[0003] In related technologies, clothing processing equipment includes a clothing holding chamber and a drain pipe. One end of the drain pipe is connected to the clothing holding chamber, and the other end is usually connected to a floor drain or other drainage facilities. When the drain pipe is full of water, if water is injected into the clothing holding chamber, a siphon phenomenon is likely to occur, resulting in the problem of water being injected and drained at the same time, which affects the normal use of the clothing processing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application aims to provide a garment processing device that can prevent siphoning from occurring in the garment processing device.

[0008] Reagent kit components, including reagent kits with cavities;

[0009] An anti-siphon assembly has an anti-siphon channel that connects the drain pipe and the cavity, wherein the cavity is in communication with the outside.

[0010] In some embodiments, the anti-siphon assembly includes a one-way valve that allows gas in the cavity to enter the drain pipe in one direction only.

[0011] In some embodiments, the anti-siphon assembly includes a vent formed in the reagent kit, and the one-way valve is disposed at the vent.

[0012] In some embodiments, the kit includes a housing and a connecting post, the housing forming the cavity and the vent, the connecting post being located within the cavity and at least partially surrounding the vent, and the one-way valve being connected to the connecting post.

[0014] In some embodiments, the one-way valve is formed with a flange that abuts against the surface of the connecting post away from the vent.

[0015] In some embodiments, the box body includes a lid with a raised structure located within the cavity, the raised structure extending into the one-way valve, the raised structure abutting against the one-way valve on its circumferential surface in the top-bottom direction, and the circumferential surface of the raised structure having at least one through groove.

[0016] In some embodiments, a portion of the top surface of the one-way valve abuts against the top surface of the cavity, or the top surface of the one-way valve and the top surface of the cavity have a predetermined distance.

[0017] In some embodiments, the one-way valve is located within the anti-siphon channel. The one-way valve has an air inlet and a resilient port. The area surrounding the air inlet is sealed to the anti-siphon channel, and the air inlet communicates with the cavity. The resilient port remains closed in its natural state, and airflow from the air inlet can drive the resilient port to expand.

[0036] The embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this application, but should not be used to limit the scope of this application.

[0037] The various specific technical features and embodiments described in the detailed embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different combinations of specific technical features / embodiments can form different implementation methods. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of various specific technical features / embodiments in this application will not be described separately. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] It should be noted that in this application, "down" refers to the direction towards the ground, and "up" is the opposite direction to "down".

[0039] In related technologies, one end of the drain pipe is connected to the garment holding chamber, and the other end is usually connected to a floor drain or other drainage facilities. The end of the drain pipe connected to the floor drain is usually lower than the end of the drain pipe connected to the garment holding chamber. When the drain pipe is full of water, if water is injected into the garment holding chamber, the water level in the garment holding chamber will rise and the pressure will increase. This will cause the water in the garment holding chamber to be continuously discharged to the floor drain under the siphon effect, resulting in the problem of water being injected and drained at the same time. This may cause the garment processing equipment to trigger a water injection timeout alarm, affecting the normal use of the garment processing equipment.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This application provides a garment processing device 100, including a tank assembly 10, a drain pipe 20, a reagent kit assembly 30, and an anti-siphon assembly 31. The tank assembly 10 includes a garment holding chamber, and the drain pipe 20 communicates with the garment holding chamber. The reagent kit assembly 30 includes a reagent kit 32 having a cavity 32a. The anti-siphon assembly 31 has an anti-siphon channel that communicates with the drain pipe 20 and the cavity 32a, wherein the cavity 32a communicates with the outside. Exemplarily, the cavity 32a may communicate with the atmosphere.

[0041] The garment processing device 100 provided in this application embodiment allows gas in cavity 32a to enter drain pipe 20 through an anti-siphon channel, creating an air section within drain pipe 20. This prevents drain pipe 20 from filling with water, thus avoiding the discharge of water from the garment holding chamber through drain pipe 20 under siphon action. This prevents the garment processing device 100 from malfunctioning or wasting water, improving its stability. Furthermore, by using reagent kit 32 to form cavity 32a, and connecting anti-siphon component 31 to reagent kit 32, water can enter reagent kit 32 through cavity 32a even if anti-siphon component 31 is susceptible to water ingress. This eliminates the need for additional water-holding devices, reducing the number of components requiring additional production and saving costs.

[0042] The garment compartment is used to hold and process clothing. Methods of processing clothing include, but are not limited to, washing and / or drying. The type of garment processing equipment 100 is not limited; for example, it can be a washing machine, a drying machine, or a washer-dryer combo. A washer-dryer combo refers to a device that integrates washing and drying functions.

[0043] The kit component 30 is used to hold the laundry treatment reagents. The type of laundry treatment reagent is not limited; for example, laundry treatment reagents include, but are not limited to, detergents, fabric softeners, fluffing agents, and / or fragrances. The detergent is used to clean clothes and can be a dry cleaning agent or a laundry detergent. Thus, the kit component 30 provides a cleaning function. The fabric softener is used to soften and eliminate static electricity in clothes. The fluffing agent is used to fluff the clothes. The fragrance is used to add a pleasant scent to the clothes. Thus, the kit component 30 provides not only a cleaning function but also other functions such as softening and / or fluffing.

[0044] For example, please refer to Figure 1 The reagent kit 32 is located above the container assembly 10, so that the liquid and laundry treatment reagent can flow smoothly into the laundry chamber under the action of gravity.

[0045] For example, the tub assembly 10 may include a water tank and a rotatable clothes-holding tube, with the water tank fitted over the clothes-holding tube, which has a clothes-holding cavity. Taking the clothes-handling device 100 as a washing machine as an example, in operation, the clothes-holding tube rotates and continuously adjusts the posture of the clothes to increase the surface area of ​​the water and clothes-handling reagents acting on the clothes, thereby improving the clothes-handling efficiency. The clothes-holding tube may have a flow hole, through which the water tank holds water and through which the water enters and exits the clothes-holding cavity.

[0046] In some embodiments, the axis of rotation of the water-holding cylinder can extend horizontally, for example, in the front-to-back direction. This type of garment processing device 100 is also known as a drum-type garment processing device.

[0047] It should be noted that "front" refers to the direction facing the user, and "back" is the opposite direction. The front-back direction is perpendicular to the up-down direction.

[0048] In some embodiments, the bucket assembly 10 is provided with a drain outlet, which may be formed in the water bucket. For example, the drain outlet may be located at the lowest point in the vertical direction of the water bucket.

[0049] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 100 includes a drain pump mounted on a drain pipe 20. The drain pump provides power to discharge water through the drain pipe 20. This design has two advantages: firstly, the drain pump has strong suction power, which can effectively remove water, clothing debris, hair, etc., from the garment chamber, improving garment processing efficiency; secondly, the drain pump can automatically draw in water, reducing operational steps and enhancing the user experience.

[0050] After the drain pump drains water, the drain pipe 20 is prone to fill with water and cause a siphon phenomenon. In this application, after the drain pump drains water, air is introduced into the drain pipe 20 through the anti-siphon component 31 to prevent the drain pipe 20 from filling with water and thus prevent the siphon phenomenon.

[0051] Types of drainage pumps include, but are not limited to, vane pumps, etc.

[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The reagent kit 32 has a drain port 32b communicating with the cavity 32a, and the drain port 32b is connected to the garment holding cavity. Exemplarily, the garment treatment reagent can enter the garment holding cavity through the drain port 32b. If water in the drain pipe 20 enters the cavity 32a through the anti-siphon channel, it can also enter the garment holding cavity through the drain port 32b, thus avoiding the problem of water accumulation in the cavity 32a.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The anti-siphon component 31 includes a one-way valve 40, which allows gas in the cavity 32a to enter the drain pipe 20 in one direction. In other words, the one-way valve 40 allows gas in the cavity 32a to enter the drain pipe 20, while preventing liquid in the drain pipe 20 from entering the cavity 32a. The one-way valve 40 prevents liquid in the drain pipe 20 from flowing back into the garment holding chamber, thus preventing backflow of liquid from the drain pipe 20 into the garment holding chamber. Taking a garment processing device 100 with a drying function as an example, during the drying process, the one-way valve 40 can prevent liquid in the drain pipe 20 from flowing back into the garment holding chamber, causing localized dampness in the garments and resulting in poor drying performance.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The anti-siphon assembly 31 includes a vent 31a formed in the reagent kit 32, and a one-way valve 40 is disposed at the vent 31a. Exemplarily, in a plane projection perpendicular to the vertical direction, the projection of the one-way valve 40 is within the projection range of the vent 31a. This facilitates the installation and setting of the one-way valve 40 and simplifies the assembly process.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3The reagent kit 32 includes a housing 321 and a connecting post 322. The housing 321 forms a cavity 32a and a vent 31a. The connecting post 322 is located within the cavity 32a and at least partially surrounds the vent 31a. A one-way valve 40 is connected to the connecting post 322. Exemplarily, a portion of the one-way valve 40 is inserted into the connecting post 322. Thus, the connecting post 322 provides positioning and limiting for the one-way valve 40, enhancing its stability.

[0056] The connection method between the one-way valve 40 and the connecting post 322 is not limited. For example, the one-way valve 40 and the connecting post 322 can be detachable or non-detachable. For instance, the one-way valve 40 and the connecting post 322 can be connected by bonding or interference fit.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The box body 321 includes a box body 3212 and a box cover 3211. The box cover 3211 and the box body 3212 are connected to jointly define a cavity 32a. The box body 3212 has a vent 31a.

[0058] For example, please refer to Figure 3 A vent 31a is formed on the lower surface of the cavity 32a. That is, the one-way valve 40 is located inside the cavity 32a, and the housing 321 protects the one-way valve 40. The vent 31a is formed on the lower surface of the cavity 32a, and the height of part of the anti-siphon channel is lower than the height of the cavity 32a, which to some extent restricts the backflow of water and / or impurities in the drain pipe 20 into the cavity 32a through the anti-siphon channel.

[0059] The lid 3211 and the body 3212 can be manufactured separately, reducing the design and manufacturing difficulty of the body 321. For example, the one-way valve 40 can be assembled to the body 3212 first, and then the lid 3211 can be assembled to the body 3212 to complete the assembly of the one-way valve 40 and the body 321, which is simple to operate.

[0060] The cover 3211 and the body 3212 can be detachably connected to facilitate the installation and removal of the one-way valve 40. Detachable connections include, but are not limited to, screw connections, bolt connections, or snap-fit ​​connections.

[0061] The check valve 40 can be a mechanical check valve or an electrically controlled check valve. The specific structure of the check valve 40 is not limited; the check valve 40 only needs to enable unidirectional gas flow. For some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 3 The one-way valve 40 has a flange 421, which abuts against the surface of the connecting post 322 away from the vent 31a.

[0062] For example, the one-way valve 40 includes a hollow support portion 42 connected to an elastic portion 41, and an air inlet 40a is formed at the end of the support portion 42 away from the elastic portion 41. For example, please refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The elastic part 41 can be located inside the connecting post 322, and the support part 42 is formed with a flange 421, which abuts against the top surface of the connecting post 322. That is, the elastic port 40b is located on the side of the air inlet 40a near the vent 31a. This facilitates the connection between the one-way valve 40 and the connecting post 322 and improves the stability of the connection between the one-way valve 40 and the connecting post 322.

[0063] The flange 421 can be sealed to the connecting post 322. This prevents air from entering through the gap between the support part 42 and the connecting post 322.

[0064] The one-way valve 40 can be a one-piece molded structure. The support part 42 can also be made of materials such as silicone and / or rubber.

[0065] In some embodiments, the cover 3211 has a raised structure 32111 located in the cavity 32a. The raised structure 32111 extends into the one-way valve 40. The circumferential surface of the raised structure 32111 abuts against the one-way valve 40 in the top-bottom direction. The circumferential surface of the raised structure 32111 has at least one through groove 32111a.

[0066] For example, please refer to Figure 8 The one-way valve 40 is located inside the connecting post 322. The circumferential surface of the protruding structure 32111, surrounding the top and bottom, abuts against the support portion 42 of the one-way valve 40. In other words, the support portion 42 is clamped between the protruding structure 32111 and the connecting post 322. There is significant friction between the support portion 42, the protruding structure 32111, and the connecting post 322. Thus, the combined action of the protruding structure 32111 and the connecting post 322 further enhances the stability of the one-way valve 40. Part of the protruding structure 32111 is located inside the connecting post 322, facilitating rapid positioning of the protruding structure 32111 within the connecting post 322 and improving the assembly efficiency of the cover 3211 and the body 3212.

[0067] The through-slot 32111a is connected to the air inlet 40a so that the gas in the cavity 32a enters the one-way valve 40 through the air inlet 40a and the through-slot 32111a, and then is discharged to the drain pipe 20 through the one-way valve 40.

[0068] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 A portion of the top surface of the one-way valve 40 abuts against the top surface of the cavity 32a, or the top surface of the one-way valve 40 and the top surface of the cavity 32a have a preset distance.

[0069] It should be noted that the preset spacing is greater than zero, meaning that the top surface of the one-way valve 40 is spaced apart from the top surface of the cavity 32a. The preset spacing can be smaller to prevent excessive water pressure from the drain pipe 20 from causing the one-way valve 40 to shift.

[0070] In one embodiment, the preset spacing is no greater than the dimension of the one-way valve 40 located inside the connecting post 322 along the top-to-bottom direction. For example, the elastic portion 41 of the one-way valve 40 is located inside the connecting post 322, and the preset spacing is no greater than the dimension of the elastic portion 41 along the top-to-bottom direction. Excessive water pressure from the drain pipe may impact the one-way valve 40, causing it to dislodge from the connecting post. Since the preset spacing is no greater than the dimension of the one-way valve 40 located inside the connecting post 322 along the top-to-bottom direction, the one-way valve 40 is unlikely to jump out of the connecting post 322, preventing the one-way valve 40 from being displaced by water pressure.

[0071] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The one-way valve 40 is located within the anti-siphon channel. The one-way valve 40 has an air inlet 40a and a resilient port 40b. The area surrounding the air inlet 40a is sealed to the anti-siphon assembly 31, and the air inlet 40a communicates with the cavity 32a. The resilient port 40b remains closed in its natural state, and airflow from the air inlet 40a can drive the resilient port 40b to expand. Thus, the airflow movement drives the resilient port 40b to open, achieving automatic opening and closing of the one-way valve 40. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0072] It should be noted that the elastic port 40b in its natural state refers to the state in which the elastic port 40b is not subjected to any force that drives it to deform. The inner surface of the elastic port 40b is in contact to achieve closure. Airflow pushes the inner surface of the elastic port 40b, increasing the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow passage of the elastic port 40b, thus expanding and opening it. In other words, the gas from the cavity 32a pushes the elastic port 40b to undergo elastic deformation, thereby opening or closing the elastic port 40b.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The one-way valve 40 includes an elastic part 41, one end of which forms an elastic port 40b. The cross-sectional area of ​​the elastic part 41 gradually increases from near the elastic port 40b to away from the elastic port 40b. In this way, the elastic part 41 can play a guiding role.

[0074] It should be noted that the flow cross-section refers to a cross-section orthogonal to all streamlines of the total flow, that is, a surface perpendicular to the velocity clusters. The total flow refers to the entire fluid composed of countless elemental flows. Taking the one-way valve 40 as an example, the flow cross-section of the elastic part 41 refers to the surface of the elastic part 41 perpendicular to the airflow, i.e., the velocity clusters. The flow cross-section can be either a plane or a curved surface. For example, when the streamline clusters are not parallel to each other, the flow cross-section is a curved surface; when the streamline clusters are parallel straight lines, the flow cross-section is a plane.

[0075] The elastic part 41 can be a structure made of a flexible material. A flexible material is a material that can produce elastic deformations that are bendable, foldable, torsional, compressible, and / or stretchable. Therefore, the closure or expansion of the elastic opening 40b is achieved by utilizing the inherent properties of the elastic part 41, resulting in a simple structure.

[0076] In some embodiments, the flexible material includes, but is not limited to, rubber and / or silicone, etc.

[0077] In some embodiments, the one-way valve 40 includes an elastic portion 41, which includes two inclined walls 411, one end of which is spaced apart, and the other ends of which are inclined relative to each other and closed to form an elastic port 40b. For example, please refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The upper ends of the two inclined walls 411 are spaced apart, and the lower ends of the two inclined walls 411 are closed together, meaning that the external shape of the elastic part 41 is roughly duckbill-shaped. The airflow from the cavity 32a compresses the inner surface of the inclined walls 411, causing the two inclined walls 411 to move away from each other, thus expanding the elastic port 40b. In this way, the one-way valve 40 enhances the airflow gathering effect, and the airflow is gathered and guided by the elastic part 41 before flowing out from the elastic port 40b.

[0078] In one embodiment, the inclined wall 411 has a flat plate structure, that is, when the elastic part 41 is in its natural state, both the outer and inner surfaces of the inclined wall 411 are planar. In this way, the inclined wall 411 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0079] In one embodiment, the elastic part 41 includes two transition walls, which respectively close two gaps in the two inclined walls 411 perpendicular to the airflow direction. The transition walls can be flat or arc-shaped, and the elastic part 41 has a generally wedge-shaped structure, with the tip of the wedge-shaped structure being the elastic opening 40b.

[0080] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The anti-siphon assembly 31 includes a tee connector 311 and a connecting pipe 312. The tee connector 311 includes a first connector 311a, a second connector 311b, and a third connector 311c. The drain pipe 20 includes a first pipe section 21 and a second pipe section 22. The first pipe section 21 connects the garment chamber and the first connector 311a, the second pipe section 22 connects the second connector 311b, and the connecting pipe 312 connects the third connector 311c and the cavity 32a. The port of the second pipe section 22 furthest from the second connector 311b can be used to connect to a floor drain. This design facilitates the installation and removal of the drain pipe 20 and the anti-siphon assembly 31 without requiring a separate hole in the drain pipe 20, thus maintaining structural integrity. Furthermore, by using different first pipe sections 21 and second pipe sections 22, the position of the anti-siphon assembly 31 can be easily adjusted to adapt to different types of garment handling equipment 100.

[0081] In some embodiments, the one-way valve 40 may also be disposed on the third connector 311c and the connecting pipe 312. Exemplarily, the one-way valve 40 is disposed on the third connector 311c or the vent 31a, which makes installation easier.

[0082] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The reagent kit 32 is located above the barrel assembly 10, and the connecting tube 312 can also be located above the barrel assembly 10. This not only facilitates the passage of the connecting tube 312, but also minimizes the length of the connecting tube 312.

[0083] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The aperture of the first connector 311a and the aperture of the second connector 311b are both larger than the aperture of the third connector 311c. As a result, it is more difficult for the liquid to flow into the connecting tube 312 through the third connector 311c, further reducing the possibility of the liquid flowing back into the reagent kit 32 through the connecting tube 312.

[0084] The connecting pipe 312 includes, but is not limited to, flexible hoses, which save costs and facilitate installation and replacement.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The garment processing device 100 includes a housing 50, a barrel assembly 10 located within the housing 50, and a tee connector 311 disposed within the housing 50. Exemplarily, the reagent kit 32 may be located within the housing 50. The housing 50 protects the reagent kit assembly 30 and the barrel assembly 10, without occupying external space, resulting in a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance for the garment processing device 100. The housing 50 provides an installation location for the tee connector 311, facilitating installation.

[0086] For example, please refer to Figure 1Both the T-connector 311 and the drain pipe 20 are located on the outer side of the housing 50, without occupying the internal space of the housing 50, thus providing more space for the installation of components such as the barrel assembly 10 and the reagent kit assembly 30. Furthermore, the T-connector 311 is located at the top edge of the housing 50, which effectively prevents siphoning.

[0087] The connection methods between the tee connector 311 and the housing 50 include, but are not limited to, snap-fit ​​connection, screw connection, or bolt connection, etc., which makes installation and removal convenient.

[0088] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 A portion of the drain pipe 20 is located above the vertical line extending horizontally from the tub assembly 10. The highest water level in the garment holding chamber can be lower than the vertical line extending horizontally from the tub assembly 10, and the portion of the drain pipe 20 is located above the vertical line extending horizontally from the tub assembly 10. In this way, to a certain extent, the height of the highest part of the drain pipe 20 is not lower than the water level in the garment holding chamber, preventing water from being discharged during the operation of the garment processing equipment 100.

[0089] It should be noted that the perpendicular bisector extending horizontally in the barrel assembly 10 is a straight line that extends horizontally and evenly bisects the projection of the barrel assembly 10, with the vertical plane as the projection plane.
