Description

一种衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元及衣物处理设备 技术领域
本发明涉及家电领域，具体地，涉及一种衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元及衣物处理设备。
背景技术
洗衣机中通常会设置锁定洗涤筒的定位单元，在洗衣机停转后、洗涤筒被定位单元锁定定位，避免洗衣机停止运行后洗涤筒转动。目前的定位单元通常包括可伸缩的定位杆，洗涤筒上固定定位槽，通过定位杆伸入定位槽内实现对洗涤筒的锁定定位。但定位单元中往往缺少检测装置，即无法保证定位槽位于设定的锁定位置时才使定位杆伸出。当定位槽未位于设定的锁定位置时，定位杆伸出将可能导致定位杆碰触到洗涤筒的其他位置结构，可能导致定位杆、或者洗涤筒上的结构受损。
洗衣机中除定位单元外还通常包括门锁单元，门锁单元用以锁定或解锁机门。实际在使用洗衣机时，洗涤筒被锁定在设定的位置后才可进行解锁机门的操作，即实际上锁定洗涤筒与解锁机门的动作之间存在逻辑关系。而目前洗衣机中门锁单元与洗涤筒的定位单元之间缺少连接关系，故无法通过门锁单元与定位单元的连通、控制门锁单元与定位单元实现锁定洗涤筒与解锁机门动作之间的逻辑关系。
综上所述，目前缺少一种衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元，能够保证洗涤筒被准确地锁定在预设的位置。并且目前需要一种衣物处理设备，可实现定位单元与门锁单元之间的连接，使门锁单元与定位单元实现锁定洗涤筒与解锁机门之间的逻辑关系。
鉴于以上问题，特提出本发明。
发明内容
本发明的发明目的在于提供一种衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元，可准确保证洗涤筒锁定定位在预设的位置。本发明的发明目的还在于提供一种衣物处理设备，可实现洗涤筒被锁定在预设位置后才控制机门解锁的动作逻辑关系。
本发明提供了一种衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的对衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元，包括定位装置，设置可向洗涤筒伸缩的定位杆；定位槽，设于洗涤筒上，与伸出的定位杆相插接定位；检测装置，检测定位槽所处位置；控制装置，控制定位杆的伸缩；检测装置与控制装置之间信号通讯相连，检测装置检测定位槽位于设定的锁定位置，控制装置控制定位杆伸出至插入定位槽内。本发明提供的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元，可保证洗涤筒的定位槽停在预设的位置后才控制定位杆对洗涤筒进行锁定，进而保证洗涤筒准确地锁定在预设的位置。
进一步地，检测装置包括设置在定位槽内的磁铁，检测磁铁位置的霍尔传感器；检测装置的霍尔传感器可与控制装置之间信号连通。检测装置通过磁铁与霍尔传感器检测定位槽的位置。
进一步地，定位装置包括驱动定位杆伸出的电机；控制装置包括控制定位杆伸出的开关，控制电机转速的调速器；检测装置检测定位槽位于设定的锁定位置，检测装置向控制装置发射信号，控制装置的开关控制定位杆伸出，控制装置的调速器调节定位杆伸出过程中电机的速度。通过开关的设置，可实现控制定位杆伸出；通过调速器的设置，可实现控制定位杆插接过程中的速度。
进一步地，洗涤筒与机门相对的筒底外侧设置定位槽，定位装置设置在洗涤筒外套设的外筒底端、与定位槽相对的位置。本发明将定位装置设置在洗涤筒的筒底，利用洗涤筒筒底的空余空间设置定位装置。
进一步地，洗涤筒的筒底包括三角支撑结构，定位槽设置在三角支撑结构上。由于定位杆需要插接入定位槽内，导致定位槽需要满足一定的强度要求。将定位槽固定在强度较大的三角支撑结构上，保证了定位槽的强度。
进一步地，洗涤筒的筒底外侧固定定位环，定位环固定在三角支撑结构上，或者定位环与三角形支撑结构一体设置；定位环靠近外筒的端部设置向其内部凹陷的限位槽，定位杆可伸向定位环、限位内嵌在限位槽内；限位槽与三角支撑结构的定位槽相对的位置设置插接槽，定位杆通过定位槽插接入插接槽内。通过定位环的设置可对定位杆进行限位。
进一步地，限位槽一端具有供定位杆伸入的开口，限位槽具有与开口相对的、向内凹陷的底端面；底端面上设置检测元件，检测元件可检测定位杆与底端面是否相接触；检测元件检测定位杆与底端面相接触，控制装置的调速器控制电机降低转速。通过检测元件，可检测到定位杆是否接触底端面，即检测定位杆是否即将开始插接入插接槽；在检测到定位杆即将插接入插接槽内时，控制电机降速、保证定位杆低速、稳定地插接入插接槽内。
进一步地，检测装置包括检测定位杆插接入定位环的插接槽内的定位杆检测元件。通过定位杆检测元件可检测定位杆是否插接入插接槽内，进而可对定位杆是否锁定洗涤筒进行检测。
本发明还提供了一种衣物处理设备，包括如上所述的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元；还包括门锁单元，设置在洗涤筒的前端部机门处，锁定或解锁机门；衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元、门锁单元之间通过控制信号和/或连接装置相连接。本发明提供的衣物处理设备，衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元和门锁单元分设在洗涤筒的两端，避免定位单元、门锁单元设置在一起占用的空间较大。并且本发明提供的衣物处理设备中，衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定 位单元、门锁单元之间通过信号和/或连接装置相连接，使得衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元、门锁单元可实现先锁定洗涤筒后可对机门进行解锁的逻辑顺序。
进一步地，衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元、门锁单元之间的具体连接方式可为：衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元中的检测装置检测到定位杆插接入插接槽内，衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元向门锁单元发送信号，门锁单元控制解锁机门；或者连接装置包括与插接入定位槽和/或插接槽内的定位杆相联动的连杆，连杆与门锁单元的解锁机门的结构相触发连接。
采用上述技术方案，本发明与现有技术相比具有以下有益效果：
1)本发明提供的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元，检测定位槽位于预设的锁定位置后才控制定位杆插接入定位槽内，进而可实现将洗涤筒准确地锁定在预设的位置。并且本发明的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元通过磁铁与霍尔传感器相互感应检测定位槽的位置，通过较常见的磁体、霍尔传感器便可准确实现对定位槽的定位。
2)本发明的控制装置中还包括开关、调速器，进而可实现对定位杆是否运动、定位杆运动过程中的速度的控制。这样不仅可保证洗涤筒停转到预设的位置后才进行对洗涤筒的锁定，并且可以调整洗涤筒锁定过程中定位杆的移动速度。
3)本发明的对衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元被布置在洗涤筒上空间较大的外筒底端，设置位置比较合理。并且通常洗涤筒的机门端需要设置门锁单元，这样将定位单元设置在与机门相对的外筒的底端，门锁单元、定位单元分设在洗涤筒的两端上，避免两者相邻设置时占用的空间较大、导致空间紧张的情况。
4)本发明将定位槽设置在洗涤筒底的三角支撑结构上，三角支撑结构的强度较高，故可保证定位槽的强度。并且本发明在三角支撑结构处设置定位环，定位环中设置限位槽，使得通过限位槽限定定位杆的运动轨迹，保证定位杆按照设定的轨迹对洗涤筒进行锁定。本发明还在限位槽的底端面上设置检测元件，检测元件可检测定位杆是否接触底端面，即检测定位杆是否开始插接入插接槽内；在检测到定位杆开始向插接槽内插接时，降低定位单元的电机15的转速，进而保证定位杆稳定地插接入插接槽内。
5)本发明提供的衣物处理设备，衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元、门锁单元之间通过控制信号和/或连接装置相连接。使得衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元、门锁单元可实现先锁定洗涤筒而后解锁机门的逻辑动作顺序。

具体实施方式
实施例1
本实施例提供了一种衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元，所述衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元用以定位锁定洗涤筒。比如，当洗衣机完成洗涤后，需要打开机门取出衣物的过程中，衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元可控制洗涤筒锁定定位在预设的位置。衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元中通常包括定位装置1，定位装置1的内部设置可伸缩的定位杆2，定位杆2可伸出与洗涤筒上固定的定位槽3相插接定位。即通过定位杆2伸出与洗涤筒上的定位槽3的插接配合，使得洗涤筒被定位锁定。
而目前的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元中缺乏检测装置，无法保证洗涤筒的定位槽3移动至设定的锁定位置后，才控制定位杆2伸入定位槽3内。定位杆2往往只会沿直线运动，当洗涤筒的定位槽3未移动至设定的锁定位置时，对衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元控制定位杆2伸出的话，定位杆2将会与洗涤筒壁相抵触，可能导致定位杆2和/或洗涤筒壁被损伤。
故本实施例提供的对衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元，内部包括检测装置，控制定位杆2移动的控制装置，并且检测装置与控制装置之间信号通讯连通、即检测装置与控制装置可相通信。当检测装置检测到洗涤筒停转到设定的位置后才对洗涤筒进行锁定。定位槽3将会随洗涤筒共同旋转，一旦洗涤筒停转，定位槽3将会随洗涤筒停止在某位置处。如果洗涤筒转动至预设的位置停 转时，定位槽3也会位于设定的锁定位置。此时，利用检测装置检测定位槽3的位置，便可判断洗涤筒是否位于设定的锁定位置。本实施例根据上述的原理，将检测装置设置为检测定位槽3所处位置的装置，检测装置向控制装置发送信号，此时，控制装置控制定位杆2插接入定位槽3内。即本实施例的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元中，通过检测装置与控制装置的设置，使得当定位槽3位于设定的锁定位置时，才控制定位杆2伸入，保证了定位杆2可正常伸入定位槽3内。
具体如图2中所示，检测装置包括设置在定位槽3内的磁铁4，检测磁铁4位置的霍尔传感器。霍尔传感器设置在固定的位置，比如霍尔传感器可固定在洗衣机的外壳和/或外筒14上。当定位槽3随洗涤筒一起旋转时，定位槽3中的磁铁4的位置发生变化，霍尔传感器可通过检测磁体4位置的变化而得出定位槽3所处的位置，进而判断定位槽3是否移动至设定的锁定位置。检测装置的霍尔传感器可与控制装置之间信号通讯连通，即控制装置可通过霍尔传感器检测得出定位槽3是否位于设定的锁定位置。本实施例中检测装置、控制装置的设置，使得当定位槽3随洗涤筒移动至预设的锁定位置时，定位杆2才会对应伸出并插接入定位槽3中，保证了定位杆2正常地插接入定位槽3中、并且保证洗涤筒被锁定在预设的位置。
实施例2
本实施例在实施例1的基础上，提供了一种衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元。本实施例提供的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元具有与实施例1的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元相同的结构。本实施例提供的对衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元将定位槽3设置在洗涤筒与机门相对的底端。洗涤筒的前端一般设置机门，机门处通常需要设置用以锁定和解锁机门的门锁单元，导致 机门处的空间比较紧张，故本实施例提出将定位槽3设置在洗涤筒与机门相对的底端，并将定位装置1设置在洗涤筒外端套设的外筒14的底端部、与洗涤筒上设置的定位槽3相对的位置，如图1、2中所示。
具体地，如图3、4中所示，洗涤筒的底端包括类似于三角形的三角支撑结构5，即洗涤筒的底端由三角支撑结构5组成，此三角支撑结构5用以支撑洗涤筒，故三角支撑结构5的强度较高，本实施例提出将定位装置1固定在三角支撑结构5上，可利用强度较高的三角支撑结构5保证定位装置1的稳定固定。如图3、4中所示，定位槽3设置在三角支撑结构5上，定位装置1设置在外筒14上，与三角支撑结构5的定位槽3相对的位置。
如图3、4中所示，三角支撑结构5处还设置定位环7，定位环7可与三角支撑结构5一体设置，或者定位环7可固定在三角支撑结构5上。三角支撑结构5的内端面6上固定定位环7，可利用定位环7限定定位杆2的运动轨迹。如本实施例中，在定位环7上设置限位槽8，使得定位杆2在伸出定位的过程中被限定在限位槽8内移动。具体地，定位环7与所述三角支撑结构5的内端面6相固定的端部设置向定位环7内部凹陷的限位槽8，即定位环7靠近外筒14的端部设置限位槽8,定位杆2可伸向定位环7、限位内嵌在限位槽8内。定位环7为圆环形结构，限位槽8为设置在定位环7圆环形结构的径向中部的、同轴的圆环形槽。由于洗涤筒通常沿其圆周的轴心转动的，定位杆2沿直线伸缩的过程中，定位杆2相对于洗涤筒的运动轨迹同样为圆周，故将限位槽8设置为圆环形的槽，使定位杆2在运动的过程中均可内嵌在限位槽8内。并且限位槽8与三角支撑结构5的定位槽3相对的位置设置插接槽9，定位杆2通过定位槽3插接入插接槽9内。故如图中所示，定位杆2在插接入插接槽9内时，定位杆2先被限位槽8限定位置，定位杆2伸入限位槽8内并可接触限位槽8的向内凹 陷的内端面，而后由限位槽8内滑入插接槽9内。即通过定位环7的设置，保证定位杆2的定位过程中的运动轨迹，保证定位杆2最终可伸入插接槽9内准确实现定位。
本实施例提供的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元设置在洗涤筒底端的方案，可充分利用洗涤筒底端的空间。衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元设置的位置也比较合适，设置在强度较强的三角支撑结构5上；并且通过设置定位环7，使得定位单元的定位杆2可按需要的轨迹进行定位。
实施例3
本实施例在上述实施例的基础上，提供了一种衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元。本实施例提供的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元相对于上述实施例提供的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元的结构相同。区别在于，本实施例提供的对衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元中的控制装置、检测装置与上述实施例不同。本实施例的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元可通过内部的控制装置、检测装置实现控制定位杆2以较慢地速度滑入插接槽9。定位杆2在进行定位时，可先以正常的速度伸入限位槽8内，而后以较低的速度伸入插接槽9内。这样设置，使得定位杆2可在完成定位的运动过程中根据需要调节速度；保证定位杆2最终以较低的速度伸入插接槽9，保证定位杆2稳定、缓慢地伸入插接槽9内，避免定位杆2对插接槽9造成破坏。
具体地，定位装置1包括驱动定位杆2伸出的电机15；控制装置包括控制定位杆2伸出的开关，控制电机15转速的调速器。如实施例1中所示，检测装置检测定位槽3位于设定的锁定位置，检测装置向控制装置发射信号，控制装置的开关控制定位杆2伸出，控制装置的调速器调节定位杆2伸出过程中电机15的速度。
调速器如前所述，主要控制定位杆2在伸入定位槽3和/或插接槽9的过程中电机15的转速降低。定位杆2在伸入限位槽8内时，定位杆2会先接触限位槽8向内凹陷的底端面11，而后定位杆2再伸入底端面11上设置的插接槽9内。故检测到定位杆2接触到限位槽8的底端面11后，使调速器降低电机15的转速，便可保证定位杆2缓慢地插接入插接槽9内。具体地，限位槽8一端具有供定位杆2伸入的开口10，限位槽8具有与开口10相对的、向内凹陷的底端面11；底端面11上设置检测元件，检测元件可检测定位杆2与底端面11是否相接触；检测元件检测定位杆2与底端面11相接触，控制装置的调速器控制电机15降低转速。检测元件可向控制装置或调速器发射信号，使得定位杆2在与底端面11相接触后，调速器调节电机15的速度。本实施例中底端面11处设置的检测元件、控制装置中调速器的设置，使得衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元中的定位杆2在开始伸入插接槽9的过程中速度变缓慢，保证定位杆2平稳、缓慢地插接入插接槽9中。
本实施例的检测装置包括检测定位杆2插接入定位环7的插接槽9内的定位杆检测元件。通过定位杆检测元件的设置，使得可检测定位杆2是否正常插接入插接槽9内。即通过定位杆检测元件的设置，可及时检测发现定位杆2未正常插接入插接槽9内。
本实施例提供的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元，可通过定位环7上设置的检测元件、定位装置中设置的控制装置，实现控制定位杆2缓慢、稳定插接入插接槽9的目的。
实施例4
本实施例在上述实施例的基础上，提供了定位单元中定位装置内部的具体结构。如图6中所示，定位装置1中设置电机15，电机15的输出轴连接齿轮 16，齿轮16与运行块18上设置的齿条17相螺纹啮合连接，通过齿轮16与齿条17的螺纹啮合连接，使得可通过电机15带动运行块18运动。运行块18上固定定位杆2，定位杆2将会随运行块18共同运动。本实施例提供的定位装置的内部结构，可通过电机15、定位装置内部设置的齿轮16和齿条17的结构，实现带动定位杆2运行。本实施例提供的定位装置1内部的结构，可实现带动定位杆2运行，并可通过调整电机15的转速调整定位杆2伸缩的速度。
实施例5
本实施例在上述实施例的基础上提供了一种衣物处理设备，衣物处理设备中含有如上述实施例中所述的衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元，衣物处理设备中还包括用以锁定或解锁机门的门锁单元12。门锁单元12由于需要与机门相配合，故门锁单元12设置在机门处。洗涤筒机门处的位置由于设置了门锁单元12，将导致机门位置处的空间比较有限，故本实施例提出将定位单元设置在与洗涤筒的机门相对的底端部处。这样定位单元、门锁单元12分开设置，避免两者设置在接近的位置时占用的空间较大、造成空间紧张的情况。
门锁单元12用以锁定、解锁机门，而定位单元用以将洗涤筒锁定定位在设定的位置。实际在使用洗衣机时，必须先保证洗涤筒被锁定在设定的位置后才可进行打开机门的操作。这样保证在打开机门的过程中，洗涤筒始终锁定在设定的位置，防止在开、关机门的过程中洗涤筒转动，进而影响之后洗涤筒的正常运行的情况。并且保证洗涤筒在锁定后才可进行打开机门的操作，还可保证进行开、关机门的操作过程中洗涤筒停止运行，避免在开、关机门的过程中洗涤筒的运行带来安全隐患。综上所述，洗涤筒的锁定与开、关机门的操作之间存在逻辑上的先、后顺序。故本实施例提出衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元、门锁单元12之间通过控制信号和/或连接装置相连接。通过定位单元、门锁单 元12的连接，使得可在定位单元将洗涤筒锁定在预设的位置后才控制门锁单元12对机门进行解锁。即衣物处理设备的洗涤筒的定位单元与门锁单元12之间的连接关系，使得两者可通过连接关系实现上述的逻辑顺序。
如前所述，定位单元中的检测装置中包括检测定位杆2是否插接入插接槽9内的定位杆检测元件，当定位杆检测元件检测到定位杆2插接入插接槽9内时，即定位杆2完成对洗涤筒的锁定定位后；定位单元向门锁单元12发送信号，门锁单元12控制解锁机门。这样操作，可保证定位杆2完成对洗涤筒的锁定定位后，门锁单元12才控制解锁机门；通过两者之间的信号连接，保证洗涤筒先被锁定在设定的位置后才可解锁机门。
或者连接装置包括与定位单元的定位杆2相联动的连杆13，连杆13与门锁单元12的解锁机门的结构相连接。即通过连杆13的机械结构，直接将定位杆2与门锁单元12解锁机门的结构相连接，进而通过机械结构的连接，实现洗涤筒先被锁定在设定的位置后才可解锁机门的逻辑关系。比如定位杆2插接入定位槽3和/或插接槽9后，定位杆2将带动连杆13运动。定位杆2可与连杆13之间通过螺纹连接带动运动，比如定位杆2上设置螺纹，连杆13上相应设置与定位杆2上的螺纹相啮合配合的螺纹。连杆13可相应设置在定位杆2插接入定位槽3和/或插接槽9内后、与位于设定位置的定位杆2相对应的位置。这样使得定位杆2对洗涤筒完成定位锁定后，定位杆2将会带动连杆13运动。而连杆13设置为又与门锁单元12相连接，比如可将连杆13设置为可触发门锁单元12解锁机门的结构，连杆13设置为可伸入门锁单元12中，并且与门锁单元12中的结构相接触触发、触发门锁单元12解锁机门。比如门锁单元12中可设置相应解锁机门的锁舌，连杆13可设置为可相应触发锁舌运动的结构，进而通过连杆13的运动可使门锁单元12解锁机门。本实施例还提供了通过连杆13的机械结 构，使定位杆2与门锁单元12之间机械结构相连的方案，进而通过连杆13的机械结构使定位单元、门锁单元12可实现先将洗涤筒锁定而后可解锁机门的逻辑关系。
本实施例提供的衣物处理设备，将门锁单元12、定位单元分别设置在洗涤筒的不同端部，避免门锁单元12、定位单元设置在洗涤筒中相邻的位置时导致该处位置空间紧张的情况。并且门锁单元12、定位单元虽分开设置，但两者之间或通过信号、或通过机械结构相连接，使门锁单元12、定位单元之间通过连接关系可实现先锁定洗涤筒后解锁机门的逻辑关系。
以上所述仅是本发明的较佳实施例而已，并非对本发明作任何形式上的限制，虽然本发明已以较佳实施例揭露如上，然而并非用以限定本发明，任何熟悉本专利的技术人员在不脱离本发明技术方案范围内，当可利用上述提示的技术内容作出些许更动或修饰为等同变化的等效实施例，但凡是未脱离本发明技术方案的内容，依据本发明的技术实质对以上实施例所作的任何简单修改、等同变化与修饰，均仍属于本发明方案的范围内。
