DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a water inlet structure of a drum, including a cylindrical shaft 1 with a hollow interior forming a water inlet channel and a water inlet pipe 2, a water outlet adapter 23 is provided at the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe, a transfer chamber 231 connected to the water inlet channel is provided in the water outlet adapter 23, and a stirring structure 19 for stirring the inlet water flow is provided in the transfer chamber 231.
[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, a stirring structure 19 is provided in the transfer chamber 231. The stirring structure 19 can stir the incoming water flow, break up the incoming water flow, increase the turbulence of the incoming water flow, achieve full mixing of the incoming water flow and the detergent, and improve the washing effect.
[0034] The water outlet adapter 23 is integrally formed with the water inlet pipe 2, reducing resistance at the transition point between the water outlet adapter 23 and the water inlet, and improving the sealing between the water outlet adapter 23 and the water inlet pipe 2 to prevent the inlet water flow from leaking out. The reason why the water outlet adapter 23 is provided at the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe is that the water outlet adapter 23 can change the flow direction of the inlet water flow, so that the inlet water flow from the water inlet pipe 2 can enter the water inlet flow channel in the cylindrical shaft 1 more smoothly.
[0035] It should be noted that the water inlet pipe 2 includes a first section of the water inlet pipe and a second section of the water inlet pipe. The first section of the water inlet pipe is a plastic pipe, and the second section of the water inlet pipe is a rubber pipe. The water outlet of the first section of the water inlet pipe has a water outlet adapter 23, and the water inlet of the first section of the water inlet pipe has a rubber joint. The rubber joint of the first section of the water inlet pipe is integrally formed with the second section of the water inlet pipe. The second section of the water inlet pipe in the water inlet pipe 2 adopts a rubber pipe, which can bend part of the water inlet pipe and flexibly change the position of the water inlet pipe 2.
[0036] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the water outlet adapter 23 is hemispherical, and a water outlet connected to the water inlet channel is provided on the diameter end face of the water outlet adapter 23. The water outlet 232 of the water outlet adapter is located at the center of the diameter end face, and the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe is embedded in the water outlet adapter 23 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the water outlet adapter, and the stirring structure 19 is opposite to the water outlet 232 of the water outlet adapter and the water outlet 24 of the water inlet pipe.
[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, the water outlet adapter 23 is hemispherical, and the inner wall of the water outlet adapter 23 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped inner wall can reduce the friction resistance to the incoming water flow;
[0038] The water outlet adapter 23 is hemispherical, having an end face where the diameter is located. The end face where the diameter is located is called the diameter end face, which is the end face with the largest size of the water outlet adapter 23. The diameter end face is annular, and the inner periphery of the diameter end face forms a circular water outlet 232 of the water outlet adapter.
[0039] The stirring structure 19 is provided at the water outlet 232 of the water outlet adapter. After the inlet water flows into the transfer chamber 231, it is stirred by the stirring structure 19 at the water outlet 232 of the water outlet adapter, so that the inlet water flows from the transfer chamber 231 into the water inlet flow channel with a greater turbulence.
[0040] Preferably, the water outlet of the water outlet adapter and the water outlet of the water inlet pipe are both circular, and the center lines of the water outlet of the water outlet adapter and the water outlet of the water inlet pipe are both perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft.
[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the water wheel structure 191 includes a rotating shaft 1911 and a plurality of stirring blades 1912 rotatably provided on the inner wall of the water outlet adapter 23; the rotating shaft 1911 extends radially in the transfer cavity 231, and extends from the inner wall of one end of the water outlet adapter 23 to the inner wall of the opposite end of the water outlet adapter 23; the plurality of stirring blades 1912 are distributed on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 1911 at intervals along the circumference of the rotating shaft 1911.
[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention, the water wheel structure 191 specifically includes a rotating shaft 1911 that can rotate within the transfer chamber 231 and stirring blades 1912 that rotate with the rotating shaft 1911 and stir the incoming water flow. The rotating shaft 1911 extends radially within the transfer chamber 231. One end of the rotating shaft 1911 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one end of the water outlet adapter 23. The other end of the rotating shaft 1911 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the opposite end of the water outlet adapter 23. The rotating shaft 1911 is directly opposite the water outlet, so that the incoming water flow must first pass through the water flow structure before reaching the water outlet 232 of the water outlet adapter.
[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the water wheel structure has a rotating shaft rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the water outlet adapter, and the rotating shaft horizontally extends from one side of the inner wall of the water outlet adapter across the water outlet of the water outlet adapter to the opposite side of the inner wall of the water outlet adapter.
[0044] A plurality of stirring blades 1912 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 1911, wherein the stirring blades 1912 and the rotating shaft 1911 are integrally formed to reduce the resistance of the transition between the stirring blades 1912 and the rotating shaft 1911 to the incoming water flow;
[0045] A plurality of stirring blades 1912 are arranged in a circle on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 1911, which can achieve stirring of the incoming water flow over the largest area. In addition, the plurality of stirring blades 1912 are evenly distributed on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 1911, so that the stirring force for stirring the incoming water flow is relatively balanced.
[0046] Both ends of the rotating shaft 1911 are provided with mounting blocks, and the mounting blocks include a first mounting block and a second mounting block arranged coaxially. The first mounting block and the second mounting block are both disc-shaped. A second mounting block is provided on the disc surface of the first mounting block, which protrudes axially relative to the first mounting block. The second mounting block is provided with a socket along the axial direction. One end of the rotating shaft 1911 is inserted into the socket, and the first mounting block is embedded in the inner wall of the water outlet adapter 23. It can be rotated in the water outlet adapter 23 under the drive of the motor, thereby driving the rotating shaft 1911 to rotate; in addition, the first mounting block is provided with a through hole that is coaxial with and connected to the above-mentioned socket, and one end of the rotating shaft 1911 can be rotatably inserted into the socket, and the motor shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft through the through hole to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.
[0047] Preferably, the water inlet end of the cylindrical shaft 1 is inserted into the transfer cavity 231 through the water outlet 232 of the water outlet adapter, and the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe is inserted into the transfer cavity 231 along the tangential direction; the water inlet of the water outlet of the water inlet pipe is set to flow into the water outlet adapter 23 along the tangential direction of the water outlet adapter, thereby reducing the resistance to water inflow at the transition between the water outlet of the water inlet pipe and the water outlet adapter 23, thereby improving the water inflow efficiency of the water inlet pipe;
[0048] Since the outlet end of the water inlet pipe is inserted into the transfer chamber 231 along a tangential direction, the water flow entering the transfer chamber 231 from the outlet end of the water inlet pipe can flow directly to the outlet 232 of the water outlet adapter, avoiding the inlet water flow having to make multiple turns before flowing out of the outlet 232 of the water outlet adapter.
[0049] In addition, the water inlet end of the cylindrical shaft 1 is inserted into the transfer cavity 231 through the water outlet of the water outlet adapter 23, thereby increasing the sealing between the cylindrical shaft 1 and the transfer cavity 231 and reducing the leakage of the inlet water flow.
[0050] In order to enable the stirring structure 19 to stir the incoming water flow of the transfer chamber 231 and increase the turbulence of the incoming water flow, the rotation direction of the water wheel structure 191 is set to be opposite to the flow direction of the incoming water flow, and the rotation of the water wheel structure 191 blocks and stirs the incoming water flow.
[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the stirring blades 1912 are plate-shaped structures and gradually bend and extend outward from the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 1911, and the bending direction of all the stirring blades 1912 is consistent.
[0052] In the embodiment of the present invention, specifically, the stirring blades 1912 are plate-shaped structures. The stirring blades 1912 protrude outward relative to the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 1911, thereby increasing the stirring arm length, thereby increasing the turbulence of the incoming water flow while increasing the stirring area for stirring the incoming water flow.
[0053] The stirring blades 1912 gradually bend outward from the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 1911, and the bending direction is opposite to the direction of the water flow into the transfer chamber 231. The curved stirring blades 1912 can not only gather and block the incoming water flow, but also increase the friction between the stirring blades 1912 and the incoming water flow, thereby further increasing the turbulence of the incoming water flow.
[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the stirring blade 1912 is divided into a first blade section 1912a, a second blade section 1912b and a third blade section 1912c along the bending direction of the stirring blade 1912. The sizes of the first blade section 1912a and the third blade section 1912c along the bending direction of the stirring blade 1912 remain different, and the size of the second blade section 1912b along the bending direction of the stirring blade 1912 gradually decreases.
[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, the stirring blade 1912 is divided into three sections along the bending direction of the stirring blade 1912, wherein the dimensions of the first section blade 1912a and the third section blade 1912c along the bending direction of the stirring blade 1912 remain unchanged, and the dimension of the second section blade 1912b along the bending direction of the stirring blade 1912 gradually decreases. The second section blade 1912b has the largest degree of bending, which reduces the weight of the stirring blade 1912 on the one hand.
[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a water stirring chamber 20 is formed between two adjacent stirring blades 1912 , and the size of the water stirring chamber 20 gradually increases along the bending direction of the stirring blades 1912 .
[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of stirring blades 1912 are distributed at intervals on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 1911, so that a stirring chamber 20 is formed between two adjacent stirring blades 1912. The stirring chamber 20 provides a space for the incoming water flow to reside, so that the incoming water flow can stay for a short time during stirring, and the stirring blades 1912 can fully stir the incoming water flow; since the bending degrees of the first blade 1912a, the second blade 1912b and the third blade 1912c are different, the size of the stirring chamber 20 along the bending direction of the stirring blade 1912 gradually increases, so that the incoming water flow in the stirring chamber 20 is stirred by the two adjacent stirring blades 1912.
[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, a reinforcing rib 30 is provided between two adjacent stirring blades 1912 .
[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the stirring blades 1912 are stirring the incoming water flow, the incoming water flow has a greater impact on the stirring blades 1912. Therefore, in order to increase the structural strength of the stirring blades 1912 and reduce costs, reinforcing ribs 30 are provided between two adjacent stirring blades 1912. The reinforcing ribs 30 can simultaneously enhance the strength of the two stirring blades 1912.
[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing rib 30 is a plate-like structure, and the reinforcing rib 30 extends along the bending direction of the stirring blade 1912 in the stirring chamber 20. The reinforcing rib 30 is respectively arranged to fit the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 1911 and the two adjacent stirring blades 1912.
[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, specifically, the reinforcing rib 30 is a plate-like structure. In order to maximize the structural strength of the stirring blade 1912, when the reinforcing rib 30 is set, the side wall of the reinforcing rib 30 corresponding to the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 1911 and the two adjacent stirring blades 1912 is fitted with the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 1911 and the two adjacent stirring blades 1912. Since the size of the stirring chamber 20 along the bending direction of the stirring blade 1912 gradually decreases, the size of the reinforcing rib 30 along the bending direction of the stirring blade 1912 gradually decreases.
[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also provides a drum washing machine, including a drum, a drum support 8 and a motor 7. The drum support 8 is provided on the outside of the drum, and the motor 7 is provided on the drum support 8. It also includes a water inlet structure of the drum, and the drum shaft 1 is installed at the bottom of the drum. The water outlet end of the drum shaft 1 is connected to the drum, and the water inlet end of the drum shaft 1 passes through the drum support 8 and the motor 7 and is inserted into the transfer cavity 231, and the water outlet adapter 23 is fixed on the drum support 8.
[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, the drum is a non-porous drum, the drum shaft is coaxially arranged at the bottom of the drum, the motor 7 is arranged on the drum support member through the motor support structure 9, and the motor support structure 9 is wrapped around the outside of the motor 7; the water outlet adapter 23 is fixed to the drum support member 8 through the motor support structure 9, and the water outlet adapter 23 is arranged outside the motor support structure 9; wherein the drum support member 8 includes an outer cylinder;
[0064] When water is entering, the water flows into the water inlet pipe 2, the transfer chamber 231, the drum shaft 1 in sequence, and finally enters the interior of the drum.
[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make slight changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments using the above technical content without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
