Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing technology, specifically to an inner cylinder of a clothing processing device and a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In order to ensure that the water in the inner drum of the existing clothing processing device can be discharged smoothly, multiple drainage holes are usually opened on the body of the inner drum. However, in the existing technical solution, although multiple drainage holes can drain the water in the inner drum, the drainage efficiency is low. At the same time, during the clothing processing process, the edges of the drainage holes may scratch the clothes, causing wear and tear on the clothes and reducing the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes an inner drum for a clothing handling device, which facilitates drainage, has high drainage efficiency, and simultaneously prevents the drainage holes from directly contacting the clothing, thus avoiding wear and tear and improving the user experience.

[0004] The present invention also aims to provide a garment processing device having the above-described inner tube.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an inner tube of a garment processing device includes: a tube body, the tube body including a tube body and a tube bottom, the tube body having a first drainage area; and a lifting rib, the lifting rib being disposed on the inner side of the tube body and covering the first drainage area, wherein a plurality of first drainage holes are provided at intervals in the first drainage area covered by the lifting rib, wherein in the first drainage area, the arrangement density of the first drainage holes near the tube bottom is greater than the arrangement density of the first drainage holes near the tube opening.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the inner cylinder of the garment processing device covers the first drainage area by providing lifting ribs on the inner side of the cylinder body, thereby covering multiple first drainage holes. This arrangement can improve the garment processing effect by utilizing the lifting ribs, and can also cover the first drainage holes by utilizing the lifting ribs. In this way, during the garment processing process, the first drainage holes can be prevented from directly contacting the garments and causing wear and tear, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, in the first drainage area, the arrangement density of the first drainage holes near the bottom of the cylinder is set to be greater than the arrangement density of the first drainage holes near the opening of the cylinder, thereby increasing the number of first drainage holes near the bottom of the cylinder. In this way, water near the bottom of the cylinder body can be quickly discharged through more first drainage holes, thereby improving drainage efficiency.

[0007] In some examples, the density of the first drainage holes gradually increases from the cylinder opening to the cylinder bottom.

[0008] In some examples, at least a portion of the first drain holes are spaced apart along the axial direction of the cylinder body, and the distance between two adjacent first drain holes gradually decreases in the direction from the cylinder opening to the cylinder bottom.

[0009] In some examples, the first drainage zone is provided with multiple drainage hole groups, each of the drainage hole groups including multiple first drainage holes arranged at axial intervals along the cylinder body; the multiple drainage hole groups are arranged at circumferential intervals along the cylinder body.

[0010] In some examples, multiple first drain holes in two adjacent drain hole groups are arranged alternately along the axial direction of the cylinder.

[0011] In some examples, the radial dimension of the cylinder gradually increases from the opening to the bottom.

[0012] In some examples, a water flow channel is provided between the lifting rib itself or between the lifting rib and the cylinder body, and the first drain hole is connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder body through the water flow channel.

[0013] In some examples, at least one side wall of the lifting rib is provided with a plurality of water inlets at its bottom, the water inlets cooperating with the cylinder body to form the water flow channel, wherein each water inlet corresponds to at least one of the first drain holes.

[0014] In some examples, the first drainage zone comprises multiple first drainage zones, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the cylinder body.

[0015] In some examples, the cylinder body is provided with a plurality of the lifting ribs, each of the lifting ribs extending axially along the cylinder body and covering one of the first drainage zones on the cylinder body.

[0016] In some examples, the inner circumferential wall of the cylinder has a kneading area, the kneading area and the first drainage area are arranged circumferentially on the cylinder, wherein the kneading area is provided with a plurality of kneading protrusions, the plurality of kneading protrusions are spaced apart circumferentially on the cylinder, and each kneading protrusion is curved.

[0017] In some examples, the kneading area is a non-porous region.

[0018] In some examples, a flow channel is formed between two adjacent kneading protrusions, with at least one end of a portion of the flow channel facing the first drainage area.

[0019] In some examples, the cylinder body also has a second drainage area, which and the kneading area are arranged axially on the cylinder body and located near the bottom of the cylinder body. The second drainage area includes a plurality of second drainage holes that are normally open and are spaced apart circumferentially along the cylinder body.

[0020] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a garment processing device includes: an outer drum; and an inner drum of the aforementioned garment processing device, the inner drum being rotatably disposed within the outer drum.

[0021] According to the clothing processing device of the present invention, by adopting the inner drum of the aforementioned clothing processing device, stains on the clothing and water in the inner drum can be discharged through multiple first drain holes during the clothing processing process. At the same time, it ensures that stains and water near the bottom of the drum can be discharged quickly and accurately, thereby achieving the purpose of processing clothing and effectively improving the drainage efficiency of the clothing processing device. It can also effectively reduce the wear and tear on the clothing caused by the clothing processing device during the processing of clothing, thereby improving the user experience.

[0050] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0051] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0052] The inner cylinder 1000 of the garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner cylinder 1000 of the garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a cylinder body 100 and lifting ribs 200.

[0054] The tube body 100 includes a tube body 120 and a tube bottom 110. The tube body 120 has a first drainage area 121. The first drainage area 121 is mainly used to facilitate the arrangement of the first drainage hole 1231, so as to facilitate drainage when the inner tube 1000 processes clothes.

[0055] The lifting rib 200 is located on the inner side of the cylinder 120 and covers the first drainage area 121. Multiple first drainage holes 1231 are arranged at intervals in the first drainage area 121 covered by the lifting rib 200.

[0056] The first drain hole 1231 is mainly used to connect the inner drum 1000 with the external flow path, ensuring that the water in the inner drum 1000 can be discharged smoothly through the first drain hole 1231 to achieve the purpose of treating clothes. At the same time, this application provides multiple spaced first drain holes 1231, which work together to drain water, thereby improving drainage efficiency and achieving the purpose of thoroughly draining washing water and dirt, thus improving the clothes handling capacity of the inner drum 1000.

[0057] Furthermore, by setting a first drain hole 1231 within the area covered by the lifting rib 200, the first drain hole 1231 is concealed by the lifting rib 200. On the one hand, this prevents users from directly observing the first drain hole 1231 within the first drainage area 121, improving the aesthetics of the inner drum 1000. On the other hand, during the clothing handling process, it ensures that the first drain hole 1231 does not directly contact the clothing, thereby preventing the edge of the first drain hole 1231 from abrading the clothing, effectively solving the problem of clothing wear, greatly reducing the wear rate of clothing, and improving the user experience.

[0058] It should be noted that the lifting ribs 200 are located inside the drum body 120. During the washing process, as the drum body 100 rotates, the lifting ribs 200 can drive the clothes to rotate. On the one hand, the lifting ribs 200 can raise the height of the clothes, and clothes of a certain height will fall back under the action of gravity, thereby realizing the up-and-down tumbling and tumbling of the clothes, achieving the purpose of processing the clothes. On the other hand, the lifting ribs 200 can increase the contact area between the clothes and the inner drum 1000, so that the clothes close to the lifting ribs 200 can rub against each other to produce a kneading effect, thereby improving the clothes processing capacity of the inner drum 1000 and improving the user experience.

[0059] In other words, the lifting rib 200 of this application can not only improve the clothing handling capacity of the inner tube 1000, but also improve the aesthetics of the inner tube 1000. At the same time, it can also prevent the edge of the first drain hole 1231 from abrading the clothing. This eliminates the need to set other structural components to cover the first drain hole 1231. While simplifying the structure of the inner tube 1000, it can also reduce the production cost of the inner tube 1000.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in the first drainage zone 121, the density of the first drainage holes 1231 near the bottom 110 of the cylinder is greater than the density of the first drainage holes 1231 near the opening 140 of the cylinder. This means that first drainage holes 1231 are provided at both the bottom 110 and the opening 140 of the cylinder. Furthermore, the number of first drainage holes 1231 near the bottom 110 is greater than the number near the opening 140, resulting in a higher density of first drainage holes 1231 near the bottom 110 and a lower density near the opening 140. This allows for a larger number of first drainage holes 1231 near the bottom 110 and a smaller number near the opening 140 per unit area.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the inner drum 1000 of the garment processing device can be provided with a large number of first drain holes 1231 near the bottom 110 of the drum, so that water in the drum body 100 near the bottom 110 can be quickly discharged, making drainage of the inner drum 1000 more convenient and improving drainage efficiency. This allows washing water and dirt in the inner drum 1000 to be discharged smoothly and thoroughly, improving drainage effect. Especially during the spin-drying process using the inner drum 1000, the combination of a large number of first drain holes 1231 can greatly improve the spin-drying quality, reduce the water content on the clothes, and thus improve the user experience.

[0062] A smaller number of first drainage holes 1231 are provided near the opening 140. The reduced number of first drainage holes 1231 results in a higher structural strength at the location corresponding to the smaller number of first drainage holes 1231. In other words, the structural strength of the cylinder body 120 near the opening 140 in this application is relatively high.

[0063] In other words, through the above settings, while ensuring that the washing water and dirt in the inner drum 1000 can be discharged quickly and smoothly, the structural strength of the drum body 120 can also be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the inner drum 1000 and extending the service life of the inner drum 1000.

[0064] Understandably, compared to the prior art, the inner drum 1000 of the garment processing device of this application sets the arrangement density of the first drainage holes 1231 near the bottom 110 of the drum to be greater than that of the first drainage holes 1231 near the opening 140 of the drum. This ensures that the first drainage holes 1231 are provided near both the bottom 110 and the opening 140 of the drum, while also allowing for a larger number of first drainage holes 1231 to be provided near the bottom 110 of the drum. This improves the drainage efficiency and effect of the inner drum 1000. At the same time, this application also arranges multiple first drainage holes 1231 on the positions covered by the lifting ribs 200 to ensure that the first drainage holes 1231 do not directly contact the garments when the garment processing device is processing the garments, thereby preventing the first drainage holes 1231 from pulling or tearing the garments and improving the user experience.

[0065] It should be noted that the effect of this application by adopting the above-mentioned arrangement (setting the arrangement density of the first drainage holes 1231 near the bottom 110 of the cylinder in the first drainage zone 121 to be greater than the arrangement density of the first drainage holes 1231 near the opening 140 of the cylinder) is most obvious when the inner cylinder 1000 is inclined relative to the horizontal direction so that the lowest point of the bottom 110 of the cylinder is lower than the lowest point of the opening 140 of the cylinder, or when the inner cylinder 1000 is formed into a conical cylinder so that the lowest point of the bottom 110 of the cylinder is lower than the lowest point of the opening 140 of the cylinder.

[0066] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0067] Optionally, such as Figure 8As shown, the cylinder body 120 has multiple locking holes, and the lifting rib 200 has multiple hooks 230 on both sides, with each hook 230 engaging with a corresponding locking hole. This snap-fit ​​connection method allows the lifting rib 200 to be fixedly mounted on the cylinder body 120. While ensuring the stability of the lifting rib 200 relative to the cylinder body 120, it also facilitates the connection between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120, reducing the assembly difficulty of the inner cylinder 1000 and simplifying its structure. Furthermore, the engagement of the hooks 230 and locking holes allows the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120 to form a detachable connection, meaning the lifting rib 200 can be completely separated from the cylinder body 120 for easy replacement or removal.

[0068] Of course, in other examples, the connection between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120 is not limited to the snap-fit ​​engagement of the hook 230 and the snap hole described above. Other connection methods are also possible. For example, the lifting rib 200 has multiple first connecting holes on both sides, and the cylinder body 120 has multiple second connecting holes that mate with the first connecting holes. The second connecting holes are formed as internal threaded holes, and bolts are passed through the first connecting holes and fixedly connected in the second connecting holes to achieve a detachable connection between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120. Alternatively, the cylinder body 120 has multiple slots, and the lifting rib 200 has multiple buckles on both sides. The multiple buckles are inserted into the multiple slots one by one to achieve a detachable connection between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the density of the first drainage holes 1231 gradually increases from the cylinder opening 140 to the cylinder bottom 110. That is, the number of first drainage holes 1231 gradually increases from the cylinder opening 140 to the cylinder bottom 110. This arrangement ensures that the density of the first drainage holes 1231 near the cylinder bottom 110 is greater than that near the cylinder opening 140, while also allowing for a larger number of first drainage holes 1231 to be provided from the cylinder opening 140 to the cylinder bottom 110. In other words, a larger number of first drainage holes 1231 can be provided within the first drainage area 121. This larger number of first drainage holes 1231, working together to improve drainage, enhances the drainage capacity of the inner cylinder 1000, thereby increasing drainage efficiency.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, at least a portion of the first drain holes 1231 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the cylinder body 120. This arrangement ensures that first drain holes 1231 are provided in the direction from the cylinder opening 140 to the cylinder bottom 110, and the multiple first drain holes 1231 work together to discharge water from different positions along the axial direction of the cylinder body 120, thereby improving drainage efficiency.

[0071] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the distance between two adjacent first drainage holes 1231 gradually decreases in the direction from the cylinder opening 140 to the cylinder bottom 110. Within the same area, the smaller the distance between two adjacent first drainage holes 1231, the more numerous the first drainage holes 1231 become, meaning the density of the first drainage holes 1231 increases. This ensures that the density of the first drainage holes 1231 gradually increases in the direction from the cylinder opening 140 to the cylinder bottom 110, specifically ensuring that the density of the first drainage holes 1231 near the cylinder bottom 110 is greater than the density of the first drainage holes 1231 near the cylinder opening 140, thereby improving the drainage efficiency of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first drainage zone 121 is provided with multiple drainage hole groups 123, each drainage hole group 123 including multiple first drainage holes 1231 arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the cylinder body 120. The cooperation of multiple drainage hole groups 123 can make the arrangement of the multiple first drainage holes 1231 in the first drainage zone 121 more uniform, thereby improving the aesthetics of the first drainage zone 121 and reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the first drainage holes 1231. In addition, the cooperation of multiple drainage hole groups 123 can also increase the number of first drainage holes 1231 on the cylinder body 120, thereby further improving the drainage capacity of the inner cylinder 1000 and improving drainage efficiency.

[0073] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple drainage hole groups 123 are spaced apart along the circumference of the inner drum 120. This allows water flowing from multiple locations within the inner drum 1000 to be simultaneously discharged through the first drainage hole 1231. In particular, it allows water flowing from different locations along the circumference of the inner drum 120 to be discharged simultaneously, thereby further improving drainage efficiency. Especially during the dehydration process using the inner drum 1000, the cooperation of multiple drainage hole groups 123 can greatly improve the dehydration quality and reduce the moisture content on clothing.

[0074] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, multiple first drain holes 1231 in two adjacent drain hole groups 123 are staggered along the axial direction of the cylinder 120. This staggered arrangement means that, along the axial direction of the cylinder 120, the distance between two adjacent first drain holes 1231 in two adjacent drain hole groups 123 and the cylinder bottom 110 is different. This allows the multiple first drain holes 1231 within the first drainage area 121 to be located at different positions on the cylinder 120, both axially and circumferentially. This arrangement allows the multiple first drain holes 1231 to work together to simultaneously drain water from different positions on the cylinder 120, making drainage of the inner cylinder 1000 more convenient and improving drainage efficiency.

[0075] In some specific examples, in two adjacent drainage hole groups 123, when the distance between the first drainage hole 1231 on the last side of one drainage hole group 123 and the bottom of the cylinder 110 is H, the distance between the first drainage hole 1231 on the last side of the other drainage hole group 123 and the bottom of the cylinder 110 can be set to 2H. In this way, when the distance between the multiple first drainage holes 1231 in each drainage hole group 123 gradually increases by a certain value, the multiple first drainage holes 1231 in two adjacent drainage hole groups 123 can be staggered to improve drainage efficiency.

[0076] In other words, by setting a large number of first drainage holes 1231 near the bottom of the tube 110 and by arranging multiple first drainage holes 1231 in two adjacent drainage hole groups 123 in an axially staggered manner in the tube body 120, this application can maximize the drainage efficiency and drainage effect of the inner tube 1000, thereby improving the effect of the inner tube 1000 in handling clothes.

[0077] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, multiple first drainage holes 1231 in two adjacent drainage hole groups 123 are arranged facing each other axially in the cylinder body 120. Here, "axially facing each other" can be understood as meaning that, axially in the cylinder body 120, the distance between two adjacent first drainage holes 1231 in two adjacent drainage hole groups 123 and the cylinder bottom 110 is the same. This arrangement reduces the difficulty of laying out multiple first drainage holes 1231, improves the efficiency of their arrangement, and ensures that the multiple first drainage holes 1231 arranged axially in the cylinder body 120 are more evenly distributed within the first drainage area 121, thus improving the aesthetics of the first drainage area 121 and consequently enhancing the aesthetics of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5As shown, the radial dimension of the cylinder body 120 gradually increases from the cylinder opening 140 to the cylinder bottom 110. That is, the radial dimension of the cylinder opening 140 is smaller than the radial dimension of the cylinder bottom 110. By connecting the cylinder body 120 between the cylinder opening 140 and the cylinder bottom 110, when the cylinder body 120 is set parallel to the horizontal plane, the overall structure of the cylinder body 120 can be set at an inclination relative to the horizontal plane, and the lowest end of the cylinder bottom 110 is lower than the lowest end of the cylinder opening 140.

[0079] With the above configuration, during the drainage process, due to gravity, the water in the inner cylinder 1000 will flow towards the bottom 110. Since this application provides a large number of first drainage holes 1231 near the bottom 110, the water in the inner cylinder 1000 can be guided to the first drainage holes 1231 and discharged through multiple first drainage holes 1231, thereby improving the drainage efficiency of the inner cylinder 1000 and ensuring that all the water in the inner cylinder 1000 can be discharged quickly, thus improving the drainage effect.

[0080] In other words, by creatively setting the radial dimension of the cylinder 120 and the number and position of the first drainage holes 1231, this application maximizes rapid drainage by matching the radial dimension of the first drainage holes 1231 with that of the cylinder 120, and ensures that all water in the inner cylinder 1000 can be discharged quickly. This improves drainage efficiency and drainage quality, resulting in better drainage quality in the inner cylinder 1000 and improved user experience.

[0081] In addition, by setting the radial dimension of the tube body 120 as described above, the volume of the inner tube 1000 can be increased, allowing the inner tube 1000 to handle more clothes at once, thus improving the user experience.

[0082] Optionally, the first drain hole 1231 is normally open to connect the inner and outer sides of the drum body 100. This ensures that the first drain hole 1231 can always connect the inner and outer sides of the drum body 100, which can improve drainage efficiency and completely drain the washing water and dirt in the inner drum 1000, thereby improving the drainage effect and enhancing the clothing handling capacity of the inner drum 1000.

[0083] Furthermore, by setting a first drain hole 1231 that is normally open, there is no need to set a seal for sealing the first drain hole 1231. This reduces the production cost and manufacturing difficulty of the inner cylinder 1000, while also simplifying the structure of the inner cylinder 1000 and making it easier to control.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lifting rib 200 itself is provided with a water flow channel, and the first drain hole 1231 is connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100 through the water flow channel. The water flow channel is used to avoid water flowing towards the first drain hole 1231, and at the same time, it can also guide the flow of water to ensure that the water in the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100 can be smoothly discharged through the first drain hole 1231, thereby achieving the purpose of dehydration.

[0085] In some examples, multiple water inlets are formed on the lifting rib 200. These multiple water inlets form the entrances of the water flow channel to connect the water flow channel and the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100, thereby connecting the first drain hole 1231 with the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100. In this way, the water in the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100 can be smoothly discharged through the first drain hole 1231.

[0086] Optionally, the diameter of the water inlet formed on the lifting rib 200 can be set to be relatively small. In this way, multiple water inlets can be set on the lifting rib 200. At the same time, multiple water inlets with smaller diameters can improve the dehydration capacity of the inner drum 1000 of the clothing processing device and also prevent the edges of the water inlets from scratching the clothes.

[0087] It should be noted that by providing water flow channels in the structure of the lifting rib 200 itself, there is no need to provide water flow channels between the lifting rib 200 and the tubular body 120. This allows the lifting rib 200 to fit tightly against the tubular body 120, thereby improving the positional stability of the lifting rib 200 and effectively improving the cleanliness of the garments.

[0088] Furthermore, by incorporating water flow channels into the structure of the lifting ribs 200, the distance between the water flow channels and the drum body 120 can be increased. This allows the water in the inner drum 1000 to flow out more slowly during the washing process, thus maintaining a higher water level in the inner drum 1000. This saves water consumption in the inner drum 1000, achieving water conservation. In addition, the above design also prevents water from mixing between the inner drum 1000 and the outer drum, preventing dirt and bacteria between the inner and outer drums from flowing into the inner drum 1000 through the water flow channels, thereby achieving a healthy washing effect.

[0089] In other examples, the water flow channel is not limited to being provided on the structure of the lifting rib 200 itself, but can also be provided between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120, with the first drain hole 1231 communicating with the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100 through the water flow channel. In this way, the water in the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100 can flow to the first drain hole 1231 through the water flow channel between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120, and then be discharged through the first drain hole 1231, achieving the purpose of dehydration. Moreover, the aforementioned water flow channel can also guide the flow of water, further improving drainage efficiency.

[0090] In some examples, a portion of the lifting rib 200 can be spaced apart from the cylinder body 120 to create a water flow channel between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120, thereby facilitating the connection between the first drain hole 1231 and the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100.

[0091] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, at least one side wall of the lifting rib 200 is provided with a plurality of water inlets 240. When the lifting rib 200 is located inside the cylinder body 120, the water inlets 240 are located between the side wall of the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120 to form a water flow channel between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120. In other words, the water inlets 240 and the cylinder body 120 cooperate to form a water flow channel, thereby realizing the communication between the first drain hole 1231 and the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100.

[0092] It should be noted that by providing multiple water passages 240 at the bottom of at least one side wall of the lifting rib 200, and by spaced out the multiple water passages 240 at intervals, the water passage area of ​​the water flow channel can be increased, thereby ensuring that water in the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100 can flow quickly into the water flow channel and be quickly discharged through the first drain hole 1231, thus improving drainage efficiency. Furthermore, by spaced out the multiple water passages 240, the side wall of the lifting rib 200 between adjacent water passages 240 can be used to connect the lifting rib 200 to the inner side of the cylinder body 120, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 100.

[0093] In specific examples, such as Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, multiple water inlets 240 are spaced apart along the length of the lifting rib 200, and multiple water inlets 240 are also provided on opposite sides of the width of the lifting rib 200. By providing multiple water inlets 240 along the length of the lifting rib 200, these multiple water inlets 240 work together to guide water from different locations along the length of the cylinder 120 to the first drain hole 1231. This ensures that water from different locations along the length of the cylinder 120 can be simultaneously guided to the first drain hole 1231 and discharged through it, thereby further improving drainage efficiency.

[0094] Furthermore, by providing multiple water inlets 240 on both sides of the lifting rib 200 in the width direction, these multiple water inlets 240 work together to guide the water in the inner cavity of the cylinder 120 located on both sides of the width of the lifting rib 200 to the first drain hole 1231. In other words, by providing multiple water inlets 240 on both sides of the width of the lifting rib 200, these multiple water inlets 240 work together to guide the water located at different positions on the circumference of the cylinder 120 to the first drain hole 1231 and discharge it through the first drain hole 1231. This ensures that the water at different positions on the circumference of the cylinder 120 can be discharged simultaneously, thereby further improving the drainage efficiency.

[0095] In summary, this application provides multiple water outlets 240 spaced along the length of the lifting ribs 200 to simultaneously discharge water from different locations along the axial direction of the drum body 120; and by providing multiple water outlets 240 on opposite sides along the width of the lifting ribs 200, water from different locations along the circumference of the drum body 120 can be discharged simultaneously. This ensures that water from multiple locations along both the axial and circumferential directions of the drum body 120 can be discharged simultaneously, thereby maximizing the drainage efficiency of the inner drum 1000. In particular, during the spin-drying process of the inner drum 1000, the water content on clothing can be minimized, improving the user experience.

[0096] Optionally, each water inlet 240 corresponds to at least one first drain hole 1231. That is, the water flow channel provided between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120 can correspond to at least one first drain hole 1231. Here, the correspondence can be understood as the water flow channel being directly opposite at least one first drain hole 1231 in the axial direction of the cylinder body 120. In this way, the water flow channel can directly guide the water in the inner cavity of the cylinder body 120 to the first drain hole 1231, and then discharge it through the first drain hole 1231, thereby improving the drainage efficiency of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0097] Optionally, the water outlets 240 located on opposite sides of the lifting rib 200 in the width direction are staggered to prevent water entering the area covered by the lifting rib 200 from one side of the width of the lifting rib 200 from being discharged from the other side of the width of the lifting rib 200. In other words, it ensures that water entering the area covered by the lifting rib 200 from the water outlet 240 can be discharged smoothly through the first drain hole 1231.

[0098] In specific examples, such as Figure 4As shown, the lifting rib 200 has a first sidewall 210 and a second sidewall 220 disposed opposite to each other in its width direction. The first sidewall 210 has a plurality of first water inlets 211, and the second sidewall 220 has a plurality of second water inlets 221. The plurality of first water inlets 211 and the plurality of second water inlets 221 are staggered. The staggered arrangement of the plurality of first water inlets 211 and the plurality of second water inlets 221 can be understood as follows: the projection of one of the first water inlets 211 on the first sidewall 210 onto the second sidewall 220 is located between two adjacent second water inlets 221, and correspondingly, the projection of one of the second water inlets 221 on the second sidewall 220 onto the first sidewall 210 is located between two adjacent first water inlets 211, thus resulting in the staggered arrangement of the plurality of first water inlets 211 and the plurality of second water inlets 221. The above arrangement ensures that multiple water inlets 240 are provided on both sides of the lifting rib 200 in the width direction. The multiple first water inlets 211 on the first sidewall 210 are used to guide water on one side of the lifting rib 200 in the width direction to the first drain hole 1231, and the multiple second water inlets 221 on the second sidewall 220 are used to guide water on the other side of the lifting rib 200 in the width direction to the first drain hole 1231. This ensures that water on both sides of the lifting rib 200 in the width direction can be guided to the first drain hole 1231 through the water inlets 240 and then discharged through the first drain hole 1231 to achieve the purpose of drainage.

[0099] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first sidewall 210 also has a first water-blocking part 212 located between two adjacent first water inlets 211, and the second water inlet 221 is disposed directly opposite the first water-blocking part 212. That is to say, the first sidewall 210 is not only provided with the first water inlets 211, but also with the first water-blocking part 212. In this way, some of the water flowing from the second water inlet 221 into the area covered by the lifting rib 200 will act directly on the first water-blocking part 212 under the action of inertia. The first water-blocking part 212 is used to block the flow of water and prevent water from flowing into the cylinder body 120 through the lifting rib 200. In this way, all the water flowing into the area covered by the lifting rib 200 can flow out through the first drain hole 1231 to achieve the purpose of drainage and improve the drainage efficiency of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0100] Optionally, such as Figure 4As shown, the second sidewall 220 also has a second water-blocking part 222 located between two adjacent second water inlets 221, with the first water inlet 211 directly opposite the second water-blocking part 222. The first water inlet 211 and the second water-blocking part 222 are configured in cooperation, so that some of the water flowing from the first water inlet 211 into the area covered by the lifting rib 200 will act directly on the second water-blocking part 222 under the action of inertia. The second water-blocking part 222 is used to block the flow of water, preventing water from flowing back into the cylinder body 120 through the lifting rib 200. In this way, all the water flowing into the area covered by the lifting rib 200 can flow out through the first drain hole 1231 to achieve the purpose of drainage and improve the drainage efficiency of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0101] In other words, this application provides a first water-blocking part 212 on the first sidewall 210 and a second water-blocking part 222 on the second sidewall 220. The first water outlet 211 is positioned opposite the second water-blocking part 222, and the second water outlet 221 is positioned opposite the first water-blocking part 212. This achieves an alternating arrangement of multiple first water outlets 211 and multiple second water outlets 221, which means that the water outlets 240 located on opposite sides in the width direction of the lifting rib 200 are staggered. This ensures that water entering the area covered by the lifting rib 200 through the first water outlet 211 and the second water outlet 221 can be discharged through the first drain hole 1231, thereby improving drainage efficiency.

[0102] in, Figure 4 The dashed line shows the flow path of some water entering the area covered by the lifting rib 200 under the action of inertia. It can be clearly seen from the dashed line that some water entering the area covered by the lifting rib 200 from the first water inlet 211 acts on the second water blocking part 222, and some water entering the area covered by the lifting rib 200 from the second water inlet 221 acts on the first water blocking part 212, so as to prevent some water entering the area covered by the lifting rib 200 from flowing towards the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100.

[0103] Optionally, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the outer surface of the side wall of the lifting rib 200 is provided with a shielding member 260, which is used to shield the water inlet 240. On the one hand, this prevents the edge of the water inlet 240 from scratching the clothes when the inner drum 1000 is processing clothes, thereby reducing the wear and tear on the clothes by the inner drum 1000; on the other hand, it prevents the user from directly observing the water inlet 240, thereby enhancing the visual aesthetics of the inner drum 1000, that is, improving the aesthetics of the inner drum 1000.

[0104] Optionally, at least a portion of the shielding member 260 is disposed on the side of the inlet 240 away from the cylinder body 120. With the above arrangement, when the lifting rib 200 is disposed on the inner side of the cylinder body 120, the shielding member 260 can be disposed away from the cylinder body 120, and the inlet 240 can be located between the cylinder body 120 and the shielding member 260. In this way, the shielding member 260 can effectively shield the inlet 240, thereby preventing the user from directly observing the inlet 240 of the lifting rib 200, thus improving the aesthetics of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0105] Optionally, a gap is provided between the shield 260 and the cylinder body 120 to connect the water inlet 240 and the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100. This gap is mainly used to avoid the water inlet 240, preventing the shield 260 or the cylinder body 120 from directly blocking the water inlet 240, which would prevent the water inlet 240 from connecting the first drain hole 1231 and the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100. In other words, by providing a gap between the shield 260 and the cylinder body 120, it is ensured that the water inlet 240 can normally connect the first drain hole 1231 and the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100, thereby ensuring that the water in the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100 can flow smoothly to the first drain hole 1231. At the same time, this gap can also guide the flow of water in the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100, ensuring that the water in the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100 can flow smoothly to the water inlet 240, and finally flow through the water inlet 240 to the first drain hole 1231, facilitating drainage through the first drain hole 1231.

[0106] Optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, one end of the shielding member 260 is connected to the side wall of the lifting rib 200, and the other end of the shielding member 260 extends away from the side wall of the lifting rib 200. By connecting one end of the shielding member 260 to the side wall of the lifting rib 200, the lifting rib 200 supports the shielding member 260, thereby improving the structural stability of the shielding member 260. At the same time, extending the other end of the shielding member 260 away from the side wall of the lifting rib 200 ensures that the shielding member 260 can effectively block the water outlet 240, thereby improving the aesthetics of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0107] Optionally, the shielding member 260 is formed as an annular shielding rib, which is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the lifting rib 200. This achieves a mating connection between the shielding member 260 and the lifting rib 200. In this case, the annular shielding rib is used to shield the water inlet 240, which can also effectively prevent the user from observing the water inlet 240, thereby improving the aesthetics of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0108] Optionally, after the annular shielding rib is fitted onto the outer peripheral wall of the lifting rib 200, the end of the annular shielding rib can be connected to the outer peripheral wall of the lifting rib 200 by adhesive or snap-fit, so as to achieve a fixed connection between the annular shielding rib and the lifting rib 200, thereby improving the positional stability of the annular shielding rib and ensuring that the annular shielding rib can effectively shield the water outlet 240.

[0109] Of course, in other examples, the annular shielding rib can also be integrally formed on the lifting rib 200 to reduce the assembly difficulty of the annular shielding rib and the lifting rib 200, while ensuring the connection strength between the annular shielding rib and the lifting rib 200, and ensuring that the annular shielding rib can be stably connected to the lifting rib 200.

[0110] Optionally, the ends of the annular blocking ribs away from the lifting ribs 200 are smoothed to prevent the ends of the annular blocking ribs from scratching the clothes, thereby reducing the wear and tear on the clothes caused by the inner tub 1000.

[0111] It should be noted that by providing a water flow channel between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120, the surface of the lifting rib 200 can be made into a non-porous structure, which not only simplifies the processing steps of the lifting rib 200 and reduces the manufacturing difficulty, but also further reduces the wear and tear of the inner cylinder 1000 on clothing.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first drainage zone 121 includes multiple first drainage zones 121, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the cylinder body 120. Since each first drainage zone 121 is provided with multiple drainage hole groups 123, and each drainage hole group 123 includes multiple first drainage holes 1231, this arrangement increases the number of first drainage holes 1231 on the cylinder body 120, thereby improving the drainage capacity of the inner cylinder 1000 and enhancing drainage efficiency.

[0113] Meanwhile, this application arranges multiple first drainage zones 121 at intervals along the circumference of the drum body 120, so that water from multiple locations within the inner drum 1000 can be discharged simultaneously through the first drainage holes 1231, thereby further improving drainage efficiency. In particular, during the dehydration process using the inner drum 1000, the cooperation of multiple first drainage holes 1231 can greatly improve the dehydration quality and reduce the moisture content on clothing.

[0114] Optionally, the cylinder body 120 is provided with three first drainage zones 121. The three first drainage zones 121 are evenly distributed on the cylinder body 120. The three first drainage zones 121 work together to discharge the water flow in the inner cylinder 1000, thereby achieving the purpose of dehydration and improving the dehydration efficiency.

[0115] Of course, in other examples, it is not limited to setting only the three first drainage zones 121 mentioned above. Those skilled in the art can also set more first drainage zones 121 according to actual drainage needs and the volume of the inner cylinder 1000, such as setting four first drainage zones 121, setting five first drainage zones 121, etc.

[0116] It should be noted that as the number of first drainage zones 121 increases, the structural strength of the cylinder 120 will decrease accordingly. Therefore, setting three first drainage zones 121 can not only improve drainage efficiency but also effectively improve the structural strength of the cylinder 120, thereby extending the service life of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0117] Optionally, the tube body 120 is provided with multiple lifting ribs 200. The multiple lifting ribs 200 are used to cooperate with multiple first drainage areas 121 on the tube body 120, so that each lifting rib 200 covers one first drainage area 121 on the tube body 120, thereby ensuring that each first drainage area 121 is provided with a lifting rib 200, avoiding wear and tear on clothing by the edge of the first drainage hole 1231, thus effectively solving the problem of clothing wear and tear.

[0118] In addition, by setting multiple lifting ribs 200, the multiple lifting ribs 200 work together to further increase the contact area between the inner drum 1000 and the clothes, thereby improving the cleanliness of the clothes.

[0119] In some specific examples, the drum body 120 is provided with three lifting ribs 200, which are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the inner drum 1000 to respectively shield the three first drainage zones 121. When the clothes handling device is in operation, the lifting ribs 200 rotate together with the inner drum 1000. As the lifting ribs 200 rotate from a lower position to a higher position, they can lift the clothes. As the lifting ribs 200 continue to rotate, the clothes will detach from the lifting ribs 200 under the action of gravity and fall freely, splashing onto the churning water or other clothes. This achieves the purpose of washing clothes and improves the washing effect of the clothes handling device.

[0120] Of course, in other examples, the number of lifting ribs 200 is not limited to the three mentioned above. The number of lifting ribs 200 can also be four, five, etc. The main point is to ensure that the number of lifting ribs 200 corresponds to the number of the first drainage area 121, and that the lifting ribs 200 can effectively cover the first drainage hole 1231.

[0121] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, each lifting rib 200 extends axially along the body 100. This increases the area of ​​the lifting ribs 200, ensuring that each lifting rib 200 can completely cover a first drainage area 121, preventing the first drainage holes 1231 spaced along the axial direction of the body 120 from being exposed, thus solving the problem of clothing wear. On the other hand, it ensures that the lifting ribs 200 can effectively tumble the clothes and increase the contact area between the inner drum 1000 and the clothes, achieving the effect of treating the clothes and improving the cleanliness of the clothes.

[0122] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner circumferential wall of the drum 120 has a kneading zone 300. This kneading zone 300 can provide greater frictional resistance to the clothes when the inner drum 1000 processes them, so that the drum 120 itself has a kneading effect, thereby making the clothes cleaner and improving the user experience.

[0123] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rubbing zone 300 and the first drainage zone 121 are arranged circumferentially on the drum body 120. Because the drum body 120 has a large circumferential area, this arrangement can maximize the area of ​​the rubbing zone 300 and the first drainage zone 121, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the inner drum 1000 and increasing the drainage efficiency.

[0124] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the kneading area 300 and the first drainage area 121 are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the cylinder body 120. That is, when the cylinder body 120 has a kneading area 300, the first drainage area 121 is not provided; correspondingly, when the cylinder body 120 has a first drainage area 121, the kneading area 300 is not provided. Since the lifting rib 200 of this application needs to cover the first drainage area 121, the above arrangement allows the kneading area 300 and the lifting rib 200 to be alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the cylinder body 120 (e.g., Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, this design avoids the lifting ribs 200 from obstructing the rubbing area 300, thereby maximizing the frictional resistance provided by the rubbing area 300 to the clothes and improving the washing quality. Simultaneously, this design also avoids the need to create a first drain hole 1231 within the rubbing area 300, making the placement of the first drain hole 1231 simpler and more convenient.

[0125] Meanwhile, by alternating the kneading zone 300 and the lifting rib 200 in the circumferential direction of the tub body 120, the kneading zone 300 and the lifting rib 200 work together to knead the clothes, which can further enhance the clothes handling capacity of the inner tub 1000.

[0126] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, the kneading zone 300 is provided with multiple kneading protrusions 310, which are spaced apart circumferentially on the drum body 120, each kneading protrusion 310 forming a curve. During the processing of clothes, the kneading protrusions 310 can come into contact with the clothes and rub against them to generate a kneading effect, thereby improving the clothes processing capacity of the inner drum 1000. At the same time, the cooperation of multiple kneading protrusions 310 can increase the contact area between the kneading zone 300 and the clothes, thereby further improving the clothes processing capacity of the inner drum 1000.

[0127] In addition, this application sets the rubbing protrusion 310 in a curved shape, which on the one hand ensures that the clothes can rotate normally in the drum body 100 to achieve the purpose of washing clothes; on the other hand, it can also increase the aesthetics of the rubbing protrusion 310, thereby increasing the aesthetics of the inside of the inner drum 1000.

[0128] Optionally, the rubbing area 300 is a non-porous area. Since the rubbing area 300 will directly contact the clothes during the process of the inner drum 1000 processing the clothes, by making the rubbing area 300 a non-porous area, the wear and tear on the clothes by the rubbing area 300 can be avoided, that is, the wear and tear on the clothes caused by the inner drum 1000 during the processing of the clothes can be avoided, thereby improving the user experience.

[0129] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, a guide channel 320 is formed between two adjacent kneading protrusions 310, with at least one end of a portion of the guide channel 320 facing the first drainage area 121. During drainage, the guide channel 320 guides the flow of water within the cylinder 120, ensuring that the water flows in a predetermined direction. Simultaneously, since one end of a portion of the guide channel 320 faces the first drainage area 121, the guide channel 320 can guide the water to the first drainage area 121. At this point, the water is discharged through the first drainage hole 1231 within the first drainage area 121, achieving the purpose of dehydration and improving drainage efficiency.

[0130] Optionally, one end of a portion of the flow channel 320 is directly aligned with the first drain hole 1231, and the flow channel 320 directly guides the water flow to the first drain hole 1231 to further improve drainage efficiency.

[0131] Therefore, it can be seen that the present application forms the flow channel 320 through the self-structure (kneading protrusion 310) on the cylinder body 120, so there is no need to set other flow guides, which further simplifies the structure of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0132] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, the cylinder body 120 also has a second drainage area 122. The second drainage area 122 and the kneading area 300 are arranged axially in the cylinder body 120, with the second drainage area 122 located near the bottom 110 of the cylinder. This is to make rational use of the space in the cylinder body 120 and ensure that the first drainage area 121, the second drainage area 122, and the kneading area 300 can all be located on the cylinder body 120.

[0133] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second drainage zone 122 includes multiple second drainage holes 1221 that are normally open. This can also be understood as the multiple normally open second drainage holes 1221 being positioned close to the bottom of the drum 110. During the installation of the lifting ribs 200, to prevent clothing from being caught due to the close proximity between the lifting ribs 200 and the bottom of the drum 110, the lifting ribs 200 and the bottom of the drum 110 are typically spaced apart with a considerable distance. For example, the distance between the rear end of the lifting rib 200 and the bottom of the drum 110 is set to be greater than 10mm. This ensures that clothing will not get stuck between the lifting ribs 200 and the bottom of the drum 110, thus ensuring that clothing can move normally within the inner drum 1000 during rotation, achieving the purpose of washing clothes. However, the above arrangement would result in the first drain hole 1231 in the first drainage zone 121 being spaced apart from the bottom of the cylinder 110, which would prevent the water between the first drain hole 1231 and the bottom of the cylinder 110 from draining properly. Therefore, this application provides a second drain hole 1221 near the bottom of the cylinder 110. The second drain hole 1221 is used to drain the water that cannot be drained by the first drain hole 1231, thereby improving the drainage effect of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0134] Furthermore, since the radial dimension of the cylinder body 120 of this application gradually increases from the cylinder opening 140 to the cylinder bottom 110, by setting the aforementioned second drainage hole 1221, the second drainage hole 1221 and the cylinder body 120 itself are matched in shape, which can maximize the realization of rapid drainage, thereby improving drainage efficiency and drainage quality.

[0135] In other words, this application utilizes the first drainage hole 1231 in the first drainage zone 121 and the second drainage hole 1221 in the second drainage zone 122 to drain water, which can greatly improve the dehydration quality and reduce the moisture content on clothing.

[0136] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple second drain holes 1221 are spaced apart along the circumference of the tub 120. The multiple second drain holes 1221 work together to drain water from the inner tub 1000 near the bottom 110, thereby treating the clothes. At the same time, the multiple second drain holes 1221 working together to drain water can improve drainage efficiency.

[0137] Optionally, the second drain hole 1221 is in a normally open state to connect the inner and outer sides of the cylinder body 100. With this setting, there is no need to install a seal at the second drain hole 1221, which further reduces the production cost of the inner cylinder 1000, while making the structure of the inner cylinder 1000 simple and easy to control.

[0138] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least one end of a portion of the flow channel 320 is directly opposite the second drainage zone 122. During the drainage process, the flow channel 320 can guide some of the water in the cylinder body 100 to the second drainage zone 122, at which time the water is discharged through the second drainage hole 1221 in the second drainage zone 122, achieving the purpose of dehydration and improving drainage efficiency.

[0139] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one end of part of the flow guiding channel 320 is directly opposite the second drain hole 1221. In this way, the flow guiding channel 320 can directly guide the water flow to the second drain hole 1221 and discharge it directly through the second drain hole 1221, further improving the drainage efficiency.

[0140] In specific examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, a portion of the multiple flow channels 320 is a first flow channel 321. One end of the first flow channel 321 extends toward the second drainage zone 122, and the other end extends toward the cylinder opening 140. In this way, the first flow channel 321 can guide the water located at the cylinder opening 140 to the second drainage zone 122, and then discharge it through the second drainage hole 1221 in the second drainage zone 122 to achieve the purpose of drainage.

[0141] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first guiding channel 321 includes a first guiding section 3211 and a second guiding section 3212. One end of the first guiding section 3211 extends toward the second drainage area 122, and one end of the second guiding section 3212 extends toward the cylinder opening 140. The other end of the first guiding section 3211 and the other end of the second guiding section 3212 are connected. Water at the cylinder opening 140 can then enter the second guiding section 3212 and flow along its extension direction. During this flow, because the other end of the second guiding section 3212 is connected to the other end of the first guiding section 3211, the water in the second guiding section 3212 can smoothly flow to the first guiding section 3211, then continue flowing along its extension direction to the second drainage area 122, and finally be discharged through the second drainage hole 1221 in the second drainage area 122, thus achieving the purpose of drainage using the second drainage hole 1221.

[0142] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bending direction of the first guide section 3211 is opposite to that of the second guide section 3212. This ensures that the opposite ends of the interconnected first guide section 3211 and second guide section 3212 extend towards the second drainage area 122 and the cylinder opening 140, respectively, thereby guiding the water flow at the cylinder opening 140 to the second drainage area 122 using the first guide section 3211 and the second guide section 3212. Furthermore, this arrangement also enhances the aesthetics of the first guide channel 321, thereby improving the aesthetics of the kneading area 300 in the inner cylinder 1000.

[0143] Optionally, a portion of the multiple flow channels 320 is a second flow channel 322, with one end extending toward the cylinder opening 140 and the other end extending toward the first drainage zone 121. In this way, during drainage, the second flow channel 322 can guide a portion of the water at the cylinder opening 140 to the first drainage zone 121, where the water is then discharged through the first drainage hole 1231, achieving dehydration and improving drainage efficiency.

[0144] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, a portion of the multiple flow channels 320 is a second flow channel 322. One end of the second flow channel 322 extends towards the bottom of the cylinder 110, and the other end extends towards the first drainage zone 121. In this way, during drainage, the second flow channel 322 can guide some of the water located in the first drainage zone 121 to the bottom of the cylinder 110, and then discharge the water through the second drainage zone 122 located at the bottom of the cylinder 110. Thus, the first drainage zone 122 and the second drainage zone 121 work together to achieve dehydration and improve drainage efficiency.

[0145] In other words, this application provides a kneading zone 300 on the inner circumferential wall of the cylinder body 120, and the kneading zone 300 forms multiple flow channels 320. Some of the flow channels 320 can guide the water in the cylinder body 100 to the first drainage zone 121, and other flow channels 320 can guide the water in the cylinder body 100 to the second drainage zone 122, thereby realizing the drainage of water from different positions in the cylinder body 100 and improving the drainage efficiency of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0146] Optionally, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a portion of the structure of the bottom 110 extends toward the inner cavity of the body 120 to cover the second drainage area 122. This "covering" can be understood as the bottom 110 having the second drainage area 122 within the projection range of the circumferential surface of the body 120. This effectively covers the second drainage hole 122, ensuring that the second drainage hole 1221 does not directly contact the clothing during garment handling. This prevents wear and tear on the clothing from the edge of the drainage hole 1221, effectively reducing the wear rate and improving the user experience.

[0147] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, a water passage 150 is formed between the outer peripheral wall of the bottom 110 and the body 120, connecting the second drain hole 1221 and the inner cavity of the body 120. The water passage 150 primarily serves to prevent water flow towards the second drain hole 1221, while also guiding the water flow to ensure that water in the inner cavity of the body 100 can be smoothly discharged through the second drain hole 1221, thereby achieving the purpose of dehydration. Figure 6 The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction in which water in the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100 flows through the water passage 150 toward the second drain hole 1221.

[0148] In summary, the first drain hole 1231 and the second drain hole 1221 of this application are both covered by structural components (lifting rib 200 and bottom of the tube 110) and the kneading area 300 is set as a non-porous structure, so that the inner tube 1000 is similar to forming a non-porous structure, thereby improving the aesthetics of the inner tube 1000 and preventing the inner tube 1000 from scratching the clothes, thus improving the user experience.

[0149] Of course, in other examples, a third drainage hole (not shown in the figure) can also be provided at the uncovered position of the lifting rib 200 and the bottom of the cylinder 110, for example, a third drainage hole can be provided in the kneading area 300 to further increase the number of drainage holes on the inner cylinder 1000, thereby increasing the drainage efficiency of the inner cylinder 1000.

[0150] In the description of this invention, features defined as "first," "second," and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of these features, used to distinguish and describe features, without any order or emphasis.

[0151] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the inner tube 1000 may be made of stainless steel. The stainless steel tube can enhance the strength and rigidity of the inner tube 1000, thereby extending the service life of the inner tube 1000 of the garment processing device. In addition, the stainless steel tube has a metallic texture, which, together with the kneading protrusions 310 on the inner tube 1000, can enhance the visual aesthetics of the inner tube 1000.

[0152] A specific embodiment of the inner cylinder 1000 of the garment processing device of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0153] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner drum 1000 of the garment processing device includes a drum body 100 and lifting ribs 200. The drum body 100 includes a drum body 120 and a drum bottom 110. The radial dimension of the drum body 120 gradually increases from the drum opening 140 to the drum bottom 110. The drum body 120 has three first drainage zones 121, two drainage zones 122, and three rubbing zones 300. The rubbing zones 300 and the first drainage zones 121 are arranged circumferentially in the drum body 120. The second drainage zones 122 and the rubbing zones 300 are arranged axially in the drum body 120, with the second drainage zones 122 located close to the drum bottom 110.

[0154] The lifting rib 200 is located on the inner side of the cylinder body 120 and covers the first drainage area 121. Four drainage hole groups 123 are provided at the position of the first drainage area 121 covered by the lifting rib 200. Each drainage hole group 123 includes multiple first drainage holes 1231 arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the cylinder body 120. The multiple drainage hole groups 123 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the cylinder body 120. In the direction from the cylinder opening 140 to the cylinder bottom 110, the arrangement density of the first drainage holes 1231 near the cylinder bottom 110 is greater than the arrangement density of the first drainage holes 1231 near the cylinder opening 140.

[0155] A water flow channel is provided between the lifting rib 200 and the cylinder body 120, and the first drainage hole 1231 is connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder body 100 through the water flow channel.

[0156] The kneading zone 300 is provided with a plurality of kneading protrusions 310, which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the cylinder body 120. Each kneading protrusion 310 is curved, and a guide channel 320 is formed between two adjacent kneading protrusions 310. At least one end of a portion of the guide channel 320 is directly opposite the first drainage zone 121, and at least one end of another portion of the guide channel 320 is directly opposite the second drainage zone 122.

[0157] The second drainage zone 122 includes a plurality of second drainage holes 1221 that are normally open, and the plurality of second drainage holes 1221 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cylinder body 120.

[0158] The clothing processing apparatus of the present invention will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0159] The garment handling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an outer tub and an inner tub 1000.

[0160] The inner tube 1000 is the same as the inner tube 1000 of the aforementioned clothing handling device. The structure of the inner tube 1000 will not be described in detail here. The inner tube 1000 is rotatably disposed inside the outer tube.

[0161] According to the clothing processing device of the present invention, by employing the aforementioned inner drum 1000, the inner drum 1000 can drive the clothing to rotate during its rotation relative to the outer drum, thereby achieving the purpose of processing the clothing and ensuring that the clothing does not come into contact with the first drain hole 1231 and the second drain hole 1221 during rotation, thus avoiding scratches or wear on the clothing. At the same time, the aforementioned inner drum 1000 is provided with a large number of first drain holes 1231 near the bottom 110 of the drum. The cooperation of multiple first drain holes 1231 can ensure that the water in the clothing processing device can be discharged quickly, thereby improving the drainage effect of the clothing processing device, thereby improving the drainage effect, achieving the purpose of dehydration, reducing the moisture content on the clothing, and improving the user experience.

[0162] It should be noted that although both the first drain hole 1231 and the second drain hole 1221 of this application are set to the normally open state, during the washing process of the clothes handling device, since an outer tub is also provided on the outside of the inner tub 1000, when the space between the inner tub 1000 and the outer tub is full of water, the water in the inner tub 1000 will not be discharged through the first drain hole 1231 and the second drain hole 1221. At this time, the water in the inner tub 1000 can be used to wash the clothes. When the clothes are finished washing and need to be dehydrated, the outlet of the outer tub is opened so that the water between the inner tub 1000 and the outer tub can be discharged, thereby ensuring that the water in the inner tub 1000 can be discharged through the first drain hole 1231 and the second drain hole 1221 to achieve the purpose of dehydration.

[0163] The clothing processing device of this application can be a drum washing machine, that is, the inner drum 1000 of this application can be applied to a drum washing machine. Of course, it can also be applied to dryers and top-loading washing machines currently on the market. If the inner drum 1000 is applied to a dryer, it can improve the dehydration efficiency of the dryer. If the inner drum 1000 is applied to a top-loading or drum washing machine, it can improve the washing and dehydration efficiency of the top-loading or drum washing machine.
