As shown in Figure 1,,, during the flushing running, not shown feed water valve is opened,, supplied water to the inside of washing chamber 2 by water supply hose 13 when cleaning running at the state that washing chamber 2 is received in fully casing 1 inside.The water that supplies to the inside of washing chamber 2 remains in the bottom of the washing chamber 2 that comprises water storage flume 14.The heater 18 of the bottom of this resident water by being arranged at washing chamber 2, suitably heating.At this state, if above-mentioned cleaning draining pump 17 drives as scavenging pump 17, then will be from the hot water of water storage flume 14 suction towards nozzle arm 16 force feeds, from hole for water spraying towards the washing chamber 2 internal spray.Follow this injection impetus, nozzle arm 16 rotations.Thus, water is sprayed onto on the tableware that is received in the tableware basket 4, dirt drops.The residue that is attached to the food on the tableware is collected by filter 15, and water flows into water storage flume 14, uses circularly once more.

In addition, between the antetheca 2a and front panel 7 of washing chamber 2, have the blower mechanism and the exhaust gear that comprise blower fan etc., when dry trip, by blower mechanism, extraneous gas is supplied to the inside of washing chamber 2, this extraneous gas can be by heater 18 heating, contact with tableware, or the air that comprises the steam that is produced by tableware can pass through exhaust gear, is discharged to outside the body, though about this point, because figure is complicated, the relevant description omitted.

A main driving mechanism for opening or closing that is characterised in that top cover 5 of this dish-washing machine.Below with reference to Fig. 3～9, it is specifically described.

1 connecting rod 6 (or 6 ') that forms above-mentioned parallel linkage is L-shaped basically plate-shaped member, and this L shaped short leg is as connector.As Fig. 8, shown in Figure 9, in the leading section of this short leg, offer along the elongated slotted eye 6a of fore-and-aft direction, the Cylindorical rod 5a that screws togather with the side of top cover 5 passes this hole 6a according to adeciduate mode, thus, top cover 5 can slide along fore-and-aft direction in the scope of being determined by the length of hole 6a.The other end of above-mentioned short-movie portion, the screw 6b that promptly L shaped pars intermedia screws togather by the inner face with the sidewall 1a of casing 1, rotatably hinged.

In addition, screw 6c, 6c ' can be passed through in the end of the lengthy motion picture of 2 connecting rods 6,6 ' in front and back, rotatably be articulated in two ends of the action plate 20 that substantial horizontal extends, they provide portion and act on as being included in action force in the above-mentioned action transmission mechanism.At the inner face of the sidewall 1a of casing 1, in the place ahead of above-mentioned Cylindorical rod 5a, limiting plate 28 is projected into the contacted position of head with this Cylindorical rod 5a, realizes fixing.In addition, in the same manner that limiting plate 28 ' is fixing by the connecting rod 6 ' of rear portion side at the rear of the Cylindorical rod that is equivalent to above-mentioned Cylindorical rod 5a, though this point is not shown in the drawings.Though top cover 5 can be as mentioned above, slide along fore-and-aft direction,, in fact under the effect of the limiting plate 28,28 ' of front and back, this top cover 5 is restricted along the mobile of fore-and-aft direction.Thus, when connecting rod 6,6 ' is the center with screw 6b, and during casing 1 rotation, top cover 5 can substantially perpendicularly move up and down relatively.In addition, action plate 20 is substantially parallel mutually with top cover 5, and remains on the state of horizontal direction, along seesawing.

As the 1st biasing mechanism, essentially horizontally the lengthy motion picture portion of the connecting rod 6,6 ' of an end of the helical spring 21 of She Zhiing and rear portion side connects, and the other end of this helical spring 21 is fixed on the medial surface of sidewall 1a of casing 1.This helical spring 21 is the center according to connecting rod 6 ' with screw 6b ', setovers along the right handed mode among Fig. 3, thus, makes top cover 5 according to

screw

6b, and 6b ' is the center, and the mode of lifting towards the top is setovered.

At the leading section of action plate 20, be inserted with small-sized helical spring 22 as the 2nd biasing mechanism, be fixed with the end of formation as the steel wire rope of the steel wire 23 of the thread-like member of a part that constitutes the action force transmission mechanism.Steel wire 23 adopts following formation, and wherein in pipe, steel wire rope passes slidably, and an end 23a of this pipe is fixed on the medial surface of action plate 20 and the sidewall 1a of the casing 1 of the rear side of the connecting portion of steel wire rope.Steel wire 23 is according to extending towards the rear from this connecting portion, the mode that forms bigger circular arc is provided with towards the below, along the steel wire gathering sill 24 that essentially horizontally is formed at the sidewall lateral surface of washing chamber 2, transmit this steel wire towards the place ahead, further, this steel wire is sent to the space of the antetheca 2a of front panel 7 and washing chamber 2.In addition, in the opposite sides of this dish-washing machine, also be provided with steel wire 23 ', equally though this point is not shown in the drawings.

As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7, action bars 11 is fixed on the rotary part 25 that vertically extends, and both can be integral ground, and the installing component 26 of relative fixed on front panel 7 is the center with axle 25a, rotates in prescribed limit.Between rotary part 25 and installing component 26, be provided with helical spring 27.Because this helical spring 27 is at the central part at the two ends of the rotating range of action bars 11, further elongation is so when action bars 11 was positioned at basic middle the locating of rotating range, it was according to setovering along the mode of both direction rotation.For example, be positioned at the action bars 11 that the position is removed in stop if plan along the rotation of stop direction, then at first, owing to must resist the bias force of helical spring 27, and rotary manipulation bar 11, so necessarily require power to a certain degree, but, if action bars 11 by place in the middle of rotating range basic, then since the bias force of helical spring 27 according to the mode effect that promotes this rotation, so under the situation that does not apply bigger power, action bars 11 moves to stop position.

As Fig. 5 and shown in Figure 7, the other end 23b of the pipe on two

steel wires

23,23 ', 23b ' is fixed on the installing component 26, and the end of each steel wire rope is fixed on the rotary part 25.So, when action bars 11 is positioned at stop position, by with 11 one-tenth integrally rotated rotary parts 25 of action bars, haulage cable is removed the position if action bars 11 is turned back to stop, then removes the traction of steel wire rope.

As mentioned above, make action bars 11 rotate to stop position, haulage cable, then the compression bias force of action plate 20 opposing helical springs 21 is pulled to the rear.Rotary part 25 is pressed essentially identical length, the corresponding steel wire rope of the steel wire 23,23 ' about traction simultaneously, then, about action plate 20 according to identical mode, move towards the rear, thus, top cover 5 substantially perpendicularly descends, and the end face opening 3 of washing chamber 2 is closed.In addition, even in balance variation owing to assembly process and parts, have under the inhomogeneous nonequilibrium situation that causes of action of parallel linkage of the left and right sides, owing to be inserted in the effect of the helical spring 22 between steel wire rope and the action plate 20, should non-equilibrium correction.That is, because so non-equilibrium, top cover 5 is towards tilting, descend simultaneously, about any side, the bottom surface of top cover 5 contacts with the rim portion of washing chamber 2 earlier, in this occasion, in its side, helical spring 22 elongations, thus, absorb tractive force, in the another side, tractive force acts on same as before, and top cover 5 descends.In addition, close the end face opening 3 of washing chamber 2 in whole top cover 5 after because pressing force acts on it on the whole basically equably, so can be in the tight contact site of top cover 5, along the higher water proofing property of full week acquisition with the rim portion of washing chamber 2.

If action bars 11, rotates to the position that stop is removed from being positioned at the state of stop, then 25 one-tenth whole rotations of rotary part, the traction of the steel wire rope of the steel wire 23,23 ' about releasing.So, about action plate 20 under the effect of the compression stress of helical spring 21, move towards the place ahead.Thus, top cover 5 substantially perpendicularly rises, and the end face opening 3 of washing chamber 2 is opened.

As, in this dish-washing machine, the extraction that can carry out washing chamber 2 corresponding to the rotary manipulation of user's action bars 11 stops or removes, and meanwhile, can realize closing or opening of top cover 5.Because the action of the driven for opening and closing of such top cover 5 is by steel wire 23,23 ' carries out, this steel wire 23, in 23 ' the narrower space that is arranged between the medial surface of sidewall 1a of the sidewall lateral surface that is formed at washing chamber 2 and casing 1, do not occupying significantly under the situation in the space in the casing 1 like this, helping guaranteeing the volume of bigger washing chamber 2.

Below with reference to Figure 10～Figure 12, to being described as the top cover 5 of another feature of this dish-washing machine waterproof construction with the contact site of washing chamber 2.

2 the top edge in the washing chamber is provided with groove along ring in week, and this groove is by the interior wall 2c of portion, and the 2d of the outer upright wall portion formation that is higher than wall portion in this.In this groove, embed the liner 31 that has as waterproof part.This liner 31 has the up and down hollow structures of two joints, on save hollow bulb 31a by be opened in the aperture of suitable position along ring Zhou Fangxiang, with external communications, the state in embedded groove not shown in the dotted line among Figure 10, is the shape of stretching out toward the outer side.As shown in figure 12,4 bights of following joint hollow bulb 31b clamping have the slit in both sides, can be inserted into the inboard by the reinforcing member 32 that the cross section is L-shaped basically from this slit.This reinforcing member 32 by with the front of washing chamber 2, the linearity parts 32b of the corresponding shorter dimensional directions in back, with about the linearity parts 32c of the corresponding longer dimensional directions in limit, the corner shape parts 32a that covers 4 bights forms, so that these parts are along encircling Zhou Fangxiang, essentially no installation with gap.At the bottom of groove and the suitable position of each reinforcing member 32, offer screwed hole, if make reinforcing member 32 is inserted into down in liner 31 embedded grooves of joint hollow bulb 31b, then will passes the screw of screwed hole and the screwed hole of reinforcing member 32 screws togather, be fixed from the below, bottom of groove.

This reinforcing member 32 has the function that is used for liner 31 is fixed in groove, and has the function of the apical margin end that strengthens washing chamber 2.That is, the apical margin end of washing chamber 2 is easily according near the centre of left and right sides sidewall, and the place such as near the centre of front and rear wall, is out of shape towards the mode of inside bend.But metal by direct layout, the reinforcing member 32 with high stiffness can prevent such distortion.

As mentioned above, the state of liner 31 in embedded groove not presented the shape that joint hollow bulb 31a stretches out toward the outer side.Thus, in the time of in liner 31 embedded grooves, its extension is pushed along shrinkage direction, fits tightly with the inner peripheral surface of the 2d of outer upright wall portion of groove.In addition, at this moment, the top of liner 31 is lower than the top of the 2d of outer upright wall portion.In addition, liner 31 has stage portion 31c in interior all sides, if it is installed in the groove, then this stage portion 31c is pressed against on the apical margin side of the interior 2c of wall portion.If top cover 5 descends, then the projection piece 5b of the most peripheral of top cover 5 flattens the joint hollow bulb 31a that goes up of liner 31, seamlessly fits tightly under the effect of its reaction force to obtain higher water proofing property.

As mentioned above, the top of liner 31 is lower than the top of the 2d of outer upright wall portion, and the end face of liner 31 has a down dip towards the inboard from the outside, and the inner peripheral surface of liner 31 is pressed against on the last acies of the interior 2c of wall portion.Thus, even water is fallen on the liner 31, water transmits towards the washing chamber 2 inside by liner 31 and flows down, and still can not trickle down to the outside.

Also have, on top cover 5, the interior all sides at projection piece 5b are equipped with flowing water slot part 30, and the cross section of this flowing water slot part 30 is J-shaped basically, and it is the synthetic resin moulded parts.But this flowing water slot part 30 is not provided with along the whole ring of top cover 5 is all, and only is arranged at the rear side of position B shown in Figure 2, and this flowing water slot part 30 terminates in B place, position.Even position B is extracting washing chamber 2 under the maximum situation out, still is being positioned at the position of the scope of washing chamber 2 under it.Such structure has following effects.

That is, if close top cover 5, make and clean the running beginning, then the water that sprays from nozzle arm 16 also arrives the bottom surface of top cover 5.The water that sprays transmits by the bottom surface of top cover 5, around flowing to, enters into flowing water slot part 30.Then, its longshore current tank portion 30 flows, and from above-mentioned slit, flows to 2 inside, washing chamber down.Even in cleaning running, running is temporarily stopped, from casing 1, extract out under the situation of washing chamber 2, still be positioned at 2 inside, washing chamber under the above-mentioned slit, thus, the water that transmits in flowing water slot part 30 must be fallen 2 inside, washing chamber, and water can not flow to outside the washing chamber down, can prevent from the inside of casing 1 got wet or situation that water leaks towards the more lateral.

Below with reference to Figure 13～Figure 16, the also structure of the casing 1 of a feature as this dish-washing machine is specifically described.

Because this dish-washing machine is embedded type, so it must be limited in given size (for example, transverse width is 450mm).At present, generally adopt mounting table shown in Figure 14 81.That is, form following structure, wherein, from placing plate 83, give prominence to towards the top (protuberance 82a) as under the situations such as extraction and the two side 82 of the case that uses.As shown in figure 13, this mounting table 81 is received between the biside plate 80 of whole kitchen, and is by the fixture of bolt etc. that protuberance 82a and side plate 80 is fixing, so that prevent dislocation.

Dish-washing machine is positioned on the placing plate 83 of this mounting table 81, but in this dish-washing machine, the transverse width of casing 1 is the slightly little size of inboard width than the biside plate 80 in kitchen, and the bight 1c of the both sides of its bottom 1b is bending, thus, avoid obstruction to protuberance 82a.With transverse width be in the pull-out type dish-washing machine of the corresponding existing embedded type of whole kitchen of 450mm, for the transverse width that makes casing corresponding with the size of the inwall of the two side 82 of mounting table 81, this size only is 410mm, but in this dish-washing machine, the transverse width of casing can be expanded to the degree slightly littler than 450mm.Thus, also can enlarge the maximum lateral width of washing chamber 2.

Have, 2 the bottom in the washing chamber is equipped with inside and is provided with the washing chamber cap that cleans draining pump etc. again, can make its transverse width less than washing chamber 2 like this, thus, as mentioned above, even be under the situation of curved shape, still do not have any problem at the bight 1c that makes casing 1.

As mentioned above, when being assembled in this dish-washing machine in the whole kitchen, the gap between the sidewall 1a of the casing 1 in this dish-washing machine and the side plate 80 in kitchen is very little.But, if this dish-washing machine vibration contacts with side plate 80 and produces noise owing to have it, so the following structure of employing.That is, as shown in figure 16, the exterior region of the sidewall 1a of casing 1 is substantially perpendicularly towards inside bend, in the gap between this bend and front panel 7, be provided with block 33, on this block 33, the sound insulation liner 34 that is formed by the elastomeric element as the rubber etc. that clamps body be installed.Gap between these sound insulation liner 34 sealing front panels 7 and the block 33, and the tab 34a that gives prominence in the side contacts with the side plate 80 in kitchen.Thus, can prevent the transversion malposition of dish-washing machine, even and under the situation of dish-washing machine vibration, this vibration still is difficult to pass to the side plate 80 in kitchen, also can alleviate noise.In addition, owing to, the gap between front panel 7 and the casing 1 is sealed by this sound insulation liner 34, so also prevent the intrusion of undesirable insect etc. effectively, and when cleaning running, be difficult to leak into the outside in the casing 1 inner various operating sound that produce, for realizing that quiet is useful.In addition, best, in the rear portion side of casing 1, the elastomeric element with the tab that contacts with side plate 80 is set also equally.

But in Fig. 5 and Figure 13, to the two side 1a of casing 1 and the bottom 1b mode according to bight 1c bending, the occasion that is formed by 1 block of sheet material is described, but in this dish-washing machine, it is not a plate member.That is, as shown in figure 17, just make symmetrical basically 2 plate member 100a of cutting apart by vertical plane longitudinally, 100b place in the middle of the bottom is involutory, by modes such as welding they is engaged.Place in the middle of the 1b of bottom is as the reason of junction: in order to ensure intensity (rigidity), crooked bight 1c is avoided in the junction.

Two side 1a and bottom 1b by 1 plate member formation casing 1 necessarily require to adopt the sizable metallic plate that is of a size of about 1600 * 600mm.Such plate member is by steel plate cutting cylindraceous, and still, size is big more, and utilization rate is low more, and the ratio of discarded steel plate is high more.In addition, if even the plate member of cutting has defective at 1 position, will it discard, but size is big more, the probability with defective is high more, and equally in this regard, discarded amount is high more.To this, in this dish-washing machine, because the two side 1a of casing 1 and bottom 1b be by 2 plate member 100a, 100b forms, so the size of a plate member is about 1/2, and the utilization rate raising, the ratio of the steel plate of being discarded significantly reduces.In addition, the probability with defective also reduces, even have under the situation of defective, the amount of being discarded is half amount.As, in this dish-washing machine, owing to can improve the utilization rate of material, so the aspect of resources effective utilization also is good.

Below with reference to Figure 18～Figure 20, the structure as the tableware basket 4 of the another feature of this dish-washing machine is described.

In this tableware basket 4, be provided with top shelf 41, the axle 40 that this top shelf 41 can be extended along fore-and-aft direction is used for placing a cup tool for the center rotates, at the forefront of this top shelf 41, according to can axle 42 modes of rotating being provided with detergent container 43 for the center.This detergent container 43 is the plate-like of whole top opening, and the bottommost in the bottom surface that tilts along a direction offers the tap hole 43a that washing agent flows out.The bowl tool of the front side in the bottom basket admits basket 45 with identical with above-mentioned

axle

40,42, and the axle 44 that extends along fore-and-aft direction rotates for the center.

As shown in figure 12,2 bottom is forward right-hand in the washing chamber, is provided with filter 15, in order to throw away the residue of being collected by this filter 15, must take the 15a of the portion that wins of filter 15 with hand, with its 2 taking-ups from the washing chamber.Directly over filter 15, be provided with tableware basket 4, can not be same as before, filter 15 is taken out, if but as shown in Figure 2, make bowl tool admit basket 45 rotations and it is erected, then as shown in figure 19, the top of the 15a of the portion that wins of filter 15 is opened wide largely.Therefore, in this state (or, the state that top shelf 41 is also rotated), the user can be easily from above, take the 15a of the portion that wins of this filter 15 by finger, laterally the changing of the relative positions time, it is taken.

In this dish-washing machine, particularly since should be revolving bowl tool admit the axle 44 of basket 45 to extend along fore-and-aft direction, so when being to extract washing chamber 2 out under the effect of applied force, the bowl tool admits baskets 45 to be difficult to rotate, and thus, can prevent that tableware from rocking.In addition, because

whole axle

40,42,44 extends along same direction, so when the user operates, understand easily that also operability is higher.

With reference to the accompanying drawings, the dish-washing machine to another embodiment of the present invention (below be called " the 2nd embodiment ") is described.The difference of the dish-washing machine of the dish-washing machine of the 2nd embodiment and above-mentioned the 1st embodiment is the formation of top cover driving mechanism for opening or closing.Figure 21 is the side pie graph of major part of top cover driving mechanism for opening or closing of the dish-washing machine of the 2nd embodiment, and Figure 22 is a front view.In addition, identical with above-mentioned the 1st embodiment, or suitable component part adopts same label, and the Therefore, omited is to its description.

In the dish-washing machine of the 2nd embodiment, with about parallel linkage connect, driving force traction by torque motor, lax this connecting portion, thus, carry out the on-off action of top cover 5, so that replacement is lax by the traction of the manually operated steel wire of attended operation bar, make the parallel linkage action, the mode that top cover 5 is moved up and down.

In this dish-washing machine, by screw 6c, rotatably be articulated in the connecting rod 6 that comprises the connecting portion that forms parallel linkage, left and right sides action plate 20 on 6 ' is by realizing connecting by the connecting plate parts 50 that are provided with under the diapire of washing chamber 2, torque motor 54, by 2

pulleys

52,53, the steel wire rope 51 that traction is connected with the basic middle place of the bottom of these connecting plate parts 50.That is, here, action plate 20 and connecting plate parts 50 are used as above-mentioned bindiny mechanism, steel wire rope 51, and

pulley

52,53 and torque motor 54 are as above-mentioned driving mechanism.

If torque motor 54 starts, haulage cable 51, the action plate 20 that then passes through connecting plate parts 50 both sides is resisted the bias force of helical springs 21, and along continuous straight runs moves basically towards the rear.Thus, in above-mentioned the 1st embodiment, make action bars 11 identical along the occasion of stop direction rotation, by the effect of parallel linkage, top cover 5 substantially perpendicularly descends, and top cover 5 stops the position end face opening 3 of washing chamber 2 can be closed.

When extracting washing chamber 2 out,, make torque motor 54 stop to drive prior to this action.So steel wire rope 51 is lax, removes the traction of connecting plate parts 50, thus, by the bias force of helical spring 21, connecting plate parts 50 move towards front side, follow this situation, by parallel linkage, top cover 5 substantially perpendicularly rises, and leaves with washing chamber 2.

In addition, in this constituted, only when torque motor 54 started, top cover 5 was closed the end face opening 3 of washing chamber 2.So, preferably shorten actuation time of torque motor 54 as much as possible, so that save electric power, prolong the useful life of torque motor 54 etc.For example, torque motor 54 can start when the beginning switch that cleans running is operated, and after running finishes, after the suitable time more than needed, stops apace driving.That is, as operating procedure, the user is received in tableware in the tableware basket 4 in the washing chamber 2, and then, the inside with washing chamber 2 is pressed into casing 1 fully rotates to stop position with action bars 11.At this state, by the extraction of arresting lever 12 prevention washing chambers 2, still, top cover 5 is still stayed the position of leaving washing chamber 2.In addition, the operation that the user stipulates by guidance panel 9 is operated the switch of running beginning, and then, torque motor 54 starts, and as mentioned above, top cover 5 is closed.Afterwards, water is sent to washing chamber 2, begins to clean running.

In addition, the dish-washing machine of the 2nd embodiment can as described belowly carry out conversion, and Figure 23 is the side pie graph of major part of top cover driving mechanism for opening or closing of the dish-washing machine of the 3rd embodiment, and Figure 24 is the vertical view of major part of the periphery of action bars 11.In addition, identical with above-mentioned the 1st, the 2 embodiment, or suitable component part adopts same label, and the Therefore, omited is to its description.

In the dish-washing machine of the 3rd embodiment, the driving mechanism for opening or closing of top cover 5 is identical with the 2nd embodiment.In the 3rd embodiment, further, the end of the steel wire rope of steel wire 23 is by helical spring 22, and pulley 55 is fixed in the leading section of action plate 20.Steel wire 23 is identical with the 1st embodiment, through gathering sill 24, is sent to the place ahead, and still, the peripheral structure of action bars 11 is different with the 1st embodiment.That is, as shown in figure 24, action bars 11 can axle 25a be that the center rotates, and still, stop position is complete opposite with releasing position and above-mentioned the 1st embodiment's.Helical spring 27 is removed the position with rotary part 25 biasings so that action bars 11 arrives.

Stop to drive at torque motor 54, when top cover 5 was positioned at the position of leaving with washing chamber 2, the steel wire rope of steel wire 23 was lax, and not to rotary part 25 active forces, thus, under the effect of the bias force of helical spring 27, action bars 11 is positioned at removes the position.As mentioned above, if torque motor 54 starts, then action plate 20 moves towards the rear.So, the steel wire rope of traction steel wire 23, rotary part 25 is resisted the bias force of helical springs 27 and is rotated, and action bars 11 arrives stop positions.Thus, arresting lever 12 stops the extraction of washing chamber 2.That is, constitute,, and make action bars 11 rotations, can carry out the stop or the releasing of washing chamber 2 corresponding to the startup of torque motor 54/stop to realize the switching of top cover 5 according to this.So, can under the situation of the operation of the action bars 11 that does not rely on the user, in cleaning operation process, stop the extraction of washing chamber 2 really.

In addition, in the dish-washing machine of the 1st embodiment, for fear of the protuberance 82a of the sidewall 82 of mounting table 81, the bight 1c of casing 1 is bending, still, if not with scope that bottom cover of the washing chamber 2 of inboard etc. contacts in, then can form different shape.Figure 25 forms the embodiment of chamfering according to the mode of cutting obliquely for the face of bight 1c.In addition, Figure 26 is to avoid the embodiment of protuberance 82a towards inside bend.Obviously know,, also realize the effect identical with the 1st embodiment by such formation.

In addition, in the dish-washing machine of the 1st embodiment, the cross section that is inserted into the reinforcing member 32 in the following joint hollow bulb 31b of liner 31 is L-shaped, but also can be as shown in figure 27, and its cross section is pure rectangle.

Also have,,, except above-described embodiment, also can carry out suitable conversion and improvement within the scope of the invention so obviously know because the various embodiments described above only are an embodiment.
