Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with the application date of May 17, 2022, application number 202210541956.7, and name “A base assembly and clothing processing device”. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of cleaning technology, and in particular to a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0003] With the development of intelligent cleaning technology, cleaning robots are becoming more and more popular among users.

[0004] Cleaning robots require a base station, which can be used to remove dust and charge the robot. However, the base station is large and requires a large amount of space indoors. In addition, the robot's mop is difficult to clean due to stains, which affects the cleaning effect and the appearance.

[0005] In order to reduce the placement space occupied by the base station indoors, the existing technology (such as the existing patent with publication number CN113062091A) sets the base station at the bottom of the clothing processing machine. In this case, the clothing processing machine support is set on the base station, and the placement space of the base station indoors is reduced by stacking the base station and the clothing processing machine. In order to form a stable support for the clothing processing machine, it is necessary to improve the structure of the existing base station. The existing base station is an integrated structure. When improving the structure of the base station, it is usually strengthened by increasing the structural size and setting reinforcing ribs. However, when strengthening the base of the integrated structure, the complexity of the base station is increased and the manufacturing cost is increased. In addition, when the clothing processing machine is running, the vibration will be transmitted to the base. Under the influence of the vibration, the operation and service life of the base station will be affected. Therefore, it is also necessary to set a corresponding vibration reduction and noise reduction structure, which further increases the complexity of the base station and the manufacturing cost. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application hope to provide a clothing processing device that can simplify the structure of the base assembly while improving the supporting performance of the base assembly.

[0044] An embodiment of the present application provides a base assembly 100 for use in a clothing processing device.

[0045] The present application embodiment provides a clothes processing device. Figure 1 , including a clothes processing machine 4000 and the base assembly 100 of any embodiment of the present application, and the base assembly 100 is located below the clothes processing machine 4000.

[0046] The base assembly 100 includes a base 1 and a support frame 200 for supporting the laundry machine 4000. The laundry machine 4000 is supported on the support frame 200.

[0047] In some embodiments, the laundry machine 4000 is fixed to the carrier 200 in a non-detachable manner.

[0048] In other embodiments, the laundry machine 4000 is detachably mounted on the carrier 200. The base unit 1000 and the laundry machine 4000 can be used separately or in combination.

[0049] The supporting frame 200 needs to bear the entire weight of the laundry processing machine 4000 and needs to have sufficient strength.

[0050] In this embodiment, during transportation, the clothing treatment machine 4000 and the base unit 1000 can be packaged and transported separately, thereby reducing the packaging size; the base unit 1000 can be used as an optional accessory and can be assembled or not assembled on the clothing treatment machine 4000 according to the user's choice. The base unit 1000 itself does not affect the independent use of the clothing treatment machine 4000, thereby improving the user's flexibility in selection.

[0051] The carrier 200 has a mounting cavity 200 a , and the base 1 is disposed in the mounting cavity 200 .

[0052] The base 1 has a receiving cavity 11 for receiving the cleaning robot 3000 (see Figure 3 and Figure 6 ).

[0053] The cleaning robot 3000 can be used to automatically clean dust and hair on the floor. If a mop is provided on the cleaning robot 3000, the cleaning robot 3000 can mop the floor after cleaning it. The functions of the base assembly 100 in the embodiment of the present application include, but are not limited to, charging, dust removal, cleaning, drying, and disinfecting the cleaning robot 3000.

[0054] Exemplarily, the cleaning robot 3000 includes a first communication module, and the base assembly 100 includes a second communication module. The cleaning robot 3000 and the base assembly 100 can communicate with each other through the first communication module and the second communication module. For example, when the cleaning robot 3000 needs to remove dust or charge, it can communicate wirelessly through the first communication module and the second communication module, thereby returning to the accommodating chamber 11. Exemplarily, the first communication module and the second communication module can include, but are not limited to, one or more wireless data communication modules such as a Bluetooth module, a Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) module, a fourth or fifth generation (4G / 5G) communication module, or an infrared module.

[0055] The laundry processing machine 4000 may include various forms, such as a washing machine, a dehydrating machine, and a washer-dryer, etc. The specific application scenario of the laundry processing machine 4000 does not limit the structure of the base assembly 100 of the present invention.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, the base assembly 100 is integrated under the clothing treatment machine 4000. On the one hand, the space under the clothing treatment machine 4000 can be used to store the cleaning robot 3000, reducing the indoor space occupied by the cleaning robot 3000; on the other hand, the clothing treatment machine 4000 is placed near the faucet and floor drain to facilitate water intake and drainage. In this way, the base assembly can be easily filled with water and drained through the existing water intake and drainage convenience of the laundry treatment machine, thereby solving the water intake and drainage waterway problem of the base assembly.

[0057] For example, see Figure 11 and Figure 12 The bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 11 is provided with a cleaning tank 16 for storing cleaning liquid, which can be tap water or a mixture of tap water and detergent. After the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the base station, the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 16 can be used to clean the mop of the cleaning robot 3000.

[0058] There are various ways to achieve the mop cleaning function. The cleaning robot 3000 can control the mop to rotate or vibrate, etc., to contact the water in the cleaning tank 16 to achieve the cleaning function. Alternatively, a friction member such as a brush head can be provided in the cleaning tank, and the brush head can be controlled to contact and rub with the mop on the cleaning robot 3000 to achieve the cleaning function.

[0059] Illustratively, the base assembly 100 includes a detergent delivery device 6 disposed on the base 1 , and the detergent delivery device 6 is used to deliver detergent directly or indirectly into the cleaning tank 16 to improve the cleaning effect of the mop.

[0060] The specific type of detergent is not limited, and can be laundry detergent, disinfectant, perfume, etc., and is not restricted here.

[0061] The base assembly of the embodiment of the present application automatically dispenses detergent into the cleaning tank through the detergent dispensing device 6, which can improve the cleaning effect of the mop.

[0062] The installation position of the detergent dispensing device 6 is not limited.

[0063] Exemplarily, the detergent dispensing device 6 is provided on the top of the base 1. The top of the base 1 has a large installation space, and is also convenient for the user to perform operations such as detergent dispensing and replacement from the front side below the laundry machine.

[0064] The base assembly 100 includes a water inlet component 5 , which includes a water inlet passage 53 for supplying water to the cleaning tank 16 and a water inlet valve 51 arranged on the water inlet passage 53 . The water inlet passage 53 is used to introduce an external water source and guide the water flow into the cleaning tank 16 .

[0065] In this embodiment, the water inlet passage 53 automatically introduces an external water source, and the user does not need to add water manually.

[0066] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the water inlet passage 53 can be completely independent of the water inlet system of the laundry machine, that is, the two can be independently connected to different faucets. In other embodiments, the water inlet passage 53 and the water inlet system of the laundry machine can be connected to the same faucet via a tee or other components.

[0067] The type of the water inlet valve 51 is not limited. For example, the water inlet valve 51 can be a flow limiting valve with a flow limiting function. That is, when the flow rate of water flowing through the water inlet valve 51 exceeds a set value, the water inlet valve 51 closes. In this way, excessive water flow rate is prevented.

[0068] For example, see Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 The water inlet assembly 5 includes a pressure relief container 52, which is disposed on the water inlet passage 53. The water inlet valve 51 is located upstream of the pressure relief container 52. In other words, the water in the water inlet passage 53 first flows through the water inlet valve 51, then flows through the pressure relief container 52, and finally enters the cleaning tank 16. The pressure relief container 52 can relieve pressure and slow down the flow, allowing the water to flow at an appropriate flow rate, thereby preventing the water from splashing due to excessive water pressure in the water inlet passage 53.

[0069] Exemplarily, the water inlet valve 51 and the pressure relief container 52 are both arranged on the left rear side of the base 1, so that the water inlet valve 51 and the water inlet position of the clothing processing machine 4000 are located on the same side of the clothing processing equipment in the left and right directions, which is convenient for centralized arrangement of water pipes and reducing the length of water pipes.

[0070] The number of the water inlets 14 on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is not limited, and can be one or more.

[0071] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, a plurality refers to no less than two.

[0072] For example, see Figure 6 The left and right walls of the accommodating chamber 11 are each provided with a water inlet 14, see Figure 7 and Figure 8The water inlet passage 53 includes a first pipe 531 and a second pipe 532 that communicate with the pressure relief container 52. The first pipe 531 runs from the right rear of the base 1 to the water inlet 14 on the right side of the base 1, and the second pipe 532 runs from the left rear of the base 1 to the water inlet 14 on the left side of the base 1. In this embodiment, multiple water inlets 14 simultaneously supply water, which increases the speed of water inflow into the cleaning tank 16 and facilitates water supply to the cleaning tank 16 from multiple angles. For example, in some embodiments, water discharged from the water inlets 14 can first flush the mop and then flow back into the cleaning tank 16, thus achieving multi-angle flushing of the mop.

[0073] For example, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The detergent dispensing device 6 includes a detergent box 61 for storing detergent and a dispensing pump 62 for extracting detergent from the detergent box 61. The dispensing pump 62 can automatically and quantitatively extract detergent from the detergent box 61 to achieve automatic dispensing.

[0074] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the detergent box 61 can be a disposable device. After the detergent in the detergent box 61 is used up, the detergent box 61 is removed and replaced with a new detergent box 61. In other embodiments, the user can fill the detergent box 61 with detergent, and the detergent box 61 can be reused.

[0075] In some embodiments, the detergent pumped out from the dosing pump 62 directly enters the cleaning tank 16 and dissolves in the cleaning tank 16 .

[0076] In other embodiments, the liquid outlet of the detergent dispensing device 6 is connected to the pressure relief container 52, that is, the outlet of the dispensing pump 62 is connected to the pressure relief container 52, so as to quantitatively pump detergent into the pressure relief container 52. The detergent dissolves in the pressure relief container 52 and flows to the cleaning tank 16 along with the water in the water inlet passage 53. In this embodiment, the pressure relief container 52 not only serves to relieve pressure and buffer the water flow, but also serves to mix and dissolve the detergent. In addition, it is convenient to arrange the detergent dispensing path of the detergent dispensing device 6. Specifically, due to the presence of the pressure relief container 52, the outlet of the dispensing pump 62 can be conveniently connected to the pressure relief container 52. The pressure relief container 52 has a relatively large size, which is convenient for connecting the dispensing pump 62, and can also reduce the flow path of the detergent and reduce the flow resistance of the detergent.

[0077] For example, the detergent box 61 extends in the front-to-back direction, that is, its front-to-back dimension is greater than its left-to-right dimension, forming a bottle-shaped container. The dispensing pump 62 is disposed at the rear of the detergent box 61. The liquid outlet of the dispensing pump 62 faces the pressure relief container 52 at the rear. This allows the liquid outlet of the dispensing pump 62 and the pressure relief container 52 to be connected via a short straight pipe, resulting in a compact structure and easy installation.

[0078] For example, the water inlet valve 51 and pressure relief container 52 are located at the top of the left rear side of the base 1. The water inlet port 51a of the water inlet valve 51 is located behind the water inlet valve 51, facilitating connection of a water pipe from behind the water inlet valve 51. The water inlet valve 51, pressure relief container 52, and detergent dispenser 6 are arranged sequentially from back to front. For example, they are all located to the left of the aforementioned fan 41, thus saving installation space.

[0079] For example, see Figure 6 A dust collection port 12 is provided on the side wall of the accommodating chamber 11. The dust collection port 12 is used to connect with the dust discharge port of the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000. Specifically, when the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the accommodating chamber 11, the dust collection port 12 connects with the dust discharge port of the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000, so that the dust collection port 12 and the dust storage space are connected.

[0080] The base assembly 100 includes a dust collecting assembly 2 (refer to Figure 6 ), see Figure 5 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The dust collecting assembly 2 includes a dust collecting pipe 21, a dust collecting motor 23 and a dust collecting container 22. The dust collecting container 22 is arranged outside the accommodating chamber 11 and is located on either side of the accommodating chamber 11. The dust collecting pipe 21 connects the dust collecting port 12 and the internal space of the dust collecting container 22. The dust collecting motor 23 is used to generate negative pressure in the dust collecting chamber.

[0081] When the dust collecting motor 23 is running, negative pressure is generated in the internal space of the dust collecting container 22, so that the dust collecting pipe 21 and the dust collecting port 12 are both in a negative pressure environment. The impurities in the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000 are sucked into the dust collecting container 22 under the action of negative pressure, thereby realizing automatic dust discharge of the cleaning robot 3000, and the user does not need to manually discharge the dust from the cleaning robot 3000.

[0082] It should be noted that the lateral side refers to any side in a plane perpendicular to the up and down direction, for example, the left side, the right side, the front side, the rear side, etc.

[0083] The base assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application arranges the dust collecting container 22 and the accommodating cavity 11 side by side in the horizontal direction, that is, the dust collecting container 22 will not be located above the base 1. Therefore, it helps to reduce the size of the base assembly 100 in the up and down directions, so that the base assembly 100 has a flat design, which makes it easy to integrate the base assembly 100 under the clothing processing machine 4000.

[0084] In the related art, the dust collecting container 22 is located obliquely above the accommodating chamber 11. During the dust removal process, impurities in larger areas cannot be sucked upward into the dust collecting container 22 due to the greater gravity. The dust removal is incomplete, and impurities remain in the dust collecting pipe 21, which can easily cause the dust collecting pipe 21 to be blocked.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, since the dust collecting container 22 and the accommodating chamber 11 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, the dust collecting pipe 21 is also arranged roughly horizontally. During the dust discharge process, the impurities move roughly horizontally in the dust collecting pipe 21, and the negative pressure does not need to overcome the gravity of the impurities. Therefore, the impurities can smoothly enter the dust collecting container 22, and the dust discharge is more thorough.

[0086] Exemplarily, the height of the dust collection container 22 does not exceed the height of the top of the base 1. In other words, the dust collection container 22 does not increase the height of the base assembly 100.

[0087] The specific shape of the dust collecting container 22 is not limited.

[0088] For example, see Figure 6 The dust collection container 22 includes a dust collection housing 221 and a filter component 222 that is retractably disposed within the dust collection housing 221. The filter component 222 is used to filter and contain impurities in the air flow entering the dust collection housing 221, intercepting the impurities within the filter component 222. The air flow entering the dust collection container 22 is filtered by the filter component 222 and then discharged from the air outlet of the dust collection motor 23.

[0089] The specific type of the filter component 222 is not limited, for example, it can be a dust bag or a dust box.

[0090] Illustratively, a drawing port 22a for drawing out the filter component 222 is provided on the front side of the dust collecting housing 221 , and the filter component 222 is drawn out of or placed into the dust collecting housing 221 through the drawing port 22a .

[0091] After a period of use, the user can remove the filter component 222 for cleaning and then place the filter component 222 back into the dust collection chamber. In this embodiment, the filter component 222 is reusable. Alternatively, the filter component 222 can be used as a disposable item and discarded after removal, and a new filter component 222 can be placed back into the dust collection chamber.

[0092] For example, see Figure 6 The dust collecting container 22 and the accommodating chamber 11 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and the dust collecting container 22 is located on the right side of the accommodating chamber 11. In this way, it is convenient to free up a large space on the left and rear sides of the base 1, which is convenient for arranging components related to water inlet and drainage.

[0093] For example, see Figure 10 The dust collection container 22 and the base 1 are spaced apart in the left-right direction, that is, there is a gap between the dust collection container 22 and the base 1 in the left-right direction, and the dust collection pipe 21 is arranged in the gap between the dust collection container 22 and the base 1 in the left-right direction. In this way, the dust collection pipe 21 is shorter, which can shorten the movement path of impurities in the dust collection pipe 21, reduce wind resistance, improve dust removal efficiency, and also help reduce the assembly size of the entire dust collection assembly 2.

[0094] For example, see Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The dust collection motor 23 and dust collection container 22 are arranged in a front-to-back direction, with the dust collection motor 23 positioned behind the dust collection container 22. Specifically, the air inlet of the dust collection housing 221, which connects to the dust collection pipe 21, is located on the left side wall of the dust collection housing 221, while the air outlet of the dust collection housing 221, which communicates with the dust collection motor 23, is located on the rear side wall of the dust collection housing 221. This fully utilizes the space behind the dust collection container 22, avoiding excessively increasing the left-right dimensions of the base assembly 100. Furthermore, it does not hinder the removal and placement of the filter component 222.

[0095] For example, see Figure 6 and Figure 10 The sidewall of the accommodating chamber 11 is provided with a return air port 13 for docking with the cleaning robot 3000. Specifically, the sidewall of the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000 also has a return air interface, that is, the return air interface and the dust exhaust port are both connected to the dust storage space; the return air port 13 is used to dock with the return air interface.

[0096] See also Figure 5 and Figure 10 The dust collection assembly 2 includes a return air duct 25, which connects the return air port 13 and the air outlet of the dust collection motor 23. When the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the accommodating chamber 11, the return air port 13 connects to the return air interface, and the dust collection port 12 connects to the dust exhaust port. The dust collection duct 21, the dust collection chamber, the return air duct 25, and the dust storage space form a circulating air path, allowing air to circulate between the dust storage space and the dust collection assembly 2. This increases the air intake of the dust collection motor 23 and improves dust removal efficiency.

[0097] The specific location of the return air outlet 13 is not limited, for example, it can be the rear side wall, the left side wall, etc.

[0098] For example, see Figure 6 and Figure 10 The dust collection container 22 is arranged on the right side of the base 1, the return air port 13 is set at the left rear corner of the side wall of the accommodating chamber 11, and the return air duct 25 is arranged from the rear of the base 1 to the return air port 13. In this embodiment, the return air duct 25 is arranged in a relatively smooth manner without large bends, which reduces the resistance of the airflow in the return air duct 25 and also makes full use of the space behind the base 1.

[0099] For example, see Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10 The base assembly 100 includes a charging terminal 17 arranged on the rear side wall of the accommodating chamber 11. After the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the accommodating chamber 11, it can be electrically connected to the charging terminal 17 to achieve charging.

[0100] For example, see Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The base assembly 100 includes a power module 31, which is electrically connected to the charging terminal 17. The power module 31 is used to convert the incoming AC power into DC power, and the charging terminal 17 uses DC power to charge the cleaning robot 3000.

[0101] It is understandable that the dust collecting motor 23 can be directly connected to AC power.

[0102] For example, see Figure 5 、 Figure 9 , the base assembly 100 includes a drying component 4, see Figure 6 The rear side wall of the accommodating chamber 11 is provided with an air inlet 15. The hot air flow generated by the drying component 4 is introduced into the accommodating chamber 11 through the air inlet 15, and the user dries the mop of the cleaning robot 3000.

[0103] It should be noted that the air inlet 15 is as close as possible to the lower part of the rear side wall of the accommodating chamber 11 to facilitate directing the hot air flow to the mop at the bottom of the cleaning robot 3000.

[0104] For example, see Figure 5 、 Figure 9 The drying component 4 includes a fan 41 and a drying tunnel 42. It should be noted that a heating element is provided inside the drying tunnel 42 or inside the fan 41. The heating element is used to heat the air so that the airflow discharged from the drying tunnel 42 is a hot airflow.

[0105] The fan 41 is placed flat on the top surface of the base 1, and the air outlet of the fan 41 is located at the rear end of the fan 41 and faces the rear of the base 1. The drying tunnel 42 connects the air inlet 15 and the air outlet at the rear end of the fan 41.

[0106] Among them, the fan 41 is placed flat on the top surface of the base 1, which means that the rotation axis direction of the impeller of the fan 41 is roughly along the up and down direction, and the fan 41 is roughly flat in the axial direction. The flat structure is placed flat on the top surface of the base 1. In this way, the size of the fan 41 in the up and down direction can be reduced, which facilitates the flat design of the base assembly 100.

[0107] The drying tunnel 42 extends downward from the air outlet of the fan 41 . The drying tunnel 42 is generally in a flat tubular structure and is attached to the rear surface of the base 1 to minimize the size of the drying tunnel 42 along the front-to-back direction.

[0108] The number of drying tunnels 42 is not limited, and may be one or more.

[0109] For example, see Figure 9 There are two drying channels 42 and two air inlets 15. The two air inlets 15 are staggered left and right. The upper ends of the two drying channels 42 are connected to the air outlet of the fan 41, while the other ends are each connected to a corresponding air inlet 15. This allows air to be delivered to the mopping cloth of the cleaning robot 3000 from multiple directions, improving drying efficiency. Furthermore, by sharing the air volume of the fan 41 between the two drying channels 42, the flow rate of each drying channel 42 can be reduced, facilitating the compact design of each drying channel 42.

[0110] It is understandable that, in the embodiment with the return air duct 25 , the return air duct 25 is arranged behind the drying tunnel 42 , that is, the drying tunnel 42 is located between the return air duct 25 and the rear surface of the base 1 .

[0111] For example, see Figure 9 The charging terminal 17 is located approximately in the middle area of ​​the rear side wall of the accommodating cavity 11 along the left-right direction, and the two drying tunnels 42 are located on the left and right sides of the charging terminal 17. In other words, each charging terminal 17 is located between the two drying tunnels 42. This fully utilizes the space between the two drying tunnels 42 and prevents interference between the two drying tunnels 42 and the charging terminal 17.

[0112] For example, see Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8The base assembly 100 includes a control motherboard 32, which is used to electrically control the electrical components of the base assembly 1000, such as the dust collection motor 23, the fan 41, the power module 31, the charging terminal 17, etc. In other words, the base assembly 1000 of the embodiment of the present application can be independently controlled and is not affected by the laundry machine 4000. It only needs to connect the control motherboard 32 to a power source. In this way, even if the laundry machine 4000 is not powered on or is not operating, the base assembly 1000 can still operate independently.

[0113] For example, see Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The control mainboard 32 is arranged on the top of the base 1 and is arranged side by side with the fan 41 along the left and right directions. In this way, the space on the top of the base 1 can be fully utilized.

[0114] Exemplarily, the control main board 32 is located on the right side of the fan 41, so that the control main board 32 is closer to the dust collecting motor 23 and the power module 31, shortening the length of the wires therebetween.

[0115] There is no limitation on the method of draining the water in the cleaning tank 16. For example, the water can be drained under the action of its own gravity.

[0116] For example, see Figure 11 and Figure 12 The base assembly 100 includes a drain assembly 7, which includes a pump body and a drain channel 72 connected to the cleaning tank 16. The highest part of the drain channel 72 is higher than the cleaning tank 16. The water inlet end of the drain channel 72 extends from the top to the bottom of the cleaning tank 16. In other words, the water inlet end of the drain channel 72 absorbs water from the bottom to the top. Under the action of the pump body, the drain channel 72 sucks the water in the cleaning tank 16. Under the action of the pressure difference, the water in the cleaning tank 16 is sucked into the drain channel 72 and discharged through the drain channel 72.

[0117] It should be noted that since the cleaning tank itself is located relatively low and close to the ground, and the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank is relatively small, if a drainage pump is used directly to suck the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank, the water inlet of the drainage pump itself has a large pipe diameter, and the water inlet of the drainage pump needs to be completely covered by water to function. At this time, the water in the cleaning tank is difficult to be pumped out smoothly, and the drainage effect is poor.

[0118] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, therefore, the water in the cleaning tank 16 is pumped out by suction from bottom to top, and the water is drained by utilizing the siphon effect, which can improve the drainage effect and facilitate the discharge of water to the floor drain and other parts.

[0119] For some examples, see Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 11 The drainage assembly 7 includes a water storage container 73 disposed on the drainage channel 72. The pump body is a drainage pump 71, which is located downstream of the water storage container 73. The water storage container 73 is higher than the cleaning tank 16. The water inlet assembly 5 includes a branch passage 55 and a water inlet passage 53 for supplying water to the cleaning tank 16. The branch passage 55 connects the water inlet passage 53 with the water storage container 73.

[0120] That is to say, the water inlet assembly 5 can supply water to both the cleaning tank 16 and the water storage container 73. The water storage container 73 draws water from the cleaning tank 16 under the action of the pump body and discharges the water from the pump body.

[0121] In this embodiment, the purpose of injecting water into the water storage container 73 through the water inlet component 5 includes: ensuring that there is sufficient water in the water storage container 73 before the drainage pump 71 is started, and when the drainage pump 71 is started, a pressure difference can be generated between the water storage container 73 and the cleaning tank 16, and the water in the cleaning tank 16 can be extracted based on the siphon effect.

[0122] It can be understood that in the embodiment with a pressure relief container 52, the water storage container 73 is connected between the outlet of the water inlet valve 51 and the water inlet of the pressure relief container 52 through a branch passage 55 to prevent the water in the pressure relief container 52 from entering the water storage container 73.

[0123] It should be noted that the timing of the water inlet assembly 5 supplying water to the water storage container 73 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, after the water inlet valve 51 is opened, the water inlet assembly 5 simultaneously supplies water to the water inlet passage 53 and the branch passage 55. At this time, the drain pump 71 is not operating. When the water level in the water storage container 73 reaches a certain height, the branch passage 55 stops supplying water due to the back pressure of the water storage container 73. For another example, in other embodiments, a three-way valve is provided at the connection between the branch passage 55 and the water inlet passage 53, and the direction of the water flow is controlled by switching the three-way valve.

[0124] Exemplarily, the drainage assembly 7 is arranged on the right rear side of the base 1, the drainage pump 71 is located on the right side of the water storage container 73, and the water outlet of the drainage pump 71 faces the rear of the base 1. In this way, the drainage pump 71 and the drainage outlet of the clothing processing machine 4000 are located on the same side of the clothing processing equipment, which is convenient for centralized piping and drainage.

[0125] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 12The pump body is an air pump 74. The drain assembly 7 includes an on / off valve 75 disposed on the drain channel 72. The base assembly 100 does not include the water reservoir 73 of the previous embodiment. The highest point of the drain channel 72 is higher than the cleaning tank 16, forming a siphon channel. The connection between the air pump 74's suction port and the drain channel 72 is located between the on / off valve 75 and the highest point of the drain channel 72. In this embodiment, liquid does not enter the air pump 74.

[0126] When drainage begins, the switch valve 75 is closed, and the air pump 74 sucks the gas in the drainage channel 72, so that a negative pressure environment is generated in the part of the drainage channel 72 located upstream of the switch valve 75, so that the water in the cleaning tank 16 is sucked into the drainage channel 72 under the action of negative pressure. After the water flows through the highest part of the drainage channel 72, the switch valve 75 is opened and the air pump 74 stops sucking. At this time, the water in the drainage channel 72 will be discharged continuously based on the principle of the siphon channel.

[0127] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the drainage channel 72 and the drainage pipeline of the laundry processing machine 4000 can drain water independently without affecting each other.

[0128] In other embodiments, the drainage channel 72 can be connected to the drainage pipeline of the clothing processing machine 4000 through a three-way pipe, and the water is concentrated to a discharge location such as a floor drain through the drainage pipeline.

[0129] In some embodiments, the laundry processing machine 4000 includes a detergent delivery mechanism for delivering detergent to the laundry to be processed in the laundry processing machine to improve the washing effect of the laundry.

[0130] It is understood that in the embodiment in which a detergent dispensing mechanism is provided, the detergent dispensing device 6 and the detergent dispensing mechanism are located on the same side of the laundry processing apparatus in the left-right direction. For example, both are located on the left side and are arranged near the faucet, so that the water channels of the detergent dispensing device 6 and the detergent dispensing mechanism are arranged on the same side, thereby improving the compactness of the laundry processing apparatus.

[0131] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without causing any contradiction.

[0132] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
