Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of washing machines, in particular to a washing machine with a clothes drying rack function. Background Art

[0002] After washing, the user needs to put his arm into the washing tub to take out the clothes from the washing tub. In addition, the clothes are usually tangled together and need to be untangled and put on the clothes drying rack to dry. This process is troublesome. Moreover, due to the tangling and stacking of the clothes, many parts of the clothes may be washed unevenly, and the dehydration and drying efficiency is not ideal. When taking out the clothes, it is difficult to untie the clothes, and the user can only pick up the clothes together. In the process of taking the clothes out of the washing tub, the clothes are easy to fall to the ground, causing the clothes to be dirty and need to be washed again.

[0038] 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.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, a washing machine with a clothes drying rack function is provided, including an inner barrel 2, a pulsator 3 rotatable relative to the inner barrel 2 is provided at the bottom of the inner barrel 2, a clothes fixing assembly 4 for clamping clothes for washing and dehydration in the inner barrel 2 is provided on the pulsator 3, the clothes fixing assembly 4 includes a fixed shaft 401 and a clothes drying rack 402, the clothes drying rack 402 is fixedly mounted on the fixed shaft 401, a locking structure 5 is provided on the fixed shaft 401, the fixed shaft 401 is vertically mounted on the pulsator 3 through the locking structure 5, so that the clothes fixing assembly 4 rotates synchronously with the pulsator 3 during the washing and dehydration process.

[0040] Specifically, the clothing fixing assembly 4 is connected to the impeller 3 via a fixed shaft 401, and a locking structure 5 is utilized to ensure that it rotates synchronously with the impeller 3 during the washing and dehydration processes; the clothing on the clothes drying rack 402 can be fixed and dispersed individually, so that the clothing will not be entangled with each other during the washing process, thereby ensuring the washing effect; when the washing is finished, the user can easily take the entire clothing fixing assembly 4 out of the washing machine and move it directly to the drying area for drying.

[0041] The clothes fixing assembly 4 can be directly inserted into the impeller 3 of the washing machine through the locking structure 5 and automatically fixed. The installation is very convenient and reliable. If the washing machine does not need the function of this clothes fixing assembly 4, it can also be easily removed from the washing machine and used as a general clothes drying rack alone, and the washing machine can also be used normally at the same time; after the clothes fixing assembly 4 is installed on the impeller 3 of the washing machine, during the washing process, the clothes fixing assembly 4 will rotate with the impeller, and the normal washing and dehydration process of the clothes can be completed. Since each piece of clothing is separately fixed on the clothes drying rack, the clothes will not be entangled and stacked together, thereby achieving a more uniform and clean washing effect. For a washing machine with a drying function, the drying efficiency will also be higher; after washing, the entire clothes fixing assembly 4 can also be easily removed from the impeller 3 of the washing machine, and the clothes fixing assembly 4 can be directly placed on the balcony for drying, reducing the cumbersome process of untangling entangled clothes.

[0042] Further, if Figure 2 , Figure 4-Figure 8 As shown, the locking structure 5 includes a locking rod 501 rotatable on the fixed shaft 401, a mounting portion 301 is provided in the middle of the impeller 3, and the fixed shaft 401 is fixed on the mounting portion 301 through the locking rod 501;

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a lock buckle 5011 is provided on one end of the lock rod 501 , and a positioning hole 3011 matching with the lock buckle 5011 is provided on the mounting portion 301 ; when the fixed shaft 401 is inserted into the mounting portion 301 , the lock buckle 5011 is buckled with the positioning hole 3011 .

[0044] Specifically, when the fixed shaft 401 is inserted into the mounting portion 301 through the locking rod 501, the lock buckle 5011 is automatically aligned and buckled into the positioning hole 3011, thereby achieving synchronous rotation with the impeller 3 during the washing and dehydration process, preventing any mechanical failure or clothing damage caused by loose components, and providing better operational convenience and mechanical stability.

[0045] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a lock buckle 5011 is provided on one end of the lock rod 501, and an opening 4012 for the lock buckle 5011 to pass through is provided on the fixed shaft 401;

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, a positioning hole 3011 cooperating with the fixed shaft 401 is provided on the mounting portion 301 , and a step surface 4011 is provided on one end of the fixed shaft 401 for preventing the fixed shaft 401 from rotating relative to the impeller 3 .

[0047] Specifically, the opening 4012 is arranged so that when the locking rod 501 rotates, the lock buckle 5011 moves in the opening 4012. In this way, the lock buckle 5011 can be locked or released from the positioning hole 3011 of the impeller 3, thereby fixing or removing the fixed shaft 401; the lock buckle 5011 is allowed to move vertically or horizontally while the locking rod 501 rotates, thereby realizing or releasing the locking state;

[0048] The step surface 4011 at one end of the fixed shaft 401 cooperates with the corresponding part of the impeller 3, which not only helps the fixed shaft to automatically find the correct insertion position during installation, but also prevents the fixed shaft 401 from rotating relative to the impeller 3 during the washing process, thereby maintaining the correct position of the clothing fixing assembly.

[0049] Further, if Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the locking structure 5 further includes an unlocking assembly 502 , which is located on the other end of the fixed shaft 401 . When the unlocking assembly 502 drives the locking rod 501 to rotate, the locking rod 501 is separated from the mounting portion 301 .

[0050] Specifically, the unlocking component 502 is used to drive the locking rod 501 to rotate, thereby achieving quick unlocking. When the unlocking component 502 is operated, the locking rod 501 is rotated through mechanical linkage, electric motor or other driving methods, causing the lock buckle 5011 to disengage from the positioning hole 3011 of the mounting portion 301, thereby releasing the fixed shaft 401.

[0051] Further, if Figure 3 , Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the unlocking assembly 502 includes a button cap 5021 for driving the lock rod 501 to rotate. When a force is applied to the button cap 5021, the lock rod 501 is driven to rotate, so that the lock buckle 5011 is away from the positioning hole 3011;

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a pin shaft 6 is provided between the locking rod 501 and the fixed shaft 401 , and the locking rod 501 can rotate inside the fixed shaft 401 through the pin shaft 6 .

[0053] Specifically, when the user applies a force (such as pressing) to the button cap 5021, the locking rod 501 will rotate around the pin shaft 6, so that the lock buckle 5011 moves along the opening 4012 and finally disengages from the positioning hole 3011 to achieve unlocking. Quick unlocking can be achieved through simple operation of the button cap 5021, which improves the convenience of user operation; the pin shaft 6 is the axis connecting the fixed axis 401 and the locking rod 501, allowing the locking rod 501 to rotate freely within the fixed axis 401 without leaving its position, preventing displacement or misalignment during rotation, and ensuring the reliability and safety of the unlocking process.

[0054] Further, if Figure 3 , Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the unlocking assembly 502 further includes an elastic reset member 5022 that cooperates with the lock rod 501 and the key cap 5021; when a force is applied to the key cap 5021, the key cap 5021 drives the lock rod 501 to rotate and deforms the elastic reset member 5022; when the external force is removed, the lock rod 501 is reset under the action of the elastic reset member 5022;

[0055] The lock buckle 5011 is provided with a guide surface 5011a that matches the mounting portion 301. When the guide surface 5011a contacts the mounting portion 301, the lock rod 501 is driven to rotate relative to the fixed shaft 401 and squeeze the elastic reset member 5022, and the lock rod 501 is reset by the elastic reset member 5022.

[0056] A fixing groove 4013 is formed on the fixing shaft 401 , one end of the elastic reset member 5022 abuts against the fixing groove 4013 , and the other end of the elastic reset member 5022 abuts against the locking rod 501 .

[0057] Specifically, the elastic reset member 5022 ensures that the locking rod 501 can automatically return to the initial position after operation, which increases the convenience of use and reduces operational errors; when the user applies force to the button cap 5021, the locking rod 501 is driven to rotate, and the elastic reset member 5022 is deformed at the same time. This deformation stores energy. After the external force is removed, the elastic reset member 5022 releases the stored energy and pushes the locking rod 501 back to its original position, i.e. reset; when installing or disassembling the clothing fixing component 4, the locking rod 501 can be rotated by pressing the button cap 5021.

[0058] The setting of the guide surface 5011a ensures the correct path of the locking rod 501 during the rotation process. The guide surface 5011a on the lock buckle 5011 helps to guide the correct rotation of the locking rod 501 relative to the fixed shaft 401 when in contact with the mounting portion 301, and also promotes the elastic reset member 5022 to squeeze and store energy for reset.

[0059] One end of the elastic reset member 5022 abuts against the fixing groove 4013 on the fixing shaft 401, and the other end abuts against the locking rod 501. This layout uses the fixing groove 4013 as a fulcrum to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the elastic reset member during the force application and release process.

[0060] Furthermore, the elastic reset member 5022 includes a spring, or an elastic body made of rubber or silicone.

[0061] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a lifting structure 7 is provided between the fixed shaft 401 and the clothes drying rack 402 , and the clothes drying rack 402 can move up and down on the fixed shaft 401 and relative to the inner barrel 2 through the lifting structure 7 .

[0062] Specifically, by adjusting the position of the clothes rack 402, the loading method of the inner barrel can be optimized according to the different types and weights of clothes, thereby improving the efficiency and uniformity of washing and dehydration; the user can adjust the position of the clothes rack 402 according to different washing needs. For example, for longer clothes, the position of the clothes rack can be raised to avoid that part of the clothes is located on the impeller 3.

[0063] In other embodiments, the lifting structure 7 can adopt a variety of different mechanisms, such as a spiral lifting mechanism, a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, a gear rack mechanism, etc., to achieve automatic control of the position of the clothes rack; the lifting mechanism can be manually operated, for example, by adjusting the height of the clothes rack through a knob or a crank.

[0064] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting structure 7 includes a slide groove 701 and an adjusting member 702. The slide groove 701 is arranged along the axial direction of the fixed shaft 401 and is located on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 401. A positioning sleeve 4021 is provided in the middle of the clothes drying rack 402. The clothes drying rack 402 is mounted on the fixed shaft 401 through the positioning sleeve 4021 and can be moved up and down along the slide groove 701. The clothes drying rack 402 is locked on the slide groove 701 through the adjusting member 702.

[0065] Specifically, the slide groove 701 is arranged along the axial direction of the fixed shaft 401 and is located on the outer side wall of the fixed shaft, and can make the positioning sleeve 4021 on the clothes drying rack 402 slide on the track, allowing the clothes drying rack 402 to move up and down along the fixed shaft 401;

[0066] A positioning sleeve 4021 is provided in the middle of the clothes drying rack 402, and the clothes drying rack 402 can move freely on the fixed shaft 401 through the positioning sleeve 4021. At the same time, the positioning sleeve 4021 ensures the smooth movement of the clothes drying rack and prevents shaking;

[0067] The adjusting member 702 is used to lock the clothes drying rack 402 at a specific position of the slide slot 701 . The user can manually or automatically fix the height of the clothes drying rack through the adjusting member 702 .

[0068] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clothes drying rack 402 includes an annular frame body 4022, a hanging rod 4023 arranged on the annular frame body 4022, and a clothes hanging part 4024 arranged on the hanging rod 4023. The hanging rod 4023 is connected to the annular frame body 4022, and the inner diameter of the annular frame body 4022 is smaller than the inner diameter of the inner barrel 2.

[0069] Specifically, the design of the annular frame 4022 enables it to evenly distribute weight, reduce the shaking of the clothes drying rack during washing, improve the uniformity of washing and dehydration, and is connected to the fixed shaft 401 through the positioning sleeve 4021 to achieve up and down movement; the inner diameter of the annular frame is smaller than the inner diameter of the inner barrel 2, ensuring that it does not contact the barrel wall when rotating in the inner barrel, avoiding friction damage; through the arrangement of the hanging rod 4023 and the clothes hanging part 4024, each piece of clothing can be hung independently, preventing entanglement and stacking of clothes, and ensuring the washing effect of the clothes.

[0070] Further, if Figure 2 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the clothes hanging portion 4024 includes one or more clips, or a clothes hanging net, or a combination of a clip and a clothes hanging net.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, when the clothes hanging part 4024 is one or more clips, a plurality of clips are arranged in an array on the annular frame 4022 and the hanging rod 4023 to clamp and fix the clothes. It should be noted that the clips have sufficient clamping force to ensure that the clothes will not fall off during the washing and dehydration process. The structure is simple, easy to use, and suitable for various types of clothes.

[0072] like Fig. 9 As shown, when the clothes hanging part 4024 is a clothes hanging net, the clothes hanging net is in a bag-like structure, the top of the clothes hanging net has an opening, and clothes can be put into the clothes hanging net from the opening for washing, and the bottom of the clothes hanging net is closed; the clothes hanging net has one or more, and multiple clothes hanging nets are arranged in an array on the annular frame 4022 and the hanging rod 4023; in other embodiments, the clothes hanging net can be closed by a zipper, Velcro or other means to ensure that the clothes will not fall out of the net. The clothes hanging net can protect the clothes, prevent the clothes from being entangled and damaged, and is suitable for washing delicate or small clothes.

[0073] like Fig.10As shown, when the clothes hanging part 4024 is a combination of a clip and a clothes hanging net, the clip and the clothes hanging net are fixed on the annular frame 4022 and the hanging rod 4023, and the clip and the clothes hanging net are arranged one by one. The clip is located in the clothes hanging net. The clip is used to clamp the edge or specific part of the clothes to prevent the clothes from falling off or getting entangled during washing and dehydration. The bottom of the clothes hanging net can be closed or open.

[0074] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the height dimension H1 of the fixed shaft 401 matches the height dimension H2 of the inner barrel 2; a hook 4014 for drying is provided on the end of the fixed shaft 401.

[0075] Specifically, the height dimension H1 of the fixed shaft 401 matches the height dimension H2 of the inner barrel 2, so that the fixed shaft 401 can cover the entire height range of the inner barrel 2, allowing the clothes drying rack 402 to be adjusted up and down at any position in the inner barrel 2;

[0076] When the washing process is completed, the user can directly move the clothes drying rack 402 out of the inner barrel and use the hook 4014 at the top of the fixed shaft to hang the clothes for drying, which simplifies the operation process from washing to drying.

[0077] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of stirring ribs 302 are provided on the impeller 3 , and a drainage hole 303 is provided between two stirring ribs 302 .

[0078] Specifically, the arrangement of multiple stirring ribs 302 enables the water flow and mechanical force generated by the rotation of the impeller 3 to enhance the stirring effect on the clothes during the washing process, which helps to more effectively clean the dirt on the clothes; the drainage holes 303 are used to quickly drain the water in the inner barrel during the dehydration process, prevent the clothes from being soaked in water for a long time during the washing and dehydration processes, and improve the dehydration efficiency.

[0079] Further, if Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the washing machine also includes a driving assembly, which includes a driving member and a transmission clutch 8 connected to the driving member. The impeller 3 is provided with a connecting hole 304 that is matched with the output shaft of the transmission clutch 8. The output shaft of the transmission clutch 802 is tightly matched with the connecting hole 304 and fixedly connected by screws.

[0080] Specifically, the transmission clutch 8 is used to transmit the rotational power of the driving member, and the output shaft of the transmission clutch 8 and the impeller 3 are fixed by screws to ensure a stable connection between the impeller 3 and the transmission clutch 8.

[0081] It should be noted that the driving component includes but is not limited to a variable frequency motor, a DC motor, an AC motor, or a stepping motor.

[0082] Furthermore, the central axis of the mounting portion 301 coincides with the central axis of the connecting hole 304, ensuring that the rotation center of the impeller 3 is consistent with the rotation center of the impeller 3, reducing vibration and noise caused by eccentricity, and improving transmission efficiency and stability.
