[0063] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 1As shown, the clothing processing device includes a drying module 10, a clothing processing drum 20 and a mounting plate 30. The clothing processing drum 20 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air outlet of the drying module 10 is connected to the air inlet of the clothing processing drum 20, and the air inlet of the drying module 10 is connected to the air outlet of the clothing processing drum 20, so that the gas in the clothing processing drum 20 is continuously dehydrated through the drying module 10, thereby achieving the purpose of drying the clothes in the clothing processing drum 20.

[0064] In one embodiment, the drying module 10 is arranged above the clothes treatment drum 20 and is arranged corresponding to the mounting plate 30. The mounting plate 30 may be the upper shell of the clothes treatment device. A heat insulation layer may be arranged on the side of the mounting plate 30 facing the drying module 10. The heat reflection direction of the heat insulation layer is arranged in the direction toward the drying module 10. The heat insulation layer may be heat insulation foam or aluminum foil. The heat insulation layer and the drying module 10 may be arranged correspondingly to insulate the mounting plate 30. The drying module 10 is connected to the mounting plate 30 and is assembled in the clothes treatment device through the mounting plate 30; wherein, the clothes treatment drum 20 may include a drum and an outer drum, or may be a washing machine without an outer drum, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0065] Among them, Figure 2 to Figure 5 As shown, the drying module 10 includes a heating module 100 and a dehumidification module 200. The air outlet of the dehumidification module 200 is connected to the air inlet of the clothing treatment drum 20, and the air inlet of the dehumidification module 200 is connected to the air outlet of the clothing treatment drum 20, so as to continuously adsorb the moisture in the gas in the clothing treatment drum 20 through the dehumidification module 200; the heating module 100 can heat the airflow and / or the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, and the heated airflow passes through the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 in the dehumidification module 200 to dehumidify and dehydrate the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, so that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 has the ability to absorb moisture again; during the rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, it passes through the dehumidification area of ​​the dehumidification module 200 and the dehydration area of ​​the heating module 100, and continuously performs a cycle of adsorbing and desorbing moisture, thereby achieving the purpose of drying the moisture of the clothes in the clothing treatment drum 20. Among them, as Figure 5 As shown, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250 may be a rotating disk, so as to facilitate the rotation through the dehumidification area of ​​the dehumidification module 200 and the dehydration area of ​​the heating module 100 .

[0066] In one embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the heating module 100 includes: a shell 110 and a heating component, the shell 110 includes a protrusion 114, the protrusion is protruding from the surface of the shell 110, and the protrusion 114 is used for abutting and assembling with an external element; the heating component includes a heater 120, and the heater 120 is arranged in the accommodating space.

[0067] In one embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the heating module 100 also includes: a main body portion 111, a side wall portion 112 and a mounting portion 113 of an integrally formed structure, the protrusion 114 and the main body portion 111, the side wall portion 112 and the mounting portion 113 can be an integrally formed structure, the side wall portion 112 is located at the edge of the main body portion 111 and extends toward one side of the main body portion 111, the side wall portion 112 and the main body portion 111 are enclosed to form a accommodating space with an open end 115, and an air inlet connected to the open end 115 is provided on the side wall; the mounting portion 113 is connected to a side of the side wall portion 112 away from the main body portion 111, and extends toward the periphery of the side wall portion 112; the shell 110 is an integrally formed component; the protrusion 114 is connected to the mounting portion 113, and extends toward the direction of the mounting portion 113 away from the main body portion 111.

[0068] In one embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the heating assembly further includes a temperature controller 130 , the heater 120 is connected to the temperature controller 130 , and the temperature controller 130 is disposed on the body portion 111 or the side wall portion 112 or the mounting portion 113 .

[0069] In one embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the housing 110 is an integrally formed structure, that is, the main body 111, the side wall 112, the mounting portion 113 and the protrusion 114 are an integrally formed structure; the housing 110 includes a plurality of mounting areas, and the plurality of mounting areas are equipped with at least one of the thermostat 130, the heater 120 and the heat insulation seal. By making the main body 111, the side wall 112, the mounting portion 113 and the protrusion 114 of the housing 110 an integrally formed structure, the heater 120 is arranged in the accommodation space, and the thermostat 130 is arranged on at least one of the main body 111, the side wall 112 and the mounting portion 113; the housing 110 includes a plurality of mounting areas for fixing the heater 120, the thermostat 130 and the heat insulation, etc., and there is no need to set up various sealing structures to place components, and there are fewer openings, which simplifies the structure and assembly of the entire heating module 100, ensures the overall sealing of the heating module 100, and at the same time, the protrusion 114 can simplify the sealing connection between the heating module 100 and the dehumidification module 200.

[0070] In one embodiment, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the shell 110 of the heating module 100 is roughly fan-shaped, that is, along the radial direction of the fan, the arc length of the end of the heating module 100 close to the rotation center of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 is smaller than the arc length away from the rotation center of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250.

[0071] In one embodiment, the main body portion 111 located on the top surface is fan-shaped; the side wall portion 112 surrounds the main body portion 111, and an air inlet of the heating module 100 is formed on the side wall portion 112 located on the outer arc surface of the fan. The gas to be heated is delivered into the shell 110 through the air inlet. After the gas is heated by the heater 120 in the shell 110, it passes through the desiccant component 250, takes away the moisture in the desiccant component 250, and realizes the desorption of moisture in the desiccant component 250.

[0072] By making the shell 110 of the heating module 100 fan-shaped, when the heating module 100 cooperates with the dehumidification module 200, facing the circular moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, the heating module 100 and the dehumidification module 200 can cover the surface of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 as much as possible, so that as much as possible or even all of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 is respectively located in the dehumidification area formed by the dehumidification module 200 and the dehydration area formed by the heating module 100, thereby relatively improving the drying capacity of the clothes in the clothing processing drum 20.

[0073] Among them, the shell 110 of the heating module 100 is fan-shaped, and an air inlet of the heating module 100 is formed on the side wall portion 112 located on the outer arc surface of the fan. The direction in which the heated gas enters the accommodating cavity is different from the rotation direction of the dehumidification component 250, which can make the heating gas have a higher flow rate relative to the dehumidification component 250, thereby improving the desorption effect of the heating gas on the moisture in the dehumidification component 250.

[0074] In one embodiment, Fig. 9 and Fig.11 As shown, the housing 110 further includes: a support member 117, the support member 117 is located in the accommodation space, the support member 117 and the main body 111 are an integrally formed structure, and the support member 117 is configured to support the heater 120. The support member 117 and the main body 111 are an integrally formed structure, that is, the housing 110 formed by integral molding has an assembly area for the heater 120, which simplifies the structure and assembly of the heating module 100, avoids opening a hole in the housing 110 to support and fix the heater 120, and further ensures the sealing of the housing 110.

[0075] Of course, the support member 117 and the shell 110 may also be a separate structure, the support member 117 is located in the accommodating space, one end of the support member 117 is connected to the main body 111 , and the other end supports the heater 120 .

[0076] In one embodiment, the support member 117 is formed of a heat-insulating material to prevent excessive heat conduction to the housing 110 and / or the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250, thereby preventing the housing 110 from overheating and / or the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250 from having a local temperature that is too high. The present disclosure does not limit the heat-insulating material, as long as it can achieve the supporting function at the same time.

[0077] In one embodiment, a blind hole 116 is formed on at least one of the body 111, the side wall 112 and the mounting portion 113, and the thermostat 130 is disposed in the blind hole 116. The blind hole 116 may be recessed toward one side of the accommodation space and / or recessed toward one side of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250, so that the thermostat 130 is disposed close to the heater 120. By forming the blind hole 116 recessed toward one side of the accommodation space on the body 111, the side wall 112 or the mounting portion 113, the thermostat 130 can be accommodated and assembled, avoiding the need for a separate fixed structure, and directly forming an assembly area for the thermostat 130 on the integrally formed housing 110, simplifying the structure and assembly of the heating module 100, avoiding the need for opening a hole on the housing 110 to support and fix the thermostat 130, and further ensuring the sealing of the housing 110. Of course, a through hole with a bottom penetrating therethrough is formed on the main body portion 111 or the side wall portion 112 or the mounting portion 113 , that is, a bottom penetrating blind hole, and the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0078] Among them, Figures 8 to 10 Two blind holes 116 are formed on the mounting portion 113 by integral molding. A thermostat 130 is respectively disposed in the two blind holes 116 . The two thermostats 130 are respectively connected to the heater 120 .

[0079] The side wall thickness of the blind hole 116 is smaller than the thickness of the mounting portion 113. By making the side wall thickness of the blind hole 116 smaller than the thickness of the mounting portion 113, that is, by thinning the side wall of the blind hole 116, the heat in the accommodating cavity can be better transferred to the blind hole 116, so that the temperature in the accommodating cavity obtained by the thermostat 130 can be more accurate, and the temperature change in the accommodating space can be obtained more timely, thereby improving the control accuracy of the heating temperature of the heater 120, and finally improving the moisture desorption effect of the heated gas on the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250.

[0080] The diameter and depth of the blind hole 116 can be set according to the shape and size of the thermostat 130 so as to achieve assembly of the stabilizer.

[0081] In one embodiment, Fig.11As shown, a heat conducting portion 118 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall of the blind hole 116, and the heat conducting portion 118 extends toward the heater 120. The blind hole 116 is located in the accommodating cavity, and the heat in the accommodating cavity can be transferred to the temperature controller 130 through the side wall of the blind hole 116. By providing the heat conducting portion 118 on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall of the blind hole 116, the heat in the accommodating cavity can be transferred to the side wall of the blind hole 116 through the heat conducting portion 118, thereby accelerating the heat transfer efficiency. At the same time, the heat conducting portion 118 can be used to evenly conduct heat, so that the temperature detected by the temperature controller 130 tends to be stable, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection result and avoiding the situation where the heating gas in the accommodating space has turbulent flow and causes the detection result to frequently jump.

[0082] The heat conducting part 118 is a solid structure or a hollow structure; the heat conducting part 118 can be a structure integrally formed on the housing 110, that is, the material of the heat conducting part 118 and the side wall of the blind hole 116 can be the same, for example, both are made of aluminum alloy; the heat conducting part 118 and the side wall of the blind hole 116 are made of the same material, which can ensure the heat transfer efficiency between the heat conducting part 118 and the side wall of the blind hole 116. Of course, the heat conducting part 118 can be a structure connected to the side wall of the blind hole 116 separately, and connected to the side wall of the blind hole 116 by bonding, welding, clamping, etc. to transfer heat, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0083] In one embodiment, at least part of the heat reflection direction of the shell 110 is set to be toward the heater 120. By setting at least part of the heat reflection direction of the shell 110 to be toward the heater 120, the heat generated by the heater 120 can be concentrated in the accommodating space, thereby increasing the temperature of the accommodating space, thereby increasing the heating effect on the gas, thereby increasing the moisture desorption effect of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, and ultimately improving the drying effect of the drying module 10 on the clothes in the clothing processing drum 20.

[0084] Among them, at least part of the heat reflection direction on at least one of the body part 111, the side wall part 112, the mounting part 113 and the protrusion 114 of the shell 110 is set toward the heater 120. When the heat reflection directions of the body part 111, the side wall part 112, the mounting part 113 and the protrusion 114 of the shell 110 are all set toward the heater 120, the heat generated by the heater 120 can be concentrated in the accommodation space as much as possible, further improving the heating effect on the gas, thereby further improving the moisture desorption effect on the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250.

[0085] Among them, a heat insulation layer can be set on the inner walls of the main body 111, side wall 112, mounting portion 113 and protrusion 114 of the shell 110, and the heat reflection direction of the heat insulation layer is set towards the heater 120. The heat insulation layer can be, for example, heat insulation foam or aluminum foil.

[0086] The shell 110 can be, for example, a high-aluminum heat-resistant reflective substrate plate. By using the high-aluminum heat-resistant reflective substrate plate as the shell 110, the shell 110 has a heat-insulating effect with the heat reflection direction being set toward the heater 120, thereby preventing the surface temperature of the shell 110 from being too high and causing damage to other components. Of course, the shell can also be formed of other metal materials or non-metal materials, and the present disclosure does not limit this. Any changes in the shell material are within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0087] In one embodiment, Fig.11 As shown, the heater 120 is composed of a plurality of heating tubes connected end to end, the heating tubes are distributed at intervals along the radial direction of the sector, the length of the heating tubes is set approximately perpendicular to the radial direction of the sector, and the plurality of heating tubes are connected to form an S-shaped distribution. The length of the heating tubes in the accommodating area is relatively longer, which can increase the contact area with the gas to be heated, thereby making the efficiency of heat exchange with the gas to be heated relatively higher.

[0088] Among them, the present disclosure narrows the heating tubes at both ends of the fan-shaped radial direction and narrows the distance between adjacent heating tubes, so that the area occupied by the heating tubes can be relatively reduced. By narrowing the heating tubes at both ends of the fan-shaped radial direction and narrowing the distance between adjacent heating tubes, the heat generated by the heating tubes is more concentrated, and the temperature of the heated gas is faster. At the same time, the volume occupied by the heating tubes is reduced, and the volume of the heating module 100 can be reduced, thereby improving the integration of the drying module. Among them, the area of ​​the positive projection of the heating tube on the main body 111 is 20% to 60% of the area of ​​the main body 111, such as 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, etc., which are not listed one by one in the present disclosure.

[0089] In one embodiment, Fig. 9 As shown, a support member 117 has two support parts 1171 and a fixing part 1172 located between the two support parts 1171, and the two support parts 1171 support a heating tube respectively. Among them, a depression matching the outer peripheral surface of the heating tube is formed on the support surface of the support part 1171, which is used to form a limit for the heating tube to prevent the heating tube from moving left and right on the support surface or sliding off the support surface; at the same time, the contact area between the support part 1171 and the outer peripheral surface of the heating tube in the axial direction is increased, and the supporting force of the support part 1171 is distributed in the circumference of the heating tube, thereby avoiding the situation where the heating tube is squeezed and deformed when the fastening force on the heating tube is large.

[0090] Among them, Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, the fixing plate 150 cooperates with the support member 117 to fix the heating tube. The fixing plate 150 is located on the heating tube, and the fixing plate 150 and the support member 1171 form a clamping and fixing of the heating tube. The fixing plate 150 includes two clamping parts 151 and a connecting part 152 located between the two clamping parts 151; a mounting hole is provided on the fixing part 1172 of the support member 117, and the connecting part 152 of the fixing plate 150 is fixedly connected to the support member 117 through a screw. After each heating tube is placed on the corresponding support member 1171, the heating tube is fixed to the support member 1171 through the clamping part 151 of the fixing plate 150, and the connecting part 152 of the fixing plate 150 and the fixing part 1172 of the support member 117 are detachably connected through a screw, which is convenient for loading and unloading and maintenance of the heating assembly.

[0091] In one embodiment, Fig.12 As shown, the heating module 100 further includes: an air guide plate 140, which is disposed between the heater 120 and the main body 111, and the air guide plate 140 and the main body 111 are spaced apart, and an air flow channel is formed between the air guide plate 140 and the main body 111, and the air flow hole is connected to the air inlet of the heating module 100, and after the heated gas enters the air flow channel formed between the air guide plate 140 and the main body 111, it flows through the multiple heating tubes in the heater 120 under the guidance of the air guide plate 140; the air guide plate 140 is provided with multiple ventilation holes, and at least some of the ventilation holes are arranged opposite to the heating tubes. The air guide plate 140 can make the heated gas enter the heater 120 more evenly for heating.

[0092] Among them, a plurality of air holes can be arranged in a row along the radial direction of the fan-shaped, and the arrangement position of each row of air holes roughly corresponds to the position of the heating tube, and the diameter of the air holes gradually increases from the outer arc to the center of the circle along the radial direction of the fan-shaped. The air inlet of the heating module 100 is located on the outer arc side of the shell 110, and the diameter of the air holes near the air inlet is relatively small, and the diameter of the air holes far from the air inlet is relatively large, that is, the diameter of the air holes near the air inlet is smaller than the diameter of the air holes far from the air inlet, thereby ensuring that the gas flow of each air hole is roughly the same, so that the gas to be heated can enter the heater 120 more evenly for heating.

[0093] In one embodiment, when the heating module 100 further includes an air guide plate 140, the support member 117 may be disposed on the air guide plate 140. The support member 117 and the air guide plate 140 may be an integrally formed structure or a split structure, that is, one end of the support member 117 is connected to the body 111, and the other end supports the heater 120.

[0094] In one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the drying module 10 is also connected to the circulation module 40, which includes an air blower, whose air inlet is connected to the air outlet of the clothing treatment drum 20, and whose air outlet is connected to the air inlet of the dehumidification module 200, so as to feed the gas to be dehumidified in the clothing treatment drum 20 into the dehumidification module 200; the gas to be dehumidified is formed into dry gas after being processed by the dehumidification module 200, so that the wet circulating gas is converted into dry circulating gas, and the dry gas enters the clothing treatment drum 20 through the air inlet of the clothing treatment drum 20 and contacts the clothes, thereby achieving the purpose of circulating dehumidification of the clothes in the clothing treatment drum 20.

[0095] In one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drying module 10 is also connected to a condensing module 50, which can condense and dehydrate the hot and humid gas after the moisture is desorbed by the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250. The water vapor of the hot and humid gas is cooled to form condensed water and discharged from the condenser, and becomes dry and cold gas to be heated and enters the regeneration fan 170 of the heating module 100, so that the gas forms a closed loop. Of course, the dry and cold gas to be heated formed after the condenser treatment can also be directly discharged into the atmosphere, and the present disclosure does not limit this. Among them, the condensing module 50 may include a tubular condenser, and the hot and humid gas is cooled by the tubular condenser so that the water vapor of the hot and humid gas is cooled to form condensed water and discharged from the condenser; the present disclosure does not limit the specific composition of the condensing module.

[0096] Among them, the gas delivered to the heating module 100 through the regeneration fan 170 can be dry cold gas after moisture is desorbed by the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, that is, the gas is recycled, and the humidity of the delivered gas is relatively low, which can improve the drying efficiency and reduce energy consumption; or, the regeneration fan 170 of the heating module 100 can also directly inhale gas from the outside.

[0097] In one embodiment, Figure 3 to Figure 5 , Figure 14 to Figure 16As shown, the dehumidification module 200 includes a moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 and a dehumidification shell 201. The dehumidification shell 201 is formed with a accommodating space, and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 is at least partially contained in the accommodating space; the dehumidification shell 201 is provided with a vent, and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 is configured to absorb moisture from the gas entering the accommodating space; the heating module 100 is fixed to the first dehumidification shell 210 through the mounting portion 113, and at least a portion of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 is arranged opposite to the open end 115 of the shell 110, and the heating module 100 is configured to dehydrate the portion of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 located at the open end 115; the sealing member 300 is located between the mounting portion 113 and the first dehumidification shell 210, and is used to seal the gap between the mounting portion 113 and the first dehumidification shell 210; the protrusion 114 abuts against the sealing member 300, and the protrusion 114 serves as a sealing portion between the shell 110 and the sealing member 300. A protrusion 114 is formed on the shell 110 of the one-piece molding structure provided in the present invention. When the heating module 100 is assembled on the dehumidification module 200, the protrusion 114 cooperates with the seal 300 to limit the seal 300 between the heating module 100 and the dehumidification module 200 to ensure the sealing effect of the seal 300.

[0098] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a heating air hole 230 is formed on the dehumidification housing 201. The heating module 100 dehydrates the portion of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250 located at the open end 115 through the heating air hole 230.

[0099] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the dehumidification shell 201 includes a first dehumidification shell 210 and a second dehumidification shell 220, and the first dehumidification shell 210 and the second dehumidification shell 220 are enclosed to form a accommodating space, in which at least part of the accommodating space of the dehumidification component 250 is located; the first dehumidification shell 210 and the second dehumidification shell 220 are respectively provided with ventilation holes, and the dehumidification component 250 is configured to absorb moisture in the gas entering the accommodating space; a heating air hole 230 is formed on the first dehumidification shell 210.

[0100] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a fan-shaped heating module 100 heating air hole 230 is formed on the first dehumidification housing 210 , and the heating module 100 is installed on the heating air hole 230 . The heating module 100 is located above the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 .

[0101] In one embodiment, Figure 8 to Figure 12As shown, a screw hole seat 119 is formed on the shell 110 of the heating module 100. When the shell 110 is formed by integral molding, the screw hole seat 119 can be simultaneously formed as an assembly area for fixing the heating module 100 and the dehumidification module 200, so that the heating module 100 and the dehumidification module 200 can be directly connected together by threaded parts, without the need to set other fixing screw structures on the shell 110 of the heating module 100.

[0102] The size, quantity and distribution of the screw holes 119 on the housing 110 can be set according to the specific structures of the heating module 100 and the dehumidification module 200, and the present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0103] In one embodiment, Fig.17 As shown, a sealing structure with a Y-shaped cross section is formed on one side of the sealing member 300 facing the mounting portion 113 of the housing 110. When the mounting portion 113 is in close contact with the sealing member 300, the Y-shaped sealing structure on the sealing member 300 can be squeezed and opened by the squeezing force of the mounting portion 113, thereby avoiding a gap between the sealing member 300 and the mounting portion 113 and improving the sealing effect between the sealing member 300 and the mounting portion 113. Of course, the cross section of the sealing structure can also be rectangular, triangular or irregular, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0104] In one embodiment, Fig.17 As shown, the sealing surface where the first dehumidification housing 10 of the dehumidification module 200 abuts against the sealing member 300 may be provided with a sealing protrusion, and the sealing member 300 is squeezed by the sealing protrusion to improve the sealing effect with the sealing member 300. The cross-sectional shape of the sealing protrusion may be a triangle, a semicircle, a rectangle or an irregular shape, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0105] Those skilled in the art may also provide a sealing structure on the mounting portion 113 of the shell 110 , other sealing structures on the dehumidification shell 201 , or other sealing structures on the upper and lower sealing surfaces of the seal 300 , and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0106] In one embodiment, Fig.13 As shown, the seal 300 is provided with a limiting portion 340 that matches the screw hole seat 119 on the shell 110, and a limiting hole is formed on the limiting portion 340. The screw hole seat 119 is a columnar structure. The limiting portion 340 of the seal 300 can be sleeved on the screw hole seat 119 of the columnar structure through the limiting hole, forming a positioning between the seal 300 and the shell, thereby improving the sealing effect of the seal 300.

[0107] The size and number of the limiting portions 340 and their distribution on the seal 300 match the size and number of the screw hole seats 119 and their distribution on the housing 110 , and the present disclosure does not impose any limitation on this.

[0108] Among them, there is a first gas flow channel between the first dehumidification shell 210 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, and there is also a second gas flow channel between the second dehumidification shell 220 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250. The first gas flow channel and the second gas flow form a dehumidification area of ​​the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250. The humid gas in the clothing treatment drum 20 can enter the first gas flow channel, absorb moisture through the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, and then be discharged through the second gas flow; or, the humid gas in the clothing treatment drum 20 can enter the second gas flow channel, absorb moisture through the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, and then be discharged through the first gas flow.

[0109] Among them, the open end 115 of the heating module 100 is connected to the hot air hole on the first dehumidification shell 210, that is, a third gas flow channel is formed between the heater 120 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250; a fourth gas flow channel is formed between the second dehumidification shell 220 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, and the fourth gas flow channel of the second dehumidification shell 220 is separated from the second gas flow channel by a barrier to separate the dehumidification area from the dehydration area. The heated high-temperature dry gas enters the third gas flow channel to desorb moisture from the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, and the humid gas after passing through the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 enters the fourth gas flow channel. During the rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, various parts in the circumferential direction continuously pass through the dehumidification area and the dehydration area, thereby continuously performing a cycle of adsorbing and desorbing moisture, and finally achieving the purpose of drying the clothes in the clothing treatment drum 20.

[0110] The dehumidification area and the dehydration area are relatively isolated so that the dehumidification airflow in the first gas flow channel and the second gas flow and the dehydration airflow in the third gas flow channel and the fourth gas flow channel are not connected to each other, thereby ensuring the dehydration effect on the humid gas.

[0111] The moisture absorption and dehumidification element 250 can be made of a material with good moisture absorption performance to improve the moisture absorption capacity of humid gas, thereby improving the drying effect of the clothes in the clothing treatment drum 20. The material of the moisture absorption and dehumidification element includes, for example, lithium chloride, silica gel, zeolite, molecular sieve, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0112] In one embodiment, a moisture absorbent for absorbing moisture is provided on the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250. The moisture absorbent may be, for example, zeolite, modified / synthetic zeolite, molecular sieve (including but not limited to zeolite molecular sieve, A / X / Y type molecular sieve, ZSM molecular sieve, Beta molecular sieve, etc.), polymer moisture absorbent, alkali metal aluminosilicate (13X molecular sieve), lithium chloride, silica gel, modified silica gel, activated alumina, and other materials with moisture absorption properties. Among them, the polymer moisture absorbent is also called polymer adsorbent, which has a lower regeneration temperature than traditional silica gel, activated carbon and molecular sieve adsorbents.

[0113] In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250 can be made of porous materials such as zeolite, molecular sieve, metal organic framework (MOF) material, covalent organic framework (COFs), nano carbon, silicon dioxide, etc. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250 can also be formed by granular solid or particle filling including at least one of the above porous materials.

[0114] In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250 may be a honeycomb or corrugated moisture absorption and dehumidification member carrying a desiccant, which can adsorb and desorb / desorb the absorbed water vapor to achieve repeated desorption and regeneration.

[0115] In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250 includes an inorganic / organic fiber carrier (such as ceramic, glass fiber, MOFs, COFs, cordierite, etc.), and the fiber carrier is coated with a moisture absorbent such as a molecular sieve, and the molecular sieve is evenly distributed between the fiber carriers and on the surface of the fiber carrier to achieve the adsorption of airflow moisture. The molecular sieve may include single crystal molecular sieves or mixed crystal molecular sieves such as A-type molecular sieve, X / Y-type molecular sieve, ZSM molecular sieve, and Beta molecular sieve.

[0116] The present disclosure does not limit the specific material of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250. Any moisture absorption and dehumidification component that can achieve the moisture absorption and dehumidification effect belongs to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0117] In one embodiment, a positioning portion is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the seal 300, and the seal 300 is relatively limited with the first dehumidification housing 210 through the positioning portion. When assembling the seal 300, the positioning portion is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the seal 300, and the seal 300 is relatively limited with the first dehumidification housing 210 through the positioning portion, so that the assembly limit of the seal 300 is achieved, and at the same time, the sealing effect of the seal 300 can be ensured and the first dehumidification housing 210 can be prevented from overheating and melting. Among them, the seal 300 can be a rubber seal, which has a simple molding process, low cost, and long service life.

[0118] The shape of the seal 300 matches the shape of the mounting portion 113, that is, the seal 300 is also fan-shaped; the positioning portion may be a protrusion and a depression formed on the radial outer arc surface of the fan-shaped seal 300; Fig. 9 As shown, a notch 1131 is formed on the outer arc side of the shell 110 of the heating module 100, and a protruding threaded mounting portion 1133 is provided in the notch 1131; the protrusion 321 on the outer arc surface of the seal 300 matches the notch 1131 on the shell 110, and the recess 322 on the outer arc surface matches the protruding threaded mounting portion 1133, thereby realizing the assembly limit of the seal 300 and the shell 110 of the heating module 100.

[0119] In one embodiment, Fig. 9 As shown, a limit strip 1132 is formed on the outer arc side of the shell 110 of the heating module 100; Fig.13 As shown, an arc-shaped convex edge 330 is formed on the outer arc side of the seal 300, and the convex edge 330 matches the limiting strip 1132. After the seal 300 is located between the heating module 100 and the dehumidification module 200, the convex edge 330 and the limiting strip 1132 abut together in the radial direction of the fan, forming a positioning effect between the seal 300 and the shell 110, thereby improving the sealing effect of the seal 300.

[0120] In one embodiment, Fig.10 As shown, the seal 300 is provided with a heat insulating portion 310 at a position corresponding to the edge area of ​​the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250. The heat insulating portion 310 is located in the inner circle of the seal 300 and extends toward the center of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250. The seal 300 is also fan-shaped. A portion of the seal 300 located on one side of the outer arc in the radial direction is provided with a portion extending toward the inner side of the seal 300. Since the portion is located between the heating zone and the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250, the extended portion forms a barrier to the heated gas, so that the air volume of the heated gas in the edge area of ​​the heating air hole 230 close to the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250 is reduced, thereby relatively reducing the temperature of the edge area of ​​the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250 when the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250 is located in the dehydration zone, so as to prevent the overheating of the edge area components of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250, such as the shell or plastic gear of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 250. In one embodiment, when a plastic gear is provided on the edge of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, the design of the extension portion can ensure the reliability of the plastic gear teeth provided on the edge of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, thereby preventing the plastic gear teeth from being deformed or even melted by high temperature, thereby improving the reliability of the drying module.

[0121] Among them, after the heating module 100 is sealed and connected with the dehumidification module 200, the protrusion 114 on the shell 110 of the heating module 100 located on the outer arc can abut against the insulating part 310 of the seal 300, that is, abut against the part extending from the seal 300.

[0122] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a wind shield 240 is formed in the heating air hole 230 on the first dehumidification shell 210. The wind shield 240 corresponds to the edge area of ​​the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, and the wind shield 240 extends toward the center of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250. The heating air hole 230 on the first dehumidification shell 210 is fan-shaped. A portion of the first dehumidification shell 210 located on the outer arc side in the radial direction is formed with a portion extending toward the center of the first dehumidification shell 210. The extended portion serves as the wind shield 240. Since the portion is located between the heating area and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, the extended wind shield 240 forms a barrier to the heated gas, so that the air volume of the heated gas in the edge area of ​​the heating air hole 230 close to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 is reduced, thereby relatively reducing the temperature of the edge area of ​​the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 when it is located in the dehydration area, so as to prevent the edge area components of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 from overheating, such as the shell or plastic gear of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250. In one embodiment, when a plastic gear is provided on the edge of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, the design of the extended wind shield 240 can ensure the reliability of the plastic gear teeth provided on the edge of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250, thereby preventing the plastic gear teeth from being deformed or even melted by high temperature, thereby improving the reliability of the drying module.

[0123] In addition, the heat insulating portion 310 on the sealing member 300 and the wind shield portion 240 on the first dehumidification shell 210 are arranged relative to each other, and a double barrier to high-temperature gas is formed by the heat insulating portion 310 and the wind shield portion 240, which can further reduce the temperature of the edge area when the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250 is located in the dehydration area, and further ensure the reliability of the plastic gear teeth arranged on the edge of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 250.

[0124] In one embodiment, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a reinforcing rib 160 is provided between the side wall portion 112 and the mounting portion 113 of the housing 110 , and the structural strength of the housing 110 is improved by the reinforcing rib 160 .

[0125] Among them, the reinforcing rib 160 can be between the mounting portion 113 provided with the blind hole 116 and the side wall portion 112. Since the mounting portion 113 is provided with the blind hole 116, the structure of the mounting portion 113 with the blind hole 116 is required to be higher after the thermostat 130 is assembled, so as to avoid the shell 110 from being broken due to the alignment of the thermostat 130. By adding the reinforcing rib 160 between the mounting portion 113 with the blind hole 116 and the side wall portion 112, the structural strength between the mounting portion 113 with the blind hole 116 and the side wall portion 112 is improved, thereby improving the reliability of the shell 110.

[0126] Among them, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 160 may be provided, distributed between the mounting portion 113 with a blind hole 116 and the side wall portion 112, or distributed simultaneously between the mounting portion 113 with a blind hole 116 and the side wall portion 112 without a blind hole 116. The present disclosure does not limit the number and distribution position of the reinforcing ribs 160.

[0127] Among them, the reinforcing rib 160 can be a sheet-like triangular structure, so that the reinforcing rib 160 can be directly formed when the shell 110 is integrally formed, further enhancing the role of the reinforcing rib 160 in reinforcing the structural strength; of course, the reinforcing rib can also be other shapes, and the reinforcing rib can also be connected to the shell 110 by bonding, clamping, welding, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0128] In one embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, on the fan-shaped housing 110, a plurality of hollow portions 1134 arranged in rows are formed on the mounting portion 113 radially close to the periphery, and the hollow portions 1134 are located on one side of the mounting portion 113 close to the protruding portion 114. By providing the hollow portions 1134, when forming the housing 110, the wall thickness of the housing structure can be adjusted to make the wall thickness uniform, so that the housing 110 can be formed by an integrated molding process. At the same time, by providing a plurality of hollow portions 1134 on the housing 110, the side walls between the plurality of hollow portions 1134 form support ribs, thereby increasing the structural strength of the housing 110.

[0129] The drying module provided in the present disclosure can be used in clothing processing equipment, and the clothing processing equipment can be, for example, a washing and drying machine; of course, the drying module provided in the present disclosure can also be applied to household appliances that require moisture absorption / drying, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and dishwashers.
