[0044] An embodiment of the present application provides a drum assembly and a clothing processing device to solve the problem that the existing dryer's humidity detection function for clothing requires additional power consumption to achieve, resulting in increased usage costs. The following will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0045] The drum assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a clothes processing device. Figures 1 to 6 The drum assembly includes a drum body 1 and a power supply structure 3. A first electrode and a second electrode are spaced apart within the drum body 1, and are used to detect the moisture content of clothing. The power supply structure 3 is disposed within the drum body 1 and includes a magnetic core coil 31 and a conductor 33. The ends of the magnetic core coil 31 are electrically connected to the first and second electrodes, respectively. The conductor 33 passes through the magnetic core coil 31. When the drum body 1 rotates, the conductor 33 cuts the magnetic flux lines, causing the magnetic core coil 31 to supply power to the first and second electrodes. In some examples, the conductor 33 may be an iron core.
[0046] The barrel assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a power supply structure 3 for supplying power to the first electrode and the second electrode, and the power supply structure 3 utilizes the rotation of the barrel body 1 to drive the conductor 33 to move in the magnetic core coil 31, thereby causing the conductor 33 to cut the magnetic field formed by the magnetic core coil 31, so that current is generated inside the magnetic core coil 31, and then power is supplied to the first electrode and the second electrode through the magnetic core coil 31. That is, there is no need for the clothing processing device to supply power to the first electrode and the second electrode separately. Only by utilizing the rotation of the barrel body 1 when the clothing processing device is working, the power generation function of the power supply structure 3 can be realized and the energy required for the first electrode and the second electrode to work can be provided, thereby saving usage costs.
[0047] Optionally, the drum body 1 is an inner drum, and the clothes processing device further includes an outer drum, and the inner drum is rotatably connected in the outer drum.
[0048] Optionally, see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a first structural diagram of the barrel assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The cross-sectional view at AA in the middle, Figure 3 for Figure 2 In the cross-sectional view at point B, the barrel body 1 is at least partially made of a conductive material to form a first electrode. The barrel assembly also includes a lifting rib 2 and an insulating portion 22. The lifting rib 2 is disposed within the barrel body 1 and is at least partially made of a conductive material to form a second electrode. The insulating portion 22 is disposed between the lifting rib 2 and the barrel body 1 to isolate the first and second electrodes.
[0049] Compared with the existing electrode design that usually uses two metal sheets, due to the usually small volume of the metal sheets, not only is the connection structure of the metal sheets more complicated, but the contact area between the metal sheets and the clothes is also small, and the detection results are usually limited. The embodiment provided by the present application sets at least part of the material of the barrel body 1 and the lifting ribs 2 to a conductive material, and sets an insulating portion 22 between the barrel body 1 and the lifting ribs 2. This achieves the electrode setting for humidity detection without adding any structure, which simplifies the production process. At the same time, due to the large area of the barrel body 1 and the lifting ribs 2, this structure also increases the contact area between the electrodes and the clothes. The larger the amount of clothes accommodated between the two electrodes, the more accurate the detection result, preventing inaccurate detection results due to a small amount of clothes collected, and avoiding the situation where the clothes are too dry or not dry due to inaccurate detection results. At the same time, the setting of the insulating portion 22 achieves an insulation effect between the two electrodes, so that the two electrodes are only conductive through wet clothes, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results.
[0050] The shape of the insulating portion 22 is not further limited here. In terms of material selection, the insulating portion 22 can be made of one or more of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), rubber or glass fiber.
[0051] Furthermore, the conductive material used for the cylinder body 1 and the lifting rib 2 can also have corrosion resistance, such as stainless steel: stainless steel such as 304, 316 and other grades, has good conductivity and corrosion resistance, and is often used to manufacture outdoor equipment and structures; titanium, titanium and its alloys have excellent corrosion resistance, especially in acidic environments, and also have good conductivity; nickel, nickel is a corrosion-resistant metal, especially nickel alloys such as Hastelloy; platinum, platinum is a precious metal with excellent corrosion resistance and conductivity; silver, silver not only has good conductivity, but also has certain corrosion resistance, especially in dry environments; copper alloys: such as brass (copper-zinc alloy), Bronze (copper-tin alloy) and phosphor bronze (copper-phosphorus alloy), etc., have good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance; Aluminum: Aluminum itself has a certain electrical conductivity, and an oxide film can be formed on the surface of aluminum, providing a certain degree of corrosion resistance; Graphite: Graphite has good electrical conductivity, is very stable in most chemical environments, and has good corrosion resistance; Titanium alloy, titanium alloy has excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature performance, and also has good electrical conductivity; Inconel alloy: This is a high-temperature alloy with good corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity; Weathering steel, weathering steel is a type of steel with good corrosion resistance and weathering resistance, which contains a high proportion of elements such as copper, phosphorus and chromium, which can resist oxidation and corrosion. When choosing a conductive and corrosion-resistant material, it is necessary to consider the specific application environment and performance requirements, including factors such as the material's conductivity, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, cost and processability.
[0052] It is understood that the lifting ribs 2 are a crucial component in a washing machine. Their primary function is to lift clothing during the wash cycle, allowing them to be better beaten and agitated in the drum, thereby improving the washing effect. The lifting ribs 2 rotate with the clothing, lifting it out of the liquid and delivering it to a certain height. Due to gravity, the clothing falls back into the detergent, where it collides with the liquid, creating a beating and tumbling effect, which helps remove stubborn stains. Different brands and models of washing machines may utilize different types of lifting rib 2 designs. Examples include S-shaped lifting ribs, forward and reverse elastic ribs, and microporous dehydration processes, which reduce wear and improve the cleaning ratio. This type of lifting ribs 2 can increase the number of times clothes are turned over, flick off stubborn stains, stimulate the elasticity of fabric fibers, and keep clothes fluffy and soft after washing; or the whale-wing lifting ribs 2, which adopt an S-shaped bionic design, with 36 raindrop-like contact points asymmetrically distributed on both sides, providing just the right massage-like washing for clothes, while increasing the friction of the lifting ribs 2, lifting the clothes to the highest point of the inner drum, and the weight of the clothes and the weight of the water fall at the same time, achieving a greater falling gravity to hit the clothes; or submarine-type lifting ribs 2, which lift the clothes and water to the highest point of the inner barrel, and the weight of the clothes and the weight of the water fall at the same time, achieving a greater falling gravity to hit the clothes, increasing the friction on the clothes and water, and improving the cleanliness of clothes, and the ultra-thin drum inner barrel wall has been innovated, using a wave-like corrugated curve to increase the friction area between the inner barrel and water, and between the inner barrel and clothes, better helping the washing machine to lift water and clothes to the highest point, greatly improving the cleanliness.
[0053] Furthermore, the drum body 1 can be made entirely of conductive materials, and the lifting ribs 2 can also be made entirely of conductive materials, thereby further increasing the surface area of the first electrode and the second electrode, and then increasing the amount of clothing that can be clamped between the first electrode and the second electrode, expanding the data collection surface, and ensuring the accuracy of the detection results.
[0054] The specific type of the humidity sensor formed by the first electrode and the second electrode is not further limited here. For example, it can be a capacitive humidity sensor, which indirectly calculates the relative humidity by measuring the change in the capacitance value between the first electrode and the second electrode. Here, clothes with different humidity levels cause the capacitance value between the first electrode and the second electrode to change; or it can be a resistive humidity sensor, which infers the humidity level by measuring the change in the resistance value between the first electrode and the second electrode. Here, clothes with different humidity levels cause the resistance value between the first electrode and the second electrode to change; or it can be a semiconductor 33 type humidity sensor, which utilizes the characteristic that the conductivity of the semiconductor 33 changes with humidity.
[0055] Alternatively, as another implementation, see Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 4 This is a second structural diagram of the barrel assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 for Figure 4 Cross-sectional view at CC, Figure 6 for Figure 5 In the cross-sectional view at point D, the barrel body 1 can be made of an insulating material. The barrel assembly also includes a lifting rib 2 and an insulating portion 22. The lifting rib 2 is disposed within the barrel body 1. The insulating portion 22 is disposed on the lifting rib 2 and separates the lifting rib 2 into a first portion and a second portion. At least a portion of the first portion is made of a conductive material to form a first electrode, and at least a portion of the second portion is made of a conductive material to form a second electrode.
[0056] That is, the lifting rib 2 is divided into two parts by the insulating part 22, so that the two parts of the lifting rib 2 can respectively use conductive materials as the first electrode and the second electrode. Similarly, there is no need to set other structures as electrodes in the clothing processing device. The structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low. At the same time, it avoids setting protruding electrodes in the drum body 1 to prevent the electrodes from hooking clothes and causing damage to the clothes.
[0057] Furthermore, the first part and the second part of the lifting rib 2 can both be made of conductive materials, thereby further increasing the surface area of the first electrode and the second electrode, thereby increasing the amount of clothing that can be clamped between the first electrode and the second electrode, expanding the data collection surface, and ensuring the accuracy of the detection results.
[0058] Here, the insulating material used in the barrel body 1 can refer to the description of the material used in the insulating portion 22 mentioned above, and no further explanation is given here.
[0059] Optionally, the clothing processing device also includes a main board; the drum assembly also includes a Bluetooth module 4, which is connected in series between the magnetic core coil 31 and the first electrode, or the Bluetooth module 4 is connected in series between the magnetic core coil 31 and the first electrode, and the Bluetooth module 4 is used to send the humidity data measured by the first electrode and the second electrode to the main board.
[0060] That is, the magnetic core coil 31 can simultaneously power the first electrode, the second electrode and the Bluetooth module 4, ensuring the energy consumption required for the operation of the first electrode, the second electrode and the Bluetooth module 4. At the same time, the Bluetooth module 4 realizes communication between the first electrode, the second electrode and the mainboard of the clothing processing device, thereby realizing data transmission.
[0061] Furthermore, a Bluetooth module 4 may be provided on the mainboard, that is, wireless communication is achieved between the mainboard and the first electrode and the second electrode through two Bluetooth modules 4, thereby avoiding wiring position problems caused by wired circuits and saving installation space.
[0062] It is understood that the Bluetooth module 4 is a wireless communication module that integrates a Bluetooth chip and related hardware circuits to enable connection and data transmission between Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth module 4 typically includes components such as a Bluetooth chip, an antenna, a power management circuit, and a radio frequency circuit. The primary function of the Bluetooth module 4 is to provide wireless data transmission, enabling communication between devices via wireless signals, thereby enabling interconnection and interaction between devices.
[0063] The mainboard of a laundry processing device is the core control component, primarily responsible for controlling and coordinating various device operations. A mainboard typically consists of the following components: A microprocessor, as the core of the main control board, is responsible for performing various computational and control tasks, parsing instructions, and controlling the operation of other hardware components. Memory, used to store programs and data, includes read-only memory (ROM) and random-access memory (RAM). ROM typically stores the device's firmware, while RAM temporarily stores runtime data and instructions. Input / output interfaces (I / O interfaces) connect and control various I / O devices, such as buttons, displays, sensors, and other peripherals. Timers and counters perform timing and counting tasks, such as controlling motor speed and monitoring device runtime. Communication interfaces facilitate data communication with other devices or systems and may include wired (such as USB, Ethernet) or wireless (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) interfaces. Power Management is responsible for managing the power supply to the main control board and the entire device, including voltage regulation, current control, and power switching. Driver Circuits are used to control and drive various hardware components, such as motors, heaters, and fans. The motherboard's workflow typically includes initializing the device, executing user input commands, controlling device operation, monitoring device status, and handling potential errors. In clothing processing equipment, the main control board adjusts and controls the operation of related components based on the device's specific functions, such as washing, rinsing, and dehydration, to ensure that clothing is effectively processed.
[0064] Optionally, the barrel assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a rectifier module 5, which is connected in series between the magnetic core coil 31 and the Bluetooth module 4. By providing the rectifier module 5, the stability of the Bluetooth module 4 and the first and second electrodes is ensured.
[0065] The rectifier module 5 is an electronic device whose primary function is to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). The rectifier module 5 typically includes the following key components: a rectifier, which is the core of the rectifier module 5 and converts AC into DC. A rectifier can be a simple diode rectifier or a more efficient transistor or chip rectifier. A filter, which smooths the DC output and removes ripples generated during the conversion process. Typically, capacitors or inductors are used to filter out high-frequency noise and ripple. A regulator, which ensures output voltage stability and prevents voltage fluctuations from affecting connected devices. It can adjust the output voltage through a voltage feedback mechanism. A protection circuit, which typically includes overload protection and short-circuit protection to prevent damage to equipment due to overcurrent or short circuits. A control circuit, which may also be included in some advanced rectifier modules 5, monitors and adjusts the operating status of the rectifier module 5.
[0066] Optionally, the extension direction of the conductor 33 intersects with the axial direction of the cylinder body 1, thereby ensuring that when the cylinder body 1 rotates, the conductor 33 can move up and down in the magnetic core coil 31 under the influence of gravity, thereby achieving cutting of the magnetic field of the magnetic core coil 31.
[0067] Preferably, the conductor 33 extends radially along the cylinder body 1 . At this time, the conductor 33 moves at the fastest frequency and the largest amplitude, achieving the most efficient power generation effect and making full use of the rotation of the cylinder body 1 .
[0068] Optionally, the lifting ribs 2 and the barrel body 1 are jointly arranged to form a mounting cavity 21 , and the power supply structure 3 is arranged in the mounting cavity 21 ; and both ends of the magnetic core coil 31 are electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode respectively.
[0069] By installing the power supply structure 3 in the installation cavity 21, the structure inside the cylinder body 1 is made simpler, avoiding occupying the storage space inside the cylinder body 1, and realizing the concealed design of the power supply structure 3. Since the cavity wall of the installation cavity 21 includes the lifting rib 2 part and the cylinder body 1 part, when the magnetic core coil 31 is connected to the first electrode and the second electrode, the wiring length is short, and there is no need to set an excessively long connecting line, thereby reducing the power transmission loss caused by the excessively long line.
[0070] Optionally, the power supply structure 3 also includes a shell 32, which is fixedly installed in the installation cavity 21, and the magnetic core coil 31 is arranged in the shell 32, and the two ends of the magnetic core coil 31 pass through the shell 32 and are electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode respectively; the conductor 33 is passed through the magnetic core coil 31, and in the extension direction of the magnetic core coil 31, the length of the conductor 33 is less than the length of the shell 32.
[0071] That is, the shell 32 provides a shielding structure for the movement of the conductor 33, preventing the conductor 33 from escaping from the magnetic core coil 31 when moving, ensuring that the conductor 33 is always inserted into the magnetic core coil 31. At the same time, the shell 32 also provides a mounting structure for the magnetic core coil 31 and the conductor 33. The connection method between the conductor 33 and the mounting cavity 21 is not further limited here. For example, it can be clamping, welding, riveting, etc. Among them, the outer periphery of the magnetic core coil 31 can be fitted with the shell 32. By setting the length of the conductor 33 to be smaller than the length of the shell 32, the conductor 33 has space to move in the shell 32, preventing the conductor 33 from being stuck in the shell 32 and unable to cut the magnetic flux lines.
[0072] Optionally, a pair of buffer portions are provided in the housing 32 so that the conductor 33 abuts against the housing 32 through the buffer portions when the conductor 33 moves with the cylinder body 1. The provision of the buffer portions provides a buffer structure for the impact between the conductor 33 and the housing 32, thereby preventing damage to the housing 32 or the conductor 33 due to impact over time and extending the service life.
[0073] The shape, material and structure of the buffer portion are not further limited here, and may be a buffer pad or a buffer block, made of rubber or foam material.
[0074] The present application also provides a clothes processing device. Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application, which includes a main board and a drum assembly as described above. The drum assembly includes a drum body 1 and a power supply structure 3. A first electrode and a second electrode are provided in the drum body 1 at intervals. The first electrode and the second electrode are used to detect the humidity of the clothing and send the detection results to the main board; the power supply structure 3 is provided in the drum body 1 and includes a magnetic core coil 31 and a conductor 33. The two ends of the magnetic core coil 31 are electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode respectively. The conductor 33 is provided through the magnetic core coil 31. When the drum body 1 rotates, it drives the conductor 33 to cut the magnetic flux lines, so that the magnetic core coil 31 supplies power to the first electrode and the second electrode.
[0075] Optionally, the clothing processing device may be a clothes dryer or a washer-dryer, and the model of the clothing processing device is not further limited here.
