[0009] The embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, unnecessary details may be omitted. For example, detailed explanations of already well-known matters or redundant explanations of substantially identical configurations may be omitted.

[0010] The attached drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand this disclosure and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0011] (Embodiment 1) Embodiment 1 will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 8.

[0012] In the dishwasher according to Embodiment 1, at least a portion of the main body or washing tank is made of a transparent or translucent material. This gives the user a sense of openness. Furthermore, even if the dishwasher is installed near a window, natural light from the window can be allowed in.

[0013] However, when washing heavy tableware such as large plates in a dishwasher, if the tableware comes into contact with a transparent or translucent member, the transparent or translucent member may be damaged, which may impair the appearance.

[0014] To solve such problems, the dishwasher according to Embodiment 1 is provided with a protrusion on the placement part for placing the objects to be washed such as tableware in the washing tank, for supporting the objects to be washed so that they do not come into contact with a transparent or translucent member. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the transparent or translucent member from being damaged by the objects to be washed and the appearance from being impaired, and thus the convenience of the dishwasher can be improved.

[0015] [1-1. Configuration] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the dishwasher 40 according to Embodiment 1. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the dishwasher 40 with the door 3 opened. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional side view of the dishwasher 40.

[0016] The dishwasher 40 includes a main body 1, a washing tank 2, a door 3, an operation unit 5, and a water storage tank 6.

[0017] The main body 1 houses components such as a washing tank 2 for washing objects to be washed such as tableware.

[0018] The washing tank 2 has an upper washing tank 2-1 and a lower washing tank 2-2. A basket 4, which is an example of a placement part for placing the objects to be washed 10, is accommodated in the upper washing tank 2-1. A protrusion 4-1 for supporting the objects to be washed 10 is provided on the upper surface of the basket 4. Details of the protrusion 4- are described later. An injection nozzle 7 is provided in the lower washing tank 2-2. The injection nozzle 7 injects the water stored in the water storage tank 6 toward the objects to be washed 10.

[0019] The door 3 opens and closes the opening in the front of the main body 1 and the upper washing tank 2-1. The door 3 has a front door body 3-1 and a rear door body 3-2. A front door body transparent part 3-3 is provided at the central part of the front view of the front door body 3-1. A rear door body transparent part 3-4 is provided at the central part of the front view of the rear door body 3-2. Thereby, even when the door 3 is closed, the user can visually recognize the upper washing tank 2-1.

[0020] At the upper end of the rear door body 3-2, a rear door body switch pushing part 3-5 is provided. When the door 3 is closed, the rear door body switch pushing part 3-5 pushes the switch 9 through the switch lever 8 provided at the upper end of the front of the upper washing tank 2-1. Thereby, it is detected that the door 3 has been closed.

[0021] The water storage tank 6 stores the water supplied to the washing tank 2. The water storage tank 6 is detachably provided on the main body 1 below the washing tank 2.

[0022] Among the back surfaces of the main body 1, the main body back surface front transparent part 1-1 and the main body back surface rear transparent part 1-2 that form a part of the back surface of the upper washing tank 2-1 are formed of transparent or translucent members. Thereby, the user can also visually recognize the back side of the dishwasher 40, which can give the user a sense of openness. Also, when a window or the like is installed on the back side of the dishwasher 40, the daylighting from the window can be maintained. When the back surface of the upper washing tank 2-1 is configured separately from the main body 1, at least a part of the back surface of the upper washing tank 2-1 may also be formed of a transparent or translucent member. In addition to or instead of the back surface of the main body 1 or the washing tank 2, at least a part of the side surface or the top surface of the main body 1 or the washing tank 2 may be formed of a transparent or translucent member.

[0023] The operation unit 5 receives an instruction input from the user and transmits it to the control unit of the dishwasher 40. The control unit controls each component of the dishwasher 40 according to the instruction input.

[0024] Figure 4 is a perspective view of basket 4-1. Figure 5 is a plan view of basket 4. Figure 6 is a side view of basket 4. Figure 7 is a schematic side cross-sectional view of dishwasher 40 in which basket 4 is installed.

[0025] Multiple protrusions 4-1 are provided on the upper surface of the basket 4. The protrusions 4-1 include a first protrusion 4-1a, a second protrusion 4-1b, and a third protrusion 4-1c.

[0026] The first projection 4-1a is provided at the innermost part when the basket 4 is installed in the upper washing tank 2-1, that is, near the inner surface of the transparent part 1-2 on the back of the main body. Two first projections 4-1a are provided on both the left and right sides of the center of the front view of the basket 4. The heights of the two first projections 4-1a are approximately the same. If a transparent or translucent material is provided on a side other than the back of the main body 1 or washing tank 2, the projections 4-1a may be provided near the inner surface of the main body 1 or washing tank 2 where the transparent or translucent material is provided.

[0027] The second projection 4-1b is positioned slightly in front of the first projection 4-1a. Two second projections 4-1b are provided in front of the left first projection 4-1a, and two second projections 4-1b are provided in front of the right first projection 4-1a. The heights of the four second projections 4-1b are approximately the same. The height of the first projection 4-1a is greater than the height of the second projections 4-1b.

[0028] As shown in Figure 3, when the object to be washed 10, such as a large plate, is placed at the back of the basket 4, the second projection 4-1b supports the edge of the object to be washed 10 by gripping it, and the first projection 4-1a supports the side or bottom of the object to be washed 10 from the back. This allows the object to be washed 10 to be supported at four points so that it does not come into contact with the transparent part 1-2 on the back of the main body, thereby preventing the transparent part 1-2 on the back of the main body from being scratched and its appearance from being damaged by the object to be washed 10.

[0029] As shown in Figure 5, the distance A between the first projection 4-1a and the second projection 4-1b on the rear side is longer than the distance B between the second projection 4-1b on the rear side and the second projection 4-1b on the front side. A may be 1.5 times or more longer than B. For example, as shown in Figure 5, A may be 2.15 cm and B may be 1.0 cm. This allows the edge of the object to be cleaned 10 to be more securely held between the second projection 4-1b on the rear side and the second projection 4-1b on the front side, while the side or bottom surface of the object to be cleaned 10 can be supported by the first projection 4-1a, thus providing more stable support for the object to be cleaned 10. Furthermore, depending on the depth and height of the object to be cleaned 10, the object to be cleaned 10 can be supported by the first projection 4-1a and the second projection 4-1b on the rear side, or by the first projection 4-1a and the second projection 4-1b on the front side, so that objects to be cleaned 10 of various types and shapes can be supported.

[0030] The first projection 4-1a may be provided as a single projection near the center of the left and right second projections 4-1b. The first projection 4-1a may be provided as three or more projections. The second projections 4-1b may be provided as two projections near the center of the left and right first projections 4-1a. The second projections 4-1b may be provided as six or more projections.

[0031] As shown in Figure 7, the first projection 4-1a is provided such that the upper end of the first projection 4-1a is higher than the lower end of the transparent part 1-2 on the back of the main body. The first projection 4-1a may be provided such that the upper end of the first projection 4-1a is 1 cm or more, 1.5 cm or more, 2 cm or more, 2.5 cm or more, 3 cm or more, 3.5 cm or more, 4 cm or more, 4.5 cm or more, or 5 cm or more higher than the lower end of the transparent part 1-2 on the back of the main body. The height of the first projection 4-1a may be 1 to 5 cm from the lower end. The height of the first projection 4-1a may be 1.5 cm or more, 2 cm or more, 2.5 cm or more, 3 cm or more, 3.5 cm or more, 4 cm or more, or 4.5 cm or more from the lower end. The height of the first projection 4-1a may be 4.5 cm or less, 4 cm or less, 3.5 cm or less, 3 cm or less, 2.5 cm or less, 2 cm or less, or 1.5 cm or less from the lower end. For example, as shown in Figure 6, the height of the first projection 4-1a may be 2.5 to 2.6 cm from the lower end. This makes it possible to more reliably prevent the object to be cleaned 10 from coming into contact with the transparent part 1-2 on the back of the main body.

[0032] The third projection 4-1c is provided in front of the first projection 4-1a and the second projection 4-1b. Multiple third projections 4-1c may be provided at arbitrary intervals. The third projections 4-1c support the bottom surface, sides, top surface, edges, etc. of the object to be cleaned 10. The heights and spacing of the multiple third projections 4-1c may all be the same or different. In the former case, a large number of objects to be cleaned 10 of the same shape can be supported, increasing the number of objects to be cleaned 10 that can be cleaned at once. In the latter case, objects to be cleaned 10 of various types and shapes can be supported. The height of the third projection 4-1c may be lower than the height of the first projection 4-1a and higher than the height of the second projection 4-1b. For example, as shown in Figure 6, the height of the third projection 4-1c may be approximately 1.8 cm from the bottom end. The height of the first projection 4-1a may be 0.5 cm or more higher than the height of the third projection 4-1c. By placing the first projection 4-1a, which has the highest height, at the innermost position, it becomes easier to place the object to be washed 10 into the basket 4.

[0033] The first projection 4-1a, the second projection 4-1b, and the third projection 4-1c may have a tapered shape, with the upper part being narrower than the lower part. This makes it easier to remove the basket 4 from the mold when forming it with resin or the like, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the dishwasher 40.

[0034] As shown in Figure 7, the height of the ceiling inside the upper washing tank 2-1 on the side of the transparent section 1-2 on the back of the main body, i.e., the rear side, is higher than the height of the ceiling on the front side. This makes it possible to secure space at the rear of the upper washing tank 2-1 for placing tall items to be washed, such as large plates 10. In addition, when placing tall items to be washed, such as large plates 10, into the basket 4, it is possible to prevent the items to be washed 10 from coming into contact with the ceiling of the upper washing tank 2-1. Furthermore, the size of the dishwasher 40 can be reduced.

[0035] As shown in Figures 4 and 6, notches 4-2 are provided on both the left and right sides of the rear of the bottom surface of the basket 4, functioning as supported parts that fit or engage with the support parts provided on the upper washing tank 2-1. Figure 8 is an enlarged view of the area around the notches 4-2 when the basket 4 is installed in the upper washing tank 2-1. A protrusion 2-3 is provided on the upper surface of the upper washing tank 2-1, functioning as a support part for supporting the basket 4. When the basket 4 is installed in the upper washing tank 2-1, the protrusion 2-3 and the notches 4-2 fit together to fix the basket 4 in place. This prevents the basket 4 from moving in the front-to-back direction, causing the object to be washed 10 to tip over and damaging the transparent part 1-2 on the back of the main body. There are two protrusions 2-3 and two notches 4-2 on both the left and right sides. This prevents the basket 4 from wobbling in the up-and-down direction, causing the object to be washed 10 to tip over and damaging the transparent part 1-2 on the back of the main body.

[0036] [1-2. Operation] The operation and function of the dishwasher 40, configured as described above, will now be explained. The user opens the door 3 and places the items to be washed 10, such as dishes, into the basket 4 installed in the washing tank 2. The user sets the operating course using the control unit 5 and then starts the washing operation. The control unit of the dishwasher 40 executes the washing, rinsing, and drying processes in order based on the operating course.
