- the guide surface 57 is formed in an annular shape around the rotation center axis o of the rotary drum 4. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the guide surface 57 through which the washing water sprayed from the discharge port 55d2 passes is angled from the rotation center o of the rotary drum 4 even if the cross-sectional shape of the guide surface 57 with respect to the rotation center axis is the same. Since it becomes so gentle that it becomes easy to expand in the circumferential direction, it is possible to realize injection with a large expansion angle.

Therefore, when the washing water flowing along the water conduit 55b collides with the rib 66, the longitudinal velocity component of the water conduit 55b discharged from the discharge port 55d is suppressed. As a result, it is possible to discharge at a predetermined angle in the direction opened from the discharge port 55d, and it is possible to realize stable injection with a predetermined large divergence angle.
