If the storage unit 133 is provided to have a sectional area smaller than the area of the connecting unit 131, the pump 8 may be located at a lower area of the connecting unit 131, wherein the storage unit 133 is not provided at the lower area of the connecting unit 131, whereby the volume of the dishwasher 100 may be minimized.
The storage unit 133 is supplied with the washing water through a water supply path 135 connected to a water supply source (not shown), and the washing water stored in the storage unit 133 is discharged out of the cabinet 1 through a drainage path 137 and a drainage pump 139.
The spray arms provided in the present invention may include the lower arm 5 for washing the washing target provided inside the tub 11 and received in the lower rack 193, and the upper arm 3 for washing the washing target received in the upper rack 191.
The lower arm 5 and the upper arm 3 are supplied with the washing water through the pump 8 and a supply path 7, wherein the supply path 7 may be provided with a first supply path 71 connected to the lower arm 5, a second supply path 73 connected to the upper arm 3, and a switching valve 75 selectively opening the respective supply paths 71 and 73.
If the lower arm 5 is provided rotatably inside the tub 11, the lower arm 5 may rotatably be coupled to a holder 17 provided in the cover 15, and the first supply path 71 may be provided to supply the washing water to the holder 17.
In the meantime, if the upper arm 3 is provided rotatably inside the tub 11, the upper arm 3 may rotatably be coupled to the second supply path 73.
The pump 8 may include a housing 81 provided with an impeller 85, an inlet 84 through which the washing water flows into the housing 81, an outlet 82 through which the washing water inside the housing 181 is discharged out, and a motor 87 provided outside the housing 181, for rotating the impeller 85.
The inlet 84 is connected to the storage unit 133 through an inlet connecting pipe 97, and the outlet 82 is connected to the switching valve 75 through an outlet connecting pipe 99.
Therefore, if the impeller 85 is rotated as the motor 87 is supplied with a power, the water supplied from the sump 13 to the housing 81 moves to the switching valve 75 through the outlet 82, and the water supplied to the switching valve 75 is supplied to the upper arm 3 or the lower arm 5 along the supply paths 71 and 73 opened by the switching valve 75.
The pump 8 is fixed into the cabinet 1 through an insulating unit 91, wherein the insulating unit is a means for attenuating vibration generated in the pump 8 to prevent the vibration from being transferred to the sump 13 and the cabinet 1.
According to the present invention, it is preferable that two or more insulating units are provided as means for spacing the outer circumference of the pump 8 apart from the bottom of the cabinet 1 at a predetermined distance and spacing the outer circumference of the pump 8 apart from the sump 13 at a predetermined distance.
FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a main portion of one embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 2, the base 200 may be provided with a coupling portion 210 that may support the cabinet 1. The coupling portion 210 may be provided at a plurality of points of the base 200 to support load of the cabinet 1. For example, the coupling portion 210 may be provided at three points of the base 200, whereby the base 200 may be supported by the three points from the bottom.
A support 300 that supports the cabinet 1 is inserted into the coupling portion 210. A length of the support 300 inserted into the coupling portion 210 may be changed, and therefore its height may be changed.
FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a support, and FIG. 4 is a view illustrating a state that a support is coupled to a coupling portion.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the coupling portion 210 includes a hollow shaped coupling hole 220 and a plurality of first threads 224 formed in the coupling hole 220.
The support 300 includes a plurality of second threads 310 engaged with the first thread 224s, and a stopper 320 formed to be protruded at a groove 314 between the second threads 310.
The plurality of second threads 310 may be formed consecutively to each other and provided along an outer circumference of the support 300.
That is, the second threads 310 may be engaged with the first threads 224, whereby a depth of the support 300 inserted into the coupling hole 220 may be controlled, and a height of the dishwasher may be controlled.
The grooves 314 are formed between the respective second threads 310 to have a height lower than the second thread 310. The stopper 320 is provided at the groove 314, whereby the groove 314 becomes higher at the portion where the stopper 320 is arranged.
The stopper 320 may be formed at any one of the grooves 314 of the plurality of second threads 310. That is, one stopper 320 not a plurality of stoppers may be provided to connect two threads 310 with each other. Since only one stopper 320 is provided, only a little friction may be generated between the stopper 320 and the first thread 224 even though the stopper 320 is in contact with the first thread 224. For example, if a plurality of stoppers are provided, since an area of the stopper 300 which is in contact with the coupling portion 210 is large, friction becomes large to act as an obstacle in movement of the support 300. By contrast, in this embodiment, it is advantageous that a little friction is generated between the stopper 320 and the coupling portion 210 when the support 300 controls its length coupled to the coupling portion 210.
The stopper 320 may be formed longitudinally in a direction parallel with a moving direction of the support 300 when the support 300 is rotated. The support 300 has a screw shape, and if the support 300 is rotated, the support 300 may move upwardly or downwardly based on FIG. 3. That is, the stopper 320 may be extended longitudinally in a vertical direction based on FIG. 3.
The stopper 320 may be formed to have a relatively high center and relatively low both sides.
Of course, the stopper 320 may be formed to have a center lower than the height of the second thread 310. Since the amount of interference of the stopper 320 with the first thread 244 may be reduced as compared with the case that the stopper 320 has a shape extended as much as the height of the second thread 310, the support 300 may easily be moved within the coupling portion 210.
Meanwhile, the stopper 320 may be provided at the lower one of the grooves 314 of the plurality of second threads 310. If the stopper 320 is provided at the lower groove 314, the stopper 320 may be in less contact with the coupling portion 210 than the stopper 320 provided at the upper one of the grooves 314 of the second threads 310, whereby the support 320 may be moved with a little friction.
Particularly, the stopper 320 may be formed at the groove 314 arranged next to bottom.
The coupling portion 210 may include an area 230 where the first threads 224 are not formed so as not to be engaged with the second threads 310. That is, the plurality of first threads 224 may be spaced apart from each other based on the area 230 without being consecutively formed in one body. That is, if a virtual extension line connecting the plurality of first threads 224 is drawn, one overall thread is formed but the first threads 224 are arranged to be disconnected from each other on the virtual extension line.
The plurality of first threads 224 may include a third thread 226 formed to be more protruded toward the center of the coupling hole 220 than the other first thread. That is, the third thread 226 is higher than the first thread 224.
At this time, since the height of the third thread 225 is not high to be in contact with the groove 314, interference does not occur between the third thread 226 and the groove 314.
Particularly, a stepped piece 228 is formed to be stepped from the coupling hole 220 at one end of the third thread 226, and may be arranged toward the area 230.
When the stopper 320 passes through the area 230, since the stopper 320 is not in contact with the coupling portion 210, a user may rotate the support 300 at a small force without feeling friction caused by the stopper 320 when moving the support 300 by rotating the support 300.
Particularly, if the first thread 224 has a height so as not to be in contact with the stopper 320, the user does not feel inconvenience caused by the stopper 320 in rotating the support 300.
However, since friction caused by interference between the third thread 226 and the stopper 320 occurs when the support 300 is in contact with the third thread 226, the user should rotate the support 300 by applying a force for overcoming the friction when moving the support 300.
The support 300 includes a mounting bar 330, and the mounting bar 330 is provided with a plane thereon.
The coupling portion 210 may include an extension bar 230 that may prevent the support 300 from being inserted into the coupling hole 220 any more than a predetermined length if the support 300 is inserted into the coupling hole 220 at the predetermined length. That is, if the support 300 is sufficiently inserted into the coupling hole 220, the mounting bar 330 is in contact with the extension bar 230 as shown in FIG. 4a, and the support 300 is not inserted into the coupling hole 220 any more.
If the mounting bar 330 is in contact with the extension bar 230, the stopper 320 may be arranged in the area 230.
Also, since the stopper 320 is arranged in a portion where the second groove is formed, in the state of FIG. 4a, the stopper 320 is arranged at the upper groove of the portion where the third thread 226 is arranged. The third thread 226 is arranged below the stopper 320 when the mounting bar 330 is in contact with the extension bar 230.
Therefore, even though the dishwasher shakes in the state of FIG. 4a or the support 300 is rotated by unwanted movement, the stopper 320 is in contact with the third thread 226, especially the stepped piece 228. The support 300 is not rotated as far as a force that rotates the stopper 320 clockwise in the state of FIG. 4b to pass through the stepped piece 228 is not applied to the support 300. The support 300 may be prevented from being detached from the coupling portion 210.
FIG. 5 is a view illustrating a state that a support is loosed from a coupling portion at a predetermined length.
Referring to FIG. 5, the stopper 320 is arranged below the third thread 226 unlike FIG. 4a.
The stopper 320 is arranged above the third thread 226 in FIG. 4a, whereas the stopper 320 is arranged below the third thread 226 in FIG. 5. In this case, since the stopper 320 should pass through the third thread 226, friction of the third thread 226, which includes the stepped piece 228, should be overcome.
Therefore, since it is difficult for the stopper 320 to pass through the third thread 226 without depending on intentional action of a user or worker, the support 300 may be prevented from being unintentionally detached from the coupling portion 210.
Also, since the stopper 320 is rotated without being in contact with the first thread 224 in the state of FIG. 5 that the stopper 320 is arranged below the third thread 226, friction caused by the stopper 320 does not occur when the user moves the support 300. That is, since the user may control the length of the support 300 inserted into the coupling hole 220 by using a force that may overcome a frictional level between the first thread 224 and the second thread 310, the user may easily control the height of the dishwasher.
That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the support 300 may be prevented from being detached from the coupling portion 210 by an unwanted operation or status in a state that the support 300 is inserted into the coupling portion 210 at a certain depth or more.
On the other hand, the support 300 may easily be rotated from the coupling portion 210 in a state that the support 300 is taken out of the coupling portion 210 at a specific depth or more, whereby the height of the dishwasher may be controlled due to movement of the support 300.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the invention. Thus, the above embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention should be determined by reasonable interpretation of the appended claims and all change which comes within the equivalent scope of the invention are included in the scope of the invention.
