Description

Flocculation washing machine and control method thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of washing machines, and also relates to a flocculation washing machine, in particular to a power supply structure of a flocculation module, and also relates to a control method of the flocculation washing machine.

Background

With the improvement of living standard of people, a washing machine is one of the main household appliances in daily life, the washing process of the washing machine mainly comprises several stages of washing, rinsing and spin-drying, the washing machine enters water and detergent to wash clothes in the washing stage, after the washing stage, in order to rinse stains and residual detergent, more water needs to be fed or more rinsing times needs to be carried out to rinse the clothes, which consumes a large amount of water resources, even though the washing machine is a water-saving drum washing machine, the washing machine needs to be rinsed at least twice for rinsing the clothes, and the process consumes at least more than 30L of tap water. Sometimes, the clothes are less in stain or less in detergent, and the clothes can be rinsed clean twice, but since the user selects 3 times of rinsing, waste of water resources is caused, for example, the basic water consumption of two times of rinsing of a 6Kg full-automatic washing machine is about 100 liters. How to save water and electricity while washing clothes is one of the focuses of consumers.

Until now, no water purification and recycling device matched with a household washing machine exists, even if the washing machine with a water-saving function is used, a water storage tank is generally arranged at the side position of the washing machine, a water pump is adopted for water injection and drainage, and water can be generally injected once and rinsed for 3 times to achieve the water-saving function. However, the washed water cannot be stored, and the washing machine has a complex and bulky structure, which is not favorable for transportation, recovery and treatment. Due to the limitations of volume, structure, flexibility and the like, the original functions of the washing machine and the functions of the water-saving tank are fully exerted.

On the basis of the existing washing mode, in order to save water resources better, a lot of manufacturers invest a lot of research and development to produce washing machines with water purification and recycling devices and water saving functions.

Meanwhile, as the flocculation technology is gradually mature, the flocculation technology is gradually applied and popularized in the industrial field.
