Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing treatment, and particularly to a clothing treatment device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of clothing treatment devices, in order to improve the washing, care, and disinfection effects of clothes, existing clothing treatment devices usually adopt atomization or steam technology. These two technologies are respectively realized through atomizing nozzles and steam nozzles, which spray tiny water droplets or steam onto the clothes in the washing tub to achieve the purposes of moistening, removing stains, removing wrinkles, or disinfecting. However, in the prior art, there are many limitations in the design and layout of the atomization device and the steam device, which affect the large-scale production and space utilization efficiency of clothing treatment devices.

[0003] Specifically, a common design is to set the atomizing nozzle at the clothing inlet, and the atomization water collection box is located at the top of the device and is responsible for supplying water to the atomization device. For example, Patent CN219709887U shows this design concept. Another design is to place the steam nozzle inside the drum, and the steam water collection box is arranged on the lower side of the drum. Steam is generated by heating the water in the water storage box and then released into the drum through the nozzle, as shown in Patent CN111607945A.

[0004] Due to the different positions of the atomizing nozzle and the steam nozzle and the different layouts of the water collection boxes in the above two design strategies, different front panel structures and other related components need to be developed for each design during the production and manufacturing process. This not only increases the complexity of design and production but also restricts the modular and standardized production of clothing treatment devices, thereby increasing production costs and reducing production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a clothing treatment device to solve the problem in the prior art that due to the different layouts of the atomizing nozzle and the steam nozzle and the water collection box, different front panel structures and other related components need to be developed for each design during the production and manufacturing process, increasing costs and reducing production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is realized as follows: A clothing treatment device, comprising: A water injection port, which is arranged on the front support; A heating device, the water injection port is connected to the heating device through a water filling pipe, and the heating device is arranged on the circulation air duct cover plate; The front support is provided with a laundry inlet for loading laundry. A spray head is arranged above the laundry inlet. The heating device can deliver water or steam to the spray head through a connecting water pipe. The spray head can atomize water into water vapor and spray it into the washing tub, or spray steam into the washing tub.

[0007] It can be applied to different application scenarios as needed without changing the positions of the spray head and the heating device, nor adjusting the structure of the front panel and the interior of the device, which is convenient for large-scale production, reduces costs, and improves production efficiency. Moreover, by setting the water injection port on the front support, the opening and closing of the upper sealing door can be used to hide or expose the water injection port, enhancing the overall aesthetics. At the same time, the position of the water injection port is lowered, making it convenient for users to add water to the heating device and improving the convenience of user operation.

[0008] Furthermore, the spray head is set as a steam spray head, which is used to spray the steam conveyed by the heating device into the washing tub.

[0009] This can not only effectively remove wrinkles, odors and stains on the laundry, but also prevent water droplets from condensing on the surface of the laundry, enhancing the steam drying effect and usage efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the spray head is set as a second atomizing spray head, which can atomize water into water vapor and spray it into the washing tub.

[0011] The second atomizing spray head atomizes water into water vapor and sprays it into the washing tub, which can quickly spread and evenly cover all parts of the laundry, ensuring the penetration effect of the atomized water vapor and avoiding concentration on only one part, so as to moisten the laundry more comprehensively, helping to enhance the decontamination, wrinkle removal and disinfection effects and better meeting the laundry treatment requirements.

[0012] Furthermore, a water pump is arranged on the connecting water pipe. The water pump is arranged on the front support and is used to convey the water in the heating device to the second atomizing spray head.

[0013] Using the water pump to convey the water in the heating device to the second atomizing spray head can ensure that the water reaches the spray head stably and continuously, and then the second atomizing spray head stably atomizes the water into water vapor and sprays it into the washing tub, ensuring the stability and continuity of the laundry treatment effect.

[0014] Furthermore, the heating device includes a support seat. The support seat is provided with a water storage chamber and a heating chamber. The water storage chamber is connected to the heating chamber through a water delivery pipe. The water storage chamber is used for storing water. A heater is arranged in the heating chamber and is used to heat the water to form steam. The water in the water storage chamber is conveyed to the heating chamber for heating to form steam, and the steam is sprayed into the washing tub through the steam spray head.

[0015] The water storage tank centrally stores water, and the heating tank is specifically responsible for heating. This zoning setting makes the management of water source and heating process by the equipment more efficient. The overall structure is simple, which can quickly generate steam and deliver it to the steam nozzle, reducing the heating time and improving the work efficiency.

[0016] Furthermore, the heater transports the steam into the circulation air duct through the steam discharge pipe passing through the cover plate of the circulation air duct.

[0017] Under this setting, the steam discharge pipe discharges the steam into the circulation air duct, and the high-temperature and dry drying gas in the circulation air duct can further heat the steam, converting the water droplets carried in the steam into steam, significantly reducing the water content of the steam, avoiding the formation of water stains on the clothes, and improving the clothes drying effect.

[0018] Furthermore, the water injection port is arranged on one side of the front support upper filter box.

[0019] When the sealing door on the front support is opened, the water injection port can be exposed. This setting can not only make full use of the space on the front support, but also facilitate the user to inject water into the water injection port.

[0020] Furthermore, a sealing cover is arranged on the water injection port, and the sealing cover is used to seal the water injection port.

[0021] The sealing cover can effectively prevent dust, sundries, etc. from entering the heating device through the water injection port, avoid these foreign objects from blocking the pipeline, ensure the normal operation of the internal components of the equipment, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0022] Furthermore, a third filtering structure is arranged on the water injection port for blocking clothes from entering the water injection port.

[0023] The third filtering structure can effectively filter out sundries in the water, prevent the sundries from entering the heating device, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the clothes treatment equipment described in the present invention has the following advantages: 1) It can be applicable to different application scenarios as needed without changing the positions of the nozzles and heating devices, nor adjusting the front panel and the internal structure of the equipment, which is convenient for large-scale production, reduces costs, and improves production efficiency; 2) Arranging the water injection port on the front support can not only use the opening and closing of the upper sealing door to hide or expose the water injection port, improving the overall aesthetics, but also lowering the position of the water injection port, facilitating the user to add water to the heating device and improving the convenience of user operation.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, this embodiment provides a steam generating device, including: A water injection port 17, the water injection port 17 is arranged on the front support 10, the front support 10 is provided with a laundry loading port 18, the laundry loading port 18 is communicated with the washing tub, and is used for loading laundry, and the water injection port 17 is located on the side wall of the laundry loading port 18; A heating device 100, the water injection port 17 is connected to the heating device 100 through a water filling port water pipe 13, and the heating device 100 can store and heat the water injected through the water injection port 17 to generate steam, and spray the steam into the washing tub.

[0032] In this application, the water injection port 17 is arranged on the side wall of the laundry loading port 18, which can not only use the opening and closing of the upper sealing door to hide or expose the water injection port 17, improving the overall aesthetics, but also reduce the position of the water injection port 17 in the steam generating device, facilitating the user to add water to the heating device 100 and improving the convenience of user operation.

[0033] As a preferred example of this application, a filter box 16 is arranged on the bottom wall of the laundry loading port

[0034] 18, and the water injection port 17 is located on one side of the filter box 16. This setting separately arranges the water injection port 17 of the heating device 100 and the filter box 16 on the front support 10, and uses the position near the filter box 16 on the front support 10 as the design position of the water injection port 17, reasonably utilizing the structural components on the front support 10. When the sealing door on the front support 10 is opened, the water injection port 17 can be exposed. This setting can not only make full use of the space on the front support 10, but also facilitate the user to inject water into the water injection port 17.

[0035] As a preferred example of this application, the heating device 100 is provided with a water storage bin 101, and the setting position of the water injection port 17 is higher than the position of the water storage bin 101.

[0036] The position of the water injection port 17 is set higher than the position of the water storage tank 101, which simplifies the water flow path, avoids redundant pipelines or complex water flow structures, improves the structural compactness of the device, and enables the injected water to flow smoothly into the water storage tank 101 by gravity. When the user adds water, the water level can be observed more intuitively, avoiding the risk of water overflow.

[0037] As a preferred example of the present application, the water injection port 17 is provided with a sealing cover 11, and the sealing cover 11 is used to seal the water injection port 17.

[0038] This setting further ensures the reliability of water injection, can prevent foreign objects from entering the heating device 100 through the water injection port 17, damaging the heating device 100 or affecting the steam quality, and can effectively avoid the water in the heating device 100 from splashing out, reducing the hidden danger of electrical safety.

[0039] As a preferred example of the present application, the water injection port 17 is provided with a third filtering structure for blocking clothes from entering the water injection port 17.

[0040] The third filtering structure can effectively filter out impurities in the water, prevent the impurities from entering the water storage tank 101 or the heating device 100, avoid the heating device from being blocked, corroded or damaged by the impurities, ensure the long-term stable operation of the device, and this setting can also prevent clothes from entering the interior of the heating device 100 during the water injection process, improving the reliability of the heating device 100.

[0041] As a preferred example of the present application, the clothing treatment device includes a heat pump system and a circulation air duct cover 8 arranged in cooperation with the heat pump system. The heat pump system includes a condenser, and the condenser is arranged in the circulation air duct formed by the circulation air duct cover 8. The steam generated by the heating device 100 is directly input into the washing tub or input into the washing tub through the circulation air duct.

[0042] This design can effectively shorten the steam transmission distance, reduce heat energy loss, enable the steam to reach the washing tub quickly and efficiently, improve the heating effect, reduce the heating time, and improve the overall working efficiency.

[0043] A steam discharge pipe 501 is arranged at the steam discharge port of the heating device 100. One end of the steam discharge pipe 501 is connected to the heating device 100, and the other end is connected to the inner side of the circulation air duct cover 8. And the connection point of the steam discharge pipe 501 and the circulation air duct cover 8 is located on the downstream side of the condenser.

[0044] Among them, the downstream side means that the air in the circulation air duct first blows through the condenser and then reaches the connection point between the steam discharge pipe 501 and the circulation air duct cover 8. In the prior art, even if a steam generation structure is provided in the laundry treatment device, the generated steam is usually independently discharged into the laundry drying cavity. In this setting scheme, on the one hand, since the steam carries some unevaporated water droplets when it is generated, directly sending it to the clothing surface will form water stains on the clothing surface, affecting the drying effect of the clothing, and in severe cases, it will cause damage to the clothing; on the other hand, the steam transportation distance is relatively long, resulting in a large drop in the steam temperature, and also causing water droplets to precipitate from the steam, which is likely to form water stains on the clothing, affecting the drying effect of the clothing, and in severe cases, it will cause damage to the clothing. In the present application, the circulation air duct cover 8 is used to form a circulation air duct. Since the heating device 100 is provided on the circulation air duct cover 8, the steam discharge pipe 501 can pass through the circulation air duct cover 8 to transport the steam into the circulation air duct, greatly shortening the transportation distance. On the other hand, when the steam discharge pipe 501 discharges the steam into the circulation air duct cover 8, there is also high-temperature and dry drying gas in the circulation air duct, so that the steam is further heated, and the water droplets contained in it are also converted into steam, significantly reducing the water content of the steam, thus avoiding the formation of water stains on the clothing and significantly improving the drying effect of the clothing.

[0045] As a preferred example of the present application, the front support 10 is provided with a steam nozzle 15. The steam nozzle 15 is located above the water injection port 17. The steam nozzle 15 is connected to the heating device 100 through a connecting water pipe 14 and can spray the steam generated by the heating device 100 onto the washing tub.

[0046] The steam nozzle 15 can atomize the steam into fine water vapor particles, enabling the steam to spread more evenly inside the washing tub. In this way, the steam can cover every corner of the clothing, ensuring that the treatment of the clothing by the steam is more uniform, thereby more effectively removing wrinkles, odors or stains on the clothing. Since the atomized steam particles can quickly contact and evaporate on the clothing surface, it avoids water droplets from condensing on the clothing surface, improving the drying effect of the steam and the steam use efficiency.

[0047] As a preferred example of the present application, the heating device 100 includes a support base 1. The support base 1 is provided with a water storage chamber 101 and a heating chamber 104. A water delivery pipe 103 is arranged between the water storage chamber 101 and the heating chamber 104. The water delivery pipe 103 is used to deliver the water in the water storage chamber 101 to the heating chamber 104. A heater 5 is arranged in the heating chamber 104. The heater 5 is used to heat the water to form steam. The water storage chamber 101 is used for storing water. The water in the water storage chamber 101 is delivered to the heating chamber 104 for heating to form steam. The steam is delivered into the laundry treatment device and is used to eliminate the wrinkles on the clothes when drying the clothes. The support base cover plate 9 is covered in the support base 1, so that the water storage chamber 101 and the heating chamber 104 respectively form independent sealed spaces.

[0048] Through the arrangement of the heating device 100, steam is delivered to the laundry treatment device. Since the steam contains a certain amount of moisture, it can play a certain ironing effect, thereby eliminating the wrinkles on the clothes, so that the dried clothes can be worn directly, improving the user experience.

[0049] The water storage chamber 101 is used for centrally storing water sources, and the heating chamber 104 is used for heating these waters. Through this partition setting, the water sources and the heating process can be effectively and centrally managed, making the overall structure of the heating device 100 more concise and efficient.

[0050] Preferably, a water pump 2 is further arranged in the heating chamber 104. The water inlet of the water pump 2 is connected to the water delivery pipe 103, and the water outlet of the water pump 2 is connected to the heater 5. Specifically, the specific structure of the heater 5 can refer to the structure of heating water to generate steam in the prior art and will not be elaborated here. The water pump 2 is used to drive water to flow from the water storage chamber 101 into the heating chamber 104, thereby improving the steam generation efficiency.

[0051] As one optional embodiment, a second filtering structure 4 is arranged at the water inlet of the water storage chamber 101. The second filtering structure 4 is used to filter the water entering the water storage chamber 101. Preferably, the second filtering structure 4 is also arranged at the connection between the water delivery pipe 103 and the water storage chamber 101. Thus, the second filtering structure 4 can filter the water entering and flowing out of the water storage chamber 101 to ensure the normal operation of the heater 5. Optionally, the second filtering structure 4 is a filtering sponge.

[0052] As an embodiment of the present invention, a water level sensor 3 is further arranged in the water storage chamber 101. The water level sensor 3 is used to detect the water level in the water storage chamber 101. Optionally, the water level sensor 3 is linked and controlled with an alarm device to remind the user when the water volume is insufficient or full.

[0053] As one of the preferred embodiments, an overflow pipe 102 is further provided on the water storage bin 101, and the overflow pipe 102 is used to discharge the excess water in the water storage bin 101. When the user fills water, it is possible that too much water is filled. At this time, the overflow pipe 102 can discharge the excess water to ensure the normal operation of the steam ironing system.

[0054] As one of the alternative embodiments, the support base cover plate 9 is fixedly connected to the support base 1 through a screw connection structure and a snap structure. After the snap structure is engaged, the screw connection structure can be automatically aligned, thereby improving the assembly speed and enhancing the production efficiency.

[0055] As one of the preferred embodiments, a wiring seat 901 is provided on the upper side of the support base cover plate 9 close to the heating bin 104, and the wiring seat 901 is used for the external wiring of the heater 5 and the water pump 2. The provision of the wiring seat 901 is conducive to the quick plug-in of the external wiring, thereby improving the assembly speed.

[0056] As an embodiment of the present invention, the clothing treatment device further includes a pull-out condensate water box bracket 7. An inlet water groove 701 is provided on the condensate water box bracket 7. The bottom of the inlet water groove 701 is connected to one end of a water inlet pipe 6, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 6 is connected to the water storage bin 101. In the prior art, the steam generation structure of some clothing treatment devices uses the condensate water in its condensate water box as the water source. Since a large amount of lint is generated during clothing drying, the condensate water also contains a large amount of lint. These lint entering the steam generation structure will seriously affect its normal operation, resulting in a high failure rate of the steam generation structure. The condensate water box bracket 7 is used to detachably arrange the condensate water box. When it is necessary to add water to the water storage bin 101, the condensate water box bracket 7 is pulled out, the condensate water box is removed, and then pure water is injected into the inlet water groove 701. The connection position between the water inlet pipe 6 and the inlet water groove 701 has a large elevation difference, so that the water level of the water pump 2 is relatively low. The water pump 2 with a lower water level makes the water storage bin 101 have no more residual water after each water injection, reducing the problem of the long-term accumulation of residual water causing odor and the odor entering the barrel and affecting the clothing. It should be noted that when the condensate water box is arranged on the condensate water box bracket 7, the condensate water box shields the inlet water groove 701. This setting makes the structure more compact on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can prevent sundries from entering the inlet water groove 701 to ensure the normal operation of the heating device 100.

[0057] As one of the preferred embodiments, a first filtering structure 702 is provided at the connection position between the inlet water groove 701 and the water inlet pipe 6. The first filtering structure 702 is used to filter the water entering the water storage bin 101 to prevent sundries from entering the water storage bin 101. Optionally, the first filtering structure 702 is a filter screen, a sponge or other structures that can filter impurities in water.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] As Figures 6 - 13 shown, the present invention discloses a laundry treatment device with an atomizing device, including a box body assembly, a barrel body assembly and a front sealing door 24. The box body assembly includes a front support 10. The front support 10 forms a laundry feeding port 18 at the opening position of the barrel body assembly. The door glass assembly 25 of the front sealing door 24 can hermetically seal the laundry feeding port 18. A water storage box 20 is arranged on the door glass assembly 25. The water storage box 20 can be taken out relative to the door glass assembly 25. When the water storage box 20 is in the state of being installed on the door glass assembly 25, it is communicated with a first atomizing nozzle 26 through a one-way valve 21. The first atomizing nozzle 26 can spray atomized water vapor into the washing barrel 27 of the barrel body assembly.

[0060] In this application, the atomizing device is arranged on the door glass assembly 25. When the door glass assembly 25 is opened, the user can conveniently add water into the water storage box 20. At the same time, this arrangement installs the atomizing device on the door glass assembly 25, saving the space inside the device, simplifying the structure of the device, facilitating the maintenance or repair of the atomizing device, and ensuring the reliability of the atomizing device to spray atomized water vapor into the washing barrel 27 of the barrel body assembly.

[0061] As a preferred example of this application, a first receiving groove 2501 is arranged on the door glass assembly 25. The water storage box 20 can be guided and inserted into the first receiving groove 25 from top to bottom.

[0062] The first receiving groove 2501 provides a stable guiding position, ensuring that the water storage box 20 can be accurately and firmly assembled in place, avoiding the displacement or loosening of the water storage box 20 during use due to instability, and ensuring the stability of the long-term operation of the device.

[0063] As a preferred example of this application, the first receiving groove 2501 is communicated with the water storage box 20 through a one-way valve 21 composed of a plug pin and a socket for one-way conduction.

[0064] The one-way conduction design composed of the plug pin and the socket ensures that the water flow can only flow in one direction, effectively avoiding the water leakage problem that may occur when the water storage box 20 is connected to the first atomizing nozzle 26, increasing the sealing performance of the device and the accuracy of water flow control. On the other hand, by directly combining the water storage box 20 with the one-way valve 21 and the first receiving groove 2501, the structure of the atomizing device is simplified, the occupied space of the device is saved, and the device is made more compact.

[0065] As a preferred example of the present application, the pin is disposed in the first receiving groove 2501, the socket is disposed at the bottom of the water storage box 20, and after the water storage box 20 is assembled to the first receiving groove 2501, the pin can be inserted into the socket to unidirectionally conduct the water in the water storage box 20 to the first atomizing nozzle 26.

[0066] The design of inserting the pin into the socket provides a stable support for the connection between the water storage box 20 and the first receiving groove 2501, making the connection between the water storage box 20 and the first receiving groove 2501 tighter, not easily loosening or falling off, and avoiding the problem of unreliable connection that may occur during use; moreover, this design ensures that the water flow will only flow in a single direction, which helps to prevent the water flow from flowing backward or leaking to places outside the water storage box 20, not only improving the safety of the device, but also avoiding water overflow or device damage caused by backflow.

[0067] As a preferred example of the present application, a handle 2001 is provided at the upper end of the water storage box 20.

[0068] The design of the handle 2001 makes it more convenient for users to load and unload the water storage box 20. Users can easily lift the water storage box 20 without directly contacting the main body of the water storage box 20, avoiding operation difficulties caused by the heavy or slippery water storage box 20. Especially for operations that require regular water addition or cleaning, the handle can greatly simplify these steps.

[0069] As a preferred example of the present application, a water inlet port 2002 is provided at the upper end of the water storage box 20, and a connection cover 2003 is provided at the position of the water inlet port 2002, and the connection cover 2003 can cover the water inlet port 2002.

[0070] The connection cover 2003 can close the water inlet port 2002 to prevent dust, sundries, etc. from entering the water storage box 20, which helps to keep the water source in the water storage box 20 clean and avoid water quality being polluted by the outside world. At the same time, the sealing function of the connection cover 2003 can effectively prevent the water in the water storage box 20 from overflowing or leaking.

[0079] Example 3

[0080] like Figures 1 - 15 As shown, the present application discloses a clothes processing device, comprising: A water injection port 17, which is provided on the front support 10; The heating device 100, the water inlet 17 is connected to the heating device 100 through the water inlet pipe 13, and the heating device 100 is arranged on the circulation duct cover 8; The front support 10 is provided with a clothing inlet 18 for putting clothes. A spray head is arranged above the clothing inlet 18. The heating device 100 can convey water or steam to the spray head through the connecting water pipe 14. The spray head can atomize water into atomized water vapor and spray it into the washing tub 27, or spray steam into the washing tub 27.

[0081] In this application, the spray head is arranged above the clothing inlet 18. The heating device 100 can convey water to the spray head, or heat the water to form steam and then convey it to the spray head. When the heating device 100 conveys water to the spray head, the spray head atomizes the water and sprays it into the washing tub 27. When the heating device 100 conveys steam to the spray head, the spray head directly sprays the high-temperature steam into the washing tub 27. This design can be applicable to different application scenarios as needed without changing the positions of the spray head and the heating device 100, nor adjusting the structure of the front panel 23 and the interior of the device, which is convenient for large-scale production, reduces costs, and improves production efficiency. Moreover, the water injection port 17 is arranged on the front support 10, which can not only hide or expose the water injection port 17 by opening and closing the upper sealing door, improving the overall aesthetics, but also lower the position of the water injection port 17, facilitating the user to add water to the heating device 100 and improving the convenience of user operation.

[0082] As a preferred example of this application, the spray head is set as a steam spray head 15, and the steam spray head 15 is used to spray the steam conveyed by the heating device 100 into the washing tub 27.

[0083] The steam spray head 15 can atomize the steam into fine water vapor particles, making the steam evenly spread into the washing tub 27 and covering all corners of the clothes. This can not only effectively remove wrinkles, odors and stains on the clothes, but also avoid water droplets condensing on the surface of the clothes, improving the steam drying effect and usage efficiency. The ironing effect of the steam can eliminate the wrinkles of the clothes, enabling the dried clothes to be worn directly, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0084] As a preferred example of this application, the spray head is set as a second atomizing spray head 22, and the second atomizing spray head 22 can atomize water into atomized water vapor and spray it into the washing tub 27.

[0085] The second atomizing nozzle 22 forms atomized water vapor and sprays it into the washing tub 27, which can quickly spread and evenly cover all parts of the clothes, ensuring the penetration effect of the atomized water vapor, avoiding concentration on only one part, wetting the clothes more comprehensively, helping to improve the decontamination, wrinkle removal and disinfection effects, and better meeting the clothing treatment requirements; in this application, according to the needs of different models, the nozzle can be selected to be a steam nozzle or an atomizing nozzle without changing the position of the nozzle. At the same time, according to the type of the nozzle, the heating device 100 can be determined to deliver high-temperature steam to the steam nozzle or water to the atomizing nozzle without adjusting the position of the heating device 100, which is convenient for production and processing.

[0086] As a preferred example of this application, a water pump is provided on the connecting water pipe 14, and the water pump is arranged on the front support 10. The water pump is used to transport the water in the heating device 100 to the second atomizing nozzle 22.

[0087] Using the water pump to transport the water in the heating device 100 to the second atomizing nozzle 22 can ensure that the water reaches the nozzle stably and continuously, and then the second atomizing nozzle 22 stably forms atomized water vapor and sprays it into the washing tub 27, ensuring the stability and continuity of the clothing treatment effect. At the same time, arranging the water pump on the front support 10 and cooperating with components such as the nozzle and the heating device 100 can make the internal structure of the whole device more compact and reasonable, make full use of the internal space of the device, and help to improve the overall integration and aesthetics of the device.

[0088] As a preferred example of this application, the heating device 100 includes a support base 1. The support base 1 is provided with a water storage tank 101 and a heating chamber 104. A water delivery pipe 103 is arranged between the water storage tank 101 and the heating chamber 104. The water delivery pipe 103 is used to transport the water in the water storage tank 101 to the heating chamber 104; a heater 5 is arranged in the heating chamber 104. The heater 5 is used to heat the water to form steam. The water storage tank 101 is used for storing water. The water in the water storage tank 101 is transported to the heating chamber 104 for heating to form steam, and the steam is sprayed into the washing tub 27 through the steam nozzle 15.

[0089] It should be emphasized that when the nozzle is set as an atomizing nozzle, the heating device 100 is only designed as a water storage box for storing water and supplying water to the atomizing nozzle. When the nozzle is set as a steam nozzle, a water storage tank 101 and a heating chamber 104 are arranged in the heating device 100, and the heating device 100 is used to deliver high-temperature steam to the steam nozzle.

[0090] The water storage tank 101 centrally stores the water source, and the heating chamber 104 is specifically responsible for heating. This partitioned setting makes the management of the water source and the heating process of the device more efficient. The overall structure is simple, and steam can be quickly generated and delivered to the steam nozzle, reducing the heating time and improving the working efficiency.

[0091] As a preferred example of the present application, the heater 5 transports steam into the circulation air duct through the steam discharge pipe 501 passing through the circulation air duct cover plate 8.

[0092] Under this setting, the steam discharge pipe 501 discharges steam into the circulation air duct. The high-temperature and dry drying gas in the circulation air duct can further heat the steam, converting the water droplets carried in the steam into steam, significantly reducing the water content of the steam, avoiding the formation of water stains on the clothes, and improving the clothes drying effect. Secondly, the steam discharge pipe 501 passes through the circulation air duct cover plate 8 to transport steam into the circulation air duct, shortening the steam transmission distance, reducing the loss of heat energy during transmission. At the same time, using the gas in the circulation air duct to reheat the steam realizes the secondary utilization of energy, improves the energy utilization efficiency, reduces the equipment energy consumption. On the other hand, introducing steam into the circulation air duct reduces the independent steam discharge structure, makes the internal structure of the equipment more compact, reduces the complexity of equipment design and manufacturing, saves the internal space of the equipment, and helps to improve the overall integration of the equipment.

[0093] As a preferred example of the present application, the water injection port 17 is provided on one side of the filter box 16 on the front support 10.

[0094] This setting separately arranges the water injection port 17 and the filter box 16 on the front support 10, and uses the vicinity of the filter box 16 on the front support 10 as the design position of the water injection port 17, reasonably utilizing the structural workpiece on the front support 10. When the sealing door on the front support 10 is opened, the water injection port 17 can be exposed. This setting can not only make full use of the space on the front support 10, but also facilitate the user to inject water into the water injection port 17.

[0095] As a preferred example of the present application, a sealing cover 11 is provided on the water injection port 17, and the sealing cover 11 is used to seal the water injection port 17.

[0096] The sealing cover 11 can effectively prevent dust, sundries, etc. from entering the heating device 100 through the water injection port 17, avoid these foreign objects from blocking the pipeline, ensure the normal operation of the internal components of the equipment, extend the service life of the equipment. At the same time, it can effectively prevent the water in the heating device 100 from splashing out, reducing the electrical safety hazard caused by water splashing.

[0097] As a preferred example of the present application, the water injection port 17 is provided with a third filtering structure for blocking clothes from entering the water injection port 17.

[0098] The third filtering structure can effectively filter out the sundries in the water, prevent the sundries from entering the heating device 100, ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment, and this setting can also prevent clothes from entering the interior of the heating device 100 during the water injection process, improving the reliability of the heating device 100 in use.
