Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of washing equipment, in particular to a washing machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The washing machine is a cleaning electric appliance which uses electric energy to produce mechanical action to wash clothes.

[0003] At present, some washing machines have two water inlet valves, one of which is used for cold water inlet and the other of which is used for hot water inlet, so that the washing machine can realize cold and hot water inlet. Correspondingly, the water inlet box of the washing machine is also provided with water inlet channels at positions corresponding to the two water inlet valves, and when the water inlet valves are communicated with the corresponding water inlet channels, water can be inlet into the washing machine through the water inlet box. When some users use such a washing machine and connect one water inlet valve with an external water source interface, they usually only connect the water inlet valve for cold water inlet with the external water source interface, so as to inlet cold water into the washing machine through the water inlet valve and the corresponding water inlet channel. In this way, when the water pressure in the water inlet box is too large, the water in the water inlet box will leak out through the other water inlet valve for hot water inlet.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem that the water in the water inlet box of the washing machine leaks out through the water inlet valve for hot water inlet has become a technical problem to be solved. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0005] The embodiment of the present application provides a washing machine, which can prevent water from leaking out from the first water inlet valve when the water pressure in the water inlet box is too large while realizing cold and hot water inlet of the washing machine, and can ensure that the washing machine has high production efficiency and improves user experience.

[0006] In a first aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a washing machine, which comprises a machine body.

[0007] The washing machine further comprises a water inlet valve assembly. The water inlet valve assembly comprises a first water inlet valve and a second water inlet valve, both of which are installed on the machine body, and the temperature of water output by the first water inlet valve is higher than that of water output by the second water inlet valve.

[0008] The washing machine further comprises a water inlet box assembly. The water inlet box assembly comprises a water inlet box, which is installed on the machine body. The water inlet box comprises a first box body. The water inlet box further comprises a second box body, which is connected with the first box body and has a first water inlet channel and a second water inlet channel in the second box body, the first water inlet channel is communicated with the first water inlet valve, and the second water inlet channel is communicated with the second water inlet valve. The water inlet box further comprises a water distribution piece, which is connected to one side of the second box body facing the first box body, and the water distribution piece and the second box body jointly define a water inlet cavity, and a receiving cavity is formed between the water distribution piece and the first box body. The water distribution piece is configured to divide the water in the water inlet cavity into the receiving cavity, and the water inlet cavity is communicated with the second water inlet channel.

[0009] The water inlet box assembly comprises a storage box movably arranged in the accommodating cavity.

[0010] The water inlet box assembly further comprises a check member arranged between the water distribution member and the second box body. When the first water inlet valve supplies water to the first water inlet channel and the second water inlet valve supplies water to the second water inlet channel, the check member is configured to connect the first water inlet channel and the water inlet cavity. When the second water inlet valve supplies water to the second water inlet channel and the first water inlet valve does not supply water to the first water inlet channel, the check member is configured to block the connection between the water inlet cavity and the first water inlet channel.

[0011] According to the embodiments of the present application, when the check member connects the first water inlet channel and the water inlet cavity, the first water inlet valve can be connected to the water inlet cavity through the first water inlet channel. Thus, when the second water inlet valve supplies water to the water inlet cavity and the first water inlet valve is connected to the water inlet cavity, both the first water inlet valve and the second water inlet valve can supply water to the water inlet cavity, thereby increasing the temperature of the water in the accommodating cavity and making the water in the accommodating cavity warm water, so that the washing machine can realize hot water inlet.

[0012] When the check member blocks the connection between the water inlet cavity and the first water inlet channel, the water inlet cavity cannot be connected to the first water inlet channel. Thus, only the second water inlet valve supplies water to the water inlet cavity through the second water inlet channel, and the temperature of the water in the accommodating cavity is low (cold water), so that the washing machine can realize cold water inlet. At this time, due to the blocking of the check member, the water in the water inlet cavity cannot enter the first water inlet channel when the water pressure is too large, and thus the water in the water inlet box cannot leak out through the first water inlet valve when the water pressure is too large. According to the embodiments of the present application, the check member is arranged to realize cold and hot water inlet of the washing machine, and the water inlet box has a check function to prevent water from leaking out of the first water inlet valve when only the second water valve supplies water to the water inlet cavity and the water pressure in the water inlet box is too large, thereby achieving the effect of water sealing.

[0013] In addition, the water inlet box assembly is a component, which is assembled with other components of the washing machine in the whole machine assembly process to obtain the whole washing machine. Compared with the method of adding an end cover to the end of the water inlet valve, the present application can achieve the effect of water sealing by adding the check member without affecting the original whole machine assembly process, i.e., without the need for additional components or processes in the original whole machine assembly process, thereby ensuring high production efficiency of the washing machine.

[0014] In addition, compared with the method of adding an end cover to the end of the water inlet valve, the check member is arranged in the water inlet box and is not easy to be lost, and the user does not need to perform additional operations, thereby facilitating the use of the user and improving the user experience.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first water inlet channel has a first connecting opening located on the side of the second box body facing the water distribution member and connected to the water inlet cavity.

[0016] The reverse-stopping piece is arranged at a position opposite to the first communication port of the second box body and is connected with the second box body to open or close the first communication port, so that the reverse-stopping piece communicates the first water inlet channel and the water inlet cavity or blocks the communication between the first water inlet channel and the water inlet cavity.

[0017] In some embodiments, the reverse-stopping piece has a fixed part and a deformation part, the fixed part is connected with the second box body;

[0018] When the first water inlet valve supplies water to the first water inlet channel, the deformation part is configured to deform toward a side of the water distribution piece under the action of water pressure to open the first communication port, so that the reverse-stopping piece communicates the first water inlet channel and the water inlet cavity, ensuring that the water in the first water inlet valve can enter the water inlet cavity through the first communication port, so as to realize hot water supply of the washing machine.

[0019] When the second water inlet valve supplies water to the water inlet cavity, the deformation part is configured to deform toward a side of the second box body under the action of water pressure to close the first communication port, so that the reverse-stopping piece blocks the communication between the first water inlet channel and the water inlet cavity, that is, even if the water pressure in the water inlet cavity is too large, the water cannot leak out through the first water inlet valve, so that the reverse-stopping piece achieves the effect of water sealing while realizing cold water supply of the washing machine.

[0020] In some embodiments, the water distribution piece has a protruding blocking part on a side facing the second box body, the blocking part is located at a position opposite to the reverse-stopping piece to limit the deformation of the deformation part toward the side close to the water distribution piece. In this way, on the basis of ensuring that the deformation part opens the first communication port toward the side close to the water distribution piece, the blocking part can limit the deformation of the deformation part when deforming toward the side of the water distribution piece under the action of large water pressure, and can also limit the opening degree of the first communication port by the reverse-stopping piece, thereby achieving the effect of assisting the reverse-stopping piece to seal the first communication port.

[0021] In some embodiments, the water inlet box further comprises:

[0022] The limiting piece is located in the first water inlet channel and is arranged on a side of the reverse-stopping piece away from the water distribution piece to limit the movement of the deformation part away from the side of the water distribution piece.

[0023] The limiting piece can avoid the deformation of the deformation part under the action of large water pressure when deforming toward the side of the second box body, thereby affecting the sealing effect of the reverse-stopping piece on the first communication port, so as to ensure that the reverse-stopping piece can better block the communication between the first water inlet channel and the water inlet cavity.

[0024] In some embodiments, the limiting piece is in a strip structure, and two ends of the strip structure are connected with the inner wall of the first communication port in the radial direction of the first communication port, so that the limiting piece can be located in the first water inlet channel while avoiding occupying too much space in the first water inlet channel and affecting the flow of water in the first water inlet channel.

[0025] In some embodiments, the water inlet box further comprises:

[0026] The elastic member is arranged between the deformation portion and the water distribution member, and the elastic member is in contact with the deformation portion and the water distribution member.

[0027] With the arrangement of the elastic member, when the active portion is deformed towards the side of the water distribution member, the elastic member is compressed. When the water pressure applied on the active portion disappears (i.e. the water in the first water inlet channel has no pressure on the active portion), the active portion is deformed towards the side of the second box body under the rebound force of the elastic member to close the first communication port. In this way, the active portion can automatically close the first communication port without waiting for the second water inlet valve to supply water to the water inlet cavity, and the water in the water inlet cavity cannot leak out of the first water inlet valve when the water pressure is too low, i.e. the water in the water inlet cavity cannot leak out of the first water inlet valve at all.

[0028] In some embodiments, the reverse-preventing member is a flexible member.

[0029] With the arrangement of the flexible reverse-preventing member, since the flexible member is easy to deform, when the first water inlet valve supplies water to the first water inlet channel, the deformation portion of the reverse-preventing member can be easily pushed open by the water pressure to deform towards the side of the water distribution member to open the first communication port. At the same time, since the flexible member is easy to deform, when the second water inlet valve supplies water to the water inlet cavity, the deformation portion of the reverse-preventing member can be easily pushed towards the side of the second box body by the water pressure to deform and press against the second box body to close and seal the first communication port, thereby better blocking the communication between the first water inlet channel and the water inlet cavity to achieve the reverse-preventing function of the reverse-preventing member to prevent the water in the water inlet box from leaking out of the first water inlet valve when the water pressure is too high, so that the water inlet box has the reverse-preventing function.

[0030] In some embodiments, the projection of the reverse-preventing member on the second box body is larger than the first communication port, so that when the deformation portion of the reverse-preventing member moves towards the side of the second box body, the deformation portion can be connected to the second box body to better close the first communication port, and the deformation portion can press against the second box body.

[0031] In some embodiments, the reverse-preventing member is in a sheet structure, so that the reverse-preventing member can be easily deformed under the water pressure to open or close the first communication port, and the reverse-preventing member can be reasonably arranged in the small space between the second box body and the water distribution member to meet the movement requirement of the deformation portion.

[0032] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide another washing machine, which comprises:

[0033] The washing machine further comprises a water inlet valve assembly. The water inlet valve assembly comprises a first water inlet valve and a second water inlet valve, both of which are installed on the machine body, and the temperature of the water output by the first water inlet valve is higher than the temperature of the water output by the second water inlet valve.

[0034] The washing machine further comprises a water inlet box assembly installed on the machine body. The water inlet box assembly comprises a water inlet box installed on the machine body. The water inlet box comprises a first box body. The water inlet box further comprises a second box body connected with the first box body, the second box body having a first water inlet channel and a second water inlet channel therein, the first water inlet channel being in communication with the first water inlet valve, and the second water inlet channel being in communication with the second water inlet valve. The water inlet box further comprises a water distribution member connected to one side of the second box body facing the first box body, and the water distribution member and the second box body jointly define a water inlet cavity, and a receiving cavity is formed between the water distribution member and the first box body. The water distribution member is configured to distribute water in the water inlet cavity to the receiving cavity, and the water inlet cavity is in communication with the second water inlet channel. The first water inlet channel has a first communication port located on the side of the second box body facing the water distribution member and in communication with the water inlet cavity.

[0035] The water inlet box assembly comprises a storage box movably arranged in the receiving cavity.

[0036] The water inlet box assembly further comprises a check member arranged at a position opposite to the first communication port of the second box body, and the check member is arranged between the water distribution member and the second box body, and the check member is configured to deform under the action of water pressure to open or close the first communication port.

[0037] In the water inlet box assembly of the present application, the check member is arranged at a position opposite to the first communication port of the second box body, and the check member is arranged between the water distribution member and the second box body. Therefore, when the first water inlet valve supplies water through the first water inlet channel, the water pressure will push the check member to deform under the action of water pressure to open the first communication port, so that the first water inlet valve can be in communication with the water inlet cavity through the first water inlet channel. In this way, when the second water inlet valve supplies water to the second water inlet channel and the first water inlet valve is in communication with the water inlet cavity, the first water inlet valve and the second water inlet valve can both supply water to the water inlet cavity, so that the washing machine can realize hot water supply.

[0038] When the first water inlet valve does not supply water through the first water inlet channel, only the second water inlet valve supplies water to the second water inlet channel. In this way, while realizing cold water supply of the washing machine, the check member will deform towards the side of the second box body under the action of water pressure and press the second box body to close the first communication port, so as to block the communication between the first water inlet channel and the water inlet cavity. In this way, even if the water pressure in the water inlet cavity is too large when the second water inlet valve supplies water, the water cannot leak out through the first water inlet valve, so that the water inlet box has a check function to prevent water from leaking out of the first water inlet valve when only the second water inlet valve supplies water to the water inlet cavity and the water pressure in the water inlet box is too large, thereby achieving a water sealing effect.

[0039] Compared with the method of adding an end cover to the end portion of the water inlet valve, the washing machine of the present application can achieve a water sealing effect while ensuring high production efficiency of the washing machine and improving user experience.

[0065] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0066] The embodiments of the present application provide a washing machine. The washing machine can include a pulsator washing machine, a drum washing machine, and the like.

[0067] Figure 1 A structure schematic diagram of a washing machine 100 in different viewing angles is shown. Figure 2 A structure schematic diagram of a washing machine 100 after removing a door body 30 is shown. Figure 1 The washing machine 100 in Figure 2 is a pulsator washing machine. The structure of the washing machine 100 will be further described below in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 and take the pulsator washing machine as an example.

[0068] Referring toFigure 1 and Figure 2 The washing machine 100 can include a body including the cabinet 10. The top of the cabinet 10 has a drop opening 121. The drop opening 121 is used for dropping laundry. The cabinet 10 includes a cabinet body 11 and a surrounding frame 12. The surrounding frame 12 is arranged on the top of the cabinet body 11, and the drop opening 121 is arranged on the surrounding frame 12.

[0069] For the convenience of describing the structure of the washing machine 100, the height direction of the washing machine 100 is denoted as the Z direction, the width direction of the washing machine 100 is denoted as the X direction, and the depth direction of the washing machine 100 is denoted as the Y direction.

[0070] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cabinet 10 has a top and a bottom along the height direction (Z direction) of the washing machine 100. The position of the surrounding frame 12 can be regarded as the top of the cabinet 10. The two sides of the cabinet 10 along the depth direction (Y direction) of the washing machine 100 can be regarded as the front side 101 and the rear side 102 of the cabinet 10. The two sides of the cabinet 10 along the width direction (X direction) of the washing machine 100 can be regarded as the left side and the right side of the cabinet 10.

[0071] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The body further includes a control panel assembly. The control panel assembly can include control devices and a housing 20. The housing 20 can surround a receiving cavity with the surrounding frame 12. At least part of the control devices can be arranged in the receiving cavity. The control devices can include an encoder, a display panel, or a knob.

[0072] As shown in Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the control panel assembly can be arranged in the surrounding frame 12 adjacent to the front side 101 of the cabinet 10.

[0073] Figure 3 Another partial schematic view of a washing machine 100 is shown.

[0074] Referring to Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the control panel assembly can also be located in the surrounding frame 12 adjacent to the rear side 102 of the cabinet 10, and part of the control devices can be arranged in the surrounding frame 12.

[0075] Referring to Figure 1 , in addition to the body, the washing machine 100 further includes a door body 30. The door body 30 is rotatably arranged on the top of the body. For example, the door body 30 can be rotatably connected to the surrounding frame 12, so that when the door body 30 rotates relative to the surrounding frame 12, the drop opening 121 can be opened or closed. When the door body 30 opens the drop opening 121, it is convenient for the user to drop laundry in the drop opening 121. When the door body 30 closes the drop opening 121, it can cover the drop opening 121 to enhance the safety of the washing machine 100 during operation.

[0076] Referring to Figure 3 In addition to the cabinet, the washing machine 100 further comprises a drum assembly 40. The drum assembly 40 is arranged in the cabinet. Specifically, the drum assembly 40 is arranged in the box body 11. The drum assembly 40 has a washing cavity 41. A drum opening of the drum assembly 40 is in communication with the washing cavity 41 and faces the dropping opening 121, so that the laundry dropped through the dropping opening 121 can enter the washing cavity 41 for cleaning.

[0077] The drum assembly 40 comprises an outer drum. The outer drum is arranged in the box body 11, and a drum opening of the outer drum faces the dropping opening 121.

[0078] The drum assembly 40 comprises an inner drum. The inner drum is rotatably arranged in the outer drum, and a drum opening of the inner drum can also face the dropping opening 121. The drum opening of the inner drum is in communication with the washing cavity 41, so that the drum opening of the drum assembly 40 is in communication with the washing cavity 41. The inner drum has the washing cavity 41. The inner drum can rotate relative to the outer drum during the cleaning of the laundry, so as to clean the laundry in the washing cavity 41.

[0079] The inner drum has a plurality of communication holes on a drum wall thereof. The communication holes are used to communicate the washing cavity 41 with an interior of the outer drum, so that the liquid in the washing cavity 41 can flow into the outer drum through the communication holes, so as to be discharged from the outer drum after the cleaning is completed.

[0080] At present, some washing machines 100 have two water inlet valves. One of the two water inlet valves can be in communication with an external cold water source interface for inletting cold water, and the other can be in communication with an external hot water source interface for inletting hot water, so that the washing machine 100 can realize cold and hot water inletting. The water inlet valve can be in communication with the cold water source interface or the hot water source interface through a water pipe. The cold water source interface and the hot water source interface can be understood as external water source interfaces.

[0081] Correspondingly, the washing machine 100 is usually also provided with a water inlet box assembly 60. The water inlet box assembly 60 comprises a water inlet box 61. The water inlet box 61 is mounted to the cabinet. For example, the water inlet box 61 is also provided with water inlet channels at positions corresponding to the two water inlet valves. When the water inlet valves are in communication with the corresponding water inlet channels, the water inlet box 61 can be used to inlet water into the inner drum of the washing machine 100, and also wash the laundry cleaning agent such as detergent and softener into the inner drum. The laundry in the inner drum is cleaned together with the laundry cleaning agent when the inner drum rotates.

[0082] Specifically, in addition to the cabinet, the water inlet box assembly 60 further comprises a storage box 65. The storage box 65 is used to contain the laundry cleaning agent such as detergent and softener. The storage box 65 is arranged in the water inlet box 61. The water in the water inlet box 61 can enter the storage box 65, so as to wash the laundry cleaning agent such as detergent and softener in the storage box 65 into the inner drum.

[0083] Part of the users in using this kind of washing machine (with two water inlet valves), usually make two water inlet valves to water into the washing machine at the same time, to realize the hot water of washing machine, or only the cold water inlet valve with the external water source interface communication. When the user only cold water inlet valve with the external water source interface communication, hot water inlet valve does not water into the washing machine, at this time, the hot water inlet valve will not be connected to the water pipe, or connected to the water pipe but not with the external water source interface communication. Because of the good sealing performance of the water inlet box, and the common valve body used by the water inlet valve, no reverse function, when the water pressure in the water inlet box is too large, the water in the water inlet box will leak out through the hot water inlet valve.

[0084] It should be noted that the A described in the embodiments of the present application has a non-return function, which means that A has the function of preventing water from flowing in the opposite direction. For example, when the water inlet valve has a non-return function, water can only flow from the inlet of the water inlet valve to the outlet of the water inlet valve. When the water inlet valve has no non-return function, water can flow from the inlet of the water inlet valve to the outlet of the water inlet valve, and also from the outlet of the water inlet valve to the inlet of the water inlet valve. If there is a description like "A has a non-return function" below, it can be understood in this way.

[0085] To solve the problem of water leakage in the water inlet box of the washing machine through the hot water inlet valve, in the related art, an additional valve cover is usually added to the water inlet valve to prevent water from leaking out of the water inlet box through another water inlet valve. Since most of the components of the washing machine (such as the water inlet box, the water inlet valve, etc.) are usually produced in other places as incoming materials in the whole machine assembly process, these incoming materials are assembled through the whole machine assembly process to obtain the whole machine.

[0086] However, according to the production process of the existing washing machine, the production of the valve cover and the assembly of the valve cover on the water inlet valve can only be carried out in the whole machine assembly process, which will result in the original whole machine assembly process to additionally increase the production of the valve cover and the assembly of the valve cover on the water inlet valve, which seriously affects the production efficiency of the washing machine. Moreover, the user may not use it or lose the valve cover during use, affecting the user experience.

[0087] Therefore, the washing machine provided by the embodiments of the present application increases the check member in the water inlet box, and the check member can be regarded as a one-way valve. Through the arrangement of the check member, the water inlet box has the check function when the water inlet valve normally supplies water to the water inlet box, so that the water in the water inlet box is prevented from leaking out through the water inlet valve that is not connected with the water source interface when the water pressure in the water inlet box is too high, and the water sealing effect is achieved. In addition, the water inlet box assembly formed by the check member and the water inlet box can be regarded as a material, and the water inlet box assembly is assembled with other materials of the washing machine in the whole machine assembly process to obtain the whole washing machine, which does not affect the original whole machine assembly process and ensures that the production efficiency of the washing machine is not affected. In addition, the check member is located in the water inlet box and is not easy to be lost, and the user does not need to perform additional operations, so that the user experience can be provided.

[0088] The structure of the washing machine will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0089] Figure 4 An enlarged view of the washing machine 100 in the A position in Figure 2 is shown.

[0090] Referring to Figure 4 , the washing machine 100 further includes a water inlet valve assembly 50. The water inlet valve assembly 50 includes two water inlet valves. The two water inlet valves include a first water inlet valve 51 and a second water inlet valve 52. The first water inlet valve 51 and the second water inlet valve 52 are both mounted on the machine body, and the temperature of the water output by the first water inlet valve 51 is higher than the temperature of the water output by the second water inlet valve 52. At this time, the first water inlet valve 51 can be understood as the water inlet valve for supplying hot water, and the second water inlet valve 52 can be understood as the water inlet valve for supplying cold water. When the first water inlet valve 51 and the second water inlet valve 52 are both mounted on the machine body, the first water inlet valve 51 and the second water inlet valve 52 are usually located on the rear side 102 of the cabinet 10.

[0091] Referring to Figure 4 , as an example, when the control assembly is arranged in the surrounding frame 12 adjacent to the front side 101 of the cabinet 10, the first water inlet valve 51 and the second water inlet valve 52 can both be mounted in the surrounding frame 12, or the first water inlet valve 51 and the second water inlet valve 52 can also be mounted between the cabinet 11 and the surrounding frame 12 in a clamping manner or the like.

[0092] Referring to Figure 3 , as another example, when the control assembly is arranged in the surrounding frame 12 adjacent to the rear side 102 of the cabinet 10, the first water inlet valve 51 and the second water inlet valve 52 can also be arranged in the housing 20 of the control assembly and fixed to the housing 20.

[0093] In the present application, the mounting positions and mounting manners of the first water inlet valve 51 and the second water inlet valve 52 on the cabinet 10 are not further limited and can be determined according to the existing washing machine 100.

[0094] The first water inlet valve 51 is configured to communicate with the first water source interface. The second water inlet valve 52 is configured to communicate with the second water source interface. The temperature of the water output by the first water source interface is greater than the temperature of the water output by the second water source interface, so as to ensure that the temperature of the water output by the first water inlet valve 51 is greater than the temperature of the water output by the second water inlet valve 52, so that the washing machine 100 can input cold and hot water. At this time, the first water source interface can be understood as the hot water source interface described above, and the second water source interface can be understood as the cold water source interface described above.

[0095] The water inlet of the first water inlet valve 51 can be communicated with the first water source interface through a water pipe. The water inlet of the second water inlet valve 52 can be communicated with the second water source interface through a water pipe.

[0096] Figure 5 And Figure 6 The structure schematic diagram of the water inlet valve assembly 50 and the water inlet box assembly 60 connected at different viewing angles is shown. Among them, Figure 6 The storage box 65 in Figure 5 is hidden to facilitate understanding of the structure of the water inlet box assembly 60.

[0097] Referring to Figure 4 to Figure 6 , as described above, the water inlet box assembly 60 includes a water inlet box 61 and a storage box 65 arranged in the water inlet box 61. The water inlet box 61 includes a first box body 611 and a second box body 612. The second box body 612 is connected with the first box body 611. At this time, the second box body 612 and the first box body 611 can form a box body.

[0098] Figure 7 The structure schematic diagram of the water inlet box assembly 60 is shown, Figure 5 the cross-sectional view in the B-B direction, Figure 8 The exploded view of the water inlet box assembly 60 is shown. Among them, Figure 7 The structure of the water inlet valve assembly 50 is not shown in

[0099] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the second box body 612 has a first water inlet passage 6121 and a second water inlet passage 6122. As Figure 7 shown, the first water inlet passage 6121 communicates with the first water inlet valve 51, so that the first water inlet passage 6121 communicates with the first water source interface through the first water inlet valve 51, so that the water output by the first water source interface can enter the first water inlet passage 6121 through the first water inlet valve 51. Figure 8 Two second water inlet passages 6122 are shown, which do not constitute a limitation on the number of second water inlet passages 6122. For example, in some embodiments, the number of second water inlet passages 6122 can also be one.

[0100] Correspondingly, the second water inlet channel 6122 is in communication with the second water inlet valve 52, so that the second water inlet channel 6122 is in communication with the second water source interface through the second water inlet valve 52, and water output by the second water source interface can enter the second water inlet channel 6122 through the second water inlet valve 52.

[0101] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the inner wall of the surrounding frame 12 can be provided with a mounting groove near the rear side 102 of the cabinet 10, and the water inlet box 61 can be mounted in the mounting groove, so that the water inlet box 61 can be installed in the cabinet 10 while facilitating the communication between the first water inlet channel 6121 and the first water inlet valve 51 and the communication between the second water inlet channel 6122 and the second water inlet valve 52.

[0102] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The water inlet box 61 further comprises a water distribution member 613. For example, the water distribution member 613 can be a water distribution plate or the like. The water distribution member 613 is connected to the side of the second box body 612 facing the first box body 611, and the water distribution member 613 and the second box body 612 jointly define a water inlet cavity 615, and the water distribution member 613 and the first box body 611 form a receiving cavity 614. The storage box 65 can be movably arranged in the receiving cavity 614 to achieve the arrangement of the storage box 65 in the water inlet box 61. For example, the storage box 65 can be in sliding connection with the water inlet box 61 to achieve the arrangement of the storage box 65 in the receiving cavity 614, and at the same time, when at least part of the storage box 65 slides out of the receiving cavity 614, it can facilitate the user to add detergent, softener or the like into the storage box 65.

[0103] Specifically, the water distribution member 613 can be connected to the side of the second box body 612 facing the first box body 611 by clamping, fasteners or the like. For example, the fasteners can include screws, bolts or the like. In the thickness direction of the water inlet box 61, there is a gap between the water distribution member 613 and the second box body 612, and between the water distribution member 613 and the first box body 611, so that the water distribution member 613 can jointly define a water inlet cavity 615 with the second box body 612, and the water distribution member 613 can form a receiving cavity 614 with the first box body 611. The thickness direction of the water inlet box 61 can refer to the W direction. When the water inlet box 61 is installed on the cabinet 10, the thickness direction of the water inlet box 61 can be parallel to the height direction (Z direction) of the washing machine 100.

[0104] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8The water distribution member 613 is configured to distribute the water in the water inlet cavity 615 to the accommodation cavity 614. The second water inlet channel 6122 is in communication with the water inlet cavity 615. For example, the water distribution member 613 can be provided with a plurality of water distribution holes 6131. The water in the water inlet cavity 615 can be distributed to the accommodation cavity 614 through the water distribution member 613 via the plurality of water distribution holes 6131.

[0105] Referring to Figure 7 The water inlet box assembly 60 further comprises a check member 62, which is arranged between the water distribution member 613 and the second box body 612.

[0106] As shown in Figure 7 When the first water inlet valve 51 is in water inlet to the first water inlet channel 6121 and the second water inlet valve 52 is in water inlet to the second water inlet channel 6122, the check member 62 is configured to communicate the first water inlet channel 6121 and the water inlet cavity 615, so that the first water inlet valve 51 is in communication with the water inlet cavity 615 via the first water inlet channel 6121. Since the second water inlet valve 52 is in communication with the second water inlet channel 6122, and the second water inlet channel 6122 is in communication with the water inlet cavity 615, the second water inlet valve 52 is in communication with the water inlet cavity 615 via the second water inlet channel 6122. At this time, the first water inlet valve 51 and the second water inlet valve 52 can both inlet water to the water inlet cavity 615, thereby increasing the temperature of the water in the accommodation cavity 614, so that the water in the accommodation cavity 614 becomes warm water, so that the washing machine 100 can realize hot water inlet.

[0107] When the second water inlet valve 52 is in water inlet to the second water inlet channel 6122 and the first water inlet valve 51 is not in water inlet to the first water inlet channel 6121, the check member 62 is configured to block the water inlet cavity 615 from being in communication with the first water inlet channel 6121, so that the water inlet cavity 615 cannot be in communication with the first water inlet channel 6121. In this way, only the second water inlet valve 52 can inlet water to the water inlet cavity 615 via the second water inlet channel 6122, so that water with a lower temperature (cold water) enters the accommodation cavity 614, so that the washing machine 100 can realize cold water inlet.

[0108] It should be noted that the first water inlet valve 51 not in water inlet to the first water inlet channel 6121 can include that the first water inlet channel 6121 is not connected to the first water inlet valve 51, or the first water inlet valve 51 is not connected to the first water source interface, etc.

[0109] In addition, due to the blocking of the check member 62, the water inlet cavity 615 cannot be in communication with the first water inlet channel 6121, and the water in the water inlet cavity 615 cannot leak out of the first water inlet valve 51 when the water pressure is too large.

[0110] Therefore, the application can prevent the water from leaking from the first water inlet valve 51 when the second water inlet valve 52 alone supplies water to the water inlet cavity 615 and the water pressure in the water inlet cavity 615 is too high, and achieve the water sealing effect.

[0111] Since the user usually selects the first water inlet valve 51 and the second water inlet valve 52 to supply water to the water inlet cavity 615 at the same time to achieve hot water supply of the washing machine 100 or selects the second water inlet valve 52 to supply water to the water inlet cavity 615 alone to achieve cold water supply of the washing machine 100, the setting of the check member 62 in the water inlet box 61 can meet the user's conventional selection and prevent the water from leaking from the first water inlet valve 51 when the second water inlet valve 52 alone supplies water to the water inlet cavity 615 and the water pressure in the water inlet cavity 615 is too high.

[0112] When the storage box 65 is arranged in the accommodation cavity 614, the water entering the accommodation cavity 614 can enter the storage box 65, so that the laundry cleaning agent such as detergent or softener can be flushed into the inner drum at the same time when the water inlet box 61 supplies water to the inner drum of the washing machine 100, thereby cleaning the laundry in the inner drum together with the laundry cleaning agent when the inner drum rotates.

[0113] In addition, the water inlet box assembly 60 is a material that is assembled with other materials of the washing machine 100 in the whole machine assembly process to obtain the whole washing machine 100. Compared with the method of adding an end cover to the end of the water inlet valve, the application can achieve the water sealing effect by adding the check member 62 without affecting the original whole machine assembly process, that is, no additional components or processes are needed in the original whole machine assembly process, and the production efficiency of the washing machine 100 can be ensured.

[0114] In addition, compared with the method of adding an end cover to the end of the water inlet valve, the check member 62 is arranged in the water inlet box 61 and is not easy to be lost, and the user does not need to perform additional operations, which can facilitate the user to use and improve the user experience.

[0115] Figure 9 a structure schematic view of a second box body 612 is shown, Figure 10 a schematic view of the assembly of the check member 62 on the second box body 612 is shown.

[0116] Referring to Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10In some embodiments, the first water inlet channel 6121 has a first communication port 6123 located on the side of the second box body 612 facing the water distribution member 613 and in communication with the water inlet cavity 615. The check member 62 is arranged at a position opposite the first communication port 6123 of the second box body 612 and connected to the second box body 612 to open or close the first communication port 6123, so that the check member 62 communicates or blocks the first water inlet channel 6121 and the water inlet cavity 615.

[0117] When the first water inlet channel 6121 is in communication with the first water source interface through the first water inlet valve 51 and the second water inlet channel 6122 is in communication with the second water source interface through the second water inlet valve 52, the check member 62 opens the first communication port 6123 to communicate the first water inlet channel 6121 and the water inlet cavity 615, so that the first water source interface is in communication with the water inlet cavity 615 through the first water inlet valve 51 and the first water inlet channel 6121, to simultaneously introduce water into the containing cavity 614 through the first water source interface and the second water source interface, to achieve hot water filling of the washing machine 100.

[0118] When the second water inlet channel 6122 is in communication with the second water source interface through the second water inlet valve 52 and the first water inlet channel 6121 is not in communication with the first water source interface through the first water inlet valve 51, the check member 62 closes the first communication port 6123 to block the communication between the first water inlet channel 6121 and the water inlet cavity 615, so that even if the water pressure in the water inlet cavity 615 through the second water source interface and the second water inlet channel 6122 is too large, it cannot leak out through the first water inlet valve 51, so that the check member 62 achieves the water sealing effect while the washing machine 100 can achieve cold water filling.

[0119] Referring to Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the check member 62 is arranged at a position opposite the first communication port 6123 of the second box body 612, and the check member 62 is arranged between the water distribution member 613 and the second box body 612 and is configured to deform under the action of water pressure to open or close the first communication port 6123.

[0120] Since the check member 62 is arranged at the position opposite to the first communication port 6123 of the second box body 612, and the check member 62 is arranged between the water distributing member 613 and the second box body 612, when the first water inlet valve 51 is filled with water through the first water inlet channel 6121, the water pressure will push the check member 62 to deform under the action of the water pressure, so as to open the first communication port 6123, and the first water inlet valve 51 can be communicated with the water inlet cavity 615 through the first water inlet channel 6121. In this way, when the second water inlet valve 52 is filled with water through the second water inlet channel 6122, and the first water inlet valve 51 is communicated with the water inlet cavity 615, the first water inlet valve 51 and the second water inlet valve 52 can both fill the water inlet cavity 615 with water, so that the washing machine 100 can realize hot water filling.

[0121] When the first water inlet valve 51 is not filled with water through the first water inlet channel 6121, and only the second water inlet valve 52 is filled with water through the second water inlet channel 6122, in this way, while realizing cold water filling of the washing machine 100, the check member 62 will deform towards one side of the second box body 612 under the action of the water pressure, and press the second box body 612 to close the first communication port 6123, so as to block the communication between the first water inlet channel 6121 and the water inlet cavity 615. In this way, even if the water pressure in the water inlet cavity 615 is too large when the second water inlet valve 52 enters the water inlet cavity 615, the water cannot leak out through the first water inlet valve 51, so that the water inlet box 61 has a check function, so as to prevent water from leaking out of the first water inlet valve 51 when only the second water inlet valve 52 fills the water inlet cavity 615 with water and the water pressure in the water inlet box 61 is too large, so as to achieve the effect of water sealing.

[0122] Referring to Figure 7 The check member 62 has a fixed part 621 and a deformed part 622. The fixed part 621 is connected with the second box body 612, so that the check member 62 is installed between the second box body 612 and the water distributing member 613 by means of the second box body 612. Specifically, the fixed part 621 can be connected with the second box body 612 by means of adhesion, clamping or fasteners.

[0123] It should be understood that the fixed part 621 refers to the part of the check member 62 connected with the second box body 612, and the deformed part 622 refers to the part of the check member 62 not connected with the second box body 612 and capable of deforming under the action of external force (such as water pressure), so that it can be determined which is the fixed part 621 and which is the deformed part 622 according to whether the part of the check member 62 is connected with the second box body 612 or not, and the specific division of the fixed part 621 and the deformed part 622 in the check member 62 will not be further described herein.

[0124] When the first water inlet valve 51 is in water inlet to the first water inlet channel 6121, the deformation part 622 is configured to deform under the action of water pressure towards the side of the water distribution piece 613 to open the first communication port 6123, so that the check member 62 communicates the first water inlet channel 6121 and the water inlet cavity 615, ensuring that the water in the first water inlet valve 51 can enter the water inlet cavity 615 through the first communication port 6123, so as to realize the hot water inlet of the washing machine 100.

[0125] When the second water inlet valve 52 is in water inlet to the water inlet cavity 615, the deformation part 622 is configured to deform under the action of water pressure towards the side of the second box body 612 to close the first communication port 6123, so that the check member 62 blocks the communication between the first water inlet channel 6121 and the water inlet cavity 615, that is, even if the water pressure in the water inlet cavity 615 is too large, the water cannot leak out through the first water inlet valve 51, so that the check member 62 achieves the water sealing effect, and the cold water inlet of the washing machine 100 can be realized.

[0126] The check member 62 is a flexible member. For example, the flexible member can be a rubber member or the like.

[0127] By arranging the check member 62 as a flexible member, since the flexible member has the characteristic of being easy to deform, when the first water inlet valve 51 is in water inlet to the first water inlet channel 6121, the deformation part 622 of the check member 62 can be more easily opened by water pressure, so that the deformation part 622 deforms towards the side of the water distribution piece 613 to open the first communication port 6123. At the same time, since the flexible member has the characteristic of being easy to deform, when the second water inlet valve 52 is in water inlet to the water inlet cavity 615, the deformation part 622 of the check member 62 can be more easily deformed towards the side of the second box body 612 under the action of water pressure and pressed against the second box body 612 to close and seal the first communication port 6123, so as to better block the communication between the first water inlet channel 6121 and the water inlet cavity 615, realize the check function of the check member 62, and prevent water from leaking out of the first water inlet valve 51 when the water pressure in the water inlet box 61 is too large, so that the water inlet box 61 has the check function.

[0128] Referring to Figure 7 In some embodiments, when the check member 62 is a flexible member, the water distribution piece 613 further has a protruding blocking part 6132 on the side facing the second box body 612. The blocking part 6132 is located opposite the check member 62 on the water distribution piece 613 to limit the deformation of the deformation part 622 towards the side of the water distribution piece 613. In this way, on the basis of ensuring that the deformation part 622 opens the first communication port 6123 towards the side close to the water distribution piece 613, the blocking part 6132 can limit the deformation of the deformation part 622 when it is deformed by a large water pressure towards the side of the water distribution piece 613, and can also limit the opening degree of the first communication port 6123 by the check member 62, achieving the effect of assisting the check member 62 to seal the first communication port 6123.

[0129] Due to the restriction of the blocking part 6132 to the deformation of the deformation part 622, the opening degree of the first communication port 6123 by the deformation part 622 is limited, so that the water in the first communication port 6123 will be sprayed radially and enter the water inlet cavity 615. For example, the radial shape can include but is not limited to a waterfall shape.

[0130] It should be noted that the above is only a structural definition of the check member 62. In some embodiments, the check member 62 can also be a blocking member that can move relative to the first communication port 6123. When the first water inlet channel 6121 is in communication with the first water source interface through the first water inlet valve 51, and the second water inlet channel 6122 is in communication with the second water source interface through the second water inlet valve 52, the blocking member moves to the outside of the first communication port 6123 to communicate the first water inlet channel 6121 and the water inlet cavity 615, so as to achieve hot water inlet of the washing machine 100. When the second water inlet channel 6122 is in communication with the second water source interface through the second water inlet valve 52, and the first water inlet channel 6121 is not in communication with the first water source interface through the first water inlet valve 51, the blocking member moves into the first communication port 6123, which can block the first communication port 6123, thereby closing the first communication port 6123 and achieving the purpose of blocking the communication between the first water inlet channel 6121 and the water inlet cavity 615. In this way, the blocking member can also achieve the effect of water sealing while ensuring that the washing machine 100 realizes cold water inlet.

[0131] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, when the check member 62 is a flexible member, the water inlet box 61 can further include a limiting member 63. The limiting member 63 is located in the first water inlet channel 6121, and the limiting member 63 is arranged on the side of the check member 62 away from the water distribution member 613 to limit the deformation of the deformation part 622 towards the side of the second box body 612. In this way, the limiting member 63 can avoid the deformation of the deformation part 622 when deformed towards the side of the second box body 612, which affects the sealing effect of the check member 62 on the first communication port 6123, thereby ensuring that the check member 62 can better block the communication between the first water inlet channel 6121 and the water inlet cavity 615.

[0132] In some embodiments, the limiting member 63 can be a strip-shaped structure, and the two ends of the strip-shaped structure are connected with the inner wall of the first communication port 6123 along the radial direction of the first communication port 6123, so that the limiting member 63 can be located in the first water inlet channel 6121 while avoiding occupying too much space in the first water inlet channel 6121, which affects the flow of water in the first water inlet channel 6121.

[0133] In some embodiments, the limiting member 63 can be integrated with the second box body 612, so that the two ends of the strip-shaped structure are integrally connected with the inner wall of the first communication port 6123. At this time, the integrated limiting member 63 and the second box body 612 can be obtained by injection molding or mechanical processing.

[0134] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the limiting member 63 can also be two separate components with the second box body 612, and the limiting member 63 can be connected with the inner wall of the first communication port 6123 by bonding, clamping or the like.

[0135] Referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the projection of the check member 62 on the second box body 612 is greater than the first communication port 6123, so that when the deformed portion 622 of the check member 62 moves towards the second box body 612, it can be connected with the second box body 612, thereby better closing the first communication port 6123, and at the same time, the deformed portion 622 can be pressed against the second box body 612.

[0136] Referring to Figure 10 , since the space between the second box body 612 and the water distribution member 613 is small, in some embodiments, the check member 62 can be a sheet-shaped structure, so that the check member 62 can be deformed under the action of water pressure to open or close the first communication port 6123, and at the same time, the small space between the second box body 612 and the water distribution member 613 can be reasonably utilized to set the check member 62, and the movement demand of the deformed portion 622 can be met.

[0137] Figure 11 shows Figure 5 another cross-sectional view in the C-C direction.

[0138] Referring to Figure 11 , in some embodiments, the water inlet box 61 can further include an elastic member 64. For example, the elastic member 64 can be a spring or other elastic structure. The elastic member 64 is arranged between the deformed portion 622 and the water distribution member 613, and the elastic member 64 abuts against the deformed portion 622 and the water distribution member 613. Through the arrangement of the elastic member 64, when the movable portion deforms towards the side of the water distribution member 613, the elastic member 64 will be compressed. When the water pressure applied to the movable portion disappears (i.e. the water in the first water inlet channel 6121 has no pressure on the movable portion), the movable portion will deform towards the side of the second box body 612 under the rebounding force of the elastic member 64 to close the first communication port 6123. In this way, the movable portion can automatically close the first communication port 6123 without waiting for the second water inlet valve 52 to supply water to the water inlet cavity 615, and when the water pressure in the water inlet cavity 615 is too small, the water cannot leak out from the first water inlet valve 51, that is, the water in the water inlet cavity 615 can be completely prevented from leaking out from the first water inlet valve 51.

[0139] In some embodiments, the elastic member 64 can be arranged between the deformation portion 622 and the water distribution member 613 by clamping, bonding or the like, so that the elastic member 64 abuts against both the deformation portion 622 and the water distribution member 613.
