[0056] There are currently few types of existing small multi-barrel washing machines, and they mainly achieve zoning by stacking and piecing together multiple agitator barrels. This solution can achieve zoned washing of different clothes; however, for the cleaning of close-fitting clothes such as underwear, panties, and socks, when using the agitator washing method, it will cause deformation and surface wear of the clothes, and the friction between the washing water and the close-fitting clothes is small, resulting in incomplete and insufficient washing.

[0057] The present invention creatively provides a laundry treatment device, including a washing barrel and a kneading structure, and the kneading structure is movably arranged in the washing barrel; the kneading structure has a structure adapted to a preset washing object; during washing, the kneading structure covers the preset washing object, the washing barrel drives the water flow to move, and the kneading structure rubs against the preset washing object under the action of the water flow to achieve the kneading effect on the preset washing object.

[0058] The kneading structure supports and washes the preset washing object, avoiding deformation and wear of the preset washing object during the washing process, expanding the contact area between the washing water and the preset washing object, increasing the friction between the washing water and the preset washing object, and achieving thorough and comprehensive washing.

[0059] As Figure 1a and Figure 1b shown, this embodiment provides a laundry treatment device, including:

[0060] A washing barrel,

[0061] A mounting bracket 4 and a plug board 51, the mounting bracket 4 is detachably arranged in the washing barrel, and the plug board 51 is detachably arranged on the mounting bracket 4;

[0062] The kneading and washing structure is movably arranged on the plug board; the kneading and washing structure includes a profiling frame 551, and the profiling frame 551 is detachably arranged on the plug board 51, so that different types of profiling frames 551 can be matched with the mounting frame 4 to wash different types of preset washing objects;

[0063] Preferably, the profiling frame 551 has two cup structures imitating a bra, and the preset washing object is a bra; the washing water is affected by the side wall of the washing tub and the mounting frame 4 to form washing water with different flow states, improving the washing effect; the profiling frame 551 is used to support the preset washing object to avoid deformation of the preset washing object during washing; at the same time, the contact probability between the profiling frame 551 and the preset washing object is increased, the washing effect is improved, and the washing time required is shortened.

[0064] <Connection between the mounting frame and the plug board>

[0065] As Figure 2a 、 Figure 2b 、 Figure 2c 、 Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown in

[0066] Specifically, the mounting frame guiding structure 411 is a guide rail groove formed by the inner side wall of the vertical beam 41 recessing towards the outer side wall of the vertical beam 41, and the guide rail groove extends along the axial direction of the washing tub; the plug board guiding structure 511 is a guiding protrusion formed by the side wall of the plug board 51 protruding towards the vertical beam 41, and the guiding protrusion extends along the axial direction of the washing tub; the structure of the guide rail groove is adapted to the structure of the guiding protrusion.

[0067] Furthermore, a top wall limiting post 412 is formed at the top of the inner side wall of the vertical beam 41, and the top wall limiting post 412 extends upward from the vertical beam 41 and the top wall limiting post 412 corresponds to the guide rail groove; a top wall limiting post groove 512 is formed on the top wall of the plug board 51 close to the vertical beam 41, and the top wall limiting post groove 512 corresponds to the guiding protrusion; the top wall limiting post 412 and the top wall limiting post groove 512 cooperate to limit the plug board 51 by the mounting frame 4.

[0068] In addition, the vertical beam 41 is further formed with a vertical beam transition section, which is located between the guide rail groove and the top wall limiting post 412 and connects the guide rail groove and the top wall limiting post 412; the insertion plate 51 is further formed with an insertion plate transition section, which is located between the guiding protrusion and the top wall limiting post groove 512 and connects the guiding protrusion and the top wall limiting post groove 512; the vertical beam transition section cooperates with the insertion plate transition section, so that the mounting bracket 4 plays a limiting role on the insertion plate 51.

[0069] In view of the problem that the connection between the mounting bracket 4 and the insertion plate 51 is unreliable, in this embodiment, it is proposed that the mounting bracket 4 further includes a cross beam 42 connected to the vertical beam 41; a mounting bracket positioning structure 421 is provided at the top of the cross beam 42, and an insertion plate positioning structure 513 is provided on one side of the insertion plate 51 close to the cross beam 42; the mounting bracket positioning structure 421 cooperates with the insertion plate positioning structure 513 to connect the mounting bracket 4 and the insertion plate 51; preferably, the two vertical beams 41 and the cross beam 42 form a U-shaped structure; during the process of washing a preset washing object, the problem that the insertion plate 51 moves relative to the mounting bracket 4 to generate noise and the insertion plate 51 is separated from the mounting bracket 4, resulting in the profiling frame 551 being unable to effectively wash the preset washing object is avoided.

[0070] Specifically, the mounting bracket positioning structure 421 is formed with a buckle protrusion 4211 and a buckle groove 4212, and the buckle groove 4212 is located at the bottom of the buckle protrusion 4211; the insertion plate positioning structure 513 is formed with a bow head body 5131 and a bow head cavity 5132, and the bow head cavity 5132 is located at the top of the bow head body 5131; when the mounting bracket positioning structure 421 and the insertion plate positioning structure 513 cooperate, the buckle protrusion 4211 is embedded in the bow head cavity 5132, and the bow head body 5131 is embedded in the buckle groove 4212, realizing the reliable connection between the cross beam 42 and the insertion plate 51.

[0071] Water deflecting structures are provided on both sides of the mounting bracket 4 at the position where the insertion plate 51 is inserted; when the mounting bracket 4 rotates with the washing tub, the water deflecting structures can deflect the water in the washing tub to form washing water with different flow states, so that the washing water can provide washing forces in different directions and with different magnitudes to the preset washing object, increasing the washing coverage and washing effect, and can be used for washing ordinary clothes.

[0072] In view of the problem that the resistance of the mounting bracket 4 is large during the washing process, in this embodiment, it is proposed that the vertical beam 41 is formed with a mounting bracket water passing hole 413, and the mounting bracket water passing hole 413 extends along the circumference of the washing tub and penetrates the vertical beam 41; along the circumference of the washing tub, the water on one side of the mounting bracket 4 can enter the other side of the mounting bracket 4 through the mounting bracket water passing hole 413; the problem of large resistance of the washing water during the washing process is reduced, different flowing directions and magnitudes of the washing water are formed in the washing tub, the washing force of the washing water is enhanced, and the washing effect is improved.

[0073] In view of the problem that the mounting bracket 4 is prone to deformation due to its low structural strength, in this embodiment, a plurality of mounting bracket reinforcing ribs are formed on one side of the side wall of the vertical beam 41 close to the washing tub; at least a part of the free ends of the plurality of mounting bracket reinforcing ribs enclose a mounting bracket water passing hole 413; preferably, the plurality of mounting bracket reinforcing ribs are arranged vertically and horizontally.

[0074] In view of the problem that the connection between the mounting bracket 4 and the washing tub is unreliable, in this embodiment, a carrier 43 is provided at the bottom of the transverse beam 42, and the carrier 43 has a bottom surface that cooperates with the bottom wall of the washing tub; the top of the carrier 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transverse beam 42, and the bottom of the carrier 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the washing tub; the carrier 43 forms a water filtering hole 431 penetrating through the carrier 43. When the carrier 43 rotates with the washing tub, the water at the bottom wall of the washing tub can flow through the water filtering hole 431 to a preset washing object, increasing the contact probability between the washing water and the preset washing object; preferably, the carrier 43 is of a disc-shaped structure;

[0075] A plurality of water deflecting rib strips are formed on the top surface of the disc-shaped structure; the plurality of water deflecting rib strips contact the preset washing object, and then wash the preset washing object; the contact friction between the water deflecting rib strips and the preset washing object can improve the washing effect.

[0076] It should be noted that the insertion plate 51 and the mounting bracket 4 can be integrally formed. The forming process is simple and of high quality, reducing the development cost and improving the overall structural strength of the laundry treatment device.

[0077] <Connection between the insertion plate and the middle frame>

[0078] As Figure 4a 、 Figure 4b 、 Figure 4c 、 Figure 5a 、 Figure 5b and Figure 5c As shown in

[0079] The plug board 51 is formed with a plug board installation cavity 515, and a limiting shaft 52 is arranged in the plug board installation cavity 515; the middle frame 553 is formed with a shaft hole 5531, and the shaft hole 5531 is sleeved outside the limiting shaft 52; the middle frame 553 is used to fix the adjusting shaft 554, and the adjusting shaft 554 is used to arrange the profiling frame 551. The position of the profiling frame 551 on the adjusting shaft 554 can be adjusted so that the same type of profiling frame 551 can be adapted to the same type and different sizes of preset washing objects; the profiling frame 551 is swingably arranged in the plug board installation cavity 515 through the adjusting shaft 554 and the middle frame 553; when the washing tub and the plug board 51 rotate synchronously, the washing water in the washing tub causes the profiling frame 551 and the middle frame 553 to swing relative to the plug board 51; thus enabling the middle frame 553 to be reliably connected to the plug board 51.

[0080] A flat position hole 5151 of the installation cavity is formed on the top wall of the plug board installation cavity 515, and a first flat position 521 is formed at one end of the limiting shaft 52; a bottom hole 5152 of the installation cavity is formed on the bottom wall of the plug board installation cavity; one end of the limiting shaft 52 passes through the bottom hole 5152 of the installation cavity to the flat position hole 5151 of the installation cavity, and at least a part of the first flat position 521 cooperates with the flat position hole, so that one end of the limiting shaft 52 is arranged at the top wall of the plug board installation cavity, and the other end of the limiting shaft 52 is arranged at the bottom hole 5152 of the installation cavity.

[0081] Furthermore, a plug board installation groove 5153 is further formed on the bottom wall of the plug board installation cavity. The plug board installation groove 5153 is located at the bottom of the bottom hole 5152 of the installation cavity and is communicated with the bottom hole 5152 of the installation cavity; an installation platform 522 is formed at the other end of the limiting shaft 52; the plug board installation groove 5153 cooperates with the installation platform 522, so that the other end of the limiting shaft 52 is arranged at the bottom wall of the plug board installation cavity; both ends of the limiting shaft 52 are respectively arranged in the plug board installation cavity through corresponding structures, and the connection is reliable.

[0082] Aiming at the problem that it is not conducive to washing the preset washing object when the profiling frame 551 can rotate at a large angle, this embodiment proposes that a swing limiting structure is further formed between the limiting shaft 52 and the middle frame 553. The swing limiting structure enables the middle frame 553 to swing relative to the limiting shaft 52 within a preset swing angle; increasing the degree of freedom of movement of the profiling frame 551, enabling washing water with different flow directions and sizes to contact the preset washing object, and realizing comprehensive and thorough washing of the preset washing object.

[0083] Further, the swing limit structure includes a first limit bushing 531, a second limit bushing 532, and a limit boss 523. A first limit bushing 531 is provided at one end of the shaft hole 5531 close to the flat position hole 5151 of the installation cavity, and a second limit bushing 532 is provided at one end of the shaft hole 5531 close to the bottom hole 5152 of the installation cavity.
