具体实施方式
下面参照附图来描述本发明的优选实施方式。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。本领域技术人员可以根据需要对其作出调整,以便适应具体的应用场合。
需要说明的是,在本发明的描述中,术语“顶”、“底”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”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“安装”、“相连”、“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。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。
如图1所示,为了解决现有的洗衣机去除衣物污渍和对洗涤剂的溶解效果有待明显提高的问题。本发明的衣物处理设备包括:内筒1,内筒1上设有通气孔11;通气件3,通气件3包括进气口31和出气口32;气体发生装置4,气体发生装置4包括气体出口41,气体出口41与进气口31相连通,气体发生装置4产生的气体由出气口32并经过通气孔11进入至内筒1的储水区。
其中,气体发生装置4的具体形式包括多种,例如,气体发生装置4可以为气泵、风机或压缩机等,其可以设置在衣物处理设备的机壳的内壁上,也可以设置在衣物处理设备的外筒2的外壁上等,优选地,气体发生装置4设于高于储水区液面的位置,如设置在机壳的内壁顶部等,以防止液体倒灌入气体发生装置4中,当然,可以在通气件3的出气口32等位置设置隔水透气膜,即能够允许气体由出气口32排出,但不允许洗涤水由出气口32进入至通气件3中,隔水透气膜可以为聚四氟乙烯膜片或者PTFE膜等,此种情况下,对气体发生装置4在机壳和外筒2上的设置位置可以不做限制;其中,气体发生装置4的气体出口41可以通过连接管7与通气件3的进气口31连接,也可以与通气件3的进气口31直接连接等,气体发生装置4引入气体的方式包括多种,例如,当气体发生装置4设于外筒2的外侧壁上时,气体发生装置4的气体进口可以通过管与衣物处理设备的机壳上的开设的孔相连接;当气体发生装置4设于机壳的内壁上时,气体发生装置4的气体进口可以直接与机壳上的开设的孔相连接等。
此外,本发明的衣物处理设备的具体形式包括多种,例如,可以为滚筒洗衣机、波轮洗衣机、洗干一体机等,其中,储水区为内筒1用于 容纳洗涤水的区域,当衣物处理设备为滚筒洗衣机时,储水区位于内筒1的径向底侧,当衣物处理设备为波轮洗衣机时,储水区位于内筒1的轴向底侧。
此外,可以理解的是,通气孔11不同于内筒1上的透水孔,其孔径远远大于透水孔,气体发生装置4产生的气体应能全部或者大部分由该通气孔11进入到内筒1的储水区中,此外,通气孔11也并非内筒1上的衣物投放口,产生的气体通过通气孔11进入内筒1的储水区,相较于通过衣物投放口进入内筒1的储水区,不存在投放或取出衣物时形成干涉的问题。
由于现有技术的气体发生装置4的气体出口41产生的气泡直接发射到内筒1与外筒2之间,对洗涤剂的溶解和衣物上污渍的去除效果有限,改进方案通常为,通过加大气体发生装置4的气量,或者,改进气体发生装置4,使其产生微气泡等,但最后使用效果却没有得到显著的提高。
申请人经过研究发现,气泡由外筒2通过内筒1上的透水孔进入到内筒1中的概率很小,而且实验证明,即使不是较大的气泡,而是非常细小的微气泡也很难有效的进入到内筒1中。即,本申请发现了对洗涤剂的溶解和衣物上污渍的去除效果较差的主要原因,并不在于产生的气泡量的多少,以及产生的气泡量的大小,而是在于内筒1上透水孔使气泡无法有效进入到内筒1中。
基于上述本领域技术人员未发现的问题,本申请通过在内筒1上设置通气孔11,气体发生装置4产生的气体直接经过该通气孔11进入至内筒1的储水区中,在洗涤/漂洗水中形成高能气泡,进而在水中形成大量的空化气泡,数千亿计的刚性空泡炸裂,随即产生强大的冲击力,高效剥离衣物上的脏污,减少洗涤剂的使用量以及残留,去污以及对洗涤剂的溶解效果得到了明显的提高。
为了避免通气件3对内筒1的转动形成干涉,进而影响洗涤工作,本发明采用了以下两种可能的实施方式。
第一种可能的实施方式,衣物处理设备还包括驱动装置5,驱动装置5与通气件3相连,通气件3在驱动装置5的驱动下,能够在通气孔11的内外两侧伸缩,当通气件3由通气孔11伸入至内筒1的储水区时,通 气件3的出气口32位于内筒1的储水区。即当需要向内筒1的储水区导入气体时,驱动装置5驱动通气件3伸入内筒1的储水区中,出气口32排出的气体能够直接导入储水区,充分利用气泡产生的能量,以提高洗涤效果,当不需要向内筒1的储水区内导入气体时,驱动装置5驱动通气件3由内筒1的储水区缩回至内筒1的外部,以避免对内筒1的转动形成干涉。
如图2和图3所示,可能地,通气件3为杆体33,杆体33内部沿其轴向形成气流通道,进气口31和出气口32均与气流通道相通,驱动装置5包括电机51和传动组件(例如下文介绍的凸轮连杆机构52),电机51通过传动组件与杆体33相连,以驱动杆体33在通气孔11的内外两侧收缩。衣物处理设备的外筒2上设有第一安装孔21,衣物处理设备还包括密封件6,密封件6包括柔性罩61,柔性罩61的底端敞口,且敞口612与第一安装孔21密封连接,柔性罩61的顶端设有第二安装孔611,杆体33的第一端与传动组件相连,杆体33的第二端由柔性罩61内部穿出第二安装孔611设置,且第二安装孔611与杆体33固定密封连接,在驱动装置5驱动杆体33伸入通气孔11的内侧时(即内筒1的内部),柔性罩能够与通气孔11形成密封。可以理解的是,柔性罩61为内部形成空腔的一个柔性的罩体,其底端敞口,该敞口612与空腔相通,且该敞口612与第一安装孔21密封连接,其顶端指的是远离敞口612的一侧,其中,柔性罩61的罩壁优选为波纹状,当然与可以非波纹状,柔性罩61的材质可以为橡胶或者硅胶等,第二安装孔611与杆体33固定密封的方式包括多种,例如第二安装孔611与杆体33过盈配合,或者通过密封垫连接等。此外,杆体33的进气口31可以设于其第一端,也可以设于其侧壁上,其出气口32优选为其第二端,当然也可以设置在其侧壁上。此种情况下,为了有效保证杆体33能够伸缩,与气体发生装置4的气体出口41连接的连接管7可以为波纹管或者能够发生形变的软管。
当需要向内筒1的储水区导入气体时,驱动装置5驱动杆体33由通气孔11伸入至内筒1的储水区,此时,由于杆体33与第二安装孔611固定密封连接,在杆体33做朝向通气孔11伸入的直线运动时,会带动柔性罩61共同朝向通气孔11方向运动,直至柔性罩61与通气孔11抵接, 从而使柔性罩61与通气孔11形成密封,进而防止导入储水区的气体由通气孔11逸出至内筒1与外筒2之间,导致气泡量的损失,尤其是在内筒1中的衣物量较多时,能够避免洗涤效果的变差,此外,由于柔性罩61的底端与第一安装孔21形成密封,能够避免洗涤水由第一安装孔21流出,上述设置方式,能够实现柔性罩61同时形成通气孔11和第一安装孔21的两处密封,一个零件实现多种用途,降低使用成本。
进一步地,密封件6还包括顶端开口621的外壳62,外壳62的底端密封安装于第一安装孔21,其密封连接的方式包括多种,例如,通过外壳62与第一安装孔21过盈配合,或者通过密封垫等方式进行密封,柔性罩61的底端与外壳62的内底壁相连,柔性罩61的顶端与开口621密封连接,如通过波纹状的橡胶体连接,或者通过平整的硅胶体连接等,外壳62的内底壁上还形成有第二通孔622,第二通孔622设于柔性罩61中,杆体33穿过第二通孔622,且与第二通孔622留有活动间隙,以使杆体33在第二通孔622中可移动。
其中,柔性罩61的底端是通过外壳62的底壁与第一安装孔21密封连接的,从而能够防止洗涤水由第一安装孔21流出,其顶端与开口621密封连接,能够避免洗涤水进入至外壳62内部,从而保证内部零件不与洗涤水长期接触,保护内部零件不受损坏,提高其使用寿命;外壳62的底壁的第二通孔622的设置,能够限定杆体33做直线运动,实现杆体33精准插入至通气孔11中;上述的密封件6的整体设计,对内筒1和外筒2的结构改造较小,且便于安装拆卸。进一步地,柔性罩61内还设有弹簧,弹簧的一端与柔性罩61的内顶壁连接,弹簧的另一端与外壳62的内底壁相连,从而实现对柔性罩61的支撑。
可能地,传动组件为凸轮连杆机构52,即电机51通过凸轮连杆机构52与杆体33的第一端相连。可以理解的是,凸轮连杆机构52包括凸轮和连杆,电机51的输出轴与凸轮固定连接,凸轮与连杆相铰接,连杆与杆体33的第一端铰接,从而在电机51的输出轴转动时,能够带动杆体33做直线运动,实现杆体33在通气孔11的内外两侧收缩。其中,通气件3的进气口31可以设置在杆体33的侧壁上,杆体33的远离内筒1的一端不设开口,且与连杆铰接。其中,电机51的固定方式包括多种,例 如,可以在外筒2的外侧壁或机壳上设置支架,电机51固定设置在支架上;或者电机51直接设置在机壳内壁或外筒2外壁上等。
此外,驱动装置5驱动通气件3在通气孔11的内外两侧伸缩的实施方式不仅限于以上的实施方式,例如,如图4和图5所示,可能地,通气件3为波纹管34,波纹管34的管壁内形成压力腔341,管壁上设有压力口342,压力口342与压力腔341相通,驱动装置5为气动装置或液压装置,驱动装置5的出口与压力口342相连通,波纹管34的一端与气体出口41相连通,此种情况下,波纹管34的另一端则为其出气口32。
其中,气动装置的具体形式包括多种,例如,可以为气泵或者为现有的或者未来可能出现的任何能够吸气以及吹气的装置,液压装置可以包括双向液压泵和液压箱,液压箱的出口与双向液压泵的第一开口相连接,液压泵的第二开口与压力口342相连接,即当需要喷入液压油时,双向液压泵动作,使液压箱中的液压油由第一开口、第二开口、压力口342流入压力腔341中,当需要泄液压油时,双向液压泵动作,使液压油由压力腔341依次经过压力口342、第二开口和第一开口流回至液压箱中,或者,液压装置可以为活塞式液压缸,即包括缸体、活塞、连杆和驱动件,缸体上设有油孔和安装孔,油孔与压力口342连接,活塞设于缸体内,在缸体轴向上可密封滑动,且将缸体内的空腔分隔为第一腔室和第二腔室,油孔位于第一腔室中,安装孔位于第二腔室中且设于缸体的端部,连杆的一端与活塞连接,另一端穿过安装孔与缸体外部的驱动件连接,液压油设于第一腔室中,驱动件为能够通过连杆驱动活塞做直线运动的任何装置,如为电机和齿轮齿条的组合形式等,当驱动件驱动活塞朝向第一腔室运动时,第一腔室的体积变小,液压油由油孔排出至压力腔341中,当驱动件驱动活塞朝向第二腔室运动时,第一腔室的体积变大,压力腔341中的液压油由油孔被吸回至第一腔室,或者,液压装置还可以为现有的或者未来可能出现的任何能够实现排油和吸油的装置。
此外,可以理解的是,本发明的波纹管34的管壁可以全部为波纹状,也可以部分为波纹状,例如,其中部为波纹状,两端管面平整。波纹管34密封设置于第一安装孔21的方式包括多种,例如,波纹管34的一端不设波纹,且该端外围紧固套设有环状的金属片,外筒2上的第一安装 孔21与该金属片通过密封垫密封连接,或者,波纹管34直接与第一安装孔21通过防水胶粘接等。其中,波纹管34可以伸出第一安装孔21设置,且压力口342设于第一安装孔21外侧的管壁上,从而便于压力口342与驱动装置5的出口的连接。
当需要向内筒1的储水区导入气体时,气动装置或液压装置动作,使气体或液压油由压力口342进入至波纹管34的压力腔341中,实现压力腔341内的增压,从而波纹管34开始伸长,进而能够使波纹管34伸入至通气孔11中,当不需要向内筒1的储水区导入气体时,气动装置或液压装置进行泄压操作,使压力腔341中的气体或液压油由压力口342排出,从而使得压力腔341内泄压,进而实现波纹管34缩回至内筒1的外部,以防形成干涉。
此种情况下,也可以进一步地设置上述的柔性罩,即柔性罩的底端敞口与第一安装孔21密封连接,波纹管34的一端与第一安装孔21密封连接,波纹管34的另一端由柔性罩的内部穿出柔性罩顶端的第二安装孔611,且第二安装孔611与波纹管34密封连接,在驱动装置5驱动波纹管34伸入通气孔11的内侧时,柔性罩能够与通气孔11形成密封。进而防止导入储水区的气体由通气孔11逸出至内筒1与外筒2之间,导致气泡量的损失。
作为一种优选的实施方式,本发明的内筒1的内侧壁上设有提升筋12,提升筋12上设有第一通孔,提升筋12与内侧壁围设形成腔室,通气孔11设于腔室中。可以理解的是,提升筋12的作用是在内筒1转动时将衣物带到高处,形成上下摔打,以达到洗净衣物的目的。
参照图1,本发明利用衣物处理设备的原有结构-提升筋12,能够使得在通气件3由通气孔11插入至内筒1的储水区后,由于通气孔11设于提升筋12与内筒1的内侧壁围设形成的腔室中,从而能够避免衣物与通气件3接触,即能够避免通气件3与衣物干涉,进而能够避免可能会造成的通气件3磨损和衣物损伤的现象出现,此外,由于提升筋12与内筒1的内侧壁围设形成一个较小的封闭空间,气泡能量散失较小,从而气泡仍能够通过提升筋12上设有第一通孔到达到衣物处形成空化气泡,高效剥离衣物上的脏污。
第二种可能的实施方式,通气件3的出气口32位于内筒1和外筒2之间,且与通气孔11对应设置,即气体由通气件3的出气口32直接通过通气孔11进入至内筒1的储水区。
其中,通气件3的具体形式包括多种,例如,可以为空心的杆体,杆体的一端(进气口31)与气体发生装置4的气体出口41相连通,另一端为出气口32,且出气口32与通气孔11对应设置,或者,通气件3可以为与气体发生装置4的气体出口41直接连接的连接管7,该连接管7的出气口的一端直接由第一安装孔21伸入至内筒1与外筒2之间,且与通气孔11对应设置,上述通气件3与第一安装孔21可以直接通过密封垫密封连接;或者,通气件3为第一安装孔21,第一安装孔21与通气孔11对应设置,此种情况下,第一安装孔21由外筒2的内壁向内筒1侧延伸预设长度,气体发生装置4的气体出口41与第一安装孔21密封连接。其中,通气件3为与气体发生装置4的气体出口41直接连接的连接管7时,该连接管7可以不由第一安装孔21伸入,而是由外筒口与机壳连接的窗垫上设置的孔处伸入,以形成有效的密封,然后连接管7的出气口32与通气孔11对应设置,此种情况下的通气孔11可以设置在内筒1的前侧,如内筒口处。
上述设置方式,其洗涤效果仅略微衰减,但是能够避免通气件3与衣物形成干涉,避免对通气件3造成磨损以及对衣物造成损伤。此外,能够省去驱动装置5的设置,降低使用成本。此外,此种设置方式不会妨碍内筒1的转动,可以在内筒1转动时,一直启动气体发生装置4,在通气件3的出气口32与内筒1的通气孔11相对时,对衣物的去污能力最佳。
作为一种可能的实施方式,衣物处理设备还包括位置传感装置,位置传感装置被设置成,在内筒1转动到设定位置时被触发,以控制内筒1停止转动,使得在内筒1停止转动后,气体发生装置4产生的气体能够由出气口32并经过通气孔11进入至内筒1的储水区。
其中,上述的设定位置可以为在通气孔11与出气口32相对时的位置,此种情况下,要求内筒1的转速较慢,位置传感装置被触发后会发送触发信号,以使衣物处理设备的控制器接收触发信号,控制器在接收 到触发信号后控制内筒1停止转动,此时由于内筒1的转速较慢,内筒1几乎可以马上停止转动,从而保证通气孔11与出气口32相对,进而能够保证通气件3由通气孔11伸入至内筒1的内部或者保证内筒1和外筒2之间的出气口32与内筒1的通气孔11的对准;当内筒1的转速较快时,上述的设定位置为内筒1转动至通气孔11与出气口32位置相对之前的预设距离处,即在内筒1转动到通气孔11与出气口32的相对应的位置之前的预设距离处位置传感装置被触发以发送触发信号,控制器接收到触发信号后控制内筒1停止转动,在内筒1停止转动后,由于内筒1转速较大,内筒1会继续转动预设距离,并在内筒1转动预设距离后停止转动,此时通气孔11与出气口32正好相对,从而保证通气件3能够由通气孔11伸入至内筒1的内部或者内筒1和外筒2之间的出气口32正好与内筒1的通气孔11相对,进而保证气体由通气孔11进入至内筒1的储水区。
其中,位置传感装置的具体形式包括多种,例如,位置传感装置包括霍尔传感器和磁铁,霍尔传感器设置在外筒2的外壁上,磁铁设置在内筒1的外壁上,且在内筒1转动到设定位置时,霍尔传感器与磁铁的位置相对,以使触发信号;或者霍尔传感器设置在外筒2的外底壁上(外筒轴向的底侧处),磁铁设置在驱动内筒1转动的直驱电机的外转子上,且在内筒1转动到设定位置时,霍尔传感器与磁铁的位置相对,以触发信号;或者,位置传感器包括信号开关和信号触头,信号开关设于外筒口处,信号触头设于内筒口处,且在内筒1转动到设定位置时,信号开关与信号触头相接触,以触发信号。
另外,本发明还提供了一种衣物处理设备的控制方法,该控制方法包括:
步骤S100:在洗涤过程中,控制内筒转动。
步骤S200:在内筒转动到设定位置时,控制内筒停止转动。
步骤S300:控制气体发生装置启动。
其中,可以在衣物处理设备的洗涤程序中加入向内筒中导入气体的气泡程序,例如,在衣物处理设备的洗涤程序中,控制内筒转动的电机会按照预设的转停比进行转动,因此,在洗涤程序中,按照预设转停比 运行的电机处于停止转动的区间段时,可以执行气泡程序,即控制内筒转动,直至内筒转动至设定位置时,控制内筒停止转动,在内筒停止转动后,控制气体发生装置启动,以向内筒的储水区中导入气体,提高洗涤效果。其中,设定位置为上述实施方式中介绍的设定位置,确定内筒转动到该设定位置的方式包括多种,例如,可以通过设置上述的位置传感装置的方式,也可以基于驱动内筒转动的电机的转动速度和时间确定内筒何时转动到该设定位置,即电机的转动速度和时间确定了内筒的转动位置,因此,在电机的转动速度和时间均分别达到设定的值时,可确定内筒转动到了该设定位置。
其中,当出气口位于内筒和外筒之间,且与通气孔对应设置时,在控制内筒停止转动后,可以直接控制气体发生装置启动,从而使大部分气体依次通过通气件的出气口、内筒的通气孔进入至内筒的储水区中,以提高洗涤效果。
当衣物处理设备还包括驱动装置,驱动装置与通气件相连,通气件在驱动装置的驱动下,能够在通气孔的内外两侧伸缩时。在“控制内筒停止转动”的步骤之后,还包括步骤“控制驱动装置驱动通气件伸入至通气孔的内侧”,然后再控制气体发生装置启动,以使气体通过通气件的出气口直接导入至内筒的储水区,提高去污能力,提高洗涤效果。“控制气体发生装置启动”的步骤之后,还包括步骤“当经过预设时间后,控制驱动装置驱动通气件缩回至通气孔的外侧”,其中,上述的预设时间可以为用户设定的,也可以是在洗衣机原有洗涤程序中,基于按照预设转停比运行的内筒转动前的预设时间段换算获得的,也就是说,在按照洗衣机原有洗涤程序运行的内筒转动前的预设时间内,控制驱动装置驱动通气件缩回至通气孔的外侧,从而使得在对衣物完成气泡洗涤后,能够不干涉内筒的转动,进而完成对衣物的高效洗涤。
需要说明的是,上述实施方式仅仅用来阐述本发明的原理,并非旨在与限制本发明的保护范围,在不偏离本发明原理的条件下,本领域技术人员能够对上述实施方式进行调整,以便本发明能够应用于更加具体的应用场景。
例如,虽然本发明是以柔性罩进行介绍的,但这并不旨在于限制本 发明的保护范围,其设置方式可以调整,如省去柔性罩的设置,杆体33的第一端通过柔性的密封垫与第一安装孔连接,即通过柔性的密封垫补偿杆体33的移动距离,这些均不偏离本发明的原理,均在本发明的保护范围之内。
例如,虽然本发明是以外壳62的底壁上形成有第二通孔622,第二通孔622设于柔性罩61中,杆体33穿过第二通孔622,且与第二通孔622留有活动间隙进行介绍的,但这并不旨在于限制本发明的保护范围,如可以省去外壳62的设置,杆体33穿过第一安装孔21,第一安装孔21与杆体33留有活动间隙,柔性罩61的底端密封罩设于第一安装孔21的外围等,这些均不偏离本发明的原理,均在本发明的保护范围之内。
例如,作为一种可替换的实施方式,虽然本发明的驱动装置5是以电机51和凸轮连杆机构52进行介绍的,但这并不旨在于限制本发明的保护范围,其设置方式可以进行调整,如驱动装置5可以为电机51和齿轮齿条机构,电机51的输出轴与齿轮固定连接,齿轮与齿条啮合,且齿条与杆体33的第一端相连,其中,外筒2的外侧壁上可以设置导向件,导向件上设有条形凹槽,齿条可移动的设于凹槽中,以对齿条进行导向等。此种情况下,杆体33可以不与第一安装孔21密封连接,而是齿条与第一安装孔21密封连接,这些均不偏离本发明的原理,均在本发明的保护范围之内。
本领域技术人员可以理解,上述衣物处理设备包括一些其他公知结构,例如处理器、控制器、存储器等,其中,存储器包括但不限于随机存储器、闪存、只读存储器、可编程只读存储器、易失性存储器、非易失性存储器、串行存储器、并行存储器或寄存器等,处理器包括但不限于CPLD/FPGA、DSP、ARM处理器、MIPS处理器等。为了不必要地模糊本公开的实施例,这些公知的结构未在附图中示出。
