Abstract (en)

The disclosure discloses a washing machine, which includes: a box; a clothes putting port for putting clothes; a barrel assembly arranged in the box; the opening of the barrel assembly corresponds to the clothes putting port; and an auxiliary detergent dispensing device for dispensing detergent into the laundry at the putting port; a water supply assembly, which has a main washing water supply mode and an auxiliary washing water supply mode. The main washing water supply mode is configured to inject water into the barrel assembly, and the auxiliary washing water supply mode is configured to spray water to the laundry at the clothes putting port; a detection device is configured to generate a start signal for activating the auxiliary detergent delivery device or the water supply assembly after detecting a signal that the laundry is approaching. The present disclosure uses the water supply assembly of the washing machine in the auxiliary washing water supply mode to spray water on the clothes at the clothes putting port to partially clean the clothes, thereby increasing the function of the washing machine and simplifying the structure of the washing machine.
