Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of washing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a fabric treatment device. Background Art

[0002] Existing technology includes installing a micro foam generator at the water outlet of the detergent dispenser's inlet tank. However, the mixed detergent-containing wash water flows into the washing drum relatively quickly, leaving less water for foaming, resulting in low foam volume. Furthermore, some detergent is washed into the drum, leading to a low detergent concentration in the foaming detergent water and low foam density. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a fabric treatment device that, by providing a mixing chamber with a foamer between the detergent dispenser and the fabric treatment cylinder, allows the detergent and wash water to be fully mixed and foamed within the mixing chamber, thereby improving the foaming effect entering the fabric treatment cylinder. Specifically:

[0004] The first aspect of this application provides a fabric treatment apparatus, comprising:

[0005] Fabric treatment tube;

[0006] The detergent box and the mixing box include a mixing chamber with a built-in foamer. The mixing chamber is connected between the detergent box and the fabric treatment cylinder via a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe includes an inlet pipe connecting the mixing chamber and the detergent box, and a defoaming pipe connecting the mixing chamber and the fabric treatment cylinder.

[0007] The detergent box has a flow channel inside that connects the detergent storage chamber and the main water pipe. The detergent storage chamber and the flow channel are connected by a dispensing pump, which pumps a fixed amount of detergent into the flow channel. The main water pipe is used to inject a fixed amount of washing water into the flow channel. The liquid inlet pipe is connected to the flow channel in the detergent box.

[0008] The washing water injected into the flow channel can push the detergent pumped into the flow channel toward the liquid inlet pipe and flow through the liquid inlet pipe to the mixing chamber for mixing, so that the washing liquid and washing water are mixed into a mixture in the mixing chamber. The foamer in the mixing chamber is used to foam the mixture, and the foam discharge pipe is used to discharge the foam generated in the mixing chamber into the fabric treatment cylinder.

[0009] In the above technical solution, an inlet valve is provided on the inlet pipe, and the opening and closing of the inlet valve can control the flow of detergent box and mixing chamber.

[0010] In the above technical solution, multiple foamers are provided, all of which are located at the bottom of the mixing chamber, and the connection points between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe and the mixing chamber are located at the top of the mixing chamber.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the outlet of the bubble removal pipe is connected to the top of the door seal of the fabric treatment cylinder, and a flow guiding structure is provided at the outlet of the bubble removal pipe.

[0012] The foam discharged from the outlet of the foam drain pipe can be guided into the fabric treatment cylinder through the flow guiding structure.

[0014] The flow guide nozzle is designed so that the foam, after being guided by the flow guide nozzle, can be sprayed into the fabric treatment cylinder in a waterfall shape.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the flow guide nozzle includes an installation section, a pressure transformation section, and a diffusion section connected in sequence;

[0016] The installation section is set on the mounting hole of the door seal, the pressure transformation section is a first reducing pipe section whose diameter gradually decreases along the foam flow direction and bends towards the inside of the fabric treatment cylinder, and the diffusion section is a second reducing pipe section whose diameter gradually increases along the foam flow direction and faces towards the inside of the fabric treatment cylinder.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the detergent box includes a box body and a box lid, the box body has a detergent storage cavity, and the box lid has a flow channel inside.

[0018] The lid is a flat lid structure with an upper lid and a lower lid.

[0019] In the above technical solution, the fabric treatment equipment has a foam washing program that introduces foam during washing and a normal washing program that does not introduce foam during washing.

[0021] In the foam washing program, detergent and washing water are injected into the mixing chamber of the fabric treatment equipment and foamed by the foamer. The foam generated in the mixing chamber can enter the fabric treatment cylinder through the foam discharge pipe.

[0022] In the normal washing process, the fabric treatment equipment injects washing water separately into the mixing chamber, and the washing water can also enter the fabric treatment drum through the bubble drain pipe.

An overflow valve is provided on the overflow pipe, and the opening and closing of the overflow valve can control the on / off state of the overflow pipe and the fabric processing cylinder.

[0024] In the normal washing cycle, the washing water introduced into the mixing chamber can enter the fabric treatment drum through the bubble drain pipe and the overflow pipe.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the fabric treatment equipment also includes an ozone generator set outside the mixing chamber. The ozone generator includes a connected air pump and an ozone generator, as well as an air inlet pipe connected between the ozone generator and the foamer. Ozone gas can be injected into the mixing chamber through the air inlet pipe when the foamer foams the mixture in the mixing chamber.

[0026] The air intake pipe is also equipped with a check valve, which is designed to allow fluid to flow from the ozone generator to the mixing chamber and restrict fluid from flowing from the mixing chamber to the ozone generator.

[0056] Background Introduction

[0057] Existing technology includes installing a micro foam generator at the water outlet of the detergent dispenser's inlet tank. However, the mixed detergent-containing wash water flows into the washing drum relatively quickly, leaving less water for foaming, resulting in low foam volume. Furthermore, some detergent is washed into the drum, leading to a low detergent concentration in the foaming detergent water and low foam density.

[0058] Based on this, Figures 1-9 As shown, this application provides a fabric processing apparatus, including:

[0059] Fabric treatment tube 100;

[0060] The detergent box 200 and the mixing box 300 are provided. The mixing box 300 includes a mixing chamber 301 with a built-in foamer 302. The mixing chamber 301 is connected between the detergent box 200 and the fabric treatment cylinder 100 through a connecting pipe 400. The connecting pipe 400 includes an inlet pipe 401 connected between the mixing chamber 301 and the detergent box 200, and a defoaming pipe 402 connected between the mixing chamber 301 and the fabric treatment cylinder 100.

[0061] The detergent box 200 has a flow channel inside that connects the detergent storage chamber and the main water pipe 600. The detergent storage chamber and the flow channel are connected by a dispensing pump 700, which pumps a certain amount of detergent into the flow channel. The main water pipe 600 is used to inject a certain amount of washing water into the flow channel. The liquid inlet pipe 401 is connected to the flow channel in the detergent box 200.

[0062] The washing water injected into the flow channel can push the detergent pumped into the flow channel toward the liquid inlet pipe 401 and flow through the liquid inlet pipe 401 to the mixing chamber 301 for mixing, so that the washing liquid and washing water are mixed into a mixture in the mixing chamber 301. The foamer 302 in the mixing chamber 301 is used to foam the mixture, and the foam discharge pipe 402 is used to discharge the foam generated in the mixing chamber 301 into the fabric treatment cylinder 100.

[0063] In this embodiment, a mixing chamber 301 with a foamer 302 is provided between the detergent box 200 and the fabric treatment cylinder 100. This allows the detergent and washing water to be fully mixed in the mixing chamber 301 before foaming, thereby improving the foaming effect entering the fabric treatment cylinder 100.

[0064] It should be noted that, in some alternative embodiments, a water storage chamber may be provided between the detergent box 200 and the mixing chamber 301 for the detergent and washing water to be initially mixed before entering the mixing chamber 301.

[0065] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, by setting a flow channel in the detergent box and pumping a fixed amount of detergent from the detergent storage chamber into the flow channel using the dispensing pump 700, a fixed amount of detergent can be dispensed. At the same time, a fixed amount of washing water is injected into the flow channel in the detergent box 200 through the main water pipe 600. On the one hand, this can achieve a precise ratio of detergent and washing water. On the other hand, by injecting washing water into the flow channel, the detergent pumped into the flow channel can also be flushed into the mixing chamber 301 through the liquid inlet pipe 401 for thorough mixing, avoiding sticky detergent adhering to the flow channel in the detergent box 200. This ensures that the detergent and washing water are fully mixed in the mixing chamber 301 with a precise ratio, improving the foaming effect after mixing.

[0066] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the inlet pipe 401 is provided with an inlet valve, and the opening and closing of the inlet valve can control the on / off state of the detergent box 200 and the mixing chamber 301.

[0067] In this embodiment, an inlet valve is provided on the re-inlet pipe 401, which allows the washing liquid and washing water to be fully mixed in the mixing chamber 301.

[0068] Specifically, when the foam washing program is needed, the dispensing pump 700 first adds detergent to the mixing chamber 301. Then, the main water inlet valve of the main water pipeline 600 is controlled by the opening time or the liquid level detection device to control the intake of a small amount of water to mix into high-concentration washing water. After the water intake is complete, the inlet valve on the inlet pipe 401 is closed. Then, air or ozone gas is introduced into the foamer 302 in the mixing chamber 301 through the external air pump 901 and / or ozone generator 902. Foaming occurs in the mixing chamber 301, and the foam enters the fabric treatment drum 100 through the door seal via the foam drain pipe 402 to perform foam washing on the clothes. When the foam washing program is not needed, normal water intake occurs. Due to the large water volume, the water flows into the mixing chamber 301 and overflows from the overflow pipe 800 and the foam drain pipe 402 into the fabric treatment drum 100 to perform normal washing on the clothes. This configuration of the mixing chamber 301, through control, allows for switching between foam washing and normal washing water intake, providing a dual-function operation. Ensure sufficient foaming volume and speed without affecting normal water intake.

[0069] It is worth noting that in some alternative implementations, the overflow pipe 800 can be omitted.

[0070] It should be noted that when the overflow pipe 800 is removed, the mixing chamber 301 only supplies water and foam to the door seal through the bubble drain pipe 402. In this case, the diameter of the bubble drain pipe 402 can be appropriately increased. For example, the original outer diameter of the bubble drain pipe 402 can be selected as 12mm-15mm, and after increasing the diameter, the diameter of the bubble drain pipe 402 can be selected as 25mm-40mm, preferably 30mm-35mm, to ensure the water intake speed.

[0071] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the foamer 302 is disposed at the bottom of the mixing chamber 301;

[0072] The connection points of the liquid inlet pipe 401, the bubble discharge pipe 402, and the mixing chamber 301 are all higher than the setting position of the foamer 302.

[0073] In this embodiment, the foamer 302 is positioned at the bottom of the mixing chamber 301. This ensures that the washing liquid and water contact the foamer 302 first upon entering the mixing chamber 301, thus immediately initiating the mixing and foaming process. This arrangement helps improve the uniformity of the mixture and the foaming efficiency. Since the inlet pipe 401 and the outlet pipe 402 are positioned higher than the foamer 302, the mixture naturally flows towards the foamer 302 after entering the mixing chamber 301. This design utilizes gravity to assist the contact between the mixture and the foamer 302, reducing the energy required to pump the mixture and improving energy efficiency.

[0074] Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, multiple foamers 302 are provided, and multiple foamers 302 are all located at the bottom of the mixing chamber 301, while the connection points between the liquid inlet pipe 401 and the foam outlet pipe 402 and the mixing chamber 301 are all located at the top of the mixing chamber 301.

[0075] In this embodiment, multiple foamers 302 positioned at the bottom of the mixing chamber 301 increase the foaming area, thereby improving foaming efficiency and the uniformity of foam generation. This arrangement helps to form more uniform foam throughout the mixing chamber 301. Multiple foamers 302 can operate simultaneously, allowing the detergent and water to mix more quickly and evenly within the mixing chamber 301, thus improving washing efficiency. The inlet pipe 401 and the outlet pipe 402 are positioned at the top of the mixing chamber 301, ensuring that the mixture is injected from the top, while the foam is generated from the bottom and rises to fill the entire mixing chamber 301, finally exiting from the top. This design facilitates continuous foam generation and discharge, reducing the residence time of foam within the mixing chamber 301 and improving the continuity and efficiency of the washing process. Because the foam is generated from the bottom and discharged upwards, this arrangement reduces the contact between the foam and the walls of the mixing chamber 301 during its ascent, thereby reducing foam breakage and loss and maintaining foam stability.

[0076] Preferably, the foamer 301 is a hollow component with dense pores on its peripheral wall. More preferably, there are two to three foamers 302, which can increase the foaming area and accelerate the foaming process. A liquid level detection probe (not shown in the figure) may also be installed in the mixing chamber 301 for controlling the water level of the foam washing inlet.

[0077] Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, the outlet of the bubble removal pipe 402 is connected to the top of the door seal of the fabric treatment cylinder 100, and a flow guiding structure is provided at the outlet of the bubble removal pipe 402.

[0078] The foam discharged from the outlet of the foam discharge pipe 402 can be guided into the fabric treatment cylinder 100 through the flow guiding structure.

[0079] In this embodiment, the outlet of the foam discharge pipe 402 is located at the top of the door seal of the fabric treatment drum 100 and is equipped with a flow guiding structure. This allows for precise control of the position and direction of foam entering the fabric treatment drum 100, ensuring that the foam is evenly distributed on the clothes and improving the washing effect. The flow guiding structure design reduces foam loss and waste during the discharge process, increases foam utilization, and allows more foam to reach the surface of the clothes, enhancing the washing effect.

[0080] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the flow guiding structure includes a flow guiding nozzle 500 disposed at the outlet of the bubble removal pipe 402:

[0081] The flow guide nozzle 500 is designed so that the foam guided by the flow guide nozzle 500 can be sprayed into the fabric treatment cylinder 100 in a waterfall shape.

[0082] In this embodiment, the guide nozzle 500 is designed to spray foam in a waterfall pattern, which increases the foam coverage area on the clothes, improving washing uniformity and effectiveness. The waterfall-shaped spray allows the foam to penetrate deeper into the fabric fibers, helping to remove stains and bacteria more effectively. The waterfall-shaped spray formed by the guide nozzle 500 also ensures that the washing liquid is more evenly distributed within the fabric treatment drum 100, reducing localized accumulation and improving washing efficiency. Furthermore, the waterfall-shaped spray is less prone to splashing compared to directly discharged foam, reducing foam loss during discharge and increasing foam utilization.

[0083] Specifically, in some possible implementations, the flow guide nozzle 500 includes a mounting section 501, a pressure transforming section 502, and a diffusion section 503 connected in sequence;

[0084] The installation section 501 is installed on the mounting hole of the door seal. The pressure-changing section 502 is a first reducing pipe section whose diameter gradually decreases along the foam flow direction and bends towards the inside of the fabric treatment cylinder 100 to increase the spray pressure of the water flow and / or foam. The diffusion section 503 is a second reducing pipe section whose diameter gradually increases along the foam flow direction and bends towards the inside of the fabric treatment cylinder 100 to release the pressure after the water flow and / or foam is sprayed out, forming a waterfall-like spray effect, expanding the spray range, and making the water flow or foam more evenly applied to the clothes inside the cylinder, increasing uniformity and effectiveness.

[0085] Specifically, the mounting section 501 is positioned on the mounting hole of the door seal, ensuring that the guide nozzle 500 is precisely installed and fixed on the door seal of the fabric treatment drum 100, guaranteeing the stability and durability of the nozzle. The pressure-changing section 502 gradually decreases in diameter along the foam flow direction. This design increases the pressure of the foam as it passes through the pressure-changing section 502, allowing the foam to be sprayed into the fabric treatment drum 100 with higher speed and energy, improving the washing effect. The design of the pressure-changing section 502 curving towards the inside of the fabric treatment drum 100 helps control the foam flow direction, ensuring that the foam enters the drum directly, reducing foam loss and splashing. The diffusion section 503 gradually increases in diameter along the foam flow direction. This design allows the foam pressure to be released in the diffusion section 503, expanding the foam spray range and allowing the foam to more evenly cover the clothes in the drum. The design of the diffusion section 503 facing towards the inside of the fabric treatment drum 100 helps to evenly spray the foam onto the clothes, enhancing the washing effect of the foam, especially for clothes in different areas of the drum.

[0086] In this embodiment, the synergistic effect of the pressure-changing section 502 and the diffusion section 503 enables the foam to be evenly distributed throughout the entire fabric treatment drum 100, improving the uniformity of washing. This also reduces energy loss during foam flow and improves energy utilization efficiency.

[0087] Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, the detergent box includes a box body and a box lid, wherein a detergent storage cavity is formed in the box body and a flow channel is formed inside the box lid;

[0088] The lid is a flat lid structure with an upper lid and a lower lid.

[0089] In this embodiment, by setting the lid to a flat structure and providing a flow channel inside the lid for conveying detergent and / or washing water, this design avoids a significant increase in the size of the detergent box. Furthermore, by providing a flow channel inside the flat lid, the washing water injected into the flow channel and the detergent pumped into the flow channel can flow with sufficient pressure toward the inlet pipe 401, facilitating the outward flow of detergent and washing water from the flow channel and preventing detergent and washing water from stagnating in the flow channel inside the lid. This allows the washing water flowing into the mixing chamber 301 to be mixed and foamed according to a precise ratio, improving the foaming effect.

[0090] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the fabric treatment equipment has a foam washing program that introduces foam during washing and a normal washing program that does not introduce foam during washing.

[0091] in

[0092] In the foam washing program, detergent and washing water are injected into the mixing chamber 301 of the fabric treatment equipment and foamed by the foamer 302. The foam generated in the mixing chamber 301 can enter the fabric treatment cylinder 100 through the foam discharge pipe 402.

[0093] In the normal washing program, the fabric treatment equipment injects washing water separately into the mixing chamber 301, and the washing water can also enter the fabric treatment cylinder 100 through the bubble drain pipe 402.

[0094] In the foam washing program, the fabric treatment device in this embodiment injects detergent and washing water into the mixing chamber 301 and foams it through the foamer 302. The resulting foam can penetrate deeper into the clothing fibers, improving the washing effect, especially for stubborn stains. In the normal washing program, only washing water is injected without foaming, reducing the use of water and detergent, which helps to save water and energy and reduce user operating costs. At the same time, in the normal washing program, the foam drain pipe 402 also serves as a water inlet pipe to supply water to the fabric treatment drum, so there is no need to set up a separate pipeline to ensure water supply in the normal washing program, thereby optimizing the pipeline design.

[0095] Specifically, when the foam washing program is required, the dispensing pump 700 first dispenses detergent into the mixing chamber 301. Then, the main water inlet valve of the main water pipeline 600 is controlled by the opening time or the liquid level detection device to control the intake of a small amount of water to mix into high-concentration washing water. After the water is dispensed, the inlet valve on the inlet pipe 401 and the overflow valve on the overflow pipe 800 are closed. Then, air or ozone gas is introduced into the foamer 302 in the mixing chamber 301 through the external air pump 901 and / or ozone generator 902. Foaming occurs in the mixing chamber 301, and the foam enters the fabric treatment drum 100 through the door seal via the foam drain pipe 402 to perform foam washing on the clothes. When the foam washing program is not required, normal water is dispensed. Due to the large amount of water, the water flows into the mixing chamber 301 and overflows from the overflow pipe 800 and the foam drain pipe 402 into the fabric treatment drum 100 to perform normal washing on the clothes. This configuration of the mixing chamber 301, through control, allows for switching between foam washing and normal washing water intake, providing a dual-function solution. It ensures sufficient foam volume and speed without affecting normal water intake.

[0096] Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, the fabric processing equipment also includes an overflow pipe 800 connected between the mixing chamber 301 and the fabric processing cylinder 100. The overflow pipe 800 is provided with an overflow valve, and the opening and closing of the overflow valve can control the on / off state of the overflow pipe 800 and the fabric processing cylinder 100.

[0097] In the normal washing program, the washing water introduced into the mixing chamber 301 can enter the fabric treatment drum 100 through the bubble drain pipe 402 and the overflow pipe 800.

[0098] As described above, when the fabric treatment equipment has an overflow pipe 800 and the equipment needs to use a foam washing program, the dosing pump 700 first adds detergent to the mixing chamber 301. Then, the opening time of the main wash water inlet valve of the main water pipeline 600 is controlled by the main water inlet valve, or the liquid level detection device controls the addition of a fixed amount of water to mix into high-concentration washing water. After the water is added, the inlet valve on the inlet pipe 401 and the overflow valve on the overflow pipe 800 are closed. This allows the detergent and washing water in the mixing chamber 301 to be fully mixed and foamed.

[0099] Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, the fabric treatment equipment also includes an ozone generator 900 disposed outside the mixing chamber 301. The ozone generator 900 includes a gas pump 901 and an ozone generator 902 connected in series, and an air inlet pipe 903 connected between the ozone generator 902 and the foamer 302. Ozone gas can be injected into the mixing chamber 301 through the air inlet pipe 903 when the foamer 302 foams the mixture in the mixing chamber 301.

[0100] The air inlet pipe 903 is also equipped with a check valve 904, which is designed to allow fluid to flow from the ozone generator 902 to the mixing chamber 301 and restrict fluid from flowing from the mixing chamber 301 to the ozone generator 902.

[0101] In this embodiment, injecting ozone gas into the mixing chamber 301 enhances the sterilization and deodorization effects during the washing process. Ozone is a strong oxidant that effectively kills bacteria and decomposes odors. Specifically, ozone can decompose organic stains that are difficult for detergents to remove, improving washing quality and making clothes cleaner. The injection of ozone gas also enhances the cleaning power of the foam, allowing the detergent in the foam to remove stains more effectively.
