Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of household appliance technology, specifically, it relates to a clothing processing device with a clothing drying function, and particularly to a lint filter structure for the clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, clothing processing equipment such as dryers and washer-dryer combos, which have the function of drying clothes, are gradually entering households.

[0003] Existing washer-dryer combos generally use a condenser method, which involves adding a drying module to a regular washing machine. A circulating air duct is formed between the drying module and the drum. A fan installed on the drying module circulates the air inside the drum with the drying module as the fan rotates. The air is then dehumidified by the condenser on the drying module before being blown into the drum, thus achieving the effect of circulating airflow dehumidification and drying the clothes inside the drum.

[0004] The specific operation method is as follows:

[0005] The air coming out of the drum is hot and humid air. The hot and humid air flows into the drying module, where the condenser turns the hot and humid air into dry air and the water vapor in the hot and humid air is condensed and precipitated. Then, it is heated by the heater in the drying module and turned into high-temperature dry gas. The high-temperature dry gas finally flows back into the drum, achieving the effect of drying the clothes in the drum.

[0006] During the drying process, the hot and humid air coming out of the drum contains a lot of lint that has fallen off the clothes. Without an effective lint filter, the lint will adhere to the inside of the condenser, the inside of the fan impeller, and the air duct, affecting the airflow of the circulating air. In severe cases, it can cause air duct blockage and damage to components such as the fan.

[0007] Existing washer-dryer combos typically have a filter screen mounted on the top of the casing, installed at the connection between the drying module and the top of the drum. Users can easily remove and clean the lint filter through a detachable port on the top of the washing machine casing. However, increasingly, users are placing laundry equipment under sinks or inside cabinets, leaving no space on the machine for removing the lint filter. This forces users to drag the heavy washer-dryer combo out for cleaning, which is extremely inconvenient and causes significant problems.

[0008] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a clothing processing device with a clothing drying function, so as to prevent the lint generated inside the drum from being blown into the drying air duct and affecting the operation of the components inside the drying air duct; another objective of the present invention is to provide a clothing processing device so as to enable the disassembly and assembly of the lint filter structure from inside the drum of the clothing processing device, thereby solving the problem of limited installation conditions for the clothing processing device.

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0011] This invention provides a clothing processing device with a drying function, comprising a drum, a rotating roller coaxially mounted inside the drum, a drying air duct outside the drum, and two ends of the drying air duct connected to the drum to form a circulating air path; the air inlet end of the drying air duct is provided with a lint filter structure for filtering lint inside the drum.

[0012] Furthermore, the lint filter structure can be detachably installed on the drying duct and / or cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the air inlet of the drying air duct is connected to the inside of the cylinder through an opening on the lower side wall of the cylinder. A detachable lint filter screen is installed at the opening where the air inlet of the drying air duct connects to the cylinder to filter lint from the airflow flowing into the drying air duct from the cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, the drum has a disassembly port that corresponds to the connection between the air inlet of the drying air duct and the drum.

[0015] When the drum rotates to the disassembly / assembly position, the disassembly / assembly port on the drum at least partially overlaps with the air inlet of the drying air duct and the connection point between the drum and the duct.

[0016] Furthermore, the disassembly / reassembly port is located on the side wall of the roller;

[0017] In the axial direction of the drum, both sides of the disassembly port extend beyond the corresponding side of the lint filter structure;

[0018] In the circumferential direction of the roller, the width of the disassembly port is greater than the width of the lint filter structure.

[0019] Furthermore, the roller has an openable and closable hinged door at the disassembly port. One side of the hinged door is hinged to the side wall of the roller, and the other side of the hinged door is connected to the roller with an openable and closable locking structure.

[0020] Furthermore, the hinged side of the flip door is mounted on the roller and can be flipped inwards via a pivot structure. The side of the flip door facing outwards from the roller is made of a mirror surface that allows for reflection and observation.

[0021] Furthermore, the pivot of the flip door is parallel to and spaced apart from the corresponding side of the flip door, so that after the flip door flips open inward toward the drum, the side of the flip door protrudes out of the outer wall of the drum, forming a flipping protrusion; the distance L between the pivot of the flip door and the corresponding side of the flip door is less than the distance r between the outer side of the drum sidewall and the inner side of the drum sidewall.

[0022] An inwardly protruding positioning protrusion is provided on the inner side of the cylinder sidewall at the connection point between the air inlet end of the drying air duct and the cylinder. The positioning protrusion is offset to the side of the cylinder rotation direction relative to the connection point between the air inlet end of the drying air duct and the cylinder. The radial extension height h of the positioning protrusion is less than the distance r between the cylinder and the cylinder and greater than the difference between the distance r between the cylinder and the cylinder and the distance L between the pivot of the flip door and the corresponding side of the flip door.

[0023] Furthermore, the hinge axis of the flip door is parallel to the axis of the drum, so that the flip protrusion is located upstream of the drum rotation direction at the point where the air inlet of the drying air duct connects to the drum.

[0024] Furthermore, a contact switch is provided on the positioning protrusion.

[0025] The flip-up protrusion on the roller is equipped with a trigger.

[0026] When the roller rotates to the disassembly / assembly position, the flip door is in the open state. The flip protrusion of the flip door comes into contact with the positioning protrusion, causing the trigger part to connect with the contact switch to generate a trigger signal.

[0027] Furthermore, an automatic push-locking structure is provided between the lint filter structure and the drying air duct and / or cylinder;

[0028] When the triggering part connects with the contact switch to generate a trigger signal, the automatic spring-retracting locking structure changes to the unlocked state, the lint filter structure is unlocked from the drying air duct and / or drum, and is pushed into the drum from the opened disassembly port by the spring force.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0030] By placing the lint filter structure at the air inlet of the drying duct and connecting it to the cylinder, the lint in the airflow blown into the drying duct is filtered, preventing lint from flowing into the drying duct and interfering with the normal operation of the components inside the drying duct.

[0031] By setting a disassembly port on the roller, when the roller rotates to the set disassembly position, the user can disassemble and assemble the lint filter structure through the corresponding disassembly port. This allows the lint filter structure to be disassembled and assembled from the inside of the roller, thereby eliminating the need to reserve external space for disassembling and assembling the lint filter structure and improving the versatility of the installation location for the garment processing equipment.

[0032] Furthermore, by setting a flip door at the disassembly / assembly port, the outward-protruding flip-out part of the flip door contacts the positioning protrusion on the inner wall of the cylinder, causing the roller to be blocked and stop rotating, thereby achieving the purpose of positioning the roller when it rotates to the set disassembly / assembly position, thus achieving the effect of pre-positioning the roller at the disassembly / assembly position.

[0033] At the same time, the present invention has a simple structure, significant effects, and is suitable for widespread use.

[0034] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0044] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0045] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" 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 mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] This invention provides a garment processing device. This device can be an existing dryer with only garment drying function, a washer-dryer combo integrating garment drying and washing functions, or any other garment processing device with a garment drying function. For ease of description, this invention will be further described below using a washer-dryer combo as an example:

[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a clothing processing device with a drying function, which includes a housing 1; a cylinder 2 is installed inside the housing 1, and the cylinder 2 is installed inside the housing 1 in a vibratory manner via a shock-absorbing component, such as a shock-absorbing rod, a shock-absorbing spring, etc.; a roller 3 is installed inside the cylinder 2, and the roller 3 is coaxially arranged with the cylinder 2; a motor is provided at the bottom of the cylinder 2, and the rotating shaft of the motor is coaxially connected with the roller 3 to drive the roller 3 to rotate around the shaft; the housing 1 is also provided with a clothing inlet that is opened opposite to the opening of the cylinder 2, and a door 8 is installed on the housing 1 that can open and close the clothing inlet and correspondingly close the opening of the cylinder.

[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, the housing 1 of the clothing processing equipment is provided with a drying air duct 5, and both ends of the drying air duct 5 are connected to the cylinder 2 to form a circulating air duct. A fan 18 is provided in the drying air duct 5 to drive the circulating air duct to generate a circulating airflow. At the same time, in order to realize the precipitation of water vapor in the circulating airflow, a condenser 9 is also provided in the drying air duct 5 for heat exchange with the circulating airflow and precipitation of water vapor in the form of condensate. The condenser 9 can be an existing condenser or other existing water vapor separation components. In addition, in order to speed up the drying process, a heater 10 is also provided in the drying air duct 5. The heater 10 heats the circulating airflow, and the heated circulating airflow flows into the cylinder 2 to increase the temperature inside the cylinder 2, accelerate the evaporation of water vapor on the clothes inside the cylinder 2, and improve the separation efficiency of clothes and water.

[0049] Preferably, the air inlet 11 of the drying air duct 5 is connected to the lower part of the cylinder 2, and the air outlet 12 of the drying air duct 5 is connected to the upper part of the cylinder 2, thereby realizing the effect of circulating airflow blowing into the cylinder 2 from top to bottom and drying the cylinder 2 in all directions.

[0050] In a further preferred embodiment, the condenser 9 is positioned upstream of the heater 10 in the drying air duct 5, so that the circulating airflow blown into the drying air duct 5 first condenses and precipitates water vapor, reducing the humidity of the circulating airflow, and then increases the temperature of the circulating airflow to blow the high-temperature dry airflow into the drum 2, thereby achieving the effect of drying the clothes inside the drum 2.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, during the circulation of airflow, lint and other debris on clothing will flow with the airflow. If the lint and other debris are blown into the drying duct, they will be caught by the fan blades, affecting the airflow; if they accumulate at the condenser, they will affect the heat exchange effect; and if they get tangled at the heater, they will burn it out. To avoid the above situations, a lint filter structure needs to be installed in the circulation duct to intercept the lint in the circulation airflow and prevent it from flowing freely.

[0052] To solve the above problems, the lint filter structure 4 is generally installed at the upper part of the drying air duct 5, which is connected to the cylinder 2. After installation, the lint filter structure 4 can be disassembled entirely from the top of the housing 1, or only the filter element installed on it, thus achieving the effect of detachable cleaning of the lint filter structure 4. However, existing clothing processing equipment using the above method requires an outwardly opening cover plate at the top of the housing 1 to allow for the removal and placement of the filter element of the lint filter structure from the top. However, the above structure also has the following problems: sufficient space needs to be reserved at the top of the housing of the clothing processing equipment to realize the function of removing and placing the filter element of the lint filter structure. However, when the clothing processing equipment is installed under a countertop, sink, etc., due to height and space limitations, it is impossible to reserve space at the top of the clothing processing equipment, which means that the lint filter device of the above structure cannot be installed on the upper part of the housing of the clothing processing equipment.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, a novel clothing processing device is proposed. A lint filter structure 4 is provided at the connection between the air inlet end 11 of the drum 2 and the drying air duct 5. This structure is used to filter lint from the circulating airflow between the drum 2 and the drying air duct 5. The lint filter structure 4 can directly filter the lint in the airflow to be blown into the drying air duct 5, and the lint from the clothing can be trapped in the drum 2 upstream of the drying air duct 5. This effectively prevents the lint from flowing into the drying air duct 5 and interfering with the normal operation of the components inside the drying air duct 5.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, the lint filter structure 4 is detachably installed on the drying duct 5 and / or cylinder 2. The lint filter structure 4 is detachably installed on the drying duct 5 and / or cylinder 2, so that the lint filter structure 4 can be removed for cleaning, effectively achieving the effect of removing the intercepted lint and cleaning and maintaining the lint filter structure 4.

[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, the air inlet 11 of the drying air duct 5 is connected to the lower part of the cylinder 2, and the air outlet 12 of the drying air duct 5 is connected to the upper part of the cylinder 2. Preferably, the cylinder is arranged with its axis horizontal or approximately horizontal. The air inlet 11 of the drying air duct 5 is connected to the interior of the cylinder 2 through an opening provided on the lower side wall of the cylinder 2. A detachable lint filter screen is laid at the opening where the air inlet 11 of the drying air duct 5 connects to the cylinder 2. The lint filter screen constitutes a lint filter structure 4, which is used to filter lint from the airflow flowing from the cylinder 2 into the drying air duct 5. The lint filter screen is detachably installed on the opening on the side wall of the cylinder 2 via a bracket, so as to achieve the effect that the lint filter screen constitutes a detachable lint filter structure 4 on the cylinder and can be disassembled and cleaned.

[0056] Meanwhile, in this embodiment of the invention, the lint filter structure 4 can also be detachably installed in the drying air duct 5, so that the lint filter structure 4 and the drying air duct 5 can be directly detachably assembled, thereby achieving the effect of installing the lint filter structure 4 on the clothing processing equipment.

[0057] In this embodiment of the invention, in order to enable the detachable cleaning of the installed lint filter structure 4, the lint filter structure 4 is detachably installed on the cylinder 2 and / or the drying air duct 5 in a direction that allows it to be detached from the inside of the cylinder 2; and in order to enable the user to detach the lint filter structure 4 from the inside of the cylinder 2, the following settings are made:

[0058] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the roller 3 has a disassembly port 6 corresponding to the connection between the air inlet end 11 of the drying air duct 5 and the cylinder 2. When the roller 3 rotates to the disassembly position, the disassembly port 6 on the roller 3 overlaps at least partially with the connection between the air inlet end 11 of the drying air duct 5 and the cylinder 2. This allows the user to disassemble and assemble the lint filter structure 4 through the corresponding disassembly port 6 when the roller 3 rotates to the set disassembly position. This allows the lint filter structure 4 to be disassembled and assembled by the user from the inside of the cylinder 2, thereby achieving the goal of eliminating the need to reserve space for disassembly and assembly of the lint filter structure 4 on the outside of the garment processing equipment and improving the versatility of the garment processing equipment's installation location.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, the disassembly port 6 is located on the side wall of the roller 3. The size requirements of the disassembly port 6 are as follows: in the axial direction of the roller 3, both sides of the disassembly port 6 extend beyond the corresponding sides of the lint filter structure 4; in the radial direction of the roller 3, the width of the disassembly port 6 is greater than the width of the lint filter structure 4.

[0060] With the above settings, the length and width of the disassembly port are both larger than the size of the lint filter structure, allowing the lint filter structure to be easily disassembled and removed or inserted for installation through the disassembly port, thereby effectively improving the ease of disassembly and installation of the lint filter structure.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment of the invention, the disassembly port 6 of the roller 3 is provided with an openable and closable hinged door 7. One side of the hinged door 7 is hinged to the side wall of the roller 3, and the other sides of the hinged door 7 are provided with an openable and closable locking structure between them and the side wall of the roller 3. In this embodiment of the invention, the locking structure can be any existing latch; preferably, in order to improve the locking effect, the locking structure is provided on the opposite side of the hinged side of the hinged side of the roller 3, so that the opposite sides of the hinged door 7 are fixedly connected to the roller 3 via the hinge shaft and the locking structure, thereby improving the tightness of the hinged door when it is closed and locked during the rotation of the roller 3, and thus effectively reducing the noise during the rotation of the roller 3.

[0062] In this embodiment of the invention, the flip door 7 is an arc plate with the same shape as the side wall of the drum 3, so that when the flip door 7 is closed, it together with the side wall of the drum 3 forms a cylindrical structure, which can effectively agitate the clothes in the drum 3 and prevent eccentric displacement when rotating around the axis, and can also effectively prevent the flip door from tangling the clothes.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the hinged side of the flip door 7 is mounted on the roller 3 and can be flipped open to the inside of the roller 3 via a rotating shaft structure, so that the flip door 7 can be flipped open to the inside of the roller 3, thereby effectively improving the user's convenience in disassembling and assembling the lint filter structure.

[0064] Meanwhile, preferably, in this embodiment of the invention, the side of the flip door 7 facing the outside of the roller 3 is made of a mirror that can reflect light, so that after the flip door 7 is flipped open facing the inside of the roller 3, the user can use the mirror to effectively observe the lint filter structure 4 installed on the outside of the roller 3, thereby facilitating the user's disassembly and assembly of the lint filter structure 4 and further improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the lint filter structure 4.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the pivot 13 of the flip door 7 is parallel to and spaced apart from the corresponding side of the flip door 7, so that after the flip door 7 flips inward and opens, the side of the flip door 7 protrudes from the outer wall of the roller 3, forming a flipping protrusion 14; the distance L between the pivot 13 of the flip door 7 and the corresponding side of the flip door 7 is less than the distance r between the outer side of the roller 3 side wall and the inner side of the roller 2 side wall, so that after the flip door 7 flips inward and opens, at least a portion of the flip door 7 flips outward and protrudes radially from the outer wall of the roller, forming an outwardly protruding flipping protrusion 14;

[0066] Meanwhile, an inwardly protruding positioning protrusion 15 is provided on the inner side of the side wall of the cylinder 2 at the connection point between the air inlet end 11 of the drying air duct 5 and the cylinder 2. The positioning protrusion 15 is set on the side offset from the connection point between the air inlet end 11 of the drying air duct 5 and the cylinder 2 towards the rotation direction of the roller 3. The radial extension height h of the positioning protrusion 15 is less than the distance r between the cylinder 2 and the roller 3, and greater than the difference between the distance r between the cylinder 2 and the roller 3 and the distance L between the rotating shaft 13 of the flip door 4 and the corresponding side of the flip door 7. This is so that after the roller 3 rotates to the set disassembly and assembly position, the outwardly protruding flipping protrusion 14 of the flip door 7 contacts the positioning protrusion 15 provided on the inner wall of the cylinder 2, causing the roller 3 to be blocked and stop rotating. This achieves the purpose of positioning the roller 3 when it rotates to the set disassembly and assembly position, thereby achieving the effect of pre-positioning the roller at the disassembly and assembly position.

[0067] In this embodiment of the invention, the rotating shaft 13 of the flip door 7 is parallel to the axis of the roller 3, so that the flipping protrusion 14 is located upstream of the roller 3 in the rotation direction at the point where the air inlet of the drying air duct 5 connects to the cylinder 2. At the same time, the positioning protrusion 15 is also located upstream of the roller 3 in the rotation direction relative to the air inlet of the drying air duct 5, so that the positioning protrusion 15 and the flipping protrusion 14 of the opened flip door 7 can achieve the purpose of roller positioning when the inspection port overlaps with the lint filter structure.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, a contact switch 16 is provided on the positioning protrusion 15, and the contact switch 16 is located on the side that contacts the flip-out protrusion 14 of the flip-out door 7; a trigger part 17 is provided on the flip-out protrusion 14 of the flip-out door 7 provided on the roller 3, and the trigger part 17 is located on the side that contacts the positioning protrusion 15.

[0069] Preferred, such as Figure 4 As shown, the contact point of the contact switch 16 is located in the groove on one side of the positioning protrusion 15. The corresponding trigger part 17 is a protruding rib that is provided on the flip protrusion 14 of the flip door 7 and extends outward. This allows the protruding rib to extend into the groove after the flip protrusion 14 of the flip door 7 comes into contact with the positioning protrusion 15, thus enabling the trigger part 17 to make effective contact with the contact switch 16 and trigger the contact switch 16 to generate a trigger signal. This effectively prevents the contact switch 16 from being accidentally triggered after other components come into contact with the positioning protrusion 15.

[0070] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, when the roller 3 rotates to the disassembly position, the flip door 7 is in the open state. Then, the flipping protrusion 14 of the flip door 7 contacts the positioning protrusion 15, causing the trigger part 17 to connect with the contact switch 16 to generate a trigger signal, indicating that the lint filter structure 4 can be disassembled.

[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, an automatic push-and-lock structure is provided between the lint filter structure 4 and the drying duct 5 and / or the cylinder 2. The push-and-lock structure can be any existing structure, for example, an electromagnetic lock is installed between the lint filter structure and the cylinder. The electromagnetic lock unlocks after receiving a trigger signal from a contact switch; and locks when the contact switch is not triggered. Simultaneously, a compressed spring is automatically installed between the lint filter structure and the drying duct, so that after the electromagnetic lock unlocks, the spring releases its elastic force, and the lint filter structure is automatically pushed out by the elastic force (not shown in the accompanying drawings).

[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, when the triggering part 17 is connected to the contact switch 16 to generate a trigger signal, the automatic spring-removal locking structure changes to the unlocked state, the lint filter structure 4 is unlocked from the drying air duct 5 and / or the drum 2, and is pushed into the drum 3 from the opened disassembly port 6 by the spring force, so as to achieve the effect of automatic disassembly of the lint filter structure.

[0073] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
