  However, in the kitchen cabinet described in Patent Document 1, since the movable storage portion is taken in and out from the outer surface side of the kitchen cabinet, the installation location is the open side (passage side) of the kitchen cabinet outer surface that does not face the wall. However, it cannot be installed on the wall side, and cannot be installed in the kitchen where both sides of the kitchen cabinet face the wall. Even if the movable storage part is provided on the outer side of the kitchen cabinet on the open side (passage side) that does not face the wall, this open side is often used as a passage between the kitchen and the living room. There is a problem that gets in the way. In addition, work in the kitchen is often performed before the stove or sink, but if the movable storage part is attached to the outside surface of the kitchen cabinet, it must be separated from either the stove before or the sink. Therefore, you have to move one by one.

  In addition, the movable storage unit built in the waist wall described in Patent Document 2 has, for example, an island type kitchen in which both sides of the kitchen cabinet are open, when there is no waist wall on either side of the kitchen cabinet. When both sides of the kitchen cabinet are adjacent to a normal wall that is not a waist wall, there is a problem that it cannot be installed. In addition, since the mechanical part is incorporated in a part of the building frame, there is a problem that it takes time for construction. Further, since it is located on either side of the kitchen cabinet, it must be moved one by one because it is always away from either the stove front or the sink in the same manner as in the cited document 1.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and it is easy to put in and take out necessary items even when the kitchen work is performed before the stove or before the sink, and the wall of the kitchen is easily removed. An object of the present invention is to provide a kitchen cabinet having a movable storage portion with less restrictions on the installation position of the kitchen cabinet.

The present invention relates to the following.
(1) In a work cabinet provided with a sink and a stove, and a kitchen cabinet provided with a drawer under the work top, the sink is disposed in any one of the width directions of the kitchen cabinet, and the stove is disposed in the other. The kitchen cabinet which has a storage part which rotates to the front side upper direction of the said kitchen cabinet in the storage part space provided between the sink and the stove.
(2) In (1), the rotating storage unit includes a front plate, a shelf plate, a back plate, and fall prevention members provided on both sides in the width direction of the shelf plate, and rotates. An opening area formed in the storage portion from the upper end of the fall prevention member to the height of the upper end of the front plate is set larger than an opening area from the upper end of the back plate to the height of the upper end of the front plate. Kitchen cabinet.
(3) In (1) or (2), the rotating storage section is a kitchen cabinet that rotates while the shelf is maintained in a horizontal state.
(4) The kitchen cabinet according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein the shelf board and the fall prevention member are integrally formed, and the cross section viewed from the front is concave.
(5) In any one of (1) to (4), in the state in which a plurality of shelf boards are provided and the storage portion is rotated upward on the front side, the shelf board located at the uppermost position among the plurality of shelf boards. The kitchen cabinet has an upper surface equal to or higher than the worktop and provided with an opening through which the stored items can be taken in and out between the plurality of shelf boards.

  According to the present invention, it is easy to put in and take out what is necessary even when the kitchen work is performed before the stove or before the sink, and the movable storage portion with less restrictions on the installation position of the kitchen cabinet with respect to the kitchen wall is provided. Having kitchen cabinet can be provided.

  An example of the kitchen cabinet of this invention is shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a state in which the storage unit 3 is stored (stored state), and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the storage unit 3 rotated and opened (open state). FIG. 3 is a vertical side view of the storage unit 3 stored (stored state), and FIG. 4 is a vertical side view of the storage unit 3 rotated and opened (open state). FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the storage unit 3.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the basic configuration of the kitchen cabinet 1 of the present invention includes a work top 2 having a sink 12 and a stove 13, a drawer 14 and a hinged door (not shown) below, and the width of the kitchen cabinet. One in which the sink 12 is arranged in one of the directions and the stove 13 is arranged in the other is mentioned.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the storage unit space 15 between the sink 12 and the stove 13 has a storage unit 3 that rotates upward in the front side of the kitchen cabinet 1. A storage space 15 in which the storage 3 is provided is provided between the sink 12 and the stove 13 of the kitchen cabinet 1. As described above, the storage space 15 provided between the sink 12 and the stove 13 is a space for storing the storage 3 provided between the sink 12 and the stove 13 of the kitchen cabinet 1. Since the storage part 3 is arranged at a position close to both the sink 12 and the stove 13, the appliances and seasonings used in the sink 12 and cooking on the stove can be used from the storage part 3. Easy to put in and out.

  In addition, turning means different from linear movements such as the movement of the drawer 14 in the front-rear direction and the vertical movement of the movable storage portion of Patent Document 2, when viewed from the side of the kitchen cabinet 1. The movement that draws. The reason why the storage unit 3 is rotated to the upper front side of the kitchen cabinet 1 is that the storage unit 3 performs the circular motion as described above. Therefore, in the storage state as shown in FIGS. In the stage where the storage part 3 stored in the cabinet 1 moves to the open state as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, it passes through the front side of the kitchen cabinet 1 and is higher than in the storage state. Is to move on.

  Thus, the direction in which the storage portion 3 rotates when shifting from the storage state (FIGS. 1 and 3) to the open state (FIGS. 2 and 4) is the front upper side of the kitchen cabinet 1 and the width direction. Therefore, as can be seen from FIG. 2, even when one or both of the side surfaces of the kitchen cabinet 1 are installed facing the wall 18 of the kitchen, the storage portion 3 is moved upward to the front side of the kitchen cabinet 1. It can be used by rotating. In particular, even when one or both of the side surfaces of the kitchen cabinet 1 are installed so as to be closely adjacent to the wall 18 of the kitchen, the storage items 3 are provided on the front side of the storage unit 3 provided in the kitchen cabinet 1. As long as there are no obstacles that interfere with the rotation, the storage unit 3 can be rotated and used without any trouble. For this reason, there are few restrictions of arrangement | positioning of the kitchen cabinet 1 in a kitchen, and the freedom degree in the case of installation expands.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the kitchen cabinet 1 has a side surface facing a passage between the kitchen and a living room adjacent thereto, or a side surface facing a wall or a waist wall (not shown) between the kitchen cabinet 1. Even if the storage unit 3 is rotated to the upper front side of the kitchen cabinet 1, even if the storage unit 3 is rotated, the storage unit 3 does not protrude to the side of the passage. Moreover, it does not interfere with the wall between the passage and the waist wall. In addition, the side surface facing the passage between the kitchen and the living room adjacent thereto, and the side surface facing the wall and the waist wall between the passage and the side surface 17 facing the passage and the like are referred to. Thereby, even if it performs the operation | movement of rotation of the accommodating part 3, the going back and forth between the work space of the front side of the kitchen cabinet 1 and the channel | path side is not prevented, and the kitchen cabinet 1 which is easy to use can be provided. .

  As shown in FIG. 5, the rotating storage unit 3 includes a front plate 4, a shelf plate 5, a back plate 7, and fall prevention members 8 provided on both sides in the width direction of the shelf plate 5. The opening area A25 from the upper end of the fall prevention member 8 to the height of the upper end of the front plate 4 is formed in the rotating storage part 3 and the opening area from the upper end of the back plate 7 to the height of the upper end of the front plate 4 It is set larger than B26. Here, the opening area A25 is the area of the region from the upper end of the fall prevention member 8 to the height of the upper end of the front plate 4 on the side surface of the storage part 3, and the opening area B26 is the area of the storage part 3. On the back surface, the area of the region from the upper end of the back plate 7 to the height of the upper end of the front plate 4 is shown. Thereby, when taking in and out the stored item from the rotating storage unit 3, it is possible to make it easier to perform from the fall prevention member 8 side than from the front plate 4 side or the back plate 7 side. For this reason, when the storage part 3 which rotates is attached so that it may rotate to the front side upper direction of the kitchen cabinet 1 instead of the side surface 17 which faced the channel | path side of the kitchen cabinet 1 like the past (patent document 1). In this case, it is possible to easily put in and out the stored items from any direction of the sink 12 and the stove 13 located on both sides in the width direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the rotating storage unit 3 rotates the shelf 5 while maintaining the horizontal state. In this way, the shelf plate 5 can be rotated with the horizontal state maintained, for example, by the following configuration. That is, the storage part 3 and either one of the side surfaces 16 and 17 of the kitchen cabinet 1 are connected by two arms a9 and b10 having the same length. The two arms a9 and b10 are connected to the storage portion 3 by fulcrums a19 and b20 fixed to either one of the side surfaces 16 and 17 of the kitchen cabinet 1 and fulcrums c21 and d22 fixed to the storage portion 3. And either one of the side surfaces 16 and 17 of the kitchen cabinet 1 are rotatably connected. The straight line connecting the fulcrums a19 to c21 and the straight line connecting b20 to d22 are set to be parallel and the same length. Thereby, since the storage part 3 rotates each front fulcrum a19, b20, c21, d22 as a rotating shaft and the shelf board 5 maintains a horizontal state, the front side of the kitchen cabinet 1 is rotated, the storage part 3 is Even when the shelf board 5 is rotated, the shelf board 5 always maintains a horizontal state, so that it is possible to suppress a stored item (not shown) placed on the shelf board 5 from falling or rolling. The configurations shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are merely examples, and any configuration is possible as long as the shelf plate 5 can be rotated while maintaining the horizontal state, and the configuration is not limited to the above configuration.

  Further, in order to hold the rotational movement of the storage unit 3 in the storage state (FIGS. 1 and 3) and the open state (FIGS. 2 and 4), the arms a9 and b10 are temporarily moved at the appropriately rotated positions. It is desirable to provide a lock mechanism (not shown) that can be fixed to the head. Moreover, in order to buffer the impact at the time of starting and stopping the rotation, or to adjust the speed of the rotation, the arms a9 and b10 and the side surfaces 16 and 17 of the kitchen cabinet 1 to which these arms are connected are appropriately selected. It is desirable to provide a damper 23 between them or a rotary damper (not shown) or the like at the fulcrum. Further, in order to assist in rotating the storage unit 3, a coil spring is appropriately provided between the arms a9 and b10 and either one of the side surfaces 16 and 17 of the kitchen cabinet 1 to which these arms are connected. It is desirable that 24 or the like be provided so that the elastic force can be used when the storage unit 3 is rotated to the upper front side of the kitchen cabinet 1.

  The front plate 4 covers the storage unit 3 so as not to be exposed to the front side of the kitchen cabinet 1, and is in a plate shape, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, in a state in which the storage unit 3 is stored (stored state). Then, it is desirable to cover the entire storage unit 3 and align it with the same surface as the front plate such as the adjacent drawer 14. Thereby, in the storage state (FIG. 1, FIG. 3), it can be set as the external appearance similar to the conventional kitchen cabinet which does not have the conventional storage part 3. FIG. Even in the open state (FIGS. 2 and 4), the stored items (not shown) are difficult to see directly from the front side of the kitchen cabinet 1, so that the appearance is good.

  The back plate 7 is a member that covers the back surface of the storage unit 3, and suppresses a stored item (not shown) from falling or falling behind the storage unit 3. For this reason, it is desirable to have a plate shape, a stored item (not shown), a height of one third or more, and a width equivalent to the shelf plate 5. Further, when a plurality of shelf boards 5 are provided in the vertical direction, it is desirable that they are provided across the plurality of shelf boards 5. Thereby, even if a stored item (not shown) is stored in any shelf plate 5 among the plurality of shelf plates 5, it is possible to prevent the storage unit 3 from falling over or falling. .

  The shelf board 5 is used for placing and storing a storage item (not shown) in the storage unit 3, and the width is preferably about 150 mm to 900 mm, and more preferably about 450 to 600 mm. If the width is narrower than this, it is conceivable that the stored item cannot be stored or that a sufficient storage amount cannot be secured. Moreover, although taking in / out from the storage part 3 will be performed from the side surface side of the shelf board 5, when it is wider than this, it will interfere with the taking in / out of the stored item from the shelf board side surface.

  The fall prevention member 8 is configured such that a stored item (not shown) placed on the shelf plate 5 of the storage unit 3 falls to the side surface of the shelf plate 5 due to an impact or the like when the storage unit 3 is rotated. It is a member for suppressing falling from the side. And it is provided so that the upper end of the fall prevention member 8 may be located above the upper surface of the shelf board 5 above the side surface of the shelf board 5. The height of the upper end of the fall prevention unit 8 from the top surface of the shelf board 5 is desirably about 20 mm to 50 mm. If it is lower than this, the effect of preventing the fall is small, and if it is higher than this, it will hinder the loading and unloading of stored items (not shown). Thereby, it can suppress that a stored item (not shown) falls to the side surface side of the shelf board 5 or falls from the side surface side, and the stored item (from the upper side of the fall prevention member 8 ( Ease of taking in and out can be ensured. 2 to 5, the distance between the lower surface of the shelf plate 5 positioned above and the upper end of the fall prevention agent 8 of the shelf plate positioned immediately below is desirably about 150 mm to 600 mm. Thereby, between the several shelf boards 5, the opening 27 is formed in the side surface direction of the kitchen cabinet 1, and the taking in / out of the stored item from this opening 27 becomes easy.

  It is desirable that the shelf board 5 and the fall prevention member 8 are integrally formed and the cross section viewed from the front of the kitchen cabinet 1 is concave. As a result, even if powdered or liquid spills from the stored items (not shown) on the shelf board 5 can be prevented from spilling from the shelf board 5, the storage section of the kitchen cabinet 1. The cleanliness in the space 15 can be maintained, and the shelf plate 5 of the storage unit 3 can be easily cleaned. For this reason, the kitchen cabinet 1 which is clean and easy to clean and is easy to use can be provided.
