Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing processing, and in particular provides a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, as people's living standards continue to improve, they are constantly pursuing a higher quality of life. Clothes care machines that use high-temperature steam to remove wrinkles from clothes and clothes dryers that dry clothes after washing are popular among people.

[0003] Traditional clothing care machines and dryers typically feature a clothes hanger within a cabinet, where clothes are placed on the hanger. High-temperature steam and dry air are blown onto the clothes to remove wrinkles and dry them. However, because there is only one clothes hanger within the cabinet, the number of clothes processed at a time is small, resulting in low efficiency.

[0004] To improve clothing processing efficiency, the improved clothing care machine and clothes dryer are equipped with a motor-driven support shaft within the cabinet. Multiple radially extending support rods are evenly distributed around the support shaft, and each support rod has multiple hanging holes distributed along its axial direction to facilitate hanging more clothing. When using high-temperature steam or dry hot air to process clothing, the motor drives the support shaft to rotate, thereby driving the clothing on the multiple support rods to rotate, causing the rotating clothing to sequentially pass through the high-temperature steam outlet or dry hot air outlet, where the high-temperature steam or dry hot air is directly blown onto the passing clothing. This arrangement increases the number of clothing items processed each time and improves clothing processing efficiency to a certain extent. However, because the clothing in the inner circle is blocked by the clothing in the outer circle, the high-temperature steam or dry hot air is mostly blown onto the clothing in the outer circle, while only a small portion is blown onto the clothing in the inner circle. This results in uneven overall clothing processing, prolonged clothing processing time, high energy consumption, and limited improvement in clothing processing efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, this field needs a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to solve the above technical problem, namely, to solve the problem that the improvement degree of the clothing treatment efficiency of the existing improved clothing care machines and clothes dryers is limited.

[0010] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, when the hot air component is provided in the cabinet, a gravity sensor is respectively configured at each first hook structure and each second hook structure, and the gravity sensor is used to detect the weight of the clothes hung at the corresponding hook structure.

[0011] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, when the hot air component is arranged in the cabinet, the bottom of the clothing care cavity is arranged to be inclined downward from the first side to the second side, and a discharge outlet is provided at the bottom of the clothing care cavity near the second side, a filter net is provided at the discharge outlet, and a water receiving trough is provided below the discharge outlet.

[0012] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the air outlet of the hot air component is connected to the clothing processing chamber, and the air outlet of the hot air component is configured to blow air toward the bottom of the clothing processing chamber in a direction from the first side to the second side of the bottom of the clothing processing chamber.

[0013] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, an air outlet grille is provided at the bottom of the clothing processing chamber near the first side, and the air outlet grille constitutes the air outlet of the hot air component. A partition is provided on the air outlet grille, and the partition is used to divide the air flow flowing out of the air outlet of the hot air component into two parts, so that part of the blown dry hot air is blown toward the area where clothes are hooked in the clothing processing chamber, and the other part is blown toward the bottom of the clothing processing chamber along the direction from the first side to the second side of the bottom of the clothing processing chamber.

[0014] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the air outlet of the hot air component is provided with a wind direction switching device, and the wind direction switching device is used to switch the air outlet direction of the air outlet between a first air outlet direction and a second air outlet direction; the first air outlet direction is the direction of blowing toward the area where clothes are hooked in the clothing processing chamber; the second air outlet direction is the direction of blowing toward the bottom of the clothing processing chamber from the first side to the second side along the bottom of the clothing processing chamber.

[0015] In a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the air inlet of the hot air component is connected to the clothing care cavity through the exhaust port, and an anemometer is provided below the filter.

[0016] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing device, the clothing processing device is configured with: a clothing identification device, which is used to identify the identity information of the clothing placed in the clothing processing chamber; and a networking device, which is used to connect to a cloud server so as to obtain the dry weight of the corresponding clothing from the cloud server based on the identified clothing identity information.

[0017] When adopting the above technical solution, the clothing processing device includes a cabinet body, in which a clothing processing chamber and a steam generating component for supplying high-temperature water vapor and / or a hot air component for supplying dry hot air into the clothing processing chamber are provided. The upper part of the clothing processing chamber is provided with a first annular clothes hanger and a second annular clothes hanger with different diameters that rotate around the same vertical axis. The first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger are respectively provided with a plurality of first hook structures and a plurality of second hook structures evenly distributed along the circumference. The clothing processing device also includes a driving component, which is used to drive the first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger to rotate in opposite directions to each other, so that the clothes hooked on the second annular clothes hanger and the clothes hooked on the first annular clothes hanger rotate in opposite directions to each other in the outer circle area and the inner circle area respectively.

[0018] When using the above-mentioned clothing processing device to process clothes, all clothes to be processed are evenly hung on the first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger, the driving component drives the first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger to rotate in opposite directions, the clothes hooked on the second annular clothes hanger and the clothes hooked on the first annular clothes hanger rotate in opposite directions in the outer circle area and the inner circle area respectively, and the steam generating component supplies high-temperature water vapor into the clothes processing chamber or the hot air component supplies dry hot air into the clothes processing chamber. Because the clothes hung on the second annular hanger and the clothes hung on the first annular hanger rotate in opposite directions in the outer and inner ring regions, respectively, the air in the clothes processing chamber rotates and disturbs each other. The high-temperature water vapor or dry hot air entering the clothes processing chamber can flow along with the air in the clothes processing chamber, and the high-temperature water vapor or dry hot air can more comprehensively and evenly contact the clothes, and even penetrate the clothes. This allows clothes hung at different positions on the first and second annular hangers to be quickly processed, and the difference in the time it takes to process clothes at different positions is reduced, which greatly shortens the processing time of clothes, improves the clothing processing efficiency, and reduces energy consumption. In other words, through this arrangement, the ability to process a large number of clothes is guaranteed, the processing time of clothes is greatly shortened, the clothing processing efficiency is improved, and energy consumption is reduced.

[0019] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a motor fixed to the top of the cabinet and a transmission mechanism connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the transmission mechanism is simultaneously connected to the first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger so that the first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger can be driven by the motor to rotate in relative directions at the same time.

[0020] With such an arrangement, there is no need to use two motors to drive the first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger to rotate in opposite directions respectively. Only one motor is needed to drive the first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger to rotate in opposite directions through a transmission mechanism, thereby reducing the number of motors to be set and lowering the manufacturing cost of the clothing processing device.

[0021] Preferably, when a hot air assembly is provided in the cabinet, a gravity sensor is respectively configured at each first hook structure and each second hook structure, and the gravity sensor is used to detect the weight of the clothes hung at the corresponding hook structure.

[0022] With this setup, during the drying process, the gravity sensor at each hanging structure can detect the weight of the clothes hung there in real time, thereby determining whether the clothes have reached a dry state. When a piece of clothing has reached a dry state, the user can be reminded to remove the dried clothes promptly, reducing the amount of clothes in the clothing processing chamber and more effectively drying the remaining clothes that have not yet reached a dry state, further improving the efficiency of the clothes drying operation and reducing energy consumption.

[0023] Preferably, when a hot air component is provided in the cabinet, the bottom of the clothing care cavity is inclined downward from the first side to the second side, a discharge outlet is provided at the bottom of the clothing care cavity near the second side, a filter net is provided at the discharge outlet, and a water receiving trough is provided below the discharge outlet.

[0024] Through such an arrangement, during the process of drying clothes, the water vapor evaporated from the clothes condenses on the inner wall of the clothing processing chamber to form condensed water, which flows to the bottom of the clothing processing chamber and can quickly flow to the drain outlet, thereby avoiding the accumulation of condensed water at the bottom of the clothing processing chamber.

[0025] Preferably, the air outlet of the hot air assembly is communicated with the clothes processing chamber, and the air outlet of the hot air assembly is configured to blow air toward the bottom of the clothes processing chamber from the first side to the second side of the bottom of the clothes processing chamber.

[0026] With this arrangement, the hot and dry air blown out of the hot air outlet of the hot air assembly can be blown toward the bottom of the laundry processing chamber in a direction from the first side to the second side of the bottom of the laundry processing chamber, blowing the lint that has fallen on the bottom of the laundry processing chamber toward the filter at the outlet, thereby automatically cleaning the lint at the bottom of the laundry processing chamber. In addition, after the clothes have been dried, the bottom of the laundry processing chamber can be quickly dried, thereby preventing the bottom of the laundry processing chamber from remaining wet for a long time after the laundry processing device has completed the drying process on the clothes, thereby preventing bacteria from growing and generating odors.

[0027] Preferably, an air outlet grille is provided at the bottom of the clothing processing chamber near the first side, and the air outlet grille constitutes the air outlet of the hot air component. A partition is provided on the air outlet grille, and the partition is used to divide the air flow flowing out of the air outlet of the hot air component into two parts, so that part of the blown dry hot air is blown to the area where clothes are hooked in the clothing processing chamber, and the other part is blown to the bottom of the clothing processing chamber along the direction from the first side to the second side of the bottom of the clothing processing chamber.

[0028] With this arrangement, during the clothes drying process, a portion of the dry hot air dries the clothes, while another portion of the dry hot air is blown toward the bottom of the clothes processing chamber along the direction from the first side to the second side of the bottom of the clothes processing chamber. This can accelerate the condensed water flowing to the bottom of the clothes processing chamber to quickly flow toward the discharge outlet, and blow the lint that falls on the bottom of the clothes processing chamber toward the filter at the discharge outlet, thereby automatically cleaning the lint at the bottom of the clothes processing chamber. In addition, after the clothes are dried, the bottom of the clothes processing chamber can be quickly dried, thereby preventing the bottom of the clothes processing chamber from remaining wet for a long time after the clothes processing device completes the drying process, thereby preventing bacteria from breeding and generating odor.

[0029] Preferably, the air outlet of the hot air component is provided with a wind direction switching device, which is used to switch the air outlet direction of the air outlet between a first air outlet direction and a second air outlet direction; the first air outlet direction is the direction of blowing toward the area where clothes are hooked in the clothing processing chamber; the second air outlet direction is the direction of blowing toward the bottom of the clothing processing chamber from the first side to the second side of the bottom of the clothing processing chamber.

[0030] With this arrangement, during the clothes drying process, the dry hot air blown out by the hot air assembly is all blown toward the area where the clothes are hung in the clothes processing chamber, so as to dry the clothes; after the clothes are dried, the dry hot air blown out by the hot air assembly is all blown toward the bottom of the clothes processing chamber along the direction from the first side to the second side of the bottom of the clothes processing chamber, so as to quickly dry the bottom of the clothes processing chamber. In this way, the clothes drying efficiency is high and the energy consumption is relatively low.

[0031] Preferably, the air inlet of the hot air component is connected to the clothing care cavity through the outlet, and an anemometer is provided below the filter.

[0032] Through such a setting, compared with the solution in which the air inlet of the hot air component is connected to the external environment of the clothing processing equipment, this can not only reduce the energy consumption required to form dry hot air, but also determine whether the filter is blocked through the detection value of the anemometer, so as to notify the user to clean the filter in time when the filter is blocked.

[0033] Preferably, the laundry processing device is equipped with: a laundry identification device for identifying the identity of laundry placed in the laundry processing chamber; and a networking device for connecting to a cloud server to obtain the dry weight of the corresponding laundry from the cloud server based on the identified laundry identity information. It should be noted that the "dry weight of laundry" refers to the weight of the laundry in its dry state.

[0034] Through such a setting, the clothing processing device can obtain the dry weight of the clothes placed in the clothing processing chamber. During the drying process of the clothes, the gravity sensor is used to detect the weight of the clothes in real time and compare it with the dry weight of the clothes to determine whether the clothes have reached a dry state.

[0046] First, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] It should be noted that in the description of the invention, terms such as "left," "right," "front," and "rear" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are intended solely for ease of description and are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components described must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0048] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, and can be a direct connection or an indirect connection. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0049] Based on the problem mentioned in the background technology that the clothing processing efficiency of the existing improved clothing care machines and dryers is limited, the present invention provides a clothing processing device, which includes a cabinet body, a clothing processing chamber and a steam generating component for supplying high-temperature water vapor and / or a hot air component for supplying dry hot air into the clothing processing chamber. The upper part of the clothing processing chamber is provided with a first annular clothes hanger and a second annular clothes hanger with different diameters that rotate around the same vertical axis. The first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger are respectively uniformly distributed with multiple first hook structures and multiple second hook structures along the circumferential direction. The clothing processing device also includes a driving component, which is used to drive the first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger to rotate in opposite directions to each other, so that the clothes hooked on the second annular clothes hanger and the clothes hooked on the first annular clothes hanger rotate in opposite directions to each other in the outer circle area and the inner circle area respectively.

[0050] When using the clothing processing device to process clothes, all clothes to be processed are evenly hung on the first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger, the driving component drives the first annular clothes hanger and the second annular clothes hanger to rotate in opposite directions, the clothes hooked on the second annular clothes hanger and the clothes hooked on the first annular clothes hanger rotate in opposite directions in the outer circle area and the inner circle area respectively, and the steam generating component supplies high-temperature water vapor into the clothes processing chamber or the hot air component supplies dry hot air into the clothes processing chamber. Because the clothes hung on the second annular hanger and the clothes hung on the first annular hanger rotate in opposite directions in the outer and inner ring regions, respectively, the air in the clothes processing chamber rotates and disturbs each other. The high-temperature water vapor or hot dry air entering the clothes processing chamber can flow along with the air in the clothes processing chamber, and the high-temperature water vapor or hot dry air can more comprehensively and evenly contact the clothes, even penetrating the clothes. This allows clothes hung at different positions on the first and second annular hangers to be quickly processed, and the difference in the time it takes to process clothes at different positions is reduced, significantly shortening the processing time, improving the clothing processing efficiency, and reducing energy consumption. In other words, the system ensures the ability to process a large number of clothes, significantly shortens the processing time, improves the clothing processing efficiency, and reduces energy consumption.

[0051] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 8 And here we introduce the present invention. Figure 1 is an overall schematic diagram of a clothes processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a clothes processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 ; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a clothes processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 ; Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Enlarged view of the part A in the middle; Figure 5is a top view of a clothes processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 6 It is along Figure 5 Cross-sectional view of the middle BB surface; Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A magnified view of the middle part C; Figure 8 yes Figure 7 Enlarged view of part D in the middle.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 8 Shown and referenced Figure 1 In the illustrated orientation, the clothing processing device includes a cabinet 1, which is composed of a top panel 11, a bottom panel 12, a left side panel 13, a right side panel 14, a front side panel 15, and a rear side panel 16. A first partition 21 and a second partition 22 are disposed vertically within the cabinet 1. These partitions separate the cabinet 1 into a first installation chamber 23, a clothing processing chamber 24, and a second installation chamber 25, which are disposed vertically. A clothing access opening 151 is formed on the front side panel 15 at a position corresponding to the clothing processing chamber 24. A door 152 is pivotally connected to the front side panel 15 to open and close the clothing access opening 151.

[0053] like Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the upper portion of the clothing processing chamber 24 is provided with a first annular hanger 31 and a second annular hanger 32 that rotate about the same vertical axis. The first annular hanger 31 has a smaller diameter than the second annular hanger 32 and is located below the second annular hanger 32. Eight first gravity sensors 311 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the first annular hanger 31, each of which is provided with a first hanging hole 312 serving as a first hooking structure. Eight second gravity sensors 321 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the second annular hanger 32, each of which is provided with a second hanging hole 322 serving as a second hooking structure. Both the first hanging holes 312 and the second hanging holes 322 are used for hanging clothing.

[0054] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a drive assembly for driving the first and second annular hangers 31, 32 in opposite directions is disposed within the first mounting cavity 23. The drive assembly includes a motor 33 fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 11 and a transmission mechanism 34 connecting the motor 33 to the first and second annular hangers 31, 32. The transmission mechanism 34 includes a first turntable 341 and a second turntable 342 that rotate about a common vertical axis. The first turntable 341 and the second turntable 342 are arranged above and below each other. The first turntable 341 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 33. A first tooth structure 3411 is disposed in a first annular region near the edge of the lower surface of the first turntable 341. The upper end of a rotating shaft 3412 is fixedly connected to the center of the lower surface of the first turntable 341. The rotating shaft 3412 passes through the middle of the second turntable 342. The first annular hanger 31 is centrally connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 3412 via a cross-shaped bracket. A second tooth structure 3421 is distributed on the upper surface of the second rotating disk 342, in a second annular region directly opposite the first annular region. The upper end of a sleeve 3422 is fixedly connected to the center of the lower surface of the second rotating disk 342. The sleeve 3422 is mounted on the rotating shaft 3412. The second annular clothes hanger 32 is centrally connected to the lower end of the sleeve 3422 via a cross-shaped bracket. Two brackets 343 are symmetrically distributed near the first and second rotating disks 341, 342. The brackets 343 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second partition 22. Two symmetrically distributed gears 344 are disposed between the first and second rotating disks 341, 342. The axes of the gears 344 extend radially along the first and second rotating disks 341, 342. The teeth of each gear 344 engage simultaneously with the first and second tooth structures 3411, 3421. Each gear 344 is rotatably connected to a bracket 343 at a corresponding position on the rotating shaft on one side.

[0055] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the upper surface of the second partition 22 is a sloped surface sloping downward from back to front. A water collection groove 221 is formed on the upper surface of the second partition 22 near the front edge. A through outlet 222 is provided at the bottom right side of the water collection groove 221. A filter 223 is installed at the outlet 222. An air outlet grille 43 is provided on the upper surface of the second partition 22 near the rear edge. A curved plate 431 is provided on the air outlet grille 43 as a partition. The curved plate 431 divides the grille holes on the air outlet grille 43 into two parts: six first grille holes 432 located on the rear side of the curved plate 431 and one second grille hole 433 located on the front side of the curved plate 431. This allows the hot and dry air to be partially directed toward the clothing hanging area within the clothing processing chamber 24, while the other part is directed toward the upper surface of the second partition 22 in a direction from the rear to the front. A steam outlet 434 is provided in the area to the right of the first grille hole 432 and the second grille hole 433 on the air outlet grille 43. A steam generating assembly (not shown) for supplying high-temperature steam to the clothing processing chamber 24 and a hot air assembly for supplying dry hot air are provided in the second installation chamber 25. The hot air assembly includes an air duct 41 located in the second installation chamber 25. The air inlet end of the air duct 41 is connected to the outlet 222, and the air outlet end of the air duct 41 is connected to the first grille hole 432 and the second grille hole 433 of the air outlet grille 43. A water receiving trough 411 is provided below the outlet 222 in the air duct 41. An electric heater 42 and a fan (not shown) are also provided in sequence in the air duct 41 downstream of the water receiving trough 411. An anemometer 224 is provided below the filter 223 in the outlet 222. The outlet of the steam generating assembly is connected to the steam outlet 434 via a pipeline.

[0056] The clothing processing device also includes a controller (not shown in the figure), a networking device (not shown in the figure), a prompt device (not shown in the figure, such as a display screen, a voice broadcast device or an indicator light) and an electronic tag identification device (not shown in the figure) arranged at the clothing taking and placing port 151. The motor 33, the first gravity sensor 311, the second gravity sensor 321, the electric heater 42, the fan, the anemometer 224, the steam generating component, the networking device, the prompt device, and the electronic tag identification device are communicatively connected to the controller of the clothing processing device.

[0057] When clothing (with electronic tags attached) is sequentially hung in the first and second hanging holes 312, 322 of the clothing processing chamber 24 through the clothing access opening 151, the electronic tag recognition device identifies the identity information (e.g., serial number) of the clothing placed in the clothing processing chamber 24. Simultaneously, the first and second gravity sensors 311, 321 measure the weight of the corresponding first and second hanging holes 312, 322 in real time, thereby determining the hanging position of the clothing placed in the clothing processing chamber 24 and establishing a corresponding relationship that is stored in the controller's memory.

[0058] During the wrinkle removal care stage, multiple pieces of clothing are evenly hung on the first hanging hole 312 and the second hanging hole 322, the steam generating assembly generates high-temperature steam and passes it into the clothing processing chamber 24 through the steam outlet 434, the motor 33 drives the first annular clothes hanger 31 and the second annular clothes hanger 32 to rotate in opposite directions through the transmission mechanism 34, and the clothes hung on the first annular clothes hanger 31 and the clothes hung on the second annular clothes hanger 32 rotate in opposite directions to each other in the inner circle area and the outer circle area respectively. As the clothes hung on the first annular clothes hanger 31 and the clothes hung on the second annular clothes hanger 32 rotate in opposite directions, the air in the clothes processing chamber 24 rotates and disturbs each other. The high-temperature steam introduced into the clothes processing chamber 24 flows along with the rotation and disturbance of the air in the clothes processing chamber 24. The high-temperature steam is more evenly distributed in the clothes processing chamber 24 and contacts the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 24 more fully. When the rotating clothes and the air containing high-temperature steam move relative to each other, the high-temperature steam penetrates deep into the fibers of the clothes and even penetrates the clothes, so that the fibers of the clothes can fully contact the high-temperature steam, which greatly improves the effect of high-temperature steam in removing wrinkles on clothes.

[0059] During the drying stage, the clothing processing equipment establishes a communication connection with the cloud server (the cloud server stores the correspondence between the clothing number and the dry weight) through the networking device, and obtains the dry weight of the corresponding clothing from the cloud server according to the number of the clothing inside the clothing processing chamber 24.

[0060] Multiple pieces of clothing are evenly hung on the first hanging hole 312 and the second hanging hole 322. The fan in the air duct 41 is activated, causing air in the clothing processing chamber 24 to flow from the exhaust port 222 into the air duct 41. After passing through the electric heater 42, it is converted into high-temperature dry air and then flows into the clothing processing chamber 24 through the first and second grille holes 432, 433 of the air outlet grille 43. The high-temperature dry air flowing out of the first grille hole 432 flows toward the clothing hanging area in the clothing processing chamber 24, while the high-temperature dry air flowing out of the second grille hole 433 flows from the back to the front toward the second partition 22. The motor 33 drives the first and second ring-shaped hangers 31, 32 to rotate in opposite directions via the transmission mechanism 34. The clothing hung on the first and second ring-shaped hangers 31, 32 rotate in opposite directions in the inner and outer ring areas, respectively. As the clothes hung on the first annular clothes hanger 31 and the clothes hung on the second annular clothes hanger 32 rotate in opposite directions, the air in the clothes processing chamber 24 rotates and disturbs each other. The high-temperature dry air flowing in from the first grille hole 432 flows along with the rotation and disturbance of the air in the clothes processing chamber 24. The high-temperature dry air is more evenly distributed in the clothes processing chamber 24 and contacts the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 24 more fully. When the rotating clothes and the high-temperature dry air move relative to each other, the high-temperature dry air penetrates deep into the fibers of the clothes and even penetrates the clothes, so that the fibers of the clothes can fully contact the high-temperature dry air. The moisture contained in the fibers of the clothes evaporates rapidly into water vapor after contacting the high-temperature dry air. The humid hot air containing water vapor contacts the inner wall of the clothes processing chamber 24, and the water vapor therein condenses into condensed water and flows to the upper surface of the second partition 22. The humid hot air becomes dry air with relatively low humidity. The condensed water flowing to the upper surface of the second partition 22 quickly flows from the back to the front along the second partition 22 into the water collecting tank 221. During this process, lint from the clothes falls onto the upper surface of the second partition plate 22 and flows into the water collection tank 221 along with the condensed water. Simultaneously, the high-temperature, dry air flowing in through the second grille holes 433 accelerates the flow of condensed water and lint from the upper surface of the second partition plate 22 toward the water collection tank 221 from back to front. The condensed water in the water collection tank 221 is filtered through the filter 223 and then flows from the outlet 222 into the water receiving tank 411.

[0061] The first gravity sensor 311 and the second gravity sensor 321 detect the weight of the hanging laundry in real time. When the weight of the hanging laundry decreases to the corresponding dry weight, a prompting device notifies the user that the laundry has reached a dry state. The user can pause the laundry processing device and remove the dried laundry from the laundry processing chamber 24.

[0062] The anemometer 224 detects the wind speed flowing through the outlet 222 in real time. When the detected wind speed is less than the preset wind speed, it means that a lot of lint has accumulated on the filter 223. At this time, the controller can prompt the user to clean the filter 223 in time through the prompt device.

[0063] During the wrinkle removal stage and the drying stage, the motor 33 drives the first annular clothes hanger 31 and the second annular clothes hanger 32 to rotate in opposite directions through the transmission mechanism 34. The clothes hung on the first annular clothes hanger 31 and the clothes hung on the second annular clothes hanger 32 rotate in opposite directions in the inner circle area and the outer circle area respectively, so that the air in the clothes processing chamber 24 rotates and disturbs each other. The high-temperature water vapor and dry hot air entering the clothes processing chamber 24 can flow with the air in the clothes processing chamber 24. The high-temperature water vapor and dry hot air can contact the clothes more comprehensively and evenly, and even penetrate the clothes, so that the clothes hung at different positions on the first annular clothes hanger 31 and the second annular clothes hanger 32 can be quickly processed, and the difference in the time it takes to process the clothes at different positions is reduced, which greatly shortens the processing time of the clothes, improves the clothing processing efficiency, and reduces energy consumption.

[0064] Compared to a method where two motors are used to drive the first and second annular hangers 31, 32 in opposite directions, a single motor 33 drives the first and second annular hangers 31, 32 in opposite directions via a transmission mechanism 34. This reduces the number of motors required and lowers the manufacturing cost of the clothing processing device. It is understood that this is only a preferred configuration and can be adjusted in practice, such as providing two motors, each of which is connected to the first and second annular hangers 31, 32 via two transmission mechanisms.

[0065] Eight first gravity sensors 311 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the first annular hanger 31, each of which is provided with a first hanging hole 312 serving as a first hooking structure. Eight second gravity sensors 321 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the second annular hanger 32, each of which is provided with a second hanging hole 322 serving as a second hooking structure. With this arrangement, during the drying process, the gravity sensors at each hanging structure can detect the weight of the clothing hung therein in real time, thereby determining whether the clothing has reached a dry state. When a piece of clothing has reached a dry state, the user can be reminded to promptly remove the dried clothing, reducing the amount of clothing in the clothing processing chamber 24 and more effectively drying any remaining clothing that has not yet reached a dry state, further improving the efficiency of the clothing drying operation and reducing energy consumption.

[0066] The upper surface of the second partition 22 is an inclined surface slanting downward from the back to the front (that is, the bottom of the clothing processing chamber 24 is arranged to be inclined downward from the back to the front), and a water collecting trough 221 is formed on the upper surface of the second partition 22 near the front edge, and a through discharge outlet 222 is provided at the right side of the bottom of the water collecting trough 221, and a filter screen 223 is provided at the discharge outlet 222. A water receiving trough 411 is provided below the discharge outlet 222 in the air duct 41, so that the condensed water flowing to the upper surface of the second partition 22 during the drying process can quickly flow to the discharge outlet 222, thereby avoiding the accumulation of condensed water at the bottom of the clothing processing chamber 24.

[0067] The air outlet grille 43 is provided with a curved plate 431 serving as a partition. The curved plate 431 divides the grille holes on the air outlet grille 43 into two parts: one part is the six first grille holes 432 located on the rear side of the curved plate 431, and the other part is the second grille hole 433 located on the front side of the curved plate 431. This allows part of the blown hot and dry air to be blown toward the clothing hanging area in the clothing processing chamber 24, while the other part is blown toward the upper surface of the second partition 22 along the direction from the rear side to the front side of the second partition 22. This allows the hot and dry air blown out of the air outlet of the hot air assembly to be blown toward the upper surface of the second partition 22 along the direction from the rear side to the front side of the second partition 22, blowing lint that falls on the upper surface of the second partition 22 toward the filter 223 at the outlet 222, achieving the effect of automatically cleaning the lint. In addition, after the clothes reach a dry state, the upper surface of the second partition 22 can quickly reach a dry state, thereby avoiding the situation where the upper surface of the second partition 22 remains wet for a long time after the clothes processing device completes the drying process of the clothes, thereby breeding bacteria and generating odor.

[0068] The air inlet end of the air duct 41 is connected to the exhaust port 222, and an anemometer 224 is provided in the exhaust port 222 below the filter 223. Through such a setting, compared with the solution in which the air inlet of the hot air component is connected to the external environment of the clothing processing equipment, this can not only reduce the energy consumption required to form dry hot air, but also determine whether the filter 223 is blocked through the detection value of the anemometer 224, so as to notify the user to clean the filter in time when the filter 223 is blocked.

[0069] It should be noted that the number of first gravity sensors 311 and second gravity sensors 321 is eight, but this is only a specific configuration and can be adjusted in actual applications. For example, the number of first gravity sensors 311 and second gravity sensors 321 can be four, five, nine, ten, or more. Furthermore, the first hanging hole 312 serves as a first hook structure, and the second hanging hole 322 serves as a second hook structure. This is only a specific configuration and can be adjusted in actual applications. For example, the first hook structure and the second hook structure can also be configured as hooks.

[0071] In another feasible embodiment, unlike the above embodiment, the anemometer 224 and curved plate 431 are omitted. Instead, the air outlet grille 43 is provided with a wind direction switching device, comprising an air guide plate positioned within the grille opening of the air outlet grille 43 and a motor for rotating the air guide plate. During the drying phase, the air guide plate is in a first state, directing the hot, dry air from the air outlet grille 43 toward the clothing hanging area within the clothing processing chamber 24. At the end of the drying phase, the air guide plate is in a second state, directing the hot, dry air from the air outlet grille 43 toward the upper surface of the second partition 22, in a direction from the rear to the front of the second partition 22. This results in higher clothing drying efficiency and relatively lower energy consumption.

[0075] In another feasible embodiment, different from the above embodiment, the output shaft of the motor 33 is not connected to the first rotary disk 341 , but is drivingly connected to the rotary shaft of a gear 344 .
