Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of household appliances, and particularly relates to washing equipment.

Background

The pulsator washing machine forms bidirectional eddy in the barrel through the rotation of the pulsator so as to drive clothes to rotate and roll, and the aim of cleaning the clothes is achieved through the friction between the clothes and the bidirectional eddy. However, since the laundry is light, a phenomenon that an un-soaked portion floats on the water surface may occur at an initial stage of washing, and thus, wetting may be promoted by spraying water from above the washing tub. Or on the basis of rotating and rolling to clean the clothes, the washing effect can be improved by promoting the overturning of the clothes in a mode of pumping out circulating water in the washing barrel to the upper part of the washing barrel and then spraying the circulating water into the washing barrel from the upper part.

However, at present, only the outer tub cover at the laundry loading port of the washing machine is provided with the spraying holes capable of spraying water into the washing tub, and the spraying range is limited and the spraying manner is single, so that the improvement of the washing effect by the auxiliary spraying means is to be further improved.

Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new spray solution to address the above-mentioned problems.

Detailed Description

Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only for explaining the technical principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. For example, although the present invention is described by taking a pulsator washing machine as an example, the washing apparatus may be a washing and drying all-in-one machine or a sub-machine including a pulsator washing unit, etc. And can be adjusted as needed by those skilled in the art to suit particular applications.

It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms of direction or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are merely for convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a pulsator washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the pulsator washing machine 1 mainly includes a cabinet 15, a tray 12 disposed at the top of the cabinet, an outer tub 13 and an inner tub 14 accommodated in the cabinet, and a pulsator disposed at the bottom of the tub, and is driven by a driving motor disposed at the bottom of the cabinet to rotate so as to complete a washing process of laundry. The pulsator washing machine of the present invention further comprises a suspension rod 16 disposed inside the cabinet 15, which can reduce vibration caused by rotation during washing to improve user experience. The pulsator washing machine of the present invention is provided with a spray device which mainly comprises a water supply pipeline and a spray member, wherein in the operation process of a washing program, a water source supplies spray water to an inner barrel 14 through the water supply pipeline and the spray member, namely, the water source leads to the spray member through the water supply pipeline, and the spray member can be aligned to clothes to be washed placed in the inner barrel in an assembled state. In the present invention, at least a shower member is provided on the tray, specifically, the tray has a laundry inlet communicating with the inside of the inner tub 14, and a plurality of shower members are provided in a peripheral region of the laundry inlet.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the tray base includes two regions of a tray surface portion and a vertical portion disposed along a radial direction of the laundry input port, and the shower member is disposed in the region of the vertical portion. As can be seen from the orientation shown in fig. 1, the vertical part is an annular structure formed along the clothes throwing opening, the annular structure is a reducing structure with the radial size reduced from top to bottom, the spraying components on the tray seat are mainly arranged in the area below the vertical part, the spraying components can be arranged in a single row or multiple rows along the vertical direction, and the spraying components can be uniformly or non-uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction and the radial direction. For example, two circles of spraying members are arranged from top to bottom along the vertical direction, and two rows of spraying members are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction. Because the disk seat is arranged at the upper part of the washing machine, and different spraying angles can be generated by the same spraying component at different radial positions, the wider spraying angle can be realized by arranging the spraying component on the disk seat, and the spraying effect is improved.

In addition, the upper part of the pulsator washing machine is further provided with an upper cover 11 capable of exposing the inner tub to the environment and an outer tub cover 131 provided above the outer tub 13, and a spray member may be provided on the prepared structure in addition to the spray member provided on the tray base 12. For example, the spraying member is provided on both the tray 12 and the outer tub 13 of the washing machine, and particularly, the top of the outer tub 13 is provided with an opening aligned with the laundry input port, the opening is provided with an outer tub cover 131, in which case the spraying member should be provided on the outer tub cover 131. As another example, the shower member is provided on both the seat 12 and the upper cover 11 of the washing machine, and particularly, the seat is provided with the upper cover 11 at the laundry input port, in which case the shower member should be provided on the upper cover 11.

In addition, the spray members on the tray and the reserved structure may be used in combination or individually. For example, because the tray seat and the reserved structure are usually not of equal height and the radial dimensions of the tray seat and the reserved structure are different, the spraying members on the tray seat and the reserved structure can be opened simultaneously so as to obtain the layered spraying effect of the upper layer and the lower layer, and the spraying members on the tray seat and the reserved structure can be opened at intervals so as to perform auxiliary spraying on clothes at different positions in the inner barrel. Further, it is possible to cause one part of the spray members on the tray and the reserved structure to spray and the other part to stop spraying. That is, by adjusting the spraying timing of the spraying members at the two positions, the diversification of the spraying modes can be realized, and the washing effect can be improved.

The water supply line of the present invention can take water in the following two ways. One is to draw water from the outside, such as may be: the water supply line is connected to a water inlet of the washing machine or directly externally connected to the outside of the washing machine. The other is that the circulating water between the outer barrel and the inner barrel is guided, namely the water supply pipeline is connected to the circulating pump at the bottom of the outer barrel, the circulating water is pumped to the upper part of the inner barrel by the water pump and then is sprayed into the inner barrel from the upper part by the spraying component. It is understood that the two water source access means may be configured alternatively or simultaneously.

The following describes an example of the spraying member on the washing apparatus by taking the case that the spraying member is provided on both the tray seat and the outer tub cover. Possible implementations of the water supply of the spray member of the present invention are shown in fig. 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D.

Referring to fig. 2A, fig. 2A is a schematic structural view of a spray member of a pulsator washing machine supplying water through a water inlet pipeline according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2A, the spraying components disposed on the tray seat 12 and the outer tub cover 131 are all supplied with water by the water inlet pipe 21, and the external water is divided into two paths after passing through the water inlet valve 27: a spray component which is sent to the disk seat 12 by a water inlet pipeline 21; the other path is sent to the spraying component on the outer barrel cover 131 by the water inlet pipeline 21.

Referring to fig. 2B, fig. 2B is a schematic structural view of a spraying member of a pulsator washing machine supplying water through a circulation pipeline according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2B, the tray 12 and the spraying component disposed on the outer tub cover 131 are both supplied with water by the circulation pipeline, and the water at the bottom of the outer tub of the washing machine is pumped out by the drainage hose 26 under the action of the circulation pump 24, and is divided into two paths by the three-way valve 25: a spraying member provided to the outer tub cover 131 through the circulation line 231; another routing circulation line 232 leads to spray means on the tray 12.

Referring to fig. 2C, fig. 2C is a first structural schematic view of a spray component of the pulsator washing machine supplying water by a water inlet pipeline and a circulation pipeline together according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2C, external water is supplied to the spraying member provided on the tray 12 through the water inlet valve 27 via the water inlet pipe 21, and water at the bottom of the outer tub of the washing machine is pumped out through the drain hose 26 by the circulating pump 24 and then supplied to the spraying member on the outer tub cover 131 via the circulating pipe 23.

Referring to fig. 2D, fig. 2D is a schematic structural diagram of a spraying component of the pulsator washing machine supplying water by a water inlet pipeline and a circulation pipeline together according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2D, water at the bottom of the outer tub of the washing machine is pumped out through the drain hose 26 by the circulation pump 24, and then is supplied to the spraying member provided on the tray 12 through the circulation pipeline 23, and external water is supplied to the spraying member on the outer tub cover 131 through the water inlet pipeline 21 after passing through the water inlet valve 27.

Obviously, the detergent at the bottom of the inner barrel can be pumped out by circulating water supply and sprayed on clothes again for recycling so as to improve the utilization rate of the detergent, and additional fresh water can be supplied into the inner barrel by external water supply so as to improve the rinsing effect, so that the water supply modes of the spraying components on the tray seat and the outer barrel cover can be adjusted as required by diversified water supply modes, and the washing effect can be effectively improved.

In addition, the arrangement mode of the spraying component on the tray seat and the outer barrel cover can be the same or different. Taking the tray as an example, in one possible embodiment, the tray 12 is formed with mounting locations, and the spray member is disposed on the mounting locations at corresponding positions. Wherein, the spraying member mainly comprises a base body and a spraying opening 22 arranged on the base body, the base body is fixedly or removably arranged on the base seat 12, and the spraying opening 22 is aligned with the inner tub of the washing machine so as to spray water from the spraying opening 22 to the unwetted clothes above the inner tub. For example, the substrate is fixedly disposed on the tray 12, and may be: the spraying component and the disk seat are integrally formed or the spraying component is arranged at the mounting position of the disk seat in a clamping manner.

Preferably, an adjusting unit may be disposed on the mounting position, and the adjusting unit may adjust the position of the base body in the mounting position within a set range, and thus adjust the orientation of the spray opening 22 aligned with the inner tub, so as to wet the laundry more effectively. Such as the spray opening 22 can be in different positions in the spraying and non-spraying states, or the spray opening 22 can be moved in a set manner in the spraying state to obtain better spraying effect.

In one possible embodiment, the adjustment unit includes a first adjustment member capable of adjusting the position of the spray member within a set range in the axial direction of the spray member, such as in the case where the spray member is vertically mounted on the tray, the first adjustment member being capable of adjusting the position thereof in the thickness direction of the tray so as to enable at least a part of the spray member to be extended or retracted into the mounting position. Illustratively, the first adjusting member is a telescopic spring, one end of the telescopic spring is connected to the base body, and the other end of the telescopic spring can be moved under the condition of spraying operation, so that a pressing force is provided to the other end of the telescopic spring, so that the base body can extend out for a certain length, and the part where the spraying opening 22 is located is exposed to the environment, thereby preventing the outer edge of the spraying opening 22 from being blocked by the disc seat, and better spraying operation can be performed. In the case of non-spraying operation, the pressing force is withdrawn, and the base body retracts, for example, to a position approximately flush with the lower surface of the tray, so as to prevent the clothes from being caught by the portion where the spraying port 22 is located and causing damage to the clothes or damage to the spraying member in the case of a large amount of clothes in the inner tub. After the basal body retracts, the installation position can be closed so as to isolate the spraying component from the inner barrel, thereby effectively preventing the spraying component from being polluted or corroded by washing water or foam mixed with dirt and detergent.

Through the arrangement, the stretching or retracting action of the spraying component on the installation position can be adjusted according to whether the spraying operation is carried out or not, so that the spraying operation can be better carried out on clothes to be washed, and the probability of avoiding damage to the clothes in the barrel or the spraying component during the non-spraying operation is reduced.

In one possible embodiment, the adjustment unit comprises a second adjustment member which is able to rotate the spray member in the respective mounting position in order to obtain a richer spray angle by rotation of the spray member during the spraying operation. Such as a hinge. If the mounting position is approximately the hole with the inverted cone structure, the spraying component can revolve around the axis of the hole with the inverted cone structure at the position of the generatrix of the hole with the inverted cone structure, and therefore multi-angle and multi-position spraying is achieved. If the specific form of the inverted cone-shaped structure can be adjusted according to actual conditions, for example, when the included angle between a bus and an axis is large, the inner wall of the inner barrel can be cleaned on the basis of realizing spraying, for example, residual foam on the inner wall of the inner barrel is cleaned, and the self-cleaning capability of the washing machine is improved; when the included angle between the bus and the axis is small, clothes far away from the inner wall of the inner barrel can be sprayed better.

It is to be understood that the above-mentioned adjusting unit adjusts the protruding length of the spray member on the installation site through the first adjusting member and adjusts the rotation of the spray member in the installation site through the second adjusting member are only exemplary descriptions, and are only used for explaining the principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make any number of adjustments to the above described arrangements to suit a particular application without departing from the principles of the present invention.

It should be noted that the spraying components on the outer barrel cover and the disk seat can be the same or different, and the water source obtaining mode of the spraying components can be flexibly configured. For example, the water source of the spraying component on the outer barrel cover and the tray seat is all led from circulating water, the spraying component on the outer barrel cover is fixed on the outer barrel cover, and the spraying component on the tray seat is arranged on the tray seat in a telescopic mode. And the spraying water volume of the single spraying component can be equal or unequal, for example, the spraying water volume of the spraying component on the tray seat can be larger than that of the spraying component on the outer barrel cover, and the spraying component arranged on the tray seat has a wider spraying angle, so that better spraying effect can be realized by matching with larger spraying water volume.

It is understood that the above described spray member configuration and water source acquisition is merely exemplary and that one skilled in the art can make appropriate adjustments to the above described arrangement to suit a more specific application without departing from the principles of the present invention. Such as may also be: the water source of the spraying component arranged on the outer barrel cover is led from the outside of the washing machine, the water source of the spraying component arranged on the tray seat is led from circulating water, and the spraying component is fixed on the tray seat in a clamping manner and is arranged on the outer barrel cover in a hinge manner.

In addition, the water spraying timing of the spraying members at the two positions can also be flexibly configured. Specifically, the washing machine is provided with a controller which can control the spraying components arranged on the outer barrel cover and the tray seat to be in a spraying or non-spraying state, so that the spraying components on the outer barrel cover and the tray seat are combined to spray clothes in the inner barrel according to a set mode, and the spraying effect is improved.

Such as may be: the spraying angles and the spraying ranges of the spraying components on the tray seat and the outer barrel cover are different, so that the spraying components on the tray seat and the outer barrel cover are controlled by the controller to spray water into the inner barrel in a spaced spraying mode to wet clothes. Obviously, the length of the interval time can be flexibly set according to the actual situation. However, in the case of spraying as completely as possible, the spraying members on the tray base and the outer tub cover may spray water simultaneously.

Such as may also be: the plurality of spraying members on the tray and/or the outer tub cover are operated in batches. Taking batch operation of the spray components on the tray as an example: one complete spraying cycle includes a spraying duration time during which a part of the plurality of spraying members provided on the tray sprays water into the inner tub and stops spraying water during the spraying interval time, and a spraying interval time during which another part of the plurality of spraying members stops spraying water during the spraying duration time and sprays water into the inner tub during the spraying interval time. The spraying parameters of the spraying components on the tray seat and the outer barrel cover are controlled by the controller, so that diversified control of spraying modes is realized, and the requirements of different water quantities, water spraying time and the like in the washing process are met.

It is obvious that the above situations are only exemplary descriptions of the combination of the spraying operations, and those skilled in the art can reasonably adjust the combination of the spraying operations to suit more specific application occasions without departing from the principle of the present invention. Such as flexibly adjusting the duration of water spraying and the interval time of water spraying or properly combining the three situations.

As described above, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least the shower member is provided on the tray. The tray seat surrounds the washing barrel in the circumferential direction, so that the spraying device on the tray seat can obtain good spraying effect. On this basis, can also set up on the reservation structure and spray the component, through the combination of the component that sprays of two kinds of positions to obtain better spraying effect, and can carry out the diversification that sets up the realization spraying mode in a flexible way to the opportunity of spraying of the component that sprays of two kinds of positions according to actual demand, rotate and spray the supplementary mode that sprays and combine together of component through the impeller, improved washing effect.

So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent changes or substitutions of related technical features can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the invention, and the technical scheme after the changes or substitutions can fall into the protection scope of the invention.
