If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0023] In addition, in the present invention, descriptions such as "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and do not specifically refer to the order or sequence, nor are they used to limit the present invention. They are only used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0024] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a dishwasher of the present invention includes a body 1, a water pump 2, a water divider 3, a water outlet pipe 4, a motor 5 and a spray arm 6. The water pump 2, the water divider 3 and the motor 5 are fixed on the body 1, the water outlet of the water pump 2 is connected to the water inlet of the water divider 3, the water outlet of the water divider 3 is connected to one end of the water outlet pipe 4, the spray arm 6 is connected to the rotating shaft 51 of the motor 5 and is driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 51 of the motor 5, the spray arm 6 is provided with a first sleeve 61 extending downward and connected to the water outlet pipe 4, the lower end of the first sleeve 61 is provided with a connecting ring 62, a transmission shaft 52 is provided between the connecting ring 62 and the rotating shaft 51, the lower end of the transmission shaft 52 is connected to the rotating shaft 51, and the upper end of the transmission shaft 52 extends into the inner hole 63 of the connecting ring 62 and is connected to the connecting ring 62. Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: 1. The spray arm and the motor are connected by a transmission shaft, and the motor drives the spray arm to realize forward and reverse rotation. When the motor rotates, the spray arm rotates, and when the motor is powered off, the spray arm also stops rotating. The structure is simple, and high or low water pressure does not affect the rotation speed of the spray arm. 2. The spray hole of the spray arm is designed with a comprehensive balance, eliminating or weakening the power hole, reducing the ineffective loss of water pressure and water volume. 3. The spray hole does not need to spray in a certain direction, so the placement of tableware does not need strict, standardized, and targeted control. The motor drives the spray arm to rotate, making the spray force greater and effectively improving the cleaning effect. 4. By providing a connecting ring with an inner hole at the lower end of the first sleeve and connecting it to the upper end of the transmission shaft, the length of the transmission shaft is effectively shortened, the loss of motor power is reduced, and the transmission efficiency of the motor shaft is higher.

[0026] Specifically, the upper end of the transmission shaft 52 is polygonal, and the inner hole 63 of the connecting ring 62 has the same shape as the upper end of the transmission shaft 52. Preferably, the upper end of the transmission shaft 52 is hexagonal, and the inner hole 63 of the connecting ring 62 is also hexagonal. During installation, the inner hole 63 of the connecting ring 62 of the first sleeve 61 is simply inserted into the upper end of the transmission shaft 52 to achieve the transmission connection between the connecting ring 62 and the upper end of the transmission shaft 52, making both installation and removal simple and convenient.

[0027] Furthermore, the connecting ring 62 is provided with three connecting ribs 64, one end of which is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 62, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first sleeve 61. After entering the first sleeve 61, the water in the water outlet pipe 4 can pass through the through holes between the three connecting ribs 64 and enter the spray arm 6, where it is sprayed out to clean the dishes in the dishwasher.

[0028] More specifically, a second sleeve 7 is disposed between the outlet pipe 4 and the first sleeve 61. The upper end of the second sleeve 7 is connected to the lower end of the first sleeve 61, and the lower end of the second sleeve 7 is connected to the upper end of the outlet pipe 4. The second sleeve 7 is provided with a positioning ring 71, which allows the drive shaft 52 to pass through and positions the drive shaft 52. The positioning ring 71 is provided with three positioning ribs 73. One end of the positioning rib 73 is fixedly connected to the positioning ring 71, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second sleeve 7. Once water in the outlet pipe 4 enters the second sleeve 7, it can enter the first sleeve 61 through the through-holes between the three positioning ribs 73. Once the drive shaft 52 is installed through the circular hole 72 of the positioning ring 71, it prevents radial tilt, facilitating the insertion of the inner hole 63 of the connecting ring 62 of the first sleeve 61 into the upper end of the drive shaft 52.

[0029] In addition, the transmission shaft 52 has a stepped portion 521 located below the positioning ring 71. After the second sleeve 7 is fixed, the positioning ring 71 limits the stepped portion 521 to prevent the transmission shaft 52 from falling off the rotating shaft 51 of the motor 5.

[0030] Preferably, the dishwasher is further provided with a bracket 8 for fixing the motor 5 , and the body 1 is provided with a positioning column 11 , and the bracket 8 is fixed to the positioning column 11 by screws.

[0031] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
