Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of home appliances, and more specifically, relates to a dishwasher. Background Technology

[0002] Dishwashers are commonly used kitchen appliances, primarily for cleaning dishes. They remove grease and food residue from the surface of dishes through water rinsing and detergent action. However, users also frequently need to wash fruits and vegetables in the kitchen. Currently, fruit and vegetable washing mainly relies on manual rinsing or dedicated fruit and vegetable washing machines. Manual rinsing is inefficient and fails to completely remove pesticide residues from the surface; while dedicated fruit and vegetable washing machines can achieve a certain degree of pesticide residue degradation, their independent setup increases kitchen space usage, and their limited functionality leads to higher operating costs.

[0003] Currently, some existing technologies integrate fruit and vegetable cleaning functions into dishwashers, such as by adding ozone generators or ultrasonic devices to assist cleaning. However, the oxidation efficiency of ozone generators is unstable and easily affected by water temperature and water quality, and ozone residue may affect the taste of fruits and vegetables. Ultrasonic cleaning causes greater physical damage to the surface of fruits and vegetables, and is especially unsuitable for soft fruits and vegetables.

[0004] Therefore, existing dishwashers suffer from poor cleaning performance, low cleaning efficiency, and low functional integration when cleaning fruits and vegetables, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a dishwasher, including a cabinet 100 and a holding assembly 200, a water circuit assembly 300, an electrolysis assembly 400 and a spray assembly 500 installed on the cabinet 100.

[0050] The housing 100 can be a rectangular or other shaped shell structure, and its material can be metal, plastic, or other suitable materials to ensure its structural strength and corrosion resistance. The housing 100 may consist of an outer casing (not shown) and an inner liner disposed inside the outer casing. The inner liner has a cleaning chamber 101, one side of which has an opening for inserting and removing the components 200. A door (not shown) may be hinged to the opening of the cleaning chamber 101 to close or open the cleaning chamber 101.

[0051] The holding component 200 is used to hold items to be cleaned, such as tableware or fruits and vegetables. The holding component 200 can be movably connected to the cleaning chamber 101, for example, it can be slidably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 101 so that it can slide out of the cleaning chamber 101, making it convenient for the user to take out or put in the items to be cleaned.

[0052] A water circuit assembly 300 can be installed at the bottom of the housing 100 for connecting to an external water source. An electrolysis assembly 400 can be connected to the water circuit assembly 300 to electrolyze the water entering the water circuit assembly 300 to produce electrolyzed water. A spray assembly 500 can be installed in the cleaning chamber 101 and connected to the water circuit assembly 300 to spray the electrolyzed water in the water circuit assembly 300 to the holding assembly 200, so as to rinse the items to be cleaned in the holding assembly 200 through the water flow.

[0053] Reference Figure 3In some embodiments, the water system assembly 300 may include a water collection tank 310. The water collection tank 310 may be a shell structure of any shape, with a hollow interior forming a water collection cavity 311. The water collection tank 310 may be connected to the bottom of the housing 100 and may be connected to an external water source to receive water input from the external water source. The water collection cavity 311 may also communicate with the interior of the cleaning chamber 101, allowing the cleaned water to circulate back into the water collection tank 310.

[0054] The water system assembly 300 may also include a drain pump 330, which is connected to the water collection tank 310 for connecting to an external water source. The drain pump 330 may be a centrifugal pump or a gear pump, capable of continuously and stably injecting water from an external water source into the water collection tank 310.

[0055] The water system assembly 300 may also include a connecting pipe 340, one end of which is connected to the water collection tank 310 and the other end of which is connected to the spray assembly 500. The connecting pipe 340 refers to the fluid transport channel connecting the water collection tank 310 and the spray assembly 500, and can be implemented using a stainless steel corrugated pipe or a high-temperature resistant plastic pipe, the function of which is to form a closed water circulation path.

[0056] The water circuit assembly 300 may also include a heating pump 350, which is disposed in the connecting pipe 340 and is used to heat the water in the connecting pipe 340 to a preset temperature so that the object to be cleaned can be cleaned with water at a certain temperature, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the object to be cleaned.

[0057] The water circuit assembly 300 may also include a water distribution valve 360, which is connected between the connecting pipe 340 and the spray assembly 500 to control the water flow into the spray assembly 500, ensuring that the water can be sprayed evenly and in appropriate amounts onto the holding assembly 200, thereby effectively rinsing the items to be cleaned.

[0058] When the water system assembly 300 is running, water from an external water source is pressurized by the drain pump 330 and enters the water collection tank 310, then is transported to the spray assembly 500 via the connecting pipe 340. The heating pump 350 heats the flowing water in real time within the connecting pipe 340, ensuring that the water sprayed by the spray assembly 500 reaches a preset temperature. In this process, the heating pump 350 acts directly on the flowing water, avoiding the heat loss problem present in traditional storage-type heating systems.

[0059] The electrolysis unit 400 can be connected to the water collection tank 310 to electrolyze the water in the water collection tank 310 to generate electrolyzed water in the water collection tank 310, and then the electrolyzed water is transported to the spray assembly 500 to clean the items to be cleaned in the container 200.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the water circuit assembly 300 may further include a support member 320, which is connected to the water collection tank 310. The support member 320 may have an installation hole 321, into which the electrolysis assembly 400 can be inserted, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the electrolysis assembly 400 and the water collection tank 310.

[0061] The water collection tank 310 may be equipped with a connection port, and the support member 320 may be a support structure that matches the shape of the connection port. Its material may be metal or high-strength plastic to ensure the stability and durability of the support member 320. The connection between the support member 320 and the water collection tank 310 may be achieved by bolting, snap-fitting, or welding to ensure the stability and sealing of the connection. The mounting hole 321 is a through hole whose shape and size match the electrolysis assembly 400, allowing the electrolysis assembly 400 to be accurately and stably inserted into the mounting hole 321.

[0062] A sealing ring 322 may also be provided between the support member 320 and the electrolysis component 400. The sealing ring 322 may be made of rubber or other elastic sealing materials, and its shape may be rectangular, circular, or any other arbitrary shape. When the electrolysis component 400 is inserted into the mounting hole 321, the sealing ring 322 can be pressed between the electrolysis component 400 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 321 to seal the gap between the electrolysis component 400 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 321, thereby improving waterproof performance and sealing, preventing water from leaking from the gap between the electrolysis component 400 and the mounting hole 321, and ensuring the normal operation of the dishwasher.

[0063] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 400 may include: a housing 410, a drive unit 420, a conductive structure, an anode electrolysis plate 450, and a cathode electrolysis plate 460. The housing 410 is detachably connected to the water collection tank 310, and the interior of the housing 410 has an independent electrolysis chamber 4101 and a power supply chamber 4102. The housing 410 has a water passage connecting the electrolysis chamber 4101 and the water collection tank 310. The drive unit 420 is disposed in the power supply chamber 4102 and connected to an external power source. The conductive structure includes a first conductive post 430 and a second conductive post 440 spaced apart, both partially located in the electrolysis chamber 4101 and partially located in the power supply chamber 4102 and electrically connected to the drive unit 420. The anode electrolytic plate 450 is disposed in the electrolysis chamber 4101 and connected to the first conductive post 430. The cathode electrolytic plate 460 is disposed at intervals and connected to the second conductive post 440. Both the anode electrolytic plate 450 and the cathode electrolytic plate 460 are spaced apart from the inner wall of the electrolysis chamber 4101 or have water passage holes.

[0064] When the electrolysis assembly 400 is running, an external power source supplies power to the conductive structure through the drive component 420. The first conductive post 430 conducts the current to the anode electrolytic plate 450, and the second conductive post 440 conducts the current to the cathode electrolytic plate 460. Water flows from the water collection tank 310 into the electrolysis chamber 4101 through the water passage, and electrolysis occurs between the anode and cathode electrolytic plates 450. The electrolyzed water produced by electrolysis can return to the water collection tank 310 with the water flow to participate in cleaning.

[0065] Through the above technical solution, the active substances generated by electrolysis can simultaneously decompose grease on tableware and pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables, achieving a multi-functional cleaning effect. The spaced arrangement of the anode and cathode electrolytic plates 450 enables the water flow to form a multi-stage electrolytic reaction, improving the efficiency of hydroxyl radical generation. The detachable outer shell 410 structure facilitates regular cleaning of deposits in the electrolysis chamber 4101, extending the service life of the electrolysis component 400. The physical isolation design between the electrolysis chamber 4101 and the power supply chamber 4102 effectively prevents the risk of leakage and ensures the safety of equipment operation.

[0066] The outer casing 410 is a hollow shell component, internally forming two independent spaces: an electrolysis chamber 4101 and a power supply chamber 4102. The electrolysis chamber 4101 and the power supply chamber 4102 are independent because they are completely isolated by a physical partition 412, preventing moisture from entering the power supply chamber 4102 and affecting circuit safety. The outer casing 410 can be made of corrosion-resistant, high-strength metal or plastic to ensure its structural strength and durability. A water passage hole is provided on the outer casing 410, connecting the electrolysis chamber 4101 and the water collection tank 310, allowing water from the water collection tank 310 to enter the electrolysis chamber 4101 for electrolysis. The detachable connection means that the outer casing 410 and the water collection tank 310 can be quickly installed and disassembled via clips or threads; specifically, a flexible clip structure can be used to facilitate the replacement of the entire electrolysis assembly 400 during maintenance.

[0067] The water passage connecting the electrolysis chamber 4101 and the water collection tank 310 means that water can flow bidirectionally through this passage. Specifically, multiple circular through holes can be opened on the outer shell 410 to ensure sufficient exchange of water between the electrolysis chamber 4101 and the water collection chamber 311. The first conductive post 430 and the second conductive post 440 are spaced apart, meaning that the axes of the two posts are parallel and have a certain distance between them. Specifically, they can be made of copper alloy with a nickel-plated surface. The anode electrolysis plate 450 is spaced from the inner wall, meaning that there is a certain distance between the edge of the electrolysis plate and the inner wall of the cavity. Specifically, this can be achieved by setting insulating positioning protrusions on the outer edges of the anode electrolysis plate 450 and the cathode electrolysis plate 460 to form a space around the anode electrolysis plate 450 and the cathode electrolysis plate 460 for water flow, thereby improving the flow of water within the electrolysis chamber 4101. The water passage hole refers to the distribution of multiple through holes on the surface of the electrolytic plate. Specifically, these can be circular holes or other shaped through holes, allowing water to flow through them. This reduces water flow resistance while increasing the contact area between the anode electrolytic plate 450 and the cathode electrolytic plate 460 and the water.

[0068] In some embodiments, there are multiple anode electrolytic plates 450 and multiple cathode electrolytic plates 460; the multiple anode electrolytic plates 450 and multiple cathode electrolytic plates 460 are arranged alternately along the extension direction of the electrolysis cavity 4101.

[0069] The anode electrolytic plate 450 refers to a thin metal sheet connected to the first conductive post 430, which can be implemented using a titanium-based coated electrode or a platinum electrode. The cathode electrolytic plate 460 refers to a thin metal sheet connected to the second conductive post 440, which can be made of stainless steel or a nickel alloy. The staggered arrangement means that the anode electrolytic plate 450 and the cathode electrolytic plate 460 are alternately distributed along the length of the electrolysis chamber 4101, specifically arranged with equal or gradually changing intervals, forming a continuous electrolysis field through alternating arrangement.

[0070] Specifically, multiple sets of anode electrolytic plates 450 and cathode electrolytic plates 460 are sequentially installed along the axial direction within the electrolysis chamber 4101, with appropriate spacing maintained between adjacent anode electrolytic plates 450 and cathode electrolytic plates 460. When water flows into the electrolysis chamber 4101 through the water passage, it passes sequentially through the first water passage 451 of the anode electrolytic plate 450 and the second water passage 461 of the cathode electrolytic plate 460, forming a multi-stage electrolysis path between the staggered electrode plates. During electrolysis, the electric field coverage area between the anode electrolytic plate 450 and the cathode electrolytic plate 460 expands with the direction of water flow, allowing the electrolysis reaction to repeat between multiple electrode layers.

[0071] Through the above technical solution, this application can increase the contact area of ​​the electrolysis reaction within a limited space, improve the degradation efficiency of pollutants in water, and avoid the problem of increased water flow resistance caused by dense electrode arrangement. The staggered electrode structure allows the electrolysis to cover the entire water flow channel, ensuring effective electrolysis in areas with different flow rates, making it suitable for integration into space-constrained devices such as dishwashers for efficient water treatment.

[0072] This application further proposes that the anode electrolytic plate 450 has a first connecting hole 452 and a first clearance hole 453, and the cathode electrolytic plate 460 has a second connecting hole 462 and a second clearance hole 463. A first conductive post 430 passes through the first connecting hole 452 of each anode electrolytic plate 450 and is electrically connected to each anode electrolytic plate 450. The first conductive post 430 also passes through the second clearance hole 463 of each cathode electrolytic plate 460 and is spaced apart from each cathode electrolytic plate 460. A second conductive post 440 passes through the second connecting hole 462 of each cathode electrolytic plate 460 and is electrically connected to each cathode electrolytic plate 460. The second conductive post 440 also passes through the first clearance hole 453 of each anode electrolytic plate 450 and is spaced apart from each anode electrolytic plate 450.

[0073] Specifically, the first connecting hole 452 refers to the hole on the anode electrolytic plate 450 for forming a conductive contact with the first conductive post 430. It can be implemented as a circular through hole with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the conductive post to achieve an interference fit. The second connecting hole 462 refers to the conductive channel on the cathode electrolytic plate 460 that mates with the second conductive post 440, and its implementation is similar to that of the first connecting hole 452. The first clearance hole 453 refers to a non-contact hole on the anode electrolytic plate 450 through which the second conductive post 440 passes. It can be an elliptical hole or a circular hole with a diameter larger than the conductive post, maintaining an insulating gap between the second conductive post 440 and the anode electrolytic plate 450. The second clearance hole 463 refers to a non-contact hole on the cathode electrolytic plate 460 through which the first conductive post 430 passes, and its structural features are symmetrical to those of the first clearance hole 453.

[0074] Specifically, the anode electrolytic plate 450 is fixedly connected to the first conductive post 430 through the first connecting hole 452, ensuring that multiple anode electrolytic plates 450 are arranged in parallel and synchronously energized within the electrolysis chamber 4101. The cathode electrolytic plate 460 is fixedly connected to the second conductive post 440 through the second connecting hole 462, realizing an independent conductive circuit for the cathode group. When the first conductive post 430 passes through the second clearance hole 463 of the cathode electrolytic plate 460, insulation is formed between the hole wall and the conductive post, preventing short circuits between the anode and cathode. Similarly, the second conductive post 440 maintains an insulating distance when passing through the first clearance hole 453 of the anode electrolytic plate 450. This staggered arrangement structure allows the anode electrolytic plates 450 and cathode electrolytic plates 460 to achieve a high-density arrangement within a limited space, while ensuring independent conductivity for each electrode group.

[0075] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 400 may further include at least one first insulating sleeve 470 connected in a first clearance hole 453, with two extended ends of the first insulating sleeve 470 respectively abutting against two adjacent anode electrolytic plates 450, and a first conductive post 430 passing through the first insulating sleeve 470; and at least one second insulating sleeve 480 connected in a second clearance hole 463, with two extended ends of the second insulating sleeve 480 respectively abutting against two adjacent cathode electrolytic plates 460, and a second conductive post 440 passing through the second insulating sleeve 480.

[0076] The first insulating sleeve 470 is an insulating component fitted between the first conductive post 430 and the anode electrolytic plate 450. It can be implemented using a tubular structure made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and is used to isolate direct contact between the first conductive post 430 and the cathode electrolytic plate 460. The second insulating sleeve 480 is an insulating component fitted between the second conductive post 440 and the cathode electrolytic plate 460. It can be implemented using a ring structure made of ceramic material and is used to block the current path between the second conductive post 440 and the anode electrolytic plate 450.

[0077] Specifically, when the anode electrolytic plates 450 and cathode electrolytic plates 460 are arranged alternately, the first conductive post 430 needs to pass through the first connecting holes 452 of all the anode electrolytic plates 450 and the second clearance holes 463 of all the cathode electrolytic plates 460. The first insulating sleeve 470 is press-fitted into the first clearance hole 453 of the anode electrolytic plate 450, with its two ends contacting the adjacent anode electrolytic plates 450 respectively, forming an axial limiting constraint. When the first conductive post 430 passes through the inside of the first insulating sleeve 470, it establishes an electrical connection with the anode electrolytic plate 450 through the first conductive sleeve 471, while the first insulating sleeve 470 blocks the contact between the first conductive post 430 and the cathode electrolytic plate 460. Similarly, the second insulating sleeve 480 is installed in the second clearance hole 463 of the cathode electrolytic plate 460, with both ends abutting against the adjacent cathode electrolytic plate 460. When the second conductive post 440 passes through the second insulating sleeve 480, it conducts through the second conductive sleeve 481 to the cathode electrolytic plate 460, while avoiding short circuit with the anode electrolytic plate 450.

[0078] Through the synergistic effect of the insulating sleeve and the conductive sleeve, a stable current transmission path is maintained while ensuring the spacing accuracy of each anode electrolytic plate 450 and each cathode electrolytic plate 460, thereby improving the electrolysis reaction efficiency and extending the service life of the component.

[0079] In some embodiments, a first conductive sleeve 471 is nested inside the first insulating sleeve 470, with both ends of the first conductive sleeve 471 abutting against two adjacent anode electrolytic plates 450, and a first conductive post 430 passing through the first conductive sleeve 471; a second conductive sleeve 481 is nested inside the second insulating sleeve 480, with both ends of the second conductive sleeve 481 abutting against two adjacent cathode electrolytic plates 460, and a second conductive post 440 passing through the second conductive sleeve 481.

[0080] The first insulating sleeve 470 is an insulating component fitted over the first conductive post 430, specifically made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), used to isolate direct contact between adjacent anode electrolytic plates 450 and the first conductive post 430, preventing short circuits. The first conductive sleeve 471 is a conductive component nested inside the first insulating sleeve 470, specifically a copper sleeve, with its two ends contacting adjacent anode electrolytic plates 450 to form a current transmission path. The second insulating sleeve 480 is an insulating component fitted over the second conductive post 440, specifically made of ceramic, used to isolate direct contact between adjacent cathode electrolytic plates 460 and the second conductive post 440. The second conductive sleeve 481 is a conductive component nested inside the second insulating sleeve 480, specifically made of silver-plated aluminum, with its two ends contacting adjacent cathode electrolytic plates 460 to form a current path.

[0081] Specifically, the first conductive sleeve 471 is nested inside the first insulating sleeve 470, with its two ends directly abutting between adjacent anode electrolytic plates 450, allowing current to be transferred to the anode electrolytic plates 450 through the conductive sleeve. Simultaneously, the insulating sleeve prevents direct contact between the conductive post and the electrolytic plates. The second conductive sleeve 481 is nested inside the second insulating sleeve 480 in the same manner, ensuring current transmission between the cathode electrolytic plates 460. The conductive post passes through the interior of the conductive sleeve, forming an electrical connection with it, thereby achieving parallel conduction of multiple electrolytic plates while maintaining insulation.

[0082] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves a stable electrical connection between electrolytic plates, reduces energy loss caused by poor contact, and avoids the risk of short circuit between electrolytic plates and conductive posts through the nested structure of insulating sleeve and conductive sleeve, thus extending the service life of electrolytic assembly 400.

[0083] In some embodiments, the outer casing 410 may include a cylindrical body 411, a partition 412, a first end cap 413, and a second end cap 414. The cylindrical body 411 is hollow inside and has two open ends; the partition 412 is disposed inside the cylindrical body 411 and located between the two open ends; the first end cap 413 is detachably connected to one of the open ends, and together with the cylindrical body 411 and the partition 412, it forms an electrolysis chamber 4101, and a water passage hole is provided on the first end cap 413 or the cylindrical body 411; the second end cap 414 is detachably connected to the other open end, and together with the cylindrical body 411 and the partition 412, it forms a power supply chamber 4102.

[0084] The cylinder 411 is a hollow structural component, which can be made of stainless steel and has flanges at both ends to create an open end structure for easy end cap assembly. The partition 412 is a flat plate structure perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder 411, which can be injection molded and interference-fitted to the inner wall of the cylinder 411, used to isolate the electrolysis chamber 4101 from the power supply chamber 4102. The first end cap 413 is a sealing cap with a water passage hole, which can be fixed to the open end of the cylinder 411 using a threaded or snap-fit ​​connection to seal the electrolysis chamber 4101. The second end cap 414 is a sealing cap with a cable hole, which can use the same connection method as the first end cap 413, used to seal the power supply chamber 4102 and allow the power cable to be led out.

[0085] Specifically, the cylinder 411 is divided into two independent chambers by a partition 412. The electrolysis chamber 4101 houses the anode electrolytic plate 450 and the cathode electrolytic plate 460, while the power supply chamber 4102 houses the drive unit 420. The first end cover 413 and the cylinder 411 can be connected by threads or snap-fit ​​to form a detachable structure. When it is necessary to replace the electrolytic plates, only the first end cover 413 needs to be removed to directly remove the anode electrolytic plate 450 and the cathode electrolytic plate 460 for maintenance.

[0086] Multiple water passages can be provided. For example, multiple water passages may include a first water passage 4111 and a second water passage 4131. The first water passage 4111 is provided on the first end cap 413 to form a water inlet channel between the electrolysis chamber 4101 and the water collection tank 310. The second water passage 4131 is provided on the side wall of the cylinder 411, located between the partition plate 412 and the first end cap 413, to form a circulating water channel within the electrolysis chamber 4101. With this design, water can not only enter the electrolysis chamber 4101 through the water passage of the first end cap 413, but also form a circulating flow within the electrolysis chamber 4101, further improving electrolysis efficiency and water treatment effect.

[0087] The first conductive post 430 and the second conductive post 440 can be fixed inside the cylinder 411 in any manner. For example, two bolts can be used as the first conductive post 430 and the second conductive post 440, respectively. Two spaced-apart through holes are provided on the partition plate 412, and a first fixing nut 431 and a second fixing nut 441 are respectively inserted into the through holes. The first conductive post 430 and the second conductive post 440 are screwed into the first fixing nut 431 and the second fixing nut 441, respectively, to achieve a fixed connection. Moreover, during the connection process, the first conductive post 430 and the second conductive post 440 can simultaneously electrically connect multiple anode electrolytic plates 450 and cathode electrolytic plates 460 without the need for additional connectors or welding steps, simplifying the assembly process and facilitating subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0088] The ends of the first conductive post 430 and the second conductive post 440 can extend into the power supply cavity 4102, respectively. The driving member 420 can also have two spaced-apart through holes. The first conductive post 430 and the second conductive post 440 pass through the two through holes of the driving member 420, forming an electrical connection with the positive and negative contacts on the driving member 420, thereby supplying power to the electrolysis assembly 400. Furthermore, a first clamping nut 432 and a second clamping nut 442 can be provided, respectively connected to the ends of the first conductive post 430 and the second conductive post 440 located within the power supply cavity 4102, to further secure the electrical connection and prevent loosening. The first clamping nut 432 is tightened onto the end of the first conductive post 430, making tight contact with the positive contact on the driving member 420; the second clamping nut 442 is tightened onto the end of the second conductive post 440, forming a reliable connection with the negative contact.

[0089] In some embodiments, the housing 410 further includes at least one connecting buckle 415, which is connected to the cylinder 411. At least one connecting block 323 is provided on the support member 320, and the connecting buckle 415 and the connecting block 323 are engaged and connected.

[0090] The connecting buckle 415 refers to a mechanical fixing component located on the outside of the cylinder 411. It can be implemented using an elastic snap-fit ​​or a rotary snap-fit ​​structure. Its function is to achieve quick installation and disassembly of the electrolysis assembly 400 by engaging with the connecting block 323 on the water collection tank 310. The connecting block 323 refers to a mating structure located on the surface of the support member 320. It can be implemented using a groove, boss, or slot. Its function is to provide a positioning and fixing fulcrum for the connecting buckle 415, ensuring the connection stability between the electrolysis assembly 400 and the water collection tank 310.

[0091] Specifically, the connecting buckle 415 is connected to the cylinder 411 by injection molding or bolt fixing. When installing the electrolysis assembly 400, after inserting the cylinder 411 into the mounting hole 321 of the water collection tank 310, the connecting buckle 415 and the connecting block 323 are engaged by pressing or rotating. For example, when the connecting buckle 415 is an elastic buckle, its end is provided with a barb structure. During insertion into the mounting hole 321, the barb is deformed by pressure, and when it reaches the position of the connecting block 323, it elastically resets to complete the engagement. When the connecting buckle 415 is a rotary buckle, its end is provided with an L-shaped claw. Rotating the cylinder 411 causes the claw to embed into the slot of the connecting block 323. This structure avoids the tool operation required for traditional screw fixing and simplifies the disassembly and assembly process.

[0092] The above technical solution enables convenient installation and stable fixation of the electrolysis component 400, reducing the risk of water leakage or electrolysis failure due to loose connections. At the same time, it adapts to the connection requirements of different models of water collection tanks 310, improving the functional expandability of the dishwasher.

[0093] Reference Figure 9 In some embodiments, the spray assembly 500 may include a spray pipe 510 and a plurality of spray arms 520 disposed on the spray pipe 510. The spray arms 520 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the spray pipe 510 to uniformly spray water onto the surface of the object to be cleaned. Each spray arm 520 may be located on different sides of the holding assembly 200, for example, on the upper, lower, and back sides of the holding assembly 200, to cover the objects to be cleaned at different locations within the holding assembly 200. One end of the spray pipe 510 is connected to a water source, and the other end is closed, forming a water flow channel inside. The plurality of spray arms 520 are distributed circumferentially or axially along the spray pipe 510, and each spray arm 520 is provided with a plurality of small spray holes to achieve a fine and uniform distribution of the water flow. When water flows through the spray pipe 510 into the spray arm 520, it is sprayed out through the spray holes, forming a fine mist or water column that covers the surface of the object to be cleaned, thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0094] Reference Figure 10In some embodiments, the holding assembly 200 may include a dish basket 210 and a fruit and vegetable basket 220. The dish basket 210 is movably connected to the washing chamber 101 and is used to hold tableware. The fruit and vegetable basket 220 is detachably connected to the dish basket 210 and is used to hold fruits and vegetables.

[0095] The dish rack 210 is a movable container used to hold tableware. The dish rack 210 can be made of a mesh structure formed by combining metal wires, and its interior can be equipped with multiple tray teeth to fix and position the tableware. The bottom of the dish rack 210 can be connected by a sliding rail structure or a roller structure, so that it can be pushed and pulled freely within the washing chamber 101.

[0096] The fruit and vegetable basket 220 refers to an independent container for holding fruits and vegetables. The fruit and vegetable basket 220 can be made of one-piece injection molding plastic. The shape of the fruit and vegetable basket 220 matches the shape of the dishwashing basket 210, allowing it to be installed on top of the dishwashing basket 210. This enables users to place fruits and vegetables inside the fruit and vegetable basket 220 without interfering with the placement of fruits and vegetables directly on the trays inside the dishwashing basket 210. The fruit and vegetable basket 220 may have multiple filter holes for draining accumulated water and preventing fruits and vegetables from floating in the water during washing. After the fruit and vegetable basket 220 is installed on the dishwashing basket 210, a gap can be formed between its bottom and the top of the dishwashing basket 210. This gap serves as a drainage space for the fruit and vegetable basket 220, allowing accumulated water to drain smoothly. Simultaneously, the filter holes of the fruit and vegetable basket 220 can be evenly distributed on the bottom and side walls of the basket body to further accelerate the drainage process and prevent fruits and vegetables from being soaked in water for extended periods.

[0097] The detachable connection between the fruit and vegetable basket 220 and the dishwashing basket 210 can be achieved through snap-on connection, magnetic connection, or threaded connection. For example, handles 221 can be provided on both sides of the fruit and vegetable basket 220, and a hanging groove 2201 can be formed at the handles 221. The hanging groove 2201 can fit into the side frames of the dishwashing basket 210 to achieve quick installation and removal of the fruit and vegetable basket 220.

[0098] In actual use, users can choose to use the dishwashing basket 210 or the fruit and vegetable basket 220, or a combination of both, depending on their cleaning needs. When only dishes need to be washed, they can be placed directly into the dishwashing basket 210; when fruits and vegetables need to be washed, the fruit and vegetable basket 220 is installed on top of the dishwashing basket 210, and then the fruits and vegetables are placed inside. The assembled dishwashing basket 210 is then pushed along the track into the cleaning chamber 101, and the corresponding cleaning program is started according to the type of items to be cleaned.

[0099] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
