For convenience of explanation, the directions indicated by reference signs D1, D2, D3, and D4 in the figure will be described as the left, right, front, and rear of the system kitchen, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a system kitchen 1 as kitchen furniture is installed in a kitchen 2, and the present invention is applied to the system kitchen 1. The system kitchen 1 has a cabinet 3 installed on the floor. The cabinet 3 is provided with a plurality of drawers (for example, drawers 4 and 6) of various shapes and structures so as to be freely housed in the drawer.
The cabinet 3 has a configuration in which a stove cabinet 7, a cooking table cabinet 8, a sink cabinet, and the like are sequentially arranged, and a work top 9 is attached so as to cover the upper portions of the cabinets 7, 8 and the like.

A stove 10, and at least one (here, two) grill (roaster) 12 and a microwave oven 11, which are located under the stove 10, are incorporated in a stove cabinet 7 constituting the cabinet 3. ing.
The stove 10 is, for example, a stove using a gas stove or an IH (electromagnetic induction heating) cooking heater, a radiant heater or a sheathed heater. One cooking device disposed immediately below the stove 10 is a grill 12, and the grill 12 and the stove 10 constitute a stove with a grill.
The microwave oven 11 is another cooking device that is separated from the stove 10 and the grill 12 and incorporated in the stove cabinet 7, and is, for example, an electric microwave oven or a gas microwave oven.
In addition, although the case of the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11 was shown as an example of a heating cooking appliance, there exist a steam oven, a toaster, a rice cooker, a fish roaster, a microwave oven, a dishwasher etc. as another heating cooking appliance.

The work top 9 at the upper part of the countertop cabinet 8 is a countertop. The work top 9 at the upper part of the sink cabinet is provided with a faucet device and a sink. Note that a dishwasher or the like may be attached to the cabinet 3.
The stove cabinet 7 is provided with a stove 10, a grill 12, a microwave oven 11, and the like, and kitchen furniture as a single unit is configured. Similarly, the countertop cabinet 8 has drawers 4, 6 and the like, and the sink cabinet has a faucet device, a sink, and a plurality of drawers. Thus, the system kitchen 1 constitutes composite kitchen furniture in which the kitchen furniture as a single unit is combined.
A range hood 13 is installed above the stove cabinet 7, and a storage 14 is installed beside the range hood 13.

A stove 10, grill 12 and microwave oven 11 are incorporated in the cabinet 3, and smoke and water vapor B generated when cooking in the grill 12 and microwave oven 11 (symbol B includes smoke, water vapor, hot air, etc.). Are included) by the discharge means 20 (external to the system kitchen 1).
The discharge means 20 includes an exhaust port 22 and an exhaust path 23 that allows the exhaust port 22 to communicate with the cooking device.
The exhaust port 22 is formed on the top plate 21 of the stove 10 (or the top plate 25 of the cabinet 3), and is disposed at a position away from the front surface 29 of the system kitchen 1 (here, the upper rear side of the system kitchen 1). ing.
One or a plurality of (in this case, two) exhaust ports 22 are formed in the stove top plate 21 and open upward. In addition, since the exhaust port 22 should just be arrange | positioned in the position away from the front surface 29 of the system kitchen 1, you may arrange | position at the upper surface side part side of the stove top plate 21 or the cabinet top plate 25. FIG.

The exhaust path 23 is for a grill exhaust path 31 for flowing smoke and water vapor B generated in the grill 12 to the exhaust port 22, and for a microwave oven for flowing smoke and water vapor B generated in the microwave oven 11 to the exhaust port 22. And an exhaust passage 32.
The grill exhaust passage 31 is configured as an accessory of the stove 10 and the grill 12. The microwave oven exhaust path 32 is configured as an accessory of the stove 10 and the microwave oven 11. In addition, when the exhaust port 22 is formed in the top plate 25 of the cabinet 3, the grill exhaust passage 31 and the microwave oven exhaust passage 32 are attached to the cabinet 3 as independent components.

The discharge means 20 opens and closes the exhaust port 22 by moving the exhaust port cover 24 up and down in conjunction with an exhaust port cover 24 that covers the exhaust port 22 so that it can be opened and closed, and the cooking device (grill 12 and microwave oven 11). Further, an exhaust port cover moving means 33 is provided.
The exhaust port cover 24 has a function of preventing foreign matter (for example, a piece of food such as vegetables or garbage) from entering the exhaust path 23 from the exhaust port 22. The exhaust port cover 24 is formed with a large number of through holes 34 through which smoke and water vapor B generated in the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11 can pass during cooking.
When one or both of the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11 are used, the exhaust port cover 24 is moved upward by the exhaust port cover moving means 33, and when neither the grill 12 nor the microwave oven 11 is used, the exhaust port cover 24 is The exhaust port cover moving means 33 moves downward.

When one or both of the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11 are used, the exhaust port cover 24 moves upward, and a sufficient gap is formed between the exhaust port 22 and the exhaust port cover 24 in the lateral direction. The exhaust area is secured. Therefore, the pressure loss when the smoke and water vapor B generated in the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11 are discharged from the exhaust port 22 is reduced, and the smoke and water vapor B are discharged well.
Since the exhaust port 22 is located away from the front surface 29 of the system kitchen 1, smoke or water vapor B generated in the grill 12 or the microwave oven 11 directly hits a user who is standing in front of the system kitchen 1 and cooking. There is nothing and it is comfortable for the user.

When neither the grill 12 nor the microwave oven 11 is used, the exhaust port cover 24 is positioned below and closes the exhaust port 22 so that no foreign matter enters the exhaust port 22. When one or both of the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11 are used, the exhaust port cover 24 moves upward to form a gap in the lateral direction, but the exhaust port cover 24 covers the upper part of the exhaust port 22. Since it is covered, it is difficult for foreign matter to enter the exhaust port 22.
As a result, it is possible to always prevent foreign matter from entering the exhaust port 22 when the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11 are used or not.

The exhaust path 23 is located below the exhaust port 22 and is provided inside the cabinet 3. The grill exhaust path 31 constituting the exhaust path 23 communicates the internal space 35 of the grill 12 with the exhaust port 22. The microwave oven exhaust passage 32 constituting the exhaust passage 23 allows the internal space 36 of the microwave oven 11 and the exhaust port 22 to communicate with each other.
Therefore, smoke and water vapor B generated in the internal space 35 of the grill 12 during cooking flow to the exhaust port 22 through the grill exhaust path 31, and in the lateral direction between the exhaust port cover 24 and the exhaust port 22. It passes through the clearances and the many through holes 34 of the exhaust port cover 24 and is discharged to the outside.
Similarly, smoke or water vapor B generated in the internal space 36 of the microwave oven 11 during cooking flows through the microwave oven exhaust path 32 to the exhaust port 22, and is formed between the exhaust port cover 24 and the exhaust port 22. The gas passes through the gaps in the horizontal direction and the numerous through holes 34 of the exhaust port cover 24 and is discharged to the outside.
Since a large number of through holes 34 are formed in the exhaust port cover 24, the inside of the exhaust path 23 can be used even when the exhaust port cover 24 is positioned below and the exhaust port 22 is closed without using the grill 12 or the microwave oven 11. And the outside of the exhaust port cover 24 communicate with each other, so that dew condensation in the exhaust passage 23 can be prevented.

Since the grill 12 and the stove 10 are integrated with the grill, the assembling work for the stove cabinet 7 is easy.
The grill 12 may be separated from the stove 10 and incorporated in the stove cabinet 7. In this way, when the grill 12 has reached the end of its life before the stove 10 or has become very dirty, the stove 10 can be used as it is, and only the grill 12 can be replaced with a new one. .
Further, since the microwave oven 11 is incorporated separately from the stove 10 and the grill 12, when the microwave oven 11 has reached the end of its service life or becomes extremely dirty, the stove 10 and the grill 12 are continued as they are. In use, only the microwave oven 11 can be replaced with a new one.

Since the exhaust port 22 is disposed on the upper rear side of the top plate 21 of the stove 10, the smoke and water vapor B discharged from the exhaust port 22 are easily sucked into the range hood 13 located almost directly above the exhaust port 22. .
The conventional cooking device is often used as a single device on a work top of a system kitchen. However, in the present invention, the cooking device 12 or 11 is built in the cabinet 3 in a built-in system. Can be used, making it easier to use and not cluttering the kitchen.

As a first control method, in the system kitchen 1, the cooking device signal output unit (here, the heating cooking device is turned on) by turning on the cooking device (here, the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11). The exhaust port moving means 33 is driven by signals output from the grill signal output unit 40 and the microwave oven signal output unit 41). Then, the exhaust port cover 24 automatically opens and closes the exhaust port 22 by moving up and down in conjunction with the cooking devices 12 and 11 by the exhaust port cover moving means 33.
In this way, the user simply turns the cooking appliances 12 and 11 on and off, and the exhaust cover 24 automatically moves up and down in conjunction with the cooking devices 12 and 11. Is easier, and it is safer to forget to open or close the exhaust port 22.
In this case, the grill signal output unit 40 and the microwave oven signal output unit 41 are, for example, infrared light emitting units, and the exhaust cover moving means 33 has an infrared light receiving unit (signal input unit) that receives the infrared light output from the infrared light emitting unit. ) Is provided. In addition, you may electrically connect the heating cooking appliance signal output parts 40 and 41 and the exhaust-port cover moving means 33 with the wiring for signal transmission.

When using the cooking device (grill 12, microwave oven 11), the exhaust port cover moving means 33 moves the exhaust port cover 24 upward. When the exhaust port cover 24 moves upward, the exhaust port 22 is exposed and a lateral gap is formed around the exhaust port cover 24.
As a result, the pressure loss when smoke or water vapor B passes through the numerous through holes 34 of the exhaust port cover 24 is compensated by this gap, so that the overall pressure loss is reduced, and the smoke or water vapor B is removed from the exhaust port 22. Can be discharged well with a small pressure loss.

When the cooking device is used, the exhaust port cover 24 covers the exhaust port 22 in a state of being positioned above. At this time, a gap is formed in the lateral direction between the exhaust port 22 and the exhaust port cover 24, but it is difficult for foreign matter to directly enter the exhaust port 22 because the exhaust port cover 24 becomes an obstacle. Further, when the cooking device is not used, the exhaust port cover 24 is positioned below to close the exhaust port 22.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the foreign matter from entering the exhaust port 22 and keep the system kitchen 1 clean at all times when the cooking device is used or not used.
That is, the exhaust port cover 24 is lifted only when the cooking device is used so that a gap is formed in the lateral direction above the exhaust port 22, so that the foreign matter is obstructed by the exhaust port cover 24 and enters the exhaust port 22. It becomes difficult to enter, and foreign matter can be prevented from entering the exhaust passage 23.

The exhaust port cover moving means 33 includes a drive unit 51 disposed at a predetermined position of the exhaust path 23 and a support member 52 that is driven by the drive unit 51 to move up and down. The support member 52 causes the exhaust port cover 24 to be moved. It is supported.
The drive unit 51 is driven in conjunction with a switch-on operation of the cooking device (grill 12, microwave oven 11) by the user. For example, a coil is built in the drive unit 51, and the support member 52 is raised by flowing current through the coil to excite the coil. When the supply of current is stopped, the support member 52 is returned downward by a spring force or the like. ing.
When the drive unit 51 is driven, the exhaust port cover 24 supported by the support member 52 is raised, and the exhaust port 22 is opened from the closed state shown in FIG. 4A to the open state shown in FIG. To change. As a result, smoke and water vapor B generated in the cooking devices 12 and 11 during cooking pass through the exhaust passage 23 (the grill exhaust passage 31 and the microwave oven exhaust passage 32) from the exhaust port 22 by natural convection. It is discharged towards.
The discharge means 20 may have a configuration in which a fan is installed in the exhaust passage 23 and smoke and water vapor B are discharged by forced convection with the fan to such an extent that the temperature in the cooking devices 12 and 11 does not drop too much.

By the way, when the cooking device (grill 12, microwave oven 11) is used, heat is generated to raise the temperature of the internal spaces 35 and 36, and hot air due to the generated heat flows from the internal spaces 35 and 36 to the exhaust passage 23. Thus, the temperature in the exhaust passage 23 also rises.
Therefore, as a second control method (modified example), a configuration using a temperature rise in the exhaust passage 23 without providing the cooking device signal output unit is also possible. For example, when the temperature in the exhaust passage 23 rises using the cooking appliances 12 and 11, the exhaust port cover moving unit 33 is driven, and the exhaust port cover 24 is driven by the exhaust port cover moving unit 33 and moves up and down. By doing so, you may make it open and close the exhaust port 22 automatically.
In this case, the drive unit 51 of the exhaust port cover moving means 33 is provided with a drive member using shape memory alloy, wax thermo, or the like, and the drive member of the drive unit 51 is thermally deformed or expanded due to the temperature rise of the exhaust path 23. By doing so, the support member 52 is moved upward.
If it does in this way, a cooking device signal output part and a signal input part (or wiring for signal transmission) will become unnecessary, and the composition of an exhaust outlet cover moving means will be simplified.
As an application example, the first control method and the second control method may be combined. For example, one cooking device is controlled by the first control method, and the other cooking device is the second. You may make it control by this control method.

The many through holes 34 of the exhaust port cover 24 are formed in a lattice shape or various arrangement patterns. For example, FIG. 5A shows a case where the through-hole 34 is relatively large, FIG. 5B shows a case where the through-holes 34 are elongated and aligned in parallel with each other, and FIG. A rough mesh shape is shown, and FIGS. 5D and 5E show a case where the through hole 34 is a fine mesh shape.
As shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, if the through-hole 34 is relatively rough, the pressure loss when smoke or water vapor B passes is small, but foreign matter easily enters. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 5D and 5E, in the case where the through-hole 34 has a fine mesh shape (for example, a wire mesh or punching filter having a hole diameter of 1 to 3 mm), sesame grains, rice grains, etc. Although it is difficult for fine foreign substances to pass through, the pressure loss when smoke or water vapor B passes increases. Therefore, when the exhaust cover 24 is lifted, the lateral clearance around it is relatively large to increase the passage area. It is preferable to enlarge it.

FIG. 6 is a side cross-sectional view showing a part of the system kitchen 1a according to the first modification of the present embodiment, which corresponds to FIG.
FIG. 7 is a side sectional view showing a part of the system kitchen 1b according to the second modified example, and is equivalent to FIG. 8 is a side sectional view showing a part of the system kitchen 1b shown in FIG. 7, and FIGS. 8A and 8B show a closed state and an open state by the exhaust port cover 24, respectively. 9 is a view showing the periphery of the exhaust port cover 24 shown in FIG. 8, and FIGS. 9A, 9B, and 9C are a plan view, a side view in the closed state, and a side view in the open state, respectively. .
FIG. 10 is a perspective view including a system kitchen 1c according to a third modification, and is a view corresponding to FIG. 1, and FIG. 11 is a side sectional view of FIG.
6 to 11, the same reference numerals are given to the same or corresponding parts as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted, and only different parts will be described.

In the system kitchens 1a, 1b, and 1c as kitchen furniture shown in FIGS. 6 to 11, the stove 10 and at least one cooking device (such as the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11) located below the stove 10 are the cabinet. 3 is incorporated.
The first modification and the third modification show a case where there are two different or similar types of cooking devices, and each cooking device and the exhaust port 22 communicate with each other via an exhaust passage 23. . In the 2nd modification, the case where the cooking appliance 11 is one and the cooking appliance 11 and the exhaust port 22 are connected via the exhaust path 23 is shown.

In the system kitchens 1a, 1b, and 1c according to the first to third modifications, smoke and water vapor B generated in the cooking device during cooking are externally (exposed to the system kitchen) by the discharge means 20a, 20b, and 20c. 1a, 1b, and 1c).
The discharge means 20a, 20b, and 20c are formed on the top plate 21 of the stove 10 (or the top plate 25 of the cabinet 3) and the exhaust port 22 disposed at a position away from the front surface 29 of the system kitchens 1a, 1b, and 1c. The exhaust port 22 communicates with the cooking device, the exhaust port cover 24 covers the exhaust port 22 so that the exhaust port 22 can be opened and closed, and the exhaust port cover 24 is moved up and down in conjunction with the heating cooking device. Exhaust port cover moving means 33a, 33b, and 33c for opening and closing.

Smoke and water vapor B generated during cooking with the cooking device incorporated in the cabinet 3 pass through the exhaust passage 23 and are formed on the top plate 21 of the stove 10 (or the top plate 25 of the cabinet 3). It is discharged from the located exhaust port 22.
Therefore, smoke or water vapor B is not directly applied to a user who is standing in front of the system kitchens 1a, 1b, and 1c, and is comfortable for the user.
Also, smoke and water vapor B are discharged well from the exhaust port 22 with a small pressure loss, and always prevent foreign matter from entering the exhaust port 22 when the cooking device is used or not used. Can do.

Also in the system kitchens 1a, 1b, 1c, as a first control method, the exhaust cover moving means 33a, 33b, 33c is driven by a signal output from the cooking device signal output unit by turning on the cooking device. Is done. Then, the exhaust port cover 24 automatically opens and closes the exhaust port 22 by moving up and down in conjunction with the cooking device by the exhaust port cover moving means 33a, 33b, and 33c.
As a second control method (modified example), the system kitchens 1a, 1b, and 1c use the cooking device to increase the temperature in the exhaust passage 23, thereby causing the exhaust port cover moving means 33a, 33b, and 33c. When is driven, the exhaust port cover 24 may be automatically opened and closed by moving up and down driven by the exhaust port cover moving means 33a, 33b, 33c.
Also in the case of this second control method, the drive unit 51 of the exhaust port cover moving means 33a, 33b, 33c is provided with a drive member using a shape memory alloy, wax thermo, or the like, and is driven by a rise in the temperature of the exhaust passage 23. When the drive member of the part 51 is thermally deformed or thermally expanded, the support member 52 is moved upward.
If it does in this way, there exists the same effect as the said Example. As an application example, the first control method and the second control method may be combined.

In the system kitchen 1a according to the first modification shown in FIG. 6, the exhaust port cover moving means 33a is individually provided in each of the plurality of exhaust passages (here, the grill exhaust passage 31 and the microwave oven exhaust passage 32). It has been.
As a result, when the grill 12 is used, the exhaust port cover moving means 33a for the grill 12 is driven to move the exhaust port cover 24 upward so that exhaust is possible. When the microwave oven 11 is used, the microwave oven 11 Thus, the exhaust port cover moving means 33a is driven, and the exhaust port cover 24 moves upward to allow exhaust.
As a result, whenever one or both of the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11 are used, a flow path for discharging smoke and water vapor B can be secured. Further, since the exhaust port cover moving means 33a is individually provided in the grill exhaust path 31 and the microwave oven exhaust path 32, the responsiveness of each exhaust port cover moving means 33a is improved.

The exhaust port cover moving means 33 a includes a drive unit 51 disposed at a predetermined position of the exhaust path 23, and a support member 52 that is driven by the drive unit 51 and moves up and down, and is an exhaust gas supported by the support member 52. The mouth cover 24 is moved up and down.
One drive unit 51 is arranged in the grill exhaust path 31, and one support member 52 moves up and down by the drive unit 51. In addition, one drive unit 51 is disposed in the microwave oven exhaust path 32, and one support member 52 that is driven by the drive unit 51 to move up and down is provided.
Therefore, if one or both of the two support members 52 move upward, the exhaust port cover 24 is supported by the support member 52 and moves upward, and the exhaust port cover 24 is located between the exhaust port 22 and the exhaust port cover 24. A gap is formed in the lateral direction. When both support members 52 move downward, the exhaust port cover 24 supported by the support member 52 moves downward and closes the exhaust port 22.
In this way, when one or both of the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11 are used, one or both of the drive portions 51 are always driven to move the exhaust port cover 24 upward, and smoke and water vapor B are exhausted from the exhaust port. Good discharge with a small pressure loss from 22 through the lateral gap. Further, it is possible to always prevent foreign matter from entering the exhaust port 22 when the grill 12 and the microwave oven 11 are used or not.

In the system kitchen 1b according to the second modification shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the stove 10 is not provided with a grill, and below the stove 10, an oven range 11 as a cooking device is disposed. The case where it is assembled in the cabinet 3 is shown.
The system kitchen 1b is provided with one discharge means 20b for the microwave oven 11. In the discharge means 20 b, the lateral gap between the exhaust port 22 and the exhaust port cover 24 is closed by a cylindrical exhaust port elevating guard 60.

Moreover, it is possible to select only the cooking device 11 whose life has come to life or become dirty due to long-term use, and easily replace it individually with a new cooking device. In this case, since the other cooking devices 11 and the stove 10 that can still be used can be used as they are without replacement, it is economical without being wasted.
The system kitchen 1c having the stove 10 not provided with the grill also has the same operational effects as the system kitchen 1b (second modification) having the stove 10 not provided with the grill.

In the system kitchens 1b and 1c according to the second and third modifications, the stove 10 is thin and does not have a grill as compared with the stove with a grill. The height position is increased by the thickness of the grill (for example, about 10 cm).
As a result, the user can operate the cooking device 11 without bending so much as compared with the conventional case, which is easy to use and less burdensome on the body.
Since the height position of the cooking device 11 is increased, the drawer 5 can be provided below the cooking device 11. The drawer 5 is arranged immediately above the floor surface, and has a configuration including the depth of the kick in order to widen the internal storage space. Thus, since the drawer 5 can be arranged also in the stove cabinet 7, the space below the cooking device 11 is also effectively used as a storage space.

Each modification shown in FIGS. 6 to 11 has the same effect as the above-described embodiment.
Although the embodiments of the present invention (including each modification, the same applies hereinafter) have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and additions may be made within the scope of the present invention.
