Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, and in particular to a base and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing equipment is a device capable of washing, dehydrating, and drying clothes. During the drying process, it requires the circulation of drying gases to achieve the desired drying effect. A filter assembly is installed before the heat exchanger to remove lint and impurities from the airflow.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to meet the size requirements of the overall garment processing equipment, the size of the filter assembly is limited, resulting in poor filtration effect of the filter assembly, which in turn leads to a reduction in drying performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present application aims to provide a base and a garment processing device, which aims to maximize the installation space of the filter assembly without increasing the overall size of the garment processing device, so as to improve the filtration effect of the filter assembly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this application provides a base for a garment processing device, the base comprising:

[0006] The storage area for the two devices is located on one side of the base and extends along the first direction;

[0007] The air duct includes a first air passage section and a second air passage section arranged along a second direction. The first air passage section is located at one end of the storage area of ​​the two devices along the first direction. The air inlet of the storage area of ​​the two devices is connected to the first air passage section. The second direction intersects with the first direction.

[0008] The dimension of the first air passage section along the height direction is greater than the dimension of the second air passage section along the height direction.

[0009] In one embodiment, along the second direction, at least a portion of the top wall of the first air passage section is inclined upward to form a first inclined wall.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first inclined wall is formed as a downwardly curved arc surface.

[0011] In one embodiment, along the second direction, at least a portion of the bottom wall of the first air passage section is inclined downward to form a second inclined wall.

[0012] In one embodiment, the second inclined wall is formed as an upwardly curved arc surface.

[0013] In one embodiment, an installation port is formed in the first air passage section. Along the airflow direction, the installation port is located upstream of the storage area of ​​the two devices, and the installation port is used to install the filter assembly of the clothing processing equipment.

[0014] In one embodiment, the mounting port is inclined relative to the first direction.

[0015] In one embodiment, a stepped surface is formed on the inner wall of the first air passage section, facing away from the storage area of ​​the two devices, and the stepped surface at least defines a portion of the mounting opening.

[0016] In one embodiment, a mounting position is provided at the top of the mounting port for mounting a cleaning component for cleaning the filter assembly.

[0017] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the first air passage section forms at least a third inclined wall, which is inclined upward along the airflow direction.

[0018] In one embodiment, the first air passage section has a mold outlet on the side wall away from the storage area of ​​the two devices along the first direction.

[0019] In one embodiment, the top wall of the air duct has an opening for connecting the air duct with the drying chamber of the clothing processing equipment.

[0020] In one embodiment, a positioning part is provided on the top wall of the air duct, the positioning part being used to position the front support of the clothing processing equipment.

[0021] Another embodiment of this application provides a garment processing device, including:

[0022] The base described in any of the above embodiments;

[0023] The cylindrical body has a clothing processing chamber, which is connected to the air duct.

[0024] A filter assembly is disposed upstream of the storage area of ​​the two devices, along the airflow direction.

[0025] In one embodiment, the filter assembly does not extend beyond the inner wall of the first air passage section.

[0026] In one embodiment, the cylinder has a rotation center line, and the orthographic projection of the rotation center line along the height direction forms a first intersection point with the top of the side wall of the second air passage section near the storage area of ​​the two devices, and the height of the top wall of the first air passage section is higher than the height of the first intersection point.

[0027] This application provides a base for a garment processing device. Since the garment processing device has a cylindrical body, a large gap may exist between the body and the base on opposite sides along the second direction. The base can be designed with larger dimensions along the height direction on opposite sides along the second direction. The storage area for both garment components and the first air passage are both located on one side of the second direction. The height direction dimension of the first air passage is larger than that of the second air passage, allowing the base to fully utilize the internal space of the garment processing device. Without increasing the overall height of the garment processing device, the dimensions of the first air passage and the storage area for both garment components along the height direction are maximized, thereby increasing the airflow area and improving the drying performance of the garment processing device. Furthermore, the first air passage is located upstream of the storage area for both garment components along the airflow direction. A filter assembly can be installed within the first air passage. Increasing the size of the first air passage allows for the installation of a larger filter assembly, thereby improving the filtration effect of the filter assembly and further enhancing the drying performance of the garment processing device.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the detailed descriptions in the specific implementation should be understood as explanations of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as undue limitations on this application.

[0038] In the embodiments of this application, the orientation or positional relationship of "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "first direction", "second direction", and "height direction" is based on the appendix. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 5 and appendix Figure 6 The orientations or positional relationships shown are intended only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0039] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] One embodiment of this application provides a garment processing device; please refer to... Figures 1 to 3 It includes the cylindrical body and the base 10 of any embodiment of this application.

[0041] It should be noted that the specific type of the garment processing equipment 100 is not limited here. The garment processing equipment 100 is used to perform operations such as washing, dehydrating, and drying garments. For example, it can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. Exemplarily, this application embodiment describes the garment processing equipment 100 as a washer-dryer combo.

[0042] It should be noted that the drum body is either a washing drum or a drying drum 50. The clothes handling chamber can be either a washing chamber or a drying chamber 50a, depending on the type of drum body.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the cylinder located above the base is a clothes dryer 50, and the clothes dryer has a drying chamber 50a.

[0044] A washer-dryer combo can wash and dry clothes. This washer-dryer combo includes a frame 60, a washing unit, a drying unit, and a base 10.

[0045] The frame 60 is the main support structure, used for the fixed installation and support of other components of the washer-dryer combo.

[0046] The washing and drying units are arranged vertically in layers along the height direction, and the base 10 is located between the washing and drying units and is fixedly connected to the frame 60.

[0047] It is understood that, along the height direction, the washing unit can be positioned above the drying unit, or the drying unit can be positioned above the washing unit. For example, this application illustrates the scenario where the drying unit is positioned above the washing unit.

[0048] The washing device is fixed to the frame 60 and is used to wash clothes. The washing device includes a washing drum, and the inside of the washing drum has a washing chamber for accommodating clothes.

[0049] The drying device is fixed to the frame 60 and is used to dry the washed clothes. At the same time, a drying chamber 50a is formed inside.

[0050] The clothes drying device includes a drying drum 50, an airflow circulation channel, an evaporator, and a condenser. The drying drum 50 has a drying chamber 50a for holding clothes and a clothes loading port, through which the user can take or put clothes. The airflow circulation channel connects to the drying chamber 50a, and the airflow in the airflow circulation channel flows through the evaporator and the condenser.

[0051] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 7 The base 10 includes a storage area 10a for two devices and an air duct 10b.

[0052] The storage area 10a is used to store the heat exchanger 80. It is understood that the heat exchanger 80 includes the evaporator and condenser mentioned above.

[0053] The clothes processing chamber is connected to the air duct 10b. That is, the drying chamber 50a is connected to the air duct 10b, and the air duct 10b is connected to the storage area 10a for both garments. In other words, the airflow in the drying chamber 50a enters the air duct 10b through the airflow circulation channel, and then flows into the storage area 10a for both garments through the air duct 10b.

[0054] It should be noted that the evaporator, condenser and compressor constitute part of the heat pump system. That is to say, the clothing processing device 100 of this application embodiment uses heat pump technology to dry clothes.

[0055] The working principle of a heat pump system is as follows: The compressor draws in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, compresses it, and discharges it at high pressure. The discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, where it is cooled by room-temperature air and condenses into a high-pressure liquid (simultaneously transferring heat to the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the condenser is heated. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through a capillary tube for throttling and pressure reduction, becoming a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture before entering the evaporator. The liquid refrigerant evaporates and cools in the evaporator (simultaneously absorbing heat from the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the evaporator is cooled. The resulting low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is drawn back into the compressor and pressurized. This cycle repeats continuously, achieving heat exchange. It should be noted that the capillary tube described above can also be replaced by an expansion valve.

[0056] The working process and drying principle of the clothing processing device 100 in this embodiment are as follows: Dry hot airflow in the airflow circulation channel enters the drying chamber 50a downstream of the airflow circulation channel. In the drying chamber 50a, the dry hot airflow flows over the surface of the wet clothing, exchanging heat and moisture with the clothing, absorbing moisture from the clothing, and becoming humid hot airflow. The humid hot airflow then flows sequentially through the evaporator and condenser. During its flow through the evaporator, the humid hot airflow is condensed and dehumidified by the evaporator to form a low-temperature dry airflow. This low-temperature dry airflow is then heated into dry hot airflow when passing through the condenser. The dry hot airflow then re-enters the drying chamber 50a downstream of the airflow circulation channel, and this cycle continues, achieving continuous and efficient drying of the clothing.

[0057] Heat pump dryers achieve high energy utilization and low energy consumption. At the same time, the drying temperature of the heat pump system is much lower than the heating temperature of the electric heating element, ensuring the drying quality of the clothes.

[0058] It is understandable that during the process of airflow passing through the clothes, lint, impurities and other debris on the clothes may be carried into the storage area 10a of the two containers and adhered to the heat exchanger 80 under the action of the airflow. This prevents the heat exchanger 80 from directly contacting the airflow, thereby affecting the heat exchange effect between the airflow and the heat exchanger 80, and thus affecting the drying effect of the clothes processing equipment 100.

[0059] Based on this, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The garment processing equipment 100 also includes a filter assembly 20, which is located upstream of the two-piece storage area 10a along the airflow direction.

[0060] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the airflow direction refers to the direction in which the air flows through the air duct 10b toward the storage area 10a of the two devices.

[0061] The filter assembly 20 can filter lint, impurities and other contaminants in the airflow, thereby reducing the risk that lint, impurities and other contaminants will enter the storage area 10a of the two devices and adhere to the heat exchanger 80.

[0062] It should be noted that the filtration effect of the filter assembly 20 is related to its own size. Therefore, by installing a larger size filter assembly 20 within a limited space, the filtration effect of the filter assembly 20 can be improved.

[0063] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The storage area 10a for the two devices is located on one side of the base 10 and extends along the first direction.

[0064] The specific direction of the first direction is not limited. It can extend entirely along a straight line, or at least a part of it can extend along a curve.

[0065] Specifically, the first direction can be understood as the direction of extension of the side wall of the base 10 on the side where the two-piece storage area 10a is located. That is, the first direction can be understood as a straight line direction. In other words, the two-piece storage area 10a is on one side of the base 10 and extends along the direction of extension of the side wall of that side. Thus, after the base 10 is used on the clothing processing device 100, the two-piece storage area 10a can be located on the periphery of the clothing processing device 100.

[0066] The shape of the storage area 10a for the two devices is not limited. For example, please refer to [link to example]. Figure 2 The top of the storage area 10a for the two containers is open, thus facilitating the demolding of the base 10.

[0067] Of course, to ensure that the storage area 10a of the two devices forms a flow channel, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 4 A cover 70 is provided above the storage area 10a of the two devices. The cover 70 blocks the top of the storage area 10a of the two devices, so that the airflow can flow through both ends of the storage area 10a of the two devices in the first direction.

[0068] The air passage duct 10b includes a first air passage section 10c and a second air passage section 10d arranged along the second direction. The first air passage section 10c is located at one end of the two-device storage area 10a along the first direction. The air inlet end of the two-device storage area 10a is connected to the first air passage section 10c. The second direction intersects with the first direction.

[0069] The specific direction of the second direction is also not restricted. It can extend entirely along a straight line, or at least a portion of it can extend along a curve.

[0070] Specifically, the second direction can also be understood as the extension direction of the side wall of one side of the base 10, which is adjacent to the side where the two-device storage area 10a is located. That is, the second direction can also be understood as a straight line direction. In other words, after the base 10 is used on the clothing processing device 100, the air duct 10b can also be located on the periphery of the clothing processing device 100.

[0071] The angle between the second direction and the first direction is not limited, and can be related to the angle between the two sides adjacent to the base 10.

[0072] For example, when the base 10 is generally square, the first direction and the second direction can be orthogonal. In this embodiment, the storage area 10a of the two devices and the air passage 10b can form an L-shaped flow channel.

[0073] It should be noted that you should refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The garment processing equipment 100 includes a drum, which is one of the dryer drum 50 and the washing drum mentioned above.

[0074] To facilitate rotation of the cylinder, it is generally designed to be cylindrical.

[0075] It is understandable that when the top and bottom walls of the base 10 are considered as planar structures, there will be a large gap between the opposite sides of the cylindrical body and the base 10 along the rotation direction of the cylinder.

[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, there may be a large gap between the cylinder and the base 10 on opposite sides along the second direction. In other words, the base 10 can be designed with a larger dimension along the height direction on opposite sides along the second direction.

[0077] Both the storage area 10a and the first air passage section 10c are located on one side in the second direction. The dimension of the first air passage section 10c along the height direction is larger than the dimension of the second air passage section 10d along the height direction. That is, the dimension of the middle area of ​​the base 10 along the second direction along the height direction is smaller than the dimension of the side of the base 10 where the storage area 10a and the first air passage section 10c are formed along the height direction. This reduces the gap between the side of the base 10 where the storage area 10a and the first air passage section 10c are formed and the cylinder. In other words, the base 10 can make full use of the internal space of the clothing processing equipment 100 without... While increasing the overall height of the garment processing equipment 100, the dimensions of the first air passage section 10c and the two-device storage area 10a are maximized, increasing the airflow area and improving the drying performance of the garment processing equipment 100. In addition, the first air passage section 10c is located upstream of the two-device storage area 10a along the airflow direction. A filter assembly 20 can be installed in the first air passage section 10c. With the increased size of the first air passage section 10c, a larger filter assembly 20 can also be installed, thereby improving the filtration effect of the filter assembly 20 and further improving the drying performance of the garment processing equipment 100.

[0078] It should be noted that the method for determining the boundary line between the first air passage section 10c and the second air passage section 10d is not limited. For example, when a filter assembly 20 is provided in the air passage duct 10b, the boundary line between the first air passage section 10c and the second air passage section 10d can be the edge of the filter assembly 20 closest to the second air passage section 10d.

[0079] Another aspect of this application provides a base 10 as described in the above embodiments.

[0080] The cylinder has a rotation center line. The orthographic projection of the rotation center line along the height direction forms a first intersection point with the top of the side wall of the second air passage section 10d near the storage area 10a of the two devices. The height of the top wall of the first air passage section 10c is higher than the height of the first intersection point.

[0081] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 Let's take a clothes dryer tube 50 as an example for illustration.

[0082] The clothes dryer 50 can rotate around the rotation center line. The side wall of the second air passage section 10d, which is close to the storage area 10a of the two devices, is located below the clothes dryer 50. The maximum dimension along the height direction between the rotation center line and the peripheral wall of the clothes dryer 50 is close to the dimension between the rotation center line and the first intersection point. The first air passage section 10c is located on both sides of the rotation center line. Therefore, the height of the first air passage section 10c can be higher than the height of the first intersection point.

[0083] It should be noted that the method for making the dimension of the first air passage section 10c along the height direction larger than the dimension of the second air passage section 10d along the height direction is not limited. For example, the second air passage section 10d and the first air passage section 10c are formed as a stepped flow channel, that is, from the perspective of the first direction, both the first air passage section 10c and the second air passage section 10d are formed as square flow channels. The difference between the first air passage section 10c and the second air passage section 10d is that their dimensions along the height direction are different.

[0084] Of course, the first air passage section 10c itself can also be designed in a stepped manner. That is, the first air passage section 10c is formed by a combination of multiple square flow channels, and along the second air passage section 10d toward the direction close to the first air passage section 10c, the dimensions of at least some of the two adjacent square flow channels in the first air passage section 10c gradually increase in the height direction.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 Along the second direction, at least a portion of the top wall of the first air passage section 10c is inclined upward to form a first inclined wall 11.

[0086] Specifically, along the direction from the second air passage section 10d toward the first air passage section 10c, at least a portion of the top wall of the first air passage section 10c gradually slopes upward. This portion of the top wall is the first inclined wall 11. With the height of the bottom wall of the first air passage section 10c remaining unchanged, the dimension of the first air passage section 10c along the height direction can be increased.

[0087] It should be noted that the proportion of the first inclined wall 11 to the top wall of the first air passage section 10c is not limited.

[0088] For example, the top wall of the first air passage section 10c can be entirely formed as the first inclined wall 11, that is, along the second air passage section 10d toward the direction close to the first air passage section 10c, the dimension of the first air passage section 10c increases continuously in the height direction.

[0089] Of course, a portion of the top wall of the first air passage section 10c can also be formed as the first inclined wall 11, meaning that only a portion of the dimensions of the first air passage section 10c along the height direction are increased.

[0090] It should be noted that when a portion of the top wall of the first air passage section 10c is formed as the first inclined wall 11, the position of the first inclined wall 11 at the top of the first air passage section 10c is not limited.

[0091] For example, it can be located on either side of the first air passage section 10c along the second direction, or it can be located in the middle of the first air passage section 10c along the second direction.

[0092] It should be noted that the specific shape of the first inclined wall 11 is not limited. For example, please refer to [link to previous document]. Figure 2and Figure 5 The first inclined wall 11 is formed as a downwardly curved arc surface.

[0093] It is understandable that the arc-shaped first inclined wall 11 can be better adapted to the cylindrical body, resulting in a smaller gap between the first inclined wall 11 and the body, thereby further increasing the size of the first air passage section 10c along the height direction.

[0094] In other embodiments, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 5 Along the second direction, at least a portion of the bottom wall of the first air passage section 10c is inclined downward to form a second inclined wall 12.

[0095] The design concept of the second inclined wall 12 is similar to that of the first inclined wall 11, so it can be designed with reference to the first inclined wall 11. The function and effect of the second inclined wall 12 can also be understood with reference to the first inclined wall 11, and will not be elaborated here.

[0096] It should be noted that the specific shape of the second inclined wall 12 is also not limited. Please continue reading. Figure 2 and Figure 5 The second inclined wall 12 is formed as an upwardly curved arc surface.

[0097] Understandably, the arc-shaped second inclined wall 12 can be better fitted to the cylindrical body, resulting in a smaller gap between the second inclined wall 12 and the body, thereby further increasing the size of the first air passage section 10c along the height direction.

[0098] It should be noted that the structure of the base 10 for mounting the filter assembly 20 is not limited. In one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 An installation port 10e is formed within the first air passage section 10c, and along the airflow direction, the installation port 10e is located upstream of the storage area 10a for both devices. That is to say, the airflow will flow through the installation port 10e before entering the storage area 10a for both devices.

[0099] The mounting port 10e is used to install the filter assembly 20 of the garment processing equipment 100. That is, the airflow will first flow through the filter assembly 20 and then enter the heat exchanger storage area 10a. In this way, the airflow can be filtered before entering the heat exchanger storage area 10a to exchange heat with the heat exchanger 80. The lint, impurities and other debris carried by the airflow can be filtered out by the filter assembly 20, thereby reducing the risk of lint, impurities and other debris adhering to the heat exchanger 80.

[0100] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The mounting port 10e is tilted relative to the first direction.

[0101] In other words, after the filter assembly 20 is installed on the base 10, the filter assembly 20 can be tilted relative to the first direction. In this way, with the airflow area remaining unchanged, or with the same installation size, a larger filter assembly 20 can be used to increase the area of ​​the filter assembly 20, thereby further improving the filtration effect of the filter assembly 20.

[0102] Of course, the mounting port 10e can also be tilted relative to the height direction, or it can be tilted relative to a second direction.

[0103] It is understandable that as long as the installation port 10e is tilted relative to the airflow direction, a larger filter assembly 20 can be installed without changing the airflow area.

[0104] It should be noted that the specific angle at which the filter assembly 20 is tilted is not limited. For example, when the filter assembly 20 is tilted relative to the first direction, the angle between the filter assembly 20 and the first direction ranges from 30° to 85°, that is, the angle between the filter assembly 20 and the airflow direction ranges from 30° to 85°. The values ​​of the angle between the filter assembly 20 and the first direction are, for example, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, and 85°.

[0105] The method of forming the mounting port 10e is not limited. For example, please refer to... Figure 2 On the inner wall of the first air passage 10c, there is a stepped surface 13 that is opposite to the storage area 10a of the two devices, and the stepped surface 13 defines at least part of the installation opening 10e.

[0106] Specifically, an installation opening 10e is defined between the stepped surface 13 and the inner wall of the air duct 10b, and the stepped surface 13 facilitates the fixing of the filter assembly 20. For example, fastening holes can be provided on the stepped surface 13, and the filter assembly 20 is fixed to the fastening holes on the stepped surface 13 by fasteners such as bolts and screws.

[0107] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The filter assembly 20 does not extend beyond the inner wall of the first air passage section 10c. In this way, the frame of the filter assembly 20 will not obstruct the airflow within the first air passage section 10c, resulting in a relatively larger airflow area.

[0108] The type of filter assembly 20 is not limited. For example, a detachable type can be used, which allows the filter assembly 20 to be replaced after a period of use, thus ensuring the continuous filtration performance of the filter assembly 20.

[0109] For example, the filter assembly 20 can also be non-removable. Non-removable filter assembly 20 does not need to be replaced frequently, which makes it more convenient for users.

[0110] Understandably, the non-removable filter assembly 20 needs to be cleaned after a period of use to ensure its filtration effect.

[0111] For ease of cleaning of the filter assembly 20, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top of the mounting port 10e is provided with a mounting position 16, which is used to install a cleaning component 30 for cleaning the filter assembly 20.

[0112] By setting the mounting position 16, the cleaning component 30 can be easily installed. The cleaning component 30 is fixedly installed on the base 10 through the mounting position 16, which can improve the stability and reliability of the cleaning component 30.

[0113] The specific structure of the cleaning component 30 is not limited. Exemplarily, the cleaning component 30 includes a spray pipe with a spray nozzle, at least a portion of which is disposed above the filter assembly 20 so that the spray nozzle sprays cleaning medium toward the filter assembly 20.

[0114] Specifically, the cleaning component can spray a cleaning medium with a certain pressure and velocity toward the filter assembly 20. Thus, when the filter assembly 20 needs cleaning, such as before and / or after drying clothes, the lint and impurities on the filter assembly 20 can be cleaned by spraying the cleaning medium, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of the filter assembly 20 without the need for manual cleaning, improving the efficiency and convenience of cleaning the filter assembly 20.

[0115] It should be noted that the specific type of cleaning medium is not limited here; for example, it can be gas, water, a water-air mixture, other cleaning agents, or a mixture of cleaning agents. Preferably, water is used as the cleaning medium because it is low-cost, easy to use, and can meet cleaning needs.

[0116] The cleaning medium used in the filter assembly 20 needs to be drained from the base 10. In some embodiments, the cleaning medium can be drained by means of a water pump.

[0117] Of course, a drain outlet 10h can also be opened on the bottom wall of the first air passage section 10c. The cleaning medium can be directly discharged from the base 10 through the drain outlet 10h. The drain outlet 10h can be connected to the drainage system of the washing machine. In this way, the cleaning medium can be discharged to the floor drain using the same drainage system as the washing water used for washing clothes.

[0118] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The bottom wall of the first air passage section 10c forms at least a portion of the third inclined wall 14. That is, the third inclined wall 14 can be entirely formed by the bottom wall of the first air passage section 10c, or it can be partially formed by the bottom wall of the first air passage section 10c and partially formed by the bottom wall of the two-device storage area 10a.

[0119] The third inclined wall 14 is inclined upward along the direction of airflow.

[0120] The third inclined wall 14 can effectively reduce the risk of the cleaning medium sprayed from the cleaning component 30 flowing into the two-device storage area 10a. After the cleaning medium splashes onto the third inclined wall 14, the terrain of the side of the third inclined wall 14 closer to the two-device storage area 10a is higher along the airflow direction. The cleaning medium flows away from the two-device storage area 10a on the surface of the third inclined wall 14. When a drain outlet 10h is provided on the base 10, the cleaning medium flows towards the drain outlet 10h and is discharged from the base 10 through the drain outlet 10h.

[0121] It is understood that the dryer drum 50 is generally positioned above the base 10. To facilitate communication between the air duct 10b and the drying chamber 50a, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 An opening 10f is provided on the top wall of the air duct 10b to connect the air duct 10b with the drying chamber 50a of the clothing handling equipment 100, so that the airflow in the drying chamber 50a can enter the air duct 10b through the opening 10f.

[0122] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A positioning part 15 is provided on the top wall of the air duct 10b, which is used to position the front support 40 of the clothing processing equipment 100.

[0123] Understandably, part of the top wall of the air duct 10b is used to support the front support 40, and the front support 40 can be easily assembled through the positioning part 15.

[0124] It should be noted that the type of positioning part 15 is not limited. For example, the positioning part 15 can be a positioning shaft, and the front support 40 is provided with a positioning hole. The positioning shaft and the positioning hole cooperate through the shaft hole to make the positioning effect better.

[0125] Specifically, the positioning part 15 can be located at the end of the first air passage 10c that is far away from the second air passage 10d.

[0126] It is understandable that, since the top wall of the air passage 10b has an opening 10f, by placing the positioning part 15 at the end of the first air passage section 10c that is far away from the second air passage section 10d, the size of the opening 10f can be guaranteed as much as possible, thereby ensuring the airflow and thus ensuring the drying performance of the clothing processing equipment 100.

[0127] Furthermore, a positioning part 15 can also be provided at the end of the base 10 away from the first air passage section 10c along the second direction. That is, positioning parts 15 are provided at both ends of the base 10 along the second direction. In this way, by positioning at two places, the front support 40 will not rotate after being positioned on the base 10.

[0128] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The first air passage section 10c has a mold outlet 10g on its side wall away from the storage area 10a along the first direction. In this way, the mold outlet 10g can facilitate the demolding of a part of the air passage duct 10b along the first direction.

[0129] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 When the top wall of the air passage 10b is provided with an opening 10f, the mold can be ejected through the opening 10f. However, when the top wall of the air passage 10b needs to be used to support the front support 40, the opening 10f cannot fully extend to the side of the first air passage section 10c away from the second air passage section 10d. That is, a part of the first air passage section 10c is blocked by its top wall when it ejects along the top direction. By using the ejection port 10g provided along the second direction, the first air passage section 10c can be ejected through the ejection port 10g, which facilitates the molding of the base 10.

[0130] Furthermore, when the first air passage section 10c is provided with an installation port 10e, the mold outlet 10g can facilitate the insertion of assembly tools, thereby enabling the filter assembly 20 to be installed at the installation port 10e.
