Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household appliance technology, specifically, it relates to a water inlet module and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, clothing processing equipment is a device capable of washing, rinsing, dehydrating, and / or drying clothes. Taking a drum washing machine as an example, a drum washing machine relies on internal mechanical control to generate centrifugal force, simulating the principle of beating clothes with a stick, and then uses detergent and water to wash the clothes and spin-dry them. Clothing processing equipment brings great convenience to people.

[0003] For front-loading washing machines, water enters the drum through an inlet pipe, typically from the top, meaning the inlet height of the inlet pipe is higher than the outlet height. This method is simple, as water flows naturally into the drum under gravity. However, with the increasing intelligence of front-loading washing machines, to accommodate larger installation spaces, it may be necessary to change the inlet method to bottom inlet, where the inlet height of the inlet pipe is lower than the outlet height. Since the water flows from bottom to top, it's crucial to prevent pressure loss within the inlet pipe during the water intake process. Therefore, how to implement bottom inlet in laundry equipment is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0063] like Figures 1 to 7As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a water inlet module 800 for a garment processing device is introduced. The water inlet module 800 is a water inlet pipe 810 installed on the garment processing device. Multiple water inlet pipes 810 can be installed according to different water inlet methods, such as: a spray pipe for spray water inlet, a main pipe for main water inlet, a rinsing pipe for rinsing water flow, an atomizing pipe for atomizing liquid, etc.

[0064] In this embodiment of the invention, the clothing processing equipment can be a washing machine, a washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0065] This utility model embodiment introduces a clothing processing device, including a tubular module 100 and the aforementioned water inlet module 800. The tubular module 100 is installed on a frame structure via a vibration damping component. The frame structure is provided with a clothing inlet. The tubular opening of the tubular module 100 is typically connected to the clothing inlet on the frame structure via a window pad 113.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the drum washing machine has a twin-tub structure, the tub module 100 includes an outer tub and an inner tub fitted inside the outer tub. The axis of the outer tub extends horizontally or slightly upward at the tub opening. The outer tub is movably mounted on the frame structure, and a drive mechanism is installed on the rear side of the bottom of the outer tub. The motor shaft of the drive motor can be directly or via a reduction clutch connected to the inner tub to drive the inner tub to rotate and perform washing, spin-drying, and other treatments on the clothes inside the inner tub.

[0067] The water inlet module 800 of this utility model includes multiple water inlet pipes 810. The water inlet end of each water inlet pipe 810 is connected to the water source of the clothing processing equipment via a water distribution unit 820 or an on / off valve, which can be controlled to open and close. The water outlet end of each water inlet pipe 810 is connected to different modules of the clothing processing equipment, so as to achieve the effect of individually controllable water inlet. All of the water inlet pipes 810 extend from bottom to top; or, part of the water inlet pipes 810 extends from bottom to top, and the rest extends horizontally.

[0068] Specifically, the water inlet module 800 of this utility model also includes a dispensing device 830, and the water inlet pipeline 810 includes a first water inlet pipeline 811 and a second water inlet pipeline 812. The first water inlet pipeline 811 is used to introduce water into the cylinder module 100. The second water inlet pipeline 812 is used to mix with detergent additives in the dispensing device 830 and to deliver the mixture of detergent additives and water into the cylinder module 100.

[0069] In this embodiment, the washing additive can be detergent, fabric softener, disinfectant, etc.

[0070] In this embodiment, the dispensing device 830 includes a box body 831 and a top cover 832. The box body 831 is a recessed shape with an opening at the front and an open top. The top cover 832 is disposed on the top of the box body 831 and can cover and fasten with the box body 831. The top cover 832 has an internal hollow structure and a water inlet channel is provided in the hollow structure of the top cover 832. The box body 831 has an installation space for the dispensing box 833 to be inserted.

[0071] In this embodiment, the dispensing box 833 is movably connected to the box body 831. Preferably, the dispensing box 833 is pushed and pulled on the box body 831. The dispensing box 833 can be pulled outward by hand to open, and then the corresponding detergent additive can be added into the dispensing box 833 and then pushed inward to close.

[0072] In this embodiment, the dispensing box 833 has a dispensing chamber formed inside, which is connected to the water inlet channel. Multiple dispensing chambers can be designed to realize the multi-functional design of the dispensing box 833 to meet the dispensing needs of different types of detergent additives.

[0073] Furthermore, the multiple dispensing chambers can be independent chambers detachably mounted on the dispensing box 833, or they can be integrated into the dispensing box 833 as storage tanks for holding additives. Of course, each dispensing chamber can also be independently configured, i.e., multiple dispensing boxes 833 can be provided, arranged side-by-side. Preferably, in this embodiment, only one dispensing box 833 is provided, making the structure of the dispensing device 830 simpler and facilitating rapid dispensing.

[0074] In this embodiment, the dispensing box 833 may be provided with a transparent window, through which the liquid level in each dispensing chamber can be observed, and a scale line is provided at the window to facilitate timely washing of the additive by the user.

[0075] In this embodiment, a pumping unit 834 is provided between the pressurized water passage 840 and the dispensing box 833. When the dispensing box 833 is pushed into the box body 831 and enters the predetermined position, the water inlet channel and the dispensing chamber can be connected. When the drum washing machine is working, the washing additive in the dispensing chamber can be sent into the water inlet channel and enter the drum module 100 under the action of water flow.

[0076] Specifically, the dispensing chamber is connected to a first liquid guide tube, with its inlet end extending into the bottom of the dispensing chamber and its outlet end facing the side of the dispensing chamber that is pushed into the box 831. The inlet end of the first liquid guide tube is located at the lowest liquid level in the dispensing chamber. The water inlet channel is connected to a second liquid guide tube, with its inlet end located on the rear side wall of the box 831 and coaxially connected to the outlet end of the first liquid guide tube. After the dispensing box 833 is pushed into the box 831, the outlet end of the first liquid guide tube and the inlet end of the second liquid guide tube are connected, thus connecting the first and second liquid guide tubes, and thus connecting the dispensing chamber and the water inlet channel.

[0077] In this embodiment, the outlet end of the first liquid guide tube is inserted into the inlet end of the second liquid guide tube. The outer wall of the first liquid guide tube and the inner wall of the second liquid guide tube are provided with at least one sealing ring, so that the two liquid guide tubes after insertion form a seal and prevent the additive from leaking from the insertion gap.

[0078] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the detergent additive from leaking from the first liquid guide tube after the dispensing box 833 is pulled out, a switch valve can be provided at the liquid outlet end of the first liquid guide tube. This valve is used to seal the end of the corresponding first liquid guide tube after the dispensing box 833 is pulled out and to connect the two inserted liquid guide tubes after the dispensing box 833 is pushed in.

[0079] In this embodiment, the switching valve can be a telescopic structure. Specifically, a spring mechanism is provided inside the dispensing box 833, which can drive the sealing structure to move horizontally. When the dispensing box 833 is pushed into the box body 831, the spring mechanism is compressed, pushing the sealing mechanism inward and connecting the pipeline. When the dispensing box 833 is pulled out, the spring mechanism is no longer pushed, and the sealing mechanism is reset under the action of the spring, thus sealing the pipeline.

[0080] In this embodiment, to meet the need for more installation space, the water inlet method is set to bottom inlet, that is, the inlet height of the water inlet pipe 810 is lower than the outlet height of the water inlet pipe 810. To ensure stable bottom inlet operation, in this embodiment, the dispensing device 830 is located at the bottom of the clothing processing equipment, and the water inlet channel in the dispensing channel is set as a pressurized water channel 840. The water inlet pipe 810 is connected to the pressurized water channel 840 to realize the bottom-up delivery of water.

[0081] In this embodiment, the water inlet pipe 810 is connected to the cylindrical module 100 or the window gasket 113, and the inlet of the water inlet pipe 810 is located below the cylindrical module 100. Part of the water inlet pipe 810 is located below the cylindrical module 100 and extends a certain length along the axial direction of the cylindrical module 100, and part of the water inlet pipe 810 is located on one side of the side wall of the cylindrical module 100 and extends a certain length along the radial direction of the cylindrical module 100.

[0082] In this embodiment, a nozzle unit is installed on the upper part of the window pad 113. The nozzle of the nozzle unit passes through the window pad 113 from top to bottom. The upper end of the nozzle unit is connected to the outlet of the water inlet pipe 810 via the connecting pipe 871, so as to spray the water in the water inlet pipe 810 into the cylinder module 100 from top to bottom.

[0083] In this embodiment, the pressurized water channel 840 includes a first water channel 841 and a second water channel 842, which are independently configured. Preferably, both the first water channel 841 and the second water channel 842 are arranged in a serpentine pattern. This increases the length of both water channels 841 and 842 and extends their paths, allowing the detergent additive to be more thoroughly diluted by water during its flow.

[0084] In this embodiment, the first water inlet pipe 811 is divided into two sections. The inlet end of the first section of the first water inlet pipe 811 is connected to the water distribution unit 820, the outlet end of the first section of the first water inlet pipe 811 is connected to the first water passage 841, the inlet end of the second section of the first water inlet pipe 811 is connected to the first water passage 841, and the outlet end of the second section of the first water inlet pipe 811 is connected to the cylinder module 100. By connecting the first water inlet passage and the first water passage 841 separately, the purpose of supplying water only to the cylinder module 100 can be achieved. The incoming water source enters the first water passage 841 through the first section of the first water inlet pipe 811, then enters the second section of the first water inlet pipe 811, and finally enters the cylinder module 100.

[0085] In this embodiment, the second water inlet pipe 812 is divided into two sections. The inlet end of the first section of the second water inlet pipe 812 is connected to the water distribution unit 820, the outlet end of the first section of the second water inlet pipe 812 is connected to the second water channel 842, the inlet end of the second section of the second water inlet pipe 812 is connected to the second water channel 842, and the outlet end of the second section of the second water inlet pipe 812 is connected to the cylinder module 100. Each dispensing chamber of the dispensing box 833 is connected to the second water channel 842. When the detergent additive in the dispensing chamber enters the second water channel 842, the water source enters the second water channel 842 through the first section of the second water inlet pipe 812. In the second water channel 842, the water and detergent additive are mixed, and then the mixture of water and detergent additive enters the second section of the second water inlet pipe 812, and finally enters the cylinder module 100.

[0086] In this embodiment, to improve the mixing effect of the detergent additive, a stirring mechanism can be installed in the second water channel 842 to stir the mixture of water and detergent additive, achieving the best mixing effect. The stirring mechanism can be a stirring wheel. When water flows into the second water channel 842, the stirring wheel is driven to rotate under the action of the water flow, thereby achieving the mixing effect.

[0087] In this embodiment, both the outlet of the first water inlet pipe 811 and the outlet of the second water inlet pipe 812 are equipped with a spray unit 870, which is used to spray the water source in the water inlet pipe 810 from top to bottom.

[0088] In this embodiment, the spray unit 870 includes a nozzle 872 and a connecting pipe 871. One end of the connecting pipe 871 is connected to the outlet of the water inlet pipe 810, and the other end is connected to the nozzle 872. The nozzle 872 is used to spray water from top to bottom. The connecting pipe 871 extends from bottom to top for a certain length, and then extends from top to bottom for a certain length, forming an arc shape. Through the connecting pipe 871, the direction of water flow can be adjusted. Under the action of the connecting pipe 871, the water flow from bottom to top is changed to water flow from top to bottom, with the water flow direction towards the inside of the cylindrical module 100. In this embodiment, the bottom-up and top-down directions can be vertical or inclined.

[0089] In this embodiment, the inlet of nozzle 872 is located at the upper part, and the outlet of nozzle 872 is located at the lower part.

[0090] In this embodiment, the detergent additive can be pumped from the dispensing chamber into the second water channel 842. Specifically, a pump is installed on the first or second liquid guide pipe. After the dispensing box 833 is pushed into the box body 831, the first and second liquid guide pipes are connected. The pump draws the detergent additive from the dispensing chamber into the second channel. When there are multiple dispensing chambers, multiple first and second liquid guide pipes can be installed, and a pump can be installed on each first or second liquid guide pipe to achieve communication between each dispensing chamber and the second water channel 842.

[0091] In this embodiment, the detergent additive can also enter the second water passage 842 from the dispensing chamber via negative pressure. Specifically, it can be any existing structure that uses negative pressure to extract the detergent additive; for example, a venturi tube, which is a straight pipe divided into a constricted section, a straight section, and a flared section from the inlet to the outlet; the straight section has a detergent additive inlet that communicates with the outside, so that the water flowing through the venturi tube forms a negative pressure at the additive inlet, thereby achieving the effect of extracting the detergent additive.

[0092] In this embodiment, the dispensing device 830 is located at the bottom of the frame structure. The first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812 extend horizontally from the outlet of the water distribution unit 820 to the dispensing device 830, respectively connecting to the first water path 841 and the second water path 842. The first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812 extend upwards from the outlets of the first water path 841 and the second water path 842 until they reach the top of the frame structure, where they extend horizontally and connect to the cylindrical module 100. During their extension, the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812 can be fixed by the frame structure.

[0093] In this embodiment, the frame structure of the garment processing equipment has a base at its bottom, and the base has an installation space for accommodating the dispensing device 830. The installation space is located below the cylinder module 100. The water distribution unit 820 is mounted on the base, or mounted on the base via a support member. The dispensing device 830 is slidably assembled on the base and then fixed to the base by fasteners.

[0094] In this embodiment, the frame structure is surrounded by a shell, which is the outermost casing of the drum washing machine. The shell is generally composed of steel plates or resin molded parts. The shell includes a front panel, a rear panel, a left side panel, and a right side panel. The shell is used to hide and protect the drum module 100 and other functional modules.

[0095] In this embodiment, an opening is provided on the front panel for the dispensing box 833 to be pulled out. When the dispensing box 833 is fully pushed in, the surface of the dispensing box 833 is flush with the surface of the front panel.

[0096] In this embodiment, the connection points between the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812 and the cylindrical module 100 are located on the upper part of the annular window pad 113, so as to hide the connection points between the first water inlet pipe 811, the second water inlet pipe 812 and the annular window pad 113 respectively.

[0097] In this embodiment, the connection points between the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812 and the cylindrical module 100 are located on the upper part of the annular window pad 113, so that the connection points between the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812 and the cylindrical module 100 are both higher than the highest water level of the cylindrical module 100, in order to prevent water in the cylindrical module 100 from flowing back into the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812.

[0098] In this embodiment of the utility model, since the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812 need to be pressurized for water intake, after the clothing processing equipment stops receiving water, the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812 and the drum module 100 are relatively independently sealed, so they are not connected and cannot form a pressure difference, resulting in residual water in the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812. When the user opens the door of the clothing processing equipment, the drum is connected to the outside atmosphere, and the pressure in the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812 is released, causing the residual water to flow downwards. The residual water flowing out of the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812 after the door is opened will affect the user's loading and unloading of clothes, and may also cause the residual water to flow out of the clothing loading port of the opened door to the outside of the clothing processing equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to connect the ventilation structure to the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812, so that the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812 are respectively connected to the external atmosphere or the outer cylinder of the cylinder module 100, so as to avoid the occurrence of water residue in the first water inlet pipe 811 and the second water inlet pipe 812.

[0099] In this embodiment, in order to effectively reduce the number of components, different water inlet pipes 810 share the same ventilation structure and are connected to the external atmosphere and / or the cylinder module 100 of the clothing processing equipment. This reduces the number of components in the clothing processing equipment while effectively preventing water residue in the water inlet pipes 810, thereby simplifying the equipment and reducing costs.

[0100] Specifically, the garment processing equipment is equipped with a ventilation component 850, which includes: a housing with a hollow interior, the hollow space of which is divided into at least two ventilation chambers, each ventilation chamber being connected to a different water inlet pipe 810 so that water from the different water inlet pipes 810 flows through the corresponding ventilation chamber; each ventilation chamber is provided with a ventilation hole, and each ventilation hole is connected to the same ventilation pipe 860; the ventilation pipe 860 is connected to the outer cylinder of the cylinder module 100 and / or the outside atmosphere, so that the different water inlet pipes 810 are respectively connected to the cylinder module 100 of the garment processing equipment and / or the outside atmosphere.

[0101] Through the above-described configuration, the different water inlet pipes 810 of the garment processing equipment are connected to the cylinder module 100 and / or the outside atmosphere via the same ventilation element 850, thereby achieving the effect of sharing a ventilation structure among the different water inlet pipes 810. This results in a significant technological advancement by reducing the number of components in the garment processing equipment. Furthermore, this configuration ensures that all water entering through the different water inlet pipes 810 can be discharged into the cylinder module 100 via the ventilation structure, effectively preventing water residue in the water inlet pipes 810.

[0102] In this embodiment, each ventilation chamber of the ventilation component 850 is provided with an inlet and an outlet, which are used for the water flow of the corresponding water inlet pipe 810 to flow through the ventilation chamber; the ventilation hole and the inlet and outlet are respectively located on different sides of the ventilation chamber, so that the water flow can flow smoothly through the ventilation chamber without filling the ventilation chamber; of course, in order to effectively reduce the water flow from the ventilation hole, the size of the ventilation chamber can be set to be much larger than the size of the ventilation hole, so as to further prevent the water flow from the ventilation hole.

[0103] To avoid blockage when the incoming water flows through the ventilation chamber, the horizontal radial dimension of the ventilation chamber can be larger than the diameter of the first inlet pipe 811 and the second inlet pipe 812, and also larger than the radial dimensions of the inlet and outlet. This ensures that the water flowing through the first inlet pipe 811 and the second inlet pipe 812 can only occupy part of the space in the ventilation chamber, effectively reducing the occurrence of water flowing out of the ventilation holes.

[0104] In this embodiment, the ventilation component 850 is installed inside the housing of the garment processing equipment. The outer periphery of the housing of the ventilation component 850 is provided with an installation part and a fixing part to achieve the effect of installing the ventilation component 850 on the front side panel of the outer shell of the garment processing equipment. It can be configured as follows: the installation part fixes the ventilation component 850 with screws, and the fixing part inserts and positions the ventilation component 850. The above-mentioned installation part and fixing part can be provided on different sides of the housing of the ventilation component 850 to improve the installation stability between the ventilation component 850 and the housing of the garment processing equipment.

[0105] For clothing processing equipment with drying function, it includes an air inlet module 200 and an air outlet module 300. Specifically, it includes a fan, an air inlet duct, and a heating device. The heating device is installed inside the air inlet duct, and the fan is located at the end of the air inlet duct. The heating device heats the airflow generated by the fan to form a hot airflow. The air inlet duct is connected to the drum module 100, so the generated continuous hot airflow can continuously enter the drum module 100 to dry the clothes. The drum module 100 is connected to the exhaust duct 310. During the drying process, the air inlet duct and the exhaust duct 310 achieve air circulation. During the drying process, the moisture on the clothes is heated and evaporated into steam, which is discharged through the exhaust duct 310.

[0106] During the drying process, the moisture on the clothes evaporates into steam due to the heat. The steam is at a high temperature and is directly discharged through the exhaust duct 310. At the same time, during the steam discharge process, lint may also be mixed in with the steam.

[0107] In this embodiment, in order to solve the problems of direct discharge of high-temperature steam and the possibility of wire debris being discharged along with the steam, water is sprayed into the exhaust duct 310. The high-temperature steam condenses and cools down when it comes into contact with the water. At the same time, due to the presence of the sprayed water, the wire debris will come into contact with the water and adhere to the water droplets, thus remaining in the exhaust duct 310 and no longer being discharged, thereby improving the user experience.

[0108] In this embodiment, specifically, the water inlet pipe 810 further includes a third pipe for supplying water into the exhaust duct 310. One end of the third pipe is connected to the water distribution unit 820, and the other end is connected to the exhaust duct 310. The water source is distributed to the third pipe through the water distribution unit 820, and the third pipe delivers the water into the exhaust duct 310.

[0109] In this embodiment, the third water inlet pipe 813 is located on one side of the cylindrical module 100. The third water inlet pipe 813 extends from the water distribution unit 820 from bottom to top for a certain length, and then extends horizontally for a certain length so that the water source in the third water inlet pipe 813 enters the exhaust duct 310 horizontally.

[0110] In this embodiment, in order to improve the condensation effect of water in the exhaust duct 310, the end of the third pipe is provided with a water inlet connector 316, so that the water is sprayed in the exhaust duct 310, increasing the coverage area in the exhaust duct 310, so that the water can fully contact the high temperature steam, thereby improving the condensation effect and the lint removal effect.

[0111] In this embodiment, the water inlet connector 316 is preferably an umbrella-shaped spray head, whose water spray pattern spreads out in an umbrella shape. The umbrella-shaped spray head can cover a larger area, improving spray efficiency. Due to its special spray pattern, the umbrella-shaped spray head ensures uniform water distribution within the spray range, avoiding localized over-wetting or over-drying. In this embodiment, the use of an umbrella-shaped spray head results in better condensation and lint removal.

[0112] In this embodiment, after the third pipeline is led out from the outlet end of the water distribution unit 820, it first extends horizontally for a certain distance. During the extension process, it can be fixed by a frame structure or a base. Then, the third pipeline extends upward and connects with the exhaust duct 310. The connection point between the third pipeline and the exhaust duct 310 is close to the air inlet end of the exhaust duct 310.

[0113] In this embodiment, the water distribution unit 820 can control the first pipeline, the second pipeline and the third pipeline to be connected individually or simultaneously, thereby achieving different water intake purposes according to needs, namely, water intake to the drum module 100 for washing, water intake to the drum module 100 for washing with detergent additives, and water intake to the exhaust duct 310 for condensation.

Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model.
