Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of washing machines, in particular to a detergent box water outlet detection tool for a washing machine. Background Art

[0002] Washing machines are very common household appliances. The detergent box in a washing machine is an important component. The structure of the detergent box of a washing machine is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a rib plate is provided at the water outlet, and the distance between the rib plate and the water outlet is very small. When the water outlet is blocked, it is difficult for the operator to find it with the naked eye, resulting in water blockage problems after the product is delivered to the customer. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a detergent box water outlet detection tool for a washing machine, which can quickly detect whether the water outlet is blocked and ensure the quality of the factory products.

[0004] The technical solution is as follows: a detergent box water outlet detection tool for a washing machine, characterized in that it includes a base, a positioning groove is provided on the base, a positioning column is provided in the positioning groove, a guide seat is provided next to the positioning groove, a detection seat is slidably provided on the guide seat, a sliding detection rod is provided through the detection seat, a spring is mounted on the sliding detection rod, a micro switch is provided on one side of the detection seat to cooperate with the sliding detection rod, the micro switch is electrically connected to an alarm, and the detection seat is connected to a driving cylinder fixed to the base.

[0005] It is further characterized in that a transverse through hole is opened on the detection seat, a retaining ring is provided in the middle position of the sliding detection rod, a limiting ring is fixed to the end of the sliding detection rod away from the positioning groove, and the spring is located between the retaining ring and the detection seat.

[0006] After adopting the utility model, after the detergent box is placed in the positioning groove and positioned, the cylinder is driven to drive the detection seat close to the detergent box, and the sliding detection rod is inserted into the water outlet. If it can be smoothly inserted to the bottom, there is no blockage. If the water outlet is blocked by burrs, the sliding detection rod will be blocked and will retreat and contact the micro switch, triggering the alarm to sound, thereby realizing rapid detection of whether the water outlet is blocked and ensuring the quality of the products leaving the factory.

[0010] Figure 4 Indicates the detergent box detection status Figure 1 ;

[0011] Figure 5 Indicates the detergent box detection status Figure 2 . DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] See Figures 2 to 5 As shown, a detergent box water outlet detection tool for a washing machine includes a base 1, a positioning groove 2 is opened on the base 1, four positioning columns 3 are arranged in the positioning groove 2, a guide seat 4 is arranged next to the positioning groove 2, a detection seat 5 is slidably arranged on the guide seat 4, a sliding detection rod 6 is penetrated by the detection seat 5, a spring 7 is mounted on the sliding detection rod 6, a micro switch 8 cooperating with the sliding detection rod 6 is provided on one side of the detection seat 5, the micro switch 8 is electrically connected to an alarm 9, and the alarm 9 adopts the common form of a buzzer and an indicator light. When the micro switch is touched, the buzzer and the indicator light are triggered, which is a common alarm method on the market and can be directly purchased from outside. The detection seat 5 is connected to a driving cylinder 10 fixed to the base 1.

[0013] A transverse through hole is provided on the detection seat 5 , a retaining ring 11 is provided in the middle position of the sliding detection rod 6 , a limiting ring 12 is fixed to the end of the sliding detection rod 6 away from the positioning groove 2 , and the spring 7 is located between the retaining ring 11 and the detection seat 5 .

[0014] The working principle is as follows: in the initial state, under the action of the spring, the limit ring 12 on the sliding detection rod 6 presses against the outside of the detection seat 5 away from the positioning groove 2; the detergent box 13 to be detected is placed in the positioning groove 2 and cooperates with the positioning column 3 to achieve positioning, and then the cylinder 10 is driven to drive the detection seat 5 close to the detergent box 13, so that the sliding detection rod 6 is inserted into the water outlet of the detergent box 13. If there is no blockage in the water outlet, the sliding detection rod 6 will not rebound and can be smoothly inserted to the bottom and contact the internal rib plate; if there is burrs in the water outlet causing blockage, the sliding detection rod 6 encounters an obstacle and cannot continue to move forward. As the detection seat 5 continues to move forward, the sliding detection rod 6 will rebound, extend from one end of the principle positioning groove 2, and contact the micro switch, triggering an alarm. At this time, the operator can quickly understand the blockage situation.
