Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of washing machines, and in particular relates to a washing machine with a function of self-cleaning the inner wall of an outer barrel. Background Art

[0002] Due to the limitations of the washing machine structure and the particularity of the usage environment, the inner and outer barrels inside the washing machine are a closed environment where only water can pass through, so dirt will adhere to the inner and outer barrels. Relevant organizations have determined that after 3-5 months of use, bacteria of varying degrees will grow inside the washing machine, and most of the bacteria that grow are harmful to the human body. As people's demand for environmental protection and hygiene becomes higher and higher, the problem of cleaning the internal environment of the washing machine has become an urgent problem that needs to be overcome from the perspective of fundamentally avoiding secondary pollution of the washing machine to the laundry and being responsible for the health of the user.

[0003] Due to the special structure of washing machines, the hygiene of their internal environment was once valued by the entire industry. The results of investigations on the internal environment of washing machines by relevant scientific research institutions are not optimistic:

[0004] The Osaka Institute of Environmental Science in Japan conducted a survey on 153 washing machines. It found that the mold in the inner drum of a new washing machine began to increase significantly after five months of use. Residents living on the first floor of a building had more mold in their washing machines. Washing machines that were opened after washing had 40% less mold than those that were not opened. Most of the mold on clothes was "stained" from the washing machine drum.

[0005] In September 2006, the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a random inspection of 128 household fully automatic turbine washing machines in six districts and counties of Shanghai and found that the bacteria detection rate of these washing machines was as high as 81.3%, the total coliform detection rate was 100%, and the mold detection rate was 60.2%. Among them, the total bacteria, total coliform group and mold detection rate of 70 washing machines exceeded the standard.

[0006] The molds that grow in washing machines not only contaminate clothes, but also cause a series of diseases through contact with the human body, which is particularly harmful to the elderly, women and children. For example, some molds may cause skin allergies and asthma, and under certain conditions may also cause skin diseases such as athlete's foot and ringworm. If the amount of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa contained in the dirt is relatively large and the skin is damaged, it may cause wound infection or even sepsis. The "black hand" behind some gynecological diseases in clinical practice is also secondary pollution from washing machines.

[0007] A report on the problem of mold growth inside washing machines released by the Chinese Association of Preventive Medicine also showed that mold could be detected in 60.2% of washing machines that had been in use for more than half a year.

[0008] Therefore, with the improvement of people's living standards and the improvement of quality of life, the solution to the hygiene problem of washing machines has become very urgent.

[0009] Chinese patent 200820183308.4 discloses a tub-to-tub washing machine with inter-tub cleaning, which includes an inner tub, an outer tub, and a plurality of round silicone balls for cleaning the inner and outer tub walls. The inner tub rotates during washing to drive the flow of water, thereby driving the silicone balls between the inner and outer tubs of the washing machine to move and continuously collide with the two walls of the inner and outer tubs to achieve the purpose of cleaning the inner and outer tub walls. However, the relative hardness of this ball is relatively large. It is found in the test that the hard object has little effect on the cleaning of the inner and outer tubs, and the number of the balls is 20-80, which is easy to produce a lot of noise during the washing process, especially the dehydration process, and at the same time increases the energy consumption of the washing machine, affecting the life of the washing machine. In addition, since the material used is silicone, this material is easy to fall into pieces after being rubbed several times, which affects the life of the washing machine on the one hand, and the falling debris affects the washing effect of the washing machine on the other hand. If used in a drum with a drying function, the silicone ball is easy to age and lose its function. At the same time, the patent does not consider the inhibitory effect of the washing ball itself on bacteria in a humid environment. In addition, the silicone ball is placed between the inner and outer drums of the washing machine for a long time, and dirt may form on the silicone ball itself after a long time. The closed structure of the washing machine makes it impossible to remove the silicone ball from the washing machine, and it is impossible to clean or replace it.

[0010] Chinese patent 200810086486.X discloses a method and device for cleaning the inner and outer barrels of a washing machine, the device is composed of an annular brush, an elastic material, a transmission line, and a power device; the annular brush is used to move up and down between the outer barrel and the inner barrel, and the bristles of the annular brush clean the inner wall of the outer barrel and the outer wall of the inner barrel of the washing machine, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning the inner barrel wall and the outer barrel wall, and avoid secondary pollution caused by using the washing machine. However, this patent requires a power device to drive the annular brush to move up and down between the outer barrel and the inner barrel, which increases the cost; the annular brush is close to the outer barrel and the inner barrel, and when the washing machine is dehydrating, the inner barrel rotates faster, and the annular brush will have severe friction with the inner barrel, which will not only generate noise, but also reduce the service life of the annular brush.

[0011] The Chinese patent application number 201110239270.4 discloses a magnetic cleaning method for a washing machine and a washing machine. Cleaning particles are arranged between the inner and outer barrels of the washing machine. The cleaning particles contain magnetic metal materials. An electromagnetic device is installed on the outer wall of the outer barrel. The electromagnetic device attracts the cleaning particles to gather in piles at the inner wall of the outer barrel where the electromagnetic device is installed and can reciprocate up and down along the inner wall of the outer barrel, thereby cleaning the outer wall of the inner barrel and the inner wall of the outer barrel where the electromagnetic device is installed. The disadvantage is that it cannot clean the entire inner wall of the outer barrel. Therefore, this invention does not thoroughly clean the interlayer dirt between the inner and outer barrels of the washing machine, and does not really solve the problem of secondary pollution of the laundry by the inner barrel type washing machine. In addition, during dehydration, if the silica gel balls or cleaning particles are not specially treated, they will violently collide with the inner and outer barrel walls under the high-speed rotation of the inner barrel, causing great noise and wear, and even jamming the inner barrel.

[0012] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0013] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a washing machine with the function of self-cleaning the inner wall of the outer barrel. The cleaning component is retractably arranged on the wall of the inner barrel. When the washing machine is dehydrating, the cleaning unit is away from the inner wall of the outer barrel, thereby reducing the friction between the cleaning unit and the inner wall of the outer barrel, reducing losses and reducing noise.

[0014] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a washing machine with the function of self-cleaning the inner wall of the outer barrel, comprising an inner barrel and an outer barrel, wherein a plurality of self-cleaning devices are installed on the inner barrel, and the self-cleaning devices include:

[0015] The cleaning component is telescopically mounted on the wall of the inner barrel, with one end extending out of the outer wall of the inner barrel for cleaning the inner wall of the outer barrel.

[0016] The adjusting component is used to adjust the length of the cleaning component extending from the outer wall of the inner barrel.

[0017] Furthermore, the cleaning component includes:

[0018] The cleaning unit is used to clean the inner wall of the outer barrel.

[0019] Preferably, the cleaning unit is a brush, but may also be other units having a cleaning function.

[0020] The connecting rod is passed through the wall of the inner barrel, one end of which is connected to the cleaning unit, and the other end of which is connected to the adjusting component.

[0021] Furthermore, the adjustment component includes a force providing unit, which is installed on the wall of the inner barrel and connected to the cleaning component, and is used to provide a force for the cleaning component to extend out of the outer wall of the inner barrel.

[0022] Preferably, the force providing unit is an elastic unit.

[0023] Furthermore, the adjustment component also includes a gravity block and a connection unit. The gravity block is connected to the cleaning component via the connection unit, and the centrifugal force of the rotation of the inner barrel is used to drive the cleaning component to shrink toward the center of the inner barrel.

[0024] Furthermore, it comprises a cover body, which is installed on the inner wall of the inner barrel, a first chamber is formed between the cover body and the inner wall of the inner barrel, and the adjustment component is installed in the first chamber.

[0025] Providing a cover body can prevent clothes from being scratched and damaged during washing.

[0026] Furthermore, a plurality of slideway assemblies are provided in the first chamber along the radial direction of the inner barrel, and the slideway assemblies include:

[0027] The first slideway is used to define a sliding path of the cleaning assembly, and the elastic unit is installed in the first slideway.

[0028] The second slideway, the weight block is movably arranged in the second slideway, one end of the connecting unit is connected to the cleaning component in the first slideway, and the other end is connected to the weight block in the second slideway.

[0029] Furthermore, the first slideway and the second slideway are hollow tube structures.

[0030] The first slideway and the second slideway are connected via a connecting channel at one end close to the center of the inner barrel.

[0031] The connection unit connects the cleaning assembly and the gravity block through the connection channel.

[0032] Preferably, the gravity block is a small ball, or it can be other objects that can move by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the inner barrel.

[0033] The preferred connection unit is a rope, but it may also be other units that can meet the connection requirements.

[0034] Furthermore, one end of the first slideway connected to the connecting channel is provided with a first limiting portion, and the other end is connected to the second chamber between the inner and outer barrels through a first through hole opened on the barrel wall of the inner barrel for installing a cleaning component.

[0035] One end of the elastic unit is connected to the cleaning assembly, and the other end abuts against the first limiting portion to prevent the elastic unit from escaping from the first slideway.

[0036] Preferably, the elastic unit is a spring, or may be other units that can meet the elasticity requirements.

[0037] Furthermore, a second limiting portion is provided at one end of the second slideway communicating with the connecting channel, for preventing the gravity block from escaping from the second slideway.

[0038] Preferably, the other end of the second slide forms a closed structure with the wall of the inner barrel.

[0039] The slideway assembly is sealed with the inner wall of the inner barrel to prevent water, wire scraps and other substances from entering the first slideway and the second slideway to affect use.

[0040] Furthermore, the cleaning component has a first state and a second state.

[0041] The first state is that when the washing machine is washing or rinsing, the cleaning component extends out of the outer wall of the inner barrel and contacts the inner wall of the outer barrel, and cleans the inner wall of the outer barrel as the inner barrel rotates.

[0042] The second state is that when the washing machine is dehydrating, the cleaning component shrinks toward the center of the inner barrel and away from the inner wall of the outer barrel, which can effectively reduce excessive friction on the cleaning unit caused by the accelerated rotation of the inner barrel, increase service life, and reduce noise.

[0043] The number of cleaning components installed can be set according to the height of the inner barrel, so that the cleaning unit can clean the inner wall of the entire outer barrel.

[0044] When the cleaning unit needs to be replaced after being used for a period of time, it is only necessary to remove the cover.

[0045] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0046] The present invention provides a washing machine with a function of self-cleaning the inner wall of an outer barrel. The length of a cleaning unit extending out of the outer wall of an inner barrel is controlled by an adjusting component. When the cleaning unit contacts the inner wall of the outer barrel, the cleaning unit rotates with the inner barrel to clean the inner wall of the outer barrel. When the cleaning unit is away from the inner wall of the outer barrel, excessive friction can be reduced, service life can be increased, and noise can be reduced.

[0047] The present invention provides a washing machine with a self-cleaning outer barrel inner wall function, which can realize self-cleaning of the outer barrel inner wall through its own structure, and has the characteristics of improving the cleanliness and cleaning effect of the washing machine, facilitating disassembly, increasing service life, and reducing noise and cost.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a washing machine with a function of self-cleaning the inner wall of an outer barrel, comprising an inner barrel 1 and an outer barrel 2, and a second chamber 11 is formed between the inner and outer barrels.

[0062] The inner barrel 1 is provided with a self-cleaning device, which includes a cover body 3 , and a connecting passage is formed between an inner cover and an outer cover of the cover body 3 .

[0063] A plurality of slideway assemblies are disposed on the inner wall of the cover body 3 , including a first slideway 5 and a second slideway 8 .

[0068] A plurality of self-cleaning devices are installed on the inner barrel 1 and are symmetrically installed with respect to the rotation center of the inner barrel 1 , so that the centrifugal force generated when the inner barrel 1 rotates is balanced and the inner barrel 1 is prevented from shaking.

[0069] The cover body 3 is installed on the inner wall of the inner barrel 1 , and a connecting channel is formed between the inner cover and the outer cover of the cover body 3 .

[0070] A first chamber 4 is formed between the inner wall of the inner barrel 1 and the cover body 3 .

[0071] The cover body 3 can prevent the clothes from being scratched and damaged during washing.

[0072] A plurality of slideway assemblies are provided on the inner cover of the cover body 3 in a direction away from the outer cover of the cover body 3 , including a first slideway 5 and a second slideway 8 .

[0073] The first slide 5 and the second slide 8 are hollow tube structures, and one end close to the center of the inner barrel 1 is connected through a connecting channel.

[0074] The self-cleaning device also includes a cleaning component and an adjustment component.

[0075] The cleaning component is telescopically mounted on the barrel wall of the inner barrel 1 , with one end extending out of the outer wall of the inner barrel 1 for cleaning the inner wall of the outer barrel 2 .

[0076] The adjusting component is used to adjust the length of the cleaning component extending from the outer wall of the inner barrel 1.

[0077] The cleaning assembly comprises a cleaning unit 7 and a connecting rod 12 .

[0078] The cleaning unit 7 is used to clean the inner wall of the outer barrel 2 .

[0079] The cleaning unit 7 is preferably a brush, but may also be other units having a cleaning function.

[0080] The connecting rod 12 is passed through the barrel wall of the inner barrel 1, one end of which is connected to the cleaning unit 7, and the other end of which is connected to the adjustment component.

[0081] The adjusting component includes a force providing unit 6, which is installed on the wall of the inner barrel 1 and connected to the cleaning component, and is used to provide a force for the cleaning component to extend out of the outer wall of the inner barrel 1.

[0082] Preferably, the force providing unit 6 is an elastic unit.

[0083] The adjustment assembly further comprises a gravity block 9 and a connecting unit 10 .

[0084] The gravity block 9 is connected to the cleaning assembly via the connection unit 10 , and utilizes the centrifugal force of the rotation of the inner barrel 1 to drive the cleaning assembly to shrink toward the center of the inner barrel 1 .

[0085] The first slideway 5 is used to define a sliding path of the cleaning component, and the elastic unit is installed in the first slideway 5 .

[0086] The gravity block 9 is movably arranged in the second slideway 8 . One end of the connecting unit 10 is connected to the cleaning assembly in the first slideway 5 , and the other end is connected to the gravity block 9 in the second slideway 8 .

[0087] The connecting unit 10 connects the cleaning assembly and the gravity block 9 through the connecting channel.

[0088] The gravity block 9 is preferably a small ball, but may also be other objects that can move due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the inner barrel 1 .

[0089] Preferably, the connection unit 10 is a rope, but may also be other units that can meet the connection requirements.

[0090] One end of the first slide 5 communicating with the connecting channel is provided with a first limiting portion, and the other end is communicated with the second chamber 11 between the inner and outer barrels through a first through hole opened on the barrel wall of the inner barrel 1 for installing a cleaning component.

[0091] One end of the elastic unit is connected to the cleaning assembly, and the other end abuts against the first limiting portion, so as to prevent the elastic unit from escaping from the first slideway 5 .

[0092] Preferably, the elastic unit is a spring, but may also be other units that can meet the elasticity requirements.

[0093] One end of the second slideway 8 communicating with the connecting channel is provided with a second limiting portion, and the other end forms a closed structure with the barrel wall of the inner barrel 1.

[0094] The second limiting portion is used to prevent the gravity block 9 from escaping from the second slideway 8 when moving.

[0095] The slideway assembly is sealed against the inner wall of the inner barrel 1 to prevent water, wire scraps and other substances from entering the first slideway 5 and the second slideway 8 to affect use.

[0096] The number of cleaning components installed can be set according to the height of the inner barrel 1, so that the cleaning unit 7 can clean the entire inner wall of the outer barrel 2.

[0097] When the cleaning unit 7 needs to be replaced after being used for a period of time, it is only necessary to remove the cover body 3 .

[0098] In this solution, the cleaning component has a first state and a second state.

[0099] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when the washing machine is washing or rinsing, the inner tub 1 rotates and the cleaning assembly is in the first state.

[0100] At this time, due to the rotation of the inner barrel 1, the ball generates a centrifugal force to move toward the outer barrel 2, but the centrifugal force is smaller than the force of the spring. One end of the spring abuts against the first limit portion, and the other end pushes the connecting rod 12 out of the first slide 5, so that the brush contacts the inner wall of the outer barrel 2. The brush rotates with the inner barrel 1 to clean the inner wall of the outer barrel 2.

[0101] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, when the washing machine is dehydrating, the inner tub 1 rotates faster and the cleaning component is in the second state.

[0102] At this time, due to the accelerated rotation of the inner barrel 1, the ball generates a greater centrifugal force to move toward the outer barrel 2. The centrifugal force is greater than the force of the spring, and the ball moves toward the outer barrel 2 in the second slide 8. The connecting rod 12 is driven by the rope to compress the spring and shrink into the first slide 5, so that the brush is away from the inner wall of the outer barrel 2, preventing excessive friction between the brush and the inner wall of the outer barrel 2 during accelerated rotation, which is beneficial to increase the service life of the brush and reduce noise at the same time.

[0103] When the brush needs to be replaced after being used for a period of time, it is only necessary to remove the cover body 3, which is simple and convenient.

[0104] As an embodiment, the present invention provides a washing machine with a function of self-cleaning the inner wall of the outer barrel. A plurality of self-cleaning devices can be installed on the inner barrel 1 of the washing machine as required, without specific limitation.

[0105] As an implementation scheme, the present invention provides a washing machine with a function of self-cleaning the inner wall of the outer barrel. A chamber can be formed as a whole between the inner cover and the outer cover of the cover body 3, which is a connecting channel; or a connecting structure can be formed only between the first slide 5 and the second slide 8, which is a connecting channel; the first slide 5 and the second slide 8 can also be arranged into a structure similar to a U-shaped tube so that they are connected to each other, etc., and no specific limitation is made to this.

[0106] As an implementation scheme, the present invention provides a washing machine with a self-cleaning outer barrel inner wall function. The slide assembly can be installed on the inner barrel 1 of the washing machine, and then the cover body 3 is installed; the slide assembly can also be installed on the cover body 3, and then the cover body 3 is installed on the inner wall of the inner barrel 1, etc., without specific limitation.
