[0032] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0033] First, combine Figures 1-4 This invention describes a drain valve structure for a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, used for on / off control of the drain outlet 101 of the washing machine, and has a wide range of applications.

[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, a drain valve structure for a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a washing machine drum 100, a valve body 200, a drain pipe 300, and a control module.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the washing machine drum 100 is provided with a drain outlet 101 for discharging waste liquid after the washing machine has finished washing.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown in Figure 4, one end of the valve body 200 is provided with a first connecting flange 201, which is connected to the washing machine tub 100. The valve body 200 is connected to the outlet 101. The other end of the valve body 200 is provided with a second connecting flange 202.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown in Figure 4, one end of the drain pipe 300 is connected to the valve body 200 to drain the waste liquid located inside the valve body 200. The drain pipe 300 is L-shaped and is integrally formed with the valve body 200 to improve reliability.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown in Figure 4, the control module is connected to the second connecting flange 202 at the other end of the valve body 200 and is used to control the opening and closing of the discharge port 101. The control module includes: a sealing plate 401, a telescopic mechanism, and a sealing disc 403. The sealing plate 401 is connected to the second connecting flange 202 at the other end of the valve body 200; the telescopic mechanism is connected to the sealing plate 401, and the output end of the telescopic mechanism passes through the sealing plate 401; the sealing disc 403 is connected to the output end of the telescopic mechanism and is used to seal the discharge port 101. By controlling the operation of the telescopic mechanism, the sealing disc 403 is moved away from or closer to the discharge port 101, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the discharge port 101.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown in Figure 4, a sealing gasket 404 is also provided at the contact point between the sealing disc 403 and the outlet 101 to ensure sealing performance.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the telescopic mechanism includes: a sealing seat 4021, a support tube 4022, a connecting plate 4023, and a telescopic device 4024. The sealing seat 4021 is connected to the sealing plate 401; one end of the support tube 4022 is connected to the sealing seat 4021, and the support tube 4022 has a through hole; the connecting plate 4023 is connected to the other end of the support tube 4022; the telescopic device 4024 is connected to the connecting plate 4023, the telescopic device 4024 is a cylinder, and the output end of the telescopic device 4024 passes through the connecting plate 4023, the support tube 4022, and the sealing seat 4021 in sequence, and is connected to the sealing plate 403. This prevents corrosive liquid discharged from the outlet 101 from entering the cylinder when the cylinder retracts, protecting the cylinder's sealing ring and preventing cylinder damage.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, two X-shaped sealing rings 4025 are provided between the output end of the expansion joint 4024 and the sealing seat 4021 to improve the sealing performance.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown in Figure 3, the telescopic mechanism also includes a reinforcing rib 4026, which is connected to the sealing plate 401, the support tube 4022, and the connecting plate 4023 to improve stability.

[0043] In use: By controlling the expansion joint 4024, the expansion joint 4024 can be extended or retracted, thereby moving the sealing disc 403 away from or closer to the discharge port 101, thus realizing the opening and closing of the discharge port 101.

[0044] As described above, the drain valve structure of a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0045] 1. It can realize automatic on / off control of the washing machine's outlet 101, which is easy to operate and practical.

[0046] 2. By connecting the output end of the telescopic device 4024 through the connecting plate 4023, the support pipe 4022, and the sealing seat 4021 in sequence, and then connecting it to the sealing disc 403, the corrosive liquid discharged from the outlet 101 can be prevented from entering the cylinder when the cylinder retracts, thus protecting the cylinder's sealing ring and preventing cylinder damage.

[0047] The above combined with the appendix Figures 1-4 A drain valve structure for a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to washing machines.
