  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings illustrating embodiments thereof. 1 is a longitudinal side view showing the configuration of a dishwasher according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the upper door, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the opening of the cleaning tank is opened, and FIG. It is a front view which shows the structure of a dishwasher.

  The dishwasher shown in the figure is a housing 1, a cleaning tank 2 that is disposed in the housing 1, and has an opening 21 on the front surface thereof, and a bowl that is housed in the cleaning tank 2 and on which tableware A is placed. A tableware receiver 3 having a shape, a plurality of rotatable nozzles 4 disposed below the tableware receiver 3 and spraying water toward the tableware A placed on the tableware receiver 3, and the nozzle 4 A pump (not shown) that supplies pressurized water via a distribution valve, a heater 5 that dries the inside of the cleaning tank 2, and an opening 21 are closed up and down and pivotally supported by the housing 1 so as to be rotatable in the up and down direction. The dishwasher includes an upper door 6 and a lower door 7.

  Both side edges of the opening 21 of the cleaning tank 2 are vertical surfaces 21a and 21a that are substantially orthogonal to the floor mounting surface 10, and inclined surfaces 21b that are inclined from the top of the vertical surfaces 21a and 21a toward the rear of the cleaning tank 2. , 21b. The inclined surfaces 21b and 21b are inclined from the middle of the portion closed by the upper door 6, and the vertical surfaces 21a and 21a and the inclined surfaces 21b and 21b are connected by curved surfaces 21c and 21c. In addition, a guide groove for guiding the operation of the pivoted portion described later is provided in the middle of the inclined surfaces 21b and 21b. The inclined surfaces 21b and 21b are curved surfaces as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, but may be other flat surfaces.

  The upper door 6 has an inclined portion 6a inclined along inclined surfaces 21b and 21b on both side edges of the opening portion 21, and a vertical portion 6b connected to the inclined portion 6a and extending along the vertical surfaces 21a and 21a of the opening portion 21. The translucent part 61 is provided in the inclined part 6a. The upper door 6 includes a translucent portion 61, a frame-shaped frame 62 disposed around the translucent portion 61, and two pivoted portions 63 and 63 projecting on both sides of the upper portion of the frame 62. A decorative plate 64 that covers the front surface of the frame 62, and a translucent plate 65 that is held by the decorative plate 64 and is disposed on the front surface of the translucent portion 61. The pivotally supported portions 63 and 63 are integrally formed of a light-transmitting synthetic resin material, and a decorative plate 64 is coupled to the frame 62. The inclined portion 6a is a curved surface similar to both side edges of the inclined surfaces 21b and 21b, but may be a flat surface.

  The pivoted support parts 63 and 63 are substantially C-shaped and are arranged in the guide groove. The distal ends of the pivoted support parts 63 and 63 are pivotally supported by pivots 9 and 9 on both sides of the housing 1. . When the upper door 6 opens the opening 21, the pivotal support is such that the non-light-transmitting portion 66 above the light-transmitting portion 61 faces the outer upper surface 1 a of the housing 1, in other words, the outer upper surface of the cleaning tank 2. The translucent part 61 faces the opening 21.

  The inclined portion 6a and the vertical portion 6b are connected via curved portions 6c along the curved surfaces 21c and 21c on both side edges of the opening portion 21. The curved portion 6c has a long hole 67 passing through the decorative plate 64, and a frame. A plurality of exhaust ports 68 that are molded integrally with 62 and exhaust the warmed air after drying the dishes in the washing tub 2 to the outside are provided, and the exhaust port 68 portion is inserted into the long hole 67. Further, an exhaust port cover 69 is provided on the exhaust port 68 side of the frame 62 to prevent warm air in the cleaning tank 2 from being exhausted directly from the exhaust port 68, and the frame 62 and the vertical portion 6b A reinforcing plate 60 is provided between the decorative plates 64.

  The lower door 7 is made of a synthetic resin formed in a flat shape so as to be disposed along the vertical surface 21 a of the opening 21, and the lower surface on both sides is the placement surface 10 on the floor when the opening 21 is closed. When the opening 21 is opened, it is pivotally supported by the housing 1 so as to be substantially horizontal with the placement surface 10 on the floor. The lower door 7 has a door main body 71 and a decorative plate 72 coupled to the front surface of the door main body 71. A through hole 73 and an opening operation button 11 for opening the upper door 6 and the lower door 7 in conjunction with the pressing operation are provided at the upper center of the decorative plate 72. ing. The opening operation button 11 is interlocked and connected to the upper door 6 and the lower door 7 via an interlocking mechanism (not shown), and the upper door 6 and the lower door 7 are automatically opened by pressing the opening operation button 11. When the door 6 or the lower door 7 is closed, the upper door 6 and the lower door 7 are configured to close together.

  The dishwasher configured as described above presses the opening operation button 11 when the table A is stored in the washing tank 2 with the upper door 6 and the lower door 7 closing the opening 21 of the washing tank 2. As a result, the upper door 6 and the lower door 7 are opened in conjunction with each other, and when the opening 21 is closed, the upper door 6 and the lower door 7 are interlocked by closing the upper door 6 or the lower door 7. And then closes.

  Since both sides of the opening 21 of the cleaning tank 2 are inclined at the upper part and the upper door 6 has the inclined part 6a, when the opening 21 is opened, the inside of the cleaning tank 2 is positioned obliquely above the cleaning tank 2. Since the inside of the cleaning tank 2 can be seen better than when the side edges of the opening 21 are not inclined, and the opening 21 can be opened obliquely upward, the cleaning tank The tableware A accommodated in 2 can be taken out smoothly.

  Further, since the light transmitting portion 61 is provided in the inclined portion 6 a of the upper door 6, the light transmitting portion 61 is located in the cleaning tank 2 at an obliquely upper position of the cleaning tank 2 when the opening 21 is closed. Can be seen through. In addition, when the upper door 6 opens the opening 21, the non-translucent portion 66 above the translucent portion 61 of the upper door 6 faces the external upper surface 1 a of the housing 1, and the translucent portion 61 is the open portion. Therefore, the illumination light can be taken into the cleaning tank 2 from the translucent part 61 of the inclined part 6a, and the inside of the cleaning tank 2 when the opening 21 is open can be easily seen. Moreover, since the outer upper surface 1a of the housing 1 can be used as a mounting surface, articles can be placed on the outer upper surface 1a of the housing 1.

Although the dishwasher provided with the upper door 6 and the lower door 7 has been described in the embodiment described above, the dishwasher according to the present invention has one opening 21 that is rotatable in the vertical direction. It is good also as a structure closed with a door body. In this door body, for example, an upper door 6 and a lower door 7 are integrated, and pivotally supported portions 63 and 63 project from both sides of the upper portion, and the pivotally supported portions 63 and 63 are pivotally supported by the housing 1. The configuration.
In the embodiment described above, the decorative plate 64 is provided on the front surface of the frame 62 of the upper door 6. However, the decorative plate 64 may be omitted, and the frame 62 may be made non-translucent by coloring or the like.
In addition, the inclined surfaces 21b on both side edges of the opening 21 are configured to be inclined from the middle of the portion closed by the upper door 6. However, the entire portion closed by the upper door 6 may be inclined.
In addition, the dishwasher according to the present invention may be configured as a dishwasher having a drying function, which is a dishwasher having a drying function.
