Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a range hood unit in a system kitchen provided with at least a sink and a gas stand provided with a range hood above.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a recent system kitchen or the like, a sink 02 provided with a facing kitchen counter 01 as shown in FIG. 5 is often used. Immediately above, a range hood 04 constituting a part of the range hood unit was configured to be attached to a wall surface W above the gas stand 03.

[0003] In the range hood 04 configured as described above, the exhaust air from the gas stand 03 is exhausted to the outside of the building through a blower provided above the range hood 04.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Since the mounting position of the range hood unit in the conventional system kitchen is limited to the upper part of the range hood 04, workability is poor in maintenance and inspection and maintenance of the blower and the exhaust duct. Also, there is an inconvenience that the whole place cannot be used as a face-to-face kitchen with a range hood unit.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the exhaust air sucked from a range hood is discharged from below through a sink to improve the workability of maintenance and inspection and maintenance of the range hood. It is an object of the present invention to provide a range hood unit in a system kitchen which can be a face-to-face kitchen as a whole.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a range hood unit in a system kitchen according to the present invention comprises a system having at least a sink and a gas stand provided with a range hood above. A range hood unit in a kitchen, wherein the range hood unit is a fan disposed inside the range hood and the sink, and discharges exhaust air sucked from the range hood by the fan through a sink to the outside of a building. It is characterized by comprising an exhaust duct. According to this feature, since the range hood including the blower is located at the sink and below the sink, the workability of maintenance and inspection / maintenance can be improved.

[0007] In the range hood unit of the system kitchen, it is preferable that the range hood is formed of a cylindrical duct and can be mounted on a sink. By doing so, it is possible to assemble it simply by directly attaching it to the sink without using the wall surface.

[0008] In the range hood unit of the system kitchen, it is preferable that the height of the range hood be a height applicable to a face-to-face kitchen. By doing so, the field of view for the facing side can be widened.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a system kitchen as one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view showing a suction port of a range hood, and FIG. 3 is a partial front view of a sink provided with a range hood unit. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which an end of an exhaust port provided on a bottom surface of a sink is connected to an exhaust duct arranged under the floor.

First, FIG. 1 shows a system kitchen 1 to which the present invention is applied. This system kitchen 1 is arranged so as to partition a kitchen K and a dining room or a living room L. , A sink 2 in which a sink 3 and a gas stand 5 are arranged, a counter 6 having a predetermined height provided in front of the sink 2, and a range hood standing upright on the counter 6 above the gas stand 5. 7 is comprised.

The range hood 7 has a downward suction port 8 for sucking exhaust gas such as heating gas or steam generated by use of the gas stand 5, and an upper exhaust duct facing the upper side of the gas stand 5. Reference numeral 10 stands obliquely on the upper surface of the counter 6. The upper exhaust duct 10 of the range hood 7 has a width corresponding to the lateral width of the gas stand 5 and forms a thin-section rectangular wind tunnel.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the exhaust duct 10 is connected to a fan 14 which is a blower provided inside the sink 2 near the gas table 5.

More specifically, inside the sink 2, a duct 12 having one end connected to the lower end of the exhaust duct 10 and the other end connected to the suction port of the fan 14, and an upper end connected to the exhaust port of the fan 14. An exhaust duct 15 having a connection port 16 at the lower end is provided on the bottom of the sink 2.

Further, a pipe is provided below the floor 22 of the building, and one end thereof communicates with an exhaust port (not shown) outside the building. A range hood unit is constituted by the underfloor exhaust duct 24 connected to the hood 16.

That is, by configuring the system kitchen 1 as shown in FIG. 1 as described above, it becomes possible to arrange the system kitchen 1 as a desired position inside the building away from the wall surface W.

When the system kitchen 1 provided with the range hood unit configured as described above is installed, the floor surface FL is opened corresponding to the connection port 16 at the lower end of the exhaust duct 15 on the bottom of the sink 2 and through this opening. Floor F
The connection port 16 at the lower end of the exhaust duct 15 is connected to the connection part 20 at the upper end of the underfloor exhaust duct 24 projecting upward from L.

Therefore, the connecting portion 20 protruding from the floor surface FL
Port 1 at the lower end of exhaust duct 15 on the bottom of sink 2
6 is connected via the joint 18, the system kitchen 1 can be installed at a desired position in the building.

Next, the operation of the range hood unit configured as described above will be described.

First, when a switch (not shown) is turned on when the gas stand 5 of the sink 2 is used, the fan 14 is activated and generated from foodstuffs and the like which are heated in a container used on the gas stand 5. The exhaust air such as heated gas or steam is sucked into the fan 14 through the duct 12 from the suction port 8 of the range hood 7, and then discharged through the exhaust duct 15 to the under floor 2.
The air is exhausted from the underfloor exhaust duct 24, which is connected to the pipe 2, through an outdoor exhaust port.

That is, by configuring such a range hood unit, since the range hood unit including the fan 14 is located at the sink 2 and below the sink 2, the workability of maintenance and inspection / maintenance can be improved.

Further, since the range hood 7 is formed of a cylindrical duct and can be attached to the sink 2 above the gas stand 5, the structure is simple and the weight is reduced. It is possible to assemble it simply by directly attaching it to the sink 2 without using, and the assembly work becomes extremely easy.

Further, by setting the height of the range hood 7 to a height applicable to the facing kitchen, it is possible to widen the field of view on the facing side such as the living room L.

In addition, since the arrangement of the system kitchen 1 is no longer restricted to the vicinity of the wall surface, as shown in FIG. , 25b are formed, so that regardless of the arrangement of the chairs C1 and C2 of the table T arranged to face the front of the counter 6 of the system kitchen 1, it is possible to move without difficulty between the living room L and the kitchen K. Thus, the usability of the system kitchen 1 can be improved.

Therefore, when the range hood unit using the gas stand 5 of the sink 2 is started, the exhaust air generated from the gas stand 5 side is sucked from the range hood 7 via the fan 14 and the underfloor exhaust duct 24 Through the exhaust port (not shown) outside the building.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and even if there are changes and additions without departing from the gist of the present invention. Included in the invention.
