[0065] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the application. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0066] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0067] This application provides a garment processing device 100. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the clothing processing device 100 provided in this application.

[0068] Combination Figure 1 The garment processing equipment 100 includes a housing 10, which forms the outer shell of the garment processing equipment 10 to house and protect the components installed inside the housing 10.

[0069] Specifically, the housing 10 may include a base 11, side walls 12, and a top wall 13. The side walls 12 surround the base 11, and the top wall 13 covers the side walls 12, thus forming a storage space for housing the internal components of the clothing processing equipment 100. It should be understood that... Figure 1 The side wall 12 of the cabinet located at the front of the garment processing device 10 and the door used to close the front opening are not shown.

[0070] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the clothing processing equipment 100 after removing part of the box 10. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the cylindrical assembly 20 in the structure shown. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The diagram shows the structure of the cylindrical assembly 20 from another perspective. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The cross-sectional view of the cylindrical assembly 20 shown along section line AA.

[0071] Combination Figures 2-5 The garment processing equipment 100 includes a cylindrical assembly 20, which is disposed inside the housing 10. The cylindrical assembly 20 forms a garment receiving cavity 21, which is provided with an air outlet 211 and an air inlet 212.

[0072] Specifically, the tubing assembly 20 may include an outer tubing 22 and an inner tubing 23. The outer tubing 22 is disposed inside the housing 10, and the inner tubing 23 is disposed inside the outer tubing 22. The inner tubing 23 can rotate relative to the outer tubing 22. The inner tubing 23 forms a clothing receiving cavity 21. When clothes are placed in the clothing receiving cavity 21 for washing, the inner tubing 23 rotates relative to the outer tubing 22, thereby causing the clothes to rotate and tumble for care.

[0073] The inner cylinder 23 may have multiple spaced-apart connecting holes 231 on its side wall, allowing the clothing receiving cavity 21 inside the inner cylinder 23 to connect with the space between the inner and outer cylinders through the connecting holes 231. An air outlet 211 may be located on the rear side of the cylinder assembly 20 and connected to the outer cylinder 22, while an air inlet 212 may be located on the front side of the cylinder assembly 20 and connected to the inner cylinder 23. In this case, the front side of the cylinder assembly 20 is the side where the user operates the clothing processing equipment.

[0074] Figure 6 yes Figure 2 The exploded view of the structure. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 The diagram shows a top view of the structure after removing the top wall 13 of the housing. Figure 8 yes Figure 7 The structure shown is a cross-sectional view along section line BB.

[0075] Combination Figures 6-8 The garment processing equipment 100 includes a drying duct 30, which is located above the drum assembly 20. One end of the drying duct 30 is connected to an air outlet 211, and the other end is connected to an air inlet 212. Figure 8 The dashed arrows in the diagram indicate the airflow direction inside the drying duct 30.

[0076] Specifically, the drying air duct 30 introduces air from the clothing storage cavity 21 through the air outlet 211, and dehumidifies and heats the air introduced into it to form hot air. The hot air is then introduced into the clothing storage cavity 21 through the air inlet 212 to dry the clothes in the clothing storage cavity 21.

[0077] More specifically, the top of the drying duct 30 may be provided with an upper cover plate 31, which constitutes part of the drying duct 30 and covers other structures of the drying duct 30, thereby forming the top wall of the drying duct 30.

[0078] Figure 9 yes Figure 7 The diagram shows the structure after removing the top cover plate 31. Figure 10 yes Figure 9 The diagram shown is a structural schematic from its rear view.

[0079] Combination Figure 9 as well as Figure 10 The garment processing equipment 100 also includes a heat pump system 40, which is installed in the drying air duct 30. The heat pump system 40 is used to dehumidify and heat the air in the garment receiving cavity 21 to form hot air.

[0080] Specifically, the heat pump system 40 includes an evaporator 41 and a condenser 42, both of which are disposed within the drying air duct 30 and arranged sequentially along the airflow direction S of the drying air duct 30. The evaporator 41 is used to condense moisture in the air exiting the air outlet 211, and the condenser 42 is used to heat the air condensed by the evaporator 41, and then introduces the heated air into the clothing receiving cavity 21 to dry the clothes inside.

[0081] Combination Figure 9 as well as Figure 10 The drying air duct 30 includes a first air guide duct 32 and a second air guide duct 33. The first air guide duct 32 and the second air guide duct 33 are located at both ends of the drying air duct 30, and the first air guide duct 32 is connected to the air inlet 212 so that the hot air in the drying air duct 30 is introduced into the clothing receiving cavity 21 through the first air guide duct 32. The second air guide duct 33 is connected to the air outlet 211 so that the humid air in the clothing receiving cavity 21 enters the drying air duct 30 through the second air guide duct 33.

[0082] It should be understood that the garment processing equipment 100 provided in this application can be a dryer, used solely for drying garments. The garment processing equipment 100 can also be a washer-dryer combo, in which case it can both wash and dry garments, either washing or drying them separately. Since the system that enables the drying function of the garment processing equipment 100 is a heat pump system, the garment processing equipment is either a heat pump dryer or a heat pump washer-dryer combo.

[0083] Figure 11 yes Figure 8 An exploded view of the top portion of the structure shown. Figure 12 yes Figure 11 The diagram shows the structure after removing the top cover plate 31. Figure 13 yes Figure 12 The diagram shown is a structural schematic from a bottom view. Figure 14 yes Figure 12 An exploded view of the structure shown. Figure 15 yes Figure 12 An exploded view of another structure shown.

[0084] Combination Figures 11-15The garment processing equipment 100 also includes a filter device 50, which is located inside the drying air duct 30. The filter device 50 is used to filter lint from the air discharged from the air outlet 211. The filter device 50 is located on the side of the evaporator 41 near the air outlet 211, specifically between the first air duct 32 and the evaporator 41.

[0085] Specifically, the filter device 50 can be located partially or entirely inside the drying air duct 30, without any specific limitation. When the filter device 50 is partially located inside the drying air duct 30, the portion of the filter device 50 inside the drying air duct 30 serves as a filter, while the portion outside the drying air duct 30 is used for user access.

[0086] It should be understood that the filter device 50 is located between the air outlet 211 and the evaporator 41. The air exiting the air outlet 211 is filtered by the filter device 50 before being introduced to the evaporator 41. Therefore, even if lint in the clothing compartment 21 is exited from the air outlet 211, it will be filtered out by the lint filter device 50 before entering the evaporator 41, thus preventing lint from entering the evaporator 41 and condenser 42 and affecting the normal operation of the heat pump system 40.

[0087] Figure 16 yes Figure 15 A schematic diagram of a portion of the structure shown. Figure 17 yes Figure 16 A magnified schematic diagram of the structure of region A in the middle.

[0088] Combination Figures 14-17 In some specific embodiments, the drying air duct 30 is provided with a long strip-shaped mounting groove 34, and the side wall of the drying air duct 30 is provided with an opening 341 that connects to the mounting groove 34. The filter device 50 extends in a long strip shape and is removably installed in the mounting groove 34.

[0089] Specifically, the mounting groove 34 extends along the width direction of the drying air duct 30, and the length direction of the mounting groove 34 is consistent with the width direction of the drying air duct 30. The height of the mounting groove 34 can be set to be relatively low, thereby avoiding occupying too much space in the drying air duct 30 and affecting airflow. The width of the mounting groove 34 can match the width of the bottom of the filter device 50, so that the filter device 50 can be engaged in the mounting groove 34 and be well fixed.

[0090] The mounting slot 34 extends from one side wall of the drying duct 30 to the opposite side wall, thus dividing the drying duct 30 into two parts arranged along its airflow direction. When the filter device 50 is installed in the mounting slot 34, the filter device 50 divides the drying duct 30 into two parts. Air from the part of the drying duct 30 located on one side of the filter device 50 needs to pass through the filter device 50 before being introduced into the part of the drying duct 30 located on the other side of the filter device, thereby enabling the filter device 50 to fully filter the air that is about to enter the heat pump system 40.

[0091] The opening 341 may be perforated and have a certain depth to connect with the mounting groove 34, so that the filter device 50 can be installed into the mounting groove 34 through the opening 341 and can be removed from the opening 341. The shape of the opening 341 can match the shape and size of the structure of the part of the filter device 50 located at the opening, so that the filter device 50 can provide a good sealing effect on the opening 341 during installation, thereby ensuring the good airtightness of the drying air duct 30.

[0092] Figure 18 yes Figure 15 A schematic diagram of the structure of the filter device 50.

[0093] Combination Figure 18 The filter device 50 may include a mounting part 51 and a filter part 52 arranged along its length direction. The mounting part 51 is provided at the opening 341, and the filter part 52 is provided in the drying air duct 30 to filter lint.

[0094] The mounting part 51 and the filter part 52 can be integrally formed, thereby ensuring the stability of the filter device 50 structure. The mounting part 51 can be exposed through the opening 341, thereby exposing the mounting part 51 to the side wall of the drying air duct 30, allowing the user to hold the part of the mounting part 51 exposed through the opening 341 to pick up and put down the filter device 50.

[0095] When the filter device 50 is installed in the drying air duct 30, the filter part 52 is located inside the drying air duct 30, so that the filter part 52 can fully contact the inside of the drying air duct 30, thereby achieving a better filtration effect.

[0096] Figure 19 yes Figure 18 An exploded view of the structure of the filter device 50 shown. Figure 20 yes Figure 19 The diagram shown illustrates the structure of the filtration device for removing the filter screen. Figure 21 yes Figure 18 The diagram shows the structure of the filter device 50 from another perspective. Figure 22 yes Figure 21The filter device 50 shown is a cross-sectional view along section line CC.

[0097] Combination Figures 19-22 The filtration device 50 includes a filter frame 521 and a filter screen 522, which can be part of the filtration section 52. The filter frame 521 forms a perforated area 5211, and the filter screen 522 is disposed in the perforated area 5211. The shape and size of the perforated area 5211 match the shape and size of the filter screen 522, allowing the filter screen 522 to be embedded in the perforated area 5211. The filter frame 521 can be a plate-like structure with an opening forming the perforated area 5211; in this case, the height direction of the filter frame 521 is consistent with the height direction of the drying air duct 30.

[0098] At least a portion of the filter frame 521 is disposed within the drying air duct 30, and the filter frame 521 and the filter screen 522 divide the drying air duct 30 into two parts arranged along its airflow direction. The length of the filter frame 521 can be equal to the width at the corresponding position of the drying air duct 30, so that the filter frame 521 and the filter screen 522 on the filter frame 521 can precisely divide the drying air duct 30 into two parts. At this time, the air located on one side of the filter frame 521 must pass through the filter screen 522 on the filter frame 521 before it can pass through the filtration device 50, thereby achieving sufficient filtration of the air.

[0099] Regarding the specific arrangement of the filter screen 522, the filter screen 522 is provided with multiple filter holes (not shown in the figure) arranged at intervals. The diameter of the filter holes is smaller than the diameter of the lint that needs to be filtered. Thus, when air passes through the filter device 50, the lint will be blocked and filtered by the filter screen 522.

[0100] Specifically, a collection trough 5212 is provided on the side of the filter frame 521 near the air outlet 211. The collection trough 5212 is used to collect lint from the filter screen 522. The opening of the collection trough 5212 faces the top wall of the drying air duct 30 and is lower than the top of the filter screen 522. After the lint is blocked and collected by the filter screen 522, some lint will fall directly from the filter screen 522 into the collection trough 5212, while some lint will adhere to the filter screen 522 and fall into the collection trough 5212 after a certain amount.

[0101] By designing the collection tank 5212, the lint filtered by the filter screen 522 is stored in the collection tank 5212, preventing it from scattering randomly in the drying air duct 30 and becoming difficult to collect, or even flowing back into the clothing receiving cavity 21. Once the amount of lint in the collection tank 5212 has accumulated to a certain level, the user can directly remove the filter device 50 and clean out the lint in the collection tank 5212.

[0102] Based on the embodiment of the filter holder 521 with filter groove 5212 described above, the filter holder 521 is not plate-shaped. In this case, the filter holder 521 includes a bottom wall 5213 and a side wall 5214, which can also be considered as the bottom wall and side wall of the collection groove 5212. The bottom wall 5213 is located at the bottom of the filter holder 521, below the filter screen 522. The side wall 5214 is located on the side of the bottom wall 5213 away from the filter screen 522 and opposite to the filter screen 522. The top of the side wall 5214 is lower than the top of the filter screen 522, so that the top of the collection groove 5212 is lower than the top of the filter screen 522.

[0103] At this time, the filter frame 521 includes a filter plate 5215, and a hollow area 5211 is provided on the filter plate 5215, so the filter plate 5215 is plate-shaped. The bottom wall 5213 and the side wall 5214 are located on the side of the filter plate 5215 near the air outlet 211, so that the filter plate 5215, the bottom wall 5213, and the side wall 5214 together enclose and form a collection groove 5212.

[0104] Continue to combine Figure 16 as well as Figure 17 In some specific embodiments, the drying air duct 30 includes an expanding air duct 35 and two chambers 36 arranged sequentially along its air guiding direction. The expanding air duct 35 is connected to the air outlet 211 and the two chambers 36, and the two chambers 36 are connected to the air inlet 212. In conjunction with the above, the second air guide pipe 33 is connected to the expanding air duct 35, and the two chambers 36 are connected to the first air guide pipe 32, thereby allowing the air exiting the air outlet 211 to be sequentially guided into the clothing receiving cavity 21 through the second air guide pipe 33, the expanding air duct 35, the two chambers 36, the first air guide pipe 32, and the air inlet 212.

[0105] The width of the expansion duct 35 gradually increases along its air guiding direction, so that the airflow introduced into the expansion duct 35 by the second air guide duct 33 increases the air outlet area after passing through the expansion duct 35, thereby evenly guiding the air into the two chambers 36 with larger air inlet surfaces.

[0106] In one embodiment where the drying air duct 30 includes an air expansion duct 35 and two chambers 36, a filter device 50 is disposed between the air expansion duct 35 and the two chambers 36. The air expansion duct 35 guides gas through the filter device 50 into the two chambers 36. At this time, one side of the filter device 50 is connected to one end of the air expansion duct 35 to receive the airflow from the air expansion duct 35, and the other side of the filter device 50 is connected to one side of the two chambers 36, allowing the filtered airflow to be directly introduced into the two chambers 36.

[0107] Combination Figure 19 as well as Figure 20In some specific embodiments, the filter frame 521 includes a plurality of sub-hollow regions 52111 arranged at intervals along its length direction. The filter frame 521 may include a plurality of separators 5216, which are spaced at intervals along the length direction of the filter frame 521 in the hollow regions 5211, thereby dividing the hollow regions 5211 into a plurality of sub-hollow regions 52111.

[0108] Multiple air distribution plates 351 are installed within the air duct 35, extending along its air guiding direction. These plates divide the air duct 35 into multiple sub-ducts, each directing airflow into a different sub-perforated area 52111. The air distribution plates 51 can extend from one side of the air duct to the other. The width of the sub-ducts can be determined based on the airflow volume, ensuring that the airflow into the sub-perforated area 52111 from different sub-ducts is similar, thus guaranteeing good filtration and uniform entry into the two chambers 36.

[0109] The filter frame 521 is positioned on both sides, contacting the air duct 35 and the two chambers 36 respectively, with its length aligned with the side of the two chambers 36 near the air duct 35. The bottom surface of the two chambers 36 can be rectangular, allowing the filter frame 521 to be parallel to the sidewall of the two chambers 36 near the air duct 35. By placing the filter frame 521 on one side of the two chambers 36 and aligning its length with the side of the two chambers 36, the space at the top of the cylindrical assembly 20 can be fully utilized.

[0110] Combination Figures 15-17 In some specific embodiments, the air expansion duct 35 is connected to the air outlet 211 through the second air guide pipe 33. The air outlet end 331 of the first air guide pipe 33, which is away from the air outlet 211, is located on the top rear side of the cylinder assembly 20. The filter frame 521 is disposed on one side of the air outlet end 331, and the air expansion duct 35 is arranged in an arc shape.

[0111] At this time, the air outlet 331 is located on the rear side of the top structure of the cylinder assembly 20, and the opening at the connection between the two chambers 36 and the air expansion duct 35 extends from the side wall of the top structure to the front side. At this time, the air expansion duct 35 needs to be set as an arc to meet the positional relationship between the air outlet 331 and the two chambers 36.

[0112] Figure 23 yes Figure 16 A structural diagram of some of the components. Figure 24 yes Figure 23 The structure shown is a cross-sectional view along section line DD. Figure 25 yes Figure 23 The diagram shows the structure of the filter device 50 in its combined state. Figure 26 yes Figure 25The structure shown is a cross-sectional view along section line EE. Figure 27 yes Figure 26 An enlarged structural diagram of region B in the diagram.

[0113] Combination Figures 23-27 The drying air duct 30 has an air guide 352 on the side of the filter device 50 near the air outlet 211. The air discharged from the air outlet 211 is introduced into the filter device 50 through the air guide 352. In summary, the air duct 35 has an air guide 352 at one end near the filter device 50, and the airflow in the air duct 35 enters the filter device 50 through the air guide 352.

[0114] Specifically, the bottom of the air vent 352 is higher than the top of the collection tank 5212. This ensures that when airflow is introduced through the air vent 352, the airflow flows from the top of the collection tank 5212 to the filter screen 522, rather than being directed into the interior of the collection tank 5212, thus preventing the lint inside the collection tank 5212 from being blown up. Furthermore, because the collection tank 5212 is lower than the air vent 352, when the airflow at the filter device 50 returns to the air outlet 211, the lint in the collection tank 5212 is less likely to flow back to the air outlet 211 with the airflow, thereby reducing the backflow of collected lint and ensuring the cleanliness of the clothing storage cavity 21.

[0115] Based on the above, the air vent 352 can be the air vent at one end of the air duct 35 near the filter device 50. That is, the airflow entering the air duct 35 needs to pass through the air vent 352 before it can enter the filter device 50 for filtration. In other words, the air duct 35 and the filter device 50 are connected through the air vent 352.

[0116] To further reduce the backflow of lint in the collection tank 5212, in some specific embodiments, a baffle 37 is provided in the drying air duct 30. The baffle 37 is movably disposed at the air guide 352 and can open and close the air guide 352.

[0117] The baffle 37 can be positioned on the side of the air duct 352 near the filter device 50. As the baffle 37 opens the air duct 352, it moves towards the filter device 50. When the drying duct 30 is not guiding airflow, the baffle 37 covers the air duct 352. When the drying duct 30 is guiding airflow, the airflow within the drying duct 30 drives the baffle 37 to move, causing the baffle 37 to open the air duct 352.

[0118] The shape and size of the baffle 37 can match the shape and size of the air guide 352, allowing the baffle 37 to completely cover the air guide 352. The top of the baffle 37 can be connected to the top of the air guide 352, and the connection can be either movable or fixed. When the baffle 37 is movably connected to the air guide 352, it can be connected via a pivot, allowing the baffle 37 to rotate around the pivot to open and close the air guide. In this case, the baffle 37 can close the air guide 352 by its own gravity. When the baffle 37 is fixedly connected to the air guide 352, the baffle 37 can have a certain degree of elasticity. Initially, the baffle 37 closes the air guide 352; under the drive of wind, it moves to open the air guide 352; and when there is no wind, it elastically returns to close the baffle 352.

[0119] When the baffle 37 is installed at the air guide 352, the baffle 37 can be connected to the air duct wall of the air expansion duct 35, or it can be connected to the side of the filter device 50 near the air expansion duct 35, without specific restrictions.

[0120] Combination Figure 22 as well as Figure 27 The filter frame 521 may include a top wall 5217, which is located at the top of the filter frame 521, i.e., at the top of the filter plate 5215, and is positioned opposite to the bottom of the collection trough 5212, i.e., the top wall 5217 is positioned opposite to the bottom wall 5213. In this case, an air guide 352 is formed between the side wall 5214 and the top wall 5216. When the baffle 37 is connected to the filter device 50, specifically, the top of the baffle 37 can be connected to the top wall 5216; in this case, the baffle 37 can be considered part of the filter device 50.

[0121] Combination Figure 27 A baffle 353 is provided at the bottom of the air guide 352. The baffle 353 extends along the width of the drying air duct 30, which, in conjunction with the above, means that the baffle 353 extends along the length of the mounting groove 34. The baffle 353 is specifically located at one end of the air duct 35 near the filter device 50, and the air guide 352 is formed between the baffle 353 and the top wall 5216.

[0122] The top of the side wall 5214 of the collection tank 5212 abuts against the bottom of the baffle 353, thus limiting the position of the filter device. At this time, the baffle 353 extends into and is positioned above the top of the collection tank 5212, ensuring that the bottom of the air guide 352 is higher than the top of the collection tank 5212. Therefore, the baffle 353 ensures the filter device 50 is securely fixed and that the air guide 352 is always positioned above the collection tank 5212.

[0123] Combination Figures 11-15In some specific embodiments, the garment processing device 100 includes a water tank 60, which is disposed on top of the drum assembly 20 and communicates with the garment receiving cavity 21. The water tank 60 is connected to an external water source, allowing water from the external water source to be introduced into the water tank 60 and further into the garment receiving cavity 21. In some application scenarios, the garment processing device is a washer-dryer combo. In this case, the water tank 60 can supply washing water to the garment receiving cavity 21. The water tank 60 can also contain detergent, which is then introduced into the garment receiving cavity 21 by the water source to wash the garments.

[0124] In conjunction with the above-mentioned filter device 50, in the embodiment where a water box 60 is provided, the water box 60 is located on one side of the drying air duct 30, and the filter device 50 is provided between the water box 60 and the heat pump system 40, that is, the filter frame 521 is provided between the water box 60 and the heat pump system 40.

[0125] Specifically, the water box 60 is located on one side of the air duct 35 and is adjacent to the air duct 35. At this time, the water box 60 can be located on one side of the top structure of the cylinder assembly 20, and the filter device 50 can be located in the middle of the top structure.

[0126] Combination Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The garment processing equipment 100 is equipped with a control panel 70, which is located at the upper front of the housing 10. Users can input control commands through the control panel 70 to control the garment processing equipment. At this time, the end of the mounting part 51 of the filter device 50 is located on one side of the control panel 70 and is adjacent to the control panel 70. The side of the filter device 50 away from the control panel 70 is adjacent to the pull-out part at the front of the water box 60.

[0127] Therefore, through the above arrangement, the filter device 50 makes reasonable use of the space between the drying air duct 30 of the top structure and the water box 60, and the installation part 51 of the filter device is located between the control panel 70 and the pull-out part of the water box 60, which also makes good use of the space at the front of the housing 10.

[0128] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 16 In some specific embodiments, the top of the cylinder assembly 20 is provided with an upper support plate 80 and an upper cover plate 31. The upper support plate 80 forms at least part of the bottom wall of the drying air duct 30, and the upper cover plate 131 is disposed above the upper support plate 80, forming at least part of the top wall of the drying air duct 30.

[0129] Specifically, part of the upper support plate 80 forms the bottom wall of the drying air duct 30, which can specifically form the bottom wall of the air expansion duct 35 and the two chambers 36. Furthermore, the upper support plate 80 can also form the top wall of the water box 60. In this case, the bottom wall of the drying air duct 30 and the top wall of the water box 60 are integrally formed by the upper support plate 80, thereby simplifying the structure and installation procedure.

[0130] Figure 28 yes Figure 23 The diagram shown is a structural illustration from another perspective. Figure 29 yes Figure 28 An enlarged structural diagram of region C in the diagram. Figure 30 yes Figure 23 An enlarged schematic diagram of the structure of region D in the diagram.

[0131] Combination Figures 28-30 In the embodiment where a water box 60 is provided, an exhaust duct 90 communicating with the interior of the water box 60 may be provided on the top of the water box 60, with one end of the exhaust duct 90 communicating with the ventilation duct 35. The exhaust duct 90 may be integrated with the top wall of the water box 60, thus making the top wall of the water box 60 a part of the exhaust duct. Alternatively, the exhaust duct 90 may be formed independently from a structure other than the top wall of the water box 60, without specific limitations. In the embodiments described in this application, the top wall of the water box 60 constitutes a part of the exhaust duct 90.

[0132] By setting the exhaust duct 90, the air inside the water box 60 can enter the ventilation duct 35 through the exhaust duct 90, and then be finally introduced into the clothing receiving cavity 21 and discharged, so as to realize the exhaust of the water box 60.

[0133] In this configuration, the airflow direction from the exhaust duct 90 into the expansion duct 35 is consistent with the airflow direction within the expansion duct 35. This ensures that most of the air exhausted from the exhaust duct 90 is introduced into the garment receiving cavity 21 through the air inlet 212. With this arrangement, when the garment processing equipment 100 dries the garments, the airflow from the exhaust duct 90 merges with the airflow from the expansion duct 35 and is introduced into both chambers 36, ultimately entering the garment receiving cavity 21, thus enhancing the airflow within the drying duct 30. Furthermore, the air exhausted from the exhaust duct 90 is humid air. After being processed by the heat pump system 40 within the two chambers 36, the air entering the garment receiving cavity 21 is relatively dry, preventing any impact on garment drying. Of course, some air exhausted from the exhaust duct 90 flows in the opposite direction to the airflow direction of the expansion duct 35 and then enters the garment receiving cavity 21 through the air outlet 211.

[0134] It should be understood that in the prior art, in order to expel excess air from the water box, a venting pipe is provided to connect the inner cavity of the water box and the clothing receiving cavity, which is a relatively complex structure. This application, by setting up an exhaust duct 90, directly exhausts the excess air inside the water box 60 into the ventilation duct 35, and finally guides it into the clothing receiving cavity 21, omitting the setting of the venting pipe and simplifying the structure.

[0135] Combination Figure 29 as well as Figure 30 An anti-backflow baffle 91 is installed inside the exhaust duct 90. The anti-backflow baffle 91 is located on the side wall of the exhaust duct 90 and is used to reduce the backflow of air from the drying duct to the exhaust duct 90. One side of the anti-backflow baffle 91 is fixed to the side wall of the exhaust duct 90 for fixation. The anti-backflow baffle 91 protrudes relative to the inner wall of the exhaust duct 90, but does not completely separate the exhaust duct 90, thus blocking the backflow of air. The gas in the water box 60 can pass through the anti-backflow baffle 91 and enter the air diversion duct 35.

[0136] To ensure the backflow prevention effect of the anti-backflow baffle 91, the anti-backflow baffle 91 is arc-shaped with its inner arc facing towards the side closest to the drying air duct 30, that is, the inner arc of the anti-backflow baffle 91 is close to the side of the air diversion duct 35. When the backflowing air impacts the inner arc of the anti-backflow baffle 91, the inner arc will guide the air towards the air diversion duct 35, thereby improving the effect of reducing backflowing air. On the other hand, when the air in the water box 60 enters the air diversion duct 35, the air impacts the outer arc of the anti-backflow baffle 91, and the outer arc will guide the air towards the air diversion duct 35, thereby ensuring that the air in the water box 60 can be fully introduced into the air diversion duct 35.

[0137] Continue to combine Figure 29 as well as Figure 30 In some specific embodiments, there can be multiple anti-reverse baffles 91. Multiple anti-reverse baffles 91 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the air guiding direction of the exhaust duct 90 and are arranged crosswise on two opposite side walls of the exhaust duct 90 to divide the exhaust duct 90 into a curved duct.

[0138] To further explain the aforementioned spaced and cross-arranged arrangement, an example is given below: The two opposite sidewalls of the exhaust duct 90 are the first sidewall and the second sidewall. There are four backflow preventers 91, namely the first baffle, the second baffle, the third baffle, and the fourth baffle. At this time, the first baffle, the second baffle, the third baffle, and the fourth baffle are arranged sequentially and spaced apart along the airflow direction of the exhaust duct 90, with the first baffle located on the first sidewall, the second baffle located on the second sidewall, the third baffle located on the first sidewall, and the fourth baffle located on the second sidewall.

[0139] Of course, the accompanying drawings of this application only show that there are two check valves 91. In other embodiments, it is not limited to this, and the number of check valves 91 can be set according to the desired effect.

[0140] It should be understood that when the exhaust duct 90 is divided into curved ducts, if the exhaust duct 90 were a straight duct, the opening at the other end of the duct would not be visible from the opening at one end along the airflow direction. It should be understood that dividing the exhaust duct 90 into curved ducts by the anti-backflow baffle 91 can further improve the effect of reducing air backflow.

[0141] To further ensure the separation effect of the anti-reverse baffle 91 in dividing the exhaust duct 90 into curved ducts, the height of the anti-reverse baffle 91 can be the same as the height of the exhaust duct 90. In this case, the airflow returning to the exhaust duct 90 can only flow forward from the side of the anti-reverse baffle 91 to the next anti-reverse baffle 91, and will not flow directly past the anti-reverse baffle 91 through the upper gap to the water box 60.

[0142] Combination Figure 30 In some specific embodiments, a backflow preventer section 92 is provided at one end of the exhaust duct 90 near the drying duct 30. The backflow preventer section 92 is outlined with a dashed box and is the portion of the exhaust duct 90 near the drying duct 30. The backflow preventer section 92 primarily reduces air backflow. In this case, a backflow preventer baffle 91 is disposed on the side wall of the backflow preventer section 92 and located within the backflow preventer section 92.

[0143] Specifically, the width of the backflow preventer section 92 gradually decreases along the airflow direction. The width of the end of the backflow preventer section 92 furthest from the expansion duct 35 is greater than the width of the end closest to the expansion duct 15. At this point, the shape of the backflow preventer section 92 resembles the cross-sectional shape of a funnel in its depth direction. By setting the backflow preventer section 92 to this shape, the opening at the connection between the backflow preventer section 92 and the expansion duct 35 is smaller, which reduces air backflow. Furthermore, the width of the backflow preventer section 92 gradually increases as it moves away from the opening to ensure good airflow guidance.

[0144] The exhaust duct 90 includes an air guiding section 93, which is located on the side of the check duct 92 away from the expansion duct 35. The air guiding section 93 is connected to the check duct 92 and communicates with the interior of the water box. At this time, the exhaust duct 90 is divided into two parts: the check duct 92 and the air guiding section 93. The air guiding section 93 is bent relative to the check duct 92, that is, the air guiding direction of the air guiding section 93 and the air guiding direction of the check duct 92 have a certain angle. At this time, the exhaust duct 90 is bent in shape. The air returning from the expansion duct 35 will collide with the inner wall of the duct within the bent exhaust duct 90, thereby reducing the backflow.

[0145] Specifically, the anti-reverse section 92 and the air guide section 93 are separated by a partition structure 96. The anti-reverse section 92 and the air guide section 93 are located on both sides of the partition structure 96. At this time, the degree of bending between the anti-reverse section 92 and the air guide section 93 is relatively large, which helps to reduce air backflow, and the two sections are closely arranged.

[0146] In the embodiment described above, the upper cover plate 31 is not only positioned on top of the drying duct 30 but also on top of the water box 60. In this case, the upper cover plate 31 covers the upper wall of the water box 60, forming an exhaust duct 90 together with the upper wall of the water box 60. It should be understood that in this embodiment, the upper cover plate 31 simultaneously constitutes the top wall of both the drying duct 30 and the exhaust duct 90.

[0147] Figure 31 yes Figure 28 A schematic diagram of the upper support plate 80 and the upper cover plate 31 under explosive conditions. Figure 32 yes Figure 31 A schematic diagram of the structure of the upper cover plate 31.

[0148] Combination Figure 31 as well as Figure 32 In some specific embodiments, the top wall of the water box 60 is part of the upper support plate 80. In this case, the upper support plate 80 simultaneously constitutes the top wall of the water box 60 and the bottom wall of the drying air duct 30. By integrally molding the top wall of the water box 60 and the bottom wall of the drying air duct 30, the structure is simplified, and the gaps between the structures are eliminated, making the arrangement between the structures more compact.

[0149] In some specific embodiments, the top wall of the water box 60 is recessed downward to form an exhaust groove 94, which communicates with the interior of the water box 60. The upper cover plate 31 is placed on the exhaust groove 94 to enclose and form an exhaust duct 90. The upper cover plate 31 fits into the opening at the top of the exhaust groove 94, thereby sealing the opening at the top of the exhaust groove 94 to form the exhaust duct 90. At this time, the inner cavity of the exhaust groove 94 constitutes the inner cavity of the exhaust duct 90.

[0150] An exhaust hole 95 can be provided on the bottom wall of the exhaust groove 94. The exhaust hole 95 is connected to the inner cavity of the water box 60 and the exhaust groove 94. Air inside the water box 60 can be discharged into the exhaust groove 94 through the exhaust hole 95, that is, discharged into the exhaust duct 90. The exhaust hole 94 can be located at the end of the exhaust groove 94 away from the expansion duct 35, so that the air discharged from the exhaust hole 94 is guided into the expansion duct 35 along the air guiding direction of the exhaust duct 90.

[0151] Of course, in other embodiments, the upper cover plate 31 may protrude upward to form a groove, which, together with the top wall of the water box 60, forms an exhaust duct 90; or, both the top wall of the water box 60 and the upper cover plate 31 may have grooves, and the shapes and sizes of the grooves formed by the two may match, so that when the upper cover plate 31 is placed on the top wall of the water box 60, the grooves of the two are enclosed to form the exhaust duct 90. Of course, the arrangement of the exhaust duct 90 is not limited to the above embodiments and is not specifically limited.

[0152] In some specific embodiments, the more specific positional relationships between the exhaust duct 90, the drying duct 30, and the water box 60 are as follows:

[0153] The connection port between the exhaust duct 90 and the expansion duct 35 is located at the end of the expansion duct 35 near the air outlet 211, and the connection port faces the wind direction of the expansion duct 35. At this time, the airflow velocity of the side of the expansion duct 35 near the air outlet 211 is relatively high, which can effectively guide the airflow from the connection port. The wind direction of the connection port towards the expansion duct 35 is also the direction of the connection port towards the end of the expansion duct 35 near the two chambers 36, thereby allowing the airflow from the connection port to be better introduced into the two chambers 36.

[0154] One end of the expansion air duct 35 near the air outlet 211 is connected to the second air guide duct 33. Based on the setting position of the second air guide duct 33, the exhaust air duct 90 is located at the rear of the upper support plate 80, and at the rear of the water box 60 and on one side of the second air guide duct 33.

[0155] Combination Figure 31 as well as Figure 32 Specifically, the upper cover plate 31 has a first closing portion 311 and a second closing portion 312. The first closing portion 311 constitutes the main part of the upper cover plate 31, and the second closing portion 312 is located on one side of the first closing portion 311. The first closing portion 311 forms the top wall of the drying air duct 30, and the second closing portion 312 forms the top wall of the exhaust air duct 90. At this time, the upper support plate 80 is provided with an exhaust area 81, and an exhaust groove 94 is provided at the exhaust area 81. The shape and size of the exhaust area 81 match the shape and size of the second closing portion 312, so that the second closing portion 312 closes onto the exhaust groove 94 to form the exhaust air duct 90.

[0156] Based on the embodiment described above, which includes a mounting portion 51 and a filtering portion 52 arranged along its length, and the mounting portion 51 is provided at the opening 341, the mounting portion 51 and related structures will be described in detail below.

[0157] Figure 33 yes Figure 18 The top view of the filter device 50 shown. Figure 34 yes Figure 33 The filter device 50 shown is a cross-sectional view along section line FF. Figure 35 yes Figure 34 An enlarged structural diagram of region E in the diagram.

[0158] Combination Figures 33-35 Specifically, the mounting part 51 is hollow and has a mounting cavity 511. The mounting cavity 511 is used to accommodate some devices so that the mounting part 51 can be fixed at the opening 341 of the mounting groove 34 through these components. These devices may include a rotating member 512, a first elastic member 513, and a pressing member 514.

[0159] Figure 36 yes Figure 18 The diagram shows the structure of the filter device 50 from another perspective. Figure 37 yes Figure 36 An exploded view of the structure of the filter device 50 shown. Figure 38 yes Figure 36 An enlarged structural diagram of region F in the diagram.

[0160] Combination Figures 36-38 The rotating member 512 is partially disposed within the mounting cavity 511. The rotating member 512 is capable of rotating around its rotation axis, which can be an axis of its own structure. A limiting part 5121 is provided on one side of the rotating member 512. The limiting part 5121 passes through the side wall of the mounting part 51 and is exposed outside the mounting cavity 511.

[0161] Specifically, the mounting part 51 and the filter part 52 are integrally formed. At this time, a strip groove 515 is provided on the side wall of the mounting part 51. The strip groove 515 extends along the length direction of the filter device 50. The limiting part 5121 passes through the strip groove 515 and is exposed in the mounting cavity 511.

[0162] One end of the first elastic element 513 is connected to the rotating element 512, and the other end is fixed inside the mounting cavity 511, which may be fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 511. The first elastic element 513 can undergo elastic deformation, and thus extend and retract along its own length direction. The first elastic element 513 can be a spring, as shown in the attached figure, or it can be an elastic sheet, elastic rod, or other elastic structure, without specific limitations.

[0163] One end of the pressing member 514 is connected to the rotating member 512, and the other end protrudes from the mounting cavity 511 and is located on the end face of the mounting portion 51. At this time, the pressing member 514 is located on the side of the rotating member 512 near the end of the mounting portion 51, allowing the user to press the pressing member 514 on the end face of the mounting portion 51. In conjunction with the aforementioned positional relationship between the first elastic member 513 and the rotating member 512, the first elastic member 513 is also disposed on one side of the pressing member 514. The accompanying drawings show the first elastic members 513 disposed on opposite sides of the pressing member 514, but this is not a limitation; both can also be disposed on the same side of the pressing member 514.

[0164] Figure 39 yes Figure 28 A structural schematic diagram of the upper support plate 80 from another perspective. Figure 40 yes Figure 39 A magnified schematic diagram of the structure of region G in the diagram.

[0165] Combination Figure 39 , Figure 40 In addition to the above, the side wall of the opening 341 is provided with a limiting groove 342, which can extend along the length direction of the mounting groove 34, and the opening end of the limiting groove 342 is located at the end of the mounting groove 34.

[0166] In accordance with the above, during the assembly process of the mounting part 51, the mounting part 51 moves into the opening 341. As the limiting part 5121 engages with the limiting groove 342, the rotating member 512 rotates around its axis of rotation. During this rotation, the rotating member 512 compresses the first elastic member 513. When the mounting part 51 is finally assembled into the opening 341, the first elastic member 513 remains compressed, pressing against the rotating member 512. This ensures that the limiting part 5121 of the rotating member 512 is firmly engaged within the limiting groove 342 by the elastic force of the first elastic member 513.

[0167] When the pressing member 514 is pressed, the pressing member 514 applies a force to the rotating member 512, causing the rotating member 512 to rotate. When the rotating member 512 rotates, the first elastic member 513 is further compressed. At this time, the limiting part 5121 will disengage from the limiting groove 342.

[0168] It should be understood that in some application scenarios, during the process of the limiting part 5121 engaging with the limiting groove 342, the rotating part 512 will rotate along the first direction, the limiting part 5121 will always abut against the top wall of the engaging groove 342, and the limiting part 5121 will move towards the bottom wall of the limiting groove 342. When the pressing part 514 is pressed, the rotating part 512 continues to rotate along the first direction, at which time the limiting part 5121 will continue to move towards the bottom wall of the limiting groove 342, thereby causing the limiting part 5121 to disengage from the top wall of the limiting groove 342, thereby allowing the mounting part 51 to be easily removed from the mounting groove 34.

[0169] Continue to combine Figure 39 In some specific embodiments, the limiting groove 342 includes a sliding groove 3421 and a locking groove 3422. The sliding groove 3421 extends along the length direction of the mounting groove 34, and the locking groove 3422 is disposed on the upper or lower wall of the sliding groove 3421 and communicates with the sliding groove 3421.

[0170] Taking the engagement groove 3422 being located on the upper wall of the sliding groove 3421 as an example, the engagement and disengagement processes of the limiting part 5121 are explained:

[0171] During the process of the limiting part 5121 engaging with the engaging groove 3422, the limiting part 5121 will always abut against the top wall of the limiting groove 342, that is, against the top wall of the sliding groove 3421. As the mounting part 51 moves into the opening 341, the limiting part 5121 will continuously slide on the top wall, eventually sliding into the engaging groove 3422. After the limiting part 5121 slides into the engaging groove 3422, the first elastic member 513 is still in a compressed state, thereby pressing against the rotating member 512, so that the limiting part 5121 is pressed against the engaging groove 3422, ensuring that the mounting part 51 is firmly fixed in the mounting groove 34. When the pressing member 514 is pressed, the pressing member 514 rotates, causing the limiting part 5121 to move downward, thereby causing the limiting part 5121 to disengage from the engaging groove 3422, and thus the filter device 50 can be removed.

[0172] Of course, when the engaging groove 3422 is provided on the lower wall of the sliding groove 3412, the process of engaging and disengaging the limiting part 5121 from the engaging groove 3422 is similar to the above process. At this time, the limiting part 5121 will abut against the bottom wall of the sliding groove 3421.

[0173] In some specific embodiments, the upper or lower wall of the sliding groove 3421, which is provided with the engaging groove 3422, is provided with an inclined surface 3423, which is located near the opening of the engaging groove 3422. During the assembly of the filter device 50, the mounting part 51 moves toward the inside of the opening 341, and the limiting part 5121 slides on the inclined surface 3423, and then slides from the inclined surface 3423 into the engaging groove 3422 to facilitate the engagement of the limiting part 5121.

[0174] Specifically, when the engaging groove 3422 is provided on the top wall of the sliding groove 3421, the inclined surface 3423 extends downward, and the top end of the inclined surface 3423 is closer to the outside of the opening 341 than its bottom end. When the engaging groove 3422 is provided on the bottom wall of the sliding groove 3412, the inclined surface 3423 extends downward, and the top end of the inclined surface 3423 is closer to the outside of the opening 341 than its bottom end. It should be understood that at this time, the opening 341 has a certain depth in the length direction of the filter device 50, the interior of the opening 341 is close to the interior of the drying air duct 30, and the exterior of the opening 341 is close to the exterior of the drying air duct 30.

[0175] Figure 41 yes Figure 37 A schematic diagram of part of the structure of the filter device 50 shown. Figure 42 yes Figure 41 A schematic diagram of the middle section. Figure 43 yes Figure 42 A schematic diagram of the middle part of the structure.

[0176] Combination Figures 41-43 The rotating member 512 may include a first straight portion 5122 and a second straight portion 5123. The first straight portion 5122 and the second straight portion 5123 are connected and set at an included angle. The rotating shaft is located at the connection between the first straight portion 5122 and the second straight portion 5123. The limiting portion 5121 is provided on one side of the first straight portion 5122. The second straight portion 5123 is connected to the first elastic member 513.

[0177] Specifically, both the first straight portion 5122 and the second straight portion 5123 are straight structures, and are integrally formed to ensure the stability of the rotating component 512. The included angle between the first straight portion 5122 and the second straight portion 5123 is the angle formed between the length direction of the first straight portion 5122 and the length direction of the second straight portion 5123, and the size of this included angle can be set according to actual needs. The included angle between the first straight portion 5122 and the second straight portion 5123 can be around 90°, as shown in the attached figure.

[0178] The rotation axis of the rotating member 512 can be perpendicular to the length direction of the first straight portion 5122 and the second straight portion 5123. When the rotating member 512 is disposed in the mounting cavity 511, the direction of the rotation axis can be horizontal and perpendicular to the length direction of the filter device 50. Of course, the arrangement of the rotation axis is not limited to this.

[0179] Continue to combine Figure 42 as well as Figure 43A rotating shaft 5124 is provided at the connection between the first straight portion 5122 and the second straight portion 5123, with the central axis of the rotating shaft 5124 serving as the rotation axis. The first branch 5122 and the second straight portion 5123 are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 5124, which can be fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 511, allowing the first straight portion 5122 and the second straight portion 5123 to rotate around the rotating shaft 5124. Alternatively, the first straight portion 5122 and the second straight portion 5123 can be fixed to the rotating shaft 5124, in which case the rotating shaft 5124 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 511, allowing the first straight portion 5122 and the second branch 5123 to rotate via the rotation of the rotating shaft 5124.

[0180] Combination Figure 42 as well as Figure 43 The first straight portion 5122 can be strip-shaped, and the second straight portion 5123 can be plate-shaped. The first straight portion 5122 is disposed on one side of the second straight portion 5123, and is disposed close to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 511. With this arrangement, the strip-shaped first straight portion 5122 will not affect the arrangement of other components, and the plate-shaped second straight portion 5123 is convenient for pressing against the first elastic member 513 and the pressing member 514.

[0181] Combination Figure 42 The first elastic member 513 and the pressing member 514 are located on opposite sides of the second straight portion 5123, and the first elastic member 513 and the first straight portion 5122 are located on the same side of the second straight portion 5123. At this time, the first elastic member 513 and the first straight portion 5122 are located on the side of the second straight portion 5123 away from the pressing member 514.

[0182] Figure 44 yes Figure 41 A structural diagram of some of the components. Figure 45 yes Figure 44 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the structure.

[0183] Combination Figure 44 as well as Figure 45 The garment processing device 100 also includes a second elastic member 516 and a sliding member 517. The second elastic member 516 is disposed in the mounting cavity 511 and one end is fixed relative to it. The sliding member 517 is connected to the other end of the second elastic member 516. The sliding member 517 partially passes through the bottom wall of the mounting part 51 and is provided to protrude relative to the bottom wall. The sliding member 517 can slide to press against the second elastic member 516.

[0184] Specifically, the second elastic element 516 and the first elastic element 513 can be similar elastic elements, such as springs, but with different stiffnesses. The sliding element 517 can be fixed to the other end of the second elastic element 516, thereby enabling the second elastic element 516 to drive the sliding element 517 to slide, and the sliding element 517 can also press against the second elastic element 516 by sliding. It should be understood that when the sliding element 517 slides, it will slide on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 511.

[0185] Combination Figure 40 The bottom wall of the opening 341 is provided with a protrusion 343, which protrudes from the bottom wall of the opening 341 and has a certain distance between the protrusion 343 and the outer end of the opening 341.

[0186] In conjunction with the above, when the mounting part 51 moves toward the inside of the opening 341 for assembly, the sliding member 517 abuts against the protrusion 343. As the mounting part 51 continues to move toward the inside of the opening 341, the sliding member 517 moves relative to the end of the mounting part 51 within the mounting cavity 511, thereby compressing the second elastic member 516. When the limiting part 5121 engages with the limiting groove 342, the second elastic member 516 reaches its maximum compression. The restoring force generated by the compression of the second elastic member 516 causes the mounting part 51 to tend to move toward the outside of the opening 341.

[0187] When the pressing member 514 is pressed, causing the limiting part 5121 to disengage from the limiting groove 342, the restoring force of the second elastic member 516 causes the mounting part 51 to move toward the outside of the opening 341, thereby causing the filter device 50 to move toward the outside of the opening 341. At this time, the filter device 50 will pop out directly under the elastic force of the second elastic member 516, making it easier for the user to take it out.

[0188] Combination Figure 45 The sliding member 517 includes a sliding upper part 5171 and a sliding lower part 5172 that are fixed to each other. The sliding upper part 5171 is located inside the mounting cavity 511 and is fixed to the end of the second elastic member 513. The bottom wall of the mounting part 51 is provided with a strip-shaped groove extending along its length direction. The sliding lower part 5172 passes through the strip-shaped groove and is exposed outside the mounting cavity 511. The sliding lower part 5172 can slide in the strip-shaped groove.

[0189] Specifically, the upper sliding part 5171 and the lower sliding part 5172 are integrally formed to ensure the stability of the sliding member 517 structure. The upper sliding part 5171 can move within the mounting cavity 511, thereby causing the upper sliding part 5171 to drive the lower sliding part 5172 to move. The structural dimensions of the portion of the lower sliding part 5172 near the upper sliding part are smaller, allowing the upper portion to be positioned within the strip groove. The structural dimensions of the lower portion of the lower sliding part 5172 are larger, ensuring that the lower sliding part 5172 does not completely enter the mounting cavity 511.

[0190] Continue to combine Figure 45 The upper sliding part 5171 may be provided with a receiving groove 51711 with an opening facing the second elastic member 513. The second elastic member 513 is partially disposed in the receiving groove 51711, and one end of the second elastic member 513 is fixed to the bottom of the receiving groove 51711.

[0191] Specifically, the upper sliding portion 5171 is hollow, forming a receiving groove 51711. The opening of the receiving groove 51711 is located at the end of the upper sliding portion near the second elastic member 516, allowing the second elastic member 516 to be partially accommodated in the receiving groove 51711. When the second elastic member 513 undergoes elastic deformation, the receiving groove 51711 regulates the shape of the second elastic member 516, ensuring that the second elastic member 516 can only undergo elastic deformation in its length direction. At this time, the shape of the receiving groove 51711 can be slightly larger than the shape of the second elastic member 513, thus achieving a good regulating effect.

[0192] Continue to combine Figure 45 In some specific embodiments, a receiving box 518 may be provided within the mounting cavity 511. The receiving box 518 is disposed within the mounting cavity 511, and the second elastic member 516 and the sliding upper part 5171 are both disposed within the receiving box 518. The receiving box 518 is fixed within the mounting cavity 511, preventing it from moving relative to the inner wall of the mounting cavity. At this time, one end of the second elastic member 513 is fixed to the inner wall of the receiving box 518 to achieve fixation relative to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 511.

[0193] By providing a receiving box 518, both the second elastic member 516 and the sliding member 517 are fixed to the receiving box 518. The receiving box 518 can be removed to remove the second elastic member 513 and the sliding member 517, thereby meeting the maintenance requirements of specific scenarios. At this time, an opening is provided on one side of the receiving box 518, through which the second elastic member 513 and the sliding member 517 can be placed into the receiving box 518, which is also convenient for removal. A locking part 5181 is provided on the side of the receiving box 518 with the opening. The locking part 5181 is used to lock onto other structures of the mounting part 51, thereby realizing the installation of the receiving box 518.

[0194] Figure 46 yes Figure 36 A schematic diagram of the filter device 50 from another perspective. Figure 47 yes Figure 46 A magnified schematic diagram of the structure of region H in the diagram.

[0195] Combination Figure 46 as well as Figure 47 The bottom wall of the accommodating box 518 forms part of the bottom wall of the mounting portion 51, and the side wall of the accommodating box 518 forms part of the side wall of the mounting portion 51. At this time, the accommodating box 518 and the other parts of the mounting portion 51 form a groove, allowing the sliding lower portion 5172 to slide within the groove. It should be understood that by making the bottom wall and side wall of the accommodating box 518 form the bottom wall and side wall of the mounting portion 51, the accommodating box 518 can be easily removed from the mounting portion 51.

[0196] Combination Figure 37 In some specific embodiments, the mounting portion 51 includes a first section 5191 and a second section 5192 arranged along its length direction. Both the first section 5191 and the second section 5192 are hollow to jointly form a mounting cavity 511. The first section 5191 and the second section 5192 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, thereby facilitating connection and disassembly.

[0197] Specifically, the first section 5191 is connected to the filter section 52, the rotating member 512 and the first elastic member 513 are both disposed in the first section 5191, and the pressing member 514 is disposed in the second section 5192. At this time, the first elastic member 513 and the rotating member 512 can be installed and directly assembled into the first section 5191. In conjunction with the above, the strip groove 515 is formed on the side wall of the first section 5191, and the sliding member 517 and the receiving box 518 are also disposed in the first section 5191.

[0198] A cover plate 5193 is also provided at the end of the second section 5192 away from the first section. The cover plate 5193 covers the opening at the end of the second section, and a through hole is provided on the cover plate 5193, so that one end of the pressing member 514 can pass through the through hole and protrude from the surface of the cover plate 5193. At this time, the user can pop out the filter device 50 by pressing the part of the pressing member 514 exposed on the cover plate 5193.

[0199] Combine and combine Figure 37In some specific embodiments, a limiting structure 5194 is provided within the second segment 5192. The limiting structure 5194 is fixed to the inner wall of the second segment 5192, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the limiting structure 5194. The pressing member 514 passes through the through hole and can slide within the through hole. In this case, the main function of the limiting structure 5194 is to support the pressing member 514 and limit the position of the pressing member 514, so that the pressing member 514 can slide within the limiting structure 5194 and ensure positional stability after being pressed by the user.

[0200] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of this patent application. Any equivalent structural or procedural changes made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
