Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and more specifically to clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing equipment is a type of machinery that dries or disinfects clothes through mechanical, thermal, or chemical processes. Currently available clothing processing equipment, such as washer-dryer combos or tumble dryers, typically includes a housing, a drum within the housing to hold the clothes, and an air duct within the housing. The air duct is connected to the drum. Ultraviolet lamps inside the drum irradiate the clothes, thus disinfecting them.

[0003] Currently, existing technology has developed clothing treatment equipment that incorporates an oxygen module inside the air duct to generate active oxygen. The active oxygen generated by the module reacts chemically with ultraviolet light emitted by a UV lamp to produce hydroxyl radicals. These hydroxyl radicals adhere to the clothing, not only sterilizing and disinfecting but also giving the clothing a sun-kissed scent. However, existing clothing treatment equipment produces relatively few hydroxyl radicals from the reaction between the UV light emitted by the UV lamp and the active oxygen, resulting in poor sterilization and disinfection effects.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address or improve to some extent the technical problem of poor sterilization and disinfection effects in existing garment processing equipment, this invention provides a garment processing device. The garment processing device includes: a housing with a receiving cavity formed inside; a cylindrical body disposed within the receiving cavity and having opposing air inlets and outlets; an air supply assembly disposed within the housing and configured to form an airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet within the cylindrical body; an active oxygen module disposed within the housing and near the air inlet to provide active oxygen into the airflow; and a full-spectrum irradiation module disposed within the housing and near the air outlet, configured to emit full-spectrum light directed into the cylindrical body, wherein at least a portion of the full-spectrum light is irradiated in a direction opposite to the direction of the airflow.

[0006] Those skilled in the art will understand that the clothing treatment device of the present invention includes a housing, a cylinder, an air supply assembly, an active oxygen module, and a full-spectrum irradiation module. The housing provides a suitable installation area for the cylinder, air supply assembly, active oxygen module, and full-spectrum irradiation module. Inside the housing is a cylinder for holding clothing, facilitating clothing placement. The active oxygen module provides active oxygen to the airflow. The air supply assembly circulates the air within the cylinder to accelerate the contact between active oxygen and clothing, thereby improving the efficiency of clothing sterilization and disinfection. The full-spectrum irradiation module emits full-spectrum light that is most similar to sunlight. The disinfection effect of full-spectrum light on clothing is closer to that of sunlight, and it can also impart a "sunshine scent" to the clothing. The irradiation direction of some or all of the full-spectrum irradiation modules is opposite to the airflow carrying active oxygen, ensuring that the active oxygen in the flow is fully irradiated by the full-spectrum light, thereby allowing more active oxygen in the airflow to participate in chemical reactions, generating more hydroxyl radicals and improving the sterilization and disinfection effect.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the wavelength range of the full-spectrum light is 350nm-780nm.

[0008] With the above settings, the full-spectrum light with a wavelength range of 350nm-780nm is closer to the wavelength of sunlight, making the disinfection effect of the full-spectrum light on clothes closer to the effect of sunlight, and can also make the clothes smell like sunshine.

[0009] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the color rendering index of the full-spectrum light is greater than 97.

[0010] With the above settings, full-spectrum light with a color rendering index greater than 97 can more accurately reflect the color of clothing under sunlight, making it easier for users to observe the state of clothing during processing and providing a better user experience.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the air supply component includes: a fan configured to generate an airflow; and an air duct covering the fan, the air duct being connected to the air inlet and the air outlet respectively, so as to guide the airflow to the cylinder.

[0012] With the above configuration, the fan provides the airflow power to the inside of the casing, forming an airflow. The air duct provides suitable flow space for the airflow driven by the fan. The air duct is connected to the air inlet and air outlet respectively, so that the airflow can pass through the air inlet, the cylinder and the air outlet in sequence, realizing the circulation of air in the cylinder, allowing the active oxygen in the airflow to fully adhere to the clothing, thereby generating more hydroxyl free radicals on the clothing, improving the sterilization and disinfection effect.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing treatment equipment, the active oxygen module includes: an ionizing emitter disposed inside the air duct, the ionizing emitter being configured to chemically react with oxygen in the air to produce active oxygen; and a coil driver disposed outside the air duct, the coil driver being used to drive the ionizing emitter to emit rays capable of chemically reacting with air.

[0014] With the above setup, the coil driver drives the ionizing emitter to emit electromagnetic radiation rays. These rays, emitted into the air, cause a chemical reaction in oxygen, ultimately producing live oxygen. The combination of the ionizing emitter and the coil driver allows for readily available and convenient access to live oxygen.

[0015] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the air duct is provided with a filter for filtering impurities in the airflow.

[0016] With the above settings, the filter filters impurities in the airflow, which reduces the adsorption of active oxygen by impurities, thereby increasing the amount of active oxygen adhering to the clothing and further improving the sterilization and disinfection effect of the clothing.

[0017] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the housing is provided with an illumination module, which is configured to emit illumination light directed toward the interior of the cylinder, wherein the power of the illumination module is less than the power of the full-spectrum irradiation module.

[0018] With the above settings, the lighting module provides internal illumination for the garments inside the tube, making it easier for users to retrieve them. Furthermore, the lighting module has low power consumption, saving energy, and the lower brightness of the light will not harm the eyes, resulting in a better user experience.

[0019] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the clothing processing equipment further includes a controller, which is communicatively connected to the lighting module and the full-spectrum irradiation module to control the lighting module and the full-spectrum irradiation module to work alternately.

[0020] With the above settings, when the lighting module is on, the full-spectrum irradiation module is off. The lighting module illuminates the inside of the drum, meeting the need for illuminating clothing, and also reduces the usage time of the full-spectrum irradiation module, extending its lifespan. When the lighting module is off, the full-spectrum irradiation module is on, providing full-spectrum light to meet the needs of sterilization and disinfection. Furthermore, separating the lighting and sterilization / disinfection functions enhances the user experience.

[0021] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the controller is also communicatively connected to the active oxygen module to control the full-spectrum irradiation module and the active oxygen module to work synchronously. Through this configuration, the controller establishes a communication connection between the active oxygen module and the full-spectrum irradiation module, achieving automatic synchronous control and making it more convenient to use.

[0022] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the full-spectrum irradiation module is detachably connected to the housing. This detachable connection facilitates the installation and removal of the full-spectrum irradiation module from the housing, making maintenance more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To address or improve to some extent the technical problem of low sterilization and disinfection efficiency in existing garment processing equipment, this invention provides a garment processing device 100. The garment processing device 100 includes: a housing 1 with a receiving cavity formed inside; a cylindrical body 2 disposed within the receiving cavity and having opposing air inlets 21 and outlets 22; an air supply assembly 3 disposed within the housing 1 and configured to form an airflow from the air inlet 21 to the outlet 22 within the cylindrical body 2; an active oxygen module 4 disposed within the housing 1 and near the air inlet 21 to provide active oxygen into the airflow; and a full-spectrum irradiation module 5 disposed within the housing 1 and near the outlet 22, configured to emit full-spectrum light directed into the cylindrical body 2, wherein at least a portion of the full-spectrum light is irradiated in a direction opposite to the direction of the airflow.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the garment processing device of the present invention. (See also...) Figure 1 In one or more embodiments, the clothing treatment device 100 of the present invention includes a housing 1, a cylinder 2, an air supply assembly 3, an active oxygen module 4, and a full-spectrum irradiation module 5.

[0035] See also Figure 1A generally hollow cavity is formed inside the housing 1 to provide a suitable installation area for the cylinder 2, the air supply assembly 3, the active oxygen module 4, and the full-spectrum irradiation module 5. The housing 1 can be, but is not limited to, a cuboid. A clothing inlet 12 is provided on the front panel of the housing 1. The clothing inlet 12 facilitates the user to put clothing into the cylinder 2. The front panel is positioned opposite to the rear panel 11 of the housing 1. The rear panel 11 is fixedly connected to the upper side panel, lower side panel, left side panel, and right side panel of the housing 1. The fixing method between the rear panel 11 and the upper side panel, lower side panel, left side panel, and right side panel of the housing 1 can be, but is not limited to, riveting or welding. The rear panel 11 is provided with ventilation holes (not shown in the figure) for airflow. The ventilation holes communicate with the air inlet 21 of the cylinder 2.

[0036] See also Figure 1 In one or more embodiments, the drum 2 is disposed within the receiving cavity of the housing 1. The drum 2 is used to hold clothes, providing an area for processing clothes. Taking a washer-dryer combo as an example, the drum 2 includes an outer drum fixed within the housing 1 and an inner drum rotatably connected to the outer drum. Taking a dryer as an example, the drum 2 includes an inner drum rotatably connected within the housing 1. Taking a cabinet-type garment care device as an example, the drum 2 includes a storage cabinet fixedly disposed within the housing 1. It should be noted that the housing 1 also includes a drive mechanism for driving the inner drum to rotate, inlet and outlet pipes, and other components (not shown in the figure), which will not be described in detail here.

[0037] See also Figure 1 In one or more embodiments, the cylinder 2 is rotatably connected to the rear plate 11. The cylinder 2 is cylindrical. The shape of the cylinder 2 can also be square, polygonal prism, or other suitable shapes depending on actual needs. An opening 23 is provided on the side of the cylinder 2 near the front plate. The opening 23 is opposite to the clothing inlet 12, allowing the user to place clothing into the cylinder 2 through the clothing inlet 12 and the opening 23. The cylinder 2 has an air inlet 21 and an air outlet 22 arranged opposite to each other, allowing air to flow into the cylinder 2 through the air inlet 21 and then out of the cylinder 2 through the air outlet 22. The air inlet 21 is specifically located on the side of the cylinder 2 near the rear plate 11. The air inlet 21 is opposite to the ventilation holes of the rear plate 11, allowing airflow to pass through the ventilation holes and the air inlet 21 of the rear plate 11 sequentially before directly entering the cylinder 2, resulting in low wind resistance and accelerating the delivery of active oxygen into the cylinder 2. The air outlet 22 is specifically located near the opening 23 of the cylinder 2. based on Figure 1As shown, the central axis of the cylinder 2 is horizontal. The opening 23 of the cylinder 2 is located on the left side wall of the cylinder 2. The air inlet 21 of the cylinder 2 is located on the right side wall of the cylinder 2. The air outlet 22 of the cylinder 2 is located below the opening 23 of the cylinder 2. During operation, clothing is placed on the circumferential wall inside the cylinder 2, the opening 23 of the cylinder 2 is closed, air flows into the air inlet 21, passes through the clothing, and finally flows out of the cylinder 2 from the air outlet 22. This allows the clothing to be fully coated with active oxygen, thus improving the disinfection effect. The number of air inlets 21 can be set to one, two, or other suitable numbers according to actual needs. Similarly, the number of air outlets 22 can be set to one, two, or other suitable numbers according to actual needs. The shapes of the air inlets 21 and air outlets 22 can be, but are not limited to, circular, square, or elliptical.

[0038] See also Figure 1 In one or more embodiments, the air supply assembly 3 is disposed within the housing 1. The air supply assembly 3 is configured to form an airflow from the air inlet 21 to the air outlet 22 within the cylinder 2. The air supply assembly 3 includes a fan 31, an air duct 32, and a blower motor (not shown) that drives the fan 31 to rotate. The fan 31 is configured to generate an airflow. The air duct 32 covers the fan 31, i.e., the fan 31 is located inside the air duct 32. The air duct 32 provides suitable flow space for the airflow driven by the fan 31. The air duct 32 may be enclosed by a volute of a suitable material, such as ABS, PE, etc. The blower motor is located outside the air duct 32. The output shaft of the blower motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the fan 31 to drive the fan 31 to rotate. The rotating fan 31 provides flow power to the air inside the housing 1 to form an airflow. In one or more embodiments, the air duct 32 communicates with both the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22 to guide the airflow to the cylinder 2. During operation, the airflow passes sequentially through the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22, allowing air to circulate within the cylinder 2. This ensures that the active oxygen in the air fully adheres to the clothing, generating more hydroxyl free radicals and enhancing the sterilization and disinfection effect. Based on Figure 1 As shown, the fan 31 blows air vertically upwards into the air duct 32, realizing the circulation of air inside the housing 1.

[0039] See also Figure 1 In one or more embodiments, a rear air duct cover 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the rear plate 11 away from the receiving cavity. The fixing method between the rear air duct cover 9 and the rear plate 11 can be, but is not limited to, riveting or welding.

[0040] See also Figure 1In one or more embodiments, the active oxygen module 4 is disposed within the housing 1. The active oxygen module 4 is positioned near the air inlet 21 to provide active oxygen into the airflow. The active oxygen module 4 is disposed within the air duct 32. The active oxygen module 4 is fixed to the rear air duct cover 9. Figure 1 As shown, the active oxygen module 4 is located on the right side of the rear panel 11 and directly opposite the air inlet 21. The active oxygen module 4 includes an ionizing emitter 41 and a coil driver 42. The ionizing emitter 41 is configured to chemically react with oxygen in the air to produce active oxygen. During operation, the ionizing emitter 41 emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic radiation rays. The electromagnetic radiation rays can convert oxygen in the airflow into active oxygen, which is ozone. Active oxygen decomposes into hydroxyl radicals and other substances under full-spectrum light irradiation. Among them, hydroxyl radicals have a bactericidal and disinfecting effect. The ionizing emitter 41 is disposed inside the air duct 32. The ionizing emitter 41 is fixedly connected to the coil driver 42. The ionizing emitter 41 extends towards the air inlet 21 of the cylinder 2, so that most of the active oxygen generated by the ionizing emitter 41 enters the cylinder 2, increasing the concentration of active oxygen in the cylinder 2. The specific shape of the ionizing emitter 41 can be, but is not limited to, sheet-like or needle-like. The coil driver 42 is connected to the ionizing emitter 41 via a control line or communication device. The coil driver 42 drives the ionizing emitter 41 to emit rays capable of chemically reacting with air. The arrangement of the ionizing emitter 41 and the coil driver 42 allows for convenient and readily available use of activated oxygen. The coil driver 42 is located outside the air duct 32. Specifically, the coil driver 42 is fixedly mounted on the side of the rear air duct cover 9 away from the rear plate 11. The coil driver 42 is positioned near the air inlet 21.

[0041] See also Figure 1In one or more embodiments, the full-spectrum illumination module 5 is disposed within the housing 1. The full-spectrum illumination module 5 is located near the air outlet 22. The full-spectrum illumination module 5 is configured to emit full-spectrum light directed into the cylinder 2. The full-spectrum illumination module 5 may be, but is not limited to, a full-spectrum LED or a full-spectrum sun lamp. The full-spectrum illumination module 5 includes a lamp body 52 and a clip 53 fixedly disposed on the lamp body 52. ​​Full-spectrum light is a composite light composed of light of various different frequencies. Light of various different frequencies may be ultraviolet light, infrared light, green visible light, blue visible light, etc. The wavelength of full-spectrum light is close to that of sunlight. The proportion of red, green, and blue light in full-spectrum light is similar to that of sunlight; therefore, full-spectrum light is also called the spectrum of sunlight. The full-spectrum LED contains an appropriate amount of mercury in its light-emitting arc tube, thereby increasing the light energy of the ultraviolet portion. The full-spectrum LED also contains a suitable ratio of metal halides in its light-emitting arc tube, making the full-spectrum light emitted by the full-spectrum LED close to sunlight. The wavelength range of the full-spectrum light is 350nm-780nm. Specifically, the wavelength is 350nm, making it as close to natural light as possible, allowing clothes to receive exposure to sunlight-like conditions, resulting in excellent disinfection and sterilization effects, and even imparting a "sunshine scent" to the clothes. The color rendering index (CRI) of the full-spectrum light is greater than 97. Specifically, the CRI is 99, which more accurately reflects the color of the clothes, making it easier to observe the state of the clothes inside the drum 2, and providing a better user experience. The full-spectrum light can decompose active oxygen into hydroxyl radicals, and these hydroxyl radicals are used for clothing disinfection.

[0042] See also Figure 1 In one or more embodiments, the full-spectrum irradiation end 51 of the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 is opposite to the interior of the tube 2, so that the clothing inside the tube 2 can be irradiated with full-spectrum light. Specifically, the full-spectrum irradiation end 51 is the lamp head of the full-spectrum LED. The lamp head of the full-spectrum LED extends towards the interior of the tube 2. Based on Figure 1 As shown, the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 is located on the left side of the housing 1, near the upper part of the opening 23 of the cylinder 2. Clothes are placed inside the lower part of the cylinder 2. The irradiation end of the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 extends into the cylinder 2, with the irradiation end facing downward to the right, enabling full-spectrum light to irradiate the clothes, thereby converting the active oxygen attached to the clothes into hydroxyl radicals. In other words, the hydroxyl radicals on the clothes not only come from the air but also from the conversion of active oxygen on the clothes, increasing the content of hydroxyl radicals on the clothes and improving the sterilization and disinfection effect.

[0043] See also Figure 1 In one or more embodiments, the direction of illumination of at least a portion of the full-spectrum light is relative to the direction of the airflow. Based on Figure 1As shown, the airflow direction inside cylinder 2 is from right to left. The emission direction of full-spectrum light is from left to right. That is to say, the airflow direction is opposite to the emission direction of full-spectrum light, which allows the active oxygen in the airflow to be fully irradiated by full-spectrum light, thereby enabling more active oxygen in the airflow to participate in chemical reactions, producing more hydroxyl free radicals and improving the sterilization and disinfection effect.

[0044] See also Figure 1 In one or more embodiments, the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 is detachably connected to the housing 1. It is understood that the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 is a vulnerable component. The detachable connection facilitates the installation and removal of the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 from the housing 1, making maintenance easier and enhancing the practicality of the garment processing equipment 100. Specifically, the housing 1 is fixedly equipped with a support frame 6. Based on... Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 6 is located near the upper part of the opening 23 of the cylinder 2. The support frame 6 is provided with a slot. The buckle 53 of the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 can be engaged with the slot, which facilitates the installation and removal of the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 on the housing 1. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0045] In one or more embodiments, the garment handling apparatus 100 further includes a lighting module (not shown). The lighting module is fixedly disposed inside the housing 1. The lighting module is configured to emit illumination light directed towards the interior of the tubular body 2, illuminating the interior of the tubular body 2 for easy visual observation. The lighting module may be, but is not limited to, an incandescent lamp or an LED lamp. Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, the lighting module is located on the left side of the housing 1, above the opening 23 of the cylinder 2. The lighting module is fixedly mounted on the support frame 6. The irradiation end of the lighting module extends into the cylinder 2, with its direction pointing downwards and to the right, so that the lighting module emits illumination light into the cylinder 2, thus fully illuminating the interior of the cylinder 2 for easy access to clothing. The power of the lighting module is less than that of the full-spectrum illumination module 5. It is understandable that the higher-powered full-spectrum illumination module 5 emits brighter full-spectrum light, which can be harmful to the eyes. The lower-powered lighting module emits less bright light, which will not harm the eyes, resulting in a better user experience.

[0046] In one or more embodiments, a dynamic sealing ring (not shown in the figure) is fixedly provided on the front plate of the housing 1. See also... Figure 1 ,based on Figure 1 As shown, the dynamic sealing ring at the cylinder opening is located on the left side inside the housing 1. The dynamic sealing ring at the cylinder opening abuts against the opening 23 of the cylinder 2, preventing airflow from the gap between the opening 23 of the cylinder 2 and the front plate into the housing 1. A dynamic sealing ring at the bottom of the cylinder (not shown in the figure) is fixedly provided on the rear plate 11 of the housing 1. Figure 1As shown, the bottom dynamic sealing ring is located on the right side inside the shell 1. The bottom dynamic sealing ring abuts against the side of the cylinder 2 furthest from the opening 23, preventing airflow from the gap between the right side wall of the cylinder 2 and the rear plate 11 into the shell 1. The installation of the cylinder opening dynamic sealing ring and the bottom dynamic sealing ring improves the airtightness of the cylinder 2 and the air duct 32, preventing air from escaping to the outside, thereby preventing the leakage of active oxygen, increasing the active oxygen concentration inside the cylinder 2, and protecting the environment.

[0047] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the rear plate of the garment processing device of the present invention. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 Cross-sectional view of the active oxygen module in AA. See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one or more embodiments, a second sealing element 102 is provided between the coil driver 42 and the rear air duct cover 9 to improve the airtightness inside the housing 1, prevent active oxygen from escaping, and increase the active oxygen concentration inside the housing 1. A first sealing element 101 is provided at the connection between the rear air duct cover 9 and the rear plate 11 to improve the airtightness inside the housing 1, prevent active oxygen from escaping, and increase the active oxygen concentration inside the housing 1. The rear air duct cover 9 is fixedly provided with an air duct diverter 91. The air duct diverter 91 is located near the ventilation opening of the rear plate 11. The air duct diverter 91 extends along the airflow direction to allow air to flow smoothly into the ventilation opening and reduce wind resistance.

[0048] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the controller of the garment processing device of the present invention. (See also...) Figure 4 In one or more embodiments, the garment processing device 100 further includes a controller 10. The controller 10 is communicatively connected to both the lighting module and the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 to control their alternating operation, thus automating the garment processing device 100 and making it more convenient to use. The alternating operation of the lighting module and the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 distinguishes between the illumination and sterilization / disinfection functions, improving the user experience, and avoiding energy waste. During operation, when the garment inlet 12 is open, the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 is closed, and the lighting module is on. The lighting module provides low-intensity illumination to the inside of the cylinder 2, meeting the need to illuminate the garments without harming the eyes, providing a good user experience, and reducing the usage time of the full-spectrum irradiation module 5, thus extending its lifespan. When the garment inlet 12 is closed, the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 is on, and the lighting module is off, initiating the sterilization / disinfection process for the garments.

[0049] See also Figure 4In one or more embodiments, the controller 10 is communicatively connected to the lighting module via a control line or wireless device. The controller 10 is also communicatively connected to the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 via a control line or wireless device. The controller 10 contains a control program that automatically controls the alternating operation of the lighting module and the full-spectrum irradiation module 5, thereby automating the garment processing equipment 100, reducing user error, and improving user experience.

[0050] See also Figure 4 In one or more embodiments, the controller 10 is also communicatively connected to the active oxygen module 4 to control the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 and the active oxygen module 4 to work synchronously, making the garment treatment equipment 100 more automated and convenient to use. The controller 10 and the active oxygen module 4 are communicatively connected via a control line or wireless device, enabling the active oxygen module 4 and the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 to establish a communication connection and achieve automatic synchronous control of the active oxygen module 4 and the full-spectrum irradiation module 5. The control program inside the controller 10 can automatically control the active oxygen module 4 and the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 to work simultaneously to improve the production efficiency of hydroxyl radicals, thereby improving the disinfection and sterilization efficiency.

[0051] See also Figure 1 In one or more embodiments, a filter 7 for filtering impurities in the airflow is provided within the air duct 32. Specifically, the filter 7 is fixedly disposed on the inner sidewall of the air duct 32. Figure 1 As shown, filter 7 is located at the lower part of the air outlet 22 of cylinder 2, which can better filter out impurities from clothing in the airflow, reduce impurities in the irradiation area of ​​the full-spectrum irradiation module 5, reduce the obstruction of clothing by impurities, and fully irradiate the clothing, thereby improving the sterilization and disinfection efficiency. In addition, by filtering out impurities, filter 7 reduces the adhesion of active oxygen to impurities, increases the active oxygen content on clothing, and further improves the sterilization and disinfection efficiency of clothing.

[0052] See also Figure 1 In one or more embodiments, the garment handling device 100 further includes a condenser 8. The condenser 8 is disposed within the air duct 32. The condenser 8 is used to absorb heat from the airflow to lower the temperature of the airflow, thereby lowering the temperature of the garment. It is understood that the full-spectrum irradiation module 5 provides high full-spectrum light irradiation energy, resulting in a higher temperature of the irradiated garment. Since wool or silk garments are easily damaged at high temperatures, the condenser 8 can lower the temperature of the garment, thereby protecting it.

[0053] In one or more embodiments, the garment handling device 100 further includes a temperature sensor (not shown). See also... Figure 1A temperature sensor is installed on the wall of the drum 2. The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the clothes inside the drum 2. The temperature sensor communicates with the controller 10 via a control line or wireless device, transmitting the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor to the controller 10. This allows the program inside the controller 10 to execute control commands, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the condenser 8. Research has shown that hydroxyl radicals have the best bactericidal and disinfecting effect on clothes when the temperature of the clothes is in the range of 40-50℃. When the temperature measured by the temperature sensor is higher than 50℃, the condenser 8 is turned on to lower the temperature of the clothes. When the temperature measured by the temperature sensor is lower than 50℃, the condenser 8 is turned off to ensure a good bactericidal and disinfecting effect on the clothes.
