Description

A sink countertop structure that facilitates the assembly and disassembly of sink functional components Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sink technology, and in particular to a sink countertop structure that facilitates the assembly and disassembly of sink functional components. Background Technology

[0002] As a core functional component of modern kitchens, sinks are typically installed undermount to achieve a flat countertop. In traditional designs, the mounting holes for the water outlet are generally located on the rear edge of the countertop, secured with double-ended locking nuts and threaded fittings. However, this design presents a significant technical challenge: the recessed structure of the sink creates a high-density equipment layer against the wall behind it, reducing the vertical operating space in this area to less than 100mm after installation, making it difficult to access with conventional tools. When leaks occur, valves malfunction, or filters need replacement, maintenance personnel face multi-dimensional spatial constraints. They must overcome the limitations of the wrench's operating radius in the confined vertical space and the difficulty of nut positioning due to lateral blind spots. In practice, this often necessitates destructive removal of the sink itself for repairs, increasing the risk of countertop sealing failure and raising maintenance costs per visit. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a sink countertop structure that facilitates the assembly and disassembly of sink functional components.

[0013] Optionally, the locking element is a smooth bolt.

[0014] Optionally, the fixed cylinder is equipped with a threaded adapter.

[0028] Example

[0029] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the present invention proposes a sink 10 countertop structure that facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the sink 10 functional components, including a sink 10, a connecting and fixing base 20, and a locking component 30.

[0030] The countertop of the sink 10 has a fixing hole 11. The countertop has a threaded hole 12 that does not penetrate the upper surface around the fixing hole 11. The connecting fixing seat 20 is provided with a flange 21 and a fixing cylinder 22. The fixing cylinder 22 is provided with an internal thread for connecting the water outlet functional component 40. The flange 21 is provided with a connecting through hole 23. The locking component 30 passes through the connecting through hole 23 and is locked in the threaded hole 12.

[0031] In this invention, the recessed threaded hole 12 design raises the locking plane to the countertop operating level, transforming traditional vertical blind operation into visible horizontal operation. This expands the operating space for maintenance tools to the effective stroke of a conventional wrench. The fact that the threaded hole 12 does not penetrate the countertop effectively prevents liquid from seeping into the laminate substrate. This structure reduces subsequent maintenance costs, avoids damage to the silicone sealant layer caused by the complete disassembly of the sink 10, and ensures a high level of kitchen hygiene and safety.

[0032] In this embodiment, a connecting seat 13 is provided below the platform; a fixing hole 11 penetrates the middle of the connecting seat 13, and a threaded hole 12 is provided in the connecting seat 13. The lower extension structure of the connecting seat 13 forms a locally thickened load-bearing area.

[0033] Specifically, the connecting seat 13 and the flange 21 are provided with mutually compatible positioning holes 14 and positioning protrusions 24. After the protrusions are embedded in the positioning holes 14, they form circumferential limits, which improves the torsional strength of the flange 21 during the locking process and solves the problem of uneven wear of the sealing ring 50 caused by lateral forces in traditional structures.

[0034] Furthermore, the flange 21 is provided with two connecting through holes 23 and two locating protrusions 24; the two connecting through holes 23 are located on opposite sides of the flange 21, and the two locating protrusions 24 are located on opposite sides of the flange 21. The symmetrical arrangement of the two connecting through holes 23 and the two locating protrusions 24 forms a four-point balanced locking system. This structure improves the uniformity of the contact pressure distribution between the flange 21 and the platform, and significantly improves the long-term sealing stability compared to the traditional single-point locking method.

[0035] Preferably, the two connecting through holes 23 and the two positioning protrusions 24 are distributed at a 90-degree angle along the circumference on the flange 21, and the connection points distributed at 90° circumferentially form an orthogonal couple structure.

[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the connecting seat 13 is a circular flange seat located below the countertop; the fixing hole 11 passes through the center of the flange seat. The annular uniform distribution structure ensures uniform radial force distribution. The circular flange seat can be welded separately or integrally formed on the back side of the countertop of the sink 10.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4, the connecting plate 13 is a long strip-shaped connecting plate located below the countertop; the connecting plate is provided with multiple fixing holes 11 corresponding to the countertop of the sink 10. The long strip connecting plate and the multiple fixing holes 11 combine to form a modular installation platform, which allows the connecting plate 20 to be locked and fixed on the existing sink 10 platform by welding a single long strip connecting plate, thereby adapting to the existing sink 10 product for modification and upgrading.

[0038] In this embodiment, the flange 21 is provided with a sealing groove 25, and a sealing ring 50 is embedded in the sealing groove 25. The silicone rubber sealing ring 50 embedded in the sealing groove 25 forms a double sealing interface with the flange 21, effectively preventing liquid leakage along the fixing hole 11.

[0039] In this embodiment, the locking member 30 is a smooth bolt. The unthreaded shank of the smooth bolt allows the connecting fixing seat 20 to have a vertical travel space, facilitating the matching and locking of various lengths of water outlet functional components 40. After locking, the connecting fixing seat 20 can fit against the bottom surface of the connecting seat 13 for secure locking.

[0040] Preferably, the smooth bolt is a countersunk smooth bolt; the conical structure of the bolt optimizes the transmission angle of the locking force, and compared with the traditional hexagonal nut, the bolt head protrusion height is reduced, avoiding the risk of interference with components such as the water purifier filter element below.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fixed cylinder 22 is equipped with a threaded adapter. The threaded adapter provides internal connection threads of multiple diameters, allowing a single structure to be adapted to various mainstream water outlet functional components 40 on the market.

[0042] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
