Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular to a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] The air intake of traditional all-in-one washing and drying machines is that the wind passes directly through the air duct and enters the evaporator, condenser (or heating element) and other heat exchange devices. Some solutions install filters in the induced air duct. The space where the induced air duct is located is relatively small. The installation of filters is not only easy to block the induced air duct and cause the air volume to decrease, but also it is troublesome to remove the filters in the narrow induced air duct. In some solutions, the filters are set as larger filter boxes. The filter boxes occupy almost one-third of the area at the top of the all-in-one machine, and the entire drying system occupies almost the entire area of ​​the top of the all-in-one machine. At this time, if other structures need to be installed, the height of the all-in-one machine needs to be increased, and the structural integration of other structures with the drying system is more difficult.

[0045] Hereinafter, a laundry treating apparatus 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the clothing processing device 1000 includes: a housing 100, a barrel 400, a washing and filtering assembly 300, a base 310, and a drying system 200. The barrel 400 is arranged in the housing 100. The clothing processing device 1000 can also be a washer-dryer or a clothes dryer. The clothing processing device 1000 can also be other devices with washing and drying functions (such as a clothes dyeing device, etc.). Among them, the clothing processing device 1000 is dried in the barrel 400. It can be understood that when the clothing processing device 1000 is a washer-dryer, the clothes are also washed in the barrel 400. To simplify the description, the following description of the clothing processing device 1000 will take the washer-dryer as an example.

[0047] The washing filter assembly 300 includes a detergent box 320 and a filter element 240. The housing 100 is provided with a pull-out opening 104. The detergent box 320 and / or the filter element 240 are pullably engaged with the pull-out opening 104 between an extended position and a retracted position. A box seat 310 is provided between the housing 100 and the drum 400. When the detergent box 320 and / or the filter element 240 are in the retracted position, they are at least partially located within the box seat 310.

[0048] That is, there are various possible positions of the washing filter assembly 300 and the cartridge holder 310. In the retracted position, the detergent box 320 can be completely or partially located within the cartridge holder 310, and the filter element 240 can be completely or partially located within the cartridge holder 310. Furthermore, when one of the detergent box 320 and the filter element 240 is completely or partially located within the cartridge holder 310, the other can be located outside the cartridge holder 310, or completely or partially within the cartridge holder 310. There are also various possible mating relationships between the washing filter assembly 300 and the drawer opening 104. Alternatively, only the detergent box 320 can be drawn from the drawer opening 104, only the filter element 240 can be drawn from the drawer opening 104, or both the detergent box 320 and the filter element 240 can be drawn from the drawer opening 104. When the detergent box 320 and the filter 240 are both drawable at the draw-out opening 104 , the detergent box 320 and the filter 240 can be connected as one body, or even processed as one body. The detergent box 320 and the filter 240 can also be separated so that each can be pulled apart independently.

[0049] Here, the detergent box 320 is used to hold detergent, which can enter the barrel 400 along with the running water during laundry processing. The filter element 240 is used to filter impurities such as lint from the circulating air. The filter element 240 is an integral part of the air circulation of the drying system 200, reducing impurities in the air returning to the barrel 400, thereby improving the laundry cleaning effect.

[0050] The detergent box 320 and / or filter element 240 are configured to be retractable from the housing 100. When detergent needs to be replenished and / or the filter element 240 needs to be cleaned, the detergent box 320 and / or filter element 240 can be pulled out to the extended position. The cassette holder 310 is provided to support the detergent box 320 and / or filter element 240 within the housing 100. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the laundry processing device 1000 includes a water inlet (not shown) that connects to the cassette holder 310. Water flows from the cassette holder 310 into the detergent box 320, carrying away some detergent. The cassette holder 310 is provided with a water outlet pipe 330 that connects to the barrel 400. Water carrying detergent flows from the water outlet pipe 330 into the barrel 400, participating in the washing process. The principle and corresponding structure of the detergent box 320 transferring detergent along with the water into the barrel 400 are known per se and are not further elaborated or limited herein.

[0051] The drying system 200 is disposed between the housing 100 and the barrel 400. The drying system 200 includes an air duct 210, a heat exchange assembly 200A, and a fan (the fan is located within the air duct 210 and is not shown in the figure). The heat exchange assembly 200A includes a heat absorber 220, a heater 230, and a fan. The heat absorber 220, heater 230, and fan are all located within the air duct 210. The barrel 400 has a spaced-apart air inlet 401 and an air outlet 402. The ends of the air duct 210 are connected to the air inlet 401 and the air outlet 402, respectively. When the drying system 200 is in use, both ends of the duct member 210 are connected to the barrel body 400 that holds the clothes. The duct member 210 and the barrel body 400 define an air circulation path (i.e., a path from the air outlet 402 of the barrel body 400 along the duct member 210 to the air inlet 401 of the barrel body 400, and then from the barrel body 400 back to the duct member 210). Driven by the fan, air can circulate between the barrel body 400 and the duct member 210 to form a circulating air duct, thereby gradually drying the clothes in the barrel body 400.

[0052] Specifically, after the fan is activated, the duct member 210 provides a flow of dry, hot air to the barrel 400. In some embodiments, the clothing inside the barrel 400 can be continuously stirred. The hot, dry air absorbs heat from the clothing, evaporating it to form water vapor. This air, mixed with the water vapor, is then discharged from the outlet 402 of the barrel 400 and flows into the duct member 210. The humid air then flows through the heat absorbing member 220, which absorbs heat and significantly reduces the air temperature. As the air cools, the water vapor in the air condenses to form droplets or mist. The droplets or mist adhering to the surface of the heat absorbing member 220 flow downward along the heat absorbing member 220 under the influence of gravity. This cooling reduces the humidity of the air, which then flows through the heating member 230 to form dry, hot air. Afterwards, the dry hot air is sent back to the barrel body 400 to dry the clothes in the barrel body 400. The dry hot air absorbs moisture from the clothes in the barrel body 400 and turns into humid hot air. The humid hot air is blown out from the barrel body 400 again, and the cycle is repeated.

[0053] An analysis of the principles of drying system 200 reveals that the drying effect is influenced not only by the heat exchange capacity of heat absorbing element 220 and heating element 230, but also by air volume. A high air volume enhances air mobility and flow range, thereby increasing the heat exchange between clothing and air, and between air and the heat exchange components (heat absorbing element 220 and heating element 230). It also drives more hot and humid air from barrel 400 into air duct 210. Simply increasing the power of heat absorbing element 220, heating element 230, and fan to improve drying efficiency not only increases the energy consumption burden of clothing processing device 1000 but also typically requires increasing component size, resulting in a larger overall space occupied by drying system 200 and a larger size of clothing processing device 1000.

[0054] However, if the cross-sectional area of ​​the air duct 210 is simply increased and the drying system 200 is arranged arbitrarily, it will occupy too much area. If other structures are to be installed on the clothes processing device 1000, the locations where these structures can be installed are limited, and the size of the clothes processing device 1000 will also be increased.

[0055] To address the conflict between limited space within the cabinet 100 and the need to ensure adequate air volume in the drying system 200, the laundry processing device 1000 proposed in this application integrates at least a portion of the detergent box 320's holder 310 with the air duct member 210. This structural integration of the washing filter assembly 300 and the drying system 200 offers another solution.

[0056] Specifically, the washing filter assembly 300 in the laundry processing device 1000 typically requires a relatively large space. This is because, on the one hand, the detergent box 320 must hold enough detergent for multiple washes, and on the other hand, a certain amount of space must be left within the washing filter assembly 300 for water to flow through. Furthermore, since water flows through the washing filter assembly 300, the fixing structure of the box holder 310 must be relatively high to withstand the impact of long-term water flow.

[0057] When the laundry processing device 1000 is equipped with a washing filter assembly 300 and a drying system 200 at the same time, both will take up a large space, both need to withstand the impact of fluid (water, air), and both have high requirements for installation and fixation. The present application chooses to form at least a portion of the box seat 310 integrally on the air duct member 210, and structurally integrates the washing filter assembly 300 and the drying system 200, which helps to optimize the air circulation path by utilizing the integrated space. At least a portion of the box seat 310 is formed integrally on the air duct member 210, and the box seat 310 can use the air duct member 210 to increase the installation and fixing structure, and the air duct member 210 can use the box seat 310 to increase the installation and fixing structure. Compared with the individual scattered installation and fixing structures, the integrated structure is more stable, and the integrated structure has a stronger ability to withstand impact during vibration.

[0058] It's understandable that if the cassette holder 310 and the duct member 210 are installed independently, a significant clearance space would be required between them to avoid interference. However, by integrating at least a portion of the cassette holder 310 with the duct member 210, this clearance space can be eliminated. Furthermore, in some designs, the cassette holder 310 and the duct member 210 can share a common wall, allowing the saved structural space to be used for air circulation. This can facilitate designing the interior of the duct member 210 in a direction that reduces wind resistance, thereby increasing airflow.

[0059] Furthermore, since water flows through the washing and filtering assembly 300, the water absorbs heat, keeping the entire washing and filtering assembly 300 at a relatively low temperature. By integrating the washing and filtering assembly 300 with the air duct member 210, the hot and humid air can flow through the washing and filtering assembly 300 and absorb heat there before passing through the heat absorbing member 220. This allows the hot and humid air to absorb more heat, thereby producing more condensed water.

[0060] According to the laundry processing device 1000 of the present embodiment, by integrating at least a portion of the cassette holder 310 with the duct member 210, the space between the two and the space occupied by some structures can be eliminated. This increases the design space available for the air circulation path, facilitating the design of the interior of the duct member 210 in a direction that reduces wind resistance and increases air volume. Furthermore, when the air circulation path is designed to flow through the washing filter assembly 300 before flowing through the heat absorbing element 220, the washing filter assembly 300 can pre-absorb heat to enhance the condensation effect. Furthermore, the integrated structure of the washing filter assembly 300 and the drying system 200 provides greater installation stability and is more capable of withstanding vibrations.

[0061] In some embodiments, the drying system 200 is a heat pump drying system. The heat pump drying system also includes: a compressor and a throttling device (not shown), etc. The compressor, the throttling device, the heating element 230 and the heat absorption element 220 define the refrigeration cycle path of the refrigerant. The throttling device is connected between the heat absorption element 220 and the heating element 230, and the compressor is connected to the heat absorption element 220 and the heating element 230 respectively. The heat absorption element 220 is also called an evaporator in the heat pump drying system, and the heating element 230 is also called a condenser in the heat pump drying system. The throttling device can be a mechanical throttle, an electronic expansion valve or a thermal expansion valve or a throttling solenoid valve, etc., which is not limited here. In some solutions, the throttling device is a capillary tube, which facilitates the compact arrangement of the throttling device and other components of the system, reduces the occupied space, and can reduce costs.

[0062] Some solutions also include a filter drier between the evaporator and condenser. When the heat pump drying system is operating, the compressor compresses the refrigerant inside it into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. This high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant is then pumped into the heating element 230, where it releases heat and condenses into a liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant then passes through the filter drier to remove impurities and is throttled by the throttling device to become a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant. This low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant then flows into the heat absorbing element 220, where it absorbs heat and evaporates to form a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant or a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. Finally, the refrigerant in the heat absorbing element 220 flows back into the compressor for recompression, and the cycle repeats.

[0063] In some other solutions, an electric heating device is further provided at the condenser, and even the heating element 230 uses the electric heating device as the main heat source, thereby increasing the drying effect on the clothes.

[0064] In the heat pump drying system, the compressor is not located within duct member 210 due to its large size. Instead, the compressor can be located in a corner of housing 100 to fully utilize the available space. A throttling device, filter dryer, and other components can be located within or adjacent to duct member 210 to reduce the length of the refrigerant piping.

[0065] Specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 1 As shown, the heat absorbing element 220 and the heating element 230 are arranged side by side, which not only increases the flow cross-sectional area, but also allows the airflow to flow in a straight line through the heat absorbing element 220 and the heating element 230, with a shorter path, thereby reducing wind resistance and increasing air volume.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the filter element 240 is typically positioned between the air outlet 402 of the inner tub 400 and the heat exchange assembly 200A to prevent impurities from accumulating in the heat exchange assembly 200A (e.g., the heat absorber 220 and the heater 230), which could reduce heat exchange efficiency. The specific location of the filter element 240 is flexible and can be positioned near the air outlet 402 or the heat absorber 220.

[0067] In some specific embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, filter element 240 defines filter chamber 201 and is disposed within the circulating air duct formed by duct member 210. An independent space is provided within duct member 210 to house filter element 240. This allows for a more effective filter structure and helps optimize the air flow path, preventing excessive wind resistance caused by the filter element 240.

[0068] Specifically, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the detergent box 320, the filter element 240, and the heat exchange assembly 200A are arranged side by side, and the air at the air outlet 402 is discharged from the filter element 240 to the heat exchange assembly 200A. After the above components are arranged side by side, the overall thickness is relatively small. If the above components are regarded as a thin layer, the thin layer can be plugged into the side of the barrel 400 without the opening 403, for example, at the top or left and right sides of the barrel 400, and only a small gap is required between the box 100 and the barrel 400 to accommodate the thin layer. The drying system 200 and the washing filter assembly 300 designed based on the thin layer can be set to be thinner in thickness at the corresponding four components, which is conducive to reducing the size of the box 100.

[0069] Specifically, the detergent box 320, filter 240, heat absorber 220, and heater 230 are arranged side by side. This arrangement allows the space between the detergent box 320 and the heat absorber 220 to be fully utilized for installing the filter 240. After entering the filter chamber 201, the airflow bends toward the heat absorber 220 and heater 230. After entering the filter 240, the airflow generally flows in a straight line, then turns 90 degrees and flows back in a straight line toward the heat absorber 220 and heater 230. This structural layout facilitates lower air pressure at the filter 240, allowing airflow to be drawn smoothly from the barrel 400 into the filter chamber 201, thereby increasing air intake.

[0070] Furthermore, by arranging the detergent box 320, filter element 240, heat absorbing element 220, and heater 230 side by side, the air enters the filter element 240, then makes a 90-degree turn and flows straight toward the heat absorbing element 220. Placing the 90-degree turn downstream of the filter element 240 prevents the air from turning upstream of the filter element 240, facilitating air flow. The air's residence time downstream of the filter element 240 is slightly prolonged, and the reversal of airflow increases the contact area between the air and the filter element 240, thereby improving filtration effectiveness without increasing wind resistance.

[0071] Specifically, if Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the filter element 240 is arranged on the box seat 310 in a retractable manner. When it is necessary to remove impurities, the filter element 240 can be directly extracted from the box seat 310 to avoid excessive impurities and blockage of air.

[0072] Furthermore, the filter element 240 and the detergent box 320 share the drawer opening 104, and the drawer opening 320 is parallel to the drawer opening 104. This allows the filter element 240 and the detergent box 320 to be positioned closely together. When both the filter element 240 and the detergent box 320 are in the retracted position, the duct member 210 and the box holder 310 are effectively sealed, reducing the possibility of water and air leakage. Furthermore, the drawer opening 104 is parallel to the drawer opening 104, which reduces the size of the shared drawer opening 104 and prevents the structural rigidity of the housing 100 from being too low due to an overly large opening.

[0073] The filter element 240 can also be pulled out from the drawer opening 104 . When cleaning is required, the filter element 240 can be pulled out of the box body 100 from the drawer opening 104 , so that impurities can be cleaned very easily.

[0074] Of course, the solution of the present application is not limited to this. In some solutions, a portion of the box wall (such as the top wall) of the box body 100 is formed into an openable wall, and the openable wall is arranged near the drying system 200. When the openable wall is opened, the filter element 240 can be pulled out. Compared with the solution with an openable wall, it is more convenient to pull out the filter element 240 from the pull-out opening 104 for cleaning.

[0075] In some specific embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the front side of the box body 100 includes a front control panel 102, and a pull-out opening 104 is formed on the front control panel 102, that is, the detergent box 320 can be pulled out from the front side. Here, the pull-out opening 104 is set on the side of the box body 100 instead of the top to facilitate the detergent box 320 to be pulled out generally in a horizontal direction, and the top of the detergent box 320 can be formed with a feeding port 322 (such as Figure 5 The drawer opening 104 is located on the front side of the laundry processing device 1000 rather than the back or side because the front side is generally the main appearance of the laundry processing device 1000, while the back or side may need to be close to a corner or other household appliances. Therefore, it is more convenient to draw the laundry on the front side.

[0076] Specifically, if Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the box body 100 further includes a control panel cover 103 for opening and closing the drawer opening 104. The control panel cover 103 can seal the drawer opening 104, thereby improving the sealing performance on the one hand and the aesthetics on the other.

[0077] In some optional embodiments, the control panel cover 103 is rotatably connected to the front control panel 102, which can prevent the control panel cover 103 from being lost and facilitate opening and closing. In addition, the larger control panel cover 103 is easy to form a continuous design whole with the front side panel in terms of decoration.

[0078] In other optional embodiments, both the detergent box 320 and the filter 240 are connected to the control panel cover 103. This allows the user to open the detergent box 320 and filter 240 simultaneously, reminding the user to clean the filter 240. It's understandable that people tend to think more about adding detergent than cleaning impurities before washing clothes. Therefore, this arrangement allows the detergent box 320 and filter 240 to expand and contract simultaneously, serving as a reminder. Furthermore, operating the control panel cover 103 simultaneously to open both the detergent box 320 and filter 240 is very convenient, and the relatively large area of ​​the control panel cover 103 makes manually opening the control panel cover 103 even more labor-saving.

[0079] Optionally, the detergent box 320 and filter 240 are each detachably connected to the control panel cover 103. The control panel cover 103 can be removed when the detergent box 320 and filter 240 are in the retracted position. If a water or air leak occurs at the drawer opening 104, the detergent box 320 and filter 240 can be retracted and the control panel cover 103 removed to locate the leak. Furthermore, if only one of the detergent box 320 and filter 240 is to be opened or closed using the control panel cover 103, the control panel cover 103 can be detached from the other.

[0080] In some solutions, the central control panel cover 103 can also be omitted, which can save a part. In this case, the detergent box 320 and the filter 240 can be configured to be independently pulled out, and the user can only pull out one of the detergent box 320 and the filter 240 at a time.

[0081] In some embodiments, the detergent box 320 and the filter 240 are two independent parts, and the detergent box 320 and the filter 240 can be pulled out independently. Moreover, when the detergent box 320 and the filter 240 are both injection molded parts, the difficulty of injection molding the independent parts is relatively small.

[0082] In other solutions, the detergent box 320 and the filter element 240 are integrally formed, which can further integrate the structure and reduce the wall space. In addition, the detergent box 320 and the filter element 240 can be seamlessly connected without any gaps, so the detergent box 320 and the filter element 240 are not loose and the chance of air leakage is small.

[0083] In some specific embodiments, Figure 6 and Figure 3 As shown, the filter element 240 is long and narrow, and one end of the filter element 240 in the length direction is connected to the air outlet 402. The detergent box 320 and the heat exchange component 200A are located on both sides of the filter element 240 in the width direction, and one side of the filter element 240 in the width direction discharges air toward the heat exchange component 200A.

[0084] by Figure 3 For example, when the detergent box 320, filter 240, heat absorbing element 220, and heater 230 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, the left-right direction also corresponds to the width of the filter 240, and the front-to-back direction corresponds to the length of the filter 240. The filter 240 is formed into an elongated structure, which does not occupy the width of the detergent box 320, heat absorbing element 220, and heater 230. This ensures that the required installation space for the detergent box 320, heat absorbing element 220, and heater 230 is maintained.

[0085] The elongated filter element 240 provides a buffer space for the airflow after it enters the air duct element 210 from the barrel body 400. It is understandable that the air outlet 402 on the barrel body 400 is usually set to be relatively small, while the cross-sectional flow area of ​​the cooling chamber 202 and the heating chamber 203 is relatively large. The elongated filter element 240 buffers the air that rapidly flows in from the air outlet 402, adjusts the wind pressure throughout the filter element 240, and achieves a balanced wind pressure within the filter element 240. When the air in the filter element 240 flows through the cooling chamber 202 with a larger cross-sectional area, the air can be more evenly dispersed throughout the cooling chamber 202, and the air flow rate throughout the cooling chamber 202 is also more balanced, so that the hot and humid air can be more evenly absorbed.

[0086] In addition, the filter element 240 is long and is arranged on one side of the detergent box 320. After the hot and humid air enters the filter element 240 along the length direction, the air flows through the filter element 240 for a long time, which is not only beneficial to the contact between the air and the filter element 240, but also beneficial to the air dissipating heat to the adjacent washing filter assembly 300.

[0087] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, filter element 240 includes a filter box 241 for containing or supporting a filter unit. The type of filter unit is not limited. For example, filter units include, but are not limited to, filter screens and honeycombs. In some embodiments, the filter unit is a rotating mesh rotatably disposed within filter box 241. The rotating mesh rotates when airflow flows, allowing more fibers in the airflow to become entangled with the rotating mesh.

[0088] In some specific embodiments, the filter unit is a filter (not shown). The filter is not only low-cost, but also has a strong filtering ability for lint and is not easily clogged by lint. It also has low wind resistance and is easier to clean impurities. In addition, for the clothing processing device 1000, the content of lint impurities is high, so the use of a filter is more practical.

[0089] Specifically, the filter is detachably mounted on the filter box 241, making it easy to remove and clean the filter. In some embodiments, the laundry processing device 1000 is equipped with multiple filters, allowing replacement of one filter when damaged. In other embodiments, the filter is durable and resistant to damage, so it can be fixed to the filter box 241 to prevent it from loosening during windy conditions.

[0090] Furthermore, if Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, the detergent box 320 is generally a rectangular box, and a feeding port 322 is provided at the top of the detergent box 320. The filter box 241 is generally a rectangular box, and a cleaning port 2419 may be provided at the top of the filter box 241. The bottom wall of the filter box 241 is a filter bottom plate 2411. When the filter box 241 is pulled out, the filter bottom plate 2411 can hold most impurities, and the user can remove the impurities from the cleaning port 2419.

[0091] Specifically, the filter box 241 forms an air inlet 2417 at one end in the length direction, and forms an air outlet 2418 on one side in the width direction. The air inlet 2417 is connected to the air outlet 402 of the barrel body 400, and the air outlet 2418 is set toward the heat absorption component 220.

[0092] Optionally, the filter box 241 further comprises a filter side panel 2412 and at least one support frame 2414. The filter side panels 2412 and the support frame 2414 are positioned on either side of the filter element 240 in the width direction. The filter bottom plate 2411 is disposed along the length of the filter element 240 and is connected to the filter side panels 2412 and the support frame 2414. The filter side panel 2412 is positioned on the side of the filter box 241 adjacent to the detergent box 320, and the support frame 2414 is positioned on the side of the filter box 241 adjacent to the heat absorbing element 220. Thus, the support frame 2414 is provided with an air outlet 2418, through which airflow within the filter element 240 flows to the heat absorbing element 220.

[0093] The support frame 2414 is used to support the filter. The filter is set here, that is, the filter is clamped at the downstream of the filter element 240. All air flows through the filter and then flows to the heat absorber 220. The setting of the filter also helps condensed water droplets to hang on the net, which can absorb impurities in the air.

[0094] When a plurality of support frames 2414 are provided on the filter box 241 , the support frames 2414 at other positions can be flexibly arranged. For example, the other support frames 2414 can be arranged along the width direction, so as to intercept the airflow.

[0095] exist Figure 6 In the example shown in FIG, the filter box 241 has two support frames 2414. Both support frames 2414 are arranged along the length of the filter element 240. After the two support frames 2414 support the filter screens, both filter screens extend along the length of the filter element. One support frame 2414 forms a side wall of the filter box 241, and the other support frame 2414 is located in the middle.

[0096] The central support frame 2414 is arranged along the length of the filter element 240, aligned with the direction of the airflow flowing in from the air inlet 2417. This minimizes wind resistance as the airflow flows into the filter box 241, allowing the airflow to fully self-regulate within the filter box 241. When the airflow reaches the other end of the filter box 241, it strikes a wall and turns, flowing toward the air outlet 2418.

[0097] Optionally, an air inlet 2417 is located between the filter side panel 2412 and the middle support frame 2414, and an air inlet 2417 is located between the two support frames 2414. Both support frames 2414 support filters. When air flows in through the air inlet 2417, the middle support frame 2414 helps split the airflow into two streams, reducing airflow disturbance. Both airflows ultimately flow out through the air outlet 2418, with one stream passing through two filters.

[0098] In some alternative embodiments, the two support frames 2414 are connected to side panels (not shown) at one end adjacent to the air inlet 2417. Specifically, the air inlet 2417 is located between the filter side panel 2412 and the middle support frame 2414, and the space between the two support frames 2414 is sealed by the side panels. After airflow enters the space between the filter side panel 2412 and the middle support frame 2414 from the air inlet 2417, it turns and passes through the two layers of filter screens, flowing from the air outlet 2418 toward the heat absorber 220. The provision of the side panels ensures that airflow flows only from between the filter side panel 2412 and the middle support frame 2414, and that airflow must pass through both layers of filter screens, thereby improving filtering effectiveness.

[0099] It should be noted that, since the airflow is a fluid, the above description of the flow direction of the airflow describes the overall flow direction of the airflow, rather than restricting each gas molecule to flow along the above path.

[0100] Furthermore, the filter can be detachably arranged on the support frame 2414 , which makes it easy to clean the filter and to change the position of the filter between different support frames 2414 .

[0101] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the filter box 241 further includes a filter guide 2413, which is located at the end of the filter base 2411 away from the air outlet 402. That is, the filter guide 2413 is arranged opposite the air inlet 2417. When air flows in from the air inlet 2417, it rushes towards the filter guide 2413 and turns. The provision of the filter guide 2413 helps to make the airflow turn more smoothly, shorten the time the air stays there, and reduce the wind pressure at this location.

[0102] Specifically, the filter guide 2413 can be a curved plate, which provides a buffering and guiding effect on the airflow as it flows along the curved plate, thereby directing the airflow toward the heat sink 220. In this embodiment, the filter guide 2413 can also be an inclined plate, which also serves a guiding function. More specifically, in the direction toward the air outlet 2418, the filter guide 2413 extends in a direction gradually away from the air inlet 2417. That is, the closer the filter guide 2413 is to the air outlet 2418, the farther it is from the air inlet 2417.

[0103] Optionally, the filter guide plate 2413 is connected to the filter side plate 2412 and the support frame 2414 respectively, so that the filter guide plate 2413 can cover the entire width of the filter box 241, which is conducive to reducing eddy currents.

[0104] In some specific embodiments, the filter element 240 further includes a cleaning cover (not shown) connected to the filter box 241 , which covers the cleaning port 2419 of the filter box 241 , thereby limiting the airflow from flowing out of the filter box 241 from the air outlet 2418 .

[0105] Optionally, the cleaning cover can be rotatably connected to the filter box 241 to avoid loss of the cleaning cover.

[0106] Further optionally, as Figure 6 As shown, the filter box 241 further includes an end plate 2416, which connects the filter bottom plate 2411, the filter side plates 2412, and the outermost support frame 2414. The end plate 2416 is located on the side of the filter guide plate 2413 away from the air inlet 2417. The provision of the end plate 2416 forms the filter box 241 as a whole into a regular rectangular box body, which facilitates sealed installation.

[0107] Advantageously, the filter box 241 further includes a pull block 24162 provided on the end plate 2416, which facilitates the user to extract the filter box 241 through the pull block 24162. In some solutions, the pull block 24162 can be used to position the filter box 241 with the heat exchange seat 211.

[0108] Optionally, the rotating shaft of the cleaning cover is installed on the filter side plate 2412 and the outermost support frame 2414, and is located between the filter guide plate 2413 and the end plate 2416. This is conducive to the rotating shaft being built into the filter box 241 to avoid interference with the detergent box 320 when pulling.

[0109] In some embodiments, as Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the duct member 210 includes a heat exchange base 211 and a heat exchange cover 212. The heat exchange cover 212 covers the top of the heat exchange base 211. The heat exchange base 211 and the heat exchange cover 212 define a cooling chamber 202 and a heating chamber 203. The filter chamber 201, the cooling chamber 202, and the heating chamber 203 are arranged in sequence along the direction of airflow within the drying system 200. The heat exchange assembly 200A is located within the cooling chamber 202 and the heating chamber 203. Specifically, the heat absorbing element 220 is located within the cooling chamber 202, and the heating element 230 is located within the heating chamber 203.

[0110] The heat exchange base 211 and heat exchange cover 212 form the main body of the duct member 210, used to support and mount the filter element 240, heat absorber 220, and heater 230. The heat exchange base 211 and heat exchange cover 212 are configured as two separate parts for easier assembly, installation, and sealing. Optionally, the heat exchange base 211 and heat exchange cover 212 are connected by screws, which facilitates assembly and disassembly while ensuring a tight connection. In some embodiments, a sealing ring (not shown) is provided between the heat exchange base 211 and heat exchange cover 212.

[0111] Specifically, the box seat 310 includes: an upper box seat 312 and a lower box seat 311 , the upper box seat 312 covers the top of the lower box seat 311 , the lower box seat 311 is integrally formed on the heat exchange seat 211 , and the upper box seat 312 is integrally formed on the heat exchange cover 212 .

[0112] The lower box seat 311 and the heat exchange seat 211 are an integrated structure, and the upper box seat 312 and the heat exchange cover 212 are an integrated structure, which can not only improve the sealing performance and reduce the possibility of air leakage, but also reduce the number of parts.

[0113] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the box seat 310 has a first inclined wall 301, and the bottom of the heat exchange seat 211 has a second inclined wall 2113. The first inclined wall 301 and the second inclined wall 2113 extend toward each other in a downward direction and are connected. The detergent box 320 is located above the first inclined wall 301, and the filter element 240 is located above the second inclined wall 2113. A water outlet pipe 330 connected to the barrel body 400 is provided on the first inclined wall 301.

[0114] In this way, the cartridge seat 310 and the heat exchange seat 211 can form a V-shaped bottom wall, which not only improves the structural rigidity, but also helps to collect water flow, which is discharged from the outlet pipe 330. In this way, when condensed water forms on the filter element 240, the condensed water can also be collected on the V-shaped bottom wall, preventing stagnant water stains and bacterial growth.

[0115] The water outlet pipe 330 is arranged on the first inclined wall 301 and is located on the side of the box seat 310 away from the drying system 200. In this way, when the water outlet pipe 330 is connected to the barrel body 400, it can avoid excessive interference with the drying system 200. Figure 3 The middle water outlet pipe 330 is located on the left side of the bottom of the box seat 310. A connecting pipe is provided on the left side of the barrel body 400. The water outlet pipe 330 is connected to the connecting pipe through a hose. In this way, the hose is short and can play a buffering role.

[0116] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the detergent box 320 is provided with a first guide surface 321 that contacts the first sloping wall 301, and the bottom of the filter element 240 is provided with a second guide surface (not shown) that contacts the second sloping wall 2113. The sides of the detergent box 320 and the filter element 240 that face each other are in contact. The first sloping wall 301 and the second sloping wall 2113 on either side thus press the detergent box 320 and the filter element 241 toward each other, centering and positioning the detergent box 320 and the filter element 241. The use of the first and second guide surfaces for guidance facilitates smooth extraction and movement of the detergent box 320 and the filter element 240.

[0117] In addition, when the detergent box 320 and the filter box 241 are two independent parts, the squeezing of the first inclined wall 301 and the second inclined wall 2113 makes the gap between the detergent box 320 and the filter box 241 smaller, thereby reducing air leakage.

[0118] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air duct member 210 further includes an air inlet duct 215 and an air supply duct 216. The air inlet duct 215 is connected to the air outlet 402, and the air supply duct 216 is connected to the air inlet 401. The air flow introduced by the air inlet duct 215 is blown into the filter chamber 201, then passes through the refrigeration chamber 202 and the heating chamber 203, and is then sent back to the barrel body 400 through the air supply duct 216. Since the connection portion with the barrel body 400 needs to be bent significantly and needs to match the positions of the air inlet 401 and the air outlet 402 on the barrel body 400, the air inlet duct 215 and the air supply duct 216 are processed separately from the heat exchange seat 211 and the heat exchange cover 212. This not only facilitates the molding of the air inlet duct 215 and the air supply duct 216, but also facilitates sealing.

[0119] Specifically, the end of the air duct 215 connected to the air outlet 402 is a round end, and the end of the air duct 215 connected to the filter element 240 is a square end, so that both ends can be easily sealed and connected.

[0120] Optionally, the cross-sectional area of ​​one end of the air duct 215 connected to the filter element 240 is gradually increased, so that the air flow is dispersed and flows evenly toward the filter element 240 .

[0121] A fan is provided in the air supply pipe 216 , so the shape of the air supply pipe 216 matches the shape of the fan and the air supply path.

[0122] In some embodiments, as Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the barrel body 400 is a round barrel with the opening 403 set forward, the washing and filtering assembly 300 and the drying system 200 are both located above the barrel body 400, the heat exchange assembly 200A is set near the vertical center plane of the barrel body 400, and the fan and the washing and filtering assembly 300 are located on both sides of the barrel body 400 in the width direction.

[0123] Specifically, the heat absorbing element 220 and the heating element 230 are arranged near the vertical center plane of the barrel body 400, and the fan and the washing filter assembly 300 are located on both sides of the barrel body 400 in the width direction. The fan is located on the side of the heating element 230 away from the heat absorbing element 220. Here, the vertical center plane of the barrel body 400 refers to the vertical plane passing through the central axis of the barrel body 400.

[0124] It is understood that when the barrel body 400 is a round barrel with the opening 403 facing forward, the barrel body 400 is highest at its vertical center plane, and the height of the barrel body 400 gradually decreases as it moves to the left and right. Since the heat absorbing element 220 and the heating element 230 are relatively flexible in structure and can be configured in a flat shape, the heat absorbing element 220 and the heating element 230 can be positioned near the vertical center plane of the barrel body 400, while the fan and the washing and filtering assembly 300, two larger components, are positioned on either side of the barrel body 400. This fully utilizes the space above the barrel body 400, allowing the washing and filtering assembly 300 and the drying system 200 to be accommodated without requiring the overall size of the housing 100 to be small.

[0125] Specifically, the detergent box 320, filter 240, heat absorbing element 220, heating element 230, and fan are arranged horizontally from left to right. The detergent box 320 and filter 240 that need to be pulled out are located on the far left. As the pull-out opening 104 is not required on the right side, the right half of the front side of the cabinet 100 can be used to accommodate a control panel, display screen, etc. This left-right distribution can fully utilize the area on the front side of the cabinet 100 and above the barrel 400.

[0126] Furthermore, the fan is a centrifugal fan and is arranged in the air supply pipe 216. The fan is a centrifugal fan. By utilizing the characteristic of the centrifugal fan that changes the wind direction by 90 degrees, the airflow in the air duct member 210 can be greatly diverted and the wind resistance can be reduced.

[0127] Optionally, the axis of the centrifugal fan is arranged along the arrangement direction of the filter element 240 and the heat exchange component 200A, such as Figure 3 The axis of the centrifugal fan is arranged along the left-right direction. It is understandable that the diameter of the centrifugal fan is usually larger, that is, the spokes of the centrifugal fan are larger, and the centrifugal fan is located at the larger gap between the barrel 400 and the box body 100.

[0128] In some embodiments, as Figure 3As shown, the air inlet 401 is located near the opening 403. The air flow introduced by the air supply pipe 216 from the air inlet 401 flows into the barrel body 400 near the opening 403. The air outlet 402 is located near the rear end of the barrel body 400 and faces upward. The air duct 215 draws air from the rear end of the barrel body 400. This allows the air to fully contact the clothes in the barrel body 400, thereby removing more moisture from the clothes and speeding up the drying process.

[0129] Specifically, the air duct 215 first extends upward from the air outlet 402 and then bends and extends forward. The air duct 215 is short, and the air can flow quickly through the air duct 215 and enter the filter chamber 201, thereby reducing the residence time of the air in the air duct 215 and reducing the deposition of impurities and water droplets in the air duct 215.

[0130] Reference below Figures 1-6 , describing the structure of a clothes treating apparatus 1000 in a specific embodiment.

[0131] The housing 100 has a front wall 101, a rear wall, a top wall, a bottom wall, a left wall, and a right wall. The barrel 400 is disposed within the housing 100. The opening 403 of the barrel 400 faces the front wall 101 of the housing 100, and the rear side of the barrel 400 faces the rear wall of the housing 100. The barrel 400 has an air inlet 401 and an air outlet 402 spaced apart from each other. More specifically, the barrel 400 is provided with a drum in which clothes are washed and dried.

[0132] A drying system 200 and a washing filter assembly 300 are provided between the box body 100 and the barrel body 400. The drying system 200 includes an air duct member 210, a filter member 240, a heat absorbing member 220, a heating member 230, and a fan, and the washing filter assembly 300 includes a box seat 310 and a detergent box 320.

[0133] The air duct component 210 includes a heat exchanger seat 211, a heat exchanger cover 212, an air duct 215, and an air supply duct 216. These four parts are independently machined. The heat exchanger cover 212 covers the top of the heat exchanger seat 211, the air duct 215 is connected to one end of the heat exchanger seat 211, and the air supply duct 216 is connected to the other end of the heat exchanger seat 211. The box seat 310 includes an upper box seat 312 and a lower box seat 311. The upper box seat 312 is integrally formed with the heat exchanger cover 212, and the lower box seat 311 is integrally formed with the heat exchanger seat 211.

[0134] The detergent box 320, the filter element 240, the heat absorbing element 220, the heating element 230, and the fan are arranged side by side in the left and right directions. The air duct 215 is located behind the filter element 240. The air duct 215 draws air from the bottom and guides the air forward to the filter element 240. The air flows from the filter element 240 in a straight line to the heat absorbing element 220 and the heating element 230, and is finally blown from the centrifugal fan to the barrel body 400.

[0135] A shock absorber is also assembled and connected to the outside of the barrel body 400.
