[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The washing assembly and washer-dryer combo provided by this utility model include an outer drum, an inner drum, and a steam supply assembly. The steam supply assembly has its outlet located inside the outer drum and at the bottom of the inner drum, facing towards the inner drum. The steam supply assembly is used to deliver a high-speed steam flow into the outer drum. Since the outlet of the steam supply assembly is located at the bottom of the inner drum and facing towards the inner drum, when the washing assembly is washing, the high-speed steam flow will enter the outer drum through the outlet. Because there is washing water in the outer drum, the high-speed steam flow will generate bubbles when it enters the washing water. The bubbles explode in the washing water, increasing the friction between water molecules, which can deeply clean the clothes and improve the washing effect. The high-speed steam flow enters the inner drum from the bottom, forming many high-speed bubbles. The clothes are naturally vibrated by the bursting bubbles, increasing the turbulence in the inner drum. The bubbles rise and naturally exert an upward buoyancy, causing the liquid to gush out, which can untangle tangled clothes or prevent them from tangling easily. In addition, by rotating the inner drum counterclockwise and clockwise alternately during washing, the problem of clothes getting tangled due to prolonged washing in one direction can be avoided.

[0051] This utility model provides a washing component and washer-dryer combo that prevents clothes from getting tangled and improves user experience.

[0052] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 The technical solution provided by this utility model will be described in more detail.

[0053] In existing technologies, the pain points in the washing and drying processes of washing machines typically include the following:

[0054] 1. During the washing process, the clothes will get tangled together as the inner drum rotates, preventing the middle part from being completely washed and even causing damage to the clothes.

[0055] 2: During the drying process, clothes may become tangled and knotted, resulting in uneven drying or even undried clothes.

[0056] This utility model provides a washing assembly, including:

[0057] outer cylinder 100;

[0058] The inner cylinder 110 is rotatably disposed within the outer cylinder 100;

[0059] A steam supply assembly, wherein the steam outlet of the steam supply assembly is disposed inside the outer cylinder 100 and the steam outlet is located at the bottom of the inner cylinder 110 and is disposed toward the inner cylinder 110.

[0060] The washing assembly provided by this utility model includes an outer drum 100, an inner drum 110, and a steam supply assembly. The steam supply assembly has an outlet located inside the outer drum 100, and the outlet is situated at the bottom of the inner drum 110, facing towards the inner drum 110. The steam supply assembly is used to deliver a high-speed steam flow into the outer drum 100. Because the outlet of the steam supply assembly is located at the bottom of the inner drum 110 and faces towards the inner drum 110, when the washing assembly is washing, the high-speed steam flow will pass through the outlet. The steam enters the outer drum 100. Since the outer drum 100 contains washing water, the high-speed steam flow generates bubbles when it enters the washing water. These bubbles explode in the washing water, increasing friction between water molecules, which allows for deep cleaning of clothes and improves washing effectiveness. The high-speed steam flow enters the inner drum 110 from the bottom, forming numerous high-speed bubbles. The clothes are naturally vibrated by these exploding bubbles, increasing the turbulence within the inner drum 110. The rising bubbles naturally exert an upward buoyancy, causing the liquid to gush out, which can untangle tangled clothes or prevent them from tangling. During washing, the inner drum 110 rotates alternately clockwise and counterclockwise, preventing clothes from tangling due to prolonged washing in one direction.

[0061] When the washing unit is drying clothes, the steam supply unit generates high-temperature water vapor that enters the inner drum 110 from the bottom and heats the damp clothes inside the inner drum 110. The high-temperature water vapor can exert an upward force on the clothes during drying, which can prevent the clothes from piling up and tangling during the drying process. The high-temperature high-speed airflow ejected from the bottom can form an anti-tangling flow between loose clothes and prevent knotting.

[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, the steam supply assembly includes a steam generator 120, a steam delivery pipe 130, and a jet seat 140. The jet seat 140 is provided with an exhaust chamber 150, which is connected to the steam generator 120 through the steam delivery pipe 130. The exhaust port is a plurality of jet nozzles 160 disposed on the jet seat 140 and connected to the exhaust chamber 150.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, the steam supply device includes a steam generator 120, a steam delivery pipe 130, and a jet seat 140. The jet seat 140 is provided with a plurality of jet nozzles 160, which are arranged toward the inner cylinder 110. An exhaust chamber 150 is provided inside the jet seat 140. The exhaust chamber 150 is connected to the steam generator 120 through the steam delivery pipe 130. The steam generator 120 is used to generate high-temperature steam and deliver the high-temperature steam to the jet seat 140, and spray it out into the outer cylinder 100 through the jet nozzles 160.

[0064] It should be noted that the jet seat 140 is arranged along the depth direction of the inner cylinder 110 so that the jet nozzles 160 are arranged sequentially along the depth direction of the inner cylinder 110. This allows high-temperature steam to be delivered into the inner cylinder 110 in all directions when the inner cylinder 110 rotates, enabling the clothes inside the inner cylinder 110 to be stirred and cleaned in all directions, thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0065] In some embodiments of this utility model, an air guide baffle 170 is provided on the jet seat 140, and the air guide baffle 170 surrounds the jet seat 140.

[0066] In some of the embodiments of this utility model described above, by providing air guide baffles 170 around the jet seat 140, the air guide baffles 170 can ensure that when the inner cylinder 110 rotates, the water flow can form turbulence under the obstruction of the air guide baffles 170; and the air guide baffles 170 can block the water flow to ensure that the steam flow ejected from the jet nozzle 160 can be blown out towards the inner cylinder 110 more quickly, so as to improve the anti-tangling effect of clothing.

[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, the jet seat 140 has an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped jet seat 140 can better fit the shape of the inner cylinder 110, ensuring that the jet nozzle 160 on the jet seat 140 faces the radial direction of the inner cylinder 110, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0068] It should be noted that the diameter of the jet seat 140 can be selected between the diameter of the inner cylinder 110 and the diameter of the outer cylinder 100. Preferably, the outer diameter of the jet seat 140 and the inner diameter of the outer cylinder 100 are the same, thereby ensuring that the jet seat 140 can be fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 100 and improving the connection effect.

[0069] In some embodiments of this utility model, an exhaust pipe 180, an exhaust pump 190, and an intake pipe 200 are also included. The inlet of the intake pipe 200 is connected to the outer cylinder 100, the inlet of the exhaust pump 190 is connected to the outlet of the intake pipe 200, and the outlet of the exhaust pump 190 is connected to the exhaust pipe 180.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, the washing assembly further includes an exhaust pipe 180, an exhaust pump 190, and an air intake pipe 200. The air intake pipe 200 is connected to the outer drum 100, and the inlet of the air intake pipe 200 is connected to the inside of the outer drum 100, thereby venting the gas inside the outer drum 100 through the exhaust pump 190. When the washing assembly is drying clothes, the steam supply assembly delivers high-temperature steam to the inner drum 110. When the clothes are heated to a certain temperature, the steam supply is stopped, and the air intake pump quickly exhausts the steam to remove the internal water vapor. The alternating use of the air intake pump and the steam generator 120 can accelerate the evaporation of moisture. The steam supply is gradually reduced each time until the clothes are dry. Clothes dried by natural air at a lower temperature are dried by using high-temperature steam to remove the internal moisture, which significantly improves efficiency. After a certain amount of hot steam is injected, the inside of the clothes is heated evenly, and the drying effect is obvious.

[0071] It is understandable that the suction pipe 200 is positioned above the inner cylinder 110, which makes it easier to remove the gas inside the outer cylinder 100 through the suction pipe 200 and the exhaust pump 190.

[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, the inner wall of the inner cylinder 110 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 210. By providing reinforcing ribs 210 on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 110, the strength of the inner cylinder 110 can be enhanced, and the mixing of clothes inside the inner cylinder 110 can be increased, preventing the clothes from being stacked when rotating, accelerating the separation of clothes, thereby improving the effect of high-temperature steam causing liquid to gush out, making the clothes untangled or less prone to tangling.

[0073] It is understood that the reinforcing rib 210 is preferably an arc-shaped protrusion structure.

[0074] It should be noted that a portion of the inner wall of the inner cylinder 110 does not have the reinforcing ribs 210, so that the gas can better agitate the water flow inside the inner cylinder 110 in this portion. Preferably, the diameter of the through holes on the inner wall of the cylinder 110 in this portion is larger than the diameter of the holes in other areas, so that the gas can enter the interior of the inner cylinder 110 and flow within the inner cylinder 110.

[0075] In some embodiments of this utility model, a rotation drive assembly is also included. The rotation drive assembly is connected to the inner cylinder 110 for driving the inner cylinder 110 to rotate within the outer cylinder 100.

[0076] In some embodiments of this invention described above, the inner drum 110 is driven to rotate by a rotation drive assembly, thereby achieving the washing of clothes. The rotation drive assembly adopts a structure found in the prior art, such as a motor belt drive structure.

[0077] This utility model also provides a washer-dryer combo, including the washing components described above.

[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, it also includes an integrated machine body 220 and a swing drive assembly, wherein the washing assembly is disposed within the integrated machine body 220;

[0079] The outer walls of the outer cylinder 100 are rotatably disposed within the integrated machine body 220 via a rotating shaft 230.

The swing drive assembly is used to drive the outer cylinder 100 to swing around the axis of the rotating shaft 230 within the integrated machine body 220.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, the washer-dryer combo includes a main body 220, a washing component, and a swing drive component. The swing drive component is disposed between the outer drum 100 and the main body 220. The swing drive component is used to drive the outer drum 100 to swing around the axis of rotation 230 within the main body 220. When the inner drum 110 rotates, the outer drum 100 can swing around the axis of rotation 230, thereby enabling the clothes inside the inner drum 110 to move back and forth, resulting in a larger range of clothing movement and avoiding the problem of fiber entanglement caused by long-term circular motion.

[0081] In some embodiments of this utility model, the swing drive assembly includes a swing drive motor 260, a swing drive worm 250, and a swing drive worm wheel 240. The swing drive worm wheel 240 is disposed on the rotating shaft 230. The swing drive worm 250 cooperates with the swing drive worm 250, and the swing drive motor 260 is connected to the swing drive worm 250 in a transmission connection.

[0082] In some of the embodiments of the present invention described above, the swing drive assembly includes a swing drive motor 260, a swing drive worm 250, and a swing drive worm wheel 240. The swing drive worm 250 is driven by the swing drive worm wheel 240, which can have a large transmission ratio and reliable rotation, ensuring that the outer cylinder 100 and the inner cylinder 110 swing back and forth more stably.

[0083] In some embodiments of this utility model, the swing angle of the outer cylinder 100 is ±5°.
