Description

Kitchen sinks {SINK FOR KITCHEN}

The present invention relates to a kitchen sink that is embedded in a kitchen cabinet such as a system kitchen.

Conventionally, in a kitchen, a sink is integrally incorporated in a kitchen cabinet. In such a sink, cooking of a cooking material and cleaning of a tableware are performed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Particularly, in the sink disclosed in Patent Document 1, the right side portion of the faucet disposed in the vicinity of the center of the sink is cut away. In other words, the wall surface on the inside of the sink is bulged to the front side only to the right side of the faucet (hereinafter referred to as bulge). Thereby, the space inside the sink can be extended by the area on the right side of the faucet, and workability can be improved.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-158443

Since the sink for the kitchen is conspicuous to the user, a high beauty is required. Here, as in Patent Document 1, a configuration in which a drain hole is simply disposed on the bottom surface of a sink may cause an uncomfortable feeling. As a result, improvement of aesthetics in a sink for a kitchen provided with a bulging portion as in Patent Document 1 has been studied.

In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sink for a kitchen which is capable of reducing discomfort caused by the formation of a drain hole and obtaining a high aesthetic appearance.

In order to solve the above problems, a typical structure of a kitchen sink according to the present invention is a kitchen sink having a drain hole at a corner portion of a sink, wherein a bulge for erecting a faucet protruding forward from the inner side surface of the sink And the drain port is disposed on the front side of the bulge, and the drain hole is triangular, and two sides of the drain hole follow the side surface of the sink and the front surface of the bulge.

According to the above configuration, since the drain port is disposed at the corner portion of the sink on the front side of the bulge, the bottom surface of the sink can be used more efficiently. In addition, the drain hole is triangular in shape with two sides extending along the side surface of the sink and the front surface of the bulge, so that the sink and the drain can have a sense of unity. Therefore, in the kitchen sink, it is possible to reduce discomfort caused by the formation of the drain hole, and to obtain a high aesthetic appearance.

The side surface of the bulge portion is inclined in a direction away from the drain hole as it faces the inside, and the side of the sink center side of the drain hole and the side surface of the bulge portion may be located on the same straight line in plan view. According to this configuration, when the sink is observed from the front side or the upper side, the side of the sink center side of the drain hole and the side surface of the bulge portion are connected in a straight line. As a result, the sense of unity between the bulged portion and the drain port can be enhanced, and the beauty can be improved.

Further comprising an inclined surface that is a bottom surface of the sink and slopes downwardly from an inner side toward a front side and an induction groove that extends from a rim of the front side of the inclined surface along a side edge to the drain hole, It may be disposed along the side edge.

In conventional kitchen sinks, it is general that the bottom surface is inclined toward the drain port, and the sink bottom surface has a slope of a trigger shape centering on the drain port. When the food is cooked in the sink or the dishes are cleaned, food residues adhered to the dishes or vegetable residue (hereinafter referred to as vegetable residue) in the vegetable material during cooking are generated. At this time, in the conventional sink, the vegetable residue at the drain port side rather than the water outlet position from the faucet flows to the drain port by the water flow at the time of cleaning, but the vegetable residue and the like on the opposite side of the drain port stays there. As a result, the user has to scoop up the collected vegetable residue, etc., by hand, and to flow it to the drain hole, resulting in troublesome work. Further, if vegetable residue or the like is likely to stay, contaminants tend to adhere, requiring labor for cleaning and deteriorating the cleaning property.

On the other hand, in the present invention, in the present invention, the bottom surface of the sink is not a drain hole but a substantially flat inclination toward the guide groove along the rim of the front side. The term " substantially flat " is ideally flat. However, the term " roughly flat " includes flattening in a slightly elongated shape or a curved shape in a north- As shown in FIG. In the following description, "roughly flat" is simply referred to as "flat".

The inclined plane is flattened as described above, so that the water jetting position from the faucet is positioned on the upstream side of the inclination of the bottom face, as compared with the area on the sink front side where vegetable residue or the like is generated. Therefore, the vegetable residue or the like flows down toward the guide groove by the water flow flowing on the inclined surface which is the bottom surface of the sink. Further, since the bottom surface is a flat inclination, a flow of water flows in a wider area than in the case of a warp of the induced shape.

Then, the vegetable residue that has reached the guide groove flows toward the drain hole by the water introduced into the guide groove. Therefore, for example, vegetable residue is naturally flowed down by the flow of washing the dish, and the cleaning of the vegetable residue etc. is finished when the dish is washed. Therefore, the user does not have to perform a task of scraping off the vegetable residue as in the prior art, and troublesome labor is omitted, and high comfort can be obtained. Further, the retention of the vegetable residue or the like is prevented, so that adhesion of contaminants to the sink bottom surface is prevented, and the clean state is always maintained. As a result, the sink can be easily cleaned, and high cleaning performance can be obtained.

The dimensions, materials and other specific numerical values shown in these embodiments are merely examples for facilitating the understanding of the invention and are not intended to limit the present invention except for the cases mentioned specifically. In the present specification and drawings, elements having substantially the same function and configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. Elements not directly related to the present invention are not shown.

1 is an overall view of a kitchen sink (hereinafter, simply referred to as a sink 100) according to the present embodiment. Fig. 1 (a) is a perspective view of an entire sink 100, 1 is a view showing a state in which the sink 100 of FIG. 1 (a) is observed from above. FIG. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 (b), Fig. 2 (a) is a sectional view taken along the line AA in Fig. 1 2 (c) is a CC sectional view of Fig. 1 (b).

1, the sink 100 according to the present embodiment includes an inclined surface 110, a drain hole 120, and an induction groove 130. [ The inclined surface 110 is a bottom surface of the sink 100, and a wall surface 140 is erected from the periphery of the surface. A swelling portion 150 in which a mounting hole 152 for erecting a faucet (not shown) is disposed on the upper surface is provided on the inner side of the inside of the sink 100, And protrudes forward from the wall surface 140,

In the present embodiment, the drain port 120 is disposed on the front side of the swelling portion 150 along the side edge 112b of the inclined surface 110 at the corner portion on the inner side of the sink 100. Since the dead space can be reduced as compared with the case in which the drain hole is arranged in another area by disposing the drain hole 120 in the corner of the sink 100 on the front side of the bulging portion 150 as in the present embodiment, It is possible to more efficiently use the bottom surface (sloped surface 110) Further, the drain hole 120 is covered by a drain cover 160 disposed above. Thereby, since the drain hole 120 is not visible to the user, the appearance of the sink 100 can be improved.

1, the guide groove 130 extends from the rim (hereinafter referred to as front rim 112a) of the inclined surface 110 along the side rim 112b to the drain port 120 It is continuous. For convenience of explanation, in the present embodiment, the left corner on the front side of the sink 100 is defined as a boundary, which extends along the front edge 112a of the slope 110, The guide groove is referred to as a long side guide groove 130a and the guide groove extending along the side edge 112b of the slope 110, that is, the guide groove extending in the short direction of the sink 100, Quot; In the case where both of the long side guide groove 130a and the short side guide groove 130b are referred to, the guide groove 130 is referred to.

As shown in Fig. 2 (a), the inclined surface 110 is inclined downward toward the front side from the inside direction. As a result, water from the faucet flows toward the direction of the arrow D1, that is, toward the front side of the sink 100. [ The long side guide groove 130a and the short side guide groove 130b which are the guide grooves 130 are formed in a groove recessed downwardly from the slope face 110 as shown in Figures 2 (b) and 2 (c) And is inclined downward as it faces the drain port 120.

2 (b), the long side guide groove 130a extends in the left-right direction toward the side where the drain hole 120 is formed (left side in this embodiment) It is inclined downward. As shown in FIG. 2 (c), the short side guide groove 130b is inclined downward toward the side where the drain hole 120 is formed, that is, toward the inside in the inside direction.

As described above, in the sink 100 of the present embodiment, the inclined surface 110 serving as the bottom surface of the sink 100 is not inclined in the induced shape toward the drain hole 120 as in the conventional art, Is a flat inclination toward the guide groove 130 (strictly, the long side guide groove 130a) Since the mount hole 152 in which the faucet is mounted is formed on the inner side of the sink 100, the position of the water jetted from the faucet on the inclined surface 110 is located upstream of the area on the front side where the vegetable residue, . Thus, vegetable residue (hereinafter referred to as vegetable residue 102) schematically shown in Fig. 1 is formed by the water stream flowing in the direction D1 from the inside (upstream side) of the inclined surface 110 130a.

The long side guide groove 130a is inclined downward toward the drain hole 120 so that the vegetable residue 102 flowing into the long side guide groove 130a is guided by the long side guide groove 130a In the direction of the arrow D2 shown in Fig. 1, that is, toward the short side guide groove 130b which is continuous with the drain hole 120. In this way, At this time, even in the short side guide groove 130b, the vegetable residue 102 flowing into the short side guide groove 130b is inclined downwardly toward the drain hole 120, D3 direction to reach the drain port 120 and the water flowing in the short side guide groove 130b is led to the drain port 120. [

According to the above configuration, the water flowing when cleaning the tableware or the like flows along the inclined surface 110, so that the vegetable residue 102 in the area on the front side of the inclined surface 110 flows naturally toward the guide groove 130, (Not shown). Therefore, when the cleaning operation of the tableware or the like is completed, the removal of the vegetable residue 102 is completed. As a result, the user does not need to scrape up the vegetable residue 102 as in the prior art, and high comfort can be obtained.

Further, the vegetable residue 102 is naturally moved to the drain 120 by the flow of water during the cleaning operation, so that the retention of the vegetable residue in the bottom surface (inclined surface 110) of the sink 100 is prevented. Particularly, since the inclined surface 110 is inclined flatly, a flow of water flows in a wider area than in the case of tilting of the induced shape as in the prior art, and the retention of the vegetable residue 102 is further suppressed. As a result, adhesion of contaminants to the bottom surface of the sink 100 due to the retention of the vegetable residue 102 can be appropriately prevented, and the clean state can be maintained at all times. Therefore, the user can easily clean the sink 100, and high cleaning performance can be obtained.

In this embodiment, the drain hole 120 is disposed at a side where the faucet is arranged, that is, on the side where the mounting hole 152 is formed, in the left-right direction of the inclined surface 110. As a result, the vegetable residue 102, which has fallen on the inclined surface 110 due to the flow of water from the faucet, flows easily toward the drain port 120, so that the above-mentioned effect can be further enhanced.

Further, the drain hole 120 may be disposed at a side where the cooking space (not shown) of the kitchen is installed in the left-right direction of the inclined surface 110. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the cooking space of the kitchen is provided on the left side of the sink 100, and the drain port 120 is disposed to the left side of the sink 100 in a biased manner. As a result, the vegetable residue 102 generated in the cooking space of the kitchen falls to the side of the drain port 120, so that the vegetable residue 102 is easily flowed by the flowing water.

1 (a) and 1 (b), the drain hole 120 is formed in the side surface 142 of the sink 100 and the front surface 154 of the swelling portion 150, And a triangular shape including two sides that follow. Thus, the drain hole 120 has a shape along the corner of the sink 100, so that the sink 100 and the drain hole 120 can have an integrated feeling. Therefore, the feeling of discomfort caused by the formation of the drain hole 120 is reduced, and a high aesthetic appearance can be obtained in the sink 100.

By arranging the drain port 120 along the front surface 154 of the swelling portion 150 at the corner of the sink 100 on the front side of the swelling portion 150 as in this embodiment, The distance of the short side guide groove 130b can be shortened as compared with the case where the drain hole is provided at the corner portion of the sink 100 without the guide groove 150. [ As a result, the inclination of the short side guide groove 130b can be made smooth, that is, the depth of the guide groove 130b can be made shallow, so that the sink 100 can be easily formed, It becomes possible.

1 (b), the side surface 156 of the swelling portion 150 is formed to face the drain hole 120 as it faces the inside of the sink 100. In the sink 100 of the present embodiment, As shown in Fig. 1 (b), the sides 122 on the sink center side of the drain hole 120 and the side surfaces 156 of the swelling portion 150 Are located on the same straight line. As a result, when the sink 100 is viewed from the front or the upper side, the side 122 on the sink center side of the drain port 120 and the side surface 156 of the swelling portion 150 are aligned with one straight line . Therefore, the sense of unity between the bulging portion 150 and the drain 120 can be enhanced, and a higher aesthetic appearance can be obtained in the sink 100. [

In the present embodiment, the shape of the sink 100 is rectangular, but the shape of the sink 100 is not limited thereto. For example, the shape of the sink 100 may be circular or L-shaped . Also in the position of the bulging portion 150 and further the faucet (mounting hole 152), it is not necessarily required to be the left corner on the inside of the sink 100, and it may be arranged at any position such as the center or right corner do.

While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to these examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

The present invention can be used as a kitchen sink incorporated in a kitchen cabinet such as a system kitchen.
