Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture, specifically to a kitchen workbench. Background Technology

[0002] The kitchen countertop consists of a horizontal mounting platform and a sink. The platform has through-holes for mounting the sink, which is then installed in these holes. The sink's sidewalls are glued to the wall of the mounting holes. Sinks are typically made of stainless steel rather than ceramic, primarily because stainless steel can withstand greater impact without easily breaking. For example, when washing knives, pots, or other heavy items on the sink, even if the items are accidentally dropped and fall on the sink, it is less likely to damage it. In traditional designs, the sink's sidewalls and the wall of the mounting holes are tightly fitted together. From the top, the gap between the sink's sidewalls and the wall of the mounting holes is small, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance. During installation, installers first apply an appropriate amount of adhesive evenly to the side wall of the sink and the wall of the mounting hole, then bond the two together. However, in practice, installers may make mistakes, resulting in insufficient adhesive application or missed areas. Since the side wall of the sink and the wall of the mounting hole are tightly bonded, it is difficult for installers to add more adhesive between them, which may affect the stability of the sink installation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a kitchen workbench. When installing this kitchen workbench, even if the amount of adhesive applied between the sink side wall and the mounting hole wall in the adhesive state is insufficient or there are omissions, the installer can add adhesive. Moreover, after installation, the gap between the sink side wall and the mounting hole wall is small when viewed from the top surface.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a kitchen workbench, including a mounting platform with a through mounting hole. A stainless steel sink is installed in the mounting hole. Adhesive is provided between the wall of the mounting hole and the side wall of the sink to bond them together. The feature is that a gap, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, is left between the wall of the mounting hole and the side wall of the sink. The upper edge of the side wall of the sink fits against the upper edge of the wall of the mounting hole, and a glue-filling port is left between the lower edge of the side wall of the sink and the lower edge of the wall of the mounting hole for adding adhesive.

[0005] Furthermore, the upper edge of the side wall of the water tank is flush with the upper surface of the mounting platform.

[0006] Furthermore, the sidewalls of the water tank and the walls of the mounting holes are non-parallel planar walls.

[0007] Furthermore, an adhesive wall extends outward from the water tank body at an angle, serving as the side wall of the water tank and being bonded to the wall of the mounting hole.

[0008] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is provided to connect the end of the adhesive wall to the water tank body.

[0009] Furthermore, the adhesive wall extends from the upper edge of the water tank body downwards and to the side, and the reinforcing plate connects the lower end of the adhesive wall to the water tank body.

[0010] Furthermore, MS adhesive is used to bond the lower surface of the reinforcing plate, the lower end of the adhesive wall, and the lower surface of the mounting platform together.

[0011] Furthermore, the adhesive wall of the water tank has a notch, and adhesive is injected into the inside of the adhesive wall through the notch to form a supporting adhesive block for supporting the adhesive wall.

[0012] Furthermore, a support component is installed on the underside of the mounting platform, extending below the water tank to support it.

[0013] During installation, installers use adhesive to bond the mounting hole wall and the sink sidewall together. Because there's a touch-up opening between the lower edge of the sink sidewall and the lower edge of the mounting hole wall for reapplying adhesive, even if the amount of adhesive applied between the two walls is insufficient or there are missed areas, installers can easily add more adhesive through this opening. Since the upper edge of the sink sidewall adheres to the portion of the mounting hole wall located on the outer surface of the mounting platform, the gap between the sink sidewall and the mounting hole wall is minimal when viewed from above after installation, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1The kitchen workbench shown includes a stainless steel sink 1 and a mounting platform 2. The mounting platform 2 has through mounting holes 21. (See attached image) Figure 4 The upper edge 10 of the water tank 1 extends outward and downward at an angle, with an adhesive wall 11 extending from it. This adhesive wall 11 serves as the side wall of the water tank 1. The adhesive wall 11 has a notch 4 at each of the outer rounded corners of the water tank 1, for a total of four notches 4. Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a reinforcing plate 13 connects the lower end of the adhesive wall 11 to the tank body 15 of the water tank 1. The water tank 1 is installed in the mounting hole 21. The installation steps are as follows:

[0021] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 First, a temporary support (not shown in the figure) is set up at the bottom of the water tank 1 to support the water tank 1. Then, adhesive (not shown in the figure) is applied to the outside of the adhesive wall 11 of the water tank 1, with some of the adhesive flowing into the inside 12 of the adhesive wall 11 from the four notches 4. After the adhesive is applied, the mounting platform 2 is moved above the water tank 1, with the mounting hole 21 of the mounting platform 2 facing down and aligned with the water tank 1. Then, the mounting platform 2 is moved from top to bottom towards the water tank 1 until the mounting platform 2 presses down on the adhesive wall 11 of the water tank 1. The water tank 1 is installed into the mounting hole 21 of the mounting platform 2 in this way. Figure 3 As shown, in this state: the upper edge 10 of the adhesive wall 11 of the sink 1 is flush with the upper edge of the wall 22 of the mounting hole 21, and is level with the upper surface 24 of the mounting platform 2. Viewed from the upper surface 24, the gap 31 between the side wall of the sink 1 and the wall 22 of the mounting hole 21 is small, which looks aesthetically pleasing. The adhesive wall 11 of the sink 1 and the wall 22 of the mounting hole 21 are non-parallel planar walls, with a gap 31 between them that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. The adhesive applied to the outside of the adhesive wall 11 is located in this gap 31, bonding the wall 22 of the mounting hole 21 to the adhesive wall 11. A touch-up applicator 310 is provided between the lower edge of the adhesive wall 11 of the sink 1 and the lower edge of the wall 22 of the mounting hole 21. If the amount of adhesive applied is insufficient or there are missed areas, the operator will add adhesive to the gap 31 through the touch-up applicator 310 to ensure the sink 1 is securely installed. After the adhesive flowing into the inner side 12 of the bonding wall 11 solidifies, it forms a supporting adhesive block, providing support for the bonding wall 11. After the adhesive has completely solidified, MS adhesive 33 is applied to the lower surface of the reinforcing plate 13, the lower end of the bonding wall 11, and the lower surface 23 of the mounting platform 2 to bond the lower surface of the reinforcing plate 13, the lower end of the bonding wall 11, and the lower surface 23 of the mounting platform 2 together.

[0022] See Figure 2 and Figure 3This kitchen workbench includes multiple identical support components 32. Each support component 32 includes a base 320, a support block 322, and a nut 321. The support block 322 has an opening in the middle. A screw 323, which matches the nut 321, extends downward from the bottom surface of the base 320. After the MS adhesive 33 has solidified, the installer installs the multiple support components 32 onto the front 231 and rear 232 of the lower surface 23 of the mounting platform 2. Taking a support component 32 installed on the front 231 of the lower surface 23 of the mounting platform 2 as an example, the installation steps for this support component 32 are as follows:

[0023] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 First, glue the top surface of the base 320 to the lower surface 23 of the mounting platform 2 using AB glue. Then, align the opening in the middle of the support block 322 with the screw 323 and put the support block 322 onto the screw 323, allowing the screw 323 to pass through the opening in the middle of the support block 322. In this state, the inner side 3222 of the support block 322 is located below the reinforcing plate 13 of the water tank 1, and the outer side 3221 of the support block 322 is located below the lower surface 23 of the mounting platform 2. Then, put the nut 321 onto the lower end of the screw 323 to support the support block 322. The inner side 3222 of the support block 322 then faces upward to support the reinforcing plate 13, thereby providing support for the water tank 1 and ensuring that the water tank 1 can be firmly fixed on the mounting platform 2. The support member 32 installed on the rear part 232 of the lower surface 23 of the mounting platform 2 is installed in the same way as the support member 32 installed on the front part 231 of the lower surface 23 of the mounting platform 2, and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] After installing the support component 32, the installers removed the temporary support components, thus completing the installation of the water tank 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the upper edge 10 of the side wall of the sink 1 is flush with the upper surface 24 of the mounting platform 2, and there is no step between them, making it less likely for dirt to accumulate. In a non-preferred embodiment, the upper edge 10 of the side wall of the sink 1 can be made not flush with the upper surface 24 of the mounting platform 2, but doing so would create a step between them, making it easier for dirt to accumulate.

[0026] In other embodiments, the sidewalls of the water tank 1 and the wall 22 of the mounting hole 21 may be curved walls rather than flat walls.

[0027] In a non-preferred embodiment, the reinforcing plate 13 and / or MS adhesive 33 and / or notch 4 and / or support 32 may be omitted.

[0028] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Any non-substantial changes or substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model will still fall within the scope of patent protection.
