Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to the improvement of a dish dryer, and in particular, improves the heater storage box in which the heater is housed to enable efficient drying.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a dish dryer body, which includes a dryer body 3 made of synthetic resin and having a handle 2 on the upper side wall, and a dryer body 3 which is disposed in and out of the dryer body 3 at will. The tableware container 4 is composed of a tableware container 4 having an open top surface, and a lid body 5 that covers the top opening of the tableware container 4.

In addition, an outside air suction port 6, a hot air suction lower part, and a hot air discharge port 8 are formed on the bottom surface of the dryer main body 3, the bottom surface of the tableware compartment 4, and the top surface of the lid body 5, respectively.

Below the tableware container 4, a metal heat radiating plate 9 having a drainage port (not shown) is fixed to a boss portion 10 integrally formed at the bottom of the dryer main body 3.

Reference numeral 11 denotes the earth plate which also serves as the heat sink mounting.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a heater storage box disposed on the bottom surface of the dryer main body 3, which has a box-like shape with an open top surface.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a front notch piece which is cut out from the front part of the bottom of the heater storage box 12 and raised upwards.Protrusions are integrally formed on both side walls of the front notch piece 13 to form a front heater support part 14.14. They mutually form an insertion opening 15.

16 is a front notch opening after cutting out the front notch piece 13.

17... are side cut pieces that are cut out at appropriate intervals on both sides of the bottom surface of the heater storage box 12 and are raised upward, and further, both sides of the side cutout pieces 17 are bent. This bent portion forms a U-shaped side heater support portion 18.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a side notch opening after the side notch piece 17 is cut out.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a rear cutout piece which is raised by cutting out the rear part of the bottom surface of the heater storage box 12, and a rear heater support part 21 serving as an insertion protrusion is integrally formed on the upper end wall of the cutout piece 20.

22 is a rear notch opening after the rear notch piece 20 is cut out.

Reference numeral 23 denotes a heat shield plate placed on the bottom surface of the heater storage box 12 so as to be sandwiched between the front cutout piece 13, the side cutout piece 17, and the rear cutout piece 20.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a plate-shaped insulator for holding the heater wire 25, with fitting protrusions 26 formed on both ends thereof, and lower portions of both sides inserted into and engaged with the side heater support portions 18 of the side cutout pieces 17. A plurality of insulators 24 are erected at appropriate intervals on the bottom surface of the heater storage box 12 to hold the heater wires 25.

Reference numeral 27 denotes a fitting for fixing the end portion 28 of the heater wire 25 to the insulator 24.

29 is a U-shaped protective frame, with upper and lower bent pieces 30 on the upper and lower edges.
．． 31 is integrally formed, an L-shaped cut groove 32 corresponding to the fitting protrusion 26 of the insulator 24 is formed over the flat bent piece 31 and the main body part 29', and the above-mentioned groove 32 is formed at the tip of the main body part 29'. An insertion hole 33 for inserting the front heater support part 14.14 is bored, and a retaining hole (not shown) for inserting the rear heater support part 21 is bored in the rear part of the flat bent piece 31. are doing.

Then, the lower ends of both sides of the insulators 24 are inserted and fitted into the side heater support parts 18 of the side cutout pieces 17, and the heater wires 25 are attached to these insulators 24. At this time, the mounting fittings 27 are inserted into the insertion openings 15. After positioning, cut groove 3 of protective frame 29
2 into the fitting protrusion 26, insert and engage the engagement hole (not shown) into the rear heater support part 21, and insert the insertion hole 33.3 into the front heater support part 14.14 of the front cutout piece 13.
3 and insert the front heater support part 14 as shown in FIG.
．． 14 is bent to prevent the protection frame 29 from being removed.

Therefore, according to this configuration, the outside air sucked in from the outside air suction port 6 easily passes through the front, side, and rear cutout openings 16° 19.22 formed on the bottom surface of the heater storage box 12, and flows into the heater. The outside air exchanges heat with the wire 25, becomes hot air, rises from the gap A formed between the outer circumferential edge of the heat sink 9 and the inner circumferential edge of the dryer main body 3, and dries the tableware in the tableware chamber 4. It is something.

Note that 34 is a time switch that controls the supply of electricity to the heater wire 25.

As described above, the present invention is a dryer in which a heat sink is disposed below the tableware container which can be freely accessed and removed from the main body of the dryer, and a heater storage box with an open top surface is disposed below the heat dissipation plate.
A suitable part of the bottom of the heater storage box is cut out, the cutout piece is raised upward, a cutout opening is formed in the bottom face, and a heater support part for supporting the heater is integrally formed in the cutout piece. Since the heater storage box is made from a metal material, the notch opening for outside air circulation and the notch piece for supporting the heater can be formed at the same time by simply cutting out the bottom of the heater storage box and lifting it upwards, which simplifies the manufacturing process and allows the heater to be easily removed. The installation work is extremely simple, and the notch opening allows for efficient drying.
