随着科技的发展和生活水平的提高,家用电器的功能也越来越多。以洗衣机为例,当前的洗衣机很多都同时具有蒸汽洗功能(或称空气洗)和烘干功能,蒸汽洗功能通过雾化发生器实现,雾化发生器通过雾化管将自身产生的蒸汽向洗涤桶内喷射而对桶内的衣物的进行处理,从而实现对衣物的护理,如除皱、祛除异味等。烘干功能则通过烘干通道向洗涤桶内送入大量被加热后的空气而实现衣物的快速烘干。With the development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, household appliances have more and more functions. Taking washing machines as an example, many of the current washing machines have both steam washing function (or air washing) and drying functions. The steam washing function is realized by the atomization generator.

如图2、图3和图5所示,在一种可能的实施方式中,外壳41包括壳体411、第一壳盖412和第二壳盖413,壳体411内设置有隔板417,隔板417将壳体411分隔成雾化腔42和安装腔43,壳体411底面对应雾化腔42的一侧设置有进液口4112和出雾口4113,壳体411侧面对应安装腔43的位置设置有进风口4111,进风口4111内设置有风机48,隔板417具有豁口4171,风机48将壳体411外的空气引入壳体411后大部分空气通过豁口4171到达雾化腔42。壳体411底部还设置有透水孔(图中未示出),雾化元件44优选的为超声波雾化片,超声波雾化器设置于壳体411外部并通过雾化片支架416密封连接于该透水孔处,用于将雾化腔42中的液体雾化为水雾。As shown in FIG. 2 , FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 , in a possible implementation manner, the
参照图7和图8,第一壳盖412上设置有横向筋板414和竖向筋板415,横向筋板414与第一壳盖412的三个依次相邻的内侧面固定连接,竖向筋板415与第一壳盖412的顶面以及上述三个依次相邻的内侧面中两个相对的内侧面固定连接,从而横向筋板414、竖向筋板415以及三个依次相邻的内侧面共同围设形成连通腔,第二壳盖413能够盖设在连通腔上。参照图3、图6和图7,横向筋板414上对应雾化腔42和出雾口4113开设有第一连通孔4141和第二连通孔4142,雾化腔42通过第一连通孔4141与连通腔连接,出雾口4113通过一连接管46与第二连通孔4142连接。横向筋板414的底面向下还延伸有挡风板4143,挡风板4143延伸至雾化腔42内并对应于豁口4171设置。7 and 8 , the
参照图4和图6,在一种可能的实施方式中,阀机构45包括驱动部451和密封块452,驱动部451与密封块452连接,并能够驱动密封块452在连通腔内往复滑动。如驱动部451为气缸、电缸或直线电机,驱动部451的输出轴与密封块452固定连接,从而驱动密封块452在连通腔中滑动。密封块452的底面能够同时覆盖第一连通孔4141和第二连通孔4142,并且覆盖后保持相对较好的密封。4 and 6, in a possible embodiment, the
返回参照图5,安装腔43内正对进风口4111的位置还设置有控制器47,该控制器47分别与超声波雾化片、驱动部451和风机48连接,用以分别控制超声波雾化片、驱动部451以及风机48的启停。Referring back to FIG. 5 , a
上述设置方式的优点在于:通过将连通腔设置于第一盖体上,而将出雾口4113设置于壳体411底面,进而将出雾口4113与第二连通孔4142使用连通管连接,使得雾化腔42、连通腔、连通管形成一条完整的出雾通道,在加上风机48的作用,使得水雾的排出自然强劲,出雾口4113设置在外壳41底面则方便与出雾管7的连接,使出雾管7无需弯折便可与外筒3连接,缩短了水雾的喷射行程,提高了水雾的喷射效果。密封块452能够将第一连通孔4141和第二连通孔4142同时覆盖密封的设置方式,使得阀机构45对湿热空气的阻断密封效果更好。将进风口4111对应于安装腔43设置,并且在正对进风口4111的位置设置控制器47,还能够在雾化发生器4工作时,利用风机48为控制器47进行散热,提高控制器47的工作寿命和工作稳定性。横向筋板414的底面对应豁口4171延伸挡风板4143的设置,使得风机48吹出的风在经过豁口4171绕行,从而提高风对水雾的携带效果,达到水雾快速排出的目的,避免风吹出而水雾残留在雾化腔42的情况出现。The advantage of the above arrangement is that: by setting the communication cavity on the first cover body, the
雾化元件44采用超声波雾化片,雾化发生器4利用电子高频震荡(振荡频率为1.7MHz或2.4MHz等超过听觉范围的频率,该电子振荡对人体及动物绝无伤害),通过雾化片的高频谐振,将液态水分子结构打散而产生自然飘逸的水雾,水雾化为1至100微米的超微粒子,均匀,不需加热或添加任何化学试剂。与加热雾化方式比较,能源节省了90%。另外在雾化过程中将释放大量的负离子,其与空气中漂浮的烟雾、粉尘等产生静电式反应,使其沉淀,同时还能有效去除甲醛、一氧化碳、细菌等有害物质,微米级的水分子可以更快的吸附在衣物上,使得衣物护理体验更佳。The
需要说明的是,上述优选的实施方式仅仅用于阐述本发明的原理,并非旨在于限制本发明的保护范围。在不偏离本发明原理的前提下,本领域技术人员可以对上述设置方式进行调整,以便本发明能够适用于更加具体的应用场景。It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. On the premise of not departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above setting manners, so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.
例如,在一种可替换的实施方式中,阀机构45的设置形式并非一成不变,本领域技术人员可以对其进行调整,只要其满足能够密封第一连通孔4141和/或第二连通孔4142的条件即可。例如,还可以选取普通电机作为驱动部451,而在驱动部451与密封块452之间添加传动构件完成密封块452的往复滑动。如传动构件可以为滚珠丝杠等。再如,密封块452还可以设置成只密封第一连通孔4141和第二连通孔4142中的一个,同样可以实现防止湿热空气逆流的功能。For example, in an alternative embodiment, the setting form of the
再如,在另一种可替换的实施方式中,壳体411内可以不设置控制器47,而是采用滚筒洗衣机的控制单元来控制驱动部451、风机48和超声波雾化片的启停,这种设置方式并未偏离本发明的原理。For another example, in another alternative embodiment, the
再如,在另一种可替换的实施方式中,壳体411上还可以不设置风机48,而是将风机48设置在壳体411内或其他位置,只要该设置位置能够使水雾有效地从雾化腔42中排出即可。如,风机48还可以设置在出雾管7上等。For another example, in another alternative embodiment, the
再如,在另一种可替换的实施方式中,本领域技术人员也可以对连通腔的设置位置进行调整,只要连通腔的设置方式能够满足于雾化腔42彼此独立的条件即可。例如,连通腔还可以设置在壳体411内部,而非第一壳盖412上。For another example, in another alternative embodiment, those skilled in the art can also adjust the arrangement position of the communication cavity, as long as the arrangement of the communication cavity can satisfy the condition that the
再如,在另一种可替换的实施方式中,出雾口4113的设置位置并非唯一,其还可以设置在壳体411的侧壁上、第一壳盖412上或第二壳盖413上等,相应地只需调整第二连通孔4142和连接管46的设置位置即可。这种出雾口4113的设置位置的调整并未偏离本发明的原理。For another example, in another alternative embodiment, the setting position of the
再如,在另一种可替换的实施方式中,雾化元件44除超声波雾化片外,显然也可以选用常用的加热元件等方式,只要该雾化元件44的设置形式和设置位置能够是雾化腔42中的水产生水雾即可。For another example, in another alternative embodiment, in addition to the ultrasonic atomizing sheet, the
当然,上述可以替换的实施方式之间、以及可以替换的实施方式和优选的实施方式之间还可以交叉配合使用,从而组合出新的实施方式以适用于更加具体的应用场景。Of course, the above-mentioned alternative embodiments, as well as between the alternative embodiments and the preferred embodiments, can also be used in cross-combination, so that new embodiments can be combined to be suitable for more specific application scenarios.
下面参照图1至图8,对一种可能的实施方式中,滚筒洗衣机的工作过程进行描述。1 to 8 , in a possible implementation manner, the working process of the front-loading washing machine will be described.
在一种可能的实施方式中,用户在滚筒洗衣机的控制面板上选择了烘干功能选项后,烘干模块5启动,将空气加热后源源不断地送入外筒3和内筒2进行循环。与此同时,在接收到烘干功能的启动指令后,控制器47控制驱动部451启动,驱动部451带动密封块452滑动而将第一连通孔4141和第二连通孔4142同时密封,阻止筒内的湿热空气通过出雾管7逆流至雾化发生器4。待烘干功能结束后,如在接收到滚筒洗衣机的门盖开启的指令后,控制器47再次控制驱动部451启动,驱动部451带动密封块452反向滑动而从第一连通孔4141和第二连通孔4142上方撤除,使第一连通孔4141和第二连通孔4142连通。In a possible implementation, after the user selects the drying function option on the control panel of the drum washing machine, the drying module 5 is activated, and the heated air is continuously fed into the
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。So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, however, those skilled in the art can easily understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments.
