Next, the structure of the operation unit 60 will be described. In this embodiment, the operation panel 35 is stored in the storage frame 32 as a basic posture, and the structure will be described based on the orientation of the basic posture. Further, in the operation unit 60, a state in which the operation panel 35 is pulled out forward and is operable is referred to as an operation state. The operation unit 60 is configured to be movable between the storage state and the operation state. The operation portion 60 is formed in a substantially triangular column shape that is long in the left-right direction, has a hollow inside, and has a bottom side open. The operation unit 60 includes a front wall portion 61, a rear wall portion 62, a right wall portion 63, and a left wall portion 64 (see FIGS. 7 and 9).

As shown in FIG. 2, the front wall portion 61 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and the decorative plate 21 (see FIG. 1) described above is fixed to the front surface thereof. An opening 611, which is substantially rectangular in a front view, is provided at the center of the front wall 61 on the left and right sides. A protrusion 65 (see FIG. 6) protruding rearward is provided at the lower edge of the opening 611. A right shaft support 612 is provided at the right corner of the lower end of the front wall 61, and a left shaft support 613 is provided at the left corner. The right shaft support portion 612 and the left shaft support portion 613 are formed in a substantially C shape in a side view (see FIG. 5 ). The right shaft support 612 is rotatably engaged with the right support shaft 41 provided at the right front corner of the bottom plate 321 of the storage frame 32, and the left shaft support 613 is provided with the left support shaft provided at the left front corner. 42 rotatably engaged. As a result, the operation unit 60 is rotatably supported around the right support shaft 41 and the left support shaft 42.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rear wall portion 62 extends obliquely downward with respect to the rear from the front end portion of the front wall portion 61, and is formed into a substantially rectangular plate shape. The operation panel 35 is fixed to the outer surface (upper surface) of the rear wall portion 62. The operation panel 35 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape that is slightly longer in the left-right direction. The operation panel 35 is provided with 12 buttons 351 (only one is labeled in the figure) and two display sections 352, 353. A locking wall portion 355 is provided at a rear end portion of the operation panel 35 that is directed obliquely downward. The locking wall portion 355 is provided so as to project obliquely upward with respect to the rear from the rear end portion of the operation panel 35, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction in a plan view.

Between the inner surface of the rear wall portion 62 and the inner surface of the front wall portion 61, a support plate 621 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) having a substantially triangular shape in side view is provided. One side of the support plate 621 is connected to the inner surface of the rear wall portion 62, and the other piece is connected to the inner surface of the front wall portion 61. The remaining one side of the support plate 621 is arranged rearward, and a spring fixing groove 622 is provided in the rear wall portion 62 side portion. The other end 372 of the torsion coil spring 37 is locked in the spring fixing groove 622 (see FIG. 7). As a result, the operation portion 60 is constantly urged by the spring force of the torsion coil spring 37 so as to rotate from the stored state toward the operated state.

As shown in FIG. 5, the right wall portion 63 is provided so as to close a space between the right end portion of the front wall portion 61 and the right end portion of the rear wall portion 62, and is formed in a substantially triangular shape in a right side view. The right surface of the right wall portion 63 is located to the left of the right end portion of the front wall portion 61 and the right end portion of the rear wall portion 62. In the lower end portion of the right wall portion 63, a recessed portion 631 that is cut out in a substantially rectangular shape in right side view is provided in a portion other than the rear end side. On the rear side of the recess 631, a protrusion 632 that protrudes below the recess 631 is provided.

A rack portion 66 is provided on the right surface portion of the right wall portion 63. The rack portion 66 includes a base portion 661 and a tooth portion 662. The base portion 661 is curved in an arc shape from the lower end of the protruding portion 632 toward the front wall portion 61 side and is connected to the back surface of the front wall portion 61. The base portion 661 is formed in an arc shape centered on the right support shaft 41. The base portion 661 projects rightward from the right surface portion of the right wall portion 63 in a wall shape. The tooth portion 662 is formed along the curved inner side surface of the base portion 661. The pinion gear 51 of the damper mechanism 50 provided on the right plate portion 322 of the storage frame 32 meshes with the tooth portion 662. The left wall portion 64 is provided so as to close between the left end portion of the front wall portion 61 and the left end portion of the rear wall portion 62, and is formed in a substantially triangular shape in left side view (see FIG. 9 ).

Next, the operation of pulling out the operation panel 35 on the right front panel section 11 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, when the operation portion 60 is in the stored state (basic posture), the front wall portion 61 is vertical and is substantially flush with the front surface of the main body portion 31. The protrusion 65 provided on the inner surface of the front wall portion 61 of the operation portion 60 is pushed into the lock mechanism portion 44 supported by the support member 43 of the bottom plate portion 321 of the storage frame 32 and locked (see FIG. 2). .. As a result, the right front panel unit 11 can hold the operation unit 60 in the stored state. The operation panel 35 is housed inside the housing frame 32 and is in a state of facing obliquely upward with respect to the rear (see FIGS. 3 and 4). As shown in FIG. 5, at the lower end of the right wall portion 63 of the operation portion 60, the recessed portion 631 is arranged above the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 321 of the storage frame 32, and the protrusion 632 is the U-shape of the bottom plate portion 321. It is arranged in the groove portion 47. Therefore, the rear end portion 66A of the rack portion 66 formed on the protruding portion 632 is also arranged in the U-shaped groove portion 47.

Next, in order to pull out the operation panel 35 to the front, the user pushes the upper portion of the decorative plate 22 (front wall portion 61) of the operation portion 60 rearward. As a result, the protrusion 65 on the operating portion 60 side is pushed again into the lock mechanism portion 44, and the lock by the lock mechanism portion 44 is released. Then, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the operation portion 60 is biased to the front side about the right support shaft 41 and the left support shaft 42 by the spring force of the torsion coil spring 37 to rotate. At this time, the rack portion 66 also rotates forward with the right support shaft 41 and the left support shaft 42 as a unit, together with the operation portion 60. The pinion gear 51 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the rack portion 66, but the rotation speed thereof is limited by the damper mechanism 50. As a result, the speed at which the operation section 60 rotates via the rack section 66 is also limited, so that the operation panel 35 is slowly and safely pulled out to the front side at a constant speed.

When the operation unit 60 further rotates forward, the rear end of the operation panel 35 moves upward. The locking wall portion 35A provided at the rear end portion of the operation panel 35 is locked from the rear with respect to the locked portion 326 provided at the front end portion of the upper plate portion 324 of the storage frame 32 (see FIG. 6). ). As a result, the rotation of the operation unit 60 is stopped. Then, in the operation unit 60, the posture is held in a state where the operation panel 35 is pulled out to the front side and is inclined at a predetermined angle (see FIG. 8 ).

Thus, in the right front panel section 11, when the operation section 60 is in the housed state, the rear end section 66A of the rack section 66 is housed inside the U-shaped groove section 47 provided in the bottom plate section 321. The length of the rack portion 66 can be increased as compared with the case where the U-shaped groove portion 47 is not provided. As a result, the rear end portion 66A of the rack portion 66 interferes with the bottom plate portion 321 even when the operation panel 35 becomes large and the stroke for moving the operation portion 60 between the stored state and the operated state becomes long. Instead, the operation unit 60 can be stored in the storage frame 32.

The positional relationship between the various buttons 351 and the right and left support shafts 41 and 42 on the operation panel 35 in the operating state will be described with reference to FIG. 8. When the operation unit 60 is in the operated state, the operation panel 35 is supported in a state of being inclined at a predetermined angle. As described above, the operation panel 35 is provided with the plurality of buttons 351. The positions of the buttons 351 are arranged in front of the right support shaft 41 and the left support shaft 42 when viewed in a plan view. .. Further, the plurality of buttons 351 are arranged such that, when the button 351 is pressed, the vector of the force acting on the operation panel 35 is directed to the region on the front side of the right support shaft 41 and the left support shaft 42. For example, in the operation panel 35, when the vector of the force acting on the operation panel 35 when the uppermost button 351 is pressed is P, the vector P is the right support shaft 41 and the left support shaft 42. It is directed toward the front area. Accordingly, when the user presses the button 351, it is possible to prevent the operation unit 60 from rotating backward due to the force. When the button 351 is pressed, the operation unit 60 is held at that position without rotating, so that the user can stably press the button 351.

As described above, the stove 1 of this embodiment includes the right front panel section 11 fixed to the front surface of the housing 2. The right front panel unit 11 includes an operation unit 60. A storage frame 32 is provided below the right front panel unit 11. The storage frame 32 includes a bottom plate part 321, a right plate part 322, and a left plate part 323, and stores the operation part 60 inside. The operation unit 60 has an operation panel 35 that can accept an input. The operation unit 60 is rotatably supported by a right support shaft 41 and a left support shaft 42 extending in the left-right direction at the lower end of the right front panel unit 11. The operation unit 60 is rotated about the right support shaft 41 and the left support shaft 42, so that the operation panel 35 is stored in the storage frame 32 and the operation panel 35 is exposed to the outside of the storage frame 32. The operation panel 35 is configured to be movable between operation states in which operation is possible. The stove 1 further includes a torsion coil spring 37 and a lock mechanism unit 44. The torsion coil spring 37 urges the operating section 60 in a direction in which it is in an operating state. The lock mechanism section 44 holds the operation section 60 in a retracted position in a releasable manner.

The damper mechanism 50 is provided on the right plate portion 322 of the storage frame 32. The damper mechanism 50 has a gear-shaped pinion gear 51 rotatable about an axis extending in the left-right direction, and limits the rotation speed of the pinion gear 51. On the other hand, in the operation portion 60, an arc-shaped rack portion 66 is provided on the right surface portion of the right wall portion 63 that is arranged to face the right plate portion 322 of the storage frame 32. The pinion gear 51 meshes with the tooth portion 662 of the rack portion 66. Further, the bottom plate portion 321 is provided with a U-shaped groove portion 47 that accommodates the rear end portion 66A of the rack portion 66 inside when the operation portion 60 is held in the accommodated state.

As a result, when the operation portion 60 is held in the housed state, the rear end portion 66A of the rack portion 66 is accommodated inside the U-shaped groove portion 47, so that the rack portion 66 is different from the case without the U-shaped groove portion 47. Can be made longer. As a result, the rear end portion 66A of the rack portion 66 interferes with the bottom plate portion 321 even when the operation panel 35 becomes large and the stroke for moving the operation portion 60 between the stored state and the operated state becomes long. Instead, the operation unit 60 can be stored in the storage frame 32.

In the above description, the right front panel section 11 is an example of the “front panel section” in the present invention. The right plate portion 322 and the left plate portion 323 are examples of the "left and right side plate portions" in the present invention. The storage frame 32 is an example of the "storage unit" in the present invention. The right support shaft 41 and the left support shaft 42 are examples of the "rotating shaft" in the present invention. The torsion coil spring 37 is an example of the “biasing means” in the present invention. The protrusion 65 and the lock mechanism portion 44 are examples of the “position restriction portion” in the present invention. The U-shaped groove portion 47 is an example of the “rack end accommodation portion” in the present invention.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. In the above embodiment, the U-shaped groove portion 47 is provided in the right corner of the rear end portion of the bottom plate portion 321 as an example of the “rack end housing portion”, but the rear end portion 66A of the rack portion 66 can be housed. The bottom plate 321 may be, for example, a recess formed downward in the upper surface of the bottom plate 321, a hole penetrating the lower surface, or the like. Further, the right side corner portion of the rear end portion of the bottom plate portion 321 may be cut out.

The number and shape of the buttons 351 provided on the operation panel 35, the number, size, and shape of the display units 352 and 353 can be freely changed. The layout (arrangement) of the buttons 351 and the display portions 352, 353 on the operation panel 35 can be freely changed, but the positions of the buttons 351 are both the right support shaft 41 and the left support shaft as in the above embodiment.
