An opening is arranged on the side wall of the chopstick cage, and a user can put the chopsticks into the accommodating cavity or take out the chopsticks in the accommodating cavity through the opening. Further, the length of the opening is greater than the length of the chopsticks, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of the chopsticks. A plurality of through holes are further arranged on the side wall of the chopstick cage main body 1, so that the spraying water of the dish washing machine can clean the chopsticks in the accommodating cavity. In the embodiment, the chopstick cage main body 1 is formed by weaving a plurality of metal wire bars, and the gaps between the metal wire bars form the through holes.

[0044] It is to be noted that, although the chopstick cage main body 1 in the embodiment is formed by weaving a plurality of metal wire bars, this arrangement is not a limitation of the utility model, and the person skilled in the art can also adopt other arrangements in other embodiments without departing from the principle of the utility model, for example, the chopstick cage main body 1 is formed by a plate member, and the through holes are arranged on the plate member, so that the spraying water of the dish washing machine can clean the chopsticks in the accommodating cavity. This does not deviate from the basic principle of the utility model, and thus falls within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0045] With reference to Figure 5 , the chopstick cage cover 2 is detachably connected to the opening of the chopstick cage main body 1, so as to close the opening. In the embodiment, a plurality of buckles 21 are arranged on the chopstick cage cover 2, as shown in Figure 6 . The buckles 21 can be clamped to the metal wire bars of the chopstick cage main body 1, so that the chopstick cage cover 2 is connected to the chopstick cage main body 1, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 . The chopstick cage cover 2 is also formed by weaving metal wire bars, and the gaps between the metal wire bars form the through holes, so as to clean the chopsticks in the accommodating cavity.

[0046] It needs to be explained that the connection structure of the chopstick cage body 1 and the chopstick cage cover 2 is that the chopstick cage body 1 and the chopstick cage cover 2 are connected by the plurality of buckles 21 in the embodiment, but this setting mode is not a limitation of the utility model, and other setting modes can be adopted by the person skilled in the art in other embodiments without deviating from the principle of the utility model, for example: one end of the chopstick cage cover 2 is hingedly connected to the chopstick cage body 1, and the other end is connected to the chopstick cage body 1 by the buckle. This does not deviate from the basic principle of the utility model, and thus falls within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0047] Further, the shape of the chopstick cage body 1 and the chopstick cage cover 2 is approximately cylindrical. In other embodiments, it can also be prismatic or other shapes.

[0048] With reference to Figure 9 The chopstick cage support 3 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the inner container 9. The chopstick cage support 3 includes two baffles 31, one end of the chopstick cage body 1 is rotatably connected to the first baffle 31, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second baffle 31, so that the chopstick cage body 1 can rotate. Further, the baffle 31 is wrapped outside the end of the chopstick cage body 1. Specifically, the area of the baffle 31 is greater than the area of the end of the chopstick cage body 1. This setting mode can prevent the chopsticks in the containing cavity from passing out of the end hole of the chopstick cage body 1 and falling outside the chopstick cage.

[0049] With reference to Figure 10 In the embodiment, the driving member 4 is a motor. The driving member 4 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the inner container 9. The first gear 7 is connected to the motor shaft of the driving member 4. The driving member 4 can drive the first gear 7 to rotate.

[0050] The first transmission member 5 is the driving part of the magnetic coupling transmission device, which is rotatably arranged on the outer wall of the inner container 9. The second gear 8 is fixedly arranged on the first transmission member 5, and the first gear 7 is engaged with the second gear 8. When the first gear 7 rotates, the second gear 8 and the first transmission member 5 can be driven to rotate.

[0051] The second transmission member 6 is the driven part of the magnetic coupling transmission device, which is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the inner container 9. When the first transmission member 5 rotates, the second transmission member 6 can be driven to rotate by magnetic force. The specific structure of the magnetic coupling transmission device is the same as that in the prior art, and the specific structure will not be described here.

[0052] With reference to Figure 11The outer wall of the second transmission member 6 comprises a cylindrical surface, and the second transmission member 6 further comprises a plurality of protrusions 61 which are evenly arranged along the circumference of the cylindrical surface. The chopstick cage body 1 comprises a plurality of rod members. Specifically, a plurality of metal wires are arranged on the end face of the chopstick cage body 1 close to the second transmission member 6, and the plurality of metal wires are arranged at intervals along the circumference. The chopstick cage support 3 is provided with a plurality of avoiding holes 32 on the baffle 31 close to the second transmission member 6. Part of the protrusions 61 pass through the avoiding holes 32 and extend into the gaps between the metal wires. When the second transmission member 6 rotates, the protrusions 61 can push the metal wires to rotate the chopstick cage body 1.

[0053] The working principle of the dishwasher is as follows: the user can put chopsticks into the containing cavity of the chopstick cage body 1, and connect the chopstick cage cover 2 to the opening of the chopstick cage body 1 to close the containing cavity. Then, the driving member 4 is started, and the driving member 4 drives the first transmission member 5 to rotate through the first gear 7 and the second gear 8. The first transmission member 5 drives the second transmission member 6 to rotate, and the protrusions 61 of the second transmission member 6 push the chopstick cage body 1 to rotate. At the same time, the spraying device in the inner container 9 sprays water to the chopstick cage body 1, and the spraying water can enter the containing cavity through the through holes on the chopstick cage body 1 and the through holes on the chopstick cage cover 2 to clean the chopsticks in the containing cavity. The rotation of the chopstick cage body 1 can make the chopsticks in the chopstick cage fully contact with the spraying water, thereby improving the cleaning effect. At the same time, the rotating chopstick cage body 1 can also throw the water in the containing cavity out, so as to avoid that the chopsticks after cleaning have too much water remaining on the surface.

[0054] Further, the driving member 4 is arranged outside the inner container 9, so that the spraying water can not enter the driving member 4. The driving member 4 and the chopstick cage body 1 are drivingly connected through the first transmission member 5 and the second transmission member 6, so that the inner container 9 is not required to be provided with holes on the side wall, the sealing property of the inner container 9 is ensured, and the spraying water can not flow out of the inner container 9.

[0055] The technical scheme of the dishwasher has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the dishwasher is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features without departing from the principles of the dishwasher, and the technical schemes after the changes or replacements will all fall within the protection scope of the dishwasher.
