In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.
[0036] The present application embodiment provides a spray assembly 100, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The spray assembly 100 includes a spray body 10, and the spray body 10 has a water guide cavity 10a extending along a first direction R, that is, the first direction R is the extending direction of the water guide cavity 10a. Figure 1 The water guiding cavity 10a has a water inlet 10b at one end along the first direction R and a water outlet 10c at the other end. The water inlet 10b of the water guiding cavity 10a is used to connect a water supply device to guide the water flow provided by the water supply device to be discharged to the water outlet 10c.
[0037] The water outlet 10c includes a first part 10c1 and a second part, the first part 10c1 penetrates the bottom wall 11 of the water guiding cavity 10a, the second part 10c2 penetrates part of the side wall 12 of the water guiding cavity 10a, and the first part 10c1 and the second part 10c2 are connected at the connection between the side wall 12 of the water guiding cavity 10a and the bottom wall 11 of the water guiding cavity 10a.
[0038] The first part 10c1 and the second part 10c2 are connected at the connection between the side wall 12 and the bottom wall 11, that is, a single water outlet 10c has at least two different directions, so as to spray water in two directions to expand the spraying area. It can be seen that the spraying assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application has the effect of expanding the spraying area with a relatively simple structure.
[0039] For some examples, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water outlet 10c is constructed as a water outlet gap, which penetrates the bottom wall 11 of the water guide cavity 10a, and the opposite ends of the water outlet gap along its own length direction penetrate the side wall 12 of the water guide cavity 10a. The water flow entering the spray assembly 100 is finally discharged from the water outlet gap.
[0040] It should be noted that, compared with the water outlet cavity 10a, the shape and size of the water outlet gap are narrower, and the bottom wall 11 of the water outlet cavity 10a and the side wall 12 of the water outlet cavity 10a play a role in gathering the water flow of the water outlet 10c. The water outlet gap plays a role in pressurizing the water flow to a certain extent, so that the water flow is ejected as quickly as possible in a state of filling the water outlet gap. Since the water outlet gap not only penetrates the bottom wall 11 of the water outlet cavity 10a in the first direction, but also penetrates the side wall 12 of the water outlet cavity 10a in its own length direction, the water flow can be ejected from multiple directions, please refer to Figure 5 The water outlet gap can present a fan-shaped spray shape, expanding the spray area and improving the spray effect.
[0041] In addition, the spray assembly 100 has a simple structure and high structural reliability; the water outlet gap is easy to process, which is conducive to reducing production costs.
[0042] It should be noted that the width of the water outlet gap at various locations along its length direction can be the same or different. In one embodiment, the width of the water outlet gap at various locations along its length direction is the same, so that the water flow rate sprayed at various locations is relatively uniform. In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 Compared with the width L4 of other areas of the water outlet gap, the width L5 of the area relative to the water guide cavity 10a is wider, so that the spray flow rate there is larger.
[0043] The application scenarios of the spray assembly 100 are not limited. In the embodiment of the present application, the spray assembly 100 is described by taking the application of the spray assembly 100 to a clothes processing device as an example. Of course, the spray assembly 100 can also be used in other scenarios besides the clothes processing device.
[0044] The present application embodiment provides a clothes processing device, including a box, a drum assembly 200, a door assembly, and a spray assembly 100 provided in any embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 , wherein the dotted area shows a schematic diagram of the water spraying effect of the spray assembly 100.
[0045] The box body has a clothing inlet, and the drum assembly 200 is arranged in the box body. The drum assembly 200 has a clothing processing chamber 200a. The door assembly is arranged in the box body and is used to open or close the clothing inlet.
[0046] The spray assembly 100 is arranged above the door assembly and is used to spray water to the side of the door assembly facing the clothing processing chamber 200a. In this way, the spray assembly 100 can not only assist water intake, but also clean impurities adhering to the door assembly, keep the door assembly clean, and reduce the growth of microorganisms.
[0047] Exemplarily, the door assembly includes a door seal and a glass bowl, and the door seal is arranged on the outside of the glass bowl. The spray assembly 100 sprays water toward the glass bowl.
[0048] For some examples, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the extension length L2 of the water outlet gap on the bottom wall 11 of the water guide cavity 10a is greater than the equivalent diameter L1 of the water outlet 10c. The equivalent diameter L1 refers to the diameter of a circle having the same cross-sectional area as the water guide cavity 10a. Specifically, when the cross-sectional shape of the water guide cavity 10a is circular, the equivalent diameter of the water guide cavity 10a is the diameter of the circle. When the cross-sectional shape of the water guide cavity 10a is non-circular, the calculation of the equivalent diameter of the water guide cavity 10a can be understood as: calculating the cross-sectional area of the water guide cavity 10a, and then calculating the diameter of the circle corresponding to the area based on the area, and the diameter of the circle is the equivalent diameter of the water outlet 10c.
[0049] Thus, the water outlet gap has a relatively large length on the bottom wall 11 of the water guide cavity 10a, which can increase the spray range of the water flow. Specifically, the water flow emitted from the water outlet gap can clean the glass bowl in a larger range and reduce detergent residue.
[0050] For some examples, see Figure 3 , the extension length L3 of the water outlet gap on the side wall 12 of the water guide cavity 10a is not less than 1 / 3 of the equivalent diameter of the water guide cavity 10a, and can be 2 / 5 or 1 / 2, etc. In this way, the water outlet gap has a relatively large length on the side wall 12 of the water guide cavity 10a, which can increase the fan angle of the sprayed water flow and further improve the spray range of the water flow.
[0051] For some examples, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The bottom wall 11 of the water guiding cavity 10a has water guiding surfaces 20b on the surfaces at opposite sides of the width direction of the water outlet gap. Along the water outlet direction, the water guiding surfaces 20b on both sides extend away from each other.
[0052] Due to the viscosity of the fluid, the water guide surface 20b has a guiding effect on the water flow. Under the action of the water guide surface 20b, part of the water flow emitted from the bottom wall 11 of the water guide cavity 10a is spread along the width direction of the water outlet gap and at a certain angle, so that the spray assembly 100 has a larger spraying area in the area relative to the water guide surface 20b.
[0053] The form of the water guide surface 20b is not limited. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The water guide surface 20b is a concave surface. Specifically, the water outlet gap is located on the concave side of the concave surface.
[0054] In the direction of water discharge, see Figure 3, the dimension w1 of the concave surface in the length direction of the water outlet gap gradually increases. For example, the concave surface is roughly a part of a sphere or a part of an ellipsoidal sphere. The concave surface enables the water guide surface 20b to have a good diffusion and diversion effect in the width direction of the water outlet gap, reducing water splashing, and also to have a certain restraining effect on the water flow in the length direction of the water outlet gap, thereby increasing the spray water flow rate of the water outlet gap in the area where the water guide surface 20b is located, thereby enhancing its spraying effect.
[0055] In some other embodiments, the water guiding surface 20b is substantially a plane.
[0056] For some examples, see Figure 4 In the plane projection perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the water guide surface 20b is located within the projection range of the water guide cavity 10a. In this way, a large amount of water emitted from the water guide cavity 10a can flow along the area between the two water guide surfaces 20b, further improving the water guide effect of the water guide surface 20b on the water flow.
[0057] In some embodiments, the side walls 12 of the water guiding cavity 10a located on opposite sides of the width direction of the water outlet gap have water guide surfaces, and along the water outlet direction, the water guide surfaces 20a on both sides extend away from each other.
[0058] In this embodiment, the water diversion surface 20a has a guiding effect on the water flow. Under the action of the water diversion surface 20a, part of the water flow emitted from the side wall 12 of the water diversion cavity 10a is expanded along the width direction of the water outlet gap and at a certain angle, so that the spray assembly 100 has a larger spraying area in the area relative to the water diversion surface 20a.
[0059] For some examples, see Figure 1 The spray assembly 100 includes a flange 30, which is disposed at one end of the spray assembly 100 close to the water outlet 10c, and the water outlet 10c is located on the side of the flange 30 away from the water inlet 10b. The flange 30 can be used to stop and position the spray assembly 100 when it is installed. For example, a mounting opening is disposed inside the box, the spray body 10 passes through the mounting opening, and the flange 30 abuts against the edge of the mounting opening to achieve the positioning of the spray assembly 100.
[0060] For some examples, see Figure 2 The water outlet gap extends to the end surface of the flange 30, which is beneficial to reducing the length of the spray assembly 100 along the first direction R and reducing space occupancy.
[0061] For some examples, see Figure 1The spray assembly 100 includes a limiting rib 40, which is disposed on the circumferential outer surface of the spray body 10, and at least part of the limiting rib 40 extends along the length direction of the spray body 10. The limiting rib 40 is used to limit the rotation of the spray body 10, thereby preventing the bottom wall 11 of the water guide cavity 10a from rotating in the installation opening.
[0062] The spray assembly 100 in any embodiment of the present application may be an integrated structure, which, on the one hand, is conducive to improving the structural reliability of the spray assembly 100 , and on the other hand, can also improve the anti-leakage performance of the spray assembly 100 .
[0063] The material of the spray assembly 100 is not limited, and may be plastic such as PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) or PB (Polybutene).
[0064] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without causing any contradiction.
[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
