Electrically-controlled tee valve and washer with same

Abstract

The invention discloses an electrically-controlled tee valve comprising a valve body and a valve core. The valve body is provided with a cavity. The sidewall of the valve body is provided with a first valve opening, a second valve opening and a third valve opening all communicated with the cavity. The valve core is movably disposed within the cavity. At least one end, along the moving direction of the valve core, of the inside of the cavity is provided with an electric controller used for controlling motion of the valve core. By controlling the motion of the valve core, a passage between the first valve opening and the second valve opening or that between the first valve opening and the third valve opening can be selectively closed. A washer is characterized in that a water outlet of a drain pump is provided with the electrically-controlled tee valve; the first valve opening is connected to a water outlet of the drain pump; the second valve opening is connected to a circulating water pipe; the third valve opening is connected with a drain pipe. The electrically-controlled tee valve is simple in structure and convenient to control; by the application of the electrically-controlled tee valve in washers, circulation of washing water or selective control of sewage drainage is facilitated, and automation of the washers is further achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electric control, in particular to an electric control three-way valve and a washing machine using the electric control three-way valve. Background technique [0002] Washing machines have been widely used in households at present, but the existing washing machine structure and the use method of detergent all directly flush detergent or washing powder into the outer cylinder, and there is a drain pipe at the bottom of the outer cylinder. Before the detergent is completely dissolved, a large part of the detergent put in is washed into the drain pipe and cannot be used during the washing process. After the washing is completed, it will be directly discharged through the drain pump, resulting in waste of detergent. [0003] Chinese patent document CN201704552U discloses a kind of three-way drain valve for washing machine, such as figure 1 As shown, it includes a water inlet pipe 11 arranged above the valve body 10 an...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the above-mentioned patent documents, the three-way drain valve is inconvenient to be controlled manually, and it drains the water to be reused into the basin. When using it, it still needs to manually pour the water into the washing machine, which does not reduce the manual operation. There will be a small amount of impurities in the reused water, and direct repeated use will affect the washing effect
