Benefits of technology

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a compact and less costly portable clothes washer by integrating a wash component with a control component while eliminating the tub body, so as to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior clothes-washing machines.
[0016] Since the bulky tub body of the prior clothes-washing machine is eliminated, the portable clothes washer of the present invention is less costly, and is compact and convenient for users to put into a traveling bag. Moreover, since a washing receptacle, like a washstand or a bathtub, is provided in service sites like hotels, the portable clothes washer of the present invention can be widely used.

Problems solved by technology

Generally, clothes-washing apparatus in the present market include domestic or commercial clothes-washing machines, which are bulky and not portable.
With this type of clothes-washing machine, to wash clothes of 0.5 Kg, a 300 mm high tub body with 200-300 mm diameter is needed; such a large tub body is still too big and not convenient to be carried for outgoing.
It is undue wasteful to use the present domestic or commercial clothes-washing machines in some cases, e.g., for people putting up in a hotel who have little clothes to be washed, or for people staying at home who need to specifically wash a few clothes (e.g. socks).
Therefore, in the present hotels, a washstand or a bathtub is usually provided, but a clothes-washing machine is not provided in each room, and it is not convenient to wash clothes for the guests.

embodiment 1

[0025] In this embodiment, a portable clothes washer adopts ultrasonic technology and makes use of cavitation effect of high frequency mechanical oscillations so as to implement the function of washing clothes. Wherein the wash component is constructed by a vibration plate 101 and an ultrasonic transducer 102.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, the clothes washer is in the shape of a stick, comprising a vibration plate 101, an ultrasonic transducer 102, a shell 103, a controller 104, a switch 105 of the controller 104, and a clamp 106. Wherein the vibration plate 101 is installed at one end of the shell 103, the ultrasonic transducer 102 is fixed with the vibration plate 101, the ultrasonic transducer 102 is electrically connected with the controller 104, the controller 104 is disposed inside the shell 103, and the switch 105 is installed on the outer wall of the shell 103. The other end of the shell 103, which is opposite to the end where the vibration plate 101 is located, is designed wit...

embodiment 2

[0033] A portable clothes washer of this embodiment is shown in FIG. 2. As compared to embodiment 1, the difference is that, in this embodiment, the wash component adopts an impeller driven by a motor. The details are as follows:

[0034] The portable clothes washer of this embodiment comprises an impeller 201, a retarder 202, a motor 203, a shell 204, a controller 205, a switch 206 of the controller 205, and a clamp 207. Wherein the switch 206 is installed on the outer wall of the shell 204, the rotation direction and intermittent of the motor 203 is controlled by the controller 205, the output speed from the motor 203 is reduced by the retarder 202, and the rotation speed of the impeller 201 is lower. The impeller 201 is installed at one end of and outside the shell 204, and in turn in the shell 204 are disposed the retarder 202, the motor 203 and the controller 205. Similarly to that in embodiment 1, the other end of the shell 204, opposite to the location where the impeller 201 is...

embodiment 3

[0040] A portable clothes washer of this embodiment is shown in FIG. 3. As compared to embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, the difference is that, in this embodiment, the wash component is a combination of the ultrasonic washing means and the impeller washing means, which are integrated into the same shell; so that, different washing modes can be chosen according to specific conditions, which is more convenient for users. The details are as followings:

[0041] The portable clothes washer of this embodiment comprises a shell 301; an impeller washing means including a motor switch 302, a motor controller 303, a motor 304, a retarder 305, an impeller 306; and an ultrasonic washing means including a transducer switch 307, a transducer controller 308, an ultrasonic transducer 309, a vibration plate 310; and a clamp 311. Wherein the structure and working principle of the ultrasonic washing means and the impeller washing means are the same as those in embodiment 1 and in embodiment 2 respectivel...
