Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handwashing station technology, and in particular to a concealed handwashing station. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of society and the economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for the aesthetics, comfort, and functionality of residential and public spaces are increasing. As an indispensable basic washing facility in daily life, the design and spatial layout of the washbasin directly affect the user experience and the overall visual effect of the environment. Traditional washbasins typically consist of a ceramic or artificial stone basin with a faucet and a floor-standing cabinet or fixed base supporting it. While this freestanding structural design has a clear function, it suffers from significant space efficiency problems: its large volume (especially the cabinet with storage functions) occupies floor space, compressing the effective activity area of ​​the toilet or wash area, making the space feel cramped. This problem is particularly prominent in places with high requirements for space utilization and visual appeal, such as boutique hotels, small apartments, high-end commercial spaces, or outdoor scenic area service facilities.

[0003] Most washbasin products are still primarily designed for freestanding placement or simple wall mounting, lacking clever, integrated, built-in or concealed design concepts. This often results in the washbasin appearing visually as a prominent "add-on," difficult to blend into the surrounding environment. Without a clever integration with the wall or cabinet, the washbasin lacks concealment. Therefore, further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] 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 concealed handwashing station.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a concealed washbasin, including: an outer shell and a washbasin rotating component that can rotatably install the outer shell;

[0006] The outer casing is embedded in the wall or cabinet, and has an open opening on the front side; the rotating component of the washbasin includes a front panel and a wash basin, faucet and drainage components that can move synchronously with the front panel.

[0007] The front panel is rotatably mounted to the outer casing; the front panel can be rotated to the open position and conceal the washbasin, faucet and drainage assembly inside the outer casing; or, the front panel can be rotated to the outside of the open position and expose the washbasin and faucet outside the open position.

[0008] Optionally, the front panel and the lower part of the outer casing are provided with a matching rotating connection hole; a rotating component passes through the rotating connection hole so that the lower part of the front panel is rotatably mounted on the outer casing.

[0009] Optionally, the outer casing is provided with a rotation limit pin to limit the rotation angle of the front panel.

[0010] Optionally, the washbasin is located above the back side of the front panel.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By completely rotating and housing the washbasin, faucet, and drainage components within the wall-mounted / cabinet outer casing when not in use, and closing the front panel at the open opening, the main body of the washbasin achieves both "visual disappearance" and "physical relocation." This significantly reduces the fixed floor space occupied, effectively freeing up floor space and significantly expanding the user's activity range. It is especially suitable for space-constrained boutique hotel rooms, small apartment bathrooms, and scenic area service points, improving space utilization and comfort. The rotating component design allows the washbasin to easily switch between "use state" and "hidden state." This on-demand display mode not only meets basic washing needs but also maximizes the purity and openness of the space when not in use.

[0018] The washbasin's housing is embedded in a cabinet or wall; the housing is equipped with a rotating washbasin, faucet, drain, and a flip-up module for the panel; the flip-up module can be flipped relative to the housing as a whole, hiding the washbasin, faucet, and drain inside the housing, and the cover can conceal the housing and seamlessly transition with the cabinet or wall.

[0031] Example

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The present invention proposes a concealed washbasin, comprising: an outer casing 10 and a washbasin rotating component on which the outer casing 10 is rotatably mounted;

[0033] The outer casing 10 is embedded in the wall or cabinet, and an open opening 11 is provided on the front side; the rotating components of the washbasin include a front panel 20 and a wash basin 30, a faucet 40 and a drainage component 50 that can move synchronously with the front panel 20.

[0034] The front panel 20 is rotatably mounted on the outer casing 10; the front panel 20 can be rotated to the open position 11, and the washbasin 30, faucet 40 and drainage assembly 50 are concealed and housed inside the outer casing 10; or, the front panel 20 can be rotated to the outside of the open position 11, and the washbasin 30 and faucet 40 are exposed outside the open position 11.

[0035] In this invention, the washbasin 30, faucet 40, and drainage assembly 50 are completely rotated and housed within the wall-mounted / cabinet outer casing 10 when not in use, and the front panel 20 is closed at the open opening 11, achieving both "visual disappearance" and "physical relocation" of the washbasin body. This significantly reduces the fixed floor space occupied, effectively freeing up floor space and significantly expanding the user's activity range. It is particularly suitable for space-constrained boutique hotel rooms, small apartment bathrooms, scenic area service points, and other places, improving space utilization and comfort. The rotating component design allows the washbasin to easily switch between "use state" and "hidden state." This on-demand display mode not only meets basic washing needs but also maximizes the purity and openness of the space when not in use.

[0036] In this embodiment, the front panel 20 and the outer casing 10 are provided with a matching rotating connection hole 60 at their bottom; a rotating component passes through the rotating connection hole 60 to allow the bottom of the front panel 20 to be rotatably mounted on the outer casing 10. Bottom rotating support: through the cooperation of the bottom rotating connection hole 60 and the rotating component, the front panel 20 is ensured to have stable load-bearing capacity and to avoid structural deformation; concealed mechanical design: the rotating component is built-in, maintaining visual integrity in the closed state, and there are no exposed hinges that would detract from the aesthetics.

[0037] In this embodiment, the outer casing 10 is provided with a rotation limit pin 12 to limit the rotation angle of the front panel 20. The limit pin precisely controls the opening and closing angles of the front panel 20, preventing excessive flipping that could lead to collisions or pipe pulling; it also ensures that the washbasin 30 is stably positioned in the optimal usage position when opened, improving operational safety.

[0038] In this embodiment, the washbasin 30 is positioned above the back of the front panel 20. The washbasin 30's placement above the back of the front panel 20 utilizes gravity to enhance its self-resetting tendency during rotation and closure; its elevated position avoids interference with the drainage assembly 50 and improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the outer casing 10.

[0039] In this embodiment, the back of the washbasin 30 extends upward to form a back plate 31; the faucet 40 is installed above the back plate 31; and the drain assembly 50 is installed below the washbasin 30. The faucet 40 is installed high on the back plate 31 to avoid exposing the pipes; the drain assembly 50 is hidden at a low position to conform to the natural flow direction of fluid.

[0040] Specifically, the washbasin 30 includes a back panel 31, a bottom panel 32, side panels 33, and a front panel 34, all integrally fixed to the back panel 31; the front panel 34 is fixed to the upper back side of the front panel 20. The back panel 31, bottom panel 32, side panels 33, and front panel 34 are integrally formed, eliminating the risk of water leakage at the joints; the front panel 34 is fixed to the front panel 20, evenly distributing the user's pressing force to the overall frame, extending its lifespan.

[0041] In this embodiment, an "L"-shaped inner pressure flange 35 is provided on the upper part of the back panel 31; when the front panel 20 is opened to the outside of the opening 11, the front side of the inner pressure flange 35 can abut against the rotation limit pin 12. Without the need for additional positioning structures, the L-shaped flange formed by stamping at the top of the back panel 31 increases the contact area, disperses the impact force during rotation and closure, and reduces noise and wear.

[0042] In this embodiment, an outer frame 13 is provided on the outer edge of the opening 11; the outer frame 13 can be embedded in the wall or cabinet; when the front panel 20 can be rotated to the position of the opening 11, the front panel 20 can be flush with the outer frame 13. The outer frame 13 serves as a transition structure, solving the tolerance problem of the wall / cabinet opening and ensuring that the front panel 20 is completely flush with the surrounding area after being closed; the pre-embedded design of the outer frame simplifies the on-site construction process and reduces structural damage to the wall.

[0043] In this embodiment, the height of the front panel 20 is lower than the height of the opening 11; when the front panel 20 can be rotated to the position of the opening 11, a spacer cavity is formed between the top of the front panel 20 and the top of the outer casing 10. The spacer cavity forms a top air duct to prevent moisture accumulation and mold growth inside the casing; in addition, the spacer cavity also provides space for a handle, allowing users to easily push and pull the front panel 20 through the spacer cavity.

[0044] In this embodiment, one or more of the outer casing 10, washbasin 30, and front panel 20 are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is resistant to the high humidity of the bathroom environment and is lighter than ceramic or artificial stone basins, resulting in a more rational overall weight distribution of the washbasin's rotating components.

[0045] 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.
