[0027] An electric winch is provided in the electric tractor 2, and a traction rope 3 is fixedly connected between the valve stem 4 and the electric winch of the electric tractor 2, and the electric tractor 2 can drive the traction rope 3 to retract and rise and fall;

[0028] The sealed drainage control assembly also includes a water inlet elbow 13, which is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the drainage valve body 1, a valve stem 4 is arranged on the drainage valve body 1, a sealing convex edge 15 is formed between the water inlet elbow 13 and the drainage valve body 1, and a rubber sealing bowl 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the valve stem 4;

[0029] The cross section of the rubber sealing bowl 9 is in the shape of a Chinese numeral 9 . The central vertical portion of the rubber sealing bowl 9 is a conical surface. The lower end surface of the rubber sealing bowl 9 is used to seal the sealing convex edge 15 .

[0030] Furthermore, a sealing valve cover 11 is threadedly connected to the drain valve body 1, and a sealing ring 12 is fixedly connected to the sealing valve cover 11. The inner surface of the sealing ring 12 is adapted to the outer conical surface of the rubber sealing bowl 9. The spring 10 is sleeved on the central vertical part of the rubber sealing bowl 9. The spring 10 is located between the lower edge part of the rubber sealing bowl 9 and the horizontal plate of the sealing ring 12. The spring 10 is used to drive the lower end of the rubber sealing bowl 9 to continuously seal with the sealing ridge 15.

[0031] Furthermore, a water outlet hole 7 is integrally formed on the outer surface of the drain valve body 1 , and the water outlet hole 7 is used for connecting to an external sewer pipe for drainage. A blocking hole 6 is integrally formed on the outer surface of the drain valve body 1 .

[0032] Furthermore, a sealing plugging cover is provided on the plugging hole 6, and the plugging hole 6 is used to be externally connected to other pipes to adapt to other functional elements. The outer surface of the drain valve body 1 is integrally formed with an overflow port 5, and an overflow valve is fixedly installed on the overflow port 5. The overflow valve is used to control the overflow of excess water.

[0033] Furthermore, one end opening of the water inlet bend pipe 13 is a water inlet, which is fixedly connected to the drainage pipe of the drum washing machine. An air chamber 8 is fixedly installed at the other end opening of the water inlet bend pipe 13. The air chamber 8 is used to exhaust gas to adjust the water level. The air outlet end of the air chamber 8 is inclined upward and a detector for detecting the exhaust airflow is arranged thereon.

[0034] Furthermore, a mounting bracket 14 is fixedly mounted on the drain valve body 1 , and the mounting bracket 14 is used to mount and fix the drain valve body 1 . The electric traction device 2 is fixedly connected with a same mounting bracket 14 .

[0035] Furthermore, when in use, the electric traction device 2 is started, and the electric winch in the electric traction device 2 will reel in the traction rope 3. The reeled traction rope 3 will drive the rubber sealing bowl 9 to move upward through the valve stem 4, so that the spring 10 on the rubber sealing bowl 9 can be compressed and deformed. The compressed and deformed spring 10 can drive the lower end of the rubber sealing bowl 9 to separate from the sealing convex edge 15, and at this time, the central part of the rubber sealing bowl 9 will fit with the inner wall of the sealing ring 12. At this time, the space between the drain valve body 1 and the water inlet elbow 13 is connected, and the drainage pipe at the water inlet of the water inlet elbow 13 will flow water through the water inlet elbow 13 and the inside of the drain valve body 1, and finally be discharged from the water outlet 7. The water level of the drainage can be adjusted and detected to a certain extent through the air chamber 8. After the water level reaches a certain level, the detector will send a signal to the electric traction device. The puller 2 sends a signal to start the electric traction device 2 in the reverse direction to unwind the traction rope 3. At this time, the valve stem 4 is free from the limiting force of the traction rope 3, and the rubber sealing bowl 9 will move downward under the elastic force of the spring 10, thereby disengaging from the sealing ring 12. The rubber sealing bowl 9 moving downward can fit closely with the sealing convex edge 15 to seal the space between the water inlet elbow 13 and the drain valve body 1. At this time, the water inlet elbow 13 is no longer draining water. Through the operation of the above structure, the drainage of the drum washing machine can accurately open and close the drainage channel, thereby achieving precise control of the drainage process, avoiding the problem that the traditional drainage method relies on a simple mechanical structure or manual operation and cannot achieve precise control of the drainage volume, and the entire drainage process is automatically completed by the electric traction device 2 without manual operation, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0036] Furthermore, after the rubber sealing bowl 9 and the sealing ridge 15 are adapted to seal, there will be some residual water in the drain valve body 1, and this residual water will flow out from the overflow port 5, which can effectively discharge the excess waste water in the drain valve body 1, avoiding the problem of corrosion of components caused by the residual waste water in the drain valve body 1 and reducing the service life, thereby improving the stability of the drainage device to a certain extent.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, the electric traction device 2 is started, and the electric winch in the electric traction device 2 will reel in the traction rope 3. The reeled traction rope 3 will drive the rubber sealing bowl 9 to move upward through the valve stem 4, so that the spring 10 on the rubber sealing bowl 9 can be compressed and deformed. The compressed and deformed spring 10 can drive the lower end of the rubber sealing bowl 9 to separate from the sealing convex edge 15, and at this time, the central part of the rubber sealing bowl 9 will fit with the inner wall of the sealing ring 12. At this time, the space between the drain valve body 1 and the water inlet elbow 13 is connected, and the drainage pipe at the water inlet of the water inlet elbow 13 will flow water through the water inlet elbow 13 and the drain valve The inside of the body 1 is finally discharged from the water outlet 7, and the air chamber 8 is provided so that the water level of the drainage can be adjusted and detected to a certain extent. After detecting that the water level has reached a certain level, the detector will send a signal to the electric traction device 2, so that the electric traction device 2 starts in reverse and unwinds the traction rope 3. At this time, the valve stem 4 is free from the limiting force of the traction rope 3, and the rubber sealing bowl 9 will move downward under the elastic force of the spring 10, thereby disengaging from the sealing ring 12. The rubber sealing bowl 9 moving downward can fit closely with the sealing convex edge 15 to seal the space between the water inlet elbow 13 and the drainage valve body 1. At this time, the water inlet elbow 13 is no longer draining.

[0038] Furthermore, since the rubber sealing bowl 9 and the sealing ridge 15 are adapted and sealed, there will be some residual water in the drain valve body 1, and this residual water will flow out from the overflow port 5, which can effectively discharge the excess waste water in the drain valve body 1.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
