[0002] Currently, most washing machines on the market use a non-detachable hard barrel to wash textiles. The hard barrel washes textiles through a pulsator or drum. This traditional washing machine is large in size and takes up a lot of space. In addition, the non-detachable barrel has a fixed capacity, making it difficult to adjust the working space and impossible to replace the barrel as needed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a flexible bag body which can realize the adjustment of the working space and better adapt to the working environment.
[0004] The invention discloses a flexible bag body, comprising a flexible bag body, an opening for taking out laundry, and a stirring device and a docking port.
[0005] The flexible bag allows for easy retraction as needed, minimizing space after use. The bag features an internal agitation mechanism and is made of flexible material. During the agitation wash process, the bag moves with the laundry, improving the cleaning efficiency and providing soft contact with the laundry, preventing damage.
[0006] Furthermore, the stirring device is arranged at any position in the flexible bag body, and the stirring function is realized by a driving device, and the driving device is arranged inside the stirring device or outside the flexible bag body.
[0007] Furthermore, the stirring device is located at the bottom or side wall of the flexible bag body.
[0008] Furthermore, the docking port is an inlet hole and an outlet hole.
[0009] The inlet hole and the outlet hole can be the same pipe mouth, connected to the water inlet and outlet device, the air extraction and injection device, and the drying device outside the bag body; or, the inlet hole and the outlet hole are both connected to the water inlet and outlet device, the air extraction and injection device, and the inlet hole is also connected to the drying device, water is allowed in, hot air is blown in, and air is injected through the inlet hole, and water is discharged and air is extracted through the outlet hole.
[0010] Water is added or drained into the flexible bag through the water inlet and outlet device, air is pumped out of the flexible bag through the air pumping and injection device, the bag and the laundry are squeezed to achieve the dehydration function, and the laundry in the bag is dried through the drying device.
[0011] Furthermore, the opening is connected to a sealing mechanism for sealing the flexible bag body.
[0012] Furthermore, the sealing mechanism is a sealing zipper, an open ring, a sealing strip or a concave-convex buckle structure.
[0013] Furthermore, the sealing mechanism is a sealing cover.
[0014] Furthermore, the sealing cover includes a cover body and a fixing frame, the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the flexible bag body, the fixing frame is used to support the flexible bag body, the cover body is located on the fixing frame, and a sealing ring is provided between the cover body and the fixing frame.
[0015] By providing a cover and a fixing frame, the cover can be opened or closed by flipping, sliding, etc., and by providing a sealing ring, the sealing ring is pressed when the cover is closed to achieve sealing of the flexible bag.
[0016] Furthermore, the fixing frame and the cover body are respectively provided with magnetic components.
[0017] The magnetic attraction component is provided to facilitate closing of the cover.
[0018] Furthermore, a snap-fit structure is provided on the cover body and the fixing frame.
[0019] Furthermore, a pressing structure is provided on the fixing frame.
[0020] By providing the pressing structure, when the flexible bag body is installed on the washing machine body, the pressing structure presses the cover body to achieve sealing of the flexible bag body.
[0021] Furthermore, the docking port is provided on the cover body.
[0022] Furthermore, a space compensation structure is provided on a side of the cover body facing the flexible bag body.
[0023] By providing the space compensation structure, it is possible to avoid the flexible bag body being pulled on the cover body and causing damage to the flexible bag body when the flexible bag body is evacuated.
[0024] Furthermore, the space compensation structure includes a flexible multi-layer folding structure, and the cover body is provided with air holes.
[0025] By setting the space compensation structure between the cover body and the flexible bag body, when the flexible bag body is evacuated, the air in the bag body is extracted out of the bag body by the air extraction device, and the space compensation structure expands toward the bag body due to the air extraction. Air holes are opened on the cover body. When the space compensation structure expands to fill the bag body space, the part between the space compensation structure and the cover body is connected to the outside world through the air holes, so that the multi-layer folding structure can expand into the flexible bag body and fill part of the bag body space, thereby avoiding the bag body being deformed due to air extraction and pulling the cover body to cause damage to the flexible bag body.
[0026] Furthermore, the multi-layer folding structure is fixed on the cover body at all sides.
[0027] By fixing the periphery of the multi-layer folding structure on the cover body, the middle part of the multi-layer folding structure is unfolded toward the bag body when air is pumped out.
[0028] Furthermore, the multi-layer folding structure is a “U”-shaped folding structure.
[0029] Furthermore, the multi-layer folding structure presents a structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom when unfolded.
[0030] By setting up a multi-layer folding structure, the structure is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom when unfolded, and the multi-layer structure can be retracted into a plane when folded, taking up less space.
[0031] Furthermore, a fixing piece is provided at the center of the multi-layer folding structure.
[0032] By setting a fixing part in the center of the multi-layer folding structure, the four sides and the center of the multi-layer folding structure are fixedly connected to the cover body, avoiding the soft collapse of the flexible space compensation structure, which causes the central part to sink and affect the appearance. When air is pumped out, the four sides and the central part of the space compensation structure are fixed, and the remaining parts sink and expand to fill the space inside the bag.
[0033] Furthermore, a return mechanism is provided between the cover body and the space compensation structure.
[0034] By providing a return mechanism, when the space compensation structure is over-expanded and cannot be naturally retracted, the space compensation structure retracts to a folded state under the pulling force of the return mechanism.
[0035] Furthermore, the return mechanism is a spring or an elastic rope.
[0036] Furthermore, a fixing plate is provided on the flexible bag body.
[0037] By arranging the fixing plate, the flexible bag body can be supported, so that the space inside the flexible bag body remains relatively fixed, which is convenient for cleaning and drying.
[0038] Furthermore, the stirring device is arranged on the flexible bag body.
[0039] Furthermore, the stirring device is arranged on the fixed plate.
[0040] By arranging the fixing plate, stable support can be provided for the stirring device, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the stirring device.
[0041] Furthermore, the fixing plate and the fixing frame are detachably connected.
[0042] Furthermore, the docking port is arranged on the fixing plate.
[0043] Furthermore, the docking port is provided on the flexible bag body.
[0044] Furthermore, the flexible bag body is detachably connected to the fixing plate.
[0045] Furthermore, a rotating mechanism is provided between the sealing mechanism and the fixing plate.
[0046] By providing a rotating mechanism, when the flexible bag is not in use, the cover can be rotated around the rotating mechanism toward the fixed plate, so that the cover, the fixed plate and the flexible bag are folded together for easy storage.
[0047] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating member, a rotating shaft and a torsion spring, the torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft passes through the fixed plate and is connected to the bottom end of the rotating member, and the top end of the rotating member is fixedly connected to the fixed frame.
[0048] By sleeved the torsion spring on the rotating shaft, when the flexible bag is used, the torsion spring fixes the fixed frame and the fixed plate in the expanded position; when the sealed bag is evacuated, the flexible bag pulls the cover, and the cover can rotate around the rotating mechanism, thereby avoiding damage to the flexible bag caused by the flexible bag pulling the cover during evacuation.
[0049] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating part, a rotating shaft, a roller, and a rotating groove and a fixed position arranged on the fixed plate; the rotating shaft passes through the fixed plate and is connected to the bottom end of the rotating part, and the top end of the rotating part is fixedly connected to the fixed frame; the roller includes a ball at the top, the ball is connected to one end of an elastic shaft, and the other end of the shaft is connected to the rotating part.
[0050] When in use, the roller moves to a fixed position, and the cover body and the fixing plate are in an unfolded state. In the absence of external force, the ball cannot slide in the fixed position, so that the cover body and the fixing plate are locked in the unfolded position; when the cover body / fixing plate is turned over, the ball compresses the elastic shaft under external force and slides out of the fixed position. When it slides to the vicinity of the rotating groove, it enters the rotating groove under the elastic force of the elastic shaft and slides in the rotating groove as the cover body / fixing plate turns over; when the cover body and the fixing plate are folded together, the ball slides into the bottom end of the rotating groove; and when the sealed bag is evacuated, the flexible bag pulls the cover body, and the cover body can rotate around the rotating mechanism, thereby preventing the flexible bag from pulling the cover body during evacuation and causing damage to the flexible bag;
[0051] The roller structure is adopted, and there is no torsion spring or other components at the rotating shaft. When folding the flexible bag body, there is no need to overcome the force from the torsion spring. Therefore, this embodiment can fold the flexible bag body more easily.
[0052] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating part, a rotating shaft, a latch, and an elastic part; the rotating shaft passes through the fixed plate and is connected to the rotating part; the latch is arranged at the top of the fixed plate, and a clearance hole is provided on the rotating part, and one end of the latch extends out of the fixed plate and is inserted into the clearance hole.
[0053] Furthermore, one end of the latch pin inserted into the clearance hole is an inclined surface, and a locking space matching the inclined surface of the latch pin is provided in the clearance hole.
[0054] By setting a locking space, the top end of the inclined surface of the latch can be inserted, thereby limiting the latch to be inserted into the clearance hole at two fixed positions: the flexible bag body is in the unfolded state and the flexible bag body is in the folded state; when the latch is rotated to other angles in the clearance hole, the inclined surface cannot be inserted into the locking space, so the latch cannot be fully inserted into the clearance hole.
[0055] Furthermore, there are two latches and two clearance holes.
[0056] Furthermore, the latch includes a first latch and a second latch, the first latch and the second latch are connected by an elastic member, and the other ends of the first latch and the second latch are respectively inserted into the first clearance hole and the second clearance hole of the rotating member; a cover plate is provided on the elastic member so that the elastic member can only be deformed under the cover plate; two latches are symmetrically arranged at the top of the fixed plate, so that when the latch is turned to rotate the cover body / fixed plate, the force on the left and right is more even, and the folding / unfolding process is smoother.
[0057] When the flexible bag needs to be folded / unfolded, the latch is moved so that the top inclined surface of the latch leaves the locking space in the clearance hole. After being freed from the locking space restriction, the cover body / fixing plate can rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby folding / unfolding the flexible bag;
[0058] In another embodiment, only one latch may be provided, and correspondingly, only one clearance hole may be provided on the rotating member.
[0059] Furthermore, the sealing mechanism and the fixing plate are respectively provided with locking mechanisms.
[0060] By providing a locking mechanism, when the flexible bag body is stored, the cover body, the fixing plate and the bag body can be kept in a folded state through the locking mechanism.
[0061] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a male buckle on the cover body and a female buckle on the fixing plate.
[0062] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a locking rope provided on the cover body and a locking ring provided on the fixing plate. The locking rope is tied to the locking ring to keep the flexible bag body in a folded state.
[0063] When the flexible bag needs to be used, the locking mechanism is opened, and the cover and the fixing plate are unfolded under the action of the rotating mechanism; the torsion spring structure is adopted, and when the flexible bag needs to be unfolded, only the locking mechanism cover and the fixing plate need to be opened and they can be unfolded into place by themselves.
[0064] Furthermore, the inner wall and / or bottom of the flexible bag is provided with auxiliary kneading components for assisting in kneading the laundry.
[0065] By providing the auxiliary rubbing component, the laundry can be rubbed better to ensure the cleaning effect.
[0066] Furthermore, the auxiliary kneading components are convex strips and / or convex dots.
[0067] Furthermore, when the auxiliary kneading components are convex strips and convex dots, the convex strips and the convex dots are arranged alternately.
[0068] Furthermore, when the auxiliary kneading component is perpendicular to the moving direction of the laundry.
[0069] When the agitating device is located on the side wall of the flexible bag, it flips the laundry, causing it to rub against the inner wall of the flexible bag from top to bottom and from left to right. During the flipping process, the laundry's movement is perpendicular to the ridges on the side wall. Once the laundry reaches the bottom of the flexible bag, it follows the agitating device and moves from the left to the right, perpendicular to the ridges on the bottom. Providing ridges perpendicular to the direction of laundry movement increases friction between the ridges and the laundry, improving the rubbing cleaning effect.
[0070] Furthermore, the auxiliary kneading components are grooves and / or concave blocks.
[0071] Furthermore, the flexible bag body is made of transparent or translucent material.
[0072] By setting the flexible bag body to be a transparent or translucent material, it is convenient for the user to observe the washing status in the bag body.
[0073] Furthermore, the flexible bag or the fixed plate is provided with an identification and pairing device. (The flexible bag or the fixed plate is provided with an identification and pairing device that matches the identification and pairing system on the host. Such as NFC, RFID, magnetic stickers, contact switches, etc. When the flexible bag contacts the washing machine body, automatic pairing and identification are performed, allowing the control system in the host to determine the number of times the flexible bag has been used and user information based on the identification information.)
[0074] By setting up an identification and pairing device, the number of times the bag has been used / user and other information can be identified; based on the identified number of uses, its service life can be judged, and the user can be reminded whether the flexible bag needs to be replaced; based on the identified user information, the type of laundry in the flexible bag can be determined, so that different detergents can be added or different washing programs can be started.
[0075] Furthermore, the stirring device is connected to a driving device, and the driving device and the stirring device are detachably connected.
[0076] By arranging the driving device and the stirring device to be detachably connected, the driving device can be removed and placed in a flexible bag for easy carrying when not in use.
[0077] The driving device is disposed in the flexible bag body, and the driving device can be a battery pack. The battery pack and the stirring device are detachably connected. The driving device and the stirring device are directly placed in the flexible bag body. The driving device drives the stirring device to rotate, stirs the water flow in the flexible bag body, turns the laundry, and utilizes the friction between the water flow and the inner wall of the bag body to clean the laundry. When the battery pack is used up, the bag can be replaced and continued to be used. The present embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to carry.
[0078] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0079] 1. By providing a flexible bag body, the bag body can be easily rolled up as needed, and it takes up little space after use;
[0080] 2. The bag is equipped with an internal stirring device and is made of flexible material. During the washing and drying process, it can move with the laundry, improving the cleaning ratio and drying efficiency. It also provides soft contact with the laundry, which is not easy to damage the laundry.
[0081] 3. The water inlet and outlet ports can be connected to the water inlet and outlet devices to add water or drain water into the flexible bag. The air inlet and outlet ports can be connected to the air extraction and injection devices. The air is extracted from the flexible bag through the air extraction and injection devices, squeezing the flexible bag and the laundry to achieve the dehydration function. The centrifugal dehydration method is not used, thus avoiding the vibration of the washing machine and reducing the noise.
[0082] 4. The bag is sealed by setting a sealing mechanism. The laundry only contacts the bag, stirring device and cover. The bag is easy to clean and has no dead corners for dirt to hide.
[0083] 5. By setting a sealing ring, the sealing ring is pressed tightly when the cover is closed to achieve the sealing of the flexible bag;
[0084] 6. By setting up a space compensation structure, it is possible to avoid the flexible bag body pulling the cover body and causing damage to the flexible bag body when the flexible bag body is evacuated;
[0085] 7. By setting up a fixed plate, it can provide stable support for the stirring device and ensure the normal operation of the stirring device;
[0086] 8. By setting up a rotating mechanism, when the flexible bag is not in use, the cover can be rotated around the rotating mechanism toward the fixed plate, so that the cover, fixed plate and flexible bag are folded together for easy storage;

When there is no external force, the ball 18 cannot slide in the fixed position 17, so that the cover body 6 and the fixing plate 11 are locked in the unfolded position; when the cover body 6 / fixing plate 11 is turned over, the ball 18 compresses the elastic shaft 19 under the external force and slides out of the fixed position 17. When it slides to the vicinity of the rotating groove 16, the ball 18 enters the rotating groove 16 under the elastic force of the elastic shaft 19 and slides in the rotating groove 16 as the cover body 6 / fixing plate 11 is turned over; when the cover body 6 and the fixing plate 11 are folded together, the ball 18 slides into the bottom end of the rotating groove 16; and when the sealed bag is evacuated, the flexible bag body 1 pulls the cover body 6, and the cover body 6 can rotate around the rotating mechanism 12, thereby preventing the flexible bag body 1 from being pulled by the cover body 6 during evacuation, causing damage to the flexible bag body 1;
[0144] The roller structure is adopted, and there is no torsion spring 15 or other components at the rotating shaft 14. When the flexible bag body 1 is folded, there is no need to overcome the force from the torsion spring 15. Therefore, this embodiment can more easily fold the flexible bag body 1.
[0145] Example 12
[0146] In this embodiment as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the specific structure is as follows Figure 2 Figure 10 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, it discloses the following improvements on the basis of embodiment 9, the rotating mechanism 12 includes a rotating member 13, a rotating shaft 14, a latch 20, and an elastic member 21; the rotating shaft 14 passes through the fixed plate 11 and is connected to the rotating member 13; the latch 20 is arranged at the top of the fixed plate 11, and a clearance hole 31 is provided on the rotating member 13, and one end of the latch 20 extends out of the fixed plate 11 and is inserted into the clearance hole 31; the end of the latch 20 inserted into the clearance hole 31 is an inclined surface, and a locking space 22 matching the inclined surface of the latch 20 is provided in the position hole, the number of the latch 20 is two, and the number of the clearance holes 31 is two, the latch 20 includes a first latch 23 and a second latch 24, the first latch 23 and the second latch 24 are connected by the elastic member 21, the other ends of the first latch 23 and the second latch 24 are respectively inserted into the first clearance hole and the second clearance hole of the rotating member 13, and a cover plate 25 is provided on the elastic member 21.
[0147] By providing the locking space 22, the top of the inclined surface of the latch 20 can be inserted, thereby limiting the latch 20 to be inserted into the clearance hole 31 only in the two fixed positions 17 of the flexible bag body 1 in the unfolded state and the folded state. When the latch 20 is rotated to other angles in the clearance hole 31, the inclined surface cannot be inserted into the locking space 22, so that the latch 20 cannot be fully inserted into the clearance hole 31.
[0148] By providing the cover plate 25 , the elastic member 21 can only be deformed under the cover plate 25 .
[0149] By symmetrically arranging two latches 20 at the top of the fixing plate 11, when the latches 20 are turned to rotate the cover 6 / fixing plate 11, the left and right forces are more evenly distributed, and the folding / unfolding process is smoother.
[0150] When the flexible bag 1 needs to be folded / unfolded, the latch 20 is moved so that the top inclined surface of the latch 20 leaves the locking space 22 in the clearance hole 31. After being freed from the locking space 22, the cover 6 / fixing plate 11 can rotate around the rotation axis 14, thereby folding / unfolding the flexible bag 1.
[0151] Example 13
