Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a kitchen unit provided with a sink counter having a rectangular opening in plan view.

  Many kitchen unit counters have a cooking work space adjacent to the sink. In particular, in a kitchen counter in which a sink counter and a cooker counter are integrated, it is common that a work space is provided between the sink and the cooker in both the parallel arrangement and the L-shaped arrangement. Such a kitchen counter looks good and is easy to use in a kitchen with ample space.

  However, in recent years, with the change from a large family to a small family, the preference is changing from a large kitchen to a small but easy-to-use kitchen. Various kitchen counters that are compact and easy to work with have been proposed.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, the width size of the kitchen counter is shortened so that almost no space is provided between the sink and the cooking device. A space is formed on the front side.

In this type, the space in front of the cooker can be used as a space for placing cooking utensils such as a frying pan and a pan.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a kitchen unit which is an example of the present invention.

  The kitchen unit 20 is configured by adhering a kitchen counter A in which a sink counter 21 and a cooker counter 22 are integrally disposed close to a cabinet body B having a storage space. In addition, the sink counter 21 and the cooker counter 22 may be arranged in close proximity to those individually installed in the cabinet body. In the illustrated example, the sink counter 21 and the cooking device counter 22 are arranged side by side, but they may be arranged in an L shape.

  The kitchen counter A is integrally made of a resin such as artificial marble or a metal such as stainless steel, the sink counter 21 is provided with a rectangular sink (opening) 1 in plan view, and the cooker counter 22 has a plurality of heating cookers. 5 is installed. The kitchen counter may be formed by fitting a stainless steel sink 1 into an opening provided in advance in the counter.

The sink counter 21, a portion of the sink opening 1 (in the illustrated example the front) is provided such that the work table 3 which is adapted close to to be stretched support 2 of the left and right, the rear of the sink opening 1 taps A metal fitting 4 is attached.

  The heating cooker 5 is arranged in one row on the back side of the cooking device counter 22, a work space 6 is formed in front of the cooking device 5, and a lower ventilation device 7 is erected on the rear. This work space 6 can be used as a place for placing cooking utensils such as a frying pan or a pan, or as a work place for cooking dishes. Further, the under-pumping ventilation device 7 has a horizontally long suction port 7a, and the smoke and steam during cooking is sucked from the suction port 7a by suction means (not shown) built in the cabinet body B and downward. Pull out and discharge outdoors.

  As shown in the figure, the heating cooker 5 is installed by combining a two-port module and a one-port module, and in order to form a counter surface without a step when attached, a panel with an operation unit (not shown) is provided. It is desirable to use an electromagnetic induction heating (IH) type that is integrated and integrated. Other electric heating cookers and gas heating cookers may be used. The replacement installation of the module unit of the heating cooker 5 will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  Further, a weir 10 protruding upward from the counter surface is provided around the peripheral edge of the kitchen counter A. The weir 10 can prevent water from splashing from the inside of the kitchen counter A to the outside. When the heating cooker 5 is composed of the IH cooker 5a, the entire counter including the cooker counter 22 can be washed with water, and the weir 10 is particularly effective in such a case. In addition, the weir 10 has an inner upper end corner portion as a tapered surface for damage, deformation prevention, and water drainage.

  Further, the cabinet body B is provided with a kitchen knife storage space 31 and a cooking utensil storage space 32 below the sink counter 21, and a grill 33, a dishwasher 34, a drawer 35 and the like are provided below the cooker counter 22. Yes. As described above, various facilities and spaces are accommodated and arranged in the compact kitchen unit 20.

  Next, the work table 3 provided in the sync counter 21 will be described in detail.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of the kitchen unit 20, and (a) and (b) show examples of the arrangement state of the work table 3. 3A and 3B are schematic longitudinal sectional views taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, in which FIG. 3A corresponds to FIG. 1, and FIG. 3B shows another example.

  The work table 3 is made of resin or metal, is formed in a rectangular plate shape whose width size is slightly smaller than the width of the sink opening 1, and whose depth size is substantially the same as the depth of the adjacent work space 6, It is detachably mounted on support portions 2 and 2 formed at the left and right ends of the sink 1.

  The depth sizes of the work table 3 and the work space 6 are the workability of the sink 1 and the work table 3, and the work space 6 (for example, when the frying pan is placed on the heating cooker 5, the frying pan handle is the counter In consideration of workability and the like (in consideration of not protruding forward), it is preferably about 20 to 40 cm, and more preferably about 30 cm.

  The support portion 2 is formed on an inclined surface that descends toward the opening side, and this inclined surface also serves as a guide portion 2a for sliding the work table 3 in the depth direction. On the left and right ends of the back surface of the work table 3, there are formed slide surfaces 3a that are fitted relative to the inclined guide portions 2a. In this example, the guide portion 2a is formed on an inclined surface to provide water drainage, but other guide means may be used.

Since the work table 3 is slidable in the depth direction of the sink opening 1, when the work table 3 is moved forward, it can be used as a space for placing a cutting board to cut foods or to serve dishes. In the case where the support portion is formed in a step, the cutting board itself can be substituted for the work table.

  In addition, since the work table 3 is arranged away from the cooking device 5, it is difficult for heat and steam of cooking to be transmitted, and it is effective for the preparation of raw foods and the need for a long time. Moreover, when moved to the back, it can be used as a temporary storage place for draining the tableware after washing. In addition, it can be used for various purposes depending on the movement position.

  In particular, if the work table 3 is moved to the near side, a horizontally long coupled space along the width direction of the kitchen counter A can be formed together with the work space 6 of the adjacent cooker counter 22.

  Moreover, since a part of the sink counter 21 can be used as a work area by the work table 3, it is not necessary to widen the counter in the left-right direction in order to secure a new work space. The need for the space provided is eliminated, and the kitchen unit 20 can be made compact. Thereby, the moving distance in the kitchen work is shortened, and the flow line efficiency is improved.

  In addition, when all the heating cookers 5 are comprised by the IH cooker 5a, since the whole cooker counter 22 can be formed flat, when not using the IH cooker 5a, the heating cooker space and the work space 6 are used. Thus, the entire cooker counter 22 can be secured as a wide working space without a step. Therefore, when the cooking device 5 is not used, a horizontally long coupled space can be formed regardless of the movement position of the work table 3. Even when the IH cooker 5a is arranged on the front side, when the IH cooker 5a is not used, a work space 6 and a coupled space having the same size as those in FIG. 1 can be secured.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, a thin one having a table surface lower than the counter surface when the work table 3 is placed may be used. In this case, when water work is performed on the table 3, the moisture on the table 3 does not move to the counter surface, and the water drainage is very good.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view of the kitchen counter A showing a state before the heating cooker 5 is installed. FIGS. 5A to 5C are schematic plan views showing an example of arrangement of the underdraft ventilation device 7 and an example of replacement of the module unit 5A.

  The kitchen counter A is provided with mounting openings 8 for installing a plurality of heating cookers 5, and heating cooker module units 5 </ b> A as mounting units can be individually installed inside the mounting openings 8. Thus, a mounting bar 9 is provided (see FIG. 4).

  When three heating cookers 5 are installed as in the illustrated example, a two-port module unit 5A in which two heating cookers 5 are set, and a one-port module unit including one heating cooker 5 5A may be combined, or three 1-port module units 5A may be combined. Moreover, the electric heating cooker 5a and the gas heating cooker 5b can also be combined suitably (refer FIG. 5). Note that the gas cooking device 5b is desirably installed so as to be slightly higher than the counter surface in order to facilitate washing of the counter surface with water.

  As described above, the cooking device 5 can be re-installed for each module unit 5A, so that the electric cooking device 5a and the gas cooking device 5b Can be installed in combination as appropriate.

  Moreover, the underpumping ventilation device 7 can be installed in various positions in the vicinity of the heating cooker 5. For example, when used as a face-to-face kitchen unit, an undersized ventilator 7 of a width size that can secure the delivery space S for ease of use may be installed, or L connected to the side from the back. A character-shaped object may be installed (see FIGS. 5B and 5C).

  According to this under-pumping ventilation device 7, it is not necessary to attach a ventilation facility (range hood) to the upper side of the heating cooker 5. It can also be used for other purposes. In particular, if the kitchen unit 20 provided with the under ventilation device is applied to an island type that is placed in the living room, even if the kitchen unit 20 is placed in the center, it can be quickly ventilated without causing oily smoke or steam to drift into the room. The effect is extremely large.
