Detailed Implementation
[0049] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0050] Before further describing the embodiments of this utility model in detail, the directional terms involved in the embodiments of this utility model, such as "upper part," "lower part," and "side part," are used to refer to... Figure 1 The orientation shown is a reference and does not limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0051] To make the technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the impeller 21 in the drainage structure is located in the impeller cavity 121. Due to the obstruction of the main body 11 around the drain outlet 112, it is impossible to clean the drainage section 12 and the impeller 21.
[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a drainage structure, including: a main body 11, a drainage section 12, and a cleaning channel 13. The drainage section 12 and the cleaning channel 13 are disposed on the main body 11 and are respectively connected to the main body 11. The first end of the main body 11 can be opened or closed. The cleaning channel 13 is disposed on the side of the drainage section 12 near the first end of the main body 11 and is connected to the drainage section 12. The cleaning channel 13 is used to clean debris in the drainage section 12. Wastewater from the clothing processing equipment is discharged into the environment through the drainage section 12 of the drainage structure. When garbage clogs the drainage section, the garbage in the drainage section 12 can be cleaned through the cleaning channel 13, effectively solving the problem of the drainage section 12 being blocked by garbage and unable to work.
[0054] According to some embodiments of this application, the housing 1 includes a main body 11, a drainage section 12, and a cleaning channel 13. The main body 11 is a cylindrical hollow structure, with an inlet 111 and a drain 112. The inlet 111 is connected to the drain of the garment processing device. A drain pump 2 is mounted on the drainage section 12, which is located at the drain 112. The drainage section 12 has an impeller cavity 121, and the impeller 21 of the drain pump 2 is located in the impeller cavity 121. The cleaning channel 13 communicates with the impeller cavity 121. When the first end of the main body 11 is opened, debris in the drainage section 12 can be cleaned through the cleaning channel 13, solving the problems of blockage in the drainage section 12 and impeller 21 entanglement. During cleaning, the debris in the drainage section 12 is removed through the connection between the cleaning channel 13 and the main body 11.
[0055] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, wastewater from the garment processing equipment enters the main body 11 through inlet 111 and is discharged into the environment through drain pump 2 via drain outlet 112 and drain section 12. (Comparison) Figure 2 and Figure 4 It is known that before the cleaning channel 13 was set, the impeller cavity 121 and impeller 21 were blocked by the main body 11, making it impossible to clean the drainage section 12 and impeller 21 through the drain outlet 112. After the cleaning channel 13 was set, the impeller cavity 121 and impeller 21 were no longer blocked by the main body 11. When garbage was wrapped around the impeller 21 of the drainage pump 2 or when there was garbage blockage in the drainage section 12, the garbage in the drainage section 12 could be cleaned through the cleaning channel 13, effectively solving the problem of the impeller 21 being stuck by garbage and unable to work.
[0056] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a first through hole is provided at the first end of the main body 11. The first through hole can be opened or closed, and a cleaning channel 13 is provided on the side of the drainage section 12 near the first through hole. The cleaning channel 13 is located on the side of the drainage section 12 near the first through hole, which facilitates the cleaning of debris and impeller 21 through the cleaning channel 13 when the first through hole is open. Figure 3 Taking the orientation shown as an example, the first end of the main body 11 is the right end of the main body 11.
[0057] According to some embodiments of this application, the drain outlet 112 is provided near the first end of the main body 11, and the cleaning channel 13 extends from the first end of the main body 11 to the drain section 12. During cleaning, the garbage and debris on the drain section 12 and the impeller 21 can be cleaned manually.
[0058] According to some embodiments of this application, the drain outlet 112 is located at a position far from the first end of the main body 11, and the cleaning channel 13 is located on the side of the drain outlet 112 close to the first end of the main body 11. During cleaning, tools (such as tweezers) can be used to reach into the cleaning channel 13 to clean the garbage and debris on the drain section 12 and the impeller 21.
[0059] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning channel 13 is a protrusion provided on the main body 11, and the cleaning channel 13 protrudes radially away from the axis of the main body 11; the cleaning channel 13 extends from the drain outlet 112 toward the first end of the main body 11 along the axial direction of the main body 11. Figure 3 Taking the orientation shown as an example, the first end of the main body 11 is the right end of the main body 11. The drainage part 12 is provided on the main body 11 and extends away from the main body 11. The cleaning channel 13 protrudes away from the axis of the main body 11, which helps to increase the intersection area between the drainage part 12 and the cleaning channel 13, and facilitates the cleaning of garbage in the drainage part 12.
[0060] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the cleaning channel 13 is arc-shaped, rectangular, U-shaped, or trapezoidal, and the cross-section of the cleaning channel 13 is perpendicular to the axis of the main body 11. For example, the cleaning channel 13 includes two straight walls parallel to the axis of the drain outlet 112 and an arc-shaped wall connecting the two straight walls. In this case, the cross-sectional shape of the cleaning channel 13 perpendicular to the axis of the main body 11 is U-shaped; or, the cleaning channel 13 includes an arc-shaped wall. In this case, the cross-sectional shape of the cleaning channel 13 perpendicular to the axis of the main body 11 is arc-shaped; or, the cleaning channel 13 includes two straight walls and another straight wall connecting the two straight walls. In this case, the cross-sectional shape of the cleaning channel 13 perpendicular to the axis of the main body 11 is rectangular or trapezoidal.
[0061] Furthermore, the height to which the cleaning channel 13 protrudes radially away from the axis of the main body 11 is defined as a first height. The first height gradually decreases from the drain section 12 towards the first end of the main body 11; alternatively, the first height remains constant from the drain section 12 towards the first end of the main body 11. Figure 3 As shown, the first height is the protrusion height of the cleaning channel 13 relative to the axis of the main body 11. The setting of the first height ensures the effective intersection area between the drainage section 12 and the cleaning channel 13, which is beneficial for cleaning up the garbage in the drainage section 12.
[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the starting point of the protrusion of the cleaning channel 13 is located at the first end of the main body 11. In other embodiments, when the drain outlet 112, the drain section 12, and the drain pump 2 are located far from the first end of the main body 11, there is a preset distance between the starting point of the protrusion of the cleaning channel 13 and the first end of the main body 11. The preset distance and the extension length of the cleaning channel 13 along the axis of the main body 11 can be designed according to requirements, as long as it can clean the drain section 12 and the impeller 21.
[0063] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the arrangement of the cleaning channel 13 increases the area of the drain outlet 112, reducing the drainage efficiency and flow rate of the drainage pump 2. In order to reduce the impact of the cleaning channel 13 on the drainage efficiency and flow rate during the drainage process, the drainage structure also includes a water-blocking component 3. The water-blocking component 3 is arranged in the cleaning channel 13, or the water-blocking component 3 covers the connection between the cleaning channel 13 and the main body 11.
[0064] According to some embodiments of this application, during cleaning, the water-blocking component 3 is removed, exposing the cleaning channel 13. The drainage section 12, the cleaning channel 13, and the main body 11 are connected. The drainage section 12 and the impeller 21 are cleaned by hand or tool by inserting into the impeller cavity 121 of the drainage section 12 through the cleaning channel 13. After cleaning, the water-blocking component 3 is installed, and the cleaning channel 13 opens towards the opening of the receiving cavity, blocking the cleaning channel 13 and reducing its impact on drainage efficiency.
[0065] According to some embodiments of this application, when the water-blocking component 3 is disposed in the cleaning channel 13, the structure of the water-blocking component 3 is consistent with the internal structure of the cleaning channel 13. When the water-blocking component 3 is disposed in the cleaning channel 13, the water-blocking component 3 fills the interior of the cleaning channel 13, preventing water in the main body 11 from flowing into the cleaning channel 13. The water-blocking component 3 can be made of plastic, foam, or rubber. The water-blocking component 3 is fixed in the cleaning channel 13 or on the main body 11.
[0066] The following describes how the water-blocking component 3 covers the connection between the cleaning channel 13 and the main body 11. In this case, the water-blocking component 3 is a baffle:
[0067] According to some embodiments of this application, in the first configuration, a first through hole is provided at the first end of the main body 11, and a detachable cover 4 is provided on the first through hole. A water-blocking component 3 is provided on the cover 4. The cover 4 is threadedly connected to the first through hole. When cleaning, the water-blocking component 3 is removed when the cover 4 is removed, exposing the cleaning channel 13. The drainage part 12, the cleaning channel 13 and the main body 11 are connected, which facilitates cleaning the impeller cavity 121 and the impeller 21 by hand or tool through the cleaning channel 13 into the drainage part 12. After cleaning, the water-blocking component 3 is installed after the cover 4 is installed, which can reduce the impact of the cleaning channel 13 on the drainage efficiency.
[0068] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the second configuration, the drainage structure also includes a filter structure 5, which is positioned along the water flow path between the inlet 111 and the outlet 112. A water-blocking component 3 is mounted on the filter structure 5. The filter structure 5 filters large debris such as coins from the water. Installing or removing the filter structure 5 also allows for the installation or removal of the water-blocking component 3, improving its efficiency. Furthermore, the filter structure 5 is connected to the cover 4, allowing for the installation or removal of both the filter structure 5 and the water-blocking component 3.
[0069] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the third configuration, the main body 11 includes a slot 113, which is located at the connection between the main body 11 and the cleaning channel 13, and the water-blocking member 3 is inserted into the slot 113.
[0070] According to some embodiments of this application, the length of the slot 113 extends along the axial direction of the main body 11, and the outer edge of the water-blocking member 3, which is parallel to the axial direction of the main body 11, is inserted into the slot 113.
[0071] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 8 As shown, in the fourth configuration, the main body 11 includes a slot 114, which is located at the first end of the cleaning channel 13 near the main body 11; the water-blocking component 3 is provided with a buckle 32, which engages with the slot 114. The water-blocking component 3 can be installed and removed by bending the buckle 32.
[0072] According to some embodiments of this application, the third setting method and the fourth setting method can be set simultaneously.
[0073] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the end of the water-blocking component 3 furthest from the first end of the main body 11 is located at the drain outlet 112. An arc-shaped groove 33 is provided at the end of the water-blocking component 3 located at the drain outlet 112. The arc-shaped groove 33 and the drain outlet 112 are concentric and have the same radius, so that the size of the drain outlet 112 remains unchanged when the water-blocking component 3 blocks the cleaning channel 13, reducing the impact on drainage efficiency. Alternatively, the end of the water-blocking component 3 located at the drain outlet 112 can be a straight surface. To ensure the cleaning effect on the drainage section 12, the connection between the cleaning channel 13 and the main body 11 extends to the drain outlet 112, and the end of the water-blocking component 3 furthest from the first end of the main body 11 extends to the drain outlet 112, which helps to reduce the impact of the cleaning channel 13 on drainage efficiency.
[0074] According to some embodiments of this application, this application also provides a garment processing device, which is provided with the above-mentioned drainage structure, and the drainage structure is connected to the garment processing device.
[0075] The drainage structure may also include a circulation section 14, with a circulation inlet on the main body 11. A circulation pump 6 is installed on the circulation section 14. Drainage from the laundry processing equipment enters the main body 11 through the inlet 111, is filtered by the filter structure 5, and can then be discharged into the environment through the drain outlet 112 under the action of the drain pump 2. Alternatively, it can be returned to the washing drum for secondary use through the circulation inlet and the circulation pump 6.
[0076] This embodiment shows the installation positions of the drainage pump 2 and the circulation pump 6, as follows: Figures 9 to 12 As shown.
[0077] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the inlet 111, the drain 12, and the circulation section 14 are located on the same side of the axis of the main body 11. The circulation section 14 is located near the second end of the main body 11, and the drain 12 is located between the inlet 111 and the circulation section 14. In this case, the interference between the cleaning channel and the inlet 111 needs to be considered when setting up the cleaning channel.
[0078] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, the circulation section 14 is located near the second end of the main body 11, and the inlet 111 and the drain section 12 are respectively located on both sides of the axis of the main body 11. The circulation section 14 is located on the same side as the inlet 111 or on the same side as the drain section 12. The projections of the inlet 111, the drain section 12, and the circulation section 14 onto the axis of the main body 11 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the main body 11, with the inlet 111 located near the first end of the main body 11. At this time, as... Figures 3 to 8 The cleanup channel is set as shown.
