Taking the drum type shoe washing machine as an example, it includes an outer box, an outer barrel and a washing barrel. The outer barrel is installed in the outer box and is used to hold washing water. The washing barrel is rotatably arranged inside the outer barrel and connected to the outer barrel, and a brush structure is arranged inside the washing barrel. When washing shoes, the shoes are placed into the washing barrel through the inlet, and water is poured into the outer barrel. Then the computer board drives the washing barrel to rotate in the outer barrel. During this period, the brush structure in the washing barrel rubs against the surface of the shoes to remove dirt on the surface of the shoes to achieve a cleaning effect.

When the washing program is no longer running, the washing water in the outer barrel is completely drained. At this time, the sediment weight in the sediment collection device is detected to determine whether the sediment volume exceeds the standard. When the sediment weight reaches a second preset value, the user can be promptly reminded to disassemble the sediment collection device for cleaning, and then reinstall it on the outer barrel after cleaning. The control method can clean up the sediment in time during and after the washing process, avoiding excessive sediment remaining in the equipment to reduce the washing effect, and the cleaning ratio is high.

[0055] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0056] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" 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, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

[0058] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and other directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a washing device, including an outer box body 1, an outer barrel 2, a washing barrel 3 and a sediment collection device 4.

[0060] The outer tub 2 is swingably disposed in the outer box 1, and the outer tub 2 is used to hold washing water. The washing tub 3 is rotatably disposed in the outer tub 2, and is used to hold the washed items. The rotation axis of the washing tub 3 does not coincide with the swing axis of the outer tub 2, so the washed items can be turned over. The sediment collection device 4 is detachably disposed in the outer tub 2, and can be disassembled and cleaned when necessary, and the sediment collection device 4 is at the lowest point during the swinging process of the outer tub 2, so as to facilitate the collection of sediment.

[0061] Specifically, during the washing stage, the objects to be washed are placed in the washing tub 3, and water is poured into the outer tub 2 until the washing water level is reached. Then, the washing tub 3 is driven to rotate in the outer tub 2 to wash the objects to be washed. During the washing process, the outer tub 2 is driven to swing back and forth in the outer box 1 to flip the angle of the objects to be washed in the washing tub 3, so that the objects to be washed can be washed in all directions, avoiding the presence of areas where stains are not removed cleanly, and preventing serious wear on individual parts of the objects to be washed, thereby improving the cleaning ratio. The objects to be washed are cleaned of mud and sand during the washing stage. Due to the rotation of the washing tub 3, the mud and sand are concentrated to the edge of the bottom of the outer tub 2 under the action of the rotating centrifugal force. During the swinging of the outer tub 2 relative to the outer box 1, the mud and sand will gather to the lowest point under the action of gravity, and will be collected by the mud and sand collection device 4 at the lowest point. The rotation of the washing tub 3 and the swinging of the outer tub 2 can effectively clean the mud and sand in the equipment, thereby improving the user experience.

[0062] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A driving motor 10 is disposed at the bottom of the outer tub 2, and the housing of the driving motor 10 can be connected to the bottom wall of the outer tub 2. The output shaft of the driving motor 10 is connected to the bottom of the washing tub 3 through a connecting shaft or directly connected to the bottom of the washing tub 3 to drive the washing tub 3 to rotate. Furthermore, the driving motor 10 can rotate forward and reverse, thereby driving the washing tub 3 to rotate forward and reverse.

[0063] The washing device in this embodiment takes a shoe washing machine as an example, and the washed objects are shoes 100. Of course, the washing device may also be a washing machine or the like.

[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a brush structure 31 is installed on the inner wall of the washing tub 3. During the rotation of the washing tub 3, the brush structure 31 rubs against the surface of the shoes 100 to scrub the shoes 100; during the swinging of the outer tub 2, the shoes 100 in the washing tub 3 are turned over to avoid dead corners for scrubbing, so that the toe, sole, upper, heel and other parts of the shoes 100 can be effectively scrubbed.

[0065] In this embodiment, the outer tub 2 swings around a horizontal axis between a first position and a second position. When the outer tub 2 is in the first position, the rotation axis of the washing tub 3 is vertical. Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the washing tub 3 rotates around the vertical axis.

[0066] See also Figure 2, the outer box 1 is provided with a box opening 12, the box opening 12 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and an openable upper cover 13 is provided at the box opening 12. The inclined box opening 12 and the upper cover 13 make it easier to open and close the upper cover 13. Compared with the technical solution in which the box opening 12 and the upper cover 13 are arranged at the side front position and the top position, the sight of the box opening 12 is not blocked after the upper cover 13 is opened in this embodiment. Furthermore, the outer tub 2 swings from the first position toward the box opening 12 to the second position. When the outer tub 2 swings to the second position, the loading port 32 of the washing tub 3 is exactly opposite to the box opening 12. At this time, the upper cover 13 can be opened to take and put the shoes 100.

[0067] See also Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of a washing device in an unused state, with the outer tub 2 in a first position, the upper cover 13 in a closed position, and both the outer tub 2 and the washing tub 3 being stationary. Figure 2 When washing the shoes 100, the user presses the power button, and the control end controls the outer tub 2 to swing and flip to the second position. At this time, the upper cover 13 can be driven to open, and the shoes 100 can be placed in the washing tub 3. After closing the upper cover 13 and starting the washing program, the washing tub 3 rotates, and the outer tub 2 swings back to the first position. Figure 3 After a preset time, the outer barrel 2 swings from the first position to the second position. Figure 5 As shown, during this period, the washing tub 3 continuously rotates forward and reversely to promote the scrubbing of the shoes 100. During the washing process, the outer tub 2 swings repeatedly to adjust the angle of the shoes 100 to achieve all-round scrubbing.

[0068] Furthermore, during the dehydration stage, the outer tub 2 is driven to rotate to the first position, so that the inlet 32 ​​of the washing tub 3 faces upward, the outer tub 2 is horizontal, and the washing tub 3 rotates at high speed to achieve dehydration. After the dehydration is completed, the outer tub 2 can be controlled to rotate to the second position again, so that the inlet 32 ​​is opposite to the box opening 12, and the upper cover 13 can be opened to take out the shoes 100.

[0069] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, a rotating shaft is provided between the upper cover 13 and the box opening 12, and the upper cover 13 is rotatably connected to the box opening 12 through the rotating shaft, so that the upper cover 13 can be flipped upward and opened. At this time, the user can manually open and close the upper cover 13. Furthermore, the lower end of the upper cover 13 is provided with a structure that can be locked with the outer box 1.

[0070] In other embodiments, a rotating driving member is provided on the outer box body 1, a gear is connected to the rotating driving member, the upper cover 13 is arc-shaped, a rack meshing with the gear is provided on the upper cover 13, and the rotating driving member can drive the gear to rotate, and then drive the upper cover 13 to rotate and open into the outer box body 1 through the rack. Figure 6As shown. At this time, the rotary drive member can be connected to the control end for communication, and the upper cover 13 can be automatically opened and closed. After the device is powered on, the control end controls the outer barrel 2 to swing to the second position, and at the same time, controls the upper cover 13 to open automatically to put in the shoes 100. After the dehydration process is completed, the control end controls the outer barrel 2 to swing to the second position again, and at the same time, controls the upper cover 13 to open automatically to take out the clean shoes 100.

[0071] The rotary drive is preferably a small electric motor.

[0072] Optionally, the swing angle of the outer box 1 between the first position and the second position is 30° to 60°. The axis of the outer barrel 2 is vertical at the first position and inclined at the second position, and the angle range of the axis at the two positions is 30° to 60°. This angle design enables the outer barrel 2 to swing and flip sufficiently large, so that the shoes 100 can flip at an angle in the washing barrel 3. At the same time, the angle is not too large to cause the washing water to overflow from the injection port 32, and it will not generate a large washing vibration due to excessive swing amplitude.

[0073] Optionally, a sealing cover may be provided on the outer tub 2 at a position directly opposite to the inlet 32, and the sealing cover closes the inlet 32 ​​to prevent the washing water from overflowing.

[0074] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the washing device also includes at least one set of driving mechanisms 5, and the driving mechanisms 5 are used to drive the outer barrel 2 to swing. The driving mechanism 5 includes a first connecting rod 51 and a second connecting rod 52 that are hinged to each other. The first connecting rod 51 is hinged to the outer box body 1, and the second connecting rod 52 is hinged to the outer barrel 2. The first connecting rod 51 or the second connecting rod 52 is retractable. Specifically, the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 52 are hinged to each other through a rotating connection structure 53. In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 5 is connected between the side of the outer barrel 2 facing away from the box opening 12 and the inner wall of the outer box body 1. The first connecting rod 51 is a hydraulic telescopic rod with an adjustable length. When the first connecting rod 51 is extended, the outer barrel 2 can be driven to swing from the first position to the second position through the second connecting rod 52. Conversely, when the first connecting rod 51 is shortened, the outer barrel 2 is driven back to the first position through the second connecting rod 52.

[0075] The first connecting rod 51 may also be a pneumatic or electric telescopic rod, which is communicatively connected to the control end, and the control end realizes the swing of the outer barrel 2 by controlling the extension and retraction of the first connecting rod 51 .

[0076] Optionally, multiple groups of driving mechanisms 5 may be arranged along the circumference of the outer tub 2 to improve the swing stability of the outer tub 2 .

[0077] Further, see Figure 1, a support structure 11 is provided in the outer box body 1, and the outer barrel 2 is rotatably connected to the support structure 11. The support structure 11 provides support for the swing of the outer barrel 2, and during the swing of the outer barrel 2, it rotates relative to the support structure 11. Specifically, the bottom end of the support structure 11 is connected to the outer box body 1, and a bearing support seat 111 is provided at the upper end. The outer barrel 2 is rotatably connected to the bearing support seat 111 through a bearing to reduce the swing resistance. Preferably, at least one support structure 11 is provided on opposite sides of the outer barrel 2.

[0078] See also Figure 7 The washing device further comprises a heating component 6, which is arranged in the outer tub 2. In the washing stage, the control end can control the heating component 6 to start to heat the washing water, so that the washing water is controlled at an optimal temperature, the detergent reaches the optimal activity, and the washing ratio is improved.

[0079] Furthermore, the heating assembly 6 is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the outer tub 2 and is directly opposite to the washing tub 3, that is, the heating assembly 6 heats the washing water from bottom to top, with higher heating efficiency, ensuring the temperature uniformity of the washing water. The heating assembly 6 may include a heating resistance wire, which is electrically connected to the terminal of the device or a power source through a wire 61.

[0080] like Figure 7 As shown, the washing device also includes a drying device, which includes a first fan assembly 71 and a second fan assembly 72. The first fan assembly 71 is arranged at the top of the outer barrel 2, and the first fan assembly 71 is used to generate a downward first airflow; the second fan assembly 72 is arranged at the top of the outer box 1 and can be directly opposite to the inlet 32 ​​of the washing barrel 3, and the second fan assembly 72 is used to generate an upward second airflow, that is, the second fan assembly 72 draws air outward; the first airflow is located on one side of the second airflow to form a circulating airflow, and the circulating airflow is heated when passing through the heating assembly 6. When the hot airflow passes through the shoes 100, it evaporates and takes away the moisture on the surface of the shoes 100, and gradually dries the shoes 100. After the drying mode is turned on, the shoes 100 can be dried by the circulating airflow formed by the first fan assembly 71 and the second fan assembly 72.

[0081] Furthermore, during the drying process, the outer tub 2 is swung from time to time, so that the shoes 100 are turned over in the washing tub 3, thereby achieving uniform drying and avoiding local over-humidification.

[0082] Exemplarily, a first fan assembly 71 may be provided on each side of the top of the outer barrel 2 , or only one first fan assembly 71 may be provided.

[0083] Alternatively, see Figure 7The washing device further comprises a humidity detection member 8, which is used to detect the humidity value of the circulating airflow. When the humidity value is lower than the preset humidity value, it indicates that the shoes 100 have been dried to the required level, the heating assembly 6, the first fan assembly 71 and the second fan assembly 72 stop running, and the drying mode ends.

[0084] Furthermore, the humidity detection component 8 is arranged at the top of the outer box body 1, and is used to monitor the humidity of the wind output by the second fan assembly 72 in real time. When the humidity value is lower than the preset humidity value, it is considered that the shoes 100 have been dried. The humidity detection component 8 is arranged at this position, and the detection result is more accurate and reliable.

[0085] Optionally, the humidity detection member 8 includes a humidity sensor.

[0086] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the cross-sectional dimension of the washing tub 3 gradually increases from the bottom to the middle, and the cross-sectional dimension of the washing tub 3 gradually decreases from the middle to the top. That is, the washing tub 3 is a structure with a large size in the middle and small sizes at the upper and lower ends, so that the internal space of the washing tub 3 is expanded, and the shoes 100 can be easily flipped when the outer tub 2 swings. The upper end of the washing tub 3 is retracted, so that the size of the top inlet 32 ​​is small to prevent the washing water from overflowing. In this embodiment, the longitudinal section of the washing tub 3 is a regular hexagon. In other embodiments, the washing tub 3 can also be a cylindrical shape with a large size in the middle and small sizes at both ends. The shape of the washing tub 3 is not limited here.

[0087] Optionally, the washing device further comprises a pumping assembly, the inlet of which is connected to the inner cavity of the sediment collection device 4, and the pumping assembly can be started when the sediment content in the outer barrel 2 reaches a first preset value. During the washing process, if the sediment content in the outer barrel 2 reaches the first preset value, it is extremely inconvenient to stop the program for cleaning at this time, and the intelligence is low. In this embodiment, the control end can control the pumping assembly to start automatically to collect sediment by pumping water. Since the inlet of the pumping assembly is connected to the inner cavity of the sediment collection device 4, during the pumping process, the sediment at the bottom of the outer barrel 2 is collected into the sediment collection device 4 along with the water flow, and at the same time, the sediment in the sediment collection device 4 can also be pumped out without stopping the program.

[0088] The pumping assembly includes a pump. After the washing process is completed, the pump can discharge the washing water. During the drainage process, the mud and sand are smoothly carried out by the water flow. Figure 7 In the middle position, the silt collecting device 4 and the water inlet of the water pump are both located at the lower left corner. After the drainage is finished, the remaining silt is basically concentrated in the silt collecting device 4.

[0089] like Figure 8As shown, the outer barrel 2 is provided with a water inlet 9, which is located between the outer barrel 2 and the washing barrel 3, and is used to connect with the water supply end to pass the washing water into the outer barrel 2. The water inlet 9 is provided with a water inlet valve and a pressure detection component. The water inlet valve is divided into N different gears, and the water inlet valve is fully open during the water inlet stage. The pressure detection component is used to detect the water flow pressure value in the water inlet 9, and the water inlet valve can adjust the opening according to the water flow pressure value. During the dehydration stage, water is sprayed through the water inlet 9 to remove the residual foam in the shoes 100, the washing barrel 3, and the outer barrel 2, so as to enhance the dehydration effect. During this period, according to the water flow pressure value measured by the pressure detection component at the water inlet 9, the gear of the water inlet valve is adjusted to enhance the pressure of the water flow, so that the water flow with a certain pressure is sprayed to the shoes 100 and the barrel to remove the foam and washing residues.

[0090] Optionally, the water inlet valve is an electrically controlled valve, and the pressure detection component includes a pressure sensor.

[0091] Optionally, a sterilization module is installed on the outer barrel 2 and / or the washing barrel 3, and the control end can control the opening and closing of the sterilization module to sterilize the shoes 100.

[0092] Optionally, a fragrance module is installed on the outer tub 2 and / or the washing tub 3, and the control end can control the opening and closing of the fragrance module to perform fragrance care on the shoes 100 to enhance the user experience.

[0093] like Fig. 9 As shown, this embodiment also provides a control method for a washing device, which is applied to the washing device as described above. The control method for the washing device includes the following steps:

[0094] S1. Determine whether the washing program is running. If so, execute S2; if not, execute S3.

[0095] S2, detecting the sediment particles in the outer barrel 2 to obtain the current sediment content, and extracting the sediment in the outer barrel 2 when the sediment content reaches a first preset value.

[0096] Specifically, the silt can be pumped toward the silt collecting device 4 .

[0097] S3. Detect the weight of the sediment in the sediment collection device 4, and when the sediment weight reaches a second preset value, prompt the user to disassemble the sediment collection device 4 for cleaning.

[0098] During the operation of the washing program, there is washing water in the outer barrel 2. At this time, the current sediment content is obtained by detecting the sediment particles in the outer barrel 2. When the sediment content reaches the first preset value, the sediment retained at the bottom of the outer barrel 2 can be promptly pumped out to ensure the washing cleanliness. When the washing program is no longer running, the washing water in the outer barrel 2 is completely drained. At this time, the sediment weight in the sediment collection device 4 is detected to determine whether the sediment amount exceeds the standard. When the sediment weight reaches the second preset value, the user can be promptly reminded to disassemble the sediment collection device 4 for cleaning, and then reinstall it on the outer barrel 2 after cleaning. The control method can clean up the sediment in time during and after the washing process, avoid excessive sediment remaining in the equipment to reduce the washing effect, and have a high cleaning ratio.

[0099] Optionally, a particle sensor is provided at the bottom of the outer barrel 2, and the particle sensor can detect the sediment particles in the outer barrel 2, and its detection value can be used as the sediment content value in the outer barrel 2. When the detection value of the particle sensor reaches a first preset value, the control end controls the pumping component to start to collect the sediment at the bottom of the outer barrel 2 until the sediment content is lower than the set threshold, and then the pumping component is turned off. If the detection value of the particle sensor is lower than the first preset value, the pumping component is not started, and the sediment is collected according to the intensity of the washing water flow. The greater the water flow, the more and faster the sediment at the bottom of the outer tube will enter the sediment collection device 4.

[0100] Optionally, a gravity sensor is provided at the bottom of the sediment collection device 4. After the program ends, the gravity sensor is used to detect the weight of the sediment in the sediment collection device 4. If it reaches a second preset value, the user is reminded to clean it by means of a warning light, text, or voice.
