[0028] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a cleaning device 100, including a washing drum 20, a circulation pump 30, a circulation pipeline 40, and a rotating spray assembly 50. The washing drum 20 is provided with a water outlet. One end of the circulation pipeline 40 is connected to the water outlet, and the other end is connected to the rotating spray assembly 50. The circulation pump 30 is disposed in the circulation pipeline 40 and is used to draw water out of the washing drum 20 and transport it to the rotating spray assembly 50 through the circulation pipeline 40. The outlet of the rotating spray assembly 50 is located inside the washing drum 20 and is used to spray and clean the clothes in the washing drum 20.
[0029] For example, the clothing includes plush toys.
[0030] For example, the washing drum 20 can operate at a fixed or variable speed during the washing process to meet different washing needs.
[0031] It is understood that when using the cleaning device 100 of this application embodiment, water needs to be introduced into the washing drum 20 first, so that the water level in the washing drum 20 reaches the preset water level, and then the circulation pump 30 is turned on, so that the water in the washing drum 20 is drawn out by the circulation pump 30 and transported to the rotating spray assembly 50 through the circulation pipeline 40 for spraying. After the water sprayed into the washing drum 20 cleans the plush toy, it is drawn out again by the circulation pump 30, and the cycle is repeated to achieve continuous spray cleaning of the plush toy.
[0032] The cleaning device 100 provided in this application embodiment, by setting up a circulation pump 30, a circulation pipeline 40 and a rotating spray assembly 50, allows the washing water in the washing drum 20 to be drawn out by the circulation pump 30 and transported to the rotating spray assembly 50 through the circulation pipeline 40. Under the rotating spray action of the rotating spray assembly 50, the plush toys in the washing drum 20 are sprayed and cleaned. Compared with the soaking washing method, the rotating spray washing method can reduce the amount of water soaked in the plush toys, thus improving the drying speed of the plush toys after washing and preventing problems such as mold and odor caused by washing.
[0033] For example, the washing device 100 further includes an inner drum disposed inside the washing drum 20, and the outlet of the rotating spray assembly 50 is located inside the inner drum. It is understood that clothing (e.g., plush toys) is placed in the inner drum for washing during the washing process.
[0034] For example, during the washing of a plush toy, the washing drum 20 can be rotated at a certain speed so that the plush toy can remain in contact with the inner wall of the drum. At this time, the water sprayed by the rotating spray assembly 50 reaches the surface of the plush toy and then leaves the plush toy under the centrifugal force of the washing drum 20, thereby further reducing the amount of water absorbed by the plush toy.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 The circulation pipeline 40 is also equipped with a flow-through sterilization module 60 to sterilize and disinfect the water flow in the circulation pipeline 40.
[0036] For example, the flow-through sterilization module 60 includes an ultraviolet lamp.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 The flow-through sterilization module 60 is disposed between the circulating pump 30 and the rotary spray assembly 50.
[0038] Understandably, by installing a flow-through sterilization module 60 in the circulation pipe 40 to sterilize and disinfect the water flow in the circulation pipe 40, the microorganisms in the washing water can be reduced or eliminated. Some of these microorganisms are originally present in the washing water, while others are washed off from the surface of the plush toy. By eliminating these microorganisms, the plush toy can have a high degree of cleanliness after washing, avoiding problems such as mold and odor during the drying process.
[0039] For example, the rotary spray assembly 50 includes a rotary nozzle with one or more spray ports.
[0040] Understandably, because the rotating nozzle rotates during the spraying process, the water jets from the rotating nozzle can spray the plush toy from all 360°, thus ensuring that all areas of the plush toy's surface are cleaned and improving the cleaning effect.
[0041] For example, the angle between the direction of the water flow exiting the spray nozzle and the radial direction of the rotating nozzle is an acute angle, such as 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 80°, 85°, etc.
[0042] It should be noted that by setting the angle between the direction of the water flow exiting the spray nozzle and the radius of the rotating nozzle to an acute angle, the water flow can generate a component force tangential to the circumference of the rotating nozzle when it is sprayed. According to Newton's third law, the water flow will generate a reaction force on the nozzle. The tangential component of the reaction force will cause the rotating nozzle to be subjected to torque, thereby driving the rotating nozzle to rotate rapidly and thus spraying water evenly.
[0043] For example, the rotational speed of the rotary nozzle is from 10 rpm to 400 rpm, such as 10 rpm, 50 rpm, 100 rpm, 150 rpm, 200 rpm, 250 rpm, 300 rpm, 350 rpm, 400 rpm, etc.
[0044] For example, the rotating nozzle is provided with a Venturi pressurization structure.
[0045] It should be noted that by incorporating a Venturi pressurizing structure within the rotating nozzle, the water flow can be pressurized, resulting in a greater pressure and range of water jets. This provides a stronger rinsing force for plush toys, improving the cleaning effect. Furthermore, because the Venturi pressurizing structure causes changes in speed and pressure within the rotating nozzle, when the water is ejected at a higher speed, it is further dispersed into finer droplets, achieving a better atomization effect. This further reduces the degree of wetting of plush toys.
[0046] For example, the circulating pump 30 is a DC-DC inverter dual-purpose pump.
[0047] It should be noted that by setting the circulation pump 30 as a DC inverter dual-purpose pump, the speed of the DC inverter dual-purpose pump motor can be adjusted according to the size and / or weight of the plush toy in the washing drum 20, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the DC inverter dual-purpose pump. For example, when the plush toy in the washing drum 20 is large in size and / or heavy in weight, the motor of the DC inverter dual-purpose pump can be controlled to run at a higher speed to generate a larger flow rate; when the plush toy in the washing drum 20 is large in size and / or light in weight, the motor of the DC inverter dual-purpose pump can be controlled to run at a lower speed to generate a smaller flow rate. Thus, energy saving can be achieved while meeting different washing needs.
[0048] For example, the motor speed of the DC-DC inverter pump is from 10 rpm to 2000 rpm, such as 10 rpm, 100 rpm, 200 rpm, 400 rpm, 600 rpm, 800 rpm, 1000 rpm, 1200 rpm, 1400 rpm, 1600 rpm, 1800 rpm, 2000 rpm, etc.
[0049] For example, the washing drum 20 is provided with a weight detection module to detect the weight information of the clothes in the washing drum 20; the washing device 100 also includes a processing unit, the weight detection module and the circulation pump 30 are respectively communicatively or electrically connected to the processing unit, the weight detection module transmits the detected weight information to the processing unit, and the processing unit controls the flow rate of the circulation pump 30 according to the weight information of the clothes.
[0050] Please see Figure 1 The cleaning device 100 also includes a drain pipe 70, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the circulating pump 30.
[0051] It is understandable that by connecting one end of the drain pipe 70 to the outlet of the circulation pump 30, the wastewater can be discharged at the end of the washing process.
[0052] For example, the cleaning device 100 can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer combo.
[0053] For example, the washing device 100 can be a top-loading washing machine or a front-loading washing machine.
[0054] Please see Figure 1 The cleaning device 100 of this application embodiment can be operated in the following manner:
[0055] After the plush toy is placed in the washing drum 20, the weight of the plush toy in the washing drum 20 is detected by the weight detection module through the weighing program. After the detection is completed, the weight information of the plush toy is imported into the washing program. The washing program starts the water inlet function. After the water is filled to the corresponding water level, the circulation pump 30 is controlled to start the circulation function. The fan blades of the circulation pump 30 rotate at a fixed speed or a speed matched with the weight information. The fan blades rotate, driving the water flow along the circulation pipe 40. When the water flows through the flow-through sterilization module 60, the sterilization and purification process is completed. Then the water flow continues to flow forward and reaches the rotating spray assembly 50. During the rotation, the rotating spray assembly 50 sprays water onto the plush toy in a 360° rotating manner to achieve the washing of the plush toy.

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.
