Thus, features defined as "first", "second" and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 The technical solution of the utility model is further illustrated by specific implementation methods.

[0035] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model discloses a seamless water tank, comprising a rectangular tank body 1, a support plate 2, four water tank bevel edges 3 and four sealing members 4;

[0036] The support plate 2 is horizontally extended around the outer side of the rectangular tank body 1;

[0037] The water tank bevel 3 is inclinedly arranged on the outside of the rectangular tank body 1, the upper side of the water tank bevel 3 is connected to the top of the rectangular tank body 1, and the lower side of the water tank bevel 3 is connected to the support plate 2, and the four water tank bevels 3 correspond to the four sides of the rectangular tank body 1 respectively;

[0038] The seal 4 is used to seal the through groove 5 formed by the inclined edge 3 of the water tank, the rectangular tank body 1 and the support plate 2. The four seals 4 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the top of the rectangular tank body 1. The four inclined edges 3 of the water tank and the four seals 4 are arranged at intervals to form a top mounting structure of a seamless water tank.

[0039] The support plate 2 extends horizontally around the outer side of the rectangular trough body 1, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the sink and enabling it to withstand greater weight and pressure. At the same time, the support plate 2 can also serve as a supporting structure for the sink, increasing the contact area between the sink edge and the mounting surface and reducing the pressure of the sink on the mounting surface. The bevel 3 of the sink extends and is inclined along the length direction of one side of the rectangular trough body 1. The bevel 3 of the sink, the support plate 2 and the outer side wall of the rectangular trough body 1 form a through groove 5. The vertical section of the through groove 5 is a right triangle, and the openings at both ends of the through groove 5 are respectively located at the corners of the rectangular trough body 1. By installing seals 4 at the four corners of the rectangular trough body 1, the two openings of two adjacent through grooves 5 close to each other are blocked by the seals 4. Then, the four seals 4 and the four bevels 3 of the sink together constitute a sealed top inclined portion of the sink. This design can effectively prevent water from overflowing or leaking from the top of the sink, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the sink. In addition, the sealed inclined portion of the sink top formed by the seals 4 and the bevels 3 of the sink is convenient for installation in coordination with the edge bevel of the cabinet countertop, which can not only hide the edge of the cabinet countertop, but also make the sink more beautiful after installation. This solution forms a seamless sink by combining a support plate 2, a sink bevel 3 and a seal 4, thereby improving the waterproof performance, installation convenience, aesthetics and stability of the sink, and is a practical and efficient kitchen sink design solution.

[0040] Furthermore, the sealing member 4 is in the shape of a quarter of a truncated cone, and includes two blocking portions 41, an inclined transition portion 42 and a water tank abutting portion 43;

[0041] The water tank abutment portion 43 is located at the front end of the sealing member 4, and the water tank abutment portion 43 is used to abut against the outer side wall of the rectangular tank body 1 during sealing;

[0042] The two blocking portions 41 are respectively located at two ends of the sealing member 4, and the planes where the two blocking portions 41 are located are perpendicular to each other. The two blocking portions 41 are used to block the two openings of two adjacent through grooves 5 at the same time;

[0043] The inclined transition portion 42 is located at the rear end of the sealing member 4 . The inclined transition portion 42 is inclined from top to bottom. The inclined angle of the inclined transition portion 42 is the same as the inclined angle of the inclined edge 3 of the water tank.

[0044] The seal 4 is in the shape of a quarter cone, which can fit tightly into the gap between two adjacent through grooves 5. This design effectively prevents water or other liquids from overflowing from the corners of the sink, ensuring the sealing performance of the sink. The seal 4 includes two blocking parts 41, which are respectively located at the two ends of the seal, and the planes where they are located are perpendicular to each other, so that one seal 4 can block the two openings of two adjacent through grooves 5 at the same time, thereby simplifying the installation process and improving the sealing efficiency; the inclination angle of the inclined transition part 42 is the same as the inclination angle of the bevel 3 of the sink, ensuring that the seal 4 can fit smoothly and tightly against the bevel 3 of the sink, forming a sealed inclined part at the top of the sink, further enhancing the sealing of the sink and reducing the risk of water leakage; the seal 4 abuts against the outer wall of the rectangular trough body 1 through the sink abutment part 43 at the front end, increasing the contact area between the seal 4 and the rectangular trough body 1, thereby improving the stability of the structure. Even when the sink is subjected to external impact or vibration, the seal can remain stable to ensure that the sealing performance of the sink is not affected. Due to the shape design of the sealing member 4, it can be quickly and accurately positioned and fixed during the installation process of the sink, which not only improves the installation efficiency, but also reduces the installation difficulty, so that ordinary users can also easily complete the installation of the sink.

[0045] Furthermore, the blocking portion 41 is provided with a stepped protrusion 44 , and the stepped protrusion 44 is used to be inserted into the through groove 5 .

[0046] The design of the stepped protrusion 44 allows the sealing portion 41 to be inserted deeper into the through groove 5, which increases the contact area between the seal 4 and the through groove 5, thereby reducing the possibility of liquid leakage. This design improves the overall sealing performance of the sink. In addition, the introduction of the stepped protrusion 44 makes it easier to align and fix the seal 4 during installation. The user only needs to ensure that the stepped protrusion 44 is aligned with the corresponding part of the through groove 5 and then insert it. This design reduces the difficulty of installation and improves the installation accuracy. Due to the presence of the stepped protrusion 44, the seal 4 is more firmly fixed in the through groove 5. This helps to prevent the seal 4 from loosening or shifting during use, thereby ensuring the long-term stability and reliability of the sink. The design of the stepped protrusion 44 has a certain flexibility and can adapt to through grooves 5 of different sizes. This means that even if there are slight size differences, the seal 4 can still effectively seal the through groove 5, reducing the requirements for the manufacturing accuracy of the sink.

[0047] Furthermore, the sealing member 4 is made of silicone material, and the sealing member is an integrated structure without a hollow portion. The bottom of the sealing member 4 is connected to the top of the support plate 2 by gluing.

[0048] Excellent sealing performance: The silicone material has good elasticity and aging resistance, which can ensure that the seal 4 maintains a stable sealing effect for a long time; the water resistance and chemical corrosion resistance of silicone also enable the seal 4 to maintain good performance in various environments. The silicone material has excellent wear resistance and tear resistance, which makes the seal 4 not easy to be damaged during long-term use, extending the service life of the sink. In addition, the seal 4 adopts an integrated non-hollow structure, which avoids the problems of bubbles, cracks and other problems that may be caused by the hollow structure, and further improves the stability and reliability of the seal. Specifically, the bottom of the seal 4 is glued and connected to the top of the support plate 2 by gluing. On the one hand, the glue connection has a reliable connection strength, which can ensure that the seal 4 will not fall off or shift during use, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the sink; on the other hand, this installation method is simple and quick, does not require additional fixings or tools, and reduces the difficulty and cost of installation.

[0049] Furthermore, a protruding margin portion 45 extending upward is provided on the top of the sealing member 4 .

[0050] When the seamless sink of the present application is installed at the bottom of the cabinet panel, when the weight of the cabinet panel presses against the top of the sink, the protruding margins 45 at the top of the silicone seal 4 at the four corners of the sink can form additional pressure contact with the possible installation surface (such as the cabinet countertop) after installation, thereby further enhancing the sealing effect between the seal 4 and the installation surface. This helps prevent water or other liquids from seeping out of the gap between the sink and the installation surface.

[0051] Further explanation, since there may be differences in factors such as the flatness and material of the mounting surface, the design of the protruding margin portion 45 can provide better installation adaptability. Even if there is a certain degree of unevenness on the mounting surface, the protruding margin portion 45 can compensate for these differences to a certain extent, ensuring that the seal 4 can fit the mounting surface tightly. In addition, the pressure contact between the protruding margin portion 45 and the mounting surface can enhance the structural stability of the seal 4. This design makes the seal 4 more secure after installation, reducing the risk of loosening or displacement due to external force or vibration. Although the design of the protruding margin portion 45 increases certain installation accuracy requirements, it does not increase the difficulty of installation in general. On the contrary, since the protruding margin portion 45 can provide better installation adaptability and sealing effect, the installation process is simplified to a certain extent.

[0052] Furthermore, the sealing member 4 is made of plastic material, and the sealing member 4 is a hollow structure;

[0053] A vertical crack 431 is provided at the middle and lower part of the water tank abutting portion 43 .

[0054] The seal 4 is made of a harder plastic material that can support a cabinet panel with a certain weight, and the hollow structure design makes it lighter, which is not only convenient for transportation and installation, but also reduces the pressure on the sink and the installation surface; secondly, plastic materials are cheaper than materials such as silicone and are easy to mass produce, which reduces the manufacturing cost of the seal 4, thereby improving the cost-effectiveness of the product.

[0055] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, a vertical crack 431 is provided in the middle and lower part of the water tank abutment part 43. When the two ends of the seal 4 are squeezed, the seal 4 can be deformed and contracted toward the middle crack 431, so that the sealing parts 41 at both ends of the seal 4 are conveniently aligned with the openings of the through grooves 5 on both sides before installing the seal. It is worth noting that since the crack 431 is located in the middle and lower part of the water tank abutment part 43, the upper part of the water tank abutment part 43 is still connected as a whole, and therefore does not affect the overall sealing performance of the seal 4.

[0056] Furthermore, a screw hole 46 is provided at the bottom of the sealing member 4 , and an opening is provided at the support plate 2 . The sealing member 4 and the support plate 2 are installed by fasteners passing through the opening and the screw hole 46 .

[0057] Stable and reliable installation: The seal 4 is fixed to the support plate 2 by fasteners such as screws, which can ensure that the connection between the seal 4 and the support plate 2 is stable and reliable. Compared with the adhesive connection method, this mechanical connection method has higher connection strength and stability, and can effectively prevent the seal from loosening or falling off during use. It is further explained that the screw connection method can adapt to seals and support plates of different sizes and shapes. By selecting suitable screws and fasteners, it can ensure that the connection between the seal 4 and the support plate 2 is tight and stable, which is suitable for various types of sink installation requirements.

[0058] Furthermore, the bevel 3 of the water tank is made by planing and bending the outer side wall of the rectangular tank body 1 .

[0059] Through the process of gouging and bending, the bevel 3 of the water tank forms an integrated structure with the outer wall of the rectangular tank body 1. Specifically, after the outer wall of the rectangular tank body 1 is gouged to a certain depth and a certain angle, the edge of the tank body above the gouging position is bent outward at a certain angle to make it inclined at a certain angle with the lower tank body (vertical part); and then the bent edge of the tank body is connected to the support plate 2. Compared with welding the long plate-shaped bevel 3 of the water tank to the rectangular tank body 1 and the support plate 2 respectively, the process of gouging and bending on the tank body of the water tank in this solution makes the structural strength of the inclined part of the top of the water tank higher, and the bevel 3 of the water tank can withstand greater pressure and impact force, thereby improving the overall stability and durability of the water tank.

[0060] Furthermore, the water tank bevel 3 is connected to the support plate 2 by welding.

[0061] Welding connection is a very strong connection method. The welding connection between the sink bevel 3 and the support plate 2 can withstand large tensile and shear forces, thereby enhancing the stability and durability of the entire sink structure.

[0062] 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.
