Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry washing apparatus provided with a cleaning device, and in particular, to a water pipeline of the laundry washing apparatus.
  • the European patent application EP 1 813 705 A1 discloses a dryer.
  • the European patent application EP 2 128 322 A1 discloses a washing machine.
  • the Japanese patent application JP 2002 018 186 A discloses a washing machine.
  • An existing drum washing machine generally includes a rotary drum for accommodating laundry, a water tub arranged around the rotary drum, and a motor for driving the rotary drum to rotate.
  • the rotary drum is provided with a sidewall approximately in a cylinder shape and an end wall at one end of the sidewall.
  • a water level for rinsing is generally designed relatively low; especially, when there is not much laundry to wash, the water level is even less than 1/3 of the diameter of a mounting bracket. Therefore, after the rinsing, an outer side of the end wall of the rotary drum and an inner wall of the water tub opposite to the outer side are adhered with half-dissolved washing powder that is splashed during the washing process, and dirt and fluff left after breaking of bubbles, which cause secondary pollution to the laundry to be washed subsequently.
  • An existing laundry drying apparatus such as a laundry dryer or a washer-dryer with combining functions of laundry-washing and laundry-drying, generally includes a condensation device connected to the water tub, so as to condense moisture carried in drying air that enters the condensation device from the water tub and finally returns to the water tub.
  • the fluff may be carried directly into the condensation device with the humid and hot air and adhered to the inner wall of the condensation device, thereby affecting the condensation effect or obstructing the whole air circulation passage; even, the fluff may be carried into a fan or a heating tube by means of the fan and then adhered to a surface of the fan or the heating tube, thereby causing greater danger.
  • An objective of the present invention is to enable a laundry washing apparatus to more effectively clean its own parts that need cleaning.
  • a laundry washing apparatus provided with a cleaning device includes a liquid containing tub, a rotary drum that is rotatably supported in the liquid containing tub, a treatment agent distribution box that is connected to the liquid containing tub to deliver a liquid mixture of water and detergent or water and other laundry care agent to the liquid containing tub, a first water pipeline for delivering water to the treatment agent distribution box, and a first water valve arranged on the first water pipeline, where the first water valve is connected to a control device and is controlled by the control device to open or close the first water pipeline that is communicated with the treatment agent distribution box.
  • the first water pipeline between the treatment agent distribution box and the first water valve is arranged with a second water valve, where the second water valve is further connected to a second water pipeline, and an exit of the second water pipeline is arranged on or adjacent to a component to be washed.
  • the component to be washed is a condensation device connected to the liquid containing tub.
  • Large-flow and high-speed water is usually delivered to the treatment agent distribution box, which facilitates the flushing of the treatment agent that is added to the treatment agent distribution box in advance. Therefore, when such a water flow is introduced by the second water valve to the condensation device to be washed, a preferable flushing effect is achieved, and dirt and/or fluff adhered to the inner wall and components of the condensation device to be washed can be effectively flushed away.
  • the second water valve is connected to the control device, and is controlled by the control device to deliver water to either the first water pipeline or the second water pipeline.
  • the second water valve is controlled in such a manner so that the second water valve delivers water to the first water pipeline during a laundry-washing process and delivers water to the second water pipeline during a component-washing process.
  • an exit of the second water pipeline is arranged on a rear end wall of the liquid containing tub.
  • the component to be washed is an end wall of the rotary drum, and the exit of the second water pipeline faces the end wall of the rotary drum; in this way, water that flows out of the second water pipeline may flush the end wall of the rotary drum, and the splash may further flush the inner side of the end wall of the liquid containing tub opposite to the end wall of the rotary drum.
  • the exit of the second water pipeline is arranged close to an upper side of the condensation device.
  • the laundry washing apparatus is a washer-dryer with combining functions of laundry-washing and laundry-drying.
  • a washer-dryer generally includes a condensation device connected to the water tub, so as to condense moisture carried in drying air that enters the condensation device from the water tub and finally returns to the water tub.
  • the washing machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a washer-dryer and includes a liquid containing tub 2, and a rotary drum 7 that is rotatably supported in the liquid containing tub 2, where laundry is washed or dried in the rotary drum 7.
  • a laundry handling tub 2 is connected to a drying air passage 3 to form an air circulation passage.
  • the drying air passage 3 includes in sequence a condensation device 4 for condensing the drying air that passes through the drying air passage 3, a fan 5 for promoting air circulation in the drying air passage 3 and the laundry handling tub 2, and a heating device 6 for heating the air that comes out of the condensation device 4 and re-enters the laundry handling tub 2.
  • the washing machine 1 further includes a treatment agent distribution box 8 that is communicated with the liquid containing tub 2 to deliver a liquid mixture of water and detergent or water and other laundry care agent to the liquid containing tub 2.
  • a first water pipeline 9 is connected to the treatment agent distribution box 8.
  • the first water pipeline 9 is arranged with a first water valve 10, where the first water valve 10 is connected to a control device 11 of the washing machine, and is controlled by the control device 11 to open or close the first water pipeline 9 that is communicated with the treatment agent distribution box 8.
  • the first water pipeline 9 between the treatment agent distribution box 8 and the first water valve 10 is further arranged with a second water valve 12, the second water valve 12 is further connected to a second water pipeline 13, and an exit 14 of the second water pipeline 13 is arranged on an upper side of the condensation device 4.
  • the second water valve 12 is also connected to the control device 11, and is controlled by the control device 11 to deliver water to either the first water pipeline 9 or the second water pipeline 13. Specifically, controlled by the control device 11, the second water valve 12 delivers water to the first water pipeline 9 during a laundry-washing process, and delivers water to the second water pipeline 13 during a condensation device washing process. As a result, during the condensation device washing process, the water passes through the first water valve 10 and the second water valve 12, flows along the second water pipeline 13, and finally gushes out of the exit 14 and pours down into the interior of the condensation device 4, so that the fluff that is adhered to the interior of the condensation device 4 during a drying process is effectively flushed away.
  • FIG. 2 An example of a laundry washing apparatus according to the state of the art is shown in Fig. 2 .
  • This washing machine 20 is provided with a liquid containing tub 21 and a rotary drum 22 that is rotatably supported in the liquid containing tub 21.
  • a treatment agent distribution box 23 is communicated with the liquid containing tub 21 to deliver a liquid mixture of water and detergent or water and other laundry care agent to the liquid containing tub 21.
  • a first water pipeline 24 is connected to the treatment agent distribution box 23.
  • the first water pipeline 24 is arranged with a first water valve 25, where the first water valve 25 is connected to a control device 26 of the washing machine, and is controlled by the control device 26 to open or close the first water pipeline 24 that is communicated with the treatment agent distribution box 23.
  • the first water pipeline 24 between the treatment agent distribution box 23 and the first water valve 25 is further arranged with a second water valve 27, the second water valve 27 is further connected to a second water pipeline 28, and an exit 29 of the second water pipeline 28 is arranged on a rear end wall 30 of the liquid containing tub 21 and faces an end wall 31 of the rotary drum.
  • the second water valve 27 is connected to the control device 26, and is controlled by the control device 26 to deliver water to either the first water pipeline 24 or the second water pipeline 28. Specifically, controlled by the control device 26, the second water valve 27 delivers water to the first water pipeline 24 during a laundry-washing process, and delivers water to the second water pipeline 28 during a tub-washing process.
  • the water passes through the first water valve 25 and the second water valve 27, flows along the second water pipeline 28, and finally gushes out of the exit 29 and flushes the end wall 31 of the rotary drum, and then the splash further flushes an inner side of the rear end wall 30 of the liquid containing tub, so as to clean the end wall 31 of the rotary drum and the rear end wall 30 of the liquid containing tub.
