Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cabinet that can be used in a state where electric heating appliances such as rice cookers and ovens used in kitchens and galleys are accommodated.

A conventional cabinet has a door 4 in a storage section provided in a cabinet body 1, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
is provided so that it can be opened and closed freely. Shelves 2a and 2b are slidably provided on rails provided on both side walls of the cabinet body 1, and a mini-oven 7 is provided on the upper shelf 2a, and a rice cooker 6 is provided on the lower shelf 2b. . 12 is a workbench provided on the top of the cabinet body 1, and 5 is a handle provided on the top of the door 4.

In this way, the conventional cabinet simply stores electric heating appliances such as the mini oven 7 and the rice cooker 6, and each time these electric heating appliances are used, they are removed from the cabinet 1 and placed on the workbench 12.
Cooking is done on the tabletop or on the tabletop, and because it is troublesome to store the electric heating appliance inside the cabinet 1 after use, it is often left on the workbench 12.
It was not easy to use.

The present invention includes a cabinet body with a sash portion formed on the upper front surface, a door integrally constructed with a shelf slidably provided in the cabinet body, an electric heating device placed on the shelf, and A ventilator is provided at the rear upper part of the cabinet body to exhaust steam and hot air from the electric heating appliance to the outside of the cabinet body. The above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art are solved by providing an intake hole in the handle of the door and forming a louver in the sash portion of the cabinet body.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

Note that the same members as in the conventional cabinet will be described with the same reference numerals.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a cabinet body, and rails 3a, 3b are provided on both sides of the cabinet body 1 for guiding shelves 2a, 2b. 4
Reference characters a and 4b are doors that are integrated with the shelves 2a and 2b, and the doors 4a and 4b have handles 5a and 5 for opening and closing.
b are provided respectively. 6 is a rice cooker placed on the upper shelf 2a as an example of an electric heating appliance, and 7 is a mini oven placed on the lower shelf 2b. 8
is an outlet to which the input power of the rice cooker 6 and mini-oven 7 is connected, and a spiral cable 11 derived from the same circuit to which the power of the fan motor 10 of the ventilation system of the power supply box 9 is connected is connected to this outlet 8. There is. Reference numeral 12 denotes a workbench provided on the upper part of the cabinet body 1, and reference numeral 13 denotes an exhaust duct provided behind the upper wall 14 inside the cabinet body 1. The exhaust duct 13 and the inside of the cabinet body 1 are connected by punching 15 or lath metal. It is partitioned off by a partition plate 16. Reference numeral 17 denotes an air filter located behind the workbench 12 and provided in the exhaust duct 13. Reference numeral 18 denotes an air intake hole located at the upper part of the upper door 4a and provided in the handle 5a, and this air intake hole 18 is provided with a large number of punchings 19 or louvers 20 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
A sash 21 constitutes a part of the front surface of the cabinet 1, and the sash 21 is provided with an intake louver 22 and an indicator light 23 that lights up when the rice cooker 6 and the mini oven 7 are in operation.

When the rice cooker 6 and the mini oven 7 are housed in the cabinet configured as described above and the input power source 24 is connected to the outlet 8 to cook rice, for example, when the switch provided on the rice cooker 6 is turned on, The indicator light 23 provided on the sash 21 lights up, and the fan motor 10 operates to draw in outside air from the suction hole 18 provided on the sash 21 and the handle 5a of the door 4a, and the steam flowing out from the rice cooker 6 is removed. The hot air is directed along the upper wall 14 of the cabinet body.
It is discharged to the outside through an exhaust duct 13 and an air filter 17. When the rice cooking is finished, the operation of the fan motor 10 is stopped and the indicator light 23 is also turned off. In this state, close the upper door 4a to the cabinet body 1.
It can be pulled out to the front for serving or storing.

In this way, when the rice cooker 6 and the like are housed in the cabinet 1 and used, the fan motor 10 operates to draw outside air through the intake hole 18 provided in the handle 5a of the door 4a, and at the same time, the air flows out from inside the rice cooker 6. Since steam and hot air can be smoothly discharged from the exhaust duct 13 along the upper wall 14 inside the cabinet 1, the inside of the cabinet 1 is not filled with steam and condensation occurs, which improves the safety of these electric heating appliances. It is possible to ensure sex.

In addition, since the rice cooker 6 and mini oven 7 can be used with the rice cooker 6 and mini oven 7 housed inside the cabinet 1, cleaning up after meals is not a hassle, and it is convenient and easy to use for organizing and tidying up the kitchen and kitchen. Makes a good cabinet.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a handle 5a of a door 4a is attached to an upper wall 14 in the cabinet body 1.
By arranging the top wall 14 along the upper wall 14 and slanting the upper wall 14 by making the front part lower and the rear part higher, the inside of the cabinet 1 can be ventilated more smoothly.

As is clear from the above description, the following effects can be obtained by the cabinet of the present invention.

1. Even when an electric heating appliance such as a rice cooker is operated while housed inside the cabinet, the ventilation system installed inside the cabinet works in conjunction to smoothly exhaust steam and hot air flowing out from the electric heating appliance to the outside. Therefore, no dew condensation occurs inside the cabinet, and the safety of the electric heating appliance can therefore be ensured.

2. Since cooking can be carried out inside the cabinet, the troublesome work of taking out and storing electric heating appliances from the cabinet as in the past can be eliminated.

3. By providing the air intake hole in the door handle, the area of the air intake hole can be made larger in combination with the air intake louver in the sash, allowing smooth ventilation inside the cabinet.
