[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0039] It is understood that the terms “first,” “second,” etc., used in this application may be used herein to describe various elements, but unless otherwise stated, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish one element from another.
[0040] like Figure 1-7 As shown, in one embodiment, a drain basket is provided, the drain basket comprising:
[0041] A drain rack 100 has several drain outlets 110 at the bottom, and the drain rack 100 is located on one side of a soap dispenser or faucet.
[0042] A water collection plate 200 is disposed on the drain rack 100 and located at the bottom of the drain outlet 110; a water inlet 210 is provided on the water collection plate 200; and
[0043] A drainage trough 300 is provided at the bottom of the water collection plate 200 and connected to the water inlet 210, for guiding water flow into the trough.
[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the drain rack 100, water collection plate 200, and drain trough 300 are stacked sequentially. The drain rack 100 is a square box shape with several drain outlets 110 at the bottom. The drain outlets 110 can be square, round, rhomboid, or a combination of common shapes. Anti-slip blocks can also be provided on the surface of the drain rack 100. The water collection plate 200 is installed at the bottom of the drain rack 100. Its installation method can be snap-fit, screw-fixed, or plug-in, etc., which are common installation methods and are not limited in this embodiment. Similarly, the drain trough 300 and water collection plate 200 can also be installed in the methods described above. The drain trough 300 is a long trough or tube shape, and its drainage direction is generally aligned with the sink, serving to guide and circulate the water. In this embodiment, the water collection plate 200 is used to collect the water dripping from the drain rack 100 and guide it to the drain trough 300 below through the water inlet 210. The drain trough 300 has the function of guiding the flow, which can directly guide the water flow into the sink. Therefore, the drain basket does not need to be suspended above the sink, avoiding the space above the sink being occupied and making subsequent cleaning work more convenient.
[0045] In an optimized solution, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the connection method between the drain rack 100 and the water collection plate 200 is specifically defined. A first connector 120 is provided at the bottom of the drain rack 100, and a second connector 220 is provided on the side of the water collection plate 200. The second connector 220 is inserted into the first connector 120 from the side of the drain rack 100. A positioning block 230 is provided on the side of the water collection plate 200 near the second connector 220, and the positioning block 230 abuts against the drain rack 100.
[0046] In this optimized design, the first connector 120 can be either a slot or a plug, and correspondingly, the second connector 220 can be either a plug or a slot. This optimized design improves the ease of installation of the water collection plate 200 and the drain rack 100 through a side-mounted connection. After the water collection plate 200 and the drain rack 100 are connected, the positioning block 230 serves to lock and position them, while also facilitating subsequent disassembly—the user can pull out the water collection plate 200 by pinching the positioning block 230.
[0047] In an optimized solution, such as Figure 8As shown, the drain basket also includes:
[0048] Hook 400 is attached to the drain rack 100 and abuts against the side of the water collection plate 200 near the positioning block 230.
[0049] In this optimized solution, the hook 400 is in the shape of a bent hook and is divided into a snap-fit part 410 and a bent hook part 420. The snap-fit part 410 is provided with a triangular block. When the snap-fit part 410 is inserted into the side wall of the drain rack 100, the triangular block plays a role in fastening. One side of the bent hook part 420 is used to hang cleaning tools such as cup brushes or long-handled brushes, and the other side abuts against the water collection plate 200 after installation, which plays a role in fixing the water collection plate 200.
[0050] In an optimized solution, such as Figure 4 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the connection method between the water collection plate 200 and the drainage trough 300 is specifically defined. The outlet end of the water inlet 210 is provided with a third connector 240. The drainage trough 300 includes a fourth connector 310 and a drainage channel 320. The drainage channel 320 is located at the end of the fourth connector 310. The third connector 240 is inserted into the fourth connector 310, so that the drainage channel 320 is connected to the water inlet 210.
[0051] In this embodiment, the connection method between the third connector 240 and the fourth connector 310 differs from that between the first connector 120 and the second plug-in. The first connector 120 and the second plug-in are laterally connected, while the third connector 240 and the fourth connector 310 can be connected either laterally or longitudinally, with the direction of connection depending on the guidance of the third connector 240. For example... Figure 2 As shown, if the third connector 240 faces downwards, it is inserted longitudinally; if the third connector 240 faces downwards, it is inserted laterally. In the case of longitudinal insertion, both the third connector 240 and the fourth connector 310 are cylindrical, and the drainage channel 300 is rotatably connected to the water collection plate 200. This design allows adjustment of the drainage end position of the drainage channel 300, improving convenience. Furthermore, the third connector 240 is provided with an annular snap-fit groove 241, and the fourth connector 310 is provided with a snap-fit protrusion 311. When the third connector 240 and the fourth connector 310 are inserted, the snap-fit protrusion 311 snaps into the snap-fit groove 241. This design improves the stability of the insertion.
[0052] In one optimized embodiment, the drain basket further includes:
[0053] The rotating component 500 has one end engaged with the drain rack 100, and the other end rotatably connected to a soap dispenser or faucet. The rotating component 500 is provided with a T-shaped protrusion, and the drain rack 100 is provided with a T-shaped groove, with the protrusion engaging with the groove.
[0054] In this optimized solution, the rotating component 500 is an independent part that is rotatably connected to the soap dispenser body 600, and the connection and engagement method between the T-shaped protrusion and the T-shaped groove is more stable.
[0055] In another embodiment, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, a soap dispenser with a drain basket is proposed, the soap dispenser with the drain basket comprising:
[0056] The drain basket described in the above embodiments; and
[0057] The soap dispenser body 600 has the drain basket rotatably mounted on it.
[0058] In this embodiment, the structure and effects of the drain basket have been discussed above, and will not be repeated here.
[0059] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0060] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
