Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] 【Technical field】

The present invention relates to a cabinet with a wagon that allows a wagon to be stored in and out of the cabinet.

[Background technology]

Conventionally, a cabinet with a wagon is known, which allows rice cookers and other items to be stored inside the cabinet while being loaded on the wagon.However, with conventional products, if you cook rice in the cabinet with the rice cooker loaded on the wagon, steam will be generated. There was a problem that the inside of the cabinet got wet with condensed steam because there was no outlet.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed in view of the technical background described above, and its purpose is to effectively exhaust the steam inside the cabinet by natural convection without using a fan. The goal is to

[Disclosure of invention]

The cabinet with a wagon of the present invention has a storage chamber 3 for storing a wagon 2 in and out of the cabinet 1, and a steam exhaust path 6 for discharging steam in the storage chamber 3 to the outside. A first communication hole 7 opening toward the storage chamber 3 is provided at the rear lower surface of the steam exhaust passage 6, and the front end of the steam exhaust passage 6 is connected to an exhaust port 16 on the front surface of the cabinet 1. A ventilation passage 20 is formed behind the storage chamber 3 to create a vertical air flow, and the upper end of the ventilation passage 20 is connected to a second communication hole 8 opened at the rear end surface of the steam exhaust passage 6. It is characterized by being connected to. Therefore, even if steam is generated from the rice cooker placed on the wagon 2 housed in the cabinet 1, the steam passes through the first communication hole 7 and passes through the steam exhaust passage 6 to the front surface of the cabinet 1. The air is discharged from the exhaust port 16 to the outside, and the air heated and rising in the ventilation passage 20 is directed forward into the steam exhaust passage 6 by flowing into the steam exhaust passage 6 from the second communication hole 8. This air flow can force the flow of steam in the horizontal direction, and the steam entering from the first communication hole 7 can be directed to the ceiling surface of the steam exhaust passage 6. This prevents condensation from adhering to the air, and allows the air to be efficiently exhausted from the exhaust port 16 on the front, allowing efficient exhaust through natural convection without using a fan. Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The cabinet 1 has a cabinet body 1b mounted on an architrave 1a, and has a box shape with an open front and bottom surface.
A door 12 that can be opened and closed to the right or left is provided at the front opening of the architrave 1a, and the front surface of the architrave 1a can be closed by an end plate 13. As shown in FIG. 2, the wagon 2 is housed in a storage chamber 3 of a cabinet 1, and when pulled out from the cabinet 1, it can be moved by casters 14 on the underside. A handle portion 15 for pushing and pulling the wagon 2 stands up at the rear of the wagon 2.
In front of it, a shelf board 4 is provided on which an electric rice cooker 9, a heat-retaining pot, and other items can be placed. Further, between the upper surface of the shelf board 4 of the wagon 2 stored in the cabinet 1 and the ceiling of the storage room 3, the wagon 2 can be stored with the electric rice cooker 9 etc. placed on the shelf board 4. A space 5 is formed. The planar structure of this shelf board 4 is shown in FIG. A cord reel 11 for connecting a plug 10 of an electric rice cooker 9 is fixed to the rear end of the shelf board 4.
In addition, a set of three fitting holes 17 are bored on the top surface of the shelf board 4 so as to be located on the virtual circumference, and these fitting holes 17 are made of synthetic resin, rubber, etc. By fitting the legs 19 of the arc-shaped positioning projection 18, the positioning projection 18 can be attached to the shelf board 4 as required.
Therefore, by placing the electric rice cooker 9 or the like in the area within the virtual circumference surrounded by the plurality of positioning protrusions 18, it is possible to prevent the electric rice cooker 9 or the like from slipping off the shelf board 4. There is. Moreover, the positioning protrusion 18 can be easily removed if it becomes a hindrance. Further, a steam exhaust passage 6 is formed in the upper part of the storage chamber 3 in the front-rear direction. The front end of the steam exhaust passage 6 is connected to an exhaust port 16 provided on the front surface of the cabinet 1, and the lower surface of the rear end of the steam exhaust passage 6 has a first communication hole 7 that communicates with the inside of the storage chamber 3. It is opened. On the other hand, a ventilation passage 20 through which air can rise is formed at the back of the storage chamber 3, and a second communication hole 8 opened at the rear end surface of the steam exhaust passage 6 is communicated with the upper end of the ventilation passage 20. It is being
Air entering the architrave 1a from the through hole 21 of the end plate 13 flows into the ventilation passage 20 through the cord passage hole 22 on the lower surface.
However, when rice is cooked with the rice cooker 9 placed on the shelf board 4 of the wagon 2 stored in the storage chamber 3 of the cabinet 1, steam is generated from the rice cooker 9, but this steam is The steam is discharged through the continuous hole 7 into the steam exhaust passage 6 . On the other hand, the air inside the air passage 20 warmed by the heat of the rice cooker 9 rises through the air passage 20,
The steam enters the steam exhaust path 6 through the second communication hole 8, becomes a horizontal flow within the steam exhaust path 6, and then flows through the exhaust port 16.
is discharged from. Therefore, the steam that enters the steam exhaust passage 6 from the second communication hole 8 does not collide with the ceiling surface in the steam exhaust passage 6 and adhere to it, but is reliably routed outside from the exhaust port 16 by riding on the air flow. It is discharged. Note that the cord reel 11 is located inside the ventilation path 20.
An electrical outlet 23 for connecting the electrical outlet 23 is fixed, and an electric cord 24 connecting the electrical outlet 23 and an external commercial power source is led out through a cord passage hole 22.

[Effect of the idea]

The present invention is constructed as described above, and even when steam is generated in the cabinet using a rice cooker, etc., the steam passes through the first communication hole, passes through the steam exhaust path, and is discharged to the outside from the front exhaust port. Moreover, by allowing the air that is warmed and rising in the ventilation passage to flow into the steam exhaust passage from the second communication hole, a horizontal flow can be generated forward in the steam exhaust passage. The airflow causes the steam flow to change its direction laterally, preventing the steam that entered from the first communication hole from adhering to the ceiling of the steam exhaust path and condensing, and efficiently discharging the steam from the front exhaust port. It has the advantage that it can be efficiently evacuated by natural convection without using a fan.
