DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a support for supporting tableware and cooking equipment and a device for accommodating tableware.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, for the operation of accommodating tableware and cooking equipment, for example, the operation of accommodating tableware in a dishwasher, it is necessary to fit a plate or a bowl one by one into a support attached to a tableware basket or the like. There must be. At this time, when setting the tableware in the tableware basket, it is necessary to work carefully and avoid interference because the tip of the support tool in front interferes with the tableware and the hands and arms holding the tableware and it is difficult to put it in In addition, the operator had to change the position and direction of the body and twist the arm. The task of accommodating tableware in this way is a task that is burdensome mentally and physically.

To solve this problem, for example,
A dish basket of a dishwasher as described in JP-A-4-161132 is generally used. As shown in FIG. 4, the tableware basket has an upper frame 100 of the tableware basket, and the upper frame 100 is lower than the first horizontal member 101 on the front side and the first horizontal member 101 extending left and right on the back side. A second lateral member 102 provided at the position and extending to the left and right, a pair of side members 103 connecting each end of the first lateral member 101 and the second lateral member 102, and inclining lower from back to front; 104, the horizontal members 101 and 102 are inclined downward from one end to the other end, and the one end of the first horizontal member 101 is the highest and the other end of the second horizontal member 102 is First and second so that the part is the lowest
Lateral members 101, 102, and a pair of side members 103,
104 is configured to be inclined.

In the above-mentioned tableware basket, the upper frame 100 has the second horizontal member 102 on the near side rather than the first horizontal member 101 on the back side.
In order to improve the workability, the distance between the table and the ceiling of the washing room is increased so that the upper frame 100 does not hinder the work when the tableware is taken in and out.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional tableware basket, the second horizontal member 102 in front of the upper frame 100 is provided low so as not to be in the way, but the tableware provided inside the basket is supported. There is no solution for the pins to be used. When setting tableware on conventional tableware support pins,
Not only the height of the lateral members of the outer frame of the car but also the height of the tableware support pins provided inside the car interferes with the work. The tableware support pin that stands in front interferes with the tableware and the worker's body and obstructs it, restricting the direction in which the tableware is inserted, and straddling the tableware so that it does not interfere with the tableware support pin in front of the tableware. Was set. FIG. 5 shows the locus at this time by an arrow.

[0006] As shown here, the tableware 111 is supported by guide members 112 and 113 which form a pair and support the surface of the tableware 111. Reference numerals 114 and 115 denote peripheral end supporting members for supporting the peripheral end of the tableware 111, respectively, and 116 denotes a bottom frame material. Arrows 117 and 118 are trajectories of the flow line at the center of the tableware 111 when the tableware 111 is inserted.

[0007] When inserting the tableware 111 so as to draw the locus 117, the insertion direction of the tableware 111 is regulated by the guide member 112 in the foreground, and the guide member 112 and the tableware 111 in the foreground are further restricted.
It was necessary to twist the wrists and work carefully so as not to interfere with the body of the worker. In order to avoid this, if an insertion operation is performed so as to straddle above the guide member 112, a locus 118 is drawn. At this time, the tableware 111 is moved to the ceiling inside the storage device or the guide member 1 in the foreground.
12 easily interfered. As a result, there has been a problem that a wrong entry is required and a re-insertion operation is required, and a mental and physical burden is imposed on the operator.

Further, the locus 118 has two bending points A and B which are almost perpendicular to each other, and does not connect the distance between the guide member and the worker at the shortest distance.
It is necessary to bend the wrist of the worker having the eleventh at a steep angle, so that there is a problem that the physical burden on the worker is large and the work time is long.

Further, since the highest point of the trajectory 118 reaches the height of L2, the height of the storage equipment storage is higher than the height of L2, that is, the height of the tableware 111 raised to just above the guide member 112 is further increased. There was a problem that the configuration had to have a margin.

[0010]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the tableware accommodating apparatus of the present invention is provided with a support in which the height of a guide member located in front of the same tableware in the insertion direction of the guide member is reduced. It is characterized by the following.

According to the above invention, since the height of the guide member at the front is low, the locus passes through a low position without being disturbed by the guide member at the time of inserting the tableware, so that an arc shape is drawn. Therefore, the bending point is eliminated, and the working flow line can be shortened.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the first aspect of the present invention, among a plurality of guide members for guiding the surface of the same tableware, the height of a guide member located in front of the insertion direction is reduced. The supporting device is provided on the accommodation device.

Since the height of the guide member before the insertion direction is low, a locus that passes through a low position when tableware is inserted is drawn,
Since the front end of the guide member and the tableware and the body of the worker hardly interfere with each other, the work can be performed easily. Further, since the trajectory draws an arc shape, the bending point is eliminated, and the work flow line can be shortened. Thereby, the mental burden and the physical burden of the worker are reduced.

[0014] In the invention of claim 2, in addition to the invention of claim 1, the accommodating device is a tableware dryer, and the tableware can be dried.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the first aspect of the present invention, the accommodating device is a dishwasher, so that the dishes can be washed.

[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 shows Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of a tableware inserting operation into a tableware provided in a tableware dryer, in which a trajectory of an operation of inserting a tableware by a worker is indicated by a dotted arrow. FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of only the tableware support of FIG.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a tableware dryer for opening and closing a front door in front of an insertion direction, reference numeral 2 denotes tableware, reference numeral 3 denotes a first tableware support, and reference numeral 4 denotes a tableware guide for a tableware surface. Reference numeral 5 denotes a second guide member. Reference numeral 6 denotes a first peripheral end support member for supporting the peripheral end of the tableware. Reference numeral 7 denotes a second peripheral end support member. The bottom of the first tableware support 3 is formed in a grid shape orthogonal to the bottom frame member 8. are doing. The first guide member 4 and the second guide member 5 stand vertically at the intersection of the first peripheral end support member 6, the second peripheral end support member 7, and the bottom frame member 8, respectively. I have. Reference numeral 9 denotes a first fixing base for fixing the first peripheral end support member 6 to the bottom surface of the dish dryer 1 main body, and reference numeral 10 denotes a second fixing base for fixing the second peripheral end support member 7 and the main body bottom surface of the dish dryer 1. 2 is a fixed base. Arrow 11 is a locus of the center of tableware 2 formed when tableware 2 is inserted.

Next, the operation and operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, when the tableware 2 is inserted into the first tableware support 3 built in the tableware dryer 1, the trajectory draws an arrow 11.
At this time, the first guide member 4 located in front of the tableware insertion direction is shorter than the second guide member 5, and the height of the guide member is low. Therefore, the tip of the first guide member 4 does not easily interfere with the tableware 2 or the body of the worker, so that an arc-shaped trajectory passing through a low position is drawn as indicated by an arrow 11. The highest height of L1 in this arc-shaped locus is the locus 11 inserted into the conventional support pins 112 and 113 as shown in FIG.
8, the bending point generated in the locus is gentle, and the locus length is short.

As described above, since the height of the first guide member 4 of the first tableware supporter 3 located in front of the tableware dryer 1 is low, the front end interferes with the tableware 2 and the body of the worker. The physical and mental burdens on the body are also reduced, the working time is shortened, and the workability is improved. And the tableware 2 is first and second
Of the tableware 2 when the tableware 2 is inserted, the height of the highest point at the center of the tableware 2 when the tableware 2 is inserted is L1.
And becomes lower than the height of the highest point L2 of the locus 118 shown in FIG. Even if the ceiling height of the tableware dryer 1 is lower than that of the conventional one, the tableware and the ceiling of the tableware dryer 1 are less likely to interfere with each other. The amount of tableware and the like can be increased.

In the present embodiment, the tableware 2 is mainly described. However, it does not matter if the tableware 2 is replaced with cooking equipment.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 3 shows Embodiment 2 of the present invention. 12 is a dishwasher for opening and closing the front door in front of the insertion direction, 13 is tableware, 14 is a second tableware support tool, 15 is a third guide member for guiding the tableware surface, and 16 is a fourth tableware. The guide members have the same length. Reference numeral 17 denotes a third peripheral end support member for supporting the peripheral end of the tableware. Reference numeral 18 denotes a fourth peripheral end support member. The bottom of the second tableware support 14 is formed in a grid shape perpendicular to the bottom frame member 19. are doing. The third guide member 15 and the fourth guide member 16 are respectively connected to a third peripheral end support member 17.
And at the intersection of the fourth peripheral end support member 18 and the bottom frame member 19, it stands vertically. Reference numeral 20 denotes a third fixing table for fixing the third peripheral end support member 17 to the bottom surface of the dishwasher 12 body.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a fourth fixing base for fixing the fourth peripheral end support member 18 and the bottom surface of the main body of the dishwasher 12. Fourth fixed base 21
Is higher than the third fixed base, so that the third guide member 15 and the fourth guide member 16 are erected, and the third peripheral end support member 17 and the fourth peripheral end Support member 18
And the lattice surface composed of the bottom frame 19 is inclined low before the insertion direction.

Next, the operation and operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, since the third guide member 15 located in front of the tableware 13 in the insertion direction has a lower standing position than the fourth guide member 16, even if the length of the guide member is the same. The height of the tip of the guide member is low. For this reason, when the operation of inserting the tableware 13 into the second tableware support 14 built into the tableware washing machine 12 is performed, the distal end of the third guide member 15 does not easily interfere with the tableware 13 and the body of the worker. Therefore, an arc-shaped trajectory passing through a low position is drawn.

As described above, since the height of the third guide member 15 of the second dish support tool 14 located on the front side of the dishwasher 12 in the insertion direction is low, this tip and the dish 13 and the body of the worker are in contact with each other. Also, the physical and mental burdens of being easily interfered are reduced, the working time is shortened, and the workability is improved.

[0025]

As described above, in the housing apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, the height of the guide member at the front of the insertion direction is low, so that when the tableware is inserted, the tip of the guide member at the front and the tableware and the work are removed. Since the body of the person is less likely to interfere, work becomes easier.

Further, since the locus of the insertion operation also passes through a low position and draws an arc shape, the bending point is eliminated and the working flow line can be shortened. Therefore, workability is improved, and the mental and physical burdens of the worker are reduced.
