The length direction of the container 1 is shown by an arrow a.

By means of the mounting groove 11 extending in the longitudinal direction of the container cavity 1, the cleaning brush 2 can be moved in the longitudinal direction, and cleaning of the entire bottom wall can be achieved.

In some possible implementation manners, the length direction of the containing cavity 1 is the same as the drawing direction of the detergent throwing device, and the outlet of the containing cavity 1 is positioned at one end of the containing cavity 1 along the length direction, so that the cleaning brush 2 can drive the detergent in the containing cavity 1 to one end of the containing cavity 1, so that the detergent is fully thrown into the washing drum, the utilization rate of the detergent is improved, and the waste of the detergent is avoided.

In some embodiments, as shown in connection with fig. 3, the mounting groove 11 has two ends of different heights, and the cleaning brush 2 can move along the mounting groove 11 from the upper end of the mounting groove 11 toward the lower end under the action of gravity.

Through designing the height difference that removes with the both ends of mounting groove 11 for cleaning brush 2 can utilize self gravity effect to remove, on the one hand can clean the inner wall of holding agent chamber 1 in the removal in-process, on the other hand can utilize gravity driven characteristic to realize cleaning brush 2's reduction, reduces the consumption of other power sources (e.g. rivers, motor etc.).

In some possible implementations, the cleaning brush 2 is driven by water flow and self gravity, and the water outlet pipeline is arranged at one end of the installation groove 11 with a lower height or is close to the end, and the cleaning brush 2 moves towards the other end of the installation groove 11 with a higher height by the impact force of the water flow; when the water outlet pipeline stops supplying water, the impact force of the water flow disappears, and the cleaning brush 2 moves back to one end with lower height from the other end with higher height under the action of the self weight.
