Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Washing machines are machines that use electric power to generate mechanical force to clean clothes. For clothes such as shirts, the collar and cuffs are generally dirtier than other areas. However, existing washing machines are not very effective at cleaning these areas during the washing process.

[0003] In existing technologies, ultrasonic washing is often required to achieve the desired result by adding an ultrasonic washing function to the washing machine.

[0004] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. CN200520069251.1 discloses a washing machine with a local ultrasonic washing device, including a washing machine body and an ultrasonic washing device. The ultrasonic washing device consists of an ultrasonic generator, a transducer, a device housing, and a transducer base. The ultrasonic generator is installed in a computer board and connected to the transducer. The transducer is installed on the base inside the device housing and is pressed down by a cover plate. The ultrasonic washing device is fixed by a positioning support and is installed at the rear of the washing machine's worktable via the positioning support.

[0005] Chinese patent application number CN2017101131757 discloses a partial cleaning structure for clothing and a washing machine. The partial cleaning structure for clothing is detachably mounted on the washing machine tray and connected to the washing machine's water inlet / detergent box. The partial cleaning structure for clothing includes a pressure plate and a support plate. The pressure plate includes an ultrasonic transducer, and the support plate includes a water inlet cavity. The shape of the pressure plate matches the support plate. After being pressed towards the support plate, a narrow slit is formed between them to clamp the part of the clothing to be washed, clamping the clothing and ultrasonically cleaning the part to be washed.

[0006] While the above solution addresses the issue of washing machines being unable to clean heavily soiled areas to some extent, adding ultrasonic washing to the washing machine undoubtedly increases its cost and reduces its market competitiveness.

[0007] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a washing machine that, by setting a detergent dispensing device and a water outlet component that spray detergent and water respectively on the tray base, and controlling whether the device is activated by a detection device, allows the process of wetting clothes and adding detergent to be carried out alternately during the local cleaning process, thereby improving the cleaning effect on local areas.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0010] A washing machine includes a tray base having a clothes loading port; and further includes:

[0011] A detergent dispensing device, connected to the tray base, is used to spray detergent into the clothing dispensing port;

[0012] A water outlet assembly, connected to the tray base, is used to spray water onto the clothing inlet;

[0013] The detection device is configured to generate an activation signal to start the detergent dispensing device or the water outlet assembly when a signal indicating that the laundry is approaching is detected, and to generate a deactivation signal to shut down the detergent dispensing device or the water outlet assembly when no signal indicating that the laundry is approaching is detected.

[0014] Furthermore, the detection device sequentially generates a start signal to activate the water outlet component or the detergent dispensing device and a shut-off signal to deactivate the water outlet component or the detergent dispensing device as the number of detections increases.

[0015] Furthermore, the detection device includes:

[0016] The first detection unit is configured to generate a start signal to activate the detergent dispensing device when a signal indicating that the laundry is approaching is detected, and to generate a shut-off signal to deactivate the detergent dispensing device when no signal indicating that the laundry is approaching is detected.

[0017] The second detection unit is configured to generate a start signal to activate the water outlet component when a signal indicating that the laundry is approaching is detected, and to generate a stop signal to deactivate the water outlet component when no signal indicating that the laundry is approaching is detected.

[0018] Furthermore, the detection device is any one of the following:

[0019] Infrared sensing unit, voice recognition module, position sensor.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0021] A control panel is mounted on the tray base. The control panel is equipped with control buttons, which are configured to control whether the detection device generates a start signal to activate the detergent dispensing device or the water outlet assembly.

[0022] Furthermore, the detergent dispensing device is a foam-type detergent dispensing device.

[0023] Furthermore, the detergent dispensing device includes:

[0024] A liquid storage bottle is disposed within the tray base;

[0025] The liquid outlet pipe is located on the side wall of the clothing inlet;

[0026] Foam generating device, including:

[0029] A gas pump, one end of which is connected to the outside atmosphere, and the other end of which is connected to the gas-liquid mixing chamber;

[0030] A drive mechanism for driving the liquid pump and the gas pump is configured to receive a signal to start / stop the detergent dispensing device.

[0031] Furthermore, an opening is provided on the side wall of the clothing inlet, through which the liquid outlet pipe and the water outlet pipe of the water outlet assembly are housed in the tray or extend out of the side wall of the clothing inlet.

[0032] Furthermore, the opening is provided with a pivotally connected cover.

[0033] When the cover is closed, the outer wall of the cover forms the side wall of the clothing loading port;

[0034] With the cover open, the liquid outlet pipe and the water outlet pipe of the water outlet assembly extend out of the side wall of the clothing inlet and spray out detergent and water.

[0035] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0036] The housing, with the tray positioned above the housing;

[0050] It should be noted that these accompanying drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0051] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0052] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0053] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, 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. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a washing machine, including a housing 1, a tub assembly disposed inside the housing 1, and a tray base 2 disposed on the top of the housing 1. The tray base 2 has a clothes inlet 3, which corresponds to the top opening of the tub assembly, and the tray base 2 is also provided with a cover 9 for opening and closing the clothes inlet 3.

[0055] The washing machine also includes a detergent dispensing device 4 and a water inlet assembly 5. The detergent dispensing device 4 is connected to the tray 2 and is used to spray detergent into the clothes inlet 3. The water inlet assembly is connected to the tray 2 and is used to spray water into the clothes inlet 3.

[0056] It is evident that the detergent dispensing device 4 and water outlet assembly 5 described above differ from the detergent dispensing device 4 and water inlet assembly provided on conventional washing machines for dispensing detergent into the drum assembly.

[0057] The detergent dispensing device 4 and the water outlet assembly 5 are not controlled by the washing machine's preset washing program, but are controlled by the detection device 6.

[0058] The washing machine also includes a detection device 6, which is configured to generate a start signal to activate the detergent dispensing device 4 or the water outlet assembly 5 after detecting a signal that the laundry 10 is approaching, and to generate a stop signal to deactivate the detergent dispensing device 4 or the water outlet assembly 5 after not detecting a signal that the laundry 10 is approaching.

[0059] The above solution involves setting a detergent dispensing device 4 and a water outlet component 5 on the base 2, respectively, and controlling whether they are activated by a detection device 6. During the local cleaning process, the process of wetting clothes and adding detergent can be carried out alternately, thereby improving the cleaning effect on local areas.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the detection device 6 generates a start signal to activate the water outlet component 5 or the detergent dispensing device 4 in turn as the number of detections increases.

[0061] The detection device 6 sequentially generates a start signal to activate the water outlet component 5, a stop signal to deactivate the water outlet component 5, a start signal to activate the detergent dispensing device 4, and a stop signal to deactivate the detergent dispensing device 4.

[0062] In detail, during use, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the detection device 6 detects the laundry 10 approaching, it generates a start signal to activate the water outlet assembly 5 and sends the start signal to the water outlet assembly 5. Upon receiving the start signal, the water outlet assembly 5 sprays water into the laundry inlet 3 to wet the laundry 10. When the user determines that the laundry is thoroughly wet, they move the laundry out of the detection range of the detection device 6. When the detection device 6 no longer detects the approaching laundry, it generates a stop signal to shut off the water outlet assembly 5 and sends the stop signal to the water outlet assembly 5. Upon receiving the stop signal, the water outlet assembly 5 stops spraying water into the laundry inlet 3. Figure 1 As shown, when the detection device 6 detects the laundry 10 approaching again, it generates a start signal to activate the detergent dispensing device 4 and sends the start signal to the detergent dispensing device 4. Upon receiving the start signal, the detergent dispensing device 4 sprays detergent into the laundry dispensing port 3, applying it to the laundry 10. When the user determines that an appropriate amount of detergent has been sprayed, the user moves the laundry away from the detection range of the detection device 6. After the detection device 6 no longer detects the laundry approaching, it generates a stop signal to shut off the detergent dispensing device 4 and sends the stop signal to the detergent dispensing device. Upon receiving the stop signal, the detergent dispensing device 4 stops spraying detergent into the laundry dispensing port 3.

[0063] Thus, as Figure 3 As shown, the garment 10 to be washed is wetted and coated with detergent. After the user rubs the garment 10 and visually assesses that the stains have been removed, the user brings the garment 10 close to the detection device 6 again. When the detection device 6 detects the garment 10 approaching, it generates a start signal to activate the water outlet assembly 5 and sends the start signal to the water outlet assembly 5. Upon receiving the start signal, the water outlet assembly 5 sprays water into the garment inlet 3 to rinse the detergent foam off the garment 10.

[0064] After the detergent foam is rinsed off, the user visually inspects whether the stains on the laundry 10 have been cleaned. If clean, the user moves the laundry away from the detection range of the detection device 6. Once the detection device 6 no longer detects the laundry approaching, it generates a shut-off signal to shut off the water outlet assembly 5 and sends this signal to the assembly. Upon receiving the shut-off signal, the water outlet assembly 5 stops spraying water into the laundry inlet 3, and the user places the laundry 10 into the tub assembly. If the laundry is still not clean, the user can bring the laundry close to the detection device 6 again. When the detection device 6 detects the laundry 10 approaching again, it generates a start signal to activate the detergent dispensing device 4 and sends this signal to the device. Upon receiving the start signal, the detergent dispensing device 4 sprays detergent into the laundry inlet 3, applying it to the laundry 10. When the user determines that an appropriate amount of detergent has been sprayed, the user moves the clothes away from the detection range of the detection device 6. After the detection device 6 no longer detects the signal of the clothes approaching, it generates a shutdown signal to shut down the detergent dispensing device 4 and sends the shutdown signal to the detergent dispensing device. After receiving the shutdown signal, the detergent dispensing device 4 stops spraying detergent into the clothes dispensing port 3.

[0065] Users can control whether clothes are close to the detection device 6 according to the actual situation, so that the spray water and the spray detergent alternate, improving the cleaning effect on local areas.

[0066] In the above scheme, only one detection device 6 is needed to control the water outlet component 5 and the detergent dispensing device 4, reducing the number of washing machine parts, simplifying the assembly relationship, and saving equipment costs.

[0067] In terms of location, the detection device 6 can be set in the intersection area controlled by the water outlet component 5 and the washing dispensing device.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, the detection device 6 includes a first detection unit and a second detection unit.

[0069] The first detection unit is configured to generate a start signal to activate the detergent dispensing device 4 when a signal indicating that the laundry 10 is approaching is detected, and to generate a stop signal to deactivate the detergent dispensing device 4 when no signal indicating that the laundry 10 is approaching is detected.

[0070] The second detection unit is configured to generate a start signal to activate the water outlet component 5 when a signal indicating that the laundry 10 is approaching is detected, and to generate a stop signal to deactivate the water outlet component 5 when no signal indicating that the laundry 10 is approaching is detected.

[0071] In detail, during use, when the second detection unit detects the approach of the garment 10 to be washed, it generates a start signal to activate the water outlet component 5 and sends the start signal to the water outlet component 5. Upon receiving the start signal, the water outlet component 5 sprays water into the garment inlet 3 to wet the garment 10. When the user determines that the garment is thoroughly wet, the user moves the garment out of the detection range of the second detection unit. After the second detection unit no longer detects the approach of the garment, it generates a stop signal to shut off the water outlet component 5 and sends the stop signal to the water outlet component 5. Upon receiving the stop signal, the water outlet component 5 stops spraying water into the garment inlet 3. When the first detection unit detects the approach of the garment 10 to be washed, it generates a start signal to activate the detergent dispensing device 4 and sends the start signal to the detergent dispensing device 4. Upon receiving the start signal, the detergent dispensing device 4 sprays detergent into the garment inlet 3 and applies it to the garment 10. When the user determines that an appropriate amount of detergent has been sprayed, the user moves the clothes away from the detection range of the first detection unit. After the first detection unit no longer detects the signal of the clothes approaching, it generates a shutdown signal to shut down the detergent dispensing device 4 and sends the shutdown signal to the detergent dispensing device. After receiving the shutdown signal, the detergent dispensing device 4 stops spraying detergent into the clothes dispensing port 3.

[0072] At this point, the garment 10 is wetted and coated with detergent. After the user rubs the garment 10 and visually assesses that the stains have been removed, the user brings the garment 10 close to the second detection unit again. When the second detection unit detects the garment 10 approaching, it generates a start signal to activate the water outlet assembly 5 and sends the signal to the assembly. Upon receiving the start signal, the water outlet assembly 5 sprays water into the garment inlet 3, rinsing the detergent foam off the garment 10.

[0073] After the detergent foam is rinsed off, the user visually inspects whether the stains on the laundry 10 have been cleaned. If clean, the user moves the laundry out of the detection range of the second detection unit. Once the second detection unit no longer detects the laundry approaching, it generates a shut-off signal to shut off the water outlet assembly 5 and sends this signal to the assembly. Upon receiving the shut-off signal, the water outlet assembly 5 stops spraying water into the laundry inlet 3, and the user places the laundry 10 into the tub assembly. If the laundry is still not clean, the user can bring the laundry close to the first detection unit again. When the first detection unit detects the laundry 10 approaching, it generates a start signal to activate the detergent dispensing device 4 and sends this signal to the device. Upon receiving the start signal, the detergent dispensing device 4 sprays detergent into the laundry inlet 3, applying it to the laundry 10. When the user determines that an appropriate amount of detergent has been sprayed, the user moves the clothes away from the detection range of the first detection unit. After the first detection unit no longer detects the signal of the clothes approaching, it generates a shutdown signal to shut down the detergent dispensing device 4 and sends the shutdown signal to the detergent dispensing device. After receiving the shutdown signal, the detergent dispensing device 4 stops spraying detergent into the clothes dispensing port 3.

[0074] Users can control whether the clothes are close to the first and second detection units according to the actual situation, so that the spray water and the spray detergent alternate, improving the cleaning effect on local areas.

[0075] In the above scheme, two detection units are set up to control the water outlet component 5 and the detergent dispensing device 4 separately, which improves the flexibility of the control of the water outlet component 5 and the detergent dispensing device 4, is more in line with the user's usage habits, and improves the user experience.

[0076] In terms of location, the first detection unit and the second detection unit can be respectively located near the washing dispensing device and the water outlet component 5.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the detection device 6 can be any one of an infrared sensing unit, a voice recognition module, or a position sensor.

[0078] The infrared sensing unit and the position sensor can send a start or stop signal by sensing the distance between the laundry 10 and the detection device 6.

[0079] The voice recognition module can send start or stop signals by recognizing voice control commands such as "start detergent", "stop detergent", "start water flow", and "stop water flow".

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, the washing machine further includes a control panel 7, which is provided with a program selector and additional function selection buttons, etc. The control panel 7 is disposed on the tray base 2. In particular, the control panel 7 provided by the present invention is provided with control buttons 8, which are configured to control whether the detection device 6 generates a start signal to start the detergent dispensing device 4 or the water outlet assembly 5.

[0081] Detailed, such as Figure 4 As shown, since the water outlet assembly 5 and the detergent dispensing device 4 are both located on the tray base 2, the user will inevitably pass through the detection device 6 when putting clothes into the tub assembly. To prevent the detection device 6 from being accidentally triggered, the present invention provides a control button 8 on the control panel 7. Only when the control button 8 is in the selected state will the detection device 6 detect whether there is a garment 10 to be washed approaching. Otherwise, the detection device 6 will not detect whether there is a garment 10 to be washed approaching.

[0082] The above solution makes the logic of the washing machine of the present invention more reasonable in the process of controlling the water outlet component 5 and the detergent dispensing device 4, and reduces the possibility of being triggered erroneously.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, the detergent dispensing device 4 is a foam-type detergent dispensing device 4.

[0084] In the above solution, the detergent dispenser 4 sprays out foam-type detergent, which makes the detergent foam finer and also eliminates the need for the user to rub and generate foam, saving time.

[0085] Specifically, the detergent dispensing device 4 includes a storage bottle, a dispensing pipe 41, and a foam generating device. The storage bottle is disposed inside the tray 2; the dispensing pipe 41 is disposed on the side wall of the clothing dispensing port 3, and the outlet of the dispensing pipe 41 extends out of the side wall of the tray 2 and is located inside the clothing dispensing port 3.

[0086] The foam generating device includes a gas-liquid mixing chamber, a liquid pump, a gas pump, and a drive mechanism. The gas-liquid mixing chamber is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 41; one end of the liquid pump is connected to the liquid storage bottle, and the other end is connected to the gas-liquid mixing chamber; one end of the gas pump is connected to the outside atmosphere, and the other end is connected to the gas-liquid mixing chamber; the drive mechanism is used to drive the liquid pump and the gas pump, and is configured to receive a signal to start the detergent dispensing device 4.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, an opening is provided on the side wall of the clothing inlet 3, and the liquid outlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe of the water outlet assembly 5 are housed in the tray 2 or extend out of the side wall of the clothing inlet 3 through the opening.

[0088] Detailed, such as Figure 5As shown, when using the detergent dispensing device 4 and the water outlet assembly 5 to wash clothes, the liquid outlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe of the water outlet assembly 5 extend out of the side wall of the clothes dispensing port 3 through the opening and are exposed in the clothes dispensing port 3. When not in use, the liquid outlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe of the water outlet assembly 5 are stored in the tray 2 through the opening to avoid the liquid outlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe of the water outlet assembly 5 occupying the space of the clothes dispensing port 3.

[0089] In a further embodiment, the opening is provided with a pivotally connected cover. When the cover is closed, the outer wall of the cover forms the side wall of the clothing inlet 3. When the cover is open, the liquid outlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe of the water outlet assembly 5 extend out of the side wall of the clothing inlet 3 to spray detergent and water.

[0090] In the above solution, by setting a cover, when the opening is closed, the outer wall of the cover forms the side wall of the clothes loading port 3, thereby increasing the aesthetics of the washing machine.

[0091] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
