Furthermore, the part of the fixed part, which is located inside the drainage hole and is at one end connected with the sheathing part 601, is provided with a smooth structure 602 for smooth sliding of the thread scraps during drainage;
preferably, the smooth structure 602 is a saddle-shaped structure with two high ends and a low middle;
further preferably, the upper surface of the smoothing structure is a circular arc surface which is bent downwards.
Specifically, the sleeving part 601 is a hollow sleeve, the bottom surface of the plugging piece 100 has an annular sealing part matched with the drainage hole, the connecting part 102 is a central rod arranged at the center of the annular sealing part, and the central rod is inserted into the sleeve and can slide relatively;
preferably, the plugging member 100 further comprises a sealing gasket 300, and the sealing gasket 300 is arranged on the circular sealing part.

As an embodiment of the present invention, the elastic component is a compression spring 200, the compression spring 200 is sleeved in the hollow slide of the sheathing part 601, one end of the compression spring 200 abuts against the sheathing part 601, and the other end abuts against the plugging piece 100.
Further, the end of the central rod of the plugging member 100 is provided with a fixing buckle 700, the upper end of the sheathing part 601 extends a certain distance towards the inside of the hollow slideway to form a limiting step, the compression spring 200 is sheathed on the central rod, one end of the compression spring abuts against the fixing buckle 700, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the limiting step.
This embodiment the shutoff part including the top cap, the up end of top cap is the arc surface, the lower terminal surface of top cap has the sealed complex sealing with the wash port.
Since the washing water flowing out through the drainage hole may enter the sheathing part 601 of the supporting member during drainage, and as time goes on, if thread scraps, dirt or sundries of the washing water enter the sheathing part 601, they may affect the components inside the sheathing part 601, such as the compression spring 200, and cause the components not to work normally, thereby affecting the normal returning and sealing effect of the blocking member, therefore, in order to ensure the relative stability of the working environment of the components inside the tight sheathing part 601, the sealing mechanism described in this embodiment includes a sealing member, and two ends of the sealing member are hermetically installed between the blocking member and the supporting member, so as to form a sealed space.
Preferably, the sealing member is a sealing bellows 1000, one end of the sealing bellows 1000 is connected with the blocking member in a sealing manner, and the other end of the sealing bellows 1000 is connected with the sheathing part of the supporting member in a sealing manner, so as to form a sealed space completely covering the interior of the sheathing part 601. The sealing corrugated sleeve 1000 has a sealing effect, can stretch along with the up-and-down movement of the top cover, is simple in structure and low in cost, and ensures the sealing performance of the working environment of the compression spring 200.
The assembling relationship between the components of the sealing mechanism of this embodiment is shown in fig. 7 to 9, and the supporting member 600 is first assembled to the flange 400 by two screws, and then the plugging member 100 with the gasket 300 is assembled to the hollow slide of the sheathing part 601, and the compression spring 200 is clamped from the other end by the fixing buckle 700, and the installation is completed.
The working principle of sealing is as follows: the compression spring 200 is compressed, one end acts on the supporting member 600, the other end acts on the fixing buckle 700, the fixing buckle 700 is transmitted to the whole plugging member 100 through the central rod of the plugging member 100, and the plugging member 100 compresses the inner barrel bottom under the action of the spring force to achieve the sealing effect. As shown in fig. 7.
The working principle of drainage is as follows: when the drainage is prepared, the inner barrel realizes the position coincidence of the sealing structure and the driving mechanism through a positioning structure, at the moment, the output end of the driving mechanism is propped against the fixing buckle 700 to drive the top cover to move upwards, and a gap is generated between the top cover and the drainage hole to realize the drainage. The compression spring 200 is also compressed to the extreme position at this time. After the drainage is finished, the output end of the driving mechanism retracts, and the top cover seals the drainage hole again under the action of the spring force. As shown in fig. 8.
When the drainage device of the embodiment is designed, the inner barrel and the sealing gasket are designed in a conical shape, so that when clothes are gathered near the drainage outlet, the foreign matters can be more conveniently discharged under the impact of water flow and the gravity of the foreign matters. And is also favorable for preventing the accumulation of thread scraps in long-time operation.
The sealed rubber pad is fixed on the top of the whole sealing structure, and when the foreign matters are tightly attached to the bottom of the inner barrel to be discharged, the friction damping of the inner barrel is smaller than the friction resistance of the rubber because the inner barrel is made of metal stainless steel, so that the foreign matters can be discharged more conveniently. And is also favorable for preventing the accumulation of thread scraps in long-time operation.
The support member 600 has a saddle-shaped structure to prevent the foreign matter from being caught more if it contacts the holder, assuming that the holder is a flat surface, when the foreign matter is discharged out of the inner tub. The damping of the semicircular structural design is reduced, and the accumulation of the thread scraps in long-time running is also favorably prevented.
The sleeving part 601 of the supporting member 600 can be in excessive fit with the central rod of the plugging member 100, so that thread scraps and foreign matters are effectively prevented from entering the spring cavity, and the spring is clamped when working.
Preferably, the driving mechanism may select a drain valve, and the pushing force of the drain valve is greater than the diameter of the inner cylinder of the fixing buckle 700, so as to ensure that the pushing force of the drain valve is acted on the fixing buckle, and prevent the pushing force from directly acting on the central rod of the plugging member 100, thereby avoiding the hidden danger of dropping off. Here, the fixing can also be realized by screw thread fit and elastic buckle.
As an implementation manner of this embodiment, the washing machine includes a water collection device 800 disposed outside the inner tub, the drainage sealing device further includes a driving mechanism 900, the driving mechanism 900 is mounted on the water collection device corresponding to the sealing mechanism, the driving mechanism has an output end capable of extending and retracting up and down:
when washing or rinsing, the output end of the driving device retracts, the sealing mechanism is in sealing fit with the drain hole, and washing water is contained in the inner barrel; when the water is drained, the output end of the driving device extends out to push the sealing mechanism open to be separated from the drain hole, the drain hole is opened, and the washing water in the inner barrel flows out of the drain hole to the water collecting device to be drained.
