Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As an important accessory for daily wear, hats accumulate dirt, sweat, grease, bacteria, and other stains on their surface and inside over time. Therefore, they need to be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure cleanliness and hygiene.

[0003] In related technologies, the methods for cleaning hats are relatively simple, with the mainstream method being to directly put the hat into a traditional washing machine for washing. However, there are problems. On the one hand, the high-speed rotation of the inner drum of a traditional washing machine, the strong impact of the water flow, and the mutual squeezing and tangling of clothes can easily damage the hat. On the other hand, the water rinsing method of traditional washing machines is not strong enough to clean stains, making it difficult to remove stains and resulting in poor cleaning effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the related technologies, this application provides a clothing processing device to solve the problems of easy damage to hats and poor cleaning effect when washing hats in the related technologies.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a garment processing apparatus, which includes: shell; A cylindrical assembly, disposed within the housing, the cylindrical assembly comprising: The inner cylinder has an opening at one axial end and a washing chamber is formed inside the inner cylinder. A hat support assembly is disposed inside the washing chamber and connected to one end of the outer shell facing the opening of the tub. The hat support assembly includes a hat support for covering the hat to be washed on its outside. A scrubbing assembly is disposed in the inner drum and located within the washing chamber; A drive assembly, disposed on the outer casing and located at the other axial end of the inner cylinder, the drive assembly comprising: Drive components; The first clutch includes an input component and an output component arranged coaxially. The input component and the output component are connected by a mating surface inclined relative to the axis. The input component is connected to the driving component, and the output component is connected to the inner cylinder. The first clutch and the inner cylinder are arranged coaxially. The driving member is used to drive the input member to rotate about the axis of the first clutch. The first clutch is configured to drive the output member to rotate about the axis of the first clutch through the rotation of the input member, and to drive the output member to move along the axial direction of the first clutch when the input member and the output member rotate relative to each other, so as to drive the inner cylinder to rotate circumferentially and move axially. The brushing assembly is configured to brush the hat on the hat support through the relative movement of the inner cylinder and the hat support. The input component has a first mating surface, and the output component has a second mating surface that matches the shape of the first mating surface. The first mating surface and the second mating surface are arranged facing each other.

[0006] With this setup, when the hat needs washing, it can be placed on the outside of the hat support to secure and support it. After the hat is in place, the input component of the first clutch is driven to rotate by the drive component. The rotating input component drives the output component of the first clutch to rotate through the inclined mating surface, which in turn drives the inner cylinder to rotate circumferentially. When the input and output components rotate relative to each other due to the difference in rotation speed, the rotating input component drives the output component to move axially along the first clutch through the inclined mating surface, which in turn drives the inner cylinder to move axially. This allows the inner cylinder to move axially on top of circumferential rotation, thus creating relative movement between the inner cylinder and the hat support in both the circumferential and axial directions. The brushing components on the inner cylinder can then brush the hat on the hat support through the relative movement of the inner cylinder and the hat support.

[0007] As can be seen from the above description, on the one hand, since the hat can be fixed and supported by the hat support, the hat can be supported and shaped during the washing process, thus preventing the hat from being damaged due to compression or tangling; on the other hand, compared with related technologies, using a brushing component to brush the hat while fixing it with a hat support can improve the cleaning power of stains, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the hat and making it easier to clean stains.

[0008] Optionally, the first mating surface includes a concave segment and a convex segment connected together. The concave segment is recessed in a direction away from the second mating surface, and the convex segment is protruded in a direction close to the second mating surface. Both the concave segment and the convex segment are inclined relative to the axis of the first clutch, and the concave segment and the convex segment are alternately distributed in the circumferential direction of the inner cylinder.

[0009] With this configuration, since the first and second mating surfaces, which mesh with each other through the concave and convex sections, not only have friction but also abut against each other in the circumferential direction, when the driving component drives the input component to rotate around the axis of the first clutch, the input component can transmit torque to the output component through the friction between the first and second mating surfaces and the abutment in the circumferential direction, thereby driving the output component to rotate around the axis of the first clutch, and thus driving the inner cylinder to rotate along its own circumferential direction.

[0010] When the input and output components rotate relative to each other, the convex section of the first mating surface that abuts against the second mating surface can slide from the concave section to the convex section of the second mating surface, and at the same time, the convex section of the second mating surface that abuts against the first mating surface can slide from the concave section to the convex section of the first mating surface. During this process, the input component can not only transmit torque to the output component to drive the output component to rotate around the axis of the first clutch, but also apply thrust to the output component to drive the output component to move along the axial direction of the first clutch, thereby driving the inner cylinder to rotate circumferentially and move axially.

[0011] As can be seen from the above description, the first and second mating surfaces, which are composed of alternating concave and convex sections, can drive the inner cylinder to rotate circumferentially and move axially. Therefore, relative motion in both axial and circumferential dimensions can be formed between the brushing component and the hat surface. This helps to make the brushing effect of the brushing component close to that of hand washing and helps to solve problems such as hat abrasion and inability to clean dead corners caused by traditional single-dimensional brushing.

[0012] Optionally, the top end of the convex segment of the first mating surface and the top end of the convex segment of the second mating surface each have an abutting step. The abutting step is configured such that when the input member and the output member rotate relative to each other until the top ends of the convex segments are opposite to each other, the corresponding abutting steps of the first mating surface and the second mating surface abut against each other to prevent the input member and the output member from rotating relative to each other.

[0013] With this configuration, since the abutting steps corresponding to the first and second mating surfaces abut against each other, the input and output components can be prevented from rotating relative to each other, thus keeping the first clutch in a locked state. Therefore, the relative rotation loss of the rotational driving force output by the drive component can be avoided, and the rotational driving force output by the drive component can be transmitted to the output component to the maximum extent and drive the inner cylinder to rotate. As a result, the inner cylinder can obtain a higher and more stable speed under the same driving power. This working condition is used for the spin-drying of hats.

[0014] To disengage the first clutch, the input component's rotational speed can be reduced to be lower than the output component's rotational speed, thus achieving deceleration. At this time, the inner drum reverses direction relative to the input component. Simultaneously, during deceleration, the inner drum vibrates rapidly due to the action of the first clutch, producing an effect similar to manual squeezing and rubbing. Through multiple deceleration processes, the spin-drying cycle is eventually completely completed, and the first clutch disengages. This unique deceleration process does not require high spin-drying speeds, which helps reduce vibration and noise while improving spin-drying efficiency.

[0015] In summary, by setting the rotational speed curve of the input component, the entire process of brushing and spin-drying the hat can be achieved. The drive component only changes its rotational speed throughout the entire process, always rotating in one direction. Therefore, it offers significant advantages in terms of motor thermal efficiency, mechanical impact, and system complexity.

[0016] Optionally, the hat support assembly further includes: A connecting shaft, one end of which is connected to the cap support; The second clutch is connected to the other end of the connecting shaft. The second clutch has a rotational constraint force on the connecting shaft that restricts the connecting shaft from rotating about the axis of the first clutch. The second clutch is configured to change the magnitude of the rotational constraint force as the inner cylinder moves a distance in its own axial direction, so that the cap support is in a fixed state or a rotating state that follows the rotation of the inner cylinder.

[0017] With this configuration, the rotating inner cylinder can apply rotational driving force to the hat support through the friction between the brushing assembly and the hat, as well as the friction between the hat and the hat support. Therefore, during the movement of the inner cylinder along its own axis, when the rotational constraint force of the second clutch is greater than the rotational driving force of the inner cylinder, the rotation of the connecting shaft is locked, and the hat support is in a fixed state, remaining stationary. At this time, it is convenient for the inner cylinder to drive the brushing assembly to perform deep brushing on the hat fitted on the hat support.

[0018] When the rotational constraint force of the second clutch is less than the rotational driving force of the inner cylinder, the inner cylinder can not only drive the brushing component to brush the hat on the hat support, but also drive the hat support and the connecting shaft to rotate. This can change the phase angle of the hat support and change the relative position of the hat on the hat support in the circumferential direction. This helps to avoid the situation where some parts of the hat on the hat support are not brushed enough or not brushed at all, and helps to brush the hat more evenly.

[0019] When the second clutch does not have a rotational constraint force on the connecting shaft, the inner cylinder can drive the hat support to rotate synchronously with it, which is used for drying the hat.

[0020] Optionally, the second clutch includes: Clutch components; A friction element is provided on the side of the clutch component away from the cap support in the axial direction of the inner cylinder. A friction spring is provided on the side of the friction element facing the clutch component, and the friction spring is used to make frictional contact with the clutch component. The friction element is connected to the other end of the connecting shaft so that the inner cylinder drives the friction element to move relative to the clutch component through the cap support and the connecting shaft. Wherein, the friction element is configured to prevent the cap support from rotating with the inner cylinder when the frictional force between the friction spring and the clutch element is greater than the driving force that drives the cap support to rotate, so that the cap support is in the fixed state; The friction element is further configured to cause the cap support to rotate with the inner cylinder when the friction force between the friction spring and the clutch is less than the driving force, or when the friction spring and the clutch are in a frictionless state, so that the cap support is in the rotating state.

[0021] With this configuration, the axial movement of the inner cylinder drives the friction component to move relative to the clutch component, which adjusts the pressure between the friction spring and the clutch component, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the friction force generated on their contact surfaces. When the friction force between the friction spring and the clutch component is greater than the driving force of the inner cylinder driving the cap support to rotate, the friction force helps to lock the connecting shaft from rotating, making it easier for the cap support to remain stationary and thus keep it in a fixed state. When the friction force is less than the driving force of the inner cylinder, or when the friction spring disengages from the clutch component and loses frictional contact, the friction constraint is released, allowing the inner cylinder to drive the cap support to rotate, thus facilitating the switching of the cap support from a fixed state to a rotating state.

[0022] As can be seen from the above description, the automatic switching of the start and stop of the hat support rotation is achieved by the change of friction force in conjunction with the axial displacement. There is no need to set up a separate electric control switch and drive components. The structure is simple and reliable, the working condition switching is smooth, and the friction spring can continuously adjust the friction force to adapt to small pressure changes, which has strong fault tolerance.

[0023] Optionally, the inner cylinder is used to drive the friction element away from the clutch element via the cap support and the connecting shaft, and the second clutch further includes: A reset member is disposed on the side of the friction member opposite to the clutch member and abuts against the friction member. The reset member is used to drive the friction member to move closer to the clutch member. The reset member is also configured to drive the inner cylinder and the output member to move in the opposite direction along the axial direction of the inner cylinder and reset via the connecting shaft and the cap support.

[0024] This design allows the friction element to move closer to the clutch element via the reset element, facilitating a quick restoration of the friction contact between the friction spring and the clutch element. This, in turn, allows the cap support to quickly return from a rotating state to a fixed state, making it easier to clean the cap for the next cycle or to clean another cap next time.

[0025] On the other hand, when the rotational speed of the input component driven by the drive component is equal to or less than the rotational speed of the output component, the output component is driven to move in the opposite direction to reset by the reset component. This allows the inclined mating surface of the first clutch to return to its initial contact position, and also allows the inner cylinder to move in the opposite direction to reset. Therefore, through the combined action of the drive component, the first clutch, and the reset component, the reciprocating axial movement of the inner cylinder can be achieved, which in turn allows the inner cylinder to drive the brushing assembly to reciprocate to brush the cap along the axial direction, thereby improving the cleanliness of the cap.

[0026] Optionally, the outer surface of the hat support has a brushing structure configured to brush the inside of the hat as the hat rotates relative to the hat support in the circumferential direction of the inner cylinder.

[0027] With this configuration, as the inner drum moves axially, when the friction between the brushing components and the hat increases to the point that the inner drum can cause the hat to rotate relative to the hat support, the brushing structure on the outer surface of the hat support can cooperate with the brushing components on the inner side of the inner drum to brush the inner and outer sides of the hat respectively. This facilitates all-round cleaning of the hat and improves the cleanliness of the hat.

[0028] Optionally, the housing includes: The shell body has an opening that corresponds to the opening of the cylinder. A door is provided at the opening, and the door is used to open or close the opening; The cap support assembly is disposed on the door body, and the cap support is detachably disposed relative to the door body; wherein, when the door body is closed, the cap support is located inside the washing chamber.

[0029] With this design, the hat support component is placed on the door. When the door is opened, the hat support will move out of the device along with the door. The hat can be easily put on the outside of the hat support or the washed hat can be taken off without having to reach into the narrow cavity. The operation is simple and effortless.

[0030] On the other hand, the hat support is detachable, which allows for the replacement of hat supports of different styles and sizes to fit different hats, making the device more versatile.

[0031] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the inner peripheral wall of the inner cylinder is non-circular, and the inner peripheral wall has a maximum distance position; in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the inner cylinder, the distance between the maximum distance position and the axis of the inner cylinder is greater than the distance between other positions on the inner peripheral wall and the axis of the inner cylinder; wherein, the cross-section is perpendicular to the axial direction of the inner cylinder; The scrubbing assembly includes an inner peripheral wall scrubbing component, which is positioned at the maximum distance location.

[0032] With this configuration, when the inner peripheral wall brush is a flexible brush such as a bristle brush, placing the inner peripheral wall brush at the maximum distance position allows the brush to have a relatively large radial dimension in the inner cylinder. Since the relatively large radial dimension allows the inner peripheral wall brush to have a relatively large deformation space in the radial direction, it can accommodate more sizes of caps, thereby enhancing the versatility of the device.

[0033] Optionally, the cross-section of the inner peripheral wall is a rounded polygon, and the maximum distance position is located at the rounded corner of the rounded polygon; Multiple inner peripheral wall cleaning components are provided, and each inner peripheral wall cleaning component is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the rounded corner of the rounded polygon.

[0034] This design, with a rounded polygonal cross-section for the inner wall, facilitates symmetrical distribution of the overall contour along the circumference, ensuring uniform mass distribution during rotation and mitigating swaying issues caused by eccentric rotation. Furthermore, the rounded corners eliminate stress concentration caused by sharp angles, preventing excessive local stress from leading to wall cracking and deformation, thus enhancing the overall structural strength and lifespan of the inner cylinder.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] As described in the background section of this application, hats are important accessories for daily wear. Over time, dust, sweat, grease, bacteria and other stains accumulate on the surface and inside of hats, so they need to be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure that they are clean and hygienic.

[0042] In related technologies, the methods for cleaning hats are relatively simple, with the mainstream method being to directly put the hat into a traditional washing machine for washing. However, there are problems. On the one hand, the high-speed rotation of the inner drum of a traditional washing machine, the strong impact of the water flow, and the mutual squeezing and tangling of clothes can easily damage the hat. On the other hand, the water rinsing method of traditional washing machines is not strong enough to clean stains, making it difficult to remove stains and resulting in poor cleaning effect.

[0043] In view of the above-mentioned problems, this application provides a clothing processing device to solve the problems of easy damage to hats and poor washing effect when washing hats in related technologies.

[0044] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings: In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the garment handling device includes a housing 1 and a tubular assembly 2. The tubular assembly 2 is disposed inside the housing 1, and the tubular assembly 2 includes an inner tubular 21. The axial direction of the inner tubular 21 (e.g., Figure 2 The inner cylinder 21 has a cylinder opening 213 at one end (in the X direction) and a washing chamber 211 is formed inside the inner cylinder 21.

[0045] This design serves two purposes. First, the outer casing 1 provides a stable platform for housing and assembling the various components within the device, ensuring that each component can be precisely positioned according to its preset location, thus laying a structural foundation for the overall operation of the device. Second, the washing chamber 211 formed inside the inner drum 21 provides an independent space for washing clothes, ensuring the orderly progress of the washing process.

[0046] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the garment handling device also includes a cap support assembly 3, which is disposed inside the washing chamber 211 and connected to the end of the outer casing 1 facing the drum opening 213, as shown. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the hat support assembly 3 includes a hat support 31, which is used to cover the hat 4 to be washed on its outside.

[0047] With this configuration, the hat 4, which is covered on the outside, can be fixed and supported by the hat support 31. In this way, during the washing process, the hat 4 can be supported and shaped by the hat support 31, thereby preventing the hat 4 from being damaged by compression or entanglement.

[0048] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the garment handling device also includes a scrubbing assembly 5, which is disposed in the inner drum 21 and located inside the washing chamber 211.

[0049] With this setup, the hat 4 on the hat support 31 can be brushed and washed using the brushing component 5, which helps to improve the cleanliness of the hat 4.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the garment handling device also includes a drive assembly 6, which is disposed on the outer casing 1 and located axially on the inner cylinder 21 (e.g., Figure 2 At the other end (in the X direction), the drive assembly 6 includes a drive element 61 and a first clutch 62, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the first clutch 62 includes an input component 621 and an output component 622 arranged coaxially along axis L. The input component 621 and the output component 622 are connected by a mating surface 623 that is inclined relative to the axis L. The input component 621 is connected to the drive component 61, and the output component 622 is connected to the inner cylinder 21. The first clutch 62 and the inner cylinder 21 are arranged coaxially.

[0051] The drive member 61 is used to drive the input member 621 to rotate around the axis L of the first clutch 62. The first clutch 62 is configured to drive the output member 622 to rotate around the axis L of the first clutch 62 through the rotation of the input member 621, and to drive the output member 622 to move along the axial direction of the first clutch 62 when the input member 621 and the output member 622 rotate relative to each other, so as to drive the inner cylinder 21 to rotate circumferentially and move axially. The brushing assembly 5 is configured to brush the hat 4 on the hat support 31 through the relative movement of the inner cylinder 21 and the hat support 31.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, the input component 621 is provided with a first mating surface 6231, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the output component 622 is provided with a second mating surface 6232 that matches the shape of the first mating surface 6231, and the first mating surface 6231 and the second mating surface 6232 are arranged facing each other.

[0053] With this configuration, when cleaning the hat 4, the input component 621 of the first clutch 62 can be driven to rotate by the drive component 61. The rotating input component 621 will drive the output component 622 of the first clutch 62 to rotate through the inclined mating surface 623. In turn, the output component 622 can drive the inner cylinder 21 to rotate circumferentially. When the input component 621 and the output component 622 rotate relative to each other due to the difference in rotation speed, the rotating input component 621 will drive the output component 622 to move axially along the first clutch 62 through the inclined mating surface 623. In turn, the inner cylinder 21 can move axially along its own axis. This allows the inner cylinder 21 to move circumferentially and then axially, so that the inner cylinder 21 and the hat support 31 can generate relative movement in the circumferential and axial directions of the inner cylinder 21. The brushing component 5 on the inner cylinder 21 can brush the hat 4 on the hat support 31 through the relative movement of the inner cylinder 21 and the hat support 31.

[0054] As can be seen from the above description, compared with related technologies, the addition of the brushing component 5 to brush the hat 4 on the basis of fixing the hat 4 with the hat support 31 can improve the cleaning power of the stains, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the hat 4 and making it easier to clean the stains.

[0055] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the garment handling device includes a housing 1, a tubular assembly 2, a cap support assembly 3, a brushing assembly 5, and a drive assembly 6, as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cylinder assembly 2 is disposed inside the outer casing 1, and the cylinder assembly 2 includes an inner cylinder 21, the axial direction of the inner cylinder 21 (as shown in the figure) is as follows: Figure 2 One end of the inner cylinder 21 (in the X direction) has an opening 213, and a washing chamber 211 is formed inside the inner cylinder 21. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the cap support assembly 3 is disposed inside the washing chamber 211 and connected to the end of the outer casing 1 facing the opening 213, as shown. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the hat support assembly 3 includes a hat support 31, which is used to cover the hat 4 to be washed on its outside. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the scrubbing assembly 5 is disposed in the inner drum 21 and located inside the washing chamber 211.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 6 is disposed on the outer casing 1 and located at the other axial end of the inner cylinder 21. The drive assembly 6 includes a drive member 61 and a first clutch 62, as shown. Figure 5As shown, the first clutch 62 includes an input component 621 and an output component 622 arranged coaxially along axis L. The input component 621 and the output component 622 are connected by a mating surface 623 that is inclined relative to the axis L. The input component 621 is connected to the drive component 61, and the output component 622 is connected to the inner cylinder 21. The first clutch 62 and the inner cylinder 21 are arranged coaxially.

[0057] The drive member 61 is used to drive the input member 621 to rotate around the axis L of the first clutch 62. The first clutch 62 is configured to drive the output member 622 to rotate around the axis L of the first clutch 62 through the rotation of the input member 621, and to drive the output member 622 to move along the axial direction of the first clutch 62 when the input member 621 and the output member 622 rotate relative to each other, so as to drive the inner cylinder 21 to rotate circumferentially and move axially. The brushing assembly 5 is configured to brush the hat 4 on the hat support 31 through the relative movement of the inner cylinder 21 and the hat support 31.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, the input component 621 is provided with a first mating surface 6231, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the output component 622 is provided with a second mating surface 6232 that matches the shape of the first mating surface 6231, and the first mating surface 6231 and the second mating surface 6232 are arranged facing each other.

[0059] With this setup, when the hat 4 needs to be washed, it can be placed over the outside of the hat support 31 to fix and support it. After the hat 4 is installed, the input part 621 of the first clutch 62 is driven to rotate by the drive part 61. The rotating input part 621 will drive the output part 622 of the first clutch 62 to rotate through the inclined mating surface 623. In turn, the output part 622 can drive the inner cylinder 21 to rotate circumferentially. When the input part 621 and the output part 622 rotate relative to each other due to the difference in rotation speed, the rotating input part 621 will drive the output part 622 to move axially along the first clutch 62 through the inclined mating surface 623. In turn, the inner cylinder 21 can move axially along its own axis. This allows the inner cylinder 21 to move circumferentially and then axially, so that the inner cylinder 21 and the hat support 31 can have relative movement in the circumferential and axial directions. The brushing component 5 on the inner cylinder 21 can brush the hat 4 on the hat support 31 through the relative movement of the inner cylinder 21 and the hat support 31.

[0060] As can be seen from the above description, on the one hand, since the hat 4, which is covered on the outside, can be fixed and supported by the hat support 31, the hat 4 can be supported and shaped by the hat support 31 during the washing process, thereby preventing the hat 4 from being damaged due to compression or entanglement; on the other hand, compared with related technologies, the hat 4 can be fixed by the hat support 31 and then brushed by the brushing component 5, which can improve the cleaning power of the stains and thus improve the cleaning effect of the hat 4, which is conducive to cleaning the stains.

[0061] In this embodiment, the driving component 61 can be an electric motor, a hydraulic motor, or a pneumatic motor, etc. The type of driving component 61 is flexible and can be selected according to actual needs. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0062] In this embodiment, the garment processing device can be a washing machine, and the washing machine has a dedicated module for washing hats; or, the garment processing device is a dedicated hat washing device. This embodiment does not specifically limit the application scenario of the garment processing device.

[0063] In this embodiment of the application, the hat 4 can be a brimless round hat, a hexagonal hat, etc. The specific type of hat 4 is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

[0064] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cylinder assembly 2 also includes an outer cylinder 22, and an inner cylinder 21 is disposed inside the outer cylinder 22.

[0065] With this configuration, on the one hand, the outer drum 22 can bear the force generated by the inner drum 21 during operation, ensuring the stable operation of the inner drum 21; on the other hand, the outer drum 22 can store the washing water during the washing process, preventing the washing water from leaking and ensuring the normal operation of the washing work, while also realizing the water supply and drainage functions.

[0066] The overall dynamic balance of this application is stable. The top opening of the inner cylinder 21 is connected to the outer cylinder 22 through a bearing, and the bottom is also connected to the outer cylinder 22 through a bearing. It does not adopt a cantilever structure and does not require traditional suspension components.

[0067] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first mating surface 6231 includes a concave section 6233 and a convex section 6234 connected to each other. The concave section 6233 is recessed in a direction away from the second mating surface 6232, and the convex section 6234 is protruding in a direction close to the second mating surface 6232. Both the concave section 6233 and the convex section 6234 are inclined relative to the axis L of the first clutch 62, and the concave section 6233 and the convex section 6234 are circumferentially aligned with the inner cylinder 21 (e.g., ...). Figure 3 Alternating distribution along the C direction (in the middle).

[0068] With this configuration, since the first mating surface 6231 and the second mating surface 6232, which mesh with each other through the concave section 6233 and the convex section 6234, not only have friction but also abut against each other in the circumferential direction, when the driving member 61 drives the input member 621 to rotate around the axis L of the first clutch 62, the input member 621 can transmit torque to the output member 622 through the friction between the first mating surface 6231 and the second mating surface 6232 and the abutment in the circumferential direction, so as to drive the output member 622 to rotate around the axis L of the first clutch 62, thereby driving the inner cylinder 21 to rotate along its own circumferential direction.

[0069] When the input component 621 and the output component 622 rotate relative to each other, the convex section 6234 of the first mating surface 6231 that abuts against the second mating surface 6232 can slide from the concave section 6233 of the second mating surface 6232 to the convex section 6234. At the same time, the convex section 6234 of the second mating surface 6232 that abuts against the first mating surface 6231 can slide from the concave section 6233 of the first mating surface 6231 to the convex section 6234. During this process, the input component 621 can not only transmit torque to the output component 622 to drive the output component 622 to rotate around the axis L of the first clutch 62, but also apply thrust to the output component 622 to drive the output component 622 to move along the axial direction of the first clutch 62, thereby driving the inner cylinder 21 to rotate circumferentially and move axially.

[0070] As can be seen from the above statements, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first mating surface 6231 and the second mating surface 6232, which are composed of alternating concave segments 6233 and convex segments 6234, can drive the inner cylinder 21 to rotate in its circumference and move in its axial direction. Therefore, relative motion in two dimensions, axial and circumferential, can be formed between the surface of the brushing component 5 and the cap 4. This is beneficial to make the brushing of the brushing component 5 close to the effect of hand washing, and helps to solve the problems of abrasion of the cap 4 and inability to clean dead corners caused by traditional single-dimensional brushing.

[0071] In some alternative embodiments, the input member 621 is provided with a helical inclined surface, which is helically arranged around the axis L of the first clutch 62, and the helical inclined surface forms a first mating surface 6231. The output member 622 is provided with an abutting rod, the outer peripheral surface of which abuts against the helical inclined surface, and the outer peripheral surface of the abutting rod forms a second mating surface 6232.

[0072] With this configuration, when the driving component 61 drives the input component 621 to rotate, the rotating input component 621 will drive the abutment rod to slide along the spiral inclined plane. This not only drives the output component 622 to rotate, but also drives the output component 622 to move axially. In turn, it can also easily drive the inner cylinder 21 to rotate circumferentially and move axially.

[0073] In other embodiments, the mating surface 623 that enables the input component 621 and the output component 622 to connect can also be any other structure, and this application embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0074] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the top end of the convex segment 6234 of the first mating surface 6231 and the top end of the convex segment 6234 of the second mating surface 6232 both have abutting steps 6235, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the abutting step 6235 is configured such that when the input member 621 and the output member 622 rotate relative to each other until the top of the convex section 6234 is facing each other, the corresponding abutting steps 6235 of the first mating surface 6231 and the second mating surface 6232 abut against each other to prevent the input member 621 and the output member 622 from rotating relative to each other.

[0075] With this configuration, since the abutting steps 6235 corresponding to the first mating surface 6231 and the second mating surface 6232 abut against each other, the relative rotation of the input component 621 and the output component 622 can be prevented, and the first clutch 62 is locked. Therefore, not only can the input component 621 and the output component 622 rotate stably and synchronously, but the relative rotation can also avoid the loss of the rotational driving force output by the drive component 61. The rotational driving force output by the drive component 61 can be transmitted to the output component 622 to the maximum extent and drive the inner cylinder 21 to rotate. Thus, under the same driving power, the inner cylinder 21 can obtain a higher and more stable speed. This working condition is used for the spin drying of the cap 4.

[0076] To disengage the first clutch 62, the rotational speed of the input component 621 can be reduced to that of the output component 622, thus achieving deceleration. At this time, the inner drum 21 rotates in reverse relative to the input component 621. Simultaneously, during deceleration, the inner drum 21 vibrates rapidly due to the action of the first clutch 62, producing an effect similar to manual squeezing and rubbing. Through multiple deceleration processes, the spin-drying condition is eventually completely disengaged, and the first clutch 62 also disengages. This unique deceleration process does not require a high spin-drying speed, which helps reduce vibration and noise while improving spin-drying efficiency.

[0077] In summary, by setting the rotational speed curve of the input component 621, the entire process of brushing and spin-drying the hat 4 can be achieved. Throughout the process, the drive component 61 only changes its rotational speed and rotates in one direction only. Therefore, the drive component 61 has significant advantages in terms of motor thermal efficiency, mechanical impact, and system complexity.

[0078] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the cap support assembly 3 also includes a connecting shaft 32 and a second clutch 33. One end of the connecting shaft 32 is connected to the cap support 31, and the second clutch 33 is connected to the other end of the connecting shaft 32. The second clutch 33 has a rotational constraint force on the connecting shaft 32, which constrains the connecting shaft 32 to rotate around the axis L of the first clutch 62. The second clutch 33 is configured to change the magnitude of the rotational constraint force as the inner cylinder 21 moves a distance in its own axial direction, so that the cap support 31 is in a fixed state or a rotating state that follows the rotation of the inner cylinder 21.

[0079] With this configuration, the rotating inner cylinder 21 can apply a rotational driving force to the hat support 31 through the friction between the brushing assembly 5 and the hat 4, as well as the friction between the hat 4 and the hat support 31. Therefore, during the process of the inner cylinder 21 moving along its own axis, when the rotational constraint force of the second clutch 33 is greater than the rotational driving force of the inner cylinder 21, the rotation of the connecting shaft 32 is locked, and the hat support 31 is in a fixed state and remains stationary. At this time, it is convenient for the inner cylinder 21 to drive the brushing assembly 5 to deeply brush the hat 4 fitted on the hat support 31.

[0080] When the rotational constraint force of the second clutch 33 is less than the rotational driving force of the inner cylinder 21, the inner cylinder 21 can not only drive the brushing assembly 5 to brush the hats 4 on the hat support 31, but also drive the hat support 31 and the connecting shaft 32 to rotate. This changes the phase angle of the hat support 31 and the relative position of the hats 4 on the hat support 31 in the circumferential direction. This helps to avoid insufficient or incomplete brushing of certain parts of the hats 4 on the hat support 31, and promotes more even brushing of the hats 4. At the same time, due to the circumferential movement of the hats 4, the cylinder does not need to be filled with water, thus saving water and reducing the complexity of the system.

[0081] When the second clutch 33 does not have a rotational constraint force on the connecting shaft 32, and the abutting steps 6235 corresponding to the first mating surface 6231 and the second mating surface 6232 abut against each other, since the driving member 61 can drive the inner cylinder 21 to rotate at a higher speed through the first clutch 62, the inner cylinder 21 can also drive the hat support 31 to rotate at a higher speed, which makes it easier to spin-dry the cleaned hat 4.

[0082] In some alternative embodiments, when it is not necessary to spin-dry the cap 4, such as Figure 9As shown, the top of the convex segment 6234 of the first mating surface 6231 and the top of the convex segment 6234 of the second mating surface 6232 can both be smooth curved surfaces. In this case, not only can the structure of the first mating surface 6231 and the second mating surface 6232 be simplified, but the first mating surface 6231 and the second mating surface 6232 can also form a sinusoidal curve surface. In this way, through the cooperation of the first mating surface 6231 and the second mating surface 6232 of the sinusoidal curve surface, the inner cylinder 21 can be driven to rotate and move smoothly and stably, and at the same time, it is quieter.

[0083] In other embodiments, the cap support assembly 3 may consist only of the cap support 31. In this case, the cap support 31 may be fixedly or rotatably disposed at the end of the outer shell 1 opposite to the opening 213. Alternatively, the cap support assembly 3 may consist only of the connecting shaft 32 and the cap support 31. One end of the connecting shaft 32 is connected to the cap support 31, and the other end is connected to the end of the outer shell 1 opposite to the opening 213. The cap support 31 may be rotatably or fixedly disposed via the connecting shaft 32.

[0084] Both of the above-mentioned structural components of the hat support assembly 3 can simplify its structure, thereby facilitating the processing and assembly of the hat support assembly 3.

[0085] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 10 As shown, the second clutch 33 includes a clutch element 331 and a friction element 332, the friction element 332 being axially positioned within the inner cylinder 21 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 The friction element 332 is provided on the side of the clutch 331 away from the cap support 31 in the X direction, and a friction spring 3321 is provided on the side of the friction element 332 facing the clutch 331. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown), the friction spring 3321 is used for frictional contact with the clutch element 331; as Figure 10 As shown, the friction element 332 is connected to the other end of the connecting shaft 32 so that the inner cylinder 21 drives the friction element 332 to move relative to the clutch element 331 through the cap support 31 and the connecting shaft 32.

[0086] The friction element 332 is configured to prevent the cap support 31 from rotating with the inner cylinder 21 when the friction force between the friction spring 3321 and the clutch 331 is greater than the driving force of the inner cylinder 21 to drive the cap support 31 to rotate, so that the cap support 31 is in a fixed state; the friction element 332 is also configured to allow the cap support 31 to rotate with the inner cylinder 21 when the friction force between the friction spring 3321 and the clutch 331 is less than the driving force of the inner cylinder 21 to drive the cap support 31 to rotate, or when the friction spring 3321 and the clutch 331 are in a frictionless state, so that the cap support 31 is in a rotating state.

[0087] With this configuration, the friction element 332 moves relative to the clutch element 331 by the axial movement of the inner cylinder 21, which can adjust the tightness between the friction spring 3321 and the clutch element 331, and thus adjust the magnitude of the friction force generated by their contact surfaces. When the friction force between the friction spring 3321 and the clutch element 331 is greater than the driving force of the inner cylinder 21 to drive the cap support 31 to rotate, the friction force helps to lock the rotation of the connecting shaft 32, making it easier for the cap support 31 to remain stationary, and thus making it easier to keep the cap support 31 in a fixed state. When the friction force is less than the driving force of the inner cylinder 21, or when the friction spring 3321 disengages from the clutch element 331 and loses frictional contact, the friction constraint is released, making it easier for the inner cylinder 21 to drive the cap support 31 to rotate, and thus making it easier for the cap support 31 to switch from a fixed state to a rotating state.

[0088] As can be seen from the above description, the automatic switching of the rotation start and stop of the cap support 31 is achieved by the change of friction force in conjunction with the axial displacement. There is no need to set up a separate electric control switch and drive component. The structure is simple and reliable, and the switching of working conditions is smooth. At the same time, the friction spring 3321 can adapt to small pressure changes and continuously adjust the friction force, which has strong fault tolerance.

[0089] In some alternative embodiments, the second clutch 33 includes a retractable positioning pin disposed on the connecting shaft 32, and a limit locking hole is provided on the outer shell 1. During the process of the inner cylinder 21 driving the cap support 31 and the connecting shaft 32 to move axially, when the positioning pin pops out and inserts into the limit locking hole, a rotational constraint force can be applied to the connecting shaft 32 to constrain its rotation, thereby making the cap support 31 fixed; when the positioning pin moves out of the limit locking hole with the axial movement of the connecting shaft 32, the rotational constraint on the connecting shaft 32 fails, and the cap support 31 can switch to the rotational state.

[0090] This design simplifies the structure of the second clutch 33 to some extent, which in turn facilitates its manufacturing and assembly.

[0091] In some alternative implementations, the inner cylinder 21 is used to drive the friction element 332 away from the clutch element 331 via the cap support 31 and the connecting shaft 32, such as Figure 10 As shown, the second clutch 33 also includes a reset member 333, which is disposed on the side of the friction member 332 away from the clutch member 331 and abuts against the friction member 332. The reset member 333 is used to drive the friction member 332 to move closer to the clutch member 331. The reset member 333 is also configured to drive the inner cylinder 21 and the output member 622 to move in the opposite direction along the axial direction of the inner cylinder 21 and reset via the connecting shaft 32 and the cap support 31.

[0092] With this configuration, on the one hand, the reset component 333 drives the friction component 332 to move closer to the clutch component 331, which facilitates the quick restoration of the friction contact state between the friction spring 3321 and the clutch component 331, thereby facilitating the quick restoration of the cap support 31 from the rotating state to the fixed state. This makes it easier to clean the cap 4 in the next cycle, or to clean another cap 4 next time.

[0093] On the other hand, when the rotational speed of the input component 621 driven by the drive component 61 is equal to or less than the rotational speed of the output component 622, the output component 622 is driven to move in the opposite direction and reset by the reset component 333. This allows the inclined mating surface 623 of the first clutch 62 to return to its initial engagement position, and also allows the inner cylinder 21 to move in the opposite direction and reset. Therefore, through the combined action of the drive component 61, the first clutch 62 and the reset component 333, the reciprocating axial movement of the inner cylinder 21 can be achieved, thereby enabling the inner cylinder 21 to drive the brushing assembly 5 to reciprocate brushing the cap 4 along the axial direction, which is beneficial to improving the cleanliness of the cap 4.

[0094] In this embodiment, the reset element 333 can be a spring, an electric telescopic rod, etc. The type of reset element 333 can be selected flexibly. Specifically, it can be selected according to actual needs. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0095] In some alternative implementations, the outer surface of the cap support 31 has a brushing structure (not shown in the figure) configured to brush the inside of the cap 4 as the cap 4 rotates relative to the cap support 31 in the circumferential direction of the inner cylinder 21.

[0096] With this configuration, as the inner drum 21 moves axially, when the friction between the brushing component 5 and the cap 4 increases to the point that the inner drum 21 can cause the cap 4 to rotate relative to the cap support 31, the brushing structure on the outer surface of the cap support 31 can cooperate with the brushing component 5 on the inner side of the inner drum 21 to brush the inner and outer sides of the cap 4 respectively. This facilitates the all-round cleaning of the cap 4 and improves the cleanliness of the cap 4.

[0097] In this embodiment, the brushing structure on the outer surface of the cap support 31 can be a flexible brush or a silicone soft toothed brush, etc. The type of brushing structure can be selected flexibly. Specifically, it can be selected according to actual needs. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0098] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the outer casing 1 includes a casing body 11 and a door 12. The casing body 11 has an opening 111, which corresponds to the cylindrical opening 213. The door 12 is located at the opening 111 and is used to open or close the opening 111. A cap support assembly 3 is located on the door 12, and the cap support 31 is detachably mounted relative to the door 12. Wherein, as... Figure 2 As shown, when the door 12 is closed, the cap support 31 is located inside the washing chamber 211.

[0099] With this setup, the hat support assembly 3 is placed on the door 12. When the door 12 is opened, the hat support 31 will move out of the device along with the door 12. The hat 4 can be easily put on the outside of the hat support 31 without having to go into the narrow cavity, or the washed hat 4 can be taken off. The loading and unloading operation is simple and effortless.

[0100] On the other hand, the hat support 31 is detachable, so that the hat support 31 can be replaced with a suitable size according to different styles and sizes of hats 4, making the device more versatile.

[0101] In this embodiment, the detachable configuration of the cap support 31 can be achieved by detachably connecting the cap support 31 to the connecting shaft 32, or by detachably connecting the connecting shaft 32 to the second clutch 33. The implementation of the detachable configuration of the cap support 31 is quite flexible. Specifically, it can be configured according to actual needs. This embodiment does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0102] In some alternative embodiments, the cap support assembly 3 can also be connected to the shell body 11 via a connecting bracket, which can enhance the stability of the cap support 31 within the washing chamber 211 to a certain extent.

[0103] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the inner peripheral wall 212 of the inner cylinder 21 is non-circular, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, the inner peripheral wall 212 has a maximum distance position 2121; in the axial direction perpendicular to the inner cylinder 21 (e.g. Figure 2 In the X direction, the distance between the maximum distance position 2121 and the axis of the inner cylinder 21 is greater than the distance between other positions on the inner peripheral wall 212 and the axis of the inner cylinder 21; wherein, the cross section is perpendicular to the axial direction of the inner cylinder 21.

[0104] like Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, the scrubbing assembly 5 includes an inner peripheral wall scrubbing member 51, which is located at the maximum distance position 2121.

[0105] With this configuration, when the inner peripheral wall brush 51 is a flexible brush such as a bristle, setting the inner peripheral wall brush 51 at the maximum distance position 2121 allows the brush to have a relatively large radial dimension in the radial direction of the inner cylinder 21. Since the relatively large radial dimension allows the inner peripheral wall brush 51 to have a relatively large deformation space in the radial direction, it can accommodate more sizes of caps, thereby enhancing the versatility of the device.

[0106] Furthermore, the inner circumferential wall brush 51 is positioned at the maximum distance position 2121 of the non-circular inner circumferential wall 212. During the rotation of the inner cylinder 21, the friction between the inner circumferential wall brush 51 and the outer surface of the cap 4 causes the cap support 31 to rotate within the angle range corresponding to the maximum distance position 2121. Specifically, taking a single inner circumferential wall brush 51 as an example, as the inner cylinder 21 rotates, each time it passes a certain part of the cap 4, it causes the cap 4 to undergo a small displacement along its circumference within the angle range of contact with the cap 4 through friction, thus allowing the cap to rotate a small angle circumferentially. As the inner circumferential wall 212 continuously rotates relative to the cap 4, the above process repeats, and the cap 4 gradually accumulates rotation, thus achieving a step-like rotation. Simultaneously, the cap 4 causes the cap support 31 to rotate together, resulting in both the cap 4 and the cap support 31 rotating in a step-like manner. By rotating in a stepwise manner, the relative position of the hat 4 and the inner circumferential wall brush 51 can be changed stepwise. This helps to avoid insufficient or incomplete brushing of certain areas of the hat 4 by the inner circumferential wall brush 51, and promotes more even brushing of the hat 4.

[0107] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the inner peripheral wall 212 is a rounded polygon, and the maximum distance position 2121 is located at the rounded corner of the rounded polygon.

[0108] like Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, multiple inner peripheral wall scrubbing parts 51 are provided, and the inner peripheral wall scrubbing parts 51 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the rounded corners of the rounded polygons.

[0109] This design, with the inner circumferential wall 212 featuring a rounded polygonal cross-section, facilitates a symmetrical circumferential distribution of the overall contour, promotes uniform mass distribution during rotation, and helps avoid swaying issues caused by eccentric rotation. Simultaneously, the rounded corners eliminate stress concentration issues caused by sharp angles, preventing excessive local stress from leading to wall cracking and deformation, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength and service life of the inner cylinder 21.

[0110] In this embodiment, the rounded polygon can be a rounded triangle, a rounded quadrilateral, or a rounded pentagon, etc. The shape of the rounded polygon is flexible and can be set according to actual needs. This embodiment does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0111] In other embodiments, the non-circular cross-sectional shape of the inner peripheral wall 212 can also be elliptical or wavy ring, etc. The shape of the cross-section of the inner peripheral wall 212 is set flexibly. Specifically, it can be set according to actual needs. This application embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0112] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 12 As shown, the brushing assembly 5 also includes an end wall brush 52, which is disposed at the axial end of the inner cylinder 21. The end wall brush 52 is used to brush the top of the outside of the cap 4, and the inner peripheral wall brush 51 is used to brush the sides of the outside of the cap 4.

[0113] This configuration, through the end wall brush 52 and the inner peripheral wall brush 51, facilitates comprehensive cleaning of the exterior of the cap 4, thereby improving the cleanliness of the cap 4.

[0114] In this embodiment, the end wall brush 52 and the inner peripheral wall brush 51 can be flexible brushes or silicone soft toothed brushes, etc. The type of brush is flexible and can be selected according to actual needs. This embodiment does not limit this in any specific way.

[0115] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
