Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dish dryer that dries dishes and the like using hot air from a heater.

BACKGROUND ART In general, there is a demand for dish dryers to be able to store and dry cutting boards in addition to tableware.For this reason, in conventional dish dryers, when storing and drying cutting boards, for example, the fourth As shown in the figure, place a cutting board 102 on the tableware storage 101 provided in the tableware drying room 100 without placing any dishes, or freeze the amount of tableware stored and arrange them so that the top is as flat as possible. A cutting board was placed directly on top of it to dry it.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in this storage and drying method, the cutting board takes up the storage space, which limits the storage amount of tableware that should be dried. However, there were problems in that the dishes were broken, and the cutting board covered the dishes, which impeded the flow of hot air and made it difficult to dry the dishes.

Therefore, the present invention takes into consideration the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a storage space for drying cutting boards without interfering with the hot air flow for drying.
The purpose is to install the tableware in such a way that there is no problem in putting in and taking out tableware.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a vertically movable shelf board on the upper part of the main body case.

Function: With this configuration, if you move the shelf board upwards, the shelf board will no longer be used for storing tableware, and if you move the shelf board downwards, you can place a cutting board, etc. on top of this shelf board. .

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a heater box containing a heater 2, which is provided at the lower part of a main body case 4, and a hot plate 3 is provided on the heater box 1. An intake port 4a is provided on the bottom surface of the main body case 4, and an intake port 6 is provided on the bottom surface of the heater box 1. Reference numeral 6 indicates an exhaust port provided on both sides of the main case 40, and 7 indicates a dish drying chamber composed of the left and right sides, the top surface, the rear surface, and the heating plate 3 of the main case 4, and a lid 8 provided on the front surface so as to be openable and closable. ,9
1 is a first tableware storage basket arranged in the tableware drying chamber 7;
0 indicates a second tableware storage basket, and 11 is a cutting board rack on which a cutting board 12 is placed on top of the second tableware storage basket 10; It is locked in the upper space of the dish drying chamber 7 by a locking lip 14 after the locking lip 13°. In addition, cutting board shelf 1
As shown in FIG. 2, 1 is formed in a lattice shape, and has mounting notches 16 and front leg portions 17 that are partially cut out at the front of the left and right sides 16, and further protrudes from the rear for holding. The front leg portion 17 of the mounting notch 16 and the retaining lip 18 are each provided with a front locking lip 13. It is arranged at a position where it engages with the rear locking rib 14. The rear locking lip 14 consists of a lower locking part 14a and an upper locking part 14b, and when the cutting board shelf 11 is located at the bottom, the cutting board shelf

a, and is held so as to be inserted into the front locking rib 13 of the mounting notch 16ij, creating a space sufficient to store and dry the cutting board 12 between the inside of the top surface of the main body case 40 and the cutting board shelf 11. . In addition, as shown in FIG.
Similarly, the front leg portion 17 is positioned at the front locking lip 13.
When placed in the upper position, the cutting board shelf 11 is further held above the dish drying chamber.

In the above configuration, when the heater 2 is energized, the air in the dish drying chamber generates an upward current, passes through the dish storage basket 9, 10 and the cutting board shelf 11, and is discharged from the exhaust port 6. During this time, wet items such as dishes are heated to evaporate the moisture and dry them, which expands the space available for storing dishes, making it possible to store taller dishes or more dishes. .

As described above, according to this embodiment, by providing the vertically movable cutting board shelf 11 in the upper space of the dish drying room, when storing and drying the cutting boards 12, the cutting board shelf 11 can be moved to the lower part. First tableware storage basket9. Second
Since the tableware is stored in the tableware storage basket 10 and each tableware is stored and dried separately, there is no reduction in the amount of tableware stored, and the cutting board 12 is not placed directly on top of the tableware, thereby reducing the flow of hot air. It doesn't make it worse. Further, when the cutting board 12 is not stored, the cutting board shelf 11 can be moved to the upper level, so a large space can be secured between the cutting board and the second tableware basket, and it is also easier to put in and take out the tableware.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, the present invention allows the storage of tableware to be dried even when the cutting board is stored and dried, without limiting the storage amount of tableware to be dried, as in the case where the cutting board is not stored. You can store and dry cutting boards at the same time as storing and drying dishes without causing damage or obstructing the flow of hot air.Furthermore, the shelves can be moved upwards when not in use, allowing you to easily store and dry tableware. The space between the storage compartment and the storage compartment can be increased, which improves usability and has a great practical effect.
