AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0002] Existing drum washing machines are generally equipped with counterweights to maintain the balance of the inner cylinder when rotating. The internal structure of the washing machine is relatively compact, and the counterweights need to occupy a certain space, and the counterweights are generally metal castings. In addition to playing the role of counterweight, it can no longer provide other uses for the washing machine, thus making the internal space utilization of the washing machine low

Embodiment 1

[0015] refer to figure 1 , the present embodiment provides a washing machine, which includes an inner tub 101 and at least two water storage devices arranged outside the inner tub for maintaining the balance of the inner tub.

[0016] The at least two water storage devices can keep the balance of the inner cylinder of the washing machine while rotating on the one hand, and store water on the other hand.

[0017] In the washing machine provided in this embodiment, at least two water storage devices for maintaining the balance of the inner drum are arranged outside the inner drum, replacing the traditional counterweight, and effectively improving the space utilization rate inside the washing machine.

[0018] In this embodiment, two water storage devices are used for illustration, refer to figure 1 , the two water storage devices are the first water storage device 102 and the second water storage device 103 respectively.

[0019] As an optional implementation, the first water ...

Embodiment 2

[0043] refer to figure 2 , this embodiment provides a washing machine control method for controlling the washing machine described in the above embodiment, including:

[0044] Step S201, detecting whether there is a hot water output control command;

[0045] Step S202, if yes, control the first water storage device to output hot water to the inner tub or outside of the washing machine according to the hot water output control instruction, and control the second water storage device when the water temperature in the first water storage device is lower than a preset threshold The water storage device outputs hot water to the inner drum or the outside of the washing machine.

[0046] Please refer to the above-mentioned embodiments for the specific structure of the washing machine, and details are not repeated here.

[0047] For the situation that there is no hot water output control command, this embodiment does not limit it. As an optional implementation, for example, it may co...

Abstract

The invention provides a washing machine and a control method thereof. The washing machine comprises an inner cylinder and further comprises at least two water storage devices arranged outside the inner cylinder and used for keeping balance of the inner cylinder. Due to the fact that the water storage devices arranged outside the inner cylinder are used for keeping balance of the inner cylinder in the rotating process, and traditional balancing weights are replaced by the water storage devices, the utilization rate of the inner space of the washing machine can be effectively increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of washing machines, in particular to a washing machine and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Existing drum washing machines are generally equipped with counterweights to maintain the balance of the inner cylinder when rotating. The internal structure of the washing machine is relatively compact, and the counterweights need to occupy a certain space, and the counterweights are generally metal castings. In addition to playing the role of counterweight, the washing machine cannot be used for other purposes, thus making the utilization rate of the inner space of the washing machine low. Contents of the invention [0003] A brief overview of the invention is given below in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the invention. It should be understood that this summary is not an exhaustive overview of the invention. It is not intended to identify key or critical parts o...
