[0002] With the continuous development of society, people have increasingly higher requirements for laundry equipment. They not only demand that it efficiently complete the washing, dehydration, and drying of clothes, but also hope that it can be more intelligent and automated, reducing manual intervention and improving washing efficiency and quality. While existing washer-dryer combos meet these needs to some extent, some problems still exist. For example, patent number 202323284056.8 discloses a multi-functional washer-dryer combo. Although this combo has two washing drums, enabling it to sort and wash clothes, thus improving washing efficiency...

[0003] Some existing washer-dryer combos use a relatively simple, continuous rotation of clothes within the drum during the washing process. This can lead to clothes piling up in certain areas, preventing thorough cleaning and affecting the washing effect. Therefore, designing a washer-dryer combo that can achieve all-around cleaning of clothes is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] This utility model provides an automatic washer-dryer combo machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This automatic washer-dryer combo utilizes a combination of a swinging component and a rotating component to enable the drum to achieve a combined motion of reciprocating oscillation and high-speed rotation. This allows clothes to move omnidirectionally within the drum, preventing localized accumulation and achieving thorough cleaning, thus significantly improving the cleaning effect. Specifically, the first motor in the swinging component drives the drum to swing back and forth via a linkage, while the second motor in the rotating component drives the drum to rotate at high speed. The combination of these two motions causes the clothes to tumble and tumble continuously within the drum, increasing friction between the clothes and the water flow, improving cleaning efficiency, and better removing stains from the clothes. This solves the problem of existing washer-dryer combos failing to achieve omnidirectional cleaning during the washing process.

[0018] 2. By incorporating heating rods within the lifting ribs, the traditional drying method is transformed, resulting in a more efficient and uniform drying process. During drying, the heating rods directly heat the lifting ribs, which then transfer the heat to the clothes. This heating method ensures more even heating of the clothes, preventing localized overheating or underheating, thereby improving drying quality and extending the lifespan of the garments. Furthermore, because the heating rods are located inside the lifting ribs, the heat is better absorbed by the clothes, increasing heat utilization, shortening drying time, and further improving washing efficiency. This solves the problem of uneven heating of clothes during the drying process in existing washer-dryer combos. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic washer-dryer, including a housing 1, two rollers 3 and a drive component, wherein the two rollers 3 are rotatably installed inside the housing 1.

[0026] The driving components include a swing assembly and a rotation assembly. Both the swing assembly and the rotation assembly are connected to the rollers 3 via a transmission. The swing assembly drives the two rollers 3 to swing back and forth, and the rotation assembly drives the two rollers 3 to rotate at high speed.

[0027] The rotating assembly includes two second motors 15, which are respectively connected to two rollers 3 for transmission. The second motors 15 drive the rollers 3 to rotate at high speed.

[0028] The swing assembly includes a first motor 6, which is fixedly mounted on the housing 1. The first motor 6 is connected to two rollers 3 for transmission, and the first motor 6 drives the two rollers 3 to swing back and forth.

[0029] The combined use of the oscillating and rotating components allows the drum 3 to achieve two different motion modes, providing power support for omnidirectional washing of clothes. Specifically, the oscillating component, driven by the first motor 6, enables the drum 3 to oscillate back and forth. This oscillating motion causes the clothes to tumble and tumble continuously within the drum 3, increasing the friction between the clothes and the water flow and improving washing efficiency. The rotating component, driven by the second motor 15, enables the drum 3 to rotate at high speed. This rotation creates centrifugal force within the drum 3, further enhancing the friction between the clothes and the water flow, and also helping to spin-dry the clothes, preparing them for the subsequent drying process. The combination of these two motion modes allows the clothes to move omnidirectionally within the drum 3, preventing localized accumulation of clothes and achieving omnidirectional washing, effectively improving the washing effect.

[0030] Specifically, the second motor 15 is fixedly mounted on the housing 1.

[0031] This installation method ensures that the second motor 15 remains stable during operation, preventing vibrations from affecting the rotation of the roller 3. Furthermore, fixing the second motor 15 to the housing 1 facilitates motor maintenance and repair, improving the reliability and maintainability of the equipment.

[0032] Specifically, the swing assembly also includes two linkage components. The first motor 6 is driven by one linkage component, and the other linkage component is driven by the other linkage component. The two linkage components are respectively driven by the two rollers 3.

[0033] Among them, the linkage component, as an important transmission part in the oscillating assembly, functions to transmit the power of the first motor 6 to the drum 3, enabling the drum 3 to oscillate back and forth. By setting two linkage components, it is possible to ensure that the two drums 3 remain synchronized during the oscillation process, making the washing process more stable and efficient. At the same time, the design of the linkage component also makes the power transmission smoother, reduces energy loss, and improves the operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0034] More specifically, the linkage includes a pulley 7, a rotating plate 9, a slotted plate 12, a rack 11, and a gear 13. The pulley 7 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1 or fixedly mounted on the output shaft end of the first motor 6. The rack 11 is slidably mounted on the housing 1, and the gear 13 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1, with the rack 11 meshing with the gear 13. The slotted plate 12 is fixedly connected to the rack 11, and a sliding groove is provided on the slotted plate 12. One end of the rotating plate 9 is fixedly connected to the pulley 7. The rotation of the pulley 7 drives the rotating plate 9 to rotate. A locking rod 10 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the rotating plate 9 away from the pulley 7. The locking rod 10 is inserted into the sliding groove of the slotted plate 12, and the locking rod 10 is slidably connected to the slotted plate 12 through the sliding groove.

[0035] This linkage design converts the rotational motion of the first motor 6 into the reciprocating oscillating motion of the roller 3. When the first motor 6 starts, its output shaft drives the pulley 7 to rotate. The rotation of the pulley 7 drives the locking rod 10 to slide within the groove of the locking plate 12 via the rotating plate 9, thereby causing the locking plate 12 to push the rack 11 to slide reciprocally along the housing 1. The reciprocating sliding of the rack 11 drives the reciprocating rotation of the gear 13, thus realizing the reciprocating oscillation of the gear 13, which in turn drives the roller 3 to oscillate reciprocally. This transmission method not only achieves precise motion control but also ensures the stability and reliability of the roller 3 during the oscillation process.

[0036] More specifically, gear 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of roller 3, and the two are on the same central axis.

[0037] This connection method ensures efficient transmission between gear 13 and roller 3, allowing roller 3 to accurately oscillate in accordance with the reciprocating rotation of gear 13. Furthermore, positioning gear 13 and roller 3 on the same central axis guarantees the balance and stability of roller 3 during oscillation, preventing vibration or noise caused by eccentric motion and improving the equipment's operational quality and service life.

[0038] More specifically, the second motor 15 is fixedly mounted on the gear 13, and the output shaft of the second motor 15 and the gear 13 are on the same central axis. The output shaft of the second motor 15 is fixedly mounted on the roller 3, and the output shaft of the second motor 15 and the roller 3 are coaxial.

[0039] This installation method enables direct transmission between the second motor 15 and the drum 3, ensuring stable and efficient power support for the drum 3 during high-speed rotation. Furthermore, by placing the second motor 15 and gear 13 on the same central axis and making the output shaft of the second motor 15 coaxial with the drum 3, transmission efficiency is further improved, energy loss is reduced, and the balance and stability of the drum 3 during rotation are ensured, making the washing process more efficient and reliable.

[0040] Specifically, the pulleys 7 on the two linkage components are connected by a belt 8.

[0041] This transmission connection method ensures the synchronization of movement between the two linked components, allowing the two rollers 3 to maintain consistent motion during oscillation. The belt drive 8 offers advantages such as simple structure, smooth transmission, and low noise, effectively reducing vibration and impact during transmission and improving the operational stability and reliability of the equipment. Furthermore, the belt drive 8 is easy to install and adjust, allowing for flexible adjustment of the transmission ratio to meet the requirements of different washing programs.

[0042] Specifically, multiple lifting ribs 4 are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the roller 3. The lifting ribs 4 have an installation cavity inside, and a heating rod 5 is fixedly installed inside the installation cavity of the lifting ribs 4.

[0043] The lifting ribs 4 function to lift and tumble the clothes during the rotation of the drum 3, increasing friction between the clothes and the water flow and improving the washing effect. The heating rod 5 is placed inside the mounting cavity of the lifting ribs 4, which not only makes full use of space and avoids damage to the clothes, but also allows for more even heat distribution. During the drying process, the heat generated by the heating rod 5 is transferred to the clothes through the lifting ribs 4, ensuring more even heating and preventing localized overheating or undercooling, thus improving drying quality and extending the lifespan of the clothes. This heating method also improves heat utilization, shortens drying time, and further enhances washing efficiency. The heating rod 5 may include, but is not limited to, commercially available waterproof heating rods; its structure and working principle will not be elaborated further.

[0044] A cover plate 2 is hinged to the drum 3. A water outlet pipe 14 is installed on the housing 1, and a control valve is installed on the water outlet pipe 14. The outflow end of the water outlet pipe 14 is connected to the drum 3. The automatic washer-dryer integrated machine shown in this technical solution also includes other accessories, such as a water inlet pipe, to meet the normal implementation and actual implementation needs of the equipment.

[0045] When using, open the cover 2, put the clothes into the two rollers 3, and then close the cover 2.

[0046] The first motor 6 is started, driving the pulley 7 to rotate. This, via the belt 8, drives the two pulleys 7 to rotate, causing the locking rod 10 on one side of the rotating plate 9 to move inside the slot plate 12. This causes the rack 11 to move back and forth, driving the gear 13 to rotate intermittently in both directions. This, in turn, causes the clothes inside the roller 3 on one side of the second motor 15 to rotate intermittently in both directions, achieving thorough cleaning. The lifting ribs 4 enhance friction and rubbing, achieving a tumbling cleaning effect and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0047] After washing, open the water outlet pipe 14, and the washed water will flow out from the water outlet pipe 14. Turn on the second motor 15 to drive the drum 3 to rotate at high speed to dehydrate the clothes. After dehydration, turn on the heating rod 5 to dry the clothes.
