JPH06288077A - Under-floor container - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to easily take in and out an article to be housed by combining a container which houses an article to be housed with an outer structure having driving the container vertically and forming an under-floor container. CONSTITUTION:A wire fixing part 10 is fixed with a container 1 where a reduction gears-equipped motor 4 is drive by way of a hoisting wire 8 of the wire fixing part 10. A drive shaft 5 which is driven with the reduction gears-equipped motor 4 winds up the wire around a hoisting shell 6, thereby moving up and down the container. A control circuit is further incorporated thereinto so that when a cover 3 of the container 1 is opened, a drive device operates and forces the container 1 to rise automatically. Therefor, this construction makes it possible to facilitate taking in and out operations by raising the container up to the floor surface when using the container.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an underfloor storage for use in a home kitchen or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional underfloor storage, the lid of the storage is flush with the floor, and the storage is installed below it.

[0003]

As described in the section of the prior art, the conventional storage has the lid on the same surface as the floor, and the storage for storing the stored items is below the storage. A person who takes out the stored items in the storage or performs a storing operation when storing the stored items must bend down and put the items in and out in an unnatural manner.

[0004]

The problem described in the section of the problem to be solved by the invention is to provide the storage with a function of raising and lowering the storage itself when the storage is used.

[0005]

According to the present invention, by raising and lowering the storage itself, the person performing the storage operation can take out or store the articles in the storage without difficulty when the storage is raised.

[0006]

Embodiment 1 An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In the figure, those having the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 1 is an explanatory perspective view of a function of vertically moving the storage of the underfloor storage according to the first embodiment. The storage and the external structure supporting the function are omitted. Storage body 1
Is moved up and down by winding the wire around the winding drum 6 through the drive shaft 5 by the drive of the motor 4 with a speed reducer through the winding wire 8 by the wire fixing portion 10 fixed to the storage. . Reference numeral 9 is a sheave fixed to the external structure 2. FIG. 1 shows a state where the storage case is lowered. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the storage is raised. FIG. 3 shows FIG. 1A.
-The whole A structure sectional drawing of the arrow A is shown. 7 is a drive shaft bearing,
Reference numeral 3 denotes a lid of the storage, and 11 denotes a floor surface. 1-1 is a state where the storage is raised, and at that time, 10 is at the position 10-1.
By opening the lid 3 by incorporating the control circuit, the drive device can be operated to raise the storage.

[0007]

[Embodiment 2] FIGS. 4 and 5 show a mechanism for raising the storage 1, a motor 12 with a speed reducer, a drive shaft 13 driven by the motor 12, links 15 and 16 operated thereby, and the drive force on the opposite side It consists of a sprocket 14 and a chain 17 that conducts to the shaft. When the motor is driven, each of these parts is actuated, and FIG. 5 shows a state in which the storage case in FIG. 4 is lifted from the lower position. FIG. 6 shows FIG. 4B-
A plan view from the direction of the arrow B, 2 is an outer structure.

[0008]

[Third Embodiment] FIG. 7 is a view in which a storage is moved up and down by a link similarly to the second embodiment.
8, sprocket for conduction to the opposite shaft by chain 1
9. The sprocket 20 and the link mechanisms 21 and 22 for transmitting the driving force from the reduction gear to the shaft 18 by the chain, and the links 21 and 22 are 21-1 and 22 when the storage is raised.
It becomes like -1 and raises the storage to become 1-1. The power unit for driving the transmission sprocket 20 is omitted.

[0009]

[Fourth Embodiment] FIG. 8 shows a function of raising and lowering the storage case 1 as shown by 1-1 by a combination of the drive shaft 5 driven by the motor 4 with a speed reducer and the sprockets 27, 28 and the chain 29. The sprockets 24, 25 transmit power to the opposite shaft 23 by a chain 26. Thirty
Is a metal fitting that fixes one end of the chain to the storage 1.

[0010]

[Embodiment 5] FIG. 9 shows that the rack gear 33 attached to the storage case 1 and the storage case 1 are moved up and down by rotating the drive shaft 31 and the small gears 32 by the motor 30 with a reduction gear. Sprocket 34, 35 and chain 3
The combination of 6 transmits the power to the shaft 37 on the side opposite to 31, and the small gear 38 32 and the shaft 39 the rack gear 33.
Move up and down. FIG. 10 shows a state in which the storage is raised to 1-1. Outer structure is omitted

[0011]

As is apparent from the above description, since the conventional storage cabinet is fixed under the floor, a person had to bend down while putting or taking out an article in the storage cabinet. By raising the storage cabinet to the floor during use as in the present invention, it becomes easy to carry out the work when putting or taking things out of such a storage cabinet.

[Brief description of drawings]
