DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(11) Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying figures. It should be appreciated that the preferred embodiments described herein are only for explanation and illustration, but not the limitation to the present invention.

(12) The present invention discloses an integrally assembled sink, which comprises a first frame 1 made of a first material and a second sink body 2 made of a second material, as shown in FIGS. 1-8. The second material is generally stainless steel, and the first material can be one or a combination selected from artificial stone, ceramic tile, natural stone, wood, bamboo, leather and plastic. The first frame 1 surrounds the second sink body 2 which is a container with a base and a top opening.

(13) After the assembly, an edge of the upper opening 15 of the first frame is aligned with the inside wall of the second sink body 24.

(14) A plurality of opposed pairs bumps are arranged horizontally on an inside wall of the first frame, and a plurality of pairs of fixation components are configured between the first frame 1 and the second sink body 2, wherein each pair of fixation components corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of opposed pairs of bumps; each pair of fixation component comprise two respective hooks 31 for hanging on each corresponding pair of bumps, and a support member 32 which is fixed to the corresponding hooks and for supporting the second sink body 2.

(15) Based on the above structural design, the integrally assembled sink according to the invention connects the first frame 1 with the second sink body as a whole by supporting the second sink body 2 with the fixation components 3, thus the whole sink can be placed on the countertop, which improves the convenience and efficiency for installing the sink on spot. The sink can be configured to protrude from the façade of the cabinet body, and this is convenient for the user to stand in front of the sink, as there is enough room for the feet under the sink, and the users do not need to bend, which is particularly suitable for the obese people or the pregnant women.

(16) The integral structure of the first frame 1 and the second sink body 2 enable the whole sink to be installed on the countertop, instead of being embedded inside the cabinet, which facilitates the installment and maintenance.

(17) In addition, first frame 1 bears less weight as the fixation components 3 are used to support the second sink body 2, thereby larger range of material of the first frame 1 can be applied, which makes the sink meet the requirement of the diverse design in different applications and fulfill the pursuit of modern people.

(18) The hooks 31 and the support member 32 are both made of steel.

(19) As a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-8, the first frame 1 is open at both ends, and an inward flange 13 is configured at the top of the first frame 1. The inward flange 13 has an inverted double-step structure, and a top 21 of the second sink body 2 abuts against the bottom surface of upper step 131 of the inward flange 13. Thus, when the second sink body 2 is fitted into the first frame 1, the edge of upper opening 15 of the first frame is aligned with the inside wall of the second sink body 24, then the whole inside wall of the sink is in an even plane.

(20) In the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-8, the second sink body 2 is configured with an outward flange 23 at the periphery of the sidewall adjacent to the top of the second sink body. The outward flange 23 does not bear weight directly, and it effectively prevents the second sink body 2 from deformation. When using, a binding agent can be applied on the outer edges of the four corners of the outward flange 23, thus the outward flange 23 can be adhered to the inside wall of the first frame 11.

(21) In the above embodiment, each bump 12 is located under the inward flange 13, and a groove 14 for holding the corresponding hook and outward flange 23 is provided between the respective bump 12 and the respective lower step of the double-step structure of the inward flange 13.

(22) Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1-8, each bump 12 has a horizontal top surface 121 and a vertical side surface 122.

(23) Each hook 31 is formed by a straight bar, both ends of which are bent at an angle of 90 degree. Each hook 31 comprises a vertical portion 311, a first bent portion 312 and a second bent portion 313, wherein the first bent portion 312 is at an angle of 90 degree to the vertical portion 311, and the second bent portion 313 is at an angle of 90 degree to the vertical portion 311.

(24) The first bent portion 312 of each hook 31 extends into the corresponding groove 14 and is fixed to the top surface 121 of the corresponding bump 12. The second bent portion 313 of each hook 31 is configured with a bolt hole 314.

(25) Each support member 32 is provided with connecting holes 321 at both ends respectively, through the connecting hole 321, each support member is detachably connected to the corresponding hooks 31 via bolt connecting components 33. Such a detachable configuration facilitates disassembly and assembly and transportation.

(26) The inside wall of the first frame 11 inclines outward from top to bottom so as to keep the second bent portion 313 away from the inside wall of the first frame 11. At the meantime, it facilitates the disassembly and assembly between each hook 31 and each support member 32.

(27) In order to better illustrate the invention, it will demonstrate how to assemble the integrally assembled sink below.

(28) Hang and fix each hook 31 to the corresponding bump 12, respectively;

(29) Fit the second sink body 2 into the first frame 1 through the bottom of the first frame 1, after a binding agent is applied on the outer edges of the four corners of the outward flange 23;

(30) Fix each support member 32 to the corresponding hooks 31 via bolt connecting components 33, thereby the second sink body 2 can be fixed within the first frame 1 to complete the assembly;

(31) Place the assembled sink at the installation position of a cupboard or a bathroom cabinet.

(32) Other contents about the integrally assembled sink according to the present invention may refer to the prior art and will not be repeated here.

(33) The present invention should not be limited to those embodiments described above, which are just preferable embodiments, and any amendments, equivalent changes and modifications to these embodiments, without departing from the spirit essence and principle of the present invention, are included in the scope of the present invention.
