Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of clothing processing equipment, and in particular to a clothing processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] A washing machine is a cleaning appliance that uses electrical energy to generate mechanical action to wash clothes. It can replace manual washing of clothes. With the continuous development of social economy and the increasing demand for people's quality of life, washing machines are becoming more and more one of the indispensable household appliances in people's lives.

[0003] Commonly used washing machines include pulsator washing machines and front-loading washing machines. Taking front-loading washing machines as an example, at present, most washing machines adopt upper drainage. After the washing machine finishes draining, some sewage after washing clothes usually remains in the drain pipe and cannot be discharged. The residual water will flow back into the washing drum (that is, the outer drum and inner drum of the washing machine). After being stored for a long time, the residual water will deteriorate and produce odor, causing odor inside the washing drum and contaminating the washing water for the next washing, reducing the cleaning effect of the clothes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to at least solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] The present application provides a clothing processing device, which can effectively prevent residual water in a drain pipe from flowing back into an outer drum and an inner drum, effectively improve the cleanliness of the outer drum and the inner drum, and enhance the clothing washing effect.

[0006] The present application provides a clothing processing device, comprising:

[0007] case;

[0008] An outer cylinder, wherein the outer cylinder is located inside the shell;

[0009] An inner cylinder, the inner cylinder being rotatably disposed in the outer cylinder;

[0010] a drainage pump, the drainage pump being communicated with the bottom of the outer cylinder;

[0011] A spray head, the spray head is arranged on the top of the outer cylinder;

[0012] The mounting seat has a connecting cavity and a first connecting port, a second connecting port and a third connecting port connected to the connecting cavity. The connecting cavity is a cylindrical structure. The central part of the connecting cavity has a rotating shaft.

[0013] A blocking member, the blocking member is located in the communicating cavity, and the blocking member is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the first communicating port, the second communicating port and the third communicating port are distributed along the circumference of the communicating cavity;

[0014] The first communication port is communicated with the water outlet end of the drainage pump, the second communication port is communicated with the sprinkler head, and the third communication port is communicated with the water inlet end of the drainage pipe;

[0015] A control device is connected to the blocking member, and is used to drive the blocking member to rotate around the rotating shaft in the connecting cavity to connect the first connecting port with the second connecting port or the third connecting port.

[0016] The present application provides a mounting seat and a blocking member in a clothing treatment device, so that the three connecting ports of the mounting seat are connected to the drainage pump, the drainage pipe and the spray head respectively. When the clothing needs to be drained after washing, the control device can drive the blocking member in the connecting device to rotate, and connect the first connecting port with the third connecting port, so that the water outlet of the drainage pump is connected to the water inlet of the drainage pipe. The mixed liquid in the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder is pumped into the drainage pipe through the third connecting port, so that the mixed liquid is discharged from the drainage pipe to the outside of the shell. After the drainage is completed, the control device can drive the blocking member to rotate again, so that the first connecting port in the mounting seat is connected to the second connecting port, so as to block the connection between the third connecting port and the first connecting port. In this way, when there is residual water in the drainage pipe, the residual water can be blocked and intercepted by the connecting device to prevent the residual water in the drainage pipe from flowing back into the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, effectively reducing or preventing the residual water from flowing back into the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder to cause the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder to produce odor, which helps to improve the cleanliness of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, thereby effectively improving the clothing washing effect.

[0017] In a possible implementation, when the blocking member rotates to the second communication port, the blocking member can block the second communication port, so that the first communication port is connected to the third communication port;

[0018] When the blocking member rotates to the third communication port, the blocking member can block the third communication port so that the first communication port is communicated with the second communication port.

[0019] During the drainage process, the sealing member will seal the second connecting port connected to the circulation pipeline, which can prevent the mixed liquid from entering the circulation pipeline during the drainage process, and then entering the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder through the circulation pipeline and the sprinkler head to form residual water, which can make the drainage more thorough, help improve the drainage effect, and reduce the residual water retained in the cylinder.

[0020] During the circulation spraying process, the sealing member will seal the third connecting port connected to the drain pipe, which can prevent the residual water in the drain pipe from entering the circulation pipeline during the clothing washing process, and then entering the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder through the circulation pipeline and the spray head, thereby improving the effective residual water blocking effect and preventing the residual water in the drain pipe from entering the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder and causing pollution.

[0021] In a possible implementation, it further includes a moving part, the moving part is connected to the blocking part, the moving part is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the moving part is connected to the control device;

[0022] The moving part is configured to be able to rotate around the rotating shaft under the traction force of the control device, so as to drive the blocking part to rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0023] The moving part can respond and move in time under the drive of the control device to drive the blocking part to rotate, thereby improving the sensitivity of the moving part.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the control device includes a control member connected to the moving member, and the control member is used to control the moving member to rotate around the rotating shaft so that the moving member drives the blocking member to switch between the second connecting port and the third connecting port.

[0025] The control device can control the moving part through the control part so that the moving part can drive the blocking part to rotate around the rotating shaft, so that the blocking part can switch between the second connecting port and the third connecting port, thereby realizing the switching between the first connecting port and the second connecting port and the third connecting port.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the control device further includes an elastic member, the elastic member is located in the communicating cavity, one end of the elastic member is connected to the blocking member, and the other end of the elastic member is connected to the mounting seat;

[0027] When the control member drives the blocking member to rotate to the second communication port, the elastic member is in an elastically compressed state, and when the control member releases the blocking member, the elastic member drives the blocking member to rotate to the third communication port.

[0028] The elastic member can drive the blocking member to reset to the third connecting port, so that after the clothing treatment device finishes draining, the blocking member can be restored to the third connecting port under the action of the elastic member to block the third connecting port to prevent residual water in the drain pipe from flowing back into the outer drum and the inner drum.

[0029] In a possible implementation, a one-way valve is further included, the water inlet end of the drainage pump is connected to the drainage outlet of the outer cylinder, and the one-way valve is arranged at the water inlet end of the drainage pump or the drainage outlet of the outer cylinder;

[0030] The one-way valve is configured to enable one-way communication between the drain port of the outer cylinder and the water inlet end of the drain pump.

[0031] The one-way valve can block the water path of the drain pump toward the outer cylinder to prevent the residual water outside from flowing back into the outer cylinder from the drain port at the bottom of the outer cylinder. This can effectively prevent the residual water from flowing into the outer cylinder and causing odor or pollution, and can effectively play the role of residual water blocking.

[0032] In a possible implementation, the elastic member is a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and one end of the torsion spring is connected to the blocking member, and the other end is connected to the mounting seat.

[0033] The torsion spring can provide reliable resetting power for the blocking member, so that the blocking member can block the third connecting port after the laundry processing device drains water, and can effectively improve the reliability and stability of resetting the blocking member.

[0034] In a possible implementation, the control device is a traction device, and the control element is a traction rope.

[0035] During the drainage process, the tractor can pull the traction rope so that the traction rope can pull the moving part to rotate, so that the blocking part blocks the second connection port. When the drainage is finished, the tractor can loosen the traction rope so that the traction rope is in a relaxed state, so that the traction rope no longer applies tension to the moving part. In this way, the blocking part can rotate and reset to the third connection port under the action of the rebound force of the elastic part to block the third connection port, thereby preventing the residual water in the drainage pipe from flowing back.

[0036] In a possible implementation, it further includes a drain pipe, a drain pump and a circulation pipeline, wherein the water inlet end of the drain pump is connected to the drain port of the outer cylinder; the spray head is connected to the water outlet end of the circulation pipeline, and the spray head faces the inner cylinder;

[0038] In a possible implementation, it further includes a door body and a door seal, the shell is provided with a clothing placement opening, the clothing placement opening is arranged opposite to the tube opening of the outer tube, and the door body is connected to the shell to cover the clothing placement opening;

[0039] The door seal is arranged between the outer cylinder and the door body, and the spray head is arranged on the door seal and is located on a side of the door seal facing the top of the shell body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0075] The present application provides a clothing processing device, which may be a washing machine, for example, a drum washing machine, a pulsator washing machine, etc. The following description will be given taking the clothing processing device as a drum washing machine as an example.

[0076] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a clothes processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application during cyclic spraying. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Magnified view of area A in the middle.

[0077] See also Figure 1 As shown, the laundry processing device 10 may include a housing 20 having a laundry taking-in and putting-out opening (not shown in the figure).

[0078] The clothes treating apparatus 10 may further include an outer drum 40 , which is disposed in the housing 20 , and the drum opening of the outer drum 40 faces the clothes taking-in and putting-out opening.

[0079] The clothing processing device 10 may further include an inner drum 50, which may be rotatably disposed in the outer drum 40, and the tube mouth of the inner drum 50 also faces the clothing access opening. The inner drum 50 may have a clothing washing cavity, and the inner drum 50 may rotate relative to the outer drum 40 during the clothing washing process to wash the clothing in the clothing washing cavity. The clothing washing cavity of the inner drum 50 may be connected to the cavity of the outer drum 40, for example, a plurality of through holes may be provided on the inner drum 50, and the plurality of through holes may be evenly distributed on the wall of the inner drum 50, and the water in the clothing washing cavity may flow into the outer drum 40 through the through holes on the wall of the inner drum 50, and may be discharged from the outer drum 40 after the washing is completed.

[0080] See also Figure 1 As shown, the clothing processing device 10 may further include a door body 30, which may be connected to the housing 20 to cover the clothing access opening. For example, the door body 30 may be provided at the clothing access opening and rotatably connected to the housing 20, so that the door body 30 can cover the clothing access opening, and at the same time, the door body 30 can be easily opened to facilitate the clothing to be put into the inner drum 50 through the clothing access opening, and the clothing is washed by the clothing processing device 10.

[0081] The clothes treating device 10 may further include a door seal 60, which may be disposed between the tube opening of the outer drum 40 and the door body 30 to seal the gap between the door body 30 and the tube opening of the outer drum 40. This can effectively improve the sealing between the door body 30 and the outer drum 40, effectively prevent the water in the clothes washing chamber from flowing out from between the outer drum 40 and the door body 30, and help improve the reliability and stability of the clothes treating device 10. The door body 30 may be a glass door body 30, so that the user can observe the condition of the clothes in the inner drum 50 through the door body 30.

[0082] The clothes treatment device 10 may further include a water inlet pipeline (not shown). A portion of the water inlet pipeline may be disposed inside the housing 20, and another portion may be disposed outside the housing 20, so that the water inlet pipeline is connected to an external water source (such as a faucet), and water is injected into the inner drum 50 through the water inlet pipeline. At the same time, the water flowing through the water inlet pipeline may bring detergent into the inner drum 50, so that the clothes treatment device 10 can wash clothes with the cooperation of water and detergent.

[0083] See also Figure 1 As shown, the laundry processing apparatus 10 further includes a drain pipe 80 , a portion of which is disposed inside the housing 20 , and another portion of which is disposed outside the housing 20 , so as to drain liquid to the outside of the housing 20 .

[0084] See also Figure 1As shown, the clothes processing device 10 further includes a drain pump 70. A drain port may be provided at the bottom of the outer tub 40, the drain pump 70 is disposed in the housing 20, the drain port may be connected to the drain pump 70, the drain pump 70 may pump the mixed liquid of water and detergent in the inner tub 50 and the outer tub 40 (hereinafter referred to as the mixed liquid) into the drain pipe 80, and the drain pump 70 may pump out the water in the outer tub 40 so as to discharge the mixed liquid to the outside of the housing 20 through the drain pipe 80.

[0085] The laundry processing device 10 has a laundry processing program. The laundry processing program includes a washing program, a rinsing level, etc. When the laundry processing program is a washing program, the liquid formed by the mixture of water and detergent in the inner drum 50 and the outer drum 40 can be referred to as washing water. When the laundry processing program is a rinsing level, the liquid in the inner drum 50 and the outer drum 40 can refer to the water in the inner drum 50 and the outer drum 40, or a mixed liquid formed by the mixture of water and a whitening agent, etc.

[0086] The laundry processing device 10 may further include a heater. The heater can heat the liquid in the inner drum 50, so as to realize the function of the laundry processing device 10 to heat and wash the laundry, thereby improving the laundry cleaning effect of the laundry processing device 10 on the laundry.

[0087] However, most of the existing clothing processing equipment adopts upper drainage. After the clothing processing equipment finishes draining, some mixed liquid usually remains in the drain pipe and cannot be discharged. The residual mixed liquid will flow back into the inner drum and the outer drum. After being stored for a long time, the mixed liquid will deteriorate and produce odor, causing odor inside the inner drum and the outer drum and contaminating the washing water for the next laundry, thereby reducing the cleaning effect of the clothes.

[0088] In order to solve the above problems, the clothes processing device of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a mounting seat and a blocking member in the clothes processing device, so that the three communication ports of the mounting seat are respectively connected to the drainage pump, the drainage pipe and the spray head. When the clothes need to be drained after washing, the control device can drive the blocking member in the connecting device to rotate, and connect the first connecting port with the third connecting port, so that the water outlet of the drainage pump is connected with the water inlet of the drainage pipe. The mixed liquid in the outer drum and the inner drum is pumped into the drainage pipe through the third connecting port, so that the mixed liquid is discharged from the drainage pipe to the outside of the shell. After the drainage is completed, the control device can drive the blocking member to rotate again, so that the first connecting port in the connecting device is connected with the second connecting port, so as to block the communication between the third connecting port and the first connecting port. In this way, when there is residual water in the drainage pipe, the residual water can be blocked and intercepted by the connecting device to prevent the residual water in the drainage pipe from flowing back into the outer drum and the inner drum, effectively reducing or preventing the residual water from flowing back into the inner drum and the outer drum to cause the outer drum and the inner drum to produce odor, which helps to improve the cleanliness of the outer drum and the inner drum, thereby effectively improving the washing effect of the clothes.

[0089] It should be noted that the liquid mentioned above may include the mixed liquid described above, or may include water flowing into the water inlet pipe from an external water source. This will be further described below in conjunction with the specific structure.

[0091] The laundry processing apparatus 10 may include a liquid inlet pipeline and a spray head 120 . The liquid inlet pipeline may include a circulation pipeline 90 , a water inlet pipeline, or other liquid inlet channels in the laundry processing apparatus 10 .

[0092] The spray head 120 is connected to the water outlet end of the liquid inlet pipeline, and the liquid in the liquid inlet pipeline is sprayed to the inner drum 50 through the spray head 120, so that the liquid in the liquid inlet pipeline can be sprayed into the inner drum 50 through the spray head 120, thereby washing the clothes in the inner drum 50.

[0093] See also Figure 1 As shown, the clothing treatment apparatus 10 may further include a connecting device 200 , wherein the spray head 120 and the drain pipe 80 may be connected to the drain pump 70 via the connecting device 200 , so that water discharged from the drain pump 70 may reach the drain pipe 80 or the spray head 120 via the connecting device 200 .

[0094] For details, see Figure 2 As shown, the connecting device 200 may include a mounting seat 210 and a blocking member 230. The mounting seat 210 may have a connecting cavity 211 and a first connecting port 212, a second connecting port 213 and a third connecting port 214 connected to the connecting cavity 211. The sprinkler head 120 and the drain pipe 80 may be connected to the drain pump 70 through the mounting seat 210.

[0095] The connecting cavity 211 may be a cylindrical structure, and the central part of the connecting cavity 211 has a rotating shaft, which can be understood as the extension direction of the rotating shaft being consistent with the central axis of the cylindrical connecting cavity 211. The blocking member 230 may be located in the connecting cavity 211, and the blocking member 230 may be rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, for example, the blocking member 230 may rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0096] The first communication port 212, the second communication port 213 and the third communication port 214 may be distributed along the circumference of the communication cavity 211, wherein the first communication port 212 may be connected to the water outlet of the drainage pump 70, and the second communication port 213 may be connected to the sprinkler head 120, for example, the second communication port 213 may be connected to the sprinkler head 120 through the circulation pipeline 90. The third communication port 214 may be connected to the water inlet end of the drainage pipe 80. For example, the first communication port 212 may be connected to the first communication pipe 215, and the first communication port 212 may be connected to the drainage pump 70 through the first communication pipe 215. The second communication port 213 may be connected to the second communication pipe 216, and the second communication port 213 may be connected to the circulation pipeline 90 through the second communication pipe 216. The third communication port 214 may be connected to the third communication pipe 217, and the third communication port 214 may be connected to the drainage pipe 80 through the third communication pipe 217.

[0097] The clothing processing device 10 may further include a control device 300 , which may be connected to the blocking member 230 , and may be used to drive the blocking member 230 to rotate around the rotating axis in the connecting cavity 211 to connect the first connecting port 212 with the second connecting port 213 or the third connecting port 214 .

[0098] See also Figure 2 As shown, during the washing process of the clothes, the control device 300 can drive the blocking member 230 to rotate, connect the first connecting port 212 with the second connecting port 213, so that the water outlet of the drain pump 70 is connected with the water inlet of the circulation pipeline 90. At this time, the drain pump 70 is started, and the drain pump 70 can extract the mixed liquid in the outer drum 40 and the inner drum 50 from the drain port at the bottom of the outer drum 40, and pump it into the circulation pipeline 90 through the second connecting port 213, so as to be transported to the spray head 120 through the circulation pipeline 90. So that the mixed liquid is sprayed from the spray head 120 at the top of the outer drum 40 to the clothes, so that the clothes are repeatedly rinsed, which can effectively improve the washing effect of the clothes. The clothes processing device 10 can effectively wash the clothes in a short time, which helps to shorten the washing time of the clothes and improve the washing efficiency of the clothes processing device 10.

[0100] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, when the clothes need to be drained after washing, the control device 300 can drive the blocking member 230 to rotate, connect the first communication port 212 with the third communication port 214, so that the water outlet of the drainage pump 70 is connected with the water inlet of the drainage pipe 80. At this time, the drainage pump 70 is started, and the drainage pump 70 can draw the mixed liquid in the outer drum 40 and the inner drum 50 from the drainage port at the bottom of the outer drum 40, and pump it into the drainage pipe 80 through the third communication port 214, so that the mixed liquid is discharged from the drainage pipe 80 to the outside of the housing 20.

[0101] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a clothes processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application during drainage. Figure 6 for Figure 5 Magnified view of area C in the middle.

[0102] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, after the drainage is completed, the control device 300 can drive the blocking member 230 to rotate again, so that the first communication port 212 in the communication device 200 is connected with the second communication port 213, so as to block the communication between the third communication port 214 and the first communication port 212. In this way, when there is residual water in the drain pipe 80, the residual water can be blocked and intercepted by the communication device 200 to prevent the residual water in the drain pipe 80 from flowing back into the outer drum 40 and the inner drum 50, effectively reducing or preventing the residual water from flowing back into the inner drum 50 and the outer drum 40 and causing the outer drum 40 and the inner drum 50 to produce odor, which helps to improve the cleanliness of the outer drum 40 and the inner drum 50, thereby effectively improving the laundry washing effect.

[0103] Continue to see Figure 4 As shown, when the blocking member 230 rotates to the second communication port 213, the blocking member 230 can block the second communication port 213, so that the first communication port 212 can communicate with the third communication port 214 through the communication cavity 211. For example, when drainage is required, the control device 300 can drive the blocking member 230 to rotate around the rotation axis, so that the blocking member 230 rotates to the second communication port 213. The blocking member 230 can block the second communication port 213, so that the second communication port 213 is blocked from the communication cavity 211. At this time, the third communication port 214 is in an open state, and the third communication port 214 can communicate with the first communication port 212 through the communication cavity 211.

[0104] The water outlet end of the drain pump 70 can be connected to the water inlet end of the drain pipe 80 through the mounting seat 210 of the connecting device 200, so that the drain pump 70 can pump the mixed liquid in the outer cylinder 40 and the inner cylinder 50 into the drain pipe 80, and discharge it to the outside of the shell 20 through the drain pipe 80.

[0105] Among them, during the drainage process, the sealing member 230 will seal the second connecting port 213 connected to the circulation pipeline 90, which can prevent the mixed liquid from entering the circulation pipeline 90 during the drainage process, and then entering the outer cylinder 40 and the inner cylinder 50 through the circulation pipeline 90 and the sprinkler head 120 to form residual water, which can make the drainage more thorough, help improve the drainage effect, and reduce the residual water retained in the cylinder.

[0106] See also Figure 6 As shown, when the blocking member 230 rotates to the third communication port 214, the blocking member 230 can block the third communication port 214, so that the first communication port 212 can communicate with the second communication port 213 through the communication cavity 211. For example, when drainage is required, the control device 300 can drive the blocking member 230 to rotate around the rotation axis, so that the blocking member 230 rotates to the second communication port 213. The blocking member 230 can block the second communication port 213, so that the second communication port 213 is blocked from the communication cavity 211. At this time, the third communication port 214 is in an open state, and the third communication port 214 can communicate with the first communication port 212 through the communication cavity 211.

[0107] The water outlet end of the drainage pump 70 can be connected to the water inlet end of the circulation pipeline 90 through the connecting device 200, so that the drainage pump 70 can pump the mixed liquid in the outer drum 40 and the inner drum 50 into the circulation pipeline 90, so that the mixed liquid can reach the spray head 120 through the circulation pipeline 90 to circulate and spray the clothes.

[0108] Among them, during the circulation spraying process, the sealing member 230 will seal the third connecting port 214 connected to the drain pipe 80, which can prevent the residual water in the drain pipe 80 from entering the circulation pipeline 90 during the clothing washing process, and then entering the outer drum 40 and the inner drum 50 through the circulation pipeline 90 and the spray head 120, which can improve the effective residual water blocking effect and prevent the residual water in the drain pipe 80 from entering the outer drum 40 and the inner drum 50 and causing pollution.

[0109] Continue to see Figure 6 As shown, the laundry processing device 10 may further include a one-way valve 400, and the water inlet end of the drain pump 70 is connected to the drain outlet of the outer tub 40. Figure 6 As shown, the one-way valve 400 can be provided at the water inlet end of the drain pump 70 or the drain outlet of the outer cylinder 40. The one-way valve 400 is configured to unidirectionally communicate the drain outlet of the outer cylinder 40 with the water inlet end of the drain pump 70. In other words, the one-way valve 400 can allow the water in the outer cylinder 40 to flow into the drain pump 70 through the one-way valve 400, and prevent the water in the drain pump 70 from flowing back into the outer cylinder 40 through the one-way valve 400.

[0110] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, during the process of circulating spraying and draining, the water in the outer drum 40 can flow to the drain pump 70 through the one-way valve 400, and then flow to the circulation pipeline 90 or the drain pipe 80 through the drain pump 70. Figure 6 As shown, after drainage is completed and the clothing processing device 10 stops working, the one-way valve 400 can block the water path of the drainage pump 70 toward the outer drum 40 to prevent the residual water outside from flowing back into the outer drum 40 from the drainage port at the bottom of the outer drum 40, which can effectively prevent the residual water from flowing into the outer drum 40 and generating odor or pollution, etc., and can effectively play the role of blocking the residual water.

[0111] For example, the one-way valve 400 can be a rubber one-way valve 400, one end of which is a circular ring-shaped opening structure, which is in a normally open state, and the other end is in a flat closed state, that is, the inner walls of the two sides of the one-way valve 400 are attached to each other. During installation, one end of the circular ring opening can be facing the direction of the outer cylinder 40, and the closed end can be facing one end of the drainage pump 70. During use, water in the outer cylinder 40 can enter the one-way valve 400 from the open end. Since the rubber material is relatively soft, the closed end of the one-way valve 400 will be flushed open under the gravity of the water and the suction of the drainage pump 70, so that the closed end is in an open state, so that the mixed liquid in the outer cylinder 40 can enter the drainage pump 70.

[0112] When the drainage is completed, the mixed liquid in the outer cylinder 40 is completely drained, and the end of the one-way valve 400 facing the drainage pump 70 will return to a closed state, thereby preventing the water outside the outer cylinder 40 from flowing back into the outer cylinder 40 through the one-way valve 400, thereby playing an effective role in blocking residual water.

[0113] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of a connecting device and a control device in a certain state provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0114] See also Figure 7 As shown, the laundry processing device 10 may further include a moving member 220, which may be connected to the blocking member 230, and the moving member 220 may be rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the moving member 220 may be connected to the control device 300. The moving member 220 is configured to rotate around the rotating shaft under the traction of the control device 300, so as to drive the blocking member 230 to rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0115] For example, the moving member 220 may be a traction rod, and the control device 300 may drive the moving member 220 to reciprocate around the rotation axis, so that the moving member 220 may drive the blocking member 230 to reciprocate around the rotation axis, so that the blocking member 230 may switch between the position of the second communication port 213 and the position of the third communication port 214. Thus, the blocking member 230 may block the second communication port 213 or the third communication port 214.

[0116] Among them, the blocking member 230 can be a structural member with a relatively soft material. For example, the blocking member 230 can be a rubber member, etc., so that when the blocking member 230 is at the second connecting port 213 or the third connecting port 214, it can effectively seal the second connecting port 213 or the third connecting port 214, and can improve the tightness of the contact between the blocking member 230 and the second connecting port 213 or the third connecting port 214, thereby effectively improving the sealing reliability of the blocking member 230.

[0117] The moving part 220 may be a structural part with certain strength and rigidity. When the control device 300 drives the moving part 220 , the moving part 220 may respond and move in time under the drive of the control device 300 , thereby improving the movement sensitivity of the moving part 220 .

[0118] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of a connecting device and a control device in a certain state provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0119] Continue to see Figure 7 As shown, the control device 300 may further include a control member 310 , which may be connected to the moving member 220 , and may be used to control the moving member 220 to rotate around the rotating shaft so that the moving member 220 drives the blocking member 230 to switch between the second connecting port 213 and the third connecting port 214 .

[0120] For example, see Figure 7 As shown, when circulating spraying is required, the control member 310 in the control device 300 can control the moving member 220 to rotate around the rotating shaft, so that the moving member 220 can drive the blocking member 230 to rotate to the third connecting port 214 to block the third connecting port 214, so that the drainage pump 70 can pump the mixed liquid into the circulation pipeline 90 connected to the second connecting port 213. Figure 8 As shown, when drainage is required, the control member 310 in the control device 300 can control the moving member 220 to rotate around the rotating shaft, so that the moving member 220 can drive the blocking member 230 to rotate to the second connecting port 213 to block the second connecting port 213, so that the drainage pump 70 can pump the mixed liquid into the drainage pipe 80 connected to the third connecting port 214, so that the mixed liquid can be discharged from the shell 20 through the drainage pipe 80.

[0121] Continue to see Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the clothes processing device 10 may further include an elastic member 240, which may be located in the communication cavity 211, and one end of the elastic member 240 may be connected to the blocking member 230, and the other end may be connected to the mounting seat 210. When the control member 310 drives the blocking member 230 to rotate to the second communication port 213, the elastic member 240 may be in an elastically compressed state, and when the control member 310 releases the blocking member 230, the elastic member 240 may drive the blocking member 230 to rotate to the third communication port 214.

[0122] For example, when the control member 310 applies a driving force to the moving member 220, the control member 310 can drive the moving member 220 to rotate, so that the moving member 220 can drive the blocking member 230 to rotate to the second connecting port 213. At this time, the elastic member 240 can be in an elastically compressed state, and the elastic member 240 in the elastically compressed state can have a rebound force, and the rebound force can drive the blocking member 230 toward the third connecting port 214. When the control member 310 releases the moving member 220, the force of the control member 310 on the moving member 220 is cancelled, and the moving member 220 and the blocking member 230 no longer receive the driving force of the control device 300. At this time, the rebound force of the elastic member 240 can drive the blocking member 230 to rotate toward the position of the third connecting port 214, so that the blocking member 230 is blocked at the third connecting port 214.

[0123] The control device can control the moving part 220 through the control part 310 so that the moving part 220 can drive the blocking part 230 to rotate around the rotating shaft, so that the blocking part 230 can switch between the second connecting port 213 and the third connecting port 214, thereby realizing the switching between the first connecting port 212 and the second connecting port 213 and the third connecting port 214.

[0124] For example, when drainage is required, the control device 300 can apply a driving force to the moving member 220 through the control member 310 to drive the moving member 220 to rotate, so that the moving member 220 can drive the blocking member 230 to rotate to the second connecting port 213 to block the second connecting port 213, thereby preventing the mixed liquid from entering the circulation pipeline 90 during the drainage process. When drainage is completed, the control device 300 cancels the driving force of the control member 310 on the moving member 220. At this time, the blocking member 230 can be restored to the third connecting port 214 under the action of the elastic member 240 to block the third connecting port 214, thereby preventing the residual water in the drainage pipe 80 from flowing back into the outer cylinder 40 and the inner cylinder 50.

[0125] For example, see Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the elastic member 240 can be a torsion spring, which can be sleeved on the rotating shaft, and one end of the torsion spring can be connected to the blocking member 230, and the other end can be connected to the mounting seat 210. When the control member 310 drives the blocking member 230 to rotate to the second connecting port 213 through the moving member 220, the torsion spring can be in an elastically compressed state. When the control member 310 cancels the driving force on the moving member 220, the blocking member 230 can be reset to the third connecting port 214 under the action of the rebound force of the torsion spring, so that the blocking member 230 can block the third connecting port 214. The reliability and stability of the resetting of the blocking member can be effectively improved.

[0126] The control device 300 may be a tractor, and the control member 310 may be a traction rope, for example, the traction rope may be a steel wire rope. During the drainage process, the tractor may pull the traction rope so that the traction rope can pull the moving member 220 to rotate, so that the blocking member 230 blocks the second connecting port 213. When the drainage is finished, the tractor may loosen the traction rope so that the traction rope is in a relaxed state, so that the traction rope no longer applies tension to the moving member 220. At this time, the blocking member 230 may rotate and reset to the third connecting port 214 under the action of the rebound force of the elastic member 240, so as to block the third connecting port 214, thereby preventing the residual water in the drain pipe 80 from flowing back.
