[0027] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0028] A self-circulating clothing care machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This embodiment provides a self-circulating clothing care machine, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, including:

[0030] The base 100 is disposed at the bottom of the clothing care machine and is used to support other structures; optionally, a steam generating module and a drying module are disposed in the base 100;

[0031] A hanger assembly 300, the hanger assembly 300 is at least used to support and hang the clothes to be washed on the upper side of the base 100;

[0032] A washing and care component, which is arranged on the upper side of the base 100 and is at least used to discharge steam to care for the clothes to be washed;

[0033] A circulation module is used at least to absorb the steam after clothing care into the clothing care machine, and discharge it after condensing and / or separating the water vapor.

[0034] By setting the circulation module, the steam after clothing care is absorbed into the clothing care machine for condensation and / or water vapor separation, and the moisture contained in the steam can be removed. Then, it can be discharged to avoid the humidity of the surrounding environment from rising, and it can also avoid affecting other devices, thereby improving the user experience. It should be understood that the other structure includes at least one of the hanger assembly 300, the washing and care assembly, and the circulation module.

[0035] As one example, the circulation module includes an air intake port 520, an air duct assembly, and a fan 600. The air intake port 520 is used to suck the steam after washing clothes into the interior of the clothing care machine; the air duct assembly is connected to the air intake port 520, at least for forming a circulating flow channel for the air intake port 520 to suck in steam, and / or for condensing steam; the fan 600 is at least used to form a negative pressure in the air duct assembly to provide power for the air intake port 520 to suck in steam and power for the circulation of steam. Through the above arrangement, during the process of washing and caring for clothes to be washed, the steam after washing and caring for clothes can be absorbed into the interior of the clothing care machine through the air intake port 520, and the moisture therein can be separated and collected, thereby preventing a large amount of moisture carried in the steam from diffusing into the surrounding environment and affecting other surrounding objects, thereby improving the user experience.

[0036] As an optional example, the circulation module also includes a condensation component (not shown in the drawings) and an air outlet 610, wherein the condensation component is arranged in the air duct component, and the condensation component is arranged between the air inlet 520 and the fan 600, and the condensation component is used to separate the water vapor from the inhaled steam, and the airflow after removing the water vapor is discharged through the air outlet 610. It should be understood that the air outlet 610 is arranged on the side of the fan 600 away from the condensation component, so as to facilitate the rapid discharge of gas. The condensation component can quickly realize the water vapor separation of steam, greatly reduce the temperature and humidity of the exhaust gas, thereby avoiding its impact on the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment, ensuring the stability of the surrounding environment of the clothing care machine when it is working, and improving the user experience. It should be noted that the condensation component can refer to the condensation structure used for water vapor separation in the prior art, such as the corresponding condensation structure on the dryer or other equipment, which will not be limited or repeated here.

[0037] As an example of the present invention, the air intake port 520 is disposed on the washing component and / or the hanger component 300 and / or the air duct component. Specifically, when the air intake port 520 is disposed on the washing component, it can be disposed on the upper side of the steam port 510 that sprays washing steam. Since the washing steam sprayed from the steam port 510 is relatively light, it rises after washing the clothes to be washed. Therefore, by disposing the air intake port 520 on the upper side of the steam port 510, the suction force provided by the fan 600 can be used to suck the clothes into the clothing care machine for circulation, thereby reducing its impact on the surrounding environment. When the air intake port 520 is disposed on the hanger component 300, the interior of the hanger component 300 is hollow, which is convenient for the suction and flow of steam. The air intake port 520 can be disposed on the hanger component. The hanger assembly 300 is provided at multiple positions, preferably at the lower side of the hanger assembly 300. During operation, other positions of the hanger assembly 300 are in contact with the clothes to be washed, which affects the inhalation of steam, and the lower side thereof is in a suspended state. The steam ejected from the steam port 510 enters the clothes to be washed and rises, and gathers at the lower side of the hanger assembly 300. The air inlet 520 is provided here so that a smaller negative pressure can be used to inhale the steam into the clothing care machine for processing. When the air inlet 520 is provided on the air duct assembly, it needs to be provided on the air duct assembly close to the upper side of the clothes to be washed, so as to facilitate the inhalation of the rising steam into the air duct assembly for processing. It should be noted that a plurality of air inlets 520 are provided to improve the steam absorption efficiency.

[0038] In another optional example, the fan 600 is disposed on the base 100 and / or the washing and protecting component and / or the air duct component. There may be one fan 600 or more than two fans. By disposing the fan 600, air can be drawn from the air duct component through the fan 600, thereby forming a negative pressure in the air duct component, which is convenient for the inhalation and condensation of steam.

[0039] As a preferred example, the fan 600 is a bidirectional fan, which is also used to supply air to the laundry through the air inlet 520. Supplying air to the laundry through the air inlet 520 can quickly cool down the laundry after care, and on the other hand, it helps to remove odors on the laundry, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0040] As one of the optional examples, a removable sewage tank 110 is provided on the base 100, and the sewage tank 110 is connected to the air duct assembly and is used to collect condensed water formed after the inhaled steam is condensed. The removable setting of the sewage tank 110 facilitates the user to clean the collected condensed water in time.

[0041] As one of the optional examples, the air duct assembly at least includes a top air duct 700, the top air duct 700 is arranged on the upper side of the washing and care assembly, and the hanger assembly 300 is arranged on the lower side of the top air duct 700. The top air duct 700 is used to support the hanger assembly 300 on the one hand, and can also be used to absorb the steam of the clothes after care on the other hand. Since it is located on the upper side of the hanger assembly 300, the clothes to be washed and care are located on the lower side of the top air duct 700 as a whole, that is, the steam of the clothes after care needs to pass through the top air duct 700 when rising. Therefore, the air intake 520 is arranged on the lower side of the top air duct 700 to absorb the steam of the clothes after care to the greatest extent, avoiding excessive impact on the surrounding environment; in some cases, the top air duct 700 is also used to set the fan 600, so as to provide a negative pressure for the air intake 520 on the hanger assembly 300 and / or the air intake 520 on the top air duct 700 to inhale the steam.

[0042] As an optional example, the washing and protecting assembly includes a vertical rail 200, a horizontal rail 400 and a washing and protecting plate 500, wherein the vertical rail 200 is fixedly arranged on the base 100, the horizontal rail 400 is movably arranged on the vertical rail 200, the washing and protecting plate 500 is arranged on the horizontal rail 400 and moves forward and backward along the horizontal rail 400, the washing and protecting plate 500 is used for caring for clothes, and at least a steam port 510 is arranged on the washing and protecting plate 500, and the steam port 510 is used to spray steam to the clothes to be washed and protected. It should be understood that at least a corresponding steam generating device is also arranged in the clothing care machine to provide steam to the washing and protecting plate 500, which will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that, as an example, a steam channel and / or a drying duct and / or a partial duct assembly is provided in the vertical rail 200, and the duct assembly is used for the circulation of inhaled steam and / or the discharge of condensed water, the drying duct is connected to the drying module, the steam channel is connected to the steam generating module, the drying duct and the steam channel are connected to the washing and protecting board 500, and are used to deliver the hot air generated by the drying module and / or the high-temperature steam generated by the steam generating module to the washing and protecting board 500, and use the washing and protecting board 500 to care for the clothes to be washed. Through the provision of the vertical rail 200, the height of the washing and protecting board 500 is adjustable, so that the washing and protecting board 500 can provide comprehensive care for the clothes to be washed during the up and down movement, and the provision of the horizontal rail 400 makes the distance between the washing and protecting board 500 and the clothes to be washed adjustable, thereby helping to ensure that the washing and protecting board 500 and the clothes to be washed maintain a stable distance, and avoid the situation where the distance is not appropriate and the clothing care effect is poor. In this example, the top air duct 700 is fixedly disposed at the top of the vertical rail 200, and the top air duct 700 is connected to the air duct assembly in the vertical rail 200, and is used to transport steam and / or condensed water to the sewage tank 110 through the vertical rail 200; when the air intake port 520 is disposed on the washing and protection assembly, the air intake port 520 is disposed on the washing and protection plate 500, and the air intake port 520 is disposed on the upper side of the steam port 510; when the fan 600 is disposed on the washing and protection assembly, the fan 600 is disposed on the horizontal rail 400, so as to provide negative pressure for the air intake port 520 disposed on the washing and protection plate 500, and to suck the steam into the air duct assembly disposed on the vertical rail 200 through the washing and protection plate 500. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, ①, ②, and ③ represent the available setting positions of the air inlet 520; Figure 2 , Figure 3 The circled positions indicate the available fan settings.

[0043] In one example, there is one washing and protecting plate 500, and the washing and protecting plate 500 can be flipped forward and backward or the front and rear sides of the washing and protecting plate 500 can be cared for independently, or there are two washing and protecting plates 500, and the two washing and protecting plates 500 move relative to each other synchronously. By setting one washing and protecting plate 500, only one washing and protecting plate 500 is needed to care for both sides of the clothes. When the washing and protecting plate 500 is on the front side of the clothes to be cared for, its care surface is flipped backward, or the care surface on the rear side is opened. When the washing and protecting plate 500 is on the rear side of the clothes to be cared for, its care surface is flipped forward, or the care device on the front side is opened, which can realize the smooth care of the clothes and save the setting cost of one washing and protecting plate 500, wherein the care surface refers to the side with the steam port 510. The synchronous relative motion means that the two washing and protecting plates 500 move synchronously in opposite directions. For example, when one washing and protecting plate 500 moves to the left, the other washing and protecting plate 500 moves to the right synchronously; when one washing and protecting plate 500 moves to the right, the other washing and protecting plate 500 moves to the left synchronously. Through this arrangement, the two washing and protecting plates 500 can be synchronously approached or moved away from each other, ensuring that the two washing and protecting plates 500 maintain an equal distance from the clothes to be washed during care, and can synchronously expand the distance between the two after the clothes care is completed, ensuring the care effect of the clothes. It should be noted that when two washing and protecting plates 500 are provided, the two washing and protecting plates 500 are arranged in parallel in the front-to-back direction.
