Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cooker unit equipped with two cookers.

Conventionally used cooking units generally have a range stand with a gas or electric stove mounted on the bottom of the unit body, and a ventilation hood attached above the stove. Heat, smoke, etc. generated when the stove is used is efficiently sucked into the ventilation hood and exhausted to the outside.

Recently, with the diversification of food preferences,
This is due to the tendency to use induction heating gas ovens, microwave ovens, oven microwave ovens, and steam oven microwave ovens, which are capable of a wide range of cooking. Although these ranges are cooking appliances used together with the stove, they are not structured to be stored in the cooking unit, so they are placed in a completely separate location. Therefore, they are both inconvenient to use. In addition, the ventilation hood can be large and reaches almost the ceiling, which makes ventilation efficient, but on the other hand, it is not possible to place other kitchen furniture, and the space is not used effectively.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide an elevating platform connected to an elevating mechanism in the upper part of the lower cooking device so that it can move up and down. Place the cooker on the
Since the lifting mechanism is shielded with a blind cover, two different types of cookers can be installed, expanding the cooking range, making cooking easier, and creating a cooker unit that does not spoil the aesthetics. This is what we are trying to provide.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a cooking unit that is arranged so that one side thereof is in close contact with a wall 2 of a kitchen room. In addition, a sink 3 is provided on the lower part and a hanging cabinet 4 is provided on the upper part of the side surface. The cooking unit 1 is comprised of a unit main body 5, an electric stove 6 as a lower cooking device, an oven/microwave oven 7, and a ventilation hood 8. The unit main body 5 is formed in an inverted L-shape in cross section, and its lower side is wider than its upper side.
Moreover, the depth dimension is becoming narrower. The electric stove 6 is placed on a cooktop 9, and its width is approximately the same as that of the unit main body 5, and its front end surface is set so that its depth is approximately equal to the upper front end surface of the unit main body 1. Set. The oven microwave oven 7 is placed on a lift table 10 having a substantially L-shaped cross section, and is movable in the vertical direction.
This elevating table 10 is connected to a rack and pinion electric drive mechanism 11, which is an elevating mechanism called a linear head, which is attached to a back plate 5a, and a spring-type weight balancer 12, which is called a balancer, is housed in a top bag 5b. It is suspended and slidably fitted along a guide rail (not shown). A blindfold cover 13 is provided at the upper end of the rear side of the lift table 10 and extends upward. Therefore, the blind cover 13 shields the rack and pinion type electric drive mechanism 11 located on the rear side from the front side regardless of the position of the lifting platform 10. The top bag 5b is provided with a hole 20 through which the blind cover 5b and the drive mechanism 11 are inserted. On the upper front side of the unit main body 5, there is a door plate 14 whose upper end is a fulcrum.
is rotatably supported, and the oven/microwave oven 7 is raised to a position facing the door plate 14. When it is at the lowest position, it is regulated at a position that is at a predetermined distance from the electric stove 6 and protrudes from the door plate 14. A safety switch (not shown) is attached to the door plate 14, and is configured to cut off power from the oven/microwave oven 7 unless the oven/microwave oven 7 is in an opposing position and the door plate 14 is not opened. The ventilation hood 8 is provided with a lower ventilation port 15 whose lower end surface is open, and a side ventilation port 16 consisting of a large number of elongated holes on the side surface on the oven/microwave oven 7 side.
Further, a mounting hole 17 is opened in a part of the wall 2 facing the ventilation hood 8, and a ventilation fan 18 is mounted therein.

When using the electric stove 6, a toggle switch (not shown) is turned upward to energize the rack and pinion electric drive mechanism 11, and the lifting platform 10 is turned on.
to rise. The oven microwave oven 7 is the door plate 14
When the lifting platform 10 rises to the part facing the
stops, and the electric stove 6 becomes energized.
When the microwave oven 7 is at the bottom, the electric stove 6 is wired to be in a non-energized state. Heat and smoke generated when the electric stove 6 is used are sucked in through the lower ventilation opening 15 and the side ventilation opening 16 of the ventilation hood 8 and are exhausted to the outside. When using the microwave oven 7, be sure to open the door plate 14 when it is located at the top. Alternatively, the toggle switch is moved downward to move the elevator platform 10 downward so that it protrudes from the door plate 14, and then the operation is performed. Heat and smoke released from this are sucked in through the side ventilation openings 16 and exhausted to the outside.
Also, at this time, the drive mechanism 11 is operated by the blind cover 13.
It is shielded and cannot be seen from the outside. Note that when the toggle switch is turned either upward or downward, the electric motor of the rack and pinion type electric drive mechanism 11 changes to the correct position.
When the rack rotates in either the opposite direction, the rack moves upward or downward, and as a result, the lifting platform 10 moves along the guide rail. Since the spring type weight balancer 12 is designed so that a constant moment can always be obtained by the force of the spring, the lifting platform 10 can be easily raised and lowered, and balance can be maintained no matter where it is placed.

In the above embodiment, an electric stove is used as the lower cooking device 6, and an oven microwave is used as the upper cooking device 7, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, a combination of a microwave oven and other cooking devices such as an induction heating device may be used. It's okay to be.

Alternatively, a blind cover 13a as shown in FIG. 5 may be used. This is a bellows-shaped expandable cover, and both ends thereof are fixed to the ceiling plate 5c and the upper cooking device 7. When the upper cooking device 7 is at the bottom, the blind cover 13a extends to shield the entire back side, and is automatically folded as the upper cooking device 7 rises.

Furthermore, a blindfold cover 1 as shown in FIG.
It may be 3b. This is made up of two rigid plates connected via a hinge, and when the upper cooking device 7 is at the bottom, it expands to shield the back side, and when it is at the top, it is folded. It's summery. The point is that the lifting mechanism 11 can be reliably shielded. (In Figures 5 and 6, parts of the same machine as those in the above embodiment are given the same numbers and their descriptions are omitted.) As explained above, according to the present invention, the lower cooking An elevating platform for placing the upper cooking device is provided above the dish, and a cover is provided to hide the elevating mechanism that drives the elevating platform regardless of the displacement of the elevating platform, so the two cookers can be used separately. This expands the cooking range, improves usability, and makes effective use of space.
Moreover, the lifting mechanism can be shielded no matter where the lifting platform is located, and the aesthetic appearance is not spoiled.
