Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of washing equipment technology, and specifically provides a washing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Laundry equipment is an essential household appliance, freeing up manpower and automating the washing of clothes, bedding, and other items, offering unparalleled convenience. Common classifications of laundry equipment include front-loading (drum) and top-loading (pulsator) washing machines. A front-loading washing machine consists of an outer drum and an inner drum. During washing, the inner drum rotates to agitate the wash water and clothes, allowing the clothes to be cleaned through friction between the drum's inner wall and the wash water. A top-loading washing machine has a pulsator located at the bottom of the tub. During washing, the pulsator rotates to agitate the wash water and clothes, allowing the clothes to be cleaned through friction between the pulsator, the tub's inner wall, and the wash water.

[0003] Based on the above, it can be seen that the washing methods of the two types of washing equipment are more likely to damage tangled clothes or large items. Specifically, when multiple pieces of clothing become tangled together as the inner drum or impeller rotates, or when large items are completely soaked in water, the items in these two situations have a great mass after being soaked in the washing water. They are more likely to be abraded when agitated by the inner wall of the washing tub or the impeller, which can easily damage the surface fibers, decorative patterns, or accessories of the rubbed parts of the items.

[0004] Accordingly, there is a need in the field for a new type of laundry equipment to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, namely the potential for abrasion of clothes during the agitation of existing laundry equipment, this invention provides a laundry device comprising a washing tub, a water-pressing assembly, and a drive assembly. The water-pressing assembly includes a fixed partition connected to the inner wall of the washing tub and a water-pressing partition movably disposed within the washing tub. The fixed partition is provided with a water-passing structure. The drive assembly is capable of driving the water-pressing partition to reciprocate relative to the fixed partition. The water-pressing partition is configured to squeeze the washing water by approaching the water-pressing partition, thereby causing the water-passing structure to spray an impact water flow, which in turn impacts the clothes located on the water outlet side of the fixed partition.

[0006] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned washing equipment, both the fixed partition and the pressure partition are vertically arranged along the radial direction of the washing tub. The bottom of the pressure partition is rotatably connected to the bottom of the washing tub. The drive assembly can drive the pressure partition to swing back and forth clockwise and counterclockwise to move closer to and away from the fixed partition.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned washing equipment, both the fixed partition and the pressure partition extend from the bottom of the washing tub to a position near the top of the washing tub. The outer side of the fixed partition is connected to the inner wall of the washing tub, the inner side of the fixed partition is set close to the inner side of the pressure partition, and the outer side of the pressure partition swings close to the inner wall of the washing tub.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned washing equipment, the water passage structure includes a plurality of water passage holes disposed on the fixed partition. The plurality of water passage holes include a first cluster portion and a second cluster portion distributed at intervals. The number of water passage holes included in the first cluster portion is greater than the number of water passage holes included in the second cluster portion.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned washing equipment, the first gathering part is disposed on the lower outer side of the fixed partition, and the number of the second gathering parts is three, and the three second gathering parts are respectively disposed on the lower inner side, the upper inner side, and the upper outer side of the fixed partition.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned washing equipment, the drive assembly includes a drive motor and a transmission shaft connected to the drive motor, the bottom of the washing tub is provided with a mounting hole, and the transmission shaft is connected to the bottom of the pressure baffle through the mounting hole.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned washing equipment, a reinforcing structure is provided on the inner side of the water pressure baffle, and the reinforcing structure extends along the length direction of the inner side of the water pressure baffle.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned laundry equipment, the laundry equipment includes a housing, the washing tub and the drive assembly are both disposed in the housing, the laundry equipment also includes a clean water tank and a water inlet valve disposed in the housing, the clean water tank is provided with an opening that allows washing water to enter, the clean water tank is connected to the washing tub through a water inlet pipe, and the water inlet valve is disposed on the water inlet pipe.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned laundry equipment, the laundry equipment includes a housing, the washing tub and the drive assembly are both disposed in the housing, the laundry equipment also includes a wastewater tank and a drain valve disposed in the housing, the wastewater tank is provided with an opening that allows washing water to be discharged, the wastewater tank is connected to the washing tub through a drain pipe, and the drain valve is disposed on the drain pipe.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned laundry equipment, the wastewater tank is detachably installed inside the tank, the wastewater tank is provided with a water inlet, and the outlet end of the drain pipe is detachably connected to the water inlet.

[0015] Those skilled in the art will understand that the washing tub of the washing device of the present invention is equipped with a water-pressing component, which includes a fixed baffle and a water-pressing baffle. The water-pressing baffle can repeatedly squeeze the washing water between itself and the fixed baffle, so as to cause the water-passing structure on the fixed baffle to spray out an impact water flow. This impact water flow impacts the clothes on the water outlet side of the fixed baffle. On the one hand, the impact water flow can improve the friction effect between the washing water and the clothes, eliminating the need for a hard agitator to stir the clothes. This softens the washing force while ensuring the washing effect. On the other hand, the impact of the impact water flow can cause the clothes to move and tumble in the tub, allowing different parts of the clothes to be exposed, thus achieving the purpose of washing the clothes thoroughly and quickly.

[0016] Furthermore, both the fixed partition and the pressure partition are vertically arranged radially along the washing tub. The pressure partition is connected to the washing tub in a swinging manner, and the drive assembly can drive the pressure partition to swing back and forth clockwise and counterclockwise to approach and move away from the fixed partition. In this case, both sides of the fixed partition can be placed so that when the pressure partition approaches either side of the fixed partition, it can generate a jet of water to wash and turn over the clothes on the other side of the fixed partition. At the same time, the pressure partition can also swing as close as possible to the fixed partition to squeeze the clothes with the help of the fixed partition, thereby improving the washing efficiency and washing effect.

[0017] Furthermore, the aforementioned water-passing structure includes multiple water-passing holes disposed on the fixed partition. The multiple water-passing holes include a first gathering portion and a second gathering portion distributed at intervals. The first gathering portion contains more water-passing holes than the second gathering portion, thereby causing the impact water flow on the fixed partition to be sprayed in a non-uniform manner. This not only increases the degree of disturbance of the impact water flow to the washing water and enhances the friction effect of the washing water on the clothes, but also reduces the difficulty of the impact water flow tumbling the clothes through the uneven distribution of the impact force, increasing the probability and number of tumbling of the clothes, and further optimizing the washing efficiency and washing effect of the clothes.

[0018] Furthermore, a reinforcing structure is provided on the inner side of the pressure baffle, which extends along the length of the inner side of the pressure baffle to enhance the strength of the torque transmission position of the pressure baffle and extend the service life of the pressure baffle.

[0019] Furthermore, the washing machine has a built-in clean water tank, eliminating the need for an external water inlet pipe. This removes the location restrictions on the water source during installation and reduces the space required for external piping, thus improving the machine's adaptability to different environments.

[0020] Furthermore, the washing machine has a built-in wastewater tank, eliminating the need for external drainage pipes. This frees the washing machine from the limitations of sewage discharge locations such as sewers during installation, reduces the space required for external pipe installation, and improves its adaptability to different environments.

[0027] Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0028] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] First refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the washing equipment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the laundry equipment of the present invention includes a housing 1 and a washing tub 2, a water-pressing assembly 3, and a drive assembly 4 disposed within the housing 1. The housing 1 is an outer shell structure formed by an upper housing wall, a lower housing wall, a left housing wall, a right housing wall, a front housing wall, and a rear housing wall. The washing tub 2 is a single-layer tub structure, which is vertically disposed within the housing 1. The tub is a sealed structure to accommodate washing water and laundry. The upper housing wall of the housing 1 is provided with an openable and closable door corresponding to the inlet of the washing tub 2, so that the door can be opened to expose the inlet of the washing tub 2 or closed to seal the internal environment of the housing 1. The water-pressing assembly 3 includes a fixed partition 31 connected to the inner wall of the washing tub 2 and a water-pressing partition 32 disposed movably within the washing tub 2. A water-passing structure 311 is provided through the fixed partition 31. The drive assembly 4 can drive the water-pressing partition 32 to reciprocate relative to the fixed partition 31 to repeatedly move closer to the fixed partition 31. Laundry and other laundry items are placed on one side of the fixed partition 31, specifically the outlet side of the water-passing structure 311. When the pressure partition 32 is close to the fixed partition 31, the space between the fixed partition 31 and the pressure partition 32 becomes smaller. The washing water between the fixed partition 31 and the pressure partition 32 is squeezed and overflows outside the two partitions. At least a portion of the washing water will flow out between the pressure partition 32 and the fixed partition 31 through the water-passing structure 311 under the squeezing action of the pressure partition 32. This causes the fixed partition 31 to spray an impact water flow, which impacts the laundry on the outlet side of the fixed partition 31 and increases the turbulence of the washing water on the outlet side of the fixed partition 31. This causes the original washing water and the impact water flow on that side to rub against the laundry, causing the laundry to tumble under the action of the impact water flow and be rubbed through by the washing water, thus achieving the purpose of cleaning the laundry.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the pressure baffle 32 and the fixed baffle 31 are arranged in parallel, with the pressure baffle 32 slidably connected to the washing tub 2. The drive assembly 4 can drive the pressure baffle 32 to reciprocate linearly relative to the fixed baffle 31, thereby achieving the purpose of repeated pressure. For example, both the fixed baffle 31 and the pressure baffle 32 are vertically arranged inside the washing tub 2, and a groove is perpendicularly provided along the bottom edge of the washing tub 2. The pressure baffle 32 slides in cooperation with the groove. The drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41 or cylinder capable of driving the pressure baffle 32 to reciprocate along the groove, and a transmission component (such as a gear-rail combination structure) capable of transmitting the torque of the drive motor 41 or the driving force of the cylinder to the pressure baffle 32. In order to adapt the internal space of the washing tub 2 to the movement requirements of the pressure baffle 32, the tub body of the washing tub 2 can be set as a rectangular box shape with a rectangular cross-section.

[0032] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 And continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the washing tub 2 of the laundry device of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the water-pressing component 3 of the washing equipment of the present invention. Figure 1-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the pressure baffle 32 is capable of reciprocating clockwise and counterclockwise relative to the fixed baffle 31 to repeatedly approach the fixed baffle 31. Specifically, both the fixed baffle 31 and the pressure baffle 32 are vertically arranged radially along the washing tub 2, and the bottom of the pressure baffle 32 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the washing tub 2, preferably rotatably connected to the center of the bottom of the washing tub 2. The drive assembly 4 is capable of driving the pressure baffle 32 to reciprocate clockwise and counterclockwise to approach and move away from the fixed baffle 31. Figure 1 Orientation, exemplarily, with the pressure baffle 32 positioned to the right of the fixed baffle 31 and the clothes placed on the fixed baffle 31. Figure 1 In the case of the side not shown, the drive assembly 4 drives the pressure baffle 32 to rotate clockwise and approach the fixed baffle 31. Figure 1The plate on one side of the fixed partition 31 sprays impact water onto the clothes, and drives the pressure plate 32 to rotate counterclockwise away from the plate on that side of the fixed partition 31 to perform the next squeezing action of the washing water. When clothes are placed on the other side of the fixed partition 31, the rotation direction of the pressure plate 32 is opposite to the above rotation direction. When clothes are placed on both sides of the fixed partition 31, the pressure plate 32 can rotate from a position close to the fixed partition 31 to a position close to the opposite side of the fixed partition 31, and repeat the clockwise and counterclockwise swinging action to alternately approach the two sides of the fixed partition 31, so that the two sides of the fixed partition 31 alternately spray impact water, so that the clothes on both sides of the fixed partition 31 can be impacted by the impact water. After the rinsing structure of the washing equipment, the washing water in the washing tub 2 is discharged out of the tub, and the pressure plate 32 approaches the fixed partition 31 to squeeze the residual washing water on the clothes between them, reducing the moisture content of the clothes.

[0033] Furthermore, both the fixed baffle 31 and the pressure baffle 32 extend from the inner bottom of the washing tub 2 to a position near the inner top of the washing tub 2, and the outer edge of the fixed baffle 31 (i.e. Figure 1 The left side of the fixed partition 31 is connected to the inner wall of the washing tub 2, and the inner side of the fixed partition 31 (i.e., Figure 1 The right side of the fixed baffle 31 is close to the inner side of the pressure baffle 32 (i.e., Figure 1 The pressure baffle 32 is set on the left side, and the pressure baffle 32 is set on the outer side (i.e., the left side). Figure 1 The pressure baffle 32 (from its side) swings close to the inner wall of the washing tub 2 to prevent clothes from getting stuck in the gap between the pressure baffle 32 and the inner wall of the washing tub 2, and to prevent clothes from getting tangled on the top of the pressure baffle 32 or the fixed baffle 31, thus affecting the washing process. Specifically, "inner side" refers to the side closer to the center of the washing tub 2, and "outer side" refers to the side away from the center of the washing tub 2 and closer to the inner wall of the washing tub 2.

[0034] See also Figure 4 And continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 This is a front structural schematic diagram of the fixing partition 31 of the water-pressing assembly 3 of the washing equipment of the present invention. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, preferably, the water-passing structure 311 includes a plurality of water-passing holes that are disposed through the fixed partition 31 along the thickness direction of the fixed partition 31. Exemplarily, the plurality of water-passing holes includes a first gathering portion 3111 and a second gathering portion 3112 that are spaced apart. The two gathering portions are respectively distributed with a plurality of water-passing holes, and the first gathering portion 3111 contains more water-passing holes than the second gathering portion 3112 contains. This is so that by setting the distribution mode of the water-passing holes, the spray area of ​​the impact water flow is distributed in a non-uniform manner, thereby making the impact force acting on the clothes different, increasing the probability of clothes turning over, increasing the number of times clothes are turned over, and at the same time increasing the turbulence of the washing water in the clothes loading area, thereby improving the friction washing effect between the clothes and the washing water.

[0035] More specifically, the aforementioned first gathering portion 3111 and second gathering portion 3112 can each be provided in multiple locations, and the number of water passage holes among the multiple first gathering portions 3111 or multiple second gathering portions 3112 can be the same or different, as long as the number of water passage holes in the second gathering portion 3112 is less than the number of water passage holes in the first gathering portion 3111. For example, when there are two first gathering portions 3111 containing 6 and 9 water passage holes respectively, the number of water passage holes in each second gathering portion 3112 should not exceed 6. For example, according to... Figure 4 The directions are shown. Figure 4 The lower left side of the water-passing baffle is provided with a first gathering part 3111 containing 9 water-passing holes. Figure 4 The lower right side, upper right side, and upper left side of the water-passing baffle are each provided with a second gathering portion 3112, which contains 2, 1, and 3 water-passing holes respectively. Of course, the arrangement of the water-passing structure 311 to enhance the tumbling force of the impact water flow on the clothes is not limited to the above-mentioned non-uniform distribution example. For example, the water-passing holes can also be inclined so that the water-passing holes impact the clothes at an angle to increase the probability of the clothes tumbling.

[0036] As an example, the aforementioned drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41 and a transmission shaft 42 connected to the drive motor 41. The drive motor 41 is located at the bottom of the washing tub 2, and a mounting hole is provided through the center of the bottom of the washing tub 2. One end of the transmission shaft 42 is connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor 41, and the other end extends into the interior of the washing tub 2 through the mounting hole and is connected to the bottom left side of the pressure baffle 32, so as to transmit the torque of the drive motor 41 to the pressure baffle 32. The forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor 41 drives the pressure baffle 32 to swing alternately forward and reverse.

[0037] Furthermore, a reinforcing structure 321 is preferably provided on the inner side of the pressure baffle 32 (i.e., the side closest to the center of the washing tub 2). This reinforcing structure 321 extends along the length of the inner side of the pressure baffle 32 to enhance the strength of the pressure baffle 32 at the torque-bearing position. For example, the reinforcing structure 321 is a reinforcing cylinder provided on the inner side of the pressure baffle 32, so as to prevent interference between the inner side of the pressure baffle 32 and the fixed baffle 31 when the inner side rotates, while ensuring that the inner side of the pressure baffle 32 is as close as possible to the fixed baffle 31, thereby preventing clothes from getting stuck in the gap between the two baffles.

[0038] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-mentioned drive component 4 is not limited to a direct drive structure of drive motor 41 and transmission shaft 42. For example, drive component 4 may also include transmission gears or linkage mechanisms, as long as the specific transmission scheme of drive component 4 can realize the reciprocating swing of water pressure baffle 32 relative to fixed baffle 31.

[0039] Continue reading Figure 1 For any of the aforementioned laundry devices, the laundry device of the present invention preferably further includes a clean water tank 5 and a wastewater tank 6. The clean water tank 5 is provided with an opening allowing washing water to enter, so as to store the washing water used during the washing process. The clean water tank 5 is connected to the washing tub 2 via a water inlet pipe 51, and the water inlet pipe 51 is provided with a water inlet valve, so as to connect the water inlet pipe 51 to add washing water into the washing tub 2 during washing or rinsing. The wastewater tank 6 is provided with an opening allowing washing water to drain, and the wastewater tank 6 is connected to the washing tub 2 via a drain pipe 61, and the drain pipe 61 is provided with a drain valve, so that the used washing water in the washing tub 2 can be discharged into the wastewater tank 6 for temporary storage. The openings of the water tank 5 and the wastewater tank 6 can be fitted with covers so that users can open the covers when adding washing water to the water tank 5 or pouring out the washing water from the wastewater tank 6. In other usage states, the covers of the water tank 5 and the wastewater tank 6 should be closed to prevent the washing water in the water tank 5 from being contaminated by dust and to prevent the washing water in the wastewater tank 6 from evaporating and reducing the sanitary conditions of the internal environment of the tank 1.

[0040] Furthermore, the aforementioned wastewater tank 6 is detachably installed inside the tank body 1. The wastewater tank 6 is equipped with a water inlet pipe 51, and the outlet end of the drain pipe 61 is detachably connected to the water inlet pipe 51, allowing the user to remove the wastewater tank 6 from the tank body 1 to empty the washing water inside. To prevent leakage from the water inlet pipe 51 after disassembling the wastewater tank 6, the water inlet pipe 51 can be positioned above the highest water level, or a one-way valve can be installed inside the water inlet pipe 51 to prevent water from flowing out of the inlet pipe 51.

[0041] As an example, when the wastewater tank 6 is located below the other components of the washing equipment, such as below the clean water tank 5, an installation port can be provided on the side wall of the tank body 1 to allow the wastewater tank 6 to pass through. This allows the user to detach or reattach the wastewater tank 6 to the drain pipe 61 and remove or replace the wastewater tank 6 through this installation port. A cover plate can be installed at this installation port location using a pivot connection or a snap-fit ​​method, allowing the installation port to be opened or closed. Alternatively, the wastewater tank 6 can be located at the top of the tank body 1, allowing it to enter and exit the tank body 1 through the discharge port, enabling the user to open the door to retrieve or remove clothing or disassemble the wastewater tank 6 to drain water.

[0042] Alternatively, when the sewage tank 6 is fixed inside the tank body 1, a drain hose is connected to the sewage tank 6. The drain hose is constricted on the outer wall of the tank body 1, the bottom of the tank body 1, or inside the tank body 1 when not draining, and is released when draining to achieve drainage.

[0043] With the above settings, the washing equipment does not need to have 51 water inlet pipes connected to external water sources and 61 drain pipes connected to sewers. This means that the placement of the washing equipment is not restricted by the location of external water sources and drain outlets, greatly improving the adaptability of the washing equipment to the installation environment.

[0044] Those skilled in the art will understand that although the fixed partition 31 and the pressure partition 32 of the water-pressing assembly 3 of the washing equipment of the present invention are described as being combined with a single plate, this is not a limitation. The number of plates included in the fixed partition 31 and the pressure partition 32 can be set according to the arrangement environment inside the washing tub 2 and the water-pressing requirements. For example, the fixed partition 31 can also be radially arranged inside the washing tub 2 with its two sides respectively connected to the inner wall of the washing tub 2. In this case, the pressure partition 32 can include two plates, which are pivotally connected to one side of the fixed partition 31. The side of the fixed partition 31 away from the pressure partition 32 is used for loading clothes. The above-mentioned arrangement and connection position of the water-pressing assembly 3 are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
