Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a system cooking counter that can automatically perform various types of cooking while adding production effects.

(Prior art and its technical problems) In recent years, many system kitchens installed in general household kitchens are so-called open type kitchens that are continuous with a counter table. However, although this type of system kitchen is capable of performing various types of cooking, each of these has independent functions, and the system kitchen is not a device that is strongly interconnected as a whole.

Furthermore, the cooking function and the dining function are separated, and the cooking function is not directly visible.

In a system kitchen with such a configuration, there is no sense of unity between the person cooking and the person sitting at the table.
In other words, it was not possible to provide a "place" where both the food being cooked and the food being eaten could be enjoyed in the same atmosphere.

<Means for Solving the Cape Problem> The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and includes a system counter consisting of a pedestal and a counter provided on the top thereof. Sinks are arranged side by side, a showcase is provided in front of the counter, and an electromagnetic cooker is arranged on the counter and outside the sink, where one of the sinks
One is that the inside has a refrigeration function, and the showcase is formed of a liquid crystal glass plate that becomes transparent when voltage is applied.Furthermore, an exhaust rectifying plate is installed in front of the electromagnetic cooker, and the inside of the cooker is An infrared sensor that detects temperature is installed, and a voice recognition faucet mechanism is installed in front of the sink to open and close the faucet by selecting the type of water flowing out and the amount of water flowing out by recognizing voice. The counter is provided with program control switches for controlling the refrigeration function of the sink, controlling the cooking temperature using an infrared sensor, controlling the voice recognition faucet mechanism, and controlling the attached gourmet counter.

Function> Since one of the pair of sinks installed side by side in the center of the counter has a refrigeration function, it is possible to cook food at a low temperature separately from the other sinks. Furthermore, by controlling the application of voltage to the showcase, the showcase itself changes from milky white to transparent, making it possible to view the inside of the showcase from the outside as needed. Furthermore, an exhaust rectifying plate installed in front of the electromagnetic cooker discharges the exhaust gas from the electromagnetic cooker in a predetermined direction, and an infrared sensor attached to the inner surface of the plate directly detects the cooking temperature without installing a sensor inside the cooker. I can do it. Also, it is possible to dispense the desired type of water and select the amount using the voice recognition faucet mechanism without taking your hands off the cooker during cooking. In this way, automatic cooking becomes possible. Furthermore, by operating the program control switch as appropriate, the platform can be raised and lowered to control the height of the counter and the operation of the sink's refrigeration function, as well as cooking temperature control using an infrared sensor, voice recognition faucet control, and this shoe counter. It is now possible to continuously control the gourmet counter attached to the
The functions of the cooking counter can be synchronously and continuously controlled not only with each other but also with the attached gourmet counter.

Both sinks 12a, 1
A showcase 13 is provided in front of 2b in its longitudinal direction. The showcase 13 consists of a plurality of storage cases partitioned by partition walls (not shown), and each storage case has a liquid crystal glass plate that has the function of storing food in a cold or hot state and is milky white in a steady state. 13a. That is, when a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal glass plate, its milky white color disappears and it becomes a transparent plate, so that the stored food can be visually observed from the outside. Therefore, by showing or not showing the food stored in this way, a sufficient presentation effect can be obtained. Furthermore, an electromagnetic cooker 14 and a microwave oven plate 15 are arranged outside the first sink 12a and the second sink 12b. An exhaust gas rectifying plate 1B is extended in front of the electromagnetic cooker 14.
