1 . A dishwasher comprising:
 a body;   a control unit disposed on the body;   a washing cabin disposed on the body and wherein a washing process is performed;   a detergent dispenser mounted to the body, wherein the detergent dispenser includes:
 a detergent receptacle wherein the detergent is filled; 
 a scaling receptacle wherein the detergent an amount of which is determined by the control unit according to a selected washing type is transferred from the detergent receptacle; and 
 a dosing mechanism disposed between the detergent receptacle and the scaling receptacle, the dosing mechanism having an open position wherein the flow of the detergent from the detergent receptacle towards the scaling receptacle is enabled, and a closed position wherein the flow of the detergent is disabled; wherein the control unit controls the transition of the dosing mechanism between the open and closed positions. 
   
     
     
         2 . A dishwasher as in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 at least one first opening disposed between the detergent receptacle and the scaling receptacle that enables the transmission of the detergent from the detergent receptacle to the scaling receptacle;   at least one second opening disposed between the scaling receptacle and the washing cabin that enables the transmission of the detergent from the scaling receptacle to the washing cabin;   a crankshaft disposed on the detergent receptacle in the direction of the first opening and the second opening;   a motor the operation of which is controlled by the control unit and that moves the crankshaft;   a piston rod one end of which is connected to the crankshaft, the other end extending in the direction of the scaling receptacle;   a piston that is disposed on the scaling receptacle and that moves in the vertical direction as being connected to the piston rod;   a support that is connected to the piston and that moves with the piston; and   more than one gasket disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the support that enables the dosing mechanism to change to the open and closed positions depending on the movement of the piston.   
     
     
         3 . A dishwasher as in  claim 2 , wherein the dosing mechanism comprises at least one first gasket disposed on the upper surface of the support that enables the dosing mechanism to change to the closed position by enabling the at least one first opening to close when the piston moves towards the detergent receptacle; and at least one second gasket that enables the dosing mechanism to change to the open position by enabling the at least one second opening to close when the piston moves towards the scaling receptacle. 
     
     
         4 . A dishwasher as in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a door disposed on the body; and   a stationary detergent distribution unit that enables the use of powder or solid detergent, wherein the powder or solid detergent is filled in such an amount that the entire detergent can be used in a single washing cycle;   wherein the detergent dispenser is disposed on the door or the washing cabin.   
     
     
         5 . A dishwasher as in  claim 1 , wherein the control unit enables the dosing mechanism to change to the open position more than once and enables the detergent to be transmitted from the scaling receptacle to the washing cabin more than once in washing programs where need for detergent is high. 
     
     
         6 . A dishwasher as in  claim 2 , wherein the control unit enables the dosing mechanism to remain in the closed position after the process of taking detergent is completed, and enables the scaling receptacle to be cleaned by means of wash water entering through the at least one second opening. 
     
     
         7 . A dishwasher as in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a housing disposed on body for receiving the detergent dispenser.   
     
     
         8 . A dishwasher as in  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a bevel gear disposed on the housing that enables the detergent dispenser to be fixed to the housing.   
     
     
         9 . A dishwasher as in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a cover disposed on the detergent dispenser that isolates the detergent receptacle, the scaling receptacle and the dosing mechanism from the outer environment and a lock that enables the cover to be fixed on the detergent dispenser.   
     
     
         10 . A dishwasher according to  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a filling opening disposed on the cover that enables a user to fill detergent to the detergent receptacle, and   a filling cover coupled to the filling opening that isolates the filling opening from the outer environment.
