TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drum washing machines, in particular to a washing tub with a flowing water channel, a washing machine and a draining method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the drum washing machine has a perforated inner tub structure, and the inner tub and the outer tub are communicated. The existing problems are as follows: 1. The water between the outer tub and the inner tub does not participate in washing, which is wasted water; 2. Over time, serious dirt and mold are generated, which causes secondary pollution to clothes. The dirt in the outer tub enters the inner tub, causing secondary pollution to clothes. If the inner tub is made into a non-perforated tub, the water in the inner tub can be maintained during the washing state without loss, and the ideal effect can be achieved during the draining and dewatering, which is a technical problem that needs to be overcome in the current water-saving and environment-friendly technology of drum washing machines.
[0003] The existing cleaning methods for the inner tub and the outer tub of the drum washing machine are as follows: 1. The inner tub is flushed by water flow to reduce the attached dirt; 2. The washing machine is regularly cleaned by using a tank to clean the detergent, so as to remove the dirt; 3. The washing tub is made into a detachable structure, and the washing tub is taken out for cleaning. However, the above-mentioned water flow flushing method is not clean and complete; the chemical cleaning method is time-consuming and labor-intensive; and the detachable washing tub method has a relatively complex structure and poor user experience.
[0004] The patent application with publication number CN 107447425A discloses a drum washing machine and a cleaning method thereof. An annular isolation channel is arranged between the outer tub and the inner tub. The isolation channel can be arranged on the outer tub to rotate relative to the inner tub, or arranged on the inner tub to rotate relative to the outer tub. The isolation channel is communicated with the perforated area of the inner tub, so as to completely isolate the space between the outer tub and the inner tub from the inside of the inner tub, and then the sewage does not flow between the inner tub and the outer tub, and the dirt does not adhere and accumulate in the area between the outer tub and the inner tub. However, in the actual application of the technical solution of the patent application, the sealing performance of the connection part of the isolation channel is very poor when the isolation channel rotates between the inner tub and the outer tub. The washing water still exists between the inner tub and the outer tub. Moreover, when the washing tub rotates at a high speed, the washing tub often shakes and rotates. During the shaking process, the connection between the isolation channel and the inner tub and the outer tub is deformed or displaced, which affects the isolation effect of the isolation channel, cannot isolate the washing water between the inner tub and the outer tub, and has poor effect of avoiding secondary pollution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0079] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0080] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this invention is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, technical solutions or features between various embodiments can be combined, but only if they are feasible to those skilled in the art. If a combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination should be considered nonexistent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0081] Furthermore, all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0082] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0083] Example 1
[0084] like Figures 1-9 As shown, this embodiment discloses a washing tub with a water flow channel that allows for unidirectional rotation. A water flow channel 3 is provided on the washing tub 1, and a drainage structure 4 is provided on the washing tub 1. One end of the water flow channel 3 is connected to the drainage structure 4, and the drainage structure 4 is used to direct the water inside the washing tub 1 to the water flow channel 3. The other end of the water flow channel 3 is connected to a water-throwing structure 5, which is located outside the washing tub 1 and is used to direct the washing water in the water flow channel 3 to the outside of the washing tub 1.
[0085] Preferably, the two ends of the water flow channel 3 are on a circle with the central axis of the washing tub as the center, and the water flow channel 3 is arranged in an arc shape.
[0086] Specifically, the angle formed by the two ends of the water channel 3 and the central axis of the washing tub on the circular projection centered on the central axis of the washing tub 1 is α, and the angle formed by the two ends of the washing water surface 2 in the washing tub 1 and the central axis of the washing tub on the circular projection of the washing tub 1 during washing is β, where α≧β.
[0087] Furthermore, the washing tub 1 includes a front panel 6, a circumference 7, and a rear panel 8, and the water flow channel 3 is disposed on any one or more of the front panel 6, the circumference 7, and the rear panel 8.
[0088] Preferably, the arc length of the water flow channel 3 is greater than the arc length formed by the contact between the washing water surface 2 and the washing tub.
[0089] Specifically, the angle α between the two ends of the circular arc of the water flow channel 3 and the center of the washing tub 1 is in the range of 90 degrees to 360 degrees, preferably in the range of 100 degrees to 180 degrees.
[0090] Further, the water flow channel 3, the water draining structure 4, and the water throwing structure 5 form a water flow pipeline on the washing tub 1. A plurality of water flow pipelines, preferably 2 to 4, can be arranged on the front plate 6 and the rear plate 8 of the washing tub. A plurality of groups of water flow pipeline devices, preferably 2 to 5, are arranged on the circumference 7 of the washing tub. Each group of water flow pipeline devices is provided with a plurality of water flow pipelines, preferably 2 to 4.
[0091] Preferably, the water flow channel 3 is flat or tubular.
[0092] Further, the water flow pipeline is arranged in a gradually shrinking manner from the water draining structure 4 to the water throwing structure 5. This arrangement avoids the washing water adhering to the water flow channel 3 under the action of centrifugal force when the washing tub rotates at high speed during the dehydration process, thereby affecting the dehydration effect.
[0093] The features and structures in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with the structures and features of other embodiments, but must be based on the realization of a person of ordinary skill in the art. When the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, and is not within the protection scope required by the present application.
[0094] The present embodiment discloses a washing tub with a water flow channel for one-way rotation. A water flow pipeline is arranged on the washing tub, one end of the water flow pipeline is connected to the inside of the washing tub, and the other end of the water flow pipeline is arranged outside the washing tub. Thus, the washing tub can complete the washing, draining, and dehydration processes through continuous one-way rotation. The rotation direction of the washing tub during the washing process is opposite to that during the draining and dehydration processes.
[0095] Embodiment 2
[0096] The present embodiment discloses a drum washing machine and a draining method. As shown in Figure 18As shown, the drum washing machine includes a washing tub 1, on which a water flow channel 3 is provided. One end of the water flow channel 3 is connected to the washing tub 1, and a flow hole is provided at the connection between the washing tub and the water flow channel 3. The other position is without holes. The other end of the water flow channel 1 is formed outside the washing tub. The projection of the water flow channel 3 onto a circle centered on the central axis of the washing tub is arc-shaped or circular. The angle α formed by the two ends of the water flow channel 3 and the central axis of the washing tub on the circular projection of the washing tub 1 is α. During washing, the washing machine washes the water in the washing tub 1. The angle formed by the two ends of the water surface 2 and the central axis of the washing tub on the circular projection of the washing tub 1 is β, α≧β. The washing machine rotates in one direction during washing, draining and spin-drying. The clockwise direction formed from the connection point of the water flow channel 3 and the end of the water flow channel 3 is the same as the clockwise direction of the washing tub during washing. The direction of rotation of the washing tub during washing is opposite to the direction of rotation during draining, and the direction of rotation of the washing tub during draining is the same as the direction of rotation during spin-drying.
[0097] To more clearly explain the working principle of the washing machine described in this invention, the following definitions are made: In the embodiments, clockwise and counterclockwise refer to the clockwise direction formed when looking from one end of the water inlet of the washing tub towards the end of the clutch connection of the washing tub. The rotation direction of the washing machine during washing is defined as R clockwise, and the rotation direction of the washing machine during drainage or spin-drying is defined as S clockwise. The direction formed from one end of the water flow channel 3 connected to the washing tub to the other end of the water flow channel 3 is defined as T clockwise. That is, the clockwise direction of T is the same as the clockwise direction of R, and the clockwise direction of R is opposite to the clockwise direction of S.
[0098] In conjunction with Example 1, such as Figure 35 As shown, an outer tub 20 is provided on the outside of the washing tub 1. The water-throwing structure 5 of the water flow channel 3 is provided between the washing tub 1 and the outer tub 20. The bottom of the outer tub 20 is provided with a drain outlet 25, and a drain pipe 26 is connected to the drain outlet 25.
[0099] In a front-loading washing machine, the spin speed of the washing tub is generally below 50 rpm under the action of washing water and clothes. The water level in the tub is generally horizontal or nearly horizontal. Figures 2-9 As shown, the drainage structure 4, water channel 3 and water throwing structure 5 of the water pipe are arranged counterclockwise on the washing tub, that is, T clockwise is counterclockwise.
[0100] When the washing tub 1 rotates clockwise:
[0101] like Figure 2 As shown, at this time, both the drainage structure 4 and the water-throwing structure 5 are above the washing water surface 2, and there is no washing water in the water flow channel 3.
[0102] With the clockwise rotation of the washing tub 1, it reaches the position as shown in Figure 3 At this time, the draining structure 4 is lower than the washing water surface 2, the throwing structure 5 is higher than the washing water surface 2, and the washing water in the flowing water channel 3 is injected through the draining structure 4;

[0164] Example 5
[0165] like Figures 32-34 As shown, this embodiment discloses another type of washing tub with a spiral water flow channel. The washing tub 1 includes a front plate 6, a circumference 7, and a rear plate 8. A spiral water flow channel 18 is provided on the circumference 7. The spiral water flow channel 18 is spirally arranged. One end of the spiral water flow channel 18 is connected to the inside of the washing tub 1, and the other end of the spiral water flow channel 18 is located outside the washing tub 1. The spiral water flow channel 18 is spirally arranged, meaning that the centers of the two ends of the spiral water flow channel 18 are not on the same circumference with the central axis of the washing tub as the center. Other structures are the same as in Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, Embodiment 3, or Embodiment 4.
[0166] Specifically, the included angle between the two ends of the spiral water flow channel 18 and the central axis of the washing tub in the circular projection with the central axis of the washing tub 1 as the center is α, and the included angle between the two ends of the washing water surface 2 in the washing tub 1 and the central axis of the washing tub in the circular projection of the washing tub 1 is β during washing of the washing machine, and α≥β.
[0167] Preferably, the spiral water flow channel 18 comprises a spiral water inlet pipe 18-3, which is arranged on the outer wall of the washing tub circumference 7. One end of the spiral water inlet pipe 18-3 is communicated with the washing tub 1 through a water inlet pipe drain port 18-4, and the other end of the spiral water inlet pipe 18-3 forms a water inlet pipe discharge port 18-5 arranged outside the washing tub 1.
[0168] Further, the projections of the two ends of the spiral water inlet pipe 18-3 on the circle with the central axis of the washing tub circumference 7 as the center are arranged in an arc shape, and the included angle between the projections of the two ends of the spiral water inlet pipe 18-3 on the circle and the center is not less than 90 degrees, preferably 100 degrees-180 degrees. This arrangement ensures that the arc length of the projections of the two ends of the spiral water flow channel 18 is greater than the arc length formed by the contact between the washing water surface 2 and the washing tub, and also improves the utilization efficiency of the outer wall of the washing tub circumference 7.

[0170] Further, the water inlet pipe discharge ports 18-5 of the multiple spiral water flow channels 18 can be arranged in parallel with the central axis of the washing tub circumference 7 or can be staggered with each other. This arrangement further improves the diversity and reliability of the outflow of the washing water in the washing tub in the drainage and dehydration conditions.
[0171] Preferably, the spiral water inlet pipe 18-3 is arranged in a gradually tapered manner from the water inlet pipe drain port 18-4 to the water inlet pipe discharge port 18-5.

This arrangement avoids the washing water adhering to the spiral water inlet pipe 18-3 under the action of centrifugal force and not flowing out from the water inlet pipe discharge port 18-5 when the washing tub rotates at a high speed during dehydration.
[0172] This embodiment discloses another setting mode and water flow structure of a washing tub with a falling selection type water flow channel. Other structures are the same as those of Embodiment 3 or Embodiment 4, and the working principle of the washing machine containing the same is the same as that described in Embodiment 2, which will not be repeated here.
[0173] The features and structures in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with the structures and features in other embodiments, but only if they are feasible to those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0174] Example 6
[0175] like Figures 36-38 As shown, this embodiment discloses a self-cleaning drum and washing machine with water-dispersing ribs. Water-dispersing ribs 12 are provided inside the washing tub 1, and a first chamber 1201 is formed inside the water-dispersing ribs 12. A water-dispersing rib drain hole 12-4 is provided on the first chamber 1201, and the first chamber 1201 is connected to the inside of the washing tub 1 through the water-dispersing rib drain hole 12-4. A water flow channel 3 is provided outside the washing tub 1, with one end connected to the first chamber 1201 and the other end forming a water-throwing structure 5. The water-throwing structure 5 is located outside the washing tub 1. Other structures are the same as in other embodiments.
[0176] Specifically, the angle formed by the two ends of the water channel 3 and the central axis of the washing tub on the circular projection centered on the central axis of the washing tub 1 is α, and the angle formed by the two ends of the washing water surface 2 in the washing tub 1 and the central axis of the washing tub on the circular projection of the washing tub 1 during washing is β, where α≧β.
[0177] As an example, the water-dispelling rib drain hole 12-4, the first chamber 1201, the water flow channel 3, and the water-throwing structure 5 form a water flow pipeline on the washing tub 1. The water flow pipeline includes one or more of the tub body water flow pipeline, the front plate water flow pipeline, and the rear plate water flow pipeline. That is, the water flow channel 3 can be formed in one or more of the tub body, the front end of the washing tub, and the rear end of the washing tub.
[0178] Preferably, the water-dispersing ribs 12 are disposed on the inner wall of the washing tub 1, and the water-dispersing ribs 12 are arranged in an inclined manner from near the front end of the washing tub to the rear end of the washing tub.
[0179] Specifically, the water flow channel 3 is arranged counterclockwise from the end near the drain hole 12-4 of the water-dispelling rib to the end near the water-throwing structure 5. The water-dispelling rib 12 is arranged with a gradually increasing incline from the front end of the washing tub to the rear end of the washing tub. The water flow channel 3 includes a tub body water flow pipe and / or a front panel water flow pipe. As an example, such as... Figure 36The water-pushing ribs 12 are arranged from the front end of the washing tub, i.e. the side close to the water inlet 28, to the rear end of the washing tub, i.e. the side close to the flange 9. The water-pushing ribs 12 are arranged in an inclined upward structure. Under the action of the clockwise high-speed rotation of the washing drum, the washing water surface is formed at the lower left corner. Under the action of the inclined water-pushing ribs, the washing water is sent outward, and the washing water is accumulated at the water inlet. The water flow pipeline arranged on the tub body and / or the front plate facilitates water drainage and meets the washing and water drainage conditions.
[0180] Under the action of the counterclockwise rotation of the washing drum, the washing water surface is formed at the lower right corner. Under the action of the inclined water-pushing ribs, the washing water is sent to the side of the flange and accumulated on the inner side. The rear plate water flow pipeline is not arranged on the washing tub to avoid water leakage under the washing condition.
[0181] Alternatively, the water flow channel 3 is arranged clockwise as a whole from one end close to the water-pushing rib drain hole 12-4 to one end close to the water throwing structure 5. The water-pushing rib 12 is arranged in a gradually decreasing inclined shape as a whole from the front end of the washing tub to the rear end of the washing tub. The water flow channel 3 includes the water flow pipeline arranged on the tub body and / or the rear plate.
[0182] Preferably, the cross section of the water-pushing rib 12 is arranged in a triangular shape. The water-pushing rib 12 includes a water-pushing rib drain surface 1202, which is a surface of the water-pushing rib 12 away from the water throwing structure 5 connected thereto. This arrangement makes the water-pushing rib drain surface 1202 rotate against the washing water during the water drainage condition, which is more conducive to the drainage of the washing water.
[0183] Further, the included angle between the two ends of the circular arc of the water flow channel 3 relative to the center of the washing tub 1 is 90 degrees-360 degrees, preferably 100 degrees-180 degrees.
[0184] Preferably, a plurality of water flow pipelines, preferably 2-4, can be arranged on the front plate 6 and the rear plate 8 of the washing tub. A plurality of water flow pipeline devices, preferably 2-5, are arranged on the circumference 7 of the washing tub. Each water flow pipeline device is provided with a plurality of water flow pipelines, preferably 2-4.
[0185] Further, a plurality of water-pushing rib drain holes 12-4 are arranged on the water-pushing rib 12. One water throwing structure 5 is arranged at the end of each water flow channel 3. This arrangement further improves the efficiency of water drainage.
[0186] Preferably, a plurality of water-pushing ribs 12, preferably 2-6, are arranged inside the washing tub 1.
[0187] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the water-pushing rib 12 is arranged on the inner wall of the washing tub 1. The water-pushing rib 12 is arranged from the front end of the washing tub to the rear end of the washing tub. The water-pushing rib 12 is arranged in an inclined upward structure. The water-pushing rib 12 is arranged in a gradually decreasing inclined shape as a whole from the front end of the washing tub to the rear end of the washing tub. Figure 38As shown, the drainage water-facing surface 1202 is arc-shaped and concave, and multiple water-repellent ribs and drainage holes 12-4 are provided on the drainage water-facing surface 1202. This arrangement further improves the reliability and efficiency of drainage in the water flow channel 3.
[0188] Preferably, as some embodiments of the present invention, the drain hole 12-4 of the water-dispensing rib is arranged in contact with the tub wall of the washing tub circumference 7. This arrangement further ensures the reliability and efficiency of drainage from the water flow channel 3.
[0189] This embodiment discloses another method of setting up a self-cleaning drum with water-repellent ribs and a water flow channel and water flow structure of a washing machine. Other structures are the same as or similar to those in other embodiments. The working principle of the washing machine including it is the same as that described in Embodiment 2, and will not be repeated here.
[0190] The features and structures in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with the structures and features in other embodiments, but only if they are feasible to those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0191] Example 7
[0192] like Figure 22 , 39 As shown in Figure 41, a structural schematic diagram of a washing tub with a bidirectional water flow channel is disclosed, including a washing tub 1 and a water flow channel 3 connected to the washing tub 1. A valve is provided at one end of the water flow channel 3. The water flow channel 3 is configured as tubular or flat. When the water flow channel 3 is located outside the washing tub 1, the structure or features are the same as those in other embodiments.
[0193] One end of the water flow channel 3 is connected to the interior of the washing tub 1, and the other end is located on the exterior of the washing tub 1. The water flow channel 3 is tightly connected to the outer wall of the washing tub 1 and rotates together with the washing tub 1. A drainage structure 4 is provided on the washing tub 1, which is used to direct the water in the washing tub 1 to the water flow channel 3. A water-throwing structure 5 is provided at the other end of the water flow channel 3, and the water-throwing structure 5 is located on the exterior of the washing tub 1.
[0194] Preferably, the inner wall of the washing tub 1 is provided with a spiral water-repelling rib 12, and the drainage structure 4 can also be provided on the water-facing surface of the water-repelling rib 12, so that the water in the washing tub 1 can quickly enter the water flow channel 3 during dehydration, thereby reducing the dehydration time.
[0195] The water flowing channel 3 is connected to the outer wall of the washing tub 1, and has an arc structure. The two ends of the water flowing channel 3 are located on the same section with the center axis of the washing tub 1 as the center, or the two ends of the water flowing channel 3 are located on different sections with the center axis of the washing tub 1 as the center, that is, the water flowing channel 3 can be arranged in a spiral shape. When the horizontal positions of the two ends of the water flowing channel 3 are lower than the washing water surface 2 during the rotation of the washing tub, the washing tub 1 will inevitably leak during the rotation washing process. Therefore, the horizontal position of at least one end of the two ends of the water flowing channel 3 is higher than the liquid surface, and preferably, the included angle between the projection of the two ends of the water flowing channel 3 on the same section with the center axis of the washing tub 1 as the center and the center of the section is 90-360 degrees.
[0196] Preferably, the outer part of the washing tub 1 can be provided with a cover plate. The water channel groove is formed on the washing tub 1 by rolling, and the cover plate and the water channel groove form the water flowing channel. The washing tub 1 includes a washing tub front plate 6, a washing tub circumference 7 and a washing tub rear plate 8. The front plate water channel groove 6-3 is arranged on the outer part of the washing tub front plate 6. The circumference water channel groove is arranged on the washing tub circumference 7. The rear plate water channel groove 8-3 is arranged on the outer part of the washing tub rear plate 8. The specific structure is the same as that of other embodiments.
[0197] In order to ensure that the water in the washing tub can not leak during the washing state and can be quickly drained during the dehydration working condition when the water level is low and high, preferably, the included angle between the projection of the two ends of the water flowing channel 3 on the same section with the center axis of the washing tub 1 as the center and the center of the section is 100-180 degrees. The water flowing channel 3 can be provided with at least one group on the washing tub 1, and each group can be provided with 1-4, preferably 2-3.
[0198] It is well known that the use of bidirectional rotating washing machine can save washing time and improve the effect of the washing machine. However, for the non-porous inner cylinder bidirectional rotating drum washing machine, how to set a water flowing channel which can not leak during the washing rotation of the washing tub and can quickly drain the washing water during the dehydration rotation of the washing tub is a difficult problem. The valve arranged at one end of the water flowing channel can realize the bidirectional rotation washing of the washing tub without water leakage during the low-speed rotation washing and can quickly drain the washing water during the high-speed reverse rotation of the washing tub.
[0199] Therefore, the valve arranged at one end of the water flowing channel 3 can realize the bidirectional rotation washing of the washing tub by controlling the opening and closing state of the valve. The valve can be an elastic valve 35 or a gravity one-way valve 36. The elastic valve 35 or the gravity one-way valve 36 can flow the washing water in the washing tub from the water flowing channel 3 to the outside of the washing tub under the action of the high-speed rotation centrifugal force of the washing tub. The rotation speed of the high-speed rotation of the washing tub is not less than 80 r / min.
[0200] This invention also discloses a method for draining a washing machine with bidirectional washing capabilities, such as... Figure 40 As shown, the drum washing machine includes a washing tub 1, and a water flow channel 3 is provided on the washing tub 1. One end of the water flow channel 3 is connected to the washing tub 1, and a drainage structure 4 is provided at the connection between the washing tub and the water flow channel 3. The remaining positions are without holes. The other end of the water flow channel 3 is formed outside the washing tub. The projection of the water flow channel 3 onto a circle with the central axis of the washing tub as the center is arc-shaped or circular. The angle formed by the two ends of the water flow channel 3 and the central axis of the washing tub on the circular projection of the washing tub 1 is α. The angle formed by the two ends of the washing water surface in the washing tub 1 and the central axis of the washing tub on the circular projection of the washing tub 1 during washing is β. α≧β. In order to more clearly explain the working principle of the washing machine of the present invention, the following definition is made: the direction of the water flow channel from the drainage structure 4 to the water throwing structure 5 is defined as the direction of the water flow channel 3.
[0201] During washing and rinsing, the rotation speed of the washing tub 1 is no more than 80 r / min, and the rotation direction of the washing tub 1 is the same as or opposite to that of the water flow channel 3. During drainage and spin-drying, the rotation direction of the washing tub 1 is opposite to that of the water flow channel 3, and the rotation speed of the washing tub increases. After the rotation speed of the washing tub 1 exceeds 80 r / min, the valve of the water flow channel opens under the action of centrifugal force.
[0202] The features and structures in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with the structures and features in other embodiments, but only if they are feasible to those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0203] Example 8
[0204] like Figures 40-42 As shown, this embodiment provides a washing tub for bidirectional washing. A water flow channel 3 is provided on the side wall of the washing tub, and an elastic valve 35 is provided at one end of the water flow channel 3 to realize bidirectional rotation washing of the washing tub. The water flow channel 3 has the same or similar structure as other embodiments.
[0205] The elastic valve 35 is located at the water-throwing structure 5 of the water flow channel 3. Specifically, the elastic valve 35 includes a return spring 31, a metal ball 32, a sealing gate 33, and a pivot pin 34. When the washing tub is stationary, the sealing gate 33 covers the outer surface of the water-throwing structure 5 of the water flow channel 3 under the action of the return spring 31. At this time, the elastic valve 35 is in the closed state, preventing water in the water flow channel 3 from flowing out of the water-throwing structure 5.
[0206] As some examples of the present invention, the water-throwing structure 5 can be a water-throwing hole formed at one end of the water flow channel 3, and the drainage structure 4 can be a drainage hole formed on the washing tub 1.
[0207] During washing, if the washing tub 1 rotates in the same direction as the water flow channel 3, the elastic valve 35 closes, and the water in the washing tub 1 is not discharged. Similarly, during washing, if the rotation speed of the washing tub 1 is below 80 r / min, and the rotation direction of the washing tub 1 is opposite to that of the water flow channel 3, the elastic valve 35 remains closed, and the water in the washing tub 1 is not discharged. In this embodiment, the elastic valve 35 enables the holeless washing tub washing machine to achieve bidirectional rotation washing.
[0208] During the dehydration process, the washing tub 1 rotates in the opposite direction to the water flow channel 3. The washing tub 1 starts to rotate in the opposite direction at high speed. When the rotation speed of the washing tub 1 is greater than 80 r / min, the centrifugal force generated by the metal ball 32 overcomes the tension of the return spring 31, and the sealing door 33 opens. The water in the washing tub 1 flows out from the drainage structure 4, to the water flow channel 3, and through the water throwing structure 5. The faster the washing tub 1 rotates, the greater the centrifugal force generated by the metal ball 32, the greater the opening angle of the sealing door 33, and the faster the water in the washing tub 1 flows out.
[0209] This embodiment provides a holeless washing tub, which enables bidirectional rotation washing, effectively prevents the washing machine from leaking, avoids secondary pollution of clothes, and achieves automatic drainage, making it of great value for widespread application.
[0210] The features and structures in the embodiments described in this invention can be combined with the structures and features in other embodiments, but only if they are feasible to those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0211] Example 9
[0212] like Figures 43-44 As shown, this embodiment provides a two-way washing tub, with a water flow channel 3 provided at the front panel 6 or 8 of the washing tub 1. When the water flow channel 3 is provided at the front panel 6 of the washing tub 1, a drainage structure 4 is provided on the front panel 6. The outer surface of the front panel 6 is covered with an end guide groove, and the inner surface of the end guide groove is provided with a semi-enclosed second water guiding structure 17. This second water guiding structure 17 and the front panel 6 of the washing tub 1 form the water flow channel 3.
[0213] Similarly, a semi-enclosed front panel water channel 6-3 with an inwardly recessed shape can be provided on the outer surface of the front panel 6 of the washing tub. The front panel cover plate 6-6 covers the outer surface of the front panel water channel 6-3. The front panel cover plate 6-6 and the semi-enclosed front panel water channel 6-3 on the outer surface of the front panel 6 of the washing tub form a water flow channel 3. One end of the front panel water channel 6-3 coincides with the drainage structure 4 on the front panel 6 of the washing tub, and the other end of the front panel water channel 6-3 forms a water-throwing structure 5 for the water flow channel 3. The water-throwing structure 5 is provided at the edge of the front panel 6 of the washing tub, and an elastic valve 35 is provided at the water-throwing structure 5. The structure and working principle of the elastic valve 35 are the same as in embodiment 7.
[0214] During washing, when the rotation speed of the washing tub 1 is below 80 r / min, the elastic valve 35 is closed regardless of whether the rotation direction of the washing tub 1 is the same as or opposite to that of the water flow channel 3, and the water in the washing tub 1 is not discharged. During spin-drying, when the rotation direction of the washing tub 1 is opposite to that of the water flow channel 3, and the rotation speed of the washing tub 1 is above 80 r / min, the elastic valve 35 is open, and the water in the washing tub 1 flows into the second water inlet structure 17 through the drain structure 4, and flows out from the water throw structure 5 as the washing tub 1 rotates.
[0215] The non-porous washing tub provided in this embodiment has the water flow channel located at the front or rear end of the washing tub, which effectively increases the cross-sectional area of the washing tub and the volume of clothes that can be accommodated.
[0216] The features and structures in the embodiments described in this invention can be combined with the structures and features in other embodiments, but only if they are feasible to those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0217] Example 10
[0218] like Figure 45 As shown, this embodiment provides a washing tub with bidirectional washing capability. A water flow channel 3 is provided on the side wall of the washing tub 1, and a one-way valve 36 is provided at one end of the water flow channel 3 to realize bidirectional rotation washing of the washing tub. The one-way valve 36 is located at the drainage structure 4 of the water flow channel 3, and the one-way valve 36 is designed to open from the inside out. Specifically, when the washing tub 1 is stationary, the one-way valve 36 is in the closed state without external force.
[0219] During washing, when the rotation speed of the washing tub 1 is less than 80 r / min and the rotation direction of the washing tub 1 is the same as that of the water flow channel 3, the water in the washing tub 1 will not be discharged. Similarly, during washing, when the rotation direction of the washing tub 1 is opposite to that of the water flow channel 3, due to the lower rotation speed of the washing tub 1, the centrifugal force on the one-way valve 36 is also smaller and it remains closed. At this time, the water in the washing tub 1 will not flow out. In this embodiment, the one-way valve 36 enables the holeless inner drum washing machine to achieve bidirectional rotation washing.
[0220] During the spin-drying process, the rotation direction of the washing tub 1 is opposite to that of the water flow channel 3. The washing tub 1 starts to rotate in the opposite direction at high speed. When the speed of the washing tub 1 is higher than 80 r / min, the one-way valve 36 opens from the inside of the washing tub to the outside due to the large centrifugal force. At this time, the water in the washing tub 1 flows out from the drainage structure 4, to the water flow channel 3, and through the water throwing structure 5, thus realizing the spin-drying of the washing machine.
[0221] This embodiment features a one-way valve on the inner drum, enabling bidirectional washing functionality in a washing machine with a holeless inner drum. Furthermore, the one-way valve has a simple structure, facilitating future maintenance and replacement.
[0222] The features and structures in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with the structures and features in other embodiments, but only if they are feasible to those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0223] Example 11
[0224] like Figures 46-48 As shown, in this embodiment, the non-perforated washing tub has one end of the drainage structure 4 of the water flow channel 3 extending into the interior of the washing tub 1 through the front plate 6. The water flow channel 3 is vertically inserted into the interior of the front plate 6, and inside the washing tub 1, the water flow channel 3 points towards the axis of the washing tub 1. The end of the water flow channel 3 inside the washing tub 1 is configured as the drainage structure 4, and a one-way valve 36 is installed on the drainage structure 4. During washing, when the rotation speed of the washing tub 1 is less than 80 r / min, and the rotation direction of the washing tub 1 is the same as that of the water flow channel 3, the water in the washing tub 1 will not be discharged; when the rotation direction of the washing tub 1 is opposite to that of the water flow channel 3, due to the lower rotation speed of the washing tub 1, the centrifugal force on the one-way valve 36 is also smaller, and it remains closed, so the water in the washing tub 1 will not flow out.
[0225] During the spin-drying process, the rotation direction of the washing tub 1 is opposite to that of the water flow channel 3. As the rotation speed of the washing tub 1 gradually increases, when the rotation speed of the washing tub 1 exceeds 80 r / min, the one-way valve 36 opens from the inside to the outside due to the large centrifugal force. At this time, the water in the washing tub 1 flows out from the drainage structure 4, through the water flow channel 3, and through the water throwing structure 5, thus realizing the spin-drying of the washing machine.
[0226] In summary, the one-way valve 36 is opened by the centrifugal force generated when the washing tub 1 rotates at high speed. Therefore, the direction of the drain structure 4 must be pointed towards the axis of the washing tub.
[0227] As some embodiments of the present invention, when one end of the drainage structure 4 of the water flow channel 3 extends into the interior of the washing tub 1 through the front plate 6 of the washing tub, the body of the water flow channel 3 can be set on the outer surface of the front plate 6 of the washing tub, or it can be set on the side wall of the washing tub 1 near the front plate 6 of the washing tub.
[0228] like Figure 35 As shown in the figure, as some embodiments of the present invention, the present invention also provides a bidirectional rotating drum washing machine, which includes the washing tub 1 and water flow channel 3 described above. A valve is provided at one end of the water flow channel 3. It also includes an outer tub 20, a housing 21 and a door cover 24. The outer tub 20 is concentrically arranged with the washing tub 1. The bottom of the outer tub 20 is provided with a drain outlet 25, and a drain outlet 26 is connected to the drain outlet 25. The drain outlet 26 extends through the housing 21. It also includes a water inlet channel, on which a rapid heating device is provided. The water inlet channel includes a water inlet hose 30 and a water spray hose 22. The water inlet hose 30 is located at the top inside the housing 21. One end of the water inlet hose 30 is installed on the housing 21 through a water inlet valve 19, and the other end is connected to the water spray hose 22 through a washing box 29 installed on the housing 21. It is installed at the front of the inner part of the box body 21 and mounted on the door cover 24 through the spray nozzle 23. The water sprayed from the spray nozzle 23 can pass through the water inlet 28 of the tub cover 10 and enter the washing tub 1; the spray nozzle 23 and the spray hose 22 are connected by a union joint.
[0229] The features and structures in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with the structures and features in other embodiments, but only if they are feasible to those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0230] Example 12
[0231] This embodiment provides a method for draining a washing machine that performs two-way washing, including the following steps:
[0232] Turn on the washing machine and select one of the following modes: washing, rinsing, or spin-drying.
[0233] During the washing process, the washing tub starts to rotate at a speed not exceeding 80 r / min. The valve on the water flow channel is closed, and the direction of rotation of the washing tub is the same as or opposite to the direction of the water flow channel 3. The water inlet valve 19 is opened, and tap water is injected into the washing tub through the water inlet channel until the liquid level is reached as set in the washing program. After the water is injected, the washing tub continues to rotate in both directions and begins washing.
[0234] During the dehydration process, the washing tub rotates unidirectionally in the opposite direction to the water flow channel 3. When the washing tub rotates at a speed greater than 80 r / min, the water flow channel valve opens, and the water in the washing tub flows out through the water flow channel.
[0235] Preferably, the angle α formed by the two ends of the water flow channel 3 and the central axis of the washing tub on the circular projection of the washing tub 1 ranges from 90° to 360°, and is more preferably from 100° to 180°.
[0236] Furthermore, the rinsing conditions are the same as the washing conditions.
[0237] The features and structures in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with the structures and features in other embodiments, but only if they are feasible to those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0238] The bidirectional washing machine drainage method provided in this embodiment prevents water from flowing between the washing tub and the outer tub during the washing process, thus saving water and avoiding secondary pollution of clothes. It also achieves the effect of water-free bidirectional rotation washing in a holeless inner drum washing machine.
[0239] Example 13
[0240] like Figures 49 As shown, this embodiment provides a washing machine including an inclined washing tub. A water flow channel 3 is provided on the circumference 7 of the washing tub near the rear plate 8 of the washing tub. Alternatively, a water flow channel 3 is provided on the rear plate 8 of the washing tub near the circumference 7 of the washing tub. The structure or features of the water flow channel 3 are the same as those in other embodiments.
[0241] A flexible valve 35 is provided at one end of the water flow channel 3. The flexible valve is used to rotate the washing tub in both directions for washing. The flexible valve 35 has the same structure or features as the flexible valves in other embodiments.
[0242] The elastic valve 35 is arranged at the water throwing structure 4 of the water flowing channel 3, and specifically, the structure of the elastic valve 35 comprises a reset spring 31, a metal ball 32, a door 33 and a rotating pin 34.
[0243] In the washing condition, if the rotating direction of the washing tub 1 is the same as that of the water flowing channel 3, the elastic valve 35 is closed, and the water in the washing tub 1 is not discharged.
[0244] In the washing condition, if the rotating direction of the washing tub 1 is the same as that of the water flowing channel 3, the elastic valve 35 is closed, and the water in the washing tub 1 is not discharged.
[0245] Preferably, when the water flowing channel 3 is arranged at the position close to the rear plate 8 of the washing tub 1, the valve on the water flowing channel 3 can be arranged as a one-way valve 36, and the one-way valve 36 is arranged at the end of the water flowing channel 3 close to the water discharging structure 5.
