[0038] Based on the background technology, the arrangement of the heat pump system of the double-cylinder and multi-cylinder washing machine in the prior art is difficult and affects the drying efficiency. The heat pump system is arranged above the first cylinder at the top, so that the heat pump system can be correspondingly set to a larger volume, which can fully heat and dry the wet air, improve the drying efficiency, and release the space behind the first cylinder, facilitate the arrangement of the components related to the heat pump system, and provide more space for the depth value setting of the first cylinder. In addition, the heat pump system is arranged at the top, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the heat pump system.
[0039] Firstly, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a schematic view of the overall structure of the clothes processing equipment of the present application, Figure 2 is a schematic view of the structure of the clothes processing equipment of the present application from another angle. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the clothes processing equipment of the present application comprises a cylinder assembly 1 and a drying assembly 2, the cylinder assembly 1 comprises a first cylinder 11, a second cylinder 12, a third cylinder 13 and a fourth cylinder 14, the first cylinder 11 and the fourth cylinder 14 are arranged transversely, the second cylinder 12 is arranged directly below the middle of the first cylinder 11 and the fourth cylinder 14, and the third cylinder 13 is arranged below the second cylinder 12, the volume of each cylinder satisfies the condition that the first cylinder 11 = the fourth cylinder 14 < the second cylinder 12 ≤ the third cylinder 13; the drying assembly 2 is used to provide hot air for the cylinder assembly 1.
[0040] The drying assembly 2 comprises a heat pump system, an air exchange pipeline 21, an air supply pipeline 22, an air return pipeline 23, and a first air return switching structure 24. The heat pump system is used to heat the air in the air exchange pipeline 21. The heat pump system and the air exchange pipeline 21 are arranged above the first drum 11 and the fourth drum 14. The air supply pipeline 22 is in communication with the air exchange pipeline 21, the second drum 12, and the third drum 13, respectively, and is used to guide the air in the air exchange pipeline 21 into the second drum 12 and the third drum 13. The air return pipeline 23 comprises a first pipeline 231, a second pipeline 232, and a third pipeline 233. The first pipeline 231 is in communication with the air exchange pipeline 21. The second pipeline 232 is in communication with the second drum 12. The third pipeline 233 is in communication with the third drum 13. The air return pipeline 23 is arranged behind the first drum 11, fully utilizes the space behind the first drum 11, avoids increasing the size of the clothes treatment device, and facilitates the arrangement of the air return pipeline 23. After the air in the air exchange pipeline 21 is heated by the heat pump system, the air enters the second drum 12 and the third drum 13 through the air supply pipeline 22. The humid air in the second drum 12 and the third drum 13 returns to the air exchange pipeline 21 through the air return pipeline 23 for heating and drying, thereby realizing the drying of the clothes in the drum assembly 1. The first air return switching structure 24 is connected with the first pipeline 231, the second pipeline 232, and the third pipeline 233, respectively. The first air return switching structure 24 is used to control the on-off of the first pipeline 231 and the second pipeline 232 and / or the third pipeline 233. When the first pipeline 231 is in communication with the second pipeline 232 and the first pipeline 231 is disconnected with the third pipeline 233, only the air in the second drum 12 can return to the air exchange pipeline 21, thereby realizing the drying of only the second drum 12. When the first pipeline 231 is in communication with the third pipeline 233 and the first pipeline 231 is disconnected with the second pipeline 232, only the air in the third drum 13 can return to the air exchange pipeline 21, thereby realizing the drying of only the third drum 13. When the first pipeline 231 is in communication with the second pipeline 232 and the third pipeline 233, the air in the second drum 12 and the third drum 13 can both return to the air exchange pipeline 21, thereby realizing the drying of the second drum 12 and the third drum 13. The first air return switching structure 24 is arranged behind the first drum 11, fully utilizes the space behind the first drum 11, avoids increasing the size of the clothes treatment device, and facilitates the arrangement of the first air return switching structure 24.
[0041] By arranging the heat pump system above the first drum 11 at the top, the heat pump system can be correspondingly arranged in a larger size, thereby sufficiently heating and drying the humid air, improving the drying efficiency, and releasing the space behind the first drum 11, facilitating the arrangement of the components related to the heat pump system. In addition, the arrangement of the heat pump system at the top facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the heat pump system.
[0042] It should be noted that clothing handling equipment can include washing machines, washer-dryer combos, dryers, etc., without specific limitations; furthermore, "horizontal" refers to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The left and right directions shown refer to the left and right directions of the garment processing equipment, while the front and back directions are... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The front-to-back direction shown is also the front-to-back direction of the garment processing equipment.
[0043] Specifically, the heat pump system includes refrigerant piping, and a compressor, evaporator, expansion valve, and condenser sequentially arranged on the refrigerant piping. The filter, evaporator, condenser, and fan are sequentially arranged in the air exchange duct 21 from the return air inlet to the supply air outlet. The evaporator is used to condense water in the humid air, and the condenser is used to heat the air. Since the drying effect is better when the evaporator and condenser are larger, the heat pump system is placed at the top, which provides ample space for the evaporator and condenser and facilitates the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the heat pump system. In addition, the filter can be easily removed when it needs to be cleaned.
[0044] Those skilled in the art will understand that, although the above combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The description indicates that the cylindrical assembly 1 includes a first cylinder 11, a second cylinder 12, a third cylinder 13, and a fourth cylinder 14. However, this is not a limitation; the cylindrical assembly 1 may also include only the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12, with the first cylinder 11 positioned above the second cylinder 12. The depth of the first cylinder 11 may be less than the depth of the second cylinder 12 to provide more space for the installation of related components. The depth of the fourth cylinder 14 may be the same as or different from that of the first cylinder 11. Those skilled in the art can adjust these dimensions as needed, without departing from the principles of the invention, and all such adjustments fall within the scope of protection of the invention.
[0045] Possibly, the air supply duct 22 is located on the right side of the cylinder assembly 1 and is connected to the front of the second cylinder 12 and the third cylinder 13. The return air duct 23 is located to the left rear of the first cylinder 11. The second duct 232 is connected to the rear of the second cylinder 12, and the third duct 233 is connected to the rear of the third cylinder 13. This increases the contact time of hot air in the second cylinder 12 and the third cylinder 13, improves the drying effect, and also facilitates the arrangement of the air supply duct 22 and the return air duct 23.
[0046] See below. Figures 3-5 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the first return air switching structure of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of one usage state of the first return air switching structure of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another usage state of the first return air switching structure of the present invention. For example... Figures 3-5As shown, the first return air switching structure 24 includes a spherical valve body 241 and a sealing box 242. The spherical valve body 241 is provided with a first valve port 2411, a second valve port 2412, and a third valve port 2413 that are interconnected. The spherical valve body 241 is configured to rotate along a rotation axis. The first valve port 2411, the second valve port 2412, and the third valve port 2413 are located on a first cross-section of the spherical valve body 241, which is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the spherical valve body 241. The first valve port 2411 and the second valve port 2412 are located at both ends of a first diameter of the first cross-section, and the third valve port 2413 is located on a second diameter of the first cross-section, which is perpendicular to the first diameter. The spherical valve body 241 is also provided with a sealing part 241. 4. The sealing part 2414 is not connected to the first valve port 2411, the second valve port 2412, and the third valve port 2413. Through the arrangement of the positions of the first valve port 2411, the second valve port 2412, the third valve port 2413, and the sealing part 2414, the ball valve body 241 can switch to a different connection state every 90° rotation. The ball valve body 241 is located in the sealing box 242. The first pipeline 231, the second pipeline 232, and the third pipeline 233 are all connected to the sealing box 242. The sealing box 242 is used to improve the sealing between the first pipeline 231, the second pipeline 232, and the third pipeline 233 and the first return air switching structure 24, and at the same time avoid air leakage during the rotation of the ball valve.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, when the second cylinder 12 and the third cylinder 13 need to be dried, the ball valve body 241 is controlled to rotate so that the first valve port 2411 is connected to the first pipeline 231, the second valve port 2412 is connected to the second pipeline 232, and the third valve port 2413 is connected to the third pipeline 233, thereby connecting the first pipeline 231 with the second pipeline 232 and the third pipeline 233; Figure 5 As shown, when only the second cylinder 12 needs to be dried, the ball valve body 241 is rotated until the second valve port 2412 is connected to the first pipeline 231, the first valve port 2411 is connected to the second pipeline 232, and the sealing part 2414 is connected to the third pipeline 233, so that the first pipeline 231 is connected to the second pipeline 232 and disconnected from the third pipeline 233; as shown Figure 4 As shown, when only the third cylinder 13 needs to be dried, the ball valve body 241 is controlled to rotate until the third valve port 2413 is connected to the first pipeline 231, the second valve port 2412 is connected to the third pipeline 233, and the sealing part 2414 is connected to the second pipeline 232, so that the first pipeline 231 is connected to the third pipeline 233 and the first pipeline 231 is disconnected from the second pipeline 232.
[0048] Possibly, a seal or sealing oil is provided between the spherical valve body 241 and the sealing box 242 to improve the sealing effect. The first return air switching structure 24 also includes a motor, which is connected to a rotating shaft. The motor drives the spherical valve body 241 to rotate through the rotating shaft. The motor is mounted on the outer wall of the sealing box 242.
[0049] Those skilled in the art will understand that, although the above combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The described supply air duct 22 is connected to the second cylinder 12 and the third cylinder 13 respectively. The return air duct 23 includes a second duct 232 and a third duct 233. The second duct 232 is connected to the second cylinder 12, and the third duct 233 is connected to the third cylinder 13. However, this is not a limitation; the supply air duct 22 can also be connected to the first cylinder 11 and the fourth cylinder 14 respectively, and the return air duct 23 can also include a fourth duct and a fifth duct. The fourth duct is connected to the first cylinder 11, and the fifth duct is connected to the fourth cylinder 14, thereby enabling the return air to the first cylinder. For the drying of cylinders 11 and 14, a second return air switching structure is provided on the second pipeline 232, and the fourth pipeline is connected to the second return air switching structure. The second return air switching structure is used to control the on / off state of the second pipeline 232 and the connection between the second pipeline 232 and the fourth pipeline. A third return air switching structure is provided on the fourth pipeline, and the fifth pipeline is connected to the third return air switching structure. The third return air switching structure is used to control the on / off state of the fourth pipeline and the connection between the fourth pipeline and the fifth pipeline, thereby realizing the control of whether each cylinder is dried. It should be noted that the second and third return air switching structures can be similar to the first return air switching structure 24, or they can be other structures such as three-position three-way valves or four-position three-way valves. The first return air switching structure 24 can also be other structures such as three-position three-way valves or four-position three-way valves, as long as it can realize the control of the on / off state of different pipelines. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed, which do not deviate from the principle of the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0050] It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely used to illustrate the principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above embodiments so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.
