Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of outdoor products, and in particular to a washing machine faucet with an automatic water-stopping module. Background Art

[0002] In everyday life, hoses are often connected to faucets to direct water to other devices, depending on the environment. For example, a washing machine requires a hose connected to the faucet to direct water into the machine. However, if the hose becomes detached from the faucet while the washing machine is in use, water will continue to flow, resulting in a waste of water resources.

[0003] Chinese patent application No. 201621176642.8 discloses a new water-stop faucet for a washing machine. The water-stop plug is connected to the water stop by a spring, which can automatically seal the water after the hose falls, effectively preventing water leakage.

[0004] However, when the above technical solution is actually used, it can only stop the water flow at the outlet of the faucet in time. In actual applications, the faucet may be in the form of a three-way or four-way faucet to gather multiple water flows, such as the gathering of cold water and hot water. Therefore, the above solution can only achieve timely water stopping at the main outlet, and other channels cannot be closed in time. Then, if there is laundry detergent in one of the channels, the laundry detergent will be mixed with the water source through the unclosed channel, affecting water safety.

[0005] Provided is a washing machine faucet with an automatic water-stopping module capable of quickly closing multiple water inlets when a hose falls off. Summary of the Invention

[0044] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0045] Reference Figure 1-16 , a washing machine faucet 1 with an automatic water stop module, comprising:

[0046] A washing machine faucet 1 with an automatic water stop module, the faucet 1 having a water inlet section 11 and a water outlet section 12; a handle 13 is provided on the faucet 1, and the handle 13 is used to control whether the water outlet section 12 can discharge water; the setting of the handle 13 is based on the existing technology and can refer to the handle 13 on a common faucet, which will not be elaborated here.

[0047] A first water-stop assembly 2 is provided at the water outlet section 12. The first water-stop assembly 2 includes a water-stop core 21, which is mounted at the water outlet section 12 and can be moved upward to a first position or downward to a second position relative to the water outlet section 12. The water-stop core 21 is partially located within the faucet 1 and partially located outside the faucet 1. A water outlet channel 211 is formed on the water-stop core 21. When the water-stop core 21 is in the first position, the water outlet channel 211 opens the water outlet section 12; when the water-stop core 21 is in the second position, the water outlet channel 211 seals the water outlet section 12. A compression spring 22 is provided in the faucet 1, located above the water-stop core 21. One end of the compression spring 22 abuts the inner wall of the faucet 1, and the other end abuts the water-stop core 21. The compression spring 22 applies a downward force to the water-stop core 21. The first position of the water-stop core 21 is above the second position. The compression spring 22 is used to maintain the water-stop core 21 in the second position, where it forms a seal against the outlet section 12. When the hose on the washing machine is connected to the outlet section 12, the water-stop core 21 moves upward to the first position, ensuring proper drainage from the outlet section 12. If the hose becomes detached, the compression spring 22 forces the water-stop core 21 downward, causing it to move to the second position, where it seals the outlet section 12 and prevents leakage.

[0048] The faucet 1 also has an external water inlet 14; an external water inlet pipe 3 is mounted at the external water inlet 14. A water pump is mounted on the external water inlet pipe 3, and the water pump's outlet section 12 is connected to the external water inlet pipe 3. The water pump's outlet section 12 is in communication with a container, allowing a liquid to enter the faucet 1 through the external water inlet pipe 3. The container is used to hold the liquid. The liquid can be hot water or desalinated laundry water, which is a mixture of laundry liquid and water. Desalinated laundry water is preferably used in this embodiment.

[0049] The faucet 1 is provided with a second water-stop assembly 4, which is used to open and close the water inlet section 11 and the external water port 14 and the water outlet section 12 at the same time. The second water-stop assembly 4 includes: a clamping block 41, which is provided on the outer surface of the water outlet section 12. A baffle 42 is provided at the external water port 14; a chute 15 is formed on the faucet 1, and the chute 15 is connected to the external water port 14; the baffle 42 is inserted into the chute 15 and can slide in the chute 15. A transmission member 43 is provided between the clamping block 41 and the baffle 42, and the transmission member 43 is used to form a transmission between the clamping block 41 and the baffle 42 so that the baffle 42 moves away from the water inlet section 11 when the clamping block moves away from the water outlet section 12. The transmission member 43 is a rod-shaped structure.

[0050] A tray 44 is installed at the outlet section 12. Tray 44 has multiple grooves, and a transmission member 43 is located in one of the grooves. A rotating shaft 45 is fixedly mounted on the transmission member 43 and is rotatably connected to tray 44, allowing the transmission member 43 to rotate about a fixed axis. This also creates a lever structure between the pressure block 41, the transmission member 43, and the baffle 42. The transmission member 43 is hingedly connected to the baffle 42, which in turn is hingedly mated to the pressure block 41. A torsion spring 46 is mounted on the rotating shaft 45, which forces the pressure block 41 against the outer surface of the outlet section 12. When the hose is installed on the water outlet, the clamping block 41 will abut the hose, which is equivalent to enlarging the diameter of the water outlet section 12 in disguise, and then forcing the clamping block 41 to move away from the water outlet, so that the clamping block 41 is the active end and the baffle 42 is the driven end. The clamping block 41 drives the baffle 42 to move through the transmission member 43. An outlet is formed on the baffle 42 to ensure that the external water outlet 14 can only be opened when the baffle 42 moves away from the water inlet section 11 until the outlet coincides with the external water outlet 14. After the clamping block 41 is away from the water outlet section 12, it can drive the baffle 42 to move to the position where the outlet coincides with the external water outlet 14, thereby opening the external water outlet 14 and allowing the liquid in the external water pipe to enter the water nozzle 1. When the hose falls off, the water outlet section 12 becomes thinner, which in turn causes the compression block 41 to move closer to the water outlet section 12, causing the baffle 42 to move. The movement of the baffle 42 will cause the outlet to no longer overlap with the external water inlet 14, thereby preventing the external water pipe from supplying water to the faucet 1.

[0051] In other embodiments, a threaded block 47 is provided in the groove, and the threaded block 47 is fixedly connected to the tray 44. The rotating shaft 45 passes through the threaded block 47 and contacts the inner wall of the groove, so that the rotating shaft 45 is rotatably connected to the tray 44. A threaded cover 48 is threadedly mounted on the threaded block 47, and the middle of the threaded cover 48 is open so that the threaded cover 48 does not contact the rotating shaft 45. A first contact portion 471 is formed on the threaded cover 48, and a second contact portion 481 is formed on the transmission member 43. The first contact portion 471 and the second contact portion 481 are outwardly protruding physical structures. One end of the torsion spring 46 abuts against the first contact portion 471, and the other end abuts against the second contact portion 481. By rotating the threaded cap 48, the torsion spring 46 can be pre-tightened, which makes it easier to install the torsion spring 46. After installing the torsion spring 46, the threaded cap 48 is rotated to increase the torsional deformation of the torsion spring 46 and the torque of the torsion spring 46. Since the tray 44 is fixed and the transmission member 43 can rotate, the torsional force on the transmission member 43 from the rotation of the torsion spring 46 is greatly increased. The rotating shaft 45 is located at a quarter of the position of the transmission member 43 and is closer to the pressing block, which makes the movement stroke of the baffle 42 many times that of the pressing block 41. This makes the movement stroke of the baffle 42 greater than the diameter of the external water inlet 14, and thus can normally achieve the opening of the outlet and the external water inlet 14 completely overlapping and the closing of the outlet and the external water inlet 14 completely non-overlapping. A rubber sleeve is installed between the threaded cap 48 and the inner wall of the groove, and the two ends of the rubber sleeve respectively abut against the threaded cap 48 and the inner wall of the groove. The rubber sleeve can be deformed and can apply force to the threaded cover 48 in the reverse direction, thereby increasing the pre-tightening force between the threaded cover 48 and the threaded block 47, so that the threaded cover 48 is subjected to a larger friction force after rotation and the rotation angle can be fixed, thereby better providing support for one end of the torsion spring 46.

[0052] In other embodiments, a filter cartridge 5 and a pipe section 6 for inputting water into the water inlet section 11 are provided at the water inlet section 11; the pipe section 6 is connected to the water source. The filter cartridge 5 is sleeved on the pipe section 6 and the water inlet section 11; two filter plates 51 are installed in the filter cartridge 5; the filter cartridge 5 and the filter plate 51 form a filter chamber 52, in which water filter particles are placed. The water filter particles are used to filter water. The water filter particles are spherical, specifically any one or more of activated carbon particles, steel balls, glass balls or ceramic balls. The water filter particles can filter water to a certain extent, and at the same time, the friction caused by the continuous collision between the water filter particles and the water inlet pipe or the inner wall of the filter plate and between the water filter particles can cause the water flow and the water filter particles to sway continuously to consume energy and reduce vibration.

[0053] In other embodiments, a raised portion 53 is formed on the filter plate 51 and inserted into the water inlet section 11. The outer surface of the raised portion 53 abuts and seals against the inner wall of the water inlet section 11. A water control plate 54 is slidably mounted in the water inlet section 11, and a plurality of through-holes 541 are formed in the water control plate 54. The projections of the through-holes 541 on the end surface of the water control plate 54 are completely within the projections of the raised portion 53 on the end surface of the water control plate 54. When the water control plate 54 abuts the raised portion 53, the through-holes 541 are sealed, thereby closing the water inlet section 11. When the water control plate 54 is separated from the raised portion 53, water can flow through the water control plate 54 through the through-holes 541, thereby opening the water inlet section 11. An abutting surface 55 is formed in the water inlet section 11, and an elastic member 56 is installed between the abutting surface 55 and the water control plate 54 to enable the water control plate 54 to move away from the raised portion 53 and open the water inlet section 11.

[0054] In other embodiments, the elastic member 56 is a conical spring; the large end of the elastic member 56 abuts against the abutting surface 55 , and the small end abuts against the water control plate 54 .

[0055] In other embodiments, a push rod 7 is mounted on the end of the baffle 42 near the water inlet section 11; the push rod 7 is close to the water control plate 54. The push rod 7 can also slide in the chute 15. When the external water inlet 14 is open, the baffle 42 and the push rod 7 are both away from the water inlet section 11, and the push rod 7 does not contact the water control plate 54. The water control plate 54, under the action of the elastic member 56, moves away from the protrusion 53, keeping the water inlet section 11 open. At this point, the water inlet section 11, the external water inlet pipe 3, and the water outlet section 12 are all in an open state. When the hose falls off, the water outlet section 12 is closed and the external water inlet pipe 3 is also closed. However, the closing of the external water inlet pipe 3 is caused by the movement of the baffle 42. The baffle 42 will move close to the water inlet section 11, and the push rod 7 will also move close to the water inlet section 11. The push rod 7 will contact the water control plate 54, and then the water control plate 54 will approach and abut against the raised portion 53, thereby achieving the closure of the water inlet section 11. At this time, the water outlet section 12, the water inlet section 11 and the external water inlet pipe 3 are all in a closed state.

[0056] In other embodiments, two clamping assemblies 8 are provided at the external water inlet 14, and the two clamping assemblies 8 clamp and fix the external water inlet pipe 3 on both sides. The clamping assembly 8 includes a support rod 81, which is fixed to the faucet 1. An arc-shaped locking plate 82 is mounted on the support rod 81, and the arc-shaped locking plate 82 is rotatably connected to the support rod 81. The arc-shaped plate can rotate around the support rod 81 to wrap around the external water inlet pipe 3 and move away from the external water inlet pipe 3. A locking groove 83 is defined in the arc-shaped locking plate 82, and the locking groove 83 is defined on the inner surface of the arc-shaped locking plate 82. A locking portion 84 protruding outward is formed on the outer surface of the external water inlet pipe 3. The locking portion 84 and the locking groove 83 can cooperate with each other, so that when the two arc-shaped locking plates 82 are connected to each other and wrap around the external water inlet pipe 3, the locking portion 84 is inserted into the locking groove 83 to limit the external water inlet pipe 3 in the vertical direction. A flexible clip 85 is mounted on one of the curved lock plates 82, while a slot 86 is defined on the other curved lock plate 82. A latching portion 87 is formed on the flexible clip 85 so that when the two curved lock plates 82 are connected, the latching portion 87 engages with the slot 86, locking the two curved lock plates 82. To replace the external water inlet pipe 3, the flexible clip 85 can be pried outward to disengage the slot 86, and then the curved lock plate 82 can be opened again.

[0057] In other embodiments, the water filter cartridge is formed with a receiving cavity, in which multiple sealing rings 9 are installed. The sealing rings 9 are used to seal the interface between the water filter cartridge and the water inlet section 11. A cartridge cover 91 is installed in the receiving cavity and is screwed to the water filter cartridge. The cartridge cover 91 presses the multiple sealing rings 9 together and limits their axial position.

[0058] The above descriptions are merely some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and illustrate the underlying technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention encompassed by the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the aforementioned technical features.
