[0002] Most of the small washing machines on the market currently have a single washing tub and cannot distinguish the cleaning space. If you want to wash different clothes / fabrics separately, you need to clean the washing tub or the washing machine before washing the next batch. But fundamentally, you are still using the same space to wash different clothes, and certain cross-infection is inevitable. A small number of washing machines are equipped with two washing tubs, and the two washing tubs are equipped with two sets of lids and rollers. After use, the other washing tubs can only be placed aside and cannot be stored, which takes up a lot of space and increases material costs.

[0003] The existing small washing machine is composed of two major parts: a base and a washing tub (two sets). The washing tub includes a top cover, a bottom impeller and a transmission structure. The washing tub assembly can be completely disassembled and replaced with another set of washing tubs, so that different clothes can be washed with different washing tubs. However, the existing double-tub small washing machine does not have a drain function. After washing, the clothes are transferred to a washing board or other containers are used to manually replace the laundry waste water.

[0087] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the accompanying drawings, for the sake of clarity, the thickness of the layers and regions may be enlarged, and the same reference numerals are used to represent the same devices, and thus their descriptions will be omitted.

[0088] Most small washing machines on the market currently use a single washing tub design, which means that when washing different types of clothes, the washing tub needs to be manually cleaned and disinfected before the next round of washing. Although this can avoid a certain degree of cross-contamination, in essence, it still uses the same washing space, and it is difficult to completely avoid the risk of cross-infection.

[0089] A few small washing machines adopt a double-barrel design, which is designed to solve the problem of classified washing of different types of clothes. However, this design usually means that each set of washing tubs (including the washing tub itself, the top cover and the bottom pulsator) needs to be configured independently and completely, which not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also after use, the two complete washing tubs cannot be effectively stored, resulting in a large footprint, which is a big problem for limited space.

[0090] Even for some small washing machines equipped with double washing tubs, the problem of storage between the washing tubs and between the washing tub and the base after use has not been effectively solved. The washing tub can usually only be placed alone and cannot be compactly stored, which not only wastes space but also may affect the cleanliness of the home environment.

[0091] Direct contact with wet clothes or fabrics after the washing process is completed can be inconvenient, especially in washing machines that are not equipped with a drain function. Manually changing the laundry waste water after transferring the clothes to a washboard or using other containers after the wash process is completed not only adds to the complexity of the washing process.

[0092] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a retractable washing machine to solve the problem that the prior art double-tub small washing machine has no drainage function.

[0093] Combination Figure 1 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, a retractable washing machine is provided, comprising: a base 3, a first washing tub 2, a second washing tub 4 and a water filter assembly 5. The base 3 is equipped with a driving module, the first washing tub 2 is detachably connected to the base 3, and the first washing tub 2 has a first washing chamber 221 for loading clothes. Figure 2 and 3As shown, the first washing tub 2 has a first working position connected to the base 3, and the first washing tub 2 has a first disassembly position separated from the base 3. The second washing tub 4 is detachably connected to the base 3, and the second washing tub 4 has a second washing chamber 411 for loading clothes, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second washing tub 4 has a second working position connected to the base 3, and the second washing tub 4 has a second disassembly position separated from the base 3. The second washing tub 4 has a storage position, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the second washing tub 4 is in the storage position, at least part of the second washing tub 4 is in the first washing cavity 221; the water filter assembly 5 has an unlocking position and a locking position. When the water filter assembly 5 is in the locking position, the water filter assembly 5 can selectively cooperate with at least one of the second barrel body 41 and the first barrel body 22. Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, through the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 with different washing cavity sizes, after use, the second washing tub 4 can be placed in the first washing tub 2 for storage, saving space, and solving the problem that the double-barrel small washing machine in the prior art has no drainage function.

[0094] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the first washing tub 2 includes a first barrel body 22 and a first impeller assembly 23, the first barrel body 22 having a first cleaning chamber 221; the first impeller assembly 23 is installed in the first cleaning chamber 221, and the first impeller assembly 23 can be detachably connected to the driving module. By adopting the first impeller assembly 23, it can be detachably connected to the driving module, which means that the most suitable impeller assembly can be selected according to different types of fabrics or clothes. For example, a softer cleaning mode may be required for light and thin clothes, while a stronger stirring effect may be required for heavy clothes. This design makes it possible to adapt to various cleaning needs and provides a more personalized cleaning solution. The detachable first impeller assembly 23 makes it easy to remove the impeller for cleaning or replacement, avoiding dirt and bacteria accumulated inside the impeller, extending the service life of the washing machine, and also reducing maintenance costs.

[0095] Furthermore, the first washing tub 2 further includes a handle 21, both ends of which are movably connected to the side of the first tub body 22. The design of the movably connected handle 21 allows the first washing tub 2 to be lifted at a natural and comfortable angle when the second washing tub 4 has a second disassembly position separated from the base 3, and provides a more stable grip whether it is horizontally moved or vertically lifted, reduces the risk of slipping or losing the hand during operation, and improves safety and convenience during use.

[0096] like Figure 8As shown, the base 3 includes a base body 33, a knob 38 is installed on one side of the base body 33, a crystal sticker 37 is attached to the knob 38, a lower base 36 is installed at the bottom of the base body 33, and a driving module is installed on the base body 33. The specific connection relationship between the driving module and the first impeller assembly 23 is as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the driving module includes a pulsator fixing bolt 34, a first transmission shaft 31 is installed at the bottom of the first barrel 22, the pulsator fixing bolt 34 and the first pulsator assembly 23 are limitedly matched to pass through the first transmission shaft 31 and be threadedly connected with one end of the second rotating shaft 35, the other end of the second rotating shaft 35 is provided with a spline groove, one end of the third rotating shaft 32 is provided with a spline portion and connected with the other end of the second rotating shaft 35 with a spline groove, and the other end of the third rotating shaft 32 is connected with the driving assembly installed inside the base body 33. Therefore, the driving assembly can drive the first pulsator assembly 23 to rotate by rotating the third rotating shaft 32, the second rotating shaft 35 and the pulsator fixing bolt 34.

[0097] In an exemplary embodiment, Fig.10 As shown, the second washing tub 4 includes: a second barrel body 41 and a second impeller assembly 42, the second barrel body 41 has the second cleaning chamber 411, the second impeller assembly 42 is installed in the second cleaning chamber 411, the second impeller assembly 42 can be detachably connected to the driving module, and the connection method of the second impeller assembly 42 to the driving module is the same as the connection method of the driving module to the first impeller assembly 23, so it is not repeated.

[0098] In this embodiment, the second impeller assembly 42 can be detachably connected to the driving module, and the most suitable impeller assembly can be selected according to different types of fabrics or clothes, so as to adapt to various cleaning needs and provide a more personalized cleaning solution. The detachable second impeller assembly 42 makes it easy to remove the impeller for cleaning or replacement, avoiding dirt and bacteria accumulated inside the impeller, extending the service life of the washing machine, and also reducing maintenance costs.

[0099] like Fig.11As shown, the water filter assembly 5 includes: a water filter ring 51 and a water filter plate 52. The water filter ring 51 has a water filter space. The water filter ring 51 is provided with a locking structure that matches at least one of the second barrel body 41 and the first barrel body 22. The water filter plate 52 is installed in the water filter space, and the water filter plate 52 is connected to the water filter ring 51. In this embodiment, the water filter ring 51 is designed with a water filter space, and the water filter plate 52 installed inside it can effectively intercept the clothes in the washing tub. The locking structure installed on the water filter ring 51 enables the water filter assembly to be firmly fixed on the second barrel body 41 or the first barrel body 22, preventing the water filter assembly from shifting or loosening due to the vibration of the second impeller assembly 42 or the first impeller assembly 23 during operation, and also avoiding the water filter plate 52 from falling or being damaged during use, and also preventing the second barrel body 41 from shaking in the first barrel body 22 when stored.

[0100] like Fig.12 As shown, the locking structure includes: a first protruding part 512, a plurality of first protruding parts 512, and a plurality of first protruding parts 512 are arranged at intervals along the side wall of the water filter ring 51 in the circumferential direction, and a first slot part 222 matching with the plurality of first protruding parts 512 is arranged in the first barrel body 22. The water filter ring 51 can be movably arranged relative to the first slot part 222 of the first barrel body 22 through the plurality of first protruding parts 512, so that the water filter ring 51 can switch between the locked position and the unlocked position. With this embodiment, the first protruding part 512 can be aligned or misaligned with the first slot part 222 through simple operation, thereby realizing the rapid locking or unlocking of the water filter assembly. This design avoids the complicated steps or the need for special tools that may exist in the traditional locking mechanism, and greatly improves the convenience of operation. When the first impeller assembly 23 rotates, the water filter ring 51 is firmly locked in the first barrel body 22 through the cooperation of the first protruding part 512 and the first slot part 222. This locking method ensures that the water filter component does not shift or fall off during the cleaning process.

[0101] Further, the locking structure further includes: a second protruding part 513, the second protruding part 513 is multiple, the multiple second protruding parts 513 are arranged with a distance relative to the multiple first protruding parts 512 along the radial direction of the water filter ring 51, and the second barrel body 41 is provided with a second slot part 412 matched with the multiple second protruding parts 513. The water filter ring 51 can be movably arranged relative to the second slot part 412 of the second barrel body 41 through the multiple second protruding parts 513, so that the water filter ring 51 can switch between the locking position and the unlocking position; when the second washing tub 4 is in the storage position, the water filter ring 51 can be matched with the first barrel body 22 and the second barrel body 41 at the same time. The locking structure is further optimized, and the stable locking of the water filter assembly in the second washing tub 4 is achieved through the cooperation of the second protruding part 513 and the second slot part 412.

[0102] In this embodiment, when the second washing tub 4 is in the storage position, the water filter ring 51 can be matched with the first barrel body 22 and the second barrel body 41 at the same time. In the storage state, the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 are firmly connected, and the spatial stability of the two washing tubs in the storage state is maintained.

[0103] Further, the water filter ring 51 comprises: an inner ring 514, a first connecting section 515, a first annular body 516 and an outer ring component section. The inner surface of a part of the inner ring 514 is connected to the water filter plate 52; the first connecting section 515, the first end of the first connecting section 515 is connected to the inner ring 514, and the second end of the first connecting section 515 is arranged away from the inner ring 514 in the radial direction. The first annular body 516, the first end of the first annular body 516 is connected to the second end of the first connecting section 515, the first annular body 516 is arranged opposite to the inner ring 514, the second protruding component 513 is installed between the first annular body 516 and the inner ring 514, and the second protruding component 513 is connected to the inner ring 514, the end of the second protruding component 513 is arranged at a distance from the first annular body 516, and the second protruding component 513 and the outer surface of the inner ring 514 form a first limiting structure. The outer ring component segment is connected to the first annular body 516, the first protruding component 512 is connected to the outer ring component segment, and a second limiting structure is formed between part of the first protruding component 512 and the outer ring component segment. This design forms a multi-layer and interrelated structure through the sequential connection of the inner ring 514, the first connecting segment 515 and the first annular body 516. This multi-layer connection method enables the water filter ring 51 to better maintain its structural integrity when facing the impact of internal water flow, vibration during machine operation, etc., and reduces the possibility of loosening or deformation of components.

[0104] In order to further enhance the stability of the multi-layer connection, the outer ring component segment includes: a second connecting segment 517 and a second annular body 518, the first end of the second connecting segment 517 is connected to the second end of the first annular body 516, and the second end of the second connecting segment 517 is arranged radially away from the first annular body 516. The first end of the second annular body 518 is connected to the second end of the second connecting segment 517, the second annular body 518 is arranged opposite to the first annular body 516, the first protruding component 512 is connected to the outer surface of the second annular body 518, and a part of the first protruding component 512 and the outer surface of the second annular body 518 form a second limiting structure, thereby improving the stability of the entire water filter ring 51.

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, the water filter ring 51 is operated to rotate a preset angle along the circumference of the first washing tub 2 or the second washing tub 4 so that the locking structure is located in the locking position or the unlocking position. In this way, the locking switching mechanism that rotates the locking structure of the water filter ring 51 along the first preset direction by a preset angle ensures that the disassembly and assembly operation of the water filter assembly is simple and efficient, and also simplifies the operation process.

[0106] In order to further prevent the filter ring from loosening or detaching due to accidental vibration or improper operation of the filter assembly, Fig.13 As shown, the preset angle is A, wherein 12.5°≤A≤77.4°, and the preset angle A can be 12.5°, 77.4°, and 50°. Thus, by accurately rotating at the preset angle and cooperating with the locking structure, a stable locking state is formed to maintain a tight connection between the components.

[0107] like Fig.14 As shown, the water filter plate 52 is arranged to extend along the circumference of the water filter ring 51, and the water filter plate 52 is provided with a water filter hole 521 connected with the second washing tub 4. It is possible to provide an effective filtering area in a limited space, and the water filter plate 52 is arranged to extend along the circumference of the water filter ring 51, thereby improving the overall stability and structural strength of the water filter assembly.

[0108] When using, Figure 15-18 As shown, after the first washing tub 2 is used, the handle 21 is lifted, and the water filter assembly 5 is separated from the first washing tub 2 and the base 3. At this time, the water filter assembly 5 is locked with the first washing tub 2, hooked on the inner side of the water filter ring 51, and drained through the water filter holes 521 on the water filter plate 52. After the second washing tub 4 is used, the second washing tub 4 is lifted with both hands, and the water filter assembly 5 is separated from the second washing tub 4 and the base 3, and directly hooked on the inner side of the water filter ring 51, and the second washing tub 4 is lifted to drain, and drained through the water filter holes 521 on the water filter plate 52.

[0109] In order to further facilitate lifting the second washing tub 4 for draining, a gripping portion 519 is provided on the outer wall of the water filter ring 51, and the gripping portion 519 is provided to protrude outwardly along the radial direction of the water filter ring 51. The design of the gripping portion 519 enables a more natural and labor-saving force to be applied when the gripping portion 519 is lifted for draining. Moreover, compared with other handles, it does not affect the overall size design of the washing machine, and does not occupy additional external operating space.

[0110] Furthermore, the gripping portion 519 has an annular flange, one end of the gripping portion 519 is connected to the second end of the second annular body 518, and the first protruding part 512 is located below the gripping portion 519. This design is more stable when gripping, less likely to slip, and improves the safety and reliability of operation. The flange can play a certain limiting role, and the annular flange can increase the overall strength and rigidity of the gripping portion, making it less likely to deform and extending its service life.

[0111] In an exemplary embodiment, one of the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 is provided with a first matching structure, and the other of the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 is provided with a second matching structure. When the second washing tub 4 is located at the storage position, the first matching structure and the second matching structure cooperate to limit at least one of the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4. Thus, when the second washing tub 4 is in the storage position, the position between it and the first washing tub 2 is ensured to be fixed, thereby enhancing the overall stability in the storage state, so as to ensure that the water filter ring 51 can rotate to fix the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 at the same time.

[0112] Furthermore, one of the first matching structure and the second matching structure is a groove, and the other is a protrusion. Fig.19 As shown, two protrusions 7 are provided at intervals along the circumference of the side wall on the outer side of the second washing tub 4, and two grooves 6 are provided at intervals along the circumference of the side wall on the inner side of the first washing tub 2. The two protrusions 7 and the two grooves 6 are provided correspondingly. When the second washing tub 4 is in the storage position, the two protrusions 7 and the two grooves 6 cooperate with each other, thereby ensuring that the water filter ring 51 can rotate to fix the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 at the same time.

[0113] Of course, the first matching structure and the second matching structure can be installed in other ways. For example, the first matching structure and the second matching structure can both be multiple magnetic components, and the multiple magnetic components are arranged at circumferential intervals along the side wall of the second washing tub 4. At the same time, the multiple magnetic components are arranged at circumferential intervals along the inner side wall of the first washing tub 2. It is only necessary to ensure that the position between the second washing tub 4 and the first washing tub 2 is relatively fixed.

[0114] Furthermore, the storable washing machine further comprises: a top cover 1, which is detachably connected to the water filter assembly 5. This can prevent the water in the washing tub from splashing outside during use, and prevent external dust from falling into the water filter assembly 5 and the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 after storage.

[0115] In an exemplary embodiment, Fig. 20As shown, a limiting ring 11 is circumferentially installed at the bottom of the top cover 1, and the limiting ring 11 is extended along the second preset direction. A limiting groove 511 is installed on the top of the water filter ring 51 to cooperate with the limiting ring 11. The limiting groove 511 is composed of a first annular body 516, a second connecting section 517 and a second annular body 518. Through the cooperation of the limiting ring and the limiting groove, not only the tight connection between the top cover 1 and the water filter assembly 5 is ensured, but also the extra space required for the connection is reduced, and the design is more compact, so that the top cover 1 can be correctly installed on the water filter assembly 5 during use, avoiding operational errors.

[0116] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0117] For ease of description, spatially relative terms, such as "on", "above", "on the upper surface of", "upper", etc., may be used here to describe the spatial position relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figures.

[0118] It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures.

[0119] For example, if a device in the drawings is turned over, a device described as “above” or “over the other devices or structures” would then be oriented “below” or “beneath the other devices or structures”.

[0120] Thus, the exemplary term "above" can encompass both an orientation of "above" and "below." The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
