Abstract

A spray system of a washing comprises a spray pipeline with one end being a water inlet and further comprises an air pressure communication device; and one side of the air pressure communication device communicates with the spray pipeline while the other side of the air pressure communication device communicates with an outer drum of the washing machine. The spray system has the advantage of simple structure. The outer drum of the washing machine can communicate with the spray pipeline by the air pressure communication device, the pressure of the outer drum of the washing machine is guaranteed to be the same as that of the spray pipeline, water in the spray pipeline can totally flow into the outer drum of the washing machine, and the problem of water dripping when a door is opened due to residual water in the spray pipeline is avoided.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A spray system of a washing machine, comprising a spray pipeline with one end being a water inlet, wherein, the spray system further comprises an air pressure communication device,
 one side of the air pressure communication device communicates with the spray pipeline, and another side of the air pressure communication device communicates with an outer drum of the washing machine.   
     
     
         2 . The spray system of the washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein, the air pressure communication device is arranged on the spray pipeline which is positioned at a downstream of the water inlet of the washing machine, at least one side of the air pressure communication device is arranged in the spray pipeline, and another side of the air pressure communication device communicates with the outer drum of the washing machine. 
     
     
         3 . The spray system of the washing machine according to  claim 2 , wherein, the air pressure communication device is arranged on the spray pipeline and is close to the water inlet. 
     
     
         4 . The spray system of the washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein, the air pressure communication device has a ‘switch-on’ state and a ‘switch-off’ state,
 when the air pressure communication device is in the ‘switch-on’ state, the outer drum of the washing machine communicates with the spray pipeline through the air pressure communication device. 
 
     
     
         5 .
