Water splashing on the surface can cause problems such as wood being splattered around the cabinet, water droplets falling on the floor, and water splashing onto clothes.

Furthermore, when washing the inner surfaces of sinks and bowls, conventionally the washing was carried out by pouring water over them using a container or the like.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to wash dishes and face while running water.
To provide a cabinet with an aquarium that can prevent water from splashing even when washing hair, hands, etc., and allows the inner surface of the aquarium to be easily washed.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a cabinet equipped with a water tank 1 such as a sink or wash basin on the top surface, in which a water tank 1 is installed from above along substantially the entire circumference of the inner surface of the water tank l. Water curtain generating means 11 (21, 3
1).

[Function] A water film, that is, a water curtain, is formed from above along almost the entire circumference of the inner surface of the aquarium l, and the water that has rebounded from the bottom surface 2 etc. is combed with the flow of the water curtain. The inner surface can be easily cleaned with the automatic curtain.

Here, if the automatic curtain is set to occur in conjunction with the operation of the water faucet installed in the aquarium l, then
In addition to constantly preventing water from splashing during use, the inner surface is also constantly cleaned, eliminating the need for special operations.

The water curtain generation means may be pipes 11, 21 installed around the entire upper part of the aquarium 1 and provided with a large number of small holes 12.22 and slits 13.23 for generating water flow directed toward the inner surface, or the inner surface. - A plurality of spreaders 31 installed in the E section to generate a substantially fan-shaped water film directed downward may be used, and the desired water curtain can be generated satisfactorily.

There are also circular pipes 11 and square pipes 21 as autocurtain generating pipes, and these can be installed or used in Ichisaka cabinets with aquariums, for example, aquarium 1
If a flange 25 is provided on the outer periphery of the upper surface of the rectangular pipe 21 installed on the inner circumferential surface 4 of the tank, and the flange 25 is placed on the surface 5 of the water tank, the appearance can be improved.

[Example] Examples will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

In Figure 1, which shows a schematic vertical side view, l stands for sink, and this sink l is installed on the top of the sink, which is the bottom of the cabinet with a water tank, and the sink is installed in a hot water supply room installed in an office building. It is installed in homes, kitchens, etc.

The sink 1 has a drain port 3 in the center of the bottom surface 2, an upper surface 5 continuous from an inner circumferential surface 4 having a predetermined depth, and a water tap (not shown) above the sink incorporating the sink 1. The sink 1 is equipped with water curtain generating means for forming a water film from above around the entire circumference of the sink 1.

In the first embodiment, the water curtain generating means is a frame-shaped circular pipe 11 corresponding to the upper inner shape of the inner peripheral surface 4 of the sink, and a joint 16 is provided on one side of the pipe 11.
A water supply pipe 17 is connected via the water supply pipe 17. A frame-shaped circular pipe 11 is installed and fixed on the upper part of the sink inner circumferential surface 4 by any means as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, a large number of small holes 12 for spouting water toward the inner circumferential surface 4 of the sink are bored diagonally outward at equal intervals.

Here, water may be supplied to the pipe 11 in conjunction with the operation of the water tap, or by operating a switch provided at a suitable location on the sink.

When washing dishes or cleaning the sink, pipe 1
Water is supplied to the small holes 12--, and water is jetted out all at once from each of the small holes 12--. As shown by the arrows, the water ejected from each small hole 12 hits the upper part of the sink inner circumferential surface 4 and becomes a water film that spreads downward while flowing downward, and the adjacent water films wrap around each other and flow, forming a water curtain. It flows into the drain port 3 from the sink bottom 2.

In this way, a water curtain is formed from above around the entire inner surface of the sink 1, so that the dirty water from washing that has bounced off the bottom surface 2, etc. is swept away by the water curtain, preventing water from splashing outward from the sink 1. It can be prevented. The inside surface of the sink can also be cleaned using the water curtain.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 5, the pipe 11 has a sink inner peripheral surface 4.
It is also possible to form elongated slits 13 that eject water toward the outside obliquely, uniformly or intermittently, and generate a water curtain by the water film ejected from the slits 13.

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment, in which a frame-shaped rectangular pipe 21 corresponding to the upper shape of the sink inner circumferential surface 4 is used, the outer circumferential side of this rectangular vibrator 21 is fixed at position a on the sink upper surface 5, and the vibrator is A large number of small holes 22, . This also causes a water curtain similar to that described above.

Further, in FIG. 7 showing the third embodiment, a rectangular vibrator 21 is made to face inside the sink inner circumferential surface 4, and a flange 25 is integrally formed on the outer periphery of the upper surface of this vibrator 21.
5 is placed on the top surface 5 of the sink. The lower surface of the pipe 21 is provided with a large number of small holes 22 .

This also generates a water curtain, and since the sink 1 and the water curtain generating means are integrated, the design is good.

Next, a fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 8 will be described.

That is, the sink inner peripheral surface 4 serves as a water curtain generating means.
A plurality of spreaders 31... are installed at approximately equal intervals,
Each of the spreaders 31... generates a substantially fan-shaped water film downward.

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, this spreader 31 has a circular shape in front and has a slit 33 that widens vertically downward from the water passage 32, and has a mounting hole 6 on the upper part of the sink inner circumferential surface 4.
Insert the threaded part 34 of the spreader 31 from inside, apply the gaskets 35 and 35 on both sides, and tighten the nut 3 to the threaded part 34.
6 is screwed on. Threaded portion 34 of this spreader 31
A water supply pipe 37 is connected to the water supply pipe 37.

Then, when water is supplied to each spreader 31 at the same time, the water jetted out from each slit 33 as shown by the arrow flows downward on the sink inner peripheral surface 4 in a substantially fan shape, and this substantially fan-shaped water flow film The water curtains form adjacent water curtains that overlap each other and flow into the drain port 3 from the sink bottom surface 2.

Such a spreader type water curtain generating means may be employed.

Incidentally, although a sink has been described in the embodiment as a cabinet with a water tank, it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to a vanity table or a hand-washing table having a washing bowl. Furthermore, it is also possible to use an under-counter one-sided system in which the water tank of the present invention is provided under the counter.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, a water curtain can be generated from above along almost the entire circumference of the inner surface of the water tank of the cabinet, so that washing dishes, face washing, hair washing, hand washing, etc. can be done while running water. It is possible to prevent water droplets from falling on the floor surface and adhesion of water to clothes due to water splashing when washing, and it is also possible to easily clean the inner surface of the aquarium.

In addition, by generating a water curtain in conjunction with the operation of the water tap installed in the aquarium, it is possible to always prevent water from splashing when the aquarium is in use, and the inner surface can also be constantly cleaned. No operation required.
