FLANGE STRUCTURE AT BOTTOM OF WASHING MACHINE INNER DRUM, AND WASHING MACHINE

摘要

A flange structure at the bottom of a washing machine inner drum, and washing machine; the washing machine comprises an outer drum (1) and an inner drum (2); a flange (5) is installed at the bottom of the inner drum (4); the flange (5) comprises a coupling part (6) in the center of the flange (5), and an annular mounting part (7) on the periphery of the coupling part (6) and fixedly connected to the inner drum bottom (4) of the washing machine; a plurality of connecting parts (8) are disposed between the mounting part (7) and the coupling part (6); each connecting part (8) comprises a main rib (81) extending from the mounting part (7) to the coupling part (6), and a plurality of transverse secondary ribs (82) disposed on both sides of the main rib (81) and sequentially arranged extending from the main rib (81), the plurality of connecting parts (8) cooperating with one another to form a filtration unit between the mounting part (7) and the coupling part (6). The flange (5) has a simple structure and a low cost, is convenient to install, enables lint and unnecessary articles such as coins and buttons accidentally dropped into the inner drum (2) to be discharged out of the inner drum (2) along with the water, and prevents other parts disposed between the inner drum and the outer drum from flowing with the water through the flange (5) into the inner drum (2).
