Then, the upper end surface 9d of the decorative panel 9a abuts the lower ends of the left and right short surfaces 16b and the ribs 16c when the decorative panel 9a is fixed to the front plate 9e, thereby restricting the upper position.

Next, a configuration in which the decorative panel 9a is fixed to the front plate 9e of the support portion 9c will be described. FIG. 4 is a rear view of the door of the dishwasher according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 4, the state which looked at the front board 9e to which the decorative panel 9a was attached from the rear surface is shown. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a main part of FIG. In FIG. 5, the attachment structure of the decorative panel in the fixing | fixed part 30 provided in the front board 9e is shown. FIG. 6 is a bottom view of FIG. In FIG. 6, the adjustment part (adjustment screw 33) provided in the fixing | fixed part 30 is shown.

  In the present embodiment, the support portion 9c is provided on the front plate 9e in addition to the front plate 9e provided in front of the cleaning tank 2 and the front plate mounting portion 9f that fixes the front plate 9e to the cleaning tank 2. The fixing part 30 and an adjustment screw 33 provided on the fixing part 30 are included. As shown in FIG. 4, the front plate 9 e has fixing portions 30 that fix the decorative panel 9 a at two locations on the left and right sides. As shown in FIG. 5, the fixing portion 30 includes a gripping portion 31 having a pair of opposing gripping pieces 31 a and a through screw 32 that changes the dimension between the opposing gripping pieces 31 a in the lateral direction. As the washing tub 2 is pulled out, a space is created outside the side of the washing tub 2, so that an operator who installs the dishwasher can view the through screw 32 from the side and easily approach the side. And tools can be used.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the fixing portion 30 has an adjustment screw 33 that protrudes and descends in the vertical direction below the through screw 32. The adjustment screw 33 is an adjustment unit that can finely adjust the position of the decorative panel 9a up and down. Further, although not shown, the front plate 9e includes positioning portions for locking the upper part of the decorative panel 9a at two places on the left and right of the upper part.

  The decorative panel 9a has a fixing bracket 34 at a position corresponding to the fixing portion 30 provided on the front plate 9e on the back surface. The fixing bracket 34 is fixed in correspondence with the position sandwiched by the grip portion 31 of the fixing portion 30. And the adjustment screw 33 is arrange | positioned so that it may be located under the fixing bracket 34 to be fixed. In addition, positioning brackets (not shown) corresponding to the positioning portions of the front plate 9e are fixed to the left and right of the upper portion of the decorative panel 9a.

  Next, a method for attaching the decorative panel 9a to the front plate 9e will be described. First, the operator aligns the positioning bracket of the decorative panel 9a with a positioning portion (not shown) provided on the front plate 9e, and pushes the decorative panel 9a upward from obliquely below. Thereby, the positioning metal fitting is fitted into the engagement hole of the positioning portion. The engaging hole locks the decorative panel 9a so as not to fall forward while allowing the decorative panel 9a to move up and down.

  Next, the operator presses the lower part of the decorative panel 9a against the front surface of the front plate 9e. Thereby, the fixing bracket 34 of the decorative panel 9 a is pushed between the pair of gripping pieces 31 a of the fixing portion 30 and temporarily fixed. In this temporarily fixed state, the operator confirms whether a step or the like has occurred in the up-and-down position with the door or drawer decorative panel adjacent to the system kitchen K in which the dishwasher is housed.

  At this time, if a step is generated, the operator adjusts so as to eliminate the step. If the level difference is large, the dishwasher is once pulled out of the system kitchen K, and the screws of the legs 22 provided at the lower part of the housing 1 are adjusted to adjust. Thereafter, the dishwasher is stored again in the system kitchen K, the remaining steps are confirmed, the washing tank 2 is pulled out, and the adjustment screws 33 of the right and left fixing parts 30 are adjusted. Since the cleaning tank 2 is pulled out, a space is created below the cleaning tank 2, so that the operator can visually observe the adjusting screw 33 and easily approach the screw using the tool. Can be turned. As described above, the adjustment screw 33 is disposed so that the fixing bracket 34 is positioned directly above. Therefore, the fixture 34 is supported by the adjustment screw 33 from below and can move up and down between the pair of gripping pieces 31a.

  Thus, when the upper and lower steps between the decorative panel 9a of the dishwasher and the decorative panel such as the drawer disappear, the operator tightens the through screw 32 of the fixing portion 30. Thereby, the decorative panel 9a is fixed to the front plate 9e at a predetermined position. And the level | step difference of the upper and lower sides of the decorative panel 9a of a dishwasher and decorative panels, such as drawer, can be eliminated.

  As described above, with this configuration, the dishwasher according to the present embodiment can attach the decorative panel 9a having the same design as the door and drawer of the system kitchen K to be stored to all the front surfaces of the door 9, and the decorative panel 9a alone. The vertical position can be adjusted with ease, making fine adjustment easy and improving the design of the system kitchen K in which the dishwasher is stored.

  Further, a temperature sensor 21 is provided outside the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 2. The control device 11 detects the ambient temperature immediately after the operation without the cleaning water in the cleaning tank 2 by the temperature sensor 21, detects the temperature of the cleaning water in the washing step and the rinsing step after the cleaning water is supplied, and the drying step. Then, the temperature of the air in the washing tank 2 is detected. The control device 11 controls a washing step, a rinsing step, and a drying step according to a signal from the temperature sensor 21 and executes a washing operation. Further, the control device 11 controls the operation time of the first blower 13 and the second blower 19. And if it enters into a drying step, according to the atmospheric temperature detected immediately after the operation start, the combination of the operation time of the 1st air blower 13 and the 2nd air blower 19 will be controlled, and the high temperature high from the washing tank 2 will be controlled. Adjust the mixing ratio of humid air and external air. As a result, the temperature and humidity of the air exhausted from the exhaust port 17 are lowered to prevent dew condensation to the surroundings and not to make the user uncomfortable.

  About the dishwasher comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below. The user grasps the handle 9 b provided on the door 9 and pulls out the washing tub 2 from the housing 1, and places the dirty tableware 4 in the tableware basket 5 arranged in the washing tub 2. Next, a detergent is put in, a driving course is selected by a course selection button in the operation unit 12, and a driving start button is pushed. Then, the cleaning tank 2 is pushed into the housing position in the housing 1. At this time, the inner lid 10 is moved backward and downward by the link mechanism 10b to close the opening of the cleaning tank 2. At the same time, the micro switch (not shown) detects that the cleaning tank 2 is in the fully pushed position, and sends a detection signal to the control device 11, and the control device 11 starts the cleaning operation.

  When the cleaning operation is started, the control device 11 opens a water supply valve (not shown) and supplies tap water serving as cleaning water. Further, while washing water is heated by the heater 8 disposed in the washing tank 2, a washing step is performed in which the washing nozzle 7 sprays the dishes 4 toward the dishes 4 to remove stains on the dishes 4. Then, after rinsing by changing the washing water a plurality of times as a rinsing step, a rinsing heating rinsing step is performed while heating the newly supplied washing water to about 80 ° C. by the heater 8. Thereafter, the cleaning water is drained, and the air in the cleaning tank 2 is heated by the heater 8, and the high-temperature air containing a large amount of moisture is discharged from the discharge hole 15 by the first blower 13, and the dishes 4 and the cleaning tank A drying step for drying the inside of 2 is performed, and the operation is terminated by reaching a predetermined time or a predetermined temperature.

  Usually, the gap between the kitchen counter 20 and the upper end of the door 9 is as narrow as several millimeters. When the exhaust path 16 and the exhaust port 17 are provided in the narrow gap to exhaust the air outside the machine, the height of the exhaust port 17 becomes very small. In particular, if the upper long surface 16a of the exhaust path 16 and the lower long surface facing the long surface 16a are configured as gaps using respective members, the height of the exhaust port 17 becomes extremely small, and the cleaning tank There is a possibility that the air in 2 is not sufficiently exhausted and the drying performance is deteriorated. On the other hand, if the portion corresponding to the lower long surface of the exhaust path 16 is configured by the upper end surface 9d of the decorative panel 9a as in the present embodiment, the areas of the exhaust path 16 and the exhaust port 17 are maximized. Therefore, it is possible to secure a necessary air volume and prevent a decrease in drying performance.

In addition, since the exhaust port 17 is disposed behind the front surface of the decorative panel 9a, it is difficult for the user to see the dishwasher in the state where it is stored in the system kitchen K, and in particular, it cannot be seen when standing near the kitchen counter 20. The design of the system kitchen K in which the dishwasher with the design of the door 9 is accommodated is not impaired.

  The decorative panel 9 a attached to the door 9 is finely adjusted according to the vertical position of the door or drawer of the system kitchen K adjacent to the door 9. Therefore, the exhaust port 17 may be blocked by the decorative panel 9a and the exhaust may be hindered. However, according to the present embodiment, the mounting position in the upward direction is regulated by the short surface 16b and the lower end of the rib 16c. Therefore, exhaust from the exhaust port 17 is not hindered. Furthermore, when the decorative panel 9a is fixed to the support portion 9c of the door 9, the workability can be improved because the decorative panel 9a can be positioned in accordance with the short surfaces 16b and the lower ends of the ribs 16c. At this time, the fine adjustment of the vertical position of the decorative panel 9a with respect to the door and drawer of the system kitchen K is performed by extending and contracting the vertical direction portion of the exhaust passage 16 within a range in which the exhaust port 17 in the gap does not hinder the removal and insertion of the cleaning tank 2. It can also be configured as follows. Alternatively, the exhaust port 17 may be fixed and expanded by extending and contracting the legs 22 provided on the lower surface of the housing 1.

For example, the exhaust port 17 is configured to face upward with the same height as the upper end surface 9d of the decorative panel 9a, and further guides upward exhaust to the front end of the upper surface of the housing 1. A plate may be configured and exhausted from the gap between the decorative panel 9a and the kitchen counter 20.

  Further, in the initial stage of the drying step, high-temperature air that is heated and contains a particularly large amount of water is discharged from the discharge hole 15, so if it is discharged from the exhaust port 17 as it is, it is exhausted into the gap between the decorative panel 9 a and the kitchen counter 20. Condensation tends to condense around the exhaust port 17. In order to prevent the dew condensation, the control device 11 intermittently operates the first blower 13 that discharges high-temperature air containing moisture to reduce the air volume and mix the air outside the cleaning tank 2. By continuously operating the device 19 and increasing the air volume, the temperature and humidity of the exhaust gas in which these airs are mixed can be lowered, and the surrounding dew condensation can be prevented. The air volume change of each blower may be time adjustment by intermittent operation or rotation speed adjustment by continuous operation.

At this time, when the ambient temperature is low, the surface temperature of the decorative panel 9a and the kitchen counter 20 is also low, so the dew point temperature is low and condensation is likely to occur. Therefore, the control device 11 is changed so as to suppress the operation time of the intermittent operation of the first blower 13 to reduce the discharge amount of the high-temperature air from the washing tank 2, and the washing tank 2 by the second blower 19. While reducing the ratio to the air volume from the outside, the operation time of the drying step is extended in order to maintain the drying performance. In this way, the control device 11 estimates the surface temperature of the decorative panel 9a and the kitchen counter 20 by detecting the ambient temperature at the start of operation by the temperature sensor 21, and if the ambient temperature is high, the first is more than necessary. Without suppressing the operation of the air blower 13, the drying step is efficiently performed for a short time while preventing dew condensation to the surroundings. If the ambient temperature is low, dew condensation to the surroundings can be achieved even if the drying step time is extended. Suppress. Thereby, the optimal drying operation according to atmospheric temperature can be performed.

  The dishwasher of the present embodiment includes a first blower 13 that blows air to the washing tub 2 and a second blower 19 that joins air outside the washing tub 2 in the middle of the exhaust path 16. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the flow dividing device (not shown) which does not have the 2nd air blower 19, and diverts the ventilation by the 1st air blower 13 into the flow path which flows in into the washing tank 2, and the air flow path 18 which does not flow in instead. And the air that has flowed into and discharged from the cleaning tank 2 and the air from the blower path 18 are merged in the middle of the exhaust path 16. You may adjust the ratio with the air volume from the tank exterior.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the fixing portion 30 of the support portion 9c provided in front of the cleaning tank 2, the fixing bracket 34 on the back surface of the decorative panel 9a is temporarily attached to the holding portion 31 having a pair of opposing holding pieces 31a. It was configured to be fixed. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and it is only necessary to temporarily fix the decorative panel 9a so that the decorative panel 9a can be adjusted up and down by the adjusting unit and to fix the decorative panel 9a after the adjustment.

  Moreover, although the adjustment part was illustrated with the adjustment screw 33, it is not limited to this, For example, what was comprised so that a thin spacer may be inserted | pinched only by the predetermined dimension etc. may be sufficient. Further, the adjustment unit may not be configured to move only the decorative panel 9a up and down, but may be configured to adjust the front plate 9e to which the decorative panel 9a is fixed up and down.

  Furthermore, the front plate attachment portion 9f is not limited to an independent configuration as described in the present embodiment, and may be formed integrally with the front plate 9e or integrated with the cleaning tank 2, for example. It may be formed into. The size of the front plate 9e is arbitrary, and for example, the decorative panel 9a may be configured to be attached to the front plate attachment portion 9f via the fixing portion 30 without using the front plate 9e.
