Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom technology, specifically to a sink drain rack. Background Technology

[0002] Modern kitchens typically include a sink, which generally consists of the sink body and a drain hole within the body. The sink surface is smooth and free of any debris, and the bottom connects to the drain pipe. Common kitchen items such as dishcloths, scouring pads, and steel wool often lack a place to dry after use, or water droplets fall onto the stovetop, making cleaning difficult. Current technology uses a drain rack on the side wall of the sink to place these items for drying. While this structure allows the scouring pad to dry, the water dripping from the pad flows down the side wall and into the drain hole, wetting the sink again. Furthermore, long-term use can leave marks on the sink, hindering hygiene.

[0003] In view of this, the inventor conducted in-depth research on the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, which led to the creation of this case. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a sink drain rack that is simple in structure, easy to use, can effectively drain cleaning utensils without wetting the sink, thereby effectively keeping the sink dry and hygienic.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of the present invention is: a sink drain rack, wherein the sink drain rack is disposed above the drain outlet of the sink, the sink drain rack includes a plug portion inserted into the drain outlet of the sink, and the sink drain rack also includes a drain support protruding from the bottom of the sink above the plug portion.

[0006] Furthermore, in order to install the sink drain rack on the drain outlet, the plug part is a cylindrical structure adapted to the shape of the sink drain outlet. The plug part is provided with a sealing ring for sealing contact with the sink drain outlet. The upper end of the plug part is provided with an installation flange extending radially outward. The diameter of the installation flange is larger than the diameter of the drain outlet to limit the installation depth of the plug part.

[0007] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the draining bracket protrudes from the bottom of the sink to suspend and drain the scouring pad, the sink draining bracket also includes an installation sleeve extending upward from the insertion part, and the draining bracket is movably disposed within the installation sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to install the drain bracket by pulling it out, so as to adjust its height by pulling it out to ensure drainage for different cleaning tools, a locking block is provided at the bottom of the drain bracket extending radially outward, and a guide groove is provided on the side wall of the mounting sleeve extending vertically. The locking block is movably disposed in the guide groove to pull the drain bracket up and down. At least one through groove is provided horizontally on the side wall of the mounting sleeve, and the through groove is connected to the guide groove so as to limit the pull-out height of the drain bracket by engaging the locking block into the through groove.

[0009] Furthermore, to prevent the drain bracket from falling from its installation height due to misoperation, the side wall of the mounting sleeve is also provided with a slot located on the side of the guide groove behind the through groove. The slot is connected to the through groove, and the horizontal plane at the bottom of the slot is lower than the horizontal plane at the bottom of the through groove to prevent the locking block from falling out of the slot.

[0010] Furthermore, to ensure that the water drained from the sink and scouring pad can flow normally to the bottom of the mounting sleeve, the drain bracket includes a lower plate, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the mounting sleeve. The locking block extends radially outward from the lower plate. The drain bracket also includes an upper ring located above the lower plate. The upper ring and the lower plate are integrally connected by a support rod. The distance between the upper ring and the lower plate is smaller than the height of the mounting sleeve. The outer diameter of the upper ring is larger than the diameter of the mounting sleeve to lock onto the mounting sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to form a structure for placing cleaning tools such as scouring pads, several sets of inserts are arranged opposite each other on the upper ring body. The inserts extend upward from the upper ring body, and a slot for fixing the scouring pad is formed between two adjacent inserts.

[0012] Furthermore, for the purpose of suspending cleaning tools such as cleaning cloths, the upper ring body is also provided with several hooks for suspending cleaning tools, the hooks being formed by extending radially outward from the upper ring body.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to seal the drain and prevent crawling insects from crawling out through the drain, the drain rack also includes an insect-proof cover located at the bottom of the plug.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to form a water seal structure to prevent odors from rising, the insect-proof cover is provided with a drainage hole that penetrates the insect-proof cover, and the plug part is provided with a water storage tank located above the drainage hole and connected to the installation sleeve. When a certain amount of water is retained in the water storage tank, the surface tension of the water will pull the water and block the drainage hole to form a water seal.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] (1) By placing the sink drain rack directly above the sink drain, when cleaning tools such as scouring pads and cleaning cloths are placed on the sink drain rack, the drained water is discharged directly from the drain without wetting the sink, thus keeping the sink dry and hygienic. Compared with the existing drain structure set on the side wall of the sink, the present invention is more conducive to keeping the sink clean and hygienic.

[0017] (2) The drain bracket of the present invention adopts a pull-out design. The drain bracket can be pulled out from the installation sleeve as needed. When placing a scouring pad, the drain bracket does not need to be pulled out. When placing cleaning tools with a relatively large area such as cleaning cloths, the drain bracket can be pulled out to raise the height of the drain bracket in order to suspend the cleaning tools in the air for drainage, so as to ensure the drainage effect.

[0018] (3) The present invention uses an insect-proof cover to block the drain to prevent crawling insects from crawling out through the drain. At the same time, in order to drain the water drained from the cleaning tools, the insect-proof cover is provided with drainage holes. The diameter of the drainage holes is smaller than the volume of the crawling insects to ensure the normal function of insect prevention. In addition, the small drainage holes can ensure normal drainage when there is enough water in the water tank. When the water volume is discharged to a certain extent, the remaining water adheres to the side wall and bottom of the water tank to form a thin water film. The surface tension of the water will hold the water and block the drainage holes, forming a water seal to prevent the sewer odor from rising. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a sink drain rack that can be directly applied to existing sink drainers. The sink drain rack is positioned above the drain outlet of the sink 4. The sink drain rack includes a plug-in portion 101 inserted into the drain outlet of the sink 4. The sink drain rack also includes a drain support 2 located above the plug-in portion 101 and protruding from the bottom of the sink 4, that is, the horizontal plane of the upper end face of the drain support 2 is higher than the horizontal plane of the bottom of the sink 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, in order to install the sink drain rack on the drain outlet, the plug part 101 is a cylindrical structure adapted to the shape of the drain outlet of the sink 4. The plug part 101 is provided with a sealing ring 3 for sealing contact with the drain outlet of the sink 4. The upper end of the plug part 101 is provided with a mounting flange 102 extending radially outward. The diameter of the mounting flange 102 is larger than the diameter of the drain outlet to limit the installation depth of the plug part 101.

[0029] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the draining bracket 2 protrudes from the bottom of the water tank 4 so as to suspend and drain the scouring pad, and to limit the insertion depth of the plug-in part 101, the water tank draining bracket also includes an installation sleeve 1 extending upward from the plug-in part 101, and the draining bracket 2 is movably disposed in the installation sleeve 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to pull and install the drain bracket 2 so as to adjust its height by pulling and pulling the drain bracket 2 to ensure the drainage of different cleaning tools, a locking block 211 is provided radially outward at the bottom of the drain bracket 2, and a guide groove 103 is provided vertically on the side wall of the mounting sleeve 1. The lower groove surface of the guide groove 103 is flush with the upper end surface of the mounting flange 102. The locking block 211 is movably disposed in the guide groove 103 to pull and pull the drain bracket 2 up and down. At least one through groove 104 is provided horizontally on the side wall of the mounting sleeve 1. The through groove 104 is connected to the guide groove 103 so as to limit the pull-out height of the drain bracket 2 by locking the locking block 211 into the through groove 104.

[0031] In this embodiment, to prevent the drain bracket 2 from falling from the installation height due to misoperation, the side wall of the mounting sleeve 1 is also provided with a slot 105 located on the side of the through groove 104 opposite to the guide groove 103. The slot 105 is connected to the through groove 104, and the height of the horizontal plane at the bottom of the slot 105 is lower than the height of the horizontal plane at the bottom of the through groove 104 to prevent the locking block 211 from falling out of the slot 105.

[0032] In this embodiment, to ensure that the water drained from the water tank 4 and the scouring pad can flow normally to the bottom of the mounting sleeve 1, the drain bracket 2 includes a lower plate 21, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the mounting sleeve 1. The locking block 211 is formed by extending radially outward from the lower plate 21. The drain bracket 2 also includes an upper ring 22 disposed above the lower plate 21. The upper ring 22 and the lower plate 21 are integrally connected by a support rod 23. The distance between the upper ring 22 and the lower plate 21 is smaller than the height of the mounting sleeve 1. The outer diameter of the upper ring 22 is larger than the diameter of the mounting sleeve 1 so as to be locked above the mounting sleeve 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to form a placement structure for cleaning tools such as scouring pads, several sets of inserts 24 are arranged opposite each other on the upper ring body 22. The inserts 24 extend upward from the upper ring body 22, and a slot 25 for fixing the scouring pad is formed between two adjacent inserts 24.

[0034] In this embodiment, for the purpose of suspending cleaning tools such as cleaning cloths, the upper ring body 22 is also provided with a plurality of hooks 26 for suspending cleaning tools, the hooks 26 being formed by extending radially outward from the upper ring body 22.

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to seal the drain outlet and prevent crawling insects from crawling out through the drain outlet, the drain rack also includes an insect-proof cover 106 located at the bottom of the plug-in part 101.

[0036] In this embodiment, to form a water seal structure to prevent odor from rising, the insect-proof cover 106 is provided with a drainage hole 108 penetrating through the insect-proof cover 106, and the insertion part 101 is provided with a water storage tank 107 located above the drainage hole 108 and communicating with the mounting sleeve 1. The mounting sleeve 1 has a hollow structure to form a cavity for installing the drainage bracket 2. The water storage tank 107 and the cavity of the mounting sleeve 1 are integrated. In this embodiment, the diameter of the water storage tank (mounting sleeve) is 67mm. When a certain amount of water is retained in the water storage tank 107, the surface tension of the water will pull the water to block the drainage hole 108 to form a water seal. Here, the diameter of the drainage hole is less than 1CM to ensure that the surface tension of the water can pull the water to block the drainage hole. More preferably, the diameter of the drainage hole is 0.3-0.6CM, and most preferably, the diameter of the drainage hole is 0.5CM.

[0037] This invention places the sink drain rack directly above the drain outlet of the sink 4. When cleaning tools such as scouring pads and cleaning cloths are placed on the sink drain rack, the drained water is discharged directly from the drain outlet without wetting the sink 4, thus keeping the sink 4 dry and hygienic. Compared with the existing drain structure set on the side wall of the sink 4, this invention is more conducive to keeping the sink 4 clean and hygienic.

[0038] The drain bracket 2 of this invention adopts a pull-out design. The drain bracket 2 can be pulled out from the mounting sleeve 1 as needed. When placing a scouring pad, the drain bracket 2 can be left in place. When placing cleaning tools with a large area, such as cleaning cloths, the drain bracket 2 can be pulled out to raise the height of the drain bracket 2 in order to suspend the cleaning tools in the air for drainage, so as to ensure the drainage effect.

[0039] This invention uses an insect-proof cover 106 to seal the drain outlet, preventing crawling insects from crawling out through the drain. At the same time, in order to drain water from cleaning tools, the insect-proof cover 106 is provided with drainage holes 108. The diameter of the drainage holes 108 is smaller than the volume of the crawling insects to ensure the normal function of insect prevention. Furthermore, when there is enough water in the water storage tank 107, the residual water in the small drainage holes 108 can overcome the surface tension of the water and be discharged, thus ensuring normal drainage function. When the water volume reaches a certain level, the remaining water adheres to the side wall and bottom of the water storage tank 107, forming a thin water film. The surface tension of the water will hold the water in place, blocking the drainage holes 108 and forming a water seal to prevent sewer odors from rising.

[0040] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of the present invention. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of the present invention.
