[0028] The outer barrel cover 3 is mounted on the upper end of the outer barrel body 1 of the washing machine, and the anti-clothes-spinning component 2 is arranged on the side of the upper end of the outer barrel cover 3 close to the barrel;

[0029] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The anti-clothing-swinging component 2 includes a fixing portion 21 and a blocking portion 23 extending into the barrel. The fixing portion 21 is installed at the upper end of the outer barrel cover 3, and the blocking portion 23 is arranged on a side of the fixing portion 21 close to the barrel.

[0030] Obviously, based on the above, this embodiment can realize that when the washing machine is fully loaded for washing, the inner drum of the washing machine rotates at high speed, driving the clothes in the inner drum to rotate at high speed. In the absence of obstruction, the clothes may be thrown out from the outer drum cover under the action of centrifugal force. In this embodiment, under the action of the blocking part 23, the clothes are blocked back into the drum to prevent the clothes from being thrown out from the outer drum cover.

[0031] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The outer barrel cover 3 may include a cover body 31 and a convex ring 32, wherein the convex ring 32 is arranged on the upper end of the cover body 31 close to the barrel;

[0032] The anti-clothing-swinging component 2 can also include a clamping portion 22, a clamping groove 27 is opened in the middle of the clamping portion 22, the clamping groove 27 is fixed to the convex ring 32, the groove wall of the clamping groove 27 away from the side of the barrel is connected to the fixing portion 21, the fixing portion 21 is fixed to the cover body 31, and the groove wall of the clamping groove 27 close to the side of the barrel body is connected to the blocking portion 23.

[0033] Obviously, based on the above, the anti-clothing-swinging component 2 in this embodiment is fixed in place by the fixing portion 21 and the clamping portion 22 , has a simple structure, and is also easy to disassemble, facilitating subsequent cleaning or replacement.

[0034] In this embodiment, the groove walls on both sides of the clamping groove 27 can be elastic groove walls.

[0035] Obviously, based on the above, in this embodiment, the clamping groove 27 is configured to be made of elastic material and is clamped and fixed with the convex ring 32 , and the fixing method and fixing structure are simple.

[0036] In this embodiment, the shape of the clamping groove 27 may be adapted to the shape of the protruding ring 32 , and the width of the clamping groove 27 may be slightly smaller than the thickness of the protruding ring 32 .

[0037] Obviously, based on the above, the shape of the clamping groove 27 is adapted to the shape of the convex ring 32 , and the clamping portion 22 can be adjusted by rotating so that the fixing portion 21 is aligned with the corresponding fixing position on the outer barrel cover 3 .

[0038] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, a first handle 24 may be installed on a side of the clamping portion 22 close to the blocking portion 23 , and a second handle 26 may be installed on a side of the clamping portion 22 close to the fixing portion 21 .

[0039] Obviously, based on the above, the user opens the clamping groove 27 through the first handle 24 and the second handle 26 to facilitate the fixation of the clamping portion 22. At this time, the first handle 24 and the second handle 26 are in a vertical state.

[0040] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the first handle 24 can be rotatably connected to the clamping part 22, the blocking part 23 has a rotation groove 25 for the first handle 24 to rotate, the second handle 26 can be rotatably connected to the clamping part 22, and the fixing part 21 has a storage groove for the second handle 26 to rotate.

[0041] Obviously, based on the above, when the clamping portion 22 is completely fixed, the first handle 24 is hidden at the upper end of the blocking portion 23 through the rotating groove 25, and the second handle 26 is rotated and hidden in the receiving groove, without occupying the installation space.

[0042] In this embodiment, the fixing portion 21 may be provided with a mounting hole 28 extending vertically therethrough, and the fixing portion 21 may be fixed to the outer barrel cover 3 through the mounting hole 28 .

[0043] Obviously, based on the above, the fixing portion 21 is fixed to the outer barrel cover 3 through the mounting hole 28 , and the mounting hole 28 is tightened and fixed by screws.

[0045] Obviously, based on the above, the provision of the buffer layer prevents the clothing from hard collision with the blocking part, thereby preventing damage to the clothing.

[0046] In this embodiment, there may be one or more clothing-preventing components 2 .

[0047] Obviously, based on the above, the setting of the anti-clothing-swinging component 2 can effectively prevent clothes from being thrown out.

[0048] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a washing machine comprising any one of the above-mentioned embodiments of the washing machine outer drum.

[0049] Obviously, based on the above, by arranging the outer barrel of the washing machine in the washing machine, it is possible to prevent the clothes from being thrown out of the outer barrel under the action of strong centrifugal force during dehydration, thereby improving the user experience.

[0050] In order to more clearly illustrate the scheme and effect of this implementation, the following examples are provided with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the washing machine is fully loaded, the inner drum of the washing machine rotates at high speed, driving the clothes in the inner drum to rotate at high speed. When the clothes rotate, the edge exceeds the specified height, that is, the height of the outer drum. Under the action of the anti-clothes-swinging component 2, the clothes are blocked back into the drum.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 When installing the anti-clothing-swinging component 2, rotate the first handle 24 and the second handle 26 vertically, and use the first handle 24 and the second handle 26 to exert force to open the clamping groove 27. After the clamping groove 27 is fixed to the convex ring 32, loosen the first handle 24 and the second handle 26, and push the anti-clothing-swinging component 2 so that the mounting hole 28 on the fixing part 21 is aligned with the corresponding position on the outer barrel cover 3, and fix it by screwing in the screws. After the fixation is complete, the first handle 24 is rotated and hidden in the upper end of the blocking part 23, and the second handle 26 is rotated and hidden in the storage groove.

[0053] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
