Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown:

[0029] A water inlet pipe for a drum washing machine includes a water inlet housing 101;

[0030] Two sets of guardrail frames 102 are provided and installed on the outer surface of the water inlet housing 101. The two sets of guardrail frames 102 and the water inlet housing 101 form a coiled chamber.

[0031] The first water pipe 103 is coiled in the coiled chamber;

[0032] The first connecting joint 104 is connected to one end of the first water pipe 103. The surface of the water inlet housing 101 is fixedly connected to the pipe body, and the pipe body has an L-shaped structure design. The end of the first water pipe 103 away from the first connecting joint 104 is fixed to the pipe body.

[0033] The connecting pipe 105 is rotatably installed at the center of one side of the water inlet housing 101 via a sealed bearing. The connecting pipe 105 is made of stainless steel, and one end of the connecting pipe 105 extends into the water inlet housing 101.

[0034] The second water pipe 107 is fixed to the end of the connecting pipe 105 away from the water inlet housing 101, and the other end of the second water pipe 107 is connected to the second connecting joint 108.

[0035] The first water pipe 103 and the second water pipe 107 are respectively fixed to one end of the first connecting joint 104 and the second connecting joint 108 by clamps, and the guardrail frame 102 is welded and fixed to the water inlet shell 101.

[0036] The fixed bracket 106 is sleeved on the surface of the connecting pipe 105 through the through hole and welded to the connecting pipe 105. The fixed bracket 106 has mounting holes at both ends.

[0037] Locking component 2 is located on the side of the water inlet housing 101 away from the connecting pipe 105 and is connected to the housing of the washing machine. Locking component 2 includes a rotating pin 201 fixed to the outer surface of the water inlet housing 101 and a locking sleeve 202 that slides on the surface of the rotating pin 201. One end of the locking sleeve 202 is fixed with an annular disc 203. A spring 204 is wound around the surface of the rotating pin 201. Both ends of the spring 204 are fixedly connected to the annular disc 203 and the water inlet housing 101, respectively. The surface of the water inlet housing 101 is close to the annular disc 203. A symmetrically arranged limiting rod 205 is welded at the position of the annular disc 203. The annular disc 203 slides on the surface of the limiting rod 205 through the sliding hole. A rectangular hole is opened on the rotating pin 201, and a horizontal plate 206 is set in the rectangular hole. The horizontal plate 206 is fixed on the locking pin sleeve 202. A pressing pin 207 is fixedly installed on the other side of the horizontal plate 206. A moving hole adapted to the pressing pin 207 is opened inside the rotating pin 201. The pressing pin 207 can slide in the moving hole opened in the rotating pin 201.

[0038] The rotating pin 201 and pressing pin 207 are located outside the drum washing machine housing, and the drum washing machine housing is provided with a limiting locking hole that matches the locking pin sleeve 202. The locking pin sleeve 202 can be located inside the limiting locking hole.

[0039] In this implementation plan: During use, the fixing bracket 106 is welded to the connecting pipe 105, and the fixing bracket 106 has mounting holes at both ends. The fixing bracket 106 can be firmly installed inside the washing machine by passing screws through the mounting holes.

[0040] Meanwhile, the second connecting connector 108 is snapped into the internal water inlet of the drum washing machine, realizing the connection between the second water pipe 107 and the water inlet.

[0041] The outer shell of the drum washing machine has a water pipe perforation. The diameter of the water pipe perforation is smaller than the outer diameter of the first connecting joint 104, but larger than the outer diameter of the first water pipe 103. In this way, the first connecting joint 104 can be located outside the drum washing machine and outside the perforation. Since the diameter of the water pipe perforation is smaller than the diameter of the first connecting joint 104, it can prevent the first connecting joint 104 from being pulled into the washing machine shell, which would make it inconvenient to pull the first connecting joint 104 later.

[0042] Meanwhile, the rotating pin 201 and the pressing pin 207 are located outside the drum washing machine housing, and the drum washing machine housing is provided with a limiting locking hole that matches the locking pin sleeve 202. The locking pin sleeve 202 can be located inside the limiting locking hole.

[0043] When this device is in use, pressing the pressing pin 207 applies pressure to the horizontal plate 206; the horizontal plate 206, under pressure, applies pressure to the locking pin sleeve 202, which compresses the spring 204 via the annular disc 203; the annular disc 203 can slide on the limiting rod 205, which limits the movement of the annular disc 203, ensuring its stability; as the locking pin sleeve 202 moves, it can also be removed from the limiting locking hole in the drum washing machine housing, thereby releasing the control over the rotating pin 201 and the water inlet housing 10. 1. Locking of components; then, the rotating pin 201 can be rotated to drive the water inlet housing 101 and the first water pipe 103 to rotate synchronously; the water inlet housing 101 rotates on the connecting pipe 105 through the sealed bearing, and the rotation of the water inlet housing 101 releases the first water pipe 103 and pulls the first connecting joint 104, driving the first water pipe 103 to be pulled out of the coiled cavity formed by the guardrail frame 102 and the water inlet housing 101 until one end of the first connecting joint 104 is connected to the faucet (not shown in the figure), then the rotation of the rotating pin 201 can be stopped;

[0044] Subsequently, when the pressure on the pressing pin 207 is released, the compressed spring 204 will rebound, driving the annular disc 203 to insert the locking pin sleeve 202 into the limiting lock hole; during this process, the locking pin sleeve 202 can be properly aligned with the limiting lock hole by finely adjusting the rotating pin 201, thereby achieving the position locking of the water inlet housing 101.

[0045] This structural design allows for precise release of the first water pipe 103 to the appropriate length and ensures it is positioned at a suitable distance from the faucet. This prevents the water pipe from becoming too long and scattering on the ground, or from folding or twisting due to entanglement, which could affect the smooth flow of water. This design reduces inconvenience during use and improves the performance of the water inlet pipe structure.

[0046] Next, turn on the tap, and water flows into the first water pipe 103 through the tap, then into the water inlet housing 101. In the water inlet housing 101, the water flows into the second water pipe 107 through the connecting pipe 105, and then into the washing chamber of the washing machine through the second connecting joint 108 and the water inlet of the washing machine, thus completing the water intake operation.

[0047] An L-shaped tube is fixed to the surface of the water inlet housing 101. The bend of the tube is adapted to the overall water pipe winding trajectory, avoiding the problem of folding when the first water pipe 103 is connected to the tube, which would affect the smooth flow of water. This design further improves the practicality of the structure.

[0048] It should be noted that a suitable storage and sealing isolation cavity is designed in the shell inside the drum washing machine, so that the water inlet shell 101, the guardrail frame 102 and the first water pipe 103 are all located in the storage and sealing isolation cavity. The specific dimensions of this structure can be flexibly designed for the inside of the drum washing machine and can be flexibly installed.

[0049] Meanwhile, the contents of the first connecting joint 104 and the second connecting joint 108 not described in detail in this specification are all prior art known to those skilled in the art and can be used as prior art references, and will not be described in detail.

[0050] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the fixed bracket 106 has mounting holes at both ends, allowing screws to pass through these holes and securely install the fixed bracket 106 inside the washing machine. Simultaneously, the second connecting connector 108 engages with the internal water inlet of the drum washing machine, connecting the second water pipe 107 to the water inlet. When this device is in use, pressing the pressing pin 207 applies pressure to the horizontal plate 206. The horizontal plate 206, under pressure, applies pressure to the locking pin sleeve 202, which compresses the spring 204 via the annular disc 203. As the locking pin sleeve 202 moves, it can be disengaged from the limiting locking hole in the drum washing machine casing, thereby releasing the locking of components such as the rotating pin 201 and the water inlet casing 101. Then, the rotating pin can be rotated. 201, driving the water inlet housing 101 and the first water pipe 103 to rotate synchronously; the water inlet housing 101 rotates on the connecting pipe 105 through the sealed bearing, releasing the first water pipe 103 through the rotation of the water inlet housing 101, and pulling the first connecting joint 104, driving the first water pipe 103 to be pulled out of the coiled cavity formed by the guardrail frame 102 and the water inlet housing 101, until one end of the first connecting joint 104 is connected to the faucet (not shown in the figure), then the rotation of the rotating pin 201 can be stopped; then, the pressing of the pressing pin 207 is released, the compressed spring 204 will rebound, driving the annular disc 203 to drive the locking pin sleeve 202 to be inserted into the limiting lock hole; next, the faucet is turned on, and water flows into the first water pipe 103 through the faucet, and then enters the water inlet housing 101. Water flows into the second water pipe 107 through the connecting pipe 105 in the water inlet housing 101, and then enters the washing chamber of the washing machine through the second connecting joint 108 and the water inlet of the washing machine, thus completing the water inlet operation.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
