For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] The present application embodiment provides a clothes processing device 1, see Figures 1 to 9 , including an inner barrel 10, a first water inlet waterway, a second water inlet waterway and a detergent dispensing device 11.

[0044] The specific type of the clothing processing device 1 is not limited, and it can be a pulsator washing machine, a washer-dryer, etc., and is not limited here.

[0045] The inner tub 10 has a laundry treatment chamber 10a, and a top end of the laundry treatment chamber 10a has an opening.

[0046] It is understandable that in some embodiments, the clothes processing device 1 has only an inner barrel 10, and the inner barrel 10 holds clothes and water required for washing clothes through its own clothes processing chamber 10a, that is, in this embodiment, the inner barrel 10 can hold both clothes and water, and in this case, the inner barrel 10 can be called a hole-free inner barrel 10. In other embodiments, the clothes processing device 1 includes an outer barrel, which is mounted outside the inner barrel 10, and the outer barrel is used to hold water required for washing clothes, and the inner barrel 10 is used to hold clothes. In this embodiment, the inner barrel 10 holds water through the outer barrel, and the inner barrel 10 can also be called a hole-type inner barrel 10.

[0047] The first water inlet waterway and the second water inlet waterway are respectively connected to the clothing processing chamber 10a, and water from an external water source (for example, tap water) can be injected into the clothing processing chamber 10a through the first water inlet waterway and the second water inlet waterway to improve the water inlet efficiency of the clothing processing device 1.

[0048] The detergent delivery device 11 is used to deliver detergent to the first water inlet waterway, that is, the inlet water flow on the first water inlet waterway can carry the detergent to flow to the clothing processing chamber 10a, and the inlet water flow can flush the detergent to promote the dissolution and foaming of the detergent.

[0049] For some examples, see Figure 3 The clothing processing device 1 includes a water injection box 15, the space inside the water injection box 15 defines at least a part of the first water inlet waterway, the detergent dispensing device 11 dispenses detergent into the water injection box 15, water from an external water source is injected into the water injection box 15, and the inlet water flow carries the detergent and is discharged from the water injection box 15 and injected into the clothing processing chamber 10a.

[0050] It is understandable that there is no limit to the method of adding detergent, which can be manually adding detergent to the first water inlet waterway or automatically adding detergent to the first water inlet waterway. The type of detergent is not limited, and can be laundry detergent, softener, disinfectant, etc.

[0051] It can be understood that the inlet water flow from the first water inlet waterway can carry detergent and be directly injected into the clothing processing chamber 10a, or it can carry detergent and be indirectly injected into the clothing processing chamber 10a. For example, in some examples, the clothing processing device only includes an inner barrel, and the water flow from the first water inlet waterway carries detergent and is directly injected into the clothing processing chamber; in other examples, the clothing processing device 1 includes an inner barrel 10 and an outer barrel, and the water flow from the first water inlet waterway can carry detergent and be directly injected into the clothing processing chamber 10a, or it can carry detergent and be injected between the inner barrel 10 and the outer barrel, and then enter the clothing processing chamber 10a.

[0052] In some examples, an electrolysis device may be provided on the first water inlet waterway, and the inlet water flow of the first water inlet waterway first flows through the electrolysis device to be electrolyzed, and the electrolyzed water generated after the electrolysis then contacts the clothes to sterilize and disinfect the clothes and improve the cleaning effect.

[0053] The end of the second water inlet waterway is provided with a jet port 13a, that is, the water flow from the second water inlet waterway flows into the laundry processing chamber 10a through the jet port 13a.

[0054] The injection port 13 a is used to discharge water at least toward the circumferential side wall of the inner tub 10 .

[0055] It should be noted that the water flow from the second water inlet circuit is directly connected to the clothing processing chamber 10a, that is, when the clothing processing device 1 includes an inner barrel 10 and an outer barrel, the water flow from the second water inlet circuit directly enters the clothing processing chamber 10a, and the water sprayed from the injection port 13a is directly sprayed toward the inner barrel 10 without being injected between the inner barrel 10 and the outer barrel.

[0056] It is understandable that when the clothes processing device is in use, foam, lint and the like will inevitably remain on the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel. If they are not cleaned in time, they will contaminate the clothes to be washed next time.

[0057] In the clothing processing device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the water flow sprayed from the jet port 13a can wash away impurities such as foam attached to the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10, and the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10 is cleaned in all directions under the rotation of the inner barrel 10, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of the inner barrel 10. On the one hand, there is no need to manually disassemble the inner barrel 10 to clean the inner barrel 10, and the operation is convenient. The inner barrel 10 can be cleaned only through the jet port 13a, and the jet port 13a does not need to be too large. There is no need to additionally set a cleaning component on the inner barrel 10, and the structure is simple and the cleaning effect is good. On the other hand, the jet port 13a can also assist in wetting clothes while cleaning the inner barrel 10 to increase the washing effect. The clothing processing device 1 can complete the cleaning of the inner barrel 10 while cleaning the clothes, and there is no need to additionally set a cleaning program to clean the inner barrel 10. In this way, the cleaning process of the inner barrel 10 is simple and convenient, and the operating time of the clothing processing device 1 can be reduced, saving water and energy.

[0058] It should be noted that the injection port 13a is at least used to discharge water toward the circumferential side wall of the inner tub 10, which includes at least two situations.

[0059] First, the injection port 13a is only used to discharge water toward the circumferential inner wall of the inner tub 10. That is, the water flow sprayed from the injection port 13a can first rush toward the circumferential inner wall of the inner tub 10, and then flow to the bottom of the inner tub 10.

[0060] The second type is that the jet port 13a discharges water toward both the circumferential inner wall of the inner tub 10 and the clothes in the inner tub 10. That is, part of the water flow sprayed from the jet port 13a is sprayed toward the circumferential inner wall of the inner tub 10 and then flows toward the bottom of the inner tub 10, and the other part is directly sprayed toward the clothes.

[0061] It is understandable that when the water flow of the first water inlet waterway carries detergent and is injected into the clothing processing chamber, the water flow entering the inner barrel will be concentrated and sprayed on the clothes, which is not conducive to the soaking of the clothes. When there are more clothes in the inner barrel or the clothes in the inner barrel are down jackets and other clothes that are not easy to soak or float, it is easy for the clothes to start washing but the clothes are not completely soaked, thereby reducing the washing effect of the clothing processing equipment.

[0062] Therefore, in this embodiment, when the first water inlet waterway injects water into the clothing processing chamber 10a, a part of the water flow of the second water inlet waterway rushes toward the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10, and the other part rushes toward the clothing. In this way, the water flow sprayed from the injection port 13a can form a fan-shaped water flow. The fan-shaped water flow has a large coverage area and can evenly soak the clothing, thereby increasing the washing effect of the clothing processing device 1.

[0063] The shape of the injection port 13a is not limited. For some examples, please refer to Figure 5 The injection port 13a is flat and expanded, and the expansion angle α1 is 45°~162°, that is, 45°≤α1≤162°, for example, 45°, 50°, 60°, 72°, 80°, 90°, 105°, 120°, 135°, 145°, 150°, 162°, etc.

[0064] It should be noted that the expansion angle is the angle between the extension lines of the outflow water flows at both ends of the injection port 13a along the expansion direction.

[0065] The jet port 13a is flat and expanded, which is convenient for forming a fan-shaped water flow. The water flow sprayed from the jet port 13a can have a larger water outlet range. Each time the jet port 13a discharges water, it can have a larger coverage area on the inner barrel 10, which is convenient for the jet port 13a to spray toward the circumferential inner wall and bottom wall of the inner barrel 10 at the same time. At the same time, the jet port 13a is flat and expanded, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the jet port 13a will not be too large. The water flow sprayed from the jet port 13a can also have a sufficient flow rate. When the jet port 13a discharges water toward the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10, it can have sufficient impact force to flush the inner barrel 10.

[0066] It is understandable that if the expansion angle of the jet port is too large, the range of the water flow sprayed from the jet port will be too large, and part of the water flow will easily splash outside the inner barrel, thereby damaging the electrical components in the clothing processing equipment, causing the clothing processing equipment to malfunction, which is not conducive to the safe use of the clothing processing equipment; if the expansion angle of the jet port is too small, the range of the water flow sprayed from the jet port will be too small, and the coverage area on the inner barrel is small. The water flow sprayed from the jet port cannot comprehensively flush the inner barrel under the rotation of the inner barrel, and the cleaning effect of the inner barrel is poor.

[0067] Therefore, in this embodiment, the expansion angle of the jet port 13a is appropriate, so that the water sprayed from the jet port 13a can ensure that the inner barrel 10 can be fully flushed while also having good working stability, thereby reducing the probability of water splashing outside the inner barrel 10 and affecting the safety performance of the clothing processing device 1.

[0068] In some examples, the injection port 13 a extends obliquely downward in a direction away from the rotation axis L1 of the inner tub 10 .

[0069] That is to say, the jet port 13a is arranged close to the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10. In this way, the distance between the jet port 13a and the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10 can be shortened, which facilitates the jet port 13a to discharge water toward the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10, reduces the requirement for the flow rate of the water sprayed from the jet port 13a, and the water sprayed from the jet port 13a can have a larger coverage area in the height direction of the inner barrel 10, which facilitates the flushing of the inner barrel 10.

[0070] It should be noted that the rotation axis L1 refers to the central axis of the inner barrel 10 when it rotates clockwise or counterclockwise along the circumferential direction, and the inner barrel 10 rotates based on the rotation axis L1.

[0071] For some examples, see Fig. 9 The included angle α2 between the extending direction of the injection port 13a and the rotation axis L1 is 20° to 80°, that is, 20°≤α2≤80°. For example, 20°, 25°, 30°, 36°, 45°, 50°, 60°, 68°, 72°, 80°, etc.

[0072] It can be understood that when the angle between the extension direction of the jet port and the rotation axis is too large, the water flow sprayed from the jet port 13a is easy to spray out of the inner barrel, affecting the components on the outside of the inner barrel. When the angle between the extension direction of the jet port and the rotation axis is too small, the water flow sprayed from the jet port has insufficient coverage in the circumferential direction of the inner barrel, and the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel away from the bottom of the inner barrel is easy to not be covered and cleaned by the water flow, thereby affecting the cleaning of the inner barrel.

[0073] Therefore, in this embodiment, the angle between the extension direction of the jet port 13a and the rotation axis L1 is appropriate, and the water flow sprayed from the jet port 13a can clean the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10 more comprehensively, and the water flow sprayed from the jet port 13a will not be sprayed to the outside of the inner barrel 10, thereby increasing the working reliability of the clothing processing device 1.

[0074] For some examples, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clothing processing device 1 includes a workbench 12 and a cover plate 13. The workbench 12 is located on the top side of the inner barrel 10. The workbench 12 has a clothing loading port 12a connected to the clothing processing chamber 10a. That is, the clothing to be washed can be put into the clothing processing chamber 10a from the top side through the clothing loading port 12a, and the washed clothing can also be taken out of the clothing processing chamber 10a through the clothing loading port 12a.

[0075] A portion of the side wall of the clothing inlet 12 a protrudes toward the central area of ​​the clothing inlet 12 a and defines a protruding portion 121 . The cover plate 13 is disposed on the bottom side of the protruding portion 121 , and the spray port 13 a is disposed on the cover plate 13 .

[0076] That is to say, in the projection of the jet port 13a along the inner barrel 10, the projection of the jet port 13a is located within the projection of the inner barrel 10, so that the water sprayed from the jet port 13a is almost entirely sprayed toward the inner barrel 10, and the water sprayed from the jet port 13a can be sprayed toward the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10 in all directions under the rotation of the inner barrel 10 to clean the inner barrel 10, and the jet port 13a is arranged close to the inner barrel 10 to shorten the distance between the jet port 13a and the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10. When the water sprayed from the jet port 13a is sprayed toward the inner barrel 10, it can have a certain flushing force, thereby reducing the requirement for the flow rate of the water sprayed from the jet port 13a and improving the cleaning effect of the inner barrel 10.

[0077] The detergent dispensing device 11 can be set on the protrusion 121 for easy use. The workbench 12 is used to provide an installation space for the detergent dispensing device 11, so that the structural layout of the clothing processing equipment 1 is more compact. In addition, the spray port 13a is located on the bottom side of the protrusion 121, and the water sprayed from the spray port 13a will not affect the detergent dispensing device 11.

[0078] The cover plate 13 and the protrusion 121 can be connected together by snapping, which is easy to install and disassemble; the cover plate 13 and the protrusion 121 can also be doubly fixed by snapping and threading, thereby improving the connection strength and reliability between the cover plate 13 and the protrusion 121.

[0079] It is understandable that a lighting lamp may also be provided on the cover plate 13, and the lighting lamp is used to provide a light source for the inner tub 10. In this way, the cover plate 13 can support and protect the protrusion 121, reducing the probability of damage to the protrusion 121, and at the same time, the cover plate 13 can also provide installation space for the injection port 13a and the lighting lamp, thereby increasing the compactness of the layout of the laundry processing device 1.

[0080] The specific structure of the cover plate 13 is not limited.

[0081] For some examples, see Figures 5 to 8 The cover plate 13 includes a plate body 131, a pipe joint 132 and a protrusion 133. The protrusion 133 protrudes from the side of the plate body 131 toward the rotation axis L1 of the inner barrel 10. The space inside the protrusion 133 defines at least a part of the second water inlet waterway, and the injection port 13a is arranged on the protrusion 133.

[0082] In this way, when the jet port 13a sprays water toward the inner tub 10, the probability of spraying toward the plate body 131 can be reduced, and the probability of affecting the operation of the workbench 12 can be reduced. At the same time, the jet port 13a can be directed toward both the circumferential inner wall of the inner tub 10 and the bottom wall of the inner tub 10, so as to facilitate soaking of clothes and improve the washing effect.

[0083] It can be understood that the space within the protrusion 133 defines at least a portion of the second water inlet waterway. The space within the protrusion 133 can define a portion of the second water inlet waterway, or the space within the protrusion 133 can define the entire second water inlet waterway, and water from the external water source is sprayed out from the injection port 13a through the protrusion 133.

[0084] The pipe joint 132 is disposed on a side of the plate 131 away from the rotation axis L1 and communicated with the injection port 13 a . The laundry processing device 1 includes a first pipeline 14 connected to the pipe joint 132 for supplying water to the pipe joint 132 .

[0085] Water from the external water source is sprayed out from the spray port 13a through the first pipe 14 and the pipe joint 132. When the spray port 13a sprays water toward the inner tub 10, it will not interfere with the pipe joint 132 and the first pipe 14, thereby increasing the structural stability of the clothing processing device 1.

[0086] For some examples, see Figure 5 The protrusion 133 has an inclined surface 133a, the inclined surface 133a is away from the rotation axis L1 of the inner barrel 10, and the bottom end of the inclined surface 133a extends downwardly in a direction close to the rotation axis L1, and the injection port 13a passes through the inclined surface 133a.

[0087] The setting of the inclined surface 133a facilitates the injection port 13a to have a larger injection range in the height direction of the inner barrel 10, so that the water flow sprayed from the inner barrel 10 can cover both the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10 close to the bottom side of the inner barrel 10 and the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10 away from the bottom side of the inner barrel 10, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and increasing the cleaning effect.

[0088] In some embodiments, the angle between the inclined surface 133a and the rotation axis L1 is 20° to 80°, for example, 20°, 25°, 30°, 36°, 45°, 50°, 60°, 68°, 72°, 80°, etc.

[0089] It can be understood that when the angle between the inclined surface and the rotation axis is too large, the water sprayed from the jet port is easy to spray out of the inner barrel, affecting the components on the outside of the inner barrel. When the angle between the inclined surface and the rotation axis is too small, the water sprayed from the jet port has insufficient coverage in the circumferential direction of the inner barrel, and the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel away from the bottom of the inner barrel is easy to not be covered and cleaned by the water flow, thereby affecting the cleaning effect of the inner barrel.

[0090] Therefore, in this embodiment, the angle between the inclined surface 133a and the rotation axis L1 is appropriate. When the jet port 13a performs all-round cleaning on the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10, the water sprayed from the jet port 13a will not spray out of the outside of the inner barrel 10, thereby increasing the working reliability of the clothing processing device 1.

[0091] The specific structure of the detergent dispensing device 11 is not limited.

[0092] For some examples, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The detergent dispensing device 11 includes a dispensing pump 111 and a storage box 112. The dispensing pump 111 is used to extract the detergent in the storage box 112 and dispense it into the first water inlet waterway.

[0093] The storage box 112 is used to store detergent, and the space in the storage box 112 can be partitioned into a plurality of sub-spaces as needed. For example, one sub-space is used to hold laundry detergent, and another sub-space is used to hold softener.

[0094] The storage box 112 may be made of a light-transmitting material so that the detergent stored in the storage box 112 is exposed to the user's field of vision, that is, the user can intuitively see the amount of detergent remaining in the storage box 112 so that the user can replenish the detergent in time.

[0095] A detection element may also be provided in the storage box 112. When the detection element detects that the detergent in the storage box 112 is below a warning line, a prompt signal may be sent to the user to prompt the user to replenish the detergent.

[0096] The delivery pump 111 can generate negative pressure, so that the detergent in the storage box 112 enters the delivery pump 111 under the action of the negative pressure, and the delivery pump 111 then delivers the detergent to the first water inlet waterway, thereby automatically delivering the detergent to the clothing processing chamber 10a.

[0097] In the present embodiment, the clothing processing device 1 dispenses detergent in an automatic manner. When the clothing processing device 1 needs to perform washing or the final rinse, it can automatically and quantitatively dispense sufficient detergent without the need for manual operation by the user, thereby increasing the user experience. In addition, it can effectively avoid multiple rinsing caused by manual addition of too much detergent, reduce the chance of wasting water resources and detergent, and reduce the chance of insufficient washing of clothes due to insufficient manual addition of detergent, thereby increasing the washing effect. Without adding a new cleaning program, it can realize automatic detergent dispensing and automatic cleaning of the inner barrel 10. The whole process is simple and convenient, thereby increasing the ease of use of the clothing processing device 1.

[0098] For some examples, see Figure 3 The clothing processing device 1 includes a water inlet valve 16, which includes a water inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet. The first water inlet waterway is connected to the first outlet, and the second water inlet waterway is connected to the second outlet. The water inlet valve 16 can selectively connect the water inlet to the first outlet and / or the second outlet.

[0099] It should be noted that the water inlet valve 16 can selectively connect the water inlet to the first outlet and / or the second outlet in a variety of situations. For example, in some examples, the water inlet valve 16 connects the water inlet to the first outlet but not to the second outlet, that is, at this time, only the first water inlet waterway injects water into the clothing processing chamber 10a. In other examples, the water inlet valve 16 connects the water inlet to the second outlet but not to the first outlet, that is, at this time, only the second water inlet waterway injects water into the clothing processing chamber 10a. In still other examples, the water inlet valve 16 connects the water inlet to both the first outlet and the second outlet at the same time, that is, at this time, both the first water inlet waterway and the second water inlet waterway inject water into the clothing processing chamber 10a.

[0100] The water inlet valve 16 can be connected to the first outlet and / or the second outlet according to the usage. For example, when water is needed for washing, the water inlet valve 16 connects the water inlet to the first outlet and the second outlet. At this time, the first water inlet waterway injects water and detergent into the clothing processing chamber 10a, and the second water inlet waterway sprays water into the inner barrel 10 through the injection port 13a to assist in soaking the clothes; when dehydration or rinsing is needed, the water inlet valve 16 connects the water inlet to the second outlet. At this time, the second water inlet waterway sprays water into the inner barrel 10 through the injection port 13a, and the circumferential side wall of the inner barrel 10 is rinsed in all directions under the rotation of the inner barrel 10 to clean the inner barrel 10; when water is needed for the last rinsing, the water inlet valve 16 connects the water inlet to the first outlet. At this time, the first water inlet waterway injects water and detergent into the clothing processing chamber 10a, and no water flows out of the injection port 13a.

[0101] The embodiment of the present application also provides a control method of a clothing processing device 1, which is applicable to the clothing processing device 1 described in any embodiment of the present application.

[0102] responding to a preset cleaning instruction of the laundry treatment device 1;

[0103] Based on a preset cleaning instruction, the second water inlet water path is controlled to discharge water toward the inner wall of the inner tub 10 through the injection port 13a, wherein the preset cleaning instruction includes at least one of a washing water inlet instruction, a rinsing instruction, and a dehydration instruction.

[0104] After the clothes are put into the clothes processing chamber through the clothes feeding port 12a, the user can initiate a preset cleaning instruction by triggering a cleaning button on the clothes processing device 1, and the clothes processing device 1 performs cleaning according to the preset cleaning instruction.

[0105] That is, according to the preset cleaning instruction, the second water inlet channel can be controlled to discharge water to the inner wall of the inner tub 10 through the injection port 13a during the process of cleaning the clothes in the clothes treating device 1 .

[0106] It can be understood that the inner wall of the inner barrel 10 refers to the internal surface of the inner barrel 10, including the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10 and the bottom wall of the inner barrel 10. When the clothing processing device 1 executes a preset cleaning instruction, the second water inlet path can discharge water to the circumferential inner wall of the inner barrel 10 and the bottom wall of the inner barrel through the injection port 13a.

[0107] In some examples, the preset cleaning instructions include a washing water inlet instruction, and based on the washing water inlet instruction, the first water inlet waterway is controlled to be open and the detergent delivery device 11 is controlled to deliver detergent into the first water inlet waterway.

[0108] Specifically, when the laundry processing device 1 is in the washing water inlet state, the detergent delivery device 11 delivers detergent to the first water inlet waterway, and the water flow on the first water inlet waterway carries the detergent into the laundry processing chamber 10a to inject the water required for washing into the inner barrel 10; at the same time, the second water inlet waterway discharges water to the inner wall of the inner barrel 10 through the injection port 13a, forming a fan-shaped water flow to evenly wet the clothes and improve the washing effect. When the water injection time reaches the preset washing water inlet time or the water volume in the inner barrel 10 reaches the target washing water level, the first water inlet waterway and the second water inlet waterway are controlled to be disconnected, so that the laundry processing device 1 can enter the washing state.

[0109] In some examples, the preset cleaning instructions include a dehydration instruction. Based on the dehydration instruction, the inner barrel 10 is controlled to rotate in a first direction, the second water inlet circuit is controlled to be turned on for a first preset time and then disconnected, and the inner barrel 10 is controlled to continue rotating in the first direction for a second preset time, wherein the first preset time does not exceed the second preset time.

[0110] That is to say, when the clothes processing device 1 executes the dehydration instruction, the first water inlet waterway is in a disconnected state, the first water inlet waterway does not inject water into the clothes processing chamber 1a, and only the second water inlet waterway is in a conducting state. The second water inlet waterway sprays water to the inner barrel 10 through the jet port 13a, and the jet port 13a flushes the inner wall of the inner barrel 10 under the rotation of the inner barrel 10 to clean the inner barrel 10. When the water spraying time of the jet port 13a reaches the first preset time, the second water inlet waterway is disconnected. At this time, the clothes processing device 1 is still in the dehydration state, and the inner barrel 10 continues to rotate for the second preset time until the dehydration ends.

[0111] The first direction may be a clockwise direction along the circumference of the inner barrel 10 , or a counterclockwise direction along the circumference of the inner barrel 10 .

[0112] The sum of the first preset time length and the second preset time length is equal to the total preset time length of the dehydration instruction.

[0113] The first preset time length does not exceed the second preset time length, and the first preset time length may be less than the second preset time length, or the first preset time length may be equal to the second preset time length, that is, the water discharge time length of the jet port 13a is less than or equal to 1 / 2 of the total operation time length of the dehydration instruction. In this way, while cleaning the inner tub 10, the waste of water resources is reduced.

[0114] It is understandable that the disconnection of the second water inlet waterway can also be controlled according to the amount of water sprayed from the spray port 13a under the dehydration instruction.

[0115] In some examples, the preset cleaning instruction includes a rinsing instruction, and based on the rinsing instruction, the second water inlet waterway is controlled to discharge water to the inner wall of the inner tub 10 through the injection port 13a.

[0116] That is, when the laundry processing device 1 executes the rinsing instruction, the first water inlet waterway is in a disconnected state, the first water inlet waterway does not inject water into the laundry processing chamber 1a, and only the second water inlet waterway is in a connected state. The second water inlet waterway sprays water into the inner tub 10 through the injection port 13a, and the water flow sprayed from the injection port 13a flushes the inner wall of the inner tub 10 to clean the inner tub 10.
