Description

  Aspects of the invention generally relate to a system kitchen.

  Some recent system kitchens store a kitchen knife in a floor cabinet provided below the sink, for example, to avoid cluttering the kitchen. Among them, a generally well-known system kitchen is one in which a kitchen knife is stored in a kitchen knife provided on, for example, a hinged door under a sink or a back surface (inside surface) of a front plate of a drawer (Patent Document 1). ). However, in the kitchen described in Patent Document 1, the user needs to bend down and put out the knife. For this reason, a burden is placed on the legs, and it is somewhat troublesome to put out and put out the kitchen knife.

  In addition, there is a sink in which a knife holder provided on the inner side of a curtain plate constituting the cabinet stores the knife with its handle or blade facing sideways (Patent Document 2). However, in the sink described in Patent Document 2, the handle of the stored knife is oriented in the horizontal direction (left direction or right direction). Therefore, it is difficult to take out the kitchen knife from either the left or right side when viewed from the stored kitchen knife, and there is a problem that the usability is poor.

  There is also a kitchen that can store a kitchen knife in a drawer under the sink (Patent Document 3). However, the kitchen described in Patent Document 3 has a problem that it is difficult to put out and put in the kitchen knife because the kitchen knife is placed in the drawer.

  In addition, there is a housing equipment that includes a swing frame supported by a drawer body so that it can stand up while swinging (Patent Document 4). In the housing equipment described in Patent Literature 4, the swing frame body positions and holds the object to be stored in a detachable manner. When the user pulls the drawer forward and raises the swing frame, the entire stored object can be observed at a glance, and the stored object can be pulled out with the object held almost vertically. Can be easily attached and detached. However, in the housing equipment described in Patent Document 4, the swing frame does not stand up unless the user pulls out the drawer relatively large. Therefore, there is a problem that the system kitchen is not easy to use.

  The movable groove cam plate 153 has a cam groove 153a and a movable groove cam plate shaft portion 153b. The movable groove cam plate 153 is pivotally supported by the knife storage portion guide plate shaft 151c so as to be rotatable with respect to the knife storage portion guide plate 151.

  The link arm 155 is pivotally supported with respect to the angle 157 at an angle shaft portion 157 a of the angle 157. The link arm 155 is connected to the curtain plate portion 130 via an angle 157 at one end. The link arm 155 is connected to the movable groove cam plate 153 at the other end. Specifically, the link arm 155 is pivotally supported with respect to the movable groove cam plate 153 at the movable groove cam plate shaft portion 153b.

  The kitchen knife storage unit 141 includes a first kitchen knife storage unit shaft 141a and a second kitchen knife storage unit shaft 141b. The first knife storage unit shaft 141a engages with the first knife storage unit guide groove 151a and can move along the first knife storage unit guide groove 151a. The second knife storage portion shaft 141b engages with the second knife storage portion guide groove 151b and the cam groove 153a, and can move along the second knife storage portion guide groove 151b and the cam groove 153a. .

  When the user opens the curtain plate part 130, the link arm 155 moves forward. Then, as indicated by an arrow A1 shown in FIG. 3A, the movable groove cam plate 153 connected to the link arm 155 rotates forward about the knife storage portion guide plate shaft portion 151c. Then, the second kitchen knife storage portion shaft portion 141b receives a force from the side wall of the cam groove 153a to the front substantially simultaneously with the start of rotation of the movable groove cam plate 153 or after the start of rotation of the movable groove cam plate 153. Receive. As a result, the second knife storage portion shaft 141b moves forward along the second knife storage portion guide groove 151b and the cam groove 153a. In addition, the first knife storage unit shaft 141a moves forward along the first knife storage unit guide groove 151a.

  Thereby, as shown in FIG.3 (b), the knife storage part 141 moves to the front. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 4D, the knife storage unit 141 can move the front to expose the handle 11 of the knife 10 in front of the sink 120. That is, the user can move the knife storage unit 141 forward by opening the curtain plate unit 130, and expose the handle 11 of the knife 10 in front of the sink 120 in conjunction with the forward movement of the knife storage unit 141. it can.

  According to this, the knife storage unit 141 moves forward in conjunction with the opening operation of the curtain plate unit 130. Therefore, the user can perform the cooking work more efficiently and more efficiently. When the user opens the curtain plate part 130, the knife storage part 141 moves forward, and the handle 11 of the knife 10 is automatically exposed in front of the sink 120. Therefore, the user can put in and out the knife 10 without bending his / her waist. Thereby, usability can be improved.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the first knife storage portion guide groove 151a engaged with the first knife storage portion shaft 141a is formed so as to rise toward the front. Has been. On the other hand, the second kitchen knife storage portion guide groove 151b engaged with the second knife storage portion shaft 141b is formed substantially horizontally. Thereby, as the kitchen knife storage unit 141 moves forward, the front end (front side) of the kitchen knife storage unit 141 rises, and the rear end of the kitchen knife storage unit 141 moves substantially horizontally.

  In other words, the interlocking mechanism 150 of this specific example has a storage position where the knife storage portion 141 is disposed substantially horizontally below the sink 120 and a front end portion (front portion) of the knife storage portion 141 in front of the sink 120. The knife storage unit 141 operates so as to move between the use position arranged in an upwardly inclined state. Alternatively, the knife storage unit guide plate 151 has a storage position where the knife storage unit 141 is disposed substantially horizontally below the sink 120 and a front end portion (front portion) of the knife storage unit 141 in front of the sink 120 upward. The knife storage portion 141 is supported so that the knife storage portion 141 can move between the use position arranged in an inclined state.

  Therefore, the knife storage part 141 moves so as to lift the handle 11 of the knife 10 upward in conjunction with the forward movement. In other words, the interlocking mechanism unit 150 of this example operates so that the opening / closing operation of the curtain plate unit 130 and the operation of the knife storage unit 141 moving the handle 11 of the knife 10 up and down are interlocked. Then, the handle 11 of the knife 10 rises toward the front and is exposed to the front of the sink 120.

  According to this, the knife storage unit 141 automatically moves to a position where the user can easily take out the knife 10. In addition, since the opening / closing operation of the curtain plate portion 130 and the up / down operation of the knife storage portion 141 are interlocked, the labor for putting in and out the knife 10 is reduced. Therefore, the efficiency of cooking work can be improved. Further, the interlocking mechanism unit 150 makes it easier to store the knife storage unit 141 in a narrower space below the sink 120 and to move the knife storage unit 141 to a position where the user can easily take out the kitchen knife 10. It can be carried out.

  In this specific example, for example, the cam groove 153a in the range B1 shown in FIG. 3 is centered on the knife housing portion guide plate shaft portion 151c or the movable groove cam plate hole portion engaged with the knife housing portion guide plate shaft portion 151c. Presents a circular shape. Therefore, even if the user opens the curtain plate portion 130 and the movable groove cam plate 153 connected to the link arm 155 rotates about the knife storage portion guide plate shaft portion 151c, the second knife storage portion. The shaft portion 141b does not receive a force from the side wall of the cam groove 153a. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the second knife storage portion shaft 141b relatively moves in the cam groove 153a in the range B1 shown in FIG. 3, the second knife storage portion shaft The part 141b does not move forward.

  Subsequently, when the user further opens the curtain plate part 130, the second knife storage part shaft part 141b moves relative to the cam groove 153a outside the range B1 shown in FIG. Receives forward force from the side wall. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 4C, the kitchen knife storage unit 141 moves forward.

  As described above, the interlocking mechanism unit 150 of this specific example is delayed from the opening operation of the curtain plate unit 130, and the knife storage unit 141 is located at a position above the curtain plate unit 130 stopped at the front and open positions of the sink 120. Can be exposed. Specifically, the knife storage unit 141 starts moving forward from the middle of the operation of opening the curtain plate unit 130. That is, the interlocking mechanism unit 150 of this example has a function as a delay drawing mechanism unit.

  If it is attempted to expose the knife storage portion 141 without delaying the operation of opening the curtain plate portion 130, the handle 11 of the knife 10 comes into contact with the curtain plate portion 130 when the knife storage portion 141 moves forward. There are cases where you can. Then, the curtain plate part 130 and the knife storage part 141 may not move. Alternatively, the knife 10 may force the curtain plate part 130 to be exposed.

  On the other hand, in this specific example, the kitchen knife storage part 141 can be exposed later than the operation of opening the curtain plate part 130. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the handle 11 of the knife 10 from contacting and supporting the curtain plate part 130 when the knife storage part 141 moves forward. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the curtain plate unit 130 from being opened. Therefore, the user can open the curtain plate part 130 smoothly.

  In addition, as described above, the knife storage unit 141 starts moving forward from the middle of the opening operation of the curtain plate unit 130. Therefore, the user can open the curtain plate portion 130 more easily with a lighter force at the initial stage of opening the curtain plate portion 130. On the other hand, when closing the curtain plate portion 130, the user can end the storing operation of the knife storage portion 141 in the middle of closing the curtain plate portion 130. According to this, the user needs a larger force in the initial stage of closing the curtain plate portion 130, but after the knife storage portion 141 is stored, the user can more easily close the curtain plate portion 130 with a lighter force. Can do. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the curtain plate part 130 from being inadvertently opened.

FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating another specific example of the interlocking mechanism portion of this embodiment.
FIG. 5A is a schematic sectional view showing a state in which the curtain plate portion is closed. FIG. 5B and FIG. 5C are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating a state in which the curtain plate 130 is being opened. FIG. 5D is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which the curtain plate portion is opened.
FIG. 5A corresponds to a schematic cross-sectional view taken along a cutting plane AA illustrated in FIG. FIG. 5D corresponds to a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the cutting plane BB shown in FIG.

The interlocking mechanism portion 150a of this specific example corresponds to a modification of the interlocking mechanism portion 150 described above with reference to FIGS.
That is, the movable groove cam plate 153 of this specific example has a cam groove 153d. The cam groove 153d, like the cam groove 153a in the range B1 shown in FIG. 3, has a movable groove cam plate hole portion that engages with the knife storage portion guide plate shaft portion 151c or the knife storage portion guide plate shaft portion 151c. It does not exhibit a central circular shape. In this specific example, the cam groove 153d extends from the one end 153e to the other end 153f to the knife housing portion guide plate shaft portion 151c or the movable groove cam plate hole portion that engages with the knife housing portion guide plate shaft portion 151c. It has a curved portion B2 that approaches.

  Therefore, when the user opens the curtain plate portion 130 and the movable groove cam plate 153 connected to the link arm 155 rotates forward about the knife storage portion guide plate shaft portion 151c, the second knife The housing shaft 141b receives a forward force from the side wall of the cam groove 153d substantially simultaneously with the start of rotation of the movable groove cam plate 153. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5A, the curved portion B2 of the cam groove 153d has a knife storing portion guide plate shaft 151c or a knife storing portion guide plate as it goes from the one end 153e to the other end 153f. The movable groove cam plate hole portion that engages with the shaft portion 151c gradually approaches. For this reason, the second knife housing portion shaft portion 141b receives a slight forward force from the side wall of the cam groove 153d when moving relative to the curved portion B2 of the cam groove 153d. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 5B, the kitchen knife storage unit 141 gradually moves forward.
