DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as an improper restriction on this application.

[0043] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", orientation or position relationship is based on the attached Figure 1It should be understood that these directional terms are only used to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting this application. Figure 1 For reference, the direction indicated by arrow R1 in the figure is the up-down direction.

[0044] In the description of the embodiments of this application, Figure 2 For reference, the direction indicated by arrow R2 in the figure is the front-to-back direction.

[0045] As part of the creative concept of this application, before describing the embodiments of this application, it is necessary to analyze the reasons for the accumulation of dirt under the filter device of the clothing processing equipment in the related art, and obtain the technical solution of the embodiments of this application through reasonable analysis.

[0046] In the related art, a laundry treatment device (such as a clothes dryer) typically includes a laundry treatment drum, a filter device, and a housing assembly. Airflow for treating the laundry circulates between the laundry treatment drum and the filter device to treat the laundry. Airflow flows through the laundry treatment drum to treat the laundry. The airflow flowing out of the laundry treatment drum enters the filter device. The airflow often carries a certain amount of lint, which is then filtered out by the filter device. The filter device is then cleaned with water to remove the lint attached to the filter device. The lint and wastewater used to clean the filter device are then directed through a guide surface on the housing assembly into a water storage tank within the housing assembly. Because the water storage tank in the related art is located at the end of the laundry treatment drum facing away from the filter device, the distance between the filter device and the water storage tank is relatively large. This results in the inclined guide surface, which extends roughly from the filter device to the water storage tank, having a smaller angle with the horizontal direction at the same height difference. This makes it difficult for lint and other contaminants to flow over the guide surface, causing lint and other contaminants to accumulate on the guide surface, i.e., below the filter device.

[0047] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a clothes processing device, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , Figure 12 as well as Figure 13The clothing processing device includes a housing assembly 1, a clothing processing drum 2, and a filter device 3. The housing assembly 1 is formed with a guide surface 11 and a water storage tank 12. The clothing processing drum 2 is installed on the housing assembly 1. The filter device 3 is installed on the housing assembly 1. The air flow for treating the clothing circulates between the clothing processing drum 2 and the filter device 3. The guide surface 11 is located below the filter device 3 to guide the sewage to the water storage tank 12. Along the direction of the filter device 3 pointing to the water storage tank 12, the guide surface 11 gradually tilts downward. The water storage tank 12 and the filter device 3 are located at the same end of the clothing processing drum 2. In such a structural form, since the water storage tank 12 and the filter device 3 are located at the same end of the clothing processing drum 2, the distance between the water storage tank 12 and the filter device 3 is shortened. For the guide surface 11 located below the filter device 3 to guide the sewage to the water tank 12, at the same height difference, the distance between the water tank 12 and the filter device 3 is shortened, which can increase the angle θ between the inclined guide surface 11 and the horizontal direction, which is conducive to the flow of lint and other dirt on the guide surface 11 and toward the water tank 12, thereby alleviating the accumulation of lint and other dirt below the filter device 3.

[0048] It can be understood that, along the direction from the filtering device 3 to the water storage tank 12 , the guide surface 11 gradually tilts downward, and the height of the guide surface 11 gradually decreases.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The water storage tank 12 and the filter device 3 are located at the same end of the laundry processing tub 2 along the axial direction of the laundry processing tub 2 .

[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The water storage tank 12 and the filtering device 3 are located at the front end of the clothing processing tub 2 .

[0051] In one embodiment, the clothes treating device may be a clothes dryer.

[0052] In one embodiment, airflow circulates between the laundry treatment tub 2 and the filter device 3 to treat the laundry. For example, the circulating airflow can dry the laundry.

[0053] In one embodiment, the laundry treatment tub 2 is rotatably connected to the housing assembly 1 .

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 , the clothes processing drum 2 is located above the filtering device 3 .

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 11 as well as Figure 12The clothing processing device further includes an evaporator 7 and a condenser 8. The airflow in the filter device 3 sequentially passes through the evaporator 7, the condenser 8, and the clothing processing tub 2 before returning to the filter device 3. With this structure, the airflow from the filter device 3 sequentially passes through the evaporator 7 and the condenser 8. The airflow flowing out of the condenser 8 is a hot airflow. The hot airflow from the condenser 8 enters the clothing processing tub 2 to dry the clothes. After flowing through the clothes in the clothing processing tub 2, the hot airflow exits the tub 2 and enters the filter device 3 for filtration, thereby filtering out impurities such as lint carried in the airflow.

[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 The clothes processing device further includes a water supply component 6 , which supplies water to the filter device 3 to clean the filter device 3 .

[0057] In one embodiment, the water supply component 6 is connected to an external water source, and the external water source is used to clean the filter device 3. For example, the external water source can be tap water.

[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 When the water supply component 6 is connected to an external water source, the water supply component 6 can be a water inlet valve.

[0059] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 12 and Figure 14 The clothing processing apparatus further includes a water supply filter. Condensed water generated by the evaporator 7 flows into the water tank 12. The water supply component 6 is connected to the water tank 12 and transports water from the water tank 12 to the filter device 3 for cleaning the filter device 3. The water supply filter is used to filter the water flowing from the water tank 12 to the filter device 3. Using condensed water to clean the filter device 3 reduces or eliminates the need for external water sources, effectively achieving water conservation. The water supply filter filters the water flowing from the water tank 12 to the filter device 3, preventing lint and other contaminants in the water tank 12 from being carried back into the filter device 3, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the filter device 3.

[0060] In one embodiment, the housing assembly 1 is formed with a drainage channel located below the evaporator 7 for allowing condensed water from the evaporator 7 to flow to the water storage tank 12 .

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10 When the water supply component 6 delivers the condensed water from the evaporator 7 to the filter device 3 , the water supply component 6 may be a water supply pump.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 7 to 9The water supply component 6 is located at the end of the laundry tub 2 facing away from the filter device 3. With this structure, the water supply component 6 and the drainage component 4 are located at both ends of the laundry tub 2, making full use of the space in front and behind the chassis 13 for installing the water supply component 6 and the drainage component 4, thereby improving the space utilization of the chassis 13.

[0063] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The housing assembly 1 is formed with a water storage chamber 15 which is cut off from the water storage tank 12 .

[0064] It should be noted that the water storage tank 12 and the water storage chamber 15 are cut off, which means that the water storage tank 12 and the water storage chamber 15 are not connected to each other.

[0065] In one embodiment, condensed water generated by the evaporator 7 flows into the water storage chamber 15. The water supply component 6 delivers the water in the water storage chamber 15 to the filter device 3 for cleaning. With this structure, since the condensed water flows directly into the water storage chamber 15, which is disconnected from the water storage tank 12, the water in the water storage chamber 15 is not contaminated by the sewage in the water storage tank 12. This effectively ensures the cleanliness of the condensed water collected in the water storage chamber 15 and facilitates the cleaning of the filter device 3.

[0066] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The water supply component 6 is arranged in the water storage chamber 15 to transport the water in the water storage chamber 15 to the filtering device 3.

[0067] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 13 The angle θ between the guide surface 11 and the horizontal direction is not less than 6°. With this structure, the guide surface 11 has a relatively appropriate inclination, which is conducive to the flow of lint and other dirt on the guide surface 11 and toward the water storage tank 12, and can reduce the accumulation of lint and other dirt on the guide surface 11.

[0068] In one embodiment, the angle θ between the guide surface 11 and the horizontal direction can be 6°, 10°, 16°, or 20°.

[0069] In one embodiment, the angle θ between the guide surface 11 and the horizontal direction may also be set to be less than 6° according to actual needs.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 13 as well as Figure 15The filter device 3 has a relief portion 31 on the side facing the flow guide surface 11. The relief portion 31 has a relief surface 311 on the side facing the flow guide surface 11. The relief surface 311 gradually slopes downward in the direction from the filter device 3 to the water storage tank 12 to avoid the flow guide surface 11. With this structural form, since the relief surface 311 of the relief portion 31 on the side facing the flow guide surface 11 gradually slopes downward in the direction from the filter device 3 to the water storage tank 12, the relief surface 311 of the relief portion 31 can avoid the flow guide surface 11. This not only prevents the filter device 3 from being too small as a whole, but also increases the angle θ between the flow guide surface 11 and the horizontal direction to a certain extent, which helps to facilitate the flow of impurities such as lint on the flow guide surface 11 and toward the water storage tank 12.

[0071] It can be understood that, along the direction of the filter device 3 pointing to the water tank 12, the avoidance surface 311 gradually tilts downward to avoid the guide surface 11, and the height of the avoidance surface 311 gradually decreases.

[0072] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 The filter device 3 includes a filter assembly 32, a front shell 33, and a rear shell 34. Airflow for treating clothes circulates between the clothes treatment tub 2 and the filter assembly 32. The front shell 33 is located at one end of the filter assembly 32. The rear shell 34 is located at the other end of the filter assembly 32. The front shell 33 and the rear shell 34 enclose an air intake channel 36 and a sewage discharge channel 37. Both the air intake channel 36 and the sewage discharge channel 37 are connected to the filter assembly 32. The air intake channel 36 is used to receive airflow from the clothes treatment tub 2, and the sewage discharge channel 37 is used to discharge water used to clean the filter assembly 32 to the flow guide surface 11. With such a structural form, the filter assembly 32 is arranged between the front shell 33 and the rear shell 34. The air flow flowing out of the clothing processing drum 2 can flow to the filter assembly 32 connected to the air intake channel 36 through the air intake channel 36, and the air flow flowing out of the clothing processing drum 2 is filtered by the filter assembly 32. The sewage after cleaning the filter assembly 32 can flow to the guide surface through the sewage discharge channel 37, thereby preventing sewage from accumulating between the filter assembly 32, the front shell 33 and the rear shell 34.

[0073] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 The drainage channel 37 is located below the filter assembly 32. An air intake channel 36 is provided above the filter assembly 32. This structural arrangement of the drainage channel 37 below the filter assembly 32 facilitates the drainage of wastewater under gravity. An air intake channel 36 is provided above the filter assembly to facilitate the flow of gas from the laundry tub 2 through the air intake channel 36 to the filter assembly 32.

[0074] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15Drain channel 37 is located below filter assembly 32. An air inlet channel 36 is provided on at least one side of drain channel 37 along a target direction, with the target direction being perpendicular to the water outlet direction of drain channel 37. This structural arrangement facilitates the discharge of wastewater from cleaning filter assembly 32, while the position of air inlet channel 36 facilitates the flow of air from laundry tub 2 through air inlet channel 36 to filter assembly 32.

[0075] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 The drain channel 37 is located below the filter assembly 32. An air inlet channel 36 is provided above the filter assembly 32. The drain channel 37 is provided with an air inlet channel 36 on at least one side along the target direction, and the target direction is perpendicular to the water outlet direction of the drain channel 37.

[0076] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 , the target direction is Figure 15 The direction indicated by the arrow R3.

[0077] In one embodiment, the water used to clean the filter device 3 is mainly used to clean the filter component 32. The guide surface 11 is located below the filter component 32. The water used to clean the filter component 32 and the cleaned fluff fall onto the guide surface 11 below the filter component 32.

[0078] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 Along the arrangement direction of the front shell 33 and the rear shell 34 , the guide surface 11 is located between the front shell 33 and the rear shell 34 .

[0079] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 The front shell 33 has a relief portion 31 on the side facing the guide surface 11, and the rear shell 34 has a relief portion 31 on the side facing the guide surface 11. In this structure, the front shell 33 and the rear shell 34 avoid the guide surface 11, thereby increasing the angle θ between the guide surface 11 and the horizontal direction.

[0080] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 The avoidance portion 31 of the front shell 33 is located on the side of the front shell 33 facing the rear shell 34 .

[0081] In one embodiment, the filter device 3 may not be provided with the avoidance portion 31 and the avoidance surface 311 .

[0082] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15The filter device 3 further includes a driving member 35 mounted on the front housing 33. The driving member 35 is drivably connected to the filter assembly 32 to drive the filter assembly 32 to rotate. With this structure, the filter assembly 32 is driven by the driving member 35 to rotate, so that lint and other attachments on the filter assembly 32 are separated from the filter assembly 32 by centrifugal force and water flushing, thereby achieving self-cleaning of the entire filter device 3, eliminating the need for manual cleaning of lint and other attachments on the filter assembly 3.

[0083] In one embodiment, the driving member 35 is a motor.

[0084] In one embodiment, the driving member 35 is directly mounted on the front housing 33 , or the driving member 35 is fixed to the front housing 33 via a motor mounting plate.

[0085] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 The rear shell 34 includes a housing 341, a first sealing ring 342, and a second sealing ring 343. The housing 341 is formed with an avoidance portion 31, and the first sealing ring 342 and the second sealing ring 343 are sequentially arranged between the filter assembly 32 and the housing 341 to improve the sealing effect between the housing 341 and the filter assembly 32.

[0086] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 as well as Figure 11 The outer shell assembly 1 includes a chassis 13 and a cover shell 14. The guide surface 11 and the water storage tank 12 are formed on the chassis 13, and the filter device 3 is installed on the chassis 13. The cover is provided on the chassis 13, and the clothing processing drum 2 is installed on the cover shell 14. With such a structural form, since the guide surface 11 and the water storage tank 12 are both formed on the chassis 13, the installation of the filter device 3 on the chassis 13 is conducive to more intuitively determining the position of the filter device 3 relative to the guide surface 11 during the installation process, reducing the possibility of improper installation. On the other hand, since the cover shell 14 is provided on the chassis 13, the chassis 13 and the cover shell 14 are two separate parts. When it is necessary to disassemble and assemble the filter device 3 on the chassis 13, the cover shell 14 can be removed from the chassis 13, and then the filter device 3 on the chassis 13 can be disassembled and assemble, so that the disassembly and assembly of the filter device 3 is more convenient.

[0087] In one embodiment, the laundry treatment tub 2 is rotatably connected to the cover 14 .

[0088] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 ,as well as Figures 6 to 10 The clothes processing device further comprises a drainage component 4, which is used to drain the water in the water tank 12. In this structural form, the water in the water tank 12 is drained by the drainage component 4 to avoid overflowing due to too much water in the water tank 12.

[0089] In one embodiment, the sewage discharge component 4 may be a sewage pump.

[0090] It is understandable that when the sewage discharge component 4 is far away from the water tank 12, a longer pipe is required between the sewage discharge component 4 and the water tank 12. In the process of the sewage discharge component 4 pumping water out of the water tank 12, the water in the water tank 12 needs to pass through the longer pipe between the water tank 12 and the sewage discharge component 4 to reach the sewage discharge component 4 before being discharged. The sewage flowing in the longer pipe between the water tank 12 and the sewage discharge component 4 will cause pressure loss along the way, which will reduce the sewage suction force of the sewage discharge component 4 on the water tank 12 to a certain extent. In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 13 The laundry processing apparatus further includes a mounting plate 5 covering the water tank 12, and a sewage discharge component 4 mounted on the mounting plate 5. With this structure, the distance between the sewage discharge component 4 and the water tank 12 is shorter, and the corresponding pipe is shorter, resulting in less pressure loss along the pipe, which facilitates the sewage discharge component 4 to suck out the sewage in the water tank 12.

[0091] It can be understood that the sewage discharge component 4 sucks the water in the water storage tank 12 and discharges the water from the outlet of the sewage discharge component 4. The pipe at the outlet of the sewage discharge component 4 can be tilted downward so that the water can be discharged by gravity.

[0092] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 7 The housing assembly 1 is formed with a transition duct 91. The clothing processing apparatus further includes a fan 92 disposed within the transition duct 91. The hot air flow generated after passing through the condenser 8 is driven by the fan 92 through the transition duct 91 and enters the clothing processing tub 2 to dry the clothes. After processing the clothes, the air flow from the clothing processing tub 2 passes through the filter device 3 and the evaporator 7, returns to the condenser 8, is heated again, and then, driven by the fan 92, enters the clothing processing tub 2 through the transition duct 91.

[0093] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The guide surface 11 and water storage tank 12 are both located at the bottom of the housing assembly 1, and the filter device 3 is located below the laundry tub 2. With this structure, since the filter device 3 is located below the laundry tub 2 and the guide surface 11 is below the filter device, both the guide surface 11 and the water storage tank 12 are located below the laundry tub 2. Wastewater from cleaning the filter device 3 flows downward along the guide surface 11 and is discharged into the water storage tank 12. This wastewater does not affect the laundry tub 2 or the clothes inside it, nor does it affect the laundry treatment process in the laundry tub 2.

[0094] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without causing any contradiction.

[0095] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
