Description

The present invention relates to a dishwasher.

Conventionally, a dishwasher has been proposed that enables a dishwasher to be moved from a washing tank to a sink (see Patent Document 1).

The conventional dishwasher is provided with an upper basket provided on the upper side of the washing tank and a lower basket provided on the lower side of the washing tank as a dish basket. Of these, the upper car is composed of a first car (basket-shaped base portion) that can be pulled out from the washing tank and a second car supported on the first car. The second car can be removed from the first car and moved to the sink, and the second car moved to the sink can be used as a drainage car.

In this way, by making it possible to use the second basket of the dishwasher as a drainer basket to attach to the sink, dirty dishes (tableware prewashed in the sink) can be stored in the second basket in the sink. However, by moving the second basket to the dishwasher as it is and washing it, it is possible to reduce the trouble of setting the dishes one by one in the dishwasher, so that the efficiency and labor saving of the tidying up work are aimed at. be able to.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-100360

The second basket provided in the conventional dishwasher is provided with a tableware support portion for leaning the tableware. By leaning the tableware against the tableware support portion, an appropriate space is formed between the tableware, and the cleaning liquid sprayed toward the tableware inside the washing tank is evenly applied to each tableware.

However, the first basket cannot be provided with a tableware support portion having a structure for leaning tableware for the convenience of placing the second basket. If a tableware support for leaning tableware is provided on the first basket, the second basket interferes with the tableware support when the second basket is placed, and the second basket is stably supported. I can't.

For this reason, when the tableware is placed on the first basket from which the second basket has been removed and washed in the washing tank while the second basket is taken out of the washing tank and used as a drainer basket, the tableware is leaned against it. There was an inconvenience that the shape and quantity of tableware that could be placed were restricted.

In view of the above points, the present invention limits the tableware that can be placed when the dishwasher is used only in the first basket while the second basket is taken out from the washing tank and used as a drainage basket. The purpose is to provide a highly convenient dishwasher that can be used without any problems.

In order to achieve such an object, in the present invention, in a dishwashing machine in which tableware is placed in a tableware basket provided in a washing tank and the tableware is washed, the tableware basket is the first basket, the said. It is configured to be able to be placed on the first car and has a second car that functions as a drainage car when removed from the first car. The second car has a first tableware support part on which tableware is leaned. The first tableware support portion is provided detachably with respect to the second car, and is also detachably configured with respect to the first car.

The first tableware support part is for washing the dishes with the dishwasher so that the washing liquid sprayed toward the dishes hits each tableware evenly by forming an appropriate space between the dishes. Therefore, when the second basket is used as a drainage basket, the first tableware support portion may not be necessary. Therefore, according to the present invention, when the second basket taken out from the inside of the washing tank is used as a drainer basket, the unnecessary first tableware support portion can be removed from the second basket and attached to the first basket. .. Since tableware can be leaned against the first basket to which the first tableware support is attached, restrictions on the shape and quantity of tableware that can be placed in the first basket are reduced, and the degree of freedom in the method of placing tableware is reduced. Convenience is improved by increasing the number of items. Further, since the dishes can be placed at an appropriate interval between the dishes, effective washing can be performed when the dishwasher is washed only with the first basket.

Further, in the present invention, the tableware basket includes an upper basket provided on the upper side of the washing tank and a lower basket provided on the lower side of the washing tank, and the upper basket and the lower basket are provided. One of the baskets is provided with the first basket, the second basket, and the first tableware support portion, and the other basket is provided with the second tableware support portion on which the tableware is leaned, and the second tableware support portion is provided. Is detachably provided with respect to the other car and is also detachably configured with respect to the first car.

According to the present invention, when either one of the upper basket and the lower basket includes the first basket, the second basket, and the first tableware support portion, the second tableware attached to the other basket. The support portion can be removed from the other car and attached to the first car. According to this, for example, when the second tableware support part becomes unnecessary for placing a large tableware such as a pot in the other basket, the second tableware support part is attached to the first basket and used. The degree of freedom in the method of placing the tableware to be placed in the first basket is further increased, and the convenience is improved.

Further, in the present invention, the first tableware support portion is characterized by including a frame body and a plurality of support pins that are erected from the frame body and support the tableware.

According to this, each support pin can be integrally attached to and detached from the second car and the first car only by operating the frame body. For example, the first tableware is compared with a structure in which a plurality of support pins are attached and detached separately. The support can be easily attached and detached.

Further, in the present invention, both the first basket and the second basket are formed of a wire rod, and the first tableware support portion is fitted to a part of the wire rod of the second basket. The first basket is characterized in that the position corresponding to the fitting portion of the first tableware support portion has the same shape as that of the second basket.

According to this, since the shape of the portion where the fitting portion of the first tableware support portion is fitted is common to the second basket and the first basket, the first tableware support portion removed from the second basket can be easily removed. Can be attached to the first car.
