Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of washing machines, and more particularly to a splash-proof structure of a semi-automatic double-tub washing machine. Background Art

[0002] As a device that automatically washes clothes, washing machines have become an essential household appliance in our daily lives. In a pulsator washing machine, the rotation of the pulsator drives the wash water in the washing tub, while the clothes are turned inside the tub. The friction between the clothes and the tub walls completes the cleaning process. During the washing process, the wash water in the tub may splash out.

[0003] A Chinese patent discloses an inner drum structure and a washing machine with patent number CN202011514891.4 for preventing water splashing during washing. The application installs a protective brush circumferentially on the inner side of the balance ring to block the washing water splashed when washing clothes, so that the water splashes cannot splash onto the disc seat and upper cover of the washing machine, thereby avoiding the splashed washing water from corroding the washing machine shell and improving the service life of the washing machine. However, there are still certain problems. The protective brush of the application is fixed in position after installation. When the user takes and puts clothes, the protective brush will rub the user's hands and arms, causing discomfort to the user and reducing the experience when using it. Therefore, we provide a semi-automatic double-barrel washing machine with a splash-proof structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a splash-proof structure for a semi-automatic twin-tub washing machine to solve the problems raised in the above background technology:

[0005] The protective brushes of some existing washing machine splash-proof structures are fixed in position after installation. When the user takes or puts clothes, the protective brushes will rub the user's hands and arms, causing discomfort to the user and reducing the user experience.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] The splash-proof structure of a semi-automatic double-barrel washing machine includes an inner barrel of the washing machine, a mounting plate fixedly installed on the top of the inner barrel of the washing machine, and a total of eight mounting plates, which are symmetrically distributed. A fixed shaft is rotatably connected between two adjacent mounting plates, and the outer sleeve of the fixed shaft is provided with a sleeve, which is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft, and the bottom of the sleeve is rotatably connected to a connecting plate, and the outer side of the connecting plate away from the sleeve is rotatably connected to a brush plate, and the outside of the brush plate is fixedly connected to a protective brush, which can prevent splashing water when lowered, and can block splashing washing water.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting plate is an L-shaped structure, and the connecting plate with the L-shaped structure enables the connecting plate to be connected to both the brush plate and the shaft sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting plate is an arc-shaped structure, and the eight mounting plates cooperate with the fixed shaft to form an annular structure as a whole.

[0010] Preferably, a chamfer is provided on the top of the mounting plate near the side of the protective brush, and the chamfer prevents the brush plate from interfering with the mounting plate and getting stuck when the brush plate flips upward.

[0011] Preferably, a mounting hole is provided inside the mounting plate, and the mounting hole is used to cooperate with screws to mount the entire structure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] Flip one of the brush plates upwards, and it will drive the corresponding fixed shaft to rotate through the connecting plate and the shaft sleeve. At this time, the fixed shaft will in turn use the shaft sleeve and the connecting plate to drive the brush plate on the other side to flip upwards synchronously. Finally, the protective brushes on all the brush plates are opened, and the opening of the washing machine drum is not blocked, which is convenient for users to take and put clothes. Finally, the reverse operation can be performed, and the protective brushes are used to protect the splashing washing water to achieve the purpose of splashing water.

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 4 The splash-proof structure of a semi-automatic double-barrel washing machine includes an inner barrel 1 of a washing machine. A mounting plate 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner barrel 1 of the washing machine. There are eight mounting plates 2 in total, and the eight mounting plates 2 are symmetrically distributed. A fixed shaft 3 is rotatably connected between two adjacent mounting plates 2. The outer sleeve of the fixed shaft 3 is provided with a sleeve 4, which is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 3. The bottom of the sleeve 4 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 5. The outer side of the connecting plate 5 is rotatably connected to a brush plate 6 away from the sleeve 4. The outside of the brush plate 6 is fixedly connected to a protective brush 7. The protective brush 7 after being lowered can play a role in splash-proofing. The protective brush 7 can block the splashing washing water.

[0021] Furthermore, the connecting plate 5 is an L-shaped structure, and the connecting plate 5 of the L-shaped structure enables it to be connected to both the brush plate 6 and the shaft sleeve 4 .

[0022] Furthermore, the mounting plate 2 is an arc-shaped structure, and the eight mounting plates 2 cooperate with the fixed shaft 3 to form an annular structure as a whole, which is compatible with the inner barrel 1 of the washing machine.

[0023] Furthermore, a chamfer 8 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 2 near the side of the protective brush 7. The setting of the chamfer 8 prevents the brush plate 6 from getting stuck with the mounting plate 2 when it is flipped upward, ensuring that the brush plate 6 can be flipped upward and opened normally, thereby making it convenient for users to take clothes.

[0024] Furthermore, mounting holes 9 are provided inside the mounting plate 2. Among the eight mounting plates 2, two mounting holes 9 are provided on every other mounting plate 2 for use with screws to fix the entire structure on the inner barrel 1 of the washing machine.

[0025] Usage steps of the present invention: When the splash-proof structure of the semi-automatic twin-barrel washing machine is in use, if the user needs to take or place clothes, one of the brush plates 6 is flipped upwards, and the brush plate 6 will drive the corresponding fixed shaft 3 to rotate through the connecting plate 5 and the shaft sleeve 4. At this time, the fixed shaft 3 in turn uses the shaft sleeve 4 and the connecting plate 5 to drive the brush plate 6 on the other side to flip upwards synchronously. Finally, all the brush plates 6 are flipped upwards, so that the protective brushes 7 are opened. At this time, the opening of the inner barrel 1 of the washing machine is not hindered, which is convenient for the user to take or place clothes. Finally, the operation is reversed and one of the brush plates 6 is flipped downwards. At this time, the outer side of the brush plate 6 will fit with the inner side of the mounting plate 2, thereby positioning the brush plate 6, and using the protective brush 7 on the brush plate 6 to protect the splashing washing water to achieve the purpose of splash-proofing.

[0026] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
