The leg fixing metal fittings 7 are vertically provided from the front side of the flange portion 7d.
Is attached to the waterproof pan 5, the rib 7e comes into contact with the surface of the contact piece 20 of the waterproof pan 5.

Under the above-mentioned structure, the dishwasher 4 has a sink 1
In order to install it in the storage chamber 3, the waterproof pan 5 is first set on the bottom surface of the storage chamber 3. Next, the metal fitting 9b below the fixing metal fitting 9 is housed in the escape portion 13 of the waterproof pan 5, and the fixing metal fitting 9 is positioned. Then, the waterproof pan 5 is slightly moved so as not to move the fixing bracket 9 to uncover the screwed portion of the fixing bracket 9, and the fixing bracket 9 is screwed and fixed at that position. In the past, it was necessary to measure the size of the fixing metal fitting 9 by measuring with a measure or the like, and the measurement work in the inner part of the storage chamber 3 was difficult. Here, waterproof pan 5
Since the fixing member 9 can be positioned by the relief portion 13, the positioning work is facilitated.

After fixing the fixing member 9, the waterproof pan 5 is set again. At this time, the waterproof pan 5 stops when the back surface of the contact piece 20 contacts the lower edge of the opening of the storage chamber 3, and does not enter the back of the storage chamber 3. Therefore, the front end of the waterproof pan 5 is surely positioned at the opening edge of the storage chamber 3. In addition, the front end portion of the bottom plate 10 and the contact piece 20 cover the lower edge portion of the opening of the storage chamber 3.

Subsequently, the leg fixing metal fitting 7 is set on the front part of the waterproof pan 5, and as shown in FIG. 10, it is fixed to the bottom of the storage chamber 3 together with the waterproof pan 5 with the screw 22. As a result, the waterproof pan 5 is also fixed to the bottom surface of the storage chamber 3.

Then, the dishwasher 4 is stored in the storage chamber 3 from the front side, the front leg 6 of the dishwasher 4 is put into the insertion hole 7a of the leg fixing bracket 7, and the rear surface of the dishwasher 4 is placed. The lower stopper metal fitting 8 is placed on the waterproof pan 5 so as to be positioned below the metal fitting 9a on the upper side of the fixing metal fitting 9.
Thus, the installation of the dishwasher 4 in the storage room 3 is completed.

Here, in order to store the dishwasher 4 in the storage chamber 3, the dishwasher 4 is relatively heavy.
First, lower the rear leg 6 onto the bottom plate 10 of the waterproof pan 5,
Hold the front part of the main body so that the legs 6 pass through the wide groove 12a formed in the bottom plate and push the dishwasher inward. At this time, since the rear leg 6 is guided by the wall (rib) of the groove 12a, the dishwasher 4 can be put in almost straight and the workability of installation is improved.

However, when the dishwasher 4 is pushed into the storage chamber 3 as described above, only the rear legs 6 of the main body are placed on the waterproof pan 5, and the front legs 6 are in a floating state. Therefore, the dishwasher 4 may be inserted in a state in which the dishwasher 4 is slightly tilted forward. Although the side plate 17 of the waterproof pan 5 is formed lower than the legs, in such a case, the position of the bottom surface of the dishwasher 4 on the front side of the waterproof pan 5 may be lower than that of the side plate 17. In addition, since the bottom plate 10 has almost the same size as the bottom surface of the dishwasher 4, there is a possibility that the side plate 17 may be hit when the dish washer 4 shakes sideways and the side plate 17 may be damaged. However, if the side plate 17 is lowered in order to prevent this, water leaking from the dishwasher 4 will easily pass over the side plate 17.

Here, in order to deal with the above problem, the front side 17c which may be damaged when the dishwasher 4 is inserted.
Is lowered and the rear side 17a is raised. And thereby, water leakage can be suppressed as much as possible without damage.

Now, in the state where the dishwasher 4 is installed in the storage chamber 3, if water leaks from the bottom of the dishwasher 4 for some reason during operation, the water falls into the waterproof pan 5. Since the side and the back are surrounded by the side plate 17 and the rear plate 18, the water that has fallen into the waterproof pan 5 flows forward. In particular, the water dropped in the grooves 12 flows forward along the grooves 12. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, there is no gap between the screw holes 7c of the flange portion 7d of the leg fixing metal fitting 7 between the screw holes 7c and the portion where the tightening force is weak, or the leg fixing metal fitting 7 at the corner of the waterproof pan 5 does not exist. It flows through the portion, flows along the surface of the contact piece 20, and falls to the floor surface in front of the storage chamber 3. That is, storage room 3
Water does not leak from the waterproof pan 5 inside. In addition, the contact piece 20
Without it, the water leaked from the front end of the waterproof pan 5 easily wraps around to the back side of the waterproof pan 5 due to surface tension and easily enters between the waterproof pan 5 and the bottom surface of the storage chamber 3. However, the contact piece 20 should be provided. Therefore, it becomes difficult for water to enter between the waterproof pan 5 and the bottom surface of the storage chamber 3. In particular, the lower frame 21a provided on the abutting piece 20 causes the water to finally move to the front, so that the water is less likely to flow to the back side of the waterproof pan 5.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the sink 1 from being submerged in water. Moreover, the water leaking from the dishwasher 4 can be quickly confirmed by the water leaking to the floor surface.

In particular, a plurality of grooves 1 are formed on the surface of the bottom plate 10.
By providing 2 ..., the water leaked into the groove 12 ...
It is guided to the front side through the grooves 12 ... without expanding laterally. Therefore, even a small amount of water can be led to the front of the storage chamber 3, so that the water leakage can be confirmed before the water leakage becomes severe.

Further, since the plurality of grooves 12 are formed by the plurality of ribs 11 provided upright on the surface of the bottom plate 10, the ribs 11 can reinforce the bottom plate 10 and the strength of the waterproof pan 5. Will increase.

[0044]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the rear and side of the bottom plate of the waterproof pan is surrounded by the side plates and the rear plate, and the front side is provided with the contact piece. More so that the back surface of this contact piece contacts the lower edge of the opening of the storage chamber,
The front edge of the waterproof pan is surely positioned at the opening edge of the storage room, and the water leaking from the bottom of the dishwasher flows along the surface of the contact piece and leaks to the floor in front. , Without leaking water from the waterproof pan in the storage room,
In addition, it becomes difficult for water to enter between the waterproof pan and the bottom surface of the storage chamber.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the interior of the kitchen stand from being submerged in water. Also, water leaking from the dishwasher can be quickly confirmed by the water leaking to the floor.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, by providing a plurality of grooves on the surface of the bottom plate,
The water leaking into the groove is guided to the front side through the groove without spreading laterally. Therefore, even a small amount of water can be led to the front of the storage chamber, so that the water leakage can be confirmed before the water leakage becomes severe.

Furthermore, according to the third aspect of the present invention, since the plurality of grooves are formed by the plurality of ribs provided upright on the surface of the bottom plate, the bottoms are formed by the ribs for forming the grooves. The face plate can be reinforced, increasing the strength of the waterproof pan.

Further, according to the structure of claim 4 of the present invention, when the dishwasher is installed in the storage chamber, the width of the groove which is the passage of the legs of the dishwasher is made larger than the width of the legs. Since it is formed, the wall of the groove (rib) serves as a guide for the legs of the dishwasher, and the dishwasher can be easily installed. Also,
Since the legs of the dishwasher can be accommodated in the groove, the height when the dishwasher is installed in the waterproof pan can be kept as low as possible, and a large installation space can be avoided.
