The inner tub 6 of the washing machine is provided with a plurality of lifting ribs 61, and the outer tub 7 of the washing machine is provided with a damper 300 and a hanging spring 301 which are respectively connected with different parts of the outer frame of the washing machine. The concrete connection mode is as follows: the outer tub 7 has an upper hanging part and a lower connecting part, i.e., an upper part is hung on a side panel or a reinforcing beam of the washing machine via a hanging spring 301, a lower part is connected with a bottom plate of the washing machine via a damper 300 (e.g., a damper), and the damper 300 may also support the outer tub 7 to some extent. The outer barrel 7 is fixedly arranged in the mode, is more stable and reliable, can relieve the vibration of the washing machine in the use process and reduces the noise.
In order to stabilize the structure of the washing machine and reduce the shaking or vibration of the washing machine during operation, a balance weight 500 is further disposed on the outer tub 7 of the washing machine.
The inner tub 6 of the washing machine described above is provided with a plurality of lifting ribs 61. The lifting ribs 61 can drive clothes to rotate from bottom to top, so that the purpose of cleaning, washing and washing clothes is achieved, damage to the clothes is small, and washing performance is good.
Preferably, the atomization generator 203 employed in the present embodiment is an ultrasonic atomization generator.
The ultrasonic atomization generator breaks up a liquid water structure by utilizing electronic high-frequency oscillation to generate naturally elegant water mist, wherein the water mist is 1-5 microns of ultrafine particles, the uniformity is good, and extra heating or any chemical reagent is not needed. Compared with the direct heating atomization mode, the energy can be saved by 90 percent. In addition, the ultrasonic atomization generator releases a large amount of negative ions in the atomization process, the negative ions and smoke, dust and the like floating in the air generate electrostatic reaction to precipitate the negative ions, and meanwhile, harmful substances such as formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, bacteria and the like can be effectively removed, and multiple laundry care experiences can be obtained at the same time.
Example two
The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is: and a fan system is also arranged between the atomization unit and the outer barrel of the washing machine.
After the atomization unit generates atomized water, the atomized water quickly reaches the steam inlet 711 of the groove 71 under the auxiliary action of the fan system, and then is quickly sprayed to the heating pipe 8 through the spraying cavity 713 and the spraying holes 712 of the interlayer, so that a large amount of steam is generated efficiently, the efficiency of steam washing and nursing is greatly improved, the fan system accelerates the steam exchange rate, and the energy consumption is reduced.
Conceivably, the atomizing units can be arranged at the bottom of the washing machine or at the left corner and the right corner of the bottom, so that the water mist reaches the heating assembly in a shorter distance, and the utilization rate of the atomized water is improved.
The detailed description in the embodiments listed in the present invention is that the technical solutions of the present invention have significant differences from the prior art and can bring about beneficial effects, and for technical features naturally imaginable to those skilled in the art, no detailed description is given for brevity. Therefore, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that any techniques obtained by modification, decoration, combination or equivalent transformation may be included in the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
