Description

Scrubber

The present invention relates to a scrubber having a structure in which the cleaning tank has an opening on its upper surface.

Conventionally, for example, in a washing machine such as a dishwasher, the cleaning tank has an opening on the upper surface, which is convenient to use since the entry and exit of the cleaning object can be made from the opening of the upper surface of the cleaning tank and the user does not need to bend it once again. Have

Therefore, in the washing tank which has an opening part in this upper surface, a cover is generally provided in a horizontal slide type. This is because there are many cases, such as a cupboard, in the upper part of the installation place of a washing | cleaning machine, and it is so that a cover may not touch a cupboard etc. in an open state.

The horizontal sliding cover needs to provide a guide rail for guiding the slide of the cover to the cabinet's ceiling plate. However, when the dishwasher is attached to the back of the cabinet, since the guide rail is not provided on the ceiling plate of the cabinet, it becomes impossible or difficult to install the dishwasher.

In order to avoid this, it is good to eliminate the need to install the guide rail on the ceiling plate by turning the cover upside down to support the rear end rotation, but the opening of the upper side of the cleaning tank is considerably large in consideration of the convenience of the object to be cleaned, It is quite large. For this reason, when the cover is rotated up and down, the above cupboard is touched when the cover is opened. Moreover, even if it does not touch a cupboard etc., when a large cover is standing up in an open state, it raises a problem, such as being unobtrusive.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and its object is to turn the cover up and down without the need to install the guide rail, and to avoid touching the cupboard or the like at the time of opening, and to prevent the cover from becoming unobtrusive and closed. The present invention provides a scrubber which can be securely placed in a closed state so that it does not cause a problem such as scattering of the scrubbing liquid.
