Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a dish dryer for storing and drying dishes and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional dish dryer 1 of this type is installed in a corner of a kitchen, as shown in FIG. Opening shape □4
and an L-shaped L attached to the corner of the dish dryer 1.
It had a shaped door 5.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, since the dish dryer 1 is installed in a corner of the kitchen, the size of the dish dryer 1 is limited by the width dimension (mm, B) of the sink 2. Due to the limited internal volume and the shape of the L-shaped door 5, sufficient strength cannot be obtained because the L-shaped door 5 is manufactured by joining two members 5a and 5b. There were two issues that needed to be reinforced using 6.

The present invention aims to solve these problems by increasing the storage capacity of the dish dryer and increasing the strength of the L-shaped door.

Means for Solving the Problems The technical means of the present invention is to form the above-mentioned bow-shaped door into an arcuate shape.

Effects of the present invention Since the L-shaped door has a curved surface, the internal volume is larger than that of a shape in which two members are orthogonal to each other, and the door is not constructed by joining two members. Since the door is formed into a curved shape, the strength of the door is strong and there is no need for reinforcement with reinforcing metal fittings or the like.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In Figures 1 to 3, 10 is the top plate, and the arcuate side 10a
It is L-shaped with a right side of 10 bi.

11 is an L-shaped bottom unit having an arcuate side 11a and a right side 11b like the top plate 10, and further includes a side plate 12 and a back plate 1.
3. The front plate 14 is connected to the arcuate side 10 &.

111L and the right sides IQb and 11b form an open box shape. A workshop 15 has dimensions corresponding to the right sides 10b and 11b of the top plate 10 and the bottom knee 11, and is rotatably attached to the back plate 13 with a hinge 16.

1γ is an R door, the cross-sectional shape is L-shaped with a circular arc portion 1, and the circular arc sides 10a and 1 of the top plate 10 and the bottom unit 11 are
Shape 1 dimension corresponds to 11L, Hinge 1
8, it is rotatably attached to the front plate 14. Reference numeral 19 denotes a hot air blower which generates hot air for drying the inside of the refrigerator, and is attached to the right side 11b of the bottom unit 11.

Number 20 is a shelf where washed dishes are stored.

After pressing the button for the above configuration, open both the R door 17 and the I door 15 or one of them, store the washed tableware (not shown) on the shelf 20 inside the refrigerator, and open the Ji (R When the door 17 and Ifi 16) are closed and the warm air unit 19 is operated to supply hot air for drying into the refrigerator, the tableware stored in the refrigerator can be dried.

In this case, as shown in FIG.
71Le, compared to the orthogonal L shape, the interior of the refrigerator becomes wider by the pre-volume C (shown with diagonal lines in the figure), and the Ami shelf 2
0 can also be made to follow this circular arc portion 171L, so it is possible to increase the area D (indicated by diagonal lines in the figure) as shown in FIG. 3.

In the above embodiment, the R door 1 is L-shaped with the circular arc portion 17&, but the button is not limited to this.
As shown in the figure, the effects of the present invention can be achieved even if the R door 17 has a curved surface having only an arc portion.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments, according to the present invention, a box having an approximately L-shaped cross section with arcuate sides is opened at the arcuate side, and a door having the arcuate portion is opened. , the internal volume of the box is larger than that of an L-shaped door formed by orthogonally forming two members. This creates a door that is stronger than the case where the doors are joined together, so there is no need for reinforcement with reinforcing metal fittings, etc., and the drying air inside the refrigerator is evenly distributed compared to before. It has the effect of crossing.
