Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sink for a sink installed in a home system kitchen or the like, and to a multi-stage sink having different depths in one sink.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A system kitchen installed in a kitchen is
A sink unit equipped with a sink and a faucet for supplying hot and cold water, a cooking table unit having a drawer on the front surface and a cooking space on the upper surface, and a gas stove unit having a gas crater, and these units are composed of these units. Each function is appropriately selected and assembled in a linear shape or an L-shape to make each function easy to use. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a cooking stove unit 34 is placed next to the sink unit 31, and a gas stove unit 36 is arranged next thereto, and washing and preparation are performed using the sink unit 31 and the cooking unit 34. It is supposed to do.

The sink unit 31 is provided with a water heater (not shown) or a mixing tap 38 for adjusting the temperature of hot water and water to a desired temperature and a sink 32 and the like on the upper surface.
In addition to washing dishes and the like inside, the water is collected in the sink 32 and used for immersion washing of vegetables and the like.

[0004]

However, the sink 32 of the sink unit 31 is used when washing relatively large items such as vegetables and pots when washing the water in the sink 32 and rinsing it easily. The deeper the depth of the sink, the better the water splash can be prevented and the vegetables can be sufficiently attached to the water. However, when washing small dishes such as tea bowls, the depth of the sink 32 should be small. However, it is considered preferable because an easy posture can be taken without bending the waist deeply.

A sink having a sink portion with a shallow depth on the side of the sink has been proposed, but the depth of this portion is several cm, and is used only for draining after washing with water. Water could not be stored here and used for washing or the like.

[0006]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a sink of a sink is constituted as follows. That is, portions having different depths are formed in one sink, and at least two types of depths are provided. As a result, it is possible to use different parts of different depths according to the work, work suitable for work with a deep sink in deep parts, and work suitable for work with a shallow sink in shallow parts It is possible to improve the ease of use of the sink by using portions having respective depths suitable for the type of work.

More specifically, the sink depth of the sink unit is made different in the left-right direction, one deep and the other shallower. For example, a deep portion is formed on the right side, and a shallow portion is formed on the left side.
150 cm, and about 200 to 400 cm in a deep part. The left and right arrangements may be reversed, and the depth is not limited to these numerical values.

[0008] Further, a drain port is provided at the bottom of each part so that it can be drained individually. Thereby, water can be appropriately stored, and for example, water can be stored only in a deep portion by closing a drain port in a deep portion.

The bottom of the shallow portion is slightly inclined toward the deep portion. As a result, water can flow down from a shallow portion to a deep portion, and draining in a shallow portion becomes easy. Further, a rib rising from the bottom may be provided horizontally in a shallow portion. If such a rib is formed at the bottom, tableware can be easily placed on a shallow portion, and water that has fallen from the tableware can flow to a drain port under the rib. In addition, the ribs may be formed with irregularities. Further, a deep plate may be provided with a detachable bottom plate having a depth equal to the depth of the shallow portion. If this bottom plate is attached to a deep part, the whole can be widely used as one sink having the same depth as the shallow part.

[0010] The depth is not limited to two types of depth, but may be three types or more. Also, the order of the depths may not be arranged from the shallower to the deeper, but the central part may be shallower or deeper.

The step between the shallow part and the deep part is not limited to vertical, but may be inclined or arcuate, and the deep part may go under the shallow part. In addition, the areas of the shallow portion and the deep portion may not be equal, and their boundaries may be formed not obliquely but at right angles to the sink unit, or may be formed in a curved shape.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of a multistage sink according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 7 shows the entire system kitchen 30 described in the conventional description. The sink of the present invention is different from the sink shown in FIG. 7, but will be described as an explanation of the system kitchen. As shown in FIG. 7, the system kitchen 30 has a sink unit 1 (31), a cooking unit 34, and a gas stove unit 36 arranged in an L shape from the left side, and a hood of a ventilation fan (not shown) above the gas stove unit 36. Is attached.

The upper surface of the cooking unit 34 is formed flat so that cooking can be performed, and a plurality of drawers 44 are provided on the front surface. Further, the gas stove unit 36 has a gas stove 46 incorporated in an upper portion thereof, and the gas stove 46 is formed slightly lower than the height of the sink unit 1 and the cooking unit 34.

FIG. 2 shows the sink unit 1. The sink unit 1 is provided with a sink 2 and a mixing faucet 4 at an upper portion thereof. The mixing faucet 4 is a faucet that can mix and discharge water and hot water at an arbitrary ratio. The sink 2 is made of stainless steel or the like.
5 cm, and the right deep part 5 is about 30 cm.

FIG. 2 shows the sink 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the shallow portion 3 is provided with a rib 6 having a top surface horizontal.
The bottom 8 under the rib 6 is slightly inclined toward the deep part 5. The shallow portion 3 and the deep portion 5 are provided with drain ports 9 and 10 having detachable plugs 12 respectively.

Next, a method of using the sink unit 1 will be described. For example, when washing relatively large items such as vegetables and pots, the washing is performed in the deep portion 5 of the sink 2. At this time,
As shown in FIG. 3, the plug 12 is plugged into the drain port 10 of the deep part 5, and water is collected in the deep part 5. By doing so, the vegetables and the whole pot can be put in the sink 2, and water does not splash outside the sink 2 during washing.

If water is collected in the deep portion 5 of the sink 2 as shown in FIG. 3, the water washed on the side of the deep portion 5 can be raised to the shallow portion 3 to drain the water.

Next, when washing dishes, washing is performed in a shallow part of the sink 2. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, plugs 12 are inserted into the drain holes 9 and 10 of the shallow portion 3 and the deep portion 5, respectively.
In this way, the water can be accumulated, so that the work is performed at a high position in the shallow portion 3, and the dish can be washed without bending down.

Also, when a relatively large object such as a vegetable is immersed in water or washed while soaking in water, the operation is performed in a state where water is stored in a deep portion 5 as shown in FIG. If you do this,
Even large vegetables can be immersed in the water stored in the sink 2, and can be easily immersed and washed without splashing.

When a large amount of dishes are to be washed, a bottom plate 14 as shown in FIG. 6 is attached to the deep portion 5 (see FIG. 5). The bottom plate 14 has hook portions 15 on both left and right sides, and a bottom surface 16 is provided with a number of holes 17 for draining water. Bottom plate 1
If the hanging portion 15 of 4 is hung on the upper edge of the deep portion 5 and the bottom plate 14 is installed on the deep portion 5, the portion of the deep portion 5 can be made the same depth as the shallow portion 3 and the shallow portion 3 and the deep portion 5 If both parts are filled with water, the sink 2 can be used as one wide sink having the same depth as the shallow part 3.

[0021]

According to the sink of the present invention, since the depth of the sink is made different from at least two types, that is, a shallow part and a deep part, work suitable for each depth can be performed in each part. The sink can be used efficiently.
