Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to multiple fields, such as families, laundries, washing, drying and ironing of cleaning items in hotels, etc. Background Art
[0002] Washing, drying in the sun, drying and ironing are indispensable necessary links in our daily life. Washing machines, dryers and electric irons have liberated humans from traditional manual operations, enabling people to use the saved time for other work.
[0003] However, the traditional washing, drying and ironing modes have many disadvantages, which are as follows;
[0004] 1. Poor decontamination ability
[0005] In the case of a pulsator washing machine, the water flow generated by the pulsator is used to wash the clothes, and in the case of a drum washing machine, the clothes are tumbled to beat the clothes. Both methods mix the cleaning items into a mass, and the stains are wrapped in it, making it difficult to clean thoroughly. Unlike manual washing, people can spread out the cleaning items and scrub the contaminated areas specifically.
[0006] 2. Long washing time and large water consumption
[0007] Because the rinsing and tumbling decontamination abilities of traditional washing machines are poor, the washing process can only be completed through multiple repeated cycle operations, which results in a long washing time and a large water consumption.
[0008] 3. Serious damage to fabrics
[0009] Whether it is rinsing or tumbling, it ultimately leads to serious entanglement between clothes, which causes great inconvenience to the drying work. At the same time, it also makes the originally relatively flat clothes wrinkle, causing serious damage to the fabric. For many expensive clothes, people still have to wash them by hand.
[0010] 4. The design of traditional washing machines does not take into account the convenience of drying work, and the disconnection in design between the two brings a lot of trouble to the drying work. Drying tools are also diverse, including clothes hangers, trouser hangers, sock hangers, drying racks, which are dazzling and give people a messy look.
[0011] 5. The disconnection between washing, drying and ironing increases the workload of manual operations, resulting in waste of time and equipment procurement funds.
[0012] The utility model patent - a washing, drying and ironing integrated cabinet changes the traditional pulsator rinsing and drum tumbling to rolling scrubbing, spreads out the cleaning items for comprehensive washing, and can also greatly reduce the damage to the fabric. Then, a drying system is reversely designed starting from the convenience of drying work, which can be used for washing, drying, ironing, and also for drying in the sun. Summary of the Utility Model
[0013] This utility model patent has five major advantages;
[0014] 1. Strong decontamination ability
[0015] This patent adopts the rolling scrubbing mode of the brush. A special drying system is designed to lay a cleaning object flat between two brush strips. The two sides of the brush strips sandwich the cleaning object, and a comprehensive drum-type scrubbing is carried out, greatly improving the decontamination ability. It can also overcome the drawback that traditional washing machines become more entangled during washing, and make the objects smoother after washing.
[0016] 2. Fast laundry speed and less water consumption
[0017] Due to the adoption of the rolling scrubbing technology, the cleaning efficiency is high, the washing speed is fast, and water is saved at the same time.
[0018] 3. Wide range of cleanable items
[0019] Due to the adoption of the rolling scrubbing mode, the loss of the fabric is very small, and high-grade items such as wool products and flannelette can be cleaned.
[0020] 4. Convenient drying
[0021] This patent is designed with a set of drying system. The cleaning object is laid flat and hung on a special rack (hanger, trouser rack, sundry rack) before washing, and then washed, dried and ironed with the rack. It can also be directly taken out to the balcony for drying after washing.
[0022] 5. Washing, drying and ironing are completed in one go, which can save time, water resources and equipment investment.

[0065] 1. Place the washed items such as clothes and pants separately and flat on the hanger, pants rack, and sundry rack. Then, after tightening the hanger, pants rack, and sundry rack, insert them one by one into the exact middle position of the cabinet rack chute.
[0066] 2. Close the cabinet door, open the water inlet solenoid valve to fill the water tank with water, and turn on the water pump to spray and soak the washed items. Then, turn on the power supply of the linear motor to make it continuously move up and down in a reciprocating motion, so that the washing and squeezing system can repeatedly wash and squeeze the washed items. After that, open the drain solenoid valve to drain the waste water in the water tank, and then open the water inlet solenoid valve and the water pump to wash, spray, and squeeze the washed items.
[0067] 3. If it is sunny, after the washing is completed, you can directly take out the clothes and pants rack from the cabinet rack and insert it into the drying rack on the outer wall of the balcony.
[0068] 4. If it is cloudy, after the washing is completed, turn off the water supply system and turn on the electric heater to dry the washed items. Since the washed items were laid flat before being put into the cabinet and became flatter during the washing process, the steam can complete the ironing process simultaneously while drying.
