{Lifting Suspension CUPBOARD FOR KITCHEN, STERILIZATION METHOD} <br> <br> <br> Patents - stay tuned to the technology LIFTING SUSPENSION CUPBOARD FOR KITCHEN, STERILIZATION METHOD

The present invention relates to a hanging cupboard installed on a wall surface above a system kitchen, and a lifting / lowering cupboard for a kitchen which accommodates a raising and lowering rack therein.

Recently, in the system kitchen, a vacant space above the system kitchen is utilized effectively in order to secure a storage space as well as a sink bottom, and a hanging cupboard or a storage box is arranged in such a space. However, it is a troublesome task to access the contents from the hanging cupboard or storage box installed at such a high place. Therefore, in order to facilitate entry and exit of the object to be stored, for example, an elevating suspension rack having a vertically movable elevating rack in a cabinet having an open bottom is proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

The system kitchen typically consists of a sink, a cooking area and a range. This is a layout for washing in a sink and for smoothly performing a series of operations for heating a cooking material cut in a cooking space to a range. It is also common for the elevated hanging cupboard to be installed above the sink or cooking area. This is because, in addition to the fact that there is a range hood above the range, it is not possible to install an elevating cupboard, and it is installed above a sink or a cooking space, so that it can be lowered to the eye level of a kitchen user, . Therefore, in many cases, the lift-up hanging cupboard is in a layout adjacent to the range hood above the range inevitably.

Also, as in the case of the above-described lifting-type hanging cupboard, there is also disclosed a technique for constructing a dish dryer so as to be capable of raising and lowering a tableware (for example, Patent Document 2). Generally, the dish dryer is installed on the side of the system kitchen, but it can not be placed directly below the sink due to the occupied area of the sink. Therefore, when the user moves the tableware after cleaning to the dish dryer, the user is forced to move while holding the tableware firmly. It has become possible to improve the ease of use by such elevatable dish dryer.

Since the dishwasher dried by the dishwasher can be stored in the drawer cupboard as well as the storage box of the system kitchen, the dishwasher and the hanging cupboard are often used at the same time. When the hanging cupboard is configured to be movable up and down, It is possible to use both of them at the same time by one operation, and it is advantageous in terms of cost such that one driver is provided.

Kitchen appliances that require drying include wiping cloths such as cloths, towels, etc., in addition to dishes. Since such a cleaning cloth is left in a wet state for a long time, there is a high possibility that the germs reproduce. Therefore, it is necessary to perform sterilization in addition to drying such as other kitchen utensils for the cleaning cloth.

In order to carry out such sterilization, it is necessary to heat the cleaning cloth to 80 DEG C, for example. However, in the dryer, blowing or warm air is directly applied to the tableware to blow off the moisture, but the heat of the surface of the tableware does not rise so much due to the heat of vaporization when the water is blown. Therefore, even if warm air is directly applied to the cleaning cloth, the temperature of the surface of the cleaning cloth does not increase to a temperature at which sterilization is possible. In this case, the germs of the cleaning cloth may be dried in a state that the germs are not excluded and may be spores. When spores are formed, the germs have high heat resistance, and the effect of sterilization is deteriorated.

The present invention has been accomplished in view of the above-mentioned problem of sterilization of a cleaning cloth, and an object of the present invention is to provide a suspending cupboard for a kitchen which can be sufficiently heated even in a wet state in which the cleaning cloth is not dried, .

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cabinet comprising: a cabinet having a bottom open; a lifting rack for lifting and lowering the cabinet inside and outside the cabinet; And an outer wall which is disposed in the bacteria elimination column and heated by warm air blown into the hollow portion and a hollow portion into which warm air from the hot air fan flows, Wherein the cupboard is provided with a stand for the kitchen.

The space below the worktop of the system kitchen can be effectively utilized by the structure in which the sterilizing heights for performing the sterilization heating of the cooking utensil such as the washing cloth or the chopping board are installed in the lifting rack. Further, when the lifting rack is lowered, the cooking appliance in the lifting rack can also be taken out at a time for the cleaning cloth in the bacteria eliminating tank, so that the movement of the articles to be collected can be both easily and quickly performed.

In addition, in the above-described configuration, the stack is heated by hot air first, and since the cleaning cloth is indirectly heated by the heat, the heat can be directly heated by the heat of vaporization without raising the temperature of the cleaning cloth to 80 deg. Thus, it is possible to sufficiently remove the bacteria in a wet state in which the cleaning cloth is not dried.

The stage may have an inclined surface on which at least a part of the outer surface of the outer wall is in contact with the cleaning cloth.

In this configuration, since the cleaning cloth receives gravity and is pressed against the inclined surface, the contact between the cleaning cloth and the inclined surface can be stably maintained for a long time. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently transfer only the heat on the outer surface of the outer wall to the cleaning cloth.

The inclined surface of the mount stand may be formed in a substantially triangular section. By contacting the cleaning cloth in a widened state over two inclined surfaces with the top as a boundary, tensile forces are generated in both directions from the top to the periphery of the cleaning cloth to be caught by the cleaning cloth. Accordingly, the contact between the cleaning cloth and the inclined surface can be maintained more stably and for a long time, and it becomes possible to sufficiently transmit only the heat on the outer surface of the outer wall to the cleaning cloth.

The heated air heated by the outer wall may flow out of the stacking compartment and circulate through the sterilization hood to dry the cleaning cloth.

With this arrangement, one side of the cleaning cloth is sterilized by heat from the outer wall, and the other side is dried by warm air. Therefore, it is possible to rapidly and efficiently perform the sterilization and drying.

The elevator-type hanging cupboard for a kitchen may further include a duct for circulating warm air from a hot air fan to the rack. With this configuration, it is possible to freely dispose the hot air fan and the stand, and the hot air fan and the stand can be stacked in the vertical direction without being juxtaposed on the same plane, so that the occupancy efficiency of the space can be improved.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of sterilizing a cleaning cloth by using a pallet having a hollow portion and an outer wall, comprising the steps of loading a cleaning cloth on a pallet, And heating the outer wall to indirectly heat the portion in contact with the outer surface of the outer wall of the cleaning cloth.

The constituent elements corresponding to the technical idea in the above-mentioned lifting suspension cupboard for the kitchen and its explanation are also applicable to the above-mentioned method of sterilization.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, it is possible to sufficiently heat the cleaning cloth, such as a cloth, in a wet state in which the cloth is not dried, and the effect of removing the cleaning cloth can be improved.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that, in the present specification and drawings, constituent elements having substantially the same functional configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. In addition, the dimensions, materials and other specific numerical values shown in the following embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the invention and are not intended to limit the present invention except for the case where it is specifically mentioned.

The present embodiment aims at providing a disinfecting bowl in a lifting rack of a lifting / lowering cupboard for a kitchen (hereinafter referred to as &quot; hanging cupboard &quot;) and sufficiently heating it in a wet state in which the cleaning cloth is not dried . This is because, when heated to the same temperature, the damage of the cleaning cloth in a state of high humidity is given to the germs. Here, in order to facilitate understanding of the present embodiment, the arrangement of the hanging cupboard and the driving mechanism will be described first, and then the features of the present embodiment will be described in detail.

1 is a perspective view showing a positional relationship between a system kitchen and a hanging cupboard according to the present embodiment. In the system kitchen 100, the cooking utensils are disposed in the respective storage compartments depending on the size of the cooking utensils, such as fire (heating) or water required for cooking. Although the hanging cupboard 110 is installed above the system kitchen 100, the storage portion is lowered to the eye level of the user of the kitchen without opening and closing the door at a high position, .

The system kitchen 100 includes a sink 130, a cooking space 140, and a range 150. The hanging cupboard 110 is fixedly supported on the wall 500 at a position above the width of the sink 130 and the cooking space 140 of the system kitchen 100. On the other hand, the range hood 160 is fixedly supported on the wall 500 in the same manner as the hanging cupboard adjacent to the hanging cupboard 110 above the range 150 for handling firearms.

The hanging cupboard 110 includes a lower cabinet 170 and a lifting rack 180 that moves up and down inside and outside the cabinet 170 below the cabinet 170. The lifting rack 180 has a storage portion, and most of the front surface is opened, so that a tableware or an article around the kitchen can be taken in and out.

The upper door 172 and the lower door 174 are disposed on the front surface of the cabinet 170. When the elevating rack 180 descends and appears below the cabinet 170, (174) moves upward. Therefore, even if the upper end of the lifting rack 180 does not descend from the lower end of the cabinet 170, the front opening face of the lifting rack 180 appears in front of the user's eyes. With this configuration, the movable range of the lifting rack 180 can be narrowed, and the lifting operation time can be shortened, or the dimension in the height direction of the hanging cupboard 110 can be increased to increase the volume. Hereinafter, a driving mechanism for interlocking the lifting rack 180 and the lower door 174 will be described.

2 is a view showing a driving mechanism of the lifting rack 180. As shown in Fig. In FIG. 2, the lower door 174 is omitted in order to facilitate understanding.

First, by the rotation of the drive motor 190, two wide belts 200 are wound on the right and left in the horizontal direction. These belts are turned in the vertical direction by a forward pulley 210 (fixed pulley) fixed to the vicinity of both side plates of the cabinet 170 and the ends of the pulleys 212 are fixed to the lifting rack 180 And is fixed above the cabinet 170. Therefore, the lifting rack 180 is lifted and lowered by the rotation of the driving motor 190.

When the lifting rack 180 descends, the storage unit 220 appears, and the storage unit 220 is provided with the sterilizing box 230, and is isolated from the other space. This is because the air is prevented from entering from the other space without forming the sealing space by increasing the air pressure in the air filtering chamber.

In this way, the space below the worktable of the system kitchen 100 can be effectively utilized by the structure in which the sterilizing box 230 for sterilizing the cooking appliance such as a cleaning cloth or a knife is installed in the lifting rack. Further, when the lifting rack 180 is lowered, the cooking device in the lifting rack can also be taken out at a time from the cleaning cloth in the bacteria eliminating tank, so that the movement of the object to be stored can be carried out easily and quickly.

3 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the bacteria eliminating tab 230 of the present embodiment. The sterilizing box 230 includes a sterilizing wall 250, an opening and closing door 252, a fan 254, a duct 256, and a loading table 258.

The sterilizing wall 250 forms the periphery of the sterilizing box 230 and is provided for isolating it from other spaces in the lifting rack.

The opening / closing door 252 is made of transparent or semitransparent heat-resistant resin, and is rotatably mounted on the lifting rack 180 by a hinge mechanism. The cleaning cloth 270 to be sterilized can be provided by setting the opening and closing door 252 to the open state and the opening and closing door 252 is closed by the attraction force of the magnet 272. [ And the germicidal treatment is started. It also functions as an outlet for the cleaning cloth 270 after the germicidal treatment is completed.

The hot air fan 254 is disposed on the outer side of the sterilizing chamber 250 in the vertical direction above the sterilizing chamber 230 to generate warm air. The temperature of such warm air is set to be slightly higher so that the cleaning cloth 270 loaded on the loading table 258, which will be described later, is close to 80 ° C. It is also possible to set 80 ° C or higher, for example, 95 ° C, in order to balance the cost and the sterilizing effect.

The duct 256 functions as a duct for introducing the hot air generated by the hot air fan 254 into a rack 258 to be described later. Accordingly, one end of the duct is connected to the hot air fan 254, and the other end is connected to the two stacking belts 258.

It is possible to freely distribute the hot air fan 254 and the mounting table 258 by using the duct 256 such that the fan 254 and the mounting table 258 are arranged in the vertical direction The space occupation efficiency can be improved.

Since the air pressure in the duct 256 becomes higher toward the hot air fan 254, the size of the inlet port from the duct 256 to the loading table 258 is set to be equal to the flow rate of the hot air to the respective stacking tables 258 (Not shown) in accordance with the distance between the hot air fan 254 and the stacking table 258. 3, the inlet port to the mounting table 258a closer to the hot air fan 254 is smaller than the inlet port to the mounting table 258b farther from the hot air fan 254.

The mounting table 258 is formed of stainless steel and has a hollow portion 276 through which hot air flows from the duct 256 and an outer wall 278 heated by warm air blown into the hollow portion 276. Then, the cleaning cloth 270 to be sterilized is brought into contact with the outer surface of the outer wall 278 and sterilized.

In order to carry out the sterilization, it is necessary to heat the cleaning cloth 270 to 80 DEG C, for example. However, in the conventional method of directly blowing air or warm air and blowing the water, the heat of the cleaning cloth 270 does not rise due to the heat of vaporization when the water is blown. The outer wall 278 of the stacking table 258 is first heated by the warm air from the hot air fan 254 and the cleaning cloth 270 is heated indirectly by the heat, It is possible to raise the temperature of the cleaning cloth 270 to 80 deg. C, which is the killing temperature of the germs without being taken away, so that it is possible to sufficiently remove the bacteria in a wet state in which the cleaning cloth is not dried.

Here, the loading table 258 has an inclined surface on which at least a part of the outer surface of the outer wall 278 contacts the cleaning cloth 270. In this configuration, since the cleaning cloth 270 is gravitationally pressed against the inclined surface, the contact between the cleaning cloth 270 and the inclined surface can be stably maintained for a long time. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently transfer only the heat on the outer surface of the outer wall to the cleaning cloth 270.

The inclined surface of the mounting table 258 is formed in a substantially triangular section. By contacting the cleaning cloth in a widened state over two inclined surfaces with the top as a boundary, tensile forces are generated in both directions from the top to the periphery of the cleaning cloth to be caught by the cleaning cloth. Therefore, the contact between the cleaning cloth 270 and the inclined surface can be maintained more stably and for a long time, and the heat on the outer surface of the outer wall can be sufficiently transmitted only to the cleaning cloth 270. In addition, since the outer appearance is in the state of hanging over the clothes rack, a clean image can be given to the user.

4 is a reference view showing another embodiment of the loading table 258. As shown in Fig. As described above, the mounting table 258 is formed in a substantially triangular section in a shape such that the triangular pyramid is collapsed. However, the shape of the mounting table 258 is not limited to this case, and any shape may be used as long as the inclined surface in contact with the cleaning cloth 270 is formed at a part thereof. For example, in FIG. 4 (a), the cross section of the mount 258 of FIG. 3 is a gentle semi-ellipse 280, and in FIG. 4 (b) Sectional shape as a spherical shape 282. As shown in Fig.

Considering that the object of this embodiment is the surface contact between the cleaning cloth 270 and the mount table 258, the contact surface of the mount table 258 as shown in FIG. 4 (c) ) Are within the scope of the present embodiment, and the objects and effects of the present embodiment can be exerted.

In this way, the heated air heated on the outer wall of the stacking table 258 also flows out of the stacking table 258 and circulates around the stacking table 258 to dry the cleaning cloth 270.

5 is an explanatory view for explaining the circulation path of the warm air. 5, the hot air generated in the hot air fan 254 and introduced into the loading table 258 from the duct 256 through the inlet 288 first contacts the outer wall 278 of the loading table 258, (Arrow in solid line in Fig. 5). The heated air heated by the outer wall 278 flows out from the outlet 290 formed at the end of the stand 258. Since the outlet 290 has a slight angle with respect to the vertical direction, the hot air leans out in one direction, and the hot air circulates in the sterilizing heatsink 230 (the broken arrow in Fig. 5).

With this configuration, one side of the cleaning cloth 270 is sterilized by the heat from the outer wall 278, and the other side is dried by warm air. Therefore, it is possible to rapidly and efficiently perform the sterilization and drying. Further, by disposing other kitchen utensils such as cutting boards in the atmosphere of warm air from the stacking table 258, it is possible to sterilize and dry the kitchen utensils.

(Method of sterilization)

Next, a method for sterilizing the cleaning cloth 270 using the above-described sterilizing filter 230 will be described.

6 is a flowchart showing the flow of the process of the bacteria elimination method. In this embodiment, a loading table 258 having a hollow portion 276 and an outer wall 278 is provided in advance in the sterilizing box 230, and the sterilizing method is performed using the loading table 258. [

First, the cleaning cloth to be sterilized is loaded on the stacking table 258 (S300), and hot air from the hot air fan 254 flows into the hollow portion 276 to heat the outer wall (S302). Then, the portion contacting the outer surface of the outer wall of the cleaning cloth 270 is indirectly heated (S304). The heated air heated by the outer wall of the loading table 258 is also discharged out of the loading table 258 (S306), circulated around the loading table 258 to dry the washing cloth 270 (S308) .

By such a bacteria elimination method, it is possible to sufficiently heat the cleaning cloth such as a dish cloth in a wet state in which it is not dried, and the bacteria removal effect of the cleaning cloth can be improved.

While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to these examples. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

The present invention is applicable to an ascending and descending cupboard for a kitchen which accommodates a raising and lowering rack therein, and a method of disinfecting the cupboard, which is installed on a wall surface above the system kitchen.
