Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kitchen sink unit equipped with a sink and a faucet, which is incorporated in a cabinet and used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A water faucet such as a hot and cold water mixing faucet provided in a conventional kitchen sink unit has been disclosed in, for example, JP-A-63-293.
As described in Japanese Patent No. 237, it is installed on the counter or on the wall surface of the front of the kitchen sink, and in any case, it is installed with the so-called functional parts such as the hot and cold water mixing part exposed. Has been.

Among them, the one provided with a faucet at the back of the counter requires a wide space for installing the faucet because the functional portion is exposed, and the sink space cannot but be sacrificed. Further, there is also a problem that water is accumulated on the faucet mounting portion of the counter, and dirt easily adheres to the counter.

In this respect, the so-called wall-extending faucet installed on the wall surface in front of the kitchen sink can take a large sink space and does not collect water on the counter surface, so that the above drawbacks can be solved to some extent. be able to.

However, in addition to the kitchen sink, a faucet must be provided on the wall surface for on-site construction,
The installation work is troublesome, and when the position of the faucet at the installation site shifts, it is not possible to cope with it sufficiently. Furthermore, like the one installed on the counter above, since the functional part of the faucet is exposed, it leaves a problem that it gives a feeling of pressure to the user and that dirt is easily attached during the washing work. There is.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above problems in installing a faucet, and provides a kitchen sink unit that does not obstruct the sink space and does not have a feeling of pressure, and is smart and easy to clean. The purpose is to do.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the kitchen sink unit of the present invention starts up a back guard having a storage space inside at the back side of the kitchen sink, and stores it in the storage space of the back guard. In addition to incorporating a functional part of a faucet such as a hot and cold water mixing part, a water discharge part and a faucet operating part of the faucet are provided on a front plate of the back guard in a protruding manner.

Here, the water discharge part of the faucet means a shower head or the like that can be freely put in and taken out from a spout or a back guard, and the functional part means a hot and cold water mixing tap, a cartridge of a water purifier or an ion water purifier, and the like. .

For the purpose of improving the functionality, a pocket for storing kitchen articles may be provided on the upper surface of the back guard, and a drain pipe may be connected to the pocket.

[0010]

In the present invention, since the water discharge part and the operation part of the faucet are projected on the front plate of the back guard, the integration with the kitchen sink can be ensured without sacrificing the sink space. By incorporating the functional unit in the back guard, adhesion of dirt to the functional unit is prevented.

1 is a perspective view of a kitchen sink unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the kitchen sink unit shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. Is.

Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a cabinet, which is integrally formed with a counter 2 on the upper surface of the cabinet 1 by press molding or welding and is provided with a drainage port 3 at the center rear side.
The sink 3 provided with a is mounted. The sink 3 has a rectangular planar shape, and a step portion 3b for arranging a cutting board is provided on the outer periphery of the upper end thereof, whereby the cutting board can be slid over the entire width of the sink 3. Reference numeral 4 denotes a back guard having the same width as the counter 2 standing upright on the back side of the sink 3, and the front surface of the front plate 4a thereof is formed to be continuous with the rising surface 3c of the stepped portion 3b as shown in FIG. However, this ensures the maximum depth in the depth direction of the sink 3 with respect to the depth direction of the counter 2.

The back guard 4 is provided with the above-mentioned front plate 4a and a horizontally installed top plate 4b, and a storage space is formed therein. At the central position of the front plate 4a, a water discharge part 5 of the faucet and an operation lever 6 for adjusting the discharge amount and temperature of the hot water from the water discharge part 5 are provided so as to project toward the sink 3 side. Further, a thermostat mixing unit 7 which is a functional part of the faucet is stored in the storage space of the back guard 4, and the water supply pipe 8a and the hot water supply pipe 8b are connected to the thermostat mixing unit 7.

As described above, without providing the faucet on the counter surface, only the discharge portion 5 and the operation lever 6 necessary for operating the faucet are provided on the surface of the back guard 4 standing upright on the back side of the sink 3. By doing so, integration with the kitchen sink can be secured without sacrificing the sink space. In addition, since the thermostat mixing unit 7 is housed in the back guard 4 and is not exposed to the outside, dirt can be effectively prevented from adhering to the thermostat mixing unit 7, and the feeling of pressure given to the user can be greatly reduced. You can

Further, pockets 9 for storing detergents or small items and for storing knives are provided at the left and right ends of the top plate 4b of the back guard 4 for the purpose of improving the functionality.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show a vertical cross section of a pocket 9 for storing detergent or small items and a knife, and FIG.
5 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 5, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line CC in FIG.

The structure of the pocket 9 is the same for both left and right, and the pocket body 9a whose upper side is opened is attached to the top plate 4 of the back guard 4.
It is provided by welding to the opening of b, and the pocket body 9a
A drain pipe 9b is connected to the bottom surface of the. This makes it possible to wash the inside of the pocket 9 and always maintain a clean state. Also, the pocket body 9a
A locking protrusion 9c protruding inward is formed at a substantially intermediate position.

In the present embodiment, a draining plate 10 having a large number of draining holes on the surface is attached to the locking projection 9c of the left pocket 9 to form a pocket for storing detergent or small items. Further, a knife insertion plate 11 is provided in the pocket 9 on the right side to serve as a pocket for storing a knife.

As described above, by forming the pocket 9 for storing the kitchen supplies in the back guard 4, it is possible to efficiently store the kitchen space without hindering the sink space.

In this embodiment, the function part is a hot and cold water mixing tap, but it is of course possible to incorporate a cartridge of a water purifier or an ion water purifier or a water cooler in the back guard.

[0021]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) By incorporating the functional part of the water faucet in the back guard, the functional part is prevented from becoming dirty and the user is not given a feeling of pressure.

(2) Since the water discharge part of the faucet is installed on the wall surface of the back guard, water does not collect around the faucet mounting part of the counter unlike the conventional one which is mounted on the counter surface, and dirt is attached. Can be prevented.

(3) By providing the back guard with a storage pocket, it is possible to store sponges, detergents, etc., which are used in the work around water, so that the sink space can be effectively used.
