Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、キッチン等の所定の空間に設置する食器洗い機の台枠に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の台枠を備えた食器洗い機は、図５に示すように構成していた。以下、その構成について説明する。
【０００３】
図に示すように、食器洗い機本体１は内部に洗浄槽２を設けており、台枠３により載置支持され、前面に開閉自在な扉４を設け、キッチン等の所定の空間５に設置している。台枠３は、下部に食器洗い機本体１の高さを調整するためのねじ部を有する４本の脚６を支持部７にねじ接合し、前方部に蹴込み板材８を固定するねじ部材９を雌ねじ部１０にねじ接合している。
【０００４】
脚６のねじを緩め、あるいは締め込むことにより、食器洗い機本体１の蹴込み高さを設置するキッチンの蹴込み高さに合うように調整し、また、ねじ部材９を緩め、あるいは閉め込むことにより、蹴込み板材８を固定する前後方向の位置を設置するキッチンの蹴込み位置に合うように調整するようになっている。
【０００５】
また、蹴込みの前後方向の調整代はキッチンの種類により異なり、３０ｍｍ以上を必要とする。このため、蹴込み板材５を取り付けたねじ部材９を支持できるように雌ねじ部１０を確保している。この雌ねじ部１０は、金型成型時に台枠３の前方より回転体を用いて形成される。
【０００６】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このような従来の構成では、蹴込みの前後調整機能を付加するために、台枠３を成形する金型は、基本形状を形成する上下方向の抜き以外に、雌ねじ部１０を形成する回転体を、回転させながら前方へ引き抜く工程が必要となる。この場合、回転体を先に引き抜き、完全に抜けきった後、上下方向の解放をする必要があり、成形サイクルが長くなる。
【０００７】
また、金型には、回転体を駆動させるモータの配設部と、ねじ部材９を支持できる程度のストロークが必要となるため、非常に大きな金型と、これを搭載するだけの大きな成形機が必要となる。
【０００８】
以上により、台枠３に蹴込みの前後方向調整機能を付加することにより、成形コストが高く、生産性が悪くなるという問題があった。
【０００９】
本発明は上記課題を解決するもので、金型に雌ねじ部を形成する回転体を必要とせず、簡単な上下方向の抜きのみで、ねじ部材を螺合できる形状を形成し、蹴込みの前後調整機能を付加しつつ、安価で、生産性の良い台枠を提供することを目的としている。
【００１０】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記目的を達成するために、食器洗い機本体を載置支持する台枠であって、その前方部に蹴込み板材を固定するねじ部材の谷径部とそれぞれ当接して螺合し、ねじ部材を回転させることによりねじ部材を前後に移動できるように、奥行き方向にねじ部材のねじピッチに合わせてずらせて左右一対設けられた、それぞれの内側端面を直線状とした板状部と、板状部の前方にねじ部材の外周部と当接する円筒状の内壁面を有する円筒部と、板状部の後方にねじ部材の上端と当接する当接部とを一体形成したものである。
【００１１】
これにより、金型に雌ねじ部を形成する回転体を必要とせず、簡単な上下方向の抜きのみで、ねじ部材を螺合できる形状を形成することができ、蹴込みの前後調整機能を付加しつつ、安価で、生産性の良い台枠を提供することができる。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の請求項１に記載の発明は、食器洗い機本体を載置支持する台枠であって、その前方部に蹴込み板材を固定するねじ部材の谷径部とそれぞれ当接して螺合し、前記ねじ部材を回転させることにより前記ねじ部材を前後に移動できるように、奥行き方向に前記ねじ部材のねじピッチに合わせてずらせて左右一対設けられた、それぞれの内側端面を直線状とした板状部と、前記板状部の前方に前記ねじ部材の外周部と当接する円筒状の内壁面を有する円筒部と、前記板状部の後方に前記ねじ部材の上端と当接する当接部とを一体形成したものであり、金型に雌ねじ部を形成する回転体を必要とせず、簡単な上下方向の抜きのみで、ねじ部材を螺合できる形状を形成することができ、蹴込みの前後調整機能を付加しつつ、安価で、生産性の良い台枠を提供することができる。
【００１３】
また、蹴込みの前後調整後に、蹴込み板材がその重力によって傾くのを阻止することができる。
【００１４】
さらに、金型にストロークの小さいスライド機能を追加するだけで、ねじ部材の挿入性を向上することができる。
【００１５】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の一実施例について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、従来例と同じ構成のものは同一符号を付して説明する。
【００１６】
図１に示すように、食器洗い機本体１１を載置支持する台枠１２は、その前方部に蹴込み板材８を固定するねじ部材１３を螺合する保持部１４を複数個設けている。ねじ部材１３は、図２に示すように、ねじ部１５と、ねじ部１５と異なる先端部に蹴込み板材８を固定する蹴込み板固定部１６とで構成している。このねじ部１５は台形ねじとしている。
【００１７】
また、保持部１４は、図３に示すように、ねじ部材１３の谷径部と当接し、ねじ部材１３のねじピッチに合わせて配設した複数の板状部１７と、ねじ部材１３の山径部の上方と当接する上方当接部１８と、ねじ部材１３の山径部の外周と当接する円筒部１９とで構成している。板状部１７と上方当接部１８は、台枠１２を成形する金型の上下方向の抜きで形成され、円筒部１９は、前方へのストロークの小さいスライド機構により形成されている。
【００１８】
また、板状部１７は、図３（ｃ）に示すように、その水平方向での断面形状が、ねじ部材１３に対応する雌ねじと類似しており、１つの板状部１７は、ねじ部材１３の谷径の円周上の１点のみで当接するため、ねじ部材１３の回転に支障をきたさない。
【００１９】
上記構成において作用を説明すると、図４に示すように、ねじ部材１３のねじピッチに合わせて配設した複数の板状部１７は、その水平方向での断面形状が、ねじ部材１３に対応する雌ねじ形状と類似するため、ねじ部材１３を螺合できる。これにより、ねじ部材１３を回転することで、ねじ部材１３に設けた蹴込み板固定部１６を前後に移動することができるため、食器洗い機本体１１を設置するキッチン等の所定の空間５に合わせて、蹴込みの調整をすることができる。
【００２０】
また、図４（ａ）に示すように、上方当接部１８は、蹴込みの前後調整後に、蹴込み板材８がその重力によって傾くのを阻止することができる。
【００２１】
また、円筒部１９により、ねじ部材１３が板状部１７に案内されるため、ねじ部材１３の挿入性を向上することができる。
【００２２】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明の請求項１に記載の発明によれば、食器洗い機本体を載置支持する台枠であって、その前方部に蹴込み板材を固定するねじ部材の谷径部とそれぞれ当接して螺合し、前記ねじ部材を回転させることにより前記ねじ部材を前後に移動できるように、奥行き方向に前記ねじ部材のねじピッチに合わせてずらせて左右一対設けられた、それぞれの内側端面を直線状とした板状部と、前記板状部の前方に前記ねじ部材の外周部と当接する円筒状の内壁面を有する円筒部と、前記板状部の後方に前記ねじ部材の上端と当接する当接部とを一体形成したから、金型に雌ねじ部を形成する回転体を必要とせず、簡単な上下方向の抜きのみで、ねじ部材を螺合できる形状を形成することができ、蹴込みの前後調整機能を付加しつつ、安価で、生産性の良い台枠を提供することができる。
【００２３】
また、板状部の後方にねじ部材の上方と当接する当接部を設けたから、蹴込みの前後調整後に、蹴込み板材がその重力によって傾くのを阻止することができる。
【００２４】
また、板状部の前方にねじ部材の外周部と当接する円筒部を設けたから、金型にストロークの小さいスライド機能を追加するだけで、円筒部を設けることができ、この円筒部により、ねじ部材を板状部に案内できるため、ねじ部材の挿入性を向上することができる。
