[0008]

The above dishwasher / dryer of the conventional configuration has the following problems with regard to the storage capacity of the objects to be washed, particularly with respect to their types and shapes. Among the objects to be washed, the shape of tableware is varied, including deep dishes such as teacups, soup bowls, and teacups, and dishes and glasses having various diameters. Therefore, in a conventional dishwasher / dryer, as shown in FIG. 17, a bowl, a soup bowl, and dishes are placed on the bottom surface of the dish basket 60, that is, a main storage portion, on a shelf 69 connected to the side surface of the dish basket. Glasses and teacups are stored, and this storage method is also common in that cleaning performance and drying performance are easily obtained.

However, if deep bowls such as a tea bowl and a soup bowl are arranged on the same plane, a large area is required for storage. That is, since many of these have a depth about twice or more as compared with the dishes, the interval between the storage of the bowls (also referred to as the storage pitch) is at least as large as at least. On the other hand, as a dishwasher, it is necessary that both the entire projected area and the height are small due to restrictions on the installation place. Therefore, the projected area of the dish basket 60 determined from the projected area of the dishwasher is small, and it cannot be said that the required number of deep dishes can be stored.

[0010] In addition, when a plurality of deep dishes are arranged,
The last tableware requires a lot of storage space,
The number of points that can be stored in the same area is reduced. Therefore, they are generally stored in a row. Due to the above-described restrictions, when a conventional dishwasher includes a deep dish such as a tea bowl or a soup bowl, the number of dishes that can be stored is small, and sufficient usability has not been obtained.

Therefore, the following measures have been found as means for realizing a tableware basket corresponding to the tableware shape. Regarding the pin shape of the tableware basket, refer to
No. 6225 proposes an apparatus in which the distance between pins on the upper and lower sides (substantially both sides) of a tableware basket is changed in order to correspond to the type of tableware to be stored. In addition, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 4-348733 proposes a tableware basket which is upside down and can be used on both sides. However, none of them enables the number of storages to be increased in a state where various dishes are mixed, and is selected according to the dishes.

The shape of the shelf connected to the side surface of the tableware basket is often a flat storage portion as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-164106, and is for storing glasses and teacups. There are many. The present invention solves the problems of the conventional dishwasher and dryer as described above. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a dishwasher and dryer in which the number of items to be washed can be increased by the configuration of the dish basket and the shelf.

[0013]

According to the present invention, there is provided a dishwasher comprising: a washing tank in which a dish basket for storing an object to be washed is provided;
A washing nozzle that injects washing water, a washing pump that pressurizes the washing water, a lid that closes an opening at the front of the washing tank, a shelf formed along the side of the dish basket, a soup bowl, It is characterized in that a first bowl storage portion for storing deep dishes such as a bowl in a single row state is provided.

According to the present invention, the first bowl storage section for storing deep dishes such as soup bowls and tea bowls in a single row is provided on the shelf connected to the side surface of the tableware basket. These deep dishes can be efficiently stored in a small space not only on the bottom but also on the shelf, so that a dishwasher with an increased number of storages in a washing tank of the same size can be provided.

[0015]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The invention according to claim 1 comprises a box-shaped washing tank in which a dish basket for storing an object to be washed is housed, a washing nozzle for jetting washing water, and a washing pump for pressurizing the washing water.

These deep dishes can be efficiently stored in a small space on the shelves in addition to the bottom surface of the dishwasher. Therefore, it is possible to provide a dishwasher and dryer having the same size as the washing tank and the outer dimensions and having a higher number of storage points.

In particular, since a large number of deep dishes can be stored, a dishwasher and dryer suitable for eating habits centered on Japanese food including rice and miso soup is realized. Of course, the number of dishes to be stored is the same as that of the conventional dishwasher, and a dishwasher with reduced external dimensions can be realized. According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the first aspect, the second bowl storage portion is formed in the tableware basket in a state substantially parallel to the first bowl storage portion of the shelf, and the second bowl is provided.

Wash things. In addition, the first bowl storage section and the second bowl storage section are in a substantially parallel state, and it is possible to spray the tableware in any of the storage sections from the same ejection port of the rotating washing nozzle. Therefore, it is possible to realize a dishwasher that can efficiently wash a large amount of dishes with a small amount of water power.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in addition to any one of the first to second aspects, the first bowl storage portion is formed in a row in a direction substantially the same as the direction in which the tableware basket is pulled out. A distinctive dishwasher and dryer. Usually, when a user pulls out a dish basket from a washing tank and stores or removes an object to be washed, the user often works while standing on the side of the dish basket. This is because the space in the narrow kitchen is small in front of the drawn-out tableware basket, and it is difficult for the user to work away from the worktop of the kitchen.

In the present invention, in particular, when the tableware basket is pulled out, the first bowl storage portion of the shelf is arranged in front of the user in parallel with the body, so that the rotation of the user's wrist is reduced. The burden of is small. In order to reduce the storage pitch and storage space for such deep tableware, the pin shape and storage pitch were originally adopted so that the tableware was stored in the table basket while the tableware was slightly rotated. Things. Therefore, such a configuration in the arrangement direction that can reduce the rotation of the wrist is effective in reducing the work load.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to any one of the first to third aspects of the present invention, the washing nozzle comprises a first washing nozzle below the dish basket and a second washing nozzle above the shelf. It is a dishwasher characterized by having done. In the present invention, in particular, since the object to be cleaned can be cleaned from above and below and from a short distance by jetting from both the first cleaning nozzle and the second cleaning nozzle, a predetermined cleaning performance can be obtained at a lower pressure. That is, the large-diameter dishes placed on the bottom of the tableware basket are surely washed at the top by spraying from the second washing nozzle.

In particular, for washing deep dishes,
The nozzle of the washing nozzle needs to be ejected from a position below a predetermined distance from the object to be washed and at a certain angle, and the second washing nozzle can efficiently wash the soup bowls on the shelf. On the other hand, when the pressure of the injection from the first cleaning nozzle and the second cleaning nozzle is increased, as described above, cleaning is performed by efficiently jetting from each injection port from a short distance. Therefore, the predetermined cleaning performance can be obtained in a shorter time than when the injection pressure is increased by a single cleaning nozzle.

That is, in the present invention, by increasing the cleaning efficiency, it is possible to achieve a quiet operation sound for cleaning at a lower pressure, or to shorten the cleaning time by cleaning at a higher pressure. According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dishwasher / dryer according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the shelf is rotatable substantially in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the tableware basket. It is.

In the present invention, in particular, even when the height of the cleaning tank, which is a factor restricting the height of the rotatable shelf, is the same, the shelf is formed in parallel with the long side so that the shelf can be mounted on the shelf. The number of tableware that can be stored is larger than that of a shelf parallel to the short side direction. Of course, the storage space at the lower part of the shelf is under the condition of substantially the same height. At the same time, by making the shelf capable of storing deep tableware rotatable, the shelf can be rotated and leaned. At this time, the storage space extends upward, so that the storage dimensions of the cooking utensils and tableware can be increased and the usability can be improved at the same time.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in addition to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the dishwasher is further characterized in that a hook for accommodating an object to be washed is provided on the back surface of the shelf. It is to be. In this invention, in particular, when the shelf is turned upright, cooking utensils such as a measuring spoon and a turner can be stored in the hooks on the back surface of the shelf.
