Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to an upper basket assembly and a dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] The current household dishwashers on the market, especially the drop-down door dishwashers, generally have a two-layer basket structure, or a three-layer structure with a two-layer basket structure and a knife, fork and chopstick tray on top. The corresponding washing spray arms also have two or three layers of spray arms, which enables the dishwasher to load more sets of tableware. However, for most users, there are not many dishes to be washed on a daily basis. Even if the "quick wash" is selected to shorten the washing time, users still feel that the washing time is long and the washing efficiency is not high. Because the layout of the washing spray arms is constant, the washing time can only be slightly reduced according to the reduction of dishes, but the washing time cannot be greatly reduced.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an upper bowl basket assembly to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
