  • the present invention provides a dishwasher which increases the spray pressure of the cleaning water ejected from the nozzles by mixing the cleaning water with air so that the washability can be enhanced, not with increasing the amount of the water used, but with a fixed amount of the water used.
  • the present invention permits to obtain the same or a higher washability while reducing the flow rate of the water used as much as a flow rate of the air being drawn into the cleaning water.
  • the Venturi effect may be used, which is an effect of a venturi tube that is a short tube having a reduced cross sectional area on a fluid flow. Since a flow speed of the fluid becomes faster (The continuity equation) when the fluid flows through the venturi tub having the reduced cross sectional area, and, if the flow speed increases, since a water pressure drops (Bernoulli equation), the air can be drawn through a hole made in a portion the water pressure is dropped.
  • FIG. 2 is a section illustrating an air mixing unit applied to the present invention.
  • the air mixing unit 70 may include a compression tube 171 having a partial reduction of a cross sectional area in a flow direction of the cleaning water, an air suction hole 172 for serving as a suction passage of the air into an inside of the tube by a pressure dropped owing to the venturi effect, an air introduction hole 173 opened to an outside of the tube for serving as a passage of air introduction, and a buffer portion 174 for buffering a pressure difference between the inside of the tube and the outside of the tube.

  • two or more than two air suction holes 172 may be formed, symmetrically (Point symmetry, or line symmetry).
  • the buffering portion 174 has a donut shape which surrounds the portion of the reduced cross sectional area for preventing the cleaning water being discharging through the air suction hole 172 from escaping to an outside of the compression tube 171 to hold remaining water therein, and controlling a pressure of the air being drawn through the air suction hole 172 .
  • positions of the air suction holes 172 and the air introduction holes 173 may be formed not to be arranged on a line with each other in a radial direction with reference to an axis of the tube.
  • the air mixing unit 70 which utilizes the venturi effect is mounted between the sump 50 which supplies the cleaning water, and the nozzle 135 which sprays the cleaning water for increasing the spray pressure of the cleaning water sprayed through the nozzle 135 even if a small amount is used, wherein it may be favorable to mount the air mixing unit 70 at a position close to the nozzle 135 through which the cleaning water is ejected moved away from the tube through which the cleaning water is passing.
  • a number of the air introduction holes 173 and/or a size (A cross sectional area) thereof in the air mixing unit 70 may be determined with reference to a cross sectional area of the nozzle 135 which ejects the water, and the reduced cross sectional area of the compression tube 171 may also be a factor for determining the number of the air introduction holes 173 and/or a size (A cross sectional area) thereof.
  • FIG. 3 is schematic view illustrating an example of an air mixing unit mounted to a spray arm in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the symmetric spray arm 30 is connected to an end of the supply flow passage 141 with a connection portion 136 at a center portion of the spray arm 30 , and has a plurality of the nozzles 135 on both sides thereof for spraying the cleaning water to the cleaning space uniformly while the spray arm 30 is rotating round the connection portion 136 by the pressure generated when the cleaning water is sprayed through the nozzles 135 supplied thereto through the supply flow passage 141 .

If the air mixing unit is mounted close to an end of the spray arm away from the center of the spray arm, mass of the spray arm to be rotated becomes large due weight of the air mixing unit to require a spray pressure higher than before for rotating the spray arm, resulting in a low rotation speed of the spray arm even if the cleaning water is ejected from the cleaning water at the same spray pressure, thereby making the washability poor.
  • the nozzle 135 is formed in the spray arm 30 tilted to one side for rotating the spray arm 30 and ejects the cleaning water, wherein the spray arm 30 rotates in a direction opposite to a horizontal component of a direction in which the nozzle 135 ejects the cleaning water.
  • the position of the air introduction hole 173 which is a passage for introducing the air from an outside to an inside of the tube may be determined taking the direction (Or, the rotation direction of the spray arm) in which the nozzle 135 ejects the cleaning water into account.
  • a pressure in the vicinity of the air introduction hole 173 may be low, relatively. If the air introduction hole 173 is formed in a direction in which the nozzle 135 ejects the cleaning water, or in a rear side of the direction of rotation of the spray arm 30 , to drop a pressure on the rear side of the rotation of the spray arm 30 , the direction of the air introduction hole 173 is liable to interfere with the rotation of the spray arm 30 .

  • the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 suggests mounting the air mixing unit 70 , not to a movable member, but a stationary member, making the position of the air introduction hole 173 not to influence to the spray pressure of the cleaning water, significantly.
  • the supply flow passage 141 is formed extended from a lower side to an upper side of the tub 115 along an inside circumference of the tub 115 in a rear side of the washing space and, therefrom, bent toward the center of the cleaning space, extended to the middle of the upper arm 131 , and bent at 90 degrees finally so as to be coupled to the connection portion 136 of the upper arm 131 for supplying the cleaning water to upward from the sump 50 which is placed on a lower side of the dishwasher for storing the cleaning water.
