Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of the washing machine that can wash tableware and / or fruits and vegetables, and particularly relates to a residue basket for a washing machine and the washing machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The washing machine is a device that sprays cold water or hot water on dishes to be washed to remove dirt adhered thereto. A general washing machine mainly includes a body having a washing chamber, a panel, a water pump for spraying washing water, a rotating spray arm, a residue basket assembly, a drainage assembly, and a heater for generating hot water. The existing washing machine circulates and filters the washing water by covering the filter plate on the tank body during operation. The filter plate is provided with a mounting hole for mounting the residue basket assembly. The residue and the like washed from the objects to be washed are collected in the residue basket assembly.

[0003] For example, a Chinese invention patent application (application number CN202110467971.7, publication number CN113397451A) discloses a residue basket assembly and a washing machine using the same. The residue basket assembly includes a residue basket having an open top, a side lower portion surrounded by a filter screen, an inner cavity of the residue basket being a residue collecting cavity, a water outlet being formed in a side upper portion of the residue basket, a funnel-shaped anti-overflow plate being arranged at the open top of the residue basket, a top edge of the anti-overflow plate being connected with an edge of the open top, and the anti-overflow plate extending downward so that a lower end of the anti-overflow plate is arranged at a position not higher than a lower edge of the water outlet.

[0004] However, if the residue basket has a large volume or the residue is difficult to flush out, the tangential flow stripping capacity of the water flow is not sufficient, and the residue will be blocked in the residue basket, affecting the filtration and residue discharge of the residue basket. Therefore, the residue basket needs to be taken out and cleaned after every few washing cycles, which is very inconvenient for users. SUMMARY

[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a residue basket for a washing machine that can be applied to different washing scenarios.

[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a washing machine using the above-mentioned residue basket.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above-mentioned first technical problem is as follows.

[0008] The basket body has a flow channel extending vertically through the bottom thereof, and the upper portion of the basket body is provided with a water inlet connected with the flow channel.

[0009] The residue basket further includes

[0010] A slag separating plate is arranged transversely in the flow channel, and the slag separating plate separates the flow channel into an upper region above the slag separating plate and a lower region below the slag separating plate, the upper region is arranged corresponding to the water inlet, the slag separating plate is provided with a filter hole penetrating the wall thickness and a through hole, the diameter of the through hole is larger than that of the filter hole;

[0011] A blocking piece is detachably inserted into the through hole.

[0012] Preferably, the blocking piece is provided with a first positioning piece, and the lower region is provided with a second positioning piece, and the first positioning piece and the second positioning piece are detachably connected in the state that the blocking piece is inserted into the through hole. In this way, the positioning of the blocking piece can be realized by the connection of the second positioning piece and the first positioning piece in the state that the blocking piece is inserted into the through hole; if it is necessary to detach the blocking piece, the first positioning piece and the second positioning piece can be detached, and the detachment of the blocking piece will not be affected.

[0013] The first positioning piece and the second positioning piece can have various detachable connection modes, such as magnetic attraction mode, or the first positioning piece is provided with a positioning hole, and the second positioning piece includes a positioning part which is detachably buckled in the positioning hole.

[0014] In order to realize the detachment or assembly of the positioning hole and the positioning part, a fixing seat is fixedly arranged in the lower region, the fixing seat has a top-open accommodating groove, the second positioning piece includes a base movably arranged in the accommodating groove and two clamping arms oppositely arranged on the base, the lower ends of the two clamping arms are mounted on the base, and the upper ends of the two clamping arms can move towards or away from each other.

[0015] The base can move to a first position and a second position, in the state that the base is in the first position, the clamping arms are located outside the accommodating groove, and the two clamping arms keep a trend of moving away from each other; in the state that the base is in the second position, the clamping arms are at least partially located in the accommodating groove, and the clamping arms abut against the inner wall surface of the accommodating groove to keep close to each other, in this state, the upper ends of the clamping arms can be buckled in the positioning hole, and the upper ends of the clamping arms are the positioning parts. When the base is in the first position, the part of the first positioning piece with the positioning hole can enter or exit between the two clamping arms; when the base is in the second position, the two clamping arms are clamped and the upper ends are buckled in the positioning hole, and the first positioning piece and the second positioning piece are assembled.

[0016] The elastic member can act on the clamping arms to keep the clamping arms moving away from each other, but it is necessary to set the elastic member, therefore, in order to make the clamping arms move away from each other, the lower ends of the clamping arms are flexible parts.

[0017] In order to facilitate the first positioning member to enter between the two clamping arms, the upper end surface of each clamping arm is a slope surface which is inclined towards the other clamping arm from top to bottom, and the slope surface plays a guiding role. When the first positioning member comes into contact with the slope surface, the clamping arm will move away from the first positioning member with the downward movement of the first positioning member.

[0018] The base can be driven to move up and down by a driving mechanism such as a motor, but this involves more components and is high in cost. Therefore, the first positioning member is in a columnar shape and can move up and down relative to the blocking member. The base is located on the path of the downward movement of the first positioning member, and the base has a tendency to move upward under the action of the first elastic member. In this way, when the first positioning member moves downward, the base will move upward. When the first positioning member moves upward, the base will have a tendency to move upward to the first position under the action of the first elastic member.

[0019] The first positioning member can be driven to move up and down by a driving mechanism such as a motor, but this involves more components and is high in cost. Preferably, the top of the blocking member is provided with an opening for the top of the first positioning member to protrude, so that the user can press the first positioning member. The first positioning member has a tendency to move upward under the action of the second elastic member. The first positioning member can be moved downward by the user pressing it. When the pressing on the first positioning member is released, the first positioning member will move upward under the action of the second elastic member.

[0020] In order to limit the stroke of the upward movement of the first positioning member and prevent the first positioning member from being separated from the slag separation plate, a limiting portion is arranged on the peripheral wall of the first positioning member and can come into contact with the lower wall surface of the blocking member located at the peripheral edge of the opening.

[0021] Preferably, the base and the fixing seat are provided with a positioning structure which can position the base when the base moves to the first position or the second position.

[0022] The positioning structure can be a screw to position the base, but this is troublesome for positioning and disassembling the base. Preferably, the positioning structure comprises a first positioning groove, a second positioning groove and a positioning rod.

[0023] The inner peripheral wall of the fixing seat is provided with a first positioning groove and a second positioning groove. The first positioning groove is located obliquely above the second positioning groove, and the two are connected by a channel.

[0024] The upper end of the positioning rod is rotatably installed on the base, and the positioning rod is fixed in the vertical direction relative to the base, and the lower end of the positioning rod is provided with a positioning block, the positioning block can be moved into the first positioning groove or the second positioning groove along the channel, and the positioning block can be moved downward to be out of the first positioning groove.

[0025] In order to increase the water inlet area of the basket, in the above scheme, the peripheral wall of the lower area is provided with a hollow hole, which can also be used for water inlet, and a filter screen is arranged in the hollow hole to filter the residues.

[0026] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model to solve the second technical problem is: a cleaning machine applying the above-mentioned residue basket, comprising a box body, the bottom of the box body has a concave dewatering area, the top of the dewatering area is covered with a dewatering plate, an installation opening is formed in the dewatering plate, and the residue basket is arranged on the installation opening, characterized in that: the upper area is located above the dewatering plate, and the lower area is located below the dewatering plate.
