  Next, the operation of the dishwasher 1 will be described. The dishwasher 1 performs initial hot water supply when the power switch is turned on. Specifically, the hot water in the hot water storage tank 28 is sprayed into the cleaning chamber 3 by the rinse pump 34, whereby water is supplied into the cleaning tank 15. Then, this supply cycle is repeated until the amount of water in the cleaning tank 15 reaches the specified amount of water. The temperature of the water in the hot water storage tank 28 is set to around 80 ° C. Further, an amount of detergent corresponding to the initial hot water supply amount is supplied into the washing tank 15, and the detergent concentration of the washing water in the washing tank 15 becomes a predetermined concentration.

  After the initial hot water supply, when the user racks the tableware P and closes the door 7, the door switch (not shown) detects that the door has been closed, and the operation start signal is a microcomputer (not shown). Is input. When the operation start signal is input to the microcomputer, washing of the dishes is started. The tableware is cleaned by spraying the cleaning water in the cleaning tank 15 toward the tableware P in the cleaning chamber 3. The temperature of the cleaning water in the cleaning tank 15 is set to be 65 ° C to 70 ° C.

  When the cleaning pump 23 is started, the cleaning water stored in the cleaning tank 15 is pumped to the upper and lower cleaning nozzles 12A and 12B via the cleaning water discharge pipe 24 and the like, and the respective cleaning nozzles 12A and 12B. To the tableware P in the cleaning chamber 3. At this time, since each of the cleaning nozzles 12A and 12B continues to rotate due to the reaction force of the injection force, the cleaning water is uniformly applied to the tableware P, and the stain on the tableware P is efficiently washed off.

  The washing water sprayed into the washing chamber 3 is collected in the washing tank 15 while the leftovers washed off from the tableware P are removed by the first filter 14. Further, after the fine leftovers are removed by the second filter 18, it is circulated and supplied again into the cleaning chamber 3 by the cleaning pump 23.

  Next, when the rinsing pump 34 is started, the rinsing water stored in the hot water storage tank 28 is pumped to the upper and lower rinsing nozzles 13A and 13B via the rinsing water discharge pipe 36 and the like, so that each rinsing nozzle is supplied. It sprays toward the tableware P from 13A, 13B. The temperature of the rinsing water pumped from the hot water storage tank 28 is set to around 80 ° C. At this time, since each of the rinsing nozzles 13A and 13B also continues to rotate due to the reaction force of the injection force, the rinsing water is uniformly applied to the tableware P, and the tableware P is efficiently rinsed.

  The rinsing water sprayed on the tableware P is collected in the cleaning tank 15 through the first filter 14 and mixed with the cleaning water, and used as the cleaning water in the next cleaning process. When rinsing water is sprayed into the cleaning chamber 3 and recovered in the cleaning tank 15, excess cleaning water exceeding a certain water level is drained from the overflow pipe 21 and discharged to the outside via the waste heat recovery device 50. The The temperature of the waste water W1 discharged from the overflow pipe 21 is 65 ° C to 70 ° C.

  Waste water W1 discharged from the overflow pipe 21 flows into the storage part 71 from a part of the opening 71A. At this time, heat exchange is performed between the waste water W1 and the feed water W2 that is cooler than the waste water W1 flowing through the feed water pipe 61. The temperature of the feed water W2 supplied from an external water source is 10 ° C to 25 ° C. That is, heat exchange is performed between the wastewater W1 at 65 ° C. to 70 ° C. and the feed water W2 at 10 ° C. to 25 ° C. Thereby, the water supply W2 which flowed in from the one end 61A of the water supply pipe 61 flows out from the other end 61B in a state where the water temperature is higher than that at the time of inflow.

  In the water supply pipe 27B connected to the other end 61B of the water supply pipe 61, the water supply W2 stays in the water supply pipe 61 depending on the open / close state of the electromagnetic valve 27C provided between the waste heat recovery device 50 and the hot water storage tank 28. There may be. In this case, heat exchange is performed between the feed water W2 staying in the feed water pipe 61 and the waste water W1.

  Further, heat having a relatively high temperature (for example, 65 ° C. to 70 ° C.) cleaning water as a heat source is radiated from the bottom surface 19A of the cleaning tank 15. In other words, the storage unit 71 is always heated in a state where the cleaning water is stored in the cleaning tank 15. Therefore, even when the water supply W2 flows through the water supply pipe 61 or stays in the water supply pipe 61 and the drainage W1 does not flow, the temperature of the water supply W2 is suppressed from decreasing.

  Next, the effect of the dishwasher 1 of the said embodiment is demonstrated. In the dishwasher 1 of 1st Embodiment, the medium which transmits the heat | fever of the wash water used as a heat source is arrange | positioned around the waste-water heat recovery apparatus 50. FIG. Thereby, even in the case where the waste water W1 is not flowing in the waste heat recovery apparatus 50 in which heat is exchanged between the waste water W1 discharged from the cleaning chamber 3 and the feed water W2 supplied to the hot water storage tank 28, The temperature drop of the feed water W2 can be suppressed.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, since it fixes to the bottom face 19A of the washing tank 15 so that the opening part 51G of the main-body part 51 may be covered, the bottom face 19A of the washing tank 15 plays the role of the lid | cover of the waste heat recovery apparatus 50. Yes. The bottom surface 19 </ b> A of the cleaning tank 15 is radiated with heat from the cleaning water stored in the cleaning tank 15. Since the waste water heat recovery device 50 is heated by this radiant heat, even if the waste water does not flow through the storage portion 71, it is possible to suppress the temperature drop of the feed water flowing through the water supply pipe 61. The radiant heat from the bottom surface 19A of the cleaning tank 15 is released into the atmosphere, and this use does not affect the temperature drop of the cleaning water.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the storage part 71 formed by the main-body part 51 is formed so that the clearance gap G1 may open between the waste_water | drain W1 and the bottom face 19A of the washing tank 15, when storing the waste_water | drain W1. . Thereby, since the waste water W1 does not contact the bottom surface 19A of the cleaning tank 15, there is no possibility that the temperature of the cleaning water stored in the cleaning tank 15 is lowered.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a dishwasher 101 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference mainly to FIG. The dishwasher 101 of the second embodiment is different from the dishwasher 1 in the first embodiment in terms of the configuration, as shown in FIG. 5, the configuration of the waste heat recovery device 150 is different, and the arrangement method is It is different.
