(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional view showing a state before movement of an accessory case of the dishwasher in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing a state after the accessory case of the dishwasher is moved. FIG. 3 is a front sectional view showing a state before the accessory case of the dishwasher is moved. FIG. 4: is front sectional drawing which shows the state after the movement of the accessory case of the dishwasher. FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the configuration of the dishwasher. Front surface In FIGS. 3 to 5, in order to clearly show the difference in the movement position of the accessory case, the reference numeral 29 of the accessory case is distinguished by the reference numerals a and b.

  First, the structure of the dishwasher in Embodiment 1 of this invention is demonstrated. 1-5, the housing | casing 21 which has the front opening part 20 in the front is accommodated in the system kitchen. The cleaning tank 22 provided inside the housing 21 is configured to be movable back and forth with respect to the housing 21, and includes a door body 23 that covers the front opening 20 when stored in the housing 21, and an upper surface opening upward. The part 24 (opening part) is provided and the tableware basket 26 which mounts the tableware 25 in the inside is arrange | positioned. The tableware basket 26 is configured in two upper and lower stages so that the upper shelf basket 27 covers a part of the upper portion of the lower basket 28.

  On the front part of the lower basket 28, a plurality of tableware support pins 30 (support members), a knife handle and a blade shape are formed on two rod-shaped wires that are substantially straight and arranged in parallel to each other. The knife support members 31a and 31b (support members) for supporting each of them are formed so as to stand upright in two rows in the front-rear direction. The knife support members 31a and 31b constitute a knife holder 31 (support member).

  The knife support members 31a and 31b and the tableware support pins 30 have different shapes according to the shape of the object to be supported. Specifically, the knife support members 31a and 31b are formed in the same length and are erected substantially vertically. On the other hand, the tableware support pins 30 that mainly support the dishes in a pair of two are erected with a slight inclination so that the pair of upper portions open with respect to the vertical, and the lengths thereof are the knife support members 31a and 31b. Although longer, the vertical height is substantially the same as the knife support members 31a and 31b. Therefore, the shape of the knife holder 31 and the shape of the portion mainly supporting the dishes composed of the pair of tableware support pins 30 are also different from each other.

In addition, in the front portion of the lower basket 28, the accessory case support that supports the accessory case 29 in parallel between the two rod-shaped wires in which the two rows of tableware support pins 30 and the knife support members 31a and 31b are erected. A wire 32 is provided. The accessory case 29 is provided with a recess 33 (see FIG. 1) corresponding to the tableware support pin 30 and the knife holder 31 at the bottom, and the tableware support pin 30 or the knife support member 31a according to the accessory case support wire 32 and the position, It is supported on the lower car 28 by 31b so as not to fall and fall.

  The accessory case 29 avoids the tableware support pin 30 and the knife holder 31, and the accessory case 29a on the leftmost side when viewed from the front in the horizontal direction of the dishwasher on the accessory case support wire 32 (FIGS. 3 and 5 ( It is movably installed from the position shown in a) to the position of the rightmost accessory case 29b (shown in FIGS. 4 and 5B). The knife holder 31 is formed to be covered with the accessory case 29a when the accessory case 29 is in the position of the accessory case 29a.

  In addition, the accessory case 29 has a plurality of protrusions 34 that secure a predetermined gap between the right side and the tableware 25 placed close to the moving direction at the position of the accessory case 29a. ing.

  Although not shown in detail in the rear part of the lower car 28, a general tableware placing part constituted by a plurality of wire rods in which a plurality of bar-shaped tableware support pins are erected is formed. Usually, dishes and bowls are placed on the tableware placement section.

  A cleaning nozzle 35 is rotatably provided below the lower car 28. The pump 36 circulates while cleaning the dishes 25 by spraying the cleaning water stored in the cleaning tank 22 from the cleaning nozzle 35. Rails 37 are disposed on the outside lower side of the left and right side portions of the cleaning tank 22 and on the inside of the left and right side surfaces of the housing 21. The cleaning tank 22 is supported by the housing 21 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction by the rail 37.

  A handle portion 38 is formed integrally with the door body 23. The user grasps the handle portion 38, pulls the cleaning tank 22 forward from the inside of the casing 21, and puts in and out the tableware 25 through the upper surface opening 24. An inner lid 39 that seals the upper surface opening 24 is provided in an upper space in the housing 21. When the cleaning tank 22 is returned into the housing 21, the inner lid 39 that has been waiting in the upper space in the housing 21 is moved rearward by the link mechanism 40 or the like disposed inside the left and right side surfaces of the housing 21. The upper surface opening 24 is closed while descending.

  Next, the operation and action of the dishwasher configured as described above will be described. First, the user pulls out the cleaning tank 22 from the housing 21 and places the tableware 25 on the tableware basket 26 from the upper surface opening 24 to be accommodated in the cleaning tank 22. Next, when the washing tub 22 is returned into the housing 21 and the operation of the dishwasher is started, the dishwasher is washed while heating the washing water by the heater 41 disposed at the bottom of the washing tub 22.

Further, when the user wants to clean the knife, when the accessory case 29 is laterally moved to the position of the accessory case 29b near the right side wall of the washing tub 22 on the rightmost side, the knife holder whose upper part is covered with the accessory case 29a. 31 appears and the knife can be placed in a safe form.

Thereby, the dishwasher of this invention can ensure the tableware capacity | capacitance similar to the past, making it possible to place the tableware 25, the cooking utensils, etc. which are less frequently mounted in a dishwasher.

  Further, by providing a projection 34 that secures a predetermined gap between the accessory case 29 and the tableware 25 placed close to the accessory case 29, the accessory case 29 is placed close to the accessory case 29 at the position of the accessory case 29a. A gap with the placed tableware 25 can be secured. The tableware 25 can be placed even while moving from the position of the accessory case 29a to the position of the accessory case 29b. However, depending on where the accessory case 29 is fastened, the gap between the tableware 25 and the accessory case 29 is larger than a predetermined value. Even when it becomes smaller, a predetermined gap is secured between the accessory case 29 and the tableware 25. Thereby, the dishwasher can apply the washing water sprayed by the washing nozzle 35 to the cutlery placed in the accessory case 29 or the tableware 25 installed in the vicinity of the accessory case 29, and has a washing ability. Can be secured.

Yes, the same effect can be obtained. Further, instead of the accessory case 29, for example, a glass stand may be movably arranged.

  The positional relationship between the knife holder 31 and the accessory case 29 is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the knife holder 31 is arranged not at the approximate center of the lower basket 28 but at the end, or the accessory case 29a, The position of 29b may be reversed. The same effect can be obtained even if the moving direction of the accessory case 29 is not the lateral direction.

  As described above, the dishwasher according to the present invention enables the movement of the accessory case when storing the tableware in the tableware basket, so that the dishwasher or the cooking utensils that are less frequently placed on the dishwasher can be moved. It is possible to secure the same tableware capacity as before while allowing it to be placed. Therefore, it is useful for a dishwasher or the like in which the opening of the washing tank is formed upward, such as a type that is built into the system kitchen.
