Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of washing equipment technology, and more specifically to clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing equipment refers to various electrical or mechanical devices used for cleaning, caring for, and organizing clothing to meet people's daily needs for clothing wear and maintenance. With its versatility and convenience, clothing processing equipment not only meets the needs of clothing cleaning and care but also brings users value in many ways, such as improved efficiency and enhanced quality of life.

[0003] Taking a drum washing machine as an example, the clothes handling equipment typically includes a shell, an outer drum arranged inside the shell, and an inner drum rotatably arranged inside the outer drum. Multiple spaced-apart lifting ribs are usually installed on the inner drum wall. During the rotation of the inner drum, these ribs lift the clothes to be washed to a certain height (e.g., 50cm) and allow them to fall freely, simulating the action of hand-beating clothes. This, combined with the water flow, temperature, and the chemical action of the detergent, achieves efficient cleaning. However, drum-type clothes handling equipment has relatively low washing efficiency and cannot wash clothes efficiently, resulting in excessively long washing times.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address or improve, to some extent, the low washing efficiency of existing garment processing equipment, this invention provides a garment processing device. The garment processing device includes: an outer drum, with a settling groove formed on its circumferential wall at its bottom, and a mounting cavity provided on the side wall of the settling groove; an electrolysis module disposed within the mounting cavity, positioned to contact the washing water within the outer drum to induce an electrolytic reaction in the washing water; and a light-emitting component disposed within the electrolysis module, positioned to emit illumination light into the outer drum.

[0006] Those skilled in the art will understand that the garment processing device of the present invention includes an outer drum, an electrolysis module, and a light-emitting component. A settling tank is formed on the circumferential wall of the outer drum at its bottom. The settling tank facilitates the collection of washing water within the outer drum. An installation cavity is provided within the settling tank, and the electrolysis module is arranged within the installation cavity. Therefore, the garment processing device of the present invention can utilize the electrolysis module arranged in the settling tank to fully contact the washing water within the outer drum, causing the washing water to undergo an electrolytic reaction, producing strong oxidants such as H2O2, O3, HClO, and hydroxyl radicals, effectively enhancing the sterilization and decontamination effects of the washing water, thereby improving washing efficiency and shortening washing time. Furthermore, a light-emitting component is also integrated within the electrolysis module, enabling the light to emit illumination light into the outer drum, allowing the user to clearly observe the internal state of the outer drum and improving the user experience.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the light-emitting component is configured to turn on or off synchronously with the electrolysis module; and / or the settling tank includes a bottom wall, a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall located on both sides of the bottom wall; each of the first lateral wall and the second lateral wall is inclined relative to the bottom wall towards the central axis of the outer drum, and the inclination of the first lateral wall is greater than that of the second lateral wall, wherein the mounting cavity is arranged on the first lateral wall. The configuration of the light-emitting component to turn on or off synchronously with the electrolysis module also allows the user to clearly perceive whether the electrolysis module is in operation through the illumination emitted by the light-emitting component, further enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, arranging the mounting cavity on the first lateral wall with a greater inclination allows the washing water in the outer drum to better contact the electrolysis module during rotation, increasing the contact area and improving the efficiency of the electrolysis reaction, thereby generating a strong oxidant more efficiently.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the electrolysis module includes: a housing disposed within the mounting cavity, with an opening formed at one end of the housing near the central axis; a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate, which are spaced apart from each other within the housing and both near the opening. The arrangement of the housing provides suitable mounting space for other functional components in the electrolysis module (e.g., the positive and negative electrode plates), improving the structural stability of the entire electrolysis module. Furthermore, placing the positive and negative electrode plates at the opening at the end of the housing near the central axis of the outer drum ensures convenient contact between the washing water in the outer drum and the positive and negative electrode plates, further improving the efficiency of the electrolysis reaction.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned garment processing equipment, a partition plate is formed within the housing, located on the side of the positive and negative electrode plates away from the opening. The electrolysis module further includes a circuit board, which is disposed on the side of the partition plate away from the opening. The circuit board is electrically connected to the corresponding positive and negative electrode plates via positive and negative conductive posts passing through the partition plate. The light-emitting component is electrically connected to the circuit board and extends through the partition plate. The partition plate effectively isolates the washing water from the circuit board, preventing malfunctions caused by contact with the washing water. The circuit board allows for convenient control of the operating status of the positive and negative electrode plates. Furthermore, the electrical connection between the light-emitting component and the circuit board improves the efficiency of the circuit board. Moreover, the extension of the light-emitting component through the partition plate ensures that the illumination light is smoothly directed to the outer drum without being blocked by the partition plate.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, each of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate is provided with a plurality of through holes spaced apart from each other; and the light-emitting component is positioned close to the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, or the light-emitting component is positioned to extend through the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The through holes not only allow washing water to easily pass through the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, but also increase the contact area between the washing water and the electrode plates (i.e., the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate), further improving the efficiency of the electrolytic reaction. Furthermore, positioning the light-emitting component close to the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate allows the illumination light generated by the light-emitting component to be projected onto the outer drum through these through holes. Further, positioning the light-emitting component to extend through the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate allows the illumination light generated by the light-emitting component to be projected directly onto the outer drum without being blocked by the positive electrode plate or the negative electrode plate.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the electrolysis module further includes: a wiring terminal, which is arranged on the side of the circuit board away from the partition plate, and the wiring terminal forms an electrical connection with the circuit board. The wiring terminal facilitates the supply of power to the circuit board.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the above-described garment processing equipment, an end cap is formed at the end of the housing away from the opening, and a clearance hole is formed on the end cap to allow partial exposure of the wiring terminals. The end cap effectively protects the functional components inside the housing. Furthermore, the clearance hole on the end cap allows for convenient electrical connection between an external power source and the wiring terminals.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, sealant is filled between the end cap and the partition plate. The sealant not only effectively fills the space between the end cap and the partition plate, improving structural stability, but also better prevents washing water from seeping in and damaging components such as circuit boards and terminals.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the sealant is made of epoxy resin. Epoxy resin has good mechanical properties, chemical resistance, environmental resistance, low shrinkage, low moisture absorption, and optical transparency, which can effectively realize the encapsulation of precision electronics.

[0015] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, a snap-fit ​​bracket with a slot is formed on the outer periphery of the housing, and a claw that can be inserted into the slot to form a snap-fit ​​engagement is formed in the mounting cavity; and / or a sealing ring is provided between the housing and the mounting cavity; and / or a filter screen covering the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate is provided in the opening; and / or the positive electrode plate is made of titanium alloy; and / or the positive electrode plate is made of stainless steel; and / or the diameter of each of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate is in the range of 14mm-24mm; and / or the distance between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate is in the range of 0.5mm-1.5mm; and / or the light-emitting component is a light-emitting diode. The engagement of the slot and the claw allows the electrolysis module to easily form a snap-fit ​​engagement with the mounting cavity, improving disassembly and assembly efficiency and facilitating maintenance and replacement. The sealing ring improves the sealing performance between the electrolysis module and the mounting cavity. The filter effectively removes impurities such as lint from the washing water, preventing them from accumulating on the positive or negative electrode plates and affecting the efficiency of the electrolysis reaction. Furthermore, the positive electrode plate is made of titanium alloy, and the negative electrode plate is made of stainless steel, reducing material costs while maintaining electrolysis efficiency. The diameter of the positive and negative electrode plates is set at 14mm-24mm, providing a suitable size that avoids insufficient efficiency due to excessively small diameters, while also preventing excessive space requirements due to excessively large diameters. The spacing between the positive and negative electrode plates is set at 0.5mm-1.5mm, ensuring a suitable distance that avoids short-circuit risks due to excessively small spacing, while also preventing a surge in energy consumption due to excessively large spacing. Finally, LEDs, as light-emitting components, offer numerous advantages such as high electro-optical conversion efficiency, low heat loss, long lifespan, tunable spectrum, rapid response, and environmental friendliness.

[0030] To address or improve, to some extent, the low washing efficiency of existing garment processing equipment, this invention provides a garment processing device 1. The garment processing device 1 includes: an outer drum 10, with a settling groove 13 formed on the circumferential wall 12 of the outer drum 10 at its bottom, and a mounting cavity 14 provided within the settling groove 13; an electrolysis module 20, disposed within the mounting cavity 14, and positioned to contact the washing water within the outer drum 10 to induce an electrolytic reaction in the washing water; and a light-emitting component 30, disposed within the electrolysis module 20, and positioned to emit illumination light into the outer drum 10.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a first structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the clothing processing device of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a second structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the garment processing device of the present invention. (See diagram below.) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the clothing treatment device 1 of the present invention includes an outer drum 10, an electrolysis module 20 arranged on the outer drum 10, and a light-emitting component 30 arranged within the electrolysis module 20. The electrolysis module 20 is positioned to contact the washing water inside the outer drum 10, causing an electrolytic reaction in the washing water; the light-emitting component 30 is positioned to emit illumination light into the outer drum 10. Therefore, the clothing treatment device 1 of the present invention can control the electrolytic reaction of the washing water inside the outer drum 10, generating strong oxidants such as H2O2, O3, HClO, and hydroxyl radicals, effectively enhancing the sterilization and stain removal effects of the washing water, thereby improving washing efficiency and shortening washing time. Furthermore, by integrating the light-emitting component 30 within the electrolysis module 20, the clothing treatment device 1 of the present invention allows the user to clearly observe the internal state of the outer drum 10, improving the user experience.

[0032] It should be noted that the garment processing device 1 of the present invention also includes, but is not limited to, a shell for accommodating the outer drum 10, an inner drum rotatably arranged inside the outer drum 10, a drive component for driving the inner drum to rotate, a water inlet mechanism, a drainage mechanism, and a controller (all not shown in the figure), etc., which will not be described in detail here. In addition, the garment processing device 1 of the present invention can be a drum washing machine, a drum washer-dryer combo, or other suitable types.

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one or more embodiments, the outer cylinder 10 includes an end wall 11 and a circumferential wall 12 connected to each other. The end wall 11 has a generally circular shape. The circumferential wall 12 extends outwardly, generally perpendicularly, along the circumferential edge of the end wall 11, giving the entire outer cylinder 10 a generally cylindrical tubular structure. In one or more embodiments, the end wall 11 and the circumferential wall 12 are integrally molded from a suitable resin material using an injection molding process, such as polypropylene (PP), to achieve good mechanical properties and low processing costs. Alternatively, the end wall 11 and the circumferential wall 12 may also be made of stainless steel or other suitable materials, providing excellent structural stability and pressure resistance.

[0034] Figure 3 This is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of the clothing processing device of the present invention; Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The image shows a partial enlarged view of part A of an embodiment of the garment processing device of the present invention. (See attached image.) Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one or more embodiments, a settling tank 13 is formed at the bottom of the circumferential wall 12. The settling tank 13 allows the washing water inside the outer drum 10 to easily collect into the settling tank 13 under its own gravity. A mounting cavity 14 for installing the electrolysis module 20 is provided within the settling tank 13, allowing the electrolysis module 20 to easily come into contact with the washing water. Based on Figure 3 As shown, the settling tank 13 includes a bottom wall 1313 extending generally horizontally. A first lateral wall 1311 and a second lateral wall 1312, facing each other, are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the bottom wall 1313. Specifically, the first lateral wall 1311 is located on the right side of the bottom wall 1313, and the second lateral wall 1312 is located on the left side of the bottom wall 1313. Alternatively, the positions of the first lateral wall 1311 and the second lateral wall 1312 can be interchanged, i.e., the first lateral wall 1311 is located on the left side of the bottom wall 1313, and the second lateral wall 1312 is located on the right side of the bottom wall 1313. The first lateral wall 1311 faces the bottom wall 1313 in a direction close to the central axis of the outer cylinder 10 (based on...). Figure 3The second lateral wall 1312 is inclined relative to the bottom wall 1313 in a direction close to the central axis of the outer cylinder 10 (based on the orientation shown, i.e., in a counterclockwise direction). Figure 3 The mounting cavity 14 is inclined (in a clockwise direction) as shown. The inclination of the first lateral wall 1311 is greater than that of the second lateral wall 1312, and the mounting cavity 14 is arranged on the first lateral wall 1311. By arranging the mounting cavity 14 on the first lateral wall 1311 with a greater inclination, the washing water located between the inner and outer drums 10 can better contact the electrolysis module 20 when the inner drum rotates, increasing the contact area and improving the efficiency of the electrolysis reaction, thereby generating a strong oxidant more efficiently. Alternatively, the mounting cavity 14 can also be located in other suitable positions on the settling tank 13, such as on the bottom wall 1313, or on the second lateral wall 1312, or simultaneously on both the first and second lateral walls 1311 and 1312.

Figure 6 A schematic cross-sectional view is obtained by showing the BB cross-section line; Figure 8 This is the second embodiment of the electrolysis module in the clothing processing equipment of the present invention. Figure 6 The BB section line shown provides a schematic cross-sectional view. (See diagram.) Figures 5-8 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the electrolysis module 20 includes a housing 21, positive electrode plates 22a and negative electrode plates 22b arranged at intervals within the housing 21, and other components. The arrangement of the housing 21 provides suitable mounting space for other functional components in the electrolysis module 20 (e.g., positive electrode plates 22a, negative electrode plates 22b, etc.), improving the structural stability of the entire electrolysis module 20. In one or more embodiments, the housing 21 has a generally cylindrical shape to mate with the generally circular mounting cavity 14. Alternatively, the housing 21 may also be square, elliptical, or other suitable shapes, as long as it mates with the mounting cavity 14. The housing 21 can be integrally molded from a suitable resin material (e.g., PP, PE, etc.) using an injection molding process to simplify the manufacturing process. An opening 211 is formed at one end of the housing 21 near the central axis of the outer cylinder 10. Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, the opening 211 is located at the upper end of the housing 21. In the assembled state, both the positive and negative electrode plates are close to the opening 211. This ensures that the washing water inside the outer cylinder 10 can easily contact the positive electrode plate 22a and the negative electrode plate 22b, further improving the efficiency of the electrolysis reaction.

[0036] See also Figures 6-8 In one or more embodiments, the positive electrode 22a is located near the opening 211 of the housing 21, while the negative electrode 22b is located on the side of the positive electrode 22a away from the opening 211. Alternatively, the negative electrode 22b is located near the opening 211 of the housing 21, while the positive electrode 22a is located on the side of the negative electrode 22b away from the opening 211. In one or more embodiments, each of the positive electrode 22a and the negative electrode 22b is provided with a plurality of through holes 221 spaced apart from each other. The through holes 221 not only allow washing water to easily pass through the positive electrode 22a and the negative electrode 22b, but also increase the contact area between the washing water and the electrode plates (i.e., the positive electrode 22a and the negative electrode 22b), further improving the efficiency of the electrolysis reaction. It should be noted that the shape, size, number, and arrangement of the through holes 221 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The material of the positive electrode 22a can be, but is not limited to, titanium alloy. The material of the negative electrode 22b can be, but is not limited to, stainless steel. In one or more embodiments, the diameter of each of the positive electrode 22a and the negative electrode 22b ranges from 14mm to 24mm, thus having a suitable diameter. In one or more embodiments, the spacing between the positive electrode 22a and the negative electrode 22b ranges from 0.5mm to 1.5mm, thus having a suitable spacing.

[0037] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one or more embodiments, a partition plate 212 is further formed within the housing 21 on the side of the positive electrode plate 22a and the negative electrode plate 22b away from the opening 211. Based on Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, the separator 212 is located below the positive electrode plate 22a and the negative electrode plate 22b. The electrolysis module 20 also includes a circuit board 23, which is arranged on the side of the separator 212 away from the opening 211. Based on... Figure 4 As shown, circuit board 23 is located below partition plate 212. In the assembled state, circuit board 23 is electrically connected to the corresponding positive electrode plate 22a and negative electrode plate 22b via positive lead post 24 and negative lead post 25 passing through partition plate 212, respectively. In other words, circuit board 23 is connected to positive electrode plate 22a via positive lead post 24, and circuit board 23 is connected to negative electrode plate 22b via negative lead post 25. The arrangement of circuit board 23 allows for convenient control of the operating state of positive electrode plate 22a and negative electrode plate 22b. In addition, the arrangement of partition plate 212 can effectively isolate washing water from circuit board 23, preventing circuit board 23 from malfunctioning due to contact with washing water.

[0038] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8In one or more embodiments, the electrolysis module 20 further includes a terminal block 26 disposed on the side of the circuit board 23 away from the partition plate 212. Based on Figure 4 As shown, terminal 26 is located on the underside of circuit board 23. Terminal 26 forms an electrical connection with circuit board 23 to provide power to circuit board 23.

[0039] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one or more embodiments, the electrolysis module 20 further includes an end cap 27 located at the end of the housing 21 away from the opening 211, and the end cap 27 has a clearance hole (not shown) that allows a portion of the wiring terminals 26 to be exposed. The end cap 27 effectively protects the functional components inside the housing 21. Furthermore, the clearance hole on the end cap 27 allows for convenient electrical connection between an external power source and the wiring terminals 26. The end cap 27 and the housing 21 can be integrally molded using injection molding, or they can be processed separately and then assembled together using a suitable method (e.g., screw connection, snap-fit ​​connection).

[0040] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one or more embodiments, sealant 28 is filled between the end cap 27 and the partition plate 212. The sealant 28 not only effectively fills the space between the end cap 27 and the partition plate 212, improving structural stability, but also better prevents washing water from seeping in and damaging components such as the circuit board 23 and terminal blocks 26. In one or more embodiments, the sealant 28 is made of epoxy resin, giving it good mechanical properties, chemical resistance, environmental resistance, low shrinkage, low moisture absorption, and optical transparency, effectively enabling the packaging of precision electronics. Alternatively, other suitable materials can be used for the sealant 28.

[0041] See also Figures 5-8 In one or more embodiments, two spaced-apart snap-fit ​​brackets 29 are formed on the outer periphery of the housing 21. Each snap-fit ​​bracket 29 has a slot 291, and a claw 141, insertable into the corresponding slot 291, is also formed within the mounting cavity 14, enabling a flexible and reliable snap-fit ​​engagement between the housing 21 and the mounting cavity 14. Alternatively, the snap-fit ​​brackets 29 may be provided in a number less than two, such as one or three, as long as they can mate with the claw 141. Alternatively, the housing 21 and the mounting cavity 14 may be fixedly connected in other suitable ways. For example, an external thread may be formed on the outer periphery of the housing 21, and an internal thread that engages with the external thread may be provided within the mounting cavity 14.

[0042] See also Figure 4In one or more embodiments, a sealing ring 210 is further provided between the housing 21 and the mounting cavity 14 to enhance the sealing effect between the housing 21 and the mounting cavity. The sealing ring 210 may be made of, but is not limited to, rubber.

[0043] In one or more embodiments, a filter screen (not shown in the figure) covering the positive electrode plate 22a and the negative electrode plate 22b is also provided inside the opening 211 of the housing 21. In the assembled state, the filter screen is closer to the central axis of the outer cylinder 10 relative to the positive electrode plate 22a and the negative electrode plate 22b. That is, the filter screen is located above the positive electrode plate 22a and the negative electrode plate 22b. The filter screen can effectively filter impurities such as lint in the washing water and prevent impurities from accumulating on the positive electrode plate 22a or the negative electrode plate 22b, thus affecting the efficiency of the electrolysis reaction. It should be noted that the material, specifications, and number of layers of the filter screen can be adjusted according to actual needs, as long as it can effectively filter impurities in the washing water.

[0044] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the light-emitting component 30 is electrically connected to the circuit board 23, so that the light-emitting component 30 and the electrode plates can be controlled simultaneously using a single circuit board 23, improving the utilization efficiency of the circuit board 23. In the assembled state, the light-emitting component 30 extends through the partition plate 212, allowing the illumination light generated by the light-emitting component 30 to be directly directed onto the outer cylinder 10 without being blocked by the positive electrode plate 22a or the negative electrode plate 22b. Figure 7 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the light-emitting component 30 is positioned close to the positive electrode plate 22a and the negative electrode plate 22b. Based on Figure 7 As shown, the light-emitting component 30 is located to the right of the negative electrode plate 22b. Thus, when the light-emitting component 30 is working, the illumination light generated by it can pass sequentially through the through holes 221 on the negative electrode plate 22b and the positive electrode plate 22a, and then be directed towards the outer cylinder 10. Figure 8 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the light-emitting component 30 is positioned to extend through the positive electrode sheet 22a and the negative electrode sheet 22b. Based on Figure 8As shown, the light-emitting component 30 passes sequentially through the negative electrode plate 22b and the positive electrode plate 22a. Thus, when the light-emitting component 30 is working, the illumination light generated by it can directly shine onto the outer cylinder 10 without being blocked by the positive electrode plate 22a and the negative electrode plate 22b. In one or more embodiments, the light-emitting component 30 is configured to turn on or off synchronously with the electrolysis module 20. This allows the user to clearly perceive whether the electrolysis module 20 is operating through the illumination light emitted by the light-emitting component 30, further enhancing the user experience. In one or more embodiments, the light-emitting component 30 is a light-emitting diode (LED), which has many advantages such as high electro-optical conversion efficiency, low heat loss, long service life, tunable spectrum, fast response, and environmental friendliness. It should be noted that the number of light-emitting components 30 can also be multiple, such as two or three, depending on actual needs.

However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
