DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0090] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0091] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 43 The laundry treating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0092] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and 19- Fig. 27As shown, the clothing processing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a clothing processing module and a panel. The clothing processing module includes a base 32. A suction area 321 is formed in the base 32. An air circulation device (not shown) is installed in the suction area 321. The panel at least partially covers the clothing processing module. There is a gap between the suction area 321 and the panel. The air circulation device is suitable for driving air flow in the up and down directions through the gap.

[0093] According to the clothing processing device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a gap is formed between the suction area 321 of the clothing processing module and the panel, so that the air outside the clothing processing module can flow through the gap and be introduced into the suction area 321, so that the fresh air introduced from outside the clothing processing module can be used to dissipate the heat of the components in the clothing processing module, or the introduced fresh air can be used to participate in the air flow circulation inside the clothing processing module. The air in the clothing processing module can also be discharged through the gap, and there is no need to open separate holes in structures such as the panel, thereby avoiding affecting the strength of these structures, simplifying the structure, and improving production efficiency.

[0094] The air circulation device is formed as a cooling fan. In this embodiment, the clothing processing module is a clothes drying module, and the panel is configured to include a front panel 12, etc. The panel can cover the outside of the clothes drying module to form a shell, and there is a gap 324 between the base 32 of the clothes drying module and the front panel; the base 32 of the clothes drying module is provided with a cooling fan installation cavity for installing a cooling fan, a heat pump installation cavity 323 for installing a heat pump system, and a fan installation cavity 322 for installing a fan, and the air suction area 321 forms a cooling fan installation cavity. When the clothes drying module is working, under the action of the cooling fan, the air in the gap 324 between the air suction area 321 and the panel can flow in the up and down directions.

[0095] like Figure 25 to Figure 27 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the clothing processing module also includes a reinforcing plate 33, which is installed under the base 32, wherein the reinforcing plate 33 has a channel running through it along its thickness direction, which is used to allow outside air to enter the base 32 or to discharge the air in the base 32, and at least a portion of the channel is connected to the gap.

[0096] Therefore, by installing the reinforcing plate 33 under the base 32, not only can the structural strength of the base 32 be improved, but also there is no need to make major adjustments to the original structure of the base 32. It is only necessary to pre-install the reinforcing plate 33 on the original base 32, and assemble the original clothing processing module to the support frame 11 through the reinforcing plate 33, thereby reducing costs. In addition, by providing a channel on the reinforcing plate 33, external air can enter the base 32 through the channel, or the air in the base 32 can be discharged to the outside through the channel, thereby improving the working efficiency of the clothing processing module.

[0097] In some embodiments, the channel includes an avoidance notch 336, which is formed at the outer periphery of the reinforcing plate 33 adjacent to the air suction area 321, and the avoidance notch 336 is connected to the gap, and the air circulation device is suitable for driving the air below the reinforcing plate 33 to be sucked into the gap from the avoidance notch 336 and flow into the base 32. Fig.25 The reinforcing plate 33 is formed with an avoidance gap 336 near the position corresponding to the air suction area 321, so that the air below the reinforcing plate 33 can be sucked into the base 32 from the avoidance gap 336 under the action of the air circulation device, so that the cooling fan can draw air upward from the avoidance gap 336 when working to cool the heat pump system.

[0098] In some embodiments, the channel includes ventilation holes, the reinforcing plate 33 has an extension portion that exceeds the outer periphery of the base 32, and at least a portion of the ventilation holes is provided in the extension portion. That is, on the horizontal plane where the reinforcing plate 33 is located, the extension portion extends to the gap between the air suction area 321 and the panel, so that the air above and below the extension portion is connected through the ventilation holes, and this part of the air can flow up and down under the drive of the air circulation device.

[0099] According to a further embodiment of the present invention, Fig.21 and Fig.24 As shown, the reinforcing plate 33 includes a first plate portion 331 located in the middle and a second plate portion 332 surrounding the first plate portion 331, and an extension portion is formed on the second plate portion 332. For example, one of the first plate portion 331 and the second plate portion 332 is provided with a ventilation hole; or each of the first plate portion 331 and the second plate portion 332 is provided with a ventilation hole, and the specific position of the ventilation hole can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0100] In some examples, the ventilation holes include a plurality of first ventilation holes 3311 and a plurality of second ventilation holes 3321, wherein the plurality of first ventilation holes 3311 are arranged at intervals on the first plate portion 331, and the plurality of second ventilation holes 3321 are arranged at intervals on an extension portion of the second plate portion 332.

By providing the reinforcing protrusion 3323 protruding upward on the upper surface of the second plate portion 332, the structural strength of the reinforcing plate 33 can be improved, thereby improving the supporting strength of the reinforcing plate 33 on the base 32.

[0107] In some examples, the reinforcing protrusion 3323 includes multiple reinforcing protrusions 3323, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first plate portion 331, which can increase the distribution range of the reinforcing recesses 3313 on the second plate portion 332 and further improve the structural strength of the second plate portion 332 of the reinforcing plate 33.

[0108] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the outer periphery of the reinforcing plate 33 is provided with an upwardly bent fixed flange 333, and the fixed flange 333 is provided with a fixing hole 3331 for installing a connector. For example, the fixed flange 333 can be fixed to the base 32 by a connector.

[0109] In some embodiments, the fixed flange 333 has a socket 3332 that passes through it along its thickness direction, and a mounting boss 3324 is provided at a position adjacent to the socket 3332 of the reinforcing plate 33, and a mounting hole is provided at the top of the mounting boss 3324, which has a simple structure and is easy to process and manufacture.

The support frame 11 serves as the skeleton of the box 10 of the clothes processing device 11, which can not only ensure the structural strength of the box 10, but also support the components inside the box 10.

[0111] In some examples, the support frame 11 may be provided with an inwardly extending plug-in portion (not shown), which extends from the insertion hole 3332 to the top of the mounting boss 3324, thereby fixing the plug-in portion on the mounting boss 3324 to achieve connection between the support frame 11 and the reinforcement plate 33.

[0112] In some examples, the outer periphery of the reinforcing plate 33 is provided with a first mounting flange 334 bent upward for connecting to the support frame 11. For example, a through hole or a hook or other structure may be provided on the first mounting flange 334, so as to facilitate the connection of the reinforcing plate 33 with the support frame 11 through the first mounting flange 334. Similarly, the outer periphery of the reinforcing plate 33 is also provided with a second mounting flange 335 bent upward, so as to facilitate the connection of the reinforcing plate 33 with the base 32.
