TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of washing and drying integrated machines, and particularly relates to a washing and drying integrated machine capable of preventing clothes from being entangled. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the existing technical field of washing and drying integrated machines, washing and drying integrated machines, as a kind of household appliances integrating washing and drying functions, have gradually become common devices in modern families due to their convenience and space-saving advantages. However, the washing and drying integrated machines on the current market still have significant technical defects in the drying function, especially in the drying effect and clothes protection when a large amount of clothes is processed.
[0003] Specifically, the existing washing and drying integrated machines generally adopt a drum type design. When a user performs a drying operation, the user often needs to put all the clothes to be dried into the drum at one time. Although this design conforms to the user's usage habits, it causes a series of problems in the actual drying process. Among them, the most prominent problem is the entanglement of clothes. Due to the rotation of the drum, the clothes will be constantly tumbled and rubbed under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, and combined with the differences in material, shape and size of the clothes, the clothes are extremely easy to be entangled. The entanglement of clothes not only affects the drying efficiency, so that part of the clothes cannot be fully contacted with hot air, resulting in uneven drying, but also can cause damage to the clothes, such as stretching, deformation and even tearing, which seriously affects the service life and wearing effect of the clothes. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0004] The purpose of the embodiment of the present application is to provide a washing and drying integrated machine capable of preventing clothes from being entangled. By dividing the inside of the drum into multiple areas and adjusting the size of the placement space according to the different amounts of clothes, the purpose of reasonably placing clothes and effectively drying is achieved, and the problem of entanglement of a large amount of clothes is also avoided.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the following technical solutions are adopted in the present application:
[0006] On the one hand, a washing and drying integrated machine capable of preventing clothes from being entangled is provided, which comprises a drum and a separation assembly arranged on the inner side of the drum. The separation assembly comprises a fixed shaft, multiple separation plates and multiple rotating rings. The separation plates are rotationally connected with the fixed shaft through the rotating rings, and a placement space is formed between adjacent two separation plates. An elastic clamping piece is protruded from one end of the separation plate away from the fixed shaft. The inner wall of the drum is provided with a clamping groove matched with the elastic clamping piece.
[0007] Further, the elastic clamping piece comprises a protrusion protruded on the separation plate and elastic beads arranged on both sides of the protrusion. The clamping groove comprises a groove body slidably matched with the protrusion in a guiding manner and elastic holes arranged on opposite sides of the groove body. The elastic holes are matched with the elastic beads for locking.
[0008] Further, the plurality of rotating rings are arranged along the axial direction of the fixed shaft, and one of the partition plates is connected to two of the rotating rings.
[0009] Further, one end of the fixed shaft is connected to the inner bottom of the drum, and the other end is provided with a limiting plate.
[0010] Further, the partition plate is provided with three, which divides the inner space of the drum into three areas, and each of the partition plates can be moved individually to adjust the size of each area.
[0011] Further, the rotating ring is provided with six, and each of the partition plates is provided with two rotating rings.
[0012] Further, a plurality of through holes are formed in the partition plate.
[0013] Further, the through holes are arranged in an array.
[0014] Further, the inner bottom of the drum is provided with a plurality of air inlet holes.
[0015] Further, the included angle between two adjacent partition plates is between 40° and 150°.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the present application are: the washing and drying machine realizes anti-winding and efficient drying through the partition assembly arranged on the inner side of the drum. The partition assembly is composed of a fixed shaft, a plurality of partition plates and rotating rings. The partition plates are rotatably connected to the fixed shaft through the rotating rings, so that an independent placing space is formed between the adjacent partition plates for placing different quantities or types of clothes. When the clothes are placed, the user can adjust the position of the partition plate according to the actual needs to form a placing area with appropriate size, so as to avoid the clothes from being stacked in a large area in the drum. During the rotating and drying process of the drum, the partition plate rotates synchronously with the drum, and the elastic clamping piece protruding from the end of the partition plate away from the fixed shaft cooperates with the clamping groove preset on the inner wall of the drum. When the partition plate is rotated to the appropriate position, it is clamped into the groove, which not only ensures the stability of the partition plate during drying, but also facilitates the user to adjust the position of the partition plate according to the condition of the clothes. This unique design brings significant benefits. On the one hand, it effectively avoids the winding problem of clothes caused by mutual contact and friction during drying, protects the shape and texture of the clothes, prolongs the service life of the clothes, and significantly improves the drying efficiency, so that the hot air can penetrate the clothes in each placing space more uniformly, reducing the phenomenon of local dampness or over-drying. On the other hand, the flexible adjustability of the partition plate greatly meets the diversified use needs of the user, improves the universality and practicality of the equipment, and the cooperation of the elastic clamping piece and the clamping groove further enhances the stability of the equipment operation, reduces the vibration and noise, and improves the overall performance and reliability of the equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] In order to make the technical problems solved by the application, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects reached more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the application will be further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, not all the embodiments of the application.

[0026] In the present application, unless specifically defined and limited otherwise, "on" or "under" of a first feature with respect to a second feature can include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them.

"Under", "below" and "underneath" of a first feature with respect to a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only indicates that the first feature is lower than the second feature in horizontal height.
[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 The present embodiment provides a kind of anti-winding washing and drying integrated machine, including: drum 1 and the separation component 2 of being arranged in the inner side of drum 1, the separation component 2 includes fixed shaft 201, multiple partition plates 202 and multiple rotating rings 203, the partition plate 202 is rotatably connected with the fixed shaft 201 by the rotating ring 203, and the space 3 of being placed is formed between adjacent two partition plates 202, the end of the partition plate 202 away from the fixed shaft 201 is provided with elastic clamping part 204, the inner wall of the drum 1 is provided with the clamping groove 101 of being matched with the elastic clamping part 204 clamping.
[0028] Based on the above scheme, the partition assembly 2 is composed of a fixed shaft 201, a plurality of partition plates 202, and a plurality of rotating rings 203. The partition plates 202 are rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 201 through the rotating rings 203, which allows the partition plates 202 to freely rotate within a certain range to adapt to the dynamic changes of the drum 1 during rotation. The space between two adjacent partition plates 202 forms a placement space 3 for placing different amounts or types of clothes. When the user needs to put clothes into the drum 1 for drying, the partition plates 202 inside the drum 1 can be adjusted to the appropriate position according to the amount and type of clothes, thereby forming a placement space 3 with appropriate size. Each placement space 3 can independently place a part of clothes, avoiding the clothes from being stacked and entangled in a large area inside the drum 1. During the rotation of the drum 1 for drying, the partition plates 202 will rotate with the drum 1. Since the end of the partition plate 202 away from the fixed shaft 201 is provided with an elastic clamping piece 204, and the inner wall of the drum 1 is provided with a clamping groove 101 that cooperates with the elastic clamping piece 204, when the partition plate 202 is rotated to the appropriate position, the elastic clamping piece 204 will be clamped into the clamping groove 101, thereby fixing the position of the partition plate 202 and preventing it from moving randomly during drying. This design not only ensures the stability of the partition plate 202, but also allows it to easily adjust the position when needed. During the drying process, since the clothes are separated by the partition plates 202 into multiple independent placement spaces 3, the contact area between the clothes is greatly reduced, effectively avoiding the problem of clothes entanglement. At the same time, the hot air can more evenly penetrate the clothes in each placement space 3, improving the drying efficiency.
[0029] In summary, by dividing the drum 1 into multiple areas through the partition assembly 2, the clothes can be reasonably placed, effectively avoiding the problem of clothes entanglement during drying. This not only improves the drying efficiency, but also protects the shape and texture of the clothes, prolonging the service life of the clothes. The partition plate 202 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 201 through the rotating ring 203, and the elastic clamping piece 204 cooperates with the clamping groove 101, allowing the position of the partition plate 202 to be flexibly adjusted according to the amount and type of clothes. This design not only meets the diverse needs of users, but also improves the versatility and practicality of the device. In addition, since the clothes are separated into multiple independent placement spaces 3, the hot air can more evenly penetrate the clothes in each placement space 3, thereby improving the uniformity of drying. This helps to reduce the problem of local dampness or over-drying caused by uneven drying of clothes. Moreover, the cooperation of the elastic clamping piece 204 and the clamping groove 101 ensures the stability of the partition plate 202 during drying. This helps to reduce the vibration and noise of the device during operation, improving the smoothness and reliability of the device.
[0030] Specifically, the elastic clamping piece 204 includes a protrusion 2041 protruding from the partition plate 202 and elastic balls 2042 arranged on both sides of the protrusion 2041, and the clamping groove 101 includes a groove body for guiding and sliding with the protrusion 2041 and elastic holes arranged on opposite sides of the groove body, which cooperate with the elastic balls 2042 to lock. The elastic clamping piece 204 is composed of the protrusion 2041 protruding from the partition plate 202 and the elastic balls 2042 arranged on both sides of the protrusion 2041, and the clamping groove 101 that cooperates with it includes a groove body for guiding and sliding with the protrusion 2041 and elastic holes arranged on opposite sides of the groove body. When the partition plate 202 rotates relative to the drum 1 and is adjusted to the appropriate position, the protrusion 2041 will slide along the groove body, and when the protrusion 2041 slides to a specific position of the groove body, the elastic balls 2042 will be clamped into the elastic holes on both sides of the groove body under the action of elastic force, achieving the locking and fixing of the partition plate 202 and the inner wall of the drum 1. This design enables the partition plate 202 to maintain a stable position during the drying process and prevents it from moving randomly due to the rotation of the drum 1, thereby ensuring that the size and shape of the placement space 3 remain unchanged during the drying process, further improving the anti-winding effect. At the same time, the cooperation and locking mechanism of the elastic balls 2042 and the elastic holes not only has a simple structure and is easy to operate, but also is firmly and reliably locked, which can effectively withstand the vibration and impact force generated during the drying process, ensuring the stable operation of the equipment. In addition, the cooperation of the elastic clamping piece 204 and the clamping groove 101 also makes the installation and disassembly of the partition plate 202 very convenient, and users can easily adjust the position of the partition plate 202 or replace the partition plate 202 as needed, improving the flexibility and maintainability of the equipment.
[0031] Optionally, a plurality of the rotating rings 203 are arranged in an axial direction of the fixed shaft 201, and one of the partition plates 202 is connected to two of the rotating rings 203. The core purpose of arranging the plurality of rotating rings 203 in an axial direction of the fixed shaft 201 in a spaced manner is to form a connection offset. Since all the rotating rings 203 share one fixed shaft 201, if the rotating rings 203 are closely arranged, adjacent partition plates 202 are prone to interference when rotating due to insufficient space, affecting the normal operation and partitioning effect of the equipment. The spaced offset arrangement ingeniously solves this problem, which ensures that each partition plate 202 has enough space to move independently when rotating, avoiding mutual collision and interference between adjacent partition plates 202.
[0032] This design brings significant benefits when integrated into the overall design. First, it greatly improves the movement flexibility and stability of the partition assembly 2. The partition plates 202 can move smoothly without obstruction during rotation, reducing the phenomenon of jamming or stagnation due to interference, thereby improving drying efficiency. Second, the staggered arrangement effectively prevents wear and deformation of the partition plates 202 during long-term use. Since adjacent partition plates 202 do not rub due to close contact, the service life of the partition plates 202 can be extended, reducing maintenance costs for the equipment. In addition, this design also enhances the adaptability and versatility of the equipment. Users can flexibly adjust the position and spacing of the partition plates 202 according to the different quantity and type of clothes, without worrying about interference between adjacent partition plates 202. This flexibility allows the equipment to better meet the diverse needs of users, improving the user experience.
[0033] Specifically, the partition plates 202 are arranged in three, dividing the internal space of the drum 1 into three areas, and each partition plate 202 can be moved independently to adjust the size of each area. The rotating rings 203 are arranged in six, and each partition plate 202 is provided with two rotating rings 203. Specifically, when the partition plates 202 are arranged in three, and each partition plate 202 is connected to the fixed shaft 201 through two rotating rings 203, this design allows the internal space of the drum 1 to be precisely divided into three independent areas. Each partition plate 202 can be moved independently, which gives users great flexibility to freely adjust the size of each area according to the quantity, type, and drying needs of the clothes. During the drying process, since the partition plates 202 can be independently adjusted in position, the clothes are reasonably separated into three different areas, effectively avoiding entanglement and stacking between clothes, thereby significantly improving drying efficiency. At the same time, the uniform distribution of the six rotating rings 203 not only enhances the stability of the connection between the partition plates 202 and the fixed shaft 201, but also ensures the smoothness of the partition plates 202 during rotation, reducing noise and wear caused by friction or jamming. This design not only improves the durability and reliability of the equipment, but also makes the drying process more uniform and efficient, providing users with a more convenient and comfortable user experience.
[0034] In addition, one end of the fixed shaft 201 is stably connected with the inner bottom of the drum 1, which ensures the stability of the fixed shaft 201 during the operation of the drum 1 and provides a solid support foundation for the separation assembly 2. The other end of the fixed shaft 201 is provided with a limiting plate 205, which plays a crucial role. The presence of the limiting plate 205 effectively prevents the rotating ring 203 from being separated from the fixed shaft 201 due to centrifugal force or other external forces during rotation, thereby avoiding damage and failure of the separation assembly 2. When the drum 1 rotates at high speed for drying, the rotating ring 203 needs to rotate with the separation plate 202 around the fixed shaft 201, and the limiting plate 205 acts as a safety barrier, limiting the axial movement range of the rotating ring 203, ensuring that the rotating ring 203 always works stably at the predetermined position. This design not only enhances the structural integrity of the separation assembly 2, but also improves the reliability and safety of the entire washing and drying machine. It enables the equipment to maintain stable separation effect during long-term and high-intensity use, effectively preventing clothes from being tangled, and providing users with a more reliable and efficient drying experience.
[0035] In some embodiments, a plurality of through holes 206 are formed in the separation plate 202, which are arranged in an array. From the working principle, when the washing and drying machine is drying, hot air will circulate in the drum 1. The array arrangement of the through holes 206 on the separation plate 202 allows the hot air to pass through the separation plate 202 more smoothly, forming an efficient hot air circulation channel between the various separation areas. In this way, hot air can be evenly distributed to every corner of the drum 1, ensuring that each piece of clothing can fully contact the hot air, thereby achieving rapid and uniform drying effect. At the same time, the presence of the through holes 206 also reduces the obstruction of the hot air at the separation plate 202, reducing the problem of local temperature being too high or uneven drying caused by hot air accumulation.
[0036] It should be noted that the inner bottom of the drum 1 is provided with a plurality of air inlet holes 102. During the drying process, hot air is generated from the external heating device and enters the inside of the drum 1 through the air inlet holes 102 in the inner bottom of the drum 1. These air inlet holes 102 serve as the starting point of hot air circulation, ensuring that hot air can be evenly and quickly distributed to every corner of the drum 1.
[0037] When the hot air enters the drum 1 through the air inlet holes 102, it will encounter the array of through holes 206 on the separation plate 202. These through holes 206 allow hot air to flow freely between the separation areas, forming an efficient hot air circulation channel. Hot air continuously removes moisture from the clothes during the process of passing through the clothes and the separation plate 202, achieving the purpose of drying.
[0038] As the hot air circulates, the moisture in the clothes is carried out and discharged outside the machine through the exhaust port of the drum 1. The arrangement of the air inlet holes 102 not only facilitates the entry of hot air, but also helps the smooth discharge of moisture, thereby maintaining a dry environment inside the drum 1.
[0039] In particular, the included angle between the two adjacent partition plates 202 is designed to be between 40° and 150°, and this technical feature has a unique working principle and significant beneficial effects. During the operation of the washer-dryer, this included angle range ensures that the partition plates 202 are neither too dense nor too sparse in the drum 1, thereby optimizing the hot air circulation path while achieving effective separation of clothes and preventing entanglement. If the included angle is too small, the partition plates 202 are too dense, which will block the flow of hot air, affect the drying efficiency, and may increase the friction between the clothes and the partition plates 202, damaging the clothes; if the included angle is too large, the partition plates 202 are too sparse, which cannot fully separate the clothes, reducing the anti-entanglement effect. The included angle range of 40° to 150° not only ensures sufficient space for the clothes to be placed, but also enables the hot air to flow smoothly between the partitioned areas, forming uniform hot air circulation and improving the drying efficiency. In addition, this included angle range also enhances the versatility and flexibility of the device, which can adapt to different types and quantities of clothes drying needs, providing users with a more convenient and efficient use experience, while prolonging the service life of the clothes and protecting the texture and shape of the clothes.
