[0037] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] Please also read Figures 1 to 4In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a heat pump installation box, which is used for a heat pump module. The heat pump installation box is formed with an air flow path, and the heat pump installation box includes a drying tunnel bottom cover 10, which has a first storage area 11, an air inlet 12, an air outlet 13 and a second storage area 14. At least part of the heat exchanger 20 of the heat pump module is arranged in the first storage area 11, and the first storage area 11 is respectively provided with an air inlet 12 and an air outlet 13 on both sides along the first direction, and the air flow path passes through the air inlet 12, the first storage area 11 and the air outlet 13 in sequence; the second storage area 14 is arranged along the second direction with the first storage area 11, and at least part of the bottom wall of the second storage area 14 is sunken to form a drainage groove 14a, and the drainage groove 14a is used to discharge condensed water, and the throttling element 30 of the heat pump module is arranged in the second storage area 14; wherein the second direction intersects with the first direction.

[0039] The heat pump module is used in a clothing processing device. The specific type of clothing processing device is not limited here. In addition to drying the clothes, the clothing processing device can also perform at least one of the operations of washing and dehydrating the clothes. For example, it can be a dryer or a washer-dryer. Exemplarily, the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the clothing processing device as a washer-dryer as an example.

[0040] The washer-dryer can wash and dry clothes. The washer-dryer includes a drying drum, and the drying drum has a drying cavity for accommodating clothes and a clothes loading port, and users can take clothes from the clothes loading port.

[0041] It should be noted that, in addition to the heat pump installation box, the heat pump module generally includes components such as a compressor, a heat exchanger 20, and a throttling element 30. In other words, the clothes processing device of the embodiment of the present application uses heat pump technology to dry clothes.

[0042] The heat exchanger 20 includes an evaporator 21 and a condenser 22 .

[0043] The working principle of the heat pump module is as follows: the compressor inhales low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is compressed by the compressor and discharged at high pressure. The discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser 22, is cooled by the air at room temperature, and condenses into a high-pressure liquid (while transferring heat to the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the condenser 22 will be heated and heated up; the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the throttling element 30, is throttled and decompressed, and becomes a low-pressure and low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture and then enters the evaporator 21, where the liquid refrigerant evaporates and cools in the evaporator 21 (while absorbing heat from the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the evaporator 21 will be cooled and cooled, and the generated low-pressure gaseous refrigerant will be sucked in by the compressor again and pressurized, and this cycle will be repeated to achieve heat exchange.

[0044] It should be noted that the type of the throttling element 30 is not limited, and may be, for example, a capillary tube, an electronic expansion valve, and the like.

[0045] The working process and drying principle of the clothing treatment device of the embodiment of the present application are as follows: the dry hot air flow flowing out of the heat pump module enters the drying chamber, in which the dry hot air flow flows through the surface of the wet clothes, exchanges heat and moisture with the wet clothes, absorbs moisture in the clothes, and becomes a humid hot air flow, which flows through the air flow path and sequentially through the evaporator 21 and the condenser 22. In the process of flowing through the evaporator 21, the humid hot air flow is condensed and dehumidified by the evaporator 21 to form a low-temperature dry air flow, which is heated to a dry hot air flow when passing through the condenser 22. The dry hot air flow enters the drying chamber again, and the cycle runs in this way to achieve continuous and efficient drying of clothes.

[0046] The heat pump washer-dryer achieves high energy utilization and low energy consumption. At the same time, the drying temperature of the heat pump module is much lower than the heating temperature of the electric heating element, ensuring the drying quality of clothes.

[0047] The specific direction of the first direction is not limited. For example, the first direction is Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The direction shown by d1.

[0048] The specific direction of the second direction is also not limited. For example, the second direction is Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The direction shown by d2.

[0049] The second direction intersects the first direction. That is, the first direction and the second direction are arranged at an angle. The angle between the two is not limited, for example, it can be orthogonal.

[0050] It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction are both directions on a horizontal plane, which is a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the heat pump installation box.

[0051] It can be understood that the height direction of the heat pump installation box should be understood based on the orientation relationship after the heat pump installation box is used on the clothing processing device and the clothing processing device is in normal use.

[0052] At least part of the heat exchanger 20 is disposed in the first storage area 11. That is, the heat exchanger 20 may be entirely disposed in the first storage area 11, or only part of the structure may be disposed in the first storage area 11.

[0053] The airflow path sequentially passes through the air inlet 12, the first storage area 11 and the air outlet 13. That is, the airflow flows substantially along the first direction in the heat pump installation box.

[0054] The heat pump installation box provides installation space for components such as the evaporator 21, the condenser 22, and the throttling element 30. In this way, the evaporator 21, the condenser 22 and other components of the heat pump module can be a sub-assembly structure. The sub-assembly structure heat pump module is assembled with the barrel assembly of the clothing processing device, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the clothing processing device.

[0055] The drain groove 14a has a certain collection capacity. Through the drainage groove 14a, the condensed water can be uniformly discharged to the outside of the heat pump installation box. The condensed water will not remain in the heat pump installation box for a long time. In this way, it is convenient for the clothing processing device to perform clothing drying operations multiple times.

[0056] It should be noted that the condensed water includes the condensed water generated on the evaporator 21 and the spray water of the spray device.

[0057] The drainage groove 14a may also have a certain water storage capacity. That is, when a large amount of condensed water is generated and the water is not drained in time, the condensed water may be stored in the drainage groove 14a, and will not overflow into the first storage area 11.

[0058] The second storage area 14 and the first storage area 11 are arranged along the second direction, that is, at least a portion of the second storage area 14 and at least a portion of the first storage area 11 may be located at the same level.

[0059] It is understandable that the bottom wall of the second storage area 14 needs to be sunken to form the drainage groove 14a. In other words, the area where the second storage area 14 is located needs to meet a certain size in the height direction of the heat pump installation box, and the drainage groove 14 mainly functions to drain water. By arranging the throttling element 30 and the desiccant tube 40 in the second storage area 14, the space of the second storage area 14 can be fully utilized, which is conducive to compressing the size of the heat pump module in the height direction.

[0060] In the related art, the throttling element is arranged in the first storage area and is located between the evaporator and the condenser. In addition to meeting the installation requirements of the evaporator and the condenser, the first storage area also needs to meet the installation requirements of the throttling element, while the space in the second storage area is not fully utilized, resulting in relatively low space utilization in the heat pump installation box; and, after a large number of components are installed in the first storage area, it may cause the size of the first storage area along the height direction of the heat pump installation box to be difficult to control, which in turn makes it easy to make the size of the heat pump module in the height direction difficult to control.

[0061] In the heat pump installation box of the embodiment of the present application, the second storage area 14 is located on one side of the first storage area 11 along the second direction, at least part of the heat exchanger 20 of the heat pump module is arranged in the first storage area 11, and at least part of the bottom wall of the second storage area 14 is sunken to form a drainage groove 14a. In other words, the area where the second storage area 14 is located has a certain size in the height direction of the heat pump installation box, that is, the space in the second storage area 14 along the height direction of the heat pump installation box is relatively abundant. By arranging the throttling element 30 in the second storage area 14, the space in the second storage area 14 can be fully utilized, so that the layout of the parts in the heat pump installation box is more reasonable, and the space utilization rate in the heat pump installation box is improved. At the same time, the first storage area 11 does not need to consider the installation space of the throttling element, which is conducive to controlling the size of the heat pump installation box along its height direction, and then facilitating the control of the size of the clothing processing device in the height direction.

[0062] It is understandable that after the height dimension of the laundry processing device is controlled, it is also convenient for users to operate. For example, when the laundry processing device is a washing and drying machine, it is convenient for users to operate the drying device or washing device located on the top of the laundry processing device.

[0063] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the heat pump module further includes a desiccant tube 40 , and the desiccant tube 40 is disposed in the second storage area 14 .

[0064] The throttling element 30 is connected to the condenser 22 via the desiccant tube 40. It is understandable that the piping system and piping components between the evaporator 21 and the condenser 22 can be arranged in the second storage area 14, thus reducing the complexity of the piping system of the heat pump module.

[0065] At the same time, the desiccant tube 40 is also located in the second storage area 14. The desiccant tube 40 located in the second storage area 14 and the heat exchanger 20 located in the first storage area 11 can also be arranged in the horizontal direction, which is beneficial to further control the height dimension of the heat pump module.

[0066] The specific method of draining the condensed water from the drain groove 14a is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, the condensed water accumulated in the drain groove 14a can be pumped out by a small water pump.

[0067] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the drainage groove 14a extends along the first direction, a drainage port 14b is formed on the groove wall of the drainage groove 14a, and the drainage port 14b is located on one side of the drainage groove 14a close to the air outlet 13 along the first direction.

[0068] The drain pipe of the clothes processing device can be connected to the heat pump installation box and communicated with the drain port 14b, so that the condensed water can be drained to the floor drain through the drain pipe.

[0069] The drain port 14b is located on one side of the drain groove 14a along the first direction close to the air outlet 13. That is, along the first direction, the distance between the drain port 14b and the air outlet 13 is smaller than the distance between the drain port 14b and the air inlet 12.

[0070] It is understandable that during use of the heat pump module, a small amount of airflow will enter the second storage area 14 , so that the condensed water will flow to the end of the drainage groove 14 a close to the air outlet 13 under the action of this airflow.

[0071] In this embodiment, the drain port 14b is arranged on the side close to the air outlet 13 along the first direction, so that the condensed water flowing to one end of the air outlet 13 can be discharged through the drain port 14b. In this way, the condensed water in the drain groove 14a can basically be discharged through the drain port 14b, which is beneficial to reduce the possibility of condensed water accumulation in the drain groove 14a.

[0072] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the height of at least a portion of the bottom wall of the drainage groove 14a gradually decreases from the air inlet 12 to the air outlet 13.

[0073] That is, the bottom wall of the drainage groove 14 a is inclined relative to the height direction of the oven bottom cover 10 .

[0074] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the height direction of the drying tunnel bottom cover 10 is consistent with the height direction of the laundry processing device in a normal use state after the drying tunnel bottom cover 10 is used in the laundry processing device.

[0075] It should be noted that the bottom wall of the drainage groove 14a may be a surface with a zero curvature or a surface with a non-zero curvature.

[0076] In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the drainage groove 14a forms a height difference along the first direction. After the condensed water enters the drainage groove 14a, it can flow to the end close to the air outlet 13 under the action of gravity and be discharged through the drainage port 14b, thereby improving the drainage efficiency of the drainage groove 14a.

[0077] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, when projected on a plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the second storage area 14 does not overlap with the projection of the air inlet 12. That is, along the orthographic projection of the first direction, the orthographic projection of the second storage area 14 and the orthographic projection of the air inlet 12 are independent of each other, and there is no overlapping area between the two.

[0078] It can be understood that in this embodiment, along the first direction, the second storage area 14 does not have an area directly opposite to the air inlet 12. When the airflow passes through the air inlet 12 and flows toward the air outlet 13, the airflow will not blow directly toward the second storage area 14, thereby reducing the risk of the airflow blowing the condensed water in the drain groove 14a and causing the condensed water to splash out of the drain groove 14a.

[0079] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, when projected on a plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the second storage area 14 does not overlap with the projection of the air outlet 13. That is, along the orthographic projection of the first direction, the orthographic projection of the second storage area 14 and the orthographic projection of the air outlet 13 are independent of each other, and there is no overlapping area between the two.

[0080] It can be understood that in this embodiment, along the first direction, the second storage area 14 does not have an area directly opposite to the air outlet 13. In the process of the air flow passing through the air inlet 12 and flowing to the air outlet 13, even if some condensed water is blown to the end close to the air outlet 13 along the first direction under the influence of the air flow, since the second storage area 14 does not have an area directly opposite to the air outlet 13, this part of condensed water will basically not splash to the air outlet 13 and flow into the drying chamber to affect the drying efficiency.

[0081] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, a stopper 14c is protruding from the bottom wall of the drain groove 14a. In the direction from the air inlet 12 to the air outlet 13, the stopper 14c is located upstream of the drain outlet 14b. The stopper 14c can at least be used to stop hair debris.

[0082] The structure of the stopper 14c is not limited. Figure 4 As shown, it may be a rib-like structure, for example.

[0083] When air flows through clothes, it may carry some hair debris into the heat pump installation box. The hair debris is stopped by the stopper 14c, which reduces the probability of hair debris blocking the drain port 14b, thereby helping to improve the drainage reliability of the drain port 14b.

[0084] It is understandable that the stopper 14c also has a certain flow-guiding effect, thereby guiding the flow of condensed water and improving the drainage efficiency of the drainage groove 14a.

[0085] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the drain port 14b is disposed on a side wall of the drain groove 14a close to the air outlet 13 along the first direction, and the stopper 14c is disposed close to the drain port 14b along the first direction.

[0086] It should be noted that, generally speaking, along the first direction, the closer to the air outlet 13, the lower the height of the bottom wall of the drain groove 14a. In other words, the closer to the air outlet 13, the deeper the depth of the drain groove 14a can be.

[0087] It is understandable that after the stopper 14c blocks a lot of hair debris, it will also produce a certain resistance to the flow of condensed water. After the passing rate of condensed water is reduced, the condensed water may be accumulated before the stopper 14c and overflow the drainage groove 14a.

[0088] By arranging the stopper 14c close to the drain outlet 14b along the first direction, the stopper 14c can be arranged at a deeper position of the drain groove 14a as much as possible. The drain groove 14a has a better water storage capacity at this position, which is beneficial to reduce the possibility of condensed water overflowing the drain groove 14a.

[0089] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, there are multiple stop portions 14c, and at least some of the stop portions 14c are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0090] By providing a plurality of stoppers 14c, the hair debris stopping effect is improved, thereby further ensuring the drainage reliability of the drainage port 14b.

[0091] In one specific embodiment, see Figure 2 , some of the stoppers 14c form a first set, and some of the stoppers 14c form a second set, the stoppers 14c in the first set are arranged along the second direction, and the stoppers 14c in the second set are also arranged along the second direction, and along the orthographic projection of the first direction, the projections of the stoppers 14c in the first set and the projections of the stoppers 14c in the second set are staggered.

[0092] In the direction from the air inlet 12 to the air outlet 13, the first set is located upstream of the second set. After the condensed water flows through the first set, the stopper 14c in the first set has a certain stopping effect on the hair debris, and the hair debris in the condensed water flowing through the area between two adjacent stoppers 14c in the first set can be stopped by the stopper 14c in the second set. The stopper 14c in the first set works together with the stopper 14c in the second set, thereby further improving the hair debris stopping effect.

[0093] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4In one embodiment, a first blocking portion 15 extending along a first direction is protruded from the bottom wall of the oven bottom cover 10. The first blocking portion 15 is disposed between the first storage area 11 and the second storage area 14 and is located at one end close to the air inlet 12 along the first direction.

[0094] After the air flow enters the first storage area 11 through the air inlet 12, the side wall of the first blocking portion 15 facing the first storage area 11 along the second direction can produce a certain blocking and guiding effect on the air flow, thereby helping to guide the air flow to flow through the first storage area 11 along the first direction as much as possible, and further reduce the air flow rate entering the second storage area 14.

[0095] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, a second blocking portion 16 extending along the first direction is protruded from the bottom wall of the oven bottom cover 10. The second blocking portion 16 is disposed between the first storage area 11 and the second storage area 14 and is located at one end close to the drain port 14b along the first direction.

[0096] After the condensed water flows to the position of the drainage groove 14a close to one end of the air outlet 13, the second blocking portion 16 can have a certain blocking effect on the condensed water, thereby reducing the possibility of the condensed water entering the first storage area 11 and entering the cylinder assembly through the air outlet 13.

[0097] Please also read Figures 1 to 4 In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a heat pump module, which includes a heat exchanger 20, a throttling element 30 and a heat pump installation box according to any embodiment of the present application.

[0098] The heat exchanger 20 includes an evaporator 21 and a condenser 22.
