[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sink having a sink portion on a counter top.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Since the faucet is usually provided behind the sink part on the upper surface of the sink, the depth of the sink part is reduced by that amount compared to the depth of the sink. Furthermore, when it is desired to utilize the space on both sides of the faucet in the countertop, as shown in FIG. 1, garbage storage portions 2, detergent storage pockets 3 and the like are provided on both sides of the faucet 1. However, when the garbage storage part 2, the detergent storage pocket 3, etc. are provided on both sides of the faucet 1, the depth of the sink part 4 becomes narrower due to the depth.
[0003]
For this reason, in a sink having a structure like the conventional example, even if a large pan or a large amount of tableware is washed in the sink, the large pan cannot be placed in the sink due to the narrow depth of the sink. Workability was poor due to poor or poor fit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(First embodiment)
FIG. 2 is a partially broken perspective view showing the sink 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention in a used state. A counter top 13 is provided on the upper surface of the cabinet 12, and a stainless sink 14 is provided in the counter top 13. The sink part 14 has a structure as shown in FIGS. The rear part rear wall surface of the sink part 14 is formed in a wave surface shape, and the projecting part 15 bulges smoothly from both sides toward the front across the central part. Therefore, the hollow 16 in the middle of the two overhangs 15 and the rear corners 17 on both sides of the overhang 15 are recessed backward. A hole 19 for attaching a faucet 18 such as a hot and cold water mixing faucet is opened on the upper surface of one overhanging portion 15, and the faucet 18 is attached when the sink 11 is installed. Moreover, the hole 20 is opened also on the upper surface of the other overhang | projection part 15, and various utilities, such as the water purifier 21, can be attached as needed, and when not using it, it can block with rubber packing etc.
[0012]
In the sink 11, two overhanging portions 15 are provided on the back wall surface of the rear portion of the sink portion 14, and the faucet 18 and the like are provided on the upper surface of the overhanging portion 15. A stopper 18 or the like can be provided, and usability is improved. Moreover, since the hollow part 16 is formed between the overhang | projection part 15 and the overhang | projection part 15, the depth of the sink part 14 center can be enlarged, without enlarging the depth of the sink 11, and a big pot and a lot of tableware can also be used. It can be stored in the sink part 14, and it becomes easy to care for cooking utensils and to wash dishes.
[0013]
The drain port 22 of the sink part 14 is provided on the bottom surface of the sink part 14 at one rear corner 17. Therefore, when placing tableware, cooking utensils, etc. in the central part of the sink part 14 which is the widest and most frequently used in the sink part 14, the drain port 22 does not get in the way. That is, when the drain port 22 is provided in the central part of the sink part 14, tableware and cooking utensils get on the drain port 22 and become unstable at the level difference of the drain port 22, or the drain port 22 is blocked by the cooking utensil. However, such a disadvantage can be avoided by providing the drain outlet 22 in the rear corner 17.
[0014]
A water gradient is applied to the bottom surface of the sink portion 14 so that the bottom surface gradually decreases in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. That is, in a region other than the rear corner 17 and the recess 16 on the side far from the drain port 22, the drain port 22 is centered on the bottom surface of the sink portion 14 so as to collect water toward the drain port 22. It is inclined in a gentle funnel shape so that the water in the sink portion 14 is smoothly collected at the drain port 22 and drained from the drain port 22. Further, in the rear corner portion 17 on the side far from the drain port 22, as shown in a cross section in FIG. 5, the bottom surface has a steep slope, and is directed toward the center of the sink portion 14 as indicated by an arrow in FIG. The water is forcibly drained and further drained from there toward the drain port 22. Similarly, as shown by an arrow in FIG. 4, the recess portion 16 has a steep slope at the bottom so that water flows toward the center of the sink portion 14. The reason why the bottom surface is sharply inclined at the rear corner 17 and the recess 16 on the side far from the drain port 22 is to prevent the drainage from being deteriorated by the overhanging portion 15. .
[0015]
The structure of the drain cap 23 for covering the drain port 22 is shown in FIGS. The drain cap 23 is formed by embedding a stainless steel metal plate 25 on the upper surface of a plastic cap main body 24. The cap main body is provided with a relatively small drain opening 26. 25 is provided in a region excluding the opening 26 for drainage. By embedding a metal plate 25 made of the same material as that of the sink portion 14 in the surface of the drain cap 23, the appearance of the drain cap 23 is made the same as that of the sink portion 14 and the design is improved. Moreover, by embedding a metal plate, the strength of the drain cap 23 is increased and dirt is easily removed.
[0016]
A basket-like garbage storage portion 27 as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B and FIGS. 8A and 8B is attached to one rear corner 17 of the sink portion 14. In the garbage storage unit 27, a large number of holes 28 for allowing sewage to escape are opened in the bottom surface, and a mounting hole 30 is provided in the flange 29. On the other hand, on the upper surface of the outer periphery of the water tank portion of the sink part 14, a stepped portion 31 is provided. The protrusions 32 are provided in the stepped portion 31 at the left and right rear corners. Therefore, the flange 29 of the garbage storage unit 27 is formed as a paragraph of the sink part 14 and overlapped with the part 31, and the protrusion 32 of the sink part 14 is fitted into the mounting hole 30 provided in the flange 29 of the garbage storage unit 27. The garbage storage portion 27 is attached to the rear corner portion 17 of the sink portion 14 in a triangular corner shape. In order to facilitate cleaning, the garbage storage unit 27 is sized or deep enough to reach the bottom, and the bottom corners are smooth and have a relatively small curvature so that dirt can be easily removed. R 33 is given.
[0017]
Further, a detergent storage pocket 34 for placing the detergent 35 and the like upright is attached to the other rear corner 17 of the sink part 14. As the detergent storage pocket 34, the same thing as the garbage storage part 27 may be used (refer FIG. 12). Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, a detergent storage pocket 34 mainly composed of a wire may be used so that it is hooked on the protrusion 32 of the sink portion 14 and suspended from the rear corner 17.
[0018]
Thus, since the garbage storage part 27 and the detergent storage pocket 34 are arrange | positioned in the rear side corner part 17 in the sink part 14, the extension part 15 should just have a dimension only to attach the faucet 18 etc., The projecting dimension of the overhanging portion 15 can be reduced, and the inside of the sink portion 14 can be widened accordingly.
[0019]
Furthermore, the sink portion 14 has a symmetrical shape, and the garbage storage portion 27 and the detergent storage pocket 34 have similar outlines. When the garbage storage part 27 and the detergent storage pocket 34 are attached to the rear corner 17 of the sink part 14, the overhanging part 15 and the depression part from the front edge of the garbage storage part 27 and the detergent storage pocket 34 in a plan view. A smooth curve curved in a mountainous manner over 16 is obtained. Therefore, in the rear part in the sink part 14, it is smoothly formed from the garbage storage part 27 and the detergent storage pocket 34 to the recess part 16 between the overhanging parts 15, and the sink part 14 is deep in the recess part 16. In addition, the use area of the sink part 14 is widened in the central part to improve usability.
[0020]
The garbage storage portion 27 and the detergent storage pocket 34 may be attached to either the left or right rear corner 17, but as shown in FIG. 9, if the garbage storage portion 27 is provided on the side where the drainage port 22 is provided. The sewage that has fallen from the garbage storage unit 27 can be immediately drained to the drain port 22, which is excellent in terms of hygiene.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 10, the garbage storage unit 27 supports a bottom plate 38 having a perforated plate shape with a lower flange 37 of the storage unit main body 36 opened on the lower surface, and the bottom plate 38 extends from the storage unit main body 36. If it is made possible to remove, the bottom surface in the garbage storage part 27 can be easily cleaned. In addition, the bottom plate 38 is provided as a large number of small perforated plates for the garbage storage unit 27, and the bottom plate 38 is a combination of a relatively large small number of perforated plates or wires for the detergent storage pocket 34. It is also possible to provide it. In this way, it is possible to share the same storage unit main body 36 and provide the garbage storage unit 27 and the storage pocket 34, respectively.
[0022]
11A and 11B are diagrams showing the front and back surfaces of the cutting board 39. FIG. The cutting board 39 has a shape that covers an area (excluding the rear corner 17) smaller than the left half (or right half) of the sink portion 14, and has a substantially trapezoidal shape that is symmetrical on the front and back sides. A rib-shaped anti-slip 40 is provided at a part of the edge of the cutting board 39 in order to prevent the cutting board 39 from falling off when the cutting board 39 is gripped and attached to the sink portion 14. On the other hand, a section 31 is provided on the outer periphery of the water tank portion of the sink section 14, and the thickness of the cutting board 39 is equal to the depth (step) of the section 31. Accordingly, the cutting board 39 can be placed on the left side or the right side of the sink part 14 by setting the outer peripheral part as a paragraph of the sink part 14 and fitting into the part 31, and is placed on the sink part 14. The surface of the cutting board 39 is substantially flush with the countertop 13.
[0023]
Further, in order to prevent the cutting board 39 from falling off, a projecting portion 41 protrudes upward from the central portion of the section 31 of the sink portion 14, and a cutting board placed on the section 31 as the paragraph is provided. The edge of 39 is stopped against the end of the protruding portion 41, thereby preventing the cutting board 39 from moving on the section 31 and falling off from the section 31. The end of the protruding portion 41 is curved in accordance with the edge of the cutting board 39.
[0024]
On the rear corner 17 side of the sink part 14, the edge of the cutting board 39 overlaps with the front edge of the garbage storage part 27 as shown in FIGS. 12 and 9, but the upper front end 42 of the garbage storage part 27. Is cut diagonally, the cutting board 39 does not get on the garbage storage part 27, and there is a gap between the cutting board 39 and the garbage storage part 27. Thus, since the cutting board 39 overlaps the edge of the garbage storage part 27, as shown in FIG. 12, the cooking waste 43 etc. on the cutting board 39 is brought near to the garbage storage part 27 side, and it smoothly moves from the cutting board 39. It can be dropped into the garbage storage unit 27. At this time, there is no risk that cooking waste will spill into the sink part 14 from the gap between the cutting board 39 and the garbage storage part 27 and stain the sink part 14. Moreover, since the upper front end 42 of the garbage storage portion 27 is cut obliquely, even if the cutting board 39 is placed on the sink portion 14, the garbage storage portion 27 is lifted upward while being inclined. The garbage storage unit 27 can be removed from the sink unit 14. Further, according to the reverse procedure, the garbage storage portion 27 can be attached while the cutting board 39 is placed on the sink portion 14.
[0025]
Further, as shown in FIG. 11 (c), the cutting board 39 is thick at the four corners (the hatched area in FIG. 13), and in the other areas as shown in FIG. 11 (d). The thickness is thick. Accordingly, the water accumulated on the cutting board 39 flows in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 13 and is smoothly discharged without collecting water on the cutting board 39.
[0026]
Further, a notch 44 is appropriately provided at a portion of the edge of the cutting board 39 that overlaps the paragraph 31 as a paragraph. Therefore, the water on the cutting board 39 discharged to the edge of the sink portion 14 due to the inclination of the surface of the cutting board 39 is discharged into the sink portion 14 through the notch portion 44.
[0027]
The garbage storage unit 27 cannot be attached or detached while the cutting board 39 is placed on the sink part 14. However, the cutting board 39 is placed on the garbage storage unit 27 by the flange 29 of the garbage storage unit 27. It may be possible to support the edges of the. In this case, it is necessary to prevent the support of the cutting board 39 from becoming unstable due to a step between the section 31 and the flange 29 of the garbage storage section 27 as a paragraph of the sink section 14. For this purpose, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, a recess 45 into which the flange 29 of the garbage storage unit 27 fits is provided as a paragraph in the portion 31, and the paragraph 31 supporting the cutting board 39 (recess 45) and the flange 29 of the garbage storage unit 27 may be flush with each other.
[0028]
15 (a) and 15 (b) are draining plates 46 viewed from the front side and the back side, and a frame portion 48 having a T-shaped cross section with a synthetic resin around a perforated stainless steel plate (lass plate) 47. Is integrally molded and has the same outer shape and dimensions as the cutting board 39. Therefore, the draining plate 46 can be placed on the sink portion 14 instead of the cutting board 39. Similarly to the cutting board 39, the draining plate 46 can be used on the right side or the left side of the sink portion 14 by turning it over.
[0029]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, the thickness of the frame portion 48 is the same as the depth of the portion 31 of the sink portion 14, so that the draining plate 46 is placed when the draining plate 46 is placed on the sink portion 14. Does not jump above the counter top 13. Further, since the perforated stainless steel plate 47 is held in the center of the frame portion 48 and the draining plate 46 has a symmetrical structure on the front and back, the perforated plate 47 can be used regardless of whether the draining plate 46 is used on the front or back. The height does not change, and there is no sense of incongruity even if the draining plate 46 is used on either the left or right side of the sink portion 14.
[0030]
As shown in FIG. 17, a cutting board 49 can be placed on the draining plate 46 as needed. The cutting board 49 has a size that fits into the inner periphery of the frame portion 48 of the draining plate 46 and has a thickness equal to the depth of the recess of the frame portion 48 on the draining plate 47. When superposed on the draining plate 46 placed above, the surface of the cutting board 49 is flush with the frame 48 and the counter top 13. Further, since the cutting board 49 has a substantially pentagonal shape that is symmetrical to the left and right, it can be used either front or back.
[0031]
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 18 is a plan view showing the structure of the sink portion 51 used in the sink according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the sink portion 51, drainage ports 22 are provided in the rear corners 17 on both the left and right sides, and the drainage ports 22 are located almost directly below the garbage storage portion 27 and the detergent storage pocket 34. On the lower surface of the sink portion 51, as shown in FIG. 19, drain traps 52 and 53 corresponding to the drain ports 22 are provided, and both drain traps 52 and 53 are connected by a connecting pipe 54. The drainage flowing into the drainage trap 52 from the drainage port 22 is sent to the other drainage trap 53 through the connecting pipe 54, and the drainage of both drainage ports 22 is drained from one place. Of course, the bottom surface of the sink portion 14 is inclined (water gradient) toward the left and right drain outlets 22 in the left and right regions, respectively.
[0032]
By providing the drain ports 22 at the rear corners 17 on both sides in this way, the size of each drain port 22 can be reduced, so that the central portion in the sink portion 14 can be used more widely. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 20, since the drain traps 52 and 53 are small on the lower surface of the sink portion 14 (the two-dot chain line is a drain trap when there is one drain port 22), the protrusion in the cabinet 12 is also small. Thus, the internal space of the cabinet 12 can be widened, and the storage property is improved.
[0033]
If the drainage ports 22 are provided on the left and right sides, the drainage port 22 is always located below the garbage storage unit 27 regardless of which of the left and right rear corners 17 the garbage storage unit 27 is attached to. The sewage dripping from the storage part 27 does not flow to the central part of the sink part 14, so that it becomes sanitary. Further, by providing the drain ports 22 on both the left and right sides, the water sweeping in the sink part 14 is also improved.
