[0010] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the gripping part and the top plate are an integral structure.

[0011] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the top plate is made of stainless steel and the bottom cover is made of plastic.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the lower cover is provided with a second groove with an upward opening, and the top plate closes the opening of the second groove to define the first cavity.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first tank body has a rounded corner between its side wall and bottom wall.

[0014] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a water tank includes a water tank using a drain plug as described above.

[0015] The sink according to the present utility model embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects: by using the above-mentioned drain plug, the bottom of the sink is not raised, which makes it convenient to place objects such as basins and to clean them. At the same time, it is also convenient to remove the drain plug without affecting the user's normal use.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3According to a first aspect of the present invention, a drain plug includes a cover body 100 and a sealing member 200. The top surface of the cover body 100 is provided with a first groove 110, and the bottom wall of the first groove 110 is provided with a protruding gripping part 120. The top surface of the gripping part 120 is on the same plane as the top surface of the cover body 100. The sealing member 200 is provided on the cover body 100 and is used to seal with the drain outlet. The side wall of the gripping part 120 is provided with a recessed part 121. When the cover 100 is fitted with the drain outlet, the seal 200 can seal the surface. The top surface of the cover 100 and the top surface of the grip 120 are on the same plane, so that there are no protrusions on the upper surface of the cover 100. This makes the bottom of the sink relatively flat, which is convenient for placing objects for washing. When it is necessary to open the sink, the user can insert their fingers into the first sink body 110 and grasp the recess 121 on the side wall of the grip 120. The recess 121 allows the user to exert force to pull out the cover 100, making it easy to take out the cover while keeping it as flat as possible.

[0028] Specifically, the grip portion 120 can be located in the middle of the first groove 110, and the side wall of the grip portion 120 can be provided with an inwardly recessed portion 121. The recessed portion 121 can form a part that allows the user to apply force, so that the user can easily open the cover 100. Therefore, the depth of the first groove 110 can be set to be smaller to reduce the accumulation of dirt. The upper surfaces of the grip portion 120 and the cover 100 are on the same plane. When the user uses the sink, some basin-shaped objects can be placed flat at the bottom of the sink without being blocked by the cover 100, which makes it convenient for the user to use.

[0029] It is understandable that the shape of the gripping part 120 is not specifically limited, as long as it is located within the first groove 110.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the grip portion 120 is elongated and extends to and connects to the two side walls of the first groove 110, thus dividing the first groove 110 into a first clearance groove 111 and a second clearance groove 112. Specifically, the elongated grip portion 120 can expand the gripping range, further facilitating the user's grip, and the grip portion 120 can extend to the two inner side walls of the first groove 110, thereby connecting with the edge of the cover 100, so that the top of the cover 100 can form a single, flat surface. The first clearance groove 111 and the second clearance groove 112 allow the user's fingers to insert and operate, while also reducing the volume of the groove and reducing water accumulation.

[0031] It is conceivable that the recessed portion 121 could be replaced with a textured surface that enhances friction, making it easier for the user to grip.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments of this utility model, recesses 121 are provided on both sides of the grip 120, and the recesses 121 are respectively located in the first relief groove 111 and the second relief groove 112. Specifically, the user can pinch the two sides of the elongated grip 120, and the recesses 121 can be evenly provided on the two side walls, so that the user's fingers can be inserted into the recesses 121, making it easier to apply force. The first relief groove 111 and the second relief groove 112 cooperate with the recesses 121 so that the user's fingers can penetrate deep into the recesses 121 for operation, making it convenient to use.

[0033] It is understood that multiple recesses 121 can be provided and can be provided at intervals on the side wall of the grip portion 120.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the recessed portion 121 extends along the side wall of the grip portion 120 and is recessed inward. Specifically, the recessed portion 121 can cover the entire side wall of the elongated grip portion 120. The specific structure of the inward recess is not limited here. Through the above structure, the operable range can be expanded, making it easier for the user to pick up the grip.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the cover 100 includes a top plate 130 and a lower cover 140. The top plate 130 is disposed on the top of the lower cover 140, the first groove 110 and the gripping part 120 are disposed on the top plate 130, and the sealing member 200 is disposed on the lower cover 140. Specifically, the first groove 110 and the gripping part 120 can be machined on the top plate 130 before being assembled with the lower cover 140, which facilitates manufacturing. The sealing member 200 can be set as a sealing ring and can be disposed in the circumference of the lower cover 140.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, the gripping part 120 and the top plate 130 are integral structures. Specifically, the top plate 130 can be integrally stamped to form the first groove 110 and the gripping part 120, which can improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0037] Understandably, the gripping part 120 can also be welded to the top plate 130, or integrally cast by the top plate 130.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the top plate 130 is made of stainless steel, and the bottom cover 140 is made of plastic. Specifically, the top plate 130 can be made of stainless steel to meet the user's cleaning needs, while the bottom cover 140 is made of plastic, which is low in cost and has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to seal properly with the drain outlet.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments of this utility model, the lower cover 140 is provided with a second groove 141 with its opening facing upwards, and the top plate 130 closes the opening of the second groove 141 to define a first cavity 150. Specifically, the lower cover 140 can be injection molded into the second groove 141 so that the lower cover 140 can deform inwards, and the top plate 130 can be snapped onto the top of the lower cover 140 by a folded edge and close the opening at the top of the lower cover 140 to form a first cavity 150. When the cover 100 blocks the drain, the sealing member 200 is under force, and the first cavity 150 allows the lower cover 140 to have a certain compression range, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, a rounded corner is provided between the side wall and the bottom wall of the first tank 110. Specifically, the rounded corner makes it less likely for dirt to accumulate in the first tank 110 and facilitates cleaning by the user.

[0041] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a water tank includes a water tank using the aforementioned drain plug. By using the aforementioned drain plug, the bottom of the water tank is free of protrusions, making it convenient to place basins or other objects, and facilitating cleaning. It also allows for easy removal of the drain plug without affecting normal user operation.
