Detailed Implementation
[0026] With the diversification of kitchen knives, the storage of knives and cutting boards has become a pain point for users. Users typically store clean knives and cutting boards on top of the sink for easy access. However, integrated sinks often lack adequate storage space above the sink for cutting boards and knives, requiring some users to purchase a separate cutting board or knife rack, resulting in a cluttered and untidy kitchen countertop. Some integrated sinks have built-in storage boxes for knives and cutting boards on the countertop. These boxes are connected to a drain pipe for timely drainage. Alternatively, the boxes can be removed and the water manually emptied. However, in practice, damp kitchen tools placed in these boxes remain in a moist environment, increasing the risk of bacterial growth. Furthermore, these boxes only drain water; they cannot clean the water stains on the inner walls, and the enclosed environment contributes to poor hygiene inside. Especially when storing cutting boards, since most cutting boards are made of wood and are difficult to dry, placing them directly into storage boxes after washing can cause them to mold and deteriorate, leading to health problems. Furthermore, some knives, due to the nature of their material, can also rust if stored in humid environments for extended periods.
[0027] This application proposes a storage component 100 for an integrated sink, including a storage module 10 and a drying module 20. The storage module 10 includes a first storage cavity 110 and a storage chamber, which can separately store different types of kitchen tools or kitchen tools of different materials. It can also dry the stored tools after cleaning, which can improve the cleaning effect of kitchen tools, help remove bacteria and prevent odors, and extend the service life of kitchen tools.
[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0029] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2According to an embodiment of the present invention, a storage component 100 for an integrated sink includes a storage module 10 and a drying module 20. Specifically, the storage module 10 has a first storage cavity 110 and a second storage cavity 120 arranged separately. Both the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120 can be used for storage, which can increase the storage space of the storage component 100 and enable the separate storage of different items or tools, thereby improving the storage effect. Further, the drying module 20 is disposed between the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120 and connects the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120, so that the drying module 20 can be close to the first storage cavity 110 to dry the first storage cavity 110, and the drying module 20 can also be close to the second storage cavity 120 to dry the second storage cavity 120, which is beneficial to improving the storage effect and simplifying the structure, thereby improving the structural compactness. In addition, the drying module 20 located between the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120 can simultaneously dry the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120, which helps to improve drying efficiency.
[0030] According to the present invention, the storage component 100 for an integrated sink, by setting a first storage cavity 110 and a second storage cavity 120 arranged separately, can realize the separate storage of kitchen tools, which is conducive to improving the storage effect and appropriately increasing the storage space. In addition, the drying module 20 is set between the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120, which facilitates the drying operation of the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120, and avoids the growth of bacteria due to moisture after the kitchen tools are stored, thereby improving the storage effect of the storage component 100.
[0031] Specifically, the storage component 100 can be set above the sink 200. After washing kitchen tools in the sink 200, users can directly put the tools into the storage cavity. The cleaned tools can be dried in the storage cavity and then stored there. This improves cleanliness and facilitates storage, making good use of the space above the sink 200 and improving the overall tidiness of the kitchen.
[0032] Combination Figure 3In some embodiments of this utility model, the drying module 20 includes a fan 21 and a diversion device 22. The diversion device 22 includes a first flow channel 210 and a second flow channel 220. The first flow channel 210 connects the fan 21 and the first receiving cavity 110, and the second flow channel 220 connects the fan 21 and the second receiving cavity 120. Specifically, the diversion device 22 can be used to connect the receiving cavity and the fan 21, so that the airflow can be diverted by the diversion device 22 and enter the first receiving cavity 110 and the second receiving cavity 120 respectively. The first flow channel 210 connects the fan 21 and the first receiving cavity 110, and can guide the airflow generated by the fan 21 into the first receiving cavity 110. The second flow channel 220 connects the fan 21 and the second receiving cavity 120, and can guide the airflow generated by the fan 21 into the second receiving cavity 120. In this way, the air outlet of the fan 21 can flow into the first flow channel 210 and the second flow channel 220 at the same time, which can realize the simultaneous drying of the first receiving cavity 110 and the second receiving cavity 120, which is beneficial to improve drying efficiency and shorten drying time.
[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120 are distributed along a first direction, and the fan 21 is disposed between the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120. This fully utilizes the space between the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120, and makes full use of the space in the first direction, thereby reducing the size of the storage assembly 100 in other directions and improving the structural compactness of the storage assembly 100. Furthermore, the first flow channel 210 is designed to gradually slope from the outlet of the fan 21 toward the first storage cavity 110 to guide airflow into the first storage cavity 110, thereby improving the drying effect on the first storage cavity 110; the second flow channel 220 is designed to gradually slope from the outlet of the fan 21 toward the second storage cavity 120 to guide airflow into the second storage cavity 120, thereby improving the drying effect on the second storage cavity 120, and also helping to reduce energy loss and improve the working efficiency of the drying module 20.
[0034] For example, the integrated sink 1000 generally has a rectangular or square sink 200. The first direction can be the extension direction of the length of the sink 200. In this way, the storage component 100 arranged along the first direction can make full use of the space in the length direction of the sink 200, thereby reducing the size of the storage component 100 in the thickness direction of the sink 200 to improve the structural compactness.
[0035] Optionally, combined Figure 1 The first direction can be the left-right direction or the length direction of the integrated water tank 1000.
[0036] Combination Figure 4In some other embodiments of this utility model, the first receiving cavity 110 and the second receiving cavity 120 are distributed along a first direction, and the fan 21 is disposed between the first receiving cavity 110 and the second receiving cavity 120, with the outlet of the fan 21 facing downwards. The first air inlet 101 of the first receiving cavity 110 and the second air inlet 102 of the second receiving cavity 120 are disposed below the outlet of the fan 21. Thus, the air outlet of the fan 21 can directly guide the airflow to the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 102, which helps to reduce the resistance during airflow and reduce the eddy effect, so that the airflow can enter the receiving cavity more smoothly from the air inlet.
[0037] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the diversion device 22 includes a first guide plate 221 and a second guide plate 222. One end of the first guide plate 221 is located at the middle position along the first direction at the outlet of the fan 21, and the first guide plate 221 is inclined towards the first receiving cavity 110 from top to bottom. One end of the second guide plate 222 is located at the middle position along the first direction at the outlet of the fan 21, and the second guide plate 222 is inclined towards the second receiving cavity 120 from top to bottom. Thus, the airflow at the outlet of the fan 21 can be guided more evenly by the first guide plate 221 and the second guide plate 222 to the first receiving cavity 110 and the second receiving cavity 120, which helps to reduce the resistance during airflow and reduce the vortex effect, so that the airflow can enter the receiving cavity more smoothly from the air inlet, thereby improving the air delivery effect of the fan 21 to the first receiving cavity 110 and the second receiving cavity 120.
[0038] Furthermore, the diversion device 22 includes a third guide plate 223 and a fourth guide plate 224. One end of the third guide plate is located at one side edge of the outlet of the fan 21, and the third guide plate 223 is inclined towards the first receiving cavity 110 from bottom to top. One end of the fourth guide plate is located at the other side edge of the outlet of the fan 21, and the fourth guide plate 224 is inclined towards the second receiving cavity 120 from bottom to top. The first guide plate 221 and the third guide plate 223 form a first flow channel 210 leading to the first receiving cavity 110, and the second guide plate 222 and the fourth guide plate 224 form a second flow channel 220 leading to the second receiving cavity 120. Since the third guide plate 223 and the second guide plate 222 are configured to gradually extend towards the receiving cavity from bottom to top, the size of the flow channel outlet can be gradually increased in the direction away from the fan 21 outlet, thereby increasing the air intake at the air inlet of the receiving cavity, improving the air intake effect, and thus improving drying efficiency. Therefore, the first flow channel 210 and the second flow channel 220 can be configured such that the flow area of the flow channel from the air inlet to the air outlet gradually increases, or the flow channels of the first flow channel 210 and the second flow channel 220 gradually expand in the direction away from the fan 21 outlet (see...). Figure 4This is done to improve air intake efficiency and reduce air resistance when airflow enters the receiving cavity from the flow channel.
[0039] Combination Figure 4 Furthermore, the drying module 20 also includes a heating unit 23, which is located at the inlet, inside, or outlet of the fan 21. Specifically, the heat from the heating unit 23 can heat the surrounding air, allowing the drying module 20 to deliver hot air into the receiving cavity. This accelerates moisture evaporation and improves drying efficiency. Additionally, the high temperature inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms, thereby improving the hygiene of kitchen tools during and after the drying process. More specifically, the heating unit 23 can be located at the inlet of the fan 21 to heat the air entering the fan 21, allowing the fan 21 to directly blow out hot air. Alternatively, the heating unit 23 can be located inside the fan 21, allowing the fan 21 to directly blow out hot air. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the heating unit 23 is located at the outlet of the fan 21. The airflow blown out by the fan 21 is first heated by the heating unit 23, and then enters the hot air into the first flow channel 210 and the second flow channel 220, and then enters the first receiving cavity 110 and the second receiving cavity 120.
[0040] Optionally, the drying module 20 may include a heating channel 230, with a heating unit 23 disposed within the heating channel 230. A heat insulation component may be installed within the heating channel 230 to prevent the heating unit 23 from overheating and affecting other components. Specifically, one end of the heating channel 230 may be connected to the outlet of the fan 21, and the other end may be connected to the inlet of the first channel 210 and the second channel 220. Thus, the airflow blown from the fan 21 can be heated within the heating channel 230, and the hot air from the heating channel 230 is then diverted by the diversion device 22 before entering the first receiving cavity 110 and the second receiving cavity 120.
[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the drying module 20 further includes a temperature controller 24, which is connected to the heating unit 23. The temperature controller 24 plays the role of overheat protection, which can improve the safety of the device during use and prevent safety problems caused by the inability to dissipate heat in time after the fan 21 fails.
[0042] In other embodiments of this utility model, combined with Figure 3The drying module 20 also includes a first heating unit 231, which is located at the inlet, inside, or outlet of the first flow channel 210. In some embodiments of this invention, the drying module 20 further includes a second heating unit 232, which is located at the inlet, inside, or outlet of the second flow channel 220. That is, the heating unit 23 can be located in the diversion device 22, heating the airflow during diversion, and the heated airflow can be directly sent into the receiving cavity, reducing heat loss. Specifically, two heating units 23 can be provided, namely a first heating unit 231 and a second heating unit 232. The first heating unit 231 can be located inside the first flow channel 210, for example, at the inlet of the first flow channel 210, heating the airflow when it enters the first flow channel 210. Alternatively, the heating may occur within the first flow channel 210, i.e., during the flow of air through the first flow channel 210; the second heating unit 232 may be located within the second flow channel 220, for example, at the inlet of the second flow channel 220, to heat the airflow as it enters the second flow channel 220. Alternatively, the heating may occur within the second flow channel 220, i.e., during the flow of air through the second flow channel 220.
[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the storage assembly 100 has a first heating unit 231 and a second heating unit 232 located at the outlet of the first flow channel 210 and the outlet of the second flow channel 220, respectively. This allows airflow to enter the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120 after being heated by the heating units 23, reducing heat loss. Furthermore, the location of the first heating unit 231 and the second heating unit 232 at the flow channel outlets allows for easy inspection of the heating unit 23 by separating the air inlet of the storage cavity from the flow channel outlet in case of problems, facilitating maintenance.
[0044] Specifically, by setting up a first heating unit 231 and a second heating unit 232 respectively, the drying temperatures of the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120 can be controlled respectively. This allows for better protection of the items inside the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120 while achieving both cleaning and drying effects. For example, the first storage cavity 110 can be used to store knives, and the second storage cavity 120 can be used to store cutting boards. However, knives and cutting boards are made of different materials, and therefore have different temperature tolerances. Knives are usually made of metal, while cutting boards are usually made of wood or synthetic materials. The high-temperature resistance of cutting boards is lower than that of knives. Therefore, if the temperature used to dry knives is used to dry a cutting board, prolonged heating may damage the cutting board. Therefore, if the first storage cavity 110 is used to store kitchen tools that are resistant to high temperatures, such as knives, and the second storage cavity 120 is used to store kitchen tools that are less resistant to high temperatures, such as cutting boards, the drying temperature of the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 120 can be controlled separately during drying by selecting heating units 23 with different heating temperatures, thereby better protecting the stored items.
[0045] Optionally, both the first heating unit 231 and the second heating unit 232 can be equipped with a thermostat 24. The thermostat 24 is connected to the heating unit 23 and plays the role of overheat protection, which can improve the safety of the device during use and prevent safety problems caused by the inability to dissipate heat in time after the fan 21 fails.
[0046] More specifically, the storage assembly 100 may be equipped with a first temperature controller and a second temperature controller. The first temperature controller is connected to the first heating unit 231, and the second temperature controller is connected to the second heating unit 232, thereby enabling overheat protection for the two heating units 23 respectively. In conjunction with the foregoing, when different drying temperatures are required for the two storage cavities, this can also be achieved by setting temperature controllers with different protection temperatures. For example, the overheat protection temperature of the second temperature controller could be the same as the overheat protection temperature of the first temperature controller. During heating, when the temperature of the second heating unit 232 rises to a preset value, the second temperature controller prevents the second heating unit 232 from continuing to heat up, thereby controlling the temperature within the second storage cavity 120 within a predetermined range.
[0047] Optionally, the heating unit 23 may be a PTC heating element.
[0048] For example, when the first storage chamber 110 is used to store knives, the maximum drying temperature can be set between 70° and 80°, and when the second storage chamber 120 is used to store cutting boards, the maximum drying temperature can be set between 60° and 65°.
[0049] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of this utility model, the storage module 10 includes a first cover plate 111 sealing the top of the first storage cavity 110. Since knives come in various sizes, multiple limiting grooves can be constructed on the first cover plate 111. These multiple limiting grooves connect to the first storage cavity 110. The multiple limiting grooves have different sizes and can include shapes suitable for limiting knives of different sizes, or shapes suitable for limiting metal tableware. In application, inserting a knife or other tableware into the first storage cavity 110 through the limiting grooves allows the main body of the knife or tableware to extend into the storage cavity and be relatively fixed. The handles or ends of the knife or tableware can protrude from the first storage cavity 110, making it convenient for the user to pick them up.
[0050] According to the storage component 100 of this utility model embodiment, combined with Figure 2 The first cover plate 111 may include a first limiting groove 103, a second limiting groove 104, and a third limiting groove 105. The first limiting groove 103 and the second limiting groove 104 are elongated strips, and two limiting grooves 103 and 104 are provided along the thickness direction of the storage assembly 100. The length of the first limiting groove 103 is greater than the length of the second limiting groove 104, allowing it to hold knives of different widths. In use, the knife can be inserted into the first storage cavity 110 along its length direction from either the first limiting groove 103 or the second limiting groove 104, depending on its width. The knife handle can be limited outside the first storage cavity 110 by the limiting groove. The third limiting groove 105 may be circular or elliptical, and can be used to hold metal cutlery such as knives, forks, and chopsticks, achieving both storage and drying of the cutlery.
[0051] The storage module 10 may include a second cover plate 122 that covers the second storage cavity 120. The second cover plate 122 forms a through groove 106 suitable for limiting the cutting board, which makes it easy for the user to put the cutting board in. The through groove 106 can also be set with multiple grooves of different sizes, which can be used to place cutting boards of different thicknesses. In actual application, it can be reasonably arranged according to the actual situation.
[0052] Optionally, the first cover plate 111 and the second cover plate 122 can be provided in various sizes, so that users can choose a suitable cover plate according to the shape of the types of kitchen utensils used in the home, thereby improving storage efficiency. For example, when the user uses a small cutting board, a second cover plate 122 that can hold two small cutting boards at the same time can be selected, or the second cover plate 122 can also be provided with a through groove 106 for placing tableware, such as wooden chopsticks. The setting of the limiting groove of the first cover plate 111 can also be selected according to the size and style of the knives actually used by the user, thereby improving storage efficiency, space utilization and kitchen tidiness.
[0053] Combination Figure 1In some embodiments of this utility model, the storage component 100 further includes a housing 30, and the storage module 10 and the drying module 20 are disposed inside the housing 30, which can improve the overall structural consistency and aesthetics.
[0054] Furthermore, the housing 30 can also accommodate a light 50, which is located on the top of the housing 30. The light 50 illuminates the sink 200, making it easier for the user to use the sink 200 and increasing the brightness of the light during use, so that the user can easily observe the items being cleaned. Specifically, part of the light 50 can be housed inside the housing 30, while part is exposed to illuminate the sink 200. The connecting wire of the light 50 can also be stored inside the housing 30.
[0055] The integrated sink 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a sink 200 and a storage component 100. The storage component 100 is disposed on the sink 200. Thus, the integrated sink 1000 can simultaneously have the functions of cleaning and storage, which helps to improve the functionality of the integrated sink 1000.
[0056] According to the integrated sink 1000 of this utility model embodiment, by setting a storage component 100 above the sink 200, the functions of washing and storage can be realized at the same time. Moreover, the storage area and the washing area are set separately, which can facilitate storage after washing and avoid secondary pollution of the stored items during the washing process.
[0057] The integrated sink 1000 includes a faucet 40, which is located above the storage component 100 and the sink 200. One end of the faucet 40 is connected to the housing 30 of the storage component 100 and extends a certain distance toward the sink 200, so that the water from the faucet 40 can fall into the middle area of the sink 200 for easy cleaning by the user.
[0058] The integrated sink 1000 may also include a dishwasher 300, which is located below the sink 200. This allows for the use of the space below the sink 200, improving space utilization and enhancing the integration of kitchen appliances.
[0059] Optionally, a cabinet for storage or a tableware sterilizer can also be installed below the sink 200 to improve the functionality and integration of the integrated sink 1000.
