AI Technical Summary
In existing multi-tube washing machines, when the baffle rotates with the air splitter, the friction between the seal and the side wall of the air splitter shell causes the seal to wear, making it impossible to effectively seal the air splitter chamber support, resulting in poor sealing effect.
A air partition assembly is designed, including a air partition shell, a first air partition frame and a second air partition frame. The second air partition frame can be moved radially with respect to the first air partition frame in the air partition chamber, adjust the position of the baffle, and avoid friction between the seal and the side wall of the air partition shell.
By reducing the friction between the seal and the side wall of the air divider shell, the wear of the seal is reduced, the sealing effect is improved, and the service life of the air divider assembly is extended.
