Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a dishwasher including a spray unit fixed to one sidewall of a wash tub and a reflecting plate assembly to reflect wash water sprayed from the spray unit onto dishes and to linearly reciprocate in a spray direction of the wash water sprayed from the spray unit. The dishwasher further includes a drive unit to drive the reflecting plate assembly, and a cam unit to transmit driving force of the drive unit to the reflecting plate assembly. The drive unit includes a motor to generate rotational force, and a belt forming a closed loop and caused to make cyclic movement by the motor. The cam unit is engaged with the belt to transmit power of the belt to the reflecting plate assembly. The cam is alternately engaged with first and second portions of the belt to cause the reflecting plate assembly to reciprocate.
Abstract:
A dishwasher is provided in which tableware is capable of being washed with washing water of a high pressure by preventing the pressure of the washing water from dropping. The dishwasher includes a main body in which a washing tub is formed, a sump provided in the main body and storing washing water, a plurality of injection nozzles to inject the washing water into the washing tub, a plurality of flow passages respectively connected to the plurality of injection nozzles, and a distribution apparatus configured to selectively open and close the plurality of flow passages and communicate with the plurality of flow passages, respectively, and including rotary member having a plurality of independent connection passages and a case in which the rotary member is accommodated.
Abstract:
Provided are a dish washing machine capable of effectively removing garbage which remains at the bottom of a washing tub and a filter and a method of controlling the same. When washing water is sprayed from a nozzle while a vane is positioned at a reference position during a drainage operation, since a deflection angle of the vane is bent back and the washing water is strongly sprayed toward a rear wall of a washing tub, the washing water may form a fast and strong water current over a bottom plate of the washing tub, and the fast and strong water current may remove garbage which remains at a filter while flowing over the bottom of the washing tub. Also, even when an excessive amount of garbage is accumulated at a filter at a top end of a sump and blocks the filter during a washing operation such as preliminary washing, main washing, etc., the filter is automatically washed using a small amount of water, thereby eliminating inconvenience of a user to directly separate and wash the filter. Also, washing performance may be effectively improved by precisely determining whether degradation in washing performance caused by a poor circulation of washing water occurs due to a filter blockage or generation of bubbles.
Abstract:
A dishwasher includes a tub that accommodates dishes; a nozzle assembly that sprays washing water; a vane assembly that is moved between a first position and a second position of an inside of the tub and changes a progression path of the washing water so that the sprayed washing water can be directed toward the dishes; and a controller that moves the vane assembly to the second position if the vane assembly is disposed at the first position. When a linear washing portion washes a small quantity of dishes by spraying washing water while making a reciprocal motion in part of an inside of a washing chamber, a washing time can be reduced, and concentrated washing can also be performed.
Abstract:
A dish washing machine including a cabinet configured to form an exterior, a washing tub provided in the cabinet to wash dishes, and a jet nozzle configured to jet washing water to the washing tub, wherein the jet nozzle includes a plurality of nozzle inner walls provided therein to form a passage through which the washing water passes and having a plurality of passage inner walls provided to have arc shapes in section vertical to a flow direction of the washing water. Due to such configuration, a jetting force may be enhanced and washing efficiency may be also improved.
Abstract:
A dish washing machine includes a plurality of spray nozzles to spray wash water, a sump to store wash water, a pump to pump wash water stored in the sump, and a distribution device to distribute wash water pumped by the pump into the plurality of spray nozzles. The distribution device includes a cylindrical housing having an inlet formed in one axial end portion thereof and a plurality of outlets that are arranged in a circumferential surface of the cylindrical housing in an axial direction and connected to the plurality of spray nozzles, an opening/closing member rotatably disposed within the cylindrical housing to open and close the plurality of outlets, and a motor to rotate the opening/closing member. Wash water may be independently sprayed from a plurality of nozzles, a wash tank may be dividedly washed, and loss of pressure of wash water may be reduced, thereby increasing washability.

Abstract:
A dish washing machine having a structure allowing wash water to be evenly sprayed into a washing tub. The dish washing machine includes a cabinet forming an external appearance of the dish washing machine, a washing tub arranged in the cabinet and allowing dishes to be washed therein, a dish basket arranged in the washing tub to accommodate the dishes, a spray unit to spray wash water into the washing tub, a diversion unit arranged inside a flow passage of wash water to divert the wash water sprayed from the spray unit, and a guide member coupled to one side of the diversion unit to allow the diversion unit to move within the washing tub. As the spray unit and the diversion unit are provided, a dead zone which wash water does not reach may be eliminated, and divided and intensive washing may be implemented in the washing tub.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a drainage device and a dishwasher having the same. The drainage device includes a drain pump including a drain port for discharging water, a drain pipe guiding discharge of water discharged from the drain pump, an air chamber in which the drain pump is connected to an upper portion thereof and the drain pipe is connected to a lower portion thereof, and an air pump configured to inject air into the air chamber, thereby more surely blocking the backflow of water to the drain pump by air injected into the air chamber through the air pump.
