[0042] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] The present embodiment provides an inner drum 10 for a clothing care device 1, as shown in FIG1 to FIG8 , comprising:

[0045] At least two lifting ribs 11, which are installed on the inner wall of the inner tube 10;

[0046] An actuator 12 is mounted on a lifting rib 11 to operate the clothes or the environment inside the drum;

[0047] A counterweight module is installed at the position of the remaining at least one lifting rib 11 to balance the inertial force generated by the actuator 12 during the rotation of the inner drum 10, thereby achieving dynamic balance adjustment of the inner drum 10 of the clothing care device 1;

[0048] Among them, when the number of the lifting ribs 11 is even, the counterweight module is installed at least at the position of the lifting rib 11 at 180° corresponding to the actuator 12; when the number of the lifting ribs 11 is odd, the counterweight module is installed at the positions of the remaining lifting ribs 11.

[0049] For example, when there are two lifting ribs 11, as shown in Figure 2, the angle between the two lifting ribs 11 is 180 degrees, and they are arranged symmetrically or centrally about the axis of the inner tube 10, wherein one lifting rib 11 is installed with an actuator, and the counterweight module is installed at the position of the other lifting rib 11.

[0050] When there are three lifting ribs 11, as shown in FIG3, the angle between the three lifting ribs 11 is 120 degrees, that is, the three lifting ribs 11 are arranged at equal intervals, wherein one lifting rib 11 is installed with the actuator 12, and the positions of the remaining lifting ribs 11 are all installed with counterweight modules.

[0051] When there are four lifting ribs 11, the four lifting ribs 11 are evenly distributed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the inner tube 10. After one lifting rib 11 is installed with the actuator 12, a counterweight module can be installed at the position of the lifting rib 11 at 180° corresponding to the actuator 12 as shown in Figure 4 (a), and a counterweight module can also be installed at the positions of all the remaining lifting ribs 11 as shown in Figure 4 (b).

[0052] In this embodiment, an actuator 12 is provided at the lifting ribs 11 of the inner drum 10 to act on the clothes in the inner drum 10 or sense the environmental parameters in the drum, such as driving the clothes to rotate back and forth to avoid entanglement of the clothes, strengthening rubbing and beating, or timely detecting and feeding back the washing environment in the drum so as to adjust the washing method in real time, thereby increasing the washing power and improving the washing effect; in this way, the cooperation between the rotating inner drum 10 and the actuator 12 can further expand the functions of the clothing care device 1, optimize the overall functions of the clothing care device 1, meet the different needs of users, and enhance the user experience; and by arranging the actuator 12 in the lifting ribs 11, the space in the lifting ribs 11 is reasonably utilized, the overall structure of the inner drum 10 is optimized, and the washing capacity in the drum is avoided from being affected.

[0053] The present application adds a counterweight module to the inner drum 10 of the clothing care device 1, and uses the weight of the counterweight module to balance the weight of the actuator 12 installed in the lifting rib 11, thereby adjusting the center of gravity of the entire drum to a suitable height, thereby balancing the inertial force generated by the actuator 12 during the rotation of the inner drum 10, that is, improving the eccentricity problem of the inner drum 10 of the clothing care device 1 caused by the uneven distribution of the load in the drum, thereby improving the imbalance and large vibration problems when the drum rotates at high speed, avoiding vibration and displacement of the entire machine, and effectively ensuring the stability of the operation of the clothing care device 1; and the structure is simple, with small working vibration and low noise, optimizing the overall structure of the inner drum 10, and improving the user's practical experience.

[0054] In one embodiment, the counterweight module is a counterweight block 13 and / or an actuator 12; that is, the configuration module can be set as a counterweight block 13, or as an actuator 12, or as a counterweight block 13 and an actuator 12; specifically:

[0055] As shown in Figures 2-4 , the counterweight module is a counterweight 13, which is arranged to adjust the center of gravity of the inner drum 10. The number of counterweights 13 is adjusted to suit the structure of the inner drum 10 and the actual design of the clothing care device 1. For example, one actuator 12 and one counterweight 13 may be arranged as shown in Figure 2 , or one actuator 12 and multiple counterweights 13 may be arranged as shown in Figure 3 . Furthermore, the counterweight 13 may be made of rubber or plastic to reduce vibration and noise.

[0056] As shown in Figure 5, the counterweight module is an actuator 12, that is, a number of actuators 12 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the inner drum 10. Specifically, multiple actuators 12 are evenly distributed and arranged in the corresponding lifting ribs 11. This setting can ensure the stability of the center of gravity of the inner drum 10, which is beneficial to the smoothness of the rotation process of the inner drum 10, while expanding the number of clothes that can be acted on and the mode of action, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0057] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the counterweight module includes a counterweight block 13 and an actuator 12. Specifically, multiple actuators 12 and multiple counterweight blocks 13, or multiple actuators 12 and one counterweight block 13 can be selectively arranged in the inner tube 10. For example, when the number of lifting ribs 11 is three, as shown in Figure 6, the actuators 12 can be arranged in two lifting ribs respectively, and the counterweight block 13 can be arranged at the position of one lifting rib 11. When the number of lifting ribs 11 is four, as shown in Figure 7 (c), the actuators 12 can be arranged in two lifting ribs 11 respectively, and the counterweight block 13 can be arranged at the position of one lifting rib 11. 1, and the actuators 12 are arranged respectively in the positions of the two lifting ribs 11, and the counterweights 13 are arranged respectively at the positions of the two lifting ribs 11. As shown in (d) of Figure 7, the actuators 12 can also be arranged respectively in the three lifting ribs 11, and the counterweight 13 can be arranged at the position of one lifting rib 11; according to different structures of the inner tube 10 and the number of lifting ribs 11, the number of actuators 12 and counterweights 13 can be selectively arranged accordingly, that is, the solution of balancing the weight of the actuator 12 by the weight of the counterweight 13 falls within the scope of protection of this application.

[0058] In one embodiment, the actuator 12 includes any one of a gripping device, a sensing device, a heating device, a light sterilization device, a hypochlorous acid sterilization device, and a high-temperature steam sterilization device. The actuator 12 may also be configured as a moving device, a stirring device, or a lifting device that applies power to the items in the drum. Specifically, the clamping component can clamp the clothes in the drum and hang them to dry, which also facilitates the clothing care device 1 to perform drying and sterilization procedures to avoid wrinkles on clothes; the sensing device includes a water level sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an acceleration sensor, a position sensor, a weight sensor and a water quality sensor, which are used to obtain environmental parameters in the drum including water level, water temperature, water quality, etc.; the heating device can be configured as a heating tube, a heating plate or a PTC heating ceramic to heat the environment in the inner drum to improve the washing effect; the light sterilization device can be configured as a UV sterilization device or a photoplasma sterilization device, and the hypochlorous acid sterilization device is used to electrolyze and generate slightly acidic electrolyzed water, so that the washing water can obtain a higher oxidation capacity and quickly and efficiently kill microorganisms. The high-temperature steam sterilization device can be configured as a steam generator, which uses the steam generator to generate steam to care for clothes or perform high-temperature sterilization.

[0059] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-7 , the counterweight module is disposed within the lifting ribs 11, rationally utilizing the space within the lifting ribs 11, optimizing the overall structure of the inner drum 10, and avoiding impacting the washing capacity within the drum. Specifically, when the counterweight module is configured as a counterweight block 13, the counterweight block 13 can be integrally formed with the lifting ribs 11 for easier installation.

[0060] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 8, the counterweight module is disposed on the outer wall of the inner tube 10 corresponding to the installation position of the lifting rib 11. The counterweight module can be configured as a counterweight block 13, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inner tube 10 by bolts or screws.

[0061] Furthermore, when the actuator 12 is configured as a clamping device, a prying device, a stirring device, a lifting device, etc. that applies power to the items in the drum, the actuator 12 can be hidden in the lifting rib 11. Specifically, a mounting opening is provided on the lifting rib 11, and the actuator 12 is installed inside the lifting rib 11 and its actuator end extends out of the lifting rib 11 through the mounting opening to act on the clothes; the setting of hiding the actuator in the lifting rib 11 optimizes the structural layout of the inner drum 10, is conducive to the beauty of the inner drum 10, and avoids the situation where clothes are entangled on the actuator 12 during the washing process when the actuator 12 is not required to work.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] The present embodiment further provides an inner drum 10 for a clothing care device 1, as shown in FIG9 to FIG15 , comprising:

[0064] At least two lifting ribs 11, which are installed on the inner wall of the inner tube 10;

[0065] At least two types of actuators 12 with different weights, which are installed on the lifting ribs 11 to perform operations on the clothes or the environment inside the drum;

[0066] The counterweight module is installed at the position of the lifting rib 11 and is used to balance the inertial force generated by the actuator 12 during the rotation of the inner drum 10, thereby achieving dynamic balance adjustment of the inner drum 10 of the clothing care device 1.

[0067] In this embodiment, at least two types of actuators 12 are arranged at the lifting ribs 11 of the inner drum 10 to act on the clothes in the inner drum 10 or sense the environmental parameters in the drum. The cooperation between the rotating inner drum 10 and the actuators 12 can further expand the functions of the clothing care device 1, optimize the overall functions of the clothing care device 1, meet the different needs of users, and enhance the user experience; and by arranging the actuators 12 in the lifting ribs 11, the space in the lifting ribs 11 is rationally utilized, the overall structure of the inner drum 10 is optimized, and the washing capacity in the drum is avoided from being affected.

[0068] In one embodiment, the two types of actuators 12 include any two of a gripping device, a sensor device, a heating device, a light sterilization device, a hypochlorous acid sterilization device, and a high-temperature steam sterilization device. The actuators 12 may also be configured as a moving device, a stirring device, or a lifting device that applies power to the items in the drum. Specifically, the clamping component can clamp the clothes in the drum and hang them to dry, which also facilitates the clothing care device 1 to perform drying and sterilization procedures to avoid wrinkles on clothes; the sensing device includes a water level sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an acceleration sensor, a position sensor, a weight sensor and a water quality sensor to obtain environmental parameters in the drum including water level, water temperature, water quality, etc.; the heating device can be configured as a heating tube, a heating plate or a PTC heating ceramic to heat the environment in the inner drum to improve the washing effect; the light sterilization device can be configured as a UV sterilization device or a photoplasma sterilization device, and the hypochlorous acid sterilization device is used to electrolyze and generate slightly acidic electrolyzed water, so that the washing water can obtain a higher oxidation capacity and a fast and efficient microbial killing effect. The high-temperature steam sterilization device can be configured as a steam generator, which uses the steam generator to generate steam to care for clothes or perform high-temperature sterilization.

[0069] The present application adds a counterweight module to the inner drum 10 of the clothing care device 1, and uses the weight of the counterweight module to balance the weight of at least two types of actuators 12 with different weights installed in the lifting ribs 11, thereby adjusting the center of gravity of the entire drum to a suitable height, thereby balancing the inertial force generated by the actuator 12 during the rotation of the inner drum 10, that is, improving the eccentricity problem of the inner drum 10 of the clothing care device 1 caused by the uneven distribution of the load in the drum, thereby improving the imbalance and large vibration problems when the drum rotates at high speed, avoiding vibration and displacement of the whole machine, and effectively ensuring the stability of the operation of the clothing care device 1; and the structure is simple, with small working vibration and low noise, optimizing the overall structure of the inner drum 10, and improving the user's practical experience.

[0070] In one embodiment, when at least two types of actuators 12 with different weights are installed in the same lifting rib 11, a counterweight module is installed at the position of at least one remaining lifting rib 11; wherein the weight of the counterweight module is the sum of the weights of all actuators 12 in the same lifting rib.

[0071] Among them, when the number of lifting ribs 11 is an even number, the counterweight module is installed at the position of the lifting rib 11 at 180° corresponding to the lifting rib where two types of actuators 12 with different weights are installed; when the number of lifting ribs 11 is an odd number, the counterweight module is installed at the positions of the remaining lifting ribs 11.

[0072] In this embodiment, two types of actuators 12 with different weights are provided. For example, a first actuator 121 and a second actuator 122 are provided. The first actuator 121 and the second actuator 122 are configured as actuators of different types and weights. Specifically:

[0073] When there are two lifting ribs 11, as shown in FIG9, a first actuator 121 and a second actuator 122 are installed in one lifting rib 11, and a counterweight module is installed at the position of the other lifting rib 11;

[0074] When there are three lifting ribs 11, as shown in FIG10, a first actuator 121 and a second actuator 122 are installed in one lifting rib 11, and counterweight modules are installed at the positions of the remaining lifting ribs 11;

[0075] When there are four lifting ribs 11, as shown in Figure 11, after the first actuator 121 and the second actuator 122 are installed in one lifting rib 11, a counterweight module can be installed at the position of another lifting rib 11 at 180° corresponding to the lifting rib 11, as shown in Figure 11 (e), and the counterweight modules can also be installed at the positions of all the remaining lifting ribs 11, as shown in Figure 11 (f).

[0076] It should be noted that the counterweight module in FIG9 to FIG11 takes the counterweight block 13 as an example, and the counterweight module can be configured as a counterweight block and / or an actuator.

[0078] Furthermore, a counterweight module is installed in the remaining lifting ribs 11 where no actuator 12 is installed, and the weight of the counterweight module is equal to the weight of the actuator 12 with the heaviest weight.

[0079] If the weight of the first actuator 121 is greater than the weight of the second actuator 122, specifically:

[0082] If the weight of the first actuator 121 is less than the weight of the second actuator 122, specifically:

[0083] As shown in Figure 14, when there are two lifting ribs 11, the first actuator 121 and the first counterweight module 14 are installed at one lifting rib 11, and the second actuator 122 is installed in the other lifting rib 11; wherein, the weight of the first counterweight module 14 is the difference between the weights of the first actuator 121 and the second actuator 122.

[0085] It should be noted that the first counterweight module 14, the second counterweight module 15 and the third counterweight module 16 in Figures 12 to 15 take the counterweight block 13 as an example. The first counterweight module 14, the second counterweight module 15 and the third counterweight module 16 can be configured as counterweight blocks and / or actuators.

[0086] In one embodiment, the counterweight module is disposed within the lifting rib 11, making rational use of the space within the lifting rib 11, optimizing the overall structure of the inner drum 10, and avoiding affecting the washing capacity within the drum. Specifically, when the counterweight module is configured as a counterweight block 13, the counterweight block 13 can be manufactured integrally with the lifting rib 11 for easy installation.

[0087] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, the counterweight module is disposed on the outer wall of the inner tube 10 corresponding to the installation position of the lifting rib 11. The counterweight module can be configured as a counterweight block 13, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inner tube 10 by bolts or screws.

[0088] It should be noted that the actuator 12 can be configured as a clamping device, a plucking device, a stirring device, a lifting device, etc. arranged inside the lifting rib 11 for applying power to the items in the cylinder, or it can be a cleaning device arranged on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 10 for cleaning the outer cylinder 20. Specifically, the cleaning device includes a retractable cleaning brush. When the cleaning process is performed, the cleaning brush is controlled to extend and the bristles on it contact the inner wall of the outer cylinder 20 to clean the inner wall of the outer cylinder 20 when the inner cylinder 10 rotates, and the cleaning process is terminated when the cleaning brush is controlled to reset. Similarly, the sensing device can be arranged in the lifting rib 11 or on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 10.
