DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A double-head drainage pump of a washing machine disclosed by the present disclosure is described in details below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the double-head drainage pump of the washing machine disclosed by the present disclosure particularly adopts the following technical scheme.

A double-head drainage pump of a washing machine, comprises a pump housing in which a water inlet 8 is formed, at least one first water outlet 2 and at least one second water outlet 6 are formed in the pump housing. A first drainage motor 1 is mounted on the pump housing corresponding to the first water outlet 2 and a second drainage motor 10 is mounted on the pump housing corresponding to the second water outlet 6. The first drainage motor 1 controls opening/closing of the first water outlet 2, and the second drainage motor 10 controls opening/closing of the second water outlet 6.

In the double-head drainage pump of the washing machine, provided by the disclosure, the first water outlet 2 and the second water outlet 6 which share one water inlet are formed in the pump housing. The first water outlet 2 is used for realizing drainage of the washing machine, and the second water outlet 6 is used for realizing water reusing drainage, so that the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the present disclosure can be suitable for the drum washing machine with a water reusing function and is high in integration level of the whole structure, simple in structure and easy to mount.

The pump housing of the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the present disclosure at least comprises a first pump housing 4 and a second pump housing 9 which internally communicate with each other. The water inlet 8 and the first water outlet 2 are formed in the first pump housing 4, and the second water outlet 6 is formed in the second pump housing 9; and the first drainage motor 1 is mounted on the first pump housing 4, and the second drainage motor 10 is mounted on the second pump housing 9.

The pump housing of the present disclosure realizes internal communication but is not integrally designed, and comprises two parts including the first pump housing 4 and the second pump housing 9 which realizes internal mutual communication, so that the first pump housing 4 and the second pump housing 9 can be separately designed according to actual drainage needs. Particularly, the first pump housing 4 and the second pump housing 9 mainly depend on drainage lifts of the first water outlet 2 and the second water outlet 6, and generally, the larger the drainage lifts of drainage holes are, the larger the volumes of the arranged pump housings are.

However, because the second water outlet 6 is connected to a water reusing system in the actual process, and the water reusing system needs to carry out a filter process on washing water, the drainage lift of the second water outlet 6 needs to be smaller than that of the first water outlet 2 so as to ensure sufficient filtering to reach good filtering effects. Therefore, the volume of the second pump housing 9 needs to be smaller than that of the first pump housing 4. In addition, with the design that the volume of the second pump housing 9 is smaller than that of the first pump housing 4, the volume of the whole structure of the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the present disclosure can be reduced, so that too long length of the double-head drainage pump in a certain direction is prevented, and mounting is more convenient.

Therefore, the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the present disclosure can realize the effects of water reusing and drainage and can replace the following complex structures and parts, such as a three-way valve.

In the present disclosure, because the design manner that the volume of the second pump housing 9 is smaller than that of the first pump housing 4 is adopted, the water inlet 8 needs to be formed in the first pump housing 4, so that the water inlet quantity of the water inlet 8 can be increased as much as possible. It ensures smooth water outgoing of the first water outlet 2 and the second water outlet 6 and avoids the condition that drainage discontinuous of the drainage holes as the water inlet quantity of the water inlet 8 is limited by the volume of the second pump housing 9.

Specifically, a third water outlet which communicates with the water inlet 8 is also formed in the first pump housing 4 of the present disclosure, and the second pump housing 9 is connected with the third water outlet so as to realize internal mutual communication between the first pump housing 4 and the second pump housing 9.

The first pump housing 4 of the present disclosure comprises a first pump housing body 401, a water inlet pipe 402, a first water outlet pipe 403 and a third water outlet pipe 404.Wherein the first pump housing body 401 is internally provided with a hollow channel, the water inlet pipe 402, the first water outlet pipe 403 and the third water outlet pipe 404 communicate with the hollow channel of the first pump housing body 401 separately. And the water inlet 8, the first water outlet 2 and the third water outlet are correspondingly formed at the end parts of the water inlet pipe 402, the first water outlet pipe 403 and the third water outlet pipe 404.

Drained water of the drum washing machine disclosed by the present disclosure enters the internal hollow channel of the pump housing body 401 of the first pump housing 4 through the water inlet pipe 402 and then separately enters the first water outlet pipe 403 and the third water outlet pipe 404 which communicate with the hollow channel. And the drained water in the third water outlet pipe 404 enters to the second pump housing 9 so as to separately introduce the drained water into the two pump housings. Drainage of the drained water in the first pump housing 4 is controlled by the first drainage motor 1 and the second drainage motor 10 separately, while the drained water in the second pump housing 9 is only controlled by the second drainage motor 10.

As a preferred implementation of the present disclosure, the water inlet pipe 402, the first water outlet pipe 403 and the third water outlet pipe 404 communicate with the side wall of the first pump housing body 401.The third water outlet pipe 404 and the water inlet pipe 402 are arranged on a same plane, and the third water outlet pipe 404 and the first water outlet pipe 403 are arranged on different planes. In this way, the second pump housing 9 is arranged on one side of the first pump housing 4 in the manner that the second pump housing 9 and the first pump housing 4 are in parallel, and the whole axial length of the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the present disclosure is reduced.

Further preferably, the third water outlet pipe 404 and the water inlet pipe 402 are arranged on the same side of the first pump housing body 401. In this way, the second pump housing 9 and the water inlet pipe 402 are arranged on the same side of the first pump housing 4, so that transverse width during mounting is reduced, and mounting is more convenient.

For enabling drainage to be smooth and residual pollutants to successfully flow into the pump housing so as to facilitate manual cleaning, as a preferred implementation of the present disclosure, the water inlet 8 of the water inlet pipe 402 is formed in the manner of slanting upward by 5-15 degrees.

How to realize communication between the second pump housing 9 and the first pump housing 4 is an important technical problem needing to be solved by the present disclosure, specifically, the following two technical schemes can be adopted.

Scheme I is that the third water outlet pipe 404 of the present disclosure is an L-shaped pipeline, one end of the third water outlet pipe 404 integrally communicates with the side wall of the first pump housing 4, and the other end integrally communicates with the inner part of the second pump housing 9. In this way, the first pump housing 4 and the second pump housing 9 are integrally formed, the industrial integration degree is higher, and the assembly is simpler and more convenient.

Scheme II is that a second pump housing water inlet 901 which communicates with the second water outlet 6 is formed in the second pump housing 9 of the present disclosure and is connected with the third water outlet of the first pump housing 4. Specifically, the second pump housing water inlet 901 communicates with the third water outlet of the first pump housing 4 through a connector 15, and preferably, the connector 15 is a soft water pipe. In this way, the first pump housing 4 and the second pump housing 9 are assembled after being separately processed, so that processing is simpler; while connection is easier to realize by adopting the soft water pipe, and the processing accuracy requirements are reduced.

In a word, the first pump housing 4 and the second pump housing 9 are arranged in a split mode, and the second pump housing 9 communicates with the first pump housing 4 through the connector 15; or the first pump housing 4 and the second pump housing 9 are integrally formed.

As a preferred implementation of the present disclosure, the whole body of the first pump housing 4 of the present disclosure adopts a columnar structure with a hollow channel inside, specifically a cylindrical structure. An end part of one end of the columnar structure is provided with the first drainage motor 1, and the water outlet direction of the first water outlet 2 is vertically upward, i.e., the axis of the first water outlet 2 is arranged perpendicular to the medial axis of the columnar structure. An end part of the other end of the columnar structure is a disc-shaped first pump housing mounting part 5, a threaded mounting hole is formed in the first pump housing mounting part 5. And the first pump housing 4 is mounted on the inner wall of a front panel of the drum washing machine through threads. The third water outlet pipe 404 and the water inlet pipe 402 both communicate with the side wall of the columnar structure and are located on the same side.

As a preferred implementation of the present disclosure, the drainage lift of the second water outlet 6 is smaller than that of the first water outlet 2. Specifically, the drainage lift of the second water outlet 6 is 0.2-0.8 m, so that the second water outlet 6 is more suitable for effectively carrying out filter treatment on reused water in the water reusing system.

As a preferred implementation of the present disclosure, a first check structure 3 is arranged on the first water outlet 2, a second check structure 7 is arranged on the second water outlet 6. The second check structure 7 is integrally formed by a soft material and comprises an annular mounting part 703 and a disc-shaped check part 701, the mounting part 703 sleeves the pipe wall of the second water outlet 6, and the check part 701 covers the second water outlet 6.

The check structure is arranged at each of the two water outlets of the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the present disclosure, so that water reflux can be avoided, and secondary pollution is avoided.

As the drainage lift of the second water outlet 6 is smaller, the inside diameter of the second water outlet 6 is also smaller, and the second check structure 7 with a simple structure is designed according to such structure characteristics of the second water outlet 6 in the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8, the second check structure 7 is integrally formed by the soft material and comprises the mounting part 703, the check part 701 and a connecting column 702 for connecting the mounting part 703 and the check part 701.The mounting part 703 sleeves the pipe wall of the second water outlet 6, and the check part 701 covers the second water outlet 6 under a natural state. The check part 701 is opened under the action of a water flow when the water flow flows out from the second water outlet 6 and more tightly covers the second water outlet 6 under the action of a reverse water flow. So the second water outlet 6 can only carry out one-way drainage, water cannot reversely flow back into the second pump housing 9, and the check action is realized. Therefore, the second check structure 7 of the present disclosure is simpler in structure, more convenient to mount and obvious in check effect.

Embodiment 1

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the present embodiment discloses a strengthened connector suitable for a double-head drainage pump of a washing machine. The double-head drainage pump comprises at least two drainage pumps which share one water inlet 8, the two drainage pumps of the double-head drainage pump are integrally connected through the strengthened connector 11, and the strengthened connector 11 is fixedly mounted on a washing machine mounting plate 12.

With different structures of the two drainage pumps of the double-head drainage pump, the double-head drainage pump is uneven in stress, so that vibration is easy to generate, and the two drainage pumps are prone to damage during the vibration if connection between the two drainage pumps is not firm enough. Therefore, the strengthened connector 11 of the present embodiment enables the two drainage pumps to be firmly connected together on account of the structural characteristics of the double-head drainage pump, and the two drainage pumps are fixedly mounted on the washing machine mounting plate 12 through the strengthened connector 11 to guarantee the stability of mounting.

And the two mounting parts are arranged in a fore and aft staggering manner in the axial direction of the double-head drainage pump, so that the two drainage pumps are arranged in the fore and aft staggering manner in the axial direction.

The strengthened connector 11 of the present embodiment comprises two mounting parts, and the two mounting parts are staggered fore and aft in the axial direction of a pump housing so as to realize replacement of a radial space with an axial space. Specifically, because pump housing connecting parts for connecting drainage motors are arranged on the pump housing, the radial sizes of the pump housing connecting parts are generically larger to ensure the mounting stability of the drainage motors, and the two pump housing connecting parts are integrally connected with each other through the strengthened connector 11 at the same time and are mounted on the washing machine mounting plate 12. If the two pump housing connecting parts are arranged on the same radial end surface, the radial mounting distance between the two pump housing connecting parts needs to be enlarged, while the two mounting parts of the strengthened connector 11 are arranged in the fore and aft staggering manner in the axial direction of the pump body, so that the two pump housing connecting parts are mounted in the fore and aft staggering manner in the axial direction. And the adjacent parts of the two pump housing connecting parts can be axially overlapped, and the mounting distance on the same radial end surface is saved.

As shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the strengthened connector comprises a first connecting part 1102, a second connecting part 1104 and a connecting part 1105, wherein the first connecting part 1102 and the second connecting part 1104 are arranged in the fore and aft staggering manner in the axial direction of the double-head drainage pump, and the connecting part 1105 is arranged between the first connecting part 1102 and the second connecting part 1104 to connect the first connecting part 1102 and second connecting part 1104 for one piece.

In the present embodiment, the first connecting part 1102 is connected with one drainage pump of the double-head drainage pump, the second connecting part 1104 is connected with the other drainage pump, and the first connecting part 1102 and the second connecting part 1104 are arranged in the fore and aft staggering manner and are integrally connected with each other through the connecting part 1105. Therefore, the two drainage pumps of the double-head drainage pump are integrally connected with each other through the strengthened connector 11 and are arranged in the fore and aft staggering manner, and the radial mounting space is saved.

A first mounting hole 1101 used for being connected with the double-head drainage pump is formed in the first connecting part 1102 of the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the embodiment. A second mounting hole 1103 used for being connected with the double-head drainage pump is formed in the second connecting part 1104, fixed mounting can be carried out by adopting bolts or screws, and the mounting manner is simpler and more convenient.

In the present embodiment, the strengthened connector 11 of the double-head drainage pump is fixedly mounted on the washing machine mounting plate 12, so that the double-head drainage pump is fixedly mounted on the washing machine mounting plate 12. And specifically, a part of the lower part of the first connecting part 1102 extends downward to form a first supporting mounting part 1110, a part of the lower part of the second connecting part 1104 extends downward to form a second supporting mounting part 1108, and the first supporting mounting part 1110 and the second supporting mounting part 1108 are used for being mounted on the washing machine mounting plate 12.

The supporting mounting parts connected with the washing machine mounting plate 12 are arranged at the lower parts of the corresponding mounting parts of the strengthened connector 11 of the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the embodiment, so that multi-point supporting action is applied to the strengthened connector 11, and mounting stability of the double-head drainage pump is further guaranteed.

Specifically, in order to enable the strengthened connector 11 of the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the embodiment to be fixedly mounted on the washing machine mounting plate 12, at least two supporting mounting legs 1109 are arranged on each of the first supporting mounting part 1110 and the second supporting mounting part 1108 in the perpendicular direction, and a mounting clamping position 1106 used for being mounted on the washing machine mounting plate 12 in a clamping manner is formed between every two corresponding supporting mounting legs 1109.

The present embodiment realizes fixed mounting of the strengthened connector 11 by adopting a manner of enabling the mounting clamping position 1106 formed between every two corresponding supporting mounting legs 1109 to be mounted in a clamping manner on the washing machine mounting plate 12.Correspondingly, mounting holes are formed in the washing machine mounting platel2, the first supporting mounting part 1110 and the second supporting mounting part 1108 go deep into the corresponding mounting holes separately, and the two supporting mounting legs 1109 are mounted on the washing machine mounting plate 12 in a clamping manner So the mounting manner of the strengthened connector 11 of the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the embodiment is simpler and more convenient. In addition, a damping cushion can sleeve each of the supporting mounting legs 1109, so that the damping action on the double-head drainage pump is realized, and noise in the using process is reduced.

In order to further strengthen the supporting action of the strengthened connector 11 on the double-head drainage pump, the first connecting part 1102 and a supporting part 1107 of the strengthened connector 11 of the present embodiment extend in the perpendicular direction to form two supporting ribs 1111. And the supporting ribs 1111 are both supported on the upper surface of the washing machine mounting plate 12. The supporting stability can be further strengthened through the supporting action of the supporting ribs 1111.

Further, the supporting ribs 1111 are arranged in parallel with the supporting mounting legs 1109, and the supporting ribs 1111 and the supporting mounting legs 1109 are arranged on the same side of the strengthened connector 11 or arranged on the two sides of the strengthened connector 11 separately. Preferably, the supporting ribs 1111 and the supporting mounting legs 1109 are arranged on the two sides of the strengthened connector 11 separately, so that effective supporting action can be applied to the two sides of the strengthened connector.

In order to further reduce the length of the pump housing in the radial direction, the mounting directions of the two drainage motors are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first connecting part 1102 of the strengthened connector 11 is transversely arranged, the second connecting part 1104 is vertically arranged, and a part of one side of the second connecting part 1104 transversely extends to form the supporting part 1107, and the supporting part 1107 and the first connecting part 1102 are arranged in reverse directions. With vertical arrangement of the second connecting part 1104 disclosed by the embodiment, support on the second connecting part 1104 after connection of the double-head drainage pump is insufficient or poor, so that a part of one side of the second connecting part 1104 transversely extends to form the supporting part 1107, and the supporting part 1107 can further support the second connecting part 1104 to ensure the whole mounting stability.

The strengthened connector 11 of the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the embodiment is an integrally stamped sheet metal piece, so that the integrity of the strengthened connector 11 is stronger, and the connection stability effect is better.

Specifically, the two drainage pumps of the double-head drainage pump of the double-head drainage pump disclosed by the present embodiment respectively comprise a first pump housing 4 and a second pump housing 9 which internally communicate with each other. And the water inlet 8 is formed in the first pump housing 4; and the strengthened connector comprises two mounting parts used for mounting the first pump housing 4 and the second pump housing 9 correspondingly.

Further, the first pump housing 4 and the second pump housing 9 are arranged in parallel, a first pump housing mounting part is arranged at the end part of one end of the first pump housing 4 and a second pump housing mounting part is arranged at the end part of one end of the second pump housing 9, and a first drainage motor 1 is mounted on the first pump housing mounting part and a second drainage motor 10 is mounted on the second pump housing mounting part. The two mounting parts of the strengthened connector are correspondingly connected with the first pump housing mounting part and the second pump housing mounting part, so that the first pump housing mounting part and the second pump housing mounting part are arranged in the fore and aft staggering manner in the axial direction.

The strengthened connector 11, the first drainage motor 1 and the second drainage motor 10 of the present embodiment are all connected to the pump housing mounting parts, so that the strengthened connector 11 and the drainage motors can share one mounting hole position without independently forming another hole position, and mounting is simpler.

The double-head drainage pump comprises a pump housing, a water inlet and at least two water outlets sharing the water inlet are formed in the pump housing, opening/closing of the two water outlets are respectively controlled by two drainage motors. The filter 13 is arranged among the two water outlets and the water inlet inside the pump housing and the filter 13 comprises at least two water outlet parts corresponding to the two water outlets, and a filter part is arranged on at least one water outlet part.

The filter 13 of the embodiment is arranged inside the pump housing of the double-head drainage pump and located among the two water outlets and the water inlet, so that drained water of the washing machine is drained from the two water outlets after being filtered. The filter 13 of the embodiment can filter out threads and sundries in the drained water so as to prevent the threads and the sundries from blocking the water outlets.

Additionally, due to different drainage actions of the two water outlets of the present embodiment, the filter part can be arranged on only one of the two water outlet parts according to the concrete design needs. Thus the structure of the filter is simplified, and the manufacturing cost is reduced on the basis of meeting the filter requirements.

The filter of the present embodiment comprises a frame-shaped body 1305, wherein a water inlet part 1301 and a second water outlet part 1302 are arranged between two side frames of the frame-shaped body 1305, and a first water outlet part 1303 is arranged at the end part, inside the pump housing, of the frame-shaped body 1305.

The drained water of the first water outlet part 1303 of the embodiment is directly drained out from the washing machine, so that the drained water is not filtered to a great extent, and only the threads and the sundries in the drained water need to be filtered out; and in addition, excessive filtering can influence the drainage speed of the first water outlet part 1303.So the first water outlet part 1303 of the embodiment directly communicates with the water inlet part 1301.

Further, a cross rib position is arranged on the first water outlet part 1303 of the embodiment to be used for filtering out the threads and the sundries in the drained water and preventing the threads and the sundries from blocking the water outlet corresponding to the first water outlet part 1303.

As a preferred implementation of the embodiment, the end part of one end, inside the pump housing, of the frame-shaped body 1305 is a closed base 1310, and the closed base 1310 is of a disc shape and is in contact with the inner wall of the pump housing. The first water outlet part 1303 is a boss-shaped water outlet formed in the closed base 1310.

The drained water of the water outlet corresponding to the second water outlet part 1302 of the embodiment is introduced into a water reusing system of the washing machine, and the water reusing system reuses the drained water after filtering and purifying the drained water. So the requirement for the filtering degree of the water drained from the second water outlet part 1302 is higher, and the filter part with a higher filtering degree needs to be arranged on the second water outlet part 1302 so as to filter out the threads or the sundries to the maximum degree.

As a preferred implementation of the embodiment, the second water outlet part 1302 is in tight contact with the pump housing, and the filter part is arranged on the second water outlet part 1302.

As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, specifically, the second water outlet part 1302 comprises a bottom wall 1308, a first side wall 1306 and a second side wall 1307, the first side wall 1306 and the second side wall 1307 are connected with the bottom wall 1308, the bottom wall 1308 is connected with the two side frames of the frame-shaped body 1305.A water outlet chamber is formed among the bottom wall 1308, the first side wall 1306, the second side wall 1307 and the inner wall of the pump housing and the water outlet chamber is respectively communicated with one water outlet and one water inlet.
