Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to equipment used in a kitchen, and more particularly to improvement of kitchen equipment installed on a floor surface.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Various devices such as an oven, a range, a dishwasher, and a sink have been proposed as devices installed on the floor of the kitchen, but these kitchen devices may be used alone. However, many kinds of these devices are usually arranged along the work path so that a person working in the kitchen can move efficiently. A typical example is a so-called system kitchen, which has various types of equipment that are independently equipped with various functions of the same height and width, and these are arranged in a straight line or key shape. It is happening.
[0003]
If various kitchen equipments are arranged like this system kitchen, it is convenient to perform a plurality of types of cooking in parallel. However, the front panels of various conventional kitchen appliances stand up vertically from the floor, like a wall, while human feet have their toes protruding forward from the ankles. For this reason, the front panel standing upright like a wall is in the way, and the upper body cannot be brought large onto the kitchen equipment. In other words, the person who cooked had a problem that it was difficult to bring the body close to the device, and cooking was difficult.
[0004]
In particular, such a system kitchen is often employed to effectively use a narrow kitchen space in apartment houses such as apartments and condominiums, and is arranged in a row on the wall side or separated from a passage that is a work path. Are arranged in parallel. For this reason, whether in a single row or in parallel, the passage through which the worker passes is very narrow, 90 cm to 100 cm, because the kitchen is narrow and the work path needs to be shortened. It gives a feeling of oppression like being in a narrow box.
[0005]
In addition, in a range or an oven, a gas pipe for supplying gas as fuel must be attached. Similarly, in a sink, a dishwasher, etc., a water supply pipe for supplying water used therefor, and It is necessary to provide a drainage pipe for discharging the water used, and these pipes such as gas pipes are naturally incorporated in the corresponding equipment and must be connected to external pipes. In particular, in a range or oven that burns gas, in order to improve combustion efficiency in the combustion device, as well as piping for supplying gas, a space for sufficient ventilation must be formed inside the range and the like. Don't be.
[0006]
Piping used in such kitchen equipment is used not only for connection work when the equipment is newly installed on the floor, but also when the equipment is used for a long period of time or when the equipment breaks down. It is something that must be maintained. However, it is difficult to connect pipes and perform maintenance work for equipment installed in a very narrow kitchen room, such as the system kitchen described above. There is a current situation that needs to be improved. In particular, when the pipe is a gas pipe, it is obliged to close the main tap when it is absent for more than one day, and this main tap must be easily opened and closed in the kitchen. .
[0007]
Furthermore, in recent kitchen appliances, improvements have been made to the combustion device, which is the heart of the kitchen equipment, and the heart is becoming smaller as a whole. In addition, it is rare that a heart part is disposed at the lower part of the device because it is difficult to operate and work with it. On the other hand, as for the overall size of various kitchen appliances, the human physique does not change so much, and in the present situation where tall people are increasing, it does not decrease even if it increases. As a result, in this type of kitchen equipment, a large space is created in the lower part thereof, and it has been desired to use it effectively.
[0008]
The present inventor has completed the present invention as a result of many years of study on how to improve the situation of the kitchen appliance of this type and how to improve it.
[0009]
