Therefore, when a person performs work such as cooking in the system kitchen 2, even if the lifting shelf 40 is pulled down, it does not hinder the work.
[0018]
On one side of the elevating shelf 40 (the side where the side plate 43 is not provided, that is, on the left side), a bar material 49 is attached obliquely in a side view. Since the bar member 49 is provided, it is possible to prevent the stored object 45 being stored from jumping to the left side or falling when the elevating rack 40 is moved up and down.
A cutting board support member 47a made of a wire is fixed to the outside of the side plate 43 (here, to the outside of the right side) to accommodate the cutting board 45d. Since the cutting board support member 47a is disposed outside the lifting shelf 40, the side plate 43 functions as a partition plate, and prevents the wet cutting board 45d from directly contacting another stored object 45. be able to.
[0019]
A number of through-holes 46 are drilled in the elevating shelf 40 in a regular array. A support member 47 for supporting the storage object 45 is engaged with the through hole 46 at an arbitrary position so as to be able to be disengaged. The through-holes 46 are formed regularly in the vertical and horizontal directions, but may be formed in an oblique direction.
As the type of the storage object 45, what is frequently used during cooking, for example, kitchen paper 45a, towel 45b, wrap 45c, cutting board 45d, or the like is conveniently stored in the lifting shelf 40, but is not limited thereto. Anything can be stored.
[0020]
The support member 47 is formed in a predetermined shape from a wire or a plate so as to easily support these various objects 45 to be stored. Since the support member 47 can be locked in the through hole 46 at an arbitrary position, the position of the support member 47 can be freely changed according to the user's convenience.
Since the position of the support member 47 can be changed, the object to be stored is supported by the support member 47 at a desired position in the lifting shelf 40. For example, it is preferable to store the kitchen paper 45a on the left side (that is, on the sink 21 side) in the elevating shelf 40 with the center axis directed in the front-rear direction.
By doing so, the kitchen paper 45a in the elevating shelf 40 with the left side opened can be pulled forward (that is, toward the sink 21) as shown by the arrow B, and the usability is good.
In the present embodiment, the lifting shelf 40 is made of a plate material, but in the modification shown in FIG. 8, the lifting shelf 40 is made of a wire 48. A support member 47 for supporting the object 45 is detachably engaged with a wire 48 at an arbitrary position. The other configuration of the lifting shelf 40 of this modification is the same as that of the present embodiment, and the same operation and effect are achieved.
[0021]
The lifting shelf 40 shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 is suspended while being urged upward by a metal spring plate 55. The spring plate 55 can be wound around a roll portion 56 attached to the case 41. The lock mechanism (not shown) has a function of locking the roll portion 56 in a non-rotational state and a function of releasing the lock so as to be freely rotatable.
The handle 54 includes a fixed handle 57 fixed to a lower portion of the lifting shelf 40 and a movable handle 58 that can be gripped and moved by hand. When the movable handle 58 is grasped and pulled downward while holding the fixed handle 57 by hand, the lock mechanism is unlocked and the roll portion 56 is made rotatable. When the hand is released from the movable handle 58, the lock mechanism operates to lock the roll portion 56 to make it non-rotatable.
Therefore, while the movable handle 58 is gripped and the lock by the lock mechanism is released, the lifting shelf 40 can be freely raised and lowered. Since the spring plate 55 urges the lifting shelf 40 in a direction of pulling the lifting shelf 40 upward, the lifting shelf 40 can be easily raised with a small force.
[0022]
If the user lifts the movable handle 58 with the lifting shelf 40 moved to a desired height position, the roll portion 56 is locked by the lock mechanism and becomes non-rotating, so that the lifting shelf 40 is at that height position. Positioning is maintained without moving. Therefore, the lifting shelf 40 can be stored in the case 41, pulled out to the lower end position, or stopped at an arbitrary position in the middle.
When the lifting shelf 40 is stored in the case 41, the lifting mechanism 40 is moved to the rising end position while holding the movable handle 58 with a hand, and then the lock mechanism is operated by releasing the hand from the movable handle 58. To lock the roll portion 56 to make it non-rotating. As a result, the entire lifting shelf 40 is housed in the case 41 and positioned and held.

The wall panel 5 partitions the refrigerator 1 from the storage 1 and the system kitchen 2. A water-resistant wall panel 5 is also provided on the back of the system kitchen 2.
Since the wall panel 5 has water resistance, there is no problem even if the cutting board 45d, the towel 45b, and the like are stored in the elevating shelf 40 in a wet state, and water droplets fall on the wall panel 5. Since the wall panel 5 is made of metal (preferably made of stainless steel), the wall panel 5 has water resistance to water droplets and is hygienic because mold and the like are hardly generated.
[0024]
Since the lifting shelf 3 is disposed at the end of the storage 1 and above the system kitchen 2, the lifting shelf 40 is pulled downward, and the lifting shelf 40 is moved to the sink 21 side (here, the left side). ) And the front side is greatly open.
Therefore, when performing a task such as cooking in the system kitchen 2, no matter where the person is standing in the system kitchen 2, such as in front of the sink 21 or in front of the counter 20 of the countertop cabinet 17 on the other (right side), The object 45 can be easily put in and out of the elevating shelf 40 by reaching the elevating shelf 40.
[0025]
Further, when the storage shelf 40 is not used, even if the storage shelf 40 is pulled out downward, the lifting shelf 40 is located at the back of the right end of the system kitchen 2. It doesn't get in the way.
Therefore, for example, the lifting shelf 40 may be pulled out until the stored wet chopping board 45 d or the like dries, and after these are dried by natural drying, the lifting shelf 40 may be stored in the case 41. In this case, there is no need to provide an expensive drying device as in the related art.
