The invention provides a water inlet method of a washing
machine. A detergent box, a water inlet
pipe and a water
inlet valve are arranged in the washing
machine, and the water inlet
pipe is used forsupplying water into the detergent box. A
siphon and an overfall gap are arranged in the detergent box. The method includes the steps of A, mixed water inlet; B,
siphon water inlet; C, executing the step A and the step B multiple times. By arranging the
siphon water inlet step, a detergent in the detergent box is sufficiently dissolved, and the detergent at the bottom of a cavity can be easily discharged through siphon; the detergent is prevented from being left in the detergent box, and the
utilization rate of the detergent and the rinsing clean ratio are increased; by arranging the mixed water inlet step before the siphon water inlet step, on one hand, the water inlet speed of the washing
machine can be increased, for instance, the water inlet speed is too slow when only the siphon waterinlet step is adopted, and the water inlet time is too long; on the other hand, the detergent high in concentration is prevented from being directly sprinkled on clothes in a washing tub, and the uniformity of the concentration of the detergent in the washing tub is facilitated.
