Abstract

A washing machine and a washing method thereof comprises at least one washing tub for washing or containing water, and the tub is arranged with a washing medium layer which is a polymer adsorption layer. The present invention, depending on the washing medium layer arranged on the washing tub, is to handle the dirt on the clothes and in the washing water, to achieve the purpose of washing, which not only simplifies the washing procedure like other ordinary washing machines, but also greatly reduces the material cost and the manufacturing cost. In addition, the wearing to clothes is less serious during washing.

Claims (19)

1 . A washing machine, comprising at least one washing tub for washing or containing water, wherein, a washing medium layer is arranged on at least one washing tub.

2 . The washing machine according to claim 1 , wherein, the medium layer is coated or installed on an inner surface and/or an outer surface of a wall of the washing tub, and/or coated or installed on a lifting block arranged on the washing tub.

3 . The washing machine according to claim 2 , wherein, a surface of the medium layer is smooth, or provided with a plurality of continuous or discontinuous humps, or of porous structure.

4 . The washing machine according to claim 1 , wherein, the medium layer is an interlayer containing solid polymer particles and being fixed on the inner surface and/or the outer surface of the wall of the washing tub.

5 . The washing machine according to claim 4 , wherein, an interlayer wall is provided with through-holes for washing water flowing through.

6 . The washing machine according to claim 5 , wherein, a diameter of the through-hole is 0.5-1.5 mm.

7 . The washing machine according to claim 4 , wherein, the surface of the particles are of porous structure.

8 . The washing machine according to claim 4 , wherein, the surface of the interlayer wall is smooth, or provided with a plurality of continuous or discontinuous humps, or of porous structure.

9 . The washing machine according to claim 4 , wherein, a middle space of the interlayer is completely through.

10 . The washing machine according to claim 4 , wherein, the interlayer includes a plurality of chambers separated from each other, and the solid particles are contained in each chamber.

11 . The washing machine according to claim 10 , wherein, the chambers are fixed on the wall of the washing tub in the continuously corrugated form, or the chambers are arranged on the wall of the washing tub dispersedly.

12 . The washing machine according to claim 1 , wherein, the washing medium layer is a polymer adsorption layer.

13 . The washing machine according to claim 12 , wherein, the polymer comprises hydrophilic and hydrophobic components, as well as a surfactant component.

14 . The washing machine according to claim 3 , wherein, the holes on the surface of the medium layer, the particles and the interlayer wall are of mutually disconnected structure, and a diameter of the hole is 0.01-0.1 mm.

15 . A washing method, wherein, a washing tub is provided with a washing medium layer via which dirt on clothes and/or in washing water is handled during a washing process to complete the clothes washing.

16 . The washing method according to claim 15 , wherein, before the clothes washing, a process of adding the washing water to the washing tub is included; and the clothes is soaked in the washing water.

17 . The washing method according to claim 16 , wherein, when the washing water is added to soak the clothes, the clothes need to be soaked for a certain time.

18 . The washing method according to claim 15 , wherein, after the completion of washing the clothes, a process of making the medium layer and/or the clothes dehydrated, and/or a process of providing hot wind to the washing tub to dry the clothes and/or the medium layer are included.

19 . The washing method according to claim 15 , wherein, the washing medium layer is a polymer adsorption layer which is to adsorb the dirt on the clothes and/or in the washing water.
