Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and specifically provides a washing device. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, washing machines have gradually become one of the essential household appliances.

[0003] Current washing machines drain water through a drain pipe, which is mostly made of flexible corrugated pipe. The corrugated pipe can not only effectively absorb the vibration generated by the washing drum, but also facilitates installation.

[0004] In existing washing machines, one end of the drain hose is installed on the drain outlet of the washing drum, and the other end extends to the rear of the washing machine, running upwards along the side wall before connecting to the floor drain through an opening in the side wall. Because the corrugated pipe is flexible, it deforms and bends over time due to the weight of water, increasing drainage resistance. Furthermore, the irregular, uneven corrugations inside the pipe further increase this resistance. Moreover, when the washing machine vibrates, the flexible corrugated pipe not only slaps against the side wall, generating significant noise, but also suffers fatigue damage from prolonged vibration, reducing its lifespan.

[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0041] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, although the following embodiments are described in conjunction with a washing machine, the technical solution of the present invention can also be applied to other clothing processing equipment, such as shoe washing machines, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the application do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should all be limited to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "inner," "outer," "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom," which indicate direction or positional relationships, are based on the direction or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connect," and "install" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0044] Based on the problems of easily damaged drain pipes, high drainage resistance, and high noise in existing washing equipment, as pointed out in the background art, this utility model provides a washing equipment that aims to absorb the vibration generated by the washing drum by setting the first pipe section as a flexible pipe and the second pipe section as a solid-wall pipe. Compared with the corrugated pipe in the prior art, the solid-wall pipe of this utility model reduces the drainage resistance, makes the drainage smoother, reduces the noise generated by the vibration of the drain pipe with the outer shell of the washing machine, and at the same time, the solid-wall pipe is durable and improves the service life of the drain pipe.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a washing device, including a washing drum 1 and a drain pipe 2. The drain pipe 2 includes a first pipe section 21, a second pipe section 22 and a third pipe section connected in sequence. The first pipe section 21 is connected to the drain outlet of the washing drum 1. The first pipe section 21 is a flexible pipe and the second pipe section 22 is a solid-walled pipe.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the washing device of this utility model is a washing machine. The first pipe section 21 is connected to the drain outlet at the bottom of the washing drum 1, the second pipe section 22 extends toward the back panel of the washing machine, and the third pipe section (not shown in the figure) extends to the outside of the washing machine and is connected to a drain point such as a floor drain. The first pipe section 21 is a flexible pipe, and the second pipe section 22 is a solid-wall pipe. By setting the first pipe section 21 as a flexible pipe, the vibration generated by the washing drum 1 can be absorbed. By setting the second pipe section 22 as a solid-wall pipe, compared with the corrugated pipe in the prior art, the solid-wall pipe of this utility model reduces the drainage resistance, makes the drainage smoother, reduces the noise generated by the vibration of the drain pipe 2 with the outer shell of the washing machine, and the solid-wall pipe is durable, which improves the service life of the drain pipe 2.

[0047] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the material of the second pipe section 22. For example, those skilled in the art can set the second pipe section 22 as a metal pipe, a blow-molded pipe, or a rubber pipe, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific material of the second pipe section 22 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention and should be limited to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0048] Preferably, the second pipe section 22 of this utility model is a blow-molded pipe or a rubber pipe formed in one piece.

[0049] Compared to existing corrugated pipes, the second pipe section 22 uses a one-piece molded blow-molded pipe or rubber pipe, which is simple to process, easy to install, reduces drainage resistance, reduces noise, and is durable.

[0050] Preferably, the second pipe section 22 of this utility model is fixedly disposed relative to the outer shell of the washing equipment.

[0051] By fixing the second pipe section 22 to the outer casing of the washing machine, the second pipe section 22 will not vibrate significantly relative to the outer casing, thus preventing it from hitting the outer casing and generating noise, while also reducing the wear of the second pipe section 22.

[0052] Preferably, the first pipe section 21 of this utility model is a corrugated pipe.

[0053] By setting the first pipe section 21 as a corrugated pipe, the vibration generated by the washing drum 1 can be absorbed and digested, so that the entire drain pipe 2 will not vibrate with the washing drum 1.

[0054] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second pipe section 22 of this utility model is provided with an integrally formed pipe clamp 23, which is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the washing equipment.

[0055] For example, such as Figure 6As shown, the pipe clamp 23 on the second pipe section 22 of this utility model is integrally formed. The pipe clamp 23 is fixedly connected to the outer shell by screws, making the second pipe section 22 more securely installed and convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0056] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the number of pipe clamps 23. For example, those skilled in the art can set one or two pipe clamps 23 on the second pipe section 22, as long as they are reasonably set according to the length of the second pipe section 22. Such adjustments and changes to the specific number of pipe clamps 23 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0057] Preferably, the present invention has multiple pipe clamps 23, which are spaced apart along the length of the second pipe segment 22.

[0058] By setting multiple pipe clamps 23, the connection strength between the second pipe section 22 and the outer casing can be improved.

[0059] Preferably, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second pipe section 22 of this utility model is provided with a clearance groove 24, which is used to avoid other components of the washing equipment.

[0060] For example, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second pipe section 22 of this utility model is a solid wall pipe, which is not easy to bend. Therefore, an avoidance groove 24 is provided on the second pipe section 22, which allows components such as shock absorbers and water level sensors to fit tightly against the avoidance groove 24, so that no conflict will occur, saving space inside the washing machine and making the space layout reasonable.

[0061] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the washing equipment of this utility model also includes a drain pump 3 fixed on the outer shell of the washing equipment, and the drain pump 3 is connected between the first pipe section 21 and the second pipe section 22.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drain pump 3 of this utility model is fixedly installed on the outer shell of the washing machine. One end of the first pipe section 21 is connected to the drain outlet of the washing drum 1, and the other end of the first pipe section 21 is connected to the drain pump 3. One end of the second pipe section 22 is connected to the drain pump 3. By setting the drain pump 3, the drainage efficiency of the washing machine can be improved.

[0063] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present invention includes multiple washing drums 1, multiple drain pumps 3, multiple first pipe sections 21 and multiple second pipe sections 22 arranged opposite to the washing drums 1, and each first pipe section 21 is connected to the drain outlet of each washing drum 1. The washing equipment also includes a water collector 4 fixed on the outer shell. The first ends of multiple second pipe sections 22 are respectively connected to the corresponding drain pumps 3, the second ends of multiple second pipe sections 22 are all connected to the water collector 4, and the third pipe section is connected to the outlet of the water collector 4.

[0064] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the washing machine of this utility model is a three-tub washing machine. The washing tub 1 includes a large tub 11 located at the bottom and two small tubs 12 installed on the top of the large tub 11. Each of the three washing tubs 1 is equipped with a drain pump 3. The three first pipe sections 21 respectively connect the corresponding washing tub 1 to the drain pump 3. The first ends of the three second pipe sections 22 are respectively connected to the corresponding drain pump 3. The second ends of the three second pipe sections 22 are all connected to the water collector 4. The third pipe section is connected to the outlet of the water collector 4. By setting the water collector 4, the number of drain pipes 2 can be reduced, saving costs.

[0065] The second pipe section 22 of the large cylinder 11 of this utility model is relatively long, and preferably two pipe clamps 23 are provided. The small cylinder 12 is relatively short, and preferably one pipe clamp 23 is provided.

[0066] The drainage pump 3 of the large cylinder 11 of this utility model is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer shell, and the drainage pumps 3 of the two small cylinders 12 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the outer shell.

[0067] In this invention, the drain pump 3 and the water collector 4 are both fixedly installed on the outer casing. The two ends of the second pipe section 22 are respectively connected to the drain pump 3 and the water collector 4, and the second pipe section 22 is fixedly installed on the outer casing by the pipe clamp 23. Compared with the existing corrugated pipe, the drain pipe 2 of this invention absorbs and digests the vibration of the washing drum 1 through the first pipe section 21 and reduces the drainage resistance through the second pipe section 22. When the outer casing of the washing machine vibrates, the second pipe section 22 will not collide with the outer casing and generate noise.

[0068] Preferably, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first end of the second pipe section 22 of this utility model is provided with a first positioning mark 51, and the drainage pump 3 is provided with a second positioning mark 52. The first positioning mark 51 and the second positioning mark 52 can be positioned when the second pipe section 22 is connected to the drainage pump 3.

[0069] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the second pipe section 22 of this utility model is provided with a first positioning mark 51 at the connection end with the drainage pump 3, and a second positioning mark 52 is provided on the drainage pump 3. Since the second pipe section 22 is a solid wall pipe and is not easy to bend, the second pipe section 22 can be accurately connected to the drainage pump 3 through the first positioning mark 51 and the second positioning mark 52, which improves the installation efficiency and avoids deformation and damage to the second pipe section 22 due to inaccurate positioning and forced installation.

[0070] Preferably, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second end of the second pipe section 22 of this utility model is provided with a third positioning mark 53, and the water collector 4 is provided with a fourth positioning mark 54. The third positioning mark 53 and the fourth positioning mark 54 can be positioned when the second pipe section 22 is connected to the water collector 4.

[0071] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second pipe section 22 of this utility model is provided with a third positioning mark 53 at the connection end with the water collector 4, and a fourth positioning mark 54 is provided on the water collector 4. Since the second pipe section 22 is a solid wall pipe and is not easy to bend, the second pipe section 22 can be accurately connected to the water collector 4 through the third positioning mark 53 and the fourth positioning mark 54, which improves the installation efficiency and avoids deformation and damage to the second pipe section 22 due to inaccurate positioning and forced installation.

[0072] Preferably, the third pipe section of this utility model is a corrugated pipe.

[0073] By setting the third pipe section as a corrugated pipe, the drain pipe 2 can adapt to different drainage environments, facilitating the connection between the drain pipe 2 and the drainage point.
