The invention discloses a sterilizing, disinfecting and
mildew-proof
barrel-cleaning washing
machine which comprises a shell, wherein an external water-storing
barrel and an internal washing
barrel are arranged in the shell; a water inlet box, a draining valve, a
clutch, a program controller and a power supply part are arranged in the shell; a water
inlet valve is arranged on the water inlet box; an
ozone generating device is mounted on the water inlet box; an air outlet end of the
ozone generating device is communicated with the bottom of a side wall of the external barrel through an
ozone pipeline; the ozone generating device is connected with the program controller and the power supply part; and the draining valve and the
clutch are respectively arranged and are respectively controlled by the program controller. The invention also discloses a barrel-cleaning control method of the washing
machine. The sterilizing, disinfecting and
mildew-proof barrel-cleaning washing
machine is simple in structure and convenient in use; the internal barrel, the external barrel, the space between the internal and external barrels and the space under an
impeller are cleaned and are sterilized and disinfected by using ozone; when water is discharged, the
impeller is started to rotate positively and negatively by the washing machine so as to prevent line scraps and
dirt in water from depositing at the bottom of the external barrel and internal barrel and on the
impeller; the discharging of the line scraps and
dirt is ensured; and the barrel-cleaning function is achieved.
