Patent number: 11072881Abstract: A drainage control mechanism comprises a valve plug capable of being stretchable and retractable, wherein the valve plug moves upwards to close the drainage port of an inner tub, and moves downwards to open the drainage port. A lower end of the valve plug is connected with a link of a crank-link structure, an idle stroke is arranged between the link and a crank, and/or between the link and the valve plug. When the valve plug sticks out but not into the drainage port, the valve plug will stick to the bottom of the inner tub, the driving motor drives the crank or the link to move in the idle stroke. When the driving motor drives to move over the highest point, the driving motor further drives the valve plug to move downwards to reset and to re-enter the next working circle.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2016Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignees: HAIER SMART HOME CO., LTD., CHONGQING HAIER WASHING MACHINE CO., LTD.Inventors: Hai Shu, Baozhen Cheng, Lin Yang, Lingchen Wang, Dafeng Fang, Jie Xu

Patent number: 10415172Abstract: A control method for automatically positioning an inner tub. When the inner tub rotates to a certain position, a positioning pin at the bottom of an outer tub is released to press against the bottom of the inner tub, the inner tub continues to rotate, and when a positioning hole at the bottom of the inner tub is aligned with the positioning pin, the positioning pin stretches into the positioning hole, and thus the inner tub is locked. After the positioning pin is released, the inner tub continues to rotate under the effect of inertia, or the inner tub continues to rotate under the drive of a motor, when the inner tub rotates to the position where the positioning hole is aligned with the positioning pin, the positioning pin stretches into the positioning hole to achieve automatic positioning and locking of the inner tub.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2015Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: QINGDAO HAIER WASHING MACHINE CO., LTD.Inventors: Peishi Lv, Lin Yang, Wenting Xu, Dafeng Fang, Yun Tian, Mingyan Shao
