Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a tableware dryer capable of drying tableware.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a work space has been provided on the side of the sink to facilitate cooking work.When installing a tableware dryer on the sink, a space is provided between the sink and the sink. I had to.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, with this structure, when the dishes washed in the sink are placed on the draining shelf of the dish dryer, there is a problem that the drops adhering to the dishes drop on the sink and stain the upper surface of the sink. In this case, even if the draining rack is fixed inside the tableware dryer, or if it can be projected and retracted outside the tableware dryer, the same problem occurs.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a tableware dryer capable of preventing the upper surface of the sink from being contaminated by drops adhering to the tableware when storing the tableware in the tableware dryer.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In the tableware dryer of this invention, an opening is formed on the sink side of a dryer main body provided on the side of a sink, and a door is provided in this opening. It is connected to the lower part of the door so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis, and the door is formed in such a length that the tip projects into the sink in the opened state, and the door is inclined downward on the upper surface of the door in the opened state toward the sink side. It is characterized in that a concave portion is formed.

[Action]

According to the configuration of the present invention, the lower portion of the dryer body is rotatably connected to the lower portion of the opening of the dryer body, and a door having a length such that the tip projects into the sink when opened is provided in the opening of the dryer body. Therefore, when storing washed dishes in the dish dryer from the sink, even if drops on the dishes drip, they can be received by the door and drained, preventing the top surface of the sink from getting dirty with drops. can do. In addition, a concave portion that descends and slopes toward the sink is formed on the upper surface of the door in the opened state, and water droplets that drop on the upper surface of the door are drained to the sink along the descending slope of the concave portion.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The dryer main body 2 is installed on the sink 9 and has an opening 2a formed on the side of the sink 4 for taking in and out tableware (not shown). Inside the dryer main body 2, a plurality of draining shelves (not shown) are vertically arranged. Further, a water collecting member 5 for collecting the water dropped from the draining shelf is installed at the lower part of the dryer main body 2, and devices for operating the tableware dryer 1 are provided at the lower part of the water collecting member 5. (Not shown) is stored. Further, below the opening 2a, an operation panel 6 provided with switches for operating the tableware dryer 1 is provided. Then, the openings of the pair of side plates 2b provided with the opening 2a sandwiched therebetween.
A rod-shaped rotating shaft 7 (see FIG. 3) is projectingly provided on the lower portion on the front side of 2a. A drainage outlet 10 (FIG. 3) for discharging the water collected by the water collecting member 5 to the outside is formed on the side plate 2b arranged on the front surface of the tableware dryer 1.

The door 3 is formed according to the size of the opening 2a, and engaging grooves 3a are formed on both side end surfaces of the lower end portion thereof. A rotary shaft 7 provided in the dryer main body 2 is engaged with the engaging groove 3a to support the door 3 rotatably around a horizontal axis. This engagement groove
The reference numeral 3a is formed so as to incline downward when the door 3 is open. Therefore, when the door 3 is opened, the rotary shaft 7 is engaged with the lower portion of the engagement groove 3a, so that the door 3 can be installed in a state of being inclined with respect to the upper surface of the sink 9. Further, on the inner surface side of the door 3, there is a recess 3b which is inclined downward toward the sink 4 side.
Is formed, and water flows even when the door 3 is not inclined (see FIG. 3). The engagement groove 3a need not be provided in an inclined state. That is, the door 3 may be inclined by providing the engaging groove 3a on the lower surface side of the side end surface of the door 3. A handle 8 (FIG. 4) is provided on the outer surface of the door 3 on the side opposite to the rotary shaft 7.

When the tableware dryer 1 is used, as shown in FIG. 4, the handle 8 of the door 3 in the closed state is rotated by pulling it toward you. Then, with the door 3 hitting the edge of the sink 4, the door 3 is slightly pushed into the dryer main body 2 side to open the door 3. The dishes washed in the sink 4 are stored in the dryer main body 2. At this time, the drops adhering to the tableware drop and flow into the sink 4 through the recess 3b of the door 3.
Further, the drops on the surface of the operation panel 6 also flow into the sink 4 via the door 3.

According to the configuration of this embodiment, the lower portion is the opening of the dryer main body 2.
Since the door 3 which is rotatably connected to the lower portion of 2a and has a length such that the tip projects into the sink 4 in the opened state is provided at the opening 2a of the dryer main body 2, the washed dishes are kept in the sink 4 When the tableware drier 1 is stored in the dishware, the door 3 can catch the droplets attached to the tableware and prevent the upper surface of the sink 9 from being contaminated with the droplets. Moreover,
On the upper surface of the door 3 in the open state, a concave portion 3b is formed which is inclined downward toward the sink 4 side, and the water droplets dripping on the upper surface of the door 3 do not flow out to the side of the door 3 and the concave portion 3b descends. Drains smoothly and surely to the sink 4 along the slope. Further, since the rear end portion of the door 3 is provided inside the dryer main body 2 in the opened state, there is no gap between the door 3 and the dryer main body 2, and drops on the operation panel 6 are also closed. It does not flow from 3 to the sink 4 and stain the upper surface of the sink 9. Further, on the side end surface of the door 3, the engaging groove 3a is inclined downward toward the front.
Since the rotation shaft 7 is engaged with the lower inclined portion of the engaging groove 3a, the inclination angle of the door 3 with respect to the upper surface of the sink 9 can be increased, and the drooping droplets can easily flow. it can.

[Effect of device]

According to the tableware dryer of the present invention, the lower portion is rotatably connected to the lower portion of the opening of the dryer main body, and the door formed with the length that the tip protrudes into the sink in the opened state is opened in the dryer main body. Since it is installed in the sink, when storing washed dishes in the dish dryer from the sink, even if drops on the dishes drip, they can be caught by the door and drained, and the top surface of the sink will be contaminated with drops. Can be prevented. In addition, a concave portion that descends and slopes toward the sink is formed on the upper surface of the door in the opened state, and water droplets that drop on the upper surface of the door are smoothly and reliably discharged to the sink along the descending slope of the concave portion. The effect is obtained.
