Description

洗衣设备和阀组件 技术领域
本发明属于洗衣技术领域，具体提供一种洗衣设备和阀组件。
背景技术
洗衣设备是能够对衣物进行洗涤、漂洗、脱水和/或烘干的衣物处理设备，部分洗衣设备还增添了空气洗、消毒、除菌、增香等功能，洗衣设备的类型有很多种，例如最常见的滚筒洗衣机、波轮洗衣机和洗干一体机。
以滚筒洗衣机为例，现有的滚筒洗衣机包括外筒和内筒，在洗涤时，先向外筒内注入一定量的水，然后内筒带动衣物翻转，实现对衣物的洗涤，其模仿的是棒锤击打衣物的原理设计，在对衣物洗涤后，外筒和与外筒连接的窗垫都是潮湿的，即其内壁上具有残留水，长时间使用很容易滋生细菌，如果只是将门玻璃打开，使外筒和窗垫自然干燥其效果十分有限，且窗垫包含褶皱部位，非常不利于水汽的散出，在用户二次使用滚筒洗衣机时，外筒内壁以及窗垫内的细菌以及脏污很容易对衣物造成二次污染，严重影响其洗涤效果，使得用户体验不佳。洗干一体机在传统的滚筒洗衣机基础上至少增加了烘干系统，使得滚筒洗衣机具有烘干功能，部分机型还可以实现空气洗，然而，烘干系统虽然能够在对衣物洗涤之后通过烘干方式将外筒和窗垫内的残留水进行烘干，但是洗干一体机的烘干系统采用的都是内循环的方式，这使得水汽仍然还是在烘干风道和外筒间循环，且洗干一体机的除湿主要是依靠烘干系统的除湿装置进行除湿，这使得如果在烘干程序结束后进一步去除外筒 和窗垫内的残留水需要烘干系统保持运行，这会严重增加洗衣机的能耗，非常不利于节能。
在专利号为201922216894.9的专利文献中公开了一种滚筒洗衣机，其包括带有风机的进风管路和出风管路，进风管路和出风管路均与外筒连通，流动的空气能够进入外筒中，并对外筒内表面与内筒外表面风干，流动的空气再从出风管路中排出滚筒洗衣机的机体，即通过外界空气对外筒内进行风干，使得避免了产生污垢以及细菌的滋生。然而，这种滚筒洗衣机无法保证外界的脏污不进入到滚筒洗衣机内，仍然具有一定的安全隐患。
在专利号为201810106076.0的专利文献中公开了一种通风口结构和洗衣机，通风口结构包括通风口和转动体，转动体转动的设置于通风口处，转动体沿径向设置有贯穿的第一连接孔，转动体转动时第一连接孔可以与通风口连通或转动体遮挡通风口，从而使第一连接孔选择性地与通风口连通，实现通过转动体的转动打开或关闭通风口的目的，通风口结构可以设置在洗衣机机壳的前面板上，或者同时设置在后通风口中。然而，当通风口结构仅设置在前面板上时，外界脏污容易从后通风口进入到滚筒洗衣机中，如果同时在后通风口中也设置通风口结构，那么需要将两个通风口结构分别关闭时才能够实现滚筒洗衣机与外界的完全阻隔，非常不利于产品结构的布置，且严重增加了产品设计的复杂度。
因此，本领域需要一种新的洗衣设备和阀组件来解决上述问题。
发明内容
为了解决现有技术中的上述问题，即为了解决现有洗衣设备在实现外界空气对外筒进行风干时结构复杂，不利于产品结构的简化设 计的问题，本发明提供了一种洗衣设备，所述洗衣设备包括筒组件、阀组件和风机，所述阀组件包括阻隔机构以及具有进风腔和出风腔的阀壳，所述进风腔和所述出风腔彼此独立设置，所述进风腔上连通有将外界与所述筒组件连通的进风管路，所述出风腔上连通有将外界与所述筒组件连通的出风管路，所述风机设置在所述进风管路和/或所述出风管路上，所述阻隔机构设置为能够同时将所述进风管路和所述出风管路阻隔。
在上述洗衣设备的优选技术方案中，所述阻隔机构包括驱动电机、第一阻隔件和第二阻隔件，所述驱动电机的输出轴同时与所述第一阻隔件以及所述第二阻隔件连接，所述第一阻隔件设置在所述进风腔内，所述第二阻隔件设置在所述出风腔内，所述驱动电机能够驱动所述第一阻隔件和所述第二阻隔件同时运动以将所述进风腔和所述出风腔阻隔。
在上述洗衣设备的优选技术方案中，所述驱动电机与传动轴连接，所述第一阻隔件为第一阻隔板，所述第二阻隔件为第二阻隔板，所述第一阻隔板和所述第二阻隔板均设置在所述传动轴上，所述驱动电机能够驱动所述传动轴转动以使所述第一阻隔板和所述第二阻隔板同时转动。
在上述洗衣设备的优选技术方案中，所述传动轴从所述阀壳的一侧从外部依次穿过所述出风腔和所述进风腔，所述传动轴转动地设置在将所述进风腔和所述出风腔隔开的间隔板上。
在上述洗衣设备的优选技术方案中，所述进风管路包括第一进风管和第二进风管，所述第一进风管将所述进风腔的进风口与外界连通，所述第二进风管将所述进风腔的出风口与所述筒组件连通。
在上述洗衣设备的优选技术方案中，所述风机设置在所述第一进风管上。
在上述洗衣设备的优选技术方案中，所述出风管路包括第一出风管和第二出风管，所述第一出风管将所述筒组件与所述出风腔的进风口连通，所述第二出风管将所述出风腔的出风口与外界连通。
在上述洗衣设备的优选技术方案中，所述洗衣设备的箱体前面板上设置有与外界连通的开口，所述第二出风管与所述开口连通。
在上述洗衣设备的优选技术方案中，所述筒组件包括相连的外筒和窗垫，所述进风管路与所述窗垫连通，所述出风管路与所述外筒连通，所述进风管路与所述窗垫连通的连通口在所述窗垫上呈切向设置。
在另一方面，本发明还提供了一种阀组件，所述阀组件包括阻隔机构以及具有进风腔和出风腔的阀壳，所述进风腔和所述出风腔彼此独立设置，所述阻隔机构设置为能够同时将所述进风腔和所述出风腔阻隔。
在本发明的优选技术方案中，在洗衣设备结束洗衣程序后，可以通过启动风机来使外界空气进入到进风管路中，然后再进入到筒组件中实现对筒组件内部的风干，最终由出风管路中排出，避免筒组件内部由于残留水而滋生细菌，在洗衣设备结束风干程序后，阻隔机构可以同时将进风管路和出风管路阻隔，从而使得筒组件完全与外界阻隔，不仅能够避免外界的灰尘等进入到筒组件中，而且还能够在洗衣设备洗涤过程中避免泡沫溢出到洗衣设备外，即，通过一个阻隔机构就能够实现上述阻隔外界灰尘进入以及防止泡沫溢出的作用，此外，阻隔机构可以同时对进风管路和出风管路进行阻隔切断，结构简单，利于产品的整体结构布置，降低产品设计的复杂度。
进一步地，通过驱动电机能够驱动第一阻隔件阻隔进风腔，同时驱动第二阻隔件阻隔出风腔，进而实现进风管路以及出风管路的同时阻隔，即通过驱动电机作为驱动源来实现进风管路以及出风管路的同 时阻隔，整体结构简单，利于产品的整体结构布置，降低产品设计的复杂度。
进一步地，通过驱动电机能够驱动传动轴转动进而实现第一阻隔板和第二阻隔板的转动，从而实现进风腔和出风腔的同时阻隔，通过这样的设置，不仅能够实现进风管路以及出风管路的同时阻隔，而且采用转动驱动方式能够尽可能减小阀组件需要占用的空间，更有利于洗衣设备整体空间结构的布局设计，且结构简单，易于制造。
进一步地，驱动电机设置在阀壳外面，使得传动轴伸进阀壳内来驱动第一阻隔板和第二阻隔板转动，通过这样的设置，使得为驱动电机的结构安装提供结构基础，且驱动电机设置在阀壳外面不会影响空气的流动，且驱动电机也无被潮湿空气覆盖的安全隐患，进一步提高洗衣设备的安全性。
进一步地，进风管路与窗垫连通，出风管路与外筒连通，使得外界空气能够从窗垫进入，先对窗垫进行风干，然后再对外筒进行风干，最后潮湿空气经由出风管路排出，使得外筒和窗垫能够被同时风干，避免在用户对衣物进行二次清洗时造成二次污染，影响用户的使用体验。
进一步地，进风管路与窗垫连通的连通口在窗垫上呈切向设置能够保证外界空气进入窗垫时是呈切向进入到窗垫中的，以便在窗垫内形成环形的气流，有利于对窗垫进行无死角地风干，提高风干效果。

具体实施方式
首先，本领域技术人员应当理解的是，这些实施方式仅仅用于解释本发明的技术原理，并非旨在限制本发明的保护范围。例如，虽然本发明是结合滚筒洗衣机来阐述说明的，但是，本发明的技术原理显然还适用于洗干一体机，或者是复式衣物处理设备，这些应用对象的调整或改变不构成对本发明的限制，均应该限定在本发明的保护范围之内。
其次，本发明的阀组件虽然是结合滚筒洗衣机中的具体结构来阐述说明的是，但是该阀组件还可以应用到其他领域，例如空调、数控机床和食品加工设备等，这些应用对象的调整或改变不构成对本发明的限制，均应该限定在本发明的保护范围之内。
需要说明的是，在本发明的描述中，术语“中”、“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”、“横”、“内”、“外”等指示的方向或位置关系的术语是基于附图所示的方向或位置关系，这仅仅是为了便于描述，而不是指示或暗示所述装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作，因此不能理解为对本发明的限制。此外，术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”仅用于描述目的，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。
此外，还需要说明的是，在本发明的描述中，除非另有明确的规定和限定，术语“设置”、“安装”、“连接”、“连通”应做广义理解，例如，可以是固定连接，也可以是可拆卸连接，或一体地连接；可以是直接相连，也可以通过中间媒介间接相连，可以是两个元件内部的连通。对于本领域技术人员而言，可根据具体情况理解上述术语在本发明中的具体含义。
基于背景技术指出的现有滚筒洗衣机在实现外界空气对外筒进行风干时结构复杂，不利于产品结构的简化设计的问题，本发明提供了一种洗衣设备，旨在能够实现同时将进风管路和出风管路阻隔，进而实现在风干程序结束后阻隔外界灰尘进入以及在对衣物进行洗涤的过程中防止泡沫溢出的双重阻隔作用，结构简单，利于产品的整体结构布置，降低产品设计的复杂度。
具体地，如图1和2所示，本发明的滚筒洗衣机包括箱体1和设置在箱体1内的筒组件，筒组件包括内筒2、外筒3和窗垫4，内筒2转动地设置在外筒3中，窗垫4将外筒3的开口与箱体1的门体开口连接，在顶开式滚筒洗衣机中，外筒3和内筒2同轴且均横向设置，窗垫4将外筒3的上开口与箱体1顶部的门体开口连接，在前开式滚筒洗衣机中，外筒3和内筒2同轴且均横向设置，窗垫4将外筒3的前开口与箱体1前部的门体开口连接，图1所示的即为前开式滚筒洗衣机的结构示意图。本领域技术人员可以理解的是，内筒2可以通过直驱电机直接驱动转动，还可以通过电机带动皮带进而驱动内筒2转动。外筒3用于容纳洗涤水，内筒2用于使衣物翻转，窗垫4来保证外筒3和箱体1之间的密封。
需要说明的是，滚筒洗衣机的常规洗衣程序包括洗涤过程、漂洗过程、脱水过程和排水过程，在一些滚筒洗衣机中，洗衣程序可能省略脱水过程，这种对滚筒洗衣机常规洗衣程序的调整或改变不构成对本发明的限制，均应限定在本发明的保护范围之内，其中，洗涤过程由于洗涤剂/洗衣粉的存在会产生大量的泡沫，排水过程结束后，外筒3的内表面和窗垫4的内表面都会有残留水。
继续参见图1和3，本发明的滚筒洗衣机还包括阀组件5和风机6，阀组件5包括阻隔机构以及具有进风腔511和出风腔512的阀壳51，进风腔511和出风腔512彼此独立设置，进风腔511上连通有将外 界与筒组件连通的进风管路，出风腔512上连通有将外界与筒组件连通的出风管路，风机6设置在进风管路和/或出风管路上，阻隔机构设置为能够同时将进风管路和出风管路阻隔。进风腔511具有进风口511a和出风口511b，出风腔512也具有进风口512a和出风口512b。其中，进风腔511上连通有将外界与筒组件连通的进风管路可以是外界直接与进风腔511的进风口511a连通，然后进风腔511的出风口511b通过进风管路与筒组件连通，或者是进风管路具有两段，一段将外界与进风腔511的进风口511a连通，另一段将进风腔511的出风口511b与筒组件连通。同理，出风腔512上连通有将外界与筒组件连通的出风管路可以是出风腔512的出风口512b直接与外界连通，然后筒组件通过出风管路与出风腔512的进风口512a连通，或者是出风管路具有两段，一段将筒组件与出风腔512的进风口512a连通，另一段将出风腔512的出风口512b与外界连通。风机6可以设置在进风管路，或者设置在出风管路上，又或者进风管路和出风管路都设置有风机6，只要通过风机6的作用能够使进风管路引入空气，在对筒组件风干完毕之后出风管路能够送出潮湿空气即可。在一种可能的情形中，继续参见图1和3，进风管路包括第一进风管7和第二进风管8，第一进风管7将进风腔511的进风口511a与外界连通，第二进风管8将进风腔511的出风口511b与筒组件连通，出风管路包括第一出风管9和第二出风管10，第一出风管9将筒组件与出风腔512的进风口512a连通，第二出风管10将出风腔512的出风口512b与外界连通，在滚筒洗衣机结束洗衣程序后，滚筒洗衣机的控制器可以向风机6发出信号，启动风机6，风机6转动使得空气依次经由第一进风管7、进风腔511和第二进风管8进入到筒组件中，实现对筒组件的风干，然后潮湿空气再依次经由第一出风管9、出风腔512和第二出风管10排出，从而使得潮湿空气被排出到外界。
在上述中，风机6优选地设置在第一进风管7上，从而使得风机6启动后马上就能够将空气由第一进风管7吸入，在滚筒洗衣机洗涤过程中产生的泡沫也会在进风腔511内被阻隔，不会影响风机6的运行。在其他例子中，风机6还可以设置在第二出风管10上，即出风腔512的下游侧，在滚筒洗衣机洗涤过程中产生的泡沫也会在出风腔512内被阻隔，不会影响风机6的运行。当然，在能够保证密封性的前提下，或者在能够控制泡沫产生量的前提下，风机6也可以设置在第二进风管8和/或第一出风管9上，空气从风机6的一侧向另一侧吹动可以通过风机6的叶片设计实现(如图1所示为从风机6的左侧向右侧引入空气)，在此就不再赘述。上述风机6的具体设置位置并不构成对本发明的限制，均应限定在本发明的保护范围之内。此外，在上述中，继续参见图2，还可以在滚筒洗衣机的箱体前面板上设置与外界连通的开口10a，然后将第二出风管10与开口10a连通，即潮湿空气能够经由前面板上的这个开口10a排出到外界，在其他例子中，还可以将第二出风管10的出口直接穿出该开口10a，即该开口10a仅作为第二出风管10的安装口，潮湿空气直接经过第二出风管10的出口排出到外界。在通过箱体前面板上的开口10a将潮湿空气引出到外界的情形下，该开口10a上可以设置有装饰罩，装饰罩可以设置为格栅状，或者隐藏式结构。在其他例子中，该开口10a也不限于设置在箱体前面板上，也可以设置在左右侧面板上，甚至可以设置在控制面板或者安装显示屏的控制台上，这种开口10a具体设置位置的调整或改变都应限制在本发明的保护范围之内。另外，在一种可能的情形中，风机6可以设置在第一进风管7的入口处，且第一进风管7的入口位于滚筒洗衣机的机壳内，在其他例子，第一进风管7的入口可以位于机壳外，例如机壳后面板的外侧。
优选地，阻隔机构包括驱动电机52、第一阻隔件和第二阻隔件，驱动电机52的输出轴同时与第一阻隔件以及第二阻隔件连接，第 一阻隔件设置在进风腔511内，第二阻隔件设置在出风腔512内，驱动电机52能够驱动第一阻隔件和第二阻隔件同时运动以将进风腔511和出风腔512阻隔。驱动电机52可以为最终输出转动力的转动电机，也可以为最终输出直线驱动力的直线电机。例如在一种优选的情形中，驱动电机52与传动轴连接，第一阻隔件为第一阻隔板53，第二阻隔件为第二阻隔板54，第一阻隔板53和第二阻隔板54均设置在传动轴上，驱动电机52能够驱动传动轴转动以使第一阻隔板53和第二阻隔板54同时转动。即，驱动电机52为转动电机，且驱动电机52能够驱动传动轴转动，传动轴同时驱动第一阻隔板53和第二阻隔板54转动，进风腔511的进风口511a和出风口511b可以分别位于进风腔511的相对侧，也可以分别位于进风腔511的相邻侧(图3中所示的为相邻侧)，同理，出风腔512的进风口512a和出风口512b可以分别位于出风腔512的相对侧，也可以分别位于出风腔512的相邻侧(图3中所示的为相邻侧)。其中，根据进风腔511的进出风口以及出风腔512的进出风口的各自设置位置，可以灵活地设置第一阻隔板53和第二阻隔板54各自的阻隔方式，在一种优选的情形中，进风腔511的出风口511b和出风腔512的进风口512a设置在阀壳51的同一侧，即进风腔511的出风口511b和出风腔512的进风口512a位于相同的一侧，驱动电机52驱动传动轴转动使得第一阻隔板53能够将进风腔511的出风口511b覆盖进而实现进风管路的阻隔，同时使得第二阻隔板54能够将出风腔512的进风口512a覆盖进而实现出风管路的阻隔，并且由于覆盖的分别是进风腔511的出风口511b以及出风腔512的进风口512a，使得在滚筒洗衣机洗涤过程中即便产生泡沫也不会进入到进风腔511以及出风腔512内，并且进一步优选地，第一阻隔板53朝向进风腔511的出风口511b的一侧以及第二阻隔板54朝向出风腔512的进风口512a的一侧都设置有密封垫，使得在第一阻隔板53覆盖进风腔511的出风口511b时能够实现密封，以及在第二阻隔板54 覆盖出风腔512的进风口512a时也能够实现密封。在其他例子中，第一阻隔板53上的密封垫可以替换为能够对应于进风腔511的出风口511b形状的密封圈，第二阻隔板54上的密封垫可以替换为能够对应于出风腔512的进风口512a形状的密封圈。
优选地，传动轴从阀壳51的一侧从外部依次穿过出风腔512和进风腔511，传动轴转动地设置在将进风腔511和出风腔512隔开的间隔板上。在一种可能的情形中，阀壳51形成出风腔512的一侧形成有第一通孔，间隔板上形成有第二通孔，传动轴依次穿过第一通孔和第二通孔，传动轴的位于第一通孔和第二通孔之间的部分(即位于出风腔512内的部分)与第二阻隔板54连接，传动轴穿出第二通孔的部分(即位于进风腔511的部分)与第一阻隔板53连接。此外，传动轴可以为与第一阻隔板53的边沿连接并与第二阻隔板54的边沿连接，从而传动轴的转动实现第一阻隔板53和第二阻隔板54的同步摆转。另外，阀壳51设置第一通孔的相对侧还可以设置第三通孔，传动轴的伸出端可以位于第三通孔内，通过这样的设置，使得可以通过第一通孔、第二通孔以及第三通孔共同对传动轴进行支撑，提高支撑的稳定性。驱动电机52位于阀壳51的外侧可以通过安装支架连接于滚筒洗衣机的箱体1上，或者驱动电机52直接焊接在滚筒洗衣机的箱体1上。在其他例子中，传动轴还可以从阀壳51的一侧从外部依次穿过进风腔511和出风腔512。
替代地，驱动电机52为直线电机，第一阻隔件为第一阻隔板，第二阻隔件为第二阻隔板，阀壳51上且同一侧分别形成有与进风腔511连通的第一插槽以及与出风腔512连通的第二插槽，第一阻隔板与第一插槽插接配合，第二阻隔板与第二插槽插接配合，直线电机能够驱动第一阻隔板和第二阻隔板同步直线移动，在需要将进风腔511以及出风腔512阻隔时，直线电机驱动第一阻隔板从第一插槽插进进风腔511，进而通过第一阻隔板使进风腔511的进风口511a和出风口511b彼此阻隔， 同时驱动第二阻隔板从第二插槽插进出风腔512，进而通过第二阻隔板使出风腔512的进风口512a和出风口512b彼此阻隔。
优选地，进风管路与窗垫4连通，出风管路与外筒3连通(出风管路优选地与外筒3侧壁靠后的部分连通，以便增加对外筒3的风干面积)，即，可以同时对窗垫4和外筒3进行风干，且在滚筒洗衣机洗衣结束后即便用户忘记取出衣物也可以通过打开风机6来对窗垫4和外筒3进行风干，防止衣物产生异味。进一步优选地，如图4所示，进风管路与窗垫4连通的连通口40a在窗垫4上呈切向设置，通过这样的设置，使得进风管路进入到窗垫4中的风是从切向进入的，可以在窗垫4中形成环形气流，进而实现对窗垫4的风干，且该连通口40a优选地设置在窗垫4的褶皱部，以便对窗垫4的褶皱部进行风干。进风管路还可以形成多个支路，例如在图1所示的滚筒洗衣机的第二进风管8的末段形成多个支路，通过多个支路分别与位于窗垫4上的多个连通口40a连通，支路与连通口40a一一对应，多个连通口40a沿窗垫4的圆周方向等间距或者不等间距设置，每个连通口40a均在窗垫4上呈相同的切向设置，上述相同的切向设置指的是从窗垫4的正前方观察(即正好能够看到窗垫4的环状结构)，所有连通口40a的朝向均为沿窗垫4圆周的顺时针切线方向或者均为沿窗垫4圆周的逆时针切线方向，以便在窗垫4内形成顺时针的环形气流或者逆时针的环形气流，从而无死角地对窗垫4的各个部分进行风干，进一步提高风干效果。
至此，已经结合附图所示的优选实施方式描述了本发明的技术方案，但是，本领域技术人员容易理解的是，本发明的保护范围显然不局限于这些具体实施方式。在不偏离本发明的原理的前提下，本领域技术人员可以对相关技术特征作出等同的更改或替换，这些更改或替换之后的技术方案都将落入本发明的保护范围之内。
