BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention applied to a kitchen system.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a side view of a retractable storage device set according to a first embodiment of the present invention in a stored state, FIG. 2 is a side view of the storage device set in a drawn-out state, and FIG. Side view of a system kitchen using a set,
FIG. 4 is a front view of the system kitchen.

In FIG. 1, a storage rack 2 is supported by a cabinet 1 by a lifting support mechanism so as to be able to move up and down. The lifting support mechanism is composed of two rotating arms 3 and 4 forming parallel links, and is pivotally supported on the cabinet 1 side by pivots 6 and 7 and pivotally supported by the storage rack 2 by pivots 8 and 9. . The cabinet 1 has a configuration in which the front is open, and an openable door body 10 is provided in the open portion. In addition, the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 has a flat shape from the front to the rear, and a handle portion 12 for operating the storage rack 2 is provided on the storage rack 2.

The rotating arms 3 and 4 are provided on both sides of the storage rack 2, and left and right connecting means 13 for synchronizing the operation of the left and right rotating arms are provided near the pivot 6. A substantially U-shaped connecting bar 14 for connecting the left and right side plates of the rack 2 is provided.

In this example, the cabinet 1 is assumed to be a standard kitchen wall cabinet and has an outer dimension of 3 mm in depth.
The height is set to 50 mm and the height is set to 700 mm. The stopper 26 controls the distance from the lower surface 15 of the cabinet 1 to the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 to be about 450 mm at the maximum lowering position of the storage rack 2. Further, the top surface 16 of the cabinet 1 is installed at a position 2300 mm from the floor surface 17, and the distance from the floor surface 17 to the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 is 1100 to 12 at the maximum descent position of the storage rack 2.
00 mm. The height A of the storage rack 2 is about 60.
Since it is 0 mm, the distance from the floor surface 17 to the uppermost portion 18 of the storage rack 2 is 1700 to 1800 mm.

The system kitchen shown in FIG. 3 and FIG.
The stationary cabinet 19 is installed below the vertically movable storage device having the above-described configuration.
Is a general counter cabinet such as a kitchen counter, and the height of the top surface 20 is 850 mm from the floor surface 16 and the depth is 600 mm.

At the maximum lowering position of the storage rack 2, the distance F from the back surface 27 of the cabinet 1 to the back surface 28 of the storage rack 2 is 500 to 700 mm, and the storage unit 5 formed of a shelf is provided below the storage device. Is installed.

The rotary arms 3 and 4 have a bent shape, the front rotary arm 3 has a substantially U-shape, and the rear rotary arm 4 has a substantially S-shape.
And 4 are installed in the same plane.

The pivots 6, 7 of the rotating arms 3, 4 are mounted on a bearing unit 21, and this bearing unit 21 is fixed to the inner surface of the cabinet 1. This bearing unit 2
An elastic body 22 such as a spring acting on the movement of the storage rack 2 and a shock absorber 23 such as a damper are installed inside the storage rack 1 (only shown in FIG. 1).

Next, the operation and function will be described. When the storage rack 2 is operated by holding the handle portion 12, the storage rack 2 is moved up and down by the rotation of the rotary arms 3 and 4.
Since the rotating arms 3 and 4 form a parallelogram, the storage rack 2 can be moved up and down while keeping the horizontal. When the cabinet 1 is installed at a high place such as a kitchen, the storage rack 2 can be pulled down and used, and articles can be taken in and out at hand without using a step platform or the like. At this time, the movements of the left and right rotating arms 3 and 4 are synchronized by the left and right connecting means 13, so that the storage rack 2 can be moved stably without the left and right rotating arms 3 and 4 being twisted.

Further, the connecting bar 14 improves the strength of the storage rack 2, prevents the storage rack 2 from tilting or twisting, and stabilizes the lifting operation. Further, the connection bar 14 indicates the height limit position of the storage items that can be stored in the storage rack 2 and prevents the storage items from being stored at a height higher than the storage height.

If the distance B from the lower surface 15 of the cabinet 1 to the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 at the maximum descent position of the storage rack 2 is 400 mm, about 90% of the adult females will be at the top of the storage rack 2 Up to 18 items can be loaded and unloaded. The height A of the storage rack 2 is about 60
When the cabinet is installed at a position of 2300 mm in height as shown in FIG. 3, the distance C from the floor surface to the top 18 of the storage rack 2 when the storage rack 2 is lowered is shown in FIG.
Is about 1800 mm. The height that can be taken in and out is approximately up to the height of the thumb with both arms raised, and can be the height up to the finger joint. Therefore, from the height to the fingertip (the height of the upper limb raising finger tip) to the length of the fingertip (third finger length)
In adult women (excluding the elderly), the 10th percentiles of the upper limb lifting finger tip height and the third finger length are about 1870 mm and about 70 mm.
The height that can be taken in and out is 1800 mm. That is, if the distance from the lower surface 15 of the cabinet 1 to the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 is 400 mm or more, the height of the uppermost portion 18 of the storage rack 2 will be about 1800 mm or less. The storage volume can be used effectively.

Preferably, the distance B from the lower surface 15 of the cabinet 1 to the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 is 450
It is desirable that it is not less than mm. Assuming that the distance B is 450 mm, as shown in FIG. 3, the height from the floor surface 17 to the shelf 24 above the storage rack 2 is about 1400 mm, and the height from the floor 17 to the top 18 of the storage rack 2 drops to about 1750 mm. I do. Since the 10th percentile value of the eye height of an adult woman (excluding an elderly person) is 1410 mm, the inside of the upper shelf 24 can be easily confirmed. 5 and 6, the distance B from the lower surface 15 of the cabinet 1 to the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 is about 260 mm, and the upper shelf 24 is higher than the line-of-sight level. The top 18 of the rack is inaccessible.

Therefore, at the maximum lowering position of the storage rack 2, the storage rack 2
The distance B to the bottom surface 11 is 400 mm or more, preferably 4 mm.
By setting the length to 50 mm or more, it is possible to provide a convenient storage device in which the inside of the storage rack 2 can be sufficiently confirmed and the uppermost portion 18 of the storage rack 2 can be reached.

When the distance B from the lower surface 15 of the cabinet 1 to the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 is 450 mm, a counter 20 is provided below the storage device, and a rice cooker, a beer bottle or the like is provided on the top surface 21 thereof. Even when the installation objects 25 are placed, the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 does not collide with the installation objects 25. As shown in FIG. 3, in the case of a stationary cabinet 19 having a height of 850 mm, which is generally the height of a kitchen counter or the like, at the maximum lowering position of the storage rack 2, from the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 to the top surface 20 of the stationary cabinet 19. Is about 300 mm. Assuming a kitchen space, an electric rice cooker, except for fixed type devices such as a microwave oven and a dishwasher / dryer, is about 2 in the stationary cabinet 19.
80 mm or less, pots are usually 200 mm or less, beer bottles are 300 mm or less, containers for other seasonings are also 200 mm or less, and most of them are 300 mm or less. For this reason,
From the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 to the stationary cabinet 19
If the distance D to the top surface 20 is about 300 mm or more, collision with these installation objects 25 can be prevented.

The height of the stationary cabinet 19 is 80
Generally, the distance from the lower surface 15 of the cabinet 1 to the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 is 500 mm or less in order to secure a space of 300 mm when the stationary cabinet 19 having a height of 800 mm is provided. There is a need. Therefore, when the distance from the lower surface 15 of the cabinet 1 to the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 is 400 to 500 mm, the inside of the storage rack 2 can be sufficiently confirmed,
In addition, it is possible to provide an easy-to-use elevating storage device capable of taking in and out of stored items up to the uppermost portion 18 of the storage rack 2 and a system kitchen using the same. Further, when the stationary cabinet 19 is provided below the storage device, the storage rack 2 can be moved up and down without colliding with the installation object 25 placed on the counter.

As shown in FIG. 3, in a system kitchen provided with a vertically movable storage device and a stationary cabinet 19 below it, the space between the vertically movable storage rack 2 and the upper surface of the stationary cabinet 19 and the lower part of the counter portion 19 are provided. Can be used effectively.

Further, at the maximum lowering position of the storage rack 2, a distance E from the floor surface 17 to the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2.
Is set to 1100 to 1200 mm, the same effect as above can be obtained.

As described above, when the distance C from the floor surface 17 to the uppermost portion 18 of the storage rack 2 at the maximum lowering position of the storage rack 2 is about 1800 mm or less,
The storage volume of the storage rack 2 can be used effectively. Further, the stationary cabinet 19 is provided below the storage device.
When the height of the storage rack 2 is set to 600 mm and the distance D between the top surface 20 of the stationary cabinet 19 and the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 is set to 300 mm or more, the storage rack must be separated from the floor surface 17. The distance to the top 18 of 2 must be at least 1700 mm. That is, the distance C from the floor surface 17 to the uppermost portion 18 of the storage rack 2 is 1700 to 1700.
By setting the distance to 1800 mm, about 90% of the adult women can reach the top 18 of the storage rack 2 and effectively use the entire storage volume of the storage rack 2.

In addition, since the distance F from the rear surface 27 of the cabinet 1 to the rear surface 28 of the storage rack 2 is set to 500 mm or more at the maximum position where the storage rack 2 is lowered, the storage rack 2 is largely drawn forward. For this reason, even if the storage part 5 made of a shelf is provided below the storage rack 2 and the pattern of the storage thing 30 such as a frying pan is stored in the storage part 5 in a protruding state, the storage thing 30 and the storage rack 2 are kept. The storage rack 2 can be moved up and down without collision. Generally, the length of a common cooking utensil such as a frying pan is 450 mm or less. Even if the height of the storage object 30 and the arc shape of the movement trajectory of the storage rack 2 are taken into consideration, if the descent is 500 mm or more, The lifting rack 2 can be raised and lowered without any problem.
The depth of the cabinet 1 is 350 mm,
Assuming that the storage unit 5 has the same depth dimension of 350 mm, it is difficult to consider storing a storage item having a length twice or more the depth of the storage unit 5 from the viewpoint of stability. You do not need to pull it out.

If the stationary cabinet 19 installed below the storage device is a counter having a depth of 600 mm, which is a general size such as a kitchen counter, the back surface 28 of the storage rack 2 in the lowered state is located at the edge of the counter. In other words, since the storage rack 2 is located outside the position about 100 mm from the end on the near side, even when the tall installation object 25 is placed in the stationary cabinet 19, the storage rack 2 can be installed.
5 will not collide.

The rotating arms 3 and 4 have a bent shape as shown in FIGS.
Alternatively, the collision between the rotating arm and the cabinet is prevented. Therefore, the two rotating arms 3 and 4 can be installed in the same operation surface, and the rotating arms 3 and 4
Since the space required in the horizontal direction for the turning can be reduced, the width of the storage rack 2 can be increased, and the storage capacity increases. Further, in order to prevent contact with other parts, it is conceivable that a part of the rotating arms 3 and 4 is bent in the axial direction (the plane direction of the rotating arm), so that the contact is prevented without impairing the storage capacity. it can.

As described above, at the maximum descent position of the storage rack 2, the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 can be lowered below the storage unit 5 such as a shelf installed under the cabinet 1. , The distance from the storage unit 5 to the storage rack 2 can be reduced.
When transferring 0 from the storage rack 2 to the storage unit 5 such as a shelf, or vice versa, the moving distance is short, the moving distance is short, the storage unit 5 can be moved easily and quickly, the loading and unloading is convenient and easy to use. A system kitchen using this can be provided. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 can be lowered below the storage unit 5, the storage object 30 of the storage unit 5 is stored in the storage rack 2. Shelf 2
4 and the storage rack 2 on the bottom surface 11 side can be easily taken in and out. On the other hand, in a configuration in which the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 cannot be lowered below the storage unit 5 as shown in FIG. 6, the storage unit 5 is moved far away from the shelf 24 on the storage rack. Changing was inconvenient.

Further, since the height of the storage section 5 such as a shelf is provided at a substantially intermediate height between the lower surface 15 of the cabinet 1 and the top surface 20 of the counter section 19, as shown in FIG. Since the part 5 can be a so-called handy zone where the work is most easily performed, which is slightly lower than the eye level or the eye level,
When the storage rack 2 is lowered and storage items 30 are put in and out between the storage unit 5 such as a shelf and the storage rack 2, it is possible to provide an easy-to-use elevating storage device and a system kitchen using the same.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the storage portion 5 such as a shelf is provided so as to protrude from the side surface of the storage rack 2, so that the storage object 30 taken out of the storage rack 2 is protruded from the storage portion 5 such as a shelf. Storage rack 2
When the storage object 30 is put in and out between the storage unit 5 such as a shelf and the storage rack 2 by lowering the storage unit 2, the usability can be further improved. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, in the case where the storage unit 5 such as a shelf does not protrude from the side surface of the storage rack 2, if the user attempts to reach the storage object 30 of the storage unit 5, the back of the storage rack 2 is closed. Since the stored items 30 cannot reach the interior of the storage rack 30 unless the user reaches his / her back, the storage rack 2 is lowered and the storage unit 5 such as a shelf and the storage rack 2 are moved downward. It is very difficult to take out and put in the storage items 30 between them.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the storage rack 2 is lowered, the center of the storage rack 2 is substantially at the level of the eyes. Items 3 stored in rack 2
In addition, the user can quickly find the storage object 30 to be taken out at 0, and the hand can easily reach any position of the storage rack 2 in terms of the height position. be able to.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the storage rack 2 is lowered and the center of the storage rack 2 is higher than the eye level, the back side of the storage rack 2 is particularly difficult to see, Hard to reach. Therefore, it is not possible to quickly find the storage object 30 to be taken out, or to speed up the storage / removal operation.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the distance from the cabinet back surface 27 to the storage rack back surface 28 at the maximum lowering position of the storage rack 2 is set to 500 mm or more, the storage rack 2 is pulled out largely forward. For this reason, even when a handle such as a frying pan is placed in a storage part 5 such as a shelf provided below the cabinet in a state protruding forward, the storage rack 2 can be moved up and down without fear of collision with the handle. it can. Even if there is a counter 19 such as a kitchen counter below the storage rack 2, the rear surface 28 of the storage rack 2 at the maximum descending position is located near the end on the near side of the above 19, so that the stationary cabinet 19 Even when the installation object 30 is placed on the top surface 20, the storage rack 2 can be moved up and down without colliding with the installation object 30. On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
When the distance from 7 to the back surface 28 of the storage rack is 500 mm or less, when the storage rack 2 is further lowered from the state shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the distance from the floor surface 17 to the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 is set at 1100 to 1200 mm, so that the storage rack 2 can be moved from the storage unit 5 such as a shelf installed below the cabinet 1. Even if the bottom surface 11 is lowered to the lower side, the counter portion 19 such as a kitchen counter below the cabinet 1 of the ascending and descending storage device,
When the storage rack 2 is moved down to the maximum, there is a space between the bottom surface 11 of the storage rack 2 and the top surface of the stationary cabinet 19, and thus the installed objects such as a rice cooker and a beer bottle placed in the stationary cabinet 19 30 can be prevented from colliding with the storage rack 2. In the case of a storage rack 2 having a general height of 600 mm, about 90%
An adult woman who can easily check the inside of the storage rack 2, can reach the top 18 of the storage rack 2, and can easily put it in and out of the storage section 5 such as a shelf. An apparatus and a system kitchen using the same can be provided.
