Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of washing machines, and particularly relates to a water inlet box with uniform water flow inlet. Background Art

[0002] Generally, a water inlet box for adding detergents, softeners or fabric conditioners is provided on existing washing machines. Usually, detergents required for washing clothes are added into the inner cavity of the water inlet box before water inlet. When water enters, after the water flow enters the inner cavity of the water inlet box, it dissolves and carries the detergent into the washing tub together, so as to achieve the purpose of washing clothes.

[0003] However, the current water inlet box is provided with a water inlet on the side wall and has an outlet end formed in the downstream direction of the water flow. After the water flow enters the water inlet box through the water inlet, it directly enters the washing tub through the outlet end. During the use of the above water inlet box, due to the lack of optimization of the water flow distribution, problems such as unstable water flow speed, water flow deviation to one side or uneven water outlet will occur. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a water inlet box with uniform water flow inlet, aiming to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the above prior art. To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0005] A water inlet box with uniform water flow inlet includes a box body. An inlet is provided on one side of the box body and is communicated with the water cavity in the box body. A partition is arranged in the water cavity in the box body. The partition divides the water cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. There is a gap between the side of the partition close to the inlet and the inner wall of the box body. One end of the upper chamber far from the inlet is hermetically covered with an end cover. A flow splitting component is arranged at the bottom of the lower chamber, and the flow splitting component evenly splits the water in the lower chamber.

[0006] As a further scheme of the utility model: the flow splitting component includes a plurality of flow splitting plates, and the plurality of flow splitting plates are evenly spaced on the bottom of the lower chamber, and the flow splitting plates are perpendicular to the side wall where the inlet is located.

[0007] As a further scheme of the utility model: three flow splitting plates are evenly spaced on the bottom of the lower chamber.

[0008] As a further scheme of the utility model: a buckle is arranged at the edge of the upper chamber, a bayonet adapted to the buckle is opened on the surface of the end cover, and the end cover is detachably hermetically covered at the end of the upper chamber through the cooperation of the bayonet and the buckle.

[0009] As a further solution of the present utility model: a positioning block is further provided at the edge of the upper chamber. When the end cover is hermetically covered on the end of the upper chamber, the end cover is lapped on the positioning block.

[0010] As a further solution of the present utility model: a plurality of side ears are uniformly arranged on the outer periphery of the box body, and the box body is fixedly installed on the face frame of the washing machine through the plurality of side ears.

[0011] The present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] In the present utility model, a partition plate is arranged in the water chamber of the box body. The partition plate divides the water chamber into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. There is a gap between the side of the partition plate close to the water inlet and the inner wall of the box body. The upper chamber is blocked by the box cover to block the water flow, and the lower chamber serves as the water outlet. When the water flow at the water inlet is rapid, the water flow will first rush into the upper chamber due to inertia and pressure. The space of the upper chamber is relatively large, which can buffer the water flow, and will flow back due to the effect of the box cover. After flowing back, it will flow into the lower chamber through the gap between the partition plate and the inner wall of the box body. In this way, it will not cause the water inlet to be extremely unstable due to the rapid water flow, and the water flow will go everywhere, reducing the user experience. The characteristics of the present utility model are simple structure, which can adapt to the water inlet of different water flows. Whether it is slow water flow or rapid water flow, the uniform water inlet of the water flow can be realized through the functions of buffering, shunting, and confluence of the water inlet box, improving the user experience.

Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0021] In addition, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "connection", etc. 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, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present utility model is a water inlet box with uniform water flow inlet, which is detachably and fixedly installed on the front frame of the washing machine. The water inlet box includes a box body 1, and a water inlet 2 communicating with the water cavity in the box body 1 is integrally provided on one side of the box body 1. Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, a partition 3 is arranged in the water cavity of the box body 1. The partition 3 divides the water cavity into an upper chamber 4 and a lower chamber 5. There is a gap between the side of the partition 3 close to the water inlet 2 and the inner wall of the box body 1, so that the water from the water inlet 2 and the upper chamber 4 can flow into the lower chamber 5 through the gap. Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, a end cover 6 is hermetically covered at one end of the upper chamber 4 away from the water inlet 2. The end cover 6 ensures that the water entering the upper chamber 4 can only flow into the lower chamber 5 through the gap. A flow splitting component is arranged at the bottom of the lower chamber 5, and the flow splitting component evenly splits the water in the lower chamber 5.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the flow splitting component includes three flow splitting plates 7. The three flow splitting plates 7 are evenly spaced on the bottom of the lower chamber 5, and the flow splitting plates 7 are perpendicular to the side wall where the water inlet 2 is located. The three flow splitting plates 7 divide the bottom of the lower chamber 5 into four flow channels.

[0024] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 3As shown, the upper chamber 4 is provided with buckles 8 at least at its left and right edges. Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, a bayonet 9 adapted to the buckle 8 is provided on the surface of the end cap 6. The end cap 6 is detachably sealed and covered at the end of the upper chamber 4 through the cooperation of the bayonet 9 and the buckle 8.

[0025] Furthermore, a positioning block 10 is provided at the edge of the upper chamber 4. When the end cap 6 is sealed and covered at the end of the upper chamber 4, the end cap 6 is lapped on the positioning block 10, and the lid will not shift into the upper chamber 4 under the action of the positioning block 10.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, four side ears 11 are evenly arranged on the outer periphery of the box body 1. The box body 1 is fixedly installed on the face frame of the washing machine through the four side ears 11, which is convenient for the loading and unloading of the entire water inlet box.

[0027] When the present utility model is in use:

[0028] First, the end cap 6 is sealed and covered at the end of the upper chamber 4 through the cooperation of the bayonet 9 and the buckle 8, and then it is positioned on the face frame through the four side ears 11 around the water inlet box, and the installation is completed. The water inlet box has a simple structure and is easy to install.

[0029] The water inlet is divided into two cases. When the water flows in slowly, the water can directly flow into the lower chamber 5 through the gap between the partition 3 and the inner wall of the box body 1, and the water does not enter the upper chamber 4. After the water flows into the lower chamber 5, the water is divided into four streams by the three flow dividing plates 7, and the four streams of water flow along the flow dividing plates 7 to the water outlet (not shown in the figure). When approaching the water outlet, the four streams of water converge, so that the water flowing out of the water outlet will be relatively uniform. When the water flows in turbulently, the water will first rush into the upper chamber 4 due to inertia and pressure. The space of the upper chamber 4 is relatively large, which can buffer the water flow, and will flow back due to the action of the lid, and then flow into the lower chamber 5 through the gap between the partition 3 and the inner wall of the box body 1. In this way, the uneven water inlet caused by the size of the water flow can be avoided. The upper chamber 4 plays a role in buffering the turbulent water flow, enabling the water inlet box to meet the water inlet of water flows with different velocities, and making the turbulent water flow uniform when entering the inner barrel, improving the user experience.

[0030] The above has described the preferred embodiments of the present utility model in detail, and it cannot be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made according to the scope of the application of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present utility model.
