DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a valve body and an integrated water tank, wherein the integrated water tank comprises: a water tank body 1 and the valve body.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water tank body 1 is provided with a cleaning tank 13 and a mounting surface 12. The cleaning tank 13 has a first inner side wall 131 and a second inner side wall 132 arranged opposite to each other. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The mounting surface 12 is connected to the upper end of the first inner side wall 131 and forms a step structure with the first inner side wall 131, as shown. Figure 2 As shown. The mounting surface 12 may be a horizontal surface. The first inner side wall 131 and the second inner side wall 132 may be vertical surfaces parallel to each other, so that the mounting surface 12 and the first inner side wall 131 form a right-angled step structure. Of course, a rounded structure may be provided at the connection between the mounting surface 12 and the first inner side wall 131.

[0026] The valve body includes a valve seat 5. The valve seat 5 is mounted on the mounting surface 12, and the lower end of the valve seat 5 and the mounting surface 12 enclose a first guide rail groove 141, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown. One end of the first guide groove 141 close to the second inner side wall 132 is connected to the cleaning tank 13, and is configured to support and guide the components at least partially placed in the cleaning tank 13. The first inner side wall 131 can be called the front side wall, and the second inner side wall 132 can be called the rear side wall. The rear end of the first guide groove 141 is open and connected to the cleaning tank 13. The edges of the cutting board, tray, drying rack, vegetable washing basket and other components can be inserted forward into the first guide groove 141 and slide along the first guide groove 141. Among them, the cutting board, tray, vegetable washing basket and other components can be completely placed in the cleaning tank 13, or partially placed in the cleaning tank 13 (for example, the front end is tilted downward to be placed in the cleaning tank 13, and the rear end is tilted upward to be held by the user's hand), which can be adjusted according to the user's cleaning operation.

[0027] The integrated sink provided in the embodiment of the present application is equivalent to giving up a part of the space through the valve seat 5, and using the lower end of the valve seat 5 and the mounting surface 12 to enclose the first guide rail groove 141. Since the end of the first guide rail groove 141 close to the second inner wall 132 is connected to the cleaning tank 13, the front edge of the cutting board, tray, drying rack, vegetable washing basket and other components can be inserted into the first guide rail groove 141 and slide along the first guide rail groove 141 to a suitable position, thereby realizing the support and guiding function of the guide rail in the related art. In addition, the first guide rail groove 141 is located on the upper side of the mounting surface, and the position is higher, which is conducive to supporting components with large placement requirements, such as storage baskets or storage racks. In addition, the first guide rail groove 141 is located on the outside of the cleaning tank 13, which is equivalent to expanding the width of the cleaning tank 13 in the front-to-back direction, which is conducive to supporting components that need to be supported by tilting downward from front to back. As a result, this solution expands the application scenario range of the integrated sink and is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0028] The guide rail protruding from the first inner side wall 131 may be eliminated, which is beneficial to improving the space utilization of the cleaning tank 13, simplifying the structure of the water tank body 1, and reducing the processing cost of the water tank body 1. The guide rail protruding from the first inner side wall 131 may also be retained, which is convenient for placing the components to be supported in different positions as needed.

[0029] In some exemplary embodiments, the lower end of the valve seat 5 is provided with an avoidance groove 51, such as Figure 3 The avoidance groove 51 and the mounting surface 12 together form a first guide rail groove 141 .

[0030] In this way, the mounting surface 12 can be designed as a large plane, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the water tank body 1, thereby helping to reduce the processing cost of the water tank body 1. On the other hand, this is also conducive to reducing the amount of raw materials used for the valve seat 5, which is conducive to reducing the production cost of the valve seat 5.

[0031] The longitudinal cross-section shape of the first guide groove 141 in the front-rear direction is not limited and can be a rectangle, a right triangle, a right trapezoid, etc. Correspondingly, the longitudinal cross-section of the avoidance groove 51 can be a rectangle, a right triangle, a right trapezoid, etc.

[0032] In some exemplary embodiments, a recessed platform (not shown in the figure) is provided at the end of the mounting surface 12 close to the second inner wall 132 , and the lower end of the valve seat 5 and the recessed platform enclose a first guide rail groove 141 .

[0033] In other words, the mounting surface 12 can be designed as a stepped structure with a high front and a low back, and the mounting surface 12 itself provides space for the first guide rail groove 141, but the upper end of the space is covered by the valve seat 5, and the rear end is open, which can also realize the guiding and supporting functions of the first guide rail groove 141.

[0034] In other embodiments, a relief groove 51 is provided at the lower end of the valve seat 5 , and a sink (not shown) is provided at the end of the mounting surface 12 close to the second inner wall 132 , and the relief groove 51 and the sink together enclose the first guide rail groove 141 .

[0035] In some exemplary embodiments, the second inner side wall 132 is provided with a guide rail 2, and the guide rail 2 is parallel to the first guide rail groove 141. Figure 4 shown.

[0036] In this way, the front and rear edges of components such as cutting boards, trays, drying racks, and vegetable washing baskets placed in the cleaning tank 13 can be supported, so the user does not need to hold these components with their hands, which is conducive to further improving the user experience.

[0037] The height of the guide rail 2 can be substantially equal to the height of the first guide rail groove 141 , so that components such as a cutting board, a tray, and a vegetable washing basket can be placed horizontally.

[0038] Of course, the second inner wall 132 may not be provided with the guide rail 2, and the rear edges of components such as a cutting board, a tray, a drying rack, and a vegetable washing basket may also be placed on the upper end of the second inner wall 132, which can also achieve the guiding and supporting functions.

[0039] In some exemplary embodiments, a step groove is provided on the top of the water tank body 1, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface of the step groove forms the mounting surface 12 .

[0040] In this way, the step groove can limit and position the valve seat 5, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency between the valve seat 5 and the sink body 1, and realizes the embedded installation of the valve seat 5, which can prevent the valve seat 5 from protruding from the countertop and is also beneficial to optimizing the appearance of the integrated sink.

[0041] In some exemplary embodiments, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the integrated sink also includes a knife holder, which includes a knife cover 10 and a knife seat 11. The knife seat 11 is connected to the mounting surface 12 and is provided with a knife slot.

Figure 2 The knife cover 10 is disposed at the first opening 121 and is provided with a strip groove for the knife body to pass through.

[0042] In this way, the integrated sink also has a knife storage function, further enriching the function of the integrated sink. Of course, the knife holder can also be used to store other tools, such as chopsticks, forks, spoons, small cutting boards, etc., as long as they can be inserted into the strip groove. Among them, the knife cover 10 can be detachably covered at the first opening 121, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the knife cover 10 and the knife holder 11, and also facilitate the use of the knife holder 11 to store other tools.

[0043] The knife seat 11 can also be connected to a separate drainage hole so that the water in the knife slot can be discharged in time, which is helpful to avoid the problems of bacteria breeding and mildew inside the knife slot.

[0044] In some exemplary embodiments, the lower end of the blade cover 10 and the mounting surface 12 enclose a second guide rail groove 142, such as Figure 1 One end of the second guide groove 142 close to the second inner side wall 132 is connected to the cleaning groove 13 , and the second guide groove 142 is connected to the first guide groove 141 correspondingly.

[0045] This is conducive to expanding the movement range of components such as cutting boards, trays, drying racks, and vegetable washing baskets, thereby further improving the user experience. Accordingly, the length of the guide rail 2 on the second inner side wall 132 can also be extended accordingly.

[0046] The lower end of the knife cover 10 may be provided with an escape space, and the escape space and the mounting surface 12 may enclose the second guide rail groove 142. Alternatively, the mounting surface 12 may be provided with a sink at the end close to the second inner wall 132, and the sink extends to the bottom of the knife cover 10, thereby enclosing the second guide rail groove 142 with the knife cover 10.

[0047] The knife cover 10 and the valve seat 5 can be a split structure, can be connected, can be disconnected, and just be close together. The knife cover 10 and the valve seat 5 can also be an integrated structure.

[0048] In some exemplary embodiments, the knife holder 11 is located outside the cleaning tank 13. Figure 4 As shown, the water tank body 1 is an integrated structure. This can save the installation process of the knife holder 11.

[0049] Of course, the knife holder 11 can also be a separate assembly structure with the sink body 1, and can be fixed by being inserted into the first opening 121 and having its edge supported on the mounting surface 12 of the sink body 1.

[0050] In some exemplary embodiments, the integrated sink further includes a cleaning fluid dispenser. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cleaning liquid device includes a liquid storage bottle 3 and a liquid outlet cap 4. The liquid storage bottle 3 is connected to the mounting surface 12. The mounting surface 12 is provided with a second opening 122 for avoiding the cleaning liquid device, and the second opening 122 is blocked by the valve seat 5. The liquid outlet cap 4 is installed on the valve seat 5 and connected to the liquid storage bottle 3.

[0051] In this way, the integrated sink also has the function of storing cleaning liquid (such as detergent, soap solution, etc.) and discharging cleaning liquid, so that users can discharge cleaning liquid by pressing the liquid outlet cover 4 without having to purchase cleaning liquid separately and place it next to the sink, thereby further improving the user experience and optimizing the appearance of the integrated sink.

[0052] In some exemplary embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the valve body further includes a faucet 7 connected to the valve seat 5. The faucet 7 can be rotatably connected to the valve seat 5, so that the user can rotate the faucet 7 to a desired position. The faucet 7 can be a multifunctional faucet, for example, it can adjust the water temperature, water flow or water shape.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the valve seat 5 is provided with a waterfall sprayer 6 and a control module. The waterfall sprayer 6 is configured to spray water into the cleaning tank 13. The waterfall sprayer 6 can spray a water curtain in the shape of a spray cloth into the water tank, which is conducive to improving the user's use. The control module includes a knob 9 and a button 8. The button 8 is arranged adjacent to the waterfall sprayer 6, and the knob 9 is located on the top of the valve seat 5. Among them, the knob 9 can be used to control the water outlet temperature. There can be multiple buttons 8 for selecting the use mode.

[0054] To sum up, the integrated sink provided in the embodiment of the present application achieves the technical effect of improving the space utilization of the cleaning sink and simplifying the structure of the sink body, and realizes the perfect fit between the functional module and the sink body.
