At the same time, the water stored in the rinsing reservoir is heated for a certain amount with the heat in the washing tub and thus energy saving is provided.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the rinsing reservoir is configured to entirely surround the washing tub. By means of this embodiment, the hollow structure of the body is used maximally, and the volume of the dishwasher is used effectively and the water can be stored for washing and rinsing. In another embodiment of the present invention, the valve functions directionally so as to allow passage of water only from the rinsing reservoir to the washing reservoir. By means of this embodiment, the water in the rinsing reservoir is prevented from getting dirty by the washing water. In another embodiment of the present invention, the valve functions bidirectionally such that water is transferred from the washing reservoir to the rinsing reservoir and from the rinsing reservoir to the washing reservoir.
By means of the present invention, while the size of the dishwasher is kept small, the entire amount of water to be used in washing and rinsing is filled at one time and stored and at the same time the water used in the washing and rinsing steps is prevented from mixing with each other. Moreover, by means of the body having a gap between itself and the washing tub, the water to be used in the rinsing step is heated by making use of the heat in the washing tub and energy is saved in heating the rinsing water.
