However, the above-mentioned conventional arrangement is not always excellent in usability when cleaning up after cleaning, even if it is easy to use when cooking. For example, in order to wash the pots and pans used for cooking, it was necessary to carry heavy pots from the stove to the sink through the cooking space. Such carrying work is not only labor-intensive, but there is also a risk that the residual juice of the dishes adhering to the pan or frying pan will be spilled on the way and stain the worktop or the floor of the kitchen.

Further, even when cooking, for example, in order to boil hot water in a pot, the heavy pot is placed far away in a state where water is put into the pot from a faucet located near a sink. I had to carry it to the stove. Furthermore,
In order to throw away the boiled juice in the cooked pot, you had to carry a hot and heavy pot to the sink, and there was a risk of spilled boiled juice on your hands and arms.

The above-mentioned problems associated with the conventional arrangement on the kitchen cabinet worktop are due to the increase in the number of households only for the elderly and the recent tendency that even small children are cooking or helping themselves. It is becoming more and more apparent.

[0011]

1 is a perspective view showing a kitchen cabinet according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which a box-like sink cabinet 1 and a stove cabinet 2 are arranged adjacent to each other. Work tops 3 and 4 are attached to the upper surfaces of the sink cabinet 1 and the stove cabinet 2 from the lower surface side with screws, an adhesive, or the like. As is clear from the drawings, the worktop 4 of the stove cabinet 2 is provided at a position lower than the worktop 3 of the sink cabinet 1.

The insides of the sink cabinet 1 and the stove cabinet 2 are used as a storage space for storing pots and cooking utensils. A door 12 or a drawer 13 is provided on the front surface of the cabinets 1 and 2 as required, or a dishwasher or a dish dryer can be incorporated.

The work tops 3 and 4 are made of any material such as stainless steel, enamel, and artificial marble (synthetic resin), and are formed in any color and shape. Although not shown, the back guard can be formed over the entire rear width of the work tops 3 and 4.

On the worktop 3 of the sink cabinet 1, a main sink 5 and a cooking space 6 are arranged.

The main sink 5 is provided with a water faucet 7 for washing and cooking food ingredients, pots, dishes and the like.

The cooking space 6 is a flat space for performing the work associated with cooking such as cutting, chopping, and mixing the cooking ingredients.

A stove 8 and a sub-sync 9 are arranged on the worktop 4 of the stove cabinet 2.

The stove 8 is for performing work involving heating such as cooking, baking, and steaming cooking ingredients in a pan or frying pan.
A gas stove is generally used as the stove 8, but the gas stove is not limited to this, and can be replaced with an electric cooking heater such as a halogen heater or a sheath heater, or a heating device for cooking.

The sub-sync 9 has at least a stove 8
Drainage port 10 for discarding broth, boiled juice, etc. that is generated during heating and cooking in the above, and a net catcher (not shown) for collecting raw garbage in a drain trap (not shown) leading to this drainage port. ) And are provided.

The sub-sink 9 has 1-2 pans and frying pans.
It is preferable to have a size and a depth that can fit individually. This makes it possible to efficiently wash pots and pans with water and draw water.
Even when the main sink 5 is being used for another purpose, a dirty pot or the like can be temporarily placed in the sub sink 9. Further, by providing the drainage port 10, it is possible to drain the boiled juice of noodles and vegetables as it is.

The distance between the stove 8 and the sub sink 9 in the work top 4 of the stove cabinet 2 is preferably about 50 to 150 mm at the portion where they are closest to each other. If it becomes narrower than this, heat from the stove 8 during cooking is transmitted to the sub-sink 9 and causes a hindrance, and a pot, frying pan, etc. are temporarily placed on the worktop 4 between the stove 8 and the sub-sink 9. It is inconvenient because it is not possible to leave a catering space for it. On the contrary, if the distance is made wider, the moving distance when carrying a pot or the like between the stove 8 and the sub-sink 9 becomes long, and the meaning of providing the sub-sink 9 becomes weak.

The sub-sink 9 is preferably provided with a water faucet (not shown) as in the main sink 5.
As a result, the distance to move to the stove 8 during water drawing can be shortened, and the dirty pot after cooking can be washed immediately, preventing dirt from adhering to the cooking space 6 or the stove 8. can do.

The faucet provided in the sub-sink 9 may be of a type in which a general discharge port is fixed, but preferably, a faucet with shower capable of moving the discharge port is used.
As a result, the shower can be moved to wash the pot without moving the pot placed in the sub-sink 9, and
Dirt inside the sub sink 9 can be washed away directly.

The portion of the worktop 4 between the stove 8 and the sub sink 9 in the stove cabinet 2 can be formed so as to have a gentle downward slope toward the sub sink 9, as shown in FIG. This inclined surface 11
When the boiling water or food is boiled on the worktop from the pot heated by the stove 8, the boiled water guides the boiling water or boiled soup into the sub-sink 9, and pours it.
Further, even when the boiling water or the boiling water remains on the inclined surface 11, it can be easily poured into the sub-sink 9 by washing with water, and the work top 4 can always be kept clean.

In the above, the embodiment in which the sub-sink 9 is arranged in the stove cabinet 2 on the sink cabinet 1 side of the stove 8 has been described. However, the sub sink 9 is disposed on the side opposite to the sink cabinet 1 with the stove 8 in between and adjacent to the stove. It is also possible to arrange the sub-sync 9.

[0026]

As described above, according to the present invention, the moving distance of the cooking utensil and the cooker himself / herself at the time of cooking or cleaning up is shortened, so that the labor of the cooking work in the kitchen is reduced and the efficiency is achieved. You can

Since the dirty cookware after cooking on the stove can be stored in the adjacent sub-sink, the cooking space on the worktop is not occupied by the cookware after cooking, and other cooking work can be performed simultaneously. You can proceed.

Further, since the work top is prevented from being soiled by the juice or oil of the food from the cookware after cooking, the work top can always be kept clean.
