Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a work unit for kitchens.
  • Kitchen work units which are usually part of a fitted kitchen, are known from the prior art.
  • the known kitchen work units are provided with a rigid worktop.
  • the people working in the kitchen can be of very different heights. Much of the kitchen work is done standing up. Depending on the body size of the working person, a certain working height of the kitchen work unit makes ergonomic sense. Furthermore, particularly long-lasting kitchen work is often done in the seated working position, for which a lower working height is appropriate.
  • the object of the present invention is to design a kitchen work unit so that its height can be adapted within a certain range to the working height required for the person concerned.
  • the solution to this problem is provided by a kitchen work unit in which the height of the worktop is adjustable.
  • the height adjustment of the worktop of the kitchen work unit in a horizontal position can be carried out according to the invention either in a vertical or in an inclined guide. In the latter case, the worktop can be guided in its lowering movement so that it either moves forward towards the working person or backwards away from the working person.
  • the height-adjustable worktop according to the invention also has the advantage that the kitchen work unit is designed for the disabled. A person sitting in a wheelchair can lower the worktop to a comfortable height.
  • the height adjustment should be designed so that the height of the worktop can be varied approximately in a range of 10 to 30 cm.
  • the invention proposes a number of different preferred solution variants, which are explained in more detail in the following detailed description.
  • the cooking and washing area of a kitchen can also be made height-adjustable in a horizontal position.
  • hot plates or one or more sinks are embedded in the worktop.
  • the height can be adjusted, for example, by an electric motor or hydraulically, pneumatically, against the force of a spring, for example a gas pressure spring, or mechanically using a hand crank.
  • a spring for example a gas pressure spring
  • FIG. 1 The illustration shows in perspective a support structure with an approximately U-shaped horizontal support frame 11 on which the height-adjustable worktop 12 (shown in dashed lines) rests.
  • the kitchen base cabinet is designated 10 and also shown in dashed lines.
  • the horizontal U-shaped support frame 11 is connected with its two legs 13, 14 to a vertical column 15, which is guided in a guide housing 16.
  • This guide housing 16 is in turn connected to the side walls 17 of the kitchen base cabinet.
  • the two columns can be connected by a crossbar 18a, which houses the mechanism for synchronous actuation.
  • the kitchen base cabinet 10 which in a manner known per se consists of two side walls 18, 19, a rear wall 20 and two front doors 21, 22, is again shown in dashed lines.
  • This kitchen base cabinet accommodates a housing arranged on the rear wall 20, consisting of an upper part 23 and a lower part 24, which are mutually adjustable in height, the upper part 23 being guided on the lower part 24.
  • On the upper part 23 rest two in principle L-shaped support profiles 25, 26, on which in turn the worktop 12 (shown in dashed lines) rests.
  • a trigger 27 is attached to the L-shaped support profile 26. After releasing this trigger, the worktop can be lowered against the force of a spring by applying pressure from above.
  • This can be, for example, a gas pressure spring arranged in the housing 23, 24.
  • the worktop 12 (shown in dashed lines) is adjustable in height in an inclined guide.
  • the kitchen base cabinet 10 (shown in dashed lines) two wall elements 28, 29 are installed, which can be mounted on the side walls 18, 19 of the kitchen base cabinet. These two wall elements are cut diagonally at the top.
  • guide rails are arranged on the upper side, into which guide pieces 30 engage, which are connected to upper wall elements 31, 32 which are triangular in outline.
  • the worktop 12 then lies on the upper triangular wall elements 31, 32. In the lowest position of the worktop 12, the upper wall elements 31, 32 complement each other with the lower wall elements 28, 29 to form a rectangle.
  • the worktop 12 can be pulled up, the worktop being simultaneously pulled towards the operator.
  • the oblique cut of the lower wall elements 28, 29 can just as well vice versa, i.e. increasing from front to back. If the guide is inclined towards the operating side, then the plate lowers when pulling towards the person, with the opposite inclination it is raised when pulling forward.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further alternative embodiment of the invention.
  • the supporting structure for the worktop is designed in principle in the same way as in the variant according to FIG. 1.
  • the worktop does not correspond to the size of the kitchen base cabinet 10.
  • there is in principle a continuous worktop 33 as is customary in fitted kitchens, the width of which corresponds to the width of a plurality of base cabinets lying next to one another.
  • this worktop 33 has only one rear continuous section 34, which has a front rectangular recess 35.
  • the width of this recess 35 corresponds to the dimensions of the kitchen base cabinet 10.
  • the height-adjustable worktop 12 according to the invention now lies in this rectangular recess 35.
  • this front rectangular part 12 of the worktop is lowered or raised, while the part lying behind it 34 of the worktop is fixed.
  • the size of the lowerable part 12 of the worktop is sufficient.
  • the invention can be used in household kitchens or in industrial kitchens.
  • FIGS. 5, 7 and 8. show a preferred embodiment of a kitchen work unit according to the invention.
  • the height-adjustable worktop 50 is accommodated between two side cheeks 54 when it is adjusted in the vertical direction, only a small gap of a few millimeters remaining between the plate 50 and cheeks 54. This prevents the danger of the operator being injured, for example by pinching a finger.
  • the mechanism for the height adjustment is covered in the lower area by a cover 55 which is approximately trapezoidal in cross section.
  • the side cheeks 54 can either be attached to the adjacent kitchen base cabinets (not shown) or to the rear wall 56.
  • the height adjustment takes place electrically via a motor 59, which is shown in FIG. 6.
  • the electrical height adjustment is operated via the switch 57, which is attached to the front of the worktop 50.
  • the worktop 50 only moves down or up when the switch 57 is touched or pressed.
  • the highest position of the worktop 50 is shown in FIG. 7.
  • the highest position is chosen so that the lower edge 62 of the worktop which is relatively strongly formed in the front corner area and on the sides lies in the highest position below the upper edge 61 of the lateral cheek 54. This prevents the operator from getting his fingers caught or other objects from getting caught between the worktop and the side cheek.
  • the lowest position of the worktop 50 is shown in FIG. 8. Even downwards, the worktop only moves so far that it is still accommodated between the two cheeks 54.
  • a juice channel 50a is provided, which absorbs liquids that arise during work. This prevents these liquids from running off the edge of the worktop.
  • V-shaped support arm 51 is connected to a vertical column 52, which in turn is guided in a height-adjustable manner in the lower guide column 53.
  • the height adjustment is driven by the motor 59 and the gear 60.
  • a transformer 58 is provided for the electric motor 59.
  • a vertical rod 63 can be provided in the rear area below the V-shaped support arm 51, which is guided in the guide space 64.
  • the rod 63 has a stop element at its end, for which an upper and a lower stop are provided in the guide housing 64 (not shown). In this way, the stroke of the worktop can be limited upwards and downwards.
  • a bevel gear 78 which meshes with a bevel gear 79, is driven via electric motor 59 and gear 60.
  • the bevel gear 79 is located on a horizontal spindle 80 on which a further bevel gear 81 is arranged.
  • the bevel gear 81 in turn meshes with a bevel gear which is connected to the vertical spindle 76.
  • the vertical spindle 76 is driven by the electric motor.
  • This vertical spindle 76 is located within the height-adjustable column 52 and is connected to this column 52 at its upper end.
  • a spindle nut 77 is assigned to the thread of the spindle 76 and is fixed in the lower area in the guide column 53.
  • the spindle 76 rotates, the upper column 52 moves, which is supported by balls 83 in the ball cage 82.
  • the ball cage 82 is in turn received by the lower guide column 53.
  • FIG. 10 shows a front view of a height-adjustable kitchen work unit according to the invention. From the illustration it can be seen that the approximately trapezoidal covering of the drive elements and the guide column in horizontal section is formed in two parts, the upper covering 55a being connected to the height-adjustable worktop 50 and sliding along the lower covering 55 during the height adjustment.
  • FIG. 11 shows a development of the kitchen work unit shown in FIG. 10 in the front view.
  • a kitchen base cabinet 65 is provided, the cover plate 66 of which closes the kitchen base cabinet below the side cheeks 54.
  • It is a kitchen base cabinet 65 of basically conventional design with a base 67 and two doors 68.
  • the space below the height-adjustable worktop 50 can be used, with only the space taken up by the cladding 55, 55a in the rear area of the Kitchen cupboards is lost.
  • the cover plate 66 of the kitchen base cabinet has a recess corresponding to the outline of the panel 55a.
  • FIG. 1 An alternative variant of a kitchen work unit according to the invention is shown in FIG.
  • This variant is a height-adjustable hotplate 70 which is integrated in a kitchen unit.
  • the height-adjustable hotplate 70 in turn moves between two side cheeks 54 fastened to two adjacent kitchen base cabinets and, as in the previous exemplary embodiments, a fixed rear wall 69 is provided.
  • the height-adjustable hotplate 70 has a plurality of hotplates 71, the setting of which is carried out via operating elements 72 arranged on the front.
  • the hotplate 70 naturally has a somewhat greater height than the simple worktops according to the previous exemplary embodiments, since there must be sufficient space below the hotplates 71 for accommodating the electrical units.
  • FIG. 13 shows a further variant of the invention, in which case the height-adjustable kitchen work unit is designed as a sink table 73.
  • sink 75 are embedded in a conventional manner, in addition, the necessary Water pipe fittings available.
  • the height-adjustable sink table 73 in turn moves between two side cheeks 54, which are connected to the adjacent kitchen base cabinets, and a fixed rear wall 74 is again provided.
  • the connections for the supply of the sanitary fittings and pipeline to the siphon for the discharge of the dirty water from the sink are flexible, so that the height adjustment is possible.
  • the connections and supply lines are not shown in the drawing for the sake of clarity.
