DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of the present application and should not be regarded as an improper limitation on the present application.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a clothes processing device, which includes a box, a driving mechanism, a pipe 3 and a drum assembly 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a barrel assembly 1. The barrel assembly 1 includes a barrel body 11 and a separator 12. The barrel body 11 includes a washing area 11a and a drainage area 11c connected in sequence along the axial direction of the barrel body 11. The separator 12 is arranged between the washing area 11a and the drainage area 11c. A water gap 1a is formed between at least part of the circumferential edge of the separator 12 and the inner side wall of the barrel body 11. The inner diameter of the drainage area 11c is larger than the inner diameter of the washing area 11a.

[0037] The clothes processing device of the embodiment of the present application can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer. For example, the clothes processing device is a drum washing machine, and the axis of the drum of the clothes processing device extends roughly in the horizontal direction, that is, the axis of the drum can be set horizontally or have a certain inclination angle. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The Z in represents.

[0038] For example, see Figure 2 The cylinder body comprises a cylinder body 11 and a rear cover 14. The rear cover 14 is connected to the cylinder body 11, one end of the cylinder body 11 is open, and the other end of the cylinder body 11 is capped by the rear cover 14.

[0039] For example, see Figure 2 The drum body further includes a front cover 15 , which is formed with a clothing loading port 15 a , and the front cover 15 is disposed on an open end of the drum body 11 .

[0040] The drum of the embodiment of the present application can hold water, that is, when the clothing processing device is in the process of washing clothes, the washing water is contained in the drum. The drum can also be called a non-porous drum, which can avoid the problem of easy accumulation of dirt and grime caused by holding water in an outer barrel in the prior art.

[0041] See also Figure 3 to Figure 4 The body 11 includes a washing area 11a and a drainage area 11c which are sequentially connected along the axial direction of the body 11.

[0042] For example, in some embodiments, see Figure 3 to Figure 4 The washing area 11a and the drainage area 11c are an integrated structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the washing area 11a and the drainage area 11c can also be a split structure.

[0043] See also Figure 3 to Figure 4 The space defined by the front cover 15, the side of the partition 12 facing away from the drainage area 11c, and the washing area 11a is the washing space 1b. The washing space 1b is mainly used to accommodate and wash clothes. One end of the washing space 1b is connected to the clothing inlet 15a, and the clothes to be washed can be put into the washing space 1b through the clothing inlet 15a.

[0044] See also Figure 3 to Figure 4 The space defined by the rear cover 14, the side of the partition 12 facing away from the washing area 11a, and the drainage area 11c is the drainage space 1c. After washing is completed, the washing liquid in the washing space 1b can be discharged through the drainage space 1c, and the liquid after the clothes are dehydrated can also be discharged through the drainage space 1c.

[0045] By setting the partition 12 between the washing area 11a and the drainage area 11c, that is, the washing space 1b and the drainage space 1c are respectively located on the opposite sides of the partition 12, that is, the partition 12 can be used to separate the clothes and the drainage member 13 in the drainage space 1c, so that the drainage member 13 set in the drainage area 11c can be prevented from wearing the clothes or the clothes can be prevented from damaging the drainage member 13.

[0046] See also Figure 4 The inner diameter of the drainage area 11c is larger than the inner diameter of the washing area 11a, that is, the inner diameter of the drum body 11 corresponding to the drainage area 11c is larger than the inner diameter of the drum body 11 corresponding to the washing area 11a. In this way, a step surface 11d can be formed between the drainage area 11c and the washing area 11a. After the drum assembly 1 stops rotating, the step surface 11d can be used to block the residual washing liquid from flowing back to the washing space 1b and wetting the clothes.

[0047] The inner diameter of the washing region 11a refers to the inner diameter of the washing region 11a.

[0048] The inner diameter of the drain area 11 c refers to the inner diameter of the drain area 11 c.

[0049] See also Figure 4 The circumferential direction of the partition 12 is spaced apart from at least a portion of the inner wall of the connecting area 11b to form a water gap 1a, so that the washing liquid in the washing space 1b can flow into the drainage space 1c through the water gap 1a.

[0050] The barrel assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a barrel body 11 and a partition 12. The barrel body 11 includes a washing area 11a and a drainage area 11c connected in sequence along the axial direction of the barrel body 11, and the space defined by the front cover 15, the side of the partition 12 away from the drainage area 11c, and the washing area 11a is the washing space 1b, and the space defined by the rear cover 14, the side of the partition 12 away from the washing area 11a, and the drainage area 11c is the drainage space 1c. By arranging the partition 12 between the washing area 11a and the drainage area 11c, that is, the washing space 1b and the drainage space 1c are respectively located on opposite sides of the partition 12, so that by arranging the partition 12 between the washing area 11a and the drainage area 11c, it is possible to avoid the drainage member 13 arranged in the drainage area 11c from wearing clothes or avoiding clothes from damaging the drainage member 13.

[0051] In the related art, after the washing and dehydration process is completed, there will be residual washing liquid in the drainage area, and after the drum assembly stops rotating, the residual washing liquid will flow back into the washing space and wet the dehydrated clothes.

[0052] The present application sets the inner diameter of the drainage area 11c to be larger than the inner diameter of the washing area 11a, so that a step surface 11d is formed between the drainage area 11c and the washing area 11a, thereby improving the situation where the residual washing liquid flows back into the washing space 1b and wets the clothes to be dried, thereby improving the dehydration effect, shortening the drying time, and enhancing the user experience.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 to Figure 4 The inner wall of the barrel 11 which forms a water gap with the partition 12 forms a step surface 11d.

[0054] Exemplarily, with reference to the axial direction of the barrel 11, the step surface 11d is at least partially inclined and / or at least partially vertically arranged.

[0055] The axial direction of the barrel 11 refers to the axial direction of the barrel 11 .

[0056] With reference to the axial direction of the barrel 11, the step surface 11d is at least partially inclined, that is, along the direction from the washing area 11a to the drainage area 11c, the step surface 11d is inclined radially outward.

[0057] Since the partition 12 is arranged between the drainage area 11c and the washing area 11a, and the inner diameter of the drainage area 11c is larger than the inner diameter of the washing area 11a, a step surface 11d is formed on the inner side wall of the barrel 11 that forms a water gap with the partition 12, and the step surface 11d is inclined radially outward along the direction from the washing area 11a to the drainage area 11c, that is, the step surface 11d faces the drainage area 11c, and the angle between the step surface 11d and the axis of the barrel is an acute angle. In this way, it is more conducive to the washing liquid in the washing area 11a to flow into the drainage area 11c along the inclined step surface 11d, that is, the step surface 11d plays a guiding role for the washing liquid flowing into the drainage area 11c. After the barrel assembly 1 stops rotating, due to the obstruction of the step surface 11d, the situation that the residual washing liquid will flow back to the washing space 1b and wet the clothes to be dried can be improved, thereby improving the dehydration effect, shortening the drying time, and improving the user's use experience.

[0058] Exemplarily, the outer periphery of the partition 12 is formed with an inclined surface adapted to the step surface 11d, which is helpful to improve the situation where the residual washing liquid will flow back into the washing space 1b and wet the dried clothes to a certain extent.

[0059] With reference to the axial direction of the tubular body 11, the step surface 11d is at least partially arranged vertically, that is, at least part of the inner side wall of the connecting area 11b forms the step surface 11d. In the direction from the washing area 11a to the drainage area 11c, the step surface 11d is perpendicular to the axial direction of the tubular body 11. The step surface 11d perpendicular to the axial direction of the tubular body 11 is conducive to improving the situation where the residual washing liquid will flow back to the washing space 1b and wet the clothes to be dried.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 to Figure 4 , the inner diameter of the drainage area 11c is D1, and the inner diameter of the washing area 11a is D2, wherein 4mm≤D1-D2≤60mm. D1-D2 is, for example, 4mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 19mm, 20mm, 24mm, 25mm, 26mm, 27mm, 28mm, 30mm, 34mm, 40mm, 46mm, 50mm, 55mm or 60mm, etc.

[0061] By setting 4 mm ≤ D1-D2 ≤ 60 mm, that is, the height difference between the inner side walls of the washing area 11a and the drainage area 11c is That is, 2mm-30mm. In this way, the step surface 11d formed by the height difference between the washing area 11a and the drainage area 11c can effectively block the backflow of washing liquid without affecting the volume of the washing area 11a and causing the outer dimensions of the barrel assembly 1 to be too large. That is to say, while improving the situation where the residual washing liquid will flow back to the washing space 1b and wet the clothes, the structure of the barrel assembly 1 can also be made compact.

[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 to Figure 4 , the inner diameter of the drainage area 11c is D1, and the inner diameter of the washing area 11a is D2, wherein 5mm≤D1-D2≤20mm. D1-D2 is, for example, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, 7.5mm, 8mm, 8.5mm, 9mm, 9.5mm, 10mm, 10.5mm, 11mm, 11.5mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm or 20mm, etc.

[0063] By setting 5 mm ≤ D1-D2 ≤ 20 mm, that is, the height difference between the inner side walls of the washing area 11a and the drainage area 11c is That is, 2.5mm-10mm. In this way, the step surface 11d formed by the height difference between the washing area 11a and the drainage area 11c can effectively block the backflow of washing liquid without affecting the volume of the washing area 11a and causing the outer dimensions of the barrel assembly 1 to be too large. That is to say, while improving the situation in which the residual washing liquid will flow back to the washing space 1b and wet the clothes, the structure of the barrel assembly 1 can be further made compact.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 7 The barrel assembly 1 further comprises a drainage member 13 having a water inlet 13b, a flow channel 13a and a water outlet 13c. At least a portion of the drainage member 13 is disposed in the drainage area 11c.

[0065] The flow channel 13a extends in the radial direction of the barrel 11. The water outlet 13c is located at one end of the flow channel 13a close to the central axis of the barrel 11. The water inlet 13b is located at one end of the flow channel 13a away from the central axis of the barrel 11, and is arranged opposite to the rotation direction of the barrel 11 during drainage. The barrel 11 rotates relative to the drainage member 13 so that the liquid in the drainage area 11c flows into the flow channel 13a through the water inlet 13b and is discharged from the barrel 11 through the water outlet 13c.

[0066] The water inlet 13b is arranged opposite to the rotation direction of the cylinder body 11 during drainage, which is conducive to the liquid in the drainage area 11c flowing into the flow channel 13a through the water inlet 13b.

[0067] The barrel assembly 1 further comprises a drainage member 13 having a water inlet 13b, a flow channel 13a and a water outlet 13c. The drainage member 13 is used to allow liquid in the drainage area 11c to flow into the flow channel 13a through the water inlet 13b and to be discharged from the barrel 11 through the water outlet 13c.

[0068] At least part of the drainage member 13 is disposed in the drainage area 11 c , the drainage member 13 may be entirely disposed in the drainage area 11 c , or part of the drainage member 13 may be disposed in the drainage area 11 c .

[0069] Specifically, see Figure 3 Since the axis of the cylinder body of the embodiment of the present application extends roughly in the horizontal direction, when the cylinder body is rotating, the drainage member 13 is fixed. By setting the water outlet 13c at the end of the flow channel 13a close to the central axis of the cylinder body 11, and setting the water inlet 13b at the end of the flow channel 13a away from the central axis of the cylinder body 11, during the rotation of the cylinder body, the washing liquid in the drainage area 11c can flow into the flow channel 13a through the water inlet 13b. The washing liquid entering the flow channel 13a will naturally flow to the lower part of the flow channel 13a under the action of gravity, and flow out of the cylinder body 11 through the water outlet 13c located at the lower part of the flow channel 13a.

[0070] During the rotation of the cylinder, the washing liquid in the drainage area 11c will flow radially outward from the cylinder to the edge of the cylinder under the action of centrifugal force and gravity. Therefore, the water inlet 13b is set at the end of the flow channel 13a away from the central axis of the cylinder body 11, that is, the water inlet 13b is set at a position relatively far from the axis of the cylinder body 11, which can facilitate the introduction of the washing liquid in the drainage area 11c into the flow channel 13a, and the water outlet 13c is set at the end of the flow channel 13a close to the central axis of the cylinder body 11, that is, the water outlet 13c is set at a position relatively close to the axis of the cylinder body 11, which can facilitate the discharge of the washing liquid in the flow channel 13a from the cylinder body 11.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 to Figure 4 , the distance between the drainage member 13 and the inner wall of the drainage area 11c is L, wherein,

[0072] It is understandable that the smaller the distance between the drain member 13 and the inner side wall of the drain area 11c, the more thoroughly the washing liquid in the drain area 11c can be drained. In other words, under the premise of ensuring that the drain member 13 does not interfere with the barrel assembly 1, the distance between the drain member 13 and the inner side wall of the drain area 11c can be reduced as much as possible.

[0073] By setting the distance between the drain member 13 and the inner wall of the drain area 11c to be less than or equal to During the drainage process, the thickness of the annular washing liquid remaining in the drainage area 11c along the radial direction can be less than or equal to The height difference between the inner wall of the washing area 11a and the inner wall of the drainage area 11c is In this way, the step surface 11d between the washing area 11a and the drainage area 11c can block the residual washing liquid in the drainage area 11c, that is, the situation in which the residual washing liquid flows back into the washing space 1b and wets the clothes can be effectively improved.

[0074] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The partition 12 includes a first partition 121 and a second partition 122. The first partition 121 is provided with an escape opening 121a. The second partition 122 is detachably connected to the escape opening 121a. The drainage member 13 can be disassembled and assembled through the escape opening 121a.

[0075] That is to say, by configuring the partition 12 to include a first partition 121 and a second partition 122, and providing an avoidance opening 121a in the first partition 121, the drain component 13 can be disassembled and assembled through the avoidance opening 121a, that is, the drain component 13 can be disassembled and assembled through the avoidance opening 121a. In this way, when the drain component 13 needs to be installed or repaired, it is only necessary to remove the second partition 122 and install or repair the drain component 13 through the avoidance opening 121a, thereby facilitating the installation or repair of the drain component 13.

[0076] The location and size of the avoidance opening 121a are not limited here, as long as the drainage member 13 can be disassembled and assembled through the avoidance opening 121a. For example, the center of the avoidance opening 121a roughly coincides with the center of the partition 12.

[0077] The specific manner in which the first partition 121 and the second partition 122 are detachably connected is not limited herein. For example, in some embodiments, the first partition 121 and the second partition 122 are fastened and connected by fasteners. In other embodiments, the first partition 121 and the second partition 122 can also be connected by snap-fitting.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The partition 12 is provided with a water hole 121b penetrating the partition 12, and the washing liquid in the washing area 11a can flow into the space in the drainage area 11c through the water hole 121b.

[0079] By providing the partition 12 with a water hole 121b that penetrates the partition 12, the washing liquid in the washing area 11a can flow into the space in the drainage area 11c through the water hole 121b during drainage. Of course, the washing liquid in the washing area 11a can also flow into the space in the drainage area 11c through the water gap 1a formed by the circumferential direction of the partition 12 and at least part of the inner side wall of the connecting area 11b. The drainage efficiency is further improved.

[0080] Specific types of washing liquid include, but are not limited to, liquid media and water for washing clothes.

[0081] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The water holes 121 b are distributed along the circumference of the partition 12 and at the edge of the partition 12 .

[0082] By distributing the water holes 121 b along the circumference of the partition 12 , the distribution range of the water holes 121 b can be increased, which is further beneficial to improving the drainage efficiency.

[0083] The circumference of the separator 12 may be provided with one circle of water holes 121 b or multiple circles of water holes 121 b , and the center of each circle of water holes 121 b is located on the same circumference with the center of the separator 12 as the center.

[0084] The water holes 121 b are distributed on the edge of the partition 12 . Exemplarily, the water holes 121 b are distributed on the first partition 121 and are arranged on the edge of the first partition 121 .

[0085] The connection method between the partition 12 and the barrel 11 is not limited here. For example, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 At least part of the inner side wall of the barrel 11 is provided with a positioning groove 11e, and at least part of the circumferential edge of the separator 12 is located in the positioning groove 11e to position the separator 12. The connection structure is simple and reliable, and prevents the separator 12 from moving along the axial direction of the barrel 11 to a certain extent.

[0086] The specific type of the positioning groove 11e is not limited here, for example, a plurality of positioning grooves 11e may be provided, and the plurality of positioning grooves 11e are spaced and distributed in the circumference of the inner side wall of the barrel 11. Alternatively, one positioning groove 11e may be provided, and the positioning groove 11e extends along the circumference of the inner side wall of the barrel 11.

[0087] The specific formation method of the positioning groove 11e is not limited here. In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 At least part of the inner wall of the barrel 11 protrudes radially inward and is provided with a first convex portion 11p and a second convex portion 11n arranged in the axial direction, and a positioning groove 11e is defined between the first convex portion 11p and the second convex portion 11n.

[0088] In this way, the separator 12 can be fixed by clamping both sides of the separator 12 along the axial direction into the positioning groove 11e defined between the first protrusion 11p and the second protrusion 11n.

[0089] Exemplarily, the first recess and the second recess may be formed by pressing the outer wall of the barrel 11 , so that a first protrusion 11 p corresponding to the first recess and a second protrusion 11 n corresponding to the second recess are formed on the inner wall of the barrel 11 .
