  The storage box 14 houses the electric lifting mechanism 17 of the lifting shelf 8A and the like, and the lifting shelf 8A raised by the electric lifting mechanism 17 is stored from the lower surface opening side (see FIG. 3). ).

  A duct 18 connected to the duct portion 9a of the ventilation hood 9 when the ventilation hood 9 rises is fixed to the kitchen wall surface at the left side position of the storage box 14 inside the lift shelf unit 2 (A). Reference numeral 45 denotes an incombustible board provided between the storage box 14 and the duct 18, which is an inorganic plate such as calcium silicate, and insulates the space between the duct 18 and the storage box 14. is there.

  The ventilation hood 9 attached to the lower part of the elevating shelf 8A is formed in a large rectangular shape facing the electromagnetic cooker 4, and has a right rear corner portion (in plan view) in relation to the duct 18 at the left side position. About 1/4 of the area) is attached to the lower part of the lifting shelf 8A.

  Guide rails 20 extending in the up-down direction are respectively fixed at intermediate positions in the front-rear (depth) direction of the inner surfaces of the left side plate 14 b and the right side plate 14 c of the storage box 14.

  An L-shaped rigid reinforcing plate 21 extending in the front-rear (depth) direction with a length substantially equal to the front-rear (depth) width is fixed to the upper left and upper right parts of the elevating shelf 8A with screws. An upper bracket 22 extending in the up-down direction is fixed to a substantially middle portion in the length direction of the plate 21 with a screw in a cross shape.

  Sliders (guide members) 23 that are fitted to the guide rails 20 and slide in the vertical direction along the guide rails 20 are respectively fixed to the upper brackets 22 with screws.

  Therefore, the elevating shelf 8 </ b> A is moved up and down along the guide rail 20 of the storage box 14 by the slider 23.

  An electric motor 25, two drums 26 driven by the electric motor 25, and two guide pulleys 27 are arranged on the inner surface of the upper plate 14 a of the storage box 14, and are wound around each drum 26. The two belts 28 are pulled out to the left and right, respectively, bent downward by the guide pulleys 27, and then connected to the left and right upper brackets 22 of the lifting shelf 8A.

  Accordingly, when the belts 28 are rewound (relaxed) from the drums 26 by the normal rotation of the electric motor 25, the elevating shelf 8 </ b> A is lowered, and each belt is attached to each drum 26 by the reverse rotation of the electric motor 25. By lifting (pulling) 28, the elevating shelf 8A is raised.

  A sensor guide 30 that is slightly inclined with respect to the guide rail 20 is fixed to the inner surface of the left side plate 14b of the storage box 14, and a sensor guide 30 guides the reinforcing plate 21 on the upper left side of the lifting shelf 8A.
