[0044] Figure 15 This is a perspective view of the housing of a clothing handling apparatus according to some embodiments of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0045] like Figures 1-2 As shown, one aspect of this invention provides a garment processing apparatus 10, including: a garment processing component 12; a drying tunnel component 14, the drying tunnel component 14 being fluidly connected to the garment processing component 12; and a lint processing component 16, the lint processing component 16 including a lint collector 18, a lint remover 20 that can contact the lint collector 18, and a drive member 22 that drives the lint remover 20 to move relative to the lint collector 18 via linear reciprocating motion. This can help achieve a better lint removal effect.

[0046] The garment handling device 10 may include a washing machine, a washer-dryer, a dryer, etc. The garment handling assembly 12 can hold garments therein for washing, drying, and other processing. The drying tunnel assembly 14 can provide the garment handling assembly 12 with the heat required for drying.

[0047] The lint collector 18 can be used to collect lint from the clothing processing device 10. The lint collector 18 may include a filter screen of a mesh or grid shape.

[0048] The lint remover 20 removes lint from the lint collector 18 through contact with it. The lint remover 20 applies mechanical force to the lint through contact with the lint collector 18 to remove it. The lint remover 20 may include any suitable shape or structure. The lint remover 20 may include a brush-like shape or structure. The lint remover 20 may be generally brush-shaped.

[0049] The driving component 22 may include any suitable shape and structure. Please refer to... Figure 3 , 4 Optionally, the driving component 22 includes a housing 26 with an internal receiving space 24, a moving component 28 capable of linear reciprocating motion within the receiving space 24, and a connecting component 30 connecting the moving component 28 and the lint removal component 20. The moving component 28 can move within the receiving space 24 and drives the lint removal component 20 to move via the connecting component 30.

[0050] The housing 26 can be substantially cylindrical. The moving member 28 can be a disc having a diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the housing 26. The lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 can each comprise a disc having a substantially equal diameter.

[0051] The lint treating assembly 16 can drive the moving member 28 by a fluid pressure difference. Fluids mentioned herein can include water, aqueous solutions, and the like. The housing 26 can comprise any suitable shape configuration, and the like. Optionally, the housing 26 comprises a fluid inlet 32 and a fluid outlet 34 in fluid communication with the receiving space 24, the fluid inlet 32 having a size greater than the fluid outlet 34.

[0052] Fluids can enter and exit the receiving space 24 through the fluid inlet 32 and the fluid outlet 34, and can exert a force on the moving member 28 to move it by virtue of the size difference between the fluid inlet 32 and the fluid outlet 34. The size of the fluid inlet 32 and the fluid outlet 34 mentioned herein can be the volume of fluids that can pass through them, respectively. The size difference between the fluid inlet 32 and the fluid outlet 34 can be manifested as a difference in the amount of fluids entering and exiting the receiving space through them, which can facilitate the generation of a pressure difference between the side of the receiving space 24 where fluids contact the moving member 28 and the opposite side where fluids do not contact the moving member 28, thereby driving the moving member 28 to move in the direction of the opposite side.

[0053] The lint treating assembly 16 can use fluids to flush the lint collecting member 18, further enhancing the effect of lint removal. When both the moving member 28 is driven by a fluid pressure difference and the lint collecting member 18 is flushed by fluids, the fluids driving the moving member 28 and the fluids flushing the lint collecting member 18 can be the same or different.

[0054] The lint treating assembly 16 can comprise any suitable shape configuration for delivering fluids, and the like. Please refer to Figure 2 Optionally, the lint treating assembly 16 comprises a fluid input tube 36 in fluid communication with the fluid inlet 32, a fluid output tube 38 in fluid communication with the fluid outlet 34, and a flushing fluid tube 40 in fluid communication with the lint collecting member 18.

[0055] The fluid input tube 36 can input fluids to the receiving space 24 through the fluid inlet 32. The fluid output tube 38 can receive fluids output from the receiving space 24 through the fluid outlet 34. The flushing fluid tube 40 can deliver fluids for flushing the lint collecting member 18.

[0056] The fluid input pipe 36 and the rinse fluid pipe 40 can be in fluid communication with a water valve 41. The water valve 41 can help control the on / off, amount, etc. of fluid delivered by the fluid input pipe 36 and the rinse fluid pipe 40. The fluid output pipe 38 can input fluid expelled from the receiving space 24 into the laundry treating assembly 12, outside the laundry treating apparatus 10, etc.

[0057] The drive member 22 can comprise any suitable shape, configuration, etc. Alternatively, the drive member 22 comprises a first elastic member 42 connecting the housing 26 and the lint removing member 20. The first elastic member 42 can drive the lint removing member 20 to move relative to the housing 26 when the moving member 28 does not drive the lint removing member 20 to move. For example, when the force of the moving member 28 driving the lint removing member 20 to move away from the housing 26 is less than the force of the first elastic member 42 driving the lint removing member 20 to move towards the housing 26, the first elastic member 42 drives the lint removing member 20 to move towards the housing 26.

[0058] The connecting member 30 can be arranged with the moving member 28 and the lint removing member 20 in any suitable shape, configuration, etc. Alternatively, the connecting member 30 is perpendicular to the moving member 28 and the lint removing member 20. In this way, the moving direction of the moving member 28 and the lint removing member 20 can be consistent. The moving member 28 and the lint removing member 20 can extend parallel to each other, which can help control the size in one direction.

[0059] The moving direction of the moving member 28 and the lint removing member 20 can be consistent or inconsistent. Alternatively, the moving direction of the moving member 28 and the lint removing member 20 is consistent. In this way, the size can be controlled in one direction, and the space of the laundry treating apparatus 10 can be effectively utilized.

[0060] The lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 can move in any suitable manner relative to each other. The lint collecting member 18 can comprise a mesh-shaped filter. Alternatively, the lint removing member 20 moves towards and away from the lint collecting member 18. For example, when lint on the lint collecting member 18 needs to be removed, the lint removing member 20 can move towards the lint collecting member 18, and when lint on the lint collecting member 18 does not need to be removed, the lint removing member 20 can move away from the lint collecting member 18. When the lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 move relative to each other, the contact area between the lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 can increase from zero directly to the maximum contact area between the lint collecting member 18 and the lint removing member 20, or can decrease from the maximum contact area between the lint collecting member 18 and the lint removing member 20 directly to zero.

[0061] Alternatively, the lint removing member 20 moves linearly relative to the lint collecting member 18. In this way, the space utilization of the clothes treating apparatus 10 can be facilitated.

[0062] Alternatively, the distance between the lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 changes when the lint removing member 20 moves relative to the lint collecting member 18. In this way, the distance between the lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 can be adjusted as needed.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 5 , 6 Alternatively, the lint removing member 20 extends parallel to the lint collecting member 18, and the distance between the lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of parallel extension does not change when the lint removing member 20 moves relative to the lint collecting member 18. In this way, the size of the clothes treating apparatus 10 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of parallel extension of the lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 can be facilitated. When the lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 move relative to each other, the contact area between the lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 can increase from zero gradually to the maximum contact area between the lint collecting member 18 and the lint removing member 20, or can decrease from the maximum contact area between the lint collecting member 18 and the lint removing member 20 gradually to zero. The lint collecting member 18 can comprise a mesh-shaped filter.

[0064] Alternatively, the driving member 22 comprises a connecting plate 44 spaced apart from the cabinet 26, and a second elastic member 46 connecting the cabinet 26 and the connecting plate 44. The second elastic member 46 can elastically adjust the distance between the connecting plate 44 and the cabinet 26.

[0065] Optionally, the connecting member 30 comprises a connecting portion 48 connecting the moving member 28 and the connecting plate 44, and a transition portion 50 between the connecting portion 48 and the lint removing member 20. The transition portion 50 can facilitate adjustment of the relative arrangement of the moving member 28 and the lint removing member 20.

[0066] Optionally, the transition portion 50 extends in a direction different from the connecting portion 48. In this way, the transition portion 50 can facilitate adjustment of the extension direction of the moving member 28 relative to the lint removing member 20. For example, the connecting portion 48 can be a column extending downward from the moving member 28, the transition portion 50 can be a column extending in a direction perpendicular to the connecting portion 48 and parallel to the moving member 28, and the lint removing member 20 can be located at the side of the moving member 28 instead of the lower part.

[0067] When driven, the moving member 28 can drive the connecting portion 48, the connecting plate 44, the second elastic member 46, the transition portion 50 and the lint removing member 20 to move relative to the box 26, for example, in a direction away from the box 26. At the same time, the lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 move relative to each other, and the contact area between them can gradually increase from zero to maximum.

[0068] When the driving force on the moving member 28 is less than the elastic force of the second elastic member 46, the second elastic member 46 drives the connecting plate 44, the connecting portion 48, the moving member 28, the transition portion 50 and the lint removing member 20 to move relative to the box 26, for example, in a direction approaching the box 26. At the same time, the lint removing member 20 and the lint collecting member 18 move relative to each other, and the contact area between them can gradually decrease from maximum to zero.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 7 , 8 Optionally, the lint removing member 20 rotates relative to the lint collecting member 18. The lint collected by the lint collecting member 18 can be removed by means of the rotational movement of the lint removing member 20 relative to the lint collecting member 18. When the lint removing member 20 rotates relative to the lint collecting member 18, the contact area between the lint collecting member 18 and the lint removing member 20 can remain unchanged, for example, can remain as the maximum contact area.

[0070] Optionally, the transition portion 50 comprises a rack 52 and a gear 54 that cooperate with each other.

Optionally, the rack 52 is connected with the connecting portion 48, and the pinion 54 is connected with the lint removing member 20. The interworking of the rack 52 and the pinion 54 can facilitate the conversion of the linear reciprocating motion of the moving member 28 into the rotational motion of the lint removing member 20. The linear reciprocating motion of the moving member 28 can be transmitted to the rack 52 through the connecting portion 48, the rack 52 can drive the pinion 54 to rotate, and the pinion 54 can transmit the rotational motion to the lint removing member 20.
