Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system that includes said element.

[0058] Existing washing machines suffer from unreasonable structural design of individual washing tubs and limited washing methods, resulting in a narrow washing range and poor washing effect; they cannot be adapted to different washing components, resulting in the ability to wash only a limited number of types of clothing, low space utilization, and inability to achieve precise washing.

[0059] This invention creatively provides a garment processing device, including a washing tub and an auxiliary washing assembly. The auxiliary washing assembly includes a mounting frame and an auxiliary washing structure. The mounting frame is detachably mounted in the washing tub, and the auxiliary washing structure is detachably mounted on the mounting frame. When the auxiliary washing assembly is removed from the washing tub, the washing tub itself provides a first washing mode. When the mounting frame is in the washing tub, it rotates synchronously with the washing tub, and its own structure provides a second washing mode. When the auxiliary washing structure is mounted on the mounting frame, it provides a third washing mode. The first, second, and third washing modes can adapt to different preset washing objects. Different washing modes can be flexibly selected according to actual needs. This improves the space utilization of the washing tub, expands the washing range, improves the washing effect, and enables precise washing.

[0060] Three washing modes

[0061] like Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown, this embodiment provides a clothing processing device, including a washing tub and an auxiliary washing component. The auxiliary washing component includes a mounting frame 4 and an auxiliary washing structure. The mounting frame 4 is detachably disposed in the washing tub, and the auxiliary washing structure is detachably disposed on the mounting frame 4.

[0062] When the washing unit is removed from the first inner tub 31, the first inner tub 31 can provide a first washing mode; when the mounting bracket 4 is installed in the first inner tub 31, the mounting bracket 4 can provide a second washing mode; when the rubbing structure is installed on the mounting bracket 4, the rubbing structure can provide a third washing mode.

[0063] Furthermore, the washing tub includes an outer tub 2 and an inner tub 3; a top-to-bottom waterfall washing mode is achieved by utilizing the gap between the side walls of the outer tub 2 and the inner tub 3; the first washing mode is the waterfall washing mode; the mounting frame 4 has a water-repelling structure, which is used to achieve the rib washing mode; the second washing mode is the rib washing mode; the auxiliary washing structure has a contoured structure adapted to the preset washing object, which allows the preset washing object to be supported on it and to generate frictional movement with the preset washing object during washing, thus achieving the friction washing mode; the third washing mode is the friction washing mode.

[0064] <Outer bucket and inner bucket>

[0065] like Figure 8a and Figure 8bAs shown, the outer tub 2 includes a first outer tub 21 and a second outer tub 22; the first outer tub 21 and the second outer tub 22 are arranged in parallel, and the first outer tub 21 and the second outer tub 22 have separate water inlet and outlet, realizing zoned washing, compact structure, and improved space utilization; the first outer tub 21 and the second outer tub 22 are integrally formed; the molding process is simple and of high quality, reducing development costs and improving the overall structural strength of the clothing processing device;

[0066] The inner tub 3 includes a first inner tub 31 and a second inner tub 32; the first inner tub 31 is rotatably disposed inside the first outer tub 21, and the second inner tub 32 is rotatably disposed inside the second outer tub 22; the structure is compact, improving space utilization; a mounting frame is detachably disposed inside the first inner tub 31, and an auxiliary washing structure is detachably disposed on the mounting frame; a pulsator 10 or a washer 10 is rotatably disposed inside the second inner tub 32; the contour frame 551 is used for washing bras, and the pulsator 10 or the washer 10 can be used for washing underwear and socks, achieving precise washing and improving washing effect.

[0067] <Waterfall Washing Structure>

[0068] An annular cavity is formed between the side walls of the outer tub and the inner tub. The upper end of the side wall of the inner tub forms an inner tub rim that protrudes towards the bottom wall of the inner tub, and the upper end of the side wall of the outer tub forms an outer tub rim that protrudes towards the bottom wall of the inner tub. A flow channel is formed between the inner tub rim and the outer tub rim, connecting the annular cavity. The flow channel has a water inlet facing the inner tub. Water in the annular cavity is sent into the inner tub through the flow channel and the water inlet, forming a waterfall washing flow. When the water in the annular cavity passes through the flow channel, it can be rebounded by the outer tub rim to form a vortex. The vortex then rebounds after passing the inner tub rim and enters the inner tub, forming a washing force on the preset washing objects in the inner tub. This increases the impact force of the waterfall on the preset washing objects and improves the washing mechanical force. The inner side wall of the inner tub has multiple inner tub protrusions. The washing water in the inner tub can first hit the inner tub protrusions and then hit the bottom of the inner tub rim, thereby forming a waterfall that impacts the washing clothes in the inner tub.

[0069] Specifically, the first inner tub 31 forms a first inner tub edge 341, the first outer tub 21 forms a first outer tub edge 281, a first annular cavity is formed between the side wall of the first inner tub 31 and the side wall of the first outer tub 21, a first flow channel is formed between the first inner tub edge 341 and the first outer tub edge 281, and the first flow channel is connected to the first annular cavity; the second inner tub 32 forms a second inner tub edge 342, the second outer tub 22 forms a second outer tub edge 282; a second annular cavity is formed between the side wall of the second inner tub 32 and the side wall of the second outer tub 22, a second flow channel is formed between the second inner tub edge 342 and the second outer tub edge 282, and the second flow channel is connected to the second annular cavity.

[0070] The auxiliary washing components also include a insert plate 51, which is detachably mounted on the mounting frame 4; the auxiliary washing structure is a kneading structure, which is movably mounted on the insert plate 51; the kneading structure includes a contour frame 551, which is detachably mounted on the insert plate 51, so that different types of contour frames 551 can be matched with the mounting frame 4 to wash different types of preset washing objects; preferably, the contour frame 551 forms a bra-like cup structure, 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, forming washing water with different flow patterns, improving the washing effect; the contour frame 551 is used to support the preset washing object, preventing the preset washing object from deforming during the washing process; at the same time, it increases the contact probability between the contour frame 551 and the preset washing object, improving the washing effect and shortening the washing time.

[0071] <Connection of Mounting Bracket and Insert Plate 1>

[0072] like Figure 2a , Figure 2b , Figure 2c , Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, the mounting frame 4 is connected to the washing tub by screws, and the mounting frame 4 can rotate synchronously with the washing tub; an installation structure is formed between the mounting frame 4 and the insert plate 51, and the installation structure is configured to push the insert plate 51 along the axial direction of the washing tub towards the bottom wall of the washing tub to install the insert plate 51 onto the mounting frame 4, which facilitates the installation and removal of the insert plate 51; the mounting frame 4 includes a support frame 43 and two vertical beams 41 located on the support frame 43, and the outer side wall of the vertical beams 41 is connected to the inner side wall of the washing tub; an installation frame guide structure 411 is formed on the inner side wall of the vertical beams 41; an insert plate guide structure 511 is formed on the side of the insert plate 51 near the vertical beams 41, and the mounting frame guide structure 411 cooperates with the insert plate guide structure 511 to guide the insert plate 51;

[0073] Specifically, the mounting bracket guide structure 411 is a guide rail groove, which is formed by the inner side wall of the vertical beam 41 recessed towards the outer side wall of the vertical beam 41, and extends along the axial direction of the washing tub; the insert plate guide structure 511 is a guide protrusion, which protrudes from the side wall of the insert plate 51 towards the vertical beam 41, and extends along the axial direction of the washing tub; the structure of the guide rail groove is adapted to the structure of the guide protrusion.

[0074] Furthermore, a top wall limiting post 412 is formed on the top of the inner wall of the vertical beam 41. The top wall limiting post 412 extends upward toward the vertical beam 41 and corresponds to the guide rail groove. A top wall limiting post groove 512 is formed on the side of the top wall of the insert plate 51 near the vertical beam 41, and the top wall limiting post groove 512 corresponds to the guide protrusion. The top wall limiting post 412 and the top wall limiting post groove 512 cooperate to make the mounting bracket 4 limit the insert plate 51.

[0075] In addition, the vertical beam 41 also has 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 insert plate 51 also has an insert plate transition section, which is located between the guide protrusion and the top wall limiting post groove 512 and connects the guide protrusion and the top wall limiting post groove 512; the vertical beam transition section and the insert plate transition section cooperate to enable the mounting frame 4 to limit the insert plate 51.

[0076] To address the unreliable connection between the mounting frame 4 and the insert plate 51, this embodiment proposes that the mounting frame 4 further include a transverse beam 42 connected to the vertical beam 41; a mounting frame positioning structure 421 is provided at the top of the transverse beam 42, and an insert plate positioning structure 513 is provided on the side of the insert plate 51 near the transverse beam 42; the mounting frame positioning structure 421 and the insert plate positioning structure 513 cooperate to connect the mounting frame 4 and the insert plate 51; preferably, the two vertical beams 41 and the transverse beam 42 form a U-shaped structure; this avoids the problem of noise generated by the movement of the insert plate 51 relative to the mounting frame 4 during the washing of the preset washing object, and the problem of the insert plate 51 separating from the mounting frame 4, resulting in the contour frame 551 being unable to effectively wash the preset washing object.

[0077] Specifically, the mounting bracket positioning structure 421 has a snap-fit ​​protrusion 4211 and a snap-fit ​​groove 4212, with the snap-fit ​​groove 4212 located at the bottom of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 4211; the insert plate positioning structure 513 has an arch head body 5131 and an arch head cavity 5132, with the arch head cavity 5132 located at the top of the arch head body 5131; when the mounting bracket positioning structure 421 and the insert plate positioning structure 513 are engaged, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 4211 is embedded in the arch head cavity 5132, and the arch head body 5131 is embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 4212, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the transverse beam 42 and the insert plate 51.

[0078] Two vertical beams 41 form a water-dispelling structure; when the mounting bracket 4 rotates with the washing tub, the water-dispelling structure can dispel the water in the washing tub to form washing water with different flow patterns, so that the washing water can provide washing force of different directions and different magnitudes to the preset washing objects, increasing the washing coverage and washing effect, and can be used to wash ordinary clothes.

[0079] To address the issue of high resistance in the mounting bracket 4 during the washing process, this embodiment proposes that the vertical beam 41 has a mounting bracket water passage hole 413. The mounting bracket water passage hole 413 extends circumferentially along the washing tub and penetrates the vertical beam 41. Along the circumference of the washing tub, water from one side of the mounting bracket 4 can enter the other side of the mounting bracket 4 through the mounting bracket water passage hole 413. This reduces the problem of high resistance in the washing water during the washing process, creates washing water with different flow directions and sizes within the washing tub, enhances the washing power of the washing water, and improves the washing effect.

[0080] To address the problem that the mounting bracket 4 is prone to deformation due to its low structural strength, this embodiment proposes that a plurality of mounting bracket reinforcing ribs be formed on the side of the vertical beam 41 near the side wall of the washing tub; at least a portion of the reinforcing ribs have their free ends forming a water passage hole 413 for the mounting bracket; preferably, the plurality of mounting bracket reinforcing ribs are arranged in a crisscross pattern.

[0081] To address the issue of unreliable connection between the mounting frame 4 and the washing tub, this embodiment proposes that the support frame 43 has a bottom surface that mates with the bottom wall of the washing tub; the top of the support frame 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transverse beam 42, and the bottom of the support frame 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the washing tub; the support frame 43 forms a water filter hole 431 that penetrates the support frame 43, and when the support frame 43 rotates with the washing tub, water at the bottom wall of the washing tub can flow through the water filter hole 431 to the preset washing object, increasing the probability of contact between the washing water and the preset washing object; preferably, the support frame 43 has a disc-shaped structure;

[0082] The top surface of the disc-shaped structure has multiple water-repelling ribs; these ribs come into contact with the preset washing object, thereby washing the object; the friction between the water-repelling ribs and the preset washing object can improve the washing effect.

[0083] It should be noted that the insert plate 51 and the mounting bracket 4 can be integrally molded, which is simple and of high quality, reduces development costs, and improves the overall structural strength of the garment processing device.

[0084] <Connection between mounting bracket and insert plate, part two>

[0085] like Figure 6a and Figure 6b As shown, unlike the above, the inner wall of the vertical beam 41 is provided with a side wall limiting clip 44, and the side wall of the insert plate 51 is provided with a side wall limiting groove 514 on the side closest to the vertical beam 41. The side wall limiting clip 44 and the side wall limiting groove 514 cooperate to guide, limit and fix the insert plate 51 with the mounting bracket 4.

[0086] Furthermore, the side wall limiting clip 44 is a limiting elastic element, and the side wall limiting clip 44 is embedded in the side wall limiting slot 514 for easy disassembly and assembly; preferably, along the extension direction of the vertical beam 41, multiple side wall limiting clips 44 are provided on the vertical beam 41; the side wall of the insert plate 51 forms multiple side wall limiting slots 514; the limiting elastic element is embedded in the corresponding side wall limiting slot 514; the limiting elastic element is an elastic sheet.

[0087] The top of the two vertical beams is provided with water-dispersing ribs 463. When the washing tub rotates, the water-dispersing ribs 463 can dissipate the washing water to the preset washing object. Preferably, the water-dispersing ribs 463 are ring structures with multiple water-dispersing holes formed along the axial direction of the water-dispersing ribs 463, which improves the water-dispersing effect.

[0088] <Connection between the insert plate and the profiling frame>

[0089] like Figure 4a , Figure 4b , Figure 4c , Figure 5a , Figure 5b and Figure 5c As shown, the corresponding contour frame 551 can be set on the insert plate 51 according to actual needs to adapt to different types or sizes of preset washing objects; it plays a supporting role for the preset washing objects, expands the application range of the contour frame 551, and improves the compatibility between the contour frame 551 and the preset washing objects.

[0090] The washing structure also includes an intermediate frame 553 and a limiting shaft 52. The contour frame 551 is set on the intermediate frame 553. The insert plate 51 forms an insert plate mounting cavity 515, and the limiting shaft 52 is set in the insert plate mounting cavity 515. The intermediate frame 553 forms a shaft hole 5531, and the shaft hole 5531 is sleeved on the limiting shaft 52.

[0091] When the washing tub and the insert plate 51 rotate synchronously, the washing water in the washing tub causes the contour frame 551 and the intermediate frame 553 to swing relative to the insert plate 51, thus ensuring a reliable connection between the intermediate frame 553 and the insert plate 51.

[0092] The top wall of the insert plate mounting cavity 515 has a mounting cavity flat hole 5151, and one end of the limiting shaft 52 has a first flat hole 521. The bottom wall of the insert plate mounting cavity has a mounting cavity bottom hole 5152. One end of the limiting shaft 52 passes through the mounting cavity bottom hole 5152 to the mounting cavity flat hole 5151. At least a portion of the first flat hole 521 mates with the flat hole, so that one end of the limiting shaft 52 is located at the top wall of the insert plate mounting cavity, and the other end of the limiting shaft 52 is located at the mounting cavity bottom hole 5152.

[0093] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the insert plate mounting cavity is also formed with an insert plate mounting groove 5153, which is located at the bottom of the mounting cavity bottom hole 5152 and communicates with the mounting cavity bottom hole 5152; the other end of the limiting shaft 52 is formed with a mounting platform 522; the insert plate mounting groove 5153 cooperates with the mounting platform 522 so that the other end of the limiting shaft 52 is set at the bottom wall of the insert plate mounting cavity; the two ends of the limiting shaft 52 are respectively set in the insert plate mounting cavity through corresponding structures, and the connection is reliable.

[0094] To address the issue that a large rotation angle of the contour frame 551 is not conducive to washing the preset washing object, this embodiment proposes that a swing limiting structure be formed between the limiting shaft 52 and the intermediate frame 553. The swing limiting structure allows the intermediate frame 553 to swing relative to the limiting shaft 52 within a preset swing angle; this increases the degree of freedom of movement of the contour frame 551, allowing washing water of different flow directions and sizes to come into contact with the preset washing object, thereby achieving a comprehensive and thorough washing of the preset washing object.

[0095] Furthermore, the swing limiting structure includes a first limiting bushing 531, a second limiting bushing 532, and a limiting boss 523; the first limiting bushing 531 is provided at one end of the shaft hole 5531 near the flat hole 5151 of the mounting cavity, and the second limiting bushing 532 is provided at one end of the shaft hole 5531 near the bottom hole 5152 of the mounting cavity; a limiting boss 523 is formed at one end of the limiting shaft 52 near the bottom hole 5152 of the mounting cavity, and the limiting boss 523 is located at the top of the mounting platform 522; one end of the limiting shaft 52 passes through the first limiting bushing 531, and the other end of the limiting shaft 52 passes through the bottom hole 5152 of the mounting cavity, so that the limiting boss 523 cooperates with the second limiting bushing 532;

[0096] In addition, the first limiting bushing 531 forms a first bushing flat hole; the limiting boss 523 forms a second flat 524, and the second limiting bushing 532 forms a second bushing flat hole; another part of the first flat 521 mates with the first bushing flat hole, and the second flat 524 mates with the second bushing flat hole, so that the limiting shaft 52 plays a limiting role on the intermediate frame 553; ensuring that the intermediate frame 553 swings within a certain range, avoiding the problem that the swing angle of the intermediate frame 553 is too large, which would reduce the washing effect.

[0097] <Baffle>

[0098] To address the issue of low washing force of the washing water on the preset washing object during the rotation of the washing tub, this embodiment proposes that the intermediate frame 553 has a baffle 5532, which extends away from the side wall of the intermediate frame 553; the insert plate 51 has a baffle clearance cavity 517, which communicates with the insert plate mounting cavity 515; when the contour frame 551 swings with the washing water in the washing tub, the baffle 5532 can swing with the intermediate frame 553 through the baffle clearance cavity 517 and push the washing water toward the preset washing object, increasing the probability of contact between the washing water and the preset washing object.

[0099] Furthermore, such as Figure 5c As shown, the intermediate frame 553 has a cylindrical structure; multiple baffles 5532 are arranged along the circumference of the intermediate frame 553; among two adjacent baffles 5532, one baffle 5532 has an acute angle with the preset plane, and the other baffle 5532 has an obtuse angle with the preset plane; the preset plane is the symmetrical plane of the two end faces of the intermediate frame 553; when the washing tub rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, one baffle 5532 can always direct the washing water toward the preset washing object, thus improving the washing effect.

[0100] <Insert plate, chicken heart beam, and pressure cap>

[0101] like Figure 4b and Figure 4cAs shown, in order to address the problem of unstable fixation of the preset washing object, this embodiment proposes that the top of the insert plate 51 is provided with a pressure cover 562 and an insert plate core beam 561, and the insert plate core beam 561 is located at the bottom of the pressure cover 562; a portion of the preset washing object is provided between the pressure cover 562 and the insert plate core beam 561, which plays a good role in fixing it.

[0102] Preferably, the bra's center gore is attached to the insert plate center gore beam 561, and the two cups of the bra are respectively fitted onto the outside of the two wash outer layers 552, and the pressure cap 562 is rotated so that the pressure cap 562 covers the center gore of the bra.

[0103] To address the problem of weak structural strength of the insert plate 51 leading to easy deformation, this embodiment proposes that the sidewalls, top wall, and bottom wall of the insert plate 51 are formed with multiple wall reinforcing ribs, which are staggered to improve the structural strength of the insert plate 51. The insert plate mounting cavity 515 is located in the middle of the insert plate 51, and multiple central reinforcing ribs are formed on the outer side of the insert plate mounting cavity 515. Adjacent central reinforcing ribs form insert plate water passage holes 516. The central reinforcing cavity forms insert plate water passage holes 516. On the one hand, this can strengthen the structural strength of the insert plate 51, and on the other hand, it can allow the washing water in the first washing zone to enter the second washing zone through the insert plate water passage holes 516, thereby forming washing water with different flow patterns and increasing the washing power of the washing water.

[0104] <Wash the outer layer>

[0105] like Figure 7a , Figure 7b and Figure 7c As shown, the washing structure also includes a washing outer layer 552, which is fitted onto the outer surface of the contour frame 551. The corresponding washing outer layer 552 can be fitted onto the contour frame 551 according to actual needs to adapt to different types or sizes of preset washing objects. The preset washing objects are fitted onto the outer surface of the washing outer layer 552, and the washing outer layer 552 washes the preset washing objects, expanding the application range of the washing outer layer 552 and improving the compatibility between the washing outer layer 552 and the contour frame.

[0106] To address the issue of poor washing effect of the outer washing layer 552, this embodiment proposes that the outer surface of the outer washing layer 552 be formed with washing protrusions 5521 or washing ribs 5521, and the free ends of the washing protrusions 5521 or washing ribs 5521 are formed to fit the preset washing object; a certain gap is formed between the outer surface of the outer washing layer 552 and the inner surface of the preset washing object, allowing washing water to enter the gap, and there is frictional movement between the washing protrusions 5521 or washing ribs 5521 and the preset washing object, thereby fully and thoroughly washing the preset washing object, resulting in a good washing effect; in addition, it can support the preset washing object and prevent the preset washing object from deforming during the washing process;

[0107] Multiple rubbing protrusions 5521 are formed into multiple groups of rubbing protrusions 5521, and the multiple rubbing protrusions 5521 in each group of rubbing protrusions 5521 are arranged alternately along the circumference of the corresponding circle; the circles containing different groups of rubbing protrusions 5521 are arranged alternately with the same center. Preferably, the rubbing protrusions 5521 are cylindrical or conical structures.

[0108] The rubbing ribs 5521 are annular structures and include multiple ribs, which are arranged alternately with the same center. Alternatively, the rubbing ribs 5521 are linear or arc-shaped structures, and include multiple ribs, which are arranged alternately along the outer surface of the outer rubbing layer 552.

[0109] Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure have been specifically shown and described above. It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the detailed structures, arrangements, or implementations described herein; rather, this disclosure is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements contained within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
