About Mini 洗烘一体机
Mini是一款专为内衣洗护设计的紧凑型洗烘一体机。它能在同一个内筒中完成小件衣物的洗涤、烘干与除菌。微气泡悬浮技术可释放大量纳米气泡，使衣物悬浮于水中，无需揉搓或与内筒壁翻滚摩擦即可实现洁净洗涤。随后在低温负压环境下进行烘干，有助于保持真丝面料的柔软质感并减少褶皱。自动投放系统可精准投放适量洗涤剂。机身采用可降解的PC与ABS复合材料制成。

- Unique Properties
- The mini washer and dryer combo can automatically wash, dry, and sterilize underwear. Instead of rubbing clothes against each other or dashing them on the tumble walls, its trailblazing micro bubble suspension technology can release numerous nanobubbles for a mild but thorough cleaning result. It will then dry clothes moderately in its airtight tub at a low temperature and a negative pressure, preserving the softness and strength of delicate silk fabrics.

- Underwear washer and dryer combo, Mini clothing care machine, Micro bubble suspension technology, Drying at a low temperature and a negative pressure, A smart clothing custodian
- Production Technology
- This washer and dryer combo features a single tub, and has its air duct and water duct integrated into one. This optimized structure ensures that the tub wall can be dried simultaneously with clothes, overcoming the defects in the like products with two tubs, such as wetness, fouling, and the resulting breeding ground for bacteria and viruses in the gape between tubs. To align with sustainable development, it is mainly made from a degradable blend of PC and ABS via a green manufacturing process.
- Design Challenge
- To solve the wrinkling problem caused by traditional wash and spin cycles, the design team developed the micro bubble suspension technology for mild but thorough cleaning. This innovation completely prevents the fabric damage incurred by the intense friction or impact in pulsator wash and tumble wash. And upon the completion of a wash cycle, this machine will then conduct a moderate drying process at a low temperature and a negative pressure, helping reduce wrinkles to a minimum.
- Research
- The research conducted by the design team reveals that Chinese females generally prefer to wash their underwear by hands rather than using a traditional washing machine, partly out of the concern for the cleaning result, and partly because they consider it unhygienic to have their underwear to be washed with other clothes in a common washing machine. As a result, about 60 per cent of Chinese females have turned to mini underwear washing machines.
- Inspiration
- The design team found that releasing a large amount of nanobubbles in a wash cycle could effectively remove the stains and suspend the clothes in the water with no need of the mechanical components such as a pulsator, yielding a thorough but mild cleaning result while preventing wrinkles. Based on these findings, the design team developed the micro bubble suspension technology and further applied it on this mini washer and dryer combo for underwear cleaning.
- Project Duration
- The design and development of this mini washer and dryer combo started in Shunde, China, in December, 2021. It was introduced to the market in Shunde, in May, 2023.
- Operation Flow
- Users can select the cleaning mode as needed just with a click of a button on its intuitive control panel. It is really that simple and convenient to operate. Moreover, it is equipped with a side detergent cartridge and an auto dosing system, which can deliver exactly the right dose according to the laundry load and settings, fully eliminating the dilemma of over or under dosing. The synergy of germicidal laundry detergent, UV and pasteurization can kill over 99.9 per cent of bacteria and virus.
