AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing washing machines, the filter device is integrated into the drainage pump, resulting in high development costs and low reliability, making it difficult to effectively filter the microplastic fibers generated during the washing process.

Method used

By using the kinetic energy of the washing water itself to drive the agitator in the filter device, the filter device is independently arranged to avoid its integration into the pump, thereby reducing development costs and improving filtration efficiency.

Benefits of technology

The efficient filtration of microplastic fibers in the washing water is achieved, which improves filtration efficiency, reduces development costs, and avoids the reliability problems caused by the integration of the filter device into the pump.

Abstract

The invention discloses a washing machine. The washing machine comprises a housing; the washing cylinder is provided with a water outlet; the filtering device comprises a water collecting tank, a filtering piece and a water wheel, a water collecting cavity is formed in the water collecting tank, the filtering piece comprises a filter element with one end open and a sealing cover, the filter element is arranged in the water collecting cavity, and an annular cavity allowing washing water to flow is formed between the filter element and the inner wall of the water collecting cavity; the water wheel is rotatably arranged in the sealing cover, a water inlet facing the water wheel is formed in the sealing cover, the water inlet is communicated with the water outlet, and washing water discharged from the water outlet impacts the water wheel through the water inlet to push the water wheel to rotate, so that the stirrer is driven to rotate, and the water wheel is driven to rotate. The stirring device is used for stirring the washing water in the filter element, so that the washing water is filtered into the annular cavity through the filter element. Kinetic energy of washing water can be used as a driving source to drive the stirrer in the filtering device, so that the filtering device is independently arranged, and the development cost is reduced.
