Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of washing machine devices, and more specifically, to a sterilization device for a washing machine. Background Art

[0002] Traditional washing machines mostly use sterilizing liquid to sterilize the clothes in the washing machine. It is often necessary to set up a cavity inside the washing machine to contain the sterilizing liquid, which takes up extra space in the washing machine. At the same time, the sterilizing liquid is a consumable and cannot be reused, which is an extra expense for people's daily life. Traditionally, there is another sterilization method, which is to set up a corresponding high-temperature or ultraviolet sterilization device in the washing machine, and start the sterilization device during the washing process to sterilize the clothes. This method also takes up extra space in the washing machine and increases the cost of setting up the sterilization device. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to overcome at least one defect of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a sterilization device for a washing machine, which can sterilize clothes without occupying additional space of the washing machine and reduce the cost of production and use.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] The utility model provides a sterilization device for a washing machine, the sterilization device comprising a shell, the surface of the shell is arranged as a porous structure, a receiving cavity is arranged in the shell, and a nano copper sterilization unit is arranged in the receiving cavity;

[0006] The outer side of the shell is provided with a mounting and fixing mechanism, and the shell is fixed on the inner wall of the washing machine through the mounting and fixing mechanism.

[0007] By utilizing the bactericidal effect of nano-copper, the nano-copper bactericidal unit is installed in the shell of the bactericidal device and fixed on the inner wall of the washing machine through an installation and fixing mechanism. At the same time, the shell is set to a porous structure. When the washing machine is started, the liquid in the washing machine will enter the accommodating cavity through the porous structure of the shell and contact with the nano-copper bactericidal unit therein to achieve sterilization. The structure is simple and the bactericidal effect is good. No additional space in the washing machine is required, thereby reducing the production cost of the washing machine. In addition, the nano-copper can be reused, thereby reducing the sterilization cost of the daily use of the washing machine.

[0008] Furthermore, the shell includes a mounting and fixing shell and a contact and filtering shell; the mounting and fixing shell and the contact and filtering shell are detachably connected through their edges to form the accommodating cavity; the mounting and fixing mechanism is arranged on the mounting and fixing shell and away from one side of the contact and filtering shell.

[0009] The accommodating chamber is formed by installing a detachable connection between the fixing shell and the contact filtering shell, which can facilitate the replacement of the nano-copper sterilization unit and further reduce the use cost.

[0010] Furthermore, the installation and fixing shell is in an arc shape away from the contact filtering shell, and the installation and fixing shell is made of elastic material.

[0011] The installation and fixing shell is arc-shaped, and can be better fixed on the inner wall of the washing machine; preferably, the curvature of the installation and fixing shell matches the inner wall of the washing machine, and can fit on the inner wall of the washing machine to reduce space occupancy; even if it cannot be completely matched, the installation and fixing shell made of elastic material can also fit with the inner wall of the washing machine through elastic action.

[0012] Furthermore, the contact filter shell is in an arc shape facing the installation and fixing shell, and is made of elastic material. The arc shape of the contact filter shell facing the installation and fixing shell can further reduce the space occupied.

[0013] Furthermore, the contact filter shell is in an arc shape away from the mounting and fixing shell, and is made of elastic material. The arc shape of the contact filter shell away from the mounting and fixing shell can increase the volume of the accommodating cavity, increase the amount of the nano-copper sterilizing unit that can be accommodated, and also increase the contact area with the liquid in the washing machine, thereby improving the sterilization effect.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting and fixing mechanism includes a support column, one end of which is connected to the housing, and the other end is provided with a buckle structure, and the buckle structure matches the drainage hole on the inner wall of the washing machine. The buckle structure and the support column can well fix the sterilizing device on the inner wall of the washing machine or remove it from the inner wall of the washing machine, so as to facilitate replacement.

[0015] Furthermore, the nano-copper sterilization unit includes a plurality of nano-copper particles, the diameter of which is larger than the pore size of the porous structure. The nano-copper sterilization unit is configured as nano-copper particles, which have a simple structure, low production process cost, and are easy to replace.

[0016] Furthermore, the nano-copper sterilization unit is a mesh structure made of nano-copper. The nano-copper sterilization unit is set as a mesh structure, which can increase the contact area between the liquid in the washing machine and the nano-copper, and improve the sterilization effect.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0019] 2. The utility model sets the installation and fixing shell to an arc shape and the installation and fixing mechanism to a snap-on structure, so that the drainage holes on the inner wall of the washing machine can be well utilized to fix the sterilization device and fit it with the inner wall, thereby reducing the internal space occupied by the washing machine.

[0026] The drawings of the present invention are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be construed as limiting the present invention. In order to better illustrate the following embodiments, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a sterilization device for a washing machine, the sterilization device includes a housing 10, specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown, the shell 10 is configured as a porous structure. In this embodiment, the porous structure can be configured as a plurality of through holes evenly distributed on the shell 10. In a preferred embodiment, the porous structure can also be configured as a grid structure.

[0029] The shell 10 is provided with a accommodating cavity, in which a nano-copper sterilization unit 30 is provided, and an installation and fixing mechanism 20 is provided on the outer side of the shell 10. The sterilization device is arranged on the inner wall 40 of the washing machine through the installation and fixing mechanism 20. At the same time, by arranging the nano-copper sterilization unit 30 in the accommodating cavity and utilizing the sterilization ability of nano-copper, when washing clothes, the laundry water can enter the accommodating cavity through the porous structure on the shell 10 and contact with the nano-copper sterilization unit 30 in the accommodating cavity to achieve sterilization of the laundry water. The structure is simple and can reduce the production cost. At the same time, nano-copper can be reused, which reduces the cost of daily use.

[0030] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 10 includes a mounting and fixing shell 11 and a contact and filtering shell 12, and the mounting and fixing shell 11 and the contact and filtering shell 12 are detachably connected through their edges, and the accommodating cavity is formed between the mounting and fixing shell 11 and the contact and filtering shell 12 through the connection between the mounting and fixing shell 11 and the contact and filtering shell 12; wherein, the connection between the mounting and fixing shell 11 and the contact and filtering shell 12 can be achieved by providing corresponding bayonet holes at their edges to achieve interference connection; a mounting and fixing mechanism 20 is provided on the side of the mounting and fixing shell 11 away from the contact and filtering shell 12; in this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the installation and fixing mechanism 20 may include a support column, one end of which is connected to the installation and fixing shell 11, and the other end is set as a snap-on structure, and the snap-on structure matches the drainage hole 41 set on the inner wall 40 of the washing machine. By extending the snap-on structure into the drainage hole 41 of the inner wall 40 of the washing machine, the sterilization device can be fixedly installed on the inner wall 40 of the washing machine, so as to facilitate contact with the washing water.

[0031] More specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in the present embodiment, the mounting and fixing shell 11 and the contact and filtering shell 12 can be set to an arc shape, and the mounting and fixing shell 11 and the contact and filtering shell 12 are made of elastic material; wherein, the mounting and fixing shell 11 can be set to an arc shape away from the contact and filtering shell 12, and the arc shape of the mounting and fixing shell 11 matches the inner wall 40 of the washing machine, so that the mounting and fixing shell 11 can fit well on the inner wall 40 of the washing machine after being installed and fixed by the mounting and fixing mechanism 20, thereby reducing space occupation. Correspondingly, the contact and filtering shell 12 can be set to an arc shape away from the mounting and fixing shell 11, so that the accommodating cavity formed by the mounting and fixing shell 11 and the contact and filtering shell 12 has a larger volume, can accommodate more of the nano-copper sterilization units 30, and has a better sterilization effect; in addition, as Figure 5 As shown, the contact filter shell 12 can also be set to an arc shape facing the mounting and fixing shell 11, wherein the arc curvature of the contact filter shell 12 is smaller than the arc curvature of the mounting and fixing shell 11, so that the accommodating cavity can be formed between the contact filter shell 12 and the mounting and fixing shell 11 to accommodate the nano-copper sterilization unit 30, and the arc shape of the contact filter shell 12 facing the mounting and fixing shell 11 can further reduce the space occupied. In addition, the mounting and fixing shell 11 and the contact filter shell 12 are both set with elastic materials, so that the mounting and fixing shell 11 can better fit on the inner wall 40 of the washing machine by its elasticity, and the shell 10 has elasticity, which can more reasonably utilize the space in the washing machine.

[0032] Further, in the present embodiment, the nano-copper sterilization unit 30 may include a plurality of nano-copper particles, and the diameter of the nano-copper particles is larger than the pore size of the porous structure. The nano-copper sterilization unit 30 is configured as nano-copper particles, and the nano-copper particles have a simple structure, low production process cost, and are easy to replace. In another preferred embodiment, the nano-copper sterilization unit 30 may be configured as a nano-copper mesh structure. The nano-copper sterilization unit 30 is configured as a mesh structure, which can increase the contact area between the liquid in the washing machine and the nano-copper, thereby improving the sterilization effect.
