Yes. The moving bar 38 is positioned at the second position with its downward slide restricted by contact with the upper annular portion (contact receiving portion) 62a of the rod-like portion 62 in the cleaning posture state.

  Then, at the time of loading into the dishwashing apparatus 3, that is, at the time of dishwashing by the dishwashing apparatus 3, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the tableware basket 1 is in a normal posture state in which the upper regulating portion 31 is located on the upper surface side. The posture is changed to the cleaning posture state rotated 90 degrees so that the upper restricting portion 31 is located on the rear surface side.

  In this cleaning posture state, the rear restricting bar 52 of the rear restricting portion 51 supports the plurality of tableware 2 stored in the storage space portion 11 in the horizontal direction from below, and the first restricting portion of the upper restricting portion 31 is fixed. The tableware 2 is brought into contact with the tableware 2 at the rear end, which is one end of the plurality of tableware 2 stored in the storage space 11 so that the bar 34, the second fixed bar 35, and the moving bar 38 are horizontally stacked. Of the tableware 2 in which the lower regulation bars 42 and 43 of the lower regulation part 41 are horizontally stacked and stored in the storage space part 11. The forward movement of the tableware 2 is regulated by the contact of the other end with the tableware 2 at the front end.

  In this state before washing, the tableware 2 at the front end is in contact with the lower restricting portion 41, but the tableware 2 at the rear end is not in contact with the upper restricting portion 31, and There is a movement space 13 between the upper regulating portion 31 and the tableware 2 is unstable in the tableware stacking direction in the tableware basket 1.

  Next, the operation and the like of the tableware basket 1 will be described.

  When the tableware 2 is taken in and out of the storage space portion 11, the upper regulating portion 31 is in a normal posture state positioned on the upper surface side. At this time, the moving bar 38 which is the upper restricting body 33 is positioned at the first position which is a contact position with the horizontal bar portion 47b of the front regulating bar 47, and the table 2 in the storage space 11 is viewed from above. Avoid overlapping.

  For example, in a school or the like, after eating a school lunch, each student sequentially puts the tableware 2 he / she used into the storage space 11 from the tableware opening / closing opening 16. Then, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a predetermined set number of tablewares 2 are stored in the storage space 11 so as to be stacked in the vertical direction. In addition, between the tableware 2 of the upper end of the set number of tableware 2 in the storage space part 11, and the fixed upper control body 32 of the upper control part 31, the movement space for moving the tableware 2 at the time of tableware washing | cleaning There remains room 14 to become 13.

  The tableware 2 is transported in a normal posture, but the set number of tableware (tableware group) 2 in the storage space portion 11 includes a front restricting portion 46, a rear restricting portion 51, a left restricting portion 56 and Since it is surrounded by the right regulating portion 57, there is no problem that the tableware 2 jumps out of the storage space portion 11 during transportation.

  And when washing the tableware 2 in the tableware basket 1 using the tableware washing apparatus 3, as shown in FIG.8 and FIG.9, the tableware basket 1 is set to tableware so that the upper control part 31 may be located in the rear surface side. 2 and 90 degrees to change the posture to the cleaning posture state.

  At this time, the moving bar 38 slides down by its own weight along the both upper opposing bars 22 from the first position to the second position which is the contact position with the annular part 62a of the bar-like part 62 of the handle part 61. That is, based on the posture change of the tableware basket 1, the moving bar 38 slides by its own weight from the first position to the second position without directly operating the moving bar 38. As a result, the movable bar 38 faces the upper end side of the tableware 2 in a standing posture and can come into contact with the upper end side of the tableware 2, and the first fixed bar 34 and the second fixed bar 35 are separated from the rear regulating unit 51. It becomes the state which can be contact | abutted with the lower end side of this tableware 2 facing the lower end side of the tableware 2 of the standing posture as a support part which stood up.

  Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the tableware basket 1 in the cleaning posture state is put into the tableware cleaning device 3.

  Here, the tableware washing | cleaning apparatus 3 is a washing | cleaning apparatus for business which wash | cleans continuously using the washing water W, without immersing in immersion water, for example, storing the some tableware 2 in the tableware basket 1, A plurality of tableware 2 is provided in a curtain shape from above toward the tableware 2 in the tableware basket 1 being moved and disposed above the moving area 71 in which the tableware basket 1 moves. A slit-like jet port 72 for jetting the cleaning water W includes a plurality of cleaning nozzles 73 formed on the lower surface. In addition, the plurality of injection port portions 72 arranged at intervals in the moving direction of the tableware basket 1 are formed in a slit shape having a longitudinal direction in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the tableware basket 1.

  For example, the direction in which the tableware stacking direction (the front-rear direction of the tableware basket 1 in the cleaning posture state) of the plurality of tableware 2 stored in the storage space 11 in the tableware basket 1 is the moving direction of the tableware basket 1 by the conveying means 71. The tableware basket 1 is placed on the conveyance start end of the conveyance means 71 so as to be orthogonal to the (conveyance direction), and the tableware basket 1 is put into the tableware washing apparatus 3 by the operation of the conveyance means 71.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the width of the curtain-shaped washing water W, that is, the horizontal direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the tableware basket 1 along the tableware stacking direction from the ejection port portion 72 of the washing nozzle 73 is greater than the width size. When the curtain-like washing water W that has been applied hits all the tableware 2 in one tableware basket 1 from above, the tableware 2 other than the tableware 2 at the other end that has been in contact with the lower regulating portion 41 is moved into the movement space 13. Moves toward the side all at once and leaves the adjacent tableware 2.

  As a result, with respect to all the dishes 2 in the tableware basket 1, a cleaning gap 75 is simultaneously generated between the adjacent dishes 2, and a part of the cleaning water W enters each of these gaps 75. As a result, the deposits (residues such as leftovers and soup) that are dirt on the front and back surfaces of the tableware 2 are removed. The size of each gap 75 generated by the curtain-like washing water W is substantially equal, and is large enough for the washing water W to enter and remove the stains on the tableware 2. Even if the gap 75 is a slight size, if the cleaning water W enters, the dirt of the tableware 2 is removed by the immersion effect.

  In addition, although it is said that the gap | interval 75 arises between the adjacent tableware 2 regarding all the tableware 2, "all" here includes not only a strict meaning but substantially all the meanings. That is, for example, because leftover food or the like adheres between the adjacent tableware 2, the cleaning gap 75 may not easily occur. In this case, a gap 75 is generated between the adjacent dishes 2 by the cleaning water W from the spray port portion 72 of at least one of the second and subsequent cleaning nozzles 73.

  In this manner, the cleaning operation is repeatedly and sequentially performed by the curtain-shaped cleaning water W sprayed from the plurality of cleaning nozzles 73 arranged in the moving direction of the tableware basket 1.

  For example, although not shown, the tableware basket 1 may be put into the tableware washing apparatus 3 so that the tableware stacking direction coincides with the moving direction of the tableware basket 1 to perform dishwashing.

  According to such a tableware basket 1, unlike the conventional tableware basket, for example, the movable bar 38 is overlapped with the tableware 2 in the storage space portion 11 when viewed from above without operating any doors and hook mechanisms. The tableware 2 can be easily put in and out of the storage space 11 using the tableware opening / closing opening 16 in a state where the tableware 2 is located at the first position.

  Further, since the moving bar 38 slides downward by its own weight from the first position to the second position along the upper opposing bar 22 when the tableware basket 1 is changed from the normal posture state to the washing posture state, In addition, the upper and lower portions of the tableware 2 in the standing position can be supported by the moving bar 38 and the fixed bars 34 and 35 located at the second position when washing the dishes, and the storage space 11 of the tableware 2 can be supported. It is possible to reliably regulate the movement outside and the overturning of the tableware 2, and an appropriate cleaning operation can be performed.

  Furthermore, the storage space 11 for storing the tableware 2 is a space having the same size as the outer dimension of the tableware 2 in a plan view, and the tableware basket 1 has an extra space other than the storage space 11 for storing the tableware 2. Since there is almost no space and the tableware basket 1 is compact, it is possible to easily secure a storage space for the compact tableware basket 1 itself.

  Note that the moving bar 38 is not limited to a longitudinally long shape that is not bent at the middle portion in the left-right direction as shown in FIG. 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, as compared with the case shown in FIG. The left and right direction longitudinally bent portions may be bent at a plurality of, for example, four places in the left and right direction intermediate portion so that the tableware opening / closing opening 16 becomes large.

  In other words, the moving bar 38 shown in FIG. 11 includes three bar portions 38a, 38a, 38b along the left-right direction and two inclined rod portions 38c, 38c inclined with respect to the left-right direction. A space defined by the rod portion 38b and the inclined rod portions 38c, 38c on the left and right sides of the movable rod 38, which is located in front of the front restricting portion 47 and protrudes from the front surface of the frame 10. The portion 80 is an increased portion of the tableware opening / closing opening 16.

  When the moving rod 38 shown in FIG. 11 is used, the tableware opening / closing opening 16 increases with the space portion 80 as compared with the case where the moving rod 38 shown in FIG. 1 is used. It is possible to put the hand in 80 and easily grasp the heel part 2b, and thus the tableware 2 can be taken in and out of the storage space part 11 more easily.

  Further, the upper restricting portion 31 is not limited to the one having the fixed upper restricting body 32 and the movement upper restricting body 33, and may be any one having at least the movement upper restricting body 33. Only the regulating body may be provided, and the movement of the tableware 2 may be regulated by supporting the central portion in the vertical direction of the tableware 2 in the standing posture with only the regulating body when moving the dishes.

  Furthermore, the tableware basket 1 is not limited to the configuration having one storage space portion 11, and may have a plurality of, for example, left and right storage space portions.

  Furthermore, the tableware 2 is not limited to a substantially rectangular (polygonal) tray (dish), and may be a substantially circular tray, a substantially circular or polygonal bowl, and the tableware 2 that is a storage object. The type of is arbitrary.

  It should be noted that both ends of the movable rod 38 that can be slid are not limited to the configuration formed in an annular shape so as to cover the outer periphery of the upper opposing rod 22. If the movable rod 38 does not come off the upper opposing rod 22, You may form in the state which bent both ends of the stick | rod 38 at the acute angle, respectively.
