Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooking table having a heating cooker inside.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a cooktop incorporating a heating cooker, there is as little step as possible between the top surface (working surface) of the top plate arranged above the cooktop and the top surface of the Gotoku heater. Is preferable. This is because if there is a step between the work surface of the top plate and the top surface of the Gotoku, the workability is poor when moving a heavy saucepan or a kettle on the cooking table. For this reason, there are many cooking tables in which a concave portion is formed below the work surface of the top plate and the combustion portion of the heating cooker is arranged in the concave portion (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-44242, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-66525, etc.). ).

FIG. 4 shows a typical example of such a cooking table. In the figure, 100 is a top plate of a cooking table. On the lower surface around the opening 100a of the top plate 100,
A concave auxiliary plate 101 is attached, and the auxiliary plate 101 and the opening 100a of the top plate 100 form a downward concave portion 102. Further, an opening 101a is formed on the bottom side of the auxiliary plate 101, and a top plate 103 for receiving juice is arranged so as to close the opening 101a. Then, through the opening 103a of the top plate 103, the burner 10
4 is positioned so that the upper part thereof projects into the recess 102. In addition, on the convex portion of the top plate 103,
05 is positioned so that its upper surface is substantially aligned with the upper surface of the top plate 100.

Therefore, in such a cooktop, the work surface 100b of the top plate 100 and the upper surface of the Gotoku 105 of the heating cooker are formed substantially flush with each other, so that the pot is placed on the top plate 100 and above the Gotoku 105. It is easy to move the pan, or conversely, to move the pan from the top of the Gotoku 105 to the top 100, and
A pot or the like can be placed across the Gotoku 105 and the top plate 100, and the usability of the cooking table can be improved.

[0005]

However, in the above-described conventional cooking table, the combustion section, which is the upper portion of the burner 104 of the heating cooker, is disposed in the recess 102 formed below the work surface 100b of the top plate 100. Therefore, there is a problem in that the periphery of the opening 100a of the top plate 100 is heated to a high temperature by the burner 104 when the heating cooker is used.

It should be noted that, due to the temperature of the top plate 100 being raised, the work surface 100b of the top plate 100 may be touched and burned during cooking.
There is a problem in terms of safety, and it becomes necessary to form a heat-resistant material around the opening 100a of the top plate 100.
A problem also occurs in terms of material selection of the top plate 100.

In view of the above points, the present invention makes it possible to easily prevent high temperature heating on the work surface side of the top plate even when the combustion part of the heating cooker is arranged below the work surface of the top plate. The purpose is to provide a stand.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, an upper portion of a cooking table body is covered with a top plate, and heating is performed in a recess formed below a work surface of the top plate. On the cooking table where the burning part of the cooker is located, place it in the recess.
Over the entire circumference of the side wall surface of the concave part of the Gotoku of the cooker to be placed
The outer peripheral part that is provided along the
The work surface of the top plate so that heat transfer to the side is suppressed.
It is provided without any gap, and it is the side wall surface from itself.
In order to suppress the transfer of heat to the side,
Form a gap with an open top without touching the side wall surface
That is, it is a heat shield member for the side wall surface .

The invention of claim 2 of this invention is the same as that of claim 1.
In the case of the invention described above, the entire upper surface of the outer peripheral portion of Gotoku is positioned substantially flush with the work surface of the top plate.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the high temperature combustion gas flow and the radiant heat generated by the combustion portion of the heating cooker during the heating and cooking are heated by the outer periphery of the Gotoku, which serves as a heat shielding member , on the side wall surface side of the recess. Is prevented from reaching. Further, the hot combustion gas stream and radiation heat produced by the combustion unit, out of the trivet
Even if the peripheral portion is heated to a high temperature, the heat transfer from the outer peripheral portion of the Gotoku to the side wall surface of the recess, particularly the heat transfer by conduction, is suppressed to a low level by the gap formed between the peripheral surface of the recess and the side wall surface of the recess. . In this case, since the upper part of the gap is open,
The temperature rise due to convection of the air layer during the period can be suppressed
In addition, the temperature of the outer periphery of Gotoku is prevented from rising, and the
Heat transfer to the side wall surface side is suppressed. In addition, heating cooker
The outer periphery of Gokutoku has a function as a heat shield.
Since there is no need for a special heat shield member,
As a result, it is possible to reduce the size and cost of the cooking table.

[0011] In the present invention of claim 2 of the present invention, on the trivet
Since the entire surface is located almost flush with the work surface of the tabletop, the heat-shielding effect of this outer periphery is great, and the movement of cooking utensils between the work surface of the tabletop and the outer edge of Gotoku is also possible. It will be easy.

A recess 30 for the heating cooker 4 is formed above, and
An opening 31 for the sink 5 is formed on the right side of the middle portion. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the recess 30 is formed by pressing a stainless plate, and has a rectangular planar shape including four side wall portions 30a and a bottom plate portion 30b. It is a thing. Then, the bottom plate portion 30b is formed with an opening 30c that communicates with the cooking table body 2 side. As shown in FIG. 2, the water baffle 32 has a substantially C-shaped cross section and is formed such that the upper portion 32 a thereof projects slightly above the work surface P.

The heating cooker 4 is, as shown in FIG.
Main body 40 having a grill inside, top plate 41 for receiving juice, and 3 attached to the upper part of main body 40
It consists of a book gas burner 42 (see FIG. 2) and a Gotoku 43. The main body 40, as shown in FIG.
It is housed in the space above the support plate 24 of the cooking table body 2, and is positioned so that the upper part thereof faces the recess 30 of the top plate 3 through the opening 30c. The front surface side of the main body portion 40 is positioned flush with the opening / closing doors 20, 21, 22, 23, etc. of the cooktop main body 2, and the front surface of the main body portion 40 is, as shown in FIG. , A grill lid 40a,
Four knobs 40b, 40c, 40d, 4 for igniting and extinguishing the gas burner 42 and the grill burner (not shown)
0e and 0e are attached.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the top plate 41 is mounted on the bottom plate portion 30b of the recess 30 so as to cover the opening 30c of the recess 30 of the top plate 3.
The top plate 41 is formed with a circumferential convex portion 41a on the outer peripheral portion and a plurality of convex portions 41b in the middle. Also, this top plate 4
1, an opening 41c for the gas burner 42 and an exhaust port 41d for the grill burner are formed. The periphery of the opening 41c and the exhaust port 41d is curved upward to prevent the spilled substance from falling into the cooking table body 2 below.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the gas burner 42 protrudes toward the recess 30 side of the top plate 3 through the opening 41c of the top plate 41, and the burner head portion 42a which is the combustion part is recessed. It is positioned in the middle of 30.

The Gotoku 43, as shown in FIG. 1, is composed of five Gotoku blocks arranged in close proximity to each other.
The planar shape is a rectangular shape slightly smaller than the planar shape of the recess 30 of the top plate 3. In this Gotoku 43, the outer peripheral portion 43a serving as a heat shielding member has a peripheral convex portion 41 of the top plate 41.
The intermediate portion 43b, which is placed on a and has the same height as the outer peripheral portion 43a, has an inner convex portion 41b of the top plate 41.
It is placed on the top plate 41 and positioned and supported on the top plate 41. In this case, the outer peripheral portion 43a is positioned such that the upper surface thereof is substantially flush with the work surface P of the top plate 3 and is between the inner surface of the side wall portion 30a of the recess 30 (hereinafter this surface is referred to as the side wall surface S). , Are positioned so as to form a predetermined gap K over the entire circumference.

From the upper side of the outer peripheral portion 43a and the intermediate portion 43b toward the three burner head portions 42a side, a large number of
The support portion 43c extends horizontally. And this support
The upper surface of 43c is also positioned substantially flush with the work surface P of the top plate 3. Further, at a position corresponding to the exhaust port 41d of the top plate 41 of the Gotoku 43, as shown in FIG. 2, an opening 43d for letting the combustion gas of the grill burner escape upward is formed. The outer peripheral portion 43a and the intermediate portion 43
b constitutes the outer edge of the five Gotoku blocks.

Here, the gap K is defined by the burner head portion 42a.
The top plate 3 has a function of preventing heat generated from the side from being transferred to the side wall surface S side of the recess 30 due to heat conduction and the heat applied to the heat shield member (outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gotoku 43). It has a function as a heat radiation space that escapes above.
Therefore, the width of the gap K, that is, the distance between the outer surface of the outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gotoku 43 and the side wall surface S of the recess 30 is required to be large enough to cool the heat shield member by heat dissipation by natural convection. Become. It is difficult to specify the width of the gap K accurately, but from experiments and the like, for example, 1
It is known that if it is 0 mm or more, a considerable heat dissipation effect is exhibited.

Next, the operation and effect of the cooking table 1 will be described below. Since the cooking table 1 is characterized by the heating cooker 4 side, the operation and effect of the cooking table 1 will be described below in relation to the heating cooker 4.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, for example, when the pan N is placed on the supporting portion 43b of the Gotoku 43 and the gas burner 42 is ignited, the flame emitted from the burner head portion 42a (hereinafter referred to as the combustion gas flow G). ) Moves up and hits the bottom surface N1 of the pan N, and then moves to the side wall surface S side of the recess 30 of the top plate 3 along the bottom surface N1 of the pan N. Also, the burner head section 4
The radiant heat emitted from the 2a side tends to reach the side wall surface S side of the recess 30.

However, the combustion gas flow G trying to move to the side wall surface S side of the recess 30 hits the outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gotoku 43, is blocked from moving to the side wall surface S side of the recess 30, and then moves upward. To do. Further, the radiant heat from the combustion gas flow G side also hits the outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gotoku 43, and is prevented from being transmitted to the side wall surface S side of the recess 30. Therefore, although the outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gotoku 43 is heated by the combustion gas flow G and the radiant heat from the burner head portion 42a side, the recess 30
The side wall surface S of is not directly heated.

On the other hand, the outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gokutoku 43 and the recess 30
Since there is a constant gap K between the outer peripheral portion 43a and the side wall surface S, even if the outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gotoku 43 is heated, this outer peripheral portion 43a
The heat transfer from the side to the side wall surface S side of the recess 30 is small. Further, the gap K has a width sufficient to cool the outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gotoku 43 by natural convection,
Since it functions as a heat dissipation space for the outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gokutoku 43, the temperature of the air layer in the gap K is prevented from increasing, and the temperature rise of the side wall surface S of the recess 30 is suppressed accordingly, and the outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gokutoku 43 is also suppressed. Gokutoku 4 because the high temperature of
It is also possible to suppress heat transfer from the outer peripheral portion 43a of No. 3 to the side wall surface S side of the recess 30 by radiation. Therefore, the temperature rise of the side wall surface S of the concave portion 30 of the top plate 3 can be suppressed to be low during cooking.

As described above, in the cooking table 1,
Along the side wall surface S of the concave portion 30, an outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gotoku 43 that forms a constant gap K with the side wall surface S is arranged to prevent high temperature heating of the side wall surface S of the concave portion 30 of the top plate 3. Therefore, even if the user of the cooking table 1 accidentally touches the work surface P around the recessed portion 30 of the top plate 3 during heating and cooking, the user is not burned. Further, in this cooking table 1, since the temperature of the work surface P of the top plate 3 can be lowered, even if the top plate 3 is made of a material relatively vulnerable to heat (for example, artificial marble), the top plate 3 is The situation in which the material is altered or deformed hardly occurs, and the degree of freedom in selecting the material of the top plate 3 can be increased.

Further, in the cooking table 1, the top plate 3 is provided by simple means of forming the gap K and installing the heat shield member.
Since the temperature rise can be prevented, the cooking table 1 will not be significantly increased in cost or upsized. In this case, in particular,
Since the outer peripheral portion 43a of the Gotoku 43 has a function as a heat shield member, a special heat shield member is not required, and the cost and size of the cooking table can be reduced accordingly.

Of course, in this cooktop 1, since the work surface P of the top plate 3 and the upper surface of the Gotoku 43 of the heating cooker 4 are arranged substantially flush with each other, the work of the Gotoku 43 and the top plate 3 is performed. The cooking utensil can be easily moved between the planes P, and the cooking utensil is stable even when the cooking utensil is placed so as to straddle both the upper surface of the Gotoku 43 and the work surface P of the top plate 3. , The upper surface of the cooking table 1 can be used without waste.

The heat shield member is a side wall surface S of the recess 30.
Of the combustion gas flow G to the side and the burner head portion 42a
Any shape may be used as long as it can prevent the radiant heat from reaching from the side, and it can be arranged at any position in the recess 30.

Further, in the cooking table 1, the heating cooker 4 is provided with a grill, but the heating cooker 4 may have an oven in addition to the grill, and has only a burner. May be The type of burner of the heating cooker 4 may be gas-fired or oil-fired, and
The number of burners may be one or more.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the cooking table 1 is of a so-called system kitchen type having a heating cooker 4, a sink 5, and the like, and a so-called cooking cooker having only a heating cooker. It may be of a cooking table type.
