Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a water supply box for a fabric washing machine, belonging to the field of fabric washing machines. Background Art

[0002] The water supply tank is one of the main components of the fabric cleaning machine. The water supply tank is connected to the brush head through a corrugated hose. Since the corrugated hose is relatively long, it is often stored by wrapping the corrugated hose around the water supply tank. In order to facilitate limiting the position of the brush head, a semicircular sleeve for clamping on the brush head is installed on the water supply tank. Using screws to install the semicircular sleeve on the water supply tank is a common way to limit the position of the semicircular sleeve. The screws pass through the holes on the semicircular sleeve and are connected to the water supply tank to complete the assembly of the semicircular sleeve and the water supply tank. During the process of turning the screws, the part of the water supply tank that cooperates with the screws will slip due to excessive torque, resulting in the semicircular sleeve being unable to be installed normally, affecting the normal use of the water supply tank. Therefore, it is necessary to design a water supply tank for the fabric cleaning machine that can be replaced separately after the part that cooperates with the screws is damaged.

[0005] Furthermore, a frame is provided on the lower side of the semicircular sleeve, and limiting bars for limiting the position of the corrugated hose are installed at both ends of the frame. The frame is connected to the water supply box through a connecting piece.

[0006] Furthermore, the connecting part includes a buckle, and a plurality of buckles are evenly installed on the side of the frame facing the water supply box. The cross-section of the buckle is "V"-shaped, and the area of the water supply box covered by the frame is recessed to form a plurality of bayonet holes that cooperate with the buckle. The buckle is clamped in the bayonet hole, and a tooth is connected and fixed on one side of the buckle. A side surface of the bayonet hole is recessed to form a slot that cooperates with the tooth, and the tooth is inserted in the slot.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the buckle away from the frame is connected to and fixed with a limiting portion, and the limiting portion is in contact with the surface of the water supply box.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting strip and the frame are an integrally formed structure, and the frame is processed with an arc surface at a position close to the limiting strip.

[0009] Furthermore, the middle portion of the upper surface of the water supply box is depressed downward to form a groove, and a handle is installed in the groove, and the handle is a "U"-shaped structure.

[0010] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0011] 1. Insert the plug with a screw hole into the slot on the protrusion to realize the assembly of the plug and the water supply box. Make one end of the screw pass through the channel formed by the round hole and the perforation and then be threaded into the screw hole to complete the assembly of the semicircular sleeve and the water supply box. When the screw hole is damaged due to excessive torque, pull out the plug and replace it. After the part that cooperates with the screw is damaged, it can be replaced separately. At the same time, the protrusion and the plug work together to partially increase the thickness of the screw installation part of the water supply box, without increasing the wall thickness of the water supply box as a whole, thereby reducing the production cost of the water supply box.
