Description

FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of atomization, and specifically provides an atomization device and a clothing treatment apparatus.BACKGROUND

[0002] An atomization device is a device capable of providing an atomized gas (a large area of small-particle droplets), and it is widely used in clothing treatment apparatuses or humidification apparatuses, etc.

[0003] In the prior art, the atomization devices mostly adopt a structure in which a water passage and an atomization sheet are combined, without an independent water containing chamber. When installed on other apparatuses, the atomization device takes up a lot of space. Taking a clothing treatment apparatus as an example, the atomization device needs to be fused with a water inflow system to use water inflow of the water inflow system to achieve water supply to an atomizer; then, under the action of the atomizer, the water is transformed into atomized droplets of small particles, which enter a clothing treatment cylinder to achieve atomization washing of clothing. However, due to the existence of pipelines, fusing the atomizer and the water inflow system together is not advantageous for the arrangement of elements and components, and clothing treatment agents also need to be dispensed through separate dispensers, which take up a lot of space. Moreover, in some clothing dryers, adding too many elements and components to achieve atomization washing is also not advantageous for spatial layout. The traditional structure for achieving atomization washing has affected its application range. Moreover, the water passage of the atomization device cannot be cleaned, and is prone to scaling and blockage, seriously affecting a service life of the atomization device.

[0004] In view of this, there is a need for a new atomization device and clothing treatment apparatus in the art to solve the above problems.SUMMARY

[0018] In a case where the above technical solutions are adopted, the present disclosure enables the atomization device itself to use the box body to accommodate the solvent to be atomized and sprayed.

[0061] In view of the problem pointed out in the “BACKGROUND” that existing atomization devices have limited application scenes and the interior thereof cannot be cleaned, the present disclosure provides an atomization device and a clothing treatment apparatus, aiming to enrich the application scenes of atomization devices, avoiding scaling and blockage in the atomization devices, and prolonging the service life of the atomization devices.

[0062] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the atomization device of the present disclosure includes a box body 1, a box cover 2 and an atomization sheet 3; an outlet 1a is formed on the box body 1, and the atomization sheet 3 is arranged at the outlet 1a; an abutment member and a snap-fit member are arranged between the box cover 2 and the box body 1; and when the box cover 2 and the box body 1 are installed, the box cover 2 is first abutted onto the box body 1 through the abutment member, and then the box cover 2 and the box body 1 are snap-fitted and fixed through the snap-fit member. The abutment member can be an abutment rib, or a structure in which an abutment rib matches with an abutment groove. For example, an abutment rib can be formed on the box cover 2. An L-shaped abutment rib 2a is shown in FIGS. 3 and 6. During installation, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 6, the L-shaped abutment rib 2a can be abutted against an edge of a box opening 1d formed on the box body 1 and matched with the box cover 2. Then, the box cover 2 can be snap-fitted with the box body 1 through the snap-fit member so that the box cover 2 can cover and close the box opening 1d. The snap-fit member can be in the form of a claw matching with a snap-fit opening, or in the form of a snap-fit protrusion matching with a snap-fit groove, which can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art.

[0063] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, a sealing member 4 is arranged between the box body 1 and the box cover 2, and a through opening 4a is formed on the sealing member 4; the snap-fit member includes a first snap-fit element 51 arranged on the box cover 2 and a second snap-fit element 52 arranged on the box body 1, and the first snap-fit element 51 passes through the through opening 4a and is snap-fitted and fixed with the second snap-fit element 52. The sealing member 4 can be a sealing ring, or a sealing gasket, or other sealing structures. Through the cooperation of the through opening 4a and the first snap-fit element 51, the first snap-fit element 51 can not only be snap-fitted with the second snap-fit element 52 to achieve the installation of the box cover 2 and the box body 1, but also can position the sealing member 4 to prevent the sealing member 4 from moving when the box cover 2 covers and closes the box opening 1d. Of course, a positioning protrusion 4b can also be formed on the sealing member 4, and a positioning groove 2b can be formed on the box cover 2. The positioning protrusion 4b is mated with the positioning groove 2b. Taking the sealing member 4 being a square ring-shaped sealing gasket as an example, there can be two first snap-fit elements 51, which are located on a pair of sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket; there are two positioning protrusions 4b, which are located on the other pair of sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket; and correspondingly, the number of the positioning grooves 2b is also two. When the box cover 2 covers and closes the box opening 1d, the mating between the first snap-fit elements 51 and the through opening 4a can achieve the positioning of one pair of sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket, and the mating between the positioning protrusions 4b and the positioning grooves 2b can achieve the positioning of the other pair of sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket, ensuring that all four sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket can be positioned and that the square ring-shaped sealing gasket will not move or deform. Alternatively, in the above, the number of the positioning protrusion 4b and the number of the positioning groove 2b can both be one. In a preferred case, the first snap-fit element 51 is a snap-fit plate with a snap-fit opening, and the second snap-fit element 52 is a snap-fit protrusion. During installation, the snap-fit plate passes through the through opening 4a and exposes the snap-fit opening so that the snap-fit opening is snap-fitted with the snap-fit protrusion. Of course, the first snap-fit element 51 and the second snap-fit element 52 can also use other snap-fit methods. Of course, in the above, the snap-fit member can also directly snap-fit the box body 1 with the box cover 2 without mating with the sealing member 4.

[0064] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the atomization device further includes a feeding cover 6, and a feeding port 2c is formed on the box cover 2; a first spiral groove is formed on the feeding cover 6, a second spiral groove is formed on the feeding port 2c, and the feeding cover 6 is screw-connected with the feeding port 2c through the first spiral groove and the second spiral groove. Specifically, the screw connection between the feeding cover 6 and the feeding port 2c enables the feeding cover 6 to screw in and out relative to the feeding port 2c. That is, rotating the feeding cover 6 in one direction enables the feeding cover 6 to screw in and close the feeding port 2c, and rotating the feeding cover 6 in the other direction enables the feeding cover 6 to screw out and open the feeding port 2c. Of course, the feeding cover 6 and the feeding port 2c can also adopt a flip over structure with a pivotal connection.

[0065] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, an outer surface of the feeding cover 6 is rotatably connected with a handle ring 7, which can rotate in a non-pulling state and be accommodated in the feeding port 2c. The handle ring 7 can be connected to the outer surface of the feeding cover 6 through pivotal connection. After the feeding port 2c is closed by the feeding cover 6, the outer surface of the feeding cover 6 has a certain distance from an outer edge of the feeding port 2c. This distance ensures that the handle ring 7 in the non-pulling state can be accommodated. In this state, the plane where the handle ring 7 is located is parallel to the plane where the outer surface of the feeding cover 6 is located. When the handle ring 7 is in a pulling state (for example, the handle ring 7 exposes the feeding port 2c, making it easier for the user to grip), the plane where the handle ring 7 is located is perpendicular to or at a certain angle to the plane where the outer surface of the feeding cover 6 is located, so that twisting the handle ring 7 enables the feeding cover 6 to screw out of the feeding port 2c.

[0066] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a water containing chamber 1b and an electrical chamber 1c isolated from each other are formed inside the box body 1. The outlet 1a is communicated with the water containing chamber 1b, and the electrical chamber 1c is used to accommodate a wire harness 8 connected with the atomization sheet 3. Specifically, the electrical chamber 1c and the water containing chamber 1b can be separated by a partition structure 1e. The partition structure 1e, the box cover 2 and the feeding cover 6 ensure the closure of the water containing chamber 1b. The outlet 1a is formed on the partition structure 1e, and the electrical chamber 1c can be closed or non-closed. In the structure shown in FIG. 3, a lower part of the electrical chamber 1c is closed by a decorative shell 9, and the electrical chamber 1c can accommodate the wire harness 8 connected with the atomization sheet 3, thereby achieving power supply and control of the atomization sheet 3. More preferably, the partition structure is U-shaped, and the outlet 1a is formed at the bottom of the U-shaped partition structure. An accommodation groove is formed on an outer side of the bottom of the partition structure 1e, and the wire harness 8 can be partially accommodated in the accommodation groove, thereby positioning the wire harness 8.

[0067] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, the atomization device further includes a wireless charging assembly for supplying power to the atomization sheet 3; the wireless charging assembly is connected with the box body 1, and a part of the wireless charging assembly is located inside the electrical chamber 1c. The wireless charging assembly can adopt electromagnetic induction wireless charging method, or magnetic resonance wireless charging method; of course, other wireless charging methods can also be used. In a preferred case, the wireless charging assembly includes a fixed member, an induction coil 10, an inductive element 20, a first circuit board 30, and a second circuit board 40; the fixed member is arranged on other apparatuses, and the fixed member is connected with the box body 1; the induction coil 10 and the inductive element 20 are both arranged on the fixed member, and the induction coil 10 is sleeved on an outer side of the inductive element 20; the first circuit board 30 is connected with the induction coil 10, and the second circuit board 40 is connected with the inductive element 20. The fixed member can be a fixed bracket, or a fixed plate, or another fixed structure. The induction coil 10 is connected to the atomization sheet 3 through the wire harness 8, or the first circuit board 30 is connected to the atomization sheet 3 through the wire harness 8. The second circuit board 40 is connected to a power source through a wire harness. The inductive element 20 generates a certain current in the induction coil 10 through electromagnetic induction based on a certain frequency of AC electricity, thereby transferring electrical energy from the inductive element 20 to the induction coil 10, and achieving power supply to the atomization sheet 3. By using this wireless charging method, the arrangement of wire harness between the inductive element 20 and the induction coil 10 is omitted. Of course, as an alternative, wired connection can also be used to provide power to the atomization sheet 3.

[0068] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, the fixed member includes a fixed inner plate 50 and a fixed outer plate 60; the fixed inner plate 50 is connected with the box body 1, and the fixed outer plate 60 is fixed on other apparatuses; the fixed outer plate 60 is formed with a first hollow columnar structure 60a, and the fixed inner plate 50 is formed with a second hollow columnar structure 50a; the second hollow columnar structure 50a is sleeved on the first hollow columnar structure 60a, the induction coil 10 is sleeved on the second hollow columnar structure 50a, and the inductive element 20 is arranged in the first hollow columnar structure 60a; the first circuit board 30 is arranged on the fixed inner plate 50, and the second circuit board 40 is arranged on the fixed outer plate 60. The first hollow columnar structure 60a is formed on a side of the fixed outer plate 60 that is close to the fixed inner plate 50. The second hollow columnar structure 50a is formed on a side of the fixed inner plate 50 that is away from the fixed outer plate 60. A diameter of outer tube wall of the first hollow columnar structure 60a is preferably equal to a diameter of 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 with each other. The first hollow columnar structure 60a and the second hollow columnar structure 50a are made of insulative materials such as glass, plastic, or ceramics. Not using metals can avoid electromagnetic shielding. It should be noted that the end of the first hollow columnar structure 60a and the end of the second hollow columnar structure 50a are preferably both closed. Through such an arrangement, the fixed outer plate 60 can serve as an installation base for the fixed inner plate 50, and the fixed outer plate 60 can be fixed on other apparatuses. When it is necessary to add the solvent into the box body 1 or replace the solvent, the fixed inner plate 50 can be detached from the fixed outer plate 60. Then during installation, the fixed inner plate 50 can be installed on the fixed outer plate 60. The first hollow columnar structure 60a and the second hollow columnar structure 50a can play a role of positioning during installation. At the same time, the first hollow columnar structure 60a can accommodate the inductive element 20, and the induction coil 10 can be sleeved outside the second hollow columnar structure 50a, so that both the first hollow columnar structure 60a and the second hollow columnar structure 50a have multiple functions, thereby further improving the compactness of the atomization device. In addition, a magnetic adsorption structure can be arranged between the fixed inner plate 50 and the fixed outer plate 60.

[0071] In view of the problem that existing atomization devices have limited application scenes, the present disclosure provides an atomization device and a clothing treatment apparatus, aiming to enrich the application scenes of atomization devices and facilitate the quick addition of solvent.

[0072] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 12, the atomization device of the present disclosure includes a water box 1, a feeding cover 2, a handle ring 3 and an atomization sheet 4; the water box 1 is formed with a feeding port 1a and an outlet 1b, and the atomization sheet 4 is arranged at the outlet 1a; the handle ring 3 is connected with the feeding cover 2, a first spiral groove is formed on the feeding cover 2, and a second spiral groove is formed on the feeding port 1b; the feeding cover 2 is screw-connected with the feeding port 1b through the first spiral groove and the second spiral groove, and the handle ring 3 is arranged to enable the feeding cover 2 to screw in and out relative to the feeding port 1b. The screw connection between the feeding cover 2 and the feeding port 1b enables the feeding cover 2 to screw in and out relative to the feeding port 1b. That is, rotating the feeding cover 2 in one direction enables the feeding cover 2 to screw in and close the feeding port 1b, and rotating the feeding cover 2 in the other direction enables the feeding cover 2 to screw out and open the feeding port 1b.

[0073] Preferably, a handle ring 3 is rotatably connected with an outer surface of the feeding cover 2, and the handle ring 3 can rotate in a non-pulling state and be accommodated in the feeding port 1b. The handle ring 3 can be connected to the outer surface of the feeding cover 2 through pivotal connection. After the feeding port 1b is closed by the feeding cover 2, the outer surface of the feeding cover 2 has a certain distance from an outer edge of the feeding port 1b. This distance ensures that the handle ring 3 in the non-pulling state can be accommodated. In this state, the plane where the handle ring 3 is located is parallel to the plane where the outer surface of the feeding cover 2 is located. When the handle ring 3 is in a pulling state (for example, the handle ring 3 exposes the feeding port 1b, making it easier for the user to grip), the plane where the handle ring 3 is located is perpendicular to or at a certain angle to the plane where the outer surface of the feeding cover 2 is located, so that twisting the handle ring 3 enables the feeding cover 2 to screw out of the feeding port 1b. Of course, as an alternative, the handle ring 3 can also be connected with the feeding cover 2 by insertion or snap-fit, which can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art.

[0074] Preferably, a first sealing member is arranged between the feeding cover 2 and the feeding port 1b, and the first sealing member can be a sealing ring, a sealing gasket, or other sealing structures.

The abutment member can be an abutment rib, or a structure in which an abutment rib matches with an abutment groove. For example, an abutment rib can be formed on the box cover 12. An L-shaped abutment rib 12a is shown in FIGS. 9 and 12. During installation, the L-shaped abutment rib 12a can be abutted against an inner side of an edge of a box opening 11a formed on the box body 11 and matched with the box cover 12. Then, the box cover 12 can be snap-fitted with the box body 11 through the snap-fit member so that the box cover 12 can cover and close the box opening 11a. The snap-fit member can be in the form of a claw matching with a snap-fit opening, or in the form of a snap-fit protrusion matching with a snap-fit groove, which can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art.

[0076] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, a second sealing member 5 is arranged between the box body 11 and the box cover 12, and a through opening 5a is formed on the second sealing member 5; the snap-fit member includes a first snap-fit element 61 arranged on the box cover 12 and a second snap-fit element 62 arranged on the box body 11, and the first snap-fit element 61 passes through the through opening 5a and is snap-fitted and fixed with the second snap-fit element 62. The second sealing member 5 can be a sealing ring, or a sealing gasket, or other sealing structures. Through the cooperation of the through opening 5a and the first snap-fit element 61, the first snap-fit element 61 can not only be snap-fitted with the second snap-fit element 62 to achieve the installation of the box cover 12 and the box body 11, but also can position the second sealing member 5 to prevent the second sealing member 5 from moving when the box cover 12 covers and closes the box opening 11a. Of course, a positioning protrusion can also be formed on the second sealing member 5, and a positioning groove can be formed on the box cover 12. The positioning protrusion is mated with the positioning groove. Taking the second sealing member 5 being a square ring-shaped sealing gasket as an example, there can be two first snap-fit elements 61, which are located on a pair of sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket; and there are two positioning protrusions, which are located on the other pair of sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket. When the box cover 12 covers and closes the box opening 11a, the mating between the first snap-fit element 61 and the through opening 5a can achieve the positioning of one pair of sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket, and the mating between the positioning protrusions and the positioning grooves can achieve the positioning of the other pair of sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket, ensuring that all four sides of the square ring-shaped sealing gasket can be positioned and that the square ring-shaped sealing gasket will not move or deform. In a preferred case, the first snap-fit element 61 is a snap-fit plate with a snap-fit opening, and the second snap-fit element 62 is a snap-fit protrusion. During installation, the snap-fit plate passes through the through opening 5a and exposes the snap-fit opening so that the snap-fit opening is snap-fitted with the snap-fit protrusion. Of course, the first snap-fit element 61 and the second snap-fit element 62 can also use other snap-fit methods. Of course, in the above, the snap-fit member can also directly snap-fit the box body 11 with the box cover 12 without mating with the second sealing member 5.

The second circuit board 40 is connected to a power source through a wire harness. The inductive element 20 generates a certain current in the induction coil 10 through electromagnetic induction based on a certain frequency of AC electricity, thereby transferring electrical energy from the inductive element 20 to the induction coil 10, and achieving power supply to the atomization sheet 4. By using this wireless charging method, the arrangement of wire harness between the inductive element 20 and the induction coil 10 is omitted. Of course, as an alternative, wired connection can also be used to provide power to the atomization sheet 4.

The first hollow columnar structure 60a and the second hollow columnar structure 50a are made of insulative materials such as glass, plastic, or ceramics. Not using metals can avoid electromagnetic shielding. It should be noted that the end of the first hollow columnar structure 60a and the end of the second hollow columnar structure 50a are preferably both closed. Through such an arrangement, the fixed outer plate 60 can serve as an installation base for the fixed inner plate 50, and the fixed outer plate 60 can be fixed on other apparatuses. When it is necessary to add the solvent into the water box 1 or replace the solvent, the fixed inner plate 50 can be detached from the fixed outer plate 60. Then during installation, the fixed inner plate 50 can be installed on the fixed outer plate 60.
