Description

Description: [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a kitchen facility in which the function of a kitchen counter is expanded.

[Conventional technology]

The factory equipment has changed its form in various ways with the times and changes in the housing environment. This change in form has been developed on the basis of the concepts of cooking using a heating device, washing of dishes and foods, and storage of these.

For example, with the improvement of the housing environment and the comprehensive systemization of living spaces, system kitchens that functionalize the kitchen space have recently come into widespread use. The basis of this system kitchen is that, instead of laying out a conventional kitchen cabinet as a single item, equipment for various purposes is incorporated. In addition, they have succeeded in producing unprecedented excellent effects such as systematization of equipment and improvement of human work flow lines by associating various works, and further effective use of the entire kitchen space.

A typical system kitchen is mainly a floor cabinet and a wall cabinet provided above it. The counter of the floor cabinet is equipped with a cooking stove and a sink for washing work, and each of the floor and wall cabinets has a storage space for storing articles. As for these cabinets, various products having different frontage dimensions are prepared so that layouts in various patterns can be performed according to the layout of the kitchen space.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

On the other hand, the counter is provided with a cooking stove and a sink for washing, and is used as a work surface. And
Since the sink becomes the center of the workshop work, other devices are appropriately arranged based on this sink.

A conventional sink is configured to have functions such as draining, in addition to washing dishes and food, and has a relatively large capacity with an appropriate depth for washing. In addition to the single type in which one sink is provided, a double sink in which a large sink and a small sink are arranged adjacent to each other is generally used.

The sink usually has a certain depth, as described above, for its intended use. However, from the viewpoint of using a flat counter as a workbench or a serving space for the kitchen work, the sink is not suitable for these works due to its depth. In other words, the sink can handle only limited applications such as washing or draining compared with the counter space in other areas, and does not have a versatile function.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve the kitchen work by providing a shallow sink that has a function as a sink and can also be used as a work surface.

[Means for solving problems]

As for the facility of the present invention, the sink (1
In a kitchen facility equipped with a counter (6) including 2), a second sink (13) shallower than the sink (12) is independently provided in the counter (6) and at least the second sink (13) is provided. ) Is provided with a step (14) for sliding a cutting board, and the depth of the second sink (13) is set to about 50 mm.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the features of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a kitchen facility showing an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, four frames 1 are used to arrange four cabinets 2 to 5 and a counter 6 is provided on the cabinets 2 to 5. In addition, a hood 7 for ventilation is arranged on the upper part of the hood 7.
Shelf plate 8 is attached except the part.

Each cabinet 2 to 5 is a frame 1 installed in the factory
The columns are integrated using a substrate or the like, and then the counter 6 is mounted on these cabinets 2 to 5 and assembled. Moreover, the cabinet 4 accommodates the range unit 9a inside, and the cook top 9b provided at the upper end thereof.
Is exposed to the counter 6 side and the operation panel 9c is exposed to the front side. In addition, all the storage parts of the articles using the inside of each cabinet 2-5 are drawer type,
Bar-shaped handles 2a to 5a running in the front direction are attached to the front surface. Further, equipment such as an automatic dishwasher and a dryer can be incorporated in the cabinet 2 located at the right end.

2 and 3 show the counter 6 and its underframe.

The counter 6 is integrally formed of, for example, a stainless plate, and a wooden underframe 6a is attached to the lower part thereof. The underframe 6a is divided into a plurality of parts in the front direction, and five drawers 6b and a decorative plate 6c are provided in these divided portions (see FIG. 1).

Further, an opening 6d for the cook top 9b is provided on the left side portion of the counter 6, and the right side portion excluding the opening 6d is 30
A pool 10 having a depth of about mm is formed. This pool 10
Are biased to the front side of the counter 6. Also,
The opening 6d for the cook top 9b is also located on the front side. By arranging the pool 10 and the opening 6d in this way, an article placing surface 11 can be obtained on the back side of the counter 6 over the entire length of the frontage.

A first sink 12 having a depth suitable for washing dishes and food is formed on the right side of the pool 10, and a shallow second sink 13 is provided on the left side thereof. The first sink 12 has a depth of about 200 mm and is provided with a drain port 12a at a position that is biased to the left. On the other hand, the second sink 13
From the aspect of the function as a work surface, the depth is about 50 mm as measured from the bottom of the pool, that is, the step, and the frontage dimension is about twice that of the first sink 12. By setting the depth of the second sink to about 50 mm, the sliding cutting board does not collide with the plate placed on the second sink, and the cutting board covers part of the plate. With this arrangement, the finely chopped material can be transferred directly from the cutting board to the dish placed on the second sink, and further, the cooking work can be performed without the operator having to bend greatly. The second sink 13 is provided with drainage ports 13a and 13b at two left and right positions.

Around the periphery of these first and second sinks 12 and 13, a step 14 of one step is formed from the upper surface of the counter 6 to the first and second sinks 12 and 13, and this step 14 comprises the pool 10
Located on the same level as the bottom of the. Also, the first sink 12
On the right side of, a drainer 15 is provided at the bottom level of the pool 10. The draining portion 15 has a wavy or gentle uneven surface, and guides water drops from washed dishes, vegetables, etc. to the first sink 12 side.

Further, a spacer top 16 at the same level as that of step 14 is provided between the first sink 12 and the second sink 13, and an appropriate gap is provided between the first sink 12 and the second sink 13 by its frontage. At a distance. Further, a dust box 16a into which raw dust or the like is put is provided on the back side of the spacer top 16. The dust box 16a uses a net basket or the like, and the spacer top 16 is provided with a chamber 16b for storing the same.

In addition, a mounting base 1 for fixing a device such as a faucet is provided on the inner side of each of the first sink 12 and the second sink 13.
7,18 are formed. These mounting bases 17 and 18 are at the same level as in step 14 and bulge toward the article placing surface 11 on the back side. And the mounting base on the side of the first sink 12
A faucet mounting port 17a and a dispenser mounting port 17b are provided in the opening 17, and the faucet mounting port 18a is also provided in the mounting base 18 on the second sink 13 side. Each of these mounting ports 1
A faucet 19, a dispenser 20, and a faucet 21 are attached to 7a, 17b, and 18a, respectively, as shown in FIG.

4 and 5 show a piping system for discharging the drainage from the first and second sinks 12 and 13 and the water from the dust box 16a.

In the figure, a floor drain type drain main 22a is connected to the drain 12a of the first sink 12, and a drain pipe 22b branched from this is piped toward the drain 13a of the second sink 13.
In addition, the drain pipe 2 is provided at the other drain port 13b of the second sink 13.
A connection pipe 22c for a flow path to 2b is connected. Further, a discharge pipe 22d is provided in the pipe of the chamber 16b and the drain pipe 22b in order to discharge the water contained in the raw dust put in the dust box 16a.

It should be noted that it is preferable to provide traps on the drain mains 22a and the discharge pipes 22d connected to the first sink 12 and the chamber 16b, respectively. However, 11 traps are centrally provided under the drain mains 22a. Good. Further, when draining to the wall surface side instead of floor drainage, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 4, the drainage main 22a may be a pipe swinging to the right or left.

Further, FIG. 6 is a schematic vertical sectional view showing the cook top 9b and the second sink 13 when the counter 6 is formed by extending the left side of the pool 10 so as to include the cook top 9b in the pool 10. . As shown, Cook Top 9b Gotoku
The upper end of 9d is at substantially the same level as the article mounting surface 11 of the counter 6. Therefore, the pot or the like hung on the Gotoku 9d can be slid as it is to the article placing surface 11 or conversely from the article placing surface 11 to the Gotoku 9d. Therefore, when the depth of the counter 6 is increased and the article mounting surface 11 is used as a serving space, the pan between the cook top 9b and other cooking utensils can be easily handled.

With the above configuration, the washing work by the first and second sinks 12 and 13 and the cooking using the range unit 9a can be performed from the front side of the counter 6. At this time, the first sink 12 can wash the dishes and vegetables in the same manner as in the usual case.

Here, since the pool 10 running in the frontal direction has the step 14, the cutting board A can be set as shown in FIG. In other words, if the cutting board A is slightly shorter than the depth of the pool 10, this cutting board A
Can be slid in the pool 10 toward the front. Since step 14 is formed over the entire length of the frontage of the pool 10, a stroke from the water faucet 21 on the left side to the draining part 15 on the right side is possible. Therefore, the cutting board A can be freely set at any position in the area excluding the range unit 9a, and its range of use is expanded.

The shallow second sink 13 can be used for various purposes as compared with the first sink 12. For example, when chopping vegetables and the like on the cutting board A, if they are pulled toward the faucet 21 side, it is possible to work while showering with water, and it is possible to save the labor of washing with the first sink 12. Moreover, since it is possible to perform work with water without a problem rather than as a sink, for example, after washing with water,
If food or other items are left as they are in the second sink 13, they can be drained.

Furthermore, instead of using only the cutting board A as a storage place for food such as vegetables, the second sink 13 can be placed shallowly on this, so that it can be practically used as a counter.
In other words, the second sink 13 can be used not only for washing work using water, but also as a place for placing dishes and food when preparing for washing work and cleaning up. For example,
When chopping vegetables etc., it is a normal procedure to work after washing with water, but by putting anything other than the chopped ones in the second sink 13, the actual work is not affected even if the work surface is not provided. Never give.

In addition to the independent function of the second sink 13, the working area can be variously changed by sliding the cutting board A. For example, when the cutting board A is set at the position closest to the range unit 9a, the food material chopped with the cutting board A can be put as it is in a pan placed on the cook top 9b. On the contrary, if the cutting board A is set on the side close to the first sink 12, the chopped vegetables and the like can be thrown into the bowl 12b in the first sink 12. Furthermore, if a cutting board A is set on the center side of the second sink 13, the chopped vegetables and the like can be directly transferred to a plate (not shown) placed in the second sink 13. In this way, after the work using the cutting board A, if the position of the cutting board A is appropriately changed according to what kind of processing is to be performed, a person can work without frequently moving, and the work flow line can be greatly changed. Can be improved.

Slide the cutting board A to the 12th part of the first sink,
If you open the entire sink 13 of this, as described above, this second
The sink 13 can be used as a large work surface. Also, a faucet
If the water is drained from 21, the entire second sink 13 can be washed. In this way, the second sink 13 can be effectively used as a work surface in addition to the function as a sink and can be washed with water by supplying water from the faucet 21, so that when the counter surface is used as a work surface as in the conventional case. Compared with wiping off dust with a cloth or the like, you can always maintain a hygienic environment.

As described above, by providing the shallow second sink 13 in the substantially central region of the counter 6, it is possible to develop various applications. The second sink 13 not only functions as a sink but can also be used as a work surface, so that the front area of the second sink 13 can be used for various tasks during the process from washing to cooking and cleaning up. . Therefore, even if the installation frontage is small, the part centering on the second sink 13 can be applied to various works, and a substantial function can be exhibited.

The depth of the second sink 13 is set to 50 mm in the embodiment, but this depth is acceptable within the range of 50 mm ± 10.

Furthermore, increasing the depth of the counter 6
Since the article placing surface 11 which is one step higher than the step 14 is provided on the inner side of the sinks 12 and 13, this portion can be used as a serving space. In other words, in the catering work, by placing a pot of food cooked by the range unit 9a on the article placement surface 11, the work can be performed without trouble even when the second sink 13 cannot be used as the work surface. Also, the article placement surface
Of course, 11 can also be used as a space for placing dishes and other dishes.

In this way, by providing the article placement surface 11, the front part of the counter 6 can be used as a cooking and washing space and the back side can be used as a serving space. Therefore, in particular, the cooking work can be further improved in addition to the enhancement of the function in which the second sink 13 is effectively used. That is, since the article placement surface 11 is located at the back of each of the range unit 9a and the first and second sinks 12 and 13, this portion can be used as a stockyard for articles. As a result, if dishes are exchanged between the article placing surface 11 and the cooking and washing space on the front side as the cooking progresses, a person can move along the short work flow line without frequently moving left and right. It enables efficient work.

FIG. 7A shows a layout of another counter 6. This has a depth dimension shorter than that shown in FIG. 2 (about 600 mm) and is provided with a back guard 30 in the back, and other structures are exactly the same as those of the above-mentioned embodiment. In addition, as shown in FIG.
Is installed upright between the back guard 30 and the mounting base 17 (1
8) is not formed. Further, the faucets 19 and 21 may be of a hand shower type and can be freely drawn out, and are particularly suitable for the faucet 21 on the side of the second sink 13 having a large area.

Further, FIG. 8 shows the structure of the counter 6 which is not provided with the underframe 6a, and the counter 6 is formed in a panel shape by a stainless plate or the like. The counter 6 is also provided with first and second sinks 12 and 13, respectively, and a pool 10 is provided so that the cutting board can slide.

FIG. 9 is a plan view when the counter 6 is L-shaped.

In this example, the second sink 13 is located at the inflection point,
The area is wider than that shown in FIG.
In addition to the illustrated example, the first sink 12 and the range unit 9a
Of course, a layout in which the positions of are replaced is possible.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9 as well, by providing the shallow second sink 13 in addition to the first sink 12, it is possible to improve the above-mentioned kitchen work. is there.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.

(A) Since the sink and the shallow sink with a depth of about 50 mm are provided independently, it is possible to work with different water, and work efficiency is improved.

(B) Since the depth of the second sink is about 50 mm, it can be used as a sink for washing work and as a counter for cooking work surface, and it is possible to improve the function without expanding the frontage of the kitchen equipment. Becomes

(C) The second sink can be used not only as a sink for normal washing but also as a work surface. Compared with the conventional equipment in which the work surface of the counter and the sink are completely separated,
Washing operations and various other kitchen operations can be performed overlapping in the shallow sink area.

(D) Since a shallow sink can be used as a sink or work surface, a person can perform a series of work without moving if the work position is appropriately selected in consideration of the cooperation with the surrounding kitchen equipment, which is efficient. It is possible to carry out the work in a yard.

(E) Since the depth of the shallow sink is about 50 mm, the material placed on the bottom of the sink can be handled more easily than a sink with a normal depth, and it is possible to work in the kitchen with less strain on the waist and less fatigue. Become.

(F) After using a shallow sink as a work surface like a counter, it can be easily washed off with water, so cleaning after cooking is easier than when using a conventional counter, and it is always hygienic. You can cook.
