This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems. It allows cooking utensils such as cutting boards and knives to be easily stored, and the hot air in the accessory storage section and the dish drying room can be easily and efficiently adjusted. The purpose is to obtain a dish dryer that can dry dishes.

[Means to solve port issues]

The dish dryer according to the present invention includes a main body having a hot air generator, a dish drying chamber provided in the main body via a water receiving plate, a drainer basket provided in the dish drying chamber, and an opening of the dish drying chamber. a lid for covering the body, and an attached storage section provided on the main body, and the hot air generator is provided with a controlled and supplied warm air from the hot air generator to the dish drying room and the attached storage section, and a damper for controlling the warm air is provided to the above-mentioned water supply section. It is installed below the receiving plate.

[Effect]

The dish dryer according to the present invention is provided with an accessory storage section at a predetermined location on one main body, and a damper for controlling hot air that regulates the blowing of hot air from the hot air generator to the dish drying room and the accessory storage section separately or simultaneously. By providing it below the receiving plate,
@ Prevents water droplets from splashing on the wind adjustment damper, allowing effective use of space for utensils and cutting boards. To safely and efficiently dry cooking utensils such as knives.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In Figures 1 and 2, (1) is the main body, which has a water receiving plate (2) inside, and below this water receiving plate (2) is a motor (3) and a motor driven by the motor (3). Ru fan (4)
and a heater (5) provided in the air flow path formed on the back surface of the water receiving plate (2).
has. (7) is a draining basket provided above the water receiving plate (2) and stores tableware (8) therein.

Support parts (9) projecting upward are provided on both side walls of the main body (1), and the support parts (9) have a lid (l) consisting of a front lid a1 and a rear lid 01 as a rotation axis. This lid pivots with 0 center (
13 covers the upper opening of the main body (11).

The lid fi3 is sized to accommodate the drainer (7). (161 is an accessory storage part provided at the bottom of the main body (1), and a box Qυ for storing cooking utensils αη such as cutting boards and knives is inserted and pulled out from the opening αa on the front side. α9 is a colander (7) This is a tableware drying room where tableware (8) placed in the tableware is dried.
