When the second cleaning program is selected, the water separator 23 is in the second working mode, the inlet 231 of the water separator 23 is not communicated with the first outlet 232, and the inlet 231 is communicated with the second outlet 233, so that water flows to the spraying part 22 through the connecting water pipe 24 and is sprayed out, the water flows are sprayed out from the upper part of the sealing ring 10, the sealing ring 10 and the door body assembly 50 are sprayed from top to bottom, and most of areas are cleaned.

When the third cleaning program is selected, the water separator 23 is in the third operating mode, and the inlet 231 of the water separator 23 is respectively communicated with the first outlet 232 and the second outlet 233, so that the water flow is simultaneously ejected through the spray head 21 and the spray member 22, that is, the water flow is simultaneously ejected from the upper portion and the lower portion of the sealing ring 10, thereby improving the washing efficiency.

Specifically, water from a water source is divided into two paths of water flows with different water volumes through the water separator 23, one path of water is supplied to the spraying part 22 from the connecting water pipe 24, the water volume of the water flow is one third of the total water volume, and the water flow flows out from the upper part of the sealing ring 10 to wash most areas of the door body assembly 50 and the sealing ring 10; one path of water is supplied to the spray head 21 from the connecting water pipe 24, the water amount of the water is two thirds of the total water amount, the water flow sprays water from the middle of the bottom of the sealing ring 10, as shown in fig. 1, the water outlet area is a left and right arc-shaped sector, the length of the sector can cover the surface of the bottom of the sealing ring 10, which is easy to remain dirt or dust, and can impact the dirty position of the bottom of the door body assembly 50, so that the cleaning of the sealing ring 10 and the door body assembly 50 is realized, and the cleaning effect is good.

According to the clothes treatment device 200 provided by the embodiment of the invention, the two first water outlets 2102 with the guide inclined planes 211 are arranged on the spray head 21, so that each first water outlet 2102 is flared, when water flow is sprayed out, a fan-shaped spraying area can be sprayed out towards two opposite directions, the fan-shaped spraying area can cover a larger area at the bottom of the sealing ring 10, and thus the surface of the bottom of the sealing ring 10, on which dirt or dust is easily left, can be washed.

Under the effect of the transverse guide inclined plane 2111, the position of water flow spraying is higher, the water outlet area is large, the spraying distance is long, the water flow is not easily blocked by water reserved at the bottom of the sealing ring 10, and the cleaning effect is good.

Rivers can evenly flow from two first delivery ports 2102, and the water flow that two first delivery ports 2102 flow is the same with water velocity, and then also the same to sealing washer 10's clean effect, and sealing washer 10 can evenly be cleaned totally, avoids sealing washer 10's part to be cleaned totally earlier then cause the waste of rivers.

In addition, the impact force of rivers has been strengthened through direction inclined plane 211, has increased the washing dynamics to sealing washer 10 for sealing washer 10 can be by clean, has avoided going mildy and has bred the bacterium, is favorable to the cleanness and the user health of clothing, and user experience is good.
