Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The invention of this application relates to a system kitchen. More specifically, the invention of this application aims to expand the variety of kitchen plans by making it easy and flexible to arrange electrical appliances such as outlets, switches and other wiring equipment, lighting equipment, intercoms and the like provided around the kitchen. It is about the system kitchen that can do.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A system kitchen is equipped with a sink, a gas stand,
Cabinets, counters, etc. are each unitized, and various forms are realized by combining and arranging them according to the kitchen plan, and they are assembled and constructed on site. For this reason, wiring equipment and lighting equipment for household appliances used for cooking and washing are also installed at the construction site.

For example, an outlet required for supplying electric power to a household electric appliance such as a rice cooker or a toaster is arranged on a side surface of a cabinet such as a cupboard or on a wall body. At that time, the outlet is stored. The side wall of the cabinet, the wall main body, and the like are cut out, and the power supply line is led out from the ceiling or floor and connected to the outlet.

[0004]

However, it is not easy and time-consuming to construct electrical equipment such as outlets, wiring equipment such as switches, lighting equipment, and intercoms every time, and it is not easy and It lacks flexibility in the installation area. The drawback of the arrangement of electric appliances around the kitchen is that it imposes restrictions on the kitchen plan, and a wide variety of variations could not be expected.

The invention of the present application has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is easy and flexible to dispose electrical outlets such as outlets, wiring equipment such as switches, lighting equipment, intercoms and the like provided around a kitchen. Therefore, the issue to be solved is to provide a system kitchen that can expand the variety of kitchen plans.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, the invention of the present application provides an electric appliance on an exposed surface with a makeup, and a hollow internal space is used as a wiring space. There is provided a system kitchen (claim 1), wherein the functional panel in which the wiring of (1) is housed in the wiring space is arranged on the outer surface of the side plate of the cabinet incorporated in the system kitchen.

According to the invention of this application, the functional panel includes a terminal block on the non-exposed surface side to which the power supply line is connected, and wiring for electrical connection between the terminal block and the electric appliance provided on the exposed surface is wired. It is provided as an aspect that it is housed in a space (claim 2).

Hereinafter, the system kitchen of the invention of this application will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

[0009]

1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a system kitchen according to the invention of the present application.

In the system kitchen of the invention of this application,
For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a functional panel (3) provided with an electrical appliance such as an outlet (1) on an exposed surface (2) with a makeup is a cupboard (4) incorporated in a system kitchen, etc. Is disposed on the outer surface of the side plate of the cabinet.

FIG. 2 is a main part perspective view showing an embodiment of the functional panel.

As shown in FIG. 2, the functional panel (3) is hollow, and the internal space is the wiring space (5).
It is said that. The wiring to the electric equipment provided on the exposed surface (2) is not exposed and is housed in this wiring space (5).

Therefore, in the system kitchen of the invention of this application, the functional panel (3) is provided on the outer surface of the side plate of the cabinet which is located closest to the place where the electric appliances are required to be arranged.
By arranging, it is possible to install electrical equipment such as outlets, wiring equipment such as switches, lighting equipment, intercom, etc., and save time and effort to cut out the side surface of the cabinet or the wall body to store the electric equipment. , The construction becomes easy. Also, the functional panel (3) is, as long as it is the outer surface of the side plate of the cabinet incorporated in the system kitchen,
Since the installation site is not limited, the installation site of the electric appliance is flexible, which enables a variety of variations in the kitchen plan. Further, the electric appliances provided on the function panel (3) are replaceable, and it is possible to sufficiently cope with changes after the plan is created.

There is no particular limitation on the fixing method for disposing the functional panel (3) on the outer surface of the side panel of the cabinet. For example, the functional panel (3) is provided from the inside of the cabinet through the side panel on which the functional panel (3) is disposed. ) Is screwed or the non-exposed surface (6) of the functional panel (3) is bonded to the outer surface of the side plate with an adhesive. However, screwing or the like from the exposed surface (2) side of the functional panel (3) will not lead to a deterioration in the appearance of the system kitchen, so it is not performed.

The side plate of the cabinet incorporated in the system kitchen may not be exposed depending on the position where the cabinet is arranged, so that the side plate is not always put on. Regarding the exposed side plate, a cover panel, which is commonly called an end panel, is provided in order to match the color tone with the cabinet door. In that case, in the functional panel (3), the exposed surface (2) is covered with makeup. Since it is provided, it can be used as a substitute for the panel for the cover.

Further, in order to further improve the workability of the functional panel (3), as shown in FIG. 2, the terminal block (8) to which the power line (7) is connected to the non-exposed surface (6) side. ) Can be provided. In this case, the terminal block (8) can be attached in advance in the production plant of the functional panel (3), and the non-exposed surface (6) side is partially cut away at the construction site of the system kitchen to form the cutout portion (9). Paid in
Can be fixed. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the terminal block (8) is provided on the upper part of the functional panel (3),
This is equivalent to pulling out the power supply line (7) from the ceiling, and when pulling out the power supply line (7) from the floor, the terminal block (8) can be placed under the functional panel (3). Is.

The above terminal block (8) is electrically connected to the electric equipment provided on the exposed surface (2), and the wiring (10) for electrical connection is the wiring space () of the functional panel (3). 5) It is stored in.

3 and 4 are perspective views showing another embodiment of the system kitchen according to the invention of the present application, respectively.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the decorative exposed surface (2) of the functional panel (3) disposed on the outer surface of the side plate of the cupboard (4) is used as an electric device for lighting equipment (1).
1) is provided. This luminaire (11) may be built in the function panel (3) or externally attached.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the functional panel (3) is arranged on the outer surface of the side wall of the wall cabinet (12), and in this functional panel (3), the exposed surface (2) with the makeup is applied. Lighting equipment is built in the bottom surface.

In both the embodiments shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the luminaire (11) functions as a hand illumination, and brightly illuminates the hand when cooking or washing.

The functional panel (3) of such a lighting fixture (11) can be easily incorporated into the system kitchen and can be easily installed. The variety of kitchen plans will be expanded.

Of course, the invention of this application is not limited to the above embodiments. It goes without saying that various aspects are possible in details such as the type and structure of the cabinet, the functional panel, and the electric appliances provided in the functional panel.

[0024]

As described in detail above, according to the invention of the present application, it becomes easy and flexible to arrange electric appliances such as outlets provided around the kitchen, wiring equipment such as switches, lighting equipment, intercoms, etc. Will be expanded.
