[0008] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the dishwashing apparatus includes a washing box, a drum 6, a washing arm 8, a first drive mechanism, and a second drive mechanism. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the washing box includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2. The box body 1 has a hollow structure with an opening at the upper part to form a water supply port 3. The box cover 2 is rotatably provided on the upper part of the box body 1 and is used for opening and closing the water supply port 3. A drain pipe 4 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1, and a drain valve 5 is attached to the drain pipe 4.

[0009] As shown in FIG. 3, the drum 6 is arranged horizontally and is rotatably provided in the box body 1. A plurality of mesh-shaped through holes are provided on the surface of the drum 6, and water flow can pass through the drum 6 to wash the tableware. As shown in FIG. 5, the drum 6 is further provided with an access port, and a removable drum door 7 is provided at the access port. One end of the drum door 7 is pivotally attached to the drum 6 via a hinge, and the other end is detachably connected to the drum 6 by a pin 10, which is convenient for the user to take the tableware in and out of the drum 6. Specifically, a first perforated mounting ear is provided at the other end of the drum door 7, a second perforated mounting ear is provided on the drum 6, and a thread is formed on the pin 10. By passing the pin 10 through the two perforated mounting ears and connecting it with a nut, the drum door 7 can be fixed.

[0010] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cleaning arm 8 is rotatably provided in the box body 1, and the two cleaning arms 8 are arranged on both axial sides of the drum 6. The two cleaning arms 8 are fixedly connected by a lateral cleaning blade 9, and the cleaning blade 9 is arranged outside the drum 6. The cleaning blade 9 propels the water flow by rotation to clean the tableware in the drum 6. Furthermore, the cleaning arm 8 extends in the radial direction of the drum 6, and cleaning blades 9 are respectively provided at both longitudinal ends of the cleaning arm 8, which can more efficiently propel the water flow.

[0011] The first drive mechanism is connected to the drum 6 and is used to rotationally drive the drum 6. The second drive mechanism is connected to the cleaning arm 8 and is used to rotationally drive the cleaning arm 8. That is, the drum 6 and the cleaning arm 8 rotate independently, can have different rotation speeds and rotation directions respectively, and do not interfere with each other. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, sleeve shafts 11 are respectively provided on the left and right cleaning arms 8, and mounting holes are provided on both left and right sides of the box body 1. The two sleeve shafts 11 are respectively inserted into the two mounting holes and are rotatably supported. Drum shafts 12 are provided at both axial ends of the drum 6, and these two drum shafts 12 are inserted corresponding to the two sleeve shafts 11 and are rotatably supported.

[0012] The first drive mechanism includes a first variable-speed motor 13, a first driving bevel gear 14, and a first driven bevel gear 15. One of the drum shafts 12 penetrates the corresponding sleeve shaft 11 outward and is coaxially fixed with the first driven bevel gear 15. The first variable-speed motor 13 is fixed to the side wall of the box body 1 and is coaxially fixed with the first driving bevel gear 14, and the first driving bevel gear 14 meshes with the first driven bevel gear 15. The second drive mechanism includes a second variable-speed motor 16, a second driving bevel gear 17, and a second driven bevel gear 18. One of the sleeve shafts 11 penetrates outward from the corresponding mounting hole and is coaxially fixed with the second driven bevel gear 18. The second variable-speed motor 16 is fixed to the side wall of the box body 1 and is coaxially fixed with the second driving bevel gear 17, and the second driving bevel gear 17 meshes with the second driven bevel gear 18. Therefore, when the first variable-speed motor 13 and the second variable-speed motor 16 operate, the drum 6 and the cleaning arm 8 can be rotationally driven through the transmission of the corresponding bevel gears. In addition, by adopting a variable-speed motor, the rotation speed can be adjusted according to the load, overoperation can be avoided, and energy conservation and cost reduction can be achieved.

[0013] When using this device to wash dishes, first open the box cover 2 and the drum door 7, put the dishes into the drum 6, then close the drum door 7, pour an appropriate amount of water into the box body 1 from the water inlet 3, and close the box cover 2. Subsequently, when the first variable-speed motor 13 and the second variable-speed motor 16 are started, the drum 6 and the cleaning arm 8 start to rotate, the water flow enters the inside through the mesh-shaped through holes of the drum 6, and the dishes are repeatedly washed. After the washing is completed, open the drain valve 5 to drain the water, open the box cover 2 and the drum door 7, and take out the washed dishes.

[0014] Since the drum 6 and the cleaning arm 8 rotate independently, it is possible to adjust the cleaning intensity of the water flow by adjusting the respective rotation speeds and directions. The rotation width and speed of the drum 6 can be adjusted according to the type of dishes to be washed. For example, when washing plastic, wooden, or metal dishes, the rotation width and speed of the drum 6 can be increased. When washing porcelain dishes, the rotation speed of the drum 6 can be suppressed and adjusted to a gentle operation mode of reciprocating rotation at a certain angle back and forth to prevent damage to the dishes. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, by providing a plurality of partition members 19 on the inner wall of the drum 6, the dishes can be partitioned and arranged, and the cleaning cleanliness can be improved. In addition, to ensure the cleaning effect, after adding an appropriate amount of water, a plurality of cleaning particles can be further added. The cleaning particles enhance the impact force and frictional force of the water flow, more effectively remove the dirt on the surface of the tableware, and improve the cleaning effect. The bottom of the box body 1 is designed as a semi-circular shape concentric with the center of the drum 6, which enables the water flow to flow smoothly within the box body 1 and improves the cleaning efficiency.

[0015] As is clear from the above, the tableware cleaning device according to the present utility model has a simple and compact structure, high cleaning efficiency, can effectively remove the dirt on the surface of the tableware, is easy to operate and occupies a small space, so it is suitable for use in a wide range of environments such as homes and restaurants.

[0016] Although some embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model, and such are protected within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
