Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing processing, and in particular provides a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] Household electric washing machines are divided into pulsator washing machines, drum washing machines, and stirring washing machines. Household electric washing machines are driven by electric energy and rely on the mechanical action of the pulsator, drum, or stirring blades to wash clothes. With the development of society, washing machines have become common household appliances, and consumers' living standards have improved, and their personalized needs have been constantly updated. Consumers' requirements for washing machine functions are becoming more and more perfect, such as not only being able to wash clothes but also being able to dry clothes. Therefore, washing machines and dryers with drying functions have emerged and gradually become popular. Take the dryer as an example. The dryer puts the dehydrated clothes into the drum. During the rotation of the drum, dry hot air is input into the drum from the air inlet. The hot air contacts the wet clothes and takes away the moisture. The humid hot air is discharged through the exhaust port. The hot air circulates continuously in this way to achieve the effect of drying clothes. When the dryer is working, the rotation of the drum realizes the tumbling of the clothes, and a small amount of clothing lint will be generated in the drum and move with the air flow. In order to prevent lint from entering the air duct, the hot air circulation will pass through a filter to filter out debris in the air flow. The hot air will continue to pass through the clothes and blow onto the filter and then enter the air duct, and the lint will be blocked on the filter.

[0003] This method of filtering lint will cause lint accumulation and blockage over a long period of time, thereby reducing the flow of the drying airflow, prolonging the time required for drying, and affecting the user experience.

[0078] Preferably, please continue to see Figure 7 The lint filtering mechanism 12 also includes a second air gathering plate 127, which is arranged around the filter port 1211 and the upper half of the support frame 126, one side of the second air gathering plate 127 is connected to the blocking plate 125, and the other side of the second air gathering plate 127 is against the fixed plate 121.

[0079] By setting up the second wind gathering plate 127, and the second wind gathering plate 127 is set around the filter port 1211 and the upper part of the support frame 126, on the one hand, it can support the circulating air flow area 1112 to maintain a certain thickness, and on the second hand, it has a wind gathering effect, which can optimize the flow field of the drying airflow, so that all the drying airflow converges downward into the front air duct 2, avoiding the drying airflow from running in all directions.

[0080] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any limitation on the specific structure of the lint collection mechanism 14, as long as the lint collection mechanism 14 can collect lint normally. In actual applications, those skilled in the art can set the specific structure of the lint collection mechanism 14 according to actual needs.

[0081] In one embodiment, the lint collection mechanism 14 includes a collection box located in the filter area 1111, which is connected to the bottom area of ​​the fixed plate 121 and can be configured as a detachable connection (e.g., a snap connection) so that the collection box can be removed for cleaning. The top of the collection box has an opening and the bottom of the collection box is sealed.

[0085] Preferably, please continue to see Figure 6 The bottom area of ​​the mounting housing 11 is provided with a docking notch 113. When the thread dust filtering mechanism 12 and the mounting housing 11 are assembled, the collecting box abuts against the mounting housing 11 and fills the docking notch 113. This arrangement saves space and makes the appearance of the entire thread dust removing device 1 more beautiful.

[0086] Preferably, see Figure 5The bottom of the collection box is tilted toward the windward side wall of the mounting shell 11. The bottom of the collection box is tilted toward the windward side wall of the mounting shell 11, so that the collection box is tilted away from the air inlet of the front air duct 2, thereby preventing the accumulated lint in the collection box from affecting the flow of the drying airflow.

[0087] Preferably, see Figure 6 The collecting box is provided with a second vent hole 141 on the side wall away from the cylinder door. The collecting box is provided with a second vent hole 141 on the side wall away from the cylinder door, which can increase the ventilation area from the inner cylinder to the filter area 1111, thereby increasing the flow rate of the drying airflow entering the filter area 1111.

The limiting member is located in the limiting slide, and the end face of the limiting member abuts against the groove wall of the limiting slide, so that the brush of the cleaning brush plate 131 maintains contact with the filter screen in real time; the extension direction of the limiting slide is consistent with the rotation path of the limiting roller.

[0091] By setting a limit assembly, the cleaning brush plate 131 can be limited from bending or moving toward the windward side wall of the mounting shell 11, so that the brush of the cleaning brush plate 131 is in real-time contact with the filter screen, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning brush plate 131 during the rotation process.

[0092] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure of the driving assembly 132, as long as the driving assembly 132 can drive the first pivot shaft and the cleaning brush plate 131 to rotate.

One end of the pull rope 1321 is fixed to the first fixed wheel 1323, and the other end passes through multiple fixed pulleys 1322 and is fixed to the second fixed wheel 1324. There is no limitation on the number of fixed pulleys 1322 and the position of each fixed pulley 1322. As long as the pull rope 1321 can smoothly adjust its direction through multiple fixed pulleys 1322 so that its two ends are respectively connected to the first fixed wheel 1323 and the second fixed wheel 1324, and the pull rope 1321 can move smoothly, technical personnel in this field can set the number of fixed pulleys 1322 and the position of each fixed pulley 1322 according to actual needs.

[0095] The reset member 1325 is configured to store force when the cleaning brush plate 131 is subjected to force and rotates in the first direction, and can drive the cleaning brush plate 131 to rotate in the second direction and return to the first preset position after the cleaning brush plate 131 is no longer subjected to force;
