Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a tableware dryer for drying tableware and other cooking utensils.

<Prior Art> Conventional drawer-type tableware dryers configured as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are described in Japanese Utility Model Publication Nos. 58-35345 and 62-1.
No. 34443.

FIG. 4 shows that the base frame 2 is slidably held by a pair of guide rails 3 provided at the bottom of the drying chamber, the front lid 1 is vertically fixed to the front end of the base frame, and the base frame 2 is moved to dry. The chamber is opened and closed, a large lower rack 6 is placed on the draining tray 5 on the base frame 2, an upper rack 8a for small articles is placed on the lower rack, and the upper rack 8a is housed in the lower rack. The position is freely changed according to the size of the dried product.

Similarly to the storage rack shown in FIG. 5, a frame 16 is provided on the base frame 2, the upper rack 8b is supported by the frame, and the front lid 1 is attached to the front end of the base frame.

In addition, the inventions of Japanese Utility Model Publication Nos. 62-64350 and 53-29521 disclose a support structure for a rack made of mesh or a bent rod. In the former, a bent rack is used to attach a mesh rack to a wall or the like. The latter is a structure in which the rack is mounted by hooking the bending support tools provided at the left and right rear ends of the rack into the hooking holes of the pair of bending support rods, and pressing both sides of the rack rear end against the bending support rods. It is a configuration that is held horizontally.

In the conventional rack support structure, the upper and lower racks can be directly stacked, the upper rack can be moved and the tableware can be replaced depending on the size of the tableware stored in the lower rack, but the rack that stores heavy tableware can be put in and taken out. Every time, the base frame and the bending support rod are overloaded, and all the weight acts on the base frame, and the corners formed at the joint between the front lid 1 and the base frame 2 are widened during the inserting / removing operation. As the handle is projected above the front lid, the force acting on the corner increases, causing the corner to sway, loosen or damage the corner. was there.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the force acting on the joint corner between the front lid and the base frame becomes excessive when the storage rack is taken out, and the corner joint is loosened. <Means for solving the problem> The present invention is to install an L-shaped front frame that also functions as a reinforcement on the left and right front ends of a base frame supported by guide rails laid on the left and right of the bottom of the drying chamber. The most characteristic feature is a structure in which a rear end edge of the front frame is cut out to provide a hooking groove, and a horizontal rod is provided on the lower front side of the hooking groove.

<Operation> When the front lid is pulled and the storage rack is pulled out, the upper rack exerts a force directly on the front lid via the hooked front frame, and the weight of all stored items is dispersed.

<Embodiment> The present invention will be described in detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. First
In the figure, a sink 15 with a cabinet is turned on to circulate warm air in the drying chamber 14. Guide rails 3 for guiding the respective base frames 2 are laid on the left and right sides of the bottom of the drying chamber 14, and the base frames 2
An L-shaped front frame 4 which also functions as a reinforcement is erected on the left and right of the front end of the, and the front cover 1 is fixed to the entire surface of the front frame to hermetically close the drying chamber 14. The rear edge of the L-shaped front frame 4, provided lock grooves 7 _1, 7 ₂ ... a plurality of stages having a top opening, on the base frame 2 through a dish 5 drained, lower rack thereon Place the 6, as well as to hold the platters a like by the disc receiving frame ₆₁ which is provided on said lower rack 6, placing the cups and teacups b near.

The upper rack 8 for receiving a small plate has left and right bent portions formed by rods 9 at front and rear ends thereof, and a rear rod 10 and a front rod 11 of each bent portion are formed.
When the upper end bent part of is engaged with the left and right hook grooves 7 ₁ (7 ₂ ...),
The front and rear rods are pressed against the back surface of the front lid 1 with a horizontal rod 12 provided laterally between the left and right front frames, and the upper rack 8 is secured to the front frame by prying the horizontal rod 12 and the front rod 11. Make sure that 4 is supported in a cantilever shape.

Although the lower rack 6 of the present invention is installed on the base frame 2 via the draining tray 5, the upper rack 8 is directly hung on the L-shaped front frame 4 which also functions as a reinforcement, regardless of the lower rack 6 and the base frame 2. By stopping and selecting the notch hooking grooves 7 ₁ , 7 ₂ ... according to the size of the tableware accommodated on the lower rack 6, and relocating the rack 8, it is possible to effectively use the drying chamber. Is.

<Effects of the Invention> Since the structure and operation of the tableware dryer of the present invention are as described above, when heavy and large tableware or cooking utensils are accommodated in the lower rack, the height of the large objects can be reduced. You can select the hooking position of the upper rack, can efficiently store many objects to be dried, and you can consider not to disturb the circulating hot air flow,
The drying efficiency can be further enhanced.

Further, since the upper rack is directly engaged with the L-shaped front frame that also functions as a reinforcement to disperse the load acting on the base frame, even if the front rack is pulled to pull the storage rack together with the base frame out of the cabinet, The force acting on the corner of the joint with the base frame becomes small, there is no need to require a large strength in the corner structure, the manufacturing is easy, and the damage is less likely to occur. It is a device.
