Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filtration and collection technology, specifically to a filtration and collection device and a washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Current washing machines primarily assess their ability to remove sweat and dirt during the washing process. However, during washing, clothes accumulate lint, fibers, and particulate contaminants. These contaminants, along with undissolved chemical cleaning agent particles, adhere to the washing machine's tripod, lifting ribs, drying channel, and drum walls. Consequently, the cleanliness of clothes after washing is poor, requiring secondary cleaning. This leads to a significant accumulation of dirt, bacteria, and secondary contamination in washing machines over long-term use.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to include a structure in washing machines to collect and filter lint, fabric fibers, particulate contaminants, and undissolved chemical cleaning agent particles. However, existing designs and applications have the following problems regarding the above issues: 1. Collection and filtration device in drum washing machines: Currently, drum washing machines on the market basically do not have the function of filtering and collecting lint, lint, fabric lint, and particulate pollutants.

[0004] 2. A very small number of drum washing machines involve a filter collection device, but this requires a system that converts the detergent particles into foam before the washing process to avoid detergent collection. However, after the detergent particles are converted into foam, most of them float on top of the clothes, making it difficult to achieve optimal cleaning power. Drum washing machines use less water to achieve good tumbling power during the washing process. However, because drum washing machines use less water, there is a problem that clothes are not rinsed clean during the rinsing process. A large amount of foam is generated. Although it avoids the collection of detergent particles, it makes the problem of incomplete rinsing of foam on clothes more serious. Excessive foam makes the inner drum wall and lifting ribs smoother, which reduces the lifting ribs' ability to lift clothes, further reducing the tumbling power. At the same time, the smooth inner drum wall reduces the contact friction between the clothes and the inner drum wall, weakening the cleaning power. Because the system that converts the added detergent particles into foam and the filter and collection device for lint, lint, fabric lint, and particulate pollutants are too large overall, and there is insufficient space between the outer drum and the shell of the pulsator washing machine, they cannot be installed in the pulsator washing machine. As a result, the pulsator washing machine still uses the early filter collection box structure to collect lint, lint, fabric lint, and particulate pollutants.

[0005] 3. The water inlet of the filter collection device developed by the inventor in the early stage was located in the area between the inner drum and the outer drum of the washing machine. Due to market competition, the washing capacity of the inner drum has been increasing and the space between the inner and outer drums of the washing machine has become narrow, which has limited the size of the water inlet of the filter collection device and thus compressed the water flow. Although it meets the application, the more efficient filtration capacity is limited when the user chooses a quick wash. The design structure of this invention requires the user to clean the filter collection device after a certain period of use. Furthermore, the filtration and collection device developed by the inventors in the early stage could only achieve the function of filtration and collection when the inner drum rotated, allowing fluid to enter the filtration and collection device from the inlet. However, since the inner drum rotates reciprocally, it is in an intermittent state each time the rotation direction changes, and the collection and filtration function cannot be achieved at this time. As a result, the filtration and collection does not make full use of the washing time.

[0006] 4. During the washing process, laundry detergent is more effective at cleaning clothes than liquid detergent, and most users wash with cold water. Therefore, when users add laundry detergent granules into the washing machine through the water inlet, they are not completely dissolved. Furthermore, they tend to clump together when exposed to cold water. This causes the existing filtration and collection structure to accumulate, pile up, and clog more quickly when dealing with lint, yarn, fabric debris, and other contaminant particles after washing. Consequently, the filtration and collection efficiency declines rapidly, ultimately failing to provide a good user experience. Crucially, the large amount of undissolved laundry detergent particles collected during the washing process dilutes the detergent, reducing its ability to clean sweat stains and dirt from clothes.

[0007] The following derivative problems exist with existing front-loading and top-loading washing machines used by users: 1. Washing time is long. Users find that the cleaning effect is not ideal during the washing process. The simplest way is to extend the washing time. As a result, users have reported that the washing time of drum washing is longer than that of pulsator washing, which also causes inconvenience to users' life and work. 2. The wear and tear on clothing depends on the duration of cleaning, which leads to excessive soaking, washing, and rinsing of clothes with chemical detergents, thus reducing the value of the laundry care process. 3. Long-term use of washing and rinsing equipment causes unnecessary mechanical and physical wear and tear on the equipment and electrical control system, reducing the service life of the equipment and increasing the cost of replacement parts and maintenance. 4. Water and electricity consumption: In order to achieve the goal of cleanliness, users use delayed washing and repeatedly rinse with stored water to clean clothes, which leads to an increase in water and electricity consumption in the long run and a waste of natural resources. 5. Excessive use of chemical detergents or higher prices for detergent brands not only damages clothing due to excessive chemical application, but also reduces rinsing and cleaning effectiveness due to excessive chemical residue. This repeatedly increases the cost of using chemical detergents and increases pollution of social water resources and the environment. 6. Accumulation of Dirt and Glue: Due to the inefficient filtration capacity of top-loading washing machines and the lack of a filtration structure in front-loading washing machines, the uneven and irregular structure between the inner and outer drums, such as the impeller, tripod, lifting ribs, inner drum grille, and collection box base, prolongs the time for lint and contaminants to adhere. Therefore, washing machines that have been used for many years are severely contaminated when disassembled and cleaned. 7. The growth of bacteria not only makes it easy for pollutants to adhere to the surface and cause contamination during the second washing process, but also generates a large number of bacteria, thus providing a favorable and unfavorable environment for the rapid spread of bacteria in public places such as hospitals, hotels, schools, dormitories, community laundromats, and coin-operated laundromats. 8. Increased consumables: Top-loading washing machines have poor collection capabilities, while front-loading washing machines have no collection at all. Long-term use leads to serious accumulation of dirt and bacteria inside the washing machine. Obviously, washing machines used for many years pose a serious health risk to children, women, and the elderly. Users start to buy various chemical cleaners, cleaning brushes, and disassembly tools for cleaning the washing machine drum. However, because the cleanliness of the drum is unclear and the cleaning capacity and energy efficiency cannot be tested, frequent cleaning results in significant financial expenditure for users and chemical pollution of water resources. DIY disassembly and cleaning requires users to spend a lot of time and manpower, and improper disassembly and installation may cause damage to the equipment. 9. Even when the cleaning equipment is in good working order and does not need to be replaced, the inner and outer drums of the washing machine accumulate a large amount of dirt and grime, leading to secondary pollution problems during the washing process. Furthermore, bacterial growth poses unpredictable health risks, forcing users to pay for on-site disassembly and cleaning services. The key issue is that comprehensive on-site disassembly and cleaning methods fail to achieve real-time cleaning and health protection for users.

[0008] Existing collection and filtration devices, due to the unidirectional flow of fluid, are more prone to clogging of the filter screen by lint, fuzz, textile lint, and particulate pollutants collected by the device. After the equipment has finished operating, it cannot achieve self-cleaning of the filter screen.

[0009] The drawbacks of existing filter collection structures: 1. Static adhesion makes it difficult to clean existing filter collection structures. During filtration and collection, the fluid carries the collected material to statically adhere to the filter screen surface in the chamber. As the fluid always passes through the filter screen in a directional manner, the adhesion between the collected material and the filter screen intensifies, making it difficult to clean thoroughly when the fluid is discharged. This leads to filter screen blockage. Furthermore, during equipment operation intervals, the collected material condenses on the filter screen, making it even more difficult for the collected material to self-clean. Over time, this results in cumulative filter screen blockage and eventually the failure of the filtration and collection function. 2. Obstruction of discharge and residue: When the existing filter collection structure is used to discharge and clean the collected materials, there is a problem that the discharged materials are not smooth and remain in the filter collection chamber, which leads to the formation of filter screen blockage. When the equipment is not working, the collected materials condense on the filter screen, making it even more difficult to clean later. This leads to the accumulation of blockages and eventually the failure of the filter collection function. 3. Lack of Impact Force and Residual Dirt: In existing filter collection structures, when fluid enters the filter collection chamber to clean the collected material, the flow rate is weak, resulting in insufficient impact force on the inner surface of the filter screen to achieve a cleaning effect. This leads to the accumulation of contaminants on the filter screen surface within the chamber, causing filter clogging. Furthermore, when the equipment is not in operation and the filter collection chamber is not wetted by fluid, the collected material adheres even more firmly to the filter screen surface, further hindering the self-cleaning process. Long-term use leads to cumulative clogging and functional failure. 4. Collecting and diluting chemical particles: Firstly, laundry detergent has a stronger chemical cleaning ability than liquid detergent, and most users wash with cold water. When laundry detergent granules are added to the washing machine drum, they do not dissolve quickly and tend to clump together with cold water. Therefore, in the incompletely dissolved state, during the filtration and collection process, due to the directional collection of fluids and the accumulation of collected materials, the incompletely dissolved laundry detergent particles are also collected into the aggregated lint, fuzz, and fabric fibers. This results in the dilution of the user's laundry detergent during the filtration and collection process, reducing the effectiveness of cleaning sweat stains and dirt on clothes. At the same time, if other chemical cleaning agents are added, such as those used to clean the dirt and grime trapped in the inner drum, the dirt and grime will be removed and collected during filtration and collection, thus achieving the simultaneous filtration and collection of dirt and grime and chemical cleaning agents. 5. Accumulated Filtration Due to the accumulation and clogging of lint, fuzz, textile lint, and particulate matter in the directional filtration system, the filtration efficiency gradually decreases. As the filter becomes increasingly clogged, the pump, which is designed to drive the fluid flow rate, experiences overload. Consequently, the pump power configuration needs to be adjusted based on the flow rate generated by the clogged filter, resulting in under-configured collection power and poor filtration efficiency. 6. Inability to Increase Filter Mesh Size: Users increasingly demand cleaner washing machines to remove lint, fuzz, and particulate matter after washing, and are concerned about the health effects of dirt and bacteria buildup inside the washing machine. Increasing filter density significantly improves filtration efficiency, but current fluid-directed filtration systems still cannot solve the problem of clogging, and achieving thorough automatic cleaning and drainage is even more difficult. Therefore, some users with limited budgets can only add a dryer to further remove lint and fuzz during the drying stage. However, this is obviously more cumbersome and costly, and the washing process still fails to effectively address dirt accumulation, bacterial growth, secondary pollution, and health concerns. Utility Model Content

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a filter collection device and a washing machine that prevents filtration devices from clogging and ensures filtration efficiency.

[0011] This utility model discloses a filtration and collection device, including a filtration and collection body, a filtration and collection chamber, a filtration inlet and a filtration outlet, and a filtration and collection structure for filtering impurities, which is sealed on the filtration outlet. The filtration and collection structure is made of a soft material. Both the filter inlet and the filter outlet are connected to the filter collection chamber. It also includes a housing, the filter collection body is disposed inside the housing, the housing is provided with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, the fluid inlet is connected to the filter inlet, and the fluid outlet is connected to the filter outlet; An inlet pipe is connected to the fluid inlet, and an outlet pipe is connected to the fluid outlet; The outlet pipe is equipped with a drive device for driving fluid flow. The housing is equipped with a toggle device that drives the filter collection structure to be in an active state within the housing.

[0012] Preferably, the housing is provided with a receiving chamber, the filter collection body is disposed in the receiving chamber, the area between the housing and the filter collection body is the filtered area, and the filter outlet is connected to the fluid outlet through the filtered area.

[0013] Preferably, the housing is provided with a tumbling step, and the filter collection structure is a collection bag. When the fluid flows through the collection bag to the fluid outlet under the action of the driving force, the end of the collection bag away from the filter outlet moves to the fluid outlet. When the driving force decreases or is lost, the end of the collection bag away from the filter outlet moves toward the tumbling step and tumbles on the tumbling step.

[0014] Preferably, the cross-section of the accommodating chamber is fan-shaped.

[0015] Preferably, a counterweight is provided at the end of the filter collection structure away from the filter outlet.

[0016] Preferably, the filter collection body and the housing are connected by a quick-release structure.

[0017] Preferably, the filter collection structure is provided with a filter surface for fluid outflow, the filter surface is located away from the filter outlet on the filter collection structure, and filter holes are evenly distributed on the filter surface.

[0018] Preferably, the filter surface is positioned facing the fluid outlet.

[0019] Preferably, both the filter inlet and the filter outlet are located on the circumferential surface of the filter collection body.

[0020] Preferably, the fluid outlet is flat.

[0021] Preferably, the actuating device includes a turbine that utilizes fluid impact to filter and collect the structure. The turbine is rotatably disposed inside the housing and is oriented toward the filter and collect structure. A turbine drive motor that drives the turbine to rotate is connected to the turbine and is located outside the housing. Preferably, the actuating device includes a actuating blade that contacts the filter collection structure. The actuating blade is rotatably connected to the housing via an actuating shaft. An actuating motor is connected to one end of the actuating shaft, and the actuating motor is located outside the housing.

[0022] Preferably, the actuating device is the driving device, and the driving device is a frequency converter. The fluid outlet is connected to an outlet pipe via an outlet connector, and the end of the outlet connector closest to the fluid outlet is matched with the fluid outlet.

[0023] A washing machine includes a washing machine housing and an outer drum. A filter collection device is provided in the area between the washing machine housing and the outer drum. The inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are both connected to the outer drum at the ends away from the filter collection body, and are connected to the internal area of ​​the outer drum.

[0024] This invention utilizes a fluid-filled filter collection structure made of soft material to filter and collect impurities from the fluid as it flows out. During this process, a toggle device drives the filter collection structure to operate within the housing, causing relative movement of the collected lint, fuzz, lint, and particulate matter. This prevents these impurities from adhering to the filter collection structure. By using the toggle device to keep the filter collection structure in operation within the housing, the increasing amount of deposits on the filter collection structure prevents the filtration effect from continuously decreasing.

[0025] This invention utilizes a mesh collection bag to filter and collect lint, fuzz, textile fibers, and particulate matter. The mesh collection bag is tumbled onto a step, causing the collected lint, fuzz, textile fibers, and particulate matter to move relative to the mesh collection bag. This prevents the filtration effect from continuously decreasing due to the accumulation of deposits on the filtration structure. Simultaneously, the tumbling action of the mesh collection bag causes the collected lint, fuzz, textile fibers, and particulate matter to adhere to the mesh collection bag and aggregate, eventually detaching from the bag. This cleans the collection bag, prevents clogging, and ensures unobstructed flow. Furthermore, it promotes the rapid dissolution of undissolved detergent particles, allowing the dissolved particles to circulate back into the washing machine for efficient cleaning of clothes, effectively removing sweat and stains and improving the washing machine's washing efficiency.

[0026] This invention utilizes a turbine rotation to drive fluid to impact the collection bag, causing impurities in the fluid to dynamically tumble within the bag, thus achieving filtration and collection without the impurities adhering to the filter screen. This keeps the mesh collection bag in an active state, preventing the accumulation of deposits that could lead to a continuous decrease in filtration efficiency. When used in a washing machine, the mesh collection bag's active state allows undissolved detergent particles to collide and rub against each other, promoting detergent dissolution. This allows the quickly dissolved detergent to be dispensed into the inner drum, ensuring more thorough contact with the clothes and improving cleaning effectiveness, thus guaranteeing cleanliness even for users who require quick washes.

[0027] This invention utilizes a toggle motor to drive the toggle blades to rotate. Because the mesh collection bag is in contact with the toggle blades, the mesh collection bag floats with the toggle blades as they rotate, thus keeping the mesh collection bag in an active state. This prevents the accumulation of deposits on the mesh collection bag from causing a continuous decrease in filtration efficiency. When this device is used in a washing machine, the mesh collection bag floats with the toggle blades as they rotate, keeping it in an active state. This facilitates the dissolution of laundry detergent and allows the quickly dissolved detergent to be added to the inner drum area, ensuring more thorough contact with the clothes and improving the cleaning effect. This is beneficial for users who require quick washes to guarantee clean clothes.

[0028] This invention not only enables the collection and filtration of lint, fibers, and particulate matter, eliminating the need for secondary lint removal after washing, but also solves the problem of pet hair being difficult to remove from clothes. It also reduces the accumulation of dirt and grime between the inner and outer drums of the washing machine, effectively reducing bacterial growth. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0044] The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] See Figure 1-8 As shown, a filtration and collection device includes a filtration and collection body 2, a filtration and collection chamber 11 is provided inside the filtration and collection body 2, a filtration inlet 3 and a filtration outlet 4 are provided on the filtration and collection body 2, and a filtration and collection structure for filtering impurities is provided on the filtration outlet 4. The filtration and collection structure is a filtration and collection structure made of soft material. Both the filter inlet 3 and the filter outlet 4 are connected to the filter collection chamber 11; It also includes a housing 1, the filter collection body 2 is disposed inside the housing 1, the housing 1 is provided with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet 10, the fluid inlet is connected to the filter inlet 3, and the fluid outlet 10 is connected to the filter outlet 4; An inlet pipe 6 is connected to the fluid inlet, and an outlet pipe 5 is connected to the fluid outlet; The outlet pipe 5 is equipped with a drive device for driving fluid flow. The housing 1 is equipped with a toggle device that drives the filter collection structure to be in an active state within the housing 1.

[0046] In use, the fluid enters the filter collection chamber 11 through the fluid inlet 3 and the filter collection structure. After passing through the filter collection structure, it flows out through the fluid outlet 10 from the filter outlet 4. Impurities in the fluid are trapped in the filter collection chamber 11 by the filter collection structure, thus achieving the filtration and collection of impurities in the fluid. In actual use, the filter collection structure can be made of soft materials as in the prior art. When filtering and collecting impurities in the fluid, the filter collection structure is in a state of oscillation with the fluid, so that the impurities collected in the filter collection structure are also in a state of movement. During this process, the filter collection structure is in an active state in the housing 1 by using a toggle device, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the filtration effect will continuously decrease due to the increase of deposits on the filter collection structure.

[0047] In one embodiment, a receiving chamber is provided inside the housing 1, and the filter collection body 2 is disposed inside the receiving chamber. The area between the housing 1 and the filter collection body 2 is the filtered area. The filter outlet 4 is connected to the fluid outlet 10 through the filtered area. The fluid enters the filter chamber through the inlet pipe 6, then enters the filtered area through the filter collection structure at the filter outlet 4, and finally flows out from the fluid outlet 10.

[0048] In one embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a tumbling step, and the filter collection structure is a collection bag 7. When the fluid flows through the collection bag 7 to the fluid outlet 10 under the action of the driving force, the end of the collection bag 7 away from the filter outlet 4 moves to the fluid outlet 10. When the driving force decreases or is lost, the end of the collection bag 7 away from the filter outlet 4 moves toward the tumbling step and tumbles on the tumbling step, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the filtration effect will continuously decrease due to the increase of the deposits on the filter collection structure.

[0049] In one embodiment, the accommodating chamber has a fan-shaped cross-section. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the fluid outlet 10 is located on the circumferential surface of the housing 1 and is positioned near an inner wall of the accommodating chamber. This inner wall is the inner top wall. The other inner wall of the accommodating chamber on the circumferential surface of the housing 1 is the inner bottom wall. The inner top wall is located above the inner bottom wall, which is the impact step. When fluid flows through the collection bag 7 to the fluid outlet 10 under the action of driving force, the end of the collection bag 7 near the fluid outlet 10 moves towards the inner top wall and then to the fluid outlet 10. When the driving force decreases or is lost, the end of the collection bag 7 near the fluid outlet 10 moves towards the impact step and impacts the step. This ensures that the debris collected in the collection bag 7 is in a constant state of motion, preventing the filtration effect from continuously decreasing due to the increase of deposits on the filter collection structure.

[0050] In one embodiment, a counterweight is provided at the end of the filter collection structure away from the filter outlet 4. The purpose is to make it easier for the end of the collection bag 7 away from the filter outlet 4 to hit the impact step when the driving force decreases or is lost, and at the same time increase the impact intensity of the collection bag 7 on the impact step.

[0051] In one embodiment, the fluid outlet 10 is flat; see [link to previous embodiment]. Figure 6 As shown, the fluid outlet 10 is flat, and a pump 12 is installed on the outlet pipe 5 to increase the fluid pressure at the fluid outlet 10. Since the shape of the end of the collection bag 7 away from the filter outlet 4 matches the shape of the fluid outlet 10, the pressure of the fluid flowing through the filter outlet 4 and through the collection bag 7 increases, which helps to increase the lifting capacity of the end of the collection bag 7 away from the filter outlet 4, thereby achieving better tumbling.

[0052] In one embodiment, the filter collection body 2 and the housing 1 are connected by a quick-release structure, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the filter collection body 2 and the housing 1, and makes it easier to clean the debris collected in the filter chamber.

[0053] In one embodiment, see Figure 6-7As shown, the quick-release structure includes a connecting seat 8, with an external thread on the circumferential surface of the connecting seat 8. The housing 1 has a connecting hole 9 communicating with the accommodating chamber, with an internal thread on the connecting hole 9. The connecting seat 8 is connected to the housing 1 through the matching external thread and internal thread. The filter collection body 2 is fixedly mounted on one end of the fixed base. A connecting pin is fixedly mounted at the center of the end of the fixed base away from the filter collection body 2. A pin hole is provided on the connecting base 8. After the connecting pin extends into the pin hole, a retaining spring is connected. The outer diameter of the retaining spring is larger than the diameter of the pin hole.

[0054] In use, the filter collection body 2 and the housing 1 can be disassembled and assembled by rotating the connecting seat 8. When the filter collection body 2 is installed on the housing 1, after aligning the filter inlet 3 on the filter collection body 2 with the fluid inlet on the housing 1, insert the end of the filter collection body 2 away from the connecting seat 8 into the connecting hole 9, and then rotate the connecting seat 8 in the opposite direction. The filter collection body 2 does not rotate with the connecting seat 8. The external thread on the connecting seat 8 matches and connects with the internal thread on the connecting hole 9. When the connecting seat 8 is rotated into place, the filter inlet 3 corresponds to the fluid inlet and is sealed. In order to further ensure the sealing, a sealing ring can be set at the fluid inlet to achieve the sealing after the filter inlet 3 and the fluid inlet are connected.

[0055] Alternatively, guide posts can be fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the fixed seat, and guide grooves corresponding to the guide posts can be provided on the inner circumferential surface of the housing 1. During use, the guide grooves and guide posts are used to position the filter inlet 3 and the fluid inlet.

[0056] In one embodiment, the collection bag 7 is a mesh collection bag 7, and the mesh collection bag 7 is made of the appropriate material in the prior art according to the actual use.

[0057] In one embodiment, the filter collection structure is provided with a filter surface for fluid outflow. The filter surface is located away from the filter outlet 4 and is provided on the filter collection structure. Filter holes are evenly distributed on the filter surface, and the filter surface is used to filter and collect impurities in the fluid.

[0058] In one embodiment, both the filter inlet 3 and the filter outlet 4 are disposed on the circumferential surface of the filter collection body 2.

[0059] In one embodiment, see Figure 9 As shown, an inlet pipe 6 is connected to the fluid inlet, and an outlet pipe 5 is connected to the fluid outlet 10 through an outlet connector. The end of the outlet connector near the fluid outlet 10 is matched with the fluid outlet 10.

[0060] In one embodiment, the actuating device includes a turbine 15 that utilizes fluid impact to filter and collect the structure. The turbine 15 is rotatably disposed within the housing and faces the filter and collect structure. A turbine drive motor is connected to the turbine 15 to drive its rotation, and the turbine drive motor is located outside the housing. In use, after the fluid enters the collection and filtration chamber 12, it flows out from the outlet pipe. The turbine drive motor drives the turbine 15 to rotate, and the turbine 15 faces the mesh collection bag 7. The turbine 15 drives the fluid to impact the mesh collection bag 7, causing the mesh collection bag 7 to be in an active state, i.e., the mesh collection bag is in a non-static state. This avoids the phenomenon of continuous attenuation of the filtration effect due to the increase of deposits on the mesh collection bag. When this device is used in a washing machine, the mesh collection bag 7 is in an active state, and the undissolved detergent particles in the mesh collection bag collide and rub against each other, which is conducive to the dissolution of the detergent. At the same time, the quickly dissolved detergent is put into the inner area of ​​the outer drum 14, making more full contact with the clothes and improving the cleaning effect of the clothes. This is beneficial for ensuring the cleaning effect of clothes under the user's demand for quick washing.

[0061] In one embodiment, the actuating device includes actuating blades 16 that contact the filter collection structure. The actuating blades 16 are rotatably connected to the housing via an actuating shaft. An actuating motor is connected to one end of the actuating shaft and is located outside the housing. The actuating motor drives the actuating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the actuating blades 16 to rotate. Since the mesh collection bag is in contact with the actuating blades 16, the mesh collection bag floats with the actuating blades 16 as they rotate, thus keeping the mesh collection bag in an active state. This prevents the accumulation of deposits on the mesh collection bag, which would otherwise cause a continuous decrease in filtration efficiency. When this device is used in a washing machine, the mesh collection bag floats with the actuating blades 16 as they rotate, keeping the mesh collection bag in an active state. This facilitates the dissolution of laundry detergent and allows the quickly dissolved detergent to be added to the inner area of ​​the outer drum 14, ensuring more thorough contact with the clothes and improving the cleaning effect. This is beneficial for ensuring the cleanliness of clothes even with quick washes.

[0062] In one embodiment, the actuating device is the driving device, and the outlet pipe 5 is equipped with a driving device for driving fluid flow. The driving device is a variable frequency drive device. In use, the driving device is a variable frequency pump 12. The variable frequency pump 12 drives the fluid to flow from the inlet pipe 6 through the collection bag 7 and then into the outlet pipe 5, thereby achieving the filtration and collection of impurities in the fluid. This utility model can be used in various scenarios. For example, water from a fish tank can be drawn out from the inlet pipe 6, filtered by the collection bag 7, and then returned to the fish tank through the outlet pipe 5, thus constructing a circulating filtration system for the water in the fish tank.

[0063] In one embodiment, see Figure 10-12As shown, a washing machine includes a washing machine housing 13 and an outer drum 14. A filter collection device is provided in the area between the washing machine housing 13 and the outer drum 14. The inlet pipe 6 and the outlet pipe 5 are both connected to the outer drum 14 at the ends away from the filter collection body 2, and are connected to the internal area of ​​the outer drum 14.

[0064] During use, clothes are washed or rinsed in the washing machine, which can be a top-loading washing machine, a front-loading washing machine, or a washer-dryer combo, etc. During the cleaning process, the clothes are located inside the outer drum 14, and water and detergent are used to clean them. During this process, lint, lint, and particulate matter from the clothes will be mixed in with the water flow. Under the action of the variable frequency pump 12 installed on the outlet pipe 5, the water flow from the outer drum 14 is introduced into the filter collection chamber 11 through the inlet pipe 6, and after passing through the collection bag 7, it flows back to the outer drum 14 of the washing machine from the outlet pipe 5. The collection bag 7 removes the contents contained in the fluid. The system filters and traps lint, fuzz, and particulate matter, preventing them from passing through the collection bag 7 and entering the outlet pipe 5. This achieves filtration of lint, fuzz, and particulate matter in the water flow, thus creating a circulating filtration and collection system for debris in the washing machine's water flow. This minimizes contamination of clothes and also helps to increase the rinsing speed, reduce rinsing time, and save energy. When the collected lint, fuzz, and particulate matter needs to be discharged, the filter collection body 2 is removed from the shell 1 to clean up the lint, fuzz, and particulate matter.

[0065] When the collection bag 7 collects lint, fuzz, and particulate matter, it also collects undissolved detergent particles. When the variable frequency pump 12 operates at high power, the fluid enters the collection filter chamber, passes through the collection bag 7, and then flows back to the outer drum 14 of the washing machine from the outlet pipe 5. During this process, the end of the filter bag near the fluid outlet 10 is lifted by the fluid driving force and moves towards the fluid outlet 10. After a certain interval, the variable frequency pump 12 automatically switches to low power operation, and the fluid enters the collection filter chamber at a reduced flow rate. Under the action of force and counterweight, the end of the collection bag 7 near the fluid outlet 10 moves toward the inner wall of the filter collection chamber 11 away from the fluid outlet 10, that is, toward the tumbling step, and tumbles onto the tumbling step; the end of the collection bag 7 near the fluid outlet 10 is in a swinging state, which is conducive to the undissolved detergent particles being in a dynamic state, contacting and rubbing with the collected material and the inner wall of the collection bag 7, which helps to dissolve the undissolved detergent particles; when the collection bag 7 tumbles onto the tumbling step, the effect of rapid dissolution of undissolved detergent particles is enhanced.

[0066] Then the variable frequency pump 12 continues to work, repeating the above actions. The fluid enters the collection and filtration chamber from the outer cylinder 14, passes through the collection bag 7, and flows back to the outer cylinder 14 from the fluid outlet 10. The end of the filter bag near the fluid outlet 10 is lifted by the fluid driving force and moves toward the fluid outlet 10. This cycle repeats, so that the collection bag 7 is dropped on the tumbling step at regular intervals, avoiding the phenomenon of continuous decay of filtration effect caused by the increase of deposits on the filter collection structure. At the same time, it enables the quick-dissolving laundry detergent to be put into the inner area of ​​the outer cylinder 14, making more full contact with the clothes and improving the cleaning effect of the clothes. This is conducive to ensuring the cleaning effect of clothes under the user's demand for quick washing.
