Description

  The present invention relates to a storage provided with a drawer capable of storing an object to be stored.

  In the kitchen, many storage spaces are provided to store cooking utensils, cooking materials, tableware, and the like. For this reason, a drawer or a hinged door is usually provided under the top plate (worktop in the system kitchen). In recent years, research on the usage of kitchens has progressed, and the convenience of use has been improved by devising the size of the drawer and the shape of the partition, assuming a certain amount of items to be stored in the drawer. As such an example, a stove cabinet having a stove is provided with a large drawer or a swing door for putting a pan or the like, and a base cabinet having a cooking space is provided with many shallow drawers for putting tableware or cooking utensils.

  When the storage space is provided under the top plate as described above, the drawer is inevitably at a low position. For this reason, the user puts in and out the stored items by bending down or crouching down. This may be a burden on some users, such as when standing in the kitchen for a long time, or when the body is not free due to aging.

  Therefore, conventionally, a device for facilitating loading / unloading of a stored object has been studied with respect to a drawer at a low position. Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration of a cabinet provided with a drawer lifting mechanism. Patent Document 1 is characterized in that the drawer and the cabinet body are prevented from colliding by raising and lowering only when the drawer is completely pulled out.

JP 2007-215678 A

  In the configuration disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, it is considered that it is easy to take out the stored object because the position of the drawer becomes high, but it is configured to raise the entire drawer while rotating. However, the drawer is composed of a wooden or metal front plate, a bottom plate, a side plate, and the like, and has a considerable weight even if nothing is accommodated. In addition, when various objects are stored in the drawer, the labor required to rotate the objects may be much greater than bending it. It may be possible to assist the lifting force with an air cylinder or an electric motor, but the mechanism may become complicated, leading to an increase in kitchen production costs, or the mechanism may overwhelm the storage space and cause a fall. is there.

  On the other hand, among the items to be stored in the drawer, the items that are frequently used during cooking work are limited. That is, it is not necessary to lift all the drawers to a high position.

  Further, in the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 1, the drawer cannot be raised unless the drawer is completely pulled out because of fear of collision with the cabinet. Then, the user working in the kitchen has to go down one step and pull out the drawer greatly, and if it overlaps frequently, there is a risk that it will be annoying.

  Furthermore, if the operation of pulling out and the operation of raising are separate actions, two actions are necessary even if the operation is necessarily accommodated. For this reason, the user is troublesome in the operation itself, and there is a possibility that the precious functions may not be used.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a storage that can improve the usability of a drawer at a low position by raising a sufficient amount of objects to be stored with a simple mechanism, simple and easy to operate. It is intended to provide.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a typical configuration of a storage according to the present invention is a storage that can slidably store a drawer that can store an object to be stored, and is disposed in the drawer, A mounting member capable of mounting an object to be stored, a support member that supports the mounting member, a column member that guides the support member in the vertical direction, and a support member and the column member that are directly connected to each other. And a spring for biasing.

  According to the above configuration, when the drawer is pulled out, the support member is guided by the column member and moves upward (rises), and the mounting member supported by the support member rises. Therefore, it is possible to raise and lower the placement member arranged inside the drawer with a simple mechanism, and it is possible to raise the object to be stored in the placement member so that it can be easily taken out. In addition, since the support member is biased upward by the spring by providing the spring, the mounting member supported by the support member is similarly biased upward. Therefore, the force required to raise the mounting member, that is, the force for pulling out the drawer can be reduced, and the operation for pulling out the drawer becomes easy.

  Said column member has an adjustment screw for adjusting the tension | tensile_strength of a spring, and the head of an adjustment screw is good to be arrange | positioned on the outer surface of a column member.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to adjust the degree of spring relaxation by operating the adjustment screw. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the force with which the spring biases the support member, that is, the force to raise the mounting member supported by the support member. Thereby, it becomes possible to adjust the force of the spring according to the weight (amount) and type of the object to be stored in the mounting member. Further, since the head of the adjustment screw is arranged outside the column member, the adjustment screw can be easily operated from the outside of the column member without performing work such as disassembling the column member or the support member.

  The above-mentioned column member has an upper and lower groove that is a groove extending in the vertical direction, and the support member has an upper and lower roller with a rotation shaft standing from the support member, and the upper and lower rollers are fitted into the upper and lower grooves. By doing so, it is preferable that the column member can guide the support member in the vertical direction.

  According to the above configuration, since the upper and lower rollers move while rotating in the upper and lower grooves, the support member can be smoothly moved in the vertical direction when the drawer is pulled out. Moreover, the friction with an up-and-down groove | channel is reduced by using the member which moves a support member up and down as an up-and-down roller. Therefore, it is possible to prevent wear of these members.

  The upper and lower grooves may be formed by a pair of ribs provided on the column member. With this configuration, the upper and lower grooves can be formed while integrally forming the column member and the rib. Therefore, the cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the member forming the upper and lower grooves and the column member are separate members.

  The column member may include a slide rail that is fixed to the column member, meshes with the support member, guides the support member in the vertical direction, and restricts movement of the rotation shaft in the axial direction.

  According to the above configuration, the slide rail restricts the axial movement of the rotary shaft of the upper and lower rollers, thereby preventing the upper and lower rollers from being detached (derailed) from the upper and lower grooves. Therefore, since the state in which the upper and lower rollers are arranged (inserted) in the upper and lower grooves is maintained, it is possible to reliably raise the mounting member and, consequently, the object to be stored by the support member.

  According to the present invention, with a simple mechanism, the operation is simple and easy, and the storage can improve the usability of the drawer at a low position by raising the necessary objects to be stored sufficiently. Can be provided.

  The column member 180 is a member that guides the support member 160 (moving member 162) in the vertical direction. FIG. 6 is a member for explaining details of the column member 180. FIG. 6A is a perspective view of the column member 180 as viewed from the outside of the drawer 134, and FIG. 6B is a perspective view of the column member 180 with the cover removed as viewed from the inside of the drawer 134. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the column member 180.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the column member 180 includes a fixing portion 180 a, a pair of ribs 182, a slide rail 184, a spring 186, an upper and lower block 190, an adjustment screw 192, and a cover 198.

  The fixing portion 180 a is a member for fixing and installing the column member 180 on the rear surface of the front plate 134 a of the drawer 134. Thus, when the drawer 134 is pulled out or pushed out, the column member 180 can move in the same direction as the drawer 134. In the present embodiment, the two fixing portions 180a are provided on the column member 180. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one or more fixing portions 180a may be provided.

  One pair (two) of the ribs 182 is erected on the column member 180 to form an upper and lower groove 182b described later. Accordingly, the upper and lower grooves 182b can be formed while integrally forming the pillar member 180 and the rib 182, and the cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the member forming the upper and lower grooves 182b and the pillar member 180 are separate members. Is possible.

  The vertical groove 182b is a groove formed by the rib 182 and extending in the vertical direction. The upper and lower grooves 182b are fitted with upper and lower rollers 162a provided on the moving member 162 (supporting member 160) (see FIG. 7). Accordingly, since the upper and lower rollers 162a can move in the upper and lower grooves 182b, the column member 180 can guide the support member 160 in the vertical direction by guiding the vertical roller 162a in the vertical direction.

  The slide rail 184 is fixed to the column member 180, meshes with the support member 160, guides the support member 160 in the vertical direction, and restricts the axial movement of the rotary shaft of the vertical roller 162a. Specifically, the slide rail 184 has a meshing portion 184a, and the meshing portion 184a of the slider 163 constituting the support member 160 meshes with the meshing portion 184a.

  When meshing the meshing portion 163a and the meshing portion 184a, as shown in FIG. 7, the slide rail provided on the column member 180 on the front surface of the meshing portion 163a of the slider 163 (the surface having the spring engaging portion 163b described later). The meshing part 184a of 184 is brought into contact. Then, the meshing portion 163a of the slider 163 and the meshing portion 184a of the slide rail 184 are meshed (see FIG. 6B).

  As described above, the meshing portion 163a and the meshing portion 184a mesh with each other, so that the slider 163 can move only in the vertical direction, and the movement in the horizontal direction is restricted. Accordingly, the upper and lower rollers 162a of the moving member 162 to which the slider 163 is attached are restricted from moving in the axial direction of the rotation shaft. This prevents the upper and lower rollers 162a from being detached (derailed) from the upper and lower grooves 182b, so that the state in which the upper and lower rollers 162a are disposed (inserted) in the upper and lower grooves 182b is maintained and mounted by the support member 160. It is possible to reliably raise the mounting member 150 and, consequently, the object to be stored.

  In this embodiment, the spring 186 is a tension spring, and one end thereof is directly connected to a spring engaging portion 163b of the slider 163 constituting the support member 160, and the other end is directly connected to a spring engaging portion 190a of an upper and lower block 190 described later. (See FIG. 8). Thereby, the moving member 162 (support member 160) is urged upward with respect to the column member 180, and the mounting member 150 supported by the support member 160 is also urged upward in the same manner. Therefore, the raising / lowering of the mounting member 150 in the lifting mechanism is assisted, and the force required to raise the mounting member 150, that is, the force for pulling out the drawer 134 can be reduced, and the operation of pulling out the drawer 134 is easy. Become.

  The upper and lower blocks 190 move up and down in the column member 180 when an adjustment screw 192 described later is operated. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the details of the upper and lower blocks 190 and the adjusting screw 192. As shown in FIG. 8, the upper and lower blocks 190 have spring engaging portions 190a, and the end portions of the springs 186 are engaged with the spring engaging portions 190a. As a result, as will be described later, the adjustment screw 192 is operated to move the upper and lower blocks 190 and the degree of relaxation of the spring 186 can be adjusted.

  The adjustment screw 192 is a screw for moving the upper and lower blocks 190 and adjusting the tension of the spring 186. Accordingly, by operating the adjustment screw 192 to move the upper and lower blocks 190 up and down, the degree of relaxation of the spring 186 can be adjusted via the upper and lower blocks 190.

  Referring to FIG. 8 again, in the present embodiment, the head 192 a of the adjustment screw 192 is disposed on the outer surface of the column member 180. Thus, when adjusting the force (relaxation degree) of the spring 186, the adjustment screw 192 can be easily operated from the outside of the column member 180 without performing work such as disassembling the column member 180 or the support member 160. Can do.

  The cover 198 is a so-called lid that covers the inside of the column member 180. Thereby, it is possible to protect the members provided inside the column member 180 such as the spring 186 from colliding with the objects to be stored stored in the drawer 134 and to prevent the members from being damaged. In the present embodiment, the cover 198 has an observation window 198a. Details of the observation window 198a will be described later.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining adjustment of the spring 186 using the upper and lower blocks 190 and the adjustment screw 192. FIG. 9A shows a state where the upper and lower blocks 190 are above the movement range, and FIG. 9B shows a state where the upper and lower blocks 190 are below the movement range. 9 (c) is an enlarged view of the column member 180 shown in FIG. 9 (a) with the cover 198 attached, and FIG. 9 (d) shows the cover 198 on the column member 180 shown in FIG. 9 (b). The enlarged view of the state which mounted | wore is shown. FIG. 9 shows a state in which the drawer 134 (not shown) is pulled out and the support member 160 is fully raised.

  In FIG. 9A, the upper and lower blocks 190 are located above, and when the support member 160 is fully raised, the spring 186 is extended to the maximum. That is, the spring 186 has a large force for biasing the moving member 162 (supporting member 160) upward. When adjusting the force (relaxation degree) of the spring 186 from this state, the head 192a (see FIG. 8B) of the adjustment screw 192 provided on the outer surface of the column member 180 is used using a tool (not shown). Rotate.

  With the above operation, as shown in FIG. 9B, the upper and lower blocks 190 move downward within the movement range, and the spring 186 contracts toward the spring engaging portion 190a of the upper and lower blocks 190. When the support member 160 is fully raised, the spring 186 is in the most contracted state. Therefore, the force with which the spring 186 urges the moving member 162 (supporting member 160) upward can be minimized.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9C and 9D, the tip 190b of the upper and lower blocks 190 can be observed from the observation window 198a provided on the cover 198 of the column member 180, and the force (relaxation degree) of the spring 186 can be observed. Can be confirmed. Therefore, the user can grasp the state of the spring 186 easily and reliably.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, by rotating the adjustment screw 192, the upper and lower blocks 190 are moved up and down, and the spring 186 biases the moving member 162 (support member 160), that is, the support member 160. It is possible to adjust the force to raise the mounting member 150 supported by the. Thereby, the force of the spring 186 can be adjusted according to the weight (amount) and type of the object to be stored in the mounting member 150.

  The rail 200 is disposed on a wall plate 130a in the base cabinet 130 (storage) and guides the upper pulley 170 and the lower pulley 172 (see FIG. 3). FIG. 10 is a diagram showing details of the rail 200. As shown in FIG. 10, the rail 200 is provided with a plurality of grooves, the upper groove is the upper rail 210 on which the upper pulley 170 travels, and the lower groove is the lower rail 220 on which the lower pulley 172 travels. is there.

  The upper rail 210 has an inclined portion 210b that rises toward the front side at the center, a front horizontal portion 210c that guides the upper pulley 170 substantially horizontally, and a rear side from the inclined portion 210b. The rear horizontal portion 210a guides the upper pulley 170 substantially horizontally. Similar to the upper rail 210, the lower rail 220 also has a back horizontal portion 220a for guiding the lower pulley 172, an inclined portion 220b, and a front horizontal portion 220c.

  With the above configuration, when the drawer 134 is pulled out, the pulleys (upper pulley 170 and lower pulley 172) provided on the arm 168 move the upper rail 210 and lower rail 220 of the rail 200 along the shape from the back side of the drawer 134. Move to the front side. When the pulley reaches the inclined portions 210b and 220b, the pulley then moves up along the shape (inclined) of the inclined portions 210b and 220b, so the arm 168 also moves in the horizontal direction and moves upward. Will be. Along with this, the support member 160 connected to the arm 168 is guided by the column member 180 and moves upward (rises), and the mounting member 150 supported by the support member 160 rises. Therefore, the mounting member 150 disposed inside the drawer 134 can be raised and lowered with a simple mechanism using the rail 200, the pulley, and the arm 168.

  In the present embodiment, the rear horizontal portions 210a and 220a, the inclined portions 210b and 220b, and the front horizontal portions 210c and 220c are substantially straight lines, and their intersections (bending points) are rounded. At this time, it is preferable that the radius of curvature of the radius is larger than the radius of the upper pulley 170 and the lower pulley 172 (bending is gentle). However, except that the inclined portions 210b and 220b have a smooth curve that draws an S-shape, and that the rear side horizontal portions 210a and 220a and the front side horizontal portions 210c and 220c are also inclined, bent, or curved. is not.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the mounting member 150 by the lifting mechanism in the base cabinet 130 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 11 is a view for explaining the operation of the mounting member 150 when the drawer 134 is pulled out by the lifting mechanism.

  FIG. 11A shows a state in which the drawer 134 is accommodated in the base cabinet 130. At this time, the support member 160 (the moving member 162 and the like) is biased upward by a spring 186 (not shown), but the upper pulley 170 and the lower pulley 172 are moved to the rear horizontal portions 210a and 220a of the rail 200. Therefore, the position in the height direction is restricted. Therefore, the mounting member 150 is in the most lowered state.

  FIG. 11B shows a state in which the drawer 134 is pulled out partway. At this time, since the upper pulley 170 and the lower pulley 172 are in the inclined portions 210b and 220b, when the drawer 134 is pulled out, the arm 168 rises, and the support member 160 and the mounting member 150 also rise. That is, the force that pulls out the drawer 134 is converted into a force that raises the placement member 150. At this time, since the support member 160 (the moving member 162 and the like) is urged upward by the spring 186, the force required to pull out the drawer 134 can be reduced.

  FIG. 11C shows a state in which the drawer 134 is substantially pulled out. At this time, the pulleys 170 and 172 are in the front horizontal portions 210 c and 220 c of the rail 200. Accordingly, the front horizontal portions 210c and 220c support the weight of the mounting member 150 in the state in which the drawer 134 is pulled out, and the drawer 134 can be prevented from returning into the base cabinet 130. At this time, the height of the support member 160 reaches the upper limit due to the movement limit of the support member 160 with respect to the column member 180 or the reduction limit of the spring 186. Therefore, even if the lower pulley 172 protrudes from the front end of the rail 200, there is no problem.

  When the drawer 134 is housed in the base cabinet 130, the above operation is reversed. That is, when the drawer 134 is pushed in from the pulled-out state (see FIG. 11C), the pulleys 170 and 172 reach the inclined portions 210b and 220b as shown in FIG. 11B. Then, since the pulleys 170 and 172 are guided by the inclined portions 210b and 220b and descend, the arms 168 are pulled down while maintaining a horizontal posture. As a result, the support member 160 and thus the placement member 150 are lowered by simply pushing the drawer 134.

  As described above, according to the storage according to the present embodiment, when the drawer 134 is pulled out, the pulleys (upper pulley 170 and lower pulley 172) provided on the arm 168 are moved forward from the back side of the drawer 134 on the rail 200. The support member 160 connected to the arm 168 is guided by the column member 180 and moves upward (rises). Therefore, the mounting member 150 disposed inside the drawer 134 and supported by the support member 160 can be moved up and down with a simple mechanism, and the object stored in the mounting member 150 is lifted to facilitate removal. It becomes possible. At this time, since the mounting member 150 moves up and down in accordance with the operation of taking in and out the drawer 134, the operation is simple and easy, and the height is raised to a sufficient height necessary for taking out the stored item without bending. Thereby, the usability of the drawer in the low position can be improved.

  Further, since the spring 186 is provided, the support member 160 and, as a result, the mounting member 150 supported by the support member 160 is urged upward by the spring 186, and therefore, it is necessary for raising the mounting member 150. The force, that is, the force of pulling out the drawer 134 can be reduced, and the operation of pulling out the drawer 134 is facilitated.

  In the above-described embodiment, the drawer 134 of the base cabinet 130 has been described. However, the placing member 150 may be provided in another drawer 132 or the foot storage 136, and the stove cabinet 120 or sink that is another storage. A placement member 150 may be provided in the drawer of the cabinet 140.

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described referring an accompanying drawing, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention is not limited to the example which concerns. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the claims, and these are naturally within the technical scope of the present invention. Understood.
