[0034] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 and Fig.12 As shown, a household appliance with a drainage structure is provided, including a base 1 arranged at the bottom of the household appliance and a drainage component 2 connected to the drainage valve of the household appliance, the base 1 is provided with a plurality of transformation structures 3 that can change the drainage direction of the drainage component 2, the transformation structure 3 is arranged on the outer side wall of the base 1, one end of the drainage component 2 is connected to the drainage valve, and the other end of the drainage component 2 is provided with a connecting structure 4, and the other end of the drainage component is fixed to the transformation structure 3 through the connecting structure 4, so that the drainage component 2 can be installed at different positions of the base 1.

[0036] Specifically, by setting up multiple transformation structures 3, the drainage direction of the drainage component 2 can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user to meet the requirements of different home environments and installation positions, thereby improving the user's adaptability and convenience. The connection structure 4 can be used to ensure that the drainage component 2 is stably installed in three drainage directions at the back and on the left and right sides. The user can install the drainage component 2 to different positions and directions according to actual usage requirements. It has a simple structure, reliable performance and strong practicality.

[0037] Further, if Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 13-Figure 15 As shown, the transformation structure 3 is located on the left side wall, the right side wall and the rear side wall of the base 1 .

[0038] Furthermore, there are more than two transformation structures 3, which are respectively arranged at different positions or in different directions on the outer wall of the base 1, and the other end of the drainage component 2 is connected to one of the transformation structures 3, thereby changing the drainage direction of the drainage component 2.

[0039] Specifically, multiple transformation structures 3 are respectively arranged at different positions of the outer wall of the base 1, and the outer wall of the base 1 includes the rear side, left side, right side and front side of the base 1, so that the drainage component 2 can be connected to different transformation structures 3 as needed to achieve multi-directional drainage; a covering plate 302 is used to cover the unused transformation structure 3 to protect the internal structure and maintain a beautiful appearance.

[0040] Further, if Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 and Fig.12 As shown, the drainage component 2 includes a drainage pipe joint 201, the connecting structure 4 is located on the drainage pipe joint 201, the transformation structure 3 includes a positioning groove 301 matching the drainage pipe joint 201, and the drainage pipe joint 201 is fixedly installed on the positioning groove 301 through the connecting structure 4.

[0041] Specifically, the connection structure 4 of the drain pipe joint 201 is aligned with the positioning groove 301. The drain pipe joint 201 is firmly fixed on the positioning groove 301 through the connection structure 4. It is ensured that the drain pipe joint 201 is tightly matched with the positioning groove 301, and the drain assembly 2 is firmly installed, which can ensure that the drain assembly 2 can be reliably fixed when installed in different directions.

[0042] Further, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, an opening 3011 is provided on the positioning groove 301, and the connecting structure 4 includes an elastic buckle 401, which is arranged on the circumference of the drain pipe connector 201. When the drain pipe connector 201 passes through the opening 3011, the elastic buckle 401 is deformed so that at least a part of the drain pipe connector 201 is positioned in the opening 3011 through the elastic buckle 401.

[0043] Specifically, align the drain pipe connector 201 with the opening 3011 on the positioning groove 301 and insert the drain pipe connector 201. When passing through the opening 3011, the elastic buckle 401 is deformed, and the drain pipe connector 201 continues to advance until the elastic buckle 401 passes through the opening 3011 and returns to its original shape, ensuring that the drain pipe connector 201 is firmly positioned in the opening 3011 through the elastic buckle 401. The drain pipe connector 201 can be automatically positioned and fixed. The user only needs to insert the drain pipe connector 201 without the need for additional tools, which greatly simplifies the installation process and improves the convenience and reliability of installation.

[0044] Further, if Figure 5-Figure 9 As shown, a limiting structure 5 is provided on the drainage pipe joint 201 , and the drainage pipe joint 201 abuts against the inner wall of the positioning groove 301 through the limiting structure 5 .

[0045] Specifically, by setting the limiting structure 5, the drain pipe connector 201 can be accurately positioned in the positioning groove 301, avoiding over-insertion or position displacement, ensuring the stability and reliability of the drain pipe connector 201 during use, and preventing loosening; the limiting structure 5 provides additional support and positioning functions, so that the drain pipe connector 201 remains stable in the positioning groove 301.

[0046] Further, if Figure 5-Figure 9 As shown, the limiting structure 5 includes a first limiting rib 501 and a second limiting rib 502, which are arranged in the circumferential direction of the drainage pipe joint 201, and the drainage pipe joint 201 is abutted against the inner wall of the positioning groove 301 through the first limiting rib 501 and the second limiting rib 502.

[0047] Specifically, the provision of the first limiting rib 501 and the second limiting rib 502 can provide additional support force and stability, and reduce the displacement of the drainage pipe joint 201 under vibration or external force.

[0048] Further, if Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, a positioning structure 6 is provided between the first limiting rib 501 and the positioning groove 301, and the positioning structure 6 includes a latch 601 and a latch hole 602. The latch 601 is arranged on the first limiting rib 501 and / or the second limiting rib 502, and the latch hole 602 is arranged on the positioning groove 301. The latch 601 is matched and connected with the latch hole 602 to realize the fixed installation of the drainage pipe joint 201 on the positioning groove 301.

[0049] Specifically, the combination of the latch 601 and the latch hole 602 provides an additional fixing point, which effectively prevents the drain pipe connector 201 from loosening, displacement or rotation due to vibration or external force, and can further enhance the fixing firmness of the drain pipe connector 201 in the positioning groove 301, ensuring its stability during use.

[0050] Further, if Figure 6 As shown, the elastic buckle 401 is provided with a guide surface 4011 and a positioning surface 4012 . During installation, the guide surface 4011 abuts against the opening 3011 to deform the elastic buckle 401 , so that the positioning surface 4012 fits against the inner wall of the opening 3011 .

[0051] Specifically, by providing a guide surface 4011 and a positioning surface 4012 on the elastic buckle 401, when the user installs the drain pipe connector 201, the guide surface 4011 can guide the drain pipe connector 201 to pass through the opening 3011 smoothly, and the elastic buckle 401 can automatically deform, thereby simplifying the installation process; the positioning surface 4012 can ensure that the elastic buckle 401 can fit tightly with the inner wall of the opening 3011 after the deformation is restored, thereby improving the stability of the drain pipe connector 201.

[0052] The cooperation between the guide surface 4011 and the positioning surface 4012 enables the drainage pipe joint 201 to be accurately positioned during the installation process, thereby reducing problems caused by improper installation and improving installation accuracy and reliability.

[0053] Further, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the drainage component 2 also includes a drainage connecting pipe 202, one end of which is connected to the drainage valve, and the drainage pipe joint 201 is located on the other end of the drainage connecting pipe 202; the drainage connecting pipe 202 includes a flexible pipe or a corrugated pipe.

[0054] Specifically, one end of the drainage connecting pipe 202 is connected to the drainage valve through a sealant and / or a snap assembly, thereby reducing the risk of water leakage and loosening.

[0055] Further, if Figure 13-Figure 15As shown, the transformation structure 3 further includes a cover plate 302 covering the positioning groove 301 , and the cover plate 302 and the base 1 are an integrally formed structure or a separately formed structure.

[0056] Specifically, through the design of the cover plate 302, the positioning groove 301 can be protected when not in use, and the drainage assembly 2 can be flexibly adjusted in different positions and directions to meet the needs of different users, thereby improving installation convenience and use flexibility;

[0057] When the cover plate 302 and the base 1 are formed as an integral structure, the manufacturing and installation steps of the additional components are reduced, the production process is simplified, and the production cost is reduced;

[0058] When the cover plate 302 and the base 1 are split-molded structures, the cover plate 302 and the base 1 are manufactured independently and then connected by screws and / or snaps, or bonding, or magnetic attraction, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement, while reducing mold complexity and production restrictions.

[0059] Further, if Figure 13-Figure 15 As shown, a plurality of evenly spaced connecting ribs 7 are provided between the cover plate 302 and the base 1 .

[0060] Specifically, when the drainage component 2 is installed on the rear wall of the base 1, the cover plate 302 is knocked or pried open by a tool to separate the cover plate 302 from the connecting rib 7 to form a positioning groove 301. The drainage component 2 can then be installed to achieve drainage from the rear side. When the drainage component 2 is installed on the left or right wall of the base 1, the cover plate 302 is removed in the same manner.
