During washing and cleaning process, as result of spraying the high temperature water with detergent onto the dishes, some part of stuck and dried remains on the dishes are dissolved while some are not.
Therefore, dishes are generally placed into the dishwasher after a pre-soaking process or the dishwashers are started at pre-wash program in addition to main washing program. Depending on intensity of dried remains stuck on the dishes, during cleaning process, pre-soaking either performed by the user before placing into dishwasher or by the dishwasher after placing cause extra time, power and energy in terms of operating plural numbers of program for efficient cleaning in dishwasher and in terms of water amount used.
In the state of the art, in utility model application numbered TR 2011/06855; a magnetic washing ball which ensures to have softer and cleaner utensils by using less detergent and less cleaning agents in dishwashers is disclosed. Magnetic washing ball in question comprises magnets formed inside its main body. During its production, magnet coating layer is formed on outer surface of magnets inside the subject matter magnetic washing ball in order to prevent the problems arising due to fire and to meet the requirements such as avoiding the corrosion.
In the patent application document CN106562750A, rubber washing-aiding ball for dish washing machine is disclosed. Rubber washing balls has a metal inner core, wherein the metal inner core is coated by high elasticity rubber material. There are semi-hard convex thorns on the high elasticity rubber coating. Dishwasher is prevented from oil and dirt by means of the subject matter high elasticity rubber coated inner core and its semi-hard convex thorn surfaces.
The utility model numbered CN203252620U, the dishwasher has plurality of washing balls in its washing chamber, wherein the ball comprises a ball body and bustles arranged on its surface. It is mentioned that the subject matter washing balls can flow along with the water so that the dishes can be cleaned.
The Technical Problems That the Invention Aims to Solve
The dishwashers are not able to completely clean the dishes having remains stuck and dried thereon without pre-soaking process applied by the user or extra washing programs performed by the machine, extra cleaning agent and hot water. This process causes extra time, power and energy loss. The prominent aim of the invention is to ensure cleaning of the dishes by fragmenting stuck and dried remains via spherical 35 balls in millimetric sizes with mechanical force effect without the loss of extra time, power and energy.
Another aim of the invention is to improve a simple and efficient cleaning system. Description of the Figures
