Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application is filed based on the Chinese patent application with application number 202210564471.X and filing date May 23, 2022, and claims the priority of the Chinese patent application. Herein, the entire content of the Chinese patent application is incorporated into this application by reference.

[0002] This application relates to the technical field of clothing treatment, and specifically provides a clothing treatment device.

Background Art

[0003] Conventional clothing treatment devices mainly clean dirt by combining chemical dissolution of detergents and mechanical agitation. For example, a vertical washing machine immerses clothes in water in which the detergent is dissolved, and the pulsator rolls to scrub the clothes. A drum washing machine immerses clothes in water in which the detergent is dissolved, and the lifter beats the clothes. In order to remove dirt, conventional detergents need to be dissolved in water, so it is necessary to immerse clothes in water for washing. For clothes that are not suitable for being treated with water, they are easily damaged. Moreover, both the agitation by the pulsator and the beating by the lifter act on the clothes with mechanical force, and both may damage the clothes to varying degrees, which is disadvantageous to people's care needs for clothes.

[0004] On the premise of effectively cleaning dirt, reducing the damage caused by mechanical agitation to clothes, and how to adapt to the cleaning and care of different types of clothes, especially high-quality clothes, are currently one of the problems that need to be urgently solved in the clothing treatment device industry.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0028] Unless there is a contradiction, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features of the embodiments can be combined. The detailed description of the specific implementation manners should be understood as an interpretation and explanation of the gist of the present application and should not be treated as an undue limitation to the present application.

[0029] In the description of the present application, the azimuth or positional relationship of "left", "right", "front", and "rear" is shown based on FIG. 1, the azimuth or positional relationship of "top" and "bottom" is shown based on FIGS. 3, 9, and 10, and the azimuth or positional relationship of "up", "down", and "vertical direction" is shown based on FIG. 10. It should be noted that these azimuth terms are only used to facilitate the description of the present application and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the indicated devices or elements should have a specific azimuth, be configured, and be operated in a specific azimuth. Therefore, it should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0030] In related technologies, some types of clothing treatment devices have the function of air wash, and can perform treatments such as care, wrinkle removal, and odor removal on clothing, but the effect of removing dirt on clothing is not ideal.

[0031] Embodiments of the present application provide a clothing treatment device. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 10, the clothing treatment device includes a box body 60 and a barrel component 10, where the barrel component 10 is provided inside the box body 60. The box body 60 serves as the external component of the clothing treatment device. The barrel component 10 includes a clothing treatment barrel 12, and the clothing treatment barrel 12 has a clothing treatment chamber for accommodating clothing waiting to be treated. In order to realize washing and removing dirt from clothing, the clothing treatment device is further provided with a dry cleaning agent injection system. The dry cleaning agent injection system includes an injector, and the injector is provided facing the clothing treatment chamber and communicates with the clothing treatment chamber, and injects the dry cleaning agent onto the clothing waiting to be treated in the clothing treatment chamber.

[0032] The dry cleaning agent is a solvent that can effectively remove dirt under anhydrous or minimal water conditions. Since the dry cleaning agent can effectively remove dirt under anhydrous or minimal water conditions, it is not necessary to place water in the clothing treatment chamber and soak the clothing waiting to be treated. That is, when the clothing treatment device does not need to introduce a large amount of external water source (for example, tap water), the cleanliness of the clothing can be realized.

[0033] In the present application, the specific components of the dry cleaning agent are not limited. For example, the components of the dry cleaning agent include, but are not limited to, tetrachloroethylene, hydrocarbon solvents and / or hydrocarbon solvents, etc.

[0034] In this application, in order to effectively remove stains on clothes, an injection system is adopted to inject a dry cleaning agent onto the clothes. That is, the dry cleaning agent is adsorbed on the surface of the clothes by spraying, rather than being adsorbed on the surface of the clothes by immersing the clothes in a dry cleaning agent solution. By spraying instead of immersing in this way, not only can the contact area between the dry cleaning agent and the clothes be improved, but also the usage amount of the dry cleaning agent can be reduced. For the dry cleaning device, while the usage amount of the dry cleaning agent in this application is greatly reduced, and at the same time, it is not necessary to distill and recover the dry cleaning agent, the structure of the clothes treatment device is greatly simplified, and it can be realized for household use. For the cleaning of some clothes made of special materials and high-quality clothes, users can achieve cleaning and care at home.

[0035] In this application, the injector may adopt one or a combination of two or more methods such as a water injection port, a nozzle, an injection pipe, etc. The specific structure of the injector is not limited, as long as the dry cleaning agent can be injected into the clothes treatment chamber, it is within the protection scope of this application.

[0036] In some application scenarios, an injection passage is provided in the injector of the dry cleaning agent injection system, and the injection port of the injection passage is provided facing the inside of the clothes treatment chamber.

[0037] The clothes treatment device further includes a door, the door includes a door gasket and a door cover, the door gasket is provided at the open end of the clothes treatment barrel, the door cover seals and covers the door gasket, and the injection port is provided on the door gasket. In some embodiments, the front end of the clothes treatment chamber is opened to form a clothes inlet and outlet, and a door 11 is provided at the front end of the clothes treatment barrel 12. After the user puts the clothes waiting to be treated into the clothes treatment chamber through the clothes inlet and outlet, the door 11 closes the clothes treatment chamber, and the clothes treatment device enters the working state to treat the clothes.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 1, the door 11 includes a door gasket 111 and a door cover 112. The door gasket 111 is provided at the front end of the laundry treatment tub 12. By sealing and covering the front end of the door gasket 111 with the door cover 112, the laundry treatment chamber is closed, and the injection port of the injection passage can be provided on the door gasket 111. Since the position of the door gasket is relatively close to the laundry treatment chamber, it can be ensured that most of the dry cleaning agent injected from the injection port can enter the laundry treatment chamber, while visualization can be realized, which is convenient for the user to know whether to add the dry cleaning agent and whether the addition is completed.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to ensure that as much of the dry cleaning agent injected from the injection port enters the interior of the laundry treatment chamber as possible, the injection port is provided obliquely toward the interior of the laundry treatment chamber.

[0040] In some embodiments, the injection port includes a plurality of injection holes arranged at intervals. The plurality of injection holes arranged at intervals can increase the injection range and improve the injection efficiency. On the other hand, when the cross-sectional area of the flow path becomes small, the fluid can be subdivided and the flow velocity can be increased. Therefore, when the dry cleaning agent is ejected from the plurality of injection holes, the flow velocity is high and it is more likely to be adsorbed by the surface of the laundry waiting to be washed.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1, the laundry treatment device further includes a circulation air duct, a dispenser 40, and an atomization system 50.

[0042] The tub component 10 includes a laundry treatment tub 12 and a door 11 located at the front end of the laundry treatment tub 12.

[0043] The front end of the laundry treatment chamber is opened to form a laundry access opening. After the user puts the laundry to be processed into the laundry treatment chamber through the laundry access opening, the door 11 closes the laundry treatment chamber, and the laundry treatment device enters the working state to process the laundry.

[0044] The clothing treatment device is provided with a circulation air duct, the circulation air duct communicates with the clothing treatment chamber, and the air flow circulates and flows through the circulation air duct and the clothing treatment chamber.

[0045] The circulation air duct includes a dehumidifying air duct 20 and a drying air duct 30.

[0046] In addition, a condenser is provided in the dehumidifying air duct 20. The humid and hot air flowing from the clothing treatment tub 12 to the dehumidifying air duct 20 exchanges heat with the condenser, and the water vapor in the humid and hot air can condense into a liquid after the temperature is lowered, so that a low-temperature dry gas flows out of the dehumidifying air duct 20 and enters the drying air duct 30.

[0047] In addition, a heating device and a blower are arranged in the drying air duct 30. The heating device is used to heat the air flow. The blower drives the gas in the drying air duct 30 to flow during the operation process to form an air flow.

[0048] The drying air duct 30 is located downstream in the direction of the air flow in the dehumidifying air duct 20. During the clothing drying process, the humid and hot air flow in the clothing treatment tub 12 enters the dehumidifying air duct 20, and the dehumidifying air duct 20 cools the air flow, so that the extra moisture in the air flow condenses into a low-temperature dry air flow. Then the low-temperature dry air flow enters the drying air duct 30, and the air flow is heated by the drying air duct 30 to become a drying hot air flow. The drying hot air flow enters the clothing treatment tub 12 again, thereby realizing the circulation utilization of the air flow in the clothing treatment device and reducing the power consumption.

[0049] A detergent chamber used for storing detergent is formed in the dispenser 40.

[0050] The specific type of the detergent is not limited, for example, it can be a dry cleaning agent or a detergent with other functions.

[0051] A dry cleaning agent is an organic solvent that can effectively remove stains under anhydrous or slightly wet conditions. The specific components of the cleaning agent are not limited. For example, the components of the cleaning agent include, but are not limited to, tetrachloroethylene, hydrocarbon solvents, and / or hydrocarbon solvents, etc.

[0052] Note that the related principles and necessary related devices of air wash have mature applications in related technologies and are omitted here.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 1, the atomization system 50 includes a pumping device 52, an atomization device 53, a feed passage 51, and a mist delivery passage 54. An atomization chamber 53d is formed in the atomization device 53. The feed passage 51 communicates with the cleaning agent chamber and the atomization chamber 53d. The pumping device 52 is provided in the feed passage 51 and is used to pump the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent chamber to the atomization chamber 53d. The mist delivery passage 54 is used to guide the mist in the atomization chamber 53d to the door 11.

[0054] The pumping device 52 pumps the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent chamber to the atomization chamber 53d through the feed passage 51, and the cleaning agent is converted from a liquid to a mist in the atomization chamber 53d.

[0055] By communicating the mist delivery passage 54 with the door 11, the atomized cleaning agent directly enters the clothing treatment tub 12 through the door 11. The cleaning agent contacts the clothing waiting to be treated in the clothing treatment tub 12 to treat the clothing. In some embodiments, the mist delivery passage 54 may be the injection passage of the dry cleaning agent injection system, and the mist outlet of the mist delivery passage is formed as the injection port of the injection passage.

[0056] The clothing treatment device according to the embodiment of the present application uses an atomizing device to atomize a liquid dry cleaning agent into suspended liquid particles flowing along with the air flow, and sends the atomized dry cleaning agent to the clothing treatment barrel 12 to contact the clothing waiting to be treated, so as to achieve the effect of removing dirt from the clothing of the clothing treatment device. Compared with the conventional water washing method, it reduces the consumption of water resources. In addition, the atomized dry cleaning agent contacts the clothing in the form of liquid fine particles, with less dosage of the dry cleaning agent, more uniform distribution, more sufficient contact between the dry cleaning agent and the clothing, and improved cleaning effect on the clothing.

[0057] In some embodiments, the clothing treatment device further has a drying function. Specifically, the clothing treatment device includes a circulation air duct, the circulation air duct communicates with the clothing treatment chamber, and the air flow circulates in the circulation air duct and the clothing treatment chamber. The circulation air duct includes a dehumidifying air duct 20 and a drying air duct 30. A condenser is provided in the dehumidifying air duct 20. Heat exchange occurs between the humid and hot air flowing from the clothing treatment barrel 12 into the dehumidifying air duct 20 and the condenser, and the water vapor in the humid and hot air can be condensed into a liquid after the temperature is lowered, so that dry gas flows out of the dehumidifying air duct 20 and enters the drying air duct 30. A heating device and a blower are arranged in the drying air duct 30. The heating device is used to heat the air flow. The blower drives the gas in the drying air duct 30 to flow during operation to form an air flow. The drying air duct 30 is located downstream of the dehumidifying air duct 20 in the direction along which the air flow flows. During the clothing drying process, the humid and hot air flow in the clothing treatment barrel 12 enters the dehumidifying air duct 20, and the dehumidifying air duct 20 cools the air flow, so that the extra moisture in the air flow precipitates to form a low-temperature drying air flow. Then the low-temperature drying air flow enters the drying air duct 30, and the drying air duct 30 heats the air flow to form a drying hot air flow. The drying hot air flow enters the clothing treatment barrel 12 again, so as to realize the recycling of the air flow in the clothing treatment device and reduce the power consumption.

[0058] In some embodiments, after washing the clothes, the dry-cleaning agent remaining on the clothes in the form of drying can be removed. In the process of performing the cleaning and drying treatment, by rolling the clothes treatment tub 12, the clothes can be rolled into the clothes treatment tub 12. In the process of the drying treatment, by making the drying air flow fully contact with the clothes, the drying time can be reduced. In the process of the cleaning treatment, the droplets of the dry-cleaning agent and the clothes can be made to fully contact with each other, and the cleaning efficiency can be improved.

[0059] Exemplarily, by locating the heating device downstream of the blower, the influence on the normal operation of the high-temperature blower of the hot air flow can be reduced, and the service life of the blower can be improved.

[0060] The specific type of the blower is not limited. For example, it can be an impeller, an axial flow fan, etc. Exemplarily, the blower is a centrifugal wind turbine with a short axial dimension and a compact structure. By reducing the dimension of the blower, it is beneficial to reduce the external dimension of the clothes treatment device.

[0061] The specific type and mounting method of the heating device are not limited. For example, the heating device is a heating wire provided on the inner wall corresponding to the drying air duct 30, and the gas in the drying air duct 30 is indirectly heated by the temperature rise of the heating wire.

[0062] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 1, the dispenser 40 and the atomizing device 53 are located on the opposite left and right sides of the box body 60. It is convenient to make full use of the spaces on the left and right sides of the box body 30, and the space utilization rate can be increased.

[0063] In some embodiments, the atomization system 50 includes a first transfer pipe, the pumping device 52 is attached to the rear of the dispenser 40, and the first transfer pipe connects the liquid outlet of the pumping device 52 and the liquid inlet of the atomization device 53. That is, the inner pipe of the first transfer pipe is formed as part of the feed passage 51. The first transfer pipe is arranged along the inner wall of the box body 60. It is possible to reduce the occupation of the first transfer pipe in the internal space of the box body 60, facilitate the arrangement of other components, and at the same time, in the process of assembly, inspection and repair, by moving other components in the box body 60, the probability of colliding or pulling the first transfer pipe can also be reduced.

[0064] In some embodiments, since the atomization device 53 has only one liquid inlet, the fluid medium in the atomization device 53 is only the detergent. That is, since the detergent entering the atomization chamber 53d does not need to be diluted, there is no need for a dedicated water inlet to introduce water flow into the atomization chamber 53d, and scale deposition in the atomization chamber 53d caused by the influence of water quality is reduced, thereby reducing the adverse effect of reducing the effect of atomizing the detergent of the atomization device 53.

[0065] The specific structure of the atomization device 53 is not limited. For example, the atomization device 53 may be an ultrasonic atomization device or a heating atomization device, etc. Exemplarily, the atomization device 53 is an ultrasonic atomizer, and by the high-frequency vibration of the atomization piece, the liquid is broken up to generate liquid fine particles in an atomized state.

[0066] In an embodiment where the atomization device 53 is an ultrasonic atomization device, the vibration frequency of the atomization device 53 is 0.5 MHz (Mega Hertz) to 1.5 MHz. Thereby, a better atomization effect can be achieved for the detergent. Moreover, the sound wave generated under this vibration frequency far exceeds the auditory range of humans and animals and cannot harm the hearing of humans and animals.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 6 to 10, the atomizing device 53 includes a case body 531 and an atomizer 532. An atomizing chamber 53d is provided in the case body 531. A feed port 53a and a mist outlet 53b are provided in the case body 531. The feed port 53a communicates with the atomizing chamber 53d and the feed passage 51, and the mist outlet 53b communicates with the mist delivery passage 54 and the atomizing chamber 53d. The detergent enters the atomizing chamber 53d from the feed passage 51 through the feed port 53a. The detergent in the atomizing chamber 53d is formed into a mist state by the treatment of the atomizer 532 and enters the mist delivery passage 54 through the mist outlet 53b. The atomizer 532 is provided at the bottom of the atomizing chamber 53d. It is convenient for the detergent accumulated in the atomizing chamber 53d to contact the atomizer 532. When the remaining amount of the detergent in the atomizing chamber 53d is small, it can reduce the probability that the detergent cannot be converted into a mist state by the action of the atomizer 532, improve the conversion effect of the detergent, and reduce the residue of the detergent in the atomizing chamber 53d.

[0068] In some embodiments, a cover that can be selectively opened and closed is provided at the feed port 53a. When the liquid level of the liquid detergent is higher than the preset liquid level height in the atomizing chamber 53d, the cover closes the feed port 53a to prevent too much liquid detergent from overflowing from the mist outlet 53b into the atomizing chamber 53d.

[0069] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 10, an air supply passage 53f is provided in the case body 531. A blower mechanism 534 is provided on one side of the case body 531 and blows air into the atomizing chamber 53d through the air supply passage 53f. The airflow generated by the blower mechanism 534 flows out from the mist outlet 53b together with the atomized detergent in the atomizing chamber 53d, which promotes the atomized detergent to enter the barrel component 10 faster and contact the clothes waiting for treatment, reduces the accumulation of the atomized detergent in the atomizing chamber 53d and affects the generation of subsequent atomized detergent, and improves the dry cleaning effect.

[0070] The specifically provided positions of the mist outlet 53b and the feed port 53a are not limited.

[0071] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 10, the communication position between the air supply passage 53f and the atomization chamber 53d is located on the side wall of the atomization chamber 53d. By avoiding the air flow flowing directly into the atomization chamber 53d from the communication position between the air supply passage 53f and the atomization chamber 53d, the liquid detergent is turned over by the blowing of the air flow, and thus the probability of overflowing outside is reduced.

[0072] Note that the communication position between the air supply passage 53f and the atomization chamber 53d is located at the upper part of the side wall of the atomization chamber 53d, thereby reducing the probability that the liquid detergent flows into the blower mechanism 534 through the air supply passage 53f.

[0073] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 10, the mist outlet 53b is located on the top wall of the atomization chamber 53d. In the process of the atomized detergent naturally rising upward, it can directly enter the mist supply passage 54 through the mist outlet 53b. Also, the scattered liquid detergent generated in the atomization process can fall back into the atomization chamber 53d under the action of gravity even if it enters the mist outlet 53b, reducing the probability that the liquid detergent enters the mist supply passage 54. In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6, both the mist outlet 53b and the feed port 53a are located on the top side of the case body 531. Thereby, more liquid detergent can be accommodated in the atomization chamber 53d, and at the same time, the possibility that the liquid detergent overflows from the mist outlet 53b and the feed port 53a is reduced.

[0074] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the bottom wall of the atomization chamber 53d is recessed downward. Thereby, when there is less liquid detergent in the atomization chamber 53d, the liquid detergent can concentrate in the recessed portion in the atomization chamber 53d. The atomizer 532 is provided at the lowest position of the recessed portion. Thereby, the atomizer 532 can always maintain contact with the liquid detergent, improving the utilization rate of the liquid detergent.

[0075] In some embodiments, the atomizer 532 is a ceramic atomization sheet. The liquid detergent is atomized through the vibration of the ceramic atomization sheet.

[0076] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, the atomizing device 53 includes a mounting base 538. The atomizer 532 is provided on the top side of the mounting base 538. The case body 531 is provided with a mounting port. The mounting base 538 passes through the mounting port from bottom to top, so that the atomizer 532 is located in the atomizing chamber 53d. The mounting base 538 closes the mounting port to prevent the liquid detergent from leaking out.

[0077]

[0076] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, the case body 531 includes an upper housing 5311 and a lower housing 5312. The top side of the lower housing 5312 is open, and the upper housing 5311 covers the open portion of the lower housing 5312 to form the atomizing chamber 53d. By fabricating the upper housing 5311 and the lower housing 5312 respectively and then attaching them, the manufacturing difficulty of forming the atomizing chamber 53d in the manufacturing process of the case body 531 is reduced.

[0078] The feed port 53a and the fog delivery port 53b are both located on the upper housing 5311.

[0079]

[0079] The method of achieving sealing between the upper housing 5311 and the lower housing 5312 to prevent the liquid detergent from leaking out is not limited.

[0080] In some embodiments, by welding along the seam position of the upper housing 5311 and the lower housing 5312, a sealed connection is formed between the upper housing 5311 and the lower housing 5312.

[0081] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, the atomizing device 53 includes a gasket 535, and the gasket 535 is sandwiched at the connection location between the upper housing 5311 and the lower housing 5312. Thereby, the upper housing 5311 and the lower housing 5312 can be detached from each other to facilitate subsequent repair and maintenance of the atomizing device 53.

[0082] Note that the atomizing device 53 includes a control board 536 provided in the case body 531, and both the atomizer 532 and the blower mechanism 534 are electrically connected to the control board 536. The control board 536 controls the operating timing of the atomizer 532 and the blower mechanism 534.

[0083] Note that the specific structural form of the control board 536 and the control method it adopts have already been widely applied in the related art and are omitted here.

[0084] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 5, the atomizing device 53 is detachably provided in the box body 60, and the specific connection method between the two is not limited.

[0085] For example, referring to FIGS. 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8, the inside of the top end of the box body 60 has a reinforcing rib plate 61. The atomizing device 53 includes a mounting plate 533 provided at the top end of the case body 531. The top end of the mounting plate 533 has a bent portion 5331, and the bent portion 5331 abuts against the top side of the reinforcing rib plate 61. Thereby, the position of the atomizing device 53 along the top-bottom direction and the left-right direction is restricted. Screws pass through the bent portion 5331 and the reinforcing rib plate 61 to realize the detachable connection between the atomizing device 53 and the box body 60.

[0086] Note that the specific forming method of the reinforcing rib plate 61 is not limited. For example, the box body 60 is manufactured by adopting a sheet metal part, and the reinforcing rib plate 61 is manufactured by adopting a method of being bent inside. Also, for example, the reinforcing rib plate 61 includes a first plate extending along the left-right direction and a second plate extending along the top-bottom direction. The reinforcing rib plate 61 is fixed to the top edge of the right side plate of the box body 60 and abuts against the mounting plate 533 through the first plate and the second plate respectively. Here, the first plate abuts against the bent portion 5331 along the up-down direction, and the second plate abuts against the mounting plate 533 along the left-right direction.

[0087] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6, the size of the mist outlet 53b is larger than that of the feed port 53a. After the liquid detergent is atomized, its volume increases. Therefore, within a unit time, the mist outlet 53b discharges a larger volume of atomized detergent, thereby increasing the air pressure in the atomization chamber 53d and reducing the possibility of damage to the atomization device 53.

[0088] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 10, the atomization device 53 includes a diaphragm 537. The diaphragm 537 is provided in the air flow route of the air supply passage 53f and covers the cross-section of the air supply passage 53f. The diaphragm 537 can allow air to pass through, but it can also be waterproof. For example, the diaphragm is a waterproof polyester cloth. Air can flow unidirectionally from one side of the blower mechanism 534 to one side of the atomization chamber 53d, and the mist droplets or the vibrated liquid detergent basically cannot flow from one side of the atomization chamber 53d to one side of the blower mechanism 534. While reducing the loss of the detergent, it plays a role in protecting the blower mechanism 534 and preventing the parts of the blower mechanism 534 from being corroded due to the detergent entering the inside of the blower mechanism 534. Since the diaphragm 537 does not require an additional power device to control the unidirectional flow of the air flow, the number of required parts is reduced, the cost is lowered, and the reliability is improved.

[0089] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 10, the diaphragm 537 is vertically provided in the air flow route of the air supply passage 53f. After the atomized liquid detergent contacts the diaphragm 537, it flows downward along the diaphragm 537, thereby reducing the probability that the atomized liquid detergent adheres to the surface of the diaphragm 537 all the time and affecting the ventilation performance of the diaphragm 537.

[0090] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, a centrifugal wind turbine is provided in the blower mechanism 534, and the blower mechanism 534 is provided on the side surface of the case body 531. For example, the blower mechanism 534 is provided on the rear side of the case body 531. The blower mechanism 534 located on the side surface can make the overall structure of the atomizing device 53 compact and not occupy the internal space of the atomizing chamber 53d.

[0091] In addition, a scroll casing is provided in the blower mechanism 534, and a centrifugal wind turbine is provided in the scroll casing. The air flow generated during the operation of the centrifugal wind turbine 534 is guided through the scroll casing and flowed into the atomizing chamber 53d, thereby reducing the loss of the air flow and improving the utilization efficiency of the air flow. By providing an air supply port in the scroll casing, the centrifugal wind turbine always sucks in through the air supply port into the scroll casing during the working process.

[0092] In some embodiments, according to FIGS. 9 and 10, the air outlet 53c of the blower mechanism 534 is located on the top side of the blower mechanism 534, and the air outlet 53c communicates with the inlet of the air supply passage 53f along the vertical direction. Thereby, the air flow generated by the blower mechanism 534 needs to change direction to enter the atomizing chamber 53d, reducing the probability of the liquid detergent being mixed back and reducing the risk of the mixed-back liquid detergent overflowing because the air flow is directly blown onto the atomizing chamber 53d.

[0093] The specific mounting position of the control board 536 is not limited. For example, referring to FIGS. 5 and 8, a mounting groove 53e is provided on the outer surface of the case body 531, and the control board 536 is provided upright in the mounting groove 53e. The case body 531 provides a mounting and fixing position for the control board 536. At the same time, the control board 536 is provided outside the case body 531 to reduce the workload for assembly, trial operation, and inspection, repair, and replacement during the subsequent use process by the user.

[0094] Each embodiment / implementation manner provided in this application can be combined with each other if there is no contradiction.

[0095] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and changes may be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
