Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a kitchen device, and its purpose is to incorporate a drying tank and a hot air device into the main body of a kitchen device such as a sink, so that either device can be easily selected and used by switching the blowing direction of the damper device. To provide a kitchen device that is easy to use and has an aesthetically superior appearance as a kitchen device.

Conventionally, a hot air fan for kitchen use disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-129046 has been known.

In the previously disclosed hot air fan for kitchen use, a hot air device is inserted into and out of a recessed part of a main body of kitchen furniture such as a cooking table, and this hot air device can discharge hot air in front of the recessed part, and This hot air device can be used as a dryer for dishes, etc. by taking it out from the receptacle and connecting the discharge port of the hot air device to the opening of the drainer case and operating the hot air device.

However, this disclosed hot air fan for kitchen use has the disadvantage that the switching operation is complicated when it is used for heating or as a dryer for dishes, etc., or vice versa, and it does not have a good appearance as kitchen furniture. Ta.

This invention was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the previously disclosed hot air fans for kitchen use, and to provide a kitchen device that can be easily selectively used for heating or drying dishes, etc., and has an aesthetically superior appearance as a kitchen device. An embodiment of this invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2A and 2B, 1 is the main body of the kitchen device T, and 2 is a drying tank provided on the upper stand 3 of this main body 1.

This drying tank 2, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 2A,
The side of the upper stand 3 is open, and the drying tank 2 is mounted on the upper stand 3 so that the upper end thereof is flush with the surface of the upper stand 3.

Of course, the main body 1 of the kitchen device T is equipped with other devices such as a washing tank A.

S is an internal space of this main body 1, and a hot air device O is provided in this internal space S.

This hot air mechanism O connects a required hot air generator 4, a damper device 5 interposed in a pipe 7 downstream of the hot air generator 4 in the hot air flow direction, and a drying tank 2 between the damper device 5 and the drying tank 2. It consists of a pipe 7 that communicates with the hot air outlet 6 attached to the lower end of the front surface of the main body 1.

The damper device 5 used in this invention is of a manual type and has little air leakage, as shown in FIG. 2B.

The kitchen device according to the invention having such a configuration operates the hot air generator 4 disposed in the internal space S of the main body 1 to generate hot air, and the hot air is used to generate hot air at the user's discretion. When using the operating rod 8 of the damper device 5 protruding from the front of the main body 1 for drying dishes, the damper device 5 is operated to blow warm air toward the drying tank 2 side, or for heating the feet. When blowing air to the hot air outlet 6 of the damper device 5
Hot air can be blown to either side so that the hot air is blown to the hot air outlet 6.

As detailed above, in the kitchen device according to the invention, a drying tank with an open upper side is provided on the upper stand of the main body, a hot air generator is arranged in the internal space of the main body, and A blower pipe extending from this hot air generator is connected via a damper device to a hot air outlet installed at the lower front of the main body and to the drying tank, respectively, and the free end of the operating rod of this damper device is connected to the drying tank. Since this is a kitchen device that protrudes from the front, the user can decide whether to use it as a foot warmer or a dryer by simply operating the free end of the operating rod of the damper device that protrudes from the front of the main unit. In addition to being extremely easy to select, a drying tank with an open upper side is provided on the two-part stand of the main body, and a hot air generator, a blower pipe extending from the hot air generator, and a damper device are all included in the main unit. Since it is placed in the internal space of the interior, it also has the effect of making the exterior look extremely aesthetically pleasing.
