The drive device 21 drives the shift fork 22, which rotates through the latches 24 at both ends and the latches 37 at both ends of the washing tub 34. This causes the washing tub 34 to rotate inside the water storage tank 32. The rotation generates eddies in the water, causing the clothes to tumble up and down and left and right in the inner tub for rinsing. When the washing tub 34 rotates counterclockwise, the bottom guide plate 39 guides water from the water storage tank 32 into the washing tub 34 to impact the clothes, causing them to rub and tumble against each other. The guide plate 39 has different shaped drainage holes to create water flows in different directions, thereby impacting the clothes and causing them to move irregularly inside the washing tub 34, improving the washing effect.

[0023] In this embodiment, the flushing tub 3 includes a fixed base 31, a water storage tank 32, a rotary bearing 33, a washing tub 34, and a limiting block 35. The fixed base 31 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. A mounting block 36 is formed at the lower end of the fixed base 31. The water storage tank 32 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 36.

The washing tub 34 is disposed inside the water storage tank 32, which is used to hold water for washing clothes. The washing tub 34 is used to hold the clothes placed inside. The limiting block 35 is used to limit the vertical displacement of the washing tub 34. The washing tub 34 rotates above the rotating bearing 33 under the drive of the fork 22. The structure is simple and easy to use. The washing tub 34 is not limited to a circular structure, but can be a quadrilateral, pentagonal, or hexagonal structure.

[0024] In this embodiment, two locking blocks 37 are formed on the upper part of the washing tub 34, and the two ends of the fork 22 are formed with locking slots 24. Each locking block 37 is correspondingly engaged with the corresponding locking slot 24. The middle part of the washing tub 34 has several outflow holes for dehydrating clothes. The locking block 37 and locking slot 24 engaging structure facilitates the opening and closing of the cover 2. When the cover 2 is closed, the locking block 37 engages with the locking slot 24, improving the efficiency of use, and eliminating the need for additional alignment and installation of the fork 22 and the washing tub 34.

[0025] In this embodiment, the bottom of the washing tub 34 is provided with a plurality of flow outlets 38, and a flow guide plate 39 is inclinedly provided on the outer side of each flow outlet 38.

[0026] In this embodiment, the diversion plate 39 and the washing tub 34 are inclined at an angle of 80-100 degrees. The diversion plate 39 is provided with at least a number of diversion holes for water flow. The shape of the diversion holes can be elongated, square, round, chrysanthemum-shaped, hexagonal, or elliptical. The elongated diversion holes located in the middle part have a large water flow rate and can introduce more water to impact the clothes during rotation, preventing the clothes from tangling and knotting.

[0027] In this embodiment, the upper cover 2 forms a drainage channel, which is located above the rinsing tub 3. The drying assembly 23 includes an electric fan 231 and a heating plate 232. The electric fan 231 is disposed on the upper side of the heating plate 232, and the lower end of the heating plate 232 is fixedly connected to the drainage channel. After the dehydration stage, the fan assembly, in conjunction with the heating plate 232, blows hot air into the rinsing tub 3. The drive device 21 drives the washing tub 34 to rotate and shake the clothes, thereby accelerating the dehydration and drying efficiency of the clothes.

[0028] In this embodiment, the drainage assembly 4 includes a connecting pipe 41, an electronic regulating valve 42, and a filter cartridge 43. The connecting pipe 41 is connected to the flushing tank 3. One end of the electronic regulating valve 42 is connected to the connecting pipe 41, and the other end of the electronic regulating valve 42 is connected to the filter cartridge 43. The output end of the filter cartridge 43 is connected to an external sewage pipe.

[0029] In this embodiment, an auxiliary pushing device 5 is provided on one side of the box body 1, and a rotating block 6 is formed on one side of the upper cover 2. The movable end of the auxiliary pushing device 5 is snapped together with the rotating block 6. The auxiliary pushing device 5 is a nitrogen spring, which is used to assist in opening the upper cover 2 and slow down the speed at which the upper cover 2 falls.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model:

[0031] When in use, push open the top cover 2. At this time, the two ends of the fork 22 separate from the washing tub 34. The user puts the clothes into the washing tub 34, closes the top cover 2, and the auxiliary pushing device 5 pushes out to slow down the falling speed of the top cover 2. During the falling process of the top cover 2, the latches 24 at both ends of the fork 22 cooperate with the latches 37 at both ends of the washing tub 34. Water is added into the water storage tank 32 through the water inlet. After the water flow reaches a certain height, the drive device 21 drives the washing tub 34 to rotate. The fork 22 rotates through the latches 24 at both ends and the latches 37 at both ends of the washing tub 34, causing the washing tub 34 to rotate inside the water storage tank 32. The rotation will generate eddies in the water, and the water flow will cause the clothes to tumble up and down and left and right in the inner drum for rinsing. When the washing tub 34 rotates counterclockwise, the bottom guide plate 39 guides water from the water storage tank 32 into the washing tub 34 to impact the clothes, causing the clothes to rub and tumble against each other. The guide plates 39 have different shaped guide holes to form water flows in different directions, thus impacting the clothes and causing them to move irregularly inside the washing tub 34. After washing, the drain assembly 4 drains the water to the external drain pipe. During the dehydration stage, the drive device 21 drives the washing tub 34 to centrifugally rotate the clothes and shake out the water. When the water is separated to a certain extent, the fan assembly, together with the heating plate 232, blows hot air into the rinsing tub 3, which, together with the drive device 21, drives the washing tub 34 to rotate and shake the clothes, accelerating the dehydration and drying efficiency of the clothes.

[0032] Although the embodiments of this utility model are described with reference to actual solutions, they do not constitute a limitation on the meaning of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, modifications to the implementation schemes and combinations with other schemes based on this specification are obvious.
