Description

  The present invention relates to a hanging cabinet provided on a wall surface above a system kitchen, and relates to a lifting cabinet for a kitchen that houses a lifting rack therein.

  In recent system kitchens, in order to secure a storage space as well as under a sink, there is a system in which a vacant space above the system kitchen is effectively used, and a hanging cupboard and a storage are arranged in the space. However, it is a cumbersome work to put in and out the articles from the hanging cupboards and storages provided at such high places. Therefore, in order to make it easy to put in and out the articles to be stored, for example, a lift-type hanging cabinet provided with a lift rack that can be raised and lowered in a cabinet that is opened downward has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

  The system kitchen is typically composed of a sink, cooking space and stove. This is a layout for facilitating a series of operations of washing with a sink and heating the food cut in the cooking space with a stove. The elevating type hanging cabinet is generally provided above the sink or cooking space. In addition to the fact that there is a range hood above the stove and a lifting cabinet can not be installed, it can be installed above the sink or cooking space to lower the contents to the level of the kitchen user's eyes. This is because it is convenient for kitchen users if possible. Therefore, the lift-type hanging cupboard often has a layout adjacent to the range hood above the stove.

  Moreover, the technique which comprises the tableware drying cabinet which dries tableware so that raising / lowering freely is possible like the raising / lowering type hanging cupboard mentioned above is also disclosed (for example, patent document 2). Generally, the tableware drying cabinet is installed on the system kitchen side, but it cannot be placed directly under the sink due to the problem of the area occupied by the sink. Therefore, when the user moves the cleaned tableware to the tableware dryer, the user is forced to move the tableware while holding the tableware. Usability can be improved by the tableware drying cabinet which can be moved up and down.

In such a tableware dryer, as well as tableware, cooking utensils such as cutting boards can also be dried. Moreover, the technique which performs sterilization of a cutting board in the tableware dryer provided in the kitchen is also disclosed (for example, patent document 3).

  The tableware dried by the tableware dryer can be stored not only in the storage of the system kitchen but also in the hanging cupboard, so the tableware dryer and the hanging cabinet are often used at the same time. In this case, it is more advantageous in terms of cost, for example, that the tableware dryer is configured to be built-in in the table so that both can be used simultaneously by one operation and only one drive unit is required.

  In addition to tableware, kitchen utensils that need to be dried include wiping cloths such as cutting boards and cloths. The cutting board has many scratches due to a knife, etc., and even if it is washed away with a detergent, there is a high possibility that germs remain. In addition, since the wiping cloth is left in a wet state for a long time, germs may propagate. Accordingly, the cutting board and wiping cloth may be sterilized in addition to drying as in other kitchen utensils.

  However, when two functions such as sterilization and drying are to be realized with one device, there is a problem that the temperature of the hot air (hot air) cannot be increased so much that it cannot be sterilized sufficiently. Such a temperature difference problem can be solved by forming the sterilization cabinet and the drying cabinet in separate spaces, but it is necessary to prepare a plurality of heat sources, which causes new problems such as an increase in cost and occupied volume.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems relating to the sterilization of cooking utensils such as cutting boards, and the object of the present invention is a height that makes it easy to work while effectively utilizing a vacant space above the system kitchen. In addition, a sterilization cabinet and a drying cabinet are provided separately without incurring an increase in cost or occupied space, and a kitchen lifting and lowering cabinet that can sufficiently sterilize and dry cooking utensils is provided. It is.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, according to a certain aspect of the present invention, a cabinet with an open bottom, a lifting rack that moves up and down the cabinet below the cabinet, and a sterilization cabinet disposed in the lifting rack And a drying cabinet disposed in the lifting rack, a warm air generator that generates hot air and sends it to the sterilization cabinet, and a guide path that guides the warm air to the drying cabinet through a communication hole provided in the sterilization cabinet There is provided an elevating hanging cabinet for a kitchen.

  The space under the worktop of the system kitchen can be effectively used by providing both the sterilization cabinet for sterilizing and heating cooking utensils such as cutting boards and the drying cabinet for drying dishes. Further, when the lifting rack is lowered, the cooking utensil in the sterilization cabinet and the cooking utensil in the drying cabinet can be taken out at a time, so that the movement of the cooking utensil can be performed easily and quickly. Moreover, it becomes possible to make the inside of a store | warehouse | chamber interior into the temperature atmosphere suitable for each function by providing a sterilization store | warehouse | chamber and a dry storehouse separately.

  In addition, hot air exposed to cooking utensils in the sterilization cabinet can be extracted from the communication hole and guided to the drying cabinet through the guide path, so that high temperature hot air (hot air) can be released to the sterilization cabinet. Warm air having a temperature lower than the inside and suitable for drying can be circulated in the drying cabinet. Therefore, the hot air in both the sterilization cabinet and the drying cabinet can be managed with one heat source that generates the warm air in the sterilization cabinet, and the cooking utensils can be thoroughly sterilized and dried without increasing the cost and occupied space. It becomes possible to do.

  The guide path is formed in a double bottom space below the bottom plate of the sterilization cabinet. The sterilization cabinet communicates with the communication hole, and the drying cabinet communicates with a communication port below the partition wall between the sterilization cabinet and the drying cabinet. May be.

  Such a double bottom space can maintain a high temperature for the sterilization cabinet due to the heat dissipation prevention effect like a thermos bottle, and for the drying cabinet, it is lowered to an appropriate temperature by moderate heat dissipation by the bottom plate of the lifting rack. Hot air can be provided.

  The kitchen lifting cabinet is further provided with a drying rack on which the appliance to be dried is placed to form a gap between the bottom and side surfaces of the drying cabinet and the appliance to be dried, and the hot air guided by the guide path is a gap. The device to be dried may be dried through.

  With this drying rack, it is possible to separate the appliance to be dried from the outer wall of the drying cabinet, and it is possible to apply the hot air uniformly to the entire appliance to be dried, so that the appliance to be dried is effective. Can be dried.

  You may further provide the discharge port which discharges the warm air in a drying cabinet above drying cabinet. Such a discharge port can be used to operate a warm air path, and a warm air flow such as a warm air device, a sterilization box, a guide path, a drying box, and a discharge port can be efficiently formed.

  The kitchen lifting cabinet has a ventilation section that projects into the sterilization cabinet and blows out warm air from the warm air heater in a predetermined direction toward an area on which the sterilization apparatus is to be placed, and the sterilization apparatus And a sterilization rack that forms a gap between the bottom and side surfaces of the sterilization cabinet and the sterilized instrument, and the ventilation section supplies the warm air in the direction in which the warm air flows into the gap. You may spray. Thus, the ventilation section can apply the warm air directly to one surface of the sterilized instrument and indirectly apply the other surface through the gap.

  With this configuration, warm air can collide with one surface of the sterilized device at a deep angle, and warm air circulates through the gap on the other surface, so that the entire sterilized device is efficiently heated at once. And a sufficient sterilizing effect can be obtained.

  The ventilation portion further includes a hollow portion into which the warm air from the warm air flows in and an outer wall heated by the warm air taken into the hollow portion, and an inclined surface with which the wiping cloth contacts at least a part of the outer surface of the outer wall. You may have.

  In the above configuration, the outer wall of the ventilation portion is first heated by the warm air, and the wiping cloth is indirectly heated by the heat, so that the wiping cloth is killed by germs without being directly deprived of heat by the vaporization heat. The temperature can be raised to 80 ° C., and the wiping cloth can be sufficiently sterilized in a wet state where it is not dry. Moreover, since the wiping cloth receives gravity and is urged to the inclined surface by the configuration having the inclined surface, the contact between the wiping cloth and the inclined surface can be stably maintained for a long time. Therefore, the heat of the outer surface of the outer wall can be sufficiently transmitted only to the wiping cloth.

  The inclined surface of the ventilation portion may have a substantially triangular cross section. By bringing the wiping cloth into contact with the two inclined surfaces with the top as a boundary, the wiping cloth is brought into contact with each other in a stretched state, whereby tension is generated in both directions with the top as a boundary, and the wiping cloth is hooked on the ventilation portion. Therefore, the contact between the wiping cloth and the inclined surface can be maintained more stably and for a long time, and the heat of the outer surface of the outer wall can be sufficiently transmitted only to the wiping cloth.

  The warm air heated on the outer wall may flow out of the ventilation section and circulate in the sterilization cabinet to dry the wiping cloth.

  With this configuration, one surface of the wiping cloth is sterilized by heat from the outer wall, and the other surface is dried by warm air. Therefore, it is possible to perform sterilization and drying quickly and efficiently.

  The kitchen lifting cabinet may further include a duct that guides the warm air from the warm air to the ventilation section. With this configuration, it is possible to freely arrange the warm air fan and the ventilation section, and the warm air heater and the ventilation section can be arranged in the vertical direction without being juxtaposed on the same plane. Can be improved.

  According to the present invention, a sterilization cabinet and a drying cabinet are provided separately in a height that is easy to work while effectively utilizing a vacant space above the system kitchen without causing an increase in cost or occupied space. The cooking utensils can be sufficiently sterilized and dried, and the sterilization effect can be improved.

  Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, in this specification and drawing, about the component which has the substantially same function structure, duplication description is abbreviate | omitted by attaching | subjecting the same code | symbol. Note that dimensions, materials, and other specific numerical values shown in the following embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the invention, and do not limit the present invention unless otherwise specified.

  This embodiment is characterized in that a sterilization cabinet and a drying cabinet are provided in a lifting rack of a kitchen lifting cabinet (hereinafter abbreviated as “hanging cabinet”), and the functions of both cabinets are covered by a single heat source. Here, in order to facilitate understanding of the present embodiment, the arrangement of the hanging cabinet and the drive mechanism will be described first, and then the features of the present embodiment will be described in detail.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the positional relationship between the system kitchen and the hanging cupboard of this embodiment. In the system kitchen 100, cooking utensils such as fire (heating) and water necessary for cooking are arranged in each storage according to the size. Although the hanging cupboard 110 is installed above the system kitchen 100, the storage part is lowered to the level of the eyes of the kitchen user without opening and closing the door in the high place, and the object is stored by reaching forward. Can be stored or taken out.

  The system kitchen 100 is composed of roughly three parts: a sink 130, a cooking space 140, and a stove 150. In the system kitchen 100, the hanging cupboard 110 is fixedly supported on the back surface of the wall 500 above the region extending across the width of the sink 130 and the cooking space 140. On the other hand, a range hood 160 is fixedly supported on the wall 500 in the same manner as the hanging cabinet, adjacent to the hanging cabinet 110, above the stove 150 that handles fire.

  The hanging cabinet 110 includes a cabinet 170 that is open at the bottom and a lifting rack 180 that moves up and down the cabinet 170 below the cabinet 170. The lifting rack 180 has a storage portion, and most of the front surface is open so that dishes and articles around the kitchen can be taken in and out.

  In addition, an upper door 172 and a lower door 174 are arranged on the front surface of the cabinet 170. When the lifting rack 180 is lowered and appears below the cabinet 170, the lower door 174 is moved upward in conjunction with this. Moving. Therefore, even if the upper end of the lifting rack 180 does not descend from the lower end of the cabinet 170, the open front of the lifting rack 180 appears in front of the user. With this configuration, the movable range of the lifting rack 180 can be narrowed, the lifting operation time can be shortened, and the height of the hanging rack 110 can be increased to increase the volume. A drive mechanism for interlocking the lifting rack 180 and the lower door 174 will be described below.

  FIG. 2 is a view showing a drive mechanism of the lifting rack 180. In FIG. 2, the lower door 174 is not shown for easy understanding.

  First, by the rotation of the drive motor 190, the two wide belts 200 are unwound from the left and right in the horizontal direction. These belts are turned in the vertical direction by turning pulleys 210 (fixed pulleys) fixedly installed in the vicinity of both side plates of the cabinet 170, and the end portions are wound around pulleys 212 (moving pulleys) fixed to the lifting rack 180. It is turned and fixed above the cabinet 170. Accordingly, the lifting rack 180 moves up and down as the drive motor 190 rotates.

  When the elevating rack 180 is lowered, a storage unit capable of storing tableware and cooking utensils appears. In the storage unit, a sterilization chamber 230 and a drying chamber 220 are isolated and installed. The sterilization cabinet 230 forms a space isolated from others by the surrounding sterilization wall and the open / close door, and the drying cabinet 220 is sterilized by the surrounding drying wall and the upper door 172 and the lower door 174. A separate space is formed.

  Thus, the space under the worktop of the system kitchen 100 is provided by the configuration in which the sterilization cabinet 230 that performs sterilization heating of cooking utensils such as wiping cloths and cutting boards and the drying cabinet 220 that dries tableware are provided in the lifting rack. Effective use. Further, when the lifting rack 180 is lowered, the cooking utensils in the lifting rack and the cooking utensils in the sterilization cabinet can be taken out at the same time, so that the movement of the cooking utensils can be performed easily and quickly.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a path of warm air in the sterilization cabinet 230 and the drying cabinet 220. Here, the illustration of the open / close door of the sterilization chamber 230 is omitted for easy understanding. In FIG. 3, the warm air whose temperature has been increased so that it can be sterilized by the warm air heater 254 as a heat source is sent to the hollow portion of the ventilation portion 258 through the duct 256 and further flows out of the nozzle 290 of the ventilation portion 258. Circulates in the sterilization chamber 230. At this time, a communication hole 292 with the drying chamber 220 is provided on the bottom surface of the sterilization chamber 230, and the warm air that has passed through the communication hole 292 is guided to the drying chamber 220 through the guide path 294. Such hot air is mixed with the air in the drying cabinet 220 in the guide path 294 and the temperature is somewhat lowered, but functions to dry the dishes in the drying cabinet 220. And finally, it is discharged out of the lifting rack 180 through the discharge port 298.

  Thus, the hot air exposed to the cooking utensil in the sterilization chamber 230 is extracted from the communication hole 292 and guided to the drying chamber 220 through the guide path 294, so that high temperature hot air (hot air) is released to the sterilization chamber. It is possible to circulate the warm air whose temperature is lower than that in the sterilization chamber 230 and is suitable for drying in the drying chamber 220. Therefore, the hot air in both the sterilization cabinet 230 and the drying cabinet 220 can be managed by a single heat source (the warm air 254) that generates the warm air in the sterilization cabinet 230, without causing an increase in cost and occupied space. It becomes possible to sufficiently disinfect and dry the cooking utensil.

  In addition, the guide path 294 is formed in a double bottom space below the bottom plate of the sterilization chamber 230. The sterilization chamber 230 is a communication hole 292, and the drying chamber 220 is a partition wall between the sterilization chamber and the drying chamber. The communication port 296 communicates with the lower communication port 296.

  Such a double bottom space can maintain a high temperature with respect to the sterilization chamber 230 due to a heat dissipation prevention effect such as a thermos bottle, and is suitable for the drying chamber 220 with appropriate heat dissipation by the bottom plate of the lifting rack 180. It is possible to provide warm air that has been reduced to an appropriate temperature.

  Furthermore, by providing a discharge port 298 for discharging the warm air in the drying cabinet 220 above the drying cabinet 220, the path of the warm air is operated, that is, the warm air released from the bottom side of the drying cabinet 220 is removed from the ceiling. It becomes possible to discharge intentionally, and the flow of warm air such as the warm air 254, the duct 256, the sterilization chamber 230, the guide path 294, the drying chamber 220, and the discharge port 298 can be efficiently formed.

  Here, although the sterilization cabinet is not a sealed space, since the warm air from the warm air heater 254 is first blown only to the sterilization cabinet 230, the pressure of the sterilization cabinet 230 becomes high, and the sealed space is not used. However, inflow of air from another space, for example, the drying cabinet 220 can be prevented.

  Hereinafter, specific configurations of the sterilization chamber 230 and the drying chamber 220 through which the warm air from the warm air heater 254 passes are individually described.

(Disinfection chamber 230)
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the sterilization cabinet 230 of the present embodiment. The sterilization chamber 230 includes a sterilization wall 250, an opening / closing door 252, a warm air heater 254, a duct 256, a ventilation portion 258, and a communication hole 292. In this embodiment, the sterilization cabinet 230 can sterilize the cutting board. Therefore, a normal cutting board that fits in about 48 cm × 27 cm can be placed vertically.

  The sterilization wall 250 forms the periphery of the sterilization cabinet 230 and is provided to be isolated from other spaces in the lifting rack.

  The opening / closing door 252 is formed of a transparent or translucent heat-resistant resin, and is rotatably attached to the lifting rack 180 by a hinge mechanism. When performing the germicidal treatment of this embodiment, a cutting board 268 (hereinafter simply referred to as a cutting board 268) as a sterilized instrument can be installed by opening the open / close door 252, and the magnet 272 attracts the 272. After closing the open / close door 252, the germs treatment is started. Moreover, it functions also as a taking-out port of the cutting board 268 after a miscellaneous bacteria process is complete | finished.

  The warm air heater 254 is disposed on the outside of the sterilization wall 250 and vertically above the sterilization chamber 230, and generates warm air. The temperature of the warm air is set to be slightly higher so that the warm air jetted from the ventilation section 258 described later to the cutting board 268 is around 80 ° C. In addition, a setting of, for example, 95 ° C., which is 80 ° C. or higher, is possible in consideration of the cost and the sterilization effect.

  The duct 256 functions as a conduit for flowing the warm air generated by the warm air heater 254 into the ventilation portion 258. Therefore, one end of the pipe line is connected to the warm air fan 254, and the center and the other end are connected to the two ventilation portions 258.

  If such a duct 256 is used, it becomes possible to arrange | position the warm air fan 254 and the ventilation part 258 freely, and it piles up the vertical direction, without juxtaposing the warm air fan 254 and the ventilation part 258 on the same plane. Since it can arrange | position, space occupation efficiency can be improved.

  Further, since the air pressure in the duct 256 becomes higher as it is closer to the hot air fan 254, in order to equalize the flow rate of the hot air to each of the ventilation portions 258, the size of the inlet from the duct 256 to the ventilation portion 258 is set. It is changed according to the distance between the warm air heater 254 and the ventilation section 258 (not shown). That is, in FIG. 4, the inlet to the ventilation portion 258a on the side close to the warm air heater 254 is smaller than the inlet to the ventilation portion 258b on the side far from the warm air heater 254.

  The ventilating portion 258 has an outer surface formed of stainless steel, protrudes into the sterilization cabinet, and is placed in a predetermined direction toward the left direction in FIG. 4 from the warm air heater 254 in the region where the cutting board 268 is to be placed. It has a nozzle 290 that ejects warm air.

  In such a configuration, since the warm air is directly jetted toward the cutting board 268, the hot air can collide with the cutting board 268 at a deep angle, and effective heat conduction to the cutting board 268 can be performed. Therefore, the cutting board 268 can be sufficiently heated, and a high sterilization effect can be obtained.

  At this time, the cutting board 268 is placed on the instrument rack 260 separately provided in the sterilization cabinet.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a mounting structure for the instrument rack 260 and the cutting board 268. First, four retaining members 262 made of resin are fastened to the sterilization wall 250 with screws on the inner surface of the sterilization chamber 230, and the instrument rack 260 is fitted and latched to the retaining member. . The cutting board 268 is placed on the instrument rack 260 to form a gap between the bottom and side surfaces of the sterilization cabinet 230 and the cutting board 268.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a circulation path of hot air by placing the cutting board 268 on the instrument rack 260. Referring to FIG. 6, the warm air (indicated by a broken line in the figure) generated by the warm air 254 and flowing into the ventilation portion 258 from the duct 256 through the inlet 288 is ejected in the direction of the cutting board 268. Here, of the two ventilation parts 258, the ventilation part 258a directly injects the warm air to the ventilation part side surface of the cutting board 268 (indicated by a solid line in the figure). Moreover, the ventilation part 258b injects a warm air in the direction in which a warm air flows into the space | gap formed by the instrument rack 260 (it shows with a continuous line in the figure).

  The cutting board 268 can be separated from the outer wall of the sterilization cabinet 230 by the instrument rack 260, and the hot air is applied to the portion of the cutting board 268 that does not face the ventilation portion 258 by passing the warm air therebetween. The cutting board 268 can be effectively heated and sterilized. In this way, at least one of the plurality of ventilation portions 258 is applied to one surface of the cutting board 268, and at least one of the other ventilation surfaces is applied to the other surface, so that the entire cutting board 268 can be heated at one time, and a sufficient sterilization effect can be obtained. Is obtained.

  The communication hole 292 is a hole for drawing a part of the warm air circulating in the sterilization chamber 230 into the guide path 294. The drying chamber 220 can receive the supply of warm air through the communication hole 292, and the two functions of sterilization and drying can be performed with one heat source.

  Further, in the present embodiment, by devising the shape of the ventilation portion 258, it is possible to place a wiping cloth on the ventilation portion, and to disinfect and dry the wiping cloth.

  FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing another configuration of the sterilization cabinet 230. Compared to the sterilization cabinet 230 described above, only the configuration of the ventilation section 358 is different here, and the other components have substantially the same function. Therefore, the redundant description regarding components other than the ventilation part 358 is abbreviate | omitted.

  Here, the ventilation portion 358 is made of stainless steel, and includes a hollow portion 376 into which hot air from the duct 256 flows, an outer wall 378 heated by the hot air taken into the hollow portion 376, and hot air that heated the outer wall 378. And a nozzle 290 that flows out of the nozzle. Then, the wiping cloth 370 to be sterilized is brought into contact with the outer surface of the outer wall 378 for sterilization.

  In order to perform sterilization, it is necessary to heat the wiping cloth 370 to 80 ° C., for example. This is because, when heated at the same temperature, the higher the humidity of the wiping cloth, the greater the damage to germs. However, in the conventional method of directly blowing air or hot air to blow off the water, the heat of the wiping cloth 370 does not increase so much by the heat of vaporization when the water is blown off. In the present embodiment, the outer wall 378 of the ventilation section 358 is first heated by the warm air from the warm air heater 254, and the wiping cloth 370 is indirectly heated by the heat, so that heat is taken away by the heat of vaporization. Therefore, the wiping cloth 370 can be raised to 80 ° C., which is the killing temperature of various germs, and the wiping cloth 370 can be sufficiently sterilized in a wet state where it is not dry.

  Here, the ventilation portion 358 has an inclined surface with which the wiping cloth 370 comes into contact with at least a part of the outer surface of the outer wall 378. In such a configuration, since the wiping cloth 370 receives gravity and is urged to the inclined surface, the contact between the wiping cloth 370 and the inclined surface can be stably maintained for a long time. Therefore, the heat of the outer surface of the outer wall can be sufficiently transmitted only to the wiping cloth 370.

  The inclined surface of the ventilation portion 358 has a substantially triangular cross section. When the wiping cloth 370 is brought into contact with two inclined surfaces with the top as a boundary, the wiping cloth 370 is brought into contact with each other in a spread state, whereby tension is generated in both directions with the top as a boundary, and the wiping cloth 370 is hooked on the ventilation portion; Become. Therefore, the contact between the wiping cloth 370 and the inclined surface can be maintained more stably and for a long time, and the heat of the outer surface of the outer wall can be sufficiently transmitted only to the wiping cloth 370. In addition, since the appearance is as if it is hung on a cloth towel, a clean image can be given to the user.

  FIG. 8 is a reference diagram showing another embodiment of the ventilation portion 358. As described above, the ventilation portion 358 has a cross section formed in a substantially triangular shape, and has a shape in which a triangular pyramid is tilted. However, the shape of the ventilation portion 358 is not limited to this, and may be formed in any shape as long as the inclined surface that comes into contact with the wiping cloth 370 is partially formed. For example, in FIG. 8A, the cross-sectional top part (convex part) of the ventilation part 358 in FIG. 4 is a gentle semi-ellipse 380, and in FIG. 8B, the whole ventilation part 358 is further in the shape of a spherical section 382. .

  Further, considering that the object of the present embodiment is the surface contact between the wiping cloth 370 and the ventilation portion 358, the present embodiment is implemented even when the contact surface of the ventilation portion 358 as shown in FIG. It is the category of the form, and the object and effect of the present embodiment can be achieved.

  In this way, the warm air that has heated the outer wall of the ventilation portion 358 further flows out of the ventilation portion 358 and circulates around the ventilation portion 358 to dry the wiping cloth 370.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a circulation path of hot air. Referring to FIG. 9, the warm air generated by the warm air heater 254 and flowing into the ventilation portion 358 from the duct 256 through the inlet 288 first hits the outer wall 378 of the ventilation portion 358 and heats the outer wall 378 itself (in FIG. 9). Dashed arrows). The warm air that has heated the outer wall 378 flows out from the nozzle 290 provided at the end of the ventilation portion 358. Since the nozzle 290 has a slight angle with respect to the vertical, the warm air flows out in one direction, and the warm air circulates in the sterilization chamber 230 (solid arrow in FIG. 9).

  With this configuration, the cutting board 268 is sterilized, and the wiping cloth 370 is sterilized by heat from the outer wall 378 and the other surface is dried by warm air. Therefore, it is possible to perform sterilization and drying quickly and efficiently.

  A part of the circulating hot air is sent to the drying chamber 220 through the communication hole 292 and becomes a heat source of the drying chamber 220.

  As described above, the kitchen lifting cabinet in the present embodiment effectively uses the vacant space above the system kitchen and effectively warms it in a sterilization cabinet provided at a height at which it is easy to work. It becomes possible to heat and disinfect the cooking utensil sufficiently by applying wind, and the disinfection effect can be improved.

(Dry warehouse)
FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the drying cabinet 220 of this embodiment. The drying cabinet 220 includes a drying wall 450, a drying rack 452, and a discharge port 298.

  The drying wall 450 forms the periphery of the drying chamber 220 and is provided to be isolated from the sterilization chamber 230.

  The drying rack 452 mounts a device to be dried and forms a gap between the bottom and side surfaces of the drying cabinet and the device to be dried. Then, the warm air guided by the guide path 294 dries the device to be dried through the gap formed by the drying rack 452.

  The drying rack 452 can separate the device to be dried from the outer wall of the drying cabinet 220, and by making the warm air circulate between them, it is possible to uniformly apply the hot air to the entire device to be dried. It can be dried effectively.

  As described above, the discharge port 298 is provided for intentionally discharging the warm air discharged from the bottom side of the drying chamber 220 from the ceiling, and the warm air heater 254, the duct 256, the sterilization chamber 230, the guide path. It is possible to efficiently form a flow of warm air such as 294, the drying chamber 220, and the discharge port 298.

  As described above, the kitchen lifting cabinet according to the present embodiment is sterilized without causing an increase in cost and occupied space, while effectively utilizing a vacant space above the system kitchen, and being easy to work. A cabinet and a drying cabinet are provided separately, and the cooking utensils can be sufficiently sterilized and dried, so that the sterilization effect can be improved.

  Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such examples.
