Detailed implementation manners

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Embodiment:

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , a washing machine filter capable of improving the lint collection effect, the structure of which includes a filter housing 1, a mounting buckle 2, a collection box 3 and a lint collection mechanism 4. A mounting buckle 2 that can be connected to the washing machine is installed on the top of the filter housing 1. A collection box 3 is rotatably fitted on the filter housing 1 through a rotating shaft, and a lint collection mechanism 4 that can collect lint in the washing machine is rotatably fitted on the collection box 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, the collection box 3 includes a positioning hole 31, a water inlet groove 32, a sliding groove 33 and a fixing hole 34. A positioning hole 31 is opened in the collection box 3. Water inlet grooves 32 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the collection box 3. A plurality of water inlet grooves 32 are arranged in an equidistant array. A sliding groove 33 is opened on the water inlet groove 32. The sliding groove 33 communicates with the water inlet groove 32. A fixing hole 34 is provided at the top of the sliding groove 33, and an arc chamfer is opened at the opening of the fixing hole 34.

[0031] In this embodiment, opening groups 101 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the filter housing 1. The opening groups 101 are the same as and correspond in position to the water inlet grooves 32, sliding grooves 33 and fixing holes 34 on both sides of the collection box 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lint collection mechanism 4 includes mounting plates 41, spiral columns 42 and sliding members 43. Two mounting plates 41 are symmetrically arranged. A spiral column 42 capable of winding and collecting lint is installed between the two mounting plates 41. A sliding member 43 is slidably engaged on the top mounting plate 41.

[0033] In this embodiment, outer embedded grooves 11 and inner embedded grooves 12 are annularly arranged on both the inner and outer sides of the spiral column 42. The outer embedded grooves 11 and the inner embedded grooves 12 can cooperate with the spiral column 42. When the water flow of the washing machine passes through the spiral column 42, the lint can be embedded and wound for collection through the outer embedded grooves 11 and the inner embedded grooves 12, increasing the collection effect of the lint.

[0034] In this embodiment, the sliding member 43 includes a connecting column 21, a limiting plate 22, a circular ring 23 and a scraping plate 24. A limiting plate 22 is fixed at one end of the connecting column 21. The other end of the connecting column 21 is connected with a circular ring 23. The circular ring 23 is in clearance fit with the spiral column 42. A plurality of scraping plates 24 are arranged at the bottom of the circular ring 23. The scraping plates 24 are made of soft plastic and are in contact with the spiral column 42.

[0035] In this embodiment, the connecting column 21 can be movably clamped with the fixing hole 34, and the diameter of the connecting column 21 is the same as the width of the sliding groove 33. When it is necessary to clean the lint wound on the spiral column 42, the connecting column 21 is taken out from the fixing hole 34 and reciprocally slid in the sliding groove 33. The lint on the spiral column 42 can be scraped off by means of the contact between the scraping plate 24 and the spiral column 42.

[0036] Working principle: When the washing machine is washing clothes, the water flow in the washing machine will flow into the interior of the collection box 3 through the filter housing 1 and the opening groups 101 and water inlet grooves 32 on both sides along with the rotation of the agitator. By means of the water flow impact force when the water flow enters the filter, the two groups of spiral columns 42 located in the collection box 3 will be impacted, thereby driving the spiral columns 42 to rotate in the collection box 3. By means of the spiral structure of the spiral columns 42, the lint and hair carried in the water flow can be wound and collected. The outer embedded grooves 11 and the inner embedded grooves 12 formed on the inner and outer sides of the spiral columns 42 can increase the winding and collection effect of the spiral columns 42 on the lint, thereby effectively collecting the lint;

[0037] Then, when the lint collected in the washing machine filter needs to be cleaned, by removing the sliding member 43 from the fixing hole 34 and reciprocally sliding it within the sliding groove 33, it is possible to scrape off the lint wound around the spiral column 42 by means of the contact between the scraping plate 24 on the circular ring 23 and the spiral column 42, and then it is convenient to collect and clean the lint.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
