A kind of washing machine and washing method

Abstract

The invention relates to a washing machine and a washing method. The washing machine comprises an outer barrel, an inner barrel and solid particles as washing medium. The outer barrel surrounds the inner side of the inner barrel, and the inner barrel is driven to rotate through a driving device. the washing machine is characterized in that the outer barrel is divided into an upper portion and a lower portion which are detachable, and the upper portion and the lower portion of the outer barrel are in seal fit with each other in a washing process, and are separated from each other when the particles are separated and recovered. Throwing-in and recovering of the particles are achieved by utilizing the ascending and the descending of the lower portion of the outer barrel, a particle throwing-in process and related components of the throwing-in of the particles in the prior art are removed, a storage box arranged in the washing machine in the prior art is removed, and not only is the process of the separating and the recovering of the particles simplified, but also the integral structure of the washing machine is simplified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a washing machine, in particular to a washing machine and a washing method using washing particles to participate in washing, and belongs to the technical field of washing machines. Background technique [0002] The washing method of the traditional washing machine is to use water as the washing medium, add water and detergent to the washing machine for washing, use the dehydration function to discharge the sewage in the washing machine after washing, and then re-add clean water to continue the washing or rinsing process. Drain the water after all the washing is completed. This method simply drains the water and refills it with clean washing water, which consumes a lot of water. At the same time, the washing liquid also contains more chemical substances harmful to the environment, and each washing process takes a long time and consumes a lot of power. [0003] Aiming at the shortcomings of the traditional washing machine, a w...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Washing machines using this particle washing method generally have a storage space for particles in the washing machine. The storage space generally adopts the structure of a storage box, and an inlet hole and a discharge hole are arranged on the outer cylinder. Before washing, the particles are removed from the feed The holes are put into the outer cylinder. After washing, the particles are completely recovered into the storage space of the particles. When the particles are recovered, the inner cylinder needs to be rotated at a high speed, and the particles are thrown into the storage space by centrifugal force. For dehydration, it is necessary to add and recover particles again. The structure and washing process of the washing machine are relatively complicated.
