[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0054] The inventors discovered that when a garment processing device integrates multiple rollers, these rollers need to be stacked. Since most rollers have a circular outer circumference, stacking them is very difficult. Furthermore, the rollers are prone to vibration or wobbling during operation, placing higher demands on the support structure of the multiple rollers. Based on this, this application provides a garment processing device.
[0055] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a garment processing device according to an embodiment of this application. The garment processing device includes a first roller 10, at least one second roller 20, and a housing.
[0056] The first roller 10 has a first garment processing chamber 10a for accommodating garments, and the second roller 20 has a second garment processing chamber 20a for accommodating garments, enabling the garment processing equipment to process different types of garments separately by zone.
[0057] In this embodiment, hot air can be supplied to the first garment processing chamber 10a and the second garment processing chamber 20a respectively to dry the garments inside. The diameter of the second roller 20 is smaller than the diameter of the first roller 10. Correspondingly, the volume of the second garment processing chamber 20a is smaller than the volume of the first garment processing chamber 10a. The weight of the object that the first garment processing chamber 10a can hold is greater than the weight of the object that the second garment processing chamber 20a can hold. Therefore, when the first roller 10 is working, the amplitude of the vibration and the amplitude of the swaying generated by the first roller 10 are correspondingly greater, making it more difficult to support the first roller 10.
[0058] The housing includes an outer shell. The first roller 10 and the second roller 20 are both located within the space enclosed by the outer shell. The first roller 10 and the second roller 20 can be respectively mounted on the outer shell, which provides support for them. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the first roller 10 is located above the second roller 20. The housing includes a base 61, which supports the second roller 20. In this embodiment, the first roller 10 is placed at a higher position. The housing also includes a front support 621 and a front support member 622. The front support 621 is disposed on the base 61 and has a clearance space 621c that communicates with the second clothing processing chamber 20a. The front support member 622 is disposed on the front support 621 and has a main inlet 10b that communicates with the first clothing processing chamber 10a. Clothes can be placed into the first clothing processing chamber 10a through the main inlet 10b or taken out from the first clothing processing chamber 10a through the main inlet 10b.
[0059] This embodiment of the application establishes a clearance space 621c in the front support portion 621 that communicates with the second garment processing chamber 20a. This allows for the placement and removal of garments from the second roller 20 at the clearance space 621c, maintaining the integrity of the front support portion 621 structure without hindering garment handling. Furthermore, with the front support member 622 installed on the front support portion 621 and the front support portion 621 installed on the base 61, a stable support structure is formed to support the first roller 10. This provides excellent support for the first roller 10, which is positioned higher, allowing for orderly stacking of the first roller 10 and the second roller 20. Even when the first roller 10 is carrying a heavy load of garments, it maintains good installation stability. Additionally, the second roller 20 is installed on the base 61, which limits vibration and shaking during operation. Therefore, this application sets the first roller 10 at a higher position and the second roller 20 at a lower position, and provides corresponding structures to support both rollers, forming a robust support structure that effectively improves the operational stability of both rollers.
[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the front support member 622 has an air outlet channel 622a inside. The air outlet channel 622a of the front support member 622 is also connected to the first clothing processing chamber 10a of the first roller 10 to receive the humid and cold gas output from the first clothing processing chamber 10a. The garment processing equipment also includes a heat pump system, which includes a drying tunnel shell 31. The drying tunnel shell 31 and the second roller 20 are located vertically below the first roller 10. The drying tunnel shell 31 is mounted on the base 61 and has a heat exchange channel inside. At least a portion of the drying tunnel shell 623 is located in the clearance space 621c so that the drying tunnel shell 31 is positioned corresponding to the front support member 622. The heat exchange channel is connected to the first garment processing chamber 10a through the air outlet channel 622a so that the humid and cold gas output from the first garment processing chamber 10a enters the heat exchange channel through the air outlet channel 622a. The heat pump system is used to convert the humid and cold gas into dry and hot gas in the drying tunnel shell 31 and then deliver it to the first garment processing chamber 10a of the first roller 10 for circulating air supply.
[0061] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 The axial direction of the first roller 10 is parallel to the axial direction of the second roller 20. The second roller 20 includes a sub-door seal 22, which has a sub-inlet 20b communicating with the second garment processing chamber 20a. Garments can be fed into or removed from the second garment processing chamber 20a through the sub-inlet 20b. At least a portion of the sub-door seal 22 is located in a clearance space 621c, which communicates with the second garment processing chamber 20a through the sub-inlet 20b. This arrangement makes full use of the installation space, resulting in a compact layout of the garment processing equipment. Additionally, it facilitates the front support 621 in providing support for the sub-door seal 22 and other structures installed on the second roller 20, thus fully utilizing the supporting function of the front support 621.
[0062] In some embodiments, in the left-right direction, the second roller 20 is arranged side by side with the drying tunnel shell 623, and the second roller 20 is located on one side of the drying tunnel shell 623. For example, the number of second rollers 20 can be one or more. When the number of second rollers 20 is multiple, the multiple second rollers 20 are located on the same side of the drying tunnel shell 623 in the left-right direction. In some embodiments, the number of second rollers 20 is multiple. In the left-right direction, the multiple second rollers 20 are arranged side by side with the drying tunnel shell 623, and some of the second rollers 20 are located on one side of the drying tunnel shell 623, while other second rollers 20 are located on the other side of the drying tunnel shell 623. Optionally, when the number of second rollers 20 is two, the drying tunnel shell 31 can be arranged horizontally between the two second rollers 20, and the two shells 312 of the drying tunnel shell 31 are located directly below the first roller 10. In this embodiment, the second roller 20 and the drying tunnel shell 623 are arranged horizontally in the left-right direction. With the first roller 10 being larger and the second roller 20 being smaller, it is convenient to make full use of the space below the first roller 10, rationally plan the space, and arrange the structure in an orderly and compact manner.
[0063] In this embodiment, the portion of the drying tunnel shell 623 located in the clearance space 621c and the portion of the sub-door seal 22 located in the clearance space 621c are both installed on the front support portion 621. This facilitates connecting the various spaces and channels in a relatively concentrated area, which helps to simplify the structure connecting the various spaces and channels. With the support of the front support portion 621, the vibration generated when the airflow passes through the various spaces and channels is reduced, thereby reducing airflow noise.
[0064] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 The drying tunnel shell 31 includes an air inlet shell 311, two shells 312 and an exhaust shell 313 connected in sequence. The two shells 312 are located below the first drum 10, the exhaust shell 313 is located in front of the two shells 312, and the air inlet shell 311 is located behind the two shells 312. At least part of the exhaust shell 313 is located in the clearance space 621c. The exhaust shell 313 is arranged corresponding to the front support member 622 so that the air outlet channel 622a of the front support member 622 is connected to the heat exchange channel. The heat pump system also includes an evaporator 32 and a condenser 33, which are installed in the two housings 312. The humid and cold gas output from the first clothing processing chamber 10a flows downward through the air outlet channel 622a into the exhaust housing 313, and then reverses direction to enter the two housings 312. After being cooled by the evaporator 32 to condense water vapor, and heated by the condenser 33 to form dry and hot gas, it flows backward into the air inlet housing 311, and finally circulates back into the first clothing processing chamber 10a.
[0065] like Figure 4As shown, the front support 621 has a main docking opening 621a. The exhaust shell 313 and the front support member 622 are respectively installed on the front support 621 corresponding to the main docking opening 621a, so that the first clothing processing chamber 10a is connected to the heat exchange channel through the air outlet channel 622a. Optionally, at least one of the exhaust housing 313 and the front support member 622 passes through the main docking opening 621a, and the exhaust housing 313 and the front support member 622 are plugged into and installed on the front support portion 621. Alternatively, the exhaust housing 313 and the front support member 622 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the main docking opening 621a in the vertical direction and fit against the surface of the front support portion 621, and are respectively installed on the front support portion 621. In the above installation method of the exhaust housing 313 and the front support member 622, the front support portion 621 provides support for the exhaust housing 313 and the front support member 622 respectively, which can improve the docking stability of the exhaust housing 313 and the front support member 622.
[0066] The housing includes a connecting member 623, which has an exhaust duct inside. The connecting member 623 is installed on the second roller 20, and the exhaust duct is connected to the second garment processing chamber 20a of the second roller 20. The gas in the second garment processing chamber 20a can be discharged under the guidance of the exhaust duct of the connecting member 623.
[0067] The sub-door seal 22 has a sub-air outlet 20a, and the sub-air outlet 20a has a sub-air outlet channel communicating with the second garment processing chamber 20a. In some embodiments, the connecting member 623 is installed on the sub-air outlet 20a of the second roller 20. One end of the exhaust duct of the connecting member 623 is connected to the sub-air outlet channel of the sub-air outlet 20a, and the other end is connected to the exhaust port of the housing. The gas in the second garment processing chamber 20a of the second roller 20 is guided by the connecting member 623 and discharged directly from the exhaust port to the outside of the garment processing device. At this time, the exhaust duct of the connecting member 623 is spaced apart from the air outlet channel 622a of the front support member 622 and the heat exchange channel of the drying tunnel shell 31. In this embodiment, the first garment processing chamber 10a of the first roller 10 is connected to the heat exchange channel of the drying chamber shell 31 through the air outlet channel 622a of the front support member 622. The gas in the first garment processing chamber 10a enters the heat exchange channel of the drying chamber shell 31 through the air outlet channel 622a. After being processed by the heat pump system and converted into dry hot gas, it is transported back to the first garment processing chamber 10a of the first roller 10 for internal circulation.
[0068] When the gas in the second garment processing chamber 20a of the second roller 20 is discharged to the outside of the garment processing equipment through the exhaust port, optionally, the connecting member 623 is installed on the panel of the housing, and the panel of the housing is provided with an exhaust port. The connecting member 623 is set corresponding to the exhaust port, and the exhaust port is opened facing the front of the garment processing equipment to guide the gas output from the second roller 20 to be discharged to the outside of the garment processing equipment. It can be understood that the panel is the part of the housing facing the front of the garment processing equipment. The panel is usually in an open space. The main inlet 10b of the front support member 622 and the sub-inlet 20b of the second roller 20 are both set corresponding to the panel. Thus, the panel is provided with an exhaust port so that the gas in the second garment processing chamber 20a can be discharged smoothly and prevent water vapor from condensing and accumulating. Among them, an exhaust filter is provided at the exhaust port to prevent external debris from entering the interior of the connecting member 623 from the exhaust port.
[0069] In some embodiments, one end of the connecting member 623 is installed on the sub-air outlet 20a of the second roller 20, and one end of the exhaust duct of the connecting member 623 is connected to the second clothing processing chamber 20a and the other end is connected to the heat exchange channel. In this embodiment, the first clothing processing chamber 10a of the first roller 10 is connected to the heat exchange channel of the drying chamber shell 31 through the air outlet channel 622a of the front support member 622. The gas in the first clothing processing chamber 10a and the gas in the second clothing processing chamber 20a can both enter the heat exchange channel of the drying chamber shell 31, be processed by the heat pump system and converted into dry hot gas, and then be transported to at least one of the first clothing processing chamber 10a and the second clothing processing chamber 20a for internal circulation.
[0070] Optionally, the first garment processing chamber 10a is connected to the heat exchange channel of the drying tunnel shell 31 through the air outlet channel 622a of the front support member 622. One end of the connecting member 623 is installed on the sub-air outlet 20a of the second roller 20, and the other end is installed on the front support member 622. The exhaust duct of the connecting member 623 is connected to the heat exchange channel through the air outlet channel 622a of the front support member 622. The gas discharged from the second garment processing chamber 20a enters the air outlet channel 622a of the front support member 622 through the exhaust duct of the connecting member 623 and then enters the heat exchange channel.
[0071] Optionally, the first garment processing chamber 10a is connected to the heat exchange channel of the drying chamber shell 31 through the air outlet channel 622a of the front support member 622, and one end of the connecting member 623 is installed on the sub-air outlet 20a of the second roller 20 and the other end is installed on the drying chamber shell 31, for example, on the exhaust shell 313 or the two-piece shell 312 of the drying chamber shell 31, so that the exhaust duct of the connecting member 623 is directly connected to the heat exchange channel of the drying chamber shell 31, and the gas discharged from the second garment processing chamber 20a directly enters the heat exchange channel through the exhaust duct of the connecting member 623.
[0072] In this embodiment of the application, when the garment processing device includes multiple second rollers 20, the housing includes multiple connecting members 623. The multiple connecting members 623 are installed one-to-one with the multiple second rollers 20, so that the gas in the second garment processing chamber 20a of each second roller 20 enters the heat exchange channel through the exhaust duct of its corresponding connecting member 623, thereby preventing airflow interference.
[0073] In some embodiments, the connecting member 623 is mounted on the front support portion 621, and the front support portion 621 provides support for the connecting member 623, thereby improving the assembly stability of the connecting member 623 and the second roller 20.
[0074] When one end of the connecting member 623 is installed on the front support member 622, optionally, as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the front support 621 has a sub-connection opening 621b. The sub-air outlet 20a of the second roller 20 passes through the sub-connection opening 621b and is installed on the front support 621. The other end of the connecting member 623 is inserted into the sub-air outlet 20a so that the exhaust duct of the connecting member 623 is connected to the second garment processing chamber 20a through the sub-air outlet channel of the sub-air outlet 20a, thereby improving the installation stability of the connecting member 623. When the garment processing equipment includes two second rollers 20, the two second rollers 20 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the drying tunnel shell 31 in the left-right direction. The front support 621 has two sub-connection openings 621b, and the sub-air outlets 20a of the two second rollers 20 are respectively inserted through the two sub-connection openings 621b. The housing includes two connecting members 623, which are symmetrically arranged about the front support 622, and each connecting member 623 is installed on the corresponding second roller 20. Optionally, the two sub-dating openings 621b and the main docking opening 621a are located on the same straight line arranged side by side in the left-right direction XX.
[0075] Furthermore, when one end of the connecting member 623 is installed on the front support member 622, the portion of the connecting member 623 installed on the front support member 622 is located below the main inlet 10b, so that the gas discharged from the exhaust duct of the connecting member 623 enters the exhaust channel 622a of the front support member 622 in an area far away from the main inlet 10b and the first clothing processing chamber 10a, thereby reducing the interference of the gas discharged from the first clothing processing chamber 10a and the second clothing processing chamber 20a respectively.
[0076] In some embodiments, when one end of the connecting member 623 is mounted on the front support member 622, such as Figure 5As shown, the front support member 622 has a main air outlet channel 622b and a sub-air outlet channel 622c spaced apart at the air outlet channel 622a. The first garment processing chamber 10a is connected to the heat exchange channel of the drying chamber shell 31 through the main air outlet channel 622b. The sub-air outlet channel of the sub-air outlet interface 20a of the second roller 20 is connected to the heat exchange channel of the drying chamber shell 31 through the exhaust duct of the connecting member 623 and the sub-air outlet channel 622c of the front support member 622 in sequence. This guides the gas output from the first garment processing chamber 10a and the gas output from the second garment processing chamber 20a to enter the heat exchange channel of the drying chamber shell 31 independently from their respective corresponding channels, preventing crosstalk of the gas entering the front support member 622.
[0077] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the front support member 622 includes a first plate 6221 and a second plate 6222 arranged opposite each other in the front-to-back direction (YY), and two side plates 6223 arranged opposite each other in the left-to-right direction (XX). The first plate 6221, the second plate 6222, and the two side plates 6223 enclose an air outlet channel 622a. A connecting member 623 is installed on the side plates 6223. The surfaces of the first plate 6221 and the second plate 6222 are parallel, making the cross-section of the air outlet channel 622a approximately strip-shaped in the vertical direction (ZZ). This allows for full utilization of the space below the first roller 10 to expand the volume of the front support member 622, while simultaneously meeting the exhaust requirements of the first garment processing chamber 10a and the support requirements of the front support member 622 for the front end of the first roller 10.
[0078] Because the gas passing through the first garment processing chamber 10a and the second garment processing chamber 20a will contain lint after processing the garments, this lint-laden gas will adhere to the surfaces of the evaporator 32 and condenser 33 after entering the heat exchange channel, affecting their heat exchange efficiency. This embodiment of the garment processing equipment also includes a filter device installed on the front support member 622, used to filter the gas passing through the outlet channel 622a, intercepting lint at the front support member 622 and preventing lint from entering the heat exchange channel.
[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the filtration device includes at least one filter screen 93. At least one of the main air outlet channel 622b and the sub-air outlet channel 622c is provided with a filter screen 93, and the filter screen 93 is mounted on the front support member 622. The gas in the corresponding channel is filtered by the filter screen 93 located in each channel. The filter screen 93 can be detachably mounted on the front support member 622 to facilitate replacement of the filter screen 93 in the corresponding channel.
[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, at least a portion of the filter device 70 is located within the air outlet channel 622a and mounted on the front support member 622. The filter device 70 includes multiple spaced filter channels, one of which forms a main air outlet channel 622b, and at least one of which forms a sub-air outlet channel 622c. The filter channels inside the filter device 70 guide the gas in the corresponding garment processing chamber into the heat exchange channel of the drying tunnel shell 31. For example, when the garment processing equipment includes one first roller 10 and two second rollers 20, the filter device 70 is configured to include three filter channels, one of which forms the main air outlet channel 622b, one of which forms one sub-air outlet channel 622c, and another of which forms another sub-air outlet channel 622c. Each sub-air outlet channel 622c is connected to the second garment processing chamber 20a of the second roller 20 through an exhaust duct of a connecting member 623.
[0081] The above is merely an illustrative description. The embodiments of this application do not limit the filtration structure of the gas output from the first clothing processing chamber 10a and the gas output from the second clothing processing chamber 20a. Any solution in the art that can meet the filtration requirements of this application is applicable to this application.
[0082] In this embodiment, the second roller 20 further includes a sub-cylinder 21 and a sub-rear cover 24. The sub-door seal 22 and the sub-rear cover 24 are installed at opposite ends of the sub-cylinder 21 along the axial direction of the second roller 20. The sub-rear cover 24 of the second roller 20 has a sub-air inlet 20b, which has a sub-air inlet channel communicating with the second clothing processing chamber 20a. The sub-air inlet 20b and the sub-air outlet 20a are both opened in the vertical direction toward the side where the first roller 10 is located. The guiding gas enters and exits the second clothing processing chamber 20a radially, so that the airflow entering the second clothing processing chamber 20a can agitate the gas in the second clothing processing chamber 20a more, reduce the dead zone of airflow, and improve the drying effect.
[0083] In some embodiments, the sub-air inlet channel of the sub-air inlet port 20b can be connected to the heat exchange channel of the drying tunnel shell 31, and a portion of the dry hot gas generated by the heat pump system can enter the second garment processing chamber 20a through the sub-air inlet channel of the sub-air inlet port 20b. In other embodiments, the garment processing equipment may further include a drying device 50, which is mounted on the side support beam 624 of the housing and the side support beam 624 is mounted on the front support part 621. The flow channel inside the flow guide structure of the drying device 50 is connected to the sub-air inlet channel of the sub-air inlet port 20b. The drying device 50 heats the gas and then transports it to the second garment processing chamber 20a through the flow channel inside the flow guide structure and the sub-air inlet channel of the sub-air inlet port 20b.
[0084] In some embodiments, the front support 621 includes a horizontal arm 6211 and two side arms 6212 arranged opposite each other in the left-right direction. One end of each side arm 6212 away from the horizontal arm 6211 is mounted on the base 61. The horizontal arm 6211 and the two side arms 6212 enclose a clearance space 621c. In the vertical direction ZZ, the horizontal arm 6211 is spaced apart from the base 61. The horizontal arm 6211 has a sub-dating opening 621b and a main docking opening 621a. The front support member 622, the exhaust shell 313, and the sub-exhaust port 20a are all mounted on the horizontal arm 6211.
[0085] In some embodiments, the front support 621 includes two horizontal arms 6211 arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, and two side arms 6212 arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction. The front support member 622 is disposed on the upper horizontal arm 6211, and the lower horizontal arm 6211 is mounted on the base 61. The two horizontal arms 6211 and the two side arms 6212 enclose a clearance space 621c. Optionally, in the vertical direction, both horizontal arms 6211 are located above the base 61. The upper horizontal arm 6211 has a sub-dating opening 621b and a main docking opening 621a. The front support member 622, the exhaust shell 313, and the sub-exhaust port 20a are all mounted on the upper horizontal arm 6211.
[0086] In this embodiment, the front support 621 is a sheet metal part, which gives the front support 621 good structural strength, thereby providing stable support for the structural components installed on it.
[0087] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 The garment processing equipment also includes a shock-absorbing structure 80, which is located in the space between the second roller 20 and the base 61, and is installed on both the second roller 20 and the base 61. The shock-absorbing structure 80 is used to buffer the vibration and shaking of the second roller 20 during operation. When the sub-door seal 22 of the second roller 20 is installed on the cross arm 6211, the front support 621, the base 61, and the shock-absorbing structure 80 work together to limit the second roller 20 and improve its installation stability. The shock-absorbing structure 80 is located behind the front support 621 so that it is in a suitable space to buffer the vibration and shaking of the second roller 20 during operation.
