Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of micro-bubbles in household cleaning equipment, and particularly relates to an integrated washing machine elbow with a micro-bubble generating structure. Background Art

[0002] Microbubbles refer to bubbles whose diameters range from tens of micrometers to hundreds of nanometers when they occur. These bubbles are between micron bubbles and nanobubbles, and have physical and chemical properties that conventional bubbles do not have. They can be used in household cleaning scenarios including laundry and dishwashing.

[0003] However, when installing the micro-bubble generator on household cleaning equipment such as a washing machine, it is necessary to combine the micro-bubble generator with the washing machine water supply hose, which increases the overall length of the washing machine water supply hose. When assembled to the washing machine, sufficient space needs to be reserved between the washing machine water supply hose and the washing machine. In addition, when the washing machine is moved, the hose joint may break due to the lengthened lever. Therefore, a washing machine elbow that can generate micro-bubbles and is easy to install is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides an integrated washing machine elbow with a micro-bubble generating structure to solve the problem that the combined connection of the micro-bubble generator and the washing machine water supply hose in the existing technology occupies a large space and is prone to breakage at the hose joint.

[0005] One solution of the present invention provides an integrated washing machine elbow with a micro-bubble generating structure, comprising an elbow body, a water inlet connection portion, and a water outlet connection portion;

[0006] The elbow body comprises a connected curved pipe section and a straight pipe section, the end of the curved pipe section is provided with a water inlet, and the end of the straight pipe section is provided with a water outlet;

[0010] The elbow body, the water inlet connection portion, the water outlet connection portion, the first micro-bubble generating plate and the second micro-bubble generating plate are integrally formed.

[0011] In one embodiment, the central axis of the bubble generating hole provided on the first micro-bubble generating plate is arranged to be inclined with respect to the central axis of the first micro-bubble generating plate;

[0012] The central axis of the bubble generating hole provided in the second micro-bubble generating plate is provided to be inclined with respect to the central axis of the second micro-bubble generating plate.

[0013] In one embodiment, the bubble generating holes provided on the first micro-bubble generating plate are tapered holes whose diameters gradually decrease along the water flow direction.

[0014] In one embodiment, the number of bubble generating holes on the first micro-bubble generating plate and the second micro-bubble generating plate is at least three.

[0015] In one of the solutions, a clamping structure is further provided on the outer side surface of the water outlet connection portion, and the clamping structure is used to clamp and fix the water supply hose of the washing machine.

[0016] In one of the solutions, the clamping structure includes a first clamping groove and a second clamping groove, and the second clamping groove is arranged on a side away from the water outlet.

[0017] In one of the solutions, the water outlet connection portion is further provided with a guiding slope, and the guiding slope is provided on both side walls of the first clamping groove for guiding the clamping connection with the water outlet connection portion.

[0021] The integrated washing machine elbow with a micro-bubble generating structure provided by the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0022] 1. The utility model fixes and connects the elbow body, the water inlet connection part, the water outlet connection part, the first micro-bubble generating plate and the second micro-bubble generating plate in an integrally formed manner, thereby realizing the integration of the micro-bubble generating structure and the washing machine elbow.
