Definitions
- One aspect of the invention relates to a sink with a tub.
- the tub has a bottom wall and side walls adjoining it.
- the tub has a receiving space delimited by the walls.
- the sink has an insert plate which is separate from the tub and which is inserted into the receiving space.
- Such sinks are known.
- US 2005/0067747 A1 discloses a sink which has a tub.
- An upwardly extending base is formed on the tub bottom and is formed in one piece with the tub bottom.
- a plate can be attached to this base.
- Such a configuration is disadvantageous in that the integrated base is always present and thus a fundamental configuration of the tub is complex in shape and is also designed to restrict the circumference of the receiving space.
- the plate that can be placed on the base is always only arranged at one level. It can only be put on or taken off by a user.
- a sink is known from DE 362 1151 A1.
- Different inserts which can be introduced into the receiving space, are provided separately from the tub.
- the inserts can be plates or other tub-like containers. These can be placed on the upper edge of the tub. This also severely limits the usability of a sink and the inserts have to be attached or removed by a user and can always only be positioned in an individual position.
- the object of the present invention is to create a sink with a tub and a separate insert plate, in which the height of the insert plate can be precisely changed.
- a sink with a tub.
- the tub has a bottom wall and side walls adjoining it.
- the tub also has a receiving space which is delimited by the bottom wall and the side walls.
- the recording room is open at the top.
- the sink has an insert unit separate from the tub, in particular an insert plate, in particular a contiguous and perforated insert plate. This can be used in the receiving space or used therein.
- the sink also has a lifting device with which the insert plate can be moved in the height direction of the sink relative to the tub. This is made possible by an objective lifting device for the sink.
- a sink is now provided, in which basically the possibility is created of arranging the insert unit at different height positions.
- a travel speed of the insert plate is preferably between 10-70 mm / sec., Particularly preferably between 30-50 mm / sec.
- the maximum possible travel of the insert plate is preferably between 100 and 300 mm, particularly preferably between 120 mm and 250 mm.
- the lifting device has a lifting unit with a lifting device that is variable in length in the height direction of the sink.
- This lifting device is a linear chain or a spindle drive.
- the push chain or the spindle drive each represent a unit in which even a heavy insert plate can be moved continuously and thus smoothly in the vertical direction up or down. Even if objects are placed on this insert plate, a push chain or a spindle drive can move such a weight in this height direction without any problems.
- a push chain or a spindle drive also represents a unit that is permanent in the ambient conditions of a sink is functional.
- a linear chain or a spindle drive is also a very space-saving concept for a lifting unit.
- the sink in particular, it is advantageous in order not to undesirably restrict the receiving space by such a lifting unit.
- This lifting device of the lifting unit thus represents a sub-component of the lifting unit.
- the lifting unit preferably has a housing which surrounds the lifting device and thus the push chain or the spindle drive on the circumferential side. This means that this lifting device is completely surrounded by the housing in the direction of rotation around a longitudinal axis of the lifting unit oriented in the vertical direction. This is a very advantageous embodiment, because on the one hand the lifting device is extensively protected from media in the tub of the sink. In addition, this housing also provides protection against contact for the lifting device. This also prevents a user from touching the lifting device directly.
- This housing of the lifting unit is preferably formed from several, in particular rigid, housing segments. These housing segments can be moved relative to one another in the height direction of the sink. This is a further, very advantageous embodiment, because the length of the housing of the lifting unit can also be changed in this height direction and can thus also follow the change in length of the lifting device. In any position of the lifting device in this height direction, complete protection is thus formed by the housing.
- it In order to produce a lifting unit that is as compact as possible, it preferably has at least 4, in particular at least 5, housing segments. For reasons of weight saving and in terms of an inexpensive design, it is advantageous if the housing segments are made of plastic.
- housing segments are in particular hollow cylinders.
- the housing segments form a telescopic housing of this lifting unit.
- the housing segments are each preferably provided with at least one circumferential recess or notch, each of which forms an anti-twist device.
- a sealing element which is designed as an O-ring, for example, is also preferably arranged between the individual housing segments.
- the spindle drive has at least two separate spindles that are coupled to one another.
- these spindles are guided into one another.
- the individual spindles can be made shorter. This also results in a higher flexural rigidity compared to very long spindles.
- a particularly precise height adjustment of the lifting unit is made possible by such a plurality of separate spindles, which are connected to one another and can be rotated relative to one another. This enables a very continuous and jolt-free height adjustment.
- the spindles represent thin rods. They therefore require minimal space in a horizontal plane. As a result, the receiving space of the tub is not undesirably restricted.
- the spindles In order to achieve a low overall height of the lifting unit, it has at least three spindles coupled to one another.
- the spindles In order to enable a light and inexpensive lifting unit, the spindles are preferably made of plastic.
- an upper spindle of this spindle drive is connected at an upper end to a separate cover of the lifting device.
- this cover is a cover plate and in particular represents a flat disk.
- the insert plate is arranged on the cover. It can be arranged directly from above on the cover.
- the insert plate can also be arranged indirectly on the cover. This means that a further component can be arranged between the cover and the insert plate.
- this can be a plate holder separate from the cover.
- This plate holder can be a flat disk and thus a flat cylinder.
- at least one carrier wing can be arranged on this plate holder. On this carrier wing the Insert plate be arranged directly.
- the in particular at least two carrier wings, which preferably each have a V-shape, can be arranged on the plate receptacle so as to be pivotable about horizontal axes.
- this upper spindle is connected to the cover by means of an endless rotating unit.
- the upper spindle is arranged so as to be endlessly rotatable relative to the cover about an axis of rotation oriented in the vertical direction.
- the cover can thus be arranged with the insert plate in a stable position. Nevertheless, the rotational movement of the spindle is not restricted and a high-precision height adjustment of the cover with the insert plate arranged on it is made possible.
- the endless rotating unit is, for example, a ball bearing.
- the lifting device has a motor for driving the lifting device.
- this motor is arranged in a receiving housing of the lifting device.
- this receiving housing is arranged completely below the bottom wall of the tub. As a result, the receiving space of the tub is not restricted by this receiving housing. On the other hand, this arrangement of the receiving housing also enables easy access to the receiving housing.
- the motor of the lifting device is thereby arranged completely outside the receiving space of the tub.
- This is advantageous in order to be able to avoid the effects of media in the receiving space on the motor as well as possible.
- undesired temperature influences in particular temperature fluctuations due to hot or cold media in the receiving space on the motor can thereby also be avoided.
- the receiving housing preferably has a height or an extension below the bottom wall in a direction pointing away from it of less than 150 mm, in particular of less than 100 mm. With such a flat design, there is still enough space left under the sink for waste bins or the like.
- the motor is connected to a lower spindle of the spindle drive.
- This lower spindle can be set in rotation about an axis of rotation oriented in the vertical direction by the motor.
- the bottom wall has an opening or a passage.
- this opening is formed centrally in the bottom wall.
- the lifting unit extends through this opening so that it is arranged on both sides of this opening.
- both the lifting device of the lifting unit and an advantageously present housing of the lifting unit extend through this opening and are arranged on both sides of this opening.
- the lifting device has only a single variable-length lifting unit. This enables a space-saving concept with fewer components.
- this single lifting unit which is variable in length is sufficient.
- This support wing can be in a horizontal plane Larger support structure can be created that securely receives the insert plate and protects it from undesired inclinations, even if only a single lifting unit is present.
- the lifting device has at least one separate damper unit.
- the lifting device is acoustically decoupled from the bottom wall by means of this damper unit. This is also a very advantageous implementation. This is because noises that arise when the lifting unit is raised or lowered, in particular motor noises and / or noises from the lifting device, cannot be transmitted to the tub or can only be transmitted to a significantly reduced extent.
- the damper unit is a rubber damper or an acoustic foam.
- these specific damper units can be easily installed in terms of assembly.
- they provide a high level of damping behavior.
- the damper unit rests directly on an underside or on an outside of the bottom wall of the tub.
- this damper unit is connected to a receiving housing of the lifting device, which is arranged under the bottom wall. A particularly efficient acoustic decoupling can thus take place.
- an upper side of the insert plate has an area which is at least 80 percent, in particular at least 90 percent, in particular at least 95 percent of the area of the receiving space in a horizontal plane.
- the area of the top of the insert plate is less than 99 percent of this area of the receiving space.
- this configuration enables a side edge of the insert plate to be touched directly and, if necessary, grazed along the inside of the side walls avoided. In this way, on the one hand, damage to the side walls is avoided and, on the other hand, damage to the insert plate and also to the lifting device is avoided. Last but not least, this configuration also advantageously achieves that through this gap between the edge of the insert plate and the inner sides of the side walls, liquid that is present on the upper side of the insert plate can easily drain into the receiving space.
- the tub preferably has a drain, in particular on the bottom wall. This allows medium that is arranged in the tub and collects there to run off via the drain without any problems.
- the tub is formed in one piece with the bottom wall and the side walls.
- the tub is made of metal.
- the bottom wall can be flat or slightly inclined or slightly curved. In particular, it is provided that that point on the bottom wall at which an outlet for a drain of the sink is formed is offset the furthest down with respect to the height.
- the top of the insert plate is completely flat. However, it can also have a slight curvature. It is also possible that the top of the insert plate is structured at least in some areas. This can create a certain roughness. An undesired slipping of objects placed thereon can be avoided in an improved manner. For example, this is advantageous if the insert plate changes its position and objects are still arranged on the upper side of the insert plate. It is also possible for the upper side to have specific positioning areas. These can be recesses. For example, such depressions can be made relatively small. This is advantageous in order, for example, to be able to position vessels such as a glass or the like more securely. This is particularly advantageous when a change in position is tilting and / or rotating.
- predetermined positioning areas of this type also ensure that, for example, when vessels are placed on the upper side of the insert plate and are to be filled via the faucet, in the event of a rotational movement, the Faucet, leaking water runs into the vessels and does not hit the insert plate past the vessels.
- the lifting device can have a lifting unit and a motor. With the motor, the lifting unit can be moved at least in the vertical direction.
- the push chain consists of specially shaped, high-precision mechanical chain links.
- the chain links interlock with one another in a form-fitting manner.
- the special thing about the linear chain, in contrast to a "normal” chain, is that it works in both directions. She can pull and "push”.
- the drive element usually an electric motor, transfers the thrust force to the chain links.
- the shoulders of the individual chain links then press against each other and form a rigid unit. And with it you can lift or push the load.
- top, bottom, front, bottom, horizontal, vertical, depth direction, “width direction”, “height direction” are the positions and positions given when the sink is used and arranged as intended Orientations indicated.

- the housing 40 has the housing segments 29, 41, 42, 43 and 44. These are sealed from one another by sealing rings 56, 57 and 58.
- the lifting device 11 has a receiving housing 59.
- This receiving housing 59 is separate from the housing 40.
- the receiving housing 59 is box-like.
- the housing 40 is formed by the housing segments 29 and 41 to 44 shown, which are each hollow cylinder.
- the housing 40 is designed as a telescopic housing.
- the receiving housing 59 has a base plate 60. As a result, the receiving housing 59 is closed from below.
- the bottom plate 60 is a separate plate. In the assembled state, the receiving housing 59 is arranged completely outside the receiving space 8. As can be seen in FIG.
- the receiving housing 59 extends from an underside of the bottom wall 3 in a direction pointing away from it by less than 150 mm, in particular less than 100 mm, downwards.
- the housing segment 44 which in the exemplary embodiment is preferably connected in one piece with the receiving housing 59, extends through the opening or passage 46.
- FIG. 6 a seal 61 and two plugs 62 and 63 are shown in FIG. 6.
- the upper spindle 55 is in particular in direct contact with this plug 63.
- a mechanical connection is thus formed with the plate 38, which represents a cover. It can be provided that this upper spindle 55 is non-rotatably connected to this plate 38. If the spindle drive 52 is moved in the direction of the longitudinal axis B, such a change in length in the direction of the longitudinal axis B can be brought about by a relative movement between the spindles 53 and 54.
- the spindles 54 and 55 are connected to one another in an endlessly rotatable manner. This means that when the spindles 53 and 54 move apart in the direction of the longitudinal axis B due to their threaded couplings, the upper spindle 55 is pushed upwards, but does not move apart with the spindle 54 in the vertical direction.
- the upper spindle 55 is also rotated about the longitudinal axis B when the length of the spindle drive 52 changes.
- this upper spindle 55 is connected to the plate 38 in an endlessly rotatable manner by an endless rotating unit. This means that when the upper spindle 55 is rotated, the plate 38 is not rotated along with it, but rather remains stationary in the direction about the longitudinal axis B.
- an endless rotating unit can be formed by a ball bearing.
- an endless rotating unit coupling in this regard can be formed, in particular a ball bearing can also be formed.
- a detector 64 is shown in FIG. 6.
- This detector 64 is in particular a sensor which detects liquid media in a volume space 65 (FIG. 5) between the sealing sleeve 47 and the lifting unit 28).
- a motor 66 of the lifting device 11 is shown in FIG. 6.
- This motor 66 is arranged in the receiving housing 59. It is intended to drive the lifting device 39 and thus the spindle drive 52 in the exemplary embodiment.
- a motor flange 67, a toothed disk 68 and a drive shaft 69 are shown in this context.
- the drive shaft 69 is coupled in particular to the spindle drive 52, in particular the lower spindle 53.
- a toothed belt 70 is also shown.
- a bearing flange 71 is also shown.
- Another bearing flange 72 is also shown.
- a further toothed pulley 73 and a ball bearing 74 which is in particular a deep groove ball bearing, are shown.
- a damper unit is preferably also formed by the unit 51, as shown in FIG. 5. With this the lifting device 11 is acoustically decoupled from the bottom wall 3.
- This damper unit can be a rubber damper or an acoustic foam.
- the damper unit is in particular arranged directly on the underside of the bottom wall 3 and thus in contact with the outside of the bottom wall 3. In particular, this damper unit is connected to the receiving housing 59 of the lifting device 11.
- a dismantling mode different from the normal mode of the lifting unit 28 can also be set.
- the lifting unit 28 becomes an even higher position in the vertical direction via the maximum raised position of the lifting unit 28 in the normal mode and thus also the corresponding position of the insert plate 10 Position adjusted.
- the maximally raised position in normal mode it is provided in particular that the upper side 10a of the insert plate 10 is flush with the upper side of the upper edge 2a of the tub 2 or a decorative frame or a mounting frame.
- the insert plate 10 is preferably positioned such that its underside 10b is arranged a vertical distance higher than this upper edge 2a. In particular, this vertical distance is at least 2 cm, in particular at least 3 cm.
- the insert plate 10 can be grasped by one hand at its edge 25 and held securely for removal from the lifting unit 28.
- the dismantling position is in particular a horizontal position of the insert plate 10.
- the underside 10b of the insert plate 10 is thus positioned completely above the upper edge 2a.
