[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a kitchen island 100, which includes a cabinet 1, a table top 2, a drain board 3 and a sterilization component 4. Among them, the cabinet 1 serves as the main supporting component and provides a certain storage space (such as accommodating kitchen utensils, food, etc. or embedded electrical appliances). In this embodiment, a drain trough 11 is recessed in the cabinet 1, and the table top 2 is fixed on the cabinet 1 to protect the cabinet 1 and provide a certain operating area. In addition, a first notch is provided on the table top 2 to avoid the drain trough 11, and the drain board 3 is covered on the first notch. The drain board 3 is provided with a plurality of drain holes 30; the sterilization component 4 is arranged inside the drain trough 11, and is used to sterilize and inhibit bacteria in the drain trough 11, the drain board 3 and the items above it, and keep them clean. Articles can be placed on the drain board 3 or on a position other than the first slot on the table top 2. In particular, freshly washed articles, such as tableware, kitchen utensils, etc., can be placed on the drain board 3 for draining and drying. When there is no need to place articles on the drain board 3, the drain board 3 can also provide a larger operating area together with the table top 2.
[0036] The kitchen island 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a first notch on the table top 2 for avoiding the drain trough 11, a drain plate 3 is covered on the first notch, a plurality of drain holes 30 are provided on the drain plate 3, and a sterilization component 4 is provided in the drain trough 11. The drain plate 3 can be used to place items, especially freshly washed kitchen utensils, tableware, etc., or, when there are no kitchen utensils or tableware that need to be drained, the drain plate 3 can also be used as a part of the table top 2 to place other items or perform other kitchen work. The table top 2 of the kitchen island 100 can have multiple functions at the same time, which expands the practical performance of the kitchen island 100 and ensures the cleanliness of the inside of the drain trough 11, the drain plate 3 and the items on the drain plate 3.
[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the cabinet 1 is usually in a regular form, having a length direction and a width direction, where the side of the cabinet 1 with a longer dimension is taken as its long side (in actual application, the cabinet 1 may also have a similar size difference between the long side and the wide side, in which case its long side may be defined arbitrarily). The drain plate 3 extends along the long side direction of the cabinet 1, that is, the drain plate 3 is also in a relatively regular form, and its edge is parallel to the edge of the cabinet 1.
[0038] The distance between the edge of the drain plate 3 and the edge of the cabinet 1 can be set according to actual application, for example, a certain distance can be provided to reserve operating space there. The specific distance is not limited.
[0039] The length of the drain board 3 is less than the length of the cabinet 1. The specific value can be set according to the actual application. In general, the length of the drain board 3 is preferably enough to hold a suitable number of kitchen utensils and tableware, for example, at least 30 cm or more. The width of the drain board 3 is preferably set to be suitable for holding at least one row of tableware and kitchen utensils, for example, at least 15 cm or more. Of course, this is only an example. According to specific needs, the length and width of the drain board 3 can be set in other ways, which are not particularly limited here.
[0040] The drain plate 3 is detachably arranged on the table 2, so that the user can remove the drain plate 3 regularly for cleaning as needed, and clean and maintain the inner wall and drain outlet of the drain tank 11. Optionally, the drain plate 3 is directly placed on the table 2 under the action of gravity, without the need for other fixing or locking, and the drain plate 3 is more convenient to take and put.
[0041] In one embodiment, the drain board 3 can be an integral board, and the drain board 3 is taken and placed as a whole. This is suitable for the case where the overall length, width and weight of the drain board 3 are not large.
[0042] In one embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the drain plate 3 includes a plurality of cover plates 31 distributed along its length direction. The cover plates 31 are independent of each other, and each cover plate 31 can be taken and placed individually. The length and weight of each cover plate 31 are suitable for users to take.
[0043] For further information, see Figure 3 As shown, each cover plate 31 is provided with hand holes 32 at both ends along the length direction. When the user takes or places the cover plate 31, he can lift one side or both sides of the cover plate 31 through the hand holes 32 with his fingers, which further facilitates the use of the user.
[0044] The shape of the drain hole 30 on the drain plate 3 can be designed in various forms to accommodate different tableware and kitchen utensils in different areas. For example, a long hole can be used to place a plate sideways, and a short hole can be used to place a bowl sideways, etc. Figure 3 Other forms of drain holes 30 can be designed according to needs, and will not be listed one by one.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the shapes of the drain holes 30 on at least two of the cover plates 31 are different.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the kitchen island 100 further includes one or more chopstick holders 8, which are placed in the aforementioned drain trough 11, and a chopstick holder opening 33 is provided on the drain plate 3 corresponding to the upper end of the chopstick holder 8, see Figure 3 The cleaned chopsticks, spoons, knives and forks can be directly placed in the chopstick tube 8 through the chopstick tube opening 33 .
[0047] Furthermore, in order to facilitate drainage and keep the tableware dry and clean, the side wall or the bottom wall of the chopstick tube 8 can be set to a hollow form, or the bottom wall and the side wall can be set to a hollow form at the same time.
[0048] In one embodiment, the upper edge of the first notch is expanded to form a step groove (not shown), the drain plate 3 is supported on the bottom wall of the step groove, and the thickness of the drain plate 3 is equal to the depth of the step groove. In this way, the drain plate 3 can be kept flush with the table 2 and will not protrude, which can maintain consistency in appearance and facilitate use, for example, when wiping and tidying the table 2 and the drain plate 3.
[0049] Next, see Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the sterilization component 4 includes at least one of a heating plate 41 and an ultraviolet lamp 42 .
[0050] The heating plate 41 is arranged in the drain tank 11, and it can generate heat when working, thereby heating the air on its surface and promoting the evaporation of residual water in the drain tank 11. On the one hand, the drain tank 11 can be kept as dry as possible to reduce bacterial proliferation, and on the other hand, the hot air can rise and reach the surroundings of the items above the drain plate 3, thereby promoting the evaporation of residual water on the items. Therefore, the items in the washing tank 12 and on the drain plate 3 can be kept dry and clean.
[0051] The ultraviolet lamp 42 generates ultraviolet light when working, and the ultraviolet light can kill bacteria on the inner wall of the drain trough 11. Moreover, through the drain hole 30, part of the ultraviolet light can be irradiated upward to the surface of the objects on the drain board 3, thereby also sterilizing the objects on the drain board 3.
[0052] In addition, the kitchen island 100 further includes a controller (not shown), which is electrically connected to the sterilization component 4, and the user can turn on or off the corresponding sterilization component 4 as needed. Alternatively, the controller can also have a built-in control program to automatically turn on or off the corresponding sterilization component 4 within a specific time period or after a specific time interval.
[0053] In this embodiment, a heating plate 41 and an ultraviolet lamp 42 are provided in the drain tank 11, and the heating plate 41 and the ultraviolet lamp 42 are independently controlled.
[0054] The number and position of the heating plates 41 and the ultraviolet lamps 42 in the drain tank 11 are not particularly limited and need to be designed according to the size of the drain tank 11.
[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the drain trough 11 is relatively long, such as more than one meter, and a plurality of heating plates 41 and a plurality of ultraviolet lamps 42 can be arranged in the drain trough 11. Specifically, the heating plates 41 and the ultraviolet lamps 42 are cross-distributed to ensure uniform heating and uniform ultraviolet irradiation in the space of the entire drain trough 11.
[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the heating plate 41 is disposed at the bottom of the drain trough 11, and the ultraviolet lamp 42 is also disposed at the bottom of the drain trough 11. In other embodiments, the heating plate 41 and the ultraviolet lamp 42 may also be disposed on the side walls of the drain trough 11. In general, the heating plate 41 and the ultraviolet lamp 42 are preferably disposed so as to evenly irradiate all the side walls of the drain trough 11 and the items on the drain plate 3.
[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the kitchen island 100 further includes a hanger 5, which includes a support plate 51, a cross plate 52 and a cross bar 53. The support plate 51 is a vertically placed plate, the lower end of which is fixedly arranged on the table top 2, the cross plate 52 is connected to the upper end of the support plate 51, and the cross bar 53 is connected between the support plates 51 and is located below the cross plate 52. The projections of the cross plate 52 and the cross bar 53 on the table top 2 at least partially correspond to the drain trough 11, especially the cross bar 53, whose projection is located in the drain trough 11, that is, when the items hung on the cross bar 53 are drained, the water can also reach the drain trough 11, and at the same time, the sterilization component 4 in the drain trough 11 can also act on the items on the cross bar 53.
[0058] The transverse plate 52 is a horizontally placed flat plate, and its upper surface is used to provide a certain accommodating space.
[0059] In some embodiments, one or more racks 54 may be fixedly or slidably disposed on the crossbar 53, such as Figure 2 As shown, the storage rack 54 is used to temporarily store small items, such as seasoning bottles, cleaning cloths, etc.
[0060] In some embodiments, a lighting assembly (not shown) may be provided on the lower surface of the cross bar 53 and / or the lower surface of the cross plate 52 to provide certain lighting functions or lighting atmospheres in some scenarios.
[0061] The switch (not shown) for controlling the light assembly can be provided separately from the aforementioned controller, or can be provided integrally. For example, the two can be provided integrally and arranged on the cabinet 1 or the rack 5; or, for another example, the two can be provided separately, with the controller being provided on the cabinet 1 and the switch being provided on the horizontal plate 52 or the horizontal bar 53.
[0062] In some embodiments, the cross plate 52 or the cross bar 53 may be omitted as desired.
[0063] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cabinet 1 usually has a sufficient width (cabinet depth), and the width of the drain board 3 is usually not large. On this basis, in one embodiment, at least one cleaning tank 12 is further provided in the cabinet 1, and a second notch 22 for avoiding the cleaning tank 12 is provided on the table 2. The cleaning tank 12 and the drain board 3 can be distributed in the width direction of the cabinet 1 to ensure that the two are as close as possible. After the user washes the items in the cleaning tank 12, the items can be conveniently placed on the drain board 3 and / or the rack 5 for draining.
[0064] The number of the cleaning tanks 12 is also not limited, and can be specifically set in combination with the length of the cabinet 1. For example, there can be two cleaning tanks 12, or a single cleaning tank, or more cleaning tanks 12 can be set, which is not particularly limited here.
[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the length of the table top 2 is greater than the length of the cabinet 1, and there is a certain space under the protruding portion of the table top 2, which can be used as an extended functional area for users to perform a series of meal preparation operations. It can be understood that the "length greater than" here means that there is a significant length difference between the two to form an area with a distinct appearance and certain functions. If it is only for reasons or purposes other than the functional area, such as tolerance, it will not be considered as "length greater than".
[0066] The width of the table top 2 is equal to the width of the cabinet 1. It can also be understood that the "width is equal" here means that the widths of the two are substantially equal, including tolerances and the like.
[0067] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the kitchen island 100 further includes an extension rack 6 and a dining table 7. The extension rack 6 is arranged on one side of the length direction of the cabinet 1, preferably on the opposite side of the above-mentioned extended functional area. The extension rack 6 has a plurality of storage shelves 61 for users to place other kitchen utensils there. The position of the dining table 7 is not limited, and it can be a separate structure from the cabinet 1 and the extension rack 6, or it can be an integrated structure with the cabinet 1 and the extension rack 6. The specific design can be changed according to space and functional requirements.
[0068] For example, in one embodiment, the dining table 7 extends from the extension frame 6 along the width direction of the cabinet 1 to form an "L" structure with the cabinet 1, that is, the kitchen island 100 is an L-shaped dining island integrated structure.
[0069] The extension rack 6 and its storage shelves 61 are not limited in form and can be arranged based on functional requirements. For example, the topmost board of the extension rack 6 is connected to the horizontal board 52 of the hanging rack 5. In this way, the appearance of the kitchen island 100 can be guaranteed to be consistent.
[0070] In one embodiment, based on the dining habits of most families, the cabinet 1 and the extension frame 6 are configured as stainless steel structures, and the stainless steel plates are welded using a full welding process to reduce the gap between the plates and ensure the strength of the cabinet 1 and the extension frame 6.
[0071] The dining table 7 can take into account both strength and beauty, for example, Figure 5 As shown, the dining table 7 includes a stainless steel dining table body 71, and a decorative layer 72 provided on the front and side of the dining table body 71. The decorative layer 72 is in any form, and may be a solid wood board, a composite board, a particle board, a glass board, a rock board, etc. The surface form of the decorative board is not limited, for example, it may be a plain color surface without any pattern, or may be a wood grain or other decorative pattern.
[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
