Description

Storage library

The present invention relates to a storage having a drawer.

For general households, system kitchen utensils have become popular. In the system kitchen utensils, in order to accommodate: conditioning equipment, conditioning materials, food containers, etc., there are a large number of storage spaces. For example, usually, a drawer and a sliding door are provided below the top panel (the top of the cabinet). In recent years, it is assumed that the articles to be stored are improved to a certain extent, and the ease of use is improved by making a effort on the size of the drawer and the shape of the partition.

In order to further improve the ease of use of the system kitchen utensils, the applicant of the present application has proposed to provide a storage portion (mounting member) in which the article can be stored in the drawer of the storage provided in the system kitchen utensil, and the drawer is opened and closed. The structure in which the accommodating portion is raised and lowered (refer to Patent Document 1).

In detail, in the middle of Patent Document 1, the one end (front end) of the elongated arm is connected to the accommodating portion, and the pulley is coupled to the other end (rear end) of the arm. Further, on the wall surface of the storage, an inclined rail that rises from the rear of the storage compartment toward the front is provided. Therefore, when the drawer is pulled out, the accommodating portion is raised by raising the pulley by the inclination of the rail, and when the drawer is pushed in, the accommodating portion is lowered by lowering the inclined pulley of the rail. .

[Advanced technical literature] [Patent Literature]

[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2010-201062

Although the technique of the above Patent Document 1 is advantageous, it is now more demanding to improve the product. One of the improvements can be exemplified by making the lifting operation of the accommodating portion smoother. In other words, it is desirable to have a structure in which the slidability is increased when the accommodating portion is raised to the bottom or when the sway is suppressed to the bottom.

Further, the accommodating portion is preferably raised from an early point when the drawer is pulled out (the time when the storage is slightly exposed). Even if the drawer is not fully opened, if the storage portion is raised by a small amount of drawers, it is easy to take out the frequently used items. However, when the temperature rises from an early point of time, the lifting operation becomes sharp, and the track (tilt) becomes an acute angle, and there is a problem that the slippage is lost.

In the technique of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the arm is moved up and down in parallel in the vertical direction, and the accommodating portion is moved up and down. Therefore, the accommodating portion is lifted and lowered only by the amount of the pulley being lifted and lowered (the amount of lifting of the pulley: the amount of lifting of the accommodating portion = 1) :1). In other words, since the upper and lower widths of the rails are required to be able to move up and down the storage portion, the vertical width of the rail tends to increase in size, and there is a possibility that layout problems may occur due to different specifications.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the invention is to provide a storage container capable of achieving a smooth lifting operation of an accommodating portion and an early rise, and achieving a reduction in size of the rail member.

In order to solve the above-described problems, a representative configuration of the storage container according to the present invention is a storage that can be slidably accommodated in a drawer, and includes a storage unit that is disposed in the drawer and can store articles therein. And an arm extending from the storage portion toward the rear of the drawer, and three or more pulleys that are attached to the vicinity of the rear end of the arm and separated in the front-rear direction, and the three walls provided on the storage chamber are the three In the above-described pulley-guided rail member, the rail member is configured such that the drawer is pulled out, and the rear pulley is guided downward with respect to the front pulley to rotate the arm to cause the storage portion. rise.

In the above configuration, when the drawer is pulled out, the arm rotates and the storage portion rises. Therefore, in the case where the arm is moved in parallel in the vertical direction as in Patent Document 1, the detachable operation (lifting operation) is performed more smoothly than the accommodating portion. Further, by moving the arm to raise the accommodating portion, the accommodating portion can be raised more than the pulley up and down (the amount of vertical movement of the pulley <the amount of rise of the accommodating portion). From this, it is understood that the smooth operation of the accommodating portion and the early rise can be achieved, and the size of the rail member can be reduced, and the problem of the layout arrangement due to the specification can be solved.

It is preferable that the rail member is provided with a rib for preventing the wheel from being removed from the edge of the running surface on which the pulley abuts. Thereby, the falling off of the pulley can be prevented.

The rail member has an upper rail on the upper surface of the plate-like base portion extending in the moving direction of the drawer, a lower rail on the lower surface, and a groove that descends from the rear of the storage container toward the front in the center of the base portion, and the above three or more The pulley includes an upper pulley that abuts against the upper rail, a lower pulley that abuts against the lower rail, and a center pulley that is inserted into the groove. Thereby, the arm can be optimally rotated to raise the accommodating portion.

The arm is preferably detachable from the storage portion. Therefore, it is easy to improve the usability because the drawer is easily removed from the storage when the cleaning or the like is performed.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a storage case in which the sleek lifting operation of the accommodating portion and the early rise are both established, and the rail member is downsized.

Hereinafter, the best mode of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The dimensions, materials, other specific numerical values, and the like shown in the embodiments are merely examples for making the understanding of the invention easy to use, and the present invention is not limited unless otherwise specified. In the present specification and the drawings, elements that have substantially the same functions and configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description of the elements that are not directly related to the present invention is omitted.

[First Embodiment]

Fig. 1 is a view showing a system kitchenware 100 including the storages 110, 112, and 114 of the first embodiment of the present invention. Further, the arrow FR in the figure indicates the front side, the arrow LH indicates the left side, and the arrow RH indicates the right side.

As shown in Fig. 1, the system kitchenware 100 is integrally provided with a top panel 102 (top of the cabinet), a cooking chamber 104, a conditioning space 106, and a sink 108. Here, the system kitchenware 100 includes a storage 110 called a cooktop, a storage 112 called a base, and a storage 114 called a sink. In each of the storages 110 to 114, the plurality of drawers 120 (only one symbol is attached in the figure) are slidably accommodated separately.

FIG. 2 is a view for explaining the storage 114. Fig. 3 is a view showing the removal of the wall surface of the storage unit 114. In Figs. 3(a) and 3(b), the state in which the degree of opening and closing of the drawer 120 is changed is shown. Further, in the third (a) and (b), the opening of the storage 114 is indicated by a broken line. Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described with reference to the storage unit 114. However, the same description can be applied to the storage units 110 and 112.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the inside of the drawer 120 of the storage compartment 114, the accommodating parts 122a and 122b are arrange|positioned. Here, the accommodating portion 122a is a tool holder. The accommodating portion 122b is a recess that is open on the upper surface, and can accommodate various articles such as enamel and wrap film. The accommodating portions 122a and 122b are hooked and supported by the beam 124, and can be easily attached (detached) to the beam 124.

The outline of the elevating mechanism of the accommodating portions 122a and 122b will be described with reference to Figs. 3(a) and 3(b). As described above, the accommodating portions 122a and 122b are supported by the beam 124. A sliding member 128 (refer to FIG. 4) is attached to both ends of the beam 124, and the column member 126 is movable in parallel in the vertical direction. In the rear end of the arm 134, a traveling pulley (upper pulley 140, lower pulley 142, central pulley 144) is mounted on the rail member 146. With pumping When the drawer 120 is moved in and out of the rail members 140, the arms 134 are rotated, and the storage portions 122a and 122b are moved up and down. Hereinafter, each element will be described in detail.

Fig. 4 is a view for explaining the column member 126, Fig. 4(a) is a partially exploded perspective view, and Fig. 4(b) is a view for assembling Fig. 4(a). As shown in Fig. 4 (a) and (b), the column member 126 is a side surface inside the rectangular frame and has a road surface 126a extending in the vertical direction. On the other hand, upper and lower rollers 128a and 128b are provided in the sliding member 128 attached to both ends of the beam 124. Further, the upper and lower rollers 128a and 128b are moved along the road surface 126a to move the slide member 128 up and down, and the storage portions 122a and 122b which are further attached to the beam 124 are movable in parallel with the upper and lower sides.

A spring 126b is included in the inside of the frame of the column member 126, and the sliding member 128 is constantly urged upward. Thereby, the movement of the accommodating parts 122a and 122b can be assisted, and the weight of the accommodating parts 122a and 122b can be reduced. The column member 126 is fixed to the front plate 120a of the drawer 120. In addition, the detailed description of the column element 126 has been disclosed in the patent document 1 (JP-A-2010-201062).

Fig. 5 is a view showing a connection between the arm 134 and the sliding member 128, and an enlarged view of a range E1 in Fig. 2; In the fifth diagram (a), the state before the arm 134 is coupled is illustrated, and in the fifth diagram (b), the state in which the arms 134 are coupled is illustrated. As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and (b), the sliding member 128 and the arm 134 are coupled by the latch mechanism 130.

In the sliding member 128, the claw portion 132 of the latch mechanism 130 is by The shaft 128c is rotatably supported by the shaft. Therefore, by rotating the arm 134, the sliding member 128 can be moved up and down (right).

The claw portion 132 has a convex portion 132a that is retractable by elasticity and a space 132b for retracting the convex portion 132a on the side surface thereof. On the other hand, the arm 134 is hollow so that the claw portion 132 can be inserted, and has a hole portion 134a that engages with the convex portion 132a on the side surface thereof.

Therefore, when the arm 134 is attached so as to cover the claw portion 132, the convex portion 132a and the hole portion 134a are engaged with each other so as to be coupled to each other (the arm 134 extends from the accommodating portions 122a and 122b toward the rear of the drawer 120). . Further, when the arm 134 is to be removed, the arm portion 134 can be pulled out from the claw portion 132 by pushing the protrusion 132a back and retracting.

Thus, by attaching and detaching the arm 134, the main body of the drawer 120 and the arm 134 can be attached and detached to the storage compartment 114 separately. When the main body of the drawer 120 and the arm 134 are not separable, the rail of the drawer 120, the arm 134, and each of the pulleys must be simultaneously fitted. The drawer 120 is of considerable weight, and it is difficult to match the four positions at the same time.

However, according to the first embodiment, the arm 134 and the pulleys are first mounted, and then the drawer 120 is placed on the rail of the drawer, so that the arm 134 can be attached to the drawer 120 from the rear. Therefore, it can be attached and detached by labor equivalent to the drawer which does not have the accommodating parts 122a and 122b.

Fig. 6 is a view showing the rear end of the arm 134. As shown in Fig. 6, a triangular triangular piece 136 is continuously formed at the rear end of the arm 134. In the vicinity of each vertex of the triangular piece 136, the upper pulley 140, the lower pulley 142, and the center pulley 144 are coupled to each other by rivets 140a, 142a, and 144a. borrow The rivets 140a, 142a, and 144a are coupled to each other, and it is possible to eliminate the possibility of slack when the bolt is used.

The lower pulley 142 is disposed to be separated from the upper pulley 140 in the front-rear direction. Further, the center pulley 144 is also disposed to be separated from the upper pulley 140 in the front-rear direction. Further, the lower pulley 142 may be moved almost in the front-rear direction in the front-rear direction in the front-rear direction, but does not exceed the position ahead of the upper pulley 140.

Fig. 7 is a view showing the rail member 146, Fig. 7(a) is an external view, and Fig. 7(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of Fig. 7(a). Such a rail member 146 is provided on the wall surface of the storage 114.

As shown in Fig. 7 (a) and (b), the rail member 146 has an upper rail 148 on the upper surface of the plate-like base extending in the moving direction of the drawer 120, and a lower rail 150 on the lower surface in the center of the base. It has a groove (hereinafter referred to as "central track 152").

The upper rail 148 extends substantially horizontally, and the upper pulley 140 abuts (walks). In this case, the lower rails 150 are substantially horizontal at both ends, but are swollen downward from the rear of the storage 114 toward the front in the vicinity of the center (hereinafter, this portion is referred to as "bulging portion 150b"). Similarly, the center rail 152 is inclined substantially horizontally from the rear of the storage 114 toward the front in the vicinity of the center (hereinafter, this portion is referred to as "inclined portion 152a"). The lower pulley 142 abuts (walks) on the lower rail 150, and the center pulley 144 is inserted (walking) on the center rail 152.

A bulging portion 150b is provided in the lower rail 150, and an inclined portion 152a is provided in the center rail 152 for the rear lower pulley 142 and the center pulley 144. The upper pulleys 140 that are not guided in the up-and-down direction are guided downward, and the connected (continuous) triangular pieces 136 are rotated. Here, the distance between the pulleys of the upper pulley 140, the lower pulley 142, and the center pulley 144 is constant, and the upper rail 148, the lower rail 150, and the center rail 152 are designed in consideration of the distance between the pulleys. That is, the bulging portion 150b of the lower rail 150 and the inclined portion 152a of the center rail 152 are trajectories corresponding to the rotation of the triangular piece 136 (the lower pulley 142, the center pulley 144), and are adjusted to each other (so that The lower pulley 142 is designed along the lower rail 150 such that the central pulley 144 is along the central rail 152).

As shown in Fig. 7(b), the rail member 146 is provided with ribs 148a and 150a for preventing the wheel from being detached from the upper rail 148 and the lower rail 150, which are the running surfaces on which the upper pulley 140 and the lower pulley 142 abut. By providing the ribs 148a and 150a for preventing the wheel release at least at the edges of the upper rail 148 and the lower rail 150, it is possible to prevent the center pulley 144 from falling off not only by the upper pulley 140 but also the lower pulley 142.

Fig. 8 is a view showing the elevation of the accommodating portions 122a and 122b. In Fig. 8(a), the drawer 120 is shown in a closed state, in Fig. 8(b), the drawer 120 is shown to be pulled out substantially in half, and in Fig. 8(c), the drawer 120 is completely illustrated. The state that was pulled out (opened).

As shown in Fig. 8(a), in a state where the drawer 120 is closed, the triangular piece 136 coupled to the rear end of the arm 134 is disposed such that the upper pulley 140 is present in the front and the lower belt is present in the rear of the drawer. The wheel 142 further has a posture in which the pulley 144 is inclined at the center of the rear side thereof. The arm 134 is configured to be lowered from the rear end toward the front end.

When the drawer 120 is pulled out from the state of Fig. 8(a), the column member 126, the sliding member 128, and the claw portion 132 connected to the front plate 120a are pulled forward. Thus, finally, the lower pulley 142 is close to the bulging portion 150b, and the center pulley 144 is close to the inclined portion 152a.

As shown in Fig. 8(b), when the lower pulley 142 and the center pulley 144 are relatively directed downward by the bulging portion 150b and the inclined portion 152a, the triangular piece 136 is directed toward the arrow C1. Rotation (for the upper pulley 140, the front-rear difference between the lower pulley 142 and the center pulley 144 is gradually reduced), the arm 134 is rotated in the direction of the arrow C1, and the front end of the arm 134 is raised. The front end of the arm 134 is rotatably connected to the shaft 128c of the sliding member 128 via the latch mechanism 130 (the claw portion 132) (see FIGS. 5(a) and (b)). Thereby, even if the arm 134 is rotated and the front end is raised, the upper and lower rollers 128a and 128b of the sliding member 128 can be moved up and down (walking), and the accommodating portions 122a and 122b can be raised straight.

As shown in Fig. 8(c), until the drawer 120 is completely pulled out, the triangular piece 136 is rotated until the front and rear pulleys 142 have almost zero difference with respect to the upper pulley 140, and the arm 134 is oriented from the rear end. The front end turns in a substantially horizontal manner. In this way, since the user pulls out the drawer 120, the storage portions 122a and 122b can be raised, and the articles accommodated in these can be easily taken out, so that the usability can be improved.

Further, when the drawer 120 is pushed in, the accommodating portions 122a and 122b are lowered by the reverse operation. In other words, the state shown in Fig. 8(c) is in the state shown in Fig. 8(b), and finally returns to the state shown in Fig. 8(a), and the drawer 120 is closed.

As described above, in the storage compartment 114 of the first embodiment described above, by the setting of the rail member 146 and the pulley, the arm 134 is rotated as the drawer 120 is pulled out, and the storage portions 122a and 122b are moved up and down. As a result, in the case where the arm 134 is moved in parallel in the vertical direction as in Patent Document 1, the accommodating portions 122a and 122b are lifted and lowered, and the continuous operation (elevating operation) can be smoothly performed, and the movement of the accommodating portions 122a and 122b can be suppressed.

Further, since the lifting operation can be smoothly performed, the lifting operation of the accommodating portions 122a and 122b of the amount of movement of the drawer 120 can be steep. From this, it can be seen that the accommodating portions 122a and 122b can be raised at an early point when they are slightly exposed, and can be raised to the apex with a small amount of drawing. In this way, the smooth movement and the early rise can be achieved.

Further, by rotating the arm 134 to raise and lower the accommodating portions 122a and 122b, the accommodating portions 122a and 122b can be moved up and down more than the pulleys (the lower pulley 142 and the center pulley 144). Therefore, the upper and lower widths of the rail member 146 can be reduced, and the problem of the layout configuration caused by the conventional specifications can be solved.

In addition, in the above, the upper pulley 140, the lower pulley 142, the center pulley 144, and the like are provided, but the two pulleys that can be separated in the front-rear direction in a state where the drawer 120 is closed may be provided. That is, since the drawer 120 changes the positional relationship between the upper and lower sides of the two pulleys that are separated in the front-rear direction as being pulled out, the arm 134 (the triangular piece 136) can be rotated. However, as described above, since the load applied to each of the pulleys is reduced by setting the three pulleys, the storage portions 122a and 122b can be optimally moved up and down.

Further, the storage 114 of the first embodiment has a bilaterally symmetrical configuration, and the column The element 126, the sliding member 128 (shaft 128c), the claw portion 132, the arm 134, the triangular piece 136, the upper pulley 140, the lower pulley 142, the center pulley 144, and the rail member 146 are respectively provided with left and right sides.

[Second Embodiment]

Fig. 9 is a plan view showing the accommodating portions 122a and 122b of the storage container according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the Fig. 9(a), the drawer 120 is shown in a closed state, and in Fig. 9(b), the state in which the drawer 120 is pulled out substantially half is illustrated, and in the Fig. 9(c), the drawer 120 is illustrated. It is a state of being completely pulled out (opened).

The difference between the storage 114 of the first embodiment and the storage of the second embodiment is the triangular piece 236 (the upper pulley 240, the lower pulley 242, the center pulley 244) and the rail member 246 (the center rail 252). In the second embodiment, in the triangular piece 236, the center pulley 244 is disposed at the forefront. In other words, the upper pulley 240 and the lower pulley 242 are disposed to be separated rearward from the center pulley 244 in the front-rear direction.

On the upper surface of the rail member 246, an upper rail 148 extending substantially horizontally in the same manner as in the first embodiment is provided. A lower rail 150 having a bulging portion 150b is also provided on the lower surface of the rail member 246 as in the first embodiment. However, the inclined portion 252a of the center rail 252 formed at the center of the base portion is set to rise from the rear of the storage compartment toward the front.

As shown in Fig. 9(a), in the state in which the drawer 120 is closed, the triangular piece 236 coupled to the rear end of the arm 134 has the center pulley 244 in front and the upper pulley 240 on the rear side thereof. Rear lower pulley 242 The existing posture is inclined. The arm 134 is configured to be lowered from the rear end toward the front end.

As shown in Fig. 9(b), when the center pulley 244 is close to the inclined portion 252a, the center portion of the inclined portion 252a is gradually guided upward. Further, when the lower pulley 242 is close to the bulging portion 150b, the bulging portion 150b is gradually guided downward. That is, with respect to the center pulley 244, the upper pulley 240 and the lower pulley 242 are relatively directed downward. Thereby, the triangular piece 236 is rotated in the direction of the arrow C1, and the arm 134 can be rotated until it is substantially horizontal (refer to Fig. 9 (c)). As described above, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be achieved by the configuration in which the center pulley 244 in the front is guided upward.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to such an example. As long as it is in the industry, it is to be understood that various modifications and alterations are conceivable within the scope of the patent application, and those of course are also within the scope of the invention.
