[Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-158443

The kitchen sink is required to have high aesthetic appearance because it will contact the eyes of the user. Here, if the bottom surface of the water tank of Patent Literature 1 is only configured with a conventional drain port, a strange feeling may occur and the appearance is not excellent. Therefore, the improvement of the aesthetic appearance in the kitchen sink provided with the bulging part like patent document 1 is examined.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object thereof is to provide a kitchen water tank, which can reduce the strange feeling caused by the provision of a drain port, and can obtain high aesthetic appearance.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a representative example of the kitchen water tank according to the present invention has a configuration in which a kitchen water tank having a drain port at a corner portion of the water tank is provided with a faucet for erecting a faucet protruding from a rear surface of the water tank toward a front side The outlet part and the drainage port are arranged on the front side of the bulging part, the drainage port is triangular, and the two sides of the drainage port are along the side of the sink and the front of the bulging part.

According to the above-mentioned configuration, the bottom of the water tank can be used more efficiently by using the corners of the water tank arranged at the front side of the bulged portion in the drain port. In addition, the drain port has a triangular shape along two sides along the side of the water tank and the front of the bulging portion, so that the water tank and the water drain port can have an integrated feeling. Therefore, in the kitchen water tank, it is possible to reduce the strange feeling caused by the drainage outlet, and obtain a high aesthetic appearance.

The side surface of the bulging part moves away from the rear side. The direction of the drain port is inclined. In plan view, the side of the center of the sink of the drain port and the side of the bulged portion may be on the same straight line. According to this configuration, when the water tank is viewed from the front and above, the side of the center of the water tank and the side of the bulged portion of the drainage port are considered to be connected in a straight line. Thereby, the sense of unity of the bulged portion and the drain can be improved, and the appearance can be further improved.

Further, the bottom surface of the water tank is provided with an inclined surface inclined downward toward the front side in the front-rear direction, and an induction groove extending from the front edge of the inclined surface to the drainage outlet along the side edge, the drainage outlet is It may be arranged along the side edge of the inclined surface.

In the conventional kitchen water tank, the bottom surface is generally inclined toward the drain port, and the bottom surface of the water tank is inclined in a mortar shape with the drain port as the center. When the food is prepared in the sink and the food is cleaned, vegetable waste and the like (hereinafter, referred to as vegetable waste, etc.) adhering to the leftovers of the food and the food during the preparation are generated. At this time, in the conventional water tank, vegetable wastes, etc., which are located closer to the drain port than the spout position from the faucet, flow toward the drain port by the water flow during washing. Vegetable waste, etc. in the side will stay there. For this reason, the user has a problem that the accumulated vegetable wastes and the like must be collected by hand and flowed to the drainage outlet, and the labor and time are complicated. In addition, if vegetable wastes and the like are liable to stay, because dirt is liable to adhere, labor and time are required for cleaning, which may result in a decrease in cleaning performance.

As described above, in the present invention, the bottom surface of the water tank is inclined almost flatly toward the induction groove along the edge on the front side instead of the drainage opening. "Almost flat" means ideally flat, but The above reasons strictly include the fact that there are some mortar-shaped or drum-shaped bends, such as grooves and grooves that are not intentionally formed. In the following description, "almost flat" is only expressed as "flat."

As described above, the inclined surface is flat, and the water discharge position from the faucet is the inclined upstream side of the bottom surface of the area located on the front side of the sink where vegetable waste and the like occur. Therefore, vegetable waste and the like are caused to flow toward the induction groove by the water flowing on the bottom surface of the water tank, that is, the inclined surface. In addition, since the bottom surface is flatly inclined, the water flow flows more widely than in the case of a mortar-like inclination.

In addition, vegetable wastes and the like that reach the gutter are directed toward the drainage port by the water flowing into the gutter. Therefore, for example, the vegetable waste and the like are also naturally flowed by the water flow of the dish washing, and the cleaning of the vegetable waste and the like is completed when the dish washing is completed. Therefore, the user does not need to perform the operation of scraping and collecting vegetable waste as is known, and complicated labor and time are saved, so that high comfort can be obtained. Furthermore, the retention of vegetable waste and the like is prevented, and the adhesion of dirt to the bottom surface of the water tank is prevented, so that the state can be kept clean at all times. Therefore, cleaning of a water tank can be performed easily, and high cleaning performance can be obtained.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a kitchen water tank, which can reduce the strange feeling caused by the provision of a drainage outlet, and can obtain a high aesthetic appearance.

[Figure 2] Sectional view of Figure 1 (b).

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the kitchen sink according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The dimensions, materials, and other specific numerical values shown in this embodiment are merely examples for making the understanding of the invention easy to use, and the present inventors are not limited unless otherwise specified. In this specification and the drawings, elements that have substantially the same function and configuration are omitted by repeated description by adding the same reference numerals, and elements that are not directly related to the present invention are omitted from the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall view showing a kitchen water tank (hereinafter, simply referred to as the water tank 100) according to this embodiment, and FIG. 1 (a) is an overall perspective view showing the water tank 100, and FIG. 1 (b) is a display The figure which looked at the water tank 100 of FIG. 1 (a) from the top. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 (b), Fig. 2 (a) is a sectional view of AA in Fig. 1 (b), and Fig. 2 (b) is BB of Fig. 1 (b) The sectional view, FIG. 2 (c), is a CC sectional view of FIG. 1 (b).

As shown in FIG. 1, the water tank 100 according to this embodiment is configured to include an inclined surface 110, a drainage port 120, and an induction groove 130. The inclined surface 110 is a bottom surface of the water tank 100, and a wall surface is erected from an edge around the inclined surface 110 140. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the mounting hole 152 for raising a faucet (not shown) on the left side of the rear side of the water tank 100 is arranged on the bulging portion 150 on the upper side, which is the surface from the rear side of the water tank 100, that is, the wall surface. 140 protrudes toward the front side.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a drain port 120 is disposed along a side edge 112 b of the inclined surface 110 at a corner portion on the rear side of the water tank 100 and on the front side of the bulged portion 150. By arranging the drain opening 120 at the corner of the water tank 100 on the front side of the bulging portion 150 as in the present embodiment, the dead space can be reduced compared to the case where the drain opening is arranged in another area, so it becomes possible. The bottom surface (inclined surface 110) of the water tank 100 is used more efficiently. The drain opening 120 is covered by a drain cover 160 disposed above. Accordingly, since the drain port 120 does not come into contact with the eyes of the user, the appearance of the water tank 100 can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 1, the induction groove 130 extends continuously from the edge on the front side of the inclined surface 110 (hereinafter referred to as the front edge 112 a) along the side edge 112 b to the drain port 120. For the convenience of explanation, in this embodiment, the left side of the front side of the water tank 100 is taken as the boundary, and the induction groove extending along the front edge 112a of the inclined surface 110, that is, extending toward the length of the water tank 100 is referred to as the length side induction The groove 130 a is an induction groove extending along the side edge 112 b of the inclined surface 110, that is, extending in the width direction of the water tank 100, as a width-side induction groove 130 b. When referring to both the length-side induction groove 130a and the width-side induction groove 130b, these are referred to as the induction groove 130.

As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the inclined surface 110 is inclined downward toward the front side in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the Water flows in the direction of arrow D1, that is, the front side of the water tank 100. As shown in Figs. 2 (b) and (c), the induction groove 130, that is, the length-side induction groove 130a and the width-side induction groove 130b, is a groove that is recessed downwardly than the inclined surface 110. Tilt down.

In detail, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the length-side induction groove 130a is inclined downward in the left-right direction as it goes toward the side where the drain port 120 is provided (the left side in this embodiment). As shown in FIG. 2 (c), the width-side induction groove 130b is inclined in the front-rear direction as the drainage opening 120 is provided, that is, the rear side is inclined downward.

As described above, in the water tank 100 of this embodiment, the inclined surface 110 which is the bottom surface thereof is not inclined in a mortar shape toward the drainage opening 120 as is conventional, but is directed toward the guidance provided on the front side of such an inclined surface 110. The groove 130 (strictly the length-side induction groove 130a) is inclined flatly. Furthermore, since the installation hole 152 for installing the faucet is provided on the rear side of the water tank 100, the sloping surface 110 is positioned more upstream than the area on the front side where vegetable waste and the like occur from the faucet. Therefore, the vegetable waste and the like (hereinafter, referred to as vegetable waste 102) illustrated in FIG. 1 are induced by the water flowing from the rear side (upstream side) of the inclined surface 110 in the direction of D1 toward the length side. The groove 130a flows.

The length-side induction groove 130a is inclined downward toward the drain opening 120, so that the vegetable waste 102 flowing into the length-side induction groove 130a is directed toward the first flow by the water flowing into the length-side induction groove 130a. The direction of the arrow D2 shown, that is, the width-side induction groove 130b continuous with the drainage opening 120 flows. At this time, grooves are induced on the width side 130b also inclines downward toward the drainage opening 120, so that the vegetable waste 102 flowing into the width-side induction groove 130b flows into the drainage opening 120 by the water flowing there, and flows to the width-side induction. The water in the trench 130 b is guided toward the drain opening 120.

According to the above configuration, when washing food utensils and the like, the flowing water flows on the inclined surface 110, and the vegetable wastes 102 in the area on the front side of the inclined surface 110 naturally flow toward the induction groove 130 and toward the drainage opening 120. Be guided. Therefore, the removal of the vegetable waste 102 is completed at the end of the washing operation of the food utensils and the like. As a result, the user does not need to scrape the vegetable waste 102 as it is known, and high comfort can be obtained.

In addition, the vegetable waste 102 is naturally moved toward the drain opening 120 by the water flow during the washing operation, so that the retention of the vegetable waste toward the bottom surface (inclined surface 110) of the water tank 100 is prevented. In particular, the inclined surface 110 inclines evenly, so that a water current such as a conventional mortar-shaped inclination flows more widely, and the retention of the vegetable waste 102 is more suppressed. Thereby, the adhesion of the dirt on the bottom surface of the water tank 100 caused by the retention of the vegetable waste 102 can be optimally prevented, and the clean state can always be maintained. Therefore, the user can easily clean the water tank 100 and obtain high cleaning performance.

Further, in the present embodiment, the drain port 120 is disposed near the faucet side, that is, the mounting hole 152 side, in the left-right direction of the inclined surface 110. As a result, the vegetable waste 102 that has fallen toward the inclined surface 110 due to the flow of water from the faucet becomes easier to go toward the drain 120. The flow can increase the above-mentioned effect.

The drain port 120 may be disposed in the left-right direction of the inclined surface 110 near the conditioning space (not shown) on which the kitchen is installed. In this embodiment, the conditioning space of the kitchen is assumed to be provided on the left side of the water tank 100, and the drain port 120 is arranged near the left side of the water tank 100. As a result, the vegetable waste 102 generated in the conditioning space of the kitchen falls toward the drain port 120, so the vegetable waste 102 easily flows through the flowing water.

A feature of this embodiment is that, as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the drain port 120 has a triangular shape including two sides along the side surface 142 of the water tank 100 and the front surface 154 of the bulged portion 150. Accordingly, the drain opening 120 has a shape along the corner of the water tank 100, so that the water tank 100 and the water drain 120 can have a sense of unity. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the strange feeling caused by the provision of the drain opening 120, and it is possible to obtain a high aesthetic appearance in the water tank 100.

In particular, as in the present embodiment, the drainage port 120 is arranged at the corner of the water tank 100 on the front side of the bulging part 150 along the front surface 154 of the bulging part 150. The distance of the width-side induction groove 130b can be shortened compared with the case where a drain hole is arranged in the corner of 100. Accordingly, the inclination of the width-side induction groove 130b can be reduced, that is, the rear side of the induction groove 130b becomes shallow, so that the formation of the water tank 100 can be easily performed, and the cleaning performance can be improved.

Here, in the water tank 100 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the side surface 156 of the bulging portion 150 is inclined toward the rear side of the water tank 100 away from the drain port 120. Moreover, the progress of this embodiment As shown in FIG. 1 (b), the one-step feature is that, in a plan view, the side 122 of the center of the water tank of the drain port 120 and the side surface 156 of the bulging portion 150 are located on the same straight line. Thus, when the water tank 100 is viewed from the front and above, the side 122 of the water tank center side of the drain port 120 and the side surface 156 of the bulged portion 150 are observed to be connected in a straight line. Therefore, the integrated feeling of the bulging part 150 and the drainage opening 120 can be improved, and it becomes possible to obtain a more high-quality appearance in the water tank 100.

In this embodiment, the shape of the water tank 100 is a horizontally long rectangular shape. However, the shape is not limited to this. The water tank 100 may have other shapes such as a circular shape and an L shape. In addition, at the position of the faucet 150 further on the faucet (the mounting hole 152), it is not necessary to be arranged on the left side of the rear side of the water tank 100, and it can be arranged at any position such as the center and right side.

The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but needless to say, the present invention is not limited to such an example. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that various modifications or amendments can be conceived within the scope of the patent application, and those that naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention.
