The spray arrangement according to the present invention which is suitable for use in a dishwasher such that the spray arrangement is located to rotate along a plane parallel to the base of the rack for spraying a cleaning liquid to the dishes, wherein the spray arrangement comprises: the main body (1) in the form of a chamber; the spray arm (2), a part of which extends out of the main body (1), wherein the spray arm (2) has an angled hole (2a) thereon, enables the main body (1) to rotate by spraying the cleaning liquid passing through the spray arm (2) through said angled hole (2a) by means of a passage opening, and moves backward and forward; the movement mechanism which provides movement of the spray arm (2) by transferring rotational movement of the main body (1) to the spray arm (2); the liquid inlet (1f), wherein cleaning liquid received from a source is delivered to the dishes through holes on spray arm (2); the holder bearing (1a) which is located above the opening, and guides movement of the spray arm (2), wherein the spray arm (2) is fitted at the space between the holder bearing (1a) and the opening; the liquid distribution member (5) through which the cleaning liquid from the liquid inlet (1f) is distributed to the spray arm (2); and the delivery line (6) which is in connection with the passage opening and is connected to the liquid distribution member (5) such that the delivery line (6), in the closed position of the spray arm (2), is at an opposite side of the liquid distribution member (5) facing the passage opening, wherein the cleaning liquid reaching the liquid distribution member (5) is transferred to the spray arm (2).

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a dishwashing machine includes a tub accommodating tableware, a nozzle assembly spraying washing water, a vane assembly changing a traveling direction of the washing water sprayed from the nozzle assembly to move linearly inside the tub, a user interface for receiving a divided washing zone selected by a user, and a control unit controlling movement of the vane assembly to wash the selected divided zone by the washing water including the changed traveling direction.

A dishwasher is provided in which tableware is capable of being washed with washing water of a high pressure by preventing the pressure of the washing water from dropping. The dishwasher includes a main body in which a washing tub is formed, a sump provided in the main body and storing washing water, a plurality of injection nozzles to inject the washing water into the washing tub, a plurality of flow passages respectively connected to the plurality of injection nozzles, and a distribution apparatus configured to selectively open and close the plurality of flow passages and communicate with the plurality of flow passages, respectively, and including rotary member having a plurality of independent connection passages and a case in which the rotary member is accommodated.

A dishwasher includes a tub that accommodates dishes; a nozzle assembly that sprays washing water; a vane assembly that is moved between a first position and a second position of an inside of the tub and changes a progression path of the washing water so that the sprayed washing water can be directed toward the dishes; and a controller that moves the vane assembly to the second position if the vane assembly is disposed at the first position. When a linear washing portion washes a small quantity of dishes by spraying washing water while making a reciprocal motion in part of an inside of a washing chamber, a washing time can be reduced, and concentrated washing can also be performed.

A dishwasher may include a sump configured to store water, a main arm disposed at the sump and configured to supply water from the sump, an auxiliary arm rotatably disposed at the main arm and configured to spray water, and an auxiliary arm connection member disposed at the main arm and configured to rotatably support the auxiliary arm, where the auxiliary arm may include an auxiliary flow passage configured to allow water flow through the auxiliary arm, where the main arm may include a transfer flow passage in fluid communication with the auxiliary flow passage, where the auxiliary arm connection member may include a flow tube disposed at the main arm in fluid communication with the transfer flow passage and the auxiliary flow passage.

Disclosed is a dishwasher ejecting wash water containing microbubbles. The dishwasher according to an embodiment includes a tub accommodating dishes therein, a plurality of wash arms spraying wash water into the tub, a bubble nozzle ejecting wash water containing microbubbles to the bottom of the tub, a sump disposed below the bottom of the tub and collecting wash water therein, a wash pump pumping wash water collected in the sump, a channel-switching unit supplying wash water pumped by the wash pump to at least one of the plurality of wash arms, and a bubble module generating microbubbles in wash water pumped by the wash pump and supplying the wash water containing microbubbles to the bubble nozzle, and a controller operates the wash pump and controls the channel-switching unit and the bubble module to spray wash water through at least one of the plurality of wash arms and simultaneously to eject wash water through the bubble nozzle.

A dishwasher and method for operating the same utilize a rack-mounted rotatable conduit with a return mechanism that positions the rotatable conduit to a predetermined rotational position when the conduit is disconnected from a docking arrangement on a wall of a wash tub.

A dishwasher and method for operating the same utilize a diverter valve to control via rotation the flow of fluid such as wash fluid or pressurized air to a rotatable conduit supported in the rack of a dishwasher. A valve member may be disposed at a predetermined rotational position about an axis of rotation of the conduit such that a fluid inlet on a rotatable valve body may be rotated to the predetermined rotational position to restrict fluid flow to the conduit.

A dishwasher, dishwasher sprayer, and method for assembling the same utilize a rotatable conduit that is supported in a cantilevered fashion on a wash tub wall of the dishwasher. The rotatable conduit may be supported within a conduit support and may project through an aperture in the conduit support, and may include a shoulder portion that inhibits axial movement of the rotatable conduit within the conduit support.

Provided is a dishwasher having an improved structure capable of selecting whether to spray wash water. The dishwasher includes a washing tub, a basket provided in the washing tub to accommodate dishware, a duct provided in the washing tub to be supplied with wash water, a sub-duct mounted on the basket to guide the wash water, a connection pipe connected to the sub-duct, and a spray nozzle coupled to the connection pipe to be rotatable from a first position where the connection pipe is open and a second position where the connection pipe is closed.
