Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute a current flowing only when a door is completely closed and to secure a safety by interrupting a safety switch inserted into the power circuit of a heating cooker by means of the close of the door in a kitchen furniture main body in which the heating cooker is built. CONSTITUTION:For a kitchen furniture 10 main body, a front side is opened, and a folding system door 15 is provided to an opening. A main switch 16 and a safety switch 17 are inserted to the power circuit of an electric cooker 12, and the safety switch 17 is provided in a position corresponding to the edge of the door 15 in an opened condition. In the condition to completely open the door 15, a magnet 18 corresponds to the safety switch 17, the safety switch 17 is opened, the main switch 16 is operated, and the electric cooker 12 is arbitrarily operated. Next, in the case where the door 15 is closed and in the course to close it, the magnet 18 is released from a corresponding relation with the safety switch 17, the safety switch 17 is automatically interrupted, and the current flowing to the electric cooker 12 is interrupted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a type of kitchen furniture that is equipped with at least a heating cooker and a door that covers the front part of the kitchen furniture.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In general, kitchen furniture is increasingly equipped with doors so that the cooking appliances, water tanks, etc. that are installed therein are hidden, in order to beautify the living space.

Conventional kitchen furniture of this type was constructed as shown in FIG. That is, a cooking device 3 such as a stove, a water tank 1, and a faucet 2 are provided in the kitchen furniture main body 4, and a ventilation door 5 and the like are provided at the top. A door 6 that can be opened and closed is provided to cover each of these appliances, and the group 6 is closed when not cooking.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional configuration described above, there is a risk that the door 6 may be accidentally closed while the heating cooker 3 is in operation, and in this case, the temperature inside the kitchen furniture body 4 is abnormally high. Nari door 6
There is a serious defect in that the wall materials of the kitchen furniture body 1 are scorched or burned.

On the other hand, for this reason, it is not preferable to use non-combustible materials for the kitchen furniture main body 1, the door 6, etc., or to apply non-combustible treatment to them, as this increases costs.

The present invention takes these conventional problems into consideration and aims to provide highly safe kitchen furniture.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides at least a kitchen furniture body incorporating a heating cooker with a safety switch inserted into the power supply circuit of the heating cooker, and the safety switch is connected to the door. It is designed to be shut off by closing.

Function When the door of kitchen furniture with the above structure is closed, a part of the door disconnects from the safety switch and the safety switch is shut off.A heating cooker with this safety switch in the power supply circuit will not heat up. It will not work and safety will be ensured.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes the kitchen furniture body made of wood, which has a storage cabinet below, a worktop 11 attached to the waist height, an electric stove 12, a water tank 13, and a faucet 14.
In addition, a storage shelf and a storage cabinet (none of which are shown) are attached to the upper part. The kitchen furniture main body 10 is open at the front, and a folding door 16 is provided at this opening. A main switch 16 and a safety switch 1 are inserted into the power supply circuit of the electric stove 12, and the safety switch 17 is provided at a position corresponding to the end of the door 16 in an open state. This safety switch 1
7 is a magnetic switch, and a magnet 18 is provided at the end of the field 15.

In the above configuration, when the door 15 is completely opened, the magnet 18 corresponds to the safety switch 17, and the safety switch 17 is opened.

Therefore, the electric stove 12 can be operated as desired by operating the main switch 16. Next, when the door 15 is closed or in the process of closing, the magnet 18 is no longer associated with the safety switch 17, so the safety switch 17 is automatically shut off. Therefore, even when the main switch 16 is closed, the electric stove 12 is de-energized by the operation of the safety switch 17.

In the above embodiment, the safety switch 1γ is a magnetic switch, but it may also be a microswitch that is activated by pressure, or another electromagnetic switch, or an electromagnetic induction cooking device may be installed in place of the electric stove. However, the present invention is not limited to what is shown in the drawings.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the present invention inserts a safety switch into the power supply circuit of the installed heating cooker, and energizes this safety switch only when the door is completely opened. Therefore, its safety is ensured. Further, there is no need to apply special non-combustible treatment to the kitchen furniture itself, which is advantageous in terms of cost.
