Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a laundry device, in particular to a laundry device with washing and drying functions. Background Art

[0002] Traditional washing and drying appliances have a drum that holds the items to be washed and dried. The drum rotates so that the water and heat are evenly dispersed. In addition to creating undesirable noise and vibration during the wash and dry cycles, the drum can develop problems over time, such as worn drum bearings and drive belts, drum leaks, damage to the inside of the drum, and drum misalignment. This can lead to washer failure and poor washing and drying of items.

[0003] However, the user's greatest concern may be the condition of the items that have been processed through such washing and drying equipment. Item tangling and wrinkling are common problems caused by overloading or unbalanced loads within the drum, mixing of heavy and light fabrics in the same load, loose agitators, and aggressive wash cycles. In addition, as the items rotate, the items rub against each other and essentially scrub against each other. If the items are made of fabric, the friction of the items may cause lint with damaged fibers. In addition, snaps, hooks, and clasps on the items may cause damage to other parts of the same item, other items, or the drum. Solid materials that are mistakenly inserted into the drum, for example, are left inside the pockets of the items, may also cause similar damage to the items and the washing machine. Tearable materials such as paper towels may break down during the washing process, releasing lint and paper residues that may cling to the items, making them look untidy, and the residues may also clog the washing machine's drainage system.

[0004] Therefore, there are many washing and drying devices that can hang and process clothes without using a drum. An example is disclosed in US7060106B2, which describes a device for washing and drying clothes or other items in a single unit. Clothes or other items are placed on hangers in the device with spaces between the hangers. A manifold with arms extends on each side of the item, wherein the manifold is movable vertically so that the arms can move along the length of the item to be processed. These arms have a set of pipes for spraying wash water, rinse water and other detergents on the items. In addition, the arms have another set of pipes to deliver air to the items, thereby drying the items. After the cycle is completed, the clothes or other items can remain in the device until needed.

[0005] US7089768B2 discloses a cabinet washing machine which uses a conveyor belt to move the laundry in a cycle, the laundry going through the various successive steps of the laundry cycle, including the actual washing process, the downstream pre-dehumidification and the drying and pressing stages all within the same casing of the machine.

[0006] Since US7060106B2 utilizes a movable manifold, the washing liquid is discharged to different parts of the clothes or other items to be cleaned as the manifold moves, so the whole clothes are not treated at the same time, which can lead to uneven water dispersion and heat distribution. In addition, the distance between the arms is fixed, which limits the applicable clothes or heavy items, thereby affecting the movement of the manifold and the washing and drying effects. On the other hand, US7089768B2 requires a shell with a large space to allow the clothes to circulate therein to pass through the different steps of the washing cycle. The applicable size and weight of the clothes must be considered because they may affect the circulation movement, and each part of the shell used for different treatment processes must have enough space to accommodate the clothes.

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a laundry appliance that solves all the above problems. Summary of the invention

Each article is suspended from the rod 300 by a hanger, and preferably the article is oriented with its front and rear surfaces facing the surface of the panel 400. If the article is clothing, the hanger may be a hanger.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the laundry device 1000 includes at least one set of panels, each set of panels including two spaced panels 400, which are at least substantially positioned vertically in a parallel manner. The space between each two adjacent panels 400 must be sufficient to allow at least and preferably one product to be positioned therebetween, and the product has a suitable predetermined distance from the nozzle 410. In the case where the product is positioned between two adjacent panels 400, the two panels 400 may have a surface with a nozzle 410 facing the product, wherein the fluid is discharged from opposite directions toward the opposite parts of the product (such as the front and rear of the product), respectively. It is also possible to have only one panel 400, whose nozzle 410 faces the product, wherein the fluid is applied to the product in a single direction. Figure 2 An example of a laundry appliance 1000 having a set of panels is shown.

[0038] In such Figure 3In the embodiment of the laundry appliance shown having two or more arrays of panels 400, the arrays of panels 400 are positioned one above the other in a vertical configuration, with one array of panels 400 stacked on top of another panel 400. The array of panels 400 allows the laundry appliance 1000 to have more than one layer of panels 400. Each layer of panels 400 can be contained in its own compartment, which can be separated by a divider. The panels 400 extend from the top to the bottom of each compartment, leaving space at the bottom to accommodate unwanted fluids (e.g., unwanted water) before they are discharged from the housing 200. In order to provide substantially or preferably complete treatment coverage of the article, the size of each panel 400 is close to or greater than the average size or possible maximum size of the article to be cleaned. Specifically, the distribution of nozzles 410 occupies an area close to or greater than the average surface area or possible maximum surface area of ​​the article to be cleaned, where the surface area is the portion of the article facing the nozzle 410.

[0039] A moving mechanism is incorporated in the laundry device 1000, which allows the panel 400 to move along the rod 300. The moving mechanism includes a rod 300, which connects the panel 400 and provides at least one track that defines a moving path for the panel 400 so that the panel 400 can move along the rod 300, and an actuator that controls the movement of the panel 400. A single track can be set along the rod 300 to allow one panel 400 to move along the entire track, or more than one panel 400 of the same array can be configured to move along the rod 300 on the same track. In another embodiment, each panel 400 can be provided with its own track on the rod 300, so that the panel 400 has a restricted moving path. In yet another embodiment, there is at least one track that is individually provided for each panel 400, and at the same time there is at least one other track shared by more than one panel 400. As for the actuator, it can be driven by various power sources, including electric, pneumatic, hydraulic or piezoelectric systems, so that the panel 400 can move linearly along the track.

[0040] The laundry device 1000 also includes a sensor for detecting the thickness of the article. Examples of applicable sensors include, but are not limited to, capacitive sensors, laser sensors, etc. The moving mechanism is configured to move one or more panels 400 according to the detected thickness of the article positioned adjacent to one panel 400, or to move the article between two panels 400 to maintain a predetermined distance between the article and the adjacent panel 400.

[0041] A water supply system supplies fluid in the form of water in a water supply line to treat items. Figure 4, the water supply system may include a water source 710 and a pump 720. The term "water source" as used herein may refer to a local water source or a component that allows water from an external water source to be directed into the system. The laundry device 1000. These components may include a hose connected to a faucet or a valve. On the other hand, the pump 720 is used to increase the pressure of the water and transport the water from one location to another by generating a flow. The water source must have sufficient water pressure to supply the laundry device 1000. The laundry device 1000 requires sufficient water pressure to perform a washing process with water at a desired rate. A pressure regulator may be added to the water supply system to control the water pressure and reduce the water pressure to a predetermined level.

[0042] The piping system is used to connect the water supply system to the panel 400 for water supply. Preferably, the piping system includes a main pipe, a first pipe branching from the main pipe connected to the water supply system, and a plurality of smaller pipes branching from the main pipe connected to the panel 400, respectively. Optionally, the piping system includes a water pipe connecting the water supply system to each panel 400, or the water pipe is connected between the water supply system and the panel 400 closest to the water supply system, so that water flows from one panel 400 to the next panel 400 in sequence until the last panel 400. It should be noted that other arrangements and structures of the piping system are also applicable as long as it is possible to guide water from the water supply system to the panel 400. Along the water supply line inside the laundry device 1000, a water inlet valve may be provided to control the water flow into the laundry device 1000 and / or one or more panels 400. When the washing process starts, the valve opens to allow pressurized water to enter the laundry device 1000.

[0043] Laundry appliance 1000 may include a built-in dispenser for detergent. An exemplary dispenser has one or more compartments for detergent and optional fabric softener. Figures 2 to 4 , the laundry device 1000 is formed with a detergent inlet 500 as part of a dispenser for receiving detergent. In addition, the laundry device 1000 may be formed with a softener inlet as part of a dispenser for receiving fabric softener. During the washing process, pressurized water is used to mix with detergent and / or fabric softener, wherein the mixture is distributed into the panel 400 through the piping system and discharged outside the panel 400 to interact with the items.

[0044] In order to dry the items, a heating system is provided. Figure 4As shown, the exemplary heating system includes a heater 810 and a compressor 820 for supplying a heating fluid in the form of air into the housing 200 through the nozzle 410. The heater 810 heats the air flowing into the laundry device 1000, and the compressor 820 compresses the air flowing into the laundry device 1000. The compressor 820 is used to generate compressed hot air to achieve rapid drying by discharging hot air at high speed, and to evenly dry the surface of the items to reduce moisture retention or uneven drying. The compressed hot air can be used to blow off excess moisture or particles on the surface of the items and perform precise drying, which allows the use of lower temperature air to dry the items. The pressure of the compressor 820 can be adjusted manually or automatically, depending on the type of the compressor 820 and its control system.

[0045] Hot air, whether compressed or not, can be supplied from the heating system to the panels 400 through a hot air supply line, which can be through the same duct system as described above for the water flow, or using a different duct system. In the case of using the same duct system, there is a second duct branching from the same main duct, which is connected to the heating system, so that the heated air can be supplied to each panel 400 through a smaller branch duct of the same main duct. Alternatively, a different duct system can be applied, which includes connecting the heating system to each panel 400 through a small duct branching from the air duct, or an air duct connected between the heating system and the nearest panel 400, so that the air is heated. The air passes through one panel 400 in sequence to the subsequent panel 400 until the last panel 400. It should be noted that other arrangements and structures of the duct system are also suitable for air flow from the heating system to the panel 400.

[0046] In order to allow the fragrance process to be performed, the housing 200 is provided with Figures 2 to 4 The aroma product receiver 600 shown. The aroma product can be an aroma box, a laundry aroma enhancer or an aroma bead, which is designed to add aroma to provide pleasant aroma for articles and possibly also the laundry device 1000. The aroma product works by releasing the aroma contained therein when the laundry cycle is carried out, for example, in a pod. Since it is preferred that the aroma product receiver is located after the heating system relative to the direction of entry of the heated fluid into the panel 400 through the heated air supply line, the aroma product releases the fragrance contained therein to mix with the heated fluid, so that the aroma process can be carried out simultaneously with the drying process of the articles. However, scenting can also be carried out during the washing process. When the perfume product is exposed to water, the perfume is released into the water and dispersed into the article. For example, water dissolves the outer layer of the perfume pod, releases the perfume into the water, so that the perfume is injected into the article during washing. In the rinsing process, as the articles are rinsed, any remaining perfume traces are further distributed in the shell.

[0047] refer to Figure 5 and 6 , respectively, show a preferred embodiment of a panel having a plurality of nozzles 410 arranged in a grid pattern on one surface thereof. Although not shown in any of the drawings, the opposite surface of the panel 400 may also be formed with one or more nozzles 410. Specifically, the grid pattern is similar to a dot grid pattern, characterized by having identical rows and columns of spaced and aligned nozzles. A row or column of nozzles 410 may be connected to its adjacent row or column by a tube within the panel 400. As shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, it can be seen that multiple tubes 420 connect every two adjacent rows in alternating positions. For example, the first tube connects the first row and the second row on the left, indicating that the fluid flows from the right side of the first row to the left side and enters the left side of the second row through the first tube; the second tube connects the second row and the third row on the right side, indicating that the fluid flows from the left side of the second row to the right side and enters the right side of the third row through the second tube. The tubes 420 are arranged in this alternating manner until the fluid is supplied to the last row. It should be noted that the positioning of "left", "right", etc. is only an example to illustrate the flow of fluid, and the installation of the tubes 420 is not limited to these positions.

[0048] The nozzles 410 are designed to control and direct the flow of water and heated air as the fluids exit the interior of the panel 400. The nozzles 410 are used to control the rate and direction of the fluid flow, as well as to accelerate the flow of the fluid by narrowing the passage of the nozzles 410 through which the fluid 410 passes. Thus, the nozzles 410 are suitable for use in washing and drying applications in a laundry cycle. For example, during a wash process, a water jet as a stream or jet of water can be propelled at high speed through each nozzle 410 to direct a high-speed stream of water or a cleaning solution, which is a mixture of water and detergent, and fabric softener can also be added, for removing dirt, debris or contaminants.

[0049] Each panel 400 is formed with a fluid supply compartment inside to accommodate the fluid discharged from the nozzle 410. Since the panel 400 is preferably hollow and has a space therein, the fluid supply compartment can be a space inside the panel connected to the nozzle 410. The nozzle 410 allows the fluid in the fluid supply chamber to be discharged from the nozzle 410 toward the items to be processed. In another preferred embodiment of the laundry device 1000, the laundry device 1000 has a piping system that connects the water supply system and the heating system to only one panel 400, wherein the same array of panels 400 are required to transfer the fluid to the subsequent panels 400, and these panels 400 can be formed with fluid transfer ducts or compartments inside to allow the fluid to flow from one panel to another until the last panel 400 has one or more panel fluid outlets, which can be panel water outlets and / or panel air outlets. The piping system is configured to allow fluid to be supplied to the fluid supply compartment and fluid transfer ducts or compartments of each panel 400.

[0050] The laundry device 1000 also includes a drainage system having an equipment outlet formed at the housing 200 to remove unwanted water from the housing 200. Unwanted water can be used to treat articles. An external hose can be connected to the equipment outlet to guide unwanted water to a destination to treat unwanted water. For a laundry device 200 having two or more layers and divided into compartments by a divider, the divider may be formed with a compartment outlet to guide unwanted water to the equipment outlet, wherein the compartment outlet may be connected to the equipment outlet or may allow unwanted water to flow freely from the compartment outlet into the equipment outlet. For a laundry device 1000 having two or more layers without a divider, unwanted water falls freely to the bottom of the cavity to be released outside the housing 200 through the equipment outlet.

[0051] Each panel 400 may be formed with a panel outlet to remove unwanted water within each panel 400. For connected panels 400, where fluid is transferred from one panel 400 to another until the last panel 400, the last panel 400 is formed with an outlet by the panel to remove unwanted water from all panels 400 of the same array. Water from the panel outlet may be discharged into the housing 200 to be directed out of the device outlet. Alternatively, one or more panel outlets may be connected to the device outlet by a conduit to drain unwanted water out of the housing 200 without releasing the unwanted water from the panel into the housing 200. A drain pump may be incorporated into the drain system to drain unwanted water out of the laundry appliance 1000.

[0052] In addition, the laundry device 1000 may also include a ventilation system to discharge moisture and / or unwanted air from the housing 200. For the convenience of explaining the ventilation system, moisture and unwanted air will be collectively referred to as "unwanted air" hereinafter. The housing 200 is formed with an equipment air outlet to discharge unwanted air from the housing 200 to the external environment. An exhaust duct may be connected to the equipment air outlet. For a laundry device 1000 having two or more layers divided into compartments by a partition, the partition may be formed with a compartment air outlet to guide unwanted air to the equipment air outlet, wherein the compartment air outlet may be connected to the equipment air outlet by a conduit, or unwanted air may be allowed to flow freely from the compartment air outlet into the equipment air outlet. For a laundry device 1000 having two or more layers and no partition, unwanted air may flow freely out of the housing 200 through the equipment air outlet.

[0053] Each panel 400 may be formed with a panel air outlet to remove unwanted air within each panel 400. For connected panels 400, where fluid is transferred from one panel 400 to another until the last panel 400, the last panel 400 is formed with a panel air outlet to remove unwanted air from all panels 400 of the same array. The air from the panel air outlet may be discharged into the housing to be directed out of the device air outlet, or one or more panel air outlets may be connected to the device air outlet via a duct to exhaust the unwanted air from the housing 200 when it is necessary to release the unwanted air from the panel 400 into the housing 200. For example, a built-in fan or blower may be added to the ventilation system inside the laundry appliance 1000, which helps to circulate the unwanted hot air within the laundry appliance 1000 and exhaust it through the exhaust duct.

[0054] In operation, the laundry device 1000 can be configured to run a preferred embodiment of a laundry cycle including a washing and drying process. The washing process begins by spraying water from the nozzle 410 to the articles to wet the articles and remove dirt, debris or contaminants from the articles, preferably for about 1 minute. Afterwards, the detergent and optional fabric softener are dissolved with water to produce a soap solution, which wets and saturates the articles and is ready for the washing process. This step helps to remove dirt and stains on the articles before rinsing, especially those made of fabric. The articles are placed in the soap solution for a few minutes, preferably 3 minutes, which is considered to be a soaking process to remove dirt, debris and contaminants that may include bacteria. Afterwards, the washing process continues with rinsing, in which water without detergent is dispersed from the nozzle to the articles. The soap solution is rinsed off, preferably for 1 minute. Once rinsing is completed, the unnecessary water used for washing is removed from the laundry device 1000 through the drainage system. The laundry cycle then enters a drying process, in which heated air is discharged from the nozzle to the articles. Perfuming can be performed simultaneously with the drying process, in which the discharged hot air is perfumed. When the drying process is completed, unnecessary air is exhausted from the laundry apparatus 1000 through the ventilation system.
