Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a water tank to the top plate of a sink, vanity table, etc. In general, the structure for attaching an aquarium to a top plate is to provide an opening for attaching an aquarium through the plate-shaped core material that makes up the top plate and a water-resistant decorative plate attached to the top surface of the core material, and to attach the aquarium to the top plate. I am starting to install an aquarium. In this case, conventionally, the aquarium main body is dropped into the opening with the flange portion of the aquarium superimposed on the top surface of the decorative plate, and the aquarium and the top plate are connected using a fastening fitting. Therefore, it takes time to install the aquarium, and
Water that has entered between the decorative board and the flange reaches the end of the opening in the core material and penetrates into the end, causing it to swell and deform, thereby changing the tightening condition of the fastener and the installation condition of the aquarium. The problem was that it often caused errors. In addition, as a method of joining the top plate and the aquarium, there is a method in which the lower surface of the top plate and the main body of the aquarium are joined by filling synthetic resin.
In conventional products, a large amount of synthetic resin must be used in order to increase the strength of the bond, resulting in high costs.

The present invention was devised in view of this problem, and allows the aquarium to be mounted on the top plate easily, reliably, with high precision, and at low cost.
The open end of the core material will not be attacked by water, etc., and water scattered on the top plate can smoothly flow into the tank body. Furthermore, the strength of the flange of the tank and the flange part The purpose is to provide an aquarium mounting structure that increases the bonding strength between the top plate and the top plate.The main features of this structure are the plate-shaped core material that makes up the top plate and the water-resistant structure attached to its top surface. In an aquarium mounting structure in which an aquarium mounting opening is provided in the decorative board and the aquarium is mounted in the opening, the opening end of the decorative board is connected to the opening end of the core material. (b) The upper surface of the flange, which is flatly extended horizontally from the aquarium main body on the lower surface of the overhang, is directly or via an adhesive. (c) forming a peripheral edge of the overhang into a slope;
(d) making the flange portion and the water tank main body portion flush with the surface of the corner portion where they connect;
(e) forming a recess at the open end of the core material;
A liquid synthetic resin is integrally provided so as to surround the open end of the core material including the recess, the lower surface of the flange portion, and the periphery of the aquarium body portion, and to hang down from the lower surface of the flange portion. By filling the space formed by the frame and impregnating the opening end including the recess, and adhering to the lower surface of the flange and the frame and curing, the water tank and The reason is that the above-mentioned top plate is combined with the above-mentioned top plate.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. The top plate 2 to which the aquarium 1 is attached is made of a water-resistant laminate such as a melamine decorative board on the top surface of a wooden core material 3 such as particle board or plywood. Decorative board 4,
Further, waterproof paper 5 is pasted on the lower surface of each, and an opening 6 for attaching an aquarium is formed as follows.
That is, the opening end 3a of the core material 3 is cut out to form, for example, a V-shaped recess, and the opening end of the decorative board 4 is cut inward from the end 3a, that is, the opening 6.
The flange portion 4a extends in the direction toward the center of the aquarium 1 and matches the width of the flange portion 1a, which extends flatly in the horizontal direction of the aquarium 1. Further, the peripheral edge of the overhanging portion 4a forms a slope 4b at an angle of 45 degrees, for example, and forms a slope 4b at a corner surface 1c where the flange portion 1a of the aquarium 1 and the upper end of the aquarium body portion 1b connect, as will be described later. They are connected flush with each other via adhesive. On the other hand, the open end of the waterproof paper 5 is aligned with the lower end of the butt end 3a. The water tank 1 is fixed to the top plate 2,
Its structure is as follows. That is, the flange portion 1a of the water tank 1 is attached to the lower surface 4c of the overhanging portion 4a of the decorative board 4.
The upper surface 1d is overlapped via the adhesive 7, and the flange portion 1a is placed so as to surround the lower surface 1e of the flange portion 1a, the core material 3, and the aquarium body portion 1b.
A frame 1f, which is integrally provided and suspended from the lower surface 1e, is bonded with a thermosetting or thermoplastic synthetic resin 8, such as polyester resin, epoxy resin, or polyurethane resin.
This connection is performed, for example, as follows. That is,
After superimposing the flange portion 1a of the water tank 1 on the overhanging portion 4a of the top plate 2 placed upside down on a workbench etc. via the adhesive 7, the lower surface 1 of the flange portion 1a is
A liquid synthetic resin is filled into the space defined by the frame 1f and the butt end 3a, under pressure if necessary, to impregnate the core material 3 side from the butt end 3a 8a, and the lower surface of the flange portion 1a. 1e and the side surface 1g of the frame 1f, and then harden it.

According to this mounting structure, the top plate 2 and the water tank 1 are connected by the synthetic resin 8, as described above.
This can be done by simply filling the space formed by the flange portion 1a, frame 1f, and opening end 3a of the core material 3 and curing it.
The work of joining the water tank 1 and the top plate 2 is extremely simple, and the accuracy of mounting the two is also high. In addition, the synthetic resin 8 is applied to the opening end 3 of the core material 3, which is a concave part.
Since it is filled so as to penetrate into the core material 3, the bonding with the core material 3 is ensured and the bonding strength is high. Also, for example, during water work in the kitchen, water may spill onto the core material 3 of the top plate 2.
In addition, the peripheral edge of the projecting portion 4a of the decorative board 4 is formed into a slope so that it is flush with the flange portion 1a of the water tank 1. Therefore, the water scattered on the surface of the decorative board 4 can be smoothly collected and flowed from the overhang 4a into the tank main body 1b, and the overlapping portion of the overhang 4a and flange 1a Although it is supported by a synthetic resin 8, since the synthetic resin 8 is filled in the space divided by the frame 1f of the aquarium 1, the amount used is small, and the frame 1f is Since the flange portion 1a is reinforced and is also bonded to the synthetic resin 8, it is possible to attach it to the top surface of the overhang portion 4a or the bottom surface 1 of the aquarium 1.
Even if a strong downward force is applied to h, the projecting portion 4a will not bend.

As described above, according to the present invention, the aquarium can be attached and fixed to the top plate extremely easily and securely while maintaining high precision, and water does not enter between the aquarium and the top plate. In addition, the water scattered on the top plate can flow smoothly into the aquarium main body, and the amount of synthetic resin used to connect the top plate and the aquarium can be reduced, making it possible to connect the aquarium to the top plate. It is possible to provide an aquarium mounting structure that has great practical effects, such as lowering the installation cost and increasing the strength and durability of the overlapping part of the decorative board and the flange of the aquarium. It is something.
