Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher with a half load function.
  • a user may need to operate from time to time a domestic dishwasher even when the upper rack and the lower rack are not completely loaded with dishes. In such instances, the valuable resources including fresh water, electrical energy and detergent are unnecessarily wasted. In general, in a prior at dishwasher, most of the energy is needed for heating and circulating the wash liquor. To improve customer convenience, the dishwashers are usually provided with a half load function. Dishwashers with the half load function are commonly known. In such a dishwasher the user can choose to conduct the washing with only one of the upper rack and the lower rack, and its associated rotating spray arm.

  • the washing can be confined to the upper part or the lower part of the tub which is to be mainly used in combination with the half load function.
  • the partition plate prevents the water sprayed by the lower spray means from intruding into the upper part of the washing tub.
  • the thermal energy of the wash liquor is prevented from being lost to the upper part of the tub, in particular to the upper sections of the tub surface and the other functional components disposed therein.
  • the partition plate reflects the water sprayed by the upper spray means back into the upper part of the washing tub, but allows by virtue of the size of the partition plate, the wash liquor to drain along the surface of the tub into the sump.
