Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and in particular to a clothing processing device and its lint filtering apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of residents' living standards, existing washing machines not only need to meet the needs of washing, but also the need for drying clothes after washing. Washer-dryer combos have emerged to meet this need. The working principle of a washer-dryer combo is roughly as follows: air is heated by a heater and then enters the drum to heat the clothes. The air inside the drum becomes hot and humid, and then the moisture is condensed into water and collected in a water tank through a condensation system, forming a circulation that continuously removes moisture from the clothes to achieve the purpose of drying them. The heater can be, for example, an electric heater or the condenser of a heat pump system.

[0003] However, during the air circulation process, the air will carry lint that has fallen off the clothes due to wear and tear. If this lint continues to circulate in the machine for a long time, it may block the drying air duct and may also adhere to the clothes being dried, affecting the drying effect.

[0004] To prevent lint from clogging the drying air duct, a lint filter is usually installed in the drying air duct to remove lint from the drying air. The lint filter is then cleaned to prevent it from becoming ineffective.

[0005] In related technologies, lint filters are removable and installed in the drying duct for easy cleaning by the user. However, cleaning the filter requires removing it from the drying duct, manually disassembling the filter screen to remove the lint, and then putting it back. This process involves numerous steps and involves user contact with lint, which is inconvenient and unhygienic, negatively impacting the user experience.

[0006] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome at least some of the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a lint filtering device for clothing processing equipment. By setting the filter element to a structure that extends along the push-pull direction, and by using a lint scraping component to scrape the lint on the filter element as the filter drawer is pulled out of the filter box, the user is spared from manually disassembling and cleaning the lint on the filter element, thereby improving the user experience and product competitiveness.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a lint filtering device for clothing processing equipment, comprising:

[0009] The filter box has an air inlet and an air outlet;

[0010] A filter drawer, slidably installed within the filter box and located in the airflow path from the air inlet to the air outlet, is provided with a filter element extending in the sliding direction; and

[0011] A lint scraping assembly is located inside the filter drawer and abuts against the filter element. As the filter drawer is pulled out of the filter box, the scraping part scrapes off the lint on the filter element.

[0012] In some embodiments, the lint removal assembly includes a connecting portion and a scraping portion connected to the connecting portion, the connecting portion being pivotally connected to the filter box in a limited manner;

[0013] When the filter drawer is detached from the filter box, the scraping part rotates to the top wall of the filter box under the action of the filter drawer and is limited and connected thereto.

[0014] When the filter drawer is pushed into the filter box, the scraping part is reset by the action of the filter drawer.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first and / or second sidewalls of the filter drawer are provided with guide portions protruding from the sidewalls, and the guide portions have a first preset angle with the push-pull direction;

[0016] When the filter drawer is disengaged from the filter box, the scraping part rotates to the top wall of the filter box under the stop action of the guide part.

[0017] In some embodiments, the guide portion is a guide rib or a wedge-shaped guide block.

[0018] In some embodiments, the filter box is provided with a shaft hole, and the connecting part includes a rotating shaft that is elastically and tightly fitted with the shaft hole, so that the connecting part and the filter box are pivotally connected in a limited manner.

[0021] In some embodiments, a first locking part is provided on the top wall of the filter box, and a second locking part is provided on the scraping part;

[0022] The first locking part and the second locking part are elastically and tightly fitted together so that the scraping part is limited and connected to the top wall of the filter box.

[0023] In some embodiments, the lint removal assembly further includes a mating part connected to the connecting part and having a second preset angle with the scraping part, such that when the scraping part rotates to the top wall of the filter box under the action of the filter drawer, the mating part rotates to a position that interferes with the filter drawer's advancement into the filter box, and when the filter drawer is advanced into the filter box, the filter drawer pushes the mating part to overcome the limiting effect of the filter box on the scraping part, causing the scraping part to reset.

[0024] In some embodiments, the filter drawer is an open structure, and a first seal is provided between the first sidewall and the second sidewall and the top wall of the filter box; and / or

[0025] A second seal is provided between the connecting part and the top wall of the filter box.

[0026] The present invention also provides a garment processing device, including a lint filter according to the garment processing device described above.

[0040] It should be noted that these accompanying drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0042] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0043] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] As described in the background section, in related technologies, when cleaning the lint filter, the user needs to remove the filter from the drying duct, manually disassemble the filter screen and clean the lint, and then put it back. Because this process requires too many steps and involves contact with lint, it is very inconvenient and unhygienic for the user, negatively impacting the user experience.

[0045] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a lint filtering device for clothing processing equipment, comprising a filter box, a filter drawer, and a lint scraping assembly. The filter box has an air inlet and an air outlet; the filter drawer is slidably installed inside the filter box and located in the air path between the air inlet and the air outlet, and a filter element extending along the sliding direction is provided on the filter drawer; the lint scraping assembly is located inside the filter drawer and abuts against the filter element, and the scraping part is used to scrape off lint from the filter element during the process of the filter drawer being pulled out of the filter box. In the above solution, by setting the filter element to a structure extending along the sliding direction, and utilizing the lint scraping assembly to scrape off the lint from the filter element during the process of the filter drawer being pulled out of the filter box, the user is spared the need to manually disassemble and clean the lint from the filter element, thereby improving the user experience and product competitiveness.

[0046] The preferred technical solution of the clothing processing equipment and lint filtering device of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a partially exploded structural diagram of a lint filter device 100 of a garment processing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figures 2 to 4 These are schematic diagrams of the scraping section 132 in the first state, the second state, and the third state according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] The garment processing equipment includes a housing, a drum assembly disposed within the housing, and a drying device disposed above the drum assembly. The drying device includes a lint filter 100 and a heater, which are respectively connected to the internal space of the drum assembly.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the lint filter device 100 includes a filter box 110 and a filter drawer 120. The filter box 110 has a push-pull opening 111, an air inlet, and an air outlet. The filter drawer 120 can be pulled out or pushed in relative to the filter box 110 through the push-pull opening 111 and is located in the air path from the air inlet to the air outlet. As an example, the inner wall of the filter box 110 is provided with a groove or slide rail extending in the push-pull direction, and the outer wall of the filter drawer 120 is correspondingly provided with a slide rail or slide groove extending in the push-pull direction. The cooperation of the slide rail and slide groove enables the filter drawer 120 to be pulled out of the filter box 110 through the push-pull opening 111 or pushed into the filter box 110 through the push-pull opening 111.

[0050] In some embodiments, an end plate 121 is provided on the front side of the filter drawer 120, and a handle is connected to the end plate 121. The filter drawer 120 is pushed into the filter box 110 through the push-pull port 111 using the handle, or the filter drawer 120 is pulled out of the filter box 110 through the push-pull port 111.

[0051] In addition, a limiting structure is provided between the filter drawer 120 and the filter box 110 to prevent the filter drawer 120 from slipping out of the filter box 110 under vibration or airflow. As an example, the filter box 110 is provided with a compressible and resilient limiting post, and the filter drawer 120 is correspondingly provided with a slot. When the filter drawer 120 needs to be pulled out, the limiting post rebounds under force, disengaging from the slot, and the limiting is released. When the filter drawer 120 is pushed back, the limiting post pops out and engages with the slot on the filter drawer 120, thus limiting the filter drawer 120.

[0052] The filter drawer 120 is provided with a filter element 122 extending in the push-pull direction to filter out lint carried in the air flowing through the filter drawer 120. As an example, the filter element 122 may be provided on a first side wall 123 and / or a second side wall 124 and / or a bottom wall extending in the push-pull direction. Air flowing out from inside the drum assembly enters the filter box 110 through the air inlet, is filtered by the filter drawer 120, and then flows to the heater device through the air outlet. The air is heated by the heater device and used to dry the clothes inside the drum assembly.

[0053] Optionally, the filter element 122 can be a filter screen or filter cotton, etc. It should be noted that the filtration mesh size of the filter screen or filter cotton can be set as needed, and this invention does not impose any limitations on it.

[0054] In some embodiments, the filter drawer 120 is an open structure with a rear opening 125. Air entering the filter box 110 enters the interior of the filter drawer 120 through the rear opening 125, and after being filtered by the filter elements 122 provided on the first side wall 123 and / or the second side wall 124 and / or the bottom wall to remove lint, it returns to the filter box 110 and flows to the heater device through the air outlet.

[0055] Refer again Figure 1 The lint filter device 100 also includes a lint scraping assembly 130, which includes a connecting portion 131 and a scraping portion 132 connected to the connecting portion 131. The connecting portion 131 is connected to the filter box 110. In the working state, the scraping portion 132 is located inside the filter drawer 120 and abuts against the filter element 122. When it is necessary to clean the lint attached to the filter element 122, the user pulls the filter drawer 120 out of the filter box 110. During the pulling process, the scraping portion 132 remains in a roughly stationary state, while the filter element 122 moves relative to the scraping portion 132. In this way, the scraping portion 132 can scrape off the lint on the filter element 122. Then, the filter drawer 120 is removed from the filter box 110 and the lint is emptied.

[0056] In some embodiments, a first seal 113 is provided between the first sidewall 123 and the second sidewall 124 and the top wall of the filter box 110; and / or, a second seal 127 is provided between the connecting portion 131 and the top wall of the filter box 110, to prevent unfiltered air from flowing to the heater device through the gaps between the first sidewall 123 and the second sidewall 124 and the top wall of the filter box 110 and / or the gaps between the connecting portion 131 and the top wall of the filter box 110, thereby improving the clothes drying effect. The first seal 113 and the second seal 127 can be made of materials commonly used in the art, such as rubber gaskets and silicone gaskets.

[0057] It should be noted that the filter drawer 120 has a lint buffer area to buffer lint and particles scraped off from the filter element 122, preventing these lint and particles from falling into the filter box 110 when the filter drawer 120 is removed.

[0058] As an example, a portion of the length of the filter element 122 can be left uninstalled at the rear end of the first side wall 123 and / or the second side wall 124 of the filter drawer 120, and this reserved portion can form the aforementioned lint buffer area.

[0059] In the above solution, the airflow from the cylinder assembly is filtered by the push-pull filter drawer 120, which can effectively capture and collect lint during the washing and drying process, maintaining the filtration effect and drying efficiency. Moreover, the scraping part 132 scrapes off the lint on the filter element 122 as the filter drawer 120 is pulled out of the filter box 110, avoiding the need for users to manually disassemble and clean the lint on the filter element 122, thus improving the user experience and product competitiveness.

[0060] In some embodiments, the connecting part 131 is pivotally connected to the filter box 110 in a limited manner. For example, the filter box 110 has shaft holes on both side walls, and the connecting part 131 includes a rotating shaft with both ends inserted into the shaft holes, forming an elastic tight fit. That is, the elastic clamping force between the shaft hole and the rotating shaft can overcome the friction between the scraping part 132 and the filter element 122 during the process of the filter drawer 120 being pulled out of the filter box 110, keeping the scraping part 132 in a substantially stationary state. When the filter drawer 120 disengages from the filter box 110, the scraping part 132 overcomes the elastic clamping force between the shaft hole and the rotating shaft under the action of the filter drawer 120, thereby rotating to the top wall of the filter box 110 and being limitedly connected to the top wall of the filter box 110. When the filter drawer 120 is pushed into the filter box 110, the scraping part 132 overcomes the elastic clamping force between the shaft hole and the rotating shaft under the action of the filter drawer 120 and returns to its initial position.

[0061] Specifically, the lint removal assembly 130 is configured to have a first state, a second state, and a third state. Wherein, as... Figure 2 As shown, in the first state, during the process of the filter drawer 120 being pulled out of the filter box 110, the scraping part 132 remains basically stationary in its initial position, while the filter element 122 moves outward relative to the scraping part 132 so that the scraping part 132 can scrape off the lint on the filter element 122. Figure 3 As shown, in the second state, when the filter drawer 120 is disengaged from the filter box 110, the scraping part 132 rotates under the action of the filter drawer 120 to the top wall of the filter box 110 and is locked in place there. Figure 4 As shown, in the third state, when the filter drawer 120 is pushed into the filter box 110, the scraping part 132 is released from its limit against the top wall of the filter box 110 under the action of the filter drawer 120 and returns to its initial position.

[0062] In the above solution, the lint cleaning is completed simultaneously when the filter drawer 120 is pulled out, and the scraping part 132 is reset simultaneously when the filter drawer 120 is pushed back. This greatly simplifies the user's operation steps for cleaning lint.

[0063] It should be noted that the initial position of the scraping part 132 is located inside the filter drawer 120 near the front end. Optionally, the scraping part 132 includes a main body and a flexible part. The main body is fixedly connected to the connecting part 131, and the flexible part is disposed on both sides and / or the bottom side of the main body and abuts against the surface of the filter element 122. The flexible part is made of elastic materials such as silicone or silicone rubber to prevent damage to the filter element 122 during sliding. The main body is made of rigid plastic, and the flexible part is connected to the main body by means of adhesion, snap-fit, or other methods.

[0064] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first sidewall 123 and / or the second sidewall 124 are provided with guide portions 126 protruding from the sidewalls. The wall surface of the guide portion 126 that abuts against the scraping portion 132 has a first preset angle with the pushing and pulling direction. When the filter drawer 120 is disengaged from the filter box 110, the scraping portion 132 rotates to the top wall of the filter box 110 under the stop action of the guide portion 126 and is limited and connected thereto.

[0065] Specifically, after the filter drawer 120 is pulled out a certain distance, the scraping part 132 first abuts against the lower part of the guide part 126. When the filter drawer 120 is pulled out further, the guide part 126 provided on the side wall of the filter drawer 120 applies a force to the scraping part 132 in the direction of pulling out, causing the scraping part 132 to rotate. When the filter drawer 120 is pulled out and disengaged from the filter box 110, the scraping part 132 rotates to a position that is basically flush with the top wall of the filter box 110 and is limited to the top wall of the filter box 110 to prevent the scraping part 132 from interfering with the push-back action of the filter drawer 120.

[0066] As an example, the guide portion 126 can be provided on the reserved portion of the first sidewall 123 and / or the second sidewall 124 described above where the filter element 122 is not provided. The wall surface of the guide portion 126 that abuts against the scraping portion 132 is inclined from bottom to top and rearward to form the aforementioned first preset angle, which is approximately 40° to 60°. Optionally, the guide portion 126 is a guide rib or a wedge-shaped guide block. In other words, the extension length of the guide rib or the extension length of the wedge-shaped guide block that abuts against the scraping portion 132 from bottom to top and rearward determines the size of the first preset angle. Therefore, the first preset angle can be set according to the size of the reserved portion on the first sidewall 123 and / or the second sidewall 124.

[0067] In some implementations, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the lint scraping assembly 130 further includes a mating part 133, which is connected to the connecting part 131 and has a second preset angle with the scraping part 132. This allows the scraping part 132 to rotate to the top wall of the filter box 110 under the action of the filter drawer 120, at which point the mating part 133 rotates to a position that interferes with the filter drawer 120's insertion into the filter box 110. Furthermore, when the filter drawer 120 is inserted into the filter box 110, the filter drawer 120 pushes the mating part 133 to overcome the limiting effect of the filter box 110 on the scraping part 132, causing the scraping part 132 to reset.

[0068] As an example, the second preset angle is approximately 90°. The mating part 133 can be a rod-shaped or plate-shaped structure, which is fixedly connected to the connecting part 131, meaning that the mating part 133 and the connecting part 131 do not rotate relative to each other. When the scraping part 132 rotates to the top wall of the filter box 110 under the action of the filter drawer 120, the mating part 133 rotates accordingly to the position in the filter box 110 for installing the filter drawer 120. Then, when the filter drawer 120 is pushed into the filter box 110 a certain distance, the rear side of the filter drawer 120 abuts against the mating part 133. When the filter drawer 120 is pushed further in, the mating part 133 overcomes the limiting effect of the filter box 110 on the scraping part 132 under the pushing action of the filter drawer 120, and the scraping part 132 returns to its original position under the pushing action of the filter drawer 120.

[0069] The following describes in detail two embodiments of the filter box 110 and the scraping part 132 provided by the present invention in a limiting connection.

[0070] Method 1

[0071] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, a first suction part 112 is provided on the top wall of the filter box 110, and a second suction part 134 is provided on the scraping part 132; the second suction part 134 is suction-connected to the first suction part 112 so that the scraping part 132 is limitedly connected to the top wall of the filter box 110.

[0072] As an example, the first suction part 112 and the second suction part 134 are magnets. When the filter drawer 120 is pulled out and detached from the filter box 110, the scraping part 132 rotates to a position that is basically flush with the top wall of the filter box 110, and the second suction part 134 is attracted and connected to the first suction part 112.

[0073] It should be noted that the first suction part 112 and the second suction part 134 should meet the following conditions: Under no external force, the suction force between the first suction part 112 and the second suction part 134 can overcome the weight of the scraping part 132; during the process of pushing the filter drawer 120 back, the pushing force of the filter drawer 120 on the mating part 133 can overcome the suction force between the first suction part 112 and the second suction part 134, referring to... Figure 4 As shown. The shape, size, and other parameters of the first suction part 112 and the second suction part 134 can be set according to actual conditions, and the present invention does not impose any restrictions here.

[0074] Method 2

[0075] In this embodiment, a first locking part is provided on the top wall of the filter box 110, and a second locking part is provided on the scraping part 132; the first locking part and the second locking part are elastically and tightly fitted to limit the connection between the scraping part 132 and the top wall of the filter box 110.

[0076] As an example, the first locking part is a locking groove or a locking protrusion, and the second locking part is correspondingly a locking protrusion or a locking groove. When the filter drawer 120 is pulled out and disengaged from the filter box 110, the scraping part 132 rotates to a position substantially flush with the top wall of the filter box 110, and the locking protrusion is inserted into the locking groove for an interference fit connection.

[0077] It should be noted that the first locking part and the second locking part should meet the following conditions: under no external force, the locking force between the first locking part and the second locking part can overcome the gravity of the scraping part 132; during the process of pushing the filter drawer 120 back, the pushing force of the filter drawer 120 on the mating part 133 can overcome the locking force between the first locking part and the second locking part. The shape, size and other parameters of the first locking part and the second locking part can be set according to the actual situation, and the present invention does not impose any restrictions.

[0078] The above-described solution of the present invention can achieve automatic cleaning of wire debris without the need for power control, without increasing the cost of wiring layout and corresponding equipment purchase.

[0079] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
