Further, a notch 7 is provided in a cabinet side surface portion 6 opposite to the entrance / exit 5 of the dishwasher. Further, as shown in the figure, an opening 9 is provided in the upper portion 8 of the lower cabinet 3. In this way, by providing an opening in the upper part of the lower cabinet, depending on the installation method of the dishwasher in the cabinet and the connection method of the water supply / drainage pipe, the water supply / drainage pipe using the notch 7 provided in the cabinet side surface part 6 is used. If the piping work is not efficiently performed, the work efficiency can be improved by performing the connection work by looking up above the opening 9 from the inside of the lower cabinet 3.

FIG. 3 is a partially omitted perspective view of a dishwasher cabinet according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Similar to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a dishwasher cabinet 4 is arranged adjacent to the sink 1 of the kitchen, and a door 5 of the dishwasher is provided on the side surface of the cabinet facing the sink 1. A notch 7 is provided in the cabinet side surface portion 6 on the opposite side to the doorway 5. Further, in the dishwasher cabinet of this embodiment, a detachable dishwasher mounting plate 10 is provided at the installation location of the dishwasher, and the dishwasher mounting plate 1 is further installed.
At 0, a connector 11 for connecting a water supply / drainage pipe is provided. In order to be compatible with dishwashers having various structures and shapes, the dish mounting plate 10 is provided with connector mounting holes at two positions on the left and right, and mounting hole covers 2 are provided for unused mounting holes.
Insert 6. FIG. 4 is a partially omitted perspective view showing a state before the respective members of the same dishwasher cabinet are assembled. As can be seen from the figure, when installing the dishwasher in the cabinet, first connect the water supply / drain pipe to the dishwasher mounting plate 1.
0 connector 11, then dishwasher mounting plate 10
After fixing the dishwasher to the placing plate 10 using the positioning recess 12 of the dishwasher provided in the cabinet 4, the dishwasher placing plate 10 with the dishwasher fixed is mounted on the cabinet 4. If it is installed inside, the work will be easier. In addition, as shown in FIG.
5 can also be provided. In this case, the work of connecting the water supply / drainage pipe through the bottom of the dishwasher mounting plate becomes easier. Further, the dishwasher mounting plate may be of a fixed type, in which case the water supply / drainage pipe is first connected to the mounting plate fixed to the cabinet, and then the dishwasher is incorporated into the cabinet. In addition, in FIG. 6, a dishwasher is incorporated,
FIG. 7 is a rear view of the same dishwasher cabinet with the water supply and drainage pipes connected, and FIG. 7 is a left side view of the same. As can be seen from the drawing, by providing the dishwasher mounting plate 10 and connecting the water supply pipe 13 and the drain pipe 14 through the bottom of the mounting plate 10, the hose is entangled or exposed unnecessarily. Without this, piping work can be done smoothly and a clean appearance can be maintained.

Next, FIG. 8 shows a partially omitted sectional view of a dishwasher incorporated in the same dishwasher cabinet. As shown in the figure, a dish basket 19 for accommodating dishes 18 is vertically arranged in a washing tank 17 of the dish washing machine 16, and a washing nozzle 20 is provided between the dish baskets 19.
Is provided so as to extend in the width direction w orthogonal to the depth direction of the dishwasher. The washing nozzle 20 is provided with a plurality of jet ports 21 for jetting washing water, and the washing nozzle 20 jets the washing water from the jet port 21 around an axis in the vertical direction with respect to the vertical direction of the dishwasher. While rotating. The dishwasher 16 is of a central water supply type in which a water supply pipe 22 is connected to the central portion of the cleaning nozzle 20, and a water supply / drainage pipe is connected to the central portion where the water supply pipe 22 is located. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a space at the end of the dishwasher as a connection for the water supply / drain pipe, unlike the dishwasher with a structure in which the water supply pipe is connected to one of the left and right ends of the nozzle. It is possible to reduce the dimension in the direction w. On the other hand, in such a central water-supply type dishwasher, since the water supply / drain pipe is connected to the center of the rear part of the dishwasher, a space is required only for the connection part at the rear of the dishwasher. As in the invention, it is possible to install this dishwasher without expanding the depth dimension of the cabinet body by providing a notch in the side part that corresponds to the rear part of the dishwasher cabinet of the dishwasher cabinet to absorb this space. Is. If the dishwasher installed in the cabinet has a structure that water is supplied from the end of the washing nozzle instead of the central water supply type, a notch is provided on the side surface of the cabinet that corresponds to the connection between the water supply / drain pipe and the dishwasher.
