Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen equipment technology, specifically to an integrated sink. Background Technology

[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 edge of the drain outlet is connected to a drain pipe, the bottom edge of the drain pipe bends inward to form a flange, and the garbage disposal unit has a grinding cover with a top opening, the top edge of the grinding cover is connected to the bottom of the flange.

[0007] To prevent water leakage, a sealing ring is sandwiched between the top surface of the top edge of the grinding cover and the bottom surface of the flange.

[0008] To achieve the connection between the top edge of the grinding cover and the flange, at least two mounting holes are provided on the flange at circumferential intervals, and at least two blind mounting holes corresponding to the mounting holes are provided on the top surface of the top edge of the grinding cover. The top edge of the grinding cover and the flange are connected to each other through the blind mounting holes and the mounting holes and fixed by fasteners.

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

[0010] To facilitate the placement and removal of the splash guard, the splash guard is placed on top of the flange.

[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 panel rests on top of the flange.

[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: by setting an inwardly extending flange at the bottom edge of the drain pipe and connecting the top edge of the grinding cover to the underside of the flange, the garbage disposer can be installed simply and quickly without complicated installation components.

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 tank 1 has a drain outlet 11 on its bottom wall. The edge of the drain outlet 11 bends downward to form a drain pipe 12. The edge of the bottom end of the drain pipe 12 bends inward to form a flange 121. The flange 121 has a plurality of mounting holes 1211 arranged at intervals along its circumference.

[0028] The garbage disposal unit 2 is located below the tank 1 and includes a grinding cover 21 with a top opening and a grinding element 22 installed inside the grinding cover 21. Specifically, the edge of the top edge of the grinding cover 21 is located below the flange 121, and a sealing ring 23 is sandwiched between the top surface of the edge of the grinding cover 21 and the bottom surface of the flange 121; a plurality of blind mounting holes 211 corresponding to the mounting holes 1211 are opened on the top surface of the edge of the grinding cover 21, and the edge of the top edge of the grinding cover 21 and the flange 121 are connected to each other through the blind mounting holes 211 and the mounting holes 1211 and fixed by fasteners.

[0029] The splash guard 3 is installed inside the drain pipe 12 and rests above the flange 121. In this embodiment, the splash guard 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 flange 121. The base plate 31 has a lower drain hole 311 in 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 lower drain hole 311. The bottom of the base plate 31 has four protrusions 313 arranged circumferentially around 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 clamp the sealing ring 23 between the edge of the top of the grinding cover 21 and the flange 121 of the tank 1, then align the blind mounting hole 211 on the top edge of the grinding cover 21 with the mounting hole 1211 of the flange 121, and finally connect the fasteners by passing them through the blind mounting hole 211 and the mounting hole 1211 in sequence, thus achieving a simple and quick installation of the garbage disposal unit.
