[0087] Exemplary embodiments according to this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and therefore their description will be omitted.

[0088] Most small washing machines on the market currently use a single washing tub design. This means that when washing different types of clothes, the tub needs to be manually cleaned and disinfected before the next wash cycle. While this can avoid some degree of cross-contamination, it essentially still uses the same washing space, making it difficult to completely eliminate the risk of cross-infection.

[0089] A few small washing machines use a twin-tub design to solve the problem of washing different types of clothes separately. However, this design usually means that each washing tub (including the tub itself, top cover, and bottom impeller) needs to be a separate and complete unit, which not only increases manufacturing costs, but also makes it difficult to store the two complete tubs effectively after use, resulting in a large footprint, which is a significant problem for those with limited space.

[0090] Even with some small washing machines equipped with dual tubs, the storage problem between the tubs and between the tubs and the base after use remains unresolved. The tubs typically have to be placed separately, making compact storage impossible. This not only wastes space but can also negatively impact the tidiness of the home environment.

[0091] After the washing process is complete, direct contact with wet clothes or fabrics can be inconvenient, especially in washing machines without a draining function. Manually changing the wastewater after transferring clothes to a washboard or using another container after washing not only adds to the complexity of the washing process.

[0092] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a retractable washing machine to solve the problem that existing twin-tub small washing machines do not have a draining function.

[0093] Combination Figure 1 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a retractable washing machine is provided, including: a base 3, a first washing tub 2, a second washing tub 4, and a water filter assembly 5. The base 3 is equipped with a drive module, and the first washing tub 2 is detachably connected to the base 3. The first washing tub 2 has a first washing chamber 221 for loading clothes. Figure 2 and 3As shown, the first washing tub 2 has a first working position connected to the base 3, and a first detachable position separated from the base 3. The second washing tub 4 is detachably connected to the base 3, and the second washing tub 4 has a second washing chamber 411 for loading clothes, as shown. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second washing tub 4 has a second working position connected to the base 3, and a second detachable position separated from the base 3. The second washing tub 4 also has a storage position, such as... Figure 6 As shown, when the second washing tub 4 is in the storage position, at least a portion of the second washing tub 4 is located within the first washing chamber 221; the water filter assembly 5 has an unlocked position and a locked position. When the water filter assembly 5 is in the locked position, it can selectively cooperate with at least one of the second tub body 41 and the first tub body 22. By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, using the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 with different washing chamber sizes, after use, the second washing tub 4 can be placed inside the first washing tub 2 for storage, saving space and solving the problem of existing twin-tub small washing machines lacking a draining function.

[0094] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the first washing tub 2 includes a first tub body 22 and a first pulsator assembly 23. The first tub body 22 has a first washing chamber 221. The first pulsator assembly 23 is installed inside the first washing chamber 221 and is detachably connected to the drive module. By using a detachable connection between the first pulsator assembly 23 and the drive module, the most suitable pulsator assembly can be selected according to different types of fabrics or clothing. For example, a gentler washing mode may be needed for thinner clothes, while a stronger agitation effect may be needed for thicker clothes. This design allows for adaptation to various washing needs, providing a more personalized washing solution. The detachable first pulsator assembly 23 makes it easy to remove the pulsator for cleaning or replacement, avoiding the accumulation of dirt and bacteria inside the pulsator, extending the service life of the washing machine, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0095] Furthermore, the first washing tub 2 also includes a handle 21, with both ends of the handle 21 being movably connected to the sides of the first tub body 22. The movably connected handle 21 design allows the first washing tub 2 to be lifted at a natural and comfortable angle when the second washing tub 4 is in a second detached position separated from the base 3. Whether moving horizontally or lifting vertically, it provides a more stable grip, reducing the risk of slipping or dropping during operation and improving safety and convenience during use.

[0096] like Figure 8As shown, the base 3 includes a base body 33, a knob 38 is installed on one side of the base body 33, a crystal sticker 37 is affixed to the knob 38, a lower base 36 is installed at the bottom of the base body 33, and a drive module is installed on the base body 33. The specific connection relationship between the drive module and the first impeller assembly 23 is as follows. Figure 9 As shown, the drive module includes a pulsator fixing bolt 34. A first drive shaft 31 is mounted on the bottom of the first barrel 22. The pulsator fixing bolt 34 and the first pulsator assembly 23 are mutually constrained and pass through the first drive shaft 31 to be threaded to one end of a second rotating shaft 35. The other end of the second rotating shaft 35 is provided with a spline groove. One end of a third rotating shaft 32 is provided with a spline portion and is connected to the spline groove at the other end of the second rotating shaft 35. The other end of the third rotating shaft 32 is connected to a drive assembly installed inside the base body 33. Thus, the drive assembly can drive the first pulsator assembly 23 to rotate through the rotation of the third rotating shaft 32, the second rotating shaft 35, and the pulsator fixing bolt 34.

[0097] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the second washing tub 4 includes: a second tub body 41 and a second impeller assembly 42. The second tub body 41 has a second cleaning chamber 411. The second impeller assembly 42 is installed in the second cleaning chamber 411. The second impeller assembly 42 can be detachably connected to the drive module. The connection method between the second impeller assembly 42 and the drive module is the same as the connection method between the drive module and the first impeller assembly 23, so it will not be described again.

[0098] In this embodiment, the second impeller assembly 42 can be detachably connected to the drive module. Similarly, the most suitable impeller assembly can be selected according to different types of fabrics or clothing, enabling adaptation to various washing needs and providing a more personalized washing solution. The detachable second impeller assembly 42 allows for easy removal of the impeller for cleaning or replacement, preventing the accumulation of dirt and bacteria inside the impeller, extending the washing machine's lifespan, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0099] like Figure 11As shown, the water filtration assembly 5 includes a water filter ring 51 and a water filter plate 52. The water filter ring 51 has a water filtration space and is provided with a locking structure that cooperates with at least one of the second tub 41 and the first tub 22. The water filter plate 52 is installed in the water filtration space and is connected to the water filter ring 51. In this embodiment, the water filter ring 51 is designed with a water filtration space, and the water filter plate 52 installed inside it can effectively intercept clothes in the washing tub. The locking structure installed on the water filter ring 51 allows the water filtration assembly to be firmly fixed to the second tub 41 or the first tub 22, preventing the water filtration assembly from shifting or loosening due to the vibration of the second impeller assembly 42 or the first impeller assembly 23 during operation. It also avoids the water filter plate 52 from falling off or being damaged during use, and prevents the second tub 41 from shaking inside the first tub 22 when stored.

[0100] like Figure 12 As shown, the locking structure includes: a first protruding component 512, of which there are multiple first protruding components 512, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the side wall of the filter ring 51. A first slot component 222 is provided inside the first tank 22 to cooperate with the multiple first protruding components 512. The filter ring 51 is movable relative to the first slot component 222 of the first tank 22 via the multiple first protruding components 512, allowing the filter ring 51 to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. Using this embodiment, the first protruding component 512 can be aligned or misaligned with the first slot component 222 through simple operation, thereby achieving rapid locking or unlocking of the filter assembly. This design avoids the complex steps or the need for special tools that may exist in traditional locking mechanisms, greatly improving the ease of operation. When the first impeller assembly 23 rotates, the filter ring 51 is securely locked inside the first tank 22 through the cooperation of the first protruding component 512 and the first slot component 222. This locking mechanism ensures that the filter components do not shift or fall off during the cleaning process.

[0101] Furthermore, the locking structure also includes: multiple second protruding components 513, which are arranged at a distance relative to multiple first protruding components 512 along the radial direction of the filter ring 51. A second slot component 412 is provided inside the second tub 41 to cooperate with the multiple second protruding components 513. The filter ring 51 is movably arranged relative to the second slot component 412 of the second tub 41 via the multiple second protruding components 513, allowing the filter ring 51 to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the second washing tub 4 is in the storage position, the filter ring 51 can simultaneously cooperate with both the first tub 22 and the second tub 41. The locking structure is further optimized; through the cooperation of the second protruding components 513 and the second slot component 412, stable locking of the filter assembly in the second washing tub 4 is achieved.

[0102] In this embodiment, when the second washing tub 4 is in the storage position, the filter ring 51 can simultaneously cooperate with the first tub body 22 and the second tub body 41. In the storage state, a stable connection between the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 is ensured, maintaining the spatial stability of the two washing tubs in the storage state.

[0103] Further, the filter ring 51 includes: an inner ring 514, a first connecting section 515, a first annular body 516, and an outer ring component. A portion of the inner ring 514's inner surface is connected to the filter plate 52; the first connecting section 515 has its first end connected to the inner ring 514, and its second end is radially away from the inner ring 514. The first annular body 516 has its first end connected to the second end of the first connecting section 515, and is positioned opposite to the inner ring 514. A second protruding member 513 is installed between the first annular body 516 and the inner ring 514, and is connected to the inner ring 514. The end of the second protruding member 513 is positioned at a distance from the first annular body 516, and a portion of the second protruding member 513 forms a first limiting structure with the outer surface of the inner ring 514. The outer ring component is connected to the first annular body 516, and the first protruding component 512 is connected to the outer ring component. A second limiting structure is formed between a portion of the first protruding component 512 and the outer ring component. This design, through the sequential connection of the inner ring 514, the first connecting segment 515, and the first annular body 516, forms a multi-layered and interconnected structure. This multi-layered connection allows the filter ring 51 to better maintain its structural integrity when facing the impact of internal water flow and vibration during machine operation, reducing the possibility of component loosening or deformation.

[0104] To further enhance the stability of the multi-layer connection, the outer ring component includes: a second connecting segment 517 and a second annular body 518. The first end of the second connecting segment 517 is connected to the second end of the first annular body 516, and the second end of the second connecting segment 517 is radially away from the first annular body 516. The first end of the second annular body 518 is connected to the second end of the second connecting segment 517, and the second annular body 518 is positioned opposite to the first annular body 516. A first protruding member 512 is connected to the outer surface of the second annular body 518, and a portion of the first protruding member 512 forms a second limiting structure with the outer surface of the second annular body 518, thereby improving the stability of the entire filter ring 51.

[0105] In one exemplary embodiment, the filter ring 51 is rotated circumferentially by a preset angle along the first washing tub 2 or the second washing tub 4 to position the locking structure in a locked or unlocked position. This configuration, which allows the locking structure of the filter ring 51 to rotate by a preset angle along a first preset direction, ensures that the disassembly and assembly of the filter assembly is simple and efficient, and also simplifies the operation process.

[0106] To further prevent the filter rings from loosening or detaching due to accidental vibration or improper operation, such as... Figure 13 As shown, the preset angle is A, where 12.5° ≤ A ≤ 77.4°. The preset angle A can be 12.5°, 77.4°, or 50°. Through precise preset angle rotation and cooperation with the locking structure, a stable locking state is formed, maintaining a tight connection between the components.

[0107] like Figure 14 As shown, the filter plate 52 extends circumferentially along the filter ring 51, and the filter plate 52 is provided with filter holes 521 communicating with the second washing tub 4. This design provides an effective filtration area within a limited space, and the circumferential extension of the filter plate 52 along the filter ring 51 improves the overall stability and structural strength of the filtration assembly.

[0108] When using, such as Figures 15-18 As shown, after the first washing tub 2 is used, lift the handle 21, and the water filter assembly 5 separates from the first washing tub 2 and the base 3. At this time, the water filter assembly 5 is locked to the first washing tub 2, hooking the inner side of the water filter ring 51, and draining water through the water filter holes 521 on the water filter plate 52. After the second washing tub 4 is used, lift the second washing tub 4 with both hands, and the water filter assembly 5 separates from the second washing tub 4 and the base 3, directly hooking the inner side of the water filter ring 51, and lifting the second washing tub 4 to drain water through the water filter holes 521 on the water filter plate 52.

[0109] To further facilitate lifting the second washing tub 4 for draining, a grip portion 519 is provided on the outer wall of the filter ring 51, protruding outward along the radial direction of the filter ring 51. The design of the grip portion 519 allows for a more natural and effortless application of force when lifting it for draining. Furthermore, compared to other handles, it does not affect the overall size design of the washing machine, nor does it occupy additional external operating space.

[0110] Furthermore, the grip portion 519 has an annular flange, one end of which is connected to the second end of the second annular body 518, and the first protruding member 512 is located below the grip portion 519. This design makes the grip more stable and less prone to slipping, improving the safety and reliability of operation. The flange can play a certain limiting role, and the annular flange can increase the overall strength and rigidity of the grip portion, making it less prone to deformation and extending its service life.

[0111] In one exemplary embodiment, one of the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 is provided with a first mating structure, and the other of the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 is provided with a second mating structure. When the second washing tub 4 is in the storage position, the first mating structure and the second mating structure cooperate to limit at least one of the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4. Thus, when the second washing tub 4 is in the storage position, its position relative to the first washing tub 2 is fixed, thereby enhancing the overall stability in the storage state and ensuring that the rotation of the filter ring 51 simultaneously fixes both the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4.

[0112] Furthermore, one of the first and second mating structures is a groove, and the other is a protrusion. For example... Figure 19 As shown, the second washing tub 4 has two protrusions 7 spaced apart along the circumferential sidewall on its outer side, and the first washing tub 2 has two grooves 6 spaced apart along the circumferential sidewall on its inner side. The two protrusions 7 and the two grooves 6 are arranged correspondingly. When the second washing tub 4 is in the storage position, the two protrusions 7 and the two grooves 6 cooperate to ensure that the water filter ring 51 can rotate to fix the first washing tub 2 and the second washing tub 4 at the same time.

[0113] Of course, the first and second mating structures can be installed in other ways. For example, both the first and second mating structures can be multiple magnetic components. The multiple magnetic components are arranged at intervals along the circumferential side wall of the second washing tub 4, and at the same time, the multiple magnetic components are arranged at intervals along the circumferential side wall of the inner side wall of the first washing tub 2. It is only necessary to ensure that the positions of the second washing tub 4 and the first washing tub 2 are relatively fixed.

[0114] Furthermore, the retractable washing machine also includes a top cover 1, which is detachably connected to the water filter assembly 5. This prevents water from splashing out of the washing tub during use and avoids external dust from falling into the water filter assembly 5, the first washing tub 2, and the second washing tub 4 after storage.

[0115] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 20As shown, a limiting ring 11 is circumferentially installed at the bottom of the top cover 1, and the limiting ring 11 extends along a second preset direction. A limiting groove 511 that mates with the limiting ring 11 is installed on the top of the water filter ring 51. The limiting groove 511 consists of a first annular body 516, a second connecting section 517, and a second annular body 518. Through the cooperation of the limiting ring and the limiting groove, not only is a tight connection between the top cover 1 and the water filter assembly 5 ensured, but the additional space required for the connection is also reduced. The design is more compact, allowing the top cover 1 to be correctly installed on the water filter assembly 5 during use, avoiding operational errors.

[0116] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0117] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as “above”, “on top of”, “on the upper surface of”, “above”, etc., can be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure.

[0118] It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation of the device as described in the figure.

[0119] For example, if a device in the accompanying figure is inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures will be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures.

[0120] Therefore, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein shall be interpreted accordingly.

[0121] In addition to the above, it should be noted that the terms "one embodiment", "another embodiment", "embodiment", etc., used in this specification refer to specific features, structures or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment that are included in at least one embodiment of the general description in this application.
