Rolling type mode of washing and washing machine thereof that a kind of perpendicular bucket formula has the side direction auxiliary force
Technical field
The present invention relates to be a kind of novel washing methods and, specifically, the present invention relates to be a kind of can be in perpendicular barrel washing machine, clothing is carried out the method for rolling type washing and the washing machine of realizing described method, more concrete, what the present invention relates to is to have two rolling surfaces at least, and has the mode of washing and the washing machine thereof of side direction auxiliary force.
Background technology
Prior art, usually washing machine is divided into roller washing machine, rotary drum washing machine and agitator type washing machine, such classification is not based on washing principle, more be based on custom, for example, the more use in Europe be tumbling-box washing machine, Asia custom is used pulsator washing machine, and North America typically uses agitator type washing machine; In recent years, the washing machine of the 4th kind of form of what is called that Chinese Enterprise is released, two-power washing machine.
Even similar CN1170056 (Daewoo Electronics Co., Ltd, 1998.01.14) disclosed multi-impeller washing machine, also only be in the thinking that changes streamflow regime, to propose technical scheme, the document discloses a kind of washing machine that has pulsator apparatus, it is in a kind of clothing tube that has a pulsator apparatus, a pulsator apparatus comprises: a driving impeller that is installed on the clothing tube bottom, by a Motor Drive rotation; With a plurality of driven impellers, separately the axis of back shaft rotates on the sidewall that is fixed on the clothing tube under the rotation of driving impeller drives.But, the document is disclosed to be washing machine under the usual manner, it is mobile promptly to make that by impeller wash solution forms, stir and washing clothes by current, though and described gear is that the gear of side is that some similarity with the present invention is seen in the same way surface,, the purpose difference, the means difference, the technical scheme difference
Researcher of the present invention thinks that above-mentioned washing machine can be divided into two classes in fact, the one, do not rely on current but the washing machine that relies on mechanical force that clothing is rolled, for example, tumbling-box washing machine; A kind of is by current (power) clothing that rolls, and in other words, what of the water yield the rolling of clothing depend on, for example, and impeller, stirring and two-power washing machine.
The merits and demerits separately of above-mentioned two class washing machines after deliberation a lot of year, how to abandon the shortcoming of the two and be the problem that those skilled in the art study always in conjunction with two kinds advantage, the MAYTAG company of the U.S. has proposed useful thinking, and is specific as follows:
US5829277A discloses a kind of roof-mounted washing machine, has spherical washing basket, spherical side agitator is housed on the described washing basket, because its kind of drive limits, two agitators can only be with identical rotating clockwise or counterclockwise (towards impeller time see).Its advantage is that good stirring is provided under the situation of low amounts of water.Though the document has proposed the mode that two impellers are installed in the side,, from its principle, its goal of the invention and technical scheme are not in order to realize the effect of the upset of similar roller washing machine in perpendicular barrel washing machine.
US6220063B1 discloses a kind of washing machine, and described washing machine has gear assembly, and described being immersed in gradually in the cleaning solution is used to drive the agitator on setting and the washing basket.As shown in Figure 1, 2, described two agitators of the document to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, when they are tilting in the disclosed mode of document, have just formed the effect of rolling of similar roller washing machine respectively, certainly, its lifting effect of rolling of falling formation is starkly lower than roller washing machine.The disclosed technical scheme of the document provides the thinking in the action of rolling of perpendicular barrel washing machine simulation roller washing machine really, but, also there are a lot of shortcomings in this scheme, and for example, described impeller needs very big, thereon along need with tighter the cooperating of an inner ring, to prevent that clothing from entering between washing basket and the urceolus, can cause clothing clamping damage washing machine like this, in addition, because two impeller lower ends are in conjunction with closer, it is overheated that easy clamping clothing causes clicking; Also have, no matter two impeller lower ends are near still distance is far away, and for small amount, very difficult formation is rolled.The present invention introduces the document as the main background document, and the present invention all can directly quote the disclosed corresponding contents of the document, and not give unnecessary details in the present invention the omission of the description of some prior aries.
Need to prove, above-mentioned background technology and the present invention, at be the improvement of automatic washing machine because, simple consider washing, utilize the mode of washing of tilting impeller to have open very early.
In fact, in the actual product of above-mentioned two holder of the patent right U.S. Imtech, it is infeasible adopting the uniform impeller of fin of above-mentioned open source literature signal, the impeller that U.S.'s Tyke actual product adopts is similar to the disclosed shape of CN200520133107X, except the impeller structure complexity is with high costs, adopt this form that clothing is rolled towards a direction, almost there is not side direction to roll, inside and outside exchange of clothing group and the probability that exchanges arbitrarily are very low, except cleaning of clothing, also caused the inhomogeneity difference of clothes washing than low.
On structure, researcher of the present invention discloses a kind of vertical multi-impeller washing machine in CN101191285, comprise interior bucket, outer bucket, impeller, motor, decelerator and transmission device, it is characterized in that, described impeller is that the bucket periphery of inner wall is 120 degree or corresponding three or four impellers that are provided with of 90 degree in being hubbed at, this impeller is a basin shape, is provided with the smooth convex tendon of arris, and this impeller back side is provided with gear ring; Transmission device has three or four output shafts that impeller is installed.But, what the technical scheme of this patent disclosure was emphasized is " all impellers are forward or reverse simultaneously ", though set forth " but clothing is got rid of in stereo directional upset throwing " in the literature, in fact, this device can't reach the effect of rolling that is equal to roller washing machine, also can't reach and have the two rolling surfaces effect of must rolling, can't reach more and when rolling, have the effect that the side direction auxiliary force is rolled with increase.
In view of this, special proposition the present invention.
