  In the case of this facing kitchen 26, it has the detection part 5 and the alerting | reporting part 6 similar to Example 1 shown in FIG. 2, and performs the same effect | action as Example 1 shown in FIG.3 (b), but Example 1, a curtain lighting device 17 that is a notification device 14 of the notification unit 6 is attached to the curtain 28 on the dining side of the kitchen cabinet, as in the first embodiment.

  Embodiment 2 of the kitchen according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The second embodiment has substantially the same configuration as that of the first embodiment. However, the difference from the first embodiment is a configuration in which an electric lamp 30 that is an alarm 14 is provided on the surface of the range hood 31. The range hood 31 provided with the electric lamp 30 of the alarm device 14 is applied to the face-to-face kitchen 32 as shown in FIG. 4 (a) in the second embodiment, but is a normal one as shown in FIG. 1 (a). It may be applied to the range hood 4 of the kitchen 1.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the face-to-face kitchen 32 of the second embodiment is provided with a range hood 31 above the stove (range). The range hood 31 is attached to the side wall 33 of the dining room. In the case of an island type kitchen, the range hood 31 may be attached to the ceiling so as to protrude downward from the ceiling.

  In the face-to-face kitchen 32 of the second embodiment, the configuration of the detection unit and the notification unit is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2, and the operation thereof is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. I do.

  In the second embodiment, an electric lamp 30 is provided on the surface of the lower frame portion 29 of the range hood 31 of the face-to-face kitchen 32. The electric lamp 30 may be a fluorescent lamp, but considering the narrowness of the installation space for the range hood 31, an LED or the like is preferable. In Example 2, the surface on which the electric lamp 30 is provided is a dining side surface as shown in FIG. 4A, but may be a kitchen side or a side surface.

  Embodiment 3 of the kitchen according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The third embodiment is basically the same configuration as the first and second embodiments, but the alarm of the notification unit uses a partition with the dining unit of the face-to-face kitchen (island type kitchen), and below that This is different from the first and second embodiments in the configuration of the display illumination device provided with the electric lamp.

  FIG. 5A is a diagram illustrating the overall configuration of the third embodiment. In this face-to-face kitchen 33, a partition glass partition 36 is erected on the counter top plate 34 and on the dining side of the stove 35 as a partition for performing simple partitioning with the dining side. . The alarm device of the third embodiment has a configuration of a display illumination device that performs illumination and display by guiding illumination light from an electric lamp (LED or the like) to a glass screen 36.

  FIG. 5B is a diagram for explaining the alarm device according to the third embodiment in detail. A support base 38 is fixed with screws on the top plate 34 of the counter, and a lower end portion of the glass partition 36 is inserted into a support groove 39 of the support base 38 and is erected. Below the support groove 39, the electric lamp 37, the lighting switch 15, and the notification control unit 13 are disposed in a recess 40 formed in the support base 38 and the top plate 34.

  By illuminating upward from the lower end surface of the glass partition 36 with the electric lamp 37, the illumination light is guided upward in the glass partition 36, and the illumination light is emitted to the dining side as indicated by an arrow. As shown in FIG. 5 (c), a warning character 41 such as “DANGER” is written on the surface of the dining room side of the glass screen, and it is displayed together with the lighting so that the user is alerted. .

  The face-to-face kitchen of Example 2 is characterized in that the display lighting device, which is a notification device, is configured to illuminate the glass screen 36 with an electric light, but the configuration of the detection unit, the configuration of the notification unit, and the like are as follows. This is basically the same as the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2 and performs the same operation as the first embodiment shown in FIG. However, when the glass screen 36 is configured to be illuminated as in the third embodiment, the first notification signal may omit the lighting of the blue light ((B) in FIG. 3B). Good.

(Modification of Example 3)
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a modification of the third embodiment. This modified example is a face-to-face kitchen of the same type as that of the second embodiment. Like the third embodiment, a glass screen 42 of the display lighting device is erected on the dining side of the stove 35. Reference numeral 42 denotes a partition higher than that of the third embodiment, and the upper end thereof is fixed to the lower frame portion 29 of the range hood 27. And the heat-insulating plate 43 is affixed on the stove side surface of the lower part of the glass partition 42.

  The lamp of the display illumination device is provided below the glass partition 42 as in the third embodiment. A warning character 41 such as “DANGER” is displayed on the surface of the glass partition 42 above the heat insulating plate 43. As a result, when an electric lamp is turned on, the character 41 is illuminated and appears to protrude.

  FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are diagrams for explaining the fourth embodiment, including the case where the stove 3 is a gas stove and the case where it is an IH heater. The kitchen 44 shown in FIG. 7 (a) has a slightly different appearance of the range hood 45, but basically, the configuration and the curtain lighting as a notification device of a notification unit attached to the sink cabinet 2 of the kitchen 44. The device 17 is almost the same as that of the first embodiment.

  A characteristic configuration of the fourth embodiment different from that of the first embodiment is that the detection of whether or not the stove 3 is igniting is performed by using a stove sensor 46 attached to the range hood 45 as shown in FIG. In addition, a person detection sensor 47 is provided in the range hood 45 to detect the presence or absence of a person in the vicinity of the kitchen 44.

  The stove sensor 46 is installed at or near the suction port 48 of the range hood 45 using a miscellaneous gas sensor, an infrared sensor, a temperature sensor, or the like. In the fourth embodiment, a stove sensor 46 is installed on the lower surface of the range hood 45. The human detection sensor 47 is attached to the lower frame portion 29 of the range hood 45 using an optical sensor such as an infrared ray.

  FIG. 8A is a block diagram illustrating a detection unit and a notification unit according to the fourth embodiment. The detection unit 49 having the stove sensor 46 is connected to a notification control unit (microcomputer) 51 of the notification unit 50, and outputs an “in-ignition detection signal” to the notification control unit 51 based on the detection result of the stove sensor 46. . The configuration of the detection unit 49 is basically the same as that of the notification unit 5 of FIG.

  However, the detection unit 49 according to the fourth embodiment includes a human detection sensor 47 and outputs a human detection signal to the notification control unit 51. If the “detection signal during ignition” from the detection unit 49 has continuously passed for a predetermined time and there is no human detection signal, the notification control unit 51 automatically sends a signal to extinguish the stove 3. It produces | generates and outputs this to the operation control part 52 of the stove 3, and it is comprised so that the stove 3 may be extinguished automatically. Alternatively, the use of the stove may be detected after the person is detected, and if the person is not detected while the use of the stove is continuously detected, it may be determined that the stove is forgotten.

(Operation of Example 4)
The operation of the kitchen of the fourth embodiment having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The operation of the fourth embodiment is almost the same as that shown in the flowchart of the first embodiment in FIG. 3B, and the description of the same operation is omitted. However, the fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the operation of the configuration in which the human detection sensor 47 is added to the detection unit 49. Specifically, the actions relating to (F) and (Y) in FIG. 8B are actions unique to the fourth embodiment.

  That is, in the fourth embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when the elapsed time X from when the ignition detection signal is input becomes 10 minutes or more in a state where the red lamp is lit, the notification control unit performs the third notification. A signal (red lamp light reduction signal) is sent to the lighting switch 15 of the curtain illuminating device 17 to switch the red light of the curtain illuminating device 17 to be reduced.

  In this case, in the fourth embodiment, when the person is detected by the person detection sensor 47 in a state where the red lamp is blinking, on the condition that the fire is not extinguished on the condition that “fire extinguished?” The point reduction continues (see (f), (wo), (wa) in FIG. 8 (b)), and extinguishes when extinguished ((f), (wo) in FIG. 8 (b), (See (f)). However, when the human sensor 47 does not detect the person, the operation control unit 52 of the stove 3 is operated to automatically extinguish the fire and turn off (see (F) and (Y) in FIG. 8B).

  By such an action, when the stove 3 is left unlit for 10 minutes or more, and there are no more people near the kitchen, the stove 3 is automatically extinguished to reduce the risk of unleashing and economic loss. Can be prevented.

  In the fourth embodiment, the result of human detection by the human sensor is adopted in a state in which the red light is blinking. However, in the state in which the blue light is lit or the red light is lit, or the alarm is turned on. Regardless of the state, the notification control unit 51 (microcomputer) may be configured to operate in advance or by software so as to generate a signal that automatically extinguishes using the detection result of human detection.
