[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 10As shown, an energy-saving drain pump for a washing machine according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a pump body 100, an outer drum 200, a filter cylinder 300, a movable rod 500, and a drive device 600. The pump body 100 is provided with a first water inlet 110 and a first water outlet 120; water output from the pump body 100 flows out from the first water outlet 120, which is connected to the external drain pipe of the washing machine. The outer drum 200 is connected to the pump body 100 and is located on the left side of the pump body 100. The outer drum 200 is connected to a first water pipe 210, a second water pipe 220, and a third water pipe 230; the first water pipe 210 is connected to a tap water pipe to input tap water into the outer drum 200 to flush solid impurities, and the second water pipe 220 is connected to the external drain pipe of the washing machine to discharge solid impurities flushed by tap water. The third water pipe 230 is connected to the internal space of the washing machine to extract water from inside the washing machine. A filter cylinder 300 is located inside the outer drum 200 and is a cylindrical shape with one open end. The filter cylinder 300 extends in the left-right direction. Multiple filter holes 310 are provided on the side wall of the filter cylinder 300. For ease of manufacturing, the side wall of the filter cylinder 300 is composed of a stainless steel filter screen. The diameter of the filter holes 310 on the stainless steel filter screen is no greater than 1 mm. The filter cylinder 300 divides the internal space of the outer drum 200 into a wastewater chamber 400 and a clean water chamber 410. The clean water chamber 410 is connected to the first water inlet 110. Water in the wastewater chamber 400 enters the clean water chamber 410 through the filter holes 310. Solid impurities in the water in the wastewater chamber 400 are filtered and adhere to the side wall of the filter cylinder 300. Water in the clean water chamber 410 enters the pump body 100 from the first water inlet 110. The purpose of filtration is to prevent solid impurities from clogging and damaging the pump body 100. A movable rod 500 passes through the outer cylinder 200 and extends in the left-right direction. The movable rod 500 is capable of moving left and right. A sealing plate 510 and a scraper plate 520 are spaced apart on the movable rod 500, and the sealing plate 510 and scraper plate 520 are parallel to each other. Both the sealing plate 510 and the scraper plate 520 are circular in shape. The outer diameter of the sealing plate 510 and the scraper plate 520 matches the inner diameter of the filter cylinder 300, forming a water passage cavity 530 between the sealing plate 510 and the scraper plate 520. The movable rod 500 has a first position and a second position. Figure 2 As shown, when the movable rod 500 is in the first position, the first water pipe 210 and the second water pipe 220 are connected through the water passage cavity 530, as... Figure 4As shown, when the movable rod 500 is in the second position, the third water pipe 230 and the filter hole 310 are connected through the water passage cavity 530. The drive device 600 is located outside the outer cylinder 200 and is used to drive the movable rod 500 to switch between the first and second positions. During the process of the movable rod 500 switching from the second position to the first position, the scraper plate 520 scrapes the inner wall of the filter cylinder 300 to the left, scraping the solid impurities on the inner wall of the filter cylinder 300 into the water passage cavity 530. After the movable rod 500 moves to the first position, tap water is injected into the water passage cavity 530 through the first water pipe 210 to flush the solid impurities to the second water pipe 220, and then discharged from the second water pipe 220 to the external drain pipe of the washing machine. Then the movable rod 500 switches from the first position to the second position again. This completes the automatic cleaning, reduces the resistance of water flow through the filter cylinder 300, speeds up the drainage, reduces the energy loss of the pump body 100 during drainage, and achieves the effect of energy saving.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, it can be understood that an impeller 700 is installed inside the pump body 100. The impeller 700 is a common type of impeller used in centrifugal water pumps. The specific structure of the impeller 700 is existing technology and will not be described in detail. When the impeller 700 rotates, it drives the water in the pump body 100 to flow from the first inlet 110 to the first outlet 120. The pump body 100 is connected to a motor 710, which is a permanent magnet synchronous motor, known for its low energy consumption. The output shaft of the motor 710 is connected to the impeller 700, and the motor 710 drives the impeller 700 to rotate. The motor 710, through the impeller 700, drives the water in the pump body 100 to move, thus driving the water in the pump body 100 to flow from the first inlet 110 to the first outlet 120.

[0041] Reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the pump body 100 includes a first housing 101 and a second housing 102, both made of engineering plastics such as polyoxymethylene and nylon. To facilitate the assembly of the impeller 700 within the pump body 100, the pump body 100 is manufactured in two parts. The first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are connected by flange bolts. It is anticipated that sealing rubber or sealant will be installed between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 to prevent leakage. The first inlet 110 is located on the left side of the first housing 101. A mechanical seal 720 is bolted to the second housing 102, and the motor 710 is bolted to the mechanical seal 720. The output shaft of the motor 710 passes through the mechanical seal 720. The rotary seal structure between the mechanical seal 720 and the output shaft is existing technology and will not be described in detail. The separate design of the first housing 101, the second housing 102, and the mechanical seal 720 reduces manufacturing costs.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the outer cylinder 200 includes a first cylinder 201 and a second cylinder 202. To simplify the installation process, the first cylinder 201 is integrally injection molded with the first housing 101. The second cylinder 202 is threaded to the end of the first cylinder 201 away from the first housing 101. The right end of the second cylinder 202 has an external thread, and the left end of the first cylinder 201 has an internal thread. The left end of the first cylinder 201 is open. The right end of the second cylinder 202 is threaded to the left end of the first cylinder 201. The right end of the second cylinder 202 is open. The first water pipe 210, the second water pipe 220, and the third water pipe 230 are all connected to the second cylinder 202. The first water pipe 210, the second water pipe 220, and the third water pipe 230 are integrally injection molded with the second cylinder 202. The inner diameter of the second cylinder 202 is equal to the inner diameter of the filter cylinder 300, and the inner diameter of the first cylinder 201 is larger than the outer diameter of the filter cylinder 300. Considering the manufacturing difficulty, the first water pipe 210, the second water pipe 220, the third water pipe 230, and the second cylinder 202 are integrally injection molded, while the first cylinder 201 and the first shell 101 are integrally injection molded. These are manufactured in two parts and then connected by threads, effectively balancing manufacturing cost, assembly process, and structural reliability. Since the scraper 520 needs to move back and forth within the second cylinder 202 and the filter cartridge 300, the inner diameters of the second cylinder 202 and the filter cartridge 300 must be equal.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the filter cartridge 300 has an opening at its left end. Water containing solid impurities enters the filter cartridge 300 through this opening and is filtered through the side wall to the outside of the filter cartridge 300. The inside of the filter cartridge 300 is part of the wastewater chamber 400, and the outside of the filter cartridge 300 is the clean water chamber 410. A positioning ring 320 is arranged around the outer peripheral wall of the left end of the filter cartridge 300. The diameter of the positioning ring 320 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first cylinder 201 to facilitate installation inside the first cylinder 201. A boss 203 is arranged around the inner wall of the first cylinder 201. The inner diameter of the boss 203 is larger than the outer diameter of the filter cartridge 300 to allow the filter cartridge 300 to pass through. The inner diameter of the boss 203 is smaller than the outer diameter of the positioning ring 320 to position the positioning ring 320 in the left-right direction. The positioning ring 320 is sandwiched between the left end of the boss 203 and the right end of the second cylinder 202. During the process of the second cylinder 202 being threaded to the first cylinder 201, the right end of the second cylinder 202 will push the positioning ring 320 to press against the left end of the boss 203, thereby completing the installation and fixing of the filter cylinder 300.

[0044] Reference Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that sealing rings 321 are provided on both the left and right sides of the positioning ring 320. The sealing rings 321 are made of rubber. The function of the sealing rings 321 is to prevent water inside the first cylinder 201 and the second cylinder 202 from leaking to the outside through the gap between the positioning ring 320 and the second cylinder 202.

[0045] Reference Figures 2 to 8 As shown, it can be understood that sealing rings are provided around the outer peripheral walls of both the sealing plate 510 and the scraper plate 520. The sealing rings are made of rubber, and their function is to maintain the sealing of the edge of the water passage cavity 530, preventing water from leaking from the edges of the sealing plate 510 and the scraper plate 520.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the scraper 520 is located to the right of the sealing plate 510, and the scraper 520 is connected to an annular cleaning brush 521 that abuts against the inner wall of the filter cartridge 300. The annular cleaning brush 521 is located to the left of the scraper 520. As the scraper 520 moves to the left, the annular cleaning brush 521 first contacts the inner wall of the filter cartridge 300. The annular cleaning brush 521 is used to assist the scraper 520 in cleaning the solid impurities adhering to the inner wall of the filter cartridge 300.

[0047] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the drive device 600 includes a servo motor 610 and a drive gear 620. The servo motor 610 is bolted to the left end of the outer cylinder 200. The drive gear 620 is connected to the servo motor 610 and is directly mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor 610. A rack 540 is bolted to the side of the movable rod 500, and the drive gear 620 meshes with the rack 540. The servo motor 610 drives the drive gear 620 to rotate, thereby driving the rack 540 to move in the left and right directions, thus enabling the movable rod 500 to move left and right.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that the first water pipe 210 is connected to a water inlet valve 211. When the movable rod 500 is in the first position, the water inlet valve 211 is open. When the movable rod 500 is in the second position, the water inlet valve 211 is closed, thereby achieving the effects of automatic flushing and saving tap water.

[0049] Working principle:

[0050] During drainage, when the movable rod 500 is in the second position, the third water pipe 230 and the filter hole 310 are connected through the water passage chamber 530. The motor 710 drives the water in the pump body 100 to move through the impeller 700, driving the water in the pump body 100 to flow from the first inlet 110 to the first outlet 120. Under negative pressure, the water inside the washing machine enters the water passage chamber 530 through the third water pipe 230. Part of the space of the water passage chamber 530 overlaps with the space of the sewage chamber 400. The water in the water passage chamber 530 enters the clean water chamber 410 through the filter hole 310. Solid impurities in the water are filtered and adhere to the side wall of the filter drum 300. The water in the clean water chamber 410 is drawn into the pump body 100 from the first inlet 110 and discharged from the first outlet 120 to the washing machine's external drain pipe.

[0051] After drainage is completed, the motor 710 stops, and the servo motor 610 drives the drive gear 620 to rotate, thereby causing the rack 540 on the movable rod 500 to move to the left. This switches the movable rod 500 from the second position to the first position. During the process of switching the movable rod 500 from the second position to the first position, the scraper 520 scrapes the inner wall of the filter cylinder 300 to the left. As the scraper 520 moves to the left, the annular cleaning brush 521 first contacts the inner wall of the filter cylinder 300 to help clean the solid impurities adhering to the inner wall of the filter cylinder 300. The solid impurities on the inner wall of the filter cylinder 300 are scraped off into the water passage cavity 530, and the solid impurities move to the left with the water passage cavity 530. After the movable lever 500 moves to the first position, the first water pipe 210 and the second water pipe 220 are connected through the water passage chamber 530. The water inlet valve 211 is opened for 10 seconds and then closed. Tap water is injected into the water passage chamber 530 through the first water pipe 210 to flush solid impurities to the second water pipe 220. Then, the water is discharged from the second water pipe 220 to the washing machine's external drain pipe. Then, the servo motor 610 drives the movable lever 500 to switch from the first position to the second position to complete the automatic washing.

[0052] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
