本发明属于洗衣机技术领域,具体涉及一种仅设可旋转、可盛水内筒的洗衣机。
背景技术
现有技术中,滚筒洗衣机一般包括相互套装的内筒和外筒,外筒密封用于盛水,内筒用于盛放衣物、经旋转内筒以对衣物进行摔打洗涤;同时,内筒上设置脱水孔,以使得外筒中的水经脱水孔流入内筒以对内筒中的衣物进行浸泡、内筒中的水经脱水孔流出至外筒、内筒中衣物上水分在内筒高速旋转时经脱水孔外排至外筒,以实现对衣物进行洗涤的目的。
但是,由于内筒与外筒相互套装,在洗衣机使用过程中内外筒之间容易积存污垢;同时,由于内外筒相互套装,用户无法对内筒外壁、外筒内壁进行清洁,使洗衣机内部细菌增多,降低了洗衣机的洗衣效率、衣物洗涤后的洁净度。
同时,上述现有洗衣机中,由于内筒外部套装有外筒,洗衣机的洗涤过程是通过内筒旋转对衣物进行摔打洗涤,使得洗衣机的洗涤容量是以内筒为基准,令洗衣机的内部空间使用率较低,无法在现有基础上对洗衣机洗涤容量进行扩展。
有鉴于此,如何设置一种洗衣机,以将内外筒合一,令内筒设置为密封容器,既能盛水和衣物,又能旋转对衣物进行摔打进行洗涤;同时,由于洗衣机不设外筒、或外筒与洗衣机壳体一体设置,还能使洗衣机的内筒扩大、以扩展洗衣机的洗涤容量,就成为了研发热点。
但是,由于内筒不仅用于盛放洗涤水,还要旋转以对筒内衣物进行摔打清洗,因此如何设置一种适用于上述洗衣机的脱水结构和排水结构,就成为了急需解决的难题。

在洗衣机处于正常工作过程中,排水阀闭合,排水口处于关闭状态,内筒中水不会自排水口流出;当洗衣机处于排水状态时,洗衣机内筒在定位锁止机构的作用下旋转至固定排水位置,洗衣机上的阀芯开启机构开启,推动排水阀阀塞打开,排水口处于打开状态,内筒中水会自排水口流出。
通过上述设置,使得排水阀在洗衣机正常状态下处于闭合状态、在洗衣机排水时排水阀受定位锁止机构和阀塞开启机构共同作用处于打开状态,使得内筒正常旋转时内筒中盛水不会自排水口流出,进而实现了内筒旋转过程中内筒密封、排水时排水阀打开内筒中盛水正常外排的效果,达到了内筒旋转和盛水双重功效的洗衣机正常排水的目的;同时,使得内筒外部可不需再套装外筒,增大了内筒的容积,提高了洗衣机的洗涤容量。
本实施例中,所述排水口23设置于内筒1外侧壁或前后端外周处;优选的,内筒1设置为一端直径小、一端直径大的锥形筒,所述排水口23设置于内筒1大口端的外周处。通过将排水口设置于锥形内筒的大口端,以使得内筒中的水流向排水口处汇聚流动,实现了内筒中 水流全部自排水口外排的目的。
本实施例中,内筒1的后端由内筒底102构成,前端由内筒筒口101构成,二者经内筒侧壁相连接;所述内筒侧壁为自内筒开口101向内筒底102方向逐渐扩大直径的锥形面,内筒底102的外周部设有水平贯穿设置的排水口23,排水口23处设有排水阀24;排水阀24包括覆盖排水口23的阀芯25,阀芯25经限位弹簧26与内筒底102相连接,以使阀芯25在限位弹簧26的作用下自内向外堵住排水口23。通过将阀芯经限位弹簧与内筒底相连接,以使得限位弹簧对阀芯提供一相内筒外部方向的弹性拉力,令阀芯在弹力作用下与内筒底相对应紧密贴合,使得阀芯堵死排水口、实现排水口密封的目的。
本实施例中,内筒1上的排水口23设置为自内向外逐渐扩宽的锥形孔,锥形孔的小口端封闭设置、锥形孔的侧壁上设有通孔以将内筒1内外相连通,阀芯25为一覆盖锥形孔大口端的板材结构,锥形孔中设有沿轴线延伸的限位弹簧26,限位弹簧26的一端与锥形孔小口端的密封部相连接、另一端与阀芯25相连接,限位弹簧26处于张紧状态以对阀芯25施加向内筒1外部方向的推力,使阀芯25堵死排水口24。
本实施例中,内筒1后端设有内筒支撑件3,内筒支撑件3经减震吊簧6和/或减震支撑杆7安装于洗衣机壳体2内;阀芯开启机构安装于内筒支撑件3上。
本实施例中,内筒1处于固定排水位置时排水口23处于内筒1最低处,内筒1中水流均向排水口23处汇聚流动,自排水阀24打开的排水口23向外流出;所述阀芯开启机构安装于内筒支撑件3远离内筒1的一侧,并与内筒1外周相对设置,内筒1处于固定排水位置时排水口23与阀芯开启机构的连杆28相对应同轴设置,以使连杆28在步进电机、旋转轮27的推动下产生轴向伸缩,并推动排水阀24的阀芯25向内筒1内部方向移动、打开排水口23。
如图4和图5所示,本实施例中,阀芯开启机构包括安装于内筒支撑件3上的步进电机,步进电机的输出端安装有同轴固定连接的旋转轮27,旋转轮27的外周处与连杆28一端相铰接,连杆28另一端穿过内筒支撑件3上所设限位孔向排水阀23方向可伸缩的移动,以推动阀芯25向内筒1内移动打开排水阀24进行排水。
本实施例中,内筒1的排水口23外部对应设有集水槽30,集水槽30的底部与洗衣机排水管31相连通,以对自内筒1的排水口23外排水流收集后外排。
本实施例中,排水口23设置于内筒底102外周处,内筒1处于固定排水位置时排水口23旋转至内筒1轴线正下方;集水槽30包括排水口23下方对应设置的凹槽,凹槽的后侧壁 向上竖直延伸至排水口23后侧、并与排水口23相距一定间距,以引导排水口23流出水流下落至集水槽30中,避免自水平设置排水口向后窜流出的排水水流溅射至洗衣机外部。同时,集水槽30的前侧壁与洗衣机内筒1下部之间相贴合、或间隙为极限小的距离,以保证集水槽30中水不会自前端溅射出、进而避免了内筒排水溢流情况的发生。
本实施例中,所述集水槽30安装于洗衣机的内筒支撑件3上、或与内筒支撑件3一体成型,阀芯开启机构安装于集水槽30上。
本实施例中,定位锁止机构可以为现有任一可控制洗衣机内筒旋转至固定排水位置并固定的机构,如:驱动内筒旋转的驱动电机上设有对应控制程序,以控制内筒旋转至固定排水位置并锁止、令内筒不再旋转。还可以将定位锁止机构进行如下设置:如图2和图3所示,在内筒1的侧壁上设置向内凹陷的锁止槽34,洗衣机上安装有与锁制槽34相对应设置的锁制销41;所述锁制销41可沿内筒径向伸缩的安装于洗衣机壳体2或内筒支撑件3上;如图2所示,锁制销41在驱动装置作用下向内收缩时,锁制销41与锁制槽42相脱离,内筒1自由旋转;如图3所示,锁制销41在驱动装置作用下向外弹出时,锁制销41伸入内筒1上的锁制槽42中,内筒1不再旋转,并使内筒1处于固定排水位置,令排水口23处于与阀芯开启机构相对应位置处。
如图4欧式,洗衣机正常洗涤过程中,排水阀闭合,内筒正常旋转,内筒中盛水不会自排水口流出、对衣物进行正常洗涤;如图5所示,洗衣机排水过程中,内筒旋转至固定排水位置,步进电机推动旋转轮旋转,旋转轮带动连杆向内筒方向移动,连杆端部推动相对位置处的排水阀阀塞向内筒内部移动,阀塞克服弹簧拉力被推动打开排水口,内筒中水自打开排水口流出,流出水流经集水槽收集后自排水管外排至洗衣机外部,就实现了内筒中盛水外排的目的。
实施例二
本实施例与实施例一的区别在于:所述的阀芯开启机构包括安装于内筒支撑件3上的电磁铁,所述电磁铁与排水阀23相对应设置,使内筒1旋转至固定排水位置时排水阀23与电磁铁处于同轴线方向;排水阀23的阀芯25上安装有磁铁或阀芯整体由磁铁构成,以使电磁铁通电后对阀芯25提供电磁斥力,推动阀芯25向内筒1内侧方向移动打开排水阀23进行排水。
洗衣机正常洗涤过程中,排水阀闭合,内筒正常旋转,内筒中盛水不会自排水口流出、对衣物进行正常洗涤;洗衣机排水过程中,内筒旋转至固定排水位置,电磁铁通电,电磁铁 对阀芯提供一斥力,以使得阀芯在斥力作用下克服弹簧弹力向内筒内部方向移动,使内筒排水口打开,内筒中水自打开排水口流出,流出水流经集水槽收集后自排水管外排至洗衣机外部,同样可实现内筒中盛水外排的目的。
实施例三
本实施例中为了将洗衣机内筒中衣物脱离后水流进行外排,并实现洗衣机工作过程中内筒密封盛水进行正常洗涤,进行如下设置:
如图1所示,一种洗衣机的脱水结构,洗衣机壳体2内安装有内筒1,内筒1为一端直径小、一端直径大的锥形筒,内筒1大口端设有脱水流道36,脱水流道36的一端与内筒1的大口端相连通、另一端经大口端中心穿出内筒1并与洗衣机排水管31相连通。
本发明实施例中还介绍了一种洗衣机的脱水方法,内筒以一定转速旋转,使内筒中自衣物脱离的洗涤水在离心力作用下贴锥形内筒内壁向大口端流动,水流至内筒大口端时沿大口端设置的脱水流道自内筒大口端中心流出,并沿排水管流出洗衣机,实现内筒中洗涤水外排。
滚筒洗衣机在正常洗涤过程中,内筒1一般以低速进行旋转,内筒1中水并不会受到太多的离心力作用,使得内筒1中衣物和水流随着内筒低速旋转而产生摔打洗涤效果,令内筒1中水流并不会向大口端汇聚流动、也不会外排出洗衣机;而当滚筒洗衣机在脱水过程中,内筒1以中高速旋转,内筒1中自衣物脱离的水受内筒旋转离心力作用,使得内筒1中水流贴内筒壁向内筒大口端汇聚流动,并流入内筒大口端所设脱水流道36、经内筒1大口端中心流出内筒1并自排水管31排出洗衣机。
通过上述设置,使得在洗衣机正常洗涤状态下内筒中水流不受离心力作用、并不向内筒大口端汇聚流动,洗衣机脱水状态下内筒高速旋转内筒中水流受离心力作用、向内筒大口端脱水流道流动并外排,使得内筒正常旋转时内筒中盛水不会自排水口流出,进而实现了内筒旋转过程中内筒密封、排水时排水阀打开内筒中自衣物脱离水正常外排的效果,达到了内筒旋转和盛水双重功效的洗衣机正常脱水的目的;同时,使得内筒外部可不需再套装外筒,增大了内筒的容积,提高了洗衣机的洗涤容量。
本实施例中,内筒1前端为内筒筒口101,后端为内筒底102,内筒筒口101与内筒底102之间经内筒侧壁相连接;内筒侧壁为自内筒筒口101向内筒底102逐渐增大直径的锥形,以构成锥形内筒1,内筒底102中心经转轴安装于内筒支撑件3上;脱水流道36设置于内筒底101内侧面,脱水流道36的一端设于内筒底101与内筒侧壁相交处、另一端自内筒底101 中心穿出并沿轴线穿过电机轴,脱水流道36的穿出端与洗衣机排水管31相连通。
本实施例中,内筒底102上设有多条脱水流道36,各脱水流道36的一端等间隔角度的均布于内筒底102外周并与内筒1内部相连通、另一端交汇于内筒底102中心并自内筒底102中心穿出与洗衣机排水管31相连通。
本实施例中,至少一条脱水流道36的一端设于内筒底102中部并与内筒1内部相连通、另一端自内筒底102中心穿出并与洗衣机排水管31相连通;优选的,相邻脱水流道36的端部交错设置于内筒底102的中部或外周部。通过在内筒底上设置多条均布的、端部分别设置与中部或外周部的脱水流道,以对内筒底的各个部分处的水流进行吸附外排,以提高内筒中水流的脱水效率。
本实施例中,各脱水流道36由凸出于内筒底102内侧面的中空凸筋构成,在内筒1旋转过程中中空凸筋对内筒1中水流和衣物进行提升、摔打,以对衣物进行洗涤,以使得向内凸出的脱水流道36具备了对内筒1中衣物进行提升、摔打洗涤的辅助提升筋功能。
本实施例中,所述脱水流道36和/或排水管31上设有排水泵33,以对流至洗衣机内筒底102处的水流施加压力沿脱水流道36、排水管31外排至洗衣机外部,排水泵33在滚筒洗衣机处于正常洗涤状态时不工作、滚筒洗衣机执行脱水程序时打开,以实现对洗衣机内筒中水流外排进行操控、并提供水流驱动力。
实施例四
本实施例中介绍了一种基于上述实施例三所述洗衣机的脱水方法,内筒以一定转速旋转,使内筒中洗涤水在离心力作用下贴锥形内筒内壁向大口端流动,水流至内筒大口端时沿大口端设置的脱水流道自内筒大口端中心流出,并沿排水管流出洗衣机,实现内筒中洗涤水外排。
通过上述方法,使得在洗衣机正常洗涤状态下内筒中水流不受离心力作用、并不向内筒大口端汇聚流动,洗衣机脱水状态下内筒高速旋转内筒中水流受离心力作用、向内筒大口端脱水流道流动并外排,使得内筒正常旋转时内筒中盛水不会自脱水口流出,进而实现了内筒旋转过程中内筒密封、脱水时脱水阀打开内筒中盛水正常外排的效果,达到了内筒旋转和盛水双重功效的洗衣机正常脱水的目的。
本实施例中,所述洗衣机脱水方法的具体排步骤如下,
步骤1、洗衣机内筒以一定转速旋转,内筒中水流在离心力作用下流动至与内筒侧壁贴合处;
步骤2、在锥形内筒的作用下,使得贴内筒侧壁的水流受内筒侧壁的引导、内筒旋转过程中离心力的作用,令内筒中的水流向直径较大的内筒底;
步骤3、流动至内筒底处的水流入内筒底上所设脱水流道中,并沿脱水流道自内筒中心处流出内筒,再沿排水管排出洗衣机。
本实施例中,在上述步骤3中,脱水流道和/或排水管上的排水泵开始工作,以对流至内筒底处的水流施加压力,令水沿脱水流道、排水管流动并排至洗衣机外部。而在洗衣机执行其他程序时,脱水流道和/或排水管上的排水泵并不工作,使得内筒中的水并不会被排水泵吸附外排,令内筒中水留存、对衣物进行正常洗涤。
本实施例中,在洗衣机脱水过程中,内筒以中高速转动,以使得内筒中水受离心力作用贴合内筒侧壁、并向内筒大口端流动。
实施例五
本实施例中为了向洗衣机内筒中进水,并实现洗衣机工作过程中内筒筒口101处的密封,进行如下设置:
如图1所示,一种洗衣机的进水结构,洗衣机壳体2上安装有门盖4,门盖4与内筒筒口101的下部相密封连接,以令门盖4扣合于内筒筒口101实现内筒1下部盛水处密封;门盖4上端与内筒筒口101之间设有一定间隙,进水管17自间隙与内筒1内部相连通,以自门盖4上部间隙向内筒1中进水。
通过将内筒下部密封、上部开口设置,以使得进水自门盖上端与内筒筒口之间的开口处流入内筒;同时,由于内筒中水位高度会远低于内筒高度一半,使得内筒内部的进水在筒盖下部与内筒筒口之间的密封处作用下不会流出内筒,实现了内筒旋转过程中筒口密封、不会溢流水的目的,达到了内筒旋转和盛水双重功效的洗衣机正常进水的目的;同时,使得内筒外部可不需再套装外筒,增大了内筒的容积,提高了洗衣机的洗涤容量。
本实施例中,门盖4的上端设有倾斜部21,倾斜部21由向内筒1内部逐渐向下倾斜的斜面构成,倾斜部21与内筒筒口101之间相距一定间隙,进水管17一端自间隙与内筒1内部相连通,进水管17另一端与洗衣机进水盒相连通,以使洗衣机进水水源自进水管、经内筒筒口与门盖上部间隙流入内筒中,实现向内筒中进水的目的。
本实施例中,倾斜部21的最低处不低于门盖4四分之三高度,倾斜部21的最高处高于内筒筒口101上端,以缩减内筒筒口101与门盖4之间的间隙距离,进而降低内筒1中水流 溅射流出的几率。同时,将倾斜部21的最高处设置于洗衣机内筒筒口101外侧,以在内筒1旋转过程、内筒1中盛水产生溅射时,溅射水流被内筒筒口101和凸出设置的倾斜部21引导,令溅射水流不会流至内筒1外部、而会回流入洗衣机内筒1中,避免了洗衣机工作过程中内筒中水流溅射流出情况的发生。
本实施例中,所述进水管17设于内筒筒口101与洗衣机壳体2之间,进水管17向上延伸并与洗衣机壳体2内部的进水盒相连通。从而,使得门盖开闭过程中不与进水管之间产生相互干涉,令进水管不会随门盖开闭而产生移动,避免了进水管被门盖夹持而进水不畅情况的发生。
本实施例中,门盖4内侧的下部周壁上设有一段凸出的圆弧状密封圈18,所述密封圈18与内筒筒口101相对应贴合,以令门盖4闭合后密封圈18与内筒筒口101相对应贴合并将内筒筒口101下部盛水处密封。
本实施例中,所述密封圈18沿门盖外周设置、并自门盖4下端向上延伸至至少门盖4二分之一高度处,以使得密封圈18覆盖门盖4与内筒筒口101相扣合的下部,实现了内筒筒口处、进水水位高度以下被全部密封,避免内筒中水流自筒口流出情况的发生。
本实施例中,内筒筒口101由环状板材构成,环状板材的内周设有向门盖4方向凸出的一圈压型,压型构成与内筒1轴线相垂直的平面,所述平面为安装部19;所述密封圈18与安装部19相对应贴合设置,使密封圈18与安装部19相对应密封接触,令门盖4与内筒1相密封卡接;优选的,安装部19的内侧向内筒1外部水平弯折构成限位折边20,以引导密封圈18滑入内筒1中;进一步优选的,限位折边20的端部设有向外弯折的倒角。
本实施例中,密封圈18的外周直径大于安装部19的内周直径、小于安装部19的外周直径,以使门盖闭合后密封圈18与安装部19相对应密封贴合。
由于滚筒洗衣机在洗涤过程中,进水仅仅是对衣物进行浸湿,因此滚筒洗衣机的进水量一般较少、不会存在进水水位超过内筒中部的情况;因此,本实施例中,仅在门盖4下部设置密封圈18,使得存有洗涤进水的内筒下部进行密封处理,就达到了对内筒筒口进行密封处理、避免洗衣机内筒中进水流出情况发生的目的,进而实现了洗衣机内筒具备盛水和旋转的双重功能。
同时,由于内筒筒口与密封圈仅为密封接触,使得内筒可相对门盖旋转,并在旋转过程中有弹性材质构成的密封圈将门盖与内筒筒口之间的下部进行密封处理,以实现洗衣机工作 过程中内筒筒口处进行动密封、防止漏水的目的;还有,由于内筒筒口处被密封圈进行密封处理,使得内筒同时具备了旋转和盛水的目的,避免了内筒外部再套设外筒的方案,实现了增大内筒容积、进而提高洗衣机洗涤容量的目的。
本实施例中,所述密封圈18与安装部19的对应贴合面之间设有至少一道密封橡胶垫,密封橡胶垫与密封圈18或安装部19相固定连接;优选的,密封圈18由可产生弹性形变的橡胶材质构成。通过在密封圈与安装部之间设置至少一道密封橡胶垫,以增大二者之间的接触面积,使二者接触面之间的密封性提高,进而增强内筒筒口处的密封效果。
以上所述仅是本发明的较佳实施例而已,并非对本发明作任何形式上的限制,虽然本发明已以较佳实施例揭露如上,然而并非用以限定本发明,任何熟悉本专利的技术人员在不脱离本发明技术方案范围内,当可利用上述提示的技术内容作出些许更动或修饰为等同变化的等效实施例,但凡是未脱离本发明技术方案的内容,依据本发明的技术实质对以上实施例所作的任何简单修改、等同变化与修饰,均仍属于本发明方案的范围内。
