Description

kitchen sink

technical field

The present invention relates to a kitchen sink assembled into a kitchen cabinet such as a system kitchen.

Background technique

Conventionally, in a kitchen, a sink is integrally installed in a kitchen cabinet, and ingredients are cooked or tableware is washed in the sink. For example, in the kitchen sink disclosed in Patent Document 1, the bottom surface of the sink is inclined so that the drain side is lowered. Thereby, the water during washing flows on the bottom surface of the sink toward the drain port, so that drainage can be improved, and workability can also be improved.

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

【Problems to be solved by the invention】

In conventional kitchen sinks, the bottom surface is generally inclined toward the drain outlet as in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, and the bottom surface of the sink has a mortar-shaped inclination around the drain outlet. Here, when ingredients are cooked or tableware is washed at the water tank, food residues adhering to the tableware, vegetable scraps and the like of ingredients during cooking (hereinafter referred to as vegetable scraps, etc.) are generated.

At this time, if it is a sink with the bottom surface inclined toward the drain outlet as in the past, although the vegetable debris on the side of the drain outlet is closer to the water spray position from the faucet, it will flow to the drain outlet by the water flow during washing, but it will be closer to the water spray position than the water spray position. Vegetable scraps and the like on the opposite side of the drain port stay there. Furthermore, in conventional water tanks, the drain port is arranged on the back side of the water tank. However, vegetable scraps and the like are deposited on the front side of the water tank due to cooking. Therefore, stagnation of vegetable scraps and the like occurs every time. Therefore, the user has to hold together the remaining vegetable scraps and the like with his hands to flow them to the water outlet, and there is a problem of troublesome labor and time. Furthermore, when vegetable residues and the like tend to remain, dirt tends to adhere, and therefore labor and time are required for cleaning, and there is also a problem of lowering cleaning performance.

Contents of the invention

In view of such problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a kitchen sink that is less prone to stagnation of vegetable scraps and the like on the bottom surface of the sink and can improve user comfort and cleanability.

【Proposal to solve the problem】

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the typical structure of the kitchen sink of the present invention is characterized by comprising: an inclined surface inclined downward as it goes toward the front side in the depth direction; and a drain port arranged along the side edge of the inclined surface. ; and the induction groove extending from the edge on the front side of the inclined surface along the side edge to continue to the drain.

According to the above configuration, the bottom surface of the water tank is inclined substantially flat toward the guide groove along the edge on the front side rather than toward the drain outlet. It should be noted that "approximately flat" is ideally flat, but strictly speaking (unavoidable) for reasons of molding, it also includes cases with slight mortar-shaped or drum-shaped curvature, and means that grooves are not intended to be formed. The meaning of waiting for such unevenness. In addition, in the following description, "approximately flat" is only expressed as "flat".

Since the inclined surface is flat as described above, the position of spraying water from the faucet is located upstream of the inclination of the bottom surface compared to the area in front of the sink where vegetable scraps and the like are generated. Therefore, vegetable scraps and the like flow toward the induction tank by the water flow flowing on the bottom surface of the water tank, that is, the inclined surface. Furthermore, since the bottom surface is a flat slope, the water flow can flow over a wider area than in the case of a mortar-shaped slope.

Then, the vegetable scraps and the like that have reached the induction tank flow toward the drain port by the water that has flowed into the induction tank. Therefore, for example, vegetable scraps and the like are naturally caused to flow by the flow of water for washing the dishes, and when the washing of the dishes is completed, the cleaning of the vegetable scraps and the like is also completed. Therefore, the user does not need to carry out the work of hugging the vegetable scraps together as in the past, saves troublesome labor and time, and can obtain high comfort. In addition, it prevents the stagnation of vegetable scraps and the like, thereby preventing the adhesion of dirt to the bottom surface of the water tank, and always ensures a clean state. Therefore, the water tank can be easily cleaned, and high cleanability can be obtained.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, another structure of the kitchen sink of the present invention is characterized by including: an inclined surface inclined downward as it goes toward the front side in the depth direction; and a drain outlet along the inner edge of the inclined surface and the induction groove extends from the edge on the front side of the inclined surface along the side edge and the edge on the back side to continue to the drain. With the above structure, vegetable residues and the like on the bottom surface of the water tank, that is, the inclined surface are guided to the drain port by the induction groove, so that the same effect as above can be obtained.

The drain port may be arranged close to the side of the kitchen where the cooking space is provided in the left-right direction of the inclined surface. In the cooking space of the kitchen, it is easy to produce vegetable residues and the like. Therefore, by arranging the drain port on the side of the cooking space, it is possible to easily discard vegetable scraps and the like to the drain port, and it is possible to improve workability during cooking.

The drain port may be arranged close to the side where the faucet is arranged in the left-right direction of the inclined surface. Thereby, it becomes easy to make vegetable scraps etc. flow toward a water outlet by the flow of the water from a faucet, Therefore The above-mentioned effect can be heightened.

【Invention effect】

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a kitchen sink that is less prone to stagnation of vegetable scraps and the like on the bottom surface of the water tank and that can improve user comfort and cleaning performance.

Fig. 1 is an overall view of a kitchen water sink (hereinafter simply referred to as sink 100) of the present embodiment, Fig. 1(a) is an overall perspective view of the sink 100, and Fig. 1(b) shows the sink 100 of Fig. 1(a) A diagram of the state observed from above. Fig. 2 is the sectional view of Fig. 1 (b), Fig. 2 (a) is the A-A sectional view of Fig. 1 (b), Fig. 2 (b) is the B-B sectional view of Fig. 1 (b), Fig. 2 (c) is Fig. 1 ( b) C-C sectional view.

As shown in FIGS. 1( a ) and ( b ), the water tank 100 of this embodiment includes an inclined surface 110 , a drain port 120 , and an induction groove 130 . The inclined surface 110 is the bottom surface of the water tank 100, and the wall surface 140 is erected from the edge part around it. Moreover, in this embodiment, a faucet mounting surface 150 is provided at the left corner on the back side of the sink 100 . The faucet mounting surface 150 is continuous from the wall surface 140 and has a mounting hole 152 for mounting a faucet (not shown).

In addition, in the present embodiment, the drain port 120 is arranged along the side edge 112 b of the inclined surface 110 on the front side of the faucet attachment surface 150 . The drain port 120 is covered with a drain cover 160 arranged above. Thereby, since the drain port 120 is not seen by a user, the appearance of the water tank 100 can be improved.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating another shape of the drain cover 160, and schematically illustrates the water tank 100 shown in FIG. 1(b). In this embodiment, although the drain cover 160 of a substantially triangular shape (right triangle shape) was illustrated as shown in FIG.1(b), it is not limited to this. The drain cover 160 may be, for example, a quadrangular shape as shown in FIG. 3( a ), or a circular shape as shown in FIG. 4( b ).

In addition, in this embodiment, although the shape of the water tank 100 is made into the horizontally long quadrangular shape, this is only an illustration, and it is not limited to this. The water tank 100 may have other shapes such as a circle or an L shape, for example. Moreover, in the water tank 100 of this embodiment, the structure provided with the faucet installation surface 150 is illustrated, but this is not limited, and the water faucet may be arranged outside the water tank 100 without the faucet installation surface 150, that is, on the side of the water tank 100. The outside is equipped with a mounting hole 152 for installing a water tap. The position of the faucet installation surface 150 or even the faucet (installation hole 152 ) does not have to be the left corner on the back side of the sink 100 , and can be arranged at any position such as the center or the right corner.

As a feature of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2( a ), the inclined surface 110 inclines downward as it goes toward the front side in the depth direction. Accordingly, the water from the faucet flows toward the direction of arrow D1 shown in FIG. 1( a ) and FIG. 2( a ), that is, toward the front side of the sink 100 .

The guide groove 130 extends from a front side edge of the inclined surface 110 (hereinafter referred to as the front edge 112 a ) along the side edge 112 b and is connected to the drain port 120 . For convenience of description, in this embodiment, the induction groove extending along the front edge 112 a of the inclined surface 110 , that is, extending along the longitudinal direction of the water tank 100 is referred to as the length side, taking the left corner on the front side of the water tank 100 as a boundary. As for the induction groove 130a, the induction groove extending along the side edge 112b of the inclined surface 110, that is, extending along the width direction of the water tank 100 is called a width side induction groove 130b. Moreover, when referring to both of the above-mentioned length side induction groove 130 a and width side induction groove 130 b, it is called the induction groove 130 .

As shown in Figure 2 (b) and (c), the length side induction groove 130a and the width side induction groove 130b as the induction groove 130 are grooves that are sunken downwards more than the inclined surface 110. 1(a)) while sloping downward. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2( b ), the longitudinal-side guiding groove 130 a inclines downward toward the side (in this embodiment, the left side) where the drain port 120 is provided in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 2( c ), the width-side guiding groove 130 b is inclined downward toward the back side, which is the side where the water outlet 120 is provided, in the depth direction.

As described above, in the water tank 100 of the present embodiment, the inclined surface 110 as the bottom surface is not a mortar-shaped inclination toward the drain port 120 as in the past, but is directed toward the inductive surface provided on the front side of the above-mentioned inclined surface 110 . The flat inclination of the groove 130 (strictly speaking, the longitudinal side induction groove 130a). In addition, since the installation hole 152 for attaching the faucet is provided on the back side of the sink 100, the water spraying position from the faucet is located on the upstream side of the inclined surface 110 than the near side area where vegetable scraps and the like are generated. Thus, the vegetable scraps, etc. (hereinafter referred to as vegetable scraps 102) schematically shown in FIG. The water flow from 2(a)) flows toward the longitudinal side induction groove 130a.

And, the length side induction groove 130a is inclined downward as it moves toward the water outlet 120, and the vegetable scraps 102 flowing into the length side induction groove 130a thus flow toward the (Fig. a) and the arrow D2 direction shown in FIG. 2( b ), that is, the flow is induced in the width side induction groove 130b connected to the drain port 120 . At this time, the width-side induction groove 130b also slopes downward toward the water outlet 120, so that the vegetable scraps 102 flowing into the width-side induction groove 130b will flow in the direction of the arrow D3 (Fig. (a) and FIG. 2(c)) flow and reach the drain port 120. The water flowing through the width side induction groove 130 b is guided to the drain port 120 so as to enter the lower part of the drain cover 160 .

According to the above-mentioned structure, the water that flows when washing tableware etc. flows on the inclined surface 110, thereby the vegetable scraps 102 in the area near the inclined surface 110 naturally flow toward the induction groove 130, and are discharged to the drain port 120. guide. Therefore, when the washing operation of dishes and the like is completed, the removal of wild vegetable residues 102 is also completed. Thereby, the user does not need the conventional work of hugging the vegetable scraps 102 together, and high comfort can be obtained.

In addition, the vegetable scraps 102 are naturally moved to the drain port 120 by the water flow during the washing operation, thereby preventing the vegetable scraps from stagnating on the bottom surface (inclined surface 110 ) of the water tank 100 . In particular, since the inclined surface 110 is inclined flatly, water can flow over a wider area than conventional mortar-shaped inclinations, and stagnation of the vegetable scraps 102 can be further suppressed. Thereby, the adhesion of dirt to the bottom surface of the water tank 100 due to the stagnation of the vegetable scraps 102 can be prevented favorably, and a clean state can always be maintained. Therefore, the user can easily clean the water tank 100, and high cleanability can be obtained.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the drain port 120 is arranged closer to the side where the faucet is arranged, that is, the side where the mounting hole 152 is provided, in the left-right direction of the inclined surface 110 . Thereby, vegetable scraps 102 easily flow toward drain port 120 due to the flow of water from the faucet, and the above-mentioned effects can be further enhanced.

In addition, the drain port 120 may be disposed close to the side of the kitchen where the cooking space (not shown) is provided 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 water tank 100 , and the drain port 120 is arranged close to the left side of the water tank 100 . Thereby, the vegetable scraps 102 generated in the cooking space of the kitchen fall toward the drain port 120 side, so the vegetable scraps 102 are easily flowed by running water.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing another shape of the induction tank 130, and schematically illustrates the water tank 100 shown in FIG. 1(b). In the example shown in FIG. 4(a) and FIG. 4(b), the drain port (not shown) is arranged along the inner edge 112c which is the inner edge of the inclined surface, and is covered by 160 placed above. And, in Fig. 4 (a), in addition to including the length side induction groove 130a extending along the front edge portion 112a of the inclined surface 110 and the width side induction groove 130b extending along the side edge 112b, the induction groove 130 also includes The inner guiding groove 130c extends along the inner edge 112c of the inclined surface 110 and is connected to the drain port 120 . Thus, the vegetable scraps 102 (refer to FIG. 2( b )) on the inclined surface 110 flow through the length side induction groove 130a and the width side induction groove 130b to flow into the back side induction groove 130c, and are absorbed by the above-mentioned backside induction groove 130c. Lead to the drain port 120. Therefore, the same effect as the water tank 100 shown in FIG. 1 can be acquired.

In FIG. 4( b ), two length-side induction grooves 130 a and two width-side induction grooves 130 b are provided symmetrically in the left-right direction of the water tank 100 . With such a structure, the vegetable scraps 102 on the inclined surface 110 can be favorably guided to the drain port 120, and the same effect as above can be obtained. Moreover, in FIG. 4( a ) and FIG. 4( b ), the drain cover 160 has a rectangular shape. Thereby, the protrusion of the drain cover 160 to the bottom surface of the water tank 100, ie, the inclined surface 110 can be reduced, and the above-mentioned area can be used effectively.

As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described referring drawings, it goes without saying that this invention is not limited to the said example. It is a matter of course that those skilled in the art can conceive of various modified examples and corrected examples within the scope described in the claims, and it is obvious that they belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

【Industrial Applicability】
