Description

  The present invention relates to a tableware sterilization dryer comprising a thawing room, a tableware drying room, and a cutting board washing room. More specifically, the cutting board surface is washed with hot water of 70 ° C. or higher in the cutting board washing room, so that the O-157 bacteria on the cutting board surface. The present invention relates to a novel tableware sterilizer / dryer capable of sterilizing various germs.

  As for the conventional dishwasher / dryer, there is also known an apparatus that simultaneously cleans and dries the tableware and cutting board placed inside the apparatus, but in this case, the smell generated from the cutting board during drying remains in the apparatus or is dried. There was a problem of sticking to the tableware.

  For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-16475 “Dishwasher” has a “box-shaped frame that is fully open, a cleaning layer inscribed in the frame, and a tableware basket that stores tableware and the like in the cleaning layer, A nozzle that injects cleaning water onto the tableware on the tableware basket, and a fan device that is disposed on one side of the outer surface of the rear wall of the cleaning tank. A drying air path that is fed into the cleaning tank from the rear wall and the other end of the rear wall of the cleaning tank where the drying air path is not disposed are expanded into a space between the rear wall and the back surface of the frame. A vertically elongated bulging portion formed in a protruding manner and a rear end portion of the tableware basket so that a rear end portion of a cutting board stored in the tableware basket protrudes from the tableware basket and is accommodated in the bulging portion. A dishwasher equipped with a cutting board with a vertically long cutting board. We provide a dishwasher that does not change the size of the dishwashing device itself by storing it in the outlet, but there is a possibility that the smell of the cutting board will adhere to the tableware during drying as described above. Yes.

JP-A-6-217919 “Dishwasher” as a dishwasher for preventing the attachment of this odor is divided into a left and right storage room by a partition wall having a vent hole, and a first storage room and a second storage room. And a tableware sterilization dryer in which a cleaning unit and a drying unit are provided in the first storage chamber, and it is shown that odors from the cutting board can be prevented from adhering to the dried tableware.
JP 7-16475 JP-A-6-217919

  The purpose of the dishwasher disclosed above is to wash dishes and chopping boards built in the apparatus, but in order to wash the dishes, the deposits attached to the dishes are washed away and There was a problem that odors were generated every time it accumulated at the bottom and dried.

  As for washing of cutting boards, such as O-157 bacteria, which have recently caused food poisoning problems, can be sterilized with warm water at the washing temperature (around 30-50 ° C.) of the conventional washing machine. However, there has been a problem that the possibility of adhering to the surface of the cutting board even after cleaning is large, but conventionally there is only a cleaning means such as temporarily cleaning the cutting board surface with boiling water or chemical cleaning It was.

The present inventor has intensively studied to solve such problems, and performs drying of tableware and washing and cutting of a cutting board in separate rooms, particularly cleaning of the cutting board at least at 70 ° C. or more, and cleaning the cutting board. The present invention provides a novel tableware sterilization dryer that can be taken in and out with a takeout tool.

  That is, the first of the present invention is an integrated tableware sterilization dryer, and the room is divided into a thawing room, a tableware drying room and a cutting board washing / drying room from the top, and warm air generated from the cutting board washing / drying room is generated. It is a dish sterilization dryer characterized by circulating in the order of a tableware drying room and a thawing room.

The second of the present invention is an integrated tableware sterilization dryer, the room has a three-part structure of a thawing room, a tableware drying room and a cutting board washing and drying room,
At the bottom of the thawing chamber, a plurality of small holes for circulating hot air from the tableware drying chamber are provided,
At the bottom of the tableware drying room, a plurality of small holes for circulating hot air from the cutting board washing and drying room are provided, and a storage table on which tableware can be detachably mounted is provided in the room,
The cutting board washing / drying chamber is a tableware sterilization drying machine including a taking-out tool on which a cutting board is placed and movable to the left and right, and a hot water storage section capable of storing hot water.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the storage section of the tableware drying chamber is a partition body having a plurality of vertical partitions, and is provided with legs that can move within a guide frame provided at the bottom of the drying chamber. It is the tableware sterilization dryer of Claim 2 characterized by the above-mentioned.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the cutting board storage tool in the cutting board cleaning / drying chamber is a half-open state box through which a part of the cutting board can be inserted, and a hinge is attached to the end of the box so that it can move up and down. 3. The tableware sterilizing and drying machine according to claim 2, wherein a spring material is fixed to the front end side of the box.

  The tableware sterilization dryer of the present invention is a single device, but in a cutting board washing and drying room, it is possible to dry while washing a cutting board to which various bacteria such as O-157 bacteria easily adhere, and to wash the cutting board. It is a versatile device that can dry and thaw the tableware placed in the tableware drying chamber and the frozen material in the thawing chamber using steam generated from hot water of 70 ° C. or higher used when performing.

  In particular, miscellaneous bacteria such as O-157 must be disinfected at least at 70 ° C. and cannot be disinfected by simply washing with hot water like a doctor, especially for many children's meals. It is a necessary equipment for lunch centers and the like.

  Hereinafter, the tableware sterilization dryer of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a dishwasher / dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention. The dishwasher / dryer 1 according to the present invention includes a thawing chamber 2 for thawing frozen products from the upper side, a drying chamber 3 for drying dishes, and a cutting board washing / drying chamber 4 for washing and drying cutting boards.

  In this case, a first shelf board 10 is provided between the thawing chamber 2 for thawing the frozen material and the tableware drying chamber 3, and the shelf board 10 is provided with a plurality of small holes having a diameter of about 10 mm. The hot air circulating from the cutting board washing / drying chamber 4 through the tableware drying chamber 3 is received.

  A second shelf plate 11 is also provided between the tableware drying chamber 3 and the cutting board washing drying chamber 4 in the same manner as described above, and a plurality of small holes having a diameter of about 10 mm are provided in the shelf board 11 to clean the cutting board. It is structured to receive warm air circulating from the drying chamber 4.

  In the tableware drying chamber 3, as shown in FIG. 2, a storage unit 5 having a plurality of partitions on which a plurality of tableware is placed in an inclined state is incorporated. In this case, the storage unit 5 Two legs 6 are fixed to the bottom so that the legs 6 can move in the frame of the guide frame 12 provided on the upper surface of the second shelf plate 11 so that the storage part 5 is on the front side. To be able to withdraw.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the cutting board washing / drying chamber 4 is provided with a hot water storage chamber 8 capable of storing hot water of at least 70 ° C. or more on the bottom side, and a cutting board container 7 for inserting and fixing a cutting board thereon.
