[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of dishwashers, and in particular relates to a mounting assembly of a spray arm of a dishwasher, and a dishwasher with the mounting assembly. Background Art

[0002] Dishwashers integrate the functions of dishwashing, disinfection, drying and storage. They not only change the traditional manual washing method, but also have the advantages of beautiful appearance, convenient use, time-saving and labor-saving, clean and hygienic, and no special installation required. They are increasingly favored by consumers. The working principle of a dishwasher is to drive the washing pump through a motor to spray the washing liquid from the sprayer under a certain pressure, forming a dense hot water flow in three directions. The sprayer rotates due to the reaction force of the water spray, so that the washing liquid is evenly sprayed onto the tableware in the dishwasher, and the tableware is sprayed and rinsed in a three-dimensional manner.

[0003] Patent 201821201329.4 discloses a dishwasher with a spray arm that rotates stably, including a water inlet on an inner tank, a mounting seat on the inner wall of the inner tank, a docking seat on the spray arm, the lower part of the docking seat being the inlet end of the docking seat, the inlet end of the docking seat being inserted into the mounting seat, and the outer wall of the docking seat and the inner wall of the mounting seat being matched to form a gap, the end of the gap close to the water inlet being the gap inlet, and the dishwasher having a blocking portion to prevent powder from being stuck, and the blocking portion at least partially blocks the gap inlet. By setting an integral mounting seat on the inner wall of the inner tank, the installation with the spray arm is achieved; however, the disadvantages of the above patent are: first, the mounting seat is integrally formed on the inner wall of the inner tank, which makes the structure of the inner tank complex and increases the difficulty of manufacturing; second, when the spray arm rotates, the mounting seat and the docking seat rotate relative to each other, and the structural strength and processing accuracy of the mounting seat need to be ensured, which further increases the process requirements for manufacturing the inner tank; third, the versatility of the inner tank is low, and different inner tanks are required for different docking seats.
