[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] See also Figures 1-4 As shown, the utility model is a kitchen storage mechanism, including a storage box 3, a protective cover 4 is hingedly connected to the outside of the storage box 3, a storage box 6 for storing kitchen utensils is slidably connected to the inside of the storage box 3, and a control mechanism for controlling the rise or fall of the storage box 6 is provided inside the storage box 3. The control mechanism controls the state of the storage box 6 through a connecting rope 8;
[0027] The control mechanism includes a control box 18 disposed inside the storage box 3 for controlling the up and down movement of the first control rod 12. The first control rod 12 is disposed at the output end of the control box 18. A second control rod 17 is rotatably connected to the side of the first control rod 12 away from the control box 18. A control button 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the second control rod 17 away from the first control rod 12.
[0028] The protective cover 4 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 13 on one side close to the control box 18. A transverse groove 14 and a circular groove 15 are provided on the outside of the connecting plate 13. The transverse groove 14 and the circular groove 15 are connected. The circular groove 15 is located near the connection position between the protective cover 4 and the storage box 3. When the first control rod 12 rises to control the storage box 6 to rise, the control button 16 controls the protective cover 4 to open inside the circular groove 15. After the protective cover 4 is fully opened, the control button 16 moves from the inside of the circular groove 15 to the inside of the transverse groove 14 under the continued action of the first control rod 12. The control button 16 keeps the protective cover 4 in the open state inside the transverse groove 14. During the up and down movement of the first control rod 12, the control button 16 will be driven to move by the second control rod 17 connected by rotation. The movement trajectory of the control button 16 is designed to match the transverse groove 14 and the circular groove 15 on the connecting plate 13 to achieve control of the protective cover 4.
[0029] When the storage box 6 needs to be used, the control box 18 is activated and drives the first control rod 12 to rise. During the rising process of the first control rod 12, the control button 16 is driven by the second control rod 17 to act in the circular groove 15, pushing the protective cover 4 to open. When the protective cover 4 is fully opened, the control button 16 continues to move into the horizontal groove 14, keeping the protective cover 4 in the open state without blocking the movement of the first control rod 12. The first control rod 12 continues to move to raise the connecting rope 8 and control the storage box 6 to rise to the desired position, that is, the first control rod 12 controls the storage box 6 to rise through the connecting rope 8. During the rising process of the storage box 6, the protective cover 4 will first be pushed up by the second control rod 17. After being pushed up, the storage box 6 will rise again. Then, during the whole process, the protective cover 4 will not push against the storage box 6 and affect its movement, making the whole storage mechanism more compact, effectively saving kitchen space, and keeping the kitchen tidy and beautiful.
[0030] After use, the control box 18 drives the first control rod 12 in the opposite direction to descend, and the storage box 6 then descends and resets. At the same time, the control button 16 moves from the horizontal groove 14 back to the circular groove 15, and the first control rod 12 continues to descend. The second control rod 17 drives the control button 16 to act in the circular groove 15 to push the protective cover 4 to close. This groove, this sliding groove, has one function. When the cutting board is about to rise, one end of the push rod is inserted into one end of this sliding groove. When the cutting board rises, the sliding rod can first push up the cover, and then the cutting board can rise. In this way, the cover will not press against the cutting board.
[0031] In one embodiment, the circular groove 15 is wider than the transverse groove 14 , so that the control button 16 can control the protective cover 4 to open through the circular groove 15 .
[0032] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned connecting rope 8, one end of the connecting rope 8 is fixedly connected to the storage box 3, the end of the connecting rope 8 away from the storage box 3 is fixedly connected to the control board 7, and the control board 7 is fixedly connected to the storage box 6.
[0033] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned storage box 3 , a first fixed pulley 9 , a second fixed pulley 10 and a third fixed pulley 11 for changing the position of the connecting rope 8 are fixedly connected inside the storage box 3 .
[0034] In one embodiment, for the first control rod 12 , a movable pulley 19 is provided on a side of the first control rod 12 close to the second control rod 17 , and the connecting rope 8 passes through the movable pulley 19 and is fixedly connected to the storage box 3 .
[0035] In this embodiment, one end of the connecting rope 8 is fixedly connected to the storage box 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the control board 7, and the control board 7 is fixedly connected to the storage box 6. Therefore, when the movable pulley 19 follows the first control rod 12 to rise or fall, the path of the connecting rope 8 will change, which will drive the storage box 6 to rise or fall. The first fixed pulley 9, the second fixed pulley 10, the third fixed pulley 11 and the movable pulley 19 are used to change the moving path and direction of the connecting rope 8 to ensure that the connecting rope 8 can smoothly drive the storage box 6 to rise and fall. The setting of the movable pulley 19 can also save effort, making it easier for the control mechanism to drive the storage box 6 to rise and fall.
[0036] A kitchen sink with a storage mechanism comprises a sink 1, a storage box 3 arranged on one side of the sink 1, a water pipe 5 arranged outside the sink 1, and a sewage outlet 2 arranged below the sink 1.
