The main vertical wire members 25a and 25b are arranged with an equal length and perpendicular to the main horizontal wire members 24a and 24b at a predetermined interval, and are formed in a substantially L shape by joining the end portions thereof. Yes.

そして、主縦線材２５ａ，２５ｂの内側（図の左側）に所定の間隔で補助線材２６ａ，２６ｂを配置し、主縦線材２５ａと補助線材２６ｂとの間において、奥行方向に所定の間隔で補助線材２７ａ〜２７ｅを接合して格子状に形成する。なお、この場合、補助線材２７ｂと２７ｃ、２７ｄと２７ｅの間を、収納される洗浄対象物（例えば、茶碗６１ａなど）を保持できる間隔とする。   And auxiliary wire 26a, 26b is arrange | positioned by the predetermined space | interval inside main vertical wire 25a, 25b (left side of a figure), and it assists with the predetermined space | interval in the depth direction between the main vertical wire 25a and the auxiliary wire 26b. Wires 27a to 27e are joined to form a lattice. In this case, the interval between the auxiliary wires 27b and 27c and 27d and 27e is set to an interval that can hold the object to be cleaned (for example, the tea bowl 61a).

また、補助線材２７ｂと２７ｅに、複数の傾斜線材２８ａ，２８ｂの傾斜片を所定の間隔で、かつ上部を互いに離れる方向に傾斜させて接合すると共に、補助線材２７ｃと２７ｄの間に正面ほぼ台形状の保持線材２９を、傾斜線材２８ａ，２８ｂと対向して接合する。これにより、傾斜線材２８ａ，２８ｂと保持線材２９との間に、洗浄対象物の第１の収納部３０ａ，３０ｂがそれぞれ形成される。   Further, the inclined pieces of the plurality of inclined wire rods 28a and 28b are joined to the auxiliary wire rods 27b and 27e at a predetermined interval and the upper portions are inclined in directions away from each other, and the front surface is substantially between the auxiliary wire rods 27c and 27d. The holding wire 29 having a shape is bonded to the inclined wires 28a and 28b. Thereby, the 1st accommodating parts 30a and 30b of a washing | cleaning target object are formed between the inclined wire materials 28a and 28b and the holding | maintenance wire material 29, respectively.

３１ａ，３１ｂはＬ状線材で、第１の収納部３０ａ，３０ｂの一方の側（図の左側）において、収容される洗浄対象物（例えば、中皿や大皿）を保持できる間隔で、その短片の先端部を補助線材２６ｂに接合して長片を下方に位置させる。また、先端部が直角に折曲げられたＬ字状の補強線材３１ｃをＬ状線材３１ａの外側（Ｌ状線材３１ａと反対側）に配置して、その短片の先端部を補助線材２６ｂに接合すると共に、その折曲げ部をＬ字線材３１ａ，３１ｂの長片の先端部にそれぞれ接合する。   Reference numerals 31a and 31b denote L-shaped wires, which are short pieces at intervals that can hold the objects to be cleaned (for example, an inner plate or a platter) on one side (the left side in the figure) of the first storage portions 30a and 30b. The long piece is positioned below by joining the tip of the wire to the auxiliary wire 26b. Further, an L-shaped reinforcing wire 31c whose tip is bent at a right angle is disposed outside the L-shaped wire 31a (on the side opposite to the L-shaped wire 31a), and the tip of the short piece is joined to the auxiliary wire 26b. At the same time, the bent portions are respectively joined to the leading ends of the long pieces of the L-shaped wires 31a and 31b.

そして、複数の傾斜線材３２ａの傾斜片を所定の間隔で外側（補強線材３１ｃ側）に傾斜させてＬ状線材３１ａの長片に接合すると共に、水平片に長短を有する複数の傾斜線材３２ｂを、傾斜線材３２ａと対向しかつ上部が互いに離れる方向に傾斜させてＬ状線材３１ｂの長片に交互に接合し、その水平片を主横線材２４ａと２４ｂ又は２４ｂに接合する。これにより、傾斜線材３２ａと３２ｂとの間に、洗浄対象物の第２の収納部３３が形成される。   Then, the inclined pieces of the plurality of inclined wires 32a are inclined to the outside (reinforcing wire 31c side) at a predetermined interval and joined to the long pieces of the L-shaped wire 31a, and the plurality of inclined wires 32b having long and short horizontal pieces are attached. The inclined pieces are opposed to the inclined wire 32a and the upper portions are inclined in directions away from each other, and joined to the long pieces of the L-shaped wire 31b alternately, and the horizontal pieces are joined to the main horizontal wires 24a and 24b or 24b. Thereby, the 2nd accommodating part 33 of a washing | cleaning target object is formed between the inclined wire materials 32a and 32b.

また、主横線材２４ａ，２４ｂの間において、主縦線材２５ｂ及び傾斜線材３２ｂに、傾斜線材３４ａ，３４ｂの傾斜片を所定の間隔で、かつ上部を互いに離れる方向に傾斜させて接合すると共に、両傾斜線材３４ａ，３４ｂの間にこれらに対向して、収納される洗浄対象物（例えば、小皿など）を保持できる間隔で、正面ほぼ台形状の保持線材３５を接合する。これにより、傾斜線材３４ａ，３４ｂと保持線材３５との間に、洗浄対象物の第３の収納部３６ａ，３６ｂがそれぞれ形成される。３７ａ，３７ｂは第３の収納部３６ａ，３６ｂに対応して主横線材２４ｂに設けた門型のストッパ線材である。   In addition, between the main horizontal wires 24a, 24b, the main vertical wires 25b and the inclined wires 32b are joined with the inclined pieces of the inclined wires 34a, 34b being inclined at predetermined intervals and the upper portions being inclined away from each other. A front substantially trapezoidal holding wire 35 is joined between the two inclined wires 34a and 34b so as to be opposed to each other at an interval at which the object to be cleaned (for example, a small dish) can be held. Thereby, the 3rd accommodating parts 36a and 36b of a washing | cleaning target object are formed between the inclined wire materials 34a and 34b and the holding | maintenance wire material 35, respectively. 37a and 37b are gate type stopper wires provided on the main horizontal wire 24b corresponding to the third storage portions 36a and 36b.

３８ａは第３の収納部３６ａの外側（図の右側）において、両主横線材２４ａ，２４ｂの間に補助線材を接合して形成した、例えば、洗浄対象物である湯呑茶碗やコップなどを載置する載置部、３８ｂは主縦線材２５ａから外側に張出して形成した同様の載置部である。   38a is formed on the outer side (right side in the figure) of the third storage portion 36a by joining an auxiliary wire between the main horizontal wires 24a and 24b, for example, a teacup or a cup to be cleaned. The placement part 38b to be placed is a similar placement part formed by extending outward from the main vertical wire 25a.

このようにして、例えば茶碗６０ａや小皿などを収納する第１、第３の収納部３０ａ，３０ｂ，３６ａ，３６ｂが設けられた上かご２２と、上かご２２の一方の側においてこれより下方に形成され、例えば中皿や大皿６０ｂが収納される第２の収納部３３が設けられた下かご２３とにより、上下２段からなる食器かご本体２１が形成される。   In this way, for example, the upper basket 22 provided with the first and third storage portions 30a, 30b, 36a, 36b for storing the tea bowl 60a, the small plate, etc., and one side of the upper basket 22 below the upper basket 22 A table basket main body 21 having two upper and lower stages is formed by the lower basket 23 provided with the second storage portion 33 in which, for example, the middle dish or the large dish 60b is stored.

図４は小物かご４０の斜視図、図５はその前面側斜視図、図６は図４の側面図である。なお、図４、図５には箸を収納した場合が示してある。
この小物かご４０は、所定の間隔（この間隔は、例えば、上かご２２の補助線材２７ｃ，２７ｄの間隔より若干広く形成されている）で設けられた枠材４１ａ，４１ｂを有し、その一端（図６の左端部で、以下図の左側を前、右側を後という）と長手方向のほぼ中間部又はそれより後部側には、支持腕４２ａ，４２ｂと、これより長い支持腕４３ａ，４３ｂがそれぞれ立設されており、これら支持腕４２ａと４２ｂ、４３ａと４３ｂの上端部には、上かごの線材に嵌合して係止する係止部４４が設けられている。 4 is a perspective view of a small basket 40, FIG. 5 is a front perspective view thereof, and FIG. 6 is a side view of FIG. 4 and 5 show a case where chopsticks are stored.
The small basket 40 has frame members 41a and 41b provided at a predetermined interval (for example, the interval is formed to be slightly wider than the interval between the auxiliary wire members 27c and 27d of the upper cage 22). (At the left end of FIG. 6, the left side of the figure is referred to as the front and the right side as the rear) and the support arms 42a and 42b and the support arms 43a and 43b longer than the support arms 42a and 42b at the substantially intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction. The support arms 42a and 42b, and 43a and 43b are provided at their upper ends with a locking portion 44 that fits and locks the wire of the upper cage.

また、両枠材４１ａ，４１ｂの長手方向の前端部からほぼ中間部までの上下には、複数の円弧部が横方向に連続したほぼ波形形状の複数の第１の保持部４５ａ，４５ｂが、開口部を向き合わせて所定の間隔で交互に設けられて収納部４６を形成しており、収納部４６の上下の間隔は、太目の箸６１ａやスプーン部を横向きにした場合のスプーンの柄が挿入できるように選ばれている。
また、枠材４１ａ，４１ｂの長手方向のほぼ中間部より後部側の上面には、第１の保持部４５ａと同様の波形形状で、これより若干高く形成された複数の第２の保持部４７が、第１の保持部４５ａ，４５ｂの間隔より広い間隔で設けられており、下面は開放されている。なお、第１の保持部４５ａ，４５ｂ及び第２の保持部４７を、円弧部を横方向に連続してほぼ波形に形成した場合を示したが、円弧部に代えて、例えば、三角形、四角形、台形等の多角形のものを横方向に連続して第１、第２の保持部４５ａ，４５ｂ，４７を形成してもよい。４８は枠材４１ａ，４１ｂの後端部に設けたストッパである。 In addition, a plurality of first holding portions 45a and 45b having a substantially wavy shape in which a plurality of arc portions are continuously arranged in the horizontal direction are provided above and below from the front end portions in the longitudinal direction of both frame members 41a and 41b. The openings 46 are alternately arranged at predetermined intervals with the openings facing each other to form a storage portion 46, and the vertical space of the storage portion 46 is similar to the handle of the spoon when the thick chopsticks 61a and the spoon portion are turned sideways. Selected for insertion.
A plurality of second holding portions 47 formed on the upper surface of the frame members 41a and 41b on the rear side from the substantially middle portion in the longitudinal direction have the same waveform as the first holding portion 45a and are slightly higher than the first holding portion 45a. However, it is provided at a wider interval than the interval between the first holding portions 45a and 45b, and the lower surface is open. In addition, although the case where the 1st holding | maintenance part 45a, 45b and the 2nd holding | maintenance part 47 were formed in the substantially continuous waveform in the arc direction at the horizontal direction was shown, it replaced with an arc part, for example, a triangle, a square The first and second holding portions 45a, 45b, and 47 may be formed by continuously forming a polygonal shape such as a trapezoid in the horizontal direction. Reference numeral 48 denotes a stopper provided at the rear ends of the frame members 41a and 41b.

次に、上記のような食器かご２０を備えた食器洗浄機の作用を説明する。なお、食器かご２０は洗浄槽２内にセットされているものとする。
先ず、図４に示すように、小物かご４０の収納部４６に、例えば箸６１ａを汚れた部分を先にして１本ずつ横にして挿入する。このとき、後端部にはストッパ４８が設けられているので、箸６１が抜け出すことはない。なお、スプーンやフォークを洗浄する場合は、その柄を収納部４６に挿入してスプーン部やフォーク部を横向きにして収納部４６から露出させるようにしてもよく、あるいは、収納部４６の後部側から柄を挿入して横向きにしたスプーン部やフォーク部を第２の保持部４７の下に露出させるようにしてもよい。 Next, the operation of the dishwasher provided with the tableware basket 20 as described above will be described. It is assumed that the tableware basket 20 is set in the cleaning tank 2.
First, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, chopsticks 61 a are inserted side by side into the storage portion 46 of the small basket 40 one by one with the soiled portion first. At this time, since the stopper 48 is provided at the rear end portion, the chopsticks 61 will not come out. When washing a spoon or fork, the handle may be inserted into the storage portion 46 and exposed from the storage portion 46 with the spoon or fork sideways or the rear side of the storage portion 46. A spoon portion and a fork portion that are horizontally inserted by inserting a handle may be exposed under the second holding portion 47.

ついで、上蓋７を開放して、箸６１ａ等が収納された小物かご４０を、かご本体２１の上から下かご２３の第２の収納部３３を通して上かご２２の第１の収納部３０ａ，３０ｂの間に挿入し、その支持腕４２ａ，４２ｂ、４３ａ，４３ｂの係止部４４を、主縦線材２５ｂ及びこれと平行に設けた補助線材に嵌合して係止させる。これにより、小物かご４０はかご本体２１の上かご２２の下に取付けられる。このとき、小物かご４０は噴射ノズル１１の近傍に位置し、また、支持腕４３ａ，４３ｂは支持腕４２ａ，４２ｂより長いので、小物かご４０は後部側が下方に傾斜して取付けられる。なお、小物かご４０をあらかじめかご本体２０に取付けておき、あとから収納部４６に箸６１ａ等を収納してもよい。   Next, the upper lid 7 is opened, and the small basket 40 in which the chopsticks 61a and the like are stored passes from the top of the car body 21 through the second storage section 33 of the lower car 23 to the first storage sections 30a and 30b of the upper basket 22. The locking portions 44 of the support arms 42a, 42b, 43a, 43b are fitted and locked to the main vertical wire 25b and the auxiliary wire provided in parallel therewith. As a result, the small car 40 is attached below the upper car 22 of the car body 21. At this time, the small basket 40 is positioned in the vicinity of the injection nozzle 11 and the support arms 43a and 43b are longer than the support arms 42a and 42b, so that the small basket 40 is attached with its rear side inclined downward. The small basket 40 may be attached to the car body 20 in advance, and the chopsticks 61a and the like may be stored in the storage unit 46 later.

次に、第１の収納部３０ａ，３０ｂに例えば茶碗６０ａ等を、第２の収納部３３に例えば大皿等６７ｂをそれぞれ収納し、第３の収納部３６ａ，３６ｂに例えば小皿等を収納する。なお、必要に応じて、載置部３８ａ，３８ｂに湯呑茶碗やコップなどを、開口部を下にして載置する。
食器類６０等の収納が終ったときは上蓋７を閉じ、ロックする。 Next, for example, a tea bowl 60a and the like are stored in the first storage portions 30a and 30b, a platter and the like 67b are stored in the second storage portion 33, and a small plate and the like are stored in the third storage portions 36a and 36b, respectively. If necessary, a tea cup, a cup, or the like is placed on the placement portions 38a and 38b with the opening portion down.
When the storage of the tableware 60 and the like is finished, the upper lid 7 is closed and locked.

次に、開閉弁９を開いて給水口８から洗浄槽２内に給水し、貯水部５を含む深底部４ｂに洗浄水を貯水し、所定の時間経過（又は所定の水位に達した）ときは開閉弁９を閉じる。このとき、必要に応じて洗剤を投入してもよい。ついで、ヒータに通電して洗浄水を洗浄に適する温度に加熱し、通電を停止する。   Next, when the opening / closing valve 9 is opened to supply water into the cleaning tank 2 from the water supply port 8 and the cleaning water is stored in the deep bottom part 4b including the water storage part 5, and a predetermined time has elapsed (or a predetermined water level has been reached). Closes the on-off valve 9. At this time, a detergent may be added as necessary. Next, the heater is energized to heat the cleaning water to a temperature suitable for cleaning, and the energization is stopped.

次に、洗浄ポンプ１３を駆動して貯水部５内の温水（洗浄水）を噴射ノズル１１に圧送し、噴射ノズル１１を回転させながら噴射孔１２から食器類６０や箸６１ａ等に洗浄水を噴射し、これらを洗浄して洗浄工程が開始される。
このとき、小物かご４０は噴射ノズル１１に近接して位置しているので、第２の保持部４７の下に露出する箸６１ａ等の汚れ部分は効率よく洗浄される。 Next, the cleaning pump 13 is driven to supply hot water (cleaning water) in the water storage unit 5 to the injection nozzle 11, and the cleaning water is supplied to the dishes 60, chopsticks 61 a and the like from the injection hole 12 while rotating the injection nozzle 11. The cleaning process is started by spraying them and cleaning them.
At this time, since the small basket 40 is positioned in the vicinity of the injection nozzle 11, the dirty portion such as the chopsticks 61 a exposed under the second holding portion 47 is efficiently cleaned.

また、箸６１ａは軽いため噴流によって上方に飛び出すおそれがあるが、収納部４６は上部に第１、第２の保持部４５ａと４７が設けられているので、これらにより飛び出しを防止することができる。
さらに、第１の保持部４５ａ，４５ｂは上下に交互に設けられており、第２の保持部４７は上部だけに設けられているので、水抜けに支障を来たすことはない。 Further, since the chopsticks 61a are light, there is a possibility that the chopsticks 61a may jump out upward due to the jet flow. However, since the storage portion 46 is provided with the first and second holding portions 45a and 47 on the upper portion, it is possible to prevent jumping out. .
Furthermore, since the first holding portions 45a and 45b are alternately provided on the upper and lower sides and the second holding portion 47 is provided only on the upper portion, there is no hindrance to drainage.

また、小物かご４０は後部側が下方に傾斜しているので、小物かご４０や箸６１ａ等に向って噴射された洗浄水の大部分は飛散して上かご２２に収納された茶碗６０ａ等の洗浄に寄与し、一部は小物かご４０や箸６１ａ等に沿って後部側に流れて落下するので、洗浄水が溜ったり付着したりすることがない。
さらに、小物かご４０はかご本体２０に対して着脱自在に装着されるので、取外して洗浄することがきわめて容易であり、このため常に清潔に保つことができる。 Further, since the rear side of the small basket 40 is inclined downward, most of the washing water sprayed toward the small basket 40 or the chopsticks 61a is scattered to clean the tea bowl 60a and the like stored in the upper basket 22. Since a part flows along the small basket 40, the chopsticks 61a and the like and falls down, the washing water does not accumulate or adhere.
Further, since the small basket 40 is detachably attached to the car body 20, it is very easy to remove and clean, and therefore it can always be kept clean.

食器類６０等を洗浄した洗浄水は、洗浄槽２内を落下して貯水部５に集まり、洗浄ポンプ１３により再び噴射ノズル１１に送られ、食器類６０等を洗浄する。洗浄水はこのようにして循環し、食器類５０等の洗浄を繰り返えす。
このとき、循環している洗浄水には食器類６０等に付着していた残滓が混入するが、この残滓はフィルタ６により捕集される。
所定の時間が経過すると、洗浄ポンプ１３を停止すると共に排水ポンプ１４を駆動し、洗浄槽２内の洗浄水を排水管１５から外部に排出する。これにより洗浄工程が終了する。 The washing water that has washed the dishes 60 and the like falls in the washing tank 2 and gathers in the water storage unit 5 and is sent again to the spray nozzle 11 by the washing pump 13 to wash the dishes 60 and the like. The washing water circulates in this way, and the washing of the dishes 50 and the like is repeated.
At this time, residue that has adhered to the tableware 60 or the like is mixed into the circulating wash water, but this residue is collected by the filter 6.
When a predetermined time elapses, the cleaning pump 13 is stopped and the drain pump 14 is driven, and the cleaning water in the cleaning tank 2 is discharged from the drain pipe 15 to the outside. This completes the cleaning process.

次に、再び開閉弁９を開いて洗浄槽２内に給水し、ヒータによりすすぎに適した温度に加熱する。そして、洗浄ポンプ１３を駆動して噴射ノズル１３から食器類６０等に温水（すすぎ水）を噴射し、すすぎ工程を開始する。そして、一定時間経過したときは洗浄ポンプ１３を停止して排水ポンプ１４によりすすぎ水を排水する。ついで再び洗浄槽２に給水して加熱し、洗浄ポンプ１３を駆動して食器類５０等のすすぎを行う。このようなすすぎ工程は数回繰り返えされる。   Next, the on-off valve 9 is opened again to supply water into the cleaning tank 2 and heated to a temperature suitable for rinsing by a heater. Then, the cleaning pump 13 is driven to inject hot water (rinse water) from the injection nozzle 13 to the dishes 60 and the like, and the rinsing process is started. And when fixed time passes, the washing pump 13 is stopped and the rinse water is drained by the drain pump 14. Next, the cleaning tank 2 is again supplied with water and heated, and the cleaning pump 13 is driven to rinse the dishes 50 and the like. Such a rinsing process is repeated several times.

所定の時間経過してすすぎ工程が終ったときは、食器類６０等が乾燥するまで放置しておく。この場合、図示してないが筐体１内に温風送風機を設け、洗浄槽２内に温風を送風して食器類６０等を乾燥するようにしてもよい（乾燥工程）。
上記の洗浄槽２への給水及び加熱、洗浄工程、すすぎ工程、（乾燥工程）の一連の動作は、操作部で設定されてすべて自動的に行われる。
食器類６０等が乾燥したときは、上蓋７を開き、食器類６０等を取り出す。なお、小物かご４０に収納した箸６１ａ等は、小物かご４０を洗浄槽２から取り出して引き出してもよく、小物かご４０をそのままにして箸６１ａ等を取り出してもよい。 When the rinsing process is finished after a predetermined time has elapsed, the tableware 60 and the like are left to dry. In this case, although not shown in the figure, a hot air blower may be provided in the housing 1, and the hot dishes may be blown into the cleaning tank 2 to dry the dishes 60 and the like (drying step).
A series of operations of the water supply and heating to the cleaning tank 2, the cleaning process, the rinsing process, and the (drying process) are set by the operation unit and are automatically performed.
When the dishes 60 etc. are dried, the upper lid 7 is opened and the dishes 60 etc. are taken out. Note that the chopsticks 61a and the like stored in the small basket 40 may be taken out from the cleaning tank 2 and pulled out, or the small basket 40 may be left as it is and the chopsticks 61a and the like may be taken out.
