Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The dishwasher according to the present invention is constructed so that vegetable can be cleaned using a dishwasher. To this end, a tray (not shown) or a vegetable (not shown) for washing dishes is installed in the washing space 120 of the dishwasher So that the vegetable cleaning drum 200 for washing can be installed in a replaceable manner.

The vegetable cleaning drum 200 includes a tubular body 210 having a space formed therein and a plurality of tubular members 210 extending through the inside and outside of the body 210 Holes 211 are continuously formed at regular intervals so that the cold water sprayed from the outside of the body 210 can be moved into the body 210 through the through holes 211, So that the vegetables to be placed can be easily washed.

Here, it is not necessary to define the through holes 211 in a rectangular shape, but the length and width of the through holes 211 can be modified corresponding to the vegetables to be mainly used.

A part of the body 210 is opened and closed so that the vegetable can be inserted into or withdrawn from the body 210. When a part of the body 210 is separated from the body 210, So that the inside of the body 210 can be opened or closed according to the rotation of the rotating lid 230. [

It should be noted that the means by which the inside of the body 210 can be opened or closed is not limited to the rotating lid 230 and any side surface of the body 210 may be separated from the body 210 And the side surface and the body 210 may be locked or unlocked using a separate coupling means.

As a means for preventing the rotation of the rotating lid 230 of the body 210 from being easily maintained without being maintained in a rotated state, a locking groove 212 is formed on a side surface of the body 210, And a locking protrusion 231 is formed on the inner surface of the lid 230 so as to be fixed to the locking groove 212.

At this time, the latching groove 212 is formed in a concave hemispherical shape, and when the latching protrusion 231 is formed in a convex hemisphere shape, when the latching protrusion 231 is inserted in the latching groove 212, The locking protrusion 231 is released from the locking groove 212 so that the locking lid 230 and the locking lid 230 can be effectively opened or closed by the locking protrusion 231 and the locking groove 212.

As a means for mounting the body 210 in the cleaning space 120, a fixing bracket 300 is installed on the inner surface of the upper portion of the lower body 110 so as to face the fixing bracket 300, And a supporting member 400 capable of supporting the body 210 is connected to the fitting part 310. The supporting part 400 is connected to the fitting part 310. [
