Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, and in particular to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, ozone generators are usually placed outside the garment processing drum and at a considerable distance from it. An air pump or blower is needed to bring the ozone gas generated by the ozone generator into the garment processing drum. Since ozone is unstable and easily decomposes, ozone loss will occur during transportation, affecting the ozone concentration and utilization rate, and thus affecting the effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a clothing processing device to at least solve the technical problem that ozone gas transport loss due to the long installation location of the ozone generator affects the ozone concentration and utilization rate.

[0004] This embodiment provides a garment processing device, which includes:

[0005] Clothing handling drum;

[0006] A door seal is provided around the opening of the garment processing drum, and the door seal is provided with an air supply port that is connected to the garment processing drum.

[0007] A door body, which is provided corresponding to the opening of the clothing processing tube, is used to open and close the clothing processing tube;

[0008] An ozone generator is located on the side of the door facing the clothing treatment drum;

[0009] An air supply device is located outside the clothing treatment drum and is connected to the air supply port. The air supply device supplies air to the ozone generator through the air supply port.

[0010] According to the clothing treatment device of this embodiment, by placing the ozone generator on the side of the door close to the clothing treatment drum, the ozone generator is brought as close as possible to the clothing treatment drum, thereby shortening the path for ozone to enter the clothing treatment drum, reducing ozone decomposition, and improving ozone utilization efficiency. Furthermore, this embodiment also provides an air supply port at the door seal, allowing the air supply device to supply air to the ozone generator through the air supply port, thus ensuring the ozone concentration inside the clothing treatment drum and guaranteeing the sterilization and deodorization effect.

[0011] In one optional implementation of this application, the air supply device includes an air supply pump and an air supply pipe. The air supply pump includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the external environment, and the air supply pipe connects the air outlet to the air supply inlet.

[0012] According to the clothing processing device of this embodiment, by activating the air supply pump, air from the external environment is delivered to the opening of the clothing processing cylinder through the air supply pipe to supply air to the ozone generator and ensure the ozone concentration inside the cylinder.

[0013] In one optional implementation of this application, the door seal is further provided with an air inlet, the bottom of the clothing processing drum is provided with an air outlet, and the clothing processing equipment further includes an air duct component, the air duct component includes an air duct and a blower disposed in the air duct, the air duct connecting the air inlet and the air outlet.

[0014] In one optional implementation of this application embodiment, the air supply device further includes an air valve, which is disposed on the air supply pipe;

[0015] The air supply pump and the air valve are configured such that, when it is determined that the ozone generator needs to be activated, if the blower is running, the air supply pump remains closed and the air valve is opened. The circulating air generated by the blower creates a negative pressure near the ozone generator, drawing in outside air through the air supply pipe, the air valve, and the air supply port to supply air to the ozone generator. If the blower is closed, the air supply pump is activated and the air valve is opened, allowing outside air to be supplied to the ozone generator through the air supply pipe, the air valve, and the air supply port under the action of the air supply pump.

[0016] According to the clothing processing equipment of this embodiment, by setting an air valve, when the blower is working, the air valve is opened, and the air pressure generated by the internal circulation air draws air through the air valve and air supply port into the clothing processing cylinder to supply ozone to the ozone generator to produce ozone. At this time, the air pump is controlled to shut off; when the blower is not working, the air pump is controlled to supply air into the clothing processing cylinder. This embodiment, while ensuring a sufficient oxygen source and avoiding affecting ozone production, also allows for flexible switching of the air supply mode, avoiding unnecessary resource waste.

[0017] In one optional implementation of this application, the door further includes a glass bowl, and the ozone generator is located on the side of the glass bowl facing the clothing processing drum.

[0018] According to the clothing treatment device of this embodiment, by placing the ozone generator in the glass bowl, the door space is made reasonable use, and the ozone generated by the ozone generator can enter the clothing treatment drum more smoothly, thereby improving the sterilization and deodorization effect of ozone on clothing.

[0019] In one optional implementation of this application embodiment, the gas supply device is located above the clothing treatment drum, and the ozone generator is located near the center of the glass bowl;

[0020] And / or, the gas supply device is located above the clothing treatment drum, and the gas supply port is located above or to the side of the ozone generator.

[0021] According to the clothing processing device of this embodiment, by reasonably optimizing the position of the ozone generator in the glass bowl and the gas supply port, the path of ozone into the clothing processing drum can be further shortened, the decomposition of ozone during transportation can be reduced or even avoided, and the ozone utilization rate can be improved.

[0022] In one optional implementation of this application, the ozone generator includes a lamp holder and an ultraviolet lamp detachably disposed in the lamp holder, wherein the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp can decompose oxygen in the air to produce ozone.

[0023] The door body has a mounting groove on the side facing the clothing processing drum, and at least the lamp holder is located in the mounting groove;

[0024] The mounting groove is equipped with a sealing element, which seals the lamp holder within the mounting groove.

[0025] According to the clothing treatment device of this embodiment, ozone is generated by decomposing oxygen using ultraviolet light produced by an ultraviolet lamp, while the ultraviolet lamp also sterilizes, achieving a dual sterilization and deodorization effect on clothing. Furthermore, by sealing the lamp holder of the ozone generator to the side of the door closest to the clothing treatment drum, water damage to the components of the ozone generator due to washing water or steam inside the clothing treatment drum can be effectively prevented, thereby reducing safety hazards.

[0026] In one optional implementation of this application, both the lamp holder and the ultraviolet lamp are disposed in the mounting groove. The ultraviolet lamp includes a light-emitting part and a foot. The lamp holder includes a base and a connecting part disposed in the base. The foot is detachably connected to the connecting part.

[0027] The sealing element includes a sealing ring, the inner wall of the mounting groove is provided with an annular groove, the sealing ring is sleeved on the outside of the light-emitting part, and the outer ring of the sealing ring is embedded in the annular groove, and the inner ring of the sealing ring is interference-fitted with the light-emitting part.

[0028] According to the garment processing device of this embodiment, the first layer of sealing of the lamp holder is achieved by embedding the outer ring of the sealing ring in the annular groove, and the second layer of sealing of the lamp holder is achieved by the interference fit between the inner ring of the sealing ring and the light-emitting part, effectively ensuring the sealing effect of the lamp holder.

[0029] In one optional implementation of this application, the end of the light-emitting part near the foot is a first cylindrical structure with a variable diameter, and the sealing ring is a second cylindrical structure adapted to the first cylindrical structure.

[0030] According to the clothing treatment device of this embodiment, by setting the end of the light-emitting part near the foot as a first cylindrical structure with a variable diameter and the sealing ring as a second cylindrical structure adapted to the first cylindrical structure, the waterproof effect on the lamp holder can be further improved.

[0031] In one optional implementation of this application, there are multiple sealing rings, which are stacked sequentially along the axial direction of the garment processing cylinder. The inner diameter of the sealing ring closest to the garment processing cylinder is of equal diameter, and the inner diameter of the sealing ring furthest from the garment processing cylinder is of variable diameter.

[0032] According to the garment processing device of this embodiment, by employing a multi-layer sealing ring, each layer of the sealing ring is interference-fitted with the light-emitting part, and by using an equal diameter structure and a variable diameter structure for the inner ring of the multi-layer sealing ring to form a second cylindrical structure adapted to the first cylindrical structure, the waterproof effect is further enhanced.

[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] It should be understood that "multiple" as mentioned herein refers to two or more. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this document is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. In addition, to facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used in the embodiments of this application to distinguish identical or similar items with substantially the same function and effect. Those skilled in the art will understand that the terms "first," "second," etc., do not limit the quantity or execution order, and the terms "first," "second," etc., do not necessarily imply that they are different.

[0045] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0046] In related technologies, ozone generators used in clothing processing equipment are mostly installed outside the clothing processing drum, such as on the bottom plate, side plate, outer wall of the outer drum, or inside the air duct, at a relatively long distance from the clothing processing drum. The ozone generated by the ozone generator needs to be delivered into the clothing processing drum by an air pump or blower. Since ozone is unstable and easily decomposes, the decomposition of ozone will be accelerated by the blowing and temperature during transportation, resulting in ozone loss and affecting the ozone concentration and utilization rate.

[0047] To address the above technical problems, this embodiment proposes a garment processing device, which includes:

[0048] Clothing handling drum;

[0049] A door seal is installed around the opening of the garment processing drum. The door seal is equipped with an air supply port that is connected to the garment processing drum.

[0050] The door is designed to correspond to the opening of the clothes handling drum and is used to open and close the clothes handling drum.

[0051] An ozone generator is located on the side of the door facing the laundry drum;

[0052] An air supply device is located outside the clothing treatment drum and is connected to the air supply port. The air supply device supplies air to the ozone generator through the air supply port.

[0053] In this embodiment, the ozone generator is positioned on the side of the door closest to the clothes processing drum, thus maximizing its proximity to the drum and shortening the path for ozone to enter. This reduces ozone decomposition and enhances ozone utilization. Furthermore, this embodiment includes an air supply port at the door seal, allowing the air supply device to supply air to the ozone generator, ensuring a stable ozone concentration within the clothes processing drum and guaranteeing effective sterilization and deodorization.

[0054] The following describes this embodiment in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and examples can be combined with each other.

[0055] This embodiment provides a garment processing device, which may be, for example, a washing machine, a dryer, or a washer-dryer. The garment processing device can be either a top-loading or a front-loading garment processing device.

[0056] The following describes the technical solution of this embodiment in detail using a drum-type garment processing device as an example, but this should not be used to narrow the scope of protection of the application.

[0057] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a housing 1, a garment processing drum 3, a door seal 8, a door 2, an ozone generator 5, and an air supply device, wherein:

[0058] When the clothing processing equipment does not have a washing function, the clothing processing drum 3 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 1, and the drum wall of the clothing processing drum 3 is not provided with small holes; when the clothing processing equipment has a washing function, the clothing processing equipment also includes an outer drum, which is disposed inside the housing 1, and the clothing processing drum 3 is rotatably disposed in the outer drum, and the drum wall of the clothing processing drum 3 is provided with multiple small holes to allow airflow and waterflow to flow between the outer drum and the clothing processing drum 3.

[0059] The garment processing tube 3 also includes a tube opening, a door seal 8 surrounding the tube opening of the garment processing tube 3, and a door body 2 located on the front side of the housing 1 and corresponding to the tube opening of the garment processing tube 3. The door body 2 is used to open and close the garment processing tube 3. When the tube opening is closed, the door seal 8 seals the door body 2 to the garment processing tube 3 to prevent airflow or water from overflowing from the door body 2 inside the garment processing tube 3.

[0060] An air supply port 71 is provided at the door seal 8, and the air supply port 71 is connected to the clothing processing cylinder 3. There is no limit to the number of air supply ports 71, and multiple air supply ports 71 can be set up and arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the cylinder opening.

[0061] The ozone generator 5 decomposes oxygen in the air to form ozone. The ozone generator 5 is located on the side of the door 2 facing the laundry drum 3 to shorten the path of ozone into the laundry drum 3, reduce or even avoid ozone decomposition during transport, and improve ozone utilization. In one example, the door 2 includes a door frame and a glass bowl 4 disposed on the door frame, with the ozone generator 5 disposed on the door frame and / or the glass bowl 4. Preferably, the ozone generator 5 is located on the side of the glass bowl 4 facing the laundry drum 3.

[0062] An air supply device is located outside the clothing processing drum 3 and is connected to the air supply port 71. The air supply device is used to supply air to the ozone generator 5 through the air supply port 71. Since the clothing processing equipment is in operation, the clothing processing drum 3 is usually in a sealed state, and the amount of oxygen inside the drum is limited and cannot meet the ozone demand. Therefore, an air supply device is set up to supply air from the outside to the ozone generator 5 to meet the oxygen consumption of the air inside the drum.

[0063] The location of the ozone generator 5 within the glass bowl 4 is not specifically limited; its location can be adjusted based on the position of the gas supply device. In one example, the gas supply device is located above the clothing treatment drum 3, and the ozone generator 5 is positioned close to the center of the glass bowl 4, preferably slightly above the center of the glass bowl 4. This shortens the distance the airflow travels to the ozone generator 5 and improves the uniformity of ozone distribution within the clothing treatment drum 3, thereby enhancing the sterilization and deodorization effect on clothing.

[0064] The location of the air supply port 71 on the door seal 8 is not limited and can be adjusted according to the location of the air supply device and the ozone generator 5. In one example, the ozone generator 5 is located near the center of the glass bowl 4, the air supply device is located above the clothing treatment drum 3, and the air supply port 71 is located above or to the side of the ozone generator 5 to shorten the distance the airflow travels to the ozone generator 5 and improve the efficiency of ozone generation by the ozone generator 5.

[0065] In one optional implementation, the air supply device includes an air supply pump 73 and an air supply pipe 74. The air supply pump 73 includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the external environment. The air supply pipe 74 connects the air outlet to the air supply port 71. When the air supply pump 73 is running, the air inlet can draw in air from the external environment. The air outlet delivers air to the opening of the clothing treatment drum 3 through the air supply pipe 74 to supply air to the ozone generator 5 and ensure the ozone concentration inside the drum.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the door seal 8 is further provided with an air inlet 11, and the bottom of the garment processing drum 3 is provided with an air outlet. The garment processing equipment also includes an air duct component, which includes an air duct 10 and a blower 9 disposed in the air duct 10. The air duct 10 connects the air inlet 11 and the air outlet. When the garment processing equipment requires the blower 9 to be activated for a garment processing program, such as a drying program, an internal circulation air is formed between the air duct 10 and the garment processing drum 3.

[0067] Considering that relying solely on the air supply pump 73 would result in unnecessary energy waste, an air valve 72 can be introduced, and the operation of the air supply pump 73 can be determined based on the pressure state within the clothing processing drum 3. In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the air supply device further includes an air valve 72, which is located on the air supply pipe 74. The air supply pump 73 and the air valve 72 are configured such that, when it is determined that the ozone generator 5 needs to be activated, if the blower 9 is running, the air supply pump 73 remains closed and the air valve 72 is opened. The circulating air generated by the blower 9 creates a negative pressure near the ozone generator 5, drawing in outside air through the air supply pipe 74, the air valve 72, and the air outlet 71 to supply air to the ozone generator 5. If the blower 9 is closed, the air supply pump 73 is activated and the air valve 72 is opened, allowing outside air to be supplied to the ozone generator 5 through the air supply pipe 74, the air valve 72, and the air outlet 71 under the action of the air supply pump 73.

[0068] When the blower 9 is running, the internal circulation air formed between the air duct 10 and the clothes processing drum 3 will generate negative pressure near the ozone generator 5. At this time, by opening the air valve 72 and closing the air supply pump 73, air from the outside environment will automatically enter the clothes processing drum 3 through the air supply pipe 74, air valve 72, and air supply port 71. When the clothes processing equipment is running a clothes processing program that does not require the blower 9 to be started, such as a washing program, the air supply pump 73 can be controlled to start to draw outside air into the drum opening of the clothes processing drum 3 to supply air to the ozone generator 5. This embodiment ensures sufficient oxygen supply and avoids affecting ozone production, while also allowing for flexible switching of the air supply mode to avoid unnecessary resource waste.

[0069] Considering that using low-concentration ozone alone for sterilization and deodorization is ineffective, while using high-concentration ozone for sterilization and deodorization easily leads to ozone leakage, therefore, in one optional implementation of this embodiment, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ozone generator 5 includes a lamp holder 51 and an ultraviolet lamp 52 detachably mounted on the lamp holder 51. The ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 52 can decompose oxygen in the air to produce ozone. In this embodiment, the ultraviolet lamp 52 is, for example, a bead-shaped lamp or a tube-shaped lamp, preferably a bead-shaped lamp to reduce installation space and simplify waterproof sealing.

[0070] Specifically, lamp holder 51 is connected to a power source, and ultraviolet lamp 52, when positioned in lamp holder 51, is electrically connected to it, thus enabling the power source to supply power to the ultraviolet lamp 52. When powered on, ultraviolet lamp 52 generates ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 185nm. This wavelength of ultraviolet light can decompose oxygen molecules (O2) in the air into individual oxygen atoms (O). These oxygen atoms then recombine with undecomposed oxygen molecules (O2) to form ozone (O3). Therefore, ultraviolet lamp 52 can directly decompose the oxygen-containing air inside the clothing treatment drum 3 and generate ozone gas. Ozone is not lost during transport, resulting in high utilization. Furthermore, the ultraviolet light emitted by ultraviolet lamp 52 and the ozone simultaneously treat the clothes inside the drum, achieving a dual sterilization and deodorization effect.

[0071] Since the ozone generator 5 is installed inside the door 2 on the side facing the clothes processing drum 3, the components of the ozone generator 5 may be damaged by water immersion due to washing water or steam, causing safety hazards. Therefore, in order to solve the waterproof problem of the ozone generator 5 installed in the door 2, in an optional implementation of this application embodiment, an installation groove 41 is provided on the side of the door 2 facing the clothes processing drum 3, and at least the lamp holder 51 is installed in the installation groove 41. The installation groove 41 is provided with a sealing member 6, which seals the lamp holder 51 in the installation groove 41, thereby effectively sealing the lamp holder 51 which is electrically connected to the power supply and reducing safety hazards.

[0072] Furthermore, both the lamp holder 51 and the ultraviolet lamp 52 are disposed within the mounting groove 41. The ultraviolet lamp 52 includes a light-emitting part 521 and a foot 522. The lamp holder 51 includes a base 511 and a connecting part 512 disposed on the base 511. The foot 522 is detachably connected to the connecting part 512 to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the ultraviolet lamp 52. The detachable connection method between the foot 522 and the connecting part 512 is not specifically limited. For example, the connecting part 512 includes a cavity disposed on the base 511, the foot 522 is disposed within the cavity, the foot 522 has external threads, and the inner wall of the cavity has internal threads that mate with the external threads. In other possible implementations, the connecting part 512 and the foot 522 can also be connected by a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0073] The sealing element 6 includes a sealing ring. The inner wall of the mounting groove 41 is provided with an annular groove 411 that mates with the sealing ring. The sealing ring is fitted over the outside of the light-emitting part 521, and the outer ring of the sealing ring is embedded in the annular groove 411. The inner ring of the sealing ring is interference-fitted with the light-emitting part 521. The outer ring of the sealing ring embedded in the annular groove 411 provides a first layer of sealing for the lamp holder 51, and the interference fit between the inner ring of the sealing ring and the light-emitting part 521 provides a second layer of sealing for the lamp holder 51, effectively ensuring the sealing effect of the lamp holder 51.

[0074] The shape and structure of the sealing ring in this embodiment can be designed according to the shape of the ultraviolet lamp 52, so that the sealing ring matches the shape of the ultraviolet lamp 52, further improving the waterproof effect. For example, if the ultraviolet lamp is cylindrical, the sealing ring can be a cylindrical shape with an interference fit.

[0075] In one example, the end of the light-emitting part 521 near the foot 522 is a first cylindrical structure with a variable diameter, exemplarily, combined with the attached... Figure 5 The first cylindrical structure near the foot 522 expands from front to back. The sealing ring is a second cylindrical structure that fits the first cylindrical structure, thus achieving better waterproofing.

[0076] The sealing rings are multi-layered, and are stacked sequentially along the axial direction of the garment processing cylinder 3. At least the sealing ring closest to the garment processing cylinder 3 has a constant inner diameter, while at least the sealing ring furthest from the garment processing cylinder 3 has a variable inner diameter. For example, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the mounting groove 41 is provided with a first sealing ring 61, a second sealing ring 62 and a third sealing ring 63. The inner diameter of the first sealing ring 61 is a constant diameter structure, while the inner diameters of the first sealing ring 61 and the third sealing ring 63 are variable diameter structures, and the inner diameter of the third sealing ring 63 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second sealing ring 62.

[0077] This embodiment employs a multi-layer sealing ring, with each layer of the sealing ring having an interference fit with the light-emitting part 521. Furthermore, this embodiment further enhances the waterproof effect by using an equal-diameter structure and a variable-diameter structure for the inner ring of the multi-layer sealing ring to form a second cylindrical structure that is compatible with the first cylindrical structure.

[0078] Preferably, the sealing ring in this embodiment is made of rubber. It can flexibly cooperate with the light-emitting part 521 without damaging the glass shell of the light-emitting part 521. After the lamp bead is connected to the lamp holder 51, it generates a certain pressure on the sealing member 6 to ensure the reliability of the sealing performance.

[0079] The control logic of the clothing processing equipment in this embodiment will be described below with reference to a specific example.

[0080] The clothing processing device in this embodiment is provided with an air duct component, which includes an air duct 10 and a blower 9 disposed in the air duct 10. The air duct 10 connects the air inlet 11 and the air outlet of the clothing processing cylinder 3. The blower 9 is used to form an air or hot air circulation between the clothing processing cylinder 3 and the air duct 10 to dry the clothes.

[0081] like Figure 6 The control flow diagram shown illustrates that the control flow of the garment processing equipment in this embodiment includes the following processes:

[0082] After the program is started, the operating instructions of the ozone generator 5 are obtained (process S02);

[0083] Determine whether it is necessary to start the ozone generator 5 (process S03);

[0084] If the ozone generator 5 is not required to be started, it indicates that it is not a sterilization or deodorization program. In this case, the air supply pump 73 and the air valve 72 are both kept closed (process S04), and the ozone generator 5 is also turned off (process S05).

[0085] If it is necessary to start the ozone generator 5, then it is necessary to determine whether the air supply fan 9 has started running (process S06);

[0086] If the blower 9 starts running, the air supply pump 73 is kept closed, the air valve 72 is opened (process S07), and the ozone generator 5 is started (process S08). The circulating air generated by the blower 9 will generate negative pressure near the ozone generator 55, drawing in outside air and supplying it to the ozone generator 5 to generate ozone gas.

[0087] If the blower 9 is not running, it indicates that the process is washing or care, such as steam spraying. In this case, the air supply pump 73 is started and the air valve 72 is opened (process S09). The air supply pump 73 supplies air to the ozone generator 5 after passing through the air pipe, air valve 72, and air supply port 71, and the ozone generator 5 is started to generate ozone (process S08).

[0088] After starting the ozone generator 5, it is checked whether the start-up time T1 of the ozone generator 5 satisfies T1≥Ti (process S10). Ti is a preset time value, which can be selected from 5 to 30 minutes.

[0089] If T1≥Ti, it means that the sterilization or deodorization time has arrived. Then, turn off the ozone generator 5, and then turn off the air supply pump 73 and the air valve 72.

[0090] If T1 < Ti, it means that the sterilization or deodorization time has not been reached, and the ozone generator 5 should continue to be turned on.

[0091] By controlling the start and stop status of the blower 9, the operation of the air supply pump 73 can be reasonably controlled to ensure sufficient oxygen supply and ozone production, and to avoid resource waste caused by the simultaneous operation of the blower 9 and the air supply pump 73.

[0092] Other embodiments of the present invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the embodiments disclosed herein.
