AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, the spray arm is prone to getting stuck with mud, sand and other debris, and its rotational power is insufficient, which affects the cleaning effect. In addition, adding power holes will reduce the spray head.

Method used

The limiting ribs of the spray arm are arranged in a spiral shape along the axial direction. Combined with the snap ring and buckle design, the spray arm is driven to rotate by water pressure. This avoids setting gaps to prevent debris from getting stuck, and provides rotational power through eccentric spray holes.

Benefits of technology

The increased rotation speed of the spray arm prevents mud and sand from getting stuck, maintaining the cleaning effect without affecting it, and eliminates the need for additional power holes, allowing for smoother rotation driven by water pressure.

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] In the specification and claims of this utility model, terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom," are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of this utility model. However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 The image shows a preferred embodiment of the cleaning machine with a spray arm mounting structure according to the present invention. The spray arm mounting structure includes a water supply system 1 and a spray arm 2.

[0025] The water supply system 1 is a water pump, and the water outlet at the top of the water pump has an upwardly extending water outlet connector 11. Specifically, a retaining ring 111 protrudes from the outer peripheral wall at the top of the water outlet connector 11; a limiting ring 112 protrudes from the inner peripheral wall at the bottom of the water outlet connector 11.

[0026] The spray arm 2 is long and narrow, and has flow channels 20 inside.

[0027] Specifically, the bottom wall of the spray arm 2 has a water inlet connector 21 extending downward and communicating with the flow channel 20 at the middle position. The water inlet connector 21 is rotatably inserted into the water outlet connector 11, and the end of the water inlet connector 21 abuts against the limiting ring 112. The outer peripheral wall of the water inlet connector 21 is provided with a limiting rib 211 that abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the water outlet connector 11, thereby achieving radial cooperation with the water outlet connector 11. The bottom wall of the spray arm 2 also has two buckles 22 arranged circumferentially around the water inlet connector 21. Each buckle 22 is fastened at the retaining ring 111, thereby preventing the water inlet connector 21 from easily disengaging from the water outlet connector 11 while avoiding affecting the rotation of the spray arm 2. The top surface of the spray arm 2 has multiple spray holes 23 communicating with the flow channel 20. Each spray hole 23 is eccentrically arranged and can serve as a power hole to provide rotational power to the spray arm 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the limiting rib 211 is spirally arranged along the axial direction of the water inlet connector 21 on the outer peripheral wall of the water inlet connector 21, and the limiting rib 211 surrounds the outer peripheral wall of the water inlet connector 21 and the inner peripheral wall of the water outlet connector 11 to form a spirally extending channel 2110. Thus, as... Figure 2 As shown, under the pressure of water, the force (F) acting on the limiting rib 211 is perpendicular to the normal direction of the limiting rib 211. This pressure can be decomposed into an upward thrust Fy (lifting the spray arm 2 upward) and a lateral driving force Fx (driving the spray arm 2 to rotate laterally). Furthermore, the number of spiral turns of the limiting rib 211 is denoted as n, where 1 < n < 2, to ensure that the limiting rib 211 fully utilizes the water pressure.

[0029] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the water supply system 1 supplies water, the water enters the flow channel 20 through the outlet connector 11 and the inlet connector 21 in sequence, and is sprayed onto the tableware through each spray hole 23 to achieve the cleaning function. In this process, on the one hand, each spray hole 23 can serve as a power hole to provide rotational power to the spray arm 2. On the other hand, since the limiting rib 211 is arranged in a spiral shape, it can drive the spray arm 2 to rotate laterally under the action of water pressure. Therefore, there is no need to add a power hole. The shape of the limiting rib 211 alone can serve as a power hole, which can avoid the reduction of the spray hole 23 head. In addition, the spiral channel 2110 provides a movement path for mud and sand and other debris, so there is no need to set a notch on the limiting rib 211, and the mud and sand can flow out of the matching space under the action of water pressure.
