Detailed Implementation

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the detailed descriptions in the specific implementation should be understood as explanations of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as undue limitations on this application.

[0034] In the description of this application, the terms "upper" and "lower" or their orientation or positional relationship are based on the appendix. Figure 1 The orientations or positional relationships shown are intended only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0035] This application provides a garment processing device; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 It includes a housing 10, a cylindrical assembly 20, a door seal ring 30, and an airflow channel.

[0036] It should be noted that the clothing processing equipment can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer combo.

[0037] The housing 10 has an opening, and the cylindrical assembly 20 is disposed inside the housing 10. The end of the cylindrical assembly 20 near the opening is provided with a clothing inlet. The door seal ring 30 is disposed at the clothing inlet and the opening. The lower part of the door seal ring 30 is provided with at least one first interface 30a. The end of the airflow channel along the airflow direction is connected to the first interface 30a. The airflow from the airflow channel is introduced into the radial inner side of the door seal ring 30 through the first interface 30a.

[0038] In related technologies, the lower part of the door seal ring tends to be noticeably damp and wet. This dampness and water accumulation can easily lead to bacterial growth. Over time, mold and other foreign substances may develop on the door seal ring, causing problems such as foul odor and blackening. The growth of this mold can also cause users to dislike using clothing processing equipment, making them feel that their washed clothes also have mold, which has a significant negative impact on skin health and ultimately affects the user experience.

[0039] The clothing processing device of this application embodiment provides a first interface 30a at the lower part of the door seal ring 30, so that the airflow from the airflow channel is introduced into the radial inner side of the door seal ring 30 through the first interface 30a to ventilate the radial inner surface of the door seal ring 30, thereby keeping the door seal ring 30 in a dry state and improving the phenomenon of mold or other foreign substances or foul odors generated by the door seal ring 30.

[0040] It should be noted that the lower part of the door seal ring 30 refers to the part that does not exceed half the height of the door seal ring 30.

[0041] The lower part of the door seal ring 30 may be provided with one first interface 30a or multiple first interfaces 30a. The number of first interfaces 30a is not limited here, as long as the airflow from the airflow channel can be introduced into the radial inner side of the door seal ring 30 through the first interface 30a, and the door seal ring 30 can be kept in a dry state.

[0042] For example, a first interface 30a is provided in the preset range at the lower part of the door seal ring 30, wherein the central angle corresponding to the preset range does not exceed 40°, and the angle bisector of the central angle corresponding to the preset range is located in the vertical direction.

[0043] Please see Figure 4 The center of the door seal ring is O, the central angle corresponding to the preset range is α, the two sides of the corresponding central angle are OC and OD, and the angle bisector of the central angle α is OE, where OE is located in the vertical direction. It is understandable that the lower part of the door seal ring 30 will be damp and have water accumulation, and the dampness and water accumulation will be more obvious closer to the angle bisector of the preset range's central angle. Therefore, a first interface 30a is set within the preset range. The airflow from the airflow channel is introduced into the radial inner surface of the door seal ring 30 within the preset range through the first interface 30a. The airflow can directly blow towards the area with more obvious dampness and water accumulation. Thus, on the one hand, the door seal ring 30 can be dried faster, and on the other hand, the door seal ring 30 can be dried more thoroughly. This can further improve the phenomenon of mold and other foreign substances or foul odors generated by the door seal ring 30.

[0044] For example, the water accumulation area of ​​the door seal ring 30 is provided with at least one first interface 30a.

[0045] It should be noted that the water accumulation area of ​​the door seal ring 30 refers to the area where water remains on the door seal ring 30 after the washing process is completed.

[0046] A first interface 30a is provided in the water accumulation area of ​​the door seal ring 30, so that the airflow can be directly blown to the area where water remains, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the door seal ring 30, saving ventilation time, and thus saving energy.

[0047] It is understood that in other embodiments, the first interface 30a may also be located adjacent to the water accumulation area.

[0048] For example, at least one first interface 30a is provided at the lowest position of the radial inner surface of the door seal ring 30.

[0049] Understandably, the lowest point of the radial inner surface of the door seal ring 30 is the most prone to dampness and water accumulation. In other words, by setting the first interface 30a at the lowest point of the radial inner surface of the door seal ring 30, ventilation can be provided at the location where the dampness and water accumulation are most severe, which can improve the drying efficiency of the door seal ring 30 and thus save ventilation time. Furthermore, the airflow leading to the lowest point of the radial inner surface of the door seal ring 30 can be blown upwards along the radial inner surface of the door seal ring 30 more quickly to both sides, thereby drying other damp and water-accumulated areas of the door seal ring 30, further improving the drying efficiency of the door seal ring 30.

[0050] There are no restrictions on how the airflow channel is formed; several implementation methods are described below.

[0051] First Implementation Method

[0052] For example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The garment processing equipment includes a first pipe 40 and a fan 50. The air outlet of the first pipe 40 is connected to the first interface 30a. The space inside the first pipe 40 is at least part of the airflow channel. The fan 50 is located at the air inlet of the first pipe 40. The fan 50 is able to draw air from the surrounding environment into the first pipe 40.

[0053] It should be noted that the air in the surrounding environment includes: the air in the external environment outside the clothing processing equipment, and the air in the space defined by the housing 10 and the cylinder assembly 20 and in communication with the atmosphere.

[0054] Airflow flows through the first pipe 40 and is introduced into the radial inner side of the door seal ring 30 through the first interface 30a, so that the airflow blows towards the damp and water-accumulated area of ​​the door seal ring 30 to dry the door seal ring 30 and keep the door seal ring 30 in a dry state.

[0055] Understandably, since the first pipe 40 is configured with an independent door seal ring, the first pipe 40 is relatively small, which makes the structure of the first pipe 40 compact and easy to arrange.

[0056] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8By installing a fan 50 at the air inlet end of the first pipe 40, the airflow is introduced into the first pipe 40 through the action of the fan 50, thereby providing sufficient airflow to be introduced into the radial inner surface of the door seal ring 30 through the first interface 30a.

[0057] After the washing cycle of the garment processing equipment is completed, the fan 50 is started to introduce airflow into the first pipe 40, so that the airflow blows through the first interface 30a to the damp and water-accumulated area of ​​the door seal ring 30. After working for a period of time, the door seal ring 30 reaches a dry state, and the fan 50 stops working.

[0058] It is understandable that the fan is independently configured for the door seal ring 30, and the fan 50 has a small power, so the size of the fan 50 is small. This makes the fan 50 compact and easy to arrange.

[0059] For example, the upper part of the door seal ring 30 is provided with at least one second interface 30b, and the first pipe 40 has at least two air outlets, one of which is connected to the first interface 30a and the other is connected to the second interface 30b.

[0060] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 By providing a second interface 30b on the upper part of the door seal ring 30, and connecting at least one air outlet end of the first pipe 40 to the second interface 30b, part of the airflow from the airflow channel is introduced into the radial inner surface of the door seal ring 30 through the second interface 30b. At the same time, airflow is introduced into the radial inner side of the door seal ring 30 from the first interface 30a and the second interface 30b. On the one hand, it can further accelerate the drying of the damp and water-accumulated areas of the door seal ring 30. On the other hand, it can dry other areas of the door seal ring 30 with water droplets, thereby making the door seal ring 30 dry.

[0061] For example, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The garment processing equipment includes a spray valve 60 and an inlet pipe 70 connected to the outlet of the spray valve 60. The outlet of the inlet pipe 70 is connected to a first pipe 40, which can selectively guide airflow or water flow from the inlet pipe 70 to the radially inner side of a door seal ring 30. In other words, in this embodiment, water flow and airflow share a portion of the first pipe 40 and the corresponding interface. Water flow or airflow is introduced into the radially inner side of the door seal ring 30 at the same location, thus reducing the number of interfaces on the door seal ring 30. This allows for a more compact structure for the garment processing equipment.

[0062] For example, in an embodiment where the door seal ring 30 is provided with a first interface 30a and a second interface 30b, water flow can be introduced into the radial inner side of the door seal ring 30 through the first interface 30a and the second interface 30b; in an embodiment where the door seal ring 30 is only provided with a first interface 30a, water flow is introduced into the radial inner side of the door seal ring through the first interface 30a.

[0063] It should be noted that the garment handling equipment includes a door that covers the opening of the housing 10 to close or open the opening.

[0064] Taking a door seal ring 30 with a first interface 30a and a second interface 30b as an example. During normal washing in the garment processing equipment, the spray valve 60 is opened, and water flows through the inlet pipe 70 into the first pipe 40, then through the first interface 30a and the second interface 30b into the radially inner side of the door seal ring 30. This sprays and cleans the detergent foam and black substances on the door of the garment processing equipment and the door seal ring 30. After the washing program is completed, the spray valve 60 is closed. It can be understood that after the garment processing equipment is used, before air-drying the door seal ring 30, the spray valve 60 can be opened to clean the door of the garment processing equipment and the door seal ring 30 first. After closing the spray valve 60, the fan 50 is started, causing airflow to blow through the first interface 30a and the second interface 30b onto the damp or waterlogged areas of the door seal ring 30, thereby drying the door seal ring 30. The fan 50 then stops working, further improving the cleanliness of the door seal ring 30.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 1 The spray valve 60 is fixed on the housing 10 of the clothing processing equipment and is set close to the water inlet valve of the clothing processing equipment. It can be understood that the water inlet pipe 70 can also be fixed on the housing 10 of the clothing processing equipment, and the water outlet of the spray valve 60 is connected to the water inlet pipe 70.

[0066] Understandably, a portion of the water flow from the inlet pipe 70 can be directed to the radially inner surface of the door seal ring 30 through the second interface 30b, while airflow is introduced into the radially inner side of the door seal ring 30 from the first interface 30a and the second interface 30b, which can further accelerate the cleaning of the door seal ring 30 and the door body.

[0067] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first pipeline 40 includes a first connecting pipe 41, a first communicating vessel 42, a first branch pipe 43, and a second branch pipe 44. The first communicating vessel 42 is connected to the air outlet of the first connecting pipe 41, the air outlet of the first branch pipe 43 is connected to the first interface 30a, and the air inlet of the first branch pipe 43 is connected to the first communicating vessel 42. The air outlet of the second branch pipe 44 is connected to the second interface 30b, and the air inlet of the second branch pipe 44 is connected to the first communicating vessel 42.

[0068] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The first pipe 40 includes a third branch pipe 45, the clothing processing equipment includes a second connector 80, the air outlet of the third branch pipe 45 is connected to the second connector 80, the second connector 80 is connected to the air inlet of the first connecting pipe 41, and the water outlet of the water inlet pipe 70 is connected to the first connecting pipe 41 through the second connector 80.

[0069] For example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The garment processing equipment includes an air inlet valve 110, the air inlet end of the first pipeline 40 is connected to the air outlet of the air inlet valve 110, and the fan 50 is located on the air inlet side of the air inlet valve 110.

[0070] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 By connecting the air inlet valve 110 to the air inlet end of the first pipe 40, water can be prevented from flowing into the clothing processing equipment from the air inlet end of the first pipe 40 during the washing or spraying process. This prevents water from flowing into the clothing processing equipment and causing damage to the equipment. It also prevents water from contacting the fan 50 located on the air inlet side of the air inlet valve 110, thereby preventing damage to the fan 50.

[0071] Understandably, integrating the fan 50 into the air inlet valve 110 makes the garment processing equipment more compact and aesthetically pleasing.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 The air inlet valve 110 is fixed on the housing 10 of the clothing processing equipment and is located close to the water inlet valve of the clothing processing equipment. It can be understood that the first pipeline 40 can also be fixed on the housing 10 of the clothing processing equipment, and the outlet of the air inlet valve 110 is connected to the first pipeline 40.

[0073] For example, the garment handling device includes a nozzle 90, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 The nozzle 90 includes a second connecting pipe 91 and a nozzle 92 connected to one end of the second connecting pipe 91. The nozzle 92 is disposed radially inside the door seal ring 30. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The nozzle 92 forms multiple through holes 92a that communicate with the second connecting pipe 91. The other end of the second connecting pipe 91 extends out radially outward from the door seal ring 30 and is connected to the air outlet end of the first pipe 40.

[0074] Understandably, please refer to Figures 4 to 6Multiple through holes 92a are formed on the side wall of the nozzle 92, which communicate with the second connecting pipe 91. Since the through holes 92a face different directions, the airflow entering from the second connecting pipe 91 can be blown into multiple different directions at the same time through the through holes 92a, thereby improving the efficiency of drying the door seal ring 30. When spraying, the efficiency of spraying and cleaning the door seal ring 30 can be improved.

[0075] The shape of the nozzle 92 is not limited here. For example, it can be a sphere, a cube, or an ellipsoid. The shape of the nozzle 92 can be determined according to the specific structure of the door seal ring 30.

[0076] It should be noted that the airflow in the airflow channel can be heated airflow or unheated airflow at room temperature.

[0077] For example, please refer to Figure 7 The garment processing equipment includes a heating element 100, which is disposed on the airflow path of the airflow channel. The heating element 100 heats the airflow flowing through it, so that the air blown toward the radially inner side of the door seal ring 30 is hot air, and the damp and water-accumulated areas of the door seal ring 30 are dried with hot air, thereby drying the door seal ring 30 more quickly.

[0078] For example, the air outlet of the fan 50 is shrouded around the air inlet of the air inlet valve 110. In this embodiment, the heating element 100 is integrated into the air inlet valve 110, which can prevent the heating element 100 from having a thermal impact on other parts of the clothing processing equipment, and can also make the structure of the clothing processing equipment more compact and aesthetically pleasing.

[0079] The specific structure of the heating element 100 is not limited here, as long as it can heat the airflow. The heating element 100 is, for example, a heating tube or a hot wire.

[0080] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The heating element 100 is located on the air intake side of the air intake valve 110 and between the fan 50 and the air intake valve 110. This prevents water from contacting the heating element 100 through the first pipe 40, thereby preventing water from contacting the heating element 100 and causing damage to it.

[0081] For example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The back panel of the housing 10 is provided with a first through-hole, and the air inlet valve 110 is provided at the first through-hole. The fan 50 takes in air from the first through-hole and can draw air from the external environment outside the clothing processing equipment into the first pipe 40 through the first through-hole.

[0082] The back panel of the housing 10 is provided with a second through-hole, and the spray valve 60 is located at the second through-hole. The air inlet valve 110 and the spray valve 60 are arranged side by side along the left and right directions of the garment processing equipment.

[0083] By arranging the air inlet valve 110 and the spray valve 60 side by side along the left and right sides of the garment processing equipment, the airflow from the airflow channel or the water flow from the water inlet pipe 70 can share part of the first pipe 40, thereby making the structure of the garment processing equipment more compact and aesthetically pleasing.

[0084] It should be noted that the first penetration and the second penetration can be spaced apart from each other, or they can be connected to each other.

[0085] In one specific embodiment, during the normal washing process of the clothing processing equipment, the air inlet valve 110 is closed and the spray valve 60 is opened. Water flows through the water inlet pipe 70 into the first pipe 40, and then through the first interface 30a and the second interface 30b into the radial inner side of the door seal ring 30 to spray and clean the detergent foam and black substances on the door glass and the door seal ring 30 of the clothing processing equipment. After the spraying and washing program ends, the spray valve 60 is closed, the air inlet valve 110 is opened, and the fan 50 is started, so that the airflow blows through the first interface 30a and the second interface 30b to the damp and water-accumulated area of ​​the door seal ring 30. After the fan 50 starts for 20 seconds, the heating element 100 starts heating. After 5 minutes, the heating element 100 stops working. The fan 50 and the air inlet valve 110 remain open and continue to ventilate for 1 minute. Then the fan 50 and the air inlet valve 110 stop working.

[0086] For example, during the non-operation period of the garment processing equipment, the door seal ring 30 is ventilated and dried every 4 hours. This can prevent the door seal ring 30 from becoming damp again due to external humidity after drying, which could lead to the growth of mold or other foreign substances or cause foul odors.

[0087] Second Implementation Method

[0088] An exemplary garment handling device includes a drying duct, a door seal ring 30 with a drying interface, an air outlet of the drying duct connected to the drying interface, and airflow that can circulate between the drying duct and the garment handling chamber of the drum assembly 20.

[0089] The hot, dry airflow from the drying duct enters the garment processing chamber, flows over the surface of the wet garments, exchanges heat and moisture with the garments, absorbs the moisture from the garments, and becomes a humid, hot airflow. After condensation and dehumidification, the humid, hot airflow becomes a low-temperature, dry airflow, which then enters the drying duct and is heated into a hot, dry airflow. The hot, dry airflow re-enters the garment processing chamber, and this cycle repeats, achieving continuous and efficient drying of the garments.

[0090] The garment processing equipment includes a second pipeline. The air inlet of the second pipeline is connected to the drying air duct, and the air outlet of the second pipeline is connected to the first interface 30a. The second pipeline defines an airflow channel so that part of the airflow in the drying air duct enters the radial inner side of the door seal ring 30 through the second pipeline.

[0091] The drying interface is located at the upper part of the door seal ring 30. The airflow introduced into the clothing processing chamber through the drying duct can dry the water accumulated on the door seal ring 30 to a certain extent, but the effect on drying the water accumulated in the lower part of the door seal ring 30 is not obvious. For example, there may be some grooves on the door seal ring 30, and the water accumulated in these structures in the lower part of the door seal ring 30 is not easy to dry. However, by setting a second pipe connected to the drying duct, part of the airflow in the drying duct is introduced into the radial inner side of the door seal ring 30 through the first interface 30a to ventilate the water accumulation area of ​​the door seal ring 30, thereby keeping the door seal ring 30 in a dry state and preventing the growth of mold or other foreign substances or causing foul odors.

[0092] The air inlet of the second pipeline is connected to the drying air duct, and part of the airflow in the drying air duct is guided into the radial inner side of the door seal ring 30 through the first interface 30a. There is no need to configure an additional fan 50. Thus, on the one hand, the clothing processing equipment can be made compact and easy to arrange, and on the other hand, energy can be saved.

[0093] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without creating contradictions.

[0094] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application are included within the scope of protection of this application.
