Description

Multifunctional water tank

The application is a divisional application of an invention patent application with the application date of 2017, 2 and 24 months, the application number of 201710102135.2 and the name of a multifunctional water tank.

Technical Field

The invention relates to a multifunctional water tank.

Background

In a known structure, an auxiliary water tank is provided in a water tank of a washing table so as to bulge outward from a side of a part of a water tank portion. In such a water tank, the operability can be improved by separately using the water tank and the auxiliary water tank.

In the auxiliary water tank, for example, a rack for storing detergent, sponge, or the like, or a storage device such as a drain basket may be disposed.

In addition, in some cases, plates such as a draining plate and a placement plate are disposed in the horizontal direction in the water tub and the auxiliary water tub, and are used for placing a cooking tool or expanding a cooking space.

For example, in a washing table disclosed in patent document 1, a drain container is disposed in an auxiliary water tank, and a cooking plate is placed on a flange provided on the inner periphery of the water tank. The auxiliary flange extends from the drainage receptacle to an extension of the flange of the trough portion. Thus, even at the position facing the auxiliary water tank part, the cooking plate is locked by the auxiliary flange and can slide and move along the transverse direction.

The washing table described in patent document 2 discloses the following structure: the plates are disposed in multiple stages in the water tank by forming a plurality of irregularities in the height direction of the open/close bridge-type guide rail disposed in the inner wall portion of the expanded recess (auxiliary water tank portion).

The washing table described in patent document 3 discloses the following structure: a plurality of plates having drain holes are disposed on a storage rack disposed in the auxiliary water tank.

Patent document 3: japanese laid-open patent publication No. 2009-7907

However, the conventional multi-functional sink has the following problems.

In the techniques described in patent documents 1 to 3, a support portion for supporting the plates disposed in the water tank portion is provided in the storage fixture disposed in the auxiliary water tank portion, and thereby the plates can be disposed, slid, and the like. However, the plates have a possibility of placing various weights and also have a possibility of applying a load at the time of cooking operation or the like. Therefore, the storage devices disposed in the auxiliary water tank portion are required to have a support portion for supporting the plates and to have rigidity against a certain degree of load.

Therefore, there are problems as follows: the structure of the storage devices disposed in the auxiliary water tank is restricted in terms of shape and strength, and it is difficult to customize the structure or design for the storage function. For example, a wire basket or the like made of a lightweight and low-strength wire material cannot be used as the storage device. For example, in order to slide and move the plates also at the portions facing the auxiliary water groove portions, it is necessary to form a support portion for accommodating the tools at the entire boundary portion between the auxiliary water groove portions and the water tank portion.

Further, if plates are disposed in the water tank portion, it is necessary to dispose storage devices in the auxiliary water tank portion, and therefore there is a problem that the auxiliary water tank portion cannot be used except for the purpose of disposing the storage devices. In addition, it takes time to replace the storage devices, and it is difficult to use a plurality of storage devices in combination.

Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings, the same reference numerals are used for the same or corresponding components even when the embodiments are different, and common descriptions are omitted.

[ first embodiment ]

A multipurpose water tank according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a configuration of a main part of a multifunction sink according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

The washing table 100 (multifunctional sink) of the present embodiment, of which main part is shown in fig. 1, can be preferably used for cooking, washing of objects to be washed, and the like.

The washing table 100 includes a water tank main body 1 and a water tap 10 connected to a water supply pipe, not shown, on an installation table, not shown.

The water tank main body 1 includes: a flat plate portion 1C disposed above an installation table not shown; a water groove portion 1A and an auxiliary water groove portion 1B which are recessed downward from the flat plate portion 1C; and a partition member 2 disposed at a boundary between the water tank 1A and the auxiliary water tank 1B.

In the sink body 1, a wire basket 3 (second placement member), a draining plate 4 (first placement member), draining baskets 5 and 6 (first placement member), and a plate 7 (first placement member) are disposed as attachable and detachable accessories.

The structure of the water tub body 1 will be described in detail with reference to fig. 2 to 4.

Fig. 2 is a schematic plan view of a main part of a multipurpose water tank according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 3 isbase:Sub>A sectional viewbase:Sub>A-base:Sub>A in fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a sectional view B-B in fig. 2.

As shown in fig. 2, the water tank portion 1A is formed in a rectangular area in a plan view, and a water tank portion bottom surface 1A having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view is formed inside the paper surface. The longitudinal direction of the water tank 1A in plan view is the lateral direction in the figure.

As shown in fig. 3, the bottom surface 1a of the water tank portion is gently inclined for drainage, and a drain port 1e connected to a sewer pipe via a pipe is formed at the lowermost portion. The outlet 1e is disposed across the water tank bottom surface 1a and an auxiliary water tank bottom surface 1f of an auxiliary water tank 1B described later.

As shown in fig. 1, a drain port cover 1j is detachably disposed on the drain port 1e, and this drain port cover 1j covers the drain port 1e on the water tank portion 1A side from above and opens the drain port 1e on the auxiliary water tank portion 1B side. In the following drawings, the drain cover 1j is not shown as appropriate.

Hereinafter, the longitudinal direction of the water tank 1A in plan view is referred to as the X direction, the width direction is referred to as the Y direction, and the depth direction (vertical direction) is referred to as the Z direction, and the relative position and posture of each part of the washing table 100 will be described using these directions. In the present embodiment, the X direction is a direction from the left side to the right side of the washing table 100 or a reverse direction thereof. The Y direction is a direction from the front side to the rear side of the washing table 100 or a reverse direction thereof. Here, the left and right sides correspond to the left and right sides of the user when the user stands in a posture of looking at the rear side of the washing table 100 at the front side.

A water tank side surface 1b rises from an outer edge portion of the water tank bottom surface 1a. As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the side surface of the water tub 1A in the Y direction, which corresponds to the water tub side surface 1B on the rear side (upper side in the figure), bulges outward to form an auxiliary water tub 1B.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the water tank portion side surface 1b is constituted by three side surfaces, namely, two side surfaces (water tank left and right side wall portions) opposed to each other in the X direction, and a side surface (water tank front side wall portion) on the front side (lower side in fig. 2) of the water tank portion bottom surface 1a in the Y direction.

However, when the auxiliary water groove portion 1B may be smaller, a part of the water tank portion side surface 1B on the rear side (upper side in fig. 2) in the Y direction of the water tank portion bottom surface 1a may remain, and the auxiliary water groove portion 1B may bulge out from the middle portion of the water tank portion side surface 1B.

In each water tank side surface 1b, a front side rail portion (water tank front side plane portion) 1C and a lateral side rail portion 1d are formed as step-like portions arranged along a horizontal plane at positions having a constant depth from the flat plate portion 1C. The water channel side surface 1b above the front rail 1c and the lateral rail 1d has almost the same inclination as the water channel side surface 1b below, and extends upward from the outer edge portions of the front rail 1c and the lateral rail 1d.

The front rail portion 1c is formed to extend in the X direction on the front side water tank portion side surface 1b in the Y direction.

The lateral guide rail portions 1d are formed to extend in the Y direction in the water tank side surfaces 1b facing each other in the X direction.

The front rail portion 1c and the lateral rail portion 1d are locking portions in the water tank portion 1A that can lock the ends of the drain board 4 and the drain basket 5 shown in fig. 1.

The shape of the auxiliary water groove portion 1B in plan view is not particularly limited, and in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, for example, the shape is an isosceles trapezoid that narrows toward the outside in plan view.

The inner peripheral surface of the auxiliary water tank 1B includes an auxiliary water tank bottom surface 1f, an auxiliary water tank lateral surface 1g, and an auxiliary water tank rear surface 1h.

The auxiliary gutter portion bottom surface 1f extends rearward from an outer edge portion of the rear gutter portion bottom surface 1a in the Y direction, and has an isosceles trapezoidal shape in plan view. As shown in fig. 3, the auxiliary water tank bottom surface 1f is formed at a position lower than the water tank bottom surface 1a and communicates with the drain port 1e.

The auxiliary water tank lateral side surfaces 1g extend upward from outer edge portions of the leg portions constituting the trapezoid of the auxiliary water tank bottom surface 1 f.

The auxiliary water tank rear surface 1h extends upward from an outer edge of the trapezoidal upper bottom of the auxiliary water tank bottom surface 1 f.

The auxiliary water tank portion 1B includes rear flat plate portions 1m extending in the X direction from upper end portions of the auxiliary water tank portion lateral surfaces 1g at both ends in the X direction in plan view. The rear flat plate portion 1m is substantially parallel (including parallel) to the XY plane. The rear flat plate portion 1m may be slightly inclined with respect to the XY plane in order to drain water. The rear flat plate portion 1m is slightly lower than the flat plate portion 1C.

The water tank 1A, the auxiliary water tank 1B, and the flat plate 1C in the water tank main body 1 are formed by pressing an appropriate metal plate, for example, a stainless steel plate.

As shown in fig. 2, the partition member 2 is disposed at a boundary between the water tank 1A and the auxiliary water tank 1B, and extends in the X direction. Both ends of the partition member 2 in the X direction are fixed to the auxiliary water tank lateral side 1g, respectively. Therefore, the partition member 2 is disposed so as to close the opening of the auxiliary water tank portion 1B to the water tank portion 1A in a plan view. In other words, the partition member 2 is bridged between the auxiliary water tank lateral side surfaces 1g on both sides of the auxiliary water tank 1B. The partition member 2 is disposed substantially parallel to the front side surface of the bottom surface 1a of the water tub portion in the Y direction.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the upper portion of the partition member 2 is located at a height lower than the flat plate portion 1C and substantially equal to the rear flat plate portion 1m, and the lower portion of the partition member 2 is located at a height slightly lower than the front rail portion 1C and the lateral rail portion 1d.

As shown in fig. 4, a substantially rectangular opening 2t extending in the X direction penetrates through the partition member 2 when viewed in a direction from the water tank portion 1A toward the auxiliary water tank portion 1B. Therefore, the partition member 2 includes two rod-like portions extending in the X direction above and below the opening 2t.

As shown in fig. 1, the draining plate 4 and the draining baskets 5 and 6 disposed on the upper side of the water tub 1A or inside the water tub 1A have rear locking portions 4a, 5a and 6a as end portions positioned on the auxiliary water tub 1B side. The partition member 2 can support the drain board 4 and the rear locking portions 4a, 5a, 6a of the drain baskets 5, 6. The partition member 2 can also support the rear locking portion 7a of the plate 7 disposed on the flat plate portion 1C in fig. 1.

As shown in fig. 3, the partition member 2 can support a front locking portion 3c which is an end portion of the wire basket 3 disposed in the auxiliary water tank portion 1B on the water tank portion 1A side.

Next, the detailed structure of the partition member 2 will be described.

Fig. 5 is a schematic exploded perspective view of a partition member of a multifunction water tank according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6 is a schematic perspective view of the partition member of the multipurpose water tank according to the first embodiment of the present invention, as viewed from the back side. Fig. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a fixing structure of a partition member and an auxiliary water tank portion of a multipurpose water tank according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 5, the partition member 2 is composed of connecting portions 2A and 2B, an upper beam-shaped portion 2C, and a lower beam-shaped portion 2D. Hereinafter, for the sake of simplicity, the structure of each part of the partition member 2 will be described based on the posture of being fixed to the lateral side 1g of the auxiliary water tank.

The connecting portions 2A and 2B constitute both end portions of the partition member 2 in the longitudinal direction (X direction). In the present embodiment, since the auxiliary water groove portion 1B bulges like an isosceles trapezoid in a plan view, the connection portions 2A and 2B are formed in a shape of plane symmetry with each other with the YZ plane as a symmetry plane. Hereinafter, the shapes corresponding to the connection parts 2A and 2B will be described using common reference numerals, and taking the shape of the connection part 2A as an example.

The connecting portion 2A includes a fixing portion 2A abutting against the auxiliary water tank portion lateral surface 1g, and an upper support portion 2b and a lower support portion 2c protruding from the fixing portion 2A in the X direction. The upper support portion 2b protrudes from the upper side of the fixing portion 2a, and the lower support portion 2c protrudes from the lower side of the fixing portion 2a at intervals in the Z direction.

As shown in fig. 6, a fixing member insertion portion 2u is formed in the fixing portion 2a. The fixing member insertion portion 2u is formed in an appropriate shape to be fitted and engaged with a fixing member described later provided on the auxiliary water tank portion lateral surface 1 g.

As shown in fig. 7, in the present embodiment, since the fixing member 9 as a fixing pin protrudes from the auxiliary water tank portion lateral surface 1g, the fixing member insertion portion 2u is constituted by a hole portion fitted with the fixing member 9. For example, when the fixing member 9 is a screw, the fixing member insertion portion 2u is formed of a screw hole formed with a female screw.

The main portion of the connection portion 2A is formed by, for example, zinc die casting. The fixing portion 2a includes a contact surface portion 2w at a portion that contacts at least the auxiliary water tank lateral side surface 1 g.

The contact surface portion 2w is formed of an appropriate resin having electrical insulation properties in order to prevent electrical corrosion with the lateral surface 1g of the auxiliary water tank portion. As a method of forming the contact surface portion 2w, for example, resin insertion is cited.

As shown in fig. 6, the locking surface 2e as the upper surface of the upper support 2b is a plane parallel to the XY plane. On the lower surface side of the upper supporting portion 2b, a plate-like portion 2z protrudes toward the rear side in the Y direction. The plate-like portion 2z extends in the longitudinal direction of the upper support portion 2b.

As shown in fig. 5, the front end portion of the upper support portion 2b in the protruding direction is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from the X direction. An engaging projection 2d that engages with a longitudinal end of the upper beam-like portion 2C described later is formed at the front end. The shape of the engaging projection 2d is not particularly limited as long as it can engage with the end portion of the upper beam-like portion 2C in the longitudinal direction. In the present embodiment, the engaging protrusion 2d has a quadrangular prism shape.

The locking surface 2y as the upper surface of the lower support 2c is a plane parallel to the XY plane.

In the lower supporting portion 2c, the plate-like portion 2x protrudes from the lower surface side to the front side in the Y direction. The plate-like portion 2x extends in the longitudinal direction of the lower support portion 2c.

The front end portion of the lower support portion 2c in the protruding direction is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from the X direction. An engaging projection 2f that engages with an end portion in the longitudinal direction of a lower beam-like portion 2D described later is formed at the front end portion. The shape of the engaging projection 2f is not particularly limited as long as it can engage with the end portion of the lower beam-like portion 2D in the longitudinal direction. In the present embodiment, the engaging protrusion 2f has a quadrangular prism shape.

The upper beam-shaped portion 2C includes: a beam main body 2h having a rectangular cross section having the same shape as the tip of each upper support portion 2B in the connection portions 2A and 2B; and a plate-shaped portion 2j projecting rearward in the Y direction from the lower side surface of the beam portion body 2 h.

The beam body 2h is a beam member that spans between the distal ends of the upper support portions 2B of the connecting portions 2A and 2B. Engaging holes 2m are formed in both longitudinal ends of the beam portion body 2h, and the engaging holes 2m are formed by holes for engaging the engaging projections 2d of the connecting portions 2A and 2B. In the present embodiment, the engagement hole 2m is formed by a rectangular hole that fits to the outer peripheral surface of the engagement projection 2d.

The upper locking surface 2i, which is the upper surface of the beam portion body 2h, is aligned on the same plane as the locking surface 2e of the upper support portion 2b in a state where the engagement hole 2m is fitted to the engagement protrusion 2d.

Therefore, on the uppermost surface of the partition member 2 in the assembled state, a plane constituted by the respective locking surfaces 2e and the upper locking surface 2i extends in the X direction, and constitutes a first rail portion R1 (first locking portion).

The plate-shaped portion 2j has a predetermined width in the Y direction and extends in the longitudinal direction of the beam portion body 2 h. A lower engaging surface (engaging surface) 2k formed of a plane parallel to the XY plane is formed on the upper surface of the plate-like portion 2 j. In the partition member 2 in the assembled state, the lower locking surface 2k is constituted by a flat surface extending in the X direction together with the upper surface of each plate-like portion 2z, and constitutes a second rail portion R2 (second locking portion) slightly lower than the first rail portion R1.

The lower beam-shaped portion 2D includes: a beam main body 2n having a rectangular cross section having the same shape as the tip of each lower support portion 2c in the connection portions 2A and 2B; and a plate-like portion 2q protruding from the lower side surface of the beam body 2n toward the front side in the Y direction.

The beam body 2n is a beam member that spans between the distal ends of the lower support portions 2c of the connecting portions 2A and 2B. Engaging holes 2s are formed in both ends of the beam portion main body 2n in the longitudinal direction, and the engaging holes 2s are formed by hole portions for engaging the engaging projections 2f of the connecting portions 2A and 2B. In the present embodiment, the engagement hole 2s is formed by a rectangular hole that fits into the outer peripheral surface of the engagement projection 2f.

The upper locking surface 2p, which is the upper surface of the beam body 2n, is aligned on the same plane as the locking surface 2y of the lower support 2c in a state where each engagement hole 2m is fitted to the engagement protrusion 2d.

Therefore, a plane formed by the locking surfaces 2y and the upper locking surface 2p extends in the X direction below the opening 2t of the partition member 2 in the assembled state, and forms a third rail portion R3.

The plate-shaped portion 2q has a predetermined width in the Y direction and extends in the longitudinal direction of the beam body 2n. A lower engaging surface 2r formed of a plane parallel to the XY plane is formed on the upper surface of the plate-like portion 2 q. In the partition member 2 in the assembled state, the lower locking surface 2R is constituted by a flat surface extending in the X direction together with the respective locking surfaces 2g, and constitutes a fourth rail portion R4 (first locking portion) slightly lower than the third rail portion R3.

The partition member 2 is assembled by fitting the engaging projections 2D and 2f of the connecting portions 2A and 2B into the engaging holes 2m and 2s of the upper beam-shaped portion 2C and the lower beam-shaped portion 2D, respectively. The manner of fitting the upper support portion 2b and the upper beam-shaped portion 2C to each other and the lower support portion 2C and the lower beam-shaped portion 2D to each other is not limited to the above-described manner, and, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which a concave portion is formed in the upper support portion and the lower support portion, and the end portions of the upper beam-shaped portion and the lower beam-shaped portion are inserted and fitted to each other, or a manner in which the concave-convex relationship between the fixing portion and the beam portion main body differs between the upper side and the lower side.

The partition member 2 is fixed to each auxiliary water tank lateral side surface 1g by inserting the fixing member 9 into the fixing member insertion portion 2u of each fixing portion 2a from the back side of each auxiliary water tank lateral side surface 1 g.

In a state where the partition member 2 is fixed to the water tub body 1, the first rail portion R1 has substantially the same height as (including the same case as) the rear flat plate portion 1m, and the fourth rail portion R4 has substantially the same height as (including the same case as) the front rail portion 1c and the lateral rail portion 1d.

The partition member 2 and the fixing member 9 are sized and made of materials having rigidity and strength capable of receiving a load (referred to as a standard load) applied when the wire basket 3, the draining plate 4, the draining baskets 5, 6, and the plate 7, which will be described later, are appropriately arranged and a predetermined object to be placed is arranged thereon.

Next, the wire basket 3 will be explained.

Fig. 8 is a schematic perspective view showing a configuration example of a second placement member that can be disposed in the multipurpose water tank according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the wire basket 3 is a second placement member disposed inside the auxiliary water tank portion 1B. The wire basket 3 is detachably disposed inside the auxiliary water tank 1B from above.

For example, the wire basket 3 is a container capable of storing therein cleaning tools such as a sponge and a brush, detergents, cooking utensils, objects to be drained, and the like in a draining manner.

The shape of the wire basket 3 is not particularly limited as long as it can be disposed inside the auxiliary water tank portion 1B so as to be locked to the auxiliary water tank portion 1B and the partition member 2.

As shown in fig. 8, the wire basket 3 according to the present embodiment includes, for example, a first wire 3A, a second wire 3B, a third wire 3C, and a fourth wire 3D.

The first wire 3A is formed in a closed loop shape including a rear abutment portion 3A, a side bent portion 3b, and a front locking portion 3c.

The rear contact portion 3a is a gate-shaped portion that is bent in the ZX plane to open downward in order to contact the auxiliary water tank rear side surface 1h.

The side surface bent portions 3b extend from the lower end portions of the rear abutting portions 3a toward the front side and are bent upward. The side bent portion 3b has an L-shape when viewed from the X direction.

The front locking portion 3c is slightly bent from the upper end of each side bent portion 3b to the rear side in the Y direction when viewed in the X direction, and then returns to a position slightly protruding forward from the upper end of the side bent portion 3b. That is, as shown in fig. 3, the front locking portion 3c has a J-shape having a curved portion on the rear side when viewed from the X direction. The front locking portion 3c extends linearly in the X direction on the front side in the Y direction. As shown in fig. 2, the front locking portion 3c has a gate shape that opens to the rear side in the Y direction in the XY plane when viewed from the Z direction.

The front locking portion 3c is a locking portion that locks with the second rail portion R2 of the partition member 2 from above.

The upper end of the rear abutment portion 3a and the front locking portion 3c are formed at substantially the same height (including the same).

As shown in fig. 1, a slide rod 8 is attached to the upper end of the rear contact portion 3a and the straight line portion of the front locking portion 3c so as to be slidable in the X direction.

The slide bar 8 divides the upper portion of the wire basket 3 into two parts, thereby dividing the storage area in the wire basket 3.

As shown in fig. 8, the second wire 3B is formed in a closed loop shape of a rectangular shape in a plan view. The second wire 3B is fixed to the first wire 3A so as to be sandwiched between the side bent portion 3B and the rear contact portion 3A at an intermediate portion of the first wire 3A in the Z direction. The second wire 3B forms an outer frame that limits the internal storage range of the wire basket 3 in a plan view.

The third wire 3C is formed into a closed loop shape having an isosceles trapezoid shape in a plan view. The third wire 3C crosses each wire portion extending in the Y direction in the side surface bent portion 3b of the first wire 3A, and is fixed to the side surface bent portion 3b at the crossing portion.

The third wire 3C forms a bottom portion on which a mounted object having a width wider than the Y-direction width of the third wire 3C is placed from above by narrowing the Y-direction gap in the lower end portion of the wire basket 3.

In the third wire 3C, the lateral contact portions 3d, which are both ends in the X direction of the leg portions constituting the trapezoidal shape, are formed at positions and angles where they can contact the respective auxiliary water tank portion lateral side surfaces 1g of the auxiliary water tank portion 1B from the inside.

The fourth wire 3D is formed linearly extending in the X direction. The fourth wire 3D is laid inside each corner portion where the lower end of the rear abutting portion 3A of the first wire 3A and the rear end of the side curved portion 3b in the Y direction are connected, and fixed to the corner portion.

The wire basket 3 having such a structure can be formed by a wire made of metal or resin.

As shown in fig. 2, the wire basket 3 is inserted so as to drop from above the auxiliary water tank 1B, and is disposed inside the auxiliary water tank 1B.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the rear abutment portion 3a abuts on the rear side surface 1h of the auxiliary water tank. The front locking portion 3c is locked to the second rail portion R2 of the partition member 2 from above.

As shown in fig. 2, each lateral abutment portion 3d abuts against the lateral surface 1g of the auxiliary water tank portion.

With this arrangement, the wire basket 3 disposed in the auxiliary water tank 1B is pulled upward and taken out to the outside of the auxiliary water tank 1B.

As shown in fig. 1, the draining plate 4 and the draining basket 5 are examples of a first placement member disposed inside the water tub portion 1A. The draining plate 4 and the draining basket 5 are detachably disposed in the water tank 1A from above.

The draining board 4 is a placing board on which objects to be washed, cooking materials, cooking utensils, tableware, and the like can be placed in a draining manner.

The drain plate 4 has a structure in which a plurality of drain holes 4c penetrate through a stainless steel plate that is curled and bent at its outer peripheral portion, for example. The draining plate 4 is rectangular and long in the Y direction.

As shown by the two-dot chain line in fig. 3, the draining plate 4 is disposed transversely inside the water tank 1A in the Y direction so that the front locking portion 4b and the rear locking portion 4a at both ends in the Y direction are locked to the front rail portion 1c of the water tank 1A and the fourth rail portion R4 of the partition member 2 from above, respectively.

The draining board 4 can be moved in the X direction by sliding on the front rail portion 1c and the fourth rail portion R4.

As shown in fig. 1, the drain basket 5 is a container for storing therein objects to be washed, cooking materials, cooking utensils, tableware, and the like so as to be capable of draining water.

The drain basket 5 is a basket-shaped member formed by combining stainless steel wires, for example, and includes rear locking portions 5a that are locked to the fourth rail portions R4 of the partition member 2 from above and front locking portions, not shown, that are locked to the front rail portions 1c of the water tank 1A at both ends in the Y direction.

The basket body of the drain basket 5 is disposed below the front rail portion 1c in the water tank portion 1A. The draining basket 5 is disposed transversely inside the water tank 1A in the Y direction.

The draining basket 5 can be moved in the X direction by sliding on the front rail portion 1c and the fourth rail portion R4, similarly to the draining board 4.

The drain basket 6 is an example of a first placement member disposed inside the water tank portion 1A. The drain basket 6 has the same configuration as the drain basket 5 except that it is disposed between the upper end of the water tank 1A and the lateral guide rail 1d and the front guide rail 1c.

The drain basket 6 includes rear locking portions 6a that are locked to the first rail portions R1 of the partition member 2 and front locking portions 6b that are locked to the flat plate portion 1C at the outer edge of the water tank portion 1A, respectively, on both sides of the upper end in the Y direction.

The draining basket 6 is detachably disposed in the water tank 1A from above the water tank 1A. The draining basket 6 is disposed inside the water tank 1A so as to cross in the Y direction.

The plate 7 is an example of a first placement member disposed above the water tank portion 1A.

The plate 7 is a placement plate on which cleaning objects, cooking materials, cooking utensils, tableware, and the like are placed, for example. The draining holes may be provided in the plate 7, as in the draining plate 4, and in the present embodiment, a plurality of grooves 7c for draining are formed by press working.

The plate 7 is rectangular in shape elongated in the Y direction, and as shown by the two-dot chain line in fig. 3, both ends in the Y direction are respectively latched and arranged from above to the flat plate portion 1C connected to the front outer edge portion of the water tank portion 1A and the first rail portion R1 of the partition member 2. The plate 7 is disposed inside the water tank 1A in the Y direction.

The plate 7 can be moved in the X direction by sliding on the flat plate portion 1C and the first rail portion R1.

According to the washing table 100 having such a configuration, the partition member 2 disposed at the boundary between the water tub 1A and the auxiliary water tub 1B includes: a second rail portion R2 for engaging a second receiving member such as the wire basket 3; and a first rail portion R1 and a fourth rail portion R4 for locking a first placing member such as the draining plate 4, the draining baskets 5, 6 and the plate 7.

Therefore, it is not necessary to lock or support the first placement member and the second placement member to each other. Therefore, the first placement member and the second placement member can be independently arranged, removed, or replaced as needed.

The partition member 2 has an upper beam-shaped portion 2C and a lower beam-shaped portion 2D at different heights in the Z direction, and the upper beam-shaped portion 2C and the lower beam-shaped portion 2D are provided with a first rail portion R1 and a fourth rail portion R4 on which the first placement member can be placed. Therefore, since the plurality of first placement members can be arranged so as to change the arrangement height, various operations using the first placement members can be easily performed, and a multifunctional use method can be realized.

In addition, in the present embodiment. As the second placement member, only the wire basket 3 locked to the second rail portion R2 of the partition member 2 is illustrated, but the third rail portion R3 of the partition member 2 may be used as the second locking portion. In this case, the partition member 2 can be arranged with a plurality of second arranging members so as to change the height.

Further, since the washing table 100 has the partition member 2, the second placement member does not need to support or slide the first placement member. Therefore, the second placement member can be simply configured to have a function of placing and storing the placed object and a structure of locking the second placement member to the partition member 2, and the structure of the second placement member can be simplified.

In particular, in the case where the first placement member can be disposed at two or more positions in the Z direction in the water tank portion 1A, when the locking portion of the first placement member is formed in the second placement member, it is also necessary to provide the locking portion at two or more positions in the Z direction in the second locking member. Further, the second placement member needs to be arranged below the lowermost locking portion. However, according to the present embodiment, there is no need to limit such a shape to the second placement member.

Further, since the second placement member does not need to support the load of a member other than the object placed on the second placement member, it is possible to have a lightweight and low-strength structure as compared with the case of supporting the first placement member. For example, the second placement member may be a basket-shaped member formed of a low-rigidity wire material, such as the wire basket 3. Further, as the second placement member, it is also easy to adopt a structure in which no support leg is provided on the auxiliary water tank part bottom surface 1f of the auxiliary water tank part 1B like the wire basket 3.

According to the washing table 100 of the present embodiment, since the partition member 2 is provided, the structural restriction of the second placement member such as the wire basket 3 disposed in the auxiliary water tank portion 1B can be reduced.

Further, according to the washing table 100, since the second placement member that does not engage with or support the first placement member can be disposed in the auxiliary water tank portion 1B, or the disposition of the second placement member can be omitted, the auxiliary water tank portion can be used with more functions.

[ first modification ]

Next, a description will be given of a multifunction water tank according to a modification (first modification) of the present embodiment.

Fig. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional structure of a partition member of a multi-functional water tank according to a modification (first modification) of the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 9, a washing table 101 (a multifunction sink) of the present modification includes a partition member 12 instead of the partition member 2 of the first embodiment.

The following description will focus on differences from the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 9, the partition member 12 in this modification includes an upper beam-shaped portion 12C and a lower beam-shaped portion 12D instead of the upper beam-shaped portion 2C and the lower beam-shaped portion 2D in the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 9, the upper beam-shaped portion 12C and the lower beam-shaped portion 12D are made of a hollow material, and a through hole penetrating in the longitudinal direction is formed in the center of each of the beam portion bodies 2h and 2n. The cross-sectional shapes of the inner peripheral surfaces 12m, 12s constituting the through-holes are rectangular shapes that are the same as the opening shapes of the engagement holes 2m, 2s in the first embodiment.

Therefore, the partition member 12 having the same outer shape as the partition member 2 can be assembled by inserting the inner circumferential surfaces 12m, 12s at the longitudinal direction both ends of the upper beam-shaped portion 12C and the lower beam-shaped portion 12D into the engaging protrusions 2D of the fitting connection portions 2A, 2B, respectively.

The material of the upper beam-like portion 12C and the lower beam-like portion 12D may be an appropriate material that can be formed into a hollow material. For example, when a stainless steel hollow material is used as the material of the upper beam-shaped portion 12C and the lower beam-shaped portion 12D, the bending rigidity can be further increased as compared with a case where the stainless steel hollow material is formed of a zinc die cast having the same outer shape.

According to the washing table 101 of the present embodiment, since the material and the manufacturing method of only the upper beam-shaped portion 12C and the lower beam-shaped portion 12D of the partition member 12 are different from those of the partition member 2, the structural restrictions of the members disposed in the auxiliary water tank portion can be reduced, and the auxiliary water tank portion can be used with more functions, as in the first embodiment.

[ second embodiment ]

Next, a multifunction water tank according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Fig. 10 is a schematic perspective view showing a configuration of a main part of a multipurpose water tank according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along line D-D of fig. 10. Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view E-E of fig. 10. Fig. 13 is a view from direction F in fig. 12.

As shown in fig. 1 and 10, a washing table 102 (a multifunction sink) according to the present embodiment includes a partition member 22 and a sink body 21 instead of the partition member 2 and the sink body 1 according to the first embodiment.

The following description will focus on differences from the first embodiment.

The main portion of the partition member 22 is manufactured by press-molding a sheet metal member using a press-molding die. The outer shape of the partition member 22 viewed at least from the front side in the Y direction is formed substantially the same as that of the partition member 2 of the first embodiment described above.

The partition member 22 is not divided, but includes an upper beam-shaped portion 22C, a lower beam-shaped portion 22D, and connection portions 22A, 22B corresponding to the upper beam-shaped portion 2C, the lower beam-shaped portion 2D, and the connection portions 2A, 2B of the partition member 2, respectively.

As shown in fig. 11, the flat plate is subjected to a drawing process in order to form the opening 2t, the upper beam-like portion 22C, and the lower beam-like portion 22D in the partition member 22.

In the outer peripheral portion of the opening 2t, a front surface portion 22b parallel to the ZX plane is formed in a range parallel to the upper beam-shaped portion 22C and the lower beam-shaped portion 22D. However, the front surface portion 22B is curved toward the rear side in the Y direction in the region of the connection portions 22A, 22B.

In the cross section on the ZX plane, a planar outer peripheral wall upper stretching portion 22c and an opening upper stretching portion 22j parallel to the XY plane extend from the front portion 22b toward the rear side in the Y direction on the upper side of the opening 2t.

The upper surface of the outer peripheral portion upper stretching portion 22c is an upper locking surface 22i parallel to the XY plane, and constitutes a first rail portion R1.

The upper surface of the opening upper stretching portion 22j is a lower locking surface 22k parallel to the XY plane, and constitutes a second rail portion R2.

The upper beam-shaped portion 22C is formed by the structure of the stretching portion having such a sectional shape.

Below the opening 2t, a planar opening lower stretching portion 22d parallel to the XY plane extends from the front portion 22b toward the rear side in the Y direction. A convex stretching portion 22e protruding from the front portion 22b toward the front side in the Y direction is formed below the opening lower stretching portion 22d.

The lower end of the convex stretching portion 22e is an outer peripheral lower stretching portion 22g extending more rearward than the front portion 22b toward the rear side in the Y direction.

The upper surface of the opening lower stretching portion 22d is an upper locking surface 22p parallel to the XY plane, and constitutes a third guide portion R3.

The upper surface of the convex stretching portion 22e is a lower locking surface 22R parallel to the XY plane, and constitutes a fourth rail portion R4.

The lower beam-shaped portion 22D is formed by the structure of the stretching portion having such a sectional shape.

Similarly to the connection portions 2A and 2B in the first embodiment, the connection portions 22A and 22B are formed in shapes that are plane-symmetrical to each other with the YZ plane as a symmetry plane. In the following, the shapes corresponding to the connection portions 22A and 22B will be described using common reference numerals, and the shape of the connection portion 22A will be taken as an example.

As shown in fig. 12 and 13, the connecting portion 22A includes a fixing portion 22A made of resin at an end portion of the partition member 22 in the longitudinal direction, and the fixing portion 22A is fitted in a region sandwiched between the outer periphery upper stretching portion 22c and the outer periphery lower stretching portion 22g with resin.

The fixing portion 22a includes a fixing member insertion hole 22v, a fixing member engagement groove 22u, and an insertion opening 22y.

The fixing member insertion hole 22v is a substantially elliptical hole formed in the fixing portion 22a on the back side of the abutment surface portion 2w so as to be long in the Z direction. However, on the inner peripheral surface of the upper end side of the fixed member insertion hole 22v, the flat plate portion 22x extends inward along the abutment surface portion 2w. Therefore, the inside of the fixing member insertion hole 22v penetrates to the abutment surface portion 2w only in the region other than the flat plate portion 22 x.

An insertion opening 22y for opening the fixing member insertion hole 22v is formed at a lower end portion of the fixing member insertion hole 22v on the side opposite to the front surface portion 22b.

A U-shaped fixing member engaging groove 22U penetrates through the flat plate portion 22x in the thickness direction, and the fixing member engaging groove 22U is open downward along a center line extending in the longitudinal direction (Z direction) of the fixing member insertion hole 22 v.

The width of the fixing member insertion hole 22v in the width direction is wider than the outer shape of a retaining portion 29b of the fixing member 29 described later.

The width in the Z direction of the insertion opening 22y is wider than the outer shape of a retaining portion 29b of a fixing member 29 described later.

The width of the fixed member engagement groove 22u in the width direction is a width that can be detachably fitted to an engagement pin 29a of a fixed member 29 described later.

As a material of the fixing portion 22a, an appropriate resin having electrical insulation and strength against a specification load can be used.

The water tank main body 1 according to the first embodiment is configured such that the partition member 2 cannot be easily removed, reattached, or replaced after the partition member 2 is fixed. In contrast, the water tank main body 21 of the present embodiment shown in fig. 10 is different from the water tank main body 1 only in that the partition member 2 is detachably fixed. Therefore, water tub main body 21 has the same structure as water tub main body 1 except for the fixing structure to connection portions 22A and 22B, which is not shown in fig. 10.

Since the fixing structure to each of connecting portions 22A and 22B in water tank main body 21 is the same, the fixing structure to connecting portion 22A will be described as an example.

As shown in fig. 12 and 13, the water tub main body 21 includes a fixing member 29 instead of the fixing member 9 of the water tub main body 1 in the first embodiment.

The fixing member 29 includes: an engaging pin 29a protruding from the auxiliary water tank portion lateral surface 1g toward the inside of the auxiliary water tank portion 1B; and a retaining portion 29b disposed at a distal end portion of the engagement pin 29a in the protruding direction.

In the present embodiment, the engagement pin 29a is a cylindrical member having an outer diameter capable of engaging with the fixed member engagement groove 22u of the fixed portion 22a of the partition member 22.

The engaging pin 29a protrudes from the lateral side 1g of the auxiliary water tank portion by a height slightly larger than the thickness of the flat plate portion 22x of the fixing portion 22a.

The retaining portion 29b is a circular plate disposed concentrically when viewed in the axial direction of the engagement pin 29 a. The outer diameter of the retaining portion 29b is larger than the outer diameter of the engagement pin 29a, and is smaller than the width of the fixing member insertion hole 22v and the opening width of the insertion opening 22y of the fixing portion 22a.

Therefore, as indicated by the two-dot chain line in fig. 13, the stopper portion 29b can be inserted through the insertion opening 22y to the lower end of the fixing member insertion hole 22 v. Further, the stopper portion 29b is movable in the Z direction in the fixing member insertion hole 22 v.

According to the partition member 22 and the water tank main body 21 having such a configuration, the partition member 22 is inserted into the water tank portion 1A, supported so that the insertion opening 22Y is at substantially the same height as the arrangement height of the fixing member 29, and then the partition member 22 is moved to the rear side in the Y direction. This enables the fixing members 29 to be inserted into the insertion opening 22y. Further, when the partition member 22 is moved downward from this state, the engagement pin 29a of the fixed member 29 engages with the upper end portion of the fixed member engagement groove 22u. Thereby, the position of the partition member 22 with respect to the fixing member 29 is fixed. At this time, the contact surface portion 2w of the fixing portion 22a is in a positional relationship of contacting the auxiliary water tank lateral side surface 1 g.

When the partition member 22 is detached, the above-described attaching operation may be performed in reverse order.

Since the water tub main body 21 has such a fixing structure, the partition member 22 can be easily attached and detached by a user. For example, the user can remove the partition member 22 and use the entire water tank 1A and the auxiliary water tank 1B as one water tank. Thus, the user can use the washing table 102 with more functions.

Further, since the partition member 22 is easily attached and detached, the partition member 22 is easily replaced. In addition, when the partition member 22 is removed, the cleaning of the water tank portion 1A, the auxiliary water tank portion 1B, and the partition member 22 is facilitated.

Since the main portion of the partition member 22 is formed by press-forming, an iron-based alloy having high rigidity, such as stainless steel, which is not die-castable, can be used as the material of the partition member 22. Since the partition member 22 is manufactured by press molding, the manufacturing cost of the partition member 22 can be reduced.

As in the first embodiment, the partition member 22 includes the first rail portion R1, the second rail portion R2, the third rail portion R3, and the fourth rail portion R4. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, the wire basket 3, the drain board 4, the drain baskets 5 and 6, the board 7, and the like can be slidably engaged by these guide rail portions.

According to the washing table 102 of the present embodiment, since only the manufacturing process, the partial outer shape, and the fixing method of the partition member 22 are different from those of the partition member 2, the structural restrictions of the members disposed in the auxiliary water tank portion can be reduced, and the auxiliary water tank portion can be used with more functions, as in the first embodiment.

[ third embodiment ]

Next, a multifunction water tank according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Fig. 14 is a schematic perspective view of a main part structure of a multipurpose water tank according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 15 is a schematic perspective view of a partition member of a multifunction sink according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 16 is a sectional view taken along line G-G in fig. 15.

As shown in fig. 14, the washing table 103 (multifunction sink) of the present embodiment includes a partition member 32 instead of the partition member 22 of the second embodiment.

The following description focuses on differences from the second embodiment.

The partition member 32 is different from the partition member 22 of the second embodiment described above in that it is manufactured by press forming and resin insertion, and is manufactured by bending a plate. Therefore, the partition member 32 is different from the partition member 22 in that the shape thereof is a combination of flat plate portions.

The partition member 32 in the present embodiment is formed of the same metal material as the auxiliary water tank lateral surface 1g so as not to generate electrolytic corrosion even if directly contacting the auxiliary water tank lateral surface 1 g.

As shown in fig. 15, the partition member 32 includes an upper beam-shaped portion 32C, a lower beam-shaped portion 32D, and connection portions 32A, 32B, respectively, corresponding to the upper beam-shaped portion 22C, the lower beam-shaped portion 22D, and the connection portions 22A, 22B of the partition member 22.

In order to form the opening 32t, the upper beam-like portion 32C, and the lower beam-like portion 32D in the partition member 32, the flat plate is bent.

The opening 32t is formed in a rectangular shape elongated in the X direction at the center of the front surface portion 32b when viewed from the Y direction. The front surface portion 32b is a flat plate portion extending in the X direction and parallel to the ZX plane. The size of the opening 32t is substantially the same as the opening 2t in the second embodiment.

As shown in fig. 16, in the cross section on the ZX plane, the outer peripheral portion upper bent portion 32c and the opening upper bent portion 32j extend from the front portion 32b toward the rear side in the Y direction above the opening 32 t.

The outer peripheral portion upper bent portion 32c is bent stepwise in the middle of the Y direction, and an upper locking surface 32i and a lower locking surface 32k are formed in this order from the front surface portion 32b side. The upper locking surface 32i and the lower locking surface 32k are both flat surfaces parallel to the XY plane. The lower locking surface 32k is formed at a position slightly lower than the upper locking surface 32 i. The rear end of the lower locking surface 32k in the Y direction is edge-sealed so as not to expose a sharp edge.

In the outer peripheral portion upper bent portion 32c, the upper locking surface 32i and the lower locking surface 32k constitute a first rail portion R1 and a second rail portion R2, respectively.

The opening upper bent portion 32j is a bent portion for reinforcing an inner edge portion on the upper side of the opening 32 t. The rear end portion of the opening upper bent portion 32j in the Y direction is subjected to edge sealing.

The upper beam-shaped portion 32C is formed by the structure having the bent portion having such a sectional shape.

Below the opening 32t, an opening lower bent portion 32d extends from the front portion 32b toward the rear side in the Y direction. The opening lower bent portion 32d is a bent portion for reinforcing the lower inner edge portion of the opening 32 t. The rear end portion of the opening lower bent portion 32d in the Y direction is subjected to edge sealing.

A bent portion 32e having a substantially J-shaped cross section, which extends to the front side in the Y direction and is folded back to the rear side, extends in the Y direction from the front surface portion 32b below the opening lower bent portion 32d.

The lower end of the bent portion 32e is an outer peripheral portion lower bent portion 32g extending further rearward than the front portion 32b toward the rear side in the Y direction. The rear end portion of the outer peripheral lower bent portion 32g in the Y direction is subjected to edge sealing.

The upper surface of the opening lower bent portion 32d is an upper locking surface 32p extending in the X direction, and constitutes a third rail portion R3.

The upper surface of the bent portion 32e is a lower locking surface 32R parallel to the XY plane, and constitutes a fourth rail portion R4.

The lower rail-like portion 32D is formed by the curved structure having such a sectional shape.

Similarly to the connection portions 22A and 22B in the second embodiment, the connection portions 32A and 32B are formed in shapes that are plane-symmetrical to each other with the YZ plane as a symmetry plane. In the following, the shapes corresponding to the connection portions 32A and 32B will be described using common reference numerals, and the shape of the connection portion 32B will be taken as an example.

As shown in fig. 15, the connecting portion 32B includes a fixing portion 32a bent toward the rear side in the Y direction and toward the center side in the X direction at an end portion on the right side in the X direction (lower right side in the figure shown in fig. 15) of the front portion 32B. The bending angle of the fixing portion 32a is matched with the inclination angle of the auxiliary water tank portion lateral surface 1g with respect to the ZX plane.

The fixing portion 32a includes a fixing member insertion hole 32v, a fixing member engagement groove 32u, and an insertion opening portion 32y, respectively, corresponding to the fixing member engagement groove 22u and the insertion opening portion 22y of the fixing portion 22a in the second embodiment.

The fixing member insertion hole 32v, the fixing member engagement groove 32u, and the insertion opening portion 32y constitute a through hole penetrating in the thickness direction of the fixing portion 32a.

The shapes of the fixing member insertion hole 32v, the fixing member engagement groove 32u, and the insertion opening portion 32y are the same as the shapes of the openings of the fixing member engagement groove 22u and the insertion opening portion 22y when viewed from the abutment surface portion 2w side in the second embodiment.

The plate thickness of the fixed portion 32a is the same as the flat plate portion 22x of the fixed portion 22a in the second embodiment.

However, when the plate thickness of the fixing portion 32a and the plate thickness of the flat plate portion 22x cannot be made to coincide with each other in order to ensure the necessary rigidity of the partition member 32, the length of the engaging pin 29a of the fixing member 29 may be changed so that the fixing portion 32a can be inserted between the stopper portion 29b and the auxiliary water tank portion lateral surface 1 g.

According to the partition member 32 having such a configuration, the partition member 32 can be attached to and detached from the water tub main body 21, similarly to the partition member 22 in the second embodiment.

Since the partition member 32 is formed by bending, for example, a stainless steel plate can be used and can be manufactured at low cost.

As in the second embodiment, the partition member 32 includes the first rail portion R1, the second rail portion R2, the third rail portion R3, and the fourth rail portion R4. Therefore, as in the second embodiment, the wire basket 3, the drain board 4, the drain baskets 5 and 6, the board 7, and the like can be slidably engaged by these guide rail portions.

According to the washing table 103 of the present embodiment, since only the manufacturing process and the outer shape of the partition member 32 are partially different from those of the partition member 22, the structural restrictions of the members disposed in the auxiliary water tank can be reduced, and the auxiliary water tank can be used with more functions, as in the second embodiment.

[ second modification ]

Next, a description will be given of a multifunction water tank according to a modification (second modification) of the present embodiment.

Fig. 17 is a schematic perspective partial sectional view showing a sectional structure of a partition member of a multifunction water tank according to a modification (second modification) of the third embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 18 is a perspective view showing a structure of an engaging portion of a partition member of a multifunction water tank according to a modification (second modification) of the third embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 17, a washing table 104 (a multifunction water tank) of the present modification includes a partition member 42 instead of the partition member 32 of the third embodiment.

The following description focuses on differences from the third embodiment.

As shown in fig. 17, the partition member 42 in the present modification is a composite member including a metal portion 42E and a resin portion 42F.

The metal part 42E has a shape in which the bent portions of the fixing parts 32a of the partition member 32 in the third embodiment are eliminated. That is, the metal portion 42E includes, instead of the outer peripheral portion upper bent portion 32c, the opening upper bent portion 32j, the opening lower bent portion 32d, and the outer peripheral portion lower bent portion 32g in the third embodiment, an outer peripheral portion upper bent portion 42c, an opening upper bent portion 42j, an opening lower bent portion 42d, a bent portion 42E, and an outer peripheral portion lower bent portion 42g, in which edge portions obtained by removing the edge seal processing portions and performing punching processing are exposed to end portions.

The metal material of the metal portion 42E is not particularly limited as long as it can be bent.

As shown in fig. 17 and 18, the resin portion 42F is a structural portion that covers the rear side of the metal portion 42E in the Y direction and the portion subjected to edge sealing in the third embodiment, and has connecting portions 42A and 42B formed at both ends of the metal portion 42E in the X direction.

As shown in fig. 17, the resin portion 42F substantially uniformly covers the rear side in the Y direction in the metal portion 42E, thereby increasing the thickness of the shape of the metal portion 42E. Therefore, instead of the upper beam-shaped portion 32C and the lower beam-shaped portion 32D of the third embodiment, an upper beam-shaped portion 42C and a lower beam-shaped portion 42D having a composite structure formed of a metal portion 42E and a resin portion 42F are formed, respectively.

The bending rigidity of the upper beam-shaped portion 42C and the lower beam-shaped portion 42D can be adjusted to an appropriate bending rigidity according to the bending modulus and the layer thickness of the resin portion 42F.

Further, the resin portion 42F is laminated so as to cover the edge portion at the portion subjected to the edge banding in the third embodiment described above. Therefore, the edge portion of the partition member 42 is completely covered with the resin portion 42F.

As shown in fig. 18, the connecting portions 42A and 42B formed of the resin portion 42F each include a fixed portion 42A that is a flat plate portion formed at the same position as the fixed portion 32A in the third embodiment.

The fixing portion 42a is formed with a fixing member engagement groove 22u, a fixing member insertion hole 22v, and an insertion opening 22y, as in the second embodiment.

Therefore, the partition member 42 is detachably fixed to the water tub main body 21 by the fixing portion 42a, as in the second embodiment.

According to this configuration, the metal portion 42E of the partition member 42 is formed with the upper locking surface 32i and the lower locking surface 32r, which are the same as those of the third embodiment, on the outer peripheral portion upper bent portion 32c and the bent portion 42E. The upper locking surface 32i and the lower locking surface 32R constitute a first rail portion R1 and a fourth rail portion R4, respectively.

Upper locking surfaces 42i and 42p are formed on the resin portion 42F of the partition member 42 at portions covering the upper sides of the outer peripheral portion upper bent portion 42c and the opening portion lower bent portion 42d. The upper locking surfaces 42i and 42p form the second rail portion R2 and the third rail portion R3, respectively.

The partition member 42 of such a structure is manufactured by forming the resin portion 42F on the metal portion 42E by resin embedding.

The partition member 42 is manufactured by forming a metal portion 42E having a simpler shape than the partition member 32 by bending, and then combining resin portions 42F so as to cover the edge portions. Therefore, the partition member 42 can manufacture the metal part 42E at a lower cost than the partition member 32 in the third embodiment, and thus the component cost can be reduced.

Since fixing portion 42a is formed of resin portion 42F, even if metal portion 42E is formed of a metal different from the metal material of water tub main body 21, electrolytic corrosion can be prevented.

As in the third embodiment, the partition member 42 includes the first rail portion R1, the second rail portion R2, the third rail portion R3, and the fourth rail portion R4. Therefore, as in the third embodiment, the wire basket 3, the drain board 4, the drain baskets 5 and 6, the board 7, and the like can be slidably engaged by these guide rail portions.

At this time, since the first rail portion R1 and the fourth rail portion R4, which require higher load resistance and higher sliding resistance than the second rail portion R2 for engaging the wire basket 3, are formed by the metal portion 42E, durability can be improved compared to the case where these rail portions are made of resin.

According to the washing table 104 of the present modification, since only a part of the manufacturing process and the outer shape of the partition member 42 is different from the partition member 32, the structural restrictions of the members disposed in the auxiliary water tank can be reduced, and the auxiliary water tank can be used with more functions, as in the third embodiment.

[ third modification ]

Next, a partition member used in the multifunction sink according to a modification (third modification) of the present embodiment will be described.

Fig. 19 is a schematic perspective view showing a partition member of a multipurpose water tank according to a modification (third modification) of the third embodiment of the present invention.

The partition member 32E of the present modification shown in fig. 19 can be used in place of the partition member 42 of the third embodiment described above for the washing table 103.

The following description focuses on differences from the third embodiment.

As shown in fig. 19, the partition member 32E in the present modification is configured by eliminating the opening 32t of the partition member 32 of the third embodiment and the respective bent portions from the opening 32 t.

That is, the partition member 32E has an outer peripheral upper bent portion 32c similar to that of the third embodiment connected to the upper end portion of the rectangular front surface portion 32b when viewed in the Y direction. A bent portion 32e similar to that of the third embodiment is connected to a lower end of the front portion 32b.

Fixing portions 32A constituting the same connecting portions 32A, 32B as in the third embodiment are connected to both ends of the front portion 32B in the X direction.

With this configuration, the spacer member 32E is formed with the upper locking surface 32i, the lower locking surface 32k, and the lower locking surface 32r as in the third embodiment. The upper locking surface 32i, the lower locking surface 32k, and the lower locking surface 32R constitute a first rail portion R1, a second rail portion R2, and a fourth rail portion R4, respectively.

Like the third embodiment, the partition member 32E having such a structure is manufactured by bending the same metal material as the water tub main body 21.

In the modified example, the opening 32t is not formed in the front portion 32b, and therefore, the bending rigidity can be improved as compared with the case where the opening 32t is provided.

When the first placement member and the second placement member are locked, the partition member 32E can be used in the washing table 103 instead of the partition member 32 in the case of a structure in which the opening 32t is not used.

For example, when the first placement member places a light load of the items to be placed, the partition member 32 is attached to the washing table 103, and when the first placement member places a higher load of the items to be placed, the partition member 32 can be replaced with the partition member 32E for use.

As in the third embodiment, the partition member 32E includes the first rail portion R1, the second rail portion R2, and the fourth rail portion R4. Therefore, as in the third embodiment, the wire basket 3, the draining plate 4, the draining baskets 5 and 6, the plate 7, and the like can be slidably engaged by these guide rail portions.

According to the washing table 103 to which the partition member 32E of the present modification is attached, as in the third embodiment, the structural restrictions of the members disposed in the auxiliary water tank portion can be reduced, and the auxiliary water tank portion can be used with more functions.

[ fourth embodiment ]

Next, a multipurpose water tank according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Fig. 20 is a schematic perspective view showing a configuration of a main part of a multifunction sink according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 21 is a sectional view H-H in fig. 20. Fig. 22 is a schematic plan view showing a configuration of a main portion of a multifunction sink according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 23 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a fixing structure between a partition member and an auxiliary water tank portion of a multi-functional water tank according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 24 is a schematic perspective view of a partition member of a multipurpose water tank according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 25 is a sectional view taken along line I-I in fig. 24.

As shown in fig. 20, a washing table 105 (a multifunction sink) according to the present embodiment includes a sink body 51 and a partition member 52 instead of the sink body 1 and the partition member 22 according to the first embodiment.

The following description focuses on differences from the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 21, the water tank body 51 includes a water tank portion 51A, an auxiliary water tank portion 51B, and fixing members 59E and 59F instead of the water tank portion 1A, the auxiliary water tank portion 1B, and the fixing member 9 of the water tank body 1 in the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 22, the water tank 51A is different from the water tank 1A in that a water tank side surface 1b similar to the water tank 1A in the first embodiment extends in the X direction from the rear side in the Y direction.

The water tank side surfaces 1b of the water tank 51A have rear side water tank side surfaces 1i extending in the X direction from the rear side in the Y direction at both ends in the X direction.

The rear side water groove portion side surface 1i is formed with a rear side rail portion 1k as a step portion arranged along a horizontal plane at a position having a predetermined depth from the flat plate portion 1C. The positions of the rear side rail portion 1k in the Z direction are the same as the front side rail portion 1c and the lateral side rail portion 1d.

As shown in fig. 21, the rear water groove side surface 1i above the rear rail 1k has almost the same inclination as the rear water groove side surface 1i below, and extends upward from the outer edge of the rear rail 1k.

The rear rail portion 1k is formed on the rear water groove portion side surface 1i so as to extend in the X direction.

The rear side water groove side surface 1i of the water groove portion 51A bulges outward to form an auxiliary water groove portion 51B. The difference from the auxiliary water tank portion 1B of the first embodiment is that the auxiliary water tank portion 51B is narrower in width in the Y direction than the auxiliary water tank portion 1B of the first embodiment, and that a rail portion 51c is formed on the auxiliary water tank portion lateral side surface 1g and the auxiliary water tank portion rear side surface 1h.

The position of the rail portion 51c in the Z direction is the same as each rear rail portion 1k. The rail portion 51c is smoothly connected to the rear side rail portion 1k at the connection portion with the water tank portion 51A.

As shown in fig. 21, the auxiliary water groove rear side surface 1h above the rail 51c has almost the same inclination as the auxiliary water groove rear side surface 1h on the lower side, and extends upward from the outer edge of the rail 51c. Although not particularly shown, the same applies to the positional relationship of the guide rail portion 51c with respect to the auxiliary water tank portion lateral surface 1g in the present embodiment.

The upper end of the auxiliary water tank 51B is connected to a rear flat plate 1m extending rearward in the Y direction from the upper end of the rear water tank side surface 1i of the water tank 51A.

The rear flat plate portion 1m is substantially parallel (including parallel) with respect to the XY plane. The rear flat plate portion 1m may also be slightly inclined with respect to the XY plane for draining. The rear flat plate portion 1m is slightly lower than the flat plate portion 1C.

The fixing members 59E and 59F may have different shapes, and in the present embodiment, for example, have the same shape. The fixing members 59E and 59F are disposed at different positions in the auxiliary water tank 51B.

As shown in fig. 21, the fixing member 59E is provided at the upper end of the auxiliary water tank lateral side surface 1g so as to protrude inward of the auxiliary water tank 51B.

The fixing member 59F is provided to protrude toward the inside of the auxiliary water tank 51B at the upper end of the lower portion of the auxiliary water tank lateral surface 1g partitioned by the rail 51c.

The fixing members 59E and 59F are disposed in the vicinity of the connection portion between the rear water tank side surface 1i and the auxiliary water tank lateral side surface 1g when viewed in the Z direction.

Although not particularly shown, the fixing members 59E and 59F are also provided at positions that are plane-symmetrical with respect to the YZ plane on the auxiliary water tank lateral side 1g at the positions facing each other in the Y direction.

As shown in fig. 23, the fixing members 59E and 59F each include an engaging pin 29a similar to the second embodiment and a retaining portion 59b disposed at a distal end portion of the engaging pin 29a in the protruding direction. In the present embodiment, the engagement pin 29a is provided to protrude toward the inside of the auxiliary water groove portion 51B. The retaining portion 59b is different from the retaining portion 29b in the second embodiment only in that the protruding direction is a convex curved surface.

In the present embodiment, each engagement pin 29a is a cylindrical member having an outer diameter capable of engaging with the fixing member engagement groove 22u of the upper fixing portion 52E and the lower fixing portion 52F of the partition member 52, which will be described later.

The engaging pin 29a protrudes from the auxiliary water tank lateral surface 1g to a height that can engage with a flat plate portion 22x of an upper fixing portion 52E and a lower fixing portion 52F of a partition member 52, which will be described later.

Unlike the partition member 2 of the first embodiment, the partition member 52 has a structure similar to that of the partition member 22 of the second embodiment. The partition member 22 of the second embodiment is manufactured by press forming and resin fitting, but is different in that the main portion of the partition member 52 is manufactured by bending a plate. In addition, the length of the partition member 52 in the X direction is shorter than the partition member 22 of the second embodiment described above, corresponding to the case where the width of the auxiliary water groove portion 51B in the X direction is narrow.

As shown in fig. 24, the partition member 52 includes an upper beam-shaped portion 52C, a lower beam-shaped portion 52D, and connecting portions 52A, 52B, respectively, corresponding to the upper beam-shaped portion 22C, the lower beam-shaped portion 22D, and the connecting portions 22A, 22B of the partition member 22.

The partition member 52 is subjected to a flat plate bending process to form the opening 52t, the upper beam-shaped portion 52C, and the lower beam-shaped portion 52D.

The opening 52t is surrounded by the upper beam-shaped portion 52C, the lower beam-shaped portion 52D, and the columnar portion 52G connecting the upper beam-shaped portion 52C and the lower beam-shaped portion 52D in the Z direction at both ends in the X direction. The opening 52t is formed in a rectangular shape elongated in the X direction when viewed from the Y direction.

As shown in fig. 25, a C-shaped cross-sectional folded portion that opens downward in the Z direction extends in the X direction to form an upper rail-shaped portion 52C. An upper locking surface 52i parallel to the YZ plane is formed at the upper end of the upper beam-like portion 52C. The upper locking surface 52i constitutes the first rail portion R1 similar to the first embodiment.

A C-shaped cross-sectional folded portion that opens downward in the Z direction extends in the X direction to form a lower rail-shaped portion 52D. A lower locking surface 52r parallel to the YZ plane is formed at the upper end of the lower beam-like portion 52D.

As shown in fig. 22, the lower locking surface 52r protrudes in the Y direction toward the water tank side 51A side than the upper locking surface 52i when viewed from the upper side in the Z direction.

The lower locking surface 52R constitutes a fourth rail portion R4 similar to the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 24 to 26, each columnar portion 52G includes a flat plate-like front surface portion 52b parallel to the XZ plane and a bent portion 52n extending in the Z direction at an end portion of the opening portion 52t in the X direction.

The lower end of the front surface portion 52b and the lower beam-shaped portion 52D are connected by a flat plate portion 52z extending in the Y direction along the lower locking surface 52r. Like the lower locking surface 52R, the flat plate portion 52z constitutes a part of the fourth rail portion R4.

Similarly to the connectors 2A and 2B in the first embodiment, the connectors 52A and 52B are formed in shapes that are plane-symmetrical to each other with the YZ plane as a plane of symmetry. In the following, the shapes corresponding to the connection portions 52A and 52B are given common reference numerals, and the shape of the connection portion 52A is described as an example.

As shown in fig. 25, the connecting portion 52A includes a resin portion 52A, which is resin-fitted into the inner sides of the upper beam-shaped portion 52C and the lower beam-shaped portion 52D and the side of the columnar portion 52G, at the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the partition member 52.

As shown in fig. 26, the resin portion 52a includes an upper fixing portion 52E protruding from an end portion of the upper beam-like portion 52C in the X direction in an inclined direction toward the rear side in the Y direction and the center portion side in the X direction along the XY plane. The upper fixing portion 52E includes an abutment surface portion 52w at a portion abutting against the auxiliary water tank portion lateral surface 1g on the upper side of the guide rail portion 51c.

The resin portion 52a includes a lower fixing portion 52F extending from an end portion of the lower beam-like portion 52D in the X direction in parallel with the upper fixing portion 52E. The lower fixing portion 52F includes an abutment surface portion 52y at a portion abutting against the auxiliary water tank portion lateral surface 1g on the lower side than the guide rail portion 51c.

As shown in fig. 22, the angles of the abutment surface portions 52w, 52y as viewed in the Z direction are matched with the inclination angle of the auxiliary water tank portion lateral surface 1g with respect to the ZX plane.

As shown in fig. 25, a fixing member insertion hole 52v is formed in the inner surface 52W (52Y) of the upper fixing portion 52E (lower fixing portion 52F) on the opposite side of the abutment surface portion 52W (52Y) (see fig. 26).

The fixing member insertion hole 52v is a U-shaped hole portion extending in the Z-axis direction and opening downward in the Z-direction. The opening width of the fixing member insertion hole 52v and the radius of the R portion are formed to have a size that allows the retaining portion 59b of the fixing members 59E and 59F to be inserted.

As shown in fig. 23, inside the fixing member insertion hole 52v, a flat plate portion 52x separated from the abutment surface portion 52W (52Y) and the inner side surface 52W (52Y) extends in parallel with the abutment surface portion 52W (52Y).

As shown in fig. 26, a fixed member engaging groove 22u similar to that of the second embodiment described above penetrates through the flat plate portion 52x in the thickness direction.

The fixing member insertion hole 52v formed in the upper fixing portion 52E (lower fixing portion 52F) receives the retaining portion 59b of the fixing member 59E (59F).

The fixing member engaging groove 22u formed in the upper fixing portion 52E (lower fixing portion 52F) engages with the engaging pin 59a of the fixing member 59E (59F).

The protruding height of the engaging pin 29a from the auxiliary water tank lateral side surface 1g is slightly larger than the distance from the abutting surface portion 52W (52Y) to the surface of the flat plate portion 52x on the inner side surface 52W (52Y) side.

In order to manufacture the partition member 52 having such a structure, first, the shapes of the upper rail-shaped portion 2C, the lower rail-shaped portion 2D, and the columnar portion 52G are formed by press working a metal plate. Next, the connection portions 52A and 52B are formed by resin-insert molding on the metal plate subjected to press working using an appropriate molding die. The same material as that of the partition member 22 in the second embodiment can be used for the metal plate and the resin material.

According to the partition member 52, the partition member 52 can be attached to and detached from the water tank main body 51 in substantially the same manner as the partition member 22 in the second embodiment described above.

In the second embodiment, the fixing portions 22A of the connecting portions 22A and 22B are attached to and detached from one fixing member 29. In contrast, in the present embodiment, the upper fixing portion 52E and the lower fixing portion 52F of the connecting portion 52A (52B) are attached to and detached from the fixing members 59E and 59F, respectively.

As described above, since the partition member 52 in the present embodiment has more fixing locations than the partition member 22 in the second embodiment, the load applied to the fixing location for each location can be reduced. Therefore, the load-resisting performance of the partition member 52 can be improved.

In the present embodiment, the upper fixing portion 52E and the lower fixing portion 52F of the connecting portion 52A (52B) are engaged with the fixing members 59E and 59F provided at different positions, respectively, so that the fixing posture of the partition member 52 is more stable.

As shown in fig. 21, when the partition member 52 is fixed to the fixing members 59E, 59F, the first rail portion R1 is arranged at the same height as the rear flat plate portion 1m in the vicinity of the upper end portion of the rear water groove portion side surface 1i. Similarly, the fourth rail portion R4 is arranged at the same height as the rear rail portion 1k.

As shown in fig. 22, when the partition member 52 is fixed to the fixing members 59E and 59F, the end of the first rail portion R1 on the water tank portion 51A side is located at substantially the same position as the upper end of the rear water tank portion side surface 1i when viewed from the Z direction. Similarly, the fourth rail portion R4 is located on the extension line of the rear rail portion 1k.

Therefore, the first rail portion R1 is adjacent to each rear flat plate portion 1m with a slight gap therebetween in the X direction. The fourth rail portion R4 is adjacent to each rear rail portion 1k with a slight gap therebetween in the X direction.

The partition member 52 fixed in such a positional relationship includes the first rail portion R1 and the fourth rail portion R4, as in the first embodiment. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, the first placement member can be slidably locked to the upper side or the inside of the water tank 51A by these guide rail portions.

Further, since the first rail portion R1 (fourth rail portion R4) is adjacent to each rear flat plate portion 1m (each rear rail portion 1 k) having the same height, the first placement member can be smoothly moved on either the first rail portion R1 (fourth rail portion R4) or each rear flat plate portion 1m (each rear rail portion 1 k).

Here, an example of the first placement member and the second placement member that can be placed in the water tank main body 51 of the present embodiment will be described.

In the water tank main body 51 shown in fig. 20, as accessories that can be attached and detached from above the water tank portion 51A, a plate 54 (first placement member), the same draining baskets 5 and 6 (first placement member) as in the first embodiment, and a plate 57 (first placement member) are disposed.

The plate 54 is a placement plate for placing objects to be cleaned, cooking materials, cooking utensils, tableware, and the like in the inside of the sink portion 51A.

The plate 54 is made of, for example, a stainless steel plate whose outer peripheral portion is bent by crimping. The plate 54 has a rectangular shape elongated in the Y direction. As shown in fig. 21, the plate 54 has a front locking portion 54b as a front end in the Y direction locked to the front rail portion 1c of the water tank 51A from above. A rear locking portion 54a, which is a rear end portion in the Y direction of the plate 54, is locked to at least one of the fourth rail portion R4 of the partition member 52 and the rear rail portion 1k of the water tank portion 51A from above.

The plate 54 is disposed across the inside of the water tank 51A. The plate 54 can be moved in the X direction by sliding on the upper surface of at least one of the front side rail portion 1c, the fourth rail portion R4, and the rear side rail portion 1k.

The first embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the drain basket 5 (6) in the present embodiment is disposed so as to pass through the inside (upper portion) of the water tank portion 51A by the rear locking portion 5a (6 a), not shown, being locked to at least one of the fourth rail portion R4 and the rear rail portion 1k (at least one of the first rail portion R1 and the rear flat plate portion 1 m).

As shown in fig. 20, the plate 57 is an example of a first placement member disposed above the water tank portion 51A.

The plate 57 is a placing plate on which objects to be washed, cooking materials, cooking utensils, tableware, and the like are placed, for example. The plate 57 has a rectangular shape elongated in the Y direction. A plurality of grooves for draining are formed in the upper surface portion 57a of the plate 57.

Upper locking portions 57c formed by bending a metal wire or a pipe are projected in the Y direction from both longitudinal ends of the plate 57.

As shown in fig. 21, the lower surface portion 57d of the plate 57 is formed at a position having a distance from the lower portion of the upper locking portion 57C equal to the distance between the upper surface of the flat plate portion 1C of the water tank main body 51 and the first rail portion R1 of the partition member 52

When one of the upper locking portions 57C is disposed on the front flat plate portion 1C in the Y direction, the dimension of the lower surface portion 57d in the Y direction has a size that allows the end of the lower surface portion 57d on the rear side in the Y direction to be disposed on the first rail portion R1 of the spacer member 52.

Therefore, the upper locking portion 57C on one side of the plate 57 can be locked to the front flat plate portion 1C in the Y direction, and the lower surface portion 57d on the opposite side of the upper locking portion 57C in the Y direction can be locked to at least one of the first rail portion R1 and the rear flat plate portion 1m. In this case, the plate 57 is disposed across the upper part of the water tank 51A with the upper surface part 57a parallel to the XY plane.

The plate 57 is movable in the X direction by sliding on the upper surface of the flat plate portion 1C and the upper surface of at least one of the first rail portion R1 and the rear rail portion 1k.

The partition member 52 in the present embodiment does not have the second locking portion as the second rail portion R2 in the first embodiment. When the first placement member is not placed on any of the first rail portion R1 and the fourth rail portion R4, the second placement member may be placed on the first rail portion R1 and the fourth rail portion R4 in the present embodiment.

However, when the first placement member is placed on the first rail portion R1 and the fourth rail portion R4, the first placement member cannot be placed on the first rail portion R1 and the fourth rail portion R4.

However, in the present embodiment, since the auxiliary water groove portion 51B includes the rail portion 51c, the second placement member can be placed by using the rail portion 51c of the auxiliary water groove portion 51B without using the partition member 52.

Next, an example of a second placement member that can be placed in the auxiliary water tank 51B will be described.

Fig. 27 is a schematic perspective view showing a configuration example of a second placement member that can be disposed in a multipurpose water tank according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 20, the wire basket 53 is an example of a second placement member disposed inside the auxiliary water tank 51B. The wire basket 53 is detachably disposed inside the auxiliary water tank 51B from above.

For example, the wire basket 53 is a container capable of storing cleaning tools such as sponge and brush, detergents, cooking utensils, objects to be drained, and the like.

The shape of the wire basket 53 is not particularly limited as long as it can be disposed inside the auxiliary water tank 51B without being locked to the partition member 52.

As shown in fig. 27, the wire basket 53 in the present embodiment includes, as an example, a first wire portion 53A, a second wire portion 53B, and a third wire portion 53C.

The first wire portion 53A is formed of a gate-shaped wire bent so as to open to the lower side in the Z direction when viewed from the Y direction.

As shown in fig. 21, the first wire portion 53A is formed of a lower frame portion 53d and an upper frame portion 53e, the lower frame portion 53d being located closer to the guide rail portion 51c side of the auxiliary water tank portion 51B and being parallel to the auxiliary water tank portion rear side surface 1h, and the upper frame portion 53e extending along the vertical surface above the upper end of the lower frame portion 53d, when viewed from the X direction.

The lower frame portion 53d is curved from the lower end of the upper frame portion 53e in the ZX plane. The lower frame portion 53d is inclined to the front side in the Y direction with respect to the vertical surface at an inclination angle slightly larger than the inclination angle of the rear side surface 1h of the auxiliary water tank portion with respect to the vertical surface. Therefore, as shown in fig. 21, in a state where the upper end of the lower frame portion 53d is in contact with the upper end of the auxiliary water tank rear surface 1h, the lower frame portion 53d separates from the auxiliary water tank rear surface 1h toward the front side in the Y direction as it progresses downward.

As shown in fig. 27, the second wire portion 53B includes a locking portion 53a, a front outer frame portion 53c, and a bottom portion 53B.

The locking portion 53a is formed by a wire rod bent in a shape along the rail portion 51c of the auxiliary water groove portion 51B when viewed from the Z direction. In the present embodiment, the locking portion 53a is bent into a substantially trapezoidal shape similar to the rail portion 51c.

The locking portion 53a is a locking portion that is locked to the guide rail portion 51c of the auxiliary water groove portion 51B from above. The locking portion 53a is also an outer frame portion that defines the outer shape of the rear side in the Y direction and both end portions in the X direction of the second wire portion 53B.

The lower end of the lower frame portion 53d of the first wire portion 53A is fixed to the inside of the straight portion on the rear side in the Y direction of the locking portion 53A.

The front outer frame portion 53c is an outer frame portion that defines the outer shape of the front side of the second wire portion 53B in the Y direction. The front outer frame portion 53c is not particularly limited as long as it has a shape that does not interfere with the partition member 52 when the wire basket 53 is disposed in the auxiliary water tank portion 51B.

In the example shown in fig. 27, the front outer frame portion 53c extends linearly in the X direction at a position slightly higher than the locking portion 53 a. Both ends of the front outer frame portion 53c in the X direction are connected to ends of the locking portions 53a on the front side in the Y direction via gate-shaped bent portions 53f protruding in the Z direction.

Each bent portion 53F is formed in a shape that spans each lower fixing portion 52F of the partition member 52 fixed to the auxiliary water tank portion 51B when the wire basket 53 is disposed inside the auxiliary water tank portion 51B.

The locking portion 53a and the front outer frame portion 53c form a closed loop having a substantially trapezoidal shape when viewed from the Z direction.

The bottom portion 53b is formed by a wire group arranged in a lattice shape inside the outer frame formed by the locking portion 53a and the front outer frame portion 53c. The linear portion extending in the X direction and the linear portion extending in the Y direction intersect each other to form a bottom portion 53b.

The lattice pitch in the bottom 53b is selected to be an appropriate pitch that allows placement and drainage according to the size of the arrangement stored in the wire basket 53.

As shown in fig. 21, the third wire part 53C is a frame part located above the flat plate part 1C located more rearward than the auxiliary water groove rear side surface 1h when the second wire part 53B is placed on the rail part 51C of the auxiliary water groove 51B.

As shown in fig. 27, the third wire portion 53C includes a beam-like portion 53h, a rear frame portion 53g, and a lattice portion 53i.

The beam-shaped portion 53h is a linear portion extending in the Y direction from each lower end of the upper frame portion 53e toward the side opposite to the second wire portion 53B.

The rear frame portion 53g is a frame-shaped portion having the same shape as the upper frame portion 53e of the first wire portion 53A. Each lower end of the rear frame portion 53g is connected to a front end portion of the beam-like portion 53h in the extending direction. The rear frame portion 53g faces the upper frame portion 53e at a predetermined distance in the Y direction.

The lattice portion 53i is fixed to each of the beam-shaped portions 53h opposed to each other in the X direction, and is a plurality of linear portions extending in the X direction.

With this configuration, the upper frame portion 53e and the third wire portion 53C constitute a rectangular solid frame portion which is elongated in the X direction when viewed from the Z direction and has a rectangular groove shape which opens upward when viewed from the Y direction. The lattice portion 53i constitutes the bottom of the solid frame portion. An appropriate arrangement may be provided inside the space frame portion so as to be able to drain water. In the stereoscopic frame portion, the upper frame portion 53e and the rear frame portion 53g also have a function of a handle for a user to hold when the wire basket 53 is attached to and detached from the auxiliary water tank portion 51B.

The wire basket 53 can be formed by a wire made of metal or resin.

As shown in fig. 21, the wire basket 53 is inserted so as to fall from above the auxiliary water tank 51B, and is thereby disposed inside the auxiliary water tank 51B (hereinafter, referred to as a standing state).

In the set state, the locking portion 53a abuts against the rail portion 51c from above. The front outer frame portion 53c is disposed at a position facing the opening 52t of the partition member 52, and is separated from the partition member 52.

As shown in fig. 22, the bent portions 53F are in a positional relationship across the lower fixing portions 52F. Thus, even if the wire basket 53 moves to the front side in the Y direction (the side facing the partition member 52), each bent portion 53f stops at a position where it collides with the columnar portion 52G of the partition member 52. The clearance between each bent portion 53f and the columnar portion 52G is set to a size such that the locking portion 53a does not come off the guide rail portion 51c even if the wire basket 53 moves maximally in the Y direction.

In the laid state, the second wire part 53B of the wire basket 53 covers the inside of the guide rail part 51c inside the auxiliary water groove part 51B. The second wire parts 53B constitute a lattice frame that vertically partitions the internal space of the auxiliary water groove part 51B.

As shown in fig. 22, the movement range of the wire basket 53 in the Y direction is limited by the position of the columnar portion 52G of the partition member 52 and the position of the auxiliary water groove rear side surface 1h above the guide rail portion 51c.

With this arrangement, for example, the user holds the upper frame portion 53e and the rear frame portion 53g exposed to the flat plate portion 1C and lifts them upward, thereby taking out the wire basket 53 arranged in the auxiliary water tank portion 51B to the outside of the auxiliary water tank portion 51B.

According to washing table 105 of the present embodiment, since water tub main body 51 includes partition member 52, the first placement member can be placed on the upper side or inside of water tub portion 51A without locking the first placement member to the second placement member. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, the structural restrictions of the components disposed in the auxiliary water tank can be reduced, and the auxiliary water tank can be used with more functions.

According to the washing table 105 of the present embodiment, since the auxiliary water tank 51B includes the guide rail 51c on which the second placement member is placed, even if the second placement member such as the wire basket 53 is placed in the auxiliary water tank 51B, the load of the second placement member does not act on the partition member 52. Therefore, the load of the partition member 52 can be reduced. As a result, the rigidity of the partition member 52 can be reduced or the partition member 52 can be made lightweight.

Since the auxiliary water groove portion 51B includes the guide rail portion 51c that supports the outer peripheral portion of the second placement member from below, an appropriate housing or container having an outer peripheral portion at the bottom that engages with the guide rail portion 51c from above can be used as the second placement member.

[ fifth embodiment ]

Next, a multifunction sink according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Fig. 28 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a configuration of a main part of a multifunction sink according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 29 is a schematic perspective view of a partition member of a multifunction sink according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the configuration of the main part shown in fig. 28, a washing table 106 (a multifunction sink) according to the present embodiment includes a sink main body 61 and a partition member 62 instead of the partition member 22 of the sink main body 1 according to the first embodiment.

The following description will focus on differences from the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 28, the water tank main body 61 includes a water tank portion 61A instead of the water tank portion 1A of the water tank main body 1 in the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 28, the water tank portion 61A does not include the lateral side rail portion 1d of the water tank portion 1A in the first embodiment, and includes front side rail portions 61d and 61e instead of the front side rail portion 1c.

The front guide rails 61d and 61e are formed of ribs protruding from the front side surface 1b of the water tank portion in the Y direction toward the inside of the water tank portion 61A. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the water tank side surface 1b below the front rail portion 61e, the water tank side surface 1b sandwiched between the front rail portions 61d and 61e, and the water tank side surface 1b above the front rail portion 61d are all arranged on substantially the same plane (including the case of the same plane).

As with the front rail portion 1c, the front rail portions 61d, 61e of the water tank portion side surface 1b extend in the X direction, and the respective upper surfaces are parallel to the XY plane.

The front rail portion 61d is located above the front rail portion 61e with respect to the position in the Z direction.

The front side rail portions 61d, 61e may be formed in any manner as long as they are the same structure that receives the specification load of the first placed member as the front side rail portion 1c. In the present embodiment, the front rail portions 61d and 61e are formed integrally with the water tub main body 1 by, for example, drawing.

As shown in fig. 28 and 29, the partition member 62 includes a first beam-shaped portion 62C, a second beam-shaped portion 62D, and a third beam-shaped portion 62E instead of the upper beam-shaped portion 2C and the lower beam-shaped portion 2D of the partition member 2 of the first embodiment.

The partition member 62 is fixed to the auxiliary water tank 1B at the connecting portions 2A and 2B in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The structure of the partition member 62 fixed to the auxiliary water tank 1B will be described below.

The first beam-shaped portion 62C, the second beam-shaped portion 62D, and the third beam-shaped portion 62E have a square tubular shape in cross section along the ZX plane (see fig. 28). The first beam portion 62C, the second beam portion 62D, and the third beam portion 62E extend in the X direction. An upper locking surface 62C, a first lower locking surface 62D, and a second lower locking surface 62E are formed on the upper surfaces of the first beam-shaped portion 62C, the second beam-shaped portion 62D, and the third beam-shaped portion 62E, respectively, as first locking portions for locking at least the first placement member.

Openings 62t and 62s penetrating in the Y direction are formed between the first beam-shaped portion 62C and the second beam-shaped portion 62D and between the second beam-shaped portion 62D and the third beam-shaped portion 62E.

The openings 62t and 62s are rectangular in shape elongated in the X direction when viewed from the Y direction.

The upper locking surface 62c is formed at the same position as the upper locking surface 2i of the partition member 2 of the first embodiment.

The first lower locking surface 62d is formed at the same height as the upper surface of the front rail 61 d.

The second lower locking surface 62e is formed at the same height as the upper surface of the front rail 61e.

With this configuration, as shown in fig. 28, the first placement member, for example, the plate 7 can be placed on the upper surfaces of the flat plate portion 1C and the upper locking surface 62C, and the first placement member can be slid and moved in the X direction.

The upper locking surface 62c forms a first guide rail R1 (first locking portion) on the upper side of the water tank portion, which can lock the first placement member disposed so as to traverse the inside of the water tank portion when viewed from the Z direction.

A first placement member, for example, the drain board 4, can be placed on the upper surface of the front rail portion 61d (61 e) and the first lower locking surface 62d (second lower locking surface 62 e), and the first placement member can slide in the X direction.

The first lower locking surface 62d and the second lower locking surface 62e both constitute a fourth guide rail portion R4 (first locking portion) that can lock the first placement member disposed so as to traverse the inside of the water tank portion when viewed from the Z direction in the water tank portion. That is, the present embodiment is an example of a case where a plurality of fourth rail portions R4 are provided at different heights.

Therefore, in the washing table 106, the first placement members can be disposed at two different heights in the water tank portion 61A, and the space in the water tank portion 61A can be used effectively and in multiple functions.

The first rail portion R1 and the fourth rail portions R4 in the present embodiment may be used as second locking portions for locking the second placement member in a portion where the first placement member is not disposed.

According to the washing table 106 of the present embodiment, since the water tank main body 61 includes the front rail portions 61d and 61e and the partition member 62, the first placement member can be placed on the upper side or inside of the water tank portion 61A without locking the first placement member to the second placement member. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, the structural restrictions of the components disposed in the auxiliary water tank can be reduced, and the auxiliary water tank can be used with more functions.

In the washing table 106, the front guide rails 61d and 61e are formed to protrude inward from the water tank side surface 1b, and therefore, even if the first placement member has the same dimension in the Y direction, the first placement member can be arranged in any one of the sets of the front guide rail 61d, the first lower locking surface 62d, the front guide rail 61e, and the second lower locking surface 62e in the same manner. Therefore, when the first placement member is disposed inside the water tank portion 61A, the arrangement position in the Z direction can be changed.

In the description of the above embodiments and modifications, the case where the drain plates 4 and 54, the drain baskets 5 and 6, and the plates 7 and 57 are used as the first placement member, and the wire baskets 3 and 53 are used as the second placement member has been described as an example. However, the first placement member and the second placement member are not limited to these examples.

For example, a rack or a drain basket that can slide in the X direction may be used as the second placement member.

For example, as the second placement member, a placement plate that is used by being placed on the inside or the upper portion of the auxiliary water tank 1B, such as the draining plates 4 and 54 and the plates 7 and 57, may be used.

In the above description of the embodiments and the modifications, the case where the partition member can dispose the first placement member or the second placement member at two or three positions different in the height direction has been described as an example. However, the first locking portion and the second locking portion may be provided in the partition member so that the first placement member or the second placement member can be disposed at four or more stages.

In the above description of the first and second embodiments, an example in which the partition member is constituted by an assembly having a four-part structure is described.

However, the partition member may be manufactured by, for example, die casting or the like integrally molded in the assembled state of the first embodiment.

For example, the divided member may be configured by integrating a plurality of parts by welding or the like.

In the above description of the second and third embodiments, an example of a structure in which the partition member is detachably fixed is described. However, the attaching and detaching structure of the partition member is not limited to these.

For example, the insertion opening portion into which the fixing member is inserted may be opened at the lower end portion of the fixing portion. In this case, the partition member can be attached and detached only by moving the partition member in the Z direction.

For example, the insertion opening is omitted by making the size of the fixing member insertion hole sufficiently larger than that of the fixing member. In this case, the rigidity of the fixing portion can be improved.

In the above description of the third embodiment and the third modification, the case where the fixing portion is made of a metal material was described as an example, but an insulator layer such as a resin may be formed in a contact portion with the water groove portion in the fixing portion.

In the description of the first to fourth embodiments and the first and third modifications, the case where the water tub main body includes the lateral side rail 1d has been described as an example.

However, in each of the embodiments and the modifications, the first placement member is arranged to be movable in the X direction, and is supported from below by the front side rail portion 1c and the partition member so as to withstand a specification load. Therefore, the lateral guide rail portion 1d is not necessarily required in the water tub main body. The water tank main body may be configured without the lateral guide rail portion 1d.

In the description of the fifth embodiment, the case where the water tank main body 61 does not have the lateral guide rail portion is described as an example.

However, in the fifth embodiment, the lateral rail portion 1d may be formed at the same height as at least one of the front rail portions 61d and 61e as in the first embodiment.

Alternatively, a lateral guide rail portion having the same configuration as the front guide rail portions 61d and 61e may be formed on the water groove side surface 1b in the X direction.

In the above description of the embodiments and the modifications, the case where the rail portions constituting the water tank side locking portion for locking the first placement member to the water tank portion or the rail portions constituting the auxiliary water tank side locking portion for locking the second placement member to the auxiliary water tank portion are continuously extended has been described as an example. However, the water tank side engaging portion and the auxiliary water tank side engaging portion may be formed discontinuously as long as they do not interfere with the placement or sliding movement of the first placement member and the second placement member, respectively.

The structure of the fixing portion for fixing the partition member and the fixing member on the auxiliary water tank side is not limited to the structure of the above-described embodiment, and the fixing portion and the fixing member may be fixed (including a detachably fixing manner) by engagement, fitting, or the like. For example, the fixing member may be engaged with the fixing member by forming the fixing member in a convex shape and forming the fixing member in a concave shape.

In the above description of the embodiment and the modifications, the case where the partition member is fixed to the fixing member of the auxiliary water tank has been described as an example, but the fixing position of the partition member is not limited to the side surface of the auxiliary water tank, and may be fixed to the water tank side.

The preferred embodiments and modifications of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and modifications. Additions, omissions, substitutions, and other changes in the structure can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The invention is to be defined not by the preceding description but only by the scope of the appended claims.
