Specific embodiments

[0040] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described below. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0041] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0042] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an air conditioning device 10 for a laundry treatment device, and the laundry treatment device includes: a box body (not shown in the figure) and a laundry treatment drum 20 provided in the box body.

[0043] Among them, there is a heat exchange channel 30 communicating with the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 20 between the box body and the laundry treatment drum 20.

[0044] Exemplarily, the laundry treatment device may be, for example, a dryer, a washing and drying integrated machine, etc. The laundry treatment device may further include a driving structure 50, and the driving structure 50 is, for example, a driving motor. The driving structure 50 is electrically connected to the laundry treatment drum 20 and is used to drive the laundry treatment drum 20 to rotate. The laundry treatment drum 20 may be, for example, an inner drum, or the laundry treatment drum 20 includes an inner drum and an outer tub (not shown in the figure) sleeved outside the inner drum. There is a gap between the outer tub and the inner drum, and the driving structure 50 can drive the inner drum to rotate. The inner drum has a laundry feeding port. When treating laundry, laundry and the like can be fed into the laundry treatment drum 20 through the laundry feeding port, and the driving structure 50 drives the laundry treatment drum 20 to rotate to realize the treatment of the laundry.

[0045] Specifically, the laundry treatment device further includes a heat pump heat exchange system 70, and at least part of the heat pump heat exchange system 70 is disposed in the heat exchange channel 30. For example, a blower 60 can be disposed in the heat exchange channel 30, and the driving structure 50 is electrically connected to the blower 60. Under the action of the blower 60, air flows between the heat exchange channel 30 and the laundry treatment drum, and the air is heat-exchanged by the heat pump heat exchange system 70, thereby realizing drying of the laundry in the laundry treatment drum 20.

[0046] Specifically, the heat pump heat exchange system 70 includes a compressor 701, a condenser 702, an evaporator 703, and a throttling member 704 (wherein, the throttling member 704 can be, for example, a capillary tube, an electronic expansion valve, etc.). The compressor 701 is connected between the heat exchange medium outlet of the evaporator 703 and the heat exchange medium inlet of the condenser 702, and the throttling member 704 is connected between the heat exchange medium outlet of the condenser 702 and the heat exchange medium inlet of the evaporator 703.

[0047] Exemplarily, Figure 1 The solid arrows in represent the circulation flow path of the heat exchange medium, Figure 1 and the dashed arrows in represent the circulation flow path of the air. When the heat pump heat exchange system 70 operates, the compressor 701 sucks in a low-pressure gaseous heat exchange medium (such as a refrigerant), and the heat exchange medium is discharged into the condenser 702 in a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous state after being compressed by the compressor 701, and exchanges heat with the air entering the heat exchange channel 30. After the air is heated, the heat exchange medium is cooled by the air and condenses to form a high-pressure liquid, and then enters the evaporator 703 after being throttled by the throttling member 704 to exchange heat with the air in the heat exchange channel 30, that is, absorbs the heat in the air to condense the moisture in the air to achieve dehumidification. Then, the heat exchange medium in the evaporator 703 absorbs heat and becomes a gaseous low-temperature heat exchange medium, which is sent back to the compressor 701 to be pressurized by the compressor 701, and circulates in this way to achieve heat exchange.

[0048] Among them, the air conditioning device 10 includes a housing 1, an adjusting structure 2, and an air conditioner 3 disposed in the housing 1. At least part of the housing 1 is located between the heat exchange channel 30 and the laundry treatment drum 20. The housing 1 is provided with a volatilization part 11 for at least volatilizing the air conditioner 3, and the volatilization part 11 communicates with the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 20. The adjusting structure 2 can move relative to the housing 1 to adjust the opening and closing state of the volatilization part 11.

[0049] Specifically, the opening and closing state of the volatilization part 11 includes an open state and a closed state, wherein the open state includes a partially open state and a fully open state.

[0050] Among them, the volatilization part 11 can specifically be a volatilization hole opened on the housing 1, or a volatilization port opened on the housing 1, or other structures that can communicate with the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 20 for volatilizing the air conditioner 3.

[0051] Among them, the specific situation where at least part of the above-mentioned housing 1 is located between the heat exchange channel 30 and the laundry treatment drum 20 can be: the housing 1 is located in the laundry treatment drum 20, or the housing 1 is located in the heat exchange channel 30, or a part of the housing 1 is located in the laundry treatment drum 20 and another part of the housing 1 is located in the heat exchange channel 30.

[0052] The air conditioning device of the laundry treatment equipment provided in this embodiment, by setting the housing 1, the adjustment structure 2, and the air conditioner 3 located in the housing 1, makes at least part of the housing 1 located between the heat exchange channel 30 and the laundry treatment drum 20. A volatilization part 11 for at least the volatilization of the air conditioner 3 is provided on the housing 1, the volatilization part 11 is communicated with the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 20, and the adjustment structure 2 can move relative to the housing 1 to adjust the opening and closing state of the volatilization part 11. With such a setting, since at least part of the housing 1 is located between the heat exchange channel 30 and the laundry treatment drum 20, and the volatilization part 11 on the housing 1 is communicated with the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 20, thus while drying the clothes, the air flowing between the heat exchange channel and the laundry treatment drum can be adjusted by using the air conditioner, and then the laundry and other loads in the laundry treatment drum 20 can be processed, such as the clothes can be scented, sterilized, etc., improving the cleaning effect of the clothes and enabling the laundry treatment equipment to meet the user's usage requirements. At the same time, since the adjustment structure 2 can move relative to the housing 1, the opening and closing state of the volatilization part 11 can be adjusted, improving the flexibility of use, thus to a certain extent avoiding the situation where the air conditioner 3 volatilizes throughout the entire laundry treatment process, reducing the consumption rate of the air conditioner 3 to a certain extent, and prolonging the service life of the air conditioner 3.

[0053] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 3 includes a fragrance agent. In this way, the fragrance agent can be used to scent and deodorize the air and the clothes in the laundry treatment inner drum, avoiding the situation of remaining odors after the clothes are dried to a certain extent, making the user more comfortable when wearing the dried clothes, and the clothes contaminated with odors but not requiring washing can be scented.

[0054] Exemplarily, the fragrance agent can be packaged in a packaging bag to form a fragrance packet, or it can also be a fragrance block, a fabric softener with fragrance, essential oil, etc.

[0055] Of course, in other embodiments, the air conditioner 3 can also be a bactericide, a disinfectant or other volatile reagents for sterilizing and disinfecting the air in the laundry treatment drum 20 and the heat exchange channel 30.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the adjusting structure 2 is arranged in the inner cavity of the housing 1. With such an arrangement, while realizing the adjustment of the opening and closing of the volatilizing part 11, by arranging the adjusting structure 2 inside the housing 1, the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioning device 10 can be ensured to a certain extent. Moreover, compared with the solution of arranging the adjusting structure outside the housing, the above arrangement can also avoid the interference between the adjusting structure 2 and other surrounding structures to a certain extent, and at the same time provide a certain degree of protection for the adjusting structure 2.

[0057] In other implementation manners, the adjusting structure can also be arranged outside the housing 1, as long as it can realize the adjustment of the opening and closing of the volatilizing part 11.

[0058] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the adjusting structure 2 includes a temperature sensing member 21 and a moving assembly 22. The moving assembly 22 is connected to the temperature sensing member 21. The temperature sensing member 21 can expand or contract with the change of temperature, and drive the moving assembly 22 to move inside the housing 1 to open or shield at least part of the volatilizing part 11.

[0059] In addition, in addition to translation, the adjusting structure 2 can also rotate relative to the housing 1, as long as it can realize the opening and closing of the volatilizing part 11.

[0060] Exemplarily, Figure 5 It shows a curve graph of the air temperature and time entering the laundry drum 20 when the laundry drum 20 is in the air inlet state, with three laundry treatment devices of different capacities in different drying states. Among them, S1 corresponds to the curve graph of the laundry treatment device with a capacity of three kilograms in the fast drying state, S2 corresponds to the curve graph of the laundry treatment device with a capacity of ten kilograms in the conventional drying state, and S3 corresponds to the curve graph of the laundry treatment device with a capacity of five kilograms in the energy-saving drying state.

[0061] From Figure 5 It can be seen that from the start of drying to before the drying time critical value (here the time critical value refers to the moment when as time goes on, the air temperature in the laundry drum 20 hardly changes any more as time continues to pass), the air temperature in the laundry drum 20 will show a gradually rising trend as time goes on, that is, the air temperature will gradually increase.

[0062] When the air temperature rises, the temperature sensing member 21 is gradually heated and expands, and when the air temperature drops, the temperature sensing member 21 will contract. Thus, according to the different air temperatures, the temperature sensing member 21 drives the moving assembly 22 to move, and adjusts the opening and closing of the volatilizing part 11. In this way, the adjustment method of the volatilizing part 11 is simple and flexible, so that no additional control structure needs to be set, simplifying the usage method of the entire laundry treatment device and reducing the cost to a certain extent.

[0063] Of course, in some other embodiments, a driving member may also be provided, and the driving member is electrically connected to the adjusting structure 2 and the controller of the laundry treating device respectively. The movement state of the adjusting structure 2 is controlled by the driving member to adjust the opening and closing of the volatilizing part 11. For example, twenty minutes after the start of drying, the controller may control the driving member to drive the adjusting structure 2 to move to open the volatilizing part 11. For example, forty minutes after the start of drying, the controller may control the driving member to drive the adjusting structure 2 to move to close the volatilizing part 11 until the drying is completed.

[0064] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown, an avoidance part 12 is provided on the housing 1, and the temperature sensing member 21 extends out from the avoidance part 12 to be exposed outside the housing 1.

[0065] With such a setting, the temperature sensing member 21 can timely and sensitively sense the change in the air temperature between the heat exchange channel 30 and the laundry treating drum 20, improving the rate during the opening and closing adjustment of the volatilizing part 11 and ensuring the effect of treating the air and the laundry.

[0066] Among them, the avoidance part 12 may specifically be an avoidance hole opened on the housing 1, or an avoidance opening opened on the housing 1, or other structures that can expose the temperature sensing member 21 outside the housing 1.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown, the moving component 22 includes a partition member 221. The partition member 221 divides the inner cavity of the housing 1 into two chambers 13. The temperature sensing member 21 is located in one of the chambers 13. The temperature sensing member 21 is connected to the partition member 221, and an air conditioner 3 is provided in at least one of the chambers 13.

[0068] Among them, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown, the volume sizes of the two chambers 13 change with the different moving positions of the partition member 221 in the inner cavity of the housing 1. Exemplarily, for example, when the partition member 221 gradually moves downward in Figure 2 to the position shown in Figure 3 , the lower chamber 13 in Figure 3 gradually becomes smaller.

[0069] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 4 as shown, the moving component 22 further includes an elastic member 222. The elastic member 222 and the temperature sensing member 21 are respectively arranged in different chambers 13. One end of the elastic member 222 is connected to the housing 1, and the other end of the elastic member 222 is connected to the partition member 221.

[0070] Exemplarily, when the air temperature rises, the temperature-sensitive member 21 expands, drives the partition member 221 to move and compresses the elastic member 222. When the air temperature drops, the temperature-sensitive member 21 contracts, drives the partition member 221 to move, and at this time, the partition member 221 will also move under the resilience of the elastic member 222, thereby improving the convenience of the movement of the partition member 221, making it more convenient to use. Moreover, this can also provide a certain degree of buffer protection for the partition member 221, the temperature-sensitive member 21, the air conditioner 3, etc., ensuring the stability and reliability during the movement process.

[0071] Exemplarily, the elastic member 222 can be, for example, a spring, an elastic rope, etc.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the partition member 221 is a partition board, and the air conditioner 3 and the temperature-sensitive member 21 are located in the same chamber 13. The outer contour shape of the partition board is adapted to the inner cavity shape of the housing 1, and the gap between the outer edge of the partition board and the inner wall of the housing 1 is less than a preset gap. The volatilization part 11 is arranged on the housing wall of the housing 1 corresponding to the chamber 13 where the air conditioner 3 is located. Exemplarily, the preset gap can be, for example, between 0.01 mm and 0.05 mm.

[0073] Such a setting is to ensure that while the partition board moves relative to the housing 1 to adjust the opening and closing state of the volatilization part 11, the two chambers 13 can remain relatively closed, to a certain extent avoiding the situation where the odor of the air conditioner 3 volatilizes into the chamber 13 where the elastic member 222 is located, so that the odor volatilized by the air conditioner 3 can enter the laundry treatment drum 20 through the volatilization part 11 as much as possible to perform functions such as scenting and deodorizing on the clothes.

[0074] In some embodiments, the temperature-sensitive member 21 is a wax-type temperature-sensitive package. That is, the working medium of the temperature-sensitive package is wax, such as paraffin wax.

[0075] Exemplarily, Figure 6 shows a change curve graph of the length stroke of the wax-type temperature-sensitive package with the change of temperature. Among them, the abscissa is the temperature, and the ordinate is the change of the length stroke of the wax-type temperature-sensitive package. It can be seen that: the two basically show an S-shaped exponential curve. When the temperature gradually rises, the wax-type temperature-sensitive package gradually changes from the solid state region Q1 (A to B) to the phase change region Q2 (B to C) of the solid-liquid two-phase state and then to the liquid state region Q3 (C to D), and the volume of the wax-type temperature-sensitive package gradually expands and has a certain length stroke to drive the partition member 221 to move.

[0076] At the same time, from Figure 6It can be seen that when the wax temperature sensing element is in the phase change region Q2, that is, when the temperature rises from T1 to T2, the growth rate of the length stroke of the wax temperature sensing element is relatively large. Therefore, before the clothing treatment device leaves the factory, the working range of the temperature sensing wax can be ensured to always be in the two-phase region by adjusting the component ratio of the wax temperature sensing element, so as to ensure the sensitivity of the wax temperature sensing element to temperature.

[0077] Of course, the temperature sensing element 21 can also be a water temperature sensing element, or other substance structures that can generate phase changes with temperature.

[0078] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment also provides a clothing treatment device. The clothing treatment device includes a box body, a clothing treatment cylinder 20, and an air conditioning device 10.

[0079] The air conditioning device 10 in this embodiment has the same structure and implementation principle as the air conditioning device 10 of the clothing treatment device provided in the above embodiment, and specific reference can be made to the description of the above embodiment.

[0080] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the clothing treatment cylinder 20 has an air inlet hole 203 communicating with the heat exchange channel 30, and the air conditioning device 10 is specifically arranged at the air inlet hole 203.

[0081] Through the above setting, the odor volatilized by the air conditioner 3 can enter the clothing treatment cylinder 20 together with the air in the heat exchange channel 30 and make relatively full contact with the clothes, etc., improving the treatment effect on the clothes.

[0082] Exemplarily, the air inlet hole 203 can be, for example, axially opposite to the above-mentioned clothing feeding port along the axis of the clothing treatment cylinder 20. The air in the heat exchange channel 30 will enter the clothing treatment cylinder 20 through the air inlet hole 203, dry the clothes, etc., and then flow back to the clothing heat exchange channel 30 through the clothing feeding port and circulate in turn.

[0083] Compared with the scheme of setting the air conditioning device close to one side of the clothing feeding port, the above setting avoids, to a certain extent, the situation where too much odor volatilized by the air conditioner 3 remains in structures such as the evaporator 703 and the condenser 702 of the heat pump heat exchange system 70, ensuring the amount of odor volatilized by the air conditioner 3 into the clothing treatment cylinder 20. For example, when the air conditioner 3 is an aromatherapy, it can make the clothes and other loads have more remaining fragrance, ensuring the effective treatment of the clothes and the like.

[0084] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the housing 1 is disposed on one side of the air inlet hole 203 facing the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 20. With this arrangement, the sufficiency of the contact between the air conditioner 3 and the laundry in the laundry treatment inner drum can be further improved, thereby further enhancing the treatment effect on the laundry and greatly meeting the user's usage requirements.

[0085] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is detachably disposed on the laundry treatment drum 20. With this arrangement, when installing or repairing the laundry treatment device, if one of the housing 1 and the laundry treatment drum 20 is damaged or broken, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, avoiding the scrapping of the whole of the housing 1 and the laundry treatment drum 20 and saving the manufacturing or repair cost. In addition, this arrangement can also facilitate the replacement of the air conditioner. For example, the housing has an air conditioner access opening, and the access opening can be opened and closed.

[0086] Among them, the housing 1 can be detachably connected to the laundry treatment drum 20, for example, by means of snap connection or screw connection.

[0087] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the laundry treatment drum 20 includes a drum body 201 and a rear cover 202 disposed at the rear side of the drum body 201. An air inlet hole 203 communicating with the heat exchange channel 30 is formed in the rear cover 202, and the housing 1 is disposed on one side of the rear cover 202 facing the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 20.

[0088] Through the above arrangement, the smell volatilized from the air conditioner 3 can be further brought into more sufficient contact with the laundry in the laundry treatment drum 20, further enhancing the treatment effect on the laundry and greatly meeting the user's usage requirements.

[0089] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, a filter member 40 is disposed between the laundry treatment drum 20 and the heat exchange channel 30, and the filter member 40 is spaced apart from the housing 1.

[0090] By providing the filter member 40, impurities such as lint generated during laundry treatment processes such as drying can be filtered and collected, to a certain extent avoiding the situation where the lint and other impurities block the heat exchange channel 30 or other structures, resulting in damage to the laundry treatment device. Exemplarily, the filter member 40 can be, for example, a filter net, a gauze, etc.

[0091] By arranging the filter element 40 at a distance from the housing 1, it is possible to avoid, to a certain extent, the situation where impurities such as lint adhere to the volatilization part 11 or the air conditioner 3 such as the fragrance agent during drying, which affects the normal volatilization of the air conditioner 3. Compared with the solution of arranging the housing on the filter element, the above arrangement can, to a certain extent, avoid the situation where users need to manually clean impurities to ensure the normal volatilization of the air conditioner 3, further improving the user experience.

[0092] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 7 as shown, when the housing 1 is arranged on the rear cover 202, the filter element 40 is arranged on the side of the laundry treatment drum 20 away from the rear cover 202.

[0093] In this way, while ensuring sufficient contact between the air conditioner 3 and the air in the laundry treatment drum 20 to improve the treatment effect on loads such as clothes, it is also possible to avoid, to a certain extent, the situation where impurities such as lint adhere to the volatilization part 11 or the air conditioner 3 such as the fragrance agent, which affects the normal volatilization of the air conditioner 3, ensuring the normal use of the air conditioner 3.

[0094] Other technical features are the same as those in the above embodiments and can bring the same or similar technical effects, which will not be elaborated one by one here. For details, reference can be made to the description of the above embodiments.
