When the switch 4 is turned on, the operation of the main body 1 is started by a built-in control device (not shown).
First, the operation of washing dishes in the first washing chamber 6 will be described.
The first solenoid valve 24 is opened, and tap water is supplied into the first cleaning chamber 6 from the water supply port 23 until a predetermined water level detected by a water level sensor (not shown).
Next, the motor 22 rotates forward, the water supply pump 20 is driven, water is discharged to the first discharge pipe 12, a part flows into the first nozzle arm 13, and the rest is the tip of the first discharge pipe 12. From the lower end 14 a of the connection pipe 14, it flows into the connection pipe 14, discharges from the upper end 14 b, enters the second discharge pipe 15, and flows into the second nozzle arm 16. The water that has entered the first nozzle arm 13 and the second nozzle arm 16 is ejected vigorously from the small holes 13 provided in the respective nozzle arms, and both the nozzle arms rotate by the reaction to pre-wash the dishes for a predetermined time. .
When the preliminary washing is completed, the motor 22 is rotated in the reverse direction, the drain pump 21 is driven, and the dirty water is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 21b.
The first solenoid valve 24 is operated again to supply tap water from the water supply port 23 to a predetermined water level detected by the water level sensor (at least, the water level at which the first heater 17 is sufficiently immersed).
The supplied water is heated by the first heater 17 and when it becomes hot water, detergent is added from a detergent supply unit (not shown), the motor 22 rotates forward, the water supply pump 20 is driven, and the above-mentioned spare water is supplied. As with washing, however, warm water is ejected vigorously from the small holes 13 of the first nozzle arm 13 and the second nozzle arm 16, and the tableware is washed for a predetermined time while both nozzle arms rotate. The leftovers dropped from the dishes during cleaning are captured by the filter 18a, so that they do not adhere to the dishes again.
When the cleaning process is completed, the motor 22 is rotated in the reverse direction, the drain pump 21 is driven, and the dirty water is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 21b.
The solenoid valve 24 is operated again to supply tap water from the water supply port 23 to a predetermined water level detected by the water level sensor.
Again, the motor 22 rotates forward, the water supply pump 20 is driven, and water is ejected vigorously from the small holes 13 of the first nozzle arm 13 and the second nozzle arm 16 in the same manner as in the pre-washing described above. The tableware is rinsed for a predetermined time while rotating.
It is desirable to rinse the tableware after washing three times. In the first two times, the supplied tap water is rinsed and drained for a predetermined time as in the pre-washing. In the third rinsing, if the supplied tap water is heated with the heater 17 so as to become hot water of about 70 ° C. to 80 ° C. and is rinsed for a predetermined time, not only the rinsing effect but also the bactericidal effect can be obtained. In addition, drying in the next drying step is also fast.
Next, although it is a drying process, it controls so that the below-mentioned wiping washing | cleaning may be complete | finished by this time.
In the drying process, while the first heater 17 is energized, the fan motor 26 rotates the blower fan 25 to take in outside air and blow it onto the heater 17. That is, the first heater 17 used to heat tap water and the fan 25 that blows outside air to the drying water are used as drying means when washing and rinsing dishes.
The outside air is heated by the first heater 17 to become warm air, circulates in the tableware drying chamber 6, and is discharged from the connecting pipe 41 into the second cleaning chamber 7 while drying the tableware. The warm air that has entered the second cleaning chamber 7 climbs upward while drying the cloth 34 hung on the textile product rack 30, and is discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 8 provided in the upper part of the second door 3. The temperature of the air heated by the first heater 17 is controlled so as to be within a predetermined temperature range while being detected by a temperature sensor 19 attached to the bottom of the first cleaning chamber 6. In this way, by performing the drying operation for a predetermined time, it is possible to dry not only the tableware but also the dishcloth at the same time. Since a thick cloth or the like takes time to dry, the second heater 42 may be energized during the drying. In this case, since the opening 41b of the communication pipe 41 is opened downward, the warm air containing the steam from the first cleaning chamber 6 is efficiently heated by the second heater 42, and the circulation is performed. This can greatly reduce the drying time.
Next, the cleaning of the cleaning cloth will be described.
First, the second solenoid valve 28 is opened by the control device, and tap water is supplied from the second water supply port 29 to a predetermined water level (at least, the second heater 42 is immersed) detected by a water level sensor (not shown). When the supply of tap water is finished, laundry detergent is supplied from a supply unit (not shown), and the second heater 42 is energized.
When the water reaches a predetermined temperature, the first motor 37 and the second outlet 37b of the four-way valve 36 are alternately switched every predetermined time while the pump 35 is operated by the second motor 36. When the pump 35 and the first discharge port 37a communicate with each other, the washing water pumped from the pump 35 is sent to the third discharge port pipe 38, and the cloth 34 is hung on the textile product hook 30 through the small hole 38a. Sprayed on the inside. Further, when the pump 35 communicates with the second discharge port 37b, the wash water pumped from the pump 35 is sent to the fourth discharge port pipe 39, and this time, it is blown from the nozzle 39a to the outer surface of the cloth 34. It is turned on. In this way, by spraying the cleaning water alternately from both sides of the cloth, dirt and dust are not biased and do not remain on one surface, and the cleaning effect is enhanced.
In addition, while the cleaning water circulates, the dust attached to the cloth is captured by the filter 43 so that it does not adhere to the cloth again.
When the cleaning process for a predetermined time is completed, the four-way valve 37 is switched to connect the third discharge port 37c and the pump 35, and the dirty water is discharged from the drain pipe 40 to the outside.
Next, the rinsing process is started, but the rinsing is preferably about three times. Rinse and drain only the supplied tap water for the first two times. Since the specific rinsing operation is the same as the cleaning process only without using a detergent, the description thereof is omitted. At the time of final rinsing, the supplied tap water is heated to about 60-70 ° C. with the second heater 42, and if it is rinsed with it, the sterilizing effect will be effective for items that are sanitary due to hygiene. It ’s big.
Next, the drying process of the cloth 34 is entered, but since it is as already described, the description is omitted.
As described above, the dishwasher according to the present embodiment is very convenient because the dishwasher 34 and the like can be individually and simultaneously cleaned in the second washing chamber 7 while performing normal dish washing in the first washing chamber 6. Moreover, since the cloth 34 is also dried with warm air, it is very hygienic.
Further, the first cleaning chamber 6 and the second cleaning chamber 7 are communicated so that the outside air or hot air for drying the object to be cleaned is sent from one cleaning chamber to the other cleaning chamber, so that one drying is performed. By this means, the objects to be cleaned in both cleaning rooms can be dried, and the structure can be simplified and an inexpensive dishwasher can be provided. In particular, the warm air used for drying the tableware in the first cleaning chamber 6 is discharged to the outside through the second cleaning chamber 7, so that strong power from the first cleaning chamber 6 as the main cleaning chamber can be obtained. The object to be cleaned in the second cleaning chamber 7 is dried with warm air, so that the object to be cleaned in the second cleaning chamber 7 can be quickly dried. At this time, when the second heater 42 of the second cleaning chamber 7 is energized to increase the drying efficiency, warm air is sent from the first cleaning chamber 6, so the power consumption of the second heater 42 is reduced accordingly. That's all you need to do.
Further, by providing the second washing chamber 7 with a textile product hook 30 that is efficient for cleaning and drying the cloth 34, the work for hanging the cloth article 30 becomes extremely easy.
In the above embodiment, the second cleaning chamber 7 is used for cleaning and drying the cloth 34, but a tableware rack dedicated to the second cleaning chamber 7 is provided as an attachment, and the first cleaning chamber 6 cannot be fully accommodated. It is also possible to wash and dry the dishes.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the textile product hook 30 formed with the wire for washing | cleaning and drying of textile products was used, the small thing of the drum-type washing tub currently used for the washing machine for general clothing is used. It may be used.
