When the outer pot cleaning chamber cover is placed on the outer pot cleaning chamber body, the periphery of the outer pot cleaning chamber cover passes through the outer pot cleaning chamber sealing groove. This provides good sealing performance when the cover is on and prevents leakage.

[0010] Preferably, the outer pot cleaning chamber switch structure includes an outer pot cleaning chamber horizontal rotating shaft disposed on one side of the outer pot cleaning chamber and an outer pot cleaning chamber switch cover motor that drives the outer pot cleaning chamber horizontal rotating shaft to rotate, and the outer pot cleaning chamber cover is fixed on the outer pot cleaning chamber rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning fluid output structure of the outer pot cleaning chamber includes a central riser and several edge risers connected to the cleaning fluid supply system. The edge risers are equipped with several nozzles distributed vertically. The edge risers are located at the edges of the outer pot cleaning chamber, with the nozzles opening towards the center of the chamber. The central riser has a first outlet at its top. In use, the outer pot is inverted and fitted onto the central riser, with the edge risers located outside the outer pot.

[0012] Preferably, the first liquid outlet of the outer pot cleaning chamber is a slit structure and there are at least three of them, which are distributed circumferentially along the central riser of the outer pot cleaning chamber. This results in good cleaning effect and high efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the central upright of the outer pot cleaning chamber is a closed structure, and the first liquid outlet of the outer pot cleaning chamber simultaneously penetrates the top wall and the peripheral wall of the central upright of the outer pot cleaning chamber.

[0014] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of this utility model are: it can perform closed-loop cleaning of the outer pot; it is labor-saving and environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description
