The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0032] As mentioned in the background section, existing faucets are fixed to the countertop and cannot be concealed in conjunction with the sink. When the sink is concealed, the faucet remains exposed, making it unusable independently and taking up countertop space.

[0033] In view of this, please refer to Figure 1 The concealed sink platform provided in the embodiments of this utility model can solve this problem, and it will be described in detail below.

[0034] An embodiment of this utility model provides a concealed sink platform, comprising:

[0035] Cabinet 100, the cabinet 100 includes a countertop 110, the countertop 110 having an inlet and outlet 110a;

[0036] An integrated sink assembly 200 includes a sink 210, a faucet 220, and a fixing plate 230. The sink 210 has its opening 210a facing upwards and is opposite to the inlet / outlet 110a. The fixing plate 230 is connected to the sink 210 and has the faucet 220 mounted on it. The faucet 220 is located above the sink 210 and is opposite to the opening 210a of the sink 210.

[0037] A lifting assembly 300 is connected to the integrated water tank assembly 200, and the lifting assembly 300 drives the integrated water tank assembly 200 to move up and down.

[0038] A cover plate 400 is provided on the table panel 110 in a manner that allows the inlet and outlet 110a to be opened and closed.

[0039] Through the coordinated design of the integrated sink assembly 200, the lifting component 300, and the concealed cover 400, the sink 210 and the faucet 220 are able to be concealed together. Driven by the lifting component 300, the integrated sink assembly 200 can switch between concealed and usable states.

[0040] In the concealed state of the integrated sink assembly 200, the cover plate 400 closes the inlet / outlet 110a, and the integrated sink assembly 200 is hidden beneath the cover plate 400. At this time, the cover plate 400 and the cover plate 400 together serve as a countertop, and since the drain faucet 220 is completely hidden beneath the cover plate 400, more countertop space is freed up.

[0041] When the integrated sink assembly 200 is in use, the cover 400 opens the inlet / outlet 110a, and the faucet 220 is positioned above the countertop 110. At this time, the faucet 220 can be turned on to use the sink 210.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cabinet 100 can be constructed using aluminum profiles or similar materials, and is equipped with a countertop 110, a base plate 120, and side panels 130. The integrated sink assembly 200 and the lifting assembly 300 are disposed in the space between the countertop 110 and the base plate 120, and are surrounded by the side panels 130. There can be multiple side panels 130, with at least one side panel 130 rotatably disposed between the countertop 110 and the base plate 120. By opening the side panel 130, items can be placed into the space between the countertop 110 and the base plate 120. The other side panels 130 are fixed between the countertop 110 and the base plate 120.

[0043] The cabinet 100 also includes a support plate 140, which is disposed at the bottom of the base plate 120, that is, the support plate 140 is supported on the ground to raise the countertop 110 of the cabinet 100.

[0044] refer to Figure 3The cabinet 100 is provided with an inspection port 131, and an inspection door 132 is correspondingly provided on the inspection port 131. After opening the inspection door 132, maintenance personnel can perform maintenance on the lifting assembly 300 and other components through the inspection port 131.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the inlet / outlet 110a is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the slot 210a, so that the slot 210a of the water tank 210 and the faucet 220 connected thereto can pass through the inlet / outlet 110a and rise above the countertop 110.

[0046] In this embodiment, the inlet / outlet 110a and the slot 210a have different shapes. For example, the inlet / outlet 110a is square, while the slot 210a is circular.

[0047] In another embodiment, the inlet / outlet 110a has the same shape as the trough 210a. For example, the trough 210 is hemispherical, and both the trough 210a and the inlet / outlet 110a are circular.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixing plate 230 includes a fixing horizontal plate 231 and a fixing vertical plate 232. The fixing horizontal plate 231 is connected between the slot 210a and the fixing vertical plate 232, and the faucet 220 is provided on the fixing vertical plate 232.

[0049] The fixed vertical plate 232 is located around the groove 210a and together with the fixed horizontal plate 231 forms a fixed plate 230 with an L-shaped cross section, thereby improving the bending stiffness of the integrated water tank assembly 200.

[0050] The faucet 220 is provided on the inner surface of the fixed vertical plate 232 so that the faucet 220 is located above the water tank 210 and the water outlet of the faucet 220 is opposite to the opening 210a of the water tank 210. When the faucet 220 is opened, the water flowing out flows into the opposite water tank 210.

[0051] The fixing plate 230 at least partially surrounds the opening 210a of the water tank 210. The opening 210a of the water tank 210 is circular with an arc of 360°, and the arc of the fixing plate 230 is sufficient to accommodate the installation of the faucet 220. In other embodiments, the fixing plate 230 completely surrounds the opening 210a of the water tank 210, in which case the arc of the fixing plate 230 is 360°, which can prevent water flowing from the faucet 220 from splashing out.

[0052] refer to Figure 1The groove opening 210a of the water tank 210 extends outward to form a horizontal plate 211. The horizontal plate 211 can be disposed on the upper surface of the fixed horizontal plate 231, and the two can be fixed together by screws or other means. A sealing gasket can also be provided between the horizontal plate 211 and the fixed horizontal plate 231 to ensure the airtightness between them. The horizontal plate 211 and the fixed horizontal plate 231 can be integrally connected, that is, the water tank 210 and the fixed plate 230 are integrally formed.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the lifting assembly 300 includes:

[0054] Two supports 310 are located on both sides of the integrated sink assembly 200. Each support 310 includes an upper X-shaped support 311 and a lower X-shaped support 312. The upper front end and upper rear end of the upper X-shaped support 311 are respectively hinged to the integrated sink assembly 200 via hinge shafts. The lower front end of the lower X-shaped support 312 is hinged to the bottom plate 120 of the cabinet 100 via a hinge shaft. The lower rear end of the lower X-shaped support 312 is hinged to the bottom plate 120 of the cabinet 100 via a hinge shaft and is movable on the bottom plate 120.

[0055] The hydraulic cylinder is disposed between the upper X-shaped bracket 311 and the lower X-shaped bracket 312.

[0056] The integrated water tank assembly 200 is raised and lowered by a hydraulic cylinder and two supports 310 working together. The specific structure and working principle of the lifting assembly 300 can be found in patent document CN222218077U, and will not be described in detail here.

[0057] In this embodiment, the opening 210a of the water tank 210 is circular, and a square frame 320 is provided below the opening 210a. The square frame 320 is specifically fixed to the lower surface of the fixing cross plate 231 of the fixing plate 230. A circular hole is opened in the center of the square frame 320 for arranging the hemispherical water tank 210. Two supports 310 are respectively arranged on both sides of the square frame 320. The upper front end and upper rear end of the upper X-shaped support 311 are respectively hinged to the lower surface of the square frame 320 through hinge shafts. At this time, the inlet and outlet 110a of the tabletop 110 can accommodate the passage of the square frame 320. The inlet and outlet 110a, the square frame 320, and the cover plate 400 are all square.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the concealed sink platform also includes:

[0059] A drain pipe 500 is located below the water tank 210 and is connected to the bottom of the water tank 210. The drain pipe 500 is retractable.

[0060] The upper end of the drain pipe 500 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 210, and the lower end of the drain pipe 500 is connected to a water outlet on the ground, so that the water in the water tank 210 is discharged through the drain pipe 500. The drain pipe 500 is telescopic to accommodate the raising and lowering of the water tank 210.

[0061] Similarly, the water inlet pipe connected to the faucet 220 is also retractable. The water inlet pipe can pass through the fixed horizontal plate 231, that is, the water inlet pipe is located within the area enclosed by the fixed plate 230, so as to follow the integrated water tank assembly 200 through the inlet / outlet 110a. In addition, a sealing ring can be added between the water inlet pipe and the fixed horizontal plate 231, etc.

[0062] To further explain, the drain pipe 500 and the inlet pipe are respectively located between the two supports 310, and the folding and unfolding of the two supports 310 will not affect the use of the drain pipe 500 and the inlet pipe.

[0063] The lifting height of the integrated sink assembly 200 can be selected according to usage requirements. In this embodiment, the height of the countertop 110 can be 80-90cm, with the specific height selected according to the user's height. The integrated sink assembly 200 is raised 10-15cm relative to the countertop 110 to ensure comfortable operation.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cover plate 400 and the tabletop 110 can be connected by sliding, flipping or other means.

[0065] Taking sliding as an example, the cover plate 400 can be translated relative to the table panel 110 to open or close the inlet / outlet 110a on the table panel 110.

[0066] The cover plate 400 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the tabletop 110, and a hidden groove 111 is provided below the cover plate 400. The hidden groove 111 is opposite to the cover plate 400, and the cover plate 400 can slide at least partially into the hidden groove 111. The portion of the cover plate 400 that does not slide into the hidden groove 111 has a smaller width to allow the cover plate 400 to be pulled out of the hidden groove 111. Of course, the cover plate 400 can be driven by a cylinder to achieve automatic movement.

[0067] It should be noted that, in the concealed state of the integrated sink assembly 200, the cover plate 400 is located between the integrated sink assembly 200 and the countertop 110.

[0068] refer to Figure 3 The two sides of the cover plate 400 are connected to the table panel 110 via guide rails 600 to improve the stability of the movement of the cover plate 400.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, the cover plate 400 has a plurality of holes 410. When liquid is spilled on the cover plate 400, the liquid can flow into the water tank 210 below through the holes 410.

[0070] The procedure for switching the concealed sink from a concealed state to a usable state is as follows:

[0071] The cover plate 400 can be pushed open manually or automatically to expose the inlet and outlet 110a on the cover plate 400;

[0072] The lifting assembly 300 can be activated by buttons or the like on the tabletop 110, so that the lifting assembly 300 can raise the integrated sink assembly 200 relative to the tabletop 110 by 10-15cm.

[0073] Turn on the faucet 220 of the integrated sink assembly 200 to use the sink 210.

[0074] The procedure for switching the concealed sink from its active state to its concealed state is as follows:

[0075] The lifting assembly 300 is activated by the buttons on the tabletop 110, and the lifting assembly 300 moves the integrated sink assembly 200 to below the tabletop 110.

[0076] The cover plate 400 can be pushed manually or automatically to close the inlet / outlet 110a on the cover plate 400.

[0077] In summary, through the coordinated design of the integrated sink assembly 200, the lifting component 300, and the concealed cover 400, the sink 210 and faucet 220 are able to be concealed together. Driven by the lifting component 300, the integrated sink assembly 200 can switch between concealed and usable states. In the concealed state, the cover 400 closes the inlet / outlet 110a, and the sink 210 and faucet 220 are completely hidden beneath the cover 400, freeing up more countertop space.
