DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] 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.

[0038] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a clothes processing device on one hand. The clothes processing device includes a box (not shown), a driving member (not shown) and a drum assembly 10 provided in any embodiment of the present application.

[0040] The type of the clothes processing device is not limited. For example, it can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer. Exemplarily, the clothes processing device is a drum washing machine.

[0041] The clothes treating device can perform at least one of the functions of washing and dehydrating clothes.

[0042] The box body can be understood as the appearance frame part of the clothes processing device, and at least part of the barrel assembly 10 is arranged in the box body. In other words, the box body can provide an installation base for the barrel assembly 10.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, another aspect of the present application embodiment provides a barrel assembly. The barrel assembly 10 includes a support unit 11, a transmission member 14, a barrel 12 and a flow guide unit 13.

[0044] The drum 12 has a laundry processing chamber 12a in which laundry can be placed and washed or dehydrated.

[0045] The specific structure of the drum body 12 is not limited. Exemplarily, the drum body 12 includes a drum body and a rear cover, and the rear cover is arranged at one end of the drum body, and the two define a clothes processing chamber 12a. It can be understood that in this embodiment, one side of the clothes processing chamber 12a is open.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the drum 12 may also include a front cover, which is formed with a clothing loading port, and the front cover is arranged on the open side of the clothing processing chamber 12a. The user can put clothing into the clothing processing chamber 12a or take clothing out of the clothing processing chamber 12a through the clothing loading port.

[0047] The barrel 12 is rotatably supported on the support unit 11 through the transmission member 14. That is, the barrel 12 can rotate relative to the support unit 11.

[0048] Specifically, the drum 12 can rotate around its axis under the action of external force, thereby driving the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 12a to rotate along, thereby improving the effects of the washing and dehydration functions of the clothes processing equipment.

[0049] The specific manner in which the cylinder 12 is rotatably supported on the support unit 11 by the transmission member 14 is not limited. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cylinder assembly 10 includes a first bearing 15, the inner ring of the first bearing 15 is sleeved on the transmission member 14, the outer ring of the first bearing 15 is arranged on the support unit 11, and the cylinder 12 is sleeved on one end of the transmission member 14. The transmission member 14 can rotate relative to the support unit 11 under the action of external force, and drive the cylinder 12 to rotate. At the same time, the support unit 11 can also support the cylinder 12 through the transmission member 14.

[0050] The transmission member 14 is drivingly connected to the driving member. The driving member can provide a driving force to drive the transmission member 14 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating member synchronously drives the cylinder 12 to rotate.

[0051] The type of the driving member is not limited, for example, it can be various types of motors.

[0052] The type of the transmission member 14 is not limited. For example, it can be a rotating shaft.

[0053] The guide unit 13 has a drainage channel 13a. After washing the clothes, the washing water can be discharged from the drum 12 through the drainage channel 13a.

[0054] It is understandable that the drum assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present application is drained through the diversion unit 13, that is, the drum 12 can hold water. In other words, when the clothes processing device is in the process of washing clothes, the washing water is contained in the drum 12, and the drum 12 can also be called a non-porous drum, which can avoid the problem of easy dirt and grime accumulation caused by holding water in an outer barrel in the prior art.

[0055] The guide unit 13 is fixedly connected to the support unit 11, and the transmission member 14 is provided with a first installation channel 14a along its axial direction. One end of the drainage channel 13a is connected to the clothing processing chamber 12a, and the other end passes through the first installation channel 14a and is connected to the outside.

[0056] That is to say, the air guide unit 13 is disposed in the first installation passage 14a, one end of the air guide unit 13 is disposed in the clothing processing chamber 12a, and the other end thereof passes through the first installation passage 14a.

[0057] When the laundry processing device needs to be drained, the washing water flows from the laundry processing chamber 12a into the drainage channel 13a and flows along the axial direction of the first installation channel 14a (ie, the axial direction of the transmission member 14), thereby being discharged from the laundry processing chamber 12a.

[0058] By setting a first installation channel 14a that penetrates the transmission member 14 along its axial direction, the drainage channel 13a can be arranged along the first installation channel 14a, and the guide unit 13 does not need to bypass the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder 12 and the support unit 11 to achieve fixed connection with the support unit 11. In this way, the arrangement distance of the drainage channel 13a can be shortened as much as possible, reducing the complexity of the drainage channel 13a, making the structure of the cylinder assembly 10 simpler. At the same time, the first installation channel 14a provides a layout space for the guide unit 13, which facilitates the layout of the guide unit 13 and makes the structure of the cylinder assembly 10 more compact.

[0059] In addition, the drainage channel 13a is arranged along the axial direction of the transmission member 14, so the drainage channel 13a can be designed to be straighter, which can reduce the drainage resistance and shorten the drainage distance to a certain extent, and improve the drainage effect of the drainage channel 13a.

[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide unit 13 further has a water inlet channel 13b, which is disposed in the first installation channel 14a and has two ends respectively connected to the clothing processing chamber 12a and the outside.

[0061] The external water source can enter the clothes processing chamber 12a through the water inlet channel 13b, so that the clothes processing device can wash the clothes conveniently.

[0062] The water inlet channel 13b and the drainage channel 13a are independent of each other. That is, on the guide unit 13, the water inlet channel 13b and the drainage channel 13a are not connected to each other, that is, the liquid entering the drainage channel 13a will not flow into the water inlet channel 13b, and the liquid entering the water inlet channel 13b will not flow into the drainage channel 13a.

[0063] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the guide unit 13 integrates the water inlet channel 13b and the drainage channel 13a, thereby improving the structural compactness of the cylinder assembly 10. At the same time, during the assembly of the cylinder assembly 10, the assemblers do not need to separately assemble the parts of the water inlet system and the parts of the drainage system, but only need to complete the installation of the guide unit 13. In this way, the assembly efficiency of the cylinder assembly 10 is improved.

[0064] In some embodiments, the guide unit 13 also has an air flow channel (not shown) for detecting the water level in the clothing processing chamber 12a. The air flow channel is arranged in the first installation channel 14a and its two ends are respectively connected to the detection chamber (not shown) of the barrel 12 and the outside.

[0065] The specific method of detecting the water level in the laundry processing chamber 12a through the air flow channel is as follows:

[0066] The detection chamber collects gas in the clothing processing chamber 12a. When water is injected into the clothing processing chamber 12a, more gas in the clothing processing chamber 12a enters the detection chamber, while the volume of the detection chamber is certain. The gas inside the detection chamber is compressed as the amount of water increases. The compressed gas is conducted through the air flow channel to the component for detecting the air pressure, and the gas pressure is analyzed to simulate and calculate the water level in the clothing processing chamber 12a.

[0067] The airflow channel and the drainage channel 13a are independent of each other. That is, on the guide unit 13, the airflow channel and the drainage channel 13a are not connected to each other, that is, the gas in the airflow channel will not enter the drainage channel 13a, and the liquid in the drainage channel 13a will not enter the airflow channel.

[0068] It should be noted that when the guide unit 13 is further provided with a water inlet channel 13b, the water inlet channel 13b, the drainage channel 13a and the air flow channel are all independent of each other.

[0069] The air flow channel and the drainage channel 13a are integrated on the guide unit 13, which improves the integration of the barrel assembly 10, while reducing the number of parts of the barrel assembly 10, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0070] The specific structure of the flow guiding unit 13 is not shown. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide unit 13 includes a first guide member 131 and a second guide member 132, at least a portion of the first guide member 131 is arranged in the clothing processing chamber 12a, and the second guide member 132 is passed through the first installation channel 14a and the two ends are fixedly connected to the first guide member 131 and the support unit 11 respectively.

[0071] It should be noted that the first flow guide 131 and the second flow guide 132 may be an integrated design or may be two separate components.

[0072] The first flow guide member 131 is installed in the laundry processing chamber 12 a through the second flow guide member 132 , that is, there is no connection relationship between the first flow guide member 131 and the drum body 12 .

[0073] The first flow guide 131 is provided with a water collecting chamber 131a connected with the clothing processing chamber 12a, and the second flow guide 132 is provided with a first water flow channel 1321a extending along its axial direction, and both ends of the first water flow channel 1321a are respectively connected with the water collecting chamber 131a and the outside, and the first water flow channel 1321a and the water collecting chamber 131a together constitute a drainage channel 13a.

[0074] Washing water may enter the water collecting chamber 131a, and enter the first water passing channel 1321a through the water collecting chamber 131a, and then be discharged through the first water passing channel 1321a.

[0075] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the structure of the first flow guide 131 is located outside the first installation channel 14a. This portion of the structure of the first flow guide 131 will not be constrained by the first installation channel 14a and can have a larger size in the clothing processing chamber 12a. In this way, the washing water in the clothing processing chamber 12a can be better collected, thereby improving the drainage efficiency of the guide unit 13.

[0076] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the drum 12 and the first flow guide 131 rotate relative to each other so that the liquid in the clothing processing chamber 12a flows into the water collecting chamber 131a and is discharged from the drum 12 through the first water passage 1321a.

[0077] During the process of discharging the washing water, the drum 12 rotates and the first flow guide 131 is relatively stationary.

[0078] Exemplarily, by setting the connecting position between the water collecting chamber 131a and the clothing processing chamber 12a at the top of the drum 12, during the washing process of the clothes, the rotation speed of the drum 12 is relatively low, and most of the washing water is located at the bottom of the drum 12. Therefore, the washing water basically does not enter the water collecting chamber 131a. When the washing water needs to be discharged, the drum 12 can be rotated at a relatively high speed, so that the washing water is thrown to the top of the drum 12 under the action of centrifugal force, and then can enter the water collecting chamber 131a and be discharged to the outside through the first water passage 1321a.

[0079] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the water collecting chamber 131a extends radially along the barrel 12, and the first flow guide member 131 is provided with a water inlet connected to the water collecting chamber 131a on the side radially away from the center of the barrel 12, and the barrel 12 and the first flow guide member 131 are relatively rotated so that the liquid in the clothing processing chamber 12a flows into the water collecting chamber 131a through the water inlet.

[0080] It is understandable that the water inlet is located at the top of the clothing processing chamber 12a, so that the washing water flows into the first water passage 1321a through the water collecting chamber 131a under the action of gravity and is discharged through the first water passage 1321a.

[0081] When the washing water needs to be discharged, the cylinder 12 can be rotated at a relatively high speed, and the washing water is thrown to the top of the cylinder 12 under the action of centrifugal force, so that it can flow into the water collecting chamber 131a through the water inlet.

[0082] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the first flow guide 131 is provided with a water outlet 131b connected to the clothing processing chamber 12a, and the second flow guide 132 is provided with a second water passage 1321b extending along its axial direction, and both ends of the second water passage 1321b are respectively connected to the water outlet 131b and the outside, and the second water passage 1321b and the water outlet 131b together constitute a water inlet channel 13b.

[0083] When water needs to be supplied to the clothes processing chamber 12a, the external water source can flow into the clothes processing chamber 12a through the second water passage 1321b and the water outlet 131b in sequence.

[0084] After the second flow guide 132 is connected to the first flow guide 131, the second water passage 1321b may be blocked by the first flow guide 131. Therefore, a water outlet 131b connected to the clothing processing chamber 12a is opened on the first flow guide 131, so that the second water passage 1321b can be connected to the clothing processing chamber 12a through the water outlet 131b.

[0085] Of course, in some other embodiments, the water outlet 131b may not be provided on the first guide member 131. In this embodiment, after the first guide member 131 is connected to the second guide member 132, attention needs to be paid to the connection position of the first guide member 131 on the second guide member 132 to avoid blocking the second water passage 1321b after the first guide member 131 is connected to this connection position.

[0086] It is understandable that when the first flow guide 131 does not have the water outlet 131b, the second water passage 1321b is the water inlet channel 13b.

[0087] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first flow guide 131 is provided with an air outlet (not shown) connected to the clothing processing chamber 12a, and the second flow guide 132 is provided with an air flow channel 1321c extending along its axial direction, and the two ends of the air flow channel 1321c are respectively connected to the air outlet and the outside, and the air flow channel 1321c and the air outlet together constitute an air flow channel, which is used to detect the water level in the clothing processing chamber 12a.

[0088] Here, the design can refer to the water inlet 131b and the second water passage 1321b, and its technical effect is similar to that of the water inlet 131b and the second water passage 1321b. This application will not repeat them here.

[0089] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the second flow guide member 132 includes a water pipe 1321 having a first water flow channel 1321a and a hollow shaft 1322 having a second installation channel 1322a. The hollow shaft 1322 is passed through the first installation channel 14a and one end is connected to the first flow guide member 131, and the other end is engaged with the support unit 11 for rotation prevention. The water pipe 1321 is arranged in the second installation channel 1322a, and the two ends of the water pipe 1321 are respectively connected to the first flow guide member 131 and the support unit 11.

[0090] It should be noted that when the second flow guide 132 has the air flow channel 1321 c and the second water flow channel 1321 b , the air flow channel 1321 c and the second water flow channel 1321 b are respectively extended along the axial direction of the water guide pipe 1321 and are arranged on the water guide pipe 1321 .

[0091] It is understandable that the transmission member 14 will not drive the hollow shaft 1322 to rotate during the rotation process. Figure 3 As shown, the cylinder assembly 10 also includes a second bearing 16, the inner ring of the second bearing 16 is sleeved on the hollow shaft 1322, and the outer ring of the second bearing 16 is supported on the peripheral wall of the first mounting channel 14a of the transmission member 14, so that the transmission member 14 can rotate around its axial direction, and the hollow shaft 1322 can maintain a relatively static state. At the same time, the hollow shaft 1322 and the transmission member 14 can form mutual support.

[0092] The number of the second bearings 16 is not limited. Figure 3 As shown, there are two second bearings 16, one of which is arranged at one end close to the cylinder 12, and the other is arranged at one end away from the cylinder 12. By arranging the second bearings 16 at both ends of the hollow shaft 1322, the supporting effect of the hollow shaft 1322 is better.

[0093] There is a certain gap between the peripheral wall of the hollow shaft 1322 and the peripheral wall of the first mounting channel 14a. The outer ring of the second bearing 16 rotates with the transmission member 14, and the inner ring of the second bearing 16 does not rotate, thereby being able to support the hollow shaft 1322. In this way, mutual support between the rotating transmission member 14 and the non-rotating hollow shaft 1322 is achieved.

[0094] The hollow shaft 1322 is relatively stationary, so that the water pipe 1321 can be directly placed in the second installation channel 1322a.

[0095] It is understandable that impurities such as lint may be generated during the washing process of clothes. During the drainage process, these impurities may enter the first water channel 1321a and block the first water channel 1321a. The water pipe 1321 can be relatively easily pulled out from the second installation channel 1322a, making it easier to repair and handle the first water channel 1321a when it is blocked.

[0096] In some embodiments, the hollow shaft 1322 is anti-rotationally matched with the support unit 11. The other end of the hollow shaft 1322 is connected to the first flow guide 131, so that the risk of the first flow guide 131 rotating inside the clothing processing chamber 12a can be reduced, and the anti-rotation cooperation and the fixed connection work in coordination, which can further improve the connection stability of the flow guide unit 13.

[0097] The specific structure of the hollow shaft 1322 and the support unit 11 is not limited. Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, an external spline 1322b is provided on the hollow shaft 1322, the support unit 11 has a connecting through hole 11a, an internal spline 112b is provided on the inner wall of the connecting through hole 11a, at least a portion of the hollow shaft 1322 is provided in the connecting through hole 11a, and the external spline 1322b is engaged with the internal spline 112b to prevent rotation.

[0098] It can be understood that at least a portion of the transmission member 14 is also arranged in the connecting through hole 11a, and one end of the transmission member 14 will not completely exceed the connecting through hole 11a, that is, there is an idle space in the connecting through hole 11a, one end of the hollow shaft 1322 passes through the first installation channel 14a and enters this idle space, and the internal spline 112b of the connecting through hole 11a is arranged on the peripheral wall of this idle space, and the part of the hollow shaft 1322 passing through the first installation channel 14a is provided with an external spline 1322b, and the tooth portion of the external spline 1322b and the tooth portion of the internal spline 112b are engaged with each other, thereby limiting the rotation between the two.

[0099] In some other embodiments, protrusions and grooves may be respectively provided on the outer peripheral wall of the hollow shaft 1322 and the hole wall of the connecting through hole 11a, and the protrusions may be inserted into the grooves, thereby also achieving anti-rotation fit.

[0100] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the support unit 11 includes a support member 111 and a fixing member 112, the fixing member 112 is provided with a mounting hole 112a, an internal spline 112b is provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 112a, and the mounting hole 112a is a part of the connecting through hole 11a.

[0101] In this embodiment, the transmission member 14 is rotatably supported on the support member 111, the cylinder 12 and the fixing member 112 are respectively located on opposite sides of the support member 111, and the hollow shaft 1322 passes through the support member 111 to achieve anti-rotation cooperation with the fixing member 112, and the water pipe 1321 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing member 112 away from the support member 111.

[0102] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, one end of the water guide pipe 1321 away from the first flow guide member 131 protrudes along the radial direction of the water guide pipe 1321 to form a connecting portion 1321 d, and the connecting portion 1321 d is fixedly connected to the support unit 11 .

[0103] That is to say, the hollow shaft 1322 plays the role of supporting the water pipe 1321 in the first installation channel 14a. The water pipe 1321 is fixedly connected to the support unit 11. When the water pipe 1321 needs to be pulled out from the second installation channel 1322a of the hollow shaft 1322, the connection between the connecting part 1321d and the support unit 11 can be released, so that the water pipe 1321 can be pulled out along the axial direction of the second installation channel 1322a.

[0104] Specifically, when the supporting unit 11 includes the supporting member 111 and the fixing member 112 , the connecting portion 1321 d is fixedly connected to the fixing member 112 .

[0105] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a connecting groove 131c is provided on the first flow guide 131, and one end of the hollow shaft 1322 close to the first flow guide 131 is provided in the connecting groove 131c. At least one connecting port 131d is opened on the groove wall of the connecting groove 131c, and the first water passage 1321a is connected with the water collecting chamber 131a through one of the connecting ports 131d.

[0106] That is to say, the first flow guide member 131 is connected to the hollow shaft 1322. Since the hardness of the hollow shaft 1322 is better than that of the water pipe 1321, the first flow guide member 131 is connected to the hollow shaft 1322, and the hollow shaft 1322 supports the first flow guide member 131, so that the bearing effect of the first flow guide member 131 is better.

[0107] The connecting groove 131 c can provide an installation space for the hollow shaft 1322 , thereby facilitating the connection relationship between the first flow guide 131 and the hollow shaft 1322 .

[0108] Since the water pipe 1321 is arranged inside the hollow shaft 1322, the water pipe 1321 will be located in the connecting groove 131c after passing through the hollow shaft 1322. The connecting port 131d in the connecting groove 131c can easily realize the connection relationship between the water collecting chamber 131a and the first water passage 1321a.

[0109] It can be understood that the air flow channel 1321c used to connect the water pipe 1321 and the connecting port 131d of the clothing processing chamber 12a is the aforementioned air outlet, and the second water flow channel 1321b used to connect the water pipe 1321 and the connecting port 131d of the clothing processing chamber 12a is the aforementioned water outlet 131b.

[0110] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the water pipe 1321 includes a tube body 13211 and a partition 13212, and the partition 13212 is arranged in the tube body 13211 to separate and form at least two independent sub-channels, at least one sub-channel is a first water passage 1321a, and other sub-channels except the first water passage 1321a are second water passages 1321b or air flow channels 1321c.

[0111] There is no limitation on the specific shape of the separator 13212. For example, in some embodiments, the number of sub-channels is two, and the cross section of the separator 13212 along the radial direction of the tube body 13211 can be in the shape of a straight line, or in various shapes such as a curve.

[0112] That is, in this embodiment, the number of sub-channels is two, one of which is used as the first water passage 1321a, and the other sub-channel can be used as the second water passage 1321b, or can also be used as the air flow channel 1321c.

[0113] For example, in some other embodiments, the number of sub-channels is 3, and the cross-section of the partition 13212 along the radial direction of the tube body 13211 can be similar to a "T" shape, so that the interior of the tube body 13211 is divided into three independent spaces.

[0114] That is to say, in this embodiment, the number of sub-channels is three, and the three sub-channels can be used as the first water passage 1321a, the second water passage 1321b and the air flow channel 1321c respectively, that is, the three sub-channels correspond one-to-one to the first water passage 1321a, the second water passage 1321b and the air flow channel 1321c.
