FIG. 1 shows an installation example of a general kitchen apparatus. Reference numeral 15 denotes an eye-level device in which a control unit having a television function and a telephone function according to the present embodiment is housed in a wooden cabinet 16. An intake hole 17 is provided on the rear surface of 16, and an exhaust hole 18 is provided on the upper surface, and the control unit includes a cathode ray tube 19,
It comprises a deflection coil 20, a microcomputer including a video demodulation circuit and an audio amplification circuit, a printed board 21 on which a transformer is mounted, a fan motor 22 for cooling electronic components on the printed board 21, and the like. On both sides of the eye level device 15, an eye level storage shelf 23 for storing seasonings and the like and a ventilation fan hood for eye level installation 24 are installed adjacent to each other. The eye level device 15 and the eye level storage shelf 23 are provided with two hanging members 26 fixed to the bottom of the wall cabinet 25.
Is suspended by a hanging metal fitting 27 provided on the upper surface of the eye level device 15 and the eye level storage shelf 23, and between the wall cabinet 25 and the eye level device 15 and the eye level storage shelf 23 by the hanging device 26. A blind plate 29 is fitted to the front and left sides (the ventilation fan hood 24 side) of the space 28 that is formed and serves as a ventilation path for the warm air exhausted from the exhaust holes 18. The top 30 made of stainless steel or the like is placed and fixed on the floor cabinet 31.
A stove 32, a sink 33, and a faucet 34 are provided. And
At the farthest position of the above kitchen equipment, a side panel 35 for keeping the external appearance beautiful from the side is a wall cabinet.
It is attached to the floor from the top of 25.

In the above configuration, during operation of the eye level device 15, heat is generated from electric components such as the deflection coil 20 and a transformer on the printed circuit board 21, so that the temperature in the cabinet 16 rises, and the microcomputer and the capacitor on the printed circuit board 21 Due to thermal stress, these electronic components are cooled by the fan motor 22. The low-temperature outside air taken in by the fan motor 22 passes through a space 37 between the rear surface of the wall cabinet 25 and the wall surface 36 from the ceiling portion, and from a space 38 formed between the eye level device 15 and the wall surface 36. Air is sucked in from the intake hole 17 in the cabinet 16 as shown by an arrow a,
After the components in the eye level device 15 are cooled, the air becomes warm air and is discharged from the exhaust hole 18 formed in the upper surface of the cabinet 16 to the space 28 between the two hanging members 26 as shown by the arrow b.
