Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cooking system. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses kitchen furniture that stores a plurality of cooking utensils of the same size in storage compartments arranged in a vertical direction on multiple levels. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 9-196393 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when cooking appliances of different widths are stacked one above the other when viewed from the front, the upper cooking appliance may shift widthwise relative to the lower cooking appliance, potentially causing the upper appliance to shift out of position. Furthermore, if an upper cooking appliance is stacked on top of a lower cooking appliance that is wider than the lower cooking appliance and the area of the support area supporting the upper cooking appliance is small, the support stability of the upper cooking appliance may be reduced. By aligning the widths of the doors of the upper and lower cooking appliances, a sense of stability can be achieved in appearance. However, the area of the support area between the main bodies of the cooking appliances cannot be increased. In other words, it is not easy to prevent the stacked cooking appliances from moving.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a heating and cooking system that can suppress movement of stacked cooking devices when cooking devices of different widths are stacked one above the other. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The cooking system according to the present invention includes a first cooking device, a second cooking device, and a storage unit. The first cooking device has a first upper wall and a first lower wall, and food to be cooked is carried in a first direction through a first opening. The second cooking device has at least a length in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and a second direction along the up-down direction that is shorter than the length of the first cooking device in the third direction. The storage unit has a lower portion in the third direction that corresponds to the length of the first upper wall of the first cooking device, or an upper portion in the third direction that corresponds to the length of the first lower wall of the first cooking device, and stores the second cooking device. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, even when cooking appliances of different widths are stacked one above the other, movement of the stacked cooking appliances can be suppressed. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will not be repeated.

[0010] The cooking system 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3. Fig. 1 is an external perspective view showing the cooking system 1 according to this embodiment with the first door 15 open. Fig. 2 is an external perspective view showing the cooking system 1 according to this embodiment with the second door 25 open. Specifically, both Figs. 1 and 2 show the external appearance of the cooking system 1 as viewed from above, diagonally front right. Fig. 3 is a front view showing the cooking system 1 according to this embodiment. The cooking system 1 according to this embodiment is, for example, a built-in type in which a part of the cooking system 1 is embedded in a part of the wall of a building. As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the cooking system 1 according to this embodiment includes a display device 6, a control device 8, a first cooking device 10, and a second cooking device 20.

[0011] In this embodiment, the side on which the display device 6 of the cooking system 1 is arranged is defined as the front X1, and the opposite side is defined as the rear X2. Furthermore, the left side of the cooking system 1 when viewed from the front X1 is defined as the left Y1, and the opposite side is defined as the right Y2. Furthermore, in the up-down direction Z, which is perpendicular to the front-rear direction X and the left-right direction Y of the cooking system 1, the side on which the display device 6 is arranged is defined as the top Z1, and the opposite side is defined as the bottom Z2. The rear X2 corresponds to, for example, the "first direction." The up-down direction Z corresponds to, for example, the "second direction." The left-right direction Y corresponds to, for example, the "third direction."

[0012] An example of the first cooking apparatus 10 is an oven range. The first cooking apparatus 10 has a first housing 10A. The first housing 10A is configured in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The first housing 10A has a first opening 10a, a first door 15, and a first storage chamber 16.

[0013] The first storage chamber 16 stores food to be cooked. The first storage chamber 16 has a first opening 10a at the front X1. The first opening 10a opens toward the front X1. The food to be cooked is carried into the rear X2 through the first opening 10a.

[0014] The first door 15 opens and closes the first opening 10a. The first door 15 has a shaft 15a extending along the left-right direction Y. The shaft 15a is disposed at the end of the first door 15 on the lower side Z2. The first door 15 is supported so as to be rotatable around the shaft 15a. Specifically, the first door 15 rotates in the front-rear direction X around the shaft 15a.

[0015] The second cooking device 20 is, for example, a microwave oven. In this embodiment, the second cooking device 20 has only a microwave heating mode as a cooking mode, but it may have a heating mode other than the microwave heating mode. For example, it may have a heater and a grill heating mode in which food is cooked using radiant heating.

[0016] The second cooking apparatus 20 is disposed below the first cooking apparatus 10 at a position Z2. The second cooking apparatus 20 has a second housing 20A. The second housing 20A is configured in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The second housing 20A has a second opening 20a, a second door 25, and a second storage chamber 26.

[0017] The second storage chamber 26 accommodates the movable storage section 25a. The movable storage section 25a accommodates the food to be cooked. The second storage chamber 26 has a second opening 20a at the front X1. The second opening 20a opens toward the front X1. The movable storage section 25a is carried into the rear X2 through the second opening 20a.

[0018] The second door 25 opens and closes the second opening 20a. Food to be cooked is carried into the rear X2 through the second opening 20a. The second door 25 has a movable storage section 25a and a sliding section (not shown). The movable storage section 25a is fixed to the rear side of the second door 25.

[0019] The sliding portions are fixed to the rear side surface of the second door 25, for example, on both the left and right sides of the movable storage portion 25a. The sliding portions are slidably supported on slide rails (not shown) fixed to the second storage chamber 26. This allows the second door 25 and the movable storage portion 25a to slide in the front-to-rear direction X. In other words, the movable storage portion 25a is moved in and out in the front-to-rear direction X together with the second door 25 and the sliding portions.

[0020] The display device 6 is, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The display device 6 is a single display device common to the first cooking device 10 and the second cooking device 20. The display device 6 is disposed above the first cooking device 10 at a position Z1. The display device 6 can accept both a first operation for the first cooking device 10 and a second operation for the second cooking device 20. The display device 6 displays a selection screen, an operation screen, and an indicator.

[0021] Specifically, the control device 8 includes a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The processor controls the operations of the cooking system 1 and the display device 6 by executing a computer program stored in a storage device (not shown). Specifically, the control device 8 can be realized by an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or the like.

[0022] Next, the first cooking apparatus 10 and the second cooking apparatus 20 according to this embodiment will be further described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the first cooking apparatus 10 and the second cooking apparatus 20 housed in the housing section 30, and Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the first cooking apparatus 10, the second cooking apparatus 20, and the housing section 30. Specifically, both Figures 4 and 5 show the external appearance of the cooking system 1 as viewed from above, diagonally front right.

[0023] 4 and 5, the first housing 10A is box-shaped. The first housing 10A houses a first storage chamber 16 (see FIG. 1). The first housings 10A are shaped substantially symmetrically to each other in the left-right direction Y. The first housing 10A has a first upper wall 11, a first lower wall 12, a pair of left and right first side walls 13, and a first rear wall 14.

[0024] The first upper wall 11 and the first lower wall 12 face each other in the up-down direction Z. The pair of first side walls 13 face each other in the left-right direction Y. The first rear wall 14 faces the first opening 10a (see FIG. 1 ) and intersects with the front-rear direction X. The first lower wall 12 is a general term for a portion that is placed on an installation surface such as a floor and supports the first housing 10A. Therefore, in addition to the plate member, installation portions formed by bending the lower end portions of the first side walls 13 and the first rear wall 14 can be considered to be part of the first lower wall 12. In this case, the projection area of the first housing 10A with respect to the installation surface, including the installation portions, corresponds to the first lower wall 12.

[0025] The first cooking apparatus 10 is loaded in the storage section 30 via the first lower wall 12. The first lower wall 12 has a first lower wall main body portion 121 and an edge portion 122. The first lower wall main body portion 121 intersects with the vertical direction Z. The edge portion 122 extends upward Z1 from the left and right ends and rear end of the first lower wall main body portion 121. The left and right edge portions 122 are fixed to the left and right first side walls 13, respectively, with screws b2 (see FIG. 7). The rear edge portion 122 is fixed to the first rear wall 14 with screws (not shown).

[0026] As shown in FIG. 4, the first cooking apparatus 10 has a first width w1, a first height h1, and a first depth d1. The first width w1 is the length of the first housing 10A in the left-right direction Y. Specifically, the first width w1 is the length of the first upper wall 11 in the left-right direction Y. In other words, the first width w1 is approximately equal to the length of the first lower wall main body portion 121 in the left-right direction Y. Furthermore, the first width w1 is approximately equal to the length of the first door 15 in the left-right direction Y. The first height h1 is the length of the first housing 10A in the up-down direction Z. The first depth d1 is the length of the first housing 10A in the front-rear direction X. The first depth d1 is approximately equal to the length of the first lower wall main body portion 121 in the front-rear direction X.

[0027] 4 and 5, the second housing 20A is box-shaped. The second housing 20A houses a second storage chamber 26 (see FIG. 2). The second housing 20A has a substantially bilaterally symmetrical structure. The second housing 20A has a second upper wall 21, a second lower wall 22, a pair of second side walls 23 on the left and right, and a second rear wall 24.

[0028] The second upper wall 21 and the second lower wall 22 face each other in the up-down direction Z. The pair of second side walls 23 face each other in the left-right direction Y. The second rear wall 24 faces the second opening 20a (see FIG. 2 ) and intersects with the front-rear direction X. The second lower wall 22 is a general term for a portion that is placed on an installation surface such as a floor and supports the second housing 20A. Therefore, in addition to the plate member, installation portions formed by bending the lower end portions of the second side walls 23 and the second rear wall 24 can be considered to be part of the second lower wall 22. In this case, the projection area of the second housing 20A with respect to the installation surface, including the installation portions, corresponds to the second lower wall 22.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 5, the second cooking apparatus 20 has a second width w2, a second height h2, and a second depth d2.

[0030] The second width w2 is the length of the second housing 20A in the left-right direction Y. Specifically, the second width w2 corresponds to the width of the main body of the second cooking apparatus 20, and is the length of the second upper wall 21 (second lower wall 22) in the left-right direction Y. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the second width w2 is shorter than the first width w1. The length of the second door 25 in the left-right direction Y is approximately equal to the length of the first door 15 in the left-right direction Y.

[0031] The second height h2 is the length of the second housing 20A in the up-down direction Z. The second height h2 is shorter than the first height h1.

[0032] The second depth d2 is the length of the second housing 20A in the front-rear direction X. The second depth d2 is approximately equal to the first depth d1.

[0033] Next, the cooking system 1 according to this embodiment will be further described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the cooking system 1 has a storage section 30.

[0034] The storage unit 30 stores the second cooking device 20 inside. The storage unit 30 places the first cooking device 10 on top. The storage unit 30 has a substantially symmetrical structure. The storage unit 30 has an upper part 31.

[0035] The upper portion 31 supports the first cooking apparatus 10. In this embodiment, the upper portion 31 supports the first cooking apparatus 10 via the first lower wall 12. The upper portion 31 has a generally rectangular outer shape. The upper portion 31 is a general term for the top surface area of the storage section 30. Therefore, in addition to the plate member, the bent portion formed by bending the upper end portion of the side portion 33, or the beam portion extending in the left-right direction can also be considered to be part of the upper portion 31. In this case, the entire top surface area of the storage section 30 corresponds to the upper portion 31.

[0036] The length of the upper portion 31 in the left-right direction Y is a third width w3. The third width w3 is approximately equal to the first width w1 of the first lower wall 12. In other words, the storage section 30 has an upper portion 31 with a third width w3 corresponding to the first width w1 of the first lower wall 12 of the first cooking apparatus 10. Therefore, even when the first cooking apparatus 10 and the second cooking apparatus 20, which have different widths, are stacked one above the other, the support stability of the stacked first cooking apparatus 10 is improved and the movement of the first cooking apparatus 10 can be suppressed. Specifically, if the first cooking apparatus 10 and the second cooking apparatus 20 have different widths and the first cooking apparatus 10 stacked on top is wider than the second cooking apparatus 20, the support stability may be reduced and the first cooking apparatus 10 may move. However, by matching the first width w1 of the first cooking apparatus 10 with the third width w3 of the storage section 30, the support stability is improved and the movement of the first cooking apparatus 10 relative to the second cooking apparatus 20 is suppressed. Furthermore, when the first cooking apparatus 10 and the second cooking apparatus 20, which have different widths, are stacked one above the other, the vertical balance in the width direction is visually different, which may cause the user to feel uncomfortable. However, by making the first width w1 of the first cooking apparatus 10 correspond to the third width w3 of the storage section 30, the vertical width dimension (balance) can be made uniform, improving the appearance and eliminating the feeling of discomfort to the user.

[0037] The storage unit 30 is disposed below the first cooking apparatus 10. Even if a first cooking apparatus 10 wider than the second cooking apparatus 20 is placed on top of the second cooking apparatus 20, movement of the first cooking apparatus 10 can be prevented. When a first cooking apparatus 10 wider than the second cooking apparatus 20 is placed on top of the second cooking apparatus 20, the center of gravity of the entire cooking system 1 is higher and the area of the support region for supporting the first cooking apparatus 10 is smaller than when the first cooking apparatus 10 and the second cooking apparatus 20 have the same width. This reduces the support stability of the first cooking apparatus 10. However, by matching the first width w1 of the first cooking apparatus 10 with the third width w3 of the storage unit 30, the area of the support region for the first cooking apparatus 10 relative to the storage unit 30 can be increased and the first cooking apparatus 10 can be supported from the outside. This improves the support stability of the first cooking apparatus 10 above the second cooking apparatus 20 and prevents it from moving.

[0038] The third width w3 of the storage section 30 is approximately equal to the length of the second door 25 in the left-right direction Y. In other words, the length of the second door 25 in the left-right direction Y corresponds to the third width w3 of the storage section 30. This makes it possible to prevent objects from entering through the gap between the second cooking apparatus 20 and the storage section 30. In other words, even if the second width w2 of the second cooking apparatus 20 is smaller than the third width w3 of the storage section 30, the gap between the second cooking apparatus 20 and the storage section 30 can be blocked.

[0039] The storage unit 30 according to this embodiment will be further described with reference to Figures 4 to 7. Figure 6 is a perspective view showing the lower part 32, upper beam member 41, and vertical beam member 42 of the storage unit 30. In detail, the storage unit 30 is shown as viewed from above, diagonally front right. Figure 7 is an exploded perspective view showing the first cooking apparatus 10, the side part 33 of the storage unit 30, and the connecting part 52.

[0040] As shown in Fig. 4, the length of the storage unit 30 in the up-down direction Z is a third height h3, and the length of the storage unit 30 in the front-rear direction X is a third depth d3. As shown in Fig. 5, the storage unit 30 has a lower portion 32, a side portion 33, a front portion 35, and a third opening 30a.

[0041] The third opening 30a opens toward the front X1. As shown in Fig. 5, the second cooking apparatus 20 is carried in toward the rear X2 through the third opening 30a.

[0042] The lower part 32 faces the upper part 31 in the up-down direction Z. The lower part 32 is configured to have a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view and is installed on an installation surface. The third depth d3 corresponds to the length of the lower part 32 in the front-to-rear direction X and is substantially the same as the length of the first depth d1. As shown in FIG. 6, the lower part 32 has a pair of left and right clamping parts 321, one set at the front and one set at the rear.

[0043] The pair of front clamping portions 321 face each other in the left-right direction Y. The pair of clamping portions 321 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line of the lower portion 32 in the left-right direction Y. Specifically, the pair of clamping portions 321 are each cut and raised from the main body of the lower portion 32. The pair of front clamping portions 321 are spaced apart in the left-right direction Y by a second width w2. Each of the pair of front clamping portions 321 is provided with a screw hole 321a into which a screw b1 can be inserted. The pair of rear clamping portions 321 have the same configuration as the pair of front clamping portions 321 except for their positions in the front-rear direction X.

[0044] The pair of front clamping portions 321 and the pair of rear clamping portions 321 extend upward Z1. As shown in FIG. 4, the second cooking apparatus 20, which is carried into the accommodation portion 30 through the third opening 30a (see FIG. 5), is disposed between the pair of clamping portions 321 (see FIG. 6). The pair of front clamping portions 321 and the pair of rear clamping portions 321 sandwich the pair of second side walls 23 in the left-right direction Y. As shown in FIG. 7, the clamping portions 321 are connected to the second side walls 23 (see FIG. 5) via screws b1 inserted through the screw holes 321a. That is, the pair of front clamping portions 321 are connected to the pair of second side walls 23 via the screws b1, respectively. Furthermore, the pair of rear clamping portions 321 are connected to the pair of second side walls 23 via the screws b1, respectively. This allows the second cooking apparatus 20 to be fixed to the lower portion 32 even if the second width w2 of the second cooking apparatus 20 is smaller than the third width w3 of the accommodation portion 30.

[0045] As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, a pair of side portions 33 are provided at both left and right ends of the storage section 30. The pair of side portions 33 face each other in the left-right direction Y. The pair of side portions 33 connect the upper portion 31 and the lower portion 32. When the second cooking device 20 is stored inside the storage section 30, the pair of side portions 33 face the pair of second side walls 23, respectively. As shown in FIG. 7, the side portions 33 have a main body portion 331, a front portion 332, a rear portion 333, an upper front portion 334, an upper rear portion 335, and a cutout portion 336.

[0046] The main body 331 faces the second side wall 23 in the left-right direction Y. The main body 331 is configured in a substantially rectangular shape. The main body 331 has a first hole 33a, a second hole 33b, and a notch 336. The first hole 33a corresponds to, for example, a "first work hole," and the second hole 33b corresponds to, for example, a "second work hole."

[0047] The first hole 33a is a hole for the connecting operation. The first hole 33a faces the clamping portion 321 in the left-right direction Y. Therefore, a pair of first holes 33a is provided, one at the front and one at the back. The first hole 33a is disposed at the bottom of the main body 331. This allows the connecting operation between the clamping portion 321 and the second side wall 23 to be performed. Specifically, the worker inserts a screw b1 and a screwdriver (not shown) into the interior of the accommodating portion 30 through the first hole 33a. Next, the worker operates the screwdriver from the horizontal side to connect the clamping portion 321 and the second side wall 23 with the screw b1.

[0048] The second holes 33b are holes for visual observation. The second holes 33b are arranged corresponding to the first holes 33a. Therefore, a pair of second holes 33b are provided in the front and rear. Specifically, the second holes 33b are arranged above the first holes 33a (Z1). The second holes 33b are larger than the first holes 33a. The length of the second holes 33b in the front-rear direction X is, for example, at least twice the length of the first holes 33a in the front-rear direction X. The length of the second holes 33b in the up-down direction Z is, for example, at least twice the length of the first holes 33a in the up-down direction Z. Furthermore, the length of the first holes 33a in the front-rear direction X is greater than the length of the up-down direction Z, and the length of the second holes 33b in the up-down direction Z is greater than the length of the first holes 33a in the front-rear direction X. This improves the workability of connecting the clamping portion 321 and the second side wall 23. That is, the screw b1 and the screwdriver can be operated while visually checking the screw b1 and the screwdriver that have been inserted into the accommodating portion 30 through the first hole 33a.

[0049] 7, the notch 336 is located at the upper end of the main body 331. The notch 336 cuts out the upper end of the main body 331 in a generally U-shape facing downward Z2. A rear fixing portion 337 is disposed at the rear upper end of the notch 336, and is bent toward the second side wall 23 and intersects with the front-rear direction X. Similarly, a front fixing portion (not shown) is disposed at the front upper end of the notch 336.

[0050] The front side portion 332 intersects with the front end portion of the main body portion 331 in the front-rear direction X. Specifically, the front side portion 332 is bent from the front end portion of the main body portion 331 toward the second side wall 23 and extends in the left-right direction Y. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the right front portion 35 is attached to the front portion of the right front side portion 332. Similarly, the left front portion 35 is attached to the front portion of the left front side portion 332. In this embodiment, the space between the left front portion 35 and the right front portion 35 corresponds to the third opening 30a.

[0051] 7, the rear side portion 333 intersects with the front-rear direction X at the rear end portion of the main body portion 331. Specifically, the rear side portion 333 is bent from the rear end portion of the main body portion 331 toward the second side wall 23 and extends in the left-right direction Y.

[0052] The upper front portion 334 intersects with the vertical direction Z at the upper front end portion of the main body portion 331. Specifically, the upper front portion 334 is bent from the upper front end portion of the main body portion 331 toward the second side wall 23 and extends in the left-right direction Y.

[0053] The upper rear portion 335 intersects with the vertical direction Z at the upper rear end portion of the main body portion 331. Specifically, the upper rear portion 335 is bent from the upper rear end portion of the main body portion 331 toward the second side wall 23 and extends in the left-right direction Y.

[0054] The notch 336 is formed from the rear end of the upper front side portion 334 to the front end of the upper rear side portion 335 .

[0055] The storage section 30 further includes an upper beam member 41 and a vertical beam member 42.

[0056] The upper beam member 41 connects the pair of side portions 33 in the left-right direction Y. For example, a pair of upper beam members 41 is provided, one for the front and one for the rear. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 , the pair of side portions 33 are connected by a pair of front and rear upper beam members 41. Each pair of upper beam members 41 extends in the left-right direction Y. Each pair of upper beam members 41 connects the upper end of one side portion 33 to the upper end of the other side portion 33. Specifically, the front upper beam member 41 is connected to the lower surface of the left upper front portion 334 and the lower surface of the right upper front portion 334 via screws (not shown). The rear end of the front upper beam member 41 corresponds to the rear end of the upper front portion 334. The rear upper beam member 41 is connected to the lower surface of the left upper rear portion 335 and the lower surface of the right upper rear portion 335 via screws (not shown). The front end of the rear upper beam member 41 corresponds to the front end of the upper rear side portion 335 .

[0057] As shown in Fig. 6, the vertical beam members 42 connect the upper portion 31 and the lower portion 32 along the side portions 33. This increases the support strength of the first cooking apparatus 10, which is wider than the second cooking apparatus 20. In other words, the first cooking apparatus 10 is held by the upper beam members 41 extending in the left-right direction Y, and is supported by the lower portion 32 via the vertical beam members 42. As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, two sets of vertical beam members 42 are provided, for example, one pair of left and right members on the front side and one pair of left and right members on the rear side.
