[0037] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This application provides a kitchen appliance including a cabinet 100 and a retractable seat 200. The cabinet 100 is provided with a receiving space 110 for accommodating the retractable seat 200. By providing the receiving space 110 in the cabinet 100, the space of the cabinet 100 is fully utilized, so that the retractable seat 200 can be hidden inside the cabinet 100 and does not occupy kitchen space when not in use.

[0038] The telescopic seat 200 includes a hinge seat 210, a seat cushion 220, and a linkage assembly 230. The linkage assembly 230 includes a first link 231, a second link 232, and a third link 233. One end of the first link 231 is hinged to the hinge seat 210, the other end of the first link 231 is hinged to one end of the second link 232, the other end of the second link 232 is hinged to one end of the third link 233, and the other end of the third link 233 is connected to the seat cushion 220.

[0039] Specifically, the hinge seat 210 and the seat cushion 220 are connected by a linkage assembly 230. The linkage assembly 230 includes a first link 231, a second link 232 and a third link 233 that are hinged in sequence. One end of the first link 231 is hinged to the hinge seat 210, and the seat cushion 220 is connected to the third link 233. By rotating the first link 231, the second link 232 and the third link 233, the seat cushion 220 can be folded and unfolded. When not in use, the seat can be retracted to reduce space occupation, which is especially suitable for kitchen environments with limited space. The linkage assembly 230 can completely store the telescopic seat 200 in the cabinet 100.

[0040] The hinged seat 210 is hinged to the first link 231, the first link 231 is hinged to the second link 232, and the second link 232 is hinged to the third link 233, so that the seat cushion 220 can be displaced in the swing direction of the first link 231, the swing direction of the second link 232, and the swing direction of the third link 233, thereby increasing the position adjustment range of the seat cushion 220.

[0041] When the user sits on the seat cushion 220, their feet can be supported on the ground, allowing the seat cushion 220 to move forward, backward, left, and right to adjust the user's position relative to the cabinet 100 and meet the user's needs when working in the kitchen.

[0042] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The hinge base 210 is used for fixed installation on the wall 300. The hinge base 210 is provided with mounting holes 211 for connecting with the wall 300. There can be multiple mounting holes 211, which are distributed in different positions of the hinge base 210 to ensure that the hinge base 210 can be firmly installed on the wall 300.

[0043] The hinge seat 210 is provided with a first fixed shaft 212, and the two ends of the second connecting rod 232 are respectively provided with a second fixed shaft 232a and a third fixed shaft 232b. The two ends of the first connecting rod 231 are respectively sleeved on the first fixed shaft 212 and the second fixed shaft 232a, and the end of the third connecting rod 233 away from the seat cushion 220 is sleeved on the third fixed shaft 232b. That is, the hinge seat 210 and the first connecting rod 231 are hinged through the first fixed shaft 212, the first connecting rod 231 and the second connecting rod 232 are hinged through the second fixed shaft 232a, and the second connecting rod 232 and the third connecting rod 233 are hinged through the third fixed shaft 232b.

[0044] The axes of the first fixed shaft 212, the second fixed shaft 232a, and the third fixed shaft 232b are parallel to each other, and the axis of the first fixed shaft 212 is perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole 211, allowing the linkage assembly 230 to move as a whole in the same plane. That is, through the linkage assembly 230, the seat cushion 220 can be moved in multiple directions in the same plane perpendicular to the wall 300, providing a wide range of position adjustment for the seat cushion 220 while ensuring the stability and smoothness of the telescopic seat 200.

[0045] In this embodiment, the linkage assembly 230 further includes a first bearing 234, a second bearing 235, and a third bearing 236. The inner ring of the first bearing 234 is fitted onto the first fixed shaft 212, and the outer ring of the first bearing 234 is connected to one end of the first connecting rod 231. The inner ring of the second bearing 235 is fitted onto the second fixed shaft 232a, and the outer ring of the second bearing 235 is connected to the other end of the first connecting rod 231. The inner ring of the third bearing 236 is fitted onto the third fixed shaft 232b, and the outer ring of the third bearing 236 is connected to one end of the third connecting rod 233. Specifically, the first bearing 234 is provided between the first fixed shaft 212 and the first connecting rod 231, the second bearing 235 is provided between the second fixed shaft 232a and the second connecting rod 232, and the third bearing 236 is provided between the third fixed shaft 232b and the third connecting rod 233. The use of bearings reduces the friction between each fixed shaft and each connecting rod, making the extension and retraction of the telescopic seat 200 smoother.

[0046] The third link 233 has a fixed seat 237 at the end away from the second link 232. The fixed seat 237 has a mounting groove 237a, and the seat 220 has an insertion rod 221, which is inserted into the mounting groove 237a. The seat 220 is inserted into the fixed seat 237, so that the seat 220 can be easily installed on the third link 233, and it is also easy to remove and replace the seat 220.

[0047] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The telescopic seat 200 also includes a locking member 240, which is rotatably connected to a fixed base 237. The outer wall of the fixed base 237 has a through hole 237b communicating with the mounting groove 237a. The insert rod 221 has multiple locking grooves 221a, which are spaced apart along the length of the insert rod 221. The locking member 240 passes through the through hole 237b and locks itself in the locking groove 221a. By cooperating with the locking member 240 and the locking groove 221a, the position of the seat cushion 220 relative to the third link 233 can be adjusted to adjust the height of the seat cushion 220, thereby accommodating users of different heights.

[0048] The user can pull the locking member 240 to disengage the locking tongue from the locking groove 221a and the through hole 237b, thus unlocking the seat cushion 220. At this point, the user can lift the seat cushion 220 up or down to adjust its height. Once the position is adjusted, the user can pull the locking member 240 again to lock the locking tongue in the locking groove 221a, thus fixing the position of the seat cushion 220 and providing stable support for the user.

[0049] The locking element 240 can be a latch with a handle, which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing base 237. The latch is located on the side of the handle facing the fixing base 237. By rotating the handle, the latch can be inserted into or removed from the lock groove 221a. The lock groove 221a can be a groove or hole opened on the insertion rod 221, which matches the shape of the latch.

[0050] By cooperating with the locking element 240 and the locking groove 221a, the position of the seat cushion 220 relative to the third link 233 can be adjusted to accommodate users of different heights. Users can select the appropriate position of the locking groove 221a according to their needs to place the seat cushion 220 at the most comfortable height.

[0051] When in use, the user pulls the seat cushion 220 to unfold the linkage assembly 230, thus transforming the retractable seat 200 from its folded state to its usable state. When the retractable seat 200 is no longer needed, the user can push it back to fold the linkage assembly 230, thereby folding the retractable seat 200 away. If the seat cushion 220 of the retractable seat 200 is too high to be stored in the cabinet 100, the height of the seat cushion 220 can be adjusted by pulling the locking member 240.

[0052] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The kitchen appliance also includes a cooktop 400 and a sink 500, which are mounted on a cabinet 100. The cabinet 100 located below the sink 500 and / or below the cooktop 400 has a storage space 110. By setting the storage space 110 in different locations, the space of the cabinet 100 is fully utilized, allowing the retractable seat 200 to be hidden inside the cabinet 100 and not occupy kitchen space when not in use.

[0053] Multiple retractable seats 200 can be installed so that users can sit on the retractable seats 200 when using the sink 500 and the stove 400, reducing fatigue caused by prolonged standing during kitchen activities.

[0054] The kitchen appliance also includes a lifting mechanism 600, which is connected between the cooktop 400 and the cabinet 100 to adjust the height of the cooktop 400. By adjusting the height of the cooktop 400, it can be adapted to users of different heights, improving the ergonomic design of the kitchen.

[0055] Meanwhile, the retractable seat 200 allows users to sit down and rest at any time while working in the kitchen, reducing fatigue from standing for long periods. Furthermore, the seat cushion 220 of the retractable seat 200 is height-adjustable to accommodate stoves 400 of different heights.

[0056] Alternatively, a lifting mechanism 600 can be installed between the sink 500 and the cabinet 100 to adjust the height of the sink 500. The principle is the same as the height adjustment principle of the stove 400, and will not be described in detail here.
