Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The disclosure belongs to the technical field of washing machines, and particularly relates to a spray system of a washing machine and a washing machine.
  • BACKGROUND
  • After clothes are washed by the original drum washing machine, a small amount of foams always exist on a window gasket and glass, when a user takes the clothes, the clothes may be contaminated by the foams, and the clothes even need to be rinsed again when the amount of the foams is large. Along with increasing of demands of users, double-spray design is used on most of high-end washing machines, when programs are about to be finished, the foams on the window gasket and the glass of a washing machine can be cleaned thoroughly. However, in the existing structural design, a spray head is connected with a water inlet valve by a quite long hose generally, and the spray head directly sprays. No pressurization or pressure division design is used in the structure, and when water pressure is too small, insufficient spray water amount or uneven spray and the like on two spray nozzles may be caused. After spray is finished, because the pressure in the drum of the washing machine is greater than the pressure of the outside, part of water in a spray pipe cannot be sprayed out completely, and at the moment when the user opens the door, water in the spray pipe may drip out of the machine.
  • The Chinese patent CN201410014368 discloses a water supply unit of a washing machine, which comprises a water supply unit cover plate. The water supply unit cover plate comprises a water cavity which allows cold water to circulate, a water inlet is formed in one side of the water cavity, and a water outlet is formed in the bottom of the water cavity. The water supply unit cover plate is further provided with an air hole which feed hot steam discharged from an outer drum into the water supply unit cover plate so as to condense and liquefy the hot steam.
