Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen furniture, in particular to a kitchen storage cabinet system. Background Art

[0002] As users’ diversified cooking needs increase, more and more kitchen appliances are added to the kitchen, including large kitchen appliances such as steam ovens and small kitchen appliances such as rice cookers and electric baking pans, which has also led to the kitchen space becoming more and more crowded and messy. The above-mentioned small kitchen appliances are usually placed in kitchen storage cabinets (such as cabinets, wall cabinets, etc.), but as the number of small kitchen appliances increases, the placement of kitchen appliances in the storage cabinets is relatively messy, and the items are squeezed and piled up on each other. For this reason, there are also storage cabinets with as many storage compartments as possible to place the above-mentioned kitchen appliances, such as the Chinese utility model patent application with application number CN202123100921.X (authorization announcement number: CN216627902U) disclosed in "A kitchen storage cabinet with quick pick-and-place function".

[0003] However, the solution of the above patent application does not fundamentally solve the storage problem. As the trend of kitchen electrification becomes more and more obvious, a wide variety of small kitchen appliances have emerged like a blowout. The limited kitchen worktops are constantly being squeezed, the cooking operation space is limited, and the full appliances make the kitchen countertops no longer beautiful. If you need to move the kitchen appliances from the storage location to the countertop every time you cook, and put them back in place after use, it will consume a lot of time and energy. Especially in the busy cooking process, these extra actions may increase the total cooking time and cause the cook to feel tired. On the other hand, frequent moving of appliances may disrupt the cleanliness of the kitchen, and it takes time to put the appliances back in place after each use, which may increase the workload of cleaning and tidying up the kitchen. Therefore, how to provide a kitchen storage cabinet that can facilitate the use of kitchen appliances and effectively solve the problem of kitchen appliance storage has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this technical field. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a kitchen storage cabinet that can facilitate the use of kitchen appliances and effectively solve the problem of storing kitchen appliances in response to the current status of the existing technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a kitchen storage cabinet system, comprising:

[0006] The storage cabinet body includes a storage cavity, and cooking utensils can be placed in and removed from the storage cavity;

[0007] It also includes an oil fume suction device. An air inlet duct connected to the oil fume suction device is defined in the storage cabinet body. The air inlet duct is connected to the storage chamber to absorb and exhaust the smoke generated by the cooking utensils placed in the storage chamber during the cooking process.

[0008] To accommodate various cabinets, the range hood system includes a fan system, which can be installed externally or concealed within the cabinet body. Installing the fan system externally, such as a ceiling fan, eliminates the need for internal cabinet space. Concealing the fan system within the cabinet body ensures an aesthetically pleasing kitchen environment, similar to existing range hood systems, which are also concealed within the cabinet.

[0009] A range hood is generally provided in the kitchen. In order to reduce the number of fans and provide more storage space, the fan system is shared with the fan device of the range hood in the kitchen.

[0010] In order to receive the oil and water generated during the cooking process, an oil receiving box for receiving the oil and water flowing down from the air inlet duct or the storage chamber is further provided at the bottom of the storage cabinet body.

[0011] As an improvement, the locker body is provided with at least one of a drawer and a cabinet, and the internal cavity of the drawer or the cabinet is the storage cavity.

[0012] Taking into account the convenience of using drawers, preferably, the storage cabinet body is provided with installation frames arranged in sequence from top to bottom, each installation frame is provided with a drawer body that can be pushed and pulled back and forth to open and close, and the air inlet duct in the storage cabinet body is connected to the inner cavity of each installation frame.

[0013] In order to adapt to the drawer bodies arranged vertically in sequence, the air inlet duct extends from top to bottom and is arranged correspondingly on the rear side of each installation frame. The air inlet duct is provided with a first air intake port in the area opposite to the top opening of each drawer body.

[0014] In order to balance the negative pressure in the locker body caused by the suction and exhaust of the oil fume extraction device, the bottom of the locker body also has a first auxiliary air inlet connected to the inner cavity of the bottommost installation frame, and a filter assembly is provided at the first auxiliary air inlet.

[0015] As an improvement, the drawer body located at the lower part of the locker body is recorded as a first drawer. The first drawer is configured as a lifting drawer that can be lifted and lowered relative to the locker body during the push-pull process. The first drawer has a first state and a second state:

[0016] In the first state, the first drawer moves out relative to the mounting frame and moves upward to a high position;

[0017] In the second state, the first drawer moves downward to a lowered position and moves into the installation frame.

[0018] As an improvement, the drawer body located at the upper part of the locker body is recorded as a second drawer. The second drawer is configured as a lifting drawer that can be lifted and lowered relative to the locker body during the push-pull process. The second drawer has a first state and a second state:

[0019] In the first state, the second drawer moves upward to a high position and moves into the installation frame.

[0020] In the second state, the second drawer moves out relative to the mounting frame and moves downward to a low position.

[0021] The storage cabinet in which cooking operations of electrical appliances can be performed can be applied not only to conventional vertical cabinets such as floor cabinets and sideboards, but also to wall cabinets. Specifically, another preferred solution is that the storage cabinet body is a wall cabinet, and the internal cavity of the wall cabinet is the storage cavity.

[0022] Generally speaking, a wall cabinet can adopt a conventional wall cabinet structure with a front door, but considering the high height of the wall cabinet and the inconvenience of opening and closing, the wall cabinet includes a cabinet body with a mounting cavity and an opening at the bottom, and a movable cabinet that can move up and down relative to the cabinet body. The movable cabinet defines a front opening for a storage compartment for placing cooking utensils. The movable cabinet can be moved downward through the bottom opening of the cabinet body to outside the cabinet body and moved upward to be accommodated in the mounting cavity of the cabinet body.

[0023] In order to facilitate the effective suction and exhaust of smoke generated by the cooking appliances in the movable cabinet, a vertically extending air inlet duct is provided on the rear side wall of the cabinet body, a second air suction port is provided on the air inlet duct, and an opening is provided on the movable cabinet that is connected to the internal space of the storage compartment. When the movable cabinet is moved up and accommodated in the installation cavity of the cabinet body, the opening of the movable cabinet is correspondingly connected to the second air suction port of the air inlet duct.

[0024] In order to balance the negative pressure in the wall cabinet caused by the suction and exhaust of the range fumes extraction device, a second auxiliary air inlet connected to the installation cavity is further provided on the front side wall of the cabinet body.

[0025] In order to increase the storage space in the wall cabinet as much as possible, the range fumes extraction device includes a fan system, and the fan system is a ceiling fan placed above the kitchen ceiling.

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention offers the following advantages: the storage chamber of the cabinet body can be used for storage, not only for daily dry goods, tableware, and other items, but also for cooking utensils. Furthermore, cooking operations can be performed directly with the utensils placed in the storage chamber. Because the fume extraction device is connected to the storage chamber of the cabinet body via an air inlet duct, it can absorb moisture, fumes, and other substances generated by cooking utensils in the storage chamber, preventing contamination and damage to the interior walls of the storage chamber. This eliminates the need for users to carry cooking utensils back and forth, keeping the kitchen countertop tidy and freeing up space for other tasks such as cutting, preparing, and washing.

However, these terms are used herein for convenience of description only and are based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be arranged in different orientations, these directional terms are intended for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting. For example, "up" and "down" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0037] Figures 1-4 A preferred embodiment of the kitchen storage cabinet system of the present invention is shown. The kitchen storage cabinet system of this embodiment is described by taking a kitchen high cabinet as an example. The kitchen high cabinet includes a storage cabinet body, and the storage cabinet body includes a plurality of cabinets 17 and a plurality of drawers. The cabinets 17 are conventional cabinet structures with single doors or double doors. Some drawers can be designed as sliding drawers that can be pushed and pulled back and forth, and some drawers can be designed as lifting drawers that can be lifted and lowered while being pushed and pulled back and forth. Specifically, the storage cabinet body of this embodiment includes a row of drawers arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The storage cabinet body is correspondingly provided with mounting grids 131 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, and each mounting grid 131 is provided with a drawer body 132 that can be pushed and pulled back and forth to open and close. As shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the locker body includes four drawers arranged in a vertical sequence. The two middle drawers are ordinary pull-out drawers, while the top and bottom drawers are lift drawers. The lift drawers can be raised and lowered using a connecting rod lift mechanism 133. The front side wall of the locker body has a corresponding escape opening for the connecting rod lift mechanism to deflect and extend forward. The connecting rod lift mechanism is prior art, and for example, the lift mechanism described in "A Liftable Drawer" in application number CN201811419745.6 can be used.

[0038] The drawer body 132 at the lower portion of the locker body is designated as a first drawer 132a, and the drawer body 132 at the upper portion of the locker body is designated as a second drawer 132b. The first drawer 132a is configured as a liftable drawer capable of rising and falling relative to the locker body during a push-pull operation. The first drawer 132a has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first drawer 132a is removed from the mounting frame 131 and moves upward to a high position. In the second state, the first drawer 132a moves downward to a low position and moves into the mounting frame 131. Similarly, the second drawer 132b is configured as a liftable drawer capable of rising and falling relative to the locker body during a push-pull operation. The second drawer 132b has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the second drawer 132b moves upward to a high position and moves into the mounting frame 131. In the second state, the second drawer 132b moves out from the mounting frame 131 and moves downward to a low position. When the first drawer 132a is raised to the first state at the high position, the user does not need to bend over to conveniently access items. Similarly, when the second drawer 132b is moved down to the second state at the low position, the user does not need to use a ladder or a stool to access items.

[0039] See also Figure 1 The fan system 20 (fan rack) of the range hood 2 in the kitchen can also be shielded and hidden by the cabinet 17 on the top of the storage cabinet, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the kitchen.

[0040] The aforementioned drawers and partial cabinets 17 can not only hold daily dry goods, tableware, and other items, but also cooking utensils. Specifically, the interior space of the drawers and partial cabinets 17 forms a storage chamber 100 for cooking utensils. The storage cabinet system also includes a fume extraction device. An air inlet duct 12 connected to the fume extraction device is defined within the cabinet body. The air inlet duct 12 communicates with the storage chamber 100 to absorb and exhaust fumes generated by cooking utensils placed within the storage chamber 100. Generally speaking, the aforementioned fan system 20 can be located outside the cabinet body or concealed within it. In this embodiment, the fan system 20 for extracting and exhausting cooking fumes from the drawers or cabinets 17 utilizes the fan unit of the range hood 2, sharing the fan unit with the range hood 2 in the kitchen.

[0041] The air inlet duct 12 within the cabinet body extends from top to bottom and is arranged correspondingly on the rear side of each mounting grid 131. The air inlet duct 12 can be formed by vertically extending partitions correspondingly arranged in relation to the rear sidewalls of the cabinet body. The air inlet duct 12 has a first air intake 121 in the area opposite the top opening of each drawer body 132. When the fan system 20 is in operation, smoke generated by cooking utensils placed in each drawer during cooking can enter the air inlet duct 12 through the first air intake 121 and ultimately be exhausted to the common flue through the range hood 2.

[0042] The bottom of the cabinet body also features a first auxiliary air inlet 11, which communicates with the inner cavity of the bottommost mounting grid 131. A filter assembly is located at this inlet 11 to purify the air entering the cabinet. The filter assembly is made of washable HEPA for easy cleaning and durability. The first auxiliary air inlet 11 balances the negative pressure within the cabinet body caused by the fume extraction device.

[0043] The bottom of the locker body is also provided with an oil collecting box 14 for collecting oil and water flowing down from the air inlet duct 12 or the storage chamber. The oil collecting box 14 can be slid back and forth at the bottom of the locker body through the corresponding slide rail assembly. Thus, the user can push and pull the oil collecting box 14 back and forth, making it convenient to take out, put in and dump the oil collecting box 14.

[0044] The drawers and cabinets 17 of the tall cabinet of this embodiment can store not only daily dry goods, tableware, and other items, but also cooking utensils. Furthermore, cooking operations can be performed directly on the cooking utensils placed in the storage chamber 100. Since the oil fume extraction device is connected to the storage chamber 100 of the cabinet body via the air inlet duct 12, it can absorb moisture, oil smoke, and other substances generated by the cooking utensils in the storage chamber 100 during cooking, thereby preventing contamination and damage to the interior walls of the drawers or cabinets 17. This eliminates the need for users to carry cooking utensils back and forth, keeping the kitchen countertop tidier and freeing up sufficient space for other operations such as cutting, preparing, and washing.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] Figure 5-Figure 8 Another preferred embodiment of the kitchen storage cabinet system of the present invention is shown. This embodiment uses a kitchen wall cabinet as an example. Wall cabinets are typically mounted against a wall, with their tops near the kitchen ceiling. The interior chamber of this embodiment of the wall cabinet serves as the storage chamber 100 of the storage cabinet body.

[0047] Generally speaking, a wall cabinet can adopt a conventional wall cabinet structure with a front door, but considering that the wall cabinet is relatively high and it is inconvenient to open and close, the wall cabinet of this embodiment includes a cabinet body 15 having a mounting cavity 150 and open at the bottom, and a movable cabinet 16 that can move up and down relative to the cabinet body 15. Specifically, the left and right sides of the movable cabinet 16 can be slidably connected to the left and right side walls of the mounting cavity 150 of the cabinet body 15 through corresponding slide rail assemblies, and driven by a driving device (which can adopt an existing linear driving mechanism, such as a structure in which a driving motor and a lead screw slider transmission assembly cooperate) to achieve lifting. Driven by the driving device, the movable cabinet 16 can be moved downward through the bottom opening of the cabinet body 15 to the outside of the cabinet body 15 and moved upward to be accommodated in the mounting cavity 150 of the cabinet body 15. After the movable cabinet 16 moves down into place, it is convenient for users to take and put items because it is open at the front.

[0048] The movable cabinet 16 defines a plurality of storage compartments with open fronts for storing cooking utensils. Specifically, the storage compartments of the movable cabinet 16 can be divided into two compartments, one wide and one narrow. The wide side can be further divided into two upper and lower storage spaces for storing short and fat utensils, such as rice cookers. The narrow side can be provided with a tall storage area and a short storage area. The tall storage area can be used to store tall appliances such as wall-breaking machines, while the short storage area can be used to store smaller appliances such as egg steamers. Of course, the bottom of the storage compartments of the movable cabinet 16 can also be provided with a sliding storage board. The storage board can be moved forward and out of the storage compartment to further facilitate user access.

[0049] See also Figure 8 The rear side wall of the cabinet body 15 is provided with a vertically extending air inlet duct 12, the air inlet duct 12 is provided with a second air inlet 122, and the movable cabinet 16 is provided with an opening 160 that is in communication with the inner space of the storage compartment. Figure 8 As shown, when movable cabinet 16 is moved upward and accommodated within mounting cavity 150 of cabinet body 15, opening 160 of movable cabinet 16 communicates with second air intake vent 122 of air inlet duct 12. When fan system 20 is in operation, smoke generated during cooking by cooking utensils placed in the storage compartments can enter air inlet duct 12 through opening 160 of movable cabinet 16 and second air intake vent 122, and ultimately be exhausted to the common flue.

[0050] Similarly, to balance the negative pressure within the wall cabinet caused by the range fumes extraction device, a second auxiliary air inlet 151 is provided on the front side wall of the cabinet body 15 of this embodiment, communicating with the mounting cavity 150. Specifically, the front side of the cabinet body 15 may be provided with a correspondingly openable door, and the second auxiliary air inlet 151 is correspondingly provided on the door.

[0051] The storage cabinet system of this embodiment further includes an oil fume extraction device, which includes a fan system 20. The fan system 20 is a ceiling fan placed above the kitchen ceiling, and the ceiling fan is connected to the air inlet duct 12 on the wall cabinet.
