Description

本発明は、食器などに洗浄水を噴射して洗浄する食器洗い機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a dishwasher that performs cleaning by spraying cleaning water onto tableware or the like.

従来、一般的な食器洗い機は、図4に示すように構成していた。以下、その構成について説明する。図4に示すように、食器洗い機本体1は、内部に洗浄槽2を設けており、この洗浄槽2内へ給水弁3により水または湯を供給するようにしている。洗浄槽2の底部には排水孔4を設け、この排水孔4に連通し、モータによって駆動される洗浄ポンプ5を取り付け、この洗浄ポンプ5により洗浄水を洗浄ノズル6から噴射させ洗浄槽2の内部に循環するよう構成している。また、排水孔4には残さいを捕集する残さいフィルタ7を具備している。洗浄槽2の底部にはサーミスタで構成される温度検知手段8を設けている。   Conventionally, a general dishwasher is configured as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the configuration will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the dishwasher main body 1 has a washing tub 2 provided therein, and water or hot water is supplied into the washing tub 2 by a water supply valve 3. A drainage hole 4 is provided at the bottom of the washing tank 2, and a washing pump 5 that is connected to the drainage hole 4 and is driven by a motor is attached, and washing water is jetted from the washing nozzle 6 by the washing pump 5. It is configured to circulate inside. Further, the drain hole 4 is provided with a residue filter 7 for collecting the residue. A temperature detection means 8 composed of a thermistor is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2.

すなわち、洗浄槽2内に供給された洗浄水は、残さいフィルタ7を通過して洗浄ポンプ5に吸い込まれ、洗浄ポンプ5より洗浄槽2の内底部に設けた洗浄ノズル6に供給される。洗浄ノズル6から噴射された洗浄水は、食器など9を洗浄した後、再び排水孔4に戻るという経路で循環する。この際、食器など9から脱落した残さい等は、洗浄水とともに残さいフィルタ7に流入し、この残さいフィルタ7を通過できない大きさの残さいは残さいフィルタ7に捕集される。   That is, the cleaning water supplied into the cleaning tank 2 passes through the residual filter 7 and is sucked into the cleaning pump 5 and supplied from the cleaning pump 5 to the cleaning nozzle 6 provided at the inner bottom of the cleaning tank 2. The washing water sprayed from the washing nozzle 6 circulates along a route that returns to the drain hole 4 after washing the tableware 9 and the like. At this time, the residue or the like dropped from the tableware 9 flows into the residue filter 7 together with the washing water, and the residue having a size that cannot pass through the residue filter 7 is collected by the residue filter 7.

また、洗浄ノズル6と洗浄槽2の底部との間には、洗浄水加熱用のヒータ10を装備し、洗浄ノズル6の上方には、食器など9を整然と配置でき、洗浄水を効果的に食器など9に噴射するように構成した食器かご11を設置して効率的に洗浄を行っている。また、排水ポンプ12は、排水ホース13を通して洗浄水を機外に排出するものである。乾燥用送風装置14を備え、乾燥工程時にヒータ10と乾燥用送風装置14を駆動することにより、洗浄槽2内へ温風を送風し食器9の乾燥を行う。   Further, a heater 10 for heating the cleaning water is provided between the cleaning nozzle 6 and the bottom of the cleaning tank 2, and tableware 9 and the like can be neatly arranged above the cleaning nozzle 6 so that the cleaning water is effectively supplied. A tableware basket 11 configured to be sprayed on the tableware 9 is installed for efficient cleaning. Further, the drain pump 12 discharges cleaning water through the drain hose 13 to the outside of the machine. The air blower 14 for drying is provided, and the heater 10 and the air blower 14 for drying are driven at the time of a drying process, thereby blowing warm air into the cleaning tank 2 to dry the dishes 9.

また、洗浄性能向上のために水粒子発生機構を有し、酵素を含ませ、汚染物の膨潤や酵素の作用により洗浄性能を向上する食器洗い機も提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
特開2000−189375号公報
There has also been proposed a dishwasher having a water particle generation mechanism for improving cleaning performance, including an enzyme, and improving the cleaning performance by swelling of contaminants and the action of the enzyme (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .
JP 2000-189375 A

しかしながら、これら従来の構成では、食器洗い機で洗浄するすべての汚れに対して洗浄ができるというわけではなかった。特に、直接加熱し焦げ付きのある調理を行う料理に対しては、苦手である。例えば、グラタン、茶碗蒸し等のようなものである。また、水粒子発生機構を有するものにおいても、特定の汚染に対してのみ有効であった。   However, in these conventional configurations, it is not possible to wash all the stains washed by the dishwasher. In particular, it is not good for dishes that are directly heated and cooked with scorch. For example, gratin, chawanmushi, etc. Further, even those having a water particle generation mechanism were effective only for specific contamination.

本発明は上記従来の課題を解決するもので、洗浄性能を大幅に向上し、従来では洗浄しきれなかった料理の汚れに対して洗浄できるようにするとともに、食器洗い機を使用する室温や水温などの環境にかかわらず安定して高い洗浄能力を発揮することを目的としている。   The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, greatly improves the cleaning performance, and can clean dishes that could not be cleaned conventionally, and uses a dishwasher at room temperature, water temperature, etc. The objective is to demonstrate stable and high cleaning performance regardless of the environment.

本発明は上記目的を達成するために、食器などを収容する洗浄槽と、洗浄行程で使用する洗浄水を供給する給水手段と、洗浄水を圧送する洗浄ポンプと、洗浄ポンプより圧送された洗浄水を食器などに噴射する洗浄ノズルと、洗浄水を加熱する加熱手段と、洗浄液の温度を検知する温度検知手段と、送風装置と、微粒子の洗剤液を食器などに付着させるミスト発生手段とを備え、前記ミスト発生手段により微粒子の洗剤ミストを飛散させる前処理行程と前処理工程後に洗浄ポンプを駆動し洗浄水を食器などに噴射する本洗浄工程を有し、前記前処理行程でミスト発生手段と加熱手段を駆動し、前記温度検知手段の出力により前記送風装置を制御したものである。   In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a cleaning tank for storing tableware, a water supply means for supplying cleaning water used in a cleaning process, a cleaning pump for pumping cleaning water, and a cleaning pumped by the cleaning pump. A cleaning nozzle that sprays water onto tableware, a heating unit that heats the cleaning water, a temperature detection unit that detects the temperature of the cleaning liquid, a blower, and a mist generating unit that attaches a fine detergent solution to the tableware. A pretreatment process in which the detergent mist of fine particles is scattered by the mist generating means, and a main cleaning process in which a cleaning pump is driven after the pretreatment process to inject cleaning water into tableware, and the mist generating means in the pretreatment process. And the heating means are driven, and the blower is controlled by the output of the temperature detecting means.

これにより、微粒子の洗剤ミストを食器などに付着した汚染物に付着させる前処理行程を有することにより、微粒子の洗剤ミスト持つ表面活性の力で洗浄性能を大幅に向上することができる。また、微粒子の洗剤ミストは空気より重いため洗浄槽下部に滞留するが、温度検知手段の出力により送風装置を制御することによって、洗浄槽内で上方への流れを発生させ洗剤ミストを効率的に洗浄槽内へ充満させ一層の洗浄性能向上が図れる。これらにより、室温や給水される水温にかかわらずミスト発生量とミストの洗浄槽内への充満を確実にでき安定した洗浄性能を得ることができる。   Accordingly, the cleaning performance can be greatly improved by the surface activity of the fine particle detergent mist by having a pretreatment process for adhering the fine particle detergent mist to contaminants adhering to tableware and the like. Fine particle detergent mist stays in the lower part of the washing tank because it is heavier than air, but by controlling the air blower with the output of the temperature detection means, an upward flow is generated in the washing tank to efficiently remove the detergent mist. The cleaning tank can be filled to further improve the cleaning performance. As a result, regardless of the room temperature or the temperature of the supplied water, the amount of mist generated and the filling of the mist into the cleaning tank can be ensured and stable cleaning performance can be obtained.

本発明の食器洗い機は、微粒子の洗剤ミストを食器などに付着した汚染物に付着させる前処理行程を有することにより洗浄性能を大幅に向上することができ、温度検知手段の検知温度により送風装置の駆動を制御することによって、安定した洗浄性能を得ることができる。   The dishwasher of the present invention can greatly improve the cleaning performance by having a pretreatment process in which fine particle detergent mist adheres to contaminants attached to tableware and the like. By controlling the drive, stable cleaning performance can be obtained.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、従来例と同じ構成のものは同一符号を付して説明を省略する。また、この実施の形態によって本発明が限定されるものではない。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the thing of the same structure as a prior art example attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits description. Further, the present invention is not limited by this embodiment.

(実施の形態1)
図1は本発明の実施の形態1における食器洗い機の縦断面図、図2は同食器洗い機の正面図、図3は同食器洗い機のミスト発生手段の拡大断面図である。ミスト発生手段15は、洗剤を少ない量の水で溶かした高濃度な洗剤液を洗浄槽2内に飛散させ、飛散した微粒子の洗剤ミストを食器など9に付着させるものである。
(Embodiment 1)
1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a dishwasher according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of the dishwasher, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a mist generating means of the dishwasher. The mist generating means 15 scatters a high-concentration detergent solution obtained by dissolving a detergent with a small amount of water into the washing tub 2 and attaches the scattered fine particle detergent mist to the tableware 9 or the like.

具体的にはミスト発生手段15は図3に示すように、超音波発振装置16と、超音波発振装置16を汚れなどから保護するケース17と、ケース17内に封入した伝達流体18と、ケース17を覆うカバー19などで構成されている。カバー19には発生したミストが通過する孔20を設けている。また、カバー19は洗剤入れを兼ねており、ケース17に直接洗剤21が触れないように洗剤投入部22を有している。温度検知手段23は洗浄槽2の下面に設けたサーミスタであり、洗浄水の温度や機体の温度を検知するものである。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the mist generating means 15 includes an ultrasonic oscillation device 16, a case 17 that protects the ultrasonic oscillation device 16 from dirt, a transmission fluid 18 enclosed in the case 17, a case, 17 includes a cover 19 that covers 17. The cover 19 is provided with a hole 20 through which the generated mist passes. Further, the cover 19 also serves as a detergent container, and has a detergent charging portion 22 so that the detergent 21 does not touch the case 17 directly. The temperature detection means 23 is a thermistor provided on the lower surface of the cleaning tank 2 and detects the temperature of the cleaning water and the temperature of the machine body.

ミスト発生手段15の近傍に送風口24を有する送風装置25を設け、ミスト発生手段15から発生する洗剤ミストを効果的に洗浄槽2内へ拡散できるようにしている。本実施の形態では、この送風装置25は、乾燥工程時に乾燥空気を送風する乾燥送風装置と兼ねた構成としている。   A blower 25 having a blower opening 24 is provided in the vicinity of the mist generating means 15 so that the detergent mist generated from the mist generating means 15 can be effectively diffused into the cleaning tank 2. In this Embodiment, this air blower 25 is set as the structure which served as the dry air blower which ventilates dry air at the time of a drying process.

本実施の形態における食器洗い機は、ミスト発生手段15により洗剤液を食器など9に飛散して放置する前処理行程を有し、この前処理行程では所定のミスト発生量を得るためのミスト発生所定水位以下給水した後、ミスト発生手段15を駆動し微粒子の洗剤ミストを飛散させる。この給水した洗浄水をヒータ(加熱手段)10により加熱し、洗浄槽2内に対流を発生させ効果的に洗剤ミストを洗浄槽2内へ充満させている。   The dishwasher in the present embodiment has a pretreatment process in which the detergent solution is scattered by the mist generating means 15 and left on the tableware 9 and the like. In this pretreatment process, the mist generation predetermined value for obtaining a predetermined mist generation amount is provided. After supplying water below the water level, the mist generating means 15 is driven to scatter the fine particle detergent mist. The supplied cleaning water is heated by a heater (heating means) 10 to generate convection in the cleaning tank 2 and to effectively fill the cleaning tank 2 with the detergent mist.

また、前処理行程では送風装置25を駆動し、ミスト発生装置15近傍に設けた送風口24から送風することにより、洗剤ミストを洗浄槽2内への拡散を促進している。   In the pretreatment process, the blowing device 25 is driven and blown from the blowing port 24 provided in the vicinity of the mist generating device 15, thereby promoting the diffusion of the detergent mist into the cleaning tank 2.

上記構成において、その動作、作用を説明する。まず、ミスト発生手段15の洗剤投入部22に標準量の洗剤21を入れ運転を開始する。給水弁(給水手段)3から所定のミスト発生量を得るためのミスト発生所定水位26以下まで水を給水する。この場合、所定量の給水量は水量を検知する水量検知手段(図示せず)により設定される。ただし、一定の流量の給水弁3での所定の時間だけの給水によってもかまわない。ミスト発生量は水位に反比例するため、所定のミスト発生量を得るためのミスト発生所定水位22に対し、それ以下の水位とすることでミスト発生量を増大させ一層の効果が期待できる。   The operation and action of the above configuration will be described. First, a standard amount of detergent 21 is placed in the detergent charging part 22 of the mist generating means 15 and the operation is started. Water is supplied from a water supply valve (water supply means) 3 to a mist generation level 26 or less for obtaining a predetermined mist generation amount. In this case, the predetermined amount of water supply is set by a water amount detection means (not shown) that detects the amount of water. However, the water supply valve 3 having a constant flow rate may supply water for a predetermined time. Since the mist generation amount is inversely proportional to the water level, the mist generation amount can be increased by setting the water level lower than the mist generation predetermined water level 22 for obtaining the predetermined mist generation amount, and further effects can be expected.

次に前処理行程として、ミスト発生手段15の超音波発振装置16を駆動すると、伝達流体18とケース17を介して超音波が伝わり水面より洗剤成分を含んだミストが発生する。ミスト発生手段15のカバー19に設けた洗剤投入部22に洗剤を入れているため、カバー19内の洗浄水は非常に洗剤濃度が高くなっている。このため、洗剤濃度の高いミストが発生し、洗浄槽2内に微粒子で高濃度の洗剤ミストは飛散する。この微粒子で高濃度の洗剤ミストは、食器など9に付着し、微粒子の洗剤ミストが食器など9に付着している汚れを微粒子で高濃度の洗剤ミストが持つ表面活性力により化学的に分解する。このため、食器に付着した汚れ特に口紅や茶渋などの汚れを食器表面から浮き上がらせることが可能となる。   Next, when the ultrasonic oscillating device 16 of the mist generating means 15 is driven as a pretreatment process, ultrasonic waves are transmitted through the transmission fluid 18 and the case 17 to generate mist containing detergent components from the water surface. Since the detergent is put in the detergent inlet 22 provided on the cover 19 of the mist generating means 15, the cleaning water in the cover 19 has a very high detergent concentration. Therefore, a mist having a high detergent concentration is generated, and the detergent mist having a high concentration of fine particles is scattered in the cleaning tank 2. The fine-particle and high-concentration detergent mist adheres to the tableware 9 and the like, and the fine-particle detergent mist is chemically decomposed by the surface activity of the fine-particle and high-concentration detergent mist. . For this reason, it becomes possible to raise the stain | pollution | contamination adhering to tableware, especially stain | pollution | contamination, such as a lipstick and tea astringency, from the tableware surface.

また、前処理行程で送風装置25を駆動し、ミスト発生装置15近傍に設けた送風口24から送風することにより、洗剤ミストを洗浄槽2内への拡散を促進している。さらには、運転開始時の検知温度T0すなわち室温が低い時は前処理行程での送風装置25の送風量を大きくし(例として送風装置25の回転数を高くするもしくは駆動時間を長くするなど)、運転開始後所定時間経過後の温度検知手段23の検知温度T1すなわち給水水温が低い時は送風装置25の送風量を大きくしている(一例として送風装置25の駆動時間を(表1)に示す)。   Further, the blowing device 25 is driven in the pretreatment process, and air is blown from the blowing port 24 provided in the vicinity of the mist generating device 15, thereby promoting the diffusion of the detergent mist into the cleaning tank 2. Further, when the detected temperature T0 at the start of operation, that is, the room temperature is low, the air blowing amount of the air blower 25 in the pretreatment process is increased (for example, the rotational speed of the air blower 25 is increased or the driving time is lengthened). When the detected temperature T1 of the temperature detection means 23 after the elapse of a predetermined time after the start of operation, that is, the feed water temperature is low, the air blowing amount of the blower 25 is increased (for example, the driving time of the blower 25 is set to (Table 1)). Show).

Figure 2005342385
これにより、ヒータ10の加熱による洗浄槽2内の対流効果が発生するまで、効果的に洗剤ミストを洗浄槽2内への充満短縮され、室温や給水される水温にかかわらず洗浄槽内への充満が短時間に確実にでき安定した洗浄性能を得ることができる。

Thereby, until the convection effect in the cleaning tank 2 due to the heating of the heater 10 occurs, the filling of the detergent mist into the cleaning tank 2 is effectively shortened, and the cleaning mist is supplied to the cleaning tank regardless of the room temperature or the temperature of the supplied water. Filling can be ensured in a short time and stable cleaning performance can be obtained.

さらには、運転開始時の温度検知手段23の検知温度T0が所定温度より高い時(例えば、1回目の運転後直ぐに2回目の運転を行う場合など洗浄槽2の温度が高い場合)、前処理行程において所定時間送風装置25を駆動した後に、ミスト発生手段15を駆動すれば、ミスト発生手段15の駆動前に洗浄槽2を冷却することが可能となり、このような場合でも、ミスト発生手段15駆動時には洗浄槽2内で上方への流れが促進されミストの洗浄槽内への充満を確実にでき安定して従来にない高い洗浄性能を得ることができる。   Further, when the detected temperature T0 of the temperature detecting means 23 at the start of operation is higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, when the temperature of the cleaning tank 2 is high, such as when the second operation is performed immediately after the first operation), pre-processing If the mist generating means 15 is driven after the air blower 25 is driven for a predetermined time in the process, the cleaning tank 2 can be cooled before the mist generating means 15 is driven. Even in such a case, the mist generating means 15 When driven, the upward flow in the cleaning tank 2 is promoted, so that the mist can be reliably filled in the cleaning tank, and high cleaning performance unprecedented can be obtained stably.

次に、前処理行程でミスト発生手段15から微粒子の高濃度の洗剤ミストを飛散した後の本洗浄工程では、給水弁3よりさらに所定時間給水を行い、洗浄ポンプ5がエアガミなどの発生しないミスト発生所定水位22以上としている。本実施の形態では所定時間給水しているが、所定量の給水量は水量を検知する水量検知手段(図示せず)により設定しても良い。これにより、洗浄ポンプ5の能力が安定して発揮でき、常に安定した洗浄性能を得ることができる。給水が終了すると、ヒータ10に通電し洗浄水を加熱する。ここで、洗浄ポンプ5により洗浄ノズル6からの洗浄水の噴射を行い洗浄を行う。このとき、微粒子で高濃度の洗剤ミストの作用により浮き上がった食器など9の汚れに対し、効果的に洗浄を行う。   Next, in the main cleaning step after the high-concentration detergent mist of fine particles is scattered from the mist generating means 15 in the pretreatment process, water is supplied for a predetermined time from the water supply valve 3 so that the cleaning pump 5 does not generate air mist or the like. The generated water level is 22 or more. In this embodiment, water is supplied for a predetermined time, but a predetermined amount of water may be set by a water amount detecting means (not shown) for detecting the amount of water. Thereby, the capability of the cleaning pump 5 can be exhibited stably, and a stable cleaning performance can be always obtained. When the water supply is completed, the heater 10 is energized to heat the cleaning water. Here, cleaning is performed by spraying cleaning water from the cleaning nozzle 6 by the cleaning pump 5. At this time, it effectively cleans 9 stains such as tableware that has been lifted by the action of detergent mist with a high concentration of fine particles.

なお、送風装置25を、食器を乾燥させる乾燥工程時に送風する乾燥送風装置と兼ねることにより、専用の送風装置を必要とせず安価で小型の食器洗い機を実現できる。   In addition, by using the air blower 25 also as a dry air blower that blows air during the drying process of drying the dishes, an inexpensive and small dishwasher can be realized without requiring a dedicated air blower.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては、ミスト発生手段15により微粒子の洗剤ミストを食器など9に飛散する前処理行程を有し、温度検知手段23の出力により送風装置25を制御したもので、これにより、室温や給水される水温にかかわらずミスト発生量とミストの洗浄槽内への充満を確実にでき安定して従来にない高い洗浄性能を得ることができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the mist generating means 15 has a pretreatment process in which fine detergent mist is scattered on the tableware 9 and the like, and the blower 25 is controlled by the output of the temperature detecting means 23. Thus, regardless of the room temperature or the temperature of the supplied water, the amount of mist generated and the filling of the mist into the cleaning tank can be reliably ensured, and high cleaning performance unprecedented can be obtained.

また、運転開始時の温度検知手段の検知温度T0と、運転開始から所定時間経過後の温度検知手段の検知温度T1との両方あるいはいずれか一方により、前処理行程での送風装置駆動能力を制御することにより、室温や給水される水温にかかわらずミスト発生量とミストの洗浄槽内への充満を確実にでき安定して従来にない高い洗浄性能を得ることができる。   Further, the blower drive capability in the pretreatment process is controlled by the detection temperature T0 of the temperature detection means at the start of operation and / or the detection temperature T1 of the temperature detection means after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of operation. By doing so, the amount of mist generated and the filling of the mist into the washing tank can be ensured regardless of the room temperature or the temperature of the supplied water, and a high cleaning performance unprecedented can be obtained stably.

また、運転開始時の温度検知手段の検知温度T0が所定温度より高い時、前処理行程において所定時間送風装置を駆動した後に、ミスト発生手段を駆動することにより、洗浄槽内の温度が高い場合に洗浄槽を冷却するため、洗浄槽内で上方への流れが促進されミストの洗浄槽内への充満を確実にでき安定して従来にない高い洗浄性能を得ることができる。   Also, when the temperature in the cleaning tank is high by driving the mist generating means after driving the blower for a predetermined time in the pretreatment process when the detected temperature T0 of the temperature detecting means at the start of operation is higher than the predetermined temperature. In addition, since the cleaning tank is cooled, the upward flow is promoted in the cleaning tank, and the mist can be surely filled in the cleaning tank, and a high cleaning performance which is not conventionally achieved can be obtained stably.

また、送風装置は、食器を乾燥させる乾燥工程時に送風する乾燥送風装置で構成することで、専用の送風装置を必要とせず安価で小型の食器洗い機を実現できる。   Moreover, an air blower is comprised by the dry air blower which ventilates at the time of the drying process which dries tableware, and can implement | achieve an inexpensive small dishwasher without requiring a dedicated air blower.

以上のように、本発明にかかる食器洗い機は、微粒子の洗剤ミストを被洗浄物に付着させて放置する前処理行程を有することにより、洗浄力を大幅に向上することができ、またこの前処理行程にて送風装置を制御することによって、一層の洗浄性能向上が図れるので、食器などに洗浄水を噴射して洗浄する食器洗い機等として有用である。   As described above, the dishwasher according to the present invention has a pretreatment process in which fine particle detergent mist is attached to an object to be washed and left to stand, so that the cleaning power can be greatly improved. Since the cleaning performance can be further improved by controlling the air blower in the process, it is useful as a dishwasher or the like for cleaning by spraying cleaning water onto the tableware.
