Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to a novel sink equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, or other refrigerator for cooling.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a refrigerator and a sink have no relation to each other and are configured separately. Therefore, while cooking in the sink, it is necessary to operate the large door that opens and closes by moving angularly around the vertical axis of the refrigerator. Such work would be a considerable amount of work. Therefore, it is desirable to shorten the cooking distance and to facilitate the loading and unloading of foods that need to be cooled.

A prior art technique for solving this problem is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 47-21740. In this prior art, the interior of the sink is divided into left and right sides by partition plates, a refrigerator is housed in one of the partition plates, the refrigerator is detachably attached to the sink by rails, and a sink is attached to the other.
This allows the sink and refrigerator to be compactly combined.

In this prior art, the refrigerator has a structure in which one door is opened and closed, and as described above, the workability is poor.

In addition, a new problem with this prior art is that it has a configuration in which the refrigerator is simply stored in the sink.
It is difficult to accurately position the sink and the refrigerator stored therein, resulting in poor aesthetics.

In order to improve the operability of the refrigerator door, a drawer is provided, for example in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50-84955.
This eliminates the need to open and close one large door of the refrigerator, improving work efficiency. Even if a refrigerator equipped with such a drawer is simply assembled into a sink, it is impossible to accurately position the sink and the refrigerator fitted therein as described above.

Purpose The purpose of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator equipped with a novel refrigerator, etc., in which the refrigerator is integrated with a sink.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention. A sink 2 is provided in the sink 1, and water can be supplied from a sink 3. The sink 1 is equipped with a cooking table 4 and a gas range 5. Below the top plate 6 of the sink 1, a drawer 7 for storing things in a conventional manner and a door 8 that can be opened and closed by angular displacement around the vertical axis are provided. According to the present invention, a curtain plate 9 is provided below and in front of the top plate 6 of the sink 2, and a refrigerator compartment 10 is formed below the curtain plate 9. The refrigerator compartment 10 includes drawers 11 arranged in multiple stages (two stages in this embodiment),
12 are provided. The drawers 11 and 12 can be pulled out to the front by rails 13 and 14 provided in the refrigerator compartment 10.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the vicinity of the sink 2 and the refrigerator compartment 10. The refrigerator compartment 10 is defined by a member 15 made of a material such as a heat insulator. The bottom 16 of the refrigerator compartment 10 is inclined and lowered toward a drain port 17, which is connected to the trap 1.
8 to the drain pipe 19 of the sink 2.
In this way, meat juice, vegetable juice, etc. do not accumulate in the refrigerator compartment 10, and the refrigerator is therefore sanitary.

In conventional refrigerators, meat juice or vegetable juice generated by an automatic defrosting device or the like is collected in a saucer provided at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment. Therefore, when meat juice or vegetable juice accumulates in a saucer, the saucer must be removed from the refrigerator and the stored meat juice or vegetable juice must be discarded. Other prior art techniques are configured to evaporate meat juice or vegetable juice stored in a saucer using heat generated from a refrigerator compressor or a separately provided heater. In such prior art, it was not necessary to discard the meat juice and vegetable juice stored in the saucer, but the residue of meat juice and vegetable juice remained on the saucer, which was unsanitary. You have to take it out and wash away any residue stuck to the tray. Therefore, the prior art does not have sufficient measures to dispose of meat juice, vegetable juice, etc. in the refrigerator compartment.

In the above-described embodiment, the meat juice or vegetable juice that falls to the bottom 16 of the refrigerator compartment 10 is drained from the drain port 17 to the drain pipe 19.
Since it is discharged to the outside along with the water from the sink 2, it is hygienic and the trouble of discarding such meat juice and vegetable juice is saved.

FIG. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the refrigerator compartment 10. Evaporators 20 for cooling are disposed on both left and right sides 15a, 15b and a back wall 15c of the member 15 defining the refrigerator compartment 10 when viewed from the front. Thereby, the refrigerator compartment 10 can be sufficiently cooled.

As shown in FIG. 4, the drawer 11 includes a drawer main body 21 and a front plate 22 attached to the front part thereof. Note that in FIG. 4, illustration of the evaporator 20 is omitted.

FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the refrigerator compartment 10. As described above, the drawers 11 and 12 can be pulled out toward the front (downward in FIG. 4, leftward in FIG. 5) by the rails 13 and 14. The depth h1 of the upper drawer 11 is
It is formed deeper than the depth h2 of the lower drawer 12 (h1>h2). Therefore, when partially using large foods such as cabbage or Chinese cabbage and storing them again, if the upper drawer 11 is left open and dropped from near the cooking table 4, the food will be stored in the drawer 11. That will happen. Therefore, the cooking distance is shortened, and the work of loading and unloading food becomes easier.

The storage bottoms of the drawers 11 and 12 are provided with elastic cushioning materials 24 and 25 such as sponges, so that foods dropped from cutting boards or countertops can be stored without being damaged. can do. By deepening the top drawer 11, the user gets a strong impression that a large amount of food can be stored when the drawer 11 is opened, and the sense of security is improved.
