Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention provides a door at the front opening of the washing tank with its lower end pivoted, and sprays washing water from the dish basket and pump circulation into the washing tank. The present invention relates to a dishwasher equipped with a nozzle arm.

(b) Conventional technology An example of this type of dishwasher is Utility Model No. 58-88963.
This device has a recess formed at the bottom of the cleaning tank, and a water receiver 20 is attached thereto. This water receiver is provided with a discharge port 25 to the pump 3 for supplying and spraying cleaning water to the nozzle arm 4, and further includes a partition wall 23 and a notch 24 to form a housing portion for the filter 13 in the shape of a cylinder with a bottom. ing. This filter 13 is for catching dirt and the like generated during cleaning, and is pulled up and cleaned as appropriate.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, in such a conventional example, since the filter is pulled straight up, it is necessary to take out the dish basket in advance at this time, which requires replacing the filter.
Installation and removal work during cleaning is not easy.

Therefore, in the present invention, the filter can be easily installed and removed by simply opening the door while leaving the dish basket in the tank.

(d) Means for solving the problem The solution according to the present invention is to form an intake recess for circulating washing water near the front of the washing tank, and to place a dish-shaped filter in this intake recess. In addition, this filter is provided with a handle that protrudes diagonally upward and forward, a notch is formed at the pivot end of the door, that is, the lower end, and a sloped part is provided at the front of the dish basket in line with the direction in which the handle protrudes. This is the configuration that formed the .

(E) Function When the door is opened, the lower end of the door is cut and the front of the dish basket is sloped, so the handle of the filter is located approximately halfway between the cut and the slope, making it easy to grasp it. can. Therefore, by holding the handle and pulling it out in the direction in which the handle protrudes, the dish-shaped filter can be cut and taken out from between the slopes. Then, clean it as appropriate and return the filter to the tank from between the notch and the slope by holding the handle again.

(F) Embodiment To explain based on the drawings, a nozzle arm 3 that rotates while spraying washing water and a roller 5 of a dish basket 4 are installed in a washing tank 2 disposed in a main body 1 in the front and back directions. A rail 6 is provided to guide the car 4 in and out.

A door 7 that opens in the vertical direction is provided at the front opening of the cleaning tank 2. This door 7 has arms at both ends of a lower end 8, a pivot shaft 9 is provided here, and a notch 10 is formed in the lower end 8, leaving both ends intact.

There is a shallow recess 11 on the inner bottom near the front of the cleaning tank 2.
is formed. This recess 11 is the cleaning pump 12
and the suction side of the drainage pump 13. The cleaning pump 12 sucks the cleaning water from the recess 11 and supplies it to the nozzle arm 3 for circulation, and the drain pump 13 drains the cleaning water as needed through an inverted U-shaped drain pipe.

The tableware basket 4, which is made of metal wire or resin molded, has an inclined portion 14 cut downward at the front and rear sides thereof.

On the other hand, a dish-shaped filter 15 is disposed so as to cover the recess 11, and this includes the inclined portion 14.
A handle 16 is fixed in the same direction, that is, diagonally upward and forward. This filter 15 is made of a metal net, a punched plate, etc., and is further recessed to have a resin mesh basket attached thereto. Further, the handle 16 faces the lower part of the front opening of the cleaning tank 2. Note that the size of the holes in the resin mesh basket is larger than that of the filter.

Thus, when the door 7 is opened, there is a gap sufficient to pass the filter 15 between the notch 10 at the lower end 8 of the door and the sloped section 14 at the front of the tableware basket 4. The tip of the handle 16 is facing forward. Then, with the tableware basket 4 left in place, hold the handle 16 in your hand, pull it out in the protruding direction, and lift it up to move the filter 15 from between the notch 10 and the slope 14 to avoid collision with the surroundings. It can be extracted while That is, the installation and removal operations for replacing the filter and cleaning become easy, and there is almost no chance of dust etc. falling from the filter 15 and contaminating the inside of the tank.

Incidentally, the inclined portions 14 are provided at the front and rear of the tableware basket 4 in consideration of the case where the tableware basket 4 is loaded and taken out together with tableware and set from the opposite direction.

(g) Effects of the invention According to the invention, a notch is formed at the lower end of the door, and a sloped part is formed at the front of the dish basket so that the handle of the filter faces the front. The gap necessary for attaching and removing the filter while leaving the gap intact can be formed by the notch and the inclined section. Therefore, the filter can be easily installed and removed from this gap by holding the handle, and during this process there is almost no chance of dropping dirt and contaminating the inside of the tank, which reduces work efficiency when replacing or cleaning the filter. It is possible to improve the environment and prevent re-contamination.
