The spray arm is rotatably arranged in the box, and the spray arm is provided with a hollow flow channel. The spray arm is also provided with a water outlet connected to the flow channel, and the water outlet is connected to a nozzle that can rotate relative to the spray arm. The above-mentioned spray arm also forms a cavitation water column through an aeration structure.
