Detailed implementation manners

[0018] The preferred implementation manners of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these implementation manners are only used to explain the technical principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments according to needs to adapt to specific application scenarios. For example, the clothing care device described in the present invention can be a clothing care cabinet, an open clothing care rack, etc.; that is, the water supply and drainage device can be used for various clothing care devices, and such a change in the application object does not deviate from the basic principle of the present invention, so it will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms indicating directions or positional relationships such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. This is only for convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, so it cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0020] In addition, it should also be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "connection", "cooperation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication of components within two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0021] Based on the problem that the existing clothing care equipment in the background technology needs to be frequently filled with water and emptied during use; specifically, since the water storage box and the wastewater recovery box of the existing clothing care equipment are separately arranged, users need to regularly add water to the water storage box to ensure the normal water supply of the clothing care equipment. Users need to separately handle the water in the water storage box and the wastewater recovery box, that is, they need to take out the water storage box when adding water and take out the wastewater recovery box when emptying water, which is very inconvenient to operate. Moreover, the water in the wastewater recovery box cannot be recycled, resulting in a poor user experience. For this reason, the present invention provides a water supply and drainage device for a clothing care equipment. The clothing care equipment includes a water supply system and a drainage system. The water supply and drainage device includes a filtering component and a water storage member connected to each other; wherein, the filtering component is connected to the drainage system, and the filtering component can filter the water flowing in through the drainage system. The water storage member is connected to the water supply system, and the water storage member can store the water filtered by the filtering component.

[0022] It can be understood that by adding a filtering component to the water supply and drainage device of the present invention, the water supply and drainage device no longer needs to be provided with a wastewater recovery box, that is, the wastewater discharged through the drainage system only needs to be filtered by the filtering component and then can flow into the water storage member, and the water storage member is connected to the water supply system of the clothing care equipment. In other words, the water discharged through the drainage system flows into the water storage member after being filtered, and the water supply system can directly pump water from the water storage member for use, so that users do not need to operate multiple times, and the wastewater can be recycled, thereby effectively saving water resources.

[0023] Next, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , wherein, Figure 1 is the first exploded view of the preferred embodiment of the water supply and drainage device of the present invention; Figure 2 is the second exploded view of the preferred embodiment of the water supply and drainage device of the present invention. It should be noted that the clothing care equipment includes a water supply system and a drainage system; however, in order to more clearly show the specific structure of the water supply and drainage device, Figure 1 and Figure 2The specific structures of the water supply system and the drainage system are not shown. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific structures of the water supply system and the drainage system, as long as the water supply system can supply water to the care device of the clothing care equipment, and the drainage system can collect the waste water discharged during the operation of the clothing care equipment. In addition, the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure of the clothing care equipment, as long as the clothing care equipment includes a water supply system and a drainage system; at the same time, the clothing care equipment may include one or more clothing care devices, such as a steam ironing device, a drying device, etc. During the operation of the clothing care equipment, the water supply system can supply water to the clothing care device of the clothing care equipment, and the drainage system can collect the condensed water generated during the care of the clothing and a small amount of water leaked during the operation of the clothing care device, etc.

[0024] Further, as Figure 1 and 2 shown, the water supply and drainage device of the present invention includes a filter assembly 11 and a water storage member 12 that are connected in communication; wherein, the filter assembly 11 is connected to the drainage system, and the water storage member 12 is connected to the water supply system. It should be noted that, for the convenience of showing the internal structure of the water storage member 12, the water storage member 12 is split into two parts in the figure. By adding the filter assembly 11 to the water supply and drainage device, the water supply and drainage device no longer needs to be provided with a waste water recycling box, that is, the waste water discharged through the drainage system only needs to be filtered by the filter assembly 11 and then can flow into the water storage member 12, and the water storage member 12 is connected to the water supply system of the clothing care equipment. In other words, the water discharged through the drainage system flows into the water storage member 12 after being filtered, and the water supply system can directly pump water from the water storage member 12 for use, thereby realizing the recycling of water, effectively simplifying the user operation, and improving the user experience. Those skilled in the art can understand that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the connection manner between the filter assembly 11 and the drainage system and the connection manner between the water storage member 12 and the water supply system, as long as the drainage system can discharge the recycled water into the filter assembly 11, and the water supply system can supply the water in the water storage member 12 to the care device for use.

[0025] Further, as a preferred embodiment, the filtering component 11 includes a receiving member 111 and a filtering member 112 connected to the receiving member 111. A first water inlet 1111 is provided on the receiving member 111, and the filtering component 11 is connected to the drainage system through the first water inlet 1111. Specifically, the water discharged through the drainage system can enter the receiving member 111 through the first water inlet 1111. Then, the water flow in the receiving member 111 is filtered by the filtering member 112 to filter out impurities such as lint and solid particles in the wastewater, and then flows into the water storage member 12 for storage. By providing the receiving member 111, the present invention enables part of the wastewater to be temporarily stored in the receiving member 111, thereby effectively avoiding the problem that the drainage speed of the drainage system slows down due to the addition of the filtering operation, and further effectively ensuring the normal drainage of the clothing care device. Those skilled in the art can understand that although the filtering component 11 in this preferred embodiment includes the receiving member 111, technicians can obviously also set the specific structure of the filtering component 11 according to actual usage requirements. For example, the filtering member 112 can obviously also be directly provided in the drainage system, and this change in the installation position does not deviate from the basic principle of the present invention. At the same time, technicians can also set the specific structure of the filtering member 112 according to actual usage requirements. For example, the filtering member 112 can be a filter sand box, a filter net, etc.

[0026] As an embodiment, the water supply and drainage device further includes a water return member 16. One end of the water return member 16 can be inserted into the receiving member 111 through the first water inlet 1111 to be connected to the receiving member 111, and the other end is connected to the drainage system. Figure 1 and 2 Only a part of the water return member 16 is shown in the figure. When the water level in the receiving member 111 exceeds the predetermined water level, the water supply and drainage device can pump the water back into the drainage system of the clothing care device through the water return member 16 to form a circulating water path to control the amount of water in the receiving member 111, thereby effectively preventing the wastewater from overflowing from the receiving member 111.

[0027] Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment, one side of the containing member 111 is also provided with an opening 1112. When the filter member 112 is installed in place, the filter member 112 can cover the entire opening 1112 so that the water flowing into the containing member 111 through the opening 1112 can be filtered. The present invention sets one side of the containing member 111 as the opening 1112. When the filter member 112 is installed in place, the filter member 112 becomes one side of the containing member 111, that is, the water in the containing member 111 can be filtered through the side provided with the opening 1112, so as to effectively ensure the filtering speed of the filter assembly 11, thereby effectively ensuring the water circulation speed of the water supply and drainage device. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the technician can also set the connection relationship between the containing member 111 and the filter member 112 according to the actual use requirements. For example, the containing member 111 can also be connected to the filter member 112 through a pipeline, as long as the filter member 112 can filter the water in the containing member 111.

[0028] Next Read Figure 1 and Figure 2 As a preferred embodiment, the filter assembly 11 is arranged in the water storage member 12, so that the water after filtering by the filter member 112 can directly enter the water storage member 12, so as to omit the connection structure between the filter member 112 and the water storage member 12, thereby effectively reducing the risk of water leakage. Of course, the technician can also set the connection relationship between the filter member 112 and the water storage member 12 according to the actual use requirements. At the same time, the water storage member 12 is provided with a through hole 121, and the filter member 112 can be plugged and fixed to the containing member 111 through the through hole 121, so that the opening 1112 is covered. For example, the filter member 112 and the containing member 111 are provided with a sliding structure for plugging, and the bottom of the filter member 112 is provided with a hook, and the containing member 111 is provided with a hole, and the filter member 112 is fixed to the containing member 111 through the hook. Of course, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that the technician can also set the installation method and installation position of the filter member 112 according to the actual use requirements.

[0029] It should be noted that when the water supply and drainage device is installed in place, the filtering member 112 is inserted into the receiving member 111 in the vertical direction. Therefore, setting the through hole 121 at the top of the water storage member 12 will not cause leakage problems, and users can also achieve the quick installation and disassembly of the filtering member 112 through the through hole 121. It can be understood that the filtering member 112 is an element that needs to be frequently cleaned and replaced. Therefore, in the present invention, by setting the through hole 121 at the top of the water storage member 12 and setting the filtering member 112 to be connected to the receiving member 111 in a plug-in manner, users can quickly clean and replace the filtering member 112, thereby simplifying the user operation to the greatest extent.

[0030] Furthermore, a second water inlet 122 is also provided on the water storage member 12. When the water volume of the water supply and drainage device is insufficient, users can directly inject water into the water storage member 12 through the second water inlet 122 to effectively ensure the normal water supply of the water supply and drainage device. It can be understood that generally, the water added by users to the water storage member 12 is definitely clean water. Therefore, the second water inlet 122 can be directly provided on the water storage member 12 so that the water added by users can directly enter the water storage member 12; of course, technicians can also set the structure and installation position of the second water inlet 122 according to actual usage requirements. In another case, users can also discharge the water in the water storage member 12 through the second water inlet 122.

[0031] Then refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in this preferred embodiment, the water supply and drainage device further includes a water level detection member 13, and the water level detection member 13 is provided in both the accommodation member 111 and the water storage member 12. For the filtration assembly 11, the clothing care device can detect the water level height and the water outlet speed in the accommodation member 111 through the water level detection member 13 provided in the accommodation member 111, so as to effectively judge the usage degree of the filter member 112, so as to timely remind the user to clean or replace the filter member 112, and thus effectively ensure the filtration speed of the filtration assembly 11. In another case, the clothing treatment device can also regularly remind the user to pour water and clean the water supply and drainage device, so as to effectively ensure the cleanliness of the water supply and drainage device, and thus effectively avoid the growth of bacteria. For the water storage member 12, the clothing care device can detect the water level height in the water storage member 12 through the water level detection member 13 provided in the water storage member 12, so as to effectively judge whether there is a risk of water leakage in the water supply and drainage device; in other words, when the water level height in the water storage member 12 exceeds the predetermined height, the clothing care device can remind the user to drain water in time, and thus effectively ensure that the water supply and drainage device will not have a water leakage problem. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the technician can also selectively set the water level detection member 13 according to actual usage needs. At the same time, the technician can also set the specific type of the water level detection member 13 by himself, such as a float switch, etc.

[0032] Furthermore, the water supply and drainage device further includes a housing 14. Among them, the housing 14 includes a box body 141 and a cover body 142, and the cover body 142 can be detachably buckled to the box body 141. During the use of the water supply and drainage device, the box body 141 can be connected to the main body of the clothing care device, and the water storage member 12 and the filtration assembly 11 can be detachably connected to the box body 141. Preferably, the cover body 142 is fixedly connected to the water storage member 12, and a handle is provided on the cover body 142. Both the water storage member 12 and the accommodation member 111 are made of transparent materials. The user can detach the water storage member 12 from the box body 141 through the handle provided on the cover body 142, so that the user can better observe the usage situation in the water storage member 12 by disassembling, thereby effectively improving the user experience. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the water supply and drainage device may not include the housing 14, that is, the water storage member 12 can also be directly connected to the main body of the clothing care device; in other words, the technician can set the connection relationship between the water supply and drainage device and the main body of the clothing care device according to actual usage needs. In addition, the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific shapes and structures of the water storage member 12 and the accommodation member 111.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the water supply and drainage device further includes a water flow contact switch assembly 15. Part of the water flow contact switch assembly 15 is disposed at the water outlet of the water storage member 12, and the other part is disposed on the box body 141. The water flow contact switch assembly 15 is configured such that when the water storage member 12 is connected to the box body 141 in place, the water in the water storage member 12 can normally flow out from the water outlet; and when the water storage member 12 is detached from the box body 141, the water outlet of the water storage member 12 is closed and the water no longer flows out. It can be understood that by adding the water flow contact switch assembly 15 in the present invention, no water leakage occurs when the water storage member 12 is detached from the box body 141, thus effectively ensuring the user experience. At the same time, although the water supply and drainage device described in this preferred embodiment includes the water flow contact switch assembly 15, when the water storage member 12 is directly connected to the main body of the clothing care device, there is no need to provide a water flow contact switch assembly for the water supply and drainage device; in other words, those skilled in the art can adjust its specific structure according to actual usage requirements.

[0034] As a specific implementation manner, the part of the water flow contact switch assembly 15 disposed on the water storage member 12 may be a water sealing cover sleeved with a spring, and the part of the water flow contact switch assembly 15 disposed on the box body 141 may be a protrusion capable of squeezing the spring to generate deformation. When the water storage member 12 is detached from the box body 141, the spring can abut the water sealing cover against the water outlet of the water storage member 12, so that the water in the water storage member 12 does not flow out, in order to ensure that no water leakage occurs after the water storage member 12 is separated from the box body 141; and when the water storage member 12 is connected to the box body 141 in place, the protrusion can squeeze the spring to continue generating a greater amount of deformation, so that the water sealing cover is detached from the water outlet of the water storage member 12, and the water in the water storage member 12 can normally flow out, in order to ensure that the water storage member 12 can supply water normally. Those skilled in the art can understand that although the water flow contact switch assembly 15 described in this preferred embodiment has the above structure, those skilled in the art can obviously also set the specific structure of the water flow contact switch assembly 15 according to actual usage requirements.

[0035] Finally, as a preferred embodiment, the water supply and drainage device further includes a storage member (not shown in the figure), and the storage member is connected to the water storage member 12. Preferably, when the user removes the water storage member 12, the storage member will also be removed. At this time, the user can place items in and take them out. The user can put accessories such as filter screens and filter cartridges into the storage member for convenient access during replacement, thereby effectively improving the user experience. Of course, the water supply and drainage device may not include the storage member. Those skilled in the art can understand that the technical personnel can set the specific structure of the storage member according to actual usage requirements. For example, the storage member can be connected to the water storage member 12 or can be set independently.

[0036] So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
