Description

  The present invention relates to a heating cooker that copes with the condensation of water vapor generated when food is cooked and dripping from a joint portion such as a door to the outside.

  In general, water vapor is generated when food is cooked based on heating means such as an electric heater or magnetron (high frequency), and this condenses and drops from the front opening of the heating chamber to the outside of the main body through the gap between the door and the door. There is sorrow to do. In addition, in recent years, heating cookers equipped with so-called steam supply means that can heat cooking by heating water and supplying steam into the heating chamber are becoming widespread. There is a strong tendency for water droplets to leak out of the body.

Therefore, as a countermeasure against dripping of water droplets to the outside, a water drop receiving portion is detachably installed below the door, and in a configuration having a steam supply means, the removable water tank penetrates the water drop receiving portion. The structure which arranges and arrange | position is proposed (for example, refer patent document 1).
Japanese Patent No. 3966331

  However, of course, in the above configuration, the water droplet receiving portion must be installed corresponding to the portion where the water droplet is dropped, and there is a concern about an increase in size (long shape on the left and right), and the water droplet receiving portion in order to reliably receive the water droplet There are many restrictions on design and manufacturing, such as the need to increase the opening shape of the. In practice, some of the leaked water droplets may move rearward along the outer wall surface of the bottom of the main body, and this is unsuitable for practical use because it cannot be handled even if the opening shape is simply increased. And according to the said structure (patent document 1) of the water tank which comprises a vapor | steam supply means, in the location where the water tank of the water droplet receiving part penetrated, it describes that the water sump space (it comprises a shallow bottom face) will become small. . For this reason, water droplets stored on this shallow bottom surface due to the action of surface tension, etc., are easily spilled when removing the water droplet receiver, and the overall configuration requires a large opening shape as described above. There are practical problems such as the spilling of the stored water.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention reliably receives water droplets leaking out of the main body and can store a sufficient amount of water, and is heated with water droplet countermeasure means such as the stored water is difficult to spill. The purpose is to provide a cooker.

And has a lower portion that is pivotable in the front-rear direction. Specifically, the door 4 is configured to come into contact with and separate from the front frame portion 5 around the opening 3 on the back side. In addition, leg portions 10 having a cylindrical shape for installation are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the main body 1.

  In addition, as a food heating means, although not shown, it is equipped with a steam supply means 6 that enables high-frequency heating by a well-known magnetron, heater heating by an electric heater, and the like, and enables steam heating in this embodiment. . The steam supply means 6 will be described below. As shown in FIG. 2, this steam supply means 6 is provided with a steam generating section 7 on the side wall of the heating chamber 2, and water is heated and vaporized by a heater (not shown). It is possible to supply so that steam is blown out. Therefore, a tube 8 is connected to supply water to the steam generator 7, and the other end is connected to a cassette type water tank 9 described later via a pump (not shown).

  And the water droplet countermeasure means of a present Example is given to the lower front part of the main body 1. FIG. Specifically, as clearly shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, in correspondence with the lower part of the joint between the front frame 5 around the opening 3 that is the front surface of the heating chamber 2 and the back side of the door 4. A first water receiving portion 11 is provided, and a second water receiving portion 12 is provided below the first water receiving portion 11. The first water receiving portion 11 has a guide function for guiding the water droplets leaking through the gap between the joint portions of the door 4 and the front frame portion 5 and then dropping toward the second water receiving portion 12. The second water receiving portion 12 has a bottomed container shape for storing water droplets.

  However, the first water receiving portion 11 shown in the present embodiment is long in the left-right direction and has a cross-sectional shape in the front-rear direction forming a concave shape (shown as a concave portion 13 in the figure), and both left and right end portions are opened in a concave shape. doing. Further, the length dimension extending in the left-right direction is equal to or greater than the width dimension of the opening 3 shown in FIG. 3, and the width dimension (front-rear direction) of the recess 13 is from between the door 4 and the front frame part 5. The width is suitable for receiving dripping water drops. The first water receiving portion 11 is fixed to the outer bottom portion of the main body 1 by using, for example, an appropriate fixing means such as welding or screwing depending on the material. Yes.

  The second water receiving portion 12 disposed below the first water receiving portion 11 having the above-described configuration has a rectangular bottomed container shape made of resin and having an open upper surface. A first water receiver 11 is disposed. Accordingly, the second water receiving portion 12 has a left and right length dimension larger than that of the first water receiving portion 11, and is suitable for receiving and storing water drops dripping from at least the left and right end portions of the first water receiving portion 11. It has a shape.

  The first water receiving portion 11 is fixedly provided on the main body 1, whereas the second water receiving portion 12 is detachably attached to the main body 1 at least in the front-rear direction. Elastic pieces 14 and 14 that are elastically engaged between the front left and right leg portions 10 and 10 are integrally provided at two locations (only one location is shown). In this case, the bottom surface of the second water receiver 12 is supported by the installation surface. The upper rear portion of the second water receiving portion 12 is partially cut away so that the second water receiving portion 12 can be attached and detached without hindering the first water receiving portion 11 disposed above.

  On the other hand, FIGS. 2 and 3 show the water tank 9 that constitutes the steam supply means 6 described above. However, as shown in FIG. In addition, it is configured to be able to communicate with a pump (not shown) located inward, so that water in the water tank 9 can be supplied to the pump. In addition, a small space is formed to store water in the second water receiving portion 12 only in a portion corresponding to the penetrating portion, but a deep storage space on the bottom is left and right except for the portion. It is formed.

Next, the operation of the cooking device configured as described above will be described.
The food contained in the heating chamber 2 is condensed by moisture or the like evaporated when performing cooking by high-frequency heating or heater heating, and passes through the gap between the opening 3 and the joint between the door 4 and the front frame 5. It leaks out and becomes water droplets and drops outside the main body 1. In particular, in steam cooking in which steam is supplied to the heating chamber 2 using the steam supply means 6, a larger amount of water drops. However, the first water receiving portion 11 having the concave portion 13 is fixedly provided immediately below the concave portion 13, and the concave portion 13 has a length equal to or greater than the left and right opening width of the opening portion 3. Always catch the water droplets to make sure.

  Specifically, the water droplets once received by the first water receiver 11 are dropped from the left and right open ends of the concave shape. In this case, for example, it is possible to promote the flow of water droplets to the left and right end portions by making the bottom surface of the recess 13 downwardly inclined from the center in the left-right direction, but this can be performed if necessary. Good. As described above, the concave shape of the first water receiving portion 11 guides the flow of the water droplet to guide it to the left and right end portions, and causes the first water receiving portion 11 to drop drastically from the open end portion.

  And the water drop dripped from the 1st water receiving part 11 is received by the 2nd water receiving part 12 which opened the upper surface, and deep water of the right and left bottoms except the site | part which the water tank 9 penetrates in a present Example. It is dropped directly into the reservoir space and stored. The second water receiving portion 12 is detachable, but is elastically engaged via elastic pieces 14 between the left and right leg portions 10 and 10 on the bottom of the main body 1, and the lower surface thereof is installed, for example, It is received by the surface and always kept in a predetermined position. Therefore, the drainage treatment of the water stored in the second water receiving portion 12 can be dealt with by pulling out the water receiving portion 12 forward and releasing the elastic engagement with the leg portion 10. By being pushed in from the front, it can be easily elastically engaged and attached to the main body 1.

According to the said Example, there exist the following effects.
Since the first water receiving portion 11 is fixedly provided on the main body 1 and the second water receiving portion 12 is detachably provided below the first water receiving portion 11, the first water receiving portion 11 is provided with the second water receiving portion. There is no influence on the attaching / detaching operation of the portion 12, and therefore, regardless of the shape of the first water receiving portion 11, there is no possibility that the water droplets accumulated on the shallow water shape will spill out, for example. And the 2nd water receiving part 12 which receives the water drop dripped from the 1st water receiving part 11 has large design freedom, and can secure a desired water storage amount, and obtains and has sufficient water storage space part, and can be attached or detached. Practical effects such as making it difficult for water to spill during operation can be expected.

The above-mentioned Reference Example hand, FIGS. 4 through 12 show a first to fourth embodiments of the present invention, in the above Reference Example, the same parts will not be described with the same reference numerals, different I will explain each part.

(First Embodiment)
4 and 5 show a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a view equivalent to FIG. 1 of a portion having a water tank 9 and the like, and FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which a main part is disassembled. is there. Specifically, the water tank 9 of the steam supply means 6 described in the above embodiment is provided with a holding case 15 that detachably accommodates and holds the water tank 9, and related to this. This is to improve the measures against water droplets.

  That is, the water tank 9 has a cassette-type configuration that can be attached to and detached from the middle of the second water receiving portion 16 in the same manner as in the above embodiment, and has a handle portion 9a at the front end. The resin-made second water receiving portion 16 has, as is apparent from FIG. 5, a wide water reservoir space portion extending rearward at the left and right side portions of the penetrating portion 17 through which the water tank 9 can be inserted. The small space part by the penetration part 17 in a center site | part is formed, and predetermined water quantity is ensured. And each elastic piece 18 protrudes from the left and right rear parts and elastically engages with each front leg 10, so that the second water receiving part 16 is detachably attached to the main body 1. Is done.

However, most of the water tank 9 penetrating the second water receiving portion 16 is accommodated and held in the holding case 15 fixed to the main body 1. That is, the holding case 15 is formed in a rectangular box shape made of resin that allows the water tank 9 to enter and exit from the front, and is fixed to the bottom surface of the bottom of the main body 1 by screwing means (not shown). In this holding case 15, a pump 19 connected in such a manner that water can be passed in a state where the water tank 9 is accommodated is also installed in this holding case 15. The steam generation unit 7 in the reference embodiment is connected in communication.

The first water receiver 20 is provided above the water tank 9 and the second water receiver 16. The shape of the first water receiving portion 20 is basically the same cross section as that of the reference embodiment, and a concave shape is formed. Water droplets are dropped from the open end portions of the left and right ends to the second water receiving portion 16. Although the configuration is common, the first water receiving portion 20 is different in that it is formed integrally with the holding case 15. Thus, since the holding case 15 is directly fixed to the bottom portion of the main body 1 and has an integral structure, it can be said that the first water receiving portion 20 is also substantially fixed to the main body 1.

Thus, the effects of the present embodiment will be described. With respect to measures against water droplets by the first and second water receiving portions 20 and 16, the same effects as those of the reference embodiment can be expected.
That is, the first water receiving part 20 is also fixed to the main body 1 side via the holding case 15, and the second water receiving part 16 and the water tank 9 are detachably provided below the first case. Regardless of its shape, no water spills from the water receiving portion 20 when the second water receiving portion 16 is attached or detached. Further, even in the shape having the penetrating portion 17 on the center side, the second water receiving portion 16 can form a sufficient water reservoir space portion on both the left and right sides, so that a predetermined water storage amount can be secured. It is not necessary to store water in the small space portion of the shallow bottom portion having the penetrating portion 17, and the water droplets are dripped on both side portions of the second water receiving portion 16 while being guided by the concave shape of the first water receiving portion 20. In combination with the fact that it does not drop on the penetrating part, water does not spill from the second water receiving portion 16 during the attachment / detachment operation, and the attachment / detachment operation can be facilitated.

  However, this embodiment is characterized in that the first water receiving portion 20 is integrally formed by using the holding case 15 that accommodates and holds the water tank 9 and the pump 19. This holding case 15 is fixed to the bottom lower surface side of the main body 1 by screwing means (not shown) or the like. Therefore, the first water receiving portion 20 can be provided at a predetermined position without requiring a means for independently fixing the first water receiving portion 20, and can be efficiently incorporated. The holding case 15 may be configured to accommodate and hold at least the detachable water tank 9, but it is advantageous in that the assembling workability is improved by arranging the pump 19 in close proximity using the holding case 15. is there.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 6 is a diagram substantially equivalent to FIG. 1 showing a second embodiment of the present invention, showing a configuration with a partial cross section added thereto, and FIG. 7 is a similar diagram equivalent to FIG. is there. This is a countermeasure against water droplets that can cope with different dropping states of water droplets leaking out of the main body 1.

First, the configuration shown in FIG. 6 will be described. The bottom plate 2a, which is the bottom of the heating chamber 2 of the main body 1, is integrated with the front frame portion 5 and welding means in front of the bottom plate 1a, which is the bottom of the main body 1, and thus the following. A main body 1 having a heating chamber 2 having an opening 3 on the front surface is formed. Then, the lower surface of the bottom plate 1a is the outer bottom of the body 1 is fixed a first water receiving unit 21, up to this point is substantially the same basic configuration as that of Reference Example (see Fig. 1).

  However, the first water-receiving portion 21 has a concave-convex cross section in the front-rear direction (shown as a concave portion 22 in the figure). The enlarged shape is a so-called wide shape. Thus, in this embodiment, the flange portion 21a formed at the rear portion of the first water receiving portion 21 is fixed in contact with the bottom plate 1a of the main body 1, but the concave portion 22 is widened at the contact portion. Thus, the position can be set backward from the opening 3. In other words, because of the wide configuration, even if the first water receiving portion 21 is arranged rearward, the concave portion 22 is provided at a position sufficient to receive water drops dripping from the joint portion with the door 4 or the front frame portion 5. The 1st water receiving part 21 which can arrange | position can be provided.

  And, in the bottom plate 1a in front of the contact portion between the rear portion of the first water receiving portion 21 (corresponding to the flange portion 21a in this embodiment) and the bottom plate 1a, in other words, the open range of the upper surface of the recess 22 On the bottom plate 1 a located inside, a single protruding portion 23 that hangs downward is formed parallel to the left-right direction of the first water receiving portion 21.

  Thus, since the first water receiving portion 21 having the wide concave portion 22 is configured to drop water droplets from the left and right open end portions as before, the second water receiving portion disposed below the first water receiving portion 21 is configured. The part 24 is also configured to have an upper surface open part having a size that includes the first water receiving part 21, such as a structure in which the part 24 is wide as a whole. In addition, the second water receiving portion 24 is configured to be detachable by elastically engaging and supporting the elastic pieces 25 provided at the two left and right portions between the two leg portions 10 at the front.

  According to the above configuration, the water condensed in the heating chamber 2 leaks from the gap at the joint between the front frame portion 5 and the door 4 through the opening 3 on the front surface, and for normal water droplets dripping downward as it is. In the same manner as in the above embodiment, the water is received by the first water receiving portion 21, guided by the shape of the recess 22, and dropped and stored in the second water receiving portion 24 from both ends.

  However, in actual use, a dripping state of water different from the above may occur. For example, water droplets flowing down in the direction of arrow A shown in the figure do not immediately drop downward, but wrap around the lower surface side of the bottom plate 1a as indicated by arrow B. This is likely to occur when the water droplet has viscosity or surface tension, or when the water droplet before the dropping is gradually formed larger. However, since the water droplets that have traveled to the outer bottom surface of the main body 1 are in contact with the bottom plate 1a at the flange portion 21a, which is the rear portion of the first water receiving portion 21, in this embodiment, the further water droplets do not proceed. Be blocked.

  However, the flange portion 21a is in contact via an appropriate fixing means such as welding or screwing. If there is a slight gap or the like in the contact portion, water droplets ooze out from the gap and form on the outer bottom surface. It spreads along, adheres to other components, or becomes a water droplet again and causes a problem of dropping directly on the installation surface. Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the protruding portion 23 extending in the left-right direction is formed on the front side from the above-described contact portion, water droplets that have turned around to the bottom side indicated by the arrow B are prevented from advancing at the protruding portion 23. At the same time, it is combined with other water droplets and becomes larger, and then dropped into the recess 22 of the lower first water receiving portion 21. In this way, the protruding portion 23 functions as a so-called draining portion that reliably prevents further progression of water droplets that have traveled to the bottom surface and eventually drops downward, so that the installation surface is soiled with water droplets. It can be surely prevented.

  In addition, although the 1st water receiving part 21 was set as the structure which provides and fixes the flange part 21a with respect to the main body 1, the structure which contact | abuts the recessed part back part of this water receiving part 21, and is fixed by a welding means etc. It is good.

<Modification>
In the modified example shown in FIG. 7, instead of the protruding portion 23 of the bottom plate 1 a functioning as the draining portion, a front frame portion 26 that forms the front surface of the main body 1 is used to extend the end portion that extends downward. The configuration is the portion 27, and the remaining configuration is the same as in the above embodiment.
That is, the extension part 27 protrudes below the bottom plate 1a of the main body 1 as shown in the drawing, and the tip part thereof faces the recess 22 of the first water receiving part 21.

  According to such a configuration, the water droplets flowing down along the front frame portion 26 reach the projecting portion 27 and cannot go around to the bottom plate 1a, which is the bottom portion of the main body 1, and become water droplets as they are from the extending portion 27. It will be dripped. Therefore, the extending portion 27 shown in this modification can be provided with a simple configuration that only extends the front frame portion 26 that forms the peripheral portion of the opening 3 and forms the front surface portion of the main body 1 downward. At the same time, it is effective in preventing the phenomenon that water droplets wrap around the bottom of the main body 1, and exhibits a further excellent effect as a draining portion.

( Third embodiment)
FIG. 8 is a side view showing in cross section the main part of the lower half of the heating cooker showing the third embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 9 and 10 are perspective views and heating of the main part showing a modification thereof. It is a perspective view which shows the external appearance of the whole cooking appliance.
In addition to coping with water droplets from the opening 3 side of the heating chamber 2, this can cope with dripping of water droplets due to the configuration of the heating chamber 2 (joint portion described later).

  First, the configuration shown in FIG. 8 will be described. The bottom plate 2a of the heating chamber 2 includes a side wall plate such as a rear wall plate 2b in which the front side is joined to the front frame portion 5 and the other peripheral side portions are illustrated. And fixed and assembled by welding means. The lower end portion of the heating chamber 2 is supported and fixed on the bottom plate 1a of the main body 1, and the bottom plate 1a is further extended rearward and is assembled so as to be closed by the rear plate 1b to form an outline of the main body 1. Yes.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the peripheral side portion of the bottom plate 2a of the heating chamber 2 is configured to have the joint portion C over the entire circumference of the rectangular shape with the mating member. On the other hand, the bottom plate 1a of the main body 1 located below the joining portion C of the heating chamber 2 has a configuration in which the front is joined to the front frame portion 5, and only at the joining portion D at the front. It is in a relationship facing a part of the joint C in the vertical direction. However, there is no joint portion corresponding to the joint portion C in the other peripheral side portions, and a plurality of through holes 28 (only one is shown) are formed in the bottom plate 1a of the main body 1 corresponding to the joint portion C. .

And the 1st water receiving part 29 is provided corresponding to the structure of the said heating chamber 2 and the main body 1. FIG.
That is, the first water receiving portion 29 has a configuration corresponding to the joint portion C on the entire circumference of the bottom plate 2a of the heating chamber 2, and will be described later in detail, that is, copes with water droplets leaking from the joint portion C. The configuration is as follows. Accordingly, the first water receiving portion 29 has a rectangular frame shape as a whole, and the concave portion 30 is in a form that communicates with the entire circumference, and is screwed to the bottom plate 1a of the main body 1 in a downwardly inclined manner (see FIG. (Not shown).

Further, the front portion which is the lowest position of the first water receiving portion 29 also corresponds directly below the joint portion between the door 4 and the front frame portion 5, and both left and right end portions thereof are opened outward. In order to receive water droplets dripping from the open end portion, the second water receiving portion 31 is disposed below the front portion. Although not shown, the second water receiving portion 31 is elastically detachably attached to a leg portion fixed to the main body 1 in the same manner as in the reference embodiment, and is thus detachable from the main body 1. It is said.

  According to the said structure, the water droplets etc. which condensed in the heating chamber 2 are dripped from the opening part 3 and the door 4 side, and are received by the 1st, 2nd water receiving part 29,31, and are in the normal state stored. In addition, since the joint portion C to be joined to the mating member is formed on the entire circumference of the bottom plate 2a constituting the heating chamber 2, water droplets or the like may leak from the gap between the joint portions. Incidentally, the water droplets leaked from the joint C flow down along the lower part of the peripheral wall plate such as the front frame portion 5 and the rear wall plate 2b, which are mating members, and at the front, the joint with the bottom plate 1a of the main body 1. It flows down through D and drops to the outside, and in the other peripheral side portions, it drops to the outside through a plurality of through holes 28.

  However, any of the above-mentioned water droplets to be dropped can be received by the first water receiving portion 29 having a rectangular frame shape corresponding to the joint portion C, and the water droplets directly drop on the installation surface. There is nothing. However, since the joining portion C is not necessarily the entire circumference of the bottom plate 2a, the first water receiving portion 29 having a shape corresponding to the construction of the heating chamber 2 (joining portion) may be used.

  In the present embodiment, the first water receiving portion 29 is provided corresponding to the joint portion C corresponding to the entire circumference of the bottom plate 2a. However, since the first water receiving portion 29 is inclined downward in one direction, Since the water can be collected, the second water receiving portion 31 that receives the water droplets dripping from the first water receiving portion 29 can be provided by providing one as in the above-described embodiment. This is advantageous in that it can be handled with a simple configuration, and thus the attachment / detachment structure can be simplified.

<Modification>
The modification shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 differs from the above embodiment in the configuration of the first and second water receiving means for receiving the dropped water droplets and the holding means for the water tank, and the other main body 1 and heating chamber. The configuration of 2 is common.
First, the unit case 32 shown in FIG. 9 will be described. The unit case 32 is integrally formed so as to be used for various purposes, which will be described later, and the overall shape is the same as the outer shape of the main body 1. While being molded into a bottom container, it is fixed to the bottom of the main body 1 by screwing.

  More specifically, the unit case 32 has a first water receiving portion 34 in which a concave portion 33 is continuously formed at the upper periphery of the rectangular shape. The first water receiving portion 34 has a concave shape in cross section except for the front portion, and although not particularly shown, the bottom surface of the concave portion 33 is inclined downward toward the front portion. However, in the front portion of the recess 33, a part (center portion) of the front wall portion having a recess shape protrudes forward, thereby forming an opening 35 that allows water droplets to be dropped on both the left and right sides. ing.

  And, in the inner portion of the bottomed container shape surrounded by the first water receiving portion 34, a plurality of ribs 36 are formed so as to intersect vertically and horizontally to increase the overall mechanical strength, A storage space for the water tank 9 and the pump 19 is secured in a part of the space. In particular, the water tank 9 is a detachable cassette type and is configured to communicate with the pump 19 in the accommodated state, so that the rib 36 can be accommodated at a predetermined position. In addition, a boss portion 37 for screw insertion (not shown) is appropriately provided at a plurality of locations where the ribs 36 intersect, and the unit case 32 is screwed to the bottom portion of the main body 1, so that the first water receiving portion 34 is attached to the main body 1. The configuration is fixed.

Further, at least the outer wall side of the concave portion 33 of the first water receiving portion 34 extends downward to be a peripheral wall of the unit case 32, or the holding case 38 having the rib 36 and the boss portion 37 on the inner side. The structure is also used as a peripheral wall. That is, the holding case 38 accommodates and holds the pump 19 and the water tank 9 constituting steam supply means (not shown), and at least holds the water tank 9 in a detachable manner. Moreover, the peripheral wall of the holding case 38 formed by extending the peripheral wall of the first water receiving portion 34 downward is configured to cover the internal water tank 9, the pump 19, an installation leg (not shown), and the like. As shown in FIG. 10, the appearance design is made favorable, for example, it functions as a decorative frame that hides the lower part.

On the other hand, on the front side of the holding case 38, a second water receiving portion 39 is detachably fitted. The second water receiving portion 39 has a bottomed container shape with an open upper surface, and has an arrangement configuration in which the open ports 35 formed on both sides of the first water receiving portion 34 face the open upper surface portion. The water tank 9 is detachably penetrated into the second water receiving portion 39 so that the water tank 9 can be attached and detached even when the second water receiving portion 39 is mounted.

  Even in such a modification, the first embodiment can be reliably received by the first water receiving portion 34 having a rectangular frame shape with respect to water droplets from the joint portion C of the heating chamber 2 disclosed in FIG. The same effect can be expected. In addition, the holding case 38 that accommodates and holds the water tank 9 can be formed integrally with the first water receiving portion 34, and the second water receiving portion 39 is attached to and detached from the front in a position facing the outside. It can be held by fitting it as possible.

  In addition, the exterior design of the outer peripheral wall of the first water receiving portion 34 extends downward as the peripheral wall of the holding case 38 and the decorative frame that also serves as the lower peripheral wall of the main body 1 with respect to the three surroundings except the front. Can be good. In this case, the second water receiving portion 39 at a position facing the outside in the front can improve the appearance like a decorative frame.

FIG.

Incidentally, the first water receiving portion 50 has a concave portion 51 that extends to the left and right ends and is open, and the bottom surface of the concave portion 51 has a shape that slopes downward from the center toward the left and right side portions.
Even in such a configuration, it is possible to expect substantially the same effect as the above-described embodiment of FIG. 5A, such that water is not easily spilled from the second water receiving portion 47 and handling is easy.

( Fifth embodiment)
FIG. 12 is a view corresponding to FIG. 11 showing the fifth embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 12A and 12B show different embodiments. This is one in which water does not easily spill from the second water receiving portion at the time of attachment / detachment without providing a lid as described in the fourth embodiment.

  First, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 11 (a), the second water receiving portion 52 is located below the first water receiving portion 44, particularly in comparison with the similar structure of FIG. 11 (a). It has the similar structure which has the water receiving part 52a, 52b arrange | positioned and divided | segmented into both sides by the penetration part 41 of the water tank provided in the center part. However, the second water receiving portion 52 of this embodiment is different in that flange portions 53a and 53b are integrally formed on the inner periphery of the open top surface of each water receiving portion 52a and 52b.

  According to such a configuration, even if the second water receiving portion 52 is handled in an inclined state by the flange portions 53a and 53b provided in the upper surface opening portions of the water receiving portions 52a and 52b on the left and right side portions, it is inadvertent. It is possible to prevent spilling of water on the floor surface by suppressing the jumping out of the water, simplify the handling of the detachable second water receiving portion 52, and suppress the increase in the number of parts. is there. In addition, the water drop dripped from the 1st water receiving part 44 can be easily received in the open part of the center side which is not covered with each flange part 53a, 53b.

  On the other hand, when the embodiment shown in FIG. 11B is compared with the structure of FIG. 11B which is particularly similar to the above, the second water receiving portion 54 of this embodiment has a water tank inside. However, it is different in that a flange portion 55 projecting inward is integrally provided around the inner periphery of the upper surface opening portion.

  Even in such a configuration, even if the second water receiving portion 54 is slightly inclined, the flange portion 55 can prevent the water from jumping out and the floor surface and the like are not soiled. it can. Further, in this configuration, since a large open portion remains inside the flange portion 55, it is possible to reliably receive water droplets dripping from the first water receiving portion 50.
