下面结合图1-图6详细描述根据本申请实施例的喷臂10000。喷臂10000可用于洗涤电器中,下面以将喷臂10000应用于洗碗机为例来说明喷臂10000的结构。
参照图1、图3-图6所示,根据本申请实施例的喷臂10000可以包括主喷臂1000、多个副喷臂2000以及滚珠组件3000,每个副喷臂2000均与主喷臂1000相连,当将喷臂10000安装在洗碗机的底部时,副喷臂2000位于主喷臂1000的上方,当将喷臂10000安装在洗碗机的顶部时,副喷臂2000位于主喷臂1000的下方,当将喷臂10000安装在洗碗机的侧壁时,副喷臂2000位于主喷臂1000的朝向洗碗机内部空腔的一侧。为了描述方便,下面均以喷臂10000安装在洗碗机的底部为例来说明喷臂10000的结构,此时,主喷臂1000为下喷臂,副喷臂2000为上喷臂。
主喷臂1000、多个副喷臂2000上均设置有用于向洗碗机内喷水的喷水孔,当喷水孔喷出的水落到餐具上时,可对餐具起到清洗作用。主喷臂1000、多个副喷臂2000共同喷水,有利于提高洗碗机的清洗效率。
滚珠组件3000设置在主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000之间,将主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000连接为一体,保证了主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000可同时工作,有利于提高喷臂10000工作的可靠性。
具体地,副喷臂2000相对于主喷臂1000可转动,可以增大主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000的喷洒范围,保证了喷臂10000可对餐具的整体进行清洗,从而保证了喷臂10000的清洗 效果较好。
通过设置滚珠组件3000,当副喷臂2000相对于主喷臂1000转动时,副喷臂2000与主喷臂1000之间的摩擦形式为滚动摩擦,而不是滑动摩擦,这样,滚动摩擦力对副喷臂2000转动时的阻力很小,因此可以减少由于摩擦造成的水动力损失,提高水动力的利用率。同时,副喷臂2000相对于主喷臂1000转动时的速度较快,所以通过设置滚珠组件3000,有利于提高主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000转动时的平顺性,从而有利于降低洗碗机的噪声。
此外,滚珠组件3000设置在主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000之间,将主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000巧妙地连接为一体,并且可有效降低主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000连接处的高度,从而减小了喷臂10000的高度尺寸,节省了洗碗机内部空间,为餐具的摆放留出了更多的空间,进而提升了洗碗机的餐具容量,例如可以增加洗碗机内部装载量10mm-40mm。
在具体实施例中,各个副喷臂2000的转动方向可以相同,也可以不同,例如一些副喷臂2000与另一些副喷臂2000的转动方向相反,这样,从这些副喷臂2000喷出的水柱可以在餐具表面产生揉搓力,有利于进一步提高洗净效果。主喷臂1000与某一个副喷臂2000的转动方向可以相同,也可以相反。例如在一些实施例中,各个副喷臂2000的转动方向相同,主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000的转动方向相反,由此,从主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000喷出的水柱可以在餐具表面产生揉搓力,同样有利于提高洗净效果。各个副喷臂2000喷射到餐具上的水柱方向和位置是多向的,减少了死角更容易洗净,由于水流的覆盖率较大,清洗时间也会相应减少,即有利于缩短清洗时间。
在图1的具体示例中,副喷臂2000的数量为两个,优选地,这两个副喷臂2000的转动方向相反,主喷臂1000与其中一个副喷臂2000的转动方向相同。
根据本申请实施例的喷臂10000,通过设置主喷臂1000与多个副喷臂2000,增加了喷臂10000的数量,从而增大了喷臂10000的喷水量,有利于增强喷臂10000对餐具的清洗效果,并且副喷臂2000相对于主喷臂1000可转动,从而增大了主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000的喷洒范围,并且可使从主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000喷出的水柱可以在餐具表面产生揉搓力,保证了喷臂10000可对餐具的整体进行清洗,通过在主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000之间设置滚珠组件3000,将副喷臂2000与主喷臂1000连接为一体,从而保证了喷臂10000工作的可靠性高,并且使主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000之间为滚动接触,有利于减小副喷臂2000与主喷臂1000之间的摩擦力,从而有利于减小水动力损失,提高水动力的利用率,保证水从喷臂10000喷水孔喷出时的压力较大,有利于提升洗碗机对餐具的清洗效果。同时,主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000之间通过滚珠组件3000连接,可有效降低喷臂10000的高度尺寸,从而节省了洗碗机内部空间,为餐具的摆放留出了更多的空间,提升了洗碗机的餐具容量。
参照图1、图3-图5所示,主喷臂1000可以包括主喷臂本体1100和多个主喷臂连接 套1200,多个主喷臂连接套1200设置在主喷臂本体1100的同一侧,如图1所示,多个主喷臂连接套1200均设置在主喷臂本体1100的上方,且多个主喷臂连接套1200与主喷臂本体1100固定连接,每个副喷臂2000通过一个主喷臂连接套1200实现与主喷臂1000相连,主喷臂连接套1200为中空圆柱结构,因此,通过设置主喷臂连接套1200,保证副喷臂2000与主喷臂1000可发生相对转动。
如图5所示,主喷臂本体1100和多个主喷臂连接套1200内具有连通的主腔室1001,主喷臂本体1100和多个主喷臂连接套1200可以均为中空部件,主喷臂本体1100和主喷臂连接套1200的中空位置共同形成主腔室1001,由此可以保证洗碗机水源的水可以顺利地进入主喷臂1000内,进而水经主喷臂1000上的喷水孔喷射到餐具表面,从而完成清洗餐具的操作,因此通过设置主腔室1001,可以保证主喷臂1000内存有一定量的水,从而保证了主喷臂1000可向餐具喷出水柱,进而保证了主喷臂1000的工作可靠。
如图1、图3-图5所示,主喷臂1000还可以包括主喷臂下连接套1300,主喷臂下连接套1300设置在主喷臂本体1100的下侧,具体地,主喷臂下连接套1300的顶部与主喷臂本体1100的底部固定连接。主喷臂下连接套1300的底部可与洗碗机内胆相连,也可以与喷臂座相连,水源的水可经主喷臂下连接套1300进入主腔室1001内,换言之,主喷臂下连接套1300内的空腔是主腔室1001的一部分,即主喷臂下连接套1300同样为中空件,可以保证水源的水可顺利进入到主腔室1001中。
进一步地,参考图1、图4-图5所示,每个副喷臂2000可以包括:副喷臂本体2100和副喷臂连接套2200,副喷臂连接套2200设置在副喷臂本体2100的朝向主喷臂1000的一侧,也就是说,副喷臂连接套2200位于副喷臂本体2100的下方,且副喷臂连接套2200与副喷臂本体2100固定连接。
在生产制造时,主喷臂本体1100、主喷臂连接套1200和主喷臂下连接套1300可以一体成型,副喷臂本体2100和副喷臂连接套2200也可以一体成型,由此可以简化装配过程,节省装配时间。当然,在一些未示出的实施例中,主喷臂本体1100、主喷臂连接套1200和主喷臂下连接套1300可以是可拆卸连接,副喷臂本体2100和副喷臂连接套2200也可以是可拆卸连接。
如图5所示,副喷臂本体2100和副喷臂连接套2200内具有连通的副腔室2101,副喷臂本体2100和副喷臂连接套2200可以均为中空部件,两个部件的中空位置共同形成副腔室2101,通过设置副腔室2101,可以保证副喷臂2000内存有一定量的水,从而保证了副喷臂2000可向餐具喷出水柱,进而保证了副喷臂2000的工作可靠。副喷臂连接套2200为中空圆柱结构,以保证副喷臂连接套2200与主喷臂连接套1200可相对转动。
如图5所示,副腔室2101还与主腔室1001连通,保证主腔室1001中的水可流入到副 腔室2101中,在具体实施例中,当喷臂10000接通洗碗机水源后,洗碗机水源的水首先通过主喷臂下连接套1300进入到主腔室1001中,此时主腔室1001中的水经喷水孔向外喷出,进而对洗碗机内壁或餐具进行洗净,此时,随着水源的水持续进入到主腔室1001,水源的水逐渐充满主腔室1001,主腔室1001中的水压越来越大,此时,主喷臂本体1100中的水会通过主喷臂连接套1200或副喷臂连接套2200进入到副喷臂本体2100中,也就是说,主腔室1001中的水会进入副腔室2101中,此时,副腔室2101中的水同样向外喷出,进而对洗碗机内壁或餐具进行洗净,因此,通过将副腔室2101与主腔室1001进行连通,可以保证主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000能够正常工作,主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000共同喷水,有利于提高喷水量,从而提升洗净效果。
如图1、图5-图6所示,副喷臂连接套2200与主喷臂连接套1200的连接配合处设置有滚珠组件3000,滚珠组件3000设置在主喷臂连接套1200与副喷臂连接套2200之间,将主喷臂连接套1200与副喷臂连接套2200连接为一体,进而将主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000连接为一体,可以保证主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000连接可靠,又不妨碍主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000的相对转动,从而保证了喷臂10000工作可靠性高。在本申请的一些实施例中,滚珠组件3000至少包括多个滚珠3400,多个滚珠3400可滚动地配合在副喷臂连接套2200与主喷臂连接套1200之间。

例如,在图1、图5-图6所示的实施例中,滚珠组件3000可以包括:外套筒3100、内套筒3200、中间套筒3300以及滚珠3400,外套筒3100、内套筒3200以及中间套筒3300可以均为圆环件,内套筒3200设置在外套筒3100的内部,中间套筒3300设置在外套筒3100与内套筒3200之间,即在滚珠组件3000的从外向内的方向上依次为外套筒3100、中间套筒3300以及内套筒3200,主喷臂连接套1200套设在副喷臂连接套2200的外围,外套筒3100可与主喷臂连接套1200固定连接,内套筒3200可与副喷臂连接套2200固定连接,滚珠3400设置在中间套筒3300中,且滚珠3400可在中间套筒3300中相对于外套筒3100以及内套筒3200转动,从而保证内套筒3200可相对于外套筒3100进行转动,进而可以保证副喷臂2000可相对于主喷臂1000进行转动。
滚珠3400在中间套筒3300的径向上突出中间套筒3300的内周面和外周面,也就是说,滚珠3400的直径大于中间套筒3300的壁厚,滚珠3400有且仅有部分设置在中间套筒3300 中,在具体实施例中,滚珠3400突出中间套筒3300的内周面部分可与内套筒3200的外表面滚动接触,滚珠3400突出中间套筒3300的外周面部分可与外套筒3100的内表面滚动接触,又由于内套筒3200与副喷臂连接套2200固定连接,且外套筒3100与主喷臂连接套1200固定连接,因此,主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000之间通过滚珠组件3000实现间接连接,主喷臂1000、副喷臂2000与滚珠组件3000三者连接的结构简单、稳定。
当副喷臂2000相对于主喷臂1000转动时,滚珠3400发生滚动,从而使内套筒3200与外套筒3100发生相对转动,又因为主喷臂1000与外套筒3100固定连接,副喷臂2000与内套筒3200固定连接,由此实现副喷臂2000与主喷臂1000的相对转动。
具体地,如图2、图6所示,中间套筒3300上设置有多个滚珠孔3310,滚珠3400可转动地安装在滚珠孔3310里,滚珠孔3310为滚珠3400的固定提供了支撑,保证多个滚珠3400的相对位置不变,防止多个滚珠3400之间发生碰撞、挤压,由此可以提高滚珠组件3000的工作稳定性。可选地,滚珠3400的数量与滚珠孔3310的数量相同。
在具体实施例中,滚珠3400的数量为多个,且多个滚珠3400可沿中间套筒3300的周向均匀分布,由此可以提高主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000转动时的平稳性。优选地,滚珠3400的数量为偶数,由此可以保证滚珠组件3000受力均衡,缓解应力集中现象。
可选地,滚珠3400的直径为3mm-8mm,滚珠3400的数量为4个-12个。
通过设置滚珠组件3000,保证了副喷臂2000相对于主喷臂1000转动时的摩擦力较小,有利于提高主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000转动时的平顺性,从而有利于降低洗碗机的噪声。
中间套筒3300的作用主要有三点:(1)通过在中间套筒3300上开设滚珠孔3310,并将滚珠3400安装在滚珠孔3310内,可以固定、限位滚珠3400的位置,防止滚珠3400堆积;(2)起到隔离食物残渣的作用,防止食物小残渣进入滚珠槽,而造成摩擦;(3)起到强化作用,又能隔离副喷臂2000震动,防止喷臂10000晃动严重。
进一步地,参考图1、图6所示,外套筒3100的内周面上设置有适于与滚珠3400配合的外套筒滚珠槽3130,内套筒3200的外周面上设置有适于与滚珠3400配合的内套筒滚珠槽3210,外套筒滚珠槽3130、内套筒滚珠槽3210均为周向环形槽,由此可以保证副喷臂2000相对于主喷臂1000整圈转动的顺畅性,同时,滚珠组件3000为一独立的模块化部件,安装拆卸方便,也减少了副喷臂2000或主喷臂1000的加工工艺成本。滚珠3400与外套筒滚珠槽3130、内套筒滚珠槽3210之间为滚动接触,摩擦力较小。在具体实施例中,外套筒滚珠槽3130、内套筒滚珠槽3210的直径可以与滚珠3400的直径相等,或者也可以略大于滚珠3400的直径,由此可保证滚珠3400与外套筒滚珠槽3130、内套筒滚珠槽3210配合良好。
结合图6所示,在主喷臂连接套1200的中心轴线方向上,外套筒滚珠槽3130、内套筒 滚珠槽3210、滚珠孔3310的位置相对应,滚珠3400部分地设置在滚珠孔3310中。滚珠3400的外侧与外套筒滚珠槽3130接触,滚珠3400的内侧与内套筒滚珠槽3210接触,从而完成外套筒3100与内套筒3200的间接连接,并且,外套筒滚珠槽3130、内套筒滚珠槽3210、滚珠孔3310的位置相对应,可以防止副喷臂2000相对于主喷臂1000转动时,滚珠3400所滑动的轨迹与外套筒滚珠槽3130以及内套筒滚珠槽3210的轨迹不同,从而受到挤压,导致副喷臂2000无法转动。
具体地,外套筒3100可以包括:外套筒周壁3110和外套筒顶壁3120,外套筒顶壁3120设置在外套筒周壁3110的远离主喷臂1000的一端,如图6所示,外套筒顶壁3120设置在外套筒周壁3110的上端,且外套筒顶壁3120沿外套筒周壁3110的径向向内延伸,即外套筒3100的横截面的一半呈倒“L”形,并且外套筒顶壁3120的内径稍大于内套筒3200的外径大小,从而保证外套筒3100与内套筒3200相对转动时,外套筒3100与内套筒3200无接触,进而保证主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000可正常转动,并且外套筒顶壁3120位于滚珠3400的上方,可以为滚珠3400进行遮挡,防止洗碗机中的残渣进入到滚珠组件3000中而阻碍滚珠组件3000的正常工作,并且可以防止滚珠3400从滚珠组件3000中滑出,外套筒滚珠槽3130设置在外套筒周壁3110的内周面上,保证滚珠3400可沿外套筒滚珠槽3130滚动,从而保证滚珠组件3000工作的可靠性高。
具体地,滚珠孔3310设置在中间套筒3300的顶部,滚珠孔3310为优弧孔,且滚珠孔3310的顶部缺口处形成滚珠取放口,滚珠3400经滚珠取放口进入滚珠孔3310或从滚珠孔3310出来,由此方便了滚珠3400在滚珠孔3310内的安装与拆卸。优弧孔是圆心角大于180°且小于360°的孔,由此可以使每个滚珠3400的大部分位于滚珠孔3310内,防止安装完成后,滚珠3400从滚珠孔3310内脱落。在安装滚珠3400时,可以借助外力将滚珠取放口撑开,随后将滚珠3400经滚珠取放口安装在滚珠孔3310内,接着撤去外力,滚珠孔3310的弹性变形随之消失,滚珠孔3310恢复原状,此时滚珠孔3310紧紧包裹滚珠3400,使得滚珠3400在滚珠孔3310内的安装更加牢固、可靠。
进一步地,相邻的两个滚珠孔3310之间设置有弱化槽3320,通过设置弱化槽3320,可使相邻的两个滚珠孔3310之间的刚度较小,由此在安装滚珠3400时,滚珠孔3310容易变形,从而减小了滚珠3400的安装或拆卸难度。
弱化槽3320内设置有弱化槽立柱3330,可选地,弱化槽立柱3330的中心轴线与中间套筒3300的中心轴线平行,由此有利于简化中间套筒3300的加工工艺。通过设置弱化槽立柱3330,可以起到一定的强化作用,从而防止弱化槽3320过度削弱中间套筒3300的刚度,进而有利于提高滚珠组件3000的工作可靠性。
当然,在一些未示出的实施例中,滚珠孔3310还可以设置在中间套筒3300的中间位 置,此时,滚珠孔3310为贯穿中间套筒3300壁厚的圆孔。
可选地,滚珠3400为塑料滚珠3400或不锈钢滚珠3400,因为喷臂10000的工作环境充满了水,喷臂10000长期处于湿热环境,易导致滚珠3400生锈卡滞,塑料滚珠3400或不锈钢滚珠3400的防腐蚀能力较强,可以有效减缓甚至避免滚珠3400生锈。
具体地,外套筒3100安装在主喷臂连接套1200的内部,且主喷臂连接套1200的内径与外套筒3100的外径尺寸相等,优选地,主喷臂连接套1200与外套筒3100之间为过盈配合,从而保证外套筒3100可牢靠地固定在主喷臂连接套1200内,进而可以保证滚珠组件3000与主喷臂1000连接可靠。类似地,内套筒3200嵌套在副喷臂连接套2200上,且副喷臂连接套2200的外径与内套筒3200的内径尺寸相等,优选地,副喷臂连接套2200与内套筒3200之间为过盈配合,从而保证内套筒3200可牢靠地固定在副喷臂连接套2200上,进而可以保证滚珠组件3000与副喷臂2000连接可靠,因此,通过滚珠组件3000分别与主喷臂1000以及副喷臂2000连接,可以保证主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000之间连接可靠,从而保证了主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000工作可靠性高。
基于图6的实施例,本申请的滚珠组件3000可以具有多种变形方式,这些变形方式都落入本申请的保护范围内。下面结合图6对根据本申请实施例的滚珠组件3000的多个变型例进行概述。

例如,在其中第四个未示出的实施例中,滚珠组件3000可以仅包括:滚珠3400、内套筒3200和外套筒3100,即相比上述图6的实施例而言,减少了中间套筒3300,利用滚珠3400直接与内套筒3200和外套筒3100配合,同样可以实现主喷臂连接套1200和副喷臂连接套2200的滚动相连。此时外套筒3100可与主喷臂连接套1200过盈配合,内套筒3200可与副喷臂连接套2200过盈配合。
例如,在其中第五个未示出的实施例中,滚珠组件3000可以仅包括:滚珠3400和中间套筒3300,即相比上述图6的实施例而言,减少了内套筒3200和外套筒3100,利用滚珠3400直接与主喷臂连接套1200和副喷臂连接套2200配合,同样可以实现主喷臂连接套1200和副喷臂连接套2200的滚动相连。此时,主喷臂连接套1200的内周面上设置有适于与滚珠3400配合的主喷臂滚珠槽,副喷臂连接套2200的外周面上设置有适于与滚珠3400配合的副喷臂滚珠槽。
例如,在其中第六个未示出的实施例中,滚珠组件3000可以仅包括:滚珠3400、内套筒3200和中间套筒3300,即相比上述图6的实施例而言,减少了外套筒3100,利用滚珠3400直接与内套筒3200和主喷臂连接套1200配合,同样可以实现主喷臂连接套1200和副喷臂连接套2200的滚动相连。此时,主喷臂连接套1200的内周面上设置有适于与滚珠3400配合的主喷臂滚珠槽。
例如,在其中第七个未示出的实施例中,滚珠组件3000可以仅包括:滚珠3400、外套筒3100和中间套筒3300,即相比上述图6的实施例而言,减少了内套筒3200,利用滚珠3400直接与副喷臂连接套2200和外套筒3100配合,同样可以实现主喷臂连接套1200和副喷臂连接套2200的滚动相连。此时,副喷臂连接套2200的外周面上设置有适于与滚珠3400配合的副喷臂滚珠槽。
当然,副喷臂连接套2200也可以套设在主喷臂连接套1200的外侧,此时,滚珠组件3000的内侧与主喷臂连接套1200接触,滚珠组件3000的外侧与副喷臂连接套2200接触,对于副喷臂连接套2200套设在主喷臂连接套1200内侧的情况与上述七种实施例相似,这里不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,滚珠组件3000的高度为5mm-25mm,一方面,滚珠组件3000应具有一定高度来保证其负载能力满足本申请要求(例如50N),因此滚珠组件3000的高度最低为5mm,另一方面,主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000间距较大时,喷臂10000会与洗碗机内部件干涉且会减少装载量,因此滚珠组件3000的高度最大为25mm,由此可以减小主喷臂连接套1200和副喷臂连接套2200的高度尺寸,也就减小了主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000之间的距离,从而降低了喷臂10000的整体高度尺寸。可选地,滚珠组件3000的高度可以是10mm、15mm、20mm、22mm等。
进一步地,副喷臂2000可以包括:第一喷臂2300和第二喷臂2400,副腔室2101可以包括:第一喷臂2300内的第一腔室2301以及第二喷臂2400内的第二腔室2401,也就是说,在图1、图3-图5所展示的实施例中,副喷臂2000的数量为两个,分别为第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400,第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400设置在主喷臂1000的上方,具体而言,第一喷臂2300可以位于主喷臂1000的左上方,第二喷臂2400可以位于主喷臂1000的右上方,同样地,第一喷臂2300也可以位于主喷臂1000的右上方,第二喷臂2400也可以位于主喷臂1000的左上方,为了描述方便,下面均以第一喷臂2300位于主喷臂1000的左上方,第二喷臂2400位于主喷臂1000的右上方为例来说明第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400的结构。
第一喷臂2300中设有第一腔室2301,第二喷臂2400中设有第二腔室2401,从而保证第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400中均可保留一定量的水,进而保证第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400可正常工作。
需要说明的是,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本申请的描述中,“多个”的含义是至少两个,例如两个,三个等,除非另有明确具体的限定。
如图1所示,主喷臂1000可以包括:主喷臂本体1100和主喷臂第一连接套1210、主喷臂第二连接套1220,主喷臂第一连接套1210、主喷臂第二连接套1220设置在主喷臂本体1100的同一侧,即主喷臂第一连接套1210、主喷臂第二连接套1220均设置在主喷臂本体1100的上方。
在具体实施例中,主喷臂第一连接套1210适于与第一喷臂连接套2310连接,主喷臂第二连接套1220适于与第二喷臂连接套2410连接,从而保证第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400可与主喷臂1000连接,主喷臂本体1100和主喷臂第一连接套1210、主喷臂第二连接套1220内具有连通的主腔室1001,从而保证了主腔室1001中的水可通过主喷臂第一连接套1210、主喷臂第二连接套1220顺利地进入到第一腔室2301以及第二腔室2401中,进而保证了第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400可正常工作。
参考图5所示,第一喷臂2300可以包括:第一喷臂本体2320和第一喷臂连接套2310,第一喷臂连接套2310设置在第一喷臂本体2320的朝向主喷臂1000的一侧,即第一喷臂连接套2310位于第一喷臂本体2320的下方,第一喷臂本体2320和第一喷臂连接套2310内具有连通的第一腔室2301,在具体实施例中,第一喷臂连接套2310可与主喷臂1000左侧的主喷臂第一连接套1210连接,从而保证第一喷臂2300与主喷臂1000连接,并且第一腔室2301与主腔室1001连通,从而保证主腔室1001中的水可顺利地进入到第一腔室2301 中。
第一喷臂连接套2310与主喷臂第一连接套1210的连接配合处设置有滚珠组件3000,从而保证第一喷臂2300相对于主喷臂1000转动时,第一喷臂2300与主喷臂1000之间的转动摩擦为滚动摩擦,可以减少水动力损失,保证第一喷臂2300工作稳定性高。
如图5所示,第二喷臂2400可以包括:第二喷臂本体2420和第二喷臂连接套2410,第二喷臂连接套2410设置在第二喷臂本体2420的朝向主喷臂1000的二侧,即第二喷臂连接套2410位于第二喷臂本体2420的下方,第二喷臂本体2420和第二喷臂连接套2410内具有连通的第二腔室2401,在具体实施例中,第二喷臂连接套2410可与主喷臂1000右侧的主喷臂第二连接套1220连接,从而保证第二喷臂2400与主喷臂1000连接,并且第二腔室2401与主腔室1001连通,从而保证主腔室1001中的水可顺利地进入到第二腔室2401中。
第二喷臂连接套2410与主喷臂第二连接套1220的连接配合处设置有滚珠组件3000,从而保证第二喷臂2400相对于主喷臂1000转动时,第二喷臂2400与主喷臂1000之间的转动摩擦为滚动摩擦,可以减少水动力损失,保证第二喷臂2400工作稳定性高。
优选地,主喷臂第一连接套1210、主喷臂第二连接套1220关于主喷臂下连接套1300对称,从而保证第一喷臂2300和第二喷臂2400关于主喷臂下连接套1300对称,可以保证第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400对主喷臂1000的压力在主喷臂下连接套1300的轴线上对称,从而保证喷臂10000工作时的稳定性,并且对称式的设计不仅美观,而且在装配与拆卸第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400时无左右之分,便于装配与拆卸。
如图1、图3、图5所示,第一喷臂2300上设置有用于驱动第一喷臂2300绕第一方向转动的第一驱动孔2321,第一驱动孔2321与第一腔室2301连通,保证第一腔室2301中的水柱可从第一驱动孔2321中喷出。当第一喷臂2300内部的水柱从第一驱动孔2321喷出时,第一喷臂2300会受到水柱从第一驱动孔2321喷出时的反作用力(即反向驱动力),此时,第一喷臂2300会在反作用力的作用下绕第一方向转动,第一方向与第一驱动孔2321的开孔方向相反。随着水柱不断地从第一驱动孔2321中喷出,第一喷臂2300可持续地进行转动,从第一驱动孔2321喷出的水柱随着第一喷臂2300的转动会洒向四周,从第一喷臂2300喷水孔喷出的水流也进入洗碗机的工作区域,进而二者配合将洗碗机中的餐具或洗碗机内壁的污渍洗净。
第二喷臂2400上设置有用于驱动第二喷臂2400绕第二方向转动的第二驱动孔2421,第二驱动孔2421与第二腔室2401连通,保证第二腔室2401中的水柱可从第二驱动孔2421中喷出。当水柱从第二驱动孔2421喷出时,第二喷臂2400会受到水柱从第二驱动孔2421喷出时的反作用力,此时,第二喷臂2400会在反作用力的作用下绕第二方向转动,第二方 向与第二驱动孔2421的开孔方向相反。随着水源不断地从第二驱动孔2421中喷出,第二喷臂2400可持续地进行转动,并且当第二喷臂2400转动时,将从第二驱动孔2421喷出的水柱洒向四周,从第二喷臂2400喷水孔喷出的水流也进入洗碗机的工作区域,从而第二喷臂2400和第一喷臂2300共同配合将洗碗机中的餐具或洗碗机内壁的污渍洗净。
在第一喷臂本体2320和第二喷臂本体2420的同一端,第一驱动孔2321与第二驱动孔2421的朝向相反,从而保证第一喷臂2300和第二喷臂2400的转动方向相反,也就是说,第一方向与第二方向相反,例如第一喷臂2300可沿逆时针转动,第二喷臂2400可沿顺时针转动,当然在一些未展示的实施例中,第一喷臂2300也可以沿顺时针转动,第二喷臂2400可沿逆时针转动,此时,从第一喷臂2300的第一驱动孔2321以及第二喷臂2400的第二驱动孔2421喷出的水柱沿相反方向喷出,当从第一驱动孔2321和第二驱动孔2421喷出的水柱同时落在餐具或洗碗机内壁上时,由于所喷射的水柱着力到餐具或洗碗机内壁上后清洗的方向不一致,从而使从第一驱动孔2321以及第二驱动孔2421喷出的水柱在餐具或洗碗机内壁上产生揉搓力,进而增强了喷臂10000的洗净效果,可以保证餐具或洗碗机内壁清洗干净。此外,第一喷臂2300和第二喷臂2400反向转动,也可使从第一喷臂2300喷水孔喷出的水和从第二喷臂2400喷水孔喷出的水在餐具上产生揉搓力,从而进一步提升喷臂10000的洗净效果。
主喷臂1000上设置有用于驱动主喷臂1000绕第一方向或第二方向转动的主驱动孔1101,也就是说,通过改变主驱动孔1101的朝向,可以改变主喷臂1000的转动方向,使主喷臂1000沿第一方向转动,或沿第二方向转动,为了描述方便,下面均以沿第一方向转动为例来说明主喷臂1000的工作过程。
当主喷臂1000沿第一方向转动时,在主喷臂1000与第一喷臂2300的同一端,主驱动孔1101与第一驱动孔2321的朝向相同,当主喷臂1000内部的水柱从主驱动孔1101喷出时,主喷臂1000会受到水柱从主驱动孔1101喷出时的反作用力(即反向驱动力),此时,主喷臂1000会在反作用力的作用下绕第一方向转动,第一方向与主驱动孔1101的开孔方向相反。随着水柱不断地从主驱动孔1101中喷出,主喷臂1000可持续地进行转动,从主驱动孔1101喷出的水柱随着主喷臂1000的转动会洒向四周,从主喷臂1000喷水孔喷出的水流也进入洗碗机的工作区域,进而二者配合将洗碗机中的餐具或洗碗机内壁的污渍洗净,通过设置主喷臂1000,可以为副喷臂2000供水,同时主喷臂1000与副喷臂2000共同喷水,可以进一步地加强喷臂10000的清洗能力,可以保证喷臂10000工作的效果好。
具体地,参考图3所示,第一驱动孔2321设置在第一喷臂本体2320的端部,第二驱动孔2421设置在第二喷臂本体2420的端部,主驱动孔1101设置在主喷臂1000的端部,可以保证当水柱从第一驱动孔2321、第二驱动孔2421以及主驱动孔1101中喷出时,力臂 较长,有利于增大第一喷臂2300、第二喷臂2400、主喷臂1000的转动力矩,从而保证第一喷臂2300、第二喷臂2400以及主喷臂1000具有较大的转速,而从第一驱动孔2321、第二驱动孔2421以及主驱动孔1101喷出的水柱落在洗碗机内壁以及餐具的拍打力也就越大,进而有利于提高喷臂10000的清洗效果。
在一些可选的实施例中,第一方向和第二方向可以相同,此时,在第一喷臂本体2320和第二喷臂本体2420的同一端,第一驱动孔2321与第二驱动孔2421的朝向相同,第一喷臂2300和第二喷臂2400同向转动,可以增大喷臂10000的喷水量,同样有利于提升喷臂10000的洗净效果。通过改变第一驱动孔2321与第二驱动孔2421的孔径,可以改变第一驱动孔2321对第一喷臂2300的驱动力以及第二驱动孔2421对第二喷臂2400的驱动力,从而改变第一喷臂2300和第二喷臂2400的转动速度,使第一喷臂2300和第二喷臂2400实现同速同向转动或者异速同向转动。
可选地,第一喷臂本体2320的长度是主喷臂本体1100的长度的0.5-1倍,第二喷臂本体2420的长度是主喷臂本体1100的长度的0.5-1倍,也就是说,第一喷臂本体2320与第二喷臂本体2420的长度均小于或等于主喷臂本体1100的长度,一方面,第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400等高度设置在主喷臂1000的上方,且第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400均与主喷臂1000连接,因此,第一喷臂本体2320与第二喷臂本体2420可设置的最大长度便是与主喷臂本体1100相等,另一方面,第一喷臂本体2320与第二喷臂本体2420设置得较短,由此可以减轻第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400的重量,从而保证第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400可以顺利转动,并且整个喷臂10000的结构比较稳定,不易发生倾翻。此外,第一喷臂本体2320与第二喷臂本体2420的长度小于主喷臂本体1100的长度,可使得第一腔室2301与第二腔室2401中的容积小于主腔室1001的容积,在清洗阶段,大部分水流优先进入主腔室1001中,主腔室1001中的水压较高,可以保证从主喷臂1000喷出的水柱压力较大,主喷臂1000可以顺利地转动。通过将第一喷臂本体2320与第二喷臂本体2420的长度设置得较短,可以减小第一腔室2301与第二腔室2401的容积,从而保证第一腔室2301与第二腔室2401内也有足够高的水压,进而可以保证从第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400喷出的水柱压力较大,以此保证第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400可顺利地转动。
在一些未示出的实施例中,第一喷臂2300与第二喷臂2400相对于主喷臂1000的高度不相等,例如第一喷臂本体2320可以位于第二喷臂本体2420的上方。
根据本申请另一方面实施例的洗涤电器,包括上述的喷臂10000。洗涤电器可以是洗碗机,也可以是果蔬清洗机、医疗清洗机等具有洗涤功能的洗涤电器,其效果与将喷臂10000设置在洗碗机内的效果类似,这里不再一一赘述。
在本说明书的描述中,参考术语“一个实施例”、“一些实施例”、“示例”、“具体示例” 或“一些示例”等的描述意指结合该实施例或示例描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点包含于本申请的至少一个实施例或示例中。在本说明书中,对上述术语的示意性表述不必须针对的是相同的实施例或示例。而且,描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点可以在任何的一个或多个实施例或示例中以合适的方式结合。此外,本领域的技术人员可以将本说明书中描述的不同实施例或示例进行接合和组合。
尽管上面已经示出和描述了本申请的实施例,可以理解的是,上述实施例是示例性的,不能理解为对本申请的限制,本领域的普通技术人员在本申请的范围内可以对上述实施例进行变化、修改、替换和变型。
