Abstract: A dish washing machine includes the following elements: a main body; a washing tank; a tableware basket for holding target objects to be washed; a washing device for spraying washing water onto the target objects; an atomizer for atomizing the washing water; a door; a detergent automatic insertion device; and a controller for performing at least a pre-washing step, an atomizing step, and a washing step. After the pre-washing step, the controller causes the detergent automatic insertion device to supply detergent to the atomizer, and controls and performs the atomizing step and the washing step. Thus, after the pre-washing step, the step of atomizing a detergent solution can be performed. This enables the dish washing machine to reduce the amount of detergent to be used and to exert high washing performance through the step of atomizing the detergent solution at the same time.

Abstract: A dish washer/dryer includes a washing tub for accommodating an object to be washed, a washing section for washing the object to be washed, a heater for heating washing water, an exhaust port for discharging moisture inside the washing tub, an air blower for blowing outside-air, a mixing section disposed at an upstream side of the exhaust port and mixing the outside-air with washing-tub-inside-air, and an air volume distribution section for changing the feeding ratio of outside-air into the washing tub and the mixing section. This configuration provides a dish washer/dryer, in which a sufficient amount of outside-air is mixed with exhaust air in the washing tub so as to promote the temperature reduction of the exhaust air and the reduction of the moisture content in the exhaust air during drying operation, thereby enhancing the comfort of the exhaust air.
