Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ファンヒータを内蔵し、食器を洗浄から乾燥まで行う食器洗浄乾燥機に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
図6および図7は、従来の食器洗浄乾燥機の概略を示す構成図で、図6は食器洗浄乾燥機を横から見た場合の断面図、図7は同じく正面から見た場合の断面図である。
【0003】
図6において、1は筐体2内に水密に設けられた洗浄タンク4へ水道水を導水する給水経路で、給水弁3によって導水の開閉が行われる。導水された水は、洗浄タンク4内部の貯水部5に貯水され、貯水部5に連通した水位センサ6によって所定の水位まで貯まる。貯水された水は、貯水部5に設けられたヒータ7で加熱されると共に、循環ポンプ8で加圧され、複数個設けられた洗浄ノズル9から食器かご10内の食器に向けて噴射され、食器が洗浄される。洗浄が終わると排水ポンプ11によって洗浄タンク4内の水が排出される。
【0004】
洗浄が終了すると乾燥工程に入る。12はファンヒータで、温風ヒータ13とファン14からなる。ファンヒータ12で発生した温風は送風路15を通り、送風出口20から食器かご10の食器に向けて吐出され、乾燥が行われる。通常、送風路15の送風出口20は、食器かご10のほぼ真後ろの洗浄タンク4後面に設けられる。
【0005】
16は食器かご10を出し入れする前ドア、17は前ドア16に設けられた排気口で、ファンヒータ12において発生した温風は最終的にはここから外部へ排出される。18は食器に付着していた残菜をこし取るフィルタである。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら前記従来の構成では、送風出口近傍で食器に直接温風を吹き付けるため食器が高温になりやすく、樹脂製食器などの場合は変形を生じることがあった。また、送風出口近傍の食器に温風が遮られて庫内の食器全体に温風が行き渡りにくくなり、食器の設置場所によっては乾きにくいなど乾燥むらが生じていた。また、食器洗浄乾燥機用のファンヒータは結露することがあり、その結果、ファンヒータに腐食などが生じファンヒータの寿命を長く維持することが難しいなどの課題を有していた。
【0007】
また、他の従来例として、洗浄タンク内にヒータを設け、送風路から送られてくる風でこのヒータの熱を洗浄タンク内に拡散するものがあるが、ヒータ上に食器が落下した場合や、輻射熱によって食器が損傷する課題がある。
【0008】
本発明は上記の課題を解決するもので、乾燥工程での食器の損傷を防ぐと共に乾燥むらをなくすことを第1の目的としている。第2の目的は、ファンヒータの寿命を長く維持することである。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記第1の目的を達成するために本発明は、送風路の送風出口を、食器かごより下方で、かつ、洗浄手段より上方の洗浄タンクの側面に配設したものである。
【0010】
これにより、食器が高温に過熱されるのを防ぎ、食器の損傷を防止するとともに、温風が庫内全体にむらなく行き渡り、食器かごへの設置場所に関わらず食器を乾燥することができる。
【0011】
また、第2の目的を達成するために本発明は、洗浄タンクに温風を送り込む送風路に、風圧によって風の順方向にのみ開くシャッター部材を設けるとともに、前記シャッター部材の近傍に結露水を貯水する貯水部を設けたものである。
【0012】
これにより、ファンヒータの結露防止が行われ、ファンヒータの寿命を長く維持することができる。
【0013】

【0019】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
【0020】
(実施例1)
図1および図2は、本発明の実施例1の食器洗浄乾燥機の概略を示す構成図で、図1は食器洗浄乾燥機を横から見た場合の断面図、図2は同じく正面から見た場合の断面図である。
【0021】
図1および図2において、1は筐体2内に水密に設けられた洗浄タンク4へ水道水を導水する給水経路で、給水弁3によって導水の開閉が行われる。導水された水は、洗浄タンク4内部の貯水部5に貯水され、貯水部5に連通した水位センサ6によって所定の水位まで貯まる。貯水された水は、貯水部5に設けられたヒータ7で加熱されると共に、循環ポンプ8で加圧され、洗浄タンク4内に複数設けられた洗浄手段としての洗浄ノズル9から、その上方に配設された食器かご10内の食器に向けて噴射され、食器が洗浄される。洗浄が終わると排水ポンプ11によって洗浄タンク4内の水が排出される。
【0022】
洗浄が済むと乾燥工程に入る。12はファンヒータで、温風ヒータ13とファン14を備えている。ファンヒータ12で発生した温風は送風路15を通り、食器かご10と洗浄ノズル9との間の高さで、洗浄タンク4の横側の側壁に位置させた送風路15の送風出口20から洗浄タンク4内に吐出される。吐出された温風は19に示すような風の流れとなって食器かご10に設置された食器を乾かすことになる。
【0023】
従って、送風出口20近傍で食器に直接温風を吹き付けることがないため、食器が高温になりにくく、樹脂製食器などでも変形を生じさせることはない。また、送風出口20近傍の食器に温風が遮られることなく、食器かご10の下方から洗浄タンク4内の食器全体に温風が行き渡るので、食器かご10への食器の設置場所によらず十分乾燥させることができ、乾燥むらが生じない。
【0024】
(実施例2)
図3は本発明の実施例2の食器洗浄乾燥機を正面から見た断面図である。基本的な構成および動作は実施例1と同様なので主に異なる部分について説明する。送風路15の送風出口20は洗浄タンク4の底部に向けられており、これによってファンヒータ12で発生した温風は21に示すような風の流れとなり、食器かご10の下方から洗浄タンク4内の食器全体に温風が行き渡る。
【0025】
実施例1と異なる効果は、食器かごと洗浄手段との間に適切な空隙が設けられない場合でも、食器かご10下方から洗浄タンク4内の食器全体に温風を当てることができる点にある。これにより、食器が高温にならないので食器に損傷を与えず、温風が庫内全体にむらなく行き渡り、設置場所に関わらず食器を乾燥することができる。
【0026】
(実施例3)
図4は本発明の実施例3の食器洗浄乾燥機を正面から見た断面図である。基本的な構成および動作は実施例1と同様なので主に異なる部分について説明する。図4に示すように、送風路15の送風出口20は洗浄タンク4の奥側の側面に複数設けられている。これによってファンヒータ12で発生した温風は22に示すような風の流れとなり、食器かご10下方から洗浄タンク4内の食器全体に温風が行き渡る。
【0027】
実施例1および2と異なる効果は、送風出口20が洗浄タンク4の奥側の側面に複数あることによって、幅の広い洗浄タンク4の場合でも、効率よく食器かご10下方から洗浄タンク4内の食器全体に温風を当てることができる点にある。
【0028】
なお、奥行きの深い洗浄タンクに対しては、送風出口20を洗浄タンクの左右いずれかの側面に複数設けても同様の効果が得られる。
【0029】
(実施例4)
図5は本発明の実施例4の食器洗浄乾燥機のファンヒータ22と送風路15の断面を部分的に示した説明図である。基本的な構成および動作は実施例1と同様なので主に異なる部分について説明する。図5に示すように、送風路15にはシャッター部材23が設けられており、これはファンヒータ12で発生する温風の風圧によりヒンジ24を中心として回動し風が通過するもので、ファンヒータ12が停止しているときには図5のように閉じた状態になっている。25はファン14を駆動するモータである。
【0030】
ファンヒータ12が停止しシャッター部材23が閉じた状態にあるとき、食器の洗浄を行うと洗浄タンク4内で加熱された水による蒸気が送風路15内に侵入するが、シャッター部材23により蒸気はファンヒータ12側へは行かない。このときシャッター部材23に至るまでの送風路15内部には蒸気による結露が生じるが、結露した蒸気はやがて水滴となり、貯水部26に貯水される。
【0031】
シャッター部材23と貯水部26が無ければ、結露した水滴の全てはシャッター部材23と送風路15との当接部からファンヒータ12側へ侵入することになり、ファンヒータ12に腐食が生じ寿命が短くなってしまう。また、図5に示すようにシャッター部材23を貯水部26側へ傾斜させることで結露水を効率よく貯水部26へ導くことができる。
【0032】
一方、シャッター部材23が構造上設けられない場合、送風路15内に侵入した蒸気はファンヒータ12で結露してしまうが、この結露を防止する方法として、食器の洗浄中にもファンヒータ12のヒータ部である温風ヒータ13に通電可能にしてやれば、ファンヒータ12の温度が上がり侵入した蒸気は結露しない。また、ファンヒータ12のファン14に通電し送風してやれば蒸気は送風路15から洗浄タンク4内へ送り返されファンヒータ12で結露しない。
【0033】
このように本実施例によれば、ファンヒータ12に結露水が付着することはなく腐食しない。従ってファンヒータ12の寿命を長く維持することができるものである。
【0034】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、本発明の請求項1〜3に記載の発明によれば、乾燥工程での食器の損傷を防ぐと共に、乾燥むらをなくすことができる。
【0035】
また、請求項4〜6に記載の発明によれば、ファンヒータの結露が防止でき、ファンヒータの寿命を長く維持することができる。

As a result, the hot air generated by the fan heater 12 flows as shown by 22 and the hot air spreads from below the tableware basket 10 to the entire tableware in the washing tank 4.
[0027]
The effect different from those of the first and second embodiments is that the ventilation outlets 20 are provided on the inner side surface of the washing tank 4, so that even in the case of the wide washing tank 4, the inside of the washing tank 4 can be efficiently placed from below the tableware basket 10. The point is that hot air can be applied to the entire tableware.
[0028]
Note that, for a washing tank having a large depth, the same effect can be obtained even if a plurality of air outlets 20 are provided on either the left or right side of the washing tank.
[0029]
(Example 4)
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram partially showing a cross section of the fan heater 22 and the air passage 15 of the dishwasher / dryer according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The basic configuration and operation are the same as those in the first embodiment, and therefore, different points will be mainly described. As shown in FIG. 5, a shutter member 23 is provided in the air passage 15.

[0030]
When the table heater is washed while the fan heater 12 is stopped and the shutter member 23 is in a closed state, steam generated by water heated in the washing tank 4 enters the air passage 15. It does not go to the fan heater 12 side. At this time, dew condensation due to steam occurs inside the air passage 15 up to the shutter member 23, but the dewed steam eventually becomes water droplets and is stored in the water storage unit 26.
[0031]
If the shutter member 23 and the water reservoir 26 are not provided, all of the condensed water droplets will enter the fan heater 12 side from the contact portion between the shutter member 23 and the air passage 15, and the fan heater 12 will be corroded and have a long life. It will be shorter. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, by inclining the shutter member 23 toward the water storage 26, the dew water can be efficiently guided to the water storage 26.
[0032]
On the other hand, if the shutter member 23 is not provided structurally, the steam that has entered the air passage 15 will be condensed by the fan heater 12. As a method for preventing this dew condensation, the fan heater 12 is not used even during washing of dishes. If the hot air heater 13 serving as a heater can be energized, the temperature of the fan heater 12 rises and the invading steam does not condense. Further, if the fan 14 of the fan heater 12 is energized and blown, the steam is sent back from the air passage 15 into the cleaning tank 4 and does not condense on the fan heater 12.
[0033]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, dew condensation water does not adhere to the fan heater 12 and does not corrode. Therefore, the life of the fan heater 12 can be maintained long.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the first to third aspects of the present invention, it is possible to prevent tableware from being damaged in the drying step and eliminate uneven drying.
[0035]
According to the inventions described in claims 4 to 6, dew condensation on the fan heater can be prevented, and the life of the fan heater can be maintained long.
