The washing equipment uses the internal water flow to generate electric energy, and then provides electric energy for the luminescent lamp to illuminate the interior of the washing equipment. Since it does not need to introduce an external power supply into the working area of the washing equipment, it reduces the difficulty of designing and processing the washing equipment and reduces the production cost. cost, to illuminate the interior of the washing machine. However, since this design scheme must use the kinetic energy of the washing water to generate electricity, the layout of the power supply modules in this scheme is relatively limited, and the available range is relatively narrow.

Correspondingly, a new technical solution is needed in the art to solve the above problems.

Contents of the invention

In order to solve the technical problems of inflexible arrangement of power supply modules and narrow application areas in the prior art, the present invention provides a washing device, which includes: a circulation assembly, which includes a circulation pipe that communicates with the washing chamber of the washing device and a circulation pump that circulates the washing water in the washing chamber through the circulation pipe; a self-generating module that includes a guide portion having a first end and a second end, a coil wound on an outer side of the guide portion, and an arrangement a magnetic member within the guide portion and freely movable between the first end and the second end, wherein the self-generating module is fixed on the impeller of the circulation pump and positioned such that the impeller The rotation of the magnetic part can drive the magnetic part to move between the first end and the second end to generate electricity; or the self-generating module is fixed in the circulation pipe, and a first a magnetic attractor, the self-generating module and the first magnetic attractor are positioned so that when the impeller rotates, the first magnetic attractor can attract the magnetic member at the first end and the second end move between them to generate electricity.

Those skilled in the art can understand that, in the washing equipment of the present invention, a circulation component and a self-generating module are included. The circulation assembly includes a circulation pipe and a circulation pump, the circulation pipe communicates with the washing chamber of the washing equipment, and the circulation pump circulates the washing water in the washing chamber through the circulation pipe. Therefore, the circulation component realizes the circulation of the washing water in the washing chamber in the washing equipment. The self-generating module includes a guide part having a first end and a second end, a coil wound on the outside of the guide part, and a magnetic part arranged in the guide part and freely movable between the first end and the second end. Using the principle of magnetoelectricity generation, current can be generated in the coil of the self-generating module. An arrangement of the self-generating module is as follows: the self-generating module is fixed on the impeller of the circulating pump, and the self-generating module is positioned so that the magnetic member can be driven between the first end and the second end when the impeller rotates Moving, through the movement of the magnetic part between the first end and the second end, the coil can cut the magnetic induction line, so as to generate current in the coil, that is, realize the function of generating electricity by the self-generating module. Another arrangement of the self-generating module is: the self-generating module is fixed in the circulation pipe, and the impeller is provided with a first magnetic attractor, and the self-generating module and the first magnetic attractor are positioned so that when the impeller rotates, the first The magnetic attractor can attract the magnetic piece to move between the first end and the second end, and the coil can cut the magnetic induction line through the movement of the magnetic piece between the first end and the second end, so as to generate a current in the coil, and also realize The role of the self-generating module to generate electricity. It can be seen that the self-generating module in the washing equipment utilizes the kinetic energy of the circulation pump to generate electric energy, and the arrangement of the self-generating module is more flexible, and its application range is wider.

The first end of the self-generating module is positioned away from the center of the impeller, and the second end is positioned close to the center of the impeller. When the impeller of the circulating pump rotates at high speed, the centrifugal force will cause the magnetic part to move to On the first end remote from the center of the impeller. Since the position of the first end in the vertical direction can be continuously or intermittently higher than the position of the second end when the impeller rotates, when the circulation pump stops rotating, the magnetic member will move to the vertical direction due to the force of gravity on the second terminal at the low end. In addition, positioning the self-generating module so that when the impeller rotates, the position of the first end in the vertical direction can be continuously or intermittently higher than the position of the second end, which can satisfy various arrangements of the circulation pump.

When the impeller rotates to drive the first magnetic attractor close to the first end, the magnetic part of the first magnetic attractor moves to the first end; when the impeller rotates to drive the first magnetic attractor away from the first end, the magnetic part will move to the first end by gravity second end. Therefore, every time the impeller rotates once, the magnetic member reciprocates once between the first end and the second end.

Therefore, the circulation pump 131 communicates with the washing chamber 12 through the water inlet pipe 1321 and the water outlet pipe 1322 respectively.

As shown in FIG. 1 , in one or more embodiments, the circulation pump 131 includes a motor (not shown in the figure) and an impeller 1311 . The impellers 1311 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the circulating pump 131 and extend radially along the circulating pump 131. The end near the center of the impeller 1311 is called the impeller center end 1311b, and the end near the outer circumference of the impeller 1311 is called the impeller peripheral end. 1311a. Based on the orientation shown in FIG. 1 , the impeller 1311 on the circulation pump 131 is arranged in the vertical direction. Alternatively, the impeller 1311 may also be arranged in a horizontal direction. When the washing device 1 is running, the circulation pump 131 is started, and the motor (not shown in the figure) drives the impeller 1311 to rotate, and the washing water in the washing chamber 12 is circulated through the circulation pipe 132 .

The guide portion 141 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. Alternatively, the guide part 141 may also adopt other suitable shapes, such as a hollow long cylinder. The guide portion 141 has opposite first and second ends 141 a and 141 b along its longitudinal direction (horizontal direction shown in FIG. 2 ). The inside of the guide part 141 is a cavity structure, and the inner surface of the cavity structure is set as a smooth surface.

Specifically, the coil 143 is connected to a circuit board 182 through a wire 181 , and the active power module 15 is connected to the circuit board 182 . Since the reciprocating motion of the magnetic member 142 inside the guide portion 141 is an intermittent and unstable motion with an unfixed speed and frequency, the magnitude of the current in the coil 143 will also be unstable. The circuit board 182 is configured to control the voltage to prevent momentary high voltage from being applied to the first sterilization component 15 .

Preferably, the circulating pump 131 has an intermittent working mode, and in the intermittent working mode, it can work intermittently at a high frequency. When the circulating pump 131 rotates at a high speed, the magnetic element 142 in the self-generating module 14 disposed on the impeller 1311 moves inside the guide portion 141 due to centrifugal force and abuts against the end of the first end 141a. When the circulation pump 131 stops rotating, the magnetic part 141 will move to the end of the second end 141b due to the effect of gravity (when the impeller 1311 is vertically arranged, it is not excluded that the magnetic part 141 on the impeller 1311 will continue to move due to the effect of gravity. maintained at the first end 141a). The above moving process of the magnetic member 142 causes the coil 143 to cut the magnetic induction line and generate current in the coil 143 . Since the circulating pump 131 can work in the intermittent working mode, the magnetic member 141 can reciprocate between the first end 141 a and the second end 141 b inside the guide part 141 to generate electricity in the coil 143 .

Alternatively, the second magnetic attractor 17 can also be arranged at other suitable stationary positions, for example, on the housing 11 near the rotation track of the second end 141b or on the support of the circulating pump 131; or near the first end 141a Magnetic material is coated on the housing 11 at the rotation track or the bracket of the circulation pump 131 to replace the second magnetic attractor 17 . The second magnetic attractor 17 has a force to attract the magnetic member 142 to move toward the second end 141b, so that the magnetic member 142 moves to the second end 141b when the circulation pump 131 stops rotating. By arranging the second magnetic attractor 17 , the magnetic member 142 can be driven to move toward the second end 141b inside the guide portion, so as to increase the moving speed of the magnetic member 142 and improve the power generation effect of the self-generating module 14 .

Fig. 7 is a schematic plan view of a third embodiment of the arrangement of self-generating modules of the washing equipment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7 , in a third alternative embodiment, a first magnetic attractor 16 is disposed on the impeller 1311 , and the first magnetic attractor 16 is disposed on the impeller outer peripheral end 1311 a near the outer periphery of the impeller 1311 .

The self-generating module 14 is arranged on the air duct close to the first magnetic attractor 16 , and the self-generating module 14 is arranged along the tangential direction of the movement track of the first magnetic attractor 16 . When the circulating pump 131 rotates at a high speed, the impeller 1311 rotates with the first magnetic attractor 16, and when the first magnetic attractor 16 passes through the first self-generating module 14, the magnetic member 142 is attracted at the first end 141a and the second end 141b reciprocating motion between them.

Continue referring to FIG. 7 , in one or more embodiments.
