[0061] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0062] In the related art, integrated washer-dryers offer many advantages over traditional laundry machines, such as space and time savings. However, due to their complex structure and functionality, these devices place higher demands on their design and manufacturing. To ensure optimal performance, designers often install separate spray nozzles on these devices to clean dirt from the door glass and door seals, thereby minimizing the impact on the washing and drying process.

[0063] However, with the trend of miniaturization of home appliances, adding a separate spray nozzle will take up extra space in the washer-dryer, which is not conducive to the compact design of the washer-dryer.

[0064] In order to solve the above technical problems, an air outlet component 1 of a washing device is provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0065] In some embodiments, the air outlet component 1 of the washing device mainly includes an air flow channel 10 and a water flow channel 20 .

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the air flow channel 10 can have an air inlet 11, an air flow channel 12 and an air outlet 13, and the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 13 can be respectively located at the two ends of the air flow channel 12, and the water flow channel 20 can have a water inlet 21, a water flow channel 22 and a water outlet 23, and the water inlet 21 and the water outlet 23 can be respectively connected to the water flow channel 22.

[0067] The water flow channel 20 can be connected to the air flow channel 10, such as Figure 4 As shown, the water outlet 23 can be located on the air flow channel 10, or, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the water outlet 23 may also be located in the air flow channel 10 .

[0068] In this embodiment, the water flow channel 20 is connected to the air flow channel 10, which reduces the space occupied by the water flow channel 20 within the washing machine 100. Compared with related technologies, especially in integrated washing and drying machines, the need to create a separate space for a spray structure may increase the size of the washing machine or restrict its layout. The present disclosure makes the entire washing machine 100 more compact and efficient, meeting the current trend of miniaturization of household appliances.

[0069] The washing device 100 disclosed herein may be a drying machine, a washing machine, a washer-dryer, etc., which are not specifically limited here. In the following embodiments, a washer-dryer is used as an example for explanation.

[0070] It can be understood that the air outlet 13 of the air flow channel 10 can face the clothing storage area of ​​the washing device 100, and the air flow channel 10 can transport air to the clothing storage area of ​​the washing device 100. The position of the water outlet 23 of the water flow channel 20 can face the door seal and / or door glass of the washing device 100, and the water flowing out through the water outlet 23 of the water flow channel 20 can flow to the door seal 110 and / or door glass of the washing device 100. In this way, the water in the water flow channel 20 is discharged through the water outlet 23 to the door seal 110 and / or door glass of the washing device 100 to flush or clean them.

[0071] In some embodiments, the water flow channel 20 can be arranged in the air flow channel 10, and the water discharged through the water outlet 23 of the water flow channel 20 passes through the air outlet 13 and then discharged to the door seal and / or door glass of the washing device 100.

[0072] However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the water flow channel 20 can also be arranged outside the air flow channel 10, and the water outlet 23 of the water flow channel 20 and the air outlet 13 of the air flow channel 10 share the same space, that is, the water discharged through the water outlet 23 of the water flow channel 20 can also pass through the air outlet 13 and then be discharged to the door seal and / or door glass of the washing device 100.

[0073] In the related art, some washing machines are usually provided with an air flow channel that can provide air circulation in order to speed up the drying speed and effect of clothes. The air flow channel heats the air and circulates it in the washing machine through a fan, which can quickly remove moisture from the surface of the clothes and provide hot air to accelerate evaporation inside the clothes.

[0074] In order to ensure the drying effect, the air flow channel needs to have excellent ventilation performance to ensure smooth air flow and effectively remove moisture, while providing enough hot air for the clothes to promote the drying process.

[0075] In the present disclosure, the air flow channel 10 can be made of materials such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or fiberglass. These materials have good high-temperature resistance and can meet the requirements for hot air to flow through the air flow channel 10. However, the present disclosure does not specifically limit the type of material used for the air flow channel 10. In other words, those skilled in the art can adjust the type according to actual conditions, as long as the requirement for hot air to flow through the air flow channel 10 is met.

[0076] In the present disclosure, the water flow channel 20 may also be made of materials such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or fiberglass. The high-temperature resistance can also ensure that the water flow channel 20 is not affected by the heat energy emitted by the air flow channel 10. However, the present disclosure does not specifically limit the type of material used for the water flow channel 20. In other words, those skilled in the art can adjust the type according to actual circumstances, as long as the water flow channel 20 is not affected by the heat energy emitted by the air flow channel 10.

[0077] In some embodiments, the air flow channel 10 may include a first shell 14 , which may form an air flow channel 12 and may include a shell wall 142 . The water flow channel 20 may include a second shell 143 , which may be connected to the first shell 14 .

[0078] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first housing 14 can form an airflow channel 12. The openings at both ends of the first housing 14 can serve as an air inlet 11 at one end and an air outlet 13 at the other end. The first housing 14 has a housing wall 142. It is understood that the housing wall 142 can form a completely enclosed enclosure on the first housing 14. In other words, in this disclosure, any housing that forms a closed enclosure for airflow can be considered the first housing 14.

[0079] The second housing 143 can be connected to the first housing 14, and the second housing 143 can form a water flow channel 22 together with at least a portion of the housing wall 142. In other words, in the present disclosure, for the purpose of water flow, the housing that can be formed together with at least a portion of the housing wall 142 of the first housing 14 for water flow can be regarded as the second housing 143.

[0080] In the first possible case, if Figure 3 or Figure 10 or Figure 13 As shown, the second shell 143 can be connected to the inner side of the shell wall 142 of the first shell 14 , and the second shell 143 can form a water flow channel 22 together with at least a portion of the inner side of the shell wall 142 of the first shell 14 , and the water outlet 23 can be set inside the first shell 14 .

[0081] In the second possible case, if Figure 4 As shown, the second shell 143 can also be connected to the outer side of the shell wall 142 of the first shell 14, and the second shell 143 can also form a water flow channel 22 together with at least a portion of the outer side of the shell wall 142 of the first shell 14, and the water outlet 23 can also pass through the outer shell wall 142 of the first shell 14 and be set inside the first shell 14.

[0082] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other possible cases, such as Figure 23As shown, the second shell 143 can also be connected to the outer side of the shell wall 142 of the first shell 14, and the second shell 143 can also form a water flow channel 22 together with at least a portion of the outer side of the shell wall 142 of the first shell 14, and the water outlet 23 can also be connected to the shell wall 142 of the first shell 14 outside the first shell 14.

[0083] It should be understood that the present disclosure does not specifically limit the specific configuration of the water channel 22. The above description is merely an example of how the water channel 22 may be formed or exist, and is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiment. Any configuration is acceptable as long as the water channel 22 is connected to the air channel 12, i.e., the first housing 14 is connected to the second housing 143. In other words, as long as this condition is met, those skilled in the art can adjust the specific configuration of the water channel 22 and the air channel 12 based on actual circumstances.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figures 2 to 3 、 Figures 8 to 10 or Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the water flow channel 22 may include a first water flow channel 221 and a second water flow channel 222 that are connected to each other. The water inlet 21 may be located in the first water flow channel 221 , and the water outlet 23 may be located in the second water flow channel 222 .

[0085] It can be understood that the first water flow channel 221 can be located outside the wind flow channel 12, and the second water flow channel 222 can be located inside the wind flow channel 12. Through the above setting, the water source can be connected through the water inlet 21, and the water introduced from the water source can enter the second water flow channel 222 through the water inlet 21, and then can be discharged through the water outlet 23.

[0086] In some embodiments, the extension direction of the second water channel 222 may be the same as the extension direction of the wind channel 12 .

[0087] It should be noted that the air flow channel 12 can extend toward the direction where the clothes in the washing machine 100 are located, such as Figure 3 As shown, the extension direction of the second water flow channel 222 can be the same as the extension direction of the air flow channel 12, or it can extend toward the direction where the clothes in the washing device 100 are located. Through the above setting, the air flow channel 12 and the second water flow channel 222 can produce a synergistic effect to enhance the treatment effect on the clothes.

[0088] For example, the second water channel 222 can spray water onto the door seal or door glass, while the air channel 12 can help evenly distribute the water sprayed from the second water channel 222 onto the door seal or door glass surface. The coordinated use of the second water channel 222 and the air channel 12 can enhance the self-cleaning effect of the washing machine 100.

[0089] In some embodiments, the second shell 143 and the shell wall 142 may form a second water flow channel 222 .

[0090] In a possible case, the second shell 143 and the shell wall 142 can form a closed channel, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second shell 143 can form a rectangular connection port together with the shell wall 142 of the first shell 14, so as to be connected to the connection ports of the receiving air outlet 13 and the water outlet 23 in the washing device 100. This arrangement can reduce the manufacturing cost of the water flow channel 20 and further reduce the space occupied by the water flow channel 20.

[0091] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In another possible case, Figure 23 As shown, the second housing 143 can also form an irregular shape together with the shell wall of the first housing 14. As long as it can be connected to the connection port of the receiving outlet 13 and the water outlet 23 in the washing device 100, the second housing 143 can form a mutually compatible shape together with the shell wall 142 of the first housing 14. This disclosure does not specifically limit the structural shape formed by the second housing 143 and the first housing 14, that is, those skilled in the art can adjust it according to actual circumstances.

[0092] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, in the cross section of the air flow channel 10 , at least one short side of the air flow channel 10 is connected to the second shell 143 .

[0093] It is understood that the cross-section of the airflow channel 10 may include relatively long sides and relatively short sides, wherein the second housing 143 may be connected to the relatively short sides. For example, in one possible embodiment, the cross-section of the airflow channel 10 may be rectangular, with a long side and a short side. In this case, the second housing 143 may be connected to the short side of the airflow channel 10.

[0094] With this arrangement, the second shell 143 and the air flow channel 10 can share the same structural inlet of the washing device 100, thereby reducing the number of air flow inlets or water flow inlets required on the washing device 100 to achieve the drying function and the spraying function.

[0095] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, the water outlet 23 and the air outlet 13 may be located in the same plane.

[0096] In this embodiment, the water outlet 23 can be isolated from the air outlet 13 to ensure that the air flow channel 10 is not affected by the residual moisture in the water outlet 23 during ventilation. In other words, when the air flow channel 10 circulates hot air, the efficiency of providing hot air to the clothes will not be affected by the residual moisture in the water outlet 23.

[0097] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the shell wall 142 may include a first shell wall 142-1 and a second shell wall 142-2 connected to each other, the second shell 143 may form a second water flow channel 222 together with the first shell wall 142-1, the second shell 143 may include a connecting portion 1430 connected to the first shell wall 142-1, and the second shell wall 142-2 may be integrated with the connecting portion 1430.

[0098] It should be noted that the second housing 143 and the first housing wall 142-1 are integrally connected, achieving a seamless connection between the second water channel 222 and the air flow channel 10. This prevents eddies or disturbances in the water flow at the interface between the two, ensuring smooth water flow and avoiding the risk of water leakage at the connection. Furthermore, the integral connection simplifies component assembly and facilitates manufacturing.

[0099] In some embodiments, the second water flow channel 222 may extend in a direction intersecting with an extending direction of the wind flow channel 12 .

[0100] The extension direction of the air flow channel 12 can be a first direction, and the direction intersecting the first direction can be a direction forming an angle with the first direction. In one possible scenario, the extension direction of the second water flow channel 222 can be a second direction, and the second water flow channel 222 can extend in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the air flow channel 12, that is, the angle between the extension direction of the second water flow channel 222 and the extension direction of the air flow channel 12 is 90 degrees. With this arrangement, the width or number of the water outlets 23 in the second water flow channel 222 can be increased to achieve a variety of spray effects.

[0101] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In another possible case, the extension direction of the second water channel 222 may also be set at other angles with the extension direction of the wind channel 12 , and those skilled in the art may adjust the angles according to actual conditions.

[0102] In some embodiments, the shell wall 142 may be provided with a first opening 141 , and water in the first water flow channel 221 may flow to the second water flow channel 222 through the first opening 141 .

[0103] like Figure 16As shown, one side of the first opening 141 can be communicated with the first water flow channel 221 , and the other side can be communicated with the second water flow channel 222 . Water in the first water flow channel 221 can flow to the second water flow channel 222 through the first opening 141 .

[0104] In some embodiments, the second shell 143 may form a second water flow channel 222 together with at least a portion of the shell wall 142 .

[0105] like Figure 9 or Figure 12 or Figure 15 As shown, the second shell 143 and at least part of the shell wall 142 share the wall body of the second water flow channel 222, that is, one side wall body of the second water flow channel 222 comes from the second shell 143, and the other side wall body comes from the shell wall 142 of the air flow channel 10. This structure can achieve a seamless connection between the second water flow channel 222 and the air flow channel 10, and the two are isolated by the same shell wall 142. At the same time, since one side wall body of the second water flow channel 222 comes from the shell wall 142 of the air flow channel 10, this can reduce the number of components, reduce manufacturing difficulty and cost. With this arrangement, the sharing of the second shell 143 and the shell wall 142 can make the structure of the air outlet component 1 of the entire washing device more compact.

[0106] In some embodiments, the housing wall 142 may include a third housing wall 142-3 and a fourth housing wall 142-4 disposed opposite to each other, and a fifth housing wall 142-5 and a sixth housing wall (not shown) located between the third housing wall 142-3 and the fourth housing wall 142-4. The first opening 141 is disposed in the third housing wall 142-3.

[0107] In one possible embodiment, the cross-section of the first housing 14 can be rectangular, the third housing wall 142-3 can be one short side of the rectangle, the fourth housing wall 142-4 can be the other short side of the rectangle, and the fifth housing wall 142-5 and the sixth housing wall can be the two long sides connecting the third housing wall 142-3 and the fourth housing wall 142-4, respectively. In other words, the third housing wall 142-3 and the fourth housing wall 142-4 are the two short sides of the rectangle at opposite corners, and the fifth housing wall 142-5 and the sixth housing wall are the two long sides of the rectangle.

[0108] In another possible case, the cross-section of the first shell 14 can be a trapezoid, the fifth shell wall can be one long side (bottom side) of the trapezoid, the sixth shell wall can be another long side (top side) of the trapezoid, the third shell wall can be a non-parallel side connecting the fifth shell wall and the sixth shell wall, and the fourth shell wall can be another non-parallel side connecting the fifth shell wall and the sixth shell wall. That is to say, the fifth shell wall and the sixth shell wall can be the two long sides of the trapezoid, and the third shell wall and the fourth shell wall can be the two non-parallel sides of the trapezoid.

[0109] In summary, the fifth and sixth shell walls can be the two long sides of the first shell 14, and the third and fourth shell walls can be the two short sides or non-parallel sides connecting the long sides. The first opening 141 can be provided on the third shell wall to smoothly introduce water from the outside of the first shell 14 into the first shell 14.

[0110] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other possible cases, the cross-section of the first shell 14 may also be circular, the third shell wall may be a portion of the arc edge of the circle, occupying approximately 1 / 4 of the circumference, the fourth shell wall may be another portion of the arc edge of the circle, symmetrical with the third shell wall, also occupying approximately 1 / 4 of the circumference, the fifth shell wall may be a portion of the arc edge connecting the third shell wall and the fourth shell wall, occupying approximately 1 / 4 of the circumference, and the sixth shell wall may be another portion of the arc edge connecting the third shell wall and the fourth shell wall, symmetrical with the fifth shell wall, also occupying approximately 1 / 4 of the circumference. The circular first shell 14 may also be divided into four equal shell walls, which are structurally similar to the four walls of a rectangular shell.

[0111] In other words, the third shell wall and the fourth shell wall can be located on a radial line of a circle, and the fifth shell wall and the sixth shell wall can be located on another radial line of the circle. The first opening 141 can be provided on the third shell wall for introducing water flow.

[0112] However, the present disclosure does not specifically limit the shape of the cross section of the first shell 14 , that is, those skilled in the art may adjust the specific shape of the first shell 14 according to actual conditions.

[0113] In some embodiments, the second shell 143 may include a connected first part 1431 and a second part 1432, the first part 1431 may be arranged opposite to the fifth shell wall 142-5, the second part 1432 may be arranged opposite to the air outlet 13, the water outlet 23 may be located in the first part 1431, and / or, the water outlet 23 may also be located in the second part 1432.

[0114] like Figures 8 to 10 Specifically, the bottom and one side surface of the second water channel 222 are formed by the second shell 143, while the remaining side surfaces can be formed by the third shell wall 142-3, the fourth shell wall 142-4, and the fifth shell wall 142-5 of the first shell 14. Utilizing the second shell 143 itself simplifies the second water channel 222 and also achieves a seamless connection between the two channels.

[0115] The water outlet 23 can be located only in the first portion 1431, allowing the water to flow directly toward the housing wall 142 and then flow downward along the housing wall 142, thus guiding the water flow. Alternatively, the water outlet 23 can be located only in the second portion 1432, allowing the water to flow directly toward the air outlet 13. Furthermore, the water outlet 23 can be located in both the first portion 1431 and the second portion 1432, enabling bidirectional water flow and diversified spraying.

[0116] In this embodiment, the shell wall 142 shared by the second shell 143 has a larger area, which can reduce the component structure of the second shell 143 itself, further reuse the structure of the shell wall 142, and reduce the space occupied by the structure.

[0117] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 As shown, at least a portion of the third shell wall 142 - 3 , at least a portion of the fourth shell wall 142 - 4 , the fifth shell wall 142 - 5 and the second shell body 143 together form the second water flow channel 222 .

[0118] It is understandable that the second shell 143 , part of the third shell wall 142 - 3 and part of the fourth shell wall 142 - 4 together form the second water flow channel 222 , which can be closed without affecting the air flow of the air flow channel 10 .

[0119] In some embodiments, the second shell 143 may further include a third part 1433 connected to the second part 1432. The third part 1433 may be arranged opposite to the first part 1431. At least part of the third shell wall 142-3, at least part of the fourth shell wall 142-4 and the second shell 143 together form a second water flow channel 222.

[0120] like Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the third part 1433 can be arranged opposite to the second part 1432, the first side surface of the second water flow channel 222 is formed by the first part 1431, the bottom surface of the second water flow channel 222 is formed by the second part 1432, and the second side surface of the second water flow channel 222 opposite to the first side surface is formed by the third part 1433. The third shell wall 142-3 and the fourth shell wall 142-4 of the second shell 143 are connected to the first side surface, the second side surface and the bottom surface to form the second water flow channel 222.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first housing 14 may be provided with a filter element 40 . The filter element 40 may be connected to the housing wall 142 . At least a portion of the filter element 40 may be provided as the second housing 143 .

[0122] It is understandable that the filter element 40 can be connected to the surrounding shell walls 142 or part of the shell walls 142 of the first shell 14, and the second water flow channel 222 is formed by the filter element 40 and the shell walls above the filter element 40. The filter element 40 can face the door seal 110 and / or door glass of the washing device 100. The filter element 40 may include one or more through holes (not shown), and the through holes may be configured as water outlets 23. With this configuration, the water flowing through the filter element 40 is discharged in the form of a "small stream". It is understandable that the water in the water flow channel 20 will form a plurality of relatively small water flows through the filter element 40, and then the plurality of relatively small water flows will flush the door seal 110 and / or door glass of the washing device 100 as they flow downward.

[0123] Among them, the filter element 40 can be a structure with filtering performance such as a filter mesh, a filter element, a sponge, etc., but the present disclosure does not specifically limit the type of the filter element 40, that is, technical personnel in this field can adjust its type according to actual conditions, as long as the filter element 40 can filter foreign matter and allow water to seep out.

[0124] In the above embodiment, water flows through the water outlet 23 to rinse the door seal 110 of the washing device 100 and / or the door glass, such as foam, paper scraps, hair and other dirt remaining thereon, so as to keep the washing device 100 clean.

[0125] In some embodiments, the second housing 143 may extend from outside the first housing 14 into the first housing 14 through the first opening 141 .

[0126] like Figures 17 to 19 As shown, the second housing 143 can be a pipe. It can be a circular or square pipe, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can adjust the type according to actual circumstances. The second housing 143 extends into the interior of the first housing 14 through the first opening 141. The water outlet 23 is located on the portion of the second housing 143 within the first housing 14. Water entering the second housing 143 through the air inlet 11 flows out of the first housing 14 and out through the air outlet 13.

[0127] Moreover, in this embodiment, the water inlet 21, the water flow channel 22 and the water outlet 23 can be an integrally formed pipe body.

[0128] By adopting an integrated design, on the one hand, the connection between the water inlet 21 and the water flow channel 22 is made tighter, which reduces possible sealing gaps and thus improves the sealing performance of the entire water flow channel 20, thereby helping to prevent water leakage.

[0129] On the other hand, the one-piece molding can eliminate the weak points of traditional connection methods (such as threads, welding, etc.). In contrast, the one-piece molding structure is more solid and firm, can withstand greater water pressure, and improves the strength and durability of the water flow channel 20.

[0130] On the other hand, the one-piece molding can reduce the number of parts and steps in the assembly process of the water flow channel 20, thereby simplifying the production process, helping to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and reduce potential failure points.

[0131] In this embodiment, the second water flow channel 222 can be isolated from the airflow in the airflow channel 10 to prevent the airflow from disturbing the water flow. At the same time, the second water flow channel 222 acts as a closed pipe to ensure that the water does not leak into areas outside the airflow channel 10, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of water resources.

[0132] In some embodiments, as Figure 19 As shown, the air outlet component 1 of the washing device may further include a seal 30 . The seal 30 may be disposed at the first opening 141 . The seal 30 may be located between the first shell 14 and the second shell 143 .

[0133] In this embodiment, the seal 30 can be disposed between the first housing 14 and the second housing 143 to seal the joint between the first housing 14 and the second housing 143. This can stably secure the water flow channel 20 within the air flow channel 10 while also preventing the circulating air within the air flow channel 10 from being affected.

[0134] The seal 30 can be made of materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane, or metal, which have excellent sealing properties. However, this disclosure does not specifically limit the type of seal 30, and those skilled in the art may adjust the type based on practical circumstances. Any seal 30 may be used as long as it can seal the junction between the water flow channel 20 and the air flow channel 10.

[0135] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the second shell 143 can be arranged on the outside of the shell wall 142, and a second opening (not shown) can be provided on the second shell 143. The water outlet 23 can be provided on the shell wall 142, and the water flowing out of the second opening can flow into the air flow channel 12 through the water outlet 23.

[0136] In this embodiment, the second housing 143 is disposed on the outside of the housing wall 142, that is, the second housing 143 is disposed on the outside of the second housing 143. The second opening on the second housing 143 is connected to the water outlet 23. Water flowing out of the second opening can flow into the air flow channel 12 through the water outlet 23 and then be discharged outward through the air outlet 13 of the air flow channel 12. This allows the second water flow channel 222 to not directly enter the air flow channel 10, but to be introduced from the outside. This achieves spatial reuse of the air flow channel 10 and the water flow channel 20 while also ensuring smooth airflow.

[0137] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the shell wall 142 may be provided with a recessed portion 50 recessed from the outer side of the shell wall 142 toward the inner side of the shell wall 142 , and the second shell 143 may be provided in the recessed portion 50 .

[0138] In this embodiment, the second shell 143 is arranged in the recessed portion 50, which can further reduce the space jointly occupied by the first shell 14 and the second shell 143. While the air flow channel 10 and the water flow channel 20 share the same space, the space occupied by the structures of the air flow channel 10 and the water flow channel 20 is minimized.

[0139] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the outer surface of the recessed portion 50 is in contact with the outer surface of the second housing 143. In this way, the outer shell of the second housing 143 can compensate for the reduction in structural strength caused by the recessed portion 50.

[0140] In some embodiments, in a cross section of the airflow channel 10 , at least one long side of the airflow channel 10 is connected to a long side of the second housing 143 .

[0141] In this embodiment, the long side of the air flow channel 10 is connected to the long side of the second shell 143, so as to achieve greater spatial reuse. That is to say, through this arrangement, on the orthographic projection area of ​​the air outlet component 1 of the washing equipment, the orthographic projection area of ​​the air flow channel 10 and the orthographic projection area of ​​the water flow channel 20 can achieve greater overlap, thereby achieving greater spatial reuse.

[0142] In some embodiments, the water outlet 23 may face the direction of the air outlet 13 , or the water outlet 23 may face a direction intersecting with the direction of the air outlet 13 .

[0143] It is understood that, in one possible scenario, the water outlet 23 can be oriented toward the air outlet 13, and the direction of the water flowing out of the water outlet 23 can be substantially consistent with the direction of the airflow, so that the water can be directly carried away by the airflow and achieve good mixing with the airflow. This is suitable for scenarios where rapid mixing of water and airflow is required.

[0144] In another possible case, the direction of the water outlet 23 may be a direction intersecting with the direction of the air outlet 13 , that is, the direction of the water outlet 23 may form an angle with the air flow channel 10 .

[0145] This arrangement allows the water flowing out of the water outlet 23 to form a certain angle with the airflow discharged from the air outlet 13, playing the role of using the airflow to drive the water flow, so that the water flow can be more widely distributed, thereby making the water flowing out of the water outlet 23 more effective for cleaning. Compared with spraying water directly at the air outlet 13, this can avoid the water flow directly hitting the air outlet 13 and causing blockage, and can also make the water flow cover a wider area around the air outlet 13, improving the cleaning effect.

[0146] In some embodiments, the direction of the water outlet 23 can be tilted toward the direction of the air outlet 13. In this way, the guiding effect of the airflow can be utilized to spray the water more concentratedly on the target area, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the air outlet 13.

[0147] Or, as Figures 5 to 7 , Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the water outlet 23 may also be oriented perpendicular to the extension direction of the housing wall 142. With this arrangement, the water ejected from the water outlet 23 may be perpendicular to the housing wall 142, and the water may flow downward along the surface of the housing wall 142, thereby being directed through the housing wall 142 to the door seal 110 or door glass of the washing machine 100.

[0148] In summary, the setting direction of the water outlet 23 can be selected according to the water flow rate and the requirements for the mixing effect, but the present disclosure does not specifically limit the specific direction of the water outlet 23, that is, those skilled in the art can set and adjust it according to actual conditions.

[0149] In some embodiments, the water outlet 23 may include a plurality of water outlet holes 24 .

[0150] like Figures 5 to 7 、 Figures 8 to 10 or Figure 18 As shown, the water outlet 23 includes multiple water holes 24. These holes 24 can be spaced apart and face the door seal 110 and / or door glass of the washing machine 100. This arrangement allows the water flowing through the multiple holes 24 to be discharged in a "jet-like" manner. It will be understood that water from the water flow channel 20 is ejected through the holes 24 onto the wall 142 of the air outlet 13, and then the water flows downward to rinse the door seal 110 and / or door glass of the washing machine 100.

[0151] In some embodiments, the water outlet 23 includes a first water outlet (not shown) and a second water outlet (not shown) facing different directions.

[0152] In this embodiment, the first water outlet can be facing the first direction, the second water outlet can be facing the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction can intersect. With this arrangement, the water flow sprayed from the two water outlets 23 can be multi-directional, thereby more widely covering the area to be cleaned and improving the cleaning effect.

[0153] Specifically, the first water outlet can flush the door seal 110 of the washing machine 100, and the second water outlet can flush the door glass inside the washing machine 100. The water flow can flush different target areas from different directions, improving the cleaning effect. This rationally utilizes water resources and avoids water waste caused by water spraying from only a single direction.

[0154] Furthermore, a single water outlet 23 can be appropriately closed according to specific needs to control the direction of water flow and improve the flexibility of cleaning.

[0155] It should be understood that this disclosure does not specifically limit the specific form of the water outlet 23. The above description is merely an example of the possible forms of the water outlet 23, and is not limited to the forms described in the above embodiment. In other words, as long as the target area inside the washing machine 100 can be cleaned, those skilled in the art can adjust the specific form of the water outlet 23 according to actual circumstances, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0156] In some embodiments, the first water flow channel 221 and the second water flow channel 222 may extend in the same direction, or the first water flow channel 221 and the second water flow channel 222 may extend in different directions.

[0157] The first water channel 221 and the second water channel 222 may extend in the same direction. In some embodiments, for example, Figures 8 to 10 or Figures 11 to 13 As shown, at least a portion of the water flow channel 22 can extend within the wind flow channel 12 in the transverse direction of the wind flow channel 12. It can be considered that the second water flow channel 222 extends within the wind flow channel 12 in the transverse direction of the wind flow channel 12, and the first water flow channel 221 can also extend in the transverse direction of the wind flow channel 12. With this arrangement, the second water flow channel 222 can laterally distribute the water introduced from the water inlet 21 before it is discharged through the water outlet 23, thereby increasing the transverse distance of the discharged water.

[0158] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the first water channel 221 and the second water channel 222 may also extend in different directions. The first water channel 221 may extend in the transverse direction of the wind channel 12, and the second water channel 222 may extend in the longitudinal direction of the wind channel 12. It is understood that the first water channel 221 may be arranged according to the specific position or specific form of the water inlet 21 and the external liquid supply, and the present disclosure does not specifically limit this.

[0159] In some embodiments, in a cross section of the first shell 14 , at least one long side of the first shell 14 may be connected to the second shell 143 , and / or, in a cross section of the first shell 14 , at least one short side of the first shell 14 may be connected to the second shell 143 .

[0160] It should be noted that the cross-section of the first shell 14 can be a cross-section of the first shell 14 that is perpendicular to the direction of airflow. Specifically, on a certain cross-section of the first shell 14, at least one long side of the first shell 14 can be connected to the second shell 143, and / or, on the cross-section of the first shell 14, at least one short side of the first shell 14 can be connected to the second shell 143.

[0161] In other words, in the cross section of the first shell 14 , the long side and / or the short side of the first shell 14 may be connected to the second shell 143 to achieve the combination of the first shell 14 and the second shell 143 .

[0162] In one possible scenario, Figure 6 As shown, the long side of the first shell 14 can be connected to the second shell 143 and can also be connected to the outer shell wall 142 of the second shell 143 .

[0163] In another possible case, the long side of the first shell 14 may also be connected to the second shell 143 , and may also be connected to the inner shell wall 142 of the second shell 143 .

[0164] Through the above arrangement, the contact area between the first shell 14 and the second shell 143 can be increased, the bonding strength between the two can be improved, and the airtightness of the device can be ensured.

[0165] In another possible situation, Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the short side of the first shell 14 can be connected to the second shell 143, and the short side of the first shell 14 and the shell wall 142 of the second shell 143 together form a water flow channel 22. In this way, the first shell 14 and the second shell 143 reuse the space inside the washing device 100.

[0166] In other embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the long side and the short side of the first shell 14 may also be connected to the shell wall 142 of the second shell 143. It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited to the above-mentioned connection methods, that is, those skilled in the art can adjust them according to actual conditions.

[0183] Based on the same concept, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a washing device 100. Figure 21 As shown, the washing device 100 may include the air outlet component 1 of the washing device mentioned above.

[0184] In some embodiments, as Figure 20 As shown, the door seal 110 may have a door seal opening 120 , wherein the air outlet 13 and the water outlet 23 may be disposed at the door seal opening 120 .

[0185] In this disclosure, Figure 21 As shown, since the air outlet 13 and the water outlet 23 can both be set at the door seal opening 120, the door seal 110 does not need to have multiple door seal openings for the air outlet and the water outlet to be set separately, which reduces the difficulty of the door seal processing technology and helps to save space.

[0186] The air outlet 13 and the water outlet 23 can be set at the door sealing opening 120. In one possible case, the water outlet 23 can be set inside the air flow channel 10, and the air outlet 13 can be communicated with the door sealing opening 120 to achieve communication between the air outlet 13, the water outlet 23 and the door sealing opening 120. In another possible case, the water outlet 23 can be set on the air flow channel 10, and the water flowing out through the water outlet 23 is discharged through the air outlet 13, and the air outlet 13 can be communicated with the door sealing opening 120 to achieve communication between the air outlet 13, the water outlet 23 and the door sealing opening 120. In other possible cases, it can be as follows Figure 22 or Figure 23 As shown, the water outlet 23 can be set on the air flow channel 10, and the water outlet 23 can be set adjacent to the air outlet 13, and the air outlet 13 and the water outlet 23 can both be connected to the door sealing opening 120 to achieve communication between the air outlet 13, the water outlet 23 and the door sealing opening 120.

[0187] In this embodiment, the air outlet 13 and the water outlet 23 are centrally located at the door seal opening 120. This eliminates the need to reserve separate internal spaces for the air outlet 13 and the water outlet 23 within the washing machine 100. Instead, the existing space within the door seal opening 120 can be effectively utilized to accommodate both the air outlet 13 and the water outlet 23, thereby reducing the overall internal space of the washing machine 100 and lowering manufacturing and operating costs. Furthermore, the length of the air flow channel 10 and the water flow channel 20 can be reduced, simplifying the internal structure and facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0188] On the other hand, the air outlet 13 and the water outlet 23 are arranged in the same space, so that the airflow and the water flow can fully contact and combine at the door seal opening 120. The water flow can be driven and diffused by the airflow, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the water flow. Specifically, the synergistic effect of the airflow and the water flow can promptly remove dust, fluff, and other pollutants from the door seal opening 120, and can prevent the door seal opening 120 from being blocked by foreign matter.
