Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of washing equipment, and in particular relates to an outer drum of a washing equipment and the washing equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of technologies related to clothing treatment equipment, it can bring great convenience to users. Most families need to purchase a variety of clothing treatment equipment. At this time, the user's recognition of clothing treatment equipment directly determines the user's purchase goal of replacing clothing treatment equipment.

[0003] In the washing process, the existing washing equipment is prone to eccentricity due to the uneven weight distribution of the laundry, which causes the washing equipment to move or the dehydration and drying rate to be low, thus affecting the user's satisfaction. At present, in order to ensure the dehydration effect, some washing machines increase the weight of the washing equipment, resulting in a large weight and volume of the washing equipment, increasing the usage area and logistics costs.

[0004] Chinese patent application number 201410599273.2 discloses a washing tub shock absorbing device, including a suspension rod, a cross rod and a sliding sleeve rod connecting the suspension rod and the cross rod, the cross rod is installed on the washing tub, the upper mounting portion of the suspension rod is installed on the washing machine housing, and the lower mounting portion is installed on the washing tub. The cross rod controls the lateral shaking and vibration of the washing tub, and the suspension rod controls the shaking and vibration of the washing tub in the depth direction, thereby reducing the vibration of the washing tub when the washing tub is working, reducing the working noise and the overall vibration of the washing machine.

[0005] The above-mentioned washing tub shock absorbing device controls the vibration in the depth direction of the washing tub through the suspension rod, but because the suspension rod needs to be set at an angle, it occupies more external space of the washing tub, making the washing equipment larger in size, and the suspension rod structure is complex, resulting in a large overall weight and relatively insufficient stability in use.

[0006] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an outer drum of a washing device and a washing device, wherein external water flow is injected into the storage cavity of the outer drum to increase the weight of the outer drum, thereby overcoming the eccentric displacement of the washing device caused by the uneven weight distribution of the washed clothes, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the load eccentricity of the washing device, improving the stability of the washing process of the washing device, and improving the dehydration and spin-drying effect.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0012] Furthermore, an internal water channel is provided in the storage cavity, and the internal water channel extends around the bottom circumference of the outer cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the internal water channel is formed by the bottom wall of the outer cylinder extending along a direction parallel to the axis of the outer cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, partition plates are arranged in the internal water channel, and the partition plates are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the internal water channel.

[0015] Furthermore, a through groove is provided on the partition plate, and an extending direction of the groove is consistent with an axial direction of the partition plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the internal water channel includes a first water channel, a second water channel, a third water channel, and a fourth water channel that are arranged at intervals, and the first water channel, the second water channel, the third water channel, and the fourth water channel are interconnected.

[0017] Furthermore, the first water channel is arranged around the axis of the outer cylinder, the second water channel is arranged on the periphery of the first water channel, the third water channel is arranged on the periphery of the second water channel, and the fourth water channel is arranged on the periphery of the third water channel.

[0018] Furthermore, the distance between the fourth water channel and the axis of the outer cylinder is greater than the distance between the third water channel, the second water channel, the first water channel and the axis of the outer cylinder.

[0019] Furthermore, the outer cylinder is provided with a water inlet and a drain outlet. The water inlet is arranged on one side of the outer cylinder and is communicated with an external water supply module and the storage cavity respectively; the drain outlet is communicated with the storage cavity.

[0035] During the washing process, the existing washing equipment may easily become eccentric due to the uneven weight distribution of the laundry, causing the washing equipment to move, thereby affecting the user's satisfaction.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] To solve the above technical problems, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an outer drum 1 of a washing device, comprising:

[0038] The outer cylinder 1 comprises a storage chamber 2, and the storage chamber 2 is arranged at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1;

[0039] The external water flow is injected into the storage chamber 2 to increase the weight of the outer cylinder 1 and adjust the load eccentricity generated when the outer cylinder 1 rotates.

[0040] In the above solution, the washing device comprises an outer tub 1, and a storage chamber 2 is arranged in the outer tub 1, and the storage chamber 2 can be used to store water.

[0041] Furthermore, the storage chamber 2 is arranged at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1. The bottom of the outer cylinder 1 mentioned here refers to the side of the outer cylinder 1 that is rotatably matched with the reducer. The storage chamber 2 is arranged at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1, and there is no need to separately arrange a storage space in the outer cylinder 1, thereby improving the space utilization of the outer cylinder 1 and simplifying the structural layout of the outer cylinder 1.

[0042] In the specific implementation process, the washing device is in the washing process. Due to the uneven weight distribution of the laundry, the washing device becomes eccentric, causing the washing device to move, or reducing the dehydration rate of the washing device, affecting the user experience. At this time, external water is injected into the storage cavity 2 at the bottom of the outer drum 1, thereby increasing the weight of the outer drum 1, that is, by increasing the weight of the washing device by injecting water, the eccentric movement amplitude of the washing device can be reduced, thereby adjusting the load eccentricity generated by the rotation of the outer drum 1 and maintaining the stability of the washing device.

[0043] Such arrangement, by injecting external water flow into the storage chamber 2 of the outer drum 1, is used to increase the weight of the outer drum 1, overcome the eccentric displacement of the washing device caused by the uneven weight distribution of the washed clothes, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the load eccentricity of the washing device, improving the stability of the washing process of the washing device, and then ensuring the dehydration effect of the washing device; and the dehydration effect can be ensured without increasing the weight of the whole machine, effectively reducing the weight of the washing device and reducing the volume of the washing device, thereby achieving the effect of reducing logistics costs and the cost of the whole machine.

[0044] In addition, when the washing device is in the process of heating and washing, after the washing device completes washing, water can be injected into the storage chamber 2 of the outer tub 1 to cool the outer tub 1, thereby shortening the time required for cooling the outer tub 1 and ensuring the structural strength of the outer tub 1.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in a further solution of this embodiment, an internal water channel 3 is provided in the storage chamber 2 , and the internal water channel 3 extends around the bottom circumference of the outer cylinder 1 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the cross section of the bottom of the outer cylinder 1 is a circular surface. The size and shape of the cross section of the bottom of the outer cylinder 1 can be adaptively adjusted according to specific usage requirements.

[0047] Specifically, a storage chamber 2 is provided at the bottom of the outer tub 1 for storing water injected from the outside. An internal water channel 3 is provided in the storage chamber 2, and external water flows into the storage chamber 2, that is, water flows into the internal water channel 3, and flows in the internal water channel 3 to increase the weight of the outer tub 1, thereby realizing the load eccentricity adjustment process of the washing device.

[0048] Furthermore, the internal water channel 3 is extended around the bottom circumference of the outer tube 1 .

[0049] Specifically, the cross section of the bottom of the outer cylinder 1 is a circular surface. The internal water channel 3 is arranged at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1, and the internal water channel 3 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the bottom of the outer cylinder 1, that is, the internal water channel 3 is arranged in a circular ring shape at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1.

[0050] In a specific implementation process, when the washing device is in the washing process, the load eccentricity of the outer tub 1 occurs due to the uneven weight of the laundry. At this time, the external water flow is injected into the internal water channel 3 of the storage chamber 2, and the water flow flows along the circumferential direction of the internal water channel 3, thereby increasing the weight of the outer tub 1, which is beneficial to increasing the anti-eccentricity capability of the washing device.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, in a further solution of this embodiment, the internal water channel 3 is formed by the bottom wall of the outer cylinder 1 extending in a direction parallel to the axis of the outer cylinder 1 .

[0052] Specifically, the storage chamber 2 is provided with an internal water channel 3, and the internal water channel 3 is formed by the protrusion and extension of the bottom wall of the outer cylinder 1. The internal water channel 3 is protruded from the bottom wall of the outer cylinder 1 to form a space for storing external water flow.

[0053] More specifically, the internal water channel 3 is formed by the bottom wall of the outer tub 1 extending in a direction parallel to the axis of the outer tub 1. The internal water channel 3 is convexly arranged on the bottom wall of the outer tub 1 and extends along the axis of the outer tub 1, that is, it extends outward from the bottom wall of the outer tub 1 for a certain length to form a space for external water to flow, which is used to increase the weight of the outer tub 1 and realize the load eccentricity adjustment process of the washing device.

[0054] In this embodiment, the extension length of the internal water channel 3 in the axial direction of the outer tube 1 can be adaptively adjusted according to specific usage requirements, which will not be elaborated here.

[0055] Embodiment 2

[0056] This embodiment is a further description of the above embodiment 1.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, in a further solution of this embodiment, a partition plate 4 is arranged in the internal water channel 3 , and the partition plates 4 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the internal water channel 3 .

[0058] Specifically, the internal water channel 3 is arranged on the bottom wall of the outer tub 1 and extends along the axial direction of the outer tub 1. A partition plate 4 is arranged in the internal water channel 3, and the partition plate 4 is used to divide the internal water channel 3 into a plurality of chambers, each of which can be used to store and circulate external water. In this way, by arranging the partition plate 4 in the internal water channel 3, the internal water channel 3 is divided into a plurality of chambers, which can facilitate the storage of externally injected water flow and facilitate the adjustment of the load eccentricity of the washing device.

[0059] Furthermore, the partition plates 4 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the internal water channel 3 .

[0060] Specifically, the internal water channel 3 is arranged around the circumference of the bottom of the outer tube 1. The partition plates 4 are arranged in the internal water channel 3 and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the internal water channel 3, so as to divide the internal water channel 3 into a plurality of chambers.

[0061] In this embodiment, the number and shape of the partition plates 4 of the internal water channel 3 can be adaptively adjusted according to specific usage requirements, which will not be elaborated here.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, in a further solution of the present embodiment, a through groove 41 is formed on the partition plate 4 , and an extending direction of the groove 41 is consistent with an axial direction of the partition plate 4 .

[0063] Specifically, the partition plates 4 are arranged in the internal water channel 3 and are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the internal water channel 3. The partition plates 4 are provided with penetrating grooves 41, that is, the partition plates 4 divide the internal water channel 3 into a plurality of chambers, and the chambers are interconnected, so as to realize the flow of external water in the internal water channel 3, increase the water storage capacity of the internal water channel 3, and further facilitate the adjustment of the eccentricity of the washing device.

[0064] Furthermore, the extending direction of the groove 41 is consistent with the axial direction of the partition plate 4 .

[0065] Specifically, the bottom wall of the outer cylinder 1 extends a certain length along the axial direction thereof, and extends a certain length along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer cylinder 1, to form the partition plate 4. The partition plate 4 is provided with a through groove 41, and the extending direction of the groove 41 is consistent with the axial direction of the partition plate 4, that is, the groove 41 extends along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer cylinder 1 on the partition plate 4. In this way, the extending direction of the groove 41 is consistent with the axial direction of the partition plate 4, which is conducive to the circulation of external water in the internal waterway 3, and facilitates the adjustment process of the above-mentioned eccentricity phenomenon.

The above water channels are interconnected, so that water injected from the outside can flow from one water channel to another water channel, thereby increasing the partial weight of the outer tub 1 and adjusting the diagonal eccentricity of the washing device.

[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, in a further solution of the present embodiment, the first water channel 31 is arranged around the axis of the outer tube 1, the second water channel 32 is arranged on the periphery of the first water channel 31, the third water channel 33 is arranged on the periphery of the second water channel 32, and the fourth water channel 34 is arranged on the periphery of the third water channel 33.

[0073] Specifically, the first water channel 31, the second water channel 32, the third water channel 33 and the fourth water channel 34 are arranged in the internal water channel 3 at intervals.

[0074] In a further solution of this embodiment, the distance between the fourth water channel 34 and the axis of the outer tube 1 is greater than the distance between the third water channel 33 , the second water channel 32 , the first water channel 31 and the axis of the outer tube 1 .

[0075] Specifically, the distance between the first water channel 31 and the axis of the outer cylinder 1 is the smallest, that is, the first water channel 31 is arranged around the axis of the outer cylinder 1.
