[0031] The preferred embodiment of the utility model is now described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the dewatering structure shown is applied to a wash basin, which is a common sanitary ware product, sometimes also called a table basin or a wash basin, including a basin body made of ceramic or other similar materials and defining a water container. It can be understood that in the utility model, "water" refers to various forms of fluids, including but not limited to tap water, sewage, oil stains, etc., that is, the composition of water does not affect the protection scope of the utility model. In addition, the utility model does not limit the type of sanitary ware products to which the dewatering structure is applied, and the dewatering structure can also be applied to any type of water-containing products such as bathtubs and washing sinks.

[0032] like Figure 1 and FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C As shown, the wash basin includes: a basin body defining a water container, wherein a substantially circular drain port 120 and a groove 110 surrounding the drain port 120 are provided at the bottom of the basin body 100 in order to drain water from the basin body 100; and a drain structure 200, which is provided at the drain port 120 to shield the drain port 120 from above and guide water from the basin body 100 through the drain port 120 to flow to a drain pipe (not shown) below the basin body 100.

[0033] More specifically, the dewatering structure 200 includes a dewatering cover 210, a movable component 220 and a base 230, wherein the base 230 passes through and is fixedly mounted to the dewatering port 120 and defines a water flow channel 236, the dewatering cover 210 has a shape that matches the groove 110, so that it can be arranged in the groove 110 to shield the dewatering port 120, and the movable component 220 connects the dewatering cover 210 and the base 230. In the illustrated embodiment, the dewatering cover 210 and the groove 110 have a generally rectangular shape, but the utility model does not limit the shape of the dewatering cover 210 and the groove 110. For the needs of aesthetics, practicality, etc., the dewatering cover 210 and the groove 110 can be designed to have any suitable rotating body or non-rotating body shape.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2C , Figure 3A , Figure 3B and Figure 4 As shown, the base 230 is formed by a pipe fitting 231 with external threads defining a water flow channel 236, a skirt 2311 protruding radially outward is provided at the top of the pipe fitting 231, and a first sealing ring 232, a second sealing ring 233, a gasket 234 and a nut 235 are sequentially sleeved under the skirt 2311 of the pipe fitting 231. During installation, the pipe fitting 231 with the first sealing ring 232 is first passed through the drain port 120 from top to bottom, so that the skirt 2311 abuts against the basin body 100 above the drain port 120 through the first sealing ring 232. Then, tighten the nut 235 along the pipe fitting 231 from bottom to top, so that the nut 235 abuts against the basin body 100 below the drain port 120 through the gasket 234 and the second sealing ring 233, so that the pipe fitting 231 is tightly fixed to the drain port 120, and the first sealing ring 232 and the second sealing ring 233 prevent water from leaking between the outer wall of the pipe fitting 231 and the basin body 100.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2B , Figure 3A , Figure 3B and Figure 4As shown, the movable component 220 includes a connector 221 and a central shaft 222, wherein the connector 221 is detachably mounted to the inner wall of the pipe 231 in the water flow channel 236 and cannot rotate relative to the pipe 231, and the central shaft 222 is mounted to the connector 221 and has a movable state rotatable about its axis relative to the connector 221 and a fixed state non-rotatable relative to the connector 221. More specifically, the connector 221 includes an outer ring 2211 detachably mounted to the inner wall of the pipe 231 and an inner ring 2213 connected to the outer ring 2211 by a plurality of connecting arms 2214 circumferentially distributed at approximately uniform angular intervals. Based on this structure, the connector 221, for example, has the function of a sewage collector, that is, the connector 221 allows water to flow through but can prevent objects such as hair from entering the drain pipe as much as possible, thereby preventing the drain pipe from being blocked.

[0036] In the illustrated embodiment, two radially opposite snap-in protrusions 2212 are provided on the top of the outer ring 2211, and two snap-in grooves 2312 corresponding to the two snap-in protrusions 2212 and matching in shape are provided on the inner wall of the pipe 231. When the base 230 is fixed to the drain 120, the movable assembly 220 can be detachably mounted to the base 230 through the cooperation between the snap-in protrusions 2212 and the snap-in grooves 2312, and the outer ring 2211 cannot rotate around its axis relative to the pipe 231.

[0037] It is understandable that the limiting method between the base 230 and the movable component 220 is not restrictive. According to one embodiment, a clamping protrusion can be provided on the inner wall of the pipe 231, and a clamping groove corresponding to the clamping protrusion and having a matching shape can be provided on the outer ring 2211. According to other embodiments, the base 230 and the movable component 220 can also be detachably connected to each other by shape limiting, pin limiting or similar means.

[0038] The central shaft 222 passes through the inner ring 2213 and cannot move axially relative to the inner ring 2213 through the bosses 2222 and the stoppers 224 (such as the retaining ring) respectively abutting against the two axial ends of the inner ring 2213. In the movable state, the central shaft 222 can rotate relative to the inner ring 2213 around its axis. In the fixed state, the central shaft 222 is fixed to the inner ring 2213 by fasteners and cannot rotate relative to the inner ring 2213 around its axis. Here, the O-ring 223 plays the role of providing a good hand feel. In this embodiment, there are two O-rings sleeved on the central shaft 222, which can also be replaced by other plastic materials.

[0039] In the illustrated embodiment, the fastener is a screw 225. More specifically, the connector 221 further includes a fixing portion 2215, which is disposed at the bottom of the inner ring 2213 and defines a threaded channel extending in the radial direction of the central axis 222, so that the screw 225 can move in the threaded channel in the radial direction of the central axis 222 and contact the central axis 222. In a fixed state, by tightening the screw 225 toward the central axis 222, the central axis 222 is tightly clamped between the screw 225 and the inner wall of the inner ring 2213 in its radial direction, so that the central axis 222 cannot rotate relative to the inner ring 2213 around its axis. In a movable state, by loosening the screw 225 in the opposite direction to the central axis 222, the central axis 222 can rotate relative to the inner ring 2213 around its axis.

[0040] In addition, the movable component 220 also includes a top cover 227 arranged on the top of the central shaft 222. The top cover 227 is covered and fixedly connected to the upper end 2221 of the central shaft 222 by, for example, threaded connection, and is detachably connected to the drain cover 210 above.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2A , Figure 3A , Figure 3B and Figure 6 As shown, the drain cover 210 is detachably mounted to the top of the central axis 222 and cannot rotate around its axis relative to the central axis 222. More specifically, the drain cover 210 includes a body 211 whose shape matches that of the groove 110 and a bottom cover 213 fixedly connected to the bottom of the body 211 by, for example, a threaded connection, wherein the upper portion of the bottom cover 213 is a threaded connection portion 2131, which extends into the receiving groove 2111 of the body 211 and is threadedly connected to the receiving groove 2111, and the bottom surface of the bottom cover 213 is provided with a recess 2132 in the shape of a non-rotating body (for example, a roughly rectangular shape). Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. Figure 2B , Figure 4 , Figure 5A and Figure 5B As shown, the top of the top cover 227 constitutes a matching portion 2271 that can be accommodated in the recess 2132. The outer shape of the matching portion 2271 is a non-rotating shape that matches the recess 2132, so that the bottom cover 213 and the top cover 227 cannot rotate relative to each other.

[0042] It is understandable that the limiting method between the drain cover 210 and the movable component 220 is not restrictive. According to one embodiment, a non-rotating body-shaped recess can be provided on the top of the top cover 227, and a matching part that can be accommodated in the recess and matches the shape of the recess can be provided on the bottom cover 213. According to other embodiments, the drain cover 210 and the movable component 220 can also cooperate with each other by means of a snap-on limit, a pin limit or the like.

[0043] In the illustrated embodiment, the drain cover 210 is connected to the movable component 220 by magnet adsorption. More specifically, the drain cover 210 further includes a first magnet 212 disposed between the body 211 and the bottom cover 213, and the first magnet 212 is fixed to the inside of the threaded connection portion 2131 of the bottom cover 213, for example, by a positioning member. Correspondingly, the movable component 220 further includes a second magnet 226 disposed between the central axis 222 and the top cover 227, and the first magnet 212 and the second magnet 226 are attracted to each other, so that the drain cover 210 and the movable component 220 are detachably connected to each other.

[0044] The dewatering structure 200 according to the present invention has at least a plurality of beneficial effects described below.

[0045] The drain cover 210 (specifically the body 211) can be in the shape of a rotating body or a non-rotating body. During installation, the base 230 is first fixedly installed to the drain port 120 of the basin body 100 at any angle, and then the movable component 220 is detachably installed to the base 230 through the cooperation of the outer ring 2211 of the connecting member 221 and the pipe 231. At this time, since the central axis 222 is not tightly fixed to the inner ring 2213 of the connecting member 221, in order to ensure that the drain cover 210 can be installed to the top of the central axis 222 in the groove 110 of the basin body 100 at the correct angle position, the top cover 227 of the movable component 220 can be manually rotated to drive the central axis 222 to rotate around its axis relative to the inner ring 2213 until the top cover 227 is adjusted to the correct angle position. Then, the movable component 220 is taken out upward from the base 230, and the central axis 222 cannot rotate relative to the inner ring 2213 by tightening the screw 225. Finally, the movable component 220 is reinstalled on the base 230 , and the drain cover 210 is detachably installed on the top cover 227 .

[0046] Therefore, the dewatering structure 200 of the utility model can avoid the defect that the dewatering cover 210 is difficult to be correctly installed in place due to the fact that the dewatering cover 210 and the corresponding groove 110 on the basin body 100 are non-rotating shapes, and due to the internal self-positioning of the dewatering structure 200, the dewatering cover 210 has a rotation-stopping function and will not move under the action of external forces such as water flow, and a uniform gap between the edge of the dewatering cover 210 and the groove 110 of the basin body 100 is ensured.

[0047] In addition, the connection between the drain cover 210 and the movable component 220 by magnet adsorption is simple to operate, stable and reliable, and has a simple appearance. When the drain cover 210 needs to be removed, it is only necessary to press the edge of the drain cover 210 toward the wall surface 111 of the groove 110 so that one side of the drain cover 210 is tilted, and the drain cover 210 can be easily picked up without the help of any tools.

[0048] The technical content and technical features of the utility model have been disclosed above. However, it can be understood that under the creative idea of ​​the utility model, technicians in this field can make various changes and improvements to the above-disclosed concepts, but they all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0049] The description of the above embodiments is illustrative rather than restrictive. The protection scope of the present utility model is determined by the claims.
