[0038] An integrated sink is a sink device that combines multiple kitchen functions. By integrating the functions of multiple kitchen equipment or systems, it reduces the number of equipment that needs to be installed separately in the kitchen, thereby saving kitchen space and providing users with a more convenient, comfortable and efficient kitchen experience. Currently, the countertops of mainstream integrated sinks on the market are mostly made of stainless steel, which is prone to scratches, bumps, bulges and other problems during use. In addition, the sink is usually bonded to the countertop, which is prone to debonding after long-term use, causing the sink to fall off and affecting the user's normal use.

[0039] In order to solve the above problems, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated sink, which includes a box body 1 and a sink assembly 2 embedded in the top of the box body 1, the sink assembly 2 includes a first table panel 21 and a sink 22, the first table panel 21 is made of stone, the first table panel 21 is provided with a first opening, the sink 22 includes a sink body 221 and a second table panel 222, the sink body 221 is welded to the second table panel 222, the second table panel 222 is bonded and fixed to the first table panel 21, and the size of the first opening is not larger than the open size of the sink body 221, so that the first table panel 21 covers the edge of the sink body 221 to form an under-counter basin structure.

[0040] When the sink assembly 2 is embedded in the top of the box body 1, the sink 22 is embedded in the box body 1 as a whole. The first panel 21 is the operating surface exposed to the user during daily operation. Compared with the stainless steel material used in the prior art, the first panel 21 in this embodiment is made of stone. Stone has the advantages of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance. It can also maintain its beauty for a long time in the kitchen environment and is not easily scratched or worn. Stone has good impermeability, which means that water or other liquids are not easy to penetrate into the interior of the panel, thereby reducing the discoloration and expansion problems caused by water penetration. Compared with stainless steel, stone has a more exquisite and advanced appearance. The sink body 221 and the second panel 222 are welded together into a whole. The welding connection ensures the stability of the sink 22, and the sink body 221 will not be easily separated from the second panel 222; the sink is bonded and fixed to the first panel 21 through the second panel 222 to form the sink assembly 2 as a whole. Since the first panel 21 is made of stone, the common bolt fixing method or welding method is difficult to operate. It is simpler and faster to fix the two by bonding. When the sink assembly 2 is embedded on the top of the box body 1, the second panel 222 also has a contact surface with the top of the box body 1, instead of being suspended. Therefore, even if debonding occurs between the first panel 21 and the second panel 222, the sink will not fall off, that is, the sink body 221 will not fall off, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the integrated sink. The size of the first opening of the first table panel 21 is not larger than the open size of the sink body 221. This design allows the edge of the first table panel 21 to cover the edge of the sink body 221 to form an under-counter basin structure, thereby preventing the steps from accumulating dirt and being difficult to clean when there are stepped steps.

[0041] Specifically, the stone material includes quartz stone, rock slab, acrylic stone and other stones commonly used in kitchen decoration, which can be selected according to the actual needs and budget of the user, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0042] Specifically, the water tank body 221 and the second panel 222 are both made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance and is not easy to rust, which ensures the service life of the water tank body 221. Stainless steel is not easy to absorb dirt and bacteria, making cleaning simple and convenient. The second panel 222 is made of stainless steel and can be more conveniently welded to the water tank body 221.

[0043] In this embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, a seal 23 is sandwiched between the first table panel 21 and the second table panel 222, and the seal 23 is arranged around the opening of the water tank body 221. The seal 23 can ensure good sealing between the first table panel 21 and the second table panel 222, prevent moisture from penetrating through the gap between the first table panel 21 and the second table panel 222, ensure the stability of the bonding between the two, and prevent debonding from occurring under the immersion of liquid. Specifically, the material of the seal 23 can be rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane, etc., which can be selected according to the actual needs and budget of the user, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0044] In an alternative embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, at least one side edge of the first panel 21 is provided with a downwardly extending limit edge 211, and the inner side of the limit edge 211 abuts against the second panel 222. During assembly, the downwardly extending limit edge 211 provides a reference. When the corresponding edge of the second panel 222 abuts against the limit edge 211, it can be confirmed that the first panel 21 and the second panel 222 are correctly aligned, simplifying the assembly process. The limit edge 211 can ensure that there is no exposed gap or edge between the first panel 21 and the second panel 222, thereby improving the overall aesthetics. For example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a limited edge 211 is provided on one side edge of the first panel 21 facing the user to improve the user's sensory experience.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, a cutting board 3 is mounted on the sink assembly 2, and two opposite limiting portions 31 are convexly provided at the bottom of the cutting board 3, and the two limiting portions 31 are respectively abutted against the two side walls opposite to the first opening. The two limiting portions 31 abut against the two side walls of the first opening, thereby limiting the displacement of the cutting board 3 in one direction, ensuring that the cutting board 3 can be stably placed on the sink assembly 2 and will not fall off easily.

[0046] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the chopping board 3 is provided with two opposite limiting parts 31 along the front-to-back direction. When the chopping board 3 is placed on the sink assembly 2, it cannot be displaced along the front-to-back direction, but can slide left and right without falling off during the sliding process. This provides sufficient flexibility for the user to move the chopping board 3 to different positions as needed. Specifically, the limiting part 31 extends along the left-right direction, and its length is consistent with the length of the chopping board 3 in the left-to-right direction. This arrangement effectively prevents the chopping board 3 from accidentally falling off during the sliding process.

[0047] In this embodiment, if Figure 2As shown, the sink assembly 2 is provided with a sub-slot 4. When washing dishes, the sub-slot 4 can be folded up to facilitate washing large items such as pots and pans in the sink 22. When washing vegetables or fruits, the sub-slot 4 can be installed to achieve the function of washing vegetables and draining water at the same time.

[0048] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the cabinet 1 is respectively provided with a storage cabinet 5 and a dishwasher 6. The storage cabinet 5 and the dishwasher 6 are arranged inside the cabinet 1, which can maximize the use of the kitchen space, reduce the space occupied by independent equipment, and make the overall layout of the kitchen more compact and efficient while ensuring the functional integrity. Such a layout can optimize the workflow of the kitchen, and the user can complete the tasks of washing, storing and cleaning dishes in a centralized area, greatly improving the efficiency of kitchen work.

[0049] In this embodiment, the door of the locker 5 is hinged to the box body 1. The hinge allows the door to be opened and closed flexibly, which is convenient for users to store and retrieve items. In other embodiments, the locker 5 is configured to be a pull-out type, and the bottom of the locker 5 has a pulley assembly. The pull-out design allows users to easily access items in the locker 5, especially when deep items need to be accessed, without moving other items, thereby improving the convenience of access.

[0050] In this embodiment, the dishwasher 6 is a front-opening dishwasher 6. In other embodiments, the dishwasher 6 is a pull-out dishwasher 6.

[0051] Specifically, the integrated sink further includes a drain assembly (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the sink body 221, and the drain assembly is located on the same side as the storage cabinet 5. The drain assembly is connected to the sink body 221, so that the water in the sink body 221 can be discharged through the drain assembly; the drain assembly and the storage cabinet 5 are arranged on the same side, which can optimize the layout and maximize the space utilization.

[0052] In an alternative embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the water tank assembly 2 is preset with a plurality of mounting holes, and the sealing cover 7 is set on the mounting holes. According to the needs of the user, the water purifier faucet, the faucet 8, etc. can be installed through the mounting holes. When the equipment needs to be installed, the sealing cover 7 is removed and the equipment is installed on the corresponding mounting hole. When the mounting hole is in an idle state, the sealing cover 7 is used to keep it sealed to prevent water or external impurities from entering the mounting hole.

[0053] For example, Figure 2 As shown, a faucet 8 is installed on the sink assembly 2 .

[0054] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the box body 1 is provided with a gripping groove 11. The design of the gripping groove 11 enables the porter to hold the box body 1 more easily when carrying the box body 1, reducing the slippage between the hand and the box body 1, thereby enhancing the convenience and safety of carrying.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
