Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kitchen apparatus provided with a heating means, and a space in a tank for holding an object to be dried.
An air passage communicating from the outside air suction portion to the exhaust portion through the space inside the tank, a blowing means for blowing air from the suction portion toward the space inside the tank, and a flow passage between the suction portion and the space inside the tank. The present invention relates to a tableware drying apparatus provided with a heating means for heating ventilation between them.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional kitchen appliances such as tableware drying ovens, ovens and gas stoves do not have a function of heating the interior of the kitchen. Therefore, when heating a kitchen or the like, the kitchen appliances are heated separately from the kitchen appliances. I needed to attach the machine. And
Normally, in the kitchen, heating cooking etc. is performed on the countertop,
Especially in winter, only the feet, that is, only the floor surface, cools down,
It was desirable to heat only that part efficiently. Therefore, a kitchen heater for heating the vicinity of the floor surface such as a foot is commercially available, and is attached or installed in a kitchen or the like.

[0003]

However, when a kitchen heater is installed or installed separately from the above-mentioned kitchen apparatus, the cost and construction cost of the two units are high, and the kitchen is usually small. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to take up an installation space. On the other hand, for example, a method of attaching a hot air exhaust port of a dish drying apparatus to a lower portion of the apparatus and heating the room with heat discharged from the dish drying apparatus may be considered. Exhausting hot air with high humidity is not practical because problems such as condensation on the floor surface occur. A method of installing a kitchen device such as an oven and a gas range on the floor surface and using it for heating is also conceivable, but it is not practical because it has a problem such as poor usability.

The present invention has been made in view of the above point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a kitchen apparatus and a tableware which can efficiently heat a low portion such as a foot and can save space and cost. An object of the present invention is to provide a drying device.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a kitchen apparatus provided with a heating unit, wherein the heating unit is used as a heat source to heat the vicinity of the kitchen floor. The heating function is provided in addition to the original function of the kitchen device. Here, the kitchen apparatus provided with a heating means includes all apparatuses used in a kitchen and provided with a heating means. Pots, rice cookers, refrigerators and the like can be mentioned. Further, in order to heat the vicinity of the floor of the kitchen, an outlet for warm air may be provided near the floor of the kitchen device, or a conduit for heating the vicinity of the floor may be provided.

Further, the tableware drying apparatus according to the present invention for achieving the above object has a characteristic configuration in which a space inside a tank for holding a material to be dried and an exhaust portion from an outside air suction portion to an exhaust portion through the space inside the bath. A tableware drying apparatus provided with a communicating ventilation path, ventilation means for ventilating from the suction part toward the space in the tank, and heating means for heating ventilation between the suction part and the space in the tank. In, a branch ventilation path that exhausts the ventilation passing through the heating means to the outside of the apparatus without passing through the space in the tank is branched and connected to the ventilation path, and at a connection portion between the branch ventilation path and the ventilation path, Air passage switching means capable of switching between a first ventilation state in which ventilation passing through the heating means is passed through the space in the tank and a second ventilation state in which the ventilation is passed through the branch ventilation path,
An outlet for exhausting the ventilation of the branch ventilation passage to the outside of the apparatus is provided on the lower side of the apparatus. Here, the tableware drying apparatus is an apparatus having a function of drying tableware, and includes not only a tableware dryer but also a dishwasher / dryer.

In the above-mentioned tableware drying apparatus, it is preferable that the heating means is configured to change the amount of heat released between the drying operation and the heating operation, from the viewpoint of the operation and effect described later.

According to the above-mentioned feature of the kitchen apparatus of the present invention, since the heating means existing for the original function of the kitchen apparatus is also used as a heat source, the heating apparatus for the heating function is separately provided. For example, it is not necessary to provide a unit, and each unit of the apparatus can be used as appropriate to reduce the apparatus cost. And since the heating means has a large ratio in the total volume of the heater, even if the heating function is provided, the increase in the total volume does not become so large. In addition, since the vicinity of the kitchen floor can be heated, low portions such as the feet can be efficiently heated. As a result, it has been possible to provide a kitchen apparatus that can efficiently heat a low portion such as a foot and can save space and reduce costs.

Further, according to the characteristic configuration of the tableware drying apparatus of the present invention, since the branch ventilation path for exhausting the ventilation passing through the heating means to the outside of the apparatus is branched and connected to the ventilation path, the apparatus is heated by the heating means. The hot air can be guided to the branch ventilation path, and since the hot air does not pass through the space inside the tank, for example, even when a large amount of moisture exists in the space inside the tank, the hot air becomes highly humid and condenses after exhaust. There is no such problem.
In addition, a first section that allows ventilation passing through the heating means to flow through the connection space between the branch ventilation path and the ventilation path to the space in the tank.
Since the air passage switching means capable of switching between the ventilation state and the second ventilation state in which the air flows through the branch ventilation path is provided, the normal drying operation and the heating operation can be arbitrarily switched.
Furthermore, since the blow-out part for exhausting the ventilation of the branch ventilation passage to the outside of the apparatus is provided on the lower side of the apparatus, warm air can be blown toward a low part such as a foot. Further, since the heating means existing for the original function of the apparatus is also used as a heat source, it is not necessary to separately provide a heating means for a heating function. And the increase in total volume is not significant. As a result, it was possible to provide a tableware drying apparatus having a heating function capable of efficiently heating a low portion such as a foot, reducing space and cost, and causing no problem due to dew condensation.

When the heating means is configured to change the amount of heat released between the drying operation and the heating operation, the required amount of heat is usually different between the drying operation and the heating operation. By discharging an appropriate amount of heat, more preferable drying operation and heating operation can be performed.
