[0023] In daily life, due to the large size of washing machines, some universities or residential buildings are limited by space and usually use shared washing machines. This way, multiple people can use the same machine to wash clothes, saving the number of washing machines and thus more rationally planning the space. In the prior art, in order to ensure hygiene and avoid cross-infection of bacteria, shared washing machines are usually configured with detachable inner drums to make shared washing machines more hygienic to use. However, the assembly and disassembly of washing machines requires certain tools and specific operations, making the process of replacing the inner drum of the washing machine more cumbersome, time-consuming, and inconvenient to operate. In addition, the inner drum in the washing machine usually requires various parts to cooperate with each other to fix it and drive it to rotate for washing clothes. The various parts that fix the inner drum and drive the inner drum to rotate are easily worn and loosened during the frequent assembly and disassembly process, which makes the shared washing machine unable to drive the inner drum to rotate for washing clothes, reducing the service life of the shared washing machine.

[0024] The utility model provides a shared washing machine.

[0025] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the shared washing machine 100 includes: a shell 1, a washing drum 2 and a multi-layer isolation layer 3; the washing drum 2 is installed in the shell 1, and the washing drum 2 has a accommodating cavity 21 for accommodating clothes; the multi-layer isolation layer 3 is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, and any two adjacent isolation layers 3 can be peeled off.

[0026] In this embodiment, housing 1 serves as the external support structure for washing drum 2, supporting and protecting it and its internal components. Rotating drum 2 drives the clothing within, allowing friction between the clothing to wash away any stains. Isolation layer 3 isolates the clothing from the inner walls of chamber 21, preventing excessive bacterial adhesion and the transfer of bacteria from other users' clothing during subsequent washes, potentially causing cross-infection. Isolation layer 3 also removes any bacteria attached to its surface when removed, significantly reducing the amount of bacteria remaining within chamber 21 and ensuring standard hygiene within shared washing machine 100.

[0027] In this embodiment, the housing 1 has a mounting cavity for a washing drum 2. The washing drum 2 is secured within the mounting cavity by a support structure within the housing 1. This allows the washing drum 2 to be elevated within the housing 1, thereby reducing vibration of the shared washing machine 100 and the washing drum 2, thereby reducing noise and extending the service life of the shared washing machine 100. Before using the shared washing machine 100, the user installs the washing drum 2 within the mounting cavity. The housing 1 is equipped with a water inlet device at the top of the washing drum 2 to inject fresh water into the washing drum 2 for washing clothes. A drive element within the housing 1 rotates the washing drum 2 to wash and dehydrate the clothes. After the previous washing cycle is completed, the innermost insulating layer 3 is peeled off, exposing a new, unused insulating layer 3 for the next washing cycle. The insulating layer 3 can be made of a relatively soft material, a multi-layer film structure that conforms to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, such as waterproof paper with an adhesive layer or elastic silicone. After use, the newly used layer is peeled off. When the multi-layer insulating layer 3 is exhausted, a new layer of insulating layer 3 is replaced and the shared washing machine can be reused. In other embodiments, a multi-layer nested sleeve structure with a limiting structure between each other that can transmit power can also be used. The multi-layer sleeves are driven to rotate simultaneously by a driving member. After use, one layer of sleeve is taken out and can be cleaned in the next layer of sleeve. The sleeve can be used repeatedly, and after multiple sleeves are used up, they can be cleaned, disinfected and reloaded.

[0028] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide a washing drum 2 for accommodating clothes in a shared washing machine 100, and to provide a plurality of isolation layers 3 in the washing drum 2. The plurality of isolation layers 3 are arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 and can be peeled off from each other. A layer can be torn off after each use, thereby taking away the hair or dirt attached to each isolation layer 3, so as to ensure the sanitary environment in the washing drum 2 and avoid cross infection through the shared washing machine 100; by tearing off only one isolation layer 3 after each use of the washing machine without the need to disassemble the washing drum 2, the frequency of disassembly of the washing drum 2 is reduced. After the plurality of isolation layers 3 are completely used up, the washing drum 2 only needs to be removed and the isolation layer 3 re-applied, and the washing drum 2 can be installed and used again, thereby reducing the wear of parts during repeated assembly and disassembly of parts and extending the service life of the shared washing machine 100.

[0029] In one embodiment, any two adjacent isolation layers 3 are bonded together by a colloid. The side of each isolation layer 3 closest to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 is bonded to the colloid, while the side of each isolation layer 3 facing away from the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 is sealed with waterproof paper. The colloid is used to bond the multiple isolation layers 3 together. Because the washing machine washes clothes by rotating the washing drum 2, the force exerted by the clothes on the isolation layer 3 extends along the circumference of the washing drum 2. Therefore, the entire surface of the colloid can generate friction to resist this force. When the clothes rotate in the washing drum 2, the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the clothes can press the isolation layer 3 against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21. This ensures that the isolation layer 3 remains bonded to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 during washing and does not fall off. The waterproof paper is sealed with a waterproof material, which can not only ensure the softness of each isolation layer 3 so that it can fit the shape of the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21, but also provide a surface without residual colloid for the colloid of the adjacent isolation layer 3 to fit, so that each isolation layer 3 can be torn off and the colloid will not remain on the next isolation layer 3 and be carried into the clothes to be washed next time.

[0030] In one embodiment, the accommodating cavity 21 has a bottom wall and side walls, and the isolation layer 3 includes a first isolation layer 3 and a second isolation layer 3. The first isolation layer 3 is attached to the bottom wall, and the second isolation layer 3 is attached to the side walls. Since the bottom wall and the side walls of the accommodating cavity 21 are usually at an angle at the junction, if the isolation layer 3 is attached to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 in its entirety, wrinkles are likely to form at the junction of the bottom wall and the side walls, which is not conducive to the adhesion of the isolation layer 3 to the accommodating cavity 21. The wrinkles may also cause the inner isolation layer 3 to peel off prematurely. Therefore, the isolation layer 3 is divided into a first isolation layer 3 and a second isolation layer 3. The first isolation layer 3 is circular and matches the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 21. The second isolation layer 3 is formed by rolling the parallelogram-shaped isolation layer 3 into a cylindrical shape along the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 and is attached to the side wall.

[0031] In one embodiment, each second insulating layer 3 has a splicing line extending axially along the washing drum 2 and / or extending spirally along the inner wall of the washing drum 2. The splicing line is used to join the broken ends of the second insulating layer 3 to form a cylindrical shape that completely covers the inner wall of the washing drum 2. The splicing line also forms a tear notch. During manufacturing, the splicing lines of adjacent insulating layers 3 can be staggered or provided with staggered notches to facilitate removal of each insulating layer 3.

[0032] In one embodiment, the washing drum 2 comprises an inner drum 22 and an outer drum 23. The outer drum 23 is mounted within the housing 1, and the inner drum 22 is rotatably mounted within the outer drum 23. The inner drum 22 defines a receiving chamber 21, and an isolation layer 3 is attached to the inner wall of the inner drum 22. The outer drum 23 is sleeved onto the inner drum 22; the outer drum 23 serves as the washing machine's water storage tank, holding clean water for soaking and washing clothes, and draining the washed water after washing. The inner drum 22 serves as the washing machine's spin drum, and the inner drum 22 typically has a drainage hole 221 on its wall. During high-speed rotation, the centrifugal force forces the washed clothes out of the inner drum 22 through the drainage hole 221, achieving the purpose of dehydration. The isolation layer 3 is attached to the inner wall of the inner drum 22 to isolate the inner wall of the inner drum 22 from the clothes.

[0033] In one embodiment, a water storage chamber is formed between the outer drum 23 and the inner drum 22. The inner drum 22 has multiple water leakage holes 221 connected to the water storage chamber, and the isolation layer 3 has a through hole connected to the water leakage holes 221. The outer drum 23 and the inner drum 22 are nested with each other, and the gap between the inner drum 22 and the outer drum 23 forms a water storage chamber. The water leakage holes 221 in the inner drum 22 are used to allow water to be pumped into the water storage chamber through the water leakage holes 221 during the dehydration process, and then discharged through the water outlet of the outer drum 23. The isolation layer 3 has a through hole at a position corresponding to the water leakage hole 221. The through hole is coaxial with the water leakage hole 221 and has a diameter greater than or equal to the water leakage hole 221 to avoid affecting the dehydration function of the washing machine.

[0034] In one embodiment, the shared washing machine 100 further includes a water outlet pipe 5. The outer drum 23 has a first water outlet, and the housing 1 has a second water outlet. The water outlet pipe 5 connects the first water outlet and the second water outlet. The water outlet pipe 5 is used to drain the water after washing in the washing machine, as well as to drain the water spun out during the dehydration process. The first water outlet connects to an external water storage chamber, and the second water outlet connects to the outside world. A valve is provided in the water outlet pipe 5 to control the flow of water in the water outlet pipe 5 as needed. When the washing machine is washing clothes, the valve is closed. When the washing machine needs to drain water and dehydrate clothes, the valve is opened to allow the water in the water storage chamber to flow out.

[0035] In one embodiment, a transmission member 222 is provided on the side of the inner drum 22 adjacent to the outer drum 23. The inner drum 22 is fixedly connected to the transmission member 222, which is rotatably connected to the outer drum 23. The transmission member 222 is in driving connection with the output shaft of the power unit. When the inner drum 22 is mounted on the transmission member 222, the inner drum 22 is driven by the transmission member 222 to rotate for washing clothes. When the inner drum 22 needs to be removed from the isolation layer 3, the inner drum 22 can be removed from the transmission member 222 without having to be removed. The transmission member 222 allows the inner drum 22 to be suspended within the outer drum 23, maintaining a gap between the inner drum 22 and the outer drum 23 to form a water storage chamber. The transmission member 222 also limits the position of the inner drum 22, facilitating its installation, fixing, and removal.

[0036] In one embodiment, the shared washing machine 100 further includes a power element 4, which drives and connects to a transmission element 222, thereby rotating the inner drum 22 via the transmission element 222. The power element 4 is positioned between the outer drum 23 and the housing 1. A first input hole is defined at the bottom of the outer drum 23 for the power element 4 to pass through. The power element 4 is connected to the transmission element 222 through the first input hole. The power element 4 is sealed to the wall of the first input hole to prevent moisture in the outer drum 23 from entering the housing 1 through the first input hole and damaging the power element 4. A second input hole is defined at the bottom of the transmission element 222, through which the power element 4 drives the transmission element 222 to rotate. The power element 4 includes a motor and a reducer; the reducer and the power element 4 work together to drive the inner drum 22 to rotate via the transmission element 222, thereby performing washing and dehydration operations.

[0037] In one embodiment, the shared washing machine 100 further includes a cover 6 for covering the opening of the accommodating chamber 21. The cover 6 prevents water from splashing out of the top opening of the washing tub 2 during operation, thereby polluting the environment. The cover 6 can be hingedly connected by multiple panels to form a foldable structure. This prevents the cover 6 from being too large, too high, or too wide when opened, which could easily damage the cover 6.

[0038] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
