Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of washing machines, and more specifically to a thread scraps collecting self-cleaning device for a washing machine. Background Art

[0002] Washing machine lint collection refers to the process in which the washing machine automatically collects and removes fibers, debris and other impurities that fall off the clothes through a special device or system during the washing process. These impurities usually include lint, fibers, fluff, paper scraps, etc., which may have an adverse effect on the normal operation of the washing machine and the washing effect of the clothes, so they need to be cleaned regularly.

[0003] The design and function of washing machine lint collection devices vary by brand and model. Some washing machines use built-in filters or collection bags to collect lint, while others use external collectors or blowers to remove lint. These devices can be maintained and cleaned by hand cleaning or automatic cleaning.

[0004] Some existing washing machine lint collection self-cleaning devices use a fan to suck lint into the air chamber during the drying process after washing clothes. The filter in the air chamber isolates the lint to one side of the filter, and then the sprinkler on the other side of the filter is used to rinse off the lint on the filter, and finally the water mixed with lint is discharged through the pipe. However, the water supply pressure in some old communities is insufficient, and the water pressure of the sprinkler is low, resulting in the lint on the filter not being cleaned properly, which will affect the subsequent lint filtration of the washing machine. In addition, the pipe is easily clogged with lint when the water mixed with lint is discharged.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the present application proposes a lint collection and self-cleaning device for a washing machine. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a lint collecting and self-cleaning device for a washing machine.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: the lint collection self-cleaning device for a washing machine comprises a washing machine, an air chamber is provided in the washing machine, a track is axially symmetrically provided on the inner side wall of the air chamber, one end of a slide rod for moving bristles is slidably connected in the track, a piston rod of a cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the slide rod, and the cylinder is installed on the outer side wall of the air chamber;

[0008] The bottom of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to multiple groups of L-shaped fixing parts, and two of the fixing parts form a group. The long ends of one group of fixing parts are rotatably connected to the surface of the plate through a rotating block. The upper surface of the plate is axially symmetrically fixedly connected to one end of the long block, and the other end of the long block is rotatably connected to one end of a telescopic rod for rotating bristles. The other end of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected between the short ends of a group of fixing parts. Bristles for brushing off wire scraps on the filter screen are arranged at the bottom of the plate, so as to realize the self-cleaning function of brushing off wire scraps on the filter screen, and prevent the cleaning work of wire scraps on the filter screen from being affected by the water pressure of the water supply.

[0009] Preferably, the length of the short end of the fixing piece matches the length of the block and the height of the long block.

[0010] Preferably, an air duct is provided at the bottom of the air cavity, and a filter screen for filtering out wire scraps is installed at the top of the air duct.

[0011] Preferably, a collecting box is provided at one end of the air chamber where the cylinder is installed, and the collecting box can be detachably plugged into the washing machine. A collecting port is provided at one end of the collecting box close to the air chamber, and comb teeth for combing out thread scraps on the bristles are installed on the collecting port. A box cover for convenient pouring out thread scraps is provided on the collecting box, and a slot for taking out the collecting box from the washing machine is provided on one side of the collecting box, thereby realizing the collection of thread scraps and avoiding the discharge of water mixed with thread scraps through the pipe, which would cause the pipe to be blocked by thread scraps.

[0012] Preferably, a fan for sucking lint into the air cavity and blowing air into the washing machine barrel is provided at the bottom of the air duct, and a heater for drying clothes is provided at the end of the fan. The dry weight of the lint becomes smaller, making it easier for the lint to be sucked into the air cavity.

[0013] Preferably, the heater is connected to the outer barrel through a pipe, an inner barrel for placing washed clothes is provided inside the outer barrel, and a circular hole for thread scraps to enter between the outer barrel and the inner barrel is opened on the inner barrel.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In the utility model, bristles are arranged under the slide rod, and the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the cylinder causes the slide rod to move back and forth horizontally and linearly between the two tracks, thereby achieving the technical effect of self-cleaning by brushing off the lint on the filter screen, thereby solving the problem that some existing lint collection self-cleaning devices for washing machines in the prior art flush out the lint on the filter screen through a spray head, while the water supply pressure in some old communities is insufficient and the water pressure of the spray head is relatively low, resulting in unclean cleaning of the lint on the filter screen, which will affect the subsequent lint filtering of the washing machine.

[0016] 2. In the utility model, by setting a collection box, when the cylinder piston rod is extended to the longest, the telescopic rod is retracted to a length of two long blocks, the plate rotates to be parallel to the horizontal plane, the bristles are perpendicular to the horizontal plane and one end is attached to the bottom of the air cavity, the cylinder piston rod is retracted into the cylinder, and the bristles sweep the wire scraps on the filter screen from the collection port into the collection box, achieving the technical effect of collecting the wire scraps, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that the water mixed with wire scraps is discharged through the pipe and the pipe is easily blocked by the wire scraps.

[0017] 3. In the utility model, by setting the comb teeth, the bristles move to the side of the comb teeth with the sliding rod. When the telescopic rod extends the length of two long blocks, the plate rotates to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the bristles are parallel to the horizontal plane, the bristles enter the gap between the comb teeth, the cylinder piston rod extends out of the cylinder, the bristles move away from the comb teeth, and the wire scraps adhered to the bristles are combed off by the comb teeth and dropped into the collection box, thereby avoiding excessive wire scraps adhered to the bristles and affecting the subsequent cleaning of the wire scraps on the filter.

The long ends of a group of fixing members 5 are rotatably connected to the surface of the plate 7 through a rotating block 6. The upper surface of the plate 7 is axially symmetrically fixedly connected to one end of a long block 8. The other end of the long block 8 is rotatably connected to one end of a telescopic rod 9 for rotating bristles 10. The other end of the telescopic rod 9 is rotatably connected between the short ends of a group of fixing members 5. The bottom of the plate 7 is provided with bristles 10 for brushing off the wire scraps on the filter screen 11, so as to realize the self-cleaning function of brushing off the wire scraps on the filter screen 11, and avoid the cleaning work of the wire scraps on the filter screen 11 being affected by the water pressure of the water supply.
