本申请涉及衣物处理技术领域，尤其涉及一种防垢模块、分配器以及洗衣装置。
背景技术
洗衣装置通常向洗衣筒内通入自来水，用于洗涤衣物。自来水的硬度通常较高，也就是说，自来水中的钙离子、镁离子等含量较高，容易生成难溶于水的无机盐类沉淀，而这类无机盐类沉淀不仅容易附着在洗衣筒等器件上，还容易降低洗涤剂的洗涤效率。
发明内容
有鉴于此，本申请期望提供一种能够防止水垢的防垢模块、分配器以及洗衣装置。
为达到上述目的，本申请提供一种防垢模块，包括：
外罩，形成有过水腔、进水口和出水口，所述进水口和所述出水口均与所述过水腔连通；

具体实施方式
需要说明的是，在不冲突的情况下，本申请中的实施例及实施例中的技术特征可以相互组合，具体实施方式中的详细描述应理解为本申请宗旨的解释说明，不应视为对本申请的不当限制。
在本申请实施例中“上”、“下”、“第一端”、“第二端”和“长度方向”方位或位置关系为基于图3和图6所示的方位或位置关系，需要理解的是，这些方 位术语仅是为了便于描述本申请和简化描述，而不是指示或暗示所指的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申请的限制。下面结合附图及具体实施例对本申请再作进一步详细的说明。
相关技术中，在洗衣装置的自来水管内配置防垢器，防垢器导致呈圆筒状，防垢器的长度方向的两端分别形成有进水口和出水口，将防垢剂直接放置在防垢器内，自来水通过进水口进入防垢器内，与防垢剂反应生成软化水，软化水通过出水口流出防垢器。这种方式，一方面，自来水在容腔内停留时间短，自来水与防垢剂反应时间短，防垢剂难以有效降低自来水的硬度。另一方面，防垢剂容易堵塞进水口和/或出水口，这样，水路容易被堵死，影响自来水管供水。
本申请实施例提供一种防垢模块100，请参阅图1至图3，防垢模块100包括外罩110和防垢件120，外罩110形成有过水腔110a、进水口110b和出水口110c，进水口110b和出水口110c均与过水腔110a连通，防垢件120设置于过水腔110a内，防垢件120形成有防垢腔120a和滤水孔(图未示出)，防垢腔120a用于盛装防垢剂，滤水孔连通防垢腔120a和过水腔110a。
本申请实施例提供的防垢模块100，水液通过滤水孔在防垢腔120a和过水腔110a之间流通，水流通过进水口110b进入过水腔110a，再通过滤水孔进入防垢腔120a内并与防垢剂反应生成软化水，软化水再通过滤水孔回流至过水腔110a内，最后通过出水口110c流出至防垢模块100外。一方面，防垢剂被约束在防垢腔120a内，防垢剂基本不会堵塞进水口110b和/或出水口110c，能够有效保证水路正常流通。另一方面，将防垢件120设置于外罩110内，进入外罩110的水液可以在过水腔110a和防垢腔120a内暂留，延长防垢剂与水液的接触时长和接触面积，从而提高反应效率、改进反应效果，有效降低水液的硬度。
需要说明的是，软化水是指防垢剂降低硬度后的水液。
滤水孔的数量可以为一个或多个。多个滤水孔便于水液的迅速流通。
需要说明的是，多个包括数量为两个以及两个以上。
防垢剂是指能够分散、干扰或防止生成难溶性无机盐的物质。防垢剂可以为固态物质，例如防垢剂呈颗粒状。防垢剂的体积需大于滤水孔的尺寸，这样， 防垢剂不能通过滤水孔脱出防垢件120。
示例性的，防垢剂可以通过静电斥力作用、螯合增溶作用、凝聚与分散作用或晶体畸变作用等抑制形成水垢。一实施例中，防垢剂遇水缓慢溶解释放，能够与水中成垢因子例如阳离子和阴离子产生弱电干扰效应，成垢因子被提前夺取而失活。阳离子包括但不限于钙离子、铁离子、铜离子和镁离子等，阴离子包括但不限于CO32-，HCO3-，SO42-等。另一实施例中，防垢剂的分子吸附在水垢形成过程中的晶体活性生长点的晶格点针上，使水垢晶体不能按照晶格排列正常成型，使水垢晶体发生畸变，进而使水垢晶体的内部应力增大导致水垢晶体破裂，从而防止微晶沉积成垢，这样通过晶体畸变作用达到防垢的效果。本申请实施例中的防垢剂的类型不限于上述示例中的类型，现有技术中能够实现水液防垢的防垢剂均可以使用。
一实施例中，请参阅图3，防垢件120与外罩110可拆卸连接。一方面，可以避免防垢件120在过水腔110a内随意运动。另一方面，随着防垢剂的使用，防垢剂逐渐损耗减少，通过防垢件120与外罩110可拆卸连接，便于装配和拆卸防垢件120，从而达到维护或更换防垢件120的目的。又一方面，用户可以将新的防垢件120直接替换旧的防垢件120，更换方便，有利于用户自行操作，可以不需要用户自行向防垢腔120a内填充颗粒状的防垢剂，避免儿童等误食防垢剂。
一实施例中，请参阅图3至图5，防垢件120的长度方向的第一端与外罩110插接配合，防垢件120的长度方向的第二端与外罩110卡接配合。一方面，防垢件120装配时，例如，可以将防垢件120的第一端先与外罩110插接配合，这样便于快速定位，再按压防垢件120，以便防垢件120的第二端与外罩110卡接配合，从而将防垢件120快速、稳固地装配至外罩110上。当然，也可以先卡接再插接。如此设计，装配便捷、高效，操作简单。另一方面，由于水流冲击防垢件120，防垢件120长度方向上容易发生弯曲变形，致使水路流通受影响，防垢件120的长度方向的两端均与外罩110可拆卸连接，能够起到加强结构强度，限制防垢件120弯曲偏移的作用。
防垢件120的第一端和外罩110插配合的具体结构不限，示例性的，一实施 例中，请参阅图3和图5，防垢件120的第一端和外罩110其中一个形成有凸筋114，防垢件120的第一端和外罩110其中另一个形成有凹陷120b，凸筋114和凹陷120b插接配合。例如，防垢件120的第一端形成有凸筋114，外罩110形成有凹陷120b。又例如，外罩110形成有凸筋114，防垢件120的第一端形成有凹陷120b。凸筋114沿防垢件120的长度方向插入凹陷120b内，凹陷120b的壁面限制凸筋114移动，从而加强防垢件120与外罩110之间的装配强度。
示例性的，一实施例中，请参阅图3和图5，防垢件120的第一端形成有通口120c，外罩110对应防垢件120的第一端的壁面形成有流出口110d，流出口110d连通防垢腔120a和通口120c。这样，防垢腔120a内的水液还可以通过通口120c和流出口110d流出至防垢模块100外，增强防垢模块100的出水能力。
一实施例中，请参阅图3，防垢件120的长度方向与上下方向垂直，进水口110b形成于外罩110的上侧面，出水口110c形成于外罩110的下侧面。也就是说，防垢件120的长度方向沿水平方向延伸，水流从上方的进水口110b进入过水腔110a内，从出水口110c和通口120c排出至防垢模块100外，这样，防垢模块100的出水能力好，能够有效避免水液从进水口110b溢出。
需要说明的是，上是指朝向天花板的方向，下与上相反是指朝向地面的方向。
一些实施例中，请参阅图5，通口120c可以包括多个间隔布置的第一子孔，流出口110d也可以包括多个间隔布置的第二子孔110d’，凸筋114可以包括多个间隔布置的凸块1141，凸块1141可以位于相邻的两个第一子孔之间或位于相邻的两个第二子孔110d’之间。这样，第一子孔和第二子孔110d’可以对准，凸块1141避让第一子孔和第二子孔110d’，来自防垢腔120a的软化水可以快速、顺畅地排出防垢模块100，避免凸筋114阻碍软化水流动。
示例性的，一实施例中，请参阅图5，外罩110形成有多个间隔布置的凸块1141，凸块1141位于相邻的两个第二子孔110d’之间，凹陷120b的壁面形成有多个间隔布置的第一子孔，凸块1141抵接凹陷120b的壁面。一方面，凸块1141抵接凹陷120b的壁面可以避免外罩110和防垢件120之间存在装配间隙，降低防 垢件120弯曲变形的概率，从而避免第一子孔和第二子孔110d’错位。另一方面，采用多个间隔布置的凸块1141，凸块1141的尺寸可以较小，避免凸块1141遮挡第一子孔和第二子孔110d’。
防垢件120的第二端与外罩110卡接配合的具体结构不限，一实施例中，请参阅图3和图4，防垢件120的第二端形成有弹性板124和凸缘125，凸缘125位于弹性板124朝向外罩110的自由端，外罩110的内表面形成有凸条，凸缘125靠近凸条的过程中，弹性板124发生弹性形变以使得凸缘125从凸条的一侧运动至相对的另一侧，弹性板124恢复弹性形变，以使得凸缘125的表面与凸条的另一侧的侧面抵接。这样，通过凸缘125和凸条的抵接，实现防垢件120的第二端与外罩110之间的卡接配合。
弹性板124、凸缘125和凸条均可以为一个或多个，且弹性板124、凸缘125和凸条一一对应设置。也就是说，每个弹性板124上设置一个凸条，每个凸条对应一个凸缘125。多个弹性板124可以沿防垢件120的周向间隔布置。
需要说明的是，防垢件120的周向是指以沿防垢件120的长度方向延伸的直线为中心线，环绕中心线的圆周方向为周向。
一实施例中，请参阅图3和图4，防垢件120包括防垢筒121和筒盖122，防垢筒121的周向面形成有滤水孔，防垢腔120a形成于防垢筒121内，防垢筒121的长度方向的第一端敞口121a，筒盖122可拆卸地盖合防垢筒121的第一端敞口121a。具体地，防垢筒121的第一端敞口121a与防垢腔120a连通。一方面，防垢筒121和筒盖122可以分别独立制造，再将防垢筒121和筒盖122装配至一起，这样，可以降低防垢筒121和筒盖122的制造难度。另一方面，防垢筒121和筒盖122可拆卸连接，便于防垢筒121和筒盖122之间的装配和拆卸，例如，可以在需要更换、维护防垢剂时，将筒盖122拆卸下来，取出防垢腔120a内的防垢剂，更换、维护完成之后，再将筒盖122装配至防垢筒121上，实现重复利用，节约成本，环境友好。又一方面，沿防垢筒121的长度方向装配筒盖122，还便于加强结构强度，降低防垢筒121的长度方向上弯曲变形的可能性。
示例性的，一实施例中，防垢筒121可以为金属材料例如不锈钢一体成型， 筒盖122可以采用塑料一体注塑成型。防垢筒121呈中空的薄壁筒状结构，滤水孔可以均匀地布置于防垢筒121的周向面上，这样，防垢筒121的质量较轻，既便于水液流通，又能有效避免防垢剂泄露出防垢筒121外。筒盖122可以加强防垢筒121的结构强度，既能够限制防垢筒121在水流冲击下变形，又便于与外罩110连接。
一实施例中，请参阅图3和图4，防垢件120包括套盖123，防垢筒121的长度方向的第二端敞口121b，套盖123可拆卸地盖合防垢筒121的第二端敞口121b。具体地，防垢筒121的第二端敞口121b与防垢腔120a连通。示例性的，套盖123也可以采用塑料一体注塑成型。如此设计，不仅能够进一步简化各个结构，降低制造难度，还能够进一步加强防垢件120的结构强度，抵御水流冲击，防止防垢筒121在长度方向上弯曲变形。
一实施例中，请参阅图5，筒盖122可以形成有凹陷120b，凹陷120b的槽壁上形成有多个第一子孔。这样，将凹陷120b和第一子孔在筒盖122上制造成型，滤水孔在防垢筒121上制造成型，降低制造难度。筒盖122和套盖123加强防垢筒121的结构强度，避免第一子孔和第二子孔110d’无法对准。

本申请实施例提供的分配器，一方面，在洗涤剂盒200内搭载防垢模块100，可以用于为洗衣装置提供软化水，这样避免在洗衣装置的其他部位需求防垢模块100的安装位置。另一方面，洗涤剂盒200的尺寸相对较大，放置腔200b的尺寸选择余地较大，也就是说，放置腔200b的尺寸也可以较大，降低了设计难度，便于将防垢模块100装配至放置腔200b内。过水腔110a的容积也可以较大，过水腔110a为水液提供一定的缓存空间，增加水液与防垢剂的接触时长，以便水液与防垢剂可以充分反应。
需要说明的是，注水通道200a可以通过管路连接至用户的自来水管，这样，自来水通过注水通道200a进入过水腔110a内，以降低自来水的硬度。
一实施例中，请参阅图6，洗涤剂盒200包括装配盒210和分液件220，注水通道200a和出液通道200c均形成于装配盒210内，放置腔200b形成于分液件220内，装配盒210形成有取放口210a，分液件220能够通过取放口210a插入或拔出装配盒210。这样，便于用户更换或维护防垢模块100。例如，在需要更换或维护防垢模块100时，通过取放口210a将分液件220拔出装配盒210，用户可以拿取防垢模块100。在完成更换或维护后，将分液件220插入装配盒210内。
一实施例中，请参阅图6和图7，放置腔200b的顶侧敞口，防垢模块100能够通过放置腔200b的顶侧敞口取出或放入放置腔200b。这样设计，不仅便于用户抬手取放防垢模块100，还能够在一定程度上避免防垢模块100掉出放置腔200b。
需要说明的是，顶与上方向一致，底与下方向一致。
一实施例中，防垢模块100与分液件220可拆卸连接。如此，不仅便于用户更换或维护防垢模块100，还能够加强防垢模块100与分液件220之间的装配强度，避免防垢模块100被误触后掉出放置腔200b。
一实施例中，请参阅图6和图7，分液件220形成有顶侧开口的洗涤剂槽220a，洗涤剂槽220a与出液通道200c连通。洗涤剂槽220a用于盛放洗涤剂。用户可以通过顶侧开口向洗涤剂槽220a内添加洗涤剂，洗涤剂可以通过出液通道200c进 入洗衣腔内，以便洗涤衣物。
一实施例中，请参阅图1和图6，注水通道200a的末端形成有多个注水孔200a’，进水口110b形成于罩体111的上侧面，注水孔200a’位于进水口110b的上方，且用于向进水口110b内喷洒水液。具体地，以垂直于上下方向的平面为投影面，多个注水孔200a’的投影在进水口110b的投影范围内。也就是说，进水口110b的面积大于多个注水孔200a’的面积之和。这样，进水口110b的尺寸较大，便于进水口110b承接来自注水孔200a’的水液。
本申请实施例还提供一种洗衣装置，洗衣装置包括洗衣筒、供水水路和本申请任一实施例中的防垢模块100，洗衣筒具有洗衣腔，供水水路与洗衣腔连通，防垢模块100设置于供水水路上。
本申请实施例提供的洗衣装置，供水水路用于向洗衣腔提供水液。流经供水水路的水液进入防垢模块100内，与防垢剂反应生成软化水，软化水进入洗衣腔内，这样，软化水接触衣物和/或洗涤剂，避免难溶于水的无机盐类沉淀沉积至洗衣筒等零部件上，还能避免无机盐类沉淀与洗涤剂反应，从而在一定程度上避免衣物黯淡变硬。
可以理解的是，供水水路可以与用户的自来水管连接。这样，来自供水水路的自来水经过防垢模块100软化后，再进入洗衣腔内。
洗衣装置还可以具有烘干功能，即洗衣装置还可以具有烘干风道，烘干风道用于烘干洗衣腔内的衣物。
一实施例中，洗衣筒可转动。如此，可以通过洗衣筒转动以带动衣物和水流运动，以洗涤衣物，例如，可以通过洗衣筒的转动，实现衣物的清洁、漂洗和脱水等等。
一实施例中，洗衣装置还可以包括套设于洗衣筒外的外筒，洗衣筒的周向面可以形成通孔，洗衣筒用于盛放衣物，外筒可以用于盛水，外筒内的水液可以通过通孔进入或流出洗衣筒。
一实施例中，洗衣筒的轴线可以沿水平方向。换句话说，洗衣装置可以为滚筒式洗衣装置。示例性的，外筒和洗衣筒的轴线均沿水平方向，洗衣筒和外 筒均朝前侧开口。这样，用户可以通过洗衣筒和外筒的前侧开口将衣物投入或取出洗涤腔。
需要说明的是，前是指朝向用户的方向。
一实施例中，洗衣装置包括加热件，加热件用于加热洗涤腔内的水液。加热件的位置不限，例如，加热件可以位于洗衣筒和外筒之间的空间内。这样，避免洗衣筒内的衣物接触加热件，加热件产生的热水可以用于洗涤衣物，以提高洗涤效率。由于防垢剂可以降低水液中的难溶于水的无机盐类沉淀，因此，可以避免难溶于水的无机盐类沉淀附着在加热件上，提高加热件使用寿命和加热效率。
一实施例中，洗衣装置包括具有抽出口的箱体，洗衣筒和洗涤剂盒200均设置在箱体内。示例性的，装配盒210可以固定在箱体上，取放口210a朝向抽出口，分液件220可抽拉地设置于抽出口处。分液件220可以通过抽出口抽出或推入箱体内。洗涤剂盒200设置在供水水路上，水液流经通过注水通道200a进入放置腔200b内，经过防垢模块100软化后的软化水通过出液通道200c进入洗衣腔内。分液件220从抽出口拔出箱体，不仅便于用户向分液件220内添加洗涤剂，还便于用户维护或更换防垢装置。在处理完成后，将分液件220推入箱体内，箱体可以避免用户或其他物件误触分液件220和防垢装置等等。
一实施例中，抽出口可以位于箱体的前侧面的左上角或右上角。这样，抽出口朝向用户，用户可以在不弯腰或者小幅度弯腰的条件下，抽拉分液件220，操作便捷。
