Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of drain basins, and in particular relates to a drain basin. Background Technology

[0002] A draining basin is a common cleaning tool in the kitchen, mainly used for rinsing and draining vegetables, rice, fruits, and other ingredients. Currently, the mainstream products on the market are divided into two types: single-layer draining baskets and combination double basins. However, both have obvious limitations in use: although single-layer draining baskets are lightweight, they lack water storage capacity and cannot be used for soaking and washing. Moreover, residues tend to accumulate in the basket during rinsing, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and limited functionality. Combination double basins use a separate design, requiring the draining basket and the drip tray to be used together to complete the draining operation. However, the frequent disassembly and assembly of the two containers takes up operating space and increases the number of steps required, which does not meet the convenience requirements of modern kitchens. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a drain basin with both water collection and drainage functions is provided.

[0004] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a drain basin, comprising:

[0005] The basin includes an adjacent water receiving chamber and a water draining chamber, which are separated by a draining net. The bottom of the water draining chamber is provided with a drain hole.

[0006] A movable sealing assembly is disposed in the drain cavity. The movable sealing assembly includes a movable part and a sealing part fixed to the bottom of the movable part. The movable part can move vertically, so that the sealing part has a closed position that forms a sealing fit with the drain hole and an open position that is disengaged from the drain hole.

[0007] An elastic element, acting on a moving element, to maintain the seal in a closed or open position; and

[0008] The manual control component includes an operating handle exposed at the top opening of the drain chamber and a linkage mechanism connecting the operating handle and a movable part. The linkage mechanism converts the manual pulling or sliding operation of the operating handle into the vertical displacement of the movable part to switch the sealing state of the seal.

[0009] During use, the user presses down or slides the operating handle to position the seal inside the drain hole. At this point, the user can place vegetables, rice, fruits, or other food items into the water-receiving chamber, which then collects water for washing. After washing, the user can pull up or slide the operating handle upwards to move the movable part vertically, disengaging the seal from the drain hole. This allows the water in the water-receiving chamber to flow out through the drain hole at the bottom of the draining chamber, completing the draining process.

[0010] This design incorporates a single basin body with both a drain chamber and a water collection chamber, eliminating the need for a separate drain basket and water collection basin, thus simplifying user operation. Furthermore, the operating handle is located at the top opening of the drain chamber, allowing for easy pulling or sliding, making operation convenient.

[0011] Preferably, the linkage mechanism includes a slider fixed to the lower end of the operating handle and a movable block that is linked to the slider, the movable block being fixed to the top of the movable part; the draining cavity has a top wall, on which a sliding groove is provided for the operating handle to slide, and the movable block is located on the sliding path of the slider;

[0012] When the slider and the movable block abut, the slider can press the movable block downward to make the movable part move downward, so that the seal is in the closed position. When the slider and the movable block are not abutting, the movable block drives the movable part to move upward under the action of the elastic element, so that the seal is in the open position.

[0013] The contact between the slider and the movable block can be between inclined planes, between an inclined plane and a vertical plane, between curved surfaces, or between spherical surfaces, etc. The seal is closed or opened by sliding the slider using the operating handle, making it very convenient for the user.

[0014] Preferably, the linkage mechanism includes a slider fixed to the lower end of the operating handle and a movable block that is linked to the slider, the movable block being fixed to the top of the movable part; the draining cavity has a top wall, on which a sliding groove is provided for the operating handle to slide, and the movable block is located on the sliding path of the slider;

[0015] When the slider and the movable block abut, the slider can press the movable block upward to make the movable part move upward, so that the seal is in the open position. When the slider and the movable block are not abutting, the movable block presses the movable part downward under the action of the elastic element, so that the seal is in the closed position.

[0016] The contact between the slider and the movable block can be between inclined planes, between an inclined plane and a vertical plane, between curved surfaces, or between spherical surfaces, etc. The seal is closed or opened by sliding the slider using the operating handle, making it very convenient for the user.

[0017] Preferably, both the slider and the movable block are provided with a transition slope that can contact each other and a flat surface that can abut against each other.

[0018] The transition slope allows the slider and the moving block to have a guiding transition effect when they come into contact, which facilitates the vertical movement of the moving block, while the flat surface ensures the contact effect.

[0019] Preferably, the draining cavity has a top wall, and the linkage mechanism includes a movable block fixed to the upper end of the movable part. The operating handle passes through the top wall and is fixed to the movable block. The two ends of the elastic member abut against the upper end face of the movable block and the lower end face of the top wall respectively to apply a downward elastic force to the movable block and maintain the sealing member in the closed position.

[0020] When the operating handle is pulled upward, it can move the movable block upward, causing the seal to move to the open position.

[0021] The position of the seal is switched by pulling up the movable block using the operating handle.

[0022] Preferably, the lower side of the top wall is provided with a receiving cavity, and the elastic element, the movable block and the slider are all disposed in the receiving cavity. The movable element passes through the receiving cavity and is fixedly connected to the movable block. The outer wall of the movable block contacts the inner wall of the receiving cavity, so that the movable block and the receiving cavity slide together.

[0023] The contact between the outer wall of the movable block and the inner wall of the receiving cavity can guide the vertical movement of the movable block.

[0024] Preferably, the receiving cavity and / or the movable block are provided with a vertically extending positioning protrusion, and the elastic element is a compression spring, the end of which is sleeved on the positioning protrusion.

[0025] The positioning protrusion ensures that the spring force of the compression spring is in the vertical direction, facilitating the vertical movement of the movable block.

[0026] Preferably, the movable block has a vertical extension to the guide post, and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity has a guide groove that slides with the guide post. When the movable block moves vertically, the guide post slides in the guide groove.

[0027] The positioning effect of the movable block is further improved by the cooperation of the guide column and guide groove, ensuring the vertical movement trajectory of the movable block and preventing the movable block from swinging too much during movement.

[0028] Preferably, the inner opening edge of the drain hole is provided with several anti-sway ribs, which extend along the moving direction of the seal and surround the moving path of the seal to prevent the seal from swaying.

[0029] By setting several anti-sway ribs, the seal can be prevented from swinging significantly during movement, thus avoiding misalignment with the drain hole and resulting in poor sealing performance.

[0030] Preferably, the wall of the drain hole is provided with sealing silicone, and when the seal is in the closed position, the sealing silicone is in sealing contact with the outer wall of the seal.

[0031] By using sealing silicone, a tight seal can be ensured, preventing water leakage.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: this solution uses a basin body to set up a draining chamber and a water receiving chamber, thus eliminating the need for a combination of a drain basket and a water receiving basin, making it convenient for users. Furthermore, the operating handle is located at the top opening of the draining chamber, allowing users to easily switch between sealing and drainage modes simply by pulling or sliding the handle.

[0049] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment 1 discloses a drain basin, including a basin body for holding water. The basin body includes an adjacent water receiving cavity 11 and a draining cavity 12, which are separated by a drain mesh 8. The bottom of the draining cavity 12 is provided with a drain hole 2, and a ring of sealing silicone 21 extending radially inward is provided on the wall of the drain hole 2. Two symmetrically arranged anti-sway ribs 22 are provided at the inner opening edge of the drain hole 2. The anti-sway ribs 22 have an arc that matches the circumferential outer edge of the drain hole 2. The anti-sway ribs 22 extend along the moving direction (vertical direction) of the seal 4 and surround the moving path of the seal 4 to prevent the seal 4 from swaying.

[0052] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, a movable sealing assembly is provided inside the drain cavity 12. The movable sealing assembly includes a movable part 5 and a sealing part 4 fixed to the lower end of the movable part 5. The sealing part 4 cooperates with the drain hole 2, having a closed position that forms a sealing fit with the drain hole 2 and an open position that disengages from the drain hole 2. In the closed position, the circumferential outer wall of the sealing part 4 is sealed with the sealing silicone 21 inside the drain hole 2, and in the open position, the sealing part 4 moves upward and disengages from the drain hole 2.

[0053] The draining chamber 12 has a top wall, the upper end of which has an upward-opening groove 121. An operating handle 13 is slidably fitted within the groove 121. A receiving cavity shell 31 is fixed to the lower end of the top wall, and the receiving cavity shell 31 is hollow to form a receiving cavity 3. A linkage mechanism is provided within the receiving cavity 3. The linkage mechanism includes a slider 7 fixed to the lower end of the operating handle 13 and a movable block 6 that can be pressed downward by the slider 7. Both the slider 7 and the movable block 6 are disposed within the receiving cavity 3. The receiving cavity 3 extends vertically, and the circumferential sidewall of the movable block 6 contacts and engages with the inner wall of the receiving cavity 3, allowing the movable block 6 to move vertically. The operating handle 13 can drive the slider 7 to move along the groove 121, and the movable block 6 is located on the sliding path of the slider 7.

[0054] Both the slider 7 and the movable block 6 are provided with a transition slope 9 that can contact each other and a plane 91 that can contact each other. The plane 91 is located at the lower end of the slider 7 and the upper end of the movable block 6, respectively.

[0055] After the movable part 5 passes upward through the receiving cavity 3, it is fixedly connected to the movable block 6 inside the receiving cavity 3, so that the movement of the movable block 6 can drive the movement of the movable part 5, thereby realizing the position switching of the sealing part 4.

[0056] An elastic element 62, which is a compression spring, is also provided inside the receiving cavity 3. The two ends of the elastic element 62 abut against the lower end of the movable block 6 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 3, respectively, so that the movable block 6 has an upward tendency. A downwardly extending positioning protrusion 621 is provided at the lower end of the movable block 6, and the upper end of the elastic element 62 is sleeved on the positioning protrusion 621.

[0057] The lower end of the movable block 6 is also provided with a vertical extension to the guide post 61. The bottom wall of the receiving cavity 3 is provided with a guide groove that slides with the guide post 61. When the movable block 6 moves vertically, the guide post 61 slides in the guide groove.

[0058] When slider 7 presses against movable block 6, the lower end plane 91 of slider 7 abuts against the upper end plane 91 of movable block 6. This causes the entire movable block 6 to move downwards. At this time, the seal 4 and the sealing silicone 21 are in a sealing engagement, and the seal 4 is in the closed position.

[0059] Move the operating handle 13 so that the lower end plane 91 of the slider 7 and the upper end plane 91 of the movable block 6 do not abut. At this time, the slider 7 will not press the movable block 6, and the transition slopes 9 of the two are in contact with each other. The entire movable block 6 moves upward under the action of the elastic member 62, causing the seal 4 to disengage from the drain hole 2. At this time, the seal 4 is in the open position.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] like Figures 10 to 14The difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the upper and lower ends of the elastic member 62 abut against the upper sides of the movable block 6 and the lower sides of the top wall, respectively, to apply downward pressure to the movable block 6, so that the movable member 5 moves downward and the sealing member 4 is in the closed position inside the drain hole 2.

[0062] A laterally extending insert 71 is provided at the lower end of the slider 7, and a frame 63 extending upward and open on both sides is provided at the upper end of the movable block 6. Both the frame 63 and the insert 71 are provided with transition slopes 9 that can contact each other, and the upper end of the insert 71 and the lower end of the top of the frame 63 are provided with planes 91 for the two to abut against each other.

[0063] When the insert 71 is not inserted into the frame 63, the plane 91 of the insert 71 is located at the upper end of the plane 91 of the frame 63, causing the movable block 6 to move downward under the action of the elastic member 62. When the insert 71 is inserted into the frame 63, the plane 91 of the insert 71 is located at the lower end of the plane 91 of the frame 63, causing the insert 71 to press the frame upward, thereby driving the movable member 5 to move upward, causing the sealing member 4 to move upward and disengage from the drain hole to be in the open position.

[0064] In some other embodiments, the movable block 6 may not have a frame 63. Instead, a transition slope may be directly provided on the lower left side of the movable block 6, and then the insert 71 may be inserted into the lower side of the movable block 6 to press the entire movable block 6 upward.

[0065] Example 3

[0066] like Figure 15 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiment 2 is that the upper end of the movable block 6 is directly fixedly connected to the operating handle 13. The operating handle 13 can directly pull the entire movable block 6 upward by pulling it upward, thereby driving the movable part 5 to move upward, so that the sealing part 4 moves upward and disengages from the drain hole to be in the open position.

[0067] During use, the user presses down or slides the operating handle to position the seal inside the drain hole. At this point, the user can place vegetables, rice, fruits, or other food items into the water-receiving chamber, which then collects water for washing. After washing, the user can pull up or slide the operating handle upwards to move the movable part vertically, disengaging the seal from the drain hole. This allows the water in the water-receiving chamber to flow out through the drain hole at the bottom of the draining chamber, completing the draining process.
