Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] A range hood unit that encloses a kitchen range and a range hood provided above it in a U-shape so that the inner wall can be easily cleaned. , A function as a storage part is added to the sleeve wall part for effective use. [Structure] A range hood, a lower wall that surrounds the range hood and the range in a substantially U-shape, and both sleeve walls. The lower wall is formed in an arcuate curved surface that projects rearward from the left and right to the central portion. A side cabinet having a storage portion is formed on at least one of the sleeve walls.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a kitchen range hood unit.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Above the kitchen range, a range hood is usually attached to collect smoke and steam generated during cooking, and discharge the smoke and steam outside with a ventilation fan. The area around this range hood is particularly difficult to clean due to severe oil stains, and there is a stainless steel plate attached to the bottom wall of the range hood in order to make cleaning easier. However, if there is no enclosure on the left and right sides of the lower wall, smoke will escape and stain the side walls of the kitchen. If the side walls are tiled, the joints will be extremely dirty and cleaning will be difficult.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As a countermeasure, for example, a space between the range hood a and the range b is enclosed in a U shape as shown in Fig. 3, and this type has an excellent smoke collecting effect, but a sleeve wall. There is a drawback that it is difficult to clean the inside corner e of the corner between c and the rear wall d. Also, the sleeve wall only functions as an enclosure, and has no other functions.

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate such conventional defects, and is a type in which the space between the range hood and the range is enclosed in a U shape, and the inner wall thereof can be easily cleaned. It is an object of the present invention to provide a range hood unit that makes effective use of the sleeve wall part while making it possible.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a means for technically solving this problem, the present invention comprises a range hood, a lower wall that surrounds the range hood and the range in a substantially U shape, and both sleeve walls, and the lower wall comprises The gist of the invention is to form a side cabinet having an accommodating portion on at least one of the two sleeve walls, while forming a curved surface having an arc shape protruding rearward from the left and right to the central portion.

[0006]

[Work]

 Since the inner wall of the U-shaped enclosure is formed to have an arcuate curved surface, there is no corner at the corner, which makes cleaning very easy. Further, since the side cabinet having the storage portion is provided on one side or both sides of the sleeve wall, it is possible to effectively use not only the function of the enclosure but also the function of the storage portion.

[0007]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a kitchen counter having a range 2 at the left end and a range hood unit 3 surrounding the range 2 in a U-shape.

The range hood unit 3 is composed of a range hood 31, a lower wall 32 provided below the range hood, and sleeve walls 33 and 34. The lower wall 32 extends from the left and right sides to the central portion. The side walls 35 and 36 each having a drawer serving as a storage portion are provided in the sleeve walls 33 and 34, respectively, which are formed in an arcuate curved surface protruding rearward. A switch 37 for a ventilation fan (not shown) incorporated in the range hood 31 is attached to the lower portion of the sleeve wall 34.

The range hood unit 3 according to the present invention is configured as described above, and the smoke and steam generated in the range 2 during cooking immediately flow into the range hood 31 and are discharged from the ventilation fan to the outside. .. At this time, since the range 2 is surrounded by the lower wall 32 of the range hood unit 3 and the sleeve walls 33 and 34 in a U-shape, smoke and steam should be emitted as compared with the case without the sleeve walls 33 and 34. It is possible to reliably guide the range hood 31 toward the range hood without letting it escape to the side.

Although the lower wall 32 is heavily soiled with oil or the like, since it is formed into an arcuate curved surface as described above, there are no corners at all, which may make cleaning easier. It can be cleaned cleanly.

Since the side cabinets 35 and 36 are provided on both sleeves 33 and 34 of the range hood unit 3, small items used for cooking, such as chopsticks, spatulas, metal skewers, aluminum wheels and paper towels, etc. It is convenient because you can store gas hole cleaners, detergents, brushes, etc. to be used after cooking and you can take out what you need immediately.

In this case, since the switch 37 of the range hood ventilation fan is attached to the lower portion of the sleeve wall 34, it is easier to operate than the conventional switch having the switch on the upper side (S in FIG. 3). , Reachable for short housewives.

Although the side cabinets are provided on both sleeves in the above embodiment, the side cabinets may be provided on only one of the sleeves, that is, only one side, and the storage section is not limited to the drawer. Alternatively, other appropriate means such as an open door method may be used.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the kitchen range is enclosed in a U shape and the lower wall of the range hood is formed into an arcuate curved surface, the corners are completely eliminated. It is easy to clean, and at least one of the sleeve walls is equipped with a cabinet that has a storage part, so small items can be stored, which greatly improves usability.
