Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tableware drier for storing and drying tableware, and more particularly, to improve the handleability by allowing a cutting board to stand in a container for storing tableware. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, tableware dryers of this type are shown in FIGS.
The configuration was as shown in.

That is, the main body 4 provided with the warm air generator 2 and the control unit 3 is arranged below the container 1, and the upper surface of the main body 4 collects water droplets falling from the tableware stored in the container 1. It also serves as a water receiving plate 8. A warm air blowout port 9 is provided substantially at the center of the main body 4 so as to project from the upper surface of the water receiving plate 8, and a blowoff cover 9a is attached to cover the upper surface.

The container 1 is detachably mounted on the main body 4, and the tableware stand 7 at the bottom has a lattice shape on the entire surface so that the tableware can be stood up and stored.
A pin 7a is provided so that the cutting board 11 can be erected on either the right side or the left side (the example on the left side in FIG. 4) of the tableware stand 7. (For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-130757)

[0005]

According to the above construction, since the cutting board 11 can be stored only in one of the right side and the left side (left side in FIG. 4) of the tableware stand 7, the cutting board 11 is temporarily stored as shown in FIG. When stored on the left side and the tableware dryer is installed on the left side of the sink of the sink, the tableware can be smoothly taken in and out even with the cutting board 11 standing upright. In this case, since the cutting board 11 is set up on the left side in the container 1, there is a problem that the cutting board 11 interferes with the loading and unloading of the dishes and the dishes cannot be loaded and unloaded smoothly.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a container for storing tableware, a hot air generator for supplying warm air for drying the tableware in the container, and a hot air generator. A tableware dryer comprising a main body having a control unit for controlling the energization of a device and a lid for opening and closing the opening of the container to form a drying chamber, in which tableware is placed on the bottom of the container. The stand is detachably provided, and the table stand is movable in the container to the left and right within a predetermined range.

[0007]

With the above construction, regardless of whether the tableware dryer of the present invention is installed on the left or right of the sink of the sink, the user moves the tableware stand in the container to select the cutting board on the left or right of the tableware dryer. Can stand on the side.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The configuration of the embodiment is as shown in FIGS.

In the figure, 1 is a container for storing tableware,
Reference numeral 2 is a warm air generator for supplying warm air for drying the dishes in the container 1, which is a motor 2a, a heater 2b and a motor 2
and a fan 2c driven by a.
3 is a control unit (hereinafter referred to as a timer) including a timer, and 4 is a main body, which is divided into a panel 4a and a back plate 4b, and the warm air generator 2 is fixed to the back plate 4b. A mouth 9 is provided opposite the vent 10 of the container 1. Further, a timer 3 for setting energization to the hot air generator 2 and a lamp (not shown) for displaying the energization state are attached to the panel 4a. Reference numeral 5 denotes a space in the drying chamber formed by the container 1 and the lid 6 that covers the opening of the container 1. The container 1 has a ventilation port 10 provided at the lower center of the front side,
And a bottom surface 1a inclined toward the ventilation port 10,
An independent leg 1b is provided on the outer periphery of a. Further, the bottom of the container 1 has a tableware stand 7 on which the tableware is placed without contacting the bottom surface 1a. Reference numeral 6 denotes a lid that covers the opening of the container 1 so as to be openable and closable. The front lid 6a, the rear lid 6b, and the hinge portion 6c.
The front lid 6a and the rear lid 6b are rotatably connected to each other by a hinge portion 6c, and are detachably attached to the container 1 by the hinge portion 6c.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a tableware stand on which tableware is placed, which is detachably provided on the bottom of the container 1 and can be moved to the right and left within the container 1 within a predetermined range. The size is about 3-4 cm smaller. In addition, a concave or convex projection for receiving the legs of the dish stand 7 may be provided on the bottom surface of the container 1 so that the dish stand 7 is fixed. Further, in order to accommodate a larger cutting board 11 in a limited product space, a concave recess 1c is provided on the left and right of the container 1 to provide a receiving board for the cutting board 11.

In the above structure, when the dishes are dried, the washed dishes are placed on the dish stand 7 and the timer 3 is operated to energize the motor 2a and the heater 2b to rotate the fan 2c. The generated hot air passes from the hot air outlet 9 through the vent 10 of the container 1 and the bottom surface 1 of the container 1.
From the space between "a" and the tableware stand 7, it is guided to the placed tableware. The warm air is heated and dried on the tableware, and then discharged from the exhaust port 6d provided in the lid 6 to the outside of the device. Timer 3
After the set time of, the power is automatically cut off and the drying is completed.

Therefore, whether the tableware dryer of the present invention is installed on the left or right of the sink of the sink,
By moving the dish stand 7 inside, the cutting board 11 can be placed on either side of the dish dryer on the desired side.

[0013]

According to the tableware dryer of the present invention, the user can stand the cutting board on the desired side by moving the tabletop in the container 1. Therefore, even if the cutting board is stored in the container, the dishes can be taken in and out smoothly, and the tableware dryer with improved handleability can be provided.
