Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and in particular to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of society and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, making washing machines an indispensable appliance in the home. A washing machine is a cleaning appliance that uses electrical energy to generate mechanical action to wash clothes. The front-loading washing machine is a commonly used type. A front-loading washing machine generally consists of an inner drum and an outer drum that are nested together. The outer drum is sealed to hold water, while the inner drum holds the clothes. The inner drum rotates to tumble and wash the clothes. Simultaneously, the inner drum has dewatering holes, allowing water from the outer drum to flow into the inner drum to soak the clothes. Water from the inner drum then flows out through the dewatering holes to the outer drum. Finally, water from the clothes in the inner drum is discharged to the outer drum through the dewatering holes during the high-speed rotation of the inner drum, thus achieving the purpose of washing the clothes.

[0003] However, because the inner and outer drums are nested together, dirt easily accumulates between them during washing machine use. Furthermore, the nested design prevents users from cleaning the outer wall of the inner drum and the inner wall of the outer drum, leading to increased bacteria inside the washing machine and reduced washing efficiency and the cleanliness of washed clothes. Additionally, in existing washing machines, because the inner drum is enclosed by the outer drum, the washing process relies on the inner drum's rotation to tumble and wash clothes. This limits the washing capacity to the inner drum, resulting in low utilization of the internal space and preventing expansion of the washing capacity. Summary of the Invention

[0018] In the clothing handling device of the present invention, the inner and outer drums of a conventional washing machine are combined into one unit using the clothing handling drum, which is a sealed container that can hold water and clothes and rotate to tumble and wash the clothes. Simultaneously, since this clothing handling device does not have an outer drum, the clothing handling drum can be expanded, increasing the washing capacity.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a garment processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown and referenced Figures 2 to 9 This invention provides a garment processing device, including a support 20, a garment processing cylinder 30, and a first jet pump 40. The support 20 may also be referred to as a housing. The garment processing cylinder 30 is mounted on the support 20 and configured to contain garments to be processed. The first jet pump 40 has a suction port that communicates with the interior of the garment processing cylinder 30. The first jet pump 40 is configured to draw liquid from the garment processing cylinder 30 through the suction port to discharge the liquid from the garment processing cylinder 30, and the garment processing cylinder 30 is arranged such that the liquid in the garment processing cylinder 30 is discharged only through the first jet pump 40.

[0031] When the clothing processing device of this embodiment of the invention is working, when the clothing processing device needs to drain water, such as after washing or after spin-drying, the first jet pump 40 is started. The first jet pump 40 can draw out the liquid in the clothing processing drum 30 through the liquid suction port, thereby realizing the drainage of the clothing processing drum 30.

[0032] The clothing handling device of this embodiment combines the inner and outer drums of a conventional washing machine into one unit using the clothing handling drum 30 and the first jet pump 40. The clothing handling drum 30 is a sealed container that can hold water and clothes, and also rotates to tumble and wash the clothes. Furthermore, since this clothing handling device does not have an outer drum, the clothing handling drum 30 can be enlarged, increasing the washing capacity. The first jet pump 40 directly drains the water from the clothing handling drum 30, achieving both washing and spin-drying drainage. Further, this clothing handling device may have only a washing function, only a spin-drying function, or both washing and drainage functions. It may also further include a drying function, or only a drying function.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first jet pump 40 further includes a liquid outlet diffuser, a constriction throat, and a working fluid inlet pipe. The working fluid inlet pipe, the constriction throat, and the liquid outlet diffuser are connected in sequence, and the suction port is connected between the working fluid inlet pipe and the constriction throat. When the working fluid is ejected at high speed from the nozzle at the end of the working fluid inlet pipe, a negative pressure / vacuum is formed at the inlet of the constriction throat because the surrounding air is entrained by the jet, and the liquid in the clothes treatment drum 30 is drawn in. The two fluids mix and exchange momentum in the constriction throat, increasing the kinetic energy of the drawn-in liquid. Finally, most of the kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy through the liquid outlet diffuser, and then the two fluids are discharged, so that the liquid in the clothes treatment drum 30 is discharged only through the first jet pump 40.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple first jet pumps 40, and multiple suction ports are connected to multiple communication positions within the clothing processing cylinder 30, which are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the clothing processing cylinder 30, thereby improving the drainage efficiency of the clothing processing cylinder 30. Further, the first jet pumps 40 are installed in the clothing processing cylinder 30, either inside or outside the clothing processing cylinder 30. Multiple first jet pumps 40 can be evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the clothing processing cylinder 30.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, for better handling of clothing, the clothing handling cylinder 30 is rotatably mounted on the support 20. A first jet pump 40 is mounted on the clothing handling cylinder 30 to rotate with it. The clothing handling cylinder 30 is a closed cylinder, including a cylinder body with a clothing loading / unloading port and a sealing door installed at the clothing loading / unloading port. For example, one end of the cylinder body may be provided with an opening for clothing loading / unloading, and the sealing door may be installed on the support 20. The cylinder body may further be horizontally positioned. Providing a clothing loading / unloading port facilitates the loading and unloading of clothing.

[0036] To further improve the drainage efficiency of the garment handling drum 30, such as Figure 7As shown, the garment handling device also includes a second jet pump 50. The first jet pump 40 has an outlet for discharging liquid from the garment handling cylinder 30, and the second jet pump 50 has an inlet connected to the outlet of the first jet pump 40. After the first jet pump 40 draws liquid from the garment handling cylinder 30, the second jet pump 50 can re-draw the liquid discharged by the first jet pump 40, improving the drainage efficiency of the garment handling cylinder 30. The outlet of the jet pump can be the outlet of the liquid diffuser. Furthermore, both the first jet pump 40 and the second jet pump 50 have working fluid inlets. The working fluid inlet of the first jet pump 40 is used to introduce liquid or gas, and the working fluid inlet of the second jet pump 50 is also used to introduce liquid or gas, so that the working fluid inlet pipe is either a liquid inlet pipe or a gas inlet pipe. The working fluid inlet of the jet pump can be the inlet of the working fluid inlet pipe. The jet pump is operated by gas or liquid. Preferably, the working fluid inlet of the first jet pump 40 and the working fluid inlet of the second jet pump 50 are both connected to the same fluid supply pipeline 71. The second jet pump 50 may be installed on the clothing processing drum 30, located inside or outside the clothing processing drum 30, preferably outside the clothing processing drum 30.

[0037] In some garment processing devices of the present invention, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the garment processing drum 30 is rotatably mounted on the support 20 via a shaft assembly. A working fluid channel is provided within the shaft assembly, and the first jet pump 40 also has a working fluid inlet. The working fluid channel is connected to the working fluid inlet via a fluid supply line 71. The shaft assembly is arranged such that the fluid supply line 71 rotates with the garment processing drum 30.

[0038] For example, the shaft assembly includes a spindle 60, which is rotatably mounted on a support 20. A working fluid channel 61 is provided within the spindle 60, a fluid supply hole 63 is provided on the peripheral wall of the spindle 60, and a supply fluid inlet 62 is provided on the spindle 60. The supply fluid inlet 62 communicates with the working fluid channel 61. A fluid supply pipe 71 communicates with the working fluid channel 61 through the fluid supply hole 63.

[0039] Furthermore, a fluid delivery line is connected to the fluid supply inlet 62. The shaft assembly is arranged such that the fluid delivery line is stationary. In some embodiments, the fluid supply inlet 62 may be disposed on one end face of the main shaft 60, and this end of the main shaft 60 is rotatably and sealingly connected to the end of the fluid delivery line. In other embodiments, the shaft assembly further includes a sleeve shaft 68, which is fitted onto the main shaft 60 and is sealed to the main shaft 60. An annular conductive space is defined between the sleeve shaft 68 and the main shaft 60. The fluid supply inlet 62 is disposed on the peripheral wall of the main shaft 60. The fluid supply inlet 62 communicates with the fluid delivery line through the annular conductive space.

[0040] In some garment processing devices of the present invention, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a return channel 64 is provided within the shaft assembly, and the outlet is connected to the return channel 64 via a drain pipe 72. The return channel 64 is also connected to a drain pipe 73. When the garment processing drum 30 has only the first jet pump 40, the outlet of the first jet pump 40 is connected to the drain pipe 72. When the garment processing drum 30 has multiple jet pumps, the outlet of the last stage jet pump is connected to the drain pipe 72, such as the outlet of the second jet pump 50 being connected to the drain pipe 72. The shaft assembly is arranged such that the drain pipe 72 rotates with the garment processing drum 30, while the drain pipe 73 remains stationary.

[0041] For example, the shaft assembly includes a main shaft 60, which is rotatably mounted on a support 20. A return fluid channel 64 is provided within the main shaft 60, a return fluid hole 65 is provided on the peripheral wall of the main shaft 60, and a drain hole 66 is provided on the main shaft 60. Both the return fluid hole 65 and the drain hole 66 communicate with the return fluid channel 64. A drain pipe 72 communicates with the return fluid channel 64 through the return fluid hole 65, and with the drain hole 66 through the drain pipe 73. Further, in some embodiments, the shaft assembly also includes a sleeve shaft 68, which is fitted onto the main shaft 60 and sealed to it. An annular conductive space is defined between the sleeve shaft 68 and the main shaft 60. The drain hole 66 is located on the peripheral wall of the main shaft 60. The drain hole 66 communicates with the drain pipe 73 through the annular conductive space. In other embodiments, a drain hole 66 is disposed on one end face of the main shaft 60, and the inlet of the drain pipe 73 is connected to the drain hole 66 and is rotatably disposed relative to the main shaft 60.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the shaft assembly is provided with both a working fluid channel 61 and a return fluid channel 64. The working fluid channel 61 extends along the axial direction of the main shaft 60 and is coaxial with the main shaft 60. The return fluid channel 64 has an annular cross-section, is coaxial with the main shaft 60, and is located outside the working fluid channel 61.

[0043] The annular conductive space is a first annular groove, which is formed on the inner wall of the sleeve shaft 68. In some optional embodiments, the annular conductive space includes a second annular groove and a third annular groove. The second annular groove is formed on the inner wall of the sleeve shaft 68, and the third annular groove is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 60. The openings of the third annular groove and the second annular groove are arranged opposite to each other.

[0044] A fluid supply inlet 62 is located on one end face of the spindle 60. A return fluid hole 65 is located at the end of the return fluid channel 64 furthest from the fluid supply inlet 62, a drain hole 66 is located at the end of the return fluid channel 64 closest to the fluid supply inlet 62, and a fluid supply hole 63 is located at the end of the working fluid channel 61 furthest from the fluid supply inlet 62. The distance between the fluid supply hole 63 and the fluid supply inlet 62 is greater than the distance between the return fluid hole 65 and the fluid supply inlet 62, or the distance between the fluid supply hole 63 and the fluid supply inlet 62 is equal to the distance between the return fluid hole 65 and the fluid supply inlet 62. In other words, the axis of the fluid supply hole 63 and the axis of the return fluid hole 65 are in the same plane.

[0045] In some alternative embodiments of the invention, the main shaft 60 may remain stationary while the sleeve shaft 68 rotates. The stationary drain line 73 and fluid delivery line are directly connected to the main shaft 60. The rotating drain line 72 and fluid supply line 71 are connected to the sleeve shaft 68. For example, the shaft assembly includes a main shaft 60 and a sleeve shaft 68, with the sleeve shaft 68 rotatably mounted on a support 20. A working fluid channel 61 is provided within the main shaft 60, and a fluid supply hole 63 is provided on the peripheral wall of the main shaft 60. A fluid supply inlet 62 is provided on the main shaft 60. The fluid supply inlet 62 communicates with the working fluid channel 61. The sleeve shaft 68 is fitted onto the main shaft 60 and is sealed to the main shaft 60. An annular conductive space is defined between the sleeve shaft 68 and the main shaft 60. The fluid supply line 71 communicates with the working fluid channel 61 through the annular conductive space and the fluid supply hole 63.

[0046] The clothing processing device of this invention, by setting a shaft assembly, can ensure the transmission of fluid without affecting the rotation of the clothing processing cylinder 30, and has a simple and reliable structure.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of lifting ribs are provided inside the garment processing cylinder 30 to improve the garment processing effect. The plurality of lifting ribs are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the garment processing cylinder 30. Further, the plurality of lifting ribs may include a first lifting rib 31. Figure 2 As shown, the first jet pump 40 is disposed inside the first lifting rib 31. The structure is simple and compact, which can protect the first jet pump 40 and make full use of the structure of the first lifting rib 31.

[0048] Furthermore, there are multiple first lifting ribs 31 and multiple first jet pumps 40, with each first jet pump 40 disposed within one first lifting rib 31. All lifting ribs can be first lifting ribs 31, meaning that each lifting rib can contain a first jet pump 40. In some alternative embodiments, some lifting ribs may not contain jet pumps; that is, multiple lifting ribs may include at least one second lifting rib. The first lifting ribs 31 and the second lifting ribs are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the garment processing drum 30.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the interior of the first lifting rib 31 communicates with the interior of the garment processing cylinder 30, and the suction port is disposed within the lifting rib. The suction port faces the radially outer side of the garment processing cylinder 30. A groove with its opening facing the washing liquid port is provided on the inner wall of the garment processing cylinder 30 at a position aligned with the suction port. In some optional embodiments of the present invention, an annular groove is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the garment processing cylinder 30, and the suction port is aligned with the annular groove.

[0050] The working fluid inlet pipe, constriction throat pipe, and liquid outlet diffuser pipe can extend along the extension direction of the first lifting rib 31. For example, the clothing treatment cylinder 30 extends in the front-to-back direction, the first lifting rib 31 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the working fluid inlet pipe, constriction throat pipe, and liquid outlet diffuser pipe are arranged sequentially from front to back.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the first jet pump 40 is located on the outer side of one end of the clothing processing cylinder 30, and its suction port is connected to the interior of the clothing processing cylinder 30 through the inlet pipe 49. Preferably, the first jet pump 40 is located at the rear end of the clothing processing cylinder 30. Of course, the first jet pump 40 can also be located at the front end of the clothing processing cylinder 30. The first jet pump 40 being located on the outer side of one end of the clothing processing cylinder 30 does not occupy the internal space of the clothing processing cylinder 30 and is convenient for installation and maintenance.

[0052] Further, in some embodiments, the working fluid inlet pipe, constriction throat pipe, and outlet diffuser pipe are arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the garment processing cylinder 30. The inlet pipe 49 is parallel to the axial direction of the garment processing cylinder 30 and is located at the edge of the rear end face of the garment processing cylinder 30. In other embodiments, the working fluid inlet pipe, constriction throat pipe, and outlet diffuser pipe are arranged sequentially along a direction perpendicular to the radial direction of the garment processing cylinder 30. The inlet pipe 49 is located outside the first jet pump 40 and is located at the edge of the rear end face of the garment processing cylinder 30.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the garment handling device also includes a water tank 70 and a water pump 76. The water pump 76 is configured to pump water from the water tank 70 into the working fluid inlet. The water pump 76 and the jet pump at least draw liquid from the garment handling cylinder 30 through the suction port and discharge the liquid from the garment handling cylinder 30 through the discharge port. Further, the discharge port is connected to the water tank 70 so that liquid can be discharged into the water tank 70 through the discharge port. The water tank 70 has a water tank drain port 77. The discharge port is connected to the water tank 70, allowing for liquid recycling. A water level detection device 78 is installed inside the water tank 70 to detect the water level and control the system based on the water level.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6As shown, the garment handling device also includes an air source. The air source is configured to input gas into the working fluid inlet so that the air source and the jet pump at least draw liquid from the garment handling cylinder 30 through the suction port and discharge the liquid from the garment handling cylinder 30 through the discharge port. A one-way air inlet valve 79 may be provided at the working fluid inlet.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, when only the drain pipe 72 exists, the drain pipe 72 constitutes a water-guiding structure. When both the drain pipe 72 and the fluid supply pipe 71 are present, the drain pipe 72 and the fluid supply pipe 71 constitute a water-guiding structure. Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the water guiding structure is located on the outer side of one end of the clothing processing cylinder 30, preferably on the outer side of the rear end of the clothing processing cylinder 30.

[0056] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although numerous exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the scope of the present invention should be understood and construed as covering all such other variations or modifications.
