In the washing process, if a user opens the washing tank cover 11 halfway, the sensor can automatically control the ultrasonic vibration source 31 to stop working, and the noise is prevented from generating bad influence on the user.
Because the drainage blocking cover 41 is provided with the honeycomb-shaped small holes with the hole diameter of 0.5 cm-1.5 cm, small articles or accessory parts of the small articles can be prevented from being discharged along with water flow in the cleaning process, the design is more suitable for ultrasonically cleaning particularly small articles, such as ear nails or objects with tiny components, and the like, and the loss of users is avoided.
The washing machine with the ultrasonic washing function is provided with the independent water inlet valve, water can be automatically fed through the independent pipeline and is separated from a water path of a water inlet pipe of the washing machine, and the water inlet is not influenced mutually; in addition, an independent drain valve is also arranged, so that the self-draining can be independently controlled; the control interface is separated and can be independently controlled, the function of ultrasonically cleaning the small articles and the conventional washing process can be simultaneously operated without mutual interference, and the ultrasonic cleaning of the small articles can be independently carried out under the condition of not cleaning clothes. Therefore, the design scheme is convenient for customers to select independently and has good applicability. Customers can do this at home without going to the point of sale or to a special cleaning service location, saving time and expense if they need to clean expensive luxury or glasses or other small items that cannot be cleaned by ordinary means.
Although the washing machine depicted in the drawing is a drum washing machine, the technical solution of the present invention is not limited to the drum washing machine, and the present invention can be applied to a pulsator washing machine or a multi-unit washing machine, so as to achieve the same advantageous effects.
The foregoing is directed to embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention in any way, and any alterations, modifications and improvements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
