Embodiments of the present application provide a
laundry treating apparatus including a tub
assembly and a circulation
system. The tub
assembly is provided with a
laundry treating cavity and a drain opening communicating with the
laundry treating cavity. The circulation
system includes a drain pump having a first outlet and a water inlet, a drain passage communicating the drain opening with the water inlet, and a first passage having a water inlet end communicating with the first outlet and a water outlet end facing the drain passage. During the process of the drain pump pumping water into the first passage, the water in the first passage flows at a high speed, and the water flowing out of the water outlet end of the first passage has a
flow interference effect on the water and the detergent in the drain passage, which is conducive to promoting the
dissolution of the detergent in the drain passage. Since the drain passage communicates with the laundry treating cavity through the drain opening, the dissolved detergent will enter the laundry treating cavity along with the water through the drain opening to clean the laundry, thereby helping to improve the cleaning ratio.
