Description

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

Structure of the conventional example and its problems As shown in FIG. Place it on. 1i106, heating heater 10
1 is generally supplied with power by operating a clockwork or electric motor type timer 106. As shown in FIG. 6, power is continuously supplied to the heater 101 from time To when the timer 106 is operated to time τ1 when the timer 106 is operated, and T1 when set.
After that, you can either turn off the power supply or set the timer 106 continuously to continue supplying power to the heater 101. However, when setting the power supply to the heater 101, The dried dishes that have just been cut into pieces are warm, but
As time passes, the temperature of the tableware returns to normal temperature, so especially in winter, it is difficult to eat using cold tableware, and hot soups and stews can cool down quickly because the tableware is cold. Fell. Meanwhile timer 1
If you set 06 continuously, power will continue to be supplied to the heating heater, so the dishes will always be warm even if they are dry.Even when eating, the dishes will be warm and soup will not cool down easily, but the Since the power supply is continuous, the amount of power consumed increases, resulting in a waste of electricity.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to overcome these conventional drawbacks, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a dish dryer that can reduce power consumption and keep dishes warm during meals.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve this object, the dish dryer of the present invention incorporates a control circuit in the power supply circuit to the heater built into the main body case, and controls the start time and duration of energization to the heater. Since it is possible to dry the tableware by supplying power before a meal, the tableware can be warmed during one meal by using the power consumed for drying.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the figure, the basic configuration of the dish dryer is the same as the conventional example, but 1 is a main body case with a heater inside, and a heat sink 3 and dishes are placed on top of the heater 2. A tableware container 4 for placing the tableware is provided, and a lid 6 is placed on the top. The heater 2 is controlled by a silicon commutator 7 (SCR) and a control circuit 8 provided in the power supply control board e, and its control status is displayed by an indicator light 9. The control circuit 10 is controlled by a selection switch 10. The control time changes.

In the above configuration, the washed dishes are stored in the tableware compartment 4,
Place the lid 6.

Next, by operating the selection switch 1o provided on the front of the main body 1, the time T to start energizing the heating heater 2 is determined.
When the energization time T2 is set, the control circuit 8 outputs a signal to the 5CRT at time T1.

The heating heater 2 is energized for a time T2. Here, the indicator light 9 lights up for a set time in accordance with the operation of the selection switch. The energized heating heater 2 generates heat and heats the air, and also uniformly heats the heat sink 3, so that the tableware stored in the tableware function 4 is uniformly heated as shown by the dotted line arrow, and the surface of each tableware is heated. The attached water droplets are dried, and after drying, the humid hot air is discharged from the exhaust hole on the top surface of the lid 5.

By operating the selection switch 10 to select the time from when the washed dishes are stored in the dishwasher until the next meal, power supply to the heater is started before one meal to dry the dishes, It becomes possible to keep tableware warm at the time of meal. Also.

Since the heating time does not need to be very long, power consumption can be reduced.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the start time and duration of energization to the heating heater can be controlled by the control circuit of the power supply circuit that applies the power to the heating heater. When you have a meal, the drying process will finish just right, allowing you to use one dish warm and preventing soups and other items from getting cold.
