DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] 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.

[0046] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a lint filter according to the present invention comprises a shell 1 and a filter assembly 2.

[0048] The housing 1 has a receiving cavity 12 inside, and the housing 1 is provided with a water inlet connected to the receiving cavity 12 .

[0049] The filter assembly 2 is disposed on the housing 1 and communicated with the accommodating chamber 12 .

[0050] The existing lint filtering mechanism is usually arranged in the washing tub of the pulsator washing machine, installed on the inner wall of the washing tub, and is used to filter the lint generated during the washing process of clothes to keep the clothes clean. The pulsator washing machine with an outer barrel, that is, the washing machine has an outer barrel and a washing tub, the outer barrel is set outside the washing tub, and the bottom of the washing tub can be provided with a tumbling promotion structure to improve the lint collection rate.

[0051] The pulsator washing machine without an outer barrel includes a washing barrel and a water receiving base. The washing barrel has no holes, the base is relatively low, and part of the water receiving base is sleeved outside the bottom of the washing barrel to collect the water discharged from the washing barrel. Although a filtering mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the washing barrel, it can only filter the lint in the vicinity of the circumference of the washing barrel, and the lint filtering effect is poor and has no filtering effect on the mainstream center area.

[0052] The lint filter of the present invention further comprises a driving component 3 .

[0053] The driving assembly 3 is disposed in the accommodating chamber 12 , and is used to drive the water entering the accommodating chamber 12 to flow toward the filtering assembly 2 .

[0054] In the present invention, by setting the driving component 3, the driving component 3 can control the flow direction of the water flow in the lint filter when it is running. Even if the lint filter is inverted, it can drive the water flow in the accommodating chamber 12 to flow toward the filtering component 2, which is beneficial to enhancing the lint filtering effect; it can accelerate the flow of water, so that the water flow outside the water inlet is accelerated to enter the accommodating chamber 12, increasing the total water flow entering the lint filter and enhancing the filtering effect; the lint filter is more flexibly set up and can be placed in the washing tub together with the clothes. The lint filter will roll with the clothes and can filter the lint in various areas of the washing tub to avoid a large amount of lint adhering to the clothes, which is convenient for users to use.

[0055] Specifically, the shell 1 is spherical or elliptical, etc. Preferably, the shell 1 is spherical.

[0056] The housing 1 can be combined with other components to form the appearance of a lint filter. In the present invention, the housing 1 and the filter assembly 2 are combined to form the appearance of a lint filter, which is spherical as a whole.

[0057] The lint filter is set to be spherical, which can reduce the friction between the lint filter and the clothes, avoiding damage to the clothes; it is convenient to reduce the friction between the clothes, so that the clothes are not easily entangled.

[0058] Water flows into the accommodating chamber 12 from the water inlet, and the driving component 3 is running to control the flow direction of the water flow in the lint filter. Even if the lint filter is inverted, the driving component 3 can also drive the water flow entering the accommodating chamber 12 to flow toward the filter component 2, so that the water flow in the accommodating chamber 12 passes through the filter component 2 as much as possible, and the lint in the water passing through the filter component 2 is filtered out and temporarily stored in the accommodating chamber 12. The filtered water flows out of the filter component 2, re-enters the washing bucket, and then mixes with the lint flow into the lint filter. The lint filter continues to filter, and the lint filter can filter and collect the lint in the water flow in the center area of ​​the mainstream.

[0059] The operation of the driving component 3 accelerates the flow rate of water in the accommodating chamber 12, and can accelerate the water flow outside the water inlet into the accommodating chamber 12, thereby increasing the total water flow entering the accommodating chamber 12, and further increasing the total water flow flowing through the filter component 2, and the total water flow passing through the lint filter, thereby improving the filtering effect of the lint filter.

[0060] The accommodating cavity 12 is spherical.

[0061] The lint filter can be manually controlled or remotely controlled. Preferably, the lint filter is remotely controlled.

[0062] When washing clothes, the washing machine needs to first fill water for a period of time, and only after reaching the preset water level will the washing machine officially wash the clothes, and the clothes will tumble at this time. The lint filter is set to be remotely controlled, which is convenient for users to remotely control and can avoid the drive component 3 from working ineffectively before the water inlet is completed, causing waste.

[0063] The lint filter is processed and formed separately and does not need to be installed on the inner wall of the washing tub. When washing clothes, the lint filter and the clothes can be put into the washing tub together. The lint filter will roll with the clothes to filter the lint.

[0064] The density of the lint filter as a whole is similar to the density of water; preferably, the density of the lint filter is equal to the density of water.

[0065] The above arrangement can prevent the lint filter from floating on the water or sinking to the bottom of the water all the time, and the lint filter can roll along with the clothes to facilitate the collection of lint.

[0066] When the lint filter is working, the lint filter rolls together with the clothes, and water flows into the accommodating chamber 12 from the water inlet. The operation of the driving component 3 can control the flow direction of the water during the tumbling of the lint filter. Even if the lint filter continues to roll, the driving component 3 can drive the water entering the accommodating chamber 12 to flow toward the filtering component 2. The lint filter can filter and collect lint in the water flow in various areas of the washing tub.

[0067] Preferably, the outer surface of the housing 1 is made of an elastic material, which can reduce the impact between the lint filter and the inner wall of the washing tub, reduce damage to the lint filter, extend the service life of the lint filter, and facilitate use.

[0068] The water inlet and the filter assembly 2 are respectively arranged at two opposite ends of the housing 1 .

[0069] The driving assembly 3 is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 1 , and the driving assembly 3 includes a rotatable impeller 33 disposed opposite to the filtering assembly 2 .

[0070] In the present invention, the water inlet and the filter assembly 2 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the housing 1, which reduces the distance between the water inlet and the filter assembly 2, and facilitates the water flow in the water inlet to quickly flow to the filter assembly 2. The impeller 33 is arranged relative to the filter assembly 2, and the operation of the impeller 33 can drive the water flow to the filter assembly 2.

[0071] Specifically, the water inlet and the filter assembly 2 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the accommodating chamber 12. The opposite ends of the accommodating chamber 12 correspond to opposite ends of the housing 1. The driving assembly 3 is connected to the inner wall of one end of the accommodating chamber 12, and the filter assembly 2 is connected to the inner wall of the other end of the accommodating chamber 12.

[0072] The impeller 33 includes a fixed sleeve and a plurality of blades, and the plurality of blades are circumferentially arranged on the fixed sleeve.

[0073] The impeller 33 is arranged relative to the filter assembly 2, that is, the fixed sleeve is arranged opposite to the filter assembly 2. The impeller 33 rotates to control the flow direction of the water so that the water flows toward the filter assembly 2.

[0074] A flow guiding structure may be provided between the water inlet and the filter assembly 2. The specific shape and structure of the flow guiding structure is not limited and may be provided according to actual needs, and may guide the water flow to the filter assembly 2.

[0075] In one embodiment of the present invention, a guide plate is provided in the accommodating chamber 12 , and is disposed between the water inlet and the filter assembly 2 , so as to guide water to flow toward the filter assembly 2 .

[0076] Specifically, the guide structure is the guide plate, which is one or more plate-shaped structures. After the guide plate is disposed in the accommodating cavity 12 , the inner diameter of the accommodating cavity 12 decreases from the water inlet to the filter assembly 2 .

[0077] Another embodiment of the present invention is that a flow guide sleeve 11 is provided in the accommodating cavity 12 and is disposed between the filter assembly 2 and the water inlet in the housing 1 .

[0078] The guide sleeve 11 is open at both ends, and one end is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 12 at the periphery of the filter assembly 2. The inner diameter of the guide sleeve 11 increases from one end to the other end.

[0079] In the present invention, by setting a guide sleeve 11, the inner diameter of the guide sleeve 11 increases from one end to the other end, and the two ends are respectively set corresponding to the water inlet and the filter component 2, which can play a role in guiding flow, is conducive to realizing the unidirectional flow of water and is conducive to accelerating the flow of water.

[0080] Specifically, the flow guiding structure is the flow guiding sleeve 11. The flow guiding sleeve 11 is disposed between the filter assembly 2 and the water inlet in the housing 1, and one end of the flow guiding sleeve 11 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 12 on the periphery of the filter assembly 2.

[0081] The inner diameters at both ends of the guide sleeve 11 are different, and the end with the smaller inner diameter is set corresponding to the filter assembly 2, and the other end with the larger inner diameter is set corresponding to the water inlet. The guide sleeve 11 plays a guiding role between the water inlet and the filter assembly 2, allowing the water flow to flow directly to the filter assembly 2 along the guide sleeve 11, which is conducive to achieving unidirectional flow of water; it is conducive to reducing the flow distance of the water flow and reducing the energy loss during the flow of water. The inner diameters at both ends of the guide sleeve 11 are different, which can also play a role in gathering water and making the water flow to the filter assembly 2; and the reduction of the inner diameter can increase the flow rate of the water flow, allowing the water flow to quickly flow through the filter assembly 2, thereby enhancing the filtering effect.

[0082] The guide sleeve 11 in the present invention may be a cylindrical structure such as a round cylinder or a square cylinder.

[0083] The center line of the guide sleeve 11 does not completely coincide with or overlap with the axis of the housing 1 .

[0084] Preferably, the center line of the guide sleeve 11 coincides with the axis of the housing 1 .

[0085] Preferably, the guide sleeve 11 is provided in an arc-shaped protrusion along the inner wall of the outer shell 1 extending axially.

[0086] The driving assembly 3 is arranged on the inner wall of one end of the outer shell 1 where the water inlet is located, and is arranged opposite to the filter assembly 2. The other end of the guide sleeve 11 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 12 on the outer periphery of the driving assembly 3, and the impeller 33 extends into the guide sleeve 11.

[0087] The water inlet is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 12 between the driving assembly 3 and the guide sleeve 11 .

[0088] Specifically, the driving component 3 is arranged opposite to the filtering component 2, the water inlet is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 12 between the driving component 3 and the guide sleeve 11, and the guide sleeve 11 is open at both ends, so that the water flow in the water inlet can directly enter the guide sleeve 11.

[0089] The operation of the impeller 33 drives the water flow. Since the impeller 33 extends into the guide sleeve 11, the driven water flow can flow directly along the guide sleeve 11, thereby reducing the number of times the water flow changes direction during the flow, reducing the energy loss during the flow direction change, avoiding excessive reduction in the water flow velocity, facilitating the rapid passage of the water flow, and thereby enhancing the filtration efficiency.

[0090] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the guide sleeve 11 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 12 form a closed cavity 13 .

[0091] In the present invention, a closed cavity 13 is formed between the outer wall of the guide sleeve 11 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 12. The cavity 13 can increase the buoyancy of the lint filter, prevent the lint filter from sinking directly to the bottom of the water due to excessive weight, and facilitate the lint filter to roll with the clothes.

[0092] The cavity 13 can be configured as one or more cavities, which are reasonably distributed inside the lint filter.

[0093] like Figure 3 As shown, the driving assembly 3 also includes an electric control box 31 and a motor 32 .

[0094] The electric control box 31 is sealed and disposed on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 12 .

[0095] The motor 32 is disposed in the electric control box 31 . The motor 32 is connected to a drive shaft 321 . One end of the drive shaft 321 is dynamically sealed and passes through the outside of the electric control box 31 and is connected to the impeller 33 .

[0096] Specifically, the electric control box 31 has a chamber inside, the motor 32 is arranged in the chamber, and the electric control box 31 is sealed. Figure 3 As shown, the motor 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chamber. A vibration reduction structure is provided between the motor 32 and the electric control box 31. Because the lint filter is always rolling with the clothes, it is easy to vibrate. The vibration reduction structure can play a role in buffering and reducing vibration, avoiding the motor 32 from shaking and damaging the motor 32, and can extend the service life of the motor 32, making it easy to use. The vibration reduction structure can be set as a spring.

[0097] The impeller 33 is disposed outside the electric control box 31 .

[0098] The electric control box 31 is cylindrical, which is beneficial to reducing water flow resistance and facilitating water flow compared to the current square structure.

[0099] There are multiple water inlets, which are arranged at intervals and arranged in a circumferential array on the housing 1. The water inlet can be arranged in a circular, square or triangular shape, etc. Preferably, the water inlet is circular.

[0100] The water inlet is tilted, and the extension line of the center line of the water inlet is located below the electric control box 31. After the water flows in from the water inlet, it will not collide with the electric control box 31, which is beneficial to reduce the energy loss during the water flow and facilitate the water flow.

[0101] like Figure 3As shown, the driving shaft 321 and the guide sleeve 11 are coaxially arranged, and the impeller 33 is arranged close to the filter assembly 2.

[0102] Specifically, the driving shaft 321 and the guide sleeve 11 are coaxially arranged, and the impeller 33 is coaxial with the guide sleeve 11, and the impeller 33 runs to drive the water flow along the guide sleeve 11. The impeller 33 is arranged close to the filter assembly 2, so that when the impeller 33 rotates, it drives the water flow directly to the filter assembly 2.

[0103] The other end of the guide sleeve 11 extends toward the electric control box 31 and is disposed beyond the center of the housing 1 .

[0104] The electric control box 31 extends along the center line of the guide sleeve 11 and is arranged at a certain distance from the other end of the guide sleeve 11 . The projection of the electric control box 31 in the direction of the center line of the guide sleeve 11 is located inside the guide sleeve 11 .

[0105] Specifically, the water inlet is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 12 between the electric control box 31 and the guide sleeve 11, so that the water inlet can be inclined to inlet water and the water flow directly flows into the guide sleeve 11. The other end of the guide sleeve 11 extends toward the electric control box 31, beyond the central setting of the housing 1, that is, the other end of the guide sleeve 11 extends outside the hemisphere where one end of the guide sleeve 11 is located, beyond the central setting of the housing 1. At this time, the water guiding effect between the multiple water inlets, the guide sleeve 11 and the filter assembly 2 is the best, and the water flow is smoother.

[0106] The electric control box 31 extends along the center line of the guide sleeve 11 and is arranged outside the guide sleeve 11. There is a distance between the lower end of the electric control box 31 and the guide sleeve 11. After entering from the water inlet, the water flows into the guide sleeve 11, reducing the impact of the water flow and the electric control box 31. The projection of the electric control box 31 in the direction of the center line of the guide sleeve 11 is located in the guide sleeve 11. Preferably, the projection is located in the small end of the guide sleeve 11, which can control the lateral extension length of the electric control box 31, facilitate the water flow to flow into the guide sleeve 11, and reduce the impact of the water flow and the electric control box 31.

[0107] Preferably, the filter assembly 2 is detachably disposed on the housing 1 .

[0108] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the filter assembly 2 includes a bottom cover 21 and a filter screen 22;

[0109] The outer shell 1 is provided with an opening, and the bottom cover shell 21 is detachably arranged on the opening. The bottom cover shell 21 is provided with a plurality of water outlets, and the inner diameter of the water outlets is smaller than the inner diameter of the water inlet. The filter screen 22 is arranged on the inner wall of the bottom cover shell 21.

[0110] Specifically, the filter net 22 can play the role of filtering lint once, and the inner diameter of the water outlet is smaller than the inner diameter of the water inlet, so it can play the role of filtering lint twice. The two filtrations can effectively filter lint in the water.

[0111] A plurality of water outlets are arranged in an array on the bottom cover 21. Preferably, the cross section of the bottom cover 21 is circular, and the filter 22 is a circular mesh structure. The filter 22 is arranged in a circular shape corresponding to the bottom cover 21, so as to reduce the gap at the connection between the two.

[0112] After the lint filter filters the lint in the water, the lint is collected in the accommodating chamber 12. The filter assembly 2 is detachably arranged so that the filter assembly 2 can be removed, which is conducive to timely cleaning of the lint in the accommodating chamber 12. The detachable arrangement of the filter assembly 2 can be arranged in a variety of ways, such as threaded connection, snap connection, etc.

[0113] Preferably, the filter screen 22 is detachably connected to the bottom cover shell 21, so that the filter screen 22 and the bottom cover shell 21 can be separated, which is convenient for cleaning the filter screen 22 and the bottom cover shell 21 to avoid failure in filtering; and it is also beneficial for cleaning the wire scraps between the filter screen 22 and the bottom cover shell 21 to avoid blockage between the filter screen 22 and the bottom cover shell 21 and inability to discharge water.

[0114] The present invention also provides a washing machine having any of the above-mentioned lint filters, comprising the washing tub, wherein the lint filter is placed in the washing tub or arranged on the inner wall of the washing tub.

[0115] Specifically, when in use, multiple lint filters can be used together, which is beneficial to improving the filtering efficiency.

[0116] The lint filter has multiple implementations, one of which is that the lint filter is formed separately and is separated from the washing tub. It does not need to be installed on the inner wall of the washing tub. During washing, the lint filter is placed in the washing tub together with the clothes. The lint filter tumbles with the clothes, and the lint filter can filter lint in various areas of the washing tub during the tumbling process.

[0117] In another embodiment, the lint filter is installed on the inner wall of the washing tub. The outer shell 1 except the water inlet and the filter assembly 2 is connected to the inner wall of the washing tub to filter the water flow in the vicinity of the inner wall of the washing tub.

[0118] The above description 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 modifications to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes by using the technical content suggested above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
