[0002] Current integrated sinks combine multiple products that are spatially or functionally related to the sink, including washing machines, water purifiers, garbage disposers, and cup washers.

[0003] Commercially available garbage disposers are mounted on a sink using a mounting assembly. For example, Chinese patent application number CN202221944465.9, entitled "A Feeding Device for a Garbage Disposer," discloses a feeding device for a garbage disposer, which includes a garbage disposer located at the bottom of a sink, with a mounting hole at the bottom of the sink, and a feeding port at the top of the garbage disposer mounted on the mounting hole via a mounting assembly.

[0004] However, existing mounting components contain many parts, are expensive, and are complex to install. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated sink that allows for simple and quick installation of a garbage disposal unit without the need for complex installation components, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an integrated water tank, including a tank body and a garbage disposal unit located below the tank body, characterized in that: the bottom wall of the tank body has a drain outlet, the garbage disposal unit has a grinding cover, the grinding cover includes an upper cover body and a lower cover body that are connected to each other, the upper cover body and the lower cover body together surround and form a grinding cavity with a top opening, the upper cover body and the tank body are integral parts, and the top opening of the grinding cavity is connected to the drain outlet.

[0007] In order to achieve the garbage shredding function, the grinding chamber is equipped with grinding elements.

[0008] To ensure that the waste is thoroughly pulverized, the grinding element is installed inside the lower cover.

[0009] To prevent garbage from splashing out of the drain when the garbage disposer is working, a splash guard is provided inside the upper cover.

[0010] To facilitate the placement and removal of the splash guard, the inner peripheral wall of the upper cover has an annular stepped surface, and the splash guard rests on the stepped surface.

[0011] In order to achieve the splash-proof function without affecting the discharge of sewage from the tank, the splash-proof cover includes:

[0012] The base plate has a drain hole in the middle; and

[0013] The side plate is connected to the edge of the base plate and together with the base plate, forms a groove with a top opening.

[0014] The bottom edge of the side plate rests on the stepped surface.

[0015] To facilitate the flow of sewage to the lower drain hole, the top surface of the base plate has at least a localized downward recess to form a guide channel, the bottom surface of which gradually decreases from the edge of the base plate toward the lower drain hole.

[0016] To achieve full flow guidance, the number of flow guide grooves is at least two, and they are arranged circumferentially at intervals around the outer periphery of the lower drain hole.

[0017] To prevent debris from splashing out of the lower drain hole as much as possible, the bottom of the base plate has at least two circumferentially spaced protrusions arranged around the outer periphery of the lower drain hole.

[0018] To facilitate the simultaneous formation of the guide groove and the convex bulge, the convex bulge corresponds to the guide groove, and the guide groove and the corresponding convex bulge are formed by pressing downward from the base plate.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: by setting the upper cover and the tank as an integral part, the upper cover, as part of the tank, together with the lower cover to form the grinding cover of the garbage disposal unit, during installation, it is only necessary to connect the lower cover to the bottom of the lower cover, and the garbage disposal unit can be installed simply and quickly without complicated installation components.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] In the specification and claims of this utility model, terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom," are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of this utility model. However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 The image shows a preferred embodiment of the integrated sink of this utility model. The integrated sink includes a sink body 1, a garbage disposal unit 2, and a splash guard 3.

[0027] The bottom wall of the tank 1 is provided with a drain outlet 11.

[0028] The garbage disposal unit 2 is located below the tank 1 and includes a grinding cover 21 and a grinding element 22. Specifically, the grinding cover 21 includes an upper cover 211 and a lower cover 212 that are connected vertically. The upper cover 211 and the lower cover 212 together surround a grinding cavity 210 with a top opening. In this embodiment, the upper cover 211 is integral with the tank 1, and the top opening of the grinding cavity 210 is connected to the drain outlet 11. The upper inner peripheral wall of the upper cover 211 has an annular stepped surface 2111. The grinding element 22 is disposed in the grinding cavity 210 and installed in the lower cover 212.

[0029] The splash shield 3 is disposed inside the upper cover 211 and rests above the stepped surface 2111. In this embodiment, the splash shield 3 includes a base plate 31 and a side plate 31 connected to the edge of the base plate 31. The side plate 32 and the base plate 31 together surround a groove 30 with a top opening. The bottom edge of the side plate 32 rests above the stepped surface 2111. The base plate 31 has a lower drain hole 311 at the middle position. The top surface of the base plate 31 is partially recessed to form a guide groove 312. The bottom surface of the guide groove 312 gradually decreases from the edge of the base plate 31 to the lower drain hole 311. There are four guide grooves 312, which are arranged circumferentially around the outer periphery of the lower drain hole 311. The bottom of the base plate 31 has four protrusions 313 arranged circumferentially around the outer periphery of the lower drain hole 311. The protrusions 313 correspond to the guide grooves 312. In this embodiment, the guide groove 312 and the corresponding protrusion 313 are formed by pressing downward from the bottom plate 31, which is simple to process.

[0030] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During installation, simply connect the lower cover 212 with the grinding component 22 installed below the upper cover 211 to achieve simple and quick installation of the garbage disposal unit; In this solution, the upper cover 211 and the tank 1 are an integral part, and the upper cover 211, as part of the tank 1, together with the lower cover 212, forms the grinding cover 21, which is simple to process.
