Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of clothing treatment equipment. Specifically, it relates to a lint collection structure and a clothing treatment equipment including the above lint collection structure. Background Art

[0002] Dryers are divided into two types according to their exhaust methods: direct-exhaust dryers and condensation dryers. The drying air of a direct-exhaust dryer is directly discharged into the air after passing through the drum. The drying air of a condensation dryer circulates in the entire air duct circulation system. No matter which type of dryer, after the drying air of the dryer passes through the clothes in the drum, some fine lint will always be carried out. To prevent lint from being discharged into the air and polluting the air when the dryer exhausts to the outside, or to prevent lint from circulating with the drying air in the air duct circulation system and causing more fine lint to adhere to the clothes, a lint filtering device needs to be configured on the existing dryers.

[0003] However, for a complex washing and drying integrated washing machine, due to space limitations, a lint filtering device is usually not provided in the drum. The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN110438723A discloses a cylinder assembly and a washing and drying integrated machine. The cylinder assembly includes a main body with a hollow accommodation cavity. The main body is provided with an air inlet and an exhaust pipe, and also includes a filtering member arranged in the exhaust pipe, a air supply module connected to the air inlet, and a lint cleaning device connected to the exhaust pipe. The lint in the exhaust pipe is filtered by the filtering member. Since the filtering member is arranged in the exhaust pipe, it is difficult to directly see the amount of lint, and the cleaning is relatively troublesome, resulting in high production costs and later maintenance costs of the product.

[0023] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "assembly", "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances. In the description of the embodiments, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0024] The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0025] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present application, a lint collection structure is provided, which is applied to a laundry treatment device. The laundry treatment device can be a dryer, a washing and drying integrated machine, etc. As Figure 1 shown, the laundry treatment device includes a body 1 and a door 2. A working chamber 11 and a feeding port 12 communicating with the working chamber 11 are provided on the body 1. The door 2 is used to open or close the feeding port 12, and the laundry to be cleaned can be put into the working chamber 11 of the body through the feeding port 12. A drying air path is also provided in the body 1 for drying the laundry in the working chamber 11.

[0027] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the lint collection structure includes a viewing window 3, a lint collection box 4, and a connecting member 5. The viewing window 3 is configured to be provided on the door body 2 of the laundry treatment device, and the viewing window 3 is made of a transparent material through which the interior of the working chamber 11 can be observed. A receiving groove 31 is provided on one side of the viewing window 3 facing the working chamber 11 of the laundry treatment device, and the lint collection box 4 is detachably mounted in the receiving groove 31 through the connecting member 5.

[0028] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown in the figure, the lint collection box 4 includes a collection box body 41. The collection box body 41 is provided with a collection chamber 410, an air inlet 411 and an air outlet 412 that communicate with the collection chamber 410. A filtering member 413 for filtering lint is provided in the collection chamber 410, and a mating portion 42 is further provided on the outside of the collection box body 41. The collection box body 41 is detachably assembled in the receiving groove 31. The air inlet 411 and the air outlet 412 are used to communicate with the drying air path of the laundry treatment device. The drying air flow enters the collection chamber 410 from the air inlet 411, passes through the filtering member 413, and then flows into the working chamber 11 of the fuselage from the air outlet 412. The filtering member 413 can filter the lint in the drying air flow, and the lint is stored in the collection chamber 410.

[0029] The laundry treatment device has functions of washing and drying, with a complex structure and limited space in the working chamber. The provision of the receiving groove 31 on the viewing window 3 can provide an installation space for the lint collection box 4, so that the lint collection box 4 does not occupy the space inside the working chamber 11. In addition, since the lint collection box 4 is provided on the viewing window 3 of the door body 2, opening the door body 2 can directly show the amount of lint in the lint collection box 4, and the lint collection box 4 can be detached for cleaning and then reinstalled in the receiving groove 31 for continued use.

[0030] Specifically, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown in the figure, the connecting member 5 includes a fixing block 51 and a plugging portion 52 provided on the fixing block 51. The connecting member 5 is fixedly connected to the receiving groove 31 of the viewing window 3 through the fixing block 51, and the plugging portion 52 is used for plugging with the mating portion 42 on the collection box body 41.

[0031] In one example, the plugging portion 52 and the mating portion 42 can be arranged in a keyway structure for plugging and mating, with one of the plugging portion 52 and the mating portion 42 being arranged as a key structure and the other being arranged as a groove structure.

[0032] During the installation process, the collection box body 41 is configured to be detachably inserted into the receiving groove 31 along the installation direction, and the mating portion 42 is configured to be plugged and mated with the plugging portion 52 along the installation direction. That is, the lint collection box 4 is installed in the receiving groove 31 by plugging, and can be pulled out of the receiving groove 31 for cleaning and replacement. The user can disassemble and assemble it by themselves, which is convenient to operate.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, at least one connecting member 5 is provided, and the lint collection box 4 can be detachably mounted in the receiving groove 31 through a plurality of connecting members 5. A plurality of mating portions 42 corresponding to the connecting members 5 can be provided on the collection box body 41.

[0034] In some specific embodiments of the present application, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the viewing window 3 is configured as a structure protruding into the working cavity 11 of the fuselage 1. The receiving groove 31 is constructed at the top of the viewing window 3. The collection box body 41 is loaded into or removed from the open end of the receiving groove 31. The open end of the receiving groove 31 extends from the top of the viewing window 3 to the side of the viewing window 3 facing the working cavity 11. The air inlet 411 of the collection box body 41 is exposed from the top of the open end of the receiving groove 31, and the air outlet 412 is exposed from the side of the open end of the receiving groove 31.

[0035] Referring to Figure 4 in the perspective view, the installation direction of the lint collection box 4 is the direction towards the bottom of the receiving groove 31, that is, the installation direction is downward. The lint collection box 4 is loaded into the receiving groove 31 downward from the top of the open end of the receiving groove 31. The mating portion 42 is inserted into the insertion portion 52 of the connecting member 5 from top to bottom, which can prevent the lint collection box 4 from detaching from the side of the open end of the receiving groove 31. When disassembling, the lint collection box 4 is removed from the top of the open end of the receiving groove 31 along the opposite direction of the installation direction. The disassembly and assembly method of the lint collection box 4 is simple in operation, which is convenient for the user to disassemble and assemble the lint collection box 4 by himself for cleaning.

[0036] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 in the perspective view, the receiving groove 31 has at least a rear wall and a bottom wall. The fixing block 51 of the connecting member 5 is provided on the rear wall of the receiving groove 31. The mating portion 42 and the air outlet 412 are distributed on opposite sides of the collection box body 41. The side of the collection box body 41 provided with the mating portion 42 faces the rear wall of the receiving groove 31 and is inserted and matched with the insertion portion 52 of the connecting member 5. The bottom of the collection box body 41 abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 31.

[0037] The collection box body 41 is configured into a shape adapted to the receiving groove 31. The shape of the open end of the receiving groove 31 is adapted to the contour shape of the viewing window 3. The contour of the top and the side facing the working cavity 11 of the collection box body 41 is adapted to the contour of the viewing window 3. The viewing window 3 can be set into a circular shape, a rectangular shape or any other shape. As Figure 2 shown in an example, the top of the viewing window 3 is an arc-shaped structure, and the top of the collection box body 41 is also set into a matching arc-shaped structure.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figures 4 to 5As shown, the fixing block 51 of the connecting member 5 is detachably provided on the rear wall of the receiving groove 31 through a fastener 60. The fastener 60 is provided on the outer side of the viewing window 3, that is, on the side of the viewing window 3 away from the working chamber 11, and one or more fasteners 60 can be provided. A limiting plate 53 abutting against the rear wall of the receiving groove 31 is provided on the fixing block 51. The fastener 60 can tighten the fixing block 51 from the outer side of the viewing window 3, so that the limiting plate 53 abuts tightly against the rear wall of the receiving groove 31, and thus the connecting member 5 can be stably connected to the viewing window 3.

[0039] Specifically, a through hole penetrating the viewing window 3 is formed on the rear wall of the receiving groove 31. The fastener 60 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the fixing block 51 in the receiving groove 31, or the fixing block 51 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the fastener 60 outside the viewing window 3. The fastener 60 can be a screw, a nut, etc.

[0040] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown in a specific embodiment, a connecting column 510 is provided at one end of the fixing block 51. The connecting column 510 passes through the through hole on the viewing window 3 and is adapted to the shape of the through hole. A connecting hole is provided on the connecting column 510, and the fastener 60 is a bolt fixed in the connecting hole.

[0041] The lint collection box 4 and the connecting member 5 are provided in a detachable structure, which can reduce the molding difficulty of the viewing window 3, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. Moreover, the lint collection box 4 is convenient for disassembly, replacement, and can reduce the later maintenance cost.

[0042] Furthermore, a detachable nut 61 can be installed at the end of the fixing block 51 passing through the through hole of the viewing window 3. The nut 61 abuts against the outer side wall of the viewing window 3, and the nut 61 is provided with a countersunk hole. The bolt passes through the countersunk hole of the nut 61 and is connected to the connecting column 510 to ensure that the connecting member 5 can be reliably fixed on the viewing window 3.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a slot 421 extending along the installation direction is provided on the mating portion 42 of the lint collection box 4. The insertion portion 52 of the connecting member 5 is provided as a plug board inserted into the slot 421. The plug board structure is thinner, which can reduce the occupation of the space of the receiving groove 31. The plug board and the limiting plate 53 are spaced apart on the fixing block 51, and there is a gap between them. The side of the mating portion 42 facing the rear wall of the receiving groove 31 is the outer side wall 422, and the outer side wall 422 is configured to be inserted between the limiting plate 52 and the plug board.

[0044] The insertion plate of the connecting member 5 is inserted into the slot 421 of the mating portion 42 along the installation direction, and the outer side wall 422 of the mating portion 42 is inserted between the limiting plate 52 and the insertion plate along the installation direction. The connecting member 5 and the mating portion 42 thus form an inter-inserted relationship, which can make the wire debris collection box 4 more stably installed and prevent the collection box body 41 from shaking in the receiving groove 31.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in order to make the collection box body 41 more firmly installed in the receiving groove 31, anti-disengagement buckles 43 can be respectively provided on the opposite sides of the mating portion 42, and the anti-disengagement buckles 43 are respectively clamped on the opposite sides of the fixing block 51. The anti-disengagement buckles 43 further strengthen the connection between the wire debris collection box 4 and the connecting member 5. Specifically, the anti-disengagement buckles 43 are configured to engage with the fixing block 51 in the installation direction. For example, the anti-disengagement buckles 43 can be clamped at the bottom of the fixing block 51, which can prevent the collection box body 41 from moving upward, thereby preventing the mating portion 42 from being displaced upward and disengaging from the insertion portion 52.

[0046] Such as Figure 6 shown in a specific embodiment, the insertion plate and the limiting plate 53 of the connecting member 5 extend to the opposite sides of the fixing block 51, and the anti-disengagement buckles 43 on both sides are fitted between the insertion plate and the limiting plate 53 of the connecting member 5, which can further play a limiting role and make the connection between the connecting member 5 and the collection box body 41 more reliable.

[0047] In a specific embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the anti-disengagement buckle 43 includes an elastic arm 431 and a hook 432 provided at the end of the elastic arm 431. Flanges 511 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the fixing block 51. The hook 432 is configured to engage with the flange 511 on the corresponding side of the fixing block 51.

[0048] Specifically, one anti-disengagement buckle 43 is provided on each of the opposite sides of the mating portion 42. The elastic arms 431 of the two anti-disengagement buckles 43 are connected to the mating portion 42 and extend along the installation direction. The hooks 432 at the ends of the elastic arms 431 interfere with the flanges 511 in the installation direction.

[0049] In order to make the installation and disassembly of the collection box body 41 convenient, a first guiding surface and a second guiding surface for guiding cooperation can be provided between the hook 432 and the flange 511. The first guiding surface and the second guiding surface can be provided on the hook 432 or on the flange 511.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the top of the hook 432 and the flange 511 can be guided and fitted through the first guiding surface 4321, and the bottom of the hook 432 and the flange 511 can be guided and fitted through the second guiding surface 4322. The first guiding surface 4321 and the second guiding surface 4322 are respectively inclined relative to the installation direction. The first guiding surface 4321 is inclined towards the installation direction from the side close to the fixed block 51 to the side close to the elastic arm 431, and the second guiding surface 4322 is inclined towards the installation direction from the side close to the elastic arm 431 to the side close to the fixed block 51.

[0051] When the collection box body 41 is inserted into the receiving groove 31 along the installation direction, the bottom of the hook 432 and the flange 511 are fitted through the first guiding surface 4321. The flange 511 presses the hook 432, and the elastic arm 431 deforms under the pressing of the flange 511 so that the hook 432 crosses the flange 511 along the first guiding surface 4321, and then the elastic arm 431 resets and makes the hook 432 snap onto the bottom of the flange 511.

[0052] When the collection box body 41 is removed from the receiving groove 31, the top of the hook 432 and the flange 511 are fitted through the second guiding surface 4322. The flange 511 presses the hook 432, and the elastic arm 431 deforms under the pressing of the flange 511 so that the hook 432 crosses the flange 511 along the second guiding surface 4322, and the anti - detachment buckle 43 thus disengages from the fixed block 51.

[0053] As Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown in a specific embodiment, the first guiding surface 4321 is provided at the bottom of the hook 432, the second guiding surface 4322 is provided at the top of the hook 432, and a tip is formed on the side of the hook 432 facing the fixed block 51.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, baffles 44 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the mating portion 42 of the lint collection box 4. The baffles 44 are arranged outside the anti - detachment buckle 43 so that the anti - detachment buckle 43 will not be accidentally touched and cause disengagement from the fixed block 51. Specifically, a gap is left between the baffle 44 and the corresponding anti - detachment buckle 43 to prevent the baffle 44 from hindering the outward bending deformation of the elastic arm 431. The baffles 44 can be fitted on the opposite sides of the limiting plate 53 and the insertion portion 52, and the baffles 44 and the mating portion 42 thus form a structure surrounding the connecting member 5.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, the lint collection box 4 is configured such that while the collection box body 41 is inserted into the accommodation groove 31 along the installation direction, the mating portion 42 is inserted into the insertion portion 52, and the anti - detachment buckle 43 is snapped onto opposite sides of the fixing block 51. In addition, while the collection box body 41 is pulled out of the accommodation groove 31, the mating portion 42 is disengaged from the insertion portion 52, and the anti - detachment buckle 43 is disengaged from the fixing block 51. Therefore, the installation and disassembly of the lint collection box 4 are very simple and convenient, and after the lint collection box 4 is inserted into the connector 5, the anti - detachment buckle 43 can prevent the lint collection box 4 from falling off.

[0056] In some specific embodiments, the fixing block 51, the insertion portion 52, the limiting plate 53, and the connecting column 510 of the connector 5 can be set as an integrally formed structure; the collection box body 41, the mating portion 42, the anti - detachment buckle 43, the baffle 44, etc. of the lint collection box 4 can be set as an integrally formed structure.

[0057] After the lint collection box 4 is used for a period of time, the lint accumulated in the collection cavity 410 is likely to block the filter element 413, making it difficult for the drying air flow to pass through. As a result, the air volume passing through the collection box body 41 decreases, affecting the effect of removing lint. In response to this, in some embodiments as Figure 2 shown, the lint collection structure further includes a flushing nozzle 7 provided on the laundry treatment device. The flushing nozzle 7 is used to spray water onto the filter element 413 in the lint collection box 4 to wash away the lint on the filter element 413, so as to ensure the filtering effect of the filter element 413. Further, the flushing nozzle 7 can wash the lint to one side of the filter element 413, so that the filter element 413 is not completely blocked by the lint.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, the filter element 413 can be inclined and arranged in the collection cavity 410 of the collection box body 41. The filter element 413 is relatively inclined with respect to the direction of the drying air flow entering the collection cavity 410, and the lint first accumulates on the lower side of the filter element 413. When the flushing nozzle 7 sprays water onto the filter element 413, the washed - away lint flows to the lower side of the filter element 413.

[0059] Further, the flushing nozzle 7 can be configured such that the water spraying direction is relatively inclined with respect to the filter element 413 and faces the lower side of the filter element 413.
