Specifically, referring to fig. 3 and 4, in one embodiment, the through hole includes a first cleaning hole 120 and a second cleaning hole 130, the first cleaning hole 120 is disposed on a circumferential side wall of the receiving cavity 110, and the second cleaning hole 130 is disposed on a bottom wall of the receiving cavity 110. Thus, the first cleaning hole 120 is formed in the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 110, and the cleaning liquid entering along the first cleaning hole 120 can directly clean the bottom of the piece 30 to be cleaned; the second cleaning hole 130 is disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 110, and the cleaning liquid entering along the second cleaning hole 130 can directly clean the bottom of the object 30 to be cleaned. The cleaning liquid is introduced through the first cleaning holes 120 and the second cleaning holes 130 to clean the object 30 at multiple angles.

Further, referring to fig. 1 and 4, in one embodiment, the number of the second cleaning holes 130 is multiple, and all the second cleaning holes 130 are distributed in a mesh shape. Thus, the cleaning liquid entering the second cleaning holes 130 can improve the cleanliness of the cleaning object 30. In addition, set up a plurality of second cleaning holes 130 at the diapire of same holding cavity 110, the area of second cleaning holes 130 is less relatively, when the washing liquid that has pressure enters into along second cleaning holes 130, can treat that washing piece 30 possesses great impact, and then further promote and treat the abluent cleanliness factor of washing piece 30.

Referring to fig. 4, the second cleaning hole 130 is a square hole. The number of the second cleaning holes 130 is plural, and the plural second cleaning holes 130 are arranged crosswise to form a net structure.

Referring back to fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the number of the first cleaning holes 120 is at least two, and the at least two first cleaning holes 120 are spaced along the depth direction of the receiving cavity 110 or along the circumferential direction of the receiving member 100. Thus, the cleanliness of the cleaning object 30 can be improved by the at least two first cleaning holes 120 entering the cleaning liquid. In addition, set up two at least first cleaning holes 120 at the same circumferential wall of accomodating chamber 110, the area of single first cleaning hole 120 is less relatively, when the washing liquid that has pressure enters along first cleaning hole 120, can treat that washing piece 30 possesses great impact, and then further promote and treat the abluent cleanliness factor of washing piece 30.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the first cleaning holes 120 are elongated holes and extend along the circumferential direction of the receiving member 100, the number of the first cleaning holes 120 is 6, three of the first cleaning holes 120 are in one group, and each group of the first cleaning holes 120 is spaced along the depth direction of the receiving cavity 110. Two sets of first cleaning holes 120 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction of the container 100.

When treating the washing piece 30 and wasing, owing to treat that the mobilizable setting in storage chamber 110 of washing piece 30 needs the restriction to treat that washing piece 30 can not accomodate chamber 110 upset relatively to influence the cleaning performance when treating washing piece 30 upset. Based on this, referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, the width of the receiving cavity 110 is larger than the maximum width of the object 30 to be cleaned and smaller than the height of the object 30 to be cleaned. Thus, the member to be cleaned 30 can only move relative to the receiving cavity 110 and cannot rotate relative to the member to be cleaned 30.

Further, in one embodiment, the object placing support 10 further includes a rotating member (not shown), the rotating member is rotatably disposed in the accommodating cavity 110, the object 30 to be cleaned is disposed on the rotating member, and the rotating member drives the object 30 to be cleaned to rotate, so as to improve the cleanliness of the object 30 to be cleaned.

Alternatively, the rotating member may be a rotating platform, and is disposed in the receiving cavity 110 through a driving member such as a motor.

Referring to fig. 2, in order to limit the member to be cleaned 30 in the receiving cavity 110, in one embodiment, the receiving member 100 further includes a limiting cover 140, and the limiting cover 140 is disposed on an opening of the receiving cavity 110.

An alternative mounting between the bowl basket and the connector 200 will be described in detail with reference to the following embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the basket includes a basket rod (not shown) and a fixing member 20, the fixing member 20 is connected to the basket rod, and the fixing member 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 210. Wherein, the bowl basket generally comprises a transverse bowl basket rod (not shown) and a longitudinal bowl basket rod (not shown), and the transverse bowl basket rod and the longitudinal bowl basket rod are arranged in a crossed way. Optionally, in this embodiment, the basketball rod rotatably connected to the connecting member 200 is a longitudinal basketball rod. In other embodiments, the basketball goal post rotatably coupled to the coupling member 200 is a transverse basketball goal post. The installation mode of the transverse bowl basket rod and the longitudinal bowl basket rod is similar to that of the existing bowl basket, and redundant description is omitted here.
