[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] The terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings, and "multiple" generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.

[0048] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0049] It should also be noted that the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a product or system including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such a product or system. In the absence of more restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the product or system including the elements.

[0050] At present, the drying air circulation speed in ordinary washing machines is slow and the drying efficiency is low. To improve the drying efficiency, the air circulation can only be promoted by adding additional parts, which will make the structure complicated and increase the cost. The present invention improves the wave blade structure in the washing machine and designs the wave blade into a fan form. When drying, the motor drives the wave blade to rotate, so that the wave blade becomes a "fan blade" with a suction effect, which promotes the air circulation in the washing machine and effectively improves the drying efficiency, especially for the washing area that cannot be effectively dried.

[0051] To further illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the following specific embodiments are provided.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a washer-dryer is provided, the washer-dryer comprising:

[0054] A washing tub assembly having a washing area formed therein;

[0055] The wave blade 4 is rotatably arranged at the inner bottom of the washing tub assembly and is located in the washing area. The wave blade is formed with air holes 8 that penetrate the front and back of the wave blade body. The back of the wave blade 4 is formed with a wind blade rib structure 44;

[0056] A drying component, the air outlet of the drying component is connected to the outer wall of the washing tub component and communicated with the washing area;

[0057] An exhaust passage, the air inlet of which is connected to the bottom wall of the washing tub assembly and is connected to the washing area through the air vent 8;

[0058] When the washer-dryer is drying, the fan blade rib structure 44 can disturb the drying air in the drying air flow path formed by the washing tub assembly and the drying assembly to accelerate the drying air to be sucked into the air inlet.

[0059] The washing and drying machine in this embodiment adopts the following method: during the drying process, after the wave blades 4 are driven to rotate, the wind blade rib structure 44 on the back of the wave blades can achieve the fan blade effect, thereby realizing air suction.

[0060] The washing and drying machine utilizes the structure of the wave blade 4 to drive the wave blade 4 to rotate during drying, so that the wave blade 4 becomes a "wind blade" with an air suction function, thereby promoting the circulation of drying air and improving the drying efficiency; no additional parts are required, thereby reducing the cost of the entire machine and the structural space; a plurality of air holes 8 are added to the wave blade 4, thereby effectively promoting the circulation of air and improving the drying efficiency.

[0061] It should be noted that after the wave blades 4 and the inner barrel 3 are installed, a reserved gap may also exist at the bottom of the inner barrel 3, and the reserved gap may also be connected to the air inlet of the exhaust channel to achieve a certain amount of return air transportation.

[0062] In some optional modes, the washing tub assembly includes: an outer tub 20; a partition tub 21, the partition tub 21 is arranged on the inner bottom of the outer tub 20, wherein the annular area between the outer tub 20 and the partition tub 21 forms a first washing zone 1, and the interior of the partition tub 21 forms a second washing zone 2; an inner tub 3, the inner tub 3 is rotatably arranged on the inner bottom of the outer tub 20 and located in the partition tub 21; wherein the wave vane 4 is located in the inner tub 3 and rotates synchronously with the inner tub 3. The air outlet of the drying assembly is connected to the first washing zone 1; the air inlet of the exhaust channel is connected to the second washing zone 2; wherein the height of the partition tub 21 is lower than the height of the outer tub 20 and the height of the inner tub 3 is lower than the height of the outer tub 20, so that the first washing zone 1 is connected to the second washing zone 2 at the upper part of the washing tub assembly.

[0063] Since the wave blade 4 has the functions of stirring the washing water and sucking air, the structure is similar to the fan blade in the fan. During the washing process, the motor drives the wave blade 4 to rotate synchronously, thereby stirring the washing water; during the drying process, it plays the function of a fan blade and has the effect of sucking air, thereby promoting the air circulation in the barrel, so that the hot air blown out by the drying fan 5 enters the second washing area 2. The multiple air holes 8 on the wave blade 4 effectively promote the flow of air and improve the drying efficiency.

[0064] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the drying assembly includes a drying fan 5 and a driving device. The drying fan 5 and the air inlet 9 connected to the air outlet of the drying assembly are located on the outer barrel 20 and are sealed and connected to the outer barrel 20. Preferably, the air inlet 9 is arranged on the upper part of the side wall of the outer barrel 20. The driving device is used to drive the wave blade 4 to rotate so as to suck air during drying or to remove water during washing. The inner barrel 3 is arranged in the second washing area 2, is coaxial with the motor of the driving device and is connected by fasteners, and is used to hold clothes. The wave blade 4 is located in the second washing area 2, and is coaxially connected to the motor at the bottom of the washing machine through the motor fixing hole 19 on the wave blade 4. There are a number of evenly distributed air holes 8 on the wave blade 4. The function of the air hole 8 is to pass water during washing to avoid water accumulation; to provide air circulation during drying to avoid excessive wind resistance and reduce drying efficiency.

[0065] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the exhaust channel 6 is extended along the bottom wall of the outer barrel 20 to the side wall of the outer barrel 20, and the inlet 61 of the exhaust channel is connected to the air vent 8 as an air inlet, and the outlet of the exhaust channel is connected to the outside. Correspondingly, an exhaust hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the bottom wall of the inner barrel 3, and the exhaust hole is used to connect the air vent 8 with the inlet 61 of the exhaust channel. Preferably: there are multiple exhaust holes and they are distributed in a circle on the bottom wall of the inner barrel 3, which can ensure that the inner barrel 3 can be more connected with the inlet 61 of the exhaust channel during the rotation process.

[0066] In another alternative, the exhaust duct 6 is located at the bottom of the second washing zone 2 and extends to the side wall of the outer barrel 20, and its inlet is connected with the exhaust hole on the inner barrel 3 and the air hole 8 on the wave blade in sequence; its outlet can be directly connected to the inlet of the drying fan, and the humid hot air is recycled during drying. It should be noted that the drying component also includes a dehumidification device to dry the recycled humid hot air.

[0067] It should be noted that, whether the drying air is recycled or directly discharged, in this embodiment, the outlet height of the exhaust duct is preferably not lower than the maximum height of the washing water level in the inner tub 3. This height can ensure that during washing, the washing water will not overflow due to the connection between the exhaust duct and the inner tub 3. Preferably: the outlet height of the exhaust duct exceeds the maximum height of the washing water level in the inner tub 3 by 10 cm-40 cm.

[0068] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the washing and drying machine also includes a top cover 7. The top cover 7 is arranged on the top of the outer barrel 20, which plays a role in protecting water splashes and foam from splashing out during the washing process, and plays a sealing role during the drying process, ensuring that the air in the barrel can only be discharged through the exhaust channel 6 when it circulates.

[0069] In this embodiment, the washer-dryer is improved and designed, and the shape of the wave blade 4 is cleverly used to turn the wave blade 4 into a "wind blade" with a suction function during drying, and a plurality of air holes 8 are designed on the wave blade 4. The entire structure effectively promotes the circulation of drying air in the barrel, improves the drying efficiency, does not require additional parts, and reduces the weight and structural space of the whole machine.

[0070] In this embodiment, if Figure 4(a)-4(b) As shown, a plurality of wave blade water-repelling ribs 43 are formed on the front side of the wave blade 4 , wherein the air holes 8 are evenly arranged between two adjacent wave blade water-repelling ribs 43 .

[0071] The washer-dryer in this embodiment will be further described below in conjunction with the washing and drying processes of the washer-dryer.

[0072] When a certain amount of washing water (a mixture of water and laundry detergent) is added to the second washing area 2, the motor starts and drives the wave blades 4 to rotate. At this time, the wave blades 4 play the role of stirring the water flow, stirring the washing water, making the clothes tumble and rotate in the water, so as to achieve the effect of separating the clothes from the stains.

[0073] When the clothes in the second washing area 2 are to be dried after washing, the drying fan 5 is started, the outside air is sucked into the fan and heated to a certain temperature, and then enters the washing tub through the air inlet 9. At the same time, the motor is energized to drive the wave blade 4 to rotate at a certain angular velocity. At this time, the wave blade 4 becomes a "wind blade" with a suction function, which promotes the air circulation in the second washing area 2, and the hot air from the air inlet 9 is sucked into the washing area 2, and enters the bottom of the second washing area 2 through the air holes 8 on the wave blade 4, and then discharged from the exhaust channel 6, so that the drying air circulation is realized and the drying effect is achieved.

[0074] It should be noted that, for the air supply method for drying in the first washing area, a return air port can be directly opened on the side wall of the outer tub 20 and connected to the return air inlet of the drying device. This method enables the washing and drying machine to form a special drying air flow path with one air supply and two air outlets in the two washing areas.

[0075] Example 2

[0076] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a clothes processing rack 10 comprises:

[0077] The processing frame body 11 is a cylindrical structure, for example, a cylindrical structure or a truncated cone cylindrical structure;

[0078] A support plate 12, which is disposed at the bottom of the processing rack body 11, and the support plate 12 is arranged as a circular ring structure along the outer circumference of the bottom of the processing rack body 11;

[0079] The enclosure structure 14 is arranged on the outer circle of the support plate 12, and a partition plate 113 is arranged between the enclosure structure 14 and the processing frame body, and the partition plate 113 divides the space between the enclosure structure 14 and the processing frame body 11 into a plurality of washing compartments.

[0080] Preferably, the partition plate 113 is detachably arranged between the enclosure structure 14 and the main body of the processing rack. It should be noted that after the partition plate 113 is removed, the clothes processing rack can be used as an integral washing area, such as Figure 8 , Fig. 9 shown.

[0081] like Figure 6 As shown, the processing rack body 11 is a truncated cone-shaped cylinder, and the optimal taper of the side wall is between 5° and 10°. This design is conducive to the placement of bras when washing, that is, it plays a guiding role when installing bras.

[0082] The side wall of the processing rack body 11 is formed with a fluid passing structure for washing water to flow through, and / or the replacement component is formed with a fluid passing structure for washing water to flow through, so that the processing rack body 11 can cooperate with the spray structure to realize spray washing of clothes.

[0083] In this embodiment, the fluid passing structure on the processing frame body 11 can be a grid structure or a porous structure, such as Figure 6 , Fig. 9 For example, the fluid passing structure is a grid structure, the grid structure includes vertically arranged grid bars, and the washing water can pass through the gaps between the grid bars and spray onto the clothes. Fig.16 As shown, the cross section B of the grille bar is constructed as a shuttle or diamond surface, so that the width of the end face of the cross section of the grille bar in the spraying direction of the spray washing water is smaller than the cross section width in the opposite direction of the spray washing water. The shape of this structure can not only play the role of drainage and diffusion, but also reduce the width of the grille bar, reduce the material of the grille, and reduce the production cost of the grille. When spraying, the spray water diffuses along the side wall surface A of the grille bar and then sprays to the laundry, thereby enhancing the washing effect. In addition, during the drying process, the fluid passing structure can also achieve the drying of the clothes on the clothes processing rack through the drying wind, thereby ensuring the drying effect.

[0084] Alternatively, the fluid passing structure is a plurality of through holes formed on the treatment rack body 11, and the through holes are evenly distributed to increase the flow area of ​​the washing water, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 shown.

[0085] like Figure 6-Figure 9As shown, the clothes processing rack 10 further includes a support plate 12, which is arranged at the bottom of the processing rack body 11 and is arranged as a circular ring structure along the outer circumference of the bottom of the processing rack body 11. The support plate 12 is provided with water-repelling ribs 13, and a plurality of water-repelling ribs 13 are arranged along the circumference of the support plate 12. In the process of washing clothes, the driving unit drives the clothes processing rack 10 to rotate, and the water-repelling ribs 13, which are equally arranged on the circumference of the clothes processing rack 10, rotate against the water flow, increase the contact area between the water flow and the clothes processing rack 10, and make the water flow produce greater agitation. The agitation of the water flow acts on the clothes, which increases the mechanical force of the water flow on the clothes washing, thereby improving the washing ratio.

[0086] 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 in a direction forming an angle with the radial direction of the support plate 12, and a plurality of 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, which is arranged perpendicular to the support plate 12, and its portion close to the processing rack body 11 forms a bevel. The angle range can be set between 0°-90°, that is, it is not consistent with its radial direction, so that the end of the water-repelling rib farthest from the center of the processing rack faces one side of the rotation direction of the clothes processing rack, thereby enhancing the water-repelling effect.

[0087] The outer circle of the support plate 12 is provided with a retaining structure 14, which forms an integral structure with the support plate 12. The retaining structure 14 is vertically arranged with the support plate 12 and its height is higher than the height of the water-repelling rib 13. This structure can effectively increase the volume of clothes, and the contact friction between the clothes and the circumference can also reduce the occurrence of clothes entanglement. Preferably, one end of the water-repelling rib 13 is connected to the retaining structure 14, and the other end has a gap with the processing rack body 11 to facilitate the circulation of washing water.

[0088] The support plate 12 is provided with a first water hole 15, which is located between two adjacent water repelling ribs 13; and / or, the enclosure structure 14 is provided with a second water hole 16, and a plurality of the second water holes 16 are provided along the circumference of the enclosure structure 14. In this embodiment, the support plate 12 and the enclosure structure 14 are provided with water holes at the same time, that is, the support plate 12 is provided with a first water hole 15, which is a long strip-shaped through hole extending along the radial direction of the support plate 12; the enclosure structure 14 is provided with a second water hole 16, which is a rectangular hole formed along the vertical direction. The first water hole 15 and the second water hole 16 are evenly distributed along the circumference, and at least one first water hole 15 is provided between any two adjacent water repelling ribs 13. The provision of the water hole allows the water flow to flow through the water hole when the clothes processing rack 10 rotates, forming a circulation structure to accelerate the water flow circulation, effectively reducing the clothes processing time and improving the clothes processing efficiency.

[0089] Preferably, the support plate 12 is further provided with a reinforcing rib 17, which is arranged along the radial direction of the support plate 12 and is simultaneously connected to the support plate 12, the enclosure structure 14 and the processing rack body 11, and the height of the reinforcing rib 17 is lower than the height of the water-diverting rib 13. In this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 17 is arranged between two adjacent water-diverting ribs 13, and a first water-passing hole 15 is arranged between each reinforcing rib 17 and the water-diverting rib 13, so that the overall structure is uniform.

[0090] Further preferably, the water-repelling ribs 13, the reinforcing ribs 17, the support plate 12, the enclosure structure 14 and the processing rack body 11 are formed integrally, that is, the clothing processing rack 10 is an integrated molding 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.

[0091] Preferably, if Figure 6 , 7 As shown in Figure 11, a partition plate 113 is provided between the enclosure structure 14 and the processing rack body 11. A plurality of 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 a plurality of washing compartments, which can meet the needs of washing multiple clothes at the same time.

[0092] In some optional ways, in the present embodiment, the clothes processing rack further comprises: a contoured support member (not shown in the figure), which is detachably arranged on the side wall of the processing rack body 11, and a clothes supporting structure 111 is formed on the outer wall surface of the contoured support member, and the processing rack body 11 has a first working state of installing the contoured support member, and a second working state of removing the contoured support member. Preferably, the clothes supporting structure 111 on the contoured support member is a hemispherical bra-like protrusion structure formed on the contoured support member and protruding outward, and further, two clothes supporting parts can be arranged side by side on each contoured support member to support the bra to adapt to the shape of the bra. Further, a plurality of contoured support members can be arranged, and the sizes of the clothes supporting structures 111 on the plurality of contoured support members are different to adapt to bras of different sizes.

[0093] It should be noted that when the contoured support member is not provided, the clothing support structure 111 can be formed integrally with the processing rack body, that is, the clothing support structure 111 can be formed directly by deforming the grid bars, such as Fig.10 , Fig.11 This method makes the clothes supporting structure 111 designed to be inseparable from the processing rack body.

[0094] 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.

[0095] In other embodiments, two working states can also be achieved by setting up a replacement component. Specifically, the replacement component includes a plurality of replacement parts that can be replaceably installed on the processing rack body 11, and can be selected according to the type of laundry. The plurality of replacement parts include contoured supporting parts and ordinary replacement parts. The contoured supporting parts or ordinary replacement parts can be detachably installed on the processing rack body 11 and both constitute a part of the side wall of the processing rack body 11, wherein a clothing supporting structure 111 is formed on the outer wall surface of the contoured supporting part, and the outer wall surface of the ordinary replacement part is constructed as a curved surface.

[0096] The ordinary replacement part is an arc-shaped plate adapted to the outer wall shape of the processing rack body 11. It is installed on the processing rack body 11 to form a complete cylindrical surface with the outer wall surface of the processing rack body 11. The ordinary replacement part does not have a clothing supporting structure 111, so as to increase the washing space and be used for washing ordinary clothes, such as shirts, socks, etc.

[0097] The replacement part can be detachably installed on the processing frame body 11 through structures such as a snap-in groove and a snap buckle, or can also be installed through a connector that is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0098] It is easy to understand that the fluid passing structure on the processing rack body 11 and the fluid passing structure on the replacement part in this embodiment can be the same.
