For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

In the absence of more restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the product or system including the elements.

[0041] In existing clothing processing equipment that uses water-cooled drying, a filter is set in the drying duct to filter hair debris, but the filter needs to be cleaned manually, the cleaning process is complicated, the cleaning is not timely, and the flow rate of the drying airflow is low; due to the unreasonable structural design of the condensation duct, the heat exchange between the drying airflow and the condensed water is insufficient, resulting in low condensation efficiency and incomplete dehumidification.

[0042] The present invention creatively provides a condensing device for a clothes processing device, the clothes processing device comprising a clothes processing drum; the condensing device comprises a condensing shell and a spiral module, the lower end of the condensing shell is formed with a condensing air inlet, the upper end is formed with a condensing air outlet and a condensing water inlet, and a condensing air duct is formed inside; the spiral module comprises a rotating shaft and a spiral piece arranged in the condensing air duct, and the rotating shaft and the spiral piece are both arranged close to the condensing air inlet; there are two rotating shafts, both of which extend from top to bottom and are arranged adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction; there are two spiral pieces, which correspond to each other one by one and are spirally arranged on two rotating shafts in opposite directions; at the adjacent part of the two rotating shafts, one spiral piece is arranged in the spiral groove formed by the other spiral piece;

[0043] When the two rotating shafts are controlled to rotate in opposite directions, the two spiral blades rotate, which can not only disturb the drying airflow in the condensation air duct, but also disperse the condensed water in the condensation air duct; thus, the heat exchange area between the drying airflow and the condensed water is increased and the heat exchange is more sufficient, thereby improving the condensation efficiency and enhancing the drying effect;

[0044] At the vicinity of the two rotating shafts, hair debris gradually gathers and is thrown out under the centrifugal action of the spiral blades. It then moves downward under the action of its own gravity and condensed water, and is then discharged through the condensation air inlet, achieving automatic cleaning of hair debris.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a condensing device for a clothes processing device, the clothes processing device includes a clothes processing drum, the clothes processing drum includes an outer drum, and the outer drum is formed with an air outlet and a drain port; the condensing device includes:

[0047] The condensation shell 1 has a condensation air inlet 11 formed at its lower end and a condensation air outlet 12 formed at its upper end; a condensation air duct 14 connecting the condensation air inlet 11 and the condensation air outlet 12 is formed inside the condensation shell 1; the condensation air inlet 11 is used to input the drying air flow in the outer cylinder into the condensation air duct 14, and the condensation air outlet 12 is used to discharge the drying air flow in the condensation air duct 14; specifically, the drying air flow in the outer cylinder can enter the condensation air duct 14 through the outer cylinder air outlet and the condensation air inlet 11, flow from bottom to top in the condensation air duct 14, and then be discharged through the condensation air outlet 12; a condensation water inlet is also formed at the upper end of the condensation shell 1, and a condensation water inlet pipe 13 is arranged at the condensation water inlet, and the condensation water inlet pipe 13 is used to transport condensed water into the condensation air duct 14; the condensed water moves from top to bottom in the condensation air duct 14, and can enter the outer cylinder through the condensation air inlet 11 and the outer cylinder air outlet, and then be discharged through the drain outlet; the condensed water and the drying air flow can exchange heat in the condensation air duct 14;

[0048] The spiral module 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 and a spiral piece 22, both of which are arranged in the condensation air duct 14 and are arranged near the condensation air outlet 12; two rotating shafts 21 are provided, both of which extend from top to bottom and are arranged adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction; both rotating shafts 21 can be controlled to rotate and rotate in opposite directions; two spiral pieces 22 are provided, the two spiral pieces 22 correspond to each other one by one and are spirally arranged on the two rotating shafts 21, and the rotation directions of the two spiral pieces 22 are opposite; at the adjacent part of the two rotating shafts 21, one spiral piece 22 is arranged in the spiral groove 222 formed by the other spiral piece 22; specifically, the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably arranged in the condensation air duct 14 through the bracket 31;

[0049] When the two rotating shafts 21 are controlled to rotate, the two spiral blades 22 rotate, which can provide a spiral upward force to the drying airflow in the condensation air duct 14, and play a turbulent role on the drying airflow to adjust the flow rate of the drying airflow, and can also provide a centrifugal force to the condensed water in the condensation air duct 14, and play a role in breaking up the condensed water to adjust the flow rate of the condensed water; so that the heat exchange area between the drying airflow and the condensed water is increased, the heat exchange time is prolonged, and the heat exchange is more sufficient, thorough and uniform, so that the condensed water can take away the water vapor in the drying airflow, thereby improving the condensation efficiency, enhancing the drying effect, and shortening the drying time;

[0050] At the adjacent part of the two rotating shafts 21, the hair scraps are sucked in and move upward and gradually gather. When the amount of hair scraps gathered increases, they are thrown out under the centrifugal action of the spiral blades 22, and then move downward under the action of their own gravity and condensed water, and then discharged through the condensation air inlet 11, the outer cylinder air outlet and the drain port, so as to realize automatic cleaning of hair scraps and avoid hair scraps accumulation;

[0051] In the drying process of the clothes treatment equipment, the condensation process and the dander cleaning process promote each other;

[0052] Among them, the red arrow is the direction of dandruff movement, the gray arrow is the direction of condensed water movement, and the dotted arrow is the direction of drying air flow movement.

[0053] The rotation speed of the rotating shaft 21 can be adjusted according to the parameters of the drying air flow and / or the parameters of the condensed water; wherein the parameters of the drying air flow include one of the temperature and flow rate of the drying air flow, and the parameters of the condensed water include one of the temperature and flow rate of the condensed water;

[0054] The rotation speed of the rotating shaft 21 can adapt to the parameters of the drying airflow and / or the parameters of the condensed water, thereby improving the control accuracy of the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 21 and solving the problems of poor hair cleaning effect and insufficient heat exchange between the drying airflow and the condensed water caused by inappropriate rotation speed of the rotating shaft 21.

[0055] Furthermore, each spiral sheet 22 includes a plurality of spiral segments 221 sequentially arranged spirally along the extending direction of the corresponding rotating shaft 21, each spiral segment 221 surrounds the corresponding rotating shaft 21, and a spiral groove 222 is formed between two adjacent spiral segments 221;

[0056] At the adjacent positions of the two rotating shafts 21, the spiral segments 221 of one spiral sheet 22 and the spiral segments 221 of another spiral sheet 22 are arranged alternately in the vertical direction;

[0057] When the two rotating shafts 21 are controlled to rotate, the pressure is small at the adjacent position of the two rotating shafts 21, and the drying airflow flows to this position, and the hair scraps are squeezed and transported upward, so that the hair scraps are gradually gathered, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the hair scraps.

[0058] The cleaning efficiency of the hair scraps is related to the structure of the condensation air duct 14 and the structure of the gap between the two rotating shafts 21. From top to bottom, the flow area of ​​the condensation air duct 14 gradually decreases;

[0059] A channel is formed between the two rotating shafts 21 at the adjacent parts thereof; the flow area of ​​the channel gradually decreases from top to bottom; when the drying airflow flows through the condensation duct 14, the light hair debris gathers and increases in weight under the action of the spiral blades 22, and is thrown toward the side wall of the condensation duct 14 under the centrifugal action, and moves along the side wall of the condensation duct 14 to the condensation air inlet 11, making the cleaning of hair debris more thorough and efficient.

[0060] In order to increase the amount of hair debris collected during the rotation of the spiral blade 22, the present embodiment proposes that the two rotating shafts 21 are both inclined relative to the vertical direction, and the distance between the two rotating shafts 21 decreases from top to bottom;

[0061] During the rotation of the spiral blade 22, the hair debris flows into the channel and moves upward under the action of the spiral blade 22, so that the amount of hair debris gathered increases, the speed of hair debris settling downward is increased, and the speed of hair debris cleaning is increased.

[0062] According to the material of the clothes to be dried and the amount of dander in the drying airflow, at least two spiral blades 22 can be spirally arranged on each rotating shaft 21, and at least two spiral blades 22 have the same rotation direction, so that more dander can move to the channel and gather, thereby improving the efficiency of cleaning dander.

[0063] In order to avoid jamming of the two rotating shafts 21 during rotation, the present embodiment proposes that at least one of the rotating shaft 21 and the spiral piece 22 is made of an elastic material; preferably, the spiral piece 22 is made of an elastic material with a smooth surface, which can avoid jamming of the rotating shaft 21 during rotation and improve the service life and flexibility of the spiral piece 22.

[0064] In order to make the dispersion space of condensed water larger in the condensation air duct 14, a condensation water inlet is provided at the upper end of the adjacent part of the two rotating shafts 21, and the condensation water inlet can transport condensed water to the adjacent part of the two rotating shafts 21; the condensed water is dispersed to different positions of the condensation air duct 14 under the centrifugal action of the spiral blades 22, thereby increasing the heat exchange area between the condensed water and the drying airflow in the condensation air duct 14.

[0065] This embodiment proposes the following two control methods for the driving mode of the two rotating shafts 21:

[0066] ① Both rotating shafts 21 can be controlled to rotate independently. The spiral module 2 also includes two driving motors 23. The two driving motors 23 are both arranged outside the condensation shell 1 and are arranged one-to-one with the two rotating shafts 21. The output shaft of the driving motor 23 is drivingly connected to one end of the corresponding rotating shaft 21. When the driving motor 23 is running, it can drive the corresponding rotating shaft 21 to rotate. The speed of the two rotating shafts 21 can be adjusted. The speed of the two rotating shafts 21 can be flexibly adjusted according to the condensation requirements to expand the application range of the condensation component.

[0067] ② The two rotating shafts 21 can be controlled to rotate in conjunction, and the two rotating shafts 21 are connected by a transmission mechanism; when one of the two rotating shafts 21 is controlled to rotate, the other of the two rotating shafts 21 can be rotated under the action of the transmission mechanism; the structure is compact and occupies a small space; specifically, the spiral module 2 also includes a driving motor 23 and a transmission mechanism, the driving motor 23 and the transmission mechanism are both arranged on the outside of the condensation shell 1, and the transmission mechanism includes two externally meshed gears, and the two gears are connected to the two rotating shafts 21 in a one-to-one corresponding manner; the output shaft of the driving motor 23 is drivingly connected to one of the two gears; when the driving motor 23 is running, the two gears rotate and the rotation directions are opposite, so that the two rotating shafts 21 rotate and the two spiral sheets 22 rotate.

[0068] In summary, when the two rotating shafts 21 are controlled to rotate, the two spiral blades 22 rotate, which can provide a spiral upward force to the drying airflow in the condensation air duct 14 and disturb the drying airflow, and can also provide a centrifugal force to the condensed water in the condensation air duct 14 and disperse the condensed water; the heat exchange area between the drying airflow and the condensed water is increased, the heat exchange time is prolonged, the heat exchange is more sufficient, thorough and uniform, the condensation efficiency is improved, the drying effect is enhanced, and the drying time is shortened;

[0069] At the adjacent part of the two rotating shafts 21, hair debris is sucked in and moves upward and gradually gathers. When the amount of hair debris gathered increases, it is thrown out under the centrifugal action of the spiral blades 22, and then moves downward under the action of its own gravity and condensed water, and is then discharged through the condensation air inlet 11, realizing automatic cleaning of hair debris.

[0070] An air guide shell 32 is also provided at one end of the rotating shaft 21 close to the condensation air outlet 12 . The air guide shell 32 forms an air guide structure, which can guide the dry airflow in the condensation air duct 14 to the condensation air outlet 12 so that the dry airflow can be discharged smoothly through the condensation air outlet 12 .

[0071] Example 2

[0072] Different from the first embodiment, the two rotating shafts 21 are parallel to the vertical direction, and at least one of the two rotating shafts 21 is in an inverted cone shape; thus, the flow area of ​​the channel gradually decreases from top to bottom;

[0073] During the rotation of the spiral blade 22, the hair debris flows into the channel and moves upward under the action of the spiral blade 22, so that the amount of hair debris gathered increases, the speed of hair debris settling downward is increased, and the speed of hair debris cleaning is increased.

[0074] Example 3

[0075] Different from the first embodiment, the outer contour of at least one of the two spiral sheets 22 is in the shape of an inverted cone; thus, the flow area of ​​the channel gradually decreases from top to bottom;

[0076] During the rotation of the spiral blade 22, the hair debris flows into the channel and moves upward under the action of the spiral blade 22, so that the amount of hair debris gathered increases, the speed of hair debris settling downward is increased, and the speed of hair debris cleaning is increased.

[0077] Example 4

[0078] Different from the first embodiment, the pitch of at least one of the two spiral sheets 22 gradually decreases from top to bottom; thus, the flow area of ​​the channel gradually decreases from top to bottom;

[0079] During the rotation of the spiral blade 22, the hair debris flows into the channel and moves upward under the action of the spiral blade 22, so that the amount of hair debris gathered increases, the speed of hair debris settling downward is increased, and the speed of hair debris cleaning is increased.

[0084] The first spiral side wall 223 is formed with a condensate main groove and a condensate branch groove, and the condensate main groove extends spirally along the first spiral side wall 223; one end of the condensate branch groove is connected to the condensate main groove, and the other end of the condensate branch groove extends radially outward from the corresponding spiral sheet 22; there are multiple condensate branch grooves, and the multiple condensate branch grooves are arranged at intervals along the first spiral side wall 223; the condensate main groove and the condensate branch groove are open on one side toward the upper end of the condensation shell 1; the condensed water can flow from top to bottom along the condensate main groove, and the condensed water in the condensate main groove can flow out through the condensed water branch groove, so that the condensed water is at different positions of the condensation air duct 14, so that the dispersion space of the condensed water in the condensation air duct 14 is larger, and the heat exchange area between the condensed water and the drying airflow in the condensation air duct 14 is increased;

[0085] The second spiral side wall 224 is formed with a main rib and a branch rib, the main rib is formed by the second spiral side wall 224 protruding toward the lower end of the condensation shell 1, and the main rib extends spirally along the second spiral side wall 224; the branch rib extends from the radial inner side to the radial outer side of the corresponding spiral sheet 22, and a plurality of branch ribs are provided, and the plurality of branch ribs are spaced apart along the second spiral side wall 224; the drying airflow is dispersed to different positions of the condensation duct 14 under the action of the main rib and the branch rib, so that the dispersion space of the drying airflow in the condensation duct 14 is larger, thereby increasing the heat exchange area between the condensed water and the drying airflow in the condensation duct 14.
