Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a garment care machine. Background Technology

[0002] As living conditions improve, people's requirements for clothing are gradually increasing. The smoothness, dryness, and neatness of clothing are receiving more attention. Clothing care machines, with their functions of wrinkle removal, drying, and sterilization, are beginning to be more widely used in daily life.

[0003] Traditional garment care machines include components such as a garment hanger, a oscillating mechanism, a drying device, and a steam device. After the garments to be cared for are hung on the hanger, the drying and steam devices maintain a certain temperature and humidity inside the machine. Then, the oscillating mechanism causes the garments to oscillate continuously, thereby drying and removing wrinkles. For details, please refer to Chinese Patent Application No. CN202420586812.8, "Oscillating Device and Garment Care Machine Having the Same".

[0004] In addition, existing garment care cabinets also have air outlet technology inside the hangers, which can make the clothes oscillate during steam care, improving the wrinkle removal, odor removal, and dust removal effects.

[0005] However, the shaking technology or air outlet inside the hanger currently used has a relatively simple effect on shaking and air penetration of clothing, and does not form a combined effect. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a garment care machine that can improve the garment care effect by means of the synergistic effect of mechanical force and wind force, in view of the current state of the technology.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a garment care machine, including...

[0008] The cabinet has an internal nursing chamber; and

[0009] A clothes hanger, suspended inside the nursing cavity, is used for hanging clothes;

[0010] Its characteristic is that the interior of the clothes hanger is hollow, and the bottom of the clothes hanger has an air outlet;

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes

[0012] A swing mechanism is used to drive the hanger to translate along its thickness direction, so that the clothing shakes during the translation process with the hanger; and

[0013] An air supply mechanism is used to deliver air into the hanger and discharge it through an air outlet, so that the clothes are shaken by the airflow blowing from the air outlet.

[0014] To drive the clothes hanger to move horizontally, the swing mechanism is located within the care cavity and includes:

[0015] A mounting bracket is installed on the cabinet.

[0016] A movable base, capable of sliding left and right, is mounted on the fixed base, and the clothes hanger is located at the bottom of the movable base; and

[0017] A translation device is used to drive the movable seat to translate left and right.

[0018] In order to enable the movable seat to slide left and right on the fixed seat, the fixed seat has a guide rod extending in the left and right direction, and the movable seat has a guide seat corresponding to the guide rod. The guide seat can slide left and right and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the corresponding guide rod.

[0020] The drive element, fixed relative to the fixed base, has a power output shaft extending in the front-rear direction; and

[0021] The transmission assembly acts between the power output shaft of the drive member and the movable seat to convert the rotational motion of the power output shaft of the drive member into the translational motion of the movable seat.

[0022] In order to convert the rotational motion of the drive unit's power output shaft into the translational motion of the movable seat, the movable seat has a connecting seat;

[0023] The transmission assembly includes:

[0024] An eccentric wheel, eccentrically mounted on the power output shaft of the drive component; and

[0025] The connecting rod has its first end rotatably connected to the eccentric wheel and its second end hinged to the connecting seat.

[0026] To facilitate the hanging and removal of the hanger at the bottom of the movable seat, the bottom of the movable seat has a mounting groove with a front opening, and the top of the hanger can be pulled in and out of the mounting groove from the front opening.

[0027] To prevent the hanger from detaching from the mounting slot under gravity and to facilitate the top of the hanger entering and exiting the mounting slot, the side walls on both the left and right sides inside the mounting slot have limiting strips extending in the front-back direction. The side walls on both the left and right sides of the top of the hanger are provided with limiting grooves corresponding to the limiting strips and for the corresponding limiting strips to be inserted.

[0028] In order to supply air into the hanger, the top of the hanger has an air inlet, and the interior of the movable base is hollow;

[0029] The air supply mechanism includes:

[0030] A fan, installed outside the movable base, has an air intake and an air outlet, capable of drawing air in through the air intake and expelling it through the air outlet. The air intake of the fan is connected to the outside atmosphere; and

[0031] A flow guide is installed inside the movable seat to form a flow guide duct inside the movable seat. The inlet of the flow guide duct is connected to the air outlet of the fan, and the outlet of the flow guide duct is connected to the air inlet.

[0032] To improve garment care efficiency, the number of hangers is multiple and they are arranged at intervals along the left and right direction on the movable base. The air duct has multiple outlets corresponding to the hangers, and each outlet of the air duct is connected to the air inlet of the corresponding hanger.

[0033] In order to dry the clothes, the bottom of the care chamber is provided with a heating module for heating the airflow inside the care chamber.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the swing mechanism drives the hanger to move along its thickness direction, and the air supply mechanism delivers air into the hanger and discharges it through the air outlet. With the help of the combined effect of mechanical force and wind force, the clothes are shaken, which improves the actual wrinkle removal and dust removal effect of the clothes and enhances the clothes care effect.

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] In the specification and claims of this utility model, terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom," are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of this utility model. However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 5 The image shows a preferred embodiment of the garment care machine of this utility model. The garment care machine includes a cabinet 1, a clothes hanger 2, a swing mechanism 3, a blower mechanism 4, and a heating module 5.

[0043] The cabinet 1 has a nursing cavity 10 inside.

[0044] There are three hangers 2, which are hung in the care chamber 10 at intervals along the left and right directions for hanging clothes. Specifically, the hangers 2 are hollow inside, with an air inlet 21 at the top and multiple air outlets 22 at intervals at the bottom; limiting grooves 23 extending in the front and back directions are provided on the side walls on the left and right sides of the top of the hangers 2.

[0045] The swing mechanism 3 is located inside the care cavity 10 and is used to drive the hanger 2 to translate along its thickness direction, i.e., the left-right direction, so that the clothes shake during the translation process with the hanger 2. In this embodiment, the swing mechanism 3 includes a fixed base 31, a movable base 32, and a translation device 33.

[0046] Specifically, the fixing seat 31 is installed on the cabinet 1, and the fixing seat 31 has guide rods 311 arranged at intervals on the left and right, and each guide rod 311 extends in the left and right direction;

[0047] The movable seat 32 is hollow inside. The top of the movable seat 32 has two guide seats 321 that correspond one-to-one with the guide rods 311. Each guide seat 321 can slide left and right on the outer periphery of the corresponding guide rod 311, thereby realizing the left and right sliding of the movable seat 32 at the bottom of the fixed seat 31. The bottom of the movable seat 32 has three mounting slots 322 that correspond one-to-one with the hangers 2 and are open at the front. The top of each hanger 2 can be pulled in and out of the mounting slot 322 from the front opening of the corresponding mounting slot 322, thereby facilitating the hanging and unloading of each hanger 2 at the bottom of the movable seat 32. Each mounting slot 322 has a limiting strip 3221 extending in the front and back direction on the side walls on the left and right sides. The limiting strip 3221 corresponds one-to-one with the limiting slot 23 and can be inserted into the corresponding limiting slot 23. The top of the movable seat 32 also has a connecting seat 323.

[0048] The translation device 33 includes a housing 330, a drive component 331, an eccentric wheel 332, and a connecting rod 333. The housing 330 is mounted on a fixed base 31. The drive component 331 is a motor, which is installed inside the housing 330 and has a power output shaft extending in the front-rear direction. The eccentric wheel 332 is eccentrically sleeved on the outer periphery of the power output shaft of the drive component 331. The connecting rod 333 is located inside the housing 330, with its first end rotatably connected to the outer periphery of the eccentric wheel 332 and its second end hinged to a connecting seat 323.

[0049] Start the drive unit 331, which drives the eccentric wheel 332 to rotate. The eccentric wheel 332 then drives the connecting rod 333 to deflect. Since the movable seat 32 is constrained by the guide rod 311 and the guide column 321, the movable seat 32 moves horizontally in the left and right directions, which eventually drives the clothes hanger 2 to move horizontally in sync.

[0050] The air supply mechanism 4 is used to supply air into the clothes hanger 2 and discharge it through the air outlet 22, so that the clothes will shake under the action of the airflow blown from the air outlet 22. In this embodiment, the air supply mechanism 4 includes a fan 41 and a guide 42.

[0051] Specifically, the fan 41 is installed behind the movable base 32 and has an air inlet and an air outlet. It can draw air in from the air inlet and discharge it through the air outlet. The air inlet of the fan 41 is connected to the outside atmosphere.

[0052] The air guide 42 is installed inside the movable seat 32 to form an air guide duct 421 inside the movable seat 32. The inlet of the air guide duct 421 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 41. The air guide duct 421 has three outlets that correspond one-to-one with the above-mentioned clothes hanger 2, and each outlet of the air guide duct 421 is connected to the air inlet 21 of the corresponding clothes hanger 2.

[0053] The heating module 5 is installed at the bottom of the nursing cavity 10 and is used to heat the airflow inside the nursing cavity 10.

[0054] In addition, the aforementioned garment care machine can be controlled by a voice module, which is equipped with a controller, a voice receiving module, and a voice parsing module. The voice receiving module receives user commands, and the voice parsing module parses the commands. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the garment care machine to perform corresponding operations, thereby realizing intelligent control of the garment care machine and improving the user experience.

[0055] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During operation, after the user hangs the clothes to be cared for on the hanger 2, the drive unit 331 and the fan 41 are started. On the one hand, the drive unit 331 drives the eccentric wheel 332 to rotate, and the eccentric wheel 332 drives the connecting rod 333 to deflect. Since the movable seat 32 is constrained by the guide rod 311 and the guide column 321, the movable seat 32 moves horizontally in the left and right directions, and finally drives the hanger 2 to move horizontally in sync, so that the clothes shake during the horizontal movement of the hanger 2. On the other hand, the fan 41 delivers the outside air through the air duct 421 to each hanger 2. The airflow in the hanger 2 is finally discharged through each air outlet 22, so that the clothes shake under the action of the airflow blown from the air outlet 22. It can be seen that this solution, through the system combination design of the swing mechanism 3 and the air supply mechanism 4, achieves the improvement of the actual wrinkle removal and dust removal effect of the clothes by means of the synergistic effect of mechanical force and wind force.
