Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment, and in particular relates to a sterilization device, a delivery box assembly and a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] "Clothing processing device" refers to a general term for a type of household appliances that can perform washing programs, such as washing machines, washer-dryers, etc.

[0003] Ordinary clothes processing devices use tap water to dissolve washing powder, detergent, etc. to wash clothes. Since tap water and clothes being washed contain some organic pollutants, such as viruses, bacteria, molds, and microorganisms, detergents such as washing powder and detergents are difficult to kill these viruses, bacteria, molds, and microorganisms.

[0004] Therefore, viruses, bacteria, molds, and microorganisms may accumulate in the clothing treatment device and reproduce, resulting in a large amount of organic pollutants inside the clothing treatment device, affecting the washing effect of the clothes and even endangering the health of the user.

[0005] In light of this, some clothing treatment devices currently incorporate ozone generators to achieve ozone sterilization. However, due to the low concentration and density of ozone gas, ozone that enters the water quickly escapes from the water, resulting in a short contact time with the water and a small amount of ozone that can dissolve in the water. Since clothing sterilization is achieved through ozone water, the low ozone concentration in the water naturally results in a poor sterilization effect, failing to achieve the desired effect.

[0006] In addition, some clothing processing devices are equipped with a sterilization device that contains a sterilizing substance that can release the sterilizing substance into the clothing processing device to sterilize and disinfect the interior of the clothing processing device. For example, the sterilizing substance is glass or ceramic that slowly releases silver ions.

[0007] However, during the transportation, installation, and sales of the sterilization device, the sterilization material is prone to vibration and collision, resulting in sterilization material fragments and particles. The generated sterilization material fragments and particles can easily damage the parts of the clothing treatment device and cut the user.

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

[0045] It should be noted that these drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the conceptual scope of the present invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the present invention for those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0047] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0048] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention discloses a sterilization device 1, a delivery box assembly 2 and a clothing processing device. The sterilization device 1 includes:

[0050] The housing 11 has a receiving cavity formed therein for receiving a sterilizing substance 14;

[0051] The sustained-release hole 12 is formed on the shell wall of the shell 11 and is used to release the sustained-release sterilizing substance 14 to the outside of the shell 11;

[0052] The collecting tray 13 is disposed outside the housing 11 and located at the lower portion of the housing 11 for collecting the sterilizing material debris 141 .

[0053] The bactericidal substance 14 in the present invention comprises bactericidal particles which can dissolve the bactericidal substance into water when in contact with water.

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

[0055] Specifically, silver ions strongly attract the sulfhydryl groups (-SH) on proteases in bacteria, quickly binding to them and deactivating the proteases, leading to bacterial death. Once the bacteria are killed by silver ions, the silver ions are released from the bacterial corpses and come into contact with other bacterial colonies, repeating the process over and over again.

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

[0057] In the present invention, a collection tray 13 is provided at the bottom of the housing 11 to collect sterilizing material debris 141, preventing the sterilizing material 141 from being scattered due to vibration and collision. Positioning the collection tray 13 at the bottom of the housing 11 effectively collects the sterilizing material debris 141. By collecting the sterilizing material debris 141, the sterilizing material debris 141 is prevented from scratching the user.

[0058] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the collecting tray 13 is a groove structure. The open end of the groove structure is clamped at the lower part of the housing 11.

[0059] Specifically, the housing 11 includes a housing bottom wall 112 , and the groove structure covers the housing bottom wall 112 and is clamped at the lower portion of the housing 11 .

[0060] In the present invention, by setting the collection plate 13 as a groove structure, the groove structure can collect and hold the sterilization material debris 141 generated by the sterilization material 14. The sterilization material debris 141 is concentrated in the groove structure and is not easily scattered out of the groove structure, thereby avoiding the sterilization material debris 141 scratching the user.

[0061] As an implementation of this embodiment, the bottom of the groove structure is arranged horizontally. This arrangement allows the fragments of the sterilizing substance 14 to be evenly distributed in the collecting tray 13, avoiding excessive fragments of the sterilizing substance 14 in some parts of the collecting tray 13, which would reduce the collection effect.

[0062] As another implementation of this embodiment, the groove structure includes a groove structure bottom wall 131 and a groove structure side wall 132 extending upward from the edge of the groove structure bottom wall 131. The groove structure bottom wall 131 is opposite to the housing bottom wall 112 and is disposed below the housing bottom wall 112, with a gap between the groove structure bottom wall 131 and the housing bottom wall 112. The groove structure side wall 132 is snap-fitted to the lower portion of the housing side wall 111.

[0063] Specifically, if Figure 3As shown, a buckle 1323 is provided on the groove structure side wall 132 , and a locking protrusion 1111 is provided on the shell side wall 111 . The groove structure side wall 132 and the shell side wall 111 are clamped together through the buckle 1323 and the locking protrusion 1111 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the groove structure side wall 132 is snap-fitted to the lower portion of the housing side wall 111, achieving secure installation of the groove structure and simplifying the installation structure. Furthermore, the area of ​​overlap between the groove structure side wall 132 and the housing side wall 111 is relatively small, which does not block the inlet and outlet of the slow-release hole 12 on the housing side wall 111, ensuring high water exchange efficiency of the slow-release hole 12.

[0065] As an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of the slow-release holes 12 are provided on the shell side wall 111 , and the groove structure side wall 132 is arranged to avoid the slow-release holes 12 on the shell side wall 111 .

[0066] In this embodiment, the groove structure sidewall 132 avoids the slow-release hole 12 from connecting with the shell sidewall 111, thereby preventing the groove structure sidewall 132 from blocking the slow-release hole 12. The unblocked slow-release hole 12 has a high water permeability, which can effectively exchange water inside and outside the shell 11, thereby improving the slow-release efficiency of the sterilizing substance.

[0067] As an implementation method of this embodiment, the top end 1321 of the groove structure side wall is set lower than the slow-release hole 12 on the shell side wall 111. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, several rows of the slow-release holes 12 are opened on the shell side wall 111 , and there is a gap between the top 1321 of the groove structure side wall and a row of slow-release holes 12 on the shell side wall 111 close to the bottom end of the shell side wall 111 .

[0068] In this embodiment, the top 1321 of the groove structure side wall is set lower than the slow-release hole 12 on the shell side wall 111 to avoid the groove structure side wall 132 blocking the slow-release hole 12 on the shell side wall 111, ensuring that the slow-release hole 12 has a high efficiency in exchanging water.

[0069] As another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall surface of the groove structure bottom wall 131 has a downwardly recessed cavity 133. The opening of the cavity 133 is arranged toward the housing bottom wall 112. The cavity 133 is used to accommodate and collect sterilizing material particles 141.

[0070] In this embodiment, a cavity 133 is provided on the bottom wall 131 of the groove structure, so that the cavity 133 can collect and accommodate the sterilizing material debris 141, preventing the sterilizing material debris 141 from being scattered. The sterilizing material debris 141 is centrally stored in the cavity 133, so that the sterilizing material debris 141 does not slide around in the collection tray 13, thereby preventing the sterilizing material debris 141 from leaking out and causing a bad user experience.

[0071] In addition, the cavity 133 has a larger space and can accommodate more sterilization material debris 141 , without the user having to frequently replace the collection tray 13 .

[0072] As an implementation of this embodiment, a plurality of slow-release holes 12 are provided on the bottom wall 112 of the housing. The opening of the cavity 133 is disposed vertically opposite to the slow-release holes 12 on the bottom wall 112 of the housing.

[0073] Preferably, the plurality of slow-release holes 12 are arranged in a row on the bottom wall 112 of the shell, and the cavity 133 is a strip structure with a certain length. The opening of the strip structure cavity 133 is set toward the slow-release holes 12 in the row, and the opening of the strip structure cavity 133 covers the slow-release holes 12.

[0074] More preferably, each row of slow-release holes 12 corresponds to a concave cavity 133 of the strip structure.

[0075] In this embodiment, the opening of the cavity 133 is arranged opposite to the slow-release hole 12 on the bottom wall 112 of the shell, so that the cavity 133 can specifically collect the sterilization material fragments 141 leaked from the slow-release hole 12 on the bottom wall 112 of the shell, and prevent the sterilization material fragments 141 from being scattered outside the sterilization device 1.

[0076] As another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a notch 1322 is provided on the side wall 132 of the groove structure for discharging water in the groove structure.

[0077] Specifically, the groove structure sidewalls 132 include: first, second, third, and fourth sidewalls. The first and second sidewalls are perpendicular to the groove structure bottom wall 131 and are opposite to each other; the third and fourth sidewalls are opposite to each other, the third sidewall is perpendicular to the groove structure bottom wall 131, and the fourth sidewall is inclined.

[0078] In this embodiment, a notch 1322 is defined in the upper portion of the fourth sidewall to release water from the groove structure through the notch 1322, thereby preventing a large amount of water from accumulating within the groove structure. This arrangement also allows water flowing out of the slow-release hole 12 on the housing bottom wall 112 to flow out through the notch 1322 in the upper portion of the fourth sidewall, ensuring high water exchange efficiency. Furthermore, the location of the notch 1322 in the upper portion of the fourth sidewall prevents the release of sterilizing material debris 141 from leaking through the notch 1322.

[0079] As another embodiment of the present invention, the housing 11 of the sterilization device 1 has a housing opening and a cover that is openably and closably disposed on the housing opening.

[0080] Specifically, a plurality of cover buckles 114 are provided on the edge of the housing opening, and the cover is fastened to the housing opening via the cover buckles 114. Preferably, a plurality of slow-release holes 12 are provided on the cover.

[0081] In this embodiment, the housing opening is provided to facilitate user access to the housing 11 for replenishing the sterilizing material 14. A cover is provided to facilitate opening and closing the housing opening. When the user needs to refill the sterilizing material 14, the cover can be opened to facilitate replenishment. When the user does not need to refill the sterilizing material 14, the cover can be locked onto the housing opening to prevent leakage of the sterilizing material.

[0082] In this embodiment, a plurality of slow-release holes 12 are provided on the cover body, so that water inside and outside the shell 11 can be exchanged by using the slow-release holes 12 , which helps to improve the water exchange efficiency of the sterilization device 1 .

[0083] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also discloses a delivery box assembly 2. The delivery box assembly 2 includes:

[0084] A delivery box for containing clothing treatment agents, including detergents, softeners, etc. The delivery box includes a detergent box 21 and a softener box 22;

[0085] The delivery box chamber 26 is used to accommodate the delivery box;

[0086] The sterilization device 1 is arranged in the delivery box chamber 26 .

[0087] Specifically, the sterilization device 1 is connected to the delivery box chamber 26 through the slow-release hole 12 to achieve water exchange between the sterilization device 1 and the delivery box chamber 26 .

[0088] The present invention provides a sterilizing device 1 so that the sterilizing material in the sterilizing device 1 can enter the delivery box chamber 26 to sterilize and disinfect the water flowing into the delivery box chamber 26 .

[0089] The water flow in the delivery box chamber 26 carries the sterilizing substance into the interior of the clothing processing device, thereby sterilizing and disinfecting the interior of the clothing processing device, and preventing the accumulation of harmful substances such as viruses, bacteria, molds, and microorganisms in the clothing processing device.

[0090] The delivery box assembly 2 of the present invention can not only release the bactericidal substance to sterilize and disinfect the washing water, but also does not generate debris of the bactericidal substance 12 .

[0091] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the delivery box chamber 26 has an oppositely disposed water inlet end 23 and a water outlet end 24. The delivery box is disposed between the water inlet end 23 and the water outlet end 24. The sterilization device 1 is disposed between the delivery box and the water outlet end 24.

[0092] Preferably, the sterilization device 1 is arranged between the softener box 22 and the water outlet 24 .

[0093] In this embodiment, by placing the sterilizing device 1 between the dispenser box and the water outlet 24, water flowing out of the dispenser box flows through the sterilizing device 1 and out of the water outlet 24. Thus, water flowing into the dispenser box chamber 26 from the water inlet 23 first flows into the dispenser box, flushes the clothing treatment agent, and then carries the clothing treatment agent with it. It then flows through the sterilizing device 1, where it partially dissolves the sterilizing agent, and then flows out of the water outlet 24. This ensures that the water flowing out of the water outlet 24 not only contains the clothing treatment agent but also has a sterilizing and disinfecting effect.

[0094] As an implementation mode of this embodiment, the shell 11 of the sterilization device 1 includes a first shell wall and a second shell wall arranged opposite to each other, and the slow-release hole is opened on the first shell wall and the second shell wall, and the first shell wall and the second shell wall are respectively arranged toward the delivery box and the water outlet end 24.

[0095] Specifically, the first shell wall may be formed by a cover body.

[0096] In this embodiment, by providing the slow-release holes 12 in the first and second shell walls, and by aligning the first and second shell walls toward the delivery box and the water outlet 24, respectively, water flowing out of the delivery box can enter the housing 11 of the sterilization device 1 through the slow-release holes 12 in the first shell wall. After the water in the housing 11 dissolves the sterilizing agent 14, it flows out through the slow-release holes 12 in the second shell wall and flows through the water outlet 24 to the clothing treatment device. This embodiment achieves high water flow efficiency and carries a sufficient amount of clothing treatment agent and sterilizing agent.

[0097] As another embodiment of the present invention, the delivery box assembly 2 further includes a water outlet channel 25. The water outlet channel 25 is disposed on the bottom wall 261 of the delivery box chamber and is located above and below the sterilization device 1. The water outlet channel 25 is used to guide the water flowing out of the sterilization device 1 to the water outlet end 24 of the delivery box chamber 26.

[0098] Preferably, the water outlet channel 25 extends from the water inlet end 23 to the water outlet end 24 .

[0099] In this embodiment, a water outlet channel 25 is provided on the bottom wall 261 of the delivery box chamber so as to guide the water flowing out of the sterilization device 1 to the water outlet end 24, thereby preventing the water from flowing around in the delivery box chamber 26 and improving the outflow efficiency of the water flow.

[0100] As another embodiment of the present invention, the sterilization device 1 is detachably connected to the delivery box chamber 26; specifically, a mounting groove is provided in the delivery box chamber, and the sterilization device 1 is clamped in the mounting groove.

[0101] In this embodiment, the sterilization device 1 is fixedly installed by clamping it in the installation groove, and the installation structure is stable and reliable, which reduces the vibration and collision of the sterilization device 1 and further reduces the generation of debris of the sterilization material 14.

[0102] As an implementation method of this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the delivery box assembly also includes an overflow plate 27 and a mounting plate 28. The overflow plate 27 and mounting plate 28 are disposed perpendicular to the delivery box chamber bottom wall 261. The overflow plate 27 and mounting plate 28 are disposed parallel to each other and spaced apart. The overflow plate 27, mounting plate 28, and delivery box chamber bottom wall 261 form the mounting groove.

[0103] Furthermore, the mounting plate 28 is provided with a mounting hole 281, and a mounting protrusion 113 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 11 of the sterilization device 1. The mounting protrusion 113 is locked in the mounting hole 281 to achieve a detachable connection between the sterilization device 1 and the mounting plate 28. Preferably, the mounting protrusion 113 is provided on the second housing wall.

[0104] In this embodiment, water flowing out of the dispenser box overflows from overflow plate 27 into the mounting groove, then passes through the slow-release hole 12 of the sterilizer 1 and enters the sterilizer 1. After the water partially dissolves the sterilizing substance 14 within the sterilizer 1, it flows out through the slow-release hole 12. In this embodiment, the slow-release efficiency of the sterilizing substance 14 is high, and the sterilizer 1 is simple to install and easy to disassemble and replace.

[0105] The present invention also provides a clothing processing device having a delivery box assembly 2 as described in any one of the above technical solutions.

[0106] Specifically, the clothing treatment device includes a water inlet system, which is connected to the delivery box assembly 2 to provide water flow into the delivery box assembly 2. The water flow flushes the clothing treatment agent and slow-release bactericidal substance in the delivery box assembly 2 into the washing tub of the clothing treatment device, making it convenient for the clothing treatment agent and bactericidal substance to act on the clothes in the washing tub.

[0107] The clothes treating device of the present invention has the function of sterilization and disinfection, and the fragments of the sterilizing substance 14 will not be scattered around in the clothes treating device, thereby preventing the sterilizing substance fragments from damaging the clothes treating device and cutting the user.
