Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a kitchen device in which a countertop is provided with an opening for mounting a gas stove, a sink, or other cooking units.

(Prior Art) Conventional devices of this type generally have a storage space for pots and other cooking utensils, bottles, etc. below the countertop.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) It is desired that the storage space of the above conventional device be used for multiple purposes.

Therefore, in order to meet the above request, it may be possible to install equipment that requires piping work, such as a gas water heater, in that space, but in this case, the piping work would have to be done by going inside the kitchen equipment. , which is accompanied by the inconvenience of being extremely difficult to work with.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention seeks to provide a device that allows appliances that require piping work, such as gas water heaters, to be incorporated into existing kitchen equipment with simple piping work. On the countertop,
In kitchen equipment that has openings for installing gas stoves, sinks, and other cooking units, gas water heaters, gas openings, and other plumbing work are installed below the countertop and adjacent to the openings. The present invention is characterized in that an instrument is disposed, and a stopper pipe is disposed below the opening to communicate the piping of the instrument with a corresponding main pipe.

(Function) The present invention has the above configuration, and according to this, when an appliance that requires plumbing work is installed in the space below the countertop and adjacent to the opening of the countertop, the appliance Piping work that connects the pipes and the corresponding source pipes with the connecting pipes can be performed through the opening, and therefore there is no need to crawl into the narrow Q storage space below the countertop, making the work easier. can be done.

(Example) Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The one shown is the countertop (2) of the kitchen equipment (1).
This figure shows a case in which an appliance that requires plumbing work, such as a gas water heater (3), is installed in a small space at the lower corner of It has an opening (6) for installing a sink (4) and a gas stove (5), which are units for cooking, and a storage space (6) below the countertop (2) for storing other cooking utensils such as pots and seasoning bottles. 7).

The gas water heater (3) is prepared separately, and inside its main body (3a), a heat exchanger (not shown), a gas burner for heating the heat exchanger, and a gas control device are provided. On the outside of a), a water supply pipe (8) and a hot water supply pipe (9) connected to the heat exchanger and a gas supply pipe a [connected to the gas burner] are protruded from the inner surface thereof. At the same time, an exhaust port aυ is provided, and a decorative panel 3 having an operation knob (12+) for controlling the nuclear gas burner, extinguishing, etc. is provided in front of the exhaust port aυ.

The countertop on which this gas water heater (3) is installed (
2) A main pipe for water supply (14, main pipe for hot water supply - and main pipe for gas supply Q6) is provided on the lower rear plate.

The gas stove (5) also includes a stove body (5a) that is smaller than the opening (6), and a top plate (5b) that covers not only the top surface of the stove body (5a) but also the entire surface of the opening (6). The flange portion formed on the top surface of the stove body (5) is placed on the edge of the opening (6) of the countertop (2).

The flange portion extends rearward, and a small opening aη for piping work and exhaust discharge is formed therein.

The top plate (5b) has a through hole 0 through which the gas burner mark α in the stove body (5a) can be seen, and an exhaust port that communicates with the exhaust port of the gas water heater (3) via an exhaust duct (20). Qυ is provided.

When installing the gas water heater (3), before installing the gas stove (5) in the opening (6) of the countertop (2), connect the water supply pipe from the opening (6),
Insert the connecting pipe (to) for hot water supply and the connecting pipe C4 for gas supply, and use the entire opening (6) to connect these connecting pipes C21.
...at the joints at both ends of each corresponding gas water heater +31 side piping 181 (9) (10) and main pipe A4
It can be connected to α51αe, and can also be used on a gas stove (5).
If the top plate (5) of the gas stove (5) has been installed,
b) and insert each connecting pipe (22c!31 (24)) through the small opening (17) of the stove body (5a).

In this case, the gas water heater (3) is installed in a small space in the lower corner of the countertop (2), and each of its pipes 18
1 (9) Ql is each corresponding source tube (141 (15) α
The water sent from the main water supply pipe a4) is warmed as it passes through the heat exchanger, and is connected to the main water supply pipe
At the same time, the combustion exhaust is sent to the outside through the exhaust duct (CM) and above the countertop (2).
be discharged.

In the illustrated example, a gas water heater (3) is used as a device that requires piping work, but the invention is not limited to this; for example, a water heater that uses oil as fuel may be used; in this case, Install piping, connecting pipes, and main pipes for oil supply.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, a gas water heater, a gas oven, and other appliances that require piping work are disposed below the countertop and adjacent to the opening of the countertop. Since a connecting pipe is provided below the opening to connect the piping of the appliance and the corresponding source pipe, the piping work for the appliance can be carried out through the opening without having to go inside the kitchen equipment. This has the effect of simplifying the work.
