Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household washing appliances, in particular to a water tank used for washing fruits, vegetables, tableware and the like. Background Art

[0002] The sink is an indispensable part of every household, mainly used to wash dishes, vegetables, etc. At present, the specifications of sinks on the market are relatively fixed, and most of them have only one sink, which can only be used for cleaning or washing. When facing other usage scenarios, other needs of the sink cannot be met.

[0003] CN202021473669.X "A multifunctional double-chamber sink for home kitchens" discloses a structure including a first washing chamber and a second washing chamber, wherein water outlets are arranged through the bottom of the two washing chambers, and the water outlets connect the washing chambers and the sewer; a plurality of scrubbing bosses protrude upward from the main body of the sink on one side, and the scrubbing bosses are wavy; the middle part of the sink is concave inward to form a groove, and the washing chamber and the scrubbing bosses are located in the groove.

[0004] The above solution sets up two washing chambers. Although they can be washed by category and have more functions, the two relatively independent washing chambers cannot meet the needs when large items need to be washed. In addition, the storage function needs to be realized by extending the sink in the horizontal plane, which actually occupies more cabinet space. This is obviously impossible for families with relatively small kitchen space. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a sink that can switch the size of the washing space according to needs and effectively utilize the storage space to meet more needs of consumers in view of the current status of the existing technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is:

[0007] A water sink comprises a water sink body having a washing chamber extending in a length direction, and also comprises a partition, wherein a U-shaped slot which is interlinked with each other is provided on the bottom wall and the side wall in the middle part of the water sink body, and a laterally extending limiting slot is provided on the side of the washing chamber on at least one side of the slot, and the partition can be detachably inserted vertically into the U-shaped slot or laterally constrained in the limiting slot, and when the partition is inserted in the U-shaped slot, the washing chamber is divided into a relatively independent first washing chamber and a second washing chamber, and when the partition is constrained in the limiting slot, the partition constitutes a storage plate.

[0008] The utility model provides a detachable partition, a U-shaped slot is provided on the side wall in the middle of the sink, and limiting slots are provided on the side walls of the washing chamber on both sides of the U-shaped slot. The partition can be inserted in the U-shaped slot to separate the washing chamber into a relatively independent first washing chamber and a second washing chamber to meet the needs of separate chamber washing. The partition can also be constrained in the limiting slot to form a storage plate, thereby increasing the storage function without occupying more horizontal area of ​​the cabinet. The partition can also be taken out from the washing chamber to restore the washing chamber to a large tank for washing large items, thereby meeting more cleaning needs of consumers.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing strip is embedded in the U-shaped slot, and when the partition is inserted in the U-shaped slot, the edge of the partition is elastically squeezed and sealed with the sealing strip. With the above structure, water does not flow between the first washing chamber and the second washing chamber in the divided chamber state, thereby improving the divided chamber cleaning effect.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the washing chamber is provided with a limiting structure arranged near the edge of the U-shaped slot and maintaining the vertical state of the partition. This structure can prevent the partition from tilting and causing water leakage when the water pressure in the washing chamber on one side is high.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting structure includes a first convex card, the first side of the U-shaped card slot is provided with at least one first convex card that cooperates with the first side wall of the partition, and the second side of the U-shaped card slot is provided with at least one first convex card that cooperates with the second side wall of the partition. The above structure can realize the vertical retention of the partition through a simple and less contact surface, which is convenient for the vertical insertion or removal of the partition.

[0012] Preferably, the first side of the U-shaped slot is provided with two first protruding cards that cooperate with the side wall of the partition, and the two first protruding cards are arranged vertically and spaced apart. This structure is conducive to improving the stability of holding the partition.

[0013] Preferably, a second convex catch is provided at the edge of the first side wall of the partition plate to limit the first convex catch in the chamber division state so as to prevent the partition plate from moving up. This structure can improve the sealing between the bottom of the partition plate and the bottom wall of the sink, and prevent water from flowing into the two washing chambers at the bottom of the partition plate under the buoyancy of water.

[0014] Preferably, the lower part of the second convex card forms a slope that gradually becomes thinner from top to bottom on the side corresponding to the first convex card. This structure facilitates the rapid positioning of the partition with the corresponding first convex card when the partition is inserted downward.

[0015] Preferably, the first washing chamber and / or the second washing chamber are provided with the above-mentioned limiting grooves on the two opposite side walls, and the limiting grooves are arranged close to the top opening of the washing chamber. The above structure realizes stable positioning of the partition when it is placed horizontally.

[0016] Preferably, the side wall of the washing chamber is provided with a transversely extending convex rib, under which at least two third convex clamps are arranged at intervals in the transverse direction, and between the convex rib and the third convex clamp a limiting groove for clamping the partition is formed. The above structure facilitates the insertion of the partition into the limiting groove from the side, and the operation is convenient.

[0017] Preferably, the third convex card has the same height as at least one first convex card in the horizontal direction, thereby forming a guide structure that can slide the partition horizontally from the first washing chamber to the second washing chamber. When both the first washing chamber and the second washing chamber are provided with limit grooves, the above structure can be used to more conveniently realize the position switching of the storage space, which is easy to operate.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: a detachable partition is provided in the present invention, and a U-shaped slot is provided on the side wall in the middle of the sink, and limiting slots are provided on the side walls of the washing chamber on both sides of the U-shaped slot. The partition can be inserted in the U-shaped slot to separate the washing chamber into a relatively independent first washing chamber and a second washing chamber to meet the needs of separate chamber cleaning. The partition can also be constrained in the limiting slot to form a storage plate, thereby increasing the storage function without occupying more horizontal area of ​​the cabinet. The partition can also be taken out from the washing chamber to restore the washing chamber to a large tank for washing large items, meeting more cleaning needs of consumers.

[0024] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the sink of this embodiment includes a sink body 1, which has a washing chamber extending along the length direction, and also includes a partition 2. The middle part of the sink body 1 is provided with interconnected U-shaped slots 11 on the bottom wall and the side walls. The side of the washing chamber on at least one side of the slot 11 is provided with a laterally extending limiting slot 12. The partition 2 can be detachably inserted vertically into the U-shaped slot 11 or laterally constrained in the limiting slot 12. When the partition 2 is inserted in the U-shaped slot 11, the washing chamber is divided into relatively independent first washing chamber 01 and second washing chamber 02. When the partition 2 is constrained in the limiting slot 12, the partition 2 constitutes a storage plate.

[0026] A sealing strip 13 is embedded in the U-shaped slot 11, and when the partition 2 is inserted in the U-shaped slot 11, the edge of the partition 2 is elastically squeezed and sealed with the sealing strip 13. With the above structure, water does not flow between the first washing chamber 01 and the second washing chamber 02 in the chamber separation state, thereby improving the chamber separation cleaning effect.

[0027] The inner wall of the washing chamber is provided with a limiting structure arranged near the edge of the U-shaped card slot 11 and maintaining the vertical state of the partition 2. This structure can prevent the partition from tilting and leaking when the water pressure in the single-side washing chamber is high. The limiting structure includes a first convex card 10, and at least one first convex card 10 that cooperates with the first side wall of the partition 2 is provided on the first side of the U-shaped card slot 11, and at least one first convex card 10 that cooperates with the second side wall of the partition 2 is provided on the second side of the U-shaped card slot 11. The above structure can realize the vertical retention of the partition through a simple and less contact surface, which is convenient for the vertical insertion or removal of the partition.

[0028] Two first convex cards 10 are arranged on the first side of the U-shaped card slot 11 to match the side wall of the partition 2, and the two first convex cards 10 are arranged at intervals up and down; a first convex card 10 is arranged on the second side of the U-shaped card slot 11, and the first convex card 10 corresponds to the first convex card 10 at the lower part of the first side of the partition 2. This structure is conducive to improving the stability of the partition.

[0029] The edge of the first side wall of the partition 2 is provided with a second convex card 20 which limits the first convex card 10 in the chamber division state to prevent the partition 2 from moving up. This structure can improve the sealing between the bottom of the partition and the bottom wall of the sink, and prevent the two washing chambers at the bottom of the partition from flowing into each other under the buoyancy of water.

[0030] The lower part of the second convex card 20 forms a slope 201 which is gradually thinned from top to bottom on the side corresponding to the first convex card 10. This structure facilitates the fast positioning of the partition 2 with the corresponding first convex card 10 when the partition 2 is inserted downward.

[0031] The first washing chamber 01 and the second washing chamber 02 are provided with corresponding limiting grooves 12 on the two opposite side walls, and the limiting grooves 12 are arranged near the top opening of the washing chamber. The above structure realizes stable positioning of the partition plate 2 when it is placed horizontally.

[0032] The side wall of the washing chamber is provided with a transversely extending convex rib 121, and at least two third convex clamps 30 are arranged laterally at intervals below the convex rib 121, and a limiting groove 12 for clamping the partition 2 is formed between the convex rib 121 and the third convex clamp 30. The above structure facilitates the insertion of the partition 2 into the limiting groove 12 from the side, and the operation is convenient.

[0033] The third protruding card 30 is at the same height in the horizontal direction as the first protruding card 10 at the upper part of the U-shaped card slot 11, thereby forming a guide structure that can slide the partition plate 2 horizontally from the first washing chamber 01 to the second washing chamber 02. When both the first washing chamber 01 and the second washing chamber 02 are provided with the limiting groove 12, the above structure can be used to more conveniently realize the position switching of the storage space, and the operation is convenient.

[0034] In this embodiment, a removable partition 2 is provided, and a U-shaped slot 11 is provided on the side wall in the middle of the sink, and limiting slots 12 are provided on the side walls of the washing chamber on both sides of the U-shaped slot 11. The partition 2 can be inserted into the U-shaped slot 11 to separate the washing chamber into relatively independent first washing chamber 01 and second washing chamber 02 to meet the needs of separate chamber cleaning. The partition 2 can also be constrained in the limiting slot 12 to form a storage plate, thereby increasing the storage function without occupying more horizontal area of ​​the cabinet. The partition 2 can also be taken out from the washing chamber to restore the washing chamber to a large tank for washing large items, meeting more cleaning needs of consumers.

[0035] In this embodiment, multiple partitions 2 can also be provided to take into account the functions of dividing chambers and placing objects.

[0036] In the specification and claims of the present invention, terms indicating directions, such as "front", "rear", "up", "down", "left", "right", "side", "top", "bottom", etc., are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of the present invention, but these terms are used here only for the purpose of convenience of description and are determined based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating directions are only used as explanations and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "up" and "down" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.
