Washing machine and water discharging control method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a washing machine and a water discharging control method thereof. The washing machine comprises a machine shell, a water discharging box, a water discharging pipe, a water levelsensor and a stirring mechanism. The water discharging box is used for collecting water flowing out of a washing barrel of the washing machine. The water discharging box is provided with an upper water discharging port and a lower water discharging port which are arranged up and down in a spaced manner, and the upper water discharging port is higher than the lower water discharging port. The water discharging pipe is provided with a tail end pipe section, a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe, the first branch pipe is connected with the upper water discharging port, the second branch pipe is connected with the lower water discharging port, and the tail end pipe section is lower than the lower water discharging port. The water level sensor is arranged on the tail end pipe section ofthe water discharging pipe and used for controlling rotation of the stirring mechanism, accordingly, water in the water discharging box is stirred so that the water can be elevated to the upper waterdischarging port, and then water is discharged through the water discharging pipe. The washing machine combines the water discharging manners of upward water discharging and downward water discharging, universality is improved, the washing machine adapts to different water discharging installing structures of user families, the application range is wide, and the problem that a user cannot conductinstallation is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of washing equipment, in particular to a washing machine and a drainage control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Washing machines currently on the market are specifically divided into an upper drainage mode and a lower drainage mode according to the height setting of the drain outlet. Among them, the lower drainage is that the wastewater flows to the floor drain under the action of gravity, and the upper drainage method is discharged through the water pump that comes with the machine. [0003] Since the drainage method has been fixed during the production of the machine, when customers purchase the machine, they must know in advance which drainage method the drainage installation structure of the bathroom or balcony in their home is. If the user purchases it by himself, he does not know whether the installation location of the home is the upper drainage or the lower drainage location, he may mi...
