When the mounting frame 10 is removed, the sealing member 21 may be removed together, and the mounting frame 10 and the opening edge 8a may be removed.
Upper surface and lower surface of opening edge 8a and mounting flange 11
b If the structure is such that the upper surface can be sealed, the first embodiment
The same operation and effect as described above can be obtained.

The mounting frame 1 is not limited to the seal member 12.
The shape of the mounting frame 1 and the opening edge 8a, the mounting flange 11b, and the screw 17 are not limited to the above shapes.
If the screw 0 is detachable and the screw 17 for fixing the washing / drying tank 11 is covered when the lid 13 is opened, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained.

[0027]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

In the dishwasher / dryer provided with a lid covering the opening of the washing tank mounted in the main body, a detachable mounting frame is provided on the upper surface of the opening edge of the main body to which the washing tank is mounted. Since the lid that covers the upper surface of the frame is disposed, residual water that accumulates on the upper surface of the mounting frame is easy to clean, and the cleanability of the contact portion between the opening edge and the mounting frame is improved, so that the dishwasher is easy to use. Can be obtained.

In a dishwasher mounted in a cabinet, a detachable mounting frame is provided on an upper surface of an opening edge of an opening provided in the cabinet for mounting a washing tank, and a washing surface is provided on an upper surface of the mounting frame. Since the lid that covers the opening of the tank is provided, it is easy to clean residual water that accumulates on the upper surface of the mounting frame, and the cleanability of the contact portion between the opening edge and the mounting frame is improved, so that an easy-to-use dishwasher is obtained. be able to.

Further, since the height of the mounting frame is substantially the same as the height of the front and rear upper ends of the sink formed in the cabinet, residual water hardly accumulates in the mounting frame, and the cleaning property is improved. .

Further, since the packing is formed on the entire periphery of the opening edge so as to cover the upper and lower surfaces of the opening edge in a substantially U-shape, the opening edge can be removed even if the mounting frame is removed. Is not exposed, and it is possible to prevent intrusion of dust such as residual water and food residue from the upper surface of the opening edge.

Also, the height of the mounting frame is substantially the same as the height of the front and rear upper ends of the sink in which the cabinet is formed, and the lid is formed to slide on the front and rear upper ends of the sink. In addition, the lid can be easily opened and closed (slided), the residual water is less likely to accumulate in the mounting frame, and a dishwasher with good cleaning properties can be obtained.

Further, since the inclined surface is formed on the upper surface of the mounting frame toward the outer peripheral direction, the remaining water on the upper surface of the mounting frame flows to the sink, and the remaining water does not accumulate.

Further, since the detergent inlet is provided on the upper surface of the mounting frame, the mounting frame can be removed, and the detergent adhering or sticking in the vicinity of the detergent inlet can be cleaned from the front and rear sides of the mounting frame. Will be good.
