  However, in the conventional washing basket, the user himself has to arrange the tableware while thinking about the tableware arrangement so that the tableware can be washed cleanly.

In other words, although the recommended position of the tableware arrangement is determined for the washing basket, the number, shape, outer diameter and depth of the tableware to be used vary, so the user should use the tableware arrangement recommended by the dishwasher manufacturer. Taking into account the experience, we had to consider the space of the washing basket, the size and shape of the dishes, the arrangement of the dishes, and so on, so that the dishes were placed in the washing basket so that no washing was left. In some cases, the dishwasher is left behind when the washing water does not reach the tableware sufficiently due to the support of the washing basket or the arranged tableware.

For this reason, despite the purchase of a dishwasher, the user's opinion is disliked that the preparation of arranging dishes is disliked and the dishwasher is not utilized.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it becomes possible to provide the dishwasher system which can place a used tableware in a washing basket easily, without worrying about how to arrange the tableware of a dishwasher.

Hereinafter, a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a dishwasher used in the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows an example of a fixing member of a dishwasher washing basket according to the present invention. FIG. 3 shows another example of the fixing member of the washing basket for the dishwasher of the invention.

(First embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 1, the dishwasher of the present invention mainly comprises a dishwasher body 10, a washing basket 12, and a washing nozzle 13. And the washing basket 12 which accommodates the tableware 31 to wash | clean to the inside of the dishwasher main body is provided so that a movement in the front-back direction is possible, and it is comprised so that a dedicated tableware may be accommodated in the washing basket 12. FIG.

The casing 10 constituting the dishwasher main body has a box shape in which one side is open, and an open / close door 11 that closes the opening 14 is provided on one side. The open / close door 11 or the housing opening 14 is provided with a water-stopping packing so that the washing water does not leak outside when the open / close door is closed.

A metal cleaning basket 12 is provided inside the open / close door 11. The metal washing basket used in the present invention has a shape in which wires with a wire diameter of about 2 mm intersect in a lattice shape, the pitch of the lattice is about 2 to 10 cm, and the inside of the lattice has a number of drain holes 121 and It has become.

The washing basket 12 may have a flat shape or a container shape having four side walls as shown in FIG.

In the present invention, a dedicated tableware corresponding to the tableware shape provided in the washing basket is provided. And it is desirable that the tableware receiving shape provided in the washing basket and the dedicated tableware have a one-to-one correspondence. Since the tableware receiving shape and the dedicated tableware correspond one-to-one, the user is less likely to get lost when placing the tableware. In addition, it is desirable that the special tableware be sold together with the dishwasher. In addition, it is desirable that the special tableware has a shape corresponding to the shape of the tableware receptacle, and has a shape that is in close contact with the tableware shape or is held with a clearance of several millimeters.

The washing basket 12 is provided with a number of fixing members 122 that stand from the bottom or side. The fixing member 122 is a protrusion formed in a shape capable of holding the dishes to be cleaned, and is a protrusion capable of closely holding the dedicated dishes of the present invention. At least two protrusions are provided for one dedicated tableware, and the clearance between the dedicated tableware and the protrusions is set to about 0 to 2 mm. The shape of the protrusion is set according to the shape (height, depth, dent, curvature) of the special tableware. Therefore, the special tableware used in the present invention is held more strongly in the washing basket than the tableware installed in the conventional washing basket.

In addition, a drawing, a pattern, a number, or a character of each tableware is shown on the washing basket. As a result, the user can smoothly place the tableware in place (Figure 3).

Dedicated tableware is preferably based on a basic set for one person. Since the basic set for one person is the standard, using this basic set can be used for most meals. In particular, students, single persons, and small-sized households can use the dishwashing system as a system that also serves as a cupboard, making it possible to propose a living scene without a cupboard. Special tableware reduces the need for users to choose tableware, but since dedicated tableware covers the tableware used by a single person, there is no need for a single person to start living alone to prepare a separate tableware. It is.

Here, the basic set for one person is a set of tableware that is frequently used in scenes where meals are eaten on a daily basis. Chopsticks, bowls for noodles, spoons, forks, etc. can be a basic set.

The dishwasher can accommodate one or two washing baskets, and there are more washing baskets than can be accommodated. By providing more washing baskets than can be accommodated, the degree of freedom in washing is increased. From the viewpoint of accommodating three servings separately, it is more desirable to have three or more washing baskets.

In addition, when used by multiple people, it is possible to use the second and subsequent persons in separate washing baskets in which the basic set for one person can be placed. In addition, by making it possible to accommodate one serving in one washing basket, it is also possible to use three meals per day in three washing baskets.
By using the washing basket by replacing it, it becomes possible to wash many dishes in a short time.

In the present invention, since the position of the special tableware is always a fixed position, it is possible to obtain a dedicated ejection nozzle shape that matches the arrangement of the special tableware. It can be expected that the cleaning power can be improved compared to the conventional propeller-type jet outlets by intensive jetting at points where dirt has been difficult to remove. .

In addition, since the movement of the tableware is small, it is possible to set the water pressure to be ejected to be stronger. This also improves the cleaning power. And as for the protrusion provided in a fixing member, what produces a click feeling when a special tableware is mounted is desirable. When the protrusion is formed of a wire, it is possible to prevent the special tableware from being damaged by attaching a cap made of resin or rubber to the tip or contact portion.

The tableware tray provided in the washing basket is provided with at least one movable piece 125 that can be rotated or stretched. That is, a system in which the fixing member provided in the washing basket holds the tableware with one touch is also possible.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2 as a first configuration example, the fixed member 122 includes a pair of movable pieces 125 formed integrally with a base 123 and a support piece 124. The base 123 and the support piece 124 are arranged in a substantially V shape while maintaining a constant angle.

The movable piece is rotatable around an intersection 129 between the base 123 and the support piece 124. In the state where the tableware is not placed, the base 123 of the movable piece 125 is lifted from the bottom, and the support piece is also located outside. In the state where the tableware is inserted into the fixing member 122, the base 123 comes into contact with the bottom, and the support piece moves inward.

When holding the tableware in the washing basket, the tableware is inserted on the base of the fixing member 122 and the base is rotated to the bottom side. The support piece 124 integral with the base 123 also moves inward following the support piece 124. Thereby, the tableware is held between the base 123 and the support piece 124 of the fixing member.

In addition, although it showed in the example of the figure which provided the movable piece on both sides, it is also possible to comprise one as a rotation piece and the other as a fixed piece. The base 123 may be configured to have a slight gap between the base 123 and the bottom as long as the tableware can be held with one touch while the tableware is inserted on the base of the fixing member 122.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3 as a second configuration example, the fixing member 122 provided in the cleaning basket may be configured by a fixed piece 126 and a movable piece 127. The fixed piece 122 is a member that stands vertically from the bottom, and is bent upward in a direction away from the movable piece 127. The end portion is provided with a bulletin board for informing the user of the type of tableware, and the name of the tableware (for example, a small plate) and a picture to be placed on the bulletin board are described. The movable piece 127 is an upright piece that comes into contact with the fixed piece when the tableware is not held.

The fixed piece 126 and the movable piece 127 are coupled to each other by a screw 40 via a lower spacer 128. The movable piece 127 is an elastic member made of a wire material having one end fixed to the lower spacer, bent largely near the center, and bent slightly so as to contact the fixed piece on the tip side. In addition, the tip is a free end and extends away from the fixed piece.

When the user arranges the dishes 310 in the washing basket 12, as shown in FIG. 3, the dishes such as dishes are inserted from the upper space where the fixed piece 126 and the movable piece 127 are in contact with each other by elastic force. Since the movable piece is a member that can be elastically deformed, the movable piece is displaced outward by the thickness of the dish. And while pressing the plate with elastic force, the plate can be raised and fixed to the washing basket. Since the plates can be aligned with one touch, the convenience for the user is greatly improved.

It is also possible to use a resin cleaning basket or a ceramic cleaning basket in place of the metal cleaning basket. Even in this case, the bottom surface of the resin cage has a large number of rectangular, circular, and elliptical drain holes 121. The size of the hole is about 2 cm to 10 cm, and it is sufficient that the water can pass through the washing basket 12 smoothly and the tableware does not fall. A large number of fixing pieces 122 standing from the bottom surface or the side surface are provided in the same manner, whether it is a resin basket or a ceramic cleaning basket.

  By using the above configuration, it becomes possible for the user to easily arrange the dishes in the washing basket, and it is possible to provide a dishwasher system that greatly improves the convenience for the user.
