A drainage water path 4 is integrally provided at the bottom of the water collection cup body 1. A drainage pump 5 is provided on the drainage water path 4. A spray arm water path 6 is integrally provided at the top of the water collection cup body 1. The washing water path 2 is communicated with the spray arm water path 6. The washing water path 2 and the drainage water path 4 are respectively communicated with the inner cavity 34 of the water collection cup body 1.

[0027] The washing water path 2 includes a washing channel 7, a water suction port 8 and a spray arm channel 9 that are sequentially communicated. The washing channel 7 is communicated with the inner cavity 34 of the water collection cup body 1. The spray arm channel 9 is communicated with the spray arm water path 6. The washing pump 3 is installed on the water suction port 8. The water inlet of the washing pump 3 is communicated with the washing channel 7. The water outlet of the washing pump 3 is communicated with the spray arm channel 9. The water suction port 8 is located at one end of the washing channel 7. The spray arm channel 9 is located above the water suction port 8. The spray arm water path 6 is located above the spray arm channel 9, which can make full use of the vertical space of the water collection cup.

[0028] The washing channel 7 is located on the side of the inner cavity 34, and the washing channel 7 is tangent to the side wall of the inner cavity 34, which can make full use of the horizontal space of the water collection cup, and a rotating water flow can be formed when the washing pump 3 pumps water, reducing noise.

[0029] The drainage water path 4 includes a drainage channel 10, a drainage port 11 and a drainage pipeline 12 that are sequentially communicated. The drainage channel 10 is communicated with the inner cavity 34 of the water collection cup body 1. The drainage pump 5 is installed on the drainage port 11. The water inlet of the drainage pump 5 is communicated with the drainage channel 10. The water outlet of the drainage pump 5 is communicated with the drainage pipeline 12. The drainage port 11 is located at one end of the drainage channel 10. The drainage pipeline 12 is located on one side of the drainage port 11, which can make full use of the horizontal space of the water collection cup.

[0030] The drainage channel 10 is arranged at the center of the bottom of the inner cavity 34 of the water collection cup body 1. The drainage channel 10 is located below the washing channel 7, that is, the washing channel 7 is located above the bottom of the inner cavity 34, ensuring that there is always water at the bottom of the inner cavity 34 when the washing pump 3 pumps water, preventing the washing pump 3 from idling and being damaged when the inner tank 1 is waterless.

[0031] An opening 27 is provided at the bottom of the drainage pipeline 12, and a cover plate 28 is welded on the opening 27. The opening 27 facilitates demolding during the forming of the water collection cup.

[0032] The spray arm waterway 6 includes a main channel 13, an upper spray arm channel 14 and a lower spray arm channel 15. The spray arm channel 9 communicates with the main channel 13. The lower spray arm channels 15 are respectively located at both ends of the main channel 13. The main channel 13 communicates with each lower spray arm channel 15 respectively. The upper spray arm channel 14 is located on one side of the main channel 13. The main channel 13 communicates with the upper spray arm channel 14, and the main channel 13 and the upper spray arm channel 14 are perpendicular to each other.

[0033] A guiding stop block 16 is arranged on the main channel 13. The guiding stop block 16 is located between the upper spray arm channel 14 and the lower spray arm channel 15. The upper spray arm channel 14 and the lower spray arm channel 15 are separated by the guiding stop block 16. The guiding stop block 16 plays a role in splitting the flow, enabling the water to be split more evenly into the upper spray arm channel 14 and the lower spray arm channel 15.

[0034] A heating tube 17 is arranged on the inner cavity 34 of the water collection cup body 1. A heat insulation cover 18 is arranged between the heating tube 17 and the water collection cup body 1. The heat insulation cover 18 separates the water collection cup body 1 and the heating tube 17. The heat generated when the heating tube 17 generates heat will be blocked by the heat insulation cover 18, so that the heat will basically not radiate to the water collection cup, thereby preventing the water collection cup from being damaged by high temperature.

[0035] A temperature probe 29 for detecting the water temperature is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity 34. The dishwasher controls the heating power of the heating tube 17 according to the water temperature detected by the temperature probe 29. A turbidimeter 30 for detecting the water turbidity is arranged on the side of the inner cavity 34.

[0036] This dishwasher includes an inner tank 19 and a base 20. The base 20 is arranged below the inner tank 19. A washing cavity 35 is formed between the inner tank 19 and the base 20. An integral water collection cup of this dishwasher is arranged at the bottom of the inner tank 19. An upper spray arm 21 and a lower spray arm 22 are arranged in the washing cavity 35. An upper spray arm pipeline 23 is arranged at the rear side of the inner tank 19. The upper spray arm channel 14, the upper spray arm pipeline 23 and the upper spray arm 21 are communicated in sequence. The lower spray arm channel 15 communicates with the lower spray arm 22. A drainer 24 is arranged in the base 20. The drainage pipeline 12 communicates with the drainer 24. The washing cavity 35 communicates with the inner cavity 34 of the water collection cup body 1.

[0037] There is an intermediate pipeline 31 provided at the rear side of the base 20. The upper spray arm channel 14, the intermediate pipeline 31, and the upper spray arm pipeline 23 are connected in sequence. Two upper spray arms 21 are provided and are arranged one above the other respectively. The upper spray arm pipeline 23 includes two spray arm pipelines integrally provided, and the spray arm pipelines are respectively connected to the corresponding upper spray arms 21. Two lower spray arms 22 are provided, and the lower spray arm channels 15 are respectively connected to the corresponding lower spray arms 22. A drain pipe 32 is provided at the bottom of the drainer 24.

[0038] When the washing pump 3 works, the water in the inner tank 19 passes through the inner cavity 34 of the water collection cup body 1 and the washing water path 2 to reach the spray arm water path 6, and then is divided. A part of the water passes through the upper spray arm channel 14, the intermediate pipeline 31, and the upper spray arm pipeline 23 to reach the upper spray arm 21, and another part of the water passes through the lower spray arm channel 15 to reach the lower spray arm 22. Then the upper spray arm 21 and the lower spray arm 22 respectively spray the water into the inner tank 18 to realize the cleaning of tableware. Then the water will again pass through the inner cavity 34 of the water collection cup body 1 and the washing water path 2 to reach the spray arm water path 6, and so on in a cycle. When the water in the inner tank 19 flows into the inner cavity 34 of the water collection cup body 1, the heating tube 17 heats the water.

[0039] When the drain pump 5 works, the water in the inner tank 19 passes through the inner cavity 34 of the water collection cup body 1, the drain water path 4, and the drainer 24 to reach the drain pipe 32, and then is discharged from the dishwasher through the drain pipe 32.

[0040] A first fitting rib 25 is provided at the top of the water collection cup body 1, and a second fitting rib 26 is provided at the inner top of the base 20. The first fitting rib 25 and the second fitting rib 26 are matched and connected to fix the water collection cup body 1 on the base 20. The first fitting rib 25 and the second fitting rib 26 are connected by ultrasonic welding or by sealant. The water collection cup body 1 is arranged inside the base 20.

[0041] A filter screen assembly 33 is provided on the inner cavity 34 of the water collection cup body 1, and the inner tank 19, the filter screen assembly 33, and the inner cavity 34 are connected in sequence.
