Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention relates to a tableware basket for a dishwasher that is improved so that the upper space of small tableware in the dishwasher can be effectively utilized.

(B) Prior art In conventional dishwashers, tableware is placed in a dish tray having a pair of V-shaped notches.
Washing has been carried out by holding the cells one by one and arranging them in a single stage. When the tableware is small and it is desired to effectively utilize the space created above the tableware basket, an auxiliary tableware basket is attached to the top of the tableware basket and the tableware is arranged on top of the auxiliary tableware basket.

However, in the configuration using the auxiliary tableware basket as described above, it is troublesome to attach and detach the auxiliary tableware basket, which requires time and effort to handle, and there are also disadvantages in that it requires space to store the removed auxiliary tableware basket when not in use.

(c) Purpose This invention was made in view of these circumstances, and one of its main purposes is to create an improved system that allows tableware to be arranged in two stages without using an auxiliary tableware basket. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tableware basket for a dishwasher.

(d) Structure of the invention This invention is a tableware basket made of plastic etc. by integral molding, which has at least one pair of V.
A dishwashing device in which a required number of partition walls that hold plate holder pieces having letter-shaped notches are provided with protrusions for holding pots, etc. that protrude upward from the tableware, and a cutout extending upward is provided at the bottom of each partition wall. It is a machine tableware basket.

(e) Embodiments This invention will be described in detail below based on the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 5. Note that this invention is not limited to this.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a dishwasher 1 equipped with a dishwasher basket 2 according to this invention, and shows a washing tank 3.
is provided with a cleaning nozzle 6 inserted into a nozzle bearing 5 at the center of the bottom wall 4, and a filter 8 mounted in a recessed hole 7 at the periphery, and a space 9 below the bottom wall 4. , motor 1 via transmission means 10, 11
A circulation pump 13 and a drainage pump 14 driven by the pump 2 are housed. The suction pipe 15 of the circulation pump 13 is connected to the side wall of the recessed hole 7, the discharge pipe 16 is connected to the nozzle bearing 5 in the cleaning tank 3, and the suction pipe 17 of the drainage pump 14 is connected to the bottom wall of the recessed hole 7. , are led to the outside from the lower space 9 by a discharge pipe (not shown).

The outer frame 2a of the tableware basket 2 is placed above the washing nozzle 6 by means of a support 18 provided on the inner wall of the washing tank 3. A plate receiving piece 20 having at least one pair of V-shaped notches 21 is attached to hold tableware 22 such as a plate or a tea bowl. Second
The figure shows a case where one partition wall 19 is provided with two pairs of plate receiving pieces 20, and each of the required number of partition walls 19 provided with one pair of plate receiving pieces 20 has a pot that protrudes above the tableware 22. one or more protrusions 2 holding 23;
4, and a notch 25 facing upward is provided at the center of the lower part between the plate receiving pieces 20. The protrusions 24 of adjacent partition walls 19 are formed at corresponding positions to hold the pots 23 in a stable state. Reference numeral 26 denotes handles provided on the left and right side walls of the tableware basket 2, which facilitate the attachment and detachment of the tableware basket 2 from the washing tank 3. The upper part of the tableware basket 2 is sealed by a top lid 27 with a handle 28 attached to the washing tank 3.

In the apparatus configured as described above, each pair of plate holder pieces 20 on the right side of FIGS. 2 and 3 holds a large plate, and each pair of plate holder pieces 20 on the left side holds a small plate, and the adjacent Two protrusions 24 of partition wall 19
By holding the tops 23 facing downward, the empty upper space of the tableware basket 2 can be used to arrange the tableware 22 and tops 23 in two tiers, one above the other, without using an auxiliary tableware basket. . When using this tableware basket 2, compared to the case of using an auxiliary tableware basket that is troublesome to put on and take off, not only is it much easier to put in and take out the tableware 22 and small items 23, but also large and small tableware 22 can be stored in the tableware basket 2 at the same time. Even in the closed state, the empty upper space can be used effectively.

In addition, since the pressure jet water from the rotating cleaning nozzle 6 can penetrate upward through the notch 25 provided at the center of the lower part of the partition wall 19, the plate held by the plate receiving piece 20 of the partition wall 19 can be Not only the tableware 22 such as tea bowls and tea bowls, but also the cups 23 held by the protrusion 24 on the upper part of the partition wall 19 can be thoroughly cleaned.

4 and 5 show another embodiment of this invention, in which the handle 26, which was integrally molded on the side wall of the tableware basket 2 in the previous embodiment, has a middle part 26a of a constant width and a handle 26 at both upper and lower ends thereof. Horizontal locking protrusion 26
This is a case in which handles b and 26c are replaced with a formed handle 26A, and the intermediate portion 26a of the handle 26A is slidably attached to the tableware basket 2 using a stopper 29.

When the handle 26A is configured as described above, the handle 26A normally has the upper locking protrusion 26b and the stopper 29.
In order to prevent the upper lid 27 from protruding above the tableware basket 2 in the lowered position held by the tableware basket 2, the handle 2
It is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that 6A comes into contact with the inner surface of the upper lid 27. Moreover, when attaching or detaching the tableware basket 2, by sliding the handle 26A upward and locking the lower locking protrusion 26c to the stopper 29,
The handle 26A can be easily held by making the grip portion sufficiently protrude above the tableware basket 2, so that attachment and detachment operations can be easily performed.

(f) Effects of the device This device forms a protrusion at the top of the partition that holds the plate holder piece, and also provides a notch at the center of the bottom of the partition. Even if the space is used effectively and tableware, pots, etc. are arranged in two tiers, handling is convenient and the cleaning effect can be sufficiently enhanced.
