Abstract

The invention provides a multifunctional connector, a water inlet assembly, and a washing machine, and relates to the technical field of washing machines. The multifunctional connector comprises a connector body, and the interior of the connector body is divided into a first cavity and a second cavity which are independent of each other by a partition plate; the first cavity is provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet and used for being connected with a liquid supply flow path; the second chamber is provided with a gas inlet and a gas outlet and is used for connecting a gas outlet and / or a gas-liquid mixture flow path; a bubble breaking structure capable of piercing bubbles is formed on the inner wall of the second cavity connected between the air inlet and the air outlet; the position of the gas outlet on the connector body is higher than or equal to the position of the air inlet on the connector body; the bubble breaking structure is higher than or equal to the position of the air inlet; and liquid formed after the bubbles are punctured by protrusions can be discharged from the air inlet along the inner wall of the second cavity. The three functions of water inlet, defoaming and exhaust are achieved, pipeline arrangement is simplified, and the problem that potential safety hazards are generated due to the exhaust defoaming problem of the washing machine with the connector is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of washing machines, in particular to a multifunctional joint, a water inlet assembly and a washing machine. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the washing machine has become an indispensable household appliance for people, but it will cause some problems during use, affecting user experience and even safety. At present, during the washing process of the washing machine, due to the use of high-foaming detergent or excessive detergent, it is easy to cause a large amount of foam during the washing process. If the foam cannot be effectively eliminated, it will not only affect the washing effect of the clothes, but also affect the dehydration work. , such as unsuccessful dehydration or large vibration, etc., which will affect the user experience and the structural life of the washing machine. Therefore must carry out defoaming design to washing machine, but the fast...
