Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In related technologies, clothing handling equipment mainly includes a clothing handling drum, a detergent dispenser, and piping, with the piping connecting the detergent dispenser and the clothing handling drum. During washing, external water is introduced into the detergent dispenser to form a detergent solution, which then flows through the piping into the clothing handling drum, thus adding detergent. However, detergents, especially laundry powder, often do not dissolve completely and mix unevenly with the water, resulting in insufficient detergent utilization, poor cleaning performance, and a negative impact on user experience. Furthermore, some related technologies use clean water to dilute the solution at the detergent dispenser's drain outlet before it flows along the piping into the clothing handling chamber; however, the cleaning effect remains unsatisfactory. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present application aims to provide a garment treatment device that can effectively promote detergent dissolution and improve the spraying effect when the detergent mixture enters the garment treatment chamber, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0004] This application provides a garment processing device, including:

[0005] The garment processing chamber is used to hold the garments to be processed.

[0006] A detergent dispensing device includes a first water path and a second water path, the first water path and the second water path being used to transport fluid, the inlet end of the first water path being connected to a water source, and the inlet end of the second water path being connected to a water source.

[0007] The fluid in the first water path is a detergent mixture solution. The fluid in the first water path and the fluid in the second water path converge at the point of convergence within the garment processing chamber.

[0008] In some embodiments, the detergent dispensing device further includes a mixing space and a spray nozzle. The mixing space is located inside the garment processing chamber. The fluid from the first water path and the fluid from the second water path converge in the mixing space, and the mixed fluid in the mixing space is dispensed into the garment processing chamber through the spray nozzle.

[0009] In some embodiments, the spray nozzle is used to spray water downwards at an angle toward the rear side of the garment processing chamber.

[0010] In some embodiments, the acute angle formed between the centerline of the spray nozzle and the reference surface is 30° to 70°, wherein the reference surface is perpendicular to the axis of the clothing processing chamber.

[0011] In some embodiments, the detergent dispensing device includes a turbulent structure disposed in the second water channel for providing a circumferential velocity component to the fluid in the second water channel.

[0012] In some embodiments, the water outlets of the first water path and the second water path are respectively used to inject fluid into the clothing processing chamber, and the fluid ejected from the water outlet of the first water path can meet the fluid ejected from the water outlet of the second water path in the air within the clothing processing chamber.

[0013] In some embodiments, the fluid in the first water path has a first flow path in the garment processing chamber, the fluid in the second water path has a second flow path in the garment processing chamber, and the first flow path intersects with the second flow path; and / or, the extension direction of the outlet end of the first water path intersects with the extension direction of the outlet end of the second water path.

[0014] In some embodiments, the garment processing device includes a tubular assembly and a door seal ring disposed on the front side of the tubular assembly. A first water passage and a second water passage pass through the door seal ring, and the outlet ends of the first water passage and the second water passage are located radially inside the door seal ring.

[0015] In some embodiments, the garment processing device includes a nozzle unit connected to the door seal ring. The nozzle unit includes a housing located radially inside the door seal ring. The housing forms a mixing space and a spray nozzle. Fluid from the first water path and fluid from the second water path converge in the mixing space. The mixed fluid in the mixing space is injected into the garment processing chamber through the spray nozzle.

[0016] In some embodiments, the nozzle unit includes a nozzle disposed inside the mixing space, the outlet of the nozzle forming the water outlet of the second water path, and the outlet of the nozzle facing the spray nozzle.

[0017] The garment treatment device provided in this application embodiment involves a detergent mixture solution converging with the fluid from the second water path before being sprayed onto the garments to be treated. During this convergence, the two fluids mix and impact each other, further promoting detergent dissolution and foaming. Since the convergence point is located within the garment treatment chamber, the distance from the converging point to the garments being treated is shortened, reducing the degree of foam breakdown in the foamy detergent. This facilitates the application of a larger amount of foamy detergent to the garments, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0018] In addition, in this embodiment of the application, the distance from the confluence of the first water channel and the second water channel to the spray onto the clothing to be treated is relatively short, and the water outlet pattern after the confluence can be better preserved.

[0031] The embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this application, but should not be used to limit the scope of this application.

"Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0035] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example that is included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiments of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0036] This application provides a garment processing device; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The garment processing equipment includes a garment processing chamber and a detergent dispensing device 100. The garment processing chamber is used to hold the garments to be processed.

[0037] The type of clothing handling equipment is not limited, such as front-loading washing machines, top-loading washing machines, front-loading washer-dryer combos, and top-loading washer-dryer combos. This instruction manual uses a front-loading washing machine as an example.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The detergent dispensing device 100 includes a first water channel 40A and a second water channel 50A. Both water channels 40A and 50A are used to transport fluid. The inlet of the first water channel 40A is connected to a water source, and the inlet of the second water channel 50A is also connected to a water source. It is understood that the fluid from both the first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A is ultimately dispensed into the garment processing chamber.

[0039] It should be noted that the first water channel 40A refers to the fluid flow path and does not specifically refer to a pipe-like structure. The second water channel 50A refers to the fluid flow path and does not specifically refer to a pipe-like structure. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 8 In the attached diagram, the dashed lines with arrows indicate the direction of fluid flow.

[0040] The fluid in the first water channel 40A is a detergent mixture solution.

[0041] It should be noted that the detergent mixture mentioned in this instruction manual is for ease of description only, referring to a mixture containing dissolved detergent. Its mass percentage concentration is not limited, nor is it limited to the complete dissolution of the detergent. The form of the detergent is not limited; it can be powdered laundry detergent, liquid laundry detergent, or fabric softener, etc.

[0042] The fluid in the second water channel 50A is not limited; it can be tap water or a fluid containing detergent. For example, in some embodiments, the garment processing device also includes a circulation pump, and the inlet of the second water channel 50A is connected to the outlet of the circulation pump.

[0043] The fluid in the first water channel 40A and the fluid in the second water channel 50A converge, and the convergence point is located in the clothing processing chamber.

[0044] In the garment treatment device of this application embodiment, the detergent mixture solution merges with the fluid from the second water channel 50A before being sprayed onto the garments to be treated. When the two fluids merge, they mix and impact each other, further promoting the dissolution and foaming of the detergent. Since the merging point is located within the garment treatment chamber, the distance from the merging point to the garments being treated is shortened, reducing the degree of foam breakdown in the foamy detergent. This facilitates the application of a larger amount of foamy detergent to the garments, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the distance from the confluence of the first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A to the spray onto the clothing to be treated is relatively short, and the water outlet pattern after the confluence can be better preserved.

[0046] For example, please refer to Figure 1 The garment processing equipment includes a housing (not shown), a door (not shown), a bobbin assembly 10, and a door seal ring 60. The door seal ring 60 is located on the front side of the bobbin assembly 10, which is housed within the housing. The housing has an opening communicating with the interior of the bobbin assembly 10. The door is used to open or close the opening. The door seal ring 60 seals the gap between the bobbin assembly 10 and the opening of the housing. When the door is closed, it is sealed tightly against the door seal ring 60. Thus, the communicating space formed between the interior of the bobbin assembly 10, the door seal ring 60, and the door constitutes the garment processing chamber.

[0047] For example, please refer to Figure 1 The first water channel 40A and the second water channel 50A pass through the door seal ring 60. The water outlet of the first water channel 40A and the water outlet of the second water channel 50A are located on the radial inner side of the door seal ring 60. This facilitates the convergence of the fluid in the first water channel 40A and the fluid in the second water channel 50A in the garment processing chamber, and improves the design flexibility of the convergence position and convergence angle of the two fluids.

[0048] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The detergent dispensing device 100 includes a detergent supply assembly 30, which has a detergent dispensing chamber through which fluid from the first water path 40A flows. The detergent dispensing chamber is used to contain detergent; that is, the detergent supply assembly 30 is located on the first water path 40A, and the detergent can dissolve in the fluid of the first water path 40A under the action of the fluid there, forming a detergent mixture solution.

[0049] In other embodiments, the detergent supply component 30 is connected to the first water channel 40A, and the detergent in the detergent supply component 30 is mixed with water and then added to the first water channel 40A to form a detergent mixture solution.

[0050] For example, the garment processing equipment also includes a water inlet valve 90, which has a first outlet 90a. The first water path 40A and the second water path 50A are both connected to the first outlet 90a. The water source supplies water to the first water path 40A and / or the second water path 50A through the water inlet valve 90. When the detergent dispensing device 100 dispenses the detergent mixture into the garment processing chamber, it can also assist in water intake and spray the garments to be processed.

[0051] The implementation method where the aforementioned intersection point is located in the garment processing cavity is not limited to any one of the following two methods.

[0052] In some embodiments, the outlet of the first water channel 40A and the outlet of the second water channel 50A are respectively used to inject fluid into the clothing processing chamber, and the fluid ejected from the outlet of the first water channel 40A can meet the fluid ejected from the outlet of the second water channel 50A in the air within the clothing processing chamber. That is, the meeting point is exposed in the space of the clothing processing chamber.

[0053] This embodiment requires no additional piping structure. It utilizes the kinetic energy of the fluid at the outlet of the first water channel 40A and the kinetic energy of the fluid in the second water channel 50A to cause the two fluids to collide. On the one hand, the detergent mixture is impacted and mixed, promoting the full dissolution of the detergent. On the other hand, the two fluids disperse after colliding in the air, which can expand the spraying area and improve the spraying effect.

[0054] There are no restrictions on how the two fluids meet in the air.

[0055] For example, please refer to Figure 9 In some embodiments, the fluid in the first water channel 40A has a first flow path in the clothing processing chamber, and the fluid in the second water channel 50A has a second flow path in the clothing processing chamber. The first flow path and the second flow path intersect. It should be noted that the first flow path refers to the movement path of the fluid after leaving the outlet of the first water channel 40A, and the second flow path refers to the movement path of the fluid after leaving the outlet of the second water channel 50A. The first flow path and the second flow path can be straight lines or parabolas, which are not limited here. Moreover, the shape of the fluid after being ejected can be a water curtain or a water column. It can be understood that the water column-type fluid hits the water curtain-type fluid, which is also an implementation where the first flow path and the second flow path intersect.

[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The extension direction of the outlet end of the first water channel 40A (as shown by the center line in the diagram) intersects with the extension direction of the outlet end of the second water channel 50A (as shown by the center line in the diagram). When the fluid ejection velocity is high, the two fluid streams converge near the intersection point of the aforementioned extension lines. When the fluid ejection velocity is low, the two fluid streams converge below the intersection point of the aforementioned extension lines. In this way, the fluid from the first water channel 40A and the fluid from the second water channel 50A easily converge in the air within the garment processing chamber.

[0057] Secondly, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8The detergent dispensing device 100 also includes a mixing space 20a and a spray nozzle 201b. The mixing space 20a is located inside the clothing processing chamber. The fluid from the first water path 40A and the fluid from the second water path 50A converge in the mixing space 20a. The mixed fluid in the mixing space 20a is dispensed into the clothing processing chamber through the spray nozzle 201b.

[0058] It should be noted that the above-mentioned mixing space 20a is a chamber formed in the solid structure. In this embodiment, the mixing space 20a allows the detergent mixture solution of the first water channel 40A to be mixed more thoroughly with the fluid of the second water channel 50A before being put into the clothing processing chamber.

[0059] In some embodiments, the spray nozzle 201b is used to spray water downwards at an angle toward the rear side of the garment processing chamber.

[0060] In other words, please see Figure 5 The water nozzle 201b sprays water downwards and backwards. The fluid at the nozzle 201b has both a downward velocity component and a velocity component along the axial rearward side of the garment processing chamber. That is, the centerline n of the nozzle 201b forms an acute angle φ with the reference plane m. The reference plane m is perpendicular to the axis of the garment processing chamber.

[0061] The value of the acute angle φ is not limited. For example, the acute angle φ formed by the centerline n of the spray nozzle 201b and the reference surface m is 30° to 70°, i.e., 30° ≤ φ ≤ 70°. Examples include 30°, 45°, 50°, 60°, and 70°. This ensures that the fluid sprayed from the spray nozzle 201b is sprayed onto the clothes in the garment processing chamber as much as possible, quickly wetting the clothes, improving detergent utilization, and enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The second water passage 50A has a narrowing section 22 at its end to increase the flow velocity at the outlet of the second water passage 50A. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the end of the narrowing section 22 forms the outlet of the second water passage 50A. That is, the fluid of the second water passage 50A is ejected from the end of the narrowing section 22. In other embodiments, the end of the narrowing section 22 is also connected to a constant diameter section and / or an expanding diameter section, which form the outlet of the second water passage 50A.

[0063] It should be noted that, along the direction of fluid movement, the flow area of ​​the fluid decreases in the aforementioned narrowing section 22, remains basically unchanged in the aforementioned constant diameter section, and increases in the aforementioned widening section.

[0064] The narrowing section 22 increases the impact force of the fluid by limiting the flow area when the fluid is ejected, resulting in a greater impact force on the fluid at the outlet of the first water channel 40A and achieving a better mixing effect.

[0065] Meanwhile, the narrowing section 22 gives the outlet of the second water channel 50A a large jet velocity, which can generate a significant negative pressure in a relatively large area. This negative pressure causes the fluid at the outlet of the first water channel 40A to be drawn in and mixed with the fluid in the second water channel 50A, thus improving the mixing and foaming effect.

[0066] In some embodiments, the detergent dispensing device 100 includes a turbulence structure 21 disposed in a second water channel 50A for providing a circumferential velocity component to the fluid in the second water channel 50A.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The detergent dispensing device 100 also includes a turbulence structure 21, which is disposed in the second water channel 50A and is used to provide a circumferential velocity component to the fluid in the second water channel 50A.

[0068] The aforementioned circumferential velocity component refers to the fluid in the second water channel 50A after passing through the turbulent structure 21, whose velocity direction has a non-zero component in the circumferential direction of the second water channel 50A, and the circumferential direction of the second water channel 50A is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second water channel 50A.

[0069] In this embodiment, the turbulent structure 21 allows some of the fluid to have both a circumferential velocity and a forward flow velocity, so some of the fluid moves in a roughly spiral motion. When the fluid is ejected from the outlet of the second water channel 50A, it facilitates the conical diffusion of the fluid, resulting in a wider radiation range and better visual effect.

[0070] For example, the turbulent structure 21 includes one or more helical blades that divide at least a portion of the length of the second waterway 50A into multiple sub-channels.

[0071] The term "multiple" refers to the number of blades, which can be two, three, or more. In other words, the number of spiral heads is not less than two, and it does not limit the number of spiral turns.

[0072] After passing through the helical blades, the fluid exhibits a spiral motion. The helical blades have a simple structure, a good turbulence effect on the fluid, and low resistance, thus reducing energy loss when the fluid passes through.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The garment processing equipment includes a nozzle unit 200, which is connected to a door seal ring 60. That is, the door seal ring 60 provides mounting support for the nozzle unit 200.

[0074] The nozzle unit 200 includes a housing 201 located radially inside the door seal ring 60. The housing 201 forms a mixing space 20a and a spray nozzle 201b. The fluid from the first water path 40A and the fluid from the second water path 50A converge in the mixing space 20a, and the mixed fluid in the mixing space 20a is delivered to the clothing processing chamber through the spray nozzle 201b.

[0075] That is, both the first water path 40A and the second water path 50A are connected to the nozzle unit 200. The outlet ends of both the first water path 40A and the second water path 50A can supply fluid into the nozzle unit 200, so that the fluid in the first water path 40A and the fluid in the second water path 50A converge in the mixing space 20a and are discharged through the spray nozzle 201b on the housing 201. The nozzle unit 200 serves to collect the first water path 40A and the second water path 50A.

[0076] For example, the nozzle unit 200 further includes a first connector pipe 204 and a second connector pipe 205, both of which are connected to the housing portion 201. The space within the first connector pipe 204 forms part of a first water passage 40A, and the space within the second connector pipe 205 forms part of a second water passage 50A. The first water passage 40A supplies fluid to the nozzle unit 200 via the first connector pipe 204, and the second water passage 50A supplies fluid to the nozzle unit 200 via the second connector pipe 205.

[0077] The door seal ring 60 has a first mounting port and a second mounting port. A first connector tube 204 passes through the first mounting port, and a second connector tube 205 passes through the second mounting port. In this way, the circumferential position of the nozzle unit 200 relative to the door seal ring 60 is defined.

[0078] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The nozzle unit 200 includes a baffle 203 formed on the top side of the housing 201, and a first connector tube 204 and a second connector tube 205 formed on the same side of the baffle 203. When the nozzle unit 200 is installed, the baffle 203 can abut against the radially inner side of the door seal ring 60, defining the radial position of the nozzle unit 200 relative to the door seal ring 60.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The nozzle unit 200 includes a nozzle 202, which is disposed inside the mixing space 20a. The outlet of the nozzle 202 forms the water outlet of the second water path 50A, and the outlet of the nozzle 202 faces the water nozzle 201b.

[0080] The fluid in the second water channel 50A is ejected from the outlet of the nozzle 202, impacting the detergent mixture in the first water channel 40A within the mixing space 20a, and then directly enters the garment processing chamber through the spray nozzle 201b. In other words, the shape of the water outlet of the second water channel 50A is less attenuated within the mixing space 20a, and the fluid in the mixing space 20a is ejected in a shape similar to that when ejected from the outlet of the nozzle 202.

[0081] For example, the nozzle 202 has a narrowed section 22, and the turbulence structure 21 is disposed in the second connector pipe 205 and located upstream of the narrowed section 22. After passing through the turbulence structure 21 and the narrowed section 22, the fluid in the second water path 50A is sprayed out of the nozzle 202 with increased velocity and a circumferential velocity component. Thus, the water outlet morphology of the spray nozzle 201b can present a more visually appealing cone shape, and the sprayed mixed fluid is more dispersed, directly spraying onto the clothes to be treated, improving the cleaning effect.

[0082] The nozzle unit 200 can be a one-piece component, meaning that the housing 201, nozzle 202, baffle 203, first connector tube 204, and second connector tube 205 are integrally molded, for example, through injection molding or other processes. Of course, the nozzle unit 200 can also be a separate component, which is assembled after processing.

[0083] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The shell 201 has a flow channel 201a inside, which is connected to the mixing space 20a. The end of the flow channel 201a forms the outlet of the first water channel 40A.

[0084] As a specific implementation method, the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow guide channel 201a gradually increases along the flow direction of the fluid.

[0085] Understandably, the flow channel 201a has its largest cross-sectional area at the end closest to the mixing space 20a. When the fluid enters the shell 201, guided by the flow channel 201a, it tends to concentrate towards the end closest to the mixing space 20a, filling it as much as possible and mixing thoroughly with the fluid at the outlet of the second water channel 50A. This also reduces the velocity of the fluid entering the mixing space 20a from the first water channel 40A, making the impact effect of the fluid from the second water channel 50A more pronounced.

[0086] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7The water outlet cross-sectional area (reference point y) of the guide channel 201a is larger than the water outlet cross-sectional area (reference point x) of the nozzle 202, but smaller than the water outlet cross-sectional area (reference point z) of the spray nozzle 201b. This effectively suppresses backflow caused by excessive flow difference between the first water path 40A and the second water path 50A, thus preventing fluid in the mixing space 20a from flowing back into the first water path 40A as much as possible. Furthermore, the water outlet cross-sectional area of ​​the first water path 40A is larger than that of the second water path 50A, resulting in a larger contact area between the detergent components per unit volume and the fluid in the mixing space 20a when the detergent mixture enters the mixing space 20a from the first water path 40A. This promotes more uniform mixing and more complete dissolution of the detergent components.

[0087] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first connector tube 204 and the second connector tube 205 are arranged along a first direction R, and the shell portion 201 extends along the first direction R. The orientation of the first direction R is not limited; as an optional embodiment, in some embodiments, the first direction R is approximately tangential to the door seal ring 60.
