Description

The present invention belongs to the technical field of clothes processing equipment, and more particularly to laundry equipment.

Usually, a vent pipe is connected on the washing tube of the washing machine. The ventilation pipe communicates the inside and outside of the washing cylinder so as to avoid excessive pressure in the washing cylinder when launching water into the washing cylinder or heating the washing water.

A vent tube is typically connected between the tub and the detergent dispenser. In this case, if the temperature of the washing water in the washing cylinder is too high, the high-temperature gas released from the washing cylinder spreads inside the detergent dispenser, causing condensation, which results in the operating structure of the detergent dispenser ( For example, liquid is stored in the inlet lid or handle), and when the user moves the charging position to add detergent, the liquid flows out and stains the user's hands and floor, or stains the washing cylinder. Due to the long-term liquid retention, bacteria breed at the position of the loading structure, affecting the sanitary environment inside the laundry equipment.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a new washing equipment.

In the preferred technical solution of the laundry equipment mentioned above, the bottom of the ventilation chamber is connected to the condensation chamber.

In the preferred technical solution of the laundry equipment mentioned above, the ventilation chamber is a curved chamber.

In the preferred technical solution of the washing equipment described above, the housing includes an upper lid, a lower lid, and a limit member installed between the upper lid and the lower lid, wherein the limit member comprises the upper lid and the lower lid. It can be in removable communication with the lid.

In the above preferred technical solution of the washing equipment, one of the upper cover and the lower cover is provided with a first positioning structure, the other of the upper cover and the lower cover is provided with a second positioning structure, and the upper cover is provided with the The first positioning structure is fitted in contact with the second positioning structure so as to position the lower lid.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that a condensing element communicates between the storage member and the detergent dosing device in the laundry facility of the present invention, wherein the condensing element allows the gas in the storage member to flow into the detergent dosing device. It is installed so as to condense the hot steam released from the inside of the storage member. When the temperature of the gas emitted from inside the laundry equipment is lower than room temperature, the condensing element mainly realizes the operation of guiding the gas so as to avoid the accumulation of gas in the storage member and the excessive pressure. When the temperature of the gas released from inside the laundry equipment is higher than room temperature, the hot vapor can be condensed into liquid by the condensing element in the process of entering the detergent dosing device through the condensing element, so that it can enter the detergent dosing device. The amount of hot steam is greatly reduced, and the hot steam is effectively prevented from diffusing into the operation structure position of the detergent injection device, so that the phenomenon of liquid pooling at the operation structure position of the detergent injection device is greatly improved. As a result, the situation of bacteria breeding in the detergent dispenser can be suppressed, the frequency of cleaning the detergent dispenser by the user is reduced, the hygiene conditions in the washing equipment are guaranteed, and the user experience is greatly improved. .

Preferably, the condensing element includes a condensing member and a vent pipe, a condensing chamber is formed inside the condensing member, the condensing chamber is communicated with the storage member through the vent pipe, and the condensing chamber is connected to the detergent dispenser through a drain port. is communicated with. Due to the arrangement described above, the installation of the vent pipe causes the gas to extend the flow path between the containment member and the condensing member so that the hot vapor begins to cool down in the course of flowing through the vent pipe. Therefore, a large amount of hot steam is condensed early after entering the condensing member, which accelerates the efficiency of condensing the hot steam and guarantees the gas amount of the hot steam that can be condensed. On the other hand, the installation of the vent pipe can extend the distance between the storage member and the detergent dispenser, so that the relative position of the storage member and the detergent dispenser is not restricted by the condensing member. The installation position of the member and the detergent dosing device is highly flexible, which contributes to better adapting to the structural distribution of different models of laundry equipment.

Furthermore, the installation position of the intake port of the condensing member is higher than the installation position of the drainage port, and on the other hand, by providing a height difference between the intake port and the drainage port, the path along which the hot steam flows in the condensation member can be extended to avoid hot steam from passing through the inlet and drain into the detergent dosing device. On the other hand, since most of the condensed liquid flows along the chamber wall of the condensing chamber to the bottom, installing a low drain height contributes to the faster discharge of the condensed water, and the Since the liquid is stored in the container, it is possible to avoid problems such as deterioration of the ventilation performance, trouble in the exhaust of the storage member, or the breeding of bacteria in the condensing member and the generation of offensive odor.

Preferably, a vent chamber is formed in the housing of the condensing member, and the vent chamber communicates with the inlet through the condensing chamber and communicates with the detergent dosing device through the outlet, so that if the gas volume of the hot steam is too large, A portion of the hot steam is discharged from the condensation chamber and may flow into the detergent dosing device through the ventilation chamber. Problems such as deformation and popping of the lid that seals the storage member can be avoided.

Furthermore, a condensing member is installed in the detergent dosing device, and its exhaust port is located toward the bottom of the detergent dosing device. Due to the arrangement described above, the exhaust port is separated from the operating structure located on the side or top of the detergent dosing device, so that the amount of hot steam accumulated at the position of the operating structure is reduced, and the condensed water at the position of the operating structure is reduced. . In addition, as the hot steam dissipates from the bottom to the top or side of the detergent dispenser, a part of the hot steam can condense, so that the gas amount of the hot steam at the position of the operating structure is further reduced. Even if the hot steam enters the detergent dosing device, it is possible to avoid condensed water from accumulating at the position of the operating structure.

Further, the detergent injection device includes a water storage box and a detergent storage member installed in the water storage box, and the hot steam discharged from the outlet of the condensing member and the condensed water discharged from the outlet of the condensing member are all discharged into the water storage box and the detergent storage. A condensing member is installed between the reservoir box and the detergent containing member so as to allow flow between the members. Since the operating structure is communicated with the detergent containing member, the installation described above not only avoids flowing along the inner wall of the detergent containing member to the position of the operating structure when a large amount of condensed water accumulates in the detergent containing member. Also, most of the hot steam in the water storage box can be prevented from dissipating to the operation structure by the detergent storage member, thereby further improving the effect of preventing liquid pooling at the operation structure position of the detergent injection device.

In addition, the bottom of the vent chamber of the condensing member communicates with the condensing chamber, so that a large amount of condensed water is accumulated in the vent chamber and affects the gas flowability. Airflow is ensured between them, and the ventilation performance of the laundry equipment of the present invention is guaranteed.

Furthermore, since the vent chamber described above is a bent chamber, there are more paths for the hot vapor to flow, and some of the hot vapor can be condensed in the course of flowing through the vent chamber and flow back to the condensation chamber.

Preferably, the condensing member housing includes a top lid, a bottom lid and a limit member, wherein the top lid and bottom lid are removably connected via the mitt member so that a user can open the condensing member to clean the inside of the condensing member. It is possible to prevent a large amount of dirt and impurities from accumulating in the condensing member, thereby preventing bacteria from breeding and contaminating the washing water.

Furthermore, the first positioning structure is installed on one of the upper lid and the lower lid, the second positioning structure is installed on the other, and the first positioning structure is fitted in contact with the second positioning structure. , to position the top lid relative to the bottom lid. Avoid affecting the tightness of the housing of the condensing member due to the upper lid not fitting with the lower lid during the fitting process, and the hot steam in the condensing member directly passes through the connecting gap on the housing to the washing equipment. It dissipates into the housing and prevents it from wetting electronic modules such as computer boards within the housing.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described by combining a washing machine with reference to the drawings. The drawings are as follows.

First of all, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention. A person skilled in the art can adjust it as necessary to suit a particular application. For example, although embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with washing machines, they are not so limited, and indeed laundry facilities with similar aeration and condensation demands, such as, for example, all-in-one washer/dryers. may be arranged with the condensing element of the present invention.

Also, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to describe purpose and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance.

It should also be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms "attachment", "communication", and "connection" should be understood broadly, unless otherwise clearly defined or limited. , may be detachably connected, or may be integrally connected. Also, the connection may be mechanical or electrical. It may be directly connected, indirectly connected via an intermediate medium, or communicated inside two elements. It is possible for those skilled in the art to understand the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms in the present invention according to the specific situation.

As shown in FIG. 1, the laundry equipment of the present invention includes a housing (not shown), a storage member (not shown) installed in the housing, and a detergent dispenser 1. As shown in FIG. The space in the storage member can accommodate the laundry and washing water so as to be used as a washing space for the laundry. The detergent injection device 1 can contain washing liquid, and a water supply line of the washing equipment is connected to the housing member through the detergent injection device 1 so that the washing water mixed with the detergent flows into the housing member. When the laundry facility is a washing machine, the storage member is a washing tube installed within the housing. Hereinafter, the preferred technical solution of the present invention will be described by taking a washing machine as an example.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , the washing machine of the present invention further includes a condensing element 2 . The washing cylinder is communicated with the detergent dispenser 1 through a condensing element 2, which allows the gas in the washing cylinder to flow into the detergent dispenser and condense the hot steam emitted from the washing cylinder. is installed as follows. Due to the installation of the condensation element 2, a large amount of washing water flows into the washing cylinder when the washing machine is activated, thus reducing the space for storing gas in the washing cylinder. At this time, the gas in the washing cylinder enters the detergent dispenser 1 through the condensing element 2 so as to avoid excessive air pressure in the washing cylinder. In particular, when the washing machine has a function of heating the washing water, a large amount of hot steam is generated when the washing water in the washing cylinder is heated, and the large amount of hot steam expands early in the washing cylinder. In this case, hot steam can enter the detergent dosing member 1 through the condensing element 2 so as to balance the air pressure in the washing tub. At the same time, the hot vapor is condensed into liquid under the action of the condensing element 2 to avoid condensing into liquid at some locations in the detergent dispenser 1 after the hot vapor directly enters the detergent dispenser 1. After the condensed hot vapor is introduced into the detergent dispenser 1 in liquid form, it can flow back into the washing tub through the washing water outlet of the detergent dispenser 1 . After being condensed into a liquid, the hot steam dissipated throughout the detergent dispenser 1 tends to accumulate at a portion of the detergent dispenser 1 (i.e., a position where it is difficult to promote the flow of the liquid), further breeding bacteria. This not only solves the problem of polluting the washing water, but also avoids the condensed water in the detergent dispenser 1 from flowing to the floor or the user's hand when the user operates the detergent dispenser 1, which will reduce the user experience. be able to.

As shown in FIGS. 1-4 and 6, the condensing element 2 preferably includes a condensing member 21 and a vent tube 22 . Condensing member 21 includes housing 211 , inlet 213 and drain 214 . A condensation chamber 212 is formed within the housing 211 , and an air intake port 213 and a liquid discharge port 214 communicate the condensation chamber 212 with the outside of the housing 211 , respectively. A ventilation hole is provided on the washing cylinder for communicating the inside of the cylinder with the outside, and the ventilation pipe 22 communicates with the inside of the washing cylinder through the ventilation opening. The condensing chamber 212 is communicated with the air pipe through the inlet port 213 and communicated with the detergent dispenser 1 through the drain port 214 . When the hot steam is emitted from the washing tube, the hot steam flows along the vent tube and enters the condensing chamber through the air inlet 213 so that it is condensed into a liquid while flowing through the condensing chamber, and the liquid outlet 214. can flow into the detergent dispenser 1 through the

In the above-described embodiments, the condensing element 2 is not limited to the structural combination of the condensing member 21 and the vent tube 22, in fact, the condensing element 2 simultaneously meets the exhaust and hot steam condensing demands of the washing tube. I wish I could be satisfied. For example, if the condensing member 21 has an elongated structure or the distance between the detergent dosing device 1 and the washing tube is small, the condensing element 2 may include only the condensing member 21 that directly communicates with the air inlet of the washing tube through the air inlet 213. good. Or, if at least a part of the pipes in the vent pipe 22 is installed in the structure of the condensation chamber, the condensation element 2 has the function of introducing air and the function of condensing at the same time, and one end is connected to the vent of the washing tube. Only the vent pipe 22, the other end of which communicates with the detergent dispenser 1, may be included.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, in one preferred embodiment, the installation location of the inlet 213 is higher than the outlet 214 . The arrangement described above can ensure that the condensed water is discharged from the condensing chamber 212 quickly, avoiding condensed water accumulating in the condensing chamber 212 and occupying the storage space of the hot steam. Also, the amount of condensed water is so small that it is always stored in the condensed chamber 212, preventing the growth of bacteria. By using the installation method described above, it is also possible to avoid the relative arrangement of the inlet 213 and the outlet 214 and the short flow path of the gas, so that the amount of hot vapor remaining in the condensation chamber 212 is This improves the residence time and thus the hot steam condensing effect. Of course, the height of the installation position described above refers only to the relative positions of the inlet 213 and the drain port 214, and the drain port 214 is positioned at the bottom end, the inlet port 213 is positioned at the top end, and so on. Not limited to circumstances. It should be noted that if the condensation chamber 212 is a curved chamber, the flow path of the hot steam will also be curved. At this time, even if the installation positions of the inlet 213 and the outlet 214 are at the same height, the effect of condensing the hot steam can be guaranteed.

Moreover, since the inlet 213 is provided along the lateral direction, the hot steam flows into the condensing chamber 212 to ensure the hot steam suction efficiency. Since the drain port 214 is provided along the vertical direction, the condensed water condensed on the inner wall of the condensing chamber flows down and is quickly discharged from the condensing chamber 212, flows into the detergent dispenser 1, and condenses. Ensure water discharge efficiency. When the two installation measures described above are used at the same time, the tortuosity of the hot steam flow path can be further improved while providing the beneficial effects described above, and a portion of the hot steam flows from the air inlet 213 to the condensation chamber 212. It effectively avoids the direct discharge from the drain port 214 after entering, further improving the condensation effect of the hot steam.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5, a large amount of hot steam enters the vent tube 22 when the amount of hot steam discharged from the washing tube is large. At this time, since the amount of hot steam that has flowed into the condensation chamber 212 is too large, the hot steam that has flowed in earlier is pushed out of the chamber by the hot steam that has flowed in later, and the time that the hot steam stays in the condensation chamber 212 is Shorten. If the residence time is extended to ensure the condensation effect by increasing the difficulty of discharging the hot steam, the exhaust efficiency of the washing cylinder will decrease and the air pressure in the washing cylinder will rise rapidly in a short period of time. It is possible. In this situation, preferably, a vent chamber 215 is further formed in the housing 211 and an exhaust port 216 is provided on the housing 211 in order to balance the exhaust efficiency of the washing tube and the condensation effect of the hot steam. . Ventilation chamber 215 communicates with inlet 213 through condensation chamber 212 and with detergent dispenser 1 through outlet 216 . The installation described above allows the hot steam pushed out of the condensation chamber 212 to flow into the vent chamber 215 and exit the condensation member 21 through the exhaust port 216 . That is, part of the hot steam not in time for condensation is directly discharged from the drain port 214 and part is discharged from the exhaust port 216 . A part of the hot steam close to the condensed state can be kept condensed in the ventilation chamber 215, and at the same time, the exhaust efficiency of the washing tube and the condensation effect of the hot steam can be guaranteed.

In addition, the bottom of the vent chamber 215 is communicated with the condensation chamber 212, and the condensed water in the vent chamber 215 flows downward along the chamber wall and then quickly enters the condensation chamber 212 and accumulates in the vent chamber 215. To prevent the condensed water from affecting the gas flow efficiency and reducing the exhaust efficiency of the washing cylinder.

Preferably, the vent chamber 215 is a curved chamber that extends the gas flow path and ensures the condensation effect of the hot vapor. As an example, an inverted U-shaped plate structure is provided in the housing 211 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 . The inverted U-shaped plate divides the chamber in the housing into two, and the open end of the inverted U-shaped plate and the drainage port are aligned with each other, and the inner chamber surrounded by the inverted U-shaped plate becomes the condensation chamber 212 and the air intake. 213 is provided on the rear wall of housing 211 (that is, on the side closer to vent tube 22) at a location located inside the inverted U-shaped plate. In the orientation shown in FIG. 4 , a gap is formed between the bottom of the inverted U-shaped plate and the inner housing wall of the housing 211 , the outer chamber of the inverted U-shaped plate is used as the vent chamber 215 and the exhaust port 216 is provided on the front wall of the housing 211 at a location located outside the inverted U-shaped plate, for example, at the upper right position of the front wall shown in FIG. The above specific examples are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the specific structures of the venting chamber 215 and the condensation chamber 212 are not limited, and the ventilation chamber 215 and the condensation chamber 212 have their own functional requirements. can be understood by those skilled in the art.

Of course, vent chamber 215, outlet 216 may be provided separately from condensation chamber 212 if condensation effects are not considered. The preferred embodiment of combining the aeration chamber 215 and condensation chamber 212 described above does not constitute any limitation to the protection scope of the present invention. Without departing from the basic principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adapt it to suit their particular application. For example, in addition to the condensing member 21, a ventilation member is also installed between the ventilation pipe and the detergent dispenser 1. A ventilation chamber 215 is formed inside the ventilation member, and the ventilation pipe communicates with the detergent dispenser 1 through an outlet 216 . When the amount of hot steam is large, the ventilation member may be in a ventilated state to realize the split discharge of the hot steam.

Preferably, the air outlet 216 can be arranged in the detergent dosing device 1 and the condensation member 21 is installed in the detergent dosing device 1 so as to reduce the sealing requirements of the condensation member 21 . Among them, the above-mentioned "the condensing member 21 is installed in the detergent dispenser 1" specifically means that at least a portion of the condensing member 21 provided with the exhaust port 216 is housed in the detergent dispenser 1. . At this time, the exhaust port 216 is provided toward the bottom of the detergent dispenser 1 to discharge the hot steam toward the bottom of the detergent dispenser 1 so that the liquid after the hot steam is condensed is discharged to the bottom of the detergent dispenser. Pour it back into the washing tube through the drain. Specifically, the exhaust port 216 is installed along the vertical direction and the opening faces downward.
