Washing machine and method for controlling detergent drawer thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a washing machine and a detergent drawer control method thereof. The washing machine comprises a drawer support (1). A detergent drawer (2) capable of being pulled in a sliding mode is installed in a sliding groove of the drawer support, magnets are installed at the front end and / or the rear end of the detergent drawer in the sliding pulling direction of the detergent drawer, and an electromagnet (5) are fixedly installed on the drawer support. In the washing machine, in a power-on state, the electromagnet can achieve automatic opening or closing of the detergent drawer through magnetic force between the electromagnet and the magnets installed at the front end / or the rear end of the detergent drawer, the situation that the opening and closing structure of the detergent drawer is cracked or even broken due to mechanical fatigue after being used multiple times can be effectively avoided, therefore, the probability that the detergent drawer fails due to the fact that the detergent drawer cannot be opened or closed is reduced, and the use experience of a user on the washing machine is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a washing machine and a method for controlling a detergent drawer thereof. Background technique [0002] Along with the raising of people's living standard, washing machine has been a kind of comparatively general household appliance, has brought very big convenience to people's life. Before using the washing machine to wash the clothes, it is necessary to extract the detergent drawer from the drawer bracket in the washing machine, put detergent into it, then move the detergent drawer into the drawer bracket, and then start washing the clothes. [0003] At present, manual mechanical methods such as elastic or locks are mostly used in the market to open and close the detergent drawer, but the mechanical detergent drawer opening and closing structure is prone to mechanical fatigue after a certain number of cycles Cracks or even sudden fractures occur in the opening ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, manual mechanical methods such as elastic or locks are mostly used in the market to open and close the detergent drawer, but the mechanical detergent drawer opening and closing structure is prone to mechanical fatigue after a certain number of cycles Cracks or even sudden fractures occur in the opening and closing structure, and then the detergent drawer fails because it cannot be opened or closed again, which brings great inconvenience to the user's operation.
