Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of laundry, and in particular relates to a washing machine. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the mainstream washing machine models on the market fall into two categories: front-loading and pulsator. Front-loading models offer mature technology and a wealth of features, but they are also expensive and bulky. Pulsator washing machines are lightweight, but they consume more water and result in increased wear and tear on clothing. Both front-loading and pulsator washing machines use a simple linear cycle: load clothes → fill → wash → rinse → spin → dry. This cycle involves repeated filling of water during the wash cycle, resulting in significant water waste and the use of large amounts of detergent, placing a significant burden on the environment. It also consumes a significant amount of electricity.
[0003] In response to the shortcomings of traditional washing machines, existing technologies have proposed a washing method using special polymers, specifically in two directions:
[0004] Particle-assisted washing uses specially formulated solid particles made of polymer materials, which rub against the surface of clothing and absorb dirt, thereby washing. This method can save over 80% of water and can be recycled, contributing to environmental benefits. However, the process requires at least two storage and recycling bins, significantly increasing the overall weight and size of the washing machine.
[0005] Solid particle molding method: This method does not require particle separation. Instead, it adopts a double-layer structure that is injection-molded into a polymer adsorption material in the washing drum. It is a ring-shaped body that mainly relies on the friction between the clothes and the molded inner surface to clean the dirt. Although it solves the problem of particle recovery, it does not consider the problem of reduced clothing cleaning rate caused by insufficient friction when some clothes are in the center and the internal friction of the clothes.
[0006] Among them, washing methods using detergent particles not only remove dirt from the surface of clothing but also save water. However, current washing methods are generally rotary washing, whereby the washing drum rotates to cause the clothing inside to rub against the detergent particles in the washing liquid to wash the clothes. As the washing drum rotates, the detergent particles in the washing liquid rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the detergent particles in the washing liquid tend to move toward the inner wall of the washing drum, or even cling to the inner wall of the washing drum. This results in insufficient friction between the detergent particles and the clothing in the center of the washing drum, resulting in inadequate washing. Therefore, improvements are needed to address this problem. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Therefore, the present invention provides a washing machine that can solve the technical problem in the prior art that the clothes in the center of the washing drum do not rub sufficiently with the washing particles and cannot be fully washed.

[0029] The second water conveying device is used to convey the condensed water of the water vapor condensation structure into the phosphate storage cylinder, so as to convey water into the phosphate storage cylinder.
[0030] In some embodiments, the water vapor condensation structure includes a cover plate, the inner side of which has a condensation surface. When the cover plate covers the washing tub, the condensation surface is located on the flow path of water vapor during clothing drying, so as to contact the water vapor and cause condensation of the water vapor.
[0031] In some embodiments, the condensation surface is inclined relative to the horizontal plane when the cover plate covers the washing drum, and the second water conveying device includes another conveying channel, and the second water conveying device conveys the condensation water flowing from the lower part of the condensation surface to the phosphate storage barrel through the other conveying channel.
[0032] In some embodiments, the washing machine further includes an anti-backflow mechanism, which is used to prevent the backflow of washing particles when the washing particle conveying device conveys washing particles into the washing drum through the conveying channel or when the washing particle conveying device recovers the washing particles in the washing drum through the conveying channel.
[0033] In some embodiments, the backflow prevention mechanism includes a first backflow prevention member, a second backflow prevention member, and a second driving mechanism;
[0034] The second driving mechanism is used to drive the first backflow prevention member to cover the conveying channel when the detergent particle conveying device conveys detergent particles into the washing tub through the conveying channel, and to drive the second backflow prevention member to move away from the conveying channel, so as to prevent the detergent particles from flowing back through the first backflow prevention member;

[0036] In some embodiments, the second driving mechanism includes a first driving device, and the second driving mechanism drives the first backflow prevention member to move through the first driving device, so that the first driving device drives the first backflow prevention member to cover the conveying channel when the detergent particle conveying device conveys detergent particles into the washing tub through the conveying channel, and drives the first backflow prevention member to move away from the conveying channel when the detergent particle conveying device recovers detergent particles in the washing tub through the conveying channel;
[0037] And / or, the second driving mechanism includes a second driving device, and the second driving mechanism drives the second backflow prevention member to move through the second driving device, so that the second driving device drives the second backflow prevention member to move out of the way of the conveying channel when the washing particle conveying device conveys washing particles into the washing drum through the conveying channel, and drives the second backflow prevention member to cover the conveying channel when the washing particle conveying device recovers the washing particles in the washing drum through the conveying channel.

[0041] The washing machine provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0042] 1. During washing, the washing drum can be stationary, with only the movable support member driving the clothing within the drum. The clothing rubs against the detergent particles in the washing liquid within the drum, which absorb dirt from the clothing, thereby achieving the washing effect. Compared to the prior art rotating drum washing method, the washing drum of the present invention is stationary, thus preventing the centrifugal movement of the internal detergent particles. This allows the detergent particles to be more evenly distributed within the drum, ensuring that all clothing within the drum comes into contact with the detergent particles, resulting in more effective friction and improved washing results.
[0043] 2. The present invention introduces a movable support for hanging clothes. Since the clothes are already stretched out on the hanger during washing, it is convenient to take out the clothes after washing.
[0044] 3. Compared with the prior art which sets two conveying channels for conveying detergent particles into the washing drum and recovering detergent particles in the washing drum respectively, the present invention conveys detergent particles into the washing drum and recovers detergent particles in the washing drum both through the same conveying channel, thereby eliminating at least one conveying channel, which has the advantage of a simplified structure.
[0045] 4. This invention uses a single container and piston. The piston creates pressure and negative pressure by pressing in and pulling out, thereby expelling and sucking in detergent particles. Compared with the existing solution that uses two cylinders to discharge and suck in detergent particles respectively, this can save the use of cylinders, thereby reducing the volume and saving space.
[0046] 5. By setting up a detergent particle activation mechanism to activate the detergent particles, the detergent particles can be reused, thereby improving the utilization rate of the detergent particles.
[0047] 6. By setting up a water vapor condensation structure, the water vapor from drying clothes in the washing drum can be condensed into water for reuse, avoiding the introduction of new water from the outside, thus having the advantage of saving water.
[0048] 7. The anti-backflow mechanism can improve the smoothness of the washing particle flow channel. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0062] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0063] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually 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. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0064] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.
[0065] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0066] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a washing machine is provided, comprising a washing drum 1, a movable support member 2, a detergent liquid delivery device, and a first drive mechanism. The detergent liquid delivery device is used to deliver detergent liquid into the washing drum 1. The detergent liquid is a mixture of detergent particles and water. The movable support member 2 is used to support clothing, for example, clothing can be hung on the movable support member 2. The first drive mechanism is used to drive the movable support member 2 to move within the washing drum 1, causing the clothing on the movable support member 2 to rub against the detergent liquid in the washing drum 1, thereby washing the clothing.
[0067] In the above example, during washing, the washing drum 1 can be non-rotating. For example, the washing drum 1 is stationary, with only the movable support 2 driving the clothing within the washing drum 1. The clothing rubs against the detergent particles in the washing liquid within the washing drum 1, and the detergent particles absorb dirt from the clothing, thereby achieving the washing function. Compared to the conventional rotating washing drum method, the washing drum 1 of the present invention is stationary, thereby not driving the internal detergent particles into centrifugal motion. This allows the detergent particles to be more evenly distributed within the washing drum 1. This ensures that the clothing at all locations within the washing drum 1 comes into full contact with the detergent particles, resulting in more effective friction and improved washing results.
[0068] In some embodiments, the washing drum 1 can also be set to rotate. In this way, although the washing particles will move toward the inner wall of the washing drum 1 under the action of centrifugal force when the washing drum 1 rotates, the movement of the clothes in the washing drum 1 driven by the movable support 2 will interfere with the centrifugal movement of the washing particles, thereby slowing down the centrifugal movement of the washing particles. This can also increase the friction between the clothes and the washing particles, thereby improving the washing effect of the clothes.
[0069] like Figure 5 As shown, the movable support member 2 may include a movable block 21 and a hanger 22. The hanger 22 is detachable relative to the movable block 21. For example, the hanger 22 and the movable block 21 may be detachably connected by a snap-fit connection. The movable support member 2 supports the clothes via the hanger 22, and the first drive mechanism drives the movable support member 2 within the washing drum 1 by driving the movable block 21. Furthermore, by introducing the movable support member 2, the present invention allows clothes to be hung out to dry, as the clothes are already stretched out on the hanger 22 during washing, making it easier to remove the clothes after washing.
[0070] The aforementioned movable support member 2 can be a lifting member, or a rotating member, etc. The movement form of the movable support member 2 in the washing drum is not limited, as long as the movable support member 2 can wash the clothes when driving the clothes to move in the washing drum 1. In one example, when the aforementioned movable support member 2 is a lifting member, the aforementioned first driving mechanism may include a lifting mechanism, and the first driving mechanism drives the movable support member 2 to rise and fall in the washing drum 1 through the lifting mechanism. Among them, the lifting mechanism may be a driving cylinder, etc., to drive the movable support member 2 to rise and fall in the washing drum 1 through the driving cylinder. Of course, the lifting mechanism may also be other structures, which will not be described in detail here. In another example, when the movable support member 2 is a rotating member, the aforementioned first driving mechanism may include a rotating mechanism, and the first driving mechanism drives the movable support member 2 to rotate through the rotating mechanism, so that the movable support member 2 and the washing drum 1 undergo relative movement. Among them, the rotating mechanism may include a motor, etc., to drive the movable support member 2 to rotate through the motor.
[0071] In order to improve the movement accuracy of the movable support member 2 in the washing tub 1, preferably, the first driving mechanism may further include a guide and limit mechanism for guiding and limiting the movement of the movable support member 2. In a specific application example, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide and limiting mechanism may include a guide rail 3, which guides and limits the movement of the movable support member 2. The guide rail 3 may include a sliding portion and a chute portion, which slidably cooperate with each other. One of the sliding portion and the chute portion is provided on the washing drum 1, and the other is provided on the movable block 21 of the movable support member.
[0072] In order to realize the function of the aforementioned washing liquid delivery device and enable the washing liquid delivery device to deliver washing liquid into the washing tub 1, the aforementioned washing liquid delivery device may include a washing particle delivery device and a first water delivery device. The washing particle delivery device is used to deliver washing particles into the washing tub 1. The first water delivery device is used to deliver water into the washing tub 1.
[0073] In the above example, the detergent particle conveying device and the first water conveying device cooperate with each other. The detergent particle conveying device conveys detergent particles into the washing drum 1, and the first water conveying device conveys water into the washing drum 1. After the detergent particles and water are respectively conveyed into the washing drum 1 and mixed, the aforementioned washing liquid is formed.
[0074] In order to realize the function of the aforementioned first water delivery device and enable the first water delivery device to deliver water into the washing drum 1, in a specific application example, the first water delivery device may include a water inlet pipe connected to the washing drum 1, and the water inlet pipe is used to be connected to an external faucet. The first water delivery device delivers water in the external faucet into the washing drum 1 through the water inlet pipe.
[0075] In some embodiments, the aforementioned detergent particle conveying device can not only convey detergent particles into the washing drum 1, but also be used to recover detergent particles in the washing drum 1. The detergent particle conveying device can include a receiving drum 5 to recover detergent particles in the washing drum 1 through the receiving drum 5.
[0076] Among them, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the detergent particle conveying device can convey detergent particles into the washing tub 1 and recover detergent particles in the washing tub 1 through the same conveying channel 7 .
[0077] Compared with the prior art in which two conveying channels 7 are provided for conveying detergent particles into the washing drum 1 and recovering detergent particles in the washing drum 1 respectively, the present invention conveys detergent particles into the washing drum 1 and recovers detergent particles in the washing drum 1 through the same conveying channel 7, thereby eliminating at least one conveying channel 7, which has the advantage of a simplified structure.
[0078] In some embodiments, the aforementioned accommodating tub 5 is used to accommodate detergent particles. The accommodating tub 5 is connected to the washing tub 1 through a conveying channel 7 to convey detergent particles into the washing tub 1 or to recover detergent particles in the washing tub 1.
[0079] In the above example, the washing particle conveying device realizes the function of conveying or recovering washing particles through a single accommodating drum 5. Compared with the prior art method of using two drums to convey and recover washing particles respectively, the structure of the present invention can eliminate the use of at least one drum, thereby saving space.
[0080] In order to realize the function of the aforementioned washing particle conveying device, the washing particle conveying device can not only convey washing particles into the washing drum 1, but also recover the washing particles in the washing drum 1. In one example, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the detergent particle conveying device may include a drainage filter structure and a piston 6 disposed within the accommodating drum 5. The piston 6 is configured to squeeze the detergent particles when moving in a first direction within the accommodating drum 5, causing the detergent particles to flow along a conveying channel 7 into the washing drum 1. The piston 6 is also configured to draw detergent liquid from the washing drum 1 through the conveying channel 7 when moving in a second direction within the accommodating drum 5. The first direction is opposite to the second direction. The drainage filter structure is configured to process the detergent liquid within the accommodating drum 5, thereby draining the water therefrom and retaining the detergent particles within the accommodating drum 5.
[0081] In the above example, the first direction may be downward, and the second direction may be upward. The piston 6 moves in the first direction within the accommodating tub 5, squeezing the detergent particles from the delivery channel 7 into the washing tub 1, thereby enabling the detergent particle delivery device to deliver the detergent particles into the washing tub 1. The piston 6 moves in the second direction within the accommodating tub 5, drawing the detergent liquid within the washing tub 1 from the delivery channel 7 into the accommodating tub 5. The drainage filter structure drains the water within the accommodating tub 5 while retaining the detergent particles within the accommodating tub 5, thereby enabling the detergent particle delivery device to recover the detergent particles within the washing tub 1.
[0082] The present invention utilizes a single container 5 in conjunction with a piston 6. The piston 6 creates pressure and negative pressure by pressing in and pulling out, thereby expelling and drawing in the detergent particles. Compared to the prior art solution of using two containers for discharging and drawing in detergent particles, this can save the use of two containers, thereby reducing the volume and saving space.
[0083] In order to achieve the function of the aforementioned drainage and filtration structure, so that the drainage and filtration structure can drain the water in the accommodating drum 5 while retaining the detergent particles in the accommodating drum 5, in one example, the aforementioned conveying channel 7 is openable and closable. The aforementioned drainage and filtration structure may include a drainage port provided on the accommodating drum 5 and a filter provided at the drainage port. The drainage port is openable and closable, and the filter is used to prevent the detergent particles in the accommodating drum 5 from being discharged through the drainage port when the drainage port is open.
[0084] In the above example, after the piston 6 draws the laundry liquid in the washing drum 1 into the accommodating drum 5 through the delivery channel 7, the delivery channel 7 is closed, the drain port is opened, and the water in the accommodating drum 5 is discharged from the drain port, and the filter screen filters the detergent particles in the washing liquid into the accommodating drum 5. In this way, the drainage filter structure realizes the function of discharging the water in the accommodating drum 5 and retaining the detergent particles in the accommodating drum 5.
[0085] It should be noted here that the aforementioned drain port can be provided at the bottom of the accommodating tube 5 so that the water in the accommodating tube 5 can flow out from the drain port under the action of gravity.
[0086] In a specific application example, when the piston 6 moves in a first direction within the accommodating tub 5 to squeeze the detergent particles, or when the piston 6 moves in a second direction within the accommodating tub 5 to draw the detergent liquid from the washing tub 1 through the delivery channel 7, the aforementioned drain port is closed and the delivery channel 7 is opened, thereby preventing the drain port from interfering with the delivery channel 7 in delivering the detergent particles. When the washing machine is in the detergent particle recovery mode, the drain port is opened and the delivery channel 7 is closed, thereby preventing the delivery channel 7 from interfering with the drainage of the drain port.
[0087] In some embodiments, the aforementioned washing machine may further include a detergent particle activation mechanism, which is used to activate the detergent particles in the accommodating drum 5 .
[0088] In the above example, by providing a detergent particle activation mechanism to activate the detergent particles, the detergent particles can be reused, thereby improving the utilization rate of the detergent particles.
[0089] To achieve the function of the aforementioned detergent particle activation mechanism, in a specific application example, the aforementioned detergent particle activation mechanism may include a phosphate solution delivery device. The phosphate solution delivery device is used to deliver a phosphate solution into the aforementioned accommodating cylinder 5 so that the phosphate solution mixes with the detergent particles in the accommodating cylinder 5. The aforementioned detergent particles are fluorinated polymer particles.
[0090] In the above example, the phosphate in the phosphate solution can react with the fluorinated polymer particles, removing dirt from the fluorinated polymer particles, thereby activating the cleaning particles, namely the fluorinated polymer particles. In the May 17, 2017 issue of the journal ACS, a paper titled "Semifluorinated Synergistic Nonfouling Fouling-Rel" by Xu-bingbing, Liu-yajin, Sun-xiaowen, Wu-jianhua, Shi-ping, and Huang-xiaoyun was published. This paper discloses that the phosphate in the phosphate solution can react with the fluorinated polymer, turning the fluorinated polymer material into an antifouling surface, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the fluorinated polymer material.
[0091] Among them, when the conveying channel 7 is openable and closable, and the accommodating drum 5 is provided with an openable and closable drain port, and the washing machine is in the detergent particle activation mode, the aforementioned conveying channel 7 is closed and the drain port is opened. In this way, after the phosphate solution cleans the dirt on the surface of the fluorinated polymer particles, it can be discharged from the drain port, so that the activated detergent particles remain in the accommodating drum 5 for next use.
[0092] In order to realize the function of the aforementioned phosphate solution delivery device, in one example, Figure 6 As shown, the aforementioned phosphate solution delivery device may include a phosphate storage barrel 4 and a second water delivery device. The second water delivery device is used to deliver water into the phosphate storage barrel 4, so that the water mixes with the phosphate in the phosphate storage barrel 4 to form a phosphate solution. The phosphate storage barrel 4 is used to communicate with the receiving barrel 5 to deliver the phosphate solution into the receiving barrel 5.
[0093] In the above example, the phosphate storage barrel 4 cooperates with the second water delivery device, which delivers water into the phosphate storage barrel 4 to mix with the phosphate to form a phosphate solution. The bottom of the phosphate storage barrel 4 may be provided with another openable and closable drain port, through which the phosphate solution can be discharged into the receiving barrel 5, thereby achieving the purpose of delivering the phosphate solution into the receiving barrel 5.
[0094] When the aforementioned other drain port is opened, the phosphate solution in the aforementioned phosphate storage barrel 4 preferably flows into the accommodating barrel 5 under the action of gravity, which can save the use of components such as a water pump.
[0095] In some embodiments, the phosphate storage barrel 4 is detachable to facilitate replacement as needed. For example, when the phosphate in the phosphate storage barrel 4 is used up, the user can be promptly reminded to replace the phosphate storage barrel 4 based on monitoring, thereby simply achieving the purpose of maintenance.
[0096] In some embodiments, the aforementioned washing machine may further include a water vapor condensation structure, which is used to condense water vapor from drying clothes in the washing drum 1 into water. The aforementioned second water delivery device is used to deliver condensed water from the water vapor condensation structure to the phosphate storage cylinder 4, thereby delivering water to the phosphate storage cylinder 4.
[0097] In the above example, by providing a water vapor condensation structure, the water vapor from drying the clothes in the washing drum 1 can be condensed into water for reuse, avoiding the introduction of new water from the outside, thus having the advantage of saving water.
[0098] In order to realize the function of the aforementioned water vapor condensation structure, the aforementioned water vapor condensation structure may include a cover plate, the inner side of the cover plate has a condensation surface, and the condensation surface is located on the flow path of water vapor when the cover plate covers the washing drum 1, so as to contact the rising water vapor and cause the water vapor to condense.
[0099] In the above example, the temperature of the water vapor from drying the clothes is relatively high, while the temperature of the condensation surface on the cover is relatively low. The water vapor with a higher temperature can condense into water after contacting the condensation surface with a lower temperature, thereby achieving the purpose of the water vapor condensation structure condensing the water vapor from drying the clothes in the washing drum 1 into water.
[0100] In some embodiments, the condensation surface is inclined relative to the horizontal plane when the cover plate covers the washing drum 1. Preferably, the condensation surface is arranged at an acute angle relative to the horizontal plane. The second water conveying device may include another conveying channel, through which the second water conveying device conveys condensed water flowing from the lower part of the condensation surface to the phosphate storage drum 4.
[0101] In the above example, by tilting the condensation surface, the condensed water on the condensation surface can naturally drip from the lower part of the condensation surface under the action of gravity, which is conducive to the condensed water flowing from the condensation surface into another conveying channel.
[0102] In some embodiments, the aforementioned condensed water preferably flows naturally into the phosphate storage barrel 4 under the action of gravity in the aforementioned other conveying channel, which can save the use of components such as a water pump.
[0103] In some embodiments, the aforementioned washing machine may further include a backflow prevention mechanism, which is used to prevent the backflow of washing particles when the washing particle conveying device conveys washing particles into the washing drum 1 through the conveying channel 7 or when the washing particle conveying device recovers washing particles in the washing drum 1 through the conveying channel 7. Specifically, when the washing particle conveying device conveys washing particles into the washing drum 1 through the conveying channel 7, the backflow prevention mechanism can prevent the washing particles from flowing back into the conveying channel 7. When the washing particle conveying device recovers washing particles in the washing drum 1 through the conveying channel 7, the backflow prevention mechanism can prevent the washing particles from flowing back into the washing drum 1.
[0104] In the above example, the anti-backflow mechanism is provided to improve the smoothness of the flow path of the washing particles.
[0105] In order to realize the function of the aforementioned anti-backflow mechanism, in some embodiments, as Figure 7As shown, the aforementioned backflow prevention mechanism may include a first backflow prevention member 8, a second backflow prevention member 9, and a second driving mechanism. The second driving mechanism is used to drive the first backflow prevention member 8 to cover the conveying channel 7 when the detergent particle conveying device conveys detergent particles into the washing tub 1 through the conveying channel 7, and to drive the second backflow prevention member 9 to move away from the conveying channel 7, so as to prevent the detergent particles from flowing back through the first backflow prevention member 8. The second driving mechanism is also used to drive the second backflow prevention member 9 to cover the conveying channel 7 when the detergent particle conveying device recovers detergent particles from the washing tub 1 through the conveying channel 7, and to drive the first backflow prevention member 8 to move away from the conveying channel 7, so as to prevent the detergent particles from flowing back through the second backflow prevention member 9.
[0106] In the above example, when the first backflow prevention member 8 covers the conveying channel 7, it can prevent the detergent particles from flowing back into the accommodating drum 5 through the conveying channel 7. When the second backflow prevention member 9 covers the conveying channel 7, it can prevent the detergent particles from flowing back into the washing drum 1. The function of the aforementioned backflow prevention mechanism can be realized by switching the first and second backflow prevention members 8 and 9 to cover the conveying channel 7 via the second driving mechanism, so that the backflow prevention mechanism can prevent the detergent particles from flowing back when the detergent particle conveying device conveys detergent particles into the washing drum 1 through the conveying channel 7 or when the detergent particle conveying device recovers detergent particles in the washing drum 1 through the conveying channel 7.
[0107] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 As shown, the aforementioned first backflow prevention member 8 may be provided with a first backflow prevention hole 801. When the first backflow prevention member 8 covers the delivery channel 7, the first backflow prevention hole 801 can prevent the washing particles from flowing back into the accommodating drum 5. The first backflow prevention hole 801 may be a valve structure that mimics the shape of a heart valve, that is, when subjected to pressure on one side, it allows passage, while the other side, due to structural reasons, will only close more tightly even when subjected to greater pressure. The number of first backflow prevention holes 801 may be more than two, and the aperture of one part of the first backflow prevention holes 801 may be larger than the aperture of another part. The main reason for this design is that if the aperture size of all the first backflow prevention holes 801 is the same, then the upper and lower pressure differences will cause the delivery pressure of the upper first backflow prevention holes 801 to be lower than the delivery pressure of the lower first backflow prevention holes 801, which may cause blockage.
[0108] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first backflow prevention member 8 may be provided with a first mounting hole 81, in which a first backflow prevention block 82 is embedded, and the first backflow prevention hole 801 is provided on the first backflow prevention block 82. Preferably, the first backflow prevention block 82 is detachable for easy maintenance.
[0109] In some embodiments, the aforementioned second backflow prevention member 9 may be provided with a second backflow prevention hole, and when the second backflow prevention member 9 covers the delivery channel 7, the second backflow prevention hole can be used to prevent the washing particles from flowing back into the washing tub 1. The second backflow prevention hole may be a valve structure that mimics the shape of a heart valve, that is, when subjected to pressure on one side, it allows passage, while the other side, due to structural reasons, will only close tighter even if subjected to greater pressure. The number of second backflow prevention holes may be more than two, and the aperture of one part of the second backflow prevention holes may be larger than the aperture of another part. The main reason for such a design is that if the apertures of all the second backflow prevention holes are the same, the upper and lower pressure differences will cause the delivery pressure of the upper second backflow prevention holes to be lower than the delivery pressure of the lower second backflow prevention holes, which may cause blockage.
[0110] The second backflow prevention member 9 may be provided with a second mounting hole, in which a second backflow prevention block is embedded, and the second backflow prevention hole is provided on the second backflow prevention block. Preferably, the second backflow prevention block is detachable for easy maintenance.
[0111] It should be noted that the structures of the first backflow prevention member 8 and the second backflow prevention member 9 can be the same, and only the installation directions are opposite.
[0112] In order to realize the function of the aforementioned second driving mechanism, the aforementioned second driving mechanism may include a first driving device, and the second driving mechanism drives the first anti-backflow component 8 to move through the first driving device, so that the first driving device drives the first anti-backflow component 8 to cover the conveying channel 7 when the washing particle conveying device conveys washing particles into the washing drum 1 through the conveying channel 7, and drives the first anti-backflow component 8 to move away from the conveying channel 7 when the washing particle conveying device recovers the washing particles in the washing drum 1 through the conveying channel 7.
[0113] In the above example, the first driving device may include a first driving cylinder, so as to drive the first backflow prevention member 8 to cover the conveying channel 7 or to clear the conveying channel 7 through the first driving cylinder.
[0114] The aforementioned second driving mechanism may include a second driving device, which drives the second anti-backflow component 9 to move through the second driving device, so that the second driving device drives the second anti-backflow component 9 to move out of the conveying channel 7 when the washing particle conveying device conveys washing particles into the washing drum 1 through the conveying channel 7, and drives the second anti-backflow component 9 to seal the conveying channel 7 when the washing particle conveying device recovers the washing particles in the washing drum 1 through the conveying channel 7.
[0115] In the above example, the second driving device may include a second driving cylinder, so as to drive the second backflow prevention member 9 to cover the conveying channel 7 or to clear the conveying channel 7 through the second driving cylinder.
[0116] The first drive device and the second drive device cooperate with each other to realize the function of the aforementioned second drive mechanism.
[0117] In some embodiments, the aforementioned washing machine may further include a water spraying mechanism for spraying water onto the clothes on the aforementioned movable support 2 to flush the detergent particles on the clothes into the washing tub 1. In a specific application example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water spraying mechanism may include a spray head 101 provided on the washing tub 1 , and the water spraying mechanism sprays water toward the clothes on the movable support 2 through the spray head 101 .
[0118] In the above example, after the washing of the clothes is completed, the water spraying mechanism is turned on to flush the detergent particles attached to the surface of the clothes into the washing tub 1 to reduce the residual detergent particles on the clothes.
[0119] For ease of understanding, the overall structure of the present invention is described below, and its working principle is explained.
[0120] Compared to traditional pulsator and drum washing machines, the two existing particle-type washing machines incorporate granular media, addressing some of the issues with water consumption and pollutants. However, these models, still based on a linear water-use model, do not address the issue of multiple water consumption cycles and also suffer from spatial limitations. Designers typically only consider the issues involved in washing clothes, failing to factor in the post-washing process of unloading and hanging clothes. This often leads to users needing to laboriously unload and hang clothes after washing, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0121] Therefore, the present invention makes changes to the washing machine structure and the overall washing mode of the washing machine.
[0122] The original motor-driven rotary washing machine has been replaced with a rail-driven vertical washing machine. When preparing to wash, the operator first places the clothes on a hanger 22, which can be extended and retracted laterally to accommodate clothes of different sizes. The hanger 22 is then mounted on a movable block 21, which drives the hanger 22 into the washing drum 1. In some applications, the aforementioned washing drum 1 can also be referred to as an inner tank. The movable block 21 moves within the washing drum 1 via the rails 3, such as by lifting and lowering. Since the clothes are hung on the hanger 22 for washing, this not only reduces wear on the clothes but also shortens the time it takes to remove them.
[0123] The aforementioned detergent particles use semi-fluorinated synergistic material polymers. The detergent particles serve as a medium replacing water, and their density is similar to that of water. The semi-fluorinated synergistic material polymer detergent particles can achieve the effect of switching between cleaning and anti-staining by activating groups on the surface of clothing.
[0124] In view of the space problem of storing detergent particles, the present invention adopts a single accommodating barrel 5 to store detergent particles. A piston 6 is provided in the accommodating barrel 5. When the piston 6 moves in a first direction, such as downward, in the accommodating barrel 5, the detergent particles can be pressed into the washing barrel 1 through the conveying channel 7. When the piston 6 moves in a second direction, such as upward, in the accommodating barrel 5, the detergent liquid in the washing barrel 1 can be sucked out through the conveying channel 7. The water in the detergent liquid can be discharged from the drain port in the accommodating barrel 5, leaving the detergent particles in the accommodating barrel 5, thereby realizing the recovery of the detergent particles.
[0125] To address the issue of decreased washing efficiency with long-term use of detergent particles, the present invention proposes an external storage structure, namely, a phosphate storage barrel 4, which stores phosphate (i.e., PBS) material. When the phosphate reaches a depletion value, the user is prompted to replace the phosphate storage barrel 4. The user only needs to replace the phosphate storage barrel 4. The phosphate in the water discharged from the storage barrel 5 can be recycled and reused, thereby achieving the goals of protecting the environment and facilitating maintenance.
[0126] In the washing mode, as shown in the attached Figure 10 As shown, the present invention eliminates the traditional rinsing stage and replaces the linear washing mode with a discrete washing mode. The specific washing method is as follows:
[0127] When the wash cycle is initiated, the drum 5 begins to fill with water. After the water and particles are thoroughly mixed, the delivery channel 7 is opened, actuating the first backflow prevention member 8 to seal the delivery channel 7. Subsequently, the piston 6 moves within the drum 5 in a first direction, such as from top to bottom, forcing the detergent particles within the drum 5 along the delivery channel 7 into the washing tub 1. The detergent particles pass through the first backflow prevention member 8, which prevents the detergent particles from flowing back into the drum 5. Simultaneously, the washing tub 1 is also filled with water, ensuring that the total water level within the drum 1 reaches the highest wash rail position when the piston 6 reaches the bottom of the drum 5. Once the required water level is reached within the washing tub 1, the delivery channel 7 is closed, actuating the first backflow prevention member 8 to clear the delivery channel 7. A valve 10 may be provided on the delivery channel 7, which is controlled by the valve 10 to open or close the delivery channel 7. The movable support member 2 then carries the laundry for vertical washing, where the laundry rubs against the detergent particles. After washing is complete, the movable support member 2 returns to its original position, and the detergent particle recovery process begins.
[0128] Washing particle recovery procedure: Open the conveying channel 7, drive the second anti-backflow component 9 to cover the conveying channel 7, and the piston 6 will perform a return movement. The piston 6 moves in the second direction, such as from bottom to top, in the accommodating tub 5. Negative pressure is formed in the accommodating tub 5 to suck the washing liquid in the washing tub 1 through the conveying channel 7. The washing tub 1 is provided with a nozzle 101. The nozzle 101 can be set at the top and side of the washing tub 1. The nozzle 101 can spray water on the clothes to clean the clothes and ensure that no particles are left. After all the washing liquid in the washing tub 1 is sucked into the accommodating tub 5 and discharged, the conveying channel 7 is closed and the second anti-backflow component 9 is driven to move away from the conveying channel 7 to ensure that the washing particles do not flow back into the washing tub 1. At this time, the transfer of dirt on the clothes and the washing particles is completed, and the washing is completed. The thorough removal of the dirt is carried out in the accommodating tub 5.
[0129] Finalization: The reactivation of the particles and the drying of the clothes in the washing drum 1 occur simultaneously. First, the clothes in the washing drum 1 are dried, while the water is drained from the storage drum 5, leaving only the detergent particles. The dried water vapor condenses into water and is then introduced into the phosphate storage drum 4. This water mixes with the phosphates in the phosphate storage drum 4 to form a phosphate solution. The phosphate solution is then introduced into the storage drum 5 to rinse the detergent particles, activating them and creating a stain-repellent surface that can remove dirt from their surfaces. A small amount of clean water can then be added to rinse the detergent particles, removing any stains from their surfaces while also returning them to a stain-absorbing surface. The phosphate solution can be drained into the external storage drum, where the phosphates can be recovered, and then air-dried for storage. Once the clothes in the washing drum 1 are dried, the top cover of the washing drum 1 can be opened, allowing the user to choose whether to hang the clothes directly to dry or fold them for storage.
[0130] The entire laundry process described above achieves the displacement of stains between clothing and detergent particles, and the final process is not to rinse clothing, but to rinse the particles, so a large amount of water is saved. At the same time, the guide rail type vertical laundry also makes it easier for clothing to fully rub against the detergent particles, solving the problem of insufficient friction between the detergent particles and clothing and improving washing efficiency. The detergent particles rely on PBS phosphate for conversion, which also makes their lifespan longer and more environmentally friendly. The main maintenance method of phosphate is to replace the phosphate storage barrel 4, which is recyclable, demonstrating the value of circular development and significantly improving the user experience.
