  Here, FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view of the operation unit 6 in the second embodiment. However, the console 60 in the present embodiment has the same configuration as the console 60 in the second embodiment. Therefore, the console 60 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The console 60 includes an operating device (cooking operating device) 62 used for operating the stove 5 and a case (operating device storage case) 63 for storing the operating device 62. The console 60 in the present embodiment includes three operating devices 62. Below, in order to distinguish the three operation devices 62, it represents with the codes | symbols 621-623 as needed.

  The operation unit 6 includes a base unit 8 that supports the operation device 62 and the case 63 (that is, the operation console 60). The operation unit 6 is attached and fixed to the cabinet 3 by the base unit 8. In FIG. 2, the base unit 8 is illustrated in a simplified manner. In the present embodiment, in order to attach the operation unit 6 to the cabinet 3, the base unit 8 is fixed to the cabinet 3 using a connection fitting (not shown).

  The base unit 8 is disposed below the front end of the counter 4 and is configured to support the console 60 from below. Therefore, the console 60 is stored in the space 34 between the base unit 8 and the front end of the counter 4 in the cabinet 3.

  The upper part of the operation unit storage part 36 is covered by the front end part of the counter 4. Therefore, the operation unit 6 accommodated in the operation unit storage unit 36 is located immediately below the front end of the counter 4. The front of the operation unit storage section 36 below the storage opening 35 is covered with the first front plate 30.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the base unit 8 includes a base 80 as a metal bottom component at the bottom. The base 80 is formed in a rectangular plate shape whose longitudinal direction is the left-right direction. A front plate 81 is erected at the front end of the base 80. The front plate 81 is provided along the back surface of the first front plate 30. Further, the front plate 81 is formed with an insertion hole 811 for a connection terminal 625 of the operation device 62 described later.

  At both left and right ends of the base 80, metal rail support legs 82 are erected. A rail 83 is formed on the top of each rail support leg 82. The rail 83 is formed in a U-shape that opens inward in a regular cross section. As shown in FIG. 4, a retaining portion 831 protruding downward is formed at the upper edge of the inner opening of the rail 83. Similarly, a retaining portion 831 protruding upward is formed at the lower edge of the inner opening of the rail 83.

  The console 60 of the operation unit 6 is formed in a horizontally long plate shape whose width (length in the left-right direction in FIG. 1) is longer than depth (length in the front-rear direction in FIG. 1). Further, the operation unit 6 is configured in a horizontally long shape across all of the plurality of heating bodies 52. In other words, the operation unit 6 is located across the left heating element 521 to the right heating element 523. Note that the operation unit 6 may be configured in a horizontally long shape that extends over not all of the plurality (three in the present embodiment) of the heating bodies 52.

  When the stove 5 is operated, the console 60 protrudes forward substantially parallel to the front surface of the counter 4 and is positioned at the upper front end of the cabinet 3 as shown in FIG. The console 60 is stored in the operation unit storage unit 36 when the stove 5 is not operated.

  The operating device 62 is longer in the left-right direction than in the front-rear direction, and is formed in a rectangular box shape. An operation unit 624 for operating the stove 5 is provided on the upper surface of the operation device 62. The operation unit 624 includes, for example, an operation switch that operates the stove 5, an operation button, an operation dial, and a display unit (status display unit) that displays the status of the stove 5. As shown in FIG. 3, a connection terminal 625 is provided on the rear surface of the operation device 62. The connection terminal 625 is electrically connected to the heating body 52 of the stove 5. It should be noted that the operation device 62 can wirelessly transmit an operation signal to the stove 5 side wirelessly.

  The case 63 has an open top surface and is formed in a horizontally long shape. As shown in FIG. 9, the case 63 includes a case main body 64 made of a metal extrusion mold material (in this embodiment, an aluminum extrusion material), and an end cap 65 made of a synthetic resin. The case 63 is configured to store three operating devices 62 and a remote operating device 71.

  The case main body 64 has a long bottom plate 641 whose longitudinal direction is the left-right direction. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the operation device 621, the remote operation device 71, the operation device 622, and the operation device 623 are arranged in this order from the left of the case main body 64. Therefore, the plurality of operating devices 62 are arranged along the left-right direction so as to be positioned in front of the corresponding heating body 52. Further, a space between the operation device 621 and the operation device 622 in the case 63 is used as a storage unit for the remote operation device 71. The remote controller 71 is housed in the housing part so as to be detachable from the case 63. Here, when the remote controller 71 is housed in the case 63, the front surface of the remote controller 71 is directed upward, and the longitudinal direction of the front surface is along the left-right direction.

  End caps 65 are attached to the left and right ends of the bottom plate 641 using fixing screws 651.

  The length in the front-rear direction of the bottom plate 641 is set slightly longer than the length in the front-rear direction of the operation device 62. Here, a front plate 642 projecting upward is integrally provided at the front end of the bottom plate 641. Further, a rear plate 643 protruding upward is integrally provided at the rear end of the bottom plate 641. The operation device 62 and the remote operation device 71 are disposed between the front plate 642 and the rear plate 643. The rear plate 643 is provided with a connection hole 644 for allowing the connection terminal 625 of the operation device 62 to face the rear surface.

  Further, a protruding plate 645 that protrudes rearward is integrally provided at the upper end of the rear plate 643. Here, a portion of the case main body 64 including the bottom plate 641, the front plate 642, and the rear plate 643 has a U shape in which a side cross section (a cross section in a plane perpendicular to the left-right direction) opens upward.

  In the case 63, a space surrounded by the bottom plate 641, the front plate 642, the rear plate 643, and the pair of end caps 65 and having an open top surface is a storage space for the operation device 62 and the remote control device 71 (operation Container storage part). In this storage space, the operating device 62 is stored with the upper surface facing outside.

  Therefore, for example, when operating the range hood 7, it is only necessary to push the operation button of the remote operation unit 711 while the remote controller 71 is stored in the case 63. That is, the operation signal can be accurately transmitted to the receiving unit 701 of the range hood 7 disposed at a position higher than the cooking table 2 while the remote controller 71 is housed in the case 63. Thereby, it is possible to save the trouble of taking out the remote controller 71 from the case 63 when operating the range hood 7. In particular, the range hood 7 located at a high position such as near the ceiling can be remotely operated at hand (a position lower than the range hood 7). Therefore, the operability is very good for a short person or a person in a wheelchair. Thus, since the stove 5 and the range hood 7 can be individually controlled by the operation unit 6, the labor and complexity of the cooking operation can be avoided. As a result, it is possible to realize a centralized control system that is much more convenient in operation.

  Further, it is not necessary to attach the remote controller 71 to the outer surface of the cooking table 2 using a separate holder or the like. Thereby, the external appearance of the cooking table 2 is refreshed, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in aesthetics due to the attachment of the holder to the outer surface of the cooking table 2. Further, the remote controller 71 does not get in the way. In addition, the problem of losing the remote controller 71 can be solved.

  The upper surface opening 631 of the case 63 has a size that allows the operation device 62 and the remote operation device 71 to be taken out upward. Therefore, the operation device 62 and the remote operation device 71 can be taken out from the case 63 and the arrangement thereof can be changed according to the user's preference. In addition, the operation device 62 and the remote operation device 71 can be easily cleaned. Further, when the stove 5 is changed to another model (for example, when the standard or number of the stove 5 is changed), it can be easily replaced with the operating device 62 corresponding to the model. Thus, since the operation unit 6 is not restricted by the type of the stove 5, it is excellent in versatility. Note that the operation device 62 that is not frequently taken out may be fixed to the bottom plate 641 of the case 63 with screws from below.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the roller unit 61 includes a metal bracket 611. The bracket 611 has a roller mounting portion 612 and an end cap fixing portion 613. As shown in FIG. 5, the end cap fixing portion 613 extends forward from the front end of the roller mounting portion 612. The roller mounting portion 612 is formed in an L-shaped front section (the section in the plane orthogonal to the front-rear direction is L-shaped). On the outer surface of the vertical piece 614 of the roller mounting portion 612, as shown in FIG. Here, the roller 615 is attached to the bracket 611 so as to be rotatable about the left-right axis. Note that “around the left / right axis” means that the rotation center axis direction is parallel to the left / right direction. The end cap fixing part 613 is formed in an L-shaped front section similarly to the roller mounting part 612. The outer surface of the vertical plate portion 616 of the end cap fixing portion 613 is set to be parallel to the outer surface of the end cap 65.

  The bracket 611 is attached to the console 60 by screwing the vertical plate portion 616 to the end cap 65 with an attachment screw 652. In a state where the bracket 611 is attached to the console 60, the roller attachment portion 612 is located behind the console 60 as shown in FIG. 4.

  The two rollers 615 of the roller unit 61 are housed inside the rail 83. Thus, the roller unit 61 is attached to the rail 83 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. Here, the retaining portion 831 prevents the roller 615 from falling off the rail 83.

  By attaching the left and right roller units 61 of the console 60 to the left and right rails 83 of the base unit 8, the console 60 is attached to the base unit 8 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, the roller unit 61 and the rail 83 constitute a moving mechanism that moves the console 60 in the front-rear direction. The moving mechanism is provided on each of the left and right sides of the operation unit 6. The moving mechanism includes an operation use position (position shown in FIG. 1) located at the upper end of the front surface of the cabinet 3 and a storage position (FIG. It is configured to move between the positions shown in b).

  By the way, the operation unit 6 includes a locking means for locking the console 60 slidable forward and backward in a retracted position. The locking means is configured to release the locking of the console 60 by slightly moving the console 60 stored in the operation unit storage unit 36 rearward. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the locking means includes a latch 9 and a striker 66 that is detachably locked to the latch 9. The latch 9 is provided at the center in the left-right direction of the base (mounting base) 80 of the base unit 8. The striker 66 is provided on the protruding plate 645 of the console 60 so as to face the latch 9 in the front-rear direction. The striker 66 is formed in a rod shape whose longitudinal direction is the front-rear direction. As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the tip portion 661 of the striker 66 is formed larger than the other portions.

  As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the latch 9 includes a fixed member 91 fixed to the base unit 8 and a movable member 92 accommodated in the fixed member 91.

  The fixed member 91 includes a movable member storage portion 911 that opens forward. The movable member storage portion 911 is configured to store the movable member 92 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. A guide surface 912 is formed at the front end of the bottom surface of the movable member storage portion 911. The guide surface 912 is an inclined surface that is positioned upward as it extends rearward. A horizontal pressing surface 913 is formed behind the guide surface 912 on the bottom surface of the movable member storage portion 911.

  The movable member 92 includes an elastically deformable locking claw portion 921 and a heart-shaped groove 922. The locking claw portion 921 is formed so as to protrude obliquely downward and forward. The heart-shaped groove 922 is formed in a substantially heart shape when viewed from the side. The movable member 92 includes a heart-shaped engaged portion 923. The heart-shaped engaged portion 923 is a portion surrounded by the heart-shaped groove 922 in the movable member 92.

  A push spring 93 is interposed between the rear wall portion of the movable member storage portion 911 and the movable member 92. The movable member 92 is biased forward by the push spring 93.

  A pin 94 is pivotally supported around the left and right axis on the rear wall portion of the movable member storage portion 911. The pin 94 includes an engaging portion 941. The engaging portion 941 is configured by bending an end portion (front end portion) opposite to the pivoted support portion (rear side portion) of the pin 94 to the side. The engaging portion 941 is slidably inserted into the heart-shaped groove 922.

  Next, the operation of the locking means will be described. FIG. 8B shows a locked state in which the striker 66 is locked to the latch 9. FIG. 8A shows the unlocked state where the striker 66 is not locked to the latch 9.

  In the locked state, the movable member 92 is located at the rear portion of the movable member storage portion 911. At this time, the engaging portion 941 of the pin 94 is positioned in the recess 924 in the front portion of the heart-shaped engaged portion 923, and the engaging portion 941 is locked to the heart-shaped engaged portion 923. Therefore, the movable member 92 cannot move forward. Further, the locking claw portion 921 is elastically deformed by the pressing surface 913 so that the tip end portion moves upward. As a result, the locking claw portion 921 is locked at the front edge of the tip end portion 661 of the striker 66. Therefore, the striker 66 and thus the console 60 are held by the base unit 8 so that they cannot move forward.

  When releasing the locked state, the user first pushes the console 60 slightly backward by hand. When the console 60 is pushed backward, the movable member 92 is pushed backward by the tip portion 661 of the striker 66. As a result, the movable member 92 moves slightly rearward against the urging force of the push spring 93. Accordingly, the engaging portion 941 of the pin 94 is disengaged from the heart-shaped engaged portion 923 as indicated by an arrow A1. As a result, the movable member 92 can move rearward.

  Next, the push of the console 60 is stopped and the hand is released. Thereafter, when the console 60 is moved forward, the movable member 92 moves forward while receiving the urging force of the push spring 93. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8A, the movable member 92 is located at the front portion of the movable member storage portion 911. At this time, the engaging portion 941 of the pin 94 moves backward in the heart-shaped groove 922 as indicated by an arrow A2 in FIG. Finally, the engaging portion 941 is located in the retracting recess 925 at the rear end portion of the heart-shaped groove 922.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, when the movable member 92 moves to the front portion of the movable member storage portion 911, the locking claw portion 921 is in a state where the pressing force from the pressing surface 913 is not applied. Therefore, the latching claw portion 921 is elastically restored, and the tip end portion moves to the lower side which is the guide surface 912 side. As a result, the engagement between the locking claw portion 921 and the tip end portion 661 of the striker 66 is released. Thus, in the kitchen apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the console 60 is what is called a push-open type.

  In order to change from the unlocked state to the locked state, the console 60 may be pushed backward. When the console 60 is pushed backward, the movable member 92 is pushed backward by the tip portion 661 of the striker 66. Therefore, the movable member 92 moves to the rear portion against the urging force of the push spring 93 and eventually becomes locked. Accordingly, the engaging portion 941 of the pin 94 moves from the retracting recess 925 in the heart-shaped groove 922 as indicated by arrows A3 and A4 and is finally locked to the heart-shaped engaged portion 923. .

  By the way, the base unit 8 includes a protruding spring 84 (see FIG. 5) and a damper 85 (see FIG. 4). The protrusion spring 84 constitutes an urging means that pushes the console 60 to the operation use position. The damper 85 constitutes a speed buffering means for the forward / backward sliding operation of the console 60.

  In the present embodiment, a constant load spring 841 is used as the protruding spring 84. The constant load spring 841 is attached to the front end of each of the left and right rail support legs 82. The base end portion of the constant load spring 841 is connected to the drum 842, and the tip end portion is drawn rearward from the drum 842. The distal end portion of the constant load spring 841 is connected to the lower surface of the rear portion of the roller attachment portion 612. The projecting spring 84 has an action of returning from the drawn-out state to the wound-up state, thereby pushing the console 60 forward. The urging means is configured to apply a driving force to the left and right ends of the case 63 of the console 60.

  Therefore, if the locking of the console 60 by the latching means, that is, the latch 9, is released, the console 60 automatically slides forward under the urging force of the constant load spring 841. And the console 60 protrudes ahead from the front surface of the cabinet 3 as shown in FIG. By providing the urging means in this way, the console 60 can be easily positioned at the operation use position.

  On the other hand, when the operation console 60 is stored in the operation unit storage unit 36, the operation console 60 may be pushed backward against the urging force of the constant load spring 841. If the console 60 is stored in the operation unit storage part 36, the console 60 will be hold | maintained in a storage position by a latching means. When the console 60 is stored in the operation unit storage unit 36, the front surface of the console 60 and the front surface of the cabinet 3 are substantially flush with each other.

  Further, the base unit 8 includes two arm holders 86 as shown in FIG. The arm holder 86 is mounted on the base 80 at two locations on the left and right sides inside the rail support legs 82. Each arm holder 86 is configured to support an arm 87 constituting a rotating body so as to be rotatable about a left-right axis. The arm 87 includes an arm shaft 871 serving as a rotation shaft that integrally protrudes from one end of the arm 87 toward the left and right sides. The arm holder 86 is configured to pivotally support the arm shaft 871. As a result, each arm 87 is rotatable with respect to the arm holder 86. Further, the arm shafts 871 projecting inward of the both arms 87 (the center side of the base unit 8) are connected to each other via a connecting shaft 88.

  In addition, a sliding protrusion 872 that protrudes outward (outside of the base unit 8) is integrally formed on the other end of the arm 87 (end opposite to the arm shaft 871).

  On the other hand, arm sliding guides 67 are provided at both end portions on the rear side of the console 60. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the arm sliding guide 67 is mounted on the bottom portion constituted by the horizontal piece 617 of each roller mounting portion 612. The arm sliding guide 67 constitutes a rotating means for rotating the arm 87 about the left and right axes in accordance with the front and back movement of the corresponding side end portion of the console 60. Each arm sliding guide 67 is formed with a vertically long sliding groove 671 that opens inward and upward. A corresponding sliding protrusion 872 is inserted into each sliding groove 671 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.

  For this reason, when the console 60 moves backward, the arm sliding guide 67 attached to each bracket 611 also moves backward. That is, when the console 60 moves rearward, the sliding protrusion 872 of each arm 87 is pushed rearward by the arm sliding guide 67 while sliding in the sliding groove 671 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the arm 87 rotates backward.

  On the contrary, when the console 60 moves forward, the sliding protrusion 871 of each arm 87 is pushed forward by the arm sliding guide 67 while sliding in the sliding groove 671 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the arm 87 rotates forward. That is, the console 60 and each arm 87 are connected by the arm sliding guide 67 and the sliding protrusion 872. As a result, both arms 87 rotate back and forth in synchronization with the slide movement of the console 60 back and forth.

  Further, as described above, the left and right arms 87 are integrally connected by the connecting shaft 88. As a result, the amount of rotation of the left and right arms 87 is the same, and the amount by which each arm 87 moves the roller unit 61 is also the same, so that the front and rear positions of both side ends of the console 60 are relatively shifted. It can prevent that 60 inclines with respect to the left-right direction. As a result, the console 60 can be smoothly slid in the front-rear direction in parallel with the left-right direction of the counter 4. In particular, when the console 60 is stored in the operation unit storage unit 36, the longitudinal direction of the console 60 can be reliably arranged parallel to the front surface of the cooking table 2. Therefore, the appearance of the kitchen apparatus 1 can be improved.

  Moreover, the attachment position with respect to the roller attachment part 612 of each arm sliding guide 67 can be adjusted in the front-back direction as follows.

  The arm sliding guide 67 has a plate-like bottom 672 as shown in FIG. The bottom portion 672 is placed on the horizontal piece 617 of the roller mounting portion 612. Long holes 673 that are long in the front-rear direction are formed in two places in the front-rear direction of the bottom 672. On the other hand, screw holes 618 penetrating vertically are formed at two positions on the front and rear of the horizontal piece 617. In order to attach the arm sliding guide 67 to the roller attachment portion 612, a screw tool 674 passed through the long holes 673 from above is screwed into the screw holes 618. As a result, the bottom portion 672 is sandwiched between the head portion of each screw 674 and the horizontal piece 617. At this time, by adjusting the insertion position of the screw tool 674 in each elongated hole 673 in the front-rear direction, the mounting position of each arm sliding guide 67 can be adjusted in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the console 60 can be arranged in parallel with the left-right direction by adjusting the deviation in the front-rear direction at the left and right ends of the console 60 engaged with both arms 87.

  In addition, the sliding groove 671 of the arm sliding guide 67 in the present embodiment opens upward. Therefore, when the console 60 is attached, the sliding protrusion 872 of the arm 87 can be easily inserted into the sliding groove 671 from above.

  In addition, rotary dampers 851 as buffer means (damper 85) are provided at the left and right rear portions on the base 80 of the base unit 8. The end of the arm shaft 871 protruding outward of each arm 87 is connected to a rotary damper 851.

  When the console 60 slides back and forth, each arm 87 rotates back and forth as described above. Here, the rotary damper 851 serves as a resistance when the arm 87 is rotated. Therefore, the console 60 can be prevented from projecting forward vigorously by the biasing force of the constant load spring 841. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the console 60 that protrudes vigorously from hitting the user, from hitting other members, generating a loud sound, or being damaged.

  Here, the projecting spring 84 and the damper 85 are located below the projecting plate 645 and the bracket 611 of the console 60 stored in the operation unit storage unit 36, and are within the longitudinal dimension of the operation unit 6 in the stored state. Is arranged. Each arm 87 also rotates within the dimension in the front-rear direction of the operation unit 6 housed in the cabinet 3.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the urging means (protruding spring 84) and the buffering means (damper 85) are positioned within the longitudinal dimension of the operation unit 6 housed in the cabinet 3. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure a space for arranging the biasing means and the buffer means behind the operation unit 6. As a result, the front-rear width dimension of the operation unit 6 can be shortened, and a margin is generated in the rear space. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the stove 5 and the cooking table 2 is increased. For this reason, even when the front-rear length of the front portion of the stove 5 of the cooking table 2 cannot be secured sufficiently, the console 60 can be easily projected forward by the projecting spring 84, and the console 85 can be projected by the damper 85. 60 front and rear slide operations can be relaxed.

  In this embodiment, the arm shafts 871 of both arms 87 are connected to each other so that the rotations of both arms 87 are synchronized. That is, the arm holder 86, the arm 87, the connecting shaft 88, and the arm sliding guide 67 constitute an interlocking mechanism that interlocks the pair of moving mechanisms. In the present embodiment, a pair of moving mechanisms and an interlocking mechanism constitute moving means that translates the console 60 in the front-rear direction. For this reason, it can prevent that the console 60 inclines with respect to the left-right direction in planar view, or rattling at the time of a slide.

  In this embodiment, the arm 87 is provided with the sliding protrusion 872 and the console 60 is provided with the sliding groove 671. However, as in the second embodiment to be described later, a sliding protrusion 872 may be provided on the console 60 and a sliding groove 671 may be formed in the arm 87.

  As described above, the kitchen apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes the cooking table 2 having the cabinet 3 formed in a box shape and the counter 4 placed on the upper surface of the cabinet 3. In addition, the kitchen apparatus 1 includes a stove 5 that is fitted into an opening 40 provided in the counter 4 and is housed in the upper space 33 of the cabinet 3 while being incorporated in the counter 4. Furthermore, the kitchen apparatus 1 includes an operation unit 6 that is formed separately from the stove 5 and is used for remote control of the stove 5. The operation unit 6 is formed in a horizontally long flat plate shape, and protrudes from the front side of the upper end portion of the cabinet 3 immediately below the counter 4 in a state where the horizontal direction is along the horizontal width direction of the stove 5.

  Further, the stove 5 has a stove top plate 51 fitted in the opening 40 and a stove body 50 suspended below the stove top plate 51. The stovetop 51 is disposed at a position retracted from the front end of the counter 4 with a predetermined interval to the back of the counter 4.

In addition, on the stove 5, a plurality of heating bodies 52 are arranged in parallel in the left-right direction. The operation unit 6 is configured in a horizontally long shape across all of the plurality of heating bodies 52. Further, the operation unit 6 has a rectangular box-shaped operation device 62 used for operation of the stove 5 and an upper surface thereof opened. In addition, a case 63 that is horizontally long and stores the operation device 62 and a base unit 8 that is attached to the cabinet 3 and supports the case 63 are provided.

  In addition, the cabinet 3 has a storage opening 35 that allows the operation device 62 and the case 63 to be taken out from the front surface of the cabinet 3. The base unit 8 includes a moving mechanism that allows the operating device 62 and the case 63 to slide in and out between a storage position in the cabinet 3 and an operation use position in front of the cabinet 3.

  Therefore, according to the kitchen apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the operation unit 6 for operating the stove 5 is formed in a horizontally long flat plate shape, and is disposed immediately below the counter 4. Therefore, the range in which the operation unit 6 occupies the area below the stove 5 can be suppressed to a small portion with a height dimension directly below the counter 4. Therefore, the space under the stove 5 in the cabinet 3 of the cooking table 2 can be effectively utilized.

  In addition, the operation unit 6 has a width corresponding to the heating body 52 of the stove 5, so that the control operation of each heating body 52 can be easily understood. Further, the operation surface of the operation unit 6 is also directly below the counter 4 and is higher than the prior art, and the visibility and operability are improved accordingly.

  Furthermore, by arranging the stove 5 to be moved backward and supporting the operation unit 6 with the cabinet 3, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the console 60 of the operation unit 6 can be retracted and retracted even directly under the counter 4. With this freely movable configuration, the console 60 can be stored when not in use, and does not get in the way, and the appearance design of the cooking table 2 when viewed from the front is good.

  In addition, the operation device 62 can be separated from the operation unit 6 or the stove 5. Therefore, it can be selectively assembled to the case 63 regardless of the specifications and positions of the plurality of heating elements 52. Therefore, it becomes easy to replace the operation device 62 or the like when the stove 5 is attached.

  The cabinet 3 also has a storage opening 35 that allows the console 60 to enter and exit from the front surface of the cooking table 2. The operation unit 6 includes a moving mechanism that allows the console 60 to slide in and out between a storage position in the cooking table 2 and an operation use position in front of the cooking table 2. Therefore, for example, when the stove 5 is not used, since the console 60 of the operation unit 6 can be stored in the cooking table 2, the operation unit 6 does not get in the way. Moreover, since the operation unit storage part 36 is provided in the upper end part of the cabinet 3, compared with the prior art, the operation unit 6 does not get in the way in the cabinet 3. Therefore, the space in the cabinet 3 can be used effectively.

  In addition, the operation unit 6 is provided with a plurality of operation devices 62 corresponding to the plurality of heating bodies 52. The plurality of operation devices 62 are accommodated in the case 63 side by side in the left-right direction so as to be positioned in front of the corresponding heating body 52. Therefore, the relationship between the heating body 52 of the stove 5 and the operation device 62 becomes easy to understand. Therefore, it becomes easy to operate the stove 5.

  By the way, in this embodiment, the console 60 can be freely stored in and out of the cooking table 2. However, the console 60 does not necessarily need to be stored in the cabinet 3. That is, in the present invention, the console 60 may be fixed in a state of being positioned on the front side of the cooking table 2.

  Moreover, the apparatus which becomes the operation object of the operation device 62 or the remote operation device 71 is not limited to said example, For example, stoves other than the stove 5, such as an electric hoist shelf, a gas stove, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, a rice cooker, etc. An electric cooker for the attached kitchen device 1 may be used. In the present embodiment, the remote controller 71 is wireless, and the controller 62 is wired. However, such a point can be changed appropriately.

(Embodiment 2)
The basic configuration of the kitchen apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the kitchen apparatus 1 of the first embodiment. Therefore, in the following description, the same number is assigned to the same configuration and the description is omitted, and only the characteristic configuration is described.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the left and right roller units 61 of the operation unit 6 in this embodiment include a horizontal roller 619 in addition to a roller 615 (hereinafter referred to as “vertical roller” in the present embodiment). I have.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, the roller mounting portion 612 in the present embodiment is formed in a U shape having an upward front cross section. A pair of left and right lateral rollers 619 are attached to two places on the front and rear of the lower surface of the roller attachment portion 612 so as to be rotatable about the vertical axis. Note that “around the vertical axis” means that the rotation center axis direction is parallel to the vertical direction.

  The front vertical roller 615 and the pair of front horizontal rollers 619 are disposed at the same position in the front-rear direction. Further, the rear vertical roller 615 and the rear pair of horizontal rollers 619 are disposed at the same position in the front-rear direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the roller attaching portion 612 is attached with a pivot portion 680 that pivotally supports each vertical roller 615. This is the same as in the first embodiment. On the other hand, the pivotal support portion 681 that pivotally supports each lateral roller 619 protrudes upward from the bottom portion of the roller attachment portion 612 through a long hole (not shown) that passes through the bottom portion of the roller attachment portion 612. A slide tool 682 is placed on the bottom of the roller mounting portion 612. The pivotal support 681 of each lateral roller 619 is attached to the slide tool 682.

  As shown in FIGS. 13B and 14A, two slide tools 682 are arranged on the left and right. A pivotal support portion 681 of the front and rear lateral rollers 619 arranged on the left side is attached to the front and rear of the left slide tool 682. A pivotal support portion 681 of the front and rear lateral rollers 619 disposed on the right side is attached to the front and rear of the right slide tool 682. As shown in FIG. 13B, the upper and rear two portions of both slide tools 682 are connected by a connecting spring 683, respectively. By both connecting springs 683, an urging force is applied to both slide tools 682 and the pair of left and right lateral rollers 619 connected thereto so as to approach each other.

  Each rail support leg 82 includes a rail (horizontal roller rail) 89 for running the horizontal roller 619 in the front-rear direction in addition to the rail (vertical roller rail) 83.

  The rail 89 is configured to run two pairs of front and rear lateral rollers 619 of the corresponding roller unit 61 in the front-rear direction. The rail 89 is formed in a vertically long plate shape. The rail 89 is attached to the upper surface of the base 80 so that the thickness direction coincides with the left-right direction. A left lateral roller 619 is disposed in contact with the left side surface of the rail 89. A right lateral roller 619 is disposed in contact with the right side surface of the rail 89. A force acts between the left lateral roller 619 and the right lateral roller 619 in a direction approaching each other by the biasing force of the coupling spring 683. Therefore, the rail 89 is sandwiched between the pair of left and right horizontal rollers 619. In this state, each horizontal roller 619 rotates about the vertical axis, so that the roller unit 61 moves in the front-rear direction along the rail 89.

  In the present embodiment, contrary to the first embodiment, a slide protrusion 872 is provided on the console 60 and a slide groove 671 is provided in the arm 87.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the sliding protrusion 872 is provided on the side surface portion of the roller mounting portion 612 of each bracket 611 opposite to the side on which the vertical roller 615 is provided. The sliding protrusion 872 protrudes toward the inside of both roller mounting portions 612. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15, the sliding groove 671 is formed at the end of the arm 87 opposite to the arm shaft 871 side. The sliding groove 671 extends in the length direction of the arm 87. Each sliding projection 872 is inserted into a corresponding sliding groove 671 so as to be slidable in the length direction of the arm 87.

  Therefore, when the operation unit 6 moves rearward, the sliding protrusion 872 of each bracket 611 pushes the arm 87 rearward while sliding in the sliding groove 671 in the length direction of the arm 87. As a result, the arm 87 rotates backward.

  On the other hand, when the console 60 moves forward, the sliding protrusion 872 of each bracket 611 pushes the arm 87 forward while sliding in the sliding groove 671 in the length direction of the arm 87. As a result, the arm 87 rotates forward. Note that when the console 60 slides back and forth, the sliding protrusion 872 moves up and down with respect to the inside of the sliding groove 671.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the protruding spring 84 in this embodiment uses a torsion spring (torsion coil spring) 843 instead of the constant load spring 841. One torsion spring 843 is provided for each arm 87. One end of each torsion spring 842 is connected to the bottom (base 80) side of the base unit 8, and the other end is connected to the arm shaft 871 of the arm 87. Thus, each torsion spring 843 biases the arm 87 so that the arm 87 rotates forward. Under this urging force, the console 60 slides forward, and the console 60 projects forward from the front surface of the cooking table 2.

  In the kitchen apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment described above, the roller unit 61 includes a horizontal roller 619 in addition to the vertical roller 615. Therefore, compared with the kitchen apparatus 1 of Embodiment 1 provided only with the vertical roller 615, the console 60 can be moved now back and forth stably.

(Embodiment 3)
In the kitchen apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the configurations of the operation device 62 and the remote operation device 71 are mainly different from those of the first embodiment. In addition, the other structure of the kitchen apparatus 1 of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1. Therefore, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same components, and the description is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the remote controller 71 in this embodiment includes a connecting portion 712. The connecting portion 712 is provided at the upper end (upper corner portion) of the side surface of the remote controller 71 that is adjacent to the controller 62 when stored in the case 63. The connecting portion 712 is formed in a rib shape protruding toward the adjacent operation device 62 side. The connecting portion 712 is formed to a size that can cover the gap 1000 between the remote controller 71 and the controller 62.

  On the other hand, the operation device 62 includes a concave step 626. The recessed step 626 is recessed at the end on the upper surface of the operation device 62 that is on the remote operation device 71 side when stored in the case 63. The concave step portion 626 is formed on the bottom surface so that the connecting portion 712 is placed in an overhang shape. Due to the overhang structure of the connecting portion 712 and the concave step portion 626, the gap 1000 between the adjacent operation device 62 and the remote operation device 71 is covered. This prevents water from entering the cooking table 2. Further, the plane including the upper surface of the operation device 62 and the plane including the upper surface of the connecting portion 712 (the upper surface of the remote operation device 71) are set to have the same height.

  In the present embodiment, the operation devices 62 are arranged on both the left and right sides of the remote operation device 71. For this reason, connecting portions 712 project from the upper ends of the left and right side surfaces of the remote controller 71. And the recessed step part 626 is recessedly provided in the right end part of the upper surface of the operation device 621, and the left end part of the upper surface of the operation device 622, respectively. This prevents the connecting portion 712 from hindering when the remote controller 71 is taken out.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 16, a male part 713 protrudes from the tip of the connecting part 712. In addition, a female step 627 is formed in the concave step 626 in the concave step 626. The female real part 627 has a shape that fits with the male real part 713 in an uneven manner. That is, the connecting part 712 and the recessed step part 626 have a real structure in which the male real part 713 and the female real part 627 are engaged with each other. Thereby, the watertightness of the joint part between the connecting part 712 and the recessed step part 626 can be further improved.

  In the present embodiment, the operation device 62 and the remote operation device 71 are stored in the case 63 so as to be freely taken out. Here, in order to be able to take out smoothly, as shown in FIG. 16, it is necessary to secure a certain gap 1000 between the adjacent operation device 62 and the remote operation device 71. However, when the gap 1000 is provided, water (spatter water or condensed water) easily enters the cooking table 2 from the gap 1000. In addition, the gap on the side of the gap 1000 between the operation device 62 and the remote operation device 71 is likely to become dirty. In addition, since the gap 1000 is visible from above, the aesthetic appearance is impaired.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described above, the connecting portion 712 protrudes from the upper end corner portion of one adjacent operation device (remote operation device 71) toward the other operation device (operation device 62). Yes. Further, a concave step portion 626 in which the connecting portion 712 is placed in an overhang shape is provided in the upper end corner portion of the other operation device. The gap 1000 can be covered by the overhang between the connecting portion 712 and the recessed step portion 626. Therefore, the design can be improved. In addition, water can be prevented from entering from the gap 1000. In addition, it becomes possible to prevent the gap 1000 from being contaminated, thereby eliminating the need for cleaning. In addition, the upper surface of the remote controller 71 and the upper surface of the controller 62 adjacent to each other appear to be substantially flush with each other via the connecting portion 712. As a result, the appearance is very good.

  By the way, the remote controller 71 requires battery replacement. On the other hand, since the operating device 62 is fed from the stove 5, there is no need to replace the battery. Therefore, the remote controller 71 is more frequently taken out from the case 63 than the controller 62. Therefore, the connecting portion 712 is provided in the remote controller 71. In this case, the connecting portion 712 does not get in the way when the remote controller 71 is taken out. Therefore, maintenance such as battery replacement and cleaning of the remote controller 71 can be performed smoothly.

(Embodiment 4)
In the kitchen apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the configuration of the operation unit 6 is different from that of the first embodiment. In addition, the other structure of the kitchen apparatus 1 of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1. Therefore, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same components, and the description is omitted.

  The case 63 of the operation unit 6 in the present embodiment is configured to house the three operation devices 62 and the remote operation device 71 as in the first embodiment. However, the operation unit 6 in this embodiment includes a holder (remote controller holder, holding case) 69 for housing the remote controller 71 as shown in FIGS. 17 (a) and 17 (b).

  The holder 69 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape whose length in the left-right direction is longer than the length in the front-rear direction. The length of the holder 69 in the front-rear direction is equal to the length of the operation device 62 in the front-rear direction. A storage portion 691 for the remote controller 71 is formed on the upper surface of the holder 69. The remote control unit 71 is stored in the storage unit 691 with the front face facing upward.

  Locking claws 692 are formed on the left and right inner surfaces of the storage portion 691. Locking recesses (not shown) into which the locking claws 692 enter when the remote control device 71 is stored in the storage portion 691 are formed on the left and right outer surfaces of the remote control device 71. Accordingly, the remote controller 71 is held in the storage portion 691 by the locking claw 692. Further, a through-hole portion 693 that penetrates the bottom portion of the holder 69 in the thickness direction is formed on the bottom surface of the storage portion 691, and a bottom surface opening 646 is also provided on the bottom plate 641 of the case 63. The through-hole portion 693 is formed in a size that allows a human finger 1100 or a jig (for example, a tool such as a driver, a daily necessary item such as a ballpoint pen or a pencil) to be inserted therein. Therefore, the lower surface of the remote controller 71 in the storage portion 691 can be pushed through the through hole portion 693. Thus, the remote controller 71 can be taken out of the storage unit 691 by pushing the lower surface of the remote controller 71 and pushing the remote controller 71 upward. As described above, the holder 69 is configured to detachably store the remote controller 71. When the lower surface of the remote controller 71 is pushed upward with a finger 1100 or the like, the remote controller 71 pops up (pops out) upward.

  Therefore, according to this embodiment, the remote controller 71 can be easily detached from the case 63. Therefore, maintenance workability such as battery replacement and cleaning can be improved. Therefore, there is no need for the trouble of hooking and removing the finger on the outer peripheral edge of the upper surface of the remote controller 71 as in the prior art. Further, it is not necessary to provide a step such as a dent for hooking a finger on the outer peripheral portion of the remote controller 71 at the upper end edge of the remote controller 71. Accordingly, the upper surface of the remote controller 71, the upper end surface of the holder 69, and the upper end surface of the case 63 can be formed to be flush with each other. Therefore, the appearance of the operation unit 6 can be improved. Further, it is possible to prevent a gap from being generated among the remote controller 71, the holder 69, and the case 73. Therefore, water can be effectively prevented from entering. In addition, the bottom surface opening 646 of the case 63 can also serve as a drainage hole for draining water. Therefore, even if the drain hole is not separately provided on the bottom surface of the case 63, the drainage property in the case 63 can be improved.

  FIG. 18 shows a modification of the present embodiment. Unlike the third embodiment, the remote controller 71 shown in FIG. 18 does not include the connecting portion 712. Instead, an outer peripheral flange 694 is formed at the upper end of the holder 69. The outer peripheral flange 694 is configured to be placed on the bottom surface of the recessed step portion 626 of the operation device 62. In other words, in the example shown in FIG. 18, by placing the outer peripheral flange 694 on the bottom surface of the recessed step portion 626, the gap 1000 between the outer surface of the holder 69 and the outer surface of the operating device 62 can be covered. Therefore, the design can be improved. In addition, water can be prevented from entering from the gap 1000. In addition, it becomes possible to prevent the gap 1000 from being contaminated, thereby eliminating the need for cleaning. Furthermore, the appearance is improved.

  Further, the outer peripheral flange 694 may be formed so as to go around the upper end of the holder 69. In this case, an inner peripheral recess (not shown) for mounting the outer peripheral flange 694 is formed at the upper end of the inner peripheral surface of the case 63. In this way, the gap between the case 63 and the holder 69 can be covered. This further improves the appearance of the appearance.
