  Next, the effect | action in the said embodiment is demonstrated. When installing the dishwasher, there are cases where the front of the dishwasher is placed toward the front along the side wall of the kitchen, and cases where the side is placed toward the front. In recent kitchens, a controller 41 that centrally controls hot water supply facilities such as a bathtub and a hot water heater is generally installed on the side wall of the kitchen. When installing the dishwasher in the kitchen, there is no problem if the controller 41 is installed at a position higher than the height of the main body 1 of the dishwasher, but if the controller 41 is installed slightly lower, In order to ensure the visibility of the provided display section and the operability of switches, the dishwasher must be installed away from the wall surface, which impairs the workability in the kitchen. And when the controller 41 is installed lower, a dishwasher cannot be installed.

  However, according to the configuration of the present invention, since the upper shape of the main body 1 is formed in a substantially arc shape that bulges upward from the front surface to the back surface, even when the controller 41 is installed low, it contacts the controller 41. The main body 1 can be installed close to the wall surface without doing so. Further, since the user can visually recognize the controller 41 through the main body 1 from above, the visibility of the display unit is obtained and the operability of the switches is also ensured.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the visibility and operability of the controller 41 can be secured and the installation property can be improved in a kitchen in which the controller 41 such as a bathtub or a water heater is already installed.

  Further, the upper shape of the main body 1 and the upper shape of the upper door 6 are formed in a substantially arc shape that bulges upward, and the upper door 6 is moved along the arc-shaped portion 1a of the upper portion of the main body 1 to move the front surface of the main body 1 Since the opening 4 provided from the top to the top is configured to open and close, the height of the main body 1 when the opening 4 is opened can be kept low, and the height of the installation space can be increased, for example, a hanging cabinet is already installed. It can be easily installed in a low place.

  Moreover, if the shape seen from the side of the main body from the back surface to the top surface of the cleaning tank 2 is substantially perpendicular, the cleaning water that flows from the back surface to the top surface of the cleaning tank 2 during cleaning is difficult to reach the top surface, and the tableware from the top surface. Since there is little washing water that pours onto the surface of the tableware, the cleaning performance of dirt attached to the surface of the tableware is low. However, according to the configuration of the present invention, the amount of washing water on the top surface of the washing tank 2 increases, so As a result, the dirt attached to the surface of the tableware can be surely washed away.

  The opening 4 is formed so as to include a front surface 1a of the main body 1 and an arc-shaped portion 1c provided so as to bulge outward from the front surface 1a to the upper surface. The set-up property of the tableware is improved by facilitating the removal, and the installation in the kitchen in which the controller 41 such as a bathtub or a water heater is already installed becomes easy.

  Further, the upper end portion 39 of the opening 4 provided on the upper surface of the main body 1 is formed so as to be positioned in the vicinity of the top portion 17 of the arc-shaped portion 1c that bulges upward. It can be set as the structure which opens half. For this reason, the field of view up to the back of the upper basket 9 is widened, and tableware can be easily put in and out. In particular, since the tableware basket 3 is configured so that the distance from the front surface of the main body 1 at the center of the arcuate portion 1c that bulges upward is the center of gravity of the dishes, the platter or the like is the opening of the washing tank 2 It can be easily put in and out without contacting the edge of 4.

  As described above, according to the present invention, by setting the opening 4 to approximately half of the front side of the upper surface of the main body 1, it is possible to easily set and take out tableware and the like from the tableware basket 3. Can be improved.

  Moreover, since the opening part 4 is the structure which open | releases the front surface and upper surface of the main body 1, the door body 5 which covers this opening part 4 becomes longer in the up-down direction than the conventional dishwasher of a comparable main body dimension. For this reason, in the case of a single door with an upward opening structure, the door becomes an obstacle and the tableware cannot be taken out. In the case of the downward opening configuration, if the door is placed on the front, the door is opened from the main body, and there is no cooking space on the kitchen counter. If the door is placed vertically as shown in FIG. Will not be able to open the door completely.

  However, according to the configuration of the present invention, the door body 5 is constituted by two doors of the upper door 6 and the lower door 7, and the door is provided on the flat portion 1 d of the opening 4 provided from the front surface to the upper surface of the main body 1. By providing the engagement portion 18 by providing the dividing position of the body 5, the amount of protrusion of the lower door 7 to the front of the main body 1 when the opening 4 is opened is reduced, and the front of the main body 1 when the main body 1 is installed is reduced. The installation depth can be reduced, and the installation of the main body can be improved even when a water tap or the like is present in the vicinity of the main body 1.

  Further, the position (point D) at which the upper door support portion 23 intersects the arc-shaped portion 1 c that bulges upward from the main body 1 at the end of the opening operation of the door body 5 is behind the upper end portion 39 of the opening 4. It is configured as follows. When installing a dishwasher on the sink side of a narrow kitchen, it is better to place it vertically on the right or left sink side of the kitchen than on the front side where the opening 4 of the main body 1 faces the user. Many. In the case of this vertical installation, when the door body 5 is opened and the tableware is taken in and out, the upper door support portion 23 of the present invention covers the cover 37 when the upper door 6 is closed. It is formed in a substantially arc shape that bulges upward so as to be accommodated therein, and when the upper door 6 is opened, the upper door support portion 23 is from a position that intersects the arc-shaped portion 1c that bulges upward. Since it is displaced rearward and the upper door support portion 23 does not obstruct the opening 4, the visibility is not obstructed and the setability of the tableware can be improved.

  Moreover, since the cover 37 which accommodates the upper door support part 23 in the upper door 6 is provided, and the upper door support part 23 can be accommodated in the cover 37 when the door body 5 is closed, the upper door support part 23 and Since the upper door rotation shaft 37 is not exposed to the outside of the main body, it is possible to prevent foreign matter such as dust and dust from being caught or accumulated on the upper door rotation shaft 25, and to smoothly open and close the door body 5. Can do.

  Further, the forward / backward movement basket 55 is provided with a forward / backward movement basket sliding portion 60, and can slide back and forth between the forward / backward movement basket support portion 61 provided in the fixed cage 54. In addition, a forward / backward moving basket stopper portion (not shown) is provided in the forward / backward moving basket support portion 61 so that the pulling amount in the direction of the arrow C from the upper basket 52 of the forward / backward moving basket 55 is smaller than the pulling amount of the lower basket 53. ing. A small basket 62 for storing small items such as chopsticks and spoons is fixed to the forward / backward movement basket 55, and the small basket 62 is also drawn forward together with the drawer of the forward / backward movement basket 55. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, the effect | action in the said embodiment is demonstrated. Only a cup and a hot water with a thread bottom arranged in the lower basket 53 are placed face down in the lower part of a dish such as a large dish arranged in the upper basket 52. The thread bottom of hot water only has a structure in which fine contaminants such as food are likely to accumulate, and cannot be washed unless a large amount of washing water is applied. In the configuration of the present invention, the washing water hitting the platter is concentrated and dropped to the lower portion in the radial direction of the platter. Since the lower basket 53 is configured to align the bottom of the hot water only at a position where a large amount of washing water flows down, the outer side of the cup or the bottom of the hot water only can be cleaned cleanly.

  Further, since the upper basket 52 is configured to be positioned in front of the front end portion 65 of the upper door 6 whose front end portion 67 is opened, the front side portion of the upper stage basket 52 is opened when the opening 4 is opened. Tableware can be easily put in and out.

  In addition, regarding the setting of tableware, the user sets tableware stacked at random, but sets different types of tableware in order. In addition, the tableware once set may be set again in another place. In this way, the user sets while moving back and forth between the upper basket 52 and the lower basket 53. Therefore, in a conventional dishwasher, when setting tableware in the upper basket 52, the upper basket 52 is pulled out, and then when setting tableware in the lower basket 53, the upper basket 52 is stored in the washing tub 2. When the tableware of a different kind is taken in and out, such as pulling out the lower basket 53 from the top, it is necessary to put in and out the upper basket 52 and the lower basket 53 many times.

  According to the configuration of the present invention, tableware can be freely put in and out of the upper basket 52 and the lower basket 53 in a state where the lower basket 53 is pulled out, so that the setability of the tableware can be improved. The upper basket 52 is configured such that the peripheral edge 68 of a dish such as a platter or a middle dish can be set along the upper shape of the cleaning tank 2. Without putting in, you can grab and set the tableware from the front, making it easier to set.

  In addition, since the dishes are placed in the upper basket 52 with respect to the substantially arc-shaped cleaning tank 2 bulging upward, an efficient tableware arrangement is possible, and more dishes can be stored.

  Further, in the case where the tableware basket 3 moves freely with respect to the washing tub 2 as in the prior art, if the opening area of the upper part of the main body is increased, the main body 1 is reinforced in order to prevent deformation of the main body due to stress applied to the main body 1. There was a need to do. According to the configuration of the present invention, the upper basket 52 that has been used only for the tableware set up to now is fixed by the both side surfaces 2a and the back surface 2c of the washing tub 2 so that the strength of the main body 1 is increased. The function as can be obtained.

  With respect to the stress applied in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction of the main body 1, the cleaning tank 2 is bonded to the cleaning tank 2 by the uneven shape between the fixed basket support member 57 and the fixed basket support member 69 provided on the side surface and the back surface of the cleaning tank 2. Since the upper basket 52 is integrated, the entire upper basket 52 can receive the stress. Further, regarding the vertical stress generated when heavy tableware is set in the upper basket 52, the fixed basket support member 57 and the fixed basket support member 69 have a predetermined length in the vertical direction. The entire washing tank can receive the stress. For this reason, the main body which has the high setting property and high rigidity by a wide opening part is realizable at low cost.

  Needless to say, if dirt is attached to the upper basket 52, it can be removed from the cleaning tank 2 to remove it.

  Further, by providing at least the front part of the forward / backward moving basket 55 so as to be able to be drawn outward from the opening 4 of the cleaning tank 2 in the direction of the arrow C, even when a cup is set in the back of the upper basket 52, By taking out the moving basket 55 forward, it is possible to improve the take-out property.

  Further, since the pull-out amount from the upper basket 52 of the forward / backward movement basket 55 is smaller than the pull-out amount of the lower basket 53, even if the upper basket 52 is pulled out with the lower basket 53 fully pulled out, the lower basket 53 This will not interfere with the removal of the tableware.

  Further, since the small basket 62 is fixed to the forward / backward moving basket 55 and the small basket 62 is also pulled forward together with the drawer of the forward / backward moving basket 55, it is possible to improve the take-out property of small articles.

  An opening 64 is provided in the fixed basket 54 fixed to the cleaning tank 2, and a detachable detachable basket 63 that opens and closes the opening 64 is provided. The long tableware 66 can be cleaned by placing the long tableware 66 through the opening 64 that appears by removing the detachable basket 63 from the fixed basket 54 and placing it in the lower basket 53.

  It was the structure which can set the tall tableware (long tableware 66) with a small diameter and a height exceeding 30 cm by removing an upper stage basket conventionally. However, since the long tableware 66 cannot be supported at the upper part, the long tableware 66 moves in the cleaning tank due to vibration caused by the water pressure at the time of cleaning or the opening / closing operation of the door, and comes into contact with other tableware, There were problems such as falling and breaking.

  According to the configuration of the present invention, when the long tableware 66 whose set state is unstable is washed, the detachable basket 63 can be detached from the fixed basket 54 and the long tableware 66 can be passed through the opening 64 to be supported. The movement of the long tableware 66 due to water pressure and the collision with other tableware can be prevented.

  As described above, the dishwasher according to the present invention can be easily set and removed from the tableware basket, and is therefore useful as a dishwasher with improved tableware setting.
