[0030] See also Figures 1 to 4 In the specific embodiment shown, the utility model discloses a spray arm structure for enhanced regional washing, comprising: a water spray port 10, the interior of the water spray port 10 is hollow, a water inlet channel 121 is provided on one side of the water spray port 10, and a plurality of main water spray ports 111 are provided on the other side, and auxiliary water spray ports 112 are further provided at adjacent positions of the main water spray ports 111, so that the spraying areas of the main water spray ports 111 and the auxiliary water spray ports 112 overlap or intersect.
[0031] Specifically, by setting the interior of the water nozzle 10 to be hollow, a water inlet channel 121 is provided on one side of the water nozzle 10, and a plurality of main water nozzles 111 are provided on the other side. A secondary water nozzle 112 is also provided adjacent to the main water nozzle 111, so that the spraying areas of the main water nozzle 111 and the secondary water nozzle 112 overlap or intersect, so that the secondary water nozzle 112 can supplement the area that the main water nozzle 111 cannot spray. This design cleverly utilizes the overlap or intersection of the spraying areas, thereby ensuring that the cleaning can cover a wider area, reducing blind spots in cleaning, and improving the overall cleaning effect. In addition, the interior of the water nozzle 10 is hollow. This design is mainly for accommodating and transmitting cleaning liquid. The setting of the water inlet channel 121 allows the cleaning liquid to enter the interior of the water nozzle 10 and then be sprayed out through specific water outlets (i.e., the main water nozzle 111 and the secondary water nozzle 112). In addition, a water inlet channel 121 is provided on one side of the water nozzle 10, while several main water nozzles 111 are distributed on the other side. These main water nozzles 111 are the main outlets for the cleaning liquid and are responsible for producing the main spray effect. Auxiliary water nozzles 112 are also provided adjacent to the main water nozzles 111. This layout allows the spray areas of the main water nozzles 111 and auxiliary water nozzles 112 to overlap or intersect, thereby reducing blind spots in cleaning. In addition, this spray arm structure is particularly suitable for applications requiring enhanced area cleaning, such as dishwashers and industrial cleaning equipment. In these devices, cleaning efficiency and cleaning results are crucial. By adopting this spray arm structure, the cleaning performance of the equipment can be effectively improved, meeting users' higher requirements for cleanliness.
[0032] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 As shown, the main water spraying port 111 and the auxiliary water spraying port 112 are both arranged obliquely.
[0033] Specifically, the obliquely arranged main water outlet 111 and auxiliary water outlet 112 can generate oblique spray water flows, which can cover more areas inside the equipment or on the surface to be cleaned; compared with vertically or horizontally arranged water outlets, oblique water outlets can more effectively clean some hard-to-reach corners and gaps, thereby reducing cleaning blind spots. In addition, the oblique water flow can generate a stronger impact force when it hits the surface to be cleaned, which helps to remove stubborn stains and residues. In addition, the oblique spray water flow forms a certain flow inside the equipment or on the surface to be cleaned, which helps to flush away stains and residues, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. In addition, the obliquely arranged main water outlet 111 and auxiliary water outlet 112 can make the spray area overlap, thereby ensuring that the cleaning liquid can fully cover the entire area to be cleaned, improving the uniformity and consistency of cleaning.
[0034] In one embodiment, the spraying angle of the auxiliary water spraying port 112 is smaller than or equal to the spraying angle of the main water spraying port 111 .
[0035] Specifically, the spray angle of the secondary water outlet 112 is smaller than or equal to that of the primary water outlet 111, meaning that the water mist or water flow from the secondary water outlet 112 is more concentrated in a specific area, thereby improving the cleaning intensity in that area. This design is particularly suitable for areas that require focused cleaning, such as heavily soiled and difficult-to-clean areas. Furthermore, by reducing the spray angle of the secondary water outlet 112, the cleaning fluid is more precisely applied to the target area, reducing unnecessary waste. This design also helps improve cleaning efficiency, as the cleaning fluid removes stains more quickly.
[0036] In one embodiment, the spraying angles of the auxiliary water spraying port 112 and the main water spraying port 111 are both 30 degrees to 80 degrees.
[0037] Specifically, a spray angle of 30-80 degrees can ensure that the cleaning liquid covers a wider area, which is especially important for cleaning objects with large areas or complex shapes. Within this angle range, the cleaning liquid can act on the surface to be cleaned at a certain speed and impact force, helping to remove stubborn stains and residues. In addition, the adjustability of the spray angle allows the cleaning equipment to adapt to different cleaning needs; for example, for areas that require fine cleaning, a smaller spray angle (such as 30-45 degrees) can be selected to reduce the waste of cleaning liquid and improve cleaning accuracy; while for areas that require large-area cleaning, a larger spray angle (such as 60-80 degrees) can be selected to improve cleaning efficiency. This design enables the cleaning equipment to be compatible with a variety of cleaning liquids and cleaning methods, such as high-pressure cleaning, foam cleaning, etc., to meet the different needs of users.
[0038] In one embodiment, the distance between the main water spraying port 111 and the auxiliary water spraying port 112 is 3 mm-12 mm.
[0039] Specifically, the distance between the main water jet 111 and the auxiliary water jet 112 is designed to be within the range of 3mm-12mm, ensuring that the cleaning areas between them effectively overlap or intersect. This design increases the coverage density and impact force of the cleaning liquid on the target area, thereby improving the cleaning effect. In other words, the main water jet 111 and the auxiliary water jet 112 work together to clean, so that while the cleaning time remains unchanged, the number of rinses in the hard-to-clean areas of the dishes is increased, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the cleaning effect.
[0040] In one embodiment, the water spray port 10 is composed of a spray arm upper shell 11 and a spray arm lower shell 12 , the main water spray port 111 and the auxiliary water spray port 112 are provided on the spray arm upper shell 11 , and the water inlet channel 121 is provided on the spray arm lower shell 12 .
[0041] Specifically, the water spout 10 consists of an upper spray arm shell 11 and a lower spray arm shell 12. This split design helps enhance the structural strength of the entire water spout 10. Through appropriate shell design and material selection (e.g., plastic), the water spout 10 maintains stability and durability even under high-pressure water flow or during long-term use. Furthermore, the split structure allows the upper spray arm shell 11 and the lower spray arm shell 12 to be repaired or replaced separately. If a component malfunctions or is damaged, there's no need to replace the entire water spout 10, reducing repair costs and time.
[0042] The spray arm upper shell 11 and the spray arm lower shell 12 are welded together using hot plate welding or ultrasonic welding to form the water spout 10. Both hot plate welding and ultrasonic welding utilize high-frequency vibration or high-temperature melting of the contact surfaces to achieve welding. Therefore, the weld strength is very high, ensuring a secure connection between the spray arm upper shell 11 and the spray arm lower shell 12. Both welding processes can form a continuous and dense weld, effectively preventing the leakage of cleaning fluid or other fluids from the weld and ensuring a good seal.
[0043] In one embodiment, slag flushing ports 122 are further provided at both ends of the spray arm lower shell 12 .
[0044] Specifically, the slag flushing port 122 is arranged at the bottom of the lower shell 12 of the spray arm. Through the design of the slag flushing port 122, a part of the cleaning liquid is sprayed out along the slag flushing port 122 to gather the residue scattered below the water spray port 10 to the central area, which helps to collect and process the residue more effectively, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0045] In one embodiment, the water inlet channel 121 is disposed at the center of the bottom of the spray arm lower shell 12 .
[0046] Specifically, setting the water inlet channel 121 at the center position of the bottom of the spray arm lower shell 12 can ensure that the cleaning liquid is evenly distributed from the center to the surrounding areas. This design helps to avoid the problem of uneven distribution of water flow inside the water nozzle 10, which leads to poor cleaning effect in certain areas. In addition, the evenly distributed water flow can act more effectively on the surface to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the water inlet channel 121 at the center position also helps to reduce the resistance and loss of water flow in the water nozzle 10, so that the cleaning liquid can be more fully utilized. In addition, setting the water inlet channel 121 at the center position of the bottom of the spray arm lower shell 12 can help reduce the vibration and noise of the water nozzle 10 during the cleaning process. This is because the design of the center position can make the water flow more smoothly in the water nozzle 10, reducing the vibration and noise caused by the impact of the water flow.
[0047] In one embodiment, the spray arm lower shell 12 is further provided with reinforcing ribs 123 at both ends of the water inlet channel 121 .
[0048] Specifically, the main function of the reinforcing ribs 123 is to enhance the structural strength of the spray arm lower shell 12. Since the water inlet channel 121 is located at the bottom center of the spray arm lower shell 12, the water flow pressure and impact force in this area are relatively large. By providing the reinforcing ribs 123 in this area, these pressures and impact forces can be effectively dispersed and resisted, preventing the spray arm lower shell 12 from deformation or rupture. In addition, the reinforcing ribs 123 not only enhance the structural strength of the spray arm lower shell 12, but also improve its stability. During the cleaning process, the spray arm lower shell 12 needs to withstand the impact and vibration from the cleaning liquid and residue. The provision of the reinforcing ribs 123 can effectively reduce the impact of these impacts and vibrations on the spray arm lower shell 12, making it more stable and reliable.
[0049] The number of the main water spraying ports 111 and the auxiliary water spraying ports 112 is not limited and can be set according to actual needs.
[0050] The utility model also discloses a dishwasher, comprising the spray arm structure for enhanced zone washing as described above.
[0051] Specifically, the interior of the spray arm is hollow, a water inlet channel is provided on one side of the spray arm body, and several main water spray outlets are provided on the other side. Auxiliary water spray outlets are also provided adjacent to the main water spray outlets, so that the spraying areas of the main water spray outlets and the auxiliary water spray outlets overlap or intersect, so that the auxiliary water spray outlets can supplement the flushing of areas that cannot be sprayed by the main water spray outlets. This design cleverly utilizes the overlapping or intersection of the spraying areas, thereby ensuring that the cleaning can cover a wider area, reducing cleaning blind spots, and improving the overall cleaning effect of the dishwasher.
[0052] The above embodiments are preferred implementation schemes of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the present technical solution is within the scope of protection of the present invention.
