Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a water tank assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most residential units sold by developers include bay windows to increase usable floor space. When a bay window is located in the kitchen, it significantly increases the kitchen's usable area. In particular, installing a sink on the bay window greatly improves the utilization of countertop space.

[0003] However, for typical apartment layouts, the countertop of a kitchen bay window is approximately 85 centimeters from the ground, making it impossible to install a sink on this surface using existing technology. Specifically, because the drain outlet of a sink in existing technology is generally located in the center of the sink or the center of its width, sufficient space needs to be left between the countertop and the sink to accommodate the drain assembly and other components. This results in the sink being quite high off the ground after installation, making it inconvenient for users.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new type of water tank to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This disclosure provides a water tank assembly.

[0006] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a sink assembly is provided that can be installed on the countertop of a bay window, comprising:

[0007] The tank includes a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, wherein when a user uses the tank assembly, the second side is closer to the user than the first side;

[0008] The tank is provided with a drain outlet, which is at a first distance from the first side and at a second distance from the second side. The first distance is greater than the second distance.

[0009] According to one aspect of the technical solution, the drain outlet of the sink assembly disclosed herein can be offset so that when the sink assembly is installed on a bay window, the drain outlet can be located on the rear side of the bay window, i.e., on the side closer to the user. At this time, the drain outlet can be conveniently connected to components such as connectors and drain pipes, thus solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0010] According to at least one embodiment of the water tank assembly of the present disclosure, the tank body includes a bottom, the drain outlet is disposed at the bottom, and the drain outlet is disposed near the second side.

[0011] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, by setting the drain outlet at the bottom of the tank and near the second side, it is easier to install the connector and drain pipe into the tank and make the connector connected to the drain outlet.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment of the water tank assembly of the present disclosure, the bottom of the tank is generally square, and the drain outlet is located at one of the two corners of the bottom of the tank near the second side.

[0013] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, by setting the drain outlet at the bottom corner, the drain pipe can be arranged as a whole on the side of the bay window, or in other words, only part of the drain pipe is arranged directly above the bay window. As a result, the drainage of the water tank assembly of this disclosure is smoother.

[0014] According to at least one embodiment of the sink assembly of the present disclosure, the sink body includes a bottom, a portion of the drain outlet is located at the bottom, and a portion of the drain outlet is located at the second side; or, the drain outlet is located at the second side.

[0015] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, by setting the drain outlet on the side or at least partially on the side, the water tank assembly of this disclosure can provide a side drainage method and can adapt to more house types, expanding the usage scenarios.

[0016] According to at least one embodiment of the water tank assembly of the present disclosure, the tank body includes a first direction and a second direction, wherein the first side portion and the second side portion are formed as two sides of the tank body in the first direction; in the second direction of the tank body, the tank body includes a third side portion and a fourth side portion opposite to the third side portion; the tank body also includes a bottom, wherein a portion of the drain outlet is located at the bottom of the tank body, and a portion of the drain outlet is located at the third side portion or the fourth side portion; or, the drain outlet is located at the third side portion, or the drain outlet is located at the fourth side portion.

[0017] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, by setting the drain outlet on two sides in the second direction (i.e., the length direction), the drain outlet can avoid the middle position in the length direction. At this time, the drain pipe connected to the drain outlet is also set on both sides in the length direction of the sink assembly. When the user places an object between the sink assembly and the bay window sill, the drain pipe will not affect the object placement process.

[0018] The water tank assembly according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure further includes:

[0019] A connector, wherein the connector is disposed in the tank and communicates with the drain outlet; and

[0020] A drain pipe, the two ends of which are connected to the connector and the drain pipe, wherein water discharged through the connector flows to the drain pipe in a vertically downward flow state, or water discharged through the connector flows to the drain pipe in an inclined downward flow state.

[0021] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the drain pipe of this disclosure can be installed vertically as a whole (except for the S-bend), or most of the drain pipe (except for the S-bend) can be installed vertically. Therefore, the drainage effect of the sink assembly of this disclosure is good, and the drain pipe is not easily blocked. In addition, even if the drain pipe is blocked, the process of cleaning the drain pipe is relatively convenient.

[0022] According to at least one embodiment of the sink assembly of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the drain pipe is located on the side of the bay window and close to the user.

[0023] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, all or at least most of the drain pipe can be installed on the side of the bay window. Therefore, the drain pipes of the sink assembly of this disclosure can be neatly arranged without creating a cluttered appearance. Furthermore, the drain pipes can be easily replaced and maintained.

[0024] The sink assembly according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a faucet, the faucet being mounted on the first side.

[0025] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the faucet and drain of the sink assembly of this disclosure are arranged opposite to each other. In other words, the drain is arranged away from the faucet. Thus, the sink assembly of this disclosure can be structurally distinguished from the solutions in the prior art, and the sink assembly of this disclosure can be installed on the sill of a bay window.

[0026] According to at least one embodiment of the sink assembly of the present disclosure, a slide rail is provided on both the first side and the second side, and an item support member is slidably provided on the slide rail.

[0027] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, by setting up an item support component, the sink assembly of this disclosure can have other functions and be formed into a multi-purpose sink assembly.

[0028] According to at least one embodiment of the sink assembly of the present disclosure, the drain outlet is configured as only one.

[0029] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the sink assembly of this disclosure is formed as a single internal space and a single drain outlet. Therefore, the sink assembly of this disclosure only needs to be equipped with a single drain pipe, which facilitates the arrangement and installation of the drain pipe. Attached Figure Description

[0064] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0065] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in this disclosure can be combined with each other. The technical solutions of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0066] Unless otherwise stated, the exemplary implementations / embodiments shown are to be understood as providing exemplary features of various details that provide ways in which the technical concepts of this disclosure can be implemented in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the features of various implementations / embodiments may be additionally combined, separated, interchanged and / or rearranged without departing from the technical concepts of this disclosure.

[0067] The use of crosshairs and / or shading in the accompanying drawings is generally used to clarify the boundaries between adjacent components. Thus, unless otherwise stated, the presence or absence of crosshairs or shading does not convey or indicate any preference or requirement for the specific material, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonalities between the illustrated components, or any other characteristics, properties, etc., of the components. Furthermore, in the accompanying drawings, the dimensions and relative dimensions of components may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. When exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, a specific process sequence may be performed in a different order than that described. For example, two consecutively described processes may be performed substantially simultaneously or in the reverse order of their description. Furthermore, the same reference numerals denote the same components.

[0068] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "above" another component, "connected to," or "joined to" another component, the component may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly joined to the other component, or there may be intermediate components. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on" another component, "directly connected to," or "directly joined to" another component, there are no intermediate components. Therefore, the term "connection" can refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, etc., and may or may not have intermediate components.

[0069] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” another component or feature would subsequently be positioned “above” said other component or feature. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.

[0070] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well. Furthermore, when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” and variations thereof are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof. It should also be noted that, as used herein, the terms “substantially,” “about,” and other similar terms are used as approximate terms rather than as terms of degree, thus explaining the inherent biases in measurements, calculated values, and / or provided values ​​that would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0071] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the usage state of a water tank assembly 500 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the usage state of a water tank assembly 500 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the usage state of a water tank assembly 500 according to yet another embodiment of this disclosure.

[0072] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sink assembly 500 of this disclosure can be installed on a bay window. Specifically, when the sink assembly 500 of this disclosure is in use, it can be directly or indirectly fixed to a building, which includes a wall 100 and a platform-like structure 200 protruding from the generally vertical surface of the wall 100 into the interior of the building. Additionally, a window 300 can be installed on the wall 100, thereby the wall 100, the platform-like structure 200, and the window 300 collectively form the bay window of this disclosure. Based on the structure of the bay window of this disclosure, those skilled in the art should understand that the platform-like structure 200 is generally located to the side and below the window 300, and in this case, the upper surface of the platform-like structure 200 is the sill of the bay window.

[0073] Generally, because appliances such as stoves need to be installed above range hoods, these appliances are usually installed at a distance of 300 mm from the window. In this case, if a sink assembly 500 is installed on the platform structure 200, the sink assembly 500 can create a comfortable workflow for washing, cutting, and cooking with the stove. This improves the utilization of the bay window, increases storage space, enhances the utilization of the kitchen countertop, and optimizes the workflow.

[0074] The structure may also include a storage cabinet 400, which can be fixed to the wall 100 or the platform structure 200. In one specific embodiment, the storage cabinet may include a cabinet body and a top cover plate mounted on the upper end of the cabinet body. The top cover plate may have a through hole, through which at least a portion of the sink assembly 500 passes and is located inside the storage cabinet 400. In this case, the sink assembly 500 of this disclosure can be supported by the storage cabinet 400. The sink assembly 500 and the platform structure 200 of this disclosure may be spaced apart. Of course, the sink assembly 500 may also be directly mounted on the platform structure 200 and supported and fixed by the platform structure 200. This disclosure does not limit the support method of the sink assembly 500.

[0075] The specific structure of the water tank assembly 500 will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0076] Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram of a water tank assembly according to the first embodiment of this disclosure.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, the water tank assembly 500 of this disclosure includes a tank body 510, wherein the tank body 510 forms an upward-opening internal space. Specifically, the tank body 510 of this disclosure may include a first direction and a second direction. In a preferred embodiment, the first direction may be a width direction, and the second direction may be a length direction. In this case, the tank body 510 is formed into a generally cuboid structure. Of course, the tank body 510 of this disclosure may also be formed into other shapes so that the tank body 510 can be adapted to platform structures 200 of different shapes.

[0078] Taking a roughly rectangular groove 510 as an example, the groove 510 of this disclosure may include a first side portion 511, a second side portion 512, a third side portion 513, a fourth side portion 514, and a bottom 515. The first side portion 511 and the second side portion 512 are opposite sides; for example, the first side portion 511 and the second side portion 512 are two opposite sides in the width direction. The third side portion 513 and the fourth side portion 514 are two opposite sides; for example, the third side portion 513 and the fourth side portion 514 are two opposite sides in the length direction. Those skilled in the art should understand that the first side portion 511, the third side portion 513, the second side portion 512, and the fourth side portion 514 can be connected sequentially to form a square space.

[0079] The bottom 515 is connected to the first side 511, the third side 513, the second side 512 and the fourth side 514 respectively, thereby closing the lower end of the square space and forming the aforementioned internal space.

[0080] When in use, the sink assembly of this disclosure allows the user to face the sink assembly directly, and correspondingly, the user will also face the window mounted on the wall 100. In this case, the first side 511 is the side furthest from the user, and the second side 512 is the side closer to the user; that is, the second side 512 is closer to the user. In other words, the first side 511 is closer to the window 300 facing the user than the second side 512.

[0081] A drain outlet is provided on the trough 510. The drain outlet is at a first distance from the first side 511 and at a second distance from the second side 512, with the first distance being greater than the second distance. Therefore, when the sink assembly of this disclosure is installed on a bay window, the drain outlet can be positioned closer to the rear side of the bay window (i.e., the side closer to the user; correspondingly, the front side is the side closer to the window). In this case, the drain outlet can easily connect to components such as the connector 570 and the drain pipe 580. In other words, even when the distance between the sink assembly 500 and the platform structure 200 is small or even in direct contact, the connector 570 and the drain pipe 580 can still be installed at the drain outlet. Thus, the sink assembly 500 can be installed on the bay window, solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0082] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drain outlet can be set on the bottom 515 and is located close to the second side 512; that is, when the sink assembly of this disclosure is in use, the further away the drain outlet is from the first side 511 and the closer it is to the second side 512, the better its technical effect.

[0083] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom 515 of the tank 510 is roughly square, and the drain outlet is located at one corner of the bottom 515 of the tank 510, and the drain outlet is located near the third side 513.

[0084] In order to allow the liquid in the water tank assembly 500 to be discharged as quickly as possible, the drain outlet is formed at the lowest point of the internal space of the tank body 510. Thus, the water in the tank body 510 can flow to the drain outlet under the action of gravity and be discharged through the connector 570 and the drain pipe 580 connected to the drain outlet.

[0085] Figure 5 This is a structural schematic diagram of a water tank assembly according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0086] like Figure 5 As shown, the sink assembly 500 in the second embodiment can be arranged approximately symmetrically with the sink assembly 500 in the first embodiment, thereby allowing different sink assemblies 500 to be selected for different apartment layouts.

[0087] See again Figure 5 In this second embodiment, the sink assembly 500 is provided with slide rails on both the first side 511 and the second side 512. Item support components 520 are slidably mounted on these slide rails. These item support components 520 can be components with various storage functions, such as cutting boards and / or vegetable washing baskets. In other words, in Figure 5 In the structure shown, a cutting board is slidably mounted on the slide rail. At this time, the cutting board can slide along the length of the sink assembly 500 and be located in different positions to facilitate the user's use of the cutting board or components such as the faucet 530.

[0088] Alternatively, the cutting board can be replaced by a vegetable washing basket or other components. Or, a vegetable washing basket can be placed next to the cutting board, in which case the cutting board and the vegetable washing basket can slide independently on the slide rail.

[0089] Furthermore, the sliding rail disclosed herein can also support the cutting board or vegetable washing basket, thereby enabling the cutting board or vegetable washing basket to withstand greater downward pressure without downward displacement.

[0090] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a faucet 530 is installed on the first side portion 511 of this disclosure. That is, the first side portion 511 of this disclosure is the component for installing the faucet 530, thus distinguishing the sink assembly 500 of this disclosure from sinks in the prior art. Although not illustrated in this disclosure, those skilled in the art should understand that the faucet 530 can also be installed on the third side portion 513 or the fourth side portion 514. In other words, the faucet 530 only needs not be installed on the second side portion 512.

[0091] In a preferred embodiment, the faucet 530 can be located at the center of the length direction of the first side portion 511. More preferably, the faucet 530 can be a pull-out faucet, thereby effectively reducing the pull-out length of the faucet when it is located at the center of the length direction of the first side portion 511, and correspondingly, greatly reducing the cost of the pull-out faucet.

[0092] See again Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the water tank assembly of this disclosure, the second side portion 512, the third side portion 513, and the fourth side portion 514 are all formed into generally flat structures; however, the first side portion 511 is formed into a bent structure. For example, the distance between one end of the first side portion 511 and the second side portion 512 is less than the distance between the other end of the first side portion 511 and the second side portion 512. In other words, the size of the third side portion 513 is smaller than the size of the fourth side portion 514.

[0093] One end of the first side 511 may be provided with a drain basket 540, so that water falling from an object placed on the drain basket 540 can fall directly into the interior space of the tank 510, instead of falling to the outside of the tank 510.

[0094] In addition, the length of the drain basket 540 can be approximately the same as the size of one end of the first side portion 511, and the width of the drain basket 540 can be approximately the same as the distance (i.e. offset) between one end of the first side portion 511 and the other end of the first side portion 511 in the width direction. In this case, the drain basket 540 can be located within the space formed by one end of the first side portion 511, and one surface of the drain basket 540 can be approximately parallel to the other end of the first side portion 511.

[0095] Furthermore, the drain basket 540 disclosed herein may also be provided with partial slide rails, so that the item support component 520 can slide to the position of the drain basket 540.

[0096] In this disclosure, a mounting component 516 may be provided on the first side portion 511, which is also part of the groove 510. Preferably, the faucet 530 can be mounted on the mounting component 516.

[0097] More preferably, the mounting component 516 may also be equipped with components such as a water purifier 550 and / or a cup washer 560, thereby enabling the sink assembly of this disclosure to be a multifunctional sink assembly, thus improving the user experience.

[0098] Figure 6 This is a structural schematic diagram of a water tank assembly according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 This is a structural schematic diagram of a water tank assembly according to the fourth embodiment of this disclosure.

[0099] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the drain outlet of this disclosure can also be located at another corner of the bottom 515 of the tank 510, in which case the drain outlet is located near the fourth side 514.

[0100] In other words, in another embodiment of this disclosure, the location of the drain outlet is similar to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The structures shown are not the same.

[0101] Figure 8 This is a structural schematic diagram of a water tank assembly according to the fifth embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 9 This is a structural schematic diagram of a water tank assembly according to the sixth embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 10 This is a structural schematic diagram of a water tank assembly according to the seventh embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 11This is a structural schematic diagram of a water tank assembly according to the eighth embodiment of this disclosure.

[0102] like Figures 8 to 11 As shown, in these embodiments, the location of the drain outlet is different from that in the embodiments described above. Specifically, part of the drain outlet is located at the bottom 515, and parts of the drain outlet are located at the second side 512, the third side 513, and the fourth side 514.

[0103] by Figure 8 and Figure 9 The structure shown has the drain outlet located at the bottom 515 and the third side 513. Figure 10 and Figure 11 The structure shown has the drain located at the bottom 515 and the fourth side 514.

[0104] In other implementations, the drain outlet can also be located on the second side 512, the third side 513, or the fourth side 514. In other words, the bottom 515 of the tank 510 is formed as a single structure and does not include the drain outlet. Furthermore, when the drain outlet is located on the second side 512, it is located at both ends of the second side 512 along its length. Therefore, the connector 570 and the drain pipe 580 connected to the drain outlet are not centrally located, thus not affecting the process of placing items under the tank assembly 500.

[0105] In addition, with Figures 4 to 7 The structure shown is the same, and the drain outlet is also located at the lowest point of the internal space of the tank 510, so that the water tank assembly 500 of this disclosure can smoothly realize the drainage process.

[0106] See again Figures 1 to 3 The sink assembly 500 disclosed herein also includes a connector 570 and a drain pipe 580. The connector 570 is disposed in the sink body 510 and is connected to the drain outlet. The two ends of the drain pipe 580 are respectively connected to the connector 570 and the drain pipe. Thus, water in the sink body 510 can flow to the drain pipe through the connector 570 and the drain pipe 580 and be discharged through the drain pipe.

[0107] In one embodiment, the drain pipe 580 includes an S-shaped section, thereby enabling the sink assembly 500 of this disclosure to have an odor-proof function.

[0108] In the first implementation, the drain pipe 580 of this disclosure can be connected to the bottom of the connector 570, which is located at the bottom of the tank 510 and is set approximately vertically. Thus, the water discharged through the connector 570 can flow vertically downward to the drain pipe. Therefore, the sink assembly 500 of this disclosure can achieve rapid drainage based on the principle of gravity drainage. At the same time, the sink assembly 500 of this disclosure can also improve the problems of clogging and difficult cleaning and maintenance of sink assemblies used for bay windows.

[0109] In the second implementation, the drain pipe 580 can be connected to the bottom of the connector 570, and the connector 570 is set at an angle. At this time, the connector 570 can be connected to the lower side of the tank 510. Thus, the water discharged through the connector 570 can flow to the drain pipe 580 in an inclined downward state, and achieve rapid drainage based on the principle of gravity drainage.

[0110] In the third implementation, the drain pipe 580 can be connected to the side of the connector 570, which is located at the bottom of the tank 510 and is set approximately vertically. In this case, the water in the tank 510 can flow downward and be discharged to the connector 570, and then flow further to the drain pipe 580 through the through hole on the side wall of the connector 570, achieving rapid drainage based on the principle of gravity drainage.

[0111] Structurally, the drain pipe 580 of this disclosure may further include a first pipe section and a second pipe section, which can be connected by an S-shaped pipe section; both the first and second pipe sections are vertically arranged. In a first embodiment, the upper end of the first pipe section can be directly connected to the connector 570. In the second and third embodiments, the upper end of the first pipe section can be connected to the connector 570 through a connecting section 581, and the first pipe section and the connecting section 581 are smoothly connected, and the included angle between the first pipe section and the connecting section 581 is an obtuse angle.

[0112] Based on the above-described structure, at least a portion of the drain pipe 570 (e.g., the first and second pipe segments) can be located on the user-friendly side of the platform structure 200, i.e., on the side of the platform structure 200 away from the window 300. Thus, the drain pipe 580 of this disclosure can be easily cleaned and maintained.

[0113] It should also be noted that, unlike sinks in the prior art, the sink assembly of this disclosure has only one drain outlet. By restricting the position of this drain outlet, the sink assembly of this disclosure can be installed on a kitchen bay window, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the bay window. In particular, the height of the kitchen bay window is approximately 500mm. When the sink assembly is installed on the bay window, the upper surface of the sink assembly is approximately 850mm from the ground, allowing the user to use the sink assembly comfortably.

[0114] The water tank assembly 500 disclosed herein also includes a waterfall drain faucet 590, wherein an elongated groove is provided on the first side portion 511, the elongated groove extending in the same direction as the second direction (i.e., the length direction), and at least a portion of the waterfall drain faucet 590 extends from the elongated groove into the interior of the tank body 510 so that a waterfall-like water flow effect can be formed when the waterfall drain faucet 590 is opened.
