Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment, and in particular relates to an additive delivery module and a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] "Clothing treatment device" refers to a general term for household appliances that perform washing or both washing and drying functions, such as washing machines and washer-dryers. "Additive delivery module" refers to the module used to deliver additives, such as laundry detergent and bleach, into the clothing treatment device.

[0003] Currently, most clothing processing devices are provided with an additive delivery module, which includes a liquid outlet connected to a washing tub of the clothing processing device for delivering additives into the washing tub.

[0004] Specifically, the user pre-doses the additive into the additive dosing module in advance, and uses the water inlet of the clothes processing device to flush the additive into the washing tub through the liquid outlet.

[0005] However, due to the viscosity of additives, they tend to adhere to the outlet during the dosing process. Water flowing out of the outlet typically flows in streams, covering a narrow area and failing to effectively flush the outlet. Over time, the amount of additive adhering to the outlet increases, causing not only severe contamination of the additive dosing module itself but also clogging the outlet, reducing its efficiency.

[0006] Currently, people can only manually clean the additive delivery module regularly, which is difficult, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0007] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0049] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention discloses an additive delivery module and a clothing treatment device. A clothing treatment device is a general term for household appliances that perform washing or washing and drying functions, such as washing machines and washer-dryers. The additive delivery module is used to deliver additives, such as laundry detergent and bleach, into the clothing treatment device.

[0051] In the present invention, the additive delivery module includes:

[0052] The liquid outlet cavity 10 is used to contain and discharge additives and water;

[0053] The pressurizing structure is provided on the liquid outlet cavity 10 and is used to pressurize the liquid flowing through the liquid outlet cavity 10 .

[0054] The present invention provides a pressurized structure on the liquid outlet chamber 10 so that the liquid discharged from the liquid outlet chamber 10 forms a uniform water curtain. The water curtain has a wide coverage range, a fast flow speed, and a high flow water pressure, and has a strong flushing effect on the liquid outlet chamber 10, effectively avoiding the adhesion of additives on the liquid outlet chamber 10, so that the cleanliness of the liquid outlet chamber 10 is high, and there is no need for the user to clean it, thereby ensuring the smoothness and efficiency of the liquid discharge from the liquid outlet chamber 10 and improving the user experience.

[0055] As an embodiment of the present invention, the liquid outlet cavity 10 includes:

[0056] Liquid inlet end, used to input additives and water,

[0057] Liquid outlet, used to discharge additives and water,

[0058] The pressurizing structure is at least arranged between the liquid inlet end and the liquid outlet end.

[0059] In this embodiment, by positioning a pressurizing structure between the liquid inlet and outlet ends of the liquid outlet chamber 10, the water flowing from the liquid inlet to the liquid outlet can be pressurized, so that the streams of water form a water curtain. The water curtain has a wide coverage area, a high flow rate, a high pressure, and a significant flushing effect. It can flush the inner wall of the liquid outlet chamber 10 and prevent the accumulation of residual additives on the inner wall of the liquid outlet chamber 10.

[0060] As another embodiment of the present invention, the pressurizing structure includes:

[0061] The booster pump is disposed in the liquid outlet cavity 10 and is used to boost the pressure of the additive and water in the liquid outlet cavity 10 .

[0062] Specifically, the liquid in the liquid outlet chamber 10 enters the booster pump, and then the centrifugal pump is started, the impeller rotates rapidly, and the impeller blades drive the liquid in the booster pump to rotate, and the liquid relies on inertia to flow toward the outer edge of the impeller during rotation. In this process, the liquid in the impeller flows around the blades.

[0063] During the flow motion, the liquid exerts a lift on the blades, and in turn the blades act on the liquid with a force equal to and opposite to the lift. This force does work on the liquid, causing the liquid to gain energy and flow out of the impeller. At this time, the kinetic energy and pressure energy of the liquid both increase.

[0064] The liquid flowing out of the impeller is discharged to the outside of the liquid outlet cavity 10 through the liquid outlet 104. Since the kinetic energy and pressure energy of the liquid are increased, the liquid passing through the liquid outlet 104 has a strong flushing effect, which can effectively flush the liquid outlet 104, effectively avoiding the accumulation of additives on the liquid outlet 104, and there is no need to manually clean the liquid outlet 104.

[0065] As another embodiment of the present invention, the liquid outlet cavity 10 has a cross section perpendicular to the direction from the liquid inlet end to the liquid outlet end.

[0066] The pressurizing structure comprises a grid structure at least partially covering the cross-sectional arrangement.

[0067] This arrangement enables the grid structure to effectively separate the liquid flowing through the liquid outlet cavity 10, and the formed water curtain covers a relatively large area. A water curtain with a larger area has a better flushing effect on the liquid outlet cavity 10.

[0068] As an implementation of this embodiment, the grid structure covers the cross-sectional arrangement.

[0069] In this embodiment, the grid structure covers the cross-section setting, so that the liquid flowing through the liquid outlet cavity 10 can be fully divided into several water outlet waterways by the grid structure, forming a water curtain to the greatest extent, and having a significant flushing effect on the liquid outlet cavity 10.

[0070] As another embodiment of the present invention, the pressurizing structure includes a plate-like structure having a plurality of through holes penetrating the plate-like structure, wherein the plate-like structure at least partially covers the cross-section.

[0071] In this embodiment, the liquid in the liquid outlet cavity 10 flows out through the plurality of through holes on the plate-like structure, separating the liquid into streams to form a water curtain. The water curtain has a relatively large coverage area, and the flow velocity and flow pressure are also relatively large, which has a better flushing effect on the liquid outlet cavity 10.

[0072] As another embodiment of the present invention, the liquid outlet includes:

[0073] The liquid outlet 104 communicates with the inside and outside of the liquid outlet cavity 10 , and the grid structure is disposed on the liquid outlet 104 .

[0074] In this embodiment, by setting the grid structure on the liquid outlet 104, the formed water curtain will not be restricted by the inner wall of the liquid outlet cavity 10, the coverage area formed is maximized, and the water curtain has a better flushing effect on the liquid outlet 104.

[0075] As an implementation of this embodiment, the grid structure covering the liquid outlet 104 is arranged outside the liquid outlet 104. This arrangement facilitates installation, removal and replacement of the grid structure.

[0076] As another implementation of this embodiment, the grid structure is arranged inside the liquid outlet 104. This arrangement enables the grid structure to form a water curtain for the liquid without occupying the space outside the liquid outlet cavity 10.

[0077] As an embodiment of the present invention, the grid structure includes a plurality of water retaining ribs 105 , and the plurality of water retaining ribs 105 are arranged at intervals on the inner cavity wall of the liquid outlet cavity 10 .

[0078] Specifically, the water retaining rib 105 is transversely disposed in the liquid outlet cavity 10 , dividing the liquid outlet cavity 10 into an upper liquid outlet cavity and a lower liquid outlet cavity.

[0079] Alternatively, the water retaining rib 105 is longitudinally arranged in the liquid outlet cavity 10 to divide the liquid outlet cavity 10 into a left liquid outlet cavity and a right liquid outlet cavity.

[0080] In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of water retaining ribs 105, the liquid outlet cavity 10 is divided into a plurality of water outlet channels by the water retaining ribs 105, thereby forming a water curtain. The water curtain has a wide coverage area, a fast flow speed, and a high flow pressure, so that the water curtain can effectively flush the liquid outlet cavity 10.

[0081] As an implementation method of this embodiment, the number of the water retaining ribs 105 can be set according to the size of the liquid outlet cavity 10 . The larger the liquid outlet cavity 10 is, the more water retaining ribs 105 there are.

[0082] Furthermore, the number of the water retaining ribs 105 may be 15-20.

[0083] In this embodiment, the number of water retaining ribs 105 is set according to the size of the liquid outlet cavity 10, which can ensure that the flow velocity and flow pressure of the liquid are relatively high and the flushing effect is relatively strong, while not excessively blocking the effective liquid outlet area of ​​the liquid outlet cavity 10 and reducing the liquid outlet efficiency of the liquid outlet cavity 10.

[0084] As another implementation of this embodiment, the plurality of water retaining ribs 105 are arranged at intervals.

[0085] In this embodiment, liquid can flow out from the spaces between adjacent water retaining ribs 105 , so that each water retaining rib 105 can fully function to form a water curtain, thereby improving the flushing effect of the water curtain on the liquid outlet cavity 10 .

[0086] As another implementation method of this embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the inner wall of the liquid outlet cavity 10 includes:

[0087] Liquid outlet bottom wall 1003,

[0088] The top wall 1006 of the liquid outlet cavity is arranged opposite to the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity.

[0089] The left side wall 1001 and the right side wall 1002 of the liquid outlet cavity connect the bottom wall 1003 and the top wall 1006 of the liquid outlet cavity. The plurality of water retaining ribs 105 are arranged from the left side wall 1001 of the liquid outlet cavity to the right side wall 1002 of the liquid outlet cavity.

[0090] In this embodiment, the water retaining ribs 105 are arranged from the left side wall 1001 of the liquid outlet chamber to the right side wall 1002 of the liquid outlet chamber, so that the liquid flowing from the liquid inlet end to the liquid outlet end of the liquid outlet chamber 10 can be divided into several water paths under the action of the water retaining ribs 105. The several water paths form a water curtain with a wide coverage area, and the water curtain has a strong flushing effect, so as to ensure that no additive residue is left at any position of the liquid outlet chamber 10.

[0091] As an implementation of this embodiment, a plurality of the water retaining ribs 105 are arranged parallel to each other.

[0092] In this embodiment, the water retaining ribs 105 are parallel to each other, so that the water retaining ribs 105 can increase the flow speed and pressure of the liquid while minimizing the resistance of the water retaining ribs 105 to the liquid flow, thereby improving the outflow efficiency of the liquid.

[0093] As an embodiment of the present invention, the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity is curved in an arc shape from the left side 1004 of the bottom wall to the right side 1005 of the bottom wall.

[0094] In this embodiment, the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity is curved in an arc shape, so that the water curtain formed by the liquid flowing out of the liquid outlet cavity 10 has a larger coverage area.

[0095] As an implementation of this embodiment, the distance between the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity and the top wall 1006 of the liquid outlet cavity is equal everywhere, and the intervals between adjacent water retaining ribs 105 are equal.

[0096] In this embodiment, since the intervals between the water retaining ribs 105 are equal, the flow velocity and flow pressure of the liquid flowing out from the intervals between different water retaining ribs 105 are substantially the same, and the liquid discharge is more uniform, that is, the air curtain formed is also more uniform, and the flushing effect on the liquid discharge cavity 10 is better. In addition, the uniform air curtain can evenly disperse the additive inside the clothing treatment device.

[0097] As another embodiment of this embodiment, the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity is recessed from the left and right sides to the center. That is, the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity is recessed from the left side 1004 and the right side 1005 of the bottom wall to the center of the left side 1004 and the right side 1005 of the bottom wall. The spacing between adjacent water retaining ribs 105 decreases from the left and right sides to the center.

[0098] In this embodiment, the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity is concave from the left and right sides to the center area, so that the liquid flowing out of the liquid outlet cavity 10 is an arc-shaped water curtain.

[0099] Since the central area of ​​the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity is concave, the amount of liquid passing through the central area of ​​the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity is relatively large, and the amount of water on both sides is relatively small.

[0100] By controlling the spacing between the water retaining ribs 105 to decrease from the left and right sides to the center, the areas with a larger amount of liquid in the liquid outlet cavity 10 are separated to form more water channels, while the areas with a smaller amount of liquid are separated to form fewer water channels, thereby forming a uniform water curtain. A uniform water curtain has relatively uniform water pressure and a better flushing effect.

[0101] As another embodiment of this embodiment, the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity is configured to be convex from the left and right sides to the center area. That is, the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity is configured to be convex from the left side 1004 and the right side 1005 of the bottom wall to the center area of ​​the left side 1004 and the right side 1005 of the bottom wall. The spacing between adjacent water retaining ribs 105 increases from the left and right sides to the center area.

[0102] Since the central area of ​​the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity is convex, the amount of liquid passing through the central area of ​​the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity is relatively small; in contrast, the amount of water on both sides is relatively large.

[0103] By increasing the spacing between the water retaining ribs 105 from the left and right sides to the center, the areas with a larger amount of liquid in the liquid outlet cavity 10 are separated to form more water channels, while the areas with a smaller amount of liquid are separated to form fewer water channels, thereby forming a uniform water curtain. A uniform water curtain has relatively uniform water pressure and a better flushing effect.

[0104] As another embodiment of the present invention, one end of the water retaining rib 105 is arranged toward the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity, and the other end is arranged toward the top wall 1006 of the liquid outlet cavity.

[0105] In this embodiment, by setting the two ends of the water retaining rib 105 toward the bottom wall 1003 and the top wall 1006 of the liquid outlet cavity respectively, the liquid passing through the liquid outlet cavity 10 can be separated by the water retaining rib 105, thereby increasing the flow speed and flow pressure of the liquid and improving the flushing effect.

[0106] As an implementation method of this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first end 1051 of the water retaining rib is disposed against the top wall 1006 of the liquid outlet cavity, and the second end 1052 of the water retaining rib is disposed against the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity.

[0107] In this embodiment, since the two ends of the water retaining rib 105 are respectively arranged to abut the top wall 1006 and the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity, the liquid flowing out of the liquid outlet cavity 10 can be completely separated by the water retaining rib 105, which further fully improves the flow rate of the liquid when flowing through the liquid outlet 104, so that the liquid has a better flushing effect on the liquid outlet 104, and the installation structure is relatively more stable.

[0108] As another embodiment of the present invention, the additive delivery module further includes:

[0109] The liquid storage box forms a sealed cavity for storing additives.

[0110] The water box 20 has a receiving cavity inside for receiving the liquid storage box.

[0111] The cover 30 is disposed on the water box 20 and forms the liquid outlet cavity 10 together with the bottom wall of the water box 20 .

[0112] Specifically, the water box 20 has at least one insertion slot, the opening of which is provided on the outer wall of the water box 20 to form a pull-out opening. A liquid storage box is installed in the insertion slot and can be pulled out from the pull-out opening and pushed inward. The liquid storage box constitutes a sealed cavity for storing additives.

[0113] Preferably, the liquid storage box is an ink cartridge sealed container, which directly forms a sealed cavity, so that the ink cartridge liquid storage box is an independent container for storing additives. The above-mentioned ink cartridge sealed container is a container similar to a printer cartridge.

[0114] In this embodiment, the liquid outlet cavity 10 is formed by the bottom wall of the water box 20 and the cover body 30, that is, the liquid outlet cavity 10 is arranged at the bottom of the water box 20, which is convenient for the addition of additives, and the formation and installation method of the liquid outlet cavity 10 is simple, which is convenient for production and manufacturing.

[0115] As another embodiment of the present invention, a water box 20 is integrated with a water path, including an outlet water path 12 through which water flows. A suction device 11 is also mounted on the water box 20. The inlet of the suction device 11 is connected to the liquid storage box, and the outlet of the suction device 11 is connected to the outlet water path 12. The suction device 11 is used to draw the additive stored in the liquid storage box into the outlet water path 12 for dispensing with the water flowing through the outlet water path 12.

[0116] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the removable liquid storage box is directly installed in the water box 20 body, so that the entire dispensing module is integrated and directly constitutes an integral module, so that it can be directly assembled on washing machines of different models, realizing the modular design of the additive dispensing module, reducing the design and R&D costs of the washing machine, and greatly improving the assembly speed of the washing machine.

[0117] At the same time, through the above-mentioned settings, the liquid storage box of the additive delivery module adopts an ink cartridge-type, independently sealed container design, so that it can store additives in a closed manner. Not only can it be independently pulled out and replaced, but the additives can also be stored in a sealed environment to avoid the chance of them being contaminated by contact with the outside.

[0118] The suction device 11 draws the additive stored in the liquid storage box into the water outlet channel 12. The additive is discharged from the liquid outlet chamber 10 along with the flowing water. The discharge efficiency is high, and the additive is prevented from adhering to the inner wall of the liquid outlet chamber 10. As an implementation method of this embodiment, the water outlet channel 12 at least connects two sides of the liquid outlet chamber 10.

[0119] This embodiment allows water to enter the liquid outlet cavity 10 from at least two sides, and water entering from different directions of the liquid outlet cavity 10 can flush and discharge the additives, resulting in a better flushing effect and higher delivery efficiency, avoiding residual additives at different positions in the liquid outlet cavity 10.

[0120] As an embodiment of the present invention, the water retaining rib 105 and the liquid outlet cavity 10 are integrally formed.

[0121] Specifically, the water retaining rib 105 and the liquid outlet 104 on the liquid outlet cavity 10 are integrally injection molded.

[0122] In this embodiment, the water retaining rib 105 is integrally formed with the liquid outlet cavity 10, so that the water retaining rib 105 is not easy to fall off from the liquid outlet 104, ensuring the stability of the assembly of the water retaining rib 105, and there is no need to install the water retaining rib 105 separately, thereby simplifying the process flow of installing the additive delivery module 10.

[0123] As another embodiment of the present invention, a mounting groove is provided on the bottom wall 1003 of the liquid outlet cavity, and the water retaining rib 105 is detachably connected to the mounting groove.

[0124] Specifically, the inner wall surface of the liquid outlet chamber bottom wall 1003 has a plurality of mounting grooves, which are arranged sequentially from the left side 1004 of the bottom wall to the right side 1005 of the bottom wall. The mounting grooves are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of water retaining ribs 105. The water retaining ribs 105 are provided on the corresponding mounting grooves.

[0125] In this embodiment, the water retaining rib 105 is detachably connected to the mounting slot, facilitating installation, removal, and replacement of the water retaining rib 105. In particular, if a water retaining rib 105 becomes damaged, it can be replaced individually without replacing the entire additive dispensing module. If the additive dispensing module includes multiple water retaining ribs 105, a damaged one can be replaced individually, saving costs.

[0126] The present invention also provides a clothing processing device having an additive delivery module as described in any one of the above technical solutions.

[0127] Alternatively, the clothing processing device has an additive delivery module that is a combination of the above technical solutions.

[0128] Specifically, the clothes treating device comprises a housing on which an additive dispensing module is mounted.

[0129] Furthermore, the housing includes a control panel seat arranged on the top, and the additive delivery module is installed inside the control panel seat.

[0130] In the present invention, an additive delivery module is provided on the clothing processing device to achieve automatic delivery of additives. The additive delivery module is not easily adhered to by additives, which ensures high additive delivery efficiency and eliminates the need for manual cleaning of the additive delivery module.

[0131] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make slight changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments using the above technical content without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the solution of the present invention.
