[0034] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0035] The following is for reference. Figures 1-5 This application describes an atomizing device 100 for a clothing processing device 200 according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0036] The atomizing device 100 for a clothing processing device 200 according to an embodiment of this application includes a housing 1, the housing 1 having a first channel 11 and a second channel 12 separated from each other, the first channel 11 being used for circulating active gas, the second channel 12 being adapted for circulating washing medium, and the outlet of the first channel 11 and the outlet of the second channel 12 being respectively connected to the clothing processing chamber.

[0037] According to the atomizing device 100 for a clothing processing device 200 according to an embodiment of this application, the first channel 11 for circulating active gas and the second channel 12 for circulating washing medium in the housing 1 are isolated from each other. In the field of clothing processing devices 200, active gas generally refers to a gas capable of performing specific treatments on the surface of clothing in a plasma state. Washing medium generally refers to a medium used in the washing process that can dissolve, suspend, or remove dirt. Because the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 are isolated from each other, premature mixing of the active gas in the first channel 11 and the washing medium in the second channel 12 can be avoided. The active gas reacts with the washing medium before reaching the clothing processing chamber. The detergent is pre-mixed, and the surfactants and enzymes contained in the detergent will react chemically with the active gas. The unsaturated bonds in the surfactant molecules and enzymes in the detergent will be oxidized or reduced by the active gas, which will destroy the chemical structure of the detergent and thus lose its original cleaning and emulsifying ability. At the same time, the active gas itself will also be consumed or transformed due to the reaction with the detergent, which will weaken the sterilization and deodorization ability of the active gas. Through the first channel 11 and the second channel 12, which are isolated from each other, the active gas and the detergent can maintain the stability of their chemical properties in their own independent environment, ensuring that they can play their role in the best condition when entering the garment processing chamber.

[0038] Specifically, the active gas in the garment processing equipment 200 typically refers to a gas with bactericidal properties. When the active gas enters the garment processing chamber through the first channel 11 and exits, it comes into contact with the garment. Due to the chemical properties of the active gas, it can react with bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms on the garment, thereby inactivating the microorganisms and achieving a bactericidal effect. The active gas can also react chemically with odor-producing substances, combining with or altering their structure to transform odorous substances into odorless or mildly odorous substances, thus keeping the garment fresh. The washing medium enters the garment processing chamber through the second channel 12 and exits. After contacting the dirt, the washing medium peels the dirt off the surface of the garment. At the same time, other components in the washing medium can react chemically with the dirt, further decomposing and removing the dirt, thereby improving the cleanliness of the garment.

[0039] Through the synergistic effect of active gases and washing media in the garment treatment chamber, the washing media exposes bacteria and odor sources in the dirt during the dirt removal process, allowing the active gases to more effectively exert their bactericidal and deodorizing effects. While bactericidal and deodorizing, the active gases also change the physical and chemical properties of the garment surface, which is conducive to better contact between the washing media and the garment and its cleaning effect. This improves the cleanliness of the garments by sterilizing and deodorizing them.

[0040] The atomizing device 100 for a clothing processing device 200 according to some embodiments of this application further includes a driving unit 2, which is connected to at least one of the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 and is adapted to drive at least one of the active gas and the washing medium to flow into the clothing processing chamber.

[0041] The drive unit 2 provides power for the flow of active gas and washing medium, driving at least one of the active gas and washing medium to flow into the garment processing chamber. This avoids the problem of uneven supply of active gas and washing medium caused by natural diffusion of active gas and washing medium in the garment processing chamber when there is no drive unit 2. When processing a large number of garments, it avoids the situation where the garments near the outlet of the first channel 11 and the second channel 12 are processed well, while the garments far from the outlet are not processed sufficiently. This ensures that the garments in the garment processing chamber can receive the action of active gas and washing medium under the same processing conditions.

[0042] The drive unit 2 can be equipped with a component for adjusting the power of the drive unit, so that the drive unit 2 can control the flow rate of the active gas and the washing medium. For different types of clothes, different degrees of pollution, and different treatment needs, the flow rate of the active gas or washing medium entering the clothes treatment chamber can be adjusted by the drive unit 2. For lightly soiled clothes with little odor, the flow rate of the active gas and washing medium can be reduced to avoid over-treatment; while for heavily soiled clothes with serious bacterial growth and strong odor, the flow rate can be increased to ensure sufficient sterilization, deodorization, and stain removal effects.

[0043] The atomizing device 100 for a garment processing device 200 according to some embodiments of this application further includes an ion generator 3 and an atomizing generator 4. The ion generator 3 is disposed in a first channel 11 and is adapted to generate active gas, and the atomizing generator 4 is disposed in a second channel 12 and is adapted to atomize the washing medium.

[0044] The ion generator 3 is set in the first channel 11 to generate active gas, so that active gas can be generated in the ion generator 3, laying the foundation for the active gas to be introduced into the clothing treatment chamber. By controlling the working voltage, current and other conditions of the ion generator 3, active gas with specific ions (such as ozone ions and other ions with sterilization and deodorization functions) can be generated, ensuring the targetedness and effectiveness of sterilization and deodorization effects. Compared to the existing technology of introducing active gas from the outside, the method of generating it within the channel can better meet the processing requirements of the garment processing equipment 200, avoiding the problem of poor processing effect caused by unstable active gas source or inaccurate composition. The atomizer 4 is set in the second channel 12. After the atomizer 4 atomizes the washing medium, it increases the contact area between the washing medium and the clothes. The atomized washing medium forms tiny droplets, which can be evenly distributed in the garment processing chamber and penetrate into the fibers of the clothes more easily. Compared with the traditional method of directly spraying liquid washing medium, the atomized washing medium can more fully cover the surface of the clothes, so that the effective ingredients in the washing medium can more effectively play the role of cleaning, improve the utilization efficiency of the washing medium, and achieve a good cleaning effect with less washing medium, while also reducing the waste of washing medium.

[0045] It should be noted that the amount of mist produced by the atomizing device 100 depends on the working intensity of the atomizing generator 4. In some embodiments of this application, the atomizing generator 4 is constructed as an atomizing plate. The higher the vibration frequency of the atomizing plate, the finer the size of the water mist, and the more obvious the water mist effect produced by consuming the same amount of water. When the vibration frequency of the atomizing plate is 1.7MHz, the size of the atomized droplets is 2µm. When the vibration frequency of the atomizing plate is 2.4MHz, the size of the atomized droplets is 1.5µm. When the vibration frequency of the atomizing plate is 3.2MHz, the size of the atomized droplets is 1.3µm.

[0046] According to some embodiments of this application, an atomizing device 100 for a clothing processing device 200 includes a housing 1 comprising a housing body 13 and a housing cover 14. A partition is provided inside the housing body 13 to divide the housing 1 into a first channel 11 and a second channel 12. The housing cover 14 is disposed on the housing body 13, and a driving unit 2 is disposed inside the housing cover 14. A flow guiding cavity 141 is formed inside the housing cover 14, and the flow guiding cavity 141 is connected to at least one of the first channel 11 and the second channel 12.

[0047] The shell body 13 is divided into a first channel 11 and a second channel 12 by a partition, which ensures that the active gas and the washing medium flow in their respective independent channels, effectively avoiding mutual interference and premature mixing during the transmission process. The outer shell cover 14 is set on the shell body 13, which can prevent external dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the outer shell cover 14, extending the service life of the atomizing device 100 and the entire clothing treatment equipment 200. The guide cavity 141 is connected to at least one of the first channel 11 and the second channel 12. Since the driving unit 2 is set inside the outer shell cover 14, the guide cavity 141 is formed inside the outer shell cover 14. The driving unit 2 can drive at least one of the active gas and the washing medium through the guide cavity 141. The power generated by the driving unit 2 can be transmitted to the active gas or the washing medium through the guide cavity 141, which can cause at least one of the active gas or the washing medium to flow into the clothing treatment cavity, ensuring that the clothing treatment process can be carried out stably and continuously, while avoiding power loss during the transmission process.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the flow guiding cavity 141 is connected to both the first channel 11 and the second channel 12, and the driving unit 2 drives the active gas and washing medium to flow into the clothing processing cavity.

[0049] The atomizing device 100 for a clothing processing device 200 according to some embodiments of this application further includes a nozzle 5, wherein a first flow channel 51 and a second flow channel 52 are provided in the nozzle 5 and communicate with each other, the outlet of the nozzle 5 is communicated with the first flow channel 51 and disposed in the clothing processing chamber, the first flow channel 51 is communicated with the outlet of the first channel 11, and the second flow channel 52 is communicated with the outlet of the second channel 12.

[0050] The nozzle 5 is provided with a first flow channel 51 and a second flow channel 52 that are connected to each other. They are respectively connected to the outlets of the first channel 11 and the second channel 12, so that the active gas and the washing medium can be transported through their respective flow channels. The active gas flowing out of the first channel 11 passes through the first flow channel 51, and the washing medium flowing out of the second channel 12 passes through the second flow channel 52. They maintain relatively independent paths inside the nozzle 5, which avoids premature contact between the active gas and the washing medium, which would weaken the sterilization and washing functions of the active gas and the washing medium.

[0051] The nozzle 5 has its outlet located in the garment processing chamber, which allows for precise positioning of the active gas and washing medium. By adjusting the angle of the nozzle 5 outlet, the active gas and washing medium can be applied more effectively to these areas, thus improving the efficiency and effectiveness of garment processing.

[0052] It should be noted that in the garment processing chamber, there are situations where the active gas and washing medium need to be mixed appropriately to enhance the processing effect. When the active gas and washing medium reach the vicinity of the nozzle 5 outlet through the first flow channel 51 and the second flow channel 52 respectively, since the first flow channel 51 and the second flow channel 52 are connected to each other and closer to the garment processing chamber, the active gas and washing medium can achieve relatively uniform mixing in a local area at the moment they flow out of the nozzle 5 outlet and enter the garment processing chamber. The mixing method is more controllable than mixing in advance at other positions of the atomizing device 100, avoiding the weakening of sterilization and washing functions caused by premature contact between the active gas and the washing medium. The short-term mixing can further enhance the synergistic effect of the active gas and the washing medium in the sterilization, deodorization and stain removal process while the active gas and the washing medium still maintain high performance. Specifically, in the process of removing dirt from the surface of the garment, the washing medium will expose the bacteria and odor sources that were originally hidden under the dirt. At this time, the active gas sprayed from the nozzle outlet at the same time can treat these newly exposed bacteria and odor sources in a timely manner. Conversely, the changes that active gases make to the structure of clothing fibers (such as making the fibers fluffier) ​​facilitate better penetration and diffusion of the washing medium. The two work together to form a more efficient clothing treatment cycle, improving the overall quality of clothing treatment.

[0053] According to some embodiments of this application, an atomizing device 100 for a clothing treatment device 200 includes a first flow channel 51 comprising a first segment 511 and a second segment 512. One end of the first segment 511 is connected to the outlet of a first channel 11, one end of the second segment 512 is connected to the other end of the first segment 511, and the other end of the second segment 512 is connected to the outlet of a nozzle 5. The diameter of the second segment 512 is smaller than the diameter of the first segment 511, and a second flow channel 52 is connected to the second segment 512.

[0054] The first flow channel 51 is divided into a first section 511 and a second section 512, and the diameter of the second section 512 is smaller than that of the first section 511. According to the Venturi effect principle, when the fluid passes through the diameter contraction section of the second section 512, the kinetic energy of the fluid increases, and the pressure energy is converted into kinetic energy, which makes the active gas ejected at a higher speed and lower pressure, which is more conducive to its diffusion in the garment processing chamber, enhancing the sterilization and deodorization effect. The second flow channel 52 is connected to the second section 512. Due to the high flow rate and low pressure of the second section 512, the negative pressure generated at the second section 512 can more effectively draw in the washing medium in the second flow channel 52 and mix it with the active gas. During the process of being drawn in, the washing medium is broken into smaller droplets by the high-speed active gas, which increases its surface area and is conducive to its cleaning effect in the garment processing chamber. At the same time, the kinetic energy of the active gas is transferred to the washing medium, giving the washing medium a stronger scouring and penetrating ability when it comes into contact with the clothes. Since the first section 511, the second section 512 and the second flow channel 52 connected to the second section 512 constitute a Venturi tube, the Venturi tube enhances the flow characteristics of the active gas and the washing medium, allowing the active gas to penetrate the clothing fibers more deeply and reach the inner layer of the clothing. Meanwhile, with the help of the Venturi effect, the washing medium can more comprehensively cover the surface of the clothing, thereby further improving the comprehensiveness of clothing treatment.

[0055] According to some embodiments of this application, the atomizing device 100 for a clothing processing device 200 includes a first flow channel 51 further comprising a third segment 513, one end of which is connected to the other end of the second segment 512, and the other end of which is connected to the outlet of the nozzle 5; and the diameter of the third segment 513 is larger than the diameter of the second segment 512.

[0056] Furthermore, the diameter of the third section 513 is increased, which leads to a decrease in pressure. During the transition from the second section 512 to the third section 513, the pressure will rise, which helps to form a more stable spray state at the nozzle 5 outlet. This allows the active gas and washing medium to be sprayed more evenly from the nozzle 5 and cover the clothes. Compared to spraying directly from the second section 512, the transition through the third section 513 can prevent the active gas and washing medium from impacting the clothes at an excessively high speed, reducing potential damage to the clothes.

[0057] Meanwhile, the third section 513 provides space for further optimization of the mixing effect of the mixed fluid. The larger diameter allows the mixed fluid to interact and disperse more fully. Due to the reduced flow rate, the mixed fluid has more time and space to achieve more uniform mixing, ensuring that the mixed fluid sprayed from the nozzle 5 outlet is a more uniformly mixed fluid in terms of composition and distribution. This allows it to better play a synergistic role in the garment treatment chamber and improve the overall effect of sterilization, deodorization and stain removal.

[0058] According to some embodiments of this application, the atomizing device 100 for a clothing treatment device 200 has a drive unit 2 configured as a pump body. The pump body is provided with a pump body inlet and a pump body outlet. The pump body inlet is connected to a first channel 11, and the pump body outlet is connected to one end of a first segment 511. The pump body is adapted to drive active gas to flow to the nozzle 5.

[0059] The drive unit 2 is constructed as a pump body, which can provide stable power for the flow of active gas. During the operation of the garment processing equipment 200, the pump body can work stably according to the set parameters, ensuring that the active gas can continuously flow from the first channel 11 through the pump body to the nozzle 5 and finally enter the garment processing chamber. The stable power supply ensures the continuity of the garment processing process and avoids interruption or fluctuation of the active gas supply due to insufficient or unstable power, thereby affecting the garment processing effect.

[0060] The pump body can control the flow rate and velocity of the active gas. By adjusting the pump body's speed, stroke, and other operating parameters, the amount and flow rate of the active gas entering the garment treatment chamber can be adjusted according to the type of clothing and the degree of contamination. For heavily contaminated clothing with a high bacterial growth rate, the pump body's operating parameters can be increased to enhance the sterilization and deodorization effects. For lightly contaminated clothing, the pump body parameters can be appropriately reduced to decrease the supply of active gas, thereby saving energy and avoiding over-treatment.

[0061] It should be noted that the pump body drives the active gas to flow to the nozzle 5, and at this time the washing medium is drawn into the first channel 51 through the second channel 52 via the venturi tube and reaches the clothing processing chamber.

[0062] According to some embodiments of this application, an atomizing device 100 for a clothing processing device 200 has a water storage cavity 15 formed inside the housing 1. The water storage cavity 15 is connected to a second channel 12, and the inlet of the second channel 12 is located at the bottom of the water storage cavity 15.

[0063] The housing 1 forms a water storage chamber 15 that is connected to the second channel 12, providing a continuous supply of washing medium. During the operation of the clothing processing equipment 200, the water storage chamber 15 can store a certain amount of water as a carrier for the washing medium, ensuring that whether processing a single garment or multiple garments, there is enough water to enter subsequent stages for atomization and other treatments through the second channel 12. This avoids interruption of the washing medium supply due to unstable external water supply, thus ensuring the continuity and stability of the clothing processing process. The inlet of the second channel 12 is located at the bottom of the water storage chamber 15, using gravity to assist the flow of the washing medium. The washing medium will gather towards the bottom in the water storage chamber 15 due to gravity. Since the inlet is at the bottom, the washing medium can flow smoothly into the second channel 12 under the drive of gravity, reducing the dependence on additional power and reducing energy consumption. At the same time, it can also ensure that the washing medium enters the second channel 12 at a relatively stable flow rate, thereby affecting subsequent atomization and other treatment processes.

[0064] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the garment processing apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of this application is briefly described below.

[0065] The garment processing device 200 according to an embodiment of this application includes the atomizing device 100 of any of the above embodiments. Since the garment processing device 200 according to this embodiment is equipped with the atomizing device 100 of the above embodiments, the garment processing device 200 according to this application has an atomizing device 100 capable of delivering active gas and washing medium to the garment processing chamber. Because the atomizing device 100 can deliver active gas and washing medium to the garment processing chamber, the garment processing device 200 improves the comprehensiveness of cleaning, making the treated garments cleaner, more hygienic, and odor-free. Since the active gas and washing medium are not pre-mixed in the garment processing chamber, their chemical properties remain stable, ensuring that the effectiveness of the active gas and washing medium is not weakened. This accelerates the removal of stains, bacteria, and odors, reduces the processing cycle, and improves the overall cleaning effect and efficiency of the device.

[0066] A garment processing device 200 according to some embodiments of this application includes a front support 201 disposed inside a garment processing chamber, and the outlet of a first channel 11 and the outlet of a second channel 12 are respectively connected to the front support 201.

[0067] It should be noted that the front support 201 is located at the bottom of the garment inlet. Within the garment processing chamber, the front support 201 also promotes the diffusion of active gases and washing media. Because it is located at the bottom of the inlet, during garment processing, the garments continuously come into contact with the front support 201 as they tumble and agitate, causing the surrounding active gases and washing media to flow. The front support 201 allows the active gases and washing media to diffuse better between garments and between the garments and the inner wall of the processing chamber, further improving the uniformity of diffusion. When the garments tumble, active gases or washing media that were originally concentrated on one side of the garment will diffuse to other parts of the garment due to the blocking and guiding effect of the front support 201, thus ensuring that the entire garment is more evenly affected by the active gases and washing media.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the nozzle 5 may also be disposed on the front support 201.
