Description

Washing equipment and washing components for washing equipment

Technical field

The present invention relates to the technical field of washing equipment, and specifically provides a washing equipment and a washing assembly used in the washing equipment.

Background technique

Washing equipment, such as washing machines, shoe washers, etc., have become almost one of the essential appliances in modern families because they can greatly facilitate users' lives.

Take shoe washing machines as an example. Existing shoe washing machines all adopt a pulsator structure. The wheel of the pulsator is equipped with multiple water-draining ribs. The water-draining ribs are evenly distributed to stir the water body and drive the shoes in the washing bucket. Moving inside, the shoes come into contact with the brush to achieve the scrubbing effect.

However, most of the existing shoe washing machines have the problem of low shoe cleaning, and some shoe washing machines also have the problem of breaking the bristles, resulting in poor user experience.

Contents of the invention

The present invention aims to solve the above technical problems, that is, to solve the problem of low cleaning degree of existing shoe washing machines.

In a first aspect, the present invention provides a washing assembly for washing equipment, the washing assembly includes a pulsator, the pulsator includes a wheel portion and a water-repellent portion provided on the wheel portion, so The water-repellent portion may be asymmetric in size and/or shape and/or distribution on the wheel portion.

In the washing assembly for washing equipment provided by the present invention, the water-repelling part of the pulsator is arranged on the wheel part in an asymmetric manner. When the water-repelling part moves with the wheel part driven by the motor, the water-repelling part The disturbance force partially applied to the water body is unbalanced for the whole impeller. In this way, the water body is disturbed by this force and will form turbulent flow. The irregularity of the turbulent flow is conducive to promoting the rotation of the laundry at the relative rotation center. At the same time, it rotates irregularly to achieve the purpose of flipping, so that all surfaces of the laundry can fully contact and rub with the water body, brushes, etc., thus improving the cleaning effect.

In the present invention, there are many ways to achieve asymmetric distribution of the water-repellent parts. For example, when the water-repellent part includes a water-repellent member, the water-repellent member may be disposed at any suitable position on the wheel part, such as away from the center of the wheel part or close to the center of the wheel part, or from the wheel part. The center of the disk part extends outward to the edge of the wheel part and so on; in addition, its shape can be regular or irregular, such as strip shape, corrugated shape, etc. When the water-repellent part includes multiple water-repellent members, if the shapes of the water-repellent members are the same, their distribution on the roulette part may be asymmetric; if the shapes, sizes and other parameters of the water-repellent members are different, Then the spacing distances in the distribution can be the same or different. When the spacing distances are the same, the shapes, sizes, etc. can be different, and so on.

It should be noted that the asymmetric method in the present invention refers to the ability to rotate the center of gravity of the impeller (the disc part and the water-repellent part are integrally formed) or the impeller assembly (the disc part and the water-repellent part are connected as an integrated structure) and its rotation In addition to some cases of non-center symmetry and non-axial symmetry, the non-coincident setting method also includes cases of axial symmetry but only one axis of symmetry. For example, in the above example of only one water-repelling member, the impeller is opposite to the other. It is symmetrical about the axis that runs through the water-repellent member, but its center of gravity is offset for the entire impeller.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, the water-repellent part includes a water-repellent member, and the water-repellent member is arranged eccentrically with respect to the center of the wheel part.

When the water-repelling part only includes one water-repelling member, the water-repelling member is set eccentrically relative to the center of the wheel part. In this way, when the impeller rotates, the location of the water-repelling member has a strong disturbing force on the water body. The growth rate of the water body is relatively large, and since there is no water-repelling member on the side opposite to the water-repelling member (relative to the center of the roulette disk), the disturbance force of the impeller on the water body is only achieved through the friction between the roulette part and the water body. In this way, turbulent flow will be formed near the water-repellent member, and the turbulent flow will impact the laundry from all directions, causing the laundry to rotate irregularly while moving clockwise or counterclockwise with the water flow, thereby causing the laundry to rotate erratically. The brush is constantly turning, which can effectively improve the cleaning effect.

It can be understood that the structure of the water-repellent member can be implemented in a variety of ways, such as hemispherical, semi-ellipsoidal, elongated, prism-shaped, etc., and any suitable shape. In addition, the surface of the water-repellent member can be Corrugated surface, curved surface, etc.

It should be noted that the rotation of the pulsator can be one-way or two-way alternately, and there can be a time interval during it; in addition, there is no limit to the number of turns of the pulsator in a single rotation, it can be less than one turn, or it can be It is one circle and above.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, the water-repelling member is a strip-shaped water-repelling rib, and the strip-shaped water-repelling rib extends radially outward from the center of the wheel portion. extend.

By arranging the water-repellent members as strip-shaped water-repellent ribs and arranging them in a direction extending radially outward from the center of the wheel part, the water-repellent effect of the water-repellent ribs can be fully exerted, and the water-repellent ribs can be provided for the movement of the water body. Sufficient disturbance force.

It should be noted that one end of the strip-shaped water-removing rib can be close to the center of the roulette portion, or can be spaced at a certain distance from the center of the roulette portion. The other end of the strip-shaped water-removing rib can extend to the edge of the roulette portion, or can be spaced at a certain distance from the edge of the roulette portion. The surface shape of the strip-shaped water-repellent ribs can be any suitable shape, such as an uneven corrugated surface, a smooth transition arc surface, etc., as long as it does not cause damage to the laundry when disturbing the water body.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, the water-repellent part includes a plurality of water-repellent members, and the plurality of water-repellent members are arranged on the roulette plate in at least a partially asymmetric manner. Partially.

When the water-repellent part includes multiple water-repellent members, there are multiple arrangements. Providing multiple water-repellent members can not only improve the water-repellent ability, but also adjust the eccentricity of the impeller through the arrangement of the water-repellent members, thereby achieving differentiated water repellency while reducing the shaking of the impeller.

The plurality of water-repellent members may be asymmetric not only in positional relationship, but also in shape and size. In addition, each water-repellent member may be asymmetric as a whole or partially asymmetric. For example, when each water-repellent member has the same size along the length and width directions and is arranged in an annular array, the height of one end of one of the water-repellent members away from the center of the wheel part is the same as the height of the other water-repellent member. The height of the end of the water member away from the center of the wheel portion is different.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, there is a distance difference between at least a part of the plurality of water-repellent members and the center of the wheel part; and/or

There is a distance difference between at least a part of the plurality of water-repellent members and an edge of the wheel portion.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, at least a part of the plurality of water-repellent members have different surface shapes.

For example, in one implementation, the water-repellent part includes two water-repellent members, one of which has a hemispherical surface shape, and the other water-repellent member has a semi-ellipsoidal surface shape, and the hemispherical structure The water-repellent member and the water-repellent member of the semi-elliptical structure can be placed on both sides of the center of the roulette portion, or one of them can be deflected at a certain angle.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, there is a height difference between the protruding heights of at least a part of the plurality of water-repellent members relative to the wheel portion.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, at least a part of the plurality of water-repellent members has a width different from other water-repellent members.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, at least a part of the plurality of water-repellent members has a length different from other water-repellent members.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, the wheel portion is provided with a plurality of installation positions, and the number of the installation positions is greater than the number of the water-repellent members. The installation positions At least one of the plurality of water-repellent members is distributed in an asymmetric manner relative to other installation positions, such that when the plurality of water-repellent members are installed at the installation position, at least a portion of the plurality of water-repellent members is distributed in an asymmetric manner.

By arranging multiple installation positions on the wheel part, at least one of the installation positions is distributed in an asymmetrical manner relative to other installation parts. The number of installation positions is greater than the number of water-repellent members, so that the water-repellent components can be adjusted The installation position of the component allows the water-repellent component to change between symmetrical and asymmetrical states. When the water-repellent component is installed as a symmetrical structure, it is suitable for washing clothes. In this way, during the washing process, the clothes move regularly with the water flow. It can prevent clothes from being entangled; when the installation position of some water-repellent components is changed so that the water-repellent components are in an asymmetric installation state, it is suitable for washing shoes, and the shoes can be turned over well under the action of differential disturbance forces, thereby improving the performance of the clothes. The degree of cleaning can make the washing equipment have multiple washing functions at the same time.

It should be noted that a plurality of installation positions detachably connected to the water-repellent component may be provided in the roulette part in advance, and the user can remove the installed water-repellent component and transfer it to other installation locations to realize the installation of the water-repellent component. Change of position.

Alternatively, the installation position can also be continuous, for example, the installation position has an arc-shaped slide rail, and the water-repellent member can be transferred to other directions under the guidance of the slide rail, similar to a swing movement.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, the water-repellent member and the wheel part are integrally formed or connected into an integrated structure.

It can be understood that the way in which the water-repellent component and the wheel disc part are connected into an integrated structure may be snap-in connection, plug-in connection, interference fit connection, screw connection, adhesion, and a combination of the above connection methods.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, the water-repellent member is provided with a plurality of protrusions at least on a side away from the wheel portion.

By arranging a plurality of protrusions on the water-repellent member, not only can the water-repellent member's flow-disturbing ability be increased, but the water-repellent member can also have a certain cleaning ability. When used with a brush, the washing ability of the washing equipment can be further improved.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, the plurality of protrusions and the water-repellent member are integrally formed or connected into an integrated structure.

It can be understood that the plurality of protrusions can be integrally formed with the water-repellent member, and further can also be integrally formed with the wheel portion. Or multiple protrusions can be connected with the water-repellent member to form an integrated structure. For example, a plurality of protrusions are formed on the base sheet, and the base sheet is connected to the water-repellent component through various methods such as bonding and embedded connection to form an integrated structure. The protrusions and the base sheet can be made by bonding or integral molding. become. The material of the protrusions and the material of the water-repellent member may be the same or different. For example, the water-repellent component can be made of high-strength plastic or metal, and the protrusions can be made of polymer materials such as silicone, silicone rubber, and rubber.

There are many shapes and arrangements of bumps. For example, the heights and thicknesses of the plurality of protrusions can be the same or different, the materials of the protrusions in different areas can be the same or different, and so on. Preferably, the protrusion is made into a columnar structure with smooth transition of end lines.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, the washing assembly further includes a brush part, and the brush part is provided on the wheel part or the water-repellent part.

It can be understood that the brush part can include one brush component or multiple brush components. The setting of the brush part should take into account the setting position of the water-repellent component, and it is necessary to ensure the effective use of differentiated water-repellent capabilities during the water-repellent process. .

The way in which the brush part is arranged on the wheel part can be one or a combination of one or more connection methods such as snap connection, screw connection, bonding, interference fit, etc. It can be understood that since the brush part is a component that is easily worn, the brush part is preferably installed in a convenient and replaceable manner.

The brush part is arranged on the water-repellent member by directly implanting the bristles into the water-repellent member, or by first implanting the bristles into the base body and then fixing the base body to the water-repellent member.

In some possible embodiments of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, the brush part is disposed on the wheel part and includes at least one brush member, and the brush member includes a brush along the wheel disk. A plurality of radially arranged sections of a portion, wherein the scrubbing capacity of the sections away from the center of the wheel portion is greater than the scrubbing capacity of the sections close to the center of the wheel portion.

By arranging the brush member into a structure with different sections having different washing abilities, when washing shoes, since the hardness and weight of the soles are often greater than the hardness and weight of the uppers, when the shoes turn over with the water flow, The probability of the sole facing outward is much greater than the probability of the upper facing outward. Therefore, by making the brush so that the cleaning ability of the section away from the rotation center is greater than the cleaning capacity of the section close to the rotation center, the upper mainly interacts with the upper during the washing process. The bristles with relatively weak washing ability are in contact, and the soles are mainly in contact with the bristles with relatively strong washing ability, thereby achieving targeted washing, which can not only improve the overall cleaning degree of the shoes, but also appropriately enhance the strength of the bristles that have more contact with the soles , which can reduce the risk of the bristles being broken and extend the service life of the brush.

It can be understood that the scrubbing ability of the brush is related to the material and size of the bristles. When the same material is used, the strength and hardness of thicker bristles are higher than that of finer bristles. Therefore, by changing the thickness of the bristles, it can Change the scrubbing ability of the bristles. In addition, when the diameter of the bristles is the same, the scrubbing ability of a brush composed of bristles with relatively large material hardness is greater than that of a brush composed of bristles with relatively small material hardness. When the diameter and material of the bristles are the same, the scrubbing ability of a brush with longer bristles is smaller than that of a brush with shorter bristles. Furthermore, the thickness, length, material and other factors of the bristles can also be combined to construct brush components with different scrubbing capabilities.

In some possible embodiments of the above-mentioned washing assembly for a washing device, the diameter of the bristles in the section away from the center of the wheel part is larger than the diameter of the bristles in the section close to the center of the wheel part.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, the material hardness of the bristles in the section away from the center of the wheel part is greater than the material hardness of the bristles in the section close to the axis of the wheel part. hardness.

In some possible implementations of the above-mentioned washing assembly for washing equipment, the plurality of sections are arranged continuously or at intervals.

It can be understood that the brush component can be an integral structure or a separate structure. When the brush member has an integrated structure, the bristles of multiple sections may be continuous or spaced apart. For example, on the same substrate, a bristle section is arranged every 5cm, and the scrubbing ability of each bristle section is gradually strengthened in the direction outward from the center. Or, on the same substrate, each bristle section is arranged continuously. Alternatively, the bristles of each section are planted on a base plate, and the base plates are not connected to each other, and multiple base plates and their bristles constitute the brush component.

In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a washing equipment, which includes a body and a washing component arranged in the body. The washing component is a washing equipment according to any of the preceding technical solutions. washing components.

Those skilled in the art can understand that since the above-mentioned washing equipment is equipped with the washing component described in any of the previous technical solutions, the washing equipment has all the technical effects that can be obtained by the aforementioned washing component, which will not be discussed here. Repeat.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

The embodiment of the present invention is mainly explained by taking a shoe washing machine as an example.

The pulsator structure of the existing shoe washing machine continues the pulsator structure of the washing machine, and adopts uniformly distributed water-repelling ribs, that is, multiple water-repelling ribs are arrayed along the circumference of the pulsator, and the shape, size, and spacing of each water-repelling rib are The distances are all the same, and when one of the water-repelling ribs is rotated around the center of the wheel part, it can overlap with the other water-repelling ribs one by one.

Research has found that in the existing pulsator scheme with evenly distributed water-repelling ribs, the water body moves regularly under the disturbance of the pulsator. When the laundry is an object with uneven weight distribution such as shoes, the laundry itself The turnover is very limited, which affects the washing effect.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a washing equipment and a washing component thereof after continuous attempts and experiments. The washing equipment includes a body and a washing component arranged in the body. The washing component includes a washing bucket and a pulsator. The pulsator It includes a roulette portion and a water-repellent portion provided on the roulette portion, wherein one or more of the size, shape, and distribution of the water-repellent portion on the roulette portion are asymmetric, thereby providing water bodies with The differentiated disturbance force breaks the regular movement state of the water body and forms turbulent flow with irregular movement, which can act on the items to be washed from multiple directions, causing the items to be washed to turn over irregularly, so that they are in contact with the brush. The contact probability tends to be balanced, which can effectively improve the overall cleanliness of the laundry and avoid the problem of partial washing being insufficient and partial washing being excessive.

Example 1

Figure 1 is a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of a shoe washing machine provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the shoe washing machine includes a washing bucket 1 and a pulsator 2 arranged at the inner bottom of the washing bucket 1 . The pulsator 2 is connected with a motor 3, and the motor 3 drives the pulsator 2 to rotate in one direction or two directions, so as to disturb the movement of the water body and drive the movement of the shoes in the bucket.

The impeller 2 includes a wheel portion 21 and a water-repellent portion and a brush portion 23 provided on the wheel portion 21 . The water-repellent part in this embodiment includes a water-repellent member, which is a first water-repellent member 22 . The first water-repellent member 22 is arranged eccentrically relative to the center of the wheel portion 21 .

As shown in FIG. 1 , the surface of the first water-repellent member 22 provided in this embodiment is an arc-shaped surface and has a strip-like structure extending in an outward direction from the center of the wheel portion 21 . In this embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 221 are provided on the surface of the side away from the wheel part 21 of the water-repellent member. The protrusions 221 are in the form of a short and thick columnar structure, and the ends of the protrusions 221 are curved surfaces to avoid scratching. Shoes waiting to be washed. The protrusion 221 in this embodiment is integrally formed with the first water-repellent member 22 .

Alternatively, the water-repellent member in this embodiment can also be made into strip-shaped water-repellent ribs, which extend radially outward from the center of the roulette portion 21, such as extending to the edge of the roulette portion 21. , as shown in Figure 3.

In this embodiment, the first water-repellent member 22 and the wheel portion 21 are integrally formed, and the processing process is simple and convenient. Alternatively, the first water-repellent member 22 may also be connected to the roulette portion 21 to form an integrated structure through screw connection, snap connection, bonding, or other connection methods.

The brush part 23 in this embodiment includes three brush members, one of which is not shown. The three brush members are adjacently arranged and have an included angle. The arrangement method can be referred to as shown in FIG. 3 . Taking the brush component on the right side in Figure 1 as an example, the brush component includes a plurality of sections arranged along the radial direction of the wheel portion 21. The brush component in this embodiment includes three sections. The segment division is shown in Figure 3. The three sections are respectively a first section 231, a second section 232 and a third section 233 arranged sequentially in a radially outward direction from the center of the wheel portion, wherein the diameter of the bristles of the first section 231 Minimally, the diameter of the bristles of the second section 232 is greater than the diameter of the bristles of the first section 231, the diameter of the bristles of the third section 233 is greater than the diameter of the bristles of the second section 232, and the length of the bristles of the three sections Similarly, in this way, the scrubbing ability of the side away from the center of the wheel portion 21 of the brush member is greater than the scrubbing capability of the side close to the center of the wheel portion 21 .

Alternatively, the scrubbing ability of the corresponding section can also be changed by changing the material hardness of the bristles of each section. You can also change the scrubbing ability of the corresponding section by changing the material hardness and diameter of the bristles at the same time.

In this embodiment, the first section 231, the second section 232 and the third section 233 are continuous, and the spacing between each section is the same as the spacing of the bristles inside each section.

Alternatively, the first section 231 , the second section 232 and the third section 233 can also be arranged at intervals, or at least two sections are arranged at intervals.

It can be understood that the end of the brush member close to the center of the wheel portion 21 can have a certain distance from the center of the wheel portion 21 , as shown in FIG. 1 ; or it can also be between the center of the wheel portion 21 and the center of the wheel portion 21 . are close together, as shown in Figure 3. In addition, one end of the brush member away from the center of the wheel portion 21 can extend to the edge of the wheel portion 21 , as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3 ; or it can also have a distance from the edge of the wheel portion 21 .

In addition, when there are multiple brush members, parameters such as size and bristle length of each brush member may be different.

Example 2

Figure 2 is a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of the shoe washing machine provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 , in the washing assembly in this embodiment, the arrangement of the brush part 23 is the same as that in Embodiment 1. The difference lies in that the surface shape of the first water-repellent member 22 in this embodiment is different from the surface shape of the water-repellent member in Embodiment 1.

As shown in FIG. 2 , there is a relatively obvious height difference on the surface of the first water-repellent member 22 in this embodiment, in which the height of the first water-repellent member 22 near the center of the roulette portion 21 is higher than that of the side near the roulette portion 21 . The height of one side of the edge of part 21 makes it easy to form turbulent flow in and around the area where the two parts meet. The turbulent flow acts on the shoes in the bucket and causes the shoes to turn over in disorder, thereby causing all sides of the shoes to turn over. All have the opportunity to come into contact with the brush.

It can be understood that the above embodiments are only illustrative, and the surface shape of the first water-repellent member 22 can also be corrugated with obvious height differences, and the number of corrugated sections can be arbitrary, such as 2 sections, 3 sections, or 4 sections. etc.

It should be noted that the surface shape of the first water-repellent member 22 mainly refers to the surface shape of the side of the water-repellent member away from the roulette portion 21 .

Example 3

In order to improve the water-repellent ability of the water-repellent part, the number of water-repellent components can be increased.

Figure 3 is a schematic top view of the shoe washing machine provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3, the wheel portion 21 is provided with two water-repellent members, namely a first water-repellent member 22 and a second water-repellent member 24. Turn clockwise from the first water-repellent member 22 to the second water-repellent member 24. The required rotation angle of the position of the water-repellent member 24 is less than 180°, that is, the arrangement positions of the first water-repellent member 22 and the second water-repellent member 24 are asymmetrical with respect to the center of the wheel portion 21 .

In addition, three brush members are provided in this embodiment, two of which are adjacent to each other, and the other brush member is placed between the first water-repellent member 22 and the second water-repellent member 24 .

The structure of the brush component in this embodiment is described with reference to Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2.

Further, the widths of the first water-repellent member 22 and the second water-repellent member 24 may be different, for example, the size of the first water-repellent member 22 along its width direction is reduced by half, so that the size of the first water-repellent member 22 is close to The size of the brush component, but its installation position does not need to change.

Example 4

Figure 4 is a schematic top view of the shoe washing machine provided in Embodiment 4 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4 , the arrangement and structure of the brush member in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 3. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 3 is that there is a distance difference between the first water-repellent member 22 and the second water-repellent member 24 in this embodiment and the center of the wheel portion 21 .

As shown in FIG. 4 , the distance between the first water-repellent member 22 and the center of the wheel portion 21 is greater than the distance between the second water-repellent member 24 and the center of the wheel portion 21 .

It can be understood that there may also be a distance difference between the first water-repellent member 22 and the second water-repellent member 24 and the edge of the wheel portion 21; or it may be that the first water-repellent member 22 and the second water-repellent member 24 There is a distance difference from both the center and the edge of the wheel portion 21 .

As shown in FIG. 4 , the first water-repellent member 22 and the second water-repellent member 24 have different lengths, both extend to the edge of the wheel portion 21 and are at different distances from the center of the wheel portion 21 . It can be understood that when the first water-repelling member 22 and the second water-repelling member 24 have the same length, the first water-repelling member 22 can be slightly closer to the center of the wheel portion 21 and the second water-repelling member 24 can be slightly closer to the wheel. The edges of the disk portion 21 can also be arranged asymmetrically.

Example 5

Figure 5 is a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of the shoe washing machine provided in Embodiment 5 of the present invention.

Example 7

For traditional washing machines, the washing machine needs to avoid entanglement of clothes during the washing process, and regular flowing water is conducive to preventing clothes from getting entangled. Therefore, the washing machine is suitable for using a pulsator with evenly distributed water-repellent members. For shoe washing machines, the local pulsator of the water-repellent component will drive the shoes to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise with the water flow, but rarely flip over, which often leads to the problem of incomplete washing. By using the asymmetrical structure of the present invention, The distribution scheme can effectively improve the degree of cleaning.

So how to make the washing machine have the laundry function and the shoe washing function at the same time, or how to make the shoe washing machine have the washing function and the shoe washing function at the same time, is a technical problem that needs to be further solved by the present invention.

To this end, embodiments of the present invention provide a multifunctional washing device that can switch between washing soft cloths such as clothes and toys and washing hard shoes.

Specifically, the washing equipment in this embodiment includes a body and a washing component disposed inside the body. The washing component includes a washing bucket and a pulsator disposed at the inner bottom of the washing bucket. The pulsator includes a wheel portion and a plurality of water-repellent members provided on the wheel portion. The wheel portion is provided with a plurality of installation positions, the number of installation positions is greater than the number of water-repellent components, and at least part of the water-repellent components can be detachably connected to any installable installation position. For example, there are 5 installation positions provided on the wheel part, 4 of which extend along the axis direction of the coordinate axis, and the other installation position is located in one of the quadrants. When clothes, sheets, etc. need to be washed, four water-repellent members are respectively installed at four installation positions extending along the axial direction of the coordinate axis, so that each water-repellent member is distributed in a symmetrical manner. When the shoes need to be washed, the two water-repellent members adjacent to the installation positions in the quadrant can be removed, and one of the water-repellent members can be installed to the installation position in the quadrant, so that each water-repellent member can be Distributed in a symmetrical manner.

The installation position in the above example is predetermined, and the user can install the water-repellent component to the appropriate installation position as needed. Alternatively, the installation position may also be continuous, and the water-repellent member may be configured to slide relative to the wheel portion on the continuous installation position, thereby changing the installation position of the water-repellent member relative to other water-repellent members. For example, a slide rail is provided on the pulsator, and a chute and a snap-in structure are provided on the water-repellent component. When the water-repellent component slides (swings) relative to the wheel part until it moves to the appropriate position, the snap-in structure allows the water-repellent component to move to the appropriate position. The relative positions of the two are fixed, so that the installation position of the water-repellent component can be changed more easily, thereby allowing the washing equipment to conveniently switch between the laundry mode and the shoe washing mode.

Each of the above embodiments is explained by taking a shoe washing machine as an example. It can be understood that when the present invention is applied to a washing machine, the washing function and the shoe washing function can be integrated. When the present invention is applied to a dishwasher, for example, when the main body of the washing equipment is a sink of the dishwasher, the pulsator of the present invention is provided at the bottom of the sink, thereby generating water flow that can impact the tableware from all directions, thereby improving dishwashing efficiency. The cleaning ability of the machine. When the washing equipment is a toy washing machine, such as when washing plush toys, the number of brushes can be appropriately reduced or the brushes can be removed, leaving only the asymmetrically arranged pulsator, which can cause the toy to flip during the washing process, thereby improving the quality of the toy. Other surfaces can fully contact and rub with water to improve the cleaning effect.
