Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial washing machine technology, and more specifically, relates to an industrial washing machine equipped with a drying mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] An industrial washing machine is a device specifically designed for use in commercial, industrial, or large institutional environments to wash large quantities of clothing and fabrics (such as hotel sheets, duvet covers, and towels; hospital gowns and surgical drapes; and factory work clothes).
[0003] Staff often find that many industrial washing machines with drying mechanisms dry by blowing hot air into the inner drum. However, most of the current air inlets are fixed and single, which makes the airflow uneven and not comprehensive enough, easily causing large temperature differences and reducing drying efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an industrial washing machine equipped with a drying mechanism.
[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, an industrial washing machine with a drying mechanism is provided, comprising a casing, a door hinged to the casing, an outer drum fixedly connected to the casing, an inner drum rotatably connected to the outer drum, a first motor fixedly connected to the casing, the output shaft of the first motor fixedly connected to the inner drum, a drying structure provided on the casing, the drying structure mainly consisting of a fan, the fan fixedly connected to one side of the casing, a heating wire fixedly connected to the output pipe of the fan, a flexible hose fixedly connected to the output pipe of the fan, an arc-shaped pipe fixedly connected to one end of the flexible hose, a plurality of air outlets opened on the arc-shaped pipe, a sliding groove opened on the inner wall of the outer drum, a slider slidably connected in the sliding groove, the slider fixedly connected to the arc-shaped pipe, and an insulation sleeve fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output pipe of the fan.
[0006] Place the items to be washed in the inner drum. After washing, turn on the fan. The fan transmits outdoor air through a flexible hose to the arc-shaped tube, and then outputs it through several air outlets to increase the airflow area. At this time, the heating wire is activated to heat the airflow. The insulation sleeve is made of fiberglass, which can reduce heat loss. The first motor is started, and the output shaft of the first motor drives the inner drum to rotate, which in turn causes the clothes to roll in the inner drum. During the drying process, the sliding slider moves back and forth, causing the arc-shaped tube to move back and forth, which makes the airflow more even and comprehensive, improving the drying effect. This avoids the situation where most of the current air inlets are fixed and single, resulting in uneven airflow and large temperature differences, which reduces the drying efficiency.
[0007] According to the industrial washing machine of the first aspect of this utility model, two racks are fixedly connected to the slider, and half gears are meshed on the racks. Two rotating shafts are rotatably inserted into the outer drum, and the rotating shafts are fixedly connected to the half gears. Simultaneous rotation of the two rotating shafts drives the two half gears to rotate synchronously. When the right half gear meshes with the rack, it causes the rack to move upward. When the smooth surface of the right half gear contacts the rack, the left half gear meshes with the left rack, causing the rack to move downward. This reciprocating motion makes operation more convenient.
[0008] According to the industrial washing machine of the first aspect of this utility model, a pulley is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and a drive belt is provided on both pulleys. When one rotating shaft rotates, it drives one pulley to rotate, and under the action of the drive belt, the two rotating shafts rotate synchronously.
[0009] According to the industrial washing machine of the first aspect of this utility model, a second motor is fixedly connected to the casing, and the output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. When the second motor is started, its output shaft drives the rotating shaft to rotate, further improving the ease of operation.
[0010] According to the first aspect of the present invention, an industrial washing machine is provided with a dustproof structure on the casing. The dustproof structure mainly consists of a dust cover, which is fixedly connected to one side of the casing. A filter plate is provided on the dust cover. The filter plate can filter larger particles of impurities during the fan's suction process, thereby improving the cleanliness of the hot air.
[0011] According to the industrial washing machine of the first aspect of this utility model, the filter plate has two sliding grooves, a sliding plate is slidably connected in the sliding grooves, and a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the sliding plate. Two limiting grooves are formed on the inner wall of the dust cover. After the filter plate is installed, the sliding plate moves the limiting rod, causing it to engage in the corresponding limiting groove, facilitating the installation and removal of the filter plate and thus facilitating cleaning.
[0012] According to the industrial washing machine of the first aspect of this utility model, a spring is fixedly connected to the sliding plate, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. When the limiting rod is engaged in the limiting groove, the spring is in a contracted state, so the spring's rebound force acts on the sliding plate, making the installation more stable.
[0013] According to the industrial washing machine of the first aspect of this utility model, a knob is rotatably connected to the filter plate, and two pull ropes are fixedly connected to the knob. The pull ropes are fixedly connected to the sliding plate. The operator can rotate the knob to drive the two pull ropes to wind, thereby causing the two sliding plates to slide, further improving the convenience of operation.
[0014] One of the above-described technical solutions of this utility model has at least one of the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0015] In this industrial washing machine, a drying structure is incorporated. Items to be washed are placed in the inner drum. After washing, the fan is activated, drawing outdoor air through a flexible hose to an arc-shaped tube, which then exits through several air outlets, increasing the airflow area. The heating element is activated to heat the passing air. A fiberglass insulation sleeve minimizes heat loss. The first motor is then activated, its output shaft rotating the inner drum, causing the clothes to tumble within. During the drying process, a sliding slider moves back and forth, causing the arc-shaped tube to reciprocate, resulting in more even and comprehensive airflow and improved drying efficiency. This avoids the problem of uneven and inefficient drying caused by fixed, single air inlets, which often leads to large temperature differences. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following disclosure provides many different implementation methods or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model.
[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an industrial washing machine with a drying mechanism is provided, including a casing 1, a door 2 hinged to the casing 1, an outer drum 3 fixedly connected to the casing 1, an inner drum 4 rotatably connected to the outer drum 3, a first motor 5 fixedly connected to the casing 1, and the output shaft of the first motor 5 fixedly connected to the inner drum 4.
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, a drying structure 6 is provided on the housing 1. The drying structure 6 is mainly composed of a fan 61. The fan 61 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1. A heating wire 62 is fixedly connected to the output pipe of the fan 61. A flexible hose 64 is fixedly connected to the output pipe of the fan 61. One end of the flexible hose 64 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped pipe 63. Several air outlets 65 are opened on the arc-shaped pipe 63. A sliding groove 66 is opened on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 3. A slider 67 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 66. The slider 67 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped pipe 63. An insulation sleeve 614 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output pipe of the fan 61.
[0029] The items to be washed are placed in the inner drum 4. After washing, the fan 61 is turned on. The fan 61 transmits outdoor air through the hose 64 to the arc-shaped tube 63, and then outputs it through several air outlets 65 to increase the air blowing area. At this time, the heating wire 62 is turned on to heat the air flowing through it. The insulation sleeve 614 is made of glass fiber, which can reduce heat loss. The first motor 5 is turned on. The output shaft of the first motor 5 drives the inner drum 4 to rotate, which causes the clothes to roll in the inner drum 4. During the drying process, the sliding slider 67 moves back and forth, causing the arc-shaped tube 63 to move back and forth, which makes the air blowing more even and comprehensive, improving the drying effect. This avoids the situation where the air blowing is not even and comprehensive due to the fixed single air inlet, which easily causes a large temperature difference and reduces the drying efficiency.
[0030] In some embodiments of this utility model, two racks 68 are fixedly connected to the slider 67, and half gears 69 are meshed on the racks 68. Two rotating shafts 610 are rotatably inserted on the outer cylinder 3. The rotating shafts 610 are fixedly connected to the half gears 69. When the two rotating shafts 610 are rotated simultaneously, they drive the two half gears 69 to rotate synchronously. When the right half gear 69 meshes with the rack 68, it will drive the rack 68 to move upward. When the smooth surface of the right half gear 69 contacts the rack 68, the left half gear 69 will mesh with the left rack 68, thereby causing the rack 68 to move downward. This reciprocating motion makes the operation more convenient.
[0031] In some embodiments of this utility model, a pulley 611 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 610, and a transmission belt 612 is provided on both pulleys 611. When one rotating shaft 610 rotates, it will drive one pulley 611 to rotate. Under the action of the transmission belt 612, the two rotating shafts 610 rotate synchronously. A second motor 613 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The output shaft of the second motor 613 is fixedly connected to one rotating shaft 610. When the second motor 613 is started, the output shaft of the second motor 613 drives the rotating shaft 610 to rotate, further improving the convenience of operation.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, a dustproof structure 7 is provided on the housing 1. The dustproof structure 7 is mainly composed of a dust cover 71, which is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1. A filter plate 72 is provided on the dust cover 71. The filter plate 72 can filter larger particles of impurities during the suction process of the fan 61, thereby improving the cleanliness of the hot air. Two sliding grooves 73 are provided on the filter plate 72. A sliding plate 76 is slidably connected in the sliding grooves 73. A limit rod 74 is fixedly connected on the sliding plate 76. Two limit grooves 75 are provided on the inner wall of the dust cover 71.
[0033] After the filter plate 72 is installed, the sliding plate 76 moves the limiting rod 74, causing it to engage in the corresponding limiting groove 75. This facilitates the installation and removal of the filter plate 72, and also makes cleaning easier. A spring 77 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 76, with one end of the spring 77 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 73. When the limiting rod 74 engages in the limiting groove 75, the spring 77 is in a contracted state. Therefore, the rebound force of the spring 77 acts on the sliding plate 76, making the installation more stable. A knob is rotatably connected to the filter plate 72, and two pull ropes 78 are fixedly connected to the knob. The pull ropes 78 are fixedly connected to the sliding plate 76. The operator can rotate the knob to drive the two pull ropes 78 to wind, thereby causing the two sliding plates 76 to slide, further improving the convenience of operation.
[0034] The items to be washed are placed in the inner drum 4. After washing, the fan 61 is turned on. The fan 61 transmits outdoor air through the hose 64 to the arc-shaped tube 63, and then outputs it through several air outlets 65 to increase the air blowing area. At this time, the heating wire 62 is activated to heat the flowing air. The insulation sleeve 614 is made of fiberglass to reduce heat loss. The first motor 5 is started. The output shaft of the first motor 5 drives the inner drum 4 to rotate, which causes the clothes to roll in the inner drum 4. During the drying process, the sliding slider 67 moves back and forth, causing the arc-shaped tube 63 to move back and forth, thus making the air blowing more efficient. The airflow is more even and comprehensive, improving the drying effect and avoiding the situation where the air inlet is mostly fixed and single, resulting in uneven and comprehensive airflow, which can easily cause large temperature differences and reduce drying efficiency. At the same time, rotating the two rotating shafts 610 drives the two half gears 69 to rotate synchronously. When the right half gear 69 meshes with the rack 68, it will drive the rack 68 to move upward. When the smooth surface of the right half gear 69 contacts the rack 68, the left half gear 69 will mesh with the left rack 68, which will cause the rack 68 to move downward. This reciprocating motion makes the operation more convenient.
[0035] When one shaft 610 rotates, it drives one pulley 611 to rotate. Under the action of the transmission belt 612, the two shafts 610 rotate synchronously, starting the second motor 613. The output shaft of the second motor 613 drives the shaft 610 to rotate, further improving the convenience of operation. The filter plate 72 can filter larger particles of impurities during the suction process of the fan 61, improving the cleanliness of the hot air. After the filter plate 72 is installed, the sliding plate 76 drives the limiting rod 74 to move, so that it is locked into the corresponding limiting groove 75, which facilitates the installation and removal of the filter plate 72 and makes cleaning easier. When the limiting rod 74 is locked into the limiting groove 75, the spring 77 is in a contracted state. Therefore, the rebound force of the spring 77 acts on the sliding plate 76, making the installation more stable. The operator can rotate the knob to drive the two pull ropes 78 to wind, thereby making the two sliding plates 76 slide, further improving the convenience of operation.
