Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine technology, and in particular to an anti-tangling component for washing machines. Background Technology

[0002] In modern family life, washing machines have become an indispensable household appliance. However, the problem of clothes tangling during the washing process has always troubled users. Traditional washing machines have many shortcomings in preventing tangling.

[0003] Common top-loading washing machines rely on simple textures on the impeller surface to generate water flow, attempting to disperse clothes and prevent tangling. However, when the number of clothes in the machine is large, the range and intensity of the water flow are limited, making it difficult to effectively separate the clothes completely, and they still easily become tangled. This is especially true for large fabrics such as sheets and duvet covers, as well as garments made of special materials like silk and lace. Moreover, this simple water flow dispersion method increases the squeezing and friction between clothes when there are many, which can easily cause deformation and wear, and may also lead to uneven washing, making it difficult to remove some stains.

[0004] Some front-loading washing machines use a rotating inner drum and lifting ribs to tumble clothes and reduce tangling. However, the limited space inside the drum means that when washing large loads of clothes or mixing different types of fabrics, clothes can easily pile up in certain areas, leading to tangling. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the lifting ribs is greatly affected by the load and distribution of the clothes; when the clothes are unevenly distributed, the lifting ribs cannot function effectively, and the problem of tangling remains prominent.

[0005] Some methods that use laundry balls to prevent tangling also have significant shortcomings. The rolling of laundry balls inside the washing machine is random, making it difficult to stably and evenly separate clothes and failing to create a continuous and effective physical barrier. During the washing process, clothes still frequently come into contact with and tangle each other, and the rolling of laundry balls may scratch some thin or fragile clothes, affecting their lifespan.

[0006] Furthermore, existing washing machines lack effective solutions to address the significant resistance generated by excessive clothing when the motor starts. This not only increases the motor load and shortens its lifespan but may also cause problems such as jamming and abnormal noise during startup, severely impacting the user experience.

[0007] Given the various shortcomings of existing anti-tangling technologies for washing machines, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of anti-tangling component for washing machines that can effectively prevent clothes from tangling, adapt to different amounts and materials of clothes, protect the motor, and improve washing performance.

[0008] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0012] Preferably, the adaptive adjustment component includes a hollow plate, a slide rod, and a spring. The hollow plate is radially rotatably mounted on a rotating pin, and the slide rod is slidably mounted inside the hollow plate. The same spring is fixedly mounted on the slide rod and the inner wall of the hollow plate. The slide rod is hinged to the lever.

[0013] Preferably, both ends of the lever are fixedly installed with connecting blocks, and the connecting blocks are made of silicone material.

[0014] Preferably, the soft-start connection assembly includes a circular plate, a rotating ring, a fixing pin, multiple fixing blocks, and multiple springs. The circular plate is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor. A support ring is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the circular plate. A fixing pin is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the support ring. The fixing pin is radially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. Multiple fixing blocks are fixedly mounted on the bottom side of the circular plate. Springs are fixedly mounted on the side of each fixing block away from the rotating shaft.

[0019] The washing machine, consisting of a mounting box, casing, top cover, washing machine drum, shaft, motor, adaptive adjustment components, levers, soft-start connection components, and pulsator, operates as follows: When washing clothes, the motor starts, its output shaft rotates a circular plate. This plate, via the soft-start connection components, rotates the shaft, which in turn rotates the pulsator and two mounting bases. These mounting bases then rotate multiple adaptive adjustment components, which in turn rotate multiple levers. These levers move the clothes inside the washing machine drum, preventing tangling. Simultaneously, the rotation of the shaft... The distance between the lever and the rotating shaft is adaptively adjusted based on the amount of clothes in the washing machine drum and the magnitude of the centrifugal force on the lever, ensuring that the lever can always effectively move the clothes and prevent them from tangling. At the same time, the soft-start connection component can prevent excessive motor starting resistance caused by a large amount of clothes in the washing machine drum, thus improving the motor's lifespan. The protruding strips can assist in the washing process as the clothes and water in the washing machine drum rotate together under the action of the impeller, while also creating a water turbulence effect, improving the washing machine's cleaning effect.

A rotating pin is fixedly mounted in each of the multiple mounting grooves 311. A hollow plate 321 is radially rotatably mounted on the rotating pin. A sliding rod 322 is slidably mounted inside the hollow plate 321. The sliding rod 322 and the inner wall of the hollow plate 321 are fixedly mounted with the same spring. Spring 323 and slide bar 322 are hinged to the corresponding lever 33, providing support for lever 33 and enabling adaptive adjustment of the distance between lever 33 and rotating shaft 3 when rotating shaft 3. Motor 35 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of mounting box 1. A circular plate 351 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of motor 35. A support ring is rotatably installed on the outer side of circular plate 351. A fixing pin 353 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of support ring.

[0035] Working principle: In use, first connect the power supply, open the top cover 12 and place the clothes to be washed into the washing machine drum 2, simultaneously adding an appropriate amount of water and detergent. Then start the motor 35. The output shaft of the motor 35 drives the circular plate 351 to rotate. Simultaneously, through the cooperation of spring 355 and fixing block 354, the rotating ring 352 is soft-started and rotates. The rotating ring 352 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate through fixing pin 353. The rotating shaft 3 drives the two mounting seats 31 and the impeller 34 to rotate. The two mounting seats 31 drive multiple hollow plates 321 to rotate around the rotating shaft 3, and the sliding rod 322 and spring 354... With the cooperation of 323, multiple levers 33 are driven to rotate. The multiple levers 33 move the clothes in the washing machine drum 2 to achieve the effect of preventing clothes from tangling. At the same time, during the rotation of the rotating shaft 3, the distance between the levers 33 and the rotating shaft 3 can be adjusted according to the amount of clothes in the washing machine drum 2 and the magnitude of the centrifugal force on the levers 33. This ensures that the levers 33 can always effectively move the clothes and prevent them from tangling. Meanwhile, multiple protrusions 21 beat the clothes to achieve the effect of auxiliary washing and also achieve the effect of water turbulence, improving the washing machine's washing effect.
