A clothes lifting device for a washing machine includes a lifting shell, which is internally provided with an open cavity; a lifting base body, which covers the open end of the shell in a sealing mode to form an accommodating chamber; and an inlet water filtering portion, which is arranged on the shell and/or the base body to communicate with the chamber and is used for filtering inlet water of the chamber, and a centrifugal drainage assembly is arranged in the chamber, an initial state of the drainage assembly is a closed state, and the drainage assembly is opened for drainage under an action of centrifugal force. The accommodating chamber where the centrifugal drainage assembly is located becomes an area independent of the interior of the inner drum, the area is kept in communication with the inner drum through the water inlet filtering portion and can effectively filter thread scraps.

A clothes lifting device for a washing machine includes a body, which is internally provided with an accommodating chamber; water inlets, which are arranged in the body and communicate with the chamber; a centrifugal drainage assembly, which is arranged in the chamber, wherein the initial state of the centrifugal drainage assembly is a closed state, and the centrifugal drainage assembly is opened for drainage under the action of centrifugal force; and filtering assemblies, which are arranged on the water inlets of the body and are used for filtering water entering the chamber. The filtering assemblies can effectively filter thread scraps in water entering from the water inlets, so that the centrifugal drainage assembly is located in an environment without thread scraps or with few thread scraps, the possibility that the thread scraps are attached is fundamentally avoided, and the working reliability of the centrifugal drainage assembly is effectively guaranteed.

A laundry treating apparatus includes: a drum and a lifter that is disposed at an inner circumferential surface of the drum, that revolves, and that includes a frame cover and a lifter frame including (i) a frame base coupled to the inner circumferential surface of the drum and including a seating groove provided along a circumference of the frame base, (ii) a frame upper plate spaced apart from the frame base, and (iii) a frame sidewall connecting the frame upper plate to the frame base. The frame cover includes a cover upper plate and a cover sidewall having a lower end mounted on the seating groove to couple to the frame base and an upper end connected to the cover upper plate. A drain hole is defined at the seating groove and provides fluid communication between an upper surface and a lower surface of the frame base.

A front-load laundry appliance includes a drum that is rotationally operable within a tub about a generally horizontal rotational axis. A plurality of lifters are coupled to an interior surface of the drum. A fluid delivery path is at least partially defined within the drum and the plurality of lifters. A fluid delivery system delivers fluid into the fluid delivery path in a direction parallel to the generally horizontal rotational axis.

A laundry washing machine comprising: a cabinet, a washing tub housed inside the cabinet, a drum rotatably housed inside the tub, and an electric liquid supplying device mounted in or on the drum and configured for dispensing a liquid in an inner region of the drum. The invention is also related to a method for operating such a laundry washing machine.

An inner drum cover is provided at a drum opening of an inner drum of a washing machine, the inner drum cover is used to open or close the drum opening, so that the inner drum forms a closed container after the drum opening is closed by the inner drum cover. The inner drum can perform washing after the inner drum cover is correspondingly fastened to the drum opening, so that clothes only come into contact with washing water in the sealed inner drum in a washing process. In this way, a case in which the clothes are contaminated because washing water between the inner drum and an outer drum flows into the inner drum is avoided, washing cleanliness of the washing machine is greatly improved, and incomplete washing of the clothes caused by contamination of the washing water between the inner drum and the outer drum is avoided.

A laundry washing machine having a cabinet, a washing tub housed inside the cabinet, a drum rotatably housed inside the cabinet, an electric additive treating device mounted in/on the drum and configured for treating a washing and/or rinsing additive loaded within the drum in such a way to generate within the drum a solution of washing and/or rinsing additive water. A method for operating such a laundry washing machine is also provided.

A laundry lifting device for a washing machine includes a body with an accommodating chamber, a water inlet arranged in the body and communicated with the accommodating chamber, and a centrifugal drainage assembly arranged in the accommodating chamber. The centrifugal drainage assembly includes a sealing plunger capable of doing reciprocating motion and an elastic piece for elastically resetting the sealing plunger, the body is provided with a plunger base for installing the sealing plunger, and the elastic piece is kept limited in the plunger base in the reciprocating motion process of the sealing plunger. The elastic piece is installed in the plunger base in the sealing mode, and the elastic piece is kept limited in the plunger base in the reciprocating motion of the sealing plunger. So thread scraps are prevented from being hung on the elastic piece.

A laundry treating apparatus includes: a drum, a first lifter disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the drum, and a second lifter that is disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the drum at a position rearward of the first lifter. Each of the first lifter and the second lifter includes at least one insertion protrusion. The drum defines: a first group of one or more mounting slots in a first area of the drum; and a second group of one or more mounting slots in a second area of the drum. The second area is disposed rearward relative to the first area and overlaps with at least a portion of the first area of the drum, and the at least one insertion protrusion is configured to selectively insert into the one or more mounting slots in the first group or the second group.

A front-load laundry appliance includes a drum that is rotationally operable within a tub about a generally horizontal rotational axis. A plurality of lifters are coupled to an interior surface of the drum. A fluid delivery path is at least partially defined within the drum and the plurality of lifters. A fluid delivery system delivers fluid into the fluid delivery path in a direction parallel to the generally horizontal rotational axis.
