Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a multi-functional washing machine with interchangeable tubs. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, washing machines on the market are mainly divided into top-loading, agitator, and front-loading types. Each type has its own characteristics in terms of washing principle, garment treatment effect, and applicable scenarios. For example, top-loading washing machines use a high-speed rotating impeller at the bottom to create a powerful vortex of water. They rely on the intense friction between the water and the clothes to remove stains, resulting in a high level of cleaning. Therefore, they are very suitable for washing large items of clothing, as the powerful water flow ensures thorough agitation and penetration of the fabric for deep cleaning. However, their disadvantage is that the strong water flow can easily cause clothes to become severely tangled, thus causing greater damage to small and delicate garments. Agitator washing machines, on the other hand, use a central agitator to rotate, creating a gentle water flow with less tangling and less abrasion. Therefore, they are very suitable for washing small items of clothing, as the gentle motion effectively protects the fabric fibers, preventing deformation or damage from vigorous pulling. Users usually need to choose different types of washing machines based on the material of their clothes or their washing needs, but traditional washing machines have limited functionality and cannot accommodate multiple washing modes.

[0003] While some multi-functional washing machines exist in the current technology, such as those that use program control to achieve different water flow patterns or integrate multiple washing structures within a single washing drum, their core washing method is still limited by the physical structure of the single washing drum, making it impossible to truly achieve flexible switching between different washing principles. Furthermore, such integrated designs often result in complex structures, high costs, and inconvenient maintenance and cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] A multi-tub interchangeable multi-functional washing machine, such as Figure 1-6As shown, the washing machine includes a washing tub and a base 1. The washing tub is detachably connected to the base 1. The washing tub includes an agitator washing tub 21 and a pulsator washing tub 22. The washing machine has a first working state where the base 1 is connected to the agitator washing tub 21 and a second working state where the base 1 is connected to the pulsator washing tub 22. The base 1 is provided with a first clutch 11 and a motor 102. The first clutch 11 is located at the output end of the motor 102. The agitator washing tub 21 and the pulsator washing tub 22 are respectively provided with a second clutch 211 and a third clutch 221 adapted to the first clutch 11. By engaging the first clutch 11 with the second clutch 211 and the third clutch 221 respectively, the washing machine switches between the first working state and the second working state. The washing drum and base 1 are vertically arranged, forming a cylindrical structure. By detachably connecting the washing drum to the base 1, when it is necessary to add or drain the washing drum or clean it, the washing drum can simply be removed from the base 1 and carried separately for these operations, reducing weight during transport and improving the user experience. One end of the first clutch 11 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 102, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second clutch 211 or the third clutch 221. The motor 102 drives the first clutch 11 to rotate, thereby causing the second clutch 211 or the third clutch 221 to rotate. The first clutch 11 on the base 1 engages with the second clutch 211 on the agitator washing drum 21, forming a first working state. In this working state, the washing machine cleans clothes by agitating the water flow. The water flow is gentle, the clothes are less tangled, and there is less wear and tear on the clothes, making it suitable for washing small items. The first clutch 11 on the base 1 engages with the third clutch 221 on the pulsator washing drum 22, forming a second working state. In this working state, the washing machine cleans clothes by agitating the water flow. The water flow is gentle, the clothes are less tangled, and there is less wear and tear on the clothes, making it suitable for washing small items. The first clutch 11 on the base 1 engages with the third clutch 221 on the pulsator washing drum 22, forming a second working state. In this working state, the washing machine cleans clothes by agitating the water flow. The pulsator at the bottom of the washing drum 22 rotates at high speed, creating a powerful vortex water flow. It removes stains through intense friction between the water flow and the clothes, resulting in a high level of cleaning and making it suitable for washing large items. Users can switch between the pulsator washing drum 22 and the agitator washing drum 21 according to their needs, making the function more user-friendly. When it is necessary to remove the agitator washing drum 21 / pulsator washing drum 22 from the base 1, lift the agitator washing drum 21 / pulsator washing drum 22 upwards, engaging the second clutch 211 / third clutch. Separation can be completed by disengaging the first clutch 11. When it is necessary to assemble the agitator washing drum 21 / pulsator washing drum 22 with the base 1, the second clutch 211 / third clutch 221 is aligned with the first clutch 11 so that they mesh with each other, thereby completing the assembly of the agitator washing drum 21 / pulsator washing drum 22 with the base 1. By setting the second clutch 211 / third clutch 221 and the first clutch 11, the transmission function of the motor 102 can be completed, and the feel during assembly can be increased to indicate to the user that the positioning is complete.

[0034] Preferably, the washing drum is provided with a washing chamber 201, and a rotating component is provided in the washing chamber 201. The rotating component is pulsatorically connected to the first clutch 11. The base 1 is provided with an electrical chamber 101, and the motor 102 is located in the electrical chamber 101. The rotating component is rotatably connected to the second clutch 211 or the third clutch 221. The motor 102 drives the second clutch 211 or the third clutch 221 to rotate, thereby rotating the rotating component. By setting the rotating component, the water in the washing drum is agitated, thereby forming a vortex and improving the rinsing effect of the water flow on the clothes.

[0035] Preferably, the rotating component of the agitator washing drum 21 includes an agitator 212 located at the center of the washing chamber 201, and the agitator 212 is convexly connected to the second clutch 211. The agitator 212 extends axially along the washing chamber 201, forming a vortex rotating along its central axis within the washing chamber 201, which improves the rinsing effect of the water flow on the clothes. As a preferred embodiment, the surface of the agitator 212 can be composed of several concave and several convex surfaces staggered together. Compared to a smooth agitator 212 that can only push the water flow in one direction, when the agitator 212 rotates, the water in the washing chamber 201 diffuses to the surroundings at more angles under the action of the concave and convex surfaces, making the water flow more agitated during rotation and more effectively impacting the fiber gaps of the clothes, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0036] Preferably, the rotating component of the impeller washing drum 22 includes a disc impeller 222 located at the center of the washing chamber 201, and the disc impeller 222 is connected to the third clutch 221 in a transmission connection.

[0037] Preferably, the disc impeller 222 is provided with a plurality of high-position fins 223 and low-position fins 224, which are staggered. The surface of the disc impeller 222 is arc-shaped, and the high-position fins 223 and low-position fins 224 are spaced apart along the central axis of the disc impeller 222. The staggered distribution of the high-position fins 223 and low-position fins 224 breaks the symmetry of the water flow when the impeller rotates. The high-position fins 223 generate strong vortices and vertically upward water flow, which are responsible for impact washing; the low-position fins 224 generate weak vortices and horizontal water flow, which are responsible for lifting the clothes, ensuring that the clothes are gently moved and turned in the tub, so as to generate gentle friction between the clothes and between the clothes and the water flow. This asymmetrical combination of water flow has a more uniform and thorough washing effect than a single water flow.

[0038] Preferably, the bottom of the washing chamber 201 is provided with a water-passing chamber 202 to accommodate the rotating component, and the rotating component is rotatably connected to the water-passing chamber 202. The bottom wall of the washing chamber 201 extends vertically upward along its central axis to form the water-passing chamber 202. The rotating component is placed in the water-passing chamber 202 and rotates within it. A gap is provided between the water-passing chamber 202 and the rotating component, through which the water-passing chamber 202 communicates with the water flow in the washing chamber 201. By providing the gap, the rotating component and the water-passing chamber 202 together form a "centrifugal pump." The rotation of the rotating component throws the water flow in the water-passing chamber 202 out of the water-passing chamber 202. At this time, the water-passing chamber 202 is under negative pressure relative to the washing chamber 201. Under the action of negative pressure, the water flow in the washing chamber 201 is squeezed into the water-passing chamber 202, and so on, forming a stable water flow circulation.

[0039] Preferably, an electrolysis plate 203 is installed inside the water passage chamber 202, and the electrolysis plate 203 is electrically connected to a controller located in the electrical chamber 101. The water circulation process between the water passage chamber 202 and the washing chamber 201 has been described above. During this circulation process, the electrolysis plate 203 electrolyzes the water entering the water passage chamber 202 each time, thereby sterilizing and inhibiting scale buildup in the water in the washing chamber 201. The electrolysis plate 203 is housed in an insulating container, such as plastic. The controller's power cord is connected to the terminals of the electrodes on the electrolysis plate 203 via a waterproof connector. The entire electrical connection is sealed and insulated. The electrolysis process of the water by the electrolysis plate 203 is conventional prior art and will not be elaborated further here.

[0040] Preferably, the base 1 has a drain outlet 12 on its end face near the washing drum. The drain outlet 12 passes through the electrical chamber 101 and extends to the bottom of the base 1. During the filling, draining, or cleaning of the washing drum, water easily accumulates on the side wall. When the undried washing drum is placed into the base 1, water droplets on the side wall flow to the end face of the base 1. By providing a drain outlet 12 on the end face of the base 1, these water droplets are drained from the bottom of the base 1, preventing them from entering the electrical chamber 101 and damaging the electrical components, thus extending the product's lifespan.

[0041] Preferably, the base 1 has a protruding contact protrusion 13, and the washing drum has a slot 3 corresponding to the position of the contact protrusion 13. The contact protrusion 13 engages with the slot 3. The size of the slot 3 is adapted to the size of the contact protrusion 13. By aligning the contact protrusion 13 with the slot 3 and engaging it, the washing drum is stably connected to the base 1.

[0042] Preferably, a water filter baffle 204 is provided on the top of the washing chamber 201, and the water filter baffle 204 is provided with water filter holes 205. The water filter baffle 204 is hollow and is circumferentially arranged on the top of the washing chamber 201 and extends along the axial direction of the washing chamber 201. The user adds water to the washing chamber 201 through the hollow area of ​​the water filter baffle 204 and drains water from the washing chamber 201 through the water filter holes 205. By setting the water filter baffle 204, the clothes in the washing chamber 201 are prevented from sliding out with the water flow during the drainage process, thus improving the user's operating experience.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
