Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a cutting board support device in a dish dryer.

[Conventional technology]

When the dish dryer is configured to be relatively large, it is possible to dry not only dishes but also cooking utensils at the same time. In particular, from a sanitary standpoint, it is desirable to keep cutting boards dry after use.

However, since cutting boards are larger in size and shape than tableware such as bowls and plates, it is not a good idea to put them in the dryer alongside tableware in terms of effective use of storage space. Therefore, it is desirable to store it along the bottom surface of the top plate or side wall surface of the main body case.

In this case, it is necessary to attach a cutting board support to the inside of the case, but since the cutting board is not always kept dry, the problem is that the above-mentioned support gets in the way and narrows the storage space. be.

Therefore, the object of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by retracting the cutting board support closer to the wall surface of the case as necessary.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, this invention provides a dish dryer in which a front door 2 is provided on the front of a main body case 1, and a dish storage space 5 and a heating device are provided inside. Two parallel cutting board receiving rods 6, 7 extending between both side walls are rotatably attached to the board, and each cutting board receiving rod 6, 7 is provided with a cutting board receiving portion 10 lower than its both ends, so that at least the front cutting board receiving rod 6 is The holding part is attached to the side wall of the main body case 1 and holds the receiving part 10 at a required height when the receiving part 10 is rotated upward.

[Effect]

When drying a cutting board, the cutting board 20 is placed on the two cutting board receiving rods 6 and 7 at the front and back, and is dried together with other tableware. When the cutting board 20 is not in use,
The cutting board receiving part 10 of the front cutting board receiving rod 6 is held in an upwardly rotated state.

〔Example〕

As shown in Fig. 1, the dryer has a square main body case 1 with an open front and a front door 2.The front door 2 is divided into two parts, an upper and a lower part, and the lower door is pulled up to open the upper door. Stack them together, rotate them 90 degrees upwards, push them into the main case 1, guide them by the door support grooves 3 provided on both sides of the walls, and place them in contact with and parallel to the top plate 4 of the main case 1. It is designed to be maintained in the same state.

Below the door support groove 3, that is, the tableware storage space 5
Two parallel cutting board support rods 6 and 7 extending across both side walls are hung above the board.

Both ends of these cutting board receiving rods 6 and 7 are bent into a crank shape, and as shown in FIG. A cutting board receiving portion 10 is formed in between.

The rotating shaft portion 8 of the rear cutting board receiving rod 7 is inserted into bearing portions 11 protruding from both side walls. This bearing part 11 is provided with a rotation regulating protrusion 12 at the rear of the bearing hole, and by abutting the bent part 9 on this protrusion 12, the cutting board receiving rod 7 is prevented from rotating rearward.

Next, the holding portion of the front cutting board receiving rod 6 will be explained. The holding part includes a horizontal guide groove 13 into which the rotating shaft 8 of the cutting board receiving rod 6 in the front is inserted, and guide walls 14 and 15 that constitute this guide groove 13, and end walls 1 at the front and back.
6, 17 and a notch 18. The guide walls 14 and 15 above protrude from the side walls by a width a (see Fig. 2), and the end wall 17 leaves a width b necessary for inserting the rotating shaft 8, and a width c inward from the end wall 17.
A notch 18 is formed.

The above-mentioned bent portion 9 is formed so as to be located within the above-mentioned width c in the state shown in FIG. 2 in which the cutting board receiving rod 6 is hanging down.

Further, below the end wall 17, a regulating plate 19 that protrudes vertically downward is provided over a range of width a.
By applying the bent portion 9 to the regulating plate 19,
Rearward rotation of the cutting board receiving rod 6 is restricted.

Note that the rear cutting board receiving rod 7 may also be attached and held by the same holding parts 13 to 18 as the front cutting board receiving rod 6.

The embodiment of this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and by energizing the heating device (not shown) housed in the main body case 1, natural convection is generated to dry the dishes, etc. inside. In this case, if the cutting boards 20 are to be dried at the same time, the front and rear cutting board receiving rods 6 and 7 are allowed to hang downward, and the cutting boards 20 are placed on these receiving parts 10.

In the case where the cutting board 20 is not dried,
Moreover, if the cutting board support rods 6 and 7 do not get in the way, you can leave them both hanging down.
When drying relatively large dishes and the like, if you want to secure a larger storage space 5, rotate the front cutting board receiving rod 6 upwards by 90 degrees (see arrow A in Figure 3).
Push the bent portion 9 into the guide groove 13. Since the bent portion 9 exists within the width c of the notch 18, it is supported within the width c of the guide wall 14 by pushing. As a result, the surface of the cutting board receiving rod 6, that is, the surface including the rotating shaft 8, the bent portion 9, and the receiving portion 10, becomes parallel to the top plate 4, so that the storage space 5 below it becomes wider.

Note that the rear cutting board receiving rod 7 is relatively less likely to get in the way, so it may be left hanging down as in the illustrated embodiment, but as described above, the cutting board receiving rod 7 in the front Similarly, if it can be rotated upward and held, the storage space 5 can be further expanded.

〔effect〕

As described above, in this invention, two cutting board support rods are provided in the upper part of the tableware storage space, and the cutting board is supported by these rods, so that the tableware storage space is not narrowed. In addition, at least the cutting board support bar at the front can be rotated upwards to hold the cutting board, so if you do not want to dry the cutting board, you can raise the support bar.
You can further expand your tableware storage space.
