Abstract

PURPOSE:To almost completely wash the tableware by stirring and vibrating particles together with a liquid in a case, and also, heating the liquid. CONSTITUTION:A stirring machine 5 stirs a liquid and particles contained in a case 3, brings the liquid and the particles into contact with tableware 1 supported or contained in a tableware shelf 2, and eliminates contamination adhering to the tableware. The stirring machine can eliminate comparatively large contamination adhering to tableware. A vibrator 6 vibrates the liquid and the particles contained in the case 3, and vibrates the liquid and the particles which come into contact with the tableware supported or contained in the tableware shelf. The vibrator 6 can eliminate comparatively small contamination adhering to the tableware. A heater 9 heats the liquid so that the contamination adhering to the tableware can be eliminated easily from the tableware. A catching device 8 catches the particles, by which contamination eliminated from the tableware is separated at the time of discharging the liquid, and the contamination is discharged surely and quickly together with the liquid by discharge means 10, 11.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to the mechanical structure of automatic dishwashers.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of washing machine cleans dishes by wiping them with a jet of cleaning liquid.

The above-mentioned conventional washing machine uses a method of cleaning dishes by wiping the dishes with a jet of cleaning liquid, so the automatic dishwasher of the present invention has a method that supports the dishes to sufficiently remove dirt firmly attached to the dishes. Alternatively, a cupboard for storing the cupboard, a case for housing the cupboard and a cleaning liquid, a liquid supply port for supplying the cleaning liquid (hereinafter referred to as liquid) into the case, a stirrer for stirring the liquid, and a shaker for vibrating the liquid. Consisting of a vibrator, a plurality of particles having different masses housed in the case, a trap that captures the particles at a predetermined position, a heater that heats the liquid, and a discharge means that discharges the liquid out of the case. be done.

[For production]

The stirrer stirs the liquid and particles housed in the case, brings the liquid and particles into contact with tableware supported or stored in the cupboard,
Remove dirt from dishes.

The stirrer can remove relatively large stains from dishes. The vibrator vibrates the liquid and particles contained in the case, vibrates the liquid and particles that have come into contact with tableware supported or stored in the cupboard, and removes dirt attached to the tableware. A vibrator can remove relatively small stains from dishes.

The heater warms the liquid, making it easier to remove stains from the dishes. By trapping particles, the trap
To separate stains removed from tableware when liquid is discharged, and surely and promptly discharge the stains together with the liquid by a discharge means.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention. Tableware 1 and
A shelf 2 that accommodates tableware 1, a sealed case 3 that surrounds these and can be opened and closed, a liquid supply port 4 that supplies liquid into the case 3, an agitator 5 that stirs the liquid, and a vibration that vibrates the liquid. machine 6, a plurality of particles 7 having different masses, a trap 8 that traps the particles 7 in a predetermined position, and a heater 9 that heats the liquid.
The present invention is comprised of a discharge plate 11 connected to a motor 10 for discharging the precepts. Motor 10 and discharge plate 11
constitutes a discharge means for discharging the liquid to the outside of the case 3.

2 to 6 are side views showing different operating states of FIG. 1. FIG. 2 shows the tableware 1 being washed by the liquid 12 supplied into the case 3. The liquid 12 is stirred by the stirrer 5, and the particles 7 with different masses are separated from each other according to their respective masses. Move the tableware 1
The surface of the tableware 1 is cleaned to some extent. The cleaning by the agitator 5 mainly cleans large dirt.

At this time, the liquid 12 is being heated by the heater 9.

FIG. 3 shows a state where cleaning by agitation has been completed, and shows a comparative condition made of a magnetized material, such as plasti, by energizing a trap 8, such as an electromagnet 8 (some b may be a permanent magnet).

The bar-shaped particles 7 are captured at a predetermined position by a trap 8. Mainly stains 13' that are far from tableware 1, and large stains are treated with liquid 1.
I'm leaning on 2.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which the liquid 12 with dirt, mainly large dirt 13, is discharged to the outside of the case 3. The discharge plate 11 is opened by the motor 10, and the liquid 12 with dirt 13 is discharged from the case 3. The surface of the tableware 1 is shown being cleaned by vibrating the liquid 12 along the inclined bottom surface 14 in the direction of the arrow 15, and relatively small dirt 16 is removed from the tableware 1.
removed from The liquid 12 is heated by the heater 9, and if the trap 8 is an electromagnet 8, it is not energized. If the trap 8 is a permanent magnet, even in the case of FIGS. 2 and 5, if the magnetic force is weaker than the eddy current force or vibration force and the button is pressed, the particles 7 can be mixed into the liquid 12 without any problem, stirred and vibrated, It can have a cleaning function, and when stirring and vibration are stopped, it functions as a trap as shown in Fig. 3.

Figure 4 shows small dirt 1 after cleaning by vibration as shown in Figure 5.
6 is shown being ejected, and particles 7 are captured by an energized electromagnet 8.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which the washing process of the tableware 1 has been completed, and the particles 7 are released from the de-energized electromagnet 8 and stored in the case 3.

The particles 7 may or may not have protrusions 17 on their surfaces as shown. The surface of the particle 7 is made of a relatively soft material such as plastic, and a magnetic material is mixed inside the particle 7.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various design changes are possible. For example, the top surface of the case 3 can be made openable and closable so that tableware 11, cupboard 2, etc. can be taken in and out. At this time, the trap 8 can be attached to the inner side of the upper surface by protruding inward of the case 3 by a predetermined amount. and,
The upper surface of the liquid 12 may be controlled so as to be located below the upper surface of the case 3 and above the trapping surface of the trap 8.

Further, the discharge means 10.11 may have a configuration in which a discharge port is provided on the bottom surface of the case 3, a shutter is provided for opening and closing the discharge port, and discharge is controlled by opening and closing the shutter. It is recommended that the discharge port be provided with a net to prevent the particles 7 from being accidentally discharged together with the dirt 13 and 16.

Furthermore, the liquid supply port 4 can also be configured as a liquid supply port by using the upper surface of the case 3.

It is also possible to operate the agitator 5 and the vibrator 6 at the same time for cleaning.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, tableware can be almost completely washed by stirring and vibrating the particles together with the liquid in the case and heating the liquid.
