[0028] The following disclosure provides many different implementation methods or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model.
[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a washing machine is provided, including a base 1 and a mounting frame 2. The base 1 and the mounting frame 2 are rotatably connected by hinges. An outer shell cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 2. A rotatable inner drum 4 is provided inside the outer shell cylinder 3. Four drum doors 10 are movably installed on the front surfaces of the inner drum 4 and the outer shell cylinder 3 by hinges. A discharge rack 5 is detachably installed inside the inner drum 4. A discharge cylinder 6 is rotatably connected to the base 1. The output end of the discharge cylinder 6 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 2 so that the clothes can slide freely out of the drum doors 10 following the tilt direction of the mounting frame 2.
[0030] In this embodiment, both the outer casing 3 and the inner drum 4 of the washing machine have four hinged doors 10. When the equipment is working, the clothes will roll clockwise and counterclockwise in the inner drum 4, causing friction and staining. When the work is finished and the clothes are ready to be discharged, the doors of the two inner drums 4 in one direction are first aligned with the two doors of the outer casing 3. The operator opens the doors of the inner drum 4 and the outer casing 3, then places the discharge rack 5 in, and then closes all the doors. The inner drum 4 rotates 180 degrees, so that the two inner drums facing each other... The door matches the outer casing door. After the inner roller 4 rotates 180 degrees, the clothes that were originally at the bottom of the inner roller 4 have rolled down to the top of the discharge rack 5. At this time, the unloading cylinder 6 starts to work. After the unloading cylinder 6 rises, the entire machine tilts at a certain angle until the clothes slide out freely with the tilt angle. The design of the four cylinder doors can quickly put the clothes into the inner roller 4. When unloading the clothes, the tilting mounting bracket 2 makes the clothes on the discharge rack 5 slide out freely, reducing the labor wear and tear on the operator, improving work efficiency, and ensuring the safety of the operator.
[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, a drive mechanism is installed on one side of the mounting frame 2. The drive mechanism includes a motor 71, a first large pulley 72, a second large pulley 73, and a third large pulley 74. A first small pulley 76 is coaxially rotating on one side of the first large pulley 72, and a second small pulley 77 is coaxially rotating on one side of the second large pulley 73. The motor 71 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 2, and a motor pulley 75 is provided at the output end of the motor 71. The motor pulley 75 is connected to the first large pulley 72 via a belt. The first small pulley 76 is connected to the second large pulley 73 via a belt, and the second small pulley 77 is connected to the third large pulley 74 via a belt. The third large pulley 74 is connected to one end of the inner roller 4. When the motor pulley 75 on the motor 71 rotates, it drives the first large pulley 72 and the first small pulley 76 to rotate together. The first small pulley 76 drives the second large pulley 73 and the second small pulley 77 to rotate together. The second small pulley 77 drives the third large pulley 74 to rotate, ultimately driving the inner roller 4 to rotate.
[0032] Furthermore, a braking mechanism is installed on the side of the mounting bracket 2 away from the drive mechanism. The braking mechanism includes a first driven large pulley 78, a second driven small pulley 79, and a brake disc 70. The first driven large pulley 78 is connected to the other end of the inner roller 4. The first driven large pulley 78 is connected to the second driven small pulley 79 via a belt. The second large pulley 73 is connected to the second driven small pulley 79 via a rotating shaft 700. The brake disc 70 is mounted on the second driven small pulley 79 so that the drum door of the inner roller 4 is aligned with the drum door of the outer casing 3, allowing the brake pump to start working. The hydraulic device causes the brake disc 70 to brake and the second driven small pulley 79 to decelerate and stop. At the same time, the coaxial second large pulley 73 decelerates and stops, causing the third large pulley 74 to stop. The entire inner roller 4 is then in a stationary state. If there are wet clothes inside the roller, without brake intervention, the weight of the clothes will prevent the inner roller door from aligning with the outer casing door, making it impossible to open.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, a drain valve 31 is provided on the outer side of the outer shell 3. The drain valve 31 is connected to a cylinder 32. The drain valve 31 is connected to the inside of the outer shell 3 through a pipe. When the telescopic end of the cylinder 32 extends outward, the drain valve 31 is in a closed state; when the telescopic end of the cylinder 32 retracts inward, the drain valve 31 is in an open state for draining. The opening and closing of the drain valve 31 is controlled by the cylinder 32. Alternatively, cylinders 32 can be provided before and after the drain valve 31 to control the water flow rate. The drain valve 31 is installed on the drain pipe, and cylinders 32 are installed before and after the drain valve 31 on the drain pipe. When the telescopic end of the cylinder 32 extends outward, the water flow rate is slowed down; when the telescopic end of the cylinder 32 retracts inward, the water flow rate is accelerated, so as to control the drainage speed.
[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inner roller 4 is connected to a water inlet pipe 41, one end of which is located at the top of the outer shell cylinder 3. A water filter 42, an electromagnetic flow meter 43, and a pneumatic butterfly valve 44 are sequentially arranged on the water inlet pipe 41.
[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inner roller 4 is connected to a steam pipe 45, and an angle seat valve 46 and a steam filter 47 are provided on the steam pipe 45.
[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, a limiting device is provided at the gate of the outer shell cylinder 3. The limiting device includes a T-shaped rod 33 and a fixing member 34. The fixing member 34 is fixedly installed on one side of the gate of the outer shell cylinder 3. The fixing member 34 is provided with two stop grooves 35. The T-shaped rod 33 can move back and forth in the two stop grooves 35 to lock the open gate and prevent it from closing. When the gate of the outer shell cylinder 3 is aligned with the gate of the inner roller 4, the gates of both the outer shell cylinder 3 and the inner roller 4 are opened. To prevent the need for manual fixing after opening, a limiting device is designed. After the gates of the outer shell cylinder 3 and the inner roller 4 are opened by rotation, the T-shaped rod 33 moves to the stop groove 35 that locks the gate 10, preventing the gate 10 from rotating and closing due to its own weight. When it is necessary to close the gate 10, the T-shaped rod 33 is moved to the other stop groove 35. The T-shaped rod 33 does not interfere with the gate 10, so the gate 10 can be closed.
[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, a handle 36 is provided on the cylinder door of the outer casing 3 to facilitate opening the cylinder door 10.
[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, the discharge rack 5 is made of carbon fiber material. Carbon fiber has the characteristics of being lightweight and highly corrosion-resistant. When disassembling, it is easy for users to take it out without increasing their labor intensity. At the same time, when the inner drum 4 washes clothes, it will put in a large number of chemicals, which will corrode the discharge rack 5, but the carbon fiber is not easily affected and its service life is extended.
[0039] Preferably, the inner roller 4 has several evenly distributed drainage holes 41 on its drum door to prevent water from easily accumulating in certain areas inside the inner roller 4. During the rotation of the inner roller 4, water can be drained from all directions without angles, reducing the weight of the user carrying wet clothes and reducing labor intensity.
[0040] Preferably, the inner roller 4 has two symmetrically arranged mounting grooves 42 at the end of the roller door away from the hinge. A switch 43 is provided on the mounting groove 42. A groove for easy handle is also provided between the two mounting grooves 42. The switch 43 is used to lock the roller door of the inner roller 4. At the same time, the inner roller 4 has multiple water passage holes.
[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, the tilt angle of the mounting bracket 2 is 13° to 30° to prevent the mounting bracket 2 from losing control due to excessive tilting.
[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, four evenly distributed V-shaped supports 44 are provided on the inner wall of the inner roller 4. The inner diameter of the inner roller 4 is slightly larger than the length of the discharge rack 5. The discharge rack 5 is detachably installed on one side of the V-shaped supports 44. The width side of the discharge rack 5 first enters the interior of the inner roller 4 and then reaches the designated position, where the width side of the discharge rack 5 fits and is locked against the inner wall of the inner roller 4. When the inner roller 4 rotates, the discharge rack 5 will not fall to the bottom of the inner roller 4, but will move slightly on one side of the V-shaped supports 44. When the inner roller 4 is tumbled 180°, the discharge rack 5 falls onto the two V-shaped supports 44, thus preventing the discharge rack 5 from undergoing too much displacement and thus damaging the discharge rack 5.
[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
