DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dishwasher having a door which opens and closes a washing room by rotating the washing room in a vertical direction, and more particularly to an improvement in a structure for preventing water from dripping when the door is opened.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, in a dishwasher, a rack on which dishes or a set of dishes is mounted is moved into and out of the washing room with an openable door. Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-10229 discloses a dishwasher having a hood-shaped door for opening and closing a washing chamber. The dishwasher is opened by rotating the door from bottom to top, and when the door is closed, the door is turned downward. Has become something. Here, when the door is opened after washing is finished, make sure that water drops on the inner wall of the door do not spill out to the outside and that dirty water drops, which are residual water of washing water, do not fall on the cleaned dishes. There is a need to. In order to prevent this from happening, there is a conventional structure in which a gutter structure is provided inside the lower part of the door.

[0003]

That is, a gutter is provided at the lower end inside the door on the front side and the left and right side surfaces of the door, respectively.
When the door is opened, the water in the gutter flows backward, and falls through the opening at the end of the gutter on the side.

However, in the conventional gutter structure, since the height of the front gutter and the height of the side gutter are the same, depending on the remaining amount of water in the gutter, water flows from the side gutter. There is a problem that the water falls from the gutter on the front side before flowing down.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has an improved gutter so that water remaining in the gutter does not drop from the front side when the rotary door is opened from bottom to top. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dishwasher capable of reliably preventing the surroundings from being wet with water and washing water from remaining unwashed due to residual water.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, an object to be cleaned is cut with a nozzle.
Approximately the rear half of the cleaning chamber for cleaning with cleaning water
An opening for storing and taking out the object to be cleaned is formed on the front while covering
Facing the outer box so as to cover approximately the front half of the cleaning chamber.
A dish-washing machine having a hood-shaped door which is composed of a side plate and a curved front plate and which is rotatably supported in a vertical direction, wherein the front lower end of the door and the inner lower end of the side plate communicate with each other.
A gutter is formed, and the rise of the gutter on the front plate side is changed to the gutter on the side plate side.
A dishwasher characterized by being formed higher than the rise of the dishwasher.

[0007]

[Function] When the door is closed and cleaning is performed, water scattered on the inner surface of the door is stored in a gutter on the front plate side inside the door. When the door is turned up from the bottom after cleaning, the gutter on the front plate side
Since well above gutter plate side, the water previously has Tsu front plate
It does not leak from the side and flows to the gutter on the side plate side without fail, and falls from a place where it does not touch the washed dishes and the like.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a hood-type dishwasher, in which a washing tank 3 integrally formed with a water receiving portion 3a is provided inside a main body 2 covered with a stainless steel panel. The washing tank 3 is provided with an overflow pipe 4, and a washing pump 8 for ejecting washing water in the washing tank 3 from the connecting pipe 5 through the washing pipe 6 from the washing nozzles 7, 7 is connected thereto. Rinsing nozzles 9, 9 are supplied with high-temperature water by a rinsing pump (not shown), and rinse the dishes after washing is completed. 11
Indicates a filter.

The cleaning chamber 12, in which the cleaning nozzles 7, 7 and the rinsing nozzles 9, 9 are rotatably disposed, comprises a main body 2
An opening 13 for storing and taking out an object to be washed is provided at an upper portion and is provided at a front surface.
, A canopy-shaped inner box 15 provided inside the outer box 14, and a hood-shaped door 16 that opens and closes the opening 13. The inner box 15 is divided into upper and lower portions by applying the end of the rear portion bent downward to the back wall of the outer box 14 to prevent the washing water from scattering toward the outer box 14.

The hood-shaped door 16 composed of left and right side plates 17b, 17b and a front plate 17a substantially similar in shape to the inner box 15 is turned around a shaft 18 to open and close. As shown in FIG. 3, a lower end inside the door 16, that is, an inner lower end of the front plate 17a is bent obliquely upward to form a gutter 21, and an inner lower end of the side plates 17b, 17b is bent horizontally to form a gutter 22. are doing. The gutter 21 and the gutter 22 communicate with each other, and the height of the gutter 21 on the front side is higher than that of the gutter 22 on the side surface. The door 16 is opened from bottom to top by a handle 23 on the front side, and as it is opened, it enters into the space between the inner box 15 and the outer box 14 as shown in FIG. When the door 16 is opened, not only the front side is opened, but also an open part 30 appears on the side, and the rack 24 (shown by a two-dot chain line) is pulled out from the side, or the tableware 25 (two The lower part of the side plates 17 and 17 of the door 16 is partially notched to form a notch 26 so that the door 16 can be easily taken out.

With the above arrangement, the rack 24 on which the tableware 25 is mounted is disposed at a predetermined position in the cleaning chamber 12, the door 16 is closed, and a cleaning switch (not shown) is pressed. The washing water pumped from the washing nozzle is sprayed from the spray hole while rotating the washing nozzles 7, 7 to wash the tableware 25. After the cleaning, high-temperature water is sprayed from the rotating rinse nozzles 9, 9 to perform the rinse. In the process of washing and rinsing in this way, a part of the scattered water accumulates in the gutter 21 on the front side of the door 16. When the cleaning is completed and the door 16 is opened from the closed state, the water stored in the gutter 21 flows toward the gutter 22 on the side surface, and falls into the water receiving portion 3a from the opening 22b. . Here, if the rising dimension of the side gutter 22 is the same as the front side gutter 21, the gutter 2
Although the water stored in 1 does not flow into the gutter 22 and overflows from the rising portion of the gutter 21, in this structure, the gutter 21 on the front side is formed higher than the gutter 22 on the side. When the door 16 is opened, the overflow does not occur, the residual water spills out of the main body of the washing machine, the hot rinse water remains on the hands, and dirty gutter water is applied to the washed dishes 25. Is gone.

When the door 16 is opened in this manner, the water in the gutter 21 flows away cleanly, and the emptied gutter 21 waits as a receiving portion for splash water for the next washing when the door 16 is closed.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the gutter formed at the lower end of the inside of the hood-shaped door that opens and closes the cleaning chamber has its gutter.
By setting the gutter on the front plate side higher than the gutter on the side plate side , it is possible to easily prevent water remaining in the gutter from dropping from the front plate side when the door is rotated upward from the bottom and opened. As a result, it is possible to easily eliminate the problem that water drops on the inner wall of the door spill out of the main body of the washing machine and wet the surroundings, and the washed tableware is left unwashed due to remaining water.
