A rotary tub assembly 200 of a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 5.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, a rotary tub assembly 200 of a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rotary tub 210 and a water guide cover 220.

The barrel body of the rotary barrel 210 is formed by welding a material sheet after being rolled, a patterned region 2121 and a mounting region 2122 are formed on the peripheral wall of the rotary barrel 210, and the patterned region 2121 and the mounting region 2122 are arranged at intervals. The water guide cover 220 is provided in the rotary tub 210, and the water guide cover 220 itself defines the drainage passage 240, or the water guide cover 220 and the rotary tub 210 together define the drainage passage 240.

Wherein the water guide cover 220 is installed in the installation region 2122, and the water guide cover 220 is detachably connected to the rotary tub 210, and the installation region 2122 and the pattern region 2121 are respectively spaced from the welding seam 214 on the rotary tub 210. Specifically, before the material sheet is rounded, the pattern region 2121 may be formed with washing lines, the mounting region 2122 may be formed with fixing holes 213, and after the material sheet is rounded, the two ends of the material sheet in butt joint are welded and connected by using a welding process, so that a weld is formed at the butt joint of the material sheet.

According to the utility model discloses washing machine's rotatory bucket subassembly 200, through with decorative pattern region 2121 and installation region 2122 respectively with the welding seam 214 interval arrangement that tablet butt joint department formed, be about to decorative pattern region 2121 and installation region 2122 and the both ends interval arrangement of tablet to reserve the position of welding frock centre gripping at the both ends of tablet, make things convenient for the follow-up welding that welds.

In order to better ensure that the welding tool can clamp the material sheet, the edges of the patterned area 2121 and the mounting area 2122 and the positions of the two ends of the material sheet are respectively set to be greater than or equal to 20 mm.

That is, as shown in fig. 2, a distance L1 between pattern region 2121 and weld joint 214 in the circumferential direction of rotary tub 210 is greater than or equal to 20mm, and a distance L2 between an edge of mounting region 2122 close to weld joint 214 and weld joint 214 in the circumferential direction of rotary tub 210 is greater than or equal to 20mm, so as to satisfy the clamping requirement of the welding tool.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the weld 214 extends along the axial direction of the rotating barrel 210, the mounting region 2122 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 213, the plurality of fixing holes 213 are arranged along the circumferential intervals of the rotating barrel 210, and the plurality of fixing holes 213 of each row are arranged along the axial intervals of the rotating barrel 210. The water guide cover 220 is coupled with the rotary tub 210 by a fastener engaged with the fixing hole 213. The edge of the mounting region 2122 close to the weld 213 is understood here to be the edge of the fastening opening 213 close to the weld 213.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the water guide cover 220 is coupled to the rotary tub 210 by two rows of fasteners engaged with the fixing holes 213, wherein a distance between an edge of each fixing hole 213 and an end of the material sheet is set to be greater than or equal to 20mm in one row of the two rows of fixing holes 213 closer to the end of the material sheet, thereby preventing the weld from interfering with the arrangement of the fixing holes 213.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the inner diameter of the rotary tub 210 is gradually increased from the bottom to the top. That is, the rotary tub 210 may be configured in a reverse truncated cone shape having a large top and a small bottom, and may facilitate water to climb up into the drainage channel 240, thereby improving a dewatering effect.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the water inlet 221 of the drain channel 240 is positioned above the water outlet 211 of the drain channel 240. In the dehydration, the liquid rising up from the rotary tub 210 due to the centrifugal force enters the drainage channel 240 through the water inlet 221, and is then discharged through the water outlet 211 by the gravity.

Therefore, by connecting the water guide cover 220 to the rotary tub 210, it is not necessary to provide an additional structure on the cabinet 100 of the washing machine 1 or to provide the cabinet 100 with an internal and external double-layer structure to guide water in the dehydration process, so that the material selection of the cabinet 100 is not limited, for example, a metal plate or other material may be used, thereby greatly improving the appearance.

Wherein a flow area of the drain passage 240 at an upstream position is smaller than a flow area of the drain passage 240 at a downstream position in a flow direction of the liquid in the drain passage 240.

In some examples, the flow area of the drain 240 gradually increases in the direction of flow of the liquid within the drain 240. For example, the drainage channel 240 extends along the axial direction (the up-down direction shown in fig. 4) of the rotary tub 210, and the flow area of the drainage channel 240 gradually increases along the up-down direction, so as to ensure smooth drainage of water, prevent the rotary tub 210 from being eccentric due to the problem of water accumulation at the upper portion of the rotary tub 210, and ensure the safety during dewatering.

From this, through setting the flow area that is located the upper reaches position with drainage channel 240 to being less than its flow area that is located the low reaches position, guarantee at the drainage in-process, water can in time discharge, prevent that rotatory bucket 210 top from leading to rotatory bucket 210 to take place off-centre because of ponding to appear, avoid rotatory bucket 210 at the box of during operation striking washing machine, security when guaranteeing the dehydration promotes user's use and experiences.

Alternatively, the cross-sectional shape of the drain 240 may be generally triangular. For example, the water guide cover 220 forms an arc-shaped cover plate bending in a direction away from the center of the rotary tub 210, and a triangle with one arc-shaped side is defined between the water guide cover 220 and the rotary tub 210, so that the structure is stable and reliable.

As shown in fig. 2 to 5, the circumferential wall of the rotary tub 210 is formed with a water guide structure 260, the water guide structure 260 is protrudingly provided toward the outside of the rotary tub 210, the water guide structure 260 is located in the mounting region 2122, and the water guide cover 220 is provided at the water guide structure 260.

From this, through the water guide structure 260 that sets up the rotatory bucket 210 of inverted circular truncated cone shape and the perisporium of the rotatory bucket 210 of protrusion, can compromise water and climb and the influence of whereabouts in-process centrifugal force, improve dehydration effect, through set up additional strengthening on water guide structure 260, further improved overall structure's intensity, make its non-deformable, guarantee dehydration process's stability, improve dehydration effect.

Wherein, the water guide structure 260 has a reinforcing structure (not shown), for example, the lower surface of the water guide structure 260 is formed into a triangle, and the structure forms at least a part of the reinforcing structure, so that the stability of the triangle is utilized to improve the structural strength of the water guide structure 260, ensure the stability of the whole structure in the dehydration process, and improve the dehydration effect.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 5, the water guide structure 260 includes a first water guide section 261, an intermediate water guide section 263 and a second water guide section 262, the first water guide section 261, the intermediate water guide section 263 and the second water guide section 262 are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating tub 210, two ends of the intermediate water guide section 263 are respectively in transitional connection with the first water guide section 261 and the second water guide section 262, and by forming three water guide sections in the water guide structure 260, the structural strength of the water guide structure 260 is enhanced through the water guide sections, so that the water guide structure 260 is stable and is not easy to deform.

In some embodiments, the outer contour line of the cross section of the intermediate water guiding section 263 forms an arc line, and the arc line takes the center of the rotating barrel 210 as a center, that is, the outer contour line of the cross section of the intermediate water guiding section 263 forms a smooth arc section, and the radius of the intermediate water guiding section 263 is slightly larger than that of the rotating barrel 210 at the cross section, so that water can flow to the intermediate water guiding section 263 more easily under the action of centrifugal force, and the dewatering effect is improved; and the manufacturing and molding of the middle water guide section 263 are facilitated, and the manufacturing process is simplified.

In some examples, the inner diameter of any of the intermediate water guiding section 263 is not smaller than the inner diameter of the portion of the intermediate water guiding section 263 above that location.

For another example, the inner diameter of the middle water guiding section 263 is gradually increased from top to bottom, that is, the inner diameter of any position of the middle water guiding section 263 is greater than the inner diameter of the upper portion of the middle water guiding section 263, and an inclined section that gradually inclines outwards is formed on the longitudinal cross-sectional view of the water guiding structure 260 and the inner side of the middle water guiding section 263, so that the centrifugal force at the bottom of the drainage channel 240 is greater than the centrifugal force at the top of the drainage channel, and the water entering the drainage channel 240 can more easily reach the bottom of the drainage channel and be discharged to the outside, thereby further improving the dewatering effect.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length of the outer contour of the cross section of the intermediate water guiding segment 263 to the length of the outer contour of the cross section of the water guiding structure 260 gradually decreases from top to bottom in the up-down direction.

In other words, the length of the cross-sectional outer contour of the intermediate water guiding section 263 at the upper end of the water guiding structure 260 is the largest; the length of the middle water guide section 263 at the lower end of the water guide structure 260 is nearly zero, and at this position, a triangle is formed between the first water guide section 261, the second water guide section 262 and the water guide cover 220, that is, a triangle is formed at the water outlet 211 and the cross section of the drainage channel 240, thereby improving the structural strength of the water guide structure 260; and the cross-sectional area of the drainage channel 240 is larger than that of the part above the drainage channel, so that the water entering the drainage channel 240 can flow out in time, and the dewatering effect is ensured.

In some embodiments, the outer contour line of the cross-section of the first water guide segment 261 and/or the second water guide segment 262 forms an oblique line shape, and the oblique line shape gradually extends toward the center of the rotary tub 210 in a direction away from the intermediate water guide segment 263.

In some embodiments, the first water guiding section 261 and the second water guiding section 262 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the middle water guiding section 263, that is, the water guiding structure 260 is symmetrically arranged along the center line of the middle water guiding section 263, so that the manufacturing process of the water guiding structure 260 is further simplified, the manufacturing difficulty is reduced, and the structural stability is improved at the same time, while the dehydration effect is ensured.

As shown in fig. 4, the water inlet 221 is disposed on the water guide cover 220, and the water outlet 211 is disposed on the water guide structure 260 and/or the bottom wall of the rotary tub 210, that is, the water outlet 211 may be disposed on the water guide structure 260, the bottom wall of the rotary tub 210, or the water outlet 211 is disposed on the water guide structure 260 and the rotary tub 210.

Specifically, the water outlet 211 is disposed on the water guide structure 260, so that the water guide cover 220 covers the water outlet 211, and the lower end of the water guide cover 220 is connected to the water guide structure 260 only, which is beneficial to sealing the water guide cover 220. Certainly, the water outlet 211 in the utility model can also be arranged on the bottom wall of the rotary barrel 210, and the water guide cover 220 covers the water outlet 211, which is beneficial to improving the dehydration efficiency during dehydration, has good dehydration effect, and can effectively reduce the splashing of water from the water outlet 211; when the water outlet 211 is disposed on the bottom walls of the water guide structure 260 and the rotary tub 210, it is advantageous to seal the water guide cover 220 and improve the dehydration efficiency during dehydration, and it is possible to effectively prevent water from splashing out of the water outlet 211.

Further, the water inlet 221 is disposed at an upper portion of the water guide cover 220, and the water outlet 211 is disposed at a lower portion of the water guide structure 260. Here, it is understood that the upper portion of the water guide cover 220 refers to a portion above the center of the water guide cover 220 in the vertical direction, and the lower portion of the water guide structure 260 refers to a portion below the center of the water guide structure 260 in the vertical direction. Therefore, when dewatering, the rotating barrel 210 rotates, water in the rotating barrel 210 rises under the action of centrifugal force, the water inlet 221 positioned at the upper part of the water guide cover 220 can better collect the rising water, and the water enters the water guide cover 220 from the water inlet 221 and flows to the water outlet 211 below under the guidance of the water guide cover 220, so that the dewatering efficiency and the dewatering effect are further improved.

Further, the water inlet 221 is provided at the upper end of the water guide cover 220 to further facilitate the collection of the liquid in the rotary tub 210 rising to the upper end of the rotary tub 210 by centrifugal force, the water outlet 211 is provided at the water guide structure 260 and adjacent to the bottom wall of the rotary tub 210, and the water outlet 211 is spaced a predetermined distance from the bottom wall of the rotary tub 210, thereby facilitating the sealing of the water guide cover 220.
