Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of clothes cleaning, and in particular to a water storage box and clothes processing equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] The water storage box is a common functional component in the clothes processing equipment and is used to store condensed water. The water storage box has a water storage cavity and an overflow opening in communication with the water storage cavity, and the overflow opening is formed on a top shell of the water storage box. In a state of storing condensed water, the condensed water can enter the water storage cavity through the overflow opening. When the condensed water in the water storage box is poured out, the water storage box is pulled out of the clothes processing equipment, and then the water storage box is turned over so that the top shell faces the direction of gravity. However, part of the condensed water remains in the water storage box after the condensed water is poured out.

[0003] In the related art, an outlet opening is further formed on the top shell of the water storage box. When the condensed water in the water storage box is poured out, the water storage box is turned over so that the top shell faces the direction of gravity, and both the overflow opening and the outlet opening face the direction of gravity. After most of the condensed water flows out through the overflow opening and the outlet opening, the water storage box is turned over again so that the outlet opening is located at the lowest position, so that the remaining condensed water is collected at the outlet opening and flows out through the outlet opening. However, since both the overflow opening and the outlet opening face the direction of gravity, the user cannot directly observe the positions of the overflow opening and the outlet opening, so it is inconvenient for the user to determine whether the outlet opening is at the lowest position. The user needs to repeatedly adjust the angle of the water storage box and observe whether the condensed water flows out through the outlet opening while adjusting the angle of the water storage box, so as to determine whether the outlet opening is at the lowest position, which is inconvenient for the user to operate.

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0033] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

Thus, a feature defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0035] The description of "one embodiment", "some embodiments" or "an embodiment" in the present application means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment are included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in other some embodiments", "in further some embodiments" and the like appearing in the present description are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized. In addition, in one or more embodiments, specific features, structures or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner.

[0036] The water storage box is a common functional component in the clothes treatment equipment, and is used for storing condensed water. The water storage box has a water storage cavity and a water overflow port in communication with the water storage cavity, and the water overflow port is formed on the top shell of the water storage box. In the state of storing condensed water, the condensed water can enter the water storage cavity through the water overflow port. When pouring the condensed water in the water storage box, the water storage box is pulled out of the clothes treatment equipment, and then the water storage box is turned over so that the top shell faces the direction of gravity, but there is still some condensed water remaining in the water storage box after pouring the condensed water.

[0037] In the related art, an outlet is additionally formed on the top shell of the water storage box. When pouring the condensed water in the water storage box, the water storage box is turned over so that the top shell faces the direction of gravity, and both the water overflow port and the outlet face the direction of gravity. After most of the condensed water flows out through the water overflow port and the outlet, the water storage box is turned over again so that the outlet is located at the lowest position, so that the remaining condensed water is collected at the outlet and flows out through the outlet. However, since both the water overflow port and the outlet face the direction of gravity, the user cannot intuitively observe the positions of the water overflow port and the outlet, so it is not convenient for the user to judge whether the outlet is at the lowest position. The user needs to repeatedly adjust the angle of the water storage box and observe whether the condensed water flows out through the outlet while adjusting the angle of the water storage box, so as to judge whether the outlet is at the lowest position, which is not convenient for the user to operate.

[0038] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a water storage box and a clothes treatment equipment, which aim to solve the technical problem of inconvenient user operation when pouring the condensed water in the water storage box.

[0039] In order to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, the specific embodiments and drawings will be described below.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the embodiment of the present application provides a water storage box, which comprises a shell 1 and a sealing element 2.

[0041] The shell 1 has a water storage cavity 11, a water overflow port 12 communicating with the water storage cavity 11, and a water outlet port 13 communicating with the water storage cavity 11. The shell 1 comprises a top shell 14 and a bottom shell 15 oppositely arranged along a first direction (X direction in the figure), and a side shell 16 connected with the top shell 14 and the bottom shell 15 respectively, and the top shell 14, the bottom shell 15 and the side shell 16 enclose the water storage cavity 11. The water overflow port 12 is arranged on the top shell 14, and the water outlet port 13 is arranged on the side shell 16. When the first direction is perpendicular to the direction of gravity, the water outlet port 13 is located at the lowest position of the side shell 16. The sealing element 2 is detachably arranged at the water outlet port 13 and used for plugging the water outlet port 13.

[0042] It should be noted that when the water storage box is applied in a laundry treatment device, the sealing element 2 plugs the water outlet port 13, the water storage box is arranged in the laundry treatment device, and the state of the water storage box is as shown in Figure 1 , the first direction (X direction in the figure) is parallel to the direction of gravity, and the top shell 14 is located on the side of the bottom shell 15 away from the direction of gravity. The water overflow port 12 on the top shell 14 communicates with a water pump in the laundry treatment device, so that the condensed water in the laundry treatment device is transferred to the water storage cavity 11 in the water storage box by the water pump.

[0043] When it is needed to pour out the condensed water in the water storage box, the user holds the water storage box and turns it over. The first direction (X direction in the figure) changes with the turning of the water storage box, until the first direction is perpendicular to the direction of gravity (as shown in the state of Figure 4 ), and then the sealing element 2 is removed from the water outlet port 13, so that most of the condensed water in the water storage box flows out through the water overflow port 12, and a small part of the condensed water remains and flows out through the water outlet port 13. Since the water outlet port 13 is located at the lowest position of the side shell 16 when the water storage box is turned to the state that the first direction is perpendicular to the direction of gravity, as much condensed water as possible in the water storage box can be discharged. After the water storage box is turned over, the user can directly observe the water overflow port 12, and judge whether the first direction is perpendicular to the direction of gravity according to the orientation of the water overflow port 12, so as to facilitate the user operation.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the side shell 16 comprises a first side shell 161 and a second side shell 162 oppositely arranged along a second direction (Y direction in the figure). The first side shell 161 is connected with a holding structure 3, the water outlet port 13 is arranged on the second side shell 162, and when the first direction (X direction in the figure) is perpendicular to the direction of gravity, the second side shell 162 faces the direction of gravity.

[0045] In the above embodiment, when it is needed to pour the condensed water in the water storage box, the user holds the holding structure 3 on the water storage box, and then rotates the water storage box to the vertical state, so that the first direction (X direction in the figure) is perpendicular to the direction of gravity and the second side shell 162 faces the direction of gravity, so that most of the condensed water in the water storage box flows out of the water storage box through the overflow port 12, and the remaining small part of the condensed water flows out of the water storage cavity 11 through the water outlet 13, without the need for multiple adjustments of the inclination angle of the water storage box, facilitating the user operation.

[0046] In the above embodiment, after the user holds the holding structure 3 on the water storage box and rotates the water storage box to the vertical state, the direction of gravity of the water storage box itself and the direction of gravity of the condensed water in the water storage cavity 11 are both parallel to the direction of the force exerted by the user's palm on the water storage box, so that the force exerted by the gravity of the water storage box itself and the condensed water in the water storage cavity 11 on the water storage box does not drive the water storage box to rotate, so that the angle of the water storage box is not easily changed, and therefore the user does not need to exert additional force on the water storage box to keep the water outlet 13 at the lowest position, facilitating the user operation.

[0047] It should be noted that when the water storage box is applied in a laundry treatment device, the first direction (X direction in the figure) is parallel to the direction of gravity, and the second direction (Y direction in the figure) is perpendicular to the direction of gravity, and the laundry treatment device is provided with a receiving cavity, and the water storage box is inserted into the receiving cavity along the second direction. Since in the above embodiment, the side shell 16 includes the first side shell 161 and the second side shell 162 which are oppositely arranged in the second direction, the holding structure 3 is connected to the first side shell 161, the water outlet 13 is arranged on the second side shell 162, and the sealing element 2 is arranged at the water outlet 13; therefore, when the water storage box is inserted into or extracted from the laundry treatment device, the sealing element 2 does not contact the side walls of the receiving cavity located on both sides of the movement direction of the water storage box, so that there is no need to reserve a space for avoiding the position in the receiving cavity, so that the outer shape of the water storage box can be adapted to the receiving cavity to make full use of the space in the receiving cavity and increase the space of the water storage cavity 11 as much as possible.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second side shell 162 includes a first end 1621 and a second end 1622, the first end 1621 encloses the water outlet 13, the second end 1622 is connected to the top shell 14 and the bottom shell 15 respectively, and the first end 1621 is located on the side away from the first side shell 161 of the second end 1622.

[0049] By adopting the above technical solution, the second side shell 162 is inclined, and the distance between the second side shell 162 and the central axis of the outlet 13 gradually decreases along the Y direction in the figure. This helps the condensate to flow along the second side shell 162 and to the outlet 13, which can reduce the amount of condensate remaining on the second side shell 162. Therefore, it is convenient for as much condensate in the water storage cavity 11 as possible to flow to the outlet 13, so that as much condensate in the water storage cavity 11 as possible can be discharged through the outlet 13.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second side shell 162 includes a plurality of inclined flat plates, which are connected in sequence and enclose a pyramidal cavity, and the outlet 13 formed by the plurality of flat plates is located at the apex of the pyramid.

[0051] In some embodiments, the second side shell 162 is an arc-shaped plate, the second side shell 162 surrounds and forms a conical cavity, and the water outlet 13 formed by the first end 1621 of the second side shell 162 is located at the apex of the cone.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the water storage cavity 11 includes a first chamber 111 and a second chamber 112 that are sequentially connected in a second direction (Y direction in the figure). The cross-sectional area of ​​the first chamber 111 in the second direction is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second chamber 112 in the second direction. The water outlet 13 is connected to the second chamber 112.

[0053] It should be noted that, for ease of distinction between the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, Figure 3 A dashed line is added to separate the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112. The dashed line is not used as a structural line in the water storage box.

[0054] In the above embodiment, after the user holds the water storage box and rotates the water storage box to a vertical position using the grip structure 3 on the water storage box ( Figure 4 (As shown in the diagram), the condensate in the water storage chamber 11 can flow from the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 112. Since the cross-sectional area of ​​the first chamber 111 in the vertical second direction is larger than that of the second chamber 112 in the vertical second direction, and the outlet 13 is connected to the second chamber 112, it is convenient for the condensate in the water storage chamber 11 to flow from the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 112, and then to the outlet 13, so as to reduce the condensate remaining in the first chamber 111. This facilitates as much condensate in the water storage chamber 11 as possible to flow to the outlet 13, so that as much condensate in the water storage chamber 11 as possible can be discharged through the outlet 13.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 3In some embodiments, the water storage cavity 11 further comprises a transition chamber 113 which is in communication with the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, and the cross-sectional area of the transition chamber 113 in the vertical second direction gradually decreases from the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 112.

[0056] By adopting the above technical solution, the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 can smoothly transition, which is more conducive to the condensate water flowing from the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 112, so that as much condensate water as possible in the first chamber 111 can flow into the second chamber 112.

[0057] It should be noted that, in order to distinguish the first chamber 111, the second chamber 112 and the transition chamber 113, Figure 3 a dashed line is added in the middle of the first chamber 111, the transition chamber 113 and the second chamber 112 to separate them, and the dashed line is not a structure line in the water storage box.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 3 In the above embodiment, the distance between at least one side wall of the transition chamber 113 and the central axis of the water outlet 13 gradually decreases from the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 112, so that the above-mentioned side wall is inclined to be arranged, so as to facilitate the condensate water flowing along the above-mentioned inclined side wall, thereby facilitating the condensate water flowing from the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 112, so that as much condensate water as possible in the first chamber 111 can flow into the second chamber 112.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the top cover 14 comprises a first part 141, a second part 142 and a third part 143 which are connected in sequence in the second direction, the end of the first part 141 away from the second part 142 is connected with the first side cover 161, the end of the third part 143 away from the second part 142 is connected with the second side cover 162, and the first part 141, the bottom cover 15 and the side cover 16 enclose to form the first chamber 111, the second part 142, the bottom cover 15 and the side cover 16 enclose to form the transition chamber 113, and the third part 143, the bottom cover 15 and the side cover 16 enclose to form the second chamber 112; the height of the first part 141 in the first direction is higher than the height of the third part 143 in the first direction, and the height of the second part 142 in the first direction gradually decreases from the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 112.

[0060] By adopting the above technical solution, the second part 142 is inclined to be arranged, which not only makes the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 smoothly transition, but also is more conducive to the condensate water flowing from the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 112 along the second part 142; and the second part 142 can avoid other components in the laundry treatment apparatus.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the overflow outlet 12 is located at the end of the top shell 14 near the second side shell 162.

[0062] By adopting the above technical solution, the grip structure 3 on the user's grip on the water storage box rotates the water storage box to a vertical position. Figure 4 After the state shown, the overflow port 12 is located at the end of the top shell 14 facing the direction of gravity, so that more condensate in the water storage box can flow out from the overflow port 12, which can speed up the pouring efficiency of condensate.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the gripping structure 3 includes an end plate 31 and a side plate 32 connected to the end plate 31. The side plate 32 is connected to the side shell 16. The end plate 31 and the side plate 32 enclose a clearance cavity 33. The clearance cavity 33 is isolated from the water storage cavity 11. The end plate 31 is provided with a clearance through hole 311 communicating with the clearance cavity 33. The end plate 31 is also connected with a cover plate 34 for covering the clearance through hole 311. The cover plate 34 is rotatably elastically connected to the end plate 31.

[0064] In the above embodiment, when the user holds the grip structure 3 on the water storage box, the user's fingers can pass through the clearance hole 311 and be accommodated in the clearance cavity 33. Furthermore, the user can grip the end plate 31 after bending their fingers, allowing the user to easily and effortlessly hold the grip structure 3 on the water storage box. After rotating the water storage box to a vertical position, the fingers are located on the side of the end plate 31 facing the direction of gravity, allowing the fingers to support the end plate 31, thus enabling the user to easily and effortlessly maintain the angle of the water storage box.

[0065] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the cover plate 34 covers the clearance through hole 311, which can improve the aesthetics of the water storage box. The cover plate 34 is rotatably elastically connected to the end plate 31. When the user holds the grip structure 3 on the water storage box, the user's fingers abut against the cover plate 34, causing the cover plate 34 to rotate relative to the end plate 31, so that the user's fingers can be accommodated in the clearance cavity 33. When the user's fingers are removed from the clearance cavity 33, the cover plate 34 rotates to cover the clearance through hole 311.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The gripping structure 3 also includes an elastic element 35, which is connected to the cover plate 34 and the side plate 32 respectively, or the elastic element 35 is connected to the cover plate 34 and the short plate respectively, and the cover plate 34 can overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 35 and rotate to communicate with the clearance through hole 311 and the clearance cavity 33.

[0067] In the above embodiments, when the user holds the holding structure 3 on the water storage box, the user's fingers abut against the cover plate 34, so that the cover plate 34 can rotate relative to the end plate 31 against the elastic force of the elastic member 35, so that the user's fingers can be accommodated in the avoiding cavity 33. When the user's fingers are removed from the avoiding cavity 33, the elastic member 35 restores to the original state, and the elastic member 35 can drive the cover plate 34 to rotate to cover the avoiding through hole 311.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cover plate 34 includes a covering portion 341 and a rotating shaft portion 342, the rotating shaft portion 342 is rotatably arranged on the end plate 31, the elastic member 35 includes a torsion spring, the torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft portion 342, one end of the torsion spring is connected with the end plate 31, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected with the side plate 32.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the top shell 14 is provided with a sunken table 144 recessed towards the bottom shell 15, and the overflow port 12 is arranged on the sunken table 144.
