Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of atomization, and in particular to an atomization device and a laundry treatment device. [Background technology]

[0002] Atomization devices are devices that can provide atomized gas (large-area fine particle droplets), and are widely used in clothing treatment devices, humidifiers, and the like.

[0003] In the prior art, atomizing devices often adopt a structure combining a water supply passage and an atomizing sheet, and do not have an independent water storage chamber, occupying a large space when attached to other devices. For example, in a clothing treatment device, the atomizing device needs to be welded to the water supply system, and the water supply from the water supply system is used to supply water to the atomizer, and the atomizer then uses the water to turn the water into small atomized droplets and feed them into the clothing treatment drum to achieve atomized washing of clothes. However, the atomizer and the water supply system are welded together, and the presence of piping makes it difficult to arrange the components. Furthermore, the clothing treatment agent needs to be supplied by a separate supply tank, which occupies a large space. In some clothes dryers, adding too many components to achieve atomized washing makes it difficult to arrange the space. Therefore, the conventional structure for achieving atomized washing affects its range of application. Furthermore, the water supply passage of the atomizing device cannot be cleaned, which makes it easy for scale to clog, seriously affecting the service life of the atomizing device.

[0004] In view of this, there is a need in the art for a new atomizing device and a new clothing treatment device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] Example 1 Based on the problems pointed out in the background art that the use scenarios of conventional atomization devices are limited and the interior cannot be cleaned, the present invention aims to provide an atomization device and a clothing treatment device, which enrich the use scenarios of the atomization device, avoid the occurrence of scale clogging in the atomization device, and extend the service life of the atomization device.

[0046] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the atomization device of the present invention includes a tank body 1, a tank lid 2, and an atomization sheet 3, an outlet 1a is formed in the tank body 1, the atomization sheet 3 is installed at the outlet 1a, and a contact part and an attachment part are installed between the tank lid 2 and the tank body 1, and when attaching the tank lid 2 and the tank body 1, the tank lid 2 is first contacted to the tank body 1 via the contact part, and the tank lid 2 and the tank body 1 are then attached and fixed via the attachment part. The abutment part may have a structure in which an abutment rib or an abutment rib fits into an abutment groove; for example, an abutment rib may be formed on the tank lid 2; Figures 3 and 6 show an L-shaped abutment rib 2a; when installed, as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 6, the L-shaped abutment rib 2a comes into contact with the edge of the tank opening 1d formed on the tank body 1 and fitted with the tank lid 2, and the tank lid 2 and tank body 1 are engaged with each other via the fastening part, thereby realizing the capping and closing of the tank opening 1d by the tank lid 2. The fastening part may be a form in which a locking claw fits into a locking opening, or a form in which an engaging protrusion fits into an engaging groove; those skilled in the art can flexibly configure it.

[0047] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, a seal element 4 is installed between the tank body 1 and the tank lid 2. The seal element 4 has a through-hole 4a formed therein. The fastening element includes a first fastening member 51 attached to the tank lid 2 and a second fastening member 52 attached to the tank body 1. The first fastening member 51 passes through the through-hole 4a and is fastened to the second fastening member 52. The seal element 4 may be a seal ring, a seal packing, or another seal structure. By fitting the through-hole 4a into the first fastening member 51, the first fastening member 51 is fastened to the second fastening member 52, thereby attaching the tank lid 2 to the tank body 1 and positioning the seal element 4, preventing the seal element 4 from flapping when the tank lid 2 is closing the tank opening 1d. Of course, the sealing element 4 may also have a positioning protrusion 4b, and the tank lid 2 may have a positioning groove 2b, with the positioning protrusion 4b and the positioning groove 2b mating with each other. For example, if the sealing element 4 is a rectangular annular seal packing, there may be two first fastening members 51 located on one pair of sides of the rectangular annular seal packing, and two positioning protrusions 4b located on the other pair of sides of the rectangular annular seal packing. Correspondingly, the number of positioning grooves 2b is also two. When the tank lid 2 covers the tank mouth 1d, the first fastening members 51 can be mated with the through-hole 4a to position one pair of sides of the rectangular annular seal packing, and the positioning protrusions 4b can be mated with the positioning groove 2b to position the other pair of sides of the rectangular annular seal packing, ensuring that all four sides of the rectangular annular seal packing can be positioned and preventing the rectangular annular seal packing from flapping or deforming. Alternatively, the number of positioning protrusions 4b and the number of positioning grooves 2b may both be one. In one preferred embodiment, the first fastening member 51 is a fastening plate having a fastening opening, and the second fastening member 52 is an engaging protrusion. When attached, the fastening plate passes through the through-hole 4a, exposing the fastening opening and engaging the engaging protrusion. Of course, the first fastening member 51 and the second fastening member 52 may adopt other fastening methods. Of course, in the above configuration, the fastening parts may directly fasten the tank body 1 and the tank lid 2 without being further fitted to the sealing part 4.

Specifically, the screwing of the supply lid 6 and the supply port 2c allows the supply lid 6 to screw forward and backward relative to the supply port 2c. That is, by rotating the supply lid 6 in one direction, the supply lid 6 can screw forward and backward to close the supply port 2c, and by rotating it in the other direction, the supply lid 6 can screw backward and open the supply port 2c. Of course, the supply lid 6 and the supply port 2c may also adopt a flip-cover structure in which they are pivotally connected.

[0049] Preferably, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, a handle ring 7 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the supply lid 6, which can rotate and be stored in the supply opening 2c in an unraised state, and may be pivotally connected to the outer surface of the supply lid 6. After the supply lid 6 closes the supply opening 2c, the outer surface of the supply lid 6 has a certain distance from the edge of the outer opening of the supply opening 2c, which distance ensures that the handle ring 7 can be stored in the unraised state. In this state, the plane on which the handle ring 7 is located and the plane on which the outer surface of the supply lid 6 is located are parallel. When the handle ring 7 is in the raised state, for example, the handle ring 7 exposes the supply opening 2c, making it convenient for the user to grip. The plane on which the handle ring 7 is located and the plane on which the outer surface of the supply lid 6 is located are perpendicular or form a certain angle, so that the handle ring 7 can be twisted to unscrew the supply lid 6 from the supply opening 2c.

In the structure shown in FIG. 3, the lower part of the electrical chamber 1c is closed by a decorative case 9, and the electrical chamber 1c can house a harness 8 connected to the atomizing sheet 3, thereby supplying power to and controlling the atomizing sheet 3. More preferably, the shape of the partition structure is U-shaped, the outlet 1a is formed at the bottom of the U-shaped partition structure, and a storage groove is formed on the outside of the bottom of the partition structure 1e, and a portion of the harness 8 may be stored in the storage groove to position the harness 8.

[0051] Preferably, as shown in Fig. 3, the atomization device further includes a wireless charging assembly for supplying power to the atomizing sheet 3, the wireless charging assembly being connected to the tank body 1, and a portion of the wireless charging assembly being located within the electrical chamber 1c. The wireless charging assembly may employ a wireless charging method based on electromagnetic induction, a wireless charging method based on magnetic resonance, or other wireless charging methods. In one preferred embodiment, the wireless charging assembly includes a fixed component, an induction coil 10, an inductance element 20, a first circuit board 30, and a second circuit board 40. The fixed component is installed on another device and connected to the tank body 1. The induction coil 10 and the inductance element 20 are both installed on the fixed component, and the induction coil 10 is fitted around the inductance element 20. The first circuit board 30 is connected to the induction coil 10, and the second circuit board 40 is connected to the inductance element 20. The fixed part may be a fixed support frame, a fixed plate, or other fixed structure. The induction coil 10 is connected to the atomizing sheet 3 via a harness 8, or the first circuit board 30 is connected to the atomizing sheet 3 via the harness 8, and the second circuit board 40 is connected to a power source via a harness. The inductance element 20 generates a constant current in the induction coil 10 through electromagnetic induction based on constant-frequency AC electricity, thereby transferring electrical energy from the inductance element 20 to the induction coil 10, thereby powering the atomizing sheet 3. This wireless charging method eliminates the need for a harness between the inductance element 20 and the induction coil 10. Of course, a wired connection may alternatively be used to power the atomizing sheet 3.

[0052] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3 , the fixed part includes a fixed inner plate 50 and a fixed outer plate 60, the fixed inner plate 50 is connected to the tank body 1, the fixed outer plate 60 is fixed to another device, a first hollow columnar structure 60a is formed in the fixed outer plate 60, a second hollow columnar structure 50a is formed in the fixed inner plate 50, the second hollow columnar structure 50a is fitted around the first hollow columnar structure 60a, the induction coil 10 is fitted around the second hollow columnar structure 50a, the inductance element 20 is installed in the first hollow columnar structure 60a, the first circuit board 30 is installed in the fixed inner plate 50, and the second circuit board 40 is installed in the fixed outer plate 60.

The diameter of the outer tube wall of the first hollow columnar structure 60a is preferably equal to the diameter of the inner tube wall of the second hollow columnar structure 50a, so that the first hollow columnar structure 60a and the second hollow columnar structure 50a can be positioned relative to each other. The first hollow columnar structure 60a and the second hollow columnar structure 50a are made of insulating materials such as glass, plastic, or ceramic, and do not use metal, so as to avoid the generation of electromagnetic shielding. It should be noted that the ends of the first hollow columnar structure 60a and the second hollow columnar structure 50a are both preferably closed. With this arrangement, the fixed outer plate 60 can function as a mounting base for the fixed inner plate 50 and can be fixed to other devices. When solvent needs to be added or replaced in the tank body 1, the fixed inner plate 50 can be removed from the fixed outer plate 60, and then attached to the fixed outer plate 60 during installation. The first hollow columnar structure 60a and the second hollow columnar structure 50a can serve as positioning elements during installation. The first hollow columnar structure 60a can house the inductance element 20, and the second hollow columnar structure 50a can house the induction coil 10 outside. This allows the first hollow columnar structure 60a and the second hollow columnar structure 50a to each have multiple functions, further increasing the compactness of the atomization device.In addition, a magnetic attraction structure may be further installed between the fixed inner plate 50 and the fixed outer plate 60. For example, a first permanent magnet may be installed on the fixed outer plate 60, and a second permanent magnet may be installed on the fixed inner plate 50, with the magnetic properties of the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet being different, thereby realizing magnetic attraction and fixation of the fixed outer plate 60 to the fixed inner plate.
