[0056] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the dishwasher 1 of an embodiment of the present invention can be formed by the body 10 and the door 20. The body 10 may include a washing tub 11 that forms a washing space for washing dishes inside. Furthermore, the body 10 can form the appearance of the dishwasher 1 and may have different structures depending on whether it is a freestanding, built-in, or other installation configuration.

[0057] The aforementioned door 20 can open and close the aforementioned washing tub 11, which has an open front surface. The lower end of the aforementioned door 20 is rotatably attached to the front surface of the aforementioned main body 10, thereby enabling the opening and closing of the aforementioned washing tub 11.

[0058] The aforementioned washing tank 11 is used to form a washing space 110 for washing tableware. It can be formed as a box with an open front surface and can occupy most of the interior area of ​​the aforementioned main body 10.

[0059] The aforementioned washing basin 11 may be made of stainless steel, and inside it are racks 31 and 32 for storing tableware, which can be pushed in / pulled out. The racks 31 and 32 are shaped like baskets formed by intersecting wires, allowing for easy washing of the stored tableware. The racks 31 and 32 can be of various shapes and multiple racks can be arranged vertically. As an example, the racks 31 and 32 may consist of a lower rack 31 and an upper rack 32.

[0060] Guide rails 12 may be provided on the left and right sides of the aforementioned washing tub 11. The guide rails 12 are connected to the aforementioned upper shelf 32 or lower shelf 31, thereby allowing the upper shelf 32 and lower shelf 31 to be pushed in / pulled out. As an example, the upper shelf 32 can be pushed in / pulled out along the aforementioned guide rails 12, and the lower shelf 31 can be pushed in / pulled out along the rear surface of the aforementioned door 20.

[0061] The washing tub 11 may be equipped with a plurality of nozzles 14 and 15 for spraying water to wash dishes. As an example, the nozzles 14 and 15 may be positioned between the upper and lower surfaces of the washing tub 11 and between the shelves 31 and 32 arranged vertically. Therefore, the dishes stored inside the shelves 31 and 32 can be washed by the washing water sprayed from the plurality of nozzles 14 and 15 in an upward and downward direction.

[0062] A water collection tank 13 may be provided at the bottom of the washing tank 11. The water collection tank 13 may be disposed in the lower part of the main body 10, that is, in the space below the washing tank 11. The opening of the water collection tank 13 is located at the bottom of the washing tank 11 so that water falling from the washing tank 11 can flow in.

[0063] Furthermore, a circulation pump for circulating the washing water can be installed in the aforementioned water collection tank 13. The circulation pump draws water from the water collection tank 13 and discharges it to the nozzles 14 and 15. Therefore, through the operation of the circulation pump, water from the water collection tank 13 is continuously supplied to the nozzles 14 and 15, thereby achieving the circulation and spraying of the washing water. A drain section for discharging water from the water collection tank 13 can be provided on the other side of the water collection tank 13. Therefore, washing water can be discharged through the drain section during or after washing operations. For this purpose, a flow path for the washing water can be provided between the water collection tank 13, the circulation pump, the nozzles 14 and 15, and the drain section. Furthermore, a heat pump or heater is provided in the main body 10 to heat the washing water and the washing tank.

[0064] The structure of the shelf 32 and accessory 40 will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accessory 40 can be installed on both the upper shelf 32 and the lower shelf 31, but for ease of explanation, the following description will focus on its installation on the upper shelf 32. Furthermore, the upper shelf 32 will be referred to as shelf 32 below.

[0065] Figure 2 This is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention showing an accessory mounted on a shelf.

[0066] As shown in the figure, the shelf 32 can be formed into a mesh-shaped basket structure using multiple wires. For example, the wires can be made of metal, such as stainless steel.

[0067] The aforementioned wires may include a main wire 321 forming the upper periphery of the shelf 32. Furthermore, multiple transverse wires 322 and longitudinal wires 323 may be provided, running horizontally between the main wires 321. These multiple transverse wires 322 and longitudinal wires 323 are arranged continuously, spaced apart from each other, to form a grid-like mesh structure. The ends of the transverse wires 322 and longitudinal wires 323 are bent upwards and connected to the main wires 321, thereby forming a basket shape. The transverse wires 322 and longitudinal wires 323 can be bent into various shapes to correspond to the type and shape of the tableware stored in the shelf 32. The wires may also be in the form of thick rods or bars.

[0068] Furthermore, guide members 33 may be formed on the left and right sides of the shelf 32. The guide members 33 may be molded from plastic material and attached to the main wire 321, and may be exposed on the outer surfaces of the left and right sides of the shelf 32.

[0069] The guide member 33, when combined with the guide rail 12, allows the shelf 32 to move in the front-to-back direction. For this purpose, the guide member 33 may have multiple rollers. Furthermore, the guide member 33 can move up and down while combined with the shelf 32, allowing adjustment of the spacing between it and the lower shelf 31, or the space above the shelf 32.

[0070] Cup holders 35 may be provided on the left and right sides of the shelf 32. The cup holders 35 are rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the shelf 32. The cup holders 35 can be unfolded on the side of the shelf 32 by rotation, thereby providing space for placing tableware 3 such as cups.

[0071] A front cover 34 may be provided at the front end of the aforementioned shelf 32. The front cover 34 may be formed along the main wire 321 forming the front end of the aforementioned shelf 32. Furthermore, both ends of the aforementioned front cover 34 may extend rearward and connect to the aforementioned guide member 33.

[0072] The aforementioned front cover 34 may be formed of plastic material and is formed in a manner that surrounds the aforementioned main wire 321. Therefore, the upper end of the front surface of the aforementioned shelf 32 on which the aforementioned front cover 34 is formed is thicker than the aforementioned main wire 321, and can be used as a handle when the user pushes in / pulls out the aforementioned shelf 32.

[0073] Furthermore, an intermediate nozzle 15 is provided at the lower part of the shelf 32, which is pushed in / out together with the shelf 32. Water sprayed upward by the intermediate nozzle 15 passes through the shelf 32 and can wash the tableware stored in the shelf 32.

[0074] On the other hand, an accessory 40 can be placed on the shelf 32. The accessory 40 can hold small tableware 2 such as spoons, chopsticks, forks, knives, etc., and is placed on the upper part of the shelf 32. It can be installed in the desired position by moving it in the left and right direction. As an example, the accessory 40 can have a structure suitable for holding the knife, so the accessory 40 can be called a knife holder.

[0075] Furthermore, the aforementioned accessory 40 can be installed onto the aforementioned main wire 321. The front end and rear end of the aforementioned accessory 40 can be positioned on the upper end of the front surface and the upper end of the rear surface of the main wire 321 forming the shelf 32. For this purpose, the length of the aforementioned accessory 40 in the front-rear direction is the same as or slightly longer than the length of the aforementioned shelf 32 in the front-rear direction.

[0076] The upper surface of the aforementioned accessory 40 has a storage section 410 for holding small tableware 2, such as spoons, chopsticks, forks, and knives. The storage section 410 forms a recessed space to provide space for placing the tableware 2. As an example, the storage section 410 has a grid-shaped opening, thereby allowing water sprayed from below to pass through.

[0077] The front and rear ends of the aforementioned accessory 40 extend vertically, thereby sufficiently separating the storage portion 410 from the upper end of the shelf 32. Therefore, the accessory 40 can have a structure and shape that ensures space for placing tableware on the shelf 32 during installation and minimizes interference with the tableware placed on the shelf 32.

[0078] As an example, in order to achieve a three-dimensional shape, the aforementioned annex 40 can be formed by injection molding of plastic material.

[0079] The structure of Annex 40 will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0080] Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional view of the aforementioned attachment. Furthermore, Figure 4 yes Figure 2 An enlarged view of part A. Furthermore, Figure 5 yes Figure 3 Section 5-5. And, Figure 6 This is a partial side view of the aforementioned attachment. Furthermore, Figure 7 yes Figure 3 Section 7-7. Furthermore, Figure 8 This is a partial bottom view of the aforementioned attachment.

[0081] As shown in the figure, the above-mentioned accessory 40 may include a frame 41 having a storage portion 410 and a support member 42 extending downward from the front end and rear end of the frame 41.

[0082] The frame 41 forms the upper part of the accessory 40 and provides space for placing tableware 2, such as the eating utensils. The frame 41 also forms the periphery of the storage portion 410. Furthermore, the frame 41 may protrude upwards beyond the storage portion 410. When viewed from above, the frame 41 may be a square frame shape. As an example, the frame 41 may include: a pair of first side portions 411 that form the left and right sides and extend in the front-back direction; and a pair of second side portions 412 that form the front and back sides and connect the front and rear ends of the pair of first side portions 411. The first side portions 411 may be referred to as side portions, and the second side portions 412 as front surface portions and rear surface portions.

[0083] The length of the aforementioned accessory 40 can be determined by the first side portion 411, and can correspond to the length of the shelf 32 in the front-to-back direction. Furthermore, the width of the accessory 40 can be determined by the second side portion 412, and can have a width smaller than the length of the accessory 40. For example, the width of the accessory 40 can be less than half the length of the shelf 32 in the left-to-right direction. Therefore, regardless of the location of the accessory 40 in the left-to-right direction of the shelf 32, it will not interfere with the tableware placed on the shelf 32.

[0084] On the other hand, the frame 41 may also include a corner portion 413. The corner portion 413 connects the end of the first side portion 411 and the end of the second side portion 412, and may be formed into an inclined shape or a rounded shape. Therefore, the corner of the frame 41 may be formed into an inclined shape or a rounded shape.

[0085] The shape of the corner 413 prevents the accessory 40 from jamming or interfering with other structures. For example, due to the shape of the corner 413, when the corner 413 of the accessory 40 comes into contact with the main body or other structures during the process of pushing in / out of the shelf 32, the accessory 40 moves and naturally repositions itself.

[0086] Furthermore, a storage section 410 for storing tableware 2, such as eating utensils, can be formed in the inner region of the frame 41. The storage section 410 may include a plurality of longitudinal ribs 44 and transverse ribs 45. The longitudinal ribs 44 and transverse ribs 45 are arranged to intersect each other, thereby forming a plurality of grid shapes at the bottom of the storage section 410.

[0087] At this time, the longitudinal ribs 44 can be arranged parallel to the first side portion 411, and multiple ribs are formed at certain intervals in the left-right direction. Furthermore, both ends of the longitudinal ribs 44 can be connected to the second side portion 412.

[0088] The aforementioned transverse ribs 45 can be arranged parallel to the aforementioned second side portion 412 and formed at certain intervals along the front-to-back direction. Furthermore, the aforementioned transverse ribs 45 can intersect and extend with the aforementioned longitudinal ribs 44. Therefore, the transverse ribs 45 and the longitudinal ribs 44 can form a grid shape on the entire surface of the aforementioned storage portion 410. Furthermore, the two ends of the aforementioned transverse ribs 45 can be connected to the aforementioned first side portion 411.

[0089] Furthermore, multiple upwardly protruding alignment portions 451 may be formed on the aforementioned transverse ribs 45. These alignment portions 451 serve to separate the tableware 2 placed in the aforementioned storage section 410, and multiple alignment portions 451 are arranged along the aforementioned transverse ribs 45. Moreover, the alignment portions 451 may protrude from each of the aforementioned transverse ribs 45 at different heights. For example, the alignment portions 451 may be formed into various shapes such as inclined ribs, teeth, or protrusions.

[0090] The ends of the aforementioned longitudinal rib 44 and transverse rib 45 can be bent upwards. Therefore, the aforementioned storage portion 410 can be positioned lower than the aforementioned frame 41. That is, the aforementioned frame 41 acts as a border protruding upwards along the periphery of the aforementioned storage portion 410, thereby preventing the aforementioned cutlery 2 placed in the aforementioned storage portion 410 from falling and maintaining a stable placement.

[0091] On the other hand, the first side portion 411 may include an inner portion 411a forming the inner surface of the frame 41 and an outer portion 411b forming the outer surface of the frame 41. The inner portion 411a and the outer portion 411b may be spaced apart from each other. Furthermore, the first side portion 411 may include a connecting portion 411c connecting the upper ends of the inner portion 411a and the outer portion 411b. The connecting portion 411c forms the upper end of the frame 41 and has a rounded corner shape. The spacing between the inner portion 411a and the outer portion 411b increases as it moves from top to bottom.

[0092] The inner portion 411a may extend further downward than the outer portion 411b. Furthermore, the transverse rib 45 may be connected to the lower end of the inner portion 411a. In this case, the inner portion 411a is formed at an angle, moving closer to the outer side as it extends upward. Therefore, the space above the storage section 410 can be expanded, and sufficient storage space for the cutlery 2 placed in the storage section 410 can be ensured.

[0093] Based on the lower end of the aforementioned attachment 40, the height H1 of the lower end of the aforementioned storage portion 410 can be made lower than the height H2 of the lower end of the aforementioned inner portion 411a. Furthermore, the height H3 of the lower end of the aforementioned outer portion 411b can be made higher than the height H2 of the lower end of the aforementioned inner portion 411a. Moreover, the aforementioned outer portion 411b extends further outward than the aforementioned inner portion 411a and is spaced apart. Therefore, when viewed from the side, the lower ends of the aforementioned inner portion 411a and the aforementioned storage portion 410 can be exposed in a state where they protrude downwards more than the lower ends of the aforementioned outer portion 411b.

[0094] In detail, such as Figure 5As shown, the lower end of the innermost storage section 410 can be located at the lowest position, the lower end of the inner portion 411a outside the storage section 410 can be located at a higher position than the storage section 410, and the lower end of the outer portion 411b outside the inner portion 411a can be located at a higher position than the lower end of the inner portion 411a. Therefore, as moving from the inside to the outside, the height increases in the order of the storage section 410, the inner portion 411a, and the outer portion 411b. Furthermore, when viewed from the front, the extension line connecting the lower ends of the storage section 410, the inner portion 411a, and the outer portion 411b can have an inclined configuration.

[0095] This structure ensures sufficient space on both sides of the aforementioned accessory 40, i.e., on the lower left and right sides of the aforementioned frame 41. Therefore, interference between the tableware placed on the aforementioned shelf 32 and the aforementioned accessory 40 can be avoided.

[0096] On the other hand, the aforementioned support member 42 can form the front and rear surfaces of the aforementioned accessory 40. Furthermore, the aforementioned support member 42 can be mounted to the aforementioned shelf 32. The aforementioned support member 42 can extend downwards from the front and rear ends of the aforementioned frame 41. In this case, a pair of aforementioned support members 42 can be formed with the same shape. That is, the aforementioned accessory 40 can be formed symmetrically with reference to the center in the front-to-rear direction.

[0097] The support member 42 may extend downward from the second side portion 412. Alternatively, the support member 42 may be integrally formed with the second side portion 412. That is, the upper end of the support member 42 may also form the second side portion 412, in which case the support member 42 may also become part of the frame 41.

[0098] Furthermore, the aforementioned support member 42 can extend vertically so that the aforementioned storage portion 410 is positioned above the aforementioned shelf 32 at a predetermined distance. Additionally, the lower end of the aforementioned support member 42 can be attached to the upper end of the aforementioned shelf 32. For example, the front support member 42 can be attached to the aforementioned front cover 34, and the rear support member 42 can be attached to the main cable 321.

[0099] As an example, the aforementioned support member 42 may include an outer support member 426 and an inner support member 43. The outer support member 426 may form the front and rear surfaces of the aforementioned support member 42 and accessory 40. The outer support member 426 may include extensions 420 extending downward from the left and right sides of the front end of the aforementioned frame 41. The extensions 420 may include an upper extension 421 and a lower extension 422.

[0100] The aforementioned upper extension 421 extends downward from the aforementioned frame 41 and is formed obliquely, moving closer to the outer side as it extends downward. That is, the aforementioned upper extension 421 may be formed such that its lower end protrudes more than its upper end. Furthermore, the aforementioned upper extension 421 may also be formed in an oblique shape or a rounded shape.

[0101] The aforementioned upper extension 421 can also be connected to the aforementioned corner portion 413. Furthermore, the corner portions formed by the front surface and side surfaces of the aforementioned accessory 40 can be integrally formed into an inclined shape or a rounded shape through the aforementioned corner portion 413 and the upper extension 421. Therefore, jamming or impact with other structures can be prevented during the movement of the aforementioned shelf 32 or accessory 40.

[0102] The lower extension 422 extends downward from the lower end of the upper extension 421. The lower extension 422 extends downward in a direction perpendicular to the frame 41. Furthermore, the lower extension 422 can extend with a smaller angle of inclination than the upper extension 421. The lower extension 422 extends to a position contacting the upper end of the shelf 32.

[0103] Furthermore, the extension 420 may be formed more prominently than the front or rear end of the frame 41. That is, the extension 420 may protrude more prominently than the outer surface of the second side portion 412.

[0104] The aforementioned outer support member 426 may further include a mounting portion 423. The mounting portion 423 provides a surface for mounting to the upper end of the aforementioned shelf 32, and can connect the lower ends of the aforementioned extensions 420 on both sides to each other. Furthermore, the mounting portion 423 can form the lower end of the aforementioned outer support member 426.

[0105] The aforementioned mounting portion 423 may extend parallel to the front or rear end of the aforementioned frame 41. Furthermore, the mounting portion 423 may include a first portion 423a and a second portion 423b. The first portion 423a may form the upper surface of the mounting portion 423 and may connect the lower ends of the aforementioned extension portions 420 to each other. Moreover, when the aforementioned accessory 40 is installed onto the aforementioned shelf 32, the first portion 423a may be supported by the upper end of the aforementioned shelf 32.

[0106] The second portion 423b extends downward from the end of the first portion 423a and forms the outer surface of the mounting portion 423. Furthermore, the lower end of the second portion 423b forms the lower end of the mounting portion 423 and the lower end of the support member 42, and also forms the lowermost end of the attachment 40. When the attachment 40 is installed onto the shelf 32, the lower end of the second portion 423b extends downward further than the upper end of the shelf 32. Therefore, the second portion 423b limits the upper end of the shelf 32 on its outer side, thereby preventing the attachment 40 from detaching from the shelf 32.

[0107] The first portion 423a and the second portion 423b described above may intersect each other. Furthermore, the mounting portion 423 formed by the first portion 423a and the second portion 423b may be shaped to correspond to the outer surface of the front cover 34. Therefore, when the accessory 40 is installed onto the shelf 32, the first portion 423a and the second portion 423b may make face-to-face contact in a manner that surrounds the outer surface of the front cover 34.

[0108] On the other hand, an opening 425 may be formed between the end of the frame 41 and the extension 420 and the mounting portion 423. The mounting portion 423 and the upper end of the shelf 32 are exposed through the opening 425. Furthermore, the opening 425 is sized to allow a user's fingers to fully penetrate, thus serving as a handle for gripping the front and rear ends of the accessory 40. The opening 425 may also be defined by the extension 420, the second side portion 412, and the mounting portion 423.

[0109] The aforementioned support member 42 may further include an outer surface portion 424 that connects the aforementioned frame 41 and the extensions 420 and mounting portions 423 on the left and right sides. The aforementioned outer surface portion 424 can connect the various structures of the aforementioned support member 42 and is formed in a step shape with the aforementioned mounting portions 423 and extensions 420, thereby strengthening the aforementioned support member 42.

[0110] Furthermore, the opening 425 can be formed on the aforementioned outer surface portion 424. The lower end of the opening 425 can be formed by the aforementioned mounting portion 423. Therefore, the support state of the aforementioned support member 42 and the aforementioned shelf 32, i.e., the correct installation state of the aforementioned accessory 40, can be confirmed through the aforementioned opening 425.

[0111] The aforementioned support member 42 may further include an inner support member 43. The aforementioned inner support member 43 may be formed as a pair on the left and right sides of the aforementioned support member 42, and extend in the vertical direction at a position closer to the center of the aforementioned frame 41 than the aforementioned outer support member 426.

[0112] The inner support member 43 extends to a height H between the lower end of the storage portion 410 and the height H0 of the mounting portion 423. The inner support member 43, together with the mounting portion 423, forms the lower end of the support member 42. When the accessory 40 is detached from the shelf 32 and placed independently, the inner support member 43, together with the lower end of the outer support member 426, contacts the ground. Therefore, the inner support member 43 can also be referred to as a foot.

[0113] Furthermore, a mounting groove 435 is formed at the lower end of the inner support member 43, and the upper end of the shelf 32 can be inserted into and placed into the mounting groove 435. When installing the accessory 40, the upper end of the shelf 32 can be housed in the mounting groove 435, which can ensure the stable installation and fixation of the accessory 40.

[0114] Specifically, the inner support member 43 may be disposed between the opening 425 and the extension 420. Furthermore, it may protrude from the back of the outer surface portion 424 in a direction away from the outer surface portion 424. That is, the inner support member 43 may be integrally formed with the outer support member 426.

[0115] The inner support member 43 extends from the storage portion 410 to the lower end of the support member 42. Furthermore, the inner support member 43 is formed with a predetermined length in the front-to-back direction and a width in the left-to-right direction, thereby ensuring that the accessory 40 is stably installed on the upper end of the shelf 32. Additionally, a drainage portion 430 for draining water from the storage portion 410 can be formed in the inner support member 43.

[0116] As an example, the aforementioned inner support member 43 may include sidewalls 431 spaced apart from each other and a connecting wall 432 connecting the ends of the sidewalls 431. One end of the sidewalls 431 is connected via the aforementioned outer surface portion 424, and the other end is connected via the aforementioned connecting wall 432.

[0117] The spacing between the sidewalls 431 corresponds to the distance between the longitudinal ribs 44, and the position of the connecting wall 432 corresponds to the position of the transverse ribs 45. Therefore, the inner support member 43 can be formed on the pair of sidewalls 431, the connecting wall 432, and the outer surface 424. Furthermore, the upper and lower surfaces of the inner support member 43 are open, thereby forming a drainage section 430 that communicates vertically. At this time, the upper surface of the drainage section 430, i.e., the upper surface of the opening of the inner support member 43, coincides with a grid formed by the longitudinal ribs 44 and the transverse ribs 45. Therefore, water from the collection section 410 can be smoothly drained downwards through the drainage section 430.

[0118] Furthermore, the lower end of the aforementioned inner support member 43 forms a step to form the aforementioned mounting groove 435. Specifically, the lower end of the aforementioned inner support member 43 may include a lower end portion 434 extending at the same height as the end of the aforementioned mounting portion 423, and a recessed portion 433 formed in a stepped shape at the lower end portion 434 to form the aforementioned mounting groove 435.

[0119] The recessed portion 433 is formed to be at least larger than the diameter of the main wire 321, so that the main wire 321 is completely housed inside the mounting groove 435. Furthermore, the recessed portion 433 can be sized to accommodate the front cover 34. Specifically, the mounting groove 435 for housing the upper end of the shelf 32 can be formed by the mounting portion 423 of the support member 42, the recessed portion 433, and the lower end.

[0120] Furthermore, the aforementioned support member 42 can be configured to extend to a predetermined height H, with the height difference from the end of the aforementioned placement groove 435 to the lower end of the aforementioned storage portion 410. As an example, the predetermined height H can be 30 mm. Therefore, when the aforementioned accessory is installed, space can be ensured so that the tableware stored in the aforementioned shelf does not interfere with the aforementioned storage portion 410.

[0121] Furthermore, the front end of the aforementioned recess 433 or the back side of the aforementioned outer support member 426 may be formed obliquely. Therefore, when the aforementioned main wire 321 is inserted into the interior of the aforementioned mounting groove 435, it can be guided to the inside of the aforementioned recess 433.

[0122] Furthermore, the size of the aforementioned mounting groove 435 can be formed to correspond to the size of the upper end of the aforementioned front cover 34, so that when the aforementioned accessory 40 is installed, the aforementioned front cover 34 can be inserted into the inner side of the aforementioned mounting groove 435. Therefore, the aforementioned accessory 40 will not move excessively in the forward and backward direction when it is installed on the aforementioned shelf 32.

[0123] The operation of the dishwasher 1 having the structure described above will now be explained.

[0124] Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional view showing the aforementioned accessories separated from the aforementioned shelf. Furthermore, Figure 10 This is a cross-sectional view showing one end of the aforementioned accessory installed onto the aforementioned shelf. Furthermore, Figure 11 This is a cross-sectional view showing the state in which the above-mentioned accessories have been installed on the above-mentioned shelf.

[0125] As shown in the figure, in order to effectively wash the tableware 2, the accessory 40 can be installed on the shelf 32. The tableware 2 can be placed on the accessory 40 for washing. The accessory 40 can be installed at the upper end of the shelf 32.

[0126] Specifically, such as Figure 9As shown, in order to store tableware in the shelf 32, the tableware to be washed can be stored inside the shelf 32 without the accessory 40 installed. Furthermore, to store the tableware 2, the accessory 40 can be positioned above the shelf 32. At this time, the accessory 40 is installed on the appropriate shelf 32 according to the storage state of the tableware.

[0127] Furthermore, depending on the arrangement of the tableware stored in the shelf 32, the accessory 40 can be moved in position by sliding in the left and right directions. Of course, excessive movement of the accessory 40 can be limited by the shelf protrusion 321a formed from the central part of the main shelf 32.

[0128] Furthermore, in order to accurately install the aforementioned accessory 40 onto the aforementioned shelf 32, the aforementioned support member 42 at the rear end of the aforementioned accessory 40 can be first placed onto the aforementioned main wire 321.

[0129] like Figure 10 As shown, when installing the accessory 40, the main wire 321 at the rear end of the shelf 32 can be inserted into the mounting groove 435 of the support member 42 formed at the rear end of the accessory 40. At this time, the diameter of the main wire 321 is smaller than the width of the mounting groove 435, thus the main wire 321 can be easily placed in the mounting groove 435. Furthermore, with the main wire 321 placed in the mounting groove 435, the accessory 40 can be moved in the front-back direction to finely adjust the position of the support member 42 used to mount the front end of the accessory 40. Specifically, the main wire 321 can be guided to the correct position within the mounting groove 435 by the inclined portion at the lower end of the outer support member 426.

[0130] When the rear end of the aforementioned accessory 40 is fixed in the correct installation position, the support member 42 at the front end of the aforementioned accessory 40 can be easily placed onto the front end of the aforementioned shelf 32. With the support member 42 at the rear end of the aforementioned accessory 40 placed onto the main wire 321 at the rear end of the aforementioned shelf 32, the aforementioned accessory 40 can be rotated to place the support member 42 at the front end of the aforementioned accessory 40 onto the front cover 34 at the front end of the aforementioned shelf 32.

[0131] like Figure 11 As shown, when the above-mentioned accessory 40 is installed on the upper end of the above-mentioned shelf 32, the front end and rear end support members 42 of the above-mentioned accessory 40 can be respectively placed on the front cover 34 at the front end and the main wire 321 at the rear end of the shelf 32.

[0132] At this time, the mounting portion 423 at the front end of the aforementioned accessory 40 surrounds the outer surface of the aforementioned front cover 34. At this time, as... Figure 4As shown, the correct installation state of the accessory 40 can be confirmed through the opening 425. When the mounting portion 423 is supported by the upper surface of the front cover 34 and the mounting portion 423 is in contact with the front surface of the front cover 34, the accessory 40 is in the correct installation state.

[0133] Furthermore, the front cover 34 is inserted into the mounting slot 435 and comes into contact with the mounting portion 423 and the lower end portion 434. Therefore, the accessory 40 remains stably mounted to the shelf 32 without shifting in the front-to-back direction.

[0134] Figure 12 This is a cutaway perspective view of the aforementioned accessories installed on the aforementioned shelf.

[0135] As shown in the figure, with the accessory 40 fully installed, the accessory 40 can slide in the left and right directions. In particular, the mounting slot 435 is in an open state in the left and right directions, so the accessory 40, when installed on the shelf 32, can also be moved in the left and right directions to adjust its position according to the state of the tableware stored on the shelf 32.

[0136] Furthermore, the support member 42 is kept in a stable support state by a pair of inner support members formed on the left and right sides, so the accessory 40 will not tilt or detach from the shelf 32 during the process of the accessory 40 moving left and right along the shelf 32.

[0137] Specifically, the shelf 32 is in contact with a pair of inner support members 43 on its inner side and with the mounting portion 423 on its outer side, thereby forming a stable support structure at three points between the end of the shelf 32 and the support members 42 and preventing the attachment 40 from detaching.

[0138] Furthermore, the inner support member 43, through the drainage portion 430 which opens vertically, allows water above the storage portion 410 to be more effectively drained to the bottom of the accessory 40. Water at the corners of the storage portion 410 is drained downwards through the opening 425 on the upper surface of the drainage portion 430 and falls downwards through the space formed by the side wall 431 and the connecting wall 432.

[0139] Figure 13 This is a cross-sectional view showing the arrangement of the aforementioned accessories and tableware placed on the aforementioned shelf.

[0140] As shown in the figure, with the aforementioned accessory 40 placed on the shelf 32, the lower end of the storage portion 410 is spaced upwards by a predetermined height H relative to the upper end of the shelf 32. Therefore, even if tableware 4, such as a water cup, stored on the shelf 32 protrudes upwards more than the upper end of the shelf 32, it will not interfere with the lower end of the storage portion 410.

[0141] Therefore, when installing the accessory 40, the limitations on placing the tableware 4 to be washed on the shelf 32 can be minimized. Furthermore, even when tableware 4 protruding upwards from the shelf 32 is placed, the accessory 40 can still be configured and slid.

[0142] On the other hand, the aforementioned annex 40 is positioned to the left or right of the shelf 32, occupying only a portion of the space on either side of the shelf 32 in the upper part of the shelf 32, thus allowing tall tableware to be placed freely in the remaining space.

[0143] Furthermore, when the cup or tableware 3 is placed using the cup holder 35, even if the accessory 40 is positioned on one side of the shelf 32, the side of the accessory 40 and the tableware 3 will not interfere with each other.

[0144] Specifically, in the first lateral portion 411 forming the side end of the aforementioned attachment 40, the outer portion 411b is formed to be higher than the inner portion 411a. Therefore, when the aforementioned cutlery 3 is arranged at an angle, the aforementioned attachment 40 can also provide space through the height difference between the lower ends of the outer portion 411b and the inner portion 411a. That is, corresponding to the inclination of the extension line passing through the lower ends of the outer portion 411b and the lower ends of the inner portion 411a, additional space can be formed below the left and right sides of the aforementioned attachment 40.

[0145] Therefore, the aforementioned accessory 40 provides space for placing tableware 3 along the side, thereby ensuring storage and guaranteeing the installation of the aforementioned accessory 40.

[0146] Figure 14 This is a diagram showing the shelf with the aforementioned accessories installed in the pushed-in position.

[0147] As shown in the figure, with the accessory 40 placed on the shelf 32, the shelf 32 can slide into / out of the washing space of the washing tub 11. At this time, when the accessory 40 is located at the outermost end of the shelf 32, the outer end of the accessory 40 can also protrude further to the side than the side end of the shelf 32.

[0148] In this state, when the shelf 32 is pushed in, the rear end of the attachment 40 contacts the side wall of the main body 10. Furthermore, the corner 413 of the attachment 40 is formed in an inclined or rounded shape, so it can contact the side wall of the main body 10 during the process of pushing in the shelf 32.

[0149] Therefore, the corner portion 413 can move along the side wall of the main body 10, and the attachment 40 can move towards the center of the shelf 32, i.e., towards the inside of the washing tub 11. The attachment 40 has a structure that allows it to slide along the upper end of the shelf 32. Therefore, when the shelf 32 is pushed in, even if the attachment 40 comes into contact with the side wall of the main body 10, it can move naturally without detaching from the shelf 32 or being interrupted during the pushing process, ensuring that the shelf 32 can be smoothly pushed in.

[0150] On the other hand, the present invention may have various other embodiments besides the embodiments described above. Hereinafter, other embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, structures not mentioned in the following description are the same as those in the embodiments described above; therefore, to avoid repetition, detailed descriptions and illustrations are omitted, and the same reference numerals are used for illustration. That is, only structures that differ from the embodiments described above will be specifically described below.

[0151] Figure 15 This is a cross-sectional view showing the state of attachments mounted on a shelf in another embodiment of the invention.

[0152] As shown in the figure, the dishwasher 1 of another embodiment of the present invention may include a shelf 32' for storing dishes to be washed. The overall structure of the shelf 32' is the same as that of the embodiment described above, but the shelf 32' does not include the front cover 34 of the embodiment described above.

[0153] That is, the upper end of the shelf 32' can be formed from the main wire. Furthermore, the upper ends of the front surface and the upper ends of the rear surface of the shelf 32' on which the accessory 40 is mounted can also be formed from the main wire 321.

[0154] The aforementioned attachment 40 can be configured to be identical to the attachment 40 in the above embodiment. Therefore, the front and rear support members 42 of the aforementioned attachment 40 can both be mounted on the aforementioned main wire 321. Specifically, a mounting groove 435 is formed at the lower end of the aforementioned support member 42 at the front and rear ends of the aforementioned attachment 40, in which the aforementioned main wire 321 can be accommodated.

[0155] At this time, the outer support member 426 is positioned further outward than the main wire 321, and the inner support member 43 is positioned further inward than the main wire 321, thereby maintaining the accessory 40 in a stable installation state. Furthermore, the main wire 321 contacts the mounting groove 435, thus supporting the support member 42 from below.

[0156] In this way, the aforementioned accessory 40 can be installed on the upper end of the aforementioned shelf 32' regardless of the presence or absence of the aforementioned front cover 34, and can maintain a stable installation state.

[0157] Figure 16 This is a partial side view of an attachment of another embodiment of the present invention.

[0158] As shown in the figure, in another embodiment of the present invention, an accessory 40' for storing the aforementioned tableware 2 to be washed can be installed on the shelf 32 of the dishwasher 1. The accessory 40' may have the same structure as in the above embodiment, with only some differences in the structure of the inner support member 43.

[0159] Specifically, the aforementioned accessory 40' includes a square-shaped frame 41, with multiple transverse ribs 45 and longitudinal ribs 44 formed inside the frame 41 to form a storage section 410. The frame 41 may include first side portions 411 forming the left and right sides and second side portions 412 forming the front and rear sides. Furthermore, the first side portions 411 may include an inner portion 411a and an outer portion 411b.

[0160] Furthermore, downwardly extending support members 42 may be formed at the front and rear ends of the aforementioned frame 41. The aforementioned support member 42 may include an outer support member 426 forming the outer surface of the aforementioned support member 42 and an inner support member 43 protruding from the back side of the aforementioned outer support member 426.

[0161] The aforementioned outer support member 426 may include a pair of extensions 420 extending downward from both left and right ends. Each extension 420 may include an upper extension 421 extending downward at an angle from the frame 41 and a lower extension 422 extending downward from the lower end of the upper extension 421. Furthermore, the outer support member 426 may include a mounting portion 423 connecting the lower ends of the extensions 420.

[0162] Furthermore, the inner support member 43 can protrude from the back of the outer support member 426 and extend downward from the receiving portion 410. A lower end portion 434' and a recessed portion 433 can be formed at the lower end of the inner support member 43. The mounting groove 435 can be formed from the lower end portion 434', the mounting portion 423, and the recessed portion 433.

[0163] When the aforementioned accessory 40' is installed, the main wire 321 of the aforementioned shelf 32 can be stored in the aforementioned mounting groove 435. Furthermore, the aforementioned accessory 40' can be held in place at the upper end of the aforementioned shelf 32 by the aforementioned inner support member 42 and outer support member 426.

[0164] On the other hand, the lower end of the inner support member 42, i.e., the lower end portion 434', may extend further downward than the lower end of the outer support member 426, i.e., the lower end of the mounting portion 423. The lower end of the inner support member 43 extends further downward by a predetermined height H4 than the lower end of the outer support member 426.

[0165] Therefore, when the aforementioned accessory 40' is detached from the shelf 32 and placed on the ground, only the lower end 434' of the inner support 43 is in contact with the ground, while the outer support 426 is spaced apart from the ground. Furthermore, the user can easily reach through the opening 425 to grasp the spaced-apart mounting portion 423, thus making it easy to move and handle the accessory 40'.
