Abstract

La présente invention comprend : un panier à vaisselle dans lequel sont placés des objets à laver; un réservoir de lavage dans lequel est logé le panier à vaisselle; une pompe de lavage qui apporte sous pression une eau de lavage; et une buse de lavage (7) qui éjecte l'eau de lavage. La buse de lavage (7) comprend : un arbre de rotation (16) dans lequel s'écoule l'eau de lavage; une pluralité de passages d'écoulement de tour (21), comportant chacun un orifice d'éjection de tour (23); et un mécanisme de séparation d'eau (20) qui effectue la distribution de l'eau de lavage à la pluralité de passages d'écoulement de tour (21). Le mécanisme de séparation d'eau (20) est disposé au-dessus de l'arbre de rotation (16). Grâce à cette configuration, il n'est pas nécessaire de disposer le panier à vaisselle à un emplacement élevé, celui-ci étant disposé dans le réservoir de lavage.
