Claims20
A device for washing and drying clothing comprising
- a container;
- an ultrasonic sonic cleaning module attached to the container, the ultrasonic cleaning module configured to transmit high-frequency sound waves through a liquid solution to agitate the liquid and cause cavitation of solution molecules;
- a direct contact ultrasonic drying plate removably connected to the container, the direct contact ultrasonic drying plate including:
- a plurality of holes spaced thereon;
- a plurality of piezoelectric elements positioned on the direct contact ultrasonic drying plate,
- wherein the piezoelectric elements vibrate at a high frequency to shake wet material placed on the direct contact ultrasonic drying plate;
- and
- an actuator connected to the direct contact ultrasonic drying plate and configured to move the piezoelectric elements up and down inside the container;
- and
- a plurality of sensors placed on the direct contact ultrasonic drying plate or the container, wherein the sensors measure the pressure of the piezoelectric elements on clothing to improve the effectiveness of the drying process.
