TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a field of the washing machine, especially, to
a washing machine without water between barrels and a control method.
BACKGROUND
[0002] In the existing pulsator washing machine, the inner barrel is provided with the water
holes. The inner barrel and the outer barrel are communicated with each other. The
inner barrel is a washing tub, and the outer barrel is a water-carrying tub. The part
of water between the sidewalls of the inner barrel and the outer barrel does not participate
in the washing stage, while the water that really participates in the washing stage
is only the part inside the inner barrel, which results in a greater waster of water
resources. In addition, the excessive water between the inner barrel and the outer
barrel will also reduce the concentration of the detergent/detergent power in the
washing liquor. At the same time, due to the frequent inflow and outflow of water
between the inner and outer barrels, , the area between the sidewalls of the inner
barrel and the outer barrel becomes a space for hiding dirt and dust due to continuous
usage. The incrustation of the tap water, the free substance of the washing power,
the cellulose of the clothes, the organic matter of the human body and the dust and
bacteria brought by the clothes can be easily trapped between the sidewalls of the
inner barrel and the outer barrel. These molds are bred due to a large amount of dirt
accumulated in the washing machine used for a long time that cannot be removed effectively.
If the dirt that the users cannot see is not removed, the bacteria would adhere to
the clothes and be brought to the human body after the next washing to cause cross-infection
problems.
[0003] Patent No.
200420107890.8 relates to a full-automatic washing machine, which mainly comprises a cabinet, a
washing and dewatering tub, a water-carrying tub and a driving device. The water-carrying
tub is arranged outside the washing and dewatering tub and is fixedly connected with
the cabinet. A sealing device is arranged between the bottom surface of the inner
wall of the water-carrying tub and the bottom surface of the outer wall of the washing
and dewatering tub, and a sealing cavity is formed inside the sealing device. The
outer side wall of the washing and dewatering tub has no holes, and the bottom of
the washing and dewatering tub is provided with the drainage holes communicated with
the sealing cavity. The water-carrying tub is provided with a first draining water
hole communicated with a drainage pipe, and the drainage pipe is provided with a drain
valve. The water-carrying tub is fixedly connected with the cabinet through a suspender.
One end of the suspender is connected with the inner wall of the upper of the cabinet,
while other end of the suspender is connected with the outer wall of the water-carrying
tub. However, the long-term operation of the sealing structure will cause abrasion,
it will result in abrasion and leakage of water after a long-term operation. If the
water quality is poor and the sediment content is high, the service life of the sealing
structure would be greatly shortened and it will not function properly. It is also
unsuitable for using under a state where the washing capacity is large, and the reliability
is poor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] As shown in Fig.1 and Fig.2, a washing machine without water between barrels of the
present disclosure comprises an inner barrel 1, an outer barrel 4. A plurality of
drainage holes 2 are arranged on the upper part near the upper edge of the inner barrel
1. At least one inner barrel drain outlet 3 is arranged at the bottom of the inner
barrel 1. A telescopic drain valve 10 capable of plugging the inner barrel water outlet
is arranged at the bottom of the outer barrel 4. An outer barrel drain outlet 5 is
arranged at the bottom of the outer barrel 4. A washing machine drainage pipeline
6 is arranged on the outer barrel drain outlet 5.
[0028] During washing process, the inner barrel is locked, and the inner barrel drain outlet
3 is plugged by the telescopic drain valve 10. There is water in the inner barrel
1, and there is no water between barrels. During drainage process, the inner barrel
drain outlet is opened by the telescopic drain valve 10. Most water in the inner barrel
1 is drained out from the inner barrel 1 through the inner barrel drain outlet 3,
and then the water is drained out through the outer barrel drain outlet 5 and the
washing machine drainage pipeline 6. During dehydration process, the inner barrel
1 is unlocked and carries out dehydrating. The water thrown out during dehydration
stage is moved upward under the centrifugal force, and is drained out from the inner
barrel through the drainage holes 2, and is drained to the space between the inner
barrel and the outer barrel, and then is drained out through the outer barrel drain
outlet 5 and the washing machine drainage pipeline 6.
[0029] The outer barrel 4 and the inner barrel 1 are concentrically arranged, and the distance
from the center of the inner barrel drain outlet 3 to the center of the inner barrel
1 is the same as the center of the outer barrel drain outlet 5 to the center of the
center of the outer barrel 4. When the inner barrel is draining water, the inner barrel
drain outlet 3 is facing to the outer barrel drain outlet 5, and the water flows out
from the inner barrel 1 directly through the outer barrel drain outlet 5 into the
washing machine drainage pipeline 6 for discharge. The drainage is smooth, and the
time for water staying between the inner barrel and outer barrel is short, and there
is no required for water to being firstly drained into the space between the inner
barrel and the outer barrel and then drained into the outer barrel drain outlet 5.
Preferably, the diameter of the outer barrel drain outlet 5 is larger than that of
the inner barrel drain outlet 3 to prevent the water flow from staying between the
inner barrel and the outer barrel, and prevent the dirt from staining on the inner
wall of the outer barrel.
[0030] When the washing machine is performing washing process, there is no water between
the inner barrel and the outer barrel. It can save the washing water, and about 20%
of the washing water can be saved each time. During draining water, most of the water
is drained away through the lower drain outlet. The thread scraps and the mud are
discharged with the water, and will not accumulate in the inner barrel. At the same
time, during dehydration and washing process, there is no relative movement between
the inner barrel and the plugging structure (telescopic drain valve) por plugging
the inner barrel drain outlet to avoid the abrasion.
[0031] The outer barrel 4 is provided with an air chamber 7, and the air chamber 7 can be
arranged on at the interior or the exterior of the outer barrel 4. In the present
invention, it is preferable that the air chamber 7 is disposed outside the outer barrel
4 so as not to affect the installation of the inner barrel 1 so as to increase the
capacity of the inner barrel 1 as much as possible. The air chamber 7 is communicated
with the inner barrel through the second pipeline. When there is water inside the
inner barrel 1, the water is able to enter the air chamber 7. A pressure sensor 19
is connected to the air chamber 7, and the water level of the inner barrel is detected
by the pressure sensor 19 detecting the air pressure inside the air chamber 7. This
detection method detects the water level, and the structure is simple, and the detection
result is accurate.
[0032] As shown in Fig.3 and Fig.4, in the present disclosure, the air chamber 7 is communicated
with the inner barrel 7 through the telescopic drain valve 10. The telescopic drain
valve 10 is of a hollow structure, and the upper part of the telescopic drain valve
is provided with a water inlet 12, and the lower part of the telescopic drain valve
is provided with a water outlet 13. The water outlet 13 is communicated with the air
chamber 7 through an elastic pipe 14. When the inner barrel drain outlet 3 is plugged
by the telescopic drain valve 10, the water of the inner barrel 1 is unable to enter
the space between the inner barrel 1 and outer barrel 4, however it can enter the
air chamber 7 through the hollow structure inside the telescopic drain valve 10 and
compress the air inside the air chamber. The pressure sensor 19 detects the air pressure
inside the air chamber 7 to obtain the water level of the inner barrel to realize
the detection and control of the water level. As the telescopic drain valve is reciprocated
up and down telescopically and the lower water outlet is movable, the elastic pipe
14 is arranged between the water outlet and the air chamber to achieve the connection
between the fixed air chamber 7 and the movable lower water outlet. Preferably, the
elastic pipe 14 is a hose or a bellows. The second pipeline comprises a hollow portion
of the telescopic drain valve and the elastic pipe.
[0033] As shown in Fig.5 and Fig.6, the telescopic drain valve 10 at least comprises a telescopic
valve plug. The valve plug comprises a telescopic valve rod 15 and an elastic sealing
cover 16 sleeved on the valve rod 15 and can expand and retract with the expansion
of the valve rod 15. The inner of the valve rod 15 is of a hollow structure, and the
upper part of the valve rod is provided with the water inlet 12, and the lower part
the valve rod is provided with the water outlet 13. The water inlet 12 is provided
with a gland. The upper part of the sealing sleeve 16 extends into the water inlet
12. The gland 17 is connected with the valve rod 15 and the sealing sleeve 16 is pressed
between the gland 17 and the valve rod 15. The lower water outlet is provided with
the hose or the bellows connected to the air chamber. The second pipeline comprises
the hollow portion of the telescopic valve rod and the hose or the bellows. The top
part of the gland 17 is of a hollow-out structure. The water in the inner barrel can
enter the interior of the valve rod 15 through the hollow structure and then flow
into the air chamber 17.
[0034] The top of the gland 17 is provided with a plurality of water holes, or the top of
the gland is of a grid structure, and the gap between the grids forms the water holes.
The water holes can block the thread scraps and other debris from entering the air
chamber.
[0035] The top of the gland 17 protrudes is convex upwards, and has a hemispherical arc
surface. A middle portion of the hemispherical arc surface is higher and a surrounding
portion of the hemispherical arc surface is lower, which is high in the middle and
low on all sides. The convex structure and the hemispherical arc surface can prevent
the thread scraps and other debris from staying and accumulating on the top of the
gland to block the water holes of the gland. The gland can connect the valve rod 15
and the sealing sleeve 16, and can also play a role in preventing the accumulation
of the lint.
[0036] When the telescopic drain valve 10 plugs the inner barrel drain outlet 3, the top
of the gland 17 is higher than the bottom of the inner barrel. When the telescopic
drain valve 10 enables the inner barrel drain outlet 3 to be open, the top of gland
17 is higher than the bottom of the outer barrel to further prevent the thread scraps
and other debris from staying and accumulating on the top of the gland to block the
water holes of the gland.
[0037] The sealing sleeve 16 is provided with a ring of elastic convex rib 18 located around
the gland 17. The diameter of the elastic convex rib 18 is larger than that of the
inner barrel drain outlet 3. When the telescopic drain valve 10 plugs the inner barrel
drain outlet 3, the elastic convex rib 18 is located at the bottom of the inner barrel
of at the outer periphery of the inner barrel drain outlet, and is pressed to realize
sealing. The gland 17 extends into the inner barrel drain outlet 3, and the top of
the gland 17 is higher than the bottom of the inner barrel. When the telescopic drain
valve 10 enables the inner barrel drain outlet 3 to be open, the elastic convex rib
18 can prevent the lint and other debris from being flushed to the top of the gland
17. At the same time, the top of the gland is higher than the bottom of the outer
barrel to prevent the thread scraps and other debris from staying and accumulating
on the top of the gland to block the water holes of the gland.
[0038] The telescopic drain valve 10 is fixed at the bottom of the outside of the outer
barrel 4, and extends upwards to the bottom of the inner barrel to plug the inner
barrel drain outlet 3. The elastic pipe 14 is arranged at the bottom of the outside
of the outer barrel 4, and is respectively connected with the lower water outlet of
the telescopic drain valve 10 and the air chamber. The water inside the washing machine
is drained through the outer barrel drain outlet 5, therefore when the washing machine
is draining water, the water inside the air chamber 7 cannot be thoroughly drained
away resulting in some residual water in the air chamber 7, which will cause bacteria
to grow in the air chamber for a long time. The air chamber of the present disclosure
is provided with an air chamber drain outlet 8 capable of discharging water in the
air chamber 7. The air chamber drain outlet 8 is opened periodically or every time
after the drainage of the washing machine is finished to prevent the water from remaining
in the air chamber.
[0039] Preferably, the air chamber drain outlet 8 is located at the very bottom of the air
chamber, to ensure that all water inside the air chamber is drained from the air chamber.
A control valve 11 is arranged at the air chamber drain outlet 8. The control valve
11 is closed when the washing machine is in the water-inlet state and in the washing
process. The control valve 11 is opened periodically or after the washing machine
finishes the drainage to discharge the water inside the air chamber.
[0040] The air chamber drain outlet 8 is communicated with the washing machine drainage
pipeline to discharge the water inside the air chamber through the washing machine
drainage pipeline 6. The air chamber drain outlet 8 is communicated with the washing
machine drainage pipeline 6 through a first pipeline 9. The first pipeline 9 is provided
with the control valve 11 capable of controlling the opening and closing of the first
pipeline. The first pipeline 9 is connected with the washing machine drainage pipeline
8 through a three-way joint.
[0041] The control valve 11 is provided with a traction motor, and the opening and closing
of the control valve is controlled by the traction motor. The traction motor is arranged
at the bottom of the outer barrel. Or the control valve is connected with a traction
motor of the telescopic drain valve 10, namely, the telescopic drain valve and the
control valve share the same traction motor to save the number of parts and save cost.
[0042] When the washing machine is subjected to carrying out washing process, the inner
barrel is locked, and the telescopic drain valve is controlled to plug the inner barrel
drain outlet. The water is fed into the inner barrel of the washing machine, and the
water inside the inner barrel enters the air chamber and compresses the air inside
the air chamber is compressed. The water level of the inner barrel is obtained by
detecting the air pressure of the air chamber. There is no water between the inner
barrel 1 and the outer barrel 4. During the drainage stage, the telescopic drain valve
is controlled to enable the inner barrel drain outlet to be open, and the water inside
the inner barrel is drained into the outer barrel. Preferably, after the telescopic
drain valve is controlled to enable the inner barrel drain outlet to be open, the
inner barrel is unlocked. The inner barrel is controlled to rotate until the inner
barrel drain outlet is directly facing to the outer barrel drain outlet, and most
of the water inside of the inner barrel 1 is drained out through the lower inner barrel
drain outlet 3. During dehydration stage, a minority of water is drained through the
upper drainage holes 2. After being drained into the space between the inner barrel
1 and the outer barrel 4, the minority of water is drained through the outer barrel
drain outlet 5 and the washing machine drainage pipeline 6. The air chamber 7 is provided
with the air chamber drain outlet 8. The air chamber drain outlet 8 is provided with
the first pipeline 9 connected with the washing machine drainage pipeline 6. Residual
water inside the air chamber 7 is drained through the air chamber drain outlet 8,
the first pipeline 9 and the washing machine drainage pipeline 6.
[0043] The air chamber 7 is communicated with the inner barrel through the second pipeline,
and the water of the inner barrel 1 enters the air chamber 7. The air chamber 7 is
connected with the pressure sensor 19, and the water level of the inner barrel is
detected by the pressure sensor 19 detecting the air pressure of the air chamber.
