Detailed Implementation

[0035] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model, the solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of this utility model and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0036] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0037] Because the existing lint collection devices collect lint, users need to remove the lint by hand when cleaning it, and the lint is quite dirty, which leads to a poor user experience.

[0038] Therefore, referring to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a lint collection device, including a support 100 and a filter shell 200.

[0039] The bracket 100 is detachably mounted on the inner wall of the drum of the garment processing equipment, and the bracket 100 has a water inlet 101 communicating with the drum. The filter screen shell 200 is located on the side of the inner wall of the bracket 100 away from the drum and surrounds the bracket 100 to form a collection cavity. The collection cavity is provided with a lint collection structure 300 for collecting lint. The filter screen shell 200 is provided with filter screen holes 201 communicating with the collection cavity.

[0040] The filter shell 200 can slide back and forth relative to the support 100 along the length of the support 100 to open or close the collection chamber. A cleaning structure 400 is provided inside the collection chamber. When the filter shell 200 slides relative to the support 100 in the direction that opens the collection chamber, the cleaning structure 400 can scrape the lint inside the collection chamber to the outside of the collection chamber.

[0041] In practice, the bracket 100 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the drum. This detachable connection can be achieved using a snap-fit ​​structure 500 or screws. The bracket 100 has a water inlet 101, which can be rectangular or circular. The water inlet 101 communicates with the drum, and the bracket 100 and the filter shell 200 can enclose a collection chamber with a lint collection structure 300. This allows washing water from the drum to enter the collection chamber through the water inlet 101, where lint is collected and stored by the lint collection structure 300. The filtered washing water then flows out through the filter mesh 201 on the filter shell 200, thus completing one lint filtration and collection operation.

[0042] After the lint collection is complete, it is necessary to clean the lint in the collection chamber. At this time, the support 100 can be removed from the inner wall of the drum, and then the filter screen shell 200 can be slid relative to the support 100 along the length of the support 100 to open the collection chamber. The sliding direction is the direction to open the collection chamber. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 6As shown in direction s1, with the relative sliding between the filter shell 200 and the bracket 100, the cleaning structure 400 scrapes the lint in the collection chamber out of the collection chamber, thereby cleaning the lint without requiring the user to remove the lint by hand, thus improving the user experience.

[0043] After cleaning, the filter housing 200 can be slid relative to the support 100 along the length of the support 100 to close the collection chamber. The sliding direction at this time is the direction of closing the collection chamber, i.e., the opposite direction to opening the collection chamber. See reference [link / reference needed] for details. Figure 6 As shown in direction s2. After the collecting chamber is closed, the support 100 and the filter screen housing 200 can be connected by snap-fit ​​or similar means to prevent them from separating before the support 100 is reinstalled in the drum. Alternatively, the support 100 and the filter screen housing 200 can be indirectly connected without snap-fit, by setting a connection structure inside the drum that connects to both the support 100 and the filter screen housing 200, thereby preventing them from separating.

[0044] For example, the cleaning structure 400 can be disposed on either the filter housing 200 or the bracket 100.

[0045] For example, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the cleaning structure 400 is installed on the filter screen housing 200, the lint collection structure 300 can be installed on the support 100. When lint cleaning is required, the filter screen housing 200 can be manually or driven by a motor or other driving component to slide relative to the support 100. Specifically, the filter screen housing 200 can slide while the support 100 remains stationary, or the support 100 can slide while the filter screen housing 200 remains stationary. During the relative movement of the filter screen housing 200 relative to the support 100, the cleaning structure 400 scrapes the lint in the collection chamber out of the collection chamber as the filter screen housing 200 slides. For example, when the filter screen housing 200 slides while the support 100 remains stationary, the filter screen housing 200 slides along the support 100. Figure 6 As shown in the s1 direction, when the collection chamber opens, the cleaning structure 400 also moves synchronously along the same direction. Figure 6 The filter screen 200 slides along the s1 direction as shown, thereby scraping the lint inside the collection chamber out of the collection chamber along the s1 direction. After cleaning, the filter screen 200 can then slide along... Figure 6 Slide the collection chamber in the s2 direction as shown to close it, and then reinstall the bracket 100 inside the drum for the next lint collection and filtration operation.

[0046] When the cleaning structure 400 is mounted on the support 100, the lint collection structure 300 can be mounted on the filter housing 200. When lint cleaning is required, the filter housing 200 can be manually or driven by a motor or other driving component to slide relative to the support 100. For example, the support 100 can slide while the filter housing 200 remains stationary, or the filter housing 200 can slide while the support 100 remains stationary. For instance, when the filter housing 200 is stationary while the support 100 slides, the cleaning structure 400 slides synchronously with the support 100 as the support 100 moves, thereby scraping the lint out of the collection chamber.

[0047] For example, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the filter screen housing 200 can have multiple filter screen holes 201, which are arranged in an array to increase the flow rate of washing water discharged through the filter screen holes 201. Furthermore, the filter screen holes 201 can specifically be circular holes or rectangular holes, etc.

[0048] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the cleaning structure 400 can scrape out the lint in the collection chamber by making the filter screen shell 200 slide horizontally relative to the support 100; it is not necessary to flip the filter screen shell 200 upward relative to the support 100 to form a shape similar to... Figure 7 The state shown indicates that lint removal has been achieved. Figure 7 The structural configuration shown is only to illustrate the internal structure of the lint collection device more clearly.

[0049] The lint collection device of this embodiment includes a support 100 and a filter shell 200. The support 100 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the drum of the garment processing equipment and can be enclosed with the filter shell 200 to form a collection chamber. A lint collection structure 300 is provided in the collection chamber. Therefore, after the washing water in the drum enters the collection chamber through the water inlet 101 on the support 100, the lint in the washing water can be collected by the lint collection structure 300, while the water with the lint filtered out can flow out through the filter holes 201 on the filter shell 200, thus completing the collection of lint. When it is necessary to clean the lint, the entire lint collection device can be removed from the drum, and then the filter shell 200 can be slid relative to the support 100 in the direction of opening the collection chamber. The cleaning structure 400 scrapes out the lint in the collection chamber as the filter shell 200 slides relative to it, thus cleaning the lint without the user having to remove the lint by hand, thereby improving the user experience. After the lint is removed, the filter shell 200 can be slid relative to the support 100 in the direction of closing the collection chamber to close the collection chamber. Then, the entire lint collection device can be installed in the drum for the next lint collection operation.

[0050] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning structure 400 is disposed on the side of the filter housing 200 near the collection chamber, and the lint collection structure 300 is disposed on the side of the support 100 near the collection chamber. Along the lint scraping direction, the cleaning structure 400 is disposed on the upstream side of the filter housing 200.

[0051] In practice, the cleaning structure 400 can be set on the filter shell 200, while the lint collection structure 300 is set on the bracket 100. The filter shell 200 can be driven to slide manually or by a motor or other driving component, while keeping the bracket 100 stationary. As the filter shell 200 moves, the cleaning structure 400 slides synchronously with the filter shell 200, thereby scraping the lint in the collection chamber out of the collection chamber.

[0052] Along the direction in which the lint is scraped out, refer to Figure 6 As shown in direction s1, the cleaning structure 400 is positioned upstream of the filter housing 200, resulting in a larger scraping stroke of the cleaning structure 400 against the lint in the collection chamber, so as to scrape out as much lint as possible. For example, when it is necessary to maximize the scraping stroke of the cleaning structure 400 against the lint in the collection chamber, the cleaning structure 400 can be positioned on the upstream side of the filter housing 200.

[0053] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning structure 400 includes a cleaning blade 401, one end of which is connected to one of the support 100 and the filter housing 200, the cleaning blade 401 extends toward the other of the support 100 and the filter housing 200, and the other end of the cleaning blade 401 contacts the other of the support 100 and the filter housing 200.

[0054] For example, when the cleaning scraper 401 is installed on the filter screen housing 200, one end of the cleaning scraper 401 is connected to the side of the filter screen housing 200 facing the support 100, and the cleaning scraper 401 extends towards the support so that the other end of the cleaning scraper 401 contacts the side of the support 100 facing the filter screen housing 200. This allows the cleaning scraper 401 to fully scrape out the lint during the scraping process, avoiding the situation where there is a gap between the cleaning scraper 401 and the inner wall of the support 100, which would prevent the lint from being fully removed.

[0055] Of course, in other implementations, the cleaning scraper 401 can also be mounted on the bracket 100.

[0056] For example, when the cleaning scraper 401 is disposed on the filter housing 200, the cleaning scraper 401 can be integrally formed with the filter housing 200 to save manufacturing steps and improve the overall structural strength of the filter housing 200. Alternatively, the cleaning scraper 401 and the filter housing 200 can be separately manufactured and then snapped or glued together.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the lint collection structure 300 includes at least one set of lint collection rib structures 301, each set of lint collection rib structures 301 including a plurality of ribs along the width direction of the support 100 (see reference). Figure 6 The lint collecting ribs 302 are spaced apart in the y-direction shown. The cleaning scraper 401 includes a plurality of scraping teeth 402, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the support 100, and at least one scraping tooth 402 can pass through between two adjacent lint collecting ribs 302.

[0058] In practice, different scraping teeth 402 can pass through the gap between two different or the same lint collecting ribs 302 to scrape out the lint accumulated between two adjacent lint collecting ribs 302.

[0059] For example, a scraper tooth 402 can pass through between two adjacent lint collecting ribs 302. In this case, the gap between the two adjacent lint collecting ribs 302 is set to be small, or two scraper teeth 402 can pass through. In this case, the gap between the two adjacent lint collecting ribs 302 is set to be large. The specific gap between the two adjacent lint collecting ribs 302 can be set according to the manufacturing cost, lint collecting effect, etc.

[0060] For example, the lint collecting rib structure 301 can be configured as a group or as follows: Figure 1 The two groups shown can be used, or more than two groups can be set. When two or more groups are set, all the lint collecting rib structures 301 are spaced apart along the length of the support 100, and the lint collecting ribs 302 of each group of lint collecting rib structures 301 are set one-to-one to ensure that the scraping teeth 402 can smoothly pass through the gaps between the lint collecting ribs 302 of different groups of lint collecting rib structures 301.

[0061] In addition, in other implementations, the lint collection structure 300 can also be multiple rotating wheels arranged in the collection chamber to block the lint between different rotating wheels and achieve the collection and storage of lint.

[0062] For example, the lint collecting rib 302 can be integrally formed with the bracket 100 to save manufacturing steps and improve the structural strength of the entire bracket 100, or the two can be formed separately and then bonded together.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a positioning structure 600 is provided on the support 100, and the positioning structure 600 and the lint collection structure 300 are spaced apart along the length direction of the support 100; the positioning structure 600 includes a plurality of positioning elements 601, the plurality of positioning elements 601 are spaced apart along the width direction of the support 100 and a scraping tooth 402 is accommodated between two adjacent positioning elements 601.

[0064] In other words, by accommodating a scraper tooth 402 between the two positioning members 601, the positioning function of the scraper tooth 402 can be achieved, so as to realize the reliable assembly and positioning of the scraper tooth 402.

[0065] For example, along the direction of lint scraping, the positioning structure 600 can be set on the upstream side of the lint collection structure 300 or on the downstream side of the lint collection structure 300, both of which can play a role in positioning the scraping teeth 402.

[0066] In some embodiments, the positioning member 601 includes positioning ribs, and the scraping teeth 402 can be accommodated in two adjacent positioning ribs to achieve positioning of the scraping teeth 402. In addition, the dimension of the positioning member 601 in the length direction of the bracket 100 is larger than the length of the lint collecting rib 302, so that the gap between two adjacent positioning members 601 is larger in the length direction of the bracket 100, thereby also guiding the sliding of the scraping teeth 402.

[0067] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a first sliding part 102 is provided on both side walls of the support 100, and a second sliding part 202 is provided on both side walls of the filter shell 200. The filter shell 200 slides relative to the support 100 through the sliding cooperation of the first sliding part 102 and the second sliding part 202, thereby realizing the relative sliding between the two.

[0068] Specifically, one of the first sliding part 102 and the second sliding part 202 is a groove, and the other of the first sliding part 102 and the second sliding part 202 is a sliding protrusion that slides along the groove, so as to realize the relative sliding of the two.

[0069] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 As shown, sliding grooves can be provided on both side walls of the support 100, and sliding protrusions can be provided on the outer wall of the filter shell 200. The sliding protrusions slide within the sliding grooves to set the relative sliding between the two. Alternatively, sliding protrusions can be provided on both side walls of the support 100, and sliding grooves can be provided on the outer wall of the filter shell 200.

[0070] Reference Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, at least one locking structure 700 is provided between the support 100 and the filter housing 200. The locking structure 700 can restrict the filter housing 200 from sliding relative to the support 100 when the collection chamber is in an open or closed state, so that the collection chamber is reliably in its current position.

[0071] For example, when the filter screen housing 200 slides relative to the support 100 to close the collection chamber, the locking structure 700 can lock the filter screen housing 200 to prevent it from sliding in the direction of opening the collection chamber and affecting the lint collection operation of the lint collection device. When the filter screen housing 200 slides relative to the support 100 to open the collection chamber, the locking structure 700 can lock the filter screen housing 200 to prevent the two from separating.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first sliding portion 102 is a groove, and the second sliding portion 202 is a sliding protrusion that can slide along the groove. The sliding protrusion includes at least two, and the at least two sliding protrusions are spaced apart along the length direction of the bracket 100.

[0073] The locking structure 700 includes a locking protrusion disposed in the slide groove and capable of engaging with a corresponding sliding protrusion when the filter housing 200 slides relative to the support 100 to close or open the collection chamber. Thus, when the collection chamber is in the open or closed state, the engagement between the locking protrusion and the sliding protrusion restricts the sliding of the filter housing 200 relative to the support 100.

[0074] When the filter housing 200 needs to slide relative to the support 100, the locking protrusion can undergo plastic deformation under external force, allowing the sliding protrusion to pass over the locking protrusion and slide smoothly within the groove. Alternatively, in other implementations, the locking structure 700 can also be an elastic protrusion that can contract under external force. This external force can be, for example, a force applied to the elastic protrusion by the user pressing the filter housing 200, causing the elastic protrusion to contract and release its abutment against the sliding protrusion. In this case, the sliding protrusion can then pass over the elastic protrusion and slide smoothly within the groove.

[0075] For example, two sliding protrusions can be provided in the groove on one side of the support 100, and two locking protrusions can be provided in the groove. When the collection chamber is closed, the two sliding protrusions and the two locking protrusions abut against each other to ensure a reliable connection between the support 100 and the filter screen housing 200. When the collection chamber is open, the sliding protrusion on the downstream side along the direction of lint scraping can abut against the locking protrusion on the downstream side to prevent the filter screen housing 200 from separating from the support 100.

[0076] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the sidewalls of the filter housing 200 and / or the support 100 are provided with anti-slip structures 203, so that slippage will not occur when the user slides the filter housing 200 or the support 100.

[0077] Specifically, the anti-slip structure 203 extends along the sliding direction of the filter shell 200 or the bracket 100, that is, the anti-slip structure 203 has a certain size along the sliding direction of the filter shell 200 or the bracket 100, so as to leave room for hand displacement and ensure the anti-slip effect.

[0078] In practice, the anti-slip structure 203 includes multiple regularly or irregularly distributed protrusions and / or grooves to form a textured structure on the side wall of the filter shell 200 or the support 100, thereby increasing the friction between the user's hand and the filter shell 200 or the support 100 to prevent slippage.

[0079] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the anti-slip structure 203 is disposed on the side wall of the filter shell 200. The anti-slip structure 203 consists of multiple rib structures extending along the thickness direction of the filter shell 200. These multiple rib structures are arranged sequentially along the sliding direction of the filter shell 200 to increase the friction between the hand and the filter shell 200 along the sliding direction of the filter shell 200. Of course, the anti-slip structure 203 can also be disposed on the bracket 100, depending on the specific requirements.

[0080] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket 100 is provided with a first engaging part 104, and the filter shell 200 is provided with a second engaging part 204. When the collection chamber is in the closed state, the filter shell 200 can be engaged with the bracket 100 by the cooperation of the first engaging part 104 and the second engaging part 204 to ensure the reliability of the connection between the two.

[0081] In some embodiments, along the direction of lint scraping, the second engaging portion 204 is provided at the upstream end of the filter screen housing 200, so as to make reasonable use of the space at the upstream end of the filter screen housing 200 to arrange the second engaging portion 204 to achieve the engaging operation with the first engaging portion 104.

[0082] Specifically, one of the first engaging portion 104 and the second engaging portion 204 is a buckle, and the other of the first engaging portion 104 and the second engaging portion 204 is a snap hole that engages with the buckle, so as to achieve a quick connection between the two by snapping the buckle into the snap hole.

[0083] For example, a buckle can be provided on the bracket 100 and a locking hole can be provided on the filter housing 200. Alternatively, a locking hole can be provided on the bracket 100 and a buckle can be provided on the filter housing 200.

[0084] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the bracket 100 facing the filter housing 200 has an operating cavity 103 with an opening facing the filter housing 200, and a first engaging portion 104 is disposed on the cavity wall of the operating cavity 103.

[0085] In other words, by providing an operating cavity 103 on the support 100, it is convenient for the user to place their fingers inside the operating cavity 103 to remove the support 100 from the roller. At the same time, by providing a first engaging part 104 on the cavity wall of the operating cavity 103, it is also convenient for the user to place their fingers inside the operating cavity 103 to release the engagement of the first engaging part 104 and the second engaging part 204, thereby improving the utilization rate of the operating cavity 103.

[0086] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a supporting structure 800 is provided between the support 100 and the filter shell 200 to avoid the situation where the support 100 and the filter shell 200 partially adhere to each other, which would prevent the collection cavity from being formed or compress the internal space of the collection cavity.

[0087] In a specific implementation, the abutting structure 800 includes a first abutting rib 801 disposed on the support 100 and a second abutting rib 802 disposed on the filter screen shell 200. When the collection chamber is in a closed state, the first abutting rib 801 and the second abutting rib 802 abut against each other in the direction from the support 100 to the filter screen shell 200 to ensure that the support 100 and the filter screen shell 200 can be enclosed to form a collection chamber.

[0088] For example, the first abutting rib 801 can be integrally formed with the bracket 100 to save manufacturing steps and improve the overall structural strength. The second abutting rib 802 can be integrally formed with the filter shell 200 to save manufacturing steps and improve the overall structural strength.

[0089] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a reinforcing structure 900 is provided on the filter housing 200. Since the filter housing 200 is provided with filter holes 201, in order to improve the structural strength of the filter holes 201, a reinforcing structure 900 can be provided on the side of the filter holes 201 facing the support 100. The reinforcing structure 900 can specifically be a reinforcing rib or a reinforcing protrusion.

[0090] For example, the reinforcing structure 900 may be configured to have at least two to further enhance the structural strength of the filter housing 200.

[0091] In addition, the reinforcing structure 900 can be integrally formed with the filter shell 200 to save manufacturing steps and improve the overall structural strength.

[0092] In addition, the reinforcing structure 900 can be set on the side of the filter housing 200 facing the support 100 to ensure aesthetic appearance while making full use of the internal space of the collection chamber, or the reinforcing structure 900 can be set on the side of the filter housing 200 away from the support 100.

[0093] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment also provides a garment processing device, including a roller and at least one of the above-mentioned lint collecting devices.

[0094] The specific structure and implementation principle of the lint collection device in this embodiment are the same as those of the lint collection device described above, and can bring the same or similar technical effects. They will not be described in detail here, but can be referred to the above description.

[0095] For example, the clothing processing device in this embodiment can be a top-loading washing machine or a washer-dryer combo.

[0096] In addition, the garment processing equipment can be equipped with one lint collection device, or two or more lint collection devices, to improve the lint collection effect. When multiple lint collection devices are installed, they can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the drum.
