[0035] This application provides a lifting rib assembly and a clothes processing device to solve the problem that existing drum washing machines rely on lifting ribs to agitate clothes, which has limited impact on clothes and poor cleaning effect. The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0036] The lifting rib assembly provided in this application embodiment is applied to a garment processing device. The garment processing device includes a cylinder with a receiving space. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1The lifting rib assembly includes a lifting rib body 1 and a flow guide 2. The lifting rib body 1 is installed in the receiving space, and a receiving cavity 11 is formed inside the lifting rib body 1. The lifting rib body 1 also has an opening that connects the receiving space and the receiving cavity 11. The flow guide 2 is installed in the receiving cavity 11 and forms a flow channel that connects to the opening. When the lifting rib body 1 is below the liquid level in the cylinder, the washing solution in the receiving space enters the flow channel through the opening. When the lifting rib body 1 is above the liquid level in the cylinder, the washing solution in the flow channel is sprayed into the receiving space through the opening.
[0037] The lifting rib assembly provided in this application embodiment has a guide member 2 inside the lifting rib body 1. When the lifting rib body 1 rotates with the drum to the bottom of the drum, so that the lifting rib body 1 is immersed in the washing solution, the washing solution enters the flow channel of the guide member 2 through the opening on the lifting rib body 1 and fills the flow channel. When the lifting rib body 1 rotates with the drum to the top of the drum, the washing solution in the flow channel is sprayed from the opening into the drum's receiving space due to inertia. The washing solution is sprayed onto the clothes through the flow channel, increasing the impact force on the stains on the clothes. At the same time, it increases the flow rate of the washing solution in the drum, further increasing the drum's agitation force on the clothes and washing solution, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the washing machine. Moreover, this structure does not require a power unit and is simple in structure, greatly improving the cleaning effect of the washing machine with the disclosed cost.
[0038] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The opening includes a first opening 12 and a second opening 13 spaced apart; the two ends of the flow channel are respectively provided with an inlet 21 and an outlet 22, with the inlet 21 communicating with the first opening 12 and the outlet 22 communicating with the second opening 13. By setting the first opening 12 and the second opening 13, the speed at which the washing solution in the containing space enters the flow channel is accelerated, so that when the lifting rib body 1 rotates to the bottom of the cylinder, the flow channel can be quickly filled with the washing solution.
[0039] Optionally, the diameter of the inlet 21 is larger than the diameter of the outlet 22, so that there is a pressure difference between the inlet 21 and the outlet 22, thereby accelerating the water flow speed at the outlet 22, increasing the jet force of the outlet 22, and increasing the impact on clothing stains.
[0040] Optionally, the flow area of the channel gradually decreases from one end of the inlet 21 to the other end of the outlet 22. This gradual decrease in cross-sectional area of the channel results in a smoother change in water pressure along the flow direction, preventing sudden pressure changes from causing significant impact on the guide member 2 and affecting its service life. Simultaneously, according to the continuity equation A1v1=A2v2, the gradually decreasing cross-sectional area leads to an increase in liquid velocity, enhancing the jet force at the outlet 22.
[0041] Optionally, the first opening 12 is located at one end of the lifting rib body 1 near the inner wall of the cylinder, and the second opening 13 is located at one end of the lifting rib body 1 away from the inner wall of the cylinder. By setting the first opening 12 and the second opening 13 at both ends of the lifting rib body 1, the height difference between the first opening 12 and the second opening 13 is increased, thereby further increasing the jet velocity at the outlet 22.
[0042] Optionally, the first opening 12 is located on one of the two opposite end faces in the rotation direction of the lifting rib body 1, thereby utilizing the rotational inertia of the lifting rib body 1 to accelerate the speed at which the washing solution enters the flow channel.
[0043] Optionally, the first opening 12, the second opening 13, and the flow channels each include multiple channels, with each flow channel connecting one first opening 12 and one second opening 13. The multiple flow channels are spaced apart within the flow guide 2. In some examples, the multiple first openings 12 are spaced apart along a first direction, the multiple second openings 13 are spaced apart along a second direction, and the multiple flow channels are correspondingly spaced apart.
[0044] Optionally, the flow channel can be arc-shaped to extend the distance between the first opening 12 and the second opening 13, increase the liquid storage space of the flow channel, and at the same time, the arc shape can buffer the washing solution flowing in from the inlet 21 to a certain extent, preventing the washing solution from rushing directly from the inlet 21 to the outlet 22.
[0045] Optionally, the angle between the water outlet 22 and the rotation direction of the drum is between 10° and 90°. Preferably, the angle between the water outlet 22 and the rotation direction of the drum is between 80° and 90°, such as 80°, 85°, 90°, etc. Since the clothes are lifted to the top by the lifting rib body 1 and fall freely, there is a high probability that they will pass through the central axis of the drum. Therefore, the water outlet 22 is pointed as much as possible towards the central axis of the drum, so that the washing solution jetted at the water outlet 22 can be directly sprayed onto the clothes, further increasing the direct impact on the clothes.
[0046] Optionally, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lifting rib assembly provided in this application embodiment also includes a filter element. The filter element is installed in the opening and includes a filter body 3. The filter body 3 has a plurality of through holes 31 spaced apart, and the filter body 3 is used to filter impurities. In some examples, a filter element is installed at the first opening 12; in other examples, a filter element is installed at the second opening 13; in still other examples, a filter element is installed at both the first opening 12 and the second opening 13. By setting the filter element, impurities in the washing solution are prevented from clogging the flow channel, ensuring the smooth flow of the channel. When there are multiple first openings 12 and second openings 13, multiple first openings 12 can be covered by one filter element, and multiple second openings 13 can be covered by another filter element.
[0047] Optionally, the filter element can be snapped into the lifting rib body 1.
[0048] Optionally, the lifting rib body 1 is recessed with a mounting groove, the bottom of which has multiple first openings 12. A filter element is installed in the mounting groove to filter the washing solution at the multiple first openings 12. The lifting rib body 1 is also recessed with another mounting groove, the bottom of which has multiple second openings 13. Another filter element is installed in this mounting groove to filter the washing solution at the multiple second openings 13.
[0049] Optionally, the inlet 21 can be a square hole and the outlet 22 can be a round hole.
[0050] Optionally, the ratio of the diameter of the inlet 21 to the diameter of the outlet 22 can be between 2:1 and 10:1.
[0051] Optionally, the guide member 2 is snapped into the lifting rib body 1. In some examples, the two ends of the guide member 2 can be snapped into the first opening 12 and the second opening 13 respectively, that is, the first opening 12 conforms to the outer peripheral wall of the inlet 21, and the second opening 13 conforms to the outer peripheral wall of the outlet 22.
[0052] This application embodiment also provides a garment processing device, including a drum body with a receiving space. The garment processing device further includes a lifting rib assembly as described above. The lifting rib assembly includes a lifting rib body 1 and a flow guide 2. The lifting rib body 1 is installed in the receiving space and has a receiving cavity 11 formed therein. The lifting rib body 1 also has an opening that connects the receiving space and the receiving cavity 11. The flow guide 2 is installed in the receiving cavity 11 and has a flow channel that connects to the opening. When the lifting rib body 1 is below the liquid level in the drum body, the washing solution in the receiving space enters the flow channel through the opening. When the lifting rib body 1 is above the liquid level in the drum body, the washing solution in the flow channel is sprayed into the receiving space through the opening.
[0053] The connection method between the lifting rib body 1 and the cylinder is not further limited here. For example, it can be a detachable connection or a fixed connection.
[0054] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.
[0055] The lifting rib assembly and clothing processing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above.
