Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and more particularly to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, taking a clothes dryer as an example, since the clothes processing drum is in a rotating state, considering the issues of power supply and signal transmission, electrical components such as units that detect the status of clothes and units that perform specific functions cannot be directly placed inside the clothes processing drum. If it is necessary to determine whether the clothes are completely dried, the unit that detects the status of clothes can only be placed at the air inlet and outlet of the clothes processing drum. The difference in airflow at the air inlet and outlet is used to determine whether the clothes are dried. This method has low detection accuracy, and the electrical components cannot sense the status of clothes at close range or perform specific functions. Summary of the Invention

[0063] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0064] The specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different combinations of specific technical features can form different embodiments and technical solutions. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in this invention will not be described separately.

[0065] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used merely to distinguish different objects and do not indicate that the objects have the sameness or relationship. It should be understood that the directional descriptions "above," "below," "outside," and "inside" refer to the orientation under normal use conditions, while "left" and "right" refer to the left and right directions shown in the corresponding diagrams, which may or may not be the left and right directions under normal use conditions.

[0066] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element. "A plurality of" means two or more.

[0067] Please see Figures 1 to 21 This application provides a clothing processing device 1, which includes a clothing processing tube 10 and a wireless power supply component.

[0068] It is understood that the type of clothing processing equipment 1 is not limited, and can be a dryer, washer-dryer combo, etc., and is not restricted here. Exemplarily, this application embodiment uses a dryer as an example for illustration.

[0069] The garment processing cylinder 10 has a garment processing chamber 10a.

[0070] The clothes handling drum 10 is used to place and dry clothes, and it can rotate the clothes. Taking a tumble dryer as an example, the rotation axis of the clothes handling drum 10 is horizontal, and the front of the clothes handling drum 10 has a clothes inlet. Users put or take out clothes into the clothes handling drum 10 through the clothes inlet. During the rotation of the clothes handling drum 10, it moves the clothes from bottom to top. Under the action of gravity, the clothes fall from top to bottom. In this way, the clothes are dispersed, shaken, and their posture is changed under the combined action of the clothes handling drum 10 and gravity.

[0071] It is understandable that the garment processing cylinder 10 can be a single-cylinder structure, meaning that the garment processing device 1 has only one cylinder, the garment processing cylinder 10. Of course, in other examples, the garment processing device 1 may also include an outer cylinder, which is located circumferentially outside the garment processing cylinder 10.

[0072] This application describes the garment processing equipment 1 using a single-tube structure.

[0073] For example, the garment processing drum 10 is generally hollow and cylindrical. The garment processing drum 10 may be made of metal, such as stainless steel, etc., and there is no limitation on this.

[0074] The wireless power supply component is a structure that provides power to the electrical components in the clothing processing equipment 1 wirelessly.

[0075] For example, the wireless power supply component includes a transmitting module 12, a receiving module 13, and at least one bracket. The transmitting module 12 is disposed on a component outside the clothing handling tube 10, and the receiving module 13 is disposed on the clothing handling tube 10.

[0076] It should be noted that the components other than the clothing processing cylinder 10 refer to components that are independent of the clothing processing cylinder 10 and are located outside the clothing processing cylinder 10. When the clothing processing cylinder 10 rotates, the transmitting module 12 remains stationary relative to the clothing processing cylinder 10. For example, it can be the housing 11, the base 16 located below the housing 11, etc., and there are no restrictions here.

[0077] It should be noted that the transmitting module 12 is located on a component outside the clothing processing tube 10. It can be that the various components of the transmitting module 12 are integrated together and set as a whole on a component outside the clothing processing tube 10, or the various components of the transmitting module 12 are dispersed on different components outside the clothing processing tube 10 or on different parts of the same component. There is no limitation here.

[0078] The receiving module 13 is located in the clothing processing drum 10. That is to say, during the operation of the clothing processing equipment 1, the receiving module 13 will also rotate synchronously when the clothing processing drum 10 rotates.

[0079] It should be noted that the receiving module 13 is located in the clothing processing tube 10. It can be that the various components of the receiving module 13 are integrated together and set as a whole in the clothing processing tube 10, or the various components of the receiving module 13 are dispersed in different positions in the clothing processing tube 10. There is no limitation here.

[0080] Exemplarily, the transmitting module 12 can be electrically connected to the main control board of the clothing processing device 1. The main control board is used to control the operation of the clothing processing device 1 and supply power to various parts within the clothing processing device 1, enabling the circuits of each part to work normally and realize functions such as drying control. Exemplarily, the transmitting module 12 can be electrically connected to the main control board via a cable to receive power supplied by the main control board. The transmitting module 12 is wirelessly connected to the receiving module 13, that is, the transmitting module 12 can wirelessly transmit power to the receiving module 13.

[0081] The transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 can achieve wireless connection through electromagnetic induction.

[0082] For example, the transmitting module 12 includes a transmitting coil 121, and the receiving module 13 includes a receiving coil 131. The receiving coil 131 is used to receive the electromagnetic signal emitted by the transmitting coil 121 and generate an induced current.

[0083] Specifically, the transmitting coil 121 generates a changing magnetic field, and the receiving coil 131 generates an induced current through electromagnetic induction to receive electrical energy transmission from the transmitting coil 121.

[0084] Thus, the electrical components installed inside the clothing processing drum 10 can be electrically connected to the receiving module 13, and the receiving module 13 can supply power to the electrical components to meet the power demand.

[0085] It should be noted that an electrical component can be a structural element capable of performing an electrical function and / or used in a circuit to perform at least one electrical function. The number of electrical components can be one, two, three, or more.

[0086] The electrical components can be units for detecting the condition of the clothing, as well as other units with specific functions that can improve drying performance. For example, the unit for detecting the condition of the clothing can be used to detect the temperature, conductivity, etc. of the clothing.

[0087] It is understood that the receiving module 13 is disposed in the clothing processing drum 10, and electrical components, such as units for detecting the status of clothing, can be disposed inside the clothing processing drum 10 and electrically connected to the receiving module 13 to obtain electrical energy. When the clothing processing drum 10 rotates, the receiving module 13 and the electrical components rotate synchronously, and the electrical connection between the receiving module and the electrical components is relatively stable. Furthermore, the receiving module 13 can also receive electrical energy transmitted from the transmitting module 12 during rotation. In this way, the electrical components disposed inside the clothing processing drum 10 can sense the status of clothing at close range and perform specific functions, thereby improving the working performance of the clothing processing equipment 1. For example, the judgment performance of the clothing processing equipment 1 can be improved.

[0088] At least one bracket is used to support the transmitting coil 121 and / or the receiving coil 131.

[0089] It should be noted that the phrase "at least one bracket for supporting the transmitting coil 121 and / or the receiving coil 131" means that the number of brackets is one or more. When there is only one bracket, it can support the transmitting coil 121, meaning the bracket is integrated with the transmitting coil 121 to provide support for it, and it can also support the receiving coil 131, meaning the bracket is integrated with the receiving coil 131 to provide support for it. When there are multiple brackets, one bracket supports the transmitting coil 121, and another bracket supports the receiving coil 131, thus providing support for the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 respectively.

[0090] In related technologies, taking a clothes dryer as an example, since the clothes processing drum is in a rotating state, considering the issues of power supply and signal transmission, electrical components such as units that detect the status of clothes and units with specific functions cannot be directly placed inside the clothes processing drum. If it is necessary to determine whether the clothes are completely dried, the unit that detects the status of clothes can only be placed at the air inlet and outlet of the clothes processing drum. The difference in airflow at the air inlet and outlet is used to determine whether the clothes are dried. This method has low detection accuracy, and the electrical components cannot sense the status of clothes at close range or perform specific functions at close range.

[0091] The garment processing device 1 provided in this application embodiment can transmit electrical energy without contact between the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13. This enables power transmission between the relatively rotating garment processing drum 10 and components outside the relatively stationary garment processing drum 10, achieving high reliability without the need for wire connections. Furthermore, the electrical components of the garment processing device 1 can be housed within the garment processing drum 10, with the receiving module 13 supplying power to them. This facilitates meeting the power requirements of the electrical components and allows for close-range sensing of the garment's condition, improving the overall performance of the garment processing device 1. At least one bracket is integrated with the transmitting module 12 and / or the receiving module 13. This bracket provides support and protection for the transmitting module 12 and / or the receiving module 13, and also enables connection between the receiving module 13 and the garment processing drum 10, and / or between the transmitting module 12 and components outside the garment processing drum 10, increasing the structural reliability of the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13.

[0092] It should be noted that in some examples, the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 can transmit signals in addition to transmitting electrical energy. That is, the clothing information detected by the electrical components can be transmitted to the receiving module 13, and the receiving module 13 can then transmit the information to the transmitting module 12.

[0093] Of course, in other embodiments, the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 may only transmit electrical energy. The clothing processing device 1 may be equipped with a wireless transmission unit. The receiving module 13 can provide electrical energy to the wireless transmission unit, and the wireless transmission unit can receive clothing information detected by electrical components and transmit it wirelessly.

[0094] For example, please refer to Figure 1 The transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are roughly in a ring shape.

[0095] The arrangement of the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 is not limited. Exemplarily, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are arranged opposite each other. This reduces the impact of the rotating clothes handling drum 10 on the transmitting coil 121, increasing installation safety.

[0096] It should be noted that the relative arrangement of the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 means that there is a certain gap between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131, and that the projection of the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 at least partially overlap with the projection of a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction. For example, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are arranged coaxially.

[0097] It should be noted that the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 can always remain coaxial and relative to each other, that is, no matter where the clothes handling drum 10 rotates, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 always remain coaxial and relative to each other. Alternatively, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 can be coaxial and relative to each other at a specific position, that is, the receiving coil 131 can move to that specific position and be coaxial and relative to the transmitting coil 121 as the clothes handling drum 10 rotates.

[0098] The distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 is unlimited.

[0099] In some embodiments, the distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 is 4 mm to 15 mm. For example, 4 mm, 4.5 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, etc.

[0100] It should be noted that the distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 refers to the distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 along their axial direction when they are arranged opposite each other.

[0101] Understandably, if the distance between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil is too large, the induced current generated by the receiving coil will be smaller, and thus the main control board will need to provide more operating power to the transmitting coil. If the distance between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil is too small, the distance between the transmitting coil and the clothes processing drum will be smaller, which will increase the probability of interference between the transmitting coil and the clothes processing drum and increase the probability of damage to the transmitting coil.

[0102] In this embodiment, the distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 is neither too large nor too small, and there is a sufficient safe distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the clothes handling drum 10. While increasing the working safety of the transmitting coil 121, the receiving coil 131 can generate a sufficient induced current to meet the power demand of the electrical components.

[0103] In some embodiments, the distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 is 5.5 mm to 10 mm. For example, 5.5 mm, 5.7 mm, 6 mm, 6.2 mm, 6.6 mm, 7 mm, 7.4 mm, 8 mm, 8.6 mm, 9 mm, 9.3 mm, 9.8 mm, 10 mm, etc.

[0104] In this embodiment, the distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 is more suitable, the probability of the transmitting coil 121 interfering with the clothing processing drum 10 is small, and the transmitting coil 121 can provide sufficient operating current to the receiving coil 131, thereby increasing the reliability of wireless power transmission of the clothing processing device 1.

[0105] The positions of the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are not limited.

[0106] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The garment processing tube 10 includes a tube body 101 and a rear cover 102, with the rear cover 102 located at the rear end of the tube body 101.

[0107] Specifically, the front end of the tube body 101 is open to form a clothing inlet, and the rear end cooperates with the rear cover 102. The tube body 101 and the rear cover 102 together define the clothing processing chamber 10a. Exemplarily, the rear end of the tube body 101 can be detachably connected to the rear cover 102.

[0108] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The receiving coil 131 is located on the side of the rear cover 102 away from the body 101. This prevents the receiving coil 131 from contacting the clothes inside the clothing processing chamber 10a, reducing the impact of moisture or lint on the receiving coil 131 and increasing its operational safety. Furthermore, positioning the receiving coil 131 on the side of the rear cover 102 away from the body 101 also facilitates the relative arrangement of the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121.

[0109] For example, the garment processing device 1 includes a housing 11, a garment processing tube 10 is disposed inside the housing 11, and the housing 11 includes a rear plate 111 disposed on the rear side of the rear cover 102.

[0110] Specifically, the housing 11 is an external component of the clothing processing equipment 1, which can protect the internal clothing processing drum 10.

[0111] It should be noted that the rear panel 111 refers to the component of the housing 11 located on the rear side of the garment processing equipment 1 in the front-to-back direction. The rear side is the side of the garment processing equipment 1 that is furthest from the user after installation.

[0112] For example, the radial edge of the rear cover 102 is dynamically sealed to the inner surface of the rear plate 111. That is, the rear cover 102 is sealed to the rear plate 111, and the rear cover 102 is rotatable relative to the rear plate 111.

[0113] The transmitting coil 121 is located on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the rear cover 102. That is, the transmitting coil 121 is located on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the cylinder body 101.

[0114] In this embodiment, the receiving coil 131 is disposed on the side of the rear cover 102 away from the body 101, and the transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the rear cover 102. This ensures that the transmitting coil 121 does not interfere with the clothing processing tube 10, while also keeping the distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 relatively short, thereby facilitating effective and sufficient power transmission. The rear plate 111 and the rear cover 102 can provide sufficient installation space for the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131, respectively, increasing the reliability of the layout.

[0115] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, it is also convenient to arrange the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 along the axial direction of the clothing processing drum 10. Even if the transmitting coil 121, the receiving coil 131, and the clothing processing drum 10 are arranged coaxially, during the rotation of the clothing processing drum 10, no matter where the receiving coil 131 rotates with the clothing processing drum 10, the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121 can always maintain a relative state. This facilitates the receiving coil 131 to continuously and stably receive the electrical energy transmitted by the transmitting coil 121, so as to continuously provide electrical energy to the electrical components inside the clothing processing drum 10. That is, during the rotation of the clothing processing drum 10, the receiving coil 131 can always provide effective and sufficient power to the electrical components without the need for additional auxiliary power supply structures, thus increasing the power supply reliability of the clothing processing device 1.

[0116] The connection method between the transmitting coil 121 and the rear plate 111 is not limited.

[0117] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 At least one bracket includes a first bracket 122, the first bracket 122 includes a first annular portion 1221 and a first connecting portion 1222 connected to the first annular portion 1221, a transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the first annular portion 1221, and the first connecting portion 1222 is connected to the rear plate 111.

[0118] In this embodiment, the first annular portion 1221 provides installation space for the transmitting coil 121, and the first connecting portion 1222 is connected to the rear plate 111. The first annular portion 1221 and the first connecting portion 1222 stabilize the installation position of the transmitting coil 121 in the clothing processing equipment 1, reduce the probability of damage to the transmitting coil 121, and increase the working stability of the transmitting coil 121.

[0119] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The first annular portion 1221 has a first annular groove 1221a, which is open to the side facing the rear cover 102, and the transmitting coil 121 is housed in the first annular groove 1221a.

[0120] Specifically, the first annular groove 1221a is an annular space defined by the structure of the first annular portion 1221 itself. The first annular groove 1221a is open on the side facing the rear cover 102, which facilitates the relative arrangement of the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131, thereby achieving effective power transmission. The side of the first annular groove 1221a facing the rear plate 111 can be closed to provide support for the transmitting coil 121 and reduce the probability of the transmitting coil 121 detaching from the first annular groove 1221a.

[0121] The specific structure of the first annular part 1221 is not limited.

[0122] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The first annular portion 1221 includes a first annular plate 12211, a first inner annular wall 12212, and a first outer annular wall 12213. The first inner annular wall 12212 is disposed on the radial inner edge of the first annular plate 12211, and the first outer annular wall 12213 is disposed on the radial outer edge of the first annular plate 12211. The gap between the first inner annular wall 12212 and the first outer annular wall 12213 forms a first annular groove 1221a.

[0123] Specifically, when the transmitting coil 121 is engaged with the first annular portion 1221, the transmitting coil 121 is wrapped around the outer circumferential side of the first inner annular wall 12212 and located on the inner circumferential side of the first outer annular wall 12213. One end of the transmitting coil 121 along the axial direction abuts against the first annular plate 12211, thereby realizing the docking of the transmitting coil 121 with the first annular portion 1221.

[0124] The first connecting portion 1222 is disposed on the radially outer side of the first outer ring wall 12213, or the first connecting portion 1222 is disposed on the radially inner side of the first inner ring wall 12212.

[0125] In other words, one end of the first connecting portion 1222 can be connected to the first outer ring wall 12213 or the first inner ring wall 12212, and the other end of the first connecting portion 1222 is connected to the rear plate 111 to achieve the connection between the first bracket 122 and the rear plate 111. For example, please refer to... Figure 3 The first connecting part 1222 is disposed on the radial outer side of the first outer ring wall 12213, so that the first connecting part 1222 can have sufficient extension space to achieve a stable connection with the rear plate 111.

[0126] In this embodiment, the connection between the transmitting coil 121 and the first annular portion 1221 is convenient, making it easy to disassemble and inspect the transmitting coil 121. The structure of the first annular portion 1221 is simple, which can reduce the manufacturing requirements of the first bracket 122. The setting position of the first connecting portion 1222 can also reduce the probability of interference with the transmitting coil 121, making it easy to realize the relative arrangement of the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131.

[0127] The first connecting part 1222 can be detachably connected to the rear plate 111. For example, the first connecting part 1222 can be connected to the rear plate 111 by screws, which is not limited here.

[0128] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 At least one bracket includes a second bracket 132, the second bracket 132 includes a second annular portion 1321 and a second connecting portion 1322 connected to the second annular portion 1321, a receiving coil 131 is disposed on the second annular portion 1321, and the second connecting portion 1322 is connected to the rear cover 102.

[0129] In this embodiment, the second annular portion 1321 provides installation space for the receiving coil 131, and the second connecting portion 1322 is connected to the rear cover 102. The second annular portion 1321 and the second connecting portion 1322 stabilize the installation position of the receiving coil 131 in the clothing processing equipment 1, reduce the probability of damage to the receiving coil 131, and increase the working stability of the receiving coil 131.

[0130] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The back cover 102 includes a core 1021, an outer ring structure 1022, and a plurality of support arms 1023. The outer ring structure 1022 surrounds the outer circumferential side of the core 1021, and the plurality of support arms 1023 are radially distributed along the circumference of the core 1021. The support arms 1023 connect the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022. A second annular portion 1321 is disposed on the side of the core 1021 facing the back plate 111.

[0131] It is understood that the core 1021 is roughly located in the central area of ​​the back cover 102, and the multiple support arms 1023 are radially distributed along the circumference of the core 1021. This means that the multiple support arms 1023 are arranged around the axis of the core 1021. The support arms 1023 can extend in a straight line or in a curve, and there is no restriction here.

[0132] The support arm connects the core 1021 to the outer ring structure 1022, which enables the back cover 102 to have sufficient structural strength and increases the structural stability of the clothing treatment tube 10.

[0133] For example, the support arm 1023 can be integrally formed with the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022; or, the support arm 1023 can be connected to the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022 by means of rivets, welding, threaded connection, etc., without limitation.

[0134] The second annular portion 1321 is disposed on the side of the core portion 1021 facing the rear plate 111, that is, the second annular portion 1321 is approximately disposed in the central area of ​​the rear cover 102. Thus, the receiving coil 131 can also be approximately disposed in the central area of ​​the rear cover 102, thereby enabling the receiving coil 131 to be coaxially disposed with the clothes handling drum 10. The core portion 1021 has sufficient installation space to accommodate the second annular portion 1321, thereby increasing the connection stability between the second bracket 132 and the core 1021. Furthermore, the size of the second bracket 132 does not need to be large. During the rotation of the clothes handling drum 10, the movement stability of the receiving coil 131, which is approximately located in the central area of ​​the rear cover 102, can also be higher, increasing operational reliability.

[0135] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The second bracket 132 has a second annular groove 1321a, which is open on the side facing the rear plate 111, and the receiving coil 131 is housed in the second annular groove 1321a.

[0136] Specifically, the second annular groove 1321a is an annular space defined by the structure of the second annular portion 1321 itself. The side of the second annular groove 1321a facing the rear plate 111 is open, which facilitates the relative arrangement of the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121, thereby achieving effective power transmission. The side of the second annular groove 1321a facing the rear cover 102 can be closed to provide support for the receiving coil 131 and reduce the probability of the receiving coil 131 detaching from the second annular groove 1321a.

[0137] The specific structure of the second annular portion 1321 is not limited.

[0138] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5The second support 132 includes a second ring plate 13211, a second inner ring wall 13212, and a second outer ring wall 13213. The second inner ring wall 13212 is disposed on the radial inner edge of the second ring plate 13211, and the second outer ring wall 13213 is disposed on the radial outer edge of the second ring plate 13211. The gap between the second inner ring wall 13212 and the second outer ring wall 13213 forms a second ring groove 1321a.

[0139] Specifically, when the receiving coil 131 is engaged with the second annular portion 1321, the receiving coil 131 is wrapped around the circumferential outer side of the second inner annular wall 13212 and located on the circumferential inner side of the second outer annular wall 13213. One end of the receiving coil 131 along the axial direction abuts against the second annular plate 13211, thereby realizing the docking of the receiving coil 131 and the second annular portion 1321.

[0140] The second connecting portion 1322 is disposed on the radially outer side of the second outer ring wall 13213, or the second connecting portion 1322 is disposed on the radially inner side of the second inner ring wall 13212.

[0141] In other words, one end of the second connecting portion 1322 can be connected to the second outer ring wall 13213 or the second inner ring wall 13212, and the other end of the second connecting portion 1322 is connected to the rear cover 102 to achieve the connection between the second bracket 132 and the rear cover 102. For example, please refer to... Figure 5 The second connecting portion 1322 is located radially inside the second inner ring wall 13212. This reduces the likelihood that the second connecting portion 1322 will affect the air intake of the garment handling drum 10 at the rear cover 102.

[0142] In this embodiment, the receiving coil 131 and the second annular portion 1321 are easy to connect, which facilitates the disassembly and inspection of the receiving coil 131. The structure of the second annular portion 1321 is simple, which can reduce the manufacturing requirements of the second bracket 132. The setting position of the second connecting portion 1322 can also reduce the probability of interference with the receiving coil 131, and facilitate the relative arrangement of the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121.

[0143] The second connecting part 1322 can be detachably connected to the rear cover 102. For example, the second connecting part 1322 can be connected to the rear cover 102 by screws, which is not limited here.

[0144] In some embodiments, the transmitting module 12 further includes a transmitting circuit board 123, and the transmitting coil 121 is electrically connected to the transmitting circuit board 123.

[0145] Specifically, the transmitting module 12 can be electrically connected to the main control board of the garment processing device 1 through the transmitting circuit board 123.

[0146] The transmitting circuit board 123 may include at least one of a modulation / demodulation circuit and a power supply circuit. The modulation / demodulation circuit can convert signals, and the power supply circuit can transfer electrical energy to the receiving module 13.

[0147] The location and electrical connection method of the transmitting circuit board 123 and the transmitting coil 121 are not limited.

[0148] For some examples, please refer to Figure 7 The transmitting circuit board 123 is disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 away from the clothing processing drum 10. That is, in this embodiment, the transmitting circuit board 123 and the transmitting coil 121 are disposed at intervals, the transmitting circuit board 123 is disposed on the rear side of the rear plate 111, and the transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the front side of the rear plate 111. The transmitting coil 121 and the transmitting circuit board 123 can be electrically connected by a cable.

[0149] In this embodiment, the transmitting circuit board 123 and the transmitting coil 121 are arranged separately, which makes it easier to place the transmitting circuit board 123 near the main control board, shortening the wiring distance between the transmitting circuit board 123 and the main control board. In addition, the transmitting circuit board 123 is located on the side of the rear plate 111 away from the clothing processing tube 10, which can further reduce the probability of the transmitting circuit board 123 coming into contact with the clothing and airflow in the clothing processing chamber 10a, and increase the working safety of the transmitting circuit board 123.

[0150] In other embodiments, the transmitting coil 121 and the transmitting circuit board 123 are integrated on the first bracket 122.

[0151] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 121 and the transmitting circuit board 123 are integrated by the first bracket 122, eliminating the need to connect the transmitting coil 121 and the transmitting circuit board 123 with cables, thus reducing the high assembly complexity caused by crisscrossing cables. The transmitting coil 121 and the transmitting circuit board 123 are set on the same plane, and the overall structure of the transmitting module 12 is simple and compact, with high ease of installation and maintenance of each component.

[0152] In some embodiments, the receiving module 13 further includes a receiving circuit board 133, and the receiving coil 131 is electrically connected to the receiving circuit board 133.

[0153] Specifically, the receiving module 13 can be electrically connected to electrical components through the receiving circuit board 133.

[0154] The receiving circuit board 133 may include at least one of a modulation / demodulation circuit and a power output circuit. The modulation / demodulation circuit can convert signals, and the power output circuit can output electrical energy.

[0155] The location and electrical connection method of the receiving circuit board 133 and the receiving coil 131 are not limited.

[0156] In some examples, the garment processing device 1 includes a lifting rib 14 that protrudes radially from the circumferential inner wall of the garment processing cylinder 10, and a receiving circuit board 133 is disposed within the lifting rib 14.

[0157] Specifically, the lifting rib 14 can contact the clothes inside the clothes processing chamber 10a and drive the clothes to rotate with the clothes processing cylinder 10. For example, the clothes move upward under the action of the lifting rib 14, and then move downward under the action of gravity and / or centrifugal force, etc. In this way, the clothes continuously change their posture inside the clothes processing chamber 10a.

[0158] The lifting rib 14 provides mounting space for the receiving circuit board 133, reducing the chance of the receiving circuit board 133 coming into contact with clothing and increasing the installation reliability of the receiving circuit board 133. Of course, the circuits of electrical components can also be set within the lifting rib 14, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0159] In this embodiment, the receiving circuit board 133 and the receiving coil 131 are arranged separately, which makes it easier to place the receiving circuit board 133 near the electrical components arranged in the clothes processing drum 10, shortening the wiring distance between the receiving circuit board 133 and the electrical components, so that the receiving circuit board 133 can directly provide power to the electrical components. The receiving coil 131 is arranged on the side of the back cover 102 away from the drum body 101, and the receiving circuit board 133 is arranged inside the lifting rib 14. The receiving coil 131 and the receiving circuit board 133 can be electrically connected through a cable.

[0160] In other examples, the receiving coil 131 and the receiving circuit board 133 are integrated on the second bracket 132.

[0161] In this embodiment, the receiving coil 131 and the receiving circuit board 133 are integrated by the second bracket 132, eliminating the need to connect the receiving coil 131 and the receiving circuit board 133 with cables, reducing the high assembly complexity caused by crisscrossing cables. The receiving coil 131 and the receiving circuit board 133 are set on the same plane, and the overall structure of the receiving module 13 is simple and compact, making the installation and maintenance of each component convenient.

[0162] In some embodiments, the receiving coil 131 is disposed on the circumferential outer side of the clothing handling tube 10, and the transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the inner side of the housing 11.

[0163] In this embodiment, the receiving coil 131 is disposed on the circumferential outer side of the clothing processing drum 10, that is, the axis of the receiving coil 131 is arranged radially along the clothing processing drum 10. During the rotation of the clothing processing drum 10, the transmitting coil 121 remains stationary relative to the clothing processing drum 10. When the receiving coil 131 rotates with the clothing processing drum 10 to a designated area, the receiving coil 131 is positioned opposite the transmitting coil 121 within that designated area. This allows the receiving coil 131 to receive the electromagnetic signal emitted by the transmitting coil 121 and generate an induced current, providing electrical energy to the electrical components. Outside the designated area, the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121 cannot transmit electrical energy.

[0164] In this embodiment, the receiving coil 131 transmits electrical energy to the transmitting coil 121 by rotating with the clothes handling drum 10, thereby powering the electrical components. The receiving coil 131 is located on the outer circumference of the clothes handling drum 10, and the transmitting coil 121 is located on the inner side of the housing 11, providing sufficient space for arrangement. This reduces the requirements for the installation positions of the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121, as long as they can be positioned relative to each other through rotation.

[0165] For example, the housing 11 includes a top plate 112, a transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the side of the top plate 112 facing the clothes handling drum 10, and a receiving coil 131 is disposed on the circumferential outer side of the clothes handling drum 10.

[0166] In other embodiments, the receiving coil 131 is disposed on the circumferential outer side of the clothing processing drum 10, the clothing processing device 1 includes a base 16, the base 16 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 11, the base 16 has a drying channel, the drying channel is connected to the clothing processing chamber 10a, and the transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the side of the base 16 facing the clothing processing drum 10.

[0167] Specifically, the airflow that has exchanged heat and moisture with the clothes can enter the drying tunnel, where condensation, dehumidification, and heating are completed, forming a new dry hot airflow that enters the clothes processing chamber 10a to dry the clothes.

[0168] For example, the garment processing drum 10 includes an air inlet and an air outlet, the garment processing chamber 10a is connected to the air inlet and the air outlet, the drying tunnel is connected to the air outlet, the air inlet is located on the rear cover 102, the dry hot airflow completes heat and moisture exchange with the clothes in the garment processing chamber 10a and can enter the drying tunnel through the air outlet, complete heat exchange in the drying tunnel, form a new dry hot airflow and enter the garment processing chamber 10a again through the air inlet, and so on, to complete the effective drying of the clothes.

[0169] In this embodiment, the receiving coil 131 is disposed on the circumferential outer side of the clothing processing drum 10, that is, the axis of the receiving coil 131 is arranged radially along the clothing processing drum 10. The transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the side of the base 16 facing the clothing processing drum 10. During the rotation of the clothing processing drum 10, the transmitting coil 121 remains stationary relative to the clothing processing drum 10. When the receiving coil 131 rotates with the clothing processing drum 10 to a set area, the receiving coil 131 is positioned opposite the transmitting coil 121 in that set area, thereby allowing the receiving coil 131 to receive the electromagnetic signal emitted by the transmitting coil 121 and generate an induced current to provide electrical energy to the electrical components. Outside the set area, the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121 cannot achieve electrical energy transmission.

[0170] In this embodiment, the receiving coil 131 transmits electrical energy to the transmitting coil 121 by rotating with the clothes handling drum 10, thereby powering the electrical components. The receiving coil 131 has sufficient space on the outer circumferential side of the clothes handling drum 10, and the transmitting coil 121 has sufficient space on the side of the base 16 facing the clothes handling drum 10. This reduces the requirements for the installation positions of the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121, as long as they can be positioned relative to each other through rotation.

[0188] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 18 The garment processing device 1 includes a detection unit 15, which is located inside the garment processing cylinder 10 and is used to detect the electrical conductivity of the garments in the garment processing chamber 10a. The receiving module 13 is electrically connected to the detection unit 15.

[0189] It is understood that the detection unit 15 is one of the aforementioned electrical components.

[0190] The detection unit 15 can detect the conductivity of the load, such as clothing, within the clothing processing chamber 10a. The clothing processing equipment 1 can determine the degree of drying based on the conductivity detected by the detection unit 15. For example, the detection principle of the detection unit 15 can be as follows: the load, such as clothing, within the clothing processing chamber 10a contacts the two detection electrodes 151 of the detection unit 15, causing the detection circuit of the detection unit 15 to conduct. The resistance values ​​of the load, such as clothing, have different levels of moisture; that is, the degree of moisture of the load, such as clothing, is related to its conductivity, and the degree of drying is determined based on the conductivity.

[0191] In this embodiment, the detection unit 15 is disposed inside the clothing processing drum 10, and the receiving module 13 provides power to the detection unit 15. The detection electrode 151 of the detection unit 15 can contact the clothing and other loads in the clothing processing chamber 10a, thereby sensing the degree of drying of the clothing at close range and effectively improving the accuracy of judging the degree of drying of the clothing and other loads in the clothing processing drum 10.

[0192] The installation position of the detection unit 15 inside the garment processing drum 10 is not limited.

[0193] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 18The garment processing device 1 includes a lifting rib 14, which protrudes radially from the circumferential inner wall of the garment processing cylinder 10. The detection unit 15 includes a detection electrode 151 and a detection circuit that are electrically connected to each other. The detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14, and the detection circuit is disposed inside the lifting rib 14. The detection circuit is electrically connected to the receiving module 13.

[0194] Specifically, the detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14, which facilitates close contact with loads such as clothing. The detection circuit is disposed inside the lifting rib 14. That is, while the lifting rib 14 can be used to move the clothing in the clothing processing cavity 10a, it can also provide installation space for the detection circuit, thereby reducing the probability of the detection circuit contacting the clothing to a certain extent and increasing the installation and working reliability of the detection unit 15.

[0195] In this embodiment, the receiving circuit board 133 of the receiving module 13 can be disposed in the lifting rib 14, or it can be integrated with the receiving coil 131 in the second bracket 132, and the second bracket 132 is connected to the core 1021.

[0196] For example, the detection electrode 151 may be entirely located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14 along the circumferential direction, or a portion of the detection electrode 151 may be located on one outer side of the lifting rib 14 along the circumferential direction, and another portion may be located on the top side of the lifting rib 14 along the radial direction away from the peripheral sidewall of the clothing processing cylinder 10.

[0197] The specific structure of the detection electrode 151 is not limited.

[0198] For example, please refer to Figures 18 to 21 The detection electrode 151 includes a first electrode and a second electrode, both located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14. The first electrode includes a first connecting structure 1511 and at least two first teeth 1512 connected to the first connecting structure 1511. The second electrode includes a second connecting structure 1513 and at least two second teeth 1514 connected to the second connecting structure 1513. The first teeth 1512 and the second teeth 1514 are arranged alternately. That is, there is one second tooth 1514 between any two adjacent first teeth 1512, and the distance between the first teeth 1512 and the second teeth 1514 is greater than zero.

[0199] In this embodiment, the first tooth 1512 and the second tooth 1514 are arranged alternately to form an interdigitated structure. One first tooth 1512 and one second tooth 1514 constitute an electrode pair. The detection electrode 151 has at least two electrode pairs. The clothing contacts at least two electrode pairs. The conduction between each electrode pair can be regarded as a resistor. At least two electrode pairs can be regarded as at least two resistors in parallel, thereby making the detection of changes in conductivity more sensitive, improving the detection accuracy and sensitivity of the detection electrode 151, reducing problems such as incomplete drying or over-drying to a certain extent, and improving drying performance.

[0200] The specific structural form of the first tooth 1512 is not limited; it can be plate-shaped or columnar, etc. The specific structural form of the second tooth 1514 is not limited; it can be plate-shaped or columnar, etc. Among them, the cross-sectional shape of the columnar shape is not limited; it can be circular or polygonal, etc. Polygons include quadrilaterals, pentagons, etc. It can be understood that polygons can include rounded polygons.

[0201] For some examples, please refer to Figure 19 The first connecting structure 1511 and the second connecting structure 1513 both extend linearly in parallel, and all the first teeth 1512 and all the second teeth 1514 are located between the first connecting structure 1511 and the second connecting structure 1513. That is to say, the first connecting structure 1511 and the second connecting structure 1513 can be roughly in the form of a straight line or a curved structure.

[0202] For example, the shape of the first tooth 1512 is approximately the same as that of the second tooth 1514, the first tooth 1512 is approximately parallel to the second tooth 1514, and the first connecting structure 1511 and the second connecting structure 1513 are both straight lines and approximately parallel.

[0203] In this embodiment, the first electrode and the second electrode have a simple and compact structure and a neat and beautiful appearance.

[0204] For some examples, please refer to Figure 21 The first electrode and the second electrode are roughly in the same plane. Thus, the first electrode and the second electrode are roughly flat, occupying less space and saving space inside the clothing processing tube 10.

[0205] Both the first electrode and the second electrode are made of conductive materials; for example, both the first electrode and the second electrode are made of metal.

[0206] For some examples, please refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19A portion of the first tooth 1512 protrudes away from the lifting rib 14 to form a first protrusion 1512a. The first protrusion 1512a not only enhances the structural strength of the first tooth 1512 but also facilitates contact with clothing, increasing the contact area. The first protrusion 1512a may be convex-arc shaped. The surface of the first protrusion 1512a away from the lifting rib 14 is arc-shaped.

[0207] For some examples, please refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 A portion of the second tooth 1514 protrudes away from the lifting rib 14 to form a second protrusion 1514a. The second protrusion 1514a not only enhances the structural strength of the second tooth 1514 but also facilitates contact with clothing, increasing the contact area. The second protrusion 1514a may be convex-arc shaped. The surface of the second protrusion 1514a away from the lifting rib 14 is arc-shaped.

[0208] In some examples, the surface of the first tooth 1512 away from the lifting rib 14 is curved. The surface of the first tooth 1512 away from the lifting rib 14 needs to come into contact with the clothing, and the curved surface can, to some extent, prevent the clothing from getting caught and reduce mutual wear between the clothing and the first tooth 1512.

[0209] In some examples, the surface of the second tooth 1514 away from the lifting rib 14 is curved. The surface of the second tooth 1514 away from the lifting rib 14 needs to come into contact with the clothing, and the curved surface can, to some extent, prevent the clothing from getting caught and reduce mutual wear between the clothing and the second tooth 1514.

[0210] For some examples, please refer to Figure 20 The detection electrode 151 includes a first terminal 1515 and a second terminal 1516. The first terminal 1515 is connected to the first electrode component, and the second terminal 1516 is connected to the second electrode component. Both the first terminal 1515 and the second terminal 1516 extend into the lifting rib 14 and are electrically connected to the detection circuit.

[0211] For example, the first terminal 1515 is connected to one of the first teeth 1512, and the second terminal 1516 is connected to one of the second teeth 1514.

[0212] In this embodiment, the first terminal 1515 and the second terminal 1516 are connected to the detection circuit to transmit electrical signals between the detection circuit and the detection electrode 151. The first terminal 1515, the second terminal 1516, and the detection circuit are all located within the lifting rib 14, reducing the probability of the first terminal 1515, the second terminal 1516, and the detection circuit coming into contact with clothing and improving safety.

[0213] In some embodiments, the first electrode element can be a one-piece molded structure. That is, the first connecting structure 1511 and the first tooth 1512, etc., can be manufactured as a single piece.

[0214] In some embodiments, the first electrode and the first terminal 1515 can be integrally formed.

[0215] In some embodiments, the second electrode can be a one-piece molded structure. That is, the second connecting structure 1513 and the second tooth 1514, etc., can be manufactured as a single piece.

[0216] In some embodiments, the second electrode and the second terminal 1516 can be an integrally formed structure.

[0217] The specific construction of the lifting rib 14 is not limited; please refer to some examples. Figure 16 and Figure 17 The lifting rib 14 includes a main body 141 and an extension 142. The main body 141 is disposed on the circumferential surface of the garment processing cavity 10a, and the extension 142 is connected to the rear end of the main body 141 and disposed on the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 10a. The space within the main body 141 and the space within the extension 142 define a connecting channel 14a. Without increasing the radial dimension of the lifting rib 14, the extension 142 being disposed on the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 10a can increase the volume of the connecting channel 14a, thereby accommodating the receiving circuit board 133, the detection circuit of the detection unit 15, etc.; the extension 142 can cover a portion of the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 10a to shield the holes for wire passage provided on the rear sidewall of the garment processing cylinder 10.

[0218] For some examples, please refer to Figure 17 The extension 142 has a rearward opening 142a, and the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 10a can cover the rearward opening 142a of the extension 142.

[0219] In some examples, the extension 142 may extend toward the rotation axis of the garment processing drum 10, and the apex of the extension 142 protrudes beyond the apex of the main body 141 in the radial direction of the garment processing drum 10. That is, the outer contours of both the main body 141 and the extension 142 are approximately L-shaped.

[0220] In some examples, the rearward surface of the extension 142 is fitted to the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 10a. This reduces the gap between the extension 142 and the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 10a, preventing lint and debris from entering the communicating channel 14a through the gap.

[0221] For some examples, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 15The garment processing equipment 1 also includes a rear cover 17. The rear sidewall of the rear plate 111 forms a return air inlet and an air supply inlet connected to the air inlet. The height of the return air inlet is lower than the height of the air supply inlet. The two ends of the drying tunnel are connected to the air outlet and the return air inlet, respectively. The rear cover 17 covers the air supply inlet and the return air inlet, and together with the rear sidewall of the rear plate 111, defines the air supply channel. The drying tunnel and the air supply channel together form a circulating air duct. The drying tunnel is located upstream of the air supply channel along the airflow direction in the circulating air duct, and the airflow flows sequentially through the air outlet, the drying tunnel, the return air inlet, the air supply channel, the air supply inlet, and the air inlet.

[0222] There is no limit to the number of air outlets; there can be one or more air outlets, for example, two, three, four, or five air outlets.

[0223] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 1 further includes a heat exchange component located within the drying tunnel. The heat exchange component is used to exchange heat with the airflow within the drying tunnel, thereby dehumidifying and heating. The humid and hot airflow within the garment processing cylinder 10 can enter the drying tunnel through the air outlet and exchange heat with the heat exchange component, transforming into dry and hot airflow. The dry and hot airflow enters the air supply channel through the return air inlet and then flows back into the garment processing chamber 10a through the air supply outlet and air inlet.

[0224] In some embodiments, the heat exchange assembly includes a condenser and an evaporator. The clothing processing device 1 also includes a compressor and a throttling device. The compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator are connected by pipes to form a heat pump system, and the refrigerant can circulate within the heat pump system. The airflow in the circulating duct exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator and condenser to form a dry hot airflow. The evaporator is used to cool and dehumidify the humid hot airflow from the clothing processing chamber 10a into a dry cold airflow; the condenser heats the dry cold airflow into a dry hot airflow and returns it to the clothing processing chamber 10a.

[0225] The working principle of a heat pump system is as follows: The compressor draws in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and compresses it into high-pressure gaseous state before discharging it. The discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, where it transfers heat to the airflow, causing it to condense into a high-pressure liquid. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant is then throttled and depressurized by a throttling device, becoming a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture that enters the evaporator. The refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the airflow, becoming a low-pressure gaseous state, which is then drawn back into the compressor. This cycle repeats, achieving heat exchange. In other words, the evaporator cools and dehumidifies the humid airflow from the clothing processing chamber 10a, forming a dry, cool airflow. The condenser heats the dry, cool airflow into a dry, hot airflow, which then flows back into the clothing processing chamber 10a. The dry, hot airflow returning to the clothing processing chamber 10a comes into contact with the damp clothing, forming a humid, hot airflow again, completing one drying cycle. By repeatedly running the drying cycle, circulating airflow is continuously supplied to the clothing processing chamber 10a to dry the clothes.

[0226] For example, both the evaporator and the condenser can be finned tube heat exchangers.

[0227] For example, throttling devices include, but are not limited to, electronic expansion valves.

[0228] In some examples, the garment handling apparatus 1 also includes an impeller for driving airflow. Exemplarily, the impeller is located within the drying duct and between the heat exchange components and the return air vent. During the drying process, the impeller drives the airflow passing through the garments sequentially through the evaporator and condenser before being blown back onto the garments to create a circulating airflow. The impeller can accelerate airflow and improve drying efficiency.
