Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of accessories for washing machines, and in particular relates to a washing ball. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are still many drum washing machines on the market that do not have an automatic system for dispensing laundry products, or do not have a system for dispensing detergents including laundry detergent and softener. Therefore, due to the structural limitations of the drum washing machine, users usually need to bend over to pour the detergent into the washing tub, which is extremely inconvenient, especially for the elderly. Sometimes, the detergent will spill and stain the floor.

[0003] In view of the above problems, a washing ball is invented in the prior art to solve the problem. The washing ball includes an integrally formed shell structure, a hollow receiving chamber is provided in the shell, and a detergent delivery opening is provided on the shell. When in use, the user pours the detergent into the receiving chamber through the detergent delivery opening on the washing ball, and then throws the washing ball into the drum. During the washing process, the washing ball will turn over as the washing drum rotates, so that the detergent in the receiving chamber enters the washing drum through the detergent delivery opening to assist the washing machine in washing clothes.

[0004] However, the detergent in the laundry ball provided by the above solution is not easy to mix with the washing water entering the accommodating chamber, nor is it easy to flow into the washing drum from the delivery and discharge opening along with the washing water, and detergent residue is easy to remain in the accommodating chamber. Since the detergent does not completely enter the washing drum, the clothes may not be washed cleanly. Moreover, the residual detergent may enter the washing drum during the rinsing process, and finally the clothes may not be rinsed cleanly.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a washing ball having a stirring element added to the accommodating chamber of the washing ball, which can stir the mixed liquid of clothing treatment agent and washing water to make them fully mixed, so that the clothing treatment agent in the accommodating chamber can be completely put into the washing drum.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0008] A laundry ball is provided, comprising:

[0009] The containing cavity is used for storing the clothes treating agent;

[0010] An addition port is provided on the laundry ball and communicated with the accommodating cavity;

[0011] The stirring element is movably arranged in the accommodating cavity and is used for stirring the clothes treating agent.

[0012] The washing ball provided by the present invention has a stirring element in the receiving chamber. When the washing ball containing the laundry treatment agent is placed in the washing drum, the washing water in the washing drum enters the receiving chamber and mixes with the laundry treatment agent. During the washing process, the washing ball moves with the rotation of the washing drum, and the stirring element in the receiving chamber also moves with the movement of the washing ball to stir the laundry treatment agent so that it is fully mixed with the washing water. Thus, the detergent in the receiving chamber is mixed with the washing water and discharged from the receiving chamber through the adding port into the washing drum, thereby avoiding the residue of the laundry treatment agent in the receiving chamber and ensuring the washing effect.

[0013] Furthermore, the stirring element is a spherical structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the density of the stirring element is greater than the density of the laundry treating agent.

[0015] Furthermore, at least one stirring element is disposed in the accommodating cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, the washing ball is provided with an opening, and the washing ball extends obliquely inward from the opening to form a first top wall, and the second top wall is extended vertically toward the central axis of the washing ball along the extended end of the first top wall; the first top wall and the second top wall jointly close the opening;

[0017] A plurality of adding ports are arranged on the first top wall and / or the second top wall.

[0018] Furthermore, the diameter of the stirring member is larger than the diameter of the adding port.

[0019] Furthermore, the washing ball further comprises: a liquid through hole, and the liquid through hole is arranged at the junction of the first top wall and the side wall of the washing ball.

[0020] Furthermore, the surface of the stirring member has bristles or a protrusion structure.

[0021] Furthermore, the laundry ball also includes: a discharge port, which is arranged at a position on the laundry ball opposite to the adding port; when the clothing treatment agent is added to the accommodating cavity, the discharge port is in a closed state, and when the laundry ball is placed in the washing drum, the discharge port is opened as the washing drum rotates.

[0022] Furthermore, when adding clothing treatment agent, the stirring member is located at the position of the discharge port to close the discharge port; when the laundry ball is placed in the washing tub, the stirring member moves to other positions in the accommodating cavity to open the discharge port.

[0023] After adopting the above technical scheme, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0024] 1. The washing ball provided by the present invention has a stirring element in the receiving chamber. When the washing ball containing the laundry treatment agent is placed in the washing drum, the washing water in the washing drum enters the receiving chamber and mixes with the laundry treatment agent. During the washing process, the washing ball moves with the rotation of the washing drum, and the stirring element in the receiving chamber also moves with the movement of the washing ball to stir the laundry treatment agent so that it is fully mixed with the washing water. As a result, the detergent in the receiving chamber is mixed with the washing water and discharged from the receiving chamber through the addition port into the washing drum, avoiding the residue of the laundry treatment agent in the receiving chamber and ensuring the washing effect.

[0025] 2. The solution provided by the present invention can prevent the stirring element from floating inside the relatively viscous laundry treatment agent due to the high material density of the stirring element, thereby preventing the stirring element from being able to stir the laundry treatment agent. In addition, due to the high density of the stirring element, it is heavy. When the user puts the laundry treatment agent into the laundry ball, the stirring element can fully compress the edge of the discharge port at the bottom of the laundry ball to achieve a better sealing effect.

[0026] 3. In the solution provided by the present invention, bristles or protrusions are arranged on the surface of the stirring element, so that the stirring element can scrub the inner wall of the laundry ball, so that the clothing treatment agent attached to the inner wall of the laundry ball is fully mixed with the washing water and discharged from the accommodating cavity.

[0027] 4. In the solution provided by the present invention, since the addition port is arranged on the first top wall and the second top wall of the washing ball, compared with the washing ball with a direct opening, the top wall can prevent the laundry treatment agent in the accommodating cavity from spilling out of the addition port in large quantities when the washing ball is placed in the washing drum.

[0028] 5. In the solution provided by the present invention, the discharge port has an inclined surface that matches the surface of the stirring member, thereby enhancing the seal.

[0029] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention is a laundry ball.

[0043] The laundry ball comprises:

[0044] The containing cavity is used for storing the clothes treating agent;

[0045] An addition port is provided on the laundry ball and communicated with the accommodating cavity;

[0046] The stirring element is movably arranged in the accommodating cavity and is used for stirring the clothes treating agent.

[0047] The washing ball provided by the present invention has a stirring member arranged in the accommodating chamber, which can stir the laundry treatment agent as the washing ball moves, so that the laundry treatment agent is fully mixed with the washing water. Therefore, the detergent in the accommodating chamber is mixed with the washing water and discharged from the accommodating chamber through the adding port into the washing drum, thereby avoiding the residue of the laundry treatment agent in the accommodating chamber and ensuring the washing effect.

[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] This embodiment provides a laundry ball.

[0050] The laundry ball comprises:

[0051] The containing cavity is used for storing the clothes treating agent;

[0052] An addition port is provided on the laundry ball and communicated with the accommodating cavity;

[0053] The stirring element is movably arranged in the accommodating cavity and is used for stirring the clothes treating agent.

[0054] The laundry ball provided in this embodiment has a receiving chamber for storing laundry treatment agent, an addition port connected to the receiving chamber, and a stirring member movably arranged in the receiving chamber for stirring the laundry treatment agent. That is to say, the laundry ball includes a receiving chamber surrounded by a shell, an opening is arranged at the upper end of the shell as the addition port, and a movable stirring member is arranged inside the receiving chamber. When the laundry ball storing the laundry treatment agent is placed in the washing drum, the washing water in the washing drum enters the receiving chamber and mixes with the laundry treatment agent. During the washing process, the laundry ball moves with the rotation of the washing drum, and the stirring member in the receiving chamber also moves with the laundry ball to stir the laundry treatment agent so that it is fully mixed with the washing water. Thereby, the detergent in the receiving chamber is mixed with the washing water and discharged from the receiving chamber through the addition port into the washing drum, avoiding the residue of the laundry treatment agent in the receiving chamber, thereby ensuring the washing effect.

[0055] The solution of this embodiment also includes: the stirring element is a spherical structure.

[0056] No less than one stirring member is arranged in the accommodating cavity.

[0057] The diameter of the stirring member is larger than the diameter of the adding port.

[0058] The density of the stirring member is greater than the density of the laundry treating agent.

[0059] In the solution of this embodiment, the stirring member is a spherical structure, and the diameter of the spherical structure is larger than the diameter of the addition port, so as to ensure that the stirring member does not roll out of the accommodating cavity through the addition port when moving. In addition, in this solution, a plurality of stirring members are provided in the accommodating cavity. Since a plurality of stirring members are provided, the laundry treatment agent can be fully stirred and fully mixed with the washing water.

[0060] Of course, in other solutions of this embodiment, the stirring member can be in other shapes, for example, a spherical shape of a polyhedral structure. The specific shape is not limited in this embodiment. In addition, the number of stirring members in the accommodating cavity can also be other numbers, and the user can place the required number of stirring members in the accommodating cavity according to the needs.

[0061] In this solution, since the material density of the stirring element is relatively large, which is greater than the density of the laundry treatment agent, it is possible to prevent the stirring element from floating inside the relatively viscous laundry treatment agent and failing to stir the laundry treatment agent.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, in the scheme of this embodiment, the washing ball is provided with an opening, and the washing ball extends obliquely inward from the opening to form a first top wall, and the second top wall is extended vertically toward the central axis direction of the washing ball along the extended end of the first top wall to form a second top wall; the first top wall and the second top wall jointly close the opening;

[0063] A plurality of adding ports are provided on the first top wall and the second top wall.

[0064] An opening is provided on the top of the laundry ball, and the opening of the laundry ball is covered by the first top wall and the second top wall, and a plurality of addition ports are provided on the first top wall and the second top wall at intervals. When in use, the user can pour the laundry treatment agent into the receiving cavity of the laundry ball through the addition port, and when washing clothes, the laundry treatment agent in the receiving cavity enters the washing drum through the plurality of addition ports. Of course, if the laundry ball is not integrally formed, the shell can be opened, and the user can also open the shell to pour the laundry treatment agent into the receiving cavity.

[0065] In other solutions of this embodiment, the addition port can be only provided on the first top wall or the second top wall.

[0066] In another solution of this embodiment, the washing ball is provided with an opening, and the washing ball extends obliquely inward from the opening to form a first top wall, and the extended end of the first top wall forms a adding port.

[0067] like Figure 2As shown, in this solution, only one addition port is provided, and the addition port is formed around the end of the first top wall. In the laundry ball provided in this embodiment, since the first top wall is provided, the extended end of the first top wall forms the addition port. Compared with the laundry ball provided with a direct opening, the top wall can prevent the laundry treatment agent in the accommodating cavity from spilling out of the addition port in large quantities when the laundry ball is placed in the washing drum.

[0068] The laundry ball further comprises: the laundry ball further comprises: a liquid through hole, and the liquid through hole is arranged at the junction of the first top wall and the side wall of the laundry ball.

[0069] In this solution, the washing ball has an arc-shaped side wall, and the extended end of the side wall at the upper end of the washing ball continues to extend inwardly and tilted to form a first top wall. The liquid through hole is arranged at the position where the side wall and the first top wall are connected, and a plurality of liquid through holes are arranged at intervals.

[0070] In the solution of this embodiment, the bottom of the washing ball is in a closed state. Washing water can only enter or be discharged from the accommodating cavity through the addition port of the washing ball.

[0071] Embodiment 2

[0072] This embodiment provides a laundry ball, which is a further description based on the above embodiment.

[0073] The scheme of this embodiment also includes: the laundry ball also includes: a discharge port, which is arranged at a position on the laundry ball opposite to the adding port; when the clothing treatment agent is added to the accommodating cavity, the discharge port is in a closed state, and when the laundry ball is placed in the washing drum, the discharge port is opened as the washing drum rotates.

[0074] When adding clothes treating agent, the stirring member is located at the position of the discharge port to close the discharge port; when the laundry ball is put into the washing tub, the stirring member moves to other positions in the accommodating cavity to open the discharge port.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, the laundry ball provided by the present invention is provided with a discharge port, the discharge port is arranged at a position relative to the addition port, and the agitator opens or closes the discharge port. That is to say, the laundry ball is a accommodating cavity surrounded by a shell, an opening is arranged at the upper end of the shell as the addition port, and an opening is also arranged at the lower end of the shell as the discharge port. The positions of the addition port and the discharge port are arranged relative to each other. The agitator arranged in the accommodating cavity agitates the clothing treatment agent as the laundry ball moves. It is worth noting that the diameter of the agitator is not only larger than the diameter of the addition port, but also larger than the diameter of the discharge port.

[0076] In this scheme, only one discharge port is provided. When adding clothes treatment agent, the stirring member moves to the position of the discharge port to close the discharge port, so that the accommodating chamber can be used as a cavity for holding clothes treatment agent, and the user adds clothes treatment agent into the accommodating chamber through the addition port. During the washing process, the stirring member will move to other positions in the accommodating chamber to open the discharge port, and the clothes treatment agent in the accommodating chamber will flow into the washing drum, and the washing water in the washing drum will also enter the accommodating chamber. As the washing drum rotates, the stirring member will move in the accommodating chamber to stir the mixed liquid of clothes treatment agent and washing water, accelerate the dissolution of clothes treatment agent, and finally make the clothes treatment agent in the accommodating chamber completely dissolved in the washing water and enter the washing drum with the washing water, and there is no residue of clothes treatment agent in the accommodating chamber. In this scheme, not only is a stirring member provided, so that the clothes treatment agent and water are fully integrated. A discharge port that can be opened or closed is also provided, and a discharge channel for clothes treatment agent from the accommodating chamber is increased, so as to avoid the residue of clothes treatment agent in the accommodating chamber and ensure the washing effect.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, the scheme of this embodiment also includes: the washing ball also includes: a mounting seat of an annular structure, the outer peripheral side of which is connected to the circumference of the discharge port, and the inner peripheral side is extended to the inside of the accommodating cavity;

[0078] The seal member contacts and seals the inner peripheral side of the mounting seat.

[0079] Specifically, the mounting seat is made of flexible material.

[0080] In this solution, the washing ball also includes a mounting seat of an annular structure, which is installed at the position of the discharge port. Specifically, the outer peripheral side of the mounting seat is connected to the circumference of the discharge port, and the inner peripheral side is extended to the inside of the accommodating cavity. In other words, the mounting seat has a bending portion, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the washing ball, and the other end is extended toward the inside of the accommodating cavity. Since the material of the stirring member in this solution is a high-density hard material. When the stirring member closes the discharge port, the outer peripheral side of the stirring member abuts against the inner peripheral side of the mounting seat to seal the discharge port.

[0081] In addition, the mounting seat is made of a flexible material and has a certain deformation space, so that the sealing performance is better when the stirring element and the mounting seat are in contact.

[0082] In a further solution of this embodiment, the mounting seat has a spherical surface that matches the surface of the stirring member, thereby strengthening the seal.

[0083] like Figure 6 As shown, in a further solution of this embodiment, a sealing lip extending toward the center of the washing ball is provided on the mounting seat.

[0084] In this solution, a sealing lip is provided on the mounting seat, and the sealing lip is extended toward the center of the washing ball. The sealing lip is made of a flexible material. Due to the provision of the sealing lip, the sealing between the stirring element and the mounting seat is strengthened.

[0085] In the solution provided in this embodiment, a double sealing method of a stirring member and a sealing lip is adopted at the position of the discharge port. The sealing lip is compressed and deformed under the dead weight of the stirring member ball, thereby improving the sealing reliability.

[0086] In other solutions of this embodiment, the stirring element can be made of a flexible material, while the mounting seat can be made of a hard material. In this way, the mounting seat can be integrally formed with the housing of the washing ball, saving manufacturing steps and costs. Since the stirring element has a high density and is therefore heavy, when the user puts clothing treatment agent into the washing ball, the stirring element can fully compress the elastic mounting seat at the bottom of the washing ball to achieve a better sealing effect.

[0087] In another solution of this embodiment, a plurality of discharge ports are provided.

[0088] like Figure 5 As shown, in this solution, multiple discharge ports are provided. Specifically, each discharge port corresponds to a stirring member. The number of stirring members provided is not less than the number of discharge ports provided. In order to improve the sealing effect between the stirring member and the discharge port, the discharge port has an inclined surface that matches the surface of the stirring member.

[0089] Of course, a plurality of the mounting seats in the above-mentioned solution may be provided corresponding to the plurality of discharge ports, and the mounting seats may be provided with sealing lips correspondingly.

[0090] The solution of this embodiment also includes: the surface of the stirring member has bristles.

[0091] In the solution of this embodiment, bristles are arranged on the spherical surface of the stirring element, so that the inner wall of the laundry ball can be scrubbed during the movement of the stirring element, so that the clothing treatment agent attached to the inner wall of the laundry ball can be fully mixed with the washing water and discharged from the accommodating cavity.

[0092] In another solution of this embodiment, the surface of the stirring member has a protruding structure.

[0093] Specifically, a plurality of convex structures are arranged at intervals on the surface of the spherical structure, and the chord length between any two convex structures is equal to the diameter of the discharge port.

[0094] In this solution, a plurality of protrusion structures made of flexible material are arranged at intervals on the spherical surface of the stirring member, so that the protrusion structures can scrape the inner wall of the washing ball during the movement of the stirring member, so that the clothes treatment agent attached to the inner wall of the washing ball is fully mixed with the washing water and discharged from the accommodating cavity. In addition, since the chord length between any two protrusion structures is equal to the diameter of the discharge port, when the user wants to adjust the clothes treatment agent in the washing ball, the washing ball can be shaken to make the protrusion structure of the stirring member stuck on the bottom wall around the discharge port, and the protrusion structure positions the stirring member so that the stirring member seals the discharge port.

[0095] In this embodiment, the accommodating cavity of the laundry ball is surrounded by a shell. The shell of the laundry ball is not an integrally formed structure. The shell can be provided as a first shell and a second shell, and the first shell and the second shell are detachably connected by a buckle or other means. The first shell and the second shell are opened to put the stirring element into the accommodating cavity.

[0096] Specifically, the first shell and the second shell are both hemispherical structures. Wherein, the addition and discharge port is arranged on the first shell. That is to say, the lower end of the first shell has an opening, and the upper end has an addition port. At the open position of the first shell, the peripheral wall thickness of the first shell increases, and a groove with an opening toward the surface of the first shell is extended in the direction of the central axis of the washing ball. Specifically, at the open end of the first shell, the first shell first extends vertically in the direction of the central axis of the washing ball to form a first groove wall, and at the extended end of the first groove wall and perpendicular to the first groove wall, it continues to extend toward the bottom wall of the second shell to form a second groove wall, and at the end of the second groove wall, it is parallel to the first groove wall and extends toward the surface direction of the first shell to form a third groove wall. The shell side wall of the open end of the second shell is extended in the direction of the central axis of the washing ball and is provided with a protruding structure. When in use, the protruding structure on the second shell is inserted into the groove on the first shell so that the first shell and the second shell are connected to form a accommodating cavity.

[0097] Since the shell is configured as a detachable structure, the user can decide how many stirring elements to put into the accommodating cavity each time according to his or her needs and the clothes treating agent to be put in, which is convenient for operation.

[0098] Embodiment 3

[0099] This embodiment provides a laundry ball, which is a further description based on the above solution.

[0100] The solution of this embodiment includes: the hardness of the first shell and the hardness of the second shell are different;

[0101] The first shell and / or the second shell is deformed by external force, the protrusion structure escapes from the groove, and the first shell and the second shell are separated to release the clothing treatment agent.

[0102] In the solution of this embodiment, the first shell and the second shell of the laundry ball have different hardnesses. When the first shell and the second shell have different hardnesses, the first shell and the second shell will have different deformation amounts when subjected to the same force. When the deformation amounts are larger than one, the protrusion structure on the second shell will come out of the groove on the first shell, and the first shell and the second shell will be partially separated to release the laundry treatment agent.

[0103] In one solution of this embodiment, the laundry ball is made of an elastic soft material, and the first shell and the second shell are made of two materials with different hardness and large friction coefficient. Among them, the hardness of the first shell is greater than that of the second shell. Since the hardness of the second shell is smaller, the deformation caused by the force during the washing process is larger, so the protrusion structure on the second shell extends from the groove structure on the first shell, the first shell and the second shell are opened, and the clothing treatment agent in the accommodating cavity is released in the washing drum. In other words, the laundry ball is broken by being hit inside the washing drum, or is squeezed and deformed and broken, thereby releasing the clothing treatment agent.

[0104] As a preferred solution of this embodiment, the hardness of the first shell is less than the hardness of the second shell;

[0105] The first shell is squeezed and deformed by external force, causing the accommodating cavity to deform, and the protruding structure extends out from the groove, and the first shell and the second shell are separated to release the laundry treating agent.

[0106] The hardness of the first shell and the second shell of the laundry ball is different. In this embodiment, the laundry ball is made of an elastic soft material, and the first shell and the second shell are made of two materials with different hardness and large friction coefficient. Among them, the hardness of the first shell is less than that of the second shell. Since the hardness of the first shell is relatively small, the deformation under the force during the washing process is relatively large, so the protrusion structure on the second shell is disengaged from the groove structure on the first shell, the first shell and the second shell are opened, and the clothing treatment agent in the accommodating cavity is released in the washing drum. In other words, the laundry ball is broken by being hit inside the washing drum, or is squeezed and deformed and broken, thereby releasing the clothing treatment agent.

[0107] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modify the technical contents suggested above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the solution of the present invention.
