[0059] The axis of the inner basket 32 ​​passes through the position near the center of the groove 317, the drainage hole 312 is provided on the bottom wall of the groove 317 and penetrates the wall thickness of the groove 317, and the drainage hole 312 is provided in the central part of the bottom wall of the groove 317, and extends upward from the circumference of the drainage hole 312 to form an annular tube 319, and an annular ring 323 is provided on the bottom wall of the inner basket 32 ​​to be inserted and matched with the upper end of the annular tube 319, the sheet body 322 is arranged at intervals along the circumference of the annular ring 323, and the annular tube 319 is provided with a plurality of through holes 310 along the circumference thereof, and the through holes 310 are located below the annular ring 323. When drainage is required, the water entering the groove 317 from the water outlet hole 316 flows to the drainage hole 312 through the through holes 310, and then is discharged.

[0060] The insertion and matching of the annular tube 319 and the annular ring 323 play a certain supporting and positioning role for the inner basket 32, so that the inner basket 32 ​​has good rotation stability. In this embodiment, the annular tube 319 can be detachably inserted into the annular ring 323. In this way, the inner basket 32 ​​can be removed, and after the items are taken in and out, the inner basket 32 ​​can be installed on the outer basket 31. The top of the inner basket 32 ​​is open, and a handle is provided on the peripheral wall of the inner basket 32 ​​to facilitate the inner basket 32.

[0061] The cleaning basket of this embodiment is used for cleaning fruits and vegetables.
