Description

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

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, this type of dish dryer has a structure as shown in FIG. That is, a motor 1 is installed in the inner bottom of the main body 7, a blade 2 that is arranged below the motor 1 and rotated by the motor 1, and a heater 4 that receives air from the blade 2 are installed inside and are blown onto the top. Casing 3 with outlet 3ai
A hot air generator is installed. And this air outlet 3a.

A plate 5 is arranged around the water tray to catch water droplets dripping from the dishes after washing, and a water plate 5 is placed above the outlet 3a to prevent water from entering the water tray with a gap between the plate 6 and the periphery. A plate 6 is provided. A colander 8 and a lid 9 were stacked on top of the main body 7 to house washed dishes, and warm air was passed through them as shown by the arrow to dry the dishes.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, since the vertical dimensions of the motor 1 and the blade portion 2 are large, the water receiver is limited to the height of the plate 5 from the floor and the side height of the main body 7. There was a problem in that the area around the colander 8 became high, making it inconvenient to put in and take out dishes.

The present invention takes these problems into consideration and aims to provide a dish dryer that allows easy loading and unloading of dishes by reducing the height of the main body.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a hot air generating device consisting of a motor, a blade, a heater, and a casing at the bottom of the main body, and a water source above the hot air generating device. The receiver is constructed by sequentially arranging a plate, a drain basket, and a lid. The blades and the motor in the wind generator are arranged vertically, the engagement bosses of the blades are extended upwards on the opposite side of the motor, and the motor shaft is inserted into the engagement bosses to connect them, and the water receiver is connected to the plate. The dish dryer has a structure in which a portion corresponding to the mating boss (a rib with a concave groove on the lower surface that allows insertion of the upper part of the mating boss) is formed. Even if the motor shaft and the blade are placed close to the motor side, the joint between the motor shaft and the blade can be secured by protruding toward the opposite side of the motor.Also, the protruding joint part of the blade and the water receiver can be secured in order to ensure a gap between the blade and the back surface of the plate. By forming concave ribs on the plate of the water receptacle in that area, the strength of the flat water receptacle will be increased.

Embodiment 0 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In the figure, 11 is a case-like main body with a relatively shallow bottom, and a motor 12, blades 13. Casing 14. A hot air generating device consisting of a heater 16° and a motor fixing plate 16 is provided, and a water receiving plate 17 is provided above it. Further, a draining basket 18 and a lid 19 are combined on the upper part of the main body 11. The main body 11 has legs on the lower surface and a recess 1 for accommodating the motor 12.
1a. In addition, the casing 14 has the water receiver integrated on the back surface of the plate 17, the blades 13, and the motor fixing plate 1.
6. The motors 12 are each arranged vertically. The water receiving plate 17 has a rising side wall at one end that corresponds to the side wall of the main body 11 with a gap, and the rising side wall is formed with an outlet 17a of the hot air generator, and the hot air blown out from the outlet 17a is formed in the rising side wall. The wind flows into the water tray plate 17 and the draining basket 18 above it. The blades 13 in the hot air generator are formed thinly, and the mating bosses 21 of the blades 13 and the motor shaft 20 are formed to prevent rotational vibration.
The mating length is sufficient. In order to ensure sufficient engagement, the engagement bosses 21 of the blades 13 are made to protrude away from the motor. In addition, in order to secure a gap between the back surface of the plate 17 and the mating boss 21, the water tray has a plurality of concave ribs 22 formed on the plate 17, and at least one of the ribs 22 is formed on the plate 17. It is located above the mating boss 21.

In the dish dryer having the above configuration, the hot air generator has an air outlet 17a, a water receptacle is formed on the upright side wall of one end of the plate 17, and the water receptacle is blown out between the plate 17 and the draining basket 18 above it. Warm air flows as shown and dries the dishes.

Here, since the water receptacle of the air outlet 17a is formed on the upright side wall of one end of the plate 17, there is no need for a water prevention plate unlike the conventional example, and the water receptacle is formed by the plate 17 and the draining basket 18. bring it close,
In other words, this contributes to lowering the height of the main body 11. In addition, the plate 17 of the water receiver also serves as the top plate of the casing of the hot air generator, and the ribs 22 reinforce the water receiver plate 17.
1 and absorbs the length of the engagement boss 21 of the blade 13. Since the fitting between the engagement boss of the blade 13 and the motor shaft 20 can be made long, the blade 13 can be made thinner, and from this point of view, the height of the hot air generator can be reduced, and the height of the main body 11 can be reduced. This contributes to lowering the height. In addition, since a recess 11a is formed in the bottom of the main body 11 with legs so that the motor 12 of the hot air generator can be accommodated, the height of the main body 11 can be reduced from this point as well.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, according to the present invention, it is possible to make the hot air generator made of blades, motor, etc. thinner, and the main body that houses them can also be made thinner. The height of tableware storage from the floor is lower than before, and the draining capacity is lower, making it easier to put in and take out tableware.
