[0028] The spray device of clothing cleaning equipment such as washing machines and shoe washers can help remove detergent residues on clothing and improve the washing effect. When using the spray function, the nozzle of the spray device sprays clean water evenly onto the clothing in a jet manner, thereby achieving the effect of rapid infiltration and sufficient rinsing. The water flow from the water inlet valve is connected to the opening of the spray structure through a water pipe, and is sprayed onto the clothing in the washing machine through the opening of the spray structure. However, in the related art, the spray range of the spray opening is limited, and it can only spray a small range, resulting in the problem of uneven infiltration.

[0029] The present disclosure provides a spray device. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a spray device in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the spray device 1 includes a main structure 11, a liquid inlet structure 12 and a plurality of spray structures 13. The main structure 11 encloses a flow guiding space, and the liquid inlet structure 12 is arranged on the main structure 11 and communicates the inside and outside of the flow guiding space. The plurality of spray structures 13 are arranged on the main structure 11 and communicate the inside and outside of the flow guiding space, and the openings 131 of at least two spray structures 13 face different directions.

[0030] Since the spray device 1 comprises a main structure 11, a liquid inlet structure 12 and a plurality of spray structures 13 disposed on the main structure 11, the flow guide space surrounded by the main structure 11 can guide the liquid flowing in from the liquid inlet structure 12 to the plurality of spray structures 13 connected to the flow guide space, and the liquid flows out from the openings 131 of the plurality of spray structures 13. The spray device 1 increases the number of spray structures 13 and makes the openings 131 of at least two spray structures 13 face in different directions, thereby expanding the spray range and improving the uniformity and efficiency of clothing wetting.

[0031] It should be noted that the opening 131 of the spray structure 13 may refer to the water outlet of the spray structure 13 on the side away from the diversion space, and the direction of the water outlet may refer to the normal direction of the plane where the water outlet is located. Alternatively, one end of the spray structure 13 forms an inlet connected to the diversion space, and the direction of the opening 131 of the spray structure 13 may also refer to the direction in which the inlet of the spray structure 13 points to the opening 131.

[0032] In some embodiments, the main structure 11 may include an arc-shaped first side surface 111, and the spray structure 13 is disposed on the first side surface 111. The spray structure 13 is disposed on the first side surface 111 having an arc-shaped structure, and the curvature of the arc-shaped structure itself can be used to make the openings 131 of at least two spray structures 13 have different orientations. In addition, when the spray device 1 is assembled to the door seal 212 of the clothing cleaning device 2, the first side surface 111 of the arc-shaped structure can be adapted to the structure of the door seal 212 for easy installation.

[0034] In some embodiments, the spray structure 13 includes a first through hole disposed on the side wall of the main structure 11 and communicating with the guide space, so as to simplify the structural setting of the spray device 1 and reduce the structural cost and space occupation of the spray device 1 .

[0035] When the spray structure 13 is a first through hole disposed on the side wall of the main structure 11, it can be disposed on the arc-shaped first side surface 111, the first bending surface or the first plane of the main structure 11. When the first through hole is located on the first side surface 111 or the first bending surface, the structure of the main structure 11 can be used to make the openings 131 of at least two spray structures 13 face in different directions. When the first through hole is located on the first plane, the axial directions of at least two first through holes can be angled to each other, so that the openings 131 of at least two spray structures 13 face in different directions.

[0036] In other embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the spray structure 13 includes a guide pipe arranged on the main structure 11, and an opening 131 is arranged at one end of the guide pipe away from the guide space, so as to change the direction of the opening 131 of the spray structure 13 by using the extension direction of the guide pipe. The guide pipe can be a columnar protrusion structure arranged on the main structure 11, and the direction of the opening 131 of the spray structure 13 can be changed by using the extension direction of the protrusion structure, or the direction of the opening 131 of the spray structure 13 can be adjusted by using the shape of the end of the opening 131 of the guide pipe. For example, the end of the opening 131 of the guide pipe can be formed into a circular, elliptical or space curved surface shape with different orientations.

[0037] In some embodiments, the openings 131 of some spray structures 13 may be oriented in different directions to ensure that the spray structures 13 with some openings 131 oriented in the same direction have the same liquid output and wetting efficiency for a specified area. In other embodiments, the openings 131 of all spray structures 13 may be oriented in different directions to utilize all spray structures 13 to expand the spray range.

[0038] In some embodiments, the guide space extends from the first end 113 of the main structure 11 to the second end 114 of the main structure 11, and the spray structure 13 is evenly distributed on the main structure 11 from the first end 113 to the second end 114, so as to utilize the structural shape of the main structure 11, the guide space and the spray structure 13 evenly distributed from the first end 113 to the second end 114 to improve the spraying uniformity of the spray device 1.

[0039] In some embodiments, the main structure 11 includes a strip structure, the first end 113 is arranged at one end of the long side of the strip structure, and the second end 114 is arranged at the other end of the long side of the strip structure, so as to utilize the strip-shaped guide space to form a long strip guide range, and cooperate with the spray structure 13 distributed from the first end 113 to the second end 114 to expand the spray range and uniformity of the spray device 1.

[0040] For example, the spray structure 13 may be distributed in one row and multiple columns or multiple rows and multiple columns along the direction from the first end 113 to the second end 114 , and may be configured according to specific infiltration requirements, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0041] When water flows into the guide space of the main structure 11 from the liquid inlet structure 12, the water can flow along the guide space of the strip structure to the connection between each spray structure 13 and the main structure 11, and then flow out from the openings 131 of each spray structure 13 to complete large-scale spraying.

[0042] In other embodiments, the main structure 11 may be square, triangular or irregular in shape to obtain a flow guide space of a desired shape. The present disclosure does not limit the shape of the main structure 11 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the main structure 11 includes a second side surface 112, and the liquid inlet structure 12 includes a second through hole disposed on the second side surface 112 and communicating with the flow guide space, so as to simplify the structural arrangement of the main structure 11 and the liquid inlet structure 12 and reduce the space occupied by the liquid inlet structure 12. And / or, Figure 1 As shown, the liquid inlet structure 12 includes a connecting pipeline arranged on the second side 112, which is convenient for direct connection with the liquid inlet pipe or the liquid inlet pump, and the external structure of the connecting pipeline can also be used to realize the assembly of the spray device 1 and the door seal 212 or other parts of the clothing cleaning device 2.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the main structure 11 includes a first section 115 and a second section 116 located at both ends, and the first section 115 and the second section 116 are respectively provided with a liquid inlet structure 12, so as to increase the liquid inlet efficiency through the liquid inlet structure 12 located at both ends of the main structure 11, thereby improving the diffusion efficiency of the liquid in the guide space.

[0045] The spray device 1 may further include a liquid inlet pump, which is connected to the liquid inlet structure 12 to achieve water inlet control of the spray device 1 .

[0046] The present disclosure further provides a clothes cleaning device 2, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clothes cleaning device 2 includes a device body 21 and the above-mentioned spray device 1, the device body 21 includes a door body mounting position 211, the door body mounting position 211 is provided with a door seal 212, and the spray device 1 is assembled on the door seal 212. Placing the spray device 1 on the door seal 212 can avoid structural interference caused by the spray device 1 and help improve the infiltration efficiency of the spray device 1.

[0047] Since the spray device 1 comprises a main structure 11, a liquid inlet structure 12 and a plurality of spray structures 13 disposed on the main structure 11, the flow guide space surrounded by the main structure 11 can guide the liquid flowing in from the liquid inlet structure 12 to the plurality of spray structures 13 connected to the flow guide space, and the liquid flows out from the openings 131 of the plurality of spray structures 13. The spray device 1 increases the number of spray structures 13 and makes the openings 131 of at least two spray structures 13 face in different directions, thereby expanding the spray range and improving the uniformity, efficiency and cleanliness of clothing wetting.

[0048] The main structure 11 of the spray device 1 may be an arc-shaped structure that matches the curvature of the door seal 212, and the arc-shaped structure may be used to achieve fit assembly with the door seal 212, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the clothing cleaning device 2. The length of the arc-shaped structure in the circumferential direction may be set to fit assembly with 1 / 3, 1 / 4, or 1 / 2 of the circumferential length of the door seal 212 according to the spray range requirements, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0049] In some embodiments, the liquid inlet structure 12 includes a connecting pipeline provided on the main structure 11, and the connecting pipeline is sealed and assembled with the door seal 212 to divide the connecting pipeline into a first part and a second part located on both sides of the door seal 212, and the main structure 11 and the spray structure 13 are located on the same side of the door seal 212 as the second part. The use of the connecting pipeline to achieve a sealed assembly with the door seal 212 can simplify the installation, and on the basis of achieving spraying for the cleaning space 22 for holding clothes of the clothing cleaning device 2, water leakage at the connection between the spray device 1 and the door seal 212 is avoided, thereby improving the overall sealing of the clothing cleaning device 2. For example, a sealing structure 121 protruding from the main body of the connecting pipeline can be provided on the periphery of the connecting pipeline, so as to achieve abutment sealing with the cover 212 through the sealing structure.
