Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical manufacturing technology, and in particular to a garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of a front-loading washing machine is that the inner drum of the drum assembly rotates, causing the clothes inside to spin from the bottom to the top of the drum. Then, due to gravity, the clothes fall from the top of the drum back to the bottom. This process simulates the tumbling action of clothes during washing to achieve the effect of washing and cleaning. However, in the initial water intake stage of the wash cycle, the clothes in a front-loading washing machine are wetted relatively slowly, which slows down the softening of dirt on the clothes, resulting in a less effective washing effect.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 This application provides a garment processing device 100, including a cylinder 20, a door seal 30, and a rotary spray assembly 40. The cylinder 20 has an opening 21. The door seal 30 is disposed at the opening 21 of the cylinder 20 and connected to the cylinder 20. The rotary spray assembly 40 is connected to the door seal 30, and the water outlet 425 of the rotary spray assembly 40 is located inside the door seal 30. When the rotary spray assembly 40 performs a spraying operation, the water outlet 425 of the rotary spray assembly 40 can rotate.

[0042] For example, the garment handling equipment 100 can be a drum washing machine, a drum washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0043] For example, the cylinder 20 is the outer cylinder of the garment processing device 100, and the garment processing device 100 also includes an inner cylinder disposed in the cylinder 20.

[0044] For example, one or more sets of rotating spray assemblies 40 may be provided on the door seal 30, and the multiple sets of rotating spray assemblies 40 may be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the door seal 30.

[0045] Please see Figure 1The garment processing device 100 also includes a door 70, which is used to cooperate with the door seal 30 to seal the cylinder 20.

[0046] For example, the door body 70 is made of glass.

[0047] The clothing treatment device 100 provided in this application embodiment, by setting a rotating spray assembly 40 on the door seal 30, during the initial water intake stage of washing, when the rotating spray assembly 40 sprays water containing or without detergent, the outlet 425 of the rotating spray assembly 40 can rotate, thereby forming a rotating water flow. This allows different parts of the clothing to come into contact with the water flow, increasing the contact area between the water flow and the clothing, accelerating the wetting speed of the clothing, and achieving a better wetting effect. By increasing the wetting speed of the clothing, the softening speed of dirt on the clothing can be accelerated, thereby improving the washing effect of the clothing. At the same time, the rotating water flow can fully spray and clean areas such as the door seal 30 and the door 70 where foam is easily left behind, thereby improving the cleanliness of the washing machine itself.

[0048] For example, the water inlet of the rotary spray assembly 40 can be directly connected to the water inlet valve, or connected in series after the water inlet valve and the detergent dispenser, or connected to the outlet of the circulation pump to spray clean water, detergent water or circulating water, so that the clothes and detergent can fully contact and mix at the beginning of the wash, or the clean water can fully wet the clothes, or the washing water can be circulated and sprayed into the washing tub by the circulation pump during the wash process. All of these can improve the washing ability of the washing machine.

[0049] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The rotating spray assembly 40 includes a transition joint 41 and a rotating nozzle 42. The transition joint 41 is installed on the door seal 30. One end of the rotating nozzle 42 is connected to one end of the transition joint 41. The rotating nozzle 42 is rotatable relative to the transition joint 41. The rotating nozzle 42 is provided with the water outlet 425.

[0050] Please see Figure 9 The transition joint 41 includes a connected pipe body 411 and a positioning part 412. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The door seal 30 is provided with a first through hole 31 and a second through hole 32 spaced apart. The tube body 411 passes through the first through hole 31, and the positioning part 412 passes through the second through hole 32.

[0051] It is understandable that by setting the positioning part 412 on the transition joint 41 to penetrate the second through hole 32 on the door seal 30, the positioning of the transition joint 41 can be achieved by using the positioning of both the pipe body 411 and the positioning part 412, ensuring that the width direction of the rotating spray assembly 40 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the cylinder 20, and ensuring a reasonable and safe gap between the rotating spray assembly 40 and the door body 70.

[0052] For example, the positioning part 412 includes a first horizontal section connected to the tube body 411 and a first vertical section connected to the first horizontal section, the first vertical section passing through the second through hole 32.

[0053] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 11 The rotary spray assembly 40 also includes a support frame 50, which is hung on or connected to the transition joint 41. The end of the rotary nozzle 42 facing away from the transition joint 41 is rotatably connected to the support frame 50.

[0054] Please see Figure 11 The support frame 50 includes a first frame 51, a second frame 52, a first connecting portion 53, and a second connecting portion 54. The first frame 51 and the second frame 52 are disposed opposite to each other, and the first connecting portion 53 and the second connecting portion 54 are disposed opposite to each other. One end of the first frame 51 and one end of the second frame 52 are respectively connected to both sides of the first connecting portion 53, and the other end of the first frame 51 and the other end of the second frame 52 are respectively connected to both sides of the second connecting portion 54. (See also...) Figure 11 At the same time, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first connecting part 53 is hung on or connected to the transition joint 41, and the end of the rotating nozzle 42 facing away from the transition joint 41 is rotatably connected to the second connecting part 54.

[0055] Understandably, when water flows from the transition joint 41 into the rotating nozzle 42, under the centrifugal force and reaction force of the water flow, the rotating nozzle 42 can rotate relative to the transition joint 41 and the support frame 50 while spraying water, thereby fully spraying the water into the cylinder 20 and parts such as the door 70 and the door seal 30.

[0056] Please see Figure 10 The rotating nozzle 42 includes a nozzle body 421 and a rotating shaft 422 connected together. The nozzle body 421 is provided with the water outlet 425. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 11 and Figure 12The second connecting part 54 is provided with a recessed part 541, and at least a portion of the rotating shaft 422 enters the recessed part 541 and is able to rotate relative to the recessed part 541.

[0057] For example, the recessed portion 541 can be a groove or a through hole.

[0058] Please see Figure 10 The nozzle body 421 includes a connected base plate 401 and a side plate 402. The side plate 402 has an inlet 406 at one end facing away from the base plate 401. The surface of the base plate 401 facing the side plate 402 is a guide surface 405. The angle between the guide surface 405 and the side plate 402 is an obtuse angle. The side plate 402 has an outlet 425.

[0059] It should be noted that by setting the angle between the surface (guide surface 405) on the side plate 401 facing the side plate 402 and the side plate 402 to an obtuse angle, when the water flow impacts the guide surface, the water flow can be reflected on the guide surface to the inner wall surface of the side plate 402, and the nozzle body 421 is driven to rotate under the centrifugal force and pushing force of the water flow.

[0060] Specifically, the direction of the water flow ejected from the nozzle body 421 can be adjusted by adjusting the angle between the guide surface 405 and the side plate 402, so that the water flow direction can meet the expectations.

[0061] For example, the included angle between the guide surface 405 and the side plate 402 can be 91°, 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, 140°, 150°, 160°, 170°, 179°, etc.

[0062] Please see Figure 11 The first connecting portion 53 includes a connected cylindrical portion 531 and a first boss 534, the first boss 534 being disposed on the inner side of the cylindrical portion 531; see also Figure 9 The transition joint 41 also includes a limiting part 413 connected to the tube body 411. The tube body 411 of the transition joint 41 penetrates the inner cavity of the cylindrical part 531, and the first boss 534 overlaps the limiting part 413.

[0063] Please see Figure 11 For example, the first boss 534 is disposed at one end of the cylindrical portion 531.

[0064] Please see Figure 11For example, the number of first protrusions 534 in the first connecting portion 53 can be one or more, and multiple first protrusions 534 are all disposed on the inner side of the cylindrical portion 531 and connected to the cylindrical portion 531. Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 53 is provided with two first protrusions 534, and the two first protrusions 534 are symmetrically arranged.

[0065] Please see Figure 9 For example, the transition joint 41 may have one or more limiting portions 413, with multiple limiting portions 413 disposed around and connected to the pipe body 411. See also... Figure 9 In some embodiments, the transition joint 41 is provided with two limiting parts 413, and the two limiting parts 413 are symmetrically arranged.

[0066] In this embodiment of the application, "multiple" refers to two or more, and multiple first protrusions 534 overlap with multiple limiting portions 413.

[0067] Please see Figure 9 The limiting part 413 is provided with a limiting groove 415, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 11 The first connecting part 53 is also provided with a positioning structure 533, which enters the limiting groove 415 to restrict the support frame 50 from rotating relative to the transition joint 41.

[0068] It is understandable that by setting the positioning structure 533 to enter the limiting groove 415 to restrict the rotation of the support frame 50 relative to the transition joint 41, that is, when the rotating nozzle 42 is in a rotating state, both the support frame 50 and the transition joint 41 remain stationary, thereby providing support for the rotating nozzle 42.

[0069] Please see Figure 11 The cylindrical portion 531 is provided with a hollow portion 532, and the positioning structure 533 is provided on the inner side of the hollow portion 532. Furthermore, the positioning structure 533 is connected to the area on the cylindrical portion 531 located at the edge of the hollow portion 532.

[0070] For example, the support frame 50 and the transition joint 41 can be connected or disassembled by rotating and applying a certain force.

[0071] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The rotating spray assembly 40 also includes a water inlet pipe 60, one end of which is connected to the transition joint 41.

[0072] The clothing processing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand this application. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
