Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and in particular to a condensation structure and a clothing processing drum. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, some garment processing equipment has an external condensation structure and air duct. The air duct is connected to the condensation structure, where water flows downwards and air flows upwards. When the airflow is too strong, it will disperse the downward-flowing water. Some of the dispersed water will be carried upwards by the airflow, thus accumulating at the top of the condensation structure and eventually entering the fan in the air duct, affecting the reliability of the fan. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, this disclosure provides a condensation structure and a clothes handling drum.

[0004] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a condensation structure is provided, comprising:

[0005] End cap, with a condensation channel inside;

[0006] A condensate inlet is provided on the end cap, and the condensate inlet is used to introduce water into the condensate channel;

[0007] A water-blocking structure is installed inside the condensation channel, with the highest point of the water-blocking structure being higher than the condensation inlet and the lowest point of the water-blocking structure being lower than the condensation inlet.

[0008] In this embodiment, by setting the highest point of the water-blocking structure to be higher than the condenser inlet and the lowest point of the water-blocking structure to be lower than the condenser inlet, on the one hand, the water flowing out of the condenser inlet can be blocked, preventing the water flow from being too rapid and flowing above the water-blocking structure. On the other hand, when the water flow is impacted and splashed by the airflow, the water-blocking structure can block the splashed water from moving upward, preventing it from adhering to the top of the condenser structure and flowing into the air duct. This avoids the problem of water erosion of the air duct and the components inside the air duct, reducing the probability of failure caused by water intrusion into the air duct. Water adhering to the top of the condenser structure can flow to the lowest point of the water-blocking structure, further preventing water from accumulating on the top of the condenser structure.

[0009] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the water-blocking structure includes:

[0010] A water baffle is connected to the inner side of the end cap and extends downward at an angle away from the end cap.

[0011] In this embodiment, by connecting one end of the baffle plate to the inside of the end cover and extending the other end of the baffle plate downwards in a direction away from the end cover, it is beneficial to guide the water flow that splashes and disperses onto the baffle plate. The inclined plate surface allows the attached water flow to slide down smoothly and quickly flow into the condensation channel, avoiding water accumulation on the baffle plate. This prevents the water flow from being carried by the airflow and passing over the top of the baffle plate into the air duct, thus preventing water flow from eroding the components inside the air duct and improving the reliability of the condensation structure.

[0012] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the baffle plate includes a first edge line disposed away from the end cap, and the first edge line extends downwardly in a direction from one end near the condensate inlet to one end away from the condensate inlet.

[0013] In this embodiment, the end of the first edge line near the condenser inlet is higher than the end of the first edge line away from the condenser inlet, which effectively prevents water from splashing over the baffle plate due to excessive water flow impact. As the first edge line gradually extends downward away from the condenser inlet, the size of the baffle plate at the end away from the condenser inlet increases, which improves the water flow blocking effect, prevents water from being carried by airflow over the baffle plate and entering the air duct, avoids water erosion of components inside the air duct, and improves the reliability of the condenser structure.

[0014] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first edge line has an included angle α with respect to the horizontal plane, the included angle α satisfying 10°≥α≥3°.

[0015] In this embodiment, by setting 10°≥α≥3°, the inclination angle of the first edge line is neither too large nor too small. This ensures that the size of the baffle plate at the end away from the condenser inlet is not too large, guaranteeing the contact area between the water flow and the airflow and improving the condensation effect of the water flow on the airflow. It also ensures that the size of the baffle plate at the end away from the condenser inlet is not too small, guaranteeing the baffle plate's blocking effect on the water flow and preventing the water flow from being carried by the airflow past the top of the baffle plate and entering the air duct. This avoids water flow eroding the components inside the air duct and improves the reliability of the condensation structure.

[0016] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the water-blocking structure further includes:

[0017] A first water-blocking side plate is disposed between the water-blocking plate and the end cap, and the first water-blocking side plate is connected to the end of the water-blocking plate away from the condensate inlet.

[0018] In this embodiment, by setting a first water-blocking side plate, the blocking effect on the water flow can be improved, preventing the water flow from being dispersed by the airflow and splashing to the top of the water-blocking structure, thereby improving the water-blocking effect of the water-blocking structure and preventing water flow from entering the air duct.

[0019] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the water-blocking structure further includes:

[0020] A second water-blocking side plate is disposed between the water-blocking plate and the end cap, and the second water-blocking side plate is connected to the end of the water-blocking plate near the condensate inlet.

[0021] In this embodiment, by setting a second water-blocking structure, the blocking effect on the water flow is further improved. The splashing water flow can be blocked between the water-blocking structure and the end cap, preventing the water flow from splashing to the top of the water-blocking structure, thus improving the water-blocking effect of the water-blocking structure and preventing water flow from entering the air duct.

[0022] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the end cap is provided with a first connecting portion, the water-blocking structure is provided with a second connecting portion, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion correspond to each other, and fasteners pass through the second connecting portion and the first connecting portion to connect the water-blocking structure to the end cap.

[0023] In this embodiment, the water-blocking structure and the end cover are connected by fasteners, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the water-blocking structure and improves the maintenance convenience of the condensation structure. When the water-blocking structure is damaged, aged, or its water-blocking effect decreases due to long-term use, maintenance personnel can remove the water-blocking structure from the end cover separately, effectively shortening maintenance time and reducing maintenance costs.

[0024] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a plurality of first baffles and a plurality of second baffles are provided on the inner side of the end cap. The first baffles and the second baffles are alternately arranged below the condensate inlet. The first baffles extend downward from the first side of the end cap toward the second side of the end cap, and the second baffles extend downward from the second side of the end cap toward the first side of the end cap. The first side and the second side are two sides arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction.

[0025] On the horizontal plane projection, the adjacent first baffle and second baffle at least partially overlap.

[0026] In this embodiment, by setting a first baffle and a second baffle, the falling speed of the water flow is slowed down, increasing the time the water flows through the condensation channel, thereby improving the condensation effect of the water flow on the airflow. The first and second baffles guide the water flow, extending its path and increasing the time it spends in the condensation channel, thus improving the condensation effect. On the horizontal plane, adjacent first and second baffles at least partially overlap to ensure that all water flowing past the first baffle falls onto the second baffle, improving the guiding effect and preventing some water from flowing directly to the bottom of the condensation channel without being guided by either the first or second baffle, thus improving the condensation efficiency of the water flow on the airflow.

[0027] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the water-blocking structure is integrally formed with the end cap.

[0028] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a garment processing apparatus is provided, including the condensation structure described above.

[0029] In this embodiment, the water-blocking structure in the condensation structure effectively prevents water from being dispersed and entering the air duct due to excessive wind force, thus avoiding damage to the fan and other structures within the air duct by moisture. When water flows into the condensation channel through the condensation inlet, the water exchanges heat with the air flowing into the condensation channel, condensing the moisture in the air. The highest point of the water-blocking structure is higher than the condensation inlet, and the lowest point is lower than the condensation inlet. This serves two purposes: firstly, it blocks the water flowing out of the condensation inlet, preventing the water from flowing too rapidly and reaching above the water-blocking structure; secondly, when the water is dispersed and splashed by the airflow, the water-blocking structure prevents the splashed water from moving upwards, preventing it from adhering to the top of the condensation structure and flowing into the air duct. This avoids water erosion of the air duct and its components, reducing the probability of malfunctions caused by moisture intrusion into the air duct. Water adhering to the top of the condensation structure can flow to the lowest point of the water-blocking structure, further preventing moisture accumulation on the top of the condensation structure.

[0030] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the garment processing device further includes:

[0031] An outer tank, the outer tank including a bottom wall and a side wall, the side wall being connected to the bottom wall around the bottom wall, and the condensation structure being connected to the side of the bottom wall away from the side wall;

[0032] An air duct is provided on the periphery of the outer tub, one end of the air duct is connected to the interior of the outer tub, and the other end of the air duct is connected to the condensation channel, which is connected to the interior of the outer tub.

[0033] A fan is installed in the air duct above the condensing structure. The fan drives the air in the air duct to flow sequentially through the interior of the outer barrel and the condensing channel.

[0034] In this embodiment, by setting a water-blocking structure in the condensation channel, splashing water can be prevented from being carried upward by the airflow, thereby preventing water from entering the air duct, avoiding the problem of water erosion of the components in the air duct, and reducing the probability of clothing processing equipment failure caused by water intrusion into the air duct.

[0035] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects:

[0036] The condensing structure provided in this disclosure, by setting the highest point of the water-blocking structure above the condensing water inlet and the lowest point of the water-blocking structure below the condensing water inlet, can, on the one hand, block the water flow from the condensing water inlet, preventing the water flow from being too rapid and flowing above the water-blocking structure; on the other hand, when the water flow is impacted and splashed by the airflow, the water-blocking structure can prevent the splashed water from moving upward, preventing it from adhering to the top of the condensing structure and flowing into the air duct, thereby avoiding the problem of water erosion of the air duct and the components inside the air duct, reducing the probability of failure caused by water intrusion into the air duct, and the water adhering to the top of the condensing structure can flow to the lowest point of the water-blocking structure, further preventing water from accumulating on the top of the condensing structure.

Detailed Implementation

[0044] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0045] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a condensation structure 1, see [link to example]. Figures 1-3 The condensation structure 1 includes an end cap 11, a condensation inlet 12, and a water-blocking structure 13. Exemplarily, the condensation structure 1 is used in a garment processing device to condense moisture in the air within an external air duct.

[0046] See Figures 1-3 The end cap 11 has a condensation channel 111 inside, and a condensation inlet 12 is provided on the end cap 11. The condensation inlet 12 is used to introduce water into the condensation channel 111.

[0047] The water-blocking structure 13 is installed inside the condensation channel 111. When the wind force is too strong, the water flowing into the condensation channel 111 is dispersed and carried to the top of the condensation structure 1. The water-blocking structure 13 is used to prevent the water adhering to the top of the condensation structure 1 from entering the air duct. The highest point of the water-blocking structure 13 is higher than the condensation inlet 12, and the lowest point of the water-blocking structure 13 is lower than the condensation inlet 12.

[0048] In this embodiment, by setting the water-blocking structure 13, the problem of water flow being dispersed and entering the air duct due to excessive wind force can be effectively avoided, thus preventing water from damaging the fan and other structures in the air duct. When the condenser inlet 12 flows water into the condenser channel 111, the water flows into the condenser channel 111 and exchanges heat with the air flowing into the condenser channel 111, thereby condensing the moisture in the air. The highest point of the water-blocking structure 13 is higher than the condenser inlet 12, and the lowest point of the water-blocking structure 13 is lower than the condenser inlet 12. On the one hand, it can block the water flowing out of the condenser inlet 12, preventing the water from flowing too fast and flowing to the top of the water-blocking structure 13 and into the air duct. On the other hand, when the water is impacted and splashed by the airflow, the water-blocking structure 13 can block the splashed water from moving upward, preventing it from adhering to the top of the condenser structure 1 and flowing into the air duct. This avoids the problem of water erosion of the air duct and the components inside the air duct, and reduces the probability of failure caused by water intrusion into the air duct. The water adhering to the top of the condenser structure 1 can flow to the lowest point of the water-blocking structure 13, further preventing water from accumulating on the top of the condenser structure 1.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figures 1-3 The water-blocking structure 13 includes a water-blocking plate 131, which is located inside the condensation channel 111. The water-blocking plate 131 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane. One end of the water-blocking plate 131 is connected to the inner side of the end cover 11, and the other end of the water-blocking plate 131 extends downward in an inclined direction away from the end cover 11.

[0050] In this embodiment, by connecting one end of the baffle plate 131 to the inner side of the end cover 11, and extending the other end of the baffle plate 131 downwards in a direction away from the end cover 11, it is beneficial to guide the water flow that splashes and disperses onto the baffle plate 131. When the wind force is too strong and causes the water flow to be dispersed and splash onto the baffle plate 131, the inclined plate surface can allow the attached water flow to slide down smoothly and quickly flow into the condensation channel 111, avoiding water accumulation on the baffle plate 131. This prevents the water flow from being carried by the airflow and passing over the top of the baffle plate 131 into the air duct, avoiding water flow erosion of the components in the air duct, and improving the reliability of the condensation structure 1.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figures 1-3 The baffle plate 131 includes a first edge line 1311, which is disposed away from the end cover 11, and the lowest point of the baffle structure 13 is located on the first edge line 1311. The first edge line 1311 extends downward at an angle from one end near the condensate inlet 12 to the other end away from the condensate inlet 12.

[0052] In this embodiment, see Figures 1-3The end of the first edge line 1311 near the condenser inlet 12 is higher than the end of the first edge line 1311 away from the condenser inlet 12, which can effectively prevent water from splashing over the baffle plate 131 due to excessive water flow impact. As the first edge line 1311 gradually extends downward away from the condenser inlet 12, the size of the baffle plate 131 at the end away from the condenser inlet 12 increases, which can improve the blocking effect on water flow, prevent water flow from being carried by airflow over the baffle plate 131 and entering the air duct, prevent water flow from eroding the components in the air duct, and improve the reliability of the condenser structure 1.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figures 1-3 The first edge line 1311 has an angle α with respect to the horizontal plane, where α satisfies 10° ≥ α ≥ 3°. When the angle α is greater than 10°, the inclination angle of the first edge line 1311 is too large, resulting in an excessively large size of the baffle plate 131 at the end away from the condenser inlet 12. This affects the contact area between the water flow and the airflow, making the contact area too small and reducing the condensation effect of the water flow on the airflow. When the angle α is less than 3°, the inclination angle of the first edge line 1311 is too flat, resulting in an excessively small size of the baffle plate 131 at the end away from the condenser inlet 12. This reduces the blocking effect of the baffle plate 131 on the water flow, making it easier for the water flow to be carried by the airflow and pass over the baffle plate 131 into the air duct. In this embodiment, by setting 10°≥α≥3°, the tilt angle of the first edge line 1311 is neither too large nor too small. This ensures that the size of the baffle plate 131 at the end away from the condenser inlet 12 is not too large, guaranteeing the contact area between the water flow and the airflow and improving the condensation effect of the water flow on the airflow. It also ensures that the size of the baffle plate 131 at the end away from the condenser inlet 12 is not too small, guaranteeing the blocking effect of the baffle plate 131 on the water flow and preventing the water flow from being carried by the airflow past the top of the baffle plate 131 and entering the air duct. This avoids the water flow eroding the components inside the air duct and improves the reliability of the condensation structure 1.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figures 1-3The water-blocking structure 13 also includes a first water-blocking side plate 132, which is disposed between the water-blocking plate 131 and the end cap 11. One end of the first water-blocking side plate 132 is connected to the end of the water-blocking plate 131 facing away from the condensate inlet 12, and the other end of the first water-blocking side plate 132 abuts against the end cap 11 to prevent water from overflowing through the gap between the end cap 11 and the first water-blocking side plate 132, thereby improving the water-blocking effect of the water-blocking structure 13. For example, the first water-blocking side plate 132 is integrally formed with the water-blocking plate 131 to improve the connection strength between them. In this embodiment, by providing the first water-blocking side plate 132, the blocking effect on water flow can be improved, preventing water from being dispersed by airflow and splashing to the top of the water-blocking structure 13, thus improving the water-blocking effect of the water-blocking structure 13 and preventing water from entering the air duct.

[0055] In some embodiments, the water-blocking structure 13 further includes a second water-blocking side plate 133, which is disposed between the water-blocking plate 131 and the end cap 11. One end of the second water-blocking side plate 133 is connected to the end of the water-blocking plate 131 near the condensate inlet 12, and the other end of the second water-blocking side plate 133 abuts against the inner side of the end cap 11 to prevent water from overflowing through the gap between the end cap 11 and the second water-blocking side plate 133, thereby improving the water-blocking effect of the water-blocking structure 13. Exemplarily, the second water-blocking side plate 133 is integrally formed with the water-blocking plate 131 to improve the connection strength between the second water-blocking side plate 133 and the water-blocking plate 131. In this embodiment, by providing the second water-blocking structure 13, the blocking effect on water flow is further improved. Splashing water can be blocked between the water-blocking structure 13 and the end cap 11, preventing water from splashing to the top of the water-blocking structure 13, thus improving the water-blocking effect of the water-blocking structure 13 and preventing water from entering the air duct.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figures 1-3 The end cap 11 is provided with a first connecting portion 112, which is integrally formed on the end cap 11. The water-blocking structure 13 is provided with a second connecting portion 134, which is integrally formed on the water-blocking plate 131. The first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 134 correspond to each other. Fasteners pass through the second connecting portion 134 and the first connecting portion 112 to connect the water-blocking structure 13 to the end cap 11. For example, at least two first connecting portions 112 are provided, and each second connecting portion 134 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the first connecting portion 112, so as to improve the connection strength between the water-blocking structure 13 and the end cap 11 and prevent the water-blocking structure 13 from shaking relative to the end cap 11 and reducing the water-blocking effect.

[0057] In this embodiment, the water-blocking structure 13 and the end cover 11 are connected by fasteners to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the water-blocking structure 13, thereby improving the maintenance convenience of the condensation structure 1. When the water-blocking structure 13 is damaged, aged, or its water-blocking effect decreases due to long-term use, maintenance personnel can remove the water-blocking structure 13 from the end cover 11 separately, effectively shortening maintenance time and reducing maintenance costs.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figures 1-3 The inner side of the end cap 11 is provided with multiple first baffles 14 and multiple second baffles 15. The first baffles 14 and the second baffles 15 are staggered below the condenser inlet 12. By setting the first baffles 14 and the second baffles 15, the falling speed of the water flow is slowed down, and the time the water flows through the condenser channel 111 is increased, thereby improving the condensation effect of the water flow on the airflow. The first baffles 14 extend downward from the first side 16 of the end cap 11 to the second side 17 of the end cap 11, and the second baffles 15 extend downward from the second side 17 of the end cap 11 to the first side 16 of the end cap 11. The first side 16 and the second side 17 are two sides arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction. The first baffles 14 and the second baffles 15 guide the water flow, prolong the flow path of the water flow, increase the time the water flows through the condenser channel 111, thereby improving the condensation effect of the water flow on the airflow. On the horizontal plane projection, the adjacent first baffle 14 and second baffle 15 at least partially overlap to ensure that all the water flowing through the first guide plate falls onto the second baffle 15, which can improve the guiding effect of the water flow and prevent some water from flowing directly to the bottom of the condensation channel 111 without passing through the guidance of the first baffle 14 or the second baffle 15, thereby improving the condensation efficiency of the water flow on the airflow.

[0059] In some embodiments, the water-blocking structure 13 and the end cap 11 are integrally formed, which helps to improve the structural strength and sealing of the connection between the water-blocking structure 13 and the end cap 11. The integrally formed connection method can avoid the formation of gaps at the connection, thereby preventing water or water vapor in the condensation channel 111 from leaking from the connection to the top of the water-blocking structure 13, and further reducing the risk of air duct erosion.

[0060] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure also provides a garment processing device, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-3 Including the condensation structure 1 as described above, the clothing processing device in this embodiment possesses the technical effects of the condensation structure 1. For example, the clothing processing device can be a drum washing machine, with the condensation structure 1 disposed on the rear side of the outer tub of the drum washing machine, and an air duct disposed above the condensation structure 1.

[0061] In this embodiment, the water-blocking structure 13 in the condensation structure 1 effectively prevents water from being dispersed and entering the air duct due to excessive wind force, thus preventing water from damaging the fan and other structures in the air duct. When the condensation inlet 12 flows water into the condensation channel 111, the water flows into the condensation channel 111 and exchanges heat with the air flowing into the condensation channel 111, thereby condensing the moisture in the air. The highest point of the water-blocking structure 13 is higher than the condenser inlet 12, and the lowest point of the water-blocking structure 13 is lower than the condenser inlet 12. On the one hand, it can block the water flowing out of the condenser inlet 12 to prevent the water from flowing too fast and flowing above the water-blocking structure 13. On the other hand, when the water is impacted and splashed by the airflow, the water-blocking structure 13 can block the splashed water from moving upward and prevent it from adhering to the top of the condenser structure 1 and flowing into the air duct. This avoids the problem of water erosion of the air duct and the components in the air duct, and reduces the probability of failure caused by water intrusion into the air duct. The water adhering to the top of the condenser structure 1 can flow to the lowest point of the water-blocking structure 13, further preventing water from accumulating on the top of the condenser structure 1.

[0062] In some embodiments, the garment handling apparatus further includes an outer tub, an air duct, and a fan. The outer tub includes a bottom wall and a side wall, the side wall being connected to the bottom wall around it, and a condensing structure 1 being connected to the side of the bottom wall away from the side wall. Exemplarily, the garment handling apparatus can be a drum washing machine, with the condensing structure 1 connected to the outer side of the bottom wall of the outer tub.

[0063] The air duct is located around the outer tub, above the condensing structure 1. One end of the duct connects to the interior of the outer tub, and the other end connects to the condensing channel 111, which in turn connects to the interior of the outer tub. A fan is positioned within the duct above the condensing structure 1. The fan drives the air within the duct to flow sequentially through the interior of the outer tub and the condensing channel 111, creating an upward airflow within the condensing channel 111. Water is introduced into the condensing channel 111 through the condensing inlet 12. The water cools the airflow in the condensing channel 111 and condenses the moisture in the airflow, reducing its humidity and temperature. A water-blocking structure 13 is installed within the condensing channel 111. The highest point of the water-blocking structure 13 is higher than the condensing inlet 12, and the lowest point is lower than the condensing inlet 12. This prevents splashing water from being carried upwards by the airflow, thus preventing water from entering the duct and avoiding water erosion of the components within the duct. This reduces the probability of malfunctions in the garment processing equipment caused by moisture intrusion into the duct.
