Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sink installation, and more particularly to a sink installation component and a cabinet with a sink. Background Technology

[0002] A kitchen sink is an essential appliance in any home, and they are made from various materials, such as stainless steel, resin, or granite. Stainless steel sinks, in particular, offer advantages such as antibacterial properties, environmental friendliness, and long lifespan. However, they are also prone to scratches during use, especially brushed stainless steel sinks. Examples of such scratches include Chinese utility model patents ZL202023304604.5 (authorization announcement number CN214614391U) entitled "A Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink" and ZL202220240112.4 (authorization announcement number CN216880724U) entitled "A Washing Tank."

[0003] Furthermore, currently, sinks are generally installed undermount, using a fixed connection method, which is not only cumbersome to install, but also inconvenient to disassemble when maintenance or replacement is needed. For example, Chinese utility model patent ZL202222893364.X (authorization announcement number CN218713642U) discloses an integrated installation structure for undermount sinks, including a cabinet, on which a support member is fixedly installed by fasteners. The support member has holes that match the sink body, and the top edge of the sink has a protruding groove edge that engages with the support member. The top of the sink is fixedly connected to the countertop. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The first technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sink installation component that is easy to install, in contrast to the prior art.

[0005] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a water tank mounting component that is easy to install and stable in the prior art.

[0006] The third technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a water tank installation component that is easy to disassemble, in contrast to the prior art.

[0007] The fourth technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sink installation component that is easy to disassemble and can avoid damage to the sink during disassembly, in contrast to the prior art.

[0008] The fifth technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cabinet with a sink that uses the above-mentioned sink mounting components, in contrast to the prior art.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a sink mounting component for mounting a sink on a cabinet, wherein the top panel of the cabinet has an mounting opening for mounting the sink, characterized in that the mounting openings are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the sink, and each of the sink mounting components includes:

[0010] The first mounting bracket is used to fix it to the outer side of the corresponding side of the sink;

[0011] The second mounting bracket is used to fix the side panel on the corresponding side of the cabinet and is located below the first mounting bracket mentioned above;

[0012] The mounting component is vertically arranged, with its lower end movable vertically up and down on the second mounting bracket, while its upper end can move upward and detachably connect to the first mounting bracket to support the first mounting bracket and lift the sink, or move downward and detach from the first mounting bracket. In its initial state, it is located at the lower part of its vertical travel so that the sink can be horizontally inserted between the cabinet top panel and the second mounting bracket.

[0013] A locking element is used to lock the aforementioned mounting element onto the aforementioned second mounting bracket when the installation height of the sink is adjusted to the correct position.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting component is a cylindrical component, and both the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket are plate components. The first mounting bracket includes a horizontally extending first horizontal plate, and the second mounting bracket includes a horizontally extending second horizontal plate. The second horizontal plate is vertically opposite to the first horizontal plate. The bottom surface of the first horizontal plate is recessed to form a positioning groove that matches and accommodates the upper end of the mounting component. The second horizontal plate has mounting holes for the mounting component to pass through and move vertically. This simplifies the structure of the mounting component, the first mounting bracket, and the second mounting bracket. The positioning groove on the first horizontal plate allows for a detachable connection between the upper end of the mounting component and the first mounting bracket, while the mounting holes on the second horizontal plate allow for vertical movement of the mounting component on the second mounting bracket.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting component is an adjusting bolt, which passes through the mounting hole of the second horizontal plate from bottom to top. The locking component is a fixing nut that matches the adjusting bolt. When the installation height of the water tank is adjusted to the correct position, the locking component is threadedly connected to the rod of the mounting component, locking the mounting component onto the second horizontal plate. This simplifies the structure of the mounting component and effectively ensures the locking component securely engages with the mounting component. Moreover, the mounting component and locking component of this invention can be achieved using existing adjusting bolts and fixing nuts of appropriate size (or by appropriately modifying existing adjusting bolts and fixing nuts), and the locking component can more securely lock the mounting component at the desired height.

[0016] Furthermore, the first horizontal plate is located on one side of the sink, and one side edge of the first horizontal plate abuts against the corresponding side panel of the cabinet, thereby limiting the left and right movement of the sink and preventing it from shifting in the left or right direction during installation or use after installation; alternatively, the first horizontal plate is located below the bottom wall of the sink. This eliminates the need to adjust the size of the first horizontal plate for different sink sizes, improving the versatility of the first mounting bracket and thus reducing the installation cost of the sink.

[0017] Furthermore, the first mounting bracket also includes a vertically extending first vertical plate, one side of which is abutted and fixed to the outer side of the water tank, while the other side is fixed along the length direction to the corresponding side edge of the first horizontal plate. This ensures that the first mounting bracket is securely fixed to the water tank.

[0018] Furthermore, the first mounting bracket is a single, bent plate. This simplifies the structure of the first mounting bracket and ensures the robustness of its internal structure, thereby improving the stability of the sink installation.

[0019] Furthermore, the second mounting bracket also includes a vertically extending second vertical plate, one side of which is fixedly attached to the outer surface of the corresponding side panel of the cabinet, while the other side is fixed along the length direction to the side edge of the corresponding side of the second horizontal plate. This allows the second mounting bracket to be securely fixed to the cabinet.

[0020] Furthermore, the second mounting bracket is a single, bent plate. This simplifies the structure of the second mounting bracket and ensures the robustness of its internal structure, thereby improving the stability of the sink installation.

[0021] Furthermore, the sink has a preset installation height. When the mounting component supports the first mounting bracket to raise the sink to the preset installation height, an upper and lower annular gap is formed circumferentially between the edge of the mounting opening and the horizontal edge of the sink opening. A sealing adhesive layer is circumferentially disposed within this annular gap. After the sink rises to the preset installation height, the mounting component continues to support the first mounting bracket until the sealing adhesive layer is clamped between the horizontal edge of the sink opening and the edge of the mounting opening. The locking component then locks the mounting component in place. This design further ensures the stable installation of the sink and, through the sealing adhesive layer, guarantees the airtightness of the sink installation, preventing water from entering the cabinet through the gap between the sink opening and the mounting opening.

[0022] The technical solution adopted to further solve the fifth technical problem mentioned above is: a cabinet with a sink, characterized in that it uses the sink mounting components described above.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: Each water tank installation component of this utility model includes a first mounting frame, a second mounting frame, an installation component, and a locking component. The installation component is vertically arranged and can be moved up and down through the second mounting frame, with its upper end detachably connected to the first mounting frame to support the first mounting frame and raise the water tank. The locking component is used to lock the installation component onto the second mounting frame when the water tank is in the adjusted installation height.

[0024] In this initial state, each mounting component is located at its lower vertical position. The sink is then horizontally inserted between the top of the cabinet and the second mounting brackets on both sides, with the upper end of each mounting component detachably connected to the first mounting bracket on the corresponding side of the sink. Adjusting each mounting component causes it to move upwards relative to its corresponding second mounting bracket, thus raising the sink until the desired installation height is achieved. At this point, each mounting component is locked to its corresponding second mounting bracket by its locking mechanism, completing the sink installation. To disassemble the sink, simply unlock each mounting component and then move it vertically downwards. The upper end of each mounting component will then detach from its corresponding first mounting bracket, allowing the sink to be easily removed horizontally, thus achieving sink disassembly.

[0025] As can be seen from the above, in each sink installation component of this utility model, the first mounting frame is supported and held by the mounting member, and the sink is lifted by moving the mounting member upward. The mounting member is locked by the locking member to ensure the sink is securely installed. Simultaneously, the sink can be disassembled by unlocking and lowering the mounting member, making disassembly convenient and preventing damage to the sink during the disassembly process.

[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating direction are only for illustration 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. In addition, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0037] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a cabinet 1 with a sink includes a top panel 11, a left side panel 12, and a right side panel 13. The top panel 11 of the cabinet 1 has a mounting opening 111 for mounting the sink 2. Furthermore, it also includes sink mounting components 3, which are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the sink 2.

[0038] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned sink mounting components 3 includes a first mounting bracket 4, a second mounting bracket 5, a mounting element 6, and a locking element 7. The first mounting bracket 4 is used to fix the sink 2 to the outer side of the corresponding side, while the second mounting bracket 5 is used to fix the corresponding side panel of the cabinet 1 and is located below the first mounting bracket 4. The mounting element 6 is vertically arranged, with its lower end movable vertically on the second mounting bracket 5, and its upper end movable upwards to detachably connect with the first mounting bracket 4 to support the first mounting bracket 4 and raise the sink 2, or downwards to detach from the first mounting bracket 4. Initially, it is located at the lower end of its vertical travel, allowing the sink 2 to be horizontally inserted between the top panel 11 of the cabinet 1 and the second mounting bracket 5. The locking element 7 is used to lock the mounting element 6 onto the second mounting bracket 5 when the sink 2 is in the correct installation height.

[0039] Each sink mounting component 3 of this utility model includes a first mounting bracket 4, a second mounting bracket 5, a mounting element 6, and a locking element 7. The mounting element 6 is vertically arranged and can move up and down through the second mounting bracket 5. Its upper end is detachably connected to the first mounting bracket 4 to support the first mounting bracket 4 and raise the sink 2. The locking element 7 is used to lock the mounting element 6 onto the second mounting bracket 5 when the sink 2 is in the correct installation height. In the initial state, each mounting element 6 is located at its lower vertical travel position. The sink 2 is placed horizontally between the top plate 11 of the cabinet 1 and the two second mounting brackets 5 on both sides, with the upper ends of each mounting element 6 detachably connected to the first mounting bracket 4 on the corresponding side of the sink 2. Adjusting each mounting element 6 causes it to move upward relative to its corresponding second mounting bracket 5, thus moving the sink 2 upward until the installation height of the sink 2 is adjusted to the required height. At this point, each mounting element 6 is locked onto its corresponding second mounting bracket 5 by the locking element 7, and the sink 2 is installed. When disassembling the water tank 2, simply unlock each mounting piece 6, then move each mounting piece 6 vertically downwards. At this time, the upper end of each mounting piece 6 will detach from the corresponding first mounting bracket 4, and the water tank 2 can be easily removed horizontally, thus achieving the disassembly of the water tank 2.

[0040] As can be seen from the above, in each sink installation component 3 of this utility model, the first mounting bracket 4 is supported and held by the mounting member 6, and the sink 2 is lifted by moving the mounting member 6 upward. The mounting member 6 is locked by the locking member 7 to ensure the stable installation of the sink 2. At the same time, the sink 2 can be disassembled by unlocking the mounting member 6 and lowering it, which is convenient for disassembly and can avoid damage to the sink 2 during the disassembly process.

[0041] Since the structures of the water tank mounting components 3 on the left and right sides of the water tank 2 are the same in this embodiment, the structure of a single water tank 2 component will be further described below.

[0042] Specifically, the aforementioned mounting component 6 is a cylindrical component, while the first mounting bracket 4 and the second mounting bracket 5 are both plate components. The first mounting bracket 4 includes a horizontally extending first horizontal plate 41, and the second mounting bracket 5 includes a horizontally extending second horizontal plate 51, with the second horizontal plate 51 vertically opposite to the first horizontal plate 41. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the first horizontal plate 41 is recessed to form a positioning groove 411 that matches and allows the upper end of the mounting component 6 to be fitted into it (e.g., ...). Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the second horizontal plate 51 has mounting holes 511 for the mounting component 6 to pass through and move up and down. This simplifies the structure of the mounting component 6, the first mounting bracket 4, and the second mounting bracket 5. The positioning groove 411 on the first horizontal plate 41 enables a detachable connection between the upper end of the mounting component 6 and the first mounting bracket 4, while the mounting holes 511 on the second horizontal plate 51 enable the mounting component 6 to move up and down on the second mounting bracket 5.

[0043] Preferably, in this embodiment, the mounting member 6 is an adjusting bolt, which passes through the mounting hole 511 of the second horizontal plate 51 from bottom to top, and the locking member 7 is a fixing nut that matches the adjusting bolt. When the installation height of the water tank 2 is adjusted to the correct position, the locking member 7 is threadedly connected to the rod of the mounting member 6, locking the mounting member 6 onto the second horizontal plate 51. Figure 7 As shown, the mounting member 6 is locked in place by the upper and lower clamping of the head of the locking member 7 and the mounting member 6. This simplifies the structure of the mounting member 6 and effectively ensures that the locking member 7 locks the mounting member 6. Furthermore, the mounting member 6 and the locking member 7 in this invention can be realized using existing adjusting bolts and fixing nuts of appropriate size (or by appropriately modifying existing adjusting bolts and fixing nuts), and the locking member 7 can more securely lock the mounting member 6 at the required height.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the first horizontal plate 41 is located on one side of the sink 2, and one side edge of the first horizontal plate 41 abuts against the corresponding side panel of the cabinet 1, thereby limiting the sink 2 to the left and right, and preventing the sink 2 from shifting in the left and right direction during installation or during use after installation.

[0045] Furthermore, the aforementioned first mounting bracket 4 also includes a vertically extending first vertical plate 42. One side of the first vertical plate 42 is attached and fixed to the outer side of the aforementioned water tank 2, while the other side is fixed along the length direction to the side edge of the corresponding side of the aforementioned first horizontal plate 41, thereby enabling the first mounting bracket 4 to be securely fixed to the water tank 2. Preferably, the aforementioned first mounting bracket 4 is an integral bent plate, which makes the structure of the first mounting bracket 4 simple and ensures the robustness of its internal structure, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the water tank 2.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the second mounting bracket 5 further includes a vertically extending second vertical plate 52. One side of the second vertical plate 52 is fixedly attached to the outer surface of the corresponding side panel of the cabinet 1, while the other side is fixed along the length direction to the side edge of the corresponding side of the second horizontal plate 51, thereby securing the second mounting bracket 5 firmly to the cabinet 1. Preferably, the second mounting bracket 5 is an integral bent plate, which simplifies the structure of the second mounting bracket 5 and ensures the robustness of its internal structure, thus improving the stability of the sink 2 installation.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the sink 2 has a preset installation height. Each of the mounting members 6 supports the corresponding first mounting bracket 4, raising the sink 2 to the preset installation height. A circumferential annular gap (not shown) is formed between the edge of the mounting opening 111 and the horizontal edge of the sink 2 opening directly opposite the mounting opening 111. A sealing adhesive layer (not shown) is circumferentially disposed within this annular gap. After the sink 2 rises to the preset installation height, each of the mounting members 6 continues to support the corresponding first mounting bracket 4 until the sealing adhesive layer is clamped between the horizontal edge of the sink 2 opening and the edge of the mounting opening 111. Each of the locking members 7 then locks the corresponding mounting member 6. This further ensures the stable installation of the sink 2 and, by providing a sealing adhesive layer, guarantees the airtightness of the sink 2 installation, preventing water from entering the cabinet 1 through the gap between the sink 2 opening and the mounting opening 111. In this embodiment, specifically, the height of the upper and lower annular gaps is 5 to 10 mm, and the sealing adhesive layer is a glass glue layer. After the glass glue is injected into the upper and lower annular gaps, each mounting component 6 continues to support the corresponding first mounting bracket 4 until the glass glue layer is clamped between the horizontal edge of the water tank 2 opening and the edge of the mounting port 111.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the first horizontal plate 41 of each of the first mounting brackets 4 is located below the bottom wall of the water tank 2. This eliminates the need to adjust the size of the first horizontal plate 41 for different sizes of water tanks 2, which improves the versatility of the first mounting bracket 4 and thus helps to reduce the installation cost of the water tank 2.
