[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-13101

In the conventional kitchen sink, as described in the above patent document 1. The bottom surface is generally inclined toward the drainage opening, and the bottom surface of the sink has a mortar-like slope with the drainage opening as the center. Here, when the preparation of the foodstuffs and the washing of the foodstuffs are performed in a sink, the leftovers adhering to the foodstuffs and the vegetable wastes of the foodstuffs and the like during the preparation (hereinafter referred to as vegetable wastes, etc.) occur.

At this time, if it is known that the bottom surface is a sink inclined toward the drain In this case, vegetable waste, etc., which is located closer to the drain than the discharge position from the faucet, will flow toward the drain by the water flow during washing. Stuck there. Furthermore, in a conventional water tank, a drain is arranged on the rear side of the water tank. However, vegetable waste and the like are deposited on the front side of the sink by conditioning. Therefore, the retention of vegetable waste, etc. occurs every time. 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 waste and the like are liable to stay, since dirt is liable to adhere, labor and time are required for cleaning, and there is a problem that the cleaning performance is reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide The kitchen water tank does not easily cause the retention of vegetable waste and the like on the bottom surface of the water tank, which can improve the user's comfort and cleaning performance.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a representative example of the kitchen sink according to the present invention has a structure including an inclined surface inclined downward toward the front side in the front-rear direction, a drain outlet disposed along a side edge of the inclined surface, And extending from the edge on the front side of the inclined surface along the side edge to the drain Continuous induction groove.

According to the above-mentioned configuration, 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. In addition, "almost flat" refers to ideal flatness. However, strictly speaking, it is necessary (formally) for molding reasons to have some mortar-shaped or drum-shaped bends. The meaning of ground formation. 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.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, another configuration of the kitchen sink according to the present invention includes: The side-inclined inclined surface, the drainage port arranged along the rear side edge of the inclined surface, and the continuous induction groove extending from the front side edge of the inclined surface along the side edge and the rear side edge to the drainage port. With this configuration, the bottom surface of the water tank, that is, the vegetable waste in the inclined surface is also guided to the drain port by the induction groove, so that the same effects as described above can be obtained.

The above-mentioned drainage port is located in the left-right direction of the inclined surface, It is only necessary to arrange the side of the conditioning space near the kitchen. Vegetable waste and the like easily occur in the conditioning space of the kitchen. Therefore, by arranging the drain port on the side of the conditioning space, it becomes easy to discard vegetable wastes and the like toward the drain port, thereby improving workability during conditioning.

The above-mentioned drainage port is located in the left-right direction of the inclined surface, It may be arranged near the faucet side. This makes it possible to increase the above-mentioned effect because the vegetable wastes and the like are easily caused to flow toward the drain by the flow of water from the faucet.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a kitchen water tank, which does not easily cause the retention of vegetable wastes and the like on the bottom surface of the water tank, and can improve user comfort and cleaning performance.

The drain opening 120 is covered by a drain cover 160 arranged 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.

FIG. 3 illustrates another shape of the drain cover 160 In the figure, the water tank 100 shown in FIG. 1 (b) is schematically shown. In this embodiment, the drain cover 160 having a substantially triangular shape (a right-angled triangular shape) is illustrated as shown in FIG. 1 (b), but it is not limited to this. The drain cover 160 may have a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 3 (a), and may be a round shape as shown in FIG. 4 (b).

And in this embodiment, although the shape of the water tank 100 is set to Horizontally long quadrangular shape, but this is only an example and is not limited to users. The water tank 100 may have other shapes such as a circular shape and an L shape. Further, the water tank 100 of this embodiment is exemplified by a configuration including a faucet mounting surface 150, but this is not a limitation. The faucet mounting surface 150 is not provided, and a faucet is arranged outside the water tank 100, that is, a mounting hole 152 for mounting the faucet is formed. Composition is also possible. The position of the faucet mounting surface 150 further on the faucet (mounting hole 152) is not necessarily provided on the left side of the rear side of the water tank 100, and can be arranged at any position such as the center and right side.

The characteristic of this embodiment is an inclined surface as shown in FIG. 2 (a). 110 is inclined downward in the front-rear direction as it goes toward the front side. Accordingly, the water from the faucet flows in the direction of the arrow D1 shown in Figs. 1 (a) and 2 (a), that is, the front side of the sink 100.

The guide groove 130 is an edge from the front side of the inclined surface 110 (Hereinafter, referred to as the front edge 112a) extends along the side edge 112b to the drainage opening 120 continuously. For the convenience of explanation, in the present embodiment, the left corner on 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 in the length direction 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 Figures 2 (b) and (c), the induction groove 130 is also long. The degree-side induction groove 130a and the width-side induction groove 130b are grooves which are recessed downwardly than the inclined surface 110, and are inclined downward as they go toward the drainage opening 120 (refer to FIG. 1 (a)). 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 explained above, in the water tank 100 of this embodiment, The inclined surface 110 whose bottom surface is not inclined in a mortar-like shape toward the drainage opening 120 as conventionally known, but is oriented flat toward the induction groove 130 (strictly, the length-side induction groove 130a) provided on the front side of the inclined surface 110. Ground tilt. 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 has a water discharge position from the faucet located more upstream than the area on the front side where vegetable waste and the like occur. thus, The vegetable waste and the like (hereinafter referred to as vegetable waste 102) illustrated in FIG. 1 (b) are directed from the rear side (upstream side) of the inclined surface 110 toward the direction D1 (FIG. 1 ( (a) and FIG. 2 (a) (refer to FIG. 2) The flowing water flows toward the length-side induction groove 130a.

And the length-side induction groove 130a is 120 is inclined downward, so that the vegetable waste 102 flowing into the length-side induction groove 130a is directed toward the one shown in Figs. 1 (a) and 2 (b) by the flow of water flowing into the length-side induction groove 130a together. In the direction of the arrow D2, that is, the width-side induction groove 130b continuous with the drainage opening 120 flows. At this time, the width-side induction groove 130b also inclines downward toward the drainage opening 120, so that the vegetable waste 102 flowing into the width-side induction groove 130b is directed to the direction of arrow D3 by the water flowing there (FIG. 1 ( a) and FIG. 2 (c)) flow to the drain 120. The water flowing through the width-side induction groove 130 b is guided to the drain opening 120 so as to enter the drain cover 160.

With the above configuration, when washing food utensils, etc., The flowing water flows on the inclined surface 110, and the vegetable waste 102 in the area on the front side of the inclined surface 110 naturally flows toward the induction groove 130 and is guided toward the drainage opening 120. 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, by using the vegetable waste 102 during washing operation, The water flow naturally moves toward the drain opening 120, and the retention of vegetable wastes toward the bottom surface (inclined surface 110) of the water tank 100 is prevented. Especially inclined surface 110 The flat tilt causes the water flow to flow more widely, such as in the case of a conventional mortar-like tilt, so that 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 this embodiment, the drainage opening 120 is tilted The left-right direction of the surface 110 is arranged close to the faucet side, that is, the side where the mounting hole 152 is provided. Thereby, it becomes easy to make the vegetable waste 102 flow toward the drain 120 by the flow of water from a faucet, and the said effect can be improved more.

The drainage opening 120 is in the left-right direction of the inclined surface 110. It may be arranged near the conditioning space (not shown) in which the kitchen is provided. 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.

FIG. 4 shows another shape of the induction groove 130 In the figure, the water tank 100 shown in FIG. 1 (b) is schematically shown. In the example shown in Figs. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the drain port (not shown) is disposed along the rear edge 112c of the inclined surface, that is, the rear edge 112c, and is carried by The 160 is placed above. In addition, in FIG. 4A, the induction groove 130 is a length-side induction groove 130a extending along the front edge 112a of the inclined surface 110 and a width-side induction groove 130b extending along the side edge 112b. It also includes a rear-side induction groove 130 c that extends along the rear edge 112 c of the inclined surface 110 to the drain opening 120. As a result, the vegetable waste 102 (refer to FIG. 2 (b)) of the inclined surface 110 flows through the length-side induction groove 130a and the width-side induction groove 130b and flows into the rear-side induction groove 130c. 130c is guided toward the drain 120. Therefore, the same effect as that of the water tank 100 shown in FIG. 1 can be obtained.

In FIG. 4 (b), the length-side induction groove 130a and the width The two side induction grooves 130 b are symmetrically provided in the left-right direction of the water tank 100. With this configuration, the vegetable waste 102 of the inclined surface 110 can be optimally guided to the drain port 120, and the same effects as described above can be obtained. Further, in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the drain cover 160 is rectangular. As a result, it is possible to reduce the protrusion of the drain cover 160 toward the bottom surface of the water tank 100, that is, the inclined surface 110, and it is possible to use this area efficiently.

The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such an example.
