Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine valve technology, specifically a high-performance double-opening washing machine valve. Background Technology

[0002] In the daily use of washing machines, the inlet valve is a key component ensuring the normal operation of the machine, and the adverse effects caused by its blockage are becoming increasingly significant. Currently available washing machine inlet valves have many shortcomings in structural design and functional implementation, making them difficult to effectively cope with complex usage environments and water quality conditions.

[0003] Traditional washing machine inlet valves have a relatively simple structure and lack a proper filtration and protection mechanism when faced with common impurities in tap water. For example, aging water pipes in older residential areas cause a large amount of rust to flake off and mix into the water. These rust particles can easily enter the inlet valve, clogging the filter screen and valve core channels. In areas with hard water, calcium and magnesium ions in the water form scale after heating or long-term stagnation. This scale gradually adheres to the surface of the internal parts of the inlet valve, causing the water flow channel to narrow continuously.

[0004] Furthermore, during washing machine use, users may neglect to clean clothing pockets, leaving behind paper towels, hair, or other foreign objects. Small items from around the washing machine may also accidentally fall into the water inlet, causing blockages. Simultaneously, the constant dampness inside the inlet valve creates favorable conditions for microbial growth, and the resulting biofilm and bacterial colonies further exacerbate the blockage in the water flow channels.

[0005] More importantly, existing inlet valves have serious deficiencies in detecting blockages. When a blockage occurs, there is a lack of effective monitoring methods and auxiliary devices, making it impossible to detect the blockage promptly and accurately. This makes it difficult for users to detect problems immediately; they often only realize the blockage when the washing machine experiences serious issues such as slow water intake, failure to fill with water, or significantly poor washing performance. This lag not only affects the normal operation of the washing machine but also leads to frequent malfunction alarms, causing significant inconvenience to users.

[0006] Furthermore, if the blockage of the water inlet valve cannot be detected and addressed in time, the valve will continue to operate while blocked, causing abnormal changes in internal pressure. This can damage the electromagnetic coil or mechanical components due to prolonged abnormal operation. In addition, insufficient water intake can cause the motor and water pump components in the washing machine to be subjected to abnormal loads during subsequent washing and spin-drying processes, thereby shortening the service life of these components and increasing maintenance costs.

[0007] Therefore, we proposed a high-performance double-opening washing machine valve to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0009] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a high-performance double-opening washing machine valve to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0010] (II) Technical Solution

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-performance double-opening washing machine valve, including a valve body, a water pipe fixedly connected to the valve body, a stabilizing plate fixedly connected to one side of the water pipe, and a transverse groove formed in the stabilizing plate.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected inside the transverse groove, a spring A is fixedly connected to the fixing plate, a sliding block is fixedly connected to the end of the spring A away from the fixing plate, and a rope is fixedly connected to the sliding block.

[0013] Preferably, a support is fixedly connected inside the water pipe, and a monitoring plate is rotatably connected to the support.

[0014] Preferably, the monitoring chip has through holes fixedly connected at equal intervals, and a flow velocity sensor is fixedly connected in each of the through holes.

[0015] Preferably, a perforated circular plate is fixedly connected inside the water pipe, and a spring B is rotatably connected to the perforated circular plate. A connecting post is fixedly connected to one end of the spring B, and an auxiliary plate is provided in the middle of the connecting post. The spring B is fixedly connected to this auxiliary plate, and a toggle plate is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting post away from the perforated circular plate.

[0016] Preferably, an auxiliary circular plate is fixedly connected to the side of the monitoring plate away from the support member, and a blocking post A and a blocking post B are fixedly connected to the auxiliary circular plate.

[0017] Preferably, an adjusting component is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water pipe, and a filter is fixedly connected to the end of the water pipe.

[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a high-performance double-opening washing machine valve, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This utility model can monitor the water flow rate in the water pipe of the valve body in real time. Once the flow rate is lower than the normal range, it can quickly determine that the valve body is blocked. This early warning mechanism allows users to take measures before the washing machine malfunctions, avoiding washing interruptions and clothes not being washed properly due to failure to detect blockages in time, and greatly improving the stability and reliability of the washing machine.

[0021] Furthermore, this design can protect other components; for example, if the blockage in the water pipe of the valve body is not detected in time, the washing machine's control system will continue to drive the water inlet valve, causing abnormal internal pressure in the water inlet valve, which may damage the electromagnetic coil or mechanical parts; in addition, insufficient water intake may also cause the motor and water pump to be damaged due to abnormal load during subsequent washing and spin-drying processes; the flow rate monitoring design of this invention can detect blockages in time, avoid these problems, and protect other important components of the washing machine.

[0022] 2. This utility model employs a design that uses the rotation of the monitoring plate in conjunction with the intermittent resetting of the actuating plate to generate oscillation. This allows for the automatic vibration of blockages attached to the monitoring plate while monitoring the water flow rate. When impurities such as hair or fibers adhere to the monitoring plate, the vibration force generated by the resetting of the actuating plate can loosen and dislodge these blockages, effectively reducing the occurrence of blockages, ensuring smooth water flow in the valve body, maintaining normal water intake speed, and guaranteeing the normal washing process of the washing machine.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown:

[0035] A high-performance double-opening washing machine valve includes a valve body 1, a water pipe 2 fixedly connected to the valve body 1, a stabilizing plate 3 fixedly connected to one side of the water pipe 2, a transverse groove 4 formed in the stabilizing plate 3, a fixing plate 5 fixedly connected to the transverse groove 4, a spring A6 fixedly connected to the fixing plate 5, a sliding block 7 fixedly connected to the end of the spring A6 away from the fixing plate 5, a rope 8 fixedly connected to the sliding block 7, a support member 9 fixedly connected inside the water pipe 2, a monitoring plate 10 rotatably connected to the support member 9, through holes 11 fixedly connected at equal intervals on the monitoring plate 10, and a flow rate sensor 12 fixedly connected to the through holes 11. A perforated circular plate 13 is fixedly connected inside the water pipe 2. A spring B14 is rotatably connected to the perforated circular plate 13. A connecting post 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring B14. An auxiliary plate is located in the middle of the connecting post 15. The spring B14 is fixedly connected to this auxiliary plate. A toggle plate 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting post 15 away from the perforated circular plate 13. An auxiliary circular plate 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the monitoring plate 10 away from the support member 9. A blocking post A18 and a blocking post B19 are fixedly connected to the auxiliary circular plate 17. An adjusting member 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water pipe 2. A filter plate 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the water pipe 2.

[0036] in:

[0037] The stabilizing plate 3 is used to stabilize the water pipe 2 on the valve body 1, enhance the stability of the water pipe 2, and improve the overall structural strength of the device.

[0038] The sliding block 7 is adapted to the transverse groove 4.

[0039] Through hole 11 is mainly used for water circulation.

[0040] The flow rate sensor 12 is mainly used to detect the flow rate of the aqueous solution flowing through the through hole 11; when the flow rate detected by the flow rate sensor 12 in different positions of the through hole 11 is the same, it indicates that the water flow in the valve body 1 is not blocked.

[0041] The connecting column 15 is a hollow structure, through which water can flow.

[0042] The actuating plate 16 is mainly used in conjunction with the blocking post A18 and the blocking post B19. When the actuating plate 16 moves either the blocking post A18 or the blocking post B19, the perforated circular plate 13 fixedly connected to it will rotate with the monitoring plate 10 and the support member 9.

[0043] The adjusting member 20 has beveled ends, which can adjust the position of the incoming toggle piece 16.

[0044] The filter element 21 is used to filter impurities and foreign objects present in the water pipe 2.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] In the initial state:

[0047] The toggle switch 16 did not push the blocking post A18, the spring A6 was not compressed, and the spring B14 was not stretched.

[0048] During use, water flows through the through-hole 11 on the monitoring plate 10, as well as the auxiliary circular plate 17 and the filter plate 21. Simultaneously, the actuating plate 16 rotates under the external drive of the connecting post 15. During rotation, the actuating plate 16 gradually approaches and eventually pushes against the blocking post A18 on the auxiliary circular plate 17. At this time, the monitoring plate 10, fixedly connected to the auxiliary circular plate 17, rotates under the auxiliary support of the support member 9. During this process, the flow rate sensor 12 in the through-hole 11 monitors the flow rate of the water. Since the flow rate sensor 12 is known to primarily detect the flow rate of the aqueous solution flowing through the through-hole 11, when the flow rates detected by the flow rate sensors 12 in different locations of the through-hole 11 are the same, it indicates that the water flow in the valve body 1 is not blocked. Therefore, when the data detected by the flow rate sensor 12 are inconsistent, it indicates that the water pipe 2 of the valve body 1 is blocked. At this time, the external warning device, electrically connected to the flow rate sensor 12, will issue a warning.

[0049] Furthermore, when the actuating piece 16 pushes the blocking post A18 to rotate the auxiliary circular plate 17, the actuating piece 16 will gradually move closer to one end of the adjusting member 20, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3As the toggle piece 16 continues to move, it will move to the inclined surface at one end of the adjusting member 20. At this time, the toggle piece 16 will slide with the connecting post 15, the spring B14 will be stretched, and the toggle piece 16 will no longer push the blocking post A18. Instead, it will continue to rotate and move closer to the blocking post B19 on the auxiliary circular plate 17. It will continue to repeat the above-mentioned action of rotating the auxiliary circular plate 17 and the monitoring piece 10 through the blocking post B19. It should be noted that as the toggle piece 16 continues to rotate, the other end of the adjusting member 20 will cause the toggle piece 16 to disengage from the pushing of the blocking post B19, and move closer to the blocking post A18 on the auxiliary circular plate 17 again to perform the next rotation of the monitoring piece 10.

[0050] Furthermore, the design of this invention can monitor the water flow rate of the water pipe 2 of the valve body 1 in real time. Once the flow rate is lower than the normal range, it can be quickly determined that the valve body 1 is blocked. This early warning mechanism allows users to take measures before the washing machine malfunctions, avoiding washing interruptions and clothes not being washed properly due to failure to detect blockages in time, and greatly improving the stability and reliability of the washing machine.

[0051] Furthermore, this design can protect other components; for example, if the blockage of the water pipe 2 of valve body 1 is not detected in time, the control system of the washing machine will continue to drive the water inlet valve to work, resulting in abnormal internal pressure of the water inlet valve, which in turn damages the electromagnetic coil or mechanical parts; in addition, insufficient water intake will also cause the motor and water pump to be damaged due to abnormal load during subsequent washing and spin-drying processes; the flow rate monitoring design of this invention can detect blockages in time, avoid these problems, and protect other important components of the washing machine.

[0052] Furthermore, by employing a design where the rotating monitoring plate 10, in conjunction with the intermittent resetting of the actuating plate 16, generates oscillations, it can automatically vibrate and process blockages attached to the monitoring plate 10 while monitoring the water flow rate. When impurities such as hair or fibers adhere to the monitoring plate 10, the oscillation force generated by the resetting of the actuating plate 16 can loosen and dislodge these blockages, effectively reducing the occurrence of blockages, ensuring the smooth flow of water through the valve body 1, maintaining normal water intake speed, and guaranteeing the normal washing process of the washing machine.
