Description

Dishwasher {DISH WASHING MACHINE}

The present invention relates to a housing shape of a dishwasher.

In general, a dishwasher includes a main body forming an outer appearance, a tub provided inside the main body, a tub having a washing tub, a dish basket provided inside the washing tub, a spray nozzle for spraying washing water to the dish basket, To the injection nozzle.

The washing water sprayed from the spray nozzle is sprayed by the tableware housed in the dish basket to wash the dishware. Part of the washing water sprayed from the spray nozzle is sprayed directly onto the housing forming the washing tub, thereby hitting the wall surface of the housing.

Vibration is generated in the housing by the washing water striking the wall surface of the housing, thereby generating vibration noise.

In order to reduce vibration noise of the housing, a vibration damping material for reducing vibration is attached to the outside of the housing. To increase the rigidity of the housing, a plurality of beads are provided in the housing.

However, vibration generated by a low frequency of 1000 Hz or less is mainly reduced by a vibration damper rather than a plurality of beads provided in the housing. Therefore, in order to reduce vibration, the vibration damper must be made thick and the efficiency of vibration reduction is reduced do.

Therefore, it is necessary to deform the shape of the housing so that the vibration of the housing can be efficiently reduced while minimizing the thickness of the vibration damping material adhered to the outside of the housing.
