[0006] The heat insulation cover has a groove that matches the shape of the heating tube, and the heating tube is installed in the groove.

[0007] The outer edge of the heat insulation cover is provided with a heat insulation edge, which is located outside the groove and covers the heating tube. The water collection cup and the heating tube are separated from each other by the heat insulation edge.

[0008] The inner cavity is provided with a mounting groove that matches the shape of the heat insulation cover, and the heat insulation cover is supported and installed on the mounting groove.

[0009] The heat insulation cover has several retaining ribs on its periphery and several retaining holes on its periphery. The retaining ribs are inserted into the retaining holes to fix the heat insulation cover to the water collection cup.

[0010] The heating tube is provided with a fixing part, the fixing part is provided with a first fixing hole, the water collection cup is provided with a second fixing hole, and fasteners are provided on the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole to fix the heating tube on the water collection cup.

[0011] The fixing part is equipped with a positioning post, and the water collection cup is equipped with a positioning hole, with the positioning post passing through the positioning hole.

[0012] The heat shield is provided with clearance notches for the fixing part to pass through.

[0013] A temperature probe for detecting water temperature is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity, and a turbidity meter for detecting water turbidity is installed on the side of the inner cavity.

[0014] A dishwasher designed for this purpose includes an inner tub, characterized in that: the bottom of the inner tub is provided with the aforementioned water collection cup assembly, and the inner tub is connected to the inner cavity of the water collection cup.

[0015] The dishwasher water collection cup assembly of this utility model features a heat insulation cover positioned between the water collection cup and the heating element. This heat insulation cover separates the water collection cup and the heating element, blocking the heat generated by the heating element and preventing it from radiating to the water collection cup. This prevents the water collection cup from being damaged by high temperatures. Furthermore, when heat radiates to the heat insulation cover, it is reflected back to the heating element, reducing heat loss to a certain extent and improving heating efficiency. This, in turn, enhances the cleaning and sterilization effects. Attached Figure Description
