For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0057] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention discloses a washing machine, comprising a washing tub 1 and a filtering device 2 , wherein the bottom wall of the washing tub 1 is provided with a drainage portion 11 for draining water in the washing tub 1 , and the filtering device 2 is arranged on the drainage portion 11 of the washing tub 1 .
[0058] The present invention provides a filter device 2 at the drainage portion 11 of the inner bottom wall of the washing tub 1. When the washing machine drains, the washing water flows through the filter device 2. The filter device 2 can effectively filter out foreign matter in the washing water to prevent the foreign matter from entering the drainage system of the washing machine and affecting the normal operation of the washing machine.
[0059] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the washing tub 1 is recessed downward along the circumferential direction to form an annular groove 12 , the drainage portion 11 includes a drainage port arranged on the annular groove 12 , and the filtering device 2 is arranged on the annular groove 12 .
[0060] The bottom wall of the washing tub 1 is annular and is concave downward along the circumference to form an annular groove 12. The bottom of the annular groove 12 is provided with a plurality of drain ports to drain the washing water out of the washing machine when the washing machine is draining.
[0061] The filter device 2 is arranged on the annular groove 12, so that the filter device 2 can be located above the drain outlet to cover the drain outlet, so that when draining, the washing water is filtered by the filter device 2, and foreign matter in the washing water is directly collected in the washing tub 1, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering the drainage system of the washing machine and affecting the normal operation of the washing machine.
[0062] Furthermore, there may be multiple drainage openings provided on the annular groove 12, without any specific limitation herein, and the multiple drainage openings are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the annular groove 12 to ensure drainage effect.
[0063] The drain port may be disposed on the bottom wall of the annular groove 12 as long as the washing machine can be guaranteed to drain water normally.
[0064] Furthermore, the filter device 2 includes a filter element and a fixing element for installing the filter element, the fixing element is arranged on the annular groove 12, and the filter element is arranged on the installation opening 22 of the fixing element and corresponds to the drain port.
[0065] Specifically, the fixing member includes an annular mounting plate 21 matching the annular groove 12 , the annular mounting plate 21 is provided with the mounting opening 22 , and the filter element includes a filter screen 23 provided on the mounting opening 22 .
[0066] In the above technical solution of the present invention, the fixing member is an annular mounting plate 21, and a mounting opening 22 is provided on the annular mounting plate 21. There can be multiple mounting openings 22, and multiple mounting openings 22 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the annular mounting plate 21 so that the filter screen 23 corresponds to the drain port.
[0067] During the drainage process of the washing machine, the washing water flows through the filter 23, foreign matter in the washing water will remain on the filter 23, and the filtered washing water will flow into the drain pipe of the washing machine and then be discharged from the washing machine. In addition, the filter 23 and the annular mounting plate 21 can be integrally injection molded, which is convenient for processing and production.
[0068] The annular groove 12 is provided with a support platform 123 for supporting the annular mounting plate 21. The support platforms 123 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the annular groove 12, and the drain port is located between two adjacent support platforms 123. Preferably, the height of the support platform 123 is lower than the height of the annular groove 12.
[0069] In the above technical solution of the present invention, the support platform 123 is a protrusion arranged in the annular groove 12, and the height of the support platform 123 is lower than the height of the annular groove 12. When the annular mounting plate 21 is arranged in the annular groove 12, the upper surface of the annular mounting plate 21 is flush with the notch position of the annular groove 12, or slightly lower than the notch position of the annular groove 12, so that it is convenient to collect washing water at the filter device 2, so that foreign matter remains on the filter net 23.
[0070] In order to facilitate the cleaning of the filter device 2 , the filter device 2 is detachably arranged on the annular groove 12 on the bottom wall of the washing tub 1 through a connecting structure.
[0071] In this way, the user can easily disassemble the filter device 2 for cleaning. The filter device 2 can not only filter the washing water, so that foreign matter in the washing water is directly collected in the washing tub 1, and prevent the foreign matter in the washing water from entering the drainage system and destroying its normal function, but also can be cleaned by itself as needed, avoiding the adverse consequences caused by the accumulation of lint and mildew, and the operation is convenient.
[0072] The connection structure includes a clamping portion disposed below the annular mounting plate 21 and a matching portion disposed in the annular groove 12 and matching with the clamping portion. The clamping portion is engaged with / disengaged from the matching portion by rotating the annular mounting plate 21 .
[0073] More specifically, the clamping portion is a hook 211 arranged below the annular mounting plate 21, and the matching portion is a clamping column 121 arranged on the groove wall of the annular groove 12. The clamping column 121 is at a certain distance from the groove bottom of the annular groove 12. When the annular mounting plate 21 is placed in the annular groove 12, the annular mounting plate 21 is rotated, and the hook 211 is driven to rotate at the same time, so that the hook 211 is clamped on the clamping column 121.
[0074] In addition, a limiting structure is also arranged between the filter device 2 and the annular groove 12, and the limiting structure includes a limiting protrusion 212 arranged on the annular mounting plate 21 and a limiting recess 122 arranged on the groove wall of the annular groove 12 and matching the limiting protrusion 212. Through the cooperation between the limiting protrusion 212 and the limiting recess 122, the hook 211 can be prevented from being separated from the clamping column 121 during the rotation of the annular mounting plate 21, and the filter device 2 can be prevented from being separated from the washing bucket 1.
[0075] During the drainage stage of the washing machine, the washing water in the washing tub 1 can be filtered through the filter device 2 and then discharged from the washing machine drain pipe. The filtered washing water will not block the drainage system and affect normal use.
[0076] like Figure 4-11 As shown, the washing machine also includes a pulsator 3 and a motor shaft 5 connected to the pulsator 3. The pulsator 3 is connected to the bottom of the washing tub 1. The motor shaft 5 is used to drive the pulsator 3 to rotate, so that the laundry in the washing tub 1 can be turned over and washed.
[0077] The impeller 3 is arranged on the drainage part 11, and the filter device 2 is located below the impeller 3, that is, the filter device 2 is arranged between the drainage port on the bottom wall of the washing tub 1 and the impeller 3, so that the filter device 2 will not contact the laundry, thereby not causing wear to the laundry and avoiding the generation of lint.
[0078] Furthermore, the impeller 3 is detachably connected to the motor shaft 5 located inside the washing tub 1 through the locking device 4 .
[0079] Since the filter device 2 is detachably arranged on the annular groove 12 and is located below the impeller 3 in the washing tub 1, in order to smoothly remove the removed filter device 2 from the washing tub 1, the impeller 3 is detachably connected to the motor shaft 5 located in the washing tub 1. After the impeller 3 is removed from the motor shaft 5, the filter device 2 can be taken out of the washing tub 1 for cleaning.
[0080] like Figure 5-11As shown, the locking device 4 is located inside the impeller 3 , and the locking device 4 is sleeved on the motor shaft 5 in the washing tub 1 so as to detachably set the impeller 3 on the motor shaft 5 .
