[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Conventional dish dryers are configured as described above, so there is no place or storage space for cooking utensils such as cutting boards and wrappers used when cooking, and it is not possible to dry cooking utensils efficiently. Degizukomatsu was standing there.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a dish dryer that can easily store cooking utensils such as cutting boards and wrappers and can dry them efficiently.

[Means to solve the problem]

The dish dryer according to the present invention includes a main body having a hot air generation chamber, a first air hole provided in the main body and communicating with the hot air generation chamber through a first air hole, and hot air from the hot air generation chamber being supplied. A first drying chamber, a lid covering an opening of the first drying chamber, and a second drying chamber provided in the main body and communicating with the first drying chamber through a second ventilation hole, A portion of the hot air from the hot air generation chamber is supplied to the first drying chamber through the second air hole through the second drying chamber, and is then discharged to the outside.

[Effect]

The dish dryer according to the present invention has an accessory storage section provided at a predetermined location of the main body, blows hot air from a hot air generator to the accessory storage section, and supplies the hot air to the dish drying chamber, thereby making it possible to dry the cutting board. Cooking utensils such as rice cookers and wrappers can be stored in the attached storage compartment for efficient drying.

[Embodiments of the invention]

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

1 and 2, 1 is a main body, which has a water receiving plate 2 inside, and below this water receiving plate 2 is a motor 3, a fan 4 driven by the motor 3, and a water receiving plate 2. It has a hot air generator 6 configured with a heater 5 provided in an air flow path formed on the back surface. 7 is a dish drying chamber provided above the water receiving plate 2, and 8 is a draining basket provided in the dish drying chamber 7, in which tableware 9 is stored.

Support portions 10 projecting upward are provided on both side walls of the main body 1.
A front cover 11 is provided on this support portion 10.
A lid 13 consisting of a rear lid 12 and a rear lid 12 is pivotally mounted on a rotation shaft 14, and this lid 13 covers the upper opening of the main body 1. This lid 13 is attached to the drainer basket 8.
It is sized to accommodate.

Reference numeral 16 denotes an accessory storage section provided at the bottom of the main body 1, into which a box 19 for storing cooking utensils 18 such as cutting boards and wrappers is inserted or pulled out through an opening 7 on the front side. In this embodiment, the box 19 is composed of an inner box 20 and an outer box 21, and the inner box 20 is configured to slide on the bottom of the outer box 21 so that it can be expanded and contracted. 22 is a long hole provided at the bottom of the inner box 20, and 23 is a projection that is provided at the bottom of the outer box 21 and inserted into the long hole 22 of the inner box 20.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a first hot air blowing hole provided in the water receiving plate 2, which supplies hot air from the hot air generator 6 to the dish drying chamber 7. Reference numeral 25 denotes a second hot air blowing hole provided in the water receiving plate 2, which supplies hot air blown from the hot air generating device 6 to the attached storage section 16 to the dish drying chamber 7.

In the above configuration, when drying the tableware 9, the hot air sent from the hot air generator 6 is sent below the drainer basket 8 through the first hot air ventilation hole 24, and the blown warm air is drained. It passes through the basket 8 and the tableware 9 is dried.

On the other hand, cooking utensils 18 such as cutting boards and wrappers used during cooking are stored in an attached storage section 16 formed below the water receiving plate 2 through an opening 17 on the front side, and warm air from the hot air generator 6 is blown into the attached storage part 16 to dry the cooking utensils 18, and the hot air is supplied to the tableware drying chamber 7 from the second warm air blowing hole 25.

In the above embodiment, the accessory storage section 16 is provided at the bottom of the main body 1, but the accessory storage section may be provided at the top of the main body 1 or at a predetermined location.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber are provided and warm air is blown from the hot air generation chamber, so that, for example, the drying chamber can be selected depending on the item to be dried. That is, since tableware and cooking utensils such as knives can be separated and dried, the device can be highly safe for the operator.

In addition, the hot air from the hot air sending room is not only sent directly to the first drying room, but also a portion of it is sent to the first drying room through the second drying room. It is possible to dry efficiently, and there is no need to provide separate exhaust ports for the first drying chamber and the second drying chamber to exhaust the air to the outside of the main body, making it possible to obtain an inexpensive and convenient dryer. It will be done.
