Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of household appliance technology, specifically, it relates to an outer tub inner cover assembly and a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, washing machines achieve spraying by setting spray holes in the inner cover of the outer tub or setting spray devices in the tray base, etc. Some also set multiple nozzles to increase the spraying range, which undoubtedly increases the cost of the washing machine. Moreover, the nozzles are not easy to disassemble and install, increasing the difficulty of nozzle replacement and maintenance. The above spraying solutions can only spray the clothes inside the washing machine to achieve the corresponding spraying purpose.

[0003] A washing machine with application number CN201410107315.6 includes an outer tub and an inner tub located inside the outer tub. An outer tub cover is provided on the top of the outer tub. The washing machine includes a spray device, which includes a nozzle and a water supply pipe for supplying water from the outer tub to the nozzle. The nozzle is rotatably mounted on the outer tub cover.

[0004] This patent features multiple rotatable nozzles on the circumference of the outer tub lid, allowing the spray area of ​​each nozzle to be adjusted. However, because the position of the nozzles is fixed and the rotation angle is limited, the spray area of ​​each nozzle is small. Multiple nozzles are required to fully cover the inner tub, which not only increases the cost of the washing machine but also makes the control method for multiple nozzles more complex.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an outer barrel inner cover assembly. The present invention aims to solve the problem that the existing spray nozzles are mostly fixed and can only spray within a specific spray range, resulting in poor spraying effect, while setting multiple spray nozzles increases costs.

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the first aspect of this application discloses an outer barrel inner lid assembly, comprising:

[0008] Outer bucket inner lid;

[0009] The spraying mechanism is located on the inner cover of the outer tank and includes a drive unit and spray nozzles;

[0010] The inner cover of the outer barrel is provided with a clearance space to avoid the movement of the nozzle, and the drive unit can drive the nozzle to move within the clearance space according to a set spray trajectory.

[0011] Through the above design, the present invention enables the nozzle to move within the clearance space, thereby increasing the spraying range. The present invention can increase the spraying range by setting one nozzle, saving costs, and control the movement of one nozzle to achieve full coverage spraying of the inner barrel. The control method is simple and flexible, and the overall structure of the outer barrel inner cover assembly is simple and easy to use.

[0012] Furthermore, the spraying mechanism also includes:

[0013] A first transmission unit is connected to the output end of the drive unit, and the drive unit drives the first transmission unit to rotate in the horizontal direction;

[0014] The second transmission unit is connected at one end to the first transmission unit and at the other end to the nozzle, so as to drive the nozzle to move in the clearance space according to the set spray trajectory.

[0015] Preferably, the second transmission unit is a transmission link, the first end of which is connected to the first transmission unit and the second end is connected to the nozzle;

[0016] Preferably, the nozzle is a steam nozzle.

[0017] Through the above design, the present invention enables the nozzle to move within the clearance space via the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit. The first transmission unit and the second transmission unit are easy to manufacture and implement, and have good transmission effect.

[0018] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a drive motor; the first transmission unit includes:

[0019] An eccentric wheel is connected to the output end of the drive motor;

[0020] An eccentric shaft is disposed on the eccentric wheel near the outer peripheral edge and is connected to the end of the transmission connecting rod;

[0021] Alternatively, the first transmission unit includes:

[0022] The first gear is connected to the output end of the drive motor;

[0023] The second gear meshes with the first gear, and the diameter of the second gear is larger than that of the first gear.

[0024] The output shaft is located on the second gear near the outer peripheral edge and is connected to the end of the transmission link.

[0025] Through the above design, the first transmission unit of the present invention has two implementation structures. The appropriate first transmission unit can be selected according to actual needs. When the first transmission unit includes an eccentric wheel and an eccentric shaft, the structure of the first transmission unit is simple, easy to process, and easy to implement. When the first transmission unit includes a first gear, a second gear, and an output shaft, the design of multiple transmission gears makes the power transmission process smoother and less strenuous, increases the range of motion of the nozzle, and ensures that the transmission nozzle rotates at a stable speed.

[0026] Furthermore, the transmission link is detachably connected to the nozzle;

[0027] Preferably, the transmission link is engaged with the nozzle;

[0028] More preferably, the end of the transmission link is provided with a retaining ring structure with a notch, and the retaining ring structure is engaged with the upper end of the nozzle.

[0029] Through the above design, the present invention allows the nozzle to be detached from the inner cover of the outer barrel by means of the detachable connection between the transmission link and the nozzle. If the sprayed material is high-temperature and high-pressure steam, it can sterilize, disinfect, and iron clothes or items outside the clothing processing equipment at high temperatures, making the nozzle of the present invention more widely applicable and more versatile.

[0030] Furthermore, the spraying mechanism also includes: a mounting shell, fixed on the inner cover of the outer barrel, having a mounting cavity that can accommodate the first transmission unit and the drive unit.

[0031] Through the above design, the present invention integrates the first transmission unit and the drive unit into the mounting cavity of the mounting shell, which can protect the first transmission unit and the drive unit, and make the outer barrel inner cover assembly structure more compact and aesthetically pleasing.

[0032] Furthermore, it also includes a rotating support frame that rotatably supports and fixes the middle part of the transmission link, and the second end of the transmission link moves around the rotating support frame in the opposite direction to the first end of the transmission link;

[0033] Preferably, the rotating support frame includes,

[0034] A fixing base is fixed to the inner cover of the outer barrel and has a rotating slot inside;

[0035] The rotating frame is rotatably engaged with the fixed base. The upper end of the rotating frame is provided with a locking and limiting part that rotatably engages with the rotating slot, and the lower end is provided with a sliding groove through which the transmission connecting rod can pass.

[0036] Preferably, the rotating support frame is disposed on the side of the transmission link near the drive unit and fixed to the mounting housing.

[0037] Through the above design, the rotating support frame has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. The rotating support frame serves two purposes: firstly, it supports the connecting rod; secondly, it allows the second end of the transmission connecting rod to move in the opposite direction to the first end, thereby enabling the nozzle to overcome the pulling force of the steam pipe and complete the set spray trajectory. Specifically, the rotating frame provides both vertical fixed support and a fulcrum for movement, allowing the transmission connecting rods on both sides of the rotating frame to move in opposite directions around the frame. This enhances the movement effect of the nozzle within the clearance space, preventing the steam pipe from pulling on the nozzle and limiting its oscillation to a single direction, thus affecting the spraying effect.

[0038] Furthermore, the clearance space includes a clearance opening provided on the inner cover of the outer barrel, the nozzle is disposed in the clearance opening, and the drive unit is located on one side of the clearance opening;

[0039] Preferably, the clearance space further includes a reserved opening connected to the clearance opening, the reserved opening providing space for removing or installing the nozzle;

[0040] Preferably, the clearance opening is a circular opening located at the center of the inner cover of the outer barrel, and the reserved opening is located on the side of the clearance opening away from the drive unit.

[0041] With the above design, the clearance opening structure is simple and easy to process; in order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the nozzle, a reserved opening is also provided to communicate with the clearance opening, which facilitates the manual disassembly and assembly of the nozzle.

[0042] Furthermore, the drive unit and the first transmission unit are located at the center of the inner cover of the outer barrel;

[0043] The clearance space includes an annular clearance groove disposed on the outer periphery of the inner cover of the outer barrel, and the nozzle can move in a circular motion along the annular clearance groove under the drive of the drive unit.

[0044] Through the above design, the avoidance space of the present invention includes an annular avoidance groove, which gives the nozzle a larger movement space and increases the spraying range.

[0045] Furthermore, the inner lid of the outer barrel also includes:

[0046] A hinge is provided on one side edge of the inner cover of the outer barrel;

[0047] A handle unit is provided on the opposite side of the inner cover of the outer tub and the hinge part, for assisting in manually opening the inner cover of the outer tub;

[0048] Preferably, the handle unit is a handle groove provided on the upper surface of the inner cover of the outer barrel.

[0049] With the above design, in order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the inner lid of the outer bucket, a hinge part is provided on one side edge of the inner lid of the outer bucket, and the handle unit is located on the opposite side of the hinge part, so that the inner lid of the outer bucket can be opened easily and effortlessly.

[0050] A second aspect of this application also provides a garment processing device, including an outer tub inner cover assembly as described above.

[0051] With the above design, the connection between the outer tub inner cover assembly and the clothing processing equipment is simple. The outer tub inner cover assembly provided by the present invention reduces the cost of the clothing processing equipment and optimizes the spraying effect.

[0052] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0053] 1. The present invention provides an avoidance space on the inner cover of the outer barrel to avoid the movement of the spray head, so that the spray head can increase the spray range and improve the spraying effect by moving in the avoidance space.

[0054] 2. The present invention enables the spraying mechanism to move within the clearance space according to a set spraying trajectory through the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit.

[0055] 3. The nozzle of the present invention can be detachably mounted on the transmission link, so that the nozzle can spray not only the clothes inside the clothing processing equipment, but also the clothes or items outside the clothing processing equipment. In particular, when spraying high-temperature steam through the nozzle, it can perform disinfection, sterilization and ironing operations on the clothes or items outside the clothing processing equipment.

[0056] 4. This invention designs two types of clearance space structures, and the specific clearance space can be selected according to actual needs. The ultimate goal is to increase the spraying area and enhance the spraying effect by rotating the nozzle.

[0057] 5. The garment processing equipment of the present invention has a simple structure, and the connection structure between the outer drum inner cover and the garment processing equipment is simple, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the outer drum inner cover and saves costs.

[0058] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0073] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0074] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides an outer barrel inner lid assembly, comprising:

[0075] Outer bucket inner lid 1;

[0076] The spraying mechanism 2 is installed on the inner cover 1 of the outer tank and includes a drive unit 20 and a spray head 21;

[0077] The inner cover 1 of the outer barrel is provided with a clearance space 3 for avoiding the movement of the nozzle 21. The drive unit 20 can drive the nozzle 21 to move within the clearance space 3 according to a set spray trajectory.

[0078] This invention provides a simple and easy-to-manufacture outer barrel inner cover 1 assembly with spray nozzle 21. Unlike the prior art which sets multiple spray nozzles on the outer barrel cover 70 and adjusts the spray range by rotating the spray nozzles themselves, this invention sets the spray nozzle 21 on the outer barrel inner cover 1. By controlling the movement trajectory of the spray nozzle 21 on the outer barrel inner cover 1, the purpose of expanding the spray area is achieved. The outer barrel inner cover 1 has a simple structure and is easy to process.

[0079] To achieve the movement of the nozzle, further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the spraying mechanism 2 further includes:

[0080] The first transmission unit 22 is connected to the output end of the drive unit 20, and the drive unit 20 drives the first transmission unit 22 to rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0081] The second transmission unit 23 is connected at one end to the first transmission unit 22 and at the other end to the nozzle 21, so as to drive the nozzle 21 to move within the clearance space 3 according to the set spray trajectory.

[0082] Preferably, the second transmission unit 23 is a transmission link 230, the first end of which is connected to the first transmission unit 22 and the second end is connected to the nozzle 21;

[0083] Preferably, the nozzle is a steam nozzle.

[0084] Alternatively, the steam nozzle is equipped with an atomization adjustment head at its end, which allows manual adjustment of the water flow size and intensity, thereby controlling the spray size and atomization range.

[0085] This invention employs a first transmission unit 22, a second transmission unit 23, and a drive unit 20 in cooperation to drive the nozzle 21 to move within the clearance space 3 according to a set spray trajectory. The design is simple and easy to implement. This invention allows the drive unit 20, the first transmission unit 22, and the second transmission unit 23 to be positioned on the upper surface of the inner cover 1 of the outer tub. This facilitates assembly and disassembly, provides good load-bearing capacity, and prevents direct contact with moisture inside the outer tub, extending its service life. Specifically, the second transmission unit 23 is a transmission connecting rod 230, ensuring direct and efficient movement.

[0086] This invention uses a steam nozzle to spray clothes with high-temperature, high-pressure steam. By adjusting the direction or speed of the steam nozzle, it is possible to spray specific locations or uniformly on the clothes in the inner drum. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0087] Furthermore, the drive unit 20 includes a drive motor; the first transmission unit 22 includes:

[0088] Eccentric wheel 220 is connected to the output end of the drive motor;

[0089] An eccentric shaft 221 is disposed on the eccentric wheel 220 near the outer peripheral edge and is connected to the end of the transmission connecting rod 230;

[0090] Alternatively, the first transmission unit 22 includes:

[0091] The first gear 222 is connected to the output end of the drive motor;

[0092] The second gear 223 meshes with the first gear 222, and the diameter of the second gear 223 is larger than that of the first gear 222.

[0093] The output shaft 224 is disposed on the second gear 223 near the outer peripheral edge and is connected to the end of the transmission link 230.

[0094] The present invention provides a first transmission unit 22 with an eccentric wheel 220, which has a simple structure, few parts, light weight, and is easy to assemble and disassemble; the first transmission unit 22 with a first gear 222 and a second gear 223 provides stable transmission and saves effort. The first transmission unit 22 is not limited to the two implementations proposed in this invention; other structures with transmission functions suitable for application in this invention can also be used as the first transmission unit 22 of this invention.

[0095] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the transmission link 230 is detachably connected to the nozzle 21;

[0096] Preferably, the transmission link 230 is engaged with the nozzle 21;

[0097] More preferably, the end of the transmission link 230 is provided with a retaining ring structure 231 with a notch, and the retaining ring structure 231 is engaged with the upper end of the nozzle 21.

[0098] The present invention allows the nozzle 21 to be disassembled or installed at any time, so that the nozzle 21 can not only perform related spraying operations on clothes inside the clothing processing equipment, but also on clothes or items outside the clothing processing equipment. In particular, when the sprayed product is high-temperature steam, the high-temperature steam can be used to perform high-temperature sterilization, disinfection or ironing on clothes or items outside the clothing processing equipment, making the clothing processing equipment of the present invention versatile.

[0099] To engage with the retaining ring structure 231 at the end of the transmission connecting rod 230, the upper end of the nozzle 21 of the present invention is provided with an annular groove 210 that matches the retaining ring structure 231, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a connector is provided at the upper end of the nozzle 21, and the axial sidewall of the connector is recessed inward to form the annular groove 210.

[0100] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the spraying mechanism 2 further includes: a mounting shell 24, fixed on the inner cover 1 of the outer barrel, having a mounting cavity that can accommodate the first transmission unit 22 and the drive unit 20.

[0101] The present invention integrates the first transmission unit 22 and the drive unit 20 into the mounting shell 24, making the overall structure of the outer barrel assembly more compact and aesthetically pleasing, while also protecting the first transmission unit 22 and the drive unit 20.

[0102] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it also includes a rotating support frame 25, which rotatably supports and fixes the middle part of the transmission link 230, and the second end of the transmission link 230 moves around the rotating support frame 25 in the opposite direction to the first end of the transmission link 230.

[0103] Preferred, such as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the rotating support frame 25 includes,

[0104] A fixing seat 250 is fixed on the inner cover 1 of the outer barrel, and has a rotating slot 2500 inside;

[0105] The rotating frame 251 is rotatably engaged with the fixed base 250. The upper end of the rotating frame 251 is provided with a snap-fit ​​limiting part 2510 that rotatably engages with the rotating slot 2500, and the lower end is provided with a sliding groove 2511 through which the transmission connecting rod 230 can pass.

[0106] Preferably, the rotating support frame 25 is disposed on the side of the transmission link 230 near the drive unit 20 and fixed on the mounting housing 24.

[0107] More specifically, the fixing base 250 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top wall of the mounting shell 24 through the fixing parts on both sides. The fixing base 250 is provided with a mounting groove in the middle and a through hole in the bottom wall of the mounting groove. The mounting groove forms a rotating slot 2500.

[0108] The fixing part can be a threaded hole, which is bolted to the top wall of the mounting shell 24.

[0109] The locking and limiting part 2510 includes a rotating frame 251 body and a disc disposed on the top of the rotating frame 251. An inwardly recessed neck is provided between the disc and the rotating frame 251 body, and the neck is locked into the rotating slot 2500.

[0110] There may be a certain gap between the slide groove 2511 and the transmission connecting rod 230.

[0111] The present invention uses a rotating support frame 25 to both support and fix the transmission link 230 and serve as a fulcrum for the rotation of the two ends of the transmission link 230, thereby enabling the nozzle 21 to rotate within the clearance space 3. The rotating support frame 25 of the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and has significant effects in use.

[0112] Furthermore, the clearance space 3 includes a clearance opening 30 provided on the inner cover 1 of the outer barrel, the nozzle 21 is provided in the clearance opening 30, and the drive unit 20 is located on one side of the clearance opening 30.

[0113] Preferably, the clearance space 3 further includes a reserved opening 31 connected to the clearance opening 30, the reserved opening 31 providing reserved space for removing or installing the nozzle 21;

[0114] Preferably, the clearance opening 30 is a circular opening located at the center of the inner cover 1 of the outer barrel, and the reserved opening 31 is located on the side of the clearance opening away from the drive unit 20.

[0115] The clearance space 3 of the present invention has a simple structure, consisting only of clearance opening 30 set on the inner cover 1 of the outer barrel. It is easy to process and the size of clearance opening 30 can be set according to the actual situation. The size of clearance opening 30 is slightly larger than the actual circumferential movement trajectory of nozzle 21 to avoid collision between nozzle 21 and the side wall of clearance opening 30 when nozzle 21 makes circumferential movement according to the set trajectory.

[0116] In fact, the reserved opening 31 corresponds to the notch of the retaining ring structure 231. The notch of the retaining ring structure 231 is located at the end of the transmission connecting rod 230 away from the drive unit 20, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the nozzle 21.

[0117] Furthermore, the drive unit 20 and the first transmission unit 22 are located at the center of the inner cover 1 of the outer barrel;

[0118] The clearance space 3 includes an annular clearance groove 32 disposed on the outer periphery of the inner cover 1 of the outer barrel, and the nozzle 21 can move in a circle along the annular clearance groove 32 under the drive of the drive unit 20.

[0119] Preferably, the nozzle 21 moves in a circular motion approximately at a position half the radius of the inner cover 1 of the outer barrel;

[0120] Preferred, such as Figure 6 As shown, the rotating support frame 25 is located in the middle of the first transmission unit 22.

[0121] This invention proposes an alternative design for the clearance space 3. In this case, the annular clearance groove 32 is not connected, allowing the drive unit 20 and the first transmission unit 22 to be positioned at the center of the inner cover 1 of the outer tub. Positioning the annular clearance groove 32 near half the radius of the inner cover 1 of the outer tub allows for more even spraying of clothing, more comprehensive spray coverage, and better spraying effect. In this case, the notch in the retaining ring structure 231 of the transmission link 230 can face the annular clearance groove 32. This invention can also eliminate the need for the rotating support frame 25, such as... Figure 7As shown, the transmission connecting rod 230 is directly connected to the eccentric shaft 221 or the output shaft 224. In this case, the structure of the outer barrel inner cover 1 assembly is simpler.

[0122] The clearance space 3 of the present invention is not limited to the form provided in the present invention. Other spaces that can accommodate the nozzle 21 and facilitate the movement of the nozzle 21 can be considered as clearance space 3 of the present invention. The clearance space 3 of the present invention can be vertically continuous or can be matched with the shape of the nozzle 21. Further details will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can design the structure of clearance space 3 according to actual needs.

[0123] Furthermore, the inner lid 1 of the outer barrel also includes:

[0124] The hinge part 4 is provided on one side edge of the inner cover 1 of the outer barrel;

[0125] A handle unit 5 is provided on the opposite side of the inner cover 1 of the outer tub and the hinge part 4, and is used to assist in manually opening the inner cover 1 of the outer tub.

[0126] Preferably, the handle unit 5 is a handle groove provided on the upper surface of the inner cover 1 of the outer barrel.

[0127] The inner cover 1 of the outer barrel may also be provided with a storage slot for placing the pipeline connecting the nozzle 21. Those skilled in the art can make improvements based on existing technology, which will not be elaborated here.

[0128] The present invention also provides a garment processing device, such as... Figure 8 As shown, it includes the outer barrel inner cover 1 assembly as described above.

[0129] The garment processing device of the present invention further includes: a box body 6; an outer tub 7, disposed inside the box body 6 and having an opening; an inner tub 8, rotatably disposed inside the outer tub 7; and an outer tub cover 70, the outer tub cover 70 being an annular cover structure disposed on the opening of the outer tub, the inner side wall of the outer tub cover 70 being provided with an installation part that connects to the inner cover 1 of the outer tub.

[0130] The hinge portion 4 of the present invention can be a rotating shaft or a mounting hole. The mounting portion is a mounting hole or rotating shaft corresponding to the hinge portion 4, and the rotating shaft and the mounting hole are hinged together.

[0131] The present invention may also include a tray base 9, within which a steam pump 90 is installed. The steam pump 90 provides high-temperature, high-pressure steam. The steam pump 90 is equipped with a temperature limiter, a dry-burning prevention temperature sensor, a flow sensor, a pressure sensor, and an overcurrent protector, providing functions such as protection against high temperature, dry burning, overpressure, and overcurrent.
