They are only used for ease of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed or operated in a specific orientation, and therefore they should not be considered as limitations to the present disclosure.

(10) In addition, it should also be noted that in the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms arrange, install, connect and connection should be understood in a broad sense; for example, the connection may be a fixed connection, or may also be a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it may be a direct connection, or an indirect connection implemented through an intermediate medium, or it may be an internal communication between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific situations.

(11) Based on the problem pointed out in the BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION that the production of the washing machine has major limitations if the existing washing machine is equipped with an atomization generator, the present disclosure provides a drum washing machine, which aims to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the washing machine with the atomization generator and enables the washing machine to make full use of the atomization function of the atomization generator.

(12) Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the drum washing machine of the present disclosure includes a cabinet, a drum 1, a water supply valve, a water-containing member, an atomization generator 2 and a driving board 3; a window gasket 4 is provided between the cabinet and the drum 1, the water supply valve is connected to the atomization generator 2 through the water-containing member, and an outlet of the atomization generator 2 is arranged facing an inner cavity of the drum 1; the atomization generator 2 may be provided either on the window gasket 4 or on the drum 1, as long as it can spray atomized water droplets onto the clothing in an inner cylinder of the drum 1 to perform atomized air washing. The water-containing member is provided with an accommodating structure, the driving board 3 is arranged in the accommodating structure, and the driving board 3 is in communication connection with the atomization generator 2. The water-containing member may be a water tank, or a water box, or a sink on the drum washing machine. Those skilled in the art may flexibly set the specific structure of the water-containing member in practical applications, as long as the water-containing member can store and accommodate water. The accommodating structure may be a recess provided on the water-containing member, or an insertion-fit portion provided on the water-containing member, that is, the driving board 3 may be placed in the recess for installation, or may be inserted into the insertion-fit portion for installation. Those skilled in the art may flexibly set the specific structure of the accommodating structure in practical applications, as long as the driving board 3 can be accommodated by the accommodating structure. In addition, the driving board 3 and the atomization generator 2 may be connected by a wire harness; for example, the wire harness may be a power line. Of course, a Bluetooth module may also be set on both the driving board 3 and the atomization generator 2, and then signals are transmitted via Bluetooth transmission so that the driving board 3 can control the atomization generator 2. The Bluetooth module may also be replaced by other wireless modules, such as a wifi module. Those skilled in the art may flexibly set the communication mode between the driving board 3 and the atomization generator 2 in practical applications, as long as the driving board 3 can control the atomization generator 2. The atomization generator 2 may be an ultrasonic atomization generator or a compressed atomization generator. Those skilled in the art may flexibly set the specific structure of the atomization generator 2 in practical applications, as long as the atomization generator 2 can convert the water in the water-containing member into atomized water droplets so as to perform atomized air washing of the clothing. The technical solution of the present disclosure will be described in detail below by taking the water tank as the water-containing member and the recess provided on an outer surface of the water tank as the accommodating structure.

(13) Preferably, at least one guide structure is provided on an inner side wall of the recess 51 of the water tank 5, and the guide structure is arranged to be able to guide the driving board 3 to an installation position in the recess 51. The installation position of the present disclosure refers to a position where the driving board 3 can be installed in place in the recess 51. The guide structure may be a guide rib, a guide groove, or other structures that can realize the guiding function, as long as the driving board 3 can be guided to be installed in place during the installation of the driving board 3. In addition, the number of the guide structure may be one or plural. In a preferred situation, the guide structure is a guide rib 6, and a thickness of the guide rib 6 gradually increases in an installation direction of the driving board 3. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the thickness of the guide rib 6 gradually increases in the installation direction of the driving board 3 (that is, the direction from a top to a bottom of the recess 51 in FIGS. 3 and 4). With this arrangement, a size of the space formed by the top of the guide rib 6 is larger than a size of the space formed by the bottom of the guide rib 6. In an example in which there are a plurality of guide ribs 6 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the plurality of guide ribs 6 are arranged on an inner wall of the recess 51 in a surrounding manner, and a size of the space formed by the tops of the plurality of guide ribs 6 jointly is slightly larger than an outer contour size of the driving board 3, so that the driving board 3 has a certain fault tolerant range at the top positions of the plurality of guide ribs 6. Therefore, the operator only needs to place the driving board 3 in the recess 51 when installing the driving board 3. As the driving board 3 is pressed and moved downward, the size of the space formed by the plurality of guide ribs 6 jointly is gradually reduced, so as to ensure that the installation of the driving board 3 is corrected. In this way, when the driving board 3 is moved to the bottoms of the plurality of guide ribs 6, it can be accurately moved to the installation position. Of course, it is also possible to provide the guide ribs 6 on only one inner side wall of the recess 51, and no guide ribs 6 are provided on the inner wall of the opposite side. The guide ribs 6 on a single inner wall can also realize a stable guidance of the driving board 3. Such changes to the structure do not deviate from the principle of the present disclosure, and should also be defined within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. In fact, those skilled in the art may flexibly set the number, arrangement positions and distribution of the guide ribs 6 in practical applications, as long as the installation of the driving board 3 can be guided through the change in the thickness of the guide ribs 6.

(14) Preferably, at least one abutment rib 7 is further provided in the recess 51, the abutment ribs 7 correspond to the guide ribs 6 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the abutment ribs 7 are arranged between the guide ribs 6 and an inner bottom wall of the recess 51. In an assembled state, the abutment ribs 7 abut against an outer edge of the driving board 3. Still taking the structure in FIGS. 3 and 4 as an example, the abutment ribs 7 are arranged below the guide ribs 6, and a size of space enclosed by the plurality of abutment ribs 7 jointly exactly matches with the size of the outer edge of the driving board 3, or at least a part of the size of the space enclosed by the plurality of abutment ribs 7 jointly matches with the size of the outer edge of the driving board 3, so that when the driving board 3 is installed in place, the plurality of abutment ribs 7 can abut and limit the driving board 3 from all around, that is, the driving board 3 is stably clamped, so as to realize the fixing of the driving board 3.

(15) Preferably, at least one support rib 8 is further provided in the recess 51, the support ribs 8 correspond to the abutment ribs 7 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the support ribs 8 are arranged between the abutment ribs 7 and the inner bottom wall of the recess 51. In the assembled state, the driving board 3 is supported on the support ribs 8. Still taking the structure in FIGS. 3 and 4 as an example, the support ribs 8 are arranged below the abutment ribs 7, and the plurality of support ribs 8 can jointly support the driving board 3, so that when the driving board 3 is installed in place, the plurality of support ribs 8 can jointly support the bottom of the driving board 3 to realize stable support of the driving board 3.

(16) In the above technical solution, the abutment rib 7 and the guide rib 6 are preferably provided as one piece, and the support rib 8 and the abutment rib 7 are preferably provided as one piece. In a preferred situation, the guide rib 6, the abutment rib 7 and the support rib 8 are all provided as one piece with the recess 51, that is, the guide rib 6, the abutment rib 7 and the support rib 8 are all integrally formed with the water tank 5. This arrangement facilitates unified manufacturing of the water tanks 5 by molding, thereby simplifying the process flow.

(17) In the present disclosure, the drum washing machine further includes a dispensing device 9. The dispensing device 9 includes a clothing treatment agent dispensing cavity and a water box arranged on a top of the clothing treatment agent dispensing cavity. A water delivery channel 91 is formed in the water box. A water inlet end of the water delivery channel 91 is connected to the water supply valve arranged outside of the dispensing device 9, and a water outlet end of the water delivery channel 91 is connected to the atomization generator 2 through the water tank 5; that is, the water outlet end of the water delivery channel 91 may be first connected to the water tank 5 through a pipeline, and then the water tank 5 is connected to the atomization generator 2 through another pipeline. The water tank 5 has a function of accumulating water. A one-way check structure is preferably arranged on the water delivery channel 91. The one-way check structure may be a one-way check valve 10, such as the one-way check valve 10 in the China utility model patent CN207933741U. The principle of the one-way check valve 10 belongs to the prior art, so it will not be described in detail herein. Of course, in the present disclosure, other one-way check structures may also be used. For example, the one-way check structure includes a cylinder, a movable block arranged in the cylinder, and a spring connected between the cylinder and the movable block. The movable block divides an internal cavity of the cylinder into two parts. A top part of the cylinder is provided with an air inlet, a bottom part of the cylinder is provided with a water inlet, and a middle part of the cylinder is provided with an outlet. The spring allows the movable block to move between a top limit position, a middle position and a bottom limit position. When the spring is in a natural state, it enables the movable block to be maintained at the bottom limit position. At this time, the air inlet communicates with the outlet, and the water inlet is isolated from the outlet by the movable block, so as to realize the communication between the one-way check structure and the atmosphere. When water inflows from the water inlet, the water pressure moves the movable block to the top limit position against the force of the spring, so that the water inlet communicates with the outlet, and that the air inlet is isolated from the outlet by the movable block. Therefore, the one-way check structure allows water to pass through and is isolated from the atmosphere. It should be noted that the above-mentioned top part and bottom part are defined relative to the cylinder, and they do not constitute restrictions to the specific direction and specific position of arranging the one-way check structure. Alternatively, the one-way check structure may also be a plug structure. Specifically, an opening is provided on the water delivery channel 91, and a plug is provided at the opening. When water inflows from the water supply valve, the opening is closed by the plug, and when the water supply valve is closed, the plug is removed and the opening communicates with the atmosphere, so that the water in the water tank 5 is sprayed from the outlet of the atomization generator 2. Those skilled in the art may flexibly set the specific structure of the one-way check structure in practical applications, as long as the one-way check structure can be isolated from the atmosphere when the water supply valve is opened and can communicate with the atmosphere when the water supply valve is closed.

(18) It should be noted that by using the one-way check structure, the present disclosure enables the atomization generator 2 to smoothly generate atomized water droplets. This is because when the water supply valve is always open, it is very difficult for the atomization generator 2 to form atomized water droplets under the action of water pressure. Therefore, the water supply valve can be opened to accumulate water in the water tank 5, and then the water supply valve can be closed. At this time, the water in the water tank 5 can be sprayed onto the clothing in the form of atomized water droplets from the atomization generator 2 according to the principle of atmospheric communication, so as to ensure that the atomization generator 2 can perform atomized air washing of the clothing in the drum 1. Of course, the one-way check structure of the present disclosure may also be directly arranged on the water tank 5. The simple change of the position of the one-way check structure does not deviate from the principle of the present disclosure, and should be defined within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. In practical applications, a position where the outlet of the atomization generator 2 is arranged may be set lower than a position where the one-way check structure is arranged, so as to facilitate the water in the water tank 5 to be sprayed from the atomization generator 2.

(19) Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

(20) It should be noted that in the description of the present disclosure, terms indicating directional or positional relationships, such as in, above, below, inside, outside and the like, are based on the directional or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only used for ease of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed or operated in a specific orientation, and therefore they should not be considered as limitations to the present disclosure. In addition, terms first, second, third and fourth are only used for descriptive purposes, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

(21) In addition, it should also be noted that in the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms arrange, install, connect and connection should be understood in a broad sense; for example, the connection may be a fixed connection, or may also be a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it may be a direct connection, or an indirect connection implemented through an intermediate medium, or it may be an internal communication between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific situations.

(22) Based on the problems pointed out in the BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION that existing clothing treatment apparatuses with a washing function have a poor washing effect and very limited applicable range of clothing, the present disclosure provides a clothing treatment apparatus, aiming at improving the washing effect of the clothing treatment apparatuses with the washing function on the clothing, increasing the applicable range of the clothing, meeting user's requirements on use, and thereby improving the user experience.

(23) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the clothing treatment apparatus of the present disclosure includes a clothing treatment drum, a water supply valve 1, a dispensing device 2, a water-containing member, an atomization generator 3, and a one-way check structure. The dispensing device 2 includes a water delivery channel 21, the water supply valve 1 is connected to a water inlet end of the water-containing member through the water delivery channel 21, a water outlet end of the water-containing member is connected to the atomization generator 3 through a first pipeline 9, and the water outlet end of the water-containing member is also connected to the clothing treatment drum through a second pipeline 10. An outlet of the atomization generator 3 is arranged facing an inner cavity of the clothing treatment drum. The one-way check structure is connected with the water delivery channel 21 and the water-containing member respectively, and the one-way check structure is arranged to be isolated from the atmosphere when the water supply valve 1 is opened and to communicate with the atmosphere when the water supply valve 1 is closed. The water-containing member may be a water tank, or a water box, or a sink on the clothing treatment apparatus. Those skilled in the art may flexibly set the specific structure of the water-containing member in practical applications, as long as the water-containing member can store and accommodate water. The atomization generator 3 may be an ultrasonic atomization generator or a compressed atomization generator. Those skilled in the art may flexibly set the specific structure of the atomization generator 3 in practical applications, as long as the atomization generator 3 can convert the water in the water delivery channel 21 and the water-containing member into atomized water droplets when the one-way check structure communicates with the atmosphere so as to perform atomized air washing of the clothing. In addition, a combined structure of a one-way check valve 8 and pipelines may be used as the one-way check structure, in which the one-way check valve 8 may be the one-way check valve 8 in the China utility model patent CN207933741U. The principle of the one-way check valve 8 belongs to the prior art, so it will not be described in detail herein. Of course, in the present disclosure, other combined structures of a one-way check structure and pipelines may also be used. For example, the one-way check structure includes a cylinder, a movable block arranged in the cylinder, and a spring connected between the cylinder and the movable block. The movable block divides an internal cavity of the cylinder into two parts. A top part of the cylinder is provided with an air inlet, a bottom part of the cylinder is provided with a water inlet, and a middle part of the cylinder is provided with an outlet. The spring allows the movable block to move between a top limit position, a middle position and a bottom limit position. When the spring is in a natural state, it enables the movable block to be maintained at the bottom limit position. At this time, the air inlet communicates with the outlet, and the water inlet is isolated from the outlet by the movable block, so as to realize the communication between the one-way check structure and the atmosphere. When water inflows from the water inlet, the water pressure moves the movable block to the top limit position against the force of the spring, so that the water inlet communicates with the outlet, and that the air inlet is isolated from the outlet by the movable block. Therefore, the one-way check structure allows water to pass through and is isolated from the atmosphere. It should be noted that the above-mentioned top part and bottom part are defined relative to the cylinder, and they do not constitute restrictions to the specific direction of arranging the one-way check structure. Alternatively, the one-way check structure may also be a combined structure of a plug and pipelines. Specifically, the water delivery channel 21 and the water-containing member are connected by a connection pipe, an opening is provided at the highest point of the connection pipe, and a plug is provided at the opening. When water inflows from the water supply valve 1, the opening is closed by the plug, and when the water supply valve 1 is closed, the plug is removed and the opening communicates with the atmosphere, so that the water in the water delivery channel 21 and the water-containing member is sprayed from the outlet of the atomization generator 3. Those skilled in the art may flexibly set the specific structure of the one-way check structure in practical applications, as long as the one-way check structure can be isolated from the atmosphere when the water supply valve 1 is opened and can communicate with the atmosphere when the water supply valve 1 is closed. In the present disclosure, the first pipeline 9 and the second pipeline 10 may be connected to the water delivery channel 21 through the same water outlet end of the water delivery channel 21, or they may also be connected to the water delivery channel 21 through different water outlet ends of the water delivery channel 21 respectively. Such changes to the structure do not deviate from the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and should be defined within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

(24) It should be noted that by using the one-way check structure, the present disclosure enables the atomization generator 3 to smoothly generate atomized water droplets. This is because when the water supply valve 1 is always open, it is very difficult for the atomization generator 3 to form atomized water droplets under the action of water pressure. Therefore, the water supply valve 1 can be opened to accumulate water in the water delivery channel 21 and the water-containing member, and then the water supply valve 1 can be closed. At this time, the water in the water delivery channel 21 and the water-containing member can be sprayed onto the clothing in the form of atomized water droplets from the atomization generator 3 according to the principle of atmospheric communication, so as to ensure that the atomization generator 3 can perform atomized air washing of the clothing. If it is required to inject a large amount of water into the clothing treatment drum, the atomization generator 3 is closed at this time so as to keep the water supply valve 1 always open and ensure that the second pipeline 10 is in a communicated state, thereby achieving continuous water injection into the clothing treatment drum. The second pipeline 10 can be directly connected to a water injection port or sprinkling structure on the clothing treatment drum.

(25) In addition, it should also be noted that the clothing treatment apparatus of the present disclosure may be a drum washing machine, a pulsator washing machine, a washing-drying integrated machine, a clothing care machine, etc., and those skilled in the art may flexibly set the application objects of the technical solutions of the present disclosure. Such adjustments and changes to the application objects do not deviate from the principle of the present disclosure, and should be defined within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be further explained below in conjunction with a drum washing machine.

(26) Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the drum washing machine of the present disclosure includes a cabinet, a drum 4 arranged in the cabinet, and a window gasket 5 connected between an outer cylinder of the drum 4 and the cabinet. The atomization generator 3 is preferably arranged on the window gasket 5, and an outlet of the atomization generator 3 is obliquely arranged facing an inner cavity of the drum 4 (of course, other directions of arrangement are also possible). Alternatively, the atomization generator 3 may also be provided on the outer cylinder of the drum 4, as long as it can spray atomized water droplets onto the clothing in an inner cylinder of the drum 4 to perform atomized air washing. A sprinkling head 7 is provided on the drum 4 or on the window gasket 5, and an outlet of the sprinkling head 7 is also arranged facing the inner cavity of the drum 4. The sprinkling head 7 is mainly configured to sprinkle water into the drum 4. A control valve may be selectively installed on the second pipeline 10, and the control valve can control on and off of the second pipeline 10. In addition, the drum washing machine also includes a dispensing device 2 arranged on the cabinet. The dispensing device 2 includes a clothing treatment agent dispensing cavity and a water box arranged on a top of the clothing treatment agent dispensing cavity. The water delivery channel 21 is formed in the water box. A water inlet end of the water delivery channel 21 is connected to the water supply valve 1 arranged outside of the dispensing device 2, and a water outlet end of the water delivery channel 21 is connected to a water tank 6 through a pipeline. The water tank 6 is connected to the atomization generator 3 through the first pipeline 9, and is also connected to the drum 4 through the second pipeline 10. The water tank 6 has a function of accumulating water. The one-way check valve 8 is arranged outside of the water delivery channel 21 and the water tank 6, is connected to the water delivery channel 21 through a third pipeline 11, and is also connected to the water tank 6 through a fourth pipeline 12 (this part of the structure is not shown in FIG. 6).

(27) Preferably, the position where the one-way check valve 8 is arranged is at a different height from the position where the outlet of the atomization generator 3 is arranged, that is, when the one-way check valve 8 communicates with the atmosphere, a certain liquid level difference can be formed between the one-way check valve 8 and the outlet of the atomization generator 3, so that the water accumulated in the water delivery channel 21 and the water tank 6 can be sprayed onto the clothing more easily in the form of atomized water droplets through the atomization generator 3. Since the position where the dispensing device 2 is arranged is generally higher than the position where the drum 4 is arranged in the drum washing machine, it is more preferable to set the position where the one-way check valve 8 is arranged to be higher than the position where the outlet of the atomization generator 3 is arranged, thereby making full use of the original structure of the drum washing machine.

(28) Hitherto, the technical solutions of the present disclosure have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present disclosure is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present disclosure, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to relevant technical features, and all the technical solutions after these changes or replacements will fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
