  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, while ensuring a cooking space in the corner part of a kitchen counter, the system kitchen which can be guided psychologically so that an operator may come to this cooking space can be provided, and an industrial merit is great. It is.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating the basic configuration of a system kitchen according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view for illustrating the system kitchen according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG.

  The system kitchen 10 of this specific example includes a substantially L-shaped kitchen counter 20 in plan view, and a stove 55 and a sink 60 are provided on substantially the same plane on the kitchen counter 20. That is, the system kitchen 10 includes a kitchen counter 20 formed in a substantially L shape having a first portion and a second portion extending in first and second directions substantially orthogonal to each other. A floor cabinet 23 and a dishwasher (automatic dishwasher) 25 are provided below the kitchen counter 20. The surface of each of these parts is easy to care and clean by adopting, for example, a wall material that is not easily soiled or a mirror-finished or wood-finished door material. Furthermore, it is devised from the viewpoint of universal design. For example, when an elderly person or a handicapped person cooks while sitting on a chair 100, a knee space 54 is provided so that the knee does not hit the lower side of the kitchen counter 20 while sitting, so that work can be performed in an easy posture. It can also be done. The knee space 54 is formed as a space surrounded by the back plate 27 that supports the kitchen counter 20, the side plate 28 of the floor cabinet 23, and the side plate 29 of the dishwasher 25. Furthermore, the kitchen counter 20 above the dishwasher 25 is provided with a sub work space 53 that is relatively infrequently used.

  In addition, the corner of the front side of the conventional substantially L-shaped system kitchen is almost a right angle, that is, 90 degrees, whereas in this specific example, the kitchen protrudes toward the operator at the corner of the kitchen counter 20. An extension portion 21 of the top plate of the counter 20 is provided. The corner angles on both sides of the front surface of the extension portion 21 each have an angle of about 135 degrees. The corner angle is desirably 120 degrees or more. If it is 120 degrees or less, the arm / elbow of the operator may interfere with the corner portion of the kitchen counter 20 during the sitting operation.

  By providing such an extension part 21, the space area between the workers at the corner part of the kitchen counter 20 can be effectively used, and a cooking space 50 described later can be secured.

  At the corner portion of the substantially L-shaped kitchen counter 20, an eye level cabinet 30 whose eye level, that is, the eye level position of the sitting worker is included in the height is connected to the rear surface of the kitchen counter 20. It is provided as follows. That is, the eye level cabinet 30 is provided along the back surface of the kitchen counter 20 on the corner portion of the kitchen counter 20. And the space of the kitchen counter 20 made between the front edge 20a of the extension part 21 and the front surface of the eye level cabinet 30 becomes the cooking space 50. This cooking space 50 is located between the stove 55 and the sink 60, processes the washed food, temporarily puts cooking utensils such as a pan heated on the stove, and serves dishes on the tableware. There are also places where you can perform a series of tasks.

Furthermore, a gap is provided between the kitchen counter 20 and the eye level cabinet 30, and this gap can also be used as an auxiliary cooking space. That is, a space sandwiched between the kitchen counter 20 and the bottom plate of the eye level cabinet 30 is provided as a gap.
FIG. 3 is a schematic view illustrating the planar dimensions of the eye level cabinet 30. The width of the front surface of the eye level cabinet 30 is 42 cm, for example, the depth at both ends of the front surface is 24 cm, and the maximum dimension of the depth is 52 cm. When there is a space of such a size, as will be described in detail later, it becomes possible to completely store a standard size cutting board or bowl.

  In the eye level cabinet 30, two storage portions 39 are provided at substantially right angles along the back of the kitchen counter 20, and storage drawers 40 are provided in the interior thereof so as to be freely slidable. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the storage drawers 40 are pulled out. Even in a state where these storage drawers 40 are pulled out, they are along the back surface of the kitchen counter 20. These storage drawers 40 slide independently along the long axis of the storage unit 39.

  A plurality of shelf boards 45 that are substantially parallel to the top plate of the kitchen counter 20 are provided inside the eye level cabinet 30. The corner surface 45b including the front edge 45a of the shelf board 45 at least at the eye level position and the front edge 20a of the extending portion 21 are substantially parallel to each other when viewed from the sitting position. The corner surface 45 b is a surface that is located in front of the eye level cabinet 30 and is substantially perpendicular to the top plate of the kitchen counter 20. The width direction dimension L2 of the corner surface 45b is the same or longer than the dimension L1 of the front edge 20a.

  In this embodiment, since it takes such a structure, an operator can be induced to come to the cooking space 50 psychologically. Humans have the property that their minds will calm down if they face each other in front of parallel surfaces. In particular, if there is a surface parallel to the eye level position, it will unconsciously work directly on the parallel surface. In other words, it is unintentionally desired to work directly on the corner surface 45b on the front surface of the eye level cabinet 30, and the worker is there to work in the cooking space 50 in front of the corner surface 45b. You can be guided to come. Further, since the width direction dimension L2 of the corner surface 45b is longer than the dimension L1 of the front edge 20a, a wider parallel surface can be formed at the eye level position, and the operator can be guided more effectively. Become.

Next, the eye level cabinet 30 will be described.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram for explaining the eye level cabinet 30 and shows a state in which the left storage drawer 40 is pulled out.

FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the eye level cabinet 30 of FIG.
Although FIG. 4 shows a state in which the left storage drawer 40 is pulled out, the eye level cabinet 30 can pull out or store the storage drawer 40 independently or simultaneously in the direction of the stove 55 or the sink 60. Can do. That is, since the equipment can be sorted and stored in the two storage drawers 40 according to the usage, the work can be performed more smoothly.
Each storage drawer 40 is formed of a front plate 70, a side plate 71, and a bottom plate 72.

FIGS. 6A and 6B are schematic views illustrating the structure of the storage drawer 40. FIG. 6A illustrates a state in which the storage drawer 40 is pulled out from the storage unit 39, and FIG.
A guide rail 15 and a roller 16 with a guide are provided as a pair on the back side inside the storage unit 39 and the back side of the side plate 71 of the storage drawer 40, and are slidably supported. Note that the guide rail 15 and the guide roller 16 may be provided on the bottom of the storage unit 39 and the bottom plate of the storage drawer 40.

  Further, a handle portion 37 is provided on the front plate 70 of each storage drawer 40. The handle portion 37 is formed over the entire height of the front plate 70 so that it can be pulled out regardless of which part is gripped. Further, since the handle portion 37 is provided so as to extend forward from the front plate 70 toward the worker, the worker can easily reach the handle portion 37. The handle portion 37 and the front plate 70 may be separate parts, and the dimensions and shape can be changed as appropriate.

  In the storage space of these storage drawers 40, a basket-like storage jig for holding equipment such as cooking utensils, seasonings, and sink 60 supplies required for work can be provided as appropriate. A plurality of fan-shaped shelf boards 45 are provided in the eye level cabinet 30 in parallel with the top board 36. Thereby, storage can be increased without interfering with the cooking space 50, and since approach is also easy, it is possible to shorten a work flow line.

  FIG. 7 is a top view illustrating the state in which the storage drawer 40 of the eye level cabinet 30 is (a) pulled out or (b) stored in the system kitchen 10 illustrated in FIG. 1.

  The system kitchen 10 of the present embodiment is provided with the eye level cabinet 30 so that the work position is in front of the stove 55, in front of the cooking space 50, in front of the sink 60, in front of the sub work space 53, Have A work flow line 65 connecting these four work positions is a right triangle.

  In FIG. 7, the work frequency at each work position is illustrated by the size of the black circle. That is, in this specific example, the work frequency in the cooking space 50 is high, and conversely, the work frequency is low in front of the stove 55, in front of the sink 60, and in the sub work space 53.

That is, in this specific example, by providing the eye level cabinet 30 on the rear side of the corner portion of the cooking space 50 as will be described later, the worker is psychologically guided to the cooking space 50, but the worker moves slightly. It is possible to move smoothly and easily in front of the stove 55 and in front of the sink 60. That is, the worker can be guided psychologically in front of the cooking space 50 to focus on the work in the cooking space 50 with a high work frequency, and the amount of movement of the worker to a place with a low work frequency. Therefore, the work can be shared and the work efficiency can be dramatically improved.
Further, the eye level cabinet 30 having both wings is provided in consideration of work on the stove 55 and the sink 60 with low work frequency, so that the storage drawer 40 can be slid even in the state in front of the stove 55 and the sink 60. By doing so, necessary equipment can be taken out and stored. Therefore, the efficiency of the work itself in the stove 55 and the sink 60 can be dramatically improved.
Furthermore, since there is a gap between the bottom of the storage drawer 40 in the pulled-out state and the kitchen counter 20, a seasoning or the like can be placed in this gap, which can be used as an effective space.

  In the present embodiment, since the configuration as described above is adopted, the worker can be psychologically guided to come to the cooking space 50. Humans have the property that their minds will calm down if they face each other in front of parallel surfaces. In particular, if there is a surface parallel to the eye level position, it will unconsciously work directly on the parallel surface. In other words, it is unintentionally desired to work directly on the corner surface 45b on the front surface of the eye level cabinet 30, and the worker is there to work in the cooking space 50 in front of the corner surface 45b. You can be guided to come.

Here, the width direction dimension L2 of the corner surface 45b of the eye level cabinet 30 is desirably larger than the width L1 of the front edge 20a of the extending portion 21.
FIG. 8 is a perspective view illustrating a case where the width direction dimension L2 of the corner surface 45b is shorter than the dimension L1 of the front edge 20a.
FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram for illustrating a case where the width direction dimension L2 of the corner surface 45b is longer than the dimension L1 of the front edge 20a. In this specific example, the eye level cabinet 30 is provided with a sliding door described later.

  As apparent from a comparison between FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, in the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 8, the eye level cabinet protruding narrowly is provided in front of the extension portion 21. When I face the exit part 21, I feel psychological instability. On the other hand, in the case of the specific example shown in FIG. 9, there is a sense of stability because a wide plane is provided in parallel to the front edge 20a on the front surface of the extension portion 21. A calm feeling is obtained. In other words, it is possible to proceed with cooking work comfortably in a stable environment.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the corner surface 45b and the front edge 20a of the extending portion 21 are substantially parallel to each other. The effect is that the mind is calm and the work efficiency there is high. In addition, since the front edge 20a of the extension portion 21 is a straight line, the operator can work while hitting the abdomen when working, and an eye level cabinet 30 for storing equipment used for cooking, tool ingredients, etc. immediately in front. Since it is also provided, the work in the cooking space 50 becomes easier. Thus, the worker comes unconsciously to the cooking space 50 that is psychologically calm and easy to work. As a result, the operator can be guided more psychologically from the viewpoint of ease of use.

Furthermore, the fact that the configuration viewed from the front of the extension portion 21 is almost symmetrical also acts on the psychological stability.
10 and 11 are a schematic perspective view and a schematic plan view illustrating the case where the eye level cabinet 30 is formed asymmetrically in the left-right direction.
Also in the case of this specific example, the dimension in the width direction of the corner surface of the eye level cabinet 30 is shorter than the dimension of the front edge 20a of the extension part 21, and when viewed from the front of the extension part 21, the eye level cabinet The front surface of 30 is biased to the right side, and a sense of instability and discomfort is felt. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, it is formed symmetrically when viewed from the front of the extending portion 21, and a sense of stability is obtained.

  In addition, according to this specific example, as shown in FIG. 2, even when the storage drawer 40 is pulled out to the maximum extent, the tip of the storage drawer 40 protrudes toward the operator from the line 20d that is a line extending the front edge 20a. You can also avoid it. In this way, all the items stored in the storage drawer 40 do not enter the visual field range of the worker who works in the cooking space 50 and there is no blind spot. In addition, there is little need to twist the body in order to take out the stored items, and it is possible to perform a reasonable work.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic view illustrating the case where the storage drawer 40 of the eye level cabinet 30 illustrated in FIG. 2 is stored on both sides. As is apparent from the figure, in the state in which the storage drawer 40 is stored, the front end (front plate 70) of the storage drawer 40 is seen from the back of the line extending the front surface (corner surface) of the eye level cabinet 30. It is designed to be located on the side. Therefore, the effect of the corner surface that the presence of the front plate 70 psychologically guides the worker is not reduced.

  FIG. 13 is a schematic view illustrating a case where the storage drawer 40 of the eye level cabinet 30 is stored on both sides. However, in this case, the front plate 70 of the storage drawer 40 protrudes before the extension line of the front surface (corner surface) of the eye level cabinet 30 even during storage. However, since the front surface (corner surface) of the eye level cabinet 30 and the front plate 70 of the storage drawer 40 are substantially parallel, the front plate 70 exhibits a synergistic effect with the effect of the corner surface that psychologically guides the operator. .

  FIG. 14 is also a schematic view illustrating the case where the storage drawer 40 of the eye level cabinet 30 is stored on both sides. In this case, the front plate 70 of the storage drawer 40 is substantially flush with the front surface (corner surface) of the eye level cabinet 30 during storage. Therefore, a wider corner surface is born, and the effect of the corner surface and the synergistic effect of psychologically guiding the worker are exhibited.

  As described above, the starting point of the work operation is the work in the cooking space 50 using a cutting board or the like, and the work using the sink and the work using the stove move radially around this. In this embodiment, the cooking space 50 is provided in the corner part which is the substantially center of the substantially L-shaped kitchen counter 20, and it can be psychologically guided so that an operator may come here. For this reason, the corner portion, which is substantially in the center of the kitchen counter 20, can be used as a home position so that work using a sink or work using a stove can be performed radially, and a series of work can also be efficiently performed. As a result, it becomes easier to induce the worker psychologically because of the ease of use.

  In addition, if the storage drawer 40 of the eye level cabinet 30 is pulled out, it is not necessary to move from the spot even when working with a sink or stove, so the work efficiency of working with a sink or stove is eliminated. It can also improve itself. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the side plate 71 of the storage drawer 40 pulled out and the front edge 20c in front of the sink of the kitchen counter 20 and the front edge 20b in front of the stove are substantially parallel, so It does not protrude to the operator side and does not cause a feeling of pressure.

FIG. 15 is a schematic view illustrating the dimensional relationship of the cooking space.
A dimension L3 (a depth dimension of the cooking space 50) between the front edge 20a of the extension portion 21 and the front surface of the eye level cabinet 30 is a dimension in which a cutting board or bowl, which is a central tool used for cooking, can be placed, and the eye level. The size needs to reach the cabinet 30. Here, the size of the cutting board is considered to be 20 centimeters when the workability is taken into consideration. Since the size from the abdomen to the fingertip of an adult woman is about 70 centimeters for a short person, it is thought that the reason that the upper body is bent slightly and the hand reaches the eye level cabinet 30 is about 65 centimeters as shown in FIG. .

  Therefore, it is desirable that the dimension range (the depth dimension range of the cooking space 50) between the front edge 20a of the extending portion 21 and the front surface of the eye level cabinet 30 is 20 centimeters to 65 centimeters. Furthermore, if it is 60 centimeters, considering that it is easy to reach the eye level cabinet 30 and that the dimension from the elbow to the fingertip of an adult woman is about 30 centimeters for a short person, 30 centimeters to 60 centimeters It is more desirable from the viewpoint of workability. Furthermore, considering a person with a long dimension from the elbow to the fingertip of an adult female, the dimension from the elbow to the fingertip is about 45 centimeters. In this way, when taking out necessary cooking utensils and seasonings from the eye level cabinet 30, it can be taken out by simply reaching out without moving, reducing the "work flow line". Can be performed smoothly and easily, so that the operator can be guided more psychologically.

  According to the present embodiment, when the operator faces the eye level cabinet 30, both ends in the width direction of the corner surface 45b are projected outward from both ends of the front edge 20a. In this way, the operator's mind is calmed down more easily than when the one end of the corner surface 45b in the width direction is on the outside, and the operator can be guided more psychologically.

  The front edge 20a and the corner surface 45b can also be arranged so that the angle θ (see FIG. 17) of the corner portion on the rear surface side of the substantially L-shaped system kitchen is substantially symmetric with respect to the straight line that divides into two. In this way, as the human psychology, when facing directly in the middle of the left-right symmetrical shape, the feeling of pressure is the least, and the operator is more psychologically guided.

FIG. 16 is a schematic cross-sectional view for illustrating a cross section near the cooking space 50 of the system kitchen according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1.
As shown in the figure, a gap 31 may be provided between the top plate of the kitchen counter 20 and the bottom surface of the eye level cabinet 30. This gap can be, for example, about 140 millimeters, and for example, a standard-sized bowl can be accommodated in this gap. In addition, according to the present embodiment, when the operator in the sitting position reaches on the kitchen counter 20, the bowl or the like can be taken in and out of the gap below the base plate of the eye level cabinet 30 without interfering with the bottom plate. . Further, since the gap under the eye level cabinet 30 can be seen by the worker in the sitting position, the operation is easy. However, the bottom surface of the eye level cabinet 30 is set below the eye level position EL of the worker in the sitting position. By doing so, it is possible to secure the corner surface 45b at the eye level position EL, so that the above-described operator guidance effect is not lost.
As a result of the study, the present inventor has come to the knowledge that it is desirable to set the gap 31 to about 14 centimeters in consideration of cooking workability and storage of tools and materials. Further, at this time, it has been found that it is desirable that the space in the plane direction of the eye level cabinet 30 is 25 cm or more in width and 20 cm or more in depth as shown in FIG. If such a space can be secured, the diameter of not only a cutting board but also a general monkey or ball is about 23 centimeters, so that they can be stored and do not get in the way.

If such a gap 31 is provided, the working space for cooking becomes wider and the work is facilitated, and other tools and materials used for cooking can be stored. You can do a lot of work while you are at home without moving. In particular, it is possible to further improve the work efficiency by storing a cutting board, which is a tool that is the center of cooking work, or by providing a means for storing the cutting board. It becomes easy.
In particular, if a cutting board, which is a tool for cooking work, is stored, or if a means for storing the cutting board is provided separately, the work can be performed without moving, so the work efficiency can be further improved. It becomes easier to guide the person psychologically.
In the present embodiment, the eye level position EL is included in the height of the eye level cabinet 30 even in the sitting position. Therefore, even if it is the system kitchen 10 which has the knee space 54 and assumes sitting work, an operator can be induced psychologically. Further, since the slide opening / closing door handles 32c and 33c, which will be described later, are provided below the eye level position EL of the sitting worker, it is not necessary for the sitting worker to look up the handles 32c and 33c when opening and closing. Less burden.
Further, the space from the system kitchen side (back side) of the knee space 54 to the grounding portion of the chair on which the sitting worker is sitting becomes the support base surface S. Since the range of the support base surface V is a mechanically stable work area, it is desirable to make this part a free space without providing a cabinet or the like. Therefore, in order to make the eye level cabinet 30 out of the range of the support base surface S, the front surface (corner surface) of the eye level cabinet 30 is provided behind the knee space 54 when viewed from the operator side. It can also be.

  A sliding door can be provided on the front surface of the eye level cabinet 30. In this way, since the door front surface becomes the corner surface 45b, a clearer and wider corner surface can be secured. Moreover, since it does not protrude to the operator side if it is a slide type, the cooking space 50 does not become narrow and the feeling of pressure does not increase. As a result, the operator feels less pressured and calms down, so that the operator can be guided more psychologically.

  In addition, it is neat and clean just by providing a door. Furthermore, if the door is made of an opaque material, the contents stored in the eye level cabinet 30 cannot be seen, and there is no complicated feeling, so the feeling of pressure is further reduced. On the other hand, if it is made semi-transparent, it becomes possible to identify the stored item, and at the same time, the feeling of discomfort is reduced and the aesthetic appearance is excellent. As a result of the study, the present inventor has obtained knowledge that it is desirable that at least a part of the door is made of frosted glass or translucent resin, and that it is more desirable if almost the entire surface is made of frosted glass or translucent resin. . And by employ | adopting such a structure, it can make it easier to guide an operator further psychologically. Moreover, if a door is provided in the eye level cabinet, the insect repellent effect is enhanced and an excellent hygiene effect is produced.

  In addition, as a result of examination, the inventor is desirable that the entire surface of the door is flat because the corner surface becomes clear, but the effect of psychologically guiding the operator is not lost if it is a slight curve. I also got the knowledge.

The door of the eye level cabinet 30 illustrated in FIG. 4 is a vertical slide type.
18 and 19 are schematic cross-sectional views of the eye level cabinet 30 illustrated in FIG. For convenience of explanation, the shelf plate 45 provided on the bottom plate 46 has one stage. The upper door 32 and the lower door 33 include frame bodies 32a and 33a and ground glass windows 32b and 33a, and handles 32c and 33c are provided below the frame bodies 32a and 33a. The upper door 32 and the lower door 33 are held at arbitrary positions by balance means (not shown). 18 illustrates a state where the lower door 33 is opened, and FIG. 19 illustrates a state where the upper door 32 is opened. In this way, in the case of the up / down sliding door, the force of twisting the operator's body to the left and right does not act at the time of opening and closing, so opening and closing is easy. Further, for example, even when an operator sitting on a rotatable chair 100 (see FIG. 1) opens and closes the door, the body does not sway from side to side.

  20 and 21 also show a specific example in which a vertical sliding door is provided. In this specific example, a so-called blind shutter 34 is provided, FIG. 20 shows a state where the blind shutter 34 is closed, and FIG. 21 shows a state where the blind shutter 34 is opened about half.

  22 and 23 are schematic views for illustrating a left-right sliding door. Note that the configuration of the door is the same as the specific example shown in FIG. However, in the case of the left / right slide type, no balancing means is required. FIG. 23 shows a state where the left door is opened.

24 and 25 show a specific example in which a left / right open / close blind shutter is provided.
24 shows a state in which the blind shutter 35 is closed, and FIG. 25 shows a state in which the blind shutter 35 is opened about half.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the structure and type of doors exemplified above, and the material and color of the doors can be appropriately selected in consideration of the eye level cabinet body, the kitchen counter, and the like.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, illumination means may be provided above the front surface of the eye level cabinet 30.
FIG. 26 is a schematic diagram showing a specific example in which illumination means is provided above the eye level cabinet 30.
In this specific example, a wall cabinet 80 is provided on the eye level cabinet 30. And the spot illumination 82 is provided in the lower surface of the wall cabinet 80, and the cooking space 50 which spreads ahead of the eye level cabinet 30 with the spot light L and contains the extension part 21 can be illuminated. If the cooking space 50 can be illuminated by the illumination means, not only the cooking operation is facilitated, but also the operator can be guided more psychologically by the spotlight effect, and the cooking operation can be performed comfortably.

FIG. 27 is a schematic diagram for explaining a cooking space 50 in the present embodiment.
Here, the range in which the work can be easily performed with the side lightly tightened in the order that is close to the worker P is “region 1” (for example, an effective radius of about 30 centimeters centered on the shoulder), and the armpit is bent without bending the upper body. The range reached by extending the arm from “Area 2” (for example, an effective radius of about 50 cm centered on the shoulder) and the range reached by bending the upper body forward are “Area 3”.
For example, the work at hand, such as cutting ingredients on a cutting board or kneading ingredients using a bowl, is performed in the area 1 area, and the area 2 area is used for temporarily placing things used during the work. When used, the work can be performed easily and quickly, and the areas 1 and 2 can be said to be areas that are worthy of work frequently used as described above. In addition, since the area | region of the above-mentioned cooking space 50 also includes the time when the upper body is bent a little, the area 1 and the area 2 are a little wider in the depth direction.

  On the other hand, the region 3 needs to bend the upper body and is not suitable for high-frequency work, and thus tends to be a so-called “dead space”.

  In the present embodiment, in consideration of the fact that the corner region 3 of the substantially L-shaped counter 20 is likely to become a dead space and is sandwiched between the stove 55 and the sink 60. An eye level cabinet 30 having both wings is provided in the dead space. By doing so, the equipment necessary for the work can be taken out and stored immediately without affecting the work space consisting of the areas 1 and 2 at all.

FIG. 28 is a schematic view illustrating the arrangement of a stove and a sink when a working space is secured on at least one of the left and right sides of the extending portion 21.
With such a work space S, it is convenient to temporarily place materials and seasonings in the work in the cooking space 50. However, if this space is made too large, it will be difficult to reach the temporarily placed materials and seasonings, and the stove 55 and sink 60 will also move away, which is inconvenient. As a result of the examination, the present inventor obtained a virtual line parallel to the extension portion 21 passing through the intersection of the cooking space side end surface of the stove or sink and the front edge of the kitchen counter, and this virtual line and the extension. It came to the knowledge that it was desirable for the distance with the part 21 to be within 30 centimeters. In addition, they have also found that it is more desirable to make this distance within 15 centimeters. As shown in FIG. 29, since the thickness of the person P's body is about 20 to 30 centimeters, this working space can be used without difficulty if the above-mentioned distance is within 30 centimeters. Since the distance from the center of the person's shoulder to the abdomen is about 10 to 15 centimeters, the work space can be used more comfortably if the distance is within 15 centimeters.

FIG. 30 is a schematic view illustrating specific dimensions in the vicinity of the cooking space 50.
The length of the front edge 20a of the extension part 21 can be set to 360 millimeters, for example. Even in a fat man, the maximum width of the stomach part is about 350 millimeters, so that it does not protrude beyond the front edge 20a. The area indicated by the center ellipse in the figure is the cooking space 50 area, and the left and right elliptical areas are sub cooking spaces used for temporary placement of tools and ingredients. However, it is not necessarily limited to these dimensions.

  By the way, in this embodiment, since the cooking space 50 is sandwiched between the stove 55 and the sink 60, it is necessary to consider the relationship between the distance between them and workability / safety. In particular, the distance from the stove is important for safety.

First, the relationship between the cooking space 50 and the stove 55 will be described.
When the stove 55 is far away from the cooking space 50, it is difficult to visually recognize the state of the pan placed on the stove 55 from the cooking space 50. On the other hand, if the distance to the stove 55 is too close, the work in the cooking space 50 is disturbed, and it is dangerous if the worker's elbow or the like hits a pan or the like. The inventor obtained the trajectory of the arm / elbow when looking back from the state of facing in the cooking space 50 from the simulation, and examined the position where it does not interfere with the pan placed on the stove 55.

  FIG. 31 is a schematic diagram in the case of simulating the trajectory of the arm / elbow when looking back to the stove 55 side from the state of facing the cooking space 50. A substantially triangular area 34 in the figure is the range of the trajectory of the arm / elbow.

  FIG. 32 is a graph showing the minimum distance between the cooking space 50 and the stove 55 where the trajectory of the arm / elbow does not interfere with each height of the operator. The area above the line in this graph is an area where the arm / elbow does not hit and the work can be performed safely. This simulation assumes that the worker is sitting on a chair. This is because the arm / elbow position is lower when sitting, making it easier to hit the pan. Further, the distance L4 from the stove on the vertical axis to the front edge end means the distance between the center of the stove closest to the cooking space 50 and one end of the front edge 20a.

  FIG. 33 is a graph showing the maximum distance that one stove enters the field of view from an operator who cooks in the cooking space 50. In this case, when the gaze point is almost in front, such as cutting board work, the distance at which at least one stove enters the peripheral visual field without moving the face and the contents can be confirmed is obtained. It should be noted that the peripheral viewing angle in the state of gazing at the front is 130 degrees. Since the lower region of the line in this graph is in the field of view, one of the stoves can be confirmed. This simulation also assumes a case where an operator is sitting on a chair. The distance L4 from the stove on the vertical axis to the front edge end refers to the distance from the center of the stove closest to the cooking space 50 to one end of the front edge 20a.

  FIG. 34 is a superposition of FIG. 32 and FIG. 33 described above. From this graph, it is possible to know the optimum distance between the cooking space 50 and the stove 55 that can achieve both compatibility with a pan and the like and visibility (safety and workability). In this case, considering that there are many women cooking, if the height is 150 centimeters to 170 centimeters, the hatched area shown in the graph is the optimum range (30 centimeters to 35 centimeters). )

Next, the relationship between the cooking space 50 and the sink 60 will be described.
As the distance to the sink 60 increases, the moving distance increases, so that the overall workability including the case of using the sink is deteriorated. On the contrary, when the distance to the sink 60 is made extremely close, the cooking space 50 is taken away by the sink 60 and the workability of cooking deteriorates. Therefore, an experiment was performed to determine how far the sink 60 was released when the worker's subjectivity deteriorated (whether it felt difficult to work).

FIG. 35 is a diagram schematically illustrating a state where the sink 60 is moved away from the corner portion.
FIG. 36 is a pie chart showing the subjective change when the sink 60 is moved away from the corner. The numerical value above the pie chart shows the distance L5 from one end of the leading edge 20a to one end of the sink 60. Moreover, the numerical values of 1 to 5 indicating the color classification of the pie chart diagram indicate that the subjectivity worsens as the numerical value decreases (the closer to 1 the harder the work is felt). As can be seen from these pie charts, the smaller the distance to the sink 60, the better the subjectivity, and it can be seen that almost 30% of the subjectivity becomes worse when it exceeds 30 centimeters.

  From the results described above, the distance L4 from the center of the stove to one end of the leading edge 20a is 30 cm to 35 cm, and the distance L5 from one end of the leading edge 20a to one end of the sink 60 is 0 cm to 30 cm. It turns out that it is suitable to do.

  FIG. 37 is a diagram schematically showing the relationship between the sitting worker and the system kitchen in the present embodiment. By providing the knee space 54, the worker can easily proceed with the cooking work in the cooking space 50 while sitting on the chair 100.
