The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation.

[0040] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dishwasher, which includes a main body and a spray arm assembly 100 for cleaning tableware and other objects to be cleaned. The spray arm assembly 100 is housed in the main body. The spray arm assembly 100 includes a connecting pipe 40 and a spray arm 20. The connecting pipe 40 includes a pipe water inlet and a pipe water outlet 41 that communicate with each other. The pipe water inlet of the connecting pipe 40 is connected to a water supply device. The spray arm 20 is detachably connected to the pipe water outlet 41 of the connecting pipe 40. When the dishwasher performs a cleaning operation, the connecting pipe 40 delivers the cleaning water provided by the water supply device to the spray arm 20, and the spray arm 20 can rotate around a rotation axis and spray the cleaning water to clean the objects to be cleaned.

[0041] Specifically, the spray arm 20 includes a spray arm main body 21. The spray arm main body 21 has a hollow long-strip-shaped housing structure and extends longitudinally in one direction, thereby forming a water flow channel extending in one direction. One side of the spray arm main body 21 is provided with a spray arm water inlet 212 and a plurality of spray holes 216 that are respectively communicated with the water flow channel. The spray arm water inlet 212 is located at the central position of the spray arm main body 21 in its length direction. The plurality of spray holes 216 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the spray arm main body 21. The rotation axis of the spray arm main body 21 coincides with the central axis of the spray arm water inlet 212. In the following embodiments, the longitudinal direction of the spray arm main body 21 is the first direction, the width direction of the spray arm main body 21 is the second direction, and the thickness direction of the spray arm main body 21 is the third direction. It can be understood that the shape of the spray arm main body 21 is not limited to this and can be set as needed to meet different requirements.

[0042] As described in the background art, in order to meet the cleaning ability requirements of the dishwasher, the spray holes 216 on the spray arm main body 21 are not evenly arranged. The number and positions of the spray holes 216 on both sides in the first direction are asymmetrically designed, resulting in a height difference at both ends of the spray arm 20 in the first direction due to the water pressure backwash during operation, and further causing wear of the spray arm 20 body during rotation, ultimately leading to problems such as unstable rotation speed and unclean cleaning.

[0043] To solve the above problems, the spray arm 20 of the present application includes an adjustment block 25. The adjustment block 25 is detachably connected to the spray arm main body 21 and can be connected to different positions of the spray arm main body 21 in the first direction, thereby adjusting the position of the center of gravity of the spray arm main body 21 in the first direction, and thus avoiding the generation of a height difference at the opposite ends of the spray arm main body 21 in the first direction during operation.

[0044] As Figures 3 to 5 shown, further, in order to limit the adjustment block 25 on the spray arm main body 21, the spray arm 20 further includes an adjustment member 23. The adjustment member 23 protrudes from the side of the spray arm main body 21 away from the water inlet. The adjustment member 23 includes a first adjustment portion 232 and a second adjustment portion 234. The first adjustment portion 232 and the second adjustment portion 234 are spaced apart in the second direction. An adjustment groove 236 extending in the first direction is formed between the first adjustment portion 232 and the second adjustment portion 234. At least one of the first adjustment portion 232 and the second adjustment portion 234 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves communicating with the adjustment groove 236. The plurality of positioning grooves located in the first adjustment portion 232 and / or the first adjustment portion 232 are arranged in sequence in the first direction. The adjustment block 25 is detachably clamped in the positioning grooves, thereby being limited to different positions in the first direction of the adjustment groove 236.

[0045] In this way, the user can limit the adjusting block 25 to different positioning slots of the adjusting slot 236 to change the position of the adjusting block 25 in the first direction of the spray arm main body 21, so as to adjust the position of the center of gravity of the spray arm main body 21 in the first direction.

[0046] Specifically, in an embodiment, a plurality of first positioning slots 2321 are provided on one side of the first adjusting portion 232 forming the adjusting slot 236. The plurality of first positioning slots 2321 are arranged in sequence along the first direction. A plurality of second positioning slots 2341 are provided on one side of the second adjusting portion 234 forming the adjusting slot 236. The plurality of second positioning slots 2341 are arranged in sequence along the first direction, and the first positioning slots 2321 on the first adjusting portion 232 and the second positioning slots 2341 on the second adjusting portion 234 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence in the second direction.

[0047] The adjusting block 25 is in a "ji" shape, including an adjusting block main body 252, a first clamping arm 254 and a second clamping arm 256. The adjusting block main body 252 is movably limited in the adjusting slot 236 along the first direction. Both the first clamping arm 254 and the second clamping arm 256 are connected to one end of the adjusting block main body 252. The first clamping arm 254 and the second clamping arm 256 are spaced apart in the second direction. One end of the first clamping arm 254 away from the adjusting block main body 252 is provided with a first clamping portion protruding in a direction away from the second clamping arm 256. The shape of the first clamping portion matches the shape of the positioning slot. One end of the second clamping arm 256 away from the connecting portion is provided with a second clamping portion protruding in a direction away from the first clamping arm 254. The shape of the second clamping portion matches the shape of the positioning slot. The first clamping arm 254 and the second clamping arm 256 can approach or move away from each other in the second direction, so that the first clamping portion of the first clamping arm 254 disengages from or engages with the first positioning slot 2321, and the second clamping portion of the second clamping arm 256 disengages from or engages with the second positioning slot 2341, so that the adjusting block 25 is firmly limited to different positions in the first direction of the adjusting slot 236.

[0048] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the adjusting block 25, a certain pressure can be applied to the first clamping arm 254 and the second clamping arm 256 to make the first clamping arm 254 and the second clamping arm 256 approach each other in the second direction. The first clamping portion disengages from the first positioning slot 2321, and the second clamping portion disengages from the second positioning slot 2341. Then, the adjusting block 25 is moved to the target position and the first clamping arm 254 and the second clamping arm 256 are released. The first clamping arm 254 and the second clamping arm 256 return to the initial state due to the loss of external force. The first clamping portion is re-limited in a first positioning slot 2321, and the second clamping portion is also re-limited in the second positioning slot 2341, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the adjusting block 25.

[0049] Further, in order to limit the adjustment block 25 in the third direction to prevent the adjustment block 25 from falling out of the adjustment slot 236, the adjustment slot 236 is in an inverted "T" shape, including a first limiting space 2361 and a second limiting space 2363 that are interconnected. The second limiting space 2363 is located on the side of the first limiting space 2361 facing the spray arm main body 21. The dimension of the second limiting space 2363 in the second direction is greater than the dimension of the first limiting space 2361 in the second direction. The adjustment slot 236 communicates with the first limiting space 2361.

[0050] The adjustment block main body 252 of the adjustment block 25 includes a first limiting portion 2521 and a second limiting portion 2523 that are connected to each other. The dimension of the second limiting portion 2523 in the second direction is greater than the dimension of the first limiting portion 2521 in the second direction. Moreover, the dimension of the first limiting portion 2521 in the second direction matches the dimension of the first limiting space 2361 in the second direction, and the dimension of the second limiting portion 2523 in the second direction matches the dimension of the second limiting space 2363 in the second direction. Both the first clamping arm 254 and the second clamping arm 256 are connected to the first limiting portion 2521.

[0051] In this way, the second limiting portion 2523 is limited within the second limiting space 2363, and the first limiting portion 2521 is limited within the first limiting space 2361. Since the dimension of the second limiting portion 2523 in the second direction is greater than the dimension of the first limiting space 2361 in the second direction, the adjustment block 25 can only slide along the first direction and will not come out of the adjustment slot 236 along the third direction.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the spray arm 20 further includes a water inlet connection portion 214 surrounding the spray arm water inlet 212. The central axis of the water inlet connection portion 214 coincides with the central axis of the spray arm water inlet 212, and the inner diameter of the water inlet connection portion 214 is the same as the aperture of the spray arm water inlet 212. The connection pipe 40 is provided with a water outlet connection portion 43 surrounding the pipe water outlet 41 in the circumferential direction. The central axis of the water outlet connection portion 43 coincides with the central axis of the pipe water outlet 41. The water outlet connection portion 43 can undergo recoverable deformation in the radial direction of the pipe water outlet 41 under the action of an external force to be sleeved on the water inlet connection portion 214.

[0053] In this way, the spray arm 20 and the connection pipe 40 are rotatably connected through the water inlet connection portion 214 and the water outlet connection portion 43, and the connection method is simple and rapid, thereby improving the installation convenience of the spray arm 20.

[0054] Further, at one end of the water inlet connecting portion 214 away from the spray arm water inlet 212, there is a protruding clamping edge 2141, and the clamping edge 2141 surrounds the water inlet connecting portion 214 in the circumferential direction. The water outlet connecting portion 43 includes a plurality of connecting buckles 432 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. Each connecting buckle 432 is connected to one end of the water outlet connecting portion 43 away from the connecting pipe 40 and protrudes towards the pipe water outlet 41. The connecting buckle 432 can abut against the clamping edge 2141 of the water inlet connecting portion 214 in the central axis direction of the spray arm water inlet 212, so as to prevent the spray arm 20 from detaching from the connecting pipe 40 in the third direction.

[0055] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 40 includes a flow guide nozzle 45 surrounding the pipe water outlet 41 in the circumferential direction, and the outer diameter of the flow guide nozzle 45 is smaller than the aperture of the spray arm water inlet 212 and matches the aperture of the spray arm water inlet 212. Thus, when the connecting pipe 40 is mated with the spray arm 20, the flow guide nozzle 45 extends into the spray arm water inlet 212, thereby preventing water pressure from leaking and ensuring the cleaning effect of the dishwasher.

[0056] In the above dishwasher, by setting the adjusting block 25, the problem that the two ends of the spray arm 20 are inconsistent in height in the length direction during the working process can be solved, thereby avoiding the problems of jamming and abnormal rotation speed caused by the inclination of the spray arm 20. Moreover, the spray arm 20 can be quickly installed on the water outlet connecting portion 43 of the connecting pipe 40 through the water inlet connecting portion 214, and the flow guide nozzle 45 of the connecting pipe 40 extends into the spray arm water inlet 212, thereby preventing water pressure from leaking and ensuring the cleaning effect of the dishwasher.

[0057] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as within the scope described in this specification.

[0058] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention patent should be subject to the appended claims.
