Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a sink with excellent ergonomics that allows washing work and cooking work in a comfortable posture.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems]

 For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a conventional sink is composed of a sink unit 1, a cooking unit 2 that is continuously provided on the left side of the sink unit 1, and a cooking unit 2 that is continuously provided on the left side of the cooking unit 2. The gas appliance mounting portion 3 and the top 1a of each sink portion 1, the work top surface 2a of the cooking portion 2 and the top 3a of the gas appliance mounting portion 3 are formed at exactly the same height. Therefore, it is generally configured to conform to the height standards such as JIS and ISO.

However, the work performed in the sink is a work for washing dishes and vegetables, which is performed while standing, a work for cutting food which is performed while the upper body is slightly bent forward, or a pot is used as a gas appliance. There is a cooking operation in which the work is placed on top of each other, and although the work postures are completely different, in the case of a sink with work surfaces formed at exactly the same height as shown in Fig. 3, it is impossible. Since each work had to be done in different postures, there was the problem that it was very easy to get tired and very inconvenient to use.

In order to solve such a problem, in recent years, as shown in FIG. 4, the top 1a of the sink part 1 and the work top surface 2a of the cooking part 2 are formed at the same height, and the gas appliance is A sink is also proposed, in which the top portion 3a of the placing portion 3 is formed so as to be one step deeper than the work top surface 2a of the cooking portion 2.

However, even if only the top portion 3a of the gas appliance mounting portion 3 is included as a paragraph from the other work surfaces, the top portion 1a of the sink portion 1 and the work top surface 2a of the cooking portion 2 still have the same height. Since it is formed into a flat shape, the washing work and cooking work must be performed in an unreasonable posture, and as a result, like the sink in Fig. 3, it is easy to get tired and the usability is very poor. Had.

The present invention was devised in view of the present situation, and its purpose is to enable each kitchen work having different work postures to be performed in an optimal posture for the kitchen work. The goal is to provide an ergonomically superior sink that is both easy to use and easy to use.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, in a sink including a sink section and a cooking section continuously provided on one side of the sink section, the cooking section of the cooking section is provided. The work top surface is formed lower than the top of the sink section, and the joint between the cooking section and the sink section is formed continuously so that the water flowing through the cooking section flows down to the sink section. It is characterized by.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a sink 10 according to this embodiment has a top plate 12 attached to an upper part of a cabinet body 11, and a sink portion 13 is provided on the right side of the top plate 12. The cooking section 14 is provided on the left side of the sink section 13, and the gas appliance mounting section 15 is continuously provided on the left side of the cooking section 14. .

A knee space 16 is formed in the sink portion attachment portion of the cabinet body 11 so that a knee or a toe can be inserted below the sink portion 13.

The top plate 12 has, for example, a height dimension of 876 mm up to the top 13a of the sink attachment portion, a height dimension of 846 mm up to the work top surface 14a of the cooking section 14, and a gas appliance mounting portion. The height dimension up to the top portion (including Gokutoku) 15a of 15 is 800 mm, and the work top surface 14a of the cooking portion 14 is lower than the top portion 13a of the attachment portion of the sink portion, and the gas appliance mounting portion 15 Is formed in two steps so that the top portion 15a of the is lower than the work top surface 14a of the cooking portion 14.

In this way, the top 13a of the sink portion attachment portion of the top plate 12 is formed one step higher than the work top surface 14a of the cooking section 14, so that it is possible to stand on a table and vegetables in a comfortable posture. Washing work can be performed, and even if water splashes during washing work in the sink section 13, the front top of the sink attachment site acts as a water splash prevention flange, so clothes and floors can be protected from water. It can effectively prevent getting wet.

When performing this washing operation, since the knee space 16 is formed below the sink portion 13 of the cabinet body 11, a knee or a toe is put in the knee space 16 or a foot is placed. It is possible to open the front and rear for balance, and as a result, the forward tilt angle becomes smaller in this working posture, and the body can be brought closer to the sink portion 13, so that the washing work can be performed in a more comfortable posture. You can

Further, since the work top surface 14a of the cooking unit 14 is formed lower than the top portion 13a of the sink attachment portion, a cutting board (not shown) is placed on the work top surface 14a, and the upper half of the body is slightly forward. When performing a food cutting operation in a bent state, the operation can be performed in a comfortable posture suitable for the cutting operation.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the joint 17 between the cooking section 14 and the sink section 13 is formed so as to be continuous without a step, and the work top surface 14a is shallowly recessed. Moreover, since it is formed with a slight downward slope toward the sink portion, the water flowing from the work top surface 14a of the cooking portion 14 can be smoothly flowed down to the sink portion 13 for drainage. it can. Of course, a plurality of concave and convex grooves can be formed on the work top surface 14a of the cooking section 14 by drawing.

Further, since the top portion 15a of the gas appliance mounting portion 15 is formed so as to be lower than the work top surface 14a of the cooking portion 14, a pot or the like is placed on the gas appliance 18 for cooking. Even if you do the above, the opening of the pan is set to a position slightly higher than the worktop surface 14a of the cooking section 14, so you do not need to look into the pan with your toes, and you can cook in a comfortable position. Can be done.

In the sink 10 according to this embodiment, the pot rack wire rack 19 is provided on the right side of the top portion 15a of the gas appliance mounting portion 15, that is, the joint portion with the work top surface 14a of the cooking portion 14. It is arranged so that a pot or the like is placed on the pot rack wire rack 19 so that the cut food can be put in the pot or the cooked cooked product can be cut by the cooking section 14 or the like. It is possible to perform cooking and cooking operations in a continuous operation.
