The rotating tub 9 has a third cavity 91. The opening direction of the third cavity 91 is the same as the opening direction of the second cavity 51, and a certain gap is formed between the outer side of the barrel wall of the rotary barrel 9 and the inner wall of the second cavity 51. When the power element (such as a motor and the like) drives the rotary barrel 9 to rotate, the rotary barrel 9 generates a rotary force to the cleaning liquid in the rotary barrel, and the cleaning liquid can be stirred, so that the flexible bowl 200 can be cleaned; after the flexible bowl 200 is washed, the rotary barrel 9 can apply a centrifugal force to the flexible bowl 200, so that the flexible bowl clings to the inner wall of the rotary barrel and generates an extrusion effect, and meanwhile, the wiping component 3 rotates along with the rotary barrel 9, so that the cleaning liquid remained on the cleaned flexible bowl 200 is better drained, the drying speed of the flexible bowl 200 is accelerated, and the cleanliness of the flexible bowl 200 is further ensured.

The impeller 40 is provided at the bottom of the rotary tub 9. The impeller 40 is driven to rotate by a power element such as a motor, and in particular, the impeller 40 rotates about its geometric center line.

The wiping assembly 3 is arranged in the rotary tub 9. Part of the wiping element is attached to the inner wall of the rotatable tub 9 by means of a rigid member, such as a screw. Part of the wiping element is attached to the inner wall of the rotatable tub 9 by means of a flexible member 8, such as a rope, a belt or the like, which has a certain flexibility. A plurality of wiping members 3 are distributed at different heights of the rotatable tub 9, i.e. the wiping members 3 are layered in the third cavity 91.

During cleaning, the wiping component 3 rotates along with the rotary barrel 9, so that a circumferential force for wiping the flexible bowl 200 is increased, and the cleaning effect is better. When the cleaning component 3 and the flexible bowl 200 are dried, a speed difference exists, and at the moment, the cleaning component 3 can better clean the residual cleaning liquid on the flexible bowl 200, so that the drying efficiency is greatly improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, as an example, a water inlet pipe 6 is provided at a gap between the water storage tub 5 and the rotary tub 9, and a water outlet pipe 7 is provided at a bottom of the water storage tub 5.

Similar to the second embodiment, the dishwasher of the second embodiment may also be provided with a cover to which a wiper assembly may be attached to clean and wipe the flexible bowl 200. For these matters, reference is made to the description of the first embodiment. That is, in various embodiments, the wiper assembly may be connected to the water storage tub, the rotating tub, and/or the cover, depending on the design.

The detailed construction of the dishwasher is described above by way of example, while a different dishwashing method is also provided. In the method, the stirring component 4 is used for stirring the cleaning liquid in the water storage barrel 5 to generate fluid motion so as to drive the flexible bowl 200 to be cleaned which is placed in the water storage barrel 5 to do rolling motion on one hand and rotary motion along the inner wall of the water storage barrel 5 on the other hand; meanwhile, the wiping assembly 3 wipes the flexible bowl 200 to be cleaned, so that the cleaning effect of cleaning the flexible bowl 200 is greatly improved. Alternatively, the cleaning method is particularly suited for cleaning flexible dishes 200 that are turned outside (see fig. 8 and 9), where the rim 204 of the bowl is closed from the outside to the bottom 203 of the flexible bowl, and where the outer wall 202 of the flexible bowl 200 is closed inwardly, such that the flexible bowl 200 is in a turned-over state with the inner wall 201 (i.e., the side that is in contact with food) turned outside. The inner wall 201 of the flexible bowl 200 is more conveniently wiped in contact with the wiping assembly 3 in the everted state. In this way, the wiping assembly 3 is more convenient for cleaning dirt remaining on the inner wall of the flexible dishes 200.
