Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dishwasher that steam which is generated at the time of washing dishes or at the time of drying them from a dishwasher housed under a built-in range, is prevented from moistening the clothes of a cooking person using the range. SOLUTION: A steam discharging cylinder 3 for discharging steam 142 generated in a washing housing 20 at the time of washing or drying dishes is provided on the upper surface side of a housing from the housing 20. The cylinder 3 projecting from the housing is extended to an opening part 11 formed on the side of the wall 6 of a top plate 8. The steam discharging port 5 of the cylinder 3 positioned by a grill exhaust port 12 at the part 11 of the plate 8 is formed. Since the port 5 is positioned beside the port 12 at the part 11 of the plate 8, there is no fear that steam 42 is given to the person cooking at the range, and steam 142 is efficiently collected by a range hood 16 to discharge to the outside of a kitchen.

2. Description of the Related Art Dishwashers for washing dishes provided for meals have been widely used not only for business purposes but also for general households. In a dishwasher, hot water containing a cleaning agent is sprayed at a predetermined pressure on dishes arranged in a washing cabinet to wash away the oil and food remaining on the dishes and to wash the dishes. Then, when the dishwashing is completed, warm air is circulated through the dishes in the washing cabinet, so that the washed dishes can be dried.

There are two types of dishwashers: an external type and a built-in type. Generally, an external dishwasher is provided with a water supply pipe for supplying water for cleaning, which is branched from the tap of the kitchen, and a drain pipe for discharging the cleaning liquid after washing the dishes is connected to the sink. Often placed near the counter next to the sink. On the other hand, the built-in type dishwasher is provided with a dedicated water supply / drainage pipe, so that it can be incorporated into an arbitrary position of a storage section provided below the system kitchen.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which a built-in type dishwasher is stored in a storage section below the built-in stove, and shows a stove, the dishwasher, and a cross section around them. As shown in FIG.
Numeral 0 is stored below a built-in stove 104 built in the upper part of the cabinet 102. Cabinet 102 is placed close to the wall 106 of the kitchen,
A sink, a cooking table, and the like are arranged on both sides or one direction side of the cabinet 102 along the line 6. Cabinet 1

In FIG. 8, a gotoku 110 on which a cooking pot (not shown) is placed is placed. A grill 114 used for grilling is attached to the bottom of the stove 104.

The top plate 108 of the stove 104 has a wall 106
An opening 111 is formed on the side. An opening 111 has a grill outlet 112 for discharging combustion gas and smoke burned in a chamber of a grill 114 provided at the bottom of the stove 104.
Is located. Further, when an oven is incorporated in the cabinet 102 instead of the dishwasher 100,
A space is provided in which an oven exhaust stack for exhausting combustion gas and smoke from the oven can be installed. Further, the opening 111 of the top plate 108 is provided with a space adjacent to the grill exhaust port 112 in which an exhaust port of an oven exhaust tube can be provided.

[0006] Above the stove 104, a range hood 1 is provided.
A gas burner and grill exhaust port 112 of the stove 104 below the range hood 116 are provided in the hood.
A ventilation fan (not shown) is provided for sucking combustion gas and smoke from the outside and discharging the gas to the outside of the kitchen.

A space for accommodating tableware (not shown) placed in a tableware basket 122 is provided in a washing cabinet 120 of the dishwasher 100. A water suction pipe 135 for supplying water for cleaning into this space is connected to the cleaning chamber 120
It is plumbed up. Tableware to be cleaned is a tableware basket 12
2 and carried into the washing chamber 120 from the door 124. A rotating arm 128 having a spray nozzle 126 for spraying hot water toward the tableware is rotatably mounted below the tableware basket 122 stored in the washing cabinet 120. In addition, the warm water stored at the bottom of the washing box 120 is pumped below the washing box 120,
A water supply pump 130 that supplies hot water to the injection nozzle 126 via a pipe in the rotating arm 128 is attached. Further, a drainage pump 132 for discharging cleaning water after cleaning is attached below the cleaning chamber 120. The cleaning liquid drained by the drain pump 132 is discharged outside through the water pipe 136. In addition, in order to dry the dishes after washing the dishes in the dishwasher 100,
A drying fan 138 for introducing outside air into the cleaning chamber 120 and a heater (not shown) are attached.

[0008] Above the door 124, the steam 1 generated in the washing chamber 120 when washing or drying the dishes is washed.
A steam outlet 140 is provided for discharging 42.

[0009]

The steam outlet 140 of the dishwasher 100 housed under the built-in stove 104 is provided toward the front of the cabinet 102. Therefore, when cooking is performed using the stove 104 while the dishwasher 100 is cleaning and drying the dishes, the steam 142 from the dishwasher 100 is blown out toward the cooker. . Therefore, stove 1
During cooking using the 04, the clothes of the cook are exposed to the steam 142 and become wet, which may cause discomfort to the cook and prevent the user from being able to concentrate on cooking. Further, even if the ventilation fan in the range hood 116 above the stove 104 is operating, the steam blown out from below the stove 104 is hardly sucked and diffuses into the kitchen, causing a problem that the humidity in the kitchen rises. .

An object of the present invention is to provide a dishwasher in which steam generated during dishwashing or drying from a dishwasher housed under a built-in stove does not wet the clothes of a cook using the stove. Is to provide. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a dishwasher in which a dishwasher housed below a built-in stove can efficiently collect and discharge steam generated at the time of washing or drying a dish to the outside. It is in.

[0011]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a dishwasher for washing and drying dishes in a washing cabinet in a housing, wherein a steam outlet for discharging steam generated in the washing cabinet is used to transfer the dishes to the washing cabinet. This is achieved by a dishwasher, which is provided on a housing surface other than the installation surface of a door for carrying in and out.

In the dishwasher of the present invention, the housing is disposed below a stove incorporated above the cabinet, and the steam outlet is a tip of a steam exhaust pipe protruding from an upper portion of the housing. It is characterized by being located at the opening of the top plate of the stove.
