Description

  The present invention relates to a kitchen counter. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cooking utensil counter equipped with an electromagnetic induction (IH) cooker.

  In the past, gas cookers have been the mainstream for home cookers, but IH cookers have become popular in recent years because they are safe to use even for elderly people because they do not have to worry about going out and do not burn. is there. However, when the IH cooker is built-in and used, it is necessary to remove the heat generated by the IH cooker itself. As shown in FIG. 3, in the known kitchen counter B, the IH cooker 4 is cooled. The air flows from the gap 9a between the crosspiece 7 provided on the counter 6 and the cabinet door 8, and is discharged by the air discharged from the gap 9b between the counter 6 and the rear part of the IH cooker 4.

That is, the air that is attracted by the ventilation fan (not shown) provided in the kitchen and flows in from the gap 9a flows while contacting the side surface and the lower surface of the IH cooker 4 having the heating unit 41, as indicated by arrows in FIG. The IH cooker 4 was cooled by the air flow. On the other hand, in the case of a gas cooker, for example, as shown in FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1 below, a technique for exhausting combustion exhaust gas, steam generated by cooking, etc. from an exhaust port provided in the front of the cabinet It has been known.
No. 7-34604 (pages 1 and 2, Fig. 2)

  However, as shown in FIG. 3 of the present application, in order to provide a gap between the counter beam and the door, and to make the gap an air supply space, the door mounting error is reduced and the shape of the door edge is constant. There is a problem that it is necessary to perform a strict gap adjustment, such as, and the workability is poor, and the IH cooker cannot be sufficiently cooled. The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and is a cooking that can be cooled by simply providing an air supply opening of a certain size and sufficiently flowing air for removing heat from the IH cooker. The object is to provide an instrument counter.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means. That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, in the kitchen counter installed in the kitchen equipped with the ventilation fan, the IH cooker is built in, and the IH cooker is suspended from the front end of the counter unit. Ri Do from the apron portion covering the front surface of the device, the said apron being air inlets provided, an exhaust port is provided on the rear end portion of the upper surface of the counter portion that built the IH cooker, it is attracted by the exhaust fan A cooking utensil counter is provided in which fresh air is sucked from an air supply port provided in the apron section, contacts the IH cooker, and is discharged from the exhaust port .

In addition to the invention described in claim 1, in the cooking utensil counter according to claim 2 , it is preferable that the air supply port has a plurality of long holes arranged in parallel at the lower part of the apron portion.

  The cooking utensil counter according to the first aspect of the present invention is as described above, and includes a counter unit in which the IH cooker is built in, and an apron unit that hangs down from the front end and covers the front surface of the IH cooker. Since the air supply opening is provided in the apron portion, the air attracted by the ventilation fan provided in the kitchen flows while contacting the side surface and the lower surface of the IH cooker from the air supply opening. The exotherm of the vessel itself can be removed.

Furthermore, since the exhaust port to the rear end of the counter section that built on the Symbol IH cooker is provided, the air from the air supply port is easily attracted by exhaust fan provided in the kitchen, a sufficient amount of Air is discharged from the exhaust port while contacting the side surface and the lower surface of the IH cooker, and as a result, the IH cooker can be efficiently cooled.

The cookware counter according to claim 2 is as described above, and in addition to the effect of the cookware counter according to claim 1, the air supply port has a plurality of elongated holes arranged in parallel at the lower part of the apron portion. The attracted air can easily come into contact with the lower surface of the IH cooker having a large bottom area, and can remove more heat and cool the IH cooker more efficiently.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing a configuration of a cooking utensil counter A according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial sectional perspective view. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the cooking utensil counter A includes a counter unit 1 in which an IH cooker 4 is built in a counter top, and hangs down at the front end of the counter unit 1. The apron part 3 which covers the front surface is provided with an air supply opening made up of three long holes 2. The IH cooker 4 includes a heating unit 41, and an exhaust port 5 is provided at the rear end of the counter unit 1. Furthermore, the entire kitchen is ventilated by a ventilation fan (not shown).

  Next, the operation and effect of the cooking utensil counter A of the present invention will be described. The air attracted by the outside ventilation fan is supplied from the three long holes 2 provided in the lower part of the apron section 3 and comes into contact with the side surface and the lower surface of the IH cooker 4 as indicated by arrows in FIG. Then, the heat is discharged from the exhaust port 5 while removing the heat from the IH cooker 4. At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, since the long holes 2 are arranged in parallel at the lower part of the apron portion 3, the attracted air easily contacts the lower surface of the IH cooker 4 having a large bottom area. In addition, the heat of the IH cooker 4 can be efficiently removed and cooled.

  In addition, the said long hole 2 is not limited to three, Moreover, the position to provide is not limited to the lower part of the apron part 3, It can change with the heat generating capacity, specification, etc. of the IH cooking appliance 4. FIG. As described above, the cooking utensil counter A according to the present invention can be changed in design in various ways, and all are included in the technical scope of the present invention without departing from the scope of the claims.

It is a sectional side view which shows the structure of the cooking utensil counter concerning this invention. It is a partial section perspective view showing the cooking utensil counter concerning the present invention. It is a sectional side view which shows a well-known kitchen counter.
