しかしながら、従来の食器洗い機は専用洗剤を溶解させていない水道水を霧化しており、汚れに対する一定の膨潤効果を得ることはできるが、強固なタンパク質汚れや油脂汚れに対する洗浄効果を向上させるまでには至らなかった。また、より洗浄力を高めるために、専用洗剤に加えて別途高濃度洗剤を用いる必要があった。   However, the conventional dishwasher atomizes the tap water that does not dissolve the special detergent, and can obtain a certain swelling effect against dirt, but to improve the washing effect against strong protein dirt and oily dirt Did not come. Further, in order to further increase the cleaning power, it is necessary to use a separate high-concentration detergent in addition to the dedicated detergent.

A control device 16 is provided inside the front panel 4 and controls the cleaning pump 6, the heater 10, and the like. A recess 17 recessed outward is provided on the inner wall surface below the front surface of the cleaning tank 3, and the detergent liquid scattering means 18 is disposed in the recess 17. The detergent liquid splashing means 18 includes a splash part 19 for splashing the detergent liquid and a storage part 20 for storing the detergent liquid, and the upper part is covered with a detergent container cover 21. The reservoir 20 is provided with a detergent inlet 22 at the lower part of the front side wall surface of the cleaning tank 3. The scattering unit 19 and the storage unit 20 are formed as a tank independent of the cleaning tank 3, and the cleaning water communicates with the cleaning tank 3 through a notch 24 constituted by the cleaning tank 3 and the detergent container cover 21. In addition, the atomized high-concentration detergent is scattered in the cleaning tank 3 through the side opening 25 provided on the side surface of the detergent container cover 21.

飛散部19は、容器26内に液体27と空気28を封入し、超音波発振子29の発振面30を液体27に向ける方向で容器26の下面に配置し、蓋31で超音波発振子29に取り付けたパッキン32を圧接して水封する構成をしている。また、超音波発振子29の発振面30は、容器26の界面33(傾斜面)に対しては略平行に設けるが、洗浄槽3の水面とは若干の角度を持って設置されている。   The scattering unit 19 encloses the liquid 27 and the air 28 in the container 26, arranges the oscillation surface 30 of the ultrasonic oscillator 29 on the lower surface of the container 26 in a direction facing the liquid 27, and the ultrasonic oscillator 29 with the lid 31. The packing 32 attached to is pressed and water sealed. Further, the oscillating surface 30 of the ultrasonic oscillator 29 is provided substantially parallel to the interface 33 (inclined surface) of the container 26, but is installed at a slight angle with the water surface of the cleaning tank 3.

上記構成において動作、作用を説明する。まず、高濃度の洗剤液を食器に付着させる前処理工程が行われる。本発明の飛散部19は、超音波発振子29の発振面側に液体27を封入した容器26で構成されており、超音波発振子29は洗浄水と直接触れることはない。したがって、食器洗い機を運転する場合においても、非常に汚れた洗浄水と触れることがないので、食品がヘドロ状になって超音波発振子29の発振面30に付着し、固化することはない。また、井戸水など非常に硬度が高い水を使用する場合においても、その無機質分が析出して超音波発振子29の発振面30に付着することはなく、霧化を安定的に長期間にわたって行うことができる。   The operation and action of the above configuration will be described. First, a pretreatment step for attaching a high concentration detergent solution to the tableware is performed. The scattering unit 19 of the present invention is composed of a container 26 in which a liquid 27 is sealed on the oscillation surface side of the ultrasonic oscillator 29, and the ultrasonic oscillator 29 is not in direct contact with cleaning water. Therefore, even when the dishwasher is operated, since it does not come into contact with very dirty washing water, the food does not become sludge and adheres to the oscillation surface 30 of the ultrasonic oscillator 29 and does not solidify. Further, even when water with very high hardness such as well water is used, the inorganic component does not precipitate and adhere to the oscillation surface 30 of the ultrasonic oscillator 29, and the atomization is stably performed over a long period of time. be able to.

次に、本発明の食器洗い機の動作について説明する。まず、洗浄槽3を本体から引き出して、所定量の洗剤36(専用洗剤が好ましい)を洗剤投入口22から貯留部20に入れる。次に、給水弁15から所定水量の洗浄水を給水する。このとき、洗浄水は、制御装置16により、界面33より上になるように給水される。このとき、洗浄水は洗浄槽3内はもちろん、切り欠き部24より飛散部19および貯留部20内に浸入し、洗剤の一部が洗浄水に溶け始める。この時点において、超音波発振子29を駆動させると、その発振が液体27を伝播し、界面33を通して洗浄水に伝わる。そして、水面に水柱34が発生してその水柱34から高濃度洗剤液の霧化が行われる。   Next, the operation of the dishwasher of the present invention will be described. First, the washing tank 3 is pulled out from the main body, and a predetermined amount of detergent 36 (preferably dedicated detergent) is put into the storage unit 20 from the detergent inlet 22. Next, a predetermined amount of washing water is supplied from the water supply valve 15. At this time, the cleaning water is supplied by the control device 16 so as to be above the interface 33. At this time, the washing water enters the scattering part 19 and the storage part 20 from the notch part 24 as well as the washing tank 3, and a part of the detergent starts to dissolve in the washing water. At this time, when the ultrasonic oscillator 29 is driven, the oscillation propagates through the liquid 27 and is transmitted to the cleaning water through the interface 33. Then, a water column 34 is generated on the water surface, and the high concentration detergent solution is atomized from the water column 34.

高濃度洗剤液の生成は、洗剤液を溶解させることと、高濃度洗剤液の洗浄槽3内の洗浄水に対する拡散を抑えることで行う。まず、濃度に関しては、例えば、飛散部19と貯留部20の貯水容積を洗浄槽3全体に貯水する給水量の1/50に設定し、投入する洗剤を所定量投入した場合、理論的には約50倍濃度の洗剤液を生成することができる。しかしながら、切り欠き部24により洗浄槽3内とつながっているため、洗剤液に拡散により洗剤液濃度は若干減少する。そこで濃度の減少を抑制するために、高濃度洗剤液でできた水柱34が直接洗浄槽3内へ流出しないように、洗剤入れカバー21の内壁に戻り通路35を設け、高濃度洗剤液を貯留部20に回収する。   The high-concentration detergent liquid is generated by dissolving the detergent liquid and suppressing the diffusion of the high-concentration detergent liquid into the cleaning water in the cleaning tank 3. First, regarding the concentration, for example, when the water storage volume of the scattering unit 19 and the storage unit 20 is set to 1/50 of the amount of water supplied to the entire cleaning tank 3, and a predetermined amount of detergent is added, theoretically, About 50 times the concentration of detergent solution can be produced. However, since it is connected to the inside of the cleaning tank 3 by the notch 24, the concentration of the detergent solution is slightly reduced by diffusion into the detergent solution. Therefore, in order to suppress the decrease in the concentration, a return passage 35 is provided on the inner wall of the detergent container cover 21 so that the water column 34 made of the high-concentration detergent solution does not flow directly into the washing tub 3 to store the high-concentration detergent solution. Collected in part 20.

この構成により、飛散部19と貯留部20の間で高濃度洗剤液の水の流れが発生し、洗剤液濃度の低下を防ぐとともに洗剤36の溶解を早める。また、霧化動作と同時にヒータ10を通電することにより、洗浄水も加熱されるため洗剤の溶解を促進し、洗剤液濃度をさらに高める。このように、高濃度洗剤液の濃度は、洗剤液の飛散の進行に従って洗剤液の濃度が濃くなるものである。このため、まず濃度の薄い洗剤液を汚染に付着させて洗剤液を汚れになじませ、引き続いて高濃度の洗剤液を汚染に付着させることで、高濃度にすることで流動性の悪くなる界面活性剤の汚染への浸透性を高め、洗浄性能を向上させるものである。   With this configuration, a water flow of high-concentration detergent solution is generated between the scattering unit 19 and the storage unit 20 to prevent a decrease in the concentration of the detergent solution and accelerate the dissolution of the detergent 36. Further, when the heater 10 is energized simultaneously with the atomization operation, the washing water is also heated, so that the detergent is dissolved and the detergent liquid concentration is further increased. As described above, the concentration of the high-concentration detergent liquid is such that the concentration of the detergent liquid increases as the detergent liquid scatters. For this reason, firstly, a detergent solution with a low concentration is attached to the contamination, and the detergent solution is adapted to the dirt, and then a detergent solution with a high concentration is attached to the contamination. It increases the permeability of the active agent to contamination and improves the cleaning performance.

なお、切り欠き部24より高濃度洗剤液が洗浄槽3内に流出していくが、切り欠き部24の開口面積を最小としているため洗剤液濃度の低下を最小限度にしている。また、界面33より上方に洗浄水がなくなると霧化の発生も止まり高濃度の洗剤液も飛散しなくなるため、超音波発振子29を駆動する時は必ず洗浄水が界面33より上に存在するように制御装置16は給水弁15を制御する。なお、界面33と発振面30の距離や相対角度、および界面33から水面までの距離などをそれぞれ最適化することで、霧の発生効率が高くなる。また、界面33を傾斜面としているのは、界面33の内壁に気泡が付着すると、超音波発振子29の振動が界面33に伝播するのが難しくなるので、その気泡を傾斜面に沿って移動させ、振動の中心からずらすためである。   Although the high-concentration detergent liquid flows out into the cleaning tank 3 from the notch 24, since the opening area of the notch 24 is minimized, the decrease in the detergent concentration is minimized. In addition, when there is no washing water above the interface 33, the generation of atomization stops and the high-concentration detergent liquid does not scatter, so that the washing water always exists above the interface 33 when the ultrasonic oscillator 29 is driven. Thus, the control device 16 controls the water supply valve 15. Note that the mist generation efficiency is increased by optimizing the distance and relative angle between the interface 33 and the oscillation surface 30 and the distance from the interface 33 to the water surface. In addition, the interface 33 has an inclined surface. When bubbles are attached to the inner wall of the interface 33, it is difficult for the vibration of the ultrasonic oscillator 29 to propagate to the interface 33, so that the bubbles move along the inclined surface. This is for shifting from the center of vibration.

また、超音波発振子29で霧化させた高濃度洗剤液は0.3ミクロン程度の微細粒径であるため、そのままでは洗浄槽3の上部まで対流することはなく、水面近傍に漂うだけである。しかしながら、本発明の構成では、霧化動作と同時にヒータ10(流動手段)を通電させるため、洗浄水が加熱し、温度上昇にともなう熱によって空気の対流が発生する。そして、空気の対流効果により霧化した高濃度洗剤液が洗浄槽3内をくまなく充満して食器の表面にムラなく付着する。また、霧化した高濃度洗剤液の温度を高めることで、化学力がさらに増すため洗浄効果は飛躍的に向上するものである。   Further, since the high-concentration detergent liquid atomized by the ultrasonic oscillator 29 has a fine particle size of about 0.3 microns, the convection does not flow up to the upper part of the cleaning tank 3 as it is, and it just floats near the water surface. is there. However, in the configuration of the present invention, since the heater 10 (flow means) is energized simultaneously with the atomization operation, the cleaning water is heated, and air convection is generated by the heat accompanying the temperature rise. And the high concentration detergent liquid atomized by the convection effect of air fills up the inside of the washing tank 3 and adheres uniformly to the surface of the tableware. Further, the chemical effect is further increased by increasing the temperature of the atomized high-concentration detergent solution, so that the cleaning effect is dramatically improved.

このように、食器の汚染に付着した高濃度の洗剤液が浸透、膨潤し、洗剤の効果をより得られるように一定時間放置する。   In this way, the detergent solution of high concentration adhering to the contamination of the tableware permeates and swells, and is left for a certain period of time so that the effect of the detergent can be further obtained.

次に、洗浄ポンプ6を駆動して洗浄ノズル8から食器に噴射する本洗い工程を行う。なお本洗い工程は、前処理工程で食器等に噴霧した分に加え、貯留部19や飛散部20内に残った洗剤液も洗浄槽3内に拡散していくため、通常洗剤濃度の洗浄水で洗浄を行う。   Next, a main washing process is performed in which the washing pump 6 is driven and sprayed from the washing nozzle 8 onto the tableware. In the main washing process, in addition to the amount sprayed on the tableware and the like in the pretreatment process, the detergent solution remaining in the storage unit 19 and the scattering unit 20 also diffuses into the washing tank 3, so that the washing water having a normal detergent concentration is used. Wash with.

そして、洗浄槽3の洗浄水を入れ替えての数回のすすぎ工程を行った後、最後に加温した高温の洗浄水ですすぐ加熱すすぎ工程を行って洗浄工程を終了する。また、最後に洗浄した食器を乾燥する乾燥工程を行う場合もある。   And after performing the rinse process of several times which replaced the wash water of the washing tank 3, the rinse process is completed with the heating rinse process with the high temperature wash water heated at the end. Moreover, the drying process which dries the tableware cleaned at the end may be performed.

この洗剤を高濃度にすることに関しては、洗剤の主成分である界面活性剤やアルカリ剤、あるいは漂白剤、キレート剤等が従来濃度以上に汚染に付着するため、汚れと食器との界面に洗浄液が入りやすくなる効果や、アルカリによる洗浄効果や漂白成分による漂白効果を飛躍的に発揮させることができる。そして、前処理工程の後の本洗浄工程では、前処理工程で高濃度洗剤液により特定の汚れを分解した後の汚れを通常洗剤濃度の洗浄液で洗浄することで、被洗浄物の汚れは、確実に洗浄できる。   In order to increase the concentration of this detergent, surfactants, alkali agents, bleaching agents, chelating agents, etc., which are the main components of the detergent, adhere to contamination more than the conventional concentration. The effect of facilitating the entry of water, the effect of washing with an alkali, and the effect of bleaching with a bleaching component can be drastically exhibited. And in the main cleaning process after the pretreatment process, the dirt after the specific dirt is decomposed with the high concentration detergent solution in the pretreatment process is washed with a cleaning liquid having a normal detergent concentration. Can be washed reliably.

このように、本実施の形態においては、洗剤飛散手段18により通常使用時の洗剤濃度より高濃度の洗剤液を被洗浄物に付着させて放置する前処理工程を有することにより、洗浄性能を大幅に向上することができる。またこの高い洗浄力を用いて、より短時間で洗浄することや、より低い洗浄水温度で洗浄することができる。また従来では取れなかった汚れを洗浄することができる。   Thus, in the present embodiment, the cleaning performance is greatly improved by having a pretreatment step in which a detergent solution having a higher concentration than that of normal use is attached to the object to be cleaned by the detergent scattering means 18 and left to stand. Can be improved. Moreover, it can wash | clean in a shorter time using this high detergency, and it can wash | clean with a lower washing water temperature. In addition, it is possible to clean dirt that could not be removed in the past.

また、洗浄槽3を本体1開口部2から引き出して食器を出し入れする食器洗い機では、洗浄槽3に高濃度洗剤液が充満しているときに開口部5を覆う蓋体13を開けると、洗剤液がすべて洗浄槽3外に出てしまい、洗浄性能を大きく損なう。本発明の構成によれば、洗浄槽3は上方に開口部5を有しているため、食器を追加するときなど、洗剤液を飛散させる工程の途中で洗浄槽3を開口した場合でも、洗浄槽3内に充満した高濃度の洗剤液は洗浄槽3外に漏れ出すことはなく、高濃度の洗剤液による高い洗浄力を維持することができる。   Moreover, in the dishwasher which draws out the washing tank 3 from the main body 1 opening 2 and puts in and out the tableware, when the lid 13 covering the opening 5 is opened when the washing tank 3 is filled with the high-concentration detergent liquid, the detergent All of the liquid comes out of the cleaning tank 3 and the cleaning performance is greatly impaired. According to the configuration of the present invention, since the cleaning tank 3 has the opening 5 above, even when the cleaning tank 3 is opened during the process of splashing the detergent solution, such as when adding tableware, cleaning is performed. The high-concentration detergent liquid filled in the tank 3 does not leak out of the cleaning tank 3 and can maintain a high cleaning power by the high-concentration detergent liquid.

なお、本実施例では、高濃度洗剤の飛散のために超音波発振子を用いて霧化して行う方法について説明したが、他にも予め高濃度洗剤を生成し、その液体を高圧ポンプやエアポンプ等の噴霧手段を用いて食器に飛散させる方法も考えられる。   In addition, although the present Example demonstrated the method performed by atomizing using an ultrasonic oscillator for the dispersion | distribution of a high concentration detergent, a high concentration detergent is produced | generated previously and the liquid is used as a high pressure pump or an air pump. A method of spraying on tableware using a spraying means such as the above is also conceivable.

また、前処理工程での洗剤液を含めて最初に投入した洗剤を後の本洗い工程で使用するため、洗剤が途中で少なくなることは、洗浄性能の低下を引き起こすことになるが、開口部5を開閉する蓋体13を設け、前記蓋体13によって開口部5が閉じられているときに洗剤液飛散手段18により洗剤液を飛散可能に構成したことにより、洗浄槽3を引き出した時に、霧化した洗剤液が洗浄槽3内に充満した洗剤液が、洗剤液飛散手段18から飛散した洗剤液と共に洗浄槽外に漏れ出すことがない。   In addition, since the detergent first introduced, including the detergent solution in the pretreatment process, is used in the subsequent main washing process, if the amount of detergent decreases in the middle, the cleaning performance will deteriorate, but the opening When the cleaning tank 3 is pulled out by providing the lid 13 that opens and closes 5 and configured to allow the detergent liquid to be scattered by the detergent liquid scattering means 18 when the opening 5 is closed by the lid 13. The detergent liquid filled in the washing tank 3 with the atomized detergent liquid does not leak out of the washing tank together with the detergent liquid scattered from the detergent liquid scattering means 18.

また、洗剤液飛散手段18は、飛散させる洗剤液を貯留する貯留部20と、前記高い濃度の洗剤液を飛散させる飛散部19とを備えたことにより、貯留部20で洗剤を溶解しながら洗剤液を生成させることができるため、高濃度の洗剤液を飛散させることができる。   Moreover, the detergent liquid scattering means 18 includes the storage part 20 for storing the detergent liquid to be scattered and the scattering part 19 for scattering the detergent liquid of high concentration, so that the detergent is dissolved in the storage part 20 while dissolving the detergent. Since a liquid can be produced | generated, a highly concentrated detergent liquid can be scattered.

また、洗浄槽3の内壁面に外側へ窪ませた凹部17を設け、前記凹部17に洗剤液飛散手段の少なくとも一部を収容したことにより、食器かご9から蓋体13までの高さ(食器収容高さ)を低くすることなく洗剤液飛散手段18を構成することができる。このためコップ等の背の高い食器の収納性を損なうことなく高い洗浄性能を得ることができる。   Moreover, the recessed part 17 recessed outside was provided in the inner wall surface of the washing tank 3, and the height (tableware) from the tableware basket 9 to the lid body 13 was accommodated in the recessed part 17 by accommodating at least a part of the detergent liquid scattering means. The detergent liquid scattering means 18 can be configured without reducing the (accommodating height). For this reason, high cleaning performance can be obtained without impairing the storage of tall dishes such as cups.

また、食器洗い機の本体1の前方に開口部2を設け、前記開口部2を洗浄槽3の前面パネルにより閉塞可能に構成するとともに、前記洗浄槽3の前面パネルまたはその近傍に洗剤液飛散手段18の少なくとも一部を設けているため、食器収容面積を狭くすることがない。よって、食器容量はそのままで高い洗浄性能を得られる食器洗い機とすることができる。   In addition, an opening 2 is provided in front of the main body 1 of the dishwasher, and the opening 2 is configured to be closed by a front panel of the washing tub 3, and a detergent liquid scattering means is disposed on or near the front panel of the washing tub 3. Since at least a part of 18 is provided, the tableware storage area is not reduced. Therefore, it can be set as the dishwasher which can obtain high washing performance with the tableware capacity as it is.

また、洗剤を投入する貯留部20を本体1の前方に配置することで、洗剤投入を容易に行うことができ、使い勝手のよい食器洗い機とすることができる。   In addition, by disposing the storage unit 20 into which the detergent is placed in front of the main body 1, the detergent can be easily put in, and a dishwasher that is easy to use can be provided.

また、洗剤液飛散手段18は、超音波発振子を用いて高濃度の洗剤液を微粒化して霧化するため、高濃度の洗剤液を食器と食器のわずかな隙間にも十分入り込ませることができる。また、食器に付着した汚れに対しても均一に、かつ汚れ表面の凹部の底までムラなく付着させることができる。   Moreover, since the detergent liquid scattering means 18 atomizes and atomizes the high-concentration detergent liquid using an ultrasonic oscillator, the high-concentration detergent liquid can sufficiently enter the slight gap between the dishes. it can. Moreover, it can be made to adhere uniformly to the bottom of the concave portion on the dirt surface even with dirt attached to the tableware.

また、洗浄槽3内に空気の流れを作る流動手段を設け、前記流動手段により洗剤液を被洗浄物に付着させる構成としたことにより、飛散させた高濃度の洗剤粒子が形状の複雑な食器の表面により均一に付着させることができるため、付着ムラを低減することができる。   Further, by providing a flow means for creating an air flow in the cleaning tank 3 and having the detergent liquid adhere to the object to be cleaned by the flow means, the scattered high-concentration detergent particles have a complicated shape. Therefore, uneven adhesion can be reduced.

また、洗浄槽内に空気の流れを作る流動手段を設け、前記流動手段により高濃度の洗剤液を被洗浄物に付着させる構成としたことにより、飛散させた高濃度の洗剤粒子がより均一、広範囲に食器の表面に付着させ、付着量の増大と付着ムラを低減することができる。   Further, by providing a flow means for creating a flow of air in the cleaning tank, and a structure in which a high-concentration detergent liquid is adhered to the object to be cleaned by the flow means, the scattered high-concentration detergent particles are more uniform. It can be adhered to the surface of tableware over a wide range, and the amount of adhesion and adhesion unevenness can be reduced.

なお、本実施の形態では、空気の対流をヒータにより引き起こして高濃度の洗剤液を均一に食器に付着させる構成としたが、他にも送風機を用いて洗浄槽3内の空気を循環させて洗浄槽3内に空気の流れを起こして均一に飛散させる方法も考えられる。   In the present embodiment, the convection of air is caused by a heater so that a high-concentration detergent solution is uniformly attached to the tableware. However, the air in the washing tub 3 is circulated using a blower. A method is also conceivable in which an air flow is caused in the cleaning tank 3 to be uniformly scattered.

また、洗浄槽3に供給した水を洗浄ノズル8により噴射し、被洗浄物に付着した洗剤液を洗浄ノズル8により噴射した水に溶解させるようにしたことにより、一種類の洗剤から高濃度の洗剤液を作って汚染物に対して噴霧して汚れの分解や溶解等を促進させ、その後も水を加えることで洗剤液濃度を所定の濃度にして洗浄するため、洗剤の有効利用を図るとともに、通常では取れない汚れの洗浄を可能とするなど、飛躍的に高い洗浄性能を安価に実現することができる。   Further, water supplied to the cleaning tank 3 is sprayed by the cleaning nozzle 8, and the detergent liquid adhering to the object to be cleaned is dissolved in the water sprayed by the cleaning nozzle 8, so that a high concentration can be obtained from one type of detergent. A detergent solution is made and sprayed on the contaminants to promote the decomposition and dissolution of dirt, and after that, the detergent solution is washed to a predetermined concentration by adding water. Therefore, it is possible to realize a drastically high cleaning performance at a low cost, such as making it possible to clean dirt that cannot normally be removed.

また、洗浄ノズル8から噴射する洗浄水は、洗浄槽3に供給した所定量の水に被洗浄物に付着した洗剤液を溶解して所定の濃度となるようにしたことにより、洗剤液の噴霧後も引き続き通常洗浄用濃度の洗剤液を容易に作れるため、前処理工程で浮かした汚れを確実に洗浄することができる。また、洗剤の有効利用により少ない使用量で高い洗浄性能を得られる。   Further, the cleaning water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 8 is sprayed with the detergent liquid by dissolving the detergent liquid adhering to the object to be cleaned in a predetermined amount of water supplied to the cleaning tank 3 so as to have a predetermined concentration. Since the detergent solution having the normal washing concentration can be easily made subsequently, the dirt floating in the pretreatment process can be surely washed. Moreover, high cleaning performance can be obtained with a small amount of use due to effective use of the detergent.

なお、本実施例では、封入の液体として蒸留水を入れているが、他に塩水等振動を伝播できる液体ならば他のものでもよい。さらに、不凍液を用いることで、低温環境化でも動作することが可能となる。また、界面33として振動しやすい樹脂で構成しているが、超音波発振子の能力により金属で構成しても発振さえすれば何ら問題はない。   In this embodiment, distilled water is used as the sealed liquid, but any other liquid that can propagate vibration such as salt water may be used. Furthermore, by using antifreeze, it is possible to operate even in a low temperature environment. Further, although the interface 33 is made of a resin that easily vibrates, there is no problem as long as it oscillates even if it is made of metal due to the ability of the ultrasonic oscillator.

また、本実施例では、蓋体13で洗浄槽3の開口部5を塞ぎ、かつ、開口部5を閉じているときに飛散させる構成と、洗剤液飛散手段18を貯水部20と飛散部19で構成したことと、洗浄槽3に凹部17を設けて洗剤液飛散手段18の少なくとも一部を収容することと、洗剤液の微粒化することと、流動手段により高濃度の洗剤液を被洗浄物に付着させる構成と、高濃度洗剤液を用いて次工程に用いる構成、ならびに所定量の洗剤を本洗い工程で用いる構成については、一体で実施する必然性はなく、各々独立して実施が可能である。   In the present embodiment, the lid 13 closes the opening 5 of the cleaning tank 3 and scatters when the opening 5 is closed, and the detergent liquid scattering means 18 includes the water storage unit 20 and the scattering unit 19. The cleaning tank 3 is provided with a recess 17 to accommodate at least a part of the detergent liquid splashing means 18, the detergent liquid is atomized, and the high-concentration detergent liquid is cleaned by the flow means. The structure that attaches to the object, the structure that uses a high-concentration detergent solution for the next process, and the structure that uses a predetermined amount of detergent in the main washing process are not necessarily integrated, and can be performed independently. It is.

以上のように、本発明にかかる食器洗い機は、高濃度の洗剤液を予め食器等の被洗浄物に噴霧した後、通常洗浄を行うもので、飛躍的に高い洗浄性能を得られる食器洗い機等として有用である。   As described above, the dishwasher according to the present invention performs normal washing after spraying a high-concentration detergent solution on an object to be washed such as dishware in advance, and a dishwasher that can obtain a remarkably high washing performance. Useful as.
