Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of laundry technology, and more particularly to a garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] A washing machine is a cleaning appliance used to wash clothes. A washing machine consists of a cabinet, an outer drum, and an inner drum. The outer drum is located inside the cabinet and is used to store water. The inner drum is rotatably located inside the outer drum and is used to hold clothes that need to be cleaned. When the inner drum rotates, it causes the clothes, water, and detergent to interact to remove stains from the clothes and achieve the goal of cleaning them.

[0003] In related technologies, a washing machine with automatic detergent dispensing function has a soap box and a spray ring. The soap box is used to hold detergent, and the spray ring is set on the wall of the outer drum. The spray chambers in the soap box and the spray ring are connected to each other so that the detergent in the soap box can be sprayed into the inner drum through the spray ring.

[0004] However, after the detergent is automatically dispensed, some detergent remains in the spray chamber. This residual detergent cannot be used, resulting in a decrease in the washing machine's detergent utilization rate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a clothing processing device that can solve the technical problem of low detergent utilization in related washing machines.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a garment processing device, comprising:

[0007] Box;

[0008] The washing drum is located inside the cabinet and has an opening for loading and unloading clothes.

[0009] A soap dish, which is set in the box, has a soap cavity for holding detergent;

[0010] The spray ring is located at one end of the washing drum near the clothes loading and unloading port. The spray ring has a spray chamber with multiple interconnected spray channels. The spray ring has nozzles that communicate with the spray channels of the inner ring. The liquid outlet direction of the nozzles is towards the inside of the washing drum.

[0011] The detergent dispensing mechanism is connected between the soap box and the spray ring. The detergent dispensing mechanism has a detergent flow channel that connects the soap chamber and the spray channel of the outer ring.

[0012] And a spray chamber flushing mechanism, which is connected to the spray ring. The spray chamber flushing mechanism has an inlet channel with an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end of the inlet channel is configured to be connected to a water source, and the outlet end of the inlet channel is configured to be connected to the spray channel of the outer ring.

[0013] In this embodiment of the garment processing equipment, the spray chamber is constructed as a multi-ring interconnected spray channel. The nozzles of the spray ring are connected to the spray channel of the inner ring. Water is injected into the outer ring spray channel through the spray chamber flushing mechanism. As the water flows from the outer ring to the inner ring of the spray channel, it flushes the detergent residue in the spray chamber. The flushed detergent is sprayed out from the nozzles into the washing drum, thereby utilizing the detergent residue in the spray chamber. This improves the detergent utilization efficiency of the garment processing equipment, increases the detergent concentration in the washing drum, and thus improves the cleaning effect on the garments.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the spray chamber flushing mechanism includes:

[0015] The first control valve has an inlet end, an outlet end and a valve chamber. When the first control valve is opened, the valve chamber connects the inlet end and the outlet end of the first control valve. The inlet end of the first control valve constitutes the inlet end of the inlet flow channel.

The end of the first pipe body away from the first control valve constitutes the water outlet end of the water inlet channel.

[0017] With this configuration, the detergent and water mixture in the soaping chamber is transported to the spray chamber via the detergent dispensing mechanism and sprayed from the nozzles into the washing drum. Then, the first control valve can be opened, allowing water to flow through the valve and the first pipe into the spray chamber to flush away any remaining detergent. The flushed detergent is then sprayed from the nozzles into the washing drum, thus utilizing the remaining detergent in the spray chamber, reducing detergent residue, and improving the detergent utilization rate of the garment processing equipment. This also increases the detergent concentration in the washing drum, thereby improving the cleaning effect on clothes.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the spray ring is provided with a first inlet and a second inlet, both of which are connected to the spray channel of the outer ring; the detergent channel is connected to the first inlet, and the outlet end of the water inlet channel is connected to the second inlet.

[0021] This design simplifies the structure of the spray ring.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, at least a portion of the spray channel wall is provided with a blocking member, which occupies a portion of the radial width of the spray channel.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the detergent dispensing mechanism includes a draining structure disposed at the bottom of the soap box. The draining structure has a detergent flow channel, which includes a first flow channel, a second flow channel, and a third flow channel connected in sequence.

[0029] The extension direction of the first flow channel is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the bottom end of the first flow channel forms a liquid inlet, which is connected to the bottom of the soap chamber.

[0030] The extension direction of the second flow channel is inclined relative to the horizontal plane. The top height of the second flow channel is lower than the top height of the soap cavity. The top of the second flow channel is connected to the top of the first flow channel. The bottom of the second flow channel has an adsorption section. The cross-sectional area of ​​the adsorption section gradually decreases from top to bottom.

When the second control valve is open, the valve chamber is connected to the inlet end and the outlet end of the second control valve. The inlet end of the second control valve forms the inlet end of the flushing channel.

[0043] The second pipe body is connected between the outlet end of the second control valve and the third flow channel. The valve chamber of the second control valve and the channel inside the second pipe body are connected, and the valve chamber of the second control valve and the channel inside the second pipe body constitute a flushing channel. The end of the second pipe body away from the second control valve constitutes the outlet end of the flushing channel.

[0044] With this configuration, when the second control valve is opened, the water source flows into the third flow channel sequentially through the second control valve and the inlet of the third flow channel. As the water source in the third flow channel flows towards the outlet, it mixes with the mixed liquid flowing into the third flow channel from the bottom of the second flow channel. The mixed liquid is then flushed into the spray chamber to further dilute the mixed liquid in the soap chamber. The diluted mixed liquid is then sprayed into the washing drum, improving the mixing efficiency of the detergent and the water in the washing drum.

[0048] With this setup, water from the mixing chamber is sprayed into the soap chamber from multiple nozzles around the perimeter, thus initially rinsing and mixing the detergent in the soap chamber.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the water inlet mechanism includes a third control valve. The third control valve has an inlet end, an outlet end, and a valve chamber. When the third control valve is open, the valve chamber of the third control valve connects the inlet end and the outlet end of the third control valve.

[0050] With this setup, when the third control valve is opened, water flows through the outlet of the third control valve to the soap chamber to initially rinse the detergent in the soap chamber.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the washing tub includes:

[0052] The inner tub includes an inner tub body and a balance ring, with the balance ring located at the end of the inner tub body near the clothing loading and unloading opening.

[0053] The outer drum includes an outer drum body and an outer drum cover. The outer drum body is located outside the inner drum body, and the outer drum cover is located at the end of the outer drum body near the clothes loading and unloading port.

The spray ring has nozzles that communicate with the spray channels of the inner ring, and the liquid outlet direction of the nozzles is towards the inside of the washing drum.

[0061] A water inlet mechanism is connected to the soap box. The water inlet mechanism has a water inlet channel with an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end of the water inlet channel is configured to communicate with a water source, and the outlet end of the water inlet channel is communicated with the soap cavity.

[0062] The detergent dispensing mechanism is connected between the soap box and the spray ring. The detergent dispensing mechanism has a detergent flow channel that connects the soap chamber and the spray channel of the outer ring.

[0063] In this embodiment of the garment processing equipment, water is injected into the soap chamber via a water inlet mechanism. The water flowing into the soap chamber initially rinses and mixes the detergent, improving the mixing efficiency of detergent and water within the soap chamber.

[0107] As described in the background art, washing machines in the related art have the problem of low detergent utilization. The inventors have found that the reason for this problem is that after the washing machine in the related art automatically dispenses the detergent from the soap box into the inner drum through the spray ring, detergent remains in the spray chamber. This residual detergent remains in the spray chamber and cannot be utilized, resulting in a reduced detergent utilization rate of the washing machine, which in turn reduces the cleaning effect on clothes.

[0108] In view of this, the clothing treatment device of this application embodiment constructs the spray chamber as a multi-ring interconnected spray channel. The nozzles of the spray ring are connected to the spray channel of the inner ring. Water is injected into the spray channel of the outer ring through the spray chamber flushing mechanism. As the water flows from the outer ring to the inner ring of the spray channel, it flushes the detergent residue in the spray chamber. The flushed detergent is sprayed out from the nozzle into the washing drum to utilize the detergent residue in the spray chamber, thereby improving the detergent utilization efficiency of the clothing treatment device, increasing the detergent concentration in the washing drum, and thus improving the cleaning effect on the clothes.

[0129] In some possible implementations of this application, the spray ring 40 can be disposed at the end of the washing drum 20 near the clothes loading / unloading port. Exemplarily, the spray ring 40 can be disposed between the shielding portion 213 and the balance ring 222.

[0136] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the spray ring 40 may be constructed with a plurality of nozzles 420, and the plurality of nozzles 420 may be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the spray ring 40, so that the liquid in the spray chamber 410 may be evenly sprayed from the plurality of nozzles 420 into the washing drum 20, thereby improving the mixing efficiency of the liquid sprayed into the washing drum 20 and the water in the washing drum 20.

[0137] In the implementation where the nozzle 420 is located on the side of the spray ring 40 away from the wall of the washing drum 20, the liquid outlet direction S of the nozzle 420 can be tilted downward so that the liquid sprayed from the nozzle 420 is directed towards the inside of the washing drum 20, thereby reducing liquid splashing.

[0138] refer to Figure 3 The liquid outlet direction S of the nozzle 420 can be eccentrically set relative to the axis O of the washing drum 20, that is, the liquid outlet direction S of the nozzle 420 does not pass through the axis O of the washing drum 20, so that the liquid sprayed from multiple nozzles 420 is sprayed to different positions in the washing drum 20, reducing the accumulation of sprayed detergent and improving the mixing efficiency of detergent and water in the washing drum 20.

[0139] refer to Figure 6 In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the clothing processing device may further include a water inlet mechanism 70.

[0140] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6The water inlet mechanism 70 may include a third control valve 710, which may have an inlet end, an outlet end, and a valve chamber. When the third control valve 710 is open, the valve chamber connects the inlet end and the outlet end of the third control valve 710. The valve chamber of the third control valve 710 forms a water inlet channel, and the inlet end of the third control valve 710 forms the inlet end of the water inlet channel. The inlet end of the third control valve 710 is used to connect to a water source, which may be tap water or other water sources. The outlet end of the third control valve 710 forms the outlet end of the water inlet channel and is connected to the soap chamber 510.

[0141] When the third control valve 710 is opened, water flows from the outlet of the third control valve 710 to the soap chamber 510. The water flowing into the soap chamber 510 initially flushes the detergent in the soap chamber 510, improving the mixing efficiency of detergent and water in the soap chamber 510.

[0142] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the outlet end of the third control valve 710 and the soap chamber 510 can be connected by a third pipe.

[0143] In some other possible implementations of this application, the water inlet mechanism 70 may include a first water pump, which has an inlet, an outlet, and a chamber connecting the inlet and the outlet. The chamber of the first water pump forms a water inlet channel. The inlet of the first water pump forms the inlet end of the water inlet channel and is used to connect with a water source. The outlet of the first water pump forms the outlet end of the water inlet channel and is connected to the soap chamber 510.

[0144] When the first water pump is working, water is delivered to the soap chamber 510 through the first water pump to initially rinse the detergent in the soap chamber 510.

[0145] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The top of the soap box 50 may be constructed with a water mixing chamber 520, which is connected to the outlet of the water inlet channel. Water flows from the outlet of the water inlet channel to the water mixing chamber 520.

[0146] At least part of the mixing water chamber 520 is located above the top opening of the soap chamber 510 and surrounds the periphery of the soap chamber 510. The side of the mixing water chamber 520 near the soap chamber 510 is constructed with a plurality of water nozzles 521 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the soap chamber 510. The water outlet direction of the water nozzles 521 is towards the soap chamber 510. In this way, the water in the mixing water chamber 520 is sprayed into the soap chamber 510 from the plurality of water nozzles 521 around the soap chamber 510 to perform preliminary rinsing and mixing of the detergent in the soap chamber 510.

[0147] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The garment handling equipment also includes a detergent dispensing mechanism 80. The detergent dispensing mechanism 80 is located between the soap dispenser 50 and the spray ring 40. The detergent dispensing mechanism 80 has a detergent flow channel that connects the soap chamber 510 and the outer spray channel 411. The detergent dispensing mechanism 80 is configured to deliver the mixture in the soap chamber 510 to the spray chamber 410. The detergent and water mixture in the spray chamber 410 is sprayed from the nozzle 420 into the inner drum 220, allowing the mixture to be evenly sprayed into the inner drum 220, thereby improving the mixing efficiency of the detergent and the water in the inner drum 220.

[0148] The spray chamber 410 may be equipped with a first inlet 413 (for reference). Figure 3 The first inlet 413 is connected to the outer ring spray channel 411, and the detergent dispensing mechanism 80 is connected to the first inlet 413, so that the detergent dispensing mechanism 80 is connected to the outer ring spray channel 411, and the nozzle 420 is connected to the inner ring spray channel 411. In this way, after the mixture from the soap chamber 510 flows into the spray chamber 410 from the outer ring spray channel 411, in addition to flowing along the outer ring spray channel 411, it also flows radially towards the inner ring spray channel 411 of the spray ring 40, which increases the flow path of the mixture in the spray chamber 410. This allows the mixture from the soap chamber 510 to continue mixing in the spray chamber 410 before being sprayed out by the nozzle 420 into the washing drum 20, thereby improving the mixing efficiency of detergent and water.

[0149] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 11 At least a portion of the spray channel 411 is provided with a blocking element 430. The blocking element 430 can be a blocking block, a blocking column, or a pebble-shaped element. The blocking element 430 occupies a portion of the radial width of the spray channel 411 to reduce the possibility of the blocking element 430 separating the spray channels 411 on both sides of its circumference. When the mixture of detergent and water flows through the blocking element 430, the blocking element 430 can further agitate and mix the detergent and water, improving the mixing efficiency of detergent and water.

[0150] refer to Figure 11 Two adjacent blocking members 430 along the circumference of the spray ring 40 can be arranged in an alternating manner, so that the distance between the adjacent blocking members 430 along the circumference of the spray ring 40 and the axis of the spray ring 40 is not equal, so as to stir the mixture at different radial positions of the spray channel 411, thereby improving the stirring and mixing efficiency of the mixture in the spray channel 411.

[0151] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 10The detergent dispensing mechanism 80 may include a drain structure 810, which is disposed in the soap box 50. The drain structure 810 has a liquid inlet 822 and a liquid outlet 843 that are connected to each other. The liquid inlet 822 is connected to the soap chamber 510, and the liquid outlet 843 is connected to the spray chamber 410.

[0152] In some possible implementations of this application, the drain structure 810 may include an inverted U-shaped tube, with a first flow channel 821 on one side. The extension direction of the first flow channel 821 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane. For example, the extension direction of the first flow channel 821 may be vertical or inclined at a small angle relative to the vertical direction. The bottom end of the first flow channel 821 forms a liquid inlet 822, which is close to the bottom of the soap chamber 510 and is connected to the soap chamber 510.

[0153] The other side of the inverted U-shaped tube has a second flow channel 831. The extension direction of the second flow channel 831 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane. For example, the extension direction of the second flow channel 831 may be vertical or inclined at a small angle relative to the vertical direction. The top end of the second flow channel 831 is connected to the top end of the first flow channel 821, and the height of the top end of the second flow channel 831 is lower than the height of the top end of the soap cavity 510.

[0154] The water inlet mechanism 70 adds water to the soap chamber 510 and initially rinses and mixes the detergent in the soap chamber 510. During this process, when the liquid level in the soap chamber 510 is higher than the top height of the second flow channel 831, according to the siphon principle, the liquid in the soap chamber 510 will flow upward into the first flow channel 821 through the liquid inlet 822 and flow from the top of the second flow channel 831 to the bottom of the second flow channel 831.

[0155] In some other possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The drain structure 810 may include a first drain pipe 830, which may be disposed in the soap cavity 510. The inner wall of the first drain pipe 830 forms a second flow channel 831, and the bottom end of the first drain pipe 830 penetrates the soap box 50.

[0156] In this embodiment, the drainage structure 810 may include a flow guide 820, which covers the first drainage pipe 830. A first flow channel 821 is formed between the inner wall of the flow guide 820 and the outer wall of the first drainage pipe 830. The bottom of the flow guide 820 and the bottom of the soap cavity 510 are spaced apart, so that the soap cavity 510 and the first flow channel 821 are connected through the gap between the bottom of the flow guide 820 and the bottom of the soap cavity 510. The bottom end of the first flow channel 821 forms a liquid inlet 822. The inner top wall of the flow guide 820 and the top end of the first drainage pipe 830 are spaced apart, so that the second flow channel 831 is connected through the gap between the inner top wall of the flow guide 820 and the top end of the first drainage pipe 830.

[0157] The water inlet mechanism 70 adds water to the soap chamber 510 and initially rinses and mixes the detergent in the soap chamber 510. During this process, when the liquid level in the soap chamber 510 is higher than the top height of the second flow channel 831, according to the siphon principle, the liquid in the soap chamber 510 will flow upward into the first flow channel 821 through the liquid inlet 822 and flow from the top of the second flow channel 831 to the bottom of the second flow channel 831.

[0158] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the bottom end of the second flow channel 831 may have an adsorption section 832. The cross-sectional area of ​​the adsorption section 832 gradually decreases from top to bottom. According to the Venturi effect, the liquid in the second flow channel 831 will increase its flow velocity when it flows through the bottom end of the adsorption section 832. According to Bernoulli's law, when the flow velocity of the liquid at the bottom end of the second flow channel 831 increases, the liquid pressure decreases, thereby generating an adsorption effect. This allows the mixture in the soap cavity 510 to continuously flow from the first flow channel 821 to the second flow channel 831. That is, during the process of the mixture in the soap cavity 510 flowing to the first flow channel 821 and the second flow channel 831, when the height of the mixture in the soap cavity 510 is lower than the height of the top end of the second flow channel 831, the mixture in the soap cavity 510 can still continuously flow to the first flow channel 821 and the second flow channel 831 under the action of the adsorption section 832, so as to improve the utilization rate of detergent in the soap cavity 510.

[0159] In the implementation of the drain structure 810, which includes a first drain pipe 830 and a flow guide 820, a drain trough 511 can be constructed at the bottom of the soap box 50. The bottom of the drain trough 511 is lower than the bottom of the soap cavity 510. Part of the first drain pipe 830 and part of the flow guide 820 are disposed in the drain trough 511. The bottom of the flow guide 820 and the bottom of the drain trough 511 are spaced apart so that the height of the outlet 843 and the inlet 822 is lower than the bottom of the soap cavity 510. This improves the emptying rate of the mixed liquid in the soap cavity 510 and increases the utilization rate of the detergent in the soap cavity 510.

[0160] A height indicator can be installed inside the soap dish 50.

[0161] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the height indicator can be a column that extends vertically and has an indicator scale. The maximum value of the indicator scale is less than or equal to the top height of the second flow channel 831.

[0162] In some other possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the height indicator can be an indicator piece 540, which can extend horizontally and the height of the indicator piece 540 is less than or equal to the top height of the second flow channel 831.

[0163] In the above-mentioned implementation of the height indicator in the soap box 50, when detergent is added to the soap cavity 510, the liquid level of the detergent does not exceed the height of the top of the second flow channel 831. Before the water inlet mechanism 70 adds water to the soap cavity 510, the detergent in the soap cavity 510 is not easy to flow into the second flow channel 831.

[0164] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 10 The drain structure 810 may include a second drain pipe 840, which may be disposed outside the soap box 50 and located at the bottom of the soap box 50. The second drain pipe 840 is disposed at the bottom of the first drain pipe 830, and the inner wall of the second drain pipe 840 forms a third flow channel 841.

[0165] One end of the third flow channel 841 forms an inlet 842, and the other end forms an outlet 843. The outlet 843 can be connected to the spray chamber 410 through the fourth pipe 850. The bottom end of the second flow channel 831 is connected to the third flow channel 841. The mixed liquid in the soap chamber 510 flows into the third flow channel 841 from the bottom end of the second flow channel 831.

[0166] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, a one-way valve 880 may be provided between the fourth pipe 850 and the spray chamber 410. The one-way valve 880 is used to allow the liquid in the second pipe to flow unidirectionally to the spray chamber 410, so as to reduce the liquid in the spray chamber 410 from flowing back into the soap box 50 through the fourth pipe 850.

[0167] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the detergent dispensing mechanism 80 may further include a detergent rinsing structure, which has a rinsing channel with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the rinsing channel is configured to be connected to a water source, and the outlet of the rinsing channel is connected to a third flow channel 841.

[0168] In some possible implementations of this application, the detergent flushing structure may include a second control valve 870, which has an inlet end, an outlet end, and a valve chamber. When the second control valve 870 is open, the valve chamber connects the inlet end of the second control valve 870 and the outlet end of the second control valve 870. The inlet end of the second control valve 870 constitutes the inlet end of the flushing channel.

[0169] The detergent flushing structure may include a second pipe 860, which is connected between the outlet end of the second control valve 870 and the third flow channel 841. The valve chamber of the second control valve 870 is connected to the channel within the second pipe 860, and the valve chamber of the second control valve 870 and the channel within the second pipe 860 constitute a flushing channel. The end of the second pipe 860 away from the second control valve 870 constitutes the outlet end of the flushing channel.

[0170] The outlet of the second control valve 870 is connected to the third flow channel 841 through the second pipe body 860, and then to the inlet 842.

[0171] When the second control valve 870 is opened, the water source flows into the third flow channel 841 through the inlet 842 of the third flow channel 841 in sequence through the second control valve 870. As the water source in the third flow channel 841 flows towards the outlet 843, it mixes with the mixed liquid flowing into the third flow channel 841 from the bottom of the second flow channel 831. The mixed liquid is then flushed into the spray chamber 410 to further dilute the mixed liquid in the soap chamber 510. The diluted mixed liquid is then sprayed into the washing drum 20, which improves the mixing efficiency of the detergent and the water in the washing drum 20.

[0172] In some other possible implementations of this application, the detergent flushing structure may include a second water pump, which has an inlet, an outlet, and a chamber communicating between the inlet and the outlet. The chamber of the second water pump forms a flushing channel. The inlet of the second water pump forms the inlet end of the flushing channel and is connected to a water source. The outlet of the second water pump forms the outlet end of the flushing channel and is connected to the third flow channel 841.

[0173] When the second water pump is working, the water source flows into the third flow channel 841 through the inlet 842 of the second water pump and the third flow channel 841 in sequence. As the water source in the third flow channel 841 flows towards the outlet 843, it mixes with the mixed liquid flowing into the third flow channel 841 from the bottom of the second flow channel 831. The mixed liquid is then flushed into the spray chamber 410 to further dilute the mixed liquid in the soap chamber 510. The diluted mixed liquid is then sprayed into the washing drum 20, which improves the mixing efficiency of detergent and water in the washing drum 20.

[0174] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, Figure 6 The garment processing equipment also includes a spray chamber rinsing mechanism 90. The spray chamber rinsing mechanism 90 is connected to the spray ring 40. The spray chamber rinsing mechanism 90 has a water inlet channel with an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end of the water inlet channel is configured to communicate with a water source, and the outlet end of the water inlet channel is configured to communicate with the outer ring spray channel 411.

[0175] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the spray chamber flushing mechanism 90 may include a first control valve 910. The first control valve 910 has an inlet end, an outlet end, and a valve chamber. When the first control valve 910 is open, the valve chamber of the first control valve 910 connects the inlet end and the outlet end of the first control valve 910. The inlet end of the first control valve 910 constitutes the inlet end of the inlet flow channel.

[0176] The spray chamber flushing mechanism 90 also includes a first pipe body 920, which is connected between the outlet end of the first control valve 910 and the spray ring 40. The valve chamber of the first control valve 910 and the channel inside the first pipe body 920 are connected, and the valve chamber of the first control valve 910 and the channel inside the first pipe body 920 constitute a water inlet channel. The end of the first pipe body 920 away from the first control valve 910 constitutes the outlet end of the water inlet channel.

[0177] The first pipe body 920 can be connected between the outlet end of the first control valve 910 and the second inlet 414. The outlet end of the first control valve 910 can be connected to the spray chamber 410 through the first pipe body 920.

[0178] The detergent and water mixture in the soaping chamber 510 is delivered to the spray chamber 410 via the detergent dispensing mechanism 80 and sprayed into the washing drum 20 from the nozzle 420. Then, the first control valve 910 can be opened, allowing water to flow through the first control valve 910 and the first pipe 920 into the spray chamber 410 to flush away any remaining detergent. The flushed detergent is then sprayed from the nozzle 420 into the washing drum 20, utilizing the remaining detergent in the spray chamber 410. This reduces detergent residue in the spray chamber 410 and improves the detergent utilization rate of the garment processing equipment. It also increases the detergent concentration in the washing drum, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the clothes.

[0179] In addition, when the garment processing equipment does not require the addition of detergent, such as during the rinsing stage, opening the first control valve 910 can also inject water into the washing drum 20 to meet the water injection needs of the garment processing equipment.

[0180] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5In the above-mentioned implementation of the spray chamber 410 including multiple spray channels 411, the second inlet 414 is connected to the outer spray channel 411, so that the first pipe body 920 is connected to the outer spray channel 411, and the nozzle 420 is connected to the inner spray channel 411. In this way, after the water source from the first control valve 910 flows into the spray chamber 410 from the outer spray channel 411, in addition to flowing along the outer spray channel 411, it also flows radially along the spray ring 40 to the inner spray channel 411, which increases the flow path of the water source in the spray chamber 410, improves the flushing efficiency of the water source in the spray chamber 410, reduces the detergent residue in the spray chamber 410, and improves the utilization rate of detergent.
