In this embodiment, the escape opening 11 is located directly above the filter device 200, which is convenient for taking and placing the filter device 200.
[0047] The rack assembly provided in this embodiment has a rack body 1 for holding tableware such as bowls and plates, and a cup holder 2 for holding cups, so as to realize the partitioned washing of tableware and cups and ensure the cleaning effect. By setting an avoidance opening 11 in the area corresponding to the filter device 200 on the rack body 1, and detachably installing the cup holder 2 at the position of the avoidance opening 11, the cup holder 2 can be removed separately, and then the filter device 200 of the dishwasher can be taken out from the avoidance opening 11, which is convenient for later cleaning and maintenance of the filter device 200. The design of the rack assembly not only realizes the partitioned washing of tableware and cups, but also does not affect the disassembly and assembly of the filter device 200. The structural layout is reasonable, which improves the practicality and user experience of the dishwasher.
[0048] Optionally, the area of the avoidance opening 11 is larger than the area of the filter device 200, so as to allow the filter device 200 to be taken in and out through the avoidance opening 11. In this way, sufficient space can be reserved for taking in and out the filter device 200, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the filter device 200.
[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cup holder 2 can cover the area where the avoidance opening 11 is located to fully utilize the space in the washing chamber 101 . At the same time, after the cup holder 2 blocks the avoidance opening 11 , it can prevent tableware from falling from the avoidance opening 11 .
[0050] Optionally, a first limiting structure is provided on the shelf body 1, and a second limiting structure is provided on the cup holder 2.

At the same time, the detachable installation of the cup holder 2 relative to the shelf body 1 is realized, which facilitates the later disassembly and assembly of the filter device 200 of the dishwasher.
[0051] Optionally, one of the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure is a hook 21, and the other of the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure is a limiting rib 12, and the hook 21 is hooked and fixed to the limiting rib 12. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The hook 21 is arranged on the cup holder 2, and the limiting rib 12 is arranged on the shelf body 1. The cup holder 2 can be mounted on the shelf body 1 by aligning the hook 21 with the limiting rib 12 and snapping it in. The assembly and disassembly operation is simple.
[0052] Furthermore, the hook 21 can be bent and formed integrally with the transverse rib or the longitudinal rib of the cup holder 2 to reduce the number of assembly steps; of course, the hook 21 can also be bent and formed separately and then fixed (such as welded) to the cup holder 2 later.
[0053] In other embodiments, the hook 21 may be disposed on the shelf body 1 , and the limiting rib 12 may be disposed on the cup holder 2 , as long as the cup holder 2 can be conveniently disassembled and assembled.
[0054] Optionally, at least two adjacent sides of the cup holder 2 are each provided with at least one second limiting structure, so that at least two adjacent sides of the cup holder 2 are both limited, preventing the cup holder 2 from moving in its length direction and width direction, ensuring that the cup holder 2 can be fixed securely.
[0055] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The cup holder 2 is rectangular, and the three sides thereof are all provided with the above-mentioned hooks 21. Correspondingly, the three sides corresponding to the avoidance opening 11 are all provided with limiting ribs 12, so that the three sides of the cup holder 2 are all limited, ensuring that the cup holder 2 is securely installed.
[0056] Furthermore, one hook 21 is disposed on the short side of the cup holder 2 , and two hooks 21 are disposed at intervals on the long side of the cup holder 2 , so as to further improve the reliability of the clamping connection.
[0057] Optionally, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the rack body 1 is provided with a plurality of supporting parts 13, and the plurality of supporting parts 13 are supported on the inner bottom wall of the washing chamber 101. In this embodiment, a rotatable rotating spray arm 300 is provided at the bottom of the washing chamber 101, and the plurality of supporting parts 13 can support the rack body 1 to a certain height, thereby preventing the rack from interfering with the rotation of the rotating spray arm 300, and ensuring the normal operation of the rotating spray arm 300.
[0058] Exemplarily, support parts 13 are provided at the four corners of the shelf body 1, and each support part 13 on the side of the shelf body 1 away from the avoidance opening 11 has two supporting feet to ensure stable support of the shelf body 1 and prevent the shelf body 1 from tipping over after tableware is placed on it.
[0059] Furthermore, a flexible buffer 131 is provided on the support portion 13, and the support portion 13 contacts the bottom wall of the washing chamber 101 through the flexible buffer 131. That is, the support portion 13 is always in flexible contact with the bottom wall of the washing chamber 101, which can prevent the support portion 13 from sliding and provide more stable support, and can prevent the support portion 13 from rubbing against the bottom wall of the washing chamber 101 to generate noise. Exemplarily, the flexible buffer 131 is a rubber sleeve sleeved on the end of the support portion 13.
[0060] Optionally, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The cup rack 2 is provided with a cup spray arm assembly 3, which can spray washing water into the cup to be washed. A connecting pipeline is provided at the bottom of the washing chamber 101, and the water inlet end of the cup spray arm assembly 3 is detachably connected to the connecting pipeline. The connecting pipeline is connected to the water diversion valve of the dishwasher. When the water diversion valve conducts the connecting pipeline, under the action of the dishwasher driving pump, the washing water flows to the cup spray arm assembly 3 through the connecting pipeline, and then the cup spray arm assembly 3 sprays water to the cup to be washed, so as to rinse the cup.
[0061] Specifically, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The cup spray arm assembly 3 includes a first spray arm 31 and a second spray arm 32. The first spray arm 31 is provided with an auxiliary spray arm 311, and the cup to be cleaned is set outside the auxiliary spray arm 311. When the first spray arm 31 is passed with water, the water flow can be sprayed to the inside of the cup through the auxiliary spray arm 311, so that the water flow can fully flush the inside of the cup, thereby flushing the inner wall of the cup and eliminating the cleaning dead corner, especially for the narrow-mouthed cup 10, the flushing effect can be guaranteed. The second spray arm 32 is provided with a plurality of first spray holes 321, and the washing water can be sprayed to the inside of the cup to be cleaned through the first spray holes 321. The cup is placed upside down at the first spray hole 321. Under the action of the driving pump, the washing water in the second spray arm 32 can be sprayed out through the first spray hole 321 to spray the washing water to the inside of the cup, thereby flushing the inner wall of the cup.
[0062] In this embodiment, the auxiliary spray arm 311 is used to rinse the narrow-mouthed cup 10, and the first spray hole 321 is used to rinse the straight-walled cup 20. Figure 6 As shown, the narrow-mouth cup 10 is placed upside down outside the auxiliary spray arm 311 , and the straight-wall cup 20 is placed upside down at the first water spray hole 321 .
[0063] Furthermore, the auxiliary spray arm 311 includes a spray arm inner tube and a spray arm outer tube that is sleeved outside the spray arm inner tube at intervals, a second spray hole 3111 is provided at the top of the spray arm inner tube, and a third spray hole is formed between the top inner wall of the spray arm outer tube and the top outer wall of the spray arm inner tube, that is, the third spray hole is arranged outside the second spray hole 3111, and the washing water in the first spray arm 31 can enter the spray arm inner tube and the spray arm outer tube at the same time, so that the second spray hole 3111 and the third spray hole simultaneously spray water to the inside of the cup, effectively flushing the inner wall of the cup. Since the third spray hole is annular, the water flow sprayed from it can cover the inner wall of the cup over a larger area, increase the effective flushing area of the auxiliary spray arm 311 on the cup, and further improve the flushing effect.
[0064] Exemplarily, three auxiliary spray arms 311 are arranged at intervals on the first spray arm 31 , and the three auxiliary spray arms 311 have different support heights to accommodate washing cups of different heights, thereby improving the versatility of the dishwasher.
[0065] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water inlet end of the first spray arm 31 is provided with a first connector 312, the connecting pipeline includes a first plug-in tube 1011, and the first connector 312 is plugged into the first plug-in tube 1011.
