Technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described by specific embodiment below.Obviously, it is retouched
The embodiment stated is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, instead of all the embodiments.Based on the embodiments of the present invention, originally
Field those of ordinary skill every other embodiment obtained without creative efforts, belongs to the present invention
The range of protection.
Embodiment 1
Please also refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 4, as shown, a kind of drainage pump of washing machine element kit, draining pump includes the pump housing 1,
The pump housing 1 is a tubular structure, and drain motor 5, other end setting opening is arranged in one end, and element kit 2 is protruded into from the opening
It is fixed inside to the pump housing 1.The vertical pump housing is provided with water inlet 3 and discharge outlet 4, the corresponding row of being close to of discharge outlet 4 on 1 two sides of the pump housing
The setting of 5 one end of hydroelectric machine, water inlet 3 is corresponding to be close to the setting of 2 side of element kit.Element kit in the present invention extends only to
At water inlet position, so that soft flocks is filtered the problem of will not resulting in blockage discharge outlet in water inlet by washing water.
Wherein discharge outlet and water inlet may also be arranged on pump housing the same side, can also be obliquely installed with respect to the pump housing, specific structure
Form is with no restrictions.
Element kit 2 includes filter core main body 21 and the rotating member being set in filter core main body 21, and rotating member operating is to incite somebody to action
The water flow of water inlet 3 is drained to inside filter core main body 21, and soft flocks collection space 25 is formed inside filter core main body 21.
Preferably, rotating member is set to 21 middle position of filter core main body, and stretches out 21 outside of filter core main body, the present embodiment
In, the height of filter core main body 21 is relatively low, and rotating member height is relatively high, rotating member stretch out the part face of filter core main body 21 into
The mouth of a river 3, the agitation from the washing water front that water inlet 3 enters in the pump housing 1 by rotating member drains in this way, so that washing water changes
Original flow direction (washing water flows directly into discharge outlet after entering the pump housing from water inlet in traditional approach) is washed what water inlet flowed into
Water is washed to being drained in filter core main body 21 on rear side of rotating member, and filter core main body 21 is mainly used for the soft flocks in filtration washing water,
Filtered water flow flows to the discharge outlet 4 of draining pump from outside filter core main body 21, and is expelled to outside washing machine through discharge outlet 4.
And filter the soft flocks being precipitated and then stayed in the soft flocks collection space 25 inside filter core main body 21, the soft flocks collection space 25 is separate
Discharge outlet 4 is arranged, and will not impact to discharge outlet and drain motor.Filter core main body also non-face water inlet setting simultaneously,
Water inlet will not be impacted, guarantee the normal work of draining pump.

Or other shapes etc..And filtering screen can be one layer or the multilayered structure of internal and external partition setting, the mesh between multiple filtration mesh enclosure
Size can be different, and internal mesh enclosure specifically may be selected when design and use big mesh, filter big soft flocks, external mesh enclosure is using small net
Relatively small soft flocks is filtered in hole, on the one hand can distinguish soft flocks be collected by filtration in this way, easy cleaning, another aspect soft flocks point
It is distributed in and makes the soft flocks amount on single one filtering screen relatively fewer on multiple filtration mesh enclosure, reduce the shadow filtered to soft flocks
It rings, increases the service life of filter assemblies, reduce user's clearing times, reduce the amount of labour.
Preferably, rotating member is a turbine structure, and turbine structure is rotatably dispose at filtering screen medium position, draining electricity
The rotation of machine 5, which is drawn water, causes stress the dynamic turbine structure operating of difference band.By setting turbine structure for rotating member, in this way without outside
Driving part, which is arranged, drives rotating member rotation, when draining pump drainage, rotate by drain motor and generate pressure difference, in negative pressure
Lower turbine structure rotation is acted on, the use of components is saved, simplifies the structure type of filter assemblies, reduce cost.
Wherein, in the present embodiment, turbine structure includes shaft 22 and the blade 23 that is set in shaft 22, and blade is inclination
Setting, turbine structure rotate in the counterclockwise direction under the action of drawing water negative pressure.Specific blade lean direction, tilt angle, whirlpool
The rotation direction of wheel construction, which is subject to, is drained to 21 inside of filter core main body for washing water, and specific design form is with no restrictions.
Preferably, the gravity sensor to detect soft flocks amount of storage in soft flocks collection space 25 is provided on filtering screen
(not shown) is provided with the attention display being electrically connected with gravity sensor on the operation panel of washing machine.By the way that gravity is arranged
The accumulating amount of sensor detection soft flocks can remind user's cleaning treatment in time, and the normal filtration of washing machine is facilitated to use.
A sealing cover 24 is also connected on element kit 2, element kit 2 is removable installed in pump by the sealing cover 24
In body 1.By the way that element kit to be removably connected on washing machine, periodically cleaned without professional, user can be voluntarily
Cleaning treatment as needed, it is easy to operate.
Embodiment 2
Remaining is same as Example 1, the difference is that, rotating member is more than one be rotatably dispose in inside filter core main body 21
Side shape filtering screen, the structure type of the filtering screen enable to drive its rotation drainage under the suction function of drain motor
Washing water.
Embodiment 3
Remaining is same as Example 1, the difference is that, rotating member is a screw rod, is provided with blade on screw rod, is arranged
Hydroelectric machine rotation, which is drawn water, to be caused stress difference and acts on blade, and blade drives screw rod rotation drainage washing water.
The invention discloses a kind of drainage pump of washing machine element kit, which is set to the water inlet of draining pump
Locate, including filter core main body and rotating member, the flow direction of water flow is directly from water inlet to discharge outlet, in the present invention in traditional approach
The distal end filter core body interior that the water flow of water inlet is drained to discharge outlet is operated by rotating member, filter core body interior forms hair
Consider collection space to be worth doing, filtered water flow flows to discharge outlet from filter core body exterior, and is expelled to outside washing machine through discharge outlet.It is logical
The operating for crossing rotating member changes the trend of water flow, so that soft flocks is collected in discharge outlet remote location, soft flocks heap when avoiding draining
The problem of product blocking discharge outlet, occurs, and simplifies filter core composed structure, facilitates user's self cleaning.
Rotating member in the present invention can be under the rotary action of drain motor, and pressure difference caused by being drawn water, which drives, to be occurred to turn
It is dynamic that other configuration driven component is not necessarily to drainage, it is easy to operate, simplify draining pump configuration.
