washing nozzles

5a, 5b, and 5c spray washing water to the objects to be washed, such as dishes, stored in the dish tray 4 and the housing 10, to wash the objects to be washed. At this time,

washing nozzles

5a, 5b, and 5c are arranged to spray washing water mainly from below washing tub 2 toward above, and wash the object to be washed.

Cleaning nozzles

5a, 5b, and 5c are not limited to the above arrangement configuration, but are desirably arranged at appropriate positions in cleaning tank 2 according to the configuration and shape of cleaning tank 2, the shape and arrangement of the dish tray, and the like.

< basket part (tableware basket) >

The housing 10 of the dish basket of the present embodiment can take 3 states described below. Specifically, the housing 10 can select 3 states of (1) a covered state, (2) a small basket on the dish tray, and (3) a small basket outside the dish tray.

Hereinafter, the 3 states will be described in further detail with reference to fig. 2 to 4.

(1) Status of coverage

The covered state is a state in which at least a part of the dishes stored in the dish tray 4 is covered with the 1 st and 2 nd recesses 12 and 14 of the housing 10 opened, as shown in fig. 2. The covering state can be realized by rotating the 1 st shaft part 11 of the 1 st recessed part 12 in the pushing direction (Y direction) of the dish tray 4 without rotating the 2 nd shaft part 13 of the 2 nd recessed part 14. In this case, the following cases are also included: the 2 nd shaft portion 13 of the 2 nd recess portion 14 slightly rotates according to the size of a part of the tableware. This allows the basket 10 to stably press and wash the objects to be washed, such as relatively light dishes, placed on the dish tray 4 from above.

(2) Small basket state on tableware tray

The small basket state on the dish tray means a state in which a small basket capable of containing the objects to be washed inside is formed by the 1 st concave portion 12 and the 2 nd concave portion 14 on the surface of the dish tray 4 on which the dishes and the like are placed, as shown in fig. 3.

That is, the small basket state on the dish tray is realized by further rotating the 1 st shaft part 11 and the 2 nd shaft part 13 in the Z direction while rotating the 1 st shaft part 11 and the 2 nd shaft part 13 in the pull-out direction (-Y direction) of the dish tray 4 from the above-described covered state. At this time, the 1 st concave portion 12 covers the 2 nd concave portion 14. Thus, the 1 st recessed portion 12 and the 2 nd recessed portion 14 constitute a small basket. The small basket accommodates a light object to be washed, such as a plastic spoon, a styrofoam container, a wiper, and a sponge, which is washed away by the washing water sprayed during washing. This enables light objects to be washed to be stably held in the small basket, and light objects to be washed to be efficiently washed.

Further, in washing, the dishes on the dish tray 4 placed under the basket are also pressed from above by the weight of the basket. Therefore, the dishes on the dish tray 4 can be kept and washed in a stable state.

(3) Outer small basket state of tableware tray

The outer small basket state of the dish tray is a state in which a small basket capable of accommodating objects to be washed therein is formed by the 1 st concave portion 12 and the 2 nd concave portion 14 outside the housing of the dish tray 4 as shown in fig. 4.

That is, the tray outer box state is realized by rotating the 2 nd shaft part 13 further in the-Z direction while rotating the 2 nd shaft part 13 in the pull-out direction (-Y direction) of the tray 4 without rotating the 1 st shaft part 11 in a state where the 1 st recess part 12 extends downward from the 1 st shaft part 11. At this time, the small basket is disposed so as to protrude toward the front surface (-Y direction) of the dish tray 4.

In this configuration, ordinary dishes are placed on the dish tray 4. In addition, such a light object to be washed that is washed away during washing is stored in the small basket. This simultaneously washes the objects to be washed, such as dishes on the dish tray 4, and the light objects to be washed in the small basket.

As described above, according to the presence or absence of such light objects to be washed that are washed away during washing, the presence or absence of light dishes on the dish tray 4, and the like, it is possible to appropriately select the appropriate state of the housing 10 from, for example, the above-described 3 states, and to wash the objects to be washed more reliably.

The housing 10 of the dish basket according to the present embodiment will be described in further detail below with reference to fig. 5 to 8.

Fig. 5 is a schematic perspective view showing a state where the 1 st recessed portion 12 and the 2 nd recessed portion 14 of the housing 10 are opened without rotating the 2 nd shaft portion 13. Fig. 6 is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which the housing 10 of fig. 5 is turned upside down. Fig. 7 is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which the 2 nd shaft portion 13 is rotated and a small basket is configured by the 1 st recessed portion 12 and the 2 nd recessed portion 14. Fig. 8 is a schematic perspective view showing a case where a housing constituting the small basket of fig. 7 is disposed on a front surface side. Fig. 8 corresponds to a state in which the housing 10 is disposed in the cutlery tray 4 shown in fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 2 to 4, a housing 10 constituting a dish basket is attached to a frame on the front surface side (-Y direction) of a dish tray 4 via a 1 st shaft 11 that can rotate in a drawing direction (-Y direction) or a pushing direction (Y direction) of the dish tray 4.

The housing 10 has a 1 st recess 12 and a 2 nd recess 14, and the 1 st recess 12 and the 2 nd recess 14 are rotatably connected to each other via a 2 nd shaft 13. The 1 st recess 12 extends from the 1 st shaft portion 11. The 2 nd shaft 13 is provided at an end of the 2 nd recessed portion 14 on the opposite side of the 1 st recessed portion 12 from the 1 st shaft 11, and is configured to be rotatable in the drawing direction (-Y direction) of the tray 4. The 2 nd recessed portion 14 extends from the 2 nd shaft portion 13. In the above description, the 2 nd shaft portion 13 is described as an example of a structure that can be rotated in the pull-out direction, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, depending on the timing of rotating the 2 nd shaft portion 13, the 2 nd shaft portion 13 may be configured to be rotatable in the push-in direction (Y direction). That is, the 2 nd shaft portion 13 may be rotated in a different direction according to the rotation state.

The basket 10 is configured to rotate the 2 nd recessed portion 14 toward the 1 st recessed portion 12 via the 2 nd shaft portion 13, and to cover the openings of the 1 st recessed portion 12 and the 2 nd recessed portion 14, thereby forming a small basket.

The housing 10 of the present embodiment is configured such that the depth of the recess of the 2 nd recess 14 is greater than the depth of the recess of the 1 st recess 12. Here, the depth of the recess corresponds to, for example, the depth (length) in the Y direction of fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 5, when the basket 10 is opened, the light objects to be washed away are first accommodated in the 2 nd recess 14. At this time, the 2 nd recessed portion 14 can be opened toward the front side of fig. 5 by the 2 nd shaft portion 13. Therefore, the object to be cleaned, which is a small object, can be easily accommodated in the 2 nd recess 14 from the front. At this time, the 2 nd recessed portion 14 is opened to the front side from the state of fig. 4, and in this state, the dish tray 4 located at the rear side (Y direction) serves as a supporter. Therefore, the state in which the 2 nd recessed portion 14 is opened to the near side can be maintained more stably. This enables the objects to be cleaned, such as small articles, to be stably stored in the 2 nd recessed part 14 from the front side of the 2 nd recessed part 14.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the openings of the 1 st recess 12 and the 2 nd recess 14 can be combined to close the openings. This enables light objects to be cleaned, such as small articles, to be stably stored in the housing 10.

The housing 10 of the present embodiment is configured such that the 2 nd recess 14 is heavier than the 1 st recess 12. In the covered state shown in fig. 2, the tableware and the like placed on the tableware tray 4 can be stably pressed and washed.

In the present embodiment, the description has been given of an example in which the 1 st concave portion 12 is formed in the "concave portion shape", but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the 1 st recess 12 may be formed of a "flat portion" instead of a "recess". In this case, the "recess" of the 1 st recess 12 may include a "flat portion" in part.

In the present embodiment, a drying section or the like that dries washed dishes, which is provided in a general dish washing machine, may be provided, and this is not particularly mentioned.

The dish basket of the present embodiment may be mounted on a dish dryer of a type having no washing function. That is, the dishwasher may be mounted with: has a drying part for blowing air to dry the dishware in the cleaning tank.

In addition, the present disclosure includes a case where any of the above-described embodiments is appropriately combined. The effects of the respective embodiments can be similarly achieved by a combination of these.

As described above, the dish basket of the present invention includes the 1 st recess and the 2 nd recess connected to each other so as to be openable and closable. The 1 st recess is attached to the front surface side of the dish tray via a 1 st shaft portion rotatable in a pull-out direction or a push-in direction of the dish tray storing dishes, and extends from the 1 st shaft portion. The 2 nd recess is attached to an end portion of the 1 st recess opposite to the 1 st shaft via a 2 nd shaft rotatable in a drawing direction or a pushing direction of the dish tray, and extends from the 2 nd shaft. The 2 nd recessed portion is configured to be rotatable toward the 1 st recessed portion by the 2 nd shaft portion, and the object to be cleaned can be accommodated inside the 1 st recessed portion and the 2 nd recessed portion.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to more reliably store light objects to be washed, which are easily washed away, in the dish basket attached to the dish tray, and to wash the objects to be washed.

In the dish basket of the present invention, the 1 st shaft portion is rotated in the pushing direction of the dish tray and the 2 nd shaft portion is rotated, so that the 1 st recess portion and the 2 nd recess portion are substantially horizontally opened. Further, it is desirable to configure a covering state in which the tableware accommodated in at least a part of the tableware tray is covered by the 1 st recess and the 2 nd recess.

In the dish basket of the present invention, the 1 st shaft portion may be rotated in the pushing direction of the dish tray, and the 1 st recess and the 2 nd recess may be substantially closed on the dish tray, thereby forming a small basket capable of storing the objects to be washed.

In the dish basket of the present invention, the 1 st shaft portion may be rotated in the drawing direction of the dish tray, and the small basket may be constituted by at least the 2 nd recessed portion outside the dish tray.

According to the above-described configurations, the state of the dish basket can be appropriately selected according to the presence or absence of such light objects to be washed that are washed away during washing, the presence or absence of light objects to be washed such as dishes on the dish tray, and the like. This enables more effective cleaning of the object to be cleaned.

Further, it is desirable that the 2 nd recess of the dish basket of the present invention is heavier than the 1 st recess.

According to the above configuration, the object to be washed, such as tableware, can be pressed and washed more stably in the covered state.

According to the above configuration, the light objects to be washed, which are easily washed away, can be accommodated in the dish basket attached to the dish tray, and the objects to be washed can be washed more efficiently.
