Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a dish basket for a dishwasher.

BACKGROUND ART The schematic structure of a conventional dishwasher will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. That is, the tank 2 is arranged inside the main body 1 of the dishwasher. The cleaning water in the tank 2 is circulated by a pump 3 which is rotationally driven by a motor 4. This pump 3 sucks cleaning water through a drain port 5 and injects it through a cleaning nozzle 6. Further, a tableware basket 8 in which the tableware 7 can be arranged in an orderly manner is installed in the tank in order to efficiently store and wash the tableware 7. A removable shelf 9 is provided at the top of the tableware basket 8. Furthermore, roller legs 10 are attached to the bottom of the basket 8 to facilitate loading and unloading of the basket 8. Reference numeral 11 denotes a door that is rotatable forward and can be opened and closed when taking out or putting in the tableware 7.

Problems that the invention attempts to solve In this conventional configuration, the tableware 7 is placed inside the tank 2.
If you store basket 8 with a bowl set,
In the case of small-diameter dishes such as bowls, a removable shelf 9 was installed above them to make effective use of the storage space. It was necessary to remove the shelf every time the shelf was set, which took time and effort, and the user ended up not using the shelf 9, and as a result, the user felt that the storage capacity was insufficient. Furthermore, even when using the shelf section 9, the dishes 7 are often set on the shelf section 9 in advance and then placed on the main body of the basket 8. Because of this, my hand slipped and the whole shelf 9 fell to the floor,
Alternatively, there was a problem in which clothes were caught on the pins of the shelf section 9 and the tableware 7 was dropped and broken.

This invention solves these problems,
The object of this invention is to improve the setting of tableware on the shelves and the storage efficiency when the shelves are not used.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the dishwasher basket of the present invention has a first shelf rotatably supported on the upper opening side of the basket main body, and this first shelf. The second shelf part can be superimposed and arranged in parallel with the first shelf part.
The first shelf is rotatably supported on the shelf, and both are rotatable around the first shelf pivot along the inner wall of the basket main body in an overlapping state, and when the shelf is stored, the first and second shelves are The first and second shelves are placed in an approximately horizontal position when the shelves are in use.

Function With this configuration, when the shelf is not in use, there is no need to remove it, and even when the shelf is in use, the shelf itself is foldable, so the shelf can be easily adjusted depending on the size of the tableware set in the main body of the basket. It can be rotated arbitrarily to use and store the shelf, and it is possible to improve the storage of tableware.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in Figures 1 and 2.
This will be explained with reference to the figures. In the figure, the basket body 1
2 has steel wires welded together and then coated entirely with nylon. Further, a pair of shaft supports 13a and 13b are formed on the outer periphery of the car body 12.

The accessory shelf is divided into two parts: a first shelf part 14a on the side of the basket body and a second shelf part 14b on the tip side, and the shaft 15 and the shaft supports 16a, 16b are inserted into the second shelf part 14b.
are pivotally supported on the first shelf 14a around the shaft 15 so as to be able to overlap or be arranged side by side.

On the other hand, the first shelf portion 14a has the pivot supports 17a, 17
b and the pivot supports 13a, 13b of the basket body 12 are inserted into each other, and the basket body 12 stands upright along the inner wall of the basket body 12 when stored, and is rotatable so that it can be installed approximately horizontally when in use. 18a and 18b are the first shelf portions 14
The second shelf part 14b is a rotation stopper of the first shelf part 14a by extending the outer frame 19.
The lower surface of the pin 20 in a is used as a stopper. 21
are roller legs provided at the bottom of the basket body 12.

In the above configuration, when the accessory shelf is not used, the first shelf section 14a and the second shelf section 14b are upright, so that large diameter tableware can be set therein. Furthermore, when the number of tableware set on the accessory shelf is small, the second shelf section 14b can be used without rotating. The two-dot chain line in the figure shows the state of the accessory shelf when it is stored and rotated.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, a first shelf is rotatably supported on the upper opening side of the basket main body, and a second shelf that can be overlapped and arranged side by side with respect to the first shelf is rotatably supported. The shelf part is rotatably supported on the first shelf part, and both are rotatable about the first shelf part pivot support so as to follow the inner wall of the basket main body in an overlapping state, To maximize the storage rate of tableware in baskets according to various types of tableware without the need for attaching and detaching the shelves even when the accessory shelves are not used, eliminating problems such as loss of the accessory shelves or damage to tableware. Can be done.
