[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 4 A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a filtering device 10 , comprising: a box body 101 , a first filter assembly 102 and a cleaning assembly 103 .

[0045] The filter device 10 can filter impurities in the passing airflow according to the usage scenario.

[0046] The box body 101 has an air inlet 101b. It is understandable that the air flows into the box body 101 through the air inlet 101b, enters the inner space of the box body 101, and is filtered.

[0047] The first filter assembly 102 is disposed in the box body 101, and is used to filter the airflow passing through the box body 101. It is understandable that when the airflow passes through the box body 101, it is filtered by the first filter assembly 102 and then flows out of the box body 101. The first filter assembly 102 intercepts impurities in the airflow, so that the impurity content in the airflow flowing out of the box body 101 is reduced.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first filter assembly 102 includes an extruded section 102a, and one end of the extruded section 102a extends to the air inlet 101b.

[0049] The cleaning assembly 103 is movably arranged in the box body 101. In other words, the box body 101 provides installation space and installation support for the cleaning assembly 103.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 The cleaning component 103 includes a cleaning end 103a, which is used to squeeze and contact with the extrusion section 102a to clean the first filter assembly 102 when the cleaning component 103 moves toward the air inlet 101b, and enter the air inlet 101b from the extended end of the extrusion section 102a and is in a free state in the air inlet 101b.

[0051] It can be understood that after the impurities in the airflow flowing through the filter device 10 are intercepted, some of the impurities are retained on the first filter assembly 102, and the cleaning end 103a contacts the first filter assembly 102 during the movement of the cleaning assembly 103 to scrape and clean the impurities accumulated on the first filter assembly 102.

[0052] During the movement of the cleaning component 103, the cleaning end 103a pushes the impurities accumulated on the first filter assembly 102 to move. When the cleaning end 103a enters the air inlet 101b from the extended end of the extrusion section 102a, the cleaning end 103a enters a free state. Under the action of inertia, the cleaning end 103a easily ejects the impurities pushed by it from the air inlet 101b. Of course, the user can also pour out the impurities from the air inlet 101b. In addition, when the cleaning end 103a is located in the air inlet 101b and is in a free state, the cleaning end 103a is disengaged from the first filter assembly 102, so that the cleaning end 103a can be reversed without extrusion, and after reversing, it moves in the opposite direction away from the air inlet 101b. The free state can reduce the reversing resistance of the cleaning component 103, improve the smoothness of the reversing of the cleaning component 103, reduce the probability of stagnation, and reduce the possibility of damage to the cleaning end 103a due to extrusion reversing.

[0053] It should be noted that the free state refers to a state in which the cleaning end 103a is not acted upon by external force.

[0054] It should be noted that entering the air inlet 101b from the extended end of the extrusion section 102a and being in a free state in the air inlet 101b means that the position where the cleaning end 103a enters the free state is located in the air inlet 101b, but does not specifically refer to the moment and position when the cleaning end 103a enters the free state. For example, the cleaning end 103a may enter the free state at the junction of the air inlet 101b and the end of the extrusion section 102a, or may enter the free state after moving a certain distance in the air inlet 101b. There is no limitation here.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The cleaning assembly 103 has an end limit position, in which the cleaning end 103a is located inside the air inlet 101b. That is, in the end limit position, the cleaning end 103a will not extend from the air inlet 101b to the outside of the box body 101, so that the movement of the cleaning end 103a is limited, thereby preventing the cleaning end 103a from being damaged by other objects due to extending outside the box body 101.

[0056] It should be noted that the terminal limit position refers to the limit position to which the cleaning end 103a can move when it moves toward the side where the air inlet 101b is located in design.

[0057] It should be noted that the specific manner in which the cleaning end 103a enters the free state at the air inlet 101b is not limited.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The air inlet 101b has an air inlet side wall 101b1. Along the air inlet direction of the air inlet 101b, the air inlet side wall 101b1 includes a non-pressing section 101b2 and a sliding stroke section 101b3 for pressing and contacting with the cleaning end 103a. The non-pressing section 101b2 and the cleaning end 103a do not contact each other. In other words, the non-pressing section 101b2 does not interfere with the movement trajectory of the cleaning end 103a, and the cleaning end 103a will never contact the non-pressing section 101b2 during the movement.

[0059] The cleaning end 103a slides from the end of the extrusion section 102a to the sliding stroke section 101b3, and enters a free state at one end of the non-extrusion section 101b2 close to the sliding stroke section 101b3. It can be understood that when the cleaning end 103a enters the air inlet 101b, the cleaning end 103a maintains contact with the sliding stroke section 101b3 and slides on the sliding stroke section 101b3. When it moves to the junction of the non-extrusion section 101b2 and the sliding stroke section 101b3, the cleaning end 103a is disengaged from the air inlet side wall 101b1 and enters a free state. In this way, the cleaning end 103a can smoothly transition to a free state at the air inlet 101b, thereby improving the smoothness of movement of the cleaning component 103.

[0060] It should be noted that the air intake direction refers to the direction in which the air flows into the box body 101 through the air intake port 101 b.

[0061] Please note that, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 In the middle, d is the theoretical motion trajectory reference line of the end face of the cleaning end 103a in contact with the first filter assembly 102 in a free state, point c is the intersection of the motion trajectory reference line and the air intake side wall 101b1, the side of the air intake side wall 101b1 located at point c close to the first filter assembly 102 is the sliding stroke section 101b3, and the side of the air intake side wall 101b1 located at point c away from the first filter assembly 102 is the non-extrusion section 101b2.

[0062] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The cleaning end 103a slides from the end of the extrusion section 102a into the air inlet 101b and does not contact the air inlet side wall 101b1, so that the cleaning end 103a enters a free state when it is separated from the end of the extrusion section 102a. In this way, the air inlet 101b has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0063] For example, see Figure 1 The box body 101 has a storage space 101a and an air outlet 101c, and the storage space 101a is connected to the air inlet 101b and the air outlet 101c. It can be understood that the airflow entering the box body 101 flows into the storage space 101a through the air inlet 101b and then flows out through the air outlet 101c.

[0064] Exemplarily, the box body 101 may be a rectangular hollow structure, and the box body 101 forms the outer shell of the filter device 10 . The appearance of the box body 101 may be designed as required, and is not limited here.

[0065] It is understandable that the impurities cleaned by the cleaning component 103 can be poured out from the air inlet 101b and / or the air outlet 101c.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The box body 101 has a first side wall 101i, and one end of the first filter assembly 102 away from the air inlet 101b extends to the first side wall 101i. In this way, one end of the first filter assembly 102 extends to the air inlet 101b, and the other end extends to the first side wall 101i, which can intercept impurities in the airflow entering the box body 101 as much as possible, thereby improving the filtering performance of the filtering device 10.

[0067] The cleaning assembly 103 has an initial limit position, in which the cleaning assembly 103 abuts against the first side wall 101i. Thus, when the airflow flows from the air inlet 101b through the first filter assembly 102 to the air outlet 101c, the cleaning assembly 103 is not likely to hinder the flow of the airflow.

[0068] Exemplarily, during the movement of the cleaning component 103, the cleaning component 103 moves between the initial limit position and the terminal limit position, that is, the cleaning end 103a of the cleaning component 103 moves toward the direction close to the air inlet 101b. After reaching the terminal limit position, the cleaning end 103a is disengaged from the first filter assembly 102 and enters a free state, pushing out impurities from the air inlet 101b. The cleaning end 103a then changes direction and moves in a direction away from the air inlet 101b. After returning to the initial limit position, the cleaning end 103a changes direction and moves in a direction close to the air inlet 101b, and the cycle continues. During the reciprocating movement of the cleaning component 103, impurities such as hair debris accumulated on the first filter assembly 102 are pushed toward the air inlet 101b and gathered. The impurities are pushed to the end close to the air inlet 101b by the cleaning end and discharged from the air inlet 101b.

[0069] During cleaning, the number of movements of the cleaning component 103 is not limited, and the user can decide based on actual usage needs.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first filter assembly 102 includes an avoidance section 102b, which is connected to the end of the extrusion section 102a away from the air inlet 101b. The avoidance section 102b and the cleaning end 103a do not contact each other, so that the cleaning end 103a is in a free state at the avoidance section 102b. It can be understood that when the cleaning end 103a moves to the avoidance section 102b, the cleaning end 103a is out of contact with the first filter assembly 102, so that the reversal can be performed without extrusion, which can reduce the possibility of damage to the cleaning end 103a due to extrusion reversal.

[0071] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9The extrusion section 102a at least includes an arc sub-segment 102a1, the cleaning assembly 103 is rotatably connected to the box body 101, the air inlet 101b and the cleaning assembly 103 are located on the concave side of the arc sub-segment 102a1, and the arc sub-segment 102a1 is arranged concentrically with the rotation axis of the cleaning assembly 103. It can be understood that the arc sub-segment 102a1 increases the effective area of ​​the first filter assembly 102, increases the filtering area of ​​the first filter assembly 102 for the airflow, and at the same time increases the airflow passing through the first filter assembly 102, thereby improving the filtering efficiency of the first filter assembly 102.

[0072] The cleaning assembly 103 is rotatably connected to the box body 101, and the cleaning end 103a is kept in contact with the surface of the first filter assembly 102 during the rotation around the rotation axis of the cleaning assembly 103. It can be understood that during the rotation of the cleaning assembly 103, the rotation trajectory of the cleaning end 103a is adapted to the contour of the arc sub-segment 102a1, so that the cleaning end 103a can clean the first filter assembly 102.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The end of the arc sub-segment 102a1 extends to one end of the air inlet side wall 101b1. In this way, during the rotation of the cleaning assembly 103, the cleaning end 103a can enter the air inlet 101b along the end of the arc sub-segment 102a1, so that the cleaning end 103a enters a free state, so that the cleaning end 103a can smoothly enter a free state during the rotation.

[0074] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The air inlet side wall 101b1 is tangent to the end of the arc sub-segment 102a1. In this way, the cleaning end 103a can move smoothly between the air inlet side wall 101b1 and the arc sub-segment 102a1.

[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9The extrusion section 102a includes an inclined extension section 102a2, which is connected to the end of the arc sub-segment 102a1 near the air inlet 101b, and the inclined extension section 102a2 extends obliquely from the end of the arc sub-segment 102a1 toward the convex side of the arc sub-segment 102a1 to the air inlet 101b. It can be understood that along the inclined extension section 102a2 to the direction close to the air inlet 101b, the distance between the inclined extension section 102a2 and the rotation axis of the cleaning component 103 increases gradually. When the cleaning component 103 moves in the direction close to the air inlet 101b, the friction force generated by the extrusion contact between the cleaning end 103a and the inclined extension section 102a2 gradually decreases, and the impurities pushed on the cleaning end 103a can be smoothly pushed out from the air inlet 101b, and the smoothness of the movement of the cleaning component 103 can be improved, which is convenient for operation.

[0076] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The inclined extension section 102a2 is tangent to the end of the arc sub-segment 102a1. In this way, the cleaning end 103a can smoothly transition between the inclined extension section 102a2 and the arc sub-segment 102a1, which can improve the smoothness of the movement of the cleaning end 103a on the first filter assembly 102.

[0077] Exemplarily, the air inlet 101b and the air outlet 101c are respectively arranged on the side walls of different sides of the box body 101. In this way, the area of ​​the side wall of the box body 101 can be fully utilized, so that the area of ​​the air inlet 101b and the air outlet 101c are respectively larger, which can not only increase the flow rate of the air flow, but also improve the filtering area and filtering efficiency.

[0078] For details, please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 The box body 101 has a first side wall 101i and a second side wall 101h at two opposite ends along the second direction, a third side wall 101g at the first end along the first direction, an air inlet 101b is arranged on the third side wall 101g, an air outlet 101c is arranged on the second side wall 101h, and an end of the cleaning component 103 away from the cleaning end 103a is arranged on the first side wall 101i. In this way, the structure of the filter device 10 is compact and the range of movement of the cleaning component 103 can be increased.

[0079] It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction intersect and are both perpendicular to the height direction of the box body 101 .

[0080] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1, the first filter assembly 102 includes a first support frame 1021 and a first filter 1022 disposed on the first support frame 1021. In this way, the first support frame 1021 can provide support force for the first filter 1022, so that the first filter 1022 maintains filtering capacity under the impact of airflow.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 , the bottom wall and / or the top wall of the box body 101 has a positioning groove 101f adapted to the first support frame 1021. In this way, the positioning groove 101f enables the first support frame 1021 to be reliably installed in the box body 101, reduces the possibility of the first filter assembly 102 swinging under the impact of airflow, and improves the reliability and stability of the first support frame 1021; in addition, during the assembly process, the positioning groove 101f facilitates the rapid positioning of the first filter assembly 102, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0082] It can be understood that the setting of the positioning groove 101f includes three ways: the first is that the bottom wall of the box body 101 has a positioning groove 101f that is compatible with the first support; the second is that the top wall of the box body 101 has a positioning groove 101f that is compatible with the first support frame 1021; the third is that both the bottom wall and the top wall of the box body 101 have a positioning groove 101f that is compatible with the first support frame 1021.

[0083] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The filter device 10 further includes a force member 104, which is at least partially disposed outside the box body 101, and the force member 104 is used to drive the cleaning assembly 103 to move. In this way, the cleaning assembly 103 is driven to move by the force member 104, so that the cleaning assembly 103 can clean the first filter assembly 102.

[0084] During cleaning, the number of movements of the cleaning component 103 is not limited, and the user can decide based on actual usage needs.

[0085] The force member 104 can be moved in any manner. For example, in some embodiments, the force member 104 has a power source, such as a motor, and can be automatically driven without the user applying force. In other embodiments, the force member 104 is a non-powered mechanism, and the user needs to manually apply force to the force member 104 to force the force member 104 to move, thereby driving the cleaning assembly 103 to move through the force member 104.

[0086] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The force-applying member 104 is located outside the box body 101 and can move relative to the box body 101 under the action of external force. In this way, it is convenient for the user to apply external force to the force-applying member 104 from the outside, and at the same time, it also saves the internal space of the box body 101, leaving space for more airflow to enter the box body 101, thereby improving the filtering efficiency of the filter device 10.

[0087] The force applying member 104 may move relative to the box body 101 in any manner, for example, relative sliding, relative rotation, etc., which is not limited here.

[0088] Exemplarily, the first end of the force applying member 104 is the force applying end 104a, and the second end of the force applying member 104 is rotatably connected to the box body 101. Therefore, the user can hold the force applying end 104a to make the force applying member 104 swing around its second end.

[0089] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The force member 104 is disposed on the outside of the first side wall 101i, and the outer surface of the first side wall 101i has a recessed area 101i1. In the initial position, the force member 104 is accommodated in the recessed area 101i1. It can be understood that when the cleaning assembly 103 is in the initial position, the degree to which the force member 104 protrudes from the outer surface of the box body 101 can be reduced, or the force member 104 does not protrude from the outer surface of the box body 101, thereby reducing the influence of the force member 104 on the external dimensions of the filter device, and also reducing the influence of the force member 104 on the pulling and pulling movement of the filter device 10.

[0090] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The filter device 10 includes a transmission assembly 106, which connects the force member 104 and the cleaning assembly 103. The force member 104 can drive the cleaning assembly 103 to rotate through the transmission assembly 106. It can be understood that the force member 104 can rotate under the action of an external force, and drive the cleaning assembly 103 to rotate through the transmission assembly 106, so as to clean the first filter assembly 102.

[0091] The specific structure of the transmission component 106 is not limited, as long as it can transmit the power of the force-applying member 104 to the cleaning component 103 and drive the cleaning component 103 to rotate.

[0092] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The transmission assembly 106 includes at least one gear 1061. The second end of the force-applying member 104 is provided with a tooth structure 1041, and the tooth structure 1041 is meshed with the gear 1061 of the transmission assembly 106 for transmission. In this way, when the force-applying member 104 moves under the action of an external force, the tooth structure 1041 drives the gear 1061 meshed therewith to move, thereby driving the transmission assembly 106 to move, and then driving the cleaning assembly 103 to move, and starting the cleaning work of the first filter assembly 102. In this embodiment, through the meshing transmission of the tooth structure 1041 and the gear 1061, the transmission reliability and transmission efficiency are high, it is not easy to slip, and the failure rate is low. In this embodiment, when the user holds the force-applying end 104a and drives the force-applying member 104 to rotate, the force-applying member 104 and the tooth structure 1041 are similar to a lever structure, and the force-applying member 104 has a relatively long lever arm. The user can apply a relatively small force to form a large torque on the tooth structure 1041, so that the tooth structure 1041 can reliably drive the gear 1061 to rotate, which can save the user's physical strength.

[0093] For example, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The cleaning assembly 103 has a shaft mounting portion 1031, a gear 1061 is coaxially connected to the shaft mounting portion 1031, and the force member 104 rotates around the axis of the tooth structure 1041, and the tooth structure 1041 is meshed with the gear 1061. It can be understood that when the force member 104 rotates around the tooth structure 1041, the tooth structure 1041 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the gear 1061 meshed therewith to rotate, and then the gear 1061 drives the cleaning assembly 103 to rotate around the axis of the shaft mounting portion 1031, so that the force member 104 drives the cleaning assembly 103 to rotate, and the transmission efficiency is high and the failure rate is low.

[0094] It should be noted that the gear 1061 and the shaft mounting portion 1031 can be coaxially connected by plugging, welding, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0095] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The box body 101 includes a guide plate 108, which is disposed outside the box body 101 and defines a guide slot 101e together with the outer surface of the box body 101. A portion of the force-applying member 104 is constrained in the guide slot 101e and can slide in the guide slot 101e. In this way, the guide slot 101e constrains the movement trajectory of the force-applying member 104 under the action of an external force, so that the force-applying member 104 always maintains a connection relationship with the box body 101 when sliding.

[0096] The tooth structure 1041 is constructed as a rack structure and is arranged on the side of the force member 104 facing the transmission assembly 106, and the rack structure is meshed with the gear 1061 for transmission. It can be understood that when the force member 104 performs linear motion under the action of external force, the rack structure remains meshed with the gear 1061, converting the linear motion of the force member 104 into the rotation of the gear 1061, thereby driving the cleaning assembly 103 to rotate and realize the cleaning of the first filter assembly 102. At the same time, the tooth structure 1041 is constructed as a rack structure, so that the force member 104 can be roughly flat, which is convenient for the force member 104 to fit on the outer surface of the side wall of the box body 101, making the structure compact.

[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.10 The cleaning assembly 103 includes a skeleton structure 1032 and a flexible scraper 1033. The flexible scraper 1033 is connected to one end of the skeleton structure 1032. During the movement of the cleaning assembly 103, the flexible scraper 1033 can be elastically deformed so as to abut against the surface of the first filter assembly 102 under its own elastic force. It can be understood that during the movement of the cleaning assembly 103, the part of the flexible scraper 1033 abutting against the first filter assembly 102 can push the impurities accumulated on the first filter assembly 102 to move, and the elastic force of the flexible scraper 1033 itself can increase the friction between it and the first filter assembly 102, thereby improving the cleaning degree of the first filter assembly 102 during the movement of the flexible scraper 1033.

[0098] It should be noted that the portion of the flexible scraper 1033 that abuts against the first filter assembly 102 is the aforementioned cleaning end 103a.

[0099] It should be noted that in the embodiment where the cleaning component 103 has a shaft mounting portion 1031 , the shaft mounting portion 1031 is a component of the skeleton structure 1032 and is located at an end away from the flexible scraper 1033 for rotational connection with the box body 101 .

[0100] It should be noted that, in the embodiment where the first filter assembly 102 includes the above-mentioned inclined extension section 102a2 and the arc sub-segment 102a1, during the movement of the flexible scraper 1033 on the surface of the arc segment, the degree of elastic deformation of the flexible scraper 1033 remains basically unchanged, and during the movement of the flexible scraper 1033 in the inclined extension section 102a2 and toward the air inlet 101b, the degree of elastic deformation of the flexible scraper 1033 gradually decreases until the flexible scraper 1033 at the air inlet 101b has no elastic deformation at all.

[0101] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2The filter device 10 further includes a second filter assembly 105. Along the airflow direction, the second filter assembly 105 is arranged upstream of the air outlet 101c, or the second filter assembly 105 is arranged at the air outlet 101c. In this way, the airflow flowing out of the accommodation space 101a needs to pass through the second filter assembly 105 before flowing out through the air outlet 101c, so that the airflow filtered by the first filter assembly 102 is filtered for the second time by the second filter assembly 105, further improving the filtering effect of the filter device 10.

[0102] Exemplarily, the second filter assembly 105 is detachably connected to the box body 101. In this way, it is convenient to remove the second filter assembly 105 from the box body 101, so as to facilitate replacement, cleaning, or maintenance of the second filter assembly 105.

[0103] The second filter assembly 105 and the box body 101 may be detachably connected in any manner, such as screw connection, sliding connection, snap connection, etc., which are not limited here.

[0104] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , the second filter assembly 105 can be pulled out of the box body 101 from one end of the box body 101 in the first direction. Wherein, pulling out the box body 101 means that the second filter assembly 105 is completely separated from the box body 101, so that it is convenient for the user to disassemble the second filter assembly 105 by hand.

[0105] For example, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The box body 101 has a handle assembly 110 along the second end along the first direction. In this way, when the filter device 10 is installed in the object, the filter device 10 can be pulled out of the object through the handle assembly 110.

[0106] Exemplarily, the filter device 10 further includes a hand buckle and a locking member disposed on the handle assembly 110, the locking member and the hand buckle are connected, the locking member is used to lock the filter device 10 on the object, and the hand buckle is used to drive the locking member to move between the unlocking position and the locking position under the action of an external force. It is understandable that when the locking member is in the locking position, a restraining effect is generated between the filter device 10 and the object, limiting the relative movement between the filter device 10 and the object, so that the filter device 10 is fixed on the object at this time, reducing the influence of the airflow in the air duct 13a on the filter device 10, and improving safety and reliability.

[0107] For example, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The filter device 10 includes a sealing structure 107, which is disposed outside the second end of the box body 101 in the first direction and surrounds the air inlet 101b. It can be understood that when the handle assembly 110 is pushed along the first direction, the docking effect between the air inlet 101b and the sealing structure 107 is enhanced, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing structure 107.

[0108] It can be understood that after the filter device 10 is installed on the object, the sealing structure 107 seals the gap between the filter device 10 and the object, thereby improving the waterproof level of the connection between the filter device 10 and the object. For example, the waterproof level can reach IP65 (full name: Ingress Protection 65, which means completely dustproof and can prevent jet water intrusion).

[0109] In the embodiment where the box body 101 has a handle assembly 110, it can be understood that the handle assembly 110 and the air inlet 101b are respectively arranged at the two ends of the box body 101 along the first direction. In this embodiment, the handle assembly 110 will not interfere with the extraction action of the second filter assembly 105, and the two do not interfere with each other; and when the filter device 10 is placed in an object, the side where the handle assembly 110 is located is generally the appearance surface, and the extraction structure reserved for the second filter assembly 105 at the first end of the box body 101 along the first direction will not affect the appearance of the filter device 10; in addition, when the second filter assembly 105 is extracted from the box body 101 along the first end of the first direction, the second filter assembly 105 can be more conveniently extracted from the box body 101 by applying force along the second end of the first direction through the handle assembly 110.

[0110] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The second filter assembly 105 includes a second support frame 1051 and a second filter 1052 connected to the second support frame 1051. The second support frame 1051 can provide support for the second filter 1052 so that the second filter 1052 maintains filtering capacity under the impact of airflow.

[0111] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The box body 101 has a guide rail groove 101d adapted to the second support frame 1051, and the second support frame 1051 is arranged in the guide rail groove 101d. The guide rail groove 101d extends along the second direction and passes through the end surface of the box body 101 and defines a bayonet 101d1. The bayonet 101d1 is used to pull the second support frame 1051 out of the guide rail groove 101d, and the second filter assembly 105 is pulled out from the first end of the box body 101 along the second direction through the guide rail groove 101d and the bayonet 101d1.

[0112] The application scenarios of the filter device 10 in the embodiment of the present application are not limited. The embodiment of the present application is described by taking the application of the filter device 10 to the laundry processing device 1 as an example. It is understandable that the filter device 10 can also be applied to other products.

[0113] The present application embodiment provides a clothes processing device 1, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , including a cylinder assembly 11, a box body 12, a base 13 and a filtering device 10 of any of the above embodiments.

[0114] The drum assembly 11 has a laundry processing chamber 11a, an air inlet and an air outlet. The drum assembly 11 is disposed in a box 12, and the box 12 has a first port 12a.

[0115] The base 13 is disposed above the barrel assembly 11, and has an air duct 13a, which communicates with the air inlet and the air outlet to form a circulation air duct 13a with the laundry processing chamber 11a. The filter device 10 is movably disposed on the air flow path of the air duct 13a, and can be pulled out of the box 12 through the first port 12a.

[0116] The clothing processing device 1 may be a clothes dryer, a washer-dryer, etc., and is not limited here.

[0117] Exemplarily, the principle of drying clothes in the clothes processing device 1 is as follows: the dry hot air flow in the air duct 13a enters the clothes processing chamber 11a from the downstream of the air duct 13a along the air flow direction through the air inlet. In the clothes processing chamber 11a, 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. The humid hot air flow enters the upstream of the air duct 13a through the air outlet, and flows through the condensation dehumidification component and the heating component in turn. In the process of flowing through the condensation dehumidification component, the water vapor in the humid hot air flow is separated from the air flow due to the cooling and condenses into water droplets. The humid hot air flow is condensed and dehumidified by the condensation dehumidification component to form a low-temperature dry air flow. The low-temperature dry air flow is heated to a dry hot air flow when passing through the heating component. The dry hot air flow enters the clothes processing chamber 11a from the downstream of the air duct 13a again, and the cycle is run in this way to achieve continuous and efficient drying of clothes.

[0118] It should be noted that the low-temperature dry airflow is relative to the humid hot airflow, and the temperature of the low-temperature dry airflow is lower than that of the humid hot airflow. The low temperature in the embodiment of the present application may be room temperature.

[0119] In some embodiments, the condensation and dehumidification element may be an evaporator 15 in a heat pump system, and the heating element may be a condenser 16 in a heat pump system. In other embodiments, the condensation and dehumidification element may condense and dehumidify the airflow through condensed water, and the heating element may be a resistance wire heater.

[0120] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The laundry processing device 1 includes a detergent box 14, and the filter device 10 is located above the detergent box 14. In this way, the arrangement of the filter device 10 fits the user's usage habits and improves the user's usage experience.

[0121] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 , the air duct 13a has a docking port 13a1, the air inlet 101b of the box body 101 is arranged on the third side wall 101g of the box body 101, and the third side wall 101g of the box body 101 is sealed and docked with the docking port 13a1 along the front-to-back direction. It should be noted that the third side wall 101g of the box body 101 refers to the end of the box body 101 away from the handle assembly 110 along the first direction. It can be understood that the airflow flows to the air inlet 101b through the docking port 13a1 of the air duct 13a and enters the filter device 10 for filtering treatment. The third side wall 101g of the box body 101 is sealed and docked with the docking port 13a1 along the front-to-back direction, which reduces the leakage of the airflow in the process of flowing to the air inlet 101b.

[0122] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The base 13 has a transition cavity 13b, a first installation cavity 13c and a second installation cavity 13d, the filter device 10 is arranged in the first installation cavity 13c, the clothing processing device 1 includes an evaporator 15 and a condenser 16, the evaporator 15 and the condenser 16 are arranged in the second installation cavity 13d, and the transition cavity 13b is connected to the air outlet. The transition cavity 13b is arranged on the rear side of the first installation cavity 13c, and the junction between the two defines a docking port 13a1. It can be understood that the airflow is filtered by the filter device 10 and then flows to the evaporator 15 and the condenser 16, so that the amount of hair attached to the evaporator 15 and the condenser 16 is reduced, and the heat exchange effect between the airflow and the evaporator 15 and the condenser 16 is improved.

[0123] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without causing any contradiction.

[0124] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
