Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household clothing washing, and in particular to an inner drum structure of a sock washing machine with integrated washing and drying. Background Art

[0002] The technology of household washing machines is relatively mature, but household sock washing machines are not yet popular. Existing sock washing machines are generally miniature versions of washing machines, that is, so-called baby washing machines. They are often not clean enough to wash socks, and most of them do not have a drying function. There are also intelligent sock washing machines on the market, but they are said to only be able to wash one pair of socks, and it takes 140 minutes to dry them, which is far from meeting people's needs. Especially for young white-collar workers and office workers, rest time is precious, and the socks that are changed and washed every day are not suitable for washing machines. They have to wash them by hand, which is cumbersome and may face fungal infections. Therefore, the development of a practical intelligent sock washing machine with a lightweight size for household use has become an urgent market demand. The intelligent washing machine integrates washing, water drying and drying. A washing and drying cycle takes about 20 minutes, and drying or taking out to dry can be switched. The characteristics of the sock washing machine are light, the length x width x height is limited to 300X300X400, the power is about 1KW, and the weight is less than 10KG. It can realize the integrated operation of washing, deodorizing and drying socks, and it takes a short time, which meets people's psychological needs. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide an inner drum structure of a sock washing machine integrating washing and drying.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0005] The invention discloses an inner drum structure of an integrated washing and drying sock washing machine, comprising an inner drum, a driving wheel, a driven wheel and a guide plate. The inner drum is a hollow cylinder with open sides and a central axis arranged horizontally. The inner drum can rotate clockwise / counterclockwise around the axis. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are both arranged horizontally in the inner drum. The driving wheel is driven by a motor to rotate around a rotating shaft, and guide plates are vertically arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft of the driving wheel. A guide boss is arranged on the surface of the guide plate facing the driving wheel. The rotating shaft of the driving wheel is higher than the rotating shaft of the driven wheel. The outer surfaces of the driving wheel and the driven wheel are both provided with strip-shaped convex teeth evenly distributed on the circumference and parallel to the axis. The number of convex teeth on the driving wheel is greater than the number of convex teeth on the driven wheel. The convex teeth on the driving wheel and the driven wheel do not touch each other when the wheels are rotating or stationary.

[0006] Furthermore, when the tooth tops of the convex teeth on the driving wheel and the tooth tops of the convex teeth on the driven wheel are closest to each other, the distance between the two tooth tops of the convex teeth is 1-2 cm.

[0007] Furthermore, the height difference between the rotating shaft of the driving wheel and the rotating shaft of the driven wheel is 2-3 cm.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide bosses are multiple triangular prisms evenly arranged around the center of the guide plate, with one triangular tip of the triangular prism facing outward and both sides of the triangular tip being inclined surfaces with different inclination directions.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of the triangular prisms is the same as the number of the convex teeth on the outer side of the driving wheel, and the triangular prisms are arranged at both ends of the groove between two adjacent convex teeth on the outer side of the driving wheel.

[0010] Furthermore, the two groups of heating elements are 1 / 6 arc apart, and the heating assembly is located directly below the inner cylinder when the inner cylinder stops rotating.

[0011] Furthermore, the heating component includes a heating wire and a quartz tube, the heating wire is sleeved in the quartz tube, and the heating component is fully enclosed and packaged on the inner wall of the inner tube and does not contact the inner tube wall.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention is small in size and easy to use. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are not on the same horizontal line, the number of convex teeth of the driven wheel is not the same as that of the driving wheel, and sufficient minimum spacing between the tooth tops of the driving wheel and the driven wheel is reserved, so there is ample rotation space when washing socks, and excessive squeezing between the two rollers will not be caused. The present invention is provided with a guide plate perpendicular to the axis at both ends of the driving wheel, and the guide plate has a plurality of evenly distributed triangular prisms, and the sides of the prisms are two inclined trapezoidal surfaces in different directions. When the guide plate rotates, these trapezoidal surfaces form an effect similar to that of spiral blades, which prompts water to flow to the middle area of ​​the roller. When rotating forward and reverse, the water at both ends of the driving wheel flows to the middle area of ​​the driving wheel, so that the socks will not be blocked at both ends of the shaft, which is convenient for the driving wheel and the driven wheel to squeeze and wash the socks, and has a drying function, which is easy to use.

[0017] 1. Driving wheel; 2. Driven wheel; 3. Guide plate; 4. Convex teeth; 5. Inner cylinder; 6. Triangular prism; 7. Heating assembly DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an inner drum structure of a sock washing machine with integrated washing and drying, two rollers are horizontally installed in the inner drum 5 of the sock washing machine, which are divided into a driving wheel 1 and a driven wheel 2, and the teeth of both wheels are of smooth transition tooth shape. The driving wheel shaft is connected to the variable frequency speed regulating motor, and the driven wheel has no power and can rotate freely. The driving wheel is designed with 6-8 convex teeth 4 evenly distributed, and the tooth shape is a smooth "V" shape. The driven wheel has 4 convex teeth evenly distributed. The axes of the two rollers are designed to have a height difference and are not on the same horizontal line. The two rollers do not touch, and when the tooth tops are relatively close, a certain space distance is left.

[0020] The driving wheel makes the fabric float upward or hook up the fabric through the water flow, and the other parts of the fabric are entangled or rubbed with the driven wheel, driving the driven wheel to rotate occasionally or continuously and freely in the forward or reverse direction, so that the socks are stirred up, sink due to gravity, and then stirred up again, so that the socks have upside-down floating and sinking changes, and are squeezed, released, and squeezed again by the teeth of the driving and driven wheels, or no squeezing is formed but only friction is formed, all of which can form a rubbing effect.

[0021] When the main and driven wheels squeeze the fabric, if more fabric is put in, there may be a situation where the top of the teeth are against the top of the teeth, and the squeezing ratio is the largest at this time. However, since the driven wheel has no power and can rotate freely, when the top of the teeth squeezes against the top of the teeth, the driven wheel immediately rotates and shifts, so as not to damage the two shafts. However, it is necessary to limit the amount and volume of the fabric put in. It is only used for washing socks, and long clothes cannot be put in. The maximum number of socks put in is limited to 5 pairs. When the fabric exceeds the quantity and volume, or the squeezing ratio of the two wheels is too large, the machine will stop and alarm. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are not on the same horizontal line. The driven wheel has 4 teeth instead of the same number of teeth as the driving wheel, and there is sufficient minimum spacing between the tops of the teeth of the driving wheel 1 and the driven wheel 2, all of which are to have sufficient rotation space when washing socks and avoid excessive squeezing between the two rollers.

[0022] At both ends of the driving wheel, a guide plate 3 is installed perpendicular to the axis and rotates synchronously with the driving wheel. Figure 3 As shown. There are five evenly distributed triangular prisms 6 on the guide plate, and the sides of the prisms are two trapezoidal surfaces inclined in different directions. When the guide plate rotates, these trapezoidal surfaces form an effect similar to spiral blades, which promotes the water flow to the middle area of ​​the roller. When rotating forward or reverse, the water at both ends of the driving wheel flows to the middle area of ​​the driving wheel, so that the socks will not be biased toward the two ends of the shaft.

[0023] The rollers 3 and 1 are installed in the inner cylinder. The circumferential wall of the stainless steel inner cylinder 5 is covered with smooth holes, and the bottom circumference is wrapped with a heating element 7. The outer cylinder serves as a water inlet and outlet and water storage function, and a certain gap is designed with the inner cylinder.

[0024] Working process of the sock washing machine: put socks and detergent into the input port, and connect the water source and power supply. Set the process time (the following is an example of 10 minutes). Start, and the sock washing machine starts working. Water enters the outer drum, enters the inner drum through the holes, submerges the socks to be washed, and reaches the water level, and the roller starts working. After about 4 minutes, the water is drained, and the inner drum rotates at high speed to dry. After 1 minute, the drying stops, and the electric heating element wrapped by the inner drum wall is powered on to dry. The inner drum slowly rotates forward and reverse alternately, each time rotating at an angle of about 30°, forming a swinging effect to prevent the socks from being burned due to long contact with the heating component. At the same time, hot air is blown between the inner and outer drums. After about 4 minutes, it automatically stops and an alarm is sounded to remind you that washing is complete. Take out the socks.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
