The functional solution in the present application refers to a solution having the action of sterilization, deodorization, and the like, and may be, for example, a sterilization solution, an odor removal solution, and the like.

Referring to fig. 1, a laundry care machine 100 of the present application includes: a case 1, a boiler 2, a functional solution storage tank 3, and a water tank 5. In other examples, the laundry care machine 100 further comprises a hot air device 4. The hot air device 4 is arranged in the inner container 11, and the hot air device 4 is used for generating hot air and delivering the hot air into the inner container 11 of the shell 1 to dry clothes.

In the embodiment of the application, the shell 1 is internally provided with a clothes care chamber 12, the boiler 2 is internally provided with a steam generating chamber 20, and the steam generating chamber 20 is communicated with the clothes care chamber 12; a water tank 5 communicating with the boiler 2 and supplying water to the steam generation chamber 20, and a functional solution storage tank 3 communicating with the boiler 2 and supplying a functional solution to the steam generation chamber 20; the steam generating chamber 20 serves to mix water supplied from the water tank 5 with the functional solution supplied from the functional solution storage box 3 and form a mixed solution, and the boiler 2 serves to heat the mixed solution to cause the steam generating chamber 20 to generate steam and to cause the steam to enter the laundry care chamber 12.

In the above scheme, the water tank 5 is arranged to supply water to the steam generating chamber 20, the functional solution storage box 3 is arranged to supply the functional solution to the steam generating chamber 20, and the boiler 2 can heat the mixed solution of the functional solution and the water to form steam and supply the steam to the clothes care chamber 12. The functional solution is filled in the clothes care cavity 12 in the form of steam micromolecules, and can quickly and efficiently permeate into the deep part of the fiber layer of the clothes, so that the deep care of the clothes is realized; and because the steam micromolecules of the functional solution are thermal molecules, the fabric has stronger permeability to clothes, and the fabric has better nursing effect on the clothes.

On the other hand, the steam molecules of the functional solution are gaseous media, and can be filled in the clothes care chamber 12 to cover the clothes, so that the clothes can be more uniformly and laborsavingly cared, and the clothes care efficiency is improved.

Wherein, the housing 1 is an appearance member of the whole laundry care machine 100, and may be made of metal or nonmetal. Optionally, the shell 1 may include an outer shell 10 and an inner container 11 disposed inside the outer shell 10, and a clothes care chamber 12 is formed inside the inner container 11; the garment to be treated may be suspended within the garment treatment chamber 12 by hangers such as hangers 16. There is a space between the outer shell 10 and the inner container 11 to form an accommodation chamber 13.

Fig. 2 is an exploded schematic view of a boiler in a laundry care machine according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 3 is a sectional view of the boiler in the laundry care machine according to the embodiment of the present application;

in one possible embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the boiler 2 has a steam generating chamber 20 therein, the boiler 2 has a first liquid inlet 21 communicating with the steam generating chamber 20, and the functional solution storage tank 3 has a storage tank liquid outlet 31 (refer to fig. 12 described below); a spray head assembly 22 is disposed in the first liquid inlet 21, a liquid passage 23 is disposed in the spray head assembly 22, and two ends of the liquid passage 23 are respectively communicated with the steam generation chamber 20 and the storage box liquid outlet 31, that is, one end of the liquid passage 23 is communicated with the storage box liquid outlet 31, and the other end of the liquid passage 23 is communicated with the steam generation chamber 20, for example, extends into the steam generation chamber 20. Thus, the functional solution in the functional solution storage box 3 passes through the storage box outlet 31 and the liquid passage 23 of the spray head assembly 22 to enter the steam generating chamber 20.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1 and 3, the functional solution storage box 3 (e.g., storage box outlet) is in communication with the spray head assembly 22 via a first conduit 24, i.e., one end of the first conduit 24 is in communication with the top end of the fluid channel 23, and the other end of the first conduit 24 is in communication with the storage box outlet 31. Alternatively, in order to make the functional solution in the functional solution storage tank 3 flow into the steam generation chamber 20 more smoothly, a first pump 25 may be provided on the first pipe 24.

With continued reference to fig. 1, optionally, the boiler 2 further has a second inlet port 26 communicating with the steam generating chamber 20, and the water tank 5 has a water tank outlet port 51, the second inlet port 26 communicating with the water tank outlet port 51. Specifically, the water tank outlet 51 is communicated with the second liquid inlet 26 through a second pipeline 52, that is, one end of the second pipeline 52 is communicated with the second liquid inlet 26, and the other end of the second pipeline 52 is communicated with the water tank outlet 51. Alternatively, in order to make the water in the water tank 5 flow into the steam generation chamber 20 more smoothly, a second pump 53 may be provided on the second pipe 52.

Thus, the functional solution in the functional solution storage box 3 is introduced into the steam generating chamber 20 through the first pipe 24 and the first pump 25, the water in the water tank 5 is introduced into the steam generating chamber 20 through the second pipe 52 and the second pump 53, and the functional solution and the water may be mixed in the steam generating chamber 20 to dilute the functional solution.

Optionally, referring to fig. 3, a heating plate 27 may be further disposed on an outer cavity wall of the steam generation cavity 20, and the heating plate 27 heats the mixed liquid in the steam generation cavity 20 after being powered on, so as to change the mixed liquid into small molecule steam of the mixed liquid. Optionally, the boiler 2 may be provided with a boiler outlet 28, the boiler outlet 28 being in communication with the garment care chamber 12, such that the small molecule steam may enter the garment care chamber 12 through the boiler outlet 28 and escape to various corners of the garment care chamber 12, thereby enclosing the garment to be cared for.

The structure of the head assembly 22 will be described with reference to fig. 3 and 4.

As described above, the liquid passage 23 includes the first passage section 231, and the cross-sectional area of the first passage section 231 is reduced in the flow direction K (see the dotted arrow in fig. 4) of the functional solution, so that the functional solution flowing out of the storage box liquid outlet 31 is sprayed into the steam generating chamber 20. By spraying the functional solution into the steam generating chamber 20 in the form of mist, the functional solution can be sprayed divergently to be dissolved into the water contained in the steam generating chamber 20 more quickly and effectively.

The cross-section of the first channel section 231 in the above-described aspect means a cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the first channel section 231. While the cross-sectional area of the first channel section 231 decreases in the flow direction K of the functional solution, the decrease may be gradual or stepwise.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 4, the nozzle assembly 22 includes a nozzle core 222 and a nozzle 221 inserted into the first liquid inlet 21, the nozzle 221 has a through hole 2211 therein, a portion of the through hole 2211 facing the inside of the steam generating chamber 20 accommodates the nozzle core 222 therein, a gap 2311 is radially formed between the nozzle core 222 and a corresponding portion of the nozzle core, the gap 2311 may be, for example, an annular space, and the nozzle core 222 and the through hole 2211 together define the first channel section 231. The first channel section 231 thus in fact comprises a cylindrical channel section and an annular channel section and the cross-sectional area decreases in the flow direction K of the functional solution. Of course, when the head core 222 has an offset in the radial direction of the through-hole 2211, even contacts the inner wall of the through-hole 2211, it is sufficient if there is a gap in the axial direction between the head core 222 and a part of the inner wall of the through-hole 2211.

In other embodiments, the depth of the nozzle core 222 extending into the through-hole 2211 can be set according to actual needs, but the nozzle core 222 cannot completely penetrate the through-hole 2211.

In the embodiment of the present application, the liquid channel 23 further includes a pressurizing section 232 at one side of the end of the first channel section 231, and the pressurizing section 232 is used for pressurizing the functional solution flowing out of the first channel section 231. Like this, can spray out the function solution pressure boost, make the function solution spraying have better divergence angle and spraying area to realize better dissolution efficiency. Here, the end of the first channel section 231 refers to an end of the first channel section 231 near the inside of the steam generating chamber 20.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a structure of a nozzle assembly in a laundry care machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, fig. 5 is a top view of a nozzle core in the laundry care machine according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, fig. 6 is a schematic structural view of the nozzle core in the laundry care machine according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, and fig. 7 is a sectional view of the nozzle core in the laundry care machine according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, referring to fig. 4, 5, 6, and 7, the showerhead assembly 22 further includes a showerhead cap 223 covering the showerhead 221, the showerhead cap 223 being provided with a spray hole 2231 communicating with the pressurizing section 232; the end of the nozzle core 222 facing the nozzle cap 223 is provided with a pressurizing groove 2221 and at least one centrifugal groove 2222, a first end of the centrifugal groove 2222 is communicated with the pressurizing groove 2221, a second end of the centrifugal groove 2222 extends away from the pressurizing groove 2221 and is communicated with the first channel section 231, and the groove bodies of the pressurizing groove 2221 and the centrifugal groove 2222 and the nozzle cap 223 define a pressurizing section 232. The nozzle cap 223 is provided with the nozzle holes 2231 to facilitate the functional solution to be sprayed from the nozzle holes 2231. And the centrifugal groove 2222 is formed around the pressurizing groove 2221 to communicate with the pressurizing groove 2221 such that the functional solution flows through the first passage section 231 and enters the pressurizing groove 2221 from the outer end portion of the centrifugal groove 2222, and the functional solution can be pressurized by the centrifugal action of the functional solution. Wherein the pressurizing section 232 is actually defined by the groove body of the pressurizing groove 2221, the groove body of the centrifugal groove 2222, and the wall surface of the nozzle cap 223 facing away from the inner side of the steam generating chamber 20.

Alternatively, a plurality of centrifugal grooves 2222 may be divergently provided at an outer edge portion of the pressurizing groove 2221, so that the centrifugal effect of the centrifugal grooves 2222 on the functional solution is more pronounced. Referring to the head core 222 shown in fig. 5, illustrating a case where there are three centrifugal grooves 2222, the extending directions of the centrifugal grooves 2222 may be deflected in the same direction, for example, all deflected toward a direction close to the center of the pressurizing groove 2221, so that the three centrifugal grooves 2222 are deflected in a counterclockwise direction. It will be appreciated that the number of the centrifugal grooves 2222 may be selected as desired, and the extending direction thereof may be set to be other. This effectively amounts to forming the plenum section 232 as a worm plenum.

In the present application, when the above-described solution is further improved, the groove bottom of the pressurizing groove 2221 may have a projection 2223 projecting toward the head cap 223, and the cross-sectional area of the projection 2223 may be gradually reduced in the flow direction of the functional solution. Referring to fig. 6, the protrusions 2223 may be formed in a cone shape such that a pressurizing section 232 having a gradually decreasing cross-section along the flow direction of the functional solution may be formed between the surface of the protrusions 2223 and the surface of the head cap 223 opposite thereto, and the pressurizing effect of the pressurizing section 232 is enhanced by the guide effect of the conical surface of the protrusions 2223.

In the embodiment of the present application, the nozzle cap 223 is detachably connected to the nozzle 221, for example, can be clamped to the nozzle 221.

In the embodiment of the present application, in order to prevent the functional solution in the steam generation chamber 20 from flowing backward into the first pipe 24, it is also conceivable to provide a member having a check valve function in the spray head 221.

Illustratively, the nozzle assembly 22 further includes an elastic shutter 224, the elastic shutter 224 is located on a side of the nozzle core 222 away from the nozzle hole 2231, the through hole 2211 of the nozzle 221 is a stepped hole having a stepped surface 2212 facing the nozzle hole 2231, and the elastic shutter 224 can reciprocate along a length direction of the nozzle core 222 to abut against the stepped surface 2212 and close the liquid passage 23 or separate from the stepped surface 2212 and open the liquid passage 23. Thus, when the functional solution is supplied to the boiler 2 from the functional solution storage box 3, the functional solution flows into the through hole 2211, the elastic opening and closing member 224 is opened by the liquid pressure, the elastic opening and closing member 224 moves toward the steam generating chamber 20 and is separated from the step surface 2212, and the functional solution enters the passage section corresponding to the nozzle core 222 on the first passage section 231 through the gap between the step surface 2212 and the elastic opening and closing member 224; when the functional solution storage cartridge 3 stops feeding the functional solution to the boiler 2, the elastic shutter 224 has elasticity and returns to the state of abutting against the step surface 2212, and closes the liquid passage 23.

As an example, the elastic opening and closing member 224 may include an elastic member 2241 and a sealing block 2242, one end of the elastic member 2241 is connected to the sealing block 2242, the sealing block 2242 is located on the side of the step surface 2212 facing the inside of the steam generating chamber 20, and the other end of the elastic member 2241 is fitted over the head core 222, so that when the functional storage solution is supplied to the head assembly 22 as described above, the functional storage solution applies an inward force to the sealing block 2242, and the elastic member 2241 is compressed by the sealing block 2242 to be separated from the step surface 2212, thereby opening the liquid passage 23; when the supply of the functional storage solution to the head assembly 22 is stopped, the elastic member 2241 is restored to push the sealing block 2242 against the step surface 2212 to close the liquid passage 23.

Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating another structure of a nozzle assembly in a laundry care machine according to an embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 8, as another possible implementation, the nozzle assembly includes a nozzle 221 'having a through hole 2211' as a liquid passage 23 in the nozzle 221', and both ends of the through hole 2211' are respectively communicated with a storage box 31 and a steam generation chamber 20. Thus, the functional solution may enter the steam generation chamber 20 through the penetration hole 2211'.
