However, the existing dry cleaning equipment has a complex structural design, and the solvent processing components are exposed to the outside, which affects the appearance of the dry cleaning equipment and there is a risk of solvent leakage.

[0051] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 13 A laundry treating apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0052] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the laundry treatment device 1 according to the present invention comprises: a washing module 10, a solvent storage module 20 and a closed shell 30, wherein the washing module 10 is provided with a washing chamber 10a; a storage chamber 20a suitable for storing washing solvent is formed in the solvent storage module 20, and the storage chamber 20a is communicated with the washing chamber 10a; and a closed chamber 30a suitable for accommodating the solvent storage module 20 and / or the washing module 10 is formed in the closed shell 30. Specifically, the washing module 10 is suitable for washing fabrics, and the fabrics can be placed in the washing chamber 10a of the washing module 10, and then the washing solvent in the solvent storage module 20 is allowed to flow into the washing chamber 10a, and the stains on the fabrics are removed by the chemical force of the washing solvent and the mechanical force of the washing module 10, thereby completing the cleaning of the fabrics. The washing solvent circulates in the washing module 10 and the solvent storage module 20. Since the washing solvent may be harmful to the environment or human body, in order to avoid leakage of the washing solvent due to a malfunction of the washing module 10 or a malfunction of the solvent storage module 20, a closed shell 30 is provided to accommodate the solvent storage module 20 and / or the washing module 10, to ensure that the washing solvent does not leak to the outside of the clothing processing device 1, thereby ensuring the safety of the environment and human body.

[0053] According to the clothing treatment device 1 of the present invention, a closed shell 30 is provided to accommodate the solvent storage module 20 and / or the washing module 10, thereby preventing the washing solvent from leaking to the outside of the clothing treatment device 1 and ensuring the safety of the environment and human body. In addition, the closed shell 30 can serve as an appearance component of the clothing treatment device 1, thereby making the clothing treatment device 1 more regular and beautiful as a whole.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the clothing treatment device 1 further includes a collecting module 40, which is disposed in the closed shell 30 and has a first outlet 40a and a first inlet 40b communicating with the washing chamber 10a, and / or a second inlet 40d and a second outlet 40c communicating with the storage chamber 20a; wherein the collecting module 40 is suitable for controlling the connection or closing between the first outlet 40a and the second inlet 40d so as to be suitable for conveying the washing solvent into the washing chamber 10a; and / or the collecting module 40 is suitable for controlling the connection or closing between the first inlet 40b and the second outlet 40c so as to recover the washing solvent passing through the washing chamber 10a. Since the washing solvent may be harmful to the environment or human body, the washing solvent in the washing chamber 10a needs to be recovered after the fabric is cleaned, and the recovered washing solvent can also be stored in the solvent storage module 20, and when the washing module 10 is required to clean the fabric, the recovered washing solvent can continue to be used to realize the recycling of the washing solvent.

[0055] Specifically, if Figure 6As shown, the collecting module 40 is connected to the washing chamber 10a and the storage chamber 20a respectively, and the collecting module 40 can control the first outlet 40a connected to the washing chamber 10a to be connected to the second inlet 40d connected to the storage chamber 20a, so that the washing solvent in the storage chamber 20a flows toward the washing chamber 10a, thereby realizing the delivery of the washing solvent; the collecting module 40 can also control the first inlet 40b connected to the washing chamber 10a to be connected to the second outlet 40c connected to the storage chamber 20a, so that the washing solvent in the washing chamber 10a flows toward the storage chamber 20a, thereby realizing the recovery of the washing solvent, and the washing solvent entering the storage chamber 20a can be delivered to the washing chamber 10a again, thereby realizing the recycling of the washing solvent. The collecting module 40 is provided so that the clothing treatment device 1 can realize the recovery and recycling of the washing solvent, ensuring the safety of the environment and human body, and there is no need to replenish new washing solvent to the clothing treatment device 1, which can reduce the use cost of the clothing treatment device 1.

[0056] In some embodiments, the washing solvent may be a surfactant, bleach, stabilizer or other solvent for washing clothes. One or more of the above washing solvents may be added according to conditions such as temperature and clothing texture, and are not limited here.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the collection module 40 is provided with a heating device and / or a cooling device. The heating device is suitable for heating the washing solvent passing through the collection module 40, and the cooling device is suitable for cooling the washing solvent passing through the collection module, so that the collection module 40 can change the state of the washing solvent. In some embodiments, the washing solvent is in a liquid state in the storage chamber 20a, and the collection module 40 heats the liquid washing solvent in the storage chamber 20a before putting it into the washing chamber 10a, so that the washing solvent changes from liquid to gas, so that the washing solvent can fully contact the fabric and improve the cleaning effect of the washing solvent on the fabric; the washing solvent is in a gaseous state in the washing chamber 10a, and the collection module 40 cools the washing solvent in the washing chamber 10a before recovering the gaseous washing solvent in the washing chamber 10a to the storage chamber 20a, so that the washing solvent changes from gas to liquid.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, the clothing processing device 1 also includes a filter module 50, which is arranged in the closed cavity 30a.

[0059] In some embodiments, the filter module 50 can be used to filter washing solvents in different states. For example, the washing solvent in the storage chamber 20a is in a gaseous state, and the washing solvent in the washing chamber 10a is in a liquid state. Figure 7As shown, the filter module 50 is disposed between the first outlet 40a and the washing chamber 10a to filter the liquid washing solvent so that the washing solvent entering the washing chamber 10a is in gaseous state, thereby preventing the liquid washing solvent from directly contacting the fabric and causing the fabric to be contaminated, and ensuring the fabric cleaning effect; Figure 8 As shown, the filter module 50 may also be disposed between the second outlet 40c and the storage chamber 20a to filter the gaseous washing solvent so that the washing solvent flowing back into the storage chamber 20a is in liquid state for storage of the washing solvent.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 10-13 As shown, the filter module 50 includes a filter housing 51 and a filter element. A plurality of filter cavities are formed in the filter housing 51. The plurality of filter cavities are connected in sequence. An inlet 51a and an outlet 51b are formed on the filter housing 51.

The filter element is constructed to correspond to the plurality of filter cavities one by one. Each filter element is accommodated in the corresponding filter cavity. The plurality of filter elements filter the washing solvent flowing from the inlet 51a to the outlet 51b in sequence. Specifically, the washing solvent entering the filter module 50 from the inlet 51a can flow in the plurality of filter cavities in sequence. At this time, the washing solvent can be filtered in sequence by the plurality of filter elements, so that the state of the washing solvent flowing out of the filter module 50 from the outlet 51b is more uniform.

[0061] In some embodiments, the inlet 51a of the filter module 50 is connected to the collection module 40, and the outlet 51b of the filter module 50 is connected to the washing chamber 10a or the storage chamber 20a, so that the state of the washing solvent entering the washing chamber 10a or the storage chamber 20a is more uniform.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 10-13As shown, a partition is formed in the filter housing 51 to separate two adjacent filter cavities; wherein the partition is arranged around to define two filter cavities isolated from each other in the radial direction; and / or the partition is orthogonal to the extension direction of the filter housing 51, so as to define two filter cavities isolated from each other in the axial direction inside the filter housing 51. Specifically, one partition or multiple partitions can be arranged inside the filter housing 51 to separate multiple filter cavities inside the filter housing 51. When there is one partition, two cavities can be separated inside the filter housing 51. Here, the partition can be an annular partition, the inside of the annular partition defines a cavity, the outside of the annular partition and the inside of the filter housing 51 define another cavity, and the two cavities are isolated from each other in the radial direction of the filter housing 51; the partition can also be a vertical partition, one side of the vertical partition and a part of the inner surface of the filter housing 51 define a cavity, and the other side of the vertical partition and another part of the inner surface of the filter housing 51 define another cavity, and the two cavities are isolated from each other in the axial direction of the filter housing 51.

The end cover 512 is constructed as two and is respectively arranged at the two ends of the outer cylinder 511 to close the outer cylinder 511. The inlet 51a and the outlet 51b are arranged in one of the end covers 512 or are respectively arranged in the two end covers 512; the first partition plate 513 is arranged in the outer cylinder 511 and divides the interior of the outer cylinder 511 into a first chamber and a second chamber 511b isolated from each other in the axial direction; the second partition plate 514 is arranged in the first chamber, and the second partition plate 514 is arranged around to define an inner chamber 511c and an outer chamber 511d isolated from each other on the inner and outer sides of the second partition plate 514, respectively.

[0064] In some embodiments, an inlet 51a and an outlet 51b are respectively provided on the two end covers 512. The inlet 51a is connected to the first cavity, and the outlet 51b is connected to the second cavity 511b. The washing solvent enters the first cavity through the inlet 51a, and is filtered in turn by the filter elements at the inner cavity 511c and the outer cavity 511d, and then flows out of the second cavity 511b through the outlet 51b.

[0065] In other embodiments, an inlet 51a and an outlet 51b are spaced apart on one of the end covers 512, the inlet 51a is connected to the inner cavity 511c, and the outlet 51b is connected to the outer cavity 511d, the washing solvent enters the inner cavity 511c through the inlet 51a, is filtered in turn by a plurality of filter elements, and then flows out of the outer cavity 511d through the outlet 51b.
