Description of the Related Art In a dishwasher / dryer, tableware is accommodated in a washing / drying chamber which can be freely sealed, and tap water is introduced into the chamber to collect water in a storage tank at the bottom of the washing / drying chamber. Then, the washing pump is operated to suck the stored water, and the nozzle is disposed in the washing and drying chamber, and the water is vigorously jetted to the tableware. As a result, the dirt attached to the tableware flows down with the water. Food debris mixed into the runoff water is collected by a metal mesh filter, and the water returns to the storage tank and is circulated for use.

At the bottom of the washing / drying chamber, a heater composed of a seed wire or the like is provided. By operating a fan, outside air is taken into the washing and drying chamber through an air inlet provided on the rear and top surfaces of the housing, and the taken air is heated by the heater. The heated air evaporates the moisture attached to the dishes, and discharges warm air containing water vapor to the outside through an exhaust port. Generally, this exhaust port is provided on the front or top surface of the housing.

No. 12 discloses a configuration in which air discharged from a washing / drying chamber of a dishwasher is guided to a drain pipe. According to such a configuration, it is possible to reliably prevent the odor from diffusing into the room. However, this requires plumbing work, so it is relatively easy to realize with commercial equipment and so-called built-in type household equipment, but cost reduction is required with stationary equipment widely used in ordinary households. From the practicality was poor.

除去され、乾いた空気が脱臭手段に到達する。Although the air in the washing and drying chamber contains a large amount of water vapor during drying, the deodorizing performance of a deodorizing means such as an activated carbon filter deteriorates when water permeates. Therefore, in the dishwasher / dryer of the present invention, it is preferable to provide a water blocking means for preventing water from entering before the deodorizing means in the exhaust path. The water blocking means may be, for example, an air passage having a labyrinth structure. When air containing water vapor enters such a ventilation path, most of the water vapor is condensed and removed, and the dry air reaches the deodorizing means.

The water sucked from the water is sent to the nozzle arm 4 and the water sucked from the drain port 8 of the water storage tank 6 is drained at the time of drainage.
Discharge to the outside through 1. On the other hand, water supplied from outside via the water supply valve 12 is poured into the cleaning chamber 2 from a water supply port 13 provided behind the cleaning chamber 2. A water level detection chamber 14 having a float (not shown) for detecting the water level in the cleaning chamber 2 is disposed behind the cleaning chamber 2, and the water in the cleaning chamber 2 passes through a communication port (not shown). Water level detection room 1
Also flows into 4. Further, a loop-shaped sheath is provided at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 2 to make a large orbit around the rotation axis of the nozzle arm 4 to warm the cleaning water and the rinsing water and to raise the temperature of the air in the cleaning chamber 2 during drying. A heater 15 is provided.

除去されて貯水槽６に循環する。When washing dishes using the dishwasher, the user stores the dishes in a dish basket (not shown).
The door 3 is opened and the dish basket is set in the washing room 2. When cleaning is started, the water supply valve 12 is opened, and a predetermined amount of water is stored in the bottom of the cleaning chamber 2 and the water storage tank 6. This water is heated to a predetermined temperature (usually about 60 ° C.) by the sheath heater 15. When the washing / draining pump 10 is driven, the washing / draining pump 10 sucks hot water from the circulation port 7 of the water storage tank 6 and sends it out to the nozzle arm 4. The water rushes out of the small-diameter injection hole 5, and the nozzle arm 4 rotates by the reaction of the water injection. As a result, the water hits the tableware and flows down to the bottom of the washing chamber 2, and solids are removed by the filter 9 and circulated to the water storage tank 6.

行なえる。When the washing for a predetermined time (about 10 minutes) is completed, the washing / draining pump 10 discharges the water sucked from the drain port 8 of the water storage tank 6 to the drain hose 11 and discharges the water at the bottom of the washing chamber 2. I do. Then, the water supply valve 12 is opened, clean water for rinsing is newly introduced into the cleaning chamber 2, and rinsing is performed for about one minute in the same manner as in the cleaning. After rinsing with water is repeated two or three times, water is introduced into the cleaning chamber 2, and the water is heated to a temperature of about 70 to 80 ° C. by the sheath heater 15. Then, final rinsing is performed with the hot water. This allows for sterilization of tableware,
Since the dishes are warmed, quick drying can be performed at the next drying operation.

And a gap is formed only between the notch 43 and the inner face plate 30. This gap serves as an exhaust introduction port opened on the lower surface of the exhaust port cover 40. The inclined rib 33 formed on the inner surface plate 30 and the inclined rib 4 of the exhaust port cover 40 are formed.
4 are alternately loosely fitted with each other, so that the exhaust introduction port and the exhaust port 32 communicate with each other to form a narrow and tortuous ventilation path (that is, a ventilation path having a labyrinth structure). You. The first and second deodorizing members 46 and 47 are located on the outlet side of the ventilation path.

分が除去される。During the drying operation, when warm air containing a large amount of water vapor enters the air passage through the exhaust inlet, the warm air contacts the inner wall of the air passage (inclined ribs 33, 44, etc.) and is cooled, and the water vapor is condensed. Condensation. Condensed water is inclined ribs 33, 4
4 and drops down on the inner wall surface of the vertical edge 42 below the exhaust port cover 40. Since the lower wall of the vertical edge 42 is gently downwardly inclined from both sides toward the notch 43, the water reaches the notch 43, that is, the exhaust inlet, from which water drops into the cleaning chamber 2. Thus, a large amount of water vapor contained in the exhaust gas is removed while passing through the ventilation path having the labyrinth structure, and is in a dry state when it reaches the first and second deodorizing members 46 and 47. The dried exhaust gas passes through the first and second deodorizing members 46 and 47. At this time, after various odor components are collected and removed by the activated carbon, the exhaust gas is discharged from the exhaust port 34 of the exhaust port 32 to the outside. Is discharged.
Since the exhaust gas is dry as described above, the pores of the activated carbon are less likely to be clogged by steam, and the malodorous component is efficiently removed.
