The electric drive part 14 is used for driving the wire drawing 154 and the connecting rod assembly 16 to move so as to move the bowl basket 11 and the guide rail assembly 12 up and down. Thus, the bowl basket 11 is vertically movable by the electric driving unit 14. And, the electric driving part 14 is connected with the connecting rod assembly 16 through the wire drawing 154, so that when the bowl and basket assembly 10 is applied to the washing appliance 100, since the space occupied by the wire drawing 154 can be flexibly configured, the installation space of the electric driving part 14 is less limited, and the installation efficiency is further improved.

In the present embodiment, the washing appliance 100 includes a base 60. The chamber 20 is mounted to the base 60. The electric drive unit 14 is mounted in the base 60. This makes it possible to fully utilize the installation space in the base 60, and thus to make the washing appliance 100 compact.

In certain embodiments, the lifting device 13 comprises an adjustment device 15. The adjusting device 15 includes a fixing portion 151, an adjusting portion 152, and a moving portion 153. The position of the fixing portion 151 is fixed. The moving unit 153 is attached to the fixed unit 151 and is movable relative to the fixed unit 151. The adjustment unit 152 is attached to the fixed unit 151 and connected to the moving unit 153. The adjusting portion 152 can drive the moving portion 153 to move back and forth relative to the fixing portion 151. The wire 154 is slidably connected to the moving portion 153. The adjusting device 15 is configured to move the first bowl basket 11 and the rail assembly 12 up and down by the adjusting portion 152 moving forward and backward with respect to the fixing portion 151 to adjust the position where the moving portion 153 and the wire 154 are in sliding contact.

In this way, the first bowl basket 11 can be moved up and down by the adjusting device 15 in the event of a malfunction of the electric drive 14. When the user puts into first bowl basket 11 or takes out the tableware from first bowl basket 11 with the tableware at needs, first bowl basket 11 can follow guide rail assembly 12 and slide earlier the back and shift out the unoccupied position in space above, upwards moves to the position of being convenient for user operation again for it is more convenient that the user puts into and takes out the tableware, promotes user experience.
