Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a dish dryer for storing and drying washed dishes.

BACKGROUND ART A cross-sectional view of the configuration of a conventional dish dryer of this type is shown.

In the figure, 101 is a heater 102 inside.
and a heat dissipation plate 103, and the upper part thereof has a tableware basket 104 for storing tableware and a tableware basket 104.
A lid 105 is installed to cover the top opening. The bottom screen 106 of the tableware basket 104 is removable, but the bottom screen 106 has a size and shape larger than the bottom opening of the tableware basket 104 so that it does not fall down. It was locked.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, there was a problem in that two molds for the bottom net and the outer frame of the tableware basket, which are resin molded products, were required to be manufactured.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention consists of a main body case having a heater inside, a tableware basket placed on the main body case to store tableware, and a lid covering the tableware basket. The tableware basket is configured by integrally forming a frame-shaped support plate portion protruding from the lower inner surface of a rectangular side plate outer frame, and separating the support plate portion and a bottom screen of the bottom surface portion, and one side of the bottom screen opposite to the bottom screen. A plurality of locking pieces projecting outward are provided on the side portion, and a curved cutout portion into which the locking piece is inserted is formed in the support plate portion corresponding to the locking piece, and in the fixed position, If the locking piece is inserted into the notch, the support plate of the tableware basket and the bottom net will not overlap. On the other hand, the support plate has a locking groove at a position different from the notch, and the locking groove is formed at a designated position. In the tableware basket and the bottom net, the locking piece is locked to the support plate portion in the locking groove portion, and the bottom net overlaps the support plate portion.

Effects With the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention makes it possible to simultaneously mold the side plate outer frame and the bottom net of the tableware basket using the same mold, and when in use, the two are combined to form the tableware basket. fulfills the functions of

Embodiment Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of parts of an embodiment of the dish dryer of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a plan view of a dish basket when molded according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is the same in use. A top view of the tableware basket is shown.

In the figure, 1 is a rectangular box-shaped main body case that has a heater 2 and a heat sink 3 inside, and 4 is a rectangular outer frame of a tableware basket with an open bottom that is placed on top of the main case 1, and the lower part of the inner wall thereof. A frame-shaped support plate 5 protrudes further inward, and a support step 4-1 protrudes outward from the periphery at the upper part. 6 is the support plate 5
It is a rectangular bottom net that is secured by locking both ends to the top. The outer shape of the bottom net 6 and the shape of the bottom opening of the dish basket outer frame 4 are similar at a predetermined distance. A plurality of locking pieces 7 are formed on a pair of opposing side portions 6A, 6B of the bottom net 6 and are positioned outward.
A locking groove portion 8 is provided on the upper surface of the support plate 5 at a position corresponding to the locking piece 7 . Further, when the bottom net 6 is turned over about the A-A axis, a curved notch 9 is formed by cutting out the support plate 5 that faces the locking piece 7, and the curved notch 9 is engaged with the support plate 5. The stopper piece 7 can be inserted. 1
0 has a rectangular box shape, and the open part has a gallery-shaped horizontal part 10A-1 that projects outward from the edge and a fitting that extends vertically downward integrally from the edge of the horizontal part 10A-1. This is a lid that is integrally formed with an engaging part 10A consisting of a stop part 10A-2, and is placed on a support step part 4-1 on the top opening of the tableware basket frame 4 in a horizontal part 10A-1 to cover it.

In the above configuration, the present invention provides the locking piece 7 of the bottom net 6.
Place the bottom net 6 on the bottom of the dish basket outer frame so that it is located in the curved notch 9 of the support plate 5 of the dish basket outer frame 4,
If the mold is manufactured to maintain this positional relationship,
The dish basket outer frame 4 and the bottom screen 6 can be molded at the same time, and can be set and removed from one side of the mold. In addition, when actually used as a dish basket in a dish dryer, the bottom net 6 should be adjusted so that the locking pieces 7 are locked in the locking grooves 8 of the support plate 5.
By placing it on the bottom of the dish basket frame 4, the bottom screen 6 can be fixed without falling off.

In the above explanation, the movement of the bottom net 4 from the molding position to the use position was based on the structure of reversing around the A-A axis, but it was also possible to move the bottom net 4 from the position during molding to the position during use by reversing around the A-A axis, or by reversing around the B-B axis or as shown in the paper. It can be configured to perform rotation about a vertical axis or even translation, and the locking piece 7, locking groove 8, and curved notch 9 may be arranged at appropriate positions.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the structure of the present invention, molding of the tableware basket frame and bottom net that constitute the tableware basket can be made into one mold instead of the two molds that were previously required. It produces effects that can be used industrially, such as a significant reduction in mold costs and the ability to save molding man-hours through simultaneous molding.
