Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present disclosure relates to a technical field of laundry device, in particular, to a washing machine inner barrel and a washing machine.
  • BACKGROUND
  • According to a household electric full-automatic washing machine, an inner barrel is provided in an outer barrel, and its working process is that after laundry is put into the inner barrel and the water is fed into the barrel and the detergent is added, the washing, rinsing and dehydration processes are automatically performed. The washing machine barrel is in constantly contact with the washing water, the laundry, the thread scraps and so on during the using, and the washing machine is usually placed in a damp, poorly ventilated toilet, the fouling is inevitably gathered between the inner and outer barrel during a prolonged using. For the existing washing machine, the gap between the inner and outer barrel is small, and the upper part of the outer barrel is provided with an outer barrel cover, so that it is hard for the user to clean the inner barrel. Therefore, after a long-time use, the fouling in the inner barrel will further breed molds and bacteria, which will not only affect the washing effect of the laundry, but also cause a secondary pollution and affect the health of the user.
  • One existing coping method is to place rubber ball particles between the inner and outer barrel. A Chinese patent No. 200820183308.4 discloses a "barrel set washing machine with an inter-barrels cleaning function". A plurality of circular silica gel balls are placed between the inner and outer barrel, and the inner barrel of the washing machine is used to rotate the water so as to drive the silica gel ball between the inner barrel and the outer barrel of the washing machine and continuously collide with the inner and outer barrel walls to achieve the purpose of cleaning the inner and outer barrel walls. The density of the rubber ball particles is comparable to or slightly less than the density of the water. When the washing machine is subjected to the routine washing by the users, the rubber ball particles float in the water, and collide with the outer wall of the inner barrel and the inner wall of the outer barrel during the washing process, which can effectively remove the fouling.
  • Moreover, in order to improve the strength of the washing machine inner barrel, the inner barrel bottom is generally provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs.

The flange structure 330 is fixed on the inner barrel bottom 300 by adopting the manner of connecting the screw with the screw column 317.
  • As shown in Fig. 4, the screw column 317 arranged on the bottom wall of the barrel bottom body 310 is located between the reinforcing rib structures. Therefore, the installation of the flange structure 330 may cause that the washing water enters the reinforcing rib structure through the screw hole 325. In order to further eliminate the washing water from infiltrating into the reinforcing rib structure through the screw hole 325, the inner side of the bottom wall of the barrel bottom protective cover 320, at the periphery of the screw hole 325, is provided with a protrusion structure, and the end part of the protrusion structure is the sixth connecting surface 327. The bottom wall of the barrel bottom body 310, at the periphery of the screw column 317 is provided with a ring of ring-shaped reinforcing rib, and the end part of the ring-shaped reinforcing rib is the fifth connecting surface 316. The sixth connecting surface 327 and the fifth connecting surface 316 are hermetically connected. In this way, as shown in Fig. 3, in the present disclosure, also a ring of a sealing surface B is formed at the periphery of the screw column 317, and the reinforcing rib structure between the sealing surface B and the sealing surface A is still in a completely enclosed space, realizing the sealing of most of the reinforcing rib structure.

The eighth connecting surface and the seventh connecting surface are hermetically connected. In this way, a ring of sealing surface C is also formed in the inner side of the screw column 317, and the reinforcing rib structure between the inner side of the screw column 317 and the sealing surface C is also sealed. Therefore, there is only a ring of reinforcing rib structure arranged on the screw column 317 that is not completely sealed on the bottom wall of the barrel bottom body 310, and the others are all in a completely sealed state, so as to achieve the technical effect of eliminating the problem of bacteria breeding or fouling accumulation at the reinforcing rib structure of the barrel bottom.
  • The inner barrel of the present disclosure is rotatably arranged inside the outer barrel. Cleaning particles for cleaning the outer wall of the inner barrel and the inner wall of the outer wall is provided between the inner barrel and the outer barrel. The barrel bottom protective cover 320 is a hollow ring-shaped cap body, and the hollow position of the barrel bottom protective cover 320 is correspondingly plugged by the flange structure 330. The flange structure 330, corresponding to the hollow position, is provided with a water-permeable channel 332 which is for letting the washing water flow out and blocking the entering of the cleaning particles. Specifically, the flange structure 330 of the present disclosure is of a discoid shape structure.
  • In the present disclosure, the water-permeable channel 332 is to guarantee the drainage need and used for blocking the entering of the cleaning particles. As shown in Fig. 4, the water-permeable channel 332 comprises a plurality of strip slit structures arranged along the radical direction of the flange structure 330, and the width of the strip slit structure is less than the diameter of the cleaning particles.
  • Moreover, the flange structure 330 is also provided with a plurality of protrusion ribs 331 for enhancing its overall strength.
  • In order to achieve the hermetically connection between the barrel bottom body 310 and the barrel bottom protective cover 320, the barrel bottom protective cover 320, by means of the deposition method, is connected with the barrel bottom body 310 to be a whole. The first connecting surface 314, the second connecting surface 328, the third connecting surface 315, the fourth connecting surface 321, the fifth connecting surface 316 and the sixth connecting surface 327 are respectively a deposition surface.
