Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen equipment assembly technology, and specifically discloses an assembly structure for kitchen equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In modern kitchens, sinks and dish racks are two indispensable pieces of equipment. In most kitchen layouts, sinks are usually fixed in an opening in the countertop, while dish racks or drain baskets for draining dishes and storing utensils are placed as separate pieces of furniture next to the sink or in other empty spaces on the countertop.
[0003] This traditional split layout has the following drawbacks: First, the independent drain rack takes up the already limited countertop space, making the kitchen countertop look cluttered and crowded, especially in small kitchens, affecting the user's cooking experience and the aesthetics of the space. After washing, the dishes need to be moved from the sink to the drain rack next to it, which may result in water spillage and adds unnecessary steps. At the same time, its storage function is often limited to placing dishes, and it is inconvenient to store items with handles such as spatulas and cups. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model proposes an assembly structure for kitchen equipment that integrates the functions of a sink and a shelf to optimize space utilization. It has dual flexible height adjustment capabilities, is stably installed and has reliable load-bearing capacity. At the same time, it achieves flexible storage and retrieval through designs such as sliding hooks, and has strong overall adaptability and practicality.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an assembly structure for a kitchen appliance includes a countertop fixing plate and multiple support legs at its bottom. The countertop fixing plate is integrated with a sink assembly and a shelf assembly located above the sink assembly. The sink assembly includes a sink body, and the upper surface of the countertop fixing plate is provided with a sink placement opening. The sink body is embedded in the sink placement opening, and its top edge is provided with an outwardly folded supporting flange, which overlaps the upper surface of the countertop fixing plate surrounding the sink placement opening. The shelf assembly includes a pair of U-shaped fixing frames fixed to the left and right sides of the tabletop fixing plate, respectively. Each fixing frame has a vertical rod slidably connected inside. The two vertical rods have vertically extending cross-shaped sliding holes through their opposing side walls. Multiple sliders are slidably connected in each sliding hole. Two sliders at the same height form a group. Each set of sliders is provided with a locking structure that can lock it to the vertical rod; A support rod is fixedly connected between each pair of sliders. A dish rack is suspended on the outer wall of the upper support rod, and multiple slip rings are slidably fitted onto the outer wall of the lower support rod. A hook for hanging items is fixedly installed at the bottom of each slip ring.
[0006] As a preferred assembly structure for a kitchen device according to this utility model, the locking structure includes a threaded groove on the slider and a locking bolt. One end of the locking bolt is provided with a handwheel and screwed into the threaded groove. By tightening, the handwheel at its end is pressed against the side wall of the vertical rod.
[0007] As a preferred assembly structure for a kitchen device according to this utility model, the outer wall of the vertical rod has a threaded hole extending through it and located below the sliding hole. The outer wall of the fixing frame has a threaded screw rod with a handwheel extending through it and connected to it. One end of the screw rod is screwed into the threaded hole to lock and fix the vertical rod.
[0008] As a preferred assembly structure of a kitchen device according to this utility model, the bottom of the dish rack is fixedly installed with a U-shaped fixing frame, and the inside of the fixing frame is provided with a pull-out water receiving tray.
[0009] As a preferred assembly structure of a kitchen device according to this utility model, the dish rack is hung on the outer wall of the support rod by hooks on both sides.
[0010] As a preferred assembly structure for a kitchen device according to this utility model, both the sink assembly and the shelf assembly are made of stainless steel.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By integrating the sink assembly and the shelf assembly onto the same countertop fixed plate and arranging them vertically in a staggered manner, a compact and efficient work triangle is formed, which includes washing below, draining from the side and above, and storage in the same area. This changes the traditional kitchen model of placing the sink and the independent drain rack side by side, greatly saving valuable countertop work space, realizing the integration of washing, draining, and storage functions, optimizing the work flow, and improving the utilization rate and ease of use of the kitchen space.
[0012] 2. The vertical rod can slide up and down along the U-shaped fixed frame, and the screw engages with the threaded hole to achieve multi-level height locking, allowing the overall height of the shelf to be adjusted according to the user's height and the size of the items. Secondly, the slider drives the support rod to adjust the height steplessly along the cross-shaped sliding hole. With the friction locking structure of the locking bolt, the vertical position of the dish rack and hooks can be flexibly adjusted. Users can flexibly adjust the layer height of the dish rack and hooks according to the size of the items, usage habits and personal height. The sliding ring design of the hooks also supports stepless adjustment of the horizontal position, realizing personalized adaptation in three-dimensional space and meeting diverse storage needs.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.
[0017] Please see Figure 1-5 An assembly structure for a kitchen appliance includes a countertop fixing plate 1 and multiple support legs at its bottom. A sink assembly and a shelf assembly located above the sink assembly are integrated on the countertop fixing plate 1. The sink assembly includes a sink body 2, and a sink placement opening 101 is provided on the upper end surface of the countertop fixing plate 1. The sink body 2 is embedded in the sink placement opening 101, and its top edge is provided with an outwardly folded supporting flange. The supporting flange overlaps the upper surface of the countertop fixing plate 1 surrounding the sink placement opening 101. The shelving assembly includes a pair of U-shaped fixed frames 3 fixed to the left and right sides of the tabletop fixed plate 1 respectively. Each fixed frame 3 has a vertical rod 4 slidably connected inside. The two vertical rods 4 have vertically extending cross-shaped sliding holes 401 through the side walls facing each other. Multiple sliders 5 are slidably connected in each sliding hole 401. Two sliders 5 at the same height form a group. Each set of sliders 5 is equipped with a locking structure that can lock them onto the vertical rod 4; A support rod 6 is fixedly connected between each pair of sliders 5. A dish rack 7 is suspended on the outer wall of the upper support rod 6, and multiple slip rings 8 are slidably fitted on the outer wall of the lower support rod 6. A hook 801 for hanging items is fixedly installed at the bottom of each slip ring 8.
[0018] In this embodiment: the sink body 2 is lowered into the sink placement opening 101 on the countertop. The outward-folding support flange at the top ensures the stability and load-bearing capacity of the installation. The two vertical rods 4 can slide up and down within the U-shaped fixing frames 3 on both sides, thereby changing the overall height of the entire shelf from the countertop fixing plate 1 and the sink body 2. By screwing the screw 301 with a handwheel on the side of the fixing frame 3, its end is screwed into the threaded hole 402 at the corresponding height on the vertical rod 4. This threaded pin locking provides a rigid mechanical stop, which can firmly fix the vertical rod 4 and prevent it from sliding down due to the weight above. The cross-shaped sliding hole 401 on the vertical rod 4 provides precise vertical sliding for the slider 5. The height of the support rod 6 can be infinitely adjusted by moving the slider 5 along the track. By tightening the locking bolt 502 on the slider 5, the handwheel at its end presses against the side wall of the vertical rod 4, generating a huge frictional force, thereby locking the slider 5 at the desired height. This allows the dish rack 7 and hooks 801 to be flexibly arranged according to the size of the items. Washed dishes can be arranged in the dish rack 7, and items such as spoons, spatulas, and cups can be hung on the hooks 801 at the bottom of the sliding ring 8. The sliding ring 8 can slide horizontally on the support rod 6, making it easy to adjust the spacing and position, achieving flexible storage and integrating the functions of washing, draining, and storage. This optimizes the operation flow and improves the utilization rate and convenience of kitchen space.
[0019] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the locking structure includes a threaded groove 501 opened on the slider 5 and a locking bolt 502. One end of the locking bolt 502 is provided with a handwheel and screwed into the threaded groove 501. By tightening, the handwheel at its end is pressed against the side wall of the vertical rod 4.
[0020] In this embodiment: when it is necessary to adjust the height of the slider 5 in the cross-shaped sliding hole 401 of the vertical rod 4, the locking bolt 502 can be loosened first, so that the handwheel is disengaged from the tight contact with the side wall of the vertical rod 4, thereby releasing the friction lock. The slider 5 can then slide freely along the sliding hole 401. After adjusting to the desired position, the locking bolt 502 is tightened, and the handwheel at its end is pressed against the side wall of the vertical rod 4. Through the huge static friction force generated, the slider 5 can be firmly locked in this position to prevent it from shifting during load-bearing or use.
[0021] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the vertical rod 4 is provided with a threaded hole 402 located below the sliding hole 401. The outer wall of the fixing frame 3 is provided with a screw 301 with a handwheel, which is threaded through and connected to the frame. One end of the screw 301 is screwed into the threaded hole 402 to lock and fix the vertical rod 4.
[0022] In this embodiment, the user can unscrew the screw 301 outward by holding the handwheel, causing its end to exit the current threaded hole 402 of the vertical rod 4, thereby releasing the lock on the vertical rod 4. At this time, the vertical rod 4 can be pulled up and down to change its overall height to adapt to different needs. When another threaded hole 402 on the vertical rod 4 is aligned with the screw 301, the screw 301 is screwed inward, causing its end to screw into the threaded hole 402 until the handwheel is pressed against the outer wall of the fixing frame 3. Through this mechanical interlocking method of threaded engagement, the vertical rod 4 is rigidly connected to the fixing frame 3, achieving stable fixation of the vertical rod 4 at multiple preset height positions.
[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a U-shaped fixing frame 701 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the dish rack 7, and a pull-out water receiving tray 702 is provided inside the fixing frame 701.
[0024] In this embodiment: Water droplets draining from the dish rack 7 fall downwards under the influence of gravity. A U-shaped bracket 701 is fixed to the bottom of the rack, forming a support track and collection space. A drip tray 702 placed inside catches all falling droplets and small splashes, preventing water from directly contaminating the countertop or items below. When the drip tray 702 accumulates a certain amount of water, the user can pull it horizontally out of the U-shaped bracket 701 like a drawer, empty the water, clean it, and then push it back into place.
[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the dish rack 7 is hung on the outer wall of the support rod 6 by the hooks on both sides.
[0026] In this embodiment: the hanging ears on both sides of the dish rack 7 cross the support rod 6 and hang down naturally under the action of gravity, so that the inner side or top hook-shaped part of the hanging ear overlaps with the outer wall of the support rod 6, so that when the basket bears the weight of the dishes, the force is directly transmitted to the support rod 6 through the hanging ear, and the connection is stable and reliable.
[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, both the sink assembly and the shelf assembly are made of stainless steel.
[0028] In this embodiment: Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and rust prevention properties, enabling it to withstand the erosion of water, detergents, oil stains, etc. in the kitchen environment for a long time, ensuring structural durability and preventing rust contamination. Its smooth and dense surface does not easily adhere to dirt, making it easy to clean and wipe, meeting kitchen hygiene requirements.
[0029] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: The equipment uses the countertop fixing plate 1 as the supporting base, and integrates the sink assembly (washing area) and the shelf assembly (drainage and storage area) in a staggered manner in vertical space (the shelf assembly is located above the side of the sink body 2). The sink body 2 is placed into the sink placement opening 101 opened on the countertop to achieve initial horizontal positioning. The outward folding support flange at the top directly overlaps the surface of the countertop fixing plate 1. The load is directly transferred to the solid countertop through this flange, ensuring the stability and load-bearing capacity of the installation (to increase the stability of the sink body 2 and prevent water leakage from the edge of the sink body 2, sealant can be used to seal the edge of the sink body 2 and the countertop fixing plate 1). The water outlet pipe of the sink body 2 is connected to the drain pipe through a pipe. The sink body 2 can be used to wash food. The two vertical rods 4 can slide up and down within the U-shaped fixing frames 3 on both sides, thereby changing the overall height of the entire shelf (including all support rods 6, dish rack 7, and hooks 801) from the countertop fixing plate 1 and the sink body 2. By screwing the screw 301 with a handwheel on the side of the fixing frame 3, its end is screwed into the threaded hole 402 at the corresponding height on the vertical rod 4. This threaded pin locking provides a rigid mechanical stop, which can firmly fix the vertical rod 4 and prevent it from sliding down due to the weight above. The cross-shaped sliding hole 401 on the vertical rod 4 provides a precise vertical sliding track for the slider 5. The two rods at the same height can slide up and down within the U-shaped fixing frame 3 on both sides. Each slider 5 forms a group, connected to and supporting a horizontal support rod 6. Moving the slider 5 allows for stepless adjustment of the height of the support rod 6. Tightening the locking bolt 502 on the slider 5 causes the handwheel at its end to press against the side wall of the vertical rod 4, generating significant friction and locking the slider 5 (and support rod 6) at the desired height. This allows the dish rack 7 and hooks 801 to be arranged flexibly according to the size of the items. Washed dishes can be arranged in the dish rack 7, which is hung on the support rod 6 via hooks on both sides. Water dripping from the dishes passes through the bottom of the rack and is caught by a pull-out drip tray 702 directly below. The drip tray 702 is placed on a U-shaped bracket 701 and can be pulled out like a drawer to empty and wash water, keeping the countertop mounting plate 1 dry. Items such as spoons, spatulas, and cups can be hung on hooks 801 at the bottom of the sliding ring 8. The sliding ring 8 can slide horizontally on the support rod 6, allowing for easy adjustment of spacing and position for flexible storage.
