The upper restricting portion 17 includes a first upper restricting rod 18 and a second upper restricting rod 19 which are spaced apart from each other in the front and rear direction, and the left and right central portion of the first upper restricting rod 18 and the left and right direction of the second upper restricting rod 19. The central portion is connected by a connecting rod 20 having a longitudinal longitudinal shape. That is, the upper restricting portion 17 includes the first upper restricting rod 18, the second upper restricting rod 19, and the connecting rod 20.

  The first upper restriction rod 18 is bent at a predetermined position (for example, four middle positions) so that the opening / closing opening 16 for tableware is larger than the case where it is not bent and is elongated in the left-right direction. It is composed of three rod portions 18a, 18a, 18b along the direction and two inclined rod portions 18c, 18c inclined with respect to the left-right direction. And the 1st upper control bar | rod 18 which consists of this bending bar is located facing the rear end of the opening part 16 for tableware entrance / exit. The second upper restricting bar 19 is formed in a longitudinal direction that is located on a straight line along the left-right direction.

  The left end portion of the first upper restriction rod 18 and the left end portion of the second upper restriction rod 19 are fixed to the left upper rod 21 that is longitudinal in the front-rear direction, and the right end portion of the first upper restriction rod 18 and the right end of the second upper restriction rod 19 The portion is fixed to the upper right bar 22 that is longitudinal in the longitudinal direction. Note that the rear end portion of the upper left bar 21 and the rear end portion of the upper right bar 22 are connected by a connecting rod 15 that is elongated in the left-right direction.

  When the tableware A is put in and out of the storage space portion 11, the tableware A stored in the position closer to the front side of the storage space portion 11 (space 11a when entering and leaving) and the first upper restriction rod 18 of the upper restriction portion 17 are flat. It has a configuration that does not overlap each other visually. Although not shown, the upper left bar 21 and the upper right bar 22 are attached with handles that are gripped when the tableware basket 10 is carried.

  Further, the basket body 12 is disposed on the lower surface of the storage space portion 11, and is a lower restriction that is a support portion that slidably supports a plurality of tableware A stored in the storage space portion 11 while being stacked in the vertical direction. Part 23. The lower restricting portion 23 is composed of a plurality of, for example, three longitudinally extending lower restricting rods 24 arranged in the left-right direction at intervals.

  Each lower regulating bar 24 has a front end fixed to a front lower bar 25 having a longitudinal direction in the left and right direction, a rear end part fixed to a rear lower bar 26 having a left and right direction in a longitudinal direction, and a middle part in the front and rear direction having a longitudinal direction in the left and right direction. It is fixed to the intermediate bar 27.

  The left end of each rod 25, 26, 27 is fixed to the longitudinally lower left rod 28, and the right end of each rod 25, 26, 27 is secured to the longitudinal longitudinal lower right rod 29. ing. Further, the lower left bar 28 and the upper left bar 21 are connected by a plurality of vertically extending connecting rods 30, and the lower right bar 29 and the upper right bar 22 are connected by a plurality of vertically extending connecting rods 31. It is connected.

  Further, the basket body 12 is disposed on the front surface of the storage space portion 11 and moves forward of the tableware A by abutting against the bowl A3 of the plurality of tableware A stored vertically stacked on the storage space portion 11. Has a front restricting portion 33 for restricting movement of the head. The front restricting portion 33 is composed of a pair of left and right front restricting rods 35 that are vertically spaced apart and face each other through a front opening 34.

  The distance between the left and right front restricting bars 35 is shorter than the outer dimensions of the tableware A, and the storage space 11 is opened forward through the front opening 34 between the front restricting bars 35. As a result, particularly with respect to the circular tableware A, in the state where a part of the bowl A3 of the tableware A protrudes from the front opening 34 to the front of the tableware basket 10, the entrance space 11a of the storage space 11 is provided. On the other hand, since it can be taken in and out, stacking on the tableware A stored in the entrance / exit space 11a while holding the tableware A by hand and taking out from the entrance / exit space 11a are facilitated.

  The lower end of the left front restricting bar 35 is fixed near the left end of the front lower bar 25, and the upper end of the left front restricting bar 35 is bent leftward and fixed to the front end of the upper left bar 21. Similarly, the lower end of the right front restricting bar 35 is fixed near the right end of the front lower bar 25, and the upper end of the right front restricting bar 35 is bent rightward and fixed to the front end of the upper right bar 22. .

  Further, the basket body 12 is disposed on the rear surface of the storage space portion 11 and is moved to the rear side of the tableware A by abutment with the bowl portion A3 of the plurality of tableware A stored in the storage space portion 11 while being stacked in the vertical direction. A rear restricting portion 37 for restricting the movement of the image forming apparatus. The rear restricting portion 37 has two rear restricting rods (support rods) having a pair of left and right vertically extending in the vertical direction and having a lower end fixed to the rear lower rod 26 and an upper end fixed to the second upper restricting rod 19 and facing each other. ) It consists of 38.

  The distance between the left and right rear restricting bars 38 is shorter than the distance between both front restricting bars 35 so that the bowl A3 of the tableware A does not protrude rearward from the rear surface of the tableware basket 10. In addition, the outer peripheral surface part which contacts the collar part A3 of the tableware A among the back control rods 38 is formed of, for example, a resin material having a small friction with the tableware A.

  Meanwhile, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the tableware basket 10 is fixedly provided on the left and right sides of the basket body 12 by welding or the like, and is paired with left and right facing each other via the storage space portion 11. A rectifying plate (scattering suppression means) 41 which is two plate-like rectifying bodies is provided. In other words, the left rectifying plate 41 is disposed along the left side surface of the storage space portion 11, and the right rectifying plate 41 is disposed along the right side surface of the storage space portion 11.

  Both the right and left rectifying plates 41 are vertically positioned near the sides of the plurality of dishes A stored in the basket body 12 while being dishwashed by the dishwasher 9, and the water pressure from the washing water Accordingly, a part of the washing water entering the gap 40 generated between the adjacent tablewares A is prevented from scattering from the inside of the gap 40 toward the side of the tableware A.

  Each of the rectifying plates 41 for rectifying the washing water is composed of only one plate member having a constant thickness and made of, for example, a resin rectangle, and the entire rectifying plate 41 is in a vertical plane. Located along. That is, the rectifying plate 41 is composed of, for example, only the vertical plate portion 42, and is constituted by a vertical flat plate that is not bent.

  Further, the rectifying plate 41 is located inward from the side surface of the car body 12. That is, the left rectifying plate 41 is positioned so as to be spaced apart from the left connecting rod 30, and the right rectifying plate 41 is positioned so as to be separated from and opposed to the right connecting rod 31.

  Further, the lower end portion of the rectifying plate 41 is fixed to the rear lower rod 26 and the intermediate rod 27, and the upper end portion of the rectifying plate 41 is fixed to the first upper restricting rod 18 and the second restricting rod 19. The rear end portion of the rectifying plate 41 is located in the vicinity of the rear surface of the car body 12, but the front end portion of the rectifying plate 41 is located a predetermined distance away from the front surface of the car body 12.

  When the tableware basket 10 is in the cleaning posture state (see FIGS. 4 to 6), the upper end portion (the front end portion in the normal posture state) of the current plate 41 is from the central portion in the vertical direction of the tableware A in the basket body 12. And the lower end portion of the rectifying body 41 (the rear end portion in the normal posture state) is located at the same height (including substantially the same height) as the lower end portion of the tableware A in the basket body 12. .

  At this time, the upper end portion of the rectifying plate 41 is located above the central portion in the vertical direction of the tableware A and below the upper end portion of the tableware A. That is, for example, the upper end portion of the rectifying plate 41 is located at the same height (including substantially the same height) as the vertical central portion in the upper half of the tableware A.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, when the tableware basket 10 in which a plurality of dirty tableware A are stacked and stored in the storage space 11 is put into the tableware washing apparatus 9, The tableware basket 10 is changed from the normal posture state to the cleaning posture state by rotating 90 degrees so that the tableware stacking direction of the tableware A becomes the horizontal direction.

  That is, for example, the worker once lifts the tableware basket 10 in the normal posture state, and rotates the tableware basket 10 90 degrees so that the front restricting portion 33 is on the upper side, and puts the tableware basket 10 in the cleaning posture state.

  When the tableware basket 10 is in the cleaning posture state, the two rear regulation bars 38 of the rear regulation unit 37 support the plurality of tableware A stored in the storage space unit 11 so as to be slidable from below. The upper restricting rods 18, 19 of the upper restricting portion 17 are brought into contact with the bowl A3 of the tableware A at one end of the plurality of tableware A stored in the storage space portion 11 in the horizontal direction. Of the plurality of dishes A stored in the storage space portion 11 so that the lower restriction rod 24 is horizontally stacked in the storage space portion 11. The movement of the tableware A in the other direction (right direction in FIG. 6) is restricted by contact with the bottom surface portion A1 of the tableware A at the other end.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, in this cleaning posture state, the plurality of tablewares A that are stored in the basket body 12 while being stacked in the horizontal direction are inclined to lean toward the tableware A on the other end. The upper end of tableware A at the other end is in contact with the lower restricting portion 23, but the upper portion of the tableware A at one end is not in contact with the upper restricting portion 17, and the upper end of the tableware A at one end is the upper limit. There is a moving space 13 for moving the tableware A with respect to the basket body 12 by the water pressure of the washing water in the tableware basket 10 when washing the tableware. The table is unstable in the stacking direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in this cleaning posture state, there is a gap 45 between the side end portion of the tableware A in the tableware basket 10 and the inner surface of the rectifying plate 41. The side end portion and the inner surface of the rectifying plate 41 are not in contact with each other.

  Next, the operation of the tableware basket 10 will be described.

  When the tableware A is taken in and out of the storage space 11 of the tableware basket 10, the tableware basket 10 is brought into a normal posture state (in / out posture state) so that the front regulating portion 33 is on the front side.

  For example, in a school or the like, after eating a school lunch, each student sequentially stores the tableware A that he / she has used in the storage space 11 from the tableware opening / closing opening 16.

  Then, a predetermined number of tablewares A are stored in a vertically stacked manner at a position closer to the rear side of the storage space 11. In other words, the tableware A is sequentially stacked in a position closer to the front side of the storage space 11, that is, the entrance / exit space 11a. When a predetermined number (for example, 15) of tableware A is stacked up and down, a predetermined number of stacked tableware ( The tableware group A is slid on the lower restricting portion 23 and stored in a position near the rear side of the storage space portion 11, that is, in the cleaning space 11b. The entrance / exit space 11a and the cleaning space 11b partially overlap each other.

  At this time, between the tableware A at the upper end of the plurality of tableware A stored in the storage space portion 11 of the basket body 12 in the vertical direction and the upper regulating portion 17, the tableware A is caged at the time of tableware washing. There remains room for a movement space 13 for movement with respect to the main body 12.

  The tableware A is transported in the normal posture state shown in FIG. 1 and the like, but the tableware A in the tableware basket 10 is viewed from four directions by the front restricting portion 33, the rear restricting portion 37, and the right and left rectifying plates 41. Since it is surrounded, there is no problem that the tableware A jumps out of the tableware basket 10 during its transportation.

  When the tableware washing apparatus 9 that continuously cleans the tableware A is used to clean the dirty tableware A in the tableware basket 10, the tableware basket 10 is placed in a horizontal direction 90 so that the tableware stacking direction is horizontal. After rotating from the normal posture state to the washing posture state, it is put into the tunnel-like washing chamber of the tableware washing apparatus 9.

  Here, the tableware washing device 9 is a commercial washing device that continuously cleans the tableware A using the washing water without immersing it in the immersion water while the plurality of tableware A is stored in the tableware basket 10, for example. is there.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the dishwashing apparatus 9 places a tableware basket 10 in a cleaning posture containing a plurality of dishes A on the transport surface 50 on the upper surface in a horizontal movement direction (transport direction). Curtain-like cleaning from above toward the tableware A in the moving tableware basket 10 which is arranged in parallel with a gap in the moving direction above the moving region 51 in which the tableware basket 10 moves, and the transport means 51 such as a conveyor to be moved A slit-like jet port 53 for jetting water is provided with a cleaning nozzle 52 formed on the lower surface.

  The plurality of injection port portions 53 arranged at intervals in the moving direction of the tableware basket 10 are formed in a slit shape having a longitudinal direction in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the tableware basket 10. Note that the length in the longitudinal direction of the slit-shaped injection port 53 is longer than the length in the left-right direction, which is a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the tableware basket 10. Further, the slit-shaped injection port portion 53 may be composed of a single opening or may be composed of a plurality of openings arranged at intervals.

  Then, for example, the tableware basket 10 in the cleaning posture is placed on the conveyance surface 50 of the conveyance means 51 so that the tableware stacking direction of the plurality of tableware A in the tableware basket 10 coincides with the movement direction of the tableware basket 10. The tableware basket 10 is put into the washing chamber of the tableware washing device 9 by the operation of the conveying means 51.

  The worker places the tableware basket 10 on the transfer surface 50 of the transfer means 51 in the cleaning posture so that the opening A4 of the tableware A in the tableware basket 10 faces the moving direction.

  Then, when the vertically downward curtain-like cleaning water is sprayed from the injection port portion 53 of the cleaning nozzle 52 toward the tableware A in the tableware basket 10, the tableware A has a water pressure of the cleaning water as shown in FIG. As a result, the gap 40 is slid on the two rear restricting bars 38 while changing the posture from the inclined posture to the vertical posture, so that a gap 40 having a predetermined size is generated between the adjacent dishes A. Washing water enters 40, and the contamination of the tableware A is removed by the entering washing water.

  That is, the cleaning water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 52 causes the tableware A adjacent to each other to be separated one by one from the head to the tail one after another, and a gap 40 is formed. Cleaning is performed sequentially.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the parallel rectifying plates 41 of the tableware basket 10 have a part of the washing water that has entered the gap 40 formed between the adjacent tableware A from the gap 40. It suppresses scattering toward the side of tableware A.

  In other words, the gap 40 between the vertical tableware A and the next inclined tableware A is gradually narrowed from the upper side to the lower side, so that the washing water that has flowed into the gap 40 is reduced. Some will try to flow out from the side opening of the gap 40, but the side of the side opening of the gap 40 is covered with the rectifying plate 41, so the wash water cannot escape to the side of the tableware A. The outflow of the cleaning water from the gap 40 to the outside of the gap 40 is suppressed.

  As a result, most of the washing water that has flowed into the gap 40 flows from the upper end side to the lower end side of the tableware A along the surface of the tableware A and from the upper side to the lower side in the gap 40 between the tableware A. .

  As a result, an appropriate amount of washing water passes through the gap 40 between the adjacent dishes A, and the washing water spreads over the entire surface of the dishes A. Residue) is properly removed.

  Further, even if the gap 40 between the vertical tableware A and the next inclined tableware A is narrowed from the upper side to the lower side, the washing water may escape to the side of the tableware A. It is not possible to flow to the lower side of the tableware A while maintaining the amount of water, and passes through the gap 40 while expanding the lower side of the gap 40 that is narrower than the upper side. The removed deposit is surely washed away.

  Thus, according to the tableware basket 10, scattering of the wash water that has entered the gap 40 between the tableware A adjacent to each other is suppressed by the rectifying plates 41 that form a pair of right and left as a rectifying body as the scattering suppressing means. Therefore, the stains of the tableware A can be appropriately removed during the dishwashing by the tableware washing device 9. Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of washing the dishes by the dish washing apparatus 9, and the washing operation can be performed efficiently.

  Further, for example, when the tableware basket 10 is placed on the transport surface 50 of the transport means 51 so that the tableware stacking direction of the tableware A is orthogonal to the moving direction of the tableware basket 10, Similar effects can be obtained. In this case, a gap 40 is simultaneously generated between the adjacent dishes A for all the dishes A in the dish basket 10 (see Japanese Patent No. 4256913).

  In the first embodiment, the configuration in which the entire rectifying plate 41 is positioned along the vertical plane (virtual vertical plane) when the tableware basket 10 is in the cleaning posture state has been described. Therefore, for example, when the tableware basket 10 is in the cleaning posture state, at least a part of the current plate 41 is inclined with respect to the vertical surface, and the lower end is positioned along the inclined surface (virtual inclined surface) positioned on the tableware A side. But you can.

  For example, the rectifying plate 41 according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 9 has one upper portion (a position above the central portion in the vertical direction of the rectifying plate 41) such that the upper end side is directed outward (in a direction away from the tableware A). ), And is formed of a substantially U-shaped bent plate. That is, the rectifying plate 41 is provided with a vertical plate portion 61 positioned along the vertical plane, and an inclination that is provided integrally with the upper end of the vertical plate portion 61 and that is inclined with respect to the vertical plane and is positioned closer to the tableware A toward the lower end. And an upper inclined plate portion 62 positioned along the surface.

  Then, the upper inclined plate portions 62 of both the rectifying plates 41 are separated from the tableware A and the washing water from the injection port portion 53 is guided toward the tableware A side, and therefore enters the gap 40 between the adjacent tableware A. The amount of washing water is increased, and the efficiency of washing dishes can be further improved.

  Further, for example, the rectifying plate 41 according to the third embodiment shown in FIG. 10 has a lower portion (more than the central portion in the vertical direction of the rectifying plate 41) so that the lower end side is directed inward (direction approaching the tableware A). It is composed of a substantially U-shaped bent plate bent at a lower position. That is, the rectifying plate 41 is provided with a vertical plate portion 63 positioned along the vertical plane, and an inclination that is provided integrally with the lower end of the vertical plate portion 63 and is inclined with respect to the vertical plane and is positioned closer to the tableware A toward the lower end. And a lower inclined plate portion 64 positioned along the surface.

  Of the wash water that has entered the gap 40 between the adjacent tableware A by the lower inclined plate portions 64 of the both rectifying plates 41, the wash water that has passed near the side end portion of the tableware A becomes the side end of the tableware A. Rather than immediately flowing out from the lower side of the area, it is guided toward the center in the width direction at the lower part of the tableware A, so the amount of water flowing out to the side of the wash water that has entered is further reduced. The washing water can stay in the gap 40 as much as possible, and the dish washing efficiency can be further improved.

  Further, for example, the rectifying plate 41 according to the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 11 is configured by a flat plate that is not bent, and is inclined with respect to the vertical plane, and the inclined plate portion located on the tableware A side toward the lower end. It consists of only 65.

  Then, the inclined plate portions 65 of the both rectifying plates 41 can guide the wash water from the ejection port portion 53 away from the tableware A to the tableware A side, and out of the wash water that has entered the gap 40 between the tableware A. Washing water that has passed through the vicinity of the side edge of A does not immediately flow out from the lower side near the side edge of tableware A, but can be guided to the center in the width direction at the bottom of tableware A. Efficiency can be further improved.

  In each of the above embodiments, the configuration in which the tableware basket 10 has only one storage space portion 11 has been described. However, for example, a configuration having a plurality of storage space portions 11 arranged in the left-right direction may be used.
