The slide rail has a rotating groove on its inner wall, in which a bearing is arranged. The other end of the threaded rod 63 is inserted into the rotating groove, and part of its outer surface wall is connected to the inner ring surface of the bearing to assist the rotation of the threaded rod 63 in the slide rail. The movable seat 62 has a threaded hole, which is used to fit the threaded rod 63 and is set in the slide rail, so that the movable seat 62 can be moved in sliding during the rotation of the threaded rod 63. Two first bearing seats 64 are symmetrically installed on the two side walls of the movable seat 62.

[0027] Furthermore, a water supply assembly 7 is installed on the back wall of the cabinet body 1. The water supply assembly 7 includes a water pump 71, a diversion pipe 72, a telescopic pipe 73, and sliders 74. The water pump 71 is fixedly installed on the back wall of the cabinet body 1. The inlet end of the water pump 71 is connected to an external water supply pipe for convenient water supply to the storage cavity for cleaning. The output end of the water pump 71 is connected to the diversion pipe 72 and also communicates with the inside of the diversion pipe 72 for water supply. The back walls of the two sliding grooves are symmetrically provided with movable openings. The two telescopic pipes 73 are respectively arranged in the movable openings at corresponding positions. The inlet ends of the two sliders 74 are connected to the two sides of the telescopic pipes 73. The water outlet is connected to facilitate the guidance of the water source using the telescopic pipe 73; two sliders 74 are symmetrically arranged in two sliding grooves, and a water supply chamber is opened in the two sliders 74. Openings are opened on the back and side walls of the water supply chamber, so that the water outlet of the telescopic pipe 73 is connected to the opening on the back of the water supply chamber, and the opening end of the water guide tube 51 is connected to the opening on the side wall of the water supply chamber, which facilitates the supply of water to the water guide tube 51. The protruding end of the water spray tube 52 is connected to the rotating end of a first bearing seat 64, and the protruding end of the water guide tube 51 is connected to the rotating end of a second bearing seat installed on the inner side wall of the water spray tube 52, which facilitates subsequent rotation and water spraying.

[0028] In this embodiment, by activating the water pump 71 to inject water into the diversion pipe 72, the water source is diverted by the diversion pipe 72 and enters the two telescopic pipes 73 respectively. The water then passes through the water supply chamber in the slider 74 and enters the water guide cylinder 51. Using the holes on the outer wall of the water guide cylinder 51, the water source can enter the spray nozzle 52 and automatically spray water to clean the receiving cavity through multiple nozzles 53, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and providing convenience for cleaning work. Furthermore, activating the forward and reverse motor 61 drives the threaded rod 63 to rotate, allowing the position of the movable seat 62 to be adjusted during rotation. The first bearing seat 64 drives the connected spray nozzle 52 to move. During this movement, the spray nozzle 52 drives the gear ring 54 to move, causing the gear ring 54 to rotate under the influence of the rack 55, which in turn drives the nozzles 53 to rotate and spray water, further expanding the cleaning range. Simultaneously, it can also adjust the position of the spray nozzles according to the movement of the spray nozzles. The seat 62 adjusts the cleaning position of the nozzle 53, facilitating cleaning. Its reciprocating rotation avoids the limited spray range caused by a fixed nozzle 53, thus improving cleaning effectiveness. Wastewater from cleaning easily enters the inclined drainage chamber through the drain hole, then is discharged via the solenoid valve 4. After discharge, the electric heating plate 8 heats the walls of the collection chamber, accelerating water drying and evaporation. High-temperature heating also sterilizes the water, improving hygiene within the collection chamber. The slider 74, connected to the water guide tube 51, is affected by the spray tube 52 and needs to move. The sliding groove guides the movement of the spray tube 52, facilitating its reciprocating motion and aiding in cleaning. The telescopic tube 73's expandability prevents water supply disruptions during movement, thus avoiding obstacles to cleaning.

[0029] The above specific embodiments are merely several preferred embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
