TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of home decoration and sanitary equipment, and in particular, to a sink basin support structure.


BACKGROUND

At present, most sink basins used in kitchens and bathrooms include a countertop and a basin. A receiving tank that can accommodate the basin is provided in the countertop, and the bottom surface of the basin is directly adhered to the bottom of the receiving tank of the countertop. In order to increase the stability of the basin, an under-counter basin bracket is usually provided on the bottom of the basin. To accommodate basins of different sizes, under-counter basin brackets with adjustable sizes have been developed. However, the existing under-counter basin brackets with adjustable sizes have a limited adjustment range, which affects the compatibility of the sink basin brackets. In addition, the structure is complex and the support hardness is poor, which brings inconvenience to the installation of the sink basins.

The working principle of the present disclosure will be further explained below.


During the installation process, the installation positions of the brackets 200 are first determined based on the height of the sink basin and the height of the countertop, so that the support rods 100 can support the sink basin to be level with the upper surface of the countertop. Then, the fixing blocks of the brackets 200 at both sides are attached fixedly to the respective walls by means of the bolts inserted into the respective through holes 211. Since the through holes 221 are evenly distributed on the fixing blocks 220, it ensures that the fixing blocks 220 can be stably fixed on the walls, preventing the brackets 200 from loosening and rotating. Next, the movable rods 120 slide on both sides of the fixed rod 110 so that the length of each of the support rods 100 is equal to the distance between the brackets 200. The brackets 200 are inserted into the respective positioning grooves 211, and the buffer portions 122 on the movable rods 120 abut respectively against the walls. Then, the fixing bolts 130 are locked with the nuts by passing through the respective chutes 121 and the respective screw holes 111, and the movable rods 120 on both sides are fixed on the fixed rod 110. Next, the sink basin is placed on two parallel support rods 100, so that the support rods 100 support the sink basin stably. At this time, if the upper surface of the sink basin cannot fit the lower end of the countertop, the adjusting bolts 231 are rotated to drive the movable rods 120 to move up and down, so as to adjust the position of the sink basin in the vertical direction, ensuring that the upper surface of the sink basin can fit the lower end of the countertop precisely. The entire installation process is fast and the positioning is precise. The support rods 100 can adapt to countertops of different widths, and the brackets 200 can stably support the movable rods 120 to prevent the sink basin from loosening during installation and use and ensure the compatibility and ease of installation of the sink basin support structure.


It can be seen from the above description that in the sink basin support structure of the present disclosure, by providing the support rods 100 and the brackets 200, parallel support rods 100 can stably support the sink basin through the brackets 200, and both ends of the support rods 100 are fixed by means of the through holes 221, improving the stability of the sink basin support structure. By providing the fixed rods 110, the movable rods 120, and the fixing bolts 130, the length of the support rods 100 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different installation environments by changing the positions of the fixed rods 110 relative to the respective movable rods 120 and tightening the fixing bolts 130 for fixation, improving the compatibility of the sink basin support structure. By providing the support blocks 210 and the connecting blocks 230, the movable rods 120 can be stably fixed in the respective positioning grooves 211, and the height can be adjusted through the adjusting bolts 231, improving the installation convenience and stability of the sink basin support structure. By providing the buffer portions 122, both ends of the support rods 100 are prevented from causing damage to the wall during the installation process, and the support rods 100 are prevented from loosening to affect the stability of the sink basin, improving the installation stability of the sink basin support structure.
