Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of kitchen and bathroom products, and specifically relates to a water supply module and a sink. Background Technology

[0002] A kitchen sink, also known as a vegetable basin or water basin, is a core utensil in the kitchen used for food preparation and cleaning. It can be categorized by style into single-basin, double-basin, large and small double-basin, and irregularly shaped double-basin sinks. A faucet is usually installed on the sink to meet the user's washing needs.

[0003] A multifunctional integrated stainless steel sink, as disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219732176U, includes a sink body. A rotary switch and a mounting hole are provided on the upper surface of the sink body. The rotary switch is used for adjusting the hot and cold water valve and the water outlet. A rain filter module is installed on the side wall of the sink, and the output end of the rotary switch is connected to the rain filter module. Two sets of water inlet pipes and water outlet pipes are connected to the output and input ends of the rotary switch, respectively. One set of water outlet pipes is connected to the rain filter module, and the two sets of water inlet pipes are connected to external hot water and cold water pipes, respectively. A faucet extending to the top of the sink body is installed in the mounting hole, and the input end of the faucet is connected to the output end of the rotary switch via the water outlet pipe.

[0004] The above technical solution has the following drawbacks: While the sink is relatively conventional and widely used, stainless steel sinks are inconvenient to process. The Raindance module, knob switch, and faucet are all directly installed on the sink body, further increasing the processing steps and difficulty. Furthermore, the position of the knob switch and faucet means the sink can only be installed above the countertop, hence the name "countertop basin," and cannot be installed below the countertop. In addition, the sink's structure is unreasonable and its function is limited. In actual use, the user stands in front of the sink and controls the faucet and Raindance module via the knob switch to wash dishes or food inside the sink. In poor lighting conditions, only ceiling lights provide illumination, but these lights are typically located behind the user's head, casting shadows into the sink and further reducing the light level. The sink lacks versatility and fails to meet user convenience requirements. Utility Model Content

[0041] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0042] A water supply module, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a base 100, a faucet 200, a rotary switch 300, and a light 400. The base 100 has an installation cavity 110. The faucet 200 and the rotary switch 300 are spaced apart on the base 100. The rotary switch 300 is used to control the opening and closing of the faucet 200 and the water temperature. The light 400 is located in the installation cavity 110 and can illuminate the area below the sink or the faucet 200.

[0043] The faucet 200 is existing technology, for example, the faucet disclosed in a faucet publication (CN216867598U). Specifically, the rotary switch 300 is electrically connected to its controller, and the rotary switch 300 controls the opening and closing of the faucet 200 and the water temperature through the controller. The rotary switch 300 can be the rotary switch 300 disclosed in the background art, or it can be the control device disclosed in an integrated thermostat control device (CN219140011U).

[0044] A power switch 120 is provided on the base 100. The power switch 120 can be a proximity switch or a sensor switch. The proximity switch or sensor switch is electrically connected to the lighting lamp 400. The lighting lamp 400 can be controlled to turn on and off by the proximity switch or sensor switch to avoid physical contact between the user's hand and the power switch 120.

[0045] like Figure 6As shown, the base 100 has a protrusion 130 inclined on its side, and a mounting hole 111 penetrating the protrusion 130 is provided in the mounting cavity 110. The lighting lamp 400 is disposed in the mounting hole 111, which allows the lighting lamp 400 to be inserted and limits its position, so that the lighting lamp 400 is inclined after installation. The light emitted by the lighting lamp 400 can be obliquely projected into the water tank to improve its lighting range. Alternatively, only the lighting lamp 400 can be installed at an angle, and the protrusion 130 does not need to be additionally inclined.

[0046] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the base 100 has an assembly hole 140 that connects to the mounting cavity 110. A pre-filter 500 is installed in the mounting cavity 110. The pre-filter 500 can be a conventional small pre-filter in the prior art. The pre-filter 500 is connected to the water outlet pipe in the faucet 200, so that the water flowing into the faucet 200 is filtered by the pre-filter 500 first. The pre-filter 500 has an outer cover 510 protruding from the assembly hole 140. The outer cover 510 is made of transparent material, so that the user can observe the internal state of the pre-filter 500 through the outer cover 510, so that the user can determine when the pre-filter 500 needs to be cleaned.

[0047] A display 600 is mounted on the base 100. The display 600 is electrically connected to the faucet 200 and can display the water temperature. A groove 150 is provided on the base 100, and the display 600 is located in the groove 150. A glass plate 151 is provided in the groove 150. The glass plate 151 covers the display 600 but allows light from the display 600 to pass through. The glass plate 151 can protect the display 600 and prevent water from entering the display 600.

[0048] A hanging rack 700 is provided on the base 100, which is used to hang cleaning items such as towels or brushes.

[0049] like Figures 3-6 As shown, the bracket 700 is rotatably connected to the base 100. The side wall of the bracket 700 can abut against the base 100 and its rotation stroke is restricted by the base 100. Specifically, after the bracket 700 rotates, its side wall can abut against the protrusion 130 and its rotation stroke is restricted by the protrusion 130, thereby ensuring that the bracket 700 cannot continue to rotate and remains in its current position. By rotating the bracket 700 in the opposite direction, the bracket 700 can be placed against the upper surface of the base 100, thereby achieving the storage of the bracket 700. In some embodiments, the bracket 700 is widened laterally and covers the upper end of the base 100. The bracket 700 is provided with a clearance groove 710, which makes way for the faucet 200 and the rotary switch 300. As another option, the bracket 700 is fixedly connected to the base 100 and located near the lower part of the faucet 200.

[0050] Furthermore, the lower end of the base 100 is provided with a reserved hole 160 that connects to the mounting cavity 110, through which pipes and / or wires for the water tap 200 and the lighting lamp 400 pass.

[0051] Both ends of the base 100 are snap-fitted or threaded with cover plates 170, and the two cover plates 170 cooperate to cover or seal both ends of the mounting cavity 110.

[0052] A type of water tank, such as Figures 7-11 As shown, this sink includes a sink body 800 and the aforementioned water supply module, which can be detachably connected to the sink body 800 or the cabinet 1. That is, the aforementioned water supply module can be used in conjunction with the sink body 800 or the cabinet 1.

[0053] The upper edge of the sink body 800 has a flange 810, one of which is widened and has a clearance hole 811 through which the water supply faucet 200 pipe passes, and the clearance hole 811 can communicate with the reserved hole 160.

[0054] The working principle of this utility model:

[0055] like Figures 8-9 As shown, the sink body 800 is installed into the opening of the cabinet 1 from above, so that the flange 810 contacts the upper surface of the cabinet 1. The sink body 800 bears the weight through the flange 810, and the base 100 is installed on the flange 810, so that the clearance hole 811 is connected to the reserved hole 160, thereby realizing the top-mounted installation of this sink. The pipe or wire of the faucet 200 can be inserted into the lower part of the cabinet 1 through the clearance hole 811.

[0056] like Figures 10-11 As shown, alternatively, the sink body 800 can be installed into the cabinet 1 from below, with the sink body 800 connected to the opening on the cabinet 1, so that the flange 810 is pressed against the lower end face of the cabinet 1. Then, the sink body 800 can be fixed to the lower end face of the cabinet 1, thus achieving the bottom-mounted installation of this sink. Finally, the water supply module is installed on the upper end face of the cabinet 1. A through hole is opened on the countertop of the cabinet 1 to connect the clearance hole 811 and the reserved hole 160. The pipe or wire of the faucet 200 can then pass through the clearance hole 811 and the through hole into the lower part of the cabinet 1.

[0057] Because the water supply module integrates functions such as water supply, lighting, storage, water temperature display, and adjustment, it only handles the functions of water supply and lighting, while the sink only handles water storage and drainage. The clear division of labor between the two reduces the cost of maintenance and further research and development for each. In addition, the water supply module and the sink body 800 are separate units and can be sold as a whole or separately. There will be no interference between the two in terms of maintenance, replacement of production materials, product iteration, or addition or removal of their respective functions. At the same time, both can be used with conventional faucets in existing technology, and their versatility is good, which can meet the diverse installation and usage needs of users.

[0058] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples of the spirit of this utility model; those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or adopt similar methods to replace them, but without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
