Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of clothing processing equipment, and more specifically, relates to a clothing care cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Garment care equipment is a machine that can dry clean, dry, and remove wrinkles from clothes. Common garment care equipment includes dry cleaning machines for dry cleaning, dryers for drying clothes, and garment care machines for removing wrinkles.

[0003] With the continuous advancement of garment care equipment technology, these devices are gaining popularity among more and more families. Currently, most garment care equipment uses a hot air circulation system to care for clothes, achieving functions such as drying and deodorizing. A hot air circulation system generally includes an air duct and a fan and dehumidifying / heating device installed within it. Air enters the duct through the return air inlet under the action of the fan, is dehumidified and heated by the dehumidifying / heating device, and then exits through the air outlet back into the garment care unit to care for the clothes. However, hot air circulation systems are not integrated, resulting in higher power requirements for the care equipment and the inability to achieve centralized processing. Furthermore, the use of ducts leads to issues such as low airflow, long drying times, and high costs.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a garment care cabinet. By setting up a dehumidification chamber, the dehumidification module is integrated into the dehumidification chamber, which reduces the power of the equipment and saves energy. Secondly, by centralizing the dehumidification process, the efficiency of the garment care cabinet is improved and production costs are saved.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a garment care cabinet, comprising,

[0007] Nursing cabinet shell;

[0008] A nursing compartment is located inside the nursing cabinet shell, and one side of the nursing compartment has an opening for storing and retrieving nursing garments;

[0009] A dehumidification chamber is located outside the nursing chamber;

[0010] The first channel is connected at one end to the nursing chamber and at the other end to the dehumidification chamber, and is used to introduce the moisture in the nursing chamber into the dehumidification chamber.

[0011] The second channel, with an air inlet at one end and an air outlet at the other end, is connected to the nursing chamber and is used to introduce dry air into the nursing chamber.

[0012] A moisture transfer unit is installed in the dehumidification chamber to absorb moisture in the dehumidification chamber and introduce dry air into the nursing chamber.

[0013] The moisture transfer component has:

[0014] The adsorption zone is used to adsorb moisture inside the dehumidification chamber. The adsorption zone is connected to the air outlet of the second channel to introduce dry air into the second channel.

[0015] The desorption zone is used to receive the moisture adsorbed in the adsorption zone and then discharge it.

[0016] Furthermore, the dehumidification chamber is located at the bottom of the nursing cabinet housing, outside the nursing cabinet housing.

[0017] Furthermore, the nursing cabinet housing is provided with a dehumidifying outer shell, and the dehumidifying outer shell has a dehumidifying chamber inside. The air outlet of the first channel and the air outlet of the second channel are provided on the dehumidifying outer shell and communicate with the nursing chamber.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a nursing chamber shell, which has a nursing chamber inside, and the opening is provided on one side wall of the nursing chamber shell;

[0019] The outer shell of the nursing chamber is provided with a first air inlet and a second air outlet, which are respectively connected to the air outlet of the first channel and the air outlet of the second channel.

[0020] Furthermore, the outer side of the outer shell of the nursing chamber is provided with an inwardly recessed clearance cavity, and the first air inlet and the second air outlet are disposed on the clearance cavity; the dehumidifying outer shell is disposed in the clearance cavity and is fitted to the inner wall of the clearance cavity.

[0021] Furthermore, the clearance recess is located on one side of the bottom wall adjacent to the opening on the outer shell of the nursing chamber, forming a stepped structure on the other side. The first air inlet is positioned facing the other side wall adjacent to the opening on the outer shell of the nursing chamber, and the second air outlet is located on the top wall of the clearance recess.

[0022] Alternatively, the recessed cavity is recessed inward and located behind the bottom wall opposite the opening on the outer shell of the nursing chamber, forming a stepped structure with the front of the bottom wall of the outer shell of the nursing chamber. The first air inlet is located facing the opening on the outer shell of the nursing chamber, and the second air outlet is located on the top wall of the recessed cavity.

[0023] Furthermore, the garment care cabinet also includes a third channel, one end of which is an air inlet connected to the air outlet side of the desorption zone, and the other end is an air outlet. The air outlet of the third channel is connected to the second air outlet of the outer shell of the care chamber.

[0024] Alternatively, the air outlet of the third channel is connected to the air inlet of the second channel.

[0025] Furthermore, the garment care cabinet also includes a condensation unit, which is disposed in the dehumidification chamber for condensing the moisture in the dehumidification chamber;

[0026] A condensate box, which can be pulled out, is installed on the dehumidification housing and the nursing chamber housing to collect condensate.

[0027] Furthermore, the dehumidifying outer shell and the nursing chamber outer shell have communicating inlets and outlets on the side wall facing the opening of the nursing chamber;

[0028] The condensate box is removably mounted on the dehumidification outer shell and the nursing chamber outer shell via the inlet and outlet, located above the first channel.

[0029] Alternatively, the dehumidifying shell, the care chamber shell, and the clothing care chamber have a connected inlet / outlet on the same side wall as the opening of the dehumidifying shell and the care chamber shell, and the condensate box is installed on the dehumidifying shell and the care chamber shell by being pulled out through the inlet / outlet.

[0030] Furthermore, the dehumidification chamber is also provided with a sealed chamber, the desorption zone is located inside the sealed chamber, and the adsorption zone is located outside the sealed chamber; the air inlet of the third channel is connected to the sealed chamber;

[0031] A circulating fan is installed outside the sealed chamber and inside the second channel to introduce the dehumidified air into the nursing chamber.

[0032] A heating unit is provided in the sealed chamber and is located on the air inlet side of the desorption zone for heating the desorption zone;

[0033] A regeneration fan is installed on the air outlet side of the desorption zone and connected to the air inlet of the third channel to discharge moisture from the desorption zone.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0035] (1) The present invention sets up a dehumidification chamber in the garment care cabinet and places the dehumidification chamber outside the care chamber, so that the dehumidification module is integrated in the dehumidification chamber, thereby reducing the power of the equipment and saving energy. Secondly, the efficiency of the garment care cabinet is improved and production costs are saved through centralized dehumidification.

[0036] (2) The present invention sets up an adsorption zone and a desorption zone in the moisture transfer component. The adsorption zone adsorbs the moisture discharged from the treatment chamber, and the desorption zone receives the moisture absorbed by the adsorption zone. This can concentrate a large volume of low-concentration water vapor into a small volume of high-concentration water vapor, and introduce dry air into the dehumidification chamber through the second channel. This prevents the moisture inside the care chamber from causing odors and bacteria and mold, reduces the investment and operating costs of the clothing care cabinet, and improves the treatment efficiency of moisture removal, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the clothing care cabinet.

[0037] (3) The present invention has a dehumidifying outer shell set at the bottom of the care cabinet shell, located outside the care chamber of the care cabinet shell. The dehumidifying chamber is set inside the dehumidifying outer shell. At the same time, a care chamber shell is set, and an inwardly recessed clearance cavity is set on the outside of the care chamber shell. The dehumidifying outer shell is set in the clearance cavity and fits against the inner wall of the clearance cavity, which improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the clothing care cabinet. At the same time, the dehumidifying outer shell and the care chamber shell are separated by the clearance cavity, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of the dehumidifying module.

[0038] (4) By setting the avoidance recess on the left and right sides of the bottom wall adjacent to the opening on the outer shell of the nursing chamber, and forming a left and right step structure with the other side of the bottom wall adjacent to the opening on the outer shell of the nursing chamber, or by setting the avoidance recess inward behind the bottom wall opposite to the opening on the outer shell of the nursing chamber, and forming a front and back step structure with the front of the bottom wall of the outer shell of the nursing chamber, the nursing chamber 2 has different heights of accommodating space, which can effectively realize the care of clothing of different lengths and sizes, and will not cause wrinkles to form at the bottom of the clothing, thus improving the care effect of the clothing.

[0039] (5) The present invention sets up a third channel, one end of which is connected to the sealed chamber and the other end is an air outlet. A condensation unit is set up on the third channel to convert the high concentration of water vapor in the desorption zone into condensate and dry gas, and then introduce the dry gas into the nursing chamber to prevent the nursing chamber from being damp and breeding odors, bacteria and mold. It also shortens the drying time and avoids the technical problem of water vapor leaving stains in the nursing chamber due to excessive drying time.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the clothing care cabinet of the present invention includes a care cabinet shell 1, a care chamber 2, a dehumidification chamber 3, a first channel 4, a second channel 5, and a moisture transfer component 7.

[0056] The nursing chamber 2 is located inside the nursing cabinet shell 1, and one side of the nursing chamber 2 has an opening 21 for storing and retrieving nursing garments.

[0057] The dehumidification chamber 3 is located inside the nursing chamber 2 and is used to dehumidify the nursing chamber.

[0058] One end of the first channel 4 is connected to the nursing chamber 2, and the other end is connected to the dehumidification chamber 3, which is used to introduce the moisture in the nursing chamber 2 into the dehumidification chamber 3.

[0059] The second channel 5 has an air inlet at one end and an air outlet 52 at the other end, which is connected to the nursing chamber 2 and is used to introduce dry air into the nursing chamber 2.

[0060] The moisture transfer component 7 is disposed in the dehumidification chamber 3 and is used to absorb the moisture in the dehumidification chamber 3 and introduce dry air into the nursing chamber 2.

[0061] The moisture transfer component 7 has an adsorption zone 71 and a desorption zone 72.

[0062] The adsorption zone 71 is used to adsorb the moisture inside the dehumidification chamber 3. The adsorption zone 71 is connected to the air inlet of the second channel 5 and is used to introduce dry air into the second channel 5.

[0063] The desorption zone 72 is used to receive the moisture adsorbed in the adsorption zone 71 and then discharge it.

[0064] This invention improves the application space of the garment care cabinet by setting a dehumidification chamber 3 in the garment care cabinet and integrating the dehumidification module in the dehumidification chamber 3. This reduces the power consumption of the equipment and saves energy. Furthermore, the centralized dehumidification process improves the efficiency of the garment care cabinet and saves production costs.

[0065] The moisture transfer component 7 is equipped with an adsorption zone 71 and a desorption zone 72. The adsorption zone 71 adsorbs the moisture discharged from the treatment chamber, and the desorption zone 72 receives the moisture absorbed by the adsorption zone 71. This process can concentrate a large volume of low-concentration water vapor into a small volume of high-concentration water vapor. The dry air is then introduced into the care chamber 2 through the second channel 5. This prevents the inside of the clothing treatment cabinet from becoming damp, which can breed odors, bacteria, and mold. It also reduces the investment and operating costs of the clothing treatment cabinet, improves the efficiency of moisture removal, and thus improves the drying efficiency of the clothing treatment cabinet.

[0066] Specifically, the moisture transfer component 7 includes a housing (not shown in the figure), and the housing has a receiving cavity (not shown in the figure). A rotating wheel 76 is rotatably supported in the receiving cavity. The receiving cavity includes an adsorption zone 71 and a desorption zone 72. The rotating wheel 76 has a position that reciprocates between the adsorption zone 71 and the desorption zone 72. After adsorbing moisture in the receiving cavity in the adsorption zone 71, the rotating wheel 76 rotates to the desorption zone 72 to detach.

[0067] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the dehumidification chamber 3 is located at the bottom of the nursing cabinet shell 1, outside the nursing chamber 2, within the nursing cabinet shell 1.

[0068] By placing the dehumidification chamber 3 at the bottom of the nursing cabinet shell 1, located inside the nursing cabinet shell 1 outside the nursing chamber 2, the dehumidification chamber 3 can be directly connected to the nursing chamber 2, improving the dehumidification effect of the dehumidification chamber 3 on the nursing chamber 2. At the same time, placing the dehumidification chamber 3 outside the nursing chamber 2 facilitates the flow of dry hot air discharged from the dehumidification chamber 3 from the bottom of the nursing chamber 2 into the nursing chamber 2. Utilizing the characteristic of hot air rising, it better dries the clothes in the nursing chamber 2, improving the dehumidification and drying effect on the clothes.

[0069] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the nursing chamber 2 is further provided with a dehumidifying shell 11, and the dehumidifying shell 11 has a dehumidifying chamber 3 inside. The air inlet of the first channel 4 and the air inlet 52 of the second channel 5 are provided on the dehumidifying shell 11 and communicate with the nursing chamber 2.

[0070] This invention improves the dehumidification effect of the garment care cabinet by setting a dehumidifying shell 11 inside the care chamber 2, with the dehumidifying chamber 3 located inside the dehumidifying shell 11. The air outlet 41 of the first channel 4 and the air inlet 52 of the second channel 5 are set on the dehumidifying shell 11 and connected to the care chamber 2. This achieves the most efficient air circulation in the garment care cabinet, allowing moisture in the care chamber 2 to directly enter the dehumidifying chamber 3 through the first channel 4, then pass through the adsorption area 71 of the moisture transfer component 7, and finally through the second channel 5 to introduce dry air into the care chamber 2, thereby achieving dehumidification and drying of the underwear in the care chamber 2.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the garment processing cabinet also includes a care chamber shell 12, which has a care chamber 2 inside, and the opening 21 is provided on one side wall of the care chamber shell 12.

[0072] The outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber is provided with a first air inlet 121 and a second air outlet 122, which are respectively connected to the air outlet 41 of the first channel 4 and the air outlet 52 of the second channel 5.

[0073] Specifically, the nursing cabinet shell 1 also includes a nursing chamber shell 12, which contains a nursing chamber 2. The opening 21 of the nursing chamber 2 is located on one side wall of the nursing chamber shell 12, allowing users to easily store or retrieve clothing from the nursing chamber 2 through the opening 21. Simultaneously, a first air inlet 121 and a second air outlet 122 are provided on the nursing chamber shell 12, respectively connected to the air outlet 41 of the first channel 4 and the air outlet 52 of the second channel 5. This facilitates the transfer of moisture from the nursing chamber 2 to the dehumidification chamber 3. Dry air is generated in the dehumidification chamber 3 and then discharged into the nursing chamber 2 through the first channel 4, the second channel 5, the first air inlet 121, and the second air outlet 122, thereby improving the drying effect on the nursing chamber 2.

[0074] When the garment care cabinet is in operation, moisture flows downwards and enters the dehumidification chamber 3 through the first air inlet 121 of the outer shell 12 of the care chamber and the first channel 4. This prevents moisture from accumulating at the bottom of the care chamber 2 and avoids the growth of odors, bacteria, and mold inside. At the same time, the air outlet 52 of the second channel 5 is connected to the second air outlet 122 on the outer shell 12 of the care chamber. The dried moisture is discharged from the second air outlet 122 and comes into direct contact with the garments. By utilizing the properties of dry air, the moisture is treated from the bottom of the garments, improving the dehumidification and drying efficiency of the garment care cabinet.

[0075] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, further, the outer side of the nursing chamber shell 12 is provided with an inwardly recessed relief cavity 13, and the first air inlet 121 and the second air outlet 122 are disposed on the relief cavity 13.

[0076] The dehumidifying outer shell 11 is disposed in the relief cavity 13 and is fitted to the inner wall of the relief cavity 13.

[0077] By providing an abutment recess 13 on the outside of the care chamber shell 12 and cooperating with the dehumidification shell 11, the abutment recess 13 is recessed inward, occupying at least a portion of the bottom of the care chamber shell 12, so that the interior of the care chamber shell 12 forms different heights, which facilitates the care chamber 2 to care for clothes of different lengths and improves the use effect of the clothing care cabinet. At the same time, separating the dehumidification shell 11 from the care chamber shell 12 facilitates the installation and maintenance of the dehumidification module.

[0078] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the clearance cavity 13 is disposed on the left and right sides of the bottom wall adjacent to the opening 21 on the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber, and forms a left and right stepped structure on the other side of the bottom wall adjacent to the opening 21 on the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber. The first air inlet 121 is disposed facing the other side wall adjacent to the opening 21 on the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber, and the second air outlet 122 is disposed on the top wall of the clearance cavity 13.

[0079] Specifically, in this application, the recessed cavity 13 occupies only a portion of the bottom of the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber, and the recessed cavity 13 is positioned on the side wall adjacent to the opening 21 of the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber. This creates a stepped structure on the left and right sides of the bottom wall adjacent to the opening 21 on the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber, resulting in different heights of accommodating space inside the nursing chamber 2. The height of the nursing chamber 2 on the top wall of the recessed cavity 13 is less than the height on the bottom wall of the nursing chamber 2. This effectively allows for the care of clothing of different lengths and sizes, preventing wrinkles from forming at the bottom of the clothing and improving the care effect of the clothing.

[0080] Meanwhile, the first air inlet 121 is positioned on the opposite side wall adjacent to the opening 21 of the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber, and the second air outlet 122 is positioned on the top wall of the relief cavity 13, so that the first air inlet 121 and the second air outlet 122 are connected to the air outlet 41 of the first channel 4 and the air outlet 52 of the second channel 5, respectively. The first air inlet 122 is positioned close to the bottom of the relief cavity 13, and the air outlet 41 of the first channel 4 is positioned closer to the bottom wall of the nursing chamber 2, thereby improving the efficiency of moisture entering the dehumidification chamber 3, preventing the accumulation of moisture on the bottom wall of the nursing chamber 2, preventing the formation of condensate, preventing the growth of bacteria and the generation of odors on the bottom wall of the nursing chamber 2, and improving the care effect of clothing and the efficiency of the equipment.

[0081] like Figures 7 to 8 As shown, in another embodiment, the recessed cavity 13 is recessed inward and disposed behind the bottom wall opposite to the opening 21 on the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber, forming a front and rear stepped structure with the front of the bottom wall of the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber. The first air inlet 122 is disposed facing the opening 21 on the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber, and the second air outlet 122 is disposed on the top wall of the recessed cavity 13.

[0082] Specifically, the recessed cavity 13 is recessed inward behind the bottom wall opposite to the opening 21 on the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber, forming a stepped structure with the front of the bottom wall of the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber. This allows the nursing chamber 2 to have different heights in the front-back direction, and the height of the nursing chamber 2 on the top wall of the recessed cavity 13 is less than the height on the bottom wall of the nursing chamber 2. This can effectively achieve the care of clothing of different lengths and sizes, prevent wrinkles from forming at the bottom of the clothing, and improve the care effect of the clothing.

[0083] Meanwhile, the first air inlet 121 is positioned facing the opening 21 on the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber, and the second air outlet 122 is positioned on the top wall of the relief cavity 13. The first air inlet 121 is positioned close to the bottom of the relief cavity 13 opposite to the opening 21, and the air outlet 41 of the first channel 4 is positioned closer to the bottom wall of the nursing chamber 2. This improves the efficiency of moisture entering the dehumidification chamber 3, avoids the accumulation of moisture on the bottom wall of the nursing chamber 2 to form condensate, prevents bacteria from growing on the bottom wall of the nursing chamber 2 and producing odors, and improves the care effect of clothing and the efficiency of the equipment.

[0084] Furthermore, a first sealing element 100 is provided at the connection between the first air inlet 121 on the outer shell 12 of the nursing chamber and the air outlet 41 of the first channel 4; a second sealing element 101 is provided at the connection between the second air outlet 122 and the air outlet 52 of the second channel 5, in order to prevent moisture from overflowing between the inner wall 13 of the clearance cavity and the outer wall of the dehumidifying outer shell 11 during moisture transfer, thereby improving the sealing performance of the equipment.

[0085] The diameter of the air outlet 52 of the second channel 5 is larger than that of the second air outlet 122, which increases the initial flow velocity of the air after processing and drying, and improves the drying efficiency of the nursing chamber 2.

[0086] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the dehumidification chamber 3 is further provided with a sealed chamber 31, the desorption zone 72 is located inside the sealed chamber 31, and the adsorption zone 71 is located outside the sealed chamber 31.

[0087] The dehumidification chamber 3 is equipped with a sealed housing (not shown in the figure), and the sealed chamber 31 is located inside the sealed housing.

[0088] The present invention provides a sealed chamber 31 within the dehumidification chamber 3, thereby placing the desorption zone 72 within the sealed chamber 31. This ensures that the moisture absorbed by the adsorption zone 71 in the desorption zone 72 will not leak, improving the sealing performance of the desorption zone 72 and increasing the efficiency of moisture removal, thus improving the drying efficiency of the garment care cabinet.

[0089] Another embodiment is that the housing has a sealed chamber 31, a partial dynamic seal of the rotating wheel 76 is disposed in the sealed chamber 31, the desorption zone 72 is disposed in the sealed chamber 31, and the adsorption zone 71 is disposed outside the sealed chamber 31; the air inlet of the third channel 6 is connected to the sealed chamber 31.

[0090] This invention provides a partially dynamic seal for the rotating wheel 76 within the sealed chamber 31, with the desorption zone 72 located within the sealed chamber 31 of the housing and the adsorption zone 71 located outside the sealed chamber 31 of the housing. This allows moisture in the adsorption zone 71 to be removed by the rotating wheel 76 rotating to the desorption zone 72, and the removed moisture to be sealed within the sealed chamber 31. This prevents moisture leakage into the second channel 5, thus reducing the efficiency of moisture removal and the drying efficiency of the garment care cabinet.

[0091] Furthermore, a heating unit 311 is also provided in the sealed chamber 31, which is located on the air inlet side of the desorption zone 72 and is used to heat the desorption zone 72.

[0092] The present invention provides a heating unit 311 on the sealed chamber 31, which continuously heats the desorption zone 72 to maintain the desorption zone 72 at a high temperature, thereby ensuring that the desorption zone 72 can continuously receive the moisture adsorbed in the adsorption zone 71 and improving the working efficiency of the desorption zone 72.

[0093] In addition, it also includes a circulating fan 51, which is located on the air outlet side of the adsorption zone 71 and is located in the dehumidification chamber 3.

[0094] Specifically, the circulating fan 51 is located outside the sealed chamber 31 and inside the second channel 5, and is used to introduce the dehumidified air into the nursing chamber 2.

[0095] The present invention provides a circulating fan 51 on the second channel 5, which drives the air in the second channel 5 to be quickly introduced into the processing chamber, thereby accelerating the airflow rate in the processing chamber, further improving the processing efficiency of moisture removal, and further improving the drying efficiency of the dishwasher.

[0096] Furthermore, the garment care cabinet also includes a third channel 6, one end of which is an air inlet (not shown in the figure) connected to the air outlet side of the desorption zone 72, and the other end is an air outlet (not shown in the figure). The air outlet of the third channel 6 is connected to the second air outlet 122 of the care chamber 2.

[0097] Alternatively, the air outlet of the third channel 6 is connected to the air outlet 52 of the second channel 5.

[0098] This invention, by setting a third channel 6 and connecting the air inlet of the third channel 6 to the air outlet of the desorption zone 72, allows moisture to escape from the desorption zone 72 after being heated by the heating unit 311 on the desorption zone 72, and enter the third channel 6. This avoids the moisture after high-temperature desorption being directly discharged into the dehumidification chamber 3, thus preventing the dehumidification effect of the dehumidification chamber 3 from being affected. At the same time, the other end of the third channel 6 is an air outlet, which is connected to the care chamber 2 or the second channel 5, so that the moisture desorbed in the desorption zone 72 can also achieve the heating effect in the sealed chamber 31, forming hot air, which is then discharged into the care chamber 2 by the circulating fan 51, improving the care efficiency of clothing and saving users' time.

[0099] Specifically, the air inlet of the third channel 6 is connected to the sealed chamber 31.

[0100] Furthermore, the moisture transfer component 7 includes a rotating wheel 76. The rotating wheel 76 can rotate cyclically between the adsorption zone 71 and the desorption zone 72. The rotating wheel 76 adsorbs moisture from the dehumidification chamber 3 in the adsorption zone 71, detaches it in the desorption zone 72, and discharges it through the third channel 6.

[0101] The garment care cabinet of the present invention is equipped with a rotating wheel 76 in the dehumidification chamber 3. The rotating wheel 76 in the adsorption zone 71 absorbs the moisture discharged into the dehumidification chamber 3 from the care chamber 2. Most of the water molecules are adsorbed by the rotating wheel 76. Then, the dry air is circulated back into the care chamber 2 to dry the care chamber 2. When the moisture is transferred to the desorption zone 72 by the rotation of the rotating wheel 76, the moisture is carried away by the wind in the third channel 6 to achieve dehumidification and prevent the garment care cabinet from becoming damp and breeding odors, bacteria and mold.

[0102] The concentration of moisture desorbed from desorption zone 72 can reach N times the concentration of moisture entering adsorption zone 71. Where 1 < N < 200.

[0103] The impeller 76 has the characteristics of low-temperature moisture absorption and high-temperature dehumidification.

[0104] The rotor 76 has a large specific surface area, various pore structures and pore size distributions, and rich surface properties, and has a strong adsorption capacity for water vapor.

[0105] In another embodiment, the moisture transfer component 7 further includes a cooling zone (not shown in the figure), and the rotating wheel 76 can rotate sequentially between the adsorption zone 71, the desorption zone 72, and the cooling zone to reduce the temperature in the cooling zone after passing through the desorption zone 72.

[0106] The cooling zone is externally connected to the moisture transfer component 7 to dissipate heat from the rotating wheel 76 within the cooling zone. Alternatively, the cooling zone is connected to a cooling channel (not shown in the figure) to reduce the temperature of the rotating wheel 76 within the cooling zone.

[0107] The cooling channel can be an external air intake from the housing 75 to cool the rotor 76, or a cooler can be installed inside the cooling channel to lower the temperature inside the cooling channel and cool the rotor 76.

[0108] Furthermore, the moisture transfer component 7 also includes a housing 75, which has a partition (not shown in the figure) inside, which divides the housing 75 into an adsorption zone 71, a desorption zone 72 and a cooling zone.

[0109] The rotating wheel 76 is rotatably supported in the housing 75, and the rotating wheel 76 is rotatably disposed in the adsorption zone 71, the desorption zone 72 and the cooling zone in sequence.

[0110] Preferably, the rotating wheel 76 is dynamically sealed to the housing 75.

[0111] The moisture transfer component 7 is arranged in a circumferential direction with an adsorption zone 71, a desorption zone 72, and a cooling zone to form multiple fan-shaped areas. The angle of the fan-shaped area where the adsorption zone 71 is located is greater than the angle of the fan-shaped areas where the desorption zone 72 and the cooling zone are located.

[0112] The positions of the adsorption zone 71, desorption zone 72, and cooling zone remain fixed, while the rotating wheel 76 rotates at a certain speed. The speed of the rotating wheel 76 is 0.01-60 r / min. Preferably, the speed of the rotating wheel 76 is 0.02-10 r / min.

[0113] Preferably, the angle of the adsorption zone 71 is an obtuse angle, and the angle between the desorption zone 72 and the cooling zone is an acute angle. The rotating wheel 76 is rotatably mounted via a transmission mechanism 73.

[0114] In addition, the moisture transfer component 7 also includes a transmission mechanism 73 and a motor 74.

[0115] Specifically, the transmission mechanism 73 is connected to the rotating wheel 76 and the motor 74, respectively. The transmission mechanism 73 is used to drive the rotating wheel 76 to rotate. The motor 74 is used to provide power for the rotation of the rotating wheel 76.

[0116] It should be noted that the rotating wheel 76 can be rotated by a motor 74 driving a transmission mechanism 73; or by a motor 74 directly driving the rotating wheel 76; or by a belt drive between the motor 74 and the rotating wheel 76; or by a gear drive between the motor 74 and the rotating wheel 76, etc.

[0117] The rotor 76 is at least partially made of a low-temperature moisture-absorbing and high-temperature moisture-removing material, and has a porous structure. The porous structure of the rotor 76 is arranged opposite to the adsorption zone 71, the desorption zone 72, and the cooling zone.

[0118] The housing 75 has an opening (not shown in the figure) that communicates with the cooling zone and is used to exchange heat with the outside atmosphere to reduce the temperature of the rotor 76 in the cooling zone. Alternatively, the housing 75 has an opening that communicates with a cooling channel.

[0119] Furthermore, the housing 75 is provided with a first inlet (not shown in the figure) and a first outlet (not shown in the figure) that communicate with the adsorption area 71, and are respectively connected to the first channel 43.

[0120] The housing 75 is provided with a second inlet (not shown in the figure) and a second outlet (not shown in the figure) that communicate with the desorption zone 72, and are respectively connected to the third channel 6.

[0121] Furthermore, the rotor 76 is a zeolite rotor 76, a silica gel rotor 76, a graphene rotor 76, or an activated alumina rotor 76.

[0122] Zeolite Rotor 76 (zeolite AmBpO2p·nH2O) is an aluminosilicate mineral containing alkali or alkaline earth metals. Its crystal structure typically consists of a framework nanocrystalline structure formed by silicon-oxygen tetrahedra and aluminum-oxygen tetrahedra, creating cavities of varying shapes and sizes. This allows for the selective adsorption and filtration of nonpolar / polar molecules smaller than the pore size. When humidity is high, zeolite can absorb moisture through its numerous tiny pores; conversely, it can release moisture to maintain humidity when the environment is dry. Furthermore, the temperature naturally adjusts in response to changes in ambient humidity.

[0123] Silicone roller 76 (silicone (mSiO2·nH2O), also known as silica gel).

[0124] Activated alumina rotor 76 (activated alumina, chemical formula Al2O3).

[0125] All of the impellers 76 have the characteristics of low-temperature moisture absorption and high-temperature dehumidification.

[0126] like Figure 1 As shown, the garment care cabinet also includes a condensation unit 62, which is disposed in the dehumidification chamber 3 and is used to condense the moisture in the dehumidification chamber 3.

[0127] Specifically, the condensation unit 62 is disposed in the dehumidification chamber 3 and located in the third channel 6. The condensation unit 62 is used to condense the moisture in the desorption zone 72 received by the third channel 6.

[0128] This application provides a third channel 6 inside the dehumidifying outer shell 11, with one end of the third channel 6 serving as an air inlet connected to the sealed chamber 31, and the other end as an air outlet. A condensation unit 62 is installed on the third channel 6 to convert the high-concentration water vapor in the desorption zone 72 into condensate and dry gas, which is then introduced into the care chamber 2. This prevents the inside of the garment care cabinet from becoming damp, causing odors, bacteria, and mold. It also shortens the drying time and avoids the technical problem of water vapor leaving stains inside the garment care cabinet due to excessively long drying times.

[0129] The air outlet of the third channel 6 is connected to the nursing chamber 2. The condensation unit 62 is located inside the dehumidification chamber 3.

[0130] The condensation unit 62 is provided with a drain pipe 63 and an exhaust pipe 64.

[0131] The drainage pipe 63 is used to connect with the drainage channel of the nursing chamber 2.

[0132] The exhaust pipe 64 is used to discharge condensed air.

[0133] This application connects the drainage pipe 63 to the drainage channel of the nursing chamber 2 and the exhaust pipe 64 to the nursing chamber 2, so that the gas with a small air volume and high concentration of water vapor is converted into condensate and dry gas, and then the dry air is discharged into the nursing chamber 2, which saves resources and avoids directly discharging moisture into the external environment.

[0134] Specifically, the air inlet side of the condensation unit 62 is connected to the air outlet side of the desorption zone 72, the air outlet of the condensation unit 62 is connected to one end of the exhaust pipe 64, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 64 is connected to the nursing chamber 2.

[0135] Alternatively, the air inlet side of the condensation unit 62 is connected to the air outlet side of the desorption zone 72, the air outlet side of the condensation unit 62 is connected to one end of the exhaust pipe 64, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 64 is connected to the second channel 5.

[0136] It should be noted that the drainage pipe 63 can also be directly connected to the drainage channel of the garment care cabinet, so that the condensate water can be discharged directly to the outside of the garment care cabinet without passing through the drainage channel of the care chamber 2.

[0137] like Figure 6 or Figure 8 As shown, the garment care cabinet further includes a condensate box 8, which is removable and mounted on the dehumidifying outer shell 11 and the care chamber outer shell 12, for collecting condensate.

[0138] The condensate box 8 can also be connected to the drainage channel or drainage pipe 63 of the nursing chamber 2, so that the condensate can be discharged directly through the drainage channel or drainage pipe 63 without the user having to pull it out.

[0139] Specifically, this application provides a condensate box 8 inside the garment care cabinet, and the condensate box 8 is removable from the dehumidifying shell 11 and the care chamber shell 12. This allows users to easily remove the collected condensate from the dehumidifying shell 11 and the care chamber shell 12, draining the condensate from the condensate box 8. This prevents the condensed water from accumulating inside the care chamber 2, thus preventing the care chamber 2 from becoming damp and breeding odors, bacteria, and mold.

[0140] Furthermore, the dehumidifying outer shell 11 and the nursing chamber outer shell 12 have communicating inlets and outlets (not shown in the figure) on the side wall of the opening 21 facing the nursing chamber 2.

[0141] The condensate box 8 is removably mounted on the dehumidification shell 11 and the nursing chamber shell 12 via the inlet and outlet, located above the first channel 4.

[0142] Alternatively, the dehumidifying shell 11, the nursing chamber shell 12, and the nursing chamber 2 may have a connected inlet and outlet on the same side wall as the opening 21 of the nursing chamber 2, and the condensate box 8 may be pulled out and installed on the dehumidifying shell 11 and the nursing chamber shell 12 via the inlet and outlet.

[0143] This application improves the space utilization of the garment care chamber 2 by providing a connecting inlet and outlet on the side wall of the dehumidifying shell 11 and the care chamber shell 12 facing the opening 21 of the care chamber 2, and by making the condensate box 8 removable and detachable on the dehumidifying shell 11 and the care chamber shell 12 through the inlet and outlet. The position of the condensate box 8 above the first channel 4 improves the compactness of the dehumidifying module. Alternatively, the condensate box 8 can be placed on the same side wall as the opening 21 of the care chamber 2 for easy removal and removal by the user.

[0144] like Figure 1 As shown, a regeneration fan 61 is also provided in the sealed chamber 31, which is located on the air outlet side of the desorption zone 72 and is connected to the air inlet of the third channel 6, for discharging moisture from the desorption zone 72.

[0145] The regeneration fan 61 is installed in the dehumidification chamber 3, and the heating unit 311, the regeneration fan 61 and the impeller 76 are dynamically sealed or nearly dynamically sealed.

[0146] In this embodiment, a regeneration fan 61 is also provided on the third channel 6 to allow a small amount of regeneration air to pass through, so that the moisture in the desorption zone 72 is discharged from the air outlet of the third channel 6, thus avoiding residual moisture in the desorption zone 72.

[0147] The regeneration fan 61 is used to move the hot air in the third channel 6, carry away the moisture in the desorption zone 72, and discharge it from the air outlet of the third channel 6 after passing through the condensation unit 62.

[0148] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the nursing chamber 2 of this application is provided with a hanging structure 10 for hanging clothes to be cared for, or the nursing chamber 2 is provided with a partition (not shown in the figure) on which the clothes to be cared for can be placed.

[0149] The two ends of the suspension structure 10 are connected to the side walls of the nursing chamber 2, allowing for the hanging of clothing. In this application, one end of the suspension structure 10 is rotatably fixed to the side wall of the nursing chamber 2, while the other end is retractably and detachably connected to the side wall of the nursing chamber 2. This allows it to extend and be fixed inside the nursing chamber 2 during use, and to shorten and fold back onto the side wall of the nursing chamber 2 when not in use. This application does not limit the fixing method of the suspension structure 10 within the nursing chamber 2; it can also be moved vertically within the nursing chamber 2 to accommodate clothing of different sizes.

[0150] In this application, a door structure (not shown in the figure) is provided on the top or side wall of the nursing chamber 2, which can be opened to place or remove clothing from the nursing chamber 2.

[0151] The door structure can be configured to open single or double doors. When opened, clothing can be removed from the nursing chamber 2; when closed, the nursing chamber 2 is sealed. This application can incorporate a sealing structure at the opening and closing points of the door structure and the nursing chamber 2 to improve the dehumidification and drying effect of the nursing chamber 2.

[0152] The garment care cabinet of this invention also includes a humidity sensor (not shown in the figure) and a lint filter (not shown in the figure). The humidity sensor is installed in the care chamber 2 or the first channel 4 to detect the air humidity. Based on the detected humidity, the dehumidification of the care chamber 2 is controlled.

[0153] The lint filter is disposed in the nursing chamber 2 or the first channel 4 for filtering lint.

[0154] The air inlet 41 of the first channel 4 is connected to the lint filter to prevent lint in the nursing chamber 2 from clogging the first channel 4.

[0155] like Figure 1 As shown, the garment care cabinet also includes an air outlet duct 9, which is connected to the outside of the garment care cabinet and is used to expel odors from the care chamber 2.

[0156] An air outlet duct 9 is installed on the garment care cabinet and connected to the outside of the garment care cabinet. When the garment care cabinet works for a long time, the air outlet duct 9 will exhaust the air inside the care cabinet to the outside of the care cabinet and exhaust the gas in the care chamber 2, so as to achieve the effect of direct odor exhaust, improve the practicality of the equipment, and solve the problem that the existing technology does not introduce an air outlet duct 9 into the care chamber 2, which causes the clothes to develop odors after long-term use.

[0157] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced.
