So that the versatility of the utility model water inlet valve is improved, it is conducive to being applied in the internal structure of different washing machine and reducing the cost of washing machine water inlet valve design and manufacture.

[0004] In the above-mentioned technology, in order to facilitate the installation of water inlet valve, first mounting plate and second mounting plate are provided, but they are integrally machined with the water inlet valve, and cannot effectively reduce the cost of water inlet valve design and manufacture, so there is room for improvement. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model provides a kind of installation plate for washing machine water inlet valve to solve the problem raised in background art.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an installation plate for washing machine water inlet valve, comprising valve body, mounting plate, the valve body is provided with an annular groove, the middle part of the mounting plate is provided with a U-shaped groove, and a U-shaped plate is fixedly arranged in the U-shaped groove and connected with the annular groove, two protruding positioning columns are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the U-shaped groove of the mounting plate, and a fixing hole is arranged in the positioning column.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting plate is made of nylon.

[0008] Preferably, two wedge-shaped plates are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the U-shaped plate in the mounting plate and inclined forward.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the positioning column away from the mounting plate is inclined.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0011] 1. The installation plate and the water inlet valve are in a separated state by the clamping of the installation plate and the water inlet valve, thereby reducing the design and manufacturing cost of the water inlet valve.

[0012] 2. Since the installation plate and the water inlet valve are clamped, when the mold is opened later, only an annular groove is added in the water inlet valve, so that the water inlet valve can be installed in different washing machines by matching different installation plates, thereby improving the convenience of subsequent use and maintenance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0013] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the assembled utility model.

[0014] Fig. 2 is a top view of the installation plate of the utility model.

[0015] Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the installation plate of the utility model, wherein: 1 - water inlet valve; 11 - annular groove; 2 - installation plate; 21 - U-shaped groove; 22 - U-shaped plate; 23 - positioning column; 24 - fixing hole; 25 - wedge-shaped plate. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0017] In the description of the utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more; the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "front end", "rear end", "head", "tail" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" and the like are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0018] In the description of the utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected" should be broadly understood, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, movably connected or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0019] For example, Figs. 1-3In the embodiment, a mounting plate for a water inlet valve of a washing machine comprises a valve body 1 and a mounting plate 2, the valve body 1 is provided with an annular groove 11, the mounting plate 2 is provided with a U-shaped groove 21 in the middle, and a U-shaped plate 22 is fixed in the U-shaped groove 21 and is clamped with the annular groove 11, two protruding positioning columns 23 are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the U-shaped groove 21, and the positioning columns 23 are provided with fixing holes 24.
