[0030] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and examples thereof are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] In the related art, different types of clothes are partitioned to avoid cross-infection between different types of clothes. However, when it is necessary to dry the clothes, how the drying air flow circulates between different regions to simultaneously dry the clothes in different regions is a problem to be solved at present.

[0032] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a laundry treatment device. Multiple independent chambers are provided inside the outer tub assembly of the laundry treatment device, and the drying assembly includes a drying air duct. Each chamber is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the air inlet and the air outlet are arranged vertically and staggeredly along the height direction of the chamber where they are located; between every two adjacent chambers, a connecting air duct is provided between the air outlet of the upper chamber and the air inlet of the lower chamber to communicate the two adjacent chambers; when multiple chambers need to be dried, the drying air flow in the drying air duct flows through the multiple chambers in sequence to dry the clothes in the multiple chambers. By providing a connecting air duct between the multiple chambers of the outer tub assembly, the present invention realizes the circulation of the drying air flow between the multiple chambers. The multiple chambers share a set of drying equipment, which reduces the space occupied by the drying system while ensuring the drying effect, and at the same time reduces the production cost.

[0033] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment provides a laundry treatment device. The laundry treatment device in this embodiment can be a drying device that dries clothes alone, or a washing and drying integrated device that can both wash and dry clothes. The treatment object of the laundry treatment device in this embodiment is not limited to clothes. Home furnishings similar to the material of clothes, such as curtains, sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases, etc., and other treatment types such as fabric dolls can all be processed by the laundry treatment device in this embodiment, and this embodiment has no limitation on this.

[0034] As Figures 1-8 shown, the laundry treatment device in this embodiment includes an outer tub assembly 2, and multiple chambers 201 are provided inside the outer tub assembly 2. The multiple chambers 201 are independent of each other. When the laundry treatment device is a washing and drying integrated device, the washing water in the multiple chambers 201 will not flow into each other. This embodiment has no limitation on the number of chambers 201 inside the outer tub assembly 2, and the number of chambers 201 inside the outer tub assembly 2 can be flexibly designed by comprehensively considering aspects such as the volume of the outer tub assembly 2, user requirements, and production costs.

[0035] As Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the laundry treatment device of this embodiment further includes a drying assembly 8. The drying assembly 8 generates a drying air flow to dry the clothes in the multiple chambers 201 through the drying air flow. The drying assembly 8 includes a drying fan 81, a drying air duct 82, and a heating module 83. The drying air duct 82 is communicated with the multiple chambers 201 to convey the drying air flow into the multiple chambers 201. This embodiment does not limit the setting manner among the drying fan 81, the drying air duct 82, and the heating module 83, as long as it is ensured that the air flow generated by the drying fan 81 can enter the chamber 201 of the outer tub assembly 2 through the drying air duct 82 after being heated by the heating module 83. In one example, the heating module 83 is located between the air outlet end of the drying fan 81 and the air inlet end of the drying air duct 82. The communication between the drying air duct 82 and the multiple chambers 201 can be that the air outlet end of the drying air duct 82 is respectively communicated with the multiple chambers 201, or the multiple chambers 201 are communicated with each other, and the air outlet end of the drying fan 81 is communicated with one of the chambers 201. The humid and hot air discharged from each chamber 201 can be directly discharged to the external environment, or the drying air duct 82 can be respectively communicated with the air outlet of the multiple chambers 201, or communicated with one of the multiple chambers 201 that are communicated with each other, so as to realize the recycling of the drying air flow, improve the drying efficiency and save energy at the same time.

[0036] Each chamber 201 of this embodiment is provided with an air inlet 222 and an air outlet 211. The air inlet 222 and the air outlet 211 are arranged up and down along the height direction of the chamber 201 where they are located and are staggeredly distributed, so as to extend the flow path of the drying air flow in each chamber 201, thereby extending the drying treatment time of the drying air flow on the clothes in the chamber 201 and improving the drying efficiency. The relative positions of the air inlet 222 and the air outlet 211 of each chamber 201 are not limited. In one example, the setting position of the air inlet 222 of each chamber 201 is higher than the setting position of the air outlet 211. For example, the air inlet 222 of each chamber 201 is arranged at the upper part of the chamber 201, and the air outlet 211 is arranged at the lower part of the chamber 201, so that the drying air flow entering the chamber 201 can be dispersed into the chamber 201 from the upper part of the chamber 201, fully contact with the clothes in the chamber 201 and then penetrate into the clothes, and finally be discharged from the air outlet 211 located at the lower part of the chamber 201, thereby improving the drying effect and drying efficiency. Between every two adjacent chambers 201, a connecting air duct 231 is arranged between the air outlet 211 of the upper chamber 201 and the air inlet 222 of the lower chamber 201 to communicate the two adjacent chambers 201. The drying air duct 82 is communicated with one of the chambers 201. The drying air flow in the drying air duct 82 flows through the chamber 201 communicated with it and the connecting air duct 231 in sequence through the multiple chambers 201 to dry the clothes in the multiple chambers 201. The flow direction of the drying air flow in each chamber 201 refers to Figure 4 、Figure 6 and Figure 7 as indicated by the arrow in

[0037] When the laundry treatment device of this embodiment is a washing and drying integrated device, by reasonably setting the positions of the air outlet 211 of the upper chamber 201 and the air inlet 222 of the lower chamber 201 on the connecting air duct 231, the phenomenon of cross-flow of washing water between multiple chambers 201 can be avoided. In one example, referring to Figure 6 , the air outlet 211 of the upper chamber 201 is arranged below the connecting air duct 231, the air inlet 222 of the lower chamber 201 is arranged above the connecting air duct 231, and the setting position of the air inlet 222 of the lower chamber 201 on the connecting air duct 231 is higher than the highest washing water level of the upper chamber 201. In another example (not shown in the figure of this example), the air outlet 211 of the upper chamber 201 is arranged above the connecting air duct 231, and the setting position of the air outlet 211 of the upper chamber 201 on the connecting air duct 231 is higher than the highest washing water level of the chamber 201 where it is located, and the air inlet 222 of the lower chamber 201 is arranged below the connecting air duct 231.

[0038] In this embodiment, a connecting air duct 231 is arranged between multiple chambers 201 of the outer tub assembly to realize the circulation of the drying air flow between multiple chambers 201. Multiple chambers 201 share a set of drying equipment, which reduces the space occupied by the drying system while ensuring the drying effect, and at the same time reduces the production cost.

[0039] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , a first air inlet 293 and a first air outlet 221 are arranged on the outer tub assembly 2 of this embodiment. The first air inlet 293 is communicated with the air inlet of the chamber 201 through which the drying air flow first flows, so as to introduce the drying air flow in the drying air duct into the outer tub assembly 2. The first air outlet 221 is communicated with the air outlet of the chamber 201 through which the drying air flow finally flows, so as to discharge the humid and hot air generated by multiple chambers 201 out of the outer tub assembly 2; the first air inlet 293 is communicated with the air outlet end of the drying air duct, the first air outlet 221 is communicated with the air inlet end of the drying air duct, the first air outlet 221 is communicated with the air inlet end of the drying air duct 82, and the drying air flow in the drying air duct 82 enters the outer tub assembly 2 through the first air inlet 293 and then flows back to the drying air duct 82 through the first air outlet 221 to realize the circulation of the drying air flow.

[0040] The first air inlet 293 and the first air outlet 221 are both located at the upper part of the outer tub assembly 2, so that the drying assembly 8 can be arranged at the upper part of the outer wall of the outer tub assembly 2. On the one hand, it is convenient for the drying air flow to be evenly diffused from the outer tub assembly 2 into the outer tub assembly 2 to fully contact the clothes, improving the drying effect. At the same time, it is convenient for the humid and hot air to be quickly discharged from the outer tub assembly 2, improving the drying efficiency and avoiding... On the other hand, it avoids the damage of the washing water of the clothes treatment device with washing function to the drying assembly 8. The positions of the first air inlet 293 and the first air outlet 221 on the outer tub assembly 2 are not limited. In one example, the outer tub assembly 2 includes a top plate 29. The top plate 29 is located at the top of the outer tub assembly 2, and top plate through holes 291 are arranged at the positions corresponding to the plurality of chambers 201 on the top plate 29. The first air inlet 293 is formed on the top plate 29. An air outlet duct 224 is further arranged on the outer tub assembly 2. The air outlet duct 224 communicates the air outlet of the chamber 201 where the drying air flow finally flows through with the first air outlet 221.

[0041] In one example, the installation position of the first air inlet 293 and the installation position of the first air outlet 221 are both higher than the highest washing water level of the chamber 201 where they are located. In this embodiment, by setting the position of the first air inlet 293 higher than the highest washing water level of the chamber 201, it can be avoided that the washing water in the chamber 201 enters the drying air duct 82 from the first air inlet 293 and causes electrical damage. In this embodiment, by setting the position of the first air outlet 221 higher than the highest washing water level of the chamber 201, it can be avoided that the washing water in the chamber 201 circulates between the plurality of chambers 201 through the connecting air duct 231 and causes cross-contamination of the washing water in the plurality of chambers 201.

[0042] In one example, the installation position of the first air inlet 293 is higher than the installation position of the air inlet of the chamber 201 where the drying air flow first flows through; this facilitates the drying air flow to more smoothly enter the interiors of the chambers 201 of the drying assembly, and / or, the installation position of the first air outlet 221 is higher than the installation position of the air outlet of the chamber 201 where the drying air flow finally flows through. So that the humid air in the chamber 201 can quickly be discharged from the chamber 201 through the first air outlet 221 and enter the drying air duct 82 for circulation, improving the drying efficiency;

[0043] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment includes all the contents of the above embodiments. The difference is that the laundry treatment device of this embodiment is provided with auxiliary air ducts (not shown in the figure) at least between two adjacent connecting air ducts 231. The auxiliary air ducts can be controlled to directly connect two adjacent connecting air ducts 231, and / or provide external air flow to the connecting air ducts 231 through the auxiliary air ducts. The external air flow is an air flow with an enhanced drying effect, an air flow with a sterilizing effect, or an air flow with a fragrance-enhancing effect. The air flow with an enhanced drying effect can be a drying air flow at a higher temperature. The installation position of the auxiliary air duct can be determined according to the type of the external air flow. For example, when the external air flow is an air flow with an enhanced drying effect, the auxiliary air duct is located between the two connecting air ducts 231 at the most downstream of the drying air flow. When the external air flow is an air flow with a sterilizing effect or a fragrance-enhancing effect, the auxiliary air duct is located between the two connecting air ducts 231 at the most upstream of the drying air flow.

[0044] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment includes all the contents of the above embodiments. The difference is that, as Figures 9-10 shown, the laundry treatment device further includes an upper cover assembly. The upper cover assembly includes a cover body 24 and a flow splitting structure 26 provided on the cover body 24. The cover body 24 covers the opening of the chamber to open and close the chamber; the chamber in the outer tub assembly 2 can be one or more. When multiple chambers are provided in the outer tub assembly 2, the cover body 24 covers at least one chamber. The flow splitting structure 26 is communicated with the drying air duct 82, and the drying air flow in the drying air duct 82 is dispersed into the chamber through the flow splitting structure 26.

[0045] As Figures 9-10 shown, in this embodiment, by providing a flow splitting structure 26 on the upper cover assembly to facilitate the drying air flow to be dispersed into the chamber of the outer tub assembly 2, the drying air flow acts uniformly downward from the upper end of the outer tub assembly 2 in the chamber, so that the surface of the clothes can come into more sufficient contact with the drying air flow, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0046] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 9-10 shown, this embodiment includes all the contents of the above embodiments. The difference is that the flow splitting structure 26 of this embodiment includes a flow splitting channel 261 and a plurality of flow splitting openings 262 located on the flow splitting channel 261. The flow splitting channel 261 is communicated with the drying air duct 82, and the flow splitting channel 261 has a shape adapted to the opening of the chamber. After the drying air flow in the drying air duct 82 enters the flow splitting channel 261, it is dispersed into the chamber through the plurality of flow splitting openings 262. In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of flow splitting openings 262 on the flow splitting channel 26, the drying air flow can be dispersed into the chamber through the plurality of flow splitting openings 262, so that the drying air flow acts uniformly on the clothes in the chamber, improving the drying efficiency.

A cover body 24 is provided on the top plate 29 for opening and closing the top plate through hole 291, and the cover body 24 is detachably or rotatably provided on the top plate 29. The top plate 29 is formed with a first air inlet 293, and the air outlet end of the drying air duct 82 is connected to the first air inlet 293. The cover body 24 is formed with a connecting air duct 242. The air inlet end 241 of the connecting air duct 242 is communicated with the first air inlet 293, and the air outlet end of the connecting air duct 242 is communicated with the air inlet end of the shunt flow channel 26. When the cover body 24 covers the chamber 201, the first air inlet 293 is communicated with the connecting air duct 242, so that the drying air flow enters the shunt flow channel 26 from the first air inlet 293 and the connecting air duct 242. In this embodiment, by providing the first air inlet 293 on the top plate and connecting the air outlet end of the drying air duct 82 to the first air inlet 293, and the first air inlet 293 is correspondingly arranged with the air inlet end of the connecting air duct 242. When the cover body 24 covers the chamber 201, it indicates that the user may have a need for drying clothes at this time, and the drying air duct 82 is docked with the connecting air duct 242, and the passage between the drying air duct 82 and the connecting air duct 242 is conducted. When the cover body 24 opens the chamber 201, it indicates that the user has no need for drying clothes at this time, and the passage between the drying air duct 82 and the connecting air duct 242 is disconnected. This embodiment uses a simple structure to realize the on-off of the drying passage between the drying air duct 82 and the shunt structure 26, and this on-off method of the drying passage can better match the user's needs and improve the user experience.

In another example, a chamber is formed inside the cover body 24, and the shunt flow channel 261 is formed in the chamber inside the cover body 24. The shunt flow channel 261 is formed inside the cover body 24.

[0049] In this embodiment, there is no limitation on the shape and number of the diversion channels 261. In one example, the diversion channels 261 include one or more annular channels, and a plurality of diversion openings 262 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the annular channel. In another example, the diversion channels 261 include one or more serpentine channels, and a plurality of diversion openings 262 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the serpentine channel. In yet another example, the diversion channels 261 are in the form of a labyrinth channel, and a plurality of diversion openings 262 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the labyrinth channel. In this embodiment, the shape and number of the diversion channels 261 can be flexibly selected after comprehensive consideration of various aspects such as the drying efficiency and the setting difficulty of the diversion channels 261.

[0050] It should be noted that the diversion channels 261 in this embodiment can adopt one of the above examples, or combine multiple of the above examples to achieve different dispersion effects of the drying air flow.
