Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an accessory case for a dishwasher for washing dishes and the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional tableware containers in dishwashers have a multi-shelf structure as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. That is, in FIG. 5, the small utensils case has a plurality of columns 2 projecting from each other at intervals in the length direction on an elongated bottom plate 1 having a chevron-shaped cross section with both sides sloped linearly. 2 supports the shelf frames 3a, 3b of each stage. The shelf frame 3a at the top end is slightly inclined to either side and overhangs both sides of the support, and the shelf frame 3b of each stage below
These shelf frames 3a and 3b are supported by extending alternately from the same side as the upper side of the top shelf 3a, and each of these shelf frames 3a and 3b has a lattice of one row on each side with one grid interval between the supports. It has a shape. A large number of drainage holes 4 are formed in the bottom plate 1.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when spoons 5, chopsticks 6, etc. are put into such a small tableware container from the lattice 7 of the shelf frame 3a at the top end, the small tableware 5, 6
The lower ends 5a, 6a, etc. of the etc. slide on the inclined surface of the bottom plate 1 and are appropriately locked near the side of the bottom plate, or the lower part of the small tableware above the lower end is attached to one of the shelf frames 3b.
It will stay in the position where it is latched to the side edge of. On the other hand, the upper parts of the small tableware 5 and 6 are supported by the support bar 8 of the upper end shelf frame 3a, or the upper parts of the small tableware falling from the opposite side are supported from both sides so that they intersect or overlap each other. . In FIG. 6, the mechanism 9 shown below the bottom plate 1 is a spray nozzle mechanism, which moves from position A on the right side of the figure to position B on the left side, and emits cleaning liquid in the form of a fountain from the nozzle on the top surface. At position B, the cleaning liquid is mainly sprayed onto the right side of the small tableware 5, 6, etc., and at position B, the cleaning liquid is mainly sprayed onto the left side to wash these items.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned tableware support state in the small tableware case, running water from above the tableware may remain at the intersections from both sides of the small tableware 5, 6, etc., causing contamination. However, there has been a problem in that a shadow area is formed against the sprayed water and the cleaning effect is not achieved.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention substantially eliminates the support situation in which elongated small utensils cross or overlap each other even when they are casually thrown in, thereby improving cleaning performance. The purpose is to

Means to Solve the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has a plurality of pillars erected in one row in the front and back direction, and a plurality of pillars installed in upper and lower stages with one stitch interval between adjacent pillars. a shelf frame having inner protrusions formed therein; and a bottom plate forming the bottom of the shelf frame spaced apart from each other and having a large number of drainage holes, the bottom plate having a single inclined shape on the left and right sides. In addition, the inclination direction is set to be opposite to the bottom plate of the adjacent shelf frame at one stitch interval.

Effect: According to the above configuration, even when small tableware etc. are thrown in casually, their lower ends do not separate into both sides within the same cross section of the shelf frame, based on the alternately inclined arrangement of the bottom plate. The small tableware can be brought close to each other or spaced at intervals within the width of the lattice, thereby reducing crossover or overlapping of the small tableware and maintaining a state in which they are separated from each other. Therefore, the cleaning liquid from the spray nozzle can be sprayed relatively evenly onto each small tableware, and each small tableware can be effectively cleaned without creating a stagnant part of the washing water flowing down from above the small tableware. It becomes possible to do so.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In FIG. 1, the small tableware case 10 of the present invention has a multi-tiered shelf structure consisting of a plurality of columns 11 erected in a row, which are grouped by an uppermost shelf frame 12 and lower shelf frames. Top shelf frame 12
As with the conventional one, the shelf frames 13a, 13b, . These shelf frames 12, 13a,
13b...13i each form a lattice of one row each on the left and right, with the spacing of one stitch between the pillars. In the embodiment, inside the lattice 14 of each shelf frame there are inner protrusions 16 and 17 that are opposed to each other on the side edge of the shelf frame and the inner edge of the central support bar 15 passing between the respective supports 11.
is formed.

According to the present invention, the bottom plate 18 is an independent inclined plate between each support, and the direction of inclination is such that the left and right side edges of the support 11 are alternately the upper ends, and every other bottom plate is inclined in the same direction as the adjacent support. Shelf frame 13 with an extension or bridging side edge between the slanted bottom plate 18 side edges and the lowest two steps
h, forming the side edge of 13i. Each bottom plate 18 is also formed with a number of drainage holes 19, as in the prior art.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, 21 is a tableware basket in the washing tank 22 in which the above-mentioned small tableware case 10 is arranged, and in the area other than the small tableware case 10, plates, bowls, soup bowls, tea cups, etc. Touch the tableware
A large number of pins 23 are erected for support. In addition, 24 is a rail for taking the tableware basket 21 in and out of the washing tank 22, 25 is a spray nozzle mechanism, and 26 is a plurality of nozzle ports thereof, which move in a circular manner as the nozzle mechanism 25 rotates and spray washing water. It injects. Further, 27 is a pump that supplies cleaning liquid to the nozzle mechanism 25, 28 is a drain pump, 29 is a front lid of the cleaning tank 22, and 30 is an outer frame for the cleaning liquid.

Next, the operation of the small utensil holder 10 of the above-described embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. In the figure, the inclined bottom plates 18a and 18b between the supports 11 intersect in an X shape when projected onto each other. Small tableware placed in the grid 14, for example 31a, 31b
The lower ends of each slide on the bottom plate 18a, which slopes downward from left to right in the figure, and are respectively locked to the side edges of the lower support beam 15 and the lowermost shelf frame 13i, and the upper ends thereof are respectively attached to the uppermost shelf frame. 12 and the center support beam 15, and are supported in parallel without crossing or overlapping each other. The same applies to the relationship between other small tableware 32a and 32b. In addition, regarding the 31 and 32 supported by the bottom plate 18b whose lower ends are inclined to the opposite side, the figure shows only one inserted into each grid when viewed from above, but they are held in the same way as above. It is clear that Furthermore, when two or more small tableware are loaded in the same grid, the inner protrusions 16 and 17 in the grid explained with reference to FIG. It serves to separate the small tableware from adjacent small tableware at a slight angle, and even when washing a large number of small tableware, it is useful for holding the small tableware in a distributed manner. As a result, the washing water ejected from the nozzle 25 shown in FIG. 4 is effectively projected onto all the dishes and flows almost evenly over these surfaces, allowing washing to be carried out without any trouble.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, even when elongated small tableware is casually thrown in, by adjusting the inclination direction for each lattice of the shelf frame, the occurrence of crossover or overlapping parts can be effectively prevented. The cleaning solution from the spray nozzle is efficiently applied to these dishes.
This allows small dishes to be washed evenly and with excellent cleaning performance.

Furthermore, by providing the inner protrusions within the grid, even when small tableware is placed closely together, it is possible to prevent the tableware from crossing or overlapping as much as possible.
