DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of a dishwasher according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a dishwasher in which a dish basket is housed. A washing tank 1 is formed in the main body, and a dish basket 2 described later is housed inside. The washing pump 16 is used to feed two types of nozzles, a rotating nozzle 3a installed below the tableware basket 2 and fixed nozzles 3b-1 and 3b-2 fixed to the back surface 1a as one side surface of the washing tank 1. Cleaning tank 1 for cleaning water
The tableware stored in the tableware basket 2 is washed by sucking and pumping the tableware. The washing water is jetted upward from the rotary nozzle 3a to wash the dishes stored in the basket body 4. The fixed nozzle 3b-1 is located substantially in front of the accessory case 5 accommodated in the basket body 4, and the nozzle 3b-1 is provided so that the washing water is sprayed on the dirty surface of the accessory in the accessory case 5.
One injection hole is formed. In addition, the fixed nozzle 3b-2
In order to inject the washing water to the inside dirty surface of the deep dish T stored in the shelf 7 provided at the rear upper part of the dish basket 2, the nozzle ejection holes are ejected so that the ejection spouts rightward in FIG. Has formed.

The tableware basket 2 is formed by welding steel wires, and is provided with a moving sled on both sides of the bottom (not shown), and is mounted on a door which opens from the washing tank 1 to the front of the dishwasher main body. The tableware basket 2 can be pulled out. The configuration of the tableware basket 2 includes a large plate / medium plate holding portion 2a,
A basket body 4 having a small plate holder 2b and a cup holder 2c and capable of storing a detachable accessory case 5;
And a shelf 7 attached to a back surface 4a as one side surface on the upper side of the basket body 4 above the small dish holding portion 2b and the cup holding portion 2c.

In the plan view of the car body 4 shown in FIG. 5, the division of each of the holding portions 2a to 2c and the storage portion 2d of the accessory case is shown by a dashed line. The basket main body 4 forms a large plate / medium plate holding portion 2a for receiving the large plate / medium plate D surrounded by a wire on the front side. The large plate / medium plate holding portion 2a is welded to the outer frame 4b of the cage body 4 and is connected to the horizontal wire 4d having a bent portion in the middle by the vertical wire 4d.
c is welded, and the side edge of the dish is inserted and held in a horizontally long frame 4e formed by the vertical wire 4c and the horizontal wire 4d.
Further, since the large plate / medium plate holding portion 2a is designed not to overlap with the shelf 7, a plate having a diameter exceeding the height of the shelf 7 can be stored.

Three holding portions are provided on the rear side of the large plate / medium plate holding portion 2a. A small dish holding portion 2b is formed at the rear end on the left end side of the basket main body 4 by a pair of wires 4f that are set up parallel to the depth direction of the tableware basket 2 (vertical direction in FIG. 5). In the small dish holding portion 2b, small dishes having a size of up to about 120 mm in diameter are laid down and stored side by side so that the size of the tableware basket 2 in the depth direction becomes large. A cup holder 2c is formed at the center rear of the basket body 4 by bending the wire 4g and tilting the bottom.
In the cup holder 2c, only the cup and the hot water are placed and stored in an inverted state. And the basket body 4
The storage section 2d of the accessory case 5 is formed at the rear end on the left end side. The storage section 2d of the accessory case 5 is designed not to overlap with the shelf 7.

The shelf 7 is rotatably supported by a support portion 6 welded to a back surface 4a as one side surface of the basket body 4, and is a deep dish such as a bowl or a small bowl having a standard size (about 135 mm in diameter). T is stored. The height of the shelf 7 is larger than the diameter of the small plate stored in the small plate holding portion 2b and the height of the cup stored in the cup holding portion 2c. As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating structure of the shelf 7 is such that a rotating shaft 8a of the shelf 7 is provided at a predetermined position of the support portion 6 and a rear end of the shelf 7 is fitted into the rotating shaft 8a provided on the shelf 7 by a fitting portion 8b. When the shelf 7 is rotated and opened, the shelf 7 is supported by a support 9 extending to the front end of the shelf 7 formed by extending and bending a part of the support 6.

As shown in FIG. 4, the shelf 7 is provided with two base wires 10a, 10 of the same size provided in parallel with the support portion 6, that is, in parallel with the back surface 4a which is one side surface of the tableware basket 2.
b, and a plurality of connecting wires 11 which are welded at appropriate intervals so as to bridge the two base wires 10a and 10b below the base wires 10a and 10b. Straight wires 12a and 12b extending from 8b are vertically welded. The shelf 7 has base wires 10a, 1
The frame portion 2e formed by Ob and the adjacent connecting wire 11 is used as a deep dish holder, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the frame 2e is housed so as to drop the side edge T1 of the deep dish T into the frame portion 2e. Thus, both edges 13a and 13b of the deep dish T are held by the base wires 10a and 10b, and the upper edge and the lower edge of the dish D (the bowl dish) by the connecting wire 11 on the back side of the deep dish T. Hill, etc.). By this drop-in type,
Regardless of the shape, the deep-bottom tableware T fits on the shelf 7 and
Since the space is vacant in front of the shelf 7, deep tableware T having a diameter large enough to protrude from the front end of the shelf 7 can be stored. Further, the shape of the deep-bottom tableware T that can be stored is not specified by setting the shape of the shelf 7 to a flat shape without protruding pins. Therefore, the deep tableware T is held in such a manner that the side edge T1 is inserted into the frame portion 2e of the shelf 7 and is arranged side by side along the back surface 4a of the tableware basket 2, so that various deep bottom dishes T are held. The tableware T can be stored compactly and stably. And deep-bottom tableware T
Although the edges 13a and 13b are held by the base wires 10a and 10b, the bottom of the deep dish T is not held by the wire, so that the deep dish T having various diameters can be stably held.

Next, details of the shape of the connecting wire 11 will be described. By bending the connecting wire 11 in accordance with the curved shape of the side surface of the deep-bottom tableware T such as a bowl to be stored,
The fitting of the deep bottom tableware T to be stored was improved. In addition, several different intervals are provided between the adjacent connecting wires 11 so as to be properly used according to the size and shape of the deep-bottom tableware T to be stored. That is, in FIG. 4, the left side of the shelf 7 has a large space L1 of 41 mm and the frame portion 2 e is large to accommodate the deep-bottomed tableware T having a large side swelling, and the right side of the shelf 7 has a small space L2 of 33 mm and the frame portion 2 e has a large space. The tableware T is made small to accommodate the deep-bottom tableware T having a small bulge on the side. Thereby, if the large deep-bottomed tableware T is accommodated in the frame portion 2e with a large space, the height when storing the tableware can be suppressed.

Further, as shown in FIG.
Of base wire 14 with respect to welding position 14a to base wire 10a
By shifting the welding position 14b to the right in the drawing, the connecting member 11 is inclined with respect to the front-rear direction of the basket, and when the deep dish T is accommodated in the shelf 7, the inner surface of the deep dish T The car body 4 was turned to the rear direction. That is, when the basket body 4 is stored in the cleaning tank 1, the fixed nozzle 3b-
Tableware basket 2 parallel to rear wall 1a of washing tank 1 in which washing tank 2 is arranged
By tilting the connecting member 11 with respect to the back surface of the tableware, the deep dish T
The opening of is facing. If the connecting member 11 is parallel to the basket longitudinal direction, the deep dishes T are arranged in parallel to the basket longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. The gap K between dishes for aiming at the surface by the injection of the fixed nozzle 3b-2 depends on the shape of the deep dish T. That is, in the case of tableware having a deep drop like the deep-bottom tableware T2 in FIG. 6A, the gap K is hardly obtained, and the jet water from the fixed nozzle 3b-2 is not sufficiently supplied to the tableware dirty surface. Further, depending on the shape of the vicinity of the entrance of the deep-bottom tableware T, the tableware-stained surface area N which is a blind spot with respect to the injection of the fixed nozzle 3b-2 may be formed, which is a factor of reducing the cleaning performance. However, in the present invention, by inclining the connecting member 11 with respect to the front-rear direction of the basket, the gap K between the dishes can be sufficiently obtained as shown in FIG. 6B, and the jet water from the fixed nozzle 3b-2 can be obtained. Is not only reliably supplied to the inner dirty surface of the deep-bottom tableware T, but also because the gap K between the tableware is formed to face the jet water from the fixed nozzle 3b-2, There is no need to worry about the formation of the region N, and the washing performance of tableware is improved.

The connecting wire 11 is connected to the base wires 10a, 10a.
If it is welded to the upper side of the base wire 10a, the deep-bottom tableware T will catch on the connecting wire 11 first during storage.
b, there is a possibility that the holding at both ends of the deep-bottom tableware T may not be reliable, but as in the present embodiment, the base wire 10
Since the connecting wire 11 is welded to the lower portions of the a and 10b, the deep-bottom tableware T is securely held by the base wire. Also,
Since the shelf 7 does not have a projection protruding from the upper surface and has a flat upper surface, in addition to the above-described holding method of dropping the tableware, it is also possible to place the tableware on the shelf 7 face down as necessary.

Next, a modification of the above embodiment will be described. The height of the installation position of the shelf 7 is determined by the support portion 9 at the front end of the shelf 7 and the rotating shaft 8a that supports the rear end of the shelf 7.
The heights of a and 12b are set so that 12a is higher than 12b, and the shelf 7 is inclined. As a result, the stored deep-bottom tableware T naturally leans forward, and the washing water sprayed from the fixed nozzles 3a-1, 2 on the back surface 1a of the washing tank 1 hits the tableware stored on the shelf 7. Since the water drops into the basket main body 4, there is an advantage that water does not accumulate in the deep-bottom tableware, the washing performance is improved, and the dishes stored in the basket main body 4 can be washed.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Instead of providing the fixed nozzle 3b and the shelf 7 of the tableware basket 2 on the back side of the washing tank 1, the present invention is applied to the left side of the washing tank 1. Or on the right side. In short, the fixed nozzle 3b and the shelf 7 are placed on the same side of the washing tank 1 so that the jet of the washing water from the fixed nozzle 3b reaches the deep bottom dish T of the shelf 7 without being disturbed by other dishes or baskets. It just needs to be provided close to it.
