洗衣机作为人们日常生活中使用最为广泛的一种家用电器,帮助人们摆脱了洗衣的烦恼,给人们带来了极大的便利。但是洗衣机也具有一定的缺点,比如说耗时较长、耗水量较大等,随着社会的发展,水资源作为一种重要的自然资源变得越来越重要,人们的节水意识也随之提高,而如何实现洗衣机的节水功能便显得尤为重要。
为了解决洗衣机的节水问题,现在也提出了一些专利,比如专利号为201410215346.3,名称为一种滚筒洗衣机的中国发明专利,该发明涉及一种滚筒洗衣机,包括箱体,箱体内设有内筒和外筒,外筒与箱体之间设有门封,内筒与驱动装置相连,所述的内筒为无孔内筒,且所述的内筒为筒底处直径小、筒口处直径大的锥形筒,内筒的筒口处向内呈弧形收拢,所述的门封上设有进水导管,进水导管的一端与洗涤水快速加热装置相连,进水导管的另一端穿过门封伸入内筒内,所述的外筒上设有排水口及水压检测装置。由上述技术方案可知,该发明的内筒为无孔内筒,通过设置在门封上的进水导管实现内筒进水,并通过内筒自身的形状在脱水过程中实现排水,这样可以避免在内、外筒之间存水,大幅节约了洗涤用水量。
上述发明提供了一种具有无孔内筒的滚筒洗衣机,但仅仅是将现有滚筒洗衣机的内筒设计为无孔结构,现实意义很小。因为衣物洗涤须有一定的洗涤水浸泡,如果要实现浸泡的效果,无孔内筒中的需要存有一定的水量,这样会增大电机的负担,耗电等问题也随之而来。另外,该专利公开的滚筒洗衣机进水的方式是通过门封,由于门封主要的作用是实现洗衣机外筒的筒口的密封,在门封上设置进水导管容易影响门封的密封效果,不易实现,且该专利不能实现对内筒内进水水位的检测。
另外,针对具有无孔内筒的滚筒洗衣机,保持内筒上的排水口的密封是实现内筒与外筒之间无水的关键,现有技术存在有在排水口上设置密封件,通过活动件与密封件密封接触封堵排水口的方案,但是由于内筒的筒壁一般多为圆弧形,将密封件安装在圆弧形内筒壁上较为复杂,且不易保持稳固,容易脱落,导致活动件无法封堵排水口,从而发生滴水、漏水的现象。
有鉴于此,特提出本发明。

本实施例中,封堵部件包括一与内筒壁相密封接触、以封闭排水口39的密封件40;优选的,密封件40与内筒壁、和/或折边39产生相互挤压而产生弹性变形,利用弹性变形对二者相接处进行密封。

本实施例中,密封件40与内筒17壁产生相互挤压而产生弹性变形,利用弹性变形对二者相接处进行密封。为了实现利用弹性变形对密封件和内筒之间进行密封的效果,可以将密封件40自身由弹性材质构成;当然也可以将与密封件40相对应接触的内筒17壁部分设置为由弹性材质构成,以利用密封件40和/或内筒17壁的弹性变形进而实现密封接触。
