Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lint filtering, and in particular to a lint filter with a self-cleaning function and a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] The drying principle of clothes processing equipment with drying function is mainly that the hot air generated after the air is heated is transported to the inner drum of the clothes processing equipment to dry the clothes in the inner drum. In the existing clothes processing equipment with drying function, due to the air circulation, during the drying process, the air will carry the lint on the clothes to various locations such as the condenser and the inner drum, which will affect the drying performance of the clothes processing equipment as time accumulates. In addition, after each drying, lint will remain on the glass and window pad of the clothes processing equipment, which leads to poor user experience.

[0003] In order to solve the above problem, in the prior art, a lint filter is provided at the air outlet of the clothing processing device, and the water in the lint filter contacts the air to filter the lint in the air, thereby preventing too much lint from remaining in the clothing processing device. However, when filtering the air with water, the windward side wall of the lint filter is impacted by the air for a long time, and lint will stick to the side wall. When the water in the lint filter is discharged after the filtering is completed, lint will also remain in the lint filter, which affects the reuse effect and service life of the lint filter.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] This embodiment provides a lint filter, which can be applied to a clothes processing device with a drying function, and can also be used in other devices that require air filtration. This embodiment takes a clothes processing device as an example. During the drying process, the lint filter can filter air with lint to prevent lint from accumulating in the condenser or inner drum. At the same time, the lint filter can also clean the lint remaining on its inner wall to prevent lint from remaining on the side wall of the lint filter during or after use, affecting its performance and life.

[0032] In this embodiment, Figure 1-3 As shown, the lint filter includes a housing 1, on which an air inlet 2 and an air outlet 5 are provided, wherein the air inlet 2 is used for allowing air carrying lint to enter, and the air inlet 2 can be connected to a clothing processing device, so that the air carrying lint in the inner drum of the clothing processing device enters the lint filter through the air inlet 2. The air outlet 5 is used for allowing filtered air to pass. The air outlet 5 can be connected to the condensation channel of the drying module of the clothing processing device, and enter the inner drum after condensation by the drying module. In this embodiment, the position of the air outlet 5 is higher than the position of the air inlet 2.

[0033] The housing 1 of this embodiment has a chamber formed inside, and a water storage area 6 is provided at the bottom of the chamber. Water is contained in the water storage area 6, and the water can be added manually or delivered by a clothing processing device (such as condensed water). The water can be added to the water storage area 6 from the air outlet 5, or it can be added by opening a water inlet 4 on the housing 1. Through the provision of the water storage area 6, air carrying lint enters the chamber through the air inlet 2, and is filtered by the water in the water storage area 6, and then flows out through the air outlet 5 to filter the air.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to prevent the lint filter from having air entering through the air inlet 2 impact the inner wall (the first inner wall in this embodiment) opposite to the air inlet 2 for a long time during the filtering process, so that lint remains on the first inner wall, or after the filtering is completed and the drainage is completed, the lint does not flow out of the lint filter with the water but remains on the inner wall of the lint filter. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a cleaning unit is provided in the chamber, and the cleaning unit can clean the first inner side wall, and preferably can also clean the inner wall of the entire lint filter. The cleaning unit includes a cleaning chamber 3 and a water inlet 4 connected to the cleaning chamber 3, and the water inlet 4 is used to transport cleaning water to the cleaning chamber 3. The cleaning chamber 3 is provided with a plurality of spray holes 31, and the spray holes 31 can spray the water in the cleaning chamber 3 onto the first inner side wall and / or other inner walls.

[0035] As a preferred technical solution, the above-mentioned cleaning chamber 3 of this embodiment is placed in the chamber and above the air inlet 2, and one side wall of the cleaning chamber 3 is formed by a portion of the first inner wall, that is, the cleaning chamber 3 includes a top wall, a bottom wall and two side walls, one of which is a portion of the first inner wall, and the other side wall can be set separately as needed, or it can be formed by a portion of the inner wall of the shell 1 where the air inlet 2 is set (referred to as the second inner wall in this embodiment), that is, it is formed by a portion of the second inner wall.

[0036] The spray hole 31 is provided at the connection position between the bottom wall of the cleaning chamber 3 and the first inner wall, and the water in the cleaning chamber 3 can flow out through the spray hole 31 and flow on the first inner wall, thereby washing away the residual wire scraps on the first inner wall. Of course, it is understandable that the spray hole 31 can also be provided at the connection position between the bottom wall of the cleaning chamber 3 and the second inner wall or at other positions (such as the connection position between the bottom wall and the side wall of the housing 1 adjacent to the first inner wall) to achieve washing of other inner walls outside the first inner wall.

[0037] In this embodiment, preferably, the spray holes 31 are arranged at equal intervals, and the spray holes 31 can be arranged at an angle in the cleaning chamber 3 , so that the water in the cleaning chamber 3 can have sufficient flushing force to flush the wire scraps on the inner wall of the shell 1 .

[0038] In the present embodiment, optionally, the bottom wall of the cleaning chamber 3 is an inclined plane, and the bottom wall is inclined downward relative to the vertical plane and is arranged at an acute angle to the vertical plane, thereby facilitating the water entering through the water inlet 4 to quickly flow into the cleaning chamber 3, and can quickly flow out through the spray hole 31 through the downward component of its own gravity, thereby achieving the purpose of efficiently flushing the wire scraps on the inner wall of the shell 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, the water inlet 4 is arranged on the outside of the shell 1 , which can be directly connected to tap water or to a condensation channel of the clothing processing device so that condensed water can flow into the washing chamber 3 .

[0040] Furthermore, in order to better filter the wire chips in the air, Figure 2 As shown, the lint filter is provided with a baffle structure in the chamber, and optionally, the two sides of the baffle structure are respectively fixed to the first inner side wall and the second inner side wall of the shell 1. And the connection position of the top wall and the bottom wall of the cleaning chamber 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle structure, and the other end of the baffle structure is partially placed in the water storage area 6. The baffle structure and the cleaning chamber 3 can together divide the chamber into a first chamber 7 and a second chamber 8, the first chamber 7 is connected to the air inlet 2, and the second chamber 8 is connected to the air outlet 5, and the first chamber 7 and the second chamber 8 are connected through the underwater area of ​​the water storage area 6. The air outlet 5 is located at the top of the shell 1, and the air inlet 2 is located in the middle of the shell 1, and the air outlet 5 and the air inlet 2 can be separated from the cleaning chamber 3 by the baffle structure. Air carrying lint can enter the first chamber 7 from the air inlet 2, and then be discharged through the second chamber 8 and the air outlet 5 after being filtered by the water in the water storage area 6.

[0041] When the above-mentioned lint filter is filtering the air, it can generate suction at the air outlet 5 (for example, the suction generated by the drying module of the clothing processing equipment can also generate suction at the air outlet 5). At this time, the suction can disturb the water in the water storage area 6 and make the water in the water storage area 6 contact with the baffle structure. The water is broken up by the baffle structure to form water splashes, and the air can contact the water splashes and be filtered by the water splashes. Due to the formation of water splashes, the contact area between the air carrying lint and the water is increased, thereby improving the filtering effect. In addition, the size of the water splash can be determined according to the size of the suction. Increasing the suction can increase the size of the water splash, which also increases the contact area between the air and the water. On the contrary, it will decrease. Of course, it is understandable that the suction at the air outlet 5 will not increase indefinitely, and it also needs to be determined according to the clothing processing equipment on which it is installed.

[0042] In this embodiment, the water splash can be splashed to at least half of the height of the second chamber 8, and the trajectory of the water droplets constituting the water splash is approximately a parabola, so that the area of ​​the water splash is large enough, so that the air can fully contact the water splash for filtration.

[0043] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the barrier structure includes a barrier sheet 9 and a partition 10, wherein the barrier sheet 9 is connected to one end of the partition 10 and extends below the water surface of the water storage area 6. The other end of the partition 10 is connected to the cleaning chamber 3. The cleaning chamber 3, the barrier sheet 9 and the partition 10 can separate the entire chamber into a first chamber 7 and a second chamber 8. In addition, due to the setting of the barrier sheet 9, the water in the water storage area 6 can also contact the barrier sheet 9 to form a splash.

[0044] The baffle plate 9 may be Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the two baffles 9 are staggered so that a gap can be formed between the two baffles 9, and the gap is at least partially located in the underwater area of ​​the water storage area 6. When air filtering is performed, the water in the water storage area 6 located in the first chamber 7 will enter the second chamber 8 through the gap, and be broken up by the baffles 9 to form water splashes. At the same time, the air in the first chamber 7 can enter the second chamber 8 through the gap, and contact with the water splashes for filtration. It can be understood that when the air enters the second chamber 8 through the gap, it can contact with the water in the gap, that is, it will be initially filtered by the water in the gap, and then filtered with the formed water splashes, achieving a double filtering effect.

[0045] In this embodiment, further, the two baffles 9 may be arc-shaped or bent, so that the gap formed is S-shaped or Z-shaped. Through the gap of this shape, the flow path of the water flow in the gap can be longer, thereby extending the contact time between the air and the water flow in the gap, and improving the filtering effect. In addition, the gap of the S-shaped or Z-shaped structure also allows the end of the baffle 9 to better disperse the water flow to form water splashes.

[0046] In this embodiment, the water storage area 6 can be divided into a first water storage area and a second water storage area by a baffle structure, the first water storage area is located in the first chamber 7, the second water storage area is located in the second chamber 8, and the bottoms of the first water storage area and the second water storage area are connected. The water in the first water storage area can enter the second water storage area through the gap between the two baffles 9, and the water in the second water storage area can flow back to the first water storage area through the connection between the first water storage area and the second water storage area and / or the gap between the two baffles 9.

[0047] It should be pointed out that the water in the first water storage area can pass through the gap and be adsorbed into the second water storage area by the suction force at the air outlet 5, and in the process of adsorption, the water flow can be broken up by the baffle plate 9 to form water splashes. Since the air carrying lint will also enter the second chamber 8 through the gap, the air carrying lint will come into contact with the water flow in the gap and the subsequent water splashes and be filtered.

[0048] When the water in the first water storage area is absorbed into the second water storage area and forms water splashes, the water in the second water storage area can flow back to the first water storage area through the bottom connecting position between the first water storage area and the second water storage area or the gap between the two baffles 9.

[0049] Preferably, the volume of the first chamber 7 of this embodiment is smaller than the volume of the second chamber 8. On the one hand, the air pressure entering the first chamber 7 can be increased quickly, and then a certain driving force is provided to push the water in the first water storage area into the second water storage area. By setting the volume of the second chamber 8 to be larger, the water entering the second water storage area can be adsorbed to a certain height, and then fall back to the second water storage area and / or the first water storage area by its own gravity. This prevents the water splashes from being adsorbed too high and flowing out of the air outlet 5, causing an impact on the clothing processing equipment. In this embodiment, the volume of the first chamber 7 is smaller than that of the second chamber 8, which is mainly reflected in that the height of the first chamber 7 is smaller than that of the second chamber 8. At the same time, with the position of the air outlet 5 being higher than the air inlet 2, the air filtering can be better achieved.

[0050] Furthermore, a first spray hole (not shown in the figure) may be provided at the connection between the cleaning chamber 3 and the partition 10 of the present embodiment, and the first spray hole can flush the side wall of the partition 10 to prevent wire scraps from remaining on the partition 10 .

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the housing 1 is also provided with an overflow port 11, which is used to allow water to flow out when there is too much water in the chamber, so that a fixed amount of water is always maintained in the chamber to filter the air, thereby avoiding excessive water in the chamber that affects the generation of water splashes and the filtering effect.

[0052] Preferably, the overflow port 11 is arranged opposite to the gap. In order to prevent the water splashes formed after passing through the gap from flowing out of the overflow port 11, a shielding plate 12 is arranged inside the housing 1. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the shielding plate 12 is arranged in front of the overflow port 11, which can shield the water splashes outside the overflow port 11 and prevent the wire scraps from clogging the overflow port 11. In addition, the setting of the shielding plate 12 can also play a certain role in disturbing the flow, further disperse the water splashes, and improve the filtering effect on the air.

[0053] A drain port is also provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and the drain port is used to drain the water in the water storage area 6. Figure 3, a siphon component 13 can be connected to the drain outlet. When the water level in the chamber is at the normal filtration water level, its water level is lower than the water level in the siphon component 13. At this time, the siphon component 13 will not perform siphon drainage. When the water level in the chamber is higher than the water level in the siphon component 13, the siphon component 13 starts siphon drainage to drain all the water in the water storage area 6. It can be understood that the water level in the siphon component 13 is higher than the overflow port 11. When siphon drainage occurs, the water level in the water storage area 6 is higher than the water level in the siphon component 13. It can be understood that some water will also be discharged through the overflow port 11 at this time. In this embodiment, the siphon component 13 is an inverted U-shaped tube, and its structure and principle are consistent with the prior art and will not be repeated.

[0054] The above-mentioned lint filter of this embodiment is provided with a cleaning unit. When the first inner side wall of the lint filter is impacted by the air entering through the air inlet 2 for a long time and lint remains, the first inner side wall can be automatically cleaned by the cleaning unit, thereby avoiding lint residues from remaining on the inner wall of the lint filter, thereby improving the reuse effect and service life of the lint filter. In addition, after the lint filter of this embodiment is used and the water in the water storage area 6 is discharged, the inner wall of the lint filter can also be cleaned by the cleaning unit to avoid lint residues from remaining in the lint filter after the water in the lint filter is discharged.

[0055] This embodiment also provides a clothing processing device, which includes the above-mentioned lint filter, an outer drum (not shown in the figure) and a drying module (not shown in the figure), wherein the lint filter is installed on the outside of the outer drum, and the air inlet 2 of the lint filter is connected to the air outlet of the outer drum, and the air in the inner drum can enter the lint filter through the air outlet and the air inlet 2 of the outer drum. The air outlet 5 of the above-mentioned lint filter is connected to the condensation channel of the above-mentioned drying module (the drying module at least includes a compressor, a condenser, a throttling element and an evaporator, and its structure and principle are prior art and will not be repeated), so that the air filtered by the lint filter enters the condensation channel through the air outlet 5, and after being heated by the condenser of the drying module, enters the inner drum for drying the clothes.

[0056] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned drying module can generate a strong suction force, thereby generating suction at the air outlet 5 connected to the condensation channel. The suction force can make the water in the first chamber 7 enter the second chamber 8 through the partition structure to form water splashes, and also make the air carrying lint flowing out of the inner cylinder enter the second chamber 8 through the partition structure. In this process, the air carrying lint is filtered by the water splashes, the lint remains in the water, and the filtered air enters the condensation channel through the air outlet 5.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lint filter can be directly integrated with the outer cylinder, or can be sealed and connected to the air outlet of the outer cylinder by fasteners such as bolts. For example, a seal can be provided between the air inlet 2 and the air outlet, and then the end of the lint filter with the air inlet 2 can be fixed to the outer cylinder by fasteners. At the same time, a seal can be provided between the air outlet 5 and the condensation channel, and then the end of the lint filter with the air outlet 5 can be fixed to the drying module by fasteners.

[0058] In this embodiment, preferably, the condensed water generated by the condenser will flow into the condensation channel, a part of which will enter the water storage area 6 of the lint filter through the air outlet 5 to be used for filtering by the lint filter; the other part will flow into the cleaning chamber 3 through the water inlet 4 to rinse the inner wall of the lint filter. The specific flushing principle is referred to the description of the lint filter in this embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0059] Preferably, when too much condensed water flows into the water storage area 6 and the water level in the water storage area 6 reaches the overflow port 11, the water can flow out directly through the overflow port 11. After the drying is completed, since the condensed water will continue to flow into the water storage area 6 and the water level in the water storage area 6 will rise rapidly, when the water level in the water storage area 6 is higher than the water level in the siphon assembly 13, the siphon assembly 13 will produce a siphon effect to siphon the water in the water storage area 6 to drain the water in the water storage area 6. Of course, it is understandable that water can also be directly introduced into the chamber through the water inlet pipe of the clothing processing equipment so that the water level in the water storage area 6 is higher than the water level in the siphon assembly 13 to achieve siphon drainage of the lint filter.

[0060] The above-mentioned clothes processing device of this embodiment can filter the lint by setting the above-mentioned lint filter, thereby reducing the lint entering the condenser or the inner drum, and extending the service life of the clothes processing device. Moreover, the self-cleaning of the above-mentioned lint filter further improves the filtering effect when the lint filter is used next time, thereby further improving the use performance of the clothes processing device and improving the user experience.

[0061] Embodiment 2

[0062] This embodiment provides a lint filter, which is different from the first embodiment in that the cleaning chamber 3 of this embodiment is set at a different position. Specifically, the cleaning chamber 3 of this embodiment is opened inside the first inner side wall and / or other inner side walls, rather than inside the chamber, and the spray hole 31 of the cleaning chamber 3 is connected to the cleaning chamber 3 and the chamber, which can still achieve flushing of the first inner side wall and / or other inner side walls.

[0063] In addition, if Figure 4As shown, one end of the partition plate 10 of the partition structure of this embodiment is fixed to the inner wall of the shell 1 which is connected to both the first inner wall and the second inner wall. At this time, the partition structure divides the chamber into the first chamber 7 and the second chamber 8.
