The inner barrel can contain water, namely, when the washing equipment washes clothes, the washing water is contained in the inner barrel, the inner barrel can also be called as a nonporous inner barrel, so that the problem that dirt is easily stored and taken away due to the fact that the outer barrel contains water in the prior art can be avoided; the inner cylinder is provided with a drain hole. The number of the water discharge holes on the inner cylinder can be one or more.

The lifting rib assembly 1 is disposed in the inner cylinder, and specifically, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the lifting rib assembly 1 includes a lifting rib 10, a drain valve 11, and a water blocking member 12. The horizontal both sides of lifting rib 10 all are provided with water inlet 101, and lifting rib 10 includes installing zone 102 and water conservancy diversion district 103.

In one embodiment, the end surface of the water deflector 12 close to the open side of the lifting rib 10 is flush with the end surface of the open side of the lifting rib 10. So, the terminal surface of manger plate 12 and the terminal surface that promotes muscle 10 all can laminate with the inner wall of inner tube betterly, avoid forming the space between the terminal surface of manger plate 12 and the inner wall of inner tube, and the inner tube also need not to set up the laminating between the terminal surface of special structure guarantee manger plate 12 and the inner wall of inner tube.

The specific shape and arrangement position of the water inlet 101 are not limited. The shape of the water inlet 101 may be circular, elliptical, polygonal, etc. It will be appreciated that the number of water inlets 101 should be as large as possible and arranged relatively uniformly, while preserving the structural strength of the lifter bar 10 and the manufacturing costs.

In one embodiment, at least a portion of the water inlet 101 is a notch disposed at the open side edge of the lifting rib 10. Therefore, the minimum distance between the water inlet 101 and the inner wall of the inner cylinder is 0, and water clings to the inner wall of the inner cylinder under the action of centrifugal force in the rotation process of the inner cylinder, so that water can enter the flow guide area 103 from the notch without dead angles and is finally discharged out of the inner cylinder, and the water in the inner cylinder is convenient to empty.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, the water inlet 101 may also be disposed at a non-edge position of the lifting rib 10, in this embodiment, the outline of the water inlet 101 is a closed shape surrounded by lines, for example, the shape of the water inlet 101 may be a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, or the like.

In one embodiment, the length of the guiding area 103 is greater than the length of the mounting area 102 along the length direction of the lifting rib 10. Thus, the diversion effect can be enhanced, and water can be conveniently guided to the corresponding drainage hole of the installation area 102 in a concentrated manner.

In one embodiment, in the inner barrel dehydration process, the first sub-zone 1031 is located at the front side of the second sub-zone 1032 in the rotation direction, and water in the inner barrel during the dehydration process enters the first sub-zone 1031 at a larger flow rate; the flow area of the first sub-zone 1031 increases gradually from the end far from the mounting zone 102 to the end near the mounting zone 102. Since the closer to one end of the installation area 102, the larger the water flow rate of the first sub-area 1031, the larger the flow area corresponding to the first sub-area 1031 is.

The increase of the flow area of the first sub-zone 1031 is not limited, and may be, for example, a part of the side wall of the lifting rib 10 protruding outward.

Illustratively, in a planar projection perpendicular to the height direction of the lifting rib 10, the water blocking member 12 is inclined with respect to the length direction of the lifting rib 10, and the transverse width of the first sub-zone 1031 gradually increases from the end far from the mounting zone 102 to the end near the mounting zone 102. In this embodiment, the water blocking member 12 is disposed in an inclined manner to increase the transverse width of the first sub-zone 1031, so as to increase the flow area, without modifying the contour of the lifting rib 10.

It is understood that the specific manner of forming the flow guiding region 103 is not limited.

In an exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the water guard 12 is a water guard, the bottom end of the water guard is connected to the bottom surface inside the lifting rib 10, one end of the water guard along the length direction of the lifting rib 10 is connected to the side wall inside the lifting rib 10, and the other end of the water guard along the length direction extends to the installation area 102. In this embodiment, the water guard is arranged substantially in the height direction of the lifting rib 10, the water guard has a large area, and the first sub-area 1031 and the second sub-area 1032 have a large space. It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, in order to enhance the structural reliability of the splash plate, a plurality of support ribs 17 may be provided between the splash plate and the lifting rib 10.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the lifting rib assembly 1 includes a sealing plate 13 and an end plate, the end plate separates a space inside the lifting rib 10 into a first isolated area and a mounting area 102, the first isolated area and the mounting area 102 are arranged along a length direction, the sealing plate 13 is transversely arranged in the first isolated area, an edge of the sealing plate 13 is hermetically connected with an inner wall of the lifting rib 10 and the end plate, so as to separate the first isolated area into a closed cavity and a flow guiding area 103 arranged along a thickness direction of the lifting rib 10; the diversion area 103 is located on the top side of the closing plate 13, the closed cavity is located on the bottom side of the closing plate 13, and the water blocking piece 12 protrudes out of the top surface of the closing plate 13. In this embodiment, water does not enter the closed cavity, and the flock mixed in the washing water is prevented from remaining in the closed cavity in the lifting rib 10.

It should be noted that the height of the end of the cover plate 13 close to the mounting region 102 may be lower than the height of the end far from the mounting region 102, so that the flow area of the first sub-region 1031 increases gradually from the end far from the mounting region 102 to the end close to the mounting region 102.

In one embodiment, the height of the flow guiding region 103 is smaller than the height of the closed cavity. That is, the closing plate 13 is close to the open side of the lifting rib 10 to reduce the volume occupied by the flow guide area 103 as much as possible, so that the water flow can flow more smoothly close to the inner wall of the inner cylinder and be guided to the drain hole more smoothly.

In order to facilitate the connection between the lifting rib 10 and the inner cylinder, in an embodiment, a convex pillar 15 extending along the height direction of the lifting rib 10 is disposed in the lifting rib 10, and the convex pillar 15 has a threaded hole 15 a. The lifting rib 10 can be fixedly connected with the inner barrel by passing a screw through the inner barrel from the outer side of the inner barrel and screwing the screw into the threaded hole 15a, and the screw can not be exposed in the washing cavity of the inner barrel.

It can be understood that, in order to ensure the reliability of connection between the lifting rib 10 and the inner cylinder, the number of the convex columns 15 is multiple, and the plurality of convex columns 15 are relatively uniformly arranged as much as possible, so that the stress of the lifting rib 10 is relatively reasonable.

It should be noted that the water blocking member 12, the lifting rib 10 and the protruding pillar 15 in the embodiment of the present application may be an integrally formed structure, such as an integrally formed plastic member or an integrally formed metal member.

Illustratively, the drain valve 11 includes a valve seat, a valve core, and a driving mechanism, the valve core is slidably connected to the valve seat, the valve seat is fixedly connected to the lifting rib 10, and the driving mechanism drives the valve core to move.

The specific structural form of the driving mechanism is not limited as long as the valve element can be driven to move. For example, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism may drive the valve element to open the drainage hole when the rotation speed of the inner cylinder is greater than a preset value, and drive the valve element to return to the position for sealing the drainage hole when the inner cylinder is in a static state or the rotation speed is lower than the preset value. That is, in this embodiment, the driving mechanism drives the valve element to open the drain hole by means of centrifugal force without relying on other power input, and therefore, the driving mechanism can be entirely disposed in the valve seat.

For another example, in another embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a driving rod and a driving rod connected to each other, one end of the driving rod is located inside the lifting rib 10, the other end of the driving rod passes through the lifting rib 10 and the inner cylinder and protrudes out of one axial end of the inner cylinder, and the driving rod is located outside one axial end of the inner cylinder and is driven by other structures to move, and the driving rod is driven by the driving rod to move, so as to drive the valve element to move. In this embodiment, an avoidance hole for the transmission rod to pass through needs to be formed at one end of the lifting rib 10 in the length direction.
