When the cleaning process is completed, the circulation pump 11 is stopped, and the drain pump 10 is activated to discharge the dirty cleaning water in the cleaning chamber 2 to the outside through the drain pipe 9. When the drainage is finished, the blower 16 is operated to forcefully blow the outside air flowing in from the outside air intake port 17 into the washing chamber 2 through the air passage 18 and the communication port 19.
During this time, the inside of the washing cabinet 2 is heated to a predetermined temperature by the heater 21, and the introduced outside air is discharged to the outside from the exhaust path 20 while absorbing the moisture in the tableware 23. This action continues until the tableware 23 is completely dried.

[Function] When the cleaning is completed and the drying process is started, the blower is activated, and the damper is pushed toward the cleaning chamber by the wind pressure to open the communication port. When the drying process is finished, the damper returns to its original state due to its own weight and closes the communication port. Therefore, water vapor generated from the cleaning water during cleaning is blocked by the damper and does not enter the air passage.

[Embodiment of the Invention] FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a main part of an embodiment of the invention. Note that the same or corresponding parts as in the conventional example shown in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted. Reference numeral 24 denotes a damper for preventing water vapor generated from cleaning water from flowing back into the air passage 18 during cleaning, and is provided at a position covering the communication port 19. 25 is a hinge that rotatably supports the damper 24 by the upper side wall 2a of the washing chamber, and 26 is a stopper that prevents the damper 24 from rotating toward the air passage 18 side.
Note that the damper 24 is installed at a position such that the water supply level a during cleaning is below the damper 24.

Next, the operation of the present invention configured as described above will be explained. As shown in the figure, in the normal state, the damper 24 blocks the communication port 19 as shown by the solid line, so water vapor generated from the cleaning water during cleaning does not enter the ventilation path 18 through the communication port 19. do not have. When the cleaning process is completed and the drying process begins, the blower 16 is activated to blow air into the air passage 18. Therefore, the damper 24 is pushed toward the washing chamber 2 by the wind pressure as shown by the broken line, the communication port 19 is opened, and air is blown into the washing chamber 2. The air injected at this time is pushed downward by the damper 24, so it can efficiently hit the heater 21.
Heated more effectively. When the drying process is completed and the blower 16 is stopped, the damper 24 rotates due to its own weight and closes the communication port 19 again.
