Benefits of technology

[0006]A main purpose of the present invention is to solve the aforesaid problems and shortcomings by providing a washing machine that can simplify the washing procedure and meet the washing effect with no need to add and recycle particles.
[0007]Another main purpose of the present invention is to provide a washing method that can simplify the washing procedure and meet the washing effect.
[0030]In summary, the washing machine and the washing method thereof in the present invention are of simple structure. The present invention, depending on the washing medium layer arranged on the washing tub, is to handle the dirt on the clothes and in the washing water, to achieve the purpose of washing, without particles putting, recycling as well as self-cleaning steps and devices. Thus not only simplifies the washing procedure like other ordinary washing machines, but also greatly reduces the material cost and the manufacturing cost. In addition, the wearing to clothes is less serious during washing.

Problems solved by technology

In this method, the water is simply discharged and then the clean water is refilled, thus causes large water consumption.
Meanwhile, lots of chemical substances which are harmful to the environment are contained in the washing liquid and the washing process is time-consuming, with large power consumption each time.
Due to the high toxicity of the organic solvent and the relatively low safety factor of medium recovery by distillation, it is not suitable for household use.
The method demands not only a highly airtight structure, but also a high pressure for liquefying gas, which requires a high-pressure installation, so it is of low safety factor and complex process.
During the washing, the friction between the particles and the clothes can cause the clothes to wear to a certain degree.
If particles are needed to dehydrate, the particles are required to be put and recycled again, which cause a complex washing process.
And the inner structure of the washing machine needs to be improved vastly accordingly, thereby the material and manufacturing costs are required to increase greatly.

embodiment 1

[0041]In the embodiment, the medium layer 3 may be coated on the inner surface of the inner tub 2 via coating technique, or fixedly installed on the wall of the inner tub 2 by fasteners, such as screw. As same with the inner tub 2, the medium layer 3 is provided with a plurality of through-holes (not shown in figure) with round, rectangle or polygon etc. in shape, as the same as the shape of the first opening hole 4 shown in FIG. 2, for the washing water flowing through. The water flows in the tub via the through-holes during washing; the washing water is discharged into the outer tub 1 when dehydration, and finally the water is discharged from the water outlet at the bottom of the outer tub 1. If the medium layer 3 is arranged on the wall of the outer tub 1, the medium layer 3 is not arranged with the through-holes for the water flowing through.

[0042]The medium layer 3 may be coated or installed on the overall wall of the inner tub 2, or coated or installed on a part of the wall of...

embodiment 2

[0055]In an old-fashioned double cylinder washing machine, the washing tub for washing is of single-tub structure, in which a rotating water flow is formed by the pulsator rotating clockwise and anticlockwise alternately during washing. The dirt on the clothes5 is removed by the washing water. In this washing machine, a polymer washing medium layer 3, which is not arranged with through-holes for the water flowing through, may be coated on the inner surface and / or the outer surface of the wall of the washing tub. The structure of the medium layer 3 is as the same as that in Embodiment 1, so it is not described additionally hereby.

[0056]In this washing machine, on account of that the dehydration of the clothes 5 being accomplished in another spin dryer tub, therefore, the medium layer 3 has no the process of dehydration. The method of adding hot wind in the tub may be adopted.

embodiment 3

[0057]As shown in FIG. 3, the difference from the Embodiment 1 is that, the medium layer 3 arranged on the inner surface of the inner tub 2 is an interlayer containing solid polymer particles 8 in the middle and being fixed on the wall of the inner tub 2 An interlayer wall 9 is arranged with through-holes (not shown in figure) for the washing water flowing through. The medium layer 3 is fixed on the wall of the inner tub 2 by the fasteners, such as screw, to ensure that the medium layer 3 rotates with the inner tub 2.

[0058]To avoid the particles 8 leaking out of the inner tub 2 and the medium layer 3, the diameter of the first opening hole 4 on the inner tub 2 and the through-holes on the medium layer 3 are less than the minimum diameter of the particles 8. The diameter of the particles 8 is generally 2-4 mm; therefore, the diameter of the first opening hole 4 and the through-holes are less than 2 mm. Preferably the diameter of the first opening hole 4 and the through-holes is 1-1.5...

Abstract

A washing machine and a washing method thereof comprises at least one washing tub for washing or containing water, and the tub is arranged with a washing medium layer which is a polymer adsorption layer. The present invention, depending on the washing medium layer arranged on the washing tub, is to handle the dirt on the clothes and in the washing water, to achieve the purpose of washing, which not only simplifies the washing procedure like other ordinary washing machines, but also greatly reduces the material cost and the manufacturing cost. In addition, the wearing to clothes is less serious during washing.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention refers to a washing machine, in particular to a washing machine using polymer adsorption materials for washing as well as the washing method thereof. The present invention belongs to the field of washing machine technology.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In the washing method of a traditional washing machine, the washing medium is water, adding water and detergents into the washing machine for washing; after washing, discharging the sewage from the washing machine via dewatering function, and then adding clean water again for continuing the washing or rinsing process, finally discharging water after the washing is entirely finished. In this method, the water is simply discharged and then the clean water is refilled, thus causes large water consumption. Meanwhile, lots of chemical substances which are harmful to the environment are contained in the washing liquid and the washing process is time-consuming, with large power consumption...
