Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the problems existing in the existing related technologies. To this end, the present invention proposes a combined water tank.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A modular sink includes a sink body with an upper-opening cavity. The opening end of the cavity is provided with a support platform along its edge contour to support a cutting board or a filter basket. The cavity is provided with a plurality of first drain holes spaced apart along the same horizontal axis below the support platform. A limiting component can be detachably inserted into one of the first drain holes.

[0006] The limiting component includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector is movably inserted into the first drain hole and has an upper-opening cavity recessed on its upper side. The second connector is rotatably disposed in the cavity and can be rotatably housed in the cavity or rotatably protrude outward from the outside of the cavity.

[0007] In one embodiment, a torsion spring is provided at the rotatable connection between the second connector and the cavity, so that the second connector is initially kept in an active state that protrudes out of the cavity.

[0008] In one embodiment, a connecting pipe is provided in the first drain hole, the connecting pipe has openings at both ends, the first connector is inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting pipe and can reciprocate along the axial direction of the connecting pipe, and a limiting protrusion is provided on the inner side of the connecting pipe in the cavity, the limiting protrusion abuts against the cavity to realize the guiding movement of the first connector relative to the connecting pipe.

[0009] In one embodiment, there are several connecting pipes, and the several connecting pipes are connected to the first drain hole one by one by threaded connection.

[0010] In one embodiment, there are several limiting components, and the several limiting components are configured to correspond one-to-one with several first drainage holes.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first connector has openings through both ends that communicate with the cavity, and the second connector has a second drain hole through one end. When the second connector is rotated and stored in the cavity, the second drain hole and the opening are arranged axially in the same center.

[0012] In one embodiment, the water tank body has a drainage cavity on one side, and a drainage pipe connected to the inner cavity is provided at the lower end of the drainage cavity. The drainage cavity and the tank cavity are interconnected through a plurality of first drainage holes.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The cutting board / filter basket of this utility model is placed on a support platform, with one side of the cutting board / filter basket positioned at a right angle against the side wall of the support platform to achieve pre-positioning of the cutting board / filter basket. Then, by setting a detachable limiting component in the first drain hole, a dynamic limiting mechanism is formed by utilizing the rotational characteristics of the second connecting member. This allows the second connecting member in the limiting component to rotate and protrude outward to abut against one side of the cutting board / filter basket when the cutting board / filter basket is placed on the support platform, thereby limiting the cutting board / filter basket.

[0015] Furthermore, when the limiting component is in use, the first connector can be partially pulled out from the first drain hole. At this time, the second connector in the limiting component can rotate so that it protrudes out of the cavity of the first connector. When the limiting component is not in use, the second connector can rotate and be stored in the cavity of the first connector. By pressing the first connector, it can be fully inserted into the first drain hole, thereby limiting the second connector.

[0016] Furthermore, users can selectively use the limiting component in conjunction with different first drain holes according to the width of different cutting boards / filter baskets to adjust the position of the limiting component. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following detailed description provides various embodiments or examples for implementing this utility model. Of course, these are merely embodiments or examples and are not intended to be limiting. Additionally, repeated reference numerals, such as repeated numbers and / or letters, may be used in different embodiments. These repetitions are for the purpose of simple and clear description of this utility model and do not represent a specific relationship between the different embodiments and / or structures discussed.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated modular sink includes a sink body 1, which has an open-top cavity 2. The cavity 2 has a support platform 61 along its edge contour that can support a cutting board or filter basket. Several first drain holes 3 are spaced apart along the same horizontal axis below the support platform 61 within the cavity 2. A limiting component can be detachably inserted into one of the first drain holes 3. The limiting component includes a first connector 4 and a second connector 5. The first connector 4 is movably inserted into the first drain hole 3, and has an open-top cavity 6 recessed on its upper side. The second connector 5 is rotatably disposed within the cavity 6, and can be rotatably housed within the cavity 6 or rotatably protrude outwards from the outside of the cavity 6.

[0024] Specifically, the cutting board / filter basket is placed on the support platform, with one side of the cutting board / filter basket positioned at a right angle against the side wall of the support platform to achieve pre-positioning of the cutting board / filter basket. A detachable limiting component is then installed within the first drain hole, utilizing the rotational characteristics of the second connector to form a dynamic limiting mechanism. This allows the second connector in the limiting component to rotate and protrude outwards to abut against one side of the cutting board / filter basket when the cutting board / filter basket is placed on the support platform, thus limiting its position. Furthermore, when the limiting component is in use, the first connector can be partially pulled out of the first drain hole, at which point the second connector in the limiting component can rotate to protrude outwards from the cavity of the first connector. When the limiting component is not in use, the second connector can rotate and be stored within the cavity of the first connector, and by pressing the first connector, it can be fully inserted into the first drain hole, thereby limiting the second connector.

[0025] Furthermore, users can selectively use the limiting component in conjunction with different first drain holes according to the width of different cutting boards / filter baskets to adjust the position of the limiting component.

[0026] Furthermore, a torsion spring is provided at the rotatable connection between the second connecting member 5 and the cavity 6. The torsion spring keeps the second connecting member 5 initially in a convex position outside the cavity 6. Then, when the second connecting member moves away from the first drain hole along with the first connecting member, the second connecting member can automatically flip and convex outside the first connecting member for limiting by the torsion spring.

[0027] Furthermore, a connecting pipe 7 is provided inside the first drain hole 3. The connecting pipe 7 has openings at both ends. The first connecting member 4 is inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting pipe 7 and can reciprocate along the axial direction of the connecting pipe 7. A limiting protrusion 8 is provided on the inner side of the connecting pipe 7 within the cavity 6. The limiting protrusion 8 abuts against the cavity 6 to achieve the guiding movement of the first connecting member 4 relative to the connecting pipe 7.

[0028] Furthermore, there are multiple connecting pipes 7, and each of the multiple connecting pipes 7 is connected to the first drain hole 3 via a threaded connection. This threaded connection allows for the detachable maintenance and installation of the connecting pipes.

[0029] Furthermore, the limiting components are multiple, and each limiting component corresponds to one of the first drain holes 3. Thus, by providing multiple limiting components, the user can directly select one.

[0030] Furthermore, the first connector 4 has openings 9 through both ends that communicate with the cavity 6, and the second connector 5 has a second drain hole 10 through one end. When the second connector 5 is rotated and housed in the cavity 6, the second drain hole 10 and the openings 9 are axially aligned with the center. Specifically, an integrated design of the drain hole and the limiting component is adopted, achieving dual functions through the connecting pipe: in the non-use state, the second connector is housed in the cavity of the first connector, and the drainage channel is kept unobstructed through the opening of the first connector and the second drain hole of the second connector; thus, whether the limiting component is used or not, the use of the first drain hole will not be affected, maintaining the overflow prevention and drainage of the water tank.

[0031] Furthermore, the water tank body 1 has a drainage cavity 11 on one side, and a drainage pipe 12 connected to the lower end of the drainage cavity 11 is provided. The drainage cavity 11 and the tank cavity 2 are interconnected through a plurality of first drainage holes 3. The drainage pipe can then be connected to an external drain outlet via a flexible hose to achieve centralized external drainage from the plurality of first drainage holes.
