DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.
[0028] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "up, down, left, right" may refer to Figure 1 The front-to-back direction, the up-down direction, and the left-to-right direction are perpendicular to each other. The front side of the washing machine facing the user is generally considered the front, and the rear side is generally considered the rear. The up-down direction can also refer to the direction of gravity of the washing machine. The terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have a sequential or significant meaning. In addition, in the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements, which are not detailed in this disclosure.
[0029] In the related art, for a twin-drum washing machine under a standard housing, the twin-drum washing machine includes a first barrel and a second barrel, and the second barrel is arranged above the first barrel. Since it is a standard housing, that is, the size of the housing is fixed, the height of the second barrel is usually greater than or equal to the height of a conventional feeding box. Due to conventional manual feeding, the water flow uses the gravity of the water to flush the washing liquid in the feeding box into the barrel, which makes it impossible to manually feed the washing liquid into the second barrel with the conventional manual feeding solution.
[0030] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a washing machine, Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the washing machine includes: a first barrel 1; a second barrel 2, the diameter of the second barrel 2 is smaller than the diameter of the first barrel 1; and a door body 3, the door body 3 is used to selectively cover the opening of the second barrel 2, the door body 3 includes a main body door 31, a protrusion 32 and a feeding device 33, the protrusion 32 is arranged on the inner side of the main body door 31, the feeding device 33 is arranged on the protrusion 32, and has a feeding port 50, a water inlet 10 and an outlet 20 connected to both the feeding port 50 and the water inlet 10.
[0031] Through the above technical solution, in the washing machine provided by the present invention, the user can put the detergent into the dispensing device 33 through the feeding port 50. When the door body 3 closes the opening of the second barrel 2, the second barrel 2 can wash the clothes. Since the dispensing device 33 is arranged on the protrusion 32, the outlet 20 is connected with the interior of the second barrel 2 at this time. When water enters the dispensing device 33 through the water inlet 10, the water flow can be mixed with the detergent and rushed into the interior of the second barrel 2 through the outlet 20. Thus, the manual dispensing of the detergent into the second barrel 2 can be realized through the door.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in FIG, the feeding device 33 may include a mixing chamber 331, which is connected between the water inlet 10 and the outlet 20, and the mixing chamber 331 is also connected between the feeding port 50 and the outlet 20. In this way, the water flow and the washing liquid can be better mixed, and the water flow can better flush the washing liquid into the outlet 20.
[0033] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown in the figure, the dispensing device 33 may include a siphon structure arranged in a mixing bin 331. The siphon structure may include a siphon tube 332 and a siphon cap 333. The siphon tube 332 is connected to the outlet 20. The siphon cap 333 is sleeved on the siphon tube 332 and forms a siphon channel 30 with the siphon cap 333.
[0034] Through the above technical solution, when water continues to flow into the mixing chamber 331, the liquid level of the mixed liquid in the mixing chamber 331 continues to rise. When the liquid level of the mixed liquid is higher than the siphon level of the siphon structure, the mixed liquid undergoes a siphon phenomenon and continues to reach the outlet 20 through the siphon channel 30, and then flows into the interior of the second barrel 2. In this way, manual siphoning of the washing liquid in the second barrel 2 can be achieved. Here, since the diameter of the second barrel 2 is smaller than the diameter of the first barrel 1, the second barrel 2 can be used to wash smaller or lighter clothes, and the first barrel 1 can be used to wash larger or heavier clothes.
[0035] It should be noted that the principle of siphoning the mixed liquid using the siphon tube 332 and the siphon cap 333 is well known to those skilled in the art and is not further elaborated herein. Furthermore, the washing liquid in the present disclosure may include at least detergent, softener, disinfectant, etc., without limitation in this disclosure. Furthermore, the mixed liquid described above may be understood to be a mixture of water and washing liquid. In some embodiments, the protrusion 32 may be made of glass, without limitation in this disclosure.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2As shown in , the feeding device 33 may include a feeding bin 334, which is connected between the feeding port 50 and the mixing bin 331. In this way, the washing liquid can enter the feeding bin through the feeding port and then flow into the mixing bin, thereby facilitating the mixing of water and washing liquid.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2 As shown in , the protrusion 32 may be provided with a receiving cavity 321, and the mixing chamber 331 and the feeding chamber 334 are both arranged in the receiving cavity 321. In this way, the space of the protrusion 32 itself can be used to arrange the mixing chamber 331 and the feeding chamber 334, thereby reducing the volume of the door body 3 and facilitating the rational use of the space for the washing machine layout.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in FIG, the feeding device 33 may include a cover plate 335, which may include a first sub-cover 3351. The first sub-cover 3351 is disposed above the feeding bin 334 and has a vent 40 connected to the feeding bin 334. The vent 40 allows the feeding bin 334 to communicate with the atmosphere, thereby facilitating the siphoning of the mixed liquid by the siphon structure. The first sub-cover 3351 may also have the aforementioned feeding port 50.
[0039] Wherein, in some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in FIG, there are multiple vent holes 40, which are arranged in rows and columns. This arrangement has the advantage that the diameter of the vent holes 40 can be reduced while maintaining the same layout area, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering the feeding bin 334. Furthermore, the smaller diameter of the vent holes 40 can also prevent components in the feeding bin 334 from leaking out.
[0040] In some embodiments, the feeding bin 334 may include a plurality of separated sub-cavities, for example, three sub-cavities, which are used to feed detergent, softener, and disinfectant, respectively. The present disclosure does not impose any additional restrictions on this.
[0041] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the cover plate 335 may include a second sub-cover 3352, and the siphon cap 333 is connected to the second sub-cover 3352. In this way, while the second sub-cover 3352 is installed, the siphon cap 333 can be simultaneously installed in the siphon tube 332, wherein the second sub-cover 3352 is covered above the mixing bin 331, and the second sub-cover 3352 is provided with a water inlet 10, which facilitates the forming of the water inlet 10.
[0042] In some embodiments, the cover plate 335 is detachably connected to the protrusion 32. This facilitates the assembly and removal of the cover plate 335, and after the cover plate 335 is removed, the user can also clean the residual liquid in the feeding bin 334 and the mixing bin 331. In some embodiments, the cover plate 335 and the protrusion 32 can be snap-fitted together. For example, one of the cover plate 335 and the protrusion 32 can be provided with a buckle, and the other can be provided with a slot. The buckle and the slot can be engaged to achieve the snap-fit connection between the cover plate 335 and the protrusion 32. Of course, the cover plate 335 and the protrusion 32 can also be connected together by fasteners, and this disclosure does not impose too many restrictions on this.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG, the protrusion 32 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other in the axial direction of the door body 3. The first side is connected to the main body door 31, and the second side is provided with the outlet 20. In this way, since the second side is closer to the interior of the second cylinder 2 than the first side, this arrangement can further ensure that the mixed liquid flowing out of the outlet 20 flows into the interior of the second cylinder 2.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the second barrel 2 can be arranged at the upper right of the first barrel 1. This makes it easier for users to remove clothes from the second barrel 2. Of course, in other embodiments, the second barrel 2 can also be arranged at the upper left, lower left, or even lower right of the first barrel 1, and this disclosure does not impose too many restrictions on this.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first barrel 1 may also be provided with the door 3 as described above, so that manual addition of washing liquid into the first barrel 1 can be achieved.
[0046] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
