Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of household appliance technology, and specifically relates to a washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing pulsator washer-dryer combos use heating elements (wires), including direct-vent pulsator washer-dryer combos and water-condensation pulsator washer-dryer combos. In direct-vent pulsator washer-dryer combos, the air between the outer casing and the water tank is heated by the heating elements (wires) driven by a fan and then blown into the water tank from the top cover. The moisture in the clothes in the water tank exchanges heat with the dry, hot air, absorbing heat and turning into steam, which then becomes humid air. The humid air either flows upward through the gaps in the top cover or flows downward through the gaps in the pulsator and is blown out through the drain pipe at the bottom of the water tank.

[0003] Currently, people have increasingly sophisticated functional requirements for washing machines, with separate washing and drying zones being the preferred feature. Traditional top-loading washing machines only fulfill the function of washing clothes. Although washer-dryer combos can wash and dry, they share a water tank for washing and drying, failing to achieve the purpose of separate washing and drying zones and potentially causing cross-contamination. This is especially true for small items such as underwear and towels, which are often washed separately from the main washing machine and have high health requirements. In addition, washing machines have low drying efficiency and poor drying effect for clothes in separate washing zones.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a washing machine that solves the problem that it is inconvenient for users to take out and / or store individual clothes in the storage space when using a pulsator washing machine.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0042] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown in this embodiment of the invention, a washing machine is described, comprising: a housing 100, an outer tub installed inside the housing 100, a water tank 102 installed in the outer tub with its axis forming an acute angle with or coinciding with the vertical direction, a pulsator disposed at the bottom of the water tank 102, and a motor 32 disposed at the lower part of the outer tub to drive the water tank 102 and / or the pulsator to rotate. The housing 100 has an opening at its upper part, and an openable and closable outer door is provided at the opening, allowing clothes to be placed into the water tank 102 through the outer door.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, a washing machine is introduced, including: a housing 100, a water tank 102 inside the housing 100, and a storage space 1 for separately placing clothes inside the housing 100. The storage space 1 is located on one side of the water tank 102, and the housing 100 is also provided with a door 200 for opening and closing the storage space 1. With the above configuration, when some clothes are washed in the water tank 102, the user can take them out separately from the water tank 102 and put them into the storage space 1 for individual care. This allows the pulsator washing machine to avoid sharing the same water tank 102, achieving the purpose of zoned washing and care. In traditional top-loading washing machines, clothes in the water tank 102 can only be cared for within the water tank 102 itself. This can lead to cross-contamination of the clothes during the care process, resulting in poor individual washing and care effects. However, in this embodiment of the invention, the top-loading washing machine is equipped with a separate storage space 1 for independently caring for clothes. The storage space 1 is separated from the water tank 102 and does not interfere with it, allowing users to perform healthy, partitioned washing and care, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, the casing 100 is equipped with a door 200 for opening and closing the storage space 1, providing convenient storage for clothes.

[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, a heating device 24 is provided inside the housing 100 to heat the clothes in the storage space 1; or, a heating device 24 is provided on the door 200 to heat the clothes in the storage space 1. This embodiment of the invention will focus on the heating device 24 provided on the door 200. When the door 200 is closed, the heating device 24 can dry and heat the clothes in the storage space 1.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, a movable door 200 is provided inside the housing 100. Preferably, the door 200 is located on the front side of the housing 100, and the heating chamber 2 protrudes from the side of the door 200 facing the storage space 1, with the heating chamber 2 near the bottom of the door 200. With this arrangement, the heating chamber 2 is located on one side of the door 200, which fully utilizes the effective space of the washing machine and improves space utilization. Simultaneously, when the door 200 is closed, the hot air flowing out of the heating chamber 2 can directly enter the storage space 1 to dry and heat the clothes, reducing the path of the hot air within the heating chamber 2 and improving drying efficiency.

[0048] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the door 200 has folded edges 201 on both sides that bend towards the water tank 102. These folded edges 201 form the side walls of the storage space 1, and the upper end of the storage space 1 and the side closest to the water tank 102 are open. Through this arrangement, the storage space 1 fully utilizes the effective space between the door 200 and the water tank 102, improving space utilization. Simultaneously, the folded edges 201 bending towards the water tank 102 form the side walls of the storage space 1, while the upper end of the storage space 1 and the side opposite the door 200 are open, facilitating the user to place clothes into the storage space 1. Preferably, the distance between the two folded edges 201 is less than the distance between the two side walls of the casing 100, so that when the washing machine door 200 is closed, the folded edges 201 will not affect the closing of the door 200.

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, the heating device 24 includes a heating chamber 2, which is formed by at least a portion of the door 200 and a sheet-like side plate 21. By setting the heating chamber 2 on one side of the door 200, the effective space of the washing machine is fully utilized, improving space utilization. The heating chamber 2 is located on the rear side of the door 200. The heating chamber 2 is a chamber formed by at least a portion of the folded edges 201 on both sides, the side plate 21, and the door 200. The side plate 21 has a sheet-like structure, with both ends connected. Multiple air outlets 22 are spaced apart at the upper end to introduce the heat generated by the electric heating tube 25 in the heating chamber 2 into the storage space 1.

[0050] When the door 200 is closed, the air outlet 22 connects to the storage space 1, allowing hot air from the heating chamber 2 to flow into the storage space 1. By providing the air outlet 22, hot air from the heating chamber 2 can flow out. Simultaneously, when the door 200 is closed, the connection between the air outlet 22 and the storage space 1 reduces the path of hot air flow, allowing it to directly enter the storage space 1. The location of the heating chamber 2 at the rear of the door 200 also facilitates maintenance. If the heating chamber 2 malfunctions, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire washing machine; only the door 200 needs to be removed for repair, simplifying the process.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, an ultraviolet lamp 23 is also installed on the top of the heating chamber 2. The ultraviolet lamp 23 shines into the storage space 1 and can sterilize and disinfect the clothes in the storage space 1. The ultraviolet lamp 23 is connected to the washing machine through a wire.

[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, the heating device 24 further includes an electric heating tube 25, which is coiled and fixed inside the heating chamber 2. Preferably, the electric heating tube 25 is coiled back and forth inside the heating chamber 2. The electric heating tube 25 is located in the middle of the heating chamber 2 and is coiled back and forth in a U-shape inside the heating chamber 2. The area covered by the coiled electric heating tube 25 is directly facing multiple air outlets 22, ensuring that the air passing through the electric heating tube 25 is heated evenly. This results in a better drying effect on the clothes when the air flows out through the air outlets 22, avoiding uneven heating of the clothes.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, the electric heating element 25 is connected to the main power supply of the washing machine via a wire. The wire runs from one side of the heating chamber 2 along the slide rail 5 to the main power supply. The slide rail 5 can prevent the wire from being exposed to the outside, reducing safety hazards. At the same time, the wire can extend or retract as the door 200 is opened or closed.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of the invention, the bottom of the housing 100 is further provided with a wind cavity 3, at least a portion of which is disposed inside the housing 100. The wind cavity 3 has a first opening 31, at least a portion of which faces upward. The wind cavity 3 is located at the bottom of the washing machine. The sidewall of the wind cavity 3 is semi-arc-shaped, and the first opening 31 is fan-shaped. When the door 200 is closed, the first opening 31 faces the heating chamber 2 and is connected to it. By providing the first opening 31, air from the wind cavity 3 can enter the heating chamber 2 through the first opening 31, be heated by the electric heating tube 25, and finally enter the storage space 1 through the air outlet 22.

[0055] The side plate 21 of the heating chamber 2 is provided with a notch 4. The side plate 21 is a one-piece structure, and its two ends are respectively connected to the folded edge 201. Preferably, the side plate 21 and the folded edge 201 are integrally formed. The notch 4 extends upward from the bottom of the heating chamber 2 and is connected to the air outlet 22 through the internal space of the heating chamber 2. The notch 4 forms the opening at the lower end of the heating chamber 2. Preferably, the width of the notch 4 is greater than the width of both ends of the side wall of the air cavity 3; the height of the notch 4 is greater than the height of the side wall of the air cavity 3. With the above configuration, when the door 200 is closed, the side wall of the air cavity 3 passes through the notch 4 first. As the door 200 gradually closes, the area of ​​the first opening 31 passing through the notch 4 becomes larger and larger. When the door 200 is closed, the air cavity 3, which is located outside the housing 100, is inside the heating chamber 2. The first opening 31 passes through the notch 4 and faces the heating chamber 2, connecting the air cavity 3 and the heating chamber 2. This ensures that all the air in the air cavity 3 enters the heating chamber 2 through the first opening 31.

[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, a motor 32 is also installed inside the air cavity 3. A fan wheel 33 is installed at one end of the motor 32. The fan wheel 33 is located inside the air cavity 3. The motor 32 can drive the fan wheel 33 to rotate, and the fan wheel 33 can drive the air in the air cavity 3 to be discharged upward from the first opening 31. When the door 200 is closed, the fan wheel 33 can drive the air in the air cavity 3 to be blown from the first opening 31 into the heating chamber 2.

[0057] An air inlet is also provided at the opposite end of the first opening 31. The air inlet is located at the bottom of the housing 100 and connects the external air to the air chamber 3. The motor 32 is installed at the bottom of the washing machine and has a protruding shaft at the top. The protruding shaft is equipped with a fan wheel 33 with a vertically extending axis. The motor 32 can drive the fan wheel 33 to rotate. When the fan wheel 33 rotates, the external air enters the air chamber 3 through the air inlet. The fan wheel 33 will discharge the air in the air chamber 3 from the first opening 31 and enter the heating chamber 2. The air entering the heating chamber 2 is first heated into high temperature air by the electric heating tube 25, and finally enters the storage space 1 from the air outlet 22 in the heating chamber 2 to dry and heat the clothes. At the same time as drying and heating, the ultraviolet lamp 23 on the top of the heating chamber 2 works to sterilize the clothes, thereby providing comprehensive care for the clothes.

[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the door 200 and the housing 100 are connected by multiple slide rails 5. Each slide rail 5 includes an inner rail 51 and an outer rail. The inner rail 51 is fixed to the door 200, and the outer rail is fixed to both sides of the housing 100. The door 200 can be opened or closed from the front of the housing 100 along the slide rails 5. The slide rails 5 between the door 200 and the housing 100 facilitate the user's opening and closing of the door 200.

[0059] The door 200 is connected to the housing 100 via a slide rail 5 to open / close the housing 100. The slide rail 5 includes an outer rail connected to the washing machine and an inner rail 51 connected to the door 200. The outer rail is fixedly connected to both sides of the housing 100, and the inner rail 51 is fixed to the door 200.

[0060] Furthermore, the housing 100 extends front to back, and the front and rear ends of the outer rail are located on the same side of the housing 100. In this invention, the two ends of the outer rail are fixed to the front and rear ends of the housing 100, respectively, while no fixed connection structure is provided in the middle part of the outer rail, thereby simplifying the structure of the outer rail. On the other hand, the inner wall of the washing machine is relatively thin, while the outer rail needs to bear the weight of the entire door 200. Therefore, in this invention, the outer rail is fixed to the housing 100 of the washing machine, thereby enhancing the stability of the outer rail and the door 200.

[0061] In this invention, the outer rail is a long strip structure. To fix the outer rail horizontally, both ends of the outer rail need to be supported upwards to restrict downward movement. Otherwise, the outer rail cannot be guaranteed to be in a horizontal position. Since the outer rail cooperates with the inner rail 51 and needs to support the weight of the door 200, movement on the outer rail can be restricted or not. In this invention, considering that the washing machine will shake during washing, preferably, the slide rails 5 are fixed to the washing machine with screws, and the number is no less than four.

[0062] In this embodiment of the invention, the slide rail 5 has wires running through it, and these wires connect the heating device 24 to the main power supply of the washing machine. By providing wires, the heating device 24 and the ultraviolet lamp 23 can be connected to the main power supply of the washing machine, ensuring a continuous power supply. In addition, having wires running through the slide rail 5 allows the wires to be concealed, preventing them from being exposed and reducing safety hazards.

[0063] In this embodiment of the invention, the upper end of the door 200 is equipped with a fixing post 6 protruding towards the water tank 102. The axis of the fixing post 6 is parallel to the opening and closing direction of the door 200. Multiple clothes hangers 7 are mounted on the fixing post 6, curving downwards. The multiple clothes hangers 7 on the fixing post 6 facilitate the placement of small garments on the hangers 7, and the curved and coiled arrangement of the hangers 7 maximizes the number of garments that can be placed.

[0064] In this embodiment of the invention, a push-lock assembly is also provided between the door body 200 and the housing 100, so as to change the locking state of the lock assembly after providing a push-locking external force to the door body 200, thereby locking or unlocking the door body 200 and the housing 100.

[0065] A spring assembly is also provided between the door body 200 and the housing 100 to provide the power to push the door body 200 out. A slide rail 5 is provided between the door body 200 and the housing 100 so that the door body 200 can be pushed and pulled open and closed along the slide rail 5; the slide rail 5 includes multiple pulleys that contact the door body 200 to reduce friction during the process of pulling out and pushing in the door body 200.

[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, after the user pushes the door 200 into the housing 100 along the slide rail 5, a pushing force is applied to the door 200 to lock the push-lock assembly, thus locking the door 200 inside the housing 100. When the user needs to put small clothes into the storage space 1, the door 200 needs to be opened. The user then applies a pushing force to the door 200 locked inside the housing 100, which unlocks the push-lock assembly. At the same time, the spring assembly provides an outward pushing force to the door 200, causing the door 200 to be pushed out along the slide rail 5 with the assistance of a pulley with low friction, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically opening and locking the door 200 under the pushing force.

[0067] By installing a door 200 on the washing machine that is controlled by a push-and-release lock and whose extension force is provided by a spring component, the door 200 can achieve automatic locking and push-and-release opening with only a small external force, thus enabling the door 200 to have a push-and-release opening and closing function. At the same time, by installing the door 200 in the housing 100 via a slide rail 5 that cooperates with the pulley, the displacement friction of the door 200 is changed to sliding friction, which reduces the friction force during the pulling process of the door 200 and improves the smoothness of the push-and-release opening process of the door 200.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention introduces a washing machine. The difference between the washing machine and the above embodiment is that the heating device 24 is disposed inside the housing 100, and the heating device 24 dries and heats the clothes in the storage space 1.

[0070] The heating device 24 includes a heating chamber 2, which is surrounded by parallel side wall plates 8 and at least a portion of the sides of the housing 100. The side wall plates 8 are sheet-like materials, preferably integrally formed with the housing 100. The upper and lower ends of the heating chamber 2 are interconnected, and multiple air outlets 22 are spaced apart at the upper end. The bottom of the heating chamber 2 is interconnected with the air cavity 3 at the bottom of the housing 100. The heating device 24 also includes an electric heating tube 25, which is reciprocated within the heating chamber 2.

[0071] The washing machine operates as follows: When the user places clothes that need to be washed separately on the clothes rack, the door 200 is closed, the heating device 24 is facing the clothes in the storage space 1, the fan in the air cavity 3 starts to work, the impeller 33 rotates, causing the air outside the housing 100 to enter the air cavity 3 through the air inlet. Since the air cavity 3 and the heating chamber 2 are interconnected, the air in the air cavity 3 directly enters the heating chamber 2. The air is heated by the electric heating tube 25 and enters the storage space 1 through the air outlet 22 to dry and heat the clothes.

[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, the heating device 24 and the storage space 1 are located on the same side of the water tank 102. The heating device 24 can dry and heat the clothes in the storage space 1 without waiting for the door 200 to close. At the same time, the heating device 24 is located on the housing 100, which can reduce the length of the wire between the heating device 24 and the main power supply of the washing machine and reduce safety hazards.

[0073] Example 3

[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, a washing machine is introduced, which also has an aromatherapy function, including a heating chamber 2 and an aromatherapy device. The aromatherapy device is fixed in the heating chamber 2 and delivers the aromatherapy in the form of atomized droplets or vapor to the storage space 1 to perfume the clothes in the storage space 1.

[0075] Specifically, the aromatherapy device is fixed inside the heating chamber 2, with a door 200 for easy replacement of the aromatherapy device.

[0076] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the aromatherapy device includes an aromatherapy box, an aromatherapy channel, and a valve. The aromatherapy box is fixed inside the heating chamber 2 and contains fragrance. The aromatherapy box is connected to the air inside the heating chamber 2 through the aromatherapy channel. The aromatherapy channel is equipped with a valve to control the entry and exit of the fragrance. At the same time, the valve can prevent water in the storage space 1 from entering the aromatherapy device. The motor 32 in the air chamber 3 works to blow the aromatic gas generated by the aromatherapy into the storage space 1.

[0077] In this embodiment of the invention, the process for a user to wash and care for small garments is as follows:

[0078] By pushing, the door 200 is opened, small clothes are hung on the hanger 7 in the storage space 1, and then the door 200 is pushed into the housing 100 to complete the loading of clothes. At this time, the motor 32 in the air chamber 3 starts to work, driving the fan wheel 33 to rotate, blowing the air in the air chamber 3 into the heating chamber 2 through the first opening 31. At this time, the air entering the heating chamber 2 is turned into high temperature gas by the heating device 24. At the same time, the aromatic gas in the fragrance diffuser enters the storage space 1 together with the high temperature gas through the air outlet 22. The high temperature gas dries and heats the clothes, and the aromatic gas fragrances the clothes, thereby completing the individual washing and care treatment of clothes, improving the user experience, and also achieving the purpose of healthy zoned washing and care.

[0079] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
