Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a dish dryer for drying tableware.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, this type of dish dryer has a main body with a tableware storage basket containing tableware placed therein, a heating unit built into the main body that heats the tableware, and the heat used to dry the tableware. Publication No. 61-2860 (A47L19/
00). This heating unit is constructed by winding one heater around the entire surface of the board, so when drying a small amount of tableware or warming a tea cup, etc., the whole heating unit is heated and the tableware storage basket is heated. The entire device had to be heated, which took time and wasted power consumption.

(c) Problems that the invention aims to solve This invention was created in view of the above problems, and is a dish dryer that can dry or warm a small amount of tableware in a short period of time without wasting power. The technical challenge is to provide equipment.

(d) Means for solving the problem In order to solve the above problem, the heating unit has a first heater that heats almost the entire tableware storage basket, and a second heater that heats a part of the tableware storage basket. A changeover switch is provided to switch the energization to the first heater and the second heater.

(E) Effect Since the structure is as described above, when drying a large amount of tableware, the changeover switch is operated to energize the first heater and heat the entire tableware storage basket. When heating a tea cup, etc. or drying a small amount of tableware, store the tea cup, etc. in a position above the second heater in the storage basket, and operate the changeover switch to dry a small amount of tableware.
The heater is energized to heat the storage basket at a position above the second heater.

(F) Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body made of synthetic resin, which has a heating unit storage chamber 2 formed approximately in the center thereof. 3 is the storage room 2
A heating unit 5 is attached to a pair of mounting pieces 4 cut and formed into a metal storage box. The heating unit 5 includes a substrate 6 and a first heater 7 wound around substantially the entire surface of the substrate 6.
and a second heater 8 wound around one side of the substrate 6. 9 A metal heat dissipation plate that covers the upper part of the storage chamber 2, which has a gap between it and the main body 1 that serves as a heat dissipation path, and is inclined so that the gap on the side where the second heater 8 is wound becomes larger. and is attached to the main body 1. Reference numeral 10 denotes a changeover switch provided on the side surface of the main body 1, which controls energization of the first and second heaters 7 and 8. Reference numeral 11 denotes an indicator lamp provided on the side surface of the main body 1, which lights up when the first heater 7 or the second heater 8 is energized. 1
2 is a thermostat, 13 is a temperature heater, and the thermostat 12 and the temperature heater 13 are arranged on the side surface of the storage box 3, facing the part 14 where the first heater 7 and the second heater 8 of the heating unit 5 are both wound. is attached to. 15 is a water receptacle provided on the side surface of the main body 1.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a synthetic resin tableware storage basket with a top opening and a large number of through holes 17 in the bottom. It is placed and supported on the upper end. Reference numeral 18 denotes a transparent synthetic resin lid that covers the upper opening of the storage basket 16, and has a plurality of ventilation holes 19 bored in the upper surface. Reference numeral 20 denotes a partition plate that is detachably installed in the storage basket 16, and this partition plate 2
0, the inside of the storage basket 16 is divided into two rooms.

Next, the circuit will be explained based on FIG. 4. One end of the first and second heaters 7 and 8 has a temperature heater 13
It is connected to one end of a power plug 21 via a thermostat 12 and an indicator lamp 11, and the other ends of the first and second heaters 7 and 8 are connected in parallel to the other end of the power plug 21 via a changeover switch 10. There is.

When in use, the storage basket 16 is placed on the main body 1, tableware is stored in the storage basket 16, and the tableware is placed in the storage basket 16.
is covered with the lid body 18. When the changeover switch 10 is operated to energize the first heater 7, the heating unit 5
Almost the entire surface of the storage basket 16 is heated, and the hot air heats the entire storage basket 16 through the through holes 17, thereby drying the tableware.

When warming a cup A or drying a small amount of tableware, use the storage basket 1 as shown in Figure 1.
The cup A and the like are stored above the second heater 8 in the heater 6, and the changeover switch 10 is operated to energize the second heater 8. The heating unit 5 heats only one side, and the hot air rises through the through hole 17 to a position above the second heater 8 in the storage basket 16 to warm and dry the cups A and the like. At this time, since the heat dissipation plate 9 is inclined so that the distance from the main body 1 becomes larger on the second heater 8 side, the hot air easily flows to the upper position of the second heater 8, and warms the cup A etc. in a shorter time. drying and drying, reducing power consumption. In addition, partition plate 2
It is more effective if the inside of the storage basket 16 is divided using 0.

Furthermore, a thermostat 12 and a temperature heater 13
are the first heater 7 and the second heater 8 of the heater 5
Since both heaters 7 and 8 are mounted facing the wound portion 14, abnormal heating of both the first heater 7 and the second heater 8 can be detected.

Note that in this embodiment, the first heater 7 and the second heater 8
were provided separately, but as shown in the circuit diagram in Figure 5,
A tap 22 may be provided in the middle of the first heater 7, and a part of the first heater 7 may also be used as the second heater 8. Furthermore, rod-shaped heaters may be used as the first and second heaters 7 and 8. .

(g) Effects of the invention According to the invention, it is possible to heat a part of the tableware storage basket using the second heater of the heating unit, and to heat teacups etc. in a short time without wasting power consumption. Can be dried.
