Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated basin processing technology, and in particular to a hand basin with an integrated edge structure. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, ceramic slabs and other slabs have been widely used in surface decoration, bathroom fixtures, furniture countertops, furniture panels and other applications due to their large ductility, strong texture plasticity and thinness.

[0003] In the current segmented application scenarios of bathroom washbasins, during the process of washing and rinsing in the bathroom washbasin, water inevitably splashes onto the countertop, forming water accumulation and requiring frequent cleaning of the countertop; or during the use of the washbasin, items on the countertop are prone to falling to the ground if there are no protective edges around the outer perimeter of the countertop, and cannot be repaired after being broken.

[0004] Therefore, most existing countertop products usually have a backing edge designed around the outer perimeter of the countertop. However, the existing backing edge and the countertop are usually separate, that is, the backing edge structure is fixed to the outer perimeter of the countertop by adhesive or installation accessories. The corner positions have adhesive strips or narrow gaps, which are inconvenient to clean and have hard-to-clean corners.

[0005] In addition, very few designs integrate the edge with the countertop. Integrated countertop edge is usually made by pressure casting mold. The specific pressure casting mold is customized according to the different specifications of the countertop. The pressure casting mold usually consists of at least two separate upper and lower molds. The mold utilization rate is low and the processing cost is high. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hand basin with an integrated edge structure.

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a washbasin with an integrated edge structure, comprising a one-piece ceramic slab basin, wherein an edge strip is convexly provided on the outer periphery of the ceramic slab basin, the horizontal height of the edge strip from the ceramic slab basin is 3-20mm, and the horizontal width of the edge strip is 5-50mm; a water trough is recessed downward in the middle of the ceramic slab basin, and a funnel-shaped drain outlet is further recessed downward at the bottom of the water trough; the ceramic slab basin, edge strip, water trough, and funnel-shaped drain outlet are all integrally formed by a hot bending process.

[0008] Furthermore, the edge guard strip is a right-angle edge guard strip or an arc-shaped inclined edge guard strip.

[0009] Furthermore, the ceramic slab basin is inclined downwards from the outer periphery towards the center.

[0010] Furthermore, the inclined ceramic slab basin has an angle of inclination of 1-15° with respect to the horizontal direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the area of ​​the water tank is 0.15-4㎡.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the one-piece ceramic slab basin is 0.8-2cm.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the water tank and the connection position of the funnel-shaped drain outlet have an arc-shaped bevel.

[0014] Furthermore, the funnel-shaped drain outlet is provided with an annular groove for seamless assembly with the drain interface, and the annular groove is integrally formed with the funnel-shaped drain outlet.

[0015] Furthermore, the ceramic slab basin has four convex edge strips on its outer perimeter: a back edge strip located near the wall, a front edge strip located away from the wall, and two side edge strips located on the left and right sides of the ceramic slab basin. The height of the back edge strip is greater than the height of the side edge strips, and the height of the side edge strips is greater than the height of the front edge strip. The connection points between the back edge strip and the side edge strips, as well as the connection points between the side edge strips and the front edge strips, are naturally curved to form smooth transition corner edge strips.

[0016] Furthermore, the ceramic slab basin has four flat edge strips of equal horizontal height protruding from its outer periphery.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. This application features a hot-bent, one-piece edge strip protruding from the outer perimeter of the ceramic slab basin, avoiding the gaps at corners found in existing technologies, maintaining the cleanliness of the countertop, and also eliminating the cumbersome assembly process using fittings. Replacing die-casting with a self-weight hot-bending process to produce a one-piece basin significantly reduces production costs.

[0019] 2. The quantity and position of this edge strip can be customized, and it can be manufactured to produce washbasins with single-sided edge structure, double-sided edge structure, three-sided edge structure, and four-sided edge structure, which are suitable for a variety of usage scenarios and can easily realize the processing and production of customized products.

[0020] 3. Existing countertops are usually flush with the horizontal, making them prone to water accumulation. By designing the ceramic slab basin with a downward slope from the outer perimeter towards the center, water can be easily directed to the sink, keeping the countertop clean and tidy without human intervention. To avoid affecting the countertop's storage function, the angle θ between the ceramic slab basin and the horizontal direction is preferably designed to be 1-15°.

[0021] 4. This application incorporates four flat, equally sized edge strips protruding from the outer perimeter of the ceramic slab basin, enabling it to be used with kitchen island basins that have a washing and drainage function, thus expanding its applicability. Furthermore, the flat edge strips prevent items from falling to the floor and also serve as mounting points for installation with the recessed areas of the bottom island cabinet, improving the speed and stability of countertop assembly.

[0022] 5. This one-piece washbasin also includes edge strips of different heights. The hot bending process allows the edge strips of different heights to bend naturally at the corners to form a smooth transition corner edge, creating an arc-shaped water guiding structure at the corners. This prevents water accumulation or dirt from hiding at the corners of the basin. The corners of this washbasin have a smooth transition and will not mold, turn black, or hide dirt.

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0034] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a washbasin 100 with an integrated edge structure includes a one-piece ceramic slab basin 11. An edge strip 12 protrudes from the outer periphery of the ceramic slab basin. The horizontal height H of the edge strip 12 from the ceramic slab basin is 3-20mm, and the horizontal width L of the edge strip is 5-50mm. A water trough 13 is recessed downward in the middle of the ceramic slab basin, and a funnel-shaped drain outlet 14 is further recessed downward at the bottom of the water trough 13. The ceramic slab basin 11, the edge strip 12, the water trough 13, and the funnel-shaped drain outlet 14 are all integrally formed by a hot bending process.

[0035] This application features a heat-bent, one-piece edge strip 12 protruding from the outer perimeter of the ceramic slab basin, eliminating gaps at various corners found in existing technologies, maintaining the cleanliness of the countertop, and also avoiding the cumbersome assembly process of using fittings. Furthermore, this application uses a self-weight heat-bending process instead of die-casting to produce a one-piece basin, significantly reducing production costs.

[0036] As a further preferred option, the edge guard strip 12 is a right-angle edge guard strip or an arc-shaped inclined edge guard strip.

[0037] As a further preferred embodiment, the ceramic slab basin is inclined downwards from the outer periphery towards the center.

[0038] As a further preferred option, the inclined angle θ between the ceramic slab basin and the horizontal direction is 1-15°. Existing countertops are usually flush with the horizontal plane, easily trapping water. By designing the ceramic slab basin to slope downwards from the outer perimeter towards the center, water can be easily directed to the sink, maintaining a clean and tidy countertop without human intervention. To avoid affecting the countertop's storage function, the inclined angle θ between the ceramic slab basin and the horizontal direction is preferably designed to be 1-15°. Figure 3 As shown.

[0039] As a further preferred option, the area of ​​the water tank 13 is 0.15-4㎡.

[0040] As a further preferred option, the thickness of the one-piece ceramic slab basin 11 is 0.8-2cm.

[0041] As a further preferred embodiment, the connection point between the bottom of the water tank 13 and the funnel-shaped drain outlet 14 has a rounded bevel. The ceramic slab integrated basin of this application has a funnel-shaped drain outlet 14 integrally formed with the basin body at its bottom, resulting in a more concentrated water flow and faster drainage speed.

[0042] As a further preferred embodiment, the funnel-shaped drain outlet 14 is provided with an annular groove (not shown in the figure) for seamless assembly with the drain fixture interface, and the annular groove is integrally formed with the funnel-shaped drain outlet 14. The funnel-shaped drain outlet 14 also has an annular groove for installing the drain fixture, which allows for a higher degree of fit between the drain fixture and the drain outlet, seamless assembly, high firmness, and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0043] The quantity, position, height, and width of the edge strips 12 in this application are typically customized according to the product's installation location. For example, whether the washbasin is installed against a wall or not. If so, to prevent water stains on the wall, 1-3 edge strips 12 are added as water-blocking strips at the wall-mounted position. The back of the edge strips 12 with higher horizontal heights can be glued to improve the installation firmness of the washbasin. In addition, users can customize the design according to their water-blocking needs, setting edge strips of different heights.

[0044] As a further preferred embodiment, the ceramic slab basin has four protruding edge strips 12 on its outer perimeter: a back edge strip 122 located near the wall, a front edge strip 123 located away from the wall, and two side edge strips 124 located on the left and right sides of the ceramic slab basin. Since the back edge strip 122 is usually installed against the wall and is also the location of the faucet, it has a higher requirement for preventing splashing. Therefore, the height of the back edge strip 122 is designed to be greater than the height of the side edge strips 124, and the height of the side edge strips 124 is greater than the height of the front edge strip 123. The connection points between the back edge strip 122 and the side edge strips 124, as well as the connection points between the side edge strips 124 and the front edge strips 123, are naturally curved to form smooth transition corner edge strips 125. Preferably, the horizontal height of the back edge strip 122 is 10-20mm, the horizontal height of the side edge strip 124 is 6-8mm, and the horizontal height of the front edge strip 123 is 3-5mm. In this embodiment, the edge strip is preferably a right-angle edge strip, and its thickness is comparable to the thickness of the ceramic slab.

[0045] This one-piece washbasin includes edge strips 12 at different heights. The hot-bending process allows the corners of these edge strips 12 to bend naturally, forming a smooth transition corner edge 125. This creates an arc-shaped water-guiding structure at the corners, preventing water accumulation or dirt buildup. The corners of this washbasin have a gentle transition, completely preventing mold, blackening, and dirt accumulation. Figures 4-5 As shown.

[0046] As a further preferred embodiment, the ceramic slab basin has four flat edge strips 121 of equal horizontal height protruding from its outer periphery. In this embodiment, the horizontal width of the flat edge strips 121 is appropriately increased, preferably to 25-30 mm, and the horizontal height of the flat edge strips 121 is appropriately reduced, preferably to 8-10 mm. This design allows the washbasin to be used with kitchen island basins that have a washing and drainage function, thus expanding the washbasin's applicability. Figure 6 As shown. In addition, the flat edge strip 121 can prevent items on the countertop from falling to the ground, and can also serve as an installation position for installation with the B slot of the bottom island cabinet, which can improve the assembly speed and installation stability of the countertop.

[0047] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
