Description

  The present invention relates to a grill in which a tray receiving frame that supports a grill pan is housed in a grill cabinet so that the tray receiving frame can be pulled out in front of the grill cabinet, and a grill door that closes the front opening of the grill cabinet is connected to the tray receiving frame.

  Conventionally, this type of grill is known in which a swing frame that is swingable in the vertical direction is connected to a tray receiving frame, and a grill door is connected to the tray receiving frame via the swing frame (for example, , See Patent Document 1). According to this, when the grip part of the grill door is reached and the grill door is pulled forward, the tray receiving frame is pulled out to the front of the grill cabinet via the swing frame, and then the grill door is shaken when the hand is lowered. The moving frame moves downward with respect to the tray receiving frame. Therefore, the grill door does not get in the way when the food is placed on or taken out of the grill net on the grill pan, and the food is easy to handle.

However, in the above conventional example, the grill door tilts forward as the swing frame swings downward, and the upper portion of the grill door heated to a high temperature is displaced forward. Therefore, it is necessary for the user to stand at a sufficient distance in front of the grill so that the upper part of the grill door does not touch the arm when the hand hung on the handle is lowered. Become.
JP 2004-261280 A (paragraph 0032, FIG. 12, FIG. 13)

  In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a grill in which the grill door is lowered without tilting forward and the usability is improved even in a narrow kitchen space.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a grill door in which a tray receiving frame that supports a grill pan is housed in a grill cabinet so that the tray receiving frame can be pulled out forward of the grill cabinet, and the front opening of the grill cabinet is closed by the tray receiving frame. Is connected to the tray receiving frame so as to be movable in parallel in the vertical direction, and includes a parallel link mechanism including two first and second links.

  According to the present invention, in a state where the tray receiving frame is pulled out to the front of the grill cabinet, the grill door is lowered with respect to the tray receiving frame without tilting forward by the action of the parallel link mechanism. Therefore, the upper part of the grill door heated to a high temperature does not displace toward the front as it descends. Therefore, even if the user stands in a relatively close position in front of the grill, there is no risk that the upper part of the grill door touches the arm etc. when lowering the hand on the handle of the grill door, and it is easy to use even in a small kitchen space. Will be better.

  By the way, when using a parallel link mechanism, it is generally considered that the front end portions of both the first and second links are pivotally attached to the rear surface of the grill door in the vertical direction. In this case, the rear end portions of both the first and second links are pivotally attached to the same position in the front-rear direction of the dish receiving frame so as to be separated in the vertical direction. Here, if the distance between the pivoting portions of the first and second links with respect to the grill door and the distance between the pivoting portions of the first and second links with respect to the dish receiving frame are short, the grill door is likely to wobble. Become. When the vertical distance between the pivotally attached portions of the first and second links on the rear surface of the grill door is made long enough to prevent the grill door from wobbling, the first and second links with respect to the dish receiving frame can be prevented. Similarly, it is necessary to increase the vertical distance between the pivoting portions. As a result, the vertical dimension of the entire tray receiving frame including the parallel link mechanism is increased, and the grill is increased in size.

  On the other hand, if the location of the grill door that pivotally attaches the first link is the side surface of the grill door and the location of the grill door that pivotally attaches the second link is the back of the grill door, the first link to the grill door Is located in front of the pivot link of the second link with respect to the grille door. Therefore, it is possible to secure the distance between the pivotally attached portions of the first and second links with respect to the grill door without increasing the vertical distance between the two. Therefore, it is not necessary to lengthen the vertical distance between the pivoting portions of the first and second links with respect to the dish receiving frame. As a result, it is possible to prevent an increase in the size of the grill by suppressing an increase in the vertical dimension of the entire tray receiving frame including the parallel link mechanism.

  FIG. 1 shows a built-in stove incorporated in a countertop CT of a system kitchen. The stove body of the stove is provided with three stove burners 1 in total, two on the left and right on the front side and one on the rear side.

A grip portion 421 is provided at the lower front portion of the grill door 42. Each front panel 5 incorporates an operation panel 6 for the stove burner 1 and the grill 4 so as to be able to protrude and retract in front of the front panel 5. When the operation panel 6 is stored, a front plate 6 a of the operation panel 6 is provided. It is almost flush with the front panel 5.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the grill 4 includes a grill box 41 installed in the stove body. In the grill warehouse 41, a grill pan 44 on which a grill 43 is placed via a leg piece 431 suspended in front and back, and a tray receiving frame 45 that supports the grill pan 44 are stored. An upper fire burner 46 having a downward combustion plate 461 is attached to the ceiling portion of the grill box 41. In addition, on each of the left and right side walls of the grill warehouse 41, an overhanging portion 411 is formed that protrudes inward from the grill 43 and faces the through-hole 412 provided in the overhanging portion 411. 47 is arranged. Thus, a double-sided grill that bakes the food on the grill 43 from above and below with the upper fire burner 46 and the lower fire burner 47 is configured.

  A fixed rail 413 that is long in the front-rear direction is attached to each side wall of the grill box 41 so as to be positioned below the overhanging portion 411. A movable rail 451 that is long in the front-rear direction opposite to the fixed rail 413 is attached to the left and right sides of the dish receiving frame 45, and both rails are provided between the fixed rail 413 and the movable rail 451. Intermediate rails 414 that are movably engaged in the front-rear direction via balls 414a are inserted into 413 and 451. Thus, the tray receiving frame 45 is guided by these rails 413, 414, 451 and can be pulled out forward of the grill storage 41. Therefore, the grill pan 44 supported by the pan receiving frame 45 and the grill 43 placed on the grill pan 44 can be pulled out to the front of the grill 41 and the food to be cooked can be put on or taken out from the grill 43. it can.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the grill door 42 is connected to the dish receiving frame 45 through a parallel link mechanism 48 so as to be movable in parallel in the vertical direction. Hereinafter, the parallel link mechanism 48 will be described in detail, but before that, the dish receiving frame 45 will be further described. The tray receiving frame 45 is formed in a dish shape from a sheet metal and has a bottom plate portion 452. In relation to mounting the movable rail 451, the depth of the portion near the left and right side portions of the bottom plate portion 452 is increased, and the depth of the central portion in the horizontal direction of the bottom plate portion 452 is decreased.

  The parallel link mechanism 48 includes first and second links 481 and 482 formed of sheet metal. Both the first and second links 481 and 482 extend in the front-rear direction with the first link 481 on the upper side and the second link 482 on the lower side of the horizontal center portion of the bottom plate portion 452 of the dish receiving frame 45. Exist. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, a longitudinally rising portion 481a is formed at the front end of the first link 481 in the lateral direction located in front of the dish receiving frame 45, and is bent forward at both lateral ends of the rising portion 481a. Arm portions 481b are formed, and each arm portion 481b is pivotally attached to each of the left and right lateral sides of the grill door 42 by a shaft 481c. In FIG. 4, the grill pan 44 is removed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, downwardly raised and raised pieces 453 are formed at the rear of the bottom plate portion 452 of the tray receiving frame 45 so as to be positioned on both the left and right sides of the central portion in the horizontal direction of the bottom plate portion 452. A rear end portion of the first link 481 is pivotally attached to the piece 453 by a shaft 481d.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a rising portion 482a is formed at the front end of the second link 482 on the front side of the rising portion 481a of the first link 481, and claw portions 482b are provided at the left and right ends of the upper edge of the rising portion 482a. Forming. Then, hook portions 482c having upper and lower cuts are formed at two positions on the left and right sides of the rear surface of the grill door 42, and the hook portions 482b are engaged with the hook portions 482c. The second link 482 is pivotally attached to the grill door 42 with the hook portion 482c as an axis. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the upwardly raised pieces as shown in FIG. 2 are positioned behind the cut and raised pieces 453 of the bottom plate portion 452 of the dish receiving frame 45 and on the left and right sides of the horizontal center portion of the bottom plate portion 452. 454 is formed, and the rear end portion of the second link 482 is pivotally attached to the cut and raised piece 454 by a shaft 482d.

  A shaft 481c, which is a pivot portion of the first link 481 with respect to the grill door 42, a hook portion 482c, which is a pivot portion of the second link 482 with respect to the grill door 42, and a shaft 481d, which is a pivot portion of the first link 481 with respect to the dish receiving frame 45. In addition, the positional relationship of the shaft 482d as the pivotally attached portion of the second link 482 with respect to the dish receiving frame 45 is such that the line connecting the shaft 481c and the hooking portion 482c is parallel to the line connecting the shaft 481d and the shaft 482d, and The distance between the shaft 481c and the hook portion 482c is set to be equal to the distance between the shaft 481d and the shaft 482d. As a result, the grill door 42 is movable in parallel in the vertical direction with respect to the dish receiving frame 45.

  When the handle 421 of the grill door 42 is reached and the grill door 42 is pulled forward, the tray receiving frame 45 is pulled out to the front of the grill warehouse 41 via the parallel link mechanism 48 as shown in FIG. Then, when the hand hung on the handle portion 421 is lowered, the grill door 42 is lowered by its own weight. At this time, due to the action of the parallel link mechanism 48, the grill door 42 is lowered with respect to the tray receiving frame 45 without tilting forward as shown in FIG. 5. Therefore, the upper part of the grill door 42 heated to a high temperature does not displace toward the front as it descends. Therefore, even if the user stands at a relatively close position in front of the grill 4, there is no possibility that the upper portion of the grill door 42 touches the arm or the like when the hand placed on the handle portion 421 of the grill door 42 is lowered. Therefore, even when the kitchen is small and a large space cannot be secured in front of the grill, the usability is improved.

  A stopper portion 482e extending backward is provided at the rear end of the second link 482, and further lowering of the grill door 42 is prevented when the stopper portion 482e contacts the bottom plate portion 452 of the tray receiving frame 45. Is done. The lower end position of the grill door 42 regulated by the stopper portion 482e is set so that the upper end of the grill door 42 has the same height as the grill 43. Therefore, the food to be cooked can be put on and taken out of the grill net 42 without being obstructed by the grill door 42, and handling of the food to be cooked becomes easy.

  By the way, in order to prevent wobbling of the grill door 42, it is necessary to make the distance between the shaft 481c and the hook portion 482c and the distance between the shaft 481d and the shaft 482d longer than a certain length. In the present embodiment, the shaft 481c, which is the pivotally attached portion of the first link 481 with respect to the grill door 42, is provided on the lateral side surface of the grill door 42. Therefore, the second link 482 provided on the rear surface of the grill door 42 is pivotally attached. The shaft 481c is positioned in front of the hooking portion 482c as a part. Therefore, the distance between the shaft 481c and the hook portion 482c can be ensured without increasing the vertical distance between the two 481c and 482c. Therefore, the vertical distance between the shafts 481d and 482d, which are the pivoted portions of the first and second links 481 and 482 with respect to the dish receiving frame 45, is not so long, and both shafts 481d and 482d are used as the dish receiving frame. It is possible to arrange the movable rails 451 so as to be within the width in the vertical direction of the movable rails 451 at the side portions. As a result, an increase in the vertical dimension of the entire tray receiving frame 45 including the parallel link mechanism 48 can be suppressed, and an increase in size of the grill 4 can be prevented.
