Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of washer-dryer combos, and more particularly to a washer-dryer combo with an emergency drainage structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the laundry and dryer industry, washer-dryer combos are gradually becoming a popular household appliance in modern homes and commercial spaces due to their significant convenience in combining washing and drying functions. With the accelerating pace of life and increasing demands for quality of life, washer-dryer combos can complete the washing and drying process in one go, greatly saving time and effort and meeting users' needs for efficient laundry and dryer care.

[0003] In the existing technology system of washer-dryer combos, the base, as a crucial component, primarily serves the basic function of supporting and securing the machine. However, its internal space design is relatively simplistic. During the overall design and development of washer-dryer combos, the internal space of the base has not been fully developed and utilized, leaving significant room for improvement in the overall structure's space efficiency. This insufficient space utilization not only limits the development of washer-dryer combos in terms of structural compactness and functional integration but also, to some extent, affects the overall performance and user experience of the equipment.

[0004] Despite the numerous advantages of washer-dryer combos, a pressing technical problem has emerged during practical use: lint and debris clogging the drain after washing and drying. During the washing and drying process, lint, dander, and other impurities from the clothes enter the drainage system with the water flow. Because existing washer-dryer combos lack effective lint collection and processing mechanisms, this lint and debris easily accumulates at the drain, leading to blockage over time. This blockage not only affects the normal drainage function of the washer-dryer combo, reducing its washing and drying efficiency, but can also cause equipment malfunctions, increasing maintenance costs and inconvenience for users. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a washer-dryer combo with an emergency drainage structure to solve the problems of the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] On the one hand, a washer-dryer combo with an emergency drainage structure is provided, including: a body, a base, a main drainage mechanism and an emergency drainage mechanism. The body is detachably installed on the base. The base has at least two pull-out slots. Drawers are slidably arranged in the pull-out slots. The two drawers are respectively used to store detergent bottles and tools.

[0008] The main drainage mechanism is located at the bottom of the body, and the emergency drainage mechanism is located at the top of the base. The main drainage mechanism includes a main drainage box with a main drainage channel formed inside. The emergency drainage mechanism includes an emergency drainage box, a drive assembly, and a pipe assembly. The drive assembly is installed inside the emergency drainage box, and the pipe assembly is connected to the drive end of the drive assembly. The pipe assembly forms an emergency drainage channel. An emergency drainage outlet connecting the main drainage channel and the emergency drainage channel is provided at the bottom of the main drainage box.

[0009] Furthermore, a baffle is rotatably installed at the emergency drain outlet. The pipe assembly includes an emergency drain pipe, a movable component, and an elastic component. The movable component is connected to the top end of the emergency drain pipe through the elastic component. The emergency drain pipe can move between a first position and a second position under the drive of the drive assembly. When it is in the first position, the top end of the emergency drain pipe is offset from the emergency drain outlet. When it moves from the first position to the second position, the top end of the emergency drain pipe moves to directly below the emergency drain outlet. Under the elastic force of the elastic component, the movable component moves upward and rotates against the baffle, thereby opening the emergency drain outlet.

[0010] Furthermore, the emergency drainage pipe includes a horizontal pipe and a vertical pipe connected to one end of the horizontal pipe. The vertical pipe has a movable groove for the movable component to move up and down, and the elastic component is disposed between the bottom of the movable groove and the movable component.

[0011] Furthermore, the movable groove has a limiting groove on its wall, and the outer peripheral wall of the movable part has a limiting protrusion that cooperates with the limiting groove for limiting.

[0012] Furthermore, a sealing plate is provided at the top of the vertical pipe, and a sealing strip is provided on the sealing plate. When the vertical pipe moves to directly below the emergency drain outlet, the sealing plate seals against the bottom of the main drain box through the sealing strip.

[0013] Furthermore, the base is provided with a plurality of positioning posts arranged in an array, and the bottom of the body is provided with positioning holes that cooperate with the positioning posts for positioning.

[0014] Furthermore, the body is provided with a first mounting groove for installing the main drainage box.

[0015] Furthermore, the base is provided with a second mounting slot for installing the emergency drainage box.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the pull-out slot is provided with a guide rail, and the bottom of the drawer is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the guide rail for guidance.

[0017] Furthermore, the main drain box has a main outlet on its side, one end of which is connected to the main drain channel and the other end is connected to a first outlet pipe; the emergency drain box has an emergency outlet on its side, one end of which is connected to the emergency drain channel and the other end is connected to a second outlet pipe.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Under normal use, the washer-dryer combo drains water through the main drainage mechanism. The main drainage channel within the main drainage box handles the drainage task, and water flows out of the machine through the main drainage channel. When the main drainage mechanism malfunctions and cannot drain normally, the emergency drainage mechanism activates, driving the drive component to operate the pipe assembly, connecting the emergency drainage channel with the emergency drainage port at the bottom of the main drainage box. Water inside the washer-dryer combo can then be drained through the emergency drainage channel, achieving the emergency drainage function. Its beneficial effect lies in that by setting an emergency drainage mechanism at the top of the base, which cooperates with the main drainage mechanism at the bottom of the machine, emergency drainage can be activated promptly when the main drainage mechanism malfunctions, effectively preventing damage to the washer-dryer combo due to poor drainage, thus improving the reliability and safety of the washer-dryer combo. Simultaneously, drawers are installed in the pull-out slots on the base for storing detergent bottles and tools, making reasonable use of the internal space of the base and improving the overall structural space efficiency.

[0029] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this embodiment provides a washer-dryer combo with an emergency drainage structure, including: a body 1, a base 2, a main drainage mechanism 4 and an emergency drainage mechanism 5. The body 1 is detachably installed on the base 2. The base 2 has at least two pull-out grooves 201. Drawers 3 are slidably arranged in the pull-out grooves 201. The two drawers 3 are respectively used to store detergent bottles and tools.

[0033] The main drainage mechanism 4 is located at the bottom of the body 1, and the emergency drainage mechanism 5 is located at the top of the base 2. The main drainage mechanism 4 includes a main drainage box 401, and a main drainage channel 404 is formed inside the main drainage box 401. The emergency drainage mechanism 5 includes an emergency drainage box 501, a drive assembly 502, and a pipe assembly 503. The drive assembly 502 is installed inside the emergency drainage box 501, and the pipe assembly 503 is connected to the drive end of the drive assembly 502. The pipe assembly 503 forms an emergency drainage channel 505. An emergency drainage outlet 402 connecting the main drainage channel 404 and the emergency drainage channel 505 is provided at the bottom of the main drainage box 401.

[0034] Based on the above scheme, during normal operation of the washer-dryer combo, the main drainage mechanism 4 is responsible for discharging the wastewater generated during the washing and drying process. The main drainage box 401 is located at the bottom of the machine body 1, and the main drainage channel 404 formed inside it is the main path for water discharge. The wastewater generated during the washing and drying process collects in the main drainage box 401 under the action of gravity, and then smoothly discharges to the outside of the machine body 1 along the main drainage channel 404, ensuring that the washer-dryer combo can continuously and stably complete the washing and drying process.

[0035] However, when the main drainage mechanism 4 malfunctions due to various reasons (such as pipe blockage, drainage pump failure, etc.) and cannot drain water normally, the emergency drainage mechanism 5 plays a crucial role. The emergency drainage mechanism 5 is located at the top of the base 2. Its drive component 502 activates upon detecting a malfunction in the main drainage mechanism 4 (which can be detected by sensors or other monitoring devices) or upon the user manually triggering an emergency drainage command. The drive component 502 drives the pipe assembly 503, which forms an emergency drainage channel 505. This emergency drainage channel 505, originally closed or not fully connected, connects to the emergency drain outlet 402 at the bottom of the main drainage box 401 under the action of the drive component 502. At this time, wastewater accumulated inside the washer-dryer combo can flow into the emergency drainage channel 505 through the emergency drain outlet 402 and ultimately be discharged from the machine body 1, achieving the emergency drainage function and preventing damage to the washer-dryer combo due to wastewater accumulation.

[0036] The advantages of this washer-dryer combo are significant. Firstly, by incorporating an emergency drainage mechanism 5 at the top of the base 2, which works in conjunction with the main drainage mechanism 4 at the bottom of the machine body 1, a reliable drainage system is formed. In case of an emergency where the main drainage mechanism 4 malfunctions, the emergency drainage mechanism 5 can be activated promptly, ensuring that wastewater from the washer-dryer combo can be smoothly discharged. This effectively prevents equipment damage caused by poor drainage, greatly improving the reliability and safety of the washer-dryer combo, giving users greater peace of mind. Secondly, drawers 3 are installed within the pull-out slots 201 on the base 2, used to store detergent bottles and tools. This design makes efficient use of the previously unused space inside the base 2, making the overall structure of the washer-dryer combo more compact and improving space efficiency. It also provides convenience for users to store related items, further optimizing the user experience.

[0037] Furthermore, a baffle 6 is rotatably provided at the emergency drain outlet 402. The pipe assembly 503 includes an emergency drain pipe, a movable part 506, and an elastic part. The movable part 506 is connected to the top end of the emergency drain pipe through the elastic part. The emergency drain pipe can move between a first position and a second position under the drive of the drive assembly 502. When it is in the first position, the top end of the emergency drain pipe is offset from the emergency drain outlet 402. When it moves from the first position to the second position, the top end of the emergency drain pipe moves to directly below the emergency drain outlet 402. Under the elastic force of the elastic part, the movable part 506 moves upward and rotates against the baffle 6, thereby opening the emergency drain outlet 402. When the washer-dryer combo is operating normally and the main drainage mechanism 4 is working properly, the baffle 6 at the emergency drain outlet 402 is closed. At this time, the emergency drain pipe is in the first position under the action of the drive component 502, with the top of the emergency drain pipe offset from the emergency drain outlet 402. The movable part 506 is in a relatively low position under the action of the elastic element and will not rotate against the baffle 6, thus ensuring that the main drainage channel 404 works independently and the emergency drainage mechanism 5 does not interfere with normal drainage. When the main drainage mechanism 4 malfunctions and emergency drainage needs to be activated, the drive component 502 drives the emergency drain pipe to move from the first position to the second position. At this time, the top of the emergency drain pipe moves directly below the emergency drain outlet 402. As the emergency drain pipe moves, the movable part 506 moves upward under the elastic force of the elastic element. The movable part 506 rotates against the baffle 6, thereby opening the emergency drain outlet 402. Wastewater in the washer-dryer combo can then flow into the emergency drainage channel 505 through the emergency drain outlet 402 and finally be discharged from the machine body 1, realizing the emergency drainage function.

[0038] By installing a rotatable baffle 6 at the emergency drain outlet 402, and coordinating the movement of the emergency drain pipe with the synergistic action of the moving part 506 and the elastic element, precise control of the emergency drain outlet 402 is achieved. During normal drainage, the baffle 6 is closed, preventing potential leakage and ensuring the normal operation of the main drainage mechanism 4 is undisturbed. When emergency drainage is needed, the emergency drain outlet 402 can be opened promptly to ensure smooth wastewater discharge. This design not only improves the reliability and stability of the emergency drainage mechanism 5 but also enhances the overall sealing and safety of the washer-dryer combo, further improving its performance and user experience.

[0039] Furthermore, the emergency drain pipe includes a horizontal pipe 5031 and a vertical pipe 5032 connected to one end of the horizontal pipe 5031. The vertical pipe 5032 has a movable groove for the movable component 506 to move up and down. The elastic element is located between the bottom of the movable groove and the movable component 506. When the washer-dryer is running normally and the main drain mechanism 4 is working normally, the emergency drain mechanism 5 is in standby mode. At this time, the horizontal pipe 5031 in the emergency drain pipe is connected to the vertical pipe 5032. The movable groove on the vertical pipe 5032 provides space for the movable component 506 to move up and down. Under the action of the elastic element, the movable component 506 is located near the bottom of the movable groove. Since the emergency drain pipe is in the first position, its top end (i.e., the top end of the vertical pipe 5032) is offset from the emergency drain outlet 402, the baffle 6 is in a closed state, the main drain channel 404 is working normally, and the emergency drain mechanism 5 does not participate in drainage. When the main drainage mechanism 4 malfunctions and emergency drainage is required, the drive assembly 502 drives the emergency drainage pipe to move from the first position to the second position, with the top of the vertical pipe 5032 moving directly below the emergency drainage outlet 402. Within the movable groove, as the emergency drainage pipe moves, the movable part 506 moves upward along the movable groove under the elastic force of the elastic element. The movable part 506 rotates against the baffle 6, opening the emergency drainage outlet 402. Wastewater from the washer-dryer can then be discharged from the machine body 1 through the emergency drainage channel 505, which consists of the emergency drainage outlet 402, the vertical pipe 5032, and the horizontal pipe 5031.

[0040] A movable groove is formed on the vertical pipe 5032, and an elastic element is placed between the bottom of the movable groove and the movable element 506. This structural design provides stable and precise guidance for the vertical movement of the movable element 506. The movable groove restricts the movement direction of the movable element 506, allowing it to move only in the vertical direction. This ensures that the movable element 506 can accurately rotate against the baffle 6, thereby reliably opening or closing the emergency drain outlet 402. At the same time, the elastic element provides stable elastic force to the movable element 506 within the movable groove, ensuring that the movable element 506 can move upward promptly and forcefully when emergency drainage is needed, opening the emergency drain outlet 402, thus improving the response speed and reliability of the emergency drainage mechanism 5.

[0041] Meanwhile, the movable groove has a limiting groove on its wall, and the outer peripheral wall of the movable part 506 has a limiting protrusion that cooperates with the limiting groove to limit its movement. When the emergency drainage device is closed, the movable part 506 will be in its initial position under the constraint of the bottom of the main drainage box 401. At this time, the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion cooperate to provide a stable positioning function for the movable part 506, preventing the movable part 506 from moving unexpectedly under the influence of the elastic force of the elastic element, equipment vibration, or other external forces. This ensures that the emergency drainage device is in a stable standby state and avoids accidental triggering of the emergency drainage function due to the displacement of the movable part 506. When the emergency drainage function needs to be activated, the drive component 502 drives the emergency drainage pipe to move, and the movable part 506 begins to move upward under the action of the elastic force of the elastic element. The limiting protrusion moves along the trajectory of the limiting groove. This cooperative design of the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion allows the movable part 506 to move according to a predetermined path and position, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the movable part 506 during the movement. When the movable part 506 moves to a position where it can rotate against the baffle 6, the limiting protrusion precisely engages with the corresponding limiting groove, fixing the movable part 506 in that position and ensuring that the emergency drain outlet 402 can be reliably opened to achieve emergency drainage.

[0042] Furthermore, a sealing plate 507 is installed at the top of the vertical pipe 5032, and a sealing strip 508 is installed on the sealing plate 507. Its working principle and beneficial effects are as follows: When the washer-dryer combo is in normal drainage mode and the emergency drainage device is not activated, the vertical pipe 5032 and the emergency drain outlet 402 are not in corresponding positions, and the sealing plate 507 will not contact the bottom of the main drain box 401. At this time, the emergency drainage channel 505 is closed, and the normal drainage function of the main drainage channel 404 is not affected. However, when drainage blockage occurs and the emergency drainage function needs to be activated, the drive component 502 drives the emergency drain pipe to move, and the vertical pipe 5032 moves to directly below the emergency drain outlet 402. At this time, the sealing plate 507 seals against the bottom of the main drain box 401 through the sealing strip 508. This design plays multiple key roles. On the one hand, the sealing strip 508 fills the gap between the sealing plate 507 and the bottom of the main drain box 401, effectively preventing water in the main drain box 401 from leaking through this gap when emergency drainage is not activated, thus ensuring the sealing performance of the equipment in normal drainage and standby states. On the other hand, during emergency drainage, the sealing contact between the sealing plate 507 and the sealing strip 508 guides the water flow more smoothly through the emergency drainage channel 505, preventing leakage or turbulence at the interface and improving the efficiency and reliability of emergency drainage. Simultaneously, the sealing strip 508 also has a certain degree of elasticity and cushioning, providing a buffering and shock-absorbing effect when the sealing plate 507 contacts the bottom of the main drain box 401, reducing noise and damage caused by collisions and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0043] In some embodiments, the base 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 203 arranged in an array, and the bottom of the machine body 1 is provided with positioning holes that cooperate with the positioning posts 203 for positioning. When installing the washer-dryer combo, the bottom of the machine body 1 is aligned with the base 2, so that the positioning holes on the bottom of the machine body 1 correspond one-to-one with the positioning posts 203 on the base 2. As the machine body 1 is gradually placed on the base 2, the positioning posts 203 will accurately insert into the positioning holes. Through this cooperation between the positioning posts 203 and the positioning holes, the position of the machine body 1 on the base 2 can be quickly and accurately determined, achieving initial positioning of the machine body 1. Afterwards, the machine body 1 is securely installed on the base 2 using other fixing methods (such as bolt connections).

[0044] It is worth mentioning that the main body 1 has a first mounting slot for installing the main drain box 401, and the base 2 has a second mounting slot 204 for installing the emergency drain box 501. During installation, the main drain box 401 is precisely placed into the first mounting slot of the main body 1. The first mounting slot provides a stable installation position and space for the main drain box 401, ensuring that the main drain box 401 is tightly connected to the main body 1. The main drain channel 404 can smoothly connect to the drainage system of the main body 1, ensuring the realization of normal drainage function. At the same time, the emergency drain box 501 is installed into the second mounting slot 204 of the base 2. The second mounting slot 204 provides positioning and support for the emergency drain box 501, allowing it to be stably installed on the base 2. The emergency drain channel 505 can be reasonably connected to subsequent pipe components 503, etc., and can quickly play a role when emergency drainage is needed.

[0045] Preferably, the bottom of the pull-out groove 201 is provided with a guide rail 202, and the bottom of the drawer 3 is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the guide rail 202 for guidance. When installing the drawer 3, align the guide groove at the bottom of the drawer 3 with the guide rail 202 at the bottom of the pull-out groove 201, and then push the drawer 3 into the pull-out groove 201 along the guide rail 202. The cooperation between the guide rail 202 and the guide groove provides precise guidance for the pull-out action of the drawer 3, ensuring that the drawer 3 maintains a stable movement trajectory during the pulling process. When it is necessary to store or retrieve detergent bottles and tools, the user can easily pull out the drawer 3 along the guide rail 202, and then push the drawer 3 back into the pull-out groove 201 after completing the operation.

[0046] Specifically, the main drain box 401 has a main outlet 403 on its side, one end of which is connected to the main drain channel 404, and the other end is connected to the first outlet pipe 7. The emergency drain box 501 has an emergency outlet 504 on its side, one end of which is connected to the emergency drain channel 505, and the other end is connected to the second outlet pipe 8. Its working principle is as follows: When the washer-dryer is running normally, the main drain mechanism 4 functions, and the wastewater generated during the washing and drying process flows within the main drain channel 404, flows into the first outlet pipe 7 through the main outlet 403 on the side of the main drain box 401, and is then discharged from the machine body 1 through the first outlet pipe 7, thus achieving normal drainage. When the main drain mechanism 4 malfunctions, the emergency drain mechanism 5 is activated, and the wastewater inside the washer-dryer enters the emergency drain channel 505, flows into the second outlet pipe 8 through the emergency outlet 504 on the side of the emergency drain box 501, and is finally discharged from the machine body 1 through the second outlet pipe 8, completing the emergency drainage process.

[0047] The design offers significant advantages. Firstly, the arrangement of the main outlet 403, the first outlet pipe 7, the emergency outlet 504, and the second outlet pipe 8 ensures clear and independent water flow paths for both main and emergency drainage, preventing interference between the two drainage methods and guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the drainage system. Secondly, this well-defined drainage connection structure facilitates installation and maintenance. In the event of a drainage malfunction, maintenance personnel can quickly locate the problem and troubleshoot by inspecting the first outlet pipe 7, the second outlet pipe 8, and related connections. This improves maintenance efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and ultimately enhances the overall performance and user experience of the washer-dryer combo.
