Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front sectional view of a dishwasher to which a heating control method for washing water according to the present invention is applied. The dishwasher has a built-in washing tank 1 in which a dish basket 3 containing tableware 2 is arranged. A nozzle 4 is rotatably driven below the tableware basket 3, and a temperature sensor 5 and a heater 6 are provided in the washing tank 1.
Behind the washing tank 1, a water level detecting device 7 is provided.
Pumps 8 are provided at the lower portions of the pumps. By driving the pump 8, the washing water is blown upward through the nozzle 4, so that the tableware 2 is washed and rinsed. Reference numeral 9 denotes a control device, which receives detection signals from the temperature sensor 5 and the water level detection device 7,
Output signals are sent to the heater 6, the pump 8, a water supply / drainage device (not shown) and a motor for driving the nozzle.

Here, the heating control of the washing water by the dishwasher will be described with reference to the graphs of FIGS. 2 and 3 and the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, in the dishwashing, when the power is turned on in step S1, water supply is started in step S2. Then, in step S3,
It is determined whether or not the washing water has been supplied to the minimum amount that can be circulated by the pump 8, that is, 2 of the full water level. However, the value of / differs depending on the capacity and shape of the cleaning tank, the driving capability of the pump 8, and the like. When the water is supplied to 2/3 in this way, the water supply is temporarily stopped in step S4.

Next, at step S5, the heater 6, the pump 8
By energizing the motor and raising the temperature of the washing water, the nozzle 4 is rotated, and the washing water is blown upward from the nozzle. Then, in a step S6, it is determined whether or not the set temperature (60 ° C.) has been reached. The heater 6
Since the amount of cleaning water is smaller than in the conventional heating, the temperature can reach a predetermined temperature (approximately 40 ° C.) in which the cleaning ability with the cleaning water is significantly improved in a short time.

Thereafter, in step S12, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the cleaning. At the time when the predetermined time has elapsed, the power supply to the heater 6, the pump 8, and the motor is stopped, thereby completing the process. As described above, in the dishwashing, since effective washing is performed in a state of 2/3 water supply, in the graph of FIG. 2, the conventional change (shown by a dotted line) and the change of the present application (shown by a solid line). As is apparent from the comparison with the above, it was possible to shorten the cleaning time until the completion of the cleaning in the full water state for about 5 minutes.

If the cleaning tank 1 is preheated by the surface heater 10 before water injection, the cleaning water will not be cooled even when the temperature of the cleaning tank is lowered in winter or the like. Also, if the cleaning water is indirectly heated by the surface heater 10 via the cleaning tank 1 during the water injection, the heating of the cleaning water can be performed more effectively than in the related art.

Thereafter, when a full state is detected based on a detection signal from the water level detector 7, the cleaning water is directly heated by switching the energization from the surface heater 10 to the heater 6 installed in the cleaning tank 1. . This is because the total amount of current supplied to the surface heater 10 and the heater 6 is determined, and it is more efficient to directly heat the cleaning water by the heater 6.
