Problems solved by technology

Once a foreign object is caught, the above-mentioned lifting mechanism will be locked and unable to operate, or overload (overcurrent)
[0007]The storage racks loaded with heavy tableware and cooking utensils sometimes exceed 100kg. its recovery
In addition, for the consideration of preventing droplets of water flow and preventing insects, when the above-mentioned storage rack is lowered to the storage position, that is, the lower limit position, the gap between the counter surface near the opening for lifting and lowering and the storage rack is narrow. When the storage rack is almost completely lowered to the lower limit position, tools or operator's hands cannot enter, which may make the recovery itself difficult

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0036] figure 1 It is the kitchen base cabinet 1 which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. (a) is a perspective view of the draining rack (storage rack) 2 in the lowered position (when not in use) D, and (b) is a perspective view of the draining rack 2 in the raised position (in use) U. figure 1 The base cabinet 1 exemplifies an open face-to-face kitchen without a wall between the kitchen and the dining room, however, the present invention can also be implemented in kitchens other than the open face-to-face kitchen.

[0037] A sink 3 is arranged on the right side of the counter of the above-mentioned base cabinet 1 , and a storage rack, that is, a draining rack 2 , is arranged at the rear position of the sink 3 . In addition, the drain rack 2 can also be arranged at the side of the water tank 3 . A stove 4 is arranged on the left side of the counter of the above-mentioned base cabinet 1 . Here, the expression of the left-right or front-back direction refers to t...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0085] Figure 12 It is a block diagram showing the circuit structure of the sensing part related to the lifting and lowering of the drain rack 2 in the control box 40' of the kitchen base cabinet in another embodiment of the present invention. The structure of the kitchen base cabinet in this embodiment can adopt the structure of the above-mentioned kitchen base cabinet 1 , and it should be noted that the methods for determining foreign objects are different. This control box 40' replaces the aforementioned control box 40, and can realize the following functions.

[0086] In the base cabinet of this embodiment, as the sensor related to the lifting of the draining rack 2, in addition to the above-mentioned static detection sensor 38 and piezoelectric sensor 39, a sliding resistor 45 and a photointerrupter for detecting the lifting position of the draining rack 2 are also provided. 46 (Photo Interrupter). An arithmetic processing circuit 50 composed of a microcomputer or the ...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0103] Figure 14 It is a figure which shows the change of the determination threshold value of the kitchen base cabinet which concerns on another embodiment of this invention. In the kitchen floor cabinet of the present embodiment, the above-mentioned Figure 12 Only a part of the structure and operation of the correction unit 50d and the storage unit 50c of the calculation processing circuit 50 are different. Figure 14 A diagram with the above Figure 13 The graphs shown correspond to . It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the storage unit 50c stores the default value of the change mode shown by the reference symbol α1, and as shown by the reference symbol α1", the lifting range of the drain rack 2 is divided into a plurality of intervals, The determination threshold indicated by the above-mentioned reference symbol α1' is stored as a maximum value or an average value of each section.

[0104] When at the stop position, the correction unit 50d modifies the judgm...

Abstract

The invention relates to a lifting-type storage device having a draining rack (storage rack) (2) provided in an opening (5) for lifting formed in a part of a counter of a floor cabinet (1) for kitchen, and having a lifting mechanism (6) for lowering the draining rack (2) to a storage space (14) below the counter and lifting the draining rack (2) above the counter. The lifting-type storage device has foreign object detection units (38, 39) for detecting that a foreign object is present in the vicinity of the opening (5) for lifting, and has a foreign object detection stop unit (control box) (40) for stopping lifting and lowering operation of the draining rack (2) when the foreign object detection units (38, 39) detect a foreign object. The construction prevents a failure occurring when the lifting mechanism (6) locks to be in an inoperable state or when a foreign object is caught to cause overloading (overcurrent) and other trouble.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a lifting storage device, which is arranged in a kitchen base cabinet suitable for use as a so-called open face-to-face kitchen. Background technique [0002] The kitchen floor cabinet is usually provided with a storage part under the counter. Therefore, the operator needs to temporarily interrupt the cooking operation when taking and placing items such as plates, pots, seasonings, etc., and take and place items from the storage part in a bent posture. For this reason, there is a storage part set in the hanging cabinet above the floor cabinet, so that the technology of pulling down the storage part when taking and placing articles (referring to patent documents 1, 2). [0003] However, if the above-mentioned hanging cabinet is set in the above-mentioned open face-to-face kitchen without a wall between the kitchen and the dining room, the intentionally created sense of openness will be destroyed. Difficult to apply. In...
