Based on the above washing machine control method, the embodiment of the present application further provides a washing machine, which includes a box body 3, a surrounding frame 2, a water inlet valve and a micro-bubble generating device 4, wherein: a washing drum 10 is arranged in the box body 3; the enclosure frame 2 is arranged above the box body 3, and the interior of the enclosure frame 2 is of a hollow structure; the micro-bubble generating device 4 is arranged in the enclosure frame 2, the micro-bubble generating device 4 comprises a water inlet part 42, a water outlet part 43 and a water discharging part 44, the water inlet part 42 is connected with a water inlet valve through a first pipeline 61, the water outlet part 43 is connected with the washing cylinder 10 through a third pipeline 7, and the water discharging part 44 is connected with the washing cylinder 10 through a water discharging valve 8.
According to the space structure in the enclosure frame 2, the invention is provided with the water inlet valve, the pipeline and the exclusive micro-bubble generating device 4, and the prior washing machine is not required to be greatly changed, thereby being convenient for popularization.
The washing drum 10 may be a single drum, or may be composed of an outer drum and an inner drum nested together.
The micro bubble water generated in the micro bubble generating device 4 is easily discharged by providing the water inlet part 42 and the water outlet part 43 on the micro bubble generating device 4, and the water discharge part 44 is provided at the bottom for discharging the residual water after the micro bubble water is generated in the micro bubble generating device 4.
In the present embodiment, the water inlet valve includes a first water inlet valve 51 and a second water inlet valve 52, the first water inlet valve 51 is connected to the water inlet portion 42 of the microbubble generator 4 through a first pipeline 61; the second inlet valve 52 is connected to the washing drum 10 through a second pipeline 62.
In the present embodiment, the microbubble generation device 4 includes:
a main body 41 having an accommodating space therein for accommodating tap water and air, a water inlet part and a water outlet part provided at one side surface of an upper part of the main body, and a water discharge part provided at a bottom end of the main body;
the water outlet pipe 45 is arranged in the accommodating space, the water outlet pipe 45 comprises a transverse section 452 and a vertical section 451, one end of the transverse section 452 is connected with the water outlet part 43, the other end of the transverse section 451 is connected with the vertical section 451, and the water inlet end of the vertical section 451 extends to the inner lower bottom surface of the main body 41;

By providing the water outlet pipe and extending the water inlet end of the water outlet pipe 45 to the inner lower bottom surface of the main body 41, a closed space is formed in the microbubble generation device 4 to generate microbubble water.
In the present embodiment, the main body 41 is provided in an L-like configuration. By arranging the main body in an L-like configuration and designing the edges in a streamline shape, the volume of the main body can be expanded while taking into account the installation problem of the microbubble generator 4.
The process of generating microbubbles by the microbubble generator 4 is as follows: running water flows through the water inlet part 42 and enters the main body 41, the water inlet end of the water outlet pipe 45 is sealed after the water level in the main body 41 rises to form sealed air, the water level further rises to compress the sealed air, the air is promoted to be dissolved in a large amount of water, under the pushing of the running water pressure, the water dissolved with a large amount of air enters the water outlet part 43 along the water outlet pipe, and because the micro-bubble generating mechanism is arranged in the water outlet part 43, the air dissolved in the water is separated out and generates a large amount of micro-bubble water.

Since the size of the internal space of the microbubble generator main body 41 is fixed and the amount of the enclosed air is also fixed, as tap water continuously enters and forms microbubble water, the enclosed air is continuously consumed until the air is completely consumed, and microbubbles cannot be generated, so that the amount of the microbubble water generated by the microbubble generator enclosing air once is basically constant.
Meanwhile, since the amount of the residual water is fixed, the speed at which the water flows out under the gravity is also fixed, and thus the preset drainage time t is set.
