Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly to a drum washing machine. Background Art

[0002] A drum washing machine includes a cabinet, an outer tub, and an inner tub. Generally, a soap dispenser is provided on the drum washing machine to put liquid detergent (such as laundry detergent) and powder detergent (such as washing powder) into the washing machine.

[0003] Currently, generally a cavity is provided in the soap dispenser, and the liquid detergent or powder detergent is put into the cavity in the soap dispenser, and then the detergent enters the washing machine along with the water flow. Currently, users have higher and higher requirements for the washing effect, and the washing effect can be improved by fully mixing the liquid detergent or powder detergent with water.

[0004] However, currently in some washing machines, only the pre-mixing of the liquid detergent and water or the pre-mixing of the powder detergent and water can be achieved separately, and the mixing effect of the detergent and water is poor, and the washing effect is not obvious. Therefore, the present application provides a drum washing machine. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the related art to some extent. For this reason,

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a drum washing machine is provided, including:

[0007] A cabinet;

[0008] An outer tub provided in the cabinet;

[0009] A drum provided in the outer tub and rotatable relative to the outer tub;

[0010] A soap dispenser slidably inserted into the cabinet, a first cleaning cavity is formed in the soap dispenser, and a first cleaning cavity outlet is provided at one end of the first cleaning cavity close to the rear end of the cabinet;

[0011] A first baffle movably provided in the first cleaning cavity;

[0012] A water wheel rotatably provided in the first cleaning cavity, the water wheel is provided on a side of the first baffle close to the first cleaning cavity outlet, and a gap is provided between the bottom of the water wheel and the bottom surface of the first cleaning cavity;

[0013] A water distributor provided in the cabinet and connected to the cabinet, the water distributor is located above the soap dispenser, and a first water outlet hole and a second water outlet hole located above the first cleaning cavity are provided on the water distributor;

[0014] The first baffle has a first position. When the first baffle is in the first position, the first baffle divides the first cleaning chamber into a first mixing chamber and a second mixing chamber, and the top end of the first baffle is lower than the top end of the first cleaning chamber. The first mixing chamber is located on the side of the second mixing chamber away from the outlet of the first cleaning chamber. Pour liquid detergent into the first mixing chamber, and water enters the first mixing chamber through the first water outlet hole to mix with the liquid detergent to form a mixed liquid. At the same time, water flows to the water wheel through the second water outlet hole to drive the water wheel to rotate. The mixed liquid in the first mixing chamber increases and flows over the top of the first baffle into the second mixing chamber. The mixed liquid flows through the space below the water wheel towards the outlet of the first cleaning chamber. The rotating water wheel stirs the mixed liquid, and the mixed liquid drives the water wheel to increase its rotation speed to accelerate the stirring of the mixed liquid by the water wheel.

[0015] By setting the first position of the water wheel and the first baffle, the liquid detergent can be mixed with water for the first time in the first mixing chamber. The impact of the water flow on the water wheel causes the water wheel to rotate. After the mixed liquid flows over the first baffle, the rotation of the water wheel is used to mix the mixed liquid for the second time. The flow of the mixed liquid causes the water wheel to rotate faster, and the second mixing effect is improved by the accelerated rotation of the water wheel, enabling the liquid detergent and water to be fully mixed and improving the washing effect. The water wheel does not need to be equipped with a driving mechanism. The rotation of the water wheel is caused by the flow of water and the mixed liquid, and the rotation of the water wheel can improve the mixing effect of the mixed liquid, saving energy.

[0016] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first baffle has a second position. When the first baffle is in the second position, there is a gap between the bottom end of the first baffle and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber. Pour powder detergent into the first cleaning chamber and pour the powder detergent on the side of the first baffle away from the outlet of the first cleaning chamber. Water enters the first cleaning chamber through the first water outlet hole to mix with the powder detergent to form a mixed liquid. At the same time, water flows to the water wheel through the second water outlet hole to drive the water wheel to rotate. The mixed liquid passes through the first baffle from below the first baffle, and then the mixed liquid flows through the space below the water wheel towards the outlet of the first cleaning chamber. The rotating water wheel stirs the mixed liquid, and the mixed liquid drives the water wheel to increase its rotation speed to accelerate the stirring of the mixed liquid by the water wheel.

[0017] By setting the second position of the water wheel and the first baffle, the powder detergent can be first mixed with water on the side of the first baffle away from the outlet of the first cleaning chamber. The impact of the water flow on the water wheel causes the water wheel to rotate. The rotation of the water wheel is used to perform a second mixing of the mixed liquid. The flow of the mixed liquid causes the water wheel to rotate at an accelerated speed, and the accelerated rotation of the water wheel improves the effect of the second mixing, enabling the powder detergent to be fully mixed with water and improving the washing effect. The water wheel does not require an additional drive mechanism. The rotation of the water wheel is caused by the flow of the water and the mixed liquid, and the rotation of the water wheel can improve the mixing effect of the mixed liquid, saving energy.

[0018] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first baffle includes:

[0019] A blocking plate;

[0020] A guiding plate connected to the top end of the blocking plate.

[0021] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the guiding plate has a top surface of the guiding plate provided at the top of the guiding plate. When the first baffle is in the second position, the top surface of the guiding plate is inclined. The bottom end of the top surface of the guiding plate is the end of the top surface of the guiding plate close to the water wheel. Water flows through the first water outlet hole onto the top surface of the guiding plate and then onto the water wheel to drive the rotational speed of the water wheel to increase, thereby accelerating the stirring of the mixed liquid by the water wheel.

[0022] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the water wheel includes:

[0023] A rotating column;

[0024] Water wheel blades, which are provided in several numbers and connected to the side wall of the rotating column. During the rotation of the water wheel, the water wheel blades stir the mixed liquid to flow towards the side close to the outlet of the first cleaning chamber.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second water outlet hole is provided between the rotating column and the first baffle, and the second water outlet hole is located above the water wheel blades.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first baffle is in the second position, the bottom end of the blocking plate has a second gap from the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber. Setting the second gap ensures that the mixed liquid can flow from below the first baffle to the water wheel.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first baffle is in the first position, the bottom end of the blocking plate is in contact with or has a first gap from the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber, and the first gap is smaller than the second gap, ensuring that the mixed liquid can cross the first baffle.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first cleaning chamber includes a second sidewall of the cleaning chamber and a third sidewall of the cleaning chamber that are oppositely arranged. Guide grooves are respectively provided on the second sidewall of the cleaning chamber and the third sidewall of the cleaning chamber.

[0034] A first baffle, movably arranged in the first cleaning chamber;

[0035] A water wheel, rotatably arranged in the first cleaning chamber. The water wheel is arranged on a side of the first baffle close to the first cleaning chamber outlet. There is a gap between the bottom of the water wheel and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber;

[0036] A water distributor, provided in the cabinet and connected to the cabinet. The water distributor is located above the soap box. A first water outlet hole and a second water outlet hole located above the first cleaning chamber are provided on the water distributor;

[0037] The first baffle has a second position. When the first baffle is in the second position, there is a gap between the bottom end of the first baffle and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber. Pour the powder detergent into the first cleaning chamber and pour the powder detergent on a side of the first baffle away from the first cleaning chamber outlet. Water enters the first cleaning chamber through the first water outlet hole and mixes with the powder detergent to form a mixed liquid. At the same time, water flows to the water wheel through the second water outlet hole to drive the water wheel to rotate. The mixed liquid passes through the lower part of the first baffle and then flows to the first cleaning chamber outlet through the space below the water wheel. The rotating water wheel stirs the mixed liquid, and the mixed liquid drives the rotational speed of the water wheel to increase to accelerate the stirring of the water wheel on the mixed liquid.

[0134] In some embodiments of this application, reference Figures 5 - 9 The drum washing machine may include a water wheel 45.

[0135] The water wheel 45 can be arranged in the first cleaning chamber 431. The water wheel is arranged on the side of the first baffle close to the first cleaning chamber outlet 4311.

[0136] There is a gap between the bottom of the water wheel and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber, so that the liquid can flow through the space between the water wheel and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber towards the first cleaning chamber outlet.

[0137] The rotation axis of the water wheel can be perpendicular to the extending direction of the first cleaning chamber, that is, the rotation axis of the water wheel is arranged along the width direction of the box body, so that when the water wheel rotates, it can stir the liquid in the first cleaning chamber and stir the liquid towards the outlet of the first cleaning chamber, so that the liquid flows out of the first cleaning chamber through the outlet of the first cleaning chamber.

[0138] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 5 - 9 , the drum washing machine may include a water distributor 46.

[0139] The water distributor 46 can be arranged inside the box body. The water distributor can be connected to the box body. The water distributor can be fixedly connected to the box body.

[0140] The water distributor 46 is arranged above the soap box.

[0141] The water distributor 46 may be provided with a first water outlet hole 461. The first water outlet hole 461 may be located above the first cleaning chamber.

[0142] The water distributor 46 may be provided with a second water outlet hole 462.

[0143] The second water outlet hole 462 may be located above the first cleaning chamber. The second water outlet hole 462 may be located above the water wheel. The second water outlet hole 462 may be located on the side of the rotation axis of the water wheel close to the first baffle.

[0144] Referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , when the first baffle is in the first position, the top end of the first baffle is lower than the top end of the first cleaning chamber, and the first baffle divides the first cleaning chamber into a first mixing chamber 4312 and a second mixing chamber 4313. Among them, the first mixing chamber 4312 is located on the side of the second mixing chamber away from the outlet of the first cleaning chamber. Pour the liquid detergent into the first mixing chamber, water enters the first mixing chamber through the first water outlet hole and mixes with the liquid detergent to form a mixed liquid. At the same time, water flows to the water wheel through the second water outlet hole to drive the water wheel to rotate. The mixed liquid in the first mixing chamber increases and flows over the top of the first baffle into the second mixing chamber. The mixed liquid flows towards the outlet of the first cleaning chamber through the space below the water wheel. The rotating water wheel stirs the mixed liquid, and the mixed liquid drives the water wheel to increase its rotation speed to accelerate the stirring of the mixed liquid by the water wheel.

[0145] Specifically, when the first baffle is in the first position, the first baffle horizontally divides the first cleaning chamber into a first mixing chamber and a second mixing chamber. The tops of the first mixing chamber and the second mixing chamber are interconnected, and the bottoms of the first mixing chamber and the second mixing chamber are either isolated or interconnected. There is a gap between the bottom end of the first baffle and the bottom surface of the first cleaning tank, and this gap is small enough that the liquid detergent cannot completely flow into the second mixing chamber. Moreover, this gap is small enough that the outflow speed of the mixed solution is lower than the inflow speed of water, enabling the mixed solution to cross the first baffle and enter the second mixing chamber. Among them, the gap between the first baffle and the bottom surface of the first cleaning tank is smaller than the gap between the water wheel and the bottom surface of the first cleaning tank.

[0146] In the present application, by setting the first positions of the water wheel and the first baffle, the liquid detergent can be first mixed with water in the first mixing chamber. The impact of the water flow on the water wheel causes the water wheel to rotate. After the mixed liquid crosses the first baffle, the rotation of the water wheel is used to perform a second mixing of the mixed liquid. The flow of the mixed liquid causes the water wheel to rotate faster, and the faster rotation of the water wheel improves the effect of the second mixing, enabling the liquid detergent and water to be fully mixed and improving the washing effect. The water wheel does not require an additional drive mechanism. The rotation of the water wheel is caused by the flow of water and the mixed liquid, and the rotation of the water wheel can improve the mixing effect of the mixed liquid, saving energy.

[0147] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 When the first baffle is in the second position, there is a space between the bottom end of the first baffle and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber. Pour the powder detergent into the first cleaning chamber, and pour the powder detergent on the side of the first baffle away from the outlet of the first cleaning chamber. Water enters the first cleaning chamber through the first water outlet hole and mixes with the powder detergent to form a mixed liquid. At the same time, water flows to the water wheel through the second water outlet hole to drive the water wheel to rotate. The mixed liquid passes under the first baffle and then flows towards the outlet of the first cleaning chamber through the space under the water wheel. The rotating water wheel stirs the mixed liquid, and the mixed liquid drives the water wheel to rotate faster to accelerate the stirring of the mixed liquid by the water wheel.

[0148] In the present application, by setting the second positions of the water wheel and the first baffle, the powder detergent can be first mixed with water on the side of the first baffle away from the outlet of the first cleaning chamber. The impact of the water flow on the water wheel causes the water wheel to rotate. The rotation of the water wheel is used to perform a second mixing of the mixed liquid. The flow of the mixed liquid causes the water wheel to rotate faster, and the faster rotation of the water wheel improves the effect of the second mixing, enabling the powder detergent and water to be fully mixed and improving the washing effect. The water wheel does not require an additional drive mechanism. The rotation of the water wheel is caused by the flow of water and the mixed liquid, and the rotation of the water wheel can improve the mixing effect of the mixed liquid, saving energy.

[0153] Wherein, when the bottom end of the blocking plate 441 contacts the bottom surface of the first cleaning cavity, the first baffle can isolate the bottoms of the first mixing cavity and the second mixing cavity.

[0154] When there is a gap between the bottom end of the blocking plate 441 and the bottom surface of the first cleaning cavity, the liquid detergent cannot completely flow from the first mixing cavity to the second mixing cavity either.

[0155] Wherein, when the first baffle is in the first position, the bottom end of the blocking plate has a first gap with the bottom surface of the first cleaning cavity. Setting the first gap ensures that the mixed liquid can cross the first baffle.

[0156] When the first baffle is in the second position, the bottom end of the blocking plate has a second gap with the bottom surface of the first cleaning cavity. Setting the second gap ensures that the mixed liquid can flow from below the first baffle to the water wheel.

[0157] Wherein, the second gap is greater than the first gap to ensure that the mixed liquid can flow from below the first baffle to the water wheel.

[0158] In some embodiments of the present application, the blocking plate 441 may be provided with scales to indicate the amount of liquid detergent poured into the first mixing cavity.

Water flows through the first water outlet hole onto the top surface of the guide plate and then onto the water wheel to drive the water wheel to increase its rotation speed, thereby accelerating the stirring of the water wheel for the mixed liquid. The top surface of the guide plate is used to divert the water onto the water wheel. The impact of the water flow on the water wheel causes the water wheel to rotate.
