Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of clothing processing devices, and in particular to a lifting rib for a clothing processing device and a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Most garment handling devices on the market currently use fixed, non-movable drum lifting ribs, which have limited lifting effect on clothes during drying or washing. If the clothes are not fully lifted and tumbled, a good drying or washing effect cannot be achieved.

[0003] Existing patent document CN211872337U discloses a lifting rib structure for a washing machine, including a mounting base and a telescopic rib. The telescopic rib can maintain at least two telescopic states, and in the first telescopic state, the height of the telescopic rib is lower than in the second telescopic state, thus meeting the practical needs of adapting to different types of clothing. During drum rotation, the telescopic rib is easily subjected to lateral pressure from the clothing, which can cause the telescopic function to jam or even completely stop; furthermore, the gap between the telescopic rib and the mounting base easily accumulates hair and lint, making it difficult to clean. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a lifting rib for a clothing handling device and a clothing handling device, which has the advantages of not being unable to change the height of the lifting rib due to the compression of clothing, not easily accumulating lint and hair, and being easy to clean.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A lifting rib for a garment handling device includes: a first lifting rib having an mounting end connected to the inner wall of a drum via the mounting end; and a second lifting rib having a rotating end rotatably connected to the first lifting rib via the rotating end, thereby achieving folding to change the height of the entire lifting rib in the radial direction of the drum.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, since the first and second lifting ribs change the height of the entire lifting rib in the radial direction of the roller by flipping, the lifting rib height will not be unable to be changed due to the squeezing of the clothes, thus effectively lifting the clothes; in addition, since the first and second lifting ribs are folded, it is easy to clean the hair and lint stuck between them, and it will not cause the accumulation of lint and hair.

[0008] Optionally, the end of the first lifting rib furthest from the installation end is formed into an arc surface; the rotating end and the end furthest from the rotating end of the second lifting rib are both formed into arc surfaces.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, since the rotating end of the second lifting rib and the end of the first lifting rib away from the installation end are both formed into arc surfaces, when the first and second lifting ribs are in the folded state, they will not cause damage to the clothing due to sharp corners; since the end of the second lifting rib away from the rotating end is also formed into an arc surface, when the first and second lifting ribs are in the unfolded state, they will not cause damage to the clothing due to sharp corners.

[0010] Optionally, the first lifting rib has a first lifting surface and a second lifting surface; the distance between the first lifting surface and the second lifting surface gradually decreases along the direction away from the mounting end.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance between the first lifting surface and the second lifting surface gradually decreases along the direction away from the mounting end. In this way, while lifting the clothes, excessive friction of the lifting ribs on the clothes is avoided, which would affect the service life of the clothes.

[0012] Optionally, the cross-section of the second lifting rib perpendicular to its axis of rotation is an isosceles triangle with the apex away from the rotating end.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the cross-section of the second lifting rib perpendicular to its axis of rotation is an isosceles triangle with the apex far away from the rotating end of the second lifting rib. In this way, when the second lifting rib is in action, it can lift the clothes while avoiding excessive friction between the lifting rib and the clothes, thus avoiding affecting the service life of the clothes.

[0014] Optionally, a storage groove for receiving the second lifting rib is provided on one side of the first lifting rib; when the first lifting rib and the second lifting rib are in a folded state, the side wall of the second lifting rib away from the storage groove is on the same plane as the side wall of the first lifting rib where the storage groove is located.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first lifting rib and the second lifting rib are in a folded state, the second lifting rib is completely stored in the storage groove of the first lifting rib, and the clothes will not be accidentally stuck between the first lifting rib and the second lifting rib, thus avoiding affecting the lifting process of the clothes.

[0016] Optionally, the rotating end of the second lifting rib is provided with a rotating shaft; the rotating shaft moves along its own axial direction at the rotating end of the second lifting rib; a rotating hole for the rotating shaft to rotate is formed on the first lifting rib; the rotating hole is axially extended through both ends; axial sliding strips are provided on the circumferential surfaces of both ends of the rotating shaft; two circumferentially distributed limiting slots are formed on the circumferential surface of the rotating hole; the axial sliding strip is axially inserted into one of the limiting slots; the limiting slot is axially extended through both ends; the two limiting slots correspond to the folded state and the unfolded state, respectively.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the axial sliding strip and the two limiting slots can keep the first lifting rib and the second lifting rib in the folded state and the unfolded state respectively, which can achieve appropriate lifting for different garments, thereby improving the lifting effect.

[0018] Optionally, a sliding guide bar parallel to its axial direction is formed on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft; a central hole that mates with the rotating shaft is formed at the rotating end of the second lifting rib; and a sliding guide groove that mates with the sliding guide bar is formed on the circumferential surface of the central hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the cooperation between the sliding guide bar and the sliding guide groove, the rotating shaft can move along its axial direction and the rotation of the rotating shaft can mobilize the second lifting rib to rotate together, thereby realizing the relative rotation of the second lifting rib and the first lifting rib, which facilitates the switching of the axial sliding bar in the two limit slots, thereby realizing the switching between the folded state and the unfolded state of the second lifting rib and the first lifting rib.

[0020] Optionally, a stop ring is formed on the circumferential surface of one end of the rotating shaft; and an end guide groove is formed at one end of the central hole to allow the stop ring to slide axially.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of the stop ring limits the relative axial position of the rotating shaft and the second lifting rib.

[0022] Optionally, a compression spring is fitted at one end of the rotating shaft; one end of the compression spring abuts against the stop ring, and the other end abuts against the second lifting rib.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of the compression spring can drive the rotating shaft to move along its axial direction, thereby enabling the axial sliding bar to be quickly inserted back into the limiting slot, preventing the axial sliding bar from accidentally dislodging from the limiting slot, and keeping the folded or unfolded state of the second lifting rib and the first lifting rib more stable.

[0024] Optionally, pull handles are provided at both ends of the axial direction of the rotating shaft.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of the pull shaft gripper facilitates the driving of the rotating shaft to move along its own axis, thereby improving operational convenience.

[0026] A garment handling device includes a roller, on the inner sidewall of which the aforementioned lifting ribs are mounted.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the height of the entire lifting rib can be effectively varied, thereby improving the lifting effect. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-8 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0043] Example 1: A garment processing device, including a roller assembly; Reference Figure 1The roller assembly includes a roller 10 and a plurality of lifting ribs 20 connected to the inner sidewall of the roller 10; Reference Figure 2 The length direction of the lifting rib 20 is the same as the axial direction of the drum 10; Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The lifting rib 20 includes a first lifting rib 30 and a second lifting rib 40. The first lifting rib 30 has a mounting end 31, which is connected to the inner wall of the roller 10. The first lifting rib 30 has a first lifting surface 32 and a second lifting surface 33 arranged along the circumference of the roller 10. The second lifting rib 40 has a rotating end 41, which has a third lifting surface 42 and a fourth lifting surface 43 arranged along the circumference of the roller 10. A connecting component 50 is provided on the rotating end 41. The connecting component 50 includes a rotating shaft 51. The second lifting rib 40 is rotatably connected to the end of the first lifting rib 30 away from the mounting end 31 via the rotating shaft 51. In this way, when it is necessary to clean the hair and lint trapped between the first lifting rib 30 and the second lifting rib 40, it is only necessary to rotate the second lifting rib 40 to expose the hair and lint trapped between them, which is convenient for cleaning and will not cause the accumulation of lint and hair.

[0044] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 To achieve garment lifting while avoiding excessive friction between the lifting ribs 20 and the garment, thus extending its lifespan, the distance between the first lifting surface 32 and the second lifting surface 33 gradually decreases in the direction away from the mounting end 31. The cross-section of the second lifting rib 40 perpendicular to the rotating shaft 51 is an isosceles triangle with its apex away from the rotating end 41. To ensure complete overlap between the second lifting rib 40 and the first lifting rib 30, preventing them from trapping the garment, a storage groove 300 is formed on the first lifting surface 32. When the second lifting rib 40 is fully inserted into the first lifting surface 32, the first lifting surface 32 and the fourth lifting surface 43 are on the same plane.

[0045] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 To avoid damage to clothing caused by sharp edges, the end of the first lifting rib 30 away from the installation end 31 is formed into an arc surface; the rotating end 41 and the end away from the rotating end 41 of the second lifting rib 40 are both formed into arc surfaces.

[0046] refer to Figures 4-8The rotating end 41 has a central hole 400 that mates with the rotating shaft 51; the rotating shaft 51 is positioned such that the second lifting rib 40 moves along the axis of the rotating shaft 51; a sliding guide bar 511 parallel to its axis is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 51; a sliding guide groove 401 mates with the sliding guide bar 511 is formed on the circumferential surface of the central hole 400; both ends of the central hole 400 and the sliding guide groove 401 are open; thus, the rotating shaft 51 can move along its axis and the rotating shaft 51 and the second lifting rib 40 rotate together about the axis of the rotating shaft 51 as the central axis; two coaxial rotating holes 301 mate with the rotating shaft 51 are formed on the two side walls of the receiving groove 300.

[0047] In order to ensure that the first lifting rib 30 and the second lifting rib 40 are kept in the following position Figure 2 The folding state shown and as Figure 3 The unfolded state shown is for reference. Figures 4-8 Axial sliding strips 513 are respectively formed on the circumferential surfaces at both ends of the rotating shaft 51; two circumferentially distributed limiting slots 302 are formed on the circumferential surface of the rotating hole 301; when the axial sliding strip 513 is located in one of the limiting slots 302, the first lifting rib 30 and the second lifting rib 40 are held in a certain position. Figure 2 In the folded state shown, when the axial sliding bar 513 is located within another limiting slot 302, the first lifting rib 30 and the second lifting rib 40 are held as follows: Figure 2 The unfolded state shown.

[0048] To reduce the number of processing steps, the sliding guide 511 and the two axial sliding bars 513 are in the same direction, and one of the axial sliding bars 513 and the sliding guide 511 are the same guide bar.

[0049] Working principle of Example 1: The initial state is the folded state. When you want to switch from the folded state to the unfolded state, the axially moving shaft 51 causes the two axial sliding bars 513 to simultaneously disengage from the limiting slots 302 on both sides in the same direction. Then, the shaft 51 is rotated so that the second lifting rib 40 rotates together until the axial sliding bar 513 is facing the other limiting slot 302. Then, the axially moving shaft 51 causes the two axial sliding bars 513 to simultaneously insert into the limiting slots 302 on both sides in the same direction. This completes the switch from the folded state to the unfolded state.

[0050] Example 2: The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is as follows: (Refer to...) Figures 4-8In order to limit the axial displacement of the rotating shaft 51 relative to the second lifting rib 40, a coaxially arranged annular stop ring 512 is formed on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 51; the stop ring 512 is connected to one end of the sliding guide bar 511, and one end of the central hole 400 is formed with an end guide groove 402 that cooperates with the stop ring 512. The sliding guide groove 401 for the sliding guide bar 511 to slide is located in the cylinder on the circumferential surface of the end guide groove 402.

[0051] Based on this, a compression spring 52 can be sleeved on the end of the rotating shaft 51 where the stop ring 512 is located. One end of the compression spring 52 abuts against the stop ring 512 and the other end abuts against the side wall of the receiving groove 300. Under the action of the compression spring 52, the two axial sliding bars 513 are respectively kept in the two limiting slots 302 in the same direction, and the stop ring 512 abuts against the bottom of the end guide groove 402, so as to prevent the axial sliding bars 513 from accidentally disengaging from the limiting slots 302, and the folded or unfolded state of the first lifting rib 30 and the second lifting rib 40 remains more stable. Additionally, when switching between folded and unfolded states, pulling out the pivot 51 and rotating it to bring the axial sliding bar 513 close to another limiting slot 302, releasing the pivot 51 will allow the axial sliding bar 513 to move towards the limiting slot 302. Even if the axial sliding bar 513 cannot directly enter the limiting slot 302, the second lifting rib 40 can be slightly rotated to allow the axial sliding bar 513 to enter the limiting slot 302. In this way, the presence of the compression spring 52 can drive the pivot 51 to move along its axial direction, thereby enabling the axial sliding bar 513 to be quickly inserted back into the limiting slot 302.

[0052] Example 3: The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is as follows: (Refer to...) Figures 4-8 To facilitate manual operation of the rotating shaft 51, pull handles 53 are provided at both ends of the axial direction of the rotating shaft 51. (Reference) Figure 5 The pull shaft gripper 53 includes a connecting plate 532, a connecting screw 531, a connecting block 533, and a pull ring 534. The connecting screw 531 and the connecting block 533 are respectively formed at both ends of the connecting plate 532. The pull ring 534 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 533. The two end faces of the rotating shaft 51 along the axial direction are respectively formed with axially arranged connecting threaded holes 510 for the connecting screw 531 to mate with. In this way, the pull ring 534 can more easily apply axial tension to the rotating shaft 51. In other embodiments, the pull ring 534 and the connecting block 533 may be omitted, which can reduce the impact on clothing and reduce the possibility of clothing tangling. Based on this, the end of the connecting plate 532 away from the connecting screw 531 is formed into a hemispherical shape.

[0053] Example 4: The difference between Example 4 and Example 1 is that the axial sliding strip 513 can be omitted, but torsion springs need to be fitted at both ends of the rotating shaft 51. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the second lifting rib 40, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 300. The pair of torsion springs provide the torque for the second lifting rib 40 to unfold relative to the first lifting rib 30. In this way, the second lifting rib 40 does not have a fixed unfolded position or folded position. If the second lifting rib 40 is not under pressure, then the second lifting rib 40 is in a fully unfolded state, and the second lifting rib 40 and the first lifting rib 30 are on the same radial direction of the roller 10. Of course, the stop ring 512 and the sliding guide strip 511 can also be omitted. The rotating shaft 51 and the second lifting rib 40 can be fixedly connected, or the rotating shaft 51 and the second lifting rib 40 can be integrated into a single component. This reduces the number of parts and facilitates assembly.

[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
