Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of washing equipment technology, and in particular to a garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, single-drum washing machines can no longer meet people's needs for healthy laundry, so twin-drum or multi-drum washing machines have emerged to achieve the effect of washing different areas in one machine.

[0003] Twin-tub or multi-tub washing machines typically use a single water supply line combined with a reversing valve to switch between multiple water inlet channels to achieve zoned water intake.

[0004] However, for washing machines with a closed water inlet design, the inlet pipe will remain full of water even when no water is supplied. In this case, switching the reversing valve will cause changes in the water pressure inside the pipe, which will cause water in the no-water-supply inlet pipe to flow out, affecting the normal use of the product. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a garment processing device that can solve the problem that the switching of the reversing valve causes changes in the water pressure inside the pipe, which in turn causes water in the inlet pipe that is not supplied with water to flow out.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows:

[0007] A garment processing device, the garment processing device comprising: a water supply assembly, a detergent dispenser, and a washing drum;

[0008] The water conveyance assembly includes connecting pipe fittings;

[0009] The connecting pipe fitting includes a first connection port, a second connection port, and a vent.

[0010] The first connection port is connected to the water outlet of the detergent box, the second connection port is connected to the water inlet of the washing drum, and the vent is connected to external gas.

[0011] In this embodiment of the clothing processing equipment, a connecting pipe is provided between the detergent box and the washing drum. The detergent box is connected to the first connection port of the connecting pipe, and the washing drum is connected to the second connection port of the connecting pipe. Liquid flowing out of the detergent box can flow in from the first connection port and out from the second connection port, and then enter the washing drum. During this process, the air in the connecting pipe is sucked away, forming a negative pressure. Air can enter through the vent, and the water supply component can achieve normal water supply. When the water supply stops, due to the presence of the vent, the water supply component between the detergent box and the washing drum is no longer a sealed pipeline. External air can enter through the vent, so that the air pressure inside and outside the water supply component is balanced. Under the action of gravity, the liquid in the water supply component can be completely discharged into the washing drum, thereby avoiding the problem of liquid flowing out of the water supply component when the upstream reversing valve switches.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the connecting pipe fitting includes a first pipe body and a second pipe body;

[0013] The first connection port and the second connection port are located at both ends of the first tube, one end of the second tube is connected to the first tube, and the other end of the second tube forms the vent.

[0014] With the above arrangement, the connecting pipes consist of a first pipe and a second pipe. The structure is simple, the size is small, and it does not require a large space, which helps to improve the ease of assembly and reduce the assembly difficulty of the garment processing equipment.

[0015] In some possible implementations, a thin tube segment is provided between the two ends of the first tube body, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the two ends; the second tube body is connected to the thin tube segment.

[0016] With the above arrangement, the first and second pipe fittings can form a Venturi structure. When liquid flows through the first pipe, the flow rate of the liquid increases and the pressure decreases when it flows through the thinner section, forming a negative pressure in the thinner section area. The second pipe is connected to the thinner section. Under the action of the internal negative pressure, the liquid will not flow out of the second pipe. Instead, it will continuously draw in air through the vent. Thus, during the normal water intake process of the connecting pipe fitting in this embodiment, the liquid can flow normally through the first pipe. When the water intake stops, the liquid pressure in the first pipe disappears, and external air enters the first pipe through the vent and the second pipe. The internal and external air pressure of the first pipe is balanced, and the liquid in the first pipe and the pipe between the first pipe and the washing drum can continue to be discharged outward under the action of gravity.

[0017] In some possible implementations, the inner diameter of the second tube is less than or equal to the diameter of the thinner tube segment.

[0018] In some possible implementations, the second tube is arranged vertically, and the vent is located at the top of the second tube.

[0019] In this embodiment, the second pipe is arranged vertically, and the vent is located at the top of the second pipe. When liquid flows in the first pipe, although the liquid will enter the second pipe, as the height of the liquid column in the second pipe increases, the gravity generated by the liquid column also increases until the gravity generated by the liquid column in the second pipe is balanced with the liquid pressure in the first pipe. At this point, the height of the liquid column in the second pipe will no longer increase. When the water intake stops, the liquid pressure in the first pipe disappears, and the liquid column in the second pipe is discharged. External air enters the first pipe through the vent and the second pipe. The internal and external air pressures of the first pipe are balanced, and the liquid in the first pipe and the pipe between the first pipe and the washing drum can continue to be discharged outward under the action of gravity.

[0020] In some possible implementations, the first tube is arranged horizontally, or the height of the first connection port is higher than the height of the second connection port, so that the liquid inside the first tube can be automatically discharged under the action of gravity after air enters the first tube.

[0021] In some possible implementations, the water supply assembly further includes a first water supply pipe, a second water supply pipe, and a vent pipe. The first water supply pipe is connected between the first connection port and the water outlet of the detergent dispenser. The second water supply pipe is connected between the second connection port and the water inlet of the washing drum. One end of the vent pipe is connected to the vent port, and the other end is connected to the washing drum.

[0022] With the above arrangement, the connecting pipes are connected to the detergent dispenser via the first water supply pipe and to the washing drum via the second water supply pipe. This allows for greater flexibility in the placement of the connecting pipes within the garment processing equipment, reducing assembly difficulty. Connecting the vent to the washing drum via a vent pipe not only compensates for the air pressure inside the connecting pipes with the air inside the washing drum, but also directs any liquid flowing out of the vent into the washing drum, preventing leakage and waste.

[0023] In some possible implementations, the second water supply pipe has at least one upwardly curved undulating section near the water inlet of the washing drum, the undulating section being used to prevent residual water in the second water supply pipe from being discharged outwards.

[0024] In this embodiment, after the water inlet stops, most of the liquid in the first pipe and the second water pipe can be discharged into the washing drum under the action of gravity due to the vent. However, due to objective problems such as liquid surface tension and the limitation of the tilt angle of the second water pipe, a small amount of liquid may still remain in the second water pipe. This part of the liquid may flow out after being affected by vibration or air pressure. Therefore, at least one undulating section is arranged at the end of the second water pipe near the water inlet of the washing drum. The undulating section will bend and bulge upward to raise part of the second water pipe, so that the height of this part of the second water pipe exceeds the average height of the second water pipe, thereby preventing the residual liquid from flowing out.

[0025] In some possible implementations, the connecting pipe fitting further includes a third pipe body, which is arranged at an angle to the second pipe body. One end of the third pipe body is connected to the second pipe body, and the vent is located at the other end of the third pipe body.

[0026] With the above arrangement, a third pipe body is arranged at an angle on the second pipe body, and the end opening of the third pipe body is used as a vent. The position of the vent can be adjusted by using the third pipe body, making the position of the third vent more flexible. This not only helps to improve the water leakage prevention effect of the vent, but also helps to reduce the connection difficulty of the vent pipe and improve the use and assembly efficiency of the connecting pipe fittings.

[0027] In some possible implementations, the first pipe and the second pipe are vertically connected, the third pipe is vertically connected to the second pipe, and the third pipe is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the first pipe.

[0028] With the above arrangement, the first connection port is located on one side of the connecting pipe fitting, and the vent and the second connection port are parallel to each other and arranged on opposite sides of the connecting pipe fitting. The structure of the connecting pipe fitting is more reasonable, and the connection difficulty of the first water supply pipe, the second water supply pipe and the vent pipe is lower, which can further improve the use and assembly efficiency of the connecting pipe fitting.

[0029] With the above arrangement, the first connection port is located on one side of the connecting pipe fitting, and the vent and the second connection port are parallel to each other and arranged on opposite sides of the connecting pipe fitting. The structure of the connecting pipe fitting is more reasonable, and the connection difficulty of the first water supply pipe, the second water supply pipe and the vent pipe is lower, which can further improve the use and assembly efficiency of the connecting pipe fitting.

[0030] In some possible implementations, the connecting fitting further includes a mounting base, to which the first pipe body and the second pipe body are respectively connected, or where the first pipe body and the second pipe body are located within the mounting base.

[0031] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the efficiency of use and assembly of the connecting pipe fittings, the first pipe fitting and the second pipe fitting are integrated and arranged on the mounting base. The mounting base can be used and assembled and fixed simultaneously with the first pipe body and the second pipe body, which can further improve the efficiency of use and assembly of the connecting pipe fittings.

[0032] In some possible implementations, the water delivery assembly further includes a reversing valve having a reversing inlet and at least two reversing outlets, the reversing inlet being connected to the outlet of the detergent dispenser, and the first connection port being connected to one of the reversing outlets.

[0033] With the above arrangement, in order to meet the water demand of multiple washing drums, a reversing valve is arranged between the detergent box and the connecting pipe fittings. The reversing valve can be an electromagnetic reversing valve, and at least two reversing outlets can switch to be connected to the reversing inlet. Through the reversing valve, the washing liquid output from the outlet of the detergent box can flow out from different reversing outlets, and then flow to the first connection port and the corresponding washing drum. This allows the clothing processing equipment to meet the water demand of different washing drums and improve the working performance of the clothing processing equipment.

[0053] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothing processing device, which includes: a water supply component, a detergent box 2, and a washing drum 3.

[0056] The water supply assembly includes a connecting pipe 1; the connecting pipe 1 includes a first connection port 10a, a second connection port 10b and a vent 10c; the first connection port 10a is connected to the water outlet of the detergent box 2, the second connection port 10b is connected to the water inlet of the washing drum 3, and the vent 10c is connected to external gas.

[0057] In this embodiment of the clothing processing equipment, a connecting pipe 1 is provided between the detergent box 2 and the washing drum 3. The detergent box 2 is connected to the first connection port 10a of the connecting pipe 1, and the washing drum 3 is connected to the second connection port 10b of the connecting pipe 1. Liquid flowing out of the detergent box 2 can flow in from the first connection port 10a and out from the second connection port 10b, and then enter the washing drum 3. During this process, the air in the connecting pipe 1 is sucked away, forming a negative pressure. Air can enter from the vent port 10c, and the water supply component can achieve normal water supply. When the water supply stops, due to the presence of the vent port 10c, the water supply component between the detergent box 2 and the washing drum 3 is no longer a sealed pipeline. External air can enter through the vent port 10c, so that the air pressure inside and outside the water supply component is balanced. Under the action of gravity, the liquid in the water supply component can be completely discharged into the washing drum 3, thereby avoiding the problem of liquid flowing out of the water supply component when the upstream reversing valve 5 switches.

[0058] In some possible implementations, the garment handling equipment also includes a water inlet pipe, one end of which is connected to an external water source, and the other end is connected to the water inlet of the detergent dispenser 2. During operation, the external water source provides clean water, which enters the detergent dispenser 2 along the water inlet pipe and mixes with detergent to form a washing liquid. The washing liquid flows out from the outlet of the detergent dispenser 2, enters the first connection port 10a of the connecting pipe 1, and then flows through the second connection port 10b to the inlet of the washing drum 3, finally flowing into the washing drum 3.

[0059] For example, the detergent dispenser 2 has multiple detergent compartments, each of which can hold different detergents. The detergents can be dispensed automatically or manually. Clean water can flow into different detergent compartments to form washing liquids of varying strengths. These washing liquids can flow out through the same outlet or through different outlets.

[0060] In some possible implementations, the number of washing tubs 3 can be one or more. When there are multiple washing tubs 3, the water supply component of this embodiment can be provided between one or several washing tubs 3 and the detergent box 2, or the water supply component of this embodiment can be provided between all the washing tubs 3 and the detergent box 2 respectively.

[0061] In some possible implementations, the laundry processing device contains one detergent dispenser 2 and multiple water supply components and washing drums 3. The outlet of the detergent dispenser 2 is connected to the first connection port 10a of multiple connecting pipes 1, and the second connection port 10b of each connecting pipe 1 is connected to one washing drum 3. The washing liquid output from the detergent dispenser 2 can selectively enter the first connection port 10a of different connecting pipes 1, and then enter the corresponding washing drum 3 through the second connection port 10b of the connecting pipe 1.

[0062] For example, the detergent dispenser 2 has multiple outlets, and the first connection port 10a of each connecting pipe 1 is connected to a different outlet.

[0063] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some possible implementation schemes, the connecting pipe 1 includes a first pipe body 11 and a second pipe body 12. The first connection port 10a and the second connection port 10b are respectively located at the two ends of the first pipe body 11. One end of the second pipe body 12 is connected to the first pipe body 11, and the other end of the second pipe body 12 forms a vent 10c.

[0064] With the above arrangement, the connecting pipe 1 is composed of a first pipe and a second pipe. It has a simple structure, small size, and does not require a large space, which helps to improve the ease of assembly and reduce the assembly difficulty of the clothing processing equipment.

[0065] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some possible implementation schemes, a thin tube segment 111 is provided between the two ends of the first tube body 11, and the diameter of the thin tube segment 111 is smaller than the diameter of the two ends; the second tube body 12 is connected to the thin tube segment 111.

[0066] With the above arrangement, the first and second pipe fittings can form a Venturi structure. When liquid flows in the first pipe body 11, the flow rate of the liquid increases and the pressure decreases when it flows through the thin pipe section 111, forming a negative pressure in the area of ​​the thin pipe section 111. The second pipe body 12 is connected to the thin pipe section 111. Under the action of the internal negative pressure, the liquid will not flow out of the second pipe body 12, but will instead continuously draw in air through the vent 10c. Thus, during the normal water intake process of the connecting pipe fitting 1 in this embodiment, the liquid can flow normally through the first pipe body 11. When the water intake stops, the liquid pressure in the first pipe body 11 disappears, and external air enters the first pipe body 11 through the vent 10c and the second pipe body 12. The internal and external air pressure of the first pipe body 11 is balanced, and the liquid in the first pipe body 11 and the pipe between the first pipe body 11 and the washing drum 3 can continue to be discharged outward under the action of gravity.

[0067] In some possible implementations, the inner diameter of the second tube 12 is less than or equal to the diameter of the thin tube segment 111.

[0068] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some possible implementations, the second tube 12 is arranged vertically, and the vent 10c is located at the top of the second tube 12.

[0069] In this embodiment, the second pipe 12 is arranged vertically, and the vent 10c is located at the top of the second pipe 12. When liquid flows in the first pipe 11, although the liquid will enter the second pipe 12, as the height of the liquid column in the second pipe 12 increases, the gravity generated by the liquid column also increases until the gravity generated by the liquid column in the second pipe 12 is balanced with the liquid pressure in the first pipe 11. At this point, the height of the liquid column in the second pipe 12 will not increase. When the water inlet stops, the liquid pressure in the first pipe 11 disappears, and the liquid column in the second pipe 12 is discharged. External air enters the first pipe 11 through the vent 10c and the second pipe 12. The internal and external air pressures of the first pipe 11 are balanced, and the liquid in the first pipe 11 and the pipe between the first pipe 11 and the washing drum 3 can continue to be discharged outward under the action of gravity.

[0070] In some possible implementations, the first tube 11 is arranged in a horizontal direction, or the height of the first connection port 10a is higher than the height of the second connection port 10b, so that after air enters the first tube 11, the liquid inside the first tube 11 can be automatically discharged under the action of gravity.

[0071] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some possible implementations, the water supply assembly also includes a first water supply pipe 6, a second water supply pipe 7, and a vent pipe 4. The first water supply pipe 6 is connected between the first connection port 10a and the water outlet of the detergent box 2. The second water supply pipe 7 is connected between the second connection port 10b and the water inlet of the washing drum 3. One end of the vent pipe 4 is connected to the vent port 10c, and the other end is connected to the washing drum 3.

[0072] With the above arrangement, the connecting pipe 1 is connected to the detergent dispenser 2 via the first water supply pipe 6 and to the washing drum 3 via the second water supply pipe 7. The position of the connecting pipe 1 inside the garment processing equipment is more flexible, which helps to reduce the assembly difficulty of the garment processing equipment. By using the vent pipe 4 to connect the vent 10c to the washing drum 3, not only can the air inside the washing drum 3 be used to compensate for the air pressure inside the connecting pipe 1, but also when the washing liquid flows out from the vent 10c, this part of the washing liquid can be guided into the washing drum 3, avoiding leakage and waste of washing liquid.

[0073] In some possible implementations, the garment handling device has a drum-type structure. The washing drum 3 includes an inner drum and an outer drum, with the inner drum rotatably fitted inside the outer drum. The inner drum holds the garments to be processed and has raised "lifting ribs" and evenly distributed holes on its inner surface. When rotating, it moves the garments and allows the washing liquid to enter and exit through the holes, ensuring full contact with the garments. The outer drum remains stationary, serving as a "container" for the washing liquid and providing space for the rotation of the inner drum.

[0074] For example, refer to Figure 1As shown, the vent 10c is connected to the top of the outer cylinder through the vent pipe 4. This is because the top of the outer cylinder is usually not submerged by the washing liquid and will store some air, which can be used to compensate for the air pressure in the connecting pipe fitting 1.

[0075] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some possible implementations, the second water supply pipe 7 is provided with at least one upwardly curved and raised undulating section 71, which is close to the water inlet of the washing drum 3. The undulating section 71 is used to prevent residual water in the second water supply pipe 7 from being discharged outward.

[0076] In this embodiment, after the water inlet stops, under the action of the vent 10c, most of the liquid in the first pipe 11 and the second water pipe 7 can be discharged into the washing drum 3 under the action of gravity. However, due to objective problems such as liquid surface tension and the limitation of the tilt angle of the second water pipe 7, a small amount of liquid may still remain in the second water pipe 7. This part of the liquid may flow out after being affected by vibration or air pressure. Therefore, at least one undulating section 71 is arranged at one end of the second water pipe 7 near the water inlet of the washing drum 3. The undulating section 71 will bend and bulge upward to raise part of the second water pipe 7, so that the height of this part of the second water pipe 7 exceeds the average height of the second water pipe 7, thereby preventing the residual liquid from flowing out.

[0077] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some possible implementation schemes, the connecting pipe 1 also includes a third pipe body 14, which is arranged at an angle to the second pipe body 12. One end of the third pipe body 14 is connected to the second pipe body 12, and the vent 10c is located at the other end of the third pipe body 14.

[0078] With the above arrangement, a third pipe body 14 is arranged at an angle on the second pipe body 12, and the end opening of the third pipe body 14 is used as a vent 10c. The position of the vent 10c can be adjusted by the third pipe body 14, making the position of the third vent 10c more flexible. This not only helps to improve the water leakage prevention effect of the vent 10c, but also helps to reduce the connection difficulty of the vent pipe 4 and improve the use and assembly efficiency of the connecting pipe fitting 1.

[0079] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some possible implementations, the first tube 11 and the second tube 12 are vertically connected, the third tube 14 is vertically connected to the second tube 12, and the third tube 14 is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the first tube 11.

[0080] With the above arrangement, the first connection port 10a is located on one side of the connecting pipe fitting 1, the vent port 10c and the second connection port 10b are parallel to each other and are arranged on opposite sides of the connecting pipe fitting 1. The structure of the connecting pipe fitting 1 is more reasonable, and the connection difficulty of the first water supply pipe 6, the second water supply pipe 7 and the vent pipe 4 is lower, which can further improve the use and assembly efficiency of the connecting pipe fitting 1.

[0081] In some possible implementations, the top end of the second tube 12 is sealed by a plug 8.

[0082] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some possible implementations, the connecting pipe fitting 1 also includes a mounting base 13, with the first pipe body 11 and the second pipe body 12 respectively connected to the mounting base 13, or the first pipe body 11 and the second pipe body 12 located inside the mounting base 13.

[0083] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the efficiency of use and assembly of the connecting pipe fitting 1, the first pipe fitting and the second pipe fitting are integrated and arranged on the mounting base 13. The mounting base 13 can be used and assembled and fixed simultaneously with the first pipe body 11 and the second pipe body 12, which can further improve the efficiency of use and assembly of the connecting pipe fitting 1.

[0084] For example, the first tube 11 and the second tube 12 are respectively channel structures within the mounting base 13. The connecting pipe fitting 1 can be integrally formed by injection molding.

[0085] In some possible implementations, the first tube 11, the second tube 12, and the third tube 14 are channel structures within the mounting base 13.

[0086] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some possible implementations, the water supply assembly also includes a reversing valve 5, which has a reversing inlet and at least two reversing outlets. The reversing inlet is connected to the outlet of the detergent box 2, and the first connection port 10a is connected to one of the reversing outlets.

[0087] With the above arrangement, in order to meet the water demand of multiple washing drums 3, a reversing valve 5 is arranged between the detergent box 2 and the connecting pipe 1. The reversing valve 5 can be an electromagnetic reversing valve 5, and at least two reversing outlets can switch to be connected to the reversing inlet. Through the reversing valve 5, the washing liquid output from the outlet of the detergent box 2 can flow out from different reversing outlets, and then flow to the first connection port 10a and the corresponding washing drum 3. This allows the clothing processing equipment to meet the water demand of different washing drums 3 and improve the working performance of the clothing processing equipment.
