[0001] The utility model relates to clothes processing technical field, especially a clothes processing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Clothes processing devices such as drum washing machines, washing and drying integrated machines, etc. are clothes processing equipment that utilizes mechanical rotary motion generated by electric energy to wash clothes, and are very popular. With the improvement of consumers' living standards, the requirements for clothes processing devices are also getting higher and higher.

[0003] Related clothes processing devices usually include a cabinet and a drum assembly arranged in the cabinet, the drum assembly is provided with a clothes processing cavity, and a lifting rib is usually arranged on the inner wall of the clothes processing cavity. During the rotation of the drum assembly, the lifting rib can lift the clothes to a certain height and then drop, thereby achieving the effect of clothes washing.

[0004] In related clothes processing devices, the structure and function of the lifting rib are relatively simple, the clothes washing is not uniform enough, and the clothes processing cavity is prone to uneven loading. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0005] The utility model aims at providing a clothes processing device to optimize the structure of the lifting rib, improve the uniformity of clothes washing, and reduce the occurrence of uneven loading in the clothes processing cavity.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: According to one aspect of the present invention, a garment processing device is provided, comprising: a housing configured as an outer shell of the garment processing device; a cylindrical assembly disposed within the housing, the cylindrical assembly forming a garment processing cavity; and a lifting rib disposed within the cylindrical assembly and on the cavity wall of the garment processing cavity; the lifting rib being rotatable synchronously with the cylindrical assembly; wherein the lifting rib has a water-receiving cavity; the water-receiving cavity has an isolation pad, one end of the isolation pad being fixed to an inner wall of the lifting rib, and the other end of the isolation pad being movably abutting against another opposite inner wall of the lifting rib, thereby dividing the water-receiving cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity; the first cavity is located on the side of the isolation pad near the cavity wall of the garment processing cavity, and the second cavity is located on the side of the isolation pad near the cavity wall of the garment processing cavity. The isolation pad is located on the side of the cavity wall away from the clothing processing chamber; the outer wall of the lifting rib is provided with a first through hole connecting the first cavity and a second through hole connecting the second cavity; the area above the plane where the axis of the cylindrical assembly is located is the upper region of the clothing processing chamber, and the area below the plane where the axis of the cylindrical assembly is located is the lower region of the clothing processing chamber; when the lifting rib rotates to the lower region of the clothing processing chamber, water in the clothing processing chamber can enter the interior of the first cavity through the first through hole; when the lifting rib rotates to the upper region of the clothing processing chamber, water in the first cavity can push aside the movable side of the isolation pad and enter the interior of the second cavity, and water in the second cavity can be sprayed downwards onto the clothing in the clothing processing chamber through the second through hole.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: The water-receiving cavity of the lifting rib can be divided into a first cavity and a second cavity by the internal isolation pad. By utilizing the isolation pad in conjunction with the first and second through holes, when the lifting rib rotates to the lower region of the garment processing cavity, water from the garment processing cavity can enter the lifting rib and temporarily remain in the first cavity. When the lifting rib continues to rotate to the upper region of the garment processing cavity, the gravity of the water in the first cavity pushes open the movable side of the isolation pad, allowing the water in the first cavity to enter the second cavity and merge with the water in the second cavity. Furthermore, the water in the second cavity can be sprayed downwards through the second through hole onto the clothes in the garment processing cavity. Thus, a spraying effect can be achieved through the second through hole, evenly wetting the clothes in the garment processing cavity, improving the washing uniformity of the clothes, and reducing the occurrence of uneven load on clothes within the drum assembly.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, the isolation pad is arranged to be inclined towards the second cavity in a direction from the fixed side to the movable side of the isolation pad; when the lifting rib is rotated to the upper region of the clothes treatment cavity, the movable side of the isolation pad is located at the bottom end of the isolation pad, and the water in the first cavity can push open the movable side of the isolation pad under the action of gravity and enter the second cavity.

[0009] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by arranging the isolation pad to be inclined towards the second cavity, the volume of the first cavity can be increased, and when the lifting rib is rotated to the upper region of the clothes treatment cavity, the water in the first cavity can more easily push open the movable side of the isolation pad and enter the second cavity, ensuring that the water in the first cavity can flow smoothly into the second cavity and be sprayed into the clothes treatment cavity through the second through hole, thereby realizing the spraying function of the lifting rib.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, the lifting rib comprises a partition plate arranged in the lifting rib; one end of the partition plate is connected to the circumferential wall of the clothes treatment cavity, and the other end of the partition plate is arranged towards the center of the clothes treatment cavity and connected to the inner wall of the lifting rib; the opposite sides of the partition plate are respectively formed with a water containing cavity; the opposite sides of the partition plate are respectively provided with an isolation pad; one end of the isolation pad is fixed to the inner side wall of the water containing cavity away from the partition plate of the lifting rib, and the other end of the isolation pad is movably abutted on the partition plate.

[0011] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by the partition plate, two water containing cavities can be formed inside the lifting rib, and the two water containing cavities can be respectively directed towards two directions of the circumference of the clothes treatment cavity. The two water containing cavities are respectively divided into a first cavity and a second cavity by an isolation pad. By fixing the fixed side of the isolation pad to the side wall of the water containing cavity away from the partition plate and abutting the movable side of the isolation pad against the partition plate, the water in the first cavity can flow into the second cavity through the gap between the movable side of the isolation pad and the partition plate. By the cooperation of the two water containing cavities and the two isolation pads, there are two groups of first cavities and second cavities in the lifting rib, so that no matter the drum assembly is rotated forward or backward, one group of first cavity and second cavity is working, thereby realizing the spraying function of the lifting rib.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, the side of the lifting rib close to the center of the clothes treatment cavity is provided with a protruding portion, and the partition plate is arranged to extend into the protruding portion.

[0013] The technical scheme has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the structure of the protruding part can increase the height of the lifting ribs and reduce the distance between the lifting ribs and the center of the clothes treatment cavity. During the clothes washing process, the rotation of the lifting ribs can improve the stirring effect of the lifting ribs on the clothes, thereby improving the washing ratio of the clothes washing. In addition, the second cavity can be arranged in the internal space of the protruding part by arranging the partition plate inside the protruding part, so as to fully utilize the internal space of the protruding part and improve the space utilization efficiency in the lifting ribs.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, one end of the partition plate facing the center of the clothes treatment cavity is connected to the inner wall of the protruding part, and the second cavity is located in the protruding part.

[0046] In some embodiments, the box door 11 and the box body 1 can be connected through a hinge, and the box door 11 can rotate around the axis of the hinge, so as to realize the opening and closing of the box door 11 and the opening and closing of the clothes feeding port 10.

[0047] Figure 2 is a sectional view of the drum assembly 2 of some embodiments of the present application.

[0048] As Figures 1 to 2As shown, in some embodiments, the garment processing device may include a tubular assembly 2. The tubular assembly 2 may be disposed within the housing 1. The tubular assembly 2 may extend along the front-rear direction of the housing 1. A garment processing chamber 20 may be formed within the tubular assembly 2. A tubular opening may be formed on the front end face of the tubular assembly 2. This tubular opening communicates with the interior of the garment processing chamber 20. This tubular opening is directly opposite the garment inlet 10 and the door 11 of the housing 1. When the door 11 is opened, garments can be sequentially placed into the garment processing chamber 20 within the tubular assembly 2 through the garment inlet 10 at the front of the housing 1 and the tubular opening at the front end of the tubular assembly 2 for washing, dehydration, and other operations. When the housing 1 is closed, the housing 1 can simultaneously close the garment inlet 10 and the garment processing chamber 20.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the tub assembly 2 may include an outer tub 21. The outer tub 21 may be disposed inside the housing 1. The outer tub 21 may be configured as a tub for containing washing water. The internal space of the outer tub 21 can be used to hold washing liquids, such as water, detergent, fabric softener, etc.

[0050] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the inner cylinder 22 of some embodiments of this utility model.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the tubular assembly 2 may include an inner tub 22. The inner tub 22 may be disposed inside the outer tub 21. A clothes handling chamber 20 may be formed inside the inner tub 22. The clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tub 22 is used to hold clothes to be washed. A water passage hole (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the peripheral wall of the inner tub 22. The clothes handling chamber 20 can connect the space between the inner tub 22 and the outer tub 21 through the water passage hole. The washing liquid in the outer tub 21 can enter the clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tub 22 through the water passage hole, that is, the washing liquid in the space between the inner tub 22 and the outer tub 21 can enter the clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tub 22 through the water passage hole.

[0052] In some embodiments, the inner drum 22 may be rotatably disposed inside the outer drum 21. When the inner drum 22 rotates relative to the outer drum 21, the inner drum 22 can drive the clothes to rotate relative to the outer drum 21, thereby realizing the washing function of the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 20 of the inner drum 22 and improving the uniformity of washing and dehydration of the clothes.

[0053] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the clothing processing chamber 20 can also be used to dry clothes, such as in a dryer or washer-dryer combo.

[0054] In some embodiments, the outer cylinder 21 and the inner cylinder 22 may also be arranged coaxially inside and outside. The front end of the outer cylinder 21 and the front end of the inner cylinder 22 may be provided with openings arranged opposite to each other. The front end opening of the outer cylinder 21 and the front end opening of the inner cylinder 22 can be combined to form the cylinder opening of the cylinder assembly 2.

[0055] In some embodiments, a drive device (not shown in the figure), such as a drive motor, is provided inside the housing 1. The drive device is located outside the outer drum 21 and inside the housing 1. The output end of the drive device extends into the outer drum 21 and is connected to the inner drum 22 for transmission. Therefore, the drive device can drive the inner drum 22 to rotate relative to the outer drum 21, thereby realizing the washing and dehydration functions of the clothes processing chamber 20 in the inner drum 22.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a door seal ring 13 is provided around the periphery of the clothing inlet 10, and the door seal ring 13 is located between the clothing inlet 10 and the opening of the tubular assembly 2. Specifically, the door seal ring 13 is made of an elastic sealing material. The door seal ring 13 has a ring-shaped structure and is arranged around the periphery of the clothing inlet 10 and the periphery of the opening of the tubular assembly 2. The periphery of the front end of the door seal ring 13 is sealed to the periphery of the clothing inlet 10 of the box body 1, and the periphery of the rear end of the door seal ring 13 is sealed to the periphery of the opening of the outer tubular assembly 21, thereby sealing the gap between the clothing inlet 10 of the box body 1 and the opening of the outer tubular assembly 21. Therefore, when the box door 11 closes the clothing inlet 10 at the front of the box body 1, the door seal ring 13 can prevent water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from entering the box body 1, and at the same time, the box door 11 can prevent water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from overflowing from the clothing inlet 10 of the box body 1.

[0057] Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Sectional view along line AA.

[0058] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment handling chamber 20 may include a lifting rib 3, which can rotate synchronously with the drum assembly 2 and is used to lift the garments. The lifting rib 3 may be disposed inside the drum assembly 2 and on the cavity wall of the garment handling chamber 20. When the drum assembly 2 rotates internally, the drum assembly 2 can drive the lifting rib 3 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the lifting rib 3 with the drum assembly 2, the lifting rib 3 can lift the garments to a certain height and then drop them, thereby achieving the function of washing the garments.

[0059] In some embodiments, the lifting rib 3 may be disposed on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 22. The lifting rib 3 may be detachably fixed to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 22. The lifting rib 3 may also be snapped and fixed to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 22. When the inner cylinder 22 rotates relative to the outer cylinder 21, the lifting rib 3 can continuously lift the clothes in the clothes handling chamber 20.

[0060] In some embodiments, the lifting rib 3 may be elongated and may extend along the front-back direction of the garment processing chamber 20. The lifting rib 3 may also extend along the axial direction of the tubular assembly 2 on the peripheral wall of the garment processing chamber 20, meaning the extending direction of the lifting rib 3 may be parallel to the axial direction of the tubular assembly 2. Furthermore, the lifting rib 3 may extend along the axial direction of the tubular assembly 2 on the inner wall of the inner tub 22, thereby improving the agitation effect of the lifting rib 3 on the garments within the garment processing chamber 20 and increasing the washing ratio of the garments.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, multiple lifting ribs 3 are provided, and the multiple lifting ribs 3 are arranged circumferentially at intervals on the peripheral sidewall of the garment processing chamber 20. When the inner drum 22 rotates relative to the outer drum 21, the multiple lifting ribs 3 can sequentially lift the clothes in the garment processing chamber 20, thereby improving the washing efficiency or drying efficiency of the clothes.

[0062] Figure 5 yes Figure 4 Enlarged structural diagram of region B in the middle. Figure 6 yes Figure 4 A magnified structural diagram of region C in the middle.

[0063] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a water-receiving cavity 30 may be provided inside the lifting rib 3. The water-receiving cavity 30 may communicate with the outside of the lifting rib 3 and may communicate with the clothing processing cavity 20. When the lifting rib 3 rotates with the inner cylinder assembly 2, water in the clothing processing cavity 20 can enter the water-receiving cavity 30. When the lifting rib 3 rotates with the inner cylinder 22 to the top of the clothing processing cavity 20, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, water in the water-containing cavity 30 can flow out of the lifting rib 3 and then spray onto the clothes in the clothing treatment cavity 20, increasing the humidity of the clothes.

[0064] In some embodiments, a separating pad 31 is provided inside the water-receiving cavity 30. One end of the separating pad 31 is fixed to an inner wall of the lifting rib 3, and the other end of the separating pad 31 movably abuts against another opposite inner wall of the lifting rib 3. The separating pad 31 can divide the water-receiving cavity 30 into a first cavity 30a and a second cavity 30b. The first cavity 30a and the second cavity 30b can communicate with the outside of the lifting rib 3, thereby allowing the first cavity 30a and the second cavity 30b to communicate with the clothing processing cavity 20. Water entering the first cavity 30a can push open the movable side of the separating pad 31, and then enter the second cavity 30b, and then flow through the second cavity 30b to the outside of the lifting rib 3, sprinkling onto the clothes in the clothing processing cavity 20.

[0065] In some embodiments, the isolation pad 31 may be made of a material such as a rubber pad.

[0066] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the lifting rib 3 may be provided with a first through hole 32 communicating with the first cavity 30a. The first through hole 32 can communicate with the first cavity 30a and the clothing processing cavity 20. Water in the clothing processing cavity 20 can enter the interior of the first cavity 30a through the first through hole 32. Multiple first through holes 32 may be provided, and multiple first through holes 32 are arranged sequentially and at intervals on the outer wall of the lifting rib 3, and each communicates with the interior of the first cavity 30a. Multiple first through holes 32 can increase the water inflow rate from the clothing processing cavity 20 into the first cavity 30a.

[0067] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the lifting rib 3 may be provided with a second through hole 33 communicating with the second cavity 30b. The second through hole 33 can connect the second cavity 30b and the clothing processing chamber 20. Water from the second cavity 30b can flow out of the lifting rib 3 through the second through hole 33 and fall onto the clothing in the clothing processing chamber 20. Multiple second through holes 33 may be provided, arranged sequentially and at intervals on the outer wall of the lifting rib 3, and each communicating with the interior of the second cavity 30b. Multiple second through holes 33 can increase the water flow rate from the second cavity 30b onto the clothing in the clothing processing chamber 20.

[0068] Figure 7 yes Figure 6 Structure diagram in another state.

[0069] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first cavity 30a is disposed on the side of the isolation pad 31 near the cavity wall of the garment processing cavity 20, and the second cavity 30b is disposed on the side of the isolation pad 31 away from the cavity wall of the garment processing cavity 20. The area above the plane where the axis of the tubular assembly 2 is located is the upper region of the garment processing cavity 20, and the area below the plane where the axis of the tubular assembly 2 is located is the lower region of the garment processing cavity. When the tubular assembly 2 drives the lifting rib 3 to rotate synchronously, and the lifting rib 3 rotates to the lower region of the garment processing chamber 20, for example, to the bottom region of the garment processing chamber 20, the lifting rib 3 is submerged in water. Water in the garment processing chamber 20 can preferentially enter the first cavity 30a through the first through hole 32. As the lifting rib 3 rotates, the amount of water entering the first cavity 30a gradually increases. In addition, some water in the garment processing chamber 20 can also enter the second cavity 30b through the second through hole 33.

[0070] When the lifting rib 3 rotates to the upper region of the garment processing cavity 20, for example, to the top region of the garment processing cavity 20, as...Figure 7 As shown, the first cavity 30a is located on the upper side of the isolation pad 31, and the second cavity 30b is located on the lower side of the isolation pad 31. The water in the first cavity 30a can squeeze open the movable side of the isolation pad 31 under its own gravity and enter the interior of the second cavity 30b. Then, the water in the second cavity 30b is sprayed downward through the second through hole 33 onto the clothes in the clothes processing cavity 20.

[0071] The water-containing cavity 30 of the lifting rib 3 can be divided into a first cavity 30a and a second cavity 30b by the isolation pad 31 inside the lifting rib 3. The isolation pad 31, in conjunction with the first through hole 32 and the second through hole 33, allows water from the clothing processing cavity 20 to enter the lifting rib 3 when the lifting rib rotates to the lower region of the clothing processing cavity 20, and temporarily remain in the first cavity 30a. When the lifting rib 3 continues to rotate to the upper region of the clothing processing cavity 20, the gravity of the water in the first cavity 30a pushes open the movable side of the isolation pad 31, allowing the water in the first cavity 30a to enter the second cavity 30b and merge with the water in the second cavity 30b. The water in the second cavity 30b can then be sprayed downwards through the second through hole 33 onto the clothing in the clothing processing cavity 20. In this way, the clothes can be evenly sprayed into the clothes processing chamber 20 through multiple second through holes 33 to achieve a spraying effect, evenly wet the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 20, improve the washing uniformity of the clothes, and reduce the occurrence of uneven loading of clothes in the drum assembly 2.

[0072] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the isolation pad 31 is inclined towards the second cavity 30b in the direction from the fixed side to the movable side. When the lifting rib 3 rotates to the upper region of the garment processing cavity 20, the isolation pad 31 is inclined downwards, with the movable side of the isolation pad 31 located at its bottom. Water in the first cavity 30a can easily push open the movable side of the isolation pad 31 under the action of gravity and enter the second cavity 30b. By arranging the isolation pad 31 inclined towards the second cavity 30b, the volume of the first cavity 30a can be increased, and when the lifting rib 3 rotates to the upper region of the garment processing cavity 20, water in the first cavity 30a can more easily push open the movable side of the isolation pad 31 and enter the second cavity 30b, ensuring that water in the first cavity 30a can flow smoothly into the second cavity 30b and then be sprayed into the garment processing cavity 20 through the second through hole 33, thus realizing the spraying function of the lifting rib 3.

[0073] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting rib 3 may include a partition 34 disposed inside the lifting rib 3. One end of the partition 34 is connected to the peripheral wall of the garment processing cavity 20, and the other end of the partition 34 is arranged towards the center of the garment processing cavity 20 and connected to the inner wall of the lifting rib 3. A water-receiving cavity 30 is formed on each of the opposite sides of the partition 34. An isolation pad 31 may be provided on each of the opposite sides of the partition 34. One end of the isolation pad 31 is fixed to the inner wall of the lifting rib 3 away from the partition 34 of the water-receiving cavity 30, and the other end of the isolation pad 31 is movably abutted against the partition 34. At this time, the partition 34 forms an inner wall of the lifting rib 3. Two water-receiving cavities 30 can be formed inside the lifting rib 3 through the partition 34. The two water-receiving cavities 30 can be oriented towards two different circumferential directions of the garment processing cavity 20, respectively. The two water-receiving cavities 30 are divided into a first cavity 30a and a second cavity 30b by an isolation pad 31, respectively. The fixed side of the isolation pad 31 is located on the side wall of the water-receiving cavity 30 away from the partition 34, and the movable side of the isolation pad 31 abuts against the partition 34, allowing water in the first cavity 30a to flow into the second cavity 30b through the gap between the movable side of the isolation pad 31 and the partition 34. Figure 7 The state shown.

[0075] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, when the inner cylinder 22 rotates forward relative to the outer cylinder 21, one of the water-containing chambers 30 is located on the water-facing side of the lifting rib 3. Water in the clothing processing chamber 20 can enter the first chamber 30a and the second chamber 30b of the water-containing chamber 30 and be sprayed onto the clothing processing chamber 20 through the second chamber 30b.

[0076] Figure 10 yes Figure 4 Structure diagram during reverse rotation. Figure 11 yes Figure 10 Structure diagram in another state.

[0077] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, when the inner cylinder 22 rotates in the opposite direction to the outer cylinder 21, another water-containing cavity 30 is located on the water-facing side of the lifting rib 3. Water in the clothing processing cavity 20 can enter the first cavity 30a and the second cavity 30b of the water-containing cavity 30 and be sprayed onto the clothing processing cavity 20 through the second cavity 30b.

[0078] With the cooperation of two water-containing chambers 30 and two isolation pads 31, there are two sets of first chambers 30a and second chambers 30b inside the lifting rib 3. This ensures that no matter whether the cylinder assembly 2 rotates forward or backward, there is always a set of first chambers 30a and second chambers 30b working, thus realizing the spraying function of the lifting rib 3.

[0079] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a protrusion 35 may be provided on the side of the lifting rib 3 near the center of the clothes processing chamber 20. This protrusion 35 increases the height of the lifting rib 3 and reduces the distance between the lifting rib 3 and the center of the clothes processing chamber 20. During the washing process, as the lifting rib 3 rotates, its cross-sectional area increases, enhancing its agitation effect on the clothes and thus improving the washing ratio. Furthermore, during the dehydration or drying process, the lifting rib 3 rotates with the inner drum 22, increasing its cross-sectional area and creating greater airflow, thereby increasing the airflow within the drum and improving the dehydration or drying effect of the clothes.

[0080] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the partition 34 extends into the interior of the protrusion 35. By extending the partition 34 into the interior of the protrusion 35, the second cavity 30b can be arranged in the interior space of the protrusion 35, making full use of the interior space of the protrusion 35 and improving the space utilization efficiency within the lifting rib 3.

[0081] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the partition 34 facing the center of the garment processing cavity 20 is connected to the inner wall of the protrusion 35, and the second cavity 30b is located inside the protrusion 35, so that the two second cavities 30b on both sides of the partition 34 can be arranged inside the protrusion 35 respectively, that is, two second cavities 30b can be formed inside the protrusion 35, making full use of the internal space of the protrusion 35 and improving the space utilization efficiency within the lifting rib 3.

[0082] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, two sets of first through holes 32 are provided, with the two sets of first through holes 32 respectively disposed on the outer walls of opposite sides of the lifting rib 3. One set of first through holes 32 communicates with a first cavity 30a, and the other set of first through holes 32 communicates with another first cavity 30a. Because the two sets of first through holes 32 are disposed on the outer walls of opposite sides of the lifting rib 3, when the inner cylinder 22 rotates forward, one set of first through holes 32 can face the water-facing side of the lifting rib 3, and water in the clothing treatment chamber 20 can enter the corresponding water-receiving chamber 30 through this set of first through holes 32. Figure 8As shown; and when the inner cylinder 22 rotates in the opposite direction, another set of first through holes 32 can face the water-facing side of the lifting rib 3, and water in the clothing treatment chamber 20 can enter the corresponding water-containing chamber 30 through this set of first through holes 32, such as Figure 10 As shown.

[0083] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, two sets of second through holes 33 are provided, with the two sets of second through holes 33 respectively disposed on the opposite outer walls of the protrusion 35. One set of second through holes 33 communicates with a second cavity 30b, and the other set of second through holes 33 communicates with another second cavity 30b. By providing two sets of second through holes 33 on the opposite outer walls of the protrusion 35 of the lifting rib 3, the opposite sides of the protrusion 35 can be sprayed with water onto the clothes. When the inner drum 22 rotates forward, water in the clothes handling chamber 20 can enter the first cavity 30a of the corresponding water-containing chamber 30 through the first through holes 32. When the lifting rib 3 rotates to the upper region of the clothes handling chamber 20, the water in the first cavity 30a then enters the corresponding second cavity 30b through the movable side of the isolation pad 31, and is sprayed onto the clothes below through the corresponding set of second through holes 33. Figure 9 As shown. When the inner drum 22 rotates in the reverse direction, the water in the clothing treatment chamber 20 can enter the first cavity 30a of the corresponding water-containing chamber 30 through another set of first through holes 32. When the lifting rib 3 rotates to the upper area of ​​the clothing treatment chamber 20, the water in the first cavity 30a enters the corresponding second cavity 30b through the movable side of the isolation pad 31, and is sprayed onto the clothes below through another set of second through holes 33, such as... Figure 11 As shown. Thus, by setting two sets of second through holes 33 on the protrusion 35, the cylinder assembly 2 has a set of second through holes 33 spraying regardless of whether it rotates forward or backward, thereby realizing the spraying function of the lifting rib 3.

[0084] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the diameter of the first through hole 32 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 33. The larger diameter of the first through hole 32 can increase the water inlet speed of the first cavity 30a; the relatively smaller diameter of the second through hole 33 can relatively slow down the water outlet speed of the second cavity 30b, allowing multiple second through holes 33 to spray simultaneously, thus improving the uniformity of spraying.
