[0044] Embodiment

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this application, a sink 100 system is provided, which includes a drying component and a sink 100. The drying component is installed on the sink 100, and the drying component is configured to dry the sink 100.

[0046] In some embodiments, the drying component includes a bottom air duct member and a side air supply and heating device. The bottom air duct member is installed at the bottom of the sink 100, and the side heating and air supply component is arranged on the side wall of the sink 100, and the air duct is communicated with the bottom air duct member. The side heating and air supply component can send hot air into the interior of the bottom air duct member, so as to realize the drying of the sink 100.

[0047] For example, a centrifugal fan and a point heating element are arranged in the side air supply device. When the fan operates, the air can be blown to the heating element, and after being heated by the heating element, it can enter the bottom air duct to realize the drying of the sink 100.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the sink 100 includes a sink body 110. The sink body 110 has a first side plate 111, a second side plate 113, a third side plate 115, a fourth side plate 117, and a bottom plate 119. The first side plate 111 and the second side plate 113 are arranged opposite to each other, the third side plate 115 and the fourth side plate 117 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first side plate 111, the third side plate 115, the second side plate 113, and the fourth side plate 117 are connected end to end in sequence. The bottom plate 119 is arranged at the bottom ends of the first side plate 111, the second side plate 113, the third side plate 115, and the fourth side plate 117, and the bottom plate 119 is connected to the bottom ends of the first side plate 111, the second side plate 113, the third side plate 115, and the fourth side plate 117. The bottom plate 119 is inclined downward from the first side plate 111 towards the second side plate 113, and is inclined downward from the third side plate 115 towards the fourth side plate 117. A drain hole 121 is arranged at the lowest position of the bottom plate 119 close to the second side plate 113 and the fourth side plate 117.

[0049] In this embodiment, the bottom plate 119 of the water tank 100 is inclined downward from the first side plate 111 towards the second side plate 113 and from the third side plate 115 towards the fourth side plate 117. In this way, the bottom plate 119 with a double - inclined setting will form a lowest point near the second side plate 113 and the fourth side plate 117. Thus, the water in the water tank 100 can flow away better through the drain hole 121, avoiding water accumulation on the bottom plate 119 of the water tank 100, and enabling the water tank 100 to dry quickly to improve the problem of bacteria growth.

[0050] Since a drain fitting generally needs to be installed at the drain hole 121, and the inventor found that setting the drain hole 121 too close to the corner is not convenient for the installation of the drain fitting. To solve the above - mentioned problem, in this embodiment, on one side of the bottom plate 119 close to the first side plate 111 and along the length direction of the first side plate 111, a first diversion area 123 is provided. On one side of the bottom plate 119 close to the second side plate 113 and along the length direction of the second side plate 113, a second diversion area 125 is formed. The first diversion area 123 is connected to the second diversion area 125. The first diversion area 123 extends downward obliquely from the first side plate 111 towards the second side plate 113. The second diversion area 125 extends downward obliquely from the second side plate 113 towards the first side plate 111. The drain hole 121 is provided in the first diversion area 123 and is located at a position close to the second diversion area 125.

[0051] In this embodiment, by setting the second diversion area 125 with an opposite inclination, the lowest point of the bottom plate 119 is slightly away from the second side plate 113, thus facilitating the installation of the drain fitting.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the bottom plate 119 further includes a third diversion area 127 near the fourth side plate 117 and extending along the length direction of the fourth side plate 117. The third diversion area 127 is connected to the second diversion area 125 to form an "L" shape, and the third diversion area 127 is connected to the first diversion area 123. The third diversion area 127, the second diversion area 125, the first side plate 111 and the third side plate 115 enclose to form the first diversion area 123. The third diversion area 127 is inclined downward from the third side plate 115 towards the fourth side plate 117 and from the second side plate 113 towards the first side plate 111. The drain hole 121 is provided in the first diversion area 123 and is located at the edge of the second diversion area 125 and the third diversion area 127.

[0053] In this embodiment, by setting the third diversion area 127, the drain hole 121 can be slightly away from the fourth side plate 117, thus facilitating the installation of the drain fitting.

[0054] It should be noted that the first diversion area 123, the second diversion area 125, and the third diversion area 127 are three areas with different functions artificially divided on the bottom plate 119, and they are integral with the bottom plate 119. The purpose of setting the first diversion area 123, the second diversion area 125, and the third diversion area 127 is that the drain hole 121 can be set at the lowest point of the bottom plate 119, and the convenient installation of the drainer can be realized. Generally, the proportion of the second diversion area 125 and the third diversion area 127 is small and they are at the edge.

[0055] In this embodiment, the drain hole 121 includes a rectangular sunk hole and a drain through hole provided on the bottom wall of the rectangular sunk hole. One of the two adjacent side walls of the rectangular sunk hole is connected to the second diversion area 125, and the other is connected to the third diversion area 127.

[0056] In this embodiment, the drain hole 121 is set as a rectangular sunk hole, which is convenient for sinking the drainer into the sunk hole, so that water can flow into the drainer, and the drain through hole can make the drainer extend out of the water tank 100 to drain water outwards.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the lengths of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 113 are equal, the lengths of the third side plate 115 and the fourth side plate 117 are equal, and the length of the first side plate 111 is greater than the length of the third side plate 115. That is, the water tank body 110 is generally in the shape of a cuboid.

[0058] In this embodiment, the bottom plate 119 slopes downward from the first side plate 111 towards the second side plate 113, and the value range of the inclination angle is 1° - 3°. The bottom plate 119 slopes downward from the third side plate 115 towards the fourth side plate 117, and the value range of the inclination angle is 1° - 4°.

[0059] In this embodiment, setting the inclination angle within the above value range can achieve the function of water diversion and does not affect the convenience of using the water tank 100.

[0060] In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the bottom plate 119 sloping downward from the first side plate 111 towards the second side plate 113 is 1.5°, and the inclination angle of the bottom plate 119 sloping downward from the third side plate 115 towards the fourth side plate 117 is 2°.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the inner walls of the first side plate 111, the second side plate 113, the third side plate 115, the fourth side plate 117, and the bottom plate 119 are all provided with a clear water and clear oil coating.

[0062] In this embodiment, the coating of clear water and clear oil is provided to disperse the water droplets on the inner wall of the water tank 100 into a water film, facilitating the evaporation of water vapor during drying.

[0063] In this embodiment, the water tank body 110 further includes an installation flange. Installation flanges extending outward are provided at the tops of the first side plate 111, the second side plate 113, the third side plate 115, and the fourth side plate 117. The installation flanges are horizontally arranged, and the bottom plate 119 is inclined relative to the installation flanges.

[0064] In this way, with the flange as the installation reference plane, it can be ensured that the bottom plate 119 is inclined at a preset angle after installation.

[0065] Of course, the water tank 100 may further include other accessories such as a faucet and a drainer to enable the normal use of the water tank 100.

[0066] In summary, for the water tank 100 and the water tank 100 system provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, by arranging the bottom plate 119 of the water tank 100 to be inclined downward from the first side plate 111 towards the second side plate 113 and from the third side plate 115 towards the fourth side plate 117, such a two-way inclined arrangement of the bottom plate 119 will form the lowest points at positions close to the second side plate 113 and the fourth side plate 117. Thus, the water in the water tank 100 can flow away better through the drain holes 121, avoiding water accumulation on the bottom plate 119 of the water tank 100, and enabling the water tank 100 to dry quickly to improve the problem of bacterial growth.

[0067] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and changes can be made to the present utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
