Moreover, the water flow with the spray direction gradually away from the spray head 51 can more closely flow from top to bottom along the two sides of the surface, so that the water flow sprayed from the spray head 51 can have enough water to effectively wash the middle area and the bottom area of the surface of the door seal 4.

[0106] Optionally, the spray head 51 is arranged on the top of the door seal 4 in the radial direction of the door seal 4, the spray head has at least one spray port 511, and the at least one spray port 511 is located on one side of the spray head in the left-right direction of the cabinet, that is, in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1, all the spray ports 511 on the spray head 51 are located on the same side of the spray head 51.

[0107] With the structure design, compared with the structure form that the spray ports 511 are distributed on different sides of the spray head 51, only the spray ports 511 are arranged on one side of the spray head 51, so that the impact force of the water flow sprayed through the spray ports 511 is stronger, and the water flow can more concentratedly directionally wash part of the surface of the door seal 4, which can improve the cleaning efficiency and effect. The part of the surface of the door seal 4 can be but not limited to a part of the surface of the door seal 4 on which harmful microorganisms such as foreign matters and bacteria and mold are easily attached.

[0108] ​It should be noted that the structure of arranging all the spray ports 511 on the same side of the shower head 51 may cause the problem of incomplete surface cleaning of the door seal 4, so that part of the surface of the door seal 4 is not washed by the water flow or is not completely cleaned. To improve this problem, multiple shower heads 51 can be provided on the door seal 4, and the spray ports 511 on each shower head 51 are directed to different areas on the surface of the door seal 4. In addition, the design of multiple shower heads 51 can be used without affecting the structural layout, and each shower head 51 can be arranged adjacent to the part of the surface of the door seal 4 that can be washed by the shower head 51, so as to shorten the distance from the spray port 511 to the part of the surface of the door seal 4 directed by the spray port 511, so that the impact force of the water flow reaching the surface of the door seal 4 is stronger, and the cleaning efficiency and effect can be further improved.

[0109] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 , a first positioning portion 512 is arranged on the outer wall of the shower head 51, which can be an annular flange formed in the middle part of the outer periphery of the shower head 51; the top of the door seal 4 is provided with a mounting hole 41, and a second positioning portion 411 is arranged in the mounting hole 41, which can be a step formed in the mounting hole 41; during the process of inserting the shower head 51 into the mounting hole 41, at least part of the bottom surface of the first positioning portion 512 can abut at least part of the top surface of the second positioning portion 411, so that the shower head 51 is positioned and assembled on the door seal 4.

[0110] With this structure, by arranging the first positioning portion 512 and the second positioning portion 411, the shower head 51 can be quickly assembled on the door seal 4, and the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0111] It should be noted that in order to ensure the stability of the connection between the shower head 51 and the door seal 4, after the shower head 51 is inserted into the door seal 4, a locking member such as a clamp 6 can be used to lock and fix the shower head 51 and the door seal 4, as shown in Figure 5 .

[0112] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , the water inlet control unit is configured to control the water flow to enter the inner cavity of the shower head 51 through the water pipe 53 and be sprayed from the spray port 511 to the surface of the door seal 4.

[0113] Optionally, the water inlet control unit can be a water inlet valve 52 or a combination of the water inlet valve 52 and the soap box 7.

[0114] When the water inlet control unit is only the water inlet valve 52, the water pipe 53 is directly connected with the water outlet of the water inlet valve 52, and the water inlet valve 52 can control the water flow introduced by the water inlet valve 52 to enter the water pipe 53. It should be understood that the water inlet valve 52 can also supply water to the soap box 7 through another water outlet of the water inlet valve 52, so that the water inlet valve 52 has more functions and can save the layout space of the washing machine.

[0115] When the water inlet control unit is a combination of the water inlet valve 52 and the soap box 7, the water pipe 53 is connected with the soap box 7, and the soap box 7 is provided with a flow channel communicating the water pipe 53 and the water inlet valve 52, and the water flow introduced by the water inlet valve 52 can enter the water pipe 53 through the flow channel in the soap box 7 by controlling the water inlet valve 52.

[0116] Of course, the specific structure of the water inlet control unit is not limited to the above two structure modes, and can be designed according to the internal structure and layout of the washing machine, so that the water inlet control unit can meet the needs of supplying water to the water pipe 53 and the spray head 51.

[0117] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The cleaning structure 5 further comprises a sterilization and mold removal box 54 connected in series with the water pipe 53, the inner cavity of the sterilization and mold removal box 54 is provided with sterilization and mold removal agents 548, and at least part of the sterilization and mold removal components on the sterilization and mold removal agents 548 can be dissolved in the water flowing through the inner cavity of the sterilization and mold removal box 54.

[0118] With the above structure design, the sterilization and mold removal box 54 with the sterilization and mold removal agents 548 built-in is connected in series with the water pipe 53, and the water flow used for cleaning the door seal ring 4 can flow through the inner cavity of the sterilization and mold removal box 54 and the sterilization and mold removal agents 548 in the inner cavity, when the water flow passes through the surface of the sterilization and mold removal agents 548, the sterilization and mold removal components on the sterilization and mold removal agents 548 can be dissolved in the water flow, and the water flow can be sprayed to the surface of the door seal ring 4 through the spray port 511 together with the sterilization and mold removal components, so that the bacteria, mold and other harmful microorganisms attached to the door seal ring 4 can be killed at the same time when the door seal ring 4 is cleaned, so as to prevent the door seal ring 4 from mildewing and producing odor, improve the user's experience of using the product, and reduce the impact on the user's health.

[0119] It should be understood that the sterilization and mold removal box 54 connected in series with the water pipe 53 can include the following modes:

[0120] I. The sterilization and mold removal box 54 is connected to one end of the water pipe 53 close to the water inlet control unit, for example, the sterilization and mold removal box 54 is arranged between the water pipe 53 and the water inlet control unit.

[0121] II. The sterilization and mold removal box 54 is connected to one end of the water pipe 53 close to the spray head 51, for example, the sterilization and mold removal box 54 is arranged between the water pipe 53 and the spray head 51.

[0122] III. The sterilization and mold removal box 54 is connected to the middle section of the water pipe 53, and the sterilization and mold removal box 54 divides the water pipe 53 into two sections, i.e., a first section water pipe 531 and a second section water pipe 532. The first section water pipe 531 is connected between the water inlet control unit and the sterilization and mold removal box 54, and the second section water pipe 532 is connected between the sterilization and mold removal box 54 and the spray head 51.

[0123] Referring to Figures 7 to 11 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , structural diagrams of the sterilization and mold removal box in different states are provided, and a specific structure of a sterilization and mold removal box is shown. Figure 9 A structural diagram of the internal structure of a first box body is provided, and a specific structure of a first box body is shown.

Figure 11 A structural diagram of the internal structure of a sterilization and mold removal box is provided, and a specific structure of a chamber in a sterilization and mold removal box is shown.

[0124] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , a specific structure of the sterilization and mold removal box 54 can be that the sterilization and mold removal box 54 comprises a detachable first box body 541 and a second box body 542.

[0125] Specifically, as shown in Figure 9 , the first box body 541 has a first inner cavity 5411 and a first communication port 5412 in communication with the first inner cavity 5411, and the end of the first inner cavity 5411 away from the first communication port 5412 is formed with a first opening 5413.

[0126] As shown in Figure 10 , the second box body 542 has a second inner cavity 5421 and a second communication port 5422 in communication with the second inner cavity 5421, and the end of the second inner cavity 5421 away from the second communication port 5422 is formed with a second opening 5423.

[0127] The cavity wall of the first inner cavity 5411 and the cavity wall of the second inner cavity 5421 are detachably connected, and the first inner cavity 5411 and the second inner cavity 5421 together form a chamber 543 capable of containing sterilization and mold removal agents 548; the first communication port 5412, the chamber 543, and the second communication port 5422 together form a passage capable of allowing water flow.

[0128] With the above structural design, the sterilization and mold removal box 54 is designed as a detachable split structure, i.e., the first box body 541 and the second box body 542, and by opening the first box body 541 and the second box body 542, the sterilization and mold removal agents 548 can be conveniently loaded or replaced.

[0129] Optionally, the cavity wall of the first inner cavity 5411 and the cavity wall of the second inner cavity 5421 can be connected by threads.

The cavity wall of the first inner cavity 5411 enters the second inner cavity 5421 through the second opening 5423, and the cavity wall of the first inner cavity 5411 is screwed into the second inner cavity 5421 by the cooperation of the external thread 5414 and the internal thread 5424, so as to realize the connection between the cavity wall of the first inner cavity 5411 and the cavity wall of the second inner cavity 5421. Figures 9 to 11 With the above structure design, the detachable connection between the cavity wall of the first inner cavity 5411 and the cavity wall of the second inner cavity 5421 is realized by the threaded connection, so that the first box body 541 and the second box body 542 can be conveniently and quickly disassembled and assembled, and the disassembly and assembly efficiency between the first box body 541 and the second box body 542 is improved.

[0131] Of course, the cavity wall of the first inner cavity 5411 and the cavity wall of the second inner cavity 5421 can also be connected by other ways, such as plug-in connection, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0132] Optionally, as shown in the drawings, a sealing structure 547 is arranged at the connection between the cavity wall of the first inner cavity 5411 and the cavity wall of the second inner cavity 5421, and the sealing structure 547 can be a rubber sealing ring.

[0133] Figure 11 With the above structure design, by arranging the sealing structure 547 at the connection between the cavity wall of the first inner cavity 5411 and the cavity wall of the second inner cavity 5421, the water flow can be prevented from flowing out from the connection, and the sealing performance of the sterilization and mold removal box 54 is improved.

[0134] For the convenience of description, the connection mode between the sterilization and mold removal box 54 and the water pipe 53 will be described below by taking the case that the sterilization and mold removal box 54 is connected to the middle section of the water pipe 53 as an example.

[0135] The sterilization and mold removal box 54 is connected in series to the water pipe 53 through the first communication port 5412 and the second communication port 5422. Specifically, the water pipe 53 is divided into a first section water pipe 531 and a second section water pipe 532; the first section water pipe 531 is connected between the water inlet control unit and the first box body 541, and the first box body 541 is detachably connected to the first section water pipe 531 through the first communication port 5412; the second section water pipe 532 is connected between the second box body 542 and the spray head 51, and the second box body 542 is detachably connected to the second section water pipe 532 through the second communication port 5422.

[0154] The above-mentioned various disassembly and assembly methods can improve the flexibility of disassembly and assembly of the sterilization and mold removal box 54. In specific operation, the sterilization and mold removal box 54 can be disassembled and assembled conveniently and quickly according to the disassembly and assembly requirements or the environment in which the sterilization and mold removal box 54 is located. Especially when the sterilization and mold removal box 54 is in a small space, selecting the appropriate disassembly and assembly method can reduce the difficulty of disassembly and assembly of the sterilization and mold removal box 54 and improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the sterilization and mold removal box 54.

[0155] Referring to Figures 9 to 12 Figure 9 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a first box is provided; wherein the specific composition of a first box is shown. Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a second box is provided; wherein the specific composition of a second box is shown. Figure 11 A schematic diagram of a medicament limiting mechanism placed in the sterilization and mold removal box is provided; wherein the specific composition of the medicament limiting mechanism and its placement relationship in the sterilization and mold removal box are shown. Figure 12 A schematic diagram of another medicament limiting mechanism placed in the sterilization and mold removal box is provided; wherein the specific composition of the medicament limiting mechanism and its placement relationship in the sterilization and mold removal box are shown.

[0156] In some embodiments, a medicament limiting mechanism is arranged in the chamber 543, and the medicament limiting mechanism is configured to allow water flow and limit the sterilization and mold removal agent 548 in the chamber 543.

[0157] Further, as Figures 9 to 11 ​As shown, one specific structure of the medicine limiting mechanism can be: the medicine limiting mechanism comprises a first porous plate 544 and a second porous plate 545; the first porous plate 544 is arranged in the first inner cavity 5411 and located between the first communication port 5412 and the first opening 5413, and the first porous plate 544 is configured to allow water flowing through the first porous plate 544 to pass through the holes on the first porous plate 544 and prevent the sterilizing and mold-removing medicine 548 from passing through; the second porous plate 545 is arranged in the second inner cavity 5421 and located between the second communication port 5422 and the second opening 5423, and the second porous plate 545 is configured to allow water flowing through the second porous plate 545 to pass through the holes on the second porous plate 545 and prevent the sterilizing and mold-removing medicine 548 from passing through; when the cavity wall of the first inner cavity 5411 is connected with the cavity wall of the second inner cavity 5421, the sterilizing and mold-removing medicine 548 placed in the sterilizing and mold-removing box 54 is located between the first porous plate 544 and the second porous plate 545.

[0158] Optionally, the connection between the first porous plate 544 and the first inner cavity 5411 and the connection between the second porous plate 545 and the second inner cavity 5421 can be integrally formed or plugged, etc.

[0159] With the above structure design, the first porous plate 544 and the second porous plate 545 are arranged in the cavity chamber 543 of the sterilizing and mold-removing box 54, the holes on the first porous plate 544 and the second porous plate 545 allow water to pass through, so as to ensure that water can flow into the cavity chamber 543 and flow out of the cavity chamber 543; moreover, by designing the size of the holes on the first porous plate 544 and the second porous plate 545, the sterilizing and mold-removing medicine 548 cannot pass through the holes on the first porous plate 544 and the second porous plate 545, so as to limit the sterilizing and mold-removing medicine 548 in the cavity chamber 543, thereby preventing the sterilizing and mold-removing medicine 548 from entering the water pipe 53 or the spray head 51 to cause blockage, or preventing the sterilizing and mold-removing medicine 548 that is not dissolved in water from entering the door seal ring 4 or the cartridge assembly 3 with water flow to cause waste and pollution of the medicine; in addition, the first porous plate 544, the second porous plate 545 and the cavity chamber 543 jointly form a space capable of accommodating the sterilizing and mold-removing medicine 548, the sterilizing and mold-removing medicine 548 is placed in the space and can be in contact with water flowing into the space, so that the sterilizing and mold-removing components on the sterilizing and mold-removing medicine 548 can be dissolved in the water flow and sprayed onto the door seal ring 4 together with the water flow.

[0160] It should be noted that the first porous plate 544 also has a filtering effect, which can block foreign matters in the water flow on the side of the cavity chamber 543 away from the spray head 51, prevent the foreign matters from entering the inner cavity of the spray head 51, and make the foreign matters accumulate between the sterilizing and mold-removing box 54 and the first section of water pipe 531, so that the foreign matters can be cleaned by detaching the connection between the sterilizing and mold-removing box 54 and the first section of water pipe 531, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0161] Further, as shown in Figure 12 , another specific structure of the medicament limiting mechanism can be that the medicament limiting mechanism is a mesh bag 546 capable of containing the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament 548, and the mesh bag 546 is configured to be connected to the inner wall of the chamber 543 and limit the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament 548 in the mesh bag 546 to the chamber 543.

[0162] Optionally, the bag opening of the mesh bag 546 can be tightened and closed by a drawstring 5461, the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament 548 can be loaded into the mesh bag 546 from the bag opening and the bag opening can be closed by tightening the drawstring 5461; a hook 5431 is arranged on the inner wall of the chamber 543, and after the bag opening is closed, the drawstring 5461 can be hooked on the hook 5431 to achieve the connection between the mesh bag 546 and the inner wall of the chamber 543.

[0163] With the above structure design, the mesh bag 546 is arranged in the chamber 543 of the sterilizing and mold-preventing box 54, the mesh holes on the mesh bag 546 can allow the water flow to pass through, the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament 548 built-in the mesh bag 546 can be contacted with the water flow, and the sterilizing and mold-preventing components on the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament 548 can be dissolved in the water flow and sprayed onto the door seal 4 together with the water flow; moreover, the mesh bag 546 is connected to the inner wall of the chamber 543, which can limit the mesh bag 546 and the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament 548 in the mesh bag 546 to the chamber 543, so as to prevent the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament 548 from entering into the water pipe 53 or the shower head 51 to cause blockage, or prevent the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament 548 that is not dissolved in the water from entering into the door seal 4 or the cartridge assembly 3 together with the water flow to cause waste and pollution of the medicament.

[0164] Of course, the specific structure of the medicament limiting mechanism is not limited to the above two ways, which is not limited herein.

[0165] Referring to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 11 , a structure diagram of a medicament limiting mechanism is provided; and a configuration relationship of the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament in the medicament limiting mechanism is shown. Figure 12 Another structure diagram of a medicament limiting mechanism is provided; and a configuration relationship of the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament in the medicament limiting mechanism is shown.

[0166] In some embodiments, the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament 548 is a matrix type preparation capable of slowly releasing sterilizing and mold-preventing components in water, and a specific structure of the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament 548 can be that the sterilizing and mold-preventing medicament 548 includes a drug-loaded matrix and sterilizing and mold-preventing components, and the sterilizing and mold-preventing components are loaded on the drug-loaded matrix.

[0167] With the above structure design, since the sterilization and mildew prevention agent 548 is a matrix type preparation capable of slowly releasing the sterilization and mildew prevention component in water, the sterilization and mildew prevention agent 548 can provide the sterilization and mildew prevention component to the water flow for a long time and continuously, thereby improving the sterilization and mildew prevention effect and reducing the replacement frequency of the sterilization and mildew prevention agent 548.

[0168] Optionally, the drug-loaded matrix can be in a granular form and insoluble in water, so that the sterilization and mildew prevention agent 548 can also be in a granular form.

[0169] It should be understood that after the sterilization and mildew prevention component on the sterilization and mildew prevention agent 548 is completely slowly released into the water, the drug-loaded matrix will still remain in the water.

[0170] As shown in Figure 11 , when the agent limiting mechanism is the combination of the first porous plate 544 and the second porous plate 545, the particle size of the drug-loaded matrix is greater than the maximum pore size of the pores in the first porous plate 544 and the second porous plate 545, so as to ensure that the sterilization and mildew prevention agent 548 and the drug-loaded matrix can always be limited between the first porous plate 544 and the second porous plate 545, so as to prevent the sterilization and mildew prevention agent 548 or the drug-loaded matrix from entering the water pipe 53 or the spray head 51 to cause blockage, or prevent the sterilization and mildew prevention agent 548 or the drug-loaded matrix from entering the door seal ring 4 or the drum assembly 3 to cause waste and pollution of the agent.

[0171] As shown in Figure 12 , when the agent limiting mechanism is the mesh bag 546, the particle size of the drug-loaded matrix is greater than the maximum pore size of the mesh holes on the mesh bag 546, so as to ensure that the sterilization and mildew prevention agent 548 and the drug-loaded matrix can always be limited in the mesh bag 546, so as to prevent the sterilization and mildew prevention agent 548 or the drug-loaded matrix from entering the water pipe 53 or the spray head 51 to cause blockage, or prevent the sterilization and mildew prevention agent 548 or the drug-loaded matrix from entering the door seal ring 4 or the drum assembly 3 to cause waste and pollution of the agent.
