The other end of the second delivery pipe 5 is in communication with the input end of the upper water distribution joint 6. The upper water distribution joint 6 and the lower water distribution joint 2 correspond to each other, and the upper water distribution joint 6 is located directly above the lower water distribution joint 2. The output ends of the lower water distribution joint 2 and the upper water distribution joint 6 are both movably sleeved with a first spray arm 7. The lower water distribution joint 2 and the upper water distribution joint 6 are both in communication with the first spray arm 7.
[0027] As shown in the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 2 figures, both the first delivery pipe 4 and the second delivery pipe 5 are U-shaped and are made of hard metal materials.
[0028] In the above technical solution, the first delivery pipe 4 and the second delivery pipe 5 not only play the role of transporting liquid, but also are used to support the upper water distribution joint 6, the first spray arm 7, and the second spray arm 9.
[0029] As shown in the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 5 figures, the lower water distribution joint 2 includes a four-way joint 201. An inner pipe 202 is fixedly connected inside the four-way joint 201. The first delivery pipe 4 is in communication with the inner pipe 202. The output end of the four-way joint 201 is fixedly sleeved with a fixing ring 203. The output end of the inner pipe 202 is sleeved with the fixing ring 203. Through holes 204 are formed in the outer wall of the fixing ring 203. The lower water distribution joint 2 and the upper water distribution joint 6 have the same structure. A sleeve 8 is rotatably sleeved in the middle of the first spray arm 7. One end of the sleeve 8 is in communication with the inner pipe 202. The other end of the sleeve 8 is rotatably sleeved with a second spray arm 9. The sleeve 8 is in communication with the second spray arm 9.
[0030] In the above technical solution, during the main washing process, the second input pipe 3 is connected to the main washing water pump. The main washing liquid enters the first delivery pipe 4 through the second input pipe 3, and then enters the upper water distribution joint 6 and the lower water distribution joint 2 through the first delivery pipe 4. That is, the main washing liquid in the first delivery pipe 4 enters the sleeve 8 through the inner pipe 202, and then enters the second spray arm 9 through the drain holes at the other end of the sleeve 8, and is discharged through the drain holes on the second spray arm 9. The reaction force generated by the ejected main washing water drives the second spray arm 9 to rotate, thereby expanding the main washing range. The second spray arms 9 at the upper water distribution joint 6 and the second spray arms 9 at the lower water distribution joint 2 work simultaneously to double-sidedly wash the tableware and chopsticks.
[0031] During the rinsing process, the first input pipe 1 is connected to the rinsing water pump. The rinsing liquid enters the lower water distribution joint 2 through the first input pipe 1, and then enters the upper water distribution joint 6 through the second delivery pipe 5. That is, the rinsing liquid in the upper water distribution joint 6 enters the first spray arm 7 through the four-way joint 201 and the through hole 204, and is discharged through the drain holes on the first spray arm 7. The reaction force generated by the ejected rinsing liquid drives the first spray arm 7 to rotate, thereby expanding the main washing range. The first spray arms 7 at the upper water distribution joint 6 and the first spray arms 7 at the lower water distribution joint 2 work simultaneously to double-sidedly wash the tableware and chopsticks.
[0032] As shown in the Figure 1 and Figure 6 accompanying drawings, a drain hole is provided at one end of the sleeve 8 close to the second spray arm 9. The second spray arm 9 includes a cross bar 901. A sleeve hole 902 is provided in the middle of the cross bar 901. The sleeve hole 902 communicates with the drain hole at the sleeve 8. A water channel 903 is provided inside the cross bar 901. The sleeve hole 902 communicates with the water channel 903. A second spray hole 905, a first spray hole 904, a third spray hole 906, and a fourth spray hole 907 are sequentially provided on one side of the cross bar 901. The second spray arm 9 has the same structure as the first spray arm 7. The second spray hole 905 and the fourth spray hole 907 are respectively located on the side away from the sleeve hole 902, and the first spray hole 904 and the third spray hole 906 are respectively located on the side close to the sleeve hole 902.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that 105 and 107 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the rotation center line of the second spray arm 9. When water is discharged through 105 and 107, 105 and 107 are used to drive the cross bar 901 to rotate. In specific applications, the number and arrangement of 104 and 106 can be determined according to actual situations.
[0034] In the above technical solution, it enters the sleeve hole 902 and the water channel 903 through the drain hole at the other end of the sleeve 8, and is discharged through the first spray hole 904 and the second spray hole 905. The reaction force generated by the sprayed main washing water drives the second spray arm 9 to rotate, thereby expanding the main washing range.
[0035] As shown in the attached Figure 1 , a limiting ring 11 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the sleeve 8, and a plug cover 10 is sleeved at the bottom of the second spray arm 9.
[0036] In the above technical solution, the first spray arm 7 is limited by the limiting ring 11, and the bottom of the second spray arm 9 is sealed by the plug cover 10.
