Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical equipment technology, specifically, it relates to a sterilization device, a dispensing box assembly, and a clothing treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] "Clothing handling devices" refers to a general term for a class of household appliances that can perform washing programs, such as washing machines and washer-dryer combos.

[0003] Ordinary laundry detergents use tap water to dissolve laundry powder or detergent to wash clothes. However, both tap water and the clothes being washed contain organic pollutants such as viruses, bacteria, mold, and microorganisms, which are difficult for detergents to kill.

[0004] Therefore, viruses, bacteria, mold, and microorganisms can accumulate inside the garment processing device and multiply, resulting in a large amount of organic pollutants inside the device, which affects the washing effect and may even endanger the user's health.

[0005] In light of this, some garment cleaning devices have added ozone generators to achieve ozone sterilization. However, due to the low concentration and density of ozone gas, the ozone entering the water quickly escapes, resulting in a short contact time and a small amount of ozone dissolving into the water. Since garment sterilization is achieved through ozonated water, the low ozone concentration in the water naturally leads to poor sterilization and fails to achieve the desired effect.

[0006] In addition, some garment processing devices are equipped with sterilization devices containing sterilizing substances. These substances release sterilizing agents into the garment processing device to sterilize and disinfect its interior. Examples of such sterilizing agents include glass and ceramics that release slow-release silver ions.

[0007] However, during transportation, installation, and sales, the sterilization substance in the sterilization device is prone to vibration and collision, producing sterilization substance debris and particles. These debris and particles can easily damage the components of the garment treatment device and cut users.

[0008] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization device that prevents sterilization substance debris generated by vibration and collision from scattering throughout the device. Another purpose of this invention is to provide a dispensing box assembly that releases sterilization substances to sterilize and disinfect wash water without producing sterilization substance debris. A further purpose of this invention is to provide a garment treatment device that provides sterilization and disinfection functions without scattering sterilization substance debris throughout the device.

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0011] A sterilization device, comprising:

[0012] The shell has an internal cavity for holding the bactericidal substance.

[0013] The slow-release pores, located on the shell wall, are used to release the slow-release bactericidal substance to the outside of the shell.

[0014] It also includes a tray, which is set inside the housing cavity to hold the bactericidal substance.

[0015] Furthermore, the tray has a groove structure, with the open end of the groove structure facing the top of the shell;

[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the groove structure is horizontally positioned.

[0017] Furthermore, the groove structure includes a bottom wall and a side wall extending upward from the edge of the bottom wall, and the side wall of the groove structure is connected to the side wall of the housing;

[0018] Preferably, the upper end of the groove structure sidewall is connected to the sidewall of the housing;

[0019] Preferably, the sidewalls of the groove structure are inclined from top to bottom.

[0020] Furthermore, the tray is disposed between the top and bottom walls of the housing to divide the receiving cavity into upper and lower chambers, and the slow-release holes are distributed at least on the shell wall of the upper chamber housing;

[0021] And / or, the upper and lower chambers are connected, and the slow-release orifices are distributed at least on the shell wall of the lower chamber housing;

[0022] Preferably, the tray avoids the connection between the slow-release hole and the housing.

[0023] The present invention also provides a dispensing box assembly, including a dispensing box chamber and a dispensing box disposed in the dispensing box chamber for containing a clothing treatment agent, and further including a sterilization device as described in any of the above technical solutions, wherein the sterilization device is disposed in the dispensing box chamber.

[0024] Furthermore, the dispensing box chamber has an inlet end and an outlet end that are arranged opposite to each other, the dispensing box is disposed between the inlet end and the outlet end, and the sterilization device is disposed between the dispensing box and the outlet end.

[0025] Furthermore, the housing of the sterilization device includes a first shell wall and a second shell wall disposed opposite to each other, the slow-release hole being formed on the first shell wall and the second shell wall, and the first shell wall and the second shell wall being disposed facing the dispensing box and the water outlet respectively.

[0026] Furthermore, the dispensing box assembly also includes a water outlet channel, which is disposed on the bottom wall of the dispensing box chamber and is vertically opposite to the sterilization device, for guiding the water flowing out of the sterilization device to the water outlet end of the dispensing box chamber.

[0027] Preferably, the water outlet channel extends from the water inlet end to the water outlet end.

[0028] Furthermore, the sterilization device is detachably connected to the dispensing box chamber;

[0029] Preferably, the dispensing box cavity is provided with an installation groove, and the sterilization device is installed in the installation groove.

[0030] The present invention also provides a garment processing device having a dispensing box assembly as described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0032] In this invention, a tray is used to hold the sterilizing substance, which prevents the sterilizing substance debris generated by vibration and collision from scattering around the sterilization device and causing the sterilization device to be blocked or damaged by the sterilizing substance debris.

[0033] In this invention, by setting the tray as a groove structure, the groove structure can collect and hold the bactericidal particles generated by the bactericidal substance.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0048] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this invention discloses a sterilization device 1, a dispensing box assembly 2, and a clothing treatment device. The sterilization device 1 includes:

[0050] The shell 11 has an internal cavity for containing the bactericidal substance 12;

[0051] The slow-release pore 13 is formed on the shell wall of the shell 11 and is used to release the slow-release bactericidal substance 12 to the outside of the shell 11.

[0052] The tray 14 is disposed in the receiving cavity of the housing 11 and is used to hold the bactericidal substance 12.

[0053] The bactericidal substance 12 in this invention includes bactericidal particles. These bactericidal particles can release bactericidal substances into water upon contact with it.

[0054] For example, the bactericidal substance is silver-containing phosphate glass. Silver-containing phosphate glass can slowly dissolve in water, releasing silver ions to achieve the purpose of antibacterial action.

[0055] Specifically, silver ions can strongly attract the sulfhydryl groups (-SH) on bacterial proteases, rapidly binding to them and causing the proteases to lose activity, leading to bacterial death. After the bacteria are killed by silver ions, the silver ions are released from the bacterial corpses and come into contact with other colonies, repeating the above process cyclically.

[0056] Therefore, silver ions have a long-lasting bactericidal effect, and trace amounts of silver ions are harmless to the human body. In summary, using silver ions as a bactericidal substance not only has a good bactericidal effect and is harmless to the human body, but also has a long-lasting effect, high bactericidal efficiency, and good results.

[0057] In this invention, a tray 14 is used to hold the sterilizing substance 12, preventing the sterilizing substance debris generated by the vibration and collision of the sterilizing substance 12 from scattering throughout the sterilization device 1 and causing the sterilization device 1 to be blocked or damaged by the debris of the sterilizing substance 12. At the same time, the tray 14 also prevents the debris of the sterilizing substance 12 from scratching the user.

[0058] As one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the tray 14 has a groove structure, with the open end of the groove structure facing the top of the housing 11. Specifically, the housing 11 includes a top wall 112, and the open end of the groove structure faces the top wall 112.

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting the tray 14 as a groove structure, the groove structure can collect and hold the bactericidal particles 121 generated by the bactericidal substance. The bactericidal particles 121 are concentrated in the groove structure, making them less likely to scatter and cause blockage of the slow-release pores 13.

[0060] In one embodiment of this invention, the groove structure includes a bottom wall 141 and a side wall 142 extending upward from the edge of the bottom wall 141. The side wall 142 is connected to the inner side wall 111 of the housing.

[0061] In this embodiment, the sidewall 142 of the groove structure is connected to the inner sidewall 111 of the shell, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the groove structure, and the installation structure is simple.

[0062] Furthermore, the upper end 1421 of the groove structure sidewall is connected to the inner sidewall 111 of the housing. This achieves the installation of the tray 14 without causing the connection part to occupy a large area of ​​the inner sidewall 111 of the housing.

[0063] Preferably, the groove structure sidewall 142 is inclined from top to bottom. More preferably, the groove structure sidewall 142 is inclined from top to bottom toward the inside of the housing 11.

[0064] In this configuration, the groove structure is connected to the shell 11, and a gap is created between the side wall 142 of the groove structure and the inner side wall 111 of the shell. The gap allows water to flow through, flushing the bactericidal substance 12, slowly releasing the bactericidal substance, and improving the inflow and outflow efficiency of water in the shell 11.

[0065] In another embodiment of the present invention, the tray 14 is disposed between the top wall 112 and the bottom wall 113 of the housing, dividing the receiving cavity into upper and lower chambers. The slow-release holes 13 are distributed at least on the shell wall of the upper chamber corresponding to the housing.

[0066] Specifically, the tray 14, the top wall 112 of the housing, and the inner sidewall 111 of the housing form the upper chamber, and the slow-release holes 13 are distributed on the inner sidewall 111 of the housing above the tray 14.

[0067] In this embodiment, the bactericidal substance contained in the tray 14 is located in the upper chamber. The slow-release holes 13 are distributed on the shell wall of the upper chamber corresponding to the shell, allowing water to enter the upper chamber through the slow-release holes 13 to dissolve the bactericidal substance in the upper chamber. The water containing the bactericidal substance can be output through the slow-release holes 13 for sterilization and disinfection.

[0068] In another embodiment of the present invention, the upper and lower chambers are connected, and the slow-release holes 13 are distributed at least on the shell wall of the lower chamber housing.

[0069] In this embodiment, the upper and lower chambers are connected, allowing water to be exchanged between them. Slow-release holes 13 are distributed at least on the shell wall of the lower chamber housing, allowing water within the housing 11 to be released through the slow-release holes 13 on the shell wall of the lower chamber housing.

[0070] Preferably, the upper and lower chambers are connected, and the slow-release holes 13 are distributed on the shell walls of the upper and lower chambers. This allows water to enter and exit through the slow-release holes 13 in both the upper and lower chambers, improving the efficiency of water exchange between the inside and outside of the shell 11.

[0071] In one embodiment of this invention, the tray 14 avoids the connection between the release hole 13 and the housing 11. Specifically, the tray 14 is connected to the housing 11, and there is a certain gap between the connection between the tray 14 and the housing 11 and the release hole 13 on the housing 11.

[0072] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, two rows of slow-release holes 13 are formed on the inner sidewall 111 of the shell, above the upper end 1421 of the groove structure sidewall. Several rows of slow-release holes 13 are formed on the inner sidewall 111 of the shell, below the upper end 1421 of the groove structure sidewall. The upper end 1421 of the groove structure sidewall is positioned between two adjacent rows of slow-release holes 13 and does not obstruct the slow-release holes 13.

[0073] In this embodiment, the tray 14 avoids the connection between the slow-release hole 13 and the inner wall 111 of the housing, thus preventing the tray 14 from blocking the slow-release hole 13. The unblocked slow-release hole 13 has high water permeability, enabling efficient exchange of water between the inside and outside of the housing 11.

[0074] As another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sterilization device 1 has a housing opening 115 on its housing 11 and a cover 15 that is openable and closable on the housing opening 115.

[0075] Specifically, the edge of the shell opening 115 is provided with several buckles 116, and the cover 15 is secured to the shell opening 115 by the buckles 116. Preferably, the cover 15 has several slow-release holes 13.

[0076] In this embodiment, the shell opening 115 facilitates the user's placement and removal of the tray 14. The cover 15 enables the opening and closing of the shell opening 115. When the user needs to remove the tray 14, the cover 15 can be opened for easy cleaning and replacement. When the user does not need to remove the tray 14, the cover 15 can be secured to the shell opening 115 to prevent leakage of the disinfectant.

[0077] In this embodiment, a plurality of slow-release holes 13 are provided on the cover 15, which realizes the exchange of water between the inside and outside of the shell by means of the slow-release holes 13, which helps to improve the efficiency of water exchange.

[0078] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also discloses a dispensing box assembly 2. The dispensing box assembly 2 includes:

[0079] A dispensing box is used to hold laundry treatment agents, including detergents, fabric softeners, etc.; the dispensing box includes a detergent dispenser 21 and a fabric softener dispenser 22, etc.

[0080] Dispensing box chamber 26 is used to accommodate the dispensing box;

[0081] The sterilization device 1 is installed inside the dispensing box chamber 26.

[0082] Specifically, the sterilization device 1 is connected to the dispensing box chamber 26 through the slow-release hole 13 to realize the exchange of water between the sterilization device 1 and the dispensing box chamber 26.

[0083] The present invention provides a sterilization device 1, which allows the sterilizing substance in the sterilization device 1 to enter the dispensing box chamber 26 and sterilize the water flowing through the dispensing box chamber 26.

[0084] The water flow in the injection chamber 26 carries the bactericidal substance into the clothing treatment device, which can sterilize and disinfect the inside of the clothing treatment device and prevent the accumulation of harmful substances such as viruses, bacteria, mold, and microorganisms inside the clothing treatment device.

[0085] The dispensing box assembly 2 of the present invention can not only release bactericidal substances to sterilize and disinfect the washing water, but also does not produce debris of bactericidal substances 12.

[0086] As one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the dispensing box chamber 26 has an inlet end 23 and an outlet end 24 disposed opposite to each other. The dispensing box is disposed between the inlet end 23 and the outlet end 24. The sterilization device 1 is disposed between the dispensing box and the outlet end 24.

[0087] Preferably, the sterilization device 1 is disposed between the fabric softener box 22 and the water outlet 24.

[0088] In this embodiment, by placing the sterilization device 1 between the dispensing box and the water outlet 24, the water flowing out of the dispensing box passes through the sterilization device 1 and flows out of the water outlet 24. Thus, the water flowing into the dispensing box chamber 26 from the water inlet 23 first enters the dispensing box, rinsing and carrying away the laundry detergent, then flows through the sterilization device 1, where some of the sterilizing agent dissolves, before flowing out of the water outlet 24. This ensures that the water flowing out of the water outlet 24 contains both the laundry detergent and has sterilization and disinfection functions.

[0089] As one embodiment of this invention, the housing 11 of the sterilization device 1 includes a first shell wall and a second shell wall 114 disposed opposite to each other. The slow-release hole 13 is formed on the first shell wall and the second shell wall 114. The first shell wall and the second shell wall 114 are respectively disposed toward the dispensing box and the water outlet 24.

[0090] Specifically, the first shell wall may be formed by the cover 15.

[0091] In this embodiment, by opening the slow-release holes 13 on the first shell wall and the second shell wall 114, and with the first shell wall and the second shell wall 114 respectively facing the dispensing box and the water outlet 24, the water flowing out of the dispensing box can enter the housing 11 of the sterilization device 1 through the slow-release holes 13 on the first shell wall. After the water in the housing 11 dissolves the sterilizing substance 12, it flows out through the slow-release holes 13 on the second shell wall 114 and flows to the clothing treatment device through the water outlet 24. In this embodiment, the water flow efficiency is high, and the water flow carries a sufficient amount of clothing treatment agent and sterilizing substance.

[0092] In another embodiment of the present invention, the dispensing box assembly 2 further includes a water outlet channel 25. The water outlet channel 25 is disposed on the bottom wall 261 of the dispensing box chamber and is vertically opposite to the sterilization device 1, and is used to guide the water flowing out of the sterilization device 1 to the water outlet end 24 of the dispensing box chamber 26.

[0093] Preferably, the water outlet channel 25 extends from the water inlet end 23 to the water outlet end 24.

[0094] In this embodiment, by providing a water outlet channel 25 on the bottom wall 261 of the dispensing box chamber, the water flowing out of the sterilization device 1 is guided to the water outlet 24, which avoids the water flowing around in the dispensing box chamber 26 and improves the water outflow efficiency.

[0095] In another embodiment of the present invention, the sterilization device 1 is detachably connected to the dispensing box chamber 26; specifically, an installation groove is provided in the dispensing box chamber, and the sterilization device 1 is fitted into the installation groove.

[0096] In this embodiment, by fixing the sterilization device 1 in the mounting groove, the sterilization device 1 is installed and fixed, and the installation structure is stable and reliable, reducing the vibration and collision of the sterilization device 1, and further reducing the generation of sterilization substance 12 debris.

[0097] As one implementation method of this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the dispensing box assembly also includes an overflow plate 27 and a mounting plate 28. The overflow plate 27 and the mounting plate 28 are arranged perpendicular to the bottom wall 261 of the dispensing box chamber. The overflow plate 27 and the mounting plate 28 are parallel and spaced apart. The overflow plate 27, the mounting plate 28, and the bottom wall 261 of the dispensing box chamber form the mounting groove.

[0098] Furthermore, the mounting plate 28 is provided with mounting holes 281, and mounting protrusions 117 are provided on the outer wall surface of the housing 11 of the sterilization device 1. The mounting protrusions 117 are engaged in the mounting holes 281 to achieve a detachable connection between the sterilization device 1 and the mounting plate 28. Preferably, the mounting protrusions 117 are provided on the second housing wall 114.

[0099] In this embodiment, the water flowing out of the dosing box overflows into the mounting groove via the overflow plate 27, and then enters the sterilization device 1 through the slow-release hole 13. After dissolving part of the sterilizing substance inside the sterilization device 1, the water flows out through the slow-release hole 13. In this embodiment, the dissolution and slow-release efficiency of the sterilizing substance 12 is high, and the installation method of the sterilization device 1 is simple, making it easy to disassemble and replace.

[0100] The present invention also provides a garment processing device having a dispensing box assembly as described in any of the above technical solutions.

[0101] Specifically, the garment treatment device includes a water inlet system that is connected to a dispensing box assembly and provides water flow into the dispensing box assembly. The water flow carries the garment treatment agent and slow-release bactericidal substance in the dispensing box assembly into the washing tub of the garment treatment device, so that the garment treatment agent and bactericidal substance can act on the clothes in the washing tub.

[0102] The clothing treatment device of the present invention has a sterilization and disinfection function, and the fragments of the sterilizing substance will not scatter around inside the clothing treatment device, thus avoiding damage to the clothing treatment device or injury to the user caused by the fragments of the sterilizing substance.

[0103] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
