Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 4, the automatic putting device with a water quality treatment function for a washing machine, provided by the embodiment of the invention, comprises a putting box, wherein the putting box comprises a box body 1 and a box cover 2, the box cover 2 is of a hollow structure, a softening flow channel 21 is formed in the box cover 2, a softening cavity 11 is formed in the box body 1, a softening material capable of softening hard water is arranged in the softening cavity 11, an outlet 212 of the softening flow channel is communicated with an inlet of the softening cavity 11, an outlet 111 of the softening cavity is communicated with an inner tub of the washing machine, and an inlet 211 of the softening flow channel is connected with a softening cavity inlet valve 112.
According to the automatic putting device of the washing machine and the roller washing machine with the water quality treatment function, which are provided by the embodiment of the invention, the box cover 2 is of a hollow structure, the softening flow channel 21 is formed in the box cover 2, the softening cavity 11 is arranged in the box body 1, and the softening flow channel 21 is communicated with the softening cavity 11. Therefore, when hard water softening is needed, the water inlet valve 112 of the softening cavity is opened, hard water enters the softening cavity 11 of the box body 1 from the softening flow channel 21 in the box cover 2 to be softened, and softened water enters the inner barrel of the washing machine from the outlet 111 of the softening cavity, so that the function of softening hard water is realized. In the embodiment of the invention, the softening flow channel 21 is integrated in the box cover 2 of the putting box, and the softening cavity 11 is integrated in the box body 1 of the putting box, so that a complex pipeline does not need to be connected outside the putting box, the cost is saved, the box body 1 and the box cover 2 only need to be covered during assembly, the assembly process is simplified, the integral structure is compact, the flow channels are all positioned in the putting box, and the flow channels cannot be damaged due to the vibration of the washing machine.
Because the hardness of the accessed water can be changed, sometimes the hardness is high or sometimes the hardness is low, when the hardness of the water meets the washing requirement, the water can be directly introduced into the inner barrel for washing without softening. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, a main water inlet channel 22 may be provided in the box cover 2, a main water inlet valve 223 is connected to an inlet 221 of the main water inlet channel, an outlet 222 of the main water inlet channel is communicated with the water outlet 10 of the box body, an outlet 111 of the softening chamber is communicated with the main water inlet channel 22, and a water hardness detector 3 is provided in the main water inlet channel 22. Therefore, water is fed from the main water inlet channel 22 in a normal condition, and when the water hardness detector 3 in the main water inlet channel 22 detects that the water hardness is higher than a preset value, a control signal can be sent out to control the main water inlet valve 223 to be closed and control the softening cavity water inlet valve 112 to be opened, so that the hardness of the water is reduced. Thereby, the softening material can be saved.
The main water inlet channel 22 can also be arranged outside the throwing box, but the scheme integrated in the throwing box has a more compact structure and a simpler assembly process.
The positions of the inlet and the outlet of the softening chamber 11 can be selected in various ways, for example, the inlet and the outlet of the softening chamber 11 can be arranged on the upper part of the softening chamber 11, because the softening material can generate resistance to the circulation of water, and water needs certain pressure when passing through the softening material, therefore, because the space resistance on the upper part of the softening chamber 11 is small, part of water is directly discharged from the outlet without passing through the softening material, thereby affecting the softening effect. Therefore, in order to ensure that all the water passes through the softening material, it is preferable to provide the inlet of the softening chamber 11 at the lower end of the softening chamber 11 and the outlet 111 of the softening chamber at the upper end of the softening chamber 11. Therefore, as the water in the softening chamber 11 increases, the water level in the softening chamber 11 rises gradually, and the water pressure increases gradually, so that the water can smoothly pass through the softening material and finally enter the main water inlet flow passage 22 in the box cover 2 from the outlet at the upper part of the softening chamber 11.
Since the softening flow channel 21 is located above the softening chamber 11, the inlet of the softening chamber 11 is located at the lower end of the softening chamber 11. Therefore, in order to connect the outlet 212 of the softening flow channel with the inlet at the lower end of the softening chamber 11, as shown in fig. 4, a diversion chamber 12 may be provided in the box body 1, the diversion chamber 12 is provided in the vertical direction, the upper end of the diversion chamber 12 is communicated with the outlet 212 of the softening flow channel, and the lower end of the diversion chamber 12 is communicated with the inlet of the softening chamber 11. The diversion cavity 12 can be integrally formed with the box body 1, so that the structure is compact and no additional installation process is needed.
The softening material may be fixed in a manner shown in fig. 2, that is, an upper partition 113 and a lower partition 114 are disposed in the softening chamber 11, the softening material is filled between the upper partition 113 and the lower partition 114, and through holes which allow water to pass through but do not allow the softening material to pass through are formed in the upper partition 113 and the lower partition 114, the softening material is generally a granular material, and gaps between granules allow water to pass through. Wherein, the inlet of the softening chamber 11 is arranged below the lower baffle plate 114, and the outlet 111 of the softening chamber is arranged above the upper baffle plate 113. This solution enables the softened material to form a fixed barrier in the softening chamber 11, separating the inlet and outlet of the softening chamber 11, ensuring that all the water entering the softening chamber 11 passes through the softened material.
Specifically, the outlet 111 of the softening chamber may be located at the top of the softening chamber 11, the bottom surface of the box cover 2 is provided with a backflow port 231 corresponding to the outlet 111 of the softening chamber, and the outlet 111 of the softening chamber is in sealed butt joint with the backflow port 231. As shown in fig. 3, a backflow flow channel 23 is formed in the box cover 2, a first end of the backflow flow channel 23 is communicated with the backflow port 231, and a second end of the backflow flow channel 23 is communicated with the main water inlet flow channel 22. When the water is softened, the water enters the softening cavity 11 to gradually raise the liquid level in the softening cavity 11, finally overflows the top outlet of the softening cavity 11, enters the backflow channel 23 through the backflow port 231, enters the main water inlet channel 22 through the backflow channel 23, and finally flows into the inner barrel. The structure can realize the communication between the softening cavity 11 and the main water inlet flow passage 22 without adding an additional connecting pipe, and has compact structure and simple assembly.
It should be noted that the second end of the return flow channel 23 is communicated with the main water inlet channel 22, and includes that the second end of the return flow channel 23 is directly communicated with the main water inlet channel 22, and also includes that the second end of the return flow channel 23 is indirectly communicated with the main water inlet channel 22, as shown in fig. 3, the second end of the return flow channel 23 is connected to a pipeline between the inlet 221 of the main water inlet channel and the main water inlet valve 223.
In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the softening chamber 11 can be made into a box-like structure with an open upper end, which is the outlet 111 of the softening chamber. Therefore, the softening cavity 11 can be formed only by vertically arranging a plurality of partition plates in the box body 1, and the manufacturing process is simple. Alternatively, a top cover may be provided on the top of the softening chamber 11, and the top cover may be provided with an outlet 111 of the softening chamber.
Softening is no longer possible because the softening material will saturate after a period of use. Therefore, it is necessary to detect whether the softened water hardness is up to standard, and if the water hardness is not up to standard, the softened material needs to be regenerated or replaced. For ease of detection, a water hardness detector may be provided at the outlet 111 of the softening chamber or in the return flow channel 23. However, this solution requires two water hardness detectors in total, and is costly. Preferably, as shown in fig. 3, the water hardness detector 3 in the main water inlet flow passage 22 may be disposed between the second end of the return flow passage 23 and the outlet 222 of the main water inlet flow passage. Thus, the softened water can be detected for hardness by the water hardness detector 3 in the main water inlet flow passage 22, so that only one water hardness detector 3 needs to be provided, saving cost and simplifying the installation process.
In order to facilitate the regeneration of the softened material, a regeneration system may be integrated in the dosing box. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, a salt cavity 13 is arranged in the box body 1, solid regenerated salt is arranged in the salt cavity 13, a salt cavity water inlet channel 24 is formed in the box cover 2, a salt cavity water inlet valve 243 is arranged at an inlet 241 of the salt cavity water inlet channel, an outlet 242 of the salt cavity water inlet channel is communicated with an inlet of the salt cavity 13, the salt cavity 13 is communicated with the softening cavity 11 through a communicating pipe 244, the communicating pipe 244 is connected in series with a one-way valve (not shown in the figure), and the one-way valve only allows water to flow from the salt cavity 13 to the softening cavity 11. Therefore, when the softened material needs to be regenerated, the water inlet valve 243 of the salt cavity is opened, water enters the salt cavity 13 from the water inlet runner 24 of the salt cavity and is mixed with the regenerated salt in the salt cavity 13 to form salt water, the salt water enters the softening cavity 11 from the communicating pipe 244, and the sodium ions of the salt water can replace the calcium ions and the magnesium ions on the softened material, so that the regeneration of the softened material is realized. The replaced brine is discharged into the inner barrel from the outlet 111 of the softening cavity. In addition, since the connection pipe 244 is connected in series with a check valve, the check valve only allows water to flow from the salt chamber 13 to the softening chamber 11, so that the water in the softening chamber 11 does not enter the salt chamber 13, thereby preventing the salt chamber 13 from being polluted.
The regenerating salt may be sodium chloride, or other chemicals that can replace calcium and magnesium ions without increasing the hardness of water, and is not limited herein.
In order to ensure that the brine entering the softening chamber 11 sufficiently reacts with the softening material, it is preferable to communicate the outlet end of the communicating pipe 244 with the lower end of the softening chamber 11, thereby allowing the brine to pass through the softening material entirely. In addition, because the regeneration salt is solid, a large amount of solid regeneration salt is deposited at the bottom of the salt chamber 13, in order to avoid undissolved solid regeneration salt from entering the softening chamber 11, the inlet end of the communicating pipe 244 is preferably communicated with the upper end of the salt chamber 13, and because the upper end of the salt chamber 13 is completely dissolved salt water, the solid regeneration salt can be effectively prevented from entering the softening chamber 11. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, a communication pipe 244 is provided in the salt chamber 13, a lower end of the communication pipe 244 communicates with a lower end of the softening chamber 11, and an upper end of the communication pipe 244 extends to an upper end in the salt chamber 13.
When the regeneration salt in the salt chamber 13 is insufficient, the effect of regeneration of the softened material is affected. Therefore, in order to accurately detect the amount of regenerated salt in the salt chamber 13 and to add it at a time, it is preferable to provide a brine concentration detection means 4 as shown in fig. 2, and the brine concentration detection means 4 can detect the brine concentration in the salt chamber 13. Therefore, when the brine concentration is smaller than the preset value, the brine concentration detection device 4 can send out an alarm signal to remind a user of adding regenerated salt. Specifically, the brine concentration detection device 4 may employ a reed pipe liquid level meter.
Because the water in the softening cavity 11 overflows from bottom to top and enters the backflow channel, when the softening process is finished, residual water exists in the softening cavity 11, and bacteria are easy to breed and pollute the softening cavity 11 if the residual water is not drained. Therefore, in order to facilitate the discharge of the residual water in the softening chamber 11, as shown in fig. 2 and 4, a drain valve 115 is preferably provided at the bottom of the softening chamber 11. The residual water in the softening chamber 11 can be smoothly discharged by opening the drain valve 115, and the outlet of the drain valve 115 can be connected to the inner tub to discharge the residual water through the drain port of the inner tub.
Specifically, the softening material may be resin particles.
In order to put washing powder or other solid builders, as shown in fig. 2, a washing powder putting opening 5 is formed in the box cover 2, the washing powder putting opening 5 corresponds to the main water inlet flow passage 22, washing powder can be put into the main water inlet flow passage 22 through the washing powder putting opening 5, and the washing powder is flushed into the inner barrel through water in the main water inlet flow passage 22. Since the width of the flow passage is usually designed to be relatively narrow, in order to prevent the washing powder from being thrown out of the main water inlet flow passage 22, as shown in fig. 3, it is preferable to form an enlarged section 223 with a wider width at a position of the main water inlet flow passage 22 corresponding to the washing powder throwing opening 5, and the enlarged section 223 can cover the projection range of the washing powder throwing opening 5, so as to prevent the washing powder from being thrown out of the main water inlet flow passage 22. In order to increase the impact force of the water flow, it is preferable that the bottom surface of the enlarged section 223 is inclined downward in the flow direction of the water. Therefore, the flow velocity of the water flow at the expansion section 223 can be increased, so that the water flow has larger impact force, and washing powder can be conveniently flushed into the inner barrel.
As shown in fig. 3, a plurality of guiding ribs 224 extending in different directions may be further disposed at an inlet side of the expanding section 223, and an included angle between the plurality of guiding ribs 224 gradually increases along a flow direction of the water flow, so that the water flow entering the expanding section 223 may be diffused to flow to each region of the expanding section 223, thereby preventing the washing powder from being locally remained on the expanding section 223.
As shown in fig. 2 and 5, in order to prevent water in the main water inlet passage 22 from splashing out of the detergent input opening 5, it is preferable to provide an openable and closable detergent cover 51 at the detergent input opening 5.
During the washing process, the generated foam can adhere to the inner wall of the observation window, thereby influencing the observation sight of a user. In order to solve the problems, a spraying system can be integrated in the putting box and used for cleaning the observation window. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, a spray water flow passage 26 is provided in the box cover 2, an inlet 261 of the spray water flow passage is provided with a spray water inlet valve 263, an outlet 262 of the spray water flow passage is connected with a spray pipe (not shown in the figure), and an outlet of the spray pipe is opposite to the inner side of the observation window of the washing machine. Therefore, when foam is attached to the inner wall of the observation window, the spraying water inlet valve 263 can be opened, and water flows through the spraying water flow passage 26 and the spraying pipe to be sprayed to the inner wall of the observation window, so that the foam attached to the inner wall of the observation window is washed away, and a user can observe the washing state in the tub conveniently.
