[0046] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The same parts are represented by the same figure numbers. It should be noted that the words "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the words "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0047] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a basin mounting structure, including a basin support plate 1 with an assembly port 11, a basin 2 placed on the basin support plate 1, a drain 3 fixedly connected to a drain port 21 of the basin 2, and a tensioning mechanism 4 connected between the drain 3 and the basin support plate 1.

[0048] The tensioning mechanism 4 is assembled below the basin support plate 1 . When the tensioning mechanism 4 is in a tensioned state, the drain 3 pulls the basin 2 downward, and the basin 2 is fixed on the basin support plate 1 .

[0049] The basin installation structure provided by the utility model is mainly used for installing and fixing a stainless steel basin, and can also be used for installing an adapted ceramic basin.

[0050] The basin installation structure includes a basin support plate 1, a basin 2, a drain 3 and a tensioning mechanism 4.

[0051] The basin support plate 1 is the top plate of the support platform, and the top surface of the basin support plate 1 is the table top. The basin support plate 1 is provided with an assembly port 11, and the shape of the assembly port 11 can be selected according to the shape of the basin 2. The assembly port 11 can be used for the drain 3 to pass through, and can also be used to embed the bottom part of the special-shaped basin.

[0052] The bottom of the basin 2 is provided with a drain port 21 for being assembled and connected with the drain 3. The basin 2 can be of a conventional structure or a special-shaped structure.

[0053] A conventional structure of a basin 2 means that the bottom surface of the basin 2 is a plane, and the drain 21 is roughly located in the middle of the plane. The basin 2 can fall directly on the basin support plate 1, and the upper end of the drain 3 passes through the assembly port 11 and is connected to the drain 21.

[0054] The special-shaped structure of the basin 2 refers to a basin 2 whose bottom surface is a convex surface that bulges downward, and the convex surface can be a curved surface or an inclined surface. The basin 2 is generally funnel-shaped, and the drain 21 is at the bottom of the convex surface. The basin 2 has a drain 21 partially embedded in the assembly opening 11, and the upper end of the drain 3 is connected to the drain 21.

[0055] The upper end of the drain 3 is fixedly connected to the basin 2 and sealed with the drain port 21. The water in the basin 2 can flow down through the upper end opening of the drain 3.

[0056] The tensioning mechanism 4 is an adjustment mechanism that can be expanded, extended or retracted. The tensioning mechanism 4 is assembled between the bottom surface of the basin support plate 1 and the drain 3. After the upper end of the drain 3 is sealed and connected to the drain port 21 of the basin 2, the tensioning mechanism 4 is expanded, expanded or extended, and the tensioning mechanism 4 is in a tensioned state. The tensioning mechanism 4 presses the drain 3 downward, and the drain 3 pulls the basin 2 downward, so that the basin 2 is fixed on the basin support plate 1.

[0057] In summary, the basin installation structure provided by the utility model can be used for the installation of conventional basins 2 as well as special-shaped basins 2. It does not require gluing and is convenient for disassembly and assembly. The tensioning mechanism 4 is located under the basin support plate 1, which will not affect the appearance of the countertop and enhances the user experience.

[0058] In one embodiment, if Figure 3-5 and Figure 11-13 As shown, the tensioning mechanism 4 includes a pressing plate 41 and a plurality of adjusting screws 42 connected to the pressing plate 41 .

[0059] A pressing plate through hole 411 is provided in the middle of the pressing plate 41 , and a plurality of internal thread holes 412 for threaded connection with the adjusting screw 42 are provided around the pressing plate through hole 411 on the pressing plate 41 .

[0060] The drain 3 passes through the through hole 411 of the pressing plate. A supporting boss 321 for supporting the pressing plate 41 is provided on the drain 3 . The supporting boss 321 is located below the pressing plate 41 .

[0061] The upper end of the adjusting screw 42 presses against the basin support plate 1 , and the pressing plate 41 presses against the supporting boss 321 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the tensioning mechanism 4 includes a pressing plate 41 and a plurality of adjusting screws. The pressing plate 41 has a pressing plate through hole 411 in the middle, and a plurality of internal threaded holes 412 are evenly distributed around the pressing plate through hole 411. The number of the internal threaded holes 412 is the same as the number of the adjusting screws 42. Each adjusting screw 42 passes through an internal threaded hole 412, and the two are threadedly connected. When the adjusting screw 42 is rotated, if the adjusting screw 42 does not move in the vertical direction, the pressing plate 41 will be moved up and down for adjustment.

[0063] The drain container 3 is provided with a supporting boss 321 for supporting the pressing plate 41 .

[0064] During assembly, the drain 3 passes through the pressing plate 41 , and the pressing plate 41 falls on the supporting boss 321 , and the upper end of the adjusting screw 42 presses against the bottom surface of the basin supporting plate 1 .

[0065] The adjusting screws 42 are rotated in sequence by common tools or all the adjusting screws 42 are rotated synchronously by special tools, so that the pressing plate 41 presses the supporting boss 321 downward, and then presses the drain 3 downward, and then pulls the basin 2 downward, and the basin 2 is firmly fixed on the basin support plate 1.

[0066] For example, when the adjusting screw 42 is rotated forward, the pressing plate 41 moves downward, and when the adjusting screw 42 is rotated backward, the pressing plate 41 moves upward and away from the supporting boss 321, so as to facilitate disassembly and replacement.

[0067] In one embodiment, if Fig.12 As shown, the support boss 321 is a support ring, which supports the pressing plate 41 from all sides, thereby improving the assembly stability of the pressing plate 41 and the support boss 321.

[0068] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 11-12 As shown, the upper end of the adjusting screw 42 is connected with a pad 43 , and the pad 43 is pressed tightly against the lower surface of the basin support plate 1 .

[0069] In this embodiment, the pad 43 is configured to increase the contact area with the basin support plate 1, so as to prevent the upper end of the adjusting screw 42 from directly pressing against the bottom surface of the basin support plate 1, thereby playing a protective role. The pad 4 can be made of metal plate, plastic plate, etc.

[0070] In one embodiment, the adjusting screw 42 is pivotally connected to the backing plate 43. The upper end of the adjusting screw 42 and the backing plate 43 may be connected via a bearing.

[0071] When the adjusting screw 42 is rotated, the backing plate 43 can remain fixed and not rotate, so that no friction is generated with the basin support plate 1, which makes it easy to twist the adjusting screw 42.

[0072] In one embodiment, if Fig.14As shown, the lower end of the adjusting screw 42 is provided with a tool slot 421 for inserting a tool and twisting it, so that the end of the tool is inserted into the tool slot 421 to rotate the adjusting screw 42 .

[0073] In one embodiment, if Fig.14 As shown, the tool slot 421 is a straight slot or a cross slot to cooperate with the straight end or the cross end of the tool to transmit torque.

[0074] In one embodiment, if Figure 3-5 and Figure 7-9 As shown, the water separator 3 comprises a water separator body 31 and a water separator sleeve 32 sleeved on the water separator body 31. The supporting boss 321 is connected to the lower end of the water separator sleeve 32.

[0075] In this embodiment, the drain 3 includes a drain body 31 and a drain sleeve 32. The drain sleeve 32 is sleeved on the drain body 31, and the drain sleeve 32 can be threadedly connected or clamped to the drain body 31. The support boss 321 is integrally arranged at the lower end of the drain sleeve 32.

[0076] During assembly, the water discharger sleeve 32 passes through the through hole 411 of the pressing plate, and the pressing plate 41 falls on the supporting boss 321 .

[0077] In this embodiment, by configuring the drain sleeve 32 and integrally setting the support boss 321 at the lower end of the drain sleeve 32, the structural strength of the drain 3 is enhanced, and there is no need to directly set the support boss 321 directly on the drain body 31, and the structural design of the traditional drain body 31 will not be changed.

[0078] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 7-10 As shown, the upper end of the drain body 31 is provided with a main body retaining ring 311 , and the upper end of the drain sleeve 32 is provided with a sleeve retaining ring 322 .

[0079] The mouth wall 22 of the water outlet 21 is sandwiched between the main body retaining ring 311 and the sleeve retaining ring 322 .

[0080] In this embodiment, a main body retaining ring 311 is integrally provided at the upper end of the water discharger main body 31, and a sleeve retaining ring 322 is integrally provided at the upper end of the water discharger sleeve 32. The outer diameters of the main body retaining ring 311 and the sleeve retaining ring 322 are both larger than the diameter of the water discharge port 21. The port wall 22 is a shell or wall surface around the water discharge port 21, and the port wall 22 is annular, and the upper and lower surfaces of the port wall 22 are planar structures, so as to fit and clamp with the main body retaining ring 311 and the sleeve retaining ring 322.

[0081] During assembly, the drain body 31 is first passed through the drain port 21 from top to bottom, and the body retaining ring 311 falls above the mouth wall 22 of the drain port 21. Then, the drain sleeve 32 is assembled onto the drain body 31 from below, and the sleeve retaining ring 322 is pressed against the mouth wall 22, so that the mouth wall 22 is clamped between the body retaining ring 311 and the sleeve retaining ring 322, completing the fixed connection between the drain 3 and the basin 2.

[0082] In one embodiment, as shown in 7-10, an overflow hole 312 is provided on the drain body 31 below the body retaining ring 311.

[0083] A locking nut 313 is provided on the drain body 31 below the overflow hole 312 .

[0084] A sealing rubber member 33 is provided between the lower end of the drain sleeve 32 and the locking nut 313 .

[0085] A sealing ring 34 is provided between the main body retaining ring 311 and the mouth wall 22 of the water outlet 21 and between the sleeve retaining ring 322 and the mouth wall 22 of the water outlet 21 .

[0086] The conventional drain body 31 is provided with an overflow hole 312 to be connected to the overflow port of the ceramic basin through a pipe, while a stainless steel basin is generally not provided with an overflow port, so the overflow hole 312 is not required.

[0087] In this embodiment, the overflow hole 312 is blocked by the drain sleeve 32, and sealing is achieved by the sealing rubber part 33 and the sealing ring 34, so there is no need to specially develop a drain body 31 without the overflow hole 312, which is conducive to cost saving.

[0088] The water discharger sleeve 32 is locked and fixed by a locking nut 313 at the bottom.

[0089] In one embodiment, if Figure 3-6 As shown, the basin 2 is funnel-shaped, the drain port 21 extends into the assembly opening 11 , and the edge of the assembly opening 11 is close to the surface of the basin 2 .

[0090] In this embodiment, the basin 2 is a special-shaped basin with a partially embedded installation structure.

[0091] As needed, the above technical solutions can be combined to achieve the best technical effect.

[0092] The above are only the principles and preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, on the basis of the principles of the present invention, several other modifications can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
