Technical field:
[0001] The invention relates to a four-way structure with a common outlet for gas and liquid, belonging to the technical field of washing machines. Background technology:
[0002] The spray structure of drum washing machines currently on the market generally uses a water inlet pipe or detergent box to spray water onto the door glass through the door skin, while steam washing generally uses a heater in the drum to directly heat the steam or an external steam generator to generate steam that enters the washing machine drum through another pipe. Washing machines with spray and external steam structures generally have two pipes to allow water or gas to enter the drum. Summary of the invention:
[0003] The present invention aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art and provides a four-way structure with a common outlet for gas and liquid, so that the steam outlet pipe and the spray outlet pipe are combined into one pipe, thereby simplifying the structure.
[0004] The technical solutions adopted in the present invention include: a four-way structure with a common outlet for gas and liquid, comprising a front shell and a rear shell, the front shell comprising a flat first L-shaped main body and a steam inlet formed on the upper left of the first L-shaped main body, the rear shell comprising a second L-shaped main body, the second L-shaped main body is recessed to form a groove, the first L-shaped main body covers the upper part of the second L-shaped main body so that the steam inlet and the groove are connected, a water pipe is formed at the upper end of the second L-shaped main body, the left end of the water pipe serves as a water outlet, and the right end serves as a water inlet, the middle section of the water pipe is connected to the groove, a baffle section is formed in the groove below the middle section of the water pipe to block the water flowing into the water inlet and introduce it to the bottom of the groove, the lower end of the baffle section is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the second L-shaped main body, a common water vapor outlet is formed on the left side wall of the second L-shaped main body, and the common water vapor outlet is connected to the groove.
[0005] Furthermore, the baffle portion includes a first baffle located below the middle section of the water pipe and parallel to the water pipe, and a second baffle formed by bending and extending downward from the right end of the first baffle.
[0006] Furthermore, a water channel is formed between the second baffle and the right side wall of the second L-shaped main body.
[0007] Furthermore, a third baffle is formed in the groove below the common water vapor outlet, a left end of the third baffle is connected to the left side wall of the second L-shaped main body, and a right end is spaced apart from the second baffle.
[0008] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: the four-way structure of the gas and liquid common outlet of the present invention effectively solves the problem of steam and spray sharing one pipe, so that the original steam outlet pipe and spray outlet pipe are combined into one, simplifying the structure. Description of the drawings:
[0009] Figure 1 It is an overall schematic diagram of a four-way structure with a common outlet for gas and liquid according to the present invention.
[0010] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an explosion of a four-way structure with a common outlet for gas and liquid.
[0011] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the use principle of the four-way structure with a common outlet for gas and liquid of the present invention. Specific implementation method:
[0012] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0013] The four-way structure with a common outlet for gas and liquid of the present invention comprises a front shell 1 and a rear shell 2, wherein the front shell 1 comprises a flat first L-shaped main body 10 and a steam inlet 11 formed at the upper left of the first L-shaped main body 10, and the rear shell 2 comprises a second L-shaped main body 20, wherein the second L-shaped main body 20 is recessed to form a groove 23, and the first L-shaped main body 10 is just covered on the upper part of the second L-shaped main body 20 so that the steam inlet 11 and the groove 23 are interlinked. A water pipe is formed at the upper end of the second L-shaped main body 20, wherein the left end of the water pipe serves as a water outlet 21, the right end serves as a water inlet 22, and the middle section of the water pipe is interlinked with the groove 23. A first baffle 24 parallel to the water pipe is formed in the groove 23 below the middle section of the water pipe, and the right end of the first baffle 24 is bent downward and extended to form a second baffle 25 parallel to the right side wall of the second L-shaped main body 20. The lower end of the second baffle 25 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the second L-shaped main body 20. A water channel is formed between the second baffle plate 25 and the right side wall of the second L-shaped main body 20. A water vapor common outlet 26 is formed on the left side wall of the second L-shaped main body 20, wherein the water vapor common outlet 26 is connected to the groove 23. A third baffle plate 27 is formed in the groove 23 below the water vapor common outlet 26, and the left end of the third baffle plate 27 is connected to the left side wall of the second L-shaped main body 20, and the right end is spaced apart from the second baffle plate 25.
[0014] The use principle of the four-way structure with gas and liquid sharing the outlet of the present invention is as follows:
[0015] When the water is first used, water is first introduced through the water inlet 22 . At this time, liquid will exist at the bottom of the second L-shaped main body 20 below the third baffle 27 , and the liquid will seal the bottom of the water channel.
[0016] Afterwards use:
[0017] When water is inletted: water is inletted from the water inlet 22, and the water flow is divided into two paths, one path is discharged from the water outlet 21, and the other path is discharged from the water vapor common outlet 26 through the water diversion path.
[0018] When air is inhaled: air is inhaled from the air inlet 11 , and due to the presence of liquid at the bottom, the liquid seals the bottom of the water diversion path, so that the gas will not be discharged from the water diversion path, and can only be discharged from the water vapor common outlet 26 .
[0019] The four-way structure with a common outlet for gas and liquid in the present invention effectively solves the problem of steam and spray sharing one pipe, and combines the original steam outlet pipe and spray outlet pipe into one pipe, thus simplifying the structure.
[0020] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
