Abstract
A dishwasher includes a main body, a washing tub provided inside the main body, and configured to wash dishes therein, a fixed nozzle assembly fixed to one side of the washing tub, and configured to spray washing water; and a vane installed inside the washing tub in such a way to be movable along a first direction, and configured to reflect washing water sprayed from the fixed nozzle assembly toward the dishes.
Claims20
A dishwasher comprising:
- a main body;
- a washing tub provided inside the main body;
- a fixed nozzle assembly fixed to one side of the washing tub, and configured to spray washing water in a first direction;
- and
- a vane installed inside the washing tub, extending lengthwise in a second direction, and configured to be movable along the first direction and to reflect the washing water sprayed from the fixed nozzle assembly,
- wherein the fixed nozzle assembly comprises:
- a first fixed nozzle facing the vane in the first direction, and arranged along the second direction;
- a second fixed nozzle arranged along the second direction so that the first fixed nozzle and the second fixed nozzle correspond to the lengthwise extension of the vane, and facing the vane in the first direction;
- and
- a third fixed nozzle positioned above the first fixed nozzle and the second fixed nozzle in a third direction perpendicular to the second direction, and facing the vane in the first direction, and
- wherein the vane comprises:
- a reflection surface facing the fixed nozzle assembly;
- and
- a plurality of reflection sections provided on the reflection surface along the third direction, and inclined at different angles with respect to the first direction in which the washing water is sprayed from the fixed nozzle assembly.
