When there are many objects placed on the shelf 3, the position of the hanging arm 323 can be adjusted by rotating the column 322 to fully utilize the space in the dishwasher housing 1.

[0056] Preferably, the hanging arm 323 is three, and is horizontally distributed at an angle of 120° with the axis of the column 322 as the center.

[0057] Preferably, the shelf 3 is also provided with a dish placing area, the first spraying arm 411 is located below one side of the channel housing, and the first spraying arm 411 washes the washing object placed on the dish placing area and the hanging arm 323 by spraying washing water.

[0058] The bottle fixing structure fixes the to-be-cleaned bottle 7 at a position where the protruding part 424 extends into the inside of the bottle. Specifically, the bottle fixing structure includes a grid structure 325 for contacting the bottle mouth of the to-be-cleaned bottle 7 to support the weight of the bottle, a positioning column 326 connected with the grid structure 325 and extending upward to a certain height, and the upper end of the positioning column 326 is formed with a ball for contacting the outer side of the to-be-cleaned bottle 7; the positioning column 326 is at least three, and is arranged around the bottle, and the three positioning columns 326 are configured to contact the bottle in a clamping manner to limit the movement of the bottle.

[0059] Preferably, the positioning column 326 is a plurality of columns, and is matched at different heights to facilitate the fixing of the bottle.

[0060] The grid structure 325 is composed of transverse and longitudinal connecting ribs, and one side of the grid structure 325 that contacts the bottle is arranged to be inclined to make the bottle inclined at a certain angle to facilitate the collection and flow of water droplets in the bottle.

[0061] The bottle to be cleaned 7 is preferably a milk bottle, and the barb structure 327 is used to fix the nipple 8 matched with the milk bottle, and the barb structure 327 is at least three, and the nipple 8 is fixed on the grid structure 325 in a pressing manner.

[0062] Preferably, a plurality of auxiliary spray heads 427 are further arranged on the channel housing, the height of the auxiliary spray heads 427 is lower than the convex part 424, and the auxiliary spray heads 427 are arranged in a spaced manner with the convex part 424, and the auxiliary spray heads 427 are used to spray washing water to the outside of the bottle and the nipple 8.

[0063] The use method of the present application is as follows: in use, the milk bottle or other bottle to be cleaned 7 is inserted between the positioning columns 326 in a manner that the opening faces downward, so that the bottle opening is in contact with the grid structure 325, and the convex part 424 is inserted into the bottle, the nipple 8 is clamped under the barb structure 327, the baby tooth gel is hung on the hanging arm 323, and the bowls and dishes are placed in the bowl and dish placing area of the rack 3, then the door 2 of the dishwasher is closed, the dishwasher is started, the first spraying device 41 sprays washing water to mainly wash the bowls and dishes and the tooth gel, the second spraying device 42 sprays washing water to mainly wash the milk bottle and the nipple 8, and after the cleaning is completed, the above-mentioned objects to be washed are taken out.
