[0030] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of the present application and should not be regarded as an improper limitation on the present application.

[0031] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "longitudinal direction", "lateral direction", "height direction", "top", "bottom", "first direction" and the like indicate directions or positional relationships based on the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 The orientation or position relationship shown in the figure is only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] The embodiment of the present application provides a base device for a clothes processing device. The clothes processing device can at least be used to dry clothes.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 5 The base device 100 includes a base 10 and a filter assembly 20. The base 10 is provided with a two-device storage area 10a. The two-device storage area 10a is used to accommodate two devices of the clothing processing device, and the air inlet end 10b of the two-device storage area 10a is connected to the clothing processing chamber of the clothing processing device. In other words, by arranging a condensation and dehumidification device in the two-device storage area 10a, the lint, impurities, etc. generated by the clothes during the drying process are mixed into the hot and humid airflow, and the hot and humid airflow carries the lint and impurities out of the clothing processing chamber and flows through the air inlet end 10b to the condensation and dehumidification device arranged in the two-device storage area 10a. The filter assembly 20 is arranged at the air inlet end 10b, wherein the direction of the airflow passing through the two devices is limited to a first direction, and the filter assembly 20 is arranged obliquely relative to the first direction, and is used to filter the lint, impurities, etc. mixed in the airflow.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application provides a clothes processing device for drying clothes, specifically comprising the base device 100 described in the embodiment of the present application.

[0035] The clothes treating device has an air circulation channel, and the air flow in the air circulation channel dries the clothes.

[0036] It should be noted that the specific type of the clothes processing device is not limited here, as long as it can be used to dry clothes, for example, it can be a clothes dryer or a washer-dryer. The embodiment of the present application is described by taking the clothes processing device as a washer-dryer as an example.

[0037] The washer-dryer can wash and dry clothes. The washer-dryer includes a frame, a washing device, a drying device and a base 10. The frame is the main supporting structure, which is used for fixing and supporting other parts of the washer-dryer; the washing device is fixed to the frame, used for washing clothes, and a washing cavity for accommodating clothes is formed inside; the drying device is fixed to the frame, and is preferably arranged above the washing device. The drying device is used for drying washed clothes, and a clothes processing cavity is formed inside. The base 10 is arranged between the washing device and the drying device, and is fixedly connected to the frame.

[0038] The clothes drying device comprises: a clothes drying drum, a front support and a door body. A clothes processing chamber for accommodating clothes is formed inside the clothes drying drum; the front support is fixed to the frame and is used to support the clothes drying drum; and a clothes taking-in and putting-out opening communicating with the clothes processing chamber is arranged on the front support, through which clothes can be taken-in and put-out into the clothes processing chamber; the door body is connected to the frame and / or the front support, and the door body can reciprocate relative to the frame to close or open the clothes taking-in and putting-out opening.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 5 The base 10 is provided with two-device storage areas 10a, and the air inlet ends 10b of the two-device storage areas 10a are connected to the clothing processing chamber of the clothing processing equipment. The drying device has an air circulation passage, and the two-device storage areas 10a and the clothing processing chamber are both located on the air flow path of the air circulation passage.

[0040] It should be noted that the two-device storage area 10a is used to accommodate two devices of the clothing processing equipment, and the two devices include a condensing and dehumidifying device for cooling and dehumidifying the airflow, and a heating device for heating the dehumidified gas.

[0041] Specifically, the hot and humid airflow discharged from the clothing processing chamber enters the two-device storage area 10a, and becomes a low-temperature dry airflow after being condensed and dehumidified by the condensation and dehumidification device. The fan sends the dry hot airflow into the clothing processing chamber. In the clothing processing chamber, the dry hot airflow flows through the surface of the wet clothes, exchanges heat and moisture with the wet clothes, absorbs moisture in the clothes, and becomes a hot and humid airflow. During the drying process, the lint and impurities generated by the clothes are mixed into the hot and humid airflow, and the hot and humid airflow flows out of the clothing processing chamber with the lint and impurities. The hot and humid airflow flows through the condensation and dehumidification device, and forms a low-temperature dry airflow after being condensed and dehumidified by the condensation and dehumidification device. The low-temperature dry airflow flows through the heating device to form a dry hot airflow. The dry hot airflow enters the clothing processing chamber again, and the cycle runs in this way to achieve continuous and efficient drying of clothes.

[0042] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 5The filter assembly 20 is arranged at the air inlet end 10b, and the air inlet end 10b of the two-device storage area 10a is connected to the clothing processing chamber, that is, the filter assembly 20 is arranged upstream of the condensation and dehumidification device along the air flow direction to filter the fluff, impurities, etc. mixed in the air flow. In other words, the hot and humid air flow first flows through the filter assembly 20 and then flows through the condensation and dehumidification device.

[0043] The specific types of the condensation and dehumidification device and the heating device are not limited. For example, in some embodiments, the clothes drying device is a heat pump clothes drying device, the condensation and dehumidification device is the evaporator 40 of the heat pump system, and the heating device is the condenser 50 of the heat pump system. The evaporator 40 and the condenser 50 are both arranged in the two-device storage area 10a in the base 10.

[0044] Exemplarily, the laundry treatment device includes a heat pump system, see Figure 1 The evaporator 40, the condenser 50 and the compressor 60 constitute a part of a heat pump system, that is, the clothing processing device of the embodiment of the present application uses heat pump technology to dry clothing.

[0045] The working principle of the heat pump system is as follows: the compressor 60 sucks in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is compressed by the compressor 60 and discharged at high pressure. The discharged high-pressure refrigerant enters the condenser 50, is cooled by the air at room temperature, and condenses into a high-pressure liquid (at the same time, transfers heat to the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the condenser 50 will be heated and heated up; the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the capillary tube throttling and decompression, becomes a low-pressure and low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture, and then enters the evaporator 40, where the liquid refrigerant evaporates and cools in the evaporator 40 (at the same time, absorbs heat from the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the evaporator 40 will be cooled and cooled down, and the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant generated is sucked in by the compressor 60 again and pressurized, and this cycle repeats continuously to achieve heat exchange. It should be noted that the capillary tube mentioned above can also be replaced by an expansion valve.

[0046] The working process and clothes drying principle of the clothes processing device of the embodiment of the present application are as follows: the dry hot air flow in the air circulation channel enters the clothes processing chamber from the downstream of the air circulation channel along the air flow direction. In the clothes processing chamber, the dry hot air flow flows through the surface of the wet clothes, exchanges heat and moisture with the wet clothes, absorbs moisture in the clothes, and becomes a humid hot air flow. The humid hot air flow flows through the evaporator 40 and the condenser 50 in sequence. In the process of flowing through the evaporator 40, the humid hot air flow is condensed and dehumidified by the evaporator 40 to form a low-temperature dry air flow. The low-temperature dry air flow is heated to a dry hot air flow when passing through the condenser 50. The dry hot air flow enters the clothes processing chamber again from the downstream of the air circulation channel, and the cycle runs in this way to achieve continuous and efficient drying of clothes.

[0047] The heat pump type clothes drying device achieves high utilization of energy 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 clothes.

[0048] See also Figure 2 By defining the direction of the airflow passing through the two devices as the first direction D, the filter assembly 20 is arranged obliquely relative to the first direction D. In other words, the filter assembly 20 is arranged obliquely relative to the direction of the airflow passing through the two devices.

[0049] It should be noted that the specific direction of the first direction D is not limited here, that is, the direction of the airflow passing through the two devices is not limited here. For example, the two-device storage area 10a extends in the longitudinal direction of the clothing processing device, and the air inlet end 10b is arranged at one end of the two-device storage area 10a in the longitudinal direction, that is, the airflow passes through the two devices in the longitudinal direction. In other words, the filter assembly 20 is inclined relative to the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the first direction D is the longitudinal direction of the base 10, and the transverse direction of the base 10 is perpendicular to the first direction D, that is, the transverse direction of the base 10 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

[0050] The base device provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a base 10 having two-device storage areas 10a and an air inlet end 10b. The two-device storage areas 10a are connected to the clothing processing chamber of the clothing processing device through the air inlet end 10b, and the filter assembly 20 is provided at the air inlet end 10b. During the drying process, lint, impurities, etc. generated by the clothes are mixed into the hot and humid airflow, and the hot and humid airflow carries the lint and impurities out of the clothing processing chamber and flows through the air inlet end 10b to the condensation and dehumidification device provided in the two-device storage area 10a. The filter assembly 20 is provided at the air inlet end 10b to filter the lint, impurities, etc. mixed in the airflow. By limiting the direction of the airflow flowing through the two devices to the first direction D, the filter assembly 20 is inclined relative to the first direction D. That is to say, the filter assembly 20 is arranged to be inclined relative to the direction of the air flow through the two devices. In this way, when the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the air inlet end 10b remains unchanged, or when the installation size is the same, a larger filter assembly 20 can be used to increase the area of ​​the filter 22 and enhance the filtering effect. To a certain extent, it can prevent lint and impurities entrained in the air flow from entering and damaging the condensing and dehumidifying device, thereby improving the drying performance of the clothing processing equipment.

[0051] It should be noted that the larger the area of ​​the filter 22, the better the filtering effect on the fluff and impurities in the airflow. By tilting the filter assembly 20 relative to the direction of the airflow passing through the two devices, a larger filter assembly 20 can be used to increase the area of ​​the filter 22 and improve the filtering effect while keeping the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the air inlet end 10b unchanged or under the same installation dimensions. Figure 2 and Figure 3In the top projection of the base 10, the filter assembly 20 is tilted relative to the first direction D. That is to say, the filter assembly 20 forms a certain acute angle with the first direction D, that is, it is neither parallel nor perpendicular. In this embodiment, the filter assembly 20 is tilted relative to the first direction D. The filter assembly 20 can increase the resistance of the fluff and impurities entrained in the airflow to enter the two-device storage area 10a, and can also take into account that the filter assembly 20 has a suitable installation size along the lateral direction. The filter assembly 20 can be tilted relative to the lateral direction of the base 10 toward the side close to the two-device storage area 10a, that is, it is tilted backward relative to the lateral direction of the base 10, and it can also be tilted relative to the lateral direction of the base 10 toward the side away from the two-device storage area 10a, that is, it is tilted forward relative to the lateral direction of the base 10.

[0052] In other embodiments, the filter assembly 20 is tilted relative to the height direction of the base 10. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the filter assembly 20 is tilted relative to the height direction of the base 10, that is, the plane where the filter assembly 20 is located is at a certain acute angle to the height direction of the base 10, that is, it is neither parallel nor perpendicular. In this embodiment, the plane where the filter assembly 20 is located can be parallel to the transverse direction of the base 10, or can be tilted relative to the transverse direction of the base 10.

[0053] See also Figure 2 , the angle range A between the filter assembly 20 and the first direction D is 30° to 85°, that is, the angle range between the filter assembly 20 and the direction of the airflow passing through the two devices is 30° to 85°, wherein the continuous dotted line with an arrow represents the first direction D, that is, the longitudinal direction. The value of the angle A between the filter assembly 20 and the first direction D is, for example, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, etc. Correspondingly, the angle range between the filter assembly 20 and the transverse direction of the base 10 is 5° to 60°.

[0054] This inclination angle range can take into account both the installation dimensions in the lateral direction and the resistance of the filter assembly 20, that is, the filter assembly 20 in this angle range can increase the resistance of lint and impurities entrained in the airflow entering the two-device storage area 10a, so that the lint and impurities cannot enter the two-device storage area 10a, but does not affect the airflow entering the two-device storage area 10a, that is, it can achieve the effect of improving the filtering effect of lint and impurities entrained in the airflow without affecting the air volume in the airflow circulation channel.

[0055] It should be noted that since the filter assembly 20 can be installed and fixed to the base 10 through the edge, the portion of the filter assembly 20 corresponding to the air inlet end 10b is not necessarily coplanar with the edge of the filter assembly 20. Therefore, the angle between the filter assembly 20 and the first direction D described in the embodiment of the present application refers to the angle between the portion of the filter assembly 20 corresponding to the air inlet end 10b and the first direction D, that is, the angle between at least the portion of the filter assembly 20 corresponding to the air inlet end 10b and the first direction D ranges from 30° to 85°.

[0056] Preferably, the angle range A between the filter assembly 20 and the first direction D is 70° to 80°.

[0057] It should be noted that the inclination of the filter assembly 20 is not limited here. For example, the filter assembly 20 can be tilted in all areas or in part. Figure 3 The filter assembly includes a first section 20a, a second section 20b and a third section 20c which are connected in sequence. The first section 20a and the third section 20c are arranged in parallel, and the second section 20b is arranged obliquely relative to the first section 20a.

[0058] Thus, by providing mutually parallel first section 20a and third section 20c at opposite ends of the filter assembly 20, it is convenient to connect the filter assembly 20 with the base through the first section 20a and the third section 20c. In addition, compared with the filter assembly 20 in which the entire area is inclined, by providing mutually parallel first section 20a and third section 20c, the filtering area of ​​the filter assembly 20 can be increased, thereby improving the filtering effect.

[0059] For example, along the arrangement direction of the first section 20a, the second section 20b and the third section 20c, the size of the first section 20a is larger than the size of the third section 20c. In other words, the size of the first section 20a is different from the size of the third section 20c, so that the filtering area of ​​the filter assembly 20 can be further increased, thereby further improving the filtering effect.

[0060] Of course, in other embodiments, the size of the first section 20a may be smaller than the size of the third section 20c.

[0061] For example, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The filter assembly 20 includes a frame 21 and a filter 22 disposed on the frame 21, and the frame 21 is connected to the base 10. The frame 21 mainly serves to connect with the base 10 and support the filter 22, and the filter 22 is used to filter the fluff and impurities entrained in the airflow. The frame 21 is formed with a hollow area, and the filter 22 is at least disposed in the hollow area. The airflow flows through the filter 22 and the hollow area respectively and then enters the two-device storage area 10a.

[0062] The frame 21 is generally in a plate-like structure, and the filter 22 can be arranged on the side of the frame 21 away from the two-device storage area 10a, that is, located at the front side of the frame 21. It can also be arranged on the side of the frame 21 facing the two-device storage area 10a, that is, located at the rear side of the frame 21. Of course, the filter 22 can also be arranged on both sides of the frame 21.

[0063] The specific connection method for fixing the filter assembly 20 to the base 10 is not limited here. For example, the filter assembly 20 and the base 10 can be fixed by a magnetic connection, a snap connection, a fastening connection or a plug-in connection.

[0064] The fastening connection includes but is not limited to screw connection, bolt connection or rivet connection and the like.

[0065] It is understandable that during the drying process, the filter assembly 20 is used to filter lint, impurities, etc. mixed in the air flow. After a period of use, a large amount of lint, impurities, etc. will accumulate on the filter assembly 20. In order to avoid reducing the ventilation volume of the drying gas due to excessive accumulation of lint and impurities, the lint, impurities, etc. on the filter assembly 20 need to be cleaned. In the related art, in order to ensure the air permeability of the filter assembly 20, it is necessary to clean the attached lint and impurities. Since the filter assembly 20 cannot be automatically cleaned, the filter assembly 20 is usually cleaned manually after each drying of the clothes. In this way, there is a problem that the cleaning process of the filter assembly 20 is cumbersome and the convenience of use is low. In order to achieve self-cleaning of the filter assembly 20 and improve the convenience of use, the base device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the base device 100 includes a cleaning component, and the cleaning component is used to clean the filter assembly 20. That is, when the filter assembly 20 needs to be cleaned, the filter assembly 20 is automatically cleaned by controlling the cleaning component, so that the filter assembly 20 is automatically cleaned, and the entire cleaning process does not require manual cleaning, which improves the convenience of cleaning the filter assembly 20, thereby improving the convenience of actual use of the clothing processing device.

[0066] It should be noted that the specific assembly method of the cleaning component is not limited here. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the cleaning assembly is arranged on the base 10, that is, the cleaning assembly is fixedly mounted on the base 10, so as to improve the stability and reliability of the cleaning assembly. In other embodiments, the cleaning assembly is arranged on the filter assembly 20, that is, the cleaning assembly is fixedly mounted on the filter assembly 20. In still other embodiments, the cleaning assembly is arranged on the base 10 and the filter assembly 20, that is, a part of the cleaning assembly is fixedly mounted on the filter assembly 20, and another part is fixedly mounted on the base 10.

[0067] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cleaning assembly includes a spray pipe 30 having a spray port, and at least a portion of the spray pipe 30 is disposed above the filter assembly 20 so that the spray port sprays the cleaning medium toward the filter assembly 20 .

[0068] Specifically, the cleaning component can spray a cleaning medium with a certain pressure and speed toward the filter assembly 20. In this way, when the filter assembly 20 needs to be cleaned, for example, before and / or after drying the clothes, the lint and impurities on the filter assembly 20 can be cleaned by spraying the cleaning medium, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of the filter assembly 20, eliminating the need for manual disassembly and cleaning of the filter assembly 20, and improving the cleaning efficiency and convenience of the filter assembly 20.

[0069] It should be noted that the specific type of cleaning medium is not limited here, for example, it can be gas, water, water-gas mixture, other cleaning agents, or cleaning agent mixtures, etc. Preferably, the cleaning medium is set to water, which is low in cost, easy to use, and can meet cleaning requirements.

[0070] The cleaning component is installed on the base 10 and / or the filter assembly 20, and the installation position is such that the sprayed cleaning medium can directly flush and clean the filter assembly 20, and the cleaning direction of the cleaning medium spraying can be the same as the flow direction of the drying gas, or can be opposite to the flow direction of the drying gas. The specific setting method can be selected as needed. Exemplarily, at least part of the spray pipe 30 is arranged above the filter assembly 20, that is, the spray pipe 30 sprays the cleaning medium from the top of the filter assembly 20 toward the filter assembly 20, which is conducive to cleaning the filter assembly 20, improving the cleaning efficiency and saving the cleaning medium.

[0071] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The spray pipe 30 is disposed at the top of the filter assembly 20 and extends along the extension direction of the filter assembly 20. In other words, the extension direction of the spray pipe 30 is the same as the extension direction of the filter assembly 20, so that the spray port of the spray pipe 30 is conducive to spraying the cleaning medium toward the filter assembly 20.

[0072] In order to improve the cleaning efficiency of the filter assembly 20, the spray pipe 30 is provided with a plurality of spray ports, each of which is arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the filter assembly 20, and each of which is directed to a different position of the filter assembly 20. In this way, different positions of the filter assembly 20 can be cleaned at the same time, ensuring that all parts of the filter assembly 20 can be flushed and cleaned, thereby improving the cleanliness of the filter assembly 20.

[0073] Of course, there may be multiple spray pipes 30 .

[0074] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, “plurality” refers to a number including two or more than two.

[0075] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The base 10 is provided with a drain port 10c, which is located on the side of the filter assembly 20 away from the two-device storage area 10a, and the drain port 10c is used to discharge the cleaning medium. It can be understood that when the filter assembly 20 needs to be cleaned, the cleaning assembly cleans the fluff and impurities on the filter assembly 20 by spraying the cleaning medium, that is, the fluff and impurities accumulated on the filter assembly 20 follow the cleaning medium to separate from the filter assembly 20 and enter the base 10. In order to discharge the cleaning medium mixed with fluff and impurities from the base 10 in time, a drain port 10c is provided on the base 10 on the side of the filter assembly 20 away from the two-device storage area 10a, so that the cleaning medium flows through the filter assembly 20 and is directly discharged through the drain port 10c with the fluff and impurities, thereby avoiding the cleaning medium from flowing into other areas of the clothing processing device and affecting the normal use of other components.

[0076] It should be noted that the drain port 10c is not limited to a specific pipe route as long as it can discharge the cleaning medium. For example, the drain port 10c can be directly connected to the outside of the clothing processing device, that is, the cleaning medium can be directly discharged to the outside of the clothing processing device through the drain port 10c. It can also be connected to the front end of the drainage pump of the laundry device. When the washing machine is in use, the cleaning medium can be discharged from the clothing processing device together with the water in the washing machine through the drainage pump. When the washing machine is not in use, the cleaning medium can be discharged from the clothing processing device alone through the drainage pump.

[0077] For example, see Figure 5 The base 10 includes a water retaining structure 10d disposed between the two-device storage area 10a and the filter assembly 20, and the water retaining structure 10d is used to block the cleaning medium sprayed out of the spray port. It should be noted that since the filter assembly 20 is disposed at the air inlet end 10b, and the cleaning assembly is used to spray a cleaning medium with a certain pressure and speed toward the filter assembly 20 for cleaning the filter assembly 20, there is a part of the cleaning medium that inevitably splashes or flows toward the two-device storage area 10a. By providing a water retaining structure 10d on the base 10, it is used to prevent liquids such as cleaning media from entering the two-device storage area 10a through the air inlet end 10b, thereby preventing liquids such as cleaning media from entering the two-device storage area 10a, thereby preventing liquids such as cleaning media from entering the condensation dehumidification device in the two-device storage area 10a, thereby improving the drying performance. At the same time, it can prevent liquids such as cleaning media from being sucked away by the fan and re-entering the dryer, further improving the drying performance.

[0078] It should be noted that the specific location of the water retaining structure 10d is not limited here. For example, please refer to Figure 5 The water retaining structure 10d is arranged at the air inlet end 10b, and the filter assembly 20 abuts against the water retaining structure 10d, or the filter assembly 20 is connected to the end of the water retaining structure 10d.

[0079] It should be noted that the water retaining structure 10d is used to block the cleaning medium and other liquids sprayed out of the spray port, but the impact on the airflow entering the two-device storage area 10a should be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, the height of the water retaining structure 10d cannot be too high. As a result, the cleaning medium flowing through the filter assembly 20 will inevitably splash or flow onto the water retaining structure 10d. For example, in some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 5 The water retaining structure 10d has a guide surface 10e, and the guide surface 10e gradually tilts upward along the flow direction of the airflow in the two-device storage area 10a.

[0080] That is, by setting the guide surface 10e on the top of the water retaining structure 10d, the guide surface 10e gradually tilts upward as it moves away from the filter assembly 20, so that the liquid splashed or flowing to the guide surface 10e can flow along the guide surface 10e through the filter assembly 20 to the drain port 10c and be discharged through the drain port 10c. In this way, while preventing the liquid such as the cleaning medium from entering the evaporator 40 and the condenser 50 in the two-device storage area 10a, it is also helpful to speed up the discharge of the liquid such as the cleaning medium from the drain port 10c. In addition, the guide surface 10e can also guide the flow of the airflow, which is beneficial for the hot and humid airflow to flow to the condensation dehumidification device, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0081] Exemplarily, the laundry processing device includes a belt and a pulley, the pulley is connected to the motor shaft of the motor, and the belt is wound around the circumference of the drying drum and the pulley. That is, the motor can drive the drying drum to rotate.

[0082] When the clothes drying device is drying clothes, the motor can drive the fan and the pulley to rotate at the same time, and the pulley drives the dryer to rotate. During the rotation of the dryer, the clothes are turned over and shaken in the clothes processing chamber, which can accelerate the heat exchange between the clothes and the dry hot air flow.
