Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water washing machine related equipment, in particular to a self-balancing water washing machine liner. Background Art

[0002] Washing machines are a common piece of equipment used in textile manufacturing, placing high demands on their balance. Uneven stacking of textiles in the inner drum can cause them to cling to the inner wall of the drum during high-speed rotation. Due to the different densities of water and textiles (when the density of the textile is less than that of water), lighter textiles in the drum will float, while heavier ones will accumulate at the bottom. The unbalanced centrifugal force generated by the uneven weight distribution of textiles can produce vibrations, causing the inner drum to lose its balance during rotation, resulting in significant shaking. In severe cases, this can lead to eccentric wear in the washing machine, while the vibrations also increase its energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a self-balancing water washing machine liner with good self-balancing effect and the ability to cope with different weight imbalances.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is: a self-balancing water washing machine liner, characterized in that it includes:

[0005] A barrel body, wherein a plurality of mutually separated balancing chambers are formed in the barrel body along the circumferential direction, the barrel body includes an upper barrel inner wall and a lower barrel inner wall, and the upper barrel inner wall and the lower barrel inner wall are both provided with a plurality of one-way flow structures, the one-way flow structures being in communication with the balancing chambers, the water outflow rate of the one-way flow structures on the upper barrel inner wall being smaller than the water inflow rate, and the water outflow rate of the one-way flow structures on the lower barrel inner wall being larger than the water inflow rate;

[0006] A circulation device is provided, wherein the circulation device pumps the liquid at the bottom of the balancing chamber to the top of the balancing chamber through the outside of the balancing chamber.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when lightweight textiles are accumulated in the upper part of the barrel, the difference in water flow rate between the accumulation side and the opposite side causes disturbance of the liquid in the barrel. Under the continuous action of the circulation pump, the lightweight textiles are prompted to move toward the axis and redistribute; when high-density textiles are accumulated at the bottom of the barrel and one side is heavier, the water outlet on the heavier side is blocked, resulting in a large water flow on the opposite side. The liquid accumulates in the balancing chamber on the opposite side. Under the continuous action of the circulation pump, the weight on both sides gradually balances. Therefore, this device has a good self-balancing effect and can easily cope with different weight imbalances of the barrel body.

[0008] Furthermore, the one-way flow structure includes a water outlet hole opened on the inner wall of the barrel body and a water retaining valve arranged on the water outlet hole. The water retaining valve is crescent-shaped. The water retaining valve on the inner wall of the upper half of the barrel body opens toward the axis of the barrel body, and the water retaining valve on the inner wall of the lower half of the barrel body opens toward the outer wall of the barrel body.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the crescent-shaped water-retaining valve can retain a part of the water, forming a state in which water is easy to flow out but difficult to flow in inside the lower half of the barrel body, while forming a state in which water is easy to flow in but difficult to flow out inside the lower half of the barrel body.

[0010] Furthermore, the circulation device includes a guide tube coaxially fixedly installed with the barrel body, a circulation pump is arranged in the guide tube, a liquid outlet connected to the balancing chamber is arranged on the top of the guide tube, and a plurality of liquid inlets are opened on the part of the guide tube immersed in the balancing chamber. One end of the circulation pump is connected to the liquid inlet through the guide tube, and the other end of the circulation pump is connected to the liquid outlet through the guide tube.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the circulation of liquid from the balancing chamber to the barrel body is achieved, the process of rebalancing the unidirectional flow structure is repeated, and the rebalancing of the barrel body is accelerated.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a cover plate, in which a drainage channel is provided. The cover plate is a circular plate and has a drainage hole. The liquid outlet is connected to the balance chamber through the drainage channel.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the upward movement of textiles can be restricted, and at the same time, lighter textiles, such as down jackets, can be prevented from being thrown out of the barrel during washing or dehydration, causing friction and wear of the textiles and eliminating safety hazards.

[0014] Furthermore, a limiting ring is fixedly installed on the top of the barrel body, and the cover plate is clamped with the limiting ring.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the lightweight textile is pressed into the water. When the water level rises and the textile rises to lift the cover plate, the limit ring restricts its further upward movement, and the textile is pressed below the liquid surface and is fully soaked.

[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of spray holes are provided at the bottom of the drainage channel.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the textile is pressed under the liquid surface and the textile is caused to be rearranged in the water.

[0018] Furthermore, the portion of the guide tube immersed in the barrel body cavity and each balancing cavity are connected to the corresponding liquid inlet, and the liquid inlets opened in the portion of the guide tube immersed in the balancing cavity correspond to and are connected to each balancing cavity one by one.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the suction port of the circulation pump draws in an equal amount of liquid from each balancing chamber, realizing the circulation of the liquid from the balancing chamber to the barrel body, repeating the process of rebalancing the unidirectional flow structure, and accelerating the rebalancing of the barrel body.

[0020] Furthermore, a plurality of liquid inlets are provided at the bottom of the inner portion of the guide tube.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, a liquid flow path is formed, so that the textiles are moved from the edge of the washing tub to the center of the tub, effectively redistributing the textiles and reducing the vibration of the washing machine during washing or dehydration.

[0022] The beneficial technical effects of the utility model are:

[0023] 1. When lightweight textiles accumulate in the upper part of the barrel, the difference in water flow rate between the accumulation side and the opposite side causes disturbance in the liquid in the barrel, and the lightweight textiles move toward the axis and redistribute. The cover plate and the spray hole jointly press the textiles below the liquid surface, causing the textiles to be rearranged in the water. The side where the textiles are accumulated is lighter, and the water inlet channel is blocked. The liquid accumulates in the balance chamber. Under the continuous action of the circulation pump, the weight on both sides gradually balances.

[0024] 2. When high-density textiles are accumulated at the bottom of the barrel and one side is heavier, the water outlet on the heavier side is blocked, resulting in a large water flow on the opposite side. The liquid accumulates in the balancing chamber on the opposite side. Under the continuous action of the circulating pump, the weight on both sides is gradually balanced, so that the device has a good self-balancing effect and can easily cope with different weight imbalances of the barrel body 1.

[0030] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention and implement it according to the contents of the specification, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a self-balancing water washing machine liner includes a barrel body 1. The side wall of the barrel body 1 is provided with a plurality of balancing chambers 2 symmetrically arranged along the axis of the barrel body 1. The balancing chambers 2 are not connected to each other. The inner wall of the barrel body 1 is composed of an upper barrel body inner wall 3 and a lower barrel body inner wall 4. The upper barrel body inner wall 3 and the lower barrel body inner wall 4 are both provided with a plurality of water outlet holes 5. The water outlet holes 5 are connected with the balancing chamber 2 and the inner cavity of the barrel body 1. A water retaining valve 6 is provided on the water outlet hole 5. The water retaining valve 6 is crescent-shaped. The opening of the water retaining valve 6 of the upper barrel body inner wall 3 faces the axis of the barrel body 1, and the water retaining valve of the lower barrel body inner wall faces the outer wall of the barrel body 1. The water retaining valve 6 and the inner wall of the barrel body 1 are connected by welding or the water retaining valve 6 and the inner wall of the barrel body 1 are integrally formed.

[0032] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a limit ring 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the barrel body 1, and a plurality of slots 12 are opened on the bottom surface of the limit ring 11. Each slot 12 corresponds to each balance cavity 2 one by one, and the slots 12 are connected to the balance cavity 2.

[0033] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the cover plate 7 is circular, and its diameter is equal to the inner diameter of the barrel body 1. A number of drain holes 8 are provided on the cover plate 7 along the axial direction. A number of drainage channels 9 are distributed in a circumferential array inside the cover plate 7. A number of slots 10 are distributed in a circumferential array on the top of the cover plate 7. The slots 10 correspond to each drainage channel 9 one by one, and the slots 10 are engaged with the card slots 12. The cover plate 7 is inserted into the card slots 12 in the limiting ring 11 at the top of the barrel body 1 through the slots 10 and is fixed at the barrel mouth position of the barrel body 1. The drainage channel 9 is connected with the card slot 12 and the inner cavity 2 through the slots 10, and a number of spray holes 17 are provided at the bottom of the drainage channel 9.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, a guide pipe 13 coaxial with the barrel body 1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the barrel body 1, and the liquid outlet 16 at the top of the guide pipe 13 is connected to the drainage channel 9. The part of the guide pipe 13 immersed in the inner cavity of the barrel body 1 and the bottom of the part located in the barrel body 1 are provided with a plurality of liquid inlets 15. Each balancing chamber 2 is connected to the corresponding liquid inlet 15. A circulation pump 14 is provided in the guide pipe 13, and one end of the circulation pump 14 is connected to the liquid inlet 15 through the guide pipe 13, and the other end of the circulation pump 14 is connected to the liquid outlet 16 through the guide pipe 13, which is used to pump the liquid in the balancing chamber 2 from the bottom of the balancing chamber 2 and the circulating liquid inlet 15 to the circulating liquid outlet 16. The liquid outlet 16 is connected to the channel 9, and the water flows into the balancing chamber 2 from the top through the liquid outlet 16, the channel 9, and the slot 10 in sequence, and part of the water flows out from the spray hole 17.

[0035] When the washing machine is working, after the textiles are put in, the cover plate 7 is bent and deformed and inserted into the barrel body 1, and the position is limited by the slot 10 on the top of the cover plate 7 and the slot 12 at the bottom of the barrel mouth limiting ring 11. The textile processing equipment is restricted from continuing to move upward by the cover plate 7 and the limiting ring 11 of the barrel mouth structure 6. The cover plate 1 begins to exert downward pressure on the textile. When the water level continues to rise, the textile is pressed below the liquid surface and is fully soaked. During the washing process, the textiles in the barrel body 1 float up and down. When they float below the cover plate 7, the cover plate 7 presses the textiles into the washing water. The water sprayed from the spray hole 17 presses the textiles below the liquid surface and causes the textiles to rearrange in the water.

[0036] Due to the buoyancy of water acting on textiles, when the density of the textile is less than the density of water, the light textiles in the washing machine will float on the water.

[0037] When the barrel body 1 rotates at high speed to wash textiles, and light textiles are concentrated on one side of the upper half of the barrel body 1, the other side of the barrel body 1 is heavier and the barrel body 1 is unbalanced. Since the crescent-shaped water-retaining valve 6 can retain a portion of water, the water flows through the water outlet 5 on the inner wall 3 of the upper barrel body. When the water flows into the barrel body 1 from the balance chamber 2, the water inflow rate is large, and when the water flows into the balance chamber 2 from the inner body 1, the water inflow rate is small, forming a state in the upper half of the barrel body 1 where water is easy to enter but difficult to exit. Since the light textiles block part of the water outlet 5 on the inner wall 3 of the upper barrel body, the water outflow rate on the side where the light textiles are concentrated is further reduced, and the water inflow rate is much greater than the water outflow rate. The water flow entering the side where the light textiles are concentrated increases the water volume and mass on that side. At the same time, the light textiles move toward the axis under the impact of the water flow, causing the textiles to be rearranged, thus avoiding the accumulation of textiles on one side of the barrel body 1.

[0038] When high-density textiles are accumulated on one side of the lower part of the barrel body 1, that side is heavier, and the barrel body 1 is unbalanced. When water flows through the water outlet hole 5 on the inner wall 4 of the lower half of the barrel body, the water inlet is small when it flows from the balancing chamber 2 into the barrel body 1, and the water inlet is large when it flows from the inside of the barrel body 1 into the balancing chamber 2. The crescent-shaped water retaining valve 6 can retain a part of the water, forming a state in which water is easy to flow out but difficult to flow in inside the lower half of the barrel body 1. Since the textiles block part of the water outlet holes 5 on the inner wall 4 of the lower half of the barrel body, the water outflow on the side where the high-density textiles are concentrated is reduced, the water inflow is also small, and the water flow disturbance is small. On the other side, a larger flow of liquid flows from the barrel body 1 into the balancing chamber 2, forming a flow path, driving the textile to move toward the axis, and sucking in liquid through the liquid inlet 15 of the circulation pump 14. The textiles are also subjected to the force of moving toward the axis of the barrel body 1, causing the textiles to be rearranged in the barrel.

[0039] The liquid is continuously discharged from the lighter side of the barrel body 1, and the water volume in the balance chamber 2 on the lighter side increases, and the mass increases, which can effectively prevent some overweight textiles from rotating and deflecting to one side of the barrel body 1, so that the textiles are distributed as evenly as possible in the barrel body 1, so as to maintain the balance performance of the barrel body 1 when it rotates at high speed.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
