In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprises a..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system comprising the element.

[0063] When washing underwear and other close-fitting garments in existing washing machines, the lack of garment shaping parts causes the garments to pile up, reducing the contact area between the garments and the wash water, lowering washing efficiency, and causing deformation and surface wear of the garments. Furthermore, the detergent is unevenly dispensed, preventing the detergent from fully contacting the garments, resulting in inadequate use of the detergent and incomplete washing.

[0064] The present invention creatively provides a washing component, including a kneading frame and a kneading outer layer; the outer contour of the kneading frame is formed with a contoured structure that is adapted to a preset washing object, which supports the preset washing object, so that the preset washing object maintains its original shape during the washing process, avoiding deformation and surface wear of the preset washing object; a liquid outlet is formed on the contoured structure; a branch channel is formed inside the kneading frame, and the liquid outlet end of the branch channel is connected to the liquid outlet; the kneading outer layer is sleeved on the outside of the contoured structure, which increases the contact area between the preset washing object and the washing water, and the kneading outer layer can wash the inner side of the preset washing object, thereby improving the washing effect; the kneading outer layer is formed with a drain port, which is connected to the liquid outlet; during washing, the outer side of the kneading outer layer is sleeved with a preset washing object, and the fluid in the branch channel can be sprayed toward the preset washing object through the liquid outlet and the drain port; the fluid is fully contacted with the preset washing object, thereby improving the utilization rate of the fluid and washing the preset washing object more thoroughly.

[0065] <Washing components>

[0066] like Figure 1a 、 Figure 1b and Figure 1c As shown, this embodiment provides a washing assembly, including a kneading frame and a kneading outer layer 552; the outer contour of the kneading frame is formed with a contoured structure adapted to a preset washing object, and the contoured structure can be used to support the preset washing object; preferably, the preset washing object is a bra, and the outer contour of the kneading frame is formed with a structure imitating a bra cup; when washing the bra, the contoured structure can support and fix the bra, so that the bra maintains its original shape, avoids deformation and surface wear of the bra, and at the same time expands the contact area between the bra and the washing water, thereby improving the washing effect of the bra; a liquid outlet 5511 is formed on the contoured structure; a branch channel is formed inside the kneading frame, and the liquid outlet end of the branch channel is connected to the liquid outlet 5511; the fluid in the branch channel can be discharged through the liquid outlet 5511;

[0067] The kneading and washing outer layer 552 is sleeved on the outer side of the contoured structure and is formed with a liquid discharge port 5522, which is connected to the liquid outlet 5511. During washing, a predetermined washing object is sleeved on the outer side of the kneading and washing outer layer 552, and the fluid in the branch channel can be sprayed toward the predetermined washing object through the liquid outlet 5511 and the liquid discharge port 5522. This achieves targeted fluid delivery, allowing the fluid to fully contact the predetermined washing object, thereby improving fluid utilization and washing the predetermined washing object more thoroughly.

[0068] Specifically, the fluid may be detergent or water or other fluid that can treat clothes; preferably, the fluid is detergent.

[0069] In another embodiment, the liquid outlets 5511 and the branch channels are both included in plurality, and the liquid outlets 5511 are evenly arranged along the extension direction of the contoured structure. The fluid in the branch channels can be discharged through the plurality of liquid outlets 5511 and evenly distributed on the preset washing objects.

[0070] like Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, in order to solve the problem of inaccurate fluid delivery, this embodiment proposes that a main channel 5711 is further formed inside the kneading and washing rack, and the liquid outlet end of the main channel 5711 is connected to the liquid inlet end of the branch channel; the washing component also includes a delivery mechanism 11, which acts on the fluid in the main channel 5711; when the delivery mechanism 11 makes the fluid pressure in the main channel 5711 less than the preset pressure, the external fluid can enter the main channel 5711; when the delivery mechanism 11 makes the fluid pressure in the main channel 5711 greater than the preset pressure, the fluid in the main channel 5711 can enter the branch channel; by operating the delivery mechanism 11, the fluid can enter the main channel 5711 and the fluid can enter the branch channel from the main channel 5711, thereby realizing the delivery of the fluid.

[0071] To address the problem of a complex structure of the fluid dispensing mechanism 11, this embodiment proposes that the dispensing mechanism 11 includes a piston rod 111 and a piston 112. The piston 112 is connected to the piston rod 111 and is slidably disposed within the main channel 5711. The piston 112 is located near the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711. A sealing ring 113 is provided between the piston 112 and the main channel 5711 to prevent the fluid in the main channel 5711 from flowing from one side of the piston 112 to the other side of the piston 112, thereby preventing the dispensing mechanism 11 from malfunctioning and the fluid dispensing amount from being inaccurate.

[0072] When the piston rod 111 moves and causes the piston 112 to move along the main channel 5711 away from the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711, the fluid pressure in the main channel 5711 decreases, and at this time, the external fluid can enter the main channel 5711 through the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711; when the piston rod 111 moves and causes the piston 112 to move along the main channel 5711 close to the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711, the fluid pressure in the main channel 5711 increases, and at this time, the fluid in the main channel 5711 can enter the branch channel through the liquid inlet end of the branch channel.

[0073] Furthermore, the dispensing mechanism 11 further includes a main channel one-way valve 114 and a branch channel one-way valve, both of which are one-way rubber valves; the main channel one-way valve 114 is arranged at the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711 to prevent the fluid in the main channel 5711 from flowing back into the liquid storage chamber 581; the branch channel one-way valve is arranged at the liquid inlet end of the branch channel to prevent the fluid in the branch channel from flowing back into the main channel 5711; the piston 112 moves away from the main channel 5711 When the piston 112 moves and approaches the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711, the branch channel one-way valve 114 closes the liquid inlet end of the branch channel, and the main channel one-way valve 114 opens the liquid inlet end of the branch channel, and the external fluid can enter the main channel 5711 through the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711; when the piston 112 moves and approaches the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711, the main channel one-way valve 114 closes the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711, and the branch channel one-way valve opens the liquid inlet end of the branch channel, and the fluid in the main channel 5711 can enter the branch channel through the liquid inlet end of the branch channel.

[0074] To address the problem that the piston rod 111 cannot achieve reciprocating motion, this embodiment proposes that one end of the piston rod 111 is connected to the piston 112; the other end of the piston rod 111 is an active end, and operating the active end can move the piston rod 111 in a direction close to the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711; the dispensing mechanism 11 also includes an elastic member 115, one end of the elastic member 115 is connected to the piston 112, and the other end of the elastic member 115 is connected to the main channel one-way valve 114;

[0075] When external force acts on the action end and causes the piston rod 111 to carry the piston 112 close to the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711, the elastic member 115 stores energy; when the external force does not act on the action end, the elastic member 115 releases energy and causes the piston rod 111 and the piston 112 to move away from the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711; the structure and operation are simple, the connection is reliable, and the amount of fluid delivered can be adjusted by adjusting the movement displacement of the piston rod 111 to achieve precise fluid delivery.

[0076] To address the inconvenience of adding fluid, this embodiment proposes that the washing assembly further includes a connector 51, which is formed with a liquid storage chamber 581 and a kneading rack mounting hole 515; the liquid storage chamber 581 is used to store fluid and includes a liquid storage chamber outlet 5812 connected to the liquid storage chamber 581, and the liquid storage chamber outlet 5812 is formed on the side wall of the kneading rack mounting hole 515;

[0077] The kneading and washing frame is arranged in the kneading and washing frame mounting hole 515 and is fixedly connected or movably connected to the plug-in connector 51 through a limiting structure; the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711 is connected to the liquid storage cavity outlet 5812;

[0078] When the main channel one-way valve 114 opens the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711 , the fluid in the liquid storage chamber 581 enters the main channel 5711 through the liquid storage chamber outlet 5812 and the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711 ;

[0079] Specifically, a fluid addition port 5811 is formed on the top of the connector 51, and the fluid addition port 5811 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 581, and fluid can be added to the liquid storage chamber 581 through the fluid addition port 5811; the liquid storage chamber outlet 5812 is arranged at the bottom of the side wall of the kneading rack mounting hole 515; the side wall of the liquid storage chamber 581 is formed with a liquid level gauge mounting port, and a liquid level gauge is provided at the liquid level gauge mounting port to facilitate observation of the liquid level of the fluid in the liquid storage chamber 581.

[0080] In order to solve the problem of unreliable connection between the rubbing rack and the connector 51, the present embodiment proposes that the connector 51 forms a limiting sleeve mounting hole 582; the limiting structure includes a limiting sleeve 59, and the outer side of the limiting sleeve 59 is formed with a connecting portion 591 and a limiting portion 592; the connecting portion 591 is arranged in the limiting sleeve mounting hole 582 for connecting the limiting sleeve 59 to the connector 51; the limiting portion 592 is arranged at one end of the main channel 5711 close to the limiting sleeve mounting hole 582 for the limiting sleeve 59 to The limiting function between the kneading and washing frames prevents the kneading and washing frames from being separated from the connector 51; specifically, the limiting sleeve mounting hole 582 is located at the top of the connector 51, and the bottom of the limiting sleeve mounting hole 582 is connected to the kneading and washing frame mounting hole 515; the connecting part 591 includes a sleeve mounting seat, and a sleeve seat hole is formed at the top of the limiting sleeve mounting hole 582, and the sleeve mounting seat is arranged in the sleeve seat hole; the limiting part 592 is a cylindrical structure, embedded in the end of the main channel 5711 away from the liquid inlet end of the main channel 5711.

[0081] Furthermore, a piston rod through hole 593 is formed inside the limiting sleeve 59 ; one end of the piston rod 111 passes through the piston rod through hole 593 to the top of the connector 51 .

[0082] To address the inconvenience of operating the piston rod 111, this embodiment proposes that a connector heart beam 561 is provided on the top of the connector 51.

[0088] <Connection between mounting bracket and connector>

[0089] like Figure 5a and Figure 5b 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; a mounting structure is formed between the mounting bracket 4 and the plug-in component 51, and the mounting structure is constructed to push the plug-in component 51 toward the bottom wall of the washing tub along the axial direction of the washing tub, so that the plug-in component 51 can be installed on the mounting bracket 4; it is convenient for installing and removing the plug-in component 51; the mounting bracket 4 includes two vertical beams 41, the outer walls of the vertical beams 41 are connected to the inner walls of the washing tub; the inner walls of the vertical beams 41 are formed with a mounting bracket guide structure 411; a plug-in component guide structure 511 is formed on the side of the plug-in component 51 close to the vertical beam 41, and the mounting bracket guide structure 411 cooperates with the plug-in component guide structure 511, so that the mounting bracket 4 guides the plug-in component 51;

[0090] Specifically, the mounting frame guide structure 411 is a guide rail groove, which is formed by the inner side wall of the vertical beam 41 being concave toward the outer side wall of the vertical beam 41, and the guide rail groove extends along the axial direction of the washing tub; the connector guide structure 511 is a guide protrusion, which is formed by the side wall of the connector 51 protruding toward the vertical beam 41, and the guide protrusion extends along the axial direction of the washing tub; the structure of the guide rail groove is compatible with the structure of the guide protrusion.

[0091] Furthermore, a top wall limiting column 412 is formed at the top of the inner wall of the vertical beam 41, and the top wall limiting column 412 extends upward from the vertical beam 41 and corresponds to the guide rail groove; a top wall limiting column groove 512 is formed on the side of the top wall of the connector 51 close to the vertical beam 41, and the top wall limiting column groove 512 corresponds to the guide protrusion; the top wall limiting column 412 cooperates with the top wall limiting column groove 512, so that the mounting frame 4 limits the connector 51.

[0092] In addition, the vertical beam 41 also forms a vertical beam transition section, which is located between the guide rail groove and the top wall limit column 412 and connects the guide rail groove and the top wall limit column 412; the connector 51 also forms a connector transition section, which is located between the guide protrusion and the top wall limit column groove 512 and connects the guide protrusion and the top wall limit column groove 512; the vertical beam transition section cooperates with the connector transition section, so that the mounting frame 4 plays a limiting role on the connector 51.

[0093] In order to solve the problem of unreliable connection between the mounting frame 4 and the connector 51, the present embodiment proposes that the mounting frame 4 also includes a transverse beam 42 connected to the vertical beam 41; a mounting frame positioning structure 421 is provided on the top of the transverse beam 42, and a connector positioning structure 513 is provided on the side of the connector 51 close to the transverse beam 42; the mounting frame positioning structure 421 cooperates with the connector positioning structure 513 to connect the mounting frame 4 and the connector 51; preferably, the two vertical beams 41 and the transverse beam 42 form a U-shaped structure; to avoid the problem that during the washing process of the preset washing object, the connector 51 moves relative to the mounting frame 4 to generate noise, and the connector 51 separates from the mounting frame 4, resulting in the profiling portion 551 being unable to effectively wash the preset washing object.

[0094] Specifically, the mounting frame positioning structure 421 is formed with a snap protrusion 4211 and a snap groove 4212, and the snap groove 4212 is located at the bottom of the snap protrusion 4211; the connector 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 frame positioning structure 421 and the connector positioning structure 513 are matched, the snap protrusion 4211 is embedded in the bow head cavity 5132, and the bow head body 5131 is embedded in the snap groove 4212, thereby realizing a reliable connection between the transverse beam 42 and the connector 51.

[0095] The mounting frame 4 is provided with a water-diverting structure on both sides of the position where the connector 51 is plugged in. When the mounting frame 4 rotates with the washing tub, the water-diverting structure can divert the water in the washing tub to form washing water with different flow states, so that the washing water can provide washing forces of different directions and sizes to the preset washing objects, thereby increasing the washing coverage and washing effect, and can be used to wash ordinary clothes.

[0096] In order to solve the problem of large resistance of the mounting rack 4 during washing, the present embodiment proposes that the vertical beam 41 is formed with a mounting rack water hole 413, which extends along the circumference of the washing tub and passes through the vertical beam 41; along the circumference of the washing tub, water on one side of the mounting rack 4 can enter the other side of the mounting rack 4 through the mounting rack water hole 413; thereby reducing the problem of large resistance of washing water during washing, forming washing water of different flow directions and sizes in the washing tub, enhancing the washing power of the washing water, and improving the washing effect.

[0097] In order to address the problem that the mounting frame 4 is easily deformed due to its low structural strength, this embodiment proposes that a plurality of mounting frame reinforcement ribs are formed on one side of the vertical beam 41 close to the side wall of the washing tub; the free ends of at least a portion of the plurality of reinforcement ribs are arranged to form a mounting frame water hole 413; preferably, the plurality of mounting frame reinforcement ribs are arranged in a crisscross manner.

[0099] It should be noted that the connector 51 and the mounting bracket 4 can be integrally formed, and the molding process is simple and high-quality, which reduces development costs and improves the overall structural strength of the clothing processing device.

[0105] To address the problem of poor washing effect of the kneading outer layer 552, this embodiment proposes that the outer side surface of the kneading outer layer 552 is formed with kneading protrusions 5521 or kneading ribs 5521, and the free ends of the kneading protrusions 5521 or kneading ribs 5521 are formed into a structure adapted to the preset washing object; a certain gap is formed between the outer side surface of the kneading outer layer 552 and the inner side surface of the preset washing object, so that washing water can enter the gap, and friction movement occurs between the kneading protrusions 5521 or kneading ribs 5521 and the preset washing object, thereby fully and thoroughly washing the preset washing object and achieving good washing effect; in addition, the preset washing object can be supported to prevent the preset washing object from being deformed during the washing process;

[0106] The plurality of kneading protrusions 5521 form a plurality of kneading protrusion groups 5521, wherein the plurality of kneading protrusions 5521 in each kneading protrusion group 5521 are sequentially arranged along the circumference of the corresponding circle; and the circles where the kneading protrusions 5521 in different groups are located are arranged concentrically. Preferably, the kneading protrusions 5521 are cylindrical or conical structures.
