Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of washing machine technology, specifically a desktop washing machine with a water softening device. Background Technology

[0002] Desktop washing machines use tap water directly for washing, which can easily cause pipe blockages. In addition, the calcium and magnesium ions in tap water can react with the detergent, affecting its cleaning effectiveness.

[0003] Common water softening devices typically consist of a brine tank and a resin tank, often designed as a single unit. Tap water flows into the brine tank through the inlet, where it mixes with the softening salts to form a saturated brine solution. This solution then flows into the resin tank, where the saturated brine performs ion exchange on the degraded resin. This allows the resin in the resin tank to re-adsorb calcium and magnesium ions from the tap water, thereby reducing the hardness of the tap water.

[0004] However, the drum inside the washing machine is relatively large and takes up a lot of space. If the above structure is applied directly to a countertop washing machine, although the above problems can be avoided, the size of the countertop washing machine needs to be increased, which will also increase the production cost of the washing machine.

[0005] Furthermore, users need to replace the resin chamber regularly. This requires disassembling the outer casing of the desktop washing machine before the resin chamber can be removed. The disassembly process is complicated and tedious. Because the salt chamber and resin chamber are integrated, users need to replace the salt chamber simultaneously, increasing the operating cost of the washing machine. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention proposes a desktop washing machine with a water softening device. The resin tank is detachably installed on the outside of the washing machine body, allowing users to quickly and easily replace the resin tank. This solves the problem of traditional washing machines where users need to disassemble the outer casing to remove the resin tank, which involves multiple and cumbersome disassembly steps and requires the simultaneous removal of the salt tank, increasing the user's replacement costs.

The fourth partition is perpendicular to the first partition. The fourth partition, the first partition, the diversion plate, and the inner wall of the salt tank body form the water inlet cavity.

[0018] The fourth partition is used to separate the water inlet chamber and the water outlet chamber, and the float receiving chamber is connected to the water outlet chamber;

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

[0040] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0041] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "assembly," and "connection" 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 direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 7 This invention describes a desktop washing machine with a water softening device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] A desktop washing machine with a water softening device includes a washing machine body 1, a drum 11, a salt tank 2, and a resin tank 3. The salt tank 2 is located on the top of the washing machine body 1, and the bottom of the salt tank 2 is provided with an inclined arc surface 21. The arc surface 21 is disposed opposite to the side wall of the drum 11. The resin tank 3 is detachably installed on the side wall of the washing machine body 1. The salt tank 2 is provided with a first water inlet 22 and a first water outlet 23. The resin tank 3 is provided with a second water inlet 31 and a second water outlet 32. The first water inlet 22 is connected to a water supply pipe, the first water outlet 23 is connected to the second water inlet 31, and the second water outlet 32 ​​is connected to the water pipe of the drum 11.

[0044] The salt chamber 2 is provided with a mixing chamber 4. The input end of the mixing chamber 4 is connected to the first water inlet 22, and the output end of the mixing chamber 4 is connected to the first water outlet 23. The mixing chamber 4 is used to mix soft water salt and tap water to form saturated brine. The resin chamber 3 is used to adsorb calcium and magnesium ions in tap water.

[0045] This invention relates to a desktop washing machine with a water softening device. The drum 11 is located at the center of the washing machine body 1 and occupies a large amount of space. Therefore, in order to make full use of the internal space of the washing machine body 1, the salt tank 2 and the resin tank 3 are designed separately. The bottom wall of the salt tank 2 is provided with an inclined arc surface 21, which is arranged opposite to the side wall of the drum 11. The resin tank 3 is located at the bottom of the drum 11. This design makes full use of the internal space of the washing machine body 1, thereby forming a desktop washing machine with a compact structure, small size, and complete water softening device. This solves the problems of large size and high production cost of traditional washing machines with water softening devices.

[0046] Furthermore, the soft water salt can slide to the bottom of the inclined surface 21 under the guidance of the inclined surface 21, and the tap water also flows to the lowest part of the inclined surface 21 under the guidance of the inclined surface 21, further ensuring that the tap water can be fully mixed with the soft water salt to form a saturated brine.

[0047] The system involves a water supply pipe delivering tap water to the first inlet 22, which then enters the mixing chamber 4. The mixing chamber 4 contains a large amount of softening salt, allowing the tap water to mix with the salt to form a saturated brine. This saturated brine flows sequentially through the first outlet 23 and the second inlet 31 within the resin chamber 3. The resin chamber 3 contains resin, which adsorbs calcium and magnesium ions from the tap water. The tap water with adsorbed calcium and magnesium ions exits the resin chamber 3 through the second outlet 32 ​​and is then transported to the drum 11 for use via a water pipe. Once the resin in the resin chamber 3 has adsorbed a certain amount of calcium and magnesium ions, it becomes ineffective. At this point, ions in the saturated brine exchange with ions in the resin, regenerating the resin and restoring its activity, allowing it to continue adsorbing calcium and magnesium ions from the tap water.

[0048] It is worth noting that the resin chamber 3 is detachably installed on the outside of the washing machine body 1. Users can quickly and conveniently replace the resin chamber 3 without removing the outer shell of the washing machine body 1. This solves the problem of traditional washing machines using an integrated design of resin chamber 3 and salt chamber 2, which requires removing the outer shell of the washing machine before removing the resin chamber 3. The disassembly process is cumbersome, and the salt chamber 2 must be removed at the same time, increasing the replacement cost for users.

[0049] The salt tank 2 includes a diversion plate 24, the first water inlet 22 and the same side of the diversion plate 24, and the side of the diversion plate 24 away from the first water inlet 22 and the inner wall of the salt tank 2 form the mixing chamber 4.

[0050] A horizontal first partition 25 is provided on the side of the diversion plate 24 away from the mixing chamber 4. The first partition 25 is horizontally connected to the inner wall of the salt tank 2 and the diversion plate 24. The first partition 25 is located between the first inlet 22 and the second outlet 32. The top of the first partition 25, the diversion plate 24 and the inner wall of the salt tank 2 form an inlet chamber 41. The bottom of the first partition 25, the diversion plate 24 and the inner wall of the salt tank 2 form an outlet chamber 42.

[0051] The diversion plate 24 is provided with a water inlet hole, which is used to connect the water inlet chamber 41 and the mixing chamber 4. The diversion plate 24 is provided with a water outlet hole 26, which is used to connect the water outlet chamber 42 and the mixing chamber 4.

[0052] The first inlet 22 of the salt tank 2 is connected to the water supply pipe. Tap water flows from the first inlet 22 into the inlet chamber 41, and then flows from the inlet hole on the diverter plate 24 into the mixing chamber 4. Since the mixing chamber 4 is used to store softening salt, the tap water flows into the mixing chamber 4 and mixes with the softening salt to form saturated brine. The saturated brine flows into the outlet hole 26, which connects the outlet chamber 42 and the mixing chamber 4, allowing the saturated brine to flow through the outlet hole 26 onto the outlet chamber 42, and then be discharged from the first outlet 23 into the resin tank 3. At this time, the saturated brine flows into the resin tank 2 to exchange and regenerate the exhausted resin, allowing the resin to re-adsorb calcium and magnesium ions from the tap water and restore the resin's water softening capacity.

[0053] The diverting plate 24 is provided with a diversion chamber 27 at one end away from the first water inlet 22. The diversion chamber 27 is connected to the water inlet hole. The bottom of the diversion chamber 27 is provided with a plurality of diversion outlets 271, which are connected to the mixing chamber 4.

[0054] The soft water salt is installed in the salt tank 2 with a diversion chamber 27. The top of the diversion chamber 27 is connected to the water inlet hole, and the bottom of the diversion chamber 27 has a diversion outlet 271. At this time, the tap water is discharged through the diversion outlet 271, so that the tap water fills the mixing chamber 4. The tap water can be fully mixed with the soft water salt to become saturated brine, and then flows from the water outlet hole 26 into the water outlet chamber 42.

[0055] The inner wall of the salt tank 2 is provided with a hollow mixing liquid channel 28. The top opening of the mixing liquid channel 28 is connected to the mixing chamber 4, the bottom of the mixing liquid channel 28 is connected to the diversion plate 24, and the end opening of the mixing liquid channel 28 forms a water outlet 26.

[0056] The top of the mixing channel 28 is evenly provided with a plurality of drainage grooves 281, the top of the drainage grooves 281 penetrates the mixing channel 28, and the drainage grooves 281 penetrate the inner and outer sides of the mixing channel 28.

[0057] When the resin in resin tank 3 fails, the first inlet 22 delivers tap water to the mixing chamber 4 at regular intervals and in measured quantities. The tap water fills the mixing chamber 4, raising the water level in salt tank 2 while fully mixing with the soft water salt to form brine. A drain trough 281 is installed at the top of the mixing liquid channel 28. When the brine level is level with the height of the drain trough 281, the brine can flow through the drain trough 281 into the mixing liquid channel 28. The end opening of the mixing liquid channel 28 forms a water outlet 26, thus connecting the mixing liquid and the water outlet chamber 42, allowing the brine to flow into the water outlet chamber 42 and then be discharged from the salt tank 2.

[0058] The flow divider 24 is provided with a second partition 251, a third partition 252 and a fourth partition 253 on the side away from the mixing chamber 4;

[0059] The bottom of the third partition 252 is connected to the bottom of the salt tank 2, and there is a gap between the top of the third partition 252 and the top of the salt tank 2. The second partition 251 is horizontally connected to the diversion plate 24, the third partition 252 and the salt tank 2. The top of the second partition 251, the third partition 252 and the inner wall of the salt tank 2 form a rubber one-way valve receiving cavity 43. The top of the fourth partition 253 is connected to the top of the salt tank 2, and there is a gap between the bottom of the fourth partition 253 and the bottom of the salt tank 2 body. The fourth partition 253 is perpendicular to the first partition 25. The fourth partition 253, the first partition 25, the diversion plate 24 and the inner wall of the salt tank 2 body form the water inlet cavity 41.

[0060] The fourth partition 253 is used to separate the water inlet chamber 41 and the water outlet chamber 42, and the rubber one-way valve receiving chamber 43 is connected to the water outlet chamber 42.

[0061] The second partition 251 has a through hole 254 and a rubber one-way valve 29. The rubber one-way valve 29 is located in the rubber one-way valve receiving cavity 43, and the through hole 254 is located above the water outlet 26.

[0062] It is worth noting that the top of the fourth partition 253 is perpendicular to the first partition 25, so that the fourth partition 253, the first partition 25, the diversion plate 24 and the salt tank 2 form the water inlet cavity 41, ensuring that the fourth partition 253 and the first partition 25 can completely separate the water inlet cavity 41 and the water outlet cavity 42.

[0063] To further ensure that the brine discharged from the salt tank 2 is saturated brine, a second partition 251 is provided inside the salt tank 2. A through hole 254 is opened in the center of the second partition 251, and a rubber one-way valve 29 is placed on the through hole 254.

[0064] When tap water and soft water salt mix to form saturated brine, the saturated brine flows from the outlet 26 to the bottom of the second baffle 251, pushing upwards against the rubber check valve 29, and then overflows through the through hole 254 into the rubber check valve receiving chamber 43. The saturated brine continues to flow, and when the saturated brine level in the rubber check valve receiving chamber 43 is higher than that of the third baffle 252, the saturated brine flows from the gap between the third baffle 252 and the salt tank 2 to the beginning of the outlet chamber 42.

[0065] The salt tank 2 is equipped with a solenoid valve 5, and the output end of the solenoid valve 5 is equipped with a sealing element 51. The side wall of the salt tank 2 is provided with a receiving groove 52, which is located in the water outlet chamber 42. The top of the receiving groove 52 is connected to the water inlet chamber 41. The sealing element 51 is used to seal the opening of the water inlet hole or the receiving groove 52, thereby playing the role of water circuit switching.

[0066] When the solenoid valve 5 is activated, the solenoid valve 5 moves and contracts the sealing element 51, so that the sealing element 51 can block the opening of the receiving groove 52. At this time, tap water can flow from the inlet hole into the mixing chamber 4, so that the tap water can mix with the soft water salt to become saturated brine, and then pass through the outlet hole 26, the outlet chamber 42, the first outlet 23 and the second inlet 31 in sequence, and be transported into the resin tank 3.

[0067] Under normal conditions, the seal 51 blocks the water inlet hole. At this time, the tap water flows through the receiving tank 52 into the water outlet chamber 42, and then flows out of the salt tank 2 body from the water outlet, thereby changing the flow path of the tap water.

[0068] The bottom of the third partition 252 is connected to the bottom of the salt tank 2, and there is a gap between the top of the third partition 252 and the top of the salt tank 2. The top of the fourth partition 253 is connected to the top of the salt tank 2, and there is a gap between the bottom of the fourth partition 2 and the bottom of the fourth partition 2, making the first end of the outlet chamber 42 S-shaped. When the tap water level in the outlet chamber 42 is high, higher than the third partition 252, the tap water flows through the S-shaped channel into the rubber one-way valve receiving chamber 43. However, there is a pressure difference between the top and bottom of the rubber one-way valve 43, which causes the rubber one-way valve 43 to press against the through hole 254. This makes it difficult for the water in the outlet chamber 43 to flow in the opposite direction to the outlet hole 26 through the rubber one-way valve 43, thus preventing the tap water from directly entering the outlet chamber 42 from the receiving tank 52 and flowing in the opposite direction to the mixing chamber 4.

[0069] The resin tank 3 includes a first partition plate 33 and a second partition plate 34 from top to bottom. The first partition plate 33 and the second partition plate 34 divide the resin tank 3 into three cavities. The first partition plate 25 and the interior of the resin tank 3 form a first receiving cavity 44. The first partition plate 25 and the second partition plate 251 form a second receiving cavity 45. The second partition plate 251 and the resin tank 3 form a third receiving cavity 46. The second water inlet 31 is connected to the third receiving cavity 46, and the second water outlet 32 ​​is connected to the first receiving cavity 44.

[0070] The second receiving cavity 45 is used to store resin, and the first receiving cavity 44, the second receiving cavity 45 and the third receiving cavity 46 are interconnected.

[0071] Saturated brine flows from the second inlet 31 to the third receiving chamber 46, and the water level of the saturated brine continuously rises, causing it to spread into the second receiving chamber 45. Since the second receiving chamber 45 contains resin, the resin can adsorb calcium and magnesium ions from the tap water. The tap water level continues to rise, spreading into the third receiving chamber 46, which is connected to the second outlet 32. Therefore, tap water can be discharged from the resin chamber 3 through the third receiving tank 52 and the second outlet 32.

[0072] The resin is placed in the second receiving cavity 45. The first partition plate 33 can prevent the resin from being discharged from the resin chamber 3 through the second outlet 32 ​​with the water flow, and can also prevent the resin from clumping and clogging the second inlet 31 after long-term use.

[0073] The first partition plate 33 and the second partition plate 34 are provided with multiple holes.

[0074] To ensure that the saturated brine in the resin chamber 3 can flow within the first receiving cavity 44, the second receiving cavity 45, and the third receiving cavity 46, multiple holes are provided on the first partition plate 33 and the second partition plate 34. The diameter of the holes is smaller than the diameter of the resin, effectively ensuring that the resin can only move within the second receiving cavity 45.

[0075] The resin chamber 3 is detachably installed on the bottom wall of the washing machine body 1 by screws;

[0076] Alternatively, the resin chamber 3 can be detachably mounted to the rear side of the washing machine body 1 using screws.

[0077] The resin chamber 3 and salt chamber 2 are installed separately on the washing machine body 1. The resin chamber 3 has a certain lifespan. When the resin chamber 3 needs to be replaced, the user can replace the resin chamber 3 separately, thereby reducing the user's replacement cost.

[0078] Furthermore, the resin chamber 3 is installed on the bottom wall or rear side of the washing machine body 1 by screws. When the user replaces the resin chamber 3, he / she only needs to move the washing machine body 1 so that the bottom wall or rear side of the washing machine body 1 is exposed in front of the user, and then rotate the screws to quickly disassemble the resin chamber 3, thereby improving the disassembly efficiency of the resin chamber 3 and improving the user's user experience.

[0079] The salt tank 2 does not yet have a density detector 6. The inner wall of the salt tank 2 is provided with a limiting frame 61, which is connected to the mixing chamber 4. The density detector 6 is movably installed in the limiting frame 61 and is used to detect the density of the liquid in the mixing chamber 4.

[0080] It is worth noting that the density detector 6 is connected to an external circuit. When there is no soft water salt in the mixing chamber 4, since the limiting frame 61 is connected to the mixing chamber 4, the density of the liquid in the limiting frame 61 is the same as that of tap water. This causes the weight of the density detector 6 to be greater than the buoyancy of the tap water, causing the density detector 6 to sink to the bottom. At this time, the density detector 6 transmits the signal to the external circuit, which then reminds the user that there is a lack of soft water salt in the salt tank 2.

[0081] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of the invention without inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
