Description

Kitchen sinks {SINK FOR KITCHEN}

The present invention relates to a kitchen sink that is embedded in a kitchen cabinet such as a system kitchen.

Conventionally, in a kitchen, a sink is integrally built in a kitchen cabinet. In such a sink, cooking of a cooking material and washing of a tableware are performed. For example, in the kitchen sink disclosed in Patent Document 1, the bottom surface of the sink is inclined so that the side of the sink is lowered. As a result, the water at the time of cleaning flows to the bottom surface of the sink toward the drain port, so that the drainage can be improved and the workability can be further improved.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-13101

In the conventional kitchen sink, as generally described in the above-described Patent Document 1, the bottom surface is inclined toward the drain hole, and the sink bottom surface has a slope of the induced shape centering on the drain hole. Here, when the cooking of the plant material or the cleaning of the tableware is performed in the sink, the food residue adhered to the tableware, the vegetable residue of the planting material at the time of cooking (hereinafter referred to as vegetable residue) occurs.

At this time, if the bottom surface of the sink is inclined toward the drain hole as in the conventional case, the vegetable residue on the side of the drainage port rather than the water outlet position from the faucet flows to the drainage port by the flow of water at the time of cleaning, but the vegetable residue The back stays there. In addition, in the conventional sink, the drain hole is disposed on the inner side of the sink. However, vegetable residue is deposited on the front side of the sink by cooking. Therefore, stagnation such as vegetable residue occurs almost every time. As a result, the user has to scoop up the collected vegetable residue, etc., by hand, and to flow it to the drain hole, resulting in troublesome work. Further, if vegetable residue or the like is likely to stay, contaminants tend to adhere, which requires troublesome cleaning and deteriorates the cleaning property.

In view of these problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sink for kitchen which is less susceptible to stagnation of vegetables and the like on the bottom surface of the sink, and can improve the comfort and cleanliness of the user.

In order to solve the above problems, a representative structure of a kitchen sink according to the present invention is a kitchen sink comprising: an inclined surface inclined downwardly from an inner side toward a front side; a drain hole disposed along a side edge of the inclined surface; And an induction groove extending along the side edge from the rim to the drain hole.

According to the above configuration, the bottom surface of the sink is not a drain hole but a substantially flat inclination toward the guide groove along the rim of the front side. The term " substantially flat " is ideally flat. However, the term " roughly flat " includes flattening in a slightly elongated shape or a curved shape in a north- As shown in FIG. In the following description, "roughly flat" is simply referred to as "flat".

The inclined plane is flattened as described above, so that the water jetting position from the faucet is positioned on the upstream side of the inclination of the bottom face, as compared with the area on the sink front side where vegetable residue or the like is generated. Therefore, the vegetable residue or the like flows down toward the guide groove by the water flow flowing on the inclined surface which is the bottom surface of the sink. Further, since the bottom surface is a flat inclination, a flow of water flows in a wider area than in the case of a warp of the induced shape.

Then, the vegetable residue that has reached the guide groove flows toward the drain hole by the water introduced into the guide groove. Therefore, for example, vegetable residue is naturally flowed down by the flow of washing the dish, and the cleaning of the vegetable residue etc. is finished when the dish is washed. Therefore, the user does not have to perform a task of scraping off the vegetable residue as in the prior art, and troublesome labor is omitted, and high comfort can be obtained. Further, the retention of the vegetable residue or the like is prevented, so that adhesion of contaminants to the sink bottom surface is prevented, and the clean state is always maintained. As a result, the sink can be easily cleaned, and high cleaning performance can be obtained.

In order to solve the above problems, another configuration of the kitchen sink according to the present invention is characterized in that the kitchen sink includes an inclined surface inclined downwardly from the inside toward the front side, a drain port arranged along the rim of the inside of the inclined surface, And an induction groove extending from the rim of the side edge and the rim of the inside to the drain hole. With this configuration, vegetable residue or the like on the inclined surface, which is the bottom surface of the sink, is guided to the drain hole by the guide groove, so that the same effect as described above can be obtained.

It is sufficient that the drain hole is biased toward the side where the cooking space of the kitchen is installed in the left and right direction of the inclined surface. Vegetable residue is likely to occur in the cooking space of the kitchen. Therefore, by arranging the drain hole on the cooking space side, the vegetable residue or the like can be easily dropped into the drain hole, and workability during cooking can be improved.

It is sufficient that the drain hole is biased toward the side where the faucet is arranged in the left and right direction of the inclined surface. As a result, the vegetable residue or the like easily flows toward the drain port by the flow of water from the faucet, so that the above-mentioned effect can be improved.

1 is an overall view of a kitchen sink (hereinafter, simply referred to as a sink 100) according to the present embodiment. Fig. 1 (a) is a perspective view of an entire sink 100, 1 is a view showing a state in which the sink 100 of FIG. 1 (a) is observed from above. FIG. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 (b), Fig. 2 (a) is a sectional view taken along the line AA in Fig. 1 2 (c) is a CC sectional view of Fig. 1 (b).

1 (a) and 1 (b), the sink 100 according to the present embodiment includes an inclined surface 110, a drain 120, and an induction groove 130. The inclined surface 110 is a bottom surface of the sink 100, and a wall surface 140 is erected from the periphery of the surface. In this embodiment, a faucet mounting surface 150 is provided at the left corner of the inside of the sink 100, which is continuous from the wall surface 140 and has a mounting hole 152 for mounting a faucet (not shown) have.

In the present embodiment, the drain port 120 is disposed on the front side of the faucet mounting surface 150 so as to follow the side edge 112b of the inclined surface 110. [ The drain port (120) is covered by a drain cover (160) disposed above. Thereby, since the drain hole 120 is not visible to the user, the appearance of the sink 100 can be improved.

3 is a view for explaining another shape of the drain cover 160 and schematically shows the sink 100 shown in FIG. 1 (b). In this embodiment, the drain cover 160 of a substantially triangular (right-angled triangular) shape is illustrated as shown in Fig. 1 (b), but the present invention is not limited thereto. The drain cover 160 may have a rectangular shape as shown in Fig. 3 (a), or may have a circular shape as shown in Fig. 4 (b).

In the present embodiment, the shape of the sink 100 is a rectangle having a long side, but this is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. The sink 100 may have a different shape, for example, a circular shape or an L-shaped shape. The present invention is not limited to this configuration. The faucet mounting surface 150 may be provided on the outer side of the sink 100 It is also possible to dispose the faucet, that is, the mounting hole 152 in which the faucet is mounted. It is not always necessary to use the left corner of the inside of the sink 100 at the position of the faucet mounting surface 150 and further the faucet (mounting hole 152) do.

As a feature of the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2A, the inclined surface 110 is inclined downward toward the front side from the inside direction. Thereby, the water from the faucet flows toward the direction of the arrow D1 shown in Fig. 1A and Fig. 2A, that is, toward the front side of the sink 100. [

The guide groove 130 extends from the rim of the front side of the inclined surface 110 (hereinafter referred to as the front rim 112a) along the side rim 112b and continues to the drain port 120. [ For convenience of explanation, in the present embodiment, the left corner on the front side of the sink 100 is defined as a boundary, which extends along the front edge 112a of the slope 110, The guide groove is referred to as a long side guide groove 130a and the guide groove extending along the side edge 112b of the slope 110, that is, the guide groove extending in the short direction of the sink 100, Quot; In the case where both of the long side guide groove 130a and the short side guide groove 130b are referred to, the guide groove 130 is referred to.

The long side guide groove 130a and the short side guide groove 130b which are the guide grooves 130 are formed in a groove recessed downwardly from the slope face 110 as shown in Figures 2 (b) and 2 (c) And is inclined downward toward the drain hole 120 (see Fig. 1 (a)). 2 (b), the long side guide groove 130a extends in the left-right direction toward the side where the drain hole 120 is formed (left side in this embodiment) It is inclined downward. As shown in FIG. 2 (c), the short side guide groove 130b is inclined downward toward the side where the drain hole 120 is formed, that is, toward the inside in the inside direction.

As described above, in the sink 100 of the present embodiment, the inclined surface 110 serving as the bottom surface of the sink 100 is not inclined in the induced shape toward the drain hole 120 as in the conventional art, Is a flat inclination toward the guide groove 130 (strictly, the long side guide groove 130a) Since the mount hole 152 in which the faucet is mounted is formed on the inner side of the sink 100, the position of the water jetted from the faucet on the inclined surface 110 is located upstream of the area on the front side where the vegetable residue, . 1B) of the vegetable residue (hereinafter, referred to as vegetable residue 102) shown schematically in FIG. 1B is arranged in the direction from the inside (upstream side) of the slope 110 to the direction D1 (See Fig. 2 (a)) and the flow of water flows down toward the long side guide groove 130a.

The long side guide groove 130a is inclined downward toward the drain hole 120 so that the vegetable residue 102 flowing into the long side guide groove 130a is guided by the long side guide groove 130a Flows toward the direction of the arrow D2 shown in Figs. 1 (a) and 2 (b), that is, toward the short side guide groove 130b continuous with the drain port 120 . At this time, even in the short side guide groove 130b, the vegetable residue 102 flowing into the short side guide groove 130b is inclined downwardly toward the drain hole 120, (Fig. 1 (a) and Fig. 2 (c)) in the direction D3 and reaches the drain 120. The water flowing in the short side guide groove 130b is guided to the drain port 120 so as to enter under the drain cover 160. [

According to the above configuration, the water flowing when cleaning the tableware or the like flows along the inclined surface 110, so that the vegetable residue 102 in the area on the front side of the inclined surface 110 flows naturally toward the guide groove 130, (Not shown). Therefore, when the cleaning operation of the tableware or the like is completed, the removal of the vegetable residue 102 is completed. As a result, the user does not need to scrape up the vegetable residue 102 as in the prior art, and high comfort can be obtained.

Further, the vegetable residue 102 is naturally moved to the drain 120 by the flow of water during the cleaning operation, so that the retention of the vegetable residue in the bottom surface (inclined surface 110) of the sink 100 is prevented. Particularly, since the inclined surface 110 is inclined flatly, a flow of water flows in a wider area than in the case of tilting of the induced shape as in the prior art, and the retention of the vegetable residue 102 is further suppressed. As a result, adhesion of contaminants to the bottom surface of the sink 100 due to the retention of the vegetable residue 102 can be appropriately prevented, and the clean state can be maintained at all times. Therefore, the user can easily clean the sink 100, and high cleaning performance can be obtained.

In this embodiment, the drain hole 120 is disposed at a side where the faucet is arranged, that is, on the side where the mounting hole 152 is formed, in the left-right direction of the inclined surface 110. As a result, the vegetable residue 102 flows easily toward the drain port 120 by the flow of water from the faucet, and the above-mentioned effect can be further enhanced.

Further, the drain hole 120 may be disposed at a side where the cooking space (not shown) of the kitchen is installed in the left-right direction of the inclined surface 110. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the cooking space of the kitchen is provided on the left side of the sink 100, and the drain port 120 is disposed to the left side of the sink 100 in a biased manner. As a result, the vegetable residue 102 generated in the cooking space of the kitchen falls to the side of the drain port 120, so that the vegetable residue 102 is easily flowed by the flowing water.

Fig. 4 is a view showing another shape of the guide groove 130, and schematically shows the sink 100 shown in Fig. 1 (b). 4A and 4B, a drainage hole (not shown) is disposed along the inner rim 112c, which is an inner rim of the inclined surface, and a drainage lid (not shown) 160). 4 (a), the guide groove 130 includes a long side guide groove 130a extending along the front edge 112a of the slope 110, and a short side guide groove 130b extending along the side edge 112b. And an inner guide groove 130c extending along the inner edge 112c of the inclined surface 110 and continuing to the drain hole 120 in addition to the side guide groove 130b. As a result, the vegetable residue 102 (see Fig. 2 (b)) on the inclined surface 110 flows through the long side guide groove 130a and the short side guide groove 130b and flows into the inside guide groove 130c , And is guided to the drain port (120) through the inside guide groove (130c). As a result, the same effect as that of the sink 100 shown in Fig. 1 can be obtained.

4 (b), two long guide grooves 130a and short guide grooves 130b are formed symmetrically in the left and right direction of the sink 100. As shown in FIG. With this configuration, the vegetable residue 102 of the slope 110 can be appropriately guided to the drain port 120, and the same effect as described above can be obtained. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the drain cover 160 is rectangular. As a result, the protrusion of the drain cap 160 to the inclined surface 110, which is the bottom surface of the sink 100, can be reduced, and such an area can be efficiently used.

While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to these examples. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

The present invention can be used as a kitchen sink incorporated in a kitchen cabinet such as a system kitchen.
