[0052] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0053] In the related art, when the drum washing machine is working, the additives follow the cleaning water into the space between the clothing processing tub and the housing, resulting in low additive utilization efficiency and reducing the drum washing machine's ability to clean clothes. The drum washing machine is also provided with a water inlet structure for spraying cleaning water into the clothing processing tub. The water inlet structure makes the structure of the drum washing machine more complicated and increases the production cost of the drum washing machine.
[0054] The following describes a spray head assembly 1 for a clothes treating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 14 .
[0055] As shown in Figures 1 to 14, the nozzle assembly 1 according to the present invention includes: a component body, which is used to be installed in the clothing processing chamber of the clothing processing equipment, and a first delivery channel 221 and a second delivery channel 13 are formed on the component body. The first delivery channel 221 is used to communicate with the delivery box 3 to deliver additives into the clothing processing chamber, and the second delivery channel 13 is used to communicate with an external water source to deliver washing medium into the clothing processing chamber.
[0056] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device can be configured as a drum washing machine, etc. The clothing processing device includes a housing, and an installation cavity is formed inside the housing. The installation cavity is used to install the clothing processing barrel 2 and various components. The clothing processing barrel 2 is rotatably arranged in the installation cavity, and the clothing processing barrel 2 is arranged in the horizontal direction or at an angle to the horizontal direction. A clothing processing chamber is provided inside the clothing processing barrel 2, and clothing is stored in the clothing processing chamber so that the clothing processing device can wash the clothing. The front end of the clothing processing barrel 2 is provided with a loading port connected to the clothing processing chamber, and the front end of the housing is also connected to a door body. By operating the door body, the loading port can be opened or closed, so that clothing can be loaded into the clothing processing chamber through the loading port. Specifically, the door body is rotatably connected to the housing.
[0057] It can be understood that the delivery box 3 is suitable for storing additives, the additives can directly enter the clothing processing chamber through the first delivery channel 221, and the clean water can enter the clothing processing chamber through the second delivery channel 13. The additives cooperate with the washing medium to clean the clothes in the clothing processing chamber.
[0058] The additive enters the clothing processing chamber directly through the first delivery channel 221, preventing the additive from remaining between the door and the delivery port, that is, preventing the additive from remaining between the clothing processing tub 2 and the housing, thereby improving the utilization rate of the additive, thereby improving the clothing cleaning ability of the clothing processing device and enhancing the user experience. The additive can be a liquid detergent and / or a solid detergent. Liquid detergents can include detergents, softeners, fungicides, care agents, and other commonly used preparations. Solid detergents can include washing powder, laundry liquid, laundry gel, and laundry beads. The washing medium can be clean water, etc.
[0059] At the same time, clean water can be sprayed into the clothing processing chamber through the second delivery channel 13, avoiding the need for the clothing processing equipment to separately set up a water inlet structure for spraying clean water toward the clothing processing chamber. Therefore, the nozzle assembly 1 of the present application can integrate the function of the water inlet structure, making the nozzle assembly 1 more functional, and at the same time simplifying the structure of the clothing processing equipment and reducing the production cost of the clothing processing equipment.
[0060] It is worth mentioning that the outlet of the second delivery channel 13 can be set toward the door body, so that the user can judge whether the clothing processing equipment is operating normally by observing whether there is water spraying toward the door body, so that the user can feel the operating status of the clothing processing equipment more intuitively, thereby improving the user's usage experience. At the same time, the clean water sprayed to the door body can flush away the foam and / or additives remaining between the door body and the delivery port in the process of flowing into the clothing processing chamber, thereby improving the utilization rate of the additives and thus improving the cleaning ability of the clothes. At the same time, it can avoid foam and / or additives between the door body and the delivery port after the clothes are washed, thereby improving the user's usage experience.
[0061] According to the nozzle assembly 1 involved in the present invention, its first delivery channel 221 is used to communicate with the delivery box 3 to deliver additives into the clothing processing chamber, and the second delivery channel 13 is used to communicate with the external water source to deliver washing medium into the clothing processing chamber. The first delivery channel 221 can allow the additive to be delivered directly into the clothing processing chamber, avoiding the additive from remaining between the clothing processing barrel 2 and the box body, thereby improving the utilization rate of the additive and thus improving the cleaning ability of the clothing processing equipment for clothes. At the same time, the nozzle assembly 1 integrates the function of the water inlet structure, making the nozzle assembly 1 more functional, and can simplify the structure of the clothing processing equipment, reducing the production cost of the clothing processing equipment.
[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 3-5, a first wall 11 and a second wall 12 facing away from each other are formed on the component body, the first wall 11 faces the inside of the clothing processing chamber and is formed with a first delivery port connected to the first delivery channel 221; the second wall 12 is formed with a second delivery port connected to the second delivery channel 13.
[0063] In some embodiments, a first wall 11 and a second wall 12 facing away from each other are formed on the component body, the first wall 11 is arranged toward the interior of the clothing processing chamber, and the second wall 12 is arranged toward the door body, and a first delivery channel 221 and a second delivery channel 13 are formed in the component body, the first wall 11 forms a first delivery port, and the first delivery port is connected to the first delivery channel 221, and the second wall 12 forms a second delivery port, and the second delivery port is connected to the second delivery channel 13.
[0064] It can be understood that the first injection port is formed on the first wall 11, and the additives can be directly injected into the clothing processing chamber through the first injection port, avoiding the additives from remaining between the clothing processing barrel 2 and the box body, thereby improving the utilization rate of the additives, thereby improving the clothing processing equipment's ability to clean clothes and improving the user's experience; clean water can be sprayed to the door body through the second injection port, so that the user can feel the operating status of the clothing processing equipment more intuitively, thereby improving the user's experience. At the same time, the clean water sprayed toward the door body can flush away the foam and / or additives remaining between the door body and the injection port, thereby improving the utilization rate of the additives and improving the cleaning ability of the clothes.
[0065] It is worth noting that the second delivery channel 13 can be connected to the delivery box 3, in which case the additive can enter the clothing treatment chamber through the second delivery channel 13; alternatively, the additive can enter the clothing treatment chamber through the first delivery channel 221 and the second delivery channel 13 respectively. In this way, the additive can enter the clothing treatment chamber in different ways through the nozzle assembly 1, thereby diversifying the delivery methods of the additive.
[0066] In some embodiments, the diameter of the first delivery port is D, satisfying 1mm≤D≤2.5mm, and preferably D=2mm here to ensure that the entire waterway has a certain pressure under high water pressure conditions. The first delivery channel 221 is provided with a pressure relief valve, which includes a valve body and a valve core. A valve channel is formed on the valve body, and the valve channel is suitable for communicating with the first delivery channel 221. The valve core is movably arranged in the valve channel and is suitable for moving and opening the valve channel after the pressure in the first delivery channel 221 exceeds a preset value; wherein a connecting channel is formed on the valve body, and the connecting channel connects the first delivery channel 221 with the outside.
[0067] Specifically, a valve channel for accommodating a valve core is formed on the valve body, one end of the valve channel is connected to the first delivery channel 221, and the other end of the valve channel is connected to the outside world. When the pressure in the first delivery channel 221 is below a preset value, the valve core is fixed at the connection between the valve channel and the first delivery channel 221 and closes the valve channel. When the pressure in the first delivery channel 221 exceeds the preset value, the high-pressure gas in the first delivery channel 221 pushes the valve core to move along the extension direction of the valve channel and opens the valve channel to discharge the high-pressure gas in the first delivery channel 221, thereby avoiding damage to the first delivery channel 221 caused by excessive pressure in the first delivery channel 221.
[0068] Among them, a connecting channel is formed on the valve channel. After the valve core is pushed by the high-pressure gas in the first delivery channel 221, the connecting channel connects the first delivery channel 221 with the outside, thereby discharging the high-pressure gas in the first delivery channel 221, and realizing pressure relief of the first delivery channel 221. The connecting channel can be set on the valve body and spaced apart from the valve channel. One end of the connecting channel is connected to the first delivery channel 221, and the other end of the connecting channel is connected to the outside, thereby connecting the first delivery channel 221 with the outside through the connecting channel. When the pressure in the first delivery channel 221 exceeds a preset value, the high-pressure gas in the first delivery channel 221 can be discharged to the outside through the valve channel and the connecting channel, thereby increasing the gas flow area, which is beneficial to reducing the gas flow speed, thereby eliminating the whistling noise generated by gas pressure relief and improving user experience.
[0069] Preferably, the pressure relief groove is arranged on the inner wall of the valve channel and on the outer periphery of the valve core. The bottom wall of the pressure relief groove is spaced from the valve core to form a connecting channel. Thus, the first delivery channel 221 can be pressure-relieved through the valve channel and the connecting channel. The pressure relief groove has a simple structure. After the high-pressure gas in the first delivery channel 221 enters the connecting channel, the gas flow area is increased and the gas flow rate is reduced, thereby eliminating the whistling noise generated by gas discharge and improving the user experience.
[0070] In some embodiments, the second delivery channel 13 is connected to a water pump, which is suitable for pumping the clean water in the liquid storage chamber to the second delivery channel 13. A one-way valve is provided between the second delivery channel 13 and the water pump. The one-way valve can prevent the clean water from flowing back to the water pump, thereby preventing the water pump from leaking or flowing back into the liquid storage chamber due to water pressure and clean water.
[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 2 to 5, the component body includes: a base shell 10, a joint portion 30 and a first sealing member, a first delivery channel 221 and a second delivery channel 13 are formed inside the base shell 10, a first docking wall is formed on the base shell 10, a transfer entrance of the first delivery channel 221 and a transfer entrance of the second delivery channel 13 are formed on the first docking wall, the joint portion 30 is arranged on the base shell 10 and is formed with a transfer channel 31 respectively connected to the first delivery channel 221 and the second delivery channel 13, a second docking wall is formed on the joint portion 30, and a transfer outlet connected to the transfer channel 31 is formed on the second docking wall, and the first sealing member is arranged between the first docking wall and the second docking wall and is arranged around the outer periphery of the transfer entrance or the transfer outlet.
[0072] In some embodiments, the base shell 10 can be understood as the foundation of the spray head assembly 1, and the joint portion 30 can be understood as the adapter structure of the spray head assembly 1. Specifically, a first docking wall is formed on the base shell 10, and a second docking wall is formed on the joint portion 30. When the joint portion 30 and the base shell 10 are matched, the first docking wall and the second docking wall can fit together, thereby improving the stability of the mutual matching between the joint portion 30 and the base shell 10. A first delivery channel 221 and a second delivery channel 13 are also formed in the base shell 10, and two adapter channels 31 are formed in the joint portion 30. The first delivery channel 221 is connected to one of the adapter channels 31, allowing the spray head assembly 1 to deliver additives into the clothing treatment chamber. The second delivery channel 13 is connected to the other of the adapter channels 31, allowing the spray head assembly 1 to deliver clean water into the clothing treatment chamber.
[0073] The first docking wall is formed with a transfer inlet for the first delivery channel 221 and a transfer inlet for the second delivery channel 13, and the second docking wall is formed with two transfer outlets, each connected to the two transfer channels 31. During assembly, the first docking wall and the second docking wall are aligned, and the transfer inlet of the first delivery channel 221 and the transfer inlet of the second delivery channel 13 are aligned with the two transfer outlets, respectively, thereby achieving communication between the first delivery channel 221 and the second delivery channel 13 and the two transfer channels 31. Two first seals are configured, one for each of the first delivery channel 221 and the second delivery channel 13. As a result, the first seal can be arranged around the transfer outlet or transfer inlet, and the first seal is located between the first docking wall and the second docking wall. During assembly, the first seal is arranged around the transfer outlet or transfer inlet, thereby improving the sealing effect when the transfer outlet and transfer inlet cooperate. Furthermore, the first and second docking walls can limit the first seal, further enhancing its sealing effect. Compared with an additional sealing structure, the first sealing member of the present application is arranged inside the nozzle assembly 1, which has a better sealing effect, a simple structure, low cost, and a wider range of applications.
[0074] It can be understood that the first seal is a sealing structure in the nozzle assembly 1. The first seal can avoid leakage at the fitting point of the transfer inlet and the transfer outlet, thereby improving the sealing effect of the nozzle assembly 1. The component body of the present application also includes a second seal, which is arranged around the periphery of the two first seals. It can be understood that at least part of the two first seals is located in the plane on the first docking wall, and the second seal can connect the two first seals and seal the gap between the first seal and the first docking wall, thereby further improving the sealing effect of the nozzle assembly 1. The nozzle assembly 1 of the present application is provided with a first seal and a second seal. The first seal is arranged around the periphery of the transfer inlet, thereby improving the sealing effect when the transfer channel and the fluid channel are connected. The second seal is arranged on the periphery of the first seal, thereby improving the sealing effect between the first seal and the first docking wall.
[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the connector 30 communicates with the dispenser 3 and an external water source via a conduit. The laundry treatment device is provided with a sealing door 4, which can be constructed as part of the housing. The spray head assembly 1 is mounted to the sealing door 4 via a fixing bracket 5. Specifically, the fixing bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the sealing door 4 and is formed with a first fixing portion 41 and a second fixing portion 42. The first fixing portion 41 is adapted to cooperate with the connector 30 to secure the spray head assembly 1 to the sealing door 4, reducing the gap between the spray head assembly 1 and the sealing door 4. The second fixing portion 42 is adapted to secure the conduit to reduce its impact on the spray head assembly 1 and to provide a more uniform arrangement of the conduit. Preferably, the first fixing portion 41 and the second fixing portion 42 are each configured as an elastic clip, facilitating assembly of the laundry treatment device and improving its production efficiency. Furthermore, the front section of the elastic clip is designed with a beveled surface that guides the connector 30 or the conduit, making installation of the connector 30 and the conduit more convenient.
[0076] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 5 , the component body is formed with a first delivery channel 221 communicating with the laundry processing chamber, a second delivery channel 13 , and a residual water chamber 14 suitable for storing residual water.
[0077] It is understood that when the first delivery channel 221 is clogged with clothing or impurities, the residual additive in the first delivery channel 221 can flow into the residual water chamber 14 for storage; during operation of the clothing treatment device, additives leaking from the transfer chamber can also be stored in the residual water chamber 14; at the same time, wash water splashed from the clothing treatment chamber into the component body can also be stored in the residual water chamber 14. Thus, by providing the residual water chamber 14 within the component body, wash water and / or additives flowing from the delivery channel, transfer chamber, and clothing treatment chamber into the nozzle assembly 1 can be buffered, preventing the wash water and / or additives from flowing into other electrical components, thereby improving the stability and safety of the clothing treatment device during operation.
[0078] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in FIG5 , a residual water hole 15 is formed on the component body for connecting the residual water chamber 14 with the clothes processing chamber.
[0079] In some embodiments, a residual water hole 15 is also provided on the component body, which connects the residual water chamber 14 and the clothing processing chamber. The washing water or additives from the clothing processing chamber, the washing chamber and the delivery channel stored in the residual water chamber 14 can flow back into the clothing processing chamber through the residual water hole 15, thereby improving the utilization rate of the additives and thus improving the cleaning ability of the clothing processing equipment on clothes.
[0080] In addition, the provision of the residual water hole 15 can also prevent the residual water chamber 14 from storing too much liquid, thereby causing the liquid in the residual water chamber 14 to overflow onto other electrical components, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the clothing processing equipment during operation.
[0081] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 8 , an air suction channel 23 is formed on the component body, connecting the first delivery channel 221 with the residual water chamber 14 .
[0082] It can be understood that the residual water chamber 14 is connected to the clothing processing chamber through the residual water hole 15. Thus, the air intake channel 23 can introduce the gas in the clothing processing chamber into the first delivery channel 221, thereby increasing the gas content of the washing water in the first delivery channel 221, and then increasing the number of bubbles formed by the delivered washing water, increasing the contact area between the washing water and the clothes, improving the utilization rate of the washing water, and thus enhancing the washing effect of the clothes.
[0083] At the same time, by forming bubbles into the released washing water, a large number of bubbles can produce more foam under collision, the cleaning ingredients are more dispersed, and the foam can cover more areas of the clothes, thereby increasing the contact area between the washing water and the clothes, and improving the washing effect of the clothes. A small amount of clean water can be passed into the clothes processing chamber to wet the clothes. Compared with the conventional water washing method of passing a large amount of clean water into the clothes processing chamber, the use of clean water can be effectively reduced.
[0084] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 4 to 8, the first delivery channel 221 includes a first tubular lumen segment 2211, a second tubular lumen segment 2212 and a third tubular lumen segment 2213 that are connected in sequence. Along the direction of the first tubular lumen segment 2211 toward the second tubular lumen segment 2212, the flow area of the first tubular lumen segment 2211 gradually decreases, and along the direction of the second tubular lumen segment 2212 toward the third tubular lumen segment 2213, the flow area of the third tubular lumen segment 2213 gradually increases.
[0085] It is understood that by arranging the first lumen section 2211, the second lumen section 2212, and the third lumen section 2213 in the above-described configuration, the interior of the first delivery channel 221 forms a structure similar to a Venturi tube, thereby generating a corresponding Venturi effect. The Venturi effect refers to the increase in fluid velocity and decrease in static pressure at a narrow section of a pipe when fluid passes through the narrow section. Since the second tube cavity section 2212 is narrower than the first tube cavity section 2211 and the third tube cavity section 2213, by connecting the air intake channel 23 with the second tube cavity section 2212, when fluid flows in the first delivery channel 221, such as when washing water flows in the first delivery channel 221, under the action of the Venturi effect in the first delivery channel 221, the external gas of the first delivery channel 221 can enter the first delivery channel 221, thereby increasing the gas content in the washing water in the first delivery channel 221, and then increasing the number of bubbles formed by the washing water ejected from the outlet of the first delivery channel 221, increasing the contact area between the washing water and the clothes, and thus improving the washing effect of the clothes.
[0086] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 7-8, the suction channel 23 connects the second tube cavity segment 2212 with the residual water chamber 14. It can be understood that when the third tube cavity segment 2213 is blocked, the detergent in the first delivery channel 221 can flow into the suction channel 23 from the second tube cavity segment 2212, and then flow into the residual water chamber 14 through the suction channel 23, effectively preventing the detergent in the first delivery channel 221 from flowing back into the delivery box 3, and at the same time preventing the additive from staying between the delivery box 3 and the third tube cavity segment 2213, thereby preventing the additive from leaking from the connection between the delivery box 3 and the component body, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the clothing processing equipment during operation.
[0087] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figure 4, the component body includes: a base shell 10 and a nozzle part 20, a first wall 11 and a second wall 12 are formed on the base shell 10, and a channel cavity 16 and a second delivery channel 13 are formed inside the base shell 10, the outlet of the channel cavity 16 is arranged on the first wall 11, at least a portion of the nozzle part 20 is accommodated in the channel cavity 16, and a first delivery channel 221 is formed in the nozzle part 20.
[0088] In some embodiments, the base housing 10 is formed with a first wall 11 and a second wall 12 that face away from each other. A channel cavity 16 and a second delivery channel 13 are formed within the base housing 10. The outlet of the channel cavity 16 is formed in the first wall 11, and the outlet of the second delivery channel 13 is formed in the second wall 12. A first delivery channel 221 is formed within the nozzle portion 20. At least a portion of the nozzle portion 20 is housed within the channel cavity 16, and the first delivery channel 221 is in communication with the channel cavity 16. It will be appreciated that the additive is mixed with the clean water to form wash water, which then passes through the first delivery channel 221 and enters the laundry treatment chamber. The first delivery channel 221 within the nozzle portion 20 can cause the wash water to enter the laundry treatment chamber in the form of foam.
[0089] Thus, by forming the first delivery channel 221 in the nozzle portion 20, with at least a portion of the nozzle portion 20 housed within the channel cavity 16, when the first delivery channel 221 becomes clogged, the user can directly disassemble the nozzle portion 20 to clear the first delivery channel 221, avoiding the need to disassemble the entire component body. This simplifies the repair process of the nozzle assembly 1 and improves the repair efficiency of the nozzle assembly 1. Similarly, when the nozzle portion 20 or the base housing 10 is damaged and needs to be replaced, only the damaged component needs to be replaced, avoiding the need to replace the entire nozzle assembly 1, thereby reducing the repair cost of the nozzle assembly 1.
[0090] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 7-8, the nozzle portion 20 includes: an upper connecting section 21 and a lower connecting section 22, the upper connecting section 21 is accommodated in the channel cavity 16, an upper connecting channel 211 is formed in the upper connecting section 21, the upper connecting channel 211 is suitable for communicating with the delivery box 3, the lower connecting section 22 is arranged on the first wall 11, the lower connecting section 22 is connected to the upper connecting section 21, and a first tubular cavity section 2211, a second tubular cavity section 2212 and a third tubular cavity section 2213 are formed in the lower connecting section 22.
[0091] It is understood that the nozzle portion 20 includes an upper connecting section 21 and a lower connecting section 22, which are separately molded and then assembled to form the nozzle portion 20. This simplifies the molding process of the nozzle portion 20, improves the production efficiency of the nozzle portion 20, and thus improves the production efficiency of the nozzle assembly 1. It is worth mentioning that the first tube cavity section 2211 is connected to the upper connecting channel 211, and the additive in the delivery box 3 is mixed with the clean water to form washing water. The washing water passes through the upper connecting channel 211, the first tube cavity section 2211, the second tube cavity section 2212, and the third tube cavity section 2213 in sequence and enters the clothing treatment chamber in the form of foam, thereby increasing the contact area between the washing water and the clothing, thereby improving the washing effect of the clothing.
[0092] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the upper connecting section 21 and the lower connecting section 22 are each constructed as a metal part. It is understood that the nozzle portion 20 includes the upper connecting section 21 and the lower connecting section 22, and both the upper connecting section 21 and the lower connecting section 22 are constructed as metal parts. Metal parts have high strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Therefore, through the above arrangement, the service life of the nozzle portion 20 can be extended, and the cost of using the clothing processing device can be reduced. At the same time, the metal parts have good plasticity. Therefore, the upper connecting section 21 and the lower connecting section 22 are each constructed as metal parts, which can improve the production efficiency of the nozzle portion 20, thereby improving the production efficiency of the nozzle assembly 1.
[0093] Specifically, during the flow of washing water in the upper connecting channel 211, it is first formed with a component velocity along the circumferential direction of the upper connecting channel 211 through the action of the spoiler 25, and then the air content in the washing water is increased through the air replenishment effect of the suction channel 23. When the washing water is sprayed into the clothing processing chamber, the washing water can diffuse the spray angle along the circumferential direction of the upper connecting channel 211, and at the same time form a large number of bubble structures, thereby effectively increasing the contact area between the washing water and the clothes, increasing the utilization rate of the washing water, and improving the washing effect of the clothes.
[0094] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the outlet of the first delivery channel 221 is arranged on the first wall 11 and is suitable for facing the clothing processing chamber. At the same time, the outlet of the second delivery channel 13 is arranged on the second wall 12 and is suitable for facing away from the clothing processing chamber, so that the nozzle assembly 1 has the function of spraying liquid detergent and / or solid detergent toward the clothing processing chamber and the function of spraying cleaning water toward the door body. The nozzle assembly 1 has richer functions, and the liquid detergent and / or solid detergent can enter the clothing processing chamber in different ways through the nozzle assembly 1, so that the delivery method of the liquid detergent and / or solid detergent is diversified. At the same time, the cleaning water can be sprayed to the door body through the second delivery channel 13, so that the user can more intuitively feel the operating status of the clothing processing equipment. At the same time, the cleaning water sprayed to the door body can flush away the foam, liquid detergent and / or solid detergent remaining between the door body and the delivery port in the process of flowing into the clothing processing chamber, thereby improving the utilization rate of the liquid detergent and / or solid detergent, thereby improving the cleaning ability of the clothes and enhancing the user experience.
[0095] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the upper connecting section 21 is provided with a spoiler 25 located within the upper connecting channel 211. It is understood that the spoiler 25 can cause the fluid flowing through the spoiler 25 in the upper connecting channel 211 to have a component velocity along the circumferential direction of the upper connecting channel 211. By providing the spoiler 25 within the upper connecting channel 211, the wash water flowing through the spoiler 25 in the upper connecting channel 211 to have a component velocity along the circumferential direction of the upper connecting channel 211. When the wash water flows out through the upper connecting channel 211, the component velocity of the wash water along the circumferential direction of the upper connecting channel 211 can increase the spray angle of the wash water, thereby increasing the spray area of the wash water when entering the laundry processing chamber, thereby increasing the contact area between the wash water and the laundry, increasing the utilization rate of the wash water, and improving the laundry washing effect.
[0096] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a groove is formed at the end of the lower connecting section 22 facing the clothing processing chamber, and the bottom wall of the groove is provided with an outlet of the first delivery channel 221. It is understandable that when there are a lot of clothes in the clothing processing chamber, the clothes will come into contact with the end of the lower connecting section 22 facing the clothing processing chamber. Therefore, by providing a groove at the end of the lower connecting section 22 facing the clothing processing chamber and providing the outlet of the first delivery channel 221 at the bottom wall of the groove, it is possible to prevent the clothes from blocking the outlet of the first delivery channel 221, so that the washing water can be smoothly sprayed into the clothing processing chamber. At the same time, when the clothing processing tub 2 rotates and washes the clothes, the washing water may splash onto the nozzle assembly 1. The groove can buffer the washing water splashed at the outlet of the first delivery channel 221, preventing the washing water from flowing back into the nozzle assembly 1 through the first delivery channel 221.
[0097] According to some embodiments of the present invention, an annular protrusion 24 is formed at the end of the lower connecting section 22, surrounding the outlet of the first delivery channel 221. A groove is defined within the annular protrusion 24. It will be appreciated that when a large amount of laundry is contained in the laundry treatment chamber, the annular protrusion 24 can come into contact with the laundry and prevent the laundry from clogging the outlet of the first delivery channel 221, thereby allowing wash water to be smoothly sprayed into the laundry treatment chamber.
[0098] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the annular protrusion 24 includes: a lower arc-shaped portion 242 and an upper arc-shaped portion 241, the lower arc-shaped portion 242 is arranged on the outer periphery of the lower edge of the outlet of the first delivery channel 221, and the upper arc-shaped portion 241 is arranged on the outer periphery of the upper edge of the outlet of the first delivery channel 221, and the upper arc-shaped portion 241 is connected to the lower arc-shaped portion 242 to form a groove; wherein the thickness of the lower arc-shaped portion 242 is less than the thickness of the upper arc-shaped portion 241.
[0099] In some embodiments, the upper arc portion 241 is arranged around the outer periphery of the upper edge of the outlet of the first delivery channel 221, and the lower arc portion 242 is arranged around the outer periphery of the lower edge of the outlet of the first delivery channel 221. The two ends of the upper arc portion 241 on the circumferential direction of the outlet of the first delivery channel 221 are respectively connected to the two ends of the lower arc portion 242 on the circumferential direction of the outlet of the first delivery channel 221. The thickness of the upper arc portion 241 is smaller than that of the lower arc portion 242, and the thickness of the upper arc portion 241 is larger. It can be understood that the lower arc portion 242 is closer to the center of the clothing processing chamber than the upper arc portion 241, so that the lower arc portion 242 is more likely to contact the clothing. Therefore, by making the curvature of the lower arc portion 242 smaller, the contact area between the lower arc portion 242 and the clothing can be reduced, thereby reducing damage to the clothing; the upper arc portion 241 is suitable for abutting against the base shell 10. Therefore, by making the thickness of the upper arc portion 241 larger, the contact area between the upper arc portion 241 and the base shell 10 can be increased, thereby improving the connection stability between the upper arc portion 241 and the base shell 10, and then improving the connection stability between the nozzle portion 20 and the base shell 10.
[0100] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of second delivery channels 13 are formed on the base shell 10, and clean water is sprayed toward the door body through the plurality of second delivery channels 13. Among the plurality of second delivery channels 13, outlets of some second delivery channels 13 extend radially, and outlets of other portion of the second delivery channels 13 extend circumferentially. Thus, clean water can be sprayed toward the door body radially and circumferentially through the plurality of second delivery channels 13, thereby increasing the spraying area of the clean water on the door body and thereby improving the cleaning ability of the door body.
[0101] The clothes treating apparatus according to the present invention will be briefly described below.

[0103] In summary, according to the nozzle assembly 1 involved in the present invention, its first delivery channel 221 is used to communicate with the delivery box 3 to deliver additives into the clothing processing chamber, and the second delivery channel 13 is used to communicate with the external water source to deliver washing medium into the clothing processing chamber. The first delivery channel 221 can allow the additive to be delivered directly to the clothing processing chamber, avoiding the additive from remaining between the clothing processing barrel 2 and the box body, thereby improving the utilization rate of the additive. At the same time, the nozzle assembly 1 integrates the function of the water inlet structure, making the nozzle assembly 1 more functional, and can simplify the structure of the clothing processing equipment, thereby reducing the production cost of the clothing processing equipment; the first delivery port and the second delivery port are respectively formed on the first wall 11 and the second wall 12, and the first wall 1 1 and the second wall 12 are arranged away from each other, so that clean water can be sprayed toward the door body through the second injection port, and the clean water sprayed to the door body can flush away the foam and / or additives remaining between the door body and the injection port in the process of flowing into the clothing cavity, thereby improving the utilization rate of the additives, thereby improving the cleaning ability of the clothes and enhancing the user experience; the sealing member is arranged between the first docking wall and the second docking wall and surrounds the outer periphery of the transfer inlet or the transfer outlet, thereby improving the sealing performance of the nozzle assembly 1; the first tube cavity section 2211, the second tube cavity section 2212 and the third tube cavity section 2213 are connected in sequence, and in the direction from the first tube cavity section 2211 to the third tube cavity section 2213, the first tube cavity section 2211 is connected to the second tube cavity section 2213. The flow area of 2211 gradually decreases, and the flow area of the third tube cavity section 2213 gradually increases, so that the interior of the first delivery channel 221 forms a structure similar to a Venturi tube and can produce a Venturi effect accordingly, thereby increasing the number of bubbles formed by the washing water ejected from the outlet of the first delivery channel 221, increasing the contact area between the washing water and the clothes, and thus improving the washing effect of the clothes; the upper connecting section 21 is provided with a spoiler 25 located in the upper connecting channel 211, and the spoiler 25 can make the washing water have a component velocity along the circumferential direction of the upper connecting channel 211, thereby increasing the spray angle of the washing water, and then increasing the spray area when the washing water enters the clothing processing chamber, increasing the contact area between the washing water and the clothes, and increasing The utilization rate of washing water is increased, and the washing effect of clothes is improved; the upper arc portion 241 and the lower arc portion 242 are connected to form a groove surrounding the outlet of the first delivery channel 221, and the groove can buffer washing water to prevent the washing water from flowing back into the nozzle assembly 1 through the first delivery channel 221; the thickness of the lower arc portion 242 is less than that of the upper arc portion 241, which can reduce the contact area between the lower arc portion 242 and the clothes, thereby reducing damage to the clothes; the upper connecting section 21 and the lower connecting section 22 are respectively constructed as metal parts, which extends the service life of the nozzle portion 20, and at the same time can make the surface of the upper arc portion 241 and the surface of the lower arc portion 242 smoother, reducing the wear of the upper arc portion 241 and the lower arc portion 242 on the clothes.A residual water chamber 14 is formed in the component body, which can buffer the washing water and / or additives flowing into the nozzle assembly 1 from the delivery channel, the transfer chamber and the clothing processing chamber, thereby preventing the washing water and / or additives from flowing into other electrical components, thereby improving the stability and safety of the clothing processing equipment during operation.
