Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dishwasher in which a main body of a dishwasher having a washing tank inside is supported by a support and is installed in a system kitchen to wash dishes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a built-in type dishwasher in which a main body of a dishwasher having a washing tank inside is supported by a support table and installed in a system kitchen for use has become mainstream.

Conventionally, this kind of dishwasher has been constructed as shown in FIG. The configuration will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 6, the outer box 1 has an opening at the front and supports a cleaning tank 3 having an opening at the top through a rail 2 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. A dish basket 5 for accommodating dishes 4 is arranged in the washing tank 3, and a washing nozzle 6 for injecting washing water is rotatably provided. The washing nozzle 6 is connected to a pump 8 via a circulation path 7. There is.

Further, the cleaning tank 3 is provided with a water supply pipe 9 for supplying water into the cleaning tank 3 and a drainage pipe 10 for discharging the water in the cleaning tank 3 to the outside of the machine.
A water supply pipe 12 and a drain pipe 1 that are previously installed indoors on one side
3 are connected respectively.

Further, the dishwasher body 14 is installed on a cabinet 15 installed in the system kitchen 11, and a drawer 16 for providing a storage space is provided in the cabinet 15.

A water reservoir 17 and an overflow detection switch 18 are provided at the bottom of the outer box 1, and when water leaks from the cleaning tank 3, the circulation path 7, etc., the leaked water is stored and detected. By stopping the operation, damage to the system kitchen 11 due to water leakage is prevented. When water leakage is detected, as shown in FIG. 7, the dishwasher body 14 is pulled out from the system kitchen 11 and then placed on the lower surface of the water reservoir 17, and normally leaks from the drain hole 20 closed by the cap 19. Drained water and processed.

[0008]

In such a conventional dishwasher, when a water leak occurs from the washing tank 3 or the circulation path 7 and the repair is required, a cap provided at the bottom of the outer box 1 is used. 19 must be drained to drain the water accumulated in the water reservoir 17 from the drain hole 20. However, since there is no space between the dishwasher body 14 and the cabinet 15, there is no space for work, so the dishwasher body 14 is first installed in the system. It is necessary to pull out from the kitchen 11 and perform drainage work, and after the repair, the dishwasher body 14 needs to be installed again in the system kitchen 11, which makes repair very difficult.

Further, since the dishwasher main body 14 is pulled out while the water is stored in the water reservoir 17, if the dishwasher main body 14 is tilted at the time of pulling out, the water may be spilled on the floor surface.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to perform water draining work without pulling out the dishwasher main body from the system kitchen, thereby facilitating repair.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a water storage part for storing leaked water below a washing tank arranged in the dishwasher main body to support the dishwasher main body. The water reservoir has a drainage portion, and the inner space of the support base serves as a working space for draining water from the drainage portion.

[0012] As a result, since the water can be drained without pulling out the dishwasher main body from the system kitchen, the dishwasher main body can be easily repaired without tilting the dishwasher main body and spilling water on the floor. You can
