[0050] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention combines a first washing device 1 (such as a washing machine) and a second washing device 2 (such as a wash basin or a laundry tub) with different washing purposes. The water resources discharged from the first washing device 1 (such as a washing machine) can be detected and recovered. Combined with the washing mode of the second washing device 2 (such as a wash basin or a laundry tub) selected by the user, the water resources that meet the set conditions are filtered by the filter element and stored in the water reservoir 7. Then, the water is supplied to the laundry tub through the water inlet pump 9.

[0052] The specific implementation of the present invention is described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] The present application provides a washing device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a first washing device 1 and a second washing device 2, and a washing water recycling system 555 is connected between the first washing device 1 and the second washing device 2.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first washing device 1 is exemplified by a washing machine, and the second washing device 2 is exemplified by a washing tub.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the washing water recycling system 555 includes a drainage pipe 12 connected to the drainage outlet 11 of the first washing device 1, a plurality of first water inlet pipes 21 for supplying water to the second washing device 2, a plurality of water treatment pipes 13 connecting the water outlet of the drainage pipe 12 with the water inlet ends of the plurality of first water inlet pipes 21, a plurality of first on-off devices 4, a plurality of water treatment components 5, a plurality of water inlet pumps 9, and a water storage tank 7 having a plurality of water storage chambers 71.

[0057] The water inlet ends of the multiple first water inlet pipes 21 are connected to the multiple water storage chambers 71 in a one-to-one correspondence; each water storage chamber 71 is provided with a water inlet pump 9, and the water outlet of each water inlet pump 9 is connected to the water inlet end of the first water inlet pipe 21 of the water storage chamber 71 in which it is located;

[0058] The water inlet ends of the multiple water treatment pipes 13 are connected to the water outlet ends of the drainage pipes 12, and the water outlet ends of the multiple water treatment pipes 13 are connected to the multiple water storage chambers 71 in a one-to-one correspondence; each water treatment pipe 13 is provided with a water treatment component 5; and a first on-off device 4 is provided on the water inlet side of each water treatment component 5;

[0059] The plurality of first on-off devices 4 can be controlled to be selectively opened or closed according to the drainage water quality parameters of the drainage pipeline 12 , and the plurality of water inlet pumps 9 can be controlled to be selectively started according to the washing mode of the second washing device 2 .

[0060] The washing water is the water generated during all laundry treatment processes and needs to be discharged from the washing tub (note that it is discharged from the washing tub, not from the washing device). Since this embodiment does not specifically limit the heights of the drainage pipe 12, the water treatment unit 5, and the water reservoir 7, in actual use, if the water discharged from the first washing device 1 cannot automatically flow into the drainage pipe 12 due to gravity, the water in the drainage pipe 12 cannot automatically flow into the water treatment unit 5 due to gravity, and the water in the water treatment unit 5 cannot automatically flow into the water reservoir 7 due to gravity, a water pump can be installed at an appropriate location to use the power provided by the water pump to make the water flow.

[0061] A first sensor 121 is provided at the outlet of the drainage pipe 12. The first sensor 121 is used to detect the water quality parameters of the drainage pipe 12. The water discharged from the outlet of the drainage pipe 12 first passes through the first sensor 121 and then selectively flows to one of the multiple first on-off devices 4.

[0062] Each water reservoir 7 is further provided with a second sensor 6, which is used to detect water quality parameters of the water in the water reservoir 7;

[0063] The plurality of water inlet pumps 9 can be controlled to be selectively turned on according to the washing mode of the second washing device and the water quality parameters detected by the second sensor 6 .

[0064] Specifically, Figure 1 For example, each water treatment component 5 is provided with a water pump for introducing water in the drainage pipe 12 into the filter and pumping the water in the water treatment component 5 into the water reservoir 7 .

[0065] In one embodiment, the water treatment component 5 includes a filter, and the corresponding first sensor 121 and second sensor 6 may be turbidity sensors;

[0066] In one embodiment, the washing water recycling system 555 further includes a plurality of recycling processing pipelines 72 and a plurality of second on-off devices 8 arranged corresponding to the plurality of water storage chambers 71 ; each recycling processing pipeline 72 is provided with a second on-off device 8 .

[0067] The water inlet end of each recycling treatment pipeline 72 is connected to the water storage chamber 71 of the corresponding water storage tank 7, and the water outlet end is connected to the water inlet side of the water treatment component 5 of the corresponding water treatment pipeline 13;

[0068] Alternatively, the water reservoir 7 having three water storage chambers 71 may be replaced by three separate water reservoirs 7 , each of which has a water storage chamber 71 .

[0069] The first on-off device 4, the second on-off device 8, the water treatment component 5, the second sensor 6, the water inlet pump 9 and the water storage chamber 71 on each water treatment pipeline 13 can be regarded as a set of water treatment components. Figure 1 In the figure, three groups of water treatment components 5 are shown as examples. For ease of understanding, similar devices corresponding to different water treatment pipelines 13 are distinguished by the symbols A, B, and C. For example, the first group of water treatment components 5 includes a first on-off device 4A1, a water treatment component 5A2, a second sensor 6A3, a water storage chamber 71A, a second on-off device 8A4, and a water inlet pump 9A5. The second group of water treatment components 5 includes a first on-off device 4B1, a water treatment component 5B2, a second sensor 6B3, a water storage chamber 71B, a second on-off device 8B4, and a water inlet pump 9B5. The third group of water treatment components 5 includes a first on-off device 4C1, a water treatment component 5C2, a second sensor 6C3, a water storage chamber 71C, a second on-off device 8C4, and a water inlet pump 9C5.

[0070] Specifically, the drainage pipe 12 includes two ends: a first end and a second end. Drainage from the first washing device 1 is discharged from the drain outlet 11, enters the drainage pipe 12 from the first end, and flows along the drainage pipe 12 to the second end. Because the second end of the drainage pipe 12 needs to be connected to at least one first on / off device 4 and an on / off valve 31, a multi-way valve can be installed at the second end of the drainage pipe 12 to meet the connection requirements of the second end.

[0071] Specifically, the first on-off device 4 and the second on-off device 8 can be on-off pumps or on-off valves. The water treatment component 5 is a device that purifies water quality parameters. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the water treatment component 5. The first sensor 121 and the second sensor 6 can both use filter sensors or other sensors capable of detecting water quality parameters.

[0072] As described above, both the first washing device 1 and the second washing device 2 have water needs. After the used water from the first washing device 1 is drained, it can be introduced into the water treatment unit 5 for filtration and storage. When the second washing device 2 needs water, the water in the water reservoir 7 can be introduced into the second washing device 2 for use via the water inlet pump 9. Specifically, based on the water quality parameters of the drainage pipe 12, one or more of the multiple first on-off devices 4 are activated to allow the water to enter one or more water treatment pipes 13 for treatment, and the treated water is stored in the corresponding water storage chamber 71. Based on the washing mode of the second washing device 2, one or more of the multiple water inlet pumps 9 are activated to supply the water in the corresponding water storage chamber 71 to the second washing device 2. This saves water resources and improves the energy efficiency of the washing device.

[0073] In the actual use of the washing device, when the water provided by the washing water recycling system 555 cannot meet the water needs of the washing tub (for example, the water volume is insufficient, the water quality does not meet the requirements, etc.), we can also introduce clean water into the water tank through a second water inlet pipe connected to the tap water pipe and / or directly provide clean water to the washing tub.

[0074] Optionally, each water storage chamber 71 and the second washing device are further connected to a second water inlet pipe, which is a clean water inlet pipe 73. Each clean water inlet pipe 73 is provided with a clean water supply valve 100, which provides clean water to the water reservoir 7 when the clean water supply valve 100 is opened;

[0075] And / or, the water outlet end of the drainage pipe 12 is further connected to a discharge pipe 3 for discharging water in the drainage pipe 12 to the outside, and a switch valve 31 is provided between the discharge pipe 3 and the drainage pipe 12;

[0076] And / or, a second washing equipment washing water recycling pipeline 200 is further connected between the drain outlet 11 and the drain pipeline 12 of the second washing equipment, and a third on-off device is provided on the second washing equipment washing water recycling pipeline 200.

[0077] like Figure 1As shown, when there are three sets of water treatment components 5, there are at least three clean water supply valves 100, namely A6, B6, and C6, of which D6 is used to supply clean water to the second washing device 2. Specifically, the clean water supply valve 100100 is connected to the tap water pipeline to introduce tap water into the water storage tank 7 or the second washing device 2.

[0078] Through the above content, when the filter cannot reduce the water quality parameters in the water reservoir 7 to the required level, the corresponding clean water supply valve 100 can be opened to introduce clean water into the water reservoir 7, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the water quality parameters in the water reservoir 7, so that the water in the water reservoir 7 can be used in the second washing device 2 to achieve water reuse.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, the washing device provided in this embodiment is different from that in Example 1 in that the drain outlet 11 of the washing tub is connected to the drain pipe 12 and is connected between the first sensor 121 and the drain end.

[0081] That is to say, the water discharged from the washing tub can also be recycled and reused, further improving the water conservation effect. Specifically, the drain outlet 11 of the washing tub is connected to the drain pipe 12 through the second washing equipment washing water recycling pipe 200.

[0082] Through the above, the water in the washing tub can also be recycled and reused, thereby improving the resource-saving performance of the washing device.

[0083] Example 3

[0084] like Figure 3 As shown, the washing device provided in this embodiment is different from that of embodiments 1 and 2 in that the second water outlet end of the washing tub is connected to the water reservoir 7, and the water reservoir 7 is provided with a water inlet drive 300 for pumping water in the water reservoir 7 into the washing machine.

[0085] After the water inlet drive 300 is started, the water in the water storage 7 is introduced into the washing machine for use by the washing machine. Specifically, taking three groups of water treatment components 5 as an example, the water inlet drive 300 includes water inlet drive components 300A7, B7 and C7.

[0086] Through the above content, the washing tub can use the water discharged from the washing machine, and the washing machine can also use the water discharged from the washing tub, which greatly improves the water resource saving.

[0087] Example 4

[0088] The first washing device 1 is a washing machine, and the second washing device 2 is a washing tub. For example, three groups of water treatment components 5 are provided.

[0089] The specific structure of the washing machine is not limited in this embodiment. In addition to the function of washing clothes, the washing machine can also have functions such as drying and care.

[0090] The present application also provides a water treatment method for the washing device of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, 2, 3 or 4, comprising:

[0091] Selectively opening one or more of the plurality of first on-off devices 4 according to the drainage water quality parameters of the drainage pipeline 12 to allow the water to enter one or more water treatment pipelines 13 for water treatment, and storing the treated water in the corresponding water storage chamber 71;

[0092] One or more of the plurality of water inlet pumps 9 are selectively started according to the washing mode of the second washing device 2 to supply water in the corresponding water storage chamber 71 to the second washing device 2 .

[0093] The present application also provides a water treatment method for the washing device of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, 2, 3 or 4, such as Figure 4 Shown, including:

[0094] S101 , obtaining a first water quality parameter collected by the first sensor 121 for water discharged from the first washing device 1 .

[0095] In one embodiment, after the first washing device 1 discharges water, the discharged water enters the drainage pipe 12 and contacts the first sensor 121. The first sensor 121 collects the water quality parameters flowing through the drainage pipe 121 to generate a first water quality parameter. The first water quality parameter is used to represent the quality of the water flowing through the first sensor 121.

[0096] S102 : Control the water discharged from the first washing device 1 to enter at least one water treatment component 5 according to the water quality indicated by the first water quality parameter.

[0097] In one embodiment, the water entering the water treatment components 5 may vary depending on the water quality parameters. Specifically, taking a filter as the water treatment component 5, and the first turbidity sensor and the second sensor 6 as detecting turbidity parameters, as an example: A larger value for the first water quality parameter indicates poorer water quality and makes the water less reusable. When the value of the first water quality parameter is high, the on-off valve 31 can be directly opened to release the water to the outside. When the value of the first water quality parameter is high, the first on-off device 4C1 can be opened to release the water to the third group of water treatment components 5. When the value of the first water quality parameter is low, the second on-off device 8B1 can be opened to release the water to the second group of water treatment components 5. When the value of the first water quality parameter is low, the first on-off device 4A1 can be opened to release the water to the first group of water treatment components 5. Whether the value of the first water quality parameter is high or low can be determined by setting a threshold, the threshold value of which can be set based on the water usage requirements. For example, if the water is used for washing vegetables, a low water quality parameter value is required, while if the water is used for washing dishes, a low water quality parameter value is required.

[0098] It should be noted that the above control process is only an example, and the specific number of water treatment components 5 and the water treatment component 5 to which the water is controlled to enter can be set according to actual needs.

[0099] S103 , controlling the water treatment component 5 to treat the water, and sending the water to the water storage chamber 71 through the corresponding water treatment pipeline 13 for storage, so as to be supplied to the second washing device 2 for use.

[0100] In one embodiment, a water treatment component 5 is provided in the water treatment component 5 , such as a filter. The water can be filtered by starting the filter, and the water can be transported to the water storage tank 7 for storage.

[0101] Through the above steps, by collecting the water quality parameters discharged from the first washing device 1, the first water quality parameters are obtained, and the water quality parameters can be known. Then, after filtering the water, the water quality parameters can be reduced. Then, when the second washing device 2 needs to use water, the water with the water quality parameters reduced to a specified level can be supplied to the second washing device 2, so that the water can be reused, saving water resources and improving water resource conservation performance.

[0102] In another embodiment of the present application, the water treatment component 5 is controlled to process water. Specifically, the water treatment component 5 may be a filter. It includes:

[0103] S201, control the water treatment component 5 to start and filter the water;

[0104] In one embodiment, the water treatment component 5 can filter the water after it is started, and has no filtering effect on the water after it is turned off.

[0105] In another embodiment, the water treatment component 5 includes a filter and a water pump. Controlling the start of the water treatment component 5 means controlling the water pump in the water treatment component 5 to start. Water introduced by the water pump is filtered through the filter.

[0106] S202, obtaining a second water quality parameter collected by the second sensor 6 for the treated water;

[0107] In one embodiment, the filtered water enters the corresponding water reservoir 7. When the water enters the water reservoir 7, it passes through the second sensor 6. The second sensor 6 collects the quality parameters of the water passing through to obtain the second water quality parameters.

[0108] S203 , according to the difference between the second water quality parameter and the preset water quality parameter threshold, control the second on-off device 8 to turn on, so as to circulate the water.

[0109] In one embodiment, after the second on-off device 8 is turned on, the water in the corresponding water reservoir 7 will enter the filter again to be filtered, realizing the circulating filtration of the water, which helps to improve the cleanliness of the water in the water reservoir 7, so that the water in the water reservoir 7 meets the conditions for reuse.

[0110] Through the above steps, water can be recycled and filtered to ensure that the water meets the requirements for reuse, thereby saving water resources.

[0111] In another embodiment of the present application, according to the difference between the second water quality parameter and the preset water quality parameter threshold, the second on-off device 8 is controlled to be turned on to circulate the water, including:

[0112] When the second water quality parameter exceeds the water quality parameter threshold, the second on-off device 8 is controlled to be turned on, so that the water in the water storage 7 enters the water treatment component 5 through the second water inlet end of the water treatment component 5;

[0113] Control the water treatment unit 5 to filter the water again and pump the filtered water into the water storage tank 7;

[0114] Acquire a second water quality parameter collected by the second sensor 6 for the water re-entering the water storage 7;

[0115] When the second water quality parameter is lower than the water quality parameter threshold, the circulation is stopped.

[0116] Through the above content, the second sensor 6 is continuously used to verify the water quality parameters, so that the circulating filtration of the water can be stopped when the water meets the requirements for reuse.

[0117] In another embodiment of the present application, according to the difference between the second water quality parameter and the preset water quality parameter threshold, the second on-off device 8 is controlled to be turned on to circulate the water, including:

[0118] Each time the loop is processed, a count is performed;

[0119] When the total count value exceeds the preset number threshold, the clean water supply valve 100 is controlled to open to supply clean water to the water reservoir 7 to reduce the water quality parameters in the water reservoir 7.

[0120] In one embodiment, after the first filtration process, each subsequent filtration process is counted, and each subsequent filtration process will determine whether the total count exceeds the number threshold, so that when it exceeds the threshold, clean water is provided to the water reservoir 7, so as to reduce the number of cycle filtrations and avoid the discharge of unreusable water.

[0121] In another embodiment of the present application, when the number of water treatment components 5 exceeds two, each water treatment component 5 is pre-set with a corresponding water quality parameter interval;

[0122] According to the water quality parameter represented by the first water quality parameter, controlling the water discharged from the first washing device 1 to enter the at least one water treatment component 5 includes:

[0123] According to the water quality parameter range in which the first water quality parameter is located, controlling the water discharged from the first washing device 1 to enter the water treatment component 5 corresponding to the water quality parameter range;

[0124] When the first water quality parameter is not within any water quality parameter range, the switch valve 31 is controlled to open, so that the water discharged from the first washing device 1 is discharged to the outside through the discharge pipe 3.

[0125] In one embodiment, for example, when three water treatment components 5 are provided, three water quality parameter intervals can be set, and the three water quality parameter intervals do not overlap. In other words, the water storage component can be configured such that multiple chambers are provided in a single water tank to achieve zoned water storage, or three water reservoirs 7 can be directly provided to achieve zoned water storage. These variations do not deviate from the essence of the present invention. By determining which water treatment component 5 to discharge water to based on the first water quality parameter, water can be differentiated for different uses, increasing the likelihood of water reuse and conserving resources.

[0126] Preferably, the first washing device 1 is a washing machine, and the second washing device 2 is a washing tub.

[0127] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, when the first water quality parameter P is less than the water quality parameter interval P1, the on-off pump A1 (first on-off device 4) is controlled to open and enter the corresponding filter device A (water treatment component 5). It should be noted that the first on-off device 4 in this embodiment adopts an on-off pump, and other devices with on-off pipeline functions can also be used. The water treatment component 5 in this embodiment can be a filter, or other devices that have a filtering effect on water and are used to improve the water quality. Then it enters the corresponding water reservoir 7, and the turbidity sensor B (second sensor 6) in the water reservoir 7 collects the second water quality parameter Y, so that when the second water quality parameter Y is less than or equal to Y1, the water is stored in the water reservoir 7; when the second water quality parameter Y is greater than Y1, the water is filtered in a cycle, and when the number of cycles K exceeds the number threshold K1, tap water is introduced. Similarly, the second sensor 6 in this embodiment adopts a turbidity sensor, and other sensors or devices that can detect water quality parameters can also be used.

[0128] When the first water quality parameter P is between the water quality parameter interval P1-P2, the on-off pump B1 (the second on-off device 8) is controlled to be turned on, entering the corresponding filtering device B to perform the corresponding filtering and storage process.

[0129] When the first water quality parameter P is within the water quality parameter interval P2-P3, the on-off pump C1 is controlled to be turned on.

[0130] When the first water quality parameter P is within the water quality parameter interval P3-P4, the switch valve 31 is controlled to open to discharge water to the outside.
