BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dishwasher for washing dishes with an elastic rotating tool that rotates electrically.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art
Washing of tableware is performed by hand washing using a washing tool such as a sponge or by a box-type automatic dishwasher. Hand washing can not remove the brown astringency or scale remaining in the bottom corner of the cup or the bottom of the cut pattern if it is not carefully washed.

[0003] Automatic dishwashers with a built-in system kickin are large and expensive. Although the main unit price is not so high for small items that are used on a sink, etc., the cost of piping equipment such as hot water piping and drainage pipes is expensive, and there are cases where installation is not possible due to space problems and piping problems. Not a few. In addition, the automatic dishwasher is uneconomical because the time required for washing and the amount of hot water used are the same regardless of whether the number of dishes to be washed is large or small.

[0004] Further, the automatic dishwasher cannot wash the heavily soiled portion of the dish or the portion where the rice grains and the like are stubbornly adhered, so that the unwashed portion sometimes occurs. The present invention is a time according to the amount to wash the dishes,
The present invention relates to a washing machine that can be easily and neatly washed.

[0005]

The cleaning device according to the present invention comprises a plurality of shafts (45) parallel to each other and elastic cleaning tools (5) such as a sponge body (51) and a brush body so as to contact each other. (45) is connected to the common motor (2) via the gear transmission means (4) so that the adjacent elastic cleaning tools (5) rotate in opposite directions to each other, and is fixed at the cleaning position (9). ).

[0006]

When the cup (6) is inserted into one of the rotating elastic cleaning tools (5), the inner surface of the cup (6) is cleaned by the elastic cleaning tool (5), and the adjacent elastic cleaning tools (5) are cleaned. 5) cleans the outer surface of the cup. The surface of the cup (6) is rubbed directly with a rotating elastic cleaning tool to remove dirt, so it can be washed more cleanly than hand washing or washing with a hot water jet of an automatic dishwasher, especially stubborn. Demonstrates its power to remove dirt. In addition, the dishes can be easily washed only by grasping the dishes with one hand and touching the rotating elastic washing tool (5), so that the dishes can be washed hygienically by an elderly person or a disabled person.

Further, since the elastic cleaning tools (5) and (5) for cleaning the inner surface and the outer surface of the cup (6) rotate in opposite directions to each other, they act on the cup (6) by friction with the elastic cleaning tool (5). The rotating force is canceled between the inside and the outside, and the glass (6) does not rotate on its own. By turning the cup (6) by hand, the entire cup can be cleaned neatly.

[0008] If the dirty portion is in contact with the elastic cleaning tool (5) at the position where the dirty portion comes into contact with the elastic cleaning tool (5), the portion can be mainly washed and the unwashed portion can be prevented. Small plates, kitchen knives, chopsticks and the like may be washed by passing them between the elastic washing tools (5).

The platter is washed by fitting the elastic cleaning tool (5) between the elastic cleaning tools (5) and (5) until the tip of the elastic cleaning tool (5) slightly exceeds the center of the dish, and rotating the dish in a fixed position. Good. The time required for washing is almost proportional to the number of dishes to be washed. Therefore, if the number of dishes is small, the work can be completed in a short time, which is reasonable.
