[0036] Combine Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a washing machine, comprising a main inner drum 10, a main cover body 11, a window inner drum 12 and a shaft seat 13. The main inner drum 10 defines a first washing chamber 101 and is provided with a main clothing loading and unloading port 102 communicated with the first washing chamber 101; the main cover body 11 can be opened and closed to cover the main clothing loading and unloading port 102, and defines a second washing chamber 111; the window inner drum 12 is rotatably arranged in the second washing chamber 111 and is detachably connected to the second washing chamber 111.

[0037] The washing machine provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with a main inner drum 10, a main cover body 11 and a window inner drum 12. The main inner drum 10 defines a first washing chamber 101 and is provided with a main clothing loading and unloading port 102 connected to the first washing chamber 101. The first washing chamber 101 can be used to wash large outerwear clothing; the main cover body 11 can be opened and closed to cover the main clothing loading and unloading port 102, and defines a second washing chamber 111. The window inner drum 12 is located in the second washing chamber 111. The window inner drum 12 can be used to wash small underwear, infant clothing and other close-fitting clothing. One washing machine can meet people's two cleaning needs; the window inner drum 12 is rotatably arranged in the second washing chamber 111 and is detachably connected to the second washing chamber 111. When the outer wall of the window inner drum 12 and the inner wall of the second washing chamber 111 are stained, the window inner drum 12 can be removed for cleaning, which is convenient and quick.

[0038] The washing machine in the present application may be a drum washing machine, but is not limited to a drum washing machine, and other types of washing machines may also be used.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the washing machine further includes a shaft seat 13 , which is disposed between the side wall of the second washing chamber 111 and the window inner drum 12 , and the window inner drum 12 and the shaft seat 13 are rotatably and detachably connected.

[0040] With this optional embodiment, a shaft seat 13 is provided between the side wall of the second washing chamber 111 and the window inner cylinder 12. The shaft seat 13 is fixed to the side wall of the second washing chamber 111. The shaft seat 13 is rotatably and detachably connected to the window inner cylinder 12. When the outer wall of the window inner cylinder 12 and the inner wall of the second washing chamber 111 are stained, the window inner cylinder 12 can be removed from the shaft seat 13 for cleaning.

[0041] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the washing machine comprises a housing 16, within which is disposed a main washing cavity 161 for holding wash water. A main inner drum 10 is disposed within the main washing cavity 161. A window gasket 162 is mounted on the housing 16 at the opening of the main washing cavity 161. When the main cover 11 is closed, the window gasket 162 acts as a seal to prevent water from spilling out of the main washing cavity 161. A main drive device 163 is also disposed within the housing 16 for rotating the main inner drum 10. The main inner drum 10 defines a first washing chamber 101, and a main clothing access opening 102 on the main inner drum 10 communicates with the opening of the main washing chamber. Thus, when washing large outerwear garments, the main cover 11 is opened, the garments are placed into the main inner drum 10 through the main clothing access opening 102, the main cover 11 is closed, and a wash program is selected to begin washing.

[0042] The main cover 11 comprises a main outer cover 112 and a main inner cover 113. The main inner cover 113 is securely connected to the inner surface of the main outer cover 112 and is recessed inward to define a second washing chamber 111. The window inner tub 12 is located within the second washing chamber 111. The sidewalls of the main inner tub 10 and the window inner tub 12 are each provided with a plurality of water holes. Optionally, the axes of the main inner tub 10 and the window inner tub 12 are collinear.

[0043] Combine Figure 3 As shown, shaft seat 13 includes a housing 138, with a ring edge 1381 disposed on the rightmost side of housing 138. Ring edge 1381 is used to secure shaft seat 13. Optionally, mounting holes are provided in ring edge 1381 to facilitate connection of ring edge 1381 to the sidewall of second washing chamber 111 using rivets, bolts, or the like. Alternatively, ring edge 1381 and the sidewall of second washing chamber 111 may be welded together. It is understood that the connection between housing 138 and the sidewall of second washing chamber 111 is not limited to the above two options.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the shaft seat 13 is provided with a shaft hole 131, and an elastic ring 132 is provided in the shaft hole 131; the washing machine includes a rotating shaft 14, and the rotating shaft 14 includes a first rotating shaft segment 141 and a second rotating shaft segment 142. One end of the first rotating shaft segment 141 is connected to the window inner cylinder 12, and the other end of the first rotating shaft segment 141 is located in the shaft hole 131. The second rotating shaft segment 142 is connected to the other end of the first rotating shaft segment 141 and passes through the elastic ring 132. The size of the second rotating shaft segment 142 is larger than that of the elastic ring 132.

[0045] By adopting this optional embodiment, by setting a rotating shaft 14, the rotating shaft 14 can make the window inner tube 12 rotatably installed on the shaft seat 13; the rotating shaft 14 includes a first rotating shaft section 141 and a second rotating shaft section 142, one end of the first rotating shaft section 141 is connected to the window inner tube 12, the other end of the first rotating shaft section 141 is located in the shaft hole 131, the second rotating shaft section 142 is connected to the other end of the first rotating shaft section 141 and passes through the elastic ring 132, the size of the second rotating shaft section 142 is larger than the size of the elastic ring 132, so that when an accident occurs, the elastic ring 132 can confine the second rotating shaft section 142 in the shaft hole 131 to prevent the rotating shaft 14 from falling off from the shaft seat 13.

[0046] Optionally, the elastic ring 132 is a closed ring or an open ring; the shape of the elastic ring 132 can be an elliptical shape or other shapes. The elastic ring 132 is elastic. When the force applied to the window inner tube 12 in the direction of disengaging the shaft seat 13 is greater than a predetermined value, the elastic ring 132 will be deformed, and the second rotating shaft segment 142 will disengage from the elastic ring 132; when the force applied to the window inner tube 12 in the direction of disengaging the shaft seat 13 is less than or equal to a predetermined value, the second rotating shaft segment 142 cannot disengage from the elastic ring 132; in this way, when people need to clean the outer wall of the window inner tube 12 and / or the inner wall of the second washing chamber 111, a force greater than a predetermined value can be applied to the window inner tube 12 in the direction of disengaging the shaft seat 13, so that the second rotating shaft segment 142 can disengage from the elastic ring 132, thereby allowing the window inner tube 12 to be taken out of the second washing chamber 111, making it easier for people to clean; after cleaning, during installation, the second rotating shaft segment 142 can also push open the elastic ring 132, so that the elastic ring 132 confines the second rotating shaft segment 142 in the shaft hole 131. On the other hand, when the window inner drum 12 vibrates during the washing process, the elastic ring 132 can prevent the second shaft segment 142 from falling out of the shaft hole 131, thereby ensuring the continued washing process. The surfaces of the elastic ring 132 and the second shaft segment 142 are relatively smooth, which reduces the possibility of jamming when the second shaft segment 142 falls out of the elastic ring 132 or when the second shaft segment 142 breaks through the elastic ring 132.

[0047] In some optional embodiments, the rotating shaft 14 also includes a third rotating shaft segment 143, which is connected between the first rotating shaft segment 141 and the second rotating shaft segment 142. The outer diameter of the third rotating shaft segment 143 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first rotating shaft segment 141 and smaller than the outer diameter of the second rotating shaft segment 142. The third rotating shaft segment 143 is located in the elastic ring 132 and is adapted to the size of the elastic ring 132.

[0048] With this optional embodiment, a third rotating shaft segment 143 is provided, which is connected between the first rotating shaft segment 141 and the second rotating shaft segment 142, and the outer diameter of the third rotating shaft segment 143 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first rotating shaft segment 141 and smaller than the outer diameter of the second rotating shaft segment 142. In this way, the elastic ring 132 can be stuck on the outside of the third rotating shaft segment 143, thereby exerting a certain limiting effect on the rotating shaft 14.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, the shaft seat 13 includes a bearing 133, the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133 defines a shaft hole 131, and at least a portion of the inner wall surface of the shaft hole 131 is inclined outward along the direction in which the window inner tube 12 is separated from the shaft seat 13 to form a first inclined surface 1311; at least a portion of the outer wall surface of the first rotating shaft section 141 is inclined outward along the direction in which the window inner tube 12 is separated from the shaft seat 13 to form a second inclined surface 1411, and the first inclined surface 1311 is adapted to the second inclined surface 1411.

[0050] With this optional embodiment, by arranging a bearing 133 in the shaft seat 13, the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133 defines the shaft hole 131, and the first shaft section 141 of the rotating shaft 14 can be arranged in the shaft hole 131, thereby providing support for the rotating shaft 14, reducing the friction between the rotating shaft 14 and the shaft seat 13, and improving the service life; at least a part of the inner wall surface of the shaft hole 131 is inclined outwardly along the direction in which the window inner tube 12 is separated from the shaft seat 13 to form a first inclined surface 1311; at least a part of the outer wall surface of the first rotating shaft section 141 is inclined outwardly along the direction in which the window inner tube 12 is separated from the shaft seat 13 to form a second inclined surface 1411, and the first inclined surface 1311 is adapted to the second inclined surface 1411, and combined with Figure 3 As shown, both the first inclined surface 1311 and the second inclined surface 1411 are tapered surfaces. The end of the first rotating shaft segment 141 is truncated cone-shaped to match the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133. This facilitates the removal of the first rotating shaft segment 141 from the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133 without being blocked by the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133, facilitating installation and positioning. It is understood that the thickness of each portion of the first rotating shaft segment 141 can also be uniform, so that the dimensions of the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133 match those of the first rotating shaft segment 141.

[0051] Optionally, the bearing 133 may be a deep groove ball bearing 133 or other types of bearings 133 .

[0052] In some optional embodiments, the shaft seat 13 also includes a first sealing gasket 134 and a gasket 135. The first sealing gasket 134 is arranged on the side of the bearing 133 facing the window inner tube 12 and is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 14; the gasket 135 is pressed between the first sealing gasket 134 and the outer ring 1332 of the bearing 133, and the gasket 135 is provided with a first avoidance notch 1351 corresponding to the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133.

[0053] Using this optional embodiment, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the front end of the housing 138 is provided with a stopper 1382, with an opening at its center to facilitate insertion of the rotating shaft 14 into the shaft seat 13. A first sealing gasket 134 is disposed between the stopper 1382 and the bearing 133, and sleeved onto the outer side of the rotating shaft 14. This seals the rotating shaft 14 in both the radial and axial directions, preventing water within the second washing chamber 111 from entering the shaft seat 13. A gasket 135 is pressed between the first sealing gasket 134 and the outer ring 1332 of the bearing 133. A first relief notch 1351 is provided in the gasket 135 corresponding to the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133. This prevents direct contact between the first sealing gasket 134 and the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133, preventing friction between the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133 and the first sealing gasket 134 during rotation. Furthermore, the gasket 135 increases the contact area with the first sealing gasket 134, ensuring a secure seal.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, the shaft seat 13 also includes a top platform 136, which is arranged on the side of the bearing 133 facing away from the window inner tube 12, and the surface of the top platform 136 facing the bearing 133 is provided with a second avoidance gap 1361 for avoiding the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133, wherein the top platform 136 is provided with a receiving groove 1362 connected to the shaft hole 131, and the second rotating shaft section 142 is located in the receiving groove 1362.

[0055] Using this optional embodiment, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top platform 136 is truncated, though other shapes are possible. The top platform 136 is located on the side of the bearing 133 facing away from the window inner tube 12. The surface of the top platform 136 facing the bearing 133 is provided with a second relief notch 1361 that avoids the inner race 1331 of the bearing 133. This prevents direct contact between the top platform 136 and the inner race 1331 of the bearing 133, preventing friction between the inner race 1331 of the bearing 133 and the top platform 136 during rotation. The second relief notch 1361 can also accommodate grease required by the bearing 133. The top platform 136 is provided with a receiving groove 1362 that communicates with the shaft hole 131. The second rotating shaft section 142 is located within the receiving groove 1362, making the structure more compact. Optionally, the surface of the top platform 136 where the second relief notch 1361 is located is provided with a groove 1363 that communicates with the second relief notch 1361 and is used to accommodate the elastic ring 132.

[0056] It should be noted that the length of the elastic ring 132 is L1, and the minimum inner diameter of the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133 is D1, where D1 is less than L1. Since the bearing 133 is restricted in the shaft housing by the stop portion 1382, the bearing 133 will not fall out of the shaft housing, and the bearing 133 can restrict the elastic member in the groove 1363, so that the elastic ring 132 can restrict the second rotating shaft segment 142 in the accommodating groove 1362.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, the shaft seat 13 further includes a second sealing gasket 137 ; the second sealing gasket 137 is disposed on a side of the top platform 136 facing away from the bearing 133 and covers the accommodating groove 1362 .

[0058] With this optional embodiment, a second sealing gasket 137 is provided. The second sealing gasket 137 is provided on the side of the top platform 136 away from the bearing 133 and covers the accommodating groove 1362. In this way, the second sealing gasket 137 cooperates with the first sealing gasket 134 to achieve waterproofing of the entire shaft seat 13.

[0059] In some optional embodiments, the main inner tube 10 is provided with a first magnetic structure 103, and the window inner tube 12 is provided with a second magnetic structure 121. The first magnetic structure 103 and the second magnetic structure 121 are attracted to each other, and the distance between the second magnetic structure 121 and the main clothing access port 102 is smaller than the distance between the first magnetic structure 103 and the main clothing access port 102, so that the window inner tube 12 is attracted toward the shaft seat 13.

[0060] With this optional embodiment, a first magnetic structure 103 is provided in the main inner drum 10 and a second magnetic structure 121 is provided in the window inner drum 12. The first magnetic structure 103 and the second magnetic structure 121 are attracted to each other, and the distance between the second magnetic structure 121 and the main clothing access opening 102 is smaller than the distance between the first magnetic structure 103 and the main clothing access opening 102. On the one hand, when the main inner drum 10 rotates under the drive of the main drive device 163, the window inner drum 12 will rotate with the main inner drum 10 through the magnetic force between the first magnetic structure 103 and the second magnetic structure 121. There is no need to set an auxiliary drive device in the second washing chamber 111 to drive the window inner drum 12 separately, and there is no need to introduce wires, circuits, etc. into the second washing chamber 111, which can avoid the problem of difficult wiring between the second washing chamber 111 and the casing 16; in addition, since there is no need to set an auxiliary drive device to drive the window inner drum 12 separately, the window inner drum 12 can make full use of the space in the second washing chamber 111, thereby increasing the washing capacity of the window inner drum 12 and reducing manufacturing costs. On the other hand, the first magnetic structure 103 and the second magnetic structure 121 are attracted to each other, and the distance between the second magnetic structure 121 and the main clothing access port 102 is smaller than the distance between the first magnetic structure 103 and the main clothing access port 102; the window inner tube 12 can be attracted toward the shaft seat 13, so that the window inner tube 12 can be better installed on the shaft seat 13, and the window inner tube 12 can be more stable during operation; the window inner tube 12 is driven to rotate by magnetic force, and touching the rotating window inner tube 12 in an emergency can stop the window inner tube 12 from rotating, which is safer.

[0061] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple first magnetic structures 103 are provided on the outer side of the end of the main inner drum 10. A closed fixing band 104 is provided on the outer side of the first magnetic structures 103 on the main inner drum 10. The closed fixing band 104 prevents the first magnetic structures 103 from being thrown out when the washing machine runs a high-speed spin cycle. Multiple second magnetic structures 121 corresponding to the first magnetic structures 103 are provided on the circumferential outer wall of the window inner drum 12. Preferably, the multiple first magnetic structures 103 are arranged at equal intervals at the end of the main inner drum 10.

[0062] Optionally, the first magnetic structure 103 can be made of a strong magnet, such as a neodymium magnet. The second magnetic structure 121 can be a magnetic block that is conductive and can be attracted by the first magnetic structure 103. When the main inner cylinder 10 rotates, the window inner cylinder 12 can be driven to rotate by the magnetic force. It is understood that the second magnetic structure 121 can also be a strong magnet, such as a neodymium magnet. In this way, the first magnetic structure 103 and the second magnetic structure 121 have opposite magnetic poles, and the first magnetic structure 103 and the second magnetic structure 121 can attract each other. When the main inner cylinder 10 rotates, the window inner cylinder 12 can be driven to rotate by the magnetic force.

[0063] It should be noted that when the main inner cylinder 10 rotates, the attraction between the first magnetic structure 103 and the second magnetic structure 121 drives the window inner cylinder 12 to rotate. When the window inner cylinder 12 rotates, the elastic ring 132 and the third rotating shaft segment 143 do not need to contact each other. Specifically, the width of the elastic ring 132 is slightly larger than the diameter of the third rotating shaft segment 143. This reduces friction between the elastic ring 132 and the third rotating shaft segment 143, thereby extending the service life. Of course, the size of the elastic ring 132 can also be equal to the size of the third rotating shaft segment 143, or slightly smaller than the size of the third rotating shaft segment 143.

[0064] During the rotation of the window inner tube 12, the outer ring 1332 does not rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 14. The top platform 136 and the gasket 135 are in contact with the outer ring 1332, and the top platform 136 and the gasket 135 are not in contact with the inner ring 1331. Therefore, the top platform 136 and the gasket 135 will not rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 14; the elastic ring 132 is arranged in the groove 1363 on the top platform 136, and the elastic ring 132 will not rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 14; since the first sealing gasket 134 is pressed between the crotch stop portion 1382 and the gasket 135, the first sealing gasket 134 does not rotate with the rotating shaft 14 either; there is friction between the rotating shaft 14 and the inner ring 1331, and the inner ring 1331 can rotate driven by the rotating shaft 14, and the inner ring 1331 of the bearing 133 can rotate relative to the outer ring 1332.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, the washing machine also includes a sub-cover body 15, which can be opened and closed to cover the open end of the second washing chamber 111. The inner surface of the sub-cover body 15 is provided with a flange 151, which corresponds to the second washing chamber 111 and is inclined. The thickness of the lower end of the flange 151 is greater than the thickness of the upper end of the flange.

[0066] With this optional embodiment, by providing a sub-cover body 15, the sub-cover body 15 can be opened and closed to cover the open end of the second washing chamber 111, thereby facilitating the opening or closing of the open end of the second washing chamber 111; the inner surface of the sub-cover body 15 is provided with a flange 151, and the thickness of the lower end of the flange 151 is greater than the thickness of the upper end of the flange 151. In this way, when the window inner drum 12 is running, the clothes near the open end of the window inner drum 12 will slide off the flange 151, which can prevent the clothes in the window inner drum 12 from falling into the gap between the window inner drum 12 and the second washing chamber 111, thereby making washing in the washing machine safer.

[0067] Optionally, the auxiliary cover 15 is a scalding protection cover.

[0068] Combine Figure 6 As shown, a sealing ring 152 is provided on the inner side of the auxiliary cover 15. When the auxiliary cover 15 covers the open end of the second washing chamber 111, the sealing ring 152 can play a sealing role to prevent the washing water in the second washing chamber 111 from spilling out.

[0069] In some optional embodiments, the open end of the second washing chamber 111 is inclined upward.

[0070] With this optional embodiment, the opening end of the second washing chamber 111 is tilted upward, and the opening end of the window inner drum 12 in the second washing chamber 111 is also tilted upward, which makes it convenient for people to take clothes.
