Description

  The present invention relates to a cabinet that houses electrical equipment.

An electric device may be incorporated in a cabinet installed in the kitchen (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
An electric device such as a dishwasher or a microwave oven has a front leg and a rear leg (hereinafter referred to as a front leg and a rear leg).

The cabinet and the electric device described in Patent Document 1 are each provided with a kick. Both the front legs and the rear legs of the electrical equipment are placed on the floor. When the depth of the kick of the electric device is longer than the depth of the kick of the cabinet, a kick cover that covers the kick of the electric device is attached to the cabinet.
By the way, when the electric device in which the kick is not provided is incorporated in the cabinet described in Patent Document 1, since only the portion in which the electric device is incorporated does not have the kick, there is a risk that the sense of unity in design may be impaired.

  The cabinet described in Patent Literature 2 is provided with a kick surrounded by a kick plate and a bottom plate arranged on the upper side of the kick plate. Both the front legs and the rear legs of the electrical equipment are placed on the bottom plate of the cabinet. Therefore, even if an electric device that is not provided with a kick-in is incorporated in the cabinet described in Patent Document 2, a design problem does not occur.

JP 7-265241 A Japanese Patent No. 5334833

However, in the case of the cabinet described in Patent Document 2, since the upper surface of the bottom plate is arranged at a position higher than the kick plate, it is not possible to accommodate a tall electric device. In other words, since the arrangement position of the upper surface of the bottom plate (hereinafter referred to as the height of the bottom plate) is high, it is not possible to ensure a sufficient storage space for the electrical equipment.
If the height of the kick plate is lowered, the height of the bottom plate is lowered, so that the accommodation space for the electric device can be increased. However, since the height of the kick is lowered by the amount that the height of the kick plate is lowered, for example, when a kick is provided in an adjacent cabinet, there is a possibility that the sense of unity in design may be impaired.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a main object thereof is to provide a cabinet capable of increasing the accommodation space without sacrificing the height of the kick-in.

  The cabinet according to the present invention is a cabinet including a bottom plate and a kick plate, wherein the kick plate is disposed on a front side of the bottom plate, and an upper end surface is located below an upper surface of the bottom plate, and the bottom plate It has a thinner plate shape, one surface is arranged flush with the upper surface on the front side of the bottom plate and on the upper side of the kick plate, and the front end portion of the one surface is located on the front side of the kick plate. A bottom plate extension is provided.

  The cabinet according to the present invention further includes two side plates facing in the left-right direction, the bottom plate is disposed between the two side plates, and the bottom plate extension is a flat bottom plate extension having the one surface. A side plate attaching portion attached to the side plate, and a bottom plate attaching portion attached to the bottom plate.

  In the cabinet according to the present invention, the bottom plate extension is formed by bending one metal flat plate member, and has the two side plate attachment portions attached to the two side plates. The bottom plate extension portion has a flat plate shape that rises from both the left and right end portions, and the bottom plate mounting portion includes a flat plate-like hanging portion that hangs from the rear end portion of the bottom plate extension portion along the front end surface of the bottom plate, and the drooping portion. A flat plate-like protruding portion that protrudes rearward from the lower end of the bottom plate along the bottom surface of the bottom plate and is attached to the bottom plate.

  The cabinet according to the present invention accommodates an electric device having a plurality of legs spaced apart in the front-rear direction, and front and rear legs of the electric device are placed on the one surface and the upper surface of the bottom plate. It is characterized by being placed.

  In the present invention, since the bottom plate is disposed on the rear side of the kick plate, the upper surface of the bottom plate can be disposed at a position lower than the conventional bottom plate disposed on the upper side of the kick plate. That is, the height of the bottom plate can be made lower than before without lowering the height of the kick plate (and hence the height of the kick).

However, in this case, since the bottom plate cannot be extended to the front side of the kick plate, a bottom plate extension tool is provided.
The bottom plate extension has a plate shape thinner than the bottom plate. One surface of the bottom plate extension is arranged flush with the top surface of the bottom plate on the front side of the bottom plate and above the kick plate. Further, the front end portion of one surface of the bottom plate extension is located on the front side of the kick plate. As a result, the area of the upper surface of the bottom plate and the one surface of the bottom plate extension can be made the same area as the upper surface of the conventional bottom plate.

In the present invention, the bottom plate extension is attached to the side plate and the bottom plate via the side plate attachment portion and the bottom plate attachment portion. Therefore, dropping of the bottom plate extension tool can be suppressed.
The bottom plate extension cannot be attached to the kick plate. Accordingly, the bottom plate extension can be first attached to the side plate and the bottom plate, and the kick plate can be fitted between the bottom plate extension and the floor later. When assembling the cabinet in such a procedure, the bottom plate extension can be easily attached to the side plate and the bottom plate as compared with the case where the kick plate is first arranged.

In the present invention, since the bottom plate extension tool is formed by bending one metal flat plate member, it is easy to manufacture the bottom plate extension tool. Moreover, even if the bottom plate extension tool formed by bending the metal flat plate member is thinner than the bottom plate, sufficient mechanical strength can be obtained.
Since the bottom plate extension is attached to the two side plates, the bottom plate extension can be prevented from falling off compared to the case where the bottom plate extension is attached to one of the side plates.

  In the present invention, the one surface of the bottom plate extension and the top surface of the bottom plate can support the front legs and the rear legs of the electric device from the lower side.

In the case of the cabinet of the present invention, the height of the bottom plate can be made lower than before. Therefore, the storage space in the height direction of the cabinet can be increased.
Moreover, there is no need to sacrifice the height of the kick in order to make the bottom plate lower than before. Therefore, for example, even when a kick is provided in an adjacent cabinet, there is no possibility that the sense of unity in design will be impaired.
The portion where the bottom plate does not exist on the front side of the kick plate can be supplemented with a bottom plate extension tool.

When the drawer is accommodated in the cooking table 11, the upper end portion of the front plate of the drawer comes into contact with the door stopper 24 via a packing member (not shown). The drawer and the electric device 4 accommodated in the cooking table 11 close the open part of the front part of the cooking table 11.

The stove table 12 is adjacent to the left side of the cooking table 11. The stove table 12 includes two side plates 121 and 121 facing in the left-right direction, a back plate 122 and a bottom plate 123 arranged between the side plates 121 and 121, and the like. The stove table 12 is open at the front and top.
The stove stand 12 accommodates two drawers that are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction, a built-in type stove with a grill that is disposed between the two drawers, and a drawer that is disposed below these drawers. (Each not shown). The drawer and the stove with grill accommodated in the stove base 12 close the open part of the front part of the stove base 12.

At the front lower corner of each side plate 121, a notch-like portion for providing a kick R in the kitchen cabinet 1 is provided. The shape of the notch and the dimensions in the up and down direction are the same as the notch of the side plate 21.
The height of the bottom plate 123 is the same as the height of the upper side portion of the notched portion of the side plate 121. The arrangement position of the front end surface of the bottom plate 123 in the front-rear direction is the same as the cut-out portion of the side plate 121.

The sink table 13 is adjacent to the right side of the cooking table 11. The sink base 13 includes two side plates 131 and 131 facing in the left-right direction, a back plate 132 and a bottom plate 133 disposed between the side plates 131 and 131, and the like. The sink base 13 is open at the front and top.
The sink 13 accommodates an unillustrated drawer. The drawer accommodated in the sink table 13 closes the open part of the front part of the sink table 13.

At the lower front corner of each side plate 131, a notch-shaped portion for providing a kick R in the kitchen cabinet 1 is provided. The shape of the notch and the dimensions in the up and down direction are the same as the notch of the side plate 21.
The height of the bottom plate 123 is the same as the height of the upper side portion of the notched portion of the side plate 121. The arrangement position of the front end surface of the bottom plate 123 in the front-rear direction is the same as the cut-out portion of the side plate 121.

  The kitchen cabinet 1 may include a single side plate common to the cooking table 11 and the stove table 12 instead of the left side plate 21 and the right side plate 121. The right side plate 21 and the left side plate may be provided. Instead of 131, a common side plate may be provided for the cooking table 11 and the sink table 13.

The worktop of the kitchen cabinet 1 is shared by the cooking table 11, the stove table 12, and the sink table 13. The upper open portions of the cooking table 11, the stove table 12, and the sink table 13 are closed by the work top.
The kick plate 14 is shared by the cooking table 11, the stove table 12, and the sink table 13. The kick plate 14 is a flat plate-like member that is long in the left-right direction, and is arranged across the notches of the side plates 21 and 21, the side plates 121 and 121, and the side plates 131 and 131. The length of the kick plate 14 in the left-right direction is the same as the length from the left side plate 21 to the right side plate 131.

The lower end surface of the kick plate 14 is in contact with the floor F. The height of the kick plate 14 is substantially the same as the height of the cutout portion of the side plate 21, but is shorter than the height of the cutout portion of the side plate 21 in order to absorb the unevenness of the floor F. . In the present embodiment, the difference between the height of the kick plate 14 and the height of the notched portion of the side plate 21 is about 3 mm.
The rear surface of the kick plate 14 is in contact with the rear side portions of the notches of the side plates 21 and 21, the side plates 121 and 121, and the side plates 131 and 131.

  Further, in the cooking table 11, the rear surface of the kick plate 14 is disposed facing the bottom plate 23 with an appropriate distance. That is, the bottom plate 23 is disposed on the rear side of the kick plate 14, and a gap is provided between the bottom plate 23 and the kick plate 14. The length of this gap in the front-rear direction is about 3 mm. The kick plate 14 is disposed on the front side of the bottom plate 23, and the upper end surface is located below the upper surface of the bottom plate 23.

On the other hand, in the stove table 12 and the sink table 13, the rear surface of the kick plate 14 is in contact with the front end surfaces of the bottom plates 123 and 133. That is, each of the bottom plates 123 and 133 is disposed on the rear side of the kick plate 14, and no useless gap is provided between the bottom plates 123 and 133 and the kick plate 14. The kick R in the stove table 12 (and the sink table 13) is surrounded by the kick plate 14 and the bottom plate of the drawer accommodated in the stove table 12 (and the sink table 13).
Each of the bottom plates 123 and 133 may be disposed above the kick plate 14. In this case, the front and rear arrangement positions of the front end portions of the bottom plates 123 and 133 may be on the front side of the kick plate 14. At this time, the kick R in the stove table 12 and the sink table 13 is surrounded by the kick plate 14 and the bottom plates 123 and 133.

  The thickness of the kick plate 14 is shorter than the length in the front-rear direction of the cutout portion of the side plate 21. Accordingly, the position of the front surface of the kick plate 14 in the front-rear direction is behind the front end of the side plate 21.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bottom plate extension 3 includes a bottom plate extension portion 31, two side plate attachment portions 32, 32, and a bottom plate attachment portion 33.
The bottom plate extension 3 is formed by bending a single metal flat plate member (for example, an iron plate) (not shown). The thickness of this flat metal member is about 3 mm. That is, the thickness of each part of the bottom plate extension 3 is about 3 mm, which is thinner than the bottom plate 23.

The bottom plate extension 31 has a flat plate shape that is long in the left-right direction and faces in the up-down direction. The bottom plate extension 31 is disposed on the front side of the bottom plate 23 and on the upper side of the kick plate 14. The upper surface of the bottom plate extension 31 is flush with the upper surface of the bottom plate 23. The rear end portion of the bottom plate extension 31 is in contact with the front end surface of the bottom plate 23. The arrangement position of the front end portion of the bottom plate extension 31 in the front-rear direction is the same as the front end portion of the side plate 21 (that is, the front side of the front surface of the kick plate 14).
The kick R in the cooking table 11 is surrounded by the kick plate 14 and the bottom plate extension 31.
The lower surface of the bottom plate extension 31 may be in contact with the upper end surface of the kick plate 14, but there is no particular problem even if it is separated from the upper end surface of the kick plate 14.
The front end of the bottom plate extension 31 may be subjected to curl bending. In this case, the mechanical strength of the bottom plate extension 31 is improved.

The side plate attachment portions 32, 32 each have a rectangular flat plate shape and face in the left-right direction. The side plate attachment portions 32, 32 rise from the left and right end portions of the bottom plate extension portion 31. Two through holes 321 and 321 are juxtaposed in the front-rear direction in each side plate attachment portion 32. The side plate attachment portion 32 is screwed to the side plate 21 using screws B and B inserted through the through holes 321 and 321. The arrangement position of the side plate attachment portion 32 with respect to the side plate 21 is on the upper side of the notch-shaped portion of the side plate 21.
The number of through holes 321 may be one or three or more.

The bottom plate attachment portion 33 has a hanging portion 331 and a protruding portion 332.
The hanging portion 331 has a rectangular flat plate shape and faces in the front-rear direction. The suspended portion 331 is suspended from the rear end portion of the bottom plate extension 31, and the front surface and the rear surface of the suspended portion 331 are in contact with the rear surface of the kick plate 14 and the front end surface of the bottom plate 23.
The protruding portion 332 has a rectangular flat plate shape and faces in the vertical direction. The protruding portion 332 protrudes rearward from the lower end portion of the hanging portion 331 and is in contact with the lower surface of the bottom plate 23. Three through holes 333, 333,... Are juxtaposed in the left-right direction in the protruding portion 332. The protruding portion 332 is screwed to the lower surface front end portion of the bottom plate 23 using screws B, B,... Inserted through the through holes 333, 333,.
The number of through holes 333 is not limited to three. Moreover, the through holes 333, 333,... Are not limited to a configuration in which the through holes 333, 333,.

The bottom plate extension 3 is attached to the side plates 21 and 21 and the bottom plate 23 of the cooking table 11 before the kick plate 14 is attached to the cooking table 11, the stove table 12, and the sink table 13. Although the bottom plate extension tool 3 is not attached to the kick plate 14, it is attached to the side plates 21 and 21 and the bottom plate 23, so there is no possibility of dropping off. In particular, when the bottom plate extension 31 is in contact with the kick plate 14, the bottom plate extension 3 is supported from the lower side by the kick plate 14, so that the drop of the bottom plate extension 3 is further reliably suppressed.
If the kick plate 14 is attached first, the attachment of the bottom plate extension 3 to the bottom plate 23 becomes impossible.

As shown in FIG. 2, the electric device 4 includes a housing 40, and two front legs 41 and 41 and rear legs 42 and 42 that support the housing 40. The electric device 4 is, for example, a dishwasher. The electrical device 4 is not provided with the kick R.
The front legs 41 and 41 are placed on the upper surface of the bottom plate extension 31.
The rear legs 42 and 42 are placed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 23.

  In the case of the kitchen cabinet 1 as described above, the height of the kick R provided in the cooking table 11 is the same as the height of the kick R provided in the stove table 12 and the sink table 13, respectively. It is possible to accommodate the electric device 4 that is not provided with the kick R without impairing the unity of the design.

The height of each of the bottom plate 23 and the bottom plate extension 31 is about several mm higher than the height of the kick plate 14.
That is, by arranging the bottom plate 23 on the rear side of the kick plate 14, the height of the upper surface of the bottom plate 23 can be appropriately reduced. As a result, the storage space in the height direction of the cooking table 11 can be increased.

The bottom plate 23 does not exist on the upper side and the front side of the kick plate 14. However, the bottom plate extension 31 performs the same function as when the bottom plate 23 exists on the upper side and the front side of the kick plate 14. Therefore, as in the case where the bottom plate 23 exists on the upper side and the front side of the kick plate 14, a space for placing the article (specifically, the front legs 41, 41) can be secured.
Although the bottom plate extension 31 is thinner than the bottom plate 23, the bottom plate extension 31 has a mechanical strength that is sufficiently high to withstand the placement of the front legs 41, 41 because the metal plate member is bent.

  If the bottom plate 23 is disposed on the upper side of the kick plate 14, the length of the bottom plate 23 in the front-rear direction can be extended to the foremost end of the side plate 21, so the bottom plate extension 3 is not necessary. However, since the height of the bottom plate 23 is higher than the height of the kick plate 14 by 1 cm or more, the accommodation space in the height direction of the cooking table 11 is narrowed. As a result, the size of the electric device that can be accommodated in the cooking table 11 is smaller than that of the electric device 4.

  In order to solve this problem, if the height of the bottom plate 23 is lowered by partially notching the upper side portion of the kick plate 14 disposed between the side plates 21 and 21, the electric appliance 4 is accommodated in the cooking table 11. It is possible to do. However, since the height of the kick R provided on the cooking table 11 is lower than the kick R provided on the stove table 12 and the sink table 13, respectively, the sense of unity in design is impaired.

The bottom plate extension 3 includes a left side plate attachment portion 32, a left part having a left half of each of the bottom plate extension portion 31 and the bottom plate attachment portion 33, a right side plate attachment portion 32, and a bottom plate extension portion 31 and You may divide into the right side part which has the right half of each baseplate attaching part 33. FIG. In this case, even if the distance between the side plates 21 and 21 is extended after the bottom plate extension tool 3 is manufactured, the bottom plate extension tool 3 can be used by separating the left side part and the right side part.
However, the configuration in which the side plate attachment portions 32, 32 are attached to the left and right side plates 21, 21 as in the present embodiment more reliably suppresses the dropout or displacement of the bottom plate extension 3. be able to.

The bottom plate extension 3 is not limited to the configuration attached to all of the side plates 21, 21 and the bottom plate 23, and may be attached to the kick plate 14.
The bottom plate extension tool 3 may be manufactured by a method other than the bending of a metal flat plate member. However, the bending of the metal flat plate member is simple, and if the metal flat plate members having different dimensions are prepared, the bottom plate extensions 3, 3,... Having different dimensions can be easily manufactured.
The number of legs of the electric device 4 may be three or less, or five or more. Moreover, the electric equipment 4 does not need to have a leg part. The electric device 4 accommodated in the cooking table 11 may be in non-contact with the bottom plate extension 3. Other than the drawer and the electric device 4 may be accommodated in the cooking table 11.

The embodiment disclosed this time is to be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is not intended to include the above-described meanings, but is intended to include meanings equivalent to the claims and all modifications within the scope of the claims.
Moreover, as long as there exists an effect of this invention, the component which is not disclosed by embodiment may be contained in the cooking table 11. FIG.
