[0040] Before any embodiments of the present application are explained in detail, it is to be understood that the application is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the foregoing drawings.

[0041] In this application, the terms "comprises," "includes," "has," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0042] In this application, the term "and / or" describes a relationship between related objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this application generally indicates that the related objects are in an "and / or" relationship.

[0043] In this application, the terms "connect," "combine," "couple," and "install" may refer to direct connection, combination, coupling, or installation, or indirect connection, combination, coupling, or installation. For example, a direct connection refers to two parts or components being connected together without an intermediary, and an indirect connection refers to two parts or components being connected to at least one intermediary, with the two parts or components being connected via the intermediary. Furthermore, "connect" and "couple" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings and may include electrical connections or couplings.

[0044] In this application, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that relative terms (e.g., "about," "approximately," "substantially," etc.) used in conjunction with quantities or conditions include the values ​​and have the meaning indicated by the context. For example, the relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a specific value, the tolerance caused by manufacturing, assembly, use, etc. associated with a specific value. Such terms should also be considered to disclose a range defined by the absolute values ​​of the two endpoints. Relative terms may refer to plus or minus a certain percentage (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. Numerical values ​​that do not use relative terms should also be disclosed as specific values ​​with tolerances. In addition, "substantially" may refer to plus or minus a certain degree (e.g., 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) on the basis of the indicated angle when expressing a relative angular position relationship (e.g., substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular).

[0045] In this application, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the function performed by an assembly can be performed by one assembly, multiple assemblies, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the function performed by a part can also be performed by one part, one assembly, or a combination of multiple parts.

[0046] In the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back" and other directional words are described based on the orientation and positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it is also necessary to understand that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "upper" or "lower", it can not only be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower", but also be indirectly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that directional words such as upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side, back side, etc. not only represent the positive orientation, but can also be understood as the lateral orientation. For example, below can include directly below, lower left, lower right, lower front and lower back, etc.

[0047] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a partial structural diagram of a cleaning machine provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a washing machine, including an inner tank (not shown in the figure), a bowl basket 100, a spray arm device (not shown in the figure) and a middle spray device 200. The bowl basket 100 is installed in the inner tank and is used to place tableware to be washed. The spray arm device is installed in the inner tank, and the middle spray device 200 is installed in the bowl basket 100. The spray arm device has a larger spraying range than the middle spray device 200. The middle spray device 200 is used to enhance the cleaning of tableware. The spray arm device cooperates with the middle spray device 200 to improve the cleaning efficiency of the washing machine.

[0048] In addition, the cleaning machine also includes a water supply system, which is used to supply clean water to the spray arm device and the middle spray device 200. It should be noted that the water supply system can be selected from the water supply system of the existing cleaning machine, which will not be described in detail here.

[0049] Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of the middle spray device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 3 Shown Figure 2 Schematic cross-sectional view of the middle spray device 200. Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the central spray device 200 includes a connecting seat 1, a central spray pipe 2 and a rotating arm 3. The connecting seat 1 is used to connect to the bowl basket 100; the central spray pipe 2 is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 1 around its own axis; the rotating arm 3 is arranged on the outer periphery of the central spray pipe 2 and is sealed with the side wall of the central spray pipe 2 to form a flow channel 30. The central spray pipe 2 has a through hole for connecting the flow channel 30 with the inner cavity of the central spray pipe 2. The rotating arm 3 has a first spray hole 301 and a second spray hole 302 for driving itself to rotate relative to the connecting seat 1. The first spray hole 301 and the second spray hole 302 are respectively located on both sides of the extension line of any diameter of the central spray pipe 2, and the spray directions of both are opposite to the rotation direction of the rotating arm 3. The central spray device 200 does not require an additional driving mechanism to drive the central nozzle 2 to rotate. It only relies on the fluid sprayed from the first spray hole 301 and the second spray hole 302 to generate two opposite torques on the central nozzle 2, so that the central nozzle 2 rotates around its own axis. This not only simplifies the structure of the central spray device 200, but also reduces the requirements for installation space, thereby improving the space utilization of the inner tank.

[0050] In this embodiment, both ends of the middle nozzle 2 are connected to the ribs of the bowl basket 100 through the connecting seat 1 to improve the installation stability of the middle nozzle 2.

[0051] There are at least two rotating arms 3, which are spaced apart along the axis of the central nozzle 2 to enhance the rotational force of the central nozzle 2 and ensure stable rotation of the central nozzle 2. In this embodiment, there are four rotating arms 3, which are evenly spaced apart along the axis of the central nozzle 2.

[0052] The spray directions of the first spray holes 301 of each rotating arm 3 are not all the same, that is, the spray directions of the first spray holes 301 of each rotating arm 3 can be the same or different. Similarly, since the spray directions of the second spray holes 302 are opposite to the spray directions of the first spray holes 301, the spray directions of the second spray holes 302 of each rotating arm 3 can be the same or different.

[0053] It is understandable that the rotating arm 3 can be a one-piece structure or a structure assembled from two or more parts, as long as the rotating arm 3 can be provided with the first spray hole 301 and the second spray hole 302. For example, in this embodiment, the rotating arm 3 includes a first clamping member 31 and a second clamping member 32 that is detachably fixed to the first clamping member 31.

[0054] Figure 4 FIG. 2 shows an exploded schematic diagram of the middle spray device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 Combine Figure 2 As shown, the middle spray device 200 also includes an end cover 5, and both ends of the middle spray pipe 2 are rotatably connected to the connecting seat 1 through the end cover 5. For the convenience of description, the two connecting seats 1 are respectively recorded as the first connecting seat 1a and the second connecting seat 1b, and the two end covers 5 are respectively recorded as the first end cover 5a and the second end cover 5b, wherein the first connecting seat 1a is rotatably connected to the inlet end of the middle spray pipe 2 through the first end cover 5a, and the first end cover 5a has a water inlet hole 501 connected to the inner cavity of the middle spray pipe 2, so that the cleaning water can enter the inner cavity of the middle spray pipe 2 from the water inlet hole 501; the second connecting seat 1b is rotatably connected to the other end of the middle spray pipe 2 through the second end cover 5b, and the second end cover 5b is used to block the inner cavity of the middle spray pipe 2 to prevent the cleaning water in the middle spray pipe 2 from leaking from there.

[0055] In this embodiment, the connection base 1 and the end cover 5 can be integrally formed by injection molding. Plastic parts are not only low in cost but also easy to process and shape, which can reduce the production cost of the product.

[0056] Figure 5 A schematic cross-sectional view of the middle spray device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application at the first end cover 5a is shown. Figure 6 FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the middle spray device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application at the second end cover 5b. Figures 5 and 6 Combined with Figure 4 As shown, the first end cover 5a and the second end cover 5b both include a rotating portion 52 and a connecting portion 51 connected to the rotating portion 52. The connecting portion 51 is detachably fixedly connected to the middle nozzle 2, and the rotating portion 52 is used to rotate with the corresponding connecting seat 1 so that the middle nozzle assembly formed by the middle nozzle 2 and the first end cover 5a and the second end cover 5b can rotate around its own axis relative to the connecting seat 1.

[0057] Both the first connecting base 1a and the second connecting base 1b have a mounting cavity 11, and the corresponding rotating portion 52 is rotatably accommodated around its own axis in the mounting cavity 11. This arrangement not only facilitates the assembly of the rotating portion 52 with the connecting base 1, but also limits the rotation of the rotating portion 52, ensuring the stability of the rotation of the rotating portion 52.

[0058] Furthermore, the mounting cavity 11 has a stepped surface 110, and the end surface of the rotating portion 52 has a spherical protrusion 521 that can abut against the stepped surface 110. The spherical protrusion 521 can reduce the friction between the rotating portion 52 and the stepped surface 110 of the mounting cavity 11, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotation of the rotating portion 52 and reducing the wear rate of the spherical protrusion 521, thereby extending the service life of the end cap 5.

[0059] In this embodiment, there are four spherical protrusions 521, which are spaced apart around the axis of the rotating portion 52. In other embodiments, the number of spherical protrusions 521 can be three, five, six, seven, eight, or any other number, which will not be described one by one here.

[0060] In addition, in this embodiment, the structures of the first connecting seat 1a and the second connecting seat 1b are different, the structures of the first end cover 5a and the second end cover 5b are also different, and the matching mode between the first end cover 5a and the first connecting seat 1a and the matching mode between the second end cover 5b and the second connecting seat 1b are not all the same. Therefore, in order to clearly describe the solution of the embodiment of the present application, the following is combined with Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The structures of the first connecting base 1a, the second connecting base 1b, the first end cover 5a and the second end cover 5b are described in detail.

[0061] like Figure 5 Combine Figure 2 As shown, the mounting cavity 11 of the first connecting seat 1a comprises a large hole portion 111 and a small hole portion 112 coaxially disposed with and connected in a stepped manner to the large hole portion 111. The junction between the large hole portion 111 and the small hole portion 112 forms the aforementioned stepped surface 110. The rotating portion 52 of the first end cap 5a is located within the large hole portion 111, and the spherical protrusion 521 at the end of the rotating portion 52 is capable of abutting against the stepped surface 110, thereby reducing the rotational friction between the first end cap 5a and the first connecting seat 1a. This not only ensures stable rotation of the middle nozzle 2, but also reduces wear on the first end cap 5a, thereby extending the service life of the first end cap 5a.

[0062] In addition, the first connecting seat 1a also has an adjustment channel 101, which has an inlet through hole 1011 and an outlet through hole 1012 spaced apart along the axis of the middle nozzle 2. The middle nozzle device 200 also includes an adjustment member 4, which is rotatably installed on the adjustment channel 101 around its own axis, and the axis of the adjustment member 4 is perpendicular to the axis of the middle nozzle 2. The adjustment member 4 can have a first adjustment hole 41 connected to the inlet through hole 1011, and a second adjustment hole 42 connected to the outlet through hole 1012. By rotating the adjustment member 4, the flow rate entering the middle nozzle 2 can be adjusted.

[0063] In this embodiment, the second adjustment hole 42 is directly connected to the small hole portion 112 of the installation cavity 11 , and the rotating portion 52 of the first end cover 5 a further has a water inlet hole 501 directly connected to the small hole portion 112 .

[0064] To facilitate the detachable and fixed connection between the first end cap 5a and the middle nozzle 2, the end of the connecting portion 51 facing away from the rotating portion 52 has a snap-fit ​​buckle 511, and the middle nozzle 2 has a snap-fitting groove 21 that snaps into engagement with the snap-fit ​​buckle 511. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​buckle 511 is located outside the middle nozzle 2 and snaps into engagement with the snap-fitting groove 21 of the middle nozzle 2.

[0065] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 51 is arc-shaped, and the two connecting portions 51 are spaced apart along the circumference of the rotating portion 52. The free ends of the two connecting portions 51 each have a snap-in interface. Correspondingly, the middle nozzle 2 has a snap-in groove 21 at a position corresponding to the snap-in buckle 511. The two connecting portions 51 are located on the outside of the middle nozzle 2, and the snap-in buckle 511 snaps into the snap-in groove 21 from the outside. In addition, the end of the connecting portion 51 facing away from the rotating portion 52 also has a limiting portion 502. There are two limiting portions 502, which are arranged opposite to each other and are both located between the two connecting portions 51. The two limiting portions 502 and the two connecting portions 51 form a cylindrical accommodating cavity, so that the middle nozzle 2 can be stably inserted into the accommodating cavity, ensuring the stability of the connection between the middle nozzle 2 and the first end cover 5a.

[0066] like Figure 6 Combine Figure 2 As shown, the mounting cavity 11 of the second connecting seat 1b comprises a large hole portion 111 and a small hole portion 112 coaxially disposed with and connected in a stepped manner to the large hole portion 111. The junction between the large hole portion 111 and the small hole portion 112 forms the aforementioned stepped surface 110. The rotating portion 52 of the second end cap 5b is located within the large hole portion 111, and the spherical protrusion 521 at the end of the rotating portion 52 is capable of abutting against the stepped surface 110, thereby reducing the rotational friction between the second end cap 5b and the second connecting seat 1b. This not only ensures the stable rotation of the middle nozzle 2, but also reduces the wear of the second end cap 5b, thereby extending the service life of the second end cap 5b.

[0067] It can be understood that the second end cover 5b is used to seal the inner cavity of the middle nozzle 2, and therefore, no through hole is provided on the rotating portion 52 of the second end cover 5b.

[0068] To facilitate the detachable and fixed connection between the first end cap 5a and the middle nozzle 2, the end of the connecting portion 51 facing away from the rotating portion 52 has a snap-fit ​​buckle 511, and the middle nozzle 2 has a snap-fitting groove 21 that snaps into the snap-fit ​​buckle 511. Furthermore, the snap-fitting buckle 511 is inserted into the middle nozzle 2 and snap-fits into the snap-fitting groove 21 of the middle nozzle 2.

[0069] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 51 is arc-shaped, and the two connecting portions 51 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotating portion 52. The free ends of the two connecting portions 51 have a card interface. Correspondingly, the position of the middle nozzle 2 corresponding to the card buckle 511 has a card slot 21, and the two connecting portions 51 can be inserted into the middle nozzle 2, and the card buckle 511 thereof is carded into the card slot 21 from the inner side to the outside of the card slot 21.

[0070] Furthermore, the second end cover 5b further includes an extension shaft portion 503, which is inserted into the small hole portion 112 and rotatably engaged with the small hole portion 112 to ensure the rotation stability of the second end cover 5b.

[0071] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the connection method between the first end cover 5a and the first connecting seat 1a can also be the same as the connection method between the second end cover 5b and the second connecting seat 1b, for example, both adopt the above-mentioned method. Figure 5 The connection method shown in the figure can also be used as shown in the figure. Figure 6 The connection method shown can be designed according to specific needs and is not limited here.

[0072] Similarly, the connection method between the first end cover 5a and the middle nozzle 2 can also be the same as the connection method between the second end cover 5b and the middle nozzle 2, for example, both use the above-mentioned Figure 5 The connection method shown in the figure can also be used as shown in the figure. Figure 6 The connection method shown can be specifically designed as needed and is not limited here. In addition to the two connection methods described above, the connection method between the first end cap 5a and the middle nozzle 2 and the connection method between the second end cap 5b and the middle nozzle 2 can also be realized by making the connecting portion 51 have an interference fit with the middle nozzle 2 through a sealing ring, and the end cap 5 and the middle nozzle 2 can also be detachably connected.

[0073] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit this application in any form, and any technical solutions obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection of this application.
