Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrical appliances, and specifically relates to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, washing machines, dryers, and garment handling cabinets dry clothes using a circulating airflow. During the drying process, clothes are separated from lint, and existing technologies typically use lint filters to capture the lint. However, if the lint filter captures a large amount of lint under the influence of the circulating airflow—meaning the lint adheres to the filter—it can become clogged. This creates significant resistance to the circulating airflow, making it difficult to dry the clothes and severely reducing drying efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a garment processing device that captures lint using an electrostatic lint filter, reducing the probability of lint clogging the lint filter. The garment processing device provided by the present invention includes:

[0004] Clothing storage cavity;

[0005] The air duct is connected to the clothing receiving cavity;

[0006] The lint filter collects lint under the action of airflow circulation;

[0007] An electrostatic lint collection device, independent of the lint filter, wherein the electrostatic lint collection device attracts lint using electrostatic force.

[0008] Furthermore, the electrostatic lint collecting device is not on the same plane as the inner wall of the cavity containing the clothing.

[0009] Furthermore, the electrostatic lint collection device can be installed at the top, bottom, or side wall of the clothing receiving cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, a groove is provided in the clothing receiving cavity to accommodate the electrostatic lint collecting device.

[0011] Furthermore, the material of the electrostatic wire debris collection device is electret.

[0012] Furthermore, the electrostatic lint collecting device is detachably connected to the clothing receiving cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a detachable receiving device, which is elastically connected to the groove by a spring force; preferably, the receiving device includes: a net bag, a mesh fence, or a grid.

[0014] Furthermore, the electrostatic lint collection device is disposed on the clothing receiving cavity.

[0015] Furthermore, the electrostatic lint collecting device includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode, with the positive electrode of the electrostatic lint collecting device facing the clothing receiving cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, an electrostatic lint collection device is installed inside the air duct, and the material of the electrostatic lint collection device is electret.

[0017] The garment processing equipment of the present invention incorporates an electrostatic lint collecting device on the garment receiving cavity. This electrostatic lint collecting device is independent of the lint filtering device. The electrostatic lint collecting device attracts lint using electrostatic force. Without the need for an additional driving device, the electrostatic lint collecting device itself generates electrostatic force. With the positive terminal of the electrostatic lint collecting device facing the garment receiving cavity, the lint on the garment, which is generated by friction during the drying process, often carries a negative charge. Opposite charges attract, thus attracting the garment and the lint floating in the garment receiving cavity to the electrostatic lint collecting device. Therefore, the garment processing equipment provided by the present invention can collect lint from the garment, thereby minimizing the risk of the lint filtering device being clogged by the circulating airflow. The garment processing equipment of the present invention also improves the airflow circulation in the garment receiving cavity, thereby significantly increasing the drying efficiency of the garment.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a garment processing device provided by the present invention. In this embodiment, the garment processing device includes: a garment receiving cavity 1, an air duct 3, a lint filter 2, and an electrostatic lint collection device 4.

[0028] The present invention can be applied to washing machines, dryers, or garment handling cabinets. In a drying process, airflow enters the garment receiving chamber 1 through the air inlet, dries the garments inside, and then flows out through the air outlet, subsequently entering the air duct 3, thus forming an airflow circulation. Since there are lint or hair on the garments, a lint filter 2 is provided to capture the lint under the action of the circulating airflow.

[0029] However, lint quickly deposits on the lint filter 2 under the action of the circulating airflow. When too much lint accumulates on the lint filter 2, it obstructs the circulating airflow, creating resistance and reducing drying efficiency. Therefore, the garment processing equipment of the present invention provides an electrostatic lint collecting device 4 on the garment receiving cavity 1. The advantages of this are: firstly, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 provided by the present invention adsorbs a portion of the lint in the garment receiving cavity, pre-collecting it. Secondly, the collection of some lint by the electrostatic lint filter device of the present invention reduces clogging of the lint filter 2. Thirdly, reduced clogging of the lint filter device allows for smoother circulating airflow, thus improving the drying efficiency of the garments.

[0030] The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 provided by this invention is independent of the lint filtering device 2. That is, this invention is not an improvement on the lint filtering device 2, but rather provides a new technical solution. In the prior art, the lint filtering device 2 collects lint under the action of circulating air. However, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 provided by this invention collects lint by adsorbing it with electrostatic force. Clothing can generate electrical charge in two ways: First, during a drying process, the clothes tumble in the clothing receiving chamber 1, causing friction between the clothes and the chamber 1 to generate static electricity; the clothes and the lint on them usually carry a negative charge. Second, a high-voltage charging mechanism can discharge electricity to the clothes, thereby increasing their charge and causing the surface of the clothes and the lint on them to carry a negative charge. Specifically, the process of electrical charge generation from friction in the clothing receiving cavity 1 is as follows: The clothing is placed in the clothing receiving cavity 1, the drying program is started, and circulating airflow enters the clothing receiving cavity 1 through the air inlet. The airflow and the rotation of the clothing receiving cavity 1 cause the clothing to tumble. During this tumbling process, friction occurs between the clothing and / or between the clothing and the clothing receiving cavity 1, causing the clothing and its lint to carry an electrical charge. More specifically, the clothing and its lint usually carry a negative charge. Under the blowing of the circulating airflow and the rotation of the clothing receiving cavity 1, some of the lint floats in the clothing receiving cavity 1. Of course, under the blowing of the circulating airflow, some of the lint floating in the clothing receiving cavity 1 will also be blown into the air duct 3. That is, there are floating lint in both the clothing receiving cavity 1 and the air duct 3. It can also be understood that since the clothing receiving cavity 1 and the air duct 3 are connected, there are floating lint between the clothing receiving cavity 1 and the air duct 3. All or part of these floating lints carry an electrical charge due to friction between the clothing and / or between the clothing and the clothing receiving cavity; more specifically, the lint carries a negative charge. The high-voltage electric field generated by a high-voltage starter motor (such as the electric field near the heating element inside a dryer) enhances the charge separation efficiency in friction areas, making it easier for static electricity to accumulate on the surface of clothing. When the starter motor is running, the high-voltage electric field may ionize the surrounding air, generating free charges. These charged particles adhere to the surface of the clothing, further increasing its charge. High-voltage starter motors are typically installed at the rear of the garment handling equipment, near the bottom. High-voltage starter motors can also cause lint to carry a charge; specifically, the lint carries a negative charge.

[0031] This invention incorporates an electrostatic lint collecting device 4 on the garment receiving cavity 1. Therefore, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 can collect lint within the garment receiving cavity 1, making it less likely for the garment processing equipment provided by this invention to clog the lint filter device 2. With the lint filter device 2 less prone to clogging, the airflow in the garment receiving cavity 1 is smoother, resulting in higher drying efficiency. In other words, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 of this invention is independent of the lint filter device 2 and is not structurally connected to it. The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 itself can collect a portion of the lint. Since the amount of lint on the garment is fixed, the collection of a portion by the electrostatic lint collecting device reduces the possibility of floating lint clogging the lint filter device 2 in the garment receiving cavity, thus improving drying efficiency.

[0032] The electrostatic wire debris collecting device 4 of the present invention is made of electret material (also known as permanent charge). The advantage of using electret material is that it is a dielectric material capable of permanently storing space charge and dipole charge. The charge distribution on the surface and inside of this material is maintained over a long period, exhibiting properties similar to a permanent magnet. It possesses a persistent and non-fading electrostatic attraction to external charged bodies. In other words, the electrostatic wire debris collecting device made of electret material provided by the present invention carries its own charge. Furthermore, the electrostatic wire debris collecting device 4 of the present invention does not require additional drive; the electrostatic collecting device of the present invention can generate a space electric field without any external control circuitry.

[0033] The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 of the present invention includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode, with the positive electrode facing the clothing receiving cavity 1. In a drying scenario, lint on the clothing rubs against the clothing receiving cavity 1, acquiring a negative charge. The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 carries a positive charge, and the two charges attract each other, causing the lint to be adsorbed onto the electrostatic lint collecting device 4. This completes the collection of lint, thus reducing the amount of lint floating in the clothing receiving cavity 1.

[0034] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In this invention, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 and the inner wall surface of the clothing receiving cavity 1 are not on the same plane. The purpose of this arrangement is that when lint is adsorbed on the electrostatic lint collecting device 4, since the clothing comes into contact with the clothing receiving cavity 1, in order to prevent the clothing from carrying away the lint already adsorbed on the electrostatic lint collecting device 4, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 and the clothing receiving cavity 1 are arranged on different planes, thereby allowing the adsorbed lint to flow out of the receiving space.

[0035] Furthermore, the garment receiving cavity 1 provided by the present invention has a groove 10. This is a specific implementation in which the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 and the garment receiving cavity 1 are arranged on different planes. The groove 10 provides a space to accommodate the electrostatic lint collecting device 4. By providing the groove 10 on the garment receiving cavity 1, a specific implementation in which the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 and the garment receiving cavity 1 are arranged on different planes, the lint attracted by the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 is also retained on the electrostatic lint collecting device 4. The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 and the attracted lint are both within the groove 10, so the collected lint is not easily carried away again by the turned garment.

[0036] It should be noted that, Figure 1 This is merely a schematic diagram of the groove 10 on the clothing receiving cavity 1 of the present invention, and the present invention does not limit the specific shape of the groove 10. In fact, as long as the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 of the present invention is not on the same plane as the inner wall surface of the clothing receiving cavity 1, leaving a certain space for the adsorbed lint, the lint can be prevented from being carried away again.

[0037] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another garment processing device provided by the present invention. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,from Figure 1 and Figure 2 The comparison shows that the present invention does not limit the depth or specific shape of the groove 10. One function of the groove 10 is to provide an installation position for the electrostatic lint collection device 4 provided by the present invention. Another function is to prevent lint from being carried away again. It should be noted that the groove can also be a "protrusion", that is, the difference between "groove" and "protrusion" is only determined by the observer's position.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the groove 10 on the clothing receiving cavity 1 and the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 provided by the present invention. Figure 2 The invention also provides a design for an electrostatic filament collecting device 4 with an alternative shape. Specifically, the front view of the electrostatic filament collecting device 4 of the present invention can be rectangular, circular, elliptical, or irregular in shape. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic side view (or a schematic cross-sectional view) of the electrostatic filament collecting device 4. That is to say, the shape of the electrostatic filament collecting device 4 of the present invention is not limited.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 provided by the present invention is configured as follows: Figure 2The shape shown allows the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 provided by this invention to be installed in the clothing receiving cavity 1. The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 provided by this invention only needs to be compatible with the shape of the groove 10 and easy to install. In order to place the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 provided by this invention in the clothing receiving cavity 1, in a specific embodiment, the schematic diagram of the front view of the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 can be: rectangular, circular, or elliptical, or even an irregular shape; Figure 2 and Figure 1 The difference lies in the fact that the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 of the present invention is shown in the side view (or cross-sectional view). Figure 2 and Figure 1 Different shapes are still possible. Furthermore, if the shape of the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 changes, the shape of the groove 10 also changes accordingly; such changes are still within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 and the clothing receiving cavity 1 provided by the present invention is also shown. First, it should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific shape of the clothing receiving cavity 1. Of course, the clothing receiving cavity 1 of the present invention can be either a regular spatial receiving cavity or an irregular spatial receiving cavity. Figure 1 The diagram shown is only a schematic of a clothing storage cavity 1.

[0041] The electrostatic lint collection device 4 of the present invention can be installed at any of the top 11, bottom 13 and / or side wall 12. Figure 1 The static lint collecting device 4 of the present invention is merely shown schematically at the bottom 13. Furthermore, the number of static lint collecting devices 4 is not limited. Multiple static lint collecting devices can also be arranged at suitable positions on the top 11, bottom 13, and / or side wall 12. To arrange the static lint collecting device 4 provided by the present invention on the top 11 or side wall 12, the present invention can still be implemented by arranging the static lint collecting device 4 and the clothing receiving cavity 1 on different planes. Specifically, a groove 10 can be provided on the top 11 or side wall 12 to accommodate the static lint collecting device 4, wherein the size, shape, and depth of the groove 10 are not limited. The size, shape, and thickness of the static lint collecting device 4 arranged on the top 11 or side wall 12 are also not limited. For example, one or more through grooves can be provided on the side wall 12, and correspondingly, one or more static lint collecting devices 4 can be arranged. The present invention does not limit the number of static lint collecting devices 4 arranged on the clothing receiving cavity 1; the present invention can provide one or multiple static lint collecting devices.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 provided by this invention is detachably connected to the clothing receiving cavity 1. When a large amount of lint is adsorbed on the electrostatic lint collecting device 4, the lint can be removed in a detachable manner.

[0043] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The garment processing device of the present invention can also employ a lint collection device 5. In the garment processing device of the present invention, the electrostatic lint collection device 4 is fixedly or detachably installed on the garment receiving cavity 1. In order to clean the collected lint, the garment processing device of the present invention is provided with a detachable receiving device 5. That is, without removing the electrostatic lint collection device 4, only the receiving device 5 is removed, and the removed receiving device 5 is cleaned.

[0044] Specifically, the detachable receiving device 5 engages with the groove 10. First, when lint approaches the electrostatic lint collecting device 4, under the influence of electrostatic force, the lint floating in the clothing receiving cavity 1 is drawn towards the electrostatic lint collecting device 4. Since the receiving device 5 is positioned between the lint filtering device 4 and the receiving space of the clothing receiving cavity 1, the lint first contacts the receiving device 5. Under the influence of electrostatic force, the lint is captured by the receiving device 5 and remains on it. Therefore, when cleaning the lint, the receiving device 5 can be disassembled and cleaned. In other words, the advantage of setting up the receiving device 5 is that it avoids disassembling the electrostatic lint collecting device 4; only the receiving device 5 needs to be removed to clean the lint.

[0045] The receiving device 5 provided by the present invention further includes: a net, a fence, or a grid (not shown in the figure). That is, when electrostatic force captures the lint, the lint passes through the gaps in the net, fence, or grid and is collected in the receiving device 5.

[0046] The purpose of setting up a mesh bag, fence, or grid is twofold: firstly, it allows lint to pass through the gaps in the mesh bag, fence, or grid, thus collecting the lint; secondly, it prevents the lint from being carried away by clothing when it accumulates excessively. In other words, this invention, by setting up a mesh bag, fence, or grid on the receiving device, can both collect lint and prevent the collected lint from being carried away again. Furthermore, the entire receiving device 5 can be disassembled for easy cleaning when cleaning lint.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1The present invention can also provide an electrostatic lint collecting device 4 (not shown in the figure) on the air duct 3. The material of the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 is electret. That is, under the action of the circulating airflow, some lint is sent into the air duct 3. By providing a second electrostatic lint collecting device on the air duct 3, some lint is captured in the air duct 3, which can also reduce the clogging of the lint filter device 2. The present invention can also provide a groove on the air duct 3 to accommodate the electrostatic lint collecting device 4. The present invention can provide one or more electrostatic lint collecting devices 4 on the air duct 3. The electrostatic lint collecting device provided on the air duct 3 is detachably connected to the air duct 3. The location 4 of the electrostatic lint collecting device on the air duct 3 is not limited. For example, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 can be provided at the air inlet or air outlet. The advantage of doing so is that the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 is easy to clean. However, even if the electrostatic lint collecting device of the present invention is provided in the air duct 3, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 of the present invention is still independent of the lint filter device 2. That is, even without the lint filter device 2, the electrostatic lint collection device 4 of the present invention can still collect lint by electrostatic force.

[0048] When the clothing processing equipment of this invention is a drum dryer, the drum dryer dries clothes by rotating the drum and circulating hot air. Due to the friction between the clothes and the drum, lint easily becomes charged on the inner wall of the drum, the electric heating part, the exhaust duct, etc. Traditional lint filters are usually located at the air inlet of the exhaust duct and mainly rely on airflow for collection. The electrostatic lint collection device 4 of this invention is installed in: First, on the inner wall of the drum (clothes receiving cavity 1) or at the outlet of the drum clothes receiving cavity 1). Since lint becomes charged when rotating in the drum clothes receiving cavity 1), the electrostatic lint collection device 4 can be installed near the air outlet of the drum clothes receiving cavity 1) to use the positive electrode of the electret to adsorb charged lint, reducing the amount of lint entering the exhaust system. Specifically, it can be installed on the clothes receiving cavity 1 near the outlet air duct of the drum clothes receiving cavity 1) so that charged lint is adsorbed before leaving the clothes receiving cavity 1. Second, near the exhaust duct. The exhaust system is the key path for lint flow. Installing the electrostatic lint collection device 4 in front of or around the lint filter device 2 can enhance the lint capture capacity and reduce the burden on traditional filters. Since the airflow is relatively fast, it is recommended to combine a flow guiding structure to guide the wire debris closer to the electrostatic wire debris collection device 4 of the present invention to improve the adsorption effect.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the clothing processing device provided by the present invention. Figure 3 This is an application scenario for a clothing processing cabinet. Figure 3 and Figure 1 The difference is that, in Figure 3In the garment processing device shown, the garments do not rotate with the garment receiving cavity 1. When the garment processing device of the present invention is a cabinet-type garment care machine, the garments are hung inside the garment receiving cavity 1 and are usually treated by steam, hot air, or a gentle breeze circulation. The source of lint is mainly the shedding of the garments themselves, rather than the friction generated by the rollers (in the garment receiving cavity 1). Due to the lack of a strong rotating airflow, the lint may slowly settle or float inside the cabinet. The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 of the present invention is installed at: firstly, at the bottom 13 of the garment hanging area (garment receiving cavity 1). Since the lint will fall slowly, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 can be installed under the garments, similar to an electrostatic settling device, to improve the adsorption efficiency. Secondly, multiple electrostatic lint collecting devices 4 can also be installed on both sides of the garments (or on the side wall 12) to enhance the adsorption range and ensure that lint of different heights can be adsorbed. In this embodiment, the number, shape, size, thickness, and specific location of the electrostatic lint collecting devices 4 are not limited. The material of the electrostatic lint collection device 4 is electret. The electrostatic lint collection device includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode, with the positive electrode of the electrostatic lint collection device 4 facing the clothing receiving cavity.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a garment processing device comprising: a garment receiving cavity 1, an air duct 3, a lint filter 2, and an electrostatic lint collecting device 4. The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 is disposed at the bottom 13 of the garment receiving cavity 1. Alternatively, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 can also be disposed on the side wall 12 or the top 11. The advantage of disposing the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 at the bottom 13 is that, in addition to being activated by the circulating air, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 can capture a portion of the lint. In this embodiment, the inner wall surface of the garment receiving cavity 1 and the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 are not on the same plane. Specifically, a groove 10 can be provided on the garment receiving cavity 1 as the electrostatic lint collecting device. The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 is installed in the groove 10. The groove 10 also serves to accommodate lint. Under the influence of gravity, the electrostatic lint collecting device can also adsorb lint through superposition with its own electrostatic force, thereby preventing lint from clogging the lint filter 2. One or more electrostatic lint collecting devices 4 can also be disposed in the air duct 3 to adsorb more lint. In this embodiment, a receiving device (not shown in the figure) may also be provided for collecting wire dander. The receiving device engages with the groove 10. In this embodiment, the wire dander can be removed by simply removing the receiving device and cleaning it without disassembling the electrostatic wire dander collecting device 4.

[0051] The garment processing equipment of the present invention incorporates an electrostatic lint collecting device 4, which is independent of the lint filter device 2. The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 collects lint using electrostatic force, reducing the amount of lint floating in the garment receiving cavity 1, thereby reducing lint clogging of the lint filter device 2. This results in smoother airflow through the inner chamber, leading to higher drying efficiency. The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 requires no external driving force; it generates its own electric field. The positive charges on the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 attract the negative charges floating in the garment receiving cavity 1, thus adsorbing the lint onto it. This significantly reduces the amount of lint floating in the garment receiving cavity 1. Simultaneously, it reduces the probability of lint clogging the lint filter device 2 under the influence of circulating airflow. Consequently, the circulating airflow is smooth, resulting in high garment drying efficiency.

[0052] With the clothing processing equipment of the present invention, the electrostatic lint collecting device 4 collects a portion of the lint using electrostatic force. The electrostatic lint collecting device 4 is independent of the lint filtering device 2. The electrostatic lint collecting device 2 uses electret material and can generate a spatial power plant without the need for an additional drive circuit. It can easily attract the lint on the clothing to the electrostatic lint collecting device 2 through the action of electrostatic force, thereby reducing the lint clogging of the lint filtering device 2 and further reducing its airflow blockage, thus making the drying efficiency of the clothing higher.

[0053] 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. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced. 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.
