DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a kitchen counter constituting a sink according to the present invention. This kitchen counter 1 has a sink 2
The sink 2 has a drain port 3a on the inner bottom surface.
, A dishwashing tank 4 having a dishwashing function provided adjacent to the left and right (left side in the illustrated embodiment) of the sinktub 3, and an upper portion serving as a tableware entrance of the dishwashing tank 4. A cover 10 is provided to cover the opening 4a with a silicone packing 5 so that the opening 4a can be opened and closed in a watertight manner.

The lid 10 is rotated in the vertical opening and closing direction X by oil dampers 7, 7 supported by damper brackets 6, 6 as a pair of shaft support members fixed to the sink 2 at a distance from each other. It is movably and detachably assembled.

The lid 10 has a double structure of an upper plate 11 and a lower plate 12, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the upper and lower plates 11, 12 have rib-like structures. The baffle plates 11A and 12A are provided, respectively, and the ventilation path 13 is formed into a maze by the baffle plates 11A and 12A.

In addition, the intake opening 14 of the ventilation passage 13
When the lid is closed, it faces the inner area of the inner lower surface 10a corresponding to the tableware entrance 4a of the dishwashing tank 4, and the exhaust opening 15 is provided at the outer peripheral portion of the tableware entrance 4a of the dishwashing tank 4. , Which faces the sink tank 3 side, which is the outer area of the outer lower surface portion 10b, whereby the air in the dishwashing tank 4 is discharged to the outside when the dishwashing operation is performed with the lid closed. It is something that is possible.

In this case, the exhaust opening 1 of the ventilation passage 13
Reference numeral 5 denotes an opening at both sides of a mounting portion of a handle H for opening and closing the lid 10, and the upper and lower baffle plates 11 A and 12 A are formed by hanging from the lower surface of the upper plate 11. The upper and lower plates 11 and 12 are supported by a wall 11B so as not to contact each other.
Are brought into contact with the lower plate 12 via a packing 16, thereby maintaining a space between the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 12.

That is, by forming the ventilation path 13 formed in the lid 10 into a maze-like form with the baffle plates 11A and 12A, high-temperature hot water or hot air in the dishwashing tank 4 can squirt vigorously. In addition to preventing the washing water in the dishwashing tank 4 from being discharged to the sink tank 3 side, or the washing water in the sink tank 3 side from entering the dishwashing tank 4 side, the dishwashing during operation is also prevented. A noise reduction effect is achieved so that sound leaking from the inside of the tank 4 to the outside is reduced.

4 and 5, reference numeral 17 denotes a baffle plate provided in the intake opening 14 of the ventilation passage 13. The baffle plate 17 is a hot water blown from the dishwashing tank 4 during operation. Alternatively, the hot air is prevented from directly hitting the back surface of the upper plate 11, thereby preventing the upper surface of the lid 10 from becoming hot.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the internal structure of the lid 10 described above, in which a heat shield 18 is interposed between an upper plate 11 and a lower plate 15, and The heat shield plate 1 has a configuration in which rib-shaped baffle plates 12A and 18A are provided on the lower plate 12 and the ventilation path 13 is formed in a maze shape.
At 8, during operation, hot water or hot air spouting from the dishwashing tank 4 is prevented from directly hitting the back side of the upper plate 11, thereby preventing the upper surface of the lid 10 from becoming hot. It is supposed to.

4 to 6, reference numerals 19 and 20 are used.
Are storage bins provided at the intake opening 14 and the exhaust opening 15 of the ventilation passage 13 formed inside the lid 10, and foreign objects such as coins when the lid is opened by the storage bins 19 and 20. It is designed to prevent inadvertent intrusion such as.

The lid 10 can be formed in a double structure so as to increase rigidity by, for example, combining a stainless steel plate and a resin molded plate, or a combination of an artificial marble plate and a resin molded plate. Further, if a plurality of grooves 21 are formed on the upper surface of the upper plate 11 so as to have a water gradient toward the sink tank 3 side, drainage when wet tableware or the like is placed on the lid 10 can be performed. It is effective.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the opening / closing structure of the lid 10 for opening / closing the dish entrance / exit 4a of the dishwashing tank 4 is performed by turning up and down by hinge connection has been described as an example. The effect of the present invention can be exerted even on an opening / closing structure in which the lid 10 is slid in the horizontal direction along the frontage direction.

[0018]

As is apparent from the above description, the present invention relates to a dish basin having a sink mounted on a counter and having an upper surface opened to a sink, and a tableware opening and opening provided on the upper surface in parallel with the sink tub. A dishwashing tank having a function is arranged, a ventilation path is formed inside a lid for closing the tableware opening and closing of the dishwashing tank in an openable and closable manner, and an intake opening of the ventilation path is closed when the lid is closed. Since the inner opening faces the inner region of the lower surface corresponding to the tableware entrance, and the exhaust opening faces the outer region of the outer lower surface corresponding to the outer periphery of the tableware entrance of the dishwashing tank, the lid The air in the dishwashing tank during the dishwashing / drying operation in the closed state can be easily discharged to the outside.

In addition, unlike the conventional apparatus in which the dishwashing apparatus is incorporated under the counter and the exhaust port is arranged in front of the sink, the exhaust does not blow out to the worker side. In addition to being safe, even if dew condensation occurs in the exhaust path, moisture does not transfer to the wood members forming the sink because the ventilation path is located in the outside area in the sink.

Further, the lid body a double structure of upper and lower plates, with intervening shielding warm plate between these upper and lower plates, the shield temperature

become. Furthermore, since the ventilation path is formed in a maze shape, the temperature and momentum of the hot water or hot air passing through the ventilation path can be reduced during operation, and safety can be ensured. It is possible not only to prevent the washing water from being discharged into the sink tank side, or to prevent the washing water in the sink tank from entering the dishwashing tank side, but also to obtain a silencing effect.

[0021]

Further, by providing a storage-prevention rib at the intake opening and the exhaust opening of the ventilation path of the lid, it is possible to prevent inadvertent entry of foreign matter such as coins when the lid is opened.
