[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a filtering device 10, comprising: a box body 101, a first filtering component 102, a cleaning component 103 and a driving component.

[0053] The filter device 10 can filter impurities in the passing airflow according to the usage scenario.

[0054] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 The box body 101 has a top wall 101f, a bottom wall 101g, a storage space 101a, an air inlet 101b 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.

[0055] It should be noted that the top wall 101f and the bottom wall 101g of the box body 101 are respectively located on opposite sides of the box body 101 along the height direction. The height direction of the box body 101 can be understood as the same as the height direction of the laundry processing device 1 hereinafter.

[0056] 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 the airflow passing through the box body 101 can pass through the first filter assembly 102, and the first filter assembly 102 can intercept impurities in the airflow, so that the content of impurities in the airflow flowing out of the box body 101 is reduced.

[0057] The cleaning assembly 103 is movably disposed in the accommodating space 101 a.

[0058] The driving component is connected to the cleaning component 103, and is used to drive the cleaning component 103 to move, so that the cleaning component 103 contacts the first filter component 102 during the movement and cleans the first filter component 102 (hereinafter, the end of the cleaning component 103 that contacts the first filter component 102 is referred to as the cleaning end 103a). It can be understood that after the impurities in the airflow passing through the first filter component 102 are intercepted, some of the impurities are left on the first filter component 102, and the cleaning component 103 can scrape and clean the impurities accumulated on the first filter component 102 during the movement.

[0059] It should be noted that the specific structure of the driving component is not limited, as long as it can drive the cleaning component 103 to move.

[0060] The driving assembly has a force-applying structure 104, and the force-applying structure 104 is located outside the top wall 101f. It can be understood that the force-applying structure 104 is located outside the box body 101, which is convenient for the user to hold the force-applying structure 104 and exert force on the force-applying structure 104 to drive the force-applying structure 104 to move, so that the driving assembly drives the cleaning assembly 103 to move on the surface of the first filter assembly 102; in addition, it can save space inside the box body 101, leaving space for more airflow to enter the box body 101, thereby improving the filtering efficiency of the filtering device 10. In addition, the box body 101 provides installation support for the driving assembly.

[0061] The filter device 10 of the embodiment of the present application drives the cleaning component 103 to move through the driving component, so that the cleaning component 103 cleans the first filter component 102, so that the impurities such as hair scraps accumulated in the filter device 10 are cleaned, which improves the convenience of the user in cleaning the filter device 10. At the same time, since the force structure 104 is arranged outside the top wall 101f, the force structure 104 does not occupy the internal space of the box body 101, saving the internal space of the filter device 10. In addition, the force structure 104 basically does not occupy the size of the filter device 10 on the plane perpendicular to the height direction, which is conducive to the flat design of the box body 101 of the filter device 10.

[0062] In the filter device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the top wall 101f of the box body 101 has a relatively large area. Therefore, there is a large space above the top wall 101f to install and arrange the force-applying structure 104, so that the shape, size, etc. of the force-applying structure 104 can have greater design flexibility.

[0063] 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.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The box body 101 includes a side wall 101h, and the side wall 101h, the top wall 101f and the bottom wall 101g enclose a receiving space 101a, and the air inlet 101b and the air outlet 101c are respectively arranged on the side wall 101h on different sides. In this way, the area of ​​the side wall 101h 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 increase the flow of airflow, improve the filtering area and filtering efficiency. In addition, the air inlet 101b and the air outlet 101c do not occupy the area of ​​the top wall 101f, which can make the force-applying structure 104 have a larger movable space.

[0065] For example, please refer to Figure 8 The first end of the side wall 101h along the first direction is the first side wall 101h1, the first end along the second direction is the second side wall 101h2, the air inlet 101b is arranged on the first side wall 101h1, and the air outlet 101c is arranged on the second side wall 101h2.

[0066] 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 .

[0067] The structure of the drive assembly is not limited.

[0068] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The top wall 101f has a slit 101f1, the driving assembly is inserted into the slit 101f1 and can slide along the extending direction of the slit 101f1, and the cleaning assembly 103 is connected to the end of the driving assembly away from the force-applying structure 104. In other words, the cleaning assembly 103 is mounted on the driving assembly, and the motion trajectory of the portion of the driving assembly used to connect with the cleaning assembly 103 is substantially consistent with the motion trajectory of the cleaning assembly 103.

[0069] In this embodiment, the driving assembly can be a rigid member, that is, there can be no relative movement between any parts of the driving assembly. For example, the driving assembly can be a thin rod-shaped structure, or it can also be a strip-shaped thin plate structure. The cleaning assembly 103 can also be understood as being suspended below the driving assembly.

[0070] The specific structure of the drive assembly is not limited. For example, see Figure 8 In some embodiments, the entire drive assembly is arranged substantially perpendicular to the top wall 101f, and the entire drive assembly slides relative to the top wall 101f. In this embodiment, the structure of one end of the drive assembly extending out of the gap 101f1 can be understood as the force-applying structure 104 described above. In this embodiment, the drive assembly has a simple structure and high reliability.

[0071] In some other embodiments, please refer to Fig. 9 , the driving assembly also includes a sliding structure (not shown in the figure), the sliding structure is inserted into the gap 101f1, and the end of the force structure 104 away from the sliding structure is rotatably connected to the top wall 101f, and the rotation axis of the force structure 104 is perpendicular to the top wall 101f. That is, the force structure 104 can move in a plane parallel to the top wall 101f. In this embodiment, the force structure 104 is roughly a long strip structure, the cleaning assembly 103 is connected to the bottom end of the sliding structure, and the top end of the sliding structure extends to the top side of the top wall 101f and is connected to the force structure 104. In this way, the force structure 104 can drive the driving assembly to rotate around the rotation axis of the force structure 104 under the action of external force, thereby improving the user's convenience of operation. At the same time, the gap 101f1 can also constrain the movement trajectory of the force structure 104, reducing the possibility of damage to the cleaning assembly 103 due to user misoperation.

[0072] It should be noted that Fig. 9 The embodiment shown can be understood as: Figure 8 On the basis of the structure shown, a long strip structure parallel to the top wall 101f is added. In some embodiments, the filter device 10 also includes an elastic membrane (not shown in the figure), the elastic membrane covers the gap 101f1 and is provided with a slit (not shown in the figure), the drive component is inserted into the slit, and the elastic membrane keeps the slit in a closed state under the action of its own elastic force. It can be understood that when the drive component is not moving, the elastic membrane can seal the gap 101f1 to reduce the leakage of the airflow in the accommodating space 101a from the gap 101f1, thereby improving the filtering capacity of the filter device 10; when the drive component moves, the slit through which the drive component slides can be closed by the elastic membrane, so that the influence of the movement of the drive component at the gap 101f1 on the air tightness of the filter device 10 can be reduced.

[0073] It should be noted that Figure 8 and Fig. 9The gaps 101f1 of the structure shown can all be covered by the elastic film mentioned above. Figure 8 The filter device 10 also includes a rolling member 1042, and the rolling member 1042 is arranged on the force-applying structure 104. The top surface of the top wall 101f is provided with a slide rail 101f2, and the slide rail 101f2 is located on at least one side of the gap 101f1. The slide rail 101f2 extends along the extension direction of the gap 101f1, and the rolling member 1042 and the slide rail 101f2 are slidably matched. In this way, it is convenient for the force-applying structure 104 to drive the driving component to slide under the action of an external force. At the same time, the slide rail 101f2 can also constrain the movement trajectory of the force-applying structure 104, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the force-applying structure 104. In addition, the slide rail 101f2 can also prompt the user of the range of the movement trajectory of the force-applying structure 104, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the force-applying structure 104 due to exceeding the range of the movement trajectory.

[0074] It should be noted that the slide rail 101f2 does not penetrate the top wall 101f.

[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , the top wall 101f has a recessed area 101i, the driving assembly has an initial position, and in the initial position, the force-applying structure 104 is accommodated in the recessed area 101i. It can be understood that when the driving assembly is in the initial position, the degree to which the force-applying structure 104 protrudes from the outer surface of the box body 101 can be reduced, or the force-applying structure 104 does not protrude from the outer surface of the box body 101, thereby reducing the influence of the force-applying structure 104 on the external dimensions of the filter device 10, and also reducing the influence of the force-applying structure 104 on the pulling and pulling movement of the filter device 10.

[0076] It should be noted that when the filter device 10 is installed in place, for example, installed in the air duct 13a of the clothes processing device 1 and installed in place, the force-applying structure 104 is in the initial position. When the filter device 10 is pulled out, the force-applying structure 104 can be forced to move the force-applying structure 104 (at this time, the force-applying structure 104 is in a non-initial position) and drive the cleaning component 103 to move.

[0077] For example, please refer to Figure 6 When the driving assembly is in the initial position, the cleaning end 103a of the cleaning assembly 103 rests on the first filter assembly 102 and is located at an end close to the air inlet 101b. In this way, when the cleaning assembly 103 is not working, the obstruction of the cleaning assembly 103 to the air flow from the air inlet 101b to the air outlet 101c can be reduced.

[0078] In some embodiments, the force-applying structure 104 moves in the recessed area 101i. It is understandable that the force-applying structure 104 can always be in the recessed area 101i during the movement, which can reduce the impact of the force-applying structure 104 on the appearance of the filter device 10 during the movement, and can make the structure of the filter device 10 compact, which is convenient for the miniaturization design of the filter device 10.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The cleaning assembly 103 is rotatably connected to the box body 101. It is understandable that during the rotation of the cleaning assembly 103, the cleaning end 103a can maintain contact with the first filter assembly 102 to achieve cleaning of the first filter assembly 102.

[0080] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The cleaning component 103 includes a shaft mounting portion 1031, a frame 1032 and a brush head 1033, one end of the frame 1032 is connected to the shaft mounting portion 1031, and the brush head 1033 is arranged at one end of the frame 1032 away from the shaft mounting portion 1031, wherein the brush head 1033 is used to contact the first filter component 102 to clean the first filter component 102. It should be noted that the shaft mounting portion 1031 is rotatably connected to the box body 101, and the force-applying structure 104 can drive the shaft mounting portion 1031 to rotate, so that the brush head 1033 moves relative to the first filter component 102, thereby cleaning the first filter component 102.

[0081] Exemplarily, the rotation axis of the cleaning component 103 is parallel to the height direction of the box body 101. It is understandable that the cleaning component 103 rotates in a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the box body 101, and the movement trajectory of the cleaning component 103 does not occupy the space of the box body 101 along the height direction, which is conducive to the flat design of the box body 101.

[0082] For example, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first filter assembly 102 has at least an arc segment, and the cleaning assembly 103 and the air inlet 101b are located on the concave side of the arc segment. It can be understood that the arc segment of the first filter assembly 102 can increase the effective area of ​​the first filter assembly 102, thereby increasing the filtering area of ​​the first filter assembly 102 for the airflow, and at the same time, the airflow passing through the first filter assembly 102 increases, thereby improving the filtering efficiency of the first filter assembly 102.

[0083] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The driving assembly is rotatably connected to the box body 101. It is understandable that the driving assembly can rotate under the action of an external force, and the rotational movement of the driving assembly can drive the cleaning assembly 103 to rotate, so that the cleaning assembly 103 cleans the first filter assembly 102 during the rotation process.

[0084] It should be noted that the specific relationship between the rotation axis of the driving assembly and the rotation axis of the cleaning assembly 103 is not limited.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the rotation axis of the driving assembly is parallel to or coincides with the rotation axis of the cleaning assembly 103. It is understandable that the motion trajectories of the cleaning assembly 103 and the driving assembly can be in the same plane or in two parallel planes. In this way, it is beneficial for the filter device 10 to maintain a relatively small size in the direction perpendicular to the plane where the motion trajectories of the cleaning assembly 103 and the driving assembly are located, which is beneficial for the flat design of the filter device 10.

[0086] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the rotation axis of the cleaning component 103 intersects with the rotation axis of the driving component, wherein the rotation axis of the driving component is perpendicular to the height direction of the box body 101. It can be understood that the cleaning component 103 and the force-applying structure 104 move in two intersecting planes respectively, which can make the movement trajectories of the two larger, thereby increasing the cleaning area of ​​the cleaning component 103 during the movement.

[0087] Exemplarily, the filter device 10 further includes a reversing mechanism (not shown in the figure), which is used to convert the rotation of the drive assembly into the rotation of the cleaning assembly 103. In this way, when the rotation axis of the drive assembly and the rotation axis of the cleaning assembly 103 are not in the same direction, the drive assembly can drive the cleaning assembly 103 through the reversing mechanism, and the reversing mechanism can make the rotation axis of the cleaning assembly 103 and the drive assembly have a variety of positional relationships, which is conducive to the design flexibility of the drive assembly.

[0088] In some embodiments, one end of the driving assembly is rotatably connected to the reversing mechanism. It is understandable that the user can hold the force applying structure 104 to rotate the force applying structure 104 around one end thereof, and since the force applying structure 104 has a relatively long lever arm, the user can easily rotate the force applying structure 104.

[0089] The specific structure of the reversing mechanism is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, the reversing mechanism includes at least one bevel gear (not shown in the figure), and the first end of the driving component is provided with a tooth structure 1041, and the tooth structure 1041 is meshed with the bevel gear for transmission. In this way, when the driving component rotates under the action of an external force, the tooth structure 1041 located at the first end of the driving component can drive the bevel gear meshed therewith to rotate.

[0090] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 103 has a shaft mounting portion 1031, the shaft mounting portion 1031 is rotatably connected to the box body 101, the cleaning end 103a rotates around the shaft mounting portion 1031, and at least one bevel gear is coaxially arranged and connected to the shaft mounting portion 1031. It is understandable that the bevel gear can drive the cleaning assembly 103 to rotate around the axis of the shaft mounting portion 1031 to start the cleaning work of the first filter assembly 102.

[0091] It should be noted that the connection between the bevel gear and the rotating shaft mounting portion 1031 can be a plug-in connection or a welding connection, and the present application does not impose any limitation thereto.

[0092] In this embodiment, through the meshing transmission of the tooth structure 1041 and the bevel gear, 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 structure 104 and drives the force structure 104 to rotate, the force structure 104 and the tooth structure 1041 are similar to a lever structure. The force structure 104 has a relatively long lever arm. The user applies a relatively small force to form a large torque on the tooth structure 1041, so that the tooth structure 1041 reliably drives the bevel gear to rotate, which can save the user's physical strength.

[0093] In some embodiments, the transmission ratio of the tooth structure 1041 to the bevel gear connected to the shaft mounting portion 1031 is 1.0 to 2.0. In this way, the tooth structure 1041 can drive the bevel gear to rotate at a higher speed at a lower speed, so that the tooth structure 1041 can reliably drive the bevel gear to rotate, which can save the user's physical strength.

[0094] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 In the initial position, the first end of the driving assembly along the first direction is rotatably connected to the box body 101, the force-applying structure 104 is located at the second end of the driving assembly along the first direction, and the second end of the box body 101 along the first direction has a handle assembly 108. In this way, when the filter device 10 is installed in an object, the filter device 10 can be inserted into the object through the first end of the handle assembly 108 along the first direction; when the filter device 10 is pulled out of the object, the filter device 10 can be pulled out of the object through the second end of the handle assembly 108 along the first direction.

[0095] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the rotation axis of the force-applying structure 104, the first direction, and the height direction of the box body 101 are perpendicular to each other.

[0096] In this embodiment, when the filter device 10 is inserted into an object, the inner wall of the object will contact and squeeze the force-applying structure 104, so that the force-applying structure 104 of the driving assembly rotates toward the direction close to the box body 101 until the force-applying structure 104 returns to the initial position. In this way, the force-applying structure 104 can be reset during the insertion of the object, and the force-applying structure 104 can also be constrained to prevent the force-applying structure 104 from shifting.

[0097] For example, please refer to Figure 1 The filter device 10 includes a sealing structure 107, which is disposed outside the first 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 108 is pushed along the first end of 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.

[0098] 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).

[0099] Exemplarily, the maximum rotation angle of the drive assembly does not exceed 80°. It should be noted that the rotation angle of the drive assembly when it is in the initial position is 0°, and the angle between the drive assembly and the first direction of the box body 101 constitutes the rotation angle. In this way, the user can observe the angle between the drive assembly and the box body 101, so as to find out whether the drive assembly is in the initial position, avoid the visual illusion of the user caused by the rotation angle being too large, and reduce the possibility of user misoperation. At the same time, the activity area of ​​the drive assembly can be reduced, so that the filter device 10 has a compact structure.

[0100] It should be noted that the specific rotation direction of the drive assembly is not limited.

[0101] In some embodiments, when the force-applying structure 104 rotates in a direction away from the box body 101 , the rotation angle increases; and when the force-applying structure 104 rotates in a direction close to the box body 101 , the rotation angle decreases.

[0102] In some other embodiments, when the force-applying structure 104 rotates toward a direction close to the air outlet 101 c , the rotation angle increases; and when the force-applying structure 104 rotates toward a direction away from the air outlet 101 c , the rotation angle decreases.

[0103] For example, please refer to Figure 5 When the driving component moves and the rotation angle increases, the driving component drives the cleaning end 103a of the cleaning component 103 to move along the surface of the first filter component 102 toward the air inlet 101b close to the box body 101. It can be understood that when the driving component drives the cleaning component 103 to move, the cleaning end 103a can carry the impurities on the surface of the first filter component 102 toward the air inlet 101b, so as to clean the impurities out of the filter device 10 through the air inlet 101b.

[0104] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The first filter assembly 102 includes a first support frame 1021 and a first filter disposed on the first support frame 1021. In this way, the first support frame 1021 can provide support force for the first filter, so that the first filter maintains filtering capacity under the impact of airflow.

[0105] The bottom wall 101g and / or the top wall 101f of the box body 101 have positioning grooves adapted to the first support frame 1021. In this way, the positioning grooves enable the first support frame 1021 to be reliably installed in the box body 101, reduce the possibility of the first filter assembly 102 swinging under the impact of airflow, and improve the reliability and stability of the first support frame 1021; in addition, during the assembly process, the positioning grooves facilitate the rapid positioning of the first filter assembly 102, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0106] It can be understood that the positioning groove can be set in three ways: first, the bottom wall 101g of the box body 101 has a positioning groove adapted to the first support; second, the top wall 101f of the box body 101 has a positioning groove adapted to the first support frame 1021; third, the bottom wall 101g and the top wall 101f of the box body 101 both have positioning grooves adapted to the first support frame 1021.

[0107] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The filter device 10 further includes a second filter assembly 105. The second filter assembly 105 is disposed upstream of the air outlet 101c along the air flow direction, or the second filter assembly 105 is disposed 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.

[0108] 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.

[0109] 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.

[0110] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , the second filter component 105 can be pulled out of the box body 101 from one end of the box body 101 along the first direction. The pulling out of the box body 101 means that the second filter component 105 is completely separated from the box body 101, so that it is convenient for the user to remove the second filter component 105 by hand. In this embodiment, the handle component 108 will not interfere with the pulling out action of the second filter component 105, and the two do not interfere with each other; and when the filter device 10 is placed in the object, the side where the handle component 108 is located is generally the appearance surface, and the first end of the box body 101 along the first direction is reserved for the second filter component 105. The pulling out structure will not affect the appearance of the filter device 10; in addition, when the second filter component 105 is pulled out of the box body 101 along the first end of the first direction, the second filter component 105 can be pulled out of the box body 101 more conveniently by applying force along the second end of the first direction by the handle component 108.

[0111] For example, please refer to Figure 5 The second filter assembly 105 includes a second support frame 1051 and a second filter connected to the second support frame 1051. The second support frame 1051 can provide support force for the second filter so that the second filter maintains filtering capacity under the impact of airflow.

[0112] For example, please refer to Figure 5 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 second end of the box body 101 along the second direction through the guide rail groove 101d and the bayonet 101d1.

[0113] 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.

[0114] The present application embodiment provides a clothes processing device 1, please refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11 , including a cylinder assembly 11, a box body 12, a base 13 and a filtering device 10 of any of the above embodiments.

[0115] 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.

[0116] The base 13 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 arranged on the air flow path of the air duct 13a and can be pulled out of the box body 12 through the first opening 12a.

[0117] The clothing processing device 1 may be a clothes dryer, a washer-dryer, etc., and is not limited here.

[0118] 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.

[0119] 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.

[0120] 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.

[0121] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.10 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.

[0122] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.11, the air duct 13a has a docking port 13a1, the air inlet 101b of the box body 101 is arranged on the rear side wall of the box body 101, and the rear side wall of the box body 101 is sealed and docked with the docking port 13a1 along the first direction. It should be noted that the rear side wall of the box body 101 refers to the end of the box body 101 away from the handle assembly 108 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 rear side wall of the box body 101 and the docking port 13a1 are sealed and docked along the front-to-back direction, which reduces the leakage of the airflow in the process of flowing to the air inlet 101b.

[0123] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.11 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.

[0124] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without causing any contradiction.

[0125] 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.
