[0002] As society develops and progresses, people's pursuit of a higher quality of life often drives the development of certain industries and technological advancements. Dishwashers, as a common item in our daily lives, are having an increasingly significant impact on our lives. As kitchen appliances, dishwashers eliminate the hassle of washing dishes and have become increasingly popular in recent years.

[0003] During the dishwasher's wash cycle, the filtration system filters food debris to prevent it from causing secondary contamination of the dishes through the water flow system. In particular, fine food particles are trapped in the water cup by the micro-filter system, and most of them are eventually discharged from the cavity through the drainage system. However, a small amount of food particles will adhere to the micro-filter system and cannot be drained away, forcing users to regularly disassemble and clean the micro-filter system. Furthermore, if not cleaned in time, food debris attached to the micro-filter system can easily deteriorate and rot, producing odors and breeding bacteria, putting the dishes at risk of secondary contamination and causing great discomfort to the user.

[0004] Dishwashers on the market typically require manual disassembly and cleaning of the filter system to remove any remaining food debris, which can be inconvenient and unpleasant for the user. Alternatively, some methods utilize reverse rotation of the drain pump to agitate the water in a cup to flush the filter system, or incorporate a cleaning ring with spray holes to flush the filter system. Both of these solutions can clean the filter system to a certain extent, but neither is a complete cleansing solution and carries the risk of secondary adsorption and increased water consumption.
