[0056] Existing multi-drum washing machines can only achieve single-drum steam care, with a single steam care mode that cannot meet different steam care needs; to achieve multi-drum steam care, the required steam care system structure is complex and the control process is cumbersome.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention creatively provides a garment processing device, including garment processing drums 1, a drying system, and a steam care component. N garment processing drums 1 are provided, each forming an air inlet and an air outlet. The drying system forms a main air inlet duct 21, a main air outlet duct 31, N branch air inlets, and N branch air outlets. The main air inlet duct 21 forms N main air inlet outlets and one main air inlet, and the main air outlet duct 31 forms N main air outlet inlets and one main air outlet. The N main air inlet outlets and N air inlets are connected one-to-one through the N branch air inlets, and the N main air outlet inlets and N air outlets are connected one-to-one through the N branch air outlets.

[0058] The drying system includes a two-phase assembly and a fan 81. The two-phase assembly is used to dehumidify and heat the drying airflow, and the fan 81 is used to provide power to the drying airflow.

[0059] The steam care assembly includes a steam generator 61 and a steam pipe 62; the steam pipe 62 connects the steam generator 61 to a main air inlet duct, a main air outlet duct, or an intermediate air duct, allowing the steam generator 61 to supply steam to each garment processing drum 1; or,

[0060] The steam care assembly includes a steam generator 61 and steam piping; the steam piping includes a main steam pipe 63 and N branch steam pipes 64. The main steam pipe 63 has one main steam pipe inlet and N main steam pipe outlets; the main steam pipe inlet is connected to the steam generator 61, and the N main steam pipe outlets and N garment processing drums 1 are connected one-to-one through the N branch steam pipes 64, so that the steam generator 61 can supply steam to each garment processing drum 1; where N is a positive integer and N≥2;

[0061] With a simple structure and small footprint, the steam pipes 62 and steam pipelines can be flexibly arranged to enable individual care of any garment treatment cylinder 1 and simultaneous care of N garment treatment cylinders 1, solving the problems of complex structure and cumbersome control process in existing steam care systems.

[0062] Specifically, the sidewall of the main air inlet duct 21 has N main air inlet outlets and one main air inlet, and the sidewall of the main air outlet duct 31 has N main air outlet inlets and one main air outlet.

[0063] The two-evapor assembly includes a two-evapor box 82, which forms two-evapor chambers; two evaporators 83 are arranged inside the two-evapor chambers; a fan 81 forms a fan chamber, which is connected to the two-evapor chambers and forms an intermediate air duct 4; a fan 81 is arranged inside the fan chamber; the two evaporators 83 include an evaporator and a condenser, which are arranged sequentially along the flow direction of the drying airflow, the evaporator dehumidifies the drying airflow, and the condenser heats the drying airflow.

[0064] Example 1

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, a main air outlet 31 has a main air outlet steam port 314 formed on its side wall. A steam pipe 62 connects the steam generator 61 and the main air outlet steam port 314. The steam generator 61 can supply steam to the main air outlet 31 through the steam pipe 62 and the main air outlet steam port 314. The steam in the main air outlet 31 can enter the corresponding clothing processing drum 1 through N branch air ducts and the corresponding main air outlet inlet.

[0066] To address the issue of complex component structures required to deliver steam to each garment processing drum 1, this embodiment proposes that the drying system further include an air outlet distribution assembly, which includes an air outlet distribution shell 3 and an air outlet baffle 5. The air outlet distribution shell 3 forms a main air outlet duct 31, and the air outlet baffle 5 is rotatably disposed within the main air outlet duct 31, and the air outlet baffle 5 divides the main air outlet duct 31 into a first chamber 341 and a second chamber 342.

[0067] The first cavity 341 can be connected to the main air outlet steam port 314 and one or N main air outlet inlets. The first cavity 341 is a steam cavity.

[0071] Specifically, the main air outlet duct 31 has a cylindrical structure; the air outlet baffle 5 includes an air outlet baffle shaft 51, a first air outlet baffle 52, and a second air outlet baffle 53. The air outlet baffle shaft 51 is rotatably disposed at the axis of the air outlet splitter shell 3; the first air outlet baffle 52 and the second air outlet baffle 53 are spaced apart along the circumference of the air outlet baffle shaft 51 on the outer peripheral wall of the air outlet baffle shaft 51, and both the first air outlet baffle 52 and the second air outlet baffle 53 extend radially along the air outlet splitter shell 3.

[0072] The air outlet baffle shaft 51 is controlled to rotate, so that the first air outlet baffle 52 and the second air outlet baffle 53 are only arranged around the outside of the steam inlet 314 of the main air outlet duct. In this case, the drying airflow in the N clothes processing drums can all enter the second chamber 342; or they are only arranged around the outside of one main air outlet duct inlet. In this case, the air outlet baffle 5 acts as a seal for the main air outlet duct inlet; or they are only arranged around the outside of N main air outlet duct inlets. In this case, the air outlet baffle 5 acts as a seal for the N main air outlet duct inlets; or they are arranged around the outside of the steam inlet 314 of the main air outlet duct and one main air outlet duct inlet. At this time, the main air outlet steam port 314 and the main air outlet inlet are connected through the first cavity 341. Steam can enter the first cavity 341 through the main air outlet steam port 314, and then enter the corresponding clothing processing drum through the main air outlet inlet; or it can be arranged around the outside of the main air outlet steam port 314 and the N main air outlet inlets. At this time, the main air outlet steam port 314 and the N main air outlet inlets are connected through the first cavity 341. Steam can enter the first cavity 341 through the main air outlet steam port 314, and then enter the corresponding clothing processing drum through the N main air outlet inlets.

[0073] The drying system includes an air inlet and air distribution assembly, which includes an air inlet and air distribution shell 2 and an air inlet baffle.

[0088] To address the issue of complex component structures required to deliver steam to each garment processing drum, this embodiment proposes that the drying system further include an air inlet and air distribution assembly, which includes an air inlet and air distribution shell 2 and an air inlet baffle. The air inlet and air distribution shell 2 forms a main air inlet channel 21, and the air inlet baffle is rotatably disposed within the main air inlet channel 21, dividing the main air inlet channel 21 into a third chamber and a fourth chamber.

[0089] The third chamber can be connected to the steam inlet of the main air inlet and one or N main air inlet outlets. The third chamber is a steam chamber. Steam can enter the steam chamber through the steam inlet of the main air inlet, and then enter the corresponding clothing processing drum through the one or N main air inlet outlets.

[0090] The fourth chamber can be connected to the main air inlet 213 and the outlet of other main air inlets. The fourth chamber is the drying airflow chamber. The drying airflow can enter the drying airflow chamber through the inlet 213 of other main air inlets and then be discharged through the outlet of the main air inlet.

[0091] Furthermore, the third chamber is only connected to the steam inlet of the main air inlet, and the third chamber is a closed chamber; steam can enter the closed chamber through the steam inlet of the main air inlet, and the steam in the closed chamber cannot enter the clothes processing drum; the fourth chamber is connected to N main air inlet outlets and main air inlet 213, and the drying airflow in the main air inlet 21 can enter the corresponding clothes processing drum through the main air inlet outlet and the branch air inlet.

[0096] The air inlet baffle is controlled to rotate, which can open any one of the main air inlet outlets or open all N main air inlet outlets, so that any one of the clothes processing drums can deliver drying airflow to the main air inlet 21 or N clothes processing drums can simultaneously deliver drying airflow to the main air inlet 21.

[0099] When the first and second air inlet baffles are only arranged outside the steam inlet of the main air inlet duct, the drying airflow in the drying airflow chamber can enter the first garment processing drum 11 and the second garment processing drum 12 through the first branch air inlet duct 22 and the second branch air inlet duct 23 respectively; when the first and second air inlet baffles are only arranged outside the outlet 211 of the first main air inlet duct, the drying airflow can enter the first garment processing drum 11 through the first branch air inlet duct 22; when the first and second air inlet baffles are only arranged outside the outlet 212 of the second main air inlet duct, the drying airflow can enter the second garment processing drum 12 through the second branch air inlet duct 23.
