Drain valve plug and washing machine

Abstract

The invention introduces a drain valve plug which comprises a valve plug casing, wherein a rubber valve plug core capable of axially telescopically moving is installed in the valve plug casing, a pressure sensor is installed at the telescopic end of the rubber valve plug core, and the pressure sensor detects water pressure at the telescopic end of the rubber valve plug core. The invention furtherintroduces a washing machine comprising an outer barrel and an inner barrel sleeved with the outer barrel, the bottom of the inner barrel is provided with a water outlet, any one of the drain valve plugs described as above is mounted on the outer barrel, the valve plug casing is mounted on the outer barrel of the washing machine, and the rubber valve plug core capable of axially telescopically moving is installed in the valve plug casing, to control the rubber valve plug core to correspondingly close the water outlet disposed at the bottom of the inner barrel. The pressure sensor disposed at the telescopic end of the rubber valve plug core extends into the inner barrel, to detect the washing water pressure in the inner barrel, thereby obtaining washing water level in the inner barrel of the washing machine and achieving accurate detection of the water level in the inner barrel. At the same time, the drain valve plug has simple structure and remarkable effect, and is suitable for popularization and use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of non-porous washing machine equipment, and in particular relates to a valve plug with a pressure sensor, and also relates to a washing machine equipped with the above-mentioned drain valve plug. Background technique [0002] At present, in order to save water resources, more and more washing machines adopt the method of non-porous inner tub. When washing, there is no water between the inner tub and the outer tub. The inner tub is a washing tub, and the outer tub is a drainage tub. Some non-porous inner tub pulsator washing machines, due to structural limitations, water level detection is difficult to achieve. [0003] For example, the technical solution adopted by the applicant before: a washing machine, the inner bucket is an integral water storage bucket, the outer bucket is a drain bucket, a water storage cavity is formed between the inner bucket, the outer bucket and the deceleration clutch, and the in...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004]However, the above-mentioned water level detection structure is relatively complicated, and the assembly process is relatively cumbersome, and it is prone to air leakage between the detection pipeline and the air chamber, as well as between the detection pipeline and the sensor

As a result, the accuracy of detection is affected, causing the failure of the whole machine, and the complex structure also leads to high costs
