Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of washing machines, in particular to a washing machine that can be connected in parallel. Background Art
[0002] A small washing machine is a type of washing machine used for washing small items such as underwear or towels. It is characterized by its compact size and small washing capacity. Typically, one small washing machine can only clean three to five pieces of underwear. However, for larger families, one small washing machine is insufficient, and multiple units are needed. However, multiple small washing machines require a large water supply, requiring multiple faucets to be installed indoors. This results in users having to modify their household water supply when using multiple small washing machines. This is a rather cumbersome process, and restoring the water supply to its original state when the machine is no longer in use also requires considerable expense and time. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a small-sized clothes washing machine which can be easily assembled in parallel and does not require modification of household water pipes.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the problem is: a washing machine that can be connected in parallel, comprising:
[0005] A washing machine body, wherein a washing machine cavity is provided in the washing machine body, a water inlet channel and a drainage channel are provided in the washing machine body, both ends of the water inlet channel extend to the surface of the washing machine body to form a water inlet and a water inlet outlet, both ends of the drainage channel extend to the surface of the washing machine body to form a drainage inlet and a drainage outlet, a water inlet branch connected to the washing chamber is provided on the water inlet channel, a water inlet valve is provided on the water inlet branch, a drainage branch pipe connected to the washing chamber is provided on the drainage channel, a drainage branch pipe is provided on the drainage valve, and plugs are detachably installed on the water inlet outlet and the drainage inlet.
[0006] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a water inlet is provided at the bottom of the washing chamber, and the water inlet branch pipe and the drainage branch pipe are both connected to the water inlet.
[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a water inlet hole connected to the water inlet branch is provided at the upper portion of the washing chamber, and a drainage hole connected to the drainage branch is provided at the bottom of the washing chamber.
[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the washing machine body is provided with an anti-slip rope connected to the plug.
[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a receiving hole is provided on the surface of the washing machine body, and the plug is detachably installed in the receiving hole.
[0010] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that when the product is used alone, it is only necessary to connect the water inlet to the faucet and connect the drainage outlet to the indoor sewage outlet, and block the water inlet and drainage inlet of the product with a plug. At this time, when water is inletted, the water inlet branch is controlled by the water inlet valve to allow or stop water from entering the washing chamber, and when drainage is in progress, the drainage valve is controlled to allow sewage to be discharged along the drainage outlet. When multiple small-sized laundry washing machines are needed, the water inlet of the first small-sized laundry washing machine is connected to the faucet, and the water inlets and water outlets of two adjacent small-sized laundry washing machines are connected, the water inlet outlet of the last small-sized laundry washing machine is blocked with a plug, and the drainage inlet of the first small-sized laundry washing machine is blocked with a plug, and the drainage inlets and water outlets of the two adjacent small-sized laundry washing machines are connected, and then the drainage outlet of the last small-sized laundry washing machine is connected to the indoor sewage outlet. In this way, the water inlet channels and drainage channels of all small laundry washing machines are connected, and the water inlet and drainage of each small laundry washing machine are controlled by the water inlet valve on the corresponding water inlet branch pipe and the drain valve on the drainage branch pipe, so that all small laundry washing machines are connected in parallel. Only one faucet is needed, and the pipeline layout is simpler and more convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , a washing machine that can be connected in parallel, comprising:
[0020] A washing machine body 10 is provided with a washing chamber 11, and a water inlet channel 20 and a drainage channel 30 are provided in the washing machine body 10. Both ends of the water inlet channel 20 extend to the surface of the washing machine body 10 to form a water inlet 21 and a water inlet outlet 22. Both ends of the drainage channel 30 extend to the surface of the washing machine body 10 to form a drainage inlet 31 and a drainage outlet 32. A water inlet manifold 23 connected to the washing chamber 11 is provided on the water inlet channel 20, and a water inlet valve is provided on the water inlet manifold 23. A drainage branch pipe 33 connected to the washing chamber 11 is provided on the drainage channel 30, and a drainage valve is provided on the drainage branch pipe 33. A plug 40 is detachably installed on the water inlet outlet 22 and the drainage inlet 31.
[0021] When this product is used alone, it is only necessary to connect the water inlet 21 to the faucet and connect the drain outlet 32 to the indoor sewage outlet. The water inlet 22 and drain inlet 31 of this product are blocked with a plug 40. At this time, the water inlet valve controls the water inlet manifold 23 during water inlet, thereby allowing or stopping water from entering the washing chamber 11, while the drain valve controls the sewage to be discharged through the drain outlet 32 during drainage. When multiple small laundry washing machines are needed, the water inlet 21 of the first small laundry washing machine is connected to the faucet, and the water inlets 21 and water inlet outlets 22 of two adjacent small laundry washing machines are connected. The water inlet outlet 22 of the last small laundry washing machine is blocked with a plug 40. At the same time, the drain inlet 31 of the first small laundry washing machine is blocked with a plug 40, and the drain inlets 31 and water inlet outlets 22 of the two adjacent small laundry washing machines are connected. Then, the drain outlet 32 of the last small laundry washing machine is connected to the indoor sewage outlet. In this way, the water inlet channels 20 and the drainage channels 30 on all small laundry washing machines are connected, and the water inlet and drainage of each small laundry washing machine are controlled by the water inlet valve on the corresponding water inlet branch 23 and the drainage valve on the drainage branch 33, so that all small laundry washing machines are connected in parallel. Only one faucet is needed, and the pipeline layout is simpler and more convenient.
[0022] In the first embodiment, a water inlet is provided at the bottom of the washing chamber 11, and the water inlet manifold 23 and the drainage manifold 33 are both connected to the water inlet. This method has a simple structure, but both clean water and sewage enter and exit the washing chamber 11 through a single inlet, which can easily cause sewage interference. In the second embodiment, a water inlet is provided at the bottom of the washing chamber 11, and the water inlet manifold 23 and the drainage manifold 33 are both connected to the water inlet. In this method, water intake and drainage are carried out independently, and sewage interference will not occur. The specific management settings are selected based on cost and needs and are not limited. For example, the water inlet manifold 23 and the drainage manifold 33 can be arranged at the bottom of the washing chamber 11 to form two inlets.
[0023] In this solution, in order to avoid the loss of the plug 40, it is preferred that an anti-drop rope connected to the plug 40 is provided on the washing machine body 10, or a accommodating hole is provided on the surface of the washing machine body 10, and the plug 40 can be removably installed in the accommodating hole, so that when the plug 40 does not block the water inlet 22 or the drainage inlet 31, it is installed in the accommodating hole.
[0024] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
