헹굼 단계에는 세척수를 분사하여 세제를 씻어내고, 건조 단계에서는 식기에 남아있는 수분을 제거할 수 있다.In the rinsing step, washing water is sprayed to wash off the detergent, and in the drying step, moisture remaining on the dishes may be removed.
이러한 식기의 세척이 이루어지는 세척조에는 식기를 수용하는 바스켓이 마련될 수 있다. 사용자가 식기의 수납이나 인출을 편리하게 수행하도록, 바스켓은 세척조의 전면으로 인출 가능하게 설치될 수 있다. 이때, 바스켓의 양 측에는 레일이 설치되어 바스켓의 이동을 가이드할 수 있다.A basket for receiving dishes may be provided in a washing tank in which such dishes are washed. In order for the user to conveniently store or take out dishes, the basket may be installed to be able to be withdrawn to the front of the washing tank. At this time, rails are installed on both sides of the basket to guide the movement of the basket.
일반적으로, 바스켓은 볼을 사용하여 레일을 따라 구름 운동하며 이동할 수 있다.In general, the basket can be moved by rolling along the rail using a ball.
레일에는 볼의 회전이 가능하도록 레이스웨이가 형성될 수 있고, 레이스웨이에는 식기세척기의 행정 중 이물질이 쌓이거나, 세척수가 쉽게 집수될 수 있다.A raceway may be formed on the rail so that the ball can be rotated, and foreign matter may accumulate on the raceway during the travel of the dishwasher, or wash water may be easily collected.
레이스웨이에 이물질이 쌓이거나, 세척수가 집수된 상태에서 장기간 방치되는 경우, 레이스웨이에 쌓인 이물질은 굳어질 수 있고, 굳어진 이물질과 볼의 마찰로 인해 소음이 발생되거나, 바스켓의 인입 인출에 간섭이 발생할 수 있다.If foreign matter accumulates on the raceway or is left unattended for a long time in the state where washing water is collected, the foreign matter accumulated on the raceway may harden, and noise may be generated due to the friction between the hardened foreign matter and the ball, or interference with the in/out of the basket.
