JP 2000-193248 A

  Conventionally, the operation information of the grill is displayed by lighting or blinking of the confirmation lamp provided on the grill operation tool, but the confirmation lamp provided on the grill operation tool is separated from the grill sideways, When the operation information of the grill is displayed by lighting or blinking the confirmation lamp, it is difficult for the user to understand whether the operation information is the operation information of the grill. There was a possibility that it was difficult to recognize the information.

  Incidentally, like the above-described stove with a grill of Patent Document 1, generally, in a stove with a grill, a stove operating tool is disposed on the front surface of the stove body in addition to the grill operating tool. In this case, it is difficult to instantaneously determine which of the plurality of operation tools arranged on the front surface of the stove body is the grill operation tool. It may be difficult to recognize.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a grill that can display the operation information of the grill in a form that is easily recognized by the user and in a beautiful state. is there.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a stove with a grill provided with a grill that can display the operation information of the grill in a form that is easily recognized by the user and in a beautiful state.

The grill of the present invention is provided with a grille having an opening on the front surface, and a door for opening and closing the opening of the grille, and the first characteristic configuration thereof is:
A horizontally long light guide for operating state display is provided on the door in a state where the front surface is a light emitting surface that emits light toward the front of the door and the end surface in the longitudinal direction is a light incident surface. And
A light emitting unit for supplying light to the light incident surface when the door is closed is provided at a location adjacent to the opening of the grill cabinet,
The rear surface of the light guide is positioned closer to the light emitting surface with increasing distance from the light incident surface with respect to the light incident direction incident along the longitudinal direction of the light guide from the light incident surface. Formed in an inclined state,
An unevenness for reflecting light incident from the light incident surface to the light emitting surface is formed on the rear surface of the light guide so as to repeat along the longitudinal direction of the light guide.

That is, when the door that opens and closes the front opening of the grill cabinet is in a closed state, the light of the light emitting portion provided at a location adjacent to the opening of the grill cabinet is a horizontally elongated light guide for operating state indication provided on the door. The light enters the light guide through the light incident surface of the body.
When light enters the light guide, light is emitted from the light emitting surface of the light guide toward the front of the door, and by the radiation of light toward the front of the door, the grille Driving information is displayed.

That is, the operation information of the grill is displayed in a form in which light is emitted from the light emitting surface of the light guide provided on the door toward the front of the door.
And since the state where light was emitted toward the front of the door from the light emitting surface in the horizontally long light guide provided on the door can be recognized by the user as the state where the door of the grill is shining. Thus, the operation information of the grill displayed by the light emission from the light emitting surface of the light guide is easily recognized by the user as the operation information of the grill.

  As a result of extensive research, the inventor of the present invention displays the operation information of the grill in a form that is easy for the user to recognize when the grill storage door is lit up. Although it is found that the power supply configuration is complicated and it is difficult to ensure durability, the grill storage door cannot be provided with a light emitting part for practical production. If a structure is adopted in which a light guide is provided on the door of the cabinet and a light emitting unit that requires power supply is provided at a location adjacent to the opening of the grill cabinet, the grill cabinet is displayed in order to display the operation information of the grill. The door of the grill cabinet is in a state where the door of the grill is shining by emitting light from a wide range in the lateral width direction of the door toward the front of the door with a horizontally elongated light guide. It was found that can be recognized accurately.

  Further, according to the first characteristic configuration, the light incident direction in which the rear surface of the horizontally long light guide is incident along the longitudinal direction of the light guide from the light incident surface that is the end surface in the longitudinal direction of the light guide On the other hand, it is formed so as to be inclined so as to be located on the light emission surface side as it is farther from the light incident surface, and the back surface of the light guide has an unevenness for reflecting the light incident from the light incident surface to the light emission surface. Since it is formed in a form that repeats along the longitudinal direction of the light body, the light incident from the light incident surface is dispersed from the light emitting surface along the entire light emitting surface along the longitudinal direction of the light guide. Since it can radiate | emit, the driving | operation information of a grill can be displayed in the beautiful state which radiates | emits light uniformly from the whole light emission surface along the longitudinal direction of a horizontally long light guide.

  In other words, the rear surface of the light guide is positioned closer to the light emitting surface with increasing distance from the light incident surface with respect to the light incident direction incident along the longitudinal direction of the light guide from the light incident surface. Since it is formed in an inclined state, the light incident from the light incident surface tends to reach the entire rear surface along the longitudinal direction of the light guide.

  And since the unevenness | corrugation which reflects the light which injected from the light-incidence surface in the light emission surface is repeated on the back surface of a light guide along the longitudinal direction of a light guide, the light which injected from the light-incidence surface is formed. Of these, the light that has reached the portion near the light incident surface on the rear surface of the light guide tends to be reflected by the portion near the light incident surface in the light emitting surface, and among the light incident from the light incident surface, The light that has reached the part of the rear surface of the light guide that is away from the light incident surface tends to be reflected by the part of the light emitting surface that is away from the light incident surface. Light that has reached the intermediate part between the part away from the light incident surface tends to be reflected by the intermediate part between the part near the light incident surface and the part away from the light incident surface on the light emitting surface. Uniformly emits light from the entire light emitting surface along the longitudinal direction of the light body It can be in the state.

  In short, according to the first characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, it is possible to provide a grill that can display the operation information of the grill in a beautiful state and in a form that is easily recognized by the user.

The second feature configuration of the grill of the present invention is in addition to the first feature configuration described above,
The light guide is provided in a state extending from the center in the width direction of the door to the left and right, and in the state where the left and right end surfaces in the longitudinal direction are the light incident surfaces,
A state in which a left rear surface portion of the rear surface of the light guide body is inclined so as to be closer to the light emitting surface with increasing distance from the left light incident surface with respect to the light incident direction of the left light incident surface. And the right rear surface portion of the rear surface of the light guide is closer to the light incident surface of the right light incident surface, the further away from the light incident surface on the right side, It is characterized by being formed so as to be inclined so as to approach.

  That is, since the light guide is provided in a state extending from the center in the width direction of the door of the grill cabinet to the left and right, light is directed toward the front of the door from a large range including the central portion in the width direction of the door of the grill cabinet. Therefore, it is possible to display the operation information of the grill in a state where it can be recognized more easily.

  In addition, the light guide has left and right end surfaces in the longitudinal direction as light incident surfaces, and the left rear surface portion of the rear surface of the light guide has a left incident surface with respect to the light incident direction of the left light incident surface. The right rear surface portion of the rear surface of the light guide is formed on the right side with respect to the light incident direction of the right light incident surface. Light that is incident on the light incident surface on the left side of the light guide and radiates forward from the left side portion of the light guide because it is formed so as to be closer to the light emission surface as it is farther from the light incident surface. Then, the light incident from the light incident surface on the right side of the light guide can be converted to light that radiates forward from the right side portion of the light guide.

  In this way, the light incident from the left light incident surface of the light guide is set as light that radiates forward from the left portion of the light guide, and the light incident from the right light incident surface of the light guide is Since the light can be emitted forward from the right side portion, even if the light guide is in a large range in the lateral width direction of the door, the light is emitted from the entire light emission surface along the longitudinal direction of the light guide. Can be radiated uniformly.

  That is, in a state where the light guide exists in a large range in the lateral width direction of the door, one of the left and right end faces of the light guide is used as the light incident surface, and the rear surface of the light guide is used as the light on the light incident surface. It is conceivable that the incident light is inclined so that it is closer to the light emitting surface as it is farther from the light incident surface. In this case, the light incident from the light incident surface is in the longitudinal direction of the light guide. However, the amount of light reaching the portion of the rear surface away from the light incident surface is less than the amount of light reaching the portion of the rear surface close to the light incident surface. Since it tends to be considerably less than the amount, it becomes difficult to emit light uniformly from the entire light emitting surface along the longitudinal direction of the light guide.

  On the other hand, according to the second characteristic configuration, even if the light guide is in a large range in the lateral width direction of the door, light is emitted from the entire light emitting surface along the longitudinal direction of the light guide. Since it can radiate | emit uniformly, it can radiate | emit light toward the front of a door in a uniform state from the large range in the width direction of the door of a grill warehouse.

  In short, according to the second characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, in addition to the operational effects of the first characteristic configuration, by emitting light from the large range in the lateral width direction of the door of the grill cabinet toward the front of the door. It is possible to display the operation information of the grill in a more easily recognizable state, and to emit light toward the front of the door in a uniform state from a large range in the horizontal width direction of the door of the grill cabinet. Can provide a grill that can.

The third characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention is in addition to the first or second characteristic configuration described above,
The light guide is configured in a form in which the light incident surface is positioned on the inner side of the edge in the lateral width direction of the door,
An auxiliary light guide that guides light from the light emitting unit to the light incident surface is provided on the door in a state of being connected to a lateral side of the light guide.

  That is, the light guide is configured in such a form that the light incident surface is positioned on the inner side of the edge in the lateral width direction of the door, in other words, the light guide has the horizontal end of the door of the grill cabinet. The operation information of the grill is displayed in a state where it is configured to exist in the excluded portion and the portion excluding the lateral end portion of the door of the grill cabinet is shining.

  And if a light guide is comprised in the form which positions a light-incidence surface inward rather than the edge of the width direction of a door, it will be in the state which the light-incidence surface of a light guide and a light emission part leave | separate greatly. However, the light from the light emitting unit is guided by the auxiliary light guide and is incident on the light incident surface of the light guide.

  In other words, in order to display the operation information of the grill in a form that can be easily recognized by the user, it is not always necessary to make the entire door in the horizontal width direction shine when the grill storage door is lit. It is sufficient that the portion excluding the end portion shines, and the state where the portion excluding the lateral end portion of the door shines rather than the state where the entire width direction of the door shines, rather than the grill storage. It is also conceivable that it is easy to recognize that the door is shining.

  Thus, when displaying the operation information of the grill in a state where the portion excluding the lateral end portion of the door is shining, the light guide is present in the portion excluding the lateral end portion of the door of the grill cabinet, and the light emission is performed. Since the light from the part is guided to the light incident surface of the light guide by the auxiliary light guide, it is advantageous in terms of implementation and production.

  In other words, in order to display the operation information of the grill in a state where the portion excluding the side edge of the door is shining, the light guide is formed to have a length over the entire width in the width direction of the door, and then guided. The portion corresponding to the lateral end portion of the door in the light body is configured as a simple light introduction portion, the portion excluding the lateral end portion of the door in the light guide is defined as the light emission portion, and the rear surface is separated from the light introduction portion. It is conceivable to form an unevenness on the rear surface so that the light introduced from the light introduction portion is reflected on the light emitting surface.

  However, integrally forming a light guide having a length over the entire width in the width direction of the door in a state having a light introduction portion and an inclined and uneven rear surface is, for example, a synthetic resin In the case of manufacturing by mold forming, it is difficult to manufacture, for example, distortion is likely to occur after molding.

  On the other hand, in the third feature configuration, a light guide shorter than the lateral width of the door and an auxiliary light guide shorter than the lateral width of the door can be manufactured separately. In addition, the auxiliary light guide can be easily manufactured, which is advantageous in terms of practical manufacturing.

  By the way, the structure in which the light guide that is shorter than the width of the door and the auxiliary light guide that is shorter than the width of the door are separately manufactured is a light guide when multiple types of grills having different widths are used as the grill. While the body is shared by a plurality of types of grills, the auxiliary light guides having a length corresponding to each of the plurality of types of grills are formed, and the doors of the plurality of types of grilles are made to shine. From this point, it is advantageous in terms of production.

  In short, according to the third characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, in addition to the operational effects of the first or second characteristic configuration, the grill warehouse door is in a state of being lit with a configuration advantageous in terms of production. It is possible to provide a grill that can display the operation information of the grill in a form in which it is easy to recognize.

The fourth characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention is in addition to the third characteristic configuration described above,
A sealing member that prevents liquid from entering between the light guide and the auxiliary light guide and transmits light is disposed between the light guide and the auxiliary light guide. Features.

  That is, since a sealing member is provided between the light guide and the auxiliary light guide to prevent liquid intrusion between the light guide and the auxiliary light guide and transmit light. It can be avoided that the liquid enters between the body and the auxiliary light guide to prevent the light from the auxiliary light guide from being appropriately incident on the light guide.

  In other words, since the door of the grill cabinet is cleaned with hot water, there is a risk that hot water may enter between the light guide and the auxiliary light guide at this time. There is a risk that liquid such as hot water may enter between the light body, but since the sealing member is disposed between the light guide body and the auxiliary light guide body, the light guide body and the auxiliary light guide body It is possible to maintain the state in which light from the auxiliary light guide is appropriately incident on the light guide by suppressing the intrusion of liquid such as hot water between the two.

  In short, according to the fourth characteristic configuration of the grill of the present invention, in addition to the operational effects of the third characteristic configuration, it is possible to suppress the penetration of liquid such as hot water between the light guide and the auxiliary light guide. Thus, it is possible to provide a grill that can maintain a state in which light from the auxiliary light guide is appropriately incident on the light guide.
