EXAMPLE III

The number of the conveyor belts 21 is multiple, the plurality of conveyor belts 21 are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the clothes containing barrel 70, the plurality of conveyor belts 21 and the clothes pushing piece 10 are fixedly connected along a plurality of positions of the circumferential direction of the clothes containing barrel 70, balanced stress of the clothes pushing piece 10 is facilitated, movement stability of the clothes pushing piece 10 is improved, driving force of the single conveyor belt 21 is reduced, risks of breakage or excessive deformation of the conveyor belts 21 are reduced, and use reliability of products is improved. If the number of the drivers 22 is one, one driver 22 drives a plurality of conveyor belts 21 to move, and compared with a scheme adopting a plurality of drivers 22, the number of the drivers 22 is reduced, product components are simplified, and production cost is saved.

Further, the driver 22 includes a driving member, which serves as a power source for providing power for the reciprocating motion of the conveyor belt 21, a first wire spool 221, and a second wire spool 222. One end of the conveyor belt 21 extends to the first wire spool 221 and is wound around the first wire spool 221 in a first direction, and the other end of the conveyor belt 21 extends to the second wire spool 222 and is wound around the second wire spool 222 in an opposite direction, so that when the driving member rotates in one direction, the conveyor belt 21 is released around the portion disposed on the first wire spool 221 and tightened around the portion disposed on the second wire spool 222. Since a part of the conveyor belt 21 between the two ends is located in the clothes holding drum 70 and is fixedly connected with the clothes pushing member 10, the part of the conveyor belt 21 wound on the first wire spool 221 and the part wound on the second wire spool 222 are respectively located on two sides of the moving direction of the clothes pushing member 10 and can respectively pull the clothes pushing member 10 to move towards two directions, so that the part of the conveyor belt 21 which is tightened when the driving member rotates pulls the clothes pushing member 10 to move; conversely, when the driving member rotates in the other direction, and vice versa, the belt 21 is tightened around the first spool 221, loosened around the second spool 222, and the tightened part pulls the clothes pusher 10 in the opposite direction. Therefore, the moving direction of the clothes pushing piece 10 can be controlled by controlling the rotating direction of the driving piece, and the concept is ingenious.

As shown in fig. 7, when the clothes pusher 10 moves to the ejecting position (i.e., the second position 74), the portion wound around the first wire spool 221 is released to the head, so that the first wire spool 221 is substantially free from the wound conveyor belt 21, and the second wire spool 222 is substantially full of the wound conveyor belt 21.

Conversely, the driving member rotates in the other direction, so that the portion of the conveyor belt 21 wound on the first wire spool 221 is released, and the portion of the conveyor belt 21 wound on the first wire spool 221 is tightened to pull the clothes pushing member 10 to move in the direction close to the bottom of the drum, thereby realizing the reset of the clothes pushing member 10. When the clothes pusher 10 moves to the return position (i.e., the first position 73), the portion wound around the second wire spool 222 is released to the head, so that the second wire spool 222 is substantially free from the belt 21 and the first wire spool 221 is substantially full of the belt 21.

Here, the first and second wire spools 221 and 222 may be optical axes, and an annular stop flange 223 is additionally disposed therebetween. Alternatively, both the first spool 221 and the second spool 222 are spools with annular flanges at both ends, and as shown in fig. 7, the flanges at the adjacent positions of the two spools are formed into annular stop flanges 223.

In any of the above embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus is a drum washing machine, a drum drying machine, a pulsator washing machine, a pulsator drying machine, or a washing and caring all-in-one machine.

The following describes a specific structure of the laundry treating apparatus provided in the present application in detail with reference to a specific embodiment, and compares the structure with the prior art.

The drum type washing/drying machine operates by putting laundry to be washed/dried into a drum and starting a washing/drying process, in which the laundry is driven to tumble up and down by the rotation of the drum, and a washing/drying operation is performed.

However, due to the limitation of the drum itself, the user needs to plug the laundry into the drum before the washing/drying process starts and scoop the laundry out of the horizontal drum after the operation of the machine is finished. When clothes are stuffed into the drum, the inner clothes can be pushed into the inner side of the drum through stuffing of the outer clothes. After the clothes washing/drying is finished, the clothes of the type on the market at present need to be fished out by a clothes washer/dryer, and in the process, the clothes at the position, close to the door part, of the outer side of the barrel are easy to be fished out, but when the clothes at the inner side of the barrel are fished out, the labor is wasted. Particularly, in the machine type with a large barrel depth, the barrel depth is even equivalent to the arm length of a user, and the user is very inconvenient to take clothes in the barrel.

In response to such user pain points, the invention therefore proposes a device for automatically ejecting the contents of the cartridge, which uses an ejector plate (i.e. a garment-pushing member 10 in the form of a push plate) provided with a corresponding shape ensuring an axial movement inside the cartridge. Three pressure grooves (namely sliding grooves 72) are formed in the barrel, rubber strips (namely conveying belts 21) connected with the push-out plates are embedded in the grooves, and when the plates move, the rubber strips pull the plates to move, so that clothes in the barrel are ejected out, and the push-out plates can be driven to return and cling to the bottom of the barrel.

Through ejecting the clothing automatically, need not the user and difficultly draws and get the clothing. And a corresponding program can be further set, after the clothes washing/drying program is finished, whether the user can automatically eject the clothes in the drum is prompted, and after the user confirms the operation, the clothes in the drum can be slowly ejected through the action of the ejection plate.

Specifically, the entire apparatus components include: a push-out plate, a rubber belt (namely, the conveyor belt 21), a sealing ring 60, a driver 22, a pressing groove and a slide block 40. Wherein the ejector plate is in contact with the laundry and has holes (i.e. vents 14) to ensure that hot air can pass through the ejector plate into the drum at the dryer. The rubber belt is connected with the push-out plate to drive the push-out plate to move, the rubber belt is stored in the pressure groove in the cylinder, and the rubber belt moves in the groove. The sealing ring 60 is fixed around the push-out plate to fill the gap between the push-out plate and the reinforcing rib 71 and the cylinder wall and prevent the push-out plate from pulling clothes in the moving process. The driver 22 is responsible for driving the rubber belt to move, and further driving the ejector plate to move along the axial direction of the cylinder. And a groove is pressed on the barrel body to restrict the movement mode of the push-out plate in the barrel. The sliding block 40 is connected with the push-out plate, and the movement of the sliding block 40 in the barrel body pressing groove drives the push-out plate to move.

The working process is as follows:

the working states of the whole clothes ejecting device are divided into two states of ejecting clothes and restoring.

When the clothes in the drum need to be taken out, a user starts a clothes ejecting state, the driver 22 rotates forwards to drive the rubber belt to move, the ejecting plate moves towards the outside of the drum, the space in the drum is compressed, and the clothes are ejected by the ejecting plate. The user only needs to place the clothes collecting basket at the opening of the barrel to collect the automatically ejected clothes. When the push-out plate moves to the specified push-out position (namely, the second position 74), the movement is stopped, the phenomenon that clothes at the opening of the barrel are pressed too tightly and are difficult to take out is avoided, and the rest clothes are all at the opening of the barrel at the moment, so that the clothes are convenient for a user to take.

After the user collects the clothes, the recovery state is started, the driver 22 rotates reversely to drive the rubber belt to move reversely, the pushing plate moves towards the inner side of the barrel until the recovery position (namely, the first position 73) is reached, the pushing plate is tightly attached to the wall of the inner barrel at the moment to release the space in the barrel, and then the user can throw the clothes again and can perform the subsequent washing or drying operation.

Therefore, the clothes automatic ejection device ejects the clothes, directly ejects part of the clothes out of the drum, ensures that the residual clothes in the drum are positioned at the position where the clothes outside the drum are easy to take, and effectively solves the problem that the clothes inside the drum are difficult to take after the drum washing machine and the clothes dryer finish working.

Further, since the diameter of the outer opening of the barrel of many current washing/drying machines is smaller than the inner diameter of the barrel body, the clothes are finally stuck when pushed to the opening, and the clothes cannot be completely pushed out. Therefore, the device can be applied to all single-opening tubular structures, the problem that the inner side article is difficult to take due to inconvenience of the single-opening tube is solved, and the inner side article can be pushed to the outer side by using the device, so that the inner side article is convenient to take. Can be applied to wave wheels, rollers and clothes dryers.

Further, the rubber belt driver 22 is integrated with a drive motor of the entire machine, so that the number of drives can be reduced.

In summary, the ejection device provided by the invention comprises a clothes pushing piece and a driving mechanism, wherein the clothes pushing piece can be installed in a clothes containing barrel of the clothes treatment equipment and driven by the driving mechanism to reciprocate along the axis of the clothes containing barrel, so that when clothes need to be picked up, the driving mechanism can drive the clothes pushing piece to move towards the direction close to the barrel opening along the axis direction of the clothes containing barrel, and the clothes pushing piece can drive the clothes in the clothes containing barrel to move towards the direction close to the barrel opening of the clothes containing barrel, so that the distance between the clothes inside the barrel and the barrel opening is shortened, the problem that the clothes are difficult to pick up by a user due to the fact that the clothes inside the barrel is far away from the barrel opening in the prior art is solved, and even for a machine type with a large barrel depth, the user can easily pick up the clothes in the barrel, and the use experience of the user is remarkably improved. After the clothes are fished and taken out, the driving mechanism can drive the clothes pushing piece to move reversely to reset, the space in the barrel is released, the normal operation of the clothes pushing piece in the clothes washing function or the clothes drying function of the clothes processing equipment is not influenced, and the normal operation of the clothes pushing piece in the next picking and taking process is ensured.
