Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the utility model without making any inventive effort, are intended to fall within the scope of the utility model.

The laundry treating apparatus 100 provided in the embodiment of the present utility model may be a single drum washing machine, a double drum washing machine, or the like. In order to more clearly explain the structure of the laundry treating apparatus 100, the laundry treating apparatus 100 will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 is a front view of a laundry treating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, and fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the laundry treating apparatus 100 shown in fig. 1 along A-A. The laundry treating apparatus 100 includes an outer tub 10 and an inner tub 20 rotatably installed inside the outer tub 10, the outer tub 10 including an outer tub wall, the inner tub 20 including an inner tub wall 201 facing the outer tub wall; the laundry treating apparatus 100 further includes a cleaning member 30, and the cleaning member 30 is mounted to the inner tub wall 201. Specifically, the cleaning member 30 includes a base 31 mounted to the inner tub wall 201 and a plurality of soft brush bars 32 provided to the base 31, and the soft brush bars 32 may be made of materials such as rubber, silica gel, nylon, etc., so that the soft brush bars 32 reduce noise generation while maintaining a smooth surface. The soft brush bar 32 protrudes toward the outer tub wall and is used for cleaning the outer tub wall when the inner tub 20 rotates relative to the outer tub 10, wherein the soft brush bar 32 comprises a brush post 321 and a brush head 322, the brush post 321 is connected to the base 31, the brush head 322 is connected to one end of the brush post 321 away from the inner tub wall 201 and is provided with an arc surface protruding away from the brush post 321, and compared with a common brush, when the inner tub 20 rotates relative to the outer tub 10, the soft brush bar 32 flexibly deforms and penetrates into a recessed part of the outer tub wall surface, and the arc surface of the brush head 322 contacts with the outer tub wall, so that the cleaning piece 30 is fully contacted with the outer tub wall surface. Because the flexible brush bar 32 is capable of cleaning dirt from the outer tub wall without scratching the outer tub wall. Therefore, when the inner tub 20 rotates, the soft brush bar 32 contacts with the surface of the outer tub wall, the cleaning effect of the cleaning member 30 on the outer tub wall can be better ensured.

Illustratively, the base 31 is attached to the inner tub wall 201. The base 31 may be a rectangular base 31, wherein the rectangular base 31 includes two opposite long sides, which may be the same as the axial length of the inner tub wall 201. Because the rectangular base 31 is deformed to a certain extent when the rectangular base 31 is attached to the inner tub wall 201, the cleaning member 30 can cover a larger area on the inner tub wall 201 to clean a larger area of the outer tub wall.

Illustratively, the base 31 and the inner tub wall 201 are magnetically coupled such that the base 31 is secured to the inner tub wall 201. Specifically, the inner tub wall 201 is uniformly provided with a plurality of first magnetic members with the same polarity, the base 31 is uniformly provided with a plurality of second magnetic members with the same polarity, and the polarities of the second magnetic members are opposite to those of the first magnetic members so that the base 31 is detachably connected to the inner tub wall 201 through a magnetic attraction mode. In the magnetic connection mode, the base 31 and the inner barrel wall 201 are firmly attached, and are not easy to fall off.

Referring to fig. 3 in conjunction with fig. 2, fig. 3 is an enlarged schematic view of a portion a of the laundry treating apparatus 100 shown in fig. 2. The base 31 is provided with a plurality of protrusions towards one side of the inner barrel wall 201, the inner barrel wall 201 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of notches 2011, and the cleaning piece 30 is clamped to the inner barrel wall 201 through the protrusions and the notches 2011. In use, a user can mount the cleaning member 30 to the inner tub wall 201 by inserting the protrusion of the base 31 into the alignment notch 2011. It can be appreciated that, since the inner tub wall 201 is distributed with a plurality of notches 2011, a user can adjust the mounting position of the base 31 according to the positions of the notches 2011. In practical applications, a person skilled in the art can flexibly set the clamping structure of the base 31 and the inner tub wall 201, for example, set an elastic arm with a hook on the base 31 and set a clamping interface on the inner tub wall 201, so that the elastic arm is clamped on the inner tub wall 201 after being elastically deformed. The base 31 and the inner tub wall 201 may be connected by screwing, caulking, or the like, as long as the base 31 is attached to the inner tub wall 201 without falling off.

Illustratively, the base 31 and the flexible brush bar 32 are coated with an antibacterial coating, such as an inorganic antibacterial coating with silver, copper, zinc, chlorine, fluorine, etc., and when the positively charged metal ions contact the cell membrane of the bacterial microorganism on the outer tub wall during cleaning, the metal ions may destroy the activity of bacterial cell synthase, and the bacterial cells die due to the loss of the division and proliferation ability, thereby inhibiting bacterial proliferation between the inner tub wall 201 and the outer tub wall.

Referring to fig. 4 in conjunction with fig. 2, fig. 4 is a schematic view illustrating a view of the cleaning member 30 of the laundry treating apparatus 100 shown in fig. 2. The outer tub 10 includes an outer tub rear seat and an outer tub front cover 11 arranged along an axial direction of the outer tub, and the outer tub front cover 11 is mounted to the outer tub rear seat. The outer tub wall includes a first peripheral wall located at the outer tub front cover 11 and a second peripheral wall located at the outer tub rear, the cleaning member 30 includes a first portion and a second portion, and the first portion cleaning member 30 is disposed between the outer tub front cover 11 and the inner tub 20 for cleaning the first peripheral wall; the second partial cleaning member 30 is disposed between the tub rear and the tub 20 for cleaning the second peripheral wall. Compared with a common brush, the soft brush rod 32 is directly contacted with the first peripheral wall and the second peripheral wall to form the cambered surface part of the brush head 322, so that brush scraps cannot fall off in the brushing process, and the cleaning difficulty is increased. The length of the soft brush bar 32 may be set according to practical situations, and it can be understood that most of the length of the soft brush bar 32 is not smaller than the distance between the inner barrel wall 201 and the outer barrel wall, so as to ensure that the purpose of completely cleaning the inner barrel wall 201 is achieved.

Specifically, the plurality of soft brush bars 32 disposed in the first portion are uniformly distributed in the first portion, and the plurality of soft brush bars 32 disposed in the second portion are uniformly distributed in the second portion. To ensure the cleaning effect of the soft brush bar 32, the soft brush bar 32 may be provided in a plurality of rows or columns, and the interval length of each row and each column may be set according to the length and width of the base 31 so that the brush head 322 is sufficiently contacted with the outer tub wall. Wherein, a plurality of soft brush sticks 32 can be "radial" connected in the base, and the holistic cross-section of brush post 321 can be fan-shaped to increase soft brush stick 32 and outer barrel wall's area of contact, in order to promote the cleaning efficiency of cleaning member 30.

Specifically, the distribution density of the plurality of soft brush bars 32 in the first portion is smaller than the distribution density of the plurality of soft brush bars 32 in the second portion. Since the contaminated water eventually flows to the first peripheral wall during the draining process of the laundry treatment apparatus, the first peripheral wall may accumulate more dirt, so that the distribution density of the soft brush bars 32 of the first portion is smaller and the number is larger.

Illustratively, the laundry treating apparatus 100 further includes a drain pipe 40, the tub 10 includes a tub rear and a tub front cover 11 mounted to the tub rear, a drain port 41 is formed at a bottom of the tub front cover 11, and the drain pipe 40 is connected to the drain port 41. Specifically, since the outer tub 10 is less detached when the user uses, the cleaning of the cleaning member 30 is mainly performed by a shower apparatus provided between the outer tub 10 and the inner tub 20, including a shower pipe and a water inlet pipe, which is sprayed toward the cleaning brush of the cleaning member 30, inside the laundry treating apparatus 100. In practical application, the number of the spraying pipes can be one or a plurality of spraying pipes, for example, the spraying pipes are respectively arranged on the front cover 11 of the outer barrel and the rear seat of the outer barrel. After the laundry treating apparatus 100 is washed, the spray pipe may spray water between the inner tub 20 and the outer tub 10 so that the dirt cleaned by the cleaning member 30 flows out along with the drain pipe 40, preventing dirt and mold from occurring between the inner tub and the outer tub. Because the base 31 is attached to the inner tub wall 201, the base 31 can rotate along with the inner tub wall 201 during spraying, so that water flow can be sprayed onto the cleaning member 30 in a circumferential rotation manner, and the soft brush bar 32 is ensured to be cleaned comprehensively. Further, since dirt is easily deposited near the drain port 41, the soft brush bar 32 may brush the area near the drain port 41 to clean the area near the drain port 41.

Illustratively, the number of the cleaning members 30 may be one or several, and when there are a plurality of cleaning members 30, the cleaning members 30 are uniformly distributed on the inner tub wall 201. The number of cleaning members 30 may be practically set by those skilled in the art, such as 2, 3, 4, etc. The interval between the adjacent cleaning members 30 can be flexibly adjusted.

In the foregoing embodiments, the descriptions of the embodiments are emphasized, and for parts of one embodiment that are not described in detail, reference may be made to related descriptions of other embodiments.

In the description of the present utility model, the terms "first," "second," and the like are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.
