For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to solve the problem that the existing sock washing equipment cannot achieve a good dehydration effect on the washed socks, the sock washing machine of the present invention comprises a first shell 10 and a second shell 20, wherein a pulsator 30 and a squeezing device 40 are arranged inside the first shell 10, and a cover 50 is arranged on the top; the pulsator 30 is arranged at the bottom end of the first shell 10, and the squeezing device 40 is arranged above the pulsator 30; a first connecting rod 31 is fixedly arranged at the center of the bottom end of the pulsator 30, and a second connecting rod 41 is arranged at the bottom of the squeezing device 40;

[0035] The second housing 20 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the first housing 10, and a first driving device 32 and a second driving device 42 are disposed inside the second housing 20;

[0036] The bottom end of the first connecting rod 31 passes through the first housing 10 and enters the second housing 20 and is connected to the first driving device 32. The bottom end of the second connecting rod 41 passes through the pulsator 30, the first connecting rod 31 and the first housing 10 and enters the second housing 20 and is connected to the second driving device 42.

[0037] The first driving device 32 drives the pulsator 30 to rotate and wash the clothes, and the second driving device 42 drives the squeezing device 40 to move up and down to separate the clothes from the washing water and squeeze them with the cover body 50 to drain the water in the clothes.

[0038] In this embodiment, sealing structures are provided at the connection points between the second connecting rod 41 and the impeller 30, and between the first connecting rod 31 and the first shell 10, respectively, to prevent water in the first shell 10 from seeping into the second shell 20 and causing malfunction of the first drive device 32 and the second drive device 42.

[0039] The advantages of the above arrangement are: the sock washing machine in this embodiment can achieve a good dehydration effect by driving the squeezing device 40 to move up and down to separate the clothes from the washing water and squeeze the cover 50 to drain the water in the clothes, without the need to set up an additional spin-drying bucket; and the bottom end of the second connecting rod 41 passes through the pulsator 30, the first connecting rod 31 and the first shell 10 to enter the second shell 20. This saves the internal space of the first shell 10, and the structure is simple and easy to repair.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the bottom size and shape of the extrusion device 40 matches the size and shape of the bottom end of the impeller 30 .

[0041] Specifically in this embodiment, after the bottom of the extrusion device 40 is installed at the bottom end of the inner part of the impeller 30 , the bottom of the extrusion device 40 is closely attached to the bottom end of the inner part of the impeller 30 .

[0042] The advantages of the above arrangement are that the squeezing device 40 is closely attached to the pulsator 30, which can save and fully utilize the space inside the pulsator 30. It can avoid the unusable space between the pulsator 30 and the squeezing device 40 that affects the capacity and the washing effect of socks, etc. due to the loose fit between the squeezing device 40 and the pulsator 30, and can avoid socks falling between the pulsator 30 and the squeezing device 40 during washing to affect the normal operation of the sock washing machine.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in another possible implementation manner, a protruding shell 51 is fixedly provided at the center of the bottom end of the cover body 50 , and the shape and size of the protruding shell 51 match the shape and size of the top of the extrusion device 40 .

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in another possible embodiment, a baffle 43 is fixedly provided on the side of the extrusion device 40 .

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in another possible implementation, both the extrusion device 40 and the baffle 43 are provided with through water holes (not shown in the figure).

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in another possible implementation, a heating device 52 is fixedly provided inside the protruding shell 51 .

[0047] The advantage of the above arrangement is that the protruding shell 51 shortens the squeezing distance of the squeezing device 40, and the squeezing device 40 directly extrude with the protruding shell 51, which improves the impact force of the squeezing device 40 on the socks to a certain extent, and can achieve a better dehydration effect.

[0048] In this embodiment, a baffle plate 43 is provided on the side of the extrusion device 40 to prevent socks and the like from falling down when the extrusion device 40 and the protruding shell 51 are extruded. Water holes are provided on the extrusion device 40 and the baffle plate 43 to allow water discharged during the extrusion process to flow out through the water holes.

[0049] In this embodiment, a heating device 52 is further provided in the protruding shell 51, so that the protruding shell 51 has a certain temperature, realizing the function of an iron, which can accelerate the drying of socks and the like and can also smooth the socks to a certain extent.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in another possible embodiment, a first gear 311 is provided at one end of the first connecting rod 31 connected to the first driving device 32. The first driving device 32 includes a first motor 321 and a second gear 322. The second gear 322 is fixed to the first motor 321 and meshingly connected to the first gear 311.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the first gear 311 and the second gear 322 can both be helical gears, and the first gear 311 and the second gear 322 are perpendicular to each other.

[0052] The first gear and the second gear may also both be spur gears. In this case, the first gear and the second gear are horizontally arranged to achieve the same effect. Since spur gears and their connections are common structures, they are not shown in the figure.

[0053] The advantage of the above arrangement is that the pulsator 30 is driven to rotate by the first driving device 32 to wash socks and the like.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in another possible embodiment, a connecting disk 411 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the second connecting rod 41, and the second driving device 42 includes a connecting block 421 and a second motor 422. The connecting block 421 is fixedly provided on the second motor 422 and the rotating side surface contacts the bottom end of the connecting disk 411 during rotation.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in another possible implementation, the connecting block 421 is a cam or crank rocker structure.

[0056] The advantage of the above arrangement is that the squeezing device 40 is driven to rise and fall by the second driving device 42 to achieve dehydration of clothes such as socks.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, in another possible embodiment, the impeller 30 is provided with a through water hole (not shown in the figure), and / or,

[0058] A protrusion 33 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the impeller 30 .

[0059] The advantage of the above arrangement is that during the rotation of the impeller 30, the protrusion 33 can drive the water flow to enhance the washing effect on clothes such as socks.

[0060] The existing sock washing structures include structures that use lifting and squeezing to wash, and structures that use a pulsator to wash socks. The lifting and squeezing sock washing machine squeezes the socks from above or below by driving the squeezing device to move linearly, and the washing effect is average, but it can quickly dehydrate through squeezing, while the pulsator method has a better washing effect, but the pulsator spins and dehydrates slowly.

[0061] Squeeze-type sock washing and pulsator-type sock washing are two completely different washing methods. The differences in their implementation principles, application structures, and implementation methods make it difficult for those skilled in the art to combine the advantages of the two. However, in a washing device such as a sock washing machine, since portability and speed must be highlighted, in order to better achieve the effects of thorough washing and rapid dehydration, the inventor creatively combines pulsator washing and squeeze dehydration by passing the second connecting rod 41 of the squeezing device 40 through the first connecting rod 31 of the pulsator 30, so that the present invention has both the effect of clean pulsator washing and the effect of rapid dehydration of the squeezing device, thereby improving the convenience of the sock washing machine.

[0062] The present invention combines the squeezing device 40 with the pulsator 30 organically, and also makes the squeezing device 40 and the pulsator 30 not interfere with each other and share the same space, thereby reducing the volume of the sock washing machine. In the present invention, the socks are washed by the pulsator 30, and then squeezed and dehydrated by the squeezing device 40. In terms of structure, there is no need to spare space to set up a special dehydration device, and the user does not need to take out the washed socks and perform a special dehydration operation again. At the same time, in order to further improve the dehydration effect of the socks, the present invention is further provided with a heating device 52 on the basis of squeezing and dehydrating the socks by the squeezing device 40, which can make the socks achieve the effect of ironing while heating and dehydrating the socks, so that the socks are flat. Moreover, the heating device 52 in the present invention is also cleverly arranged in the cover body 50, making full use of the space of the protruding shell 51 that cooperates with the squeezing device 40. The protruding shell 51 can achieve squeezing and dehydrating the socks with the squeezing device 40 and accommodating the heating device 52 to heat the socks at the same time. Moreover, such a structural design ensures that the heating device 52 does not need to worry about the risk of accidents caused by the water vapor in the second shell 20.

[0063] In summary, the sock washing machine of the present invention drives the pulsator 30 to rotate through the first driving device 32 to wash socks and the like; during the rotation of the pulsator 30, the protrusion 33 can drive the water flow to enhance the washing effect on socks and other clothes. The present invention drives the squeezing device 40 to move up and down through the second driving device 42 to separate the clothes from the washing water and squeeze the cover 50 to drain the water in the clothes, so as to achieve a good dehydration effect, without the need to set up an additional spin-drying barrel, and has a simple structure and saves internal space.

[0064] The squeezing device 40 is closely attached to the pulsator 30, which can save and fully utilize the space inside the pulsator 30. The present invention can avoid the unusable space between the pulsator 30 and the squeezing device 40 being formed due to the squeezing device 40 not being closely attached to the pulsator 30, thereby affecting the capacity and the washing effect of socks and the like.

[0065] The protruding shell 51 shortens the extrusion distance of the extrusion device 40. The extrusion device 40 directly extrude with the protruding shell 51, which improves the impact force of the extrusion device 40 on the socks to a certain extent, and can achieve a better dehydration effect. A baffle 43 is set on the side of the extrusion device 40. When the extrusion device 40 and the protruding shell 51 are extruded, the socks can be prevented from falling below. Water holes are set in the extrusion device 40 and the baffle 43, and the water discharged during the extrusion process can flow out through the water holes. A heating device 52 is also set in the protruding shell 51, so that the protruding shell 51 has a certain temperature, realizing the ironing function, which can accelerate the drying of socks and the like while also smoothing the socks to a certain extent.

[0066] It should be noted that the above-mentioned implementation mode is only used to illustrate the principle of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above-mentioned structure so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0067] For example, in a replaceable embodiment, the second drive device 42 only needs to be able to drive the extrusion device 40 to rise and fall. For example, the current second drive device 42 including the connecting block 421 and the second motor 422 can be replaced by the second drive device 42 being an electric push rod or a cylinder, etc. These do not deviate from the principles of the present invention and therefore will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0068] So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in 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 the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
