Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular, relates to a clothing processing device. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, various smart devices are widely used in all aspects of people's lives. Take washing machines as an example. As one of the indispensable household appliances in modern families, the functions of washing machines are becoming more and more diversified, meeting the various needs of users as much as possible.
[0003] Due to the limitations of the washing machine structure and the particularity of the usage environment, the inner and outer barrels inside the washing machine are a closed environment and only water can pass through, so dirt will adhere to the inner and outer barrels. Relevant organizations have determined that after 3-5 months of use, bacteria of varying degrees will grow inside the washing machine, and most of the bacteria that grow are harmful to the human body. As people's demand for environmental protection and hygiene becomes higher and higher, from the perspective of fundamentally avoiding secondary pollution of clothes by washing machines and being responsible for the health of users, the cleaning of the internal environment of the washing machine has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved.
[0004] Chinese patent application number CN200820183308.4 discloses a drum-to-drum washing machine with inter-drum cleaning function, which includes an inner drum, an outer drum and a plurality of round silicone balls for cleaning the inner and outer drum walls. The inner drum rotates during washing to drive the flow of water, thereby driving the silicone balls between the inner and outer drums of the washing machine to move and continuously collide with the walls of the inner and outer drums to achieve the purpose of cleaning the inner and outer drum walls. However, the relative hardness of this ball is relatively large. It was found in the test that hard objects have little effect on the cleaning of the inner and outer barrels. Moreover, the number of balls is 20-80, which is easy to produce a lot of noise during the washing process, especially the dehydration process, and increase the energy consumption of the washing machine, affecting the life of the washing machine. In addition, since the material used is silicone, this material is easy to fall into pieces after being rubbed several times. On the one hand, the life is affected, and on the other hand, the fallen debris affects the cleaning effect of the washing machine. If used in a drum with a drying function, the silicone ball is easy to age and lose its function. At the same time, the patent does not consider that the silicone ball is placed between the inner and outer barrels of the washing machine for a long time. After a long time, the silicone ball itself may also generate dirt. The closed structure of the washing machine makes it impossible to take the silicone ball out of the washing machine, and it cannot be cleaned or replaced, which greatly reduces the cleaning effect of the inner and outer barrels.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a clothing processing device that integrates a filter and a cleaning component on the frame component to form a new structure, which can not only filter the washing water and improve the washing effect of clothes, but also clean the inner wall of the outer barrel and reduce secondary pollution.
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a clothes processing device, including an outer barrel and a rotatable inner barrel, and also including:
[0008] The filter is installed in the inner barrel and is used to filter impurities in the washing water;
[0009] A cleaning component is installed between the inner and outer barrels and is used to clean the inner wall of the outer barrel;
[0010] The frame assembly is arranged through the inner barrel wall, the part located in the inner barrel constitutes a filter frame for installing the filter, and the part located between the inner and outer barrels constitutes a first slide rail for installing the cleaning assembly.
[0011] Furthermore, an opening is provided on the inner barrel wall, and the frame assembly is detachably mounted at the opening through the filter frame, and the size of the opening is greater than or equal to the size of the first slide rail and greater than or equal to the size of the cleaning assembly;
[0012] Preferably, the filter frame has a size greater than or equal to a size of the opening, and is detachably connected to the filter.
[0013] In the above scheme, the frame assembly is detachably mounted on the inner barrel wall, and the sizes of the first slide rail and the cleaning assembly are smaller than the size of the opening, so that the cleaning assembly can be removed from the inner barrel wall together with the frame assembly for easy cleaning, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning assembly on the inner wall of the outer barrel; at the same time, the size of the filter frame is greater than or equal to the size of the opening, so that when the filter frame is installed at the opening, the strength of the barrel wall at the edge of the opening is strengthened to prevent deformation of the barrel wall; the filter frame is detachably connected to the filter, which is convenient for cleaning and replacement of the filter, thereby ensuring the filtering effect of the washing water and the washing effect of the clothes.
[0014] Furthermore, the cleaning component comprises:
[0015] A sliding member, detachably mounted on the first slide rail and slidable on the first slide rail;
[0016] A cleaning unit, one end of which is detachably connected to the sliding member;
[0017] When the frame assembly is mounted on the inner barrel wall, the other end of the cleaning unit extends toward the outer barrel and abuts against the inner wall of the outer barrel;
[0018] The first slide rail and / or the sliding member is provided with a limiting member.
[0019] In the above scheme, through the cooperation between the sliding member and the first slide rail, the cleaning unit can slide up and down when cleaning the inner wall of the outer barrel, thereby increasing the cleaning area and improving the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency; at the same time, the sliding member is detachably mounted on the first slide rail, and the sliding member is detachably connected to the cleaning unit, so that the entire cleaning assembly can be selectively removed from the first slide rail as needed, or only the cleaning unit can be removed, which is convenient for selective replacement and cleaning.
[0020] At the same time, the cleaning unit is located between the inner and outer barrels. When cleaning the inner wall of the outer barrel, it will also play a preliminary filtering role on impurities in the washing water in the inner and outer barrels, reducing the degree of secondary pollution.
[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a second slide rail, which is arranged on the outer wall of the inner barrel and is located above the opening, and the upper end of the second slide rail extends upward to the upper end of the inner barrel;
[0022] When the frame assembly is installed on the inner barrel wall, the lower end of the second slide rail is detachably connected to the upper end of the first slide rail.
[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a third slide rail, which is arranged on the outer wall of the inner barrel and is located below the opening, and the lower end of the third slide rail extends downward to the bottom of the inner barrel;
[0024] When the frame assembly is installed on the inner barrel wall, the upper end of the third slide rail is detachably connected to the lower end of the first slide rail.
[0025] Furthermore, the first slide rail, the second slide rail, and the third slide rail are connected to form a track in the vertical direction, and the cleaning component can slide reciprocatingly up and down on the track.
[0026] In the above scheme, a track is formed by splicing the first slide rail, the second slide rail and the third slide rail, and the track extends to the upper end and the bottom of the inner barrel, so that when the cleaning component slides on the track, it can clean the entire height of the inner wall of the outer barrel, and as the inner barrel rotates, it can clean the entire inner wall of the outer barrel, thereby increasing the cleaning area and improving the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency.
[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a control module connected to the cleaning component to control the cleaning component to slide back and forth within a preset height on the track;
[0028] The laundry processing device has a preset water level for laundry processing, and the preset height exceeds the preset water level by 10% to 20%.
[0029] In the above scheme, automatic control can be achieved by setting up a control module, and the control module is used to control the cleaning component to slide back and forth within a preset height, thereby increasing the number of cleaning times and improving the cleaning effect; and the cleaning component does not need to slide up and down within the entire height of the inner barrel every time, which saves working time and improves work efficiency.
[0030] Furthermore, the preset water level includes a low water level, a middle water level and a high water level;
[0031] The preset height exceeds the low water level by 10-15%, preferably 10%;
[0032] The preset height exceeds the mid-water level by 15-20%, preferably 15%;
[0033] The preset height exceeds the high water level by 15-20%, preferably by 20%.
[0034] In the above scheme, since the rotation of the inner barrel causes water turbulence, the actual height that the water flow can reach is higher than the preset water level. Therefore, within a certain height exceeding the preset water level, dirt will adhere to the inner wall of the outer barrel and need to be cleaned. The more washing water there is, the higher the turbulence height generated by the water flow, and the height that needs to be cleaned will increase accordingly when it exceeds the preset water level.
[0035] The preset height is the height to which the top of the cleaning component can slide. The present invention sets the preset height for the sliding of the cleaning component to be 10% to 20% higher than the preset water level, and gradually increases the preset height as the water level increases, all in order to increase the cleaning area of the cleaning component on the inner wall of the outer barrel and improve the cleaning effect.
[0036] Further, the control module controls the cleaning component to slide back and forth within a preset height when the laundry processing device performs a washing / rinsing / draining program;
[0037] When the dehydration process is executed, the control module controls the limiting member to limit the cleaning component on the first slide rail;
[0038] Alternatively, the laundry processing device has a separately set cleaning program, and when the cleaning time reaches a preset time, the control module controls the limiting member to limit the cleaning component on the first slide rail.
[0039] In the above scheme, during washing / rinsing / draining, since the inner barrel rotates slowly, when the cleaning component slides up and down, the inner wall of the outer barrel can be cleaned in real time to prevent dirt from adhering and ensure the cleaning effect without causing damage to the cleaning component. However, during the dehydration process, the sliding cleaning component is easily damaged due to the high-speed rotation of the inner barrel. Therefore, the cleaning component is limited on the first slide rail during dehydration, which can not only protect the cleaning component but also facilitate subsequent disassembly.
[0040] The limiting member can not only play the role of installing the cleaning component on the first slide rail, but also play the role of limiting the cleaning component on the first slide rail when the cleaning component slides on the rail, and then removing it together with the frame component.
[0041] Furthermore, it also includes a monitoring module connected to the control module, which monitors the sliding position of the cleaning component on the track in real time and transmits the position information to the control module. The control module controls the cleaning component to slide back and forth within a preset height according to the position information, and controls the limit member to limit the cleaning component on the first slide rail after cleaning is completed.
[0042] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0043] 1. The present invention integrates the filter and the cleaning component on the frame component to form a new structure, which can not only filter the washing water to improve the washing effect of clothes, but also clean the inner wall of the outer barrel to reduce secondary pollution.
[0044] 2. The cleaning component in the present invention can be removed from the inner barrel wall together with the frame component, and the sliding member can be detachably installed on the first slide rail, and the sliding member is detachably connected to the cleaning unit. In this way, the entire cleaning component can be selectively removed from the first slide rail as needed, or only the cleaning unit can be removed, which is convenient for selective replacement and cleaning, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning component on the inner wall of the outer barrel; at the same time, the size of the filter frame is greater than or equal to the size of the opening, so that when the filter frame is installed at the opening, the strength of the barrel wall at the edge of the opening is strengthened to prevent the barrel wall from deforming; the filter frame is detachably connected to the filter, which is convenient for cleaning and replacement of the filter, thereby ensuring the filtering effect of the washing water and the washing effect of the clothes.
[0045] 3. After the dehydration process is performed or the cleaning is completed, the cleaning component is limited on the first slide rail, which can protect the cleaning component and facilitate subsequent disassembly.
[0046] 4. The present invention sets a preset height for the cleaning component to slide up and down on the track. The preset height exceeds the preset water level of the clothing processing device, and the higher the preset water level, the higher the preset height, which can increase the cleaning area of the cleaning component, clean the dirt adhered to the inner wall of the outer barrel due to the agitation of the water flow, improve the cleaning effect, avoid dead corners, and effectively prevent secondary pollution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0055] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0056] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0057] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "abutted" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a detachable connection, a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to specific circumstances.
[0058] In real life, after long-term use, clothes processing equipment such as washing machines will have dirt adhered to the inner wall of the outer barrel. If they are not cleaned for a long time, secondary pollution will occur, which will have adverse effects on clothes and the health of users. In the prior art, most of them use suspended cleaning balls to clean between the inner and outer barrels. However, since the cleaning balls have a limited lifespan and are not easy to be taken out for cleaning, the cleaning effect will be greatly reduced over time. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a clothes processing device, which uses a slide rail assembly and a cleaning assembly that can move up and down on the slide rail assembly to clean the inner wall of the outer barrel. The specific structure is as follows:
[0059] As an embodiment, the present invention provides a clothes processing device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clothing processing device is taken as an example as a pulsator washing machine.
[0060] The pulsator washing machine includes an outer tub and an inner tub 100 , wherein the outer tub is used to contain washing water, and the inner tub 100 is rotatably disposed inside the outer tub for washing clothes.
[0061] It also includes a frame assembly, a filter 330 , and a cleaning assembly 400 .
[0062] The filter 330 is installed in the inner tub 100 and is used to filter impurities in the washing water.
[0063] The cleaning assembly 400 is installed between the inner and outer barrels, and is used to clean the inner wall of the outer barrel when the inner barrel 100 rotates.
[0064] The frame assembly is disposed through the wall of the inner barrel 100 , and the portion located inside the inner barrel 100 constitutes a filter frame 310 for installing the filter 330 , and the portion located between the inner and outer barrels constitutes a first slide rail 210 for installing the cleaning assembly 400 .
[0065] The present invention integrates the filter 330 and the cleaning component 400 on the frame component to form a new structure, which can not only filter the washing water to improve the washing effect of clothes, but also clean the inner wall of the outer barrel to reduce secondary pollution.
[0066] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a filter frame 310 is provided on the side of the frame assembly facing the inner barrel 100. The filter frame 310 is a frame body with an installation cavity. The frame body is provided with a water inlet. A filter 330 is detachably installed in the installation cavity. A water filtering cavity is formed between the filter 330 and the filter frame 310. A filter hole 340 is provided on the filter 330. Washing water flowing from the water inlet into the water filtering cavity flows back into the inner barrel 100 after being filtered through the filter hole 340, and the filtered impurities are temporarily stored in the water filtering cavity. Through the cooperation of the filter 330 and the filter frame 310, the washing water is filtered, thereby improving the cleanliness of the washing water and the degree of washing of the clothes.
[0067] The side surfaces of the filter 330 and the filter frame 310 facing the inner tub 100 are smoothly transitioned to the inner wall of the inner tub 100 to prevent damage to the clothes.
[0068] The filter 330 is detachably connected to the filter frame 310, which facilitates the cleaning and replacement of the filter 330 and ensures the filtering effect of the washing water and the washing effect of the clothes.
[0069] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an opening 110 for installing the frame assembly is provided on the wall of the inner barrel 100, and the size of the opening 110 is smaller than or equal to the size of the filter frame 310. By detachably installing the filter frame 310 at the opening 110, the frame assembly can be detached from the wall of the inner barrel 100.
[0070] The size of the filter frame 310 is greater than or equal to the size of the opening 110 , so that when the filter frame 310 is installed at the opening 110 , the strength of the barrel wall at the edge of the opening 110 is strengthened to prevent the barrel wall from deforming.
[0071] Specifically, when the filter frame 310 is installed at the opening 110 , the middle portion of the filter frame 310 just blocks the opening 110 , and the edge portion is concave and just fits on the wall of the inner barrel 100 .
[0072] It should be noted that there are many ways to disassemble the frame assembly from the wall of the inner barrel 100, and all existing disassembly methods are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0073] The size of the opening 110 is greater than or equal to the size of the first slide rail 210 , and greater than or equal to the size of the cleaning assembly 400 .
[0074] The present invention removably mounts the frame assembly on the wall of the inner barrel 100, and the sizes of the first slide rail 210 and the cleaning assembly 400 are both smaller than the size of the opening 110, so that the cleaning assembly 400 can pass through the opening 110 to enter between the inner and outer barrels when it is installed on the wall of the inner barrel 100 together with the frame assembly to clean the inner wall of the outer barrel, or be removed from the wall of the inner barrel 100 for easy cleaning, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning assembly 400 on the inner wall of the outer barrel.
[0075] The cleaning assembly 400 includes a sliding member 410 and a cleaning unit 420 .
[0076] The sliding member 410 is detachably mounted on the first slide rail 210 and is slidable on the first slide rail 210 .
[0077] One end of the cleaning unit 420 is detachably connected to the sliding member 410 , and when the frame assembly is installed on the wall of the inner barrel 100 , the other end of the cleaning unit 420 extends toward the outer barrel and abuts against the inner wall of the outer barrel.
[0078] Through the cooperation between the sliding member 410 and the first slide rail 210, the cleaning unit 420 can slide up and down when cleaning the inner wall of the outer barrel, thereby increasing the cleaning area and improving the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency; the sliding member 410 is detachably mounted on the first slide rail 210, and the sliding member 410 and the cleaning unit 420 are detachably connected, so that the entire cleaning assembly 400 can be selectively removed from the first slide rail 210 as needed, or only the cleaning unit 420 can be removed, so as to facilitate selective replacement and cleaning.
[0079] The cleaning unit 420 is made of a brush or other soft cleaning materials, and will not damage the inner wall of the outer barrel when achieving the cleaning effect; and because the cleaning component 400 is slidable, the extension length of the cleaning unit 420 does not need to be equal to the height of the inner barrel 100, while ensuring the cleaning effect, saving consumables and reducing costs.
[0080] It also includes a second slide rail 220, which is arranged on the outer wall of the inner barrel 100 and is located above the opening 110. The upper end of the second slide rail 220 extends upward to the upper end of the inner barrel 100. When the frame assembly is installed on the wall of the inner barrel 100, the lower end of the second slide rail 220 is detachably connected to the upper end of the first slide rail 210.
[0081] It also includes a third slide rail 230, which is arranged on the outer wall of the inner barrel 100 and is located below the opening 110. The lower end of the third slide rail 230 extends downward to the bottom of the inner barrel 100. When the frame assembly is installed on the wall of the inner barrel 100, the upper end of the third slide rail 230 is detachably connected to the lower end of the first slide rail 210.
[0082] On the basis of ensuring that the frame assembly is detachable, the first slide rail 210, the second slide rail 220 and the third slide rail 230 are connected in the vertical direction to form a track, so that the cleaning assembly 400 can slide on the track, and the track extends to the upper end and the bottom of the inner barrel 100, so that when the cleaning assembly 400 slides on the track, it can clean the entire height of the inner wall of the outer barrel, and along with the rotation of the inner barrel 100, it can clean the entire inner wall of the outer barrel, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0083] It should be noted that the track is closely arranged on the outer wall of the inner barrel 100, or, by setting a plurality of brackets extending toward the outer barrel on the inner barrel wall, the track is suspended at the end of the bracket. In this way, the distance between the cleaning unit 420 and the inner wall of the outer barrel is shortened, and the friction ability of the cleaning unit 420 against the inner wall of the outer barrel is reduced due to the long length of the soft cleaning unit 420, thereby reducing the cleaning effect.
[0084] It also includes a reinforcement member 240 fixed on the outer wall of the inner barrel 100. The extension length of the reinforcement member 240 is greater than or equal to the extension length of the track. The reinforcement member 240 is located on both sides of the track and has a fixing effect on the track.
[0085] The reinforcement 240 is integrally formed and at least partially located on the outside of the joint of the first slide rail 210, the second slide rail 220 and the third slide rail 230 in the radial direction of the inner barrel 100, which has a reinforcing effect on the strength of the entire track and prevents the resistance generated between the rotation of the inner barrel 100 and the water flow from affecting the service life of the track.
[0086] The system further comprises a control module connected to the cleaning assembly 400 to control the cleaning assembly 400 to slide back and forth within a preset height on the track.
[0087] The laundry processing device has a preset water level for laundry processing, and the preset height exceeds the preset water level by 10% to 20%.
[0088] Automatic control can be achieved by setting up a control module. The control module is used to control the cleaning component 400 to slide back and forth within a preset height, thereby increasing the number of cleaning times and improving the cleaning effect. In addition, the cleaning component 400 does not need to slide up and down within the entire height of the inner barrel 100 every time, which saves working time and improves work efficiency.
[0089] The preset water levels include a low water level, a middle water level and a high water level.
[0090] When the water level is low, the preset height exceeds the low water level by 10-15%, preferably by 10%.
[0091] When the water level is medium, the preset height exceeds the medium water level by 15-20%, preferably by 15%.
[0092] When the water level is high, the preset height exceeds the high water level by 15-20%, preferably by 20%.
[0093] Since the rotation of the inner barrel 100 causes water turbulence, the actual height that the water flow can reach is higher than the preset water level. Therefore, dirt will adhere to the inner wall of the outer barrel within a certain height exceeding the preset water level and needs to be cleaned. The more washing water there is, the higher the turbulence height of the water flow will be, and the height that needs to be cleaned will increase accordingly when it exceeds the preset water level.
[0094] The preset height is the height to which the top of the cleaning component 400 can slide. The present invention sets the preset height for the sliding of the cleaning component 400 to be 10% to 20% higher than the preset water level, and gradually increases the preset height as the water level increases, in order to increase the cleaning area of the cleaning component 400 on the inner wall of the outer barrel and improve the cleaning effect.
[0095] The control module controls the cleaning assembly 400 to slide reciprocally within a preset height when the laundry treating apparatus performs a washing / rinsing / draining procedure.
[0096] When the dehydration process is executed, the control module controls the limiting member to limit the cleaning assembly 400 on the first slide rail 210 .
[0097] During washing / rinsing / draining, since the inner barrel 100 rotates slowly, when the cleaning component 400 slides up and down, the inner wall of the outer barrel can be cleaned in real time to prevent dirt from adhering and ensure the cleaning effect, without causing damage to the cleaning component 400. However, during the dehydration process, since the inner barrel 100 rotates at a high speed, the sliding cleaning component 400 is easily damaged. Therefore, the cleaning component 400 is limited on the first slide rail 210 during dehydration, which can not only protect the cleaning component 400 but also facilitate subsequent disassembly.
[0098] In another embodiment, another cleaning program can also be set separately. After the clothing processing is completed or the clothing processing equipment has been used for a period of time, the cleaning program is executed separately to clean the inner wall of the outer barrel. At this time, the control module controls the cleaning component 400 to slide back and forth on the track. When the cleaning time reaches the preset time, the control module controls the limit member to limit the cleaning component 400 on the first slide rail 210.
[0099] The limiting member can not only play the role of installing the cleaning component 400 on the first slide rail 210 and then integrating it on the frame component, but also limit the cleaning component 400 on the first slide rail 210 when the cleaning component 400 slides on the track, and then remove it together with the frame assembly.
[0100] The position-limiting members are provided in a plurality, for example, they may be claw structures, when the cleaning assembly 400 is integrated on the first slide rail 210, the claws are in a closed state, fixing the cleaning assembly 400 on the first slide rail 210; when the cleaning assembly 400 needs to slide, the claws are in an open state, avoiding the sliding area of the cleaning assembly 400. It should be noted that the position-limiting members may also be other mechanisms having the above functions.
[0101] In another embodiment, a monitoring module connected to the control module is also included. The monitoring module monitors the sliding position of the cleaning component 400 on the track in real time and transmits the position information to the control module. The control module controls the cleaning component 400 to slide back and forth within a preset height according to the position information, and controls the limiting member to limit the cleaning component 400 on the first slide rail 210 after cleaning is completed.
[0102] In another embodiment, the control module includes a driving unit and a control unit. The control unit is a controller built into the clothing processing device and is connected to the cleaning component 400 and the limiting member via the driving unit.
[0103] The control unit receives a signal to start cleaning, sends a control instruction to the driving unit, and the driving unit drives the sliding member 410 to slide back and forth on the slide rail assembly 200 .
[0104] The driving unit may be a motor 500 , which is wirelessly connected to the control unit and the sliding member 410 .
[0105] The frame assembly is provided with a sealed chamber 320, which is located above the filter frame 310, and can accommodate the motor 500 inside to play a waterproof role and prevent the motor 500 from failing. The motor 500 can be powered by a button battery. Since the frame assembly is detachable, it is convenient to replace the button battery of the motor 500.
[0106] The side wall of the enclosed chamber 320 away from the inner barrel 100 is recessed toward the inner barrel 100. When the frame assembly is installed on the wall of the inner barrel 100, the enclosed chamber 320 fits against the inner wall of the inner barrel 100. Preferably, the enclosed chamber 320 and the inner wall of the inner barrel 100 have a smooth transition to prevent damage to clothes. Moreover, since the enclosed chamber 320 protrudes inwardly from the inner wall of the inner barrel 100, when the frame assembly is removed, the enclosed chamber 320 serves to facilitate taking. Similarly, the position for installing the filter 330 can also serve this purpose.
[0107] The driving unit and the sliding member 410 may also be connected wirelessly by electromagnetic power supply, etc., so as to realize the reciprocating sliding of the cleaning component 400 up and down.
[0108] Specific:
[0109] After putting clothes and detergent into the pulsator washing machine, select the corresponding washing program. When the water reaches the preset water level, the inner barrel 100 rotates to start washing. The control module simultaneously controls the sliding member 410 to carry the cleaning unit 420 to slide back and forth in the vertical direction on the track to clean the inner wall of the outer barrel. When sliding downward, the lower end of the cleaning unit 420 contacts the bottom end of the inner wall of the outer barrel, and when sliding upward, the upper end of the cleaning unit 420 slides to a preset height; during the washing, rinsing and draining processes, the cleaning component 400 always keeps sliding back and forth in the vertical direction, and the preset height changes with the preset water level; during the dehydration process, the cleaning component 400 is limited on the first slide rail 210 to facilitate subsequent removal with the frame component for replacement and cleaning.
[0110] Alternatively, the pulsator washing machine is provided with another cleaning program separately. After the laundry processing is completed or the pulsator washing machine has been used for a period of time, the cleaning program is executed separately to clean the inner wall of the outer drum. The start of the cleaning program can be manually controlled by the user or automatically controlled by the washing machine. When the cleaning time reaches the preset time, the cleaning program ends, and the control module controls the cleaning component 400 to be limited on the first slide rail 210.
[0111] It should be noted that when cleaning is completed, if the monitoring module detects that the sliding position of the cleaning component 400 is not on the first slide rail 210, the position information is transmitted to the control module. The control module controls the cleaning component 400 to slide up or down until it slides onto the first slide rail 210, and controls the limiting member to limit the cleaning component 400 on the first slide rail 210.
[0112] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modify the technical contents suggested above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the solution of the present invention.
