Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cooking equipment, and in particular relates to an integrated refrigeration and cooking cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, steamers are widely used in convenience stores, supermarkets, and other retail outlets, primarily for steaming buns, boiling corn, and oden (Japanese stew). Because most steamers on the market are relatively low, they must be placed on a table or counter for operation. Furthermore, to ensure the freshness and storage capacity of the ingredients, stores typically need to additionally configure refrigerated display cases. Separating the steamers from the refrigerated display cases significantly occupies limited retail space, hindering efficient space utilization.

[0003] Furthermore, because the steamer and refrigerator are placed separately, operators need to frequently travel between the two devices to retrieve and add food, increasing workload and time costs, and hindering operational efficiency. Therefore, existing technology lacks a steaming device that can simultaneously heat and store food, save space, and improve operational convenience; these issues urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

The lower cabinet 1 is located at the bottom of the integrated cabinet, and the cooking component 2 is fixed to the countertop 11 at the top of the lower cabinet 1 by screws. The cooking component 2 and the countertop 11 are flush on all four sides.

[0034] The lower cabinet 1 has a refrigeration unit compartment 12 located on the left side, housing a compressor, condenser, and refrigeration control system. The storage compartment 14 is located on the right side, and can be adjusted to either refrigeration or freezing mode via the refrigeration unit. A double-leaf sliding door 13 is located at the rear of the storage compartment, hinged to the rear edge of the lower cabinet 1. Those skilled in the art can interchange the positions of the refrigeration unit compartment 12 and the storage compartment 14 according to actual needs, placing the refrigeration unit compartment 12 on the right side of the lower cabinet 1 and the storage compartment 14 on the left side. The core advantage of this layout design is that it maximizes the depth of the storage compartment 14. By offsetting the refrigeration unit compartment 12 to the left or right, the depth of the storage compartment 14 is consistent with the overall depth of the lower cabinet 1. Compared to traditional rear-mounted refrigerator-like layouts, this avoids a reduction in storage compartment depth due to a centrally located refrigeration unit compartment, effectively improving space utilization.

[0035] The countertop 11 located at the top of the lower cabinet 1 includes an upper shell 111 and a lower shell 112 that interlock with each other. The upper shell 111 has eight square holes arranged in a matrix. A base fixing plate 113 is spot-welded to the inner side of the upper shell 111 at the edge of each square hole.
