Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0032] The specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different combinations of specific technical features can form different embodiments and technical solutions. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in this invention will not be described separately.

[0033] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used merely to distinguish different objects and do not indicate that the objects have the sameness or relationship. It should be understood that the directional descriptions "above," "below," "outside," and "inside" refer to the orientation under normal use conditions, while "left" and "right" refer to the left and right directions shown in the corresponding diagrams, which may or may not be the left and right directions under normal use conditions.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element. "A plurality of" means two or more.

[0035] This application provides a garment processing device; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 9 It includes a water injection box 12 and a sterilization box 13.

[0036] It should be noted that there are no restrictions on the specific type of clothing processing equipment, such as top-loading washing machines and washer-dryer combos.

[0037] It is understood that in some embodiments, the garment processing equipment includes a workbench 10, a cylinder assembly, a housing, and a nozzle body 15.

[0038] The drum assembly provides space for clothes and their handling. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the drum assembly includes an outer drum and an inner drum, with the outer drum fitted over the inner drum. The outer drum holds water needed for washing clothes, and the inner drum holds the clothes. In this embodiment, the inner drum holds water through the outer drum; the inner drum can also be referred to as a perforated inner drum. In other embodiments, the drum assembly consists only of an inner drum, which holds water on its own. In other words, in this embodiment, the inner drum both accommodates clothes and holds water; in this case, the inner drum can be referred to as a non-perforated inner drum.

[0039] The nozzle body 15 is mounted on the workbench 10, the cylinder assembly is mounted inside the box, the workbench 10 is mounted on the top of the box, the workbench 10 has a clothing inlet 10a, the cylinder assembly has a clothing processing chamber, the top side of the cylinder assembly has an opening 12d, the clothing inlet 10a is located above the opening 12d, the clothes to be washed can be put into the clothing processing chamber from the top side through the clothing inlet 10a and the opening 12d, and the washed clothes can also be taken out from the clothing processing chamber through the opening 12d and the clothing inlet 10a.

[0040] Water injection box 12 has a water distribution chamber 12a and a water outlet chamber 12b. The water outlet chamber 12b is located below the water distribution chamber 12a. The bottom wall of the water distribution chamber 12a is provided with a plurality of water distribution holes 12c, which are used to spray water in the water distribution chamber 12a to the water outlet chamber 12b below.

[0041] In other words, the water outlet chamber 12b is located downstream of the water distribution chamber 12a along the direction of water flow. The water flows through the water distribution chamber 12a first and then through the water outlet chamber 12b. Specifically, when the inlet water flows through the water injection box 12, it first passes through the water distribution chamber 12a, and then flows through the water distribution chamber 12a to the lower water outlet chamber 12b, and then enters the clothing processing chamber through the water outlet chamber 12b to wet and wash the clothes.

[0042] It is understood that the water distribution holes 12c penetrate the bottom wall of the water distribution chamber 12a along the height direction of the clothing processing equipment. The water distribution holes 12c can be evenly distributed on the bottom wall of the water distribution chamber 12a so that the water flowing out of the water distribution chamber 12a can flow evenly to the water outlet chamber 12b. Of course, in some other embodiments, the water distribution holes 12c can also be non-uniformly distributed on the bottom wall of the water distribution chamber 12a, which is not limited here.

[0043] It should be noted that "multiple" refers to two or more. Multiple water distribution holes 12c can increase the rate at which water flows from the water distribution chamber 12a to the water outlet chamber 12b, reduce the probability of water accumulation in the water distribution chamber 12a, and increase the reliability of water inlet.

[0044] One end of the water inlet box 12 is connected to the water inlet pipe, which is used to introduce external water sources (e.g., tap water) into the water inlet box 12. For example, one end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the tap water pipe, and the other end is connected to the water inlet box 12.

[0045] In some examples, the garment processing device includes a water inlet valve 18, which is installed on the water inlet pipe. Water from an external water source is connected to the water distribution chamber 12a via the water inlet valve 18 and then enters the garment processing chamber. The water inlet valve 18 can also control the flow of water to improve the reliability of water inlet.

[0046] The sterilization box 13 is used to store the sterilizing agent. The sterilization box 13 is disposed in the water distribution chamber 12a or the water outlet chamber 12b, and is located below at least one water distribution hole 12c, so that the water flow sprayed from the water distribution hole 12c can flow through the sterilization box 13.

[0047] It is understood that the sterilization box 13 is located below at least one water distribution hole 12c. At least a portion of the inlet water flows through the water distribution hole 12c corresponding to the sterilization box 13, then flows out of the outlet chamber 12b. For example, in some embodiments, the sterilization box 13 is located below some of the water distribution holes 12c, while another portion of the water distribution holes 12c is directly connected to the outlet chamber 12b. That is, a portion of the water in the water distribution chamber 12a flows through the water distribution hole 12c corresponding to the sterilization box 13 to the outlet chamber 12b and then to the clothing treatment chamber. Another portion of the water in the water distribution chamber 12a flows directly through the water distribution hole 12c that is offset from the sterilization box 13 to the outlet chamber 12b. In other embodiments, the sterilization box 13 is located below all the water distribution holes 12c. That is, all the water in the water distribution chamber 12a flows through the water distribution hole 12c, first through the sterilization box 13, and then to the outlet chamber 12b.

[0048] It should be noted that the bactericide can be a bactericide with a slow-release effect, that is, the bactericide can be slowly released after contacting the water flow sprayed from the water distribution hole 12c, so that the bactericidal effect lasts for a longer time.

[0049] The disinfectant can be stored in the sterilization box 13 in the form of blocks, granules or other shapes. The disinfectant can be silver ions or other substances with disinfection and sterilization functions.

[0050] In related technologies, taking a pulsator-type garment processing device as an example, the sterilization device is set inside the pulsator hole cover. On the one hand, the sterilizing agent in the sterilization device cannot be fully mixed with the washing water, affecting the sterilization effect. On the other hand, after a certain number of uses, the water injection box used to inject washing water into the garment processing chamber will accumulate bacteria, dust and other impurities, and the water injection box is inconvenient to clean, which can easily affect the user experience.

[0051] The garment processing device provided in this application embodiment has a sterilization box 13 installed inside the water injection box 12. The water used for washing clothes first passes through the sterilization box 13 before entering the garment processing chamber. On the one hand, it can sterilize and disinfect the garment processing chamber and the clothes, increasing the reliability of garment washing. On the other hand, it can also sterilize and disinfect the water injection box 12, improving the cleanliness of the water injection box 12. There is no need to disassemble the water injection box 12 for disinfection and cleaning. The water injection box 12 is simple and convenient to clean. The sterilization box 13 is located below the water distribution hole 12c. The water flows from the upper space to the lower sterilization box 13, which has a certain drop. It can have a good rinsing effect on the sterilizing agent, facilitate the full contact between the sterilizing agent and the water flow, improve the sterilization effect of the sterilization box 13, and the garment processing device has high operational reliability.

[0052] Understandably, in some examples, please refer to Figure 4 The sterilization box 13 has multiple through holes 13a extending through the sterilization box 13 along the height direction. Water flowing into the sterilization box 13 through the water distribution hole 12c can enter the sterilization box 13 through the through holes 13a and come into contact with the sterilizing agent, and then flow out of the sterilization box 13 through the through holes 13a, thereby reducing the chance of water accumulation in the sterilization box 13 and improving the convenience of water flow.

[0053] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the height direction of the sterilization box 13 and the height direction of the water injection box 12 are consistent with the height direction of the clothing processing equipment.

[0054] The connection method between the sterilization box 13 and the water injection box 12 is not limited.

[0055] For example, in some embodiments, the sterilization box 13 and the water injection box 12 are detachably connected. That is, when it is necessary to remove the sterilization box 13 for inspection or replacement, it is not necessary to remove the sterilization box 13 and the water injection box 12 as a whole. It is only necessary to remove the sterilization box 13 directly from the water injection box 12. The connection between the sterilization box 13 and the water injection box 12 is simple and convenient.

[0056] In related technologies, the sterilization device is located inside the impeller hole cover, which is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, and makes it difficult for users to observe the usage of the sterilizing agent in the sterilization box.

[0057] In this embodiment, the user can directly remove the sterilization box 13 from the water injection box 12 to observe the completion of the sterilization agent usage. When the sterilization agent in the sterilization box 13 is used up, the user can directly replace it with a new sterilization device. In this way, the user can independently observe and replace the sterilization box 13, improving the user experience.

[0058] The method of opening and closing the sterilization box 13 and the water injection box 12 is not limited; it can be a snap-fit ​​connection, a threaded connection, etc., and there are no restrictions here.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The water outlet chamber 12b has an opening 12d on one side. The sterilization box 13 is removably installed in the water outlet chamber 12b and can be pulled out through the opening 12d to the outside of the water injection box 12.

[0060] Specifically, the water outlet chamber 12b can inject water into the clothing processing chamber through the opening 12d. The user can directly pull out the sterilization box 13 from the water outlet chamber 12b through the opening 12d or insert the sterilization box 13 into the water outlet chamber 12b through the opening 12d. In this embodiment, the sterilization box 13 is simple and convenient to put in and take out, which makes it easy for the user to intuitively check the usage of the sterilizing agent in the sterilization box 13. The clothing processing equipment has high working reliability.

[0061] In some embodiments, the opening 12d is connected to the clothing inlet 10a of the workbench 10. After the sterilization box 13 is pulled out from the opening 12d, it extends into the clothing inlet 10a, making it convenient for the user to observe the usage of the sterilization box 13 and push the sterilization box 13 back into the water outlet chamber 12b. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The opening 12d can be located on the side of the water outlet chamber 12b along the first direction and close to the clothing inlet 10a.

[0062] It is understandable that the first direction is the first direction of the water injection box 12, and the first direction of the water injection box 12 is consistent with the first direction of the clothing processing equipment. The first direction can be perpendicular to the height direction of the clothing processing equipment.

[0063] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The water injection box 12 has a partition wall 121, and the water distribution chamber 12a and the water outlet chamber 12b are located on opposite sides of the partition wall 121.

[0064] Specifically, the water distribution chamber 12a is located above the partition wall 121, and the water outlet chamber 12b is located below the partition wall 121. The water that has been combined with the disinfectant in the sterilization box 13 and enters the water outlet chamber 12b can be separated from the water in the water distribution chamber 12a that has been combined with the disinfectant, so that the water flowing into the clothing processing chamber has a sterilization effect and improves the sterilization effect of the clothing processing equipment.

[0065] The sterilization box 13 is located on the side of the partition wall 121 facing the water outlet chamber 12b and the two are slidably connected. This makes it easier to install the sterilization box 13, which can kill harmful microorganisms in the water flow and effectively sterilize and disinfect the water injection box 12, the clothing treatment chamber and the clothing treatment chamber. In addition, the sliding connection design can also increase the ease of installation and disassembly of the sterilization box 13 in the water outlet chamber 12b, making it easier for users to operate.

[0066] The method of sliding connection between the sterilization box 13 and the water outlet chamber 12b is not limited.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2A portion of the partition wall 121 protrudes toward the water distribution cavity 12a to form a recessed area 121a on the bottom side of the partition wall 121. The sidewalls on opposite sides of the recessed area 121a are provided with grooves, and the sidewalls on opposite sides of the sterilization box 13 are provided with ribs 131, which slide in conjunction with the grooves.

[0068] The recessed area 121a provides installation space for the sterilization box 13. The recessed area 121a is located on the bottom side of the water distribution chamber 12a, which facilitates the sterilization box 13 to receive the water flow from the water distribution hole 12c on the top side. After the water flow washes the sterilizing agent from the top side of the sterilization box 13, it can flow from the bottom side of the sterilization box 13 into the water outlet chamber 12b and then into the clothing treatment chamber. The sterilizing agent in the sterilization box 13 can fully contact the water flow. The sterilization box 13 slides with the groove of the recessed area 121a through its own rib 131. No auxiliary device is required, and the structure of the clothing treatment equipment is simpler and more compact.

[0069] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the sterilization box 13 is provided with a light-transmitting window.

[0070] In other words, when the user takes out the sterilization box 13, the disinfectant inside the sterilization box 13 can be directly exposed to the user's field of vision, making it easy for the user to see the usage status of the disinfectant, thereby grasping the usage time of the sterilization box 13 and improving the accuracy of the use of the disinfectant inside the sterilization box 13.

[0071] The arrangement of the water distribution chamber 12a and the water outlet chamber 12b is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 5 and Figure 6 The water injection box 12 includes a bottom shell 121 and a top cover 122. The space inside the bottom shell 121 defines a water outlet cavity 12b. A water distribution cavity 12a is disposed on the top surface of the bottom shell 121. The top cover 122 covers the top side of the bottom shell 121, that is, the water distribution cavity 12a is located on the side of the bottom shell 121 facing the top cover 122.

[0072] The connection method between the bottom shell 121 and the top cover 122 is not limited; it can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection. For example, it can be ultrasonic welding, laser welding, screw connection, bonding, riveting, etc.

[0073] In some examples, the bottom surface of the water outlet cavity 12b is inclined downward toward the opening 12d, that is, the bottom surface of the bottom shell 121 is inclined downward toward the opening 12d. In this way, it can have a better flow guiding effect and prevent water from accumulating in the water outlet cavity 12b.

[0074] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The garment processing equipment includes a hand-operated dispensing box 17, which is removably disposed in the water outlet chamber 12b and covers the opening 12d. The hand-operated dispensing box 17 is disposed below the water distribution hole 12c, and the water flow sprayed from the water distribution hole 12c flows through the internal space of the hand-operated dispensing box 17.

[0075] The manual dispensing box 17 is used for users to manually add detergent. When detergent needs to be added, the manual dispensing box 17 is pulled out from the opening 12d, detergent is manually added to the manual dispensing box 17, and then the manual dispensing box 17 is pushed into the water outlet chamber 12b and the opening 12d is blocked. At this time, the water flow through the water distribution hole 12c and the sterilization box 13 enters the manual dispensing box 17 and then flows to the clothing treatment chamber through the manual dispensing box 17.

[0076] Understandably, the type of detergent added to the hand-feeding box 17 is not limited. The detergent can be granular substances such as laundry powder, liquid detergent, fabric softener, disinfectant, or laundry pods.

[0077] In some embodiments, the opening 12d is connected to the clothing inlet 10a of the workbench 10, and the hand-held detergent dispenser 17 is pulled out from the opening 12d and inserted into the clothing inlet 10a to facilitate the user adding detergent.

[0078] In other embodiments, the detergent can also be dispensed automatically.

[0079] For example, in some embodiments, the garment handling device includes a detergent dispenser 11 and a dispensing pump 14. The detergent dispenser 11 has a storage chamber for storing detergent, and the dispensing pump 14 is used to draw detergent from the storage chamber and pump the detergent into the outlet chamber 12b.

[0080] Specifically, the detergent dispenser 11 has a liquid outlet 11a. When detergent needs to be dispensed, the dispensing pump 14 generates negative pressure. Under the action of negative pressure, the detergent in the storage chamber flows through the liquid outlet 11a to the dispensing pump 14, which can then dispense a fixed amount of detergent for the washing of clothes.

[0081] It is understandable that the detergent in the detergent box 11 is a liquid substance such as laundry detergent, fabric softener, or disinfectant.

[0082] In this embodiment, the detergent box 11 is connected to the dispensing pump 14, and the detergent can be dispensed automatically without manual operation by the user, which increases the user experience and can effectively avoid multiple rinsing caused by manually adding too much detergent, reducing the chance of wasting water resources and detergent. It can also reduce the chance of insufficient washing of clothes due to insufficient detergent added manually, thus increasing the washing effect and improving the ease of use of the clothing processing equipment.

[0083] It should be noted that the same garment processing equipment can be equipped with a detergent dispenser 11, a manual dispensing dispenser 17, and a dispensing pump 14 at the same time, so that the garment processing equipment can achieve both automatic and manual dispensing.

[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 10 to 12 The garment handling device includes a pull-out structure 16, a nozzle body 15 having a receiving space 15b and a pull-out port 15a, at least a portion of the pull-out structure 16 being pullable within the receiving space 15b and being able to be pulled out through the pull-out port 15a to the outside of the nozzle body 15, and a detergent box 11 being detachably disposed on the pull-out structure 16.

[0085] Specifically, when installing the detergent box 11, at least a portion of the pull-out structure 16 is first pulled out through the pull-out port 15a to the outside of the nozzle body 15. The user then places the detergent box 11 into the pull-out structure 16 and finally pushes the pull-out structure 16 to insert the detergent box 11 into the nozzle body 15 through the pull-out port 15a.

[0086] In this way, the detergent dispenser 11 can be inserted into or removed from the nozzle body 15 via the pull-out structure 16. This makes disassembly and assembly convenient, facilitating the replenishment of detergent and cleaning of the detergent dispenser 11. On the other hand, when the detergent dispenser 11 is inserted into or removed from the nozzle body 15, the pull-out structure 16 can also reduce the probability of collision between the detergent dispenser 11 and the nozzle body 15, making the placement and removal of the detergent dispenser 11 more stable. Furthermore, the pull-out structure 16 can also provide positioning support and protection for the detergent dispenser 11. The detergent dispenser 11 can be positioned within the nozzle body 15 via the pull-out structure 16, preventing it from moving and ensuring good installation stability.

[0087] The specific structure of the nozzle body 15 is not limited.

[0088] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The nozzle body 15 includes a first shell portion 151 and a second shell portion 152. The first shell portion 151 defines a receiving space 15b. The water injection box 12 is arranged side by side with the first shell portion 151 along a second direction. The second shell portion 152 extends from the side of the first shell portion 151 away from the receiving space 15b toward the side closer to the water injection box 12. A portion of the second shell portion 152 is located on the side of the water injection box 12 along a first direction and away from the opening 12d, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0089] Specifically, the detergent box 11 is disposed inside the first shell 151. The detergent box 11, the water injection box 12, and the hand-feeding box 17 are arranged side by side along the second direction. The second shell 152 makes full use of the side of the water injection box 12 that extends along the first direction and away from the opening 12d, which can reduce the extension size of the clothing processing equipment along the first direction. At the same time, the size of the clothing processing equipment along the second direction will not be too large, and the layout of the clothing processing equipment is highly reasonable.

[0090] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The water inlet valve 18 and the second housing 152 are located on the same side of the water injection box 12, and the water inlet valve 18 and the second housing 152 are arranged side by side along the second direction.

[0091] In other words, the water inlet valve 18 is located on the side of the water filling box 12 along the first direction and away from the opening 12d. When the user operates the detergent box 11 and the water filling box 12, the water inlet valve 18 will not interfere with the user, making the operation more convenient and smooth. While reducing the cross interference between the water inlet valve 18 pipeline and the detergent box 11 and the water filling box 12, the pipeline of the water inlet valve 18 can also be shorter, thereby reducing the risk of pipeline leakage and enhancing waterproof performance. Furthermore, it is also convenient to maintain and replace the water inlet valve 18. The water filling box 12, detergent box 11 and water inlet valve 18 are not arranged in the same direction. While reducing the size of the clothing processing equipment along the second direction, it can also improve space utilization and increase the capacity of the detergent box 11 and the water filling box 12. The water inlet valve 18 and the second shell 152 are arranged side by side along the second direction, which can also prevent the size of the clothing processing equipment along the first direction from being too large, increasing the compactness of the layout of the clothing processing equipment.

[0092] The installation location of the dispensing pump 14 is not limited.

[0093] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The second shell portion 152 is partially recessed inward along the first direction and away from the opening 12d to form a clearance space 152a. The dispensing pump 14 is disposed in the clearance space 152a. In a plane projection perpendicular to the height direction of the garment processing equipment, the dispensing pump 14 does not extend beyond the edge of the second shell portion 152 along the first direction and away from the opening 12d.

[0094] In this embodiment, the clearance space 152a formed by the second shell 152 provides installation space for the dispensing pump 14, further improving the space utilization of the clothing processing equipment. The end of the dispensing pump 14 along the first direction and away from the opening 12d does not exceed the edge of the end of the second shell 152 along the first direction and away from the opening 12d. The installation of the dispensing pump 14 does not increase the size of the clothing processing equipment along the second direction or the size of the clothing processing equipment along the first direction, making the structural layout of the clothing processing equipment more reasonable and reliable.

[0095] The method of extracting detergent by the dispensing pump 14 is not limited.

[0096] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 12The detergent box 11 has a liquid outlet 11a, and a suction channel 152b is formed inside the second shell 152. The inlet of the suction channel 152b is detachably connected to the liquid outlet 11a. An outlet is provided on the bottom wall of the suction channel 152b. The dispensing pump 14 has a suction port 14a, and the outlet is located above the suction port 14a and the two are connected along the height direction.

[0097] Specifically, when detergent needs to be extracted, the inlet of the suction channel 152b is connected to the outlet port 11a, and the dispensing pump 14 generates a suction negative pressure. Under the action of the suction negative pressure, the detergent in the detergent box 11 enters the suction channel 152b through the outlet port 11a from the inlet of the suction channel 152b, and then flows to the suction port 14a of the dispensing pump 14 through the outlet of the suction channel 152b. In this way, the dispensing pump 14 can pump the extracted detergent into the water injection box 12 through the pump outlet.

[0098] The outlet of the suction channel 152b is located above the suction port 14a, which facilitates the dispensing pump 14 to receive the detergent flowing out of the suction channel 152b and reduces the flow resistance of the detergent.

[0099] The arrangement of the suction channel 152b is not limited; for example, in some embodiments, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 9 The bottom wall of the suction channel 152b is located on the same horizontal plane.

[0100] In this way, the detergent flowing out through the liquid outlet 11a can flow smoothly and steadily to the suction port 14a of the dispensing pump 14 when passing through the suction channel 152b, with low flow resistance and high reliability of the clothing processing equipment.
