[0002] Kitchen drains are an important part of the kitchen drainage system, playing a crucial role in discharging wastewater (such as water from washing vegetables, dishes, and cleaning) into the sewage pipes. Kitchen drains connect to drainage devices such as kitchen sinks, dishwashers, and floor drains, ultimately guiding wastewater to outdoor sewage tanks. Kitchen drain visualization devices are an innovative design primarily used in kitchen drainage systems to help users visually observe the inside of the drain, facilitating timely detection and resolution of problems such as blockages and dirt buildup. Existing drain visualization devices mainly use glass.

[0003] In existing technologies, due to the limited standard of glass, when glass needs to be installed on sinks of varying widths, it is necessary to cut the glass according to the specific width of the sink to make it fit the sink. This results in a large waste of glass material, as the cut-off portion is usually not effectively utilized, reducing its adaptability and failing to flexibly meet the needs of various sink sizes. This not only increases installation costs and time but may also affect the overall strength and aesthetics of the glass due to improper cutting. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the kitchen drain visualization device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problem that existing glass specifications are relatively uniform, when glass needs to be installed on sinks of varying widths, it is necessary to cut the glass according to the specific width of the sink to make its width suitable for the sink.

[0009] Preferably, the inner frame has a matching groove at the corresponding position of the limiting plate, and the limiting plate slides in the groove of the inner frame.

[0010] Preferably, the height of the square block is set to be the same as that of the fixed frame.

[0011] Preferably, a sliding block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the inner frame, and the sliding block is slidably connected inside the fixed frame.

[0012] Preferably, the fixed frame has a matching limiting groove at the corresponding position of the sliding block, and the sliding block slides within the limiting groove of the fixed frame.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a kitchen drain visualization device, including a glass body 1, a fixed frame 21 fixedly connected to the outside of the glass body 1, an inner frame 22 slidably connected inside the fixed frame 21, a square block 24 fixedly connected to the outside of the inner frame 22, a locking block 25 slidably connected inside the inner frame 22, a limiting plate 26 fixedly connected to the inside of the locking block 25, a reinforcing spring 27 fixedly connected between the limiting plate 26 and the inner frame 22, and an installation assembly disposed on the inner frame 22. The locking block 25 is engaged inside the fixed frame 21, and the limiting plate 26 slides. Connected inside the inner frame 22, the glass body 1 is installed in the water tank via the mounting assembly. By adjusting the two side clips 25 according to the width of the water tank, they are engaged with the corresponding slots of the fixing frame 21, thereby adjusting the extension length of the inner frame 22 on both sides. This allows the glass body 1 to be installed on water tanks of different widths without the need for cutting the glass body 1, thus improving its adaptability. The mounting assembly uses hexagonal socket head cap screws 32 to install the glass body 1 on the water tank, making it easy to observe the inside of the water tank through the glass body 1, thus improving the practicality of the glass body 1.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4In this embodiment, two sets of fixing frames 21 are provided, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the glass body 1, facilitating the adjustment of the extension length of the inner frames 22 on both sides, thereby adapting to water tanks of different widths and improving the adaptability of the glass body 1. The fixing frames 21 have corresponding grooves at corresponding positions on the inner frames 22, allowing the inner frames 22 to slide within the grooves of the fixing frames 21, thus improving the extension stability of the inner frames 22 and enhancing its practicality for water tanks of different widths, thereby improving the overall practicality of the device. The fixing frames 21 are designed for... The corresponding position of block 25 is provided with a matching slot, and several sets of slots are provided. These sets of slots are distributed sequentially inside the fixed frame 21. Block 25 is engaged with the slot inside the fixed frame 21. By engaging the corresponding slot inside the fixed frame 21, it is easy to fix. The inner frame 22 is provided with a matching groove at the corresponding position of the limiting plate 26. The limiting plate 26 slides in the groove of the inner frame 22 to limit the stroke of block 25, prevent block 25 from disengaging from the inner frame 22, and raise block 25. The stability of the locking mechanism is improved, and the locking of the locking block 25 is enhanced when the square block 24 is not moved forcefully, thus improving the practicality of the device. The height of the square block 24 is set to be the same as that of the fixed frame 21, which improves the stability of the installation when installing the glass body 1, thus improving the performance of the glass body 1. A sliding block 23 is fixedly connected to the outside of the inner frame 22. The sliding block 23 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed frame 21. By adjusting the width of the water tank, the locking blocks 25 on both sides are locked into the corresponding slots of the fixed frame 21. This allows the extension length of the inner frames 22 on both sides to be adjusted, thereby allowing the glass body 1 to be installed on water tanks of different widths without the need to cut the glass body 1, thus improving the adaptability of the glass body 1. The fixed frame 21 has a matching limiting groove at the corresponding position of the sliding block 23. The sliding block 23 slides in the limiting groove of the fixed frame 21, thereby limiting the stroke of the inner frame 22 and preventing the inner frame 22 from detaching from the fixed frame 21, thus improving the stability of the extension of the inner frame 22 and improving the adaptability of the glass body 1.

[0028] Please see Figure 5 - Figure 6 In this embodiment, the mounting assembly includes a through hole 31 on the inner frame 22, an internal hexagon bolt 32 disposed inside the through hole 31, and a washer 33 disposed between the internal hexagon bolt 32 and the inner frame 22. The glass body 1 is mounted on the water tank by the internal hexagon bolt 32, making it convenient to observe the inside of the water tank through the glass body 1, thereby improving the practicality of the glass body 1. The inner frame 22 has a matching storage hole at the corresponding position of the internal hexagon bolt 32. The internal hexagon bolt 32 is disposed in the storage hole of the inner frame 22, so that after the glass body 1 is installed, the internal hexagon bolt 32 is not higher than the glass body 1, so as not to affect the normal walking of pedestrians, thereby improving the practicality of the glass body 1.

[0029] During operation, by moving the square blocks 24 on both sides outward according to the width of the water tank, the anti-slip grooves on the square blocks 24 facilitate the removal of the inner frame 22 from the inside of the fixed frame 21. The sliding block 23 fixedly connected to the outside of the inner frame 22 limits the stroke of the inner frame 22, preventing it from detaching from the fixed frame 21. When the inner frame 22 is pulled outward with force, the slot inside the fixed frame 21 contacts the arc end of the locking block 25, causing the locking block 25 to slide inward towards the inner side of the inner frame 22, compressing the reinforcing spring 27. When the locking block 25 enters another slot, the compressed reinforcing spring 27 drives the limiting plate 26 and the locking block 25 to reset, locking them into the slot inside the fixed frame 21. The limiting plate 26 slides in the corresponding slot of the inner frame 22, limiting the stroke of the locking block 25 and preventing jamming. Block 25 is detached from the inner frame 22. The width of the water tank is adjusted so that the two side locking blocks 25 are engaged with the corresponding locking slots of the fixing frame 21, thereby adjusting the extension length of the inner frame 22 on both sides. Then, the washer 33 is put on the hexagon socket bolt 32, and the hexagon socket bolt 32 with the washer 33 is aligned with the through hole 31 inside the inner frame 22 and inserted. The hexagon socket bolt 32 is used to install the glass body 1 directly above the water tank. The height of the two square blocks 24 is the same as that of the glass body 1, which improves the stability of the installation. The material of the glass body 1 is plexiglass. The light transmittance of plexiglass can reach more than 92%, which is similar to that of ordinary glass, but it is lighter and less shattery than ordinary glass. Compared with ordinary glass, plexiglass has better impact resistance and good durability, making the glass body 1 sturdy and durable, with good transparency, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0030] Through the above steps, by adjusting the two side clips 25 according to the width of the water tank and engaging them with the corresponding slots of the fixed frame 21, the extension length of the two side inner frames 22 is adjusted, thereby allowing the glass body 1 to be installed on water tanks of different widths without the need to cut the glass body 1. This improves the adaptability of the glass body 1 and solves the problem that the existing glass specifications are relatively simple, and when it is necessary to install the glass on water tanks of different widths, it is necessary to cut the glass according to the specific width of the water tank to make its width match the water tank.
