Abstract
A dish washing machine having a structure improved to increase washing efficiency is provided. The dish washing machine includes a washing tub for washing dishes, an injection unit to inject washing water into the washing tub, and a deflection unit to move inside the washing tub to deflect the washing water injected from the injection unit toward the dishes. The deflection unit includes a first vane to be linearly movable in a direction in which the washing water is injected and a second vane to interwork with the first vane.
Claims57
A dish washing machine comprising:
- a washing tub for washing dishes;
- an injection unit to inject washing water into the washing tub to wash the dishes;
- and
- a deflection unit movable inside the washing tub to deflect at least a part of the washing water injected from the injection unit toward at least some of the dishes,
- wherein the deflection unit comprises a first vane that is linearly movable and a second vane disposed in parallel with the first vane in a movable direction of the first vane.
A dish washing machine comprising:
- a washing tub for washing dishes;
- an injection unit to inject a first part of a washing water in a first direction away from a center of the washing tub and to inject a second part of the washing water in a second direction opposite to the first direction;
- a first vane linearly movable inside the washing tub to deflect at least a part of the washing water to at least a part of the washing tub;
- and
- a second vane movable in parallel with the first vane to deflect at least an other part of the washing water to another part of the washing tub.
A dish washing machine comprising:
- a washing tub for washing dishes;
- a first nozzle to inject a part of a washing water in a first direction away from a center of the washing tub;
- a second nozzle to inject an other part of the washing water in a second direction opposite to the first direction;
- a first vane movable to deflect the part of the washing water injected from the first nozzle toward at least some of the dishes;
- a second vane movable in a moving direction of the first vane to deflect the other part of the washing water injected from the second nozzle toward at least some of the dishes;
- and
- a flow channel switching unit to supply at least a part of the washing water to at least any one of the first nozzle and the second nozzle.
A dish washing machine comprising:
- a cabinet forming an exterior of the dish washing machine;
- a washing tub provided in the cabinet and to wash dishes;
- an injection unit to inject washing water into the washing tub;
- a dish basket to store the dishes in the washing tub with a variable installation position;
- a deflection unit below the dish basket on a path of at least part of the washing water injected from the injection unit to switch a direction of at least part of the injected washing water;
- and
- a power transmission device to transfer power such that the deflection unit is movable below the dish basket,
- wherein the power transmission device comprises:
- a motor fixable to one side of the washing tub and to generate a driving force, and
- a gear unit to transfer the driving force of the motor to the deflection unit and comprising a plurality of gears at different heights to respectively correspond to a variable position of the dish basket.
A deflection unit mountable in a washing machine, the deflection unit comprising:
- a first vane linearly movable in a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction;
- and
- a second vane disposed in parallel with the first vane in a moving direction of the first vane,
- wherein the second vane is interworkable with the first vane to deflect washing water towards an item to be washed in the washing machine.
A washing machine comprising:
- a washing tub for washing items;
- an injection unit to inject a washing fluid into the washing tub to wash the items;
- and
- a deflection unit movable inside the washing tub to deflect at least a part of the washing fluid injected from the injection unit toward at least some of the items,
- wherein the deflection unit comprises a first vane that is linearly movable and a second vane disposed in parallel with the first vane in a movable direction of the first vane.
