Description

This invention relates to a dishwasher equipped with a drain pump and a washing pump. As a dishwasher, for example, one has been proposed in which a rinsing pump is arranged in a left-right direction relative to the washing pump and drainage section in the machine room at the bottom of the washing tank (Patent Document 1). Japanese Patent Publication No. 2001-238846 This is a perspective view of the dishwasher according to the embodiment, seen from the front and above, where (a) shows the door in the closed state and (b) shows the door in the open state with the basket pulled out.This is a perspective view of a dishwasher, showing a cross-section perpendicular to the left-right direction, as seen from the front and above.This is a perspective view from the rear and above, with the door body, left panel, back panel, and top panel removed.This is a perspective view showing the upper body member, lower body member, and lower cover separated vertically. (a) shows the view from the front and above, and (b) shows the view from the rear and below.This is a perspective view of the surrounding area, including the water collection section, seen from the front and above. (a) shows the filter installed, and (b) shows the filter removed.This is a cross-sectional view of the surrounding area, including the water collection section, seen from the right side. (a) shows the filter installed, and (b) shows the filter removed.This is a perspective view of the cross-section of the surrounding area (excluding the cover plate), including the water distributor, as seen from the rear and above.(a) is a perspective view from below of the surrounding area including the water collection section and water distributor (excluding the cleaning pump), and (b) is a perspective view from above of the water distributor with a portion of it disassembled.This is a perspective view of the lower part of the washing chamber; (a) is a view from the front with the drain pipe removed, and (b) is a view from the rear with the water supply pipe removed.This is a view of the bottom cover from below.This is a diagram illustrating the arrangement of functional components, etc.This diagram illustrates a modified arrangement of functional components and other parts. <Implementation> 1. Overall: This will be explained primarily using Figure 1. Dishwasher X is a so-called front-opening type, in which the door 113 is tilted (opened) and the baskets 21 and 23 inside the washing chamber 11 are pulled out for use. Although not shown in the diagram, dishwasher X is built into the kitchen counter. In this embodiment, with the dishwasher in the washing operation state (state shown in Figure 1(a)), the side facing the user to the washing chamber is defined as the front, the direction perpendicular to the front is defined as the front-rear direction, and the direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction in the horizontal direction is defined as the left-right direction. "Right" or "left" is based on the user's perspective when facing the front. Alternatively, the front may be defined as the side facing the user who operates the control panel 83 of the dishwasher X. Furthermore, if the dishwasher X is provided with a door 113, the side on which the closed door 113 is located becomes the front, and the direction perpendicular to the closed door 113 becomes the front-to-back direction. Dishwasher X is, for example, a "slim-width type" dishwasher with a width of 30 cm in the left-right direction. The door 113 can be opened and closed using the handle 114 at the top of the door 113. When the door 113 is open, the dishwasher X houses baskets 21 and 23 that can be moved in and out of the washing chamber 11 (washing chamber body 111). Here, the baskets 21 and 23 are housed in two tiers, upper and lower. The upper basket 21 is used to hold cups, small plates, etc., while the lower basket 23 is used to hold large plates, small plates, bowls, etc. Furthermore, the back surface of the door body 113 also functions as a support part that supports the lower basket 23 pulled out from the washing chamber body 111 from below, and has a guide part 113a for the wheels 236 of the lower basket 23 on its back surface. As shown in Figure 2, the dishwasher X comprises a washing chamber 11 for accommodating items to be washed, an upper chamber 13 located above the washing chamber 11, and a lower chamber 15 located below the washing chamber 11. The dishwasher X is equipped with a washing unit 51 in the washing chamber 11 for washing the items to be washed. The dishwasher X is equipped with a functional unit for washing the items to be washed in the lower chamber 15. The functional unit will be described later. Furthermore, the front opening 105g of the lower chamber 15 is covered by the front cover 106 shown in Figure 1. The front cover 106 comprises a front upper cover 107 and a front lower cover 108, each of which is detachably attached to the lower cover 105 (see Figure 4). The detail
