[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" 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 it can be indirectly connected 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 the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, a waterfall-type sink is used for washing food or tableware in the kitchen, comprising a sink body 1 with an upper opening, and an outer edge of the sink body turned outward is provided at the opening, and the outer edge of the sink body is arranged horizontally and is produced by integral molding or fixed with the sink body 1 by welding technology. A faucet assembly is installed on the outer edge of the sink body, and specifically, a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the outer edge of the sink body for installing a faucet assembly, a drinking water assembly, etc. A drain port 11 is provided at the bottom of the sink body 1 for drainage.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, in order to facilitate the user to wash food or tableware in the sink, the side walls of the tank body 1 on opposite sides are symmetrically provided with slide rails 12 for placing sink accessories, specifically located on the side walls on the front and rear sides. The slide rails 12 protrude inward and are integrally formed with the tank body 1. The front and rear ends of accessories such as the drain basket, tableware basket, and cutting board are correspondingly placed on the slide rails 12 and pushed and pulled to slide to the appropriate position according to the user's needs. Furthermore, multiple layers of slide rails 12 can be set up and down to provide more locations for installing accessories.

[0038] Furthermore, since the height of the faucet is generally high, it is easy to cause water splashing when using the faucet for flushing. Although there are pull-out faucets on the market, it is very inconvenient to not free both hands to wash items, and the water outlet area of ​​the faucet is relatively narrow. Therefore, a waterfall device 3 with an adjustable water outlet angle is installed on the side wall of the tank body 1. Specifically, a mounting groove is opened on the side of the tank body 1 facing the personnel, and the waterfall device 3 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove by screws.

[0039] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the waterfall device 3 includes a housing 31, and the housing 31 is provided with a water inlet 311, a water outlet 312 and a cavity 32 connected to each other, and the water inlet is connected to tap water. A limiting component is installed in the cavity 32 to limit the water outlet trough 36 on the water outlet 312, and the water outlet trough 36 is movable and adjustable. Specifically, it can be swung upward or downward according to the user's use requirements to adjust its water outlet angle.

[0040] Further, such as Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, the limiting assembly includes a first limiting assembly 33, a second limiting assembly 34 and a third limiting assembly 35 that cooperate with each other. The third limiting assembly 35 is provided with a mounting block 352 that is engaged with the cavity 32. Specifically, the outer walls on the left and right sides of the third limiting assembly 35 are provided with a block groove that is adapted to the mounting block 352 at the corresponding position of the cavity 32. The two are engaged to install the third limiting assembly 35 in the cavity 32, and a sealing ring is provided between the third limiting assembly 35 and the cavity 32 to play an anti-slip and sealing role. The first limiting assembly 33 and the second limiting assembly 34 are fixed in the cavity 32 by the third limiting assembly 35 and are provided with a through hole for water circulation.

[0041] Furthermore, the first limiting component 33 is open on one side and has a first water storage cavity 332 therein, the opening of which is in communication with the water inlet end 311 and abuts against the rear wall of the cavity 32, and a plurality of first through holes 333 in communication with the first water storage cavity 332 are arranged on the other side, and a limiting protrusion 334 is provided to abut against the third limiting component 35, so that a second water storage cavity 335 is provided between the first limiting component 33 and the third limiting component 35. The first through holes 333 are arranged in a transverse direction. When water enters the cavity 32 from the water inlet end 311, the water flow is concentrated in the form of a water column, so the water flow needs to be dispersed by the first limiting component 33. Specifically, when the water flow enters the first water storage cavity 332, since the diameter of the first through hole 333 is much smaller than the diameter of the water inlet end 311, the water flow needs to flow out quickly from multiple first through holes 333, thereby achieving the effect of horizontally dispersing the water column-shaped water flow. At the same time, since the water flow enters from a position with a larger diameter and flows out from a position with a smaller diameter, its water pressure will increase accordingly, so that the water flow speed will also increase and enter the second water storage cavity 335.

[0042] Furthermore, the second limiting component 34 is arranged in the third limiting component 35, and the two are installed in cooperation through the block 346 and the slot 351. Specifically, the block 346 is evenly distributed on the outer wall of the second limiting component 34, and the slot 351 is arranged on the third limiting component 35 corresponding to the position of the block 346 so that the two are installed in cooperation, and a sealing ring is provided between the second limiting component 34 and the third limiting component 35 for sealing. The second limiting assembly 34 and the third limiting assembly 35 mutually surround a third water storage chamber 342 with an opening on one side. A second through hole 341 for connecting the second water storage chamber 335 and the third water storage chamber 342 is provided on the rear wall of the second limiting assembly 34. The second through holes 341 are arranged in an array and have a diameter smaller than the first through holes 333, so as to further divert and pressurize the water flow so that when the water flows out from the water outlet trough 361, it presents a water curtain waterfall shape. The water flow covers a wider area and can fully rinse food or tableware. Moreover, since the height of the water outlet is similar to the items to be rinsed, the water flow is softer than the water outlet of a faucet and will not splash outward.

[0043] Furthermore, at the opening of the third water storage chamber 342, the inner wall of the third limiting assembly 35 extends inwardly with a convex edge 343. Specifically, the inner walls of the upper and lower sides of the third limiting assembly 35 extend in opposite directions with convex edges 343, and the water outlet trough 36 is movably limited in the opening of the third water storage chamber 342 by the convex edges 343. Due to the provision of the convex edges 343, the water outlet trough 36 will not be dislocated outward from the opening of the third water storage chamber 342 when it is movably adjusted.

[0044] Specifically, in order to achieve the effect of adjusting the water outlet groove 36 to swing upward or downward and adjust the water outlet angle, a spherical portion 361 for active adjustment is provided on the outer wall of the water outlet groove 36. A first arc surface 344 adapted to the spherical portion 361 is provided on the second limiting component 34, and abuts against the rear side of the spherical portion 361. A second arc surface 353 adapted to the spherical portion 361 is provided on the convex edge 343, and abuts against the front side of the spherical portion 361. The first arc surface 344 and the second arc surface 353 limit the spherical portion 361 in the rear and front directions respectively. In other words, the water outlet groove 36 is limited, so that the water outlet groove 36 can swing up and down in the third water storage chamber 342 through the spherical portion 361 to adjust the angle and will not fall off from the opening of the third water storage chamber 342. When active, the user manually moves the water outlet groove 36 upward or downward to adjust the water outlet angle.

[0045] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9As shown, a sinking cavity 16 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 1, and a water outlet 11 is located at the bottom of the sinking cavity 16. A sewage interception component 2 for intercepting debris or residue is detachably installed on the sinking cavity 16. Specifically, the sewage interception component 2 includes a sewage interception basket 21 and a water outlet cover 22. The sewage interception basket 21 is provided with a number of fine mesh holes for filtering residue or debris. Correspondingly, a first sinking platform 13 for installing the sewage interception basket 21 and a second sinking platform 14 for installing the water outlet cover 22 are provided on the side wall of the sinking cavity 16. The second sinking platform 14 is located above the first sinking platform 13 and its width and length are greater than the first sinking platform 13. A sealing ring is provided around the outer edge of the sewage interception basket 21, so that the sewage interception basket 21 is sealed and installed on the first sinking platform 13. After installation, the water in the tank body 1 can only be discharged through the sewage interception basket 21.

[0046] The water cover 22 partially covers the second sink 14. Specifically, when the water cover 22 is installed close to the left or right side of the second sink 14, the water cover 22 partially covers the top of the sewage interception basket 21, that is, there is still a gap between the sewage interception basket 21 and the water cover 22 for water to flow through. At this time, small residues or debris on the tank body 1 can enter the sewage interception basket 21 through the gap and be intercepted, while larger items are in the tank body 1, thereby achieving the effect of separating small residues. When the water cover 22 covers the center of the second sink 14, the water cover 22 is just sealed and covered above the sewage interception basket 21, and the water cannot pass through the sewage interception basket 21, achieving the effect of water storage.

[0047] Furthermore, a drainage slope 15 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 1, and the drainage slope 15 is inclined and its lower end extends to the sinking cavity 16 and is connected thereto, so as to quickly drain water and prevent water residue from accumulating at the bottom of the tank body 1 and breeding bacteria.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments based on the concept of the present invention and on the basis of the prior art should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
