Description

一种自清洁洗衣机及控制方法 技术领域
本发明涉及洗衣机领域, 尤其是一种在内外桶之间利用清洗颗粒随水流自动清洗内外桶之间桶壁的 自清洁洗衣机及其收集清洗颗粒的控制方法。
背景技术
现有的波轮洗衣机内、 外桶之间是一个封闭的环境, 只有水流可以通过, 由于洗衣机上述结构的局 限性和使用环境的特殊性, 因此在使用 3-5个月之后, 内桶外壁和外桶内壁上会粘附污垢, 从而滋生不 同程度的细菌, 而滋生的细菌绝大部分是对人体有害的。
随着人们生活水平的提高和对生活质量要求的提高, 洗衣机的卫生问题的解决已经显的很迫切。 相 关科研机构对洗衣机内部环境的调査情况显示,洗衣机内部污染的严重性已经越来越受到消费者的重视。 为了从根本上避免洗衣机对洗涤物的二次污垢, 并且更好地对用户的健康负责, 洗衣机内部环境的清洁 难题已经是一个迫切需要攻克的问题。
中国专利 200820183308. 4公开了一种带有桶间清洁的套桶洗衣机,它包括内桶、外桶和用于清洁内 外桶壁的多个圆形硅胶球, 利用洗衣时内桶旋转带动水的流动, 从而带动洗衣机内桶、 外桶之间的硅胶 球运动并不断碰撞内外桶的两壁以达到清洁内外桶壁的目的。
但上述洗衣机结构, 在排水后, 由于橡胶球或柔性颗粒在桶内处于自由散落状态, 高速脱水过程中 会产生很大的噪音, 同时增加洗衣机的能耗, 影响洗衣机的寿命。
此外,申请人在中国申请 201010160548. 4中公开了一种使用柔性颗粒清洗洗衣机内外桶之间的洗衣 机及方法,该洗衣机采用在洗衣机内外桶之间放置柔性颗粒,通过衣物洗涤过程中水的规律性流动带动柔 性颗粒撞击和摩擦洗衣机内外桶壁,实现洗衣机内外桶之间的清洁。
但上述洗衣机结构, 为了提高内桶底的强度, 在内桶底分布有较多的加强筋, 加强筋将内桶底外部 分割成多个小凹槽, 距离内桶中心越近的凹槽越小, 由于内桶底与外桶底之间的间隙较小, 长时间使用, 水流很难在内外桶底之间冲刷, 污物积攒较多且不容易处理, 该内桶底结构不适合用于具有清洗颗粒清 洁桶壁功能的洗衣机中, 这是因为, 首先内桶底加强筋较高, 与外桶底的间隙小, 清洗颗粒不容易进入 该内外桶底之间, 随水流进入的个别颗粒也容易被夹住或限制在凹槽内出不来, 使得内外桶间的颗粒减 少, 影响正常的桶壁清洁功能; 其次, 随水流运动进入内外桶底部间壁的清洗颗粒, 由于加强筋分布密 集,构成的凹槽较小,在较小的凹槽内不适合颗粒运动以获得足够的加速度碰撞桶壁从而清洁桶底间壁。
有鉴于此特提出本发明。
发明内容
本发明要解决的技术问题在于克服现有技术的不足, 提供一种具有在内外桶之间设有清洗颗粒以清 洁桶壁功能的自清洁洗衣机。
本发明的另一目的在于提供一种阻挡上述自清洁洗衣机清洗颗粒脱离内外桶之间的隔离结构。 本发明的再一目的在于提供该自清洁洗衣机收集清洗颗粒的控制方法。
为解决上述技术问题, 本发明采用技术方案的基本构思是: 一种自清洁洗衣机, 包括外桶、 内桶、 波轮及排水装置, 内桶和外桶之间的腔室内设有清洁外桶内壁和内桶外壁的清洗颗粒, 所述的洗衣机设 有阻止清洗颗粒脱离腔室的隔离结构, 包括设于排水装置内以阻挡清洗颗粒在排水时排出的过滤机构, 和 /或设于内桶底部阻挡清洗颗粒由内桶底进入内桶的格栅机构。
所述的隔离结构还包括设于外桶溢水口处阻挡清洗颗粒随溢水流出的过滤格栅, 所述的过滤格栅与 外桶为一体注塑结构, 或者为分体式结构, 优选为过滤格栅与外桶为插拔式结构, 溢水口两侧设有插槽, 过滤格栅插入插槽中; 或者, 过滤格栅与外桶为卡扣结构。
所述的过滤格栅包括与溢水口匹配的框体和设于框体内的阻挡筋, 阻挡筋分为两组, 两组阻挡筋之 间为尺寸小于清洗颗粒的隔断间隙, 同组两相邻阻挡筋之间为尺寸小于清洗颗粒的缝隙, 两组阻挡筋对 应外桶内侧构成的过滤面为沿阻挡筋方向在隔断间隙位置向另一侧凹的弧面或倾斜面; 优选的, 两组阻 挡筋对称设置或者延伸方向依次交替设置。 或者, 过滤格栅为横格栅或竖格栅或过滤网结构。
所述的隔离结构还包括设于外桶上部以遮挡腔室环形开口的外桶盖, 外桶盖对应环形开口设有补充 腔室内清洗颗粒数量的颗粒投入口; 优选的, 该颗粒投入口上设有一可开闭的遮挡盖。
所述的波轮为自清洁波轮, 包括波盘和设于波盘上表面的拨水叶, 拨水叶的顶部设有至少一个透水 孔, 与拨水叶底部的凹槽空间对应相通; 拨水叶靠近波盘边缘的位置沿圆周方向分布有多个透水孔, 拨 水叶靠近波轮中心一端沿径向方向分布有至少两个透水孔。
所述波盘下表面设有由波盘加强筋构成的多个凹槽空间, 对应拨水叶范围外部每个凹槽空间设有至 少一个透水孔以形成在该凹槽空间上、 下方向冲洗的水流。
在两两拨水叶之间盆式波轮边缘位置设有摩擦凸起, 至少为两个, 沿圆周方向均匀分布。
所述的波盘下表面设有抗菌防霉涂层。
本发明还提供一种排水装置, 该装置在排水和脱水时利用排脱水收集清洗颗粒以避免脱水时清洗颗 粒在内外桶之间撞击桶壁产生噪音, 且在阻挡清洗颗粒的同时能顺利地将线屑、 片状物如硬币、 纽扣等 及其它尺寸比清洗颗粒小的杂物排出, 避免堵塞。
所述的排水装置包括在脱水时盛放清洗颗粒、 在进水时依靠浮力将清洗颗粒浮出到所述腔室中清洁 桶壁的颗粒收放腔室和排水腔室, 过滤机构设于颗粒收放腔室和排水腔室之间。 该过滤机构不仅能够阻 挡清洗颗粒且能供线屑及尺寸比清洗颗粒小的杂物排出。
所述的过滤机构包括阻挡清洗颗粒的多个挡筋, 挡筋分为两组, 两组挡筋之间为尺寸小于清洗颗粒 的断口, 同组两相邻挡筋之间为尺寸小于清洗颗粒的过滤间隙, 两组挡筋对应颗粒收放腔室一侧构成的 过滤面为在断口位置向另一侧凹的弧面或倾斜面, 过滤面为底部断开的 V字形或倒八字形结构。 断口不 仅能使得缠绕在挡筋上的线屑滑动到挡筋末端从该处通过, 还能使得纽扣、 硬币等片状物通过, 进一步 减少线屑堵塞的可能性。
优选的, 断口将挡筋分成两组对立设置的梳齿结构, 两组梳齿结构的挡筋延伸线依次交替。 该挡筋 延伸线依次交替的结构使得清洗颗粒在尺寸固定的条件下, 即使增加两相邻挡筋之间的距离仍能阻挡清 洗颗粒通过, 更进一步地减少线屑堵塞的可能性。
所述的两组梳齿结构为上下或左右对立设置, 之间为横向或纵向的断口, 一组梳齿结构的挡筋的延 伸线与另一组梳齿结构的挡筋依次纵向交替, 两组梳齿结构的挡筋所在的直线平行, 两两相邻直线的间 距相同。 由两组梳齿结构的彼此相邻的三个挡筋端部构成所述断口在该三角区域的颗粒阻挡部。 经过测 试发现, 对比上下挡筋对称设置的梳齿结构, 在清洗颗粒尺寸和断口大小均固定的情况下, 每组梳齿结 构的相邻两挡筋之间的距离可以更大也不会让清洗颗粒通过。
本发明所述的排水装置设于外桶下方, 颗粒收放腔室上壁设有与外桶底的排水口相通的通口, 颗粒 收放腔室上壁自周边向通口处斜向上倾斜。 该倾斜方向使得清洗颗粒随水位上升向通口处浮动, 进而通 过排水口进入内、外桶之间的腔室内。排水和脱水过程中, 清洗颗粒随着排水水流流入颗粒收放腔室内, 再进水时, 清洗颗粒随着颗粒收放腔室水位的上升向上浮动, 清洗颗粒会沿该倾斜方向移动, 也就是说 会斜向上运动, 从而更方便的进入通口内, 然后通过排水口进入内外桶之间。
所述的颗粒收放腔室与排水腔室相反的一侧设有与外界相通的开口, 开口上设有可开闭的密封盖, 密封盖的圆周内壁为向颗粒收放腔室内部方向口径渐大的圆台周壁结构。
上述结构在洗衣机下次进水时能利用进水浮力完全将清洗颗粒重新投放到内外桶之间继续清洁桶 壁,采用的倾斜内壁结构更容易使得清洗颗粒的再次投放使用,避免了清洗颗粒上浮不顺利造成的堵塞, 结构简单、 生产安装成本低。
本发明还提供了一种防止清洗颗粒由内桶底部进入内桶的格栅机构, 所述的格栅机构包括与法兰盘 配合以阻挡清洗颗粒由内桶底中空区域进入内桶的阻挡盖,阻挡盖上设有能阻挡清洗颗粒通过的通水孔。
所述的阻挡盖为一中空的环形盖体, 法兰盘主体对应封堵该阻挡盖的中空位置, 法兰盘主体直径为 d、 内桶底部中空区域的内径为 D, 阻挡盖内径为 dl, 外径为 d2, 满足 dl ¾≡d<D¾≡d2, 或者满足 dl ¾≡d <d2<D, 且内桶底部中空区域内径 D与阻挡盖外径 d2的差值满足清洗颗粒的大小不能由内桶底部中空 区域的边缘与阻挡盖外沿之间的缝隙处通过。
所述的阻挡盖为一独立结构, 夹设或粘接于内桶底和法兰盘之间, 或者, 阻挡盖与内桶底为一体结 构, 或者阻挡盖与法兰盘为一体结构, 或者阻挡盖、 内桶底和法兰盘三者为一体结构。 阻挡盖能够防止 内外桶之间的清洗颗粒进入内桶, 避免了由于内外桶之间清洗颗粒的减少而影响桶壁清洁的效果。
所述的通水孔为直线的长条狭缝结构或弯曲的长条狭缝结构。 由于洗涤水中的线屑大部分被线屑过 滤结构收集, 少部分的线屑较小且分散为细条状, 因此, 该通水孔也不会造成线屑堵塞。 所述的通水孔为自上向下尺寸缩小的漏斗结构。 该结构能使硬币、 钮扣等异物通过, 减少了堵塞的 可能性, 同时阻止清洗颗粒由此进入内桶。
进一步的方案为, 所述的内桶底外部设有由桶底加强筋包围构成的多个凹槽, 桶底加强筋的底部与 外桶底之间的间隙大于清洗颗粒的尺寸, 桶底加强筋包围构成的凹槽大小满足至少平放 2个清洗颗粒, 优选为放置 2-5个清洗颗粒。 每个凹槽均能供清洗颗粒进入随水流运动获得运动加速度以碰撞摩擦清洁 内外桶底间壁。
所述的凹槽包括由外部桶底加强筋包围构成的大凹槽和在大凹槽内由内部桶底加强筋分割构成的小 凹槽, 外部桶底加强筋的高度大于内部桶底加强筋的高度, 内部桶底加强筋的高度不超过 5mm。 优选的, 内桶底对应每个凹槽增加至少一个透水通孔, 不仅减少内外桶底间壁粘附的污垢, 还增大了清洗颗粒的 流动性, 避免了清洗颗粒被卡在内桶底
本发明所述的清洗颗粒能浮在水中, 于洗衣机内外桶之间随水流冲击内外桶壁, 衣物洗涤过程中通 过水流带动清洗颗粒撞击和摩擦内外桶壁实现洗衣机内外桶之间桶壁的清洁, 清洁结束后, 洗涤水从排 水装置排出, 清洗颗粒随排水流入到颗粒收放腔室内盛放; 漂洗进水或下次洗涤再进水时, 清洗颗粒根 据进水水位的升高由排水口浮出颗粒收放腔室到外桶中。
在内外桶之间放置清洗颗粒以清洁内外桶壁是借鉴了内桶中洗涤物摩擦内桶使其不会粘附污垢滋生 细菌的原理; 清洗颗粒可以是海绵类的物质, 也可以是橡胶或者塑料发泡物, 如发泡橡胶, 发泡塑料、 发泡复合聚氨酯, 优选的采用有吸附性的材料, 使得其清洗桶壁效果更好, 清洗颗粒要有一定的弹性, 干燥状态下其密度比水小, 在水中具有浸透水的性质, 价格便宜, 使用多次之后可以直接通过打开储存 腔室开口的密封盖取出回收, 然后重新使用新的清洗颗粒。
清洗颗粒为球状、 方块状、 椭圆球状、 圆柱体状、 正四面体或其他不规则的团状颗粒物质, 其个数 为 3-50个, 这些颗粒密度比水小, 其具有一定弹性和耐磨性。
本发明还提供上述自清洁洗衣机在排水和脱水时利用排水收集清洗颗粒的控制方法, 该方法简单, 实现颗粒完全收集, 避免了脱水时清洗颗粒对内外桶撞击产生的噪音。
该方法为: 在排水过程和 /或甩干过程中, 控制内桶运行不同的动作, 使清洗颗粒与洗涤水一起流经 排水口, 被排水阀收集。
在排水过程中, 控制内桶以 5-50转 /分钟的低转速旋转, 使卡在内外桶壁间的清洗颗粒落入内外桶 之间, 随外桶中的水一起流经排水口, 被排水阀收集。
甩干阶段, 控制内桶执行至少一次刹车动作, 使卡在内外桶壁间的清洗颗粒落入内外桶之间, 随衣 物中甩出的水一起流经排水口, 被排水阀收集。
甩干阶段包括中速甩衣物水冲刷清洗颗粒、至少一次高速甩干和刹车、最高转速甩干至结束, 其中, 该阶段各动作的时间分配根据甩干程序的总时间而定。
在甩干阶段, 执行设定的进水时间, 增加冲水流量, 辅助清洗颗粒经过排水口进入排水阀内。 上述甩干阶段的具体步骤为:
a、 排水结束, 内桶先以一个中速甩衣物水, 运行 10-60秒, 或者按照中速转 2-5秒、 停 5_15秒的 规律反复 2-8次, 甩出衣服内大部分的水与遗落在外桶底部的颗粒一起流经排水口至排水阀内;
b、 内桶加速到高速后在 10-20秒时间内停止, 以抖落卡在内外桶壁间的颗粒;
c、 重复步骤 b为 1-6次;

本发明所述的自清洁洗衣机, 内外桶之间腔室内设有清洁桶壁的清洗颗粒, 还设有阻止清洗颗粒脱 离腔室的隔离结构,包括设于排水装置内以阻挡清洗颗粒在排水时排出的过滤机构,和 /或设于内桶底部 阻挡清洗颗粒由内桶底进入内桶的格栅机构,和 /或设于外桶溢水口处阻挡清洗颗粒随溢水流出的过滤格 栅。 上述结构简单, 能够有效阻挡清洗颗粒脱离腔室。
本发明所述的排水装置针对于具有在内外桶之间带有清洗颗粒清洁内外桶壁功能的洗衣机, 能够在 排水时收集清洗颗粒以避免脱水时清洗颗粒在内外桶之间撞击桶壁产生噪音, 且在进水时能利用浮力将 清洗颗粒重新浮出颗粒收放腔室到外桶中继续清洁桶壁; 排水装置结构简单、 成本低, 且在拦截收集清 洗颗粒时不影响线屑的排放, 避免了排水堵塞和残留线屑导致的细菌滋生。
本发明所述的洗衣机内桶底外部设有供清洗颗粒进入随水流运动清洁内外桶底间壁的凹槽, 使得内 外桶之间清洗颗粒能够清洗内外桶底间壁。 该结构简单, 在内桶底注塑过程对加强筋的设计和分布进行 变化, 使得清洗颗粒在内外桶底部之间具有能够随水流运动的空间, 无需额外增加材料成本, 也没有降 低内桶强度。
本发明所述的洗衣机内桶底部安装有阻挡盖, 能够防止内、 外桶之间腔室的清洗颗粒通过内桶底部 进入内桶, 避免了由于内、 外桶之间清洗颗粒的减少而影响内桶外壁与外桶内壁的清洁效果; 阻挡盖上 分布的通水孔不会影响洗涤水在内桶与外桶之间的流通, 也不会被线屑堵塞; 该结构简单, 成本低。
本发明所述的洗衣机在洗涤过程中, 由于波轮或者内桶不停的正反向转动, 在内外桶之间的水跟内 桶中的水进行交换, 形成水流, 带动放置在内外桶之间的清洗颗粒在水中游动, 对内外桶壁进行碰撞摩 擦, 同时在水的浸泡辅助作用下对内外桶壁和内桶底部附着物进行清理, 根本上阻止了污垢的产生, 杜 绝了细菌的滋生。 用户洗衣服的同时也在进行内外桶的清洁, 随时洗涤, 随时清洗, 不留污垢, 干净放 心。 洗涤完成, 洗衣机排水时让内桶低速旋转使卡在内外桶壁间的清洗球落入内外桶之间, 清洗颗粒随 水流流经排水口进入到排水阀, 被过滤结构收集在颗粒收放腔室内, 即使残留在内桶底部的清洗颗粒也 可通过控制甩干时内桶的动作实现完全收集, 避免了甩干时清洗颗粒撞击桶壁产生噪音。

具体实施方式
如图 1至图 11所示, 本发明所述的自清洁洗衣机, 包括外桶 1、 内桶 2、 波轮 3及排水装置 4, 内 桶 2和外桶 1之间的腔室 5内设有清洁外桶内壁和内桶外壁的清洗颗粒 6 (参阅图 3 ), 所述的洗衣机设 有阻止清洗颗粒脱离腔室的隔离结构, 包括设于排水装置 4内以阻挡清洗颗粒在排水时排出的过滤机构 7, 和 /或设于内桶底部阻挡清洗颗粒由内桶底进入内桶的格栅机构 8, 和 /或设于外桶溢水口 11处阻挡 清洗颗粒随溢水流出的过滤格栅 9。
实施例一
如图 2所示, 本实施例公开了洗衣机隔离结构包括过滤格栅, 所述的过滤格栅 9包括与溢水口 11 匹配的框体 91和设于框体内的阻挡筋 92, 阻挡筋 92分为左、 右两组, 两组阻挡筋 92之间为尺寸小于 清洗颗粒的隔断间隙 93, 同组两相邻阻挡筋之间为尺寸小于清洗颗粒的缝隙 94, 两组阻挡筋 92对应外 桶 1内侧构成的过滤面为沿阻挡筋方向在隔断间隙 93位置向另一侧凹的弧面或倾斜面,该结构利于缠绕 在阻挡筋上的线屑被搅动的水流冲入溢水管内。
进一步的方案为, 左、 右两组阻挡筋为对称设置或者延伸方向依次交替设置。
本实施例所述的过滤格栅与外桶之间为插拔式结构,溢水口两侧设有插槽,过滤格栅插入插槽中(图 中未示出) 。 或者, 过滤格栅与外桶为卡扣结构。 上述过滤格栅与外桶之间均为分体式结构, 本发明所述的过滤格栅和外桶也可为一体注塑结构; 本 发明过滤格栅还可为横格栅或竖格栅或过滤网结构。
实施例二
如图 3所示, 本实施例所述的隔离结构包括设于外桶 1上部以遮挡内外桶之间腔室 5环形开口的外 桶盖 10, 外桶盖 10对应环形开口设有补充腔室内清洗颗粒数量的颗粒投入口 12 ; 进一步的方案为, 该 颗粒投入口上还可以设有一可开闭的遮挡盖。
实施例三
如图 4和图 5所示, 本实施例所述的波轮 3为自清洁波轮, 包括波盘 31和设于波盘 31上表面的拨 水叶 32, 拨水叶 32的顶部设有至少一个透水孔 34, 与拨水叶底部的凹槽空间对应相通; 拨水叶 32靠近 波盘边缘的位置沿圆周方向分布有多个透水孔 34, 拨水叶靠近波轮中心 35—端沿径向方向分布有至少 两个透水孔 34 (参阅图 4 ) 。
如图 5所示, 所述波盘 31下表面设有由波盘加强筋构成的多个凹槽空间 33, 对应拨水叶 32范围外 部区域每个凹槽空间 33设有至少一个透水孔 36以形成在该凹槽空间上、 下方向冲洗的水流, 波轮转动 的过程中, 增大凹槽空间内水流搅动的力度以清洗波盘下表面。
进一步的方案为, 所述的波盘下表面设有抗菌防霉涂层。
实施例四
如图 6至图 8所示, 本实施例所述的洗衣机包括一种排水装置 4, 该装置在排水和脱水时利用排脱 水收集清洗颗粒以避免脱水时清洗颗粒在内外桶之间撞击桶壁产生噪音, 且在阻挡清洗颗粒的同时能顺 利地将线屑、 片状物如硬币、 纽扣等及其它尺寸比清洗颗粒小的杂物排出, 避免堵塞。
所述的排水装置 4包括在脱水时盛放清洗颗粒、 在进水时依靠浮力将清洗颗粒浮出到所述腔室 5中 清洁桶壁的颗粒收放腔室 41和排水腔室 42,所述过滤机构 7设于颗粒收放腔室 41和排水腔室 42之间。 该过滤机构 7不仅能够阻挡清洗颗粒且能供线屑及尺寸比清洗颗粒小的杂物排出。
所述的过滤机构 7包括阻挡清洗颗粒的多个挡筋 70, 挡筋 70分为两组, 两组挡筋 70之间为尺寸小 于清洗颗粒的断口 71, 同组两相邻挡筋 70之间为尺寸小于清洗颗粒的过滤间隙 72, 两组挡筋对应颗粒 收放腔室 41一侧构成的过滤面 73为在断口 71位置向另一侧凹的弧面或倾斜面(参阅图 8 ), 过滤面 73 为底部断开的 V字形或倒八字形结构。断口 71不仅能使得缠绕在挡筋上的线屑滑动到挡筋末端从该处通 过, 还能使得纽扣、 硬币等片状物通过, 进一步减少线屑堵塞的可能性。
进一步的方案为, 如图 7所示, 所述的断口 71将挡筋 70分成两组对立设置的梳齿结构, 两组梳齿 结构的挡筋延伸线 L1依次交替。 该挡筋延伸线 L1依次交替的结构使得清洗颗粒在尺寸固定的条件下, 即使增加两相邻挡筋之间的距离仍能阻挡清洗颗粒通过, 更进一步地减少线屑堵塞的可能性。
所述的两组梳齿结构为上下或左右对立设置, 之间为横向或纵向的断口, 一组梳齿结构的挡筋延伸 线 L1与另一组梳齿结构的挡筋依次纵向交替,两组梳齿结构的挡筋所在的直线平行,两两相邻直线的间 距 L相同。 由两组梳齿结构的彼此相邻的三个挡筋端部构成所述断口在该三角区域的颗粒阻挡部。 经过 测试发现, 对比上下挡筋对称设置的梳齿结构, 在清洗颗粒尺寸和断口大小均固定的情况下, 每组梳齿 结构的相邻两挡筋之间的距离可以更大也不会让清洗颗粒通过。
本发明所述的排水装置 4设于外桶 1下方,颗粒收放腔室 41上壁设有与外桶底的排水口相通的通口 43, 颗粒收放腔室 41上壁自周边向通口 43处斜向上倾斜。 该倾斜方向使得清洗颗粒随水位上升向通口 处浮动, 进而通过排水口进入内、 外桶之间的腔室 5内。 排水和脱水过程中, 清洗颗粒随着排水水流流 入颗粒收放腔室内, 再进水时, 清洗颗粒随着颗粒收放腔室水位的上升向上浮动, 清洗颗粒会沿该倾斜 方向移动, 也就是说会斜向上运动, 从而更方便的进入通口内, 然后通过排水口进入内外桶之间。
其中, 如图 8所示, 通口 43、 颗粒收放腔室 41、 排水腔室 42依次相通构成 L形出水通路, 排水腔 室 42内安装有排水阀 44, 排水腔室 42下方设有与洗衣机排水管连接的出水口 45, 出水口 45上设有相 通的溢水管连接口 46 ; 颗粒收放腔室 41与排水腔室 42相反的一侧设有与外界相通的开口 47, 开口 47 上设有可开闭的密封盖 48,密封盖 48的圆周内壁为向颗粒收放腔室内部方向口径渐大的圆台周壁结构。
上述结构在洗衣机下次进水时能利用进水浮力完全将清洗颗粒重新投放到内外桶之间继续清洁桶 壁,采用的倾斜内壁结构更容易使得清洗颗粒的再次投放使用,避免了清洗颗粒上浮不顺利造成的堵塞, 结构简单、 生产安装成本低。

本发明所述的阻挡盖 80为一独立结构, 夹设或粘接于内桶底 21和法兰盘 81之间, 或者, 阻挡盖 80与内桶底为一体结构, 或者阻挡盖 80与法兰盘 81为一体结构, 或者阻挡盖、 内桶底和法兰盘三者为 一体结构。 阻挡盖能够防止内外桶之间的清洗颗粒进入内桶, 避免了由于内外桶之间清洗颗粒的减少而 影响桶壁清洁的效果。 当阻挡盖 80与内桶底部 21—体注塑成型, 即满足 dl ¾≡d<D = d2, 即阻挡盖 80在以直径 d的中心 区域外对应法兰盘 81的两相邻固定脚 85之间设置通水孔 82。
当所述的阻挡盖 80为一独立的盖体结构, 阻挡盖外径 d2与内桶底部中空区域内径 D相同, 阻挡盖 80嵌合粘接在内桶底部中空区域 20内, 此时, dl ¾≡d, 即阻挡盖 80有部分环形盖体与法兰盘主体 84重 合, 通水孔 82分布在与法兰盘主体 84非重合的环形盖体外部区域, 对应法兰盘 81的两相邻固定脚 85 之间。 再或者, 在阻挡盖外侧设有卡合结构卡扣在内桶底部中空区域外侧对应的卡扣结构上, 例如, 在 阻挡盖边缘设置卡槽, 在内桶底部中空区域侧边对应设有与卡槽配合的卡爪。

当所述阻挡盖 80的外径 d2小于内桶底部中空区域 20的内径 D,满足 dl ¾≡d<d2<D,且内桶底部中 空区域 20内径 D与阻挡盖 80外径 d2的差值满足清洗颗粒的大小不能由内桶底部中空区域的边缘与阻挡 盖外沿之间的缝隙处通过,该阻挡盖设于内桶底中空区域 20内,可通过边缘分布的若干连接筋与内桶底 部连接, 或通过连接筋与内桶底部直接一体注塑 (图中未示出) , 再或者通过阻挡盖边缘延伸的卡合结 构与内桶底部连接, 或者阻挡盖安装在法兰盘上, 阻挡盖对应中空区域位置, 将法兰盘与内桶底部固定。
实施例六
如图 10和图 11所示,本实施例所述的内桶底 21外部设有由桶底加强筋 22包围构成的多个凹槽 23, 桶底加强筋的底部与外桶底之间的间隙大于清洗颗粒的尺寸, 桶底加强筋 22包围构成的凹槽 23大小满 足至少平放 2个清洗颗粒, 一般能保证放置 3-5个清洗颗粒即可。 每个凹槽均能供清洗颗粒进入随水流 运动获得运动加速度以碰撞摩擦清洁内外桶底间壁。
所述的凹槽 23包括由外部桶底加强筋 221包围构成的大凹槽 231和在大凹槽内由内部桶底加强筋 222分割构成的小凹槽 232 (参阅图 10 ) , 外部桶底加强筋 221的高度大于内部桶底加强筋 222的高度, 内部桶底加强筋的高度不超过 5mm。优选的, 内桶底 21对应每个凹槽增加至少一个透水通孔 24 (参阅图 11 ), 不仅减少内外桶底间壁粘附的污垢, 还增大了清洗颗粒的流动性, 避免了清洗颗粒被卡在内桶底。
如图 11所示, 所述的凹槽 23由多段径向加强筋 223和多段圆周方向加强筋 224包围构成, 分布在 环形的内桶底 21下方。 由于内桶底 21为圆形, 两相邻径向加强筋 223之间的间距靠近圆心渐小, 为了 保证清洗颗粒足够运动的空间大小, 要求构成所述凹槽 23的两相邻径向加强筋 223之间的夹角为 12 °
-30° , 沿径向相邻的两圆周方向加强筋 224之间的间距为内桶底半径的 1/6-1/2倍, 优选为, 靠近内桶 底中空区域 20的两圆周方向加强筋 224之间的间距最大。

实施例八
如图 13所示, 本实施例是在甩干阶段, 通过先中速甩干, 利用甩出的衣物的水冲刷遗落在外桶底部 的颗粒至排水阀内, 然后控制内桶高速转动和停止, 将卡在内外桶壁间的清洗颗粒抖落, 收集到排水阀 中。 具体步骤为:
a、 排水结束, 内桶先以一个中速甩衣物水, 运行 10-60秒, 甩出衣服内大部分的水, 以冲刷遗落在 外桶底部的清洗颗粒至排水阀内;
b、 内桶加速到高速后在 10-20秒时间内停止, 以抖落卡在内外桶壁间的颗粒;
c、 重复步骤 b为 1-6次, 优选为 2-3次;
