[0047] The embodiment of the present application provides a base assembly 100 for use in a clothing processing device.

[0048] The present application embodiment provides a clothes processing device. Figure 1 , includes a clothing processing machine 4000 and a base assembly 100 of any embodiment of the present application, and the base assembly 100 is located below the clothing processing machine 4000.

[0049] The base assembly 100 includes a base 1 and a support frame 200 for supporting the laundry processing machine 4000. The laundry processing machine 4000 is supported on the support frame 200.

[0050] In some embodiments, the laundry machine 4000 is fixed to the support frame 200 in a non-detachable manner.

[0051] In some other embodiments, the laundry machine 4000 is detachably mounted on the support frame 200. The base assembly 100 and the laundry machine 4000 can be used separately or in combination.

[0052] The support frame 200 needs to bear the entire weight of the laundry processing machine 4000 and needs to have sufficient strength.

[0053] In this embodiment, during transportation, the clothing treatment machine 4000 and the base assembly 100 can be packaged and transported separately, thus reducing the packaging size; the base assembly 100 can be used as an optional component and can be assembled or not assembled on the clothing treatment machine 4000 according to the user's choice. The base assembly 100 itself does not affect the independent use of the clothing treatment machine 4000, thereby improving the user's flexibility in selection.

[0054] The support frame 200 has a mounting cavity 200 a , and the base 1 is disposed in the mounting cavity 200 a .

[0055] The base 1 has a receiving chamber 11 for receiving the cleaning robot 3000 (see Figure 3 and Figure 6 ).

[0056] The cleaning robot 3000 can be used to automatically clean dust and hair on the ground. If a mop is provided on the cleaning robot 3000, the cleaning robot 3000 can mop the ground after cleaning the ground. The functions of the base assembly 100 in the embodiment of the present application include but are not limited to charging, dust removal, cleaning, drying and disinfecting the cleaning robot 3000.

[0057] Exemplarily, the cleaning robot 3000 includes a first communication module, and the base assembly 100 includes a second communication module, and the cleaning robot 3000 and the base assembly 100 can communicate through the first communication module and the second communication module. For example, when the cleaning robot 3000 needs to discharge dust or charge, it can communicate wirelessly through the first communication module and the second communication module, so as to return to the accommodating cavity 11 by itself. Exemplarily, the first communication module and the second communication module can include but are not limited to one or more wireless data communication modules such as a Bluetooth module, a wireless fidelity (Wireless Fidelity, WIFI) module, a fourth or fifth generation (4th Generation / 5th Generation, 4G / 5G) communication module or an infrared module.

[0058] The clothes processing machine 4000 may include various forms, such as a washing machine, a dehydrating machine, and a washing and drying machine, etc. The specific application scenario of the clothes processing machine 4000 does not limit the structure of the base assembly 100 of the present invention.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the base assembly 100 is integrated under the clothing treatment machine 4000. On the one hand, the space under the clothing treatment machine 4000 can be used to store the cleaning robot 3000, thereby reducing the indoor space occupied by the cleaning robot 3000; on the other hand, the clothing treatment machine 4000 is placed near the faucet and floor drain to facilitate water intake and drainage. In this way, the base assembly can be easily filled with water and drained through the existing water intake and drainage convenience of the laundry treatment machine, thereby solving the water intake and drainage waterway problem of the base assembly.

[0060] For example, see Fig.11 and Fig.12 The bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 11 is provided with a cleaning tank 16 for storing cleaning liquid, which may be tap water or a mixture of tap water and detergent. After the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the base station, the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 16 may be used to clean the mop of the cleaning robot 3000.

[0061] There is no limit to the way to achieve the mop cleaning function. The cleaning robot 3000 can control the mop to rotate or vibrate to contact the water in the cleaning tank 16 to achieve the cleaning function. The cleaning function can also be achieved by arranging a friction member such as a brush head in the cleaning tank and controlling the brush head to contact and rub with the mop on the cleaning robot 3000.

[0062] Exemplarily, the base assembly 100 includes a detergent delivery device 6 disposed on the base 1 , and the detergent delivery device 6 is used to deliver detergent directly or indirectly into the cleaning tank 16 to improve the cleaning effect of the mop.

[0063] The specific type of detergent is not limited, and it can be laundry detergent, disinfectant, perfume, etc., and is not limited here.

[0064] The base assembly of the embodiment of the present application automatically dispenses detergent into the cleaning tank through the detergent dispensing device 6, which can improve the cleaning effect of the mop.

[0065] The installation position of the detergent dispensing device 6 is not limited.

[0066] Exemplarily, the detergent dispensing device 6 is disposed on the top of the base 1. The top of the base 1 has a large installation space, and it is also convenient for the user to perform operations such as dispensing and replacing detergent from the front side below the laundry processing machine.

[0067] The base assembly 100 includes a water inlet assembly 5 , which includes a water inlet passage 53 for supplying water to the cleaning tank 16 and a water inlet valve 51 arranged on the water inlet passage 53 . The water inlet passage 53 is used to introduce an external water source and guide the water flow into the cleaning tank 16 .

[0068] In this embodiment, the water inlet passage 53 automatically introduces an external water source, and the user does not need to add water manually.

[0069] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the water inlet passage 53 can be completely independent from the water inlet system of the laundry machine, that is, the two are independently connected to different faucets. In other embodiments, the water inlet passage 53 and the water inlet system of the laundry machine are connected to the same faucet through components such as a tee pipe.

[0070] The type of the water inlet valve 51 is not limited. For example, the water inlet valve 51 can be a flow limiting valve with a flow limiting function. That is, when the flow rate of water flowing through the water inlet valve 51 is greater than a set value, the water inlet valve 51 is closed. In this way, the water flow rate is prevented from being too large.

[0071] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The water inlet assembly 5 includes a pressure relief container 52, which is arranged on the water inlet passage 53, and the water inlet valve 51 is located downstream of the pressure relief container 52, that is, the water flow of the water inlet passage 53 first flows through the water inlet valve 51, then flows through the pressure relief container 52, and finally enters the cleaning tank 16. The pressure relief container 52 can relieve pressure and slow down the flow, so that the water flows at a suitable flow rate, and avoids excessive water pressure in the water inlet passage 53 causing water splashing.

[0072] Exemplarily, the water inlet valve 51 and the pressure relief container 52 are both arranged on the left rear side of the base 1, so that the water inlet valve 51 and the water inlet position of the clothing processing machine 4000 are located on the same side of the clothing processing equipment along the left and right direction, which is convenient for centralized arrangement of water pipes and reducing the length of water pipes.

[0073] The number of the water inlets 14 on the side wall of the accommodating chamber 11 is not limited, and may be one or more.

[0074] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, a plurality refers to no less than two.

[0075] For example, see Figure 6 The left and right walls of the accommodating chamber 11 are each provided with a water inlet 14, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The water inlet passage 53 includes a first pipeline 531 and a second pipeline 532 connected to the pressure relief container 52. The first pipeline 531 is arranged from the right rear of the base 1 to the water inlet 14 on the right side of the base 1, and the second pipeline 532 is arranged from the left rear of the base 1 to the water inlet 14 on the left side of the base 1. In this embodiment, multiple water inlets 14 are simultaneously filled with water, which is convenient for increasing the water inlet speed of the cleaning tank 16 and also convenient for supplying water to the cleaning tank 16 from multiple angles. For example, in some embodiments, the water discharged from the water inlet 14 can first flush the mop and then flow back into the cleaning tank 16, so that the mop can be flushed at multiple angles.

[0076] For example, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The detergent dispensing device 6 includes a detergent box 61 for storing detergent and a dispensing pump 62 for extracting detergent from the detergent box 61. The dispensing pump 62 can automatically and quantitatively extract detergent from the detergent box 61 to achieve automatic dispensing.

[0077] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the detergent box 61 can be a disposable device. After the detergent in the detergent box 61 is used up, the detergent box 61 is taken out and replaced with a new detergent box 61. In other embodiments, the user can fill the detergent box 61 with detergent, and the detergent box 61 can be reused.

[0078] In some embodiments, the detergent pumped out from the dosing pump 62 directly enters the cleaning tank 16 and is dissolved in the cleaning tank 16 .

[0079] In other embodiments, the liquid outlet of the detergent dispensing device 6 is connected to the pressure relief container 52, that is, the outlet of the dispensing pump 62 is connected to the pressure relief container 52, so as to quantitatively pump detergent into the pressure relief container 52. The detergent is dissolved in the pressure relief container 52 and flows to the cleaning tank 16 along with the water in the water inlet passage 53. In this embodiment, the pressure relief container 52 not only plays the role of relieving the pressure and buffering the water flow, but also plays the role of mixing and dissolving the detergent. In addition, it is also convenient to arrange the detergent dispensing path of the detergent dispensing device 6. Specifically, due to the presence of the pressure relief container 52, the outlet of the dispensing pump 62 can be conveniently connected to the pressure relief container 52. The pressure relief container 52 has a relatively large size, which is convenient for the connection of the dispensing pump 62, and can also reduce the flow path of the detergent and reduce the flow resistance of the detergent.

[0080] Exemplarily, the detergent box 61 extends in the front-to-back direction, that is, the size of the detergent box 61 in the front-to-back direction is larger than the size in the left-to-right direction, and the whole is in the shape of a bottle, and the dosing pump 62 is arranged at the rear side of the detergent box 61. The liquid outlet of the dosing pump 62 faces the pressure relief container 52 at the rear, so that the liquid outlet of the dosing pump 62 and the pressure relief container 52 can be connected only by a very short straight pipe, which has a compact structure and is easy to install.

[0081] For example, the water inlet valve 51 and the pressure relief container 52 are arranged at the top of the left rear side of the base 1, and the water inlet interface 51a of the water inlet valve 51 is located at the rear side of the water inlet valve 51, so as to facilitate the connection of the water pipe from the rear of the water inlet valve 51. The water inlet valve 51, the pressure relief container 52, and the detergent dispensing device 6 are arranged in sequence from the back to the front. For example, they are all arranged on the left side of the above-mentioned fan 41, so that the installation space can be saved.

[0082] For example, see Figure 6 A dust collecting port 12 is provided on the side wall of the accommodating chamber 11, and the dust collecting port 12 is used to dock with the dust exhaust port of the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000. Specifically, when the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the accommodating chamber 11, the dust collecting port 12 docks with the dust exhaust port of the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000, so that the dust collecting port 12 is connected to the dust storage space.

[0083] The base assembly 100 includes a dust collecting assembly 2 (see Figure 6 ), see Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The dust collecting assembly 2 includes a dust collecting pipe 21, a dust collecting motor 23 and a dust collecting container 22. The dust collecting container 22 is arranged outside the accommodating chamber 11 and is located on any lateral side of the accommodating chamber 11. The dust collecting pipe 21 connects the dust collecting port 12 and the internal space of the dust collecting container 22. The dust collecting motor 23 is used to generate negative pressure in the dust collecting chamber.

[0084] When the dust collecting motor 23 is running, negative pressure is generated in the internal space of the dust collecting container 22, so that the dust collecting pipe 21 and the dust collecting port 12 are both in a negative pressure environment. Impurities in the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000 are sucked into the dust collecting container 22 under the action of negative pressure, thereby realizing automatic dust discharge of the cleaning robot 3000, and the user does not need to manually discharge dust from the cleaning robot 3000.

[0085] It should be noted that the lateral side refers to any side in a plane perpendicular to the up and down direction, for example, the left side, the right side, the front side, the rear side, etc.

[0086] The base assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application arranges the dust collecting container 22 and the accommodating chamber 11 side by side in the horizontal direction, that is, the dust collecting container 22 will not be located above the base 1. Therefore, it helps to reduce the size of the base assembly 100 in the up and down directions, so that the base assembly 100 has a flat design, so that it is convenient to integrate the base assembly 100 under the clothing processing machine 4000.

[0087] In the related art, the dust collecting container 22 is located obliquely above the accommodating chamber 11. During the dust removal process, impurities in larger parts cannot be sucked upward into the dust collecting container 22 due to the greater gravity. The dust removal is not thorough, and impurities remain in the dust collecting pipe 21, which can easily cause the dust collecting pipe 21 to be blocked.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, since the dust collecting container 22 and the accommodating chamber 11 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, the dust collecting pipe 21 is also arranged roughly horizontally. During the dust discharge process, the impurities move roughly horizontally in the dust collecting pipe 21, and the negative pressure does not need to overcome the gravity of the impurities. Therefore, the impurities can smoothly enter the dust collecting container 22, and the dust discharge is more thorough.

[0089] Exemplarily, the height of the dust collection container 22 does not exceed the height of the top of the base 1. In other words, the dust collection container 22 does not increase the height of the base assembly 100 additionally.

[0090] The specific shape of the dust collecting container 22 is not limited.

[0091] For example, see Figure 6 The dust collecting container 22 includes a dust collecting shell 221 and a filter component 222 that is retractably disposed in the dust collecting shell 221. The filter component 222 is used to filter and contain impurities in the airflow entering the dust collecting shell 221, intercept the impurities in the filter component 222, and the airflow entering the dust collecting container 22 is filtered by the filter component 222 and then discharged from the air outlet of the dust collecting motor 23.

[0092] The specific type of the filter component 222 is not limited, for example, it can be a dust bag or a dust box.

[0093] Exemplarily, a pull-out opening 22a for pulling out the filter component 222 is provided on the front side of the dust collecting housing 221, and the filter component 222 is pulled out of the dust collecting housing 221 or placed in the dust collecting housing 221 through the pull-out opening 22a.

[0094] After using for a period of time, the user can remove the filter component 222 for cleaning, and then put the filter component 222 into the dust collection chamber. In this embodiment, the filter component 222 can be reused. Alternatively, the filter component 222 is a disposable item, which is discarded after being removed, and a new filter component 222 is put into the dust collection chamber.

[0095] For example, see Figure 6 The dust collecting container 22 and the accommodating chamber 11 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and the dust collecting container 22 is located on the right side of the accommodating chamber 11. In this way, it is convenient to free up a large space for the left and rear sides of the base 1, and it is convenient to arrange the parts related to water inlet and drainage.

[0096] For example, see Fig.10 The dust collecting container 22 and the base 1 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction, that is, there is an interval between the dust collecting container 22 and the base 1 along the left-right direction, and the dust collecting pipe 21 is arranged at the interval between the dust collecting container 22 and the base 1 along the left-right direction. In this way, the dust collecting pipe 21 is shorter in length, which can shorten the moving path of impurities in the dust collecting pipe 21, reduce wind resistance, improve dust removal efficiency, and also help to reduce the assembly size of the entire dust collecting assembly 2.

[0097] For example, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The dust collecting motor 23 and the dust collecting container 22 are arranged in the front-to-back direction, and the dust collecting motor 23 is arranged behind the dust collecting container 22. Specifically, the air inlet of the dust collecting housing 221 for connecting with the dust collecting pipe 21 is located on the left side wall of the dust collecting housing 221, and the air outlet of the dust collecting housing 221 for communicating with the dust collecting motor 23 is located on the rear side wall of the dust collecting housing 221. In this way, the space behind the dust collecting container 22 can be fully utilized to avoid excessively increasing the size of the base assembly 100 in the left-right direction; in addition, it will not affect the placement and removal of the filter component 222.

[0098] For example, see Figure 6 and Fig.10 The side wall of the accommodating chamber 11 is provided with a return air port 13 for docking with the cleaning robot 3000. Specifically, the side wall of the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000 also has a return air interface, that is, the return air interface and the dust exhaust port are both connected to the dust storage space; the return air port 13 is used to dock with the return air interface.

[0099] See also Figure 5 and Fig.10 The dust collecting assembly 2 includes a return air duct 25, which is connected to the return air port 13 and the air outlet of the dust collecting motor 23. When the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the accommodating chamber 11, the return air port 13 is docked with the return air interface, the dust collecting port 12 is docked with the dust exhaust port, and the dust collecting duct 21, the dust collecting chamber, the return air duct 25, and the dust storage space form a circulating air path, and the gas can circulate between the dust storage space and the dust collecting assembly 2. In this way, the air intake of the dust collecting motor 23 can be increased, and the dust exhaust effect can be improved.

[0100] The specific position of the return air outlet 13 is not limited, for example, it can be the rear side wall, the left side wall, etc.

[0101] For example, see Figure 6 and Fig.10 The dust collection container 22 is arranged on the right side of the base 1, the return air port 13 is arranged at the left rear corner of the side wall of the accommodating chamber 11, and the return air duct 25 is arranged from the rear of the base 1 to the return air port 13. In this embodiment, the return air duct 25 is arranged in a relatively smooth manner without having to pass through a large bend, thereby reducing the resistance of the air flow in the return air duct 25. In addition, the space behind the base 1 can be fully utilized.

[0102] For example, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig.10 The base assembly 100 includes a charging terminal 17 disposed on the rear side wall of the accommodating chamber 11. After the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the accommodating chamber 11, it can be electrically connected to the charging terminal 17 to achieve charging.

[0103] For example, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The base assembly 100 includes a power module 31, which is electrically connected to the charging terminal 17. The power module 31 is used to convert the input alternating current into direct current. The charging terminal 17 uses direct current to charge the cleaning robot 3000.

[0104] It is understandable that the dust collecting motor 23 can be directly connected to AC power.

[0105] For example, see Figure 5 , Fig. 9 The base assembly 100 includes a drying assembly 4. Figure 6 The rear side wall of the accommodating chamber 11 is provided with an air inlet 15, and the hot air generated by the drying component 4 is introduced into the accommodating chamber 11 through the air inlet 15, and the user dries the mop of the cleaning robot 3000.

[0106] It should be noted that the inlet air is as close as possible to the lower part of the rear side wall of the accommodating chamber 11 to facilitate directing the hot air flow to the mop at the bottom of the cleaning robot 3000.

[0107] For example, see Figure 5 , Fig. 9 The drying component 4 includes a fan 41 and a drying tunnel 42. It should be noted that a heating element is provided inside the drying tunnel 42 or inside the fan 41. The heating element is used to heat the air so that the airflow discharged from the drying tunnel 42 is a hot airflow.

[0108] The fan 41 is placed flat on the top surface of the base 1, and the air outlet of the fan 41 is located at the rear end of the fan 41 and faces the rear of the base 1. The drying tunnel 42 communicates with the air inlet 15 and the air outlet at the rear end of the fan 41.

[0109] Among them, the fan 41 is placed flat on the top surface of the base 1, which means that the rotation axis direction of the impeller of the fan 41 is roughly along the up and down direction, and the fan 41 is roughly flat in the axial direction. The flat structure is placed flat on the top surface of the base 1. In this way, the size of the fan 41 in the up and down direction can be reduced, which is convenient for the flat design of the base assembly 100.

[0110] The drying tunnel 42 extends downward from the air outlet of the fan 41 . The drying tunnel 42 is generally in a flat tubular structure and is attached to the rear surface of the base 1 to minimize the size of the drying tunnel 42 along the front-to-back direction.

[0111] The number of the drying tunnels 42 is not limited, and may be one or more.

[0112] For example, see Fig. 9 , there are two drying channels 42 and two air inlets 15. The two air inlets 15 are staggered in the left and right directions. The upper ends of the two drying channels 42 are connected to the air outlet of the fan 41, and the other ends are connected to a corresponding air inlet 15. In this way, air can be discharged to the mop of the cleaning robot 3000 in multiple directions to improve the drying efficiency. In addition, by sharing the air volume of the fan 41 with the two drying channels 42, the flow rate of each drying channel 42 can be reduced, which is convenient for the small size design of each drying channel 42.

[0113] It is understandable that, in the embodiment with the return air duct 25 , the return air duct 25 is arranged behind the drying tunnel 42 , that is, the drying tunnel 42 is located between the return air duct 25 and the rear side surface of the base 1 .

[0114] For example, see Fig. 9The charging terminal 17 is roughly located in the middle area of ​​the rear side wall of the accommodating cavity 11 along the left-right direction, and the two drying tunnels 42 are located on the left and right sides of the charging terminal 17. In other words, each charging terminal 17 is located between the two drying tunnels 42, so that the space between the two drying tunnels 42 can be fully utilized, and the interference between the two drying tunnels 42 and the charging terminal 17 can be avoided.

[0115] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The base assembly 100 includes a control mainboard 32, which is used to electrically control the electrical components of the base assembly 100, for example, to electrically control the dust collecting motor 23, the fan 41, the power module 31, the charging terminal 17, etc. In other words, the base assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application can be independently controlled and is not affected by the clothes processing machine 4000. It only needs to connect the control mainboard 32 to the power supply. In this way, even if the clothes processing machine 4000 is not powered on and does not work, the base assembly 100 can also work independently.

[0116] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The control mainboard 32 is arranged on the top of the base 1 and arranged side by side with the fan 41 along the left-right direction. In this way, the space on the top of the base 1 can be fully utilized.

[0117] Exemplarily, the control main board 32 is located on the right side of the fan 41, so that the control main board 32 is closer to the dust collecting motor 23 and the power module 31, thereby shortening the length of the wires therebetween.

[0118] There is no limitation on the method of discharging the water in the cleaning tank 16. For example, the water in the cleaning tank 16 can be discharged under the action of its own gravity.

[0119] For example, see Fig.11 and Fig.12 The base assembly 100 includes a drainage component 7, which includes a pump body and a drainage channel 72 connected to the cleaning tank 16. The highest part of the drainage channel 72 is higher than the cleaning tank 16. The water inlet end of the drainage channel 72 extends into the cleaning tank 16 from top to bottom. In other words, the water inlet end of the drainage channel 72 absorbs water from bottom to top. The drainage channel 72 sucks the water in the cleaning tank 16 under the action of the pump body. The water in the cleaning tank 16 is sucked into the drainage channel 72 under the action of the pressure difference and discharged through the drainage channel 72.

[0120] It should be noted that since the cleaning tank itself is located lower and closer to the ground, and the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank is relatively small, if a drainage pump is used directly to suck the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank, since the water inlet of the drainage pump itself has a large pipe diameter and the water inlet of the drainage pump needs to be completely covered by water for the drainage pump to work, the water in the cleaning tank is difficult to be pumped out smoothly and the drainage effect is poor.

[0121] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, therefore, the water in the cleaning tank 16 is pumped out by suction from bottom to top, and the water is drained by the siphon effect, which can improve the drainage effect and facilitate the discharge of water to the floor drain and other parts.

[0122] For some examples, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.11 The drainage assembly 7 includes a water storage container 73 disposed on the drainage channel 72, and the pump body is a drainage pump 71, and the drainage pump 71 is located downstream of the water storage container 73. The height of the water storage container 73 is higher than the cleaning tank 16. The water inlet assembly 5 includes a branch passage 55 and a water inlet passage 53 for supplying water to the cleaning tank 16, and the branch passage 55 connects the water inlet passage 53 and the water storage container 73.

[0123] That is, the water inlet assembly 5 can supply water to both the cleaning tank 16 and the water storage container 73. The water storage container 73 draws water from the cleaning tank 16 under the action of the pump body and discharges the water from the pump body.

[0124] In this embodiment, the purpose of injecting water into the water storage container 73 through the water inlet component 5 includes: ensuring that there is enough water in the water storage container 73 before the drainage pump 71 is started, and when the drainage pump 71 is started, a pressure difference can be generated between the water storage container 73 and the cleaning tank 16, so that the water in the cleaning tank 16 can be extracted based on the siphon effect.

[0125] It can be understood that in the embodiment with the pressure relief container 52, the water storage container 73 is connected between the outlet of the water inlet valve 51 and the water inlet of the pressure relief container 52 through the branch passage 55 to prevent the water in the pressure relief container 52 from entering the water storage container 73.

[0126] It should be noted that the timing of the water inlet assembly 5 to feed water into the water storage container 73 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, after the water inlet valve 51 is opened, the water inlet assembly 5 simultaneously supplies water to the water inlet passage 53 and the branch passage 55. At this time, the drainage pump 71 does not work. When the water level in the water storage container 73 reaches a certain height, the branch passage 55 no longer feeds water under the back pressure of the water storage container 73. For another example, in some other embodiments, a three-way valve is provided at the connection position of the branch passage 55 and the water inlet passage 53, and the flow direction of the water flow is controlled by switching the three-way valve.

[0127] Exemplarily, the drainage assembly 7 is arranged on the right rear side of the base 1, the drainage pump 71 is located on the right side of the water storage container 73, and the water outlet of the drainage pump 71 faces the rear of the base 1. In this way, the drainage pump 71 and the drainage outlet of the clothing processing machine 4000 are located on the same side of the clothing processing equipment, which is convenient for centralized piping and drainage.

[0128] In some other embodiments, please refer to Fig.12 The pump body is an air pump 74, the drainage assembly 7 includes a switch valve 75 disposed on the drainage channel 72, and the base assembly 100 is not provided with the water storage container 73 in the previous embodiment. The highest part of the drainage channel 72 is higher than the cleaning tank 16, and the drainage channel 72 forms a siphon channel. The connection between the air suction port of the air pump 74 and the drainage channel 72 is located between the switch valve 75 and the highest part of the drainage channel 72. In this embodiment, water will not enter the air pump 74.

[0129] When drainage begins, the switch valve 75 is closed, and the air pump 74 sucks the gas in the drainage channel 72, so that a negative pressure environment is generated in the part of the drainage channel 72 located upstream of the switch valve 75, so that the water in the cleaning tank 16 is sucked into the drainage channel 72 under the action of negative pressure. After the water flows through the highest part of the drainage channel 72, the switch valve 75 is opened and the air pump 74 stops sucking. At this time, the water in the drainage channel 72 will be discharged continuously based on the principle of the siphon channel.

[0130] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the drainage channel 72 and the drainage pipeline of the laundry processing machine 4000 can drain water independently without affecting each other.

[0131] In other embodiments, the drainage channel 72 can be connected to the drainage pipeline of the clothing processing machine 4000 through a three-way pipe, and the water is concentrated to a discharge location such as a floor drain through the drainage pipeline.

[0132] In some embodiments, the laundry processing machine 4000 includes a detergent delivery mechanism for delivering detergent to the laundry to be processed in the laundry processing machine to improve the washing effect of the laundry.

[0133] It is understandable that in the embodiment with a detergent dispensing mechanism, the detergent dispensing device 6 and the detergent dispensing mechanism are located on the same side of the clothes processing device in the left-right direction. For example, both are located on the left side and are arranged close to the faucet, so that the detergent dispensing device 6 and the detergent dispensing mechanism are arranged on the same side to improve the compactness of the clothes processing device.

[0134] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without causing any contradiction.

[0135] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
