Vent structure, washing machine and control method

Abstract

The invention discloses a vent structure, a washing machine and a control method, and relates to the technical field of washing machines. The vent structure comprises a vent and a rotating body, wherein the vent is formed in a to-be-vented device and communicated with a chamber in the to-be-vented device; the rotating body is rotationally arranged at the vent, and a first connecting hole is formedin the rotating body in the radial direction in a penetrating manner and can be selectively communicated with the vent. According to the vent structure, the vent can be blocked or the connecting holein the rotating body can be communicated with the vent through rotation of the rotating body, so that the vent is selectively opened or closed; when the washing machine is in a washing state, the rotating body blocks the vent to prevent heat or washing water from being sprayed out of the vent, so that heat loss is prevented and burning of users is avoided; after washing of the washing machine iscompleted, the rotating body rotates to enable the connecting hole to be communicated with the vent, the inside and outside of the washing machine are communicated, moisture is discharged from the vent, and accordingly, mildew and peculiar smell of the washing machine or clothes in the washing machine are prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of washing machines, in particular to an air vent structure, a washing machine and a control method. Background technique [0002] A washing machine is a cleaning appliance that uses electrical energy to generate mechanical action to wash clothes. Among them, a household washing machine is mainly composed of a cabinet, a washing and dehydrating bucket, a transmission and a control system, etc. It generally refers to using water as the main cleaning liquid, which is different from using a special washing machine. Cleaning solutions, and dry cleaning, usually by a professional. [0003] In order to prevent the user from being unable to take out the clothes in the washing machine in time after the washing program is completed, avoid the clothes being in a sealed environment for a long time and cause mildew or odor, or avoid the moisture in the washing machine from being unable to be removed and air-dried after ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Since some washing machines have a heating function during the washing process, setting a vent directly on the front end of the washing machine will not only cause the hot water steam inside the washing machine to be ejected from the vent during the washing process, which will easily burn the user and cause heat loss. , affect the effect of hot washing
