Dishwasher

Abstract

A dishwasher provided with: a washing vessel (2) for containing an object to be washed; a washing pump (6) for pressurizing washing water discharged onto the object to be washed; a rotation bearing (13) fixed to the washing vessel (2); and a washing nozzle (7) rotatably supported on the rotation bearing (13) and discharging the washing water pressurized by the washing pump (6). The washing nozzle (7) has a nozzle section (100) provided with conduits (15, 16) having discharge openings (19, 20), and also has rotating shaft (14) incorporating a valve element (21). The valve element (21) has open sections (22) and closed sections (23) and pivots by rotating within the rotating shaft (14) together with the washing nozzle (7) and, at the same time, moving forward and backward along the direction of water flow, to thereby switch the supply of the washing water between the conduits (15, 16). The configuration allows the switching between the conduits by the valve element (21) to be performed reliably, saves water, and washes dishes uniformly to enhance the effect of washing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a dishwasher for washing dishes and the like using washing water. Background technique [0002] The cleaning nozzles of conventional dishwashers are Figure 11 and Figure 12 The structure as shown (for example, refer patent document 1). This structure will be described below. As shown in the drawing, a rotatable cleaning nozzle 101 that sprays cleaning water into the cleaning tank is divided into four chambers 103a to 103d around a rotating shaft 102 . Propelling holes 104 for rotating the washing nozzle 101 by the spraying force of washing water are provided at the front ends of the respective chambers 103a to 103d. A cylindrical support cylinder 106 is provided between the spray part 105 of the washing water supplied by the pump and the rotating shaft 102 of the washing nozzle 101 . A floating member 107 is provided inside the support cylinder 106 . [0003] Floater 107 rises while rotating in support cylinder 1...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] That is, during the period in which the floating member 107 is separated from the cleaning nozzle 101, the floating member 107 and the cleaning nozzle 101 rotate independently of each other, so the floating member 107 cannot close the flow path in sequence.

As a result, the switching of the rotation direction of the washing nozzle 101 becomes irregular, and local concentration of the washing water and uneven washing will occur on the dishes and the like that the washing water reaches.
