In addition, all connection relationships mentioned herein do not refer to direct connection of the components, but rather, refer to a connection structure that may be better formed by adding or subtracting connection aids depending on the particular implementation. The technical features of the invention can be interactively combined on the premise of no contradiction and conflict.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the washing machine comprises a water tank 1, a washing pump 3, a spray arm 4 and a filter element 2 with a plurality of sieve holes 22, wherein a water inlet channel of the washing pump 3 is communicated with the inside of the water tank 1 through the filter element 2, a water outlet channel of the washing pump 3 is communicated with the spray arm 4, and the spray arm 4 is rotatably arranged in the water tank 1.
In order to solve the problem that the filter element 2 is easy to be blocked, the bottom wall of the water tank 1 is provided with a first inclined plane 11, and the filter element 2 is arranged on the first inclined plane 11.
The bottom wall of the water tank 1 is provided with a first inclined plane 11, which means that the bottom wall of the water tank 1 is composed of at least one inclined plane, and the bottom wall of the water tank 1 can be funnel-shaped.
The first inclined surface 11 may be a plane surface, or an arc surface, or a conical surface, which may be suitable for the case that the filter element 2 is of a plate type.
In order to enable the first inclined surface 11 to mount the cartridge-type filter element 2 as well, a mounting portion for mounting the filter element 2 may be provided on the first inclined surface 11, and the mounting portion may have a plane surface provided horizontally.
According to the washing machine, the first inclined surface 11 is arranged on the bottom wall of the water tank 1, and the filter element 2 is arranged on the first inclined surface 11, so that the cross-sectional area of the bottom of the water tank 1 can be greatly reduced under the condition of meeting the water depth requirement of submerging the filter element 2, the volume of the water tank 1 for containing washing water is reduced, the consumption of washing water is reduced, and meanwhile, the electric energy required for heating the washing water is also reduced.
The filter element 2 is disposed on the first inclined surface 11, and the filter surface of the filter element 2 may be disposed obliquely or nearly vertically, so that the mesh holes on the filter surface of the filter element 2 are also disposed obliquely or vertically, and the waste residues filtered by the mesh holes flow away from the position of the filter element 2 along the first inclined surface 11, thereby reducing the amount of waste residues accumulated on and around the filter element 2.
In addition, the low point of the first inclined surface 11 becomes a sedimentation area of the waste residue, and the waste residue can be sedimented in advance under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, so that the amount of the waste residue flowing along with the water flow to the filter element 2 is reduced, and the filter element 2 is relieved from being blocked.
Furthermore, the filtered and separated waste residues can slide downwards along the first inclined plane 11 to be converged to the lowest point of the water tank 1, and are discharged out of the water tank 1 through the drainer 13 arranged at the low point, so that the waste residues can be cleaned conveniently, and the cleaning workload is reduced.
Finally, under the condition of ensuring the water flow injection force, the waste residue cleaning is very convenient and efficient, the consumption of the washing water in the washing machine is greatly reduced, the electric energy consumed by heating the washing water is also reduced, and the effects of saving water and energy are achieved.
For the principle of centrifugal sedimentation, specifically, water flow falls to the bottom of the water tank 1 from the dishes from top to bottom, water at the same level as the filter element 2 is preferentially sucked to the filter element 2 due to the suction effect of the washing pump 3, water in the area below the filter element 2 rarely flows, the water flow is changed from the up-and-down flow to the horizontal flow to generate centrifugal force, so that waste residues are separated from the water flow, continue to fall towards the bottom of the water tank 1 and slide to the lowest point along the bottom wall of the water tank 1.
That is, the low point of the first inclined surface 11 forms a settling area of the slag, and the most slag is accumulated.
For the benefit of setting the first inclined surface 11, when the filter element 2 is in a cylinder shape, the setting of the first inclined surface 11 is also beneficial to reducing the height of the filter element 2 in the water tank 1, avoiding collision of the filter element 2 with dishes or fruits and vegetables, and avoiding adding a dead space for the filter element 2.
For the bottom wall of the water tank 1, the first inclined surface 11 is further beneficial to increasing the surface area of the bottom wall of the water tank 1, other auxiliary equipment is convenient to arrange, specifically, the first inclined surface 11 can be further provided with a heater 12 with larger volume and larger power, the heater 12 is located outside the water tank 1, and therefore the time consumed for heating water is reduced.
The arrangement of the first inclined plane 11 is also beneficial to increasing the area contacted with the heater 12, improving the heat exchange efficiency and reducing the heat dissipation.
Because the waste residue can slide along the first inclined plane 11 and then gather at the low point of the first inclined plane 11, the low point of the first inclined plane 11 can be provided with a drainer 13 for conveniently removing the waste residue.
The drainer 13 can enable the conventional drainer 13 to be provided with a drain valve or a crushing cutter, achieves the effects of automatically draining water and crushing residues, and reduces the cleaning workload.
Since increasing the angle of the first inclined surface 11 may increase the volume of the water tank 1, but decrease the water saving capacity, the filter element 2 may be protruded toward the inner side of the water tank 1, the filter element 2 may be internally provided with a water collecting cavity, and the mesh 22 may be disposed on the side surface of the filter element 2.
The filter element 2 protrudes towards the inside of the basin 1, and the filter element 2 may have a square, rectangular or the like shape, but is preferably cylindrical or tubular in shape, so that the filter element 2 has other functions, for example, for rotatably connecting the spray arm 4 with the basin 1.
As for the washing pump 3, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the washing pump 3 includes an impeller 31, a motor 32, a transmission assembly 33 for transmission between the motor 32 and the impeller 31, and a water guide cover 34 accommodating the impeller 31.
The water guiding cover 34 may be also called a pump cover or a pump housing. The water guide cover 34 is used to form a chamber accommodating the impeller 31 and a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel communicating with the chamber.
In order to shorten the total length of the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel, further reduce the water storage capacity of the washing pump 3, and achieve the effect of saving water, the impeller 31 can be arranged on the inner side of the water tank 1, and the motor 32 can be arranged on the outer side of the water tank 1.
Meanwhile, the impeller 31 is arranged in the water tank 1, and occupies the inner space of the water tank 1, so that the effective volume in the water tank 1 is further reduced, and the water consumption of the washing machine is further reduced.
Since the impeller 31 is provided inside the water tank 1 and the motor 32 is provided outside the water tank 1, the water guide cover 34 can penetrate the water tank 1 to connect the impeller 31 and the motor 32 together, and thus the entire assembly and disassembly of the washing pump 3 can be realized.
However, the water guide cover 34 needs to open holes in the water tank 1 when penetrating through the water tank 1, and meanwhile, a sealing component needs to be arranged to prevent water leakage, and the sealing component can be aged and damaged, so that the use and maintenance cost of a user is increased.
To prevent sealing problems, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the transmission assembly 33 may be made to include a second magnet 332 for coupling with the impeller 31 and a first magnet 331 for coupling with the motor 32. That is, the motor 32 of the washing pump 3 and the impeller 31 are not directly connected through the transmission shaft, but are transmitted through magnetic force, so that the water tank 1 does not need to be perforated, a sealing member is not required, and the sealing problem is not required to be considered.
The first magnet 331 and the second magnet 332 are attracted, and the water guide cover 34 can be fixed with the water tank 1, so that screws are not needed, and the water tank 1 is prevented from being perforated.
To dissipate heat from the motor 32, as shown in fig. 5, the transmission assembly 33 may further include a mounting seat 333 for connecting the first magnet 331 with an output shaft of the motor 32, where the mounting seat 333 is provided with a first groove 334 for accommodating the first magnet 331 and a plurality of blades 335, and the plurality of blades 335 extend toward one side of the motor 32.
The mounting seat 333 is driven by the motor 32 to rotate, and the blades 335 drive air to flow, so that the motor 32 can be cooled.
In order to make the structure of the washing machine more compact, the conventional arrangement mode that the washing pump 3 and the spray arm 4 are respectively connected with the water tank 1 is changed, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, the spray arm 4 can be connected with the water guide cover 34, and one end of the impeller 31 is arranged in the spray arm 4.
One end of the impeller 31 is arranged in the spray arm 4, so that a water outlet channel of the washing pump 3 or the water guide cover 34 is formed by a water flow channel in the spray arm 4, the water flow route is shortened, and the water flow injection force is improved.
In order to enable the spray arm 4 to rotate relative to the water guide cover 34, a rotating wheel 41 is further arranged between the spray arm 4 and the water guide cover 34, the rotating wheel 41 is preferably fixedly connected with the spray arm 4, and the rotating wheel 41 is rotatably connected with the water guide cover 34.
The spray arm 4 is preferably connected to the rotatable wheel 41 by a snap fit connection, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the impeller 31.
In order to make the structure of the washing machine compact, the conventional arrangement mode that the filter element 2 and the water guide cover 34 are respectively connected with the water tank 1 is changed, and as shown in fig. 4 and 7, the water guide cover 34 can be connected with the water tank 1 through the filter element 2.
The water guide cover 34 is connected with the water tank 1 through the filter element 2, so that water rapidly enters the water guide cover 34 after passing through the filter element 2, and then flows into the spray arm 4 through the impeller 31, the flow path of the water is shortest, and the water flow injection force is improved most obviously.
As for the specific structure of the filter element 2, as shown in fig. 8, the filter element 2 includes a first pipe body 21, one end of the first pipe body 21 is connected with a water guiding cover 34, the other end of the first pipe body 21 is connected with a first inclined surface 11, and the mesh holes 22 are provided on the radial surface of the first pipe body 21. The mesh 22 may be a circular hole, or may be a long hole with a long cross section, or may be a mixture of a long hole and a circular hole formed in the first pipe 21.
The elongated holes facilitate the water flow, are not easy to block, but are not easy to filter the elongated scraps, such as leaves, so that the cleaning times of the washing pump 3 are increased.
In order to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the water guiding cover 34 and the filter 2, the water guiding cover 34 is connected with the filter 2 through a clamping structure, and the clamping structure comprises a buckle 341, a positioning rod 342 and a clamping groove 26 for accommodating the buckle 341 and the positioning rod 342.
The buckle 341 is matched and fixed with the clamping groove 26, so that the assembly and disassembly are convenient, and the positioning rod 342 is matched with the clamping groove 26 to position the water guide cover 34 and the filter element 2. The number of the buckle 341, the positioning rod 342 and the clamping groove 26 is preferably three, so that the deflection of the water guide cover 34 relative to the filter element 2 can be avoided, the disassembly and assembly positions can be reduced as much as possible, and the arrangement of the buckle 341 and the clamping groove 26 occupying the space for arranging the sieve holes 22 can be avoided.
In order to fix the filter element 2 with the water tank 1, the filter element 2 further includes a first cover 23 covering an end of the first tube 21, and the first cover 23 is disposed at an end of the first tube 21 opposite to the water guiding cover 34.
The first cover 23 may be provided with mounting holes for connecting and fixing the filter 2 with the sump 1. The first cover 23 may also be provided with a first ring 24 for guiding the water flow to facilitate the conversion of the water flow from a horizontal flow to an upward flow towards the impeller 31.
The second groove 25 for accommodating the second magnet 332 may be formed inside the first ring 24, so that the position of the impeller 31 is lowered, and thus the position of the spray arm 4 is lowered, so that the effective volume of the washing machine is increased.
The spray arm 4 and the first cover 23 may also be provided with a positioning hole or a positioning pin connected to the end of the impeller 31, so that the impeller 31 may rotate smoothly, and collision and abrasion between the impeller 31 and the water guiding cover 34 are avoided.
As shown in fig. 9, in order to prevent the fine waste residue from being deposited and difficult to clean after entering the filter element 2 and bacteria from growing in the second groove 25 due to water remaining, the first cover 23 may be provided with a residue discharging hole 27 and a water discharging hole 28 communicating with the second groove 25, so as to ensure the filter element 2 and the washing pump 3 to be clean and sanitary.
