Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kitchen resin counter provided with a gas table mounting hole for mounting a gas table.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a resin counter made of synthetic resin has been used as a top plate of a cooking table. This resin counter is formed by adding various coloring agents and fillers to a synthetic resin such as a polyester resin so as to exhibit a natural marble-like appearance, and is generally called an artificial marble counter.

[0003]

However, when a heat generating device such as a gas table is mounted on such a synthetic resin-based resin counter, a crack may be generated around the device. That is, since the resin counter has a low thermal conductivity, a temperature difference is likely to occur between the periphery of the gas table mounting hole and other portions. For this reason, thermal stress is generated around the gas table mounting hole. However, when heating and natural cooling are repeated due to heat generation of the gas table over a long period of use, thermal stress is repeatedly generated, particularly at the corner of the gas table mounting hole. In these parts, there is a risk that cracks may occur due to residual strains caused by these, and this may degrade the aesthetic appearance.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a resin counter capable of suppressing generation of cracks in a resin counter main body due to heat of a gas table. That is.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the resin counter of the present invention, the periphery of the gas table mounting hole is formed by a separate member discontinuous from the resin counter body, and the gas table mounting hole is provided. A support bar for supporting the another member is disposed on the lower surface side of the peripheral edge of.

According to this resin counter, the periphery of the gas table mounting hole, which becomes the highest temperature when the gas table is used, is:
It is composed of a separate member, which is discontinuous with the resin counter, so the structural restraint by the counter body is weakened and the thermal stress is reduced even if the separate member expands due to the heat of the gas table. The residual strain can also be reduced. Also, even if a crack occurs in another member, the crack does not extend to the counter body because the other member is discontinuous with the counter body.

Further, a heat radiating fin may be provided on the lower surface side of the peripheral edge of the gas table mounting hole, and a heat transfer plate covering the peripheral edge of the gas table mounting hole and continuing to the heat radiating fin may be attached.

In this case, since the heat of the gas table can be efficiently dissipated from the radiating fins, the amount of heat transferred to the resin counter decreases, and the thermal stress generated in the resin counter can be reduced. .

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described.
This will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a part of a resin counter 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, as shown in FIG.
Is formed by a separate member 4 that is discontinuous from the resin counter body 2, and a support bar 5 that supports the separate member 4 is disposed on the lower surface side of the periphery of the gas table mounting hole 3.

[0010] The resin counter body 2 is, as described above,
Various colorants and fillers are contained in a synthetic resin such as a polyester resin. The resin, the colorant and the like constituting the resin counter main body 2 can be variously set as required. Resin counter body 2
Is a plate-like member having a substantially uniform thickness, and is bent so that its front end portion hangs downward as shown in FIG. This resin counter 1 is formed with a gas table mounting hole 3 as shown in the drawing at an appropriate position. The gas table mounting hole 3 is
It has a substantially rectangular shape, and its corners are rounded so as to draw an arc.

The periphery of the gas table mounting hole 3 is formed by attaching a separate member 4 discontinuous to the resin counter body 2 so as to cover the entire circumference. This separate member 4 includes plywood,
In addition to the calcium silicate plate, it can be made of the same resin material as the resin counter. Although the width of the separate member 4 is set to 10 mm in this embodiment, it can be changed as needed.

The separate member 4 is not fixed to the resin counter main body 2, but is attached to the gas table mounting hole 3 of the resin counter 1.
It is supported by a support bar 5 fixed to the lower surface side of the peripheral edge. Therefore, the resin counter main body 2 and the separate member 4 are only connected via the support bar 5 and are discontinuous. The fixing between the separate member 4 and the support bar 5 and the fixing between the support bar 5 and the resin counter body 2 may be performed by bonding, screwing, or the like.

The support bar 5 is made of wood or the like, and is provided on four sides of the gas table mounting hole 3 such that the inner edge of the gas table mounting hole 3 side substantially coincides with the inner edge of the separate member 4. . The ends of the vertical support bars 5a, 5a of the support bar 5 are respectively provided on the back surface of the resin counter 1 and are in contact with the horizontal bars 6a, 6b supporting the resin counter.
The ends of the horizontal support bars 5b, 5b are in contact with the side surfaces of the vertical support bars 5a, 5a, and are configured in a ladder shape.

A well-known gas table is inserted into the gas table mounting hole 3. At this time, the frame constituting the outer periphery of the upper part of the gas table is mounted on the peripheral part of the gas table mounting hole 3. At this time, the separate member 4 is located below the frame, is completely covered by the frame, and cannot be seen from the outside.

When the resin counter 1 is configured as described above, heat generated from the gas table is transmitted to the separate member 4 and the resin counter body 2 in this order, so that the separate member 4 is heated to the highest temperature. At this time, the separate member 4 thermally expands due to the heat. However, since the separate member 4 is discontinuous with the resin counter main body 2, the restraint due to this is reduced, and the thermal stress can be reduced. As a result, even if heating and natural cooling by the gas table are repeated, generation of cracks can be suppressed.

Even if a crack occurs in the separate member 4, the crack does not extend to the inside of the resin counter body 2 because it is discontinuous with the resin counter body 2. Is usually covered by the frame of the gas table, so that cracks of the separate member 4 are not visible from the outside. Thereby, the beauty of the resin counter can be maintained for a long period of time.

Next, only different points of the different embodiment from the above embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment,
A radiating fin 7 is provided on the lower surface of the peripheral edge of the gas table mounting hole 3, and a heat transfer plate 8 continuous with the radiating fin 7 is attached so as to cover the peripheral edge of the gas table mounting hole 3.

The radiating fins 7 and the heat transfer plate 8 are made of a metal having excellent thermal conductivity such as aluminum, and the radiating fins 7 are formed in a comb-shaped cross section as shown in FIG.
The radiating fins 7 have substantially the same width as the support bar 5 and are fixed to the lower surface of the support bar 5 by bonding, screwing, or the like.

The heat transfer plate 8 is formed to have an L-shaped cross section so as to cover the side surface of the support bar 5 on the side of the gas table mounting hole 3 and the side surface and the upper surface of the separate member 4. Connected.

As described above, when the radiation fins 7 are attached, the heat of the gas table is dissipated by the radiation fins 7 and the temperature rise of the resin counter 1 can be suppressed. Thereby, the thermal stress generated in the resin counter 1 is reduced, and the occurrence of cracks in the separate member 4 can be suppressed.

The shape of the radiating fins 7 is not limited to the comb-like shape, and can be appropriately set as required, for example, a U-shape. The radiating fins 7 may be mounted on all four sides of the gas table mounting hole 3 or may be provided only at a particularly necessary place such as near a large thermal burner.
