Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the described features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0042] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] Currently, during the drying operation of a clothing processing device, clothing, especially cotton and velvet loads, will become fluffy due to drying, producing lint. This lint enters the air duct along with the air in the drum. If not cleaned in time, this lint will adhere to important components such as the evaporator and condenser, affecting the heat exchange between the air and the two components, and thus adversely affecting the drying effect. The traditional method of cleaning lint in clothing processing devices is to install a lint filter in front of the evaporator. However, the traditional lint filter requires regular and frequent manual removal to clean the lint. If the lint filter is not cleaned in time, the lint will fill the entire filter screen, causing an increase in local resistance in the air duct, thereby adversely affecting the filtering effect and the normal operation of the heat pump system.

[0044] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of an internal portion of a clothes processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a portion of the structure inside the box 1. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure from another perspective.

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the clothes processing device provided by the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a housing 1, a drum 2, a base 3 and a heat pump system.

[0046] The housing 1 typically has a hollow rectangular structure and forms the outer shell of the clothing processing device. The exterior shape of the housing 1 can be designed as needed and is not limited here. The interior space of the housing 1 provides installation space for components such as the drum 2, base 3, and heat pump system. It should be noted that the clothing processing device can be a dryer, a washer-dryer, or other clothing processing device.

[0047] The front surface of the box body 1 is provided with a clothing loading opening (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the internal space of the box body 1. The front side of the box body 1 is provided with a box door (not shown in the figure), which is used to open and close the clothing loading opening on the front side of the box body 1, and further open and close the space inside.

[0048] In some embodiments, the door and the box body 1 can be connected by a hinge, and the door can rotate around the axis of the hinge to open and close the door and open and close the clothing loading port.

[0049] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the drum 2 is disposed within the housing 1, forming a drying chamber 20 therein. A drum opening is formed on the front face of the drum 2, which faces the clothing loading port and the door of the housing 1. When the door is opened, clothing can be placed into the drying chamber 20 within the drum 2 through the clothing loading port at the front of the housing 1 and the drum opening of the drum 2 for drying.

[0050] In some embodiments, the drum 2 is rotatably disposed in the housing 1. During the drying process of the clothes in the drying chamber 20, the drum 2 can drive the clothes in the drying chamber 20 to rotate, thereby improving the drying uniformity and drying efficiency of the clothes.

[0051] In some embodiments, the drum 2 includes an outer drum (not shown) and an inner drum (not shown). The outer drum is fixedly mounted inside the housing 1, and the inner drum is rotatably disposed inside the outer drum. The drying chamber 20 is formed inside the inner drum. This allows the inner drum to rotate relative to the outer drum, improving drying uniformity and efficiency.

[0052] In some embodiments, the outer drum is configured as a tub for holding wash water. Specifically, the interior of the outer drum can be used to hold wash liquid, such as water, detergent, and softener. A washing chamber is formed within the inner drum for holding laundry. When the inner drum rotates relative to the outer drum, it washes the laundry within the washing chamber. It should be noted that the washing chamber can then function as a drying chamber 20, such as in a washer-dryer.

[0053] In some embodiments, the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are coaxially arranged inside and outside, and the front ends of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are both provided with openings arranged oppositely, and the front end opening of the outer cylinder and the front end opening of the inner cylinder are combined to form the cylinder mouth of the cylinder body 2.

[0054] In some embodiments, a drive device (not shown) is provided within the housing 1. The drive device is located outside the barrel 2, with the output end of the drive device being in driving connection with the barrel 2 or extending into the outer barrel to be in driving connection with the inner barrel. Thus, the drive device can drive the barrel 2 to rotate, or drive the inner barrel to rotate relative to the outer barrel.

[0055] See also Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments, an air inlet 21 and an air return outlet 22 are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the drum 2. The air inlet 21 is connected to the front end of the drying chamber 20, and the air return outlet 22 is connected to the rear end of the drying chamber 20. Dry air can enter the drying chamber 20 through the air inlet 21 to dry the clothes in the drying chamber 20. During the drying process, the dry air can remove moisture from the clothes, thereby forming hot and humid air. The hot and humid air can be discharged from the drying chamber 20 through the air return outlet 22, thereby achieving the function of drying clothes.

[0056] In some embodiments, the air inlet 21 is provided on the outer wall of the front end of the outer tube, and the air return port 22 is provided on the outer wall of the rear end of the outer tube.

[0057] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the air inlet 21 may also be provided on the outer wall of the rear end of the outer cylinder, thereby communicating with the rear end of the drying chamber 20. Meanwhile, the return air outlet 22 may be provided on the outer wall of the front end of the outer cylinder, thereby communicating with the front end of the drying chamber 20.

[0058] Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the middle base 3. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the decomposition structure. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure without the top cover 35. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the structure of part of the .

[0059] See also Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the base 3 is arranged in the box body 1 and above the top of the cylinder body 2. The base 3 is used to provide an installation space for the heat pump system.

[0060] The heat pump system primarily comprises a compressor 41, a condenser 42, and an evaporator 43. The outlet of the compressor 41 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 42, the outlet of the condenser 42 is connected to the inlet of the evaporator 43, and the outlet of the evaporator 43 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 41. This creates a circulation channel for the refrigerant within the compressor 41, the condenser 42, and the evaporator 43. After being compressed by the compressor 41, the refrigerant enters the condenser 42, causing it to generate heat, which in turn heats the surrounding air. The refrigerant in the condenser 42 flows into the evaporator 43, where it absorbs heat, condensing and cooling the surrounding air.

[0061] See also Figures 2 to 7As shown, two cavities 31 are formed in the base 3, and the condenser 42 and evaporator 43 of the heat pump system are both arranged in the two cavities 31. The condenser 42 and the evaporator 43 are arranged adjacent to each other, and there is a gap between the condenser 42 and the evaporator 43 to avoid direct contact between the condenser 42 and the evaporator 43.

[0062] An air inlet 311 and an air outlet 312 are formed on opposite sides of the two chambers 31. The air inlet 311 is located on the sidewall of the two chambers 31 near the evaporator 43, and the air outlet 312 is located on the sidewall of the two chambers 31 near the condenser 42. The air outlet 312 of the two chambers 31 is connected to the air inlet 21 of the drum 2 via the fan 5. The return air inlet 22 of the drum 2 is connected to the air inlet 311 of the two chambers 31 via the return air duct 6. Therefore, the air in the drying chamber 20 can flow in conjunction with the air in the two chambers 31, thereby forming an air flow circulation within the two chambers 31 and the drying chamber 20.

[0063] Specifically, the hot and humid air in the drying chamber 20 can enter the interior of the two chambers 31 through the return air port 22, the return air duct 6, and the air inlet 311 of the two chambers 31. It then comes into contact with the evaporator 43 in the two chambers 31. The evaporator 43 condenses and dehumidifies the hot and humid air, removing moisture from the air and lowering the air temperature to form dry, cold air. The dry, cold air then flows toward the condenser 42 and the air outlet 312 of the two chambers 31, coming into contact with the condenser 42 in the two chambers 31. The condenser 42 heats the dry, cold air, forming dry, hot air. This air is then introduced into the drying chamber 20 through the air outlet 312 of the two chambers 31, the fan 5, and the air inlet 21, drying the clothes. The hot and humid air generated by drying clothes in the drying chamber 20 enters the two-device chamber 31 through the return air port 22, the return air duct 6, and the air inlet 311. This cycle is repeated until the program stops or the clothes in the drying chamber 20 are dried, and the clothes drying function is finally achieved.

[0064] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the fan 5 is used to provide wind force so that the air in the two chambers 31 can enter the drying chamber 20 through the fan 5. The air suction end of the fan 5 is directly connected to the air outlet 312 of the two chambers 31, and the air outlet end of the fan 5 is connected to the air inlet 21 of the cylinder 2. Therefore, when the fan 5 is turned on, under the action of the wind force of the fan 5, the air in the two chambers 31 can enter the fan 5 through the air outlet 312, and then enter the drying chamber 20 through the air inlet 21, and the air in the drying chamber 20 can enter the return air duct 6 through the return air port 22, and return to the two chambers 31 through the air inlet 311, thereby realizing the circulation of air in the two chambers 31 and the drying chamber 20.

[0065] See also Figures 2 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the heat pump system further includes a first connecting pipe 44 and a second connecting pipe 45. One end of the first connecting pipe 44 is connected to the outlet of the compressor 41, and the other end of the first connecting pipe 44 extends into the two-vessel chamber 31 and is connected to the inlet of the condenser 42, thereby allowing the refrigerant in the compressor 41 to enter the condenser 42 through the first connecting pipe 44. One end of the second connecting pipe 45 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 41, and the other end of the second connecting pipe 45 extends into the two-vessel chamber 31 and is connected to the outlet of the evaporator 43, thereby allowing the refrigerant in the evaporator 43 to return to the compressor 41 through the second connecting pipe 45 for recompression.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first connecting tube 44 and the second connecting tube 45 are arranged in parallel, and the first connecting tube 44 and the second connecting tube 45 do not cross each other.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first connecting tube 44 and the second connecting tube 45 can both be made of copper tubes, which have good ductility and can be easily bent and installed. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the first connecting tube 44 and the second connecting tube 45 can also be made of other materials.

[0068] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the heat pump system further includes a filter drier 46 and a throttle 47, which are disposed between the outlet of the condenser 42 and the inlet of the evaporator 43. Specifically, the outlet of the condenser 42 is connected to one end of the filter drier 46 via a pipeline, the other end of the filter drier 46 is connected to one end of the throttle 47, and the other end of the throttle 47 is connected to the inlet of the evaporator 43. Therefore, the refrigerant in the condenser 42 can be dried and filtered by the filter drier 46, and then throttled and reduced in pressure by the throttle 47 before entering the evaporator 43 to evaporate and absorb heat, thereby achieving condensation and dehumidification of the surrounding air by the evaporator 43.

[0069] In some embodiments, the condenser 42 and the evaporator 43 are arranged side by side inside the two chambers 31. The inlet and outlet of the condenser 42 and the evaporator 43 are located at the same end, and the ends where the inlet and outlet of the condenser 42 and the evaporator 43 are located are located inside the first ends of the two chambers 31, and the other ends of the condenser 42 and the evaporator 43 are located at the second ends of the two chambers 31. Therefore, the drying filter 46 and the throttle 47 can be arranged between the ends of the condenser 42 and the evaporator 43, and arranged at the first ends of the two chambers 31. In addition, the top ends of the first connecting pipe 44 and the second connecting pipe 45 can extend into the first ends of the two chambers 31 in parallel, and be connected to the ends of the condenser 42 and the evaporator 43, respectively, to facilitate the pipeline layout and installation of the first connecting pipe 44 and the second connecting pipe 45.

[0070] Figure 8 yes Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the structure from another perspective. Figure 9 yes Figure 8 A top view of .

[0071] See also Figures 5 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a condensation groove 313 is provided on the bottom surface of the two chambers 31, and the condensation groove 313 is located directly below the evaporator 43. The bottom of the evaporator 43 is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the condensation groove 313. Therefore, when air enters the two chambers 31 through the air inlet 311 and condenses on the evaporator 43, the moisture in the air forms condensed water on the surface of the evaporator 43. The condensed water drips into the condensation groove 313 below the evaporator 43 under the action of gravity. The condensed water is then collected by the condensation groove 313 and discharged to the outside of the base 3.

[0072] See also Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a drain port 314 is provided on the bottom surface of the condensation tank 313 , and the drain port 314 is connected to the outside of the base 3 . The drain port 314 is used to drain the water in the condensation tank 313 out of the base 3 .

[0073] In some embodiments, the drain port 314 is provided at one end of the condensation tank 313, the drain port 314 is located at the lowest point of the condensation tank 313, and a slope surface 315 is formed near the drain port 314 of the condensation tank 313. The slope surface 315 is used to guide the water in the condensation tank 313 into the drain port 314, and then the water is discharged to the outside of the base 3 through the drain port 314.

[0074] See also Figures 5 to 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the discharge port 314 and the slope surface 315 are located at the first end of the two chambers 31, and the drying filter 46 and the throttle 47 are both arranged in the upper space of the slope surface 315 and the discharge port 314, thereby improving the space utilization efficiency inside the two chambers 31.

[0075] See also Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a drain pipe 32 is connected to the outside of the base 3. One end of the drain pipe 32 is connected to the drain port 314, and the other end of the drain pipe 32 is connected to the interior of the barrel 2. Therefore, the condensed water in the condensation tank 313 can be discharged into the interior of the barrel 2 through the drain port 314 and the drain pipe 32, without the need for an additional drainage pump. The condensed water can be discharged to the outside of the housing 1 through the drain port inside the barrel 2.

[0076] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the other end of the discharge pipe 32 may also be directly connected to the outside of the housing 1 , thereby directly discharging the condensed water in the condensation tank 313 to the outside of the housing 1 .

[0077] See also Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a convex rib 316 is provided on the groove surface of the condensation groove 313, and the bottom of the evaporator 43 can be supported on the convex rib 316, thereby maintaining a sufficient distance between the bottom surface of the evaporator 43 and the groove bottom surface of the condensation groove 313.

[0078] In some embodiments, the ribs 316 are elongated and extend in the same direction as the condensation grooves 313. Multiple ribs 316 are provided, and the ribs 316 are spaced apart.

[0081] See also Figures 5 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments, a guide air duct 33 is formed on the base 3. The guide air duct 33 is located on the side of the two chambers 31 outside the two chambers 31, near the air inlet 311. That is, the guide air duct 33 is located on the side of the two chambers 31 away from the air outlet 312. The first end of the guide air duct 33 is directly connected to the air inlet 311, and the second end of the guide air duct 33 is connected to the return air duct 6, and further connected to the return air outlet 22 through the return air duct 6. Therefore, the hot and humid air in the drying chamber 20 can be introduced into the guide air duct 33 through the return air duct 6, and then smoothly introduced into the two chambers 31 through the guide air duct 33 and the air inlet 311.

[0082] In some embodiments, the width of the guide duct 33 gradually widens from its second end toward its first end. Specifically, the end of the guide duct 33 near the air inlet 311 is widened, allowing air in the return air duct 6 to diffuse within the guide duct 33. Furthermore, the air inlet 311 of the guide duct 33 is elongated, with one side of the evaporator 43 facing the air inlet 311. The elongated air inlet 311 is directly connected to the first end of the guide duct 33. This increases the contact area between the moist hot air and the evaporator 43 through the guide duct 33, improving the air condensation efficiency and, consequently, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat pump system.

[0083] See also Figures 7 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments, a guide rib 331 is provided in the guide duct 33. The guide rib 331 is in the shape of an elongated strip and extends along the direction of air flow in the guide duct 33. The guide rib 331 is used to divide the space in the guide duct 33 into multiple sub-ducts, so that the air in the guide duct 33 can be gradually diffused. Then, at the first end of the guide duct 33, the air can be evenly contacted with the evaporator 43 through the air inlet 311, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator 43.

[0084] In some embodiments, a plurality of guide ribs 331 are provided, and the plurality of guide ribs 331 are arranged at intervals within the guide air duct 33. The plurality of guide ribs 331 can separate the space within the guide air duct 33 into a plurality of parallel sub-air ducts. It should be noted that the guide ribs 331 can be adjusted as needed and are not limited here.

[0085] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a pipe joint 34 is provided at one end of the guide air duct 33 away from the air inlet 311, one end of the return air duct 6 is detachably connected to the pipe joint 34, and the other end of the return air duct 6 is detachably connected to the return air port 22, thereby connecting the guide air duct 33 to the return air duct 6, so that the air in the drying chamber 20 can enter the guide air duct 33 through the return air duct 6, and enter the two-device chamber 31 through the guide air duct 33.

[0086] See also Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a top cover 35 is provided on the top surface of the base 3. The top cover 35 is configured to cover the top of the base 3, thereby sealing the top openings of the two container cavities 31 and the air guide duct 33. Specifically, the two container cavities 31 and the air guide duct 33 are respectively formed by downwardly recessed extensions of the top surface of the base 3. When the top cover 35 is placed on the top surface of the base 3, it can simultaneously seal the top openings of the two container cavities 31 and the air guide duct 33.

Figure 15 yes Figure 14 A schematic diagram of the decomposition structure.

[0088] See also Figures 5 to 15As shown, in some embodiments, a lint filter 7 is provided on the base 3 and is positioned between the air inlet 311 of the two chambers 31 and the first end of the guide duct 33. Therefore, the hot and humid air in the drying chamber 20 can enter the guide duct 33 through the return air port 22 and the return air duct 6. The air is then guided into the lint filter 7 by the guide duct 33 for filtration. The air then enters the two chambers 31 through the air inlet 311 of the two chambers 31, where it condenses upon contact with the evaporator 43. The condensed air is heated by the condenser 42 and then returns to the drying chamber 20 through the air outlet 312 and the air inlet 21. During the drying process, impurities such as lint and tiny particles from clothing can enter the hot and humid air. The lint filter 7 can remove these impurities from the air, preventing them from coating the surface of the evaporator 43 and affecting its operating efficiency, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the clothing processing device.

[0089] See also Figures 11 to 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter 7 includes a filter box 71 and a filter screen 72. The filter box 71 extends in an elongated strip shape, and the extension direction of the filter box 71 is consistent with the extension direction of the air inlet 311. The filter screen 72 is arranged in the filter box 71, and the filter screen 72 is elongated and the extension direction of the filter screen 72 is also consistent with the extension direction of the air inlet 311. The first end of the guide air duct 33 is connected to the interior of the filter box 71. The air in the guide air duct 33 can be introduced into the filter box 71, and after being filtered by the filter screen 72, it enters the two-device chamber 31 through the air inlet 311.

[0090] In some embodiments, the filter box 71 is retractably mounted on the base 3 along its length, and one end of the filter box 71 extends to and is exposed at the edge of the base 3. Therefore, when the filter box 71 and the filter screen 72 need to be cleaned or replaced, the filter box 71 can be pulled out from the base 3 along its length, and after replacing or cleaning the filter box 71 and the filter screen 72, the filter box 71 can be reinserted into the base 3, making it easier for users to install and maintain the filter box.

[0091] See also Figures 11 to 13As shown, in some embodiments, a first opening 711 and a second opening 712 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the filter box 71. The first opening 711 and the second opening 712 are interconnected through the interior of the filter box 71. The first opening 711 is directly connected to the air inlet 311, and the second opening 712 is directly connected to the first end of the guide air duct 33. The filter screen 72 is arranged at the first opening 711 and encloses the first opening 711. The air inlet side of the filter screen 72 faces the interior of the filter box 71, and the air outlet side of the filter screen 72 faces the evaporator 43. Therefore, the air in the cylinder 2 can enter the guide air duct 33 through the return air port 22 and the return air duct 6. The air in the guide air duct 33 can all enter the interior of the filter box 71 through the second opening 712, and after the impurities in the air are filtered out by the filter mesh 72 at the first opening 711, it enters the two-device cavity 31 through the air inlet 311. The impurities adhere to the filter mesh 72. After the impurities on the filter mesh 72 accumulate to a certain amount, they can fall into the interior of the filter box 71.

[0092] In some embodiments, a collection trough 73 is formed at the bottom of the filter box 71. The collection trough 73 is formed in the bottom area between the first opening 711 and the second opening 712. Hair debris on the filter screen 72 can fall into the collection trough 73. When the filter box 71 is pulled out of the base 3 and the housing 1, the hair debris in the filter box 71 can be promptly and effectively removed by cleaning the collection trough 73 and the filter screen 72.

[0093] See also Figures 7 to 15 As shown, in some embodiments, a separator rib 74 is provided within the filter box 71, and the separator rib 74 is connected to the guide rib 331 in a one-to-one correspondence. The separator rib 74 extends along the extension direction of the guide rib 331. One end of the separator rib 74 is adjacent to the second opening 712 and directly connects to the end of the guide rib 331 adjacent to the second opening 712. The other end of the separator rib 74 extends toward the first opening 711. The separator rib 74 can divide the internal space of the filter box 71 into multiple sub-channels, which are arranged side by side and respectively connected to the air inlet 311. Therefore, after air is diffused by the guide duct 33, it can flow into the corresponding sub-channels within the filter box 71, enter the two chambers 31 through different areas of the filter screen 72 and the air inlet 311, and come into contact with the evaporator 43, thereby increasing the contact area between the air, the filter screen 72 and the evaporator 43.

[0094] It should be noted that one or more partition ribs 74 can be provided, and multiple partition ribs 74 can be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the guide ribs 331 , that is, the number of partition ribs 74 remains consistent with the number of guide ribs 331 .

[0095] See also Figures 5 and 6As shown, in some embodiments, the clothing processing device further includes a spraying device, which includes a spraying pipe 81 , a spraying water pipe 82 and a spraying water inlet valve 83 .

[0096] The spray pipe 81 is arranged on the air inlet side of the evaporator 43, that is, on the side of the evaporator 43 near the air inlet 311. The spray pipe 81 extends in a long strip, extending in the same direction as the air inlet 311, and is arranged above the air inlet 311. One side of the spray pipe 81 faces the evaporator 43, and a spray port 811 facing the evaporator 43 is provided on the side of the spray pipe 81 facing the evaporator 43. Water in the spray pipe 81 can be sprayed onto the surface of the evaporator 43 through the spray port 811, thereby cleaning the evaporator 43 and allowing impurities such as lint on the surface of the evaporator 43 to flow into the condensation tank 313 below the evaporator 43 and then discharged to the outside of the base 3 through the outlet 314 of the condensation tank 313.

[0097] In some embodiments, the spray pipe 81 is provided with a plurality of spray ports 811, and the plurality of spray ports 811 are spaced apart along the length of the air inlet 311. The plurality of spray ports 811 can be directed toward different areas of the surface of the evaporator 43, thereby cleaning a majority of the evaporator 43 or the entire evaporator 43.

[0098] See also Figures 5 and 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a spray pipe 81 is arranged above the air inlet 311 and the lint filter 7, and the spray pipe 81 is arranged between the two chambers 31 and the first end of the guide air duct 33. When air enters the two chambers 31 through the guide air duct 33, the lint filter 7, and the air inlet 311, relatively fine lint and microparticles in the air can still enter the two chambers 31 and adhere to the surface of the evaporator 43. Therefore, the spray port 811 of the spray pipe 81 can simultaneously clean the surface of the evaporator 43, allowing the fine lint on the surface of the evaporator 43 to flow into the condensation groove 313 at the bottom of the evaporator 43, and then flow to the outside of the base 3 through the outlet 314 of the condensation groove 313.

[0099] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the dander filter 7 may not be provided between the two chambers 31 and the first end of the guide air duct 33, and only a spray device may be arranged, that is, the surface of the evaporator 43 is only cleaned through the spray pipe 81, and the dander filter 7 is not required to filter the dander in the air.

[0101] See also Figures 2 to 17 As shown, in some embodiments, the laundry treatment device further includes a soap box 36, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the base 3 and on one side of the two chambers 31 near the air inlet 311. When the base 3 is fixed above the top of the drum 2, the two chambers 31 are positioned directly above the top of the drum 2, and the soap box 36 can be located on one side of the top of the drum 2. In this case, the soap box 36 and the fan 5 are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the top of the drum 2, thereby fully utilizing the space in the top area of ​​the housing 1 and reducing the size of the laundry treatment device.

[0102] See also Figures 2 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the soap box 36 is retractably provided on the base 3. The soap box 36 can move in the front-to-back direction relative to the base 3, and then the box 1 can be pulled out from the front side of the base 3 to facilitate the addition of washing liquids such as detergent, softener or water.

[0103] In some embodiments, the dander filter 7 is arranged in the area between the soap box 36 and the two chambers 31, thereby making full use of the space in the top area of ​​the box body 1 for layout, making the structural layout more reasonable and compact.

[0104] In some embodiments, a cavity box 361 is provided at the bottom of the base 3. The cavity box 361 is provided on a side of the filter box 71 away from the two chambers 31. The front side of the cavity box 361 is open, and the soap box 36 is retractably provided inside the cavity box 361 and can be pulled out of or into the cavity box 361 through the front opening of the cavity box 361.

[0106] See also Figures 2 to 19 As shown, in some embodiments, the clothing processing device further includes a cleaning assembly 9, which is disposed between the soap box 36 and the lint filter 7. One end of the cleaning assembly 9 is fixed to the outer wall of the soap box 36 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the soap box 36. The other end of the cleaning assembly 9 extends into the lint filter 7 and abuts against the filter 72 inside the filter box 71. Whenever the soap box is pulled relative to the base 3 to add washing liquid, the soap box 36 can drive the cleaning assembly 9 to move synchronously relative to the base 3, so that the end of the cleaning assembly 9 extending into the lint filter 7 can repeatedly sweep the filter 72, removing lint attached to the filter 72, so that the filter 72 can be cleaned promptly and effectively, maintaining smooth ventilation of the filter 72, thereby ensuring the filtering effect of the filter 72 and the normal operation of the heat pump system.

[0107] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 9 is located on the air inlet side of the filter 72, with the air outlet side of the filter 72 facing the evaporator 43. One end of the cleaning assembly 9 extends into the interior of the filter box 71 through the side wall where the second opening 712 is located, and abuts against the side of the filter 72 facing the second opening 712. Therefore, the end of the cleaning assembly 9 extending into the interior of the lint filter 7 can abut against the side wall of the filter 72 on the air inlet side, thereby sweeping the side wall of the filter 72 on the air inlet side.

[0108] In some embodiments, the direction in which the soap box 36 is pulled out is consistent with the extending direction of the air inlet 311, the filter box 71, and the filter screen 72. Therefore, during the pulling out of the soap box 36, the end of the cleaning assembly 9 can maintain contact with the filter screen 72, thereby allowing the end of the cleaning assembly 9 to fully sweep the entire filter screen 72.

[0109] See also Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, a first slot 362 is defined on the side wall of the cavity 361 facing the filter box 71. The first slot 362 extends in an elongated strip, and its direction of extension aligns with the direction in which the soap box 36 is withdrawn. One end of the cleaning assembly 9 extends through the first slot 362 into the cavity 361, connecting to the outer wall of the soap box 36. Therefore, when the soap box 36 is withdrawn relative to the base 3, the cleaning assembly 9 can slide along the first slot 362, thereby sliding relative to the filter box 71 and the filter screen 72 to clean the filter screen 72.

[0110] See also Figures 10 to 19 As shown, in some embodiments, a baffle 713 is provided on the sidewall where the second opening 712 of the filter box 71 is located, and the second opening 712 is formed above the baffle 713. A second chute 714 is provided on the baffle 713. The second chute 714 extends in an elongated strip, and the extension direction of the second chute 714 is consistent with the extension direction of the filter box 71. One end of the cleaning component 9 extends through the second chute 714 into the interior of the filter box 71 to abut against the air inlet side of the filter screen 72. When the soap box 36 is pulled relative to the base 3, the cleaning component 9 can slide along the second chute 714, thereby allowing one end of the cleaning component 9 to slide inside the filter box 71 and sweep the filter screen 72.

[0111] In some embodiments, a separating rib 74 extends vertically within the filter cartridge 71. A notch 741 is defined on the separating rib 74, positioned opposite the second chute 714. The notch 741 is in direct communication with the second chute 714. Thus, one end of the cleaning assembly 9 can sequentially pass through the second chute 714 and the notch 741, resting against the filter screen 72. As the cleaning assembly 9 slides along the second chute 714, it repeatedly passes through the notch 741, preventing the separating rib 74 from obstructing the movement of the cleaning assembly 9 within the filter cartridge 71.

[0112] See also Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 9 includes a frame 91 and a brush head 92. One end of the frame 91 is connected to the outer wall of the soap box 36, and the other end of the frame 91 can sequentially pass through the first chute 362 and the second chute 714 and then extend into the interior of the filter box 71. The end of the frame 91 extending into the interior of the filter box 71 is spaced apart from the filter 72. The brush head 92 is disposed on the end surface of the frame 91 facing the filter 72, that is, the brush head 92 is disposed in the gap between the end of the frame 91 and the filter 72. The brush head 92 is made of a flexible material and is used to abut against the filter 72 and adhere closely to the filter 72. Therefore, when the soap box 36 is pulled relative to the base 3, the brush head 92 can repeatedly sweep the filter 72.

[0113] In some embodiments, the end portion of the skeleton 91 connected to the soap box 36 can be fixed to the outer wall of the soap box 36 by welding, screws, or snaps.

[0114] In some embodiments, the frame 91 includes an integrally connected transverse arm 911 and longitudinal arm 912. One end of the transverse arm 911 passes through the first chute 362 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the soap box 36. The other end of the transverse arm 911 passes through the second chute 714 and extends into the interior of the filter box 71. The longitudinal arm 912 is located at the end of the transverse arm 911 that extends into the filter box 71. The longitudinal arm 912 extends vertically, with a gap between the longitudinal arm 912 and the filter screen 72. The brush head 92 is located on the end surface of the longitudinal arm 912 that faces the filter screen 72. When the soap box 36 is pulled relative to the base 3, the transverse arm 911 can slide along the first chute 362 and the second chute 714, repeatedly passing through the notch 741. At the same time, the longitudinal arm 912 can move in the gap between the separating rib 74 and the filter screen 72, and make the brush head 92 close to the surface of the filter screen 72 and repeatedly sweep and brush, thereby removing the hair debris on the surface of the filter screen 72. The hair debris can fall into the collection groove 73 inside the filter box 71 for regular cleaning.

[0115] In some embodiments, a plurality of brush heads 92 are provided, and the plurality of brush heads 92 are longitudinally arranged on the end surface of the longitudinal arm 912 facing the filter 72. The plurality of brush heads 92 can simultaneously contact different height areas of the filter 72 from top to bottom, thereby cleaning the entire surface of the filter 72.

[0117] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 8 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the cavity box 361 is detachably fixed to the bottom surface of the base 3, such as by snap fastening, screw fixing, etc. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the cavity box 361 can also be integrally formed on the bottom surface of the base 3.

[0118] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 8 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, a mounting groove 37 for mounting the filter box 71 is recessed on the base 3. The mounting groove 37 is located on a side of the air inlet 311 away from the two cavities 31. The extension direction of the mounting groove 37 is consistent with the extension direction of the air inlet 311 and the filter box 71, and the mounting groove 37 is located in the area between the two cavities 31 and the soap box 36.

[0119] In some embodiments, one end of the mounting groove 37 is open and exposed at the edge of the base 3. The filter box 71 is retractably arranged in the mounting groove 37, and the filter box 71 can be pulled out or loaded from the open end of the mounting groove 37.

[0120] See also Figure 11 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, a third slot 371 is defined on the sidewall of the mounting slot 37 near the soap box 36. The third slot 371 communicates with the interior of the mounting slot 37. The third slot 371 extends in the same direction as the filter box 71, i.e., the direction in which the soap box 36 is withdrawn. One end of the cleaning assembly 9 extends through the third slot 371 into the mounting slot 37 and the filter box 71, where it abuts against the air inlet side of the filter screen 72. When the soap box 36 is withdrawn relative to the base 3, the lateral wall of the cleaning assembly 9 slides along the third slot 371.

[0121] Based on the above technical solution, the embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages and positive effects:

[0122] In the clothing processing device of the embodiment of the present invention, the two cavities 31 on the base 3 are utilized to arrange the condenser 42 and evaporator 43 of the heat pump system in the two cavities 31; the lint filter 7 arranged on the air inlet side of the two cavities 31 is utilized to filter the air entering the two cavities 31 to remove impurities such as lint and tiny particles in the air. At the same time, the soap box 36 is used to cooperate with the cleaning component 9. When the soap box 36 is pulled out, the cleaning component 9 can be driven to move relative to the filter 72, so that the end of the cleaning component 9 that is in contact with the filter 72 can repeatedly sweep the filter 72 to remove impurities such as lint attached to the filter 72, so that the filter 72 can be cleaned in a timely and effective manner, and the ventilation of the filter 72 is kept smooth, thereby ensuring the filtering effect of the filter 72 and the normal operation of the heat pump system.
