[0002] Washing machines are common household laundry equipment and have become one of the essential household appliances in every household. They help people get rid of the trouble of laundry and bring great convenience to people. However, with the improvement of people's living standards, the washing requirements for washing machines are also increasing. Specifically, existing washing machines, such as drum washing machines, are usually single-drum settings. Due to the large space inside the drum, the clothes in the drum are prone to entanglement during the washing process, affecting the washing effect and damaging the clothes.

[0003] To this end, the existing structure designed to achieve zoned washing is to set up two washing drums. The existing application number is 201410806293.2, and the name is: A Chinese utility model patent for a double-drum washing machine. The utility model provides a double-drum washing machine, including a casing, a control panel, a first cavity, and a second cavity. The first cavity and the second cavity are concentric and the radius of the second cavity is smaller than the radius of the first cavity. The control panel can control the first cavity and the second cavity to work simultaneously, and can also control the first cavity and the second cavity to work independently.

[0004] Although the drum washing machine of the utility model patent has a first cavity and a second cavity to realize the partition inside the drum, it still cannot solve the problem of entanglement of clothes in each cavity. Moreover, this structure occupies a large space, has a high cost and is inconvenient to operate.

[0005] Therefore, this field needs a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to solve the above technical problem, that is, to solve the problem that the existing single washing drum cannot achieve partitioned washing.

[0007] In a first aspect, the utility model provides a washing drum, which comprises a washing drum body and a partition device, wherein the partition device is detachably arranged in the washing drum body, the partition device comprises a drum body, a push piece and a partition component distributed along the circumference of the drum body, the partition component can slidably pass through the drum body, and the push piece is configured to be able to push the partition component to radially extend and retract along the drum body so that the partition component cooperates with the inner wall of the washing drum body, thereby fixing the partition device inside the washing drum body and being able to divide the inside of the washing drum body into at least two independent spaces.

[0008] When the above technical solution is adopted, the partition device can divide the inside of the washing drum body into at least two independent spaces. When washing, clothes of different types and sizes to be washed can be placed in different areas respectively to realize the partition inside the drum and avoid entanglement with each other. At the same time, since the clothes are pre-distributed in the drum, compared with a single drum without partition, it can avoid eccentricity caused by the accumulation of clothes during washing, affecting the washing effect, reducing the mutual wear rate between clothes and having a certain anti-color transfer effect, which can better protect clothes, avoid damage to clothes caused by washing, and extend the wearing life of clothes.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 , a specific preferred implementation manner of the utility model is described.

[0035] See first Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the washing drum of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the washing drum of the utility model comprises a washing drum body 1 and a partition device 2, wherein the partition device 2 is detachably arranged in the washing drum body 1 and can partition the inside of the washing drum body 1 into at least two independent spaces. Preferably, in this embodiment, the partition device 2 partitions the inside of the washing drum body 1 into three independent spaces of equal size. When washing, clothes of different types and sizes to be washed can be placed in different areas to achieve partitioning in the drum to avoid entanglement. At the same time, since the clothes are pre-distributed in the drum, compared with a single drum without partitioning, it can avoid eccentricity caused by accumulation of clothes during washing, which affects the washing effect.

[0036] Then see Figure 2-Figure 4 ,in, Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the partition device 2 of the washing drum of the utility model. Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the partition device 2 of the washing drum of the utility model from another direction. Figure 4 FIG. 2 is a front view of the partition device 2 of the washing drum of the utility model. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the partition device 2 includes a barrel 21, a push piece 22 and a partition assembly 23 distributed circumferentially along the barrel 21. The partition assembly 23 can slidably pass through the barrel 21. The push piece 22 is configured to push the partition assembly 23 to radially extend and retract along the barrel 21 so that the partition assembly 23 cooperates with the inner wall of the washing barrel body 1, thereby fixing the partition device 2 inside the washing barrel body 1.

[0037] Continue as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the partition assembly 23 is provided in three groups, each group of the partition assembly 23 includes a first plate 231 and a second plate 232, the first plate 231 can slidably penetrate the tub 21, the second plate 232 is connected to one end of the first plate 231, and the second plate 232 can match with the inner wall of the washing tub body 1. The pusher 22 is provided in a truncated cone structure, and the other end surface of the first plate 231 is provided in an inclined surface matching with the truncated cone structure.

[0038] Specifically, when it is necessary to partition the inside of the washing tub body 1, the center of the tub body 21 is first aligned with the center of the washing tub body 1, and then the push piece 22 is placed in the tub body 21. Since the push piece 22 and the other end surface of the first plate body 231 are matched with each other, during the process of the push piece 22 entering the tub body 21, the first plate body 231 can be pushed to slide radially outward relative to the tub body 21 until the push piece 22 is placed in the tub body 21. At this time, the second plate body 232 can cooperate with the inner wall of the washing tub body 1, so that a mutually restrictive force is formed between the partition device 2 and the washing tub body 1, so that the partition device 2 can be fixed in the washing tub body 1. When it is not necessary to partition the inside of the washing tub body 1, the push piece 22 is pulled out from the tub body 21 to release the mutually restrictive force between the partition device 2 and the washing tub body 1, so that the partition device 2 can be taken out from the washing tub body 1. The partition device 2 of the utility model can be installed inside the washing tub body 1 when in use to achieve internal partitioning of the tub, and can be taken out from the washing tub body 1 when not in use, which is easy to operate.

[0039] See below Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,in, Figure 5 This is a side view of the partition device 2 of the washing drum of the utility model when it is not assembled. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The cross-sectional view in the AA direction. Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a first docking structure 221 is provided on the push piece 22, and a second docking structure 2311 is provided on the first plate 231. When the push piece 22 pushes the partition assembly 23 to extend and retract radially along the cylinder 21, the first docking structure 221 and the second docking structure 2311 are slidably matched. Specifically, there are three groups of first docking structures 221 evenly distributed along the circumference of the pushing piece 22. When the pushing piece 22 enters the drum body 21, each group of first docking structures 221 is first aligned with the second docking structures 2311 at the corresponding position and then slidably matched, so that the pushing piece 22 can cooperate with the first plate body 231 when entering the drum body 21, and can slide along the set track to ensure that the first plate body 231 is smoothly pushed to slide radially outward relative to the drum body 21. At the same time, the pushing piece 22 and the first plate body 231 can be limited to prevent the pushing piece 22 and the first plate body 231 from separating from each other, affecting the radially outward sliding effect of the first plate body 231 relative to the drum body 21, and ensuring that the outward sliding distance of each first plate body 231 is consistent, so as to ensure that when the pushing piece 22 is placed in the drum body 21, a mutually restrictive force is formed between the partition device 2 and the washing drum body 1, so that the partition device 2 is fixed inside the washing drum body 1.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment, the first docking structure 221 is configured as a slider or a slide groove on the outer peripheral side of the push member 22, and the second docking structure 2311 is configured as a slider or a slide groove on the other end surface of the first plate body 231. Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first docking structure 221 is configured as a slide groove, and the second docking structure 2311 is configured as a slider. Of course, the first docking structure 221 can also be configured as a slider, and correspondingly, the second docking structure 2311 is configured as a slide groove, which are all within the protection scope of the present utility model. Preferably, the slider is configured as a wedge-shaped block, and the slide groove is configured as a wedge-shaped groove that matches the wedge-shaped block.

[0041] In addition, to facilitate the cooperation between the push piece 22 and the first plate body 231 when entering the cylinder body 21, the first docking structure 221 is arranged along the entire axial direction of the outer peripheral side of the push piece 22, and the second docking structure 2311 is arranged along the entire end surface of the first plate body 231.

[0042] It should be noted that the first docking structure 221 and the second docking structure 2311 described above are only exemplary, and the present invention does not impose any limitation on the specific structures of the first docking structure 221 and the second docking structure 2311, as long as the two can achieve sliding fit.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a guide member 211 is provided on the outer circumference of the cylinder 21, and the first plate 231 can slidably penetrate the guide member 211. The guide member 211 has a guiding function, and can ensure that the first plate 231 slides stably relative to the cylinder 21.

[0044] Then as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the second plate 232 is configured to be a curved surface structure that matches the curvature of the inner wall of the washing tub body 1. When the partition device 2 is fixed inside the washing tub body 1, the second plate 232 abuts against the inner wall of the washing tub body 1. Specifically, three water-repelling blades (not shown in the figure) are provided on the inner wall of the washing tub body 1, and the second plate 232 abuts against the inner wall of the washing tub body 1 located between adjacent water-repelling blades.

[0045] It should be noted that, although the above description is made in conjunction with the second plate 232 being configured as a curved surface structure that matches the curvature of the inner wall of the washing tub body 1, this is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the basic principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art may adopt other structures besides the curved surface structure, as long as they can match the inner wall of the washing tub body 1. For example, the second plate 232 may also be configured as a structure that matches the water-repelling blades on the inner wall of the washing tub body 1, and specifically, a frame that matches the water-repelling blades may be provided on the second plate 232, so as to achieve the fixing of the partition device 2 inside the washing tub body 1.

[0046] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a limiting rod 222 is rotatably and non-slidably arranged on the push piece 22 along its axial direction, one end of the drum body 21 is arranged as a closed end 212, the limiting rod 222 can penetrate the closed end 212 and connect with the rear wall of the washing drum body 1, and the other end of the drum body 21 is arranged as an open end 213, and the push piece 22 can enter the inside of the drum body 21 from the open end 213. Specifically, a through hole 214 is arranged along the axial direction of the center of the push piece 22, an internal thread structure is arranged inside the through hole 214, the limiting rod 222 penetrates the through hole 214, and an external thread structure is arranged at one end of the limiting rod 22, a part of which is threadedly connected with the internal thread structure inside the through hole 214, so that when the limiting rod 222 is installed to the push piece 22 in place, the limiting rod 222 can be rotatably and non-slidably arranged inside the push piece 22, so as to avoid the limiting rod 222 and the push piece 22 from being separated during the process of pushing the push piece 22 into the inner drum. When the push piece 22 is placed in the drum body 21, one end of the limiting rod 222 passes through the closed end 212 of the drum body 21 and docks with the rear wall of the washing drum body 1. The rear wall of the washing drum body 1 is provided with an internal thread structure that matches another part of the external thread structure. By rotating the limiting rod 222, the limiting rod 222 is threadedly connected to the rear wall of the washing drum body 1, further strengthening the fixation between the partition device 2 and the washing drum body 1. In addition, the other end of the limiting rod 222 extends out of the push piece 22 to facilitate the operation of the limiting rod 222.

[0047] Based on the above-mentioned washing drum embodiment, the utility model further provides a washing device, which includes the above-mentioned washing drum. The washing device can be a drum washing machine, a drying machine, a clothes dryer, a washing and drying machine, a washing and drying machine, etc.

[0048] Specifically, the washing device takes a drum washing machine as an example. The drum washing machine includes an outer drum (not shown in the figure) and a washing drum body 1. The washing drum body 1 is rotatably arranged in the outer drum. A gap cavity (not shown in the figure) is formed between the washing drum body 1 and the outer drum. A partition device 2 is arranged in the washing drum body 1 to divide the interior into three equal-sized independent spaces for accommodating the clothes to be washed. The partition device 2 is detachably arranged in the washing drum body 1. Before washing, the partition device 2 is pre-installed in the washing drum body 1, and then the clothes to be washed are placed in different areas according to the washing needs. For example, small clothes can be placed in the same area, pants can be placed in the same area, and tops can be placed in the same area. Or if the clothes to be washed are large, single clothes can be placed in different areas. When washing, the existing conventional washing method is adopted, water is introduced from between the washing drum body and the outer drum, so that the water level is higher than the washing drum body 1, and the clothes in each area are soaked by rotating the washing drum body 1, and then washed. During the washing process, since the drum is pre-zoned, it is equivalent to pre-distributing the clothes, which can avoid the accumulation of clothes and form eccentricity during the washing process. Moreover, compared with single-drum non-zoned washing, since the amount of clothes in each area is less than that of the single-drum clothes, sometimes even when washing large clothes, a single piece of clothes can be placed separately in each area. As a result, the mutual wear rate between clothes is relatively reduced, and during washing, the user can place clothes of different colors in different areas, that is, the color of the clothes to be washed in each area is consistent, and the color of the clothes to be washed in different areas is different. Compared with stacking all the clothes of different colors in the same area for washing at the same time, it can prevent the clothes from mixing colors to a certain extent, has the effect of preventing color mixing, can better protect the clothes, avoid damage to the clothes caused by washing, and extend the wearing life of the clothes. After washing, the user can remove the partition device 2 from the washing drum body 1 as needed, or directly place it inside the washing drum body 1 for the next washing. In addition, when cleaning the drum washing machine regularly, the user can remove the partition device 2 and clean it, which is convenient and easy to operate.

[0049] So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle 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 these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
