Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments are described clearly and completely below, and the following embodiments are used for illustrating the present invention and are not used for limiting the scope of the present invention.

Example one

As shown in fig. 1 to 10, the present embodiment discloses a wall-mounted washing machine including a tub 1, a drain device, an overflow pipe 51, the drain device including:

the drain valve component is communicated with the outer barrel 1 and discharges water in the outer barrel 1;

a drain pipe 3 for discharging the water discharged from the drain valve assembly to the outside of the washing machine;

and a drain tee structure 4 for communicating the drain valve assembly, the overflow pipe 51 and the drain pipe 3.

In the above scheme, the wall-mounted washing machine is different from a common drum washing machine in that the wall-mounted washing machine is arranged on a plane, and the wall-mounted washing machine is used by being hung on a wall. The wall-mounted washing machine comprises a drainage device, wherein the drainage device comprises a drainage valve assembly which forcibly discharges water in an outer cylinder 1 from the inside of the outer cylinder 1 to the outside in a corresponding washing stage, the water which is forcibly discharged out of the outer cylinder 1 is discharged out of the washing machine through a drainage pipe 3, and the drainage pipe 3 is a hose which is generally used for finally discharging the water out of the washing machine, so that the damage caused by vibration, collision and the like is easy to occur. The wall-mounted washing machine generally further includes a ventilation device 5 for ventilating air between the inside and the outside of the tub 1 to prevent the tub 1 from being damaged due to the inability to ventilate. The ventilating device 5 includes an overflow pipe 51, which can discharge the foam and water overflowing from the inside of the outer tub 1 to the outside of the washing machine, and can ventilate the inside of the outer tub 1. The drainage hose of the common wall-mounted washing machine extends to the outside of the washing machine after penetrating through the rear panel, and plays a role in fixing by penetrating through the rear panel, but the hose is damaged due to the fact that sharp edges or rib structures possibly existing on the edge of a hole in the rear panel damage the hose when the hose vibrates, and the damage rate of the hose is high. Generally, the overflow pipe 51 overflows the water in the outer cylinder 1 from the overflow pipe 51 to the outside of the washing machine when the washing machine works abnormally, but if the overflow pipe 51 is directly connected to the outside of the washing machine and the drain pipe 3 is also connected to the outside of the washing machine, a plurality of components are arranged. In addition, when the overflow pipe 51 is directly connected to the drain pipe 3, the drain pipe 3 is a hose, which may cause leakage or shaking and detachment. In order to solve the problem, the drainage device of the wall-mounted washing machine further comprises a drainage three-way structure 4 which is used for fixing the drainage pipe 3 and the overflow pipe 51 and preventing the drainage pipe 3 and the overflow pipe 51 from shaking and vibrating during drainage to cause damage.

Further, the drainage three-way structure 4 includes:

one end of the water inlet end 41 is communicated with the drain valve assembly;

an overflow end 42, one end of the overflow end 42 is communicated with an overflow pipe 51;

a water outlet end 43, one end of the water outlet end 43 is communicated with the water outlet pipe 3;

the outlet end 43 is connected to the inlet end 41, and the overflow end 42 is connected to the outlet end 43.

In the above solution, the drain tee structure 4 includes a water inlet end 41 communicated with the drain valve assembly, an overflow end 42 communicated with the overflow pipe 51, and a water outlet end 43 communicated with the drain pipe 3, wherein the water outlet end 43 is connected to the water inlet end 41, so that water discharged from the drain valve assembly can be discharged to the drain pipe 3 through the water outlet end 43 and then discharged to the outside of the washing machine, and the overflow end 42 is connected to the water outlet end 43, so that water and/or foam overflowed from the overflow pipe 51 is directly discharged from the overflow end 42 to the water outlet end 43 and then discharged to the outside of the washing machine through the drain pipe 3, thereby preventing abnormal noise caused by backflow of water from the water inlet end 41 into the overflow pipe 51 when the overflow end 42 is connected to the water inlet end 41.

Further, the other end of the water outlet end 43 not communicating with the water outlet pipe 3 is connected to the water inlet end 41, and the other end of the overflow end 42 not communicating with the overflow pipe 51 is connected to the water outlet end 43.

Further, the water outlet end 43 is connected to the other end of the water inlet end 41 which is not communicated with the drainage valve assembly, and the overflow end 42 is connected to the other end of the water outlet end 43 which is not communicated with the drainage pipe 3.

In the above scheme, the connection mode among the water outlet end 43, the overflow end 42 and the water inlet end 41 makes the three-way drain structure 4 compact and occupies a small space.

Further, the other end of the water inlet end 41, which is not communicated with the drain valve assembly, extends towards the wall and is connected to one end of the outer barrel 1, which is close to the wall. The water outlet end 43 and the overflow end 42 of the three-way drain structure 4 are closer to the rear end of the washing machine, so that the drain pipe 3 connected with the water outlet end 43 can be hidden conveniently, and the overflow pipe 51 can be installed conveniently.

Furthermore, the water inlet end 41 is a hard tubular structure, and the water outlet pipe 3 communicated with the water outlet end 43 and the overflow pipe 51 communicated with the overflow end 42 are fixedly supported at one end of the outer cylinder 1 close to the wall. The water can be smoothly discharged after being led out to the rear side of the outer barrel 1, so that the drain pipe 3 is prevented from being exposed and not attractive due to the fact that the drain pipe 3 is arranged at the front end of the outer barrel 1, and the drain hose is prevented from being damaged due to shaking and vibration caused by incapability of fixing in the process of connecting the drain hose and a floor drain; in addition, the water inlet end 41 is of a hard tubular structure, so that the water outlet pipe 3 and the overflow pipe 51 can be fixedly supported, and the water outlet pipe 3 and the overflow pipe 51 are prevented from shaking and vibrating during water drainage.

Further, the other end of the water inlet end 41 extends to the wall direction in a gradually-lowered manner. So that the water in the water inlet end 41 cannot flow back to the drain valve assembly or the water stored in the water inlet end 41 cannot be drained completely.

Further, the water outlet end 43 is connected to the lowest portion of the water inlet end 41 and extends vertically downward.

In the above scheme, the water in the water inlet end 41 is drained completely without residue, the water outlet end 43 extending vertically downwards is more suitable for draining water, the water can be drained completely under the action of gravity, and resources are saved without external force.

Furthermore, the overflow end 42 is inclined to the water outlet end 43, and the connection between the overflow end 42 and the water outlet end 43 is the lowest position of the overflow end 42. So that the water in the overflow end 42 will not flow back to the overflow pipe 51, or the water stored in the overflow end 42 can not be discharged completely without residue,

furthermore, reinforcing ribs 44 for increasing the connection strength are arranged between the water outlet end 43 and the water inlet end 41, and between the water inlet end 41 and the overflow end 42.

preferably, one end of the overflow pipe 51 is communicated with the highest water level inside the outer cylinder 1 through the exhaust hole 53, and the other end is communicated with the water outlet end 43 of the drain tee structure 4.

The overflow pipe 51 is arranged at the rear part of the outer cylinder 1, so that the space at the side part of the outer cylinder 1 is saved compared with the space at the side part of the outer cylinder 1, the volume of the wall-mounted washing machine is reduced, and the overflow pipe 51 can be arranged between rib structures at the rear wall of the outer cylinder 1 and does not occupy more space at the rear wall of the outer cylinder 1. The rear wall of the outer cylinder 1 comprises an exhaust hole 53 communicated with the inside of the outer cylinder 1, and the exhaust hole 53 is arranged on the rear wall of the outer cylinder 1, so that the overflow pipe 51 can be conveniently connected to the rear wall of the outer cylinder 1. The overflow pipe 51 has one end communicating with an exhaust hole 53 provided above the rear wall of the outer tub 1 and the other end communicating with a drainage device, and discharges the foam and water overflowing from above the outer tub 1 to the outside of the washing machine through the drainage device. In a preferred embodiment, the overflow pipe 51 is communicated with the highest water level inside the outer tub 1 through the exhaust hole 53, so that the problems of foam and water accidental overflow and poor washing caused by low position of the exhaust hole 53 are avoided.
