[0002] A spray cleaning machine is a cleaning device that uses water pressure to wash the surface of an object. It peels off and washes away dirt on the surface of the object to achieve the purpose of cleaning the surface of the object, helping people reduce the burden of cleaning.

[0003] The door sealing structure of a traditional cleaning machine generally has an elastic sealing strip at the sealing part of the door opening and closing of the door, and relies on the compression of the elastic sealing strip of the door to achieve the door sealing effect. Since the elasticity of the elastic material weakens after long-term use, the sealing effect of the door will deteriorate. In addition, since the dirt inside the cleaning machine after washing can easily hide in the installation groove of the sealing strip, the sealing strip needs to be removed for cleaning, which causes great inconvenience to the user.

[0004] In summary, there is currently a need for a water-leakage-proof structure of a cleaning machine that can seal the door body without adding an elastic sealing strip. Summary of the invention

The spray assembly includes a spray arm connector, and the spray arm connector includes an upper limit block 29. The upper limit block 29 is installed on the placement basket 28. The lower top column 27 is fixed to the bottom of the upper limit block 29. A spray arm group 30 is sleeved on the lower top column 27. An external threaded area 31 is provided on the side wall of the lower top column 27. A fastening nut 32 is installed at the external threaded area 31. The spray arm group 30 is installed on the upper A connecting pipe limiting groove 33 is provided between the limiting block 29 and the fastening nut 32, and a surface of the fastening nut 32 facing the connecting pipe 22.

[0027] like Figure 5 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, a U-shaped limit frame matching the upper limit block 29 is arranged on the bottom surface of the placement basket 28, and the U-shaped limit frame is composed of two mutually symmetrical vertical limit rods and a transverse limit rod 36. The vertical limit rod includes a rod segment 1 37 and a rod segment 2 38. The rod segment 2 38 is located between the rod segment 1 37 and the transverse limit rod 36. The connection between the rod segment 1 37 and the rod segment 2 38 is smoothly transitioned through a rounded corner.

[0029] A sealing ring 242 is installed on the water inlet pipe connector 23 , and the water inlet pipe connector 23 and the connecting pipe 22 are sealed and connected via the sealing ring 242 .

[0030] A clamping head 43 is fixed on the bottom surface of the partition 24, and the clamping head 43 is placed on the side of the water hole 25. A protrusion 44 is arranged at the edge of the elastic check plate 26, and a clamping hole 45 matching the clamping head 43 is arranged on the protrusion 44. The clamping head 43 and the clamping hole 45 are clamped with each other. The protrusion 44 is installed between the partition 24 and the water inlet pipe connector 23, and a water hole rib 46 is arranged at the edge of the lower port of the water hole 25.

[0031] The self-locking principle of the upper cover: when the upper cover 2 is covered on the upper end of the lower shell 1, the lock buckle 11 passes through the lock buckle through hole 10 into the lock cavity 9, and automatically engages with the lock rod 14 to lock the upper cover 2; when the upper cover 2 needs to be removed, since the other end of the lever 15 is arranged on the upper end wall of the handle groove 17, the user can use a finger to push the other end of the lever 15 upward, thereby driving the lock rod 14 on the rotating column 13 to swing downward, so that the buckle body 18 on the other end of the lock rod 14 flips downward and disengages from the buckle body 2 19 on the lock buckle 11, so that the upper cover 2 can be unlocked, and then the upper cover 2 can be easily lifted.

[0032] Sealing principle of the upper cover: by arranging the drainage rib 7 on the inner side of the bottom of the inner door cover 4, it blocks the connecting gap between the inner door cover convex rib 5 and the convex rib slot 6 from the inside, which effectively prevents the internal washing water from rushing out from the connecting gap, and can drain the water that rushes onto the wall of the inner door cover 4 to the inner tank 3, and a very small amount of water that may flip over the drainage rib 7 and flow into the convex rib slot 6 can be drained back into the inner tank 3 through the reflux hole 8.

[0033] Self-locking water-dividing principle: when the spray assembly is inserted into the connecting pipe 22, the lower top column 27 at the bottom of the spray assembly will automatically press the elastic check piece 26 downward to open the water hole 25 automatically. At this time, the water will flow into the water cavity 34 of the spray arm group 30 through the water hole 25 and the axial guide groove 35 in turn, and spray the washing objects through the water spray head on the surface of the spray arm group 30; when the spray assembly needs to be removed, just pull up the placement basket 28 to drive the entire spray assembly to be pulled out from the upper port of the connecting pipe 22. When the spray assembly is removed, the water flowing in from the water inlet pipe connector 23 will automatically press the elastic check piece 26 onto the partition 24 and block the water hole 25 to prevent water from leaking from the water hole 25. Through such a design, users can achieve two water-dividing methods by disassembling or installing the spray assembly.

[0034] Principle of spray arm group replacement: When it is necessary to replace a different type of spray arm group 30, just rotate and remove the fastening nut 32 from the external threaded area 31 of the lower top column 27, and then remove the old spray arm group sleeved on the lower top column 27 for replacement to adapt to different washing scenarios. When the spray assembly needs to be installed on the placement basket 28, first place the upper limit block 29 between the two rod segments 2 38, then align the vertical limit groove 39 of the upper limit block 29 with the rod segment 1 37 and insert it along the rod segment 1 37 until the transverse limit rod 36 is stuck in the transverse limit groove 40, and the installation of the upper limit block 29 on the placement basket 28 is completed.

[0035] The structure of the present application can be applied to the field of dishwashers. By arranging a drainage rib 7 on the inner side of the bottom of the inner door cover 4 so as to block the connection gap between the inner door cover convex rib 5 and the convex rib slot 6 from the inside, a return hole 8 is arranged to drain a very small amount of water that may overflow the drainage rib 7 and flow into the convex rib slot 6 back into the inner tank 3, so that the dishwasher can seal the door body without adding an elastic sealing strip, thereby achieving a water leakage-proof effect.
