[0045] Studies have shown that a washing machine that has been used for three years may contain up to 700,000 types of bacteria. The large amount of residual dirt and bacteria and mold in the inner tub of the washing machine can cause great harm to the human body. In addition, using dirty water to wash clothes all the time will reduce the cleaning effect of the washing machine.
[0046] Stains mainly remain in the dead corners of the inner wall of the outer drum or the dead corners of the tripod. The cleaning methods that can be used include: ① 95℃ hot water, but it can only kill bacteria, not remove dirt and heavy metals, and high temperature will affect the service life of heat-intolerant parts in the machine, such as plastic pipes and rubber seals. ② High-speed water flushing, flushing speed 90~100rpm, water speed 0.3~0.4m / s<<10m / s, but there are dead corners, and the cleaning force is insufficient, and the cleaning effect is not obvious. ③ Machine detergent, but it will corrode the washing machine and cause safety hazards.
[0047] The present application provides a washing device and a control method thereof to solve the problem that the cleaning effect of the inner and outer drums 120 of the existing washing device is poor. Figure 1-6 Provide explanation.
[0048] According to the washing device of the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a device body 100, a spray device 200 and a motor 300. The device body 100 includes an inner cylinder 110 and an outer cylinder 120. The inner cylinder 110 can be rotatably arranged in the outer cylinder 120; the spray device 200 is arranged at the top of the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120, and the spray device 200 includes a booster pump 210 and at least one nozzle 220. The nozzle 220 is connected to the booster pump 210, and the nozzle 220 is at least partially located between the inner cylinder 110 and the outer cylinder 120, and the water outlet of the nozzle 220 is configured to spray water to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120 and / or the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110.
[0049] It can be understood that the washing device can be a drum washing machine, a washer-dryer or a washing-drying set, etc. Taking the drum washing machine as an example, illustratively, the device body of the drum washing machine includes an inner drum 110 and an outer drum 120, and the outer drum 120 is sleeved on the outside of the inner drum 110, and the inner drum 110 and the outer drum 120 are coaxially arranged, and the inner drum 110 is used to accommodate clothes to be washed.
[0050] The booster pump 210 is connected to the nozzle 220 to increase the water pressure, ensuring that the water can be sprayed out from the water outlet of the nozzle 220 with sufficient force to ensure the cleaning effect. The speed of the booster pump 210 can be adjusted to adjust the water pressure. The nozzle 220 is installed at the water outlet of the booster pump 210 and is located at the top of the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, the water outlet of the nozzle 220 faces the outer wall of the inner drum 110, and the high-pressure water jetted from the nozzle 220 outlet can be directly sprayed onto the outer wall of the inner drum 110 for cleaning. The motor 300 is connected to the inner drum 110, and can drive the inner drum 110 to rotate during the laundry process to achieve laundry washing. In the pollution-free cleaning mode, the motor 300 can also be used to drive the inner drum 110 to rotate at a relatively low speed to ensure that the high-pressure water jetted from the nozzle 220 can clean various positions of the outer wall of the inner drum 110.
[0052] When the washing machine enters the pollution-free cleaning mode, the booster pump 210 starts to spray water at high pressure through the nozzle 220 to the outer wall of the inner drum 110 to clean the outer wall of the inner drum 110. After the high-pressure water contacts the outer wall of the inner drum 110, it will rebound and hit the top of the inner wall of the outer drum 120, and stay along the inner wall of the outer drum 120, flushing the stains on the inner wall of the outer drum 120 to remove the stains. At the same time, the motor 300 drives the inner drum 110 to rotate, ensuring that every part of the outer wall of the inner drum 110 can be sprayed by the high-pressure water, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0053] In another optional embodiment, the water outlet of the nozzle 220 is toward the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120, and the high-pressure water flow ejected from the water outlet of the nozzle 220 can be directly sprayed onto the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120 for cleaning, and the high-pressure water flow can rebound or fall under the action of gravity and clean the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110, and cooperate with the rotation of the inner cylinder 110 to clean each part of the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0054] Exemplarily, the number of the nozzles 220 may be single or multiple, depending on the size of the washing machine and the cleaning requirements.
[0055] In an alternative embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the number of the nozzles 220 may be multiple (eg, 3-5), and the multiple nozzles 220 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 120 .
[0056] By arranging a plurality of nozzles 220 at intervals along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 120, it is ensured that the high-pressure water flow can be evenly sprayed to every part of the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110, thereby reducing cleaning dead corners and improving cleaning uniformity; and because the nozzles 220 are distributed at different positions, the rebounding water flow can impact the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120 from different positions and angles, thereby enhancing the flushing force and helping to remove more stubborn stains.
[0057] In an optional embodiment, the angle of the nozzle 220 is adjustable. For example, the nozzle 220 can be installed on a rotating shaft, and the spray angle of the nozzle 220 can be adjusted by rotating the rotating shaft to ensure that the water column can effectively rebound to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120. The spray angle of each nozzle 220 can be the same or different. For example, the spray directions of adjacent nozzles 220 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the outer cylinder 120 to ensure that the water flow on both sides is evenly distributed.
[0058] In an optional embodiment, the spray device 200 further includes a pressure valve, which is disposed at the water outlet. The pressure valve is suitable for switching from a closed state to an open state to open the water outlet when the water pressure in the spray head 220 reaches a preset threshold.
[0059] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the function of the pressure valve is to control the opening and closing of the water outlet of the nozzle 220. The pressure valve can adopt a conventional pressure relief valve design, and elastic parts such as springs or diaphragms can be arranged inside to open the water outlet when the water pressure reaches a certain level.
[0060] Specifically, the water pressure can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of the booster pump 210. Due to the pressure provided by the booster pump 210, the pressure at the nozzle 220 closer to the booster pump 210 is greater. As the water flows out from the nozzle 220, the pressure gradually decreases along the way, so the pressure at the nozzle 220 far away from the booster pump 210 is relatively small. By accurately adjusting the pressure of the booster pump 210, the number of opening water outlets of the nozzle 220 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distribution of the water flow and saving water resources; and the nozzle 220 can be automatically opened and closed by water pressure without the need for additional circuit control.
[0061] Optionally, the opening pressures of the pressure valves corresponding to different nozzles 220 may be the same or different, and different opening pressures may be set according to different nozzle 220 positions and cleaning requirements. For example, some dead corners where a lot of stains often remain may require a higher water flow intensity to clean them. By setting different opening pressures, the water flow can be distributed among different nozzles 220, thereby optimizing the cleaning effect.
[0062] In an alternative embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the plurality of nozzles 220 are connected by a first hose, and the first hose and the booster pump 210 are connected by a second hose 230. The hose has good flexibility and elasticity, which can reduce the impact of manufacturing deviations on assembly and simplify the assembly process of the system.
[0063] Exemplarily, a mounting bracket 240 is provided on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120 along the axis thereof, and the first hose is mounted on the mounting bracket 240 along the axis for fixing.
[0064] In an optional embodiment, the booster pump 210 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the first hose. When the number of nozzles 220 to be opened is adjusted by the booster pump 210, it can be ensured that the middle nozzle 220 is opened first, followed by the other nozzles 220 away from the booster pump 210. Since the middle nozzle 220 is opened first, the water flow can quickly cover the main area of the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110, thereby improving the decontamination efficiency and ensuring that the water flow of the nozzle 220 can better and evenly cover each part of the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110.
[0065] In another optional embodiment, the first hose is provided with a plurality of mounting portions along its extension direction, and the booster pump 210 is connected to the first hose through one of the mounting portions. The position of the connection point determines which nozzle 220 the water flow of the booster pump 210 reaches first, thereby controlling the number and position of the nozzles 220 opened during the pollution-free cleaning process, and can be flexibly adjusted according to actual cleaning needs to achieve refined cleaning, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.
[0066] In an alternative embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the washing device also includes a turbidity sensor 400 and a controller. The turbidity sensor 400 is arranged at the bottom of the outer drum 120 to detect the turbidity information of the washing water; the controller is electrically connected to the turbidity sensor 400 and is configured to adjust the working parameters of the boost pump 210 based on the turbidity information.
[0067] It is understandable that the turbidity sensor 400 can adopt optical principles to determine the turbidity information of water by comparing the intensity of incident light and reflected light, so as to facilitate stopping when the clothes are clean. It can also determine the turbidity of the inner drum 110 after the clothes are washed, and determine the intensity of water flow and the speed of rotation required for cleaning based on the turbidity information, so as to adjust the working parameters of the boost pump 210 and realize the adjustment of the cleaning intensity.
[0068] For example, if the turbidity is high, it means there are more stains, and the controller can increase the speed of the booster pump 210 and extend the working time to improve the cleaning effect. If the turbidity is low, it means there are fewer stains, and the controller can reduce the speed of the booster pump 210 and shorten the working time to save energy.
[0069] In an optional embodiment, the washing equipment includes a pre-wash valve, the spray device 200 includes a door seal spray pipe, the pre-wash valve is suitable for being connected to the water supply device 600, and the door seal spray pipe is connected to the pre-wash valve for cleaning the door seal of the washing equipment.
[0070] It is understandable that existing washing machines generally come with a pre-wash valve, a main wash valve, a softening valve, and a condensing valve. In order to save valve configuration, the door seal spray and pre-wash can share a pre-wash valve. While the pre-wash water is taking in water, a stream of water will be separated through the door seal spray pipe to flush the door seal glass.
[0071] A separate pipeline is designed to connect the booster pump 210. When the booster pump 210 is controlled to be closed, the valve will be closed. When the control is opened, the booster spray pump speed, that is, the water flow speed and pressure, will be intelligently adjusted according to actual cleaning needs to achieve different pollution-free cleaning intensities.
[0072] The water supply device 600 may be a water box provided by the washing machine, or may be an external water source, which may be determined according to the actual usage scenario, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.
[0073] In an alternative embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a suspension spring 700 and a pull rod 800 are connected between the inner cylinder 110 and the outer cylinder 120 to reduce vibration during the rotation of the inner cylinder 110 and prevent the inner cylinder 110 from colliding with the outer cylinder 120 due to excessive vibration amplitude of the inner cylinder 110 .
[0074] The washing device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes an equipment body 100, a spray device 200 and a motor 300. The equipment body 100 includes an inner drum 110 and an outer drum 120. The inner drum 110 is rotatably arranged in the outer drum 120. The spray device 200 is arranged at the top of the inner wall of the outer drum 120. The spray device 200 includes a booster pump 210 and at least one nozzle 220. The nozzle 220 is connected to the booster pump 210. The nozzle 220 is at least partially located between the inner drum 110 and the outer drum 120, and the water outlet of the nozzle 220 is configured to spray water toward the inner wall of the outer drum 120 and / or the outer wall of the inner drum 110. The booster pump 210 and the nozzle 220 are used to spray high-pressure water onto the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110 to clean the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110, and the water sprayed onto the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110 rebounds to the top of the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120 under the action of high pressure and flows down along the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120 to flush the stains and take away the stains; or the water outlet sprays water toward the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120, and the sprayed water can rebound to the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110 to flush the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110. At the same time, the inner cylinder 110 is driven to rotate during the spraying process, so that the outer wall of the inner cylinder 110 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 120 are cleaned in all directions, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0075] In a second aspect, the present application also provides a control method for a washing device, which is applied to the washing device of the above embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the control method includes:
[0076] S301: After the main wash phase is completed, turbidity information of the washing water at the bottom of the outer drum is obtained;
[0077] S302: Determine the turbidity interval range of the turbidity information;
[0078] S303: Based on the turbidity interval range, determine the target operating parameter corresponding to the turbidity interval range;
[0079] S304: Control the booster pump to operate according to target operating parameters.
[0080] In this embodiment, after the washing machine completes the main wash stage, the turbidity sensor starts working to detect the turbidity information of the washing water at the bottom of the outer drum. The turbidity information reflects the suspended particles and stain content of the washing water. The turbidity range can be set according to the cleanliness of the washing water, such as light stains, moderate stains, and heavy stains. Based on the turbidity range, the system determines the target operating parameters corresponding to the turbidity range. The target operating parameters may include but are not limited to the booster pump speed and the booster pump working time. For example, if the turbidity is high, it means that there are more stains, and the water flow intensity and speed can be increased to improve the cleaning effect. If the turbidity is low, it means that there are fewer stains, and the water flow intensity and speed can be reduced to save energy.
[0081] For example, reference Figure 4 As shown, when the turbidity information Tb is detected to be less than the first threshold value Tb1, it means that the stains are small, and the spray device can be directly drained and subsequently dehydrated without starting; when the turbidity information Tb is detected to be greater than the first threshold value Tb1 and less than the second threshold value Tb2, the booster pump can be controlled to run at the R1 speed for time t1 and then end; when the turbidity information Tb is detected to be greater than the second threshold value Tb2 and less than the third threshold value Tb3, the booster pump can be controlled to run at the R2 speed for time t2 and then end; when the turbidity information Tb is detected to be greater than the third threshold value Tb3, the booster pump can be controlled to run at the R3 speed for time t3 and then end. Wherein Tb3>Tb2>Tb1, R3>R2>R1, t3>t2>t1.
[0082] In an optional embodiment, in the main wash stage, the control method includes: obtaining the turbidity change rate of the washing water at the bottom of the outer drum; and adjusting the main wash time of the washing equipment based on the turbidity change rate.
[0083] Exemplarily, when the user has not turned on the dirt-free wash function, the main wash stage can be directly performed for T1+T2 time. After turning on the dirt-free wash function, the main wash is performed for T1 time first. When the turbidity change rate v<v1 is detected, it means that there are fewer stains, and the main wash is ended directly and the water is drained. When the turbidity change rate v>v1 is detected, the main wash is continued for T2 time, and then the turbidity change rate of the washing water is continued to be detected. This can be performed several times in this way.
[0084] By real-time monitoring of the turbidity change rate, the system can dynamically adjust the main wash time to accommodate clothes with different degrees of soiling, which can improve the washing effect while reducing unnecessary washing time and saving energy.
[0085] In an optional embodiment, the washing device is further provided with a drainage pump, which is used to drain the water in the outer drum; before obtaining the turbidity information of the washing water at the bottom of the outer drum, the method further includes: obtaining the water level of the outer drum; when the water level is greater than or equal to the preset water level, controlling the drainage pump to start; when the water level is less than the preset water level, controlling the drainage pump to shut down; wherein the preset water level is lower than the bottom height of the inner drum. In this way, it can be ensured that the clothes in the inner drum will not be contacted by the sewage in the outer drum, and the sewage in the outer drum is prevented from entering the inner drum, thereby avoiding cross contamination, maintaining the hygiene of the washing process, and improving the washing effect.
[0086] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the user can choose whether to turn on the dirt-free washing function on the control panel of the washing machine. If the dirt-free washing function is turned on, the washing time will be adjusted according to the turbidity rising rate information during the washing process, and the spray device will be controlled based on the turbidity information to perform dirt-free spraying on the inner and outer drums after the washing is completed and the water is drained, so as to clean the inner and outer drums.
[0087] After the main wash is completed, the actual turbidity Tb will be detected at the beginning, and the booster pump (variable frequency pump) speed R and running time t will be matched according to the value of Tb. The higher the turbidity, the higher the matching variable frequency pump speed and the longer the running time, which also means the better the pollution-free cleaning effect.
[0088] When performing turbidity-based intelligent pollution-free cleaning, it is necessary to determine in real time whether the water level WL is higher than the preset water level (sewage-free level) WL1. WL1 can be about 1 cm below the inner cylinder to ensure that the sewage after spraying the inner and outer cylinders will not be touched by the inner cylinder. When the water level is higher than WL1, the drainage pump will be turned on to lower the water level to achieve the best pollution-free effect.
