しかしながら、特許文献1に示す前記従来の構成において、図8に示すように洗浄槽21を底部を構成する底部構成部材22と側面を構成する洗浄槽部材23に分割する構成として、底部構成部材22と洗浄槽部材23を特許文献2に示すような結合構成を適用した場合、洗浄槽21は引き出し自在に構成されているため、洗浄槽21内に洗浄水が貯められた状態で、引き出し操作を行うと、操作の勢いにより、洗浄水が規定の水位より高い位置まで達し、立ち上がり部24を乗り越え、洗浄槽21の外へ漏れ出すこととなる。   However, in the conventional configuration shown in Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 8, as a configuration in which the cleaning tank 21 is divided into a bottom component member 22 that configures the bottom portion and a cleaning tank member 23 that configures the side surface, the bottom component member 22. When the coupling structure as shown in Patent Document 2 is applied to the cleaning tank member 23, the cleaning tank 21 is configured to be freely drawable, so that the cleaning operation is performed while the cleaning water is stored in the cleaning tank 21. If it carries out, cleaning water will reach a position higher than a prescribed water level due to the momentum of operation, it will get over the rising portion 24 and leak out of the cleaning tank 21.

その対策として、弾性体などで構成されるシール部材(図示しない)を用いて底部構成部材22と洗浄槽部材23の当接面25を水封することが考えられるが、この構成による
と洗浄槽21の引き出し操作により、当接面25に振動や力がかかるため、長期間の使用を考えると全周にわたりシール性を維持することは困難である。シール性が損なわれると、シール性を失った部分から、洗浄ノズル26より噴射された洗浄水が、運転中、継続的に当接面25の外へ漏れ出すこととなる。そのとき他の部分は水封されているため、漏れ出した水を回収することができず、水漏れに至るという課題を有していた。
As a countermeasure, it is conceivable to seal the contact surface 25 between the bottom component member 22 and the cleaning tank member 23 using a sealing member (not shown) formed of an elastic body or the like. Since the pulling operation of 21 applies vibration and force to the contact surface 25, it is difficult to maintain the sealing performance over the entire circumference in consideration of long-term use. When the sealing performance is impaired, the cleaning water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 26 continuously leaks out of the contact surface 25 during operation from the portion that has lost the sealing performance. At that time, since the other part was sealed with water, the leaked water could not be recovered, and there was a problem that water leakage occurred.

本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、前方に開口部を有する食器洗い機本体と、開口部から引き出し自在に設けられ、底部構成部材と洗浄槽部材を接合して構成される洗浄槽を有する食器洗い機において、長期間使用した場合や引き出し操作時においても、前記接合部から水漏れが発生しない食器洗い機を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is a dishwasher body having an opening in the front, a washing tank that is provided so as to be freely drawable from the opening and is configured by joining a bottom component member and a washing tank member.

底部構成部材41の外周上端部と洗浄槽部材40の外周下端部とは上下方向で接合され、この接合部には、溝部43、シールリブ44および第2のシール部材42で構成されるシール部54を設けて、水密にシールしている。そして、遮蔽リブ45と溝部43の間は洗浄水が毛細管現象により吸い上げられない程度の回収空間46を洗浄槽29全周にわたり連通するように設けて、上記シール部54に洗浄水が達することを防止している。遮蔽リブ45先端は底部構成部材41との隙間つまり回収空間46の入り口46aの寸法が上方の回収空間46の主空間46bより小さくなるように構成される。   The outer peripheral upper end portion of the bottom component member 41 and the outer peripheral lower end portion of the cleaning tank member 40 are joined in the vertical direction, and a seal portion 54 constituted by the groove portion 43, the seal rib 44, and the second seal member 42 is joined to the joint portion. It is provided with a watertight seal. A recovery space 46 is provided between the shielding rib 45 and the groove 43 so as to prevent the cleaning water from being sucked up by capillary action so as to communicate over the entire circumference of the cleaning tank 29, so that the cleaning water reaches the seal portion 54. It is preventing. The tip of the shielding rib 45 is configured such that the gap with the bottom component member 41, that is, the size of the entrance 46 a of the recovery space 46 is smaller than the main space 46 b of the upper recovery space 46.

また、遮蔽リブ45先端は、規定の洗浄水位47よりも上方かつ、洗浄ノズル32に複数個設けられた噴射孔48よりも下方に位置するように構成され、かつ、底部構成部材41の底面部からの洗浄水の跳ね返り水流がかからない位置に構成されている。さらに遮蔽リブ45先端は、洗浄槽29の全周にわたり底部構成部材41の側壁部49よりも外側に位置しないように構成される。   Further, the tip of the shielding rib 45 is configured to be positioned above the prescribed cleaning water level 47 and below the injection holes 48 provided in the plurality of cleaning nozzles 32, and the bottom surface portion of the bottom component member 41. It is configured in a position where splashing water from the washing water does not splash. Further, the tip of the shielding rib 45 is configured not to be positioned outside the side wall portion 49 of the bottom component member 41 over the entire circumference of the cleaning tank 29.

一般に食器洗い機では専用洗剤を水に溶解させて食器類28の洗浄を行うが、洗剤に含まれる界面活性剤などの成分により洗浄槽29表面のぬれ性が格段に上がる。ぬれ性が上がると毛細管現象が非常に強く発生するため、回収空間46(主空間46b)の幅は通常の水を対象とする場合と比べ広く構成している。回収空間46は全周にわたり連通した形状つまり、図4に示す断面形状を、食器かご支持部53を除いた洗浄槽29の全周にわたり略同一の形状で構成している。   In general, in a dishwasher, a dishwasher is dissolved in water to wash the dishes 28, but the wettability of the surface of the washing tub 29 is significantly increased by components such as a surfactant contained in the detergent. When the wettability is increased, the capillary phenomenon is very strongly generated. Therefore, the width of the recovery space 46 (main space 46b) is made wider than that in the case where normal water is used. The recovery space 46 has a shape that is communicated over the entire circumference, that is, the cross-sectional shape shown in FIG. 4 is configured in a substantially identical shape over the entire circumference of the cleaning tank 29 excluding the tableware basket support portion 53.

図3に示すように、洗浄槽29内の底部の左右側壁近傍には食器かご31を載置して支持する食器かご支持部53が左右各数箇所設けられている。この食器かご支持部53は、底部構成部材41に設けた支持部下部53aと、洗浄槽部材40に設けた支持部上部53bとに分割して構成されている。そして、後述するように、洗浄槽部材40と底部構成部材41とが接合されることにより、図5に示すように、支持部上部53bが支持部下部53aの上方に対向させられて食器かご支持部53が形成されるよう構成してある。また、その分割面である支持部上部53bの下面53cの高さ位置は洗浄槽部材40の遮蔽リブ45の下端と略同一高さとしてある。   As shown in FIG. 3, in the vicinity of the left and right side walls of the bottom in the washing tank 29, there are provided a plurality of left and right tableware basket support portions 53 for placing and supporting the tableware basket 31. The tableware basket support portion 53 is divided into a support portion lower portion 53 a provided on the bottom component member 41 and a support portion upper portion 53 b provided on the cleaning tank member 40. Then, as will be described later, the cleaning tank member 40 and the bottom component member 41 are joined to each other, so that the support upper part 53b is opposed to the upper part of the support lower part 53a as shown in FIG. A portion 53 is formed. Further, the height position of the lower surface 53c of the support portion upper portion 53b, which is the divided surface, is substantially the same height as the lower end of the shielding rib 45 of the cleaning tank member 40.

また、底部構成部材41の両側面には洗浄槽29の重量を支えるレール受け部50を側壁部49より外側で溝部43のほぼ直下に構成している。レール受け部50の外端部にはリブ50aをレール30の可動レール部を上方および外方から覆うように下方に向けて延設し、レール受け部50の機械的強度を増強するとともに、蓋体37から洗浄槽部材40の外壁に滴下した洗浄水がレール30内に浸入することを防止する構成としている。   Further, rail receiving portions 50 that support the weight of the cleaning tank 29 are formed on both side surfaces of the bottom component member 41 outside the side wall portion 49 and almost directly below the groove portion 43. At the outer end of the rail receiving portion 50, ribs 50a are extended downward so as to cover the movable rail portion of the rail 30 from above and from the outside, thereby enhancing the mechanical strength of the rail receiving portion 50 and the lid. The cleaning water dropped from the body 37 onto the outer wall of the cleaning tank member 40 is prevented from entering the rail 30.

洗浄槽部材40の前後左右の外周部下端に設けられたシールリブ44の外方には係合部52をリブ状に下方に向けて延設してある。底部構成部材41の溝部43の外周には数箇所の凸部51が設けられ、洗浄槽部材40の係合部52には凸部51に対応した位置に係合孔52aが構成され、洗浄槽部材40を底部構成部材41の上方から挿着することで、係合部52が弾性変形して凸部51が係合孔52aに係合し、洗浄槽部材40と底部構成部材41とが接合される構成としている。そして、接合された状態で、左右両側面部の係合部52の下端はレール受け部50の上面に当接するよう構成してある。洗浄槽部材40と底部構成部材41との接合部を上記のような構成とすることにより、簡単な構成で両者を接合できるとともに、蓋体37から洗浄槽部材40の外壁に滴下した洗浄水が第2のシール部材42の部分に浸入することを防止できる。   An engaging portion 52 extends downward in a rib shape on the outer side of the seal rib 44 provided at the lower ends of the front, rear, left and right outer peripheral portions of the cleaning tank member 40. Several convex portions 51 are provided on the outer periphery of the groove portion 43 of the bottom component member 41, and an engaging hole 52 a is formed at a position corresponding to the convex portion 51 in the engaging portion 52 of the cleaning tank member 40. By inserting the member 40 from above the bottom component member 41, the engaging portion 52 is elastically deformed, the convex portion 51 is engaged with the engagement hole 52a, and the cleaning tank member 40 and the bottom component member 41 are joined. It is assumed to be configured. In the joined state, the lower ends of the engaging portions 52 on both the left and right side surface portions are configured to abut on the upper surface of the rail receiving portion 50. By configuring the joint between the cleaning tank member 40 and the bottom component member 41 as described above, both can be joined with a simple configuration, and the cleaning water dropped from the lid 37 onto the outer wall of the cleaning tank member 40 Intrusion into the second seal member 42 can be prevented.

また、図4に示すように、レール30の固定レール部の断面形状を、可動機構部30aの外側に隆起部30bを設け、さらにその外側を一段低い溝部30cとする形状としている。そして、底部構成部材41のレール受け部50の外端部に設けたリブ50aの下端外側を、隆起部30bの直上もしくは外側に位置させ、蓋体37から洗浄槽部材40の外壁を経由してリブ50aの下端外側に滴下してきた洗浄水を溝部30cに導きレール30の可動機構部30aに浸入することを防止する構成としている。さらに、図示はしていないが、可動機構部30aと溝部30cのいずれかの後方部に貫通孔を設け、滴下し導かれた洗浄水を筐体27の内底部に落下させ、その近傍に配設した漏水検知センサによって検知するようにしてある。   As shown in FIG. 4, the cross-sectional shape of the fixed rail portion of the rail 30 is formed such that a raised portion 30b is provided on the outer side of the movable mechanism portion 30a, and the outer side thereof is a groove 30c that is one step lower. And the lower end outer side of the rib 50a provided in the outer end part of the rail receiving part 50 of the bottom part constituting member 41 is positioned directly above or outside the raised part 30b, and passes through the outer wall of the cleaning tank member 40 from the lid body 37. The cleaning water dripped to the outside of the lower end of the rib 50a is guided to the groove 30c and prevented from entering the movable mechanism 30a of the rail 30. Further, although not shown, a through-hole is provided in the rear part of either the movable mechanism part 30a or the groove part 30c, and the wash water introduced and dropped is dropped on the inner bottom part of the casing 27 and disposed in the vicinity thereof. It is made to detect with the installed water leak detection sensor.

以上のように構成された食器洗い機について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。洗浄槽29は、洗浄槽部材40を第2のシール部材42をセットした底部構成部材41の上方より挿着することで、係合部52がそれ自身の弾性にて一時的に変形し、係合孔52aが洗浄槽部材40に設けた凸部51に係合し、上下方向の規制がされ、洗浄槽部材40と底部構成部材41とを結合して一体化する。その際に、洗浄槽部材40のシールリブ44が第2のシール部材42を上方から押圧して規定の締め位置まで変形させ、接合部を水封している。洗浄槽29を一体化することで、洗浄槽部材40に設けた遮蔽リブ45と底部構成部材41の溝部43とで回収空間46が構成される。なお、ここでは第2のシール部材42を弾性体として構成しているが、シリコン接着剤のようなもので水封することも可能である。   About the dishwasher comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below. In the cleaning tank 29, the engaging tank 52 is temporarily deformed by its own elasticity by inserting the cleaning tank member 40 from above the bottom component member 41 on which the second seal member 42 is set. The joint hole 52a engages with the convex part 51 provided in the cleaning tank member 40, and the vertical direction is regulated, and the cleaning tank member 40 and the bottom component member 41 are combined and integrated. At that time, the seal rib 44 of the cleaning tank member 40 presses the second seal member 42 from above to deform it to a specified tightening position, and seals the joint. By integrating the cleaning tank 29, the recovery space 46 is configured by the shielding rib 45 provided in the cleaning tank member 40 and the groove 43 of the bottom component member 41. Here, the second seal member 42 is configured as an elastic body, but can be water-sealed with a silicon adhesive or the like.

溝部43の内方側に設けられた遮蔽リブ45は回収空間46の入り口46aの寸法が上方の回収空間46の主空間46bより小さくなるように配置されているため、回収空間46への水の浸入を減らすことができる。また、遮蔽リブ45の下端は規定の洗浄水位47
よりも上方に位置しているため、食器類28から洗い流された異物や油などが回収空間46に堆積することがなく、洗浄水の回収を妨げることがない。また、異臭などの発生を抑制することができる。
Since the shielding rib 45 provided on the inner side of the groove 43 is arranged so that the size of the entrance 46a of the recovery space 46 is smaller than the main space 46b of the upper recovery space 46, the water to the recovery space 46 Infiltration can be reduced. Further, the lower end of the shielding rib 45 has a prescribed cleaning water level 47.
Therefore, foreign matter or oil washed away from the tableware 28 does not accumulate in the recovery space 46, and does not hinder recovery of the cleaning water. Moreover, generation | occurrence | production of a strange odor etc. can be suppressed.

さらに、遮蔽リブ45の下端は洗浄ノズル32の噴射孔48よりも下方に位置する構成とすることにより、噴射孔48より噴射される洗浄水は遮蔽リブ45により確実にさえぎられるため、回収空間46の入り口46aには洗浄槽29の上方から落下してくる勢いの少ない洗浄水のみが接触することとなり、圧力をもった水流が溝部43へ到達することがなくなる。   Furthermore, since the lower end of the shielding rib 45 is positioned below the ejection hole 48 of the cleaning nozzle 32, the cleaning water ejected from the ejection hole 48 is reliably blocked by the shielding rib 45. Only the cleaning water having a low momentum falling from above the cleaning tank 29 comes into contact with the inlet 46a of the cleaning tank 29, so that the water flow having pressure does not reach the groove 43.

噴射孔48より噴射された洗浄水は食器類28に当たりそのまま落下するか、洗浄槽部材40の側面に沿って流れ落ち、遮蔽リブ45下端へ流れてくる。このとき、遮蔽リブ45先端は洗浄槽29の全周にわたり底部構成部材41の側壁部49よりも外側に位置しないように構成されていることにより、上方から遮蔽リブ45に沿って流れ落ちる洗浄水は、回収空間46に浸入することなく、底部構成部材41の底面へ回収される。   The cleaning water sprayed from the spray hole 48 hits the tableware 28 and falls as it is, or flows down along the side surface of the cleaning tank member 40 and flows to the lower end of the shielding rib 45. At this time, the tip of the shielding rib 45 is configured not to be positioned outside the side wall portion 49 of the bottom component member 41 over the entire circumference of the cleaning tank 29, so that the cleaning water flowing down along the shielding rib 45 from above is Then, it is recovered to the bottom surface of the bottom component member 41 without entering the recovery space 46.

また、遮蔽リブ45の下端は所定の洗浄水位47よりも上方に構成することにより、食器類28から洗い流された異物や油などが回収空間46に堆積することがなく、洗浄水の回収を妨げることがない。また、異臭などの発生を抑制することができる。   Further, the lower end of the shielding rib 45 is configured above the predetermined washing water level 47, so that foreign matter or oil washed away from the tableware 28 does not accumulate in the collection space 46, thereby preventing the washing water from being collected. There is nothing. Moreover, generation | occurrence | production of a strange odor etc. can be suppressed.

また、洗浄槽29の両側面の遮蔽リブ45は洗浄槽部材40の内壁40aと段差なく設けられているため、不要な段差がなく、洗浄水の回収速度を落とすことがなく、またデザイン性も向上される。   Further, since the shielding ribs 45 on both side surfaces of the cleaning tank 29 are provided without any step from the inner wall 40a of the cleaning tank member 40, there is no unnecessary step, the cleaning water recovery speed is not reduced, and the design is also good. Be improved.

また、底部構成部材41と洗浄槽部材40の接合と同時に、その接合部を水封するシール部54および回収空間46が形成されるので、接合作業およびシール部54および回収空間46の形成が簡易になり組立作業性を向上させることができる。   In addition, since the sealing portion 54 and the recovery space 46 for sealing the joint portion are formed simultaneously with the joining of the bottom component member 41 and the cleaning tank member 40, the joining operation and the formation of the sealing portion 54 and the recovery space 46 are easy. Thus, the assembly workability can be improved.

このような構成とした場合でも、回収空間46(主空間46b)の隙間をせまく構成してしまうと、回収空間46の入り口46aに触れた洗浄水が毛細管現象により吸い上げられ、溝部43へ到達してしまう。本発明によると遮蔽リブ45と溝部43の間の回収空間46を洗浄水が毛細管現象で吸い上げられない程度の隙間を設けているため、回収空間46の入り口46aに洗浄水が接触しても、溝部43へ洗浄水が吸い上げられることはない。   Even in such a configuration, if the clearance of the recovery space 46 (main space 46b) is formed, the cleaning water that has touched the inlet 46a of the recovery space 46 is sucked up by capillary action and reaches the groove 43. End up. According to the present invention, since the recovery space 46 between the shielding rib 45 and the groove 43 is provided with a gap that does not allow the cleaning water to be sucked up by capillary action, even if the cleaning water comes into contact with the inlet 46a of the recovery space 46, The washing water is not sucked up into the groove 43.

以上のように、本発明によると、洗浄ノズル32から噴射される洗浄水が溝部43に達することはなく、仮に第2のシール部材42がない構成とした場合でも、接合部より水漏れしない。ただし、洗浄水が加熱されると、蒸気が発生するため、溝部43付近へ結露し、少量の水が洗浄槽29の外へ漏れ出す場合がある。このために、本発明では第2のシール部材42を回収空間46の外側上方に配置している。また、第2のシール部材42がなくても水漏れしない構成としているため、長期間の使用による第2のシール部材42の劣化や、引き出し操作による振動や力が繰り返し溝部43にかかることによるシール性の低下がおきても、水漏れは発生しない。   As described above, according to the present invention, the cleaning water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 32 does not reach the groove portion 43, and even if the second seal member 42 is not provided, water does not leak from the joint portion. However, when the cleaning water is heated, steam is generated, so that condensation occurs near the groove 43 and a small amount of water may leak out of the cleaning tank 29. For this purpose, in the present invention, the second seal member 42 is disposed on the outer upper side of the recovery space 46. Further, since water is not leaked even without the second seal member 42, the seal is caused by the deterioration of the second seal member 42 due to long-term use, and the vibration and force due to the pulling operation repeatedly applied to the groove 43. Even if the performance drops, water leakage does not occur.

また、回収空間46は洗浄槽29全周にわたり連通した構成としているため、勢いよく洗浄槽29を引き出し操作した場合などに、規定の洗浄水位47よりも上方まで洗浄水が達し、回収空間46に洗浄水が浸入しても、連通した回収空間46により、横方向に洗浄水が逃げるスペースが存在するため、溝部43まで到達する洗浄水を大幅に減らすことが可能である。もちろん洗浄水が溝部43まで到達した場合でも第2のシール部材42により水封されているため、水漏れにいたることはない。   Further, since the recovery space 46 is configured to communicate with the entire circumference of the cleaning tank 29, when the cleaning tank 29 is pulled out and operated, the cleaning water reaches above the specified cleaning water level 47 and enters the recovery space 46. Even if the cleaning water permeates, there is a space for the cleaning water to escape in the lateral direction due to the communication recovery space 46, so that the cleaning water reaching the groove 43 can be greatly reduced. Of course, even when the cleaning water reaches the groove portion 43, the second sealing member 42 seals the water, so that no water leaks.

以上のように、本実施の形態においては底部構成部材41の上端部と洗浄槽部材40の下端部で構成される接合部を水封するためのシール部54を構成し、シール部54を水封する第2のシール部材42とを備え、洗浄槽部材40には前記シール部54の内方側に遮蔽リブ45を設け、シール部54と遮蔽リブ45の間に、洗浄水が毛細管現象にて上昇してシール部54に達することを防止する回収空間46を設けたことにより、通常の使用において洗浄水がシール部54まで到達することがなくなり、引き出し操作時や長期間の使用で第2のシール部材42のシール性が低下した場合でも、水漏れしないようにすることができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the seal portion 54 for water-sealing the joint portion constituted by the upper end portion of the bottom portion constituting member 41 and the lower end portion of the cleaning tank member 40 is configured, and the seal portion 54 is A second sealing member 42 for sealing, and the cleaning tank member 40 is provided with a shielding rib 45 on the inner side of the sealing portion 54. Between the sealing portion 54 and the shielding rib 45, the cleaning water becomes a capillary phenomenon. By providing the recovery space 46 that prevents the water from rising and reaching the seal portion 54, the cleaning water does not reach the seal portion 54 in normal use, and the second time during the drawer operation or long-term use. Even when the sealing performance of the sealing member 42 is deteriorated, water leakage can be prevented.

また、従来の食器洗い機の洗浄槽のように、食器かご支持部53を底部構成部材41から一体形成して上方に立ち上げるように構成すると、図5に当てはめれば容易に類推できるように、食器かご支持部53と遮蔽リブ45との間に上方に開口した隙間が生じることになり、噴射された洗浄水がこの隙間から入り口46aを通って回収空間46に浸入しやすくなるが、本実施の形態では、食器かご支持部53は、底部構成部材41に設けた支持部下部53aと、支持部下部53aの上方に対向させて洗浄槽部材40に設けた支持部上部53bとに分割して構成するとともに、その分割面の高さ位置を洗浄槽部材40の遮蔽リブ45の下端と略同一高さとしたことにより、底部構成部材41に設けた支持部下部53aと洗浄槽部材40に設けた支持部上部53bとの間の隙間が略水平方向に形成されるので、この隙間に噴射された洗浄水が浸入しづらく、また浸入した洗浄水が洗浄槽29側に滴下して戻ることが期待でき、洗浄水が食器かご支持部53から回収空間46に流入することを防ぐことができる。   Further, like a conventional dishwasher washing tank, if the tableware basket support portion 53 is integrally formed from the bottom component member 41 and rises upward, it can be easily analogized if applied to FIG. A gap opened upward is formed between the tableware basket support part 53 and the shielding rib 45, and the sprayed cleaning water easily enters the recovery space 46 from the gap through the inlet 46a. In this embodiment, the tableware basket support portion 53 is divided into a support portion lower portion 53a provided on the bottom component member 41 and a support portion upper portion 53b provided on the cleaning tank member 40 so as to face the upper portion of the support portion lower portion 53a. In addition, the height position of the dividing surface is set to be substantially the same as the lower end of the shielding rib 45 of the cleaning tank member 40, so that the support lower part 53 a provided in the bottom component member 41 and the cleaning tank member 40 are provided. Since the gap between the holding portion upper portion 53b is formed in a substantially horizontal direction, it is difficult for the cleaning water sprayed into the gap to enter, and it is expected that the entering cleaning water will drop and return to the cleaning tank 29 side. The washing water can be prevented from flowing into the collection space 46 from the tableware basket support part 53.

また、本実施の形態では、上下接合構成とした洗浄槽29の下側部材である底部構成部材41の両側面に洗浄槽29の重量を支えるレール受け部50を構成していることにより、洗浄槽29およびその他の部品の重量がシール部54を引き離す方向にかかることがなく、長期的に第2のシール部材42のシール性を維持することができる。   Further, in the present embodiment, the rail receiving portions 50 that support the weight of the cleaning tank 29 are configured on both side surfaces of the bottom component member 41 that is the lower member of the cleaning tank 29 that is configured as a vertically bonded structure, thereby cleaning. The weight of the tank 29 and other parts is not applied in the direction in which the seal portion 54 is pulled away, and the sealing performance of the second seal member 42 can be maintained for a long time.

また、本実施の形態では、底部構成部材41を電装部品および機構部品の大半を搭載してユニット化したことにより、洗浄槽部材40のシール部54より上方の部分を大型、小型化することで、底部構成部材41を単一のものを使用しても、容量の異なる洗浄槽を得ることができるため、洗浄槽容量の異なる食器洗い機の生産に容易に対応することができ、製造効率を向上させることができる。   Further, in the present embodiment, the bottom component member 41 is unitized by mounting most of the electrical components and mechanical components, thereby making the portion above the seal portion 54 of the cleaning tank member 40 larger and smaller. Even if a single bottom component 41 is used, it is possible to obtain washing tanks with different capacities, so that it is possible to easily cope with the production of dishwashers with different washing tank capacities, and to improve manufacturing efficiency. Can be made.

なお、本実施の形態では、洗浄槽29の内底部に回転自在な洗浄ノズル32のみを備えたものとして説明したが、例えば洗浄槽29の内側部にさらに別の洗浄ノズルを備えたものであっても、本発明による効果を得ることができ、本発明から除外されるものではない。   In the present embodiment, it has been described that only the rotatable cleaning nozzle 32 is provided at the inner bottom of the cleaning tank 29. However, for example, another cleaning nozzle is provided inside the cleaning tank 29. However, the effect by this invention can be acquired and it is not excluded from this invention.

以上のように、本発明にかかる食器洗い機は、ビルトインタイプの食器洗い機において、引き出し操作時や長期間の使用によりシール部材のシール性が低下した場合でも、洗浄槽の接合部から水漏れしないようにすることが可能となるので、洗浄水の噴射により食器類の洗浄を行う食器洗い機等として有用である。   As described above, the dishwasher according to the present invention is a built-in type dishwasher so that water does not leak from the junction of the washing tub even when the sealing performance of the sealing member is deteriorated due to a drawer operation or long-term use. Therefore, it is useful as a dishwasher or the like for washing dishes by jetting washing water.
