In addition, the ordinal numbers "first", "second" and the like are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to indicate or suggest relative importance.

[0035] In addition, it also needs to be explained that, in the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection or integral connection; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] The present application provides an atomization mechanism, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The atomization mechanism 2 includes a solvent tank 21, a wet curtain 22, an air supply assembly 23 and a quantity control assembly 24.

[0037] The solvent tank 21 has an inner cavity for containing solvent, and the solvent can be disinfectant required for odor removal of the nursing machine, such as quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant, ethylene oxide disinfectant, alcohol disinfectant, biguanide disinfectant, etc. As shown in Figure 1 The solvent tank 21 is provided with a liquid supplementing port 212, through which the disinfectant required for odor removal of the nursing machine can be supplemented in time into the solvent tank 21.

[0038] The solvent tank 21 is provided with an overflow channel 211 in communication with the inner cavity, and the wet curtain 22 is arranged at the liquid outlet end of the overflow channel 211, that is, the liquid inlet end of the overflow channel 211 is in communication with the inner cavity, and the liquid outlet end of the overflow channel 211 extends directly above the wet curtain 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, the liquid inlet end of the overflow channel 211 extends to the inner cavity of the solvent tank 21, and the liquid outlet end of the overflow channel 211 extends to the wet curtain 22 directly above the bottom wall of the solvent tank 21. The use of this design ensures that the solvent can flow seamlessly from the solvent tank 21 to the overflow channel 211, and then smoothly along the inner wall of the overflow channel 211 (a nearly straight path) to the inside of the wet curtain 22. This straight flow path not only greatly facilitates the smoothness of the solvent from the solvent tank 21 to the wet curtain 22, but also reduces the need for external piping, which helps to reduce piping connections and the overall size of the mechanism.

[0039] Alternatively, the entire overflow channel 211 can also be arranged outside the solvent tank 21, such as forming an overflow port on the side wall of the solvent tank 21 for the liquid inlet end of the overflow channel 211 to communicate with the inner cavity, and the liquid outlet end of the overflow channel 211 extends outwardly above the wet curtain 22. The use of this design of overflow channel 211 can also meet the requirement that the solvent overflowing from the solvent tank 21 is transported to the wet curtain 22 through the overflow channel 211.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the air supply assembly 23 is arranged on one side of the wet curtain 22 and its air supply direction is towards the wet curtain 22, so that the generated air flow passes through the wet curtain 22 and carries the solvent into the care area, the presence of the air flow can not only accelerate the volatilization of the solvent on the surface of the wet curtain 22, but also promote the uniform distribution of the solvent in the care area, thereby facilitating the improvement of the deodorizing effect.

[0041] In order to ensure that the solvent does not leak laterally, the liquid outlet end of the overflow channel 211 is arranged in close contact with the top of the wet curtain 22, so that the solvent flowing out of the overflow channel 211 can directly and unobstructedly penetrate into the inside of the wet curtain 22, thereby achieving full wetting of the wet curtain 22, and at the same time, the solvent also forms a layer of solvent water film on the surface of the wet curtain 22, which is conducive to improving the volatilization efficiency of the wet curtain 22 and facilitating the air flow to carry away the solvent in the wet curtain 22.

[0042] The liquid outlet end of the overflow channel 211 is provided with a flow converging portion 2111, which can optimize the flow path of the solvent and effectively guide the solvent flowing in the overflow channel 211 to the wet curtain 22, thereby reducing the loss of the solvent during transportation.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4The control component 24 is arranged on the solvent tank 21, and the control component 24 comprises a driving part, a transmission part and a movable part 241. The driving part is connected with the movable part 241 through the transmission part. The movable part 241 is movably arranged on the inner side wall or the inner top wall of the solvent tank 21. In this way, the movable part 241 can be immersed in the solvent under the driving action of the driving part to force part of the solvent to be discharged from the overflow channel 211, and the volume of the solvent overflowed from the overflow channel 211 can be adjusted by the volume of the movable part 241 immersed in the solvent.

[0044] Further, the movable part 241 has a cylindrical structure or a prismatic structure. Regardless of whether the cylindrical structure or the prismatic structure is adopted as the movable part 241, the cross-sectional area of the movable part 241 in the horizontal direction remains consistent. Therefore, the volume of the movable part 241 immersed in the solvent can be accurately controlled by controlling the immersion depth of the movable part 241, and the immersion depth of the movable part 241 can be accurately controlled by the rotation angle of the motor.

[0045] In one use scenario, the liquid level of the solvent in the solvent tank 21 is level with the highest position of the liquid inlet end of the overflow channel 211. Before operation, the driving part drives the movable part 241 to return to the initial state (which can be a certain distance from the liquid level or can be level with the liquid level), so that the immersion depth of the movable part 241 can be conveniently controlled during operation.

[0046] In another use scenario, the liquid level of the solvent in the solvent tank 21 is lower than the highest position of the liquid inlet end of the overflow channel 211. Before operation, the driving part drives the movable part 241 to move downward, and part of the movable part 241 will gradually immerse in the solvent in the solvent tank 21 until the liquid level of the solvent in the solvent tank 21 is level with the highest position of the liquid inlet end of the overflow channel 211, so as to serve as the initial position of the movable part 241 to realize the initialization of the movable part 241. The position of the liquid level can be monitored by a liquid level gauge.

[0047] During operation, when the movement distance of the movable part 241 reaches the preset movement distance (the preset movement distance corresponds to the overflow amount of the solvent), the driving part will immediately stop working, thereby realizing the quantitative control of the overflow amount of the solvent. It can be understood that the preset movement distance is preset by the equipment and is related to the amount of clothes in the care area, etc. and can be divided into multiple overflow amount levels. The specific level can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0048] The driving part can be a guide rail type linear motor, a push rod motor, a micro hydraulic cylinder, etc. The transmission part can be a worm gear, a gear and rack, a ball screw, etc.

[0049] The atomization mechanism 2 further comprises an atomization box 25, which is arranged below the solvent box 21, and the wet curtain 22 and the air supply assembly 23 are arranged in the atomization box 25. By integrating the wet curtain 22, the air supply assembly 23 and other components in the atomization box 25, a compact structure is formed together with the solvent box 21, thereby saving installation space and making the entire atomization mechanism 2 more compact and portable, facilitating installation and use in limited space.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The utility model discloses an embodiment further provides a clothes care machine, the clothes care machine includes cabinet 1 and the atomization mechanism 2 in any one of preceding technical solutions, and the cabinet 1 has the receiving cavity, and the atomization mechanism 2 is arranged in the receiving cavity, and the atomization box 25 is equipped with the air inlet and the air outlet 251 that communicates with the care area of cabinet 1.

[0051] The air inlet of the atomization box 25 can be designed flexibly, which can be directly communicated with the outside of the cabinet 1, so that fresh air from the outside can smoothly enter the inside of the cabinet 1, and the care area of the cabinet 1 is also provided with an air outlet communicated with the outside, thereby forming a complete air circulation passage, ensuring the continuous updating and circulation of air in the care area, and realizing the effect of external air circulation.

[0052] On the other hand, in order to meet the specific care needs or environmental requirements, the air inlet can also be communicated with the care area of the cabinet 1 through a pipeline. This design enables the air in the care area to circulate in a closed pipeline system, avoiding the interference of external air on the internal environment, thereby realizing the self-circulation effect of internal gas and providing a good care environment for clothes and other items.

[0053] During operation, first, the driving component is started, and under the driving action of the driving component, the movable component 241 slowly moves downward. This action causes the solvent in the solvent box 21 to overflow through the overflow channel 211 and flow along the overflow channel 211 to the wet curtain 22. The solvent uniformly wets the wet curtain 22 and forms a layer of water film on its surface. Then, the air supply assembly 23 is started, which drives the circulation of air flow. The air flow carries the solvent attached to the wet curtain 22 and enters the care area, and then the solvent is attached to the clothes, achieving the purpose of sterilization and odor removal of the clothes, ensuring that the clothes are fresh and odorless.

[0054] The solvent tank 21 and the atomization tank 25 are detachably connected to the cabinet body 1. The detachable connection design facilitates the user or the maintenance personnel to detach the solvent tank 21 and the atomization tank 25 from the cabinet body 1, so as to facilitate the separate cleaning and maintenance of the two components, which helps to maintain the hygiene and performance of the device and prolong the service life of the device. When the clothes do not need to be cared, the user can detach the solvent tank 21 and the atomization tank 25 and store them in other places, thereby increasing the clothes hanging space and enabling the clothes care machine to be temporarily used as a wardrobe.

[0055] The atomization mechanism 2 is arranged at a region close to the top of the side wall of the cabinet body 1. The airflow released by the atomization mechanism 2 arranged at the region flows downward and diffuses naturally, and the airflow path from top to bottom helps to promote the uniform distribution of the solvent in the cabinet body 1. At the same time, since the airflow gradually diffuses during the descending process, it can more comprehensively cover the entire care region.

[0056] The clothes care machine provided by the embodiment of the utility model, in the care process, through the drive component drives the movable component 241 to immerse in the solvent, makes the solvent in the solvent box slowly overflow through the overflow passage 211, and evenly soaks the wet curtain 22, finally forms a layer of water film on the surface of the wet curtain 22. When the air supply assembly 23 starts, the airflow generated passes through the wet curtain 22, the water film will volatilize to form steam under the action of the airflow, and is sent into the care region together with the airflow.

[0057] In this way, not only the clothes in the care region are comprehensively sterilized, disinfected and deeply deodorized, but also the depth of the movable component 241 immersed in the solvent can be accurately controlled by controlling the movement distance of the movable component 241, and then the overflow amount of the solvent in the solvent tank 21 is controlled, so that the amount of the solvent for wetting the wet curtain 22 can be stably controlled, the use demand of adapting different amounts of solvent in different care scenes is met, the use range of the care machine is expanded, the care effect is improved, the use of the amount of the solvent is accurately controlled, waste or deficiency is avoided, and the use experience of the user is improved. In addition, the deodorizing solvent is used to replace the traditional ozone deodorizing mode, which can effectively avoid the damage to the clothes caused by the strong oxidizing property of ozone, protect the service life of the clothes, and provide a safer and gentler clothes care experience for the user.

[0058] The technical scheme of the utility model has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but those skilled in the art can easily understand that the protection scope of the utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without deviating from the principles of the utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features, and the technical scheme after the changes or replacements will fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
