[0071] The utility model provides a dishwasher and a bowl basket thereof, which can take into account all areas of the inner surfaces of all tableware installed in the bowl basket when in use, completely eliminate cleaning blind areas (especially areas that are easily blocked such as bowl bottoms), and can achieve better cleaning effects for all tableware in a shorter time.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4In an embodiment of the present application specification, a bowl basket of a dishwasher is provided, and the bowl basket of the dishwasher may include: a frame body 100; a motion mechanism disposed on the frame body 100 and capable of driving tableware 600 to rotate along a predetermined direction and / or in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction; when the tableware 600 rotates, an angle between a plane where an open end of the tableware 600 is located and a horizontal plane changes; and the motion mechanism includes a hydraulic drive source.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the dishwasher is mainly used to clean tableware 600, kitchen utensils and other objects to be cleaned. Among them, the tableware 600 can mainly include rotating bodies such as bowls, plates, and dishes.

[0074] The bowl basket of the dishwasher may mainly include: a frame body 100, a movement mechanism, a hydraulic driving source, and the like.

[0075] The frame body 100 of the bowl basket is used to place tableware 600 and kitchen utensils waiting to be cleaned. Specifically, the frame body 100 can be assembled from a plurality of rods to form a hollow structure that is convenient for draining. A stopper can be provided in the frame body 100 to divide the frame body 100 into a plurality of relatively independent areas, thereby separating the objects to be cleaned by a predetermined distance to ensure that each object to be cleaned has a certain amount of space for movement, and the predetermined distance can at least ensure that the tableware 600 can rotate. Of course, the specific value of the predetermined distance can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the tableware 600, etc., and the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0076] The motion mechanism is used to drive the tableware 600 to rotate along a predetermined direction and / or in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction. Specifically, the motion mechanism may include any one or a combination of the following: a nozzle that can be connected to a pressure source, the nozzle can provide a spray water column with a predetermined direction; a motion mechanism with a spray channel disposed inside, the motion mechanism can be driven to rotate when fluid is sprayed from the spray channel; a hydraulic drive mechanism 210 that can be driven by fluid to output a rotational force, the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 including a water wheel.

[0077] When the motion mechanism includes the hydraulic drive mechanism 210, the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 can serve as a hydraulic drive source for the motion mechanism. The motion mechanism can also include: a rotating bracket 400 rotatably connected to the frame body 100. For example, when the motion mechanism includes the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 and the rotating bracket 400, the rotational force output by the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 can drive the rotating bracket 400 to rotate, thereby enabling the rotating rotating bracket 400 to drive the tableware 600 in contact therewith to rotate in a predetermined direction and / or in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction.

[0078] When the motion mechanism includes a nozzle that can be connected to a boost source, the spray water column sprayed by the nozzle can alternately contact the inner surface and the outer surface of the tableware 600 along a predetermined direction, and the spray water column flowing along the predetermined direction can drive the tableware 600 to rotate a certain angle in the predetermined direction and / or in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction after impacting the tableware 600. Among them, the boost source can be in the form of a water pump, and of course the boost source can also be in other forms, and the specific application is not limited here.

[0079] When the motion mechanism includes a motion mechanism with a spray channel disposed therein, when the pressurized spray liquid flows through the spray channel, it can drive the motion mechanism to rotate in a direction opposite to the liquid discharge direction when spraying out of the spray channel.

[0080] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the spray channel may include a main channel 70 and a first branch channel 71 and a second branch channel 72 spaced apart on the main channel 70. The liquid outlet directions of the first branch channel 71 and the second branch channel 72 may be opposite, so that when the first branch channel 71 and the second branch channel 72 alternately discharge liquid, the motion mechanism can be driven to rotate alternately in a predetermined direction and a direction opposite to the predetermined direction.

[0081] Among them, the specific form of the motion mechanism driving the tableware 600 to rotate can be comprehensively determined based on the form of the hydraulic driving source, the form of the motion mechanism, the coordination relationship between the motion mechanism and the hydraulic driving source, and the cleaning angle requirements of the tableware 600.

[0082] Of course, the motion mechanism may also be in other forms and is not limited to the above description. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the motion mechanism can drive the tableware 600 to rotate in a predetermined direction and / or in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction. Specifically, when the motion mechanism drives the tableware 600 to rotate in a predetermined direction, or when the motion mechanism drives the tableware 600 to rotate alternately in a predetermined direction and in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the angle between the plane where the open end of the tableware 600 is located and the horizontal plane changes.

[0084] The specific form in which the motion mechanism drives the tableware 600 to rotate can be determined comprehensively based on the form of the motion mechanism and the cleaning angle requirements of the tableware 600.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the above-mentioned motion mechanism that can drive the tableware 600 to rotate along a predetermined direction and / or in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction, during the cleaning process of the tableware 600, the tableware 600 can achieve full coverage cleaning of the inner surfaces of all the tableware 600 installed in the bowl basket by rotating along the predetermined direction, completely eliminating the cleaning blind spots (especially areas that are easily blocked such as the bottom of the bowl), enabling all the tableware 600 to achieve better cleaning effects in a shorter time, thereby improving the user experience and achieving ideal energy-saving and environmental protection effects.

[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, the hydraulic driving source is mainly described by taking the hydraulic driving mechanism 210 as an example. The motion mechanism is mainly described by taking the rotating bracket 400 as an example. The rotation of the tableware 600 is mainly described by taking the tableware 600 reciprocatingly swinging in a predetermined direction around the contact point between the bowl mouth and the frame body 100 or the supporting mechanism in the frame body 100 or the line connecting the contact points as an example.

[0087] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the movement mechanism may include: a rotating bracket 400 rotatably connected to the frame body 100 .

[0088] In this embodiment, for the tableware 600, the bottom of its own open end is supported on the frame body 100. Specifically, the frame body 100 may be provided with a support shaft 300 for supporting the bottom of the tableware 600. The support shaft 300 is used to support the first position close to the bottom of the open end of the tableware 600. Specifically, in order to improve the reliability of the support of the bottom of the tableware 600, the number of the support shafts 300 can be two, and the two support shafts 300 can be arranged side by side at a certain distance. Of course, when the tableware 600 is provided with a supporting mechanism that rotates along its own central axis, the support shaft 300 can be driven to drive the tableware 600 to rotate.

[0089] The bottom of the open end of the tableware 600 can abut against the support shaft 300. Specifically, the specific position where the open end of the tableware 600 abuts against the support shaft 300 can be determined comprehensively according to the number of the support shafts 300, the spacing distance between multiple support shafts 300, etc., and this application does not make a specific limitation here.

[0090] The rotating bracket 400 can be connected to the frame body 100 by a rotational connection, and the rotating bracket 400 is used to support the second position of the edge of the open end of the tableware 600, and the second position is higher than the first position. For example, the rotating bracket 400 can be supported in the middle and upper part of the edge of the open end of the tableware 600, and a certain distance is formed from the position where the rotating bracket 400 is rotationally connected to the frame body 100, so as to form a longer force arm and reliably drive the tableware 600 to rotate. Specifically, the specific contact position between the rotating bracket 400 and the open end of the tableware 600 can be different according to the specific form of the rotating bracket 400 and the size of the tableware 600, and the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0091] When the motion mechanism is a rotating bracket 400, the rotation is mainly based on the example of the tableware 600 rotating unidirectionally or swinging back and forth in a predetermined direction around the point where the bowl mouth contacts the support shaft 300 or the line connecting the contact points. When the support shaft 300 includes two, the tableware 600 has two contact points with the support shaft 300. Specifically, the tableware 600 can rotate unidirectionally or swing back and forth in a predetermined direction with the line connecting the contact points with the support shaft 300 as the rotation axis, thereby changing the angle between the plane where the open end of the tableware 600 is located and the horizontal plane. When the rotating bracket 400 rotates under the drive of the hydraulic drive mechanism 210, it can drive the tableware 600 in contact with it to rotate together, that is, the tableware 600 can move with the movement of the rotating bracket 400. When the rotating bracket 400 rotates only in one direction during a cleaning process, the tableware 600 also rotates only in one direction during the cleaning process; when the rotating bracket 400 rotates alternately in both directions to form a swing during a cleaning process, the tableware 600 can also swing during the cleaning process.

[0092] In one embodiment, when the dishwasher is in a cleaning state, the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 can drive the rotating bracket 400 to rotate alternately within a predetermined angle range along the predetermined direction and along a direction opposite to the predetermined direction, and drive the tableware 600 in contact with the rotating bracket 400 to swing within the predetermined angle range.

[0093] The predetermined angle range may be an angle range that is conducive to directly spraying and washing the inner surface of the tableware 600. Specifically, the angle range is mainly related to the matching relationship between the rotating bracket 400 and the tableware 600, the matching relationship between the support shaft 300 and the tableware 600, the spraying angle of the spray liquid, and other factors.

[0094] In a specific embodiment, the rotating bracket 400 drives the tableware 600 to swing at an angle within a range of 0°-90°.

[0095] In this embodiment, when the rotating bracket 400 drives the tableware 600 to swing, the angle between the plane where the edge of the tableware 600 is located and the support shaft 300 is 0°-90°. Taking the tableware 600 as an example, when the angle between the plane where the open end of the bowl is located and the support shaft 300 is 90°, the bowl is standing on the support shaft 300; when the angle between the plane where the open end of the bowl is located and the support shaft 300 is 0°, the opening of the bowl lies downward on the support shaft 300. When the bowl swings within the above range, the spray liquid located under the bowl basket can reliably contact the bowl under the action of the gravity of the bowl during the rotation and swinging of the bowl, and the spray liquid can fully cover the inner surface of the bowl.

[0096] Of course, it should be noted that the above-mentioned angle range is mainly illustrated by taking the example of the spraying liquid as a whole spraying from bottom to top; when the spraying direction also includes the situation from top to bottom, and the support position also includes the outer wall of the bowl, the swing angle of the tableware 600 can be adaptively expanded.

[0097] In order to further achieve the above-mentioned swinging effect, in one embodiment, the bowl basket of the dishwasher may also be provided with a transmission mechanism 500 .

[0098] The transmission mechanism 500 is in transmission connection with the hydraulic driving mechanism 210 , and the transmission mechanism 500 can convert the circumferential rotation of the hydraulic driving mechanism 210 into alternating rotation of the rotating bracket 400 along the predetermined direction and along the direction opposite to the predetermined direction.

[0099] Specifically, the transmission mechanism 500 may include: a deceleration component, which is used to decelerate and torque the power output by the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 and then output it; a swing output component, which can be driven by the deceleration component, and the swing output component is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket 400, and can drive the rotating bracket 400 and the tableware 600 supported by the rotating bracket 400 to swing.

[0100] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 500 may include a deceleration component for decelerating and torque-increasing the power output by the hydraulic drive mechanism 210. Of course, in some embodiments, when the speed output by the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 is low enough, the deceleration component may be omitted.

[0101] In a specific embodiment, the reduction assembly may include: a reduction gear pair. The reduction gear pair may include at least one set of meshing pinion gears and gears. For example, the pinion gear may be driven and matched with the output end of the hydraulic drive mechanism 210, so that the pinion gear is driven to rotate by the hydraulic drive mechanism 210, driving the gear meshing with the pinion gear to rotate, thereby reducing the output speed and increasing the torque.

[0102] In a specific embodiment, the swing output assembly is used to form a four-bar linkage.

[0103] In this embodiment, the swing output assembly can be used to form a four-bar linkage, and the four-bar linkage is used to switch the circumferential rotation to reciprocating swing. Specifically, the four-bar linkage may include: a rotating wheel 521 arranged concentrically with the output end of the hydraulic drive mechanism 210, and a connecting portion is arranged on the rotating wheel 521 at a position deviating from the rotation center; a crank 522, one end of the crank 522 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion of the rotating wheel 521, and the other end of the crank 522 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating bracket 400. The rotating wheel 521 and the crank 522 are used to cooperate with part of the rotating bracket 400 to form a four-bar linkage, thereby driving the tableware 600 to oscillate back and forth.

[0104] Of course, the specific form of the swing output component can also be other ways and is not limited to the above description. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0105] In some embodiments, the motion mechanism may include a rotating bracket 400, and the rotating bracket 400 may include: at least one group of support components, and the support components include: a first base rod 411, the first base rod 411 may include a first part 4111 for receiving rotational power and a second part 4112 rotatably connected to the frame body 100; a support member 412, one end of which is fixed on the second part 4112 of the first base rod 411 and can contact the tableware 600.

[0106] In this embodiment, the rotating bracket 400 may include at least one group of support components, and the support component may include a first base rod 411 and a support member 412. The second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 is rotatably connected to the frame body 100, and the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 extends along an axial direction perpendicular to the support shaft 300. The specific manner in which the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 is rotatably connected to the frame body 100 may be a hole-shaft connection, and the specific matching form of the hole-shaft connection is not limited exclusively in this application.

[0107] The first portion 4111 may be an upwardly bent section formed by the second portion 4112 at one end close to the crank 522. The end of the first portion 4111 away from the second portion 4112 may be used to receive the rotational power transmitted by the crank 522, thereby driving the first base rod 411 to swing. Specifically, the first portion 4111 may be rotationally connected to the crank 522. In addition, the first portion 4111 may also be indirectly connected to the crank 522 through an intermediate transition piece, such as a connecting piece.

[0108] In a specific embodiment, the support member 412 may include a plurality of support members 412 , and the plurality of support members 412 are spaced apart and distributed along the extension direction of the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 .

[0109] For example, the support member 412 may include two support members 412, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the second part 4112 of the first base rod 411, and the upper parts of the two support members 412 respectively contact the upper edges of the tableware 600, thereby providing support force for the tableware 600, and when the rotating bracket 400 swings, it can drive the tableware 600 to swing together.

[0110] Alternatively, in another specific embodiment, the support member 412 cooperates with the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 to form a circumferentially closed frame.

[0111] For example, the support member 412 may be constructed in a semi-frame structure with one end open, and the open end thereof cooperates with the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 to form a circumferentially closed frame structure. Specifically, the support member 412 may include a first rod and a second rod connected to the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411, and a third rod located between the first rod and the second rod. The third rod may contact the upper edge of the tableware 600, thereby providing a supporting force for the tableware 600, and when the rotating bracket 400 swings, the tableware 600 can be driven to swing together.

[0112] Of course, the specific structural form of the support member 412 can also be other forms and is not limited to the above description. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0113] In one embodiment, the rotating bracket 400 includes multiple groups of support components, which are arranged axially at intervals along the support shaft 300. The rotating bracket 400 also includes: a second base rod 413, which extends in the same direction as the support shaft 300 as a whole; multiple connecting members are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the second base rod 413; the multiple connecting members include a first connecting member 414 arranged near the power output end of the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 and at least one second connecting member 415 arranged at intervals from the first connecting member 414; the first connecting member 414 is rotatably connected to the first part 4111 of the corresponding first base rod 411, and one end of the second base rod 413 is connected to the first connecting member 414; the second connecting member 415 is connected to the second base rod 413 and is rotatably connected to the first part 4111 of the corresponding first base rod 411.

[0114] In this embodiment, considering that the bowl basket generally needs to wash multiple tableware 600 at the same time, in order to enable multiple tableware 600 to swing using the same driving mechanism and the same set of rotating brackets 400, the rotating bracket 400 may include multiple groups of support components, a second base rod 413 and multiple connecting parts.

[0115] The specific structure and connection relationship of the support assembly can refer to the above description, and the present application will not repeat them here. Multiple groups of support assemblies are arranged axially along the support shaft 300, and the distance of the arrangement can be adapted to the distance required for the tableware 600 to be spaced apart, and the specific value is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0116] The second base rod 413 and the connecting piece cooperate to drive the multiple supporting components to move synchronously. The second base rod 413 can be a longitudinally extending rod, which can be installed in the bowl basket through the connecting piece.

[0117] The connector may include multiple ones, and according to different arrangement positions, it may include a first connector 414 disposed near the power output end (e.g., crank 522) of the hydraulic drive mechanism 210, and at least one second connector 415 disposed at intervals from the first connector 414. Each connector is matched with a group of support components.

[0118] The first connecting member 414 can be rotatably connected to the first part 4111 of the first base rod 411 in the supporting assembly matched with the first connecting member 414. In addition, the first connecting member 414 can also be used to connect one end of the second base rod 413, that is, to position and install one end of the second base rod 413. The second connecting member 415 can be connected to the second base rod 413, and the second connecting member 415 is rotatably connected to the first part 4111 of the first base rod 411 in the supporting assembly matched with the first connecting member 414. The specific mode of the rotatable connection can be a hole-shaft connection, and the specific matching form of the hole-shaft connection is not limited to the present application.

[0119] The first connecting member 414 may be a plastic integrated member, which is provided with a mounting hole for rotatably connecting the first part 4111 of the first base rod 411. In addition, the first connecting member 414 may also be provided with a limiting portion for installing the second base rod 413, and the limiting portion may specifically be a clamping member. Of course, the specific form of the limiting portion may also be other forms, and the present application does not make a sole limitation here.

[0120] One end of the second base rod 413 can pass through the limiting portion and cooperate with a small gap in the rotational cooperation between the first base rod 411 and the first connecting member 414, so as not to affect the swing of the first base rod 411; in addition, when the first base rod 411 accidentally detaches from the first connecting member 414 during the swinging process, the first connecting member 414 can also be limited.

[0121] The specific form of the second connecting member 415 can be similar to that of the first connecting member 414 , can be installed on the second base rod 413 , and is provided with a mounting hole for rotatably connecting the first part 4111 of the first base rod 411 .

[0122] Of course, the specific forms of the first connecting member 414 and the second connecting member 415 can also be other forms and are not limited to the above description. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0123] The applicant found that: for deep bowls that are cleaned by only driving the tableware to rotate in a certain direction, in a short period of time, although the inner wall of the bowl has been cleaned very clean, there are still food residues in some parts of the bottom of the bowl. In addition to being affected by the structure of the tableware itself, the cleaned tableware is also affected by many factors such as the obstruction of adjacent tableware. Except for the first bowl with an opening facing outward, other bowls may be obstructed by the previous bowl. Even if the bowl itself rotates along its circumferential direction, the spray water column still cannot directly reach all areas of the inner surface of the bowl. Moreover, it is difficult to achieve an ideal cleaning effect in these blind spots even if the cleaning time is greatly extended.

[0124] The inventor of the present application discovered the above-mentioned problem and proposed to rotate the same tableware 600 in multiple directions in space, for example, to rotate the tableware 600 in one direction and to swing it in another direction, and to actively change the contact angle between the tableware 600 and the spray water column in multiple directions, so that the spray water column can directly cover the inner wall of the tableware 600, completely eliminating the blind spot of cleaning, effectively shortening the cleaning time, and achieving the ideal cleaning effect, thereby enabling the tableware 600 to achieve a better cleaning effect in a shorter time, further improving the user experience, and achieving the ideal energy-saving and environmental protection effect.

[0125] like Figure 6 As shown, in order to realize the multi-directional rotation of the same tableware 600 in space. The following scheme is further provided in the embodiment of the present application: the bowl basket may also include a support shaft 300 connected to the frame body 100, and the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 can drive the rotating bracket 400 to rotate alternately along the predetermined direction and along the direction opposite to the predetermined direction within a predetermined angle range, and drive the tableware 600 in contact with the rotating bracket 400 to swing within the predetermined angle range; at the same time, the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 can drive the support shaft to rotate.

[0126] In this embodiment, when the dishwasher is in a cleaning state, the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 can drive the support shaft 300 to rotate and drive the rotating bracket 400 to swing, and the tableware 600 in contact with the support shaft 300 and the bracket can swing while rotating.

[0127] When the dishwasher is in a cleaning state, the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 provides a driving force for the support shaft 300, so that the support shaft 300 rotates around its own axis, and the support shaft 300 can drive the tableware 600 in contact with it to rotate along the first direction when rotating; at the same time, the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 provides a driving force for the rotating bracket 400, so that the rotating bracket 400 reciprocates (i.e. swings) in a predetermined direction and in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction, and the rotating bracket 400 drives the tableware 600 in contact with it to reciprocate (i.e. swing) in a predetermined direction and in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction. When the dishwasher is in a cleaning state, the tableware 600 can rotate in the first direction, and when swinging in the predetermined direction and in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the inner surface of all the tableware 600 installed in the bowl basket can be fully covered and cleaned, and the blind spot of cleaning is completely eliminated, so that all the tableware 600 can achieve a better cleaning effect in a shorter time.

[0128] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, further, the bowl basket also includes a transmission mechanism 500, which is transmission-connected to the hydraulic drive mechanism 210, and the transmission mechanism 500 can convert the circumferential rotation of the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 into alternating rotation of the rotating bracket 400 along the predetermined direction and along the direction opposite to the predetermined direction; the transmission mechanism 500 includes: a reduction assembly 510, and the reduction assembly 510 includes: a reduction gear pair, a worm gear pair; a swing output assembly, and the swing output assembly is used to form a four-bar linkage.

[0129] The transmission mechanism 500 is in transmission connection with the hydraulic drive mechanism 210. For example, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the hydraulic drive mechanism 210, the support shaft 300, the transmission mechanism 500, and the rotating bracket 400 are sequentially in transmission connection.

[0130] See also Fig. 9 , wherein the transmission mechanism 500 may include: a deceleration component 510, the deceleration component 510 is used to decelerate and torque the power output by the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 and then output it; a swing output component 520, the swing output component 520 can be driven by the deceleration component 510, and the swing output component 520 is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket 400, and can drive the rotating bracket 400 and the tableware 600 supported by the rotating bracket 400 to swing.

[0131] Specifically, the reduction assembly 510 may include: a reduction gear pair and a worm gear pair.

[0132] The reduction gear pair may include at least one set of meshing pinion gears 511 and large gears 512. The worm gear pair may include meshing worm gears 513 and worm gears 514.

[0133] For example, the pinion 511 can be driven and matched with the second end of the support shaft 300, so that it is driven to rotate by the support shaft 300, driving the large gear 512 meshing with it to rotate, thereby reducing the output speed and increasing the torque. One end of the worm 513 can be fixed at the center of the large gear 512, so that it is driven to rotate by the large gear 512; the rotating worm 513 can drive the worm wheel 514 meshing with it to rotate, which can further reduce the output speed and increase the torque; in addition, the structure of the worm wheel 514 and the worm 513 can only realize relative one-way rotation, and it itself has a self-locking function to prevent reverse rotation. When the worm gear pair is used in the bowl basket of a dishwasher, the self-locking function can be used to reliably limit the rotating bracket 400 to prevent the rotating bracket 400 from rotating beyond the predetermined angle range in some special cases. For example, it can prevent the rotating bracket 400 from rotating beyond a predetermined angle range under the action of external force (such as when heavy tableware 600 is pressed down instantaneously), thereby causing the tableware 600 to move to an angle that is not conducive to cleaning.

[0134] In addition, in some embodiments, for example, when the mechanism driving the rotating bracket 400 to rotate is a hydraulic drive mechanism 210, and a worm gear pair with a self-locking function is provided in the transmission mechanism 500, the position where the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 stops rotating can correspond one-to-one to the position where the rotating bracket 400 stops rotating, that is, when the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 stops at a certain position, the rotating bracket 400 can be controlled to stop at the corresponding position, so that the rotating bracket 400 can effectively and reliably support the tableware 600.

[0135] A dishwasher is also provided in an embodiment of the present application, and the dishwasher includes the bowl basket of the above-mentioned dishwasher. The dishwasher can achieve the technical effect achieved by the bowl basket embodiment of the dishwasher by providing the bowl basket of the dishwasher. For details, please refer to the specific description of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the present application will not repeat them here.

[0136] In this embodiment, the dishwasher may further include a spray device for spraying the tableware 600 .

[0137] The spray device can be used to spray and clean the objects to be cleaned in the bowl basket, such as tableware 600 and / or kitchen utensils. When the spray device is working, it is connected to the liquid supply system, so as to provide spray liquid for cleaning the objects to be cleaned in the bowl basket. Among them, the liquid supply system can be a system that can provide spray liquid to the spray device. Specifically, the liquid supply system can be a tap water source to provide normal temperature water to the spray device; the liquid supply system can also be provided with a heating device, and the normal temperature water is heated by the heating device to provide hot water to the spray device. In addition, the liquid supply system of the cleaning machine can also be superimposed with other functional modules, such as a soft water module, so as to provide water softened by the soft water module to the spray device.

[0138] When the spray device is working, it can be positioned at one or several designated positions to spray the object to be cleaned in a directional manner; or, the spray device can be in a rotating state when working to spray the object to be cleaned in a rotating manner, or it can be a superposition of the above multiple spray states, etc. When the spray device is in a rotating state when spraying the object to be cleaned, its rotational power can be hydraulically driven, electrically driven, magnetically driven, or can be a superposition of two or more driving forces, and can also be combined with other forms of driving forms.

[0139] Specifically, the spray device may include at least one spray arm provided with a nozzle. Of course, the spray device may also include other structures or be in other forms, and the present application does not make any specific limitation thereto.

[0140] The hydraulic driving source is a hydraulic driving mechanism 210, and the dishwasher may further include a water pump, and the spray device and the hydraulic driving mechanism 210 are supplied with liquid by the water pump. The water pump is connected to the spray device and is used to provide a flow power for the cleaning liquid to rinse the objects to be cleaned. In addition, when the hydraulic driving source is a hydraulic driving mechanism 210, the water pump is connected to the hydraulic driving mechanism 210, thereby providing the hydraulic driving mechanism 210 with a power to drive the water wheel in the hydraulic driving mechanism 210 to rotate.
