DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cleaning tank provided in a main body with a front opening and a storage basket inserted thereinto, and a door for opening and closing a front opening of the cleaning tank on the front of the main body. For example, the present invention relates to a washing machine such as a table-top dishwasher.

[0002]

In a washing machine, for example, a so-called desk-type dishwasher installed on a worktop (top plate) of a system kitchen, a depth dimension in the front-rear direction has recently been reduced to about 25 to 40 cm. Some of them have been provided in the form of a shape to save installation space. An example of such a thing is shown in FIG. In this apparatus, a washing tank 2 is provided in a main body 1 having a thin rectangular box shape in the front-rear direction, and a mechanism (not shown) for washing and drying tableware stored in the washing tank 2 is provided. It is configured.

A door 3 for opening and closing a front opening of the cleaning tank 2 is provided on a front surface of the main body 1. The door 3 is pivotally supported at its lower part by the main body 1 and opens forward in a substantially horizontal state. And the washing tank 2
Inside, a tableware storage basket for supporting tableware is housed so as to be able to be taken in and out, and in a state where the door 3 is opened, the tableware storage basket can be pulled out to put the tableware in and out. I can do it. In addition, body 1
An operation panel 4 is provided at a lower portion of the door 3 on the front surface of the device. Further, on the outer bottom surface of the main body 1, legs (not shown) are provided at four corners, and the legs are mounted on the installation surface.

However, in the above configuration, when the door 3 is opened and the tableware storage basket is pulled out, the center of gravity may move to the front side and become unstable. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a configuration for preventing the vehicle from falling forward. Therefore, conventionally, the main body 1 is attached to the outer bottom of the main body 1.
Is provided with an auxiliary leg 5 extending forward to prevent the vehicle from falling forward. The auxiliary leg 5 is separately attached as an accessory. The auxiliary leg 5 is provided at the bottom of the main body 1 so as to be able to be taken in and out by sliding. I have.

[0005] However, the configuration in which the accessory auxiliary leg 5 is provided has the following disadvantages. That is, since the auxiliary leg 5 has a relatively large forward projection length (for example, 150 mm), even if the auxiliary leg 5 is to be installed at a site where the depth dimension is limited, such as on a bay window of a kitchen or on a facing counter, for example, In some cases, the auxiliary leg 5 protrudes but cannot be installed even though the device 1 itself can be installed. In this case, since the main body 1 itself can be installed by the legs at the bottom thereof, there is a possibility that the auxiliary leg 5 is used in a state where it does not contact the installation surface and does not function sufficiently.
May be overlooked or installed without noticing the existence of the auxiliary leg 5. Also, close to the right end of the body 1
Since only the auxiliary legs 5 are provided, the installation state tends to be unstable even when the apparatus can be installed in a normal state.

Although not shown, the longitudinal dimension is 40 mm.
The standard size of about 50 cm has a structure in which a weight is provided at the rear part in the main body. Further, in the case of a floor-standing dishwasher, the auxiliary legs extend forward in conjunction with the opening of the door. There were also movable ones that came. However,
Providing the former weight disadvantageously increases the size of the main body and increases the weight more than necessary. On the other hand, in the case of the latter having the movable auxiliary legs, when installed near the sink, there is a possibility that the protruded auxiliary legs may fall on the sink (space portion) and not exert the effect of preventing falling, Further, when the auxiliary legs come out, there is a problem that a cooking tool such as a kitchen knife placed on the worktop is pushed away.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a door which can be opened and closed on a front surface of a main body, which can be stably installed without using auxiliary legs of accessories. To provide a washing machine that can be used.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a washing machine having a washing tank in a main body, the front surface of which is opened and a storage basket is put in and out.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the main body from being installed at a position where stability is poor. be able to.

In this case, it is preferable that the support member is provided so as to be housed in the lower part of the main body.
According to this, by storing the support member, the support member can be prevented from protruding from the main body, so that the product can be made compact when packing. Further, it is preferable that the support members are provided at the left and right end portions of the main body. According to this, the main body can be supported in a stable state by the support members located on the left and right sides of the main body, and even if both the left and right support members protrude from the front surface of the main body, the space between the two support members can be provided. Can be widely used. For example, when the main body is installed beside the sink, it can be widely used on the sink.

Preferably, the supporting member is housed in a state of being parallel to the front surface of the main body or parallel to the side surface of the main body. In the case where the support member is housed so as to be parallel to the front surface of the main body, the support member can be easily pulled out from the front of the main body, and the operability is good. In addition, when the support member is housed so as to be parallel to the side surface of the main body, even when the support member is extended forward, the external appearance from the front can be neatly displayed, and it can be seen clearly.

As in the fifth aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that the ground contact portion is formed of a leg portion projecting downward. According to this, when the leg is not in contact with the installation surface, it is easily known that the leg is in contact with the installation surface, so that the installation can be reliably performed with the leg in contact with the installation surface. In this case, it is preferable that the leg is provided on each of the lower surface of the portion corresponding to the rotation center of the support member and the lower surface of the distal end portion. According to this, in a state where the supporting member is in a position where the front end thereof projects forward from the front surface of the main body, the normal weight of the main body in a state where the door is closed is lower than the rotation center of the supporting member. When the storage basket is pulled out with the door opened and the door opened, the strength of the support member can be improved since the legs on the tip end side of the support member prevent the main body from falling forward. Further, it is preferable that the height can be adjusted by fitting an annular or cap-shaped spacer to the leg portion as in the invention of claim 7. According to this,
The height can be adjusted with a simple configuration, and the main body can be installed in a favorable state.

The invention according to claim 8 is characterized in that the support member is provided with a rotation shaft serving as the center of rotation thereof, and the main body is provided with a support portion for rotatably supporting the rotation shaft. Have.
According to this, the structure in which the support member can be rotated can be achieved with a very simple structure. The invention of claim 9 is
It is characterized in that articulating means for providing a click feeling when the support member is rotated is provided between the support member and the main body. According to this, the support member can be favorably held at the predetermined rotation position, and when the support member is rotated, the support member has an edge and is easy to use. Can be given. The invention according to claim 10 is characterized in that a front plate is provided on the front surface of the main body below the door, and the support member is provided below the front plate. .

According to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, the main body is provided with a fixture mounting portion, and the support member is rotatable in the front-rear direction, and has a grounding portion on a lower surface of a tip portion. The present invention is characterized in that the support member is fixed to the installation portion by a fixing device attached to the fixing device attachment portion in a state where the support member is rotated so that the tip end thereof is directed rearward. According to this, for example, when the main body is installed in a narrow space beside the sink, the rotation center of the front part of the main body and the support member is located in the space above the sink. Even if the support member is rotated so that the distal end of the support member faces rearward, and the grounding portion of the distal end of the support member is in contact with the installation surface, the fixing member mounting portion of the main body may be used. By fixing the main body to the installation portion with the attached fixing device, the main body can be installed in a narrow space beside the sink.
