Description

  The present invention relates to a kitchen sink incorporated in a kitchen cabinet such as a system kitchen.

  Conventionally, in a kitchen, a sink is integrally incorporated in a kitchen cabinet, and cooking of cooking ingredients and washing of dishes are performed in the sink (for example, Patent Document 1). At the drain of the sink, there is a net that catches uneaten food that has adhered to the tableware, vegetable scraps of cooking ingredients (hereinafter referred to as vegetable scraps), and a lid that also serves as such. Apart from this, the sink is often provided with a so-called triangular corner, which is a garbage basket for storing large vegetable scraps during cooking.

JP-A-5-329027

  As described above, by installing a garbage basket in the sink, large vegetable wastes can be discarded in the garbage basket, and small vegetable wastes can be supplemented with a net or lid at the drainage outlet. Can be increased. However, in the sink, it is difficult to place tableware or the like in the area where the drain outlet is arranged. Therefore, when a garbage basket is placed, the usable area on the bottom surface of the sink is further narrowed (use efficiency of the bottom surface is reduced). To do). In addition, if a garbage basket is provided, water droplets from waste litter etc. will drop on the bottom of the sink, and it will be easy to cause slimming on the bottom of the sink below the garbage basket. It was.

  In view of such problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a kitchen sink capable of obtaining high cleanliness and cleanability without reducing the utilization efficiency of the bottom surface of the sink.

In order to solve the above problems, a typical configuration of a kitchen sink according to the present invention is arranged along an inclined surface that slopes downward toward the near side in the depth direction, and along a side edge of the inclined surface. A drain opening, a guide groove extending along the side edge from the front edge of the inclined surface and inclined downward to the drain opening, and a drain opening lid attached above the garbage tray attached to the drain opening. The drain lid is attached along the bottom of the sink and is triangular, one side of the triangle is along the bottom of the sink and is recessed from one side along the bottom of the sink toward the diagonal of the triangle A draining hole is formed in the vicinity of the diagonal .

  According to the said structure, the water which flows through the inclined surface which is a bottom face of a sink flows into the lower side of a lid | cover through a guide groove. For this reason, the garbage put on the lid is not washed away by cooking water or water for washing dishes. Accordingly, the lid of the drain outlet can be used as a waste basket for the drain outlet (hereinafter referred to as a garbage basket). Since it is not necessary to separately provide a garbage basket on the bottom surface of the sink, a wider area on the bottom surface of the sink can be used. The lid of the drain port that functions as a garbage basket is disposed above the drain port. Accordingly, water dripped from vegetable scraps or the like falls from the drain hole to the drain outlet, so that water drops on the bottom surface of the sink do not occur, and high cleanliness and cleanability can be obtained on the bottom surface of the sink.

  Here, in the conventional kitchen sink, the bottom surface is generally inclined toward the drain port, and the sink bottom surface has a mortar-shaped inclination centering on the drain port. When cooking ingredients or washing dishes in the sink, leftovers attached to the dishes, vegetable wastes (hereinafter referred to as vegetable wastes) of the ingredients during cooking, etc. are generated. At this time, in the conventional sink, the vegetable waste, etc. on the drain outlet side from the water discharge position from the faucet flows to the drain outlet due to the water flow at the time of washing, but the vegetable waste on the opposite side of the drain outlet from the water discharge position Etc. stays there. For this reason, the user has to collect the waste vegetable waste and the like by hand and flow them to the drainage port, which causes a problem that troublesome work occurs. Further, if vegetable waste or the like tends to stay, dirt easily adheres, so that it takes time for cleaning, and the cleaning property is lowered.

  On the other hand, in the present invention, the bottom surface of the sink has a substantially flat slope toward the guide groove along the front edge instead of the drain port. Note that “substantially flat” is ideally flat, but strictly includes a case where it has a slight mortar-like or drum-like curve (without stopping) for reasons of molding. This means that irregularities such as are not formed intentionally. In the following description, “substantially flat” is simply expressed as “flat”.

  As described above, since the inclined surface is flat, the water discharge position from the faucet is positioned upstream of the bottom surface inclination than the region on the near side of the sink where vegetable waste or the like is generated. Therefore, vegetable scraps and the like are caused to flow toward the guide groove by the water flow that flows on the inclined surface that is the bottom surface of the sink. Further, since the bottom surface has a flat inclination, the water flow flows over a wider area than in the case of a mortar-like inclination.

  And the vegetable waste etc. which reached the induction | guidance | derivation groove | channel flow toward a drain outlet by the water which flowed in this induction | guidance | derivation groove | channel. Therefore, for example, vegetable waste and the like are naturally washed away by the water flow for washing the dishes, and cleaning of the vegetable waste and the like is finished when the dishes are washed. For this reason, it is not necessary for the user to perform a conventional operation of collecting vegetable scraps, so that troublesome labor can be saved and high comfort can be obtained. Further, by preventing the accumulation of vegetable waste and the like, dirt is prevented from adhering to the bottom surface of the sink, and a clean state is always maintained. For this reason, the sink can be easily cleaned, and high cleanability can be obtained.

  The swell is further provided with a bulging part for raising a faucet protruding from the back side of the sink to the near side, and the bulging part is disposed on the cooking space side adjacent to the sink, and the drain outlet is swelled. It is good to arrange on the near side of the protruding part. By providing the bulging portion as in this configuration, the sink has a shape in which a part on the back side is notched. Thereby, the space inside a sink can be expanded and workability | operativity can be improved. In addition, since the drain outlet is disposed on the front side of the bulging portion, the length of the guide groove in the depth direction of the sink is shortened, so that the inclination of the guide groove can be relaxed and the depth can be reduced. As a result, the sink can be easily molded and the cleaning property can be improved.

  Furthermore, since the bulging part is arranged on the cooking space side, the faucet attached to the bulging part is also arranged on the cooking space side. Thereby, it becomes easy to use a faucet at the time of work in a cooking space, and it can aim at improvement of work efficiency. Moreover, since the bulging part is arrange | positioned at the cooking space side, the drain outlet arrange | positioned at the near side of this bulging part will also be arrange | positioned at the cooking space side. As a result, it becomes easy to throw away the waste vegetables and the like produced during the work in the cooking space into the lid of the drain outlet that functions as a waste basket, so that the work efficiency can be further increased.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the sink for kitchens which can acquire high cleanliness and cleanliness without reducing the utilization efficiency of a sink bottom face can be provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sink 100 according to the present embodiment includes an inclined surface 110, a drainage port 120, and a guide groove 130. The inclined surface 110 is the bottom surface of the sink 100, and a wall surface 140 is erected from the peripheral edge. Further, in the present embodiment, the bulging portion 150 in which a mounting hole 152 for raising a water faucet (not shown) is arranged on the upper surface in the left corner on the back side of the sink 100 is the back surface of the sink 100. It protrudes from the wall surface 140 to the near side. Thereby, since the inside of the sink 100 becomes a shape in which a part on the back side is notched, the space inside the sink can be expanded, and workability can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the drain port 120 is disposed along the side edge 112b of the inclined surface 110 on the front side of the bulging portion 150 in the corner on the back side of the sink 100. As in the present embodiment, by arranging the drain port 120 at the corner of the sink 100 on the near side of the bulging portion 150, the dead space can be reduced as compared with the case where the drain port is disposed in another area. Therefore, the bottom surface (inclined surface 110) of the sink 100 can be used more efficiently.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the guide groove 130 extends from the front edge of the inclined surface 110 (hereinafter referred to as the front edge 112 a) along the side edge 112 b and continues to the drain port 120. For convenience of explanation, in this embodiment, the guide groove extending along the front edge 112a of the inclined surface 110 with the left corner on the front side of the sink 100 as a boundary, that is, the guide groove extending in the longitudinal direction of the sink 100 is referred to as the long side guide groove 130a. The guide groove extending along the side edge 112b of the inclined surface 110, that is, extending in the short direction of the sink 100 is referred to as a short side guide groove 130b. Further, when referring to both the long side guide groove 130a and the short side guide groove 130b, they are referred to as the guide groove 130.

  2 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 (a) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2 (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. (C) is CC sectional drawing of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2A, the inclined surface 110 is inclined downward toward the near side in the depth direction. Thereby, the water from the faucet flows in the direction of the arrow D1, that is, toward the front side of the sink 100.

  As shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C, the long-side guide groove 130 a and the short-side guide groove 130 b that are the guide grooves 130 are grooves recessed below the inclined surface 110, and are formed in the drain port 120. It is inclined downward as it goes. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2B, the longitudinal guide groove 130a is inclined downward toward the side where the drainage port 120 is provided in the left-right direction (left side in the present embodiment). Yes. As shown in FIG. 2C, the short side guide groove 130b is inclined downward toward the side where the drainage port 120 is provided in the depth direction, that is, toward the back side.

  As described above, in the sink 100 of the present embodiment, the inclined surface 110 serving as the bottom surface thereof is provided on the front side of the inclined surface 110 instead of the conventional mortar-shaped inclination toward the drain port 120. The inclination is flat toward the guiding groove 130 (strictly speaking, the longitudinal guiding groove 130a). And since the attachment hole 152 to which a faucet is attached is provided in the back | inner side of the sink 100, in the inclined surface 110, the water discharge position from a faucet is upstream from the area | region of the near side where vegetable waste etc. generate | occur | produce. Will be located on the side. Thereby, the vegetable scraps (hereinafter referred to as vegetable scraps 102) schematically shown in FIG. 1 are directed toward the longitudinal guide groove 130a by the water flow flowing in the direction D1 from the back side (upstream side) of the inclined surface 110. Washed away.

  And since the long side induction groove 130a inclines below as it goes to the drain port 120, the vegetable waste 102 which flowed into the long side induction groove 130a flows into the long side induction groove 130a with it. 1 flows in the direction of the arrow D2 shown in FIG. 1, that is, toward the short-side guide groove 130b continuous with the drain port 120. At this time, the vegetable waste 102 that has flowed into the short-side guide groove 130b also flows in the direction of arrow D3 due to the water that has flowed into the short-side guide groove 130b because the short-side guide groove 130b is inclined downward toward the drain port 120. The water flowing to the drain port 120 and flowing through the short side guide groove 130b is guided to the drain port 120.

  According to the above configuration, when the water that flows when washing tableware or the like flows through the inclined surface 110, the vegetable scraps 102 in the region on the front side of the inclined surface 110 naturally flow toward the guide groove 130, and the drainage. Guided to mouth 120. Therefore, the removal of the vegetable scraps 102 is completed when the cleaning operation of tableware or the like is completed. This eliminates the need for the user to scrape the vegetable scraps 102 as in the past, and makes it possible to obtain high comfort.

  Further, the vegetable waste 102 naturally moves to the drain port 120 by the water flow during the cleaning operation, so that the vegetable waste is prevented from staying on the bottom surface (inclined surface 110) of the sink 100. In particular, since the inclined surface 110 is inclined flatly, a water flow flows in a wider area than in the case of a conventional mortar-like inclination, and the staying of the vegetable scraps 102 is further suppressed. As a result, it is possible to suitably prevent dirt from adhering to the bottom surface of the sink 100 due to the staying of the vegetable scraps 102, and a clean state can always be maintained. Therefore, the user can easily clean the sink 100 and can obtain a high cleaning property.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the drain port 120 is arrange | positioned in the near side of the bulging part 150 as mentioned above. Thereby, since the length of the short side guide groove 130b in the depth direction of the sink 100 can be shortened, the inclination of the guide groove 130 becomes loose and the depth becomes shallow. Therefore, the sink 100 can be easily formed and the cleaning property can be improved.
