[0016]
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a pair of shafts 31 projecting toward the side edge of the lift door 21 are fixed to the side edge (column 2) of the opening 15 at a predetermined interval W up and down. A guide roller 33 is supported on each shaft 31 so as to be freely rotatable. In addition, a guide rail 35 is fixed to the side edge of the elevating door 21 so that the guide roller 33 can be squeezed. This guide rail 35 is a member having a substantially U-shaped cross-section that opens only on the squeezing side surface of the guide roller 33, and includes an extending portion 21 </ b> A that extends downward from the upper end portion of the elevating door 21 beyond the lower end portion. Configured. A bracket 41 is fixed to the extending portion 21A, and the bracket 41 extends into the cleaning chamber 10 through the cutout portion 42 formed in the support column 2 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, one end 43 </ b> A of the link 43 constituting the link mechanism 19 is connected to the bracket 41 extending into the cleaning chamber 10, and the other end 43 </ b> B of the link 43 is substantially omitted. The other end 45 </ b> B is connected to the side edge of the tilt door 17. A coil spring 47 is stretched between the link 43 and the fixed portion in the cleaning chamber 10.
[0017]
When the tilting door 17 shown in FIG. 4 is pulled forward (in the direction of arrow A), as shown in FIG. 5, the tilting door 17 tilts forward, and in conjunction with this, while being pulled by the spring force of the coil spring 47, The link 43 is pushed up via the stay 45, and the elevator door 21 is raised upward together with the link 43, and the opening 15 is fully opened.
[0018]
By the way, as shown in FIG. 6, a long cleaning object 71 such as a tray to be cleaned by the cleaning machine 1 is held upright on a cleaning machine rack 72, and each cleaning machine rack 72 is shown in FIG. It is inserted into the cleaning chamber 10 shown and placed on the rack guide rail 73. As shown in FIG. 7, the washing machine rack 72 includes a resin-made first rack 75 integrally having a number of tableware hanging portions 75 </ b> A at the bottom and a second rack 75 assembled to the first rack 75. A rack 77 is included.
[0019]
The first rack 75 is a general-purpose product and is inexpensive. The second rack 77 is used in combination with the first rack 75, and is formed by bending a stainless steel wire. That is, a plurality of rows of leaning portions 77A formed so that the objects to be cleaned 71 can be leaned and held over a plurality of rows at a predetermined angle, and the objects to be cleaned placed on both sides of each of the leaning portions 77A and leaning on each of the leaning portions 77A A side-falling prevention part 77B having a height higher than that of the leaning part 77A that prevents the object 71 from falling sideways is configured. When the second rack 77 is carried, the side-falling prevention portion 77B also serves as a handle. The second rack 77 includes a lattice portion 77C at the bottom, and when the first rack 75 and the second rack 77 are assembled, the table rack portion 75A protruding from the first rack 75 between the lattices of the lattice portion 77C. And the first rack 75 and the second rack 77 are firmly connected.
[0020]
By the way, when the washing machine rack 72 including the second rack 77 is integrally molded with resin, the manufacturing price including mold costs etc. increases, and if they are made of total metal, the weight becomes too heavy, Neither is realistic.
[0021]
In the present embodiment, it is possible to hold a long cleaning object 71 such as a tray using the first rack 75 of a general-purpose product that is inexpensive.
[0022]
Therefore, if the second rack 77 is removed and used, the first rack 75 can be used to wash dishes such as a cup, so that the rack can be shared, the rack manufacturing price is suppressed, and the weight is increased. There is nothing to do.
[0023]
In the present embodiment, referring to FIG. 6, the cleaning object 71 is leaned on a plurality of rows of leaning portions 77A at a predetermined angle, and the cleaning object 71 is placed in the cleaning chamber 10 shown in FIG. In the case of insertion, even if a force in the lateral direction acts on the cleaning target object 71 that is leaned on each of the leaning portions 77A, the force is held by the lateral fall prevention portion 77B, so that the lateral fall is almost certainly prevented.
[0024]
Therefore, the effect of easily performing the operation of inserting the cleaning object 71 into the cleaning chamber 10 for each cleaning machine rack 72 is obtained.
[0025]
Note that when the cleaning object 71 is leaned on the plurality of rows of leaning parts 77A at a predetermined angle, the lower end of the cleaning object 71 is not locked to the tableware hanging part 75A formed on the first rack 75. Needless to say.
[0026]
As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on one Embodiment, it is clear that this invention is not limited to this.
[0027]
The present invention is suitable for a rack structure that is used when the cleaning object 71 is longer than the width of the cleaning machine rack 72, that is, when the cleaning object 71 does not fit in the cleaning machine rack 72 even when the cleaning object 71 is placed sideways. It is.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, when a cleaning object is inserted for each rack for a cleaning machine, even if a force in the lateral direction acts on the cleaning object leaning on each leaning part, it is held in the sideways prevention part. Side-falling is almost certainly prevented.
