Description

  The present invention relates to a system kitchen.

  Conventionally, built-in water purifiers in a system kitchen are roughly classified into an under sink type, a top sink type, and a faucet integrated type. Since the undersink type is installed under the sink, the allowable range of the cartridge size is wide and it is possible to achieve high performance and long life, but the connection hose with the faucet becomes relatively long, and the connection hose When a large amount of purified water from which chlorine was removed stayed, there was a possibility that germs would propagate. Also, since the cartridge is installed under the sink, it is difficult to replace the cartridge.

  In the top sink type and the faucet integrated type, cartridge replacement is easier than in the under sink type, but since the cartridge size is limited, it is difficult to achieve high performance and long life at the same time.

  Therefore, a system kitchen is known in which a cartridge storage chamber is defined in a space that rises behind the sink (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2003-125870 A

  However, in the system kitchen as proposed in Patent Document 1 described above, a space rising behind the sink is required, so it is difficult to apply to various kitchen types such as an island type. Variations were limited.

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a system kitchen that can improve the replacement workability while improving the performance and life of a water purifier cartridge, and can be applied to various kitchen types. To do.

  In order to achieve the above object, a system kitchen according to claim 1 of the present invention is a system kitchen provided with a sink that opens on an upper surface of a cabinet, and is open in the vicinity of the sink and on the upper surface of the cabinet. A storage unit for storing the cartridge for water purifier, an opening of the storage unit that can be opened and closed, and a lid member that forms a kitchen top when the opening is closed, the storage unit, and the sink A drainage channel for communicating water from the storage unit to the sink is provided.

  According to the present invention, in the case where the storage unit formed in the upper surface of the cabinet in the vicinity of the sink stores the water purifier cartridge, and the lid member arranged to open and close the opening of the storage unit closes the opening. A drainage channel that configures the kitchen top plate and communicates the storage unit with the sink can guide water from the storage unit to the sink. By opening the lid member and opening the storage unit, the water purifier can be used. The cartridge can be easily replaced. In addition, when the opening is closed by the lid member, the inside is not visually recognized, the volume can be freely set, and a relatively large water purifier cartridge can be accommodated. It is possible to improve the performance and life of the water purifier cartridge. In addition, since the lid member constitutes a kitchen top plate when closing the storage part, the upper area of the storage part can also be effectively used as a kitchen stand, and also gives a complicated impression to the user's appearance. There is no fear, and it can be applied to various kitchens. Therefore, it is possible to improve the replacement workability while improving the performance and life of the water purifier cartridge, and to produce an effect that can be applied to various kitchen types.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a system kitchen according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 and 2 schematically show a main part of a system kitchen according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a plan view and FIG. 2 is a sectional side view. In FIG. 2, hatching indicating a cross section is omitted for easy understanding of the drawing. The system kitchen illustrated here is configured by arranging a storage unit 10 for storing the water purifier cartridge 1 in the vicinity of a sink 11 that opens on the upper surface of the cabinet.

  The storage unit 10 is a recess that is disposed near and on the side of the sink 11 and has an opening 10a on the upper surface of the cabinet. The bottom surface of the storage unit 10 is located above the bottom surface of the sink 11. Further, a drainage channel 12 is attached to the storage unit 10 and communicates with the sink 11 through the drainage channel 12. The drainage channel 12 is for guiding water from the storage unit 10 to the sink 11.

  The opening 10 a on the upper surface of the storage unit 10 can be freely opened and closed by the lid member 13. The lid member 13 is swingably provided by being hinged to one side edge of the storage unit 10. When the lid member 13 is opened, the storage unit 10 is opened, and the inside of the storage unit 10 is visible from above. On the other hand, when the lid member 13 is closed, the opening 10a on the upper surface of the storage unit 10 is opened. Close and configure the kitchen top, which is the top surface of the cabinet.

  In addition, a cartridge mounting portion 14 is placed in advance in such a storage portion 10. The cartridge attachment portion 14 has, for example, a disk shape, and two pipes 15 are connected to the cartridge attachment portion 14. Here, one of the two pipes 15 is an introduction pipe 15a for guiding the raw water from the faucet, and the other one is a delivery for sending the water purified by the water purifier cartridge 1 to the faucet. This is the pipe 15b.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cartridge attachment portion 14 is for attaching the water purifier cartridge 1 by connecting with the connection portion 2 previously installed in the water purifier cartridge 1 by, for example, a bayonet method. The water purifier cartridge 1 attached to the cartridge attachment portion 14 is placed in a sideways posture on the storage portion 10. That is, the storage unit 10 itself has a role as a holder of the water purifier cartridge 1.

  Reference numeral 16 in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a water faucet, and reference numeral 17 is a water pipe. Reference numeral 18 denotes a switching lever that discharges the water sent from the water pipe 17 from the faucet of the faucet 16 or sends the water sent from the water pipe 17 to the introduction pipe 15a. It is an operation member for performing switching of whether to purify water with the cartridge 1 for water purifiers accommodated in the water. Here, the water purified by the water purifier cartridge 1 reaches the faucet 16 through the delivery pipe 15b and is discharged from the faucet.

  According to the system kitchen which is the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the storage unit 10 stores the water purifier cartridge 1 by opening 10a in the vicinity of the sink 11 and on the upper surface of the cabinet. When the lid member 13 disposed so as to be able to open and close the opening 10a closes the opening 10a, a kitchen top plate is formed, and the drainage channel 12 communicating the storage unit 10 and the sink 11 is connected to the sink 10 from the storage unit 10 Since the water can be guided to 11, the water purifier cartridge 1 can be easily replaced by opening the lid member 13 to open the opening 10a of the storage unit 10. In addition, when the opening 10 a is closed by the lid member 13, the inside of the storage unit 10 is not visually recognized, and the volume thereof can be freely set, and the water purifier cartridge 1 having a relatively large size can be set. The water purifier cartridge 1 can be accommodated, and the performance and life of the water purifier cartridge 1 can be increased. Moreover, since the cover member 13 constitutes a kitchen top plate when closing the opening 10a of the storage unit 10, the upper area of the storage unit 10 can also be effectively used as a kitchen table, and the appearance of the user There is no fear of giving a complicated impression, and it can be applied to various variations of the kitchen.

  Therefore, it is possible to improve the replacement workability while improving the performance and life of the water purifier cartridge 1 and to apply to various kitchen types.

  According to the system kitchen, the storage unit 10 is formed in the vicinity of the sink 11 and has an opening 10a on the upper surface of the cabinet, and stores the water purifier cartridge 1. Therefore, the distance between the faucet 16 and the water purifier cartridge 1 is increased. The length of the two connecting portions, that is, the introduction pipe 15a and the delivery pipe 15b can be shortened. In particular, since the length of the delivery pipe 15b can be shortened, there is no fear that a large amount of water purified by the water purifier cartridge 1 will remain, and it is hygienic.

  Further, according to the system kitchen, the drainage channel 12 that connects the storage unit 10 and the sink 11 can guide water from the storage unit 10 to the sink 11, so that even if there is a water leak or the like in the storage unit 10. The leaked water can be guided to the sink 11 and there is no possibility that the leaked water stays inside the storage unit 10.

  FIG.4 and FIG.5 shows the modification of the principal part of the system kitchen which is embodiment of this invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to what has the same structure as the example mentioned above, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As illustrated here, the water purifier cartridge 1 stored in the storage unit 10 may be provided with a grip 3 on the side thereof. With such a water purifier cartridge 1, the user can easily carry it by gripping the grip portion 3.

  Further, while holding the grip portion 3, the storage portion 10 having the upper surface opening 10 a is opened from above, the connection portion 2 of the water purifier cartridge 1 is fitted to the cartridge mounting portion 14, and rotated by 90 °, for example. The water purifier cartridge 1 may be attached to the cartridge attachment portion 14. By rotating 90 ° in this way, the grip portion 3 is accommodated in the storage portion 10, and the upper surface opening 10 a can be closed by the lid member 13. In other words, when the water purifier cartridge 1 cannot be rotated by 90 °, the grip portion 3 does not fit in the storage portion 10 and protrudes upward through the opening 10a on the upper surface, thereby closing the lid member 13 Therefore, the user cannot recognize that the water purifier cartridge 1 is insufficiently attached.

  As described above, the system kitchen according to the present invention can be applied to various types of kitchen types and is useful.
