Description

Drainage system and washing machine system

Technical Field

The application relates to the field of water resources, in particular to a drainage system and a washing machine system.

Background

At present, the drainage mode of the washing machine has two different modes of upper drainage and lower drainage: the lower drainage is a method of directly discharging water from the lower part by using the pressure difference of the water; the upper drainage is mainly realized by pumping water through a water pump. When the water pump pumps up, a part of water level needs to be reserved in the high-hanging water inner pipe, so that the drain pipe needs to be hung high. However, in either way, the effluent of the washing machine is directly discharged from the sewer, and the water is not recycled. The washing process of the washing machine can be generally divided into three stages of washing, rinsing and dewatering, the water quality of the discharged water in the washing stage is poor due to the fact that a large amount of foam, dirt and the like are contained, the water quality of the discharged water in the rinsing and dewatering stages is relatively good, and the discharged water can be collected to be used for household miscellaneous purposes such as mop rinsing, closestool flushing and the like. Therefore, if the reuse of the effluent of the washing machine is realized, it is necessary to drain the effluent of the washing stage and store the effluent of the rinsing and dehydrating stages. However, no technology for separating the effluent water of different stages of the washing machine to recycle the water in the washing machine has been proposed.

Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a configuration of a drainage system apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, a drainage system includes: a switching device 5; a first drain conduit 12; a collection duct 11; and a water storage device 7. Wherein the inlet of the switch device 5 is connected with the water outlet 4 of the washing machine 3; one end of the first drainage pipe 12 is connected with a first outlet of the switch device 5, and the other end of the first drainage pipe 12 is connected with a public drainage pipe network; and the water storage means 7 is connected with a second outlet of the switching means 5 via a collecting conduit 11, and wherein the switching means 5 is configured for switching between a first state and a second state, wherein in the first state the switching means 5 closes the first outlet, and in the second state the switching means 5 closes the second outlet.

As described in the background art, the drainage of a washing machine currently has two different ways of drainage: the lower drainage is a method of directly discharging water from the lower part by using the pressure difference of the water; the upper drainage is mainly realized by pumping water through a water pump, and when the water pump works in an upper pumping mode, a part of water level needs to be reserved in a water inner pipe which is hung high, so that the drainage pipe needs to be hung high. However, in either way, the effluent of the washing machine is directly discharged from the sewer, and the water is not recycled. The washing process of the washing machine can be generally divided into three stages of washing, rinsing and dewatering, the water quality of the discharged water in the washing stage is poor due to the fact that a large amount of foam, dirt and the like are contained, the water quality of the discharged water in the rinsing and dewatering stages is relatively good, and the discharged water can be collected to be used for household miscellaneous purposes such as mop rinsing, closestool flushing and the like. Therefore, if the reuse of the effluent of the washing machine is realized, it is necessary to drain the effluent of the washing stage and store the effluent of the rinsing and dehydrating stages. However, no technology for separating the effluent water of different stages of the washing machine to recycle the water in the washing machine has been proposed.

Aiming at the technical problem, the technical problem that water in the washing machine is not recycled is solved. The drainage system of this embodiment includes: a switch device 5, a first drain pipe 12, a collecting pipe 11 and a water storage device 7. Wherein, the inlet of the switch device 5 is connected with the water outlet 4 of the washing machine, when water enters the washing machine 3 and the working state of the washing machine 3 is in the washing mode, the discharged water flows into the switch device 5 from the water outlet 4, and the flow direction of the water can be controlled by controlling the switch device 5. One end of the first drainage pipeline 12 is connected with a first outlet of the switch device 5, and the other end of the first drainage pipeline 12 is connected with a public drainage pipe network. When the water in the washing machine 3 flows to the first drain pipe 12 through the switching device 5, the water in the washing machine 3 can flow to the public drain pipe network through the first drain pipe 12. So that the waste water generated during the washing operation of the washing machine 3 can directly flow into the sewer to be discharged. The water storage device 7 is connected with a second outlet of the switching device 5 through a collecting pipeline 11. When the operation state of the washing machine 3 is the rinsing and dehydrating mode, the switching device 5 makes the water in the washing machine 3 flow into the collecting pipe 11, and the water in the collecting pipe 11 flows to the water storage device 7 for mopping, flushing and the like. Wherein the switching device 5 is switchable between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the switching device 5 is able to close the first outlet; in the second state, the switching device 5 is able to close the second outlet. The switch device 5 controls the first outlet and the second outlet to respectively control the water flow direction when the washing machine 3 is in different working states, so that the discharged water of the washing machine 3 can be discharged to a public drainage pipe network when the washing machine 3 is in a washing mode, and the discharged water of the washing machine 3 can be stored in the water storage device 7 for recycling and utilization when the washing machine 3 is in a rinsing and dewatering mode.

So that the switching device 5, the first drain conduit 12, the collecting conduit 11 and the water storage device 7 control the classification and utilization of water by cooperatively controlling the flow direction of water in different operating states of the washing machine 3 during the operation of the washing machine 3.

Therefore, in the above manner, the drainage system and the washing machine system described in the embodiment can achieve the purpose of recycling the water in the washing machine. The technical problem that water in the washing machine is not recycled in the prior art is solved.

Optionally, the switching device 5 comprises: a control module 16; a first solenoid valve 17 in communicative connection with the control module 16; and a second solenoid valve 18 communicatively connected to the control module 16, wherein the control module 16 is configured to communicate with the washing machine 3 and control the first solenoid valve 17 and the second solenoid valve 18; and a first solenoid valve 17 is provided at the first outlet and a second solenoid valve 18 is provided at the second outlet.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the switching device 5 includes: a control module 16, a first solenoid valve 17, and a second solenoid valve 18. Wherein the first solenoid valve 17 and the second solenoid valve 18 are both communicatively coupled to the control module 16. A first solenoid valve 17 is mounted on the first outlet and a second solenoid valve 18 is mounted on the second outlet. Therefore, the first solenoid valve 17 controls the opening and closing of the first outlet, and the second solenoid valve 18 controls the opening and closing of the second outlet. For example, when the washing machine does not work, the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are both in a power-off state, and the valve core is closed. When the washing machine works, the control module 16 receives a washing starting signal in a washing mode, the first electromagnetic valve is electrified, the valve core is opened, the second electromagnetic valve is powered off, the valve core is closed, and water enters a sewer through the drainage pipeline 12. When the water storage device enters the rinsing mode, the control module 16 receives a rinsing signal, the second electromagnetic valve is electrified, the valve core is opened, the first electromagnetic valve is powered off, the valve core is closed, and water enters the water storage device 7 through the collecting pipeline 11. In the dewatering mode, the control module 16 receives a rinsing start signal, the second electromagnetic valve is electrified, the valve core is opened, the first electromagnetic valve is powered off, the valve core is closed, and water enters the water storage device 7 through the collecting pipeline 11. After the control module 16 receives the rinsing end signal, the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are both in a power-off state, and the valve core is closed. Thus, the control module 16 can classify and utilize the flow direction of the water in different operation states of the washing machine by controlling the first solenoid valve 17 and the second solenoid valve 18. Thereby achieving the purposes of fully utilizing the waste water and saving water resources.

Optionally, the control module 16 comprises: a communication device communicating with the washing machine 3; and a processor connected to the communication device, and the first solenoid valve 17 and the second solenoid valve 18 are connected to the processor in communication.

Specifically, although not shown in fig. 1, the control module 16 may include, for example, a communication device (e.g., a communication device having a bluetooth communication function) and a microprocessor connected to the communication device, wherein the microprocessor having the bluetooth communication function is included in the washing machine 3 when the washing machine 3 is in different operating states. The washing machine 3 sends communication signals related to washing, rinsing, dehydration start and dehydration end. The control module 16 receives different commands according to different signals sent by the washing machine, thereby controlling the first solenoid valve 17 and the second solenoid valve 18. For example, when the washing machine 3 is not operating, both the first solenoid valve 17 and the second solenoid valve 18 are in the de-energized state, and the valve cartridge is closed. When the washing machine works, the control module 16 receives a washing starting signal in a washing mode, the first electromagnetic valve 17 is electrified, the valve core is opened, the second electromagnetic valve 18 is powered off, the valve core is closed, and water enters a sewer through the drainage pipeline 12. When the water storage device enters the rinsing mode, the control module 16 receives a rinsing signal, the second electromagnetic valve 18 is electrified, the valve core is opened, the first electromagnetic valve 17 is powered off, the valve core is closed, and water enters the water storage device through the collecting pipeline 11. In the dewatering mode, the control module 16 receives a rinsing start signal, the second electromagnetic valve 18 is electrified, the valve core is opened, the first electromagnetic valve 17 is powered off, the valve core is closed, and water enters the water storage device through the collecting pipeline 11. After the control module 16 receives the rinsing end signal, the first electromagnetic valve 17 and the second electromagnetic valve 18 are both in a power-off state, and the valve core is closed. Thus, the control module 16 and the washing machine 3 are connected in communication via the processor, so that the control module 16 can receive and execute different commands sent by the washing machine 3. Furthermore, the washing machine 3 is controlled to have different water flow directions under different working conditions, so as to achieve the purpose of saving water resources. Furthermore, optionally as a further alternative, the functionality of the communication means may also be integrated in the processor. For example, the control module 16 comprises a processor having a communication function and communicating with the washing machine 3, and the first solenoid valve 17 and the second solenoid valve 18 are communicatively connected to the processor.

Optionally a non-return valve 6 arranged in the collecting duct 11.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, a check valve 6 is provided at the collecting duct 11, and the check valve 6 can prevent the reverse flow of water. Thereby enabling the water in the washing machine 3 to flow in a fixed direction and facilitating the storage of clean water.

Optionally, the bottom of the water storage device 7 is provided with a drain outlet 9, and the drain outlet 9 of the water storage device 7 is connected with a public drain network through a second drain pipe 13.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the bottom of the water storage device 7 is provided with a drain outlet 9. When water in the washing machine 3 flows to the water storage device 7, whether the water flows into the second drain pipe 13 can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the drain port 9. The second water discharge duct 13 is connected to a public drain network, and water flowing into the second water discharge duct 13 when the water discharge port 9 is opened can be directly transferred to the public drain network. Therefore, the redundant water in the water storage device 7 can flow out smoothly, and the stability of the water storage device 7 is kept.

Optionally, the upper part of the water storage device 7 is provided with an overflow port 8, and the overflow port 8 is connected with a public drain network through a third drain pipe 14.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, an overflow port 8 is provided at an upper portion of the water storage device 7, and when the water storage device 7 is gradually filled with water, the water flows out of the overflow port 8 and flows through a third drain pipe 14. The third water discharge line 14 is connected to a common water discharge network. When water overflows from the overflow port 8, it flows into the municipal drainage pipeline. So that the result of using different water flows through different pipes can be achieved. Thereby achieving the purpose of classified utilization of water.

Alternatively, the inlet of the opening and closing device 5 is connected to the drain 4 of the washing machine 3 through a fourth drain duct 20.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the opening and closing device 5 is connected to the drain port 4 of the washing machine 3 by a fourth drain line 20 at one end. Wherein the fourth drain conduit 20 is capable of causing water in the washing machine 3 to flow in the direction of the switching device 5. So that the water in the washing machine 3 can be controlled by the switching device 5 to determine its final flow direction. Thereby, the purpose that different types of water play different roles can be achieved.

Alternatively, the washing machine 3 is disposed on the ground 15, and the water storage device 7 is disposed in an underground space below the ground 15.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the washing machine 3 and the water storage 7 are installed in different spaces.
