Abstract

A washing machine includes a cabinet; a rotating tub rotatably provided in the cabinet and having a peripheral wall and/or a bottom wall provided with a water outlet; a water receiving pan provided in the cabinet and having at least a portion located below the rotating tub, the water receiving pan having a side peripheral wall extending upwards and being higher than the water outlet, and a height difference between an upper edge of the side peripheral wall of the water receiving pan and an outer bottom face of the rotating tub being less than a half of a height of the rotating tub.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A washing machine, comprising:
 a cabinet, configured to form the main body of the washing machine;   a rotating tub rotatably provided in the cabinet, configured to receive water and clothes to be washed, wherein the rotating tub comprises a peripheral wall and/or a bottom wall provided with a water outlet; and   a water receiving pan, configured to receive the water comes from the rotating tub through the water outlet, wherein the water receiving part is provided in the cabinet and having at least a portion located below the rotating tub, the water receiving pan having a side peripheral wall extending upwards and being higher than the water outlet, and a height difference between an upper edge of the side peripheral wall of the water receiving pan and an outer bottom face of the rotating tub being less than a half of a height of the rotating tub.   
     
     
         2 . The washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the water receiving pan has a water receiving groove therein, and the water receiving groove is provided with a drain port at the lowest area thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The washing machine according to  claim 2 , wherein a bottom wall face of the water receiving groove is provided with a water storage groove recessed downwards. 
     
     
         4 . The washing machine according to  claim 3 , wherein a bottom wall face of a water storage groove is provided with a water drain groove further recessed downwards, and the drain port is provided in a bottom wall face of the water drain groove. 
     
     
         5 . The washing machine according to  claim 4 , wherein the water storage groove is located at an outer periphery of the bottom wall face of the water receiving groove and extends along a circumferential direction of the water receiving groove. 
     
     
         6 . The washing machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a water guide cover provided to an internal peripheral wall face of the rotating tub and covering the water outlet, the water guide cover being provided with a water inlet and defining a water guide cavity in communication with the water inlet and the water outlet, liquid in the rotating tub lifted under an action of a centrifugal force entering the water guide cavity through the water inlet and being discharged to the water receiving pan through the water outlet.   
     
     
         7 . The washing machine according to  claim 6 , wherein the water inlet is provided in an upper portion of the water guide cover, and the water outlet is provided in a lower portion of a peripheral wall of the rotating tub. 
     
     
         8 . The washing machine according to  claim 7 , wherein the water inlet is provided in an upper end of the water guide cover, and the water outlet is adjacent to the bottom wall of the rotating tub. 
     
     
         9 . The washing machine according to  claim 6 , wherein a plurality of water outlets are provided and arranged in a circumferential direction of the rotating tub and spaced apart from each other; a plurality of water guide covers are provided and arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotating tub and spaced apart from each other; and each water guide cover covers at least one corresponding water outlet. 
     
     
         10 . A washing machine, comprising:
 a cabinet;   a rotating tub rotatably provided in the cabinet and having a peripheral wall and/or a bottom wall provided with a water outlet;   a water receiving pan provided in the cabinet and having at least a portion located below the rotating tub, the water receiving pan having a side peripheral wall extending upwards and being higher than the water outlet, and a height difference between an upper edge of the side peripheral wall of the water receiving pan and an outer bottom face of the rotating tub being less than a half of a height of the rotating tub; and   a pulsator rotatably provided in the rotating tub.
