DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kitchen sink, and more particularly to a kitchen sink having a sub-sink movably installed in a sink.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a conventional kitchen sink. As shown in FIG. 7, a conventional kitchen sink is
A cabinet unit 50 for storing various kitchen utensils,
The cabinet 50 has a counter portion 51 formed in a flat shape on the upper surface thereof for performing cooking and the like, and a sink portion 52 formed in a concave shape in the center of the counter portion 51 for performing washing and the like.

The counter 51 and the sink 52 are made of a material having excellent corrosion resistance, such as stainless steel. A faucet 53 and a faucet handle 54 are provided at a central portion on the back side of the counter section 51. Also, the counter unit 5
A back board 55 for preventing water splash is provided
Is provided. A discharge port 52a for discharging cooking debris, water, and the like is formed on the bottom surface of the sink portion 52.

In some cases, a sub-sink dedicated to washing may be formed by recessing a predetermined portion of the counter 51 separately from the sink 52.

[0005]

The conventional kitchen sink has the following problems.

(1) Since the sink portion 52 is merely formed in a large concave shape, it is not known how to use the sink portion 52 best, so that it is not used effectively. .

(2) Usually, a small container is put in the sink portion 52 and the container is washed with water or the like. Since the sink portion 52 itself functions as a funnel,
Space is wasted.

(3) Washing utensils such as detergent containers, sponges, scrubbers and the like are stored in a net basket or the like installed at a predetermined position. However, since they are stored in a bare state, they do not have a clean feeling.

(4) Normally, a waste container for storing leftovers, cooking waste, and the like is installed at a corner in the sink portion 52.
Since the space in the sink portion 52 becomes narrow, it is difficult to secure a large waste space.

(5) A pump applied to a conventional detergent container is configured to push up the detergent in the detergent container by compressed air generated by pressing from above, but in the case of a detergent having a high viscosity, It was difficult to leak and troubles such as clogging were easy to occur.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to effectively use a sink portion, effectively use a space, have a sense of cleanliness, and secure a large space for storing waste. Another object of the present invention is to provide a kitchen sink capable of reducing the occurrence of a failure in a detergent container.

The cover 7 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape as shown in FIGS.
An opening 7a for draining is formed. Washed dishes are placed on the cover 7 or a cutting board or the like is placed on the cover 7 for cooking.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing the internal structure of the detergent container 14. As shown in FIG.
Is a tank section 20 for storing detergent, and the tank section 20
A cylindrical discharge portion 21 for discharging the detergent inside the cylinder, and a cylinder 22 communicating the discharge portion 21 with the tank portion 20
Is installed in the cylinder 22 so as to be movable, and pumps up the detergent that has entered the cylinder 22 and discharges it.
And a pumping section 23 for discharging from the tip of the pump. The pumping unit 23 includes a rod 23a extending from the inside of the cylinder 22 to the outside of the tank unit 20, a piston 23b attached to a tip of the rod 23a, a handle 23c attached to a base end of the rod 23a, and a rod 23a. A contact portion 23d attached to the base end side to contact the upper surface of the detergent container 14 and regulate downward movement of the rod 23a.

Is communicated through.

A cap 2 is provided on the upper surface of the tank 20.
4 (see FIG. 2), the cap 24 is removed, and the detergent is put into the tank portion 20.

As shown in FIG. 5B, when the pumping section 23 is lifted up using the handle 23c, the communication port 22 is lifted.
The detergent that has entered the cylinder 22 from the tank section 20 through the line a is discharged from the distal end of the discharge section 21.

Next, an example of use of the kitchen sink according to the present invention will be described. First, the sub sync part 5 is located on the left side of the sink part 3,
And it is installed on the first sliding rail part 4. At this time, as shown in FIG.
Reference numeral 7 denotes a position directly above the discharge port 3a of the sink portion 3. Further, the cover unit 7 is installed at a position covering the sub-sync unit 5.

Next, the cover 7 is moved to the right in the horizontal direction to open the upper part of the sub-sync 5. Further, the cap 24 of the detergent container 14 is opened, and the detergent is put into the tank portion 20.

Next, water is poured into the tub 16 of the sub-sink 5 from the faucet 8.

Next, the pumping section 23 is lifted up using the handle 23c, and an appropriate amount of detergent is discharged from the tip of the discharge section 21 to the tub section 16. Then, the detergent and water in the tub 16 are mixed and the preparation is completed.

When washing dishes, first, leftovers and remaining food are thrown away into the waste bin 11 in the sub-sink portion 5, and then the dishes are washed in the tub portion 16.

Next, when all the dishes were washed, the drain plug 1
After removing 9 and draining the water and detergent in the tub 16,
Water is poured into the tub 16, and the dishes are washed with water. Alternatively, another washing tub is prepared in the sink part 3 and washed with water.

The washed dishes are stored in predetermined storage locations. When all the dishes are washed with water, the drain plug 19 is pulled out, the water in the tub 16 is discarded, and the operation is completed.

When the leftovers are removed from the bowl or the dish, the sub-sink unit 5 is moved horizontally so that the waste container 12 of the sub-sink unit 5 is located directly below the faucet 8, and is flushed with water. It is also possible to process leftovers and the like.

The sewage discharged from the washing tool storage section 13 and the detergent container storage section 15 enters the waste storage section 12 through the communication port 18, and together with the waste water in the waste storage section 12, the discharge port 17 and the sink section. 3 is discharged to the outside through the discharge port 3a.

When a dishwasher is installed in the counter section 2 on the right side of the sink section 3, the dishes are put into the dishwasher after temporary washing with a detergent. When a dishwasher is not installed, as shown in FIG. 6, a sub-sink 30 for exclusive use in washing with the same structure as the sub-sink 5 is attached to the counter 2 on the right side of the sink 3, and the washing is performed. After the dedicated sub-sink unit 30 is slid to the lower part of the faucet 8, it may be washed with water. In this case, if two cover parts 7 are arranged side by side, the cooking space becomes large and it becomes very convenient.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made within the technical scope described in the claims.

[0037]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, by moving the sub-sync portion in the horizontal direction, the sync portion can be used effectively and the space can be used effectively.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the upper portion of the sub-sink can be covered by the cover which can be moved in the horizontal direction, the washing utensils such as detergent containers, sponges and scrubbers stored in the sub-sink are exposed. A clean kitchen sink can be provided.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, even if a large space dust storage section is provided in the sub-sink portion, the sub-sink portion can be moved in the horizontal direction, so that a large waste space can be secured.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the detergent can be discharged to the outside simply by pulling the pumping part upward, so that the occurrence of troubles such as clogging is reduced, and the structure is simple. Also, the manufacturing cost is reduced.
