Secondly, the sealing effect of the installation structure is not ideal, which easily leads to water leakage and has an adverse effect on the normal operation of the dishwasher. Utility Model Content
[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a spray arm assembly and a dishwasher to address the problems of relatively complex structure, difficult installation and maintenance.
[0004] A spray arm assembly, the spray arm assembly comprising: a liquid supply main arm, the liquid supply main arm is provided with a liquid supply cavity, the liquid supply main arm is provided with a liquid outlet connected to the liquid supply cavity; a limit assembly, the limit assembly is arranged on the liquid supply main arm and located at the liquid outlet; a spray arm, the spray arm is provided with a liquid passage cavity, the spray arm is provided with a first liquid spray hole connected to the liquid passage cavity, the spray arm is arranged on the limit assembly and can rotate relative to the limit assembly, and the limit assembly is respectively connected to the liquid supply cavity and the liquid passage cavity.
[0005] The present application discloses a spray arm assembly, which realizes the control of the liquid supply of the spray arm by providing a liquid supply cavity on the liquid supply main arm and connecting with the liquid outlet. The limit assembly is arranged on the liquid supply main arm, and the limit assembly is arranged at the liquid outlet. The limit assembly is connected with the liquid supply cavity and the liquid passage cavity respectively, so as to realize the precise control of the liquid supply and improve the accuracy and stability of the liquid spray. The spray arm is arranged on the limit assembly and can rotate relative to the limit assembly. This relative rotation design allows the spray arm to move freely within a certain range, which helps to adapt to different cleaning needs and improves the flexibility and applicability of cleaning. The spray arm is provided with a liquid passage cavity, and the spray arm can realize a more delicate and uniform liquid spray by connecting with the first liquid spray hole. The design of the liquid passage cavity helps to optimize the flow of liquid in the spray arm, ensure that better liquid spray performance can be obtained when the liquid is discharged from the first liquid spray hole, and improve the cleaning effect. The spray arm assembly disclosed in the present invention realizes the precise control of liquid supply and liquid spray, optimizes the liquid spray performance, and improves the accuracy and applicability of motion control, thereby improving the performance of the overall cleaning system.
[0006] In one embodiment, one of the limiting assembly and the liquid supply main arm is provided with a limiting convex rib, and the other of the limiting assembly and the liquid supply main arm is provided with a first limiting groove, and the limiting convex rib is inserted into the first limiting groove. The limiting convex rib is inserted into the first limiting groove, so that the spray arm can be accurately limited. The engagement of the limiting convex rib and the first limiting groove ensures the accuracy and reliability of the limit, and prevents the limiting assembly from unnecessary shaking or position change during use, thereby maintaining the stability of the spray arm during operation, helping to ensure a more consistent cleaning effect of the spray arm and improving the overall performance of the dishwasher.
[0007] In one embodiment, the material of the limit component is POM polyformaldehyde resin or PA polyamide, and the material of the liquid supply main arm and the spray arm is PP polypropylene material.

The limit assembly 2 is communicated with the liquid supply cavity 101 and the liquid passage cavity 302 respectively, thereby realizing the precise control of the liquid supply and improving the accuracy and stability of the liquid spray. The spray arm 3 is arranged on the limit assembly 2 and can rotate relative to the limit assembly 2. This relative rotation design allows the spray arm 3 to move freely within a certain range, which helps to adapt to different cleaning needs and improves the flexibility and applicability of cleaning. The spray arm 3 is provided with a liquid passage cavity 302, and by communicating with the first liquid spray hole 303, the spray arm 3 can realize a more delicate and uniform liquid spray. The design of the liquid passage cavity 302 helps to optimize the flow of liquid in the spray arm, ensure that better liquid spray performance can be obtained when liquid is discharged from the first liquid spray hole 303, and improve the cleaning effect. The spray arm assembly disclosed in the present invention realizes precise control of liquid supply and liquid spraying, optimizes liquid spraying performance, and simultaneously improves the accuracy and applicability of motion control, thereby improving the performance of the overall cleaning system.

Since the liquid supply main arm 1 and the limit assembly 2 are completed at one time through secondary injection molding, the number of parts and assembly steps required in the assembly process are reduced. This helps to reduce the assembly cost on the dishwasher production line and improve production efficiency. Compared with directly molding the two into one, the use of a higher strength limit assembly 2 and the liquid supply main arm 1 for secondary injection molding can improve the overall structural strength and increase the service life.
