Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drum washing machines, in particular to a kneading type drum washing machine. Background Art

[0002] At present, washing machines on the market are mainly divided into pulsator washing machines and drum washing machines. Among them: pulsator washing machines have the defects of easy tangling and deformation of clothes, high wear of clothes, and high water consumption during the washing process; drum washing machines have overcome the shortcomings of the former to a certain extent, but the washing effect is inferior to that of pulsator washing machines.

[0003] The drum washing machine relies on the centrifugal force generated by the forward and reverse rotation of the washing drum to collide the washed materials with multiple ridges provided on the inner wall of the washing drum to achieve washing by imitating manual hammering. Under this working mode, the effective washing area is the circumferential part where the clothes are in contact with the inner wall of the washing drum, while there are a large number of blind spots for the washed materials to collide and hammer in other spaces in the drum, which is particularly obvious when there are a lot of washed materials, thus affecting the washing effect. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a kneading drum washing machine by driving the kneading wheel of the washing tub through a reverse rotating device.

[0005] One of the purposes of the utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0006] A kneading drum washing machine comprises a water tub and a washing tub arranged in the inner cavity of the water tub, a hollow shaft is fixedly connected at the middle position on the left side of the washing tub, and the left end of the hollow shaft extends to the left side of the water tub and is sleeved and fixed with a rotating wheel, a first gear is sleeved and fixed on the hollow shaft, and a clutch gear is engaged at the bottom of the first gear, an automatic clutch is arranged at the bottom of the clutch gear, a bracket is installed on the rear side of the water tub, and a gear box is installed on the left side of the bracket, the automatic clutch is arranged in the inner cavity of the gear box, a spindle is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the hollow shaft, and a kneading wheel is fixedly connected to the right end of the spindle, a spindle gear is sleeved and fixed near the left end of the spindle, and a second gear is engaged at the bottom of the spindle gear, a third gear is arranged on the right side of the second gear, and a fourth gear is engaged at the bottom of the third gear, and the hollow shaft, the first gear, the clutch gear, the spindle, the spindle gear, the fourth gear, the third gear, and the second gear constitute a reversing device.

[0007] Furthermore, the reverse device is composed of three groups of small-module gears and corresponding gear shafts, wherein the first gear is fixed on the hollow shaft and is the main driving gear for driving the spindle to rotate in reverse. It shares kinetic energy with the roller and rotates simultaneously. The spindle gear is fixed at the left end of the spindle, and the second gear on the reverse rotating device drives the spindle gear to drive the rubbing wheel at the right end of the spindle.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of ridges are fixedly connected to the surface of the kneading wheel, and the front cross section of the kneading wheel is conical.

[0009] Furthermore, the clutch gear, the fourth gear, the third gear and the second gear are fixed in a sector gear box, the third gear is coaxial with the second gear, and the clutch gear is pulled out of the first gear by a controlled electromagnetic switch, and is automatically reset to engage with the first gear by a pressure spring.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0011] 1. The reverse rubbing wheel is set to effectively change the movement trajectory of the washed material in the drum, eliminate the inherent blind spot of the traditional drum washing machine, and significantly improve the washing effect. Since the rubbing wheel is perpendicular to the drum axis, the friction generated by the gravity of the material and the convex surface is avoided during the reverse rotation and washing process, so that the friction between the material and the convex edge of the rubbing wheel is greatly reduced, thereby effectively avoiding the mechanical wear of the washed material. While improving the washing effect, it can also maintain the advantage of low wear of the drum washing machine on the material. Since the device adopts small modulus and high-precision gears, and all groups of gears, gear shafts and other components are highly integrated in the gear box, it is not only easy to install, but also occupies a small space, so that after the use of the utility model, the original machine appearance is basically unchanged. When different models are upgraded and renovated using this utility model, it is only necessary to slightly change the convex platform of the rear cover of the washing machine according to the installation requirements of the gear box. In summary, the utility model has the unique advantages of not only good washing effect, but also low development cost, high commercial value, and easy transformation to mass production due to the small number of components involved in the new or changed design.

The clutch gear 9 is coaxial with the fourth gear 15, and the third gear 13 is coaxial with the second gear 14. The clutch gear 9 is pulled away from the first gear 8 by the controlled electromagnetic switch, and is automatically reset and engaged with the first gear 8 by the pressure spring, thereby completing the automatic control of the reversing device. The product of the three groups of gear ratios determines the speed ratio of the reverse rotation of the spindle 11 and the rotation of the drum. The gear module is determined according to the load of the washing machine rubbing wheel. On the premise of meeting the strength Small modulus gears are used as much as possible to reduce the volume and integrate the installation. Bearings or bearing sleeves are configured at both ends of each gear shaft according to its maximum speed. Oil-resistant sealing rings are set on the outside of the bearings or bearing sleeves.
