Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and more specifically, to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing equipment (such as washing machines) is used to clean clothes. Currently, clothing processing equipment has increasingly more functions, requiring more and more functional modules and components. In related technologies, the functional modules and components arranged inside the clothing processing equipment occupy a lot of space inside the equipment, making the layout and fixing of water supply pipes inside the equipment inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a garment processing device in which an integrated box can replace part of the water supply pipes installed in the housing, reduce the number of connection points of the water supply pipes, reduce the complexity of the layout and installation of the water supply pipes, simplify the layout and installation of the water supply pipes in the housing, and save the space occupied by the water supply pipes in the housing, so as to at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a garment processing device, comprising: Box; cylindrical body; and An integrated box, disposed within the housing and located behind the drum in the front-rear direction of the garment processing equipment, includes a shell forming at least one mutually isolated water passage. This configuration allows at least one water passage in the integrated box to replace a portion of the water supply pipes within the housing, reducing the number of connection points, simplifying the layout and installation of the water supply pipes within the housing, and saving space occupied by the water supply pipes within the housing.

[0005] In some possible implementations, the water passage includes an inlet water passage and / or a return water passage. This arrangement can replace part of the water supply pipeline in the tank, simplifying the layout and installation of the water supply pipeline inside the tank.

[0006] In some possible implementations, the different water passages are isolated from each other. This arrangement ensures that each water passage is an independent water passage that is not directly connected to other water passages, thereby ensuring that the functions of each water passage are performed independently.

[0007] In some possible implementations, the garment processing device further includes a water inlet valve and a washing box disposed within the housing; The water inlet channel is connected between the water inlet valve and the water inlet of the washing box, so that water in the water inlet valve enters the washing box through the water inlet channel of the integrated box; and / or The return water channel is connected between the water outlet of the washing box and the drum body, so that water in the washing box can enter the drum body through the return water channel of the integrated box.

[0008] In some possible implementations, the water inlet valve is located at the rear of the housing, and the integrated box is located at the angle between the rear and side of the housing and is disposed at the upper part of the housing. The washing box is located at the front of the housing. With this arrangement, the water inlet channel of the integrated box can replace part of the water supply pipeline located at the angle between the rear and side of the housing for connecting the water inlet valve and the washing box, thereby reducing the bending arrangement of the water supply pipeline and simplifying the layout and installation of the water supply pipeline.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the water inlet valve is located in the middle of the housing in the left-right direction of the garment processing equipment. This arrangement has two advantages: firstly, the water inlet valve is close to the integrated box, which facilitates the rapid flow of water from the external water supply into the water inlet channel of the integrated box; secondly, the water inlet valve is also close to the water-using components on the opposite side of the integrated box where the water inlet valve is located, which facilitates the rapid flow of water from the external water supply into the other water-using components.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the washing box is positioned near the bottom of the housing, thereby saving space near the top of the housing and facilitating the arrangement of other components of the clothing processing equipment in the space near the top of the housing.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the water inlet channel includes a first water inlet extending in the left-right direction of the garment processing device and for connecting to the water inlet valve, and a first drain outlet extending downward in the vertical direction of the garment processing device and for connecting to the water inlet of the washing box. This arrangement facilitates the connection of pipelines between the water inlet valve and the integrated box, as well as between the integrated box and the washing box; and / or The return water channel includes a second water inlet extending downward along the vertical direction of the garment processing device and used to connect to the water outlet of the washing box, and a second drain outlet extending along the horizontal direction of the garment processing device and used to connect to the drum body. This arrangement facilitates the connection of pipelines between the washing box and the integrated box, as well as between the integrated box and the drum body.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the integrated box further includes an exhaust channel isolated from the water passage. The exhaust channel includes an air inlet and an exhaust outlet formed in the housing. By integrating the exhaust channel into the integrated box, the number of exhaust components in the housing can be reduced, saving space in the housing to facilitate the arrangement of other components inside the clothing processing equipment.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the integrated box further includes a water inlet formed in the housing and communicating with the exhaust channel, which is configured to eliminate foam in the exhaust channel.

[0014] In some possible implementations, the integrated box further includes a drainage channel isolated from the water passage. The drainage channel includes a second water inlet and a second water outlet formed in the housing. The second water inlet is used to connect to the water outlet of the cylinder. By integrating the drainage channel into the integrated box, the number of drainage components for draining the cylinder inside the box can be reduced, thereby saving space inside the box and facilitating the arrangement of other components inside the clothing processing equipment.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the housing includes a base and a top cover; The base has at least two channels 1, and the top cover has at least two channels 2 corresponding to the channels 1; the top cover is fixedly connected to the base, and the channels 1 and 2 together form the water passage.

[0016] In some possible implementations, a fixing part is provided on the base, which is connected to the housing by fasteners, so that the integrated box is mounted on the housing.

[0017] In some possible implementations, the garment handling device further includes: A first cylindrical body is disposed within the box body; and Two second tubular sections are disposed within the housing, respectively located above and to the side of the first tubular section, and positioned on opposite sides of the central axis of the first tubular section in the left-right direction of the garment processing equipment. The diameter of the second tubular section is smaller than that of the first tubular section. This arrangement allows for zoned washing of garments using the first tubular section and the two second tubular sections.

[0018] In some possible implementations, the integrated box is located behind the second cylinder in the front-rear direction to make full use of the rear space inside the box.

[0019] According to the above technical solution, the garment processing equipment includes a box, a drum, and an integrated box. The integrated box is located inside the box and behind the drum in the front-rear direction of the garment processing equipment. The integrated box includes a shell, and the shell forms at least one water passage. With this configuration, at least two isolated water passages in the integrated box can replace part of the water supply pipeline installed in the box, reducing the number of connection points in the water supply pipeline, lowering the complexity of the water supply pipeline layout and installation, simplifying the layout and installation of the water supply pipeline inside the box, and saving the space occupied by the water supply pipeline inside the box.

[0020] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0024] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the garment handling equipment is defined with "up-down direction," "left-right direction," and "back-forward direction." The up-down direction refers to the up-down movement of the garment handling equipment during normal use; the left-right direction refers to the operator's left or right orientation when facing the front panel of the garment handling equipment during normal use; and the back-forward direction refers to the front-forward direction of the garment handling equipment during normal use. Unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner or outer contour relative to the outline of the component or structure itself. Furthermore, it should be noted that terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not indicate sequence or importance. Additionally, in the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same element.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this disclosure provides a garment processing device 100, including a housing 10, a cylinder 50, and an integrated box 20. The integrated box 20 is disposed inside the housing 10 and located behind the cylinder 50 in the front-rear direction of the garment processing device 100. The integrated box 20 includes a housing 21, and the housing 21 forms at least one water passage 22.

[0026] With the above configuration, at least one water passage 22 of the integrated box 20 can replace part of the water supply pipeline in the box 10, reduce the connection points of the water supply pipeline, reduce the complexity of the layout and installation of the water supply pipeline, simplify the layout and installation of the water supply pipeline in the box 10, and save the space occupied by the water supply pipeline in the box 10.

[0027] In some embodiments, when the number of water passages 22 formed by the housing 21 is two or more, the different water passages 22 are isolated from each other, so that each water passage 22 is an independent water passage 22 that is not directly connected to other water passages 22, thereby ensuring that the function of each water passage 22 is performed independently.

[0028] In some embodiments, the water passage 22 includes an inlet passage 221 and / or a return passage 222. This arrangement can replace part of the water supply pipeline in the housing 10, simplifying the layout and installation of the water supply pipeline inside the housing 10.

[0029] The aforementioned water passage 22, including the inlet water passage 221 and / or the return water passage 222, may include various cases, which will be described below.

[0030] In some embodiments, when the housing 21 forms a single water passage 22, this water passage 22 can be a water inlet channel 221. When the garment processing device 100 includes a water inlet valve 30 and a washing box 40 disposed in the housing 10, the two ends of the water inlet channel 221 can be connected to the water inlet of the water inlet valve 30 and the water inlet of the washing box 40, respectively, so that water from the external water passage into the water inlet valve 30 can enter the washing box 40 through the water inlet channel 221.

[0031] In other embodiments, when the housing 21 forms a single water passage 22, the water passage 22 can be a return water passage 222. When the laundry processing device 100 includes a washing box 40 disposed in the housing 10, the two ends of the return water passage 222 can be connected to the water outlet of the washing box 40 and the drum 50 respectively, so that water in the washing box 40 can enter the drum 50 through the return water passage 222.

[0032] In addition, the water passage 22 may include an inlet water passage 221 and a return water passage 222. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the garment processing equipment 100 also includes a water inlet valve 30 and a washing box 40 located inside the housing 10.

[0033] In some embodiments, the water inlet channel 221 can be connected between the water inlet valve 30 and the water inlet of the washing box 40, and water in the water inlet valve 30 can be introduced into the washing box 40 through the water inlet channel 221 of the integrated box 20.

[0034] In other embodiments, the return water channel 222 may be connected between the water outlet of the washing box 40 and the drum 50, so that water in the washing box 40 can be introduced into the drum 50 through the return water channel 222 of the integrated box 20.

[0035] In some embodiments, the external water passage can be connected to the inlet valve 30. After the water from the external water passage enters the inlet valve 30, it passes through the inlet channel 221 of the integrated box 20 and then enters the washing box 40. The water in the washing box 40 then passes through the return channel 222 of the integrated box 20 and enters each drum 50.

[0036] It should be understood that the aforementioned washing box 40 can be a component in the clothing processing equipment 100 used for dispensing detergent. Detergent can be added to the washing box 40, and after water is introduced into the washing box 40 through the water inlet, the water can carry the detergent in the washing box 40 into the drum 50. The washing box 40 can be any type of washing machine washing box commonly used in related technologies, and there is no limitation here.

[0037] In some possible implementations, when there are at least two water passages 22, all water passages 22 can be water inlet channels 221, and water inlet channels 221 can replace part of the water inlet pipes in the housing 10.

[0038] For example, the garment processing device 100 may also include a water inlet valve 30 and a washing box 40 located within the housing 10. There are two water passages 22, both of which are water inlet channels 221. One of the two water inlet channels 221 can be used to connect the water inlet of the water inlet valve 30 and the washing box 40, allowing water from the water inlet valve 30 to flow into the washing box 40 through this water inlet channel 221. The other of the two water inlet channels 221 can serve as a backup. When the currently used water inlet channel 221 malfunctions (e.g., the water inlet channel 221 is blocked or its connection to the pipeline is damaged, preventing normal pipeline connection), the backup water inlet channel 221 can connect the water inlet valve 30 and the washing box 40, eliminating the need to replace the entire integrated housing 20 and simplifying user operation. Of course, one of the two water inlet channels 221 can be used to connect the water inlet valve 30 and the washing box 40, while the other can be used to connect other components of the clothing processing device 100; or, both water inlet channels 221 can be used to connect other components of the clothing processing device 100, without any specific restrictions.

[0039] In some other possible implementations, the two water passages 22 can be respectively water return passages 222, and the two water return passages 222 can replace part of the water return pipe in the housing 10.

[0040] For example, the laundry processing device 100 also includes a water inlet valve 30, a washing box 40, and the aforementioned drum 50, all located within the housing 10. There are two water passages 22, both of which can serve as return water passages 222. One of the two return water passages 222 can connect the outlet of the washing box 40 to the drum 50, allowing water from the washing box 40 to flow into the drum 50 via the return water passage 222 of the integrated box 20. The other of the two return water passages 222 of the integrated box 20 can serve as a backup. When the currently used return water passage 222 malfunctions (e.g., the return water passage 222 is blocked or the interface used to connect the return water passage 222 to the pipeline is damaged, preventing normal pipeline connection), the backup return water passage 222 can connect the washing box 40 to the drum 50 without requiring replacement of the integrated box 20, thus simplifying user operation. Of course, one of the two return water channels 222 can be used to connect the washing box 40 and the drum 50, while the other can be used to connect other components of the clothing processing device 100; or, both return water channels 222 can be used to connect other components of the clothing processing device 100, without any specific limitation.

[0041] In some implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the water inlet valve 30 is located at the rear of the housing 10, and the integrated box 20 is located at the angle between the rear and side of the housing 10 and is set at the top of the housing 10. The washing box 40 is located at the front of the housing 10.

[0042] As mentioned above, the water inlet valve 30 is located at the rear of the housing 10, and the washing box 40 is located at the front of the housing 10. If the water inlet valve 30 and the washing box 40 are connected by a water supply pipe, in order to avoid other components in the housing 10 (such as the drum 50), the water supply pipe needs to extend to the bends at the rear and sides of the housing 10, and then bend again before continuing to extend, which is relatively complicated in terms of layout and installation. In this disclosure, the integrated box 20 is located at the angle between the rear and side of the housing 10. With this arrangement, the water inlet channel 221 of the integrated box 20 can replace part of the water supply pipe located at the angle between the rear and side of the housing 10 for connecting the water inlet valve 30 and the washing box 40, reducing the bends in the water supply pipe layout and simplifying the layout and installation of the water supply pipe.

[0043] In some embodiments, the water inlet valve 30 is located in the middle of the housing 10 in the left-right direction of the clothing processing device 100. This arrangement has two advantages: firstly, the water inlet valve 30 is close to the integrated box 20, which facilitates the rapid flow of water from the external water circuit into the water inlet channel 221 of the integrated box 20; secondly, the water inlet valve 30 is also close to the water-using components on the opposite side of the integrated box 20 where the water inlet valve 30 is located, which facilitates the rapid flow of water from the external water circuit into the water inlet valve 30 into other water-using components.

[0044] In some implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the washing box 40 is positioned near the bottom of the housing 10, which saves space near the top of the housing 10 and allows for the placement of other components of the clothing processing device 100 in the space near the top of the housing 10.

[0045] In some embodiments, as mentioned above, the inlet valve 30 is located at the rear of the tank 10, the integrated box 20 is located at the angle between the rear and side of the tank 10, the integrated box 20 is also located at the top of the tank 10, and the washing box 40 is located at the front of the tank 10, and the washing box 40 is located near the bottom of the tank 10. Thus, as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the water inlet channel 221 includes a first water inlet 2211 extending in the left-right direction of the clothing processing device 100 and used to connect to the water inlet valve 30, and a first drain outlet 2212 extending downward in the up-down direction of the clothing processing device 100 and used to connect to the water inlet of the washing box 40. This facilitates the connection of the pipeline between the water inlet valve 30 and the integrated box 20, as well as the connection of the pipeline between the integrated box 20 and the washing box 40.

[0046] In some embodiments, the return water channel 222 includes a second water inlet 2221 extending downward along the vertical direction of the garment handling device 100 and used to connect to the water outlet of the washing box 40, and a second drain outlet 2222 extending along the horizontal direction of the garment handling device 100 and used to connect to the drum 50. This arrangement facilitates the connection of the pipeline between the washing box 40 and the integrated box 20, as well as the connection of the pipeline between the integrated box 20 and the drum 50.

[0047] In some implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the integrated box 20 also includes an exhaust channel 23 isolated from the water passage 22. The exhaust channel 23 includes an air inlet 231 and an exhaust outlet 232 formed in the housing 21. By integrating the exhaust channel 23 into the integrated box 20, the number of exhaust components in the housing 10 can be reduced, saving space in the housing 10 and facilitating the arrangement of other components within the housing 10 of the clothing processing equipment 100.

[0048] In the above embodiment, the exhaust channel 23 can be used for venting the cylinder 50 in the clothing processing device 100. The cylinder 50 may include a first cylinder 51 and two second cylinders 52. The diameter of the second cylinders 52 is smaller than that of the first cylinder 51. The two second cylinders 52 are located above and to the side of the first cylinder 51. The exhaust channel 23 of the integrated box 20 can be used for venting one of the two second cylinders 52. Specifically, the outlet of the second cylinder 52 can be connected to the inlet 231 of the exhaust channel 23 via an exhaust pipe. The exhaust port 232 of the exhaust channel 23 can extend through the side wall of the box 10 to the outside of the box 10. Gas in the second cylinder 52 enters the exhaust channel 23 of the integrated box 20 through the exhaust pipe and is discharged from the box 10 through the exhaust port 232 after passing through the exhaust channel 23.

[0049] In some implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, during the exhaust process of the second cylinder 52 through the exhaust channel 23 of the integrated box 20, foam can easily enter the exhaust channel 23 of the integrated box 20. On the one hand, this will affect the smoothness of exhaust, and on the other hand, when the foam is discharged outside the box 10 through the exhaust port 232 of the exhaust channel 23, it can easily dirty the side wall of the box 10. Therefore, the integrated box 20 also includes a water inlet 24 formed in the shell 21 and communicating with the exhaust channel 23. The water inlet 24 can be connected to a water source (such as the water inlet valve 30 mentioned above) to inject water into the exhaust channel 23 of the integrated box 20 through the water inlet 24 to eliminate the foam in the exhaust channel 23.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the opening of the water inlet 24 inside the housing 21 can be close to the air inlet 231 of the exhaust channel 23. On the one hand, it is convenient to eliminate the foam entering the exhaust channel 23 through the air inlet 231. On the other hand, it allows the water injected into the exhaust channel 23 through the water inlet 24 to flow back into the second cylinder 52 through the air inlet 231 and the exhaust channel 23, and then be discharged through the water outlet of the second cylinder 52 when the second cylinder 52 is drained.

[0051] It should be understood that the air inlet 231 of the exhaust channel 23 can be higher than the air outlet of the second cylinder 52. In this way, water introduced into the exhaust channel 23 from the water inlet 24 can flow back into the second cylinder 52 through the exhaust outlet 232 of the exhaust channel 23 by gravity. The upper part of the exhaust pipe connecting the air outlet of the second cylinder 52 and the air inlet 231 of the exhaust channel 23 can be used for exhaust, and the lower part can be used for the return of water in the exhaust channel 23.

[0052] In some implementations, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the integrated box 20 also includes a drainage channel 25 isolated from the water passage 22. The drainage channel 25 includes a third water inlet 251 and a third drain outlet 252 formed in the housing 21. The third water inlet 251 is used to connect to the water outlet of the cylinder 50, allowing water in the cylinder 50 to be discharged into the drainage channel 25 of the integrated box 20. The third drain outlet 252 can extend through the side wall of the housing 10 to the outside of the housing 10, so that water in the drainage channel 25 can be discharged out of the housing 10 through the third drain outlet 252. The third water inlet 251 can be located above the third drain outlet 252 in the vertical direction of the clothing processing device 100, so that water entering the drainage channel 25 from the third water inlet 251 can be discharged out of the third drain outlet 252 by gravity.

[0053] In the above embodiment, integrating the drainage channel 25 into the integrated box 20 can reduce the number of drainage components in the box 10 used for drainage of the cylinder 50, thereby saving space in the box 10 and facilitating the arrangement of other components in the box 10 of the clothing processing equipment 100.

[0054] It should be understood that the drainage channel 25 and the exhaust channel 23 are also isolated from each other, which will not be elaborated here.

[0055] As mentioned above, the garment processing device 100 includes a first cylinder 51 and a second cylinder 52. The third inlet 251 of the drainage channel 25 can be connected to the outlet of one of the two second cylinders 52, so that water in the second cylinder 52 can be discharged through the drainage channel 25 of the integrated box 20. The outlet of the second cylinder 52 connected to the drainage channel 25 of the integrated box 20 is located above the third inlet 251 and the third outlet 252 of the drainage channel 25 in the vertical direction of the garment processing device 100, so that water in the second cylinder 52 can be discharged into the drainage channel 25 of the integrated box 20 by gravity and discharged through the third outlet 252 of the drainage channel 25.

[0056] In some embodiments, a water valve may be installed on the pipe connecting the outlet of the second cylinder 52 and the third inlet 251 of the drainage channel 25 of the integrated box 20 to control the opening and closing of the pipe. Furthermore, the garment processing device 100 may also include a pressure sensor connected to the pipe connecting the outlet of the second cylinder 52 and the third inlet 251 of the drainage channel 25 of the integrated box 20, located between the outlet of the second cylinder 52 and the water valve. This pressure sensor can be used to monitor the water pressure in this section of the pipe, thereby monitoring the drainage status of the second cylinder 52. The housing 21 of the integrated box 20 may have a sensor mounting bracket 27, allowing the pressure sensor to be mounted on the integrated box 20 without occupying mounting space for other components on the housing 10, facilitating the installation of other components within the housing 10.

[0057] It should be understood that the drainage and venting of the other of the two second cylinders 52 in the garment processing device 100, as well as the drainage of the first cylinder 51, can be achieved using solutions commonly used in related technologies, which will not be elaborated here.

[0058] In some implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the housing 21 includes a base 212 and a top cover 211. The base 212 has two channels 22a, and the top cover 211 has at least two channels 22b corresponding to the channels 22a. The top cover 211 is fixedly connected to the base 212, and the channels 22a and 22b together form a water passage 22.

[0059] Of course, the fixed connection between the base 212 and the top cover 211 of the housing 21 can also form a drainage channel 25 and an exhaust channel 23. The mutual isolation between the drainage channel 25, the exhaust channel 23 and the water passage channel 22 can be achieved by setting a sealant or a sealing strip at the connection between the base 212 and the top cover 211, which will not be elaborated here.

[0060] In some embodiments, a fixing part 26 is provided on the housing 21, and the fixing part 26 is connected to the housing 10 by fasteners so that the integrated box 20 is installed on the housing 10.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing part 26 may be provided with a screw hole, and a screw can be passed through the rear side wall of the housing 10 and inserted into the screw hole to detachably install the integrated box 20 on the rear side wall of the housing 10.

[0062] In some embodiments, as mentioned above, the garment processing device 100 includes a first drum 51 and two second drums 52 disposed within a housing 10. The two second drums 52 are respectively located above and to the side of the first drum 51, and are positioned on opposite sides of the central axis of the first drum 51 in the left-right direction of the garment processing device 100. The diameter of the second drums 52 is smaller than the diameter of the first drum 51. The first drum 51 and the two second drums 52 enable zoned washing of garments.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the garment processing device 100 includes a first tub 51 and two second tubs 52, the second water inlet 2221 of the integrated box 20 can be connected to the water outlet of the washing box 40, and the second drain outlet 2222 of the return water channel 222 of the integrated box 20 can be used to connect the first tub 51 and the two second tubs 52 respectively. A water pump (not shown) can also be installed on the pipeline connecting the water outlet of the washing box 40 and the second water inlet 2221 of the integrated box 20 to pump the water of the washing box 40 to the first tub 51 and the two second tubs 52 respectively through the return water channel 222.

[0064] In some possible implementations, valves (not shown) may be installed on the pipelines connecting the integrated box 20 to the first cylinder 51 and the two second cylinders 52 to control the on / off state of the pipelines, which will not be described in detail here.

[0065] In some embodiments, the integrated box 20 is located behind the second cylinder 52 in the front-rear direction of the garment handling device 100 to make full use of the rear space inside the box 10.

[0066] Combination Figures 1 to 5 The operation of the garment processing device 100 is described exemplarily, wherein, Figure 5The direction of the middle arrow indicates the flow direction of the fluid in the pipeline. The integrated box 20 includes two water passages 22, a drain passage 25, and an exhaust passage 23. The water passages 22 of the integrated box 20 include an inlet passage 221 and a return passage 222. The inlet valve 30 is connected to the first inlet 2211 of the inlet passage 221 via a pipeline. The first outlet of the drain passage 25 is connected to the inlet of the washing box 40 via a pipeline. The drain outlet of the washing box 40 is connected to the second inlet 2221 of the return passage 222 via a pipeline. A water pump can be installed on the pipeline connecting the drain outlet of the washing box 40 and the second inlet 2221 of the return passage 222. The outlet of water channel 222 is connected to the first cylinder 51 and two second cylinders 52 via pipes. The air outlet of the second cylinder 52 closest to the integrated box 20 is connected to the air inlet 231 of the exhaust channel 23 via an exhaust pipe. The exhaust outlet 232 of the exhaust channel 23 extends out of the box 10 through the side wall. The housing 21 of the integrated box 20 is provided with a water inlet 24 connected to the exhaust channel 23. The water inlet 24 is connected to the water inlet valve 30 via a pipe. The outlet of the second cylinder 52 closest to the integrated box 20 is connected to the third water inlet 251 of the drainage channel 25 of the integrated box 20 via a pipe. The third outlet of the drainage channel 25 extends out of the box 10 through the side wall. The water inlet valve 30 can be connected to an external water system.

[0067] When water is introduced into the first cylinder 51 and the two second cylinders 52 respectively, the water in the external water circuit can flow through the inlet valve 30 to the drain channel 25, and after passing through the drain channel 25, it flows into the washing box 40. The water in the washing box 40 can be pumped by the water pump in the pipeline between the outlet of the washing box 40 and the second inlet 2221 of the return water channel 222 to the return water channel 222, and after passing through the return water channel 222, it flows into the first cylinder 51 and the two second cylinders 52 respectively.

[0068] When the second cylinder 52, which is located near the integrated box 20, is vented, the water in the second cylinder 52 flows through the vent of the second cylinder 52 to the venting channel 23 of the integrated box 20, and is discharged outside the box 10 through the venting port 232 of the venting channel 23. During the venting process, water from the water inlet valve 30 can be injected into the venting channel 23 through the water inlet 24 to eliminate foam in the venting channel 23. The water injected into the venting channel 23 can flow back into the second cylinder 52 through the venting pipe connecting the vent of the second cylinder 52 and the venting port 231 of the venting channel 23.

[0069] When the second cylinder 52 arranged near the integrated box 20 drains water, the water in the second cylinder 52 flows through the outlet of the second cylinder 52 to the drainage channel 25 of the integrated box 20. The water in the drainage channel 25 can be discharged to the outside of the box 10 through the third drain outlet 252 of the drainage channel 25. The outer shell of the box 10 is provided with a pipe connected to the third drain outlet 252 so as to discharge the water flowing out of the third drain outlet 252 to a preset position.
