[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0027] The present invention provides a spray assembly and a washing machine that can improve the cleaning ratio. Detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the first structure of the spray assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0029] The spray assembly 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a spray cover 11 and a spray base 12. The spray cover 11 and the spray base 12 can be fixed to each other by welding, gluing or snapping. The spray assembly 10 has the effect of dispersing water flow and improving spray uniformity.
[0030] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 for Figure 1 Explosion diagram.
[0031] The shower cover 11 includes a first fixing member 111 and a water receiving member 112 . The water receiving member 112 is disposed on the first fixing member 111 and has a water inlet channel 1121 .
[0032] The shower seat 12 includes a second fixing member 121 and at least one diverter member 122 . The diverter member 122 is connected to the second fixing member 121 . The second fixing member 121 is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes 1211 .
[0033] The first fixing member 111 and the second fixing member 121 together form an accommodating chamber 13 . The diverter 122 is disposed in the accommodating chamber 13 . The water inlet channel 1121 and the water outlet hole 1211 are both in communication with the accommodating chamber 13 .
[0034] The spraying process of the spray assembly 10 in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: water flows from the water inlet channel 1121 of the water receiving member 112 into the accommodating chamber 13. Under the action of its own gravity, the water flows towards the apex of the diverter 122. After passing the apex of the diverter 122, the water changes direction and flow rate and disperses, then flows out through the multiple water outlets 1211, finally forming a uniform spray of water. The uniform spray of water can rinse the door body, door seal 30, and clothes inside the washing machine, allowing the detergent to be fully dissolved, reducing residual foam, and improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0035] The diverter 122 may be a ribbed column, one end of which is connected to the second fixing member 121 and the other end of which faces the spray cover 11. By providing the ribbed column on the second fixing member 121, the surface of the spray base 12 facing the water inlet channel 1121 has an uneven structure, thereby enhancing the impact effect on the water flow and facilitating uniform water discharge from the spray assembly 10.
[0036] In addition, if the water in the water inlet channel 1121 contains detergent that has not been completely dissolved, the detergent and the water can be fully mixed and dissolved under the impact of the diverter 122 .
[0037] Optionally, the surface of the diverter 122 facing the water inlet channel 1121 may be a conical surface. After passing through the apex of the conical surface of the diverter 122, the water flows in a sheet shape and disperses in multiple directions, and finally passes through the water outlet 1211 to become a uniformly distributed water flow.
[0038] There are multiple diverter members 122, which are arranged in an array along the length of the second fixing member 121. Due to the dense and array-distributed diverter members 122, the water flowing from the water inlet channel 1121 into the accommodating chamber 13 can be continuously impacted and dispersed, thereby improving the dissolution effect of the detergent and the uniform distribution of the water flow.
[0039] The water outlet 1211 can be disposed around each diverter 122 , or on both sides of multiple diverters 122 .
[0040] See also Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the second structure of the spray assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the showerhead provided in an embodiment of the present application. For example, the water outlet holes 1211 are disposed on both sides of the plurality of diverter members 122. The water outlet holes 1211 include a first water outlet hole 1211a and a second water outlet hole 1211b. The plurality of first water outlet holes 1211a and second water outlet holes 1211b are disposed on both sides of the plurality of diverter members 122.
[0041] Please continue reading Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 Taking the case where there are multiple first water outlet holes 1211a as an example, the multiple first water outlet holes 1211a are arranged in an array along the length direction of the second fixing member 121. The arrangement of the multiple first water outlet holes 1211a is conducive to uniform and rapid water flow.
[0042] The number of the second water outlet hole 1211b can be one or more. For example, the number of the second water outlet hole 1211b is one. Figure 4 The second water outlet hole 1211b extends along the length direction of the second fixing member 121. The second water outlet hole 1211b can be a waist-shaped hole or a square hole. The hole wall of the second water outlet hole 1211b can be an inclined surface to facilitate water outflow.
[0043] In some cases, when the cross-sectional area of the second water outlet 1211b is larger than that of the first water outlet 1211a and the water flow rate is the same, the flow rate of the water flowing out of the second water outlet 1211b is smaller than that of the water flowing out of the first water outlet 1211a.
[0044] As mentioned above, the specific number of the first water outlet holes 1211a and the second water outlet holes 1211b can be specifically set according to actual conditions to ensure that the water flows out evenly and in a timely manner.
[0045] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a washing machine provided in an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment of the present application also provides a washing machine 100, which includes a housing, a washing tub 20, a door seal 30, a door, and a spray assembly 10.

[0048] The washing machine 100 also includes a circulation pump 40, a first water pipe 50 and a second water pipe 60. The circulation pump 40 has a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to the washing tub 20 through the first water pipe 50, and the second end is connected to the water receiving member 112 through the second water pipe 60, so that the second water pipe 60 is connected to the water inlet channel 1121.
[0049] It is understood that after the washing machine 100 starts a wash cycle, the user can add laundry liquid or laundry powder through the clothing access port. However, during the mixing process of the detergent and water, some detergent may not be fully mixed due to factors such as water quality, tumbling, and clothing entrapment. In the embodiment of the present application, water is drawn from the washing tub 20 by a circulation pump 40 and fed into the spray assembly 10 through the first water pipe 50. The flow of water is impacted by the diverter 122 inside the spray assembly 10, which can fully mix the detergent and water and improve the cleaning efficiency.
[0050] After the washing machine 100 starts the rinsing program, the water in the washing tub 20 is sent to the spray assembly 10 by the circulation pump 40. The spray assembly 10 flushes the door body or the door seal 30 with water to prevent foam and stains from remaining on the door body and the door seal 30, thereby preventing secondary contamination when the washing machine 100 rinses clothes again.
