[0138] To improve the cleaning effect of clothes, laundry detergent and powder can be thoroughly mixed with water to ensure their full utilization. However, some washing machines currently only allow for the pre-mixing of liquid detergent and water or powder detergent and water separately, and the mixing effect of detergent and water is poor, resulting in an insignificant cleaning effect. Therefore, this application provides a washing machine that can better mix detergent and water.

[0139] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 5-9 A drum washing machine may include a first baffle 44.

[0140] The first baffle can be disposed within the first cleaning chamber 431. The first baffle can move within the first cleaning chamber.

[0143] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 5-9 A drum washing machine may include a water wheel 45.

[0144] The water wheel 45 can be installed inside the first cleaning chamber 431. The water wheel 45 can be installed on the side of the first baffle 44 near the outlet 4311 of the first cleaning chamber.

[0145] The bottom of the water wheel 45 and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber 431 may be spaced apart. Liquid can flow through the space between the water wheel and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber to the outlet of the first cleaning chamber.

[0146] The rotation axis of the water wheel 45 can be perpendicular to the extension direction of the first cleaning chamber. The rotation axis of the water wheel can be arranged along the front-to-back direction of the housing. When the water wheel rotates, it can agitate the liquid in the first cleaning chamber, thus propelling the liquid towards the outlet of the first cleaning chamber. The liquid can then flow out of the first cleaning chamber through the outlet.

[0147] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 5-9 A drum washing machine may include a water distributor 46.

[0148] The water distributor 46 can be installed inside the tank. The water distributor can be connected to the tank. The water distributor can be fixedly connected to the tank.

[0149] The water distributor 46 is located above the soap dish.

[0150] In some embodiments of this application, the water distributor 46 may have a first water outlet 461. The first water outlet 461 may be located above the first cleaning chamber.

[0151] A second water outlet 462 may be provided on the water distributor 46.

[0152] The second water outlet 462 can be located above the first cleaning chamber. The second water outlet 462 can be located above the water wheel. The second water outlet 462 can be located on the side of the water wheel's rotating shaft near the first baffle.

[0153] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 10 and Figure 11 When the first baffle is in the first position, the top of the first baffle is lower than the top of the first cleaning chamber. The first baffle divides the first cleaning chamber into a first mixing chamber 4312 and a second mixing chamber 4313. The first mixing chamber 4312 is located on the side of the second mixing chamber away from the outlet of the first cleaning chamber. When liquid detergent is poured into the first mixing chamber, water enters the first mixing chamber through the first water outlet and mixes with the liquid detergent to form a mixed liquid. At the same time, water flows through the second water outlet to the water wheel 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 to 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 rotate faster to accelerate the stirring of the mixed liquid.

[0154] In some embodiments of this application, when the first baffle is in the first position, the first baffle transversely divides the first cleaning chamber into a first mixing chamber and a second mixing chamber within the first cleaning chamber. The tops of the first and second mixing chambers are interconnected, while their bottoms are isolated from or connected to each other. A gap exists between the bottom end of the first baffle and the bottom surface of the first cleaning tank. This gap is small enough that the liquid detergent cannot completely flow into the second mixing chamber. Furthermore, this small gap ensures that the outflow velocity of the mixed solution is lower than the inflow velocity of the water, allowing the mixed solution to pass over the first baffle and enter the second mixing chamber. 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.

[0155] In some embodiments of this application, by setting the first position of the water wheel and the first baffle, the liquid detergent can be mixed with water in the first mixing chamber for the first time. The water flow impacts the water wheel, causing it to rotate. After the mixed liquid passes the first baffle, the rotation of the water wheel performs a second mixing. The flow of the mixed liquid accelerates the rotation of the water wheel, and the accelerated rotation of the water wheel improves the effect of the second mixing. This allows the liquid detergent and water to be fully mixed, improving the washing effect. The water wheel does not require a drive mechanism; the rotation of the water wheel is caused by the flow of water and the mixed liquid. The rotation of the water wheel improves the mixing effect of the mixed liquid and saves energy.

[0156] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 12 and Figure 13 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. Powder detergent is poured into the first cleaning chamber and onto 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 and mixes with the powder detergent to form a mixed liquid. At the same time, water flows through the second water outlet to the water wheel to drive the water wheel to rotate. The mixed liquid passes through the first baffle from below and then flows through the space below the water wheel to the outlet of the first cleaning chamber. The rotating water wheel agitates the mixed liquid, and the mixed liquid drives the water wheel to rotate faster to accelerate the agitation of the mixed liquid.

[0157] In some embodiments of this application, by setting a second position for the water wheel and the first baffle, the powder detergent can be mixed with water for the first time 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, and the rotation of the water wheel causes the mixed liquid to be mixed a second time. The flow of the mixed liquid causes the water wheel to rotate faster, and the accelerated rotation of the water wheel improves the effect of the second mixing. This allows the powder detergent to be fully mixed with water, improving the washing effect. The water wheel does not need to be driven by a drive mechanism; the rotation of the water wheel is caused by the flow of water and the mixed liquid. The rotation of the water wheel can improve the mixing effect of the mixed liquid and save energy.

[0158] In some embodiments of this application, the soap dish is removably inserted into the housing. The soap dish can be pulled out relative to the housing. The water distributor can be relatively fixedly installed inside the housing.

[0159] From a certain distance after the soap dish is inserted into the box to the deepest point the soap dish is inserted into the box, liquid can enter the first mixing chamber through the first water outlet. In some embodiments of this application, refer to Figures 10-15 The first baffle 44 may include a blocking plate 441.

[0160] The first baffle 44 may include a guide plate 442. The guide plate 442 is connected to the top of the baffle 441.

[0161] When the first baffle is in the first position, the bottom end of the baffle plate 441 can abut against the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber. When the first baffle is in the first position, the bottom end of the baffle plate 441 can be spaced apart from the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber.

[0162] In some embodiments of this application, when the bottom end of the baffle plate 441 abuts against the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber, the first baffle plate can isolate the bottom of the first mixing chamber and the second mixing chamber. When there is a gap between the bottom end of the baffle plate 441 and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber, the liquid detergent cannot flow entirely from the first mixing chamber to the second mixing chamber.

[0163] In some embodiments of this application, when the first baffle is in the first position, the bottom end of the baffle and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber are separated by a first gap. The first gap is provided so that the mixed liquid can pass over the first baffle. When the first baffle is in the second position, the bottom end of the baffle and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber are separated by a second gap. The second gap is provided so that the mixed liquid can flow from below the first baffle to the water wheel. The second gap is larger than the first gap so that the mixed liquid can flow from below the first baffle to the water wheel.

[0164] In some embodiments of this application, the baffle plate 441 may be provided with a scale that can indicate the amount of liquid detergent poured into the first mixing chamber.

[0165] refer to Figures 10-15 The blocking plate 441 includes a first display surface 4411.

[0166] In some embodiments of this application, when the first baffle is in the first position, the first display surface is located on the side of the baffle away from the outlet of the first cleaning chamber, wherein the scale on the baffle 441 is set on the first display surface.

[0167] refer to Figures 10-15 The width direction of the cabinet is located on the first display surface or the width direction of the cabinet is parallel to the first display surface, and the first display surface is set at an angle α with the vertical direction.

[0168] The included angle α can be greater than 0 degrees. Setting the included angle α to be greater than 0 degrees makes it easy to see the amount of liquid detergent poured in, making it easier to control the amount of liquid detergent poured into the first mixing chamber, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning and avoiding waste of liquid detergent.

[0169] The included angle α can be less than or equal to 30 degrees. Setting the included angle α to less than or equal to 30 degrees might result in the first display surface occupying too much space in the front-to-back direction of the cabinet. Therefore, the included angle α is kept less than or equal to 30 degrees.

[0170] In some embodiments of this application, the included angle α can be greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 30 degrees. The top end of the first display surface is the end of the first display surface near the outlet of the first cleaning chamber, so that when the first baffle is in the first position, the amount of liquid detergent poured in can be easily seen, making it convenient to control the amount of liquid detergent poured into the first mixing chamber, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning and avoiding waste of liquid detergent, and also avoiding the first display surface occupying too much space in the front-to-back direction of the housing.

[0171] To ensure easy visibility of the amount of liquid detergent poured in and to avoid the first display surface occupying excessive space in the front-to-back direction of the cabinet, the included angle α can be set according to the following embodiments: The included angle α can be less than or equal to 15 degrees. The included angle α can be less than or equal to 20 degrees. The included angle α can be less than or equal to 25 degrees. The included angle α can be less than or equal to 30 degrees. The included angle α can be less than or equal to 35 degrees. The included angle α can be less than or equal to 40 degrees. The included angle α can be less than or equal to 45 degrees.

[0172] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 10-15 The guide plate may include the top surface 4421 of the guide plate disposed on the top of the guide plate.

[0173] The top surface 4421 of the guide plate can be perpendicular to the first display surface or set at an angle β.

[0174] The included angle β can be greater than or equal to 90 degrees. When the included angle β is 90 degrees, the top surface 4421 of the guide plate is perpendicular to the first display surface. If the included angle β is less than 90 degrees, the line of sight will be obstructed, making it difficult to view the scale on the first display surface. Therefore, the included angle β is made to be greater than or equal to 90 degrees.

[0175] The included angle β can be less than 180 degrees. If the included angle β is greater than 180 degrees, the top surface 4421 of the guide plate will have difficulty in guiding the flow. Therefore, the included angle β is made to be less than 180 degrees.

[0176] In some embodiments of this application, the included angle β can be greater than or equal to 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. This facilitates viewing the scale on the first display surface and ensures that the top surface 4421 of the guide plate can guide water flow.

[0177] In some embodiments of this application, the sum of the included angle α and the included angle β can be greater than or equal to 110 degrees.

[0178] In some embodiments of this application, the included angle β can be greater than or equal to 130 degrees.

[0179] In some embodiments of this application, the sum of the included angles α and β can be greater than or equal to 90 degrees. When the sum of the included angles α and β is equal to 90 degrees, the top surface of the guide plate is horizontally positioned when the first baffle is in the first position. When the sum of the included angles α and β is greater than 90 degrees, it is convenient for the user to view the scale on the first display surface.

[0180] In some embodiments of this application, the sum of the included angles α and β can be less than 180 degrees. When the sum of the included angles α and β is less than 180 degrees, the angle will not be too large, ensuring that the top surface 4421 of the guide plate can guide the water flow.

[0181] In some embodiments of this application, the sum of the included angles α and β can be less than 180 degrees and greater than or equal to 90 degrees. The angle will not be too large, ensuring that the top surface 4421 of the guide plate can guide water flow and that the user can easily view the scale on the first display surface.

[0182] To facilitate viewing the scale on the first display surface, the included angles α and β can be set according to the following embodiments: the sum of included angles α and β can be greater than or equal to 90 degrees; the sum of included angles α and β can be greater than or equal to 120 degrees; or the sum of included angles α and β can be greater than or equal to 150 degrees.

[0183] In some embodiments of this application, when the first baffle is in the second position, the top surface of the guide plate is inclined, and the bottom end of the top surface of the guide plate is the end of the top surface of the guide plate close to the water wheel. Water flows through the first water outlet to the top surface of the guide plate and then to the water wheel to drive the water wheel to increase its speed and accelerate the mixing of the liquid by the water wheel. The top surface of the guide plate guides the water to the water wheel, and the impact of the water flow on the water wheel causes the water wheel to rotate. The rotation of the water wheel improves the mixing effect of the liquid, which enables the powder detergent to be fully mixed with the water and improves the washing effect.

[0184] In some embodiments of this application, the first baffle may be in a second position. The bottom end of the baffle may be located above the bottom end of the water wheel. When the first baffle is in the second position, it prevents the first baffle from obstructing the mixed liquid on the side of the first baffle away from the outlet of the first cleaning chamber, thus ensuring the mixing and stirring effect of the water wheel.

[0185] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 16 The first cleaning chamber may have a cleaning chamber sidewall 4314.

[0186] The cleaning chamber sidewall 4314 may include a first cleaning chamber sidewall 43141. The first cleaning chamber sidewall 43141 may be located at the end of the first cleaning chamber away from the outlet of the first cleaning chamber.

[0195] In some embodiments of this application, there may be several second water outlet holes.

[0196] Several second water outlets can be located between the second side water outlet and the third side water outlet.

[0197] Several second water outlets can be arranged along the direction of the water turbine's rotation axis. Several second water outlets can also be arranged along the width direction of the tank.

[0198] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 14-15 and Figure 17 Guide grooves 4315 may be provided on the second side wall and the third side wall of the cleaning chamber, respectively.

[0199] The first baffle may include a guide post 443. The guide post may be inserted into a guide groove.

[0200] When the first baffle switches between the first position and the second position, the guide post can move along the guide groove.

[0201] refer to Figures 14-15 and Figure 17 The guide post may include two first guide posts 4431.

[0206] The guide groove 4315 may include a second guide groove 43152.

[0207] The top end of the first guide groove can be connected to the top end of the second guide groove.

[0208] The extension direction of the second guide groove can be set at an angle.

[0209] The extension direction of the second guide groove is set at an angle γ with the vertical direction.

[0210] The included angle γ can be greater than 0 degrees. Setting the included angle γ to be greater than 0 degrees makes it easy to see the amount of liquid detergent poured in, making it easier to control the amount of liquid detergent poured into the first mixing chamber, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning and avoiding waste of liquid detergent.

[0211] The included angle γ can be less than or equal to 30 degrees. Setting the included angle γ to less than or equal to 30 degrees might result in the first display surface occupying too much space in the front-to-back direction of the cabinet. Therefore, the included angle γ is kept less than or equal to 30 degrees.

[0212] In some embodiments of this application, the included angle γ can be greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 30 degrees. The top end of the first display surface is the end of the first display surface near the outlet of the first cleaning chamber, so that when the first baffle is in the first position, the amount of liquid detergent poured in can be easily seen, making it convenient to control the amount of liquid detergent poured into the first mixing chamber, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning and avoiding waste of liquid detergent, and also avoiding the first display surface occupying too much space in the front-to-back direction of the housing.

[0213] To ensure easy visibility of the amount of liquid detergent poured in and to avoid the first display surface occupying excessive space in the front-to-back direction of the cabinet, the included angle γ can be set according to the following embodiments: The included angle γ can be less than or equal to 15 degrees. The included angle γ can be less than or equal to 20 degrees. The included angle γ can be less than or equal to 25 degrees. The included angle γ can be less than or equal to 30 degrees. The included angle γ can be less than or equal to 35 degrees. The included angle γ can be less than or equal to 40 degrees. The included angle γ can be less than or equal to 45 degrees.

[0214] In some embodiments of this application, the top end of the second guide groove is the end of the second guide groove near the outlet of the first cleaning chamber, so that when the first baffle is in the first position, the first display surface is set at an angle γ with the vertical direction, which makes it easy to see the amount of liquid detergent poured in, and makes it easy to control the amount of liquid detergent poured into the first mixing chamber, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning and avoiding waste of liquid detergent.

[0215] The extension direction of the first guide groove can be inclined. The extension direction of the first guide groove can be at an angle to the vertical direction. The top end of the first guide groove can be the end away from the outlet of the first cleaning chamber, so that the second baffle can be stably positioned in the second position.

[0216] The first guide post can be disposed within the first guide groove. The second guide post can be disposed within the first guide groove. The first guide post can be disposed within the second guide groove. The second guide post can be disposed within the second guide groove.

[0217] refer to Figure 11 and Figure 18When the first baffle is in the first position, the first guide post and the second guide post are both located in the first guide groove, and the bottom surface of the first cleaning chamber supports the first baffle.

[0218] refer to Figure 13 and Figure 18 When the first baffle is in the second position, the first guide post is located in the second guide groove, the second guide post is located in the first guide groove, and the side wall at the bottom of the second guide groove supports the first baffle through the first guide post.

[0219] The second guide groove may include a second guide groove sidewall 431521 located at its bottom.

[0220] The end of the second guide groove sidewall closest to the first guide groove is the first end of the guide groove.

[0221] When the first baffle is in the second position, in the vertical direction, the lowest point of the first guide post can be lower than the first end of the guide groove, so that the first baffle is stably located in the second position and the first baffle is prevented from moving.

[0222] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 19 The first baffle may include a handle 444.

[0223] The handle can be connected to the guide plate.

[0303] The live water box may include a live water positioning rib, which may be located on the live water box and on the side of the live water box near the outlet of the third cleaning chamber.

[0304] When the live water box is positioned in the third washing chamber, the positioning guide ribs are located between adjacent live water positioning ribs to limit the irregular movement of the live water box when liquid impacts it.

[0305] The water positioning rib can be vertically installed on the side of the water box near the outlet of the third cleaning chamber.

[0306] The water positioning ribs and hooks can be made into quick-change inserts on the mold to adapt to the positioning guide ribs and height limiting plates of different models of soap boxes, and to limit the water box in the height, width and depth directions.

[0307] The water supply box may include a large chamfered guide rib 715, which may be provided on the water supply box or located below the water supply box.

[0308] When the live water box is placed inside the third washing chamber, the large chamfered guide ribs abut against the lower side wall of the third washing chamber to limit the irregular movement of the live water box when the liquid impacts it.

[0312] In some embodiments of this application, the position of the live water box in the third washing chamber can be limited by the engagement of the hook with the first flange, the position of the positioning guide rib and the live water limiting rib, the abutment of the second flange with the second side wall of the third washing chamber and the third side wall of the third washing chamber, and the abutment of the large chamfered guide rib with the lower side wall of the third washing chamber.

[0313] The active water box can be equipped with active water particles 73, which can be detachably installed in the active water box.

[0314] The active water particles can be fixed inside the active water box.

[0315] In some embodiments of this application, the active water particles may be composed of aminocarboxylic acids.

[0316] The water used by most households for washing clothes is tap water, which is not treated further. Water with high hardness, containing a lot of calcium and magnesium ions, will cause these ions to turn from soluble to insoluble substances and deposit on the washing machine's heating element and the fabric during the main wash cycle, resulting in stiff and yellowed fabrics.

[0317] Soap scum formed by calcium and magnesium with anionic surfactants such as fatty acid salts and sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate will deposit on fabrics, which not only wastes surfactants but also reduces the efficiency of surfactant use.

[0318] The carboxyl groups contained in the active particles generate a strong negative charge, which firmly adsorbs positively charged metal ions such as calcium and magnesium, and repels other negatively charged ions, so that calcium and magnesium ions exist stably in the water in a dissolved state, thereby preventing the formation of scale.

[0319] The water particles can have a porous structure to allow the liquid to be fully filtered.

[0320] The water box may be equipped with water particle positioning ribs 716, which can restrict the movement of water particles within the water box when water impacts them.

[0321] Liquid can flow into the third cleaning chamber through the first side water outlet 4611, the second side water outlet 4612, and the third side water outlet 4613. After being purified by the live water particles 73 in the live water box 71, the purified liquid exits from the outlet 4334 of the third cleaning chamber.

[0322] The lower sidewall of the live water box slopes from the end away from the outlet of the third cleaning chamber to the end near the outlet of the third cleaning chamber, which facilitates the passage of live water particles.

[0323] A water inlet hole 72 may be provided on the lower side wall so that when the water level in the third cleaning chamber rises, the liquid enters the water box through the water inlet hole.

[0324] The first side wall of the water tank may be provided with a water inlet hole to facilitate the entry of water into the water tank.

[0325] The second side wall of the water tank may be provided with a water inlet hole so that water can easily flow out of the water tank.

[0326] The third side wall of the water box may be provided with a water inlet hole so that the water from the second side outlet hole 4612 can easily enter the water box.

[0327] The fourth side wall of the water tank may be provided with a water inlet hole so that the water outlet 4613 on the third side can easily enter the water tank.

[0328] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 21 A drum washing machine may include a water distribution box 49.

[0329] The water distribution box 49 can be installed inside the box. The water distribution box 49 can be installed within the placement space 12.

[0330] Water distribution box 49 can be connected to the box body 1.

[0331] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 22-23 A water distribution box cavity 491 can be formed inside the water distribution box 49.

[0332] The front end of the water distribution box can have a first opening 4921. The first opening 4921 can communicate with the cavity of the water distribution box.

[0333] The top of the water distribution box can have a second opening 4922. The second opening 4922 can communicate with the water distribution cavity.

[0334] The second opening 4922 of the water distribution box can be connected to the first opening 4921 of the water distribution box.

[0335] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 21-23 A drum washing machine may include a soap dish 43.

[0336] The soap dish 43 can be pulled out and inserted into the box.

[0337] The soap dish 43 can be pulled out and inserted into the water distribution box. The soap dish 43 can be pulled out and inserted into the cavity of the water distribution box.

[0338] After completing high-temperature programs such as high-temperature washing, condensation will form on the soap dish and the surrounding cabinet after the user removes the soap dish from the water dispenser. This condensation will drip onto the floor, giving the user the illusion that the washing machine is leaking, thus affecting the user experience. Furthermore, a large amount of condensation dripping onto the floor can also pose a safety hazard to the user.

[0339] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 21 and Figure 31 A drum washing machine may include a water distributor 46.

[0340] The water distributor 46 can be connected to the water distribution box 49. The water distributor 46 can be located at the top of the water distribution box 49.

[0341] A water distribution chamber 465 can be formed inside the water distributor 46.

[0342] The water distributor 46 may be provided with a water outlet 460.

[0343] The 460-degree water outlet can connect the water distribution chamber and the water distribution box chamber.

[0345] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 21-22 Soap dish 43 can be located below the water distributor.

[0346] The soap dish can be pulled out and inserted between the water distribution box and the water distributor.

[0347] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 21-23 A drum washing machine may include an air duct 691.

[0348] The air guide tube 691 can be located inside the water distribution box cavity. The air guide tube 691 can be located below the water distributor.

[0349] An air delivery channel 6911 can be formed inside the air delivery tube 691.

[0350] One end of the air guide channel can be connected to the outer cylinder cavity. The other end of the air guide channel can be connected to the water distribution cavity.

[0351] The gas inside the outer cylinder can enter the water distribution chamber through the gas guide channel.

[0352] In some embodiments of this application, by setting up an air guide pipe, air from the outer cylinder cavity can enter the water distributor through the air guide pipe. The relatively long channel increases the time and length of heat exchange between the gas and the surrounding gas, reducing the temperature of the gas flowing into the water distributor, lowering the temperature of the soap box, reducing the possibility of condensation after the soap box is pulled out and condensation on the box near the soap box, preventing condensate from dripping onto the ground, improving user experience, and eliminating safety hazards. It is easy to install, has good reliability, good versatility, and low cost. Setting the air guide pipe inside the water distribution box allows condensate generated on the air guide pipe to drip into the water distribution box, enabling the collection of condensate and redistribution into the outer cylinder cavity for reuse, saving water resources. Setting up the gas guide pipe to the water distributor increases the length of the gas flow path, increases heat exchange, lowers the gas temperature, and allows the water inlet function of the water distributor to cool the gas with cold water, minimizing the gas's impact on the soap box temperature and guiding condensate back into the outer cylinder for water reuse.

[0353] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 24-25 The air guiding channel may include several first air guiding channels 69111.

[0354] Several first air guide channels can be arranged sequentially along the width of the water distribution box.

[0355] In some embodiments of this application, in the vertical direction, one end of the first air guide channel is located below the other end of the first straight channel, so that the first air guide channel can guide the air to the lower part of the water distribution box, avoiding the air from having a large impact on the front end of the water distribution box and the front end of the soap box, and avoiding the generation of condensation at the front end of the water distribution box and the front end of the soap box.

[0356] In some embodiments of this application, the first air guide channel may be vertically arranged.

[0357] In some embodiments of this application, the top ends or bottom ends of two adjacent first air guide channels may be connected.

[0358] In some embodiments of this application, among three adjacent first air channels, the top end of the middle first air channel can be connected to the top end of the first air channel on one side, and the bottom end of the middle first air channel can be connected to the bottom end of the first air channel on the other side.

[0367] The fourth air guide channel 69114 can be connected between the first air guide channel and the second air guide channel.

[0368] In some embodiments of this application, the first air guide channel can be a straight channel. Setting the first air guide channel as a curved channel can increase its length, enhance heat exchange with the surrounding air, lower the air temperature, and reduce condensation on the soap dish. The first air guide channel can be a curved channel.

[0369] In some embodiments of this application, the second air guide channel can be a straight channel. Setting the second air guide channel as a curved channel can increase its length, enhance heat exchange with the surrounding air, lower the air temperature, and reduce condensation on the soap dish. The second air guide channel can be a curved channel.

[0370] In some embodiments of this application, the third air guide channel can be a curved channel. Setting the third air guide channel as a curved channel can increase the length of the air guide channel, enhance the degree of heat exchange with the surrounding air, reduce the air temperature, and reduce condensation on the soap dish. The third air guide channel can also be a straight channel.

[0371] In some embodiments of this application, the fourth air guide channel can be a curved channel.

[0376] One end of the first channel 4931 of the water distribution box can be connected to the outer cylinder cavity. The other end of the first channel 4931 of the water distribution box can be connected to one end of the air guide channel.

[0377] The gas inside the outer cylinder cavity can enter the water distribution cavity through the first channel of the water distribution box and the air guide channel.

[0378] The first channel 4931 of the water distribution box is set to facilitate the connection between the outer cylinder cavity and the air guide channel.

[0384] In some embodiments of this application, the air duct 691 can be located behind the soap dish to prevent the high-temperature gas in the outer drum cavity from entering the air duct and having an excessive impact on the temperature of the soap dish and the front end of the water distribution box. This also prevents a large amount of condensate from forming on the soap dish and the cabinet, and prevents condensate from dripping onto the ground and causing users to suspect that the washing machine is leaking. This reduces user dissatisfaction and improves the user experience.

[0385] There can be a certain gap between the air duct 691 and the rear end of the soap box, so that the heat transfer between the air duct and the soap box is reduced, thus reducing the generation of condensation in the soap box.

[0386] In some embodiments of this application, the first channel of the water distribution box can be formed at the rear end of the water distribution box, so that the air guide channel can be connected to the outer cylinder cavity through the first channel of the water distribution box.

[0387] The second channel of the water distribution box can be formed at the rear end of the water distribution box to facilitate the connection between the air guide channel and the water distribution chamber.

[0389] The water distribution chamber and the drain outlet of the water distribution box can be connected. Water in the water distribution chamber can flow into the water distribution box cavity through the water outlet. Water in the water distribution box cavity can be discharged into the outer cylinder through the drain outlet of the water distribution box.
