Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of washing machine technology, and more particularly to a clothes handling rack and a washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, and the enhancement of their material foundation and living conditions, people's awareness of hygiene has gradually increased. More and more users need to separate and wash different types of underwear and intimate apparel, or wash small amounts of underwear promptly. Common underwear washing machines in our lives typically have only one washing unit. Therefore, users are no longer satisfied with the traditional "one-tub washing" method and have proposed healthier washing requirements—"one machine, multiple washing"—where a single washing machine can effectively differentiate between washing modes for underwear, briefs, and socks.

[0003] Traditional washing methods (hand washing or machine washing) can easily cause clothing deformation, especially shape-measuring garments such as bras, whose shape is easily altered. The washing effect on bras often fails to meet user expectations. Furthermore, the inadequate design of bra-holding mechanisms during machine washing significantly shortens the lifespan of shape-measuring garments like bras. Currently, research on lingerie washing machines is not very in-depth, particularly regarding the separate washing of intimate apparel such as lingerie. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention discloses a clothes handling rack and a washing machine, which can at least solve the problem of reduced lifespan of clothes caused by mixed washing or hand washing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0006] The first aspect of this invention discloses a clothing handling rack, comprising:

[0007] The main body of the processing rack is a cylindrical structure, and its outer side wall forms a clothing support structure;

[0008] The tray is disposed at the bottom of the processing rack body, and the tray is configured as a ring structure along the outer periphery of the bottom of the processing rack body; the outer circle of the tray is provided with a baffle structure, and a detachable partition plate is provided between the baffle structure and the processing rack body, the partition plate dividing the space between the baffle structure and the processing rack body into multiple washing areas.

[0009] Alternatively, the sidewall of the main body of the processing rack may have a fluid passage structure for the flow of washing water.

[0010] Further optionally, the fluid passage structure is a grid structure, the grid structure is composed of grid bars, and the grid bars form a flow-expanding structure on the end face facing the spray direction of the washing water.

[0011] Optionally, the tray is further provided with water-repellent ribs, wherein the tray is located at the bottom of the processing frame body and is configured as a ring structure along the outer periphery of the bottom of the processing frame body, and multiple water-repellent ribs are provided along the circumference of the tray.

[0012] Optionally, a mounting base is formed inside the main body of the processing rack, and the top of the mounting base is integrally formed with or detachably connected to the top edge of the main body of the processing rack.

[0013] The bottom wall of the mounting base is provided with a mounting structure for connecting to the drive mechanism.

[0014] Alternatively, the mounting base may be a mounting barrel, the opening of which is integrally formed with the top edge of the processing frame body;

[0015] The mounting structure is provided at the bottom of the mounting bucket.

[0016] Alternatively, the sidewall of the mounting barrel is coaxially arranged with the main body of the processing rack, wherein its diameter gradually increases along the direction from the top to the bottom of the main body of the processing rack.

[0017] A second aspect of the present invention discloses a washing machine, comprising:

[0018] Outer drum;

[0019] The garment rack as described in any of the preceding items is rotatably disposed inside the outer tub;

[0020] A drive mechanism, connected to the garment processing rack, is used to drive the garment processing rack to rotate.

[0021] Alternatively, the clothing rack may be a clothing rack with a mounting bucket.

[0022] The washing machine also includes a clothes washing component, which is rotatably disposed within the mounting tub and connected to the drive mechanism.

[0023] The drive mechanism can drive the clothes handling rack and the clothes washing unit to rotate simultaneously, or the drive mechanism can drive either the clothes handling rack or the clothes washing unit to rotate individually.

[0024] Optionally, a partition tub is provided inside the outer tub and connected to the bottom wall of the outer tub. The annular space between the partition tub and the outer tub constitutes the external washing area.

[0025] An internal washing area is formed within the partitioned tub.

[0026] Further, optionally, the washing machine further includes:

[0027] A spraying device is provided on the outer tub and the nozzles of the spraying device are located on one or both sides of the side wall of the main body of the processing rack, for spraying the laundry on the clothes processing rack.

[0028] Beneficial effects: By dividing the washing tub into zones, this invention reduces the washing space for bras and increases the number of washing chambers for bras, further improving the efficiency of the lingerie washing machine. In addition, the design of this structure not only limits the space of the bras during the washing process, but also protects the shape of the bras during washing, reducing the deformation of the bras during the washing process and further extending the service life of the bras.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] The terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “Multiple” generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.

[0045] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0046] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system that includes said element.

[0047] To further illustrate the technical solution of this invention, the following is combined with... Figures 1-12 As shown, the following specific embodiments are provided.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a clothing handling rack 10 includes:

[0050] The main body of the processing rack 11 is a cylindrical structure, such as a cylindrical structure or a frustum-shaped cylindrical structure.

[0051] The tray 12 is disposed at the bottom of the processing rack body 11, and the tray 12 is configured as a ring structure along the outer periphery of the bottom of the processing rack body 11.

[0052] The enclosure structure 14 is set on the outer circle of the tray 12, and a partition plate 113 is provided between the enclosure structure 14 and the main body of the processing rack. The partition plate 113 divides the space between the enclosure structure 14 and the main body of the processing rack into multiple washing compartments.

[0053] Preferably, the divider 113 is detachably disposed between the enclosure structure 14 and the main body of the garment rack. It should be noted that when the divider 113 is removed, the garment rack can be used as a single washing area, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the main body 11 of the processing rack is a frustum-shaped cylinder with a side wall taper of 5°-10° being optimal. This design is beneficial for the placement of bras during washing, and serves as a guide when installing bras to prevent them from falling off along the direction of gravity.

[0055] The side wall of the treatment rack body 11 has a fluid passage structure that allows washing water to flow through, so that the treatment rack body 11 can cooperate with the spray structure to achieve spray washing of clothes.

[0056] In this embodiment, the fluid passage structure on the processing frame body 11 can be a grid structure or a porous structure, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown. For example, the fluid passes through a grid structure, which includes vertically arranged grid bars, allowing washing water to pass through the gaps between the grid bars and spray onto the clothes. Preferably, as... Figure 11 As shown, the cross-section B of the grid bar is constructed with a spindle-shaped surface, making the width of the cross-section of the grid bar on the end face facing the direction of the spray washing water smaller than the width of the cross-section on the side facing away from the spray washing water. That is, a flow-expanding structure is formed on the end face facing the direction of the spray washing water. This structure not only serves to guide the flow but also reduces the width of the grid bar, reduces the amount of material used in the grid, and lowers the production cost. During spraying, the spray water diffuses along the side wall A of the grid bar before being sprayed onto the clothes being washed, enhancing the washing effect. Furthermore, during the drying process, this fluid, through the structure, can also be used by the drying air to dry the clothes on the clothes rack, ensuring a good drying effect.

[0057] Alternatively, the fluid passes through multiple through holes formed on the main body 11 of the treatment rack, with the through holes evenly distributed to increase the flow area of ​​the washing water, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown.

[0058] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the clothes handling rack 10 also includes a tray 12, which is disposed at the bottom of the rack body 11 and is arranged in a circular structure along the outer periphery of the bottom of the rack body 11. The tray 12 is provided with water-repelling ribs 13, with multiple ribs 13 arranged circumferentially along the tray 12. During the washing process, the drive unit drives the clothes handling rack 10 to rotate. The water-repelling ribs 13, evenly distributed around the circumference of the clothes handling rack 10, rotate in the direction of the water flow, increasing the contact area between the water flow and the clothes handling rack 10, causing the water flow to generate greater agitation. This agitation acts on the clothes, increasing the mechanical force of the water flow on the clothes, thereby improving the washing ratio.

[0059] Preferably, the water-repelling rib 13 forms an angle with the diameter direction of the support plate 12, that is, the water-repelling rib 13 extends along the direction forming an angle with the radial direction of the support plate 12, and multiple water-repelling ribs 13 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the support plate 12. The water-repelling rib 13 is preferably constructed as a trapezoidal plate structure, perpendicular to the support plate 12, with its portion near the main body 11 of the garment processing rack forming a bevel. The angle can be set between 0° and 90°, meaning it is not aligned with its radial direction, so that the end of the water-repelling rib furthest from the center of the garment processing rack faces the direction of rotation of the garment processing rack, enhancing the water-repelling effect.

[0060] A baffle structure 14 is provided on the outer circumference of the tray 12. The baffle structure 14 is integral with the tray 12 and is perpendicular to the tray 12, with its height exceeding that of the water-repellent rib 13. This structure effectively increases the capacity for holding clothes, and the contact friction between the clothes and the circumference reduces the occurrence of clothes tangling. Preferably, one end of the water-repellent rib 13 is connected to the baffle structure 14, and the other end has a gap with the main body of the processing rack 11 to facilitate the flow of washing water.

[0061] The tray 12 is provided with a first water passage hole 15, which is located between two adjacent water-repelling ribs 13; and / or, the enclosure structure 14 is provided with a second water passage hole 16, with multiple second water passage holes 16 arranged along the circumference of the enclosure structure 14. In this embodiment, water passage holes are provided on both the tray 12 and the enclosure structure 14, that is, the tray 12 is provided with a first water passage hole 15, which is an elongated through hole extending radially along the tray 12; the enclosure structure 14 is provided with a second water passage hole 16, which is a rectangular hole formed along the vertical direction. The first water passage hole 15 and the second water passage hole 16 are both evenly distributed along the circumference, and at least one first water passage hole 15 is provided between any two adjacent water-repelling ribs 13. The arrangement of the water passage holes allows water to flow through when the clothes handling rack 10 rotates, forming a flow structure to accelerate water circulation, effectively reducing clothes handling time and improving clothes handling efficiency.

[0062] Preferably, the pallet 12 is further provided with reinforcing ribs 17, which are arranged radially along the pallet 12 and connected to the pallet 12, the enclosure structure 14, and the processing frame body 11. The height of the reinforcing ribs 17 is lower than the height of the water-repelling ribs 13. In this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 17 is provided between two adjacent water-repelling ribs 13, and a first water passage hole 15 is provided between each reinforcing rib 17 and the water-repelling rib 13 to make the overall structure more uniform.

[0063] More preferably, the water-repellent rib 13, reinforcing rib 17, support plate 12, enclosure structure 14 and processing rack body 11 are integrally formed, that is, the clothing processing rack 10 is an integrally formed structure, which optimizes the structure of the clothing processing rack 10, reduces a series of intermediate processes, improves production efficiency, reduces production costs, has good process performance, and further optimizes the overall structure of the clothing processing rack 10.

[0064] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 6, a partition plate 113 is provided between the enclosure structure 14 and the processing rack body 11. Multiple partition plates 113 are distributed along the circumference of the processing rack body 11. The partition plates 113 divide the space between the enclosure structure 14 and the processing rack body 11 into multiple washing compartments, which can meet the needs of washing multiple clothes at the same time.

[0065] In some alternative embodiments, the garment handling rack in this example further includes a contoured support (not shown in the figure), detachably mounted on the side wall of the rack body 11. A garment support structure 111 is formed on the outer wall of the contoured support. The rack body 11 has a first working state with the contoured support installed and a second working state with the contoured support removed. Preferably, the garment support structure 111 on the contoured support is a hemispherical protrusion formed outward on the contoured support. Further, each contoured support may have two garment support portions arranged side-by-side to adapt to the shape of the bra and support it. Further, multiple contoured supports may be provided, and the garment support structures 111 on the multiple contoured supports may be of different sizes to accommodate bras of different sizes.

[0066] It should be noted that, without the contour-following support component, the garment support structure 111 can be integrally formed with the main body of the processing rack; that is, the garment support structure 111 can be directly formed by deforming the grid strips, such as... Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown in the diagram. This design makes the garment support structure 111 non-removable from the main body of the garment rack.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first working state of the processing rack body 11 is used for washing bras, and the second working state is used for washing ordinary clothes, such as shirts, socks, etc.

[0068] In other embodiments, the conformal support structure has replaceable components that can adapt to various shapes of the clothes being washed, such as bras, underwear, or other garments. In this case, two working states can be achieved by setting replaceable components. Specifically, the replaceable components include multiple replaceable parts that are replaceably mounted on the processing rack body 11, selectable according to the type of clothes being washed. These multiple replaceable parts include a bra conformal support and ordinary replaceable parts. Both the bra conformal support and the ordinary replaceable parts are detachably mounted on the processing rack body 11 and form part of the side wall of the processing rack body 11. The outer wall surface of the bra conformal support forms the aforementioned garment support structure 111, while the outer wall surface of the ordinary replaceable parts has other shapes.

[0069] The ordinary replacement part is an arc-shaped plate that is adapted to the shape of the outer wall of the main body 11 of the treatment rack. It is installed on the main body 11 of the treatment rack and forms a complete cylindrical surface with the outer wall of the main body 11 of the treatment rack. The ordinary replacement part does not have a clothing support structure 111, which can increase the washing space and allow for the washing of ordinary clothes, such as shirts and socks.

[0070] Replacement parts can be detachably installed onto the processing rack body 11 via snap-fit ​​slots, snap-fits, or other structures, or they can be installed via connectors that are easy to install and remove.

[0071] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, the fluid passage structure on the processing rack body 11 and the fluid passage structure on the replacement part can be the same. Although the fluid passage structure on the processing rack body 11 and the fluid passage structure on the replacement part are the same in this embodiment, in other embodiments, different types of fluid passage structures can be used, and the fluid passage structure is not limited to a grid or a porous structure, as long as it can allow washing water to flow.

[0072] Preferably, at least one conformal support can be provided in each washing area to meet the needs of washing multiple bras at the same time. At the same time, the garment support structure 111 can protect the shape of the bra and reduce the deformation of the bra during the washing process.

[0073] In this embodiment, the garment support structure 111 is positioned approximately in the middle of the longitudinal direction of the contoured support member to support the bra. During washing, the bra is mounted around the processing rack body 11, with the cup portion placed on the garment support structure 111 to be supported and lifted, ensuring the bra does not slip down. The shoulder straps on both sides of the bra are wrapped around the processing rack body 11 and secured to the processing rack body 11 by buckles on the shoulder straps. Preferably, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, a clothing fixing structure 112 is also provided on the side wall of the main body 11 of the clothing rack. The clothing fixing structure 112 includes a snap-fit ​​structure provided on the side wall of the clothing rack 10. Preferably, a snap-fit ​​strip is provided along the length direction of the side wall of the main body 11 of the clothing rack. The snap-fit ​​strip forms a gap with the side wall of the main body 11 of the clothing rack. The shoulder strap is wrapped around the main body 11 of the clothing rack and inserted into the gap for snap-fit, which further facilitates fixing and improves the reliability of bra fixing.

[0074] Furthermore, a mounting base is formed inside the main body of the processing rack. The top of the mounting base is integrally formed with the top edge of the main body of the processing rack, or is detachably connected or fixed together. The bottom wall of the mounting base is provided with a mounting structure for connection to the drive mechanism. Optionally, a mounting barrel 18 is formed inside the main body of the processing rack 11. The opening of the mounting barrel 18 is integrally formed with the top edge of the clothing processing rack 10. The bottom 181 of the mounting barrel is provided with a mounting structure for connection to the drive mechanism. The side wall of the mounting barrel is coaxially arranged with the main body of the processing rack, and the diameter of the side wall of the processing rack gradually increases from top to bottom along the axial direction of the processing rack. That is, when the main body of the processing rack 11 is a frustum-shaped cylinder, the side wall taper is achieved at an inclination angle between 5° and 10°. After the mounting tub 18 and the treatment frame body 11 are integrally formed, a gap is formed between the side wall of the mounting tub 18 and the side wall of the treatment frame body 11. This gap gradually increases from the top to the bottom of the treatment frame body 11, and this gap can be used for the installation of a spray structure to facilitate water spraying from the inside of the treatment frame body 11 to the outside. Preferably, the internal cavity of the mounting tub 18 can be used for the installation of other washing tubs, as described in detail below.

[0075] The present invention also provides a washing machine, such as Figures 7-12 As shown, it includes:

[0076] The outer tub 20 has an internal washing chamber for holding washing water and clothes;

[0077] The aforementioned clothing rack 10 is rotatably mounted inside the outer tub 20;

[0078] The drive mechanism is located on the lower side of the outer tub 20. The drive mechanism can pass through the bottom wall of the outer tub 20 and connect to the clothing processing rack 10 to drive the clothing processing rack 10 to rotate.

[0079] Preferably, the mounting base is a mounting tub 18, the opening of which is integrally formed with the top edge of the treatment rack body 11; the bottom 181 of the mounting tub is provided with a mounting structure. The side wall of the mounting tub is coaxially arranged with the treatment rack body, wherein its diameter gradually increases from the top to the bottom of the treatment rack body. That is, when the treatment rack body 11 is a frustum-shaped cylinder, the side wall taper is achieved at an inclination angle between 5° and 10°. Water holes can be provided on the mounting tub 18 to allow water to circulate in the internal washing area.

[0080] Specifically: An installation tub 18 is formed inside the main body 11 of the washing machine. A drive mechanism is connected to the installation tub 18. The washing machine also includes a clothes washing component, which can be a drain basket 30 or a pulsator, etc. The drain basket 30 is rotatably disposed inside the installation tub 18 and connected to the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism can drive the clothes handling rack 10 and the drain basket 30 to rotate simultaneously, or the drive mechanism can drive either the clothes handling rack 10 or the drain basket 30 to rotate individually.

[0081] It should be noted that the drain basket 30 can be detachably installed inside the mounting tub 18 and detachably connected to the drive mechanism. Besides the drain basket 30 as one type of structure for washing clothes, it can also be replaced by other washing and draining replacement structures such as a pulsator (not shown in the figure).

[0082] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a DD motor 40 and a clutch 41. The output is through the hollow shaft of the clutch 41 and fixed by a flange connected by screws, thereby driving the clothes rack 10, which is screwed to the flange fixing plate 42. The clothes rack 10 with water-repellent ribs 13 performs clothes processing operations in the clothes processing space formed by the outer tub 20 assembly and the drain basket 30.

[0083] Preferably, in other embodiments, the drive mechanism may further include two drive motors, which are used to drive the clothes handling rack 10 and the drain basket 30 to rotate, respectively.

[0084] like Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, a partition tub 21 is provided inside the outer tub 20 and connected to the bottom wall of the outer tub 20. The annular space between the partition tub 21 and the outer tub 20 constitutes the external washing area. The drain basket 30 is disposed inside the partition tub 21, forming the internal washing area. The space separated by the partition tub 21 from the external washing area is not connected, allowing the washing water to circulate. The interior and exterior of the partition tub 21 are respectively provided with independent inlet and outlet channels, allowing the two washing areas to be washed independently and avoiding cross-contamination caused by the mixing of washing water. For example, the external washing area can be used for washing one type of clothing, such as bras, while the internal washing area can be used for washing another type of clothing, such as underwear.

[0085] like Figure 12 As shown, preferably, the washing machine also includes a spray device, which is mounted on the outer tub and the spray nozzles 51 are located on one or both sides of the side wall of the processing rack body. Specifically, the spray nozzles 51 are positioned within the gap between the partition tub 21 and the processing rack body 11, and / or between the processing rack body 11 and the outer tub 20, for spraying the clothes on the clothes processing rack, enabling single-sided or double-sided spray washing. Spray water is delivered to the spray nozzles 51 of the spray device through the spray inlet 52 and then sprayed onto the clothes for rinsing. This spray device can be connected to an independent water source or circulate water from the outer tub 20 to spray the clothes.

[0086] The lingerie washing machines commonly found in our daily lives have only one washing unit. Therefore, users are no longer satisfied with the traditional "one-tub wash" washing method. In this embodiment, the clothing handling rack is installed inside the washing machine, which can achieve a healthier washing requirement - "one machine, multiple washes", that is, one washing machine can effectively distinguish the washing modes of clothing such as underwear, socks and socks.

[0087] Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure have been specifically shown and described above. It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the detailed structures, arrangements, or implementations described herein; rather, this disclosure is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements contained within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
