[0002] There are two types of existing kitchen sinks, including countertop sinks and undercounter sinks. Among them, undercounter sinks are popular among customers because of their beautiful appearance and easy cleaning.

[0003] In the application process of installing the sink under the counter, since the sink is directly installed from the bottom of the cabinet countertop, the notch of the sink can correspond to the opening of the countertop. At this time, the edge of the countertop opening will be displayed without any obstruction, which greatly reduces the overall appearance. In order to solve the above problem, bevels that match each other are set around the top of the sink and the opening edge of the countertop. This method can better hide the opening edge of the countertop and provide a more beautiful under-counter sink. However, in the existing technology, the bevel on the top of the sink is welded to the top of the sink body by tilting the flat plate, but the bevel connected by welding needs to be polished at the welding point to make the bevel on the top of the sink better match the bevel of the opening of the countertop.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0040] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 The technical solution of the utility model is further illustrated by specific implementation methods.

[0041] An under-counter seamless sink installation structure includes a sink 10, a cabinet countertop 20, and a plurality of supporting members 30;

[0042] The water tank 10 includes a tank body 11, a support plate 12 and a tank bevel 13. The tank bevel 13 is integrally constructed with the tank body 11. The tank bevel 13 is inclined relative to the side wall of the tank body 11. The support plate 12 extends horizontally along the outer side wall of the tank body 11. The support plate 12 is used to support the tank bevel 13.

[0043] The cabinet countertop 20 is provided with a countertop bevel 21 corresponding to the sink bevel 13 , the sink bevel 13 is connected to the countertop bevel 21 by gluing, and the sink 10 and the cabinet countertop 20 are locked by the supporting member 30 .

[0044] The utility model discloses an under-counter seamless sink installation structure, which includes a sink 10, a cabinet countertop 20 and a plurality of supporting members 30; the sink 10 includes a trough body 11, a supporting plate 12 and a sink bevel 13, the sink bevel 13 is inclined relative to the side wall of the trough body 11, and the sink bevel 13 and the trough body 11 are integrally constructed, thereby improving the overall strength of the sink 10, and the integral structure reduces the number and complexity of the installed parts during the installation of the sink bevel 13 and the trough body 11, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and improving the installation efficiency, and further avoiding the reduction in the angle accuracy of the sink bevel 13 caused by grinding after welding; the supporting plate 12 is horizontally extended along the outer side wall of the trough body 11, and the supporting plate 12 is used to support the sink bevel 13, and this design can provide additional support when the sink 10 is installed, thereby further increasing the stability of the sink; at the same time, the supporting plate 12 can also prevent the sink from being deformed or damaged due to uneven force during use.

[0045] Since the sink bevel 13 and the cabinet countertop bevel 21 are connected by gluing, this connection method can ensure a seamless connection between the sink 10 and the cabinet countertop 20, thereby avoiding the gap problem commonly seen in the installation of traditional under-counter sinks. The seamless connection not only improves the overall aesthetics, but also reduces cleaning dead corners, making daily cleaning more convenient.

[0046] The sink 10 and the cabinet countertop 20 are locked from the bottom by the supporting member 30, which significantly enhances the stability of the sink 10. Several supporting members 30 are evenly distributed to support and lock the sink 10 and the cabinet countertop 20, respectively, to ensure that the sink 10 can remain stable in various usage scenarios and prevent displacement or deformation caused by uneven force or pressure from heavy objects; at the same time, the supporting member 30 can also disperse the force borne by the countertop bevel 21, thereby improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the countertop 20.

[0047] The utility model realizes seamless connection and stable installation between the sink 10 and the cabinet countertop 20 by connecting the sink bevel 13 and the countertop bevel 21 at the top of the sink by glue and locking the supporting member 30. The utility model not only improves the overall aesthetics and stability, but also simplifies the installation process and improves the installation efficiency. At the same time, the integrated structure and the design of the horizontal support plate further enhance the stability and service life of the sink.

[0048] Furthermore, the water tank bevel 13 is manufactured by planing and bending the side wall of the tank body 11 .

[0049] The bevel 13 of the sink and the body 11 are an integrated steel plate structure. By performing pitting and bending processes on the side wall of the body 11, the overall strength of the original steel plate is retained and the durability is improved. On the other hand, the bevel 13 of the sink and the body 11 do not require additional connectors or connection steps, and the bevel 13 of the sink and the body 11 are seamlessly connected, which can avoid the instability of the connection between the bevel 13 of the sink and the body 11 during additional installation, ensure the accuracy of the inclination angle between the bevel 13 of the sink and the body 11 at the top of the entire sink 10, better match the inclination angle of the countertop bevel 21 of the cabinet countertop, and achieve seamless installation of the sink 10 and the cabinet countertop 20. In addition, since the bending process does not produce thermal deformation like the welding process, the overall flatness and accuracy of the sink 10 product are further guaranteed.

[0050] The bevel 13 of the water tank is realized by the planing and bending process, not the traditional welding process. The planing and bending process can solve the problem of the instability of the inclination angle β between the bevel 13 of the water tank and the tank body 11 during the welding process, and realize a more accurate inclination angle of the inclined portion where the bevel 13 of the water tank connects with the tank body 11, and the bending process does not produce thermal deformation, thereby ensuring the flatness of the water tank 10.

[0051] Furthermore, the pitting process is to open an isosceles triangle pit with an opening angle α of 128°-138° on the outer side of the side wall of the tank body 11;

[0052] The bending process is to bend the upper part of the trough body 11 from top to bottom toward one side of the pit, and the upper part of the trough body 11 is close to the lower part of the trough body 11 to form the trough bevel 13, and the inclination angle β between the trough bevel 13 and the trough body 11 is 38°-48°.

[0053] By precisely controlling the planing process, an isosceles triangle pit with an opening angle α of 128°-138° is formed in the trough body 11. The isosceles triangle pit can increase the local strength of the side wall of the trough body 11 and provide a solid foundation for subsequent bending. The inclined angle β formed between the bevel 13 of the sink formed after bending and the trough body 11 is 38°-48°. This angle range enables the bevel 13 of the sink to provide good support and ensure the stability and safety of the sink 10 during use. The precise manufacturing of the bevel 13 of the sink and the design of the inclination angle enable it to fit more closely with the bevel 21 of the cabinet countertop 20. This design not only improves the installation efficiency, but also enhances the sealing performance between the sink and the countertop, effectively preventing water or other liquids from leaking from the connection.

[0054] Furthermore, the water tank bevel 13 is provided with a plurality of circular holes 130 in an array along its length extension direction.

[0055] A plurality of circular holes 130 are provided at equal distances on the inclined surface 13 of the sink, and the diameter of the circular holes 130 is 3 mm to 8 mm. When the inclined edge 13 of the sink and the inclined edge 21 of the countertop are connected by applying glue, the glue can flow into the through groove 15 through the circular holes 130, and a "barb" structure will be formed after the glue is cured, thereby strengthening the connection and fixation between the sink 10 and the cabinet countertop 20.

[0056] Furthermore, the support plate 12 is connected to the tank body 11 by welding;

[0057] The water tank bevel 13 is connected to the support plate 12 by welding.

[0058] Welding is a strong connection method that provides high strength and stability. Therefore, the welding connection between the support plate 12 and the tank body 11, and the tank bevel 13 and the support plate 12 can ensure that the overall structure of the tank is strong and not easy to deform or loosen. Due to the stability and durability of the welding connection, the tank is not prone to malfunction or damage during use. This reduces maintenance costs and reduces the frequency of repairs and replacement of parts.

[0059] Furthermore, the water tank 10 is rectangular and includes four seals 14 , which are respectively disposed at four corners of the tank body 1 , and are used to seal the through groove 15 formed by the water tank bevel 13 , the tank body 11 and the support plate 12 .

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, the water tank 10 is rectangular, and the water tank bevel 13 and the outer side wall of the support plate 12 and the rectangular tank body 11 form a through groove 15. The vertical section of the through groove 15 is a right triangle, and the openings at both ends of the through groove 15 are respectively located at the corners of the rectangular tank body 11. By installing seals 14 at the four corners of the tank body 11, the two openings of two adjacent through grooves 15 close to each other are blocked by the seals 14, and the four seals 14 and the four water tank bevels 13 together constitute the top inclined portion of the sealed water tank 10. This design can effectively prevent water from leaking or overflowing from the opening of the top through groove 15 of the water tank 10, further improving the sealing performance of the water tank 10.

[0061] Furthermore, the sealing member 14 is in the shape of a quarter of a truncated cone, and both ends of the sealing member 14 are blocking portions, and the two blocking portions are used to block the two openings of two adjacent through grooves 15 at the same time.

[0062] The shape of a quarter frustum enables the seal 14 to fit tightly in the corners of the sink 10, thereby effectively preventing water or other liquids from leaking from the corners. The seal 14 cooperates with the openings of the through grooves 15 at both ends to ensure that the sink 10 has excellent sealing performance at all four corners. In addition, while the frustum-shaped seal 14 blocks the through grooves 15, its unique structure can strengthen the supporting force of the corners of the sink, further enhancing the overall structural stability of the sink 10. It is worth noting that the seal 14 is usually made of durable materials, such as silicone or plastic materials. These materials can withstand long-term use and frequent contact with water or chemicals, ensuring that its sealing performance and structural stability are maintained for a long time.

[0063] Furthermore, the supporting member 30 includes a mounting base plate 31, a countersunk screw 32, a pressing plate 33 and a nut 34;

[0064] The assembly base plate 31 is installed at the bottom of the cabinet countertop 20;

[0065] The head of the countersunk screw 32 is connected to the assembly base plate 31 , and the screw shaft 321 of the countersunk screw 32 is perpendicular to the assembly base plate 31 ;

[0066] One end of the pressing plate 33 is detachably connected to the screw portion 321 , and the other end of the pressing plate 33 is used to abut and fix the sink 10 under the cabinet countertop 20 ;

[0067] The nut 34 is used in conjunction with the countersunk screw 32 , and the nut 34 is used to lock the pressing plate 33 mounted on the screw portion 321 .

[0068] The structure of the support member 30 makes the installation process simple and efficient. First, the assembly base plate 31 is installed on the bottom of the cabinet countertop 20, and then the pressing plate 33 is connected to the screw portion 321 through the countersunk screw 32, and the other end of the pressing plate 33 is pressed against the bottom of the support plate 12 of the sink 10. Finally, the pressing plate 33 is locked by rotating the nut 34 to complete the fixation of the sink 10. By rotating the nut 34, the degree of compression of the pressing plate 33 on the sink 10 can be adjusted to adapt to sinks of different sizes and shapes. This adjustable fixed position design makes the support member 30 more versatile and adaptable, and can meet the needs of different users.

[0069] It is worth noting that the design of the countersunk screw 32 allows its head to be embedded in the mounting base plate 31, thereby avoiding the situation where the screw head protrudes from the surface of the cabinet countertop 20, and maintaining the overall aesthetics of the cabinet. In addition, the nut 34 can be a butterfly nut, which is convenient for installing and removing the sink 10 without tools. Finally, the mounting base plate 31 can be installed on the bottom of the cabinet countertop 20 by gluing or mechanical connection such as screws. The entire installation process does not require complicated tools or techniques, reducing the difficulty and cost of installation.

[0070] Furthermore, the pressing plate 33 is L-shaped, and includes a first pressing plate 331 and a second pressing plate 332 connected to each other, and the angle between the first pressing plate 331 and the second pressing plate 332 is greater than 90°;

[0071] The first pressing plate 331 is detachably connected to the screw portion 321 , and one end of the second pressing plate 332 away from the first pressing plate is used to abut against the bottom of the supporting plate 12 .

[0072] The L-shaped pressure plate 33 structure allows the first pressure plate 331 to be connected to the screw portion 321, while the second pressure plate 332 is used to abut the bottom of the support plate 12. Since the angle between the second pressure plate 332 and the first pressure plate 331 is greater than 90°, it can provide a larger force arm, so that when the nut 34 is tightened, the second pressure plate 332 can generate a greater pressure to abut the support plate 12, thereby enhancing the fixing stability of the sink 10. It is worth noting that the pressure plate 33 is made of stainless steel with strong strength and hardness.

[0073] Furthermore, the first pressing plate 331 is provided with a strip hole 3310 for the screw portion 321 to pass through, and the strip hole 3310 is opened along the length direction of the first pressing plate 331 .

[0074] Since the strip hole 3310 is opened along the length direction of the first pressing plate 331, it means that the screw portion 321 can be fine-tuned forward and backward within the length range of the strip hole 3310, which makes the supporting member 30 more flexible when fixing or pressing the sink 10 and the cabinet countertop 20, and can be adjusted according to actual needs. By adjusting the different positions of the screw portion 321 in the strip groove 3310, the length of the second pressing plate 332 extending in the direction of the sink 10 can be specifically adjusted, thereby achieving rapid adjustment; at the same time, it also improves the versatility of the supporting member 30.

[0075] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementation methods of the present invention without creative work, and these methods will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
