The overflow groove 41 is provided on the base 1 of the dishwasher, and the top of the overflow groove 41 is higher than the highest water level of the cup 3 of the dishwasher. One end of the communication pipe 42 is communicated with the overflow tank 41 and the other end is communicated with the cup 3 of the dishwasher. The probe structure is arranged on the wall of the overflow tank 41, and when the water in the overflow tank 41 rises to be in contact with the probe structure, the probe structure is communicated with a controller of the dish washing machine to form a loop.
According to the water overflow preventing structure of the dish washing machine, the overflow groove 41 is arranged on the base 1, the communicating pipe 42 is arranged to communicate the overflow groove 41 with the water cup 3, so that when the water level in the water cup 3 rises according to the principle of a communicating vessel, the water level in the overflow groove 41 also rises synchronously, and then the probe structure is adopted to detect the water level in the overflow groove 41, so that the actual water level in the water cup 3 can be accurately detected. Specifically, when the water in the overflow groove 41 rises to be in contact with the probe structure, the probe structure is communicated, so that the probe structure is communicated with the controller to form a loop, the controller obtains a signal overflow signal, and then instructs the dishwasher to stop water inflow, and/or pump out the water in the water cup 3, and/or gives an alarm, so that the overflow problem of the dishwasher is automatically detected and solved.
