Description

[Technical Field] The present invention relates to an apparatus for placing a tableware storage wagon in a drying room provided in a kitchen cabinet and drying the tableware stored in the tableware storage wagon.

[Background Art] In a conventional tableware drying device of this type, tableware storage wagons are provided with storage baskets in a plurality of upper and lower stages so that tableware and the like can be stored and dried in the storage baskets. A top plate is arranged so as to cover almost the entire upper surface for carrying items on top of the storage wagon or for cooking on top. However, since such a top plate is an obstacle when loading and unloading tableware etc. into and from the storage basket, the top plate can be set up and down freely so that it can be raised up and down when putting in and out tableware etc. It requires a large space to raise and lower the tabletop, which is inconvenient to use in a small kitchen.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and the object of the present invention is to provide a kitchen with a small space that does not require a large space as in the conventional case and the top plate can be removed. But there is to provide a tableware dryer that can be conveniently used.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION In the tableware drying device of the present invention, a tableware storage wagon 4 is freely placed in and taken out of a drying room 3 provided in the cabinet 2 of the kitchen 1 and having an opening on the front side. A plate 6 is arranged, the top plate 6 is formed by a plurality of top plate elements 7, and the plurality of top plate elements 7 are connected by a bent portion 26 in which the lower surface side is concave and the upper surface side is flat. One end of the plate 6 is rotatably connected to the container body 20 of the tableware storing wagon 4 by the rotating shaft 27, and the above-mentioned configuration solves the drawbacks of the conventional example. In other words, the top plate 6 is arranged above the storage basket 5 of the tableware storage wagon 4, and the top plate 6
Is formed by a plurality of top plate bodies 7, and a plurality of top plate bodies 7 are bent at the lower surface side and the upper surface side is flat.
Connect it with 26, and connect one end of the top plate 6 to the container 20 of the tableware storage wagon 4.
Since it is rotatably connected to the
When the top plate 6 is rotated around 27 and the top opening of the tableware storage wagon 4 is opened, the top plate 6 is bent at the bent portion 26 so that it does not get in the way.
When the upper opening of the top is closed, the top plate 6 has a plurality of top plate elements 7.
The top surface of the top plate 6 is flat even if the top plate 6 is formed by the above method, and the top plate 6 can be conveniently used, and even the one formed by a plurality of top plate elements 7 rotates about the rotation axis 27. You can now open and close it easily.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments.

A cabinet 2 such as a sink 2a and a cooking table 2b is arranged on the floor of the kitchen 1, and a drying room 3 having an open front is provided at an appropriate position of the cabinet 2. As shown in FIG. 4, a warm air generating unit 11 equipped with a fan 11a and a heat exchanger 11b is provided on the back of the drying chamber 3 which is partitioned by a partition plate 10. The hot air can be blown out from. A ventilation duct 12 is arranged in the upper part of the drying chamber 3 which is partitioned by a partition plate 30 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and warm air is blown from the intake port 14 of the front face portion 13 through the ventilation duct 12. The generation unit 11 can be inhaled. A germicidal lamp 16 is arranged in the ventilation duct 12. An exhaust port 17 is provided on the side of the front surface portion 13. A warm air blowing grill 18 is provided in the riser 19 of the cabinet 2 so that a part of the warm air generated by the warm air generating unit 11 can be blown to heat the feet. The tableware storage wagon 4 is provided with casters 21 on the lower surface of a cubic lattice frame-shaped body 20, a plurality of storage baskets 5 are mounted on the upper and lower sides of the body 20, and a front plate 22 composed of a pair of plate members 22a and 22b is provided in front. Is attached. Body 20
A top plate 6 is placed on the top. This top plate 6 is formed of a plurality of top plate materials 7, and is formed by arranging a plurality of top plate materials 7 in parallel and connecting adjacent top plate materials 7 at bend portions 26 so that they can be bent. There is. The bent portion 26 has a flat upper surface and a recessed lower surface.
One end of the top plate 6 is rotatably attached to one end of the body 20 by a rotary shaft 27. An air inlet is provided at the upper end of the front plate 22.
23 and an air outlet 24 are provided. Then, when drying the tableware or the like, the tableware storage wagon 4 is stored in the storage basket 5 with the tableware storage wagon 4 being taken out from the drying chamber 3, and the tableware storage wagon 4 is placed in the drying chamber 3. When the tableware storage wagon 4 is put into the drying chamber 3, it is sucked through the air suction port 23, the suction port 14, and the ventilation duct 12, and is warmed by the warm air generation unit 11, and the warm air is blown from the blowout port 15. It is sent into the drying chamber 3 and is exhausted through the exhaust port 17 and the air exhaust port 24, and the tableware and the like are dried with warm air. When taking out the dried tableware or the like, the tableware storage wagon 4 is pulled out from the drying chamber 3 and taken out from the storage basket 5 in the reverse order. When storing dishes or the like in the storage basket 5 or taking out the dishes or the like from the storage basket 5, the top plate 6 is rotated around the rotary shaft 27 and is bent as shown in FIG. Open the top surface. At this time, since the top plate 6 is bent by the plurality of top plate bodies 7, no space is required to rotate the top plate 6. Also top plate 6
By covering the upper surface of the tableware storing wagon 4 as shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to carry an object on the top plate 6 or to cook on the top plate 6.

[Effect of the Invention] As described above, the present invention arranges the top plate above the storage basket of the tableware storage wagon, and the top plate is formed of a plurality of top plate bodies, and the plurality of top plate bodies is a bottom surface. The table top is rotated around the rotation axis so that the table top can be stored around the rotation axis as it is connected to the tableware storage wagon body by the bent portion that is concave on the side and flat on the top side. When the top opening of the wagon is opened, the top plate can be bent at the bent part so that it does not get in the way, and it can be conveniently used in a cramped kitchen without taking up space for handling the top plate. Even if the top plate of the wagon is formed of multiple top plate bodies when the top opening is closed, the whole top surface of the top plate is flat and the top plate can be conveniently used. Even if it is formed by the body, it only rotates around the axis of rotation It can be opened and closed easily with no difficulty in its storage location.
