[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0034] The various specific technical features in the various embodiments described in the specific implementation methods can be combined in various ways without contradiction. For example, different implementation methods can be formed by combining different specific technical features. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in the present invention will not be described separately.

[0035] In the following description, the terms "first\second\..." are only used to distinguish different objects, and do not mean that the objects have the same or related points. It should be understood that the directions "above", "below", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" are the directions shown in the figure, which may be the directions in normal use or not in use.

[0036] It should be noted that the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprising a ..." does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element. The term "connected" includes both direct and indirect connections unless otherwise specified.

[0037] A switching structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention can be used in a clothing processing device. The clothing processing device can be a washing and drying machine with washing and drying functions, or it can be a dryer that independently performs clothing drying functions but does not have a washing function. It should be noted that the application scenario type of the present invention does not limit the switching structure of the embodiment of the present invention. The clothing processing devices with the above-mentioned switching structure all have a working state for drying clothes and a working state for dehumidifying the environment. The working principles of the clothing processing devices in the above-mentioned two working states are explained below.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the clothes processing device includes: a barrel 4, a housing 2, a drying assembly 3, and a switching structure 1. The barrel 4 has a receiving cavity 41 for receiving clothes. Figure 1 The barrel body 4 is disposed in the shell 2, and a drying passage 33 is formed between the shell 2 and the barrel body 4, wherein the drying passage 33 and the accommodating chamber 41 can be communicated. Specifically, the front end ( Figure 1 The opening of the right end of the barrel body 4 can be connected to the drying channel 33, and the rear end of the barrel body 4 ( Figure 1The left end of the drum body 4 shown in the figure) may also be provided with a through hole to communicate with the drying channel 33. The switching structure 1 may be provided at the front end near the barrel body 4, and the state of the switching structure 1 is changed so that the drying channel 33 switches the connection relationship with the accommodating cavity 41 and the external environment, thereby changing the working state of the clothing processing device. A drying component 3 is provided in the drying channel 33 to dry the airflow. The drying component 3 may include an evaporator 31 and a condenser 32.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, when the clothing treatment device is in the working state of environmental dehumidification, the arrow direction is the air flow direction. The corresponding switching structure 1 is in the first state, the switching structure 1 cuts off the connection between the front opening of the accommodating chamber 41 and one end of the drying channel 33, and makes the external environment connected to the drying channel 33 and the front opening of the accommodating chamber 41 connected. Then, the external humid airflow passes through the switching structure 1 and enters the drying channel 33, and passes through the evaporator 31 and the condenser 32 in turn. The evaporator 31 absorbs heat to cool and dehumidify, and the condenser 32 releases heat to heat the air, so that the external humid airflow is dried after passing through the drying channel 33. Since the other end of the drying channel 33 is connected to the accommodating chamber 41 ( Figure 1 The left end of the accommodating chamber 41 is shown as being connected, then the dry airflow enters and passes through the accommodating chamber 41, and flows back to the external environment through the front opening of the accommodating chamber 41 through the switching structure 1, thereby realizing the function of dehumidifying the airflow in the external environment. When the clothing processing device is in the working state of environmental dehumidification, the airflow circulates between the inside of the housing 2 and the outside (environment), hereinafter referred to as external circulation.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, when the clothing treatment device is in the working state of clothing drying, the arrow direction is the air flow direction. The corresponding switching structure 1 is in the second state, and the switching structure 1 makes the front opening of the accommodating chamber 41 communicate with one end of the drying channel 33, and cuts off the communication relationship between the external environment and the drying channel 33 and the front opening of the accommodating chamber 41. Then, the wet clothes in the accommodating chamber 41 make the airflow in the accommodating chamber 41 a wet airflow. The wet airflow enters the drying channel 33 through the front opening of the accommodating chamber 41 through the switching structure 1, and passes through the evaporator 31 and the condenser 32 in turn. The evaporator 31 absorbs heat to cool and dehumidify, and the condenser 32 releases heat to heat the air, so that the wet airflow is dried after passing through the drying channel 33. Since the other end of the drying channel 33 is connected to the accommodating chamber 41 ( Figure 1The left end of the accommodating chamber 41 is shown as being connected, then the dry airflow enters and passes through the accommodating chamber 41, dries the wet clothes in the accommodating chamber 41, and the dry airflow becomes wet again, and then enters the drying channel 33 through the front opening of the accommodating chamber 41 through the switching structure 1, and starts the next cycle, thereby realizing the function of drying the clothes in the accommodating chamber 41. When the clothes processing device is in the clothes drying working state, the airflow circulates inside the shell 2, hereinafter referred to as the internal circulation.

[0041] The movable component 1 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the movable assembly 1 includes a body 10, a first movable plate 12, and a second movable plate 13. The body 10 has a cavity 11 inside, that is, the body 10 is a hollow component, and the cavity 11 can be connected to the external space of the body 10 so that air can enter and exit the cavity 11. Specifically, the body 10 has a first opening 111, a second opening 112, and a third opening 113 connected to the cavity 11, the first opening 111 is used to input airflow into the cavity 11, and the second opening 112 and the third opening 113 are used to output the airflow in the cavity 11 to the outside.

[0043] Wherein, when the movable component 1 is applied to a clothes processing device, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first opening 111 is an opening that is connected to the accommodating cavity 41 for accommodating clothes; the second opening 112 is an opening of the movable component 1 adjacent to the outside world, which can control the outside airflow entering the movable component and the airflow in the cavity 11 of the movable component 1 to flow out of the outside world; the third opening 113 is an opening of the movable component 1 adjacent to the drying channel 113 in the clothes processing device, which can control whether the airflow in the cavity 11 of the movable component 1 flows into the drying channel 11. Figure 1 In the first state shown, the first opening 111 is connected to the second opening 112 and the first opening 111 is not connected to the third opening 113; Figure 2 In the second state shown, the first opening 111 is not connected to the second opening 112 , and the first opening 111 is connected to the third opening 113 .

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the first movable plate 12 is arranged at the second opening 112 and can move relative to the body 10 to open and close the second opening 112. It should be noted that the first movable plate 12 being arranged at the second opening 112 does not mean that the positions of the two always coincide, but that the first movable plate 12 is always arranged in an area close to the position of the second opening 112 (for example, in an area where the distance to the second opening is less than a preset value), so that the first movable plate 12 can be arranged at a position that coincides with the second opening 112 or is very close to the gap (i.e. Figure 4 The second opening 112 is closed as shown) and a position adjacent to the second opening 112 or slightly away from the gap (i.e. Figure 3 The second opening 112 is shown as being open. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the first movable plate 12 can move relative to the body 10 to open and close the second opening 112. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the opening and closing control of the second opening 112 can also be achieved by rotating the first movable plate 12 relative to the body 10 .

[0045] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the second movable plate 13 is connected to the first movable plate 12 for synchronous movement. It should be noted that synchronous movement means that the second movable plate 13 and the first movable plate 12 move at the same time, and the movement of one of the second movable plate 13 and the first movable plate 12 will drive the movement of the other, but the synchronous movement does not require that the movement direction, movement speed and other movement parameters of the second movable plate 13 and the first movable plate 12 need to be the same, and these movement parameters can be the same or different. The following takes the synchronous translation and synchronous rotation of the second movable plate 13 and the first movable plate 12 as an example for explanation.

[0046] exist Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the second movable plate 12 and the third movable plate 13 move synchronously. Figure 6a As shown, the second movable plate 12 and the third movable plate 13 can be connected to the two ends of the connecting member 14, and the second movable plate 12 and the third movable plate 13 are respectively arranged at the second opening 112 and the third opening 113 (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 ),pass Figure 6a The second opening 112 and the third opening 113 are opened and closed by moving in the direction indicated by the arrow.

[0047] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, when the movable assembly is in the first state, the movable assembly in the first state may correspond to the clothes processing device being in the dehumidification state, the first movable plate 12 opens the second opening 112; correspondingly, the second movable plate 13 closes the third opening 113, that is, the first opening 111 cannot communicate with the third opening 113. Then, in the first state, the airflow entering the cavity 11 from the first opening 111 will flow out of the cavity 11 through the second opening 112, but cannot flow out of the cavity 11 through the third opening 113.

[0048] like Figure 4As shown, when the movable component is in the second state, the movable component in the second state may correspond to the clothes processing device being in the drying state, and when the first movable plate 12 closes the second opening 112, the second movable plate 13 opens the third opening 113. Then, in the second state, the airflow entering the cavity 11 from the first opening 111 will flow out of the cavity 11 through the third opening 113, but cannot flow out of the cavity 11 through the second opening 112.

[0049] exist Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the second movable plate 12 rotates synchronously with the third movable plate 13. Figure 6b As shown, the second movable plate 12 and the third movable plate 13 can be connected to both ends of the connecting member 14 in the length direction, and rotate around the length direction of the connecting member 14, so as to change the state of the movable component 1.

[0050] Among them, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in the first state, the first movable plate 12 is disposed at the second opening 112 and opens the second opening 112. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1 , although the second movable plate 13 is not located at the third opening 113 and closes the third opening 113, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the second movable plate 13 blocks the first opening 111 and the third opening 113, thereby blocking the communication between the first opening 111 and the third opening 113. Then, in the first state, the airflow entering the cavity 11 from the first opening 111 will flow out of the cavity 11 through the second opening 112, but cannot flow out of the cavity 11 through the third opening 113.

[0051] like Figure 8 As shown, in the second state, the first movable plate 12 is disposed at the second opening 112 and closes the second opening 112. Correspondingly, the second movable plate 13 rotates to a position where the first opening 111 is connected to the third opening 113. Then, in the second state, the airflow entering the cavity 11 from the first opening 111 will flow out of the cavity 11 through the third opening 113, but cannot flow out of the cavity 11 through the second opening 112.

[0052] The embodiment of the present invention sets a first movable plate and a second movable plate that move synchronously, and the first movable plate is set at the second opening to open and close the second opening. When the first movable plate opens the second opening, the second movable plate separates the first opening and the third opening; when the first movable plate closes the second opening, the second movable plate connects the first opening and the third opening, thereby controlling the second opening and the third opening to alternately connect with the first opening to achieve the switching of the airflow direction. The switching structure of the embodiment of the present invention is simple in structure and easy to operate. The clothing treatment device provided by the embodiment of the present invention has the above-mentioned movable component, thereby simplifying the switching operation of the clothing drying function and the environmental dehumidification function.

[0053] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the second opening 112 and the third opening 113 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the first opening 111 in the first direction L. The first direction L corresponds to Figure 3-Figure 5 The thickness direction in the middle, when the movable component 1 is applied to the clothes processing device, can correspond to the front-back direction of the movable component and the clothes processing device. Then, the directions of the second opening 112 and the third opening 113 are respectively located on both sides of the first opening 111, which makes it easy to control the second opening 112 and the third opening 113 in different states. The first direction L can also correspond to Figure 6a and Figure 6b The length direction of the connecting member 14 in the middle. Regardless of whether the first movable plate 12 and the second movable plate 13 change the state of the movable assembly 1 in a translational or rotational manner, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the second opening 112 and the third opening 113 may be disposed on both sides of the first opening 111 and spaced apart from the first opening 111 by a distance in the first direction.

[0054] like Fig. 9 As shown, the first movable panel 12 can move in the first plane S1, and the first movable panel 12 can be regarded as a two-dimensional flat plate, and the first plane S1 is the plane where the first movable panel 12 is located. The first plane S1 is perpendicular to the first direction L, and the first plane S1 intersects with the second opening 112 or the second opening is located in the first plane S1, so that the first movable panel 12 closes or opens the second opening 112. Specifically, the movement of the first movable panel 12 in the first plane S1 can be Figure 3 and Figure 4 The translation shown can also be Figure 7 and Figure 8 Rotation shown.

[0055] The embodiment of the present invention opens and closes the second opening by the movement of the second movable plate within the plane where the second opening is located, so that the second opening can be directly opened and closed, and has a simple structure, convenient operation and strong stability.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second movable plate 13 is arranged at the third opening 113. It should be noted that the second movable plate 13 being arranged at the third opening 113 does not mean that the positions of the two always coincide, but that the second movable plate 13 is always arranged in an area close to the position of the third opening 113 (for example, in an area where the distance to the third opening is less than a preset value), so that the second movable plate 13 can be arranged at a position that coincides with the third opening 113 or is very close to the gap (i.e. Figure 3 The third opening 113 is closed as shown) and a position adjacent to the third opening 113 or slightly away from the gap (i.e. Figure 4 The third opening 113 is shown as being open and switched between them.

[0057] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the second movable plate 13 moves synchronously with the first movable plate 12 to open and close the third opening 113. Figure 3 As shown, when the first movable plate 12 opens the second opening 112, the second movable plate 13 closes the third opening 113; as the first movable plate 12 moves to Figure 4 As shown, when the second opening 112 is closed, the second movable panel 13 moves along with the first movable panel 12 to open the third opening 113 .

[0058] The embodiment of the present invention directly controls the opening and closing of the third opening by arranging the second movable plate at the third opening, which is simple to control, convenient to operate and highly stable.

[0059] like Figure 6a and Fig. 9 As shown, the second movable plate 13 can move in the second plane S2, wherein the second plane S2 is perpendicular to the first direction L. Then, the first movable plate 12 and the second movable plate 13 can be synchronously moved in parallel in the first plane S1 and the second plane S2 through the connection of the connecting member 14. The translation of the first movable plate 12 can be completed manually. In order to facilitate manual operation, it can be as follows Figure 3 As shown, a protruding handle is provided on the first movable panel 12 .

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, two movable plates are respectively arranged at the two openings to control the opening and closing of the two openings. The movable plate does not need to move through the first opening to switch the opening and closing of the two openings. The control stability is strong, and one movable plate can be replaced without affecting the use of the other movable plate.

[0061] In some embodiments, Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the body 10 includes a frame 101 , a first baffle 102 , a second baffle 103 and a partition 104 .

[0062] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, a cavity 11 is formed inside the frame 101, that is, the frame 101 is a hollow structure. The specific shape of the frame 101 is not limited. Fig.10 The frame 101 shown is similar to a rectangular parallelepiped, and of course in other embodiments it can also be a polyhedron such as a triangular prism, a hexagonal prism, etc. Among them, the bottom surface and at least one side surface of the frame 101 are closed, and the lower end surface of the frame 101 in the vertical direction can be determined as the bottom surface in the normal use state, and the side surfaces on the left and right sides of the bottom surface. The first opening 111 includes at least the top surface of the frame 101, and the top surface is opposite to the bottom surface; Fig.10 One side of the frame 101 shown ( Fig.10 The right side) is closed and the other side ( Fig.10 The left side of the frame 101 is open and can be used as a part of the first opening 111. Of course, in other embodiments, both sides of the frame 101 can also be closed, so that only the top surface of the frame 101 serves as the first opening 111. The first end surface 1011 and the second end surface 1012 of the frame 101 are located on the first plane S1 and the second plane S2 respectively; the first end surface 1011 and the second end surface 1012 are located on the first plane S1 and the second plane S2 respectively; Fig.10 The front and rear ends of the frame 101 are adjacent to the top, side and bottom surfaces of the frame 101. Then, the first end surface 1011 and the second end surface 1012 are the planes on which the first movable plate 12 and the second movable plate 13 move.

[0063] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the first baffle 102 is arranged on the first plane S1 and fixedly connected to the frame 101 to close a portion of the first end surface 1011 of the frame 101, and the second opening 112 is located on the first plane S1 and adjacent to the first baffle 102. When the frame 101 is a rectangular parallelepiped, not all of the first end surface 1011 of the frame 101 is used as the second opening 112, but only a portion is used as the second opening 112, and the other portion is provided with the first baffle 102. The first baffle 102 can be regarded as a two-dimensional flat plate. During the movement of the first movable plate 12 on the first end surface 1011, the first movable plate 12 can overlap with the first baffle 102 or not overlap but be adjacent. For example, Fig.10 In the first state shown, the first movable plate 12 and the first baffle 102 overlap, and the second opening 112 is open; Fig.11 In the second state shown, the first movable plate 12 and the first baffle plate 102 do not overlap, but the first movable plate 12 closes the second opening 112 and is adjacent to the first baffle plate 102, that is, the entire first end surface 1011 is closed.

[0064] The second baffle 103 is arranged on the second plane S2 and fixedly connected to the frame 101 to close a portion of the second end surface 1012 of the frame 101. The third opening 113 is located on the second plane S2 and is adjacent to the second baffle 103. When the frame 101 is a rectangular parallelepiped, not all of the second end surface 1012 of the frame 101 is used as the third opening 113, but only a portion is used as the third opening 113, and the other portion is provided with the second baffle 103. The second baffle 103 can be regarded as a two-dimensional flat plate. During the movement of the second movable plate 13 on the second end surface 1012, the second movable plate 13 can overlap with the second baffle 103 or not overlap but be adjacent. For example, Fig.10 In the first state shown in FIG. 1 , the second movable plate 13 and the second baffle 103 do not overlap, and the second movable plate 13 can be approximately regarded as overlapping with the third opening 113, thereby closing the third opening 113. However, the entire second end surface 1012 is not completely closed in the first state. Figure 3 As shown, the second plane S2 also has a fourth opening 114 adjacent to the second baffle 103 and the third opening 113; Figure 3 As shown, the second baffle 103 closes the portion above the fourth opening 114. In the first state, when the second movable plate 13 closes the second opening 113, the fourth opening 114 is still open and can communicate with the second opening 112, so that airflow can pass through both sides of the movable component 1. Fig.11 In the second state shown, the second movable plate 13 and the second baffle plate 103 overlap, so that the third opening 113 is open.

[0065] like Fig.10 As shown, the partition 104 is disposed in the cavity 11 and connected to the second baffle 103 and the frame 101, and a second opening 112 and a fourth opening 114 are formed between the partition 104 and the bottom surface and the closed side surface of the frame 101 (see Figure 3 ) of the air inlet channel 15. Then, by setting the partition 104, Fig.10 When the second movable plate 13 closes the second opening 113, the second opening 112 is connected to the fourth opening 114. When the movable component 1 is arranged on a clothing processing device, the airflow outside the clothing processing device can enter the clothing processing device through the air inlet channel 15 in the movable component 1.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 10-11As shown, the second opening 112 includes an air inlet 1121 and an air outlet 1122 located on both sides of the partition 104. For example, when the body 10 is similar to a rectangular parallelepiped, the second opening 112 can be the left part of the first end surface 1011, and the left part is divided into an upper left part and a lower left part by the partition 104 extending from the outside to the inside, wherein the lower left part can be used as an air inlet 1121 to communicate with the fourth opening 114, and the upper left part can be used as an air outlet 1122 to communicate with the first opening 111. Then, when the movable component 1 is used for a clothes processing device, Fig.10 In the first state shown, the air inlet 1121 and the air outlet 1122 are both open, so that the airflow entering the cavity 11 from the first opening 111 flows out to the outside through the air outlet 1122, and the airflow from the outside can also enter the cavity 11 through the air inlet 1121 and enter the clothes processing device through the air inlet channel 15. Fig.11 In the second state shown, the air inlet 1121 and the air outlet 1122 are both closed, and the air flow in the clothes processing device passes through the first opening 111 and the third opening 113 and passes through the movable assembly 1 to perform internal circulation. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first movable plate 12 moves in a first plane S1 to synchronously open and close the air inlet 1121 and the air outlet 1122, thereby completing the switching between the internal circulation and the external circulation of the clothes processing device.

[0067] In some embodiments, Fig.10 As shown, a filter 16 is provided at the air inlet 1121. Thus, in the dehumidification working state of the clothing processing device, the airflow entering the clothing processing device through the movable component 1 can be filtered to reduce the pollution of dust and other impurities entering the airflow from the outside to the clothing processing device.

[0068] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the second movable plate 13 moves in a second plane S2 to switch between opening and closing the third opening 113 and the fourth opening 114. Figure 3 and Fig.10 In the first state shown, the second movable plate 13 closes the third opening 113 and thus opens the fourth opening 114; Fig.11 In the second state shown, the second movable plate 13 can move horizontally to open the third opening 113 and close the fourth opening 114. Then, the third opening 113 and the fourth opening 114 are opened alternately, and only one opening is opened at the same time, thereby completing the switching between the internal circulation and the external circulation of the laundry processing device.

[0069] In some embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the first movable plate 12 rotates in the first plane S1 to open and close the second opening 112. The first movable plate 12 can be regarded as a two-dimensional flat plate, which rotates in the plane S1 where it is located to open and close the second opening 112. Correspondingly, the second movable plate 13 is arranged in the cavity 11 and rotates synchronously with the first movable plate 12 to separate or connect the first opening 111 and the third opening 113. The rotation of the first movable plate 12 can be completed manually. In order to facilitate manual operation, it can be shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, a knob is provided on the first movable plate 12 .

[0070] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first movable plate drives the second movable plate to rotate synchronously to achieve the state change of the movable component, and the switching method is flexible and simple.

[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the body 10 includes a frame 101 , a first end wall 1013 and a second end wall 1014 .

[0072] The frame 101 has a cavity 11 formed inside, that is, the frame 101 is a hollow structure. The specific shape of the frame is not limited. Figure 7 The frame 101 shown has a shape similar to a rectangular parallelepiped, and of course in other embodiments it may be a polyhedron such as a triangular prism, a hexagonal prism, etc. Among them, the bottom surface and at least one side surface of the frame 101 are closed, and the lower end surface of the frame 101 in the vertical direction can be determined as the bottom surface in the normal use state, and the side surfaces are located on the left and right sides of the bottom surface. The first opening 111 includes at least the top surface of the frame 101, and the top surface is opposite to the bottom surface; wherein, the first opening 111 may include only the top surface of the frame 101, or may include a side surface of the top surface of the frame 101.

[0073] The first end wall 1013 is disposed between the first opening 111 and the bottom surface of the frame 101 and is fixedly connected to the frame 101. Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the first end wall 103 is the rear end in the figure, and in the normal use state, the first end wall 1013 can be located at the front end of the movable component 1 and the clothing processing device, adjacent to the external environment. Among them, the first end wall 1013 is provided with a through hole to form the second opening 112; then, the first end wall 1013 can be considered as a hollow solid component, and the hollowed-out part forms the second opening 112. Among them, the first end wall 1013 can be seen as a two-dimensional plane part, and the plane where it is located can be regarded as coplanar with the first movable plate 12, that is, located in the first plane S1, and the first movable plate 12 can rotate around the first direction (the direction perpendicular to the first plane S1) in the first plane S1 to open and close the second opening 112.

[0074] In some embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first end wall 1013 has a plurality of through holes constituting the second opening 112 and the through holes are arranged at intervals. The through holes can be arranged in a circle, such as Figure 5 As shown, the plurality of through holes constituting the second opening 112 are arranged relative to the first direction ( Figure 5 The two components are arranged symmetrically in the thickness direction (as shown).

[0075] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second end wall 1014 is disposed at the third opening 113 in the thickness direction (first direction) of the movable component 1, and the second end wall 1014 is adjacent to the third opening 113. Then, the second end wall 1014 is located at the same position as the third opening 113 in the thickness direction. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, they are both located at the front end in the figure, and in the use state, they can be located at the rear end of the movable component and the clothes processing device. In addition, the second end wall 1014 and the third opening 113 each occupy a part of the plane corresponding to the above position, that is, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second end wall 1014 and the third opening 113 each occupy a portion of the front end.

[0076] Among them, the second movable plate 13 is arranged between the first end wall 1013 and the second end wall 1014, and the opposite sides of the second movable plate 13 can contact the first end wall 1013 and the second end wall 1014 respectively. Then, with the synchronous rotation of the first movable plate 12 around the first direction, that is, the second movable plate 13 rotates around the axis of the thickness direction of the movable component 1, thereby changing the connection relationship between the first opening 111 and the third opening 113, and separating or connecting the first opening 111 and the third opening 113.

[0077] The following is an exemplary description of the working process of changing the state of the movable assembly 1 by synchronously rotating the first movable plate and the second movable plate.

[0078] like Figure 7 As shown, the frame 101 is a cuboid, for example, it can be an approximate cuboid, and the second end wall 1014 can be regarded as a two-dimensional component, which can be a triangle, and two sides of the triangle are respectively adjacent to the top surface and the side surface of the cuboid, and the third side of the triangle is located in the diagonal surface of the cuboid. That is to say, when the frame 101 is approximately a cuboid, the second end wall 1014 can be a rectangle that is half of the end surface of the closed cuboid.

[0079] Among them, Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the first movable part 12 can be a two-dimensional thin-walled part located in the same plane as the first end wall 1013. The shape and size of the first movable part 12 are the same as the second opening 112 opened in the first end wall 1013. The second movable part 13 is fixedly connected to the first movable part 12 and is arranged between the first end wall 1013 and the second end wall 1014. The symmetry axis of the second movable part 13 and the first movable part 12 is parallel to the thickness direction of the movable component 1. The second movable part 13 and the first movable part 12 rotate around the symmetry axis, so that the first movable part 12 can open and close the second opening 112, and the second movable part 13 can rotate between the diagonal surface and the non-diagonal surface of the cavity 11.

[0080] exist Figure 7 In the first state shown, the first movable plate 12 opens the second opening 112, and the second movable plate 13 is located on the diagonal surface of the cuboid, thereby separating the first opening 111 from the third opening 113. When the body 10 is a cuboid, the diagonal surface is a plane formed by the two sides that are farthest apart. Figure 7 The diagonal surface shown is the plane where the upper right side and the lower left side are located (it can be considered that Figure 7 The second movable plate 13 is located at the diagonal surface, so the airflow entering the cavity 11 from the first opening 111 cannot flow to the third opening 113. Then, in the first state, the airflow entering the movable component 1 from the first opening 111 flows out of the movable component 1 through the second opening 112; and since the lower half of the second opening 112 is connected to the third opening 113, the airflow entering the movable component 1 from the lower half of the second opening 112 can flow out of the movable component 1 through the third opening 113.

[0081] As the first movable plate 12 and the second movable plate 13 rotate synchronously around their symmetry axes (thickness direction of the movable component 1), Figure 8 In the second state shown, the first movable plate 12 can be rotated to a position closing the second opening 112, and correspondingly, the second movable plate 13 is rotated to form an acute angle α with the diagonal plane, so as to connect the first opening 111 with the third opening 113. Then, in the second state, the airflow entering the movable component 1 from the first opening 111 flows out of the movable component 1 through the third opening 113, and the second opening 112 is closed, so that no airflow can flow into or out of the movable component 1 through the second opening 112.

[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
