WASHING MACHINE FLOCCULATION APPARATUS WITH SELF-CLEANING FUNCTION, AND WASHING MACHINE

摘要

A flocculation apparatus (5) of a washing machine with a self-cleaning function and the washing machine are disclosed. The flocculation apparatus (5) includes a flocculation container (1) and a stirring mechanism, and further includes a washing mechanism for scouring an inner wall of the flocculation container, the washing mechanism includes a water throwing impeller (12) and a drive motor (13) for driving the water throwing impeller (12) to rotate; inlet water is thrown by the water throwing impeller (12) to the inner wall of the flocculation container (1) to perform washing; and the stirring mechanism includes a stirring motor (14) installed outside the flocculation container (1), a stirring shaft (15) extending into the flocculation container (1) and a stirring impeller (16) installed on the stirring shaft (15). The washing machine includes an outer drum (3); and the outer drum (3), the flocculation apparatus (5), and a filter apparatus (6) are sequentially and circularly communicated with one another through a pipeline (4). The present invention adopts the stirring mechanism completely opposite to the design of the existing stirring impeller, so that not only can the mixing of the flocculants and the washing sewage be accelerated, but also the flocculates can be prevented from being scattered, and the structure is simple; and the flocculation apparatus is self-cleaned, so that the automation degree is increased, the structure is simple, and the production cost can be saved.
