Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is a dishwasher of the type in which a rotary blade is provided at the bottom of a water tank, and is used to prevent dishes from being caught in the rotary blade. ,
This invention relates to a dish basket for a dishwasher that facilitates loading and unloading of dishes. In particular, it has been devised as a dishwashing tank suitable for a sink in which one of the water tanks in a two-tank sink is used as a washing tank for a dishwasher.

[Prior art] and [Problems to be solved by the invention] As stated in Utility Model Publication No. 48-25831, the conventional dishwasher basket has a structure around the rotor blades so as not to obstruct the rotational movement of the rotor blades. A covering inner convex portion is formed.

According to the inventor's experiments, simply forming a convex portion large enough to cover the rotor blades, as in the conventional example, would cause water droplets to splash out of the water tank from the water surface due to the agitation caused by the water flow caused by the rotor blades. It was supposed to scatter and pollute the surrounding area.

In particular, in dishwashers that use the water tank in the sink as the washing tank, a simple device consisting of rotary blades and a mesh basket at the bottom of the water tank is used to open the lid and stop the motor rotation, just like in a dedicated dishwasher. It was impractical to add a function that would allow the washer to run, and the only thing left to do was to cover it with a drain plate while the washer was in operation.

[Means for solving the problem] Therefore, the dishwasher basket according to this invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problem, and its gist is that the basket is made by bending and welding metal wires. In a dishwasher basket with an open top surface, a cap-shaped convex portion is formed from the center of the bottom so as to fit loosely into the rotor blade, and this convex portion is approximately twice the length of the rotor blade, and configured to be lower than the top surface,
A cap is placed over the top of the convex portion to prevent water splashing.

Note that the performance of a dishwasher is not for complete dishwashing, but rather for the purpose of streamlining dishwashing work as a washing machine that functions as a wash or pre-wash when soaking used dishes. It is something.

[Example] The following will explain the embodiments shown in the drawings.

1 indicates a two-tank type sink, with a large water tank 11
and small aquariums 12 are arranged in parallel, and these aquariums 1
1 and 12 are overflow tubes 13 at the upper part.
It is connected by Drainage holes 14 are provided at the corners of the water tanks 11 and 12, and a removable container 15 for storing the food is provided below the drainage holes 14.

The rotary blade 2 is detachably installed at the bottom of the small water tank 12, and stirs hot water using a motor.

The tableware basket 3 according to this invention is obtained by bending and welding metal wire as a whole, and the tableware is lined up in a small water tank 12, with a cap-shaped protrusion that loosely fits into the rotor 2 from the center of the bottom. A portion 31 is formed, and this convex portion 31 is approximately twice the length of the rotor blade,
and is configured to be lower than the upper periphery of the basket, and the convex portion 3
A cap for preventing water splashing is fixed to the upper part of the cap.

Also, in the corner of the bottom is a round hole 3 corresponding to the drainage hole 14.
2 is provided. This round hole 32 is provided so that the drain plug can be removed without removing the dish basket 3 after washing the dishes.

To explain the use of a sink with a dishwasher that has such a structure, the dish basket 3 is placed in the small water tank 1.
2, close the drainage hole 13, fill it with hot water or water, and arrange the used dishes in the dish basket 3. When an appropriate amount of detergent is added and the rotary blades 2 are rotated, most of the dirt adhering to the dishes can be removed by the vortex flow.

The rotary blade 2 is stopped, and the drain hole 13 of the small water tank 12 is opened through the round hole 32 of the dish basket 3 to drain the waste water. Afterwards, any dirt that cannot be removed by the whirlpool is wiped with a sponge, and then rinsed.

Although the above embodiments have been described with respect to a two-tank type sink, the present invention can of course also be applied to a single-tank type sink.

If the small water tank 12 of the two-tank sink is used as a washing tank as shown in the illustrated embodiment, the small water tank can be used for multiple purposes since the rotary blade 2 and dish basket 3 are removable.

In addition, if you install a drain plate that fits into the small water tank so that it is flush with the cooking surface and can freely slide between the water tank and the cooking surface, and place it on top of the small water tank, chopsticks, spoons, etc. will fall into the small water tank while washing dishes. Not only can this completely prevent this, but the cooking surface can be used more widely while washing dishes, and even if the motor output is increased, the surrounding area will not be contaminated by water splashing.

[Effect of the invention] The dishwasher basket having such a structure has a relatively long convex portion 31 in the center, so even if the rotary blade 2 is erected in the center, the surrounding tableware is not affected. Since there is a gap between the two, the eddy current hits the tableware evenly. Furthermore, since the convex portion 31 is relatively long and has approximately twice the length of the rotary blade, dishes can be propped up here, and there is no need to provide a separate rod for leaning the dishes.

In addition, since the cap 33 is provided above the convex portion 31 of the dish basket 3, the vortex flow toward the top hits the inside of the cap 33, and hot water flows into the water tank 12.
Since there is no overflow or splatter, there is no need to cover the lid during operation, and you can pick up the dishes and check how dirty they are.

In addition, since the vortex is guided to the surrounding tableware, the cleaning power is improved. Furthermore, this will help prevent damage to the rotary blade 2 and dish basket 3 when chopsticks or spoons are accidentally dropped.
