Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of washing machines, and particularly relates to a water-interference prevention structure of a washing machine. Background Art

[0002] In current washing machines with automatic dispensing, the water flowing through the water guide is used to rinse the detergent, while the detergent and softener compartments are separate areas for storing detergent and softener, which should not cross each other. However, as the water guide guides water, it is inevitable that water will enter the detergent or softener compartments due to creep or unstable flow. Furthermore, every time the user opens and closes the powder compartment, water droplets from the powder compartment cover hitting the water guide adhere to the surface of the detergent or softener cover and enter the detergent or softener compartments. As the amount of water in the detergent or softener compartments increases, the washing machine's sensors may mistakenly detect the presence of detergent, affecting the washing process. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a water-interference prevention structure for a washing machine, which can effectively solve the problem in the prior art that water flows into the detergent chamber or the softener chamber, affecting the washing effect.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0005] A washing machine anti-water cross-contamination structure comprises a water guide, a powder box cover, a powder box and a water box connected in sequence from top to bottom, the water guide being connected to a water inlet pipe, the powder box being provided with a powder box cavity for placing washing powder, a detergent cavity for placing detergent and a softener cavity for placing softener, the water guide being provided with a water guide column communicating with the powder box cavity, the water box being provided with a water outlet communicating with the powder box cavity, the powder box cover being provided on the powder box, the powder box cover being provided with a detergent inlet and a softener inlet, the outer peripheries of the detergent inlet and the softener inlet being provided with drainage grooves, the drainage grooves being communicated with the powder box cavity, and the notch of the drainage grooves being provided with a drainage slope.

[0006] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a plurality of water guide columns are provided, and the plurality of water guide columns are arranged at intervals.

[0007] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a water retaining rib is further provided on a side of the water guide facing the powder box cavity, and the water retaining rib is located on a side close to the detergent cavity and the softener cavity.

[0008] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the lower surface of the water guide column is flush with the lower surface of the water retaining rib.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the detergent chamber upper cover is provided with a detergent cover, and the softener chamber upper cover is provided with a softener cover.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a sealing ring is provided between the detergent chamber and the detergent cover, and between the softener chamber and the softener cover.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the water deflector upper cover is provided with a water deflector cover.

[0012] The anti-water leakage structure of a washing machine provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0013] During the process of water guiding by the water guide, the water flows into the powder box cavity along the water guide column and flows out from the water outlet to the inner barrel of the washing machine. Since the outer periphery of the detergent inlet and the softener inlet are provided with drainage grooves, the drainage grooves are connected with the powder box, and the groove openings of the drainage grooves are provided with drainage slopes, it is difficult for the water to penetrate into the detergent cavity and the softener cavity. Even if the water penetrates into the drainage grooves, since the drainage grooves are connected with the powder box cavity and the groove openings of the drainage grooves are provided with drainage slopes, the water can also flow into the powder box cavity through the drainage grooves, thereby ensuring the washing effect.
