[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the top-loading washing machine 1 of the present invention includes a washing machine body 11 with washing function disposed at the bottom and a first drying chamber 12 with drying function disposed at the top. The following mainly focuses on these two functional areas in detail.

[0043] See Figure 1The top-loading washing machine 1 of the present invention includes a washing machine cover 111 and a washing chamber 112. The washing machine cover 111 is closable and disposed above the washing machine body 11. When the washing machine cover 111 is opened ( Figure 1 (In its current state), it enters the space of the first drying chamber 12 located above. When the washing machine cover 111 is closed, it can be used as the bottom surface of the first drying chamber 12. The first drying chamber 12 is divided into three parts: the second drying chamber 121 located on the left, the third drying chamber 122 located on the lower right, and the heating and air supply chamber located on the upper right. A partition 123 is provided between the second drying chamber 121 on the left, the third drying chamber 122 on the right, and the heating and air supply chamber. A partition opening 1231 is provided on the partition 123. When the washing machine cover 111 is opened, the washing machine cover 111 can be used to close the partition opening 1231 (e.g., when the washing machine cover 111 is open). Figure 1 (as shown in the diagram) Similarly, when the washing machine top cover 111 is closed, the partition opening 1231 will also open accordingly. The above is an introduction to the washing machine body 11 and the first drying chamber 12 of the top-opening washing machine 1 of the present invention. Next, the three parts of the first drying chamber 12 will be described in detail.

[0044] Continue reading Figure 1 The three parts of the first drying chamber 12 of the top-loading washing machine 1 of the present invention will be described below. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the second drying chamber 121 will be described first. A drying door 1211 is provided on the side wall of the second drying chamber 121. After opening the drying door 1211, the washing machine lid 111 can be opened through the drying door 1211 to load clothes into the washing machine body 11. A clothes drying hook 1212 is also provided on the top of the second drying chamber 121. Meanwhile, in... Figure 1 A first drying air inlet 1213 and a first drying air outlet 1214 are also provided on the left side of the second drying chamber 121. The heating and air supply chamber includes a drying fan 124 and a heating module 125. A first air duct 126 is provided between the heating and air supply chamber and the second drying chamber 121. The air outlet of the first air duct 126 is connected to the first drying air inlet 1213. The drying fan 124 can blow the hot air from the heating module 125 into the second drying chamber 121 through the first air duct 126. A second air duct 127 is also provided between the heating and air supply chamber and the third drying chamber 122. The air outlet of the second air duct 127 is connected to the second drying air inlet 1222. The drying fan 124 can blow the hot air from the heating module 125 into the third drying chamber 122 through the second air duct 127.

[0045] In the above-described embodiment, during the use of the top-loading washing machine 1 of the present invention, firstly, the drying door 1211 on the side wall of the second drying chamber 121 is opened. After opening the drying door 1211, the washing machine top cover 111 is opened through the drying door 1211, and the washing machine top cover 111 enters the space of the second drying chamber 121. Then, clothes are placed into the washing machine body 11 and the washing machine top cover 111 is closed. After washing, the washed clothes are taken out and placed into the second drying chamber 121 and the third drying chamber 122 for drying. A clothes drying hook 1212 is provided in the second drying chamber 121, and a shoe drying hook 1221 is provided in the third drying chamber 122. The user can... The washed clothes and shoes are hung on the clothes drying hook 1212 and the shoes drying hook 1221 respectively. After the clothes and shoes are in place, the washing machine cover 111 is closed. At this time, the washing machine cover 111 is used as the bottom surface of the first drying chamber 12. The drying fan 124 and the heating module 125 are turned on. The drying fan 124 blows the hot air from the heating module 125 into the second drying chamber 121 and the third drying chamber 122 through the first air duct 126 and the second air duct 127, and then through the first drying air inlet 1213 and the second drying air inlet 1222 respectively. The hot air entering the second drying chamber 121 and the third drying chamber 122 is discharged from the first drying air outlet 1214 and the second drying air outlet 1223.

[0046] The advantages of the above-described embodiment are that by placing the first drying chamber 12 above the main body 11 of the washing machine and setting the top cover of the main body 11 and the bottom surface of the first drying chamber 12 as the same partition, the number of parts is reduced. At the same time, the space required for opening the top cover of the top-loading washing machine 1 is placed inside the first drying chamber 12, which reuses space and improves the utilization rate of space. The top-loading solution also eliminates the need to set up additional space on the top of the washing machine. Thus, the present invention solves the problem that the existing top-loading washing machine 1 cannot be well embedded in cabinets or walls, which is not conducive to the overall home decoration.

[0047] Regarding the aforementioned air inlet / outlet and drying structure, by setting up two drying chambers (second and third) and two drying channels (first and second) and drying air outlets, simultaneous drying and care of clothing and shoes can be achieved. Moreover, compared to a structure with only one set of air inlet / outlet and drying, the arrangement of the present invention has higher drying efficiency, better effect, and stronger practicality, and can bring a better user experience.

[0048] The main technical solutions of the present invention have now been fully described. The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
