Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention relates to a dishwasher, and particularly relates to an improvement of a rail member for mounting a dishwasher basket therein.

(b) Prior Art FIG. 5 shows a partial configuration of the inside of a washing tank a of a conventional dishwasher, where b is a nozzle and c is a dish basket. The tableware basket c is secured by a plastic rail member e attached to the inner surface of the washing tank wall d. (A similar thing is disclosed in Utility Model Publication No. 54-10232.) In the above configuration, the portion A above the rail member e on the inner surface of the cleaning tank wall d is
Washing water and rinsing water from nozzle b pass between the dishes and bounce off the dishes to be washed, but the portion B below the rail member e is washed from above by the rail member e against the washing tank wall. d Since the washing water and rinsing water that travels along the inner surface is blocked, the airborne dirt remains. This dirt hardens as it dries, and it takes a lot of effort to wash it off by hand, and the remaining dirt causes foul odors and unsanitary conditions.

(c) Purpose of the invention This invention was created in view of the above circumstances.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a dishwasher in which washing water and rinsing water flow down to areas located below the rail member on the inner surface of the washing tank wall, and the washing tank is always kept in a clean state. be.

(d) Structure of the device In this device, a rail member provided with openings for the passage of washing water and rinsing water is used. In a dishwasher having a structure in which a dish basket is provided with both sides locked to rail members attached so as to face the inner surface of the washing tank wall, the rail member is provided with a dish basket in a vertical direction along the longitudinal direction. This dishwasher is characterized by being provided with openings for passage of washing water and rinsing water that communicate with the dishwasher.

(e) Examples Examples of this invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings, but this invention is not limited to the following examples.

First, FIG. 1 shows the overall structure of a dishwasher.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an equipment case. A cleaning tank 2 is installed in the upper front part of the equipment case 1, and a door 3 that can be opened by pulling forward is installed on the front of the cleaning tank 2.
A nozzle 4 is provided at the lower part of the cleaning tank 2, and 5 is a circulation pump that operates the nozzle 4. A filter member 6 is attached to a recess at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2, and a sheathed heater 7 is attached approximately to the side of the nozzle 4. 8 is a drainage pump, and 9 is a fan for blowing air during drying.

In the above configuration, when the cleaning water and rinsing water stored at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2 and heated by the sheathed heater 7 are supplied under pressure to the nozzle 4 by the circulation pump 5, the nozzle 4 rotates and sprays washing water and rinsing water onto the dishes in the washing tank 2. The drainage pump 8 is operated to drain water, and the ventilation fan 9 blows air to a position facing the sheathed heater 7, thereby drying with hot air.

The rail member 10, which is a characteristic configuration of this invention, will be further explained below.

The rail member 10 is a molded plastic product as shown in FIG. 2, and has a vertical part 11 and a horizontal part 12.
The end face is L-shaped. Further, an opening 13 for passage of washing water and rinsing water is provided in a continuous cutout state on the outer surface of the vertical portion 11. That is, the passage opening 13 is the rail member 10
It is provided so as to communicate in the vertical direction along the longitudinal direction. The part of the outer surface of the vertical part 11 of the rail member 10 where the passage opening 13 is not provided becomes the attachment surface 14 to the inner surface of the wall of the cleaning tank 2, and the rail member 10 is attached to the cleaning tank 2 using adhesive, screws, etc. Attached to opposing positions on the inner surface of the wall.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the rail member 10 is attached, and the tableware basket 15 is provided with both sides thereof being locked onto the horizontal portion 12 of the rail member 10.

Now, when the washing water or rinsing water from the nozzle 4 is splashed on the inner surface of the washing tank 2 at a position above the rail member 10, because the opening 13 is provided, the washing water or rinsing water is directed to the rail member as shown by the arrow. The water flows down to the inner surface of the wall of the cleaning tank 2 at a position below 10, and dirt is washed away at that time.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the rail member 10, in which openings 13 for passage of washing water and rinsing water are provided as elongated holes.

The rail members 10 in the above embodiments are both molded plastics, but of course they may also be made of metal, in which case the openings 13 may be provided by punching with a press. Furthermore, the rail member 10 may have rollers attached thereto.

Further, although the opening 13 is provided along the longitudinal direction of the rail member 10, it does not necessarily have to be continuous for a long time. However, in order for the water on the upper part of the rail member 10 to sufficiently flow down to the lower part, it is preferable that the water is continuous for a long time.

(f) Effects of the invention This invention is structured as described above, so
The inner surface of the wall of the cleaning tank below the position where the rail member is provided is also constantly washed away, so that the entire cleaning tank is always kept clean and beautiful.
