Description

  The present invention relates to a top unit of a system kitchen that is applied to a system kitchen in which a cooking container is placed on a top plate and induction heating cooking is possible via a coil unit.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the system kitchen 50 installed in the kitchen includes a sink cabinet 51, a stove cabinet 52 installed adjacent to the sink cabinet 51, and a single top plate 53 covering them. ing. In the system kitchen 50, a sink 54 is formed in a sink area A that covers the sink cabinet 51 of the top plate 53, and hot water is supplied from the faucet 61 to the sink 54. A rectangular opening 56 is cut out near the front portion of the stove area B that covers the stove cabinet 52, and one stove 55 is dropped onto the stove cabinet 52 from the opening 56. In addition, a cooking table unit region C is formed between the sink region A and the stove region B, and the user cooks food on the top plate 53 pasted on the upper surface of the cooking table unit region C. Or put utensils or tableware necessary for cooking.

  Here, the system kitchen is generally a modular and coordinated combination with various floor cabinets for storage, a work top on the floor cabinet, and a sink or cooking device as necessary. It is a type kitchen, and in a broad sense includes a partition storage cabinet and a dining counter. These worktops or counters are collectively referred to below as the top board.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of use in the stove area B and the counter unit area C.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, first, in the stove area B, the main body case 81 constituting the main body of the stove 55 is fixedly mounted in a lowered state from the top plate. A plurality of gas burners 84 are disposed in the main body of the stove 55, and a cover 83 provided on the upper surface is provided with a burner opening 85 through which each gas burner 84 faces. Furthermore, a virtues 86 are disposed above the burner opening 85, and the virtues 86 along the bottom surface of the cooking pan 74 or the like in which the flame of the burner or the hot air generated by the flames is placed on the claws of the virtues 86 is provided. It is designed to be released to the outside. That is, by burning the gas burner 84, it becomes possible to heat-cook the food in the cooking pan 74 placed on the virtues 86.

  In the cooking table unit area C, a cutting board 91 for actually chopping and processing food, a stainless steel tableware bowl 92 for drying washed dishes, and the like are placed. Furthermore, cooking equipment and the like necessary for actual cooking such as the toaster 65, the juicer 69, the rice cooker 71, and the like are arranged narrowly. These cooking appliances are supplied with power via an outlet 61 and a plug 67.

  As an alternative to various cooking devices such as the toaster 65, juicer 69, rice cooker 71 and the like, various cooking devices such as a whisk and a dishwasher may be arranged in the cooking table unit region C. Will be supplied.

  By the way, while a lot of recipes are being studied, the necessity of operating many cooking devices at the same time is increasing in recent years when a wide variety of cooking, which is a variety of Japanese, Western, and Eastern and Western, has become feasible at home.

  However, in order to simultaneously operate many cooking appliances in the conventional system kitchen as described above, many cooking appliances must be arranged in the cooking unit unit area C having a limited area. For this reason, the space for placing other tableware including the tableware bowl 92 and the space for processing food using the cutting board 91 are inevitably reduced. In addition, in the stove area B adjacent to the cooking stove unit area C, food or the like put in the cooking pan may be boiled at the same time using the gas stove, but the heat from the gas stove on the cooking stove unit area C Since heat may be transferred to the cooking equipment that is placed, further restrictions are imposed on the location of the cooking equipment.

  On the other hand, when cooking many foods at the same time using many gas stoves, it is necessary to increase the number of gas stoves. There is a case where it is desired to set the occupation rate of the unit area C low. Further, in the existing system kitchen shown in FIG. 13, the main body case is fixedly mounted in a state of being dropped from the top plate, and it has not been possible to add a gas stove and move the gas stove area significantly.

  Therefore, it is desired to realize such cooking more efficiently by changing the occupation ratio of the cooking table unit area C and the stove area B on the top plate according to the user's intention.

  In particular, in order to meet such demands, the most important issue is how to improve the degree of freedom of arrangement of the gas stove. In order to solve such a problem, a method of using an induction heating device that performs cooking using electromagnetic induction as an alternative to the gas stove has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  As shown in FIG. 14, for example, the induction heating device 100 disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a load unit 98 represented by a cooking pan and the like, and a magnetism generation unit 99 that induction heats the load unit 98. The generating unit 99 is provided with a top plate 103 for placing the load unit 98, a primary coil 104 that is provided below the top plate 103 and generates a high-frequency magnetic field for performing the induction heating, and the primary coil 104. And the inverter 107 is supplied with power via a power cord 109.

Since the user can arrange the magnetism generating unit 99 at an arbitrary position on the top board, the induction heating device 100 and the cooking device can be separated without distinguishing the cooking table unit region C and the stove region B. It is possible to enjoy variations in the arrangement between them.
JP-A-5-184471 JP 2006-230516 A JP 2006-230517 A

  However, when this conventional induction heating device 100 is used as an alternative to the above-described gas stove, not only the load portion 98 but also the magnetic generator 99 main body must be placed on the top plate. The magnetism generator 99 is wide in width and depth because of mounting various devices such as the primary coil 104 and the inverter 107, and the thickness is increased. For this reason, the magnetism generating unit 99 itself placed on the top plate will also occupy a vast space, and the degree of freedom of arrangement in other cooking equipment cannot be secured, and consequently on the top plate. There arises a problem that the space cannot be used effectively.

  Moreover, in this induction heating apparatus 100, since the power cord 109 connected to the inverter 107 is placed on the top plate, the troublesomeness cannot be eliminated. In particular, when many cooking devices are used at the same time, the power cord 109 must be connected by a so-called octopus leg wiring using the plug 67 in addition to the outlet 61, and the current that can flow is limited and the limitation is imposed. If an excess current is passed, the power cord itself may heat up and cause a fire. In addition, the arrangement position of the induction heating device 100 on the top plate is governed solely by the length of the power cord 109, the position of the outlet provided in the system kitchen, and the like, and there are certain restrictions on the degree of freedom of such arrangement. It will take.

  For this reason, for example, in Patent Document 2, a space corresponding to at least a position where the cooking container can be placed is formed in the lower part of the top plate on which the cooking container is placed, and the coil unit can be freely moved in this space And a technique for identifying the placement position of the cooking container on the top plate and moving the coil unit to the identified placement position of the cooking container.

  Thereby, even when the cooking container is placed at an arbitrary position on the top plate, the placement position can be automatically identified, and the coil unit can be moved to the placement position. Furthermore, the cooking container can be induction heated by the high frequency magnetic field generated by the coil unit. In other words, the user only has to place the cooking container on a desired location on the top board, and the system kitchen automatically performs all the adjustment of the positions of the remaining coil units. Even when the variation is slightly modified, the burden of labor can be reduced.

  Further, in Patent Document 3, a space corresponding to a position where at least the cooking container can be placed is formed in the lower part of the top plate on which the cooking container is placed, and the coil unit is fixedly disposed in the space. There is also disclosed a system kitchen in which a marking is provided on the top board so that the user can identify this arrangement position.

  That is, a common point in the disclosed techniques of Patent Documents 2 and 3 is that a space in which at least the coil unit can be arranged is formed in the lower part of the top plate. The top plate is preferably made of glass. This is because the cooking container is configured to be induction-heated via the coil unit, and therefore, it is necessary to configure the cooking container with a material excellent in heat resistance, impact resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength.

  However, in the technologies disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above, a space for arranging the coil unit exists in the lower part of the glass top plate. If a pressing force or an impact force is applied from the top to the bottom under such a structure, the glass top plate may be broken. In particular, when the subject who applies the pressing force or impact force is a user of the system kitchen, there is a possibility that the glass piece of the broken top plate may be injured. For this reason, it was necessary to improve safety by providing the system kitchen itself with a structure that can reduce the pressing force and impact force applied to the top plate from the top to the bottom.

  Therefore, the present invention has been devised in view of the above-described problems, and the object thereof is to have a glass top plate in which a space for arranging a coil unit exists in the lower part. To provide a top unit of a system kitchen that can improve safety by reducing the pressing force and impact force applied from the top to the bottom of the top unit of the system kitchen. is there.

  The top unit of the system kitchen to which the present invention is applied is devised in view of the above-described problems, and is made of a glass top plate on which a cooking container can be placed, and the periphery of the bottom surface of the top plate. Is provided with a side wall in order to form an open space in which a frame body that is fitted through a cushioning material and a coil unit that induction-heats the cooking container by a magnetic field is disposed, and at the top of the side wall And a housing for supporting the frame.

  The top unit of the system kitchen to which the present invention is applied includes a glass top plate on which a cooking container can be placed, a frame in which the periphery of the bottom surface of the top plate is fitted via a cushioning material, and a magnetic field. In order to form an open space in which the coil unit for inductively heating the cooking container is provided, a side wall is provided around it, and a housing for supporting the frame body at the top of the side wall is provided. The pressing force from the top plate can be reduced.

  In particular, in the present invention, the frame body may be supported via the support structures that protrude from the top of the side wall at intervals. Thereby, even when any pressing force F is applied from the user to the glass top plate, the frame body can be bent downward with the support structure as a fulcrum, and the impact can be absorbed. It is possible to prevent breakage of the glass as a material constituting the top plate, and to prevent the user from being injured by the broken glass pieces of the top plate.

  Hereinafter, as the best mode for carrying out the present invention, a system kitchen applied when cooking food in a restaurant or home will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  A system kitchen 1 to which the present invention is applied is a system kitchen having at least a work top or a counter (hereinafter referred to as a top plate), and covers a cabinet 11 and an upper surface of the cabinet 11 as shown in FIG. And a sink 14 formed in the sink area A adjacent to the top plate 13, and a faucet 15 for supplying hot water to the sink 14. In the following, the case where the system kitchen 1 is applied as a so-called island kitchen in which the kitchen work table is separated from the wall surface and is provided in an island type will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to such a case. Further, the present invention may be applied to a so-called one-row kitchen in which work tables with stove are arranged in one row, or a so-called L-type kitchen in which sinks and stoves are arranged in an L-shape.

  For example, the cabinet 11 may be provided with doors and storage drawers (not shown) that are pivotally mounted on the front side so as to be able to be opened in one side. Each of these doors and storage drawers can mainly store kitchen utensils, tableware, and the like. A simple shelf or case may be provided.

  The sink 14 is formed with a draining recess or the like, and a drain outlet is provided on the bottom surface. In the sink 14, the recess and the drain port are integrally formed with each other by a method such as press molding, cast molding, injection molding, or the like. The material of the sink 14 is not particularly limited, but a metal such as a heat-resistant resin or a stainless steel plate can also be used.

  The top plate 13 is composed of a glass plate having a smooth surface. This is because the cooking container is configured to be induction-heated via the coil unit, and therefore, it is necessary to configure the cooking container with a material excellent in heat resistance, impact resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. On the top plate 13, a cooking container represented by a cooking pan or pot for cooking foods and the like, and a cutting board for actually chopping and processing the foods can be placed at any position of the user. It is made into the composition. The top plate 13 is not limited to the case where all the regions are made of the same material, but may be made of a glass plate or the like as described above for a range in which a coil unit to be described later is disposed.

  There may be a plurality of cooking containers placed on the top plate 13 at arbitrary positions. In addition to the cutting board, various cooking containers 20 such as tableware bowls, rice cookers, juicers and the like (not shown) are provided. There is a case where it is placed at an arbitrary position. That is, the top plate 13 is a place where the cooking container 20 may be placed. Therefore, it is necessary to configure the top plate 13 with a material excellent in heat resistance, impact resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. Usually, it is made of heat-resistant glass or ceramics.

  Incidentally, in the system kitchen 1 to which the present invention is applied, the cooking container 20 placed on the top plate 13 is induction-heated using an IH heater. Actually, this induction heating is executed through the coil unit 3 disposed under the top plate 13.

  The coil unit 3 is mounted on a flat base plate 4 that is movably disposed over at least one location. Hereinafter, as shown in FIG. 1, an example in which four rows of base plates 4 a to 4 d are arranged in the longitudinal direction X of the top plate 13 will be described. At this time, the base plates 4 a to 4 c are controlled based on an instruction from the user, and the base plate 4 d is automatically controlled to move toward the cooking container 20 placed on the top plate 13.

  The base plates 4 a to 4 d are assumed to be movable in the width direction Y of the top plate 13. In addition, on the top plate 13, the marking according to the location where these base plates 4a-4c are arranged may be drawn.

  The base plate 4 is disposed in a space 19 below the top plate 13. The space 19 is configured by surrounding the top plate 13 and the bottom plate with side walls described later. Incidentally, the space 19 is formed on the top plate 13 so as to correspond to a position where the cooking container 20 can be placed.

  For example, the configuration described in JP-A-2006-230516 may be applied to the configuration of the coil unit 3 and the configuration of the moving mechanism.

  Thus, in the system kitchen 1, the coil units 3 a to 3 d (base plates 4 a to 4 d) can be moved in the width direction Y, so that cooking containers such as pots are placed in almost all areas on the top plate 13. Dielectric heating can be used. That is, in the system kitchen 1 of the present embodiment, an area other than the sink area A can be functioned as a cooking area D having both functions of a conventional stove area and a cooking table unit area. For this reason, the user can perform cooking by heating at an arbitrary position on the top plate 13 and can perform cooking by placing a cutting board or the like at an arbitrary position on the top plate 13. Various cooking appliances can be placed at arbitrary positions on the plate 13.

  Next, the structure of the top board unit 7 applied with respect to the system kitchen 1 to which this invention is applied is demonstrated.

  FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the top plate unit 7, and FIG. 3 is an assembled perspective view of the top plate unit 7. The top plate unit 7 includes a top plate 13, a backing material 171 provided around the bottom surface of the top plate 13, and a periphery of the bottom surface of the top plate 13 provided with the backing material 171 through a buffer material 172. A frame body 173 to be fitted and a housing 174 for supporting the frame body 173 are provided.

  The backing material 171 is made of a material such as a steel plate having a thickness of 0.5 mm. The backing material 171 may be attached to the glass top plate 13 with a vinyl adhesive tape, or may be attached with an elastic adhesive or the like. A plurality of backing materials 171 are arranged at intervals over at least the periphery of the bottom surface of the top plate 13. Further, the backing material 171 may be arranged in the same manner around the moving area of the coil units 3a to 3d (base plates 4a to 4d). The backing material 171 is configured in a rectangular shape, and the plate thickness is preferably configured in a range of 0.3 to 0.5 mm. This is because it is necessary to follow the deflection (vibration) of the shock absorption characteristics of the glass.

  The buffer material 172 is made of a material such as sponge, rubber, or silicon, for example. The buffer material 172 is interposed between the frame body 173 and the top plate 13, is cut in advance according to the shape of the frame body 173, and is placed on the frame body 173.

  The frame body 173 is made of a metal such as an aluminum alloy and has a frame body perimeter corresponding to the size of the periphery of the top plate 13. As shown in FIG. 4, the frame body 173 includes a peripheral wall portion 161 and a peripheral bottom plate 162, and an installation plate 163 that extends between the peripheral bottom plates 162 is provided at a predetermined interval. The peripheral wall portion 161 is erected in a substantially vertical direction, and the lower end of the peripheral wall portion 161 is bent inward in a substantially horizontal direction to form a peripheral bottom plate 162.

  Inside the housing 174, the coil units 3a to 3d (base plates 4a to 4d) are arranged. The housing 174 has an open space 177 inside the coil units 3a to 3d where it is necessary to arrange the coil units 3a to 3d. The open space 177 is configured by covering the periphery with side walls 178a to 178d. Further, the open space 177 may be divided for each movement region of the base plates 4a to 4d, or may be separated from each other via the inner wall 179. Incidentally, the construction plate 163 in the frame body 173 is provided at a pitch corresponding to the location of the inner wall 179.

  Note that the structure of the casing 174 is provided with the above-described inner wall 179 when the coil units 3a to 3d that can be driven in one direction as described above are arranged in a plurality of rows. When the units 3a to 3d move in the biaxial direction, the configuration of the inner wall 179 may be omitted. Further, when the driving direction of the coil units 3a to 3d is set in the direction perpendicular to the width direction Y, the inner wall 179 is configured along that direction. Further, the number of the coil units 3a to 3d is not limited to four, and any number of the coil units 3a to 3d may be configured. Therefore, the shape, position, and the like of the inner wall 179 depend on the actual number of coil units 3 arranged. It will be adjusted in advance.

  The shape of the frame body 173 is determined according to the shape of the side wall 178 and the inner wall 179 in the housing 174, and the cutting form of the cushioning material 172 and the arrangement position of the backing material 171 are determined accordingly. become.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the structure of the top portion 180 of the side wall 178. FIG. 5 (a) shows a perspective view thereof, and FIG. 5 (b) shows a sectional view thereof. The side wall 178 is formed of a steel plate, and the top surface 181 is formed by bending the upper end of the steel plate substantially vertically. Incidentally, the peripheral surface 182 may be formed by bending the upper end of the steel plate further downward in a substantially vertical direction.

  In the top plate unit 7, the frame body 173 is supported by the top portion 180 of the side wall 178. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, a support structure 8 that protrudes discontinuously is provided at the top 180 of the side wall 178, and the frame body 173 is supported via the support structure 8.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in which a nut 183 is used as the support structure 8. In the example of FIG. 6, a groove 186 for a bolt 185 is previously drilled on the peripheral bottom plate 162 of the frame body 173, and the bolt 185 is fitted into the drilled groove 186. Then, the threaded portion of the fitted bolt 185 and the nuts 183 and 184 are screwed together. The nut 183 is only positioned on the top surface 181, and the nut 184 is positioned on the back surface of the top surface 181. That is, the top surface 181 is clamped by the nut 183 and the nut 184, and such clamping is realized through screwing of the nuts 183 and 184 to the bolt 185.

  As a result, only the nut 183 has a shape protruding from the surface of the top surface 181. The nut 183 is used as the support structure 8, and the frame 173 is supported through this. As a result, the peripheral bottom plate 162 in the frame body 173 is not partially in surface contact or line contact with the top portion 180 of the side wall 178 in the housing 174, but only partially through the support structure 8. If it does, it will contact discontinuously.

  As described above, by bringing the frame body 173 into non-continuous contact with the top portion 180 of the side wall 178 in the housing 174 via the support structure 8, the following effects can be obtained.

  FIG. 7 shows a state in which a pressing force F is applied to the top plate 13 from top to bottom. The pressing force F applied to the top plate 13 is transmitted to the frame body 173. When this pressing force F is applied to the frame body 173, a force from the top to the bottom is applied from the peripheral bottom plate 162 that is the bottom surface toward the housing 174. However, the portion of the peripheral bottom surface 162 that is in contact with the nut 183 is supported through the nut 183. However, in the portion where the nut 183 is not present, there is no member to be supported. Will be greatly bent downward.

  That is, when the frame body 173 receives the pressing force F, the frame body 173 is greatly bent downward with the nut 183 as a fulcrum. As a result, the kinetic energy based on the pressing force F can be absorbed by the bending of the frame body 173. If the downward bending of the frame body 173 cannot be generated, the strain energy cannot be absorbed, and the top plate 13 is cracked. On the other hand, in the present invention, the frame 173 can be bent downward as described above even if a pressing force F is applied to the glass top plate 13 by the user. By absorbing the impact, it is possible to prevent the glass constituting the top plate 13 from being broken, and it is possible to prevent the user from being injured by the broken glass pieces of the top plate 13.

  For this reason, in the top plate unit 7 of the system kitchen to which the present invention is applied, the top plate 13 is made of glass in a situation where the cooking container must be induction-heated via the coil unit. In addition, in a situation where it is necessary to create a space for disposing the coil unit at the lower part of the top plate 13, the safety can be further improved.

  The conditions for bending the frame body 173 are parameters such as the material of the frame body 173, the contact area of the nut 183 with the frame body 173, the height of the nut 183, and the arrangement interval of the nut 183. . These parameters are premised on being optimized in advance according to the use environment.

  Here, the contact area of the frame body 173 with respect to the nut 183 is small with respect to the entire area of the peripheral bottom plate 162 in the frame body 173, so that it is understood that the frame body 173 is point-contacted via the nut 183. You can also. By using the nut 183 having a smaller diameter, the contact state with the frame body 173 can be made closer to point contact. However, if the diameter of the nut 183 is too small, the frame 173 may sink into the nut 183 when the pressing force F is applied. Therefore, the diameter of the nut 183 is taken into consideration. Need to be optimized above.

  The top panel unit 7 to which the present invention is applied is not limited to the above-described embodiment. As the support structure 8, for example, a form as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 may be applied.

  In the example of FIG. 8, a groove 186 is previously drilled on the peripheral bottom plate 162 of the frame body 173, and the pin 190 is fitted into the drilled groove 186. Then, the spacer 188 and the washer 189 are inserted through the fitted pin 190. Incidentally, the spacer is positioned on the top surface 181 to the last, and the washer 189 is positioned on the back surface of the top surface 181. A small hole 193 is further drilled in the pin 186, and the snap pin 191 is inserted into the small hole 193 to fix it.

  The spacer 188 is formed with a hole (not shown) through which the pin 190 is inserted. For example, the spacer 188 is manufactured by cutting a steel plate into a predetermined shape, thickness, and size. The spacer 188 plays the same role as the nut 183 described above, and partially supports the bottom surface of the frame body 173. A washer 189 is provided to effectively absorb vibration. Furthermore, although the snap pin 191 is provided to fix the washer 189, a split pin may be used as an alternative to the snap pin 191.

  Similarly, in the example of FIG. 8 described above, when the pressing force F is loaded from the top to the bottom through the top plate 13, the pressing force F is applied to the frame body 173 through the cushioning material 172. Will be communicated. In the portion of the peripheral surface 162 in the frame body 173 that contacts the spacer 188, it is partially supported through the spacer 188. However, in the portion where the spacer 188 does not exist, there is no supporting member. It will be greatly bent downward. For this reason, by absorbing energy based on the pressing force F, it is possible to prevent the glass constituting the top plate 13 from being broken, and it is possible to improve safety.

  In the example of FIG. 9, an E-shaped clip 195 is used as the support structure 8. The E-shaped clip 195 includes a central rod-shaped body 197 having a spherical body 198 provided at the tip, and both clip pieces 196 that are elastically biased toward the spherical body 198 in advance. With such an E-shaped clip 195, the top surface 181 constituting the housing 174 and the peripheral bottom surface 162 constituting the frame body 173 are held. At this time, the spherical body 198 is sandwiched between the top surface 181 and the peripheral bottom surface 162 by being interposed between the top surface 181 and the peripheral bottom surface 162. Since both the clip pieces 196 are elastically biased inward toward the spherical body 198 in advance, the peripheral bottom surface 162 sandwiched between the one clip piece 196 and the spherical body 198, and the one clip piece 196 The top surfaces 181 sandwiched between the spherical bodies 198 can be firmly fixed.

  Of the peripheral bottom surface 162 of the frame body 173, the portion that contacts the spherical body 198 is partially supported through the spherical body 198, but there is no supporting member at the portion where the spherical body 198 does not exist. Therefore, when the pressing force F is applied from the top to the bottom through the top plate 13, it can be greatly bent downward. For this reason, by absorbing energy based on the pressing force F, it is possible to prevent the glass constituting the top plate 13 from being broken, and it is possible to improve safety.

  In particular, the spherical body 198 can have a smaller contact area with the peripheral bottom surface 162 and the top surface 181 than the bolt 183 and the spacer 188, and can be in a state close to a so-called point contact. For this reason, it becomes possible to bend the frame 173 with high efficiency. In addition, since the spherical body 198 can be brought into contact with the frame body 173 via a surface constituted by a curved surface, the frame body can be prevented from being recessed into the spherical body 198. Further, the E-shaped clip 195 is easy to attach and can suppress the vertical displacement of the peripheral bottom surface 162 and the top surface 181. Further, by forming an E shape, the peripheral bottom surface 162 and the top surface can be reduced. It is possible to suppress the horizontal displacement of 181.

  In the example of FIG. 10, the support structure 8 includes a clip 199 and a small piece 201. The clip 199 is elastically biased inward in advance and sandwiches the top surface 181 constituting the housing 174 and the peripheral bottom surface 62 constituting the frame body 173. Due to the presence of the clip 199, it is possible to suppress the vertical displacement of the peripheral bottom surface 162 and the top surface 181 and to suppress the horizontal displacement of the peripheral bottom surface 162 and the top surface 181. Further, the small piece 201 is tapered so that the cross-sectional area decreases from the top to the bottom. By interposing such a small piece 201 between the top surface 181 and the peripheral bottom surface 162, the small piece 201 is sandwiched between the top surface 181 and the peripheral bottom surface 162. By dabbing the small piece 201 formed with the taper as described above, the contact area between the small piece 201 and the peripheral bottom surface 162 can be increased. Can be prevented.

  In the present invention, since the pressing force F applied to the top plate 13 can be reduced due to the presence of the cushioning material 172, the top plate 13 can be further prevented from cracking and the safety can be further improved. be able to. Incidentally, in addition to the cushioning material 172, if there is a configuration of the top plate 13, the frame body 173, and the housing 174, it is possible to reduce the pressing force F even if the support structure 8 is not provided. An effect can be obtained.

  FIG. 11 shows another arrangement example of the buffer material 172. The buffer material 172 is interposed between the periphery 13 b of the bottom surface of the top plate 13 and the peripheral bottom plate 162. In addition to this, a caulking material 203 is interposed between the side surface 13 a of the top plate 13 and the peripheral wall portion 161. The caulking material 203 is made of a material such as sponge, rubber, or silicon, for example. Further, an auxiliary material 204 is interposed in a region surrounded by the caulking material 203, the peripheral wall portion 161, and the buffer material 172.

  By providing the caulking material 203, it is possible to absorb horizontal fluctuations in the top plate 13. Further, the auxiliary material 204 is made of a material such as sponge, and by providing this, there is an advantage that leakage can be prevented before the caulking material is cured when it is an adhesive or the like.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment as the top plate unit 7 as described above, and the top plate unit component in which the top plate 13 and the frame body 173 are separated from the top plate unit 7. Of course, it may be embodied as:
