Description

  The present invention relates to a kitchen cabinet provided with a drawer that slides in the front-rear direction with respect to the cabinet body.

  In kitchen cabinets widely used in system kitchens, in order to increase the amount of storage that can be taken out by sliding movement, a tray is provided separately from the drawer that is first slid by the user who wants to take out the storage. It has been.

Patent Document 1 below discloses a drawer cabinet in which a drawer slides along a rail (hereinafter referred to as “drawer rail”) provided in a cabinet body, and a tray is provided above the drawer. A rotatable slide roller is attached to the rear plate of the drawer, and the lower surface of the tray is supported by the slide roller from below. Thus, it is disclosed that the tray can be slid in the same direction (front-rear direction) as the drawer as the user slides the drawer in the front-rear direction or alone.

  Patent Document 2 below discloses a drawer device provided with a drawer (lower drawer) and a tray (upper drawer) that slide in conjunction with each other. Specifically, a pair of left and right rails are provided on the upper portion of the drawer, and the tray is disposed between the pair of rails.

  However, in the cabinet with drawers configured as described in Patent Document 1, the object is to take out the stored items below the tray without removing the tray by sliding the tray back and forth. When the tray is removed and attached to the drawer again, if the tray is placed on the upper end of the drawer and slid backward, the rear end of the tray and the sliding roller collide, and the sliding roller Will not move backwards. In a more severe case, the slide roller and the tray are damaged due to the collision between the tray and the slide roller, and the tray cannot be slid.

  In addition to the above, since the movement of the tray sliding in the drawer to the front side is not regulated in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, when a high seasoning or the like is stored in the front of the drawer, the tray is There was a risk that the seasoning bottle would break due to a collision with a high seasoning.

Even in the cabinet with drawers configured as described in Patent Document 2, the stored items below the tray can be taken out without removing the tray by sliding the tray in the front-rear direction as in Patent Document 1. When removing the tray and mounting it on the drawer again, it is necessary to mount the tray so that the guide rail is sandwiched from above and below, and if the tray is placed on the guide rail and moved downward, There was a risk that the guide rail and tray would be overloaded and damaged. If the tray and the guide rail are damaged, the tray may not be able to slide again. Moreover, since the movement of the tray to the front side is not restricted as in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, when a tall seasoning or the like is stored in the front of the drawer, the tray collides with the tall seasoning. As a result, the seasoning bottle could break.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems. The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the tray movement range when the user removes the tray by cleaning the tray, and attaches the tray to the drawer again after cleaning. It is to provide a kitchen cabinet that can prevent a collision with a restricting stopper portion and can be easily attached when a tray once removed is attached again.

In order to solve the above problems, a kitchen cabinet according to the present invention includes a cabinet main body having a storage space inside, a drawer that can be moved forward and backward by sliding in the front-rear direction with respect to the cabinet main body, and an upper part of the drawer. A drawer, and a drawer is provided on the front plate, a rear plate provided at the rear of the front plate and having an upper end located below the upper end of the front plate, a lower portion of the front plate, and a rear plate. A bottom plate provided between the lower portion, a pair of side plates provided between the front plate and the rear plate on both left and right sides of the bottom plate, and a front-rear direction provided between the front plate and the rear plate above the pair of side plates. The tray has a pair of rods extending substantially horizontally, and the tray has a rod clamping portion provided at a portion closer to the front of the lower surface thereof holding the rod from above and below, and an upper end of the rear plate. By a support member attached to the Since the lower surface is supported from below, it is possible to slide in the front-rear direction with respect to the drawer, and the drawer is provided at the rear of the drawer, and a stopper portion that regulates the area in which the tray slides forward When the tray on the rod is slid backward on either the drawer or the tray, the tray does not collide with the stopper and stops beyond the stopper. And a collision avoiding means capable of sliding backward is provided.

  In the first invention, even when the tray slides largely backward with respect to the drawer and the rear portion of the lower surface of the tray is not supported by the support member, the posture of the tray holds the rod from above and below. It is held by the rod clamping part. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from falling backward. Moreover, since this rod clamping part is provided in the lower surface of a tray, the width direction dimension of a tray is not pressed and storage capacity is not made small. That is, the tray can be stably slid while maintaining the storage capacity of the tray.

  Further, it is not necessary to separately provide an effective rail for sliding the tray. By setting it as such a structure, the raise of manufacturing cost can be suppressed. Further, since there is no increase in frictional force caused by laying a plurality of rails, an increase in operating force during the sliding operation can be suppressed, and a practically excellent cabinet with drawers can be provided.

In addition, since the tray is regulated by the stopper part and the sliding area to the front is regulated, a tall storage item can be stored near the front of the drawer, and the tray is a tall storage item. There is no risk of breakage of the seasoning bottles without colliding with the bottles.

  In addition, since the tray is located above the drawer and can store seasonings and cooking utensils that are frequently used when cooking, the user can open the drawer and use the seasonings and cooking utensils at a glance. Can be grasped. Therefore, it is not necessary to search each time a frequently used seasoning is used, and the cooking work efficiency can be improved.

Furthermore, since the seasoning and cooking utensils are stored, the tray may become dirty and become unsanitary. However, the tray can be removed and cleaned, so that the sanitary state can be maintained. In addition, when the tray that has been removed for cleaning the tray is reinstalled, the stopper part pops out of the drawer, so if the tray placed on the rod is slid backward, the tray and stopper part collide with each other. However, according to the present invention, since the tray can be slid backward beyond the stopper portion by the collision avoiding means, the stopper portion becomes an obstacle when the tray slides backward. Therefore, the tray can be easily remounted, and the tray and the stopper portion can be prevented from being damaged by the collision.

  In the second invention, the collision avoidance means is formed integrally with the support member, and the collision avoidance means and the stopper portion are integrated with the support member, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and it is practical at a lower cost. An excellent cabinet with drawers can be provided.

  In the third invention, the stopper portion is formed integrally with the support member, so that the collision avoiding means, the stopper portion, and the support member are not manufactured separately, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. Can provide a cabinet with drawers that is practically superior.

  In the fourth aspect of the invention, the collision avoidance means guides the movement of the tray so that the tray bypasses the stopper when the tray placed on the rod is slid rearward. In addition, the collision between the tray and the stopper portion can be avoided simply by changing the trajectory where the tray slides, and the operability when the user remounts can be improved.

The fifth aspect of the invention has an inclined surface such that the collision avoiding means becomes higher upward as it goes rearward from the front end, so that the collision between the tray and the stopper portion can be avoided with a simple structure, The manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the operability at the time of remounting by the user can be improved.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, when the tray with the collision avoiding means placed on the rod is slid rearward and is about to collide with the support member, the support member rotates rearward when receiving a rearward force. When the support member is no longer subjected to a rearward force, the stopper part returns to an upright state so that the tray can collide with the stopper part and prevent backward sliding when reattached. The user can easily put it back on. Furthermore, the collision avoidance means can restrict the movement of the tray to the front side by restricting the rotation of the stopper portion from the upright state to the front side. In addition, the user can confirm that the tray is attached to the stopper part when the tray exceeds the stopper part, and it is possible to confirm that the tray is attached to the stopper part. The termination can be prevented.

  In the seventh invention, when the collision avoiding means slides the tray placed on the rod rearward, the stopper is retracted from the slide trajectory of the tray, so that the lower surface of the tray is slid without being separated from the support member. be able to. Thereby, rattling when the tray is slid can be suppressed, and the tray can be remounted without making a loud noise. In addition, since the tray does not move up and down during the slide, the seasoning can be mounted without being caught in the kitchen cabinet even if it is mounted on the drawer with the seasoning stored in the tray.

In an eighth aspect of the invention, the collision avoiding means is configured such that when the tray placed on the rod slides backward and collides with the support member, the support member descends downward, and the support member moves downward. When the force is not received, the support member is configured to rise so that the support member descends downward due to the force of the tray sliding backward and the weight of the tray, so that the tray and the stopper can be prevented from colliding, The tray can be smoothly slid rearward and the tray can be easily remounted. Furthermore, the user can confirm that the tray is supported by the support member because the backward force is unnecessary because the tray exceeds the stopper portion, and the backward force is unnecessary. Thus, it is possible to prevent the mounting operation from being finished before the stopper portion is crossed.

According to the present invention, when the user removes the tray by cleaning the tray or the like, and attaches the tray to the drawer again after the cleaning is finished, the collision with the stopper portion that regulates the movement range of the tray is prevented and once removed. A kitchen cabinet can be provided that can be easily installed when the tray is reinstalled.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to facilitate understanding, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible in the drawings, and redundant description is omitted.

  First, with reference to FIG.1 and FIG.2, FIG.3, FIG.4, the outline of the kitchen cabinet 1 of this invention is demonstrated. 1 and 2 are perspective views of the kitchen cabinet 1 of the present invention, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the drawer 3 and the tray 4 of the kitchen cabinet 1 of the present invention, and FIG. It is a perspective view.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the kitchen cabinet 1 includes a cabinet body 2, a drawer 3, and a tray 4 attached to the drawer 3.

The cabinet body 2 is formed in a box shape from a resin plate, a steel plate, or the like. The internal space is a storage space 5 and is open on the front side. A pair of left and right drawer rails (not shown) extending in the front-rear direction are fixed to the inner surface of the cabinet side plate 14 constituting the left and right side surfaces of the cabinet body 2.

The drawer 3 includes a front plate 10, a rear plate 11 whose upper end is positioned below the upper end of the front plate 10, and a bottom plate 13 provided between a lower portion of the front plate 10 and a lower portion of the rear plate 11. A pair of left and right side plates 12 provided between the front plate 10 and the rear plate 11 are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom plate 13. The side plate 12 has an upper end located below the upper end of the rear plate 11. Above the side plate 12, a pair of left and right rods 20 having a circular cross-sectional shape are provided substantially horizontally between the front plate 10 and the rear plate 11. A rail groove (not shown) extending in the front-rear direction is formed on a side surface on the outer side of the side plate 12, and a drawer rail (not shown) of the cabinet body 2 is inserted into and engaged with the rail groove. Thus, the user can grasp the front plate 10, slide the drawer 3 in the front-rear direction indicated by the arrow FB in FIG. 1 with respect to the cabinet body 2, and move the drawer 3 back and forth in the storage space 5.

  The tray 4 has a storage space whose front and rear lengths are shorter than the drawer 3 by a predetermined dimension and whose upper surface is open, and is provided with a pair of left and right rod clamping portions 40 for fixing the tray 4. The tray 4 has a width direction dimension substantially the same as the width direction dimension of the drawer 3, and is disposed above the upper end portion of the rear plate 11 and below the upper end portion of the front plate 10. The rod clamping part 40 is fixed to the front part of the lower surface of the tray 4, and the tray 4 is attached to the rod 20 of the drawer 3 via the rod clamping part 40.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the support member 30 is attached to the upper ends of the left and right sides of the rear plate 11. The support member 30 supports the lower part of the tray 4 from the lower side of the lower surface of the tray 4 so that the tray 4 supports the movement in the front-rear direction.

  The rod clamping portion 40 is held in a state where the rod 20 is sandwiched from above and below, and is fixed so as to sandwich the tray 4 from the outside. The rod clamping part 40 and the tray 4 are fixed by, for example, screws. Since the tray 4 is fixed by screws, the tray 4 can be attached to and detached from the rod 20 by removing the screws. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the stopper portion 32 fixed to the rear plate 11 is inserted into the tray 4, the tray 4 moves to the front plate 10 of the drawer 3, and is moved to the front side of the drawer 3. The movement to the front side is restricted so that the tray 4 does not collide with a tall stored item.

  Next, with reference to FIG.2 and FIG.4, prevention of the fall of the tray 4 is demonstrated.

  Consider a case in which the tray 4 slides rearward with respect to the drawer 3 and the rear portion of the lower surface of the tray 4 is not supported by the support member 30. In this case, due to the weight of the tray 4 and the weight of the stored items, a rotational moment is generated in the tray 4 so as to lift the front side of the tray 4 around the position supported by the support member 30.

  However, at this time, in the rod holding portion 40 fixed to the front portion of the tray 4, the lifting is suppressed against the rotational moment. As a result, the posture of the tray 4 is maintained and the fall is prevented, and the tray 4 can be stably slid and used.

  Moreover, since the rod clamping part 40 is being fixed from the outside of the tray 4, it is possible to prevent the tray 4 from falling while ensuring a sufficient storage capacity of the tray 4.

  Furthermore, it is not necessary to separately provide a rail for sliding the tray 4 in addition to a drawer rail (not shown). For this reason, an increase in manufacturing cost can be suppressed, and an increase in operating force during a sliding operation can be prevented.

Next, the process of remounting the tray 4 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a side view of the mounting process of the tray 4.

  The support member 30 includes a stopper portion 32 that restricts the forward movement of the tray 4 and a collision avoidance means 31 that prevents the tray 4 and the stopper portion 32 from colliding when the tray 4 is remounted.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the collision avoiding means 31 is configured to be inclined so as to rise from the front toward the rear.

  In the process of attaching the tray 4 to the drawer 3, the user first places the tray 4 on the rod 20, and then slides the tray 4 backward. By sliding the tray to the rear side, it reaches the stopper portion 32 and collides. However, since the support member 30 includes the collision avoiding means 31, the tray 4 travels obliquely upward on the rear side on the collision avoiding means 31. In other words, it is guided so as to bypass the stopper portion 32 and can smoothly get over without colliding with the stopper portion 32, and the tray 4 can be attached to the drawer 3. Accordingly, the tray 4 can be easily mounted, and the tray 4 does not collide with the stopper portion 32 and the tray 4, the support member 30, and the stopper portion 32 are not damaged. Further, the tray 4 supported by the support member 30 is restricted from moving forward by the stopper portion 32 of the support member 30, and may collide with a tall stored item stored on the front side of the drawer 2. Absent.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7, FIG. 8, and FIG. The description of the configuration common to the above configuration is omitted.

  FIG. 7 is a side view of rotating the support member 30 as the collision avoidance means 31a.

  The support member 30 is configured to rotate in the direction of arrow R by the collision avoiding means 31a when receiving the force on the rear side. In addition, it is configured to return to an upright state when it receives no rearward force. As a means for rotating the support member 30, for example, a spring member may be used. Further, the collision avoidance means 31a is restricted from rotating forward from the upright state by the rear plate 11 to which the support member 30 is fixed.

  In the process of mounting the tray 4 on the drawer 3, when the tray 4 is slid rearward and a rearward force is applied to the support member 30, the support member 30 rotates rearward, and the tray 4 moves the stopper portion 32. When passing, the stopper portion 32 returns to an upright state, and the tray 4 is attached to the drawer 3.

  By sliding the tray 4, the support member 30 is rotated and the stopper portion 32 is retracted from the trajectory along which the tray 4 slides. Therefore, the tray 4 collides with the stopper portion 32 and is prevented from sliding backward. Therefore, the user can easily mount the tray 4 and the drawer 3. Further, when the tray 4 passes through the stopper portion 32, the stopper portion 32 returns to an upright state, so that the movement toward the front side can be restricted by the stopper portion 32. Further, the user confirms that the tray 4 is attached to the support member 30 when the tray 4 exceeds the stopper portion 32 so that the force on the rear side is unnecessary and the force on the rear side is unnecessary. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the mounting operation from being finished before the stopper portion 32 is crossed.

  FIG. 8 is a side view of moving the support member 30 in the vertical direction as the collision avoidance means 31b.

  In the process of mounting the tray 4 on the drawer 3, when the tray 4 is slid rearward and a rearward force is applied to the support member 30, the support member 30 moves in the arrow D direction on the lower side, and the tray 4 moves. After passing through the stopper portion 32, the stopper portion 32 moves in the upward arrow U direction, and the tray 4 is mounted on the drawer 3. As a means for moving the support member 30 in the vertical direction, for example, a spring member may be used.

  While the tray 4 is passing through the support member 30, the support member 30 is moved downward by the collision avoiding means 31b. Therefore, the user smoothly moves the stopper 4 by retracting the stopper portion 32 from the path along which the tray 4 slides. The support member 30 can be moved rearward and after passing through the stopper portion 32, the tray 4 can be easily attached to the drawer 3. In addition, after the tray 4 is mounted on the stopper portion 32, the forward movement can be restricted. Further, the user confirms that the tray 4 is mounted on the drawer 3 because the backward force is unnecessary because the tray 4 exceeds the stopper portion 32 and the backward force is unnecessary. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the mounting operation from being finished before the stopper portion is crossed.

  FIG. 9 is a side view in which a collision avoiding means 31 c is provided on the tray 4 in order to avoid a collision between the tray 4 and the stopper portion 32.

  Collision avoiding means 31c that inclines upward as it approaches the rear end is provided behind and below the tray 4 so that the stopper portion 32 is guided around.

  When the tray 4 is about to collide with the stopper portion 32, the collision avoiding means 31c changes the traveling direction of the tray 4 obliquely upward to the rear side to prevent the tray 4 and the stopper portion 32 from colliding with each other. can do. After passing through the stopper portion 32, the tray 4 can be attached to the drawer 3 so that the tray 4 falls from the stopper portion 32.

  As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to specific examples of kitchen cabinets, but those skilled in the art appropriately modified the design of these specific examples as long as they have the features of the present invention. It is included in the scope of the present invention. For example, as a collision avoidance means, a door in which a portion where the tray 4 collides with the stopper portion 32 is rotated only forward may be provided. According to this, when the tray 4 is slid rearward in the process of mounting the tray 4 on the drawer 3, the door is opened forward by the force when the tray 4 collides with the stopper portion 32, and the stopper portion 32 is The tray 4 is slid so as to pass through the opened portion and is attached to the drawer 3. If the tray 4 is attached to the drawer 3, the stopper portion 32 is inserted into the tray 4. Since the door does not rotate rearward, even if the door hits the stopper portion 32 when the tray 4 is pulled out, the door does not open, and the stopper portion 32 can restrict the movement of the tray 4 toward the front side. Of course, since the lower surface of the tray 4 slides without being separated from the support member 30, rattling when the tray 4 is slid can be suppressed, and the tray 4 can be remounted without making a loud noise. Further, since the tray 4 does not move up and down during the slide, the seasoning can be mounted without being caught in the kitchen cabinet even if it is mounted on the drawer 3 with the seasoning stored in the tray 4. it can.
