DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dishwasher basket for a dishwasher.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pair of pins facing each other at a predetermined interval is erected from a bottom surface in a box-shaped frame having an upper opening, and a plurality of pairs of the pins are aligned at a predetermined interval. 2. Description of the Related Art There are many dishwasher baskets of a dishwasher having a dish holding portion for vertically holding and holding tableware so as to be sandwiched between a pair of pins provided adjacent to each other.

[0003] Conventionally, a pair of pins have been fixed to both pins. In such a case, the distance between pins is adjusted to a tableware with a shallow bottom (for example, a platter), and when holding tableware with a large diameter and a deep bottom (for example, a bowl) or a cooking utensil (for example, a pan), The lower part of the bowl can only be supported shallowly, and is placed on a pin. Therefore, it could not be securely stored in the basket and was unstable. And, since the bottom of the tableware tends to turn upward due to the weight of the bottom, in such an unstable state, it easily moves upward due to the impact of the injection of the washing water, and water accumulates after washing. There is a possibility that the dust may remain or dirt may remain.

[0004] On the other hand, there is an apparatus in which a tableware holding section comprising a pair of pins in a plurality of rows is made detachable in a frame body, and the tableware holding section is detached when storing a pot or a bowl. This is, for example, the actual fairness 1-111166
No. (A47L15 / 50).

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned apparatus, the portion from which the tableware holding portion is removed has no pin and has a flat surface. Has to be placed face down, taking up a large amount of space, making it impossible to store other dishes sufficiently. Further, there is a problem that the washing water injected from below is blocked in a wide range, and the washing water does not spread to other portions. further,
There is also a risk that the detached tableware holding part may be lost.

The present invention relates to a tableware basket for a dishwasher,
This problem is solved.

[0007]

[0010]

[0011]

[Function] When storing a shallow bowl, for example, a platter,
Set the rotating pin up. Then, a container is stood and stored between a pair of adjacent pins. Thus, the platter is held in a standing state sandwiched between the pair of pins.

On the other hand, when storing a large, deep-bottomed container, for example, a pan, the rotating pin is rotated to bring it down. Then, the pan is put into a space formed by turning down the rotating pin, and one side of the pan is held by the one-side holding portion of the fixing pin, and is stored in a standing state.

More specifically, one side is placed on the inclined portion of the fixing pin while the pan is slightly inclined so that the vicinity of the mouth of the pan enters between the inclined portions of the adjacent fixing pins. That is, the pot is supported by the inclined portion of the fixing pin, and is held upright with the mouth slightly downward. At this time, since a stopper is provided at the upper end of the inclined portion, when the pot is light, the pressure of the washing water sprayed upward (obliquely upward by centrifugal force) from the lower washing nozzle is pushed. The stopper is prevented from moving upward along the inclined portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pan from falling off the inclined portion and falling down.

[0014]

Further, when storing a small plate or the like in the extra space after storing the pan, a small plate is inserted between the pins of the falling rotating pins, and sandwiched between the rotating pins. And hold the plate upright. At this time, the pivot pin has a bent shape in the middle part, and when the pivot pin falls down and the tip end of the pin comes into contact with the adjacent wire,
The bending point is located above or below the line connecting the contact point and the pivot point, that is, the pin lies in an inverted V-shape or V-shape. The height of the plate (= the height of the rotation axis point) and the position of the bending point are different from each other. Therefore, the plate can be held more firmly.

[0016]

FIG. 12 shows a dish washer for accommodating a dish basket according to an embodiment of the present invention. The tableware basket is placed on rails 51 provided on both sides in the washing room 50. In this dishwasher, the water stored at the bottom of the washing chamber 50 is heated by the looped sheathed heater 52,
The water is sent to the cleaning nozzle 54 by the cleaning pump 53, and is sprayed from a spout 55 provided on the upper surface of the cleaning nozzle 54 toward the tableware basket placed above the nozzle 55. Thus,
The dishes stored in the tableware basket are washed.

Hereinafter, a tableware basket according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a tableware basket according to an embodiment of the present invention. The tableware basket 1 is formed by bending metal wires and combining them by welding or the like, and is finished by applying a resin coating. Reference numeral 2 denotes a box-shaped frame, and the bottom and side surfaces of the frame 2 are formed of a grid-like wire. Also, at the four corners of this frame 2,
A roller 3 that rolls on the rail 51 when the tableware basket 1 is put into the dishwasher is provided.

In the frame 2, various types of tableware holders are provided. The tableware holder is roughly divided into a large plate holder 4 for holding a large plate, a small container 5 for holding chopsticks and spoons, and a bowl holder 6 for holding a bowl with a deep bottom such as a bowl or a bowl. And a small plate holding portion 7 mainly for holding small plates.

The platter holding portion 4 is provided at a rear portion in the frame 2 and is divided into a first holding portion 4a and a second holding portion 4b with a storage portion 8 for a small case described later interposed therebetween.

The first holding portion 4a is formed of a pair of pins 11 facing each other from two wires 9 and 10, which constitute a bottom surface of the frame 2 and are provided at a predetermined interval from each other.
And five pairs of the pins 11 are aligned in the arrow X direction.

The pair of pins 11 are provided at fixed positions near the rear side surface (rear surface) and fixed pins 12 provided from a wire 9 provided at a position remote from the rear surface. It comprises a rotating pin 13 erected from a wire 10 (hereinafter referred to as a rotating wire) rotatably supported by the parts 14 and 15. The rotation pin 13 is rotatable around the rotation wire 10 in the front-rear direction (arrow Y direction) with respect to the fixed pin 12.

The fixing pin 12 is formed by bending a pin standing upright from the base outward at an intermediate portion to form an inclined portion 12a (corresponding to a one-side holding portion). Further, the stopper 12b is bent inward to stand upright to form a stopper 12b. The rotation pin 13 is formed symmetrically with the fixed pin 12 and is also bent at an intermediate portion.

The second holding portion 4b is provided with the fixing pin 12
A pin 16 erected from the same wire on which is erected,
Although provided on the same line beside the rotating wire rod 10,
A pair of pins 19 including a pin 18 erected from a fixed wire 17 is aligned in three sets in the direction of arrow X. The shape of the pair of pins 19 of the second holding portion 4b is the same as the shape of the pair of pins 11 of the first holding portion 4a.

The first holder 4a corresponds to the tableware holder of the present invention, and the pair of pins 11 of the first holder 4a corresponds to the pair of pins of the present invention.

The accessory case 5 is a resin molded product, and is finely divided into a plurality of rooms so that chopsticks, spoons and the like are hard to fall down. And this accessory case 5
Is detachably attached to the storage section 8.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, on the side of the accessory holder 5 on the side of the second holding portion 4b, a resin for accommodating a blade portion of a knife K such as a kitchen knife between the side portions. A holding piece 20 is detachably attached, and a plurality of support pieces 21 integrally supporting the upper and lower ends of the blade portion are provided from the side of the accessory case 5. The holding piece 20 and the support piece 21
Thus, the blade is held.

The holding piece 20 attached to the accessory case 5 is located above the vicinity of the rotating wire 10 and uses the lower end of the holding piece 20 and the side of the accessory case 5. Then, a locking portion for holding the rotating pin 13 in a standing state is provided.

That is, a vertically elongated rib 22 is integrally formed at the lower end of the holding piece 20 at a predetermined interval between the side of the accessory case 5 and the side of the accessory case 5, and the receiving portion is formed between the side and the side. 23 is formed on the rotating wire 10, and when the rotating pin 13 is in an upright state, a locking pin 24 whose tip is locked to the housing portion 23 is erected. . Further, from the side of the accessory case 5, a projection 25 projecting in a mountain shape is formed, which narrows an entrance into and out of the storage portion 23 in order to lock the locking pin 24 in the storage portion 23.

Thus, when the rotation pin 13 is in the upright state, the locking pin 24 is locked in the housing portion 23, and the outside of the rotation pin 13 (the side opposite to the fixed pin).
Is prevented by the locking pin 24 hitting the lower end of the holding piece 20. Further, the inward fall (fixing pin side) is prevented by the locking pin 24 hitting the projection 25.

However, the locking pin 24 in the accommodation portion 23
When a certain amount of force is applied to the inside, the ribs of the holding pieces 20 are pushed outward by overcoming the peaks of the projections 25. Since the rib 22 is made of resin and slightly deforms and expands outward, the locking pin 24 passes therethrough while expanding the entrance and exits from the housing portion 23. As a result, the locked state is released, and the rotation pin 13 falls inward.
Conversely, when the locking pin 24 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 23 while expanding the entrance in the same manner, the rotating pin 13 is locked. In this way, the rotating pin 13 can be switched between a standing state and a state in which the rotating pin 13 is tilted inward.

The bowl holding portion 6 is provided at a front portion inside the frame 2 and is connected to the bottom and front surfaces of the frame 2 to form a gate 26 located therebetween. X
A plurality of sets are aligned in the direction. The central portion 26a of the gate 26 is curved in the horizontal direction according to the shape of a bowl or bowl.

The small plate holding portion 7 is provided on the left side of the frame 2 when viewed from the front, and includes a main small plate holding portion 7a provided on the back side and an auxiliary small plate holding portion provided on the near side. 7
b. The main small plate holding portion 7a has substantially the same depth as the large plate holding portion 4, and the auxiliary small plate holding portion 7b
Has substantially the same depth as the bowl holding section 6.

In the main small dish holding portion 7a, a pair of upright pins 27 are erected so as to face each other from the bottom surface of the frame 2, a plurality of pairs of the upright pins 27 are aligned, and these are arranged in two rows in front and rear. It was done. In particular, in the front row of the main small plate holding portion 7a, a pair of long upright pins 27a and a pair of short upright pins 27b are alternately arranged. Further, in the auxiliary small plate holding portion 7b, various shaped pins 28 of various predetermined shapes are erected at predetermined positions.

A cup shelf 28 on which only glass or hot water is placed is provided above a substantially left half area of the frame 2. The cup shelf 28 is provided with the auxiliary small plate holding portion 7.
The first shelf 28a installed above the area b and a part of the bowl holding part 6, the area of the main small dish holding part 7a and a part of the large dish holding part 4 (the second holding part 4b) And the second shelf 28b which is installed above the area. Each of the first shelf 28a and the second shelf 28b is formed in a shallow bottom shape, and a partition 29 is provided at the center thereof, and each is further divided into two shelves.

The first shelf 28a is rotatably supported at both ends by support rods 30 and 31 provided from the front and the center of the side surface of the frame 2, and the second shelf 28b is located at the center of the side surface. Both ends are rotatably supported by a support rod 31 and a support rod 32 provided from the rear surface. In this embodiment, both the first shelf 28a and the second shelf 28b are supported by the single support rod 31 at the center of the side surface.

A frame 33 for covering the outside of the cup shelf 28 is provided above the side surface of the frame 2.
3, a pair of shelf stoppers 34 is provided at the front and rear lower ends.

In the first shelf 28a and the second shelf 28b, a tall cup such as glass is placed on the outer shelf surrounded by the frame 33, and the inner shelf not surrounded by the frame 33 is placed on the inner shelf. , A short cup such as a small bowl or hot water is placed.

The first shelf 28a and the second shelf 28b are erected along the frame 33 when not in use, and supported by the shelf stopper 34 during use, and are installed above the left half surface of the frame 2. You. At this time, the container 33 is slightly inclined downward toward the frame 33, so that the containers placed on the respective shelves are supported by the frame 33 and the partition 29.

As described above, based on the above configuration, first, a case where a shallow-bottomed dish is stored in the platter holding portion 4, particularly the first holding portion 4a, The case of storage will be described with reference to FIGS.

When storing a large plate or a small plate that is a shallow bowl, as shown in FIG. 6, the rotating pin 13 is set up. Then, a dish is put upright between a pair of adjacent pins 11. As a result, the plate is held between the pair of pins 11 in a standing state.

At this time, the platter LD is held upright so that its thread end is received between the pair of pins 11, and the upper end of the pair of pins 11, that is, the thread end is expanded at the end. The outside of the part, the periphery of the dish, is supported.
In addition, the small plate SD is supported by a lower portion of the pair of pins 11, that is, a portion that stands upright in parallel with the periphery of the plate.

On the other hand, when storing a large pot with a deep bottom, as shown in FIG. 7, the turning pin 13 is turned inward to be in the down state. Then, the pot P is put into the space formed by turning down the rotating pin 13, and one side of the pot P is held by the fixing pin 12 and stored in a standing state.

That is, the fixing pin 1 adjacent to the vicinity of the mouth of the pan
One side is placed on the inclined portion 12a with the pan slightly inclined so as to enter between the two inclined portions 12a. In this way, the pot is supported by the inclined portion 12a with the mouth slightly downward, and is held upright.

Therefore, unlike a state where the tableware is placed face down with its mouth down, a large storage space is not taken, and other tableware and the like can be stored in the extra space. In addition, the washing water injected from below is not blocked in a wide range, and the washing water easily spreads to other portions. Further, even when storing the pan, there is no need to remove the pins, so that the problem of loss does not occur.

Further, one side of the pot is fixed to the inclined portion 1 of the fixing pin 12.
Since the pot is received at 2a, the pot is supported from both the lower side and the side side, and is more stably supported.

Further, at the tip end of the fixed pin 13 which is the upper end of the inclined portion 12a, the pin is set upright to stop the stopper 12
b is formed, and when the pot is light, it is pushed by the jet pressure of the washing water jetted upward (obliquely upward by centrifugal force) from the lower washing nozzle 54 and upward along the inclined portion 12a. Any attempt to move is prevented by the stopper 12b. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pan from falling off the inclined portion 12a and falling down.

Next, after storing the pan, if a small plate or the like is stored in the extra space, the rotating pin 13
The small plate SD is inserted between adjacent pins, and the lower portion of the small plate is sandwiched between the pins to hold the small plate in an upright state. At the same time, the small plate is also located between the adjacent fixing pins 12, and one side of the small plate is supported between the fixing pins 12.

At this time, the pivot pin 13 has a bent shape at the intermediate portion, and when the pivot pin 13 falls down and the tip end of the pin comes into contact with the wire 9 on which the fixed pin 12 is erected, The bending point A is located below the line connecting the contact point B and the rotation axis point C, that is, since the pins lie in a V-shape, the height of the contact point B is lowered in the vertical direction. Since it is supported at two different positions (= the height of the rotation axis point C) and the height of the bending point A, the plate is resistant to swinging in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the plate can be held more firmly.

Next, a case where only the glass or hot water is stored in the cup shelf 28 will be described. In the case where the tall tableware is not stored in both the area where the first shelf 28a and the second shelf 28b are installed, the first shelf 28a and the second
Since both of the shelves 28b can be used, both shelves are installed and only glass or hot water is placed on both shelves.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, tall glasses are stored in the main small plate holding portion 7a where the second shelf 28b is installed, or the second holding portion 4b of the large plate holding portion 4 is placed.
Or the second shelf 28b cannot be used, and nothing is stored in the auxiliary small dish holding portion 7b or the bowl holding portion 6, which is the area where the first shelf 28a is installed. If short dishes such as bowls and small plates are stored and only the first shelf 28a can be used, only the first shelf 28a is installed, and only the glass and hot water are placed on this shelf. In particular, in the installation area of the second shelf 28b, since the platter holding portion 4 is provided, there are many cases where the second shelf 28b cannot be used.

In such a case, conventionally, the number of cup shelves is one, and the cup shelves are not divided for each region of the tableware holding portion. Therefore, only one table space accommodates tall tableware. , But could not be used above the other areas, but as in the present embodiment, the shelves are divided in consideration of the area of the tableware holding section, so that the shelves can be used efficiently and stored. Efficiency is improved.

FIGS. 9 and 10 show another embodiment of the present invention showing another locking structure of the rotating pin 13. Reference numeral 35 denotes a rotating wire 10 on which the rotating pin 13 is erected. The hook member is attached to both the intersecting wire 40 and the wire 37 running parallel to the vicinity of the rotating wire 10. The hook member 36 includes a support portion 38 that rotatably supports the rotation pin 13.
And a locking portion 39 for receiving and locking the rotation pin 13 in order to hold the rotation pin 13 upright. The rotation pin 13 is locked by being fitted into the locking portion 39 from the inside. The hook member 36 is attached to both the wires 40 and 37 so as not to move back and forth and right and left.

FIG. 11 shows another embodiment of the present invention in which the pivot pin 13 falls outward (the side opposite to the fixed pin).

In this embodiment, when a small plate or the like is stored in an extra space after storing the pan, a small plate S is placed between the adjacent pins of the rotating pin 13 which has also fallen.
D is inserted, the lower portion of the small plate is sandwiched between the pins, and the small plate is held upright.

At this time, when the pivot pin 13 falls outward and the tip end of the pin contacts an adjacent wire, the bending point A is a line connecting the contact point B and the pivot axis point C. Since the pin is located at a higher position, that is, the pin lies in an inverted V-shape, the height of the contact point B (= the height of the rotation axis point C) and the bending point are also set in the vertical direction. Since the plate is supported at two different positions at the height A, the plate is more resistant to forward and backward swinging. Therefore, the plate can be held more firmly. In addition, since the upper part of the plate can be supported more than in the case of the V-shape, it can be stably supported without the support by the fixing pin 12.

[0056]

According to the configuration of the tableware basket according to the first aspect of the present invention, by setting the rotating pin to the down state,
Because a large space is secured, large and deep-bottom vessels such as bowls and pans can be stored using the tableware holder for storing shallow vessels such as large and small dishes.

In addition, since one side of the container is held by the remaining fixing pins so that the container can be stored while standing, the storage space is different from the state where the container is placed face down with its mouth down. It is possible to store other tableware in the extra space without taking up too much space. In addition, the washing water injected from below is not blocked in a wide range, and the washing water easily spreads to other portions. Furthermore, even when storing a large, deep-bottomed container, there is no need to remove the pins, so that the problem of loss does not occur.

Further , be sure to receive one side of the container at the inclined portion.
Support the container from both the bottom and side of the container.
Therefore, the vessel is stably supported.

Further, according to the structure of claim 2 ,
The upper end of the inclined slope portions, the stopper is provided, when the vessel is light as, by being pushed by the injection pressure of the wash water injected into (obliquely upward by centrifugal force) upward from below the cleaning nozzle Any attempt to move upward along the slope is prevented by this stopper. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the vessel from falling off the inclined portion.

Further, according to the structure of claim 3 ,
When storing a large, deep-bottomed container and storing a small plate etc. in the extra space, insert a small plate between the pins of the falling rotating pins and pinch them between the rotating pins. , The small plate is held upright, but at this time, the rotating pin is
It has a bent shape in the middle part, and when the rotating pin falls down and the tip end of the pin contacts the adjacent wire, the bending point is above or below the line connecting the contact point and the rotating axis point. Since the pin is positioned, that is, the pin has an inverted V-shape or V-shape, the height of the contact point of the plate (= the height of the rotation axis point) and the bending position in the vertical direction Since the plate is supported at two different positions of the height of the point, the plate is more resistant to forward and backward swinging of the plate. Therefore, the plate can be held more firmly.
