[0022] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, the following is a further detailed description of the specific embodiment of the present invention "a water tank storage structure" in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See also Figures 1-4In this embodiment, the sink storage structure includes a sink basin 100, and the inner side wall of the sink basin 100 is provided with a receiving groove 101, the opening of the receiving groove 101 is facing the inner side of the sink basin 100, and a storage box 200 is hinged in the receiving groove 101. The storage box 200 is preferably made of rust-proof material, such as plastic; the storage box 200 has a partition wall 201. In the natural state, the storage box 200 is opened upward under the action of gravity. At this time, the partition wall 201 covers the opening of the receiving groove 101 to block the storage box 200 in the receiving groove 101 so as to prevent it from being exposed to the outside. When it is necessary to take out the utensils in the storage box 200, it is only necessary to gently push the lower part of the blocking wall 201 of the storage box 200 with your hand. The storage box 200 will rotate under the force, and the blocking wall 201 will rotate together to open the opening of the receiving groove 101. The opening of the storage box 200 will tilt from facing upward to the inside of the sink basin 100, and the opening of the storage box 200 will open from the receiving groove 101, just like Figure 1 When the user takes out the utensil and lets go, the storage box 200 will rotate back to its original position under the action of gravity, and return to the closed state with the opening facing upward and the barrier wall 201 covering the opening of the receiving tank 101. The water tank storage mechanism is simple in design, low in cost, and automatically closes by gravity, making it easy to operate.

[0024] More specifically, in this embodiment, when the barrier wall 201 blocks the opening of the receiving tank 101, the barrier wall 201 and the side wall of the sink basin 100 are on the same horizontal plane, ensuring practicality while improving the overall aesthetics of the sink.

[0025] See further Figure 4 In this embodiment, a water leakage port 202 is provided at the bottom of the storage box 200 so that the liquid in the storage box 200 can flow out under the action of gravity, which can discharge some water on the utensils in the storage box 200 and prevent water from accumulating in the storage box 200.

[0026] See further Figure 2 In this embodiment, the bottom of the receiving tank 101 is set as a slope 1011, and the slope 1011 faces the inner side of the sink basin 100 to guide the liquid flowing out of the storage box 200 into the sink basin 100 to prevent water from accumulating in the receiving tank 101.

[0027] More specifically, in this embodiment, the top of the barrier wall 201 is a bent structure 2011 , which is equivalent to a rounded corner. This prevents the top of the barrier wall 201 from scratching the top wall of the receiving groove 101 during the rotation process.

[0028] See further Figure 2-Figure 4In this embodiment, two opposing hinged members 102 are symmetrically disposed on the sidewalls of the receiving slot 101. The hinged members 102 include a stopper 1021 and a hinge rod 1022. A hinged port 203 is disposed on the sidewalls of the storage box 200. The hinged port 203 cooperates with the hinge rod 1022 to achieve the hinged connection between the storage box 200 and the receiving slot 101. The diameter of the stopper 1021 is larger than that of the hinge rod 1022, while the width of the hinged port 203 is larger than the diameter of the hinge rod 1022 and smaller than the diameter of the stopper 1021, thereby preventing the storage box 200 from disengaging from the hinge rod 1022 during rotation. Preferably, the hinged member 102 is a shoulder screw.

[0029] See further Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, a disassembly channel 204 and a disassembly opening 205 are further provided on the side wall of the storage box 200. The disassembly channel 204 connects the disassembly opening 205 and the hinge port 203. The width of the disassembly channel 204 is greater than the diameter of the hinge rod 1022 and smaller than the diameter of the limit head 1021. The width of the disassembly opening 205 is greater than the diameter of the limit head 1021. The user only needs to move the storage box 200 along the disassembly channel 204 to easily disassemble the storage box 200 from the receiving slot 101 for cleaning, replacement or maintenance. The disassembly process is simple and easy and does not require the use of other tools.

[0030] See further Figure 2 In this embodiment, a limiting member 103 is provided on the side wall of the receiving groove 101. Preferably, the limiting member 103 is a screw; the limiting member 103 is located on the rotation path of the storage box 200. When the user presses the bottom of the storage box 200 to open the storage box 200, the rear end of the storage box 200 will abut the limiting member 103 when it rotates to a certain angle. This can limit the maximum opening angle of the storage box 200 and prevent the storage box 200 from tipping over; and when the storage box 200 is closed under the action of gravity, the limiting member 103 will abut the partition wall 201, and the storage box 200 quickly returns to its original position, returning to the state where the storage box 200 opening is facing upward and the partition wall 201 covers the opening of the receiving groove 101.
