Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a washing tub and a washing tub set used for washing tableware, food storage, and washing rice.

[Prior art] Generally, when using a washing tub to wash dishes and vegetables or to sharpen rice, water of the desired amount is poured into the washing handle from the upper opening of the washing tub to wash the dishes, etc. inside. After washing the items, the washing tub is tilted and the water inside is drained out through the opening.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in order to completely drain the water in the washing handle, the washing tub must be tilted until it becomes almost vertical, and this draining operation is troublesome. In addition, there is a problem in that dishes, etc. inside the washing tub may flow out of the washing tub through the opening along with the drainage water.

Furthermore, the rice grains and other garbage that accumulates on the inside bottom of the washing handle are not obstructed by dishes, etc. inside the washing handle and are not discharged to the outside of the washing tub.
This is inconvenient because it remains trapped inside.

An object of the present invention is to provide a washing tub and a washing tub set that allow easy drainage work.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a washing tub and a washing tub set in which washed items do not flow out when draining water.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a washing tub and a washing tub set that can discharge dirt accumulated on the inner bottom surface to the outside together with drainage.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a washing tub that can completely prevent washing materials from flowing out.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a washing tub that can be used even in sinks with uneven surfaces.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the washing tub in the first invention includes a container having at least one drain hole at the bottom, and a drain hole provided all around the outer surface of the container. and a seal member that is removably in close contact with the sink surface to prevent water from flowing out from inside the container.

Further, in addition to the first invention, the washing tub of the second invention is provided with a stopper inside the container that has a hole smaller in size than the object to be washed and supports the object to be washed so that it cannot flow out of the container. There is.

Furthermore, the washing tub set 1- in the third invention includes an elastic mat, a container having at least one drainage hole at the bottom, and a container provided on the outer surface of the container over the entire circumference of the drainage hole, and a container that can be detached from the surface of the elastic mat. The washing tub includes a protrusion that is as close as possible to prevent water from flowing out from inside the container.

[Function] In the washing tub of the first aspect of the invention, when the sealing member is flushed and kept close to the surface when washing items to be washed, the water poured into the container reaches the sealing member through the drainage hole, and the sealing member The outflow to the outside of the container is blocked. the result,
Water is stored inside the container. Furthermore, when one side of the container is slightly lifted after cleaning the object, the sealing member separates from the sink surface and the water inside the container is discharged to the outside through the drain hole.

In addition, in the washing tub of the second aspect of the invention, when draining water from inside the container, the sink 1 to the collar support the washed items so that they cannot flow out to the outside of the container.

In the washing tub set of the third aspect of the invention, when the seal protrusion is brought into close contact with the surface of the elastic mat when washing items, water poured into the container reaches the seal protrusion through the drain hole, and the seal The protrusion blocks outflow to the outside of the container. As a result, water is stored inside the container. Furthermore, when one side of the container is slightly lifted after cleaning the object, the sealing protrusion separates from the surface of the elastic mat, and the water inside the container is discharged to the outside through the drain hole.

[Example] Hereinafter, a first example in which the present invention is embodied in a washing tub used for washing dishes and vegetables will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a container 2 made of synthetic resin is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape with a bottom and an opening 1 at the top. A large-diameter drainage hole 5 is provided in the center of the bottom 3 of the container 2. A sealing member 6 made of elastic synthetic resin, rubber, or the like and having a planar annular shape is attached to the outer surface of the bottom 3 of the container 2 so as to extend over the entire circumference of the drain hole 5.

The sealing member 6 includes an inner wall 7 having the same inner diameter as the drain hole 5, and an outer wall 9 disposed radially outward of the inner wall 7 with a slight gap 8, and extending slightly downward from the outer surface of the bottom 3 of the container 2. It stands out. The sealing member 6 supports the container 2 when placed on the sink S of the sink, and as described later, is removably adsorbed to the surface of the sink S and is in close contact to prevent water W from flowing out from inside the container 2. It is designed to prevent Note that as long as the inner wall 7 of the sealing member 6 is disposed radially outward of the water I hole 5, the dimensions of both 5 and 6 can be changed at any time.

A support protrusion 10 that protrudes inward over the entire circumference is integrally formed at a lower position on the inner surface of the side part 4 of the container 2. Net-like base 1 to collar 1 having holes 12 of dimensions
1 is placed there. The support protrusion 10 is inclined slightly downward toward the inside of the container 2, so that no water W remains on the support protrusion 10 when the water W inside the container 2 is discharged.

The process of washing tableware C using the washing tub configured as described above will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 3, first place the washing tub on the surface of the sink S of the sink and press it slightly against the sink S.

Then, the inner wall 7 of the sealing member 6 curves radially inward, and the outer wall 9 curves radially outward, causing both 7
, 9 decreases, a negative pressure is generated in the gap 8, and the sealing member 6 adsorbs and comes into close contact with the surface of the sink S. When water W is poured into the container 2 in this state, the water W reaches the space surrounded by the surface of the sink S and the inner wall 7 of the seal member 6 through the drain hole 5. At this time, since the sealing member 6 is adsorbed to the surface of the sink S, the water W is blocked by the sealing member 6 and does not flow out of the container 2, and a desired amount of water W can be stored in the container 2. becomes. Furthermore, the weight of the water W poured into the container 2 causes the sealing member 6 to flow and be more strongly adsorbed to the surface of the sealing member S.

A desired amount of water W is stored in the container 2 and the tableware C inside the container 2 is washed. At this time, the tableware C is supported by the stopper 11 and does not flow out of the container 2.

After washing tableware C, remove container 2 as shown in Figure 1.
Lift one side upward to make it tilted. Then, air entered the gap 8 part of the seal member 6 that had maintained negative pressure until then, the adsorption of the seal member 6 to the surface of the sink S was released, and the water inside the container 2 accumulated on the inner surface of the bottom 3. Together with the waste D such as rice grains, the water is discharged to the outside of the container 2 through the water hole 5 and the seal member 6 as shown by an arrow 101. At this time, the tableware C is not placed directly on the bottom 3 of the container 2, but is placed on the stopper 11 placed on the bottom 3 with a predetermined space, so that the tableware C does not accumulate on the bottom 3 of the container 2. Garbage D such as rice grains is discharged to the outside of the container 2 through the drain hole 5 without being obstructed by the tableware C.

Although some water W remains at the boundary between the bottom 3 and side 4 of the container 2, the container 2 is lowered into the sink S and placed in a horizontal state, as shown in Figure 5. At this time, water remaining inside the container 2 is also discharged to the outside of the container 2 through the hole 5.

As mentioned above, in the washing tub of this embodiment, the container 2
The water inside the container 2 can be completely drained by tilting the container 2 slightly. As a result, drainage work can be easily performed, and the tableware C inside the container 2 will not flow out from the opening 1 to the outside of the container 2.

In general, since the tableware C is placed on the stopper 11, the dirt D accumulated on the inner surface of the bottom 3 of the container 2 is discharged to the outside of the container 2 through the drain hole 5 and does not remain inside the container 2. There is no inconvenience.

In addition, the tableware C does not flow out of the container 2 from the drain hole 5 during draining.

Note that this embodiment may be modified and implemented as follows.

(1) Support protrusion 108 is not provided over the entire inner circumference of the container 2 side 4, but is provided only on a part of the inner surface of the container 2 side 11 as long as it can support the base 1 to the collar 11 so that they cannot fall off downward. . Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the supporting protrusion 10 may be omitted, and the container 2 may have a shape that becomes smaller in diameter toward the bottom.
The stopper 11 is locked inside the container 2 by engaging the outer peripheral edge of the stopper 11 with the inner surface.

(2) As shown in Fig. 7, instead of the large diameter drainage hole 5,
Dimension J of cleaning item C: Container 2 with multiple small-diameter drainage holes 15
Formed on the bottom part 3. In this way, the stopper 11 can be omitted.

(3) Instead of the seal member 6 having a suction function, a seal member made of an elastic material such as rubber is used. Also in this case, while cleaning the object C, the seal member has elasticity and comes into close contact with the surface of the sink S, so that the water W inside the container 2 does not flow out from the seal portion H to the outside of the container 2.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11, in which the present invention is embodied in a washing tub set used for, for example, washing rice. The washing tub set of this embodiment is particularly used in a sink S having an uneven surface.

As shown in FIG. 9, the washing tubs 1 to 1 of this embodiment are made of elastic synthetic resin, rubber, etc.
An elastic mat 21 placed on the surface and the same elastic mat 21
It consists of a washing tub 22 placed on top. elastic mat 21
is designed to absorb the unevenness on the surface of the sink S on its back side.

As shown in FIG. 8, a water hole 26 is provided in the center of the bottom 24 of the container 23, which is formed into a vaucle shape using synthetic resin. A difference portion 27 is formed over the entire circumference. In the same gap part 27, there are disk-shaped strips 1 to 28 having a large number of holes 29 having a diameter smaller than a grain of rice as the cleaning object C.
is fitted in a removable and immovable manner.

A string-like member 30 is attached to the stopper 28 for removing the stopper 28 fitted in the cut-off portion 27 from the cut-off portion 27, and the tip of the string-like member 30 is attached to the side portion 2 of the container 23.
5 A pair of locking protrusions 3 integrally formed on the upper part of the inner surface
It is locked between 2. The distance between the locking protrusions 32 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the string-like member 30, and the locking protrusions 3
With the string-like member 30 locked between the two, the string-like member 30 is not easily separated from the locking protrusion 32. Further, a knot 31 is formed at the tip of the string-like member 30, and the knot 31 and the upper end of the locking projection 32 are engaged to prevent the string-like member 30 from falling off below the locking projection 32. There is C.

A seal protrusion 33 is integrally formed on the outer surface of the bottom 24 of the container 23 and extends over the entire circumference of the water hole 26 and projects downward from the outer surface of the bottom 24. J shown in Figure 9:
In a state where the washing tub 22 is placed on the elastic mat 21, the seal protrusion 33 comes into close contact with the container 2 so as to be removable with its lower end slightly biting into the surface of the elastic mat 21.
3. It is designed to prevent water W from flowing out from inside.

Note that the thickness of the seal protrusion 33 is preferably small in order to improve its bite into the elastic mat 21.

Further, as long as the seal protrusion 33 is arranged radially outward of the water fire hole 26, the dimensions of both 26 and 33 can be changed at any time.

Rice C using the washing tub set 1- configured as above.
The process of sharpening is explained below.

As shown in FIG.
Place 2. In this state, when rice C is placed inside the container 23 and water W is poured, the water W reaches the space surrounded by the surface of the sink S and the inner peripheral surface of the seal protrusion 33 through the water hole 26.

At this time, since the lower end of the seal protrusion 33 is slightly bitten into the surface of the elastic mat 21 and is in close contact with the surface, the water W is blocked by the seal protrusion 33 and does not flow out of the container 23.

After a predetermined amount of water W is stored in the container 23 and the rice C is polished, one side of the container 23 is lifted upward to make it tilted, as shown in FIG. Then, the seal protrusion 33 separates from the surface of the elastic mat 21, and the water W inside the container 23 flows as shown by the arrow 10.
As shown in 2, the water is discharged to the outside of the container 23 through the water hole 26 and the seal protrusion 33. At this time, the rice C is prevented from flowing out to the outside of the container 23 by the stopper 28, and if small garbage is mixed in the rice C, the garbage is discharged to the outside of the container 23 through the hole 29 of the stopper 28. be done.

After repeating the above steps and finishing polishing rice C, wash tub 2.
2 is placed in the rice cooker 34, and the string-like member 30
pull upward. Then, the stopper 28 separates from the gap 27, and the rice C inside the container 23 is discharged into the rice cooker 34 through the drainage hole 26.

In addition to the effect that the water W in the washing tub 22 can be easily drained in the washing tub sets 1 to 1 of the present embodiment, the water W in the washing tub 22 can be easily discharged, as in the first embodiment. have an effect. However, even if the sink S has an uneven surface, the elastic mat 21 absorbs the unevenness on the back surface, so that the close contact between the lower end of the seal protrusion 33 and the surface of the elastic mat 21 is not hindered. Therefore, the washing tub set of this embodiment can be used not only for a sink S that has an uneven surface such as stainless steel, but also for a sink S that has an uneven surface, such as a sink S made of concrete 1.

Also, place the lower part of the washing tub 22 in the rice cooker 34 and pull the string member 30 to transfer the rice C in the container 23 to the rice cooker 34.
4 can be easily transferred.

This embodiment can also be modified and implemented as follows.

(1) As shown in FIG. 12, a mounting hole 41 is transparently provided in the upper part of the side 25 of the container 23, and the tip of the string member 30 is led out to the outside of the container 23 through the mounting hole 41, and the knot 31 is tied. Form. By covering it in this way, there is no possibility that the string-like portion 30 will fall into the container 23 when the rice C is sharpened.

(2) The washing tub set of this embodiment is used for washing rice (in addition, it may also be used for washing dishes, vegetables, etc.).

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and may be modified at any time without departing from the spirit of the invention, for example, the container may be made of metal such as aluminum, or the shape of the container may be rectangular. Of course, it is possible to make it more concrete.
