Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine technology, and in particular to a washing machine with a drying function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when people wash clothes, outerwear, underwear, socks, insoles, baby clothes, and other types of clothing are usually washed separately because they are prone to cross-contamination. The washing cycles for outerwear, underwear, socks, and insoles are different. Underwear and socks are best washed daily, while outerwear and insoles are best washed every two weeks. Therefore, it is not advisable to wash different types of clothing together.

[0003] Current fully automatic washing machines are mainly used for washing large items of clothing. When underwear, socks, insoles, and outerwear are washed together, cross-contamination can easily occur. Washing outerwear, underwear, socks, and insoles separately in existing fully automatic washing machines is both wasteful of water and electricity. Washing only outerwear in existing fully automatic washing machines while manually washing smaller items such as underwear, socks, insoles, and baby clothes is very labor-intensive and increasingly unpopular with modern consumers. Therefore, people need a small washing machine specifically designed for washing small items of clothing.

[0004] The applicant's earlier patent application, CN202223033146.5, disclosed an inner liner assembly for mounting and fixing electrical components between the drum and the outer shell, resulting in a more compact structural layout and higher space utilization, suitable for small washing machines. However, regarding the drying structure, this patent places the air inlet and heating device on the top cover bottom plate, allowing the drying airflow to enter the drum from the top cover bottom plate to dry the clothes. This drying air inlet structure occupies space in the upper part of the washing machine, leading to low space utilization in the vertical direction. Furthermore, for aesthetic reasons, a top cover plate is often needed to cover the air inlet and heating device, increasing the complexity of the shell structure and potentially affecting the airflow. In addition, since the area above the washing machine is the user's operating space, when the user uses the drying function, the airflow from the top cover bottom plate will be felt above the washing machine, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a washing machine with a drying function to solve the problem of low space utilization in the prior art due to improper layout of the drying air intake structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] A washing machine with a drying function includes a shell, an inner liner, an integrated plate, and a drying air inlet assembly. The drying air inlet assembly is disposed between the rear side of the washing machine drum and the shell. The integrated plate is disposed on the rear side of the washing machine. The integrated plate is detachably connected to the shell and the inner liner. The integrated plate is provided with a main air inlet hole, through which air from outside the washing machine can enter the drying air inlet assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, an air inlet is provided at the lower part of the drying air inlet assembly, the integrated plate is located at the lower rear side of the washing machine, and the main air inlet is located at the upper part of the integrated plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the washing machine includes a base, and the base is provided with an auxiliary air inlet.

[0010] Furthermore, the base includes a base plate and a surrounding plate, the surrounding plate being arranged around the outer edge of the base plate, and the base plate and / or the surrounding plate being provided with auxiliary air inlets.

[0011] Furthermore, the integrated plate is snapped into the shell and the inner lining respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, a first assembly notch is provided at the lower rear end of the housing, a third assembly notch is provided at the lower rear end of the liner, and an assembly slot is provided at the upper edge of the integrated plate. The first assembly notch and the third assembly notch are respectively engaged with the assembly slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper edge of the integrated plate is provided with an outer edge plate and an inner edge plate, and an assembly slot is formed between the outer edge plate and the inner edge plate. The housing is provided with a retaining plate in the first assembly notch, and the retaining plate engages with the assembly slot. The liner is provided with a retaining groove in the third assembly notch, and the inner edge plate located on one side of the assembly slot engages with the retaining groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the integrated plate and the inner liner are connected by fasteners, a third mounting component is provided at the lower end of the inner liner, and a fourth mounting component is provided at the edge of the integrated plate, and the fasteners can be inserted into the fourth mounting component and the third mounting component.

[0015] Furthermore, the integrated plate is detachably connected to the base.

[0016] Furthermore, the base's surrounding plate is provided with a second assembly notch, and the integrated plate is disposed in the second assembly notch; the base plate is provided with a first snap-fit ​​component and a first mounting component, and the side of the integrated plate facing the inside of the washing machine is provided with a second snap-fit ​​component and a second mounting component, the second snap-fit ​​component snaps into the first snap-fit ​​component, and the second mounting component is connected to the first mounting component by fasteners.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the washing machine with drying function described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] The present invention discloses a washing machine with a drying function. By placing the drying air inlet assembly on the rear side of the drum, the gap between the rear side of the drum and the shell can be fully utilized. Compared with the prior art, this invention can eliminate the vertical occupation of the internal space of the washing machine by the drying air inlet assembly, thus helping to improve space utilization.

[0019] Meanwhile, regarding the air intake for drying, this application provides a main air intake vent on the integrated panel at the rear of the washing machine, adjacent to the drying air intake assembly located at the rear of the washing machine drum. This allows external air to enter the drying air intake assembly through the main air intake vent. This layout of the drying air intake structure, using a traditional integrated panel at the rear of the washing machine for air intake, not only further integrates the drying air intake function into the traditional integrated panel, improving the functional integration of washing machine components and increasing space utilization, but also avoids damaging the casing structure or increasing its complexity by opening the air intake vent. Furthermore, since users often don't pay attention to the appearance of the rear of the washing machine, the main air intake vent of the integrated panel at the rear does not need to be obstructed, ensuring smooth airflow and guaranteeing sufficient drying air volume. It also effectively maintains the aesthetic appeal of the entire washing machine from the user's perspective. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The inventive concepts of this disclosure will be described below using terminology commonly used by those skilled in the art to convey the essence of their work to others skilled in the art. However, these inventive concepts may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0035] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "front," and "rear" in this application are all used in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1 The coordinates are used as the reference.

[0036] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] For washing machines with an inner liner assembly between the drum and the outer shell, this embodiment proposes a washing machine to address the issue of improving the assembly reliability between various components, especially the assembly reliability related to the inner liner. (See attached image.) Figure 1-6 As shown, the washing machine includes a shell 1, an inner liner 2, and a base 3. The inner liner 2 is disposed inside the shell 1. The inner liner 2 is detachably connected to the shell 1 and the base 3. In addition, the shell 1 and the base 3 are snap-fitted together.

[0039] Therefore, by connecting the inner liner 2 to the shell 1 and the base 3 respectively, this application not only helps to improve the assembly reliability of the inner liner 2, but also provides a supporting and reinforcing effect between the shell 1 and the base 3, which is beneficial to improving the mechanical strength between the shell 1 and the base 3.

[0040] Meanwhile, the inner liner 2 in this application is not only used to fix electrical components and other washing machine parts, but also serves to connect the housing 1 and the base 3, so that the housing 1, the inner liner 2, and the base 3 are connected in sequence. There is no need to directly fix the housing 1 and the base 3, nor is there a need to set a fixed connection structure (such as studs or screw holes) between the housing 1 and the base 3. This makes the inner and outer surfaces of the housing 1 smooth, and there is no need to set any additional parts. This not only facilitates the production and manufacturing of the housing 1, but also helps to improve the aesthetics of the housing 1, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the washing machine.

[0041] Building upon this, by further connecting the housing 1 and the base 3, the outer surface of the housing 1 is made flush with the outer surface of the base 3, and the two together form the same smooth surface, giving the outer surface of the washing machine a rounded and smooth visual feel, which can further improve the aesthetic performance of the whole machine.

[0042] The lower end of the housing 1 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​plate 12, and the inner side of the base 3 is provided with a groove structure 311. The first snap-fit ​​plate 12 is snapped into the groove structure 311 on the inner side of the base 3. This not only achieves the snap-fit ​​between the housing 1 and the base 3, but also makes the outer surface of the housing 1 and the outer surface of the base 3 more visually close, with the two forming the same smooth surface, thereby improving the overall aesthetic performance of the washing machine.

[0043] To further improve the assembly reliability of the inner liner 2, the inner liner 2 is also snapped into the base 3. During the assembly of the inner liner 2 and the base 3, the inner liner 2 and the base 3 can be pre-positioned by snapping together before being connected (e.g., with screws). This helps improve the assembly reliability between the inner liner 2 and the base 3, and the pre-positioning by snapping together facilitates subsequent assembly operations, improving assembly efficiency. Specifically, a second snap-fit ​​plate 201 is provided at the lower end of the inner liner 2. The second snap-fit ​​plate 201 snaps into the groove structure 311, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​connection between the inner liner 2 and the base 3 by inserting the second snap-fit ​​plate 201 into the groove structure 311.

[0044] To avoid spatial interference between the shell 1 and the inner liner 2 when simultaneously inserted into the groove structure 311, a partition 308 is provided in the groove structure 311, dividing it into a first groove 306 and a second groove 307. The first groove 306 is located on the side of the second groove 307 closer to the outside of the washing machine, that is, the first groove 306 is located outside the second groove 307. The first snap-fit ​​plate 12 snaps into the first groove 306, and the second snap-fit ​​plate 201 snaps into the second groove 307. Thus, during assembly, the first snap-fit ​​plate 12 at the lower end of the shell 1 is inserted into the first groove 306, and the second snap-fit ​​plate 201 at the lower end of the inner liner 2 is inserted into the second groove 307, achieving separate snap-fit ​​between the shell 1, the inner liner 2, and the base 3. This not only helps improve the assembly reliability of the three components but also effectively avoids unnecessary spatial interference when the shell 1 and the inner liner 2 are snapped into the base 3.

[0045] For the detachable connection between the liner 2 and the shell 1, the liner 2 and the shell 1 are connected by fasteners. The shell 1 is provided with a first fitting 11, and the liner 2 is provided with a second fitting 202 corresponding to the first fitting 11. The fasteners can be inserted into the first fitting 11 and the second fitting 202 to achieve the connection between the liner 2 and the shell 1. The first fitting 11 is preferably a hole structure to ensure that the inner and outer surfaces of the shell 1 are smooth and free of unnecessary parts. The second fitting 202 is preferably a stud structure with a threaded hole to ensure the assembly of the fasteners between the first fitting 11 and the second fitting 202.

[0046] The first assembly 11 is disposed on the upper part of the housing 1, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, the first fitting 11 is preferably disposed on the upper surface of the housing 1, and the corresponding second fitting 202 is disposed on the upper surface of the inner liner 2. The fasteners are installed and connected vertically from top to bottom. This placement is located below the washing machine door, and when the door is closed, it will cover the first fitting 11, without affecting the aesthetic appearance of the entire machine.

[0047] Based on this, to further improve the assembly reliability between the inner liner 2 and the housing 1, a first mounting part 11 is also provided on the upper part of the rear side wall of the housing 1, and a corresponding second mounting part 202 is provided on the upper part of the rear side wall of the inner liner 2, so that the fasteners are installed and connected horizontally from back to front. This setting is located at the rear of the washing machine, and is usually not seen by the user during daily use of the washing machine, so it will not affect the aesthetic performance of the overall appearance of the machine. At the same time, the inner liner 2 and the housing 1 are connected by fasteners in both the vertical and horizontal directions, which can effectively improve the assembly reliability between the inner liner 2 and the housing 1.

[0048] For the detachable connection between the inner liner 2 and the base 3, the inner liner 2 and the base 3 are connected by fasteners. The base 3 is provided with a fourth fitting 303, and the lower part of the inner liner 2 is provided with a third fitting 204 corresponding to the fourth fitting 303. The fasteners can be inserted into the fourth fitting 303 and the third fitting 204 to realize the connection between the inner liner 2 and the shell 1. The fourth fitting 303 and the third fitting 204 are preferably studs with mounting holes to ensure the reliability of the connection between the inner liner 2 and the base 3, and also to help improve the load-bearing capacity of the base 3 for the weight of related components.

[0049] The third assembly 204 is located inside the liner 2. While ensuring normal connection and assembly between the liner 2 and the base 3, it also avoids setting too many structural components between the liner 2 and the shell 1, especially at the position between the lower end of the liner 2 and the lower end of the shell 1. This is to avoid unnecessary spatial interference when the lower end of the shell 1 and the lower end of the liner 2 are simultaneously inserted into the groove structure 311 of the base 3, so as to ensure that the shell 1, the liner 2 and the base 3 are snapped together.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] In addition to the assembly scheme between the shell 1, inner liner 2, and base 3 proposed in Embodiment 1, this embodiment further proposes a washing machine with a drying function and optimizes the layout of the drying air intake structure to solve the problem of low space utilization of washing machines caused by improper layout of the drying air intake structure in the prior art.

[0052] As attached Figure 1-11 As shown, the washing machine includes a drying air inlet assembly 5, which is disposed between the rear side of the washing machine drum and the housing 1. The washing machine includes an integrated plate 4 for integrating and assembling components such as power cords, water inlet pipes, and water outlet pipes. The integration and assembly of these pipes is common in the prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0053] The integrated plate 4 is located at the lower rear side of the washing machine. The integrated plate 4 is snapped into the housing 1 and the inner liner 2 respectively. The integrated plate 4 is detachably connected to the inner liner 2. The integrated plate 4 is provided with a main air inlet 401, through which air from outside the washing machine can enter the drying air inlet assembly 5.

[0054] Therefore, by placing the drying air inlet assembly 5 on the rear side of the drum, this application can make full use of the gap between the rear side of the drum and the housing 1. Compared with the prior art, it can eliminate the vertical occupation of the drying air inlet assembly on the internal space of the washing machine, which helps to improve space utilization.

[0055] Meanwhile, this application provides a main air inlet 401 on the integrated plate 4 located at the lower rear side of the washing machine, which is close to the drying air inlet assembly 5 located at the rear side of the washing machine drum. This allows air from outside the washing machine to enter the drying air inlet assembly 5 through the main air inlet 401. Specifically, air enters the space between the housing 1 and the rear side of the washing machine drum from the main air inlet 401, and then enters the drying air inlet assembly 5 to achieve air intake for drying. This drying air intake structure layout uses a traditional integrated panel at the lower rear of the washing machine for air intake. On the one hand, this further integrates the drying air intake function into the traditional integrated panel, which not only helps to improve the functional integration of washing machine components and improve the space utilization of the washing machine, but also does not damage the structure of the shell 1 by opening the air intake hole, nor does it increase the complexity of the shell structure. On the other hand, since users often cannot directly observe the full view of the integrated panel 4 at the lower rear of the washing machine (the user needs to squat down to see the complete integrated panel 4), a certain blind spot is formed. This application sets the main air intake hole 401 in this blind spot, without the need to cover the main air intake hole 401, ensuring smooth air intake, helping to ensure the drying air intake volume of the washing machine, and not damaging the visual aesthetics of the washing machine's overall appearance by opening the air intake hole, effectively ensuring the aesthetics of the washing machine from the user's perspective.

[0056] For the drying air intake assembly 5, the drying air intake assembly 5 is connected to the drum of the washing machine; the lower part of the drying air intake assembly 5 is provided with an air inlet 51, and the upper part of the drying air intake assembly 5 is connected to the inner cavity of the drum of the washing machine. A heating device is provided inside the air duct of the drying air intake assembly 5, so that the airflow enters the drying air intake assembly 5 from the air inlet 51, is heated by the heating device to form hot air, and then enters the inner cavity of the drum to dry the clothes. Preferably, a fan is provided at the lower part of the drying air intake assembly 5, and correspondingly, the air inlet 51 corresponds to the air inlet of the fan to ensure that sufficient power is provided for the flow of drying air.

[0057] The main air inlet 401 is located on the upper part of the integrated plate 4. On the one hand, this makes the main air inlet 401 closer to the air inlet 51, shortening the distance between them and allowing external air to enter the drying air inlet assembly 5 more smoothly and without obstruction. On the other hand, this makes the main air inlet 401 completely within the user's blind spot of the integrated plate 4. Even if the user stands behind the washing machine, it is difficult to find the main air inlet 401 (the user needs to squat down to see the main air inlet 401), effectively ensuring the aesthetics of the washing machine from the user's perspective.

[0058] To increase the air intake of the drying air intake assembly 5, the base 3 is provided with an auxiliary air intake hole 304. Since the air inlet 51 of the drying air intake assembly 5 is located at the lower part of the washing machine, the auxiliary air intake hole 304 is located relatively close to the air inlet 51. On the one hand, with the increase of air intake holes, the air intake of the drying air intake assembly 5 can be effectively increased. On the other hand, the base 3 is often located at the bottom of the washing machine, and the air intake hole structure on the base 3 is not easily seen by the user, effectively ensuring the aesthetics of the washing machine from the user's perspective.

[0059] Specifically, the base 3 includes a base plate 301 and a surrounding plate 302. The surrounding plate 302 is arranged around the outer edge of the base plate 301, smoothly transitioning to a vertically upward direction along the outer edge of the base plate 301, so that the bottom of the washing machine can also form a rounded and smooth visual effect. The base plate 301 and / or the surrounding plate 302 can both be provided with auxiliary air inlets 304, and are not limited to the location of the auxiliary air inlets 304 shown in the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, regarding the arrangement of the trough structure 311 in Embodiment 1, the trough structure 311 is specifically arranged inside the surrounding plate 302, without affecting the smoothness of the outer surface of the base 3.

[0060] Regarding the assembly of the integrated plate 4, a first assembly notch 13 is provided at the lower rear end of the housing 1, a third assembly notch 203 is provided at the lower rear end of the inner liner 2, and an assembly slot 404 is provided at the upper edge of the integrated plate 4. The first assembly notch 13 and the third assembly notch 203 are respectively engaged with the assembly slot 404 to achieve the engagement of the integrated plate 4 with the housing 1 and the inner liner 2.

[0061] Specifically, the upper edge of the integrated plate 4 is provided with an outer edge plate 402 and an inner edge plate 403, and an assembly slot 404 is formed between the outer edge plate 402 and the inner edge plate 403. The outer edge plate 402 is closer to the external space of the washing machine, and the inner edge plate 403 is closer to the internal space of the washing machine. The housing 1 is provided with a retaining plate 14 in the first assembly notch 13. The retaining plate 14 can be inserted into the assembly slot 404 and engage with the assembly slot 404. The inner liner 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 205 in the third assembly notch 203. The inner edge plate 403 can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 205, so that the inner edge plate 403 located on one side of the assembly slot 404 engages with the snap-fit ​​groove 205. This form can also be regarded as a snap-fit ​​form in which the snap-fit ​​groove 205 and the assembly slot 404 are approximately interlocked. In addition, an extension arm 405 is provided at the upper end of the inner edge plate 403, and an extension groove corresponding to the extension arm 405 is provided in the snap-fit ​​groove 205. The extension arm 405 can be inserted into the extension groove of the snap-fit ​​groove 205, so that the extension arm 405 snaps into the extension groove, thereby improving the snap-fit ​​performance between the integrated plate 4 and the inner liner 2.

[0062] To ensure a secure connection between the integrated plate 4 and the inner liner 2, the integrated plate 4 and the inner liner 2 are connected by fasteners to achieve a detachable connection. Correspondingly, a third mounting member 206 is provided at the lower end of the inner liner 2, and a fourth mounting member 406 corresponding to the third mounting member 206 is provided at the edge of the integrated plate 4. Fasteners can be inserted into the fourth mounting member 406 and the third mounting member 206 to achieve the connection between the integrated plate 4 and the inner liner 2. The fourth mounting member 406 is preferably a plate structure with mounting holes, and the third mounting member 206 is preferably a threaded hole or a stud structure with threaded holes to ensure the assembly of fasteners between the fourth mounting member 406 and the third mounting member 206. The third mounting member 206 is adjacent to the snap-fit ​​groove 205 and is preferably located on the left and right sides of the third assembly notch 203. Correspondingly, the fourth mounting member 406 is located at the edges of the left and right sides of the integrated plate 4.

[0063] In addition, in order to further improve the stability of the integrated plate 4 in the washing machine and avoid loosening of the related pipelines integrated by the integrated plate 4, the integrated plate 4 is further connected to the base 3 in a detachable manner.

[0064] Specifically, a second assembly notch 305 is provided on the upper side of the base 3, and the integrated plate 4 is disposed in the second assembly notch 305. The integrated plate 4 is connected to the base 3 by means of snap-fit ​​and fastener connection, so that the integrated plate 4 is firmly connected to the inner liner 2 above it, and further connected to the base 3 below it. This allows the integrated plate 4 to be installed more stably in the washing machine, which not only ensures the assembly reliability of the integrated plate 4, but also avoids shaking or displacement of the integrated plate 4, and correspondingly avoids loosening of the related pipelines integrated by the integrated plate 4.

[0065] The base 3 has a second assembly notch 305 on its upper side of the surrounding plate 302. The base plate 301 of the base 3 has a first snap-fit ​​member 309 and a first mounting member 310 near the second assembly notch 305. The integrated plate 4 has a second snap-fit ​​member 407 and a second mounting member 408 on its side facing the inside of the washing machine. The second snap-fit ​​member 407 engages with the first snap-fit ​​member 309, and the second mounting member 408 is connected to the first mounting member 310 by fasteners. The second snap-fit ​​member 407 and the first snap-fit ​​member 309 are preferably claw structures or snap-fit ​​arm structures. The second mounting member 408 and the first mounting member 310 are preferably studs with assembly holes to ensure a secure connection between the integrated plate 4 and the base 3, and also to improve the base 3's load-bearing capacity for the weight of related components.

[0066] In addition, without interfering with the setting of the auxiliary air inlet 304, multiple reinforcing ribs are provided on the inner side of the base 3 to improve the mechanical strength of the base 3. Since the layout and setting of the reinforcing ribs are relatively common, they will not be described in detail.

[0067] In this utility model, all technical solutions proposed in this application are applicable to, but not limited to, small washing machines. Any washing machine may include any technical solution proposed in this application, and in addition to the relevant technical content provided in this application, the washing machine also includes conventional washing machine components such as an inner drum, an outer drum, and a door. Since these conventional components are all prior art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
