The following examples are used to illustrate the present application but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0048] The embodiment of the present application provides a base assembly 100 for a clothes treating device.

[0049] The present application provides a clothes processing device. Figure 1 , includes a laundry processing machine 4000 and a base assembly 100 according to any embodiment of the present application, and the base assembly 100 is located below the laundry processing machine 4000.

[0050] The base assembly 100 includes a base 1 having a receiving space 11 for receiving the cleaning robot 3000 (see Figure 3 and Figure 6 ). It should be noted that the accommodating space 11 refers to the area where the cleaning robot 3000 is docked.

[0051] The cleaning robot 3000 can be used to automatically clean dust and hair on the ground. If a mop is provided on the cleaning robot 3000, the cleaning robot 3000 can mop the ground after cleaning the ground. The functions of the base assembly 100 in the embodiment of the present application include but are not limited to charging, dust removal, cleaning, drying and disinfecting the cleaning robot 3000.

[0052] Exemplarily, the cleaning robot 3000 includes a first communication module, and the base assembly 100 includes a second communication module, and the cleaning robot 3000 and the base assembly 100 can communicate through the first communication module and the second communication module. For example, when the cleaning robot 3000 needs to remove dust or charge, it can communicate wirelessly through the first communication module and the second communication module, so as to return to the accommodation space 11 by itself. Exemplarily, the first communication module and the second communication module can include but are not limited to one or more wireless data communication modules such as a Bluetooth module, a wireless fidelity (Wireless Fidelity, WIFI) module, a fourth or fifth generation (4th Generation / 5th Generation, 4G / 5G) communication module or an infrared module.

[0053] The clothes processing machine 4000 may include various forms, such as a washing machine, a dehydrating machine, a drying machine, and a washing and drying machine, etc. The specific application scenario of the clothes processing machine 4000 does not limit the structure of the base assembly 100 of the present invention.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the base assembly 100 is integrated under the clothing treatment machine 4000. On the one hand, the space under the clothing treatment machine 4000 can be used to store the cleaning robot 3000, and the cleaning robot does not need to occupy additional indoor placement space; on the other hand, the clothing treatment machine 4000 is placed near the faucet and floor drain to facilitate water intake and drainage. In this way, it is convenient to use the existing water intake and drainage convenience of the laundry treatment machine to intake and drain water from the base assembly, thereby solving the water intake and drainage waterway problem of the base assembly.

[0055] The specific manner in which the base assembly 100 is integrated under the laundry processing machine 4000 is not limited.

[0056] For example, in some embodiments, the lower part of the laundry processing machine has an installation cavity, and the base assembly is arranged in the installation cavity. In this embodiment, the installation cavity is reserved on the original laundry processing machine 4000 for assembling the base assembly 100.

[0057] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The laundry processing device includes a carrier 200 for supporting a laundry processing machine 4000, an installation space 200a is defined in the carrier 200, a base assembly 100 is disposed in the installation space 200a, and the carrier 200 and the base assembly 100 constitute a base device 1000. The laundry processing machine 4000 is supported on the carrier 200. The base device 1000 and the laundry processing machine 4000 can be used separately or in combination.

[0058] The support frame 200 needs to bear the entire weight of the laundry processing machine 4000 and needs to have sufficient strength.

[0059] In some embodiments, the laundry machine 4000 and the carrier 200 are connected in a non-detachable manner, for example, by welding, riveting, etc.

[0060] In some other embodiments, the laundry processing machine 4000 can be detachably mounted on the carrier 200 .

[0061] In this embodiment, during transportation, the clothing treatment machine 4000 and the base device 1000 can be packaged and transported separately, thus reducing the packaging size; the base device 1000 can be used as an optional component and can be assembled or not assembled on the clothing treatment machine 4000 according to the user's choice. The base device 1000 itself does not affect the independent use of the clothing treatment machine 4000, thereby improving the user's flexibility in selection.

[0062] See also Figure 6 The accommodating space 11 is provided with a dust collecting port 12, which is used to dock with the dust exhaust port of the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000. Specifically, when the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the accommodating space 11, the dust collecting port 12 docks with the dust exhaust port of the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000, so that the dust collecting port 12 is connected to the dust storage space.

[0063] See also Figure 6 and Fig.10 A return air port 13 is provided on the side wall of the accommodating space 11 , and the return air port 13 is used to connect with the return air interface of the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000 .

[0064] The base assembly 100 includes a dust collecting assembly 2 (see Figure 6 ), see Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The dust collecting assembly 2 includes a dust collector 2″, a dust collecting pipe 21 and a return air pipe 25. The dust collector 2″ has an air inlet and an air outlet. The dust collecting pipe 21 connects the dust collecting port 12 and the air inlet of the dust collector 2″. The return air pipe 25 connects the air outlet of the dust collector 2″ and the return air port 13.

[0065] When the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the accommodating space 11, the return air port 13 is connected to the return air interface, the dust collecting port 12 is connected to the dust exhaust port, and the dust collecting pipe 21, the dust collector 2", the return air duct 25, and the dust storage space are connected in sequence to form a circulating air path. When the dust collector 2" is working, a negative pressure is generated in the space inside the dust collector 2", so that the dust collecting port 12 is also a negative pressure environment. The impurities in the dust storage space of the cleaning robot 3000 are sucked into the dust collector 2" under the action of the negative pressure, and the gas can circulate between the dust storage space and the dust collecting component 2, thereby increasing the air intake of the component 2 and exhausting the dust more thoroughly.

[0066] It should be noted that the dust collector 2" has a filter component 222, which is used to filter and contain impurities in the airflow entering the dust collector 2". The impurities are intercepted in the filter component 222, and the airflow entering the dust collector 2"2 is filtered by the filter component 222 before flowing to the return air duct 25. In other words, the airflow in the return air duct 25 basically does not carry impurities.

[0067] For example, see Fig.10 , the length of the dust collecting pipe 21 is less than that of the return air pipe 25. In this embodiment, the return air pipe 25 is longer and the length of the dust collecting pipe 21 is shorter. The dust collecting pipe 21 has a shorter airflow path, which can reduce the probability of dust staying in the dust collecting pipe 21; and the return air pipe 25 mainly passes through the filtered airflow, and there is no problem of impurities clogging and staying in the pipe, so the return air pipe 25 can be set longer.

[0068] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The dust collector 2″ includes a dust box 22 and a dust collecting motor 23. The dust collecting motor 23 is used to suck the air in the dust box 22 so that negative pressure is generated in the dust box 22. The air inlet of the dust collector 2″ is set on the dust box 22, and the air outlet of the dust collector 2″ is the air outlet of the dust collecting motor 23. The airflow discharged from the dust collecting motor 23 enters the return air duct 25.

[0069] Exemplarily, the dust collecting box 22 includes a dust collecting shell 221 and the above-mentioned filter component 222, and the filter component 222 is pullably disposed in the dust collecting shell 221.

[0070] The specific type of the filter component 222 is not limited, for example, it can be a dust bag or a dust box.

[0071] Exemplarily, a pull-out opening 22a for pulling out the filter component 222 is provided on the front side of the dust collecting housing 221, and the filter component 222 is pulled out of the dust collecting housing 221 or placed in the dust collecting housing 221 through the pull-out opening 22a.

[0072] After using for a period of time, the user can remove the filter component 222 for cleaning, and then put the filter component 222 into the dust collecting housing 221. In this embodiment, the filter component 222 can be reused. Alternatively, the filter component 222 is used as a disposable item, which is discarded after being removed, and a new filter component 222 is put into the dust collecting housing 221.

[0073] Exemplarily, the dust collector 2 ″ is disposed on any lateral side of the accommodating space 11 .

[0074] It should be noted that the lateral side refers to any side in a plane perpendicular to the up and down direction, for example, the left side, the right side, the front side, the rear side, etc.

[0075] In this embodiment, the dust collector 2″ and the accommodating space 11 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, that is, the dust collector 2″ will not be located above the base 1. Therefore, it helps to reduce the size of the base assembly 100 in the up and down directions, so that the base assembly 100 has a flat design, so that it is convenient to integrate the base assembly 100 under the laundry processing machine 4000.

[0076] In the related art, the dust collector 2" is located obliquely above the accommodating space 11. During the dust removal process, larger impurities cannot be sucked upward into the dust collector 2" due to the greater gravity, resulting in incomplete dust removal, impurities remaining in the pipeline, and easily causing pipeline blockage.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, since the dust collector 2" and the accommodating space 11 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, during the dust discharge process, the impurities move roughly horizontally from the dust collecting port 12 to the dust collector 2", and the negative pressure does not need to overcome the gravity of the impurities. Therefore, the impurities can smoothly enter the dust collector 2", and the dust discharge is more thorough.

[0078] Exemplarily, the height of the dust collector 2 ″ does not exceed the height of the top of the base 1 . That is, the dust collector 2 ″ does not additionally increase the height of the base assembly 100 .

[0079] For example, see Figure 6 The dust collector 2″ and the accommodating space 11 are arranged side by side and spaced apart in the left-right direction. That is, the dust collector 2″ and the base 1 are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and the dust collecting pipe 21 is arranged at the space between the dust collector 2″ and the base 1 in the left-right direction. In this way, the dust collecting pipe 21 is shorter in length, which can shorten the moving path of impurities in the dust collecting pipe 21, reduce wind resistance, improve dust removal efficiency, and also help to reduce the assembly size of the entire dust collecting assembly 2.

[0080] Exemplarily, the dust collector 2" is arranged on the right side of the accommodating space 11, so that a larger space is freed up for the left side and the rear side of the base 1, and it is convenient to arrange the components related to water inlet and drainage.

[0081] For example, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The dust collecting motor 23 and the dust collecting box 22 are arranged in the front-to-back direction, and the dust collecting motor 23 is arranged behind the dust collecting box 22. The air inlet of the dust collector 2" is arranged on the left side wall of the dust collecting box 22, and the air outlet of the dust collector 2" is located at the rear end of the dust collecting motor 23. In this way, the space behind the dust collecting box 22 can be fully utilized to avoid excessively increasing the size of the base assembly 100 in the left-right direction; in addition, it will not affect the placement and removal of the filter component 222.

[0082] Exemplarily, the dust collecting pipe 21 curves from the dust collecting port 12 to the air inlet on the left side wall of the dust collecting box 22. In this embodiment, the air inlet end of the dust collecting pipe 21 can be bent forward from the right rear corner of the base 1 more smoothly, which is convenient for pipe laying.

[0083] The specific position of the return air outlet 13 is not limited, for example, it can be the rear side wall, the left side wall, etc.

[0084] For example, see Figure 6 and Fig.10 The dust collector 2″ is arranged on the right side of the base 1, the return air port 13 is arranged at the left rear corner of the side wall of the accommodating space 11, and the return air duct 25 is arranged from the rear of the base 1 to the return air port 13. In this embodiment, the return air duct 25 is arranged in a relatively smooth manner without having to pass through a large bend, thereby reducing the resistance of the air flow in the return air duct 25. In addition, the space behind the base 1 can be fully utilized.

[0085] For example, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig.10 The base assembly 100 includes a charging terminal 17 disposed on the rear side wall of the accommodating space 11. After the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the accommodating space 11, it can be electrically connected to the charging terminal 17 to achieve charging.

[0086] For example, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The base assembly 100 includes a power module 31, which is electrically connected to the charging terminal 17. The power module 31 is used to convert the input alternating current into direct current. The charging terminal 17 uses direct current to charge the cleaning robot 3000.

[0087] It is understandable that the dust collecting motor 23 can be directly connected to AC power.

[0088] For example, see Figure 5 , Fig. 9 The base assembly 100 includes a drying assembly 4, see Figure 6 The rear side wall of the accommodating space 11 is provided with an air inlet 15 , and the hot air generated by the drying component 4 is introduced into the accommodating space 11 through the air inlet 15 , so that the user dries the mop of the cleaning robot 3000 .

[0089] It should be noted that the inlet air is as close as possible to the lower part of the rear side wall of the accommodating space 11 to facilitate directing the hot air flow to the mop at the bottom of the cleaning robot 3000.

[0090] For example, see Figure 5 , Fig. 9 The drying assembly 4 includes a fan 41 and a drying tunnel 42. It should be noted that a heating element is provided inside the drying tunnel 42 or the fan 41. The heating element is used to heat the air so that the airflow discharged from the drying tunnel 42 is a hot airflow.

[0091] The fan 41 is placed flat on the top surface of the base 1, and the air outlet of the fan 41 is located at the rear end of the fan 41 and faces the rear of the base 1. The drying tunnel 42 communicates with the air inlet 15 and the air outlet at the rear end of the fan 41.

[0092] Among them, the fan 41 is placed flat on the top surface of the base 1, which means that the rotation axis direction of the impeller of the fan 41 is roughly along the up and down direction, and the fan 41 is roughly flat in the axial direction. The flat structure is placed flat on the top surface of the base 1. In this way, the size of the fan 41 in the up and down direction can be reduced, which is convenient for the flat design of the base assembly 100.

[0093] The drying tunnel 42 extends downward from the air outlet of the fan 41 . The drying tunnel 42 is generally in a flat tubular structure and is attached to the rear surface of the base 1 to minimize the size of the drying tunnel 42 along the front-to-back direction.

[0094] The number of the drying tunnels 42 is not limited, and may be one or more.

[0095] For example, see Fig. 9 , there are two drying channels 42 and two air inlets 15. The two air inlets 15 are staggered in the left and right directions. The upper ends of the two drying channels 42 are connected to the air outlet of the fan 41, and the other ends are connected to a corresponding air inlet 15. In this way, air can be discharged to the mop of the cleaning robot 3000 in multiple directions to improve the drying efficiency. In addition, by sharing the air volume of the fan 41 with the two drying channels 42, the flow rate of each drying channel 42 can be reduced, which is convenient for the small size design of each drying channel 42.

[0096] For example, see Fig.10 , the return air duct 25 is arranged behind the drying tunnel 42, that is, the drying tunnel 42 is located between the return air duct 25 and the rear surface of the base 1. Since the return air duct 25 needs to have a large air volume, the size of the return air duct 25 is relatively large, and the return air duct 25 will not fit the surface of the base 1. Arranging the return air duct 25 behind the drying tunnel 42 can avoid interference between the drying tunnel 42 and the return air duct 25, and can also make full use of the space between the return air duct 25 and the rear surface of the base 1, so that the base assembly structure is compact.

[0097] For example, see Fig. 9The charging terminal 17 is roughly located in the middle area of ​​the rear side wall of the accommodating space 11 along the left-right direction, and the two drying tunnels 42 are located on the left and right sides of the charging terminal 17. In other words, each charging terminal 17 is located between the two drying tunnels 42, so that the space between the two drying tunnels 42 can be fully utilized, and the interference between the two drying tunnels 42 and the charging terminal 17 is avoided.

[0098] Exemplarily, along the left and right direction of the base assembly 100, the drying channel 42 is arranged between the dust collecting port 12 and the return air port 13. In this way, the space between the air inlet end of the dust collecting pipe 21 and the air outlet end of the return air pipe 25 can be fully utilized, making the structure more compact.

[0099] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The base assembly 100 includes a control mainboard 32, which is used to electrically control the electrical components of the base assembly 100, for example, to electrically control the dust collecting motor 23, the fan 41, the power module 31, the charging terminal 17, etc. In other words, the base assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application can be independently controlled and is not affected by the clothes processing machine. It only needs to connect the control mainboard 32 to the power supply. In this way, even if the clothes processing machine is not powered on and does not work, the base assembly 100 can also work independently.

[0100] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The control mainboard 32 is disposed on the top of the base 1 and arranged side by side with the fan 41 along the left-right direction. In this way, the space on the top of the base 1 can be fully utilized.

[0101] Exemplarily, the control main board 32 is located on the right side of the fan 41, so that the control main board 32 is closer to the dust collecting motor 23 and the power module 31, thereby shortening the length of the wires therebetween.

[0102] For example, see Fig.11 The bottom wall of the receiving space 11 is provided with a cleaning tank 16 for storing cleaning liquid, which may be tap water or a mixture of tap water and detergent. After the cleaning robot 3000 returns to the base station, the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 16 may be used to clean the mop of the cleaning robot 3000.

[0103] There is no limit to the way to achieve the mop cleaning function. The cleaning robot 3000 can control the mop to rotate or vibrate to contact the water in the cleaning tank 16 to achieve the cleaning function. The cleaning function can also be achieved by arranging a friction member such as a brush head in the cleaning tank and controlling the brush head to contact and rub with the mop on the cleaning robot 3000.

[0104] The base assembly 100 includes a water inlet assembly 5 , which includes a water inlet passage 53 for supplying water to the cleaning tank 16 and a water inlet valve 51 arranged on the water inlet passage 53 . The water inlet passage 53 is used to introduce an external water source and guide the water flow into the cleaning tank 16 .

[0105] In this embodiment, the water inlet passage 53 automatically introduces an external water source, and the user does not need to add water manually. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the water inlet passage 53 can be completely independent of the water inlet system of the laundry machine, that is, the two are independently connected to different faucets. In other embodiments, the water inlet passage 53 and the water inlet system of the laundry machine are connected to the same faucet through components such as a tee pipe.

[0106] In some embodiments, the water inlet valve 51 may be a flow limiting valve with a flow limiting function. That is, when the flow rate of water flowing through the water inlet valve 51 is greater than a set value, the water inlet valve 51 is closed. In this way, excessive flow rate of water is avoided.

[0107] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The water inlet assembly 5 includes a pressure relief container 52, which is disposed on the water inlet passage 53, and the water inlet valve 51 is located upstream of the pressure relief container 52, that is, the water flow of the water inlet passage 53 first flows through the water inlet valve 51, then flows through the pressure relief container 52, and finally enters the cleaning tank 16. The pressure relief container 52 can relieve pressure and slow down the flow, so that the water flows at a suitable flow rate, and avoids excessive water pressure in the water inlet passage 53 causing water splashing.

[0108] Exemplarily, the water inlet valve 51 and the pressure relief container 52 are both arranged on the left rear side of the base 1, so that the water inlet valve 51 and the water inlet position of the clothing treatment machine 4000 are located on the same side of the clothing treatment device along the left-right direction, which is convenient for centralized arrangement of water pipes and reducing the length of water pipes.

[0109] Exemplarily, the pressure relief container 52 is disposed above the return air port 13. Since the air outlet end of the return air duct 25 needs to be bent at the return air port 13, and the bending part needs a larger bending radius, the pressure relief container 52 is arranged above the return air port 13, so that the pressure relief container 52 does not additionally increase the size of the base 1 in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction.

[0110] For example, see Figure 6 The left and right walls of the accommodation space 11 are each provided with a water inlet 14, see Figure 7 and Figure 8The water inlet passage 53 includes a first pipeline 531 and a second pipeline 532 connected to the pressure relief container 52. The first pipeline 531 is arranged from the right rear of the base 1 to the water inlet 14 on the right side of the base 1, and the second pipeline 532 is arranged from the left rear of the base 1 to the water inlet 14 on the left side of the base 1. In this embodiment, multiple water inlets 14 are simultaneously filled with water, which is convenient for increasing the water inlet speed of the cleaning tank 16 and also convenient for supplying water to the cleaning tank 16 from multiple angles. For example, in some embodiments, the water discharged from the water inlet 14 can first flush the mop and then flow back into the cleaning tank 16, so that the mop can be flushed at multiple angles.

[0111] In some alternative embodiments, if the water inlet speed does not need to be considered, the number of water inlet 14 may be one.

[0112] Exemplarily, the base assembly 100 includes a detergent delivery device 6 disposed on the top of the base 1 , and the detergent delivery device 6 is used to directly or indirectly pump detergent into the cleaning tank 16 to improve the cleaning effect on the mop.

[0113] The specific type of detergent is not limited, and it can be laundry detergent, disinfectant, perfume, etc., and is not limited here.

[0114] For example, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The detergent dispensing device 6 includes a detergent box 61 for storing detergent and a dispensing pump 62 for extracting detergent from the detergent box 61. The dispensing pump 62 can automatically and quantitatively extract detergent from the detergent box 61 to achieve automatic dispensing.

[0115] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the detergent box 61 can be a disposable device. After the detergent in the detergent box 61 is used up, the detergent box 61 is taken out and replaced with a new detergent box 61. In other embodiments, the user can fill the detergent box 61 with detergent, and the detergent box 61 can be reused.

[0116] In some embodiments, the detergent pumped out from the dosing pump 62 directly enters the cleaning tank 16 and is dissolved in the cleaning tank 16 .

[0117] In other embodiments, the liquid outlet of the detergent dispensing device 6 is connected to the pressure relief container 52, that is, the outlet of the dispensing pump 62 is connected to the pressure relief container 52, so as to quantitatively pump detergent to the pressure relief container 52. The detergent is dissolved in the pressure relief container 52 and flows to the cleaning tank 16 along with the water in the water inlet passage 53. In this embodiment, the pressure relief container 52 not only plays the role of pressure relief buffer water flow, but also plays the role of mixing and dissolving detergent. In addition, it is also convenient to arrange the detergent dispensing path of the detergent dispensing device 6. Specifically, due to the presence of the pressure relief container 52, the outlet of the dispensing pump 62 can be conveniently connected to the pressure relief container 52. The pressure relief container 52 has a relatively large size, which is convenient for the connection of the dispensing pump 62, and can also reduce the flow path of the detergent and reduce the flow resistance of the detergent.

[0118] For example, the water inlet valve 51 and the pressure relief container 52 are arranged at the top of the left rear side of the base 1, and the water inlet interface 51a of the water inlet valve 51 is located at the rear side of the water inlet valve 51, so as to facilitate the connection of the water pipe from the rear of the water inlet valve 51. The water inlet valve 51, the pressure relief container 52, and the detergent dispensing device 6 are arranged in sequence from the back to the front. For example, they are all arranged on the left side of the above-mentioned fan 41, so that the installation space 200a can be saved.

[0119] There is no limitation on the method of discharging the water in the cleaning tank 16. For example, the water in the cleaning tank 16 can be discharged under the action of its own gravity.

[0120] The base assembly 100 includes a drainage assembly 7, which includes a drainage channel 72 connected to the cleaning tank 16, a water storage container 73 and a drainage pump 71 arranged on the drainage channel 72 in sequence along the drainage direction. The water inlet end of the drainage channel 72 extends into the cleaning tank 16 from top to bottom, and the water in the cleaning tank 16 is sucked upward under the action of the drainage pump 71.

[0121] It should be noted that since the cleaning tank 16 itself is located relatively low and close to the ground, and the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 16 is relatively small, if a drainage pump is used directly to suck the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank, since the water inlet of the drainage pump itself has a large pipe diameter and the water inlet of the drainage pump needs to be completely covered by water in order for the drainage pump to work, the water in the cleaning tank is difficult to be pumped out smoothly at this time, and the drainage effect is poor.

[0122] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, therefore, the water in the cleaning tank 16 is pumped out by suction from bottom to top, and the water is drained by the siphon effect, which can improve the drainage effect and facilitate the discharge of water to the floor drain and other parts.

[0123] In some embodiments, the water inlet assembly 5 includes a branch passage 55 and a water inlet passage 53 for supplying water to the cleaning tank 16, and the branch passage 55 connects the water inlet passage 53 with the water storage container 73. In other words, the water inlet assembly 5 can supply water to both the cleaning tank 16 and the water storage container 73. The water storage container 73 draws water from the cleaning tank 16 under the action of the pump body and discharges the water from the pump body.

[0124] In this embodiment, the purpose of injecting water into the water storage container 73 through the water inlet component 5 includes: ensuring that there is enough water in the water storage container 73 before the drainage pump 71 is started, and when the drainage pump 71 is started, a pressure difference can be generated between the water storage container 73 and the cleaning tank 16, so that the water in the cleaning tank 16 can be extracted based on the siphon effect.

[0125] It can be understood that in the embodiment with the pressure relief container 52, the water storage container 73 is connected between the outlet of the water inlet valve 51 and the water inlet 14 of the pressure relief container 52 through the branch passage 55 to prevent the water in the pressure relief container 52 from entering the water storage container 73.

[0126] It should be noted that the timing of the water inlet assembly 5 to feed water into the water storage container 73 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, after the water inlet valve 51 is opened, the water inlet assembly 5 simultaneously supplies water to the water inlet passage 53 and the branch passage 55. At this time, the drainage pump 71 does not work. When the water level in the water storage container 73 reaches a certain height, the branch passage 55 no longer feeds water under the back pressure of the water storage container 73. For another example, in some other embodiments, a three-way valve is provided at the connection position of the branch passage 55 and the water inlet passage 53, and the flow direction of the water flow is controlled by switching the three-way valve.

[0127] Exemplarily, the drainage assembly 7 is arranged on the right rear side of the base 1, the drainage pump 71 is located on the right side of the water storage container 73, and the water outlet of the drainage pump 71 faces the rear of the base 1. In this way, the drainage pump 71 and the drainage outlet of the clothing processing machine 4000 are located on the same side of the clothing processing device, which is convenient for centralized piping and drainage.

[0128] Exemplarily, the water storage container 73 is disposed above the dust collecting port 12. In this embodiment, since the air inlet end of the dust collecting pipe 21 needs to be bent at the dust collecting port 12, and the bending part needs a larger bending radius, the water storage container 73 is arranged above the dust collecting port 12, so that the water storage container 73 does not additionally increase the size of the base 1 in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction.

[0129] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the drainage channel 72 and the drainage pipeline of the laundry processing machine 4000 can drain water independently without affecting each other.

[0130] In other embodiments, the drainage channel 72 can be connected to the drainage pipeline of the clothing processing machine 4000 through a three-way pipe, and the water is concentrated to a discharge location such as a floor drain through the drainage pipeline.
