[0024] Compared with the prior art, the main advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] (1) A fluid cavity is formed between the outer washing layer and the end face of the washing support. The outer washing layer is made of flexible material. The fluid cavity can be filled with fluid through the fluid inlet. By adjusting the amount of fluid filled, the outer washing layer can be deformed to different degrees, which can adapt to different types and sizes of preset washing objects. The structure is simple, which expands the application range of the outer washing layer. The structure of the outer washing layer is highly matched with the type and size of the preset washing object, so that the outer washing layer plays a supporting and shaping role for the preset washing object. It avoids the preset washing object from deforming and wearing during the washing process, and improves the washing ratio and washing effect of the preset washing object.

[0026] (2) During the washing process, the pre-set washing object is placed on the outside of the rubbing outer layer. Fluid is filled into the fluid cavity or the fluid cavity is drained out, which increases or decreases the size of the rubbing outer layer. During the deformation of the rubbing outer layer, relative movement occurs with the pre-set washing object, thereby squeezing and washing the pre-set washing object. The washing is thorough and comprehensive, and the washing efficiency is high.

[0027] (3) Under the action of the pump, the fluid can enter the first fluid chamber through the main channel and the first branch channel, and the fluid can enter the second fluid chamber through the main channel and the second branch channel; control the pump to send or output fluid to the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber to increase or decrease the size of the outer layer of the washing process.

[0028] (4) The washing rack is a split structure, including a first sub-washing rack and a second sub-washing rack that can be detachably connected together. The rubbing support is set in the rack mounting cavity, which is convenient to disassemble and assemble. The rubbing support can rotate relative to the limiting shaft, which improves the freedom of movement of the rubbing support and the washing effect.

[0029] (5) Multiple rubbing protrusions or rubbing ribs are formed on the outer side of the rubbing outer layer, so that there is a certain gap between the outer side of the rubbing outer layer and the inner side of the preset washing object. Washing water can enter the gap. There is frictional movement between the rubbing protrusions or rubbing ribs and the preset washing object, thereby fully and thoroughly washing the preset washing object, resulting in a good washing effect.

[0045] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] The terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “Multiple” generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.

[0047] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0048] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product or system. 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.

[0049] There are few existing small multi-tub washing machine products, and they mainly use the method of stacking multiple impeller tubs to achieve partitioning. This solution can achieve partitioned washing of different clothes; however, for washing intimate clothing such as underwear, socks, etc., the impeller washing method can cause deformation and surface wear of the clothes, and the washing is not thorough; in addition, existing small multi-tub washing machines are large in size and have low space utilization.

[0050] This invention creatively provides a washing assembly, including a washing rack, a kneading support, and a kneading outer layer. The kneading support is detachably mounted on the washing rack. The kneading outer layer covers the end face of the kneading support, and a fluid cavity is formed between the kneading outer layer and the end face of the kneading support. The kneading support has a fluid inlet communicating with the fluid cavity. The kneading outer layer is made of a flexible material, and the fluid cavity can be filled with fluid through the fluid inlet. By adjusting the amount of fluid filled, the kneading outer layer can deform to different degrees, adapting to different types and sizes of preset washing objects. The structure is simple, increasing the application range of the kneading outer layer. The structure of the kneading outer layer is highly matched with the type and size of the preset washing object, enabling the kneading outer layer to support and shape the preset washing object. This avoids deformation and wear of the preset washing object during washing, improving the washing ratio and washing effect of the preset washing object.

[0051] <Washing Components>

[0052] like Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown, this embodiment provides a washing assembly, including a washing rack 51, a kneading support 571, and a kneading outer layer 552; the washing rack 51 is detachably mounted on the mounting frame 4, and the kneading support 571 is detachably mounted on the washing rack 51; the kneading outer layer 552 covers the end face of the kneading support 571, and a fluid cavity is formed between the kneading outer layer 552 and the end face of the kneading support 571; the kneading support 571 has a fluid inlet communicating with the fluid cavity, and the fluid cavity can be filled with fluid through the fluid inlet;

[0053] The outer washing layer 552 is made of a flexible material. By adjusting the amount of fluid injected, the outer washing layer 552 can deform to different degrees, which can adapt to different types and different sizes of preset washing objects of the same type. Preferably, the preset washing object is a bra, and the outer washing layer 552 forms a bra-like cup structure.

[0054] Specifically, a rubbing protrusion 5521 or a rubbing rib 5521 is formed on the side of the outer rubbing layer 552 away from the rubbing support 571, and the free end of the rubbing protrusion 5521 or the rubbing rib 5521 forms a structure that is adapted to the preset washing object.

[0055] With its simple structure, the outer washing layer 552 has expanded its application range. The structure of the outer washing layer 552 is highly matched with the type and size of the preset washing object, so that the outer washing layer 552 supports and shapes the preset washing object; it avoids deformation and wear of the preset washing object during the washing process, and improves the washing ratio and washing effect of the preset washing object; during the washing process, the preset washing object is placed on the outside of the outer washing layer 552, and the fluid is filled into the fluid cavity or drained from the fluid cavity, which increases or decreases the size of the outer washing layer 552. During the deformation of the outer washing layer 552, relative movement occurs between it and the preset washing object, thereby squeezing and washing the preset washing object, resulting in thorough and comprehensive washing with high washing efficiency.

[0056] Furthermore, the fluid inlet includes a first fluid inlet; the washing support 571 forms a main flow channel 5711 and a first branch flow channel 5712, the fluid outlet end of the main flow channel 5711 is connected to the fluid inlet end of the first branch flow channel 5712, and the fluid outlet end of the first branch flow channel 5712 forms the first fluid inlet; the washing support 571 has a columnar structure, and the washing outer layer 552 includes two; one washing outer layer 552 is covered on one end face of the washing support 571 and forms a first fluid cavity 5714 with the end face, and the first fluid cavity 5714 is connected to the first fluid inlet;

[0057] The fluid inlet also includes a second fluid inlet; another washing outer layer 552 is covered on the other end face of the washing bracket 571 and forms a second fluid cavity 5715 with the end face; the washing bracket 571 has a second branch channel 5713, the fluid inlet end of the second branch channel 5713 is connected to the fluid outlet end of the main channel 5711, and the fluid outlet end of the second branch channel 5713 forms a second fluid inlet;

[0058] Fluid is introduced into the first fluid chamber 5714 and the second fluid chamber 5715 so that the outer washing layer 552 can support and shape the preset washing object.

[0059] In addition, the washing rack 51 has a pump mounting position, and the washing assembly also includes a fluid pump 582; the fluid pump 582 is located at the pump mounting position and the fluid outlet of the fluid pump 582 is connected to the fluid inlet of the main channel 5711; under the action of the fluid pump 582, fluid can enter the first fluid chamber 5714 through the main channel 5711 and the first branch channel 5712, and fluid can enter the second fluid chamber 5715 through the main channel 5711 and the second branch channel 5713; controlling the fluid pump 582 to send or output fluid to the first fluid chamber 5714 and the second fluid chamber 5715 causes the size of the outer washing layer 552 to increase or decrease.

[0060] <Washing rack>

[0061] like Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, to address the issues of inconvenient installation of the rubbing and washing bracket 571 and poor washing effect of the rubbing and washing outer layer 552, this embodiment proposes that the washing rack 51 has a split structure and includes a first sub-washing rack 5181 and a second sub-washing rack 5182. The first sub-washing rack 5181 and the second sub-washing rack 5182 are detachably connected together, and a bracket mounting cavity 515 is formed between the first sub-washing rack 5181 and the second sub-washing rack 5182. The rubbing and washing bracket 571 is disposed in the bracket mounting cavity 515. The rubbing and washing bracket 571 can be fixed relative to the washing rack 51, in which case only the washing water is used to wash the preset washing object fitted on the rubbing and washing outer layer 552; or the rubbing and washing bracket 571 can rotate relative to the washing rack 51, in which case the rubbing and washing outer layer 552 and the rubbing and washing bracket 571 rotate relative to the washing rack 51 under the action of the washing water, thereby washing the preset washing object fitted on the rubbing and washing outer layer 552. This facilitates the installation and removal of the rubbing and washing bracket 571, and the rubbing and washing bracket 571 has more degrees of freedom of movement and better washing effect.

[0062] Furthermore, when the rubbing support 571 can rotate relative to the washing rack 51, a limiting shaft is formed on the side wall of the support mounting cavity 515, and the rubbing support 571 has a shaft hole, which is sleeved on the limiting shaft, so that the rubbing support 571 and the washing rack 51 are reliably connected; when the washing tub and the washing rack 51 rotate synchronously, the washing water in the washing tub causes the rubbing support 571 to swing relative to the limiting shaft.

[0063] A pump mounting position is formed on the side of the second sub-washing rack 5182 away from the first sub-washing rack 5181. A pump mounting seat is provided at the pump mounting position, and the pump mounting seat forms a pump mounting cavity. An clearance hole is formed between the pump mounting cavity and the bracket mounting cavity 515. The fluid outlet pipe passes through the clearance hole and communicates with the fluid inlet end of the main flow channel 5711. A washing rack core beam 561 is formed on the top of the first sub-washing rack 5181. A pressure cap 562 is provided above the washing rack core beam 561. The pressure cap 562 cooperates with the washing rack core beam 561 to fix the preset washing object.

[0064] Preferably, the bra's center gore is attached to the center gore beam 561 of the washing rack, and the two cups of the bra are respectively fitted onto the outside of the two washing outer layers 552, and the pressure cap 562 is rotated to cover the center gore of the bra.

[0065] To address the problem of weak structural strength in the washing rack 51 leading to easy deformation, this embodiment proposes that the side walls, top walls, and bottom walls of the washing rack 51 are reinforced with multiple wall ribs, which are staggered to improve the structural strength of the washing rack 51. The washing rack mounting cavity 515 is located in the middle of the washing rack 51, and multiple central reinforcing ribs are formed on the outer side of the washing rack mounting cavity 515. Adjacent central reinforcing ribs form a washing rack water passage hole 516. The central reinforcing cavity forms a washing rack water passage hole 516. On the one hand, this can strengthen the structural strength of the washing rack 51, and on the other hand, it can allow washing water from one side of the washing rack 51 to enter the other side of the washing rack 51 through the washing rack water passage hole 516, thus forming washing water with different flow patterns and increasing the washing force of the washing water.

[0066] like Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, this embodiment provides a clothing processing device, including a washing tub, a mounting frame 4, and the washing components described in any of the above-mentioned items; the mounting frame 4 is disposed inside the washing tub, and the washing rack is detachably disposed on the mounting frame 4; the fluid inlet end of the fluid pump 582 is connected to the washing tub, or the fluid inlet end of the fluid pump 582 is connected to the water inlet pipe of the washing tub.

[0067] Under the action of fluid pump 582, water in the washing tub can enter the main channel 5711 of the washing support 571, or external water can enter the main channel 5711 through the water inlet pipe of the washing tub.

[0068] <Connection between the washing rack and the mounting bracket>

[0069] like Figure 3b and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 4 is connected to the washing tub by screws, and the mounting bracket 4 can rotate synchronously with the washing tub; an installation structure is formed between the mounting bracket 4 and the washing rack 51, and the installation structure is configured to push the washing rack 51 towards the bottom wall of the washing tub along the axial direction of the washing tub to install the washing rack 51 onto the mounting bracket 4; this facilitates the installation and removal of the washing rack 51; the mounting bracket 4 includes two vertical beams 41, the outer side wall of the vertical beams 41 is connected to the inner side wall of the washing tub; an installation bracket guide structure 411 is formed on the inner side wall of the vertical beams 41; a washing rack guide structure is formed on the side of the washing rack 51 near the vertical beams 41, and the installation bracket guide structure 411 cooperates with the washing rack guide structure to guide the washing rack 51;

[0070] 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 washing rack guide structure is a guide protrusion, which protrudes from the side wall of the washing rack 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.

[0071] To address the issue of unreliable connection between the mounting frame 4 and the washing rack 51, this embodiment proposes that the mounting frame 4 further includes a transverse beam 42 connected to the vertical beam 41; a mounting frame positioning structure is provided at the top of the transverse beam 42, and a washing rack positioning structure is provided on the side of the washing rack 51 near the transverse beam 42; the mounting frame positioning structure and the washing rack positioning structure cooperate to connect the mounting frame 4 and the washing rack 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 washing rack 51 relative to the mounting frame 4 during the washing of the preset washing object, and the problem of the washing rack 51 separating from the mounting frame 4, resulting in the washing support 571 being unable to effectively wash the preset washing object.

[0072] The mounting bracket 4 has water-dispelling structures on both sides of the position where the washing rack 51 is inserted. When the mounting bracket 4 rotates with the washing tub, the water-dispelling structures can dispel the water in the washing tub to form washing water with different flow patterns. This allows the washing water to provide different directions and different magnitudes of washing force to the preset washing objects, increasing the washing coverage and washing effect. It can be used to wash ordinary clothes.

[0073] 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 water passage hole for the mounting bracket, which 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 water passage hole. 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.

[0074] 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 water passage holes for the mounting bracket; preferably, the plurality of mounting bracket reinforcing ribs are arranged in a crisscross pattern.

[0075] To address the issue of unreliable connection between the mounting bracket 4 and the washing tub, this embodiment proposes that a support frame 43 be provided at the bottom of the transverse beam 42, the support frame 43 having 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 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 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;

[0076] 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.

[0077] It should be noted that the washing rack 51 and the mounting rack 4 can be integrally molded, which is simple and of high quality, reduces development costs, and improves the overall structural strength of the clothing processing device.

[0078] <Wash the outer layer>

[0079] like Figure 5a , Figure 5b and Figure 5c As shown, to address the problem of poor washing effect of the outer washing layer 552, this embodiment proposes that the outer surface of the outer washing layer 552 is formed with washing protrusions 5521 or washing ribs 5521, and the free ends of the washing protrusions 5521 or washing ribs 5521 are formed with a structure adapted to 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;

[0083] like Figure 6a and Figure 6b As shown, the washing tub includes an outer tub 2 and an inner tub 3. 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. The structure is compact and improves space utilization. The first outer tub 21 and the second outer tub 22 are integrally molded. The molding process is simple and of high quality, which reduces development costs and improves the overall structural strength of the clothing processing device.

[0084] 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 4 is detachably disposed inside the first inner tub 31, and a washing component is detachably disposed on the mounting frame 4; a pulsator 10 or a washer 10 is rotatably disposed inside the second inner tub 32; the washing component 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.

[0085] <Waterfall Washing Structure>

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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.
