Therefore, the steam processing means 14 for discharging the steam generated from the home appliance to the outside of the warehouse is provided in the upper part of the home appliance storage unit 2, and the steam generated from the home appliance together with the air in the home appliance storage unit 2. Vapor is sucked and discharged out of the warehouse.

Here, when abnormal overheating occurs in the household electrical appliance storage unit 2 due to some trouble during use of these household electrical appliances, many smoke particles are generated due to incomplete combustion, particularly in the initial stage of occurrence. In this case, ascending airflow is generated in the air in the household electrical appliance storage unit 2 due to the generated heat. Therefore, the smoke particle amount detecting means 12 is provided in the steam receiving portion 16 of the steam processing means 14 in the upper part of the household electrical appliance storage portion 2 to detect the amount of smoke particles.

  When the smoke particle amount detection means 12 detects a preset detection concentration, for example, 100 ppm, the control means 15 uses the first power supply control means 10 and the second power supply control means 11 to cause the first power supply means 3 and the second power supply control means 11 to The power supply to the second power supply means 4 is stopped and the operation of the steam processing means 14 is stopped. Since the first power supply means 3 and the second power supply means 4 are connected to a heat utilization device such as a jar pot or a rice cooker, power is supplied to the first power supply means 3 and the second power supply means 4. When is stopped, the self-heating of the connected home appliance stops. At this time, the display means 5 displays an increase in the amount of smoke particles, and the notification means 6 notifies the increase in the amount of smoke particles.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the steam processing means 14 for discharging the steam generated from the household electrical appliance to the outside of the household electrical appliance storage section 2 is provided, and the control means 15 is provided in the household electrical appliance storage section 2. When the amount of smoke particles rises and the output of the smoke particle amount detection means 12 exceeds a certain level, the operation of the steam processing means 14 is stopped. The household electrical appliance housed in the unit 2 stops its operation, and when the device is a heat utilization device, its self-heating is stopped, so that the damage of the cabinet 1 can be prevented from spreading. Further, when the amount of smoke particles exceeds a certain level, the operation of the steam processing means 14 is stopped, so that the supply of air from the outside of the household electrical appliance storage unit 2 can be suppressed and the expansion of damage due to abnormal overheating can be suppressed. .

  Further, since the smoke particle amount detecting means 12 is provided in the steam receiving portion 16 of the steam processing means 14, it is possible to easily detect smoke particles riding on an updraft accompanying heat due to abnormal overheating.

  In the present embodiment, the smoke particle amount detection means 12 is provided in the steam receiving portion 16 of the steam processing means 14, but the steam processing means 14 discharges the air in the household electrical appliance storage part 2 to the outside. Therefore, the smoke particle amount detection means 12 may be provided in the steam discharge path of the steam processing means 14, thereby making it easier to detect the smoke particles during the operation of the steam processing means 14.
