DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gas stove for cooking in a home kitchen or the like, and more particularly, to a heating part for cooking by burning gas, which is used when the gas stove is not used. The present invention relates to a gas stove with a cover that can cover a heating portion with a cover and that can more effectively use the system kitchen when the system kitchen is configured.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A system kitchen has a counter or sink unit provided with a sink and a faucet for supplying hot and cold water, a worktop unit having a drawer on the front surface and a cooking space on the upper surface, and a gas crater. It is composed of units such as a gas stove unit, and these units are appropriately selected, and each function is easily used in a straight line or an L-shape, and is assembled to a kitchen. For example, a cooking unit is placed next to a sink unit, and a gas stove unit is placed next to it.

[0003] The gas stove unit has a crater for burning gas and a pot for mounting cooking utensils on the upper surface, a knob for adjusting gas ignition and heat power, a grill for grilling fish, and the like on the front surface. The height is almost the same as other units such as a cooking table unit adjacent to the gas stove. In recent years, the gas stove unit has been made lower than the height of the worktop unit, etc., and the position of the gotok has been set one step lower than the upper surface of the worktop to make it easier to see the inside of the pot during cooking. There is known a system kitchen or the like which facilitates movement of a pot or the like placed on a worktop unit in accordance with the height of a kitchen table.

[0004]

However, the gas stove has a relatively large top surface and a relatively large space in the kitchen so that two or more pots or pans can be placed at the same time during cooking. It is difficult to put anything other than flat bottoms, such as pots and pans, because it is a gotok, and even when not cooking by heating gas, work such as cooking preparation and serving dishes is done on a gas stove. I couldn't do that. In addition, gas stoves are spots that are easy to get dirty due to spilling of pots and splashing of oil, etc.When dirty, if you do not clean them each time, the appearance will be impaired, but there are many fine parts and cleaning is particularly troublesome. there were. Unless cleaned, such as when a person suddenly comes, the dirty condition will be shown to the person as it is.

[0005] In addition, even if the gas stove is aligned with the left and right cooking stoves and the height of the gas stove surface of the gas stove is the same as that of the left and right units, it is difficult to move the pot or the like over the stick when heating. Although it is easy to use, the gas stove cannot be used for operations other than heating as described above.

[0006] Furthermore, fire prevention is required to provide a distance of 15 cm or more between the gas stove and the side wall adjacent to the gas stove. Therefore, when the gas stove is installed in contact with the side wall, the wall and the gas stove unit are connected to each other. A space portion having a predetermined width is provided between them, but the space portion is too small in width even if it is formed of the same material as the upper surface of the cooking table unit, and such a space cannot be effectively used for cooking. And wasted space.

[0007]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a gas stove is constituted as follows. That is, the gas stove was provided with a cover, and at least the heated portion of the gas stove could be covered with the cover. Thus, when not in use, the cover can be closed to cover the heating portion. Also, the cover is rotatable to open on the front side of the gas stove, and when the cover is further closed,
The upper surface of the cover was set to be approximately the same height as the upper surfaces of the cooking stoves on the left and right sides of the gas stove. As a result, when the gas stove is not used, the cover can be closed and the gas stove itself can be covered, and the height when the cover is closed can be made the same height as the cooking stoves on the left and right sides of the gas stove. The space can be used effectively such as preparing food on the upper surface. In addition, since the portion provided between the gas stove and the wall is continuous with the cover, the space can be effectively used without forming a dead space.

Further, the inner surface of the cover is formed so that the upper portion thereof is brought to the front when the cover is opened, and the side surface is substantially vertical. As a result, the cover becomes a wind guide member or a heat shield member, and can smoothly guide smoke and hot air rising from the gas stove during cooking into the upper ventilation fan and the exhaust duct without scattering to the left and right. Scattering and the like can be prevented, and dirt on the wall surface around the gas stove can be reduced.
