Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dish dryer for drying dishes with hot air.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, this type of dish dryer has been constructed as shown in FIG.

In the figure, 101 is a main body case in which a heater 102, a heat sink 103, and a tableware basket 104 are provided in order from the bottom, and a lid 105 is installed at the opening on the top surface. Power is generally supplied to the heater 102 by operating a clockwork or electric motor timer 106, and as shown in FIG.

The power supply to the heater 102 was continued until the set time T1 of the timer 106, and the power supply was stopped after the set time T1. Further, the timer 106 was set continuously to continue supplying power to the heater 102.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, the tableware is warm after the power supply to the heater 102 is stopped after the set time T1 of the timer 106, but the temperature of the tableware decreases to room temperature as time passes. Back to the original, especially in the winter and in cold regions, it is important to use cold tableware to eat meals, and hot soups and stews cool down quickly when placed in containers because the tableware is cold.Go to 3-7 Something happened. In addition, if the timer 106 is set continuously, the power supply to the heater 102 is continued.
The tableware is always warm even after drying, and hot tableware can be used even when eating, so soup and the like do not cool down easily, but power consumption is increased because power is supplied to the heater 102 more than necessary. , there were problems such as a waste of electricity.

The present invention solves these problems, and aims to provide a dish dryer that can always use hot dishes at any meal time and that consumes less power.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a power supply circuit having a first heating heater and a second heating heater. The power supply to the second heating heater is cut off, power is supplied only to the first heating heater, and after a set time has passed, the first heating heater and the second heating heater are connected in series. It is equipped with a timer such as a switching timer connected to the

Effect: With this configuration, if you set the desired time for the dishes to finish drying in the timer, after the dishes have been dried and the set time has elapsed, the first heating heater and the second heating heater will turn on. The tableware is heated by connecting the heater in series.

As a result, the tableware can be kept warm until mealtime with less power consumption due to the sum of resistances due to the series connection of the first heater and the second heater.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the figure, 1 has a box-like shape that has a first heater 2 and a second heater 3 inside, and a heat dissipation plate 4 and a tableware basket 6 are arranged in this order above the heater 2.3. A lid 7 having an exhaust hole 6 is provided at the top opening of the main body case 1. In addition, when configured with a switching timer or the like, a five-van limiter 8 is provided in the power supply circuit of the first heater 2 and the second heater 3, and can be switched between contact a and contact The power supply to the second heating heater 3 is cut off while the set time elapses, and the circuit supplies power only to the first heating heater 2. After the set time elapses, the power supply to the second heating heater 3 is cut off. Power is supplied by connecting the heater 2 and the second heater 3 in series.

Further, numeral 9 is a cup serving as a water receptacle provided at the bottom of the main case 1, and 1o is an energization indicator lamp provided on the outer surface of the main case 1.

Next, the operation of this configuration will be explained.

After storing the washed tableware in the tableware basket 5 and placing the lid 7 on it, the user operates the timer 8 to turn on the energization indicator lamp 1o and turn on the energization indicator lamp 1o. The timer 8 serves as a contact point a so that power is supplied only to the heater 2 in the heater 1, so that only the heater 2 generates heat, heating the air and uniformly heating the heat sink 4, which improves tableware performance. The water droplets adhering to the surface of the tableware in 6 are vaporized and dried. After drying, remove the hot, humid air from the lid 7.
The air is discharged from an exhaust hole 6 provided on the top surface.

Further, water dripping from the tableware flows down the surface of the heat sink 4 and is collected in a cup 9 in a water receptacle provided in the main body case 1.

Here, the timer 8 operates as follows.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the timer 8 is operated, T0
During the arbitrarily set time (time until the washed dishes finish drying) 71''!, the timer 8 switches the contact point a to supply power only to the first heater 2. After the arbitrarily set time T1, the timer 8 switches to the contact point and connects the first heater 2 and the second heater 3 in series. It becomes a circuit that does.

After storing the washed dishes in the dish basket 6 until the next meal, it is possible to dry the dishes and keep them warm, and after time T1, the power supply is switched to the first heating mode. Since the heater and the second heating heater are connected in a series circuit, the power consumption can be reduced by 7, so power can be surely saved.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a timer is provided in the power supply circuit having the first heater and the second heater, and the operation of the timer causes the first heater and the second heater to turn on. Since the power supply to the heating heater is controlled by the controller, it is possible to keep the dishes warm after drying them during meals that require warm dishes, and the dishes can be used warm at any time. You can make things like soup difficult to cool down. Additionally, after drying, the resistance value of the heater increases, resulting in a significant effect of requiring less power consumption.
