【００１６】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の一実施例について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
【００１７】
図１に示すように、洗浄槽１０は、食器洗い機本体１１の内部に設け、側面を構成するステンレス鋼板などの金属製の洗浄槽部材１２と、洗浄槽部材１２の上部を構成する樹脂製の上面構成部材１３と、底部を構成する樹脂製の底部構成部材１４とで構成している。また、食器洗い機本体１１は、洗浄槽部材１２の上部を構成する樹脂製の上面構成部材１３を共用し、この上面構成部材１３と側面を構成する食器洗い機本体部材１５とで構成している。
【００１８】
この洗浄槽１０は、洗浄槽部材１２の前方に開口部１６を有し、開口部１６には、開閉自在に覆う扉体１７と、扉体１７の閉成状態で開口部１６と水封する水封部材１８とを設けている。樹脂製の底部構成部材１４に洗浄水を噴射する洗浄ノズル１９を回転自在に配設し、洗浄槽１０内に食器類２０を収容する食器かご２１を配置している。
【００１９】
洗浄槽部材１２の上端部２２は上面構成部材１３と第１の当接面２３により当接し、食器洗い機本体部材１５と上面構成部材１３とは第２の当接面２４により当接している。ここで、第１の当接面２３は第２の当接面２４より下方の位置に構成している。また、洗浄槽部材１２の上端部２２の前端部２５は、上面構成部材１３の前端面２６より前方に位置するとともに、その内方側に水封部材１８を配設している。
【００２０】
また、図２に示すように、洗浄槽部材１２の上端部２２は外側への折り返し形状とするとともに、その折り返しの外側部分には、外方への切起こし部２７を数ヵ所設けている。
【００２１】
また、上面構成部材１３は、第１の当接面２３と第２の当接面２４との間に、下方へ延びる回収リブ２８を一体的に形成するとともに、この回収リブ２８の一部に、洗浄槽部材１２に設けた切起こし部２７の位置に合わせた係合部２９を形成し、洗浄槽部材１２の上方から挿着する構成としている。また、第１の当接面２３より洗浄槽１０内方側に遮蔽リブ３０を設けており、洗浄槽部材１２と遮蔽リブ３０との間は、水が毛細管現象にて上昇しない程度の回収空間３１を設けている。
【００２２】
また、洗浄槽部材１２には、上端部２２の近傍に洗浄槽１０内方への突出部２８を設けており、洗浄槽部材１２と遮蔽リブ３０に設けた回収空間３１の入口が小さくなるよう構成している。
【００２３】
上記構成において作用を説明すると、洗浄槽１０は、上面構成部材１３を金属製の洗浄槽部材１２の上方より挿着することで、係合部２９がそれ自身の弾性にて洗浄槽部材１２に設けた切起こし部２７に係合し、上下方向の規制がされ、樹脂製の上面構成部材１３と金属製の洗浄槽部材１２とを結合して一体化する。同様に、底部構成部材１５の上方より洗浄槽部材１２を一体化し、洗浄槽１０を構成することができる。したがって、洗浄槽１０を溶接やシール材を用いることなく構成することができ、製造コストが安価な食器洗い機を提供することができる。
【００２４】
また、噴射された洗浄水が上面構成部材１３に設けた遮蔽リブ３０と洗浄槽部材１２に設けた突出部３２によって、第１の当接面２３に直接当たる水の量を減らすことができる。
【００２５】
また、上面構成部材１３と洗浄槽部材１２の上端部２２の隙間に表面張力によって侵入した水は、回収空間３１があるため、毛細管現象によって、第１の当接面２３に水が上がってくるのを防止することができる。
【００２６】
また、回収空間３１に溜まった水は、その大半が洗浄槽１０内へ回収されるが、一部は、表面張力によって上面構成部材１３の前端面２６に移動する。このとき、洗浄槽部材１２と上面構成部材１３の前端部２５近傍には隙間が生じるが、前端部２５は上面構成部材１３の前端面２６より前方に位置するとともに、その内方側に水封部材１８を配設しているため、洗浄水が表面張力で外へ漏れるのを水封部材１８で防ぐことができる。
【００２７】
また、第１の当接面２３は第２の当接面２４より下方の位置にあるため、第１の当接面２３より漏れた水は、回収リブ２８によって洗浄槽部材１２側に集められ、食器洗い機本体１１の外には水が漏れることがない。また、この漏れた水は、洗浄槽部材１２を伝って流れ、底部構成部材１４に回収することができる。
【００２８】
このように本実施例によれば、食器洗い機本体１１および洗浄槽１０の上部を上面構成部材１３により構成し、洗浄槽１２の側面を洗浄槽部材１２により構成するとともに、食器洗い機本体１１の側面を食器洗い機本体部材１５により構成し、洗浄槽部材１２と上面構成部材１３との第１の当接面２３は、食器洗い機本体部材１５と上面構成部材１３との第２の当接面２４より下方に位置したので、洗浄槽１０を溶接やシール材を用いることなく構成することができ、また、洗浄槽１０の上部から水が漏れた場合でも食器洗い機本体１１との間で回収して機外に水を漏らさないようにでき、製造コストが安価な食器洗い機を提供することができる。
【００２９】
また、上面構成部材１３には洗浄槽部材１２の上端部２２との第１の当接面２３より洗浄槽部材１２の内方側に遮蔽リブ３０を設け、洗浄槽部材１２と遮蔽リブ３０の間は、水が毛細管現象にて上昇しない程度の隙間としたので、遮蔽リブ３０に付着した水滴が、毛細管現象で洗浄槽１０の外に漏れるのを防止することができる。
【００３０】
また、洗浄槽部材１２の上端部２２は、上面構成部材１３の第１の当接面２３にて当接し、上端部２２の前端部２５は上面構成部材１３の前端面２６より前方に位置するとともに、その内方側に水封部材１８を有するので、上面構成部材１３と洗浄槽部材１２の隙間に侵入した水が、上面構成部材１３の前端面２６から洗浄槽１０の外へ漏れるのを水封部材１８で防ぐことができる。
【００３１】
また、洗浄槽部材１２の外面上部に外側への切起こし部（凸部）２７を設け、上面構成部材１３には、切起こし部２７の位置に合わせて係合部２９を設け、係合部２９を切起こし部２７に係合することにより、上面構成部材１３を洗浄槽部材１２に固定したので、溶接、ビス締結の必要性がなく、製造が容易で、安価な洗浄槽を得ることができる。
【００３２】
また、洗浄槽部材１２を金属製とするとともに、上面構成部材１３を樹脂製とし、洗浄槽部材１２の上端部２２は、外側への折り返し形状とするとともに、その折り返しの外側部分には、外方への切起こし部２７を設け、この切起こし部２７に上面構成部材１３の係合部２９を係合するよう構成したので、洗浄槽は、穴を空けることなく、容易に加工ができる構成にすることができる。
【００３３】
なお、本実施例では、金属製の洗浄槽部材１２は、洗浄槽１０の側面を構成しているが、洗浄槽１０の側面だけでなく底部も構成してもよく、また、食器洗い機本体部材１５は、食器洗い機本体１１の側面を構成しているが、食器洗い機本体１１の側面だけでなく底部も構成してもよく、同様の作用、効果を得ることができる。
【００３４】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、本発明の請求項１に記載の発明によれば、食器洗い機本体および洗浄槽の上部を上面構成部材により構成し、洗浄槽の少なくとも側面を洗浄槽部材により構成するとともに、食器洗い機本体の少なくとも側面を食器洗い機本体部材により構成し、洗浄槽部材と上面構成部材との第１の当接面は、食器洗い機本体部材と上面構成部材との第２の当接面より下方に位置したから、洗浄槽を溶接やシール材を用いることなく構成することができ、また、洗浄槽の上部から水が漏れた場合でも食器洗い機本体との間で回収して機外に水を漏らさないようにでき、製造コストが安価な食器洗い機を提供することができる。
