In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

The drum assembly 100 of the laundry treating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. For example, the laundry treating apparatus may be a drum washing machine or a pulsator washing machine.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a drum assembly 100 of a laundry treating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an inner drum 1, an outer drum 5, a buoyancy member 2, a magnetism detecting device 3, and a guide bar 4.

Referring to fig. 1, the inner tub 1 has a laundry placing cavity 113, and a guide bar 4 is provided in the laundry placing cavity 113, wherein the guide bar 4 may extend in the vertical direction (see fig. 1), but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the guide bar 4 may extend in an inclined direction having a certain angle with the vertical direction, for example, the angle between the extending direction of the guide bar 4 and the vertical direction may be 1 °, 2 °, 3 °, 4 °, 5 °, 6 °, 7 °, or 8 °.

The buoyancy member 2 includes a body 21 and a magnetic member 22, the buoyancy member 2 is movably sleeved on the guide rod 4, and the buoyancy member 2 is configured to float on the surface of water. It can be understood that the buoyancy member 2 can move along with the up and down movement of the liquid level, when the liquid level rises, the buoyancy member 2 rises along with the rise of the liquid level, when the liquid level falls, the buoyancy member 2 falls along with the fall of the liquid level, and the liquid level height of the water can be judged according to the floating height of the buoyancy member 2. For example, the body 21 may be made of a foam material, the magnetic member 22 may be a magnet, and the guide bar 4 may be a plastic member.

The magnetic detection device 3 is located outside the inner barrel 1 and is disposed at a predetermined water level, for example, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the magnetic detection device 3 is disposed on the outer barrel 5 and is at the same height as the predetermined water level of the inner barrel 1, and the magnetic detection device 3 is configured to detect a magnetic field signal of the magnetic member 22 to detect whether the magnetic member 22 is at the predetermined water level. It can be understood that the magnetic detection device 3 is in signal communication with a control device (not shown) of the laundry treatment apparatus, so that intelligent control of the water level in the drum 1 can be realized.

For example, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the clothes treating apparatus is a drum washing machine, when washing starts, the inner drum 1 is rotated to a first position, in the first position, the buoyancy member 2 is located at the bottom end of the inner drum 1, and the guide rod 4 extends in the up-down direction, then clothes are placed in the clothes placing cavity 113, then the water inlet valve 6 of the clothes treating apparatus is controlled to feed water into the inner drum 1, the buoyancy member 2 rises along with the rise of the liquid level in the inner drum 1, meanwhile, the guide rod 4 has a guiding function on the up-down floating of the buoyancy member 2, so as to ensure that the buoyancy member 2 moves reliably, when the magnetic detection device 3 detects that the magnetic field signal of the buoyancy member 2 reaches the strongest level through the magnetic detection device 22, the buoyancy member 2 floats to the same level as the magnetic detection device 3, and then the magnetic detection device 3 transmits the signal to the control device of the clothes treating apparatus, the control device judges that the water level in the inner barrel 1 reaches the preset water level, and controls the water inlet valve 6 to stop adding water, so that the water level in the inner barrel 1 is controlled at the preset water level.

The inventor finds in practical research that, in the related art, the water level control device of the laundry treatment apparatus includes a weighing device and a flow sensor, and when washing starts, the weighing device of the laundry treatment apparatus is used to measure the weight of the dry laundry, then the corresponding water inflow amount is calculated according to the weight of the laundry, and then the flow sensor at the water inlet valve controls the water inlet valve to add water of the corresponding water amount to the inner drum, so that the water level in the inner drum reaches a preset water level. However, since the washing machine itself is not accurately weighed, it is difficult to control the water level of the laundry with different qualities, and since the water absorption of the laundry with different materials is different, the related art laundry treating apparatus cannot ensure that the water level in the inner tub is at the preset water level.

In contrast, according to the drum assembly 100 of the laundry treating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, by making the floating height of the buoyancy member 2 vary in real time with the height of the water level in the drum 1, the magnetic detection device 3 is used to detect the magnetic field signal of the magnetic member 22 to detect whether the magnetic member 22 is at the preset water level, therefore, the magnetic detection device 3 can accurately detect whether the water level in the inner cylinder 1 reaches the preset water level, can improve the accuracy of water level detection, can be suitable for detecting the water level of clothes with different qualities and different water absorptions, thereby solving the problems of inaccurate weighing and different water absorption of different fabrics, being beneficial to ensuring the cleaning effect of the clothes treatment equipment and improving the working efficiency, meanwhile, the guide rod 4 has a guide effect on the up-and-down floating of the buoyancy piece 2, so that the movement reliability of the buoyancy piece 2 is guaranteed, and the reliability of water level detection is improved.
