Description

Aspects of the present invention generally relate to system kitchens.

In system kitchens, it is known to provide a cabinet that can store items under the kitchen sink (for example, Patent Document 1). A storage unit for storing articles such as knives may be provided inside such a cabinet.

Since the kitchen sink is recessed downward, if the storage unit is installed at a high position in the cabinet, there is a risk that the storage unit or the items stored in the storage unit will hit the kitchen sink when the cabinet is closed. Therefore, the storage unit is usually provided at a lower position in the cabinet.

However, if the storage unit is provided at a low position in the cabinet, there is a problem that it becomes difficult to store articles in the storage unit or to take out articles from the storage unit. Further, when the storage unit is provided at a low position in the cabinet, there is a problem that the storage unit tends to become large in the front-rear direction because there is no limit to the depth, and the storage space in the cabinet becomes narrow.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a part of the storage unit of the system kitchen according to the embodiment.
FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken along line C1-C2 shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 9, the knife storage section 55 can store the knife 200 diagonally downward and laterally. In this example, the knife storage section 55 stores the knife 200 diagonally downward to the left.

The knife storage portion 55 has a first rib 55e, a second rib 55f, and a third rib 55g. The first rib 55e, the second rib 55f, and the third rib 55g are each provided inside the knife storage section 55. That is, the first rib 55e, the second rib 55f, and the third rib 55g are each provided between the front end surface and the rear end surface of the knife storage section 55. The first rib 55e, the second rib 55f, and the third rib 55g each function as a guide when storing the knife 200 in the knife storage section 55.

The first rib 55e is provided on the first portion 55a, and extends from the hole 55h on the upper surface of the first portion 55a toward the direction in which the knife 200 is stored. The second rib 55f is provided on the first portion 55a, and extends from the lower end of the first rib 55e toward the direction in which the knife 200 is stored. The third rib 55g is provided on the second portion 55b and extends downward from the vertically central portion of the second portion 55b.

The knife 200 is supported by the knife storage portion 55 by, for example, coming into contact with any two of the first rib 55e, the second rib 55f, and the third rib 55g. For example, the kitchen knife 200a and the kitchen knife 200b are in contact with the first rib 55e and the third rib 55g. The knife 200c is in contact with the second rib 55f and the third rib 55g. The knife 200d is in contact with the second rib 55f and the third rib 55g. By providing the first rib 55e, the second rib 55f, and the third rib 55g in the knife storage portion 55 in this manner, the knife 200 can be easily stored diagonally downward and laterally.

Hereinafter, the effects of the system kitchen according to the embodiment will be explained.
If the storage unit is provided at a low position in the cabinet so that the storage unit or the items stored in the storage unit do not hit the kitchen sink, there is a problem that it becomes difficult to take items in and out of the storage unit. Further, when the storage unit is provided at a low position in the cabinet, there is a problem that the storage unit tends to become large in the front-rear direction because there is no limit to the depth, and the storage space in the cabinet becomes narrow.

On the other hand, according to the embodiment, a part of the knife 200 stored in the knife storage part 55, a part of the first article 201 stored in the first storage part 56, and a part of the first article 201 stored in the second storage part 57 are stored in the second storage part 57. The space S in front of the sink can be effectively utilized by providing the storage unit 50 capable of storing each article such that a part of the second articles 202 are located in the space S in front of the sink. Thereby, in the cabinet 10 under the kitchen sink 30 where the storage space tends to be narrowed by providing the storage unit 50, the storage space can be made wider. Furthermore, by providing the storage unit 50 in such a position, frequently used items such as knives, cutting boards, and plastic wrap can be stored in the upper part of the cabinet 10, making them easy to access for users who are standing. It becomes easier. In particular, when storing knives and cutting boards after washing them in the kitchen sink 30, it is best to carry them to the top of the cabinet 10 (drawer 13A) below the kitchen sink 30, which is the closest cabinet. Therefore, it can be easily stored.

Furthermore, in order to store items such as kitchen knives stored in the storage unit 50 in the sink front space S without hitting the kitchen sink 30, it is required, for example, to reduce the size of the storage unit 50 in the front and back direction. . However, if the size of the storage unit 50 in the front and back direction is reduced, the first storage section 56 provided at the front or rear of the knife storage section 55 becomes narrower in the front and rear direction, making it difficult to put in and take out the first article 201. There is a risk that it will become difficult.

On the other hand, according to the embodiment, the upper end of the first storage part 56 is located below the upper end of the knife storage part 55, so that the opening above the first storage part 56 (for example, between the front plate 12A and the knife The gap between the first article 201 and the storage section 55 can be widened in the front-rear direction, making it easier to take the first article 201 in and out of the first storage section 56.

According to the embodiment, in the knife storage section 55, the length T2 in the front-rear direction of the second portion 55b that stores the blade of the knife 200 is the length T2 in the front-rear direction of the first portion 55a that supports the handle of the knife 200. By making the length smaller than T1, the lower part of the first storage section 56 provided in front or rear of the knife storage section 55 can be made wider in the front-rear direction. Thereby, the first article 201 can be easily taken in and out of the first storage section 56.

Also, the surface on the other end side of the second storage section 57 in the front-rear direction (for example, the front wall section 51c of the main body section 51) is replaced with the surface on the one end side of the second storage section 57 in the front-rear direction (for example, the rear side of the main body section 51). If it is lower than the wall portion 51b), when the partition 54 is provided in the second storage portion 57, it may not be possible to fix the partition 54 to the surface on the other end side of the second storage portion 57. In this case, the attachment strength of the partition 54 may be reduced, and the second article 202 may not be able to be firmly supported.

On the other hand, according to the embodiment, by providing the partition 54 having the mounting surface portion 54a and the pair of side surfaces 54b, a surface on one end side in the front-rear direction of the second storage portion 57 (for example, at the rear of the main body portion 51) is provided. The side surface portion 54b can be supported by the mounting surface portion 54a attached to the wall portion 51b). As a result, if the surface on the other end side in the front-rear direction of the second storage portion 57 (for example, the front wall portion 51c of the main body portion 51) is lower than the surface on the one end side, and the partition 54 cannot be fixed to the surface on the other end side. However, the second article 202 such as a wrap can be more firmly supported by the partition 54.

Further, for example, when the drawers 13 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, the length of the area in the vertical direction in which the storage unit 50 can be installed may become smaller because the drawer 13A becomes shallower. In such a case, if the knife 200 is stored straight downward in the knife storage part 55, the length of the knife storage part 55 in the vertical direction will become large, and the storage unit 50 will be stored inside the cabinet 10 (drawer 13A). There is a risk that it will not be provided. Further, if the knife 200 is stored diagonally downward and forward or downward and backward relative to the knife storage section 55, there is a risk that the length of the knife storage section 55 in the front-rear direction becomes large.

In contrast, according to the embodiment, the knife storage section 55 can store the knife 200 diagonally downward and laterally, thereby suppressing the length of the knife storage section 55 from increasing in the front-rear direction. At the same time, the length of the knife storage section 55 in the vertical direction can be reduced. Thereby, even if the vertical length of the area in which the storage unit 50 can be installed is small, the storage unit 50 can be installed inside the cabinet 10 (drawer 13A).

Further, if the first storage section 56 is provided at the rear of the knife storage section 55, when the first article 201 such as a cutting board is stored in the first storage section 56 at the rear of the knife storage section 55, the front panel of the cabinet 10 There is a possibility that the space between 12A and the first article 201 becomes narrow, making it difficult to take the knife 200 in and out of the knife storage section 55.

On the other hand, according to the embodiment, by providing the first storage section 56 in front of the knife storage section 55, a space can be provided behind the knife storage section 55 when the cabinet 10 is opened. Thereby, even when the first article 201 such as a cutting board is stored in the first storage section 56, it is possible to easily take the knife 200 in and out of the knife storage section 55.

As described above, according to the embodiment, a system kitchen is provided in which the storage space inside the cabinet can be effectively utilized and items such as kitchen knives can be stored in a position where they can be easily accessed.
