(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a front view showing a furniture system with a suction / exhaust device and a wall cabinet according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the furniture system, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing an intake path of a box and an adjacent box.

1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a furniture device, and reference numeral 2 denotes a wall cabinet. The furniture apparatus 1 includes a top plate 3 as a plate-like member and floor cabinets 4 and 5 as storage cabinets. Floor cabinet 4,
The space 6 is formed on the lower surface of the top plate 3 by installing the space 5 at intervals.
Is installed. Each of the floor cabinets 4 and 5 has a door body provided with ventilation openings 4a and 5a on the front surface, and has an opening 9 communicating with the intake / exhaust device 7 on the side surface 8 facing the space 6. Below the intake / exhaust device 7, a kitchen waste treatment machine 1 that generates gas such as odor, heat, and steam during operation.
1 is provided. This kitchen waste treatment machine 11 has a lid 10 at the top, and is installed on a drawer 13 attached to a floor 12. The space 6 in which the intake / exhaust device 7 is installed has a sufficient height that the lid 10 of the kitchen waste treatment machine 11 can be opened. The height when the lid 10 is opened is shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.

The intake / exhaust device 7 has a substantially L-shaped outer body 16 composed of a horizontal extension 14 and a vertically lower portion 15. A main intake port 17 provided on the lower surface of the horizontal extension 14 and left and right side portions. Air is sucked in through an intake port 18 communicating with the openings 9 of the floor cabinets 4 and 5 provided, and
4 Air is exhausted through an exhaust port 19 provided on the back surface.
Note that the exhaust port 19 is also provided on the side surface of the outer shell 16 adjacent to the floor cabinets 4 and 5, which is a surface other than the rear surface of the vertically lower portion 14, so that the exhaust direction can be selected other than the rear surface. However, in this embodiment, since the openings corresponding to the exhaust ports 19 on the side surfaces of the outer shell 16 are not provided on the side surfaces of the floor cabinets 4 and 5, only the rear exhaust is possible.

A manual switch 20 for controlling the on / off operation of the air intake / exhaust device 7 is provided on the front surface of the outer body 16, and an activated carbon 21 serving as a deodorizing means for treating odor is provided inside.
A cooling device 22 for cooling air containing hot air sucked from the main intake port 17; a blower 23 having a built-in electric motor for creating an air flow from the intake ports 17 and 18 to the exhaust port 19; 11 installation state and kitchen waste treatment machine 1
A detection device 24 for detecting the open / close state of the lid 10 and a control board 25 for controlling the drive of the blower 23 are provided.

A power supply device 26 is provided in the intake / exhaust device 7, and this device can be used without difficulty in the vicinity of the intake / exhaust device 7, and odor, heat, steam and other gases can be sufficiently treated. 27 is an exhaust port 19 of the intake / exhaust device 7
, And can be exhausted to the outside through a back plate 28 and a wall 29 which is a building frame.

Next, the operation and operation will be described. When the garbage disposal machine 11 is installed in the space 6 of the furniture apparatus 1, the detecting device 24 detects the position of the garbage disposal machine 11 and transmits information to the control board 25, the blower 23 operates, and the intake and exhaust device 7 is intermittently operated. Start driving. Pull out the drawer 13 and remove the kitchen waste 1
When the first lid 10 is opened, the detecting device 24 detects the opened state of the lid 10 and transmits information to the control board 25, and the intake / exhaust device 7 starts forced operation. Thereby, the kitchen waste treatment machine 1
1 Air such as odor and heat generated during operation is sucked from the main air intake 17 of the air intake / exhaust device 7, cooled by the cooling device 22 when passing through the outer shell 16, the odor is removed by the activated carbon 21, and the air exhaust 19 , Are discharged outside through the duct 27.

Since the intake port 18 of the intake / exhaust device 7 and the openings 9 of the floor cabinets 4 and 5 are communicated with each other,
When the blower 23 of the intake / exhaust device 7 operates, the air in the adjacent floor cabinets 4 and 5 can be sucked, and the air sucked from the openings 4a and 5a provided in the door body can be removed from the floor cabinets 4 and 5a. The air flows into the suction / exhaust device 7 through the interior of the refrigerator and is discharged to the outside, thereby generating a flow of air.
For example, there is an effect that freshness of root vegetables stored in the inside can be maintained and wetness of a dried product can be prevented. In other words, it is possible to perform two functions of treating the hot air and the odor generated from the kitchen waste treatment machine 11 by one suction / exhaust device 7 and circulating the air in the adjacent cabinet storage.
Since the number of installations is small, other storage space and installation space are not deprived, so that efficiency in space utilization is good, and of course, cost is not required. Further, since the intake / exhaust device 7 is provided with the manual switch 20 on the front surface, it is possible to cope with a case where only the air circulation of the adjacent cabinet is desired without installing the kitchen waste treatment machine 11.

In the above embodiment, the intake / exhaust device 7

Further, the deodorizing means may not be provided. In addition, cooling pipe 2
When cooling is performed by a positive cooling means using a thermoelectric element 2 or the like, the heat of the exhaust gas can be removed, and the heat generated from the equipment container can be treated most efficiently, which is more preferable.

In the above embodiment, the kitchen waste treatment machine 11 can be placed so as to face the main intake port 17 of the intake / exhaust device 7. However, a predetermined base portion on which the kitchen waste treatment machine 11 can be placed is eliminated, and the kitchen waste disposal machine 11 is directly placed on the floor. You may.

Further, in the above embodiment, the kitchen waste disposal machine 11
Is provided, but the drawer 13 may not be provided.

Alternatively, a dedicated box having an opening may be prepared, and the intake / exhaust device 7 or the intake / exhaust device 7 and the drawer 13 may be configured as a single unit. If the openings 9 are provided on site according to the planning, it is possible to freely respond to the installation form, and it is also possible to easily install and move with the intake and exhaust devices incorporated, and to perform the work related to movement and installation The workability is improved and the labor of construction can be saved. Further, an opening for intake and exhaust may be provided on a predetermined surface of the exclusive box. Then, odor, heat, steam, and other gases can be sucked and exhausted from the device container or the predetermined surface of the exclusive box.

In the above embodiment, the position of the kitchen waste disposal machine 11 and the lid 1 of the kitchen waste disposal machine 11 are detected by the detecting device 24.
The open / closed state of the garbage disposal machine 11 is detected.
It is good also as a detection device which detects the driving state of a user, the presence or absence of operation or approach of a user, the temperature, humidity, noise, brightness, or time of a living room. In addition, the intermittent operation of the blower and the switching between the HI and LO operations become possible, and by driving the air intake / exhaust device only when necessary, energy saving can be achieved.

In the above embodiment, the floor cabinets 4 and 5 are all provided with a door having a ventilation opening on the front surface to allow ventilation. However, not only the front surface of the floor cabinet but also other surfaces can be provided. It may have a ventilation structure. Then, even if one ventilation structure is closed due to the planning condition, the other ventilation structure remains, and it is possible to easily cope with various installation states.
