Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a multi-functional partitioned washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, the demand for washing machines, especially small mini washing machines, is becoming more and more diversified. In order to solve the problem that current washing machines only have one washing tub and cannot separate underwear, socks, etc. for washing at the same time, the existing technology (Chinese invention application patent with publication number CN117211036A) discloses a three-tub washing machine with storage compartments.

[0003] While washing machines can separate different types of clothing for washing, their functionality still cannot meet the needs of current consumers, especially families with children, sports enthusiasts, or users in humid areas. These users not only need to wash clothes frequently but also clean shoes frequently. After each shoe washing, a considerable amount of time is required for the shoes to air dry or sun dry. Air drying relies on natural ventilation and humidity, and in humid areas or during the rainy season, it may take several days or even a week to dry completely, which can easily lead to mold growth and odors. Sun drying relies on sunlight to accelerate drying, but it is limited by weather conditions (it cannot be done in rainy or smoggy weather), and some shoe materials (such as leather and thick athletic shoes) are difficult to dry thoroughly inside, still requiring a long time. Therefore, current washing machines can only solve the problem of washing different types of clothing separately and do not have a shoe processing function. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a multi-functional partition washing machine to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a multi-functional partition washing machine, including a housing, a clothes washing section and two liquid filling sections connected inside the housing, a control panel connected inside the housing, and two drain outlets and a water inlet located on one side of the housing and connected to the clothes washing section;

[0006] It also includes a shoe drying unit connected inside the housing, and the shoe drying unit includes a cavity opened inside the housing, a door panel rotatably connected to the opening of the cavity, multiple discs connected to the inner wall of the cavity, two brackets fixed to one side of the discs, an exhaust port opened on one side of the housing, an opening opened on the inner wall of the cavity and connected to the exhaust port, an air inlet opened on one side of the housing, a heating unit fixed inside the housing, an air outlet pipe with one end connected to the output end of the heating unit and the other end extending into the cavity, and a drain outlet one opened on the bottom wall of the cavity and connected to drain outlet two, and the input end of the heating unit is connected to the air inlet.

[0007] In one embodiment, multiple discs are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity, and a rotary joint is fixed inside the housing. Multiple air vents are provided on the outer surface of the support, and flow channels communicating with the air vents are provided inside the support and the discs. The inner tube of the rotary joint is inserted into the flow channel inside the disc.

[0008] In one embodiment, the housing is further connected to a spinner, which includes a hollow ring fixed to one side of the disc body, a gear fixed to one side of the hollow ring, a slide bar slidably connected inside the housing, an external toothed key opened on one side of the slide bar and meshing with the gear, a movable groove opened inside the slide bar, an internal toothed key opened on the inner wall of the movable groove, an incomplete gear rotatably connected inside the housing and located inside the movable groove, and a motor fixed inside the housing, wherein the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the incomplete gear, and the incomplete gear meshes with the internal toothed key.

[0009] In one embodiment, the housing is further connected to an underwear washing section and a sock washing section, both of which are connected to a drain outlet. One of the liquid filling sections is connected to the clothing washing section, and the other liquid filling section is connected to both the underwear washing section and the sock washing section.

[0010] In one embodiment, the water inlet is connected to the underwear washing section and the sock washing section, and the control panel is linearly connected to the clothing washing section, the underwear washing section, and the sock washing section.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0012] This application features a shoe drying section. When the support is inserted into the shoe through the shoe opening, the shoe is inverted, and water inside the shoe (especially in the toe and sole layers) flows out more easily due to gravity. The heating section pressurizes and heats the outside air, which is then sent into the cavity through the air outlet duct. The hot air is discharged from the air outlet duct under the shoe and flows upward, in the same direction as the natural rising of hot air. It enters the exhaust port through the opening and then exits, forming a convection circulation that evenly penetrates the creases and gaps in the shoe, giving the washing machine a shoe drying function, shortening the drying time, and ensuring that the drying of the shoes is not affected by the external environment.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0022] Example:

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This application provides a technical solution: a multi-functional partition washing machine, including a housing 1, a clothes washing section 4 connected inside the housing 1 and two liquid filling sections 3, a control panel 2 connected inside the housing 1, and a drain outlet 2 8 and a water inlet 13 opened on one side of the housing 1 and connected to the clothes washing section 4.

[0024] It also includes a shoe drying unit 7 connected inside the housing 1, and the shoe drying unit 7 includes a cavity 71 opened inside the housing 1, a door panel 72 rotatably connected to the opening 73 of the cavity 71, a plurality of discs 74 connected to the inner wall of the cavity 71, two brackets 75 fixed to one side of the discs 74, an exhaust port 12 opened on one side of the housing 1, an opening 73 opened on the inner wall of the cavity 71 and connected to the exhaust port 12, an air inlet 11 opened on one side of the housing 1, a heating unit 78 fixed inside the housing 1, an air outlet duct 76 with one end connected to the output end of the heating unit 78 and the other end extending into the cavity 71, and a drain port 77 opened on the bottom wall of the cavity 71 and connected to the drain port 8, and the input end of the heating unit 78 is connected to the air inlet 11.

[0025] The housing 1 is also connected to an underwear washing unit 5 and a sock washing unit 6, and both the underwear washing unit 5 and the sock washing unit 6 are connected to a drain outlet 8. One of the liquid filling units 3 is connected to the clothing washing unit 4, and the other liquid filling unit 3 is connected to both the underwear washing unit 5 and the sock washing unit 6.

[0026] The water inlet 13 is connected to the underwear washing section 5 and the sock washing section 6, and the control panel 2 is linearly connected to the clothes washing section 4, the underwear washing section 5, and the sock washing section 6.

[0027] By adopting the above scheme, the control panel 2 is a control circuit board used to control the operation and parameter settings of the clothing washing section 4, underwear washing section 5, and sock washing section 6 (each of the three washing sections consists of a washing chamber independently opened in the housing 1, a drum rotatably connected in the washing chamber, and a drive assembly for driving the drum to rotate, etc., which are conventional components of a washing machine and will not be described in detail here). This is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The water inlet 13 and the drain outlet 8 are both connected to a pipe. Both pipes are located inside the housing 1, and the other end of both pipes is connected to a multi-way valve. The four valve ports of one of the multi-way valves are connected to the clothing washing section 4 through the pipe. The inlet of the lingerie washing section 5 and the sock washing section 6 is connected. Three valve ports of another multi-way valve are connected via pipes to the drain of the clothes washing section 4, lingerie washing section 5, sock washing section 6, and drain outlet 77. One of the liquid dispensing sections 3 is directly connected to the clothes washing section 4, through which laundry detergent is added. Liquid dispensing section 3 is a pull-out detergent dispenser, connected to the washing chamber via a dispensing channel. This is a standard design in existing washing machines and will not be elaborated further. The other liquid dispensing section 3 is also a detergent dispenser, but it has two independent storage chambers and two dispensing channels. The two dispensing channels are connected to the lingerie washing section 6 and the clothes washing section 77 respectively. The washing section 5 and the sock washing section 6 are connected. Laundry detergent is added to both sections by adding laundry detergent into two separate liquid storage chambers. The shoe drying method is as follows: the door panel 72 is opened, the shoes are inverted, and the support 75 is inserted into the shoe opening to support the shoes. At this inverted state, water accumulated inside the shoes (especially in the toe and sole layers) is more easily drained due to gravity. Water dripping from the shoes flows into drain outlet 1 77 and is discharged from drain outlet 2 8. The heating section 78 (in this application, an air compressor is used to compress the gas; an electric heating element is also installed at the air compressor outlet to heat the gas) belongs to... (Based on mature existing technology, which will not be elaborated here) External air is drawn in through the air inlet 11, pressurized and heated, and then input into the air outlet 76. Hot air enters the cavity 71 from the air outlet 76 and is discharged from the air outlet 76 under the shoe, flowing upward in the same direction as the natural rising of hot air. It enters the exhaust port 12 through the opening 73 and is then discharged from the exhaust port 12 (a fan can be installed in the exhaust port 12 to accelerate the air flow rate in the cavity 71). This can form a convection circulation, evenly penetrating the creases and gaps in the shoe, giving the washing machine a shoe drying function, shortening the drying time of the shoes, and ensuring that the drying of the shoes is not affected by the external environment.

[0028] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5Multiple discs 74 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of cavity 71, and a rotary joint 10 is fixed inside the housing 1. Multiple air vents 751 are opened on the outer surface of the support 75, and flow channels communicating with the air vents 751 are opened inside the support 75 and the discs 74. The inner tube of the rotary joint 10 is inserted into the flow channel inside the disc 74.

[0029] By setting up the above scheme, the input end of the rotary joint 10 is connected to an external air pipe, which is connected to an air pump. The air pump pumps gas into the rotary joint 10, and the gas enters the air outlet 751 from the flow channel and is discharged from the air outlet 751, which can blow air into the inside of the shoe, which helps to blow the moisture inside the shoe out and shorten the drying time of the shoe.

[0030] Please see Figures 4-6 The housing 1 is also connected to a spinner 9, which includes a hollow ring 92 fixed to one side of the disc 74, a gear 93 fixed to one side of the hollow ring 92, a slide bar 94 slidably connected inside the housing 1, an external tooth key 95 opened on one side of the slide bar 94 and meshing with the gear 93, a movable groove 96 opened inside the slide bar 94, an internal tooth key 97 opened on the inner wall of the movable groove 96, an incomplete gear 98 rotatably connected inside the housing 1 and located inside the movable groove 96, and a motor 91 fixed inside the housing 1, with the output shaft of the motor 91 fixedly connected to the incomplete gear 98, and the incomplete gear 98 meshing with the internal tooth key 97.

[0031] By setting up the above scheme, during the shoe drying process, the motor 91 can drive the incomplete gear 98 to rotate. The rotation of the incomplete gear 98 contacts the internal gear key 97 and drives the slider 94 to reciprocate left and right. The reciprocating motion of the slider 94 can drive the gear 93, the hollow ring body 92 and the disc body 74 to rotate through the external gear key 95. The counterclockwise and clockwise rotation of the disc body 74 can drive the shoes to rotate, thereby applying a centrifugal force to the shoes, so that the moisture inside the shoes can be quickly discharged and the drying time of the shoes can be shortened.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this application.
