JP 2004-321283 A

しかしながら、上記従来の食器洗い機のカゴは、以下のような課題があった。従来の棒状の線材から構成された上段カゴ４に食器類をセットするときは、上下方向に長い左右の突起部１４を扇状に広げて食器類１０を支持していた。また、少しでも、食器類１０を多くセットするために、突起部１４のピッチは、セットする食器類１０の深さに合わされていた。そのため、深さの大きく違う食器類１０は、同じ突起部１４でセットできなかった。 However, the basket of the conventional dishwasher has the following problems. When setting tableware to the upper basket 4 comprised from the conventional rod-shaped wire, the left-right protrusion part 14 extended in the up-down direction was extended in fan shape, and the tableware 10 was supported. Further, in order to set as many dishes 10 as possible, the pitch of the protrusions 14 is adjusted to the depth of the dishes 10 to be set. Therefore, the tableware 10 with greatly different depths could not be set with the same protrusion 14.

例えば、深さの大きく違う、皿類と丼などの碗類などである。一般的に良く用いられる皿類１０ａの深さは約３０ｍｍであり、丼１０ｂなどの碗類の深さは約８０ｍｍである。そのため、図６の（ａ）図に示すように、皿類１０ａの深さに突起部１４のピッチを合わせると、図６（ｂ）図に示すように、丼１０ｂなどの碗類が突起部１４と突起部１４の間に入らず、セットできない。逆に、丼１０ｂなどの碗類の深さに突起部１４のピッチを合わせると、図６（ｃ）に示すように皿類１０ａが後方に倒れ上手くセットできないという問題が生じる。 For example, dishes such as dishes and potatoes that differ greatly in depth. The depth of the dish 10a that is generally used is about 30 mm, and the depth of the bowl such as the bowl 10b is about 80 mm. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), when the pitch of the protrusions 14 is adjusted to the depth of the dishes 10a, as shown in FIG. 14 and the protrusion 14 do not enter, and cannot be set. On the other hand, when the pitch of the protrusions 14 is adjusted to the depth of the rod such as the rod 10b, there arises a problem that the dishes 10a are tilted backward as shown in FIG.

また、上記従来の食器洗い機に見られるように、突起部１４が同じ高さでは、丼１０ｂのような深い食器類１０の場合、左右方向にずらそうとしても、丼１０ｂは突起部１４と突起１４部の間にあるので、突起部１４がストッパーになり、食器類１０の位置を左右方向にずらすことはできない。また、突起部１４の高さを、単に前後方向で異なる高さにするだけでは、皿類１０ａのような浅い食器類１０を並べてセットすると、セット時の姿勢が変わってくるので、皿類１０ａが前後方向で干渉するという問題が生じるものである。 Further, as can be seen in the above conventional dishwasher, when the protrusion 14 is the same height, in the case of a deep tableware 10 such as the bowl 10b, the bowl 10b may be protruded from the protrusion 14 even if it is shifted in the left-right direction. Since it exists between 14 parts, the projection part 14 becomes a stopper and the position of the tableware 10 cannot be shifted in the left-right direction. In addition, if the height of the protrusion 14 is simply set to a different height in the front-rear direction, if the shallow dishes 10 such as the dishes 10a are set side by side, the posture at the time of setting changes, so the dishes 10a Causes the problem of interference in the front-rear direction.

また、突起部１４の高さを洗浄槽１の前方で低く、後方で高くするだけでは、丼１０ｂのような深い食器類１０の場合、後方の突起部１４だけでしか、支持できなくなるので、食器類１０のセット時の安定性が悪い。 Also, if the height of the protrusion 14 is low at the front of the washing tank 1 and only high at the back, in the case of deep tableware 10 such as the bowl 10b, it can be supported only by the protrusion 14 at the rear, Stability when setting tableware 10 is poor.

また、セット時の食器類１０の安定性を高めるために、左右の突起部１４を上下方向に長くしているので、従来の上段カゴ４は、食器類１０をセットしようとする時、突起部１４に当り、セットし難いという課題もあった。又、この接触により、食器類１０を突起部１４の先端で傷つけてしまうという課題もあった。 Moreover, in order to improve the stability of the tableware 10 at the time of setting, since the left and right protrusions 14 are elongated in the vertical direction, the conventional upper basket 4 has a protrusion when setting the tableware 10. There was also a problem that hitting 14 was difficult to set. Moreover, the subject that the tableware 10 was damaged by the front-end | tip of the projection part 14 by this contact also occurred.

本発明は上記従来の課題を解決するもので、食器類のセットがしやすく、深さの大きく違う食器類、皿類も、丼などの碗類も同じ突起部でセットできる食器カゴを備えた食器洗い機を提供することを目的としている。 The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and is provided with a tableware basket in which tableware can be easily set, and the tableware, plates, and bowls such as bowls can be set at the same protrusion. It aims to provide a dishwasher.

A plurality of second protrusions having a height lower than the portion, and the first protrusions and the second protrusions are alternately arranged. Shallow dishes such as dishes The lower end of the tableware is supported by the protrusion of the first support and the base of the first or second protrusion of the second support, and the point above the protrusion of the first support The tableware can be set by supporting the upper wall surface on the outer peripheral side of the tableware, and the deep tableware such as a bowl can be used for the projection of the first support portion and the first projection of the second support portion. The lower end of the tableware is supported by the side surface of the table, the wall surface of the tableware is supported by the second protrusion lower than the first protrusion at the rear, and the first of the second support portion at the rear is further supported. The projections can be used to set tableware by supporting the upper wall surface on the outer peripheral side of the tableware by point contact. In addition, in the case of deep tableware where the depth of the tableware is deep and the tableware does not enter the pitch of the protrusions of the first support portion, the tableware is displaced toward the second support portion. It is possible to provide a dishwasher that can support dishes and can easily set dishes such as dishes, dishes, and baskets with greatly different depths using the same protrusion.

第２の発明は、特に、第１の発明の第１の支持部の突起部と、第２の支持部の第１の突起部と第２の突起部の形状を、複数の前記突起部の並び方向から見て、略階段形状としたもので、丼などの碗類の深い食器類も、皿類などの浅い食器類も、形状にかかわらず、食器類の外周面の形状に沿い、糸底付近を逃がし、後方の支持を食器類の外周側の上方の壁面で行うことができるようになる。 In the second invention, in particular, the protrusions of the first support part of the first invention, the shapes of the first protrusions and the second protrusions of the second support part, When viewed from the direction of the line, it has a generally staircase shape. Whether it is deep ware such as cocoons or shallow ware such as dishes, the shape of the bottom of the thread follows the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the ware regardless of the shape. The vicinity can be escaped, and the rear support can be performed on the upper wall surface on the outer peripheral side of the tableware.

第３の発明は、特に、第１又は第２の発明の突起部と、第１の突起部及び第２の突起部の先端形状を、略Ｕ形状または略Ｐ形状としたもので、突起部の先端が丸みを帯びているので、食器類が突起部と接触しても、食器類に傷がつき難くなるものである。 The third aspect of the invention is particularly the projection part of the first or second invention, and the tip shape of the first and second projection parts is substantially U-shaped or substantially P-shaped.

It can be done. Therefore, it is possible to provide a tableware basket that can be set with the same protrusions 16a, 17a, and 17b for the dishes 10a having different depths and the bowls such as the bowl 10b.

一般的に、食器類１０の支持は、食器類１０の下方の端部と、その後方で、食器類１０の外周側の上方の壁面を支えることによって支持されるが、丼１０ｂなどの碗類の深い食器類１０の場合、支持部のピッチが狭いと、外周側の壁面を支えることができず、内側の糸底付近の壁面を支えることになる。よって、深い食器類１０の支持が安定せず、前傾してしまう。本実施の形態は、丼１０ｂなどの碗類の深い食器類１０も、皿類などの浅い食器類１０も外周側の壁面の位置は、ほぼ同じであることに着目し、後方での支持を、突起部１６ａ、１７ａ、１７ｂを階段形状にすることにより、食器類１０の外周面の形状に沿い、糸底付近を逃がし、後方の支持を食器類１０の外周側の上方の壁面で支持できるようにしたものである。故に、一層深さの深い食器類１０、浅い食器類１０のセットがし易くなるものである。 In general, the support of the tableware 10 is supported by supporting the lower end of the tableware 10 and the upper wall surface on the outer peripheral side of the tableware 10, but the tableware 10b or the like is supported. If the pitch of the support portions is narrow, the outer peripheral wall surface cannot be supported and the wall surface near the inner yarn bottom is supported. Therefore, the support of the deep tableware 10 is not stable and tilts forward. In this embodiment, attention is paid to the fact that the position of the outer peripheral wall surface is the same in both the deep tableware 10 such as the bowl 10b and the shallow tableware 10 such as the dish, and the rear support is provided. By forming the protrusions 16a, 17a, and 17b into a stepped shape, the vicinity of the yarn bottom can be released along the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the tableware 10, and the rear support can be supported by the upper wall surface on the outer peripheral side of the tableware 10 It is a thing. Therefore, the deeper tableware 10 and the shallow tableware 10 can be easily set.

また、従来の棒状の線材からなる突起部１４では、先端形状がエッジ状になっているため、使用者が食器類１０をカゴにセットしようとする時、突起部１４と食器類１０の接触により、傷つきが生じていたが、本実施の形態では、突起部１６ａ、１７ａ、１７ｂのそれぞれの先端が略Ｕ形状、略Ｐ形状で丸みを帯びているので、食器類１０が突起部１６ａ、１７ａ、１７ｂと接触しても、食器類１０が傷つき難くなるものである。 Moreover, in the projection part 14 which consists of the conventional rod-shaped wire, since the front-end | tip shape is edge shape, when a user tries to set the tableware 10 in a basket, by the contact of the projection part 14 and the tableware 10, In this embodiment, the tips of the protrusions 16a, 17a, and 17b are rounded with a substantially U shape and a substantially P shape, so that the tableware 10 has the protrusions 16a and 17a. , 17b, the tableware 10 is hardly damaged.

なお、本実施の形態では、洗浄槽１の前方の第２の支持部１７の突起部１７ａ、１７ｂの先端が略Ｐ形状で、後方の第１の支持部１６の突起部１６ａを略Ｕ形状としたが、略Ｐ形状、略Ｕ形状とも同じ効果を持つのでどちらを用いても同じ効果があるものである。 In the present embodiment, the tips of the protrusions 17a and 17b of the second support part 17 in front of the cleaning tank 1 are substantially P-shaped, and the protrusion 16a of the rear first support part 16 is substantially U-shaped. However, since both the substantially P shape and the substantially U shape have the same effect, the same effect can be obtained by using either of them.

また、使用者が洗浄槽１の前方から上段カゴ１５に食器類１０をセットするとき、食器類１０のセットは、突起部１６ａと、第１、第２の突起部１７ａ、１７ｂの間に食器類１０を入れる必要があるが、手前の第２の支持部１７の突起部１７ａ、１７ｂが低いので、手前の突起部１７ａ、１７ｂに食器類１０が当り難いので、後方の第１の支持部１６の突起部１６ａの間に入れ易い。しかも、食器類１０のカゴ奥のセット位置も見やすい。よって、従来のカゴのように使用者がカゴに食器類１０をセットするとき、食器類１０が突起部に当りセットし難いという問題は起こり難い。よって、食器類１０のセット性が一層向上するものである。 Further, when the user sets the tableware 10 on the upper basket 15 from the front of the washing tub 1, the set of the tableware 10 is set between the protrusion 16a and the first and second protrusions 17a and 17b. However, since the projections 17a and 17b of the second support part 17 on the front side are low, it is difficult for the tableware 10 to hit the projections 17a and 17b on the front side, so the first support part on the rear side It is easy to put between the 16 protrusions 16a. Moreover, the set position of the tableware 10 in the back of the basket is easy to see. Therefore, when the user sets the tableware 10 in the basket like the conventional basket, the problem that the tableware 10 does not hit the protrusion and is difficult to set. Therefore, the setability of the tableware 10 is further improved.

なお、本実施の形態では、第１の支持部１６と、突出代の異なる第１、第２の突起部１７ａ、１７ｂを有する第２の支持部１７を、上段カゴ１５に設けたが、下段カゴ５に設ければ、上段カゴ１５と同等の効果が得られるものである。 In the present embodiment, the first support portion 16 and the second support portion 17 having the first and second protrusion portions 17a and 17b having different protrusions are provided in the upper cage 15. If the car 5 is provided, the same effect as that of the upper car 15 can be obtained.

以上のように本実施の形態によれば、食器類１０のセットがしやすく、深さの大きく違う食器類１０、皿類１０ａ、丼１０ｂなどの碗類も同じ突起部でセットできる食器洗い機を提供することができるものである。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is easy to set the dishware 10, and the dishwasher can set the tableware 10, the dish 10a, the bowl 10b, and the like with greatly different depths with the same protrusion. It can be provided.

以上のように、本発明に係る食器洗い機は、簡単な構成で、深さが大きく異なる食器類を同じ突起部でセットでき、食器類のセット性が著しく向上するもので、家庭用、業務用の食器洗い機に広く適用できる。 As described above, the dishwasher according to the present invention has a simple configuration and can set dishes having greatly different depths with the same protrusion, and the setability of the dishes is remarkably improved. Widely applicable to dishwashers.
