Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water resources and waste heat recovery technology for laundry equipment, and more specifically, to a water heat recovery device based on laundry equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A tunnel washing machine, also known as a washing machine with a washing drum, is a highly efficient industrial washing device widely used in large-scale laundry factories, hotels, hospitals, and other similar locations. Its core structure is a long tunnel composed of multiple interconnected washing compartments. Using a spiral conveyor system, clothing, sheets, and other textiles move automatically and continuously between these compartments. Through segmented program control, the washing machine sequentially completes multiple processes such as pre-washing, main washing, and rinsing of clothing, sheets, and other textiles, achieving automated assembly line production and offering significant advantages in water saving, energy conservation, and high efficiency.

[0003] A typical trolley system also includes a separate dehydrator. After rinsing, clothes, sheets, and other textiles exit from the end of the trolley and immediately enter the dehydrator for high-pressure dehydration. The dehydrator mechanically removes most of the water from the clothes, sheets, and other textiles, significantly reducing energy consumption and time in the subsequent drying process.

[0004] However, a common drawback of currently widely used trolley washing technology is the failure to effectively recycle and utilize wastewater generated during the washing and spin-drying processes. Specifically, trolleys discharge large amounts of heat-containing wastewater during each washing stage (especially the high-temperature main wash) and during the high-pressure spin-drying process in the dehydrator. This wastewater is usually discharged directly into the sewer without any treatment. This results in a huge waste of water resources during the washing process and a significant waste of the heat energy carried by the wastewater.

[0005] Therefore, how to recycle and utilize the wastewater and heat energy discharged from the washing machine and its matching dewatering machine to reduce the energy and water consumption of the washing process is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, this application provides a water heat recovery device based on a washing equipment to solve the technical problem of poor water and energy saving effect of tunnel washing machines in the prior art when performing washing operations.

[0013] Furthermore, the water heat recovery device based on the washing equipment includes a filtration pipeline and a filter installed on the filtration pipeline. The drain outlet of the rinsing zone and the drain outlet of the press dewatering machine are connected to the inlet of the water collection tank through the filtration pipeline. The filter includes a filter cylinder and a filter switching assembly. The filter cylinder has a filter cylinder inlet and a filter cylinder outlet. The filter cylinder inlet is connected to the drain outlet of the rinsing zone and the drain outlet of the press dewatering machine. The filter cylinder outlet is connected to the inlet of the water collection tank. The filter switching assembly includes a rotating shaft and four filter plates sequentially connected to the outer circumference of the rotating shaft at 90° equal angular intervals. The filter plates are provided with filter holes and filter hole blocking mechanisms. Any one of the four filter plates can be in the filtration working position. The filter plate in the filtration working position is vertically arranged and located directly below the filter plate forming a 180° angle with it. The three filter plates not in the filtration working position are respectively in sealed contact with the filter cylinder and are in filtration working position.

The filter plate in the working position is located in the filter cavity and between the filter cylinder inlet and the filter cylinder outlet. The filter includes an elastic holding mechanism disposed on the inner side of the filter cylinder. When the fluid entering the filter cavity from the filter cylinder inlet flows out through the filter plate in the working position and the filter cylinder outlet, if the resistance of the filter plate in the working position to the fluid is less than a predetermined value, the elastic holding mechanism limits the filter plate in the working position to the working position.

[0016] Furthermore, the upper part of the filter cartridge forms a cavity with a semi-circular cross-section, and the lower part of the filter cartridge forms a cavity with a rectangular cross-section.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the hydrothermal recovery device based on washing equipment provided in this application are as follows: Compared to existing technologies, the water heat recovery device based on washing equipment provided by this invention collects water discharged from the rinsing zone and the press dewatering machine through a water collection tank and delivers it to the cold water chamber of the distribution tank for replenishing water in the pre-wash zone. Simultaneously, the hot water chamber of the distribution tank uses the heat from the condensation of high-temperature steam to raise the water temperature to a suitable level for the main wash (e.g., from around 30°C to 60-70°C), thus providing preheated washing water for the main wash zone and significantly reducing the energy consumption required for steam heating during the main wash process. A one-way valve between the cold and hot water chambers ensures that water can only flow from the cold water chamber to the hot water chamber, achieving automatic water balance and replenishment.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 9 This application provides a water heat recovery device based on a washing machine, wherein the water heat recovery device based on the washing machine includes: The tunnel washing machine 100 and the press dehydrator 1, the tunnel washing machine 100 includes a pre-wash zone 101, a main wash zone 102 and a rinsing zone 103 connected in sequence; Water collection tank 2, the water inlet of water collection tank 2 is connected to the drain outlet of rinsing zone 103 and the drain outlet of press dewatering machine 1 respectively; The water distribution tank 200 has a hot water chamber 201 and a cold water chamber 202 that are separated from each other.

Simultaneously, the hot water chamber 201 of the distribution water tank 200 uses the heat from the condensation of high-temperature steam to raise the water temperature in the hot water chamber 201 to a suitable temperature for the main wash (e.g., from around 30°C to 60-70°C), thus providing preheated washing water for the main wash zone 102, significantly reducing the energy consumption required for steam heating during the main wash process. A one-way valve 3 between the cold water chamber 202 and the hot water chamber 201 ensures that water can only flow from the cold water chamber 202 to the hot water chamber 201, achieving automatic water balance and replenishment. The entire device has a compact structure, realizes multi-stage recovery and utilization of wastewater and waste heat, and has significant energy-saving effects.

[0029] According to one embodiment of this application, a tunnel-type washing machine 100 includes a plurality of (e.g., 3 to 4) pre-wash chambers 104, a plurality of (e.g., 5 to 7) main wash chambers 105, and (e.g., 3 to 4) a plurality of rinsing chambers 106.

Additionally, the pre-washing process also acts as a soaking agent, causing these impurities to swell, especially some protein-based substances. The water from the pre-wash is discarded. Detergent and warm water are added to each main wash compartment 105 in the main wash zone 102. The temperature in each compartment is gradually increased and maintained, typically requiring about 12 minutes for the main wash.

[0031] According to one embodiment of this application, the water heat recovery device based on the washing equipment further includes a dryer 6 and an ironing machine 7. Both the dryer 6 and the ironing machine 7 have condensate drain outlets. The condensate drain outlets of the dryer 6 and the ironing machine 7 are connected to the water vapor condensate recovery pipe 4.

The first temperature sensor is used to monitor the water temperature in the cold water chamber 202, and the second temperature sensor is used to monitor the water temperature in the hot water chamber 201. The main controller can automatically control the opening and closing of each valve and the opening degree according to a preset temperature threshold and liquid level logic, thereby optimizing water distribution and heat exchange efficiency.

[0035] Considering that the washing wastewater may contain impurities such as lint, cotton fibers, and thread ends, directly feeding it into the distribution tank 200 may clog the pipes or affect the heat exchange effect. Therefore, this embodiment adds a filtration stage at the inlet of the water collection tank 2. According to a preferred embodiment of this application, the water heat recovery device based on the washing equipment includes a filter pipe 26 and a filter 300 installed on the filter pipe 26. The drain outlets of the rinsing zone 103 and the press dewatering machine 1 are connected to the inlet of the water collection tank 2 through the filter pipe 26. Specifically, the first pipe 10 and the second pipe 11 are both connected to the filter pipe 26. The filter 300 includes a filter cylinder 301 and a filter switching assembly.

The filtration switching assembly includes a rotating shaft 304 and four filter plates 305 connected sequentially at 90° equal angles to the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 304. The filter plates 305 are provided with filter holes 318 and filter hole blocking mechanisms. The filter plates 305 are preferably detachably installed on the rotating shaft 304. Any one of the four filter plates 305 can be in the filtration working position. The filter plate 305 in the filtration working position is vertically arranged and located directly below the filter plate 305 at a 180° angle to it. The three filter plates 305 not in the filtration working position are... 05 are in sealed contact with the filter cartridge 301. The filter holes 318 of the filter plate 305 in the filtration working position are not blocked by the corresponding filter hole blocking mechanism. The filter holes 318 of the three filter plates 305 not in the filtration working position are blocked by the corresponding filter hole blocking mechanism to prevent the water flow in the filter cartridge from contaminating the filter holes 318 of the three filter plates 305 not in the filtration working position. This ensures that the filter plates 305 switched to the filtration working position later have not been used or have been basically unused. The two adjacent filter plates 305 in the filtration working position and the filter cartridge 301 form a filter cavity 317. The filter cartridge inlet 302 and the filter cartridge outlet 303 are respectively connected to the filter cavity 317. The filter plate 305 is located inside the filter chamber 317 and between the filter cartridge inlet 302 and the filter cartridge outlet 303. The filter 300 includes an elastic retaining mechanism disposed inside the filter cartridge 301. When the fluid entering the filter chamber 317 from the filter cartridge inlet 302 flows out through the filter plate 305 in the filtration working position and the filter cartridge outlet 303, if the resistance of the filter plate 305 in the filtration working position to the fluid is less than a predetermined value, the elastic retaining mechanism will limit the filter plate 305 in the filtration working position to the filtration working position. If the resistance of the filter plate 305 in the filtration working position to the fluid is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, the filter plate 305 in the filtration working position will rotate toward the filter cartridge outlet 303 under the push of the fluid.

[0036] According to a preferred embodiment of this application, a filter hole blocking mechanism is provided on both sides of the filter plate 305 in the thickness direction, which can completely block both ends of the filter hole 318 of the filter plate 305, further ensuring that the water flow in the filter cylinder 301 contaminates the filter holes 318 of the three filter plates 305 that are not in the filtration working position.

[0037] According to a specific embodiment of this application, the filter hole blocking mechanism includes a blocking plate 306 slidably connected to the filter plate 305. The blocking plate 306 is elastically engaged with the filter plate 305 via a first elastic member. The blocking plate 306 is connected to a first magnetic member 308, such as a magnetic rod. The upper inner side of the filter cylinder 301 is covered with a second magnetic member 309 (such as a whole magnetic plate). The blocking plates 306 on the filter plates 305 in the working position are positioned above the corresponding filter holes 318 under the traction force of the corresponding first elastic member. The first magnetic members 308 on the filter plates 305 not in the working position are magnetically attracted by the second magnetic members 309, so as to drive the corresponding blocking plates 306 to slide against the traction force of the corresponding first elastic members and block the corresponding filter holes 318. Specifically, each filter plate 305... The filter plate 305 has multiple rows of filter holes 318. Each row of filter holes 318 is equipped with a baffle plate 306. The baffle plates 306 are connected by a connecting rod 310. The end of the connecting rod 310 is connected to a first magnetic suction member 308. A sliding mating cavity 311 is formed on the filter plate 305. The connecting rod 310 has a sliding rod 312 that extends into the sliding mating cavity 311 and is slidably limited in the sliding mating cavity 311. The first elastic member is a first spring 307 installed in the sliding mating cavity 311. One end of the first spring 307 is connected to the inner wall of the sliding mating cavity 311, and the other end of the first spring 307 is connected to the sliding rod 312. Specifically, the sliding rod 312 is a T-shaped rod. The cross-section of the sliding mating cavity 311 is a T-shape that matches the T-shaped rod, so that the T-shaped head of the sliding rod 312 is slidably limited in the sliding mating cavity 311.

[0038] According to a specific embodiment of this application, grooves 313 are formed on both sides of the filter plate 305 in the width direction. The elastic holding mechanism includes a locking head 316 that is telescopically disposed inside the filter cylinder 301 by a second elastic member. The locking head 316 is inserted into the groove 313 of the filter plate 305 in the filtration working position by the pushing force of the second elastic member. A telescopic cavity 315 is formed inside the filter cylinder 301. The second elastic member is a second spring 314 installed in the telescopic cavity 315. One end of the second spring 314 is connected to the bottom wall of the telescopic cavity 315, and the other end of the second spring 314 is connected to the locking head 316. The end of the locking head 316 facing the groove 313 forms an arc-shaped convex surface. The locking head 316 moves telescopically along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 304 by the elastic force of the second spring 314. The resistance of the filter plate 305 in the filtration working position to the fluid is greater than or equal to When the preset value is reached, the force of the filter plate 305 pressing the clamp 316 increases, causing the clamp 316 to overcome the elastic force of the second spring 314 and retract into the telescopic cavity 315. In this way, the clamp 316 is no longer stuck in the groove 313 of the filter plate 305 in the filtration working position. Driven by the fluid, it rotates toward the filter cartridge outlet 303. The other filter plate 305 that was originally adjacent will rotate to the filtration working position to continue to perform filtration work. This can ensure the working stability and continuity of the filter 300, without the need for frequent replacement of the filter plate 305, and can realize the automatic replacement (switching) of the filter plate 305. When the originally blocked filter plate 305 rotates to the top position of the four filter plates 305, it enters the position to be replaced. An inspection door can be opened at the top of the filter cartridge 301 to facilitate the replacement of the top blocked filter plate 305 of the four filter plates 305.

[0039] According to a specific embodiment of this application, the upper part of the filter cylinder 301 forms a cavity with a semi-circular cross-section, and the lower part of the filter cylinder 301 forms a cavity with a rectangular cross-section. Because the rotation trajectory of the four filter plates 305 is arc-shaped, this design can ensure that the three filter plates 305 not in the filtration working position are in sealed contact with the semi-circular cavity at the upper part of the filter cylinder 301.

It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, such as combining different features in various embodiments, and these should all fall within the protection scope of this application.
