Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of household appliance technology, specifically relating to a drum-type garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Drum dryers, drum washer-dryers, and other drum-type garment processing equipment all have drying functions. They can be used to remove moisture from damp clothes, solving the problem of drying clothes and making people's daily lives more convenient. The rotating drum inside can drive the clothes to rotate, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0003] In existing technology, a drum-type garment processing device with drying function includes a machine body, a drum, a sealing door, and a condenser drying system. The machine body contains an outer drum for drying clothes, and the drum is installed inside the outer drum, forming a garment processing chamber. An interlayer hole between the drum and the outer drum forms an outer cavity. The front side of the machine body has a garment loading / unloading port that communicates with the inner cavity of the outer drum and faces the opening of the drum. The sealing door, which can be opened and closed, is installed at the garment loading / unloading port to seal the inner cavity of the outer drum. The air inlet of the condenser drying system communicates with the garment processing chamber, and the air intake is communicated with the inner cavity of the outer drum. The condenser drying system is used to dry the clothes in the garment processing chamber. During use, the condenser drying system draws in humid air from the outer drum through the air intake. The humid air is condensed by a continuously supplied supply of condensing water. The condensed air is then heated and sent into the garment processing chamber through the air inlet. The hot air comes into contact with the rotating clothes, evaporating the moisture on the clothes, thereby achieving drying.

[0004] Existing drum-type garment processing equipment with drying function has low garment drying efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The water injection port and the first water inlet are directly opposite each other and spaced apart. The bottom surface of the condenser container is also provided with a drain port, which is spaced apart from the inner wall corresponding to the garment loading and unloading port.

[0012] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned drum-type garment processing equipment, the condensation container is provided with a first valve, a second valve and a thermal control component. The upper end of the thermal control component is connected to the first valve, and the lower end of the thermal control component is connected to the second valve. The first valve is used to open and close the water inlet, and the second valve is used to open and close the drain outlet.

[0013] The thermal control component is configured such that its upper and lower ends move vertically closer to each other as the temperature at the thermal control component increases, thereby controlling the first valve and the second valve to open the water inlet and the drain outlet, and its two ends move vertically further apart as the temperature at the thermal control component decreases, thereby controlling the first valve and the second valve to close the water inlet and the drain outlet.

[0014] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned drum-type garment processing equipment, the thermal control component includes a first thermal deformation sheet, a thermal telescopic rod, and a second thermal deformation sheet that are fastened together from top to bottom.

[0015] The middle part of the thermal telescopic rod is firmly connected to the inner wall of the condenser container, the upper end of the first thermal deformation plate is connected to the first valve, and the lower end of the second thermal deformation plate is connected to the second valve.

[0016] The thermal telescopic rod is constructed to elongate as the temperature at its location increases and shorten as the temperature decreases.

[0017] The first thermosensitive deformation sheet is configured such that its upper end moves downward as the temperature at the first thermosensitive deformation sheet increases and moves upward as the temperature decreases, and the rate of change of vertical distance of the upper end of the first thermosensitive deformation sheet is greater than the rate of change of vertical distance of the upper end of the thermosensitive telescopic rod.

[0018] The second thermal deformation plate is configured such that its lower end moves upward as the temperature at the second thermal deformation plate increases and moves downward as the temperature decreases, and the rate of change of vertical distance of the lower end of the second thermal deformation plate is greater than the rate of change of vertical distance of the lower end of the thermal telescopic rod.

[0019] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned drum-type garment processing equipment, the thermal telescopic rod includes a first thermal telescopic section, a connecting seat, and a second thermal telescopic section that are sequentially and tightly connected from top to bottom.

[0020] The connecting seat is securely connected to the inner wall of the condenser container, the upper end of the first thermosensitive expansion section is securely connected to the lower end of the first thermosensitive deformation sheet, and the lower end of the second thermosensitive expansion section is securely connected to the upper end of the second thermosensitive deformation sheet.

[0021] Both the first and second thermal expansion sections are constructed to elongate as the temperature at their location increases and shorten as the temperature decreases. The rate of change of vertical distance at the upper end of the first thermal expansion section is greater than that at the upper end of the first thermal expansion section, and the rate of change of vertical distance at the lower end of the second thermal expansion section is greater than that at the lower end of the second thermal expansion section.

[0022] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned drum-type garment processing equipment, the first valve includes a sliding rod, a guide sleeve, a cone plug, and a first connecting rod. The guide sleeve is fastened to the inner wall of the condensation container. The sliding rod and the guide sleeve are slidably connected in the up-down direction. The sliding rod is located above the thermal control component. The cone plug is fastened to the upper end of the sliding rod and is located directly below the water inlet. The upper end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the lower end of the sliding rod, and the lower end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the upper end of the thermal control component. The upper end of the up-down moving thermal control component drives the cone plug to move between blocking the water inlet and moving away from the water inlet through the first connecting rod and the sliding rod.

[0023] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned drum-type garment processing equipment, the second valve includes a sealing plate and a second connecting rod. The sealing plate is used to block the drain outlet. The sealing plate includes a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The first side is hinged to the side corresponding to the drain outlet, and the second side is hinged to the lower end of the second connecting rod. The upper end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the lower end of the thermal control component. The lower end of the thermal control component, which moves up and down, drives the second side to rotate between the side corresponding to the drain outlet and the side corresponding to the drain outlet. The drain outlet is located at the lowest point of the inner cavity of the condensation container.

[0024] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned drum-type garment processing equipment, a flow guide hood is also provided inside the condensation container. The flow guide hood is located at the lower end of the first valve, and the heat-sensitive control component is within the downward projection of the flow guide hood. The flow guide hood is used to guide the condensed water flowing in from above to the outside of the heat-sensitive control component.

[0025] Those skilled in the art will understand that the drum-type garment processing device of the present invention forms a condensing container at the rear of its sealed door, and a partition cover is securely connected to the rear side of the condensing container, so that the space between the partition cover and the condensing container forms a condensing air duct. The condensing air duct connects the air outlet of the condensing drying system and the garment processing chamber of the drum. With the above arrangement, at least part of the hot air delivered from the air outlet enters the condensing air duct, and the condensing container formed at the rear of the sealed door further condenses the hot air entering the condensing air duct, which can further reduce the moisture content of the hot air delivered by the condensing drying system, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the garments in the garment processing chamber and saving time and energy. Furthermore, the two-stage condensation of the condensing drying system and the condensing container extends the condensation path, making the air delivered into the garment processing chamber drier. The condensate precipitated on the surface of the condensing container is blocked by the partition cover in the condensing air duct, and the garments rotating with the drum will not come into contact with the condensate precipitated on the surface of the condensing container, thus avoiding any impact on the drying of the garments. Meanwhile, the air in the confined space of the condensing duct comes into more thorough contact with the condensing container, resulting in better condensation of the hot air within the duct. Furthermore, by forming a condensing container at the rear of the sealing door, the amount of condensing water used in the condensing drying system can be reduced, or even stopped altogether, further conserving water. Additionally, the condensing water in the condensing container absorbs heat; water has a high specific heat capacity, so its temperature rises slowly, preventing a rapid increase in the temperature of the sealing door. Moreover, the replacement of hot water in the condensing container carries away heat, preventing the sealing door from overheating and potentially harming the environment or operators.

[0034] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0035] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "inner" and "outer" indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is merely for ease of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] As described in the background section, existing drum-type garment processing equipment with drying functions uses a condenser drying system. This system continuously supplies condensing water to the condenser, allowing the supplied condensing water to directly contact the hot, humid air drawn into the condenser through the air intake, thus condensing and cooling the air. The hot, humid air first comes into direct contact with the condensing water, and after condensation and cooling, it is heated by the heating module before being sent into the garment processing chamber through the air outlet. The air delivered through this process has a high moisture content, resulting in low drying efficiency, long drying time, and high energy consumption. Furthermore, the sealing doors of existing drum-type garment processing equipment are often made of glass or metal. The temperature of the sealing door rises rapidly with the temperature inside the outer drum. Excessively hot sealing doors can cause burns to users and significantly increase the ambient temperature, especially in hot summer months.

[0038] To address the aforementioned issues, the inventors of this invention have created a condensing container at the rear of the sealed door of the drum-type garment processing equipment. An isolation cover is then securely connected to the rear side of the condensing container, forming a condensing air duct in the space between the isolation cover and the condensing container. This condensing air duct connects the air outlet of the condensing drying system to the garment processing chamber of the drum. In this way, at least a portion of the hot air from the air outlet enters the condensing air duct, where it is further condensed by the condensing container formed at the rear of the sealed door. This further reduces the moisture content of the hot air from the condensing drying system, improving the drying efficiency of the garments in the processing chamber and saving time and energy. Furthermore, the two-stage condensation process—between the condensing drying system and the condensing container—extends the condensation path, resulting in drier air entering the garment processing chamber. The condensate condensing on the surface of the condensing container is blocked by the isolation cover within the condensing air duct, preventing the garments rotating with the drum from contacting the condensate condensate and thus avoiding any impact on the drying process. Meanwhile, the air in the confined space of the condensing duct comes into more thorough contact with the condensing container, resulting in better condensation of the hot air within the duct. Furthermore, by forming a condensing container at the rear of the sealed door, the amount of condensing water used in the condensing drying system can be reduced, and the condenser can even be eliminated or the supply of condensing water to the condenser can be stopped, further saving water. Additionally, the condensing water in the condensing container absorbs heat; water has a high specific heat capacity, so the temperature rises slowly, preventing a rapid increase in the temperature of the sealed door. Moreover, the replacement of hot water in the condensing container carries away heat, preventing the sealed door from overheating and causing environmental impact or injury to operators.

[0039] The preferred technical solution of the drum-type garment processing device of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the proposed drum-type garment processing device with both the first water inlet and the drain outlet open. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the proposed drum-type garment processing device with the first water inlet open and the drain outlet closed. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the proposed drum-type garment processing device when both the first water inlet and the drain outlet are closed.

[0041] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the embodiment of the drum-type garment processing device of the present invention, the drum-type garment processing device is equipped with a condenser drying system 630 for drying the garments in the garment processing chamber 410 of its drum 400, and a sealing door 110 is provided at the garment loading and unloading port 100 on the front side of the drum-type garment processing device.

[0042] The rear of the sealing door 110 forms a condenser container 200. An isolation cover 300 is fastened to the rear side of the condenser container 200. The isolation cover 300 is used to prevent the clothes in the clothes handling chamber 410 from contacting the condenser container 200. The space between the isolation cover 300 and the condenser container 200 forms a condenser air duct 320. The condenser air duct 320 connects the air outlet 631 of the condenser drying system 630 and the clothes handling chamber 410.

[0043] During drying, the sealing door 110 is closed, the drum 400 rotates, and the condenser drying system 630 operates. The air intake 632 of the condenser drying system 630 draws in humid air from the outer drum 500. After passing through condensation and heating, the heated air is sent out through the air outlet 631. At least part of the hot air sent out through the air outlet 631 enters the condenser duct 320, contacts the surface of the condenser container 200, condenses, and precipitates moisture. Then, it enters the clothing processing chamber 410 and contacts the clothes in the clothing processing chamber 410, taking away the moisture from the clothes. The air that has taken away the moisture from the clothes is then drawn back into the condenser drying system 630 through the air intake 632, and so on.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the condenser container 200 formed at the rear of the sealing door 110 further condenses the hot air entering the condenser duct 320, thereby reducing the moisture content of the hot air delivered by the condenser drying system 630. This improves the drying efficiency of the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 410, saving time and energy. Furthermore, the two-stage condensation by the condenser drying system 630 and the condenser container 200 extends the condensation path, making the air delivered into the clothes processing chamber 410 drier. The condensate condensed on the surface of the condenser container 200 is blocked by the isolation cover 300 within the condenser duct 320, preventing the clothes rotating with the drum 400 from contacting the condensate condensate on the surface of the condenser container 200 and avoiding any impact on the drying process. Simultaneously, the air in the confined space of the condenser duct 320 comes into more thorough contact with the condenser container 200, resulting in better condensation of the hot air within the condenser duct 320.

[0045] Furthermore, by forming a condenser container 200 at the rear of the sealing door 110, the amount of condensing water used in the condenser drying system 630 can be reduced, and the condenser of the condenser drying system 630 can even be removed or the supply of condensing water for condensation can be stopped, resulting in greater water conservation. Because the condenser in the existing condenser drying system 630 has an uneven structure inside to increase the contact between the intake air and the condensing water, lint from clothing easily accumulates at this structure. The condenser is generally located at the rear of the outer cylinder 500, making it difficult to clean the accumulated lint. Adding a condenser container 200 and removing the condenser or the uneven structure in the condenser can reduce the accumulation of lint in the condenser drying system 630. After the lint is sent out with the air outlet 631, it is carried away by the condensate on the surface of the condenser container 200 and can be discharged through the outer cavity between the roller 400 and the outer cylinder. Even if the lint accumulates at the sealing door 100, it is very convenient to clean because it is close to the clothes loading and unloading port 100.

[0046] In addition, after the condensing water in the condensing container 200 absorbs heat, the water has a large specific heat capacity and the temperature rises slowly, which can prevent the sealing door 110 from heating up rapidly. Furthermore, after the hot water in the condensing container 200 is replaced, it will carry away the heat, which can prevent the sealing door 110 from overheating and causing environmental impact or injury to the operators.

[0047] Understandably, the direction facing the user who takes clothes through the clothing loading / unloading port 100 is considered forward. The drum-type clothing handling equipment includes an outer drum 500, and the clothing loading / unloading port 100 communicates with the inner cavity of the outer drum 500. A sealing door 110 seals the inner cavity of the outer drum 500. A drum 400 is installed inside the outer drum 500, and multiple water passage holes are provided on the side wall of the drum 400. The clothing loading / unloading port 100 is opposite to the opening of the drum 400, and the drum 400 is used to place and handle clothing. The inner cavity that drives the clothes to rotate is the clothes processing cavity 410. The interlayer space between the outer wall of the roller 400 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 500 is the outer cavity 510. The clothes loading and unloading port 100 is connected to the clothes processing cavity 410 through the opening of the roller 400. The water inlet of the drainage system 610 of the roller-type clothes processing equipment is located at the bottom of the outer cavity 510. The air suction port 632 is located on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 500. The air supply port 631 can be located at the edge of the clothes loading and unloading port 100 and face the opening of the roller 400.

[0048] The condenser drying system 630 includes a hot air duct and a fan heating module disposed within the hot air duct. The fan heating module includes a fan and a heater. The condenser drying system 630 may or may not include a condenser. In the condenser drying system 630 including a condenser, the air inlet of the condenser serves as the air intake 632 of the condenser drying system 630 and is connected to the inner cavity of the outer cylinder 500. The air outlet of the condenser is connected to the air intake of the hot air duct. The air outlet of the hot air duct serves as the air outlet 631 of the condenser drying system 630 and is connected to the clothing processing chamber 410. The water inlet of the condenser is connected to the water supply system 640 via a water inlet pipe 633, and the water outlet of the condenser is connected to the drainage system 610 via the outer cavity 510. In the condenser drying system 630 without a condenser, the air intake of the hot air duct serves as the air intake 632 and is connected to the inner cavity of the outer cylinder 500.

[0049] The drainage system 610 includes a drain pipe 611, the inlet end of which is located at the bottom of the outer cavity 510. To achieve top drainage, the drainage system 610 may also include a drain pump 612 installed on the drain pipe 611.

[0050] In some possible implementations, the sealing door 110 includes a door ring 111, a front cover, and a rear shell 112. The door ring 111 is closable and installed at the clothing loading / unloading opening 100. The front cover is fastened to the front side of the door ring 111. The rear shell 112 is a vertically arranged basin-shaped structure with the basin opening facing forward. The rear shell 112 extends into the clothing loading / unloading opening 100. The basin opening of the rear shell 112 is fastened to the rear side of the door ring 111. The door ring 111, the front cover, and the rear shell 112 are spliced ​​together to form a condensation container 200. The isolation cover 300 is fastened to the rear side of the rear shell 112. The interlayer space between the isolation cover 300 and the rear shell 112 forms a condensation air duct 320.

[0051] This design makes full use of the existing structure of the sealing door 110 to directly form the condenser container 200, without the need for other structures, making it easy to manufacture and inexpensive to modify.

[0052] In some examples, the rear shell 112 has a basin-shaped structure with a wide opening and a narrow bottom, and the peripheral wall of the rear shell 112 slopes towards the middle from the opening to the bottom. This facilitates the downward flow of condensate from the bottom and top surfaces of the rear shell 112, and then flows out of the drum 400 through the outer wall of the rear shell 112.

[0053] In some examples, the front cover is a heat shield. This minimizes the temperature outside the sealed door 110.

[0054] In some examples, the rear housing 112 is made of a metallic material. This results in good thermal conductivity for the rear housing 112, which improves the condensation effect on the air within the condenser duct 320 and facilitates the opening of inlet and outlet ports as well as connections to other components such as connecting brackets or isolation covers 300.

[0055] In some examples, the rear shell 112 is made of stainless steel. This provides good corrosion resistance and a long service life.

[0056] Of course, in some other examples, the back cover 112 may also be made of transparent glass.

[0057] In some examples, one side of the door ring 111 is hinged to the position corresponding to the clothing access opening 100. This facilitates the opening and closing of the sealing door 110.

[0058] In some possible implementations, the isolation cover 300 and the condenser container 200 are fastened together by a connecting bracket, the condenser duct 320 is connected to the air outlet 631 through the gap between the edge of the isolation cover 300 and the condenser container 200, the lower edge of the isolation cover 300 is outside the roller 400, and the condenser duct 320 is connected to the drainage system 610 of the roller-type garment processing equipment through the gap between the lower edge of the isolation cover 300 and the bottom surface of the condenser container 200.

[0059] This configuration creates an open structure between the edge of the isolation cover 300 and the condenser container 200, facilitating the entry of hot air from the air outlet 631 into the condenser duct 320 and the discharge of condensate from the condenser duct 320. It eliminates the need for separate air inlet and water outlet openings on the isolation cover 300, simplifying manufacturing and installation. With the lower edge of the isolation cover 300 outside the drum 400, the condenser duct 320 connects to the drainage system 610 of the drum-type garment processing equipment through the gap between the lower edge of the isolation cover 300 and the bottom surface of the condenser container 200, preventing condensate from entering the drum 400 and affecting garment drying. Alternatively, the condenser duct 320 can also connect to the garment processing chamber 410 through the gap between the edge of the isolation cover 300 and the condenser container 200.

[0060] Understandably, the gap between the lower edge of the isolation cover 300 and the bottom surface of the condensation container 200 can be connected to the drainage system 610 through the outer cavity between the roller 400 and the outer cylinder 500.

[0061] Of course, in other embodiments, the isolation cover 300 can also be fastened to the outer wall of the condensation container 200 through its edge, and the edge of the isolation cover 300 and the condensation container 200 form a closed structure. An air inlet is opened on the isolation cover 300 at the position corresponding to the air outlet 631, a water outlet is opened at the bottom, and an air outlet 310 is opened on the isolation cover 300, which connects the condensation air duct 320 and the clothing processing chamber 410.

[0062] In some possible implementations, the isolation cover 300 is detachably connected to the condenser container 200. This facilitates cleaning of the isolation cover 300 and allows it to be easily removed when not drying in tumble dryers or other drum-type garment handling equipment.

[0063] Since the isolation cover 300 only bears downward forces (gravity, friction from clothing, and hot air), in some examples, the isolation cover 300 and the condensation container 200 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​structure, a hook structure, etc., which makes disassembly and assembly convenient.

[0064] Of course, in some other examples, the isolation cover 300 and the condensation container 200 can also be connected by non-removable means such as welding.

[0065] In some possible implementations, the rear side of the isolation cover 300 is provided with one or more air outlets 310 that connect the condenser duct 320 and the clothing processing chamber 410.

[0066] This design facilitates the flow of air from the condenser duct 320 into the garment processing chamber 410. Simultaneously, the air in the condenser duct 320 does not need to flow to the edge before exiting, reducing air resistance. Furthermore, the air condensed in the condenser duct 320 efficiently removes moisture from the garment processing chamber 410.

[0067] It is understandable that, regardless of whether the edge of the isolation cover 300 forms a closed structure or an open structure with the condenser container 200, an air outlet 310 can be provided on the rear side of the isolation cover 300, and the air outlet 310 can be used to connect the condenser duct 320 and the clothing processing chamber 410.

[0068] In an embodiment where the edge of the isolation cover 300 forms an open structure with the condenser container 200, the air outlet 631 is located above the isolation cover 300 and supplies air downwards and backwards. The upper edge of the isolation cover 300 is located in the air supply direction of the air outlet 631. The projection of the upper edge of the isolation cover 300 in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the air outlet 631 is located at the air outlet 631 divides the air outlet 631 into two parts.

[0069] With this configuration, a portion of the air delivered from the air outlet 631 enters the condenser duct 320 for condensation before entering the garment processing chamber 410. This makes the air entering the garment processing chamber 410 drier, which is conducive to removing moisture. Another portion of the hot air delivered from the air outlet 631 directly enters the garment processing chamber 410, which can ensure the drying temperature in the garment processing chamber 410 and facilitate the evaporation of moisture on the clothes. After the air delivered from the air outlet 631 is divided into air that directly enters the garment processing chamber 410 and air that enters the garment processing chamber 410 through the condenser duct 320, the two portions of air are mixed in the garment processing chamber 410, which can take into account the requirements for temperature and humidity of the drying air.

[0070] For example, the air outlet 631 can be located at the upper edge of the clothing loading / unloading opening 100, and the air intake 632 can be located at the upper part of the rear inner wall of the outer cylinder 500. In this way, the air delivered from the air outlet 631 has a high utilization rate, which is conducive to the circulation of air inside the outer cylinder 500.

[0071] Of course, if the air condensed by the condenser container 200 can still meet the temperature requirements for drying, the hot air delivered by the air outlet 631 can also enter the garment processing chamber 410 after passing through the condenser duct 320.

[0072] In an embodiment where the hot air delivered from the air outlet 631 enters the condenser duct 320 from above the isolation cover 300, the lower part of the rear side of the isolation cover 300 is provided with one or more air outlets 310 that connect the condenser duct 320 and the clothing processing chamber 410.

[0073] This design results in a long condensation path, allowing the air within the condensation channel to condense fully.

[0074] In some possible implementations, the isolation cover 300 is a vertically arranged basin-shaped structure with a large opening and a small bottom. The opening of the isolation cover 300 faces forward, and the rear side of the isolation cover 300 is located inside the clothing processing cavity 410.

[0075] This design allows clothes that have rotated onto the surface of the isolation cover 300 to automatically slide back into the clothes processing chamber 410, preventing clothes from entering between the inner walls of the roller 400 and the outer cylinder 500 and causing damage to the clothes or jamming of the roller 400. It also allows the lower edge of the isolation cover 300 to extend outside the roller 400.

[0076] In some possible implementations, the top surface of the condenser container 200 is provided with a first water inlet 210, and the clothes loading and unloading port 100 is provided with a water inlet 621 that is connected to the water supply system 640 of the drum-type clothes handling equipment. The water inlet 621 and the first water inlet 210 are directly opposite each other and spaced apart. The bottom surface of the condenser container 200 is also provided with a drain outlet 220, which is spaced apart vertically from the inner wall of the corresponding drain outlet 100.

[0077] With this configuration, after the sealing door 110 is closed, water is injected into the first water inlet 210 through the corresponding water inlet 621. There is no need to connect the first water inlet 210 and the water inlet 621, which facilitates the opening and closing of the sealing door 110.

[0078] It is understandable that the drain outlet 220 can be connected to the outer cavity 510 through the gap between it and the clothing loading / unloading port 100, and can be connected to the drainage system 610 through the outer cavity 510.

[0079] In the embodiment where the sealing door 110 includes a rear shell 112, the first water inlet 210 and the drain outlet 220 are both located on the peripheral wall of the rear shell 112.

[0080] In some examples, there is a gap between the water inlet 621 and the first water inlet 210 that communicates with the outer cavity 510, and the opening size of the first water inlet 210 is larger than the opening size of the water inlet 621.

[0081] This design makes water filling convenient and efficient, and reduces water splashing.

[0082] In some examples, the drum-type garment processing equipment is also equipped with a water supply pipe 620. A sealing ring 120 is provided at the garment loading and unloading port 100 to connect the outer wall of the drum-type garment processing equipment and the inner wall of the outer drum 500. The output end of the water supply pipe 620 passes through and is fixed to the top surface of the sealing ring 120 and is connected to the garment loading and unloading port 100. The water outlet of the water supply pipe 620 is the water inlet 621.

[0083] This design facilitates the sealing of the clothing loading / unloading port 100 and prevents water from entering the space between the outer drum 500 and the outer wall of the drum-type clothing processing equipment.

[0084] In some examples, the air outlet 631 passes through the sealing ring 120 and faces the opening of the roller 400.

[0085] In some possible implementations, the condenser container 200 is provided with a first valve 710, a second valve 720 and a thermal control component 800. The upper end of the thermal control component 800 is connected to the first valve 710 and the lower end of the thermal control component 800 is connected to the second valve 720. The first valve 710 is used to open and close the water inlet 621 and the second valve 720 is used to open and close the drain outlet 220.

[0086] The thermal control component 800 is configured such that its upper and lower ends move vertically closer to each other as the temperature at the thermal control component 800 increases, thereby controlling the first valve 710 and the second valve 720 to open the water inlet 621 and the drain outlet 220. Conversely, the two ends of the thermal control component 800 move vertically further apart as the temperature at the thermal control component 800 decreases, thereby controlling the first valve 710 and the second valve 720 to close the water inlet 621 and the drain outlet 220.

[0087] With this setup, the vertical position of the upper and lower ends of the thermal control component 800 can be changed according to the temperature change at the thermal control component 800 inside the condenser container 200, automatically controlling the opening and closing of the water inlet 621 and the drain outlet 220, and automatically replacing the condensing water inside the condenser container 200, so that the water temperature inside the condenser container 200 can fluctuate within a certain range.

[0088] For example, at room temperature, before drying begins, the thermal control component 800 opens both the water inlet 621 and the drain outlet 220. During drying, cold water is injected into the condenser container 200 through the open water inlet 621. The cold water temperature is lower than room temperature, and the flow rate of the injected cold water is greater than the flow rate of the cold water flowing out of the drain outlet 220. The liquid level in the condenser container 200 gradually rises. When the liquid level reaches the thermal control component 800, the thermal control component 800 is cooled, causing the drain outlet 220 and the water inlet 621 to close, stopping the water injection. When the water in the condenser container 200 absorbs heat and its temperature rises to near room temperature, the thermal control component 800 controls the water inlet 621 and the drain outlet 220 to reopen, restarting the injection of cold water to replace the hot water in the condenser container 200, thus lowering the water temperature. Once the water temperature drops to a certain value, the drain outlet 221 and the water inlet 621 are closed again, and this cycle continues.

[0089] In some examples, the thermal control assembly 800 includes a first thermal deformation sheet 810 and a second thermal deformation sheet 820. The first thermal deformation sheet is disposed above the second thermal deformation sheet 820. The upper end of the first thermal deformation sheet 810 is connected to the first valve 710, and the lower end is connected to the inner wall of the condensation container 200. The upper end of the second thermal deformation sheet 820 is connected to the inner wall of the condensation container 200, and the lower end is connected to the second valve 720.

[0090] The first thermistor 810 is configured such that its upper end moves downward as the temperature at the first thermistor 810 increases and moves upward as the temperature decreases.

[0091] The second thermistor 820 is configured such that its lower end moves upward as the temperature at the second thermistor 820 increases and moves downward as the temperature decreases.

[0092] With this configuration, after cold water enters the condenser container 200, the second thermistor 820 at the bottom first controls the second valve 720 to close the drain outlet 220, facilitating water storage in the condenser container 200. Once the cold water level in the condenser container 200 reaches the position of the first thermistor 810, the first valve 710 is controlled to close the water inlet 621. During the drying process, when the water temperature in the condenser container 200 changes, both the water inlet 621 and the drain outlet 220 can be opened or closed simultaneously.

[0093] Of course, the opening and closing of the water inlet 621 and the drain outlet 220 during the drying process can be synchronized or asynchronous, and the deformation rates of the first and second thermal deformation plates 810 and 820 can be set as needed. Due to the convection of water in the condenser container 200, the water temperature at the top will be slightly higher than that at the bottom. If it is necessary for the first and second thermal deformation plates 810 and 820 to open and close the water inlet 621 and the drain outlet 220 synchronously during the drying process, the deformation rate of the second thermal deformation plate 820 can be made greater than that of the first thermal deformation plate 810.

[0094] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the first thermal deformation sheet of an embodiment of the proposed drum-type garment processing device.

[0095] like Figure 4 As shown, and see Figures 1-3 In some examples, the first thermosensitive deformation sheet 810 is an arc-shaped sheet. The curvature of the first thermosensitive deformation sheet 810 increases with increasing temperature and decreases with decreasing temperature. Thus, the position of the end of the first thermosensitive deformation sheet 810 connected to the first valve 710 changes significantly with temperature.

[0096] In some examples, the first thermosensitive deformation sheet 810 includes a first thermosensitive deformation layer 811 and a second thermosensitive deformation layer 812 fastened to the inner surface of the first thermosensitive deformation layer 811, wherein the coefficient of thermal expansion of the first thermosensitive deformation layer 811 is greater than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the second thermosensitive deformation layer 812.

[0097] With this configuration, the deformation rate of the first thermal deformation sheet 810 is large.

[0098] It is understandable that the first thermosensitive deformation layer 811 and the second thermosensitive deformation layer 812 can be connected by welding, riveting, or as an integral structure.

[0099] In some other examples, the first thermosensitive deformation sheet 810 may also be made of a material with a high coefficient of thermal expansion.

[0100] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the second heat-sensitive deformation sheet in an embodiment of the proposed drum-type garment processing device. Figure 5 As shown, and see Figures 1-3 In some examples, the second thermistor 820 is an arc-shaped piece, and its curvature increases as the temperature rises and decreases as the temperature falls. Thus, the position of the end of the second thermistor 820 connected to the second valve 720 changes significantly with temperature.

[0101] In some examples, the second thermal deformation sheet 820 includes a third thermal deformation layer 821 and a fourth thermal deformation layer 822 fastened to the inner surface of the third thermal deformation layer 821, wherein the coefficient of thermal expansion of the third thermal deformation layer 821 is greater than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the fourth thermal deformation layer 822.

[0102] With this configuration, the deformation rate of the second thermal deformation sheet 820 is large.

[0103] It is understandable that the third thermal deformation layer 821 and the fourth thermal deformation layer 822 can be connected by welding, riveting, or as an integral structure.

[0104] In some other examples, the second thermosensitive deformation sheet 820 may also be made of a material with a high coefficient of thermal expansion.

[0105] When the first thermosensitive deformation layer 810 and the second thermosensitive deformation layer 820 need to open and close the water inlet 621 and the drain outlet 220 simultaneously during the drying process, the thermal expansion coefficient of the first thermosensitive deformation layer 811 can be the same as that of the third thermosensitive deformation layer 821, and the thickness of the third thermosensitive deformation layer 821 is greater than that of the first thermosensitive deformation layer 811. The thermal expansion coefficient and thickness of the second thermosensitive deformation layer 812 are equal to those of the fourth thermosensitive deformation layer 822.

[0106] Since the temperature difference between room temperature and the injected cold water is not large, usually around 10°C, the first and second thermal deformation plates 810 and 820 must be designed to be highly sensitive to temperature changes and able to respond quickly to temperature variations. Because room temperature is not a constant value—it may be 26°C in summer and 20°C in winter—the first and second valves 710, which are likely open before the summer drying process begins, may be closed in winter.

[0107] In some possible implementations, the thermal control assembly 800 further includes a thermal telescopic rod 830, with the first thermal deformation sheet 810, the thermal telescopic rod 830, and the second thermal deformation sheet 820 being fastened together from top to bottom. The middle part of the thermal telescopic rod 830 is fastened to the inner wall of the condensation container 200, and both the first thermal deformation sheet 810 and the second thermal deformation sheet 820 are connected to the inner wall of the condensation container 200 through the thermal telescopic rod 830.

[0108] The thermal telescopic rod 830 is configured such that its upper and lower ends move away from each other as the temperature at the thermal telescopic rod 830 increases and move closer to each other as the temperature at the thermal telescopic rod 830 decreases. Furthermore, the rate of change of vertical distance of the upper end of the first thermal deformation sheet 810 is greater than the rate of change of vertical distance of the upper end of the thermal telescopic rod 830, and the rate of change of vertical distance of the lower end of the second thermal deformation sheet 820 is greater than the rate of change of vertical distance of the lower end of the thermal telescopic rod 830.

[0109] With this configuration, the thermal telescopic rod 830 can change the position of the first thermal deformation sheet 810 and the second thermal deformation sheet 820 according to changes in room temperature. This prevents the first valve 710 and the second valve 720 from closing before drying begins due to low room temperature, or from opening too wide before drying begins due to high room temperature. It also prevents excessive changes in the position of the first thermal deformation sheet 810 and the second thermal deformation sheet 820 due to excessive changes in the length of the thermal telescopic rod 830, thus ensuring the normal use of the first valve 710 and the second valve 720.

[0110] It is understandable that the room temperature in spring and autumn can be used as the standard room temperature for the design of the first thermal deformation plate 810 and the second thermal deformation plate 820. In summer and winter, the position of the first thermal deformation plate 810 and the second thermal deformation plate 820 can be changed by the thermal telescopic rod 830 to ensure that the first valve 710 and the second valve 720 can be used normally.

[0111] In some possible implementations, the thermal telescopic rod 830 includes a first thermal telescopic section 831, a connecting seat 833, and a second thermal telescopic section 832 that are sequentially and tightly connected from top to bottom.

[0112] The connecting seat 833 is fastened to the inner wall of the condenser container 200, the upper end of the first thermosensitive expansion section 831 is fastened to the lower end of the first thermosensitive deformation sheet 810, and the lower end of the second thermosensitive expansion section 832 is fastened to the upper end of the second thermosensitive deformation sheet 820.

[0113] Both the first thermal expansion segment 831 and the second thermal expansion segment 832 are configured to elongate as the temperature at their location increases and shorten as the temperature decreases. Furthermore, the vertical distance change rate of the upper end of the first thermal deformation sheet 810 is greater than that of the upper end of the first thermal expansion segment 831, and the vertical distance change rate of the lower end of the second thermal deformation sheet 820 is greater than that of the lower end of the second thermal expansion segment 832.

[0114] With this configuration, the first thermal expansion section 831 and the second expansion section independently control the positions of the first thermal deformation sheet 810 and the second thermal deformation sheet 820, without affecting each other, and there will be no deformation at the connection with the inner cavity of the condensation container 200, resulting in a stable connection.

[0115] It is understandable that both the first thermally sensitive expansion section 831 and the second thermally sensitive expansion section 832 can be rigid straight rods made of materials with a large coefficient of thermal expansion.

[0116] In some possible implementations, the first valve 710 includes a sliding rod 712, a guide sleeve 713, a cone plug 714, and a first connecting rod 711. The guide sleeve 713 is fastened to the inner wall of the condenser container 200. The sliding rod 712 is slidably connected to the guide sleeve 713 in the vertical direction. The sliding rod 712 is located above the thermal control component 800. The cone plug 714 is fastened to the upper end of the sliding rod 712 and is located directly below the water inlet 621. The upper end of the first connecting rod 711 is hinged to the lower end of the sliding rod 712, and the lower end of the first connecting rod 711 is hinged to the upper end of the thermal control component 800. The upper end of the vertically moving thermal control component 800 drives the cone plug 714 to move between blocking the water inlet 621 and moving away from the water inlet 621 through the first connecting rod 711 and the sliding rod 712.

[0117] With this configuration, when the upper end of the thermal control component 800 moves downward, it drives the cone plug 714 downward via the first connecting rod 711 and the sliding rod 712, thus opening the water inlet 621. When the upper end of the thermal control component 800 moves upward, it drives the cone plug 714 upward via the first connecting rod 711 and the sliding rod 712. After passing through the first inlet, the cone plug 714 seals the water inlet 621. The guide sleeve 713 ensures that the sliding rod 712 and the cone plug 714 move in the vertical direction, guaranteeing that the cone plug 714 can accurately seal the water inlet 621.

[0118] It is understood that in the embodiment where the thermal control assembly 800 includes a first thermal deformation sheet 810, a thermal telescopic rod 830, and a second thermal deformation sheet 820, the lower end of the first connecting rod 711 is hinged to the upper end of the thermal deformation sheet.

[0119] In some examples, the cone plug 714 can be made of an elastic material, or an elastic rubber layer can be coated onto the surface of a rigid structure to form an elastic cone plug. This results in a better sealing effect.

[0120] In some examples, the guide sleeve 713 is securely connected to the inner wall of the condenser container 200 via a connecting bracket. This allows the sliding rod 712, the cone plug 714, the first water inlet 210, and the water inlet 621 to be positioned closer to the center of the condenser container 200's inner cavity, providing greater flexibility in arrangement.

[0121] In some possible implementations, the second valve 720 includes a sealing plate 722 and a second connecting rod 721. The sealing plate 722 is used to block the drain outlet 220. The sealing plate 722 includes a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The first side is hinged to the corresponding side of the drain outlet 220, and the second side is hinged to the lower end of the second connecting rod 721. The upper end of the second connecting rod 721 is hinged to the lower end of the thermal control component 800. The lower end of the vertically moving thermal control component 800 drives the second side to rotate between the corresponding side that is in contact with the drain outlet 220 and the corresponding side that is away from the drain outlet 220 through the second connecting rod 721. The drain outlet 220 is located at the lowest point of the inner cavity of the condensation container 200.

[0122] With this configuration, when the lower end of the thermal control component 800 moves upward, the second side of the sealing plate 722 is pulled up via the second connecting rod 721, opening the drain outlet 220. When the lower end of the thermal control component 800 moves downward, the second connecting rod 721 pushes the second side of the sealing plate 722 to fit against the corresponding side of the drain outlet 220, sealing the drain outlet 220, making control convenient.

[0123] It is understood that in the embodiment where the thermal control assembly 800 includes a first thermal deformation sheet 810, a thermal telescopic rod 830, and a second thermal deformation sheet 820, the lower end of the first connecting rod 711 is hinged to the upper end of the thermal deformation sheet.

[0124] In some possible implementations, the bottom of the sealing plate 722 is covered with an elastic sealing layer, which is used to seal the drain outlet 220 through the elastic sealing layer.

[0125] With this configuration, the sealing plate 722 has a good sealing effect, and it can be further tightened after the sealing plate 722 is closed, which reduces the precision requirements for the fit of the sealing plate 722.

[0126] For example, the elastic sealing layer can be a rubber layer.

[0127] In some possible implementations, the condenser container 200 is also provided with a flow guide 730, which is located at the lower end of the first valve 710. The thermal control component 800 is located within the downward projection of the flow guide 730. The flow guide 730 is used to guide the condensate water flowing in from above to the outside of the thermal control component 800.

[0128] This configuration avoids the thermal control component 800 from deforming and closing the water inlet 621 when cold water is added through the first water inlet 210 by directly flushing it.

[0129] It is understood that in the embodiment where the thermal control component 800 includes a first thermal deformation sheet 810, a thermal telescopic rod 830, and a second thermal deformation sheet 820, the first thermal deformation sheet 810 can be located within the downward projection of the flow guide 730.

[0130] For example, the fairing 730 can be umbrella-shaped.

[0131] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the water distributor in an embodiment of the proposed drum-type garment processing equipment. Figure 6 As shown, and see Figures 1-3 In some possible implementations, the drum-type garment processing device further includes a water distributor 900, which has a pressure relief chamber 930. The upper part of the pressure relief chamber 930 is provided with a second water inlet 910, which is used to communicate with the water supply system 640. The side wall of the pressure relief chamber 930 is provided with a water distribution port 920, which is connected to the water inlet end of the water supply pipe 620.

[0132] In this way, the pressure relief chamber 930 can be used to relieve the pressure of the water supplied to the water supply system, reducing the water pressure entering the water supply pipe 620. This prevents excessive water pressure when the water supply pipe 620 is directly connected to the water supply system 640, which could cause the water inlet 621 to splash or fail to be sealed. In the embodiment where the water inlet 621 is sealed by the cone plug 714, the situation where the cone plug 714 fails to seal the water inlet 621 can be avoided.

[0133] When the condensing drying system includes a condenser, the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630 extends into the pressure relief chamber 930, and the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630 is connected to the pressure relief chamber 930. The inlet end of the water inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630 is above the water distribution port 920, and the area of ​​the second water inlet 910 is smaller than the area of ​​the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630.

[0134] With this configuration, water supplied through the second inlet 910 is first depressurized in the pressure relief chamber 930 before being supplied to the water replenishment pipe 620 and the water inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630. When the water level in the pressure relief chamber 930 reaches the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630, the water in the pressure relief chamber 930 flows into the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630. The inlet end of the water inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630 can limit the water level in the pressure relief chamber 930, thereby limiting the pressure of the water entering the water replenishment pipe 620. Furthermore, the area of ​​the second inlet 910 is smaller than the area of ​​the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630, ensuring that excess water can flow into the water inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630.

[0135] In some possible implementations, the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 633 of the condenser drying system 630 faces upward, and the downward projection of the second water inlet 910 includes a first region within the range of the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 633 of the condenser drying system 630 and a second region outside the range of the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 633 of the condenser drying system 630, wherein the area of ​​the first region is larger than the area of ​​the second region.

[0136] With this configuration, most of the water flowing in through the second inlet 910 enters the inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630, while a small portion is stored in the pressure relief chamber 930 and flows into the water supply pipe 620 through the pressure relief chamber 930. When the pressure of the water supplied from the second inlet 910 is particularly high and the pressure relief capacity of the pressure relief chamber 930 alone is insufficient, pressure relief can be achieved through the inlet end of the inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630. The pressure relief effect is good, ensuring that the water pressure flowing into the water supply pipe 620 does not exceed the pressure generated by the water level at the inlet end of the inlet pipe 633 of the condensing drying system 630.

[0137] In some examples, the water supply system 640 is equipped with a solenoid valve for controlling its on / off state.

[0138] In some examples, the water supply pipe 620 is equipped with a water supply valve to control its on / off state.

[0139] In some examples, a temperature sensor is installed inside the condenser 200. The temperature sensor communicates with and controls the opening and closing of the water supply valve and the solenoid valve. In this way, cold water can be added to the water inlet 621 according to the temperature inside the condenser 200.

[0140] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
