Description

A drum washing machine

technical field

The present invention relates to washing machine equipment in household appliances, in particular to a top-loading drum washing machine, in particular to a drum washing machine whose drum is composed of a non-porous inner cylinder without dehydration holes and whose top is provided with a clothes feeding port .

Background technique

Washing machines can generally be classified into pulsator type, agitator type and drum type washing machines. Generally speaking, washing machines remove stains from laundry through the action of water and detergent.

The pulsator washing machine performs washing operations by rotating a pulsator in the center of the washing tub left and right. The agitator washing machine uses the friction between the water flow and the laundry to perform the washing operation by rotating the rotating blade in the center of the washing tank left and right. The drum type washing machine beats the clothes by rotating the drum to perform the washing operation.

A drum-type washing machine generally has a housing, an outer cylinder for containing washing water is installed inside, a drum for accommodating laundry is arranged inside the outer drum, and a motor and shaft for rotating the above-mentioned drum are arranged on the back of the outer drum.

In addition, there is also a control unit for controlling the laundry process, generally a control panel, water inlet and drainage mechanisms, and the like. The drum type washing machine removes stains contained in the laundry using the frictional force between the washing water stored in the water tank and the laundry in the drum, and the chemical action of the detergent contained in the washing water.

As an important part of the washing machine, the washing drum is not only used to accommodate the washing, constitute the washing container, but also participate in the washing work, especially the drum washing machine, which mainly relies on the rotation of the washing drum to lift and throw the clothes to form a beating effect , at the same time, the washing drum also has a certain rubbing effect on the clothes, thus relying on beating and washing to create the washing effect; and in addition to the pulsator washing, many of the existing pulsator washing machines also use the washing drum to wash at the same time, such as the popular on the market. The so-called "dual power" washing machine.

Compared with the pulsator washing machine, the weakness of the drum washing machine is that since the door is set on the front side, it is inconvenient to open the door to add clothes again after entering the water, and to put or take out the clothes, one has to bend down or squat down to get the clothes. It is very inconvenient for the elderly or pregnant women. Thus there has been a top-loading drum washing machine, which has the advantages that the drum washing machine is clean and wears little, and the upper opening of the pulsator washing machine takes and places clothes and can add clothes midway.

Now, because there is generally a large amount of dirt between the inner and outer cylinders of the drum washing machine, in order to avoid the pollution of the washing water, the applicant has previously proposed a non-porous drum washing machine that combines the inner and outer drums into one to overcome the gap between the inner and outer drums. The problem of dirt remaining in the room. Therefore, how to apply the non-porous drum technology to the top-loading washing machine has become a research and development hotspot.
