Example 1

The utility model provides a scale inhibiting structure for a clothes processing device, which is shown in figure 1, figure 2, figure 4 and figure 5 and comprises a container 11 arranged in the clothes processing device; the container 11 is provided with a first water inlet, a first water outlet and a containing cavity 111 for containing the scale inhibitor 12; wherein, the container 11 is arranged on the cylinder 2 of the clothes treatment device and is used for inhibiting scale of water entering between the cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder of the clothes treatment device;

the water contact container 11 between the cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder of the clothes treatment device enters the cavity 111 from the first water inlet, contacts the scale inhibitor 12, and the scale inhibitor 12 purifies the water to reduce the content of scale formation ions in the water flow discharged from the first water outlet. The scaling ions refer to metal ions which are easy to form scale after being heated, and include but are not limited to calcium ions and magnesium ions which are easy to scale. In one embodiment, the container 11 is used for purifying water in the drum body 2 and providing the purified water to the inner drum, and the purified water is used for treating clothes contained in the inner drum. Specifically, the space between the cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder forms a water flow channel, water entering the cylinder 2 from the second water inlet 22 of the cylinder 2 flows downwards in the water flow channel under the action of gravity, contacts the container 11 in the flowing process, enters the cavity 111 through the first water inlet of the container 11 to contact with the scale inhibitor 12 for water quality purification, and purified water enters the inner cylinder through the inlet of the inner cylinder. In another embodiment, the container 11 is used to discharge the waste water containing detergent or containing dirt of clothes and metal ions on clothes, which is discharged between the drum 2 and the inner drum, out of the drum after being purified, so as to reduce the pollution of the waste water discharged from the drum 2 to the surfaces of the drum drainage device or other structures of the clothes treatment device contacted during the waste water discharge process, which affects the service life of the clothes treatment device due to the accumulated scale.

In one embodiment, the scale inhibitor 12 is granular, and the scale inhibitor 12 can be directly placed in the cavity 111; or the scale inhibitor 12 is firstly placed in the hollow-out containing object and then placed in the cavity 111, the hollow-out containing object can be permeable to water and can prevent the scale inhibitor 12 from passing through the hollow-out containing object. The principle of the scale inhibitor 12 for inhibiting scale of water includes chelation, adsorption and dispersion, and lattice distortion. When the scale inhibitor 12 is used for chelating, the scale inhibitor 12 is complexed with metal ions which are easy to scale, such as calcium ions, magnesium ions and the like in water to form stable water-soluble chelate, reactants are dissolved in the water, the concentration of the free metal ions which are easy to scale, such as calcium ions, magnesium ions and the like in the water is reduced, and the amount of precipitated calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and the like is further reduced; when the scale inhibitor 12 plays a role in adsorption and dispersion, the scale inhibitor is an anionic organic compound, and can adsorb ions which are easy to scale, such as calcium ions, magnesium ions and the like in water or scale molecules, such as calcium carbonate molecules, magnesium carbonate molecules and the like which are formed in water, and then soluble matters are formed and stably dispersed in the water; when the scale inhibitor 12 plays a role of lattice distortion, molecules of the scale inhibitor 12 in the cavity 111 are adsorbed on lattice point needles of active growth points of crystals in a scale forming process, so that scale crystals cannot be normally produced according to lattice arrangement, the scale crystals are distorted, and the internal stress of the scale crystals is increased to cause the scale crystals to break, thus preventing microcrystals from depositing and scaling and realizing scale inhibition; and the scale inhibitor 12 can reduce the probability of scale deposition such as calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate formed by heating water. It will be appreciated that magnesium carbonate is a sparingly soluble substance and that heating tends to react with water to form magnesium hydroxide precipitate, and that reducing the amount of magnesium carbonate means reducing the amount of magnesium hydroxide precipitate.

In one embodiment, the container 11 has a box structure or a cylinder structure, and is simple in structure, easy to process and easy to assemble.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, 3 and 4, the container 11 is disposed at the bottom of the inner wall of the cylinder 2. Because the water entering the cylinder 2 naturally flows downwards under the action of gravity, and finally accumulates at the bottom of the inner wall of the cylinder 2, the container 11 is arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the cylinder 2, so that the water flow soaks the container 11, the contact time of the water flow and the container 11 is prolonged, the scale inhibitor 12 can be fully contacted with the water flow, ions which are easy to scale, such as calcium ions and magnesium ions, and the like in the water flow entering the cavity 111 or scale molecules, such as calcium carbonate molecules and magnesium carbonate molecules, and the like which are formed in the water are removed more, the scale inhibiting effect is improved, and the water quality purification rate is improved.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, 3, 4 and 6, the container 11 is clamped in a clamping groove 21 on the inner wall of the cylinder 2 to facilitate the installation of the container 11. In addition, the container 11 is disposed in the clamping groove 21, so that the space between the cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder is not occupied, and the space between the cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder is used for storing more water.

In one embodiment, the container 11 is clamped into the clamping groove 21 from the outer side of the barrel 2, and the container 11 is easy and quick to assemble. If the container 11 is installed in the cylinder 2, the installation difficulty is increased, and the assembly time is prolonged. An opening end 211 of the clamping groove 21 of the cylinder 2 is arranged on the outer wall of the cylinder 2, and the container 11 is clamped into the clamping groove 21 from the opening end 211 so as to install the container 11.

In one embodiment, one end of the container 11 extends to the peripheral side to form an abutting portion 114 for abutting against the outer wall of the cylinder 2. The abutment 114 is arranged to define a distance sufficient for the structural body 1 to project into the pocket 21.

In one embodiment, the abutment 114 is provided with a first mounting hole 1141 for fastening to the outer wall of the barrel 2. The outer wall of the cylinder 2 is provided with a second mounting hole 24, the container 11 is clamped into the clamping groove 21 from the opening end 211 until the abutting part 114 abuts against the outer wall of the cylinder 2, the container 11 is sequentially installed on the cylinder 2 by passing through the first mounting hole 1141 and the second mounting hole 24 through nuts, and the installation of the container 11 is stabilized.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 5, the side of the container 11 facing the inner cylinder is provided with a plurality of first through holes 112 to form the first water inlet and/or the first water outlet. The water entering the cylinder 2 contacts the container 11, enters the accommodating cavity 111 from the first through hole 112, and when the water in the accommodating cavity 111 flows out from the first water inlet excessively, the water purified by the scale inhibitor 12 in the accommodating cavity 111 exchanges with the unpurified water in the cylinder 2 through the first through hole 112, so that the water quality purification is realized. Further, the ratio of the aperture size of the first through hole 112 to the maximum external circular aperture size of the scale inhibitor 12 is (1: 5) - (1: 10), so as to ensure the blocking effect of the first through hole 112 on the solid scale inhibitor 12. The scale inhibitor 12 is spherical or blocky, and when the scale inhibitor 12 is spherical, the diameter of the scale inhibitor 12 is 2 mm-30 mm; when the scale inhibitor 12 is in a block shape, the maximum circumscribed circle diameter of the scale inhibitor 12 is 2 mm-30 mm. Further, the scale inhibitor 12 is a silicon-phosphorus crystal spherical scale inhibitor. Further, as the scale inhibitor 12 is consumed, the size of the scale inhibitor 12 is gradually reduced, and in order to prevent the reduced scale inhibitor 12 from blocking the first through holes 112, the number of particles of the scale inhibitor 12 is less than that of the first through holes 112, so as to ensure that when all the reduced particles of the scale inhibitor 12 block only part of the first through holes 112, part of the first through holes 112 are still unblocked for water to pass through. Further, the number of particles of the scale inhibitor 12 is half of the number of the first through holes 112.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, 4 and 5, a plurality of second through holes 113 are formed at one end of the container 11 away from the abutting portion 114 formed on the container 11; the second through hole 113 and the inner wall of the slot 21 are provided with a space 3. The first and second through holes 112 and 113 are respectively located on two different outer surfaces of the container 11, so that the container 11 forms a channel structure. Further, the container 11 is disposed at the bottom of the inner wall of the cylinder 2, and since the first through hole 112 faces the inner cylinder and the gravity direction of the water flow faces the first through hole 112, the water pressure at the first through hole 112 is greater than the water pressure at the second through hole 113. The water entering the cylinder 2 preferentially enters the cavity 111 from the first through hole 112, and the water purified by the scale inhibitor 12 in the cavity 111 preferentially exits the container 11 from the second through hole 113 and enters the cylinder 2. The first through hole 112 forms the first water inlet, and the second through hole 113 forms the first water outlet.

Further, the aperture of each of the first through hole 112 and the second through hole 113 is smaller than the particle size of the scale inhibitor 12 particles, so as to perform a filtering function, so that the scale inhibitor 12 is blocked while water flows through. Further, the ratio of the aperture size of the second through hole 113 to the maximum external round hole size of the scale inhibitor 12 is (1: 5) - (1: 10), so as to ensure the blocking effect of the second through hole 113 on the solid scale inhibitor 12. The scale inhibitor 12 is spherical or blocky, and when the scale inhibitor 12 is spherical, the diameter of the scale inhibitor 12 is 2 mm-30 mm; when the scale inhibitor 12 is in a block shape, the maximum circumscribed circle diameter of the scale inhibitor 12 is 2 mm-30 mm. Further, as the scale inhibitor 12 is consumed, the size of the scale inhibitor 12 is gradually reduced, and in order to prevent the reduced scale inhibitor 12 from blocking the first through holes 112 and/or the second through holes 113, the number of particles of the scale inhibitor 12 is less than the total number of the first through holes 112 and the second through holes 113, so as to ensure that when all the reduced particles of the scale inhibitor 12 are blocked, only part of the first through holes 112 and/or the second through holes 113 can be blocked, and part of the first through holes 112 and/or the second through holes 113 are still unblocked to allow water to pass through. Further, the number of particles of the scale inhibitor 12 is half of the total number of the first through holes 112 and the second through holes 113. In one embodiment, the container 11 includes a first body, a second body; the first body is detachably coupled to the second body to form a receiving chamber 111. The first body and the second body can be detachably connected by, but not limited to, clamping and screwing so as to fill the scale inhibitor 12 into the cavity 111.

In one embodiment, the container 11 is of annular configuration; the hollow area of the annular structure of the container 11 corresponds to the position of the second water outlet 23 of the cylinder 2. When the water flow between the cylinder body 2 and the inner cylinder needs to be discharged from the second water outlet 23, and the water flow flows to the second water outlet 23, the water flow firstly contacts the annular container 11, the water flow flows out through the second water outlet 23 to cause the water flow near the second water outlet 23 to flow in a vortex shape, and the hollow area of the annular structure of the container 11 corresponds to the position of the second water outlet 23 of the cylinder body 2, so that the water flow can be promoted to enter the container 11 to contact the scale inhibitor, and the scale inhibition effect is improved.

In one embodiment, the first water outlet is disposed on the inner wall of the annular structure of the container 11; the hollow area of the annular structure of the container 11 is communicated with the second water outlet 23 of the cylinder 2.
