Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a natural convection type dish dryer, etc., by attaching a planar heating element to the back of the heating plate to make the surface temperature of the heating plate uniform, thereby drying the dishes efficiently and increasing the storage capacity of the dishes. The purpose is to use it effectively.

The conventional natural convection dish dryer, as shown in Figure 1,
A heater box 1o3 for housing a heating element 102 was provided at the bottom of the main body 1o1 of the dish dryer, and a hot plate 104 was provided above the heater box 1o3. There is a drainer basket 106 on the top of the hot plate 104 that stores the tableware 105.
In order to receive water droplets 107 dripping from 5 and to allow the water to flow to one place, the center part is concave and the front surface is sloped, as shown in FIG. Conventionally, a coil heater, a quartz tube heater, a mica heater, etc. are used as the heating element 102, and all of them are located in the space (tch) approximately at the center of the hot plate 104. Therefore, the hot air 10B from the heating element 102 is the hot plate 104
-F rises near the center of the heating plate, and the hot air rises along the slope of the heating plate, so the temperature on the heating plate surface is highest right above the heating element 102, and heat is difficult to reach the edges, especially the front part where water flows. Conventional natural convection dish dryers have the disadvantage of drying the dishes at the front and causing unevenness, and it also requires a certain amount of space to store the heating element, which reduces the space available for storing the dishes. There is.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and embodiments thereof will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.

In Figures 3 and 4, the water receiver is placed in the cup 2. Power “on” and “off” switch 3. Lid 4'f on top:
5 is a heating plate built into the main body 1; 6 is a heating element attached to the back side of the heating plate 6; 7 is a heating plate 6;
It is an automatic temperature controller installed in the

FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the heating element 6, in which 8 is a metal foil heating element, 9 is a heat-resistant insulating material, and the metal foil heating element 8 is sandwiched between the heat-resistant insulating material 9.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment for making the surface temperature of the hot plate 5 uniform, and this pattern needs to be changed depending on the thickness of the hot plate 6, the slope of the central section, and the cooling condition. In the figure, 10 is an exhaust port attached to the top surface of the lid 40, 11 is an intake port provided at the bottom of the main body 1, 12 is a tableware, 13 is a water droplet attached to the tableware, and 14 is a drainer basket in which the tableware 12 is placed. be.

In the above configuration, the washed tableware 12 is placed in the draining basket 14.
When placed in the cup 2, the water dripping from the tableware 12 transmits heat through the concave portion of the plate 6, and the water reservoir collects in the cup 2. After putting on the lid 4, set the power ``on'' and ``off'' switch 3 to d.
The heating element 6 is energized to heat the hot plate 6. The water receiver does not flow into the cup 2, but the water droplets remaining on the hot plate 6 are discharged. The surface temperature of the hot plate 5 is uniformly heated by the heating element 6, and when it reaches a certain temperature, the automatic temperature controller 7 operates to control the surface temperature of the hot plate 6, and the hot rays are uniformly heated from the surface of the hot plate 6. is emitted, and the tableware 12 is uniformly dried from the bottom regardless of the front and rear positions of the drainer basket 14. Therefore, compared to the conventional method, there is less unevenness in drying and the overall drying time can be shortened. Furthermore, since the heating element e is attached to the heating plate, the heating part becomes thinner and the tableware storage capacity increases accordingly.

As described above, according to the present invention, by making the surface temperature of the hot plate uniform, it is possible to obtain an excellent dish dryer that can reduce uneven drying inside the dish drying chamber, shorten the drying time, and enlarge the inside of the drying chamber. It is effective.
