Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing equipment technology, specifically to a clothing processing device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous progress of society and the economy, people have higher requirements for the washing quality and hygiene of their clothes. Therefore, in recent years, washing or drying different types of clothing separately has become a trend. In related technologies, drum washing machines have multiple processing drums to handle different types of clothing separately. The drain outlets of these drums are connected to a main drain pipe via corresponding water pipes for drainage. The drain outlets of the processing drums located at the top of the washing machine are positioned above the drainage height of the main drain pipe, utilizing gravity for drainage. However, in these related technologies, water may still accumulate in the drain pipes, resulting in incomplete and unhygienic drainage. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.
[0004] Therefore, embodiments of this utility model propose a garment processing device. This garment processing device drains water cleanly.
[0005] The garment processing device of this utility model includes: a housing, a drain main pipe, and a first processing cylinder. The housing has a first side and a second side that are opposite to each other in the left-right direction. The interface of the drain main pipe is located in the housing and adjacent to the first side of the housing. The first processing cylinder is disposed inside the housing and is adjacent to the second side of the housing. The first processing cylinder is connected to the drain main pipe through a first water passage, and a first drain pump is provided on the first water passage.
[0006] According to the clothing processing device of this utility model embodiment, since the drain main pipe and the first processing cylinder are respectively adjacent to the first and second sides of the machine casing, the distance between the first processing cylinder and the drain main pipe in the left-right direction is relatively large. The drainage in the first water channel has a long flow path in the left-right direction. A first drainage pump is installed in the first water channel, which can be used to pass the drainage in the first water channel into the drain main pipe, thereby avoiding water accumulation in the first water channel due to its gentle slope, so that the first processing cylinder can drain water and the clothing processing device can drain cleanly.
[0007] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a second processing cylinder disposed within the housing, adjacent to a first side of the housing, and connected to the main drain pipe via a second water passage. This allows the second processing cylinder to be closer to the main drain pipe in the left-right direction, resulting in a shorter flow path for drainage in the second water passage, thus facilitating drainage from the second processing cylinder.
[0008] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a third processing cylinder disposed within the housing, wherein the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder are located above the third processing cylinder and distributed on the left and right sides of the third processing cylinder;
[0009] The third treatment cylinder is connected to the main drainage pipe through a third water passage, and a second drainage pump is installed on the third water passage.
[0010] Different types of clothing or other items awaiting processing can be categorized and placed into the first, second, and third processing tanks for treatment. A second drain pump is installed in the third water line, which facilitates the discharge from the third water line into the main drain pipe.
[0011] In some embodiments, the first processing cylinder is higher than the interface of the main drain pipe; the second processing cylinder is also higher than the interface of the main drain pipe. This allows for a drainage height difference between the first and second processing cylinders and the main drain pipe, facilitating drainage.
[0012] In some embodiments, the first processing cylinder has a first drain outlet, which is connected to the main drain pipe via a first water passage, and the first drain outlet is higher than the interface of the main drain pipe;
[0013] The second processing cylinder has a second drain outlet, which is connected to the main drain pipe via a second water passage, and the second drain outlet is higher than the interface of the main drain pipe;
[0014] The third processing cylinder has a third drain outlet, which is connected to the main drain pipe via a third water passage. The third drain outlet is lower than the interface of the main drain pipe. This allows the first, second, and third processing cylinders to drain water through their respective drain outlets.
[0015] In some embodiments, the lowest point of the first processing cylinder and the lowest point of the second processing cylinder are lower than the highest point of the third processing cylinder. The first and second processing cylinders overlap with the third processing cylinder in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the overall height of the cylinder assembly formed by the first, second, and third processing cylinders and reducing its space occupation in the vertical direction.
[0016] In some embodiments, the capacity of the first processing tube and the second processing tube are smaller than the capacity of the third processing tube, and the openings of the first, second, and third processing tubes all face forward. This helps to lower the center of gravity of the tube assembly, making the tube assembly more stable during operation. Users can put clothes into the first, second, and third processing tubes from the front of the casing, improving user convenience.
[0017] In some embodiments, the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the axis of the third processing cylinder, and / or, the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the center of the housing. This allows for a more regular structure of the cylinder assembly and ensures that the center of gravity of the cylinder assembly is approximately located in the middle of the assembly, which is beneficial for improving the stability of the cylinder assembly during operation.
[0018] In some embodiments, a drain valve is provided in the second water passage. The drain valve facilitates drainage of the second water passage.
[0019] In some embodiments, the first drain outlet faces the second side of the housing in a left-right direction; the second drain outlet faces the first side of the housing in a left-right direction. The first drain outlet facing the second side of the housing facilitates the arrangement of the drainage path of the first water passage by placing the first water passage adjacent to the second side of the housing. The second drain outlet facing the first side of the housing in a left-right direction facilitates its proximity to the main drain pipe.
[0020] In some embodiments, the first waterway includes a first water pipe connecting the first drainage pump and the first drain outlet, and a second water pipe connecting the first drainage pump and the main drainage pipe. The first drainage pump is connected to the main drainage pipe via the first water pipe and the second water pipe, which improves the flexibility of setting the location of the first drainage pump and facilitates the setting of the drainage path of the second water pipe.
[0021] In some embodiments, the drainage in the first water pipe flows toward the first drainage pump along the second side adjacent to the housing, and the drainage in the second water pipe flows toward the main drainage pipe along the first side adjacent to the housing. This allows the second water pipe to avoid the third processing cylinder.
[0022] In some embodiments, the second water pipe includes a first pipe segment and a second pipe segment. The first pipe segment is connected to the second pipe segment and the main drain pipe. The first pipe segment extends downward at an angle from the second side to the first side. The second pipe segment is connected to the first drain pump and extends vertically or at an angle in the up-down direction. Thus, the second pipe segment increases the drainage height difference of the second water pipe, thereby facilitating thorough drainage.
[0023] In some embodiments, the second water pipe extends downward at an angle from the second side (12) toward the first side. This reduces the length of the second water pipe and simplifies installation.
[0024] In some embodiments, the second water pipe is at least partially located above and / or behind the third treatment cylinder. This allows the second water pipe to easily avoid the third treatment cylinder and also increases the drainage height difference of the second water pipe.
[0025] In some embodiments, the distance between the drain manifold inlet and the bottom surface of the housing is less than or equal to 60 cm. This allows the treatment cylinder located above the drain manifold inlet to drain water using gravity while meeting the user's required drainage height. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0033] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes a garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1, a drain main pipe 2, and a first processing cylinder 3.
[0035] The housing 1 has a first side 11 and a second side 12 that are opposite each other in the left-right direction. The interface of the drain manifold 2 is located in the housing 1 and adjacent to the first side 11 of the housing 1. The first processing cylinder 3 is disposed inside the housing 1 and is adjacent to the second side 12 of the housing 1. The first processing cylinder 3 is connected to the drain manifold 2 through a first water passage 33, and a first drain pump 37 is provided on the first water passage 33.
[0036] This invention is based on the inventor's discovery and understanding of the following facts and problems: Due to the different drainage heights of floor drains in users' homes, the drainage height of the main drain pipe 2 needs to meet a preset value, so that the height difference between the drain outlet of the processing drum located at the top of the washing machine and the drainage height is small. For the processing drum that is far away from the main drain pipe 2, the inclination angle of its drain pipe is relatively gentle. Relying solely on gravity for drainage will cause water accumulation in the drainage path, resulting in unclean and unhygienic drainage.
[0037] According to the clothing processing device of this utility model embodiment, since the drain main pipe 2 and the first processing cylinder 3 are respectively adjacent to the first side 11 and the second side 12 of the casing 1, the distance between the first processing cylinder 3 and the drain main pipe 2 in the left-right direction is relatively large. That is, the first water channel 33 has a larger dimension in the left-right direction, and the flow path of the drainage in the first water channel 33 in the left-right direction is longer. A first drainage pump 37 is provided on the first water channel 33, which can be used to pass the drainage in the first water channel 33 into the drain main pipe 2, thereby avoiding water accumulation in the first water channel 33 due to its gentle slope, so that the first processing cylinder 3 can drain water, making the clothing processing device clean and more hygienic.
[0038] The left and right directions are shown by the arrows in the diagram. For example, the first side 11 is the left side of the casing 1, and the second side 12 is the right side of the casing 1. The drain main pipe 2 and the first treatment cylinder 3 are located adjacent to the left and right sides of the casing 1, respectively.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this example of the present invention, the garment processing device further includes a second processing cylinder 4. The second processing cylinder 4 is disposed inside the housing 1. The second processing cylinder 4 is adjacent to the first side 11 of the housing 1, and the second processing cylinder 4 is connected to the drain main pipe 2 through a second water passage 43. Both the second processing cylinder 4 and the drain main pipe 2 are adjacent to the first side 11 of the housing 1, making the distance between the second processing cylinder 4 and the drain main pipe 2 relatively short in the left-right direction. That is, the second water passage 43 is smaller in the left-right direction, and the flow path of the drainage in the second water passage 43 is shorter in the left-right direction, thereby facilitating drainage by the second processing cylinder 4. For example, the second processing cylinder 4 is adjacent to the left side of the housing 1.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the garment processing equipment also includes a third processing cylinder 5, which is located inside the housing 1. The first processing cylinder 3, the second processing cylinder 4, and the third processing cylinder 5 constitute the cylinder assembly of the garment processing equipment. Different garments or other items to be processed can be classified and placed into the first processing cylinder 3, the second processing cylinder 4, and the third processing cylinder 5 for processing.
[0041] The third treatment cylinder 5 is connected to the main drainage pipe 2 via the third water passage 53, and a second drainage pump 55 is installed on the third water passage 53. The third treatment cylinder 5 is located below the first treatment cylinder 3 and the second treatment cylinder 4, that is, the drainage height of the third treatment cylinder 5 is relatively low. The second drainage pump 55 installed on the third water passage 53 can facilitate the second drainage pump 55 to pass the drainage from the third water passage 53 into the main drainage pipe 2.
[0042] The first processing cylinder 3 and the second processing cylinder 4 are located above the third processing cylinder 5 and are distributed on the left and right sides of the third processing cylinder 5. This allows the first processing cylinder 3 and the second processing cylinder 4 to utilize the space on the left and right sides of the upper part of the housing 1, respectively, while the third processing cylinder 5 can utilize the space in the lower part of the housing 1.
[0043] In this example of the present invention, the first processing cylinder 3 and the second processing cylinder 4 are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the axis of the third processing cylinder 5, and / or, the first processing cylinder 3 and the second processing cylinder 4 are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the center of the housing 1. That is, the first processing cylinder 3 and the second processing cylinder 4 are symmetrical about at least one of the vertical plane passing through the axis of the third processing cylinder 5 and the vertical plane passing through the center of the housing 1.
[0044] Therefore, the first processing cylinder 3 and the second processing cylinder 4 are roughly at the same horizontal height, and the distances of the first processing cylinder 3 and the second processing cylinder 4 from the axis of the third processing cylinder 5 in the left-right direction are roughly equal. On the one hand, this makes the structure of the cylinder assembly more regular; on the other hand, it allows the center of gravity of the cylinder assembly to be roughly located in the middle of the cylinder assembly, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the cylinder assembly during operation.
[0045] For example, the first processing cylinder 3 is located at the upper right corner of the housing 1, the second processing cylinder 4 is located at the upper left corner inside the housing 1, and the third processing cylinder 5 is located in the middle of the lower part of the housing 1, thus making the first processing cylinder 3, the second processing cylinder 4, and the third processing cylinder 5 compact in structure. The first processing cylinder 3, the second processing cylinder 4, and the third processing cylinder 5 are generally cylindrical in shape, while the housing 1 of the garment processing equipment is generally cubic in shape. The first processing cylinder 3 and the second processing cylinder 4 are roughly the same in size and shape.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this example of the present invention, the lowest point of the first processing cylinder 3 and the lowest point of the second processing cylinder 4 are lower than the highest point of the third processing cylinder 5. That is, the first processing cylinder 3 and the second processing cylinder 4 overlap with the third processing cylinder 5 in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the overall height of the cylinder assembly composed of the first processing cylinder 3, the second processing cylinder 4 and the third processing cylinder 5, and reducing its space occupation in the vertical direction.
[0047] In this example of the present invention, the capacity of the first processing drum 3 and the second processing drum 4 are smaller than the capacity of the third processing drum 5. This helps to lower the center of gravity of the drum assembly, making the drum assembly more stable during operation. The third processing drum 5 can be used to wash larger garments. The first processing drum 3 and the second processing drum 4 are used to wash smaller garments.
[0048] In this example of the present invention, the openings of the first processing cylinder 3, the second processing cylinder 4, and the third processing cylinder 5 all face forward. The clothing processing device includes a first door for opening and closing the opening of the first processing cylinder 3, a second door for opening and closing the opening of the second processing cylinder 4, and a third door for opening and closing the opening of the third processing cylinder 5. The openings of the first processing cylinder 3, the second processing cylinder 4, and the third processing cylinder 5 are located on the front side of the housing 1, allowing the user to place clothing into the first processing cylinder 3, the second processing cylinder 4, and the third processing cylinder 5 from the front of the housing 1. The first door, the second door, and the third door are all located on the front side of the housing 1 to improve user convenience.
[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first processing cylinder 3 is higher than the interface of the main drain pipe 2, and the second processing cylinder 4 is also higher than the interface of the main drain pipe 2. This creates a drainage height difference between the interfaces of the first and second processing cylinders 3 and the main drain pipe 2, facilitating drainage.
[0050] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first processing cylinder 3 has a first drain outlet 32, which is connected to the main drain pipe 2 via a first water passage 33. The first drain outlet 32 is higher than the interface of the main drain pipe 2. Specifically, the first drain outlet 32 is located at the bottom of the first processing cylinder 3 so that the first processing cylinder 3 can drain water from the bottom.
[0051] For example, the first processing cylinder 3 includes a first outer cylinder and a first inner cylinder disposed inside the first outer cylinder. The bottom of the first outer cylinder is provided with a first drainage section 31, and a first drainage outlet 32 is disposed on the first drainage section 31.
[0052] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second processing cylinder 4 has a second drain outlet 42, which is connected to the main drain pipe 2 via a second water passage 43. The second drain outlet 42 is higher than the interface of the main drain pipe 2. Specifically, the second drain outlet 42 is located at the bottom of the second processing cylinder 4 so that the second processing cylinder 4 can drain water from the bottom.
[0053] For example, the second processing cylinder 4 includes a second outer cylinder and a second inner cylinder disposed inside the second outer cylinder. The bottom of the second outer cylinder is provided with a second drainage section 41, and a second drainage outlet 42 is disposed on the second drainage section 41.
[0054] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the third processing cylinder 5 has a third drain outlet 52, which is connected to the main drain pipe 2 via a third water passage 53. The third drain outlet 52 is lower than the interface of the main drain pipe 2. Specifically, the third drain outlet 52 is located at the bottom of the third processing cylinder 5 so that the third processing cylinder 5 can drain water from the bottom.
[0055] For example, the third processing cylinder 5 includes a third outer cylinder and a third inner cylinder disposed inside the third outer cylinder. The bottom of the third outer cylinder is provided with a third drainage section 51, and a third drainage outlet 52 is disposed on the third drainage section 51.
[0056] In this example of the present invention, a drain valve is provided on the second water passage 43. The second processing cylinder 4 is adjacent to the main drain pipe 2, resulting in a large slope for the second water passage 43, which can be drained cleanly by gravity alone. When the second processing cylinder 4 needs to drain, the drain valve on the second water passage 43 opens, allowing the drainage in the second processing cylinder 4 to flow through the second water passage 43 and into the main drain pipe 2. For example, a second drain valve 44 is provided on the second water passage 43, and the second drain valve 44 is adjacent to the second drain outlet 42.
[0057] In this example of the present invention, a first drain valve 36 is provided on the first water passage 33, and the first drain valve 36 is located upstream of the first drain pump 37 on the first water passage 33. After the first drain valve 36 is opened, the first water passage 33 can drain water.
[0058] A third drain valve 54 is provided on the third water passage 53, and the third drain valve 54 is located upstream of the second drain pump 55 on the third water passage 53. After the third drain valve 54 is opened, the third water passage 53 can drain water.
[0059] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this example of the present invention, the first drain outlet 32 faces the second side 12 of the housing 1 in the left-right direction, thereby facilitating the arrangement of a portion of the first water passage 33 along the adjacent position of the second side 12 of the housing 1, making it easier to arrange the drainage path of the first water passage 33. The second drain outlet 42 faces the first side 11 of the housing 1 in the left-right direction, making the second drain outlet 42 adjacent to the main drain pipe 2, thereby increasing the drainage slope of the second water passage 43. For example, the first drain outlet 32 faces the right side. The second drain outlet 42 faces the left side.
[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the example of this utility model, the first waterway 33 includes a first water pipe 34 connecting the first drainage pump 37 and the first drain outlet 32, and a second water pipe 35 connecting the first drainage pump 37 and the main drainage pipe 2. The first drainage pump 37 is connected to the main drainage pipe 2 via the first water pipe 34 and the second water pipe 35, which can improve the flexibility of setting the position of the first drainage pump 37 and facilitate the setting of the drainage path of the second water pipe 35.
[0061] The drainage in the first water pipe 34 flows towards the first drainage pump 37 along the second side 12 adjacent to the casing 1, and the drainage in the second water pipe 35 flows towards the main drainage pipe 2 along the first side 11 adjacent to the casing 1. The first water pipe 34 extends towards the second side 12 adjacent to the casing 1. After the drainage passes through the first water pipe 34 to the first drainage pump 37, the first drainage pump 37 directs the drainage into the second water pipe 35 and then into the main drainage pipe 2. The inlet of the second water pipe 35 is adjacent to the second side 12 of the casing 1, which facilitates the second water pipe 35 avoiding the third treatment cylinder 5 and facilitates the formation of a downwardly inclined pipe section for drainage. For example, the first water pipe 34 extends to the right.
[0062] In this example of the present invention, the second water pipe 35 is at least partially located on the upper side and / or the rear side of the third treatment cylinder 5, that is, a portion or all of the second water pipe 35 can be arranged on at least one of the upper side and the rear side of the third treatment cylinder 5. The second water pipe 35 being at least partially arranged on the upper side of the third treatment cylinder 5 increases the drainage height difference of the second water pipe 35. The second water pipe 35 being at least partially arranged on the rear side of the third treatment cylinder 5 facilitates avoidance of the third treatment cylinder 5 and the cylinder door.
[0063] For example, the main drain pipe 2 is located behind the third treatment cylinder 5, and the second water pipe 35 is located behind the third treatment cylinder 5. The upper part of the second water pipe 35 is located above the third treatment cylinder 5, thereby increasing the drainage height difference.
[0064] like Figure 2As shown, in this example of the present invention, the second water pipe 35 extends downward at an angle from the second side 12 toward the first side 11. This reduces the length of the second water pipe 35 and also lowers the installation difficulty. For example, the first water pipe 34 extends at an angle to the right and backward, and the second water pipe 35 is located behind the third treatment cylinder 5, and the second water pipe 35 is set to the left and downward to facilitate drainage.
[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, in an example of this utility model, the second water pipe 35 includes a first pipe section 351 and a second pipe section 352.
[0066] The first pipe section 351 is connected to the second pipe section 352 and the main drainage pipe 2. The first pipe section 351 extends downward at an angle from the second side 12 to the first side 11. The second pipe section 352 is connected to the first drainage pump 37. The second pipe section 352 extends vertically or at an angle in the up-down direction. Thus, the drainage height difference of the second water pipe 35 can be increased by the second pipe section 351, thereby facilitating drainage. For example, the second pipe section 352 is inclined backward and upward, and the first pipe section 351 is located behind the third treatment cylinder 5, extending downward to the left. Alternatively, the second pipe section 352 extends upward, and is connected to the first pipe section 351 via a connecting pipe section extending in the front-back direction. The first pipe section 351 is located behind the third treatment cylinder 5, extending downward to the left.
[0067] In this example of the present invention, the distance between the interface of the main drain pipe 2 and the bottom surface of the casing 1 is less than or equal to 60 cm, thereby ensuring that the drainage height of the main drain pipe 2 is less than or equal to 60 cm. The outlet of the main drain pipe 2 is used to connect to an external floor drain. The main drain pipe 2 has a preset drainage height to meet the drainage needs of floor drains at different heights. The drainage height of the main drain pipe 2 is less than or equal to 60 cm, thus meeting the user's required drainage height while allowing the treatment cylinder located above the interface of the main drain pipe 2 to drain water using gravity.
[0068] For example, the distance between the interface of the main drain pipe 2 and the bottom surface of the casing 1 is 50 cm, 55 cm or 60 cm.
[0069] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in the clothing processing device according to this embodiment of the utility model, the distance between the first processing cylinder 3 and the drain main pipe 2 in the left-right direction is relatively large. A first drain pump 37 is installed on the first water passage 33, which can be used to pump the drainage from the first water passage 33 into the drain main pipe 2, thereby preventing water accumulation in the first water passage 33 due to its gentle slope, allowing the first processing cylinder 3 to drain water effectively and ensuring the clothing processing device drains cleanly. The second processing cylinder 4 is closer to the drain main pipe 2, allowing the second water passage 43 to drain water using gravity. The third processing cylinder 5 is located below the first processing cylinder 3 and the second processing cylinder 4, and a second drain pump 55 is installed on the third water passage 53, ensuring the third water passage 53 drains cleanly.
[0070] In an example of this utility model, the clothing processing device can be a washing machine, a dryer, or a washer-dryer combo. Accordingly, any one of the first processing drum 3, the second processing drum 4, and the third processing drum 5 can be used to dry or wash clothes, or any one of the first processing drum 3, the second processing drum 4, and the third processing drum 5 can both dry and wash clothes.
