  However, although the cooking apparatus installation opening opened on the countertop of the system kitchen is generally rectangular in plan view, it may be formed to have a relatively large opening area to correspond to various cooking apparatuses. is there. Therefore, a relatively large gap may be formed between the cooking apparatus installation opening and the peripheral wall of the main body case.

  And, when the gap between the cooking device installation opening and the peripheral wall of the main body case is relatively large, even if the fixing bracket intervenes in the gap, the fixing bracket is within the cooking device installation opening. There is a disadvantage that the cooking device is not fixed to the countertop without coming into contact with the circumferential surface.

  In view of the above-mentioned point, the present invention aims at providing a cooking device which can fix a main part case certainly to a cooking device installation opening established at a counter top of a system kitchen.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a main body case fitted in a cooking device installation opening provided in a countertop of a system kitchen, and fixing means for fixing the main body case in the cooking device installation opening. In the provided cooking apparatus, the fixing means is movably provided from the peripheral wall of the main body case toward the inner peripheral surface of the cooking apparatus installation opening, and abuts on the inner peripheral surface of the cooking apparatus installation opening The apparatus is characterized by comprising: an abutting member for setting the main body case in a fixed state; and an adjusting tool for adjusting a moving amount of the abutting member.

  The fixing means of the present invention can be moved by the adjusting tool to a position where the abutting member abuts on the inner peripheral surface of the cooking apparatus installation opening. Thereby, when the clearance between the cooking apparatus installation opening and the peripheral wall of the main body case is relatively large, the position of the abutting member is adjusted by the adjusting tool to install the abutting member in the cooking apparatus. It can be made to contact the inner skin of opening, and a main part case can be certainly fixed to opening for cooking device installation.

  In the present invention, one end of the contact member of the fixing means is connected to the peripheral wall of the main body case, and the other end is movable toward the inner peripheral surface of the cooking apparatus installation opening. It is characterized by

  For example, when the main body case is inserted into the countertop as it is dropped into the cooking apparatus installation opening (inserted into the cooking apparatus installation opening from the bottom side of the main body case), the lower end is set as one end of the contact member. It is connected to the peripheral wall, and the upper end side as the other end side is movable toward the inner peripheral surface of the cooking apparatus installation opening.

  As a result, it is possible to form a state in which the connected lower end side of the contact member approaches or is in close contact with the peripheral wall of the main case. Then, when the main body case is dropped into the opening for cooking device installation, it can be inserted into the opening for cooking device installation from the lower end side of the contact member close to or in close contact with the peripheral wall of the main body case Unintentional contact with the opening for installation can be prevented, and the installation work to the opening for cooking device installation of a main part case can be done smoothly.

  Moreover, since the upper end side of the contact member can be moved to a position where it is brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cooking apparatus installation opening beforehand by the adjusting tool, the main body case in the cooking apparatus installation opening The upper end side of the member abuts on the inner peripheral surface of the cooking apparatus installation opening and is fixed securely.

  As one aspect of the present invention, the adjustment tool is provided on a screw shaft in which the axis line extends toward the inner peripheral surface of the cooking device installation opening, and the main body case to rotate the screw shaft. And a support portion that supports in a screwed state. Thereby, the adjustment tool pushes the contact member by advancing the screw shaft in the axial direction between the peripheral wall of the main body case and the contact member as the screw shaft rotates. The movement amount of the member is adjusted.

  According to this, since the screw shaft directly pushes the contact member to move it, the number of parts can be reduced, manufacturing can be facilitated, and an increase in cost can be suppressed.

  Further, as another aspect of the present invention, the contact member of the fixing means includes a connecting portion connected to the peripheral wall of the main body case, and a smooth surface facing the peripheral wall of the main body case from the connecting portion. The smooth surface is provided so as to pivot around the connecting portion as a fulcrum in a direction away from the peripheral wall of the main body case, and the adjusting tool has a screw shaft whose axis extends along the peripheral wall of the main body case; And a moving member supported in a screwed state on the screw shaft and moving in sliding contact with the smooth surface. Thus, in the adjustment tool, the moving member moving with the rotation of the screw shaft presses the contact member via the smooth surface to adjust the movement amount of the contact member.

  According to the above configuration, when the moving member is at the position on the other end side (the moving side of the contacting member) of the contacting member, the distance between the contacting member and the main body case is small, but the moving member contacts When the member is moved to the position on one end side (the connection side to the main body case), the distance between the contact member and the main body case is increased. When the screw shaft is rotated, the moving member moves in any way while in sliding contact with the smooth surface of the contact member according to the rotation direction. By changing the position of the moving member, the contact member moves according to the position of the moving member.

  Then, by providing the screw shaft in such a posture that its axis extends along the peripheral wall of the main body case, for example, in the vertical direction, the screw shaft can be easily rotated when moving the contact member. it can. That is, in general, the screw shaft is provided with a screw head for inserting a tool such as a driver when performing a rotation operation, but since the screw shaft has a posture in which the axis extends vertically, the screw head is the upper end of the screw shaft (Or lower end) will be provided. Thus, the screw shaft can be rotated from the upper side (or lower side) where the screw head is provided when moving the contact member. Therefore, the screw axis extending in the direction to penetrate the walled wall from the inside of the main body case The adjustment operation is easier than when the rotation operation is performed.

  Further, as an aspect of the present invention other than the one described above, the fixing means is a movable member movable toward the inner peripheral surface of the cooking apparatus installation opening between the peripheral wall of the main body case and the contact member. A supporting portion provided on the main body case for movably supporting the movable member; and a fixing member provided on the supporting portion for releasably fixing the movable member to the supporting portion at a desired position. It is mentioned that it has. Thus, the fixing means moves the movable member in a state where the fixing by the fixed member is released, whereby the movable member presses the contact member to adjust the movement amount of the contact member. It becomes.

  According to this, if the fixing by the fixing member is released, the movable member can be quickly moved to the desired position. Therefore, the contact member can be rapidly moved to a position in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cooking apparatus installation opening by the moving operation of the movable member.

  Further, it is preferable that a part or all of the contact member in the present invention is configured using an elastic material. According to this, since the contact member resiliently abuts on the inner peripheral surface of the cooking apparatus installation opening, even if a slight error occurs in the position adjustment of the contact member by the adjusting tool, the error is abutted It can be absorbed by the elasticity of the member, and the main body case can be securely fixed to the opening for installing the cooking apparatus.

The gas stove 1 is incorporated in the countertop 2 of the system kitchen, and the upper surface is covered by a rectangular plate-like top plate 3. On the top plate 3, a stove burner 4, a grate 5 and an operation knob 6 which are components for cooking the gas stove 1 are exposed. At the time of cooking, a cooking vessel such as a pot is placed on Gotoku 5 and heated by the stove burner 4. The ignition and extinguishment of the stove burner 4 and the thermal power adjustment are performed by the operation of the operation knob 6.

  The gas stove 1 is provided with a main body case 7. As shown in FIG. 2, the main body case 7 includes a bottom portion 8, a peripheral wall 9 rising from the peripheral edge of the bottom portion 8, and a flange portion 10 protruding outward from the upper edge of the peripheral wall 9.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the main body case 7 is dropped into the cooking apparatus installation opening 11 formed in the counter top 2, and the flange portion 10 is provided on the outer peripheral upper surface of the cooking apparatus installation opening 11 of the counter top 2. It sits down and is held by the counter top 2.

  The cooking apparatus installation opening 11 of the counter top 2 is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view similarly to the plan view shape of the peripheral wall 9 of the main body case 7, but the waist size of the main body case 7 of the gas stove 1 ( The opening is larger than the length of the entire circumference of the peripheral wall 9. Therefore, a gap is formed between the inner peripheral surface 11a (see FIG. 4) of the cooking apparatus installation opening 11 and the peripheral wall 9 of the main body case 7. Under this condition, positional deviation or rattling occurs in the main body case 7. There is a fear.

The fixing means 12 is provided with an abutment member 13 and an adjusting screw 14 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The contact member 13 is formed of a band plate-like spring material (elastic material). The contact member 13 has a connecting portion 15 screwed to the peripheral wall 9 of the main body case 7 at a lower end portion, and is in an inclined posture in which it is gradually separated from the peripheral wall 9 of the main body case 7 upward. Thus, the upper end side of the contact member 13 is resiliently movable toward the peripheral wall 9 of the main body case 7. The contact member 13 may have a curved portion that bulges outward of the main body case 7 substantially in the vertical direction or partially.

  Further, a notch 16 is formed in the flange portion 10 of the main body case 7 corresponding to the upper end portion of the contact member 13. The position of the contact member 13 can be confirmed through the notch 16, and the contact state of the contact member 13 with the inner peripheral surface 11a of the cooking apparatus installation opening 11 can be confirmed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the adjusting screw 14 includes a screw shaft 14 a and a screw head 14 b for performing rotation operation by a tool. The screw shaft 14 a of the adjusting screw 14 is screwed into a hole-like support portion 17 formed in the peripheral wall 9 of the main body case 7.
