[0038] In order to solve the problem that the racks of existing dishwashers are not suitable for washing fruits and vegetables, this embodiment discloses a dishwasher, which includes a washing basket and a dishwasher body.

[0039] Reference Figure 1The washing basket 1 is shaped like a rectangular box with a receiving cavity 11 provided inside the rectangular box, into which fruits and vegetables can be placed. The four side walls of the washing basket 1 are plate-like structures, and the top of the washing basket 1 is an opening 15, through which the user can place fruits and vegetables into the receiving cavity 11. Two handles 13 are provided on the top of the washing basket 1, through which the user can move the washing basket 1. A hollow portion 12 is provided at the bottom of the washing basket 1, which is specifically a plate-like structure. Compared with the wire mesh shelves in the prior art, this plate-like structure is used to support fruits and vegetables and is less likely to cause damage to the fruits and vegetables. A plurality of through holes are provided on the plate-like structure of the hollow portion 12, which connect the inside of the receiving cavity 11 and the outside of the washing basket 1. Compared with the wire mesh shelves in the prior art, the through holes of this hollow portion 12 are smaller in size. When washing smaller fruits and vegetables, it is not easy for the fruits and vegetables to pass through the through holes and fall out of the washing basket 1.

[0040] Regarding the shape of the washing basket 1, it should be noted that although the washing basket 1 in this embodiment is a rectangular box, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also adopt other arrangements in other embodiments. For example, the washing basket 1 may also adopt other shapes such as a sphere or an ellipsoid, which does not deviate from the basic principles of the present invention and therefore falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Regarding the handle 13, it should be noted that although two handles 13 are provided on the top of the washing basket 1 in this embodiment, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also adopt other arrangements in other embodiments, for example, providing a handle 13 on the front side of the washing basket 1, or replacing the handle 13 with a groove 14, which does not deviate from the basic principles of the present invention and therefore falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] Reference Figure 2The washing basket 1 also includes a first spray assembly. This first spray assembly is fixedly mounted on the outside of the bottom surface of the washing basket 1; in other words, it is fixedly mounted below the hollow portion 12. The first spray assembly includes multiple spray pipes, specifically a central spray pipe 21, an edge spray pipe 22, radial spray pipes 23, and a supplemental spray pipe 24. The central spray pipe 21 is an annular pipe and is located in the center of the bottom surface of the washing basket 1. The edge spray pipe 22 is rectangular and is located along the edge of the bottom surface of the washing basket 1. One end of the radial spray pipe 23 connects to the central spray pipe 21, and the other end connects to the edge spray pipe 22. There are four radial spray pipes 23, evenly arranged in a radial pattern with the central spray pipe 21 as the center. The supplemental spray pipe 24 is located in the gap between the central spray pipe 21, the edge spray pipe 22, and the radial spray pipe 23. Specifically, there are four supplementary spray pipes 24, each disposed at the four corners of the rectangular edge spray pipe 22. The ends of the supplementary spray pipes 24 are connected to the two sides of the corners of the edge spray pipe 22. This arrangement of the spray pipes allows the spray pipes to be evenly distributed throughout the hollow portion 12 of the bottom surface of the washing basket 1.

[0043] It should be noted that regarding the first spray assembly, although the first spray assembly in this embodiment includes a central spray pipe 21, an edge spray pipe 22, a radial spray pipe 23 and a supplementary spray pipe 24, and the number of radial spray pipes 23 and the number of supplementary spray pipes 24 are both 4, this setting is not a limitation of the present invention. Without deviating from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also adopt other settings in other embodiments, for example: adjusting the number of radial spray pipes 23, such as 3 or 6; or, using a serpentine pipe to replace the central spray pipe 21, the edge spray pipe 22, the radial spray pipe 23 and the supplementary spray pipe 24, which does not deviate from the basic principles of the present invention and therefore falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] The plurality of spray pipes are all provided with spray holes, which are arranged toward the interior of the accommodating cavity 11. In other words, the water sprayed from the spray holes can be sprayed into the accommodating cavity 11 through the through holes to wash the fruits and vegetables.

[0045] Reference Figure 3The dishwasher body 4 is provided with a chamber 41 within which the washing basket 1 can be mounted. The washing basket 1 is provided with rollers (not shown) that contact the inner wall of the chamber 41 of the dishwasher body 4, allowing the washing basket 1 to move within the chamber 41 so that the user can remove the washing basket 1. In one embodiment, the rollers are casters disposed at the bottom of the washing basket 1, which contact the bottom surface of the chamber 41 to allow the washing basket 1 to move within the chamber 41. In other embodiments, the dishwasher body 4 and the washing basket 1 are connected by rails, allowing the washing basket 1 to move along the rails.

[0046] A water supply unit (not shown) is further provided in the cavity 41 of the dishwasher body 4. The water supply unit is specifically a water pump, the inlet of which is connected to an external water source. The water pump can absorb water from the external water source, increase the water pressure, and discharge the high-pressure water.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 , the washing basket 1 also includes a connecting pipe 31. A groove 14 is provided on the outer wall of the washing basket 1. The connecting pipe 31 is arranged in the groove 14. The connecting pipe 31 is in the shape of an L-shaped pipe. A water inlet is provided on the edge spray pipe 22, and a first interface 311 is provided at the lower part of the connecting pipe 31. The first interface 311 is sleeved outside the water inlet so that the connecting pipe 31 is connected to the first spray assembly. A second interface 312 is provided at the upper part of the connecting pipe 31, and the second interface 312 is provided on the outer wall of the washing basket 1. One end of the outlet connecting pipe 31 of the water supply component is connected to the second interface 312, and the other end of the pipe is connected to the second interface 312. The high-pressure water provided by the water supply component can flow into the first spray assembly through the hose and the connecting pipe 31 in turn.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 A second spray element 42 is also disposed within the cavity 41 of the dishwasher body 4. This second spray element 42 is specifically a rotatable spray arm. The spray arm in this embodiment has the same structure as conventional dishwasher spray arms, so its structure is not further described. The spray holes of the spray arm face the opening 15 at the top of the wash basket 1. The second spray element 42 sprays water from above into the wash basket 1, while the first spray assembly sprays water from below. This arrangement ensures that the fruits and vegetables in the wash basket 1 are thoroughly cleaned.

[0049] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
