[0040] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial technical effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and multiple exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the principles of the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] Figure 1 A schematic three-dimensional diagram of a clothing care cabinet according to an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model is shown. Figure 2 A schematic perspective view of a clothing care cabinet according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the clothing care cabinet includes a housing 1 and a door 2. The housing 1 has an opening 11, and the door 2 is used to open and close the opening 11. The housing 1 defines a care cavity 12, and clothing can be cared for in the care cavity 12. In order to achieve at least one clothing care function, the clothing care cabinet includes a care atmosphere generating device, which is used to establish a care atmosphere in the care cavity 12.
[0043] Here, the care atmosphere may be an atmosphere that can remove wrinkles, dry, sterilize and / or deodorize the clothes in it. Specifically, the care atmosphere generating device may include but is not limited to a drying device, a humidifying device, a fragrance device and a sterilizing device. The care atmosphere generating device may be arranged inside and / or outside the care cavity 12. For example, a sterilization device may be provided in the care cavity 12 to sterilize the clothes in the care cavity 12, and the sterilization device may be, for example, an ultraviolet sterilization device. In addition, a fragrance device or a deodorizing device may also be provided in the care cavity 12 to remove the odor of the clothes.
[0044] Exemplarily and preferably, the care atmosphere generating device includes a fluid supply unit for supplying care fluid to the care cavity 12. The fluid supply unit is particularly arranged outside the care cavity 12. Considering that during clothing care, the care atmosphere generating device arranged inside the care cavity 12 will also be immersed in the care atmosphere, which may have an adverse effect on the function and service life of the care atmosphere generating device itself. Therefore, using a fluid supply unit that supplies care fluid to the care cavity 12 to establish a care atmosphere can save the internal space of the care cavity 12, and make the configuration and maintenance of the care atmosphere generating device simpler, which is conducive to the functional stability of the care atmosphere generating device.
[0045] Further, the fluid supply unit may include a first fluid supply component, the first fluid supply component includes an air inlet 41 and an air return port 42, and forms an air flow loop suitable for the first care fluid with the care cavity 12 by means of the air inlet 41 and the air return port 42. Preferably, the air inlet 41 and the air return port 42 are relatively arranged on both sides of the care cavity 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the air inlet 41 is arranged at the top of the care cavity 12, and the air return port 42 is arranged at the bottom of the care cavity 12. In this way, the care fluid can flow from one side of the care cavity 12 to the opposite side through the entire care cavity 12 to establish a care atmosphere in the entire care cavity 12, thereby facilitating clothing care.
[0046] Exemplarily, the first fluid supply assembly can supply dry gas (e.g., air) to the care cavity 12 for drying the clothes in the care cavity 12. Additionally, the first fluid supply assembly can include a heating device for heating the gas to be supplied to the care cavity 12, and the heated gas can accelerate the drying process or drying process of the clothes. Specifically, the heater can be arranged above the care cavity 12, and the dry gas heated by the heater can enter the care cavity 12 through the air inlet 41 arranged at the top of the care cavity 12, and the gas flows downward along the height of the care cavity 12, and leaves the care cavity 12 through the return air port 42 arranged at the bottom of the care cavity 12, and enters the condenser arranged below the care cavity 12. After the gas is condensed, the moisture therein is formed into a condensed liquid and discharged from the clothing care cabinet via the discharge assembly. The dry gas with the moisture removed can be resupplied to the heater through the return air pipeline, thereby realizing the recycling of the dry gas. In addition, it can be imagined that the first fluid supply assembly can also include corresponding connecting pipelines, fans, valve bodies, coolers, and other necessary or optional components such as air inlets and outlets connected to the outside world.
[0047] Further, the fluid supply unit may also include a second fluid supply component, which includes a supply port 43, and the second care fluid supplied by the second fluid supply component is supplied to the care cavity 12 via the supply port 43. The second care fluid may be steam, fragrance gas, ozone, etc., and accordingly, the second fluid supply component may be regarded as a humidifying device, a fragrance device, a sterilizing device, etc. In the illustrated embodiment, the supply port 43 is arranged at the bottom of the care cavity 12, considering that the device for generating the second care fluid may preferably be arranged in the space below the care cavity 12, thereby conveniently arranging the pipeline leading to the supply port 43 in the second fluid supply component.
[0048] The clothing care cabinet according to the present invention particularly comprises a partition structure 3 for partitioning the inner space of the care cavity 12 into a plurality of subspaces 121 , at least one of the plurality of subspaces 121 being configured to be suitable for establishing a care atmosphere through a care atmosphere generating device.
[0049] For example, in Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the partition structure 3 can divide the care cavity 12 into a front subspace and a rear subspace along the depth direction thereof. When there are fewer clothes to be cared for, only the front subspace can be used for clothes care, while the rear subspace can be idle or used to store clothes.
[0050] Since during the clothing care operation, the care fluid only needs to fill the subspace, the subspace with reduced spatial volume can improve the clothing care efficiency with the same amount of care fluid (such as steam or air volume) compared to the entire care cavity 12, thereby advantageously shortening the clothing care time.
[0051] Additionally or illustratively, the care atmosphere generating device may also be configured to be suitable for establishing a care atmosphere separately in each of the plurality of subspaces 121. In this way, each subspace 121 may be used for clothing care operations. Here, it may include that each subspace 121 performs a plurality of clothing care operations in parallel, or it may include designing a dedicated clothing care operation for a specific subspace 121.
[0052] For example, in Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, when the care cavity 12 is divided into a front subspace and a rear subspace, clothes drying operation can be performed in the front subspace, and clothes ironing operation can be performed in parallel (at least partially overlapping) in the rear subspace. Thus, the clothes care cabinet can meet different clothes care needs at the same time within a period of time, so that users can concentrate on clothes care and shorten the clothes care time. Of course, the front and rear subspaces can also be used for the same clothes care operation.
[0053] For another example, the front subspace can be designed to be used exclusively for clothes drying operations, and the rear subspace can be designed to be used exclusively for clothes ironing operations. Thus, when the user only needs to dry clothes, the clothes can be hung in the front subspace that is about to be formed or has been formed; and when the user only needs to iron clothes, the clothes can be hung in the rear subspace that is about to be formed or has been formed.
[0054] In order to establish the desired care atmosphere in a single subspace, it is necessary to arrange a care atmosphere generating device corresponding to the subspace.
[0055] Specifically, the air inlet 41, the air return port 42 and the supply port 43 can be arranged on the same side of the nursing cavity 12 (on the Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the air inlet 41, the air return outlet 42 and the air supply outlet 43 are all located in one subspace 121 (at the front side). Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, it is the front subspace), so that clothes care can be performed in this subspace 121. Figure 2In the embodiment shown, the rear subspace has no corresponding air inlet 41, return air outlet 42 and supply outlet 43, so it can be idle or used to store clothes. Here, the relative position relationship between the air inlet 41, return air outlet 42 and supply outlet 43 is not specifically limited. The three can be offset to the left and right in the lateral direction of the care cavity 12, or can be offset to the front and back in the depth direction of the care cavity 12.
[0056] Additionally or alternatively, an air inlet 41 and an air return port 42 may be provided for each subspace 121 to be formed, so that the first fluid supply assembly can form an independent airflow circuit with each subspace 12 by means of multiple air inlets 41 and multiple air return ports 42. To this end, an air inlet duct and an air return duct that guide the first fluid in and out of the subspace 121 in the first fluid supply assembly may be provided accordingly (partial overlap may be provided between multiple air inlet ducts or multiple air return ducts), and valve bodies may be provided additionally for these ducts to individually control the connection and closing of these ducts. By controlling these valve bodies, the first care fluid may be supplied to at least one specific subspace among the multiple subspaces 121 to perform corresponding clothing care in the specific subspace. Additionally, a corresponding supply port 43 may be provided for each subspace 121. Thus, the second care fluid supplied by the second fluid supply assembly may enter each subspace 121 through the supply port 43. Optionally, different second fluid supply assemblies may be provided for different subspaces 121, so that the second care fluid supplied by each second fluid supply assembly can be supplied to different subspaces 121 via different supply ports 43. In this way, different clothing care operations may be implemented in different subspaces 121. The corresponding second fluid supply assembly may be selected and arranged according to the preset clothing care operation of each subspace 121. Similarly, the pipeline leading to the supply port 43 may also be controlled by the valve body.
[0057] The control of these valve bodies is carried out automatically in particular after the subspace 121 for laundry care and optionally the laundry care operation of the subspace has been determined.
[0058] Thus, when the user needs to dry clothes, the user can be prompted to hang clothes in the front subspace; and when the user needs to iron clothes, the user can be prompted to hang clothes in the rear subspace. The prompt is pushed to the user before the partition structure 3 is unfolded or opened and after the user provides the clothing care demand to the clothing care cabinet. Thus, the clothing care cabinet according to the embodiment of the utility model can have more flexible and diverse usage scenarios.
[0059] In the embodiment of the utility model, the partition structure 3 may include two partitions 31 configured to be split. Exemplarily, the two partitions 31 can separate the care cavity 12 by relative movement to abut each other's edges when in use, and can be retracted in opposite directions when not in use. Alternatively, the partition structure 3 may also include a single partition 31 configured to be split.
[0060] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a partition structure according to an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model is shown. Figure 4 Shows Figure 3 An enlarged exploded view of the partition structure in FIG. The partition structure shown is designed in the form of a rolling shutter door.
[0061] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the partition structure 3 also includes a motor and a rotating shaft 32 and a pair of guide rails 33, and the partition body 31 is configured to be suitable for moving along the guide rails 33 by the drive of the motor and the rotating shaft 32. In the embodiment shown, the motor and the rotating shaft are integrated and arranged at the top of the care cavity 12. In this way, the arrangement of the drive unit of the partition structure 3 can be simplified and the occupation of the care cavity 12 can be reduced. Additionally, the motor and the rotating shaft 32 can be arranged in a separate chamber above the care cavity 12, that is, the separate chamber is separated from the care cavity 12 by a partition, and the partition body 31 can extend into the care cavity 12 through a matching opening in the partition. Thereby, the functional stability of the motor and the rotating shaft 32 can be facilitated. In addition, in this embodiment, the partition structure 3 can also be installed in the above-mentioned separate chamber as a separate module, and the module has a shell, and the bottom of the shell has an opening to allow the partition body 31 to extend out of the shell. The opening of the shell is aligned with the opening of the partition, so that the partition 31 can extend into the care cavity 12 when unfolded, and can leave the care cavity 12 and be stored in the shell when folded. Thus, the partition structure 3 can be manufactured, installed and replaced as a separate module.
[0062] The guide rails 33 may be two substantially parallel guide rails 33 respectively arranged on two opposite side walls of the care cavity 12, so as to stably guide the partition 31 to move downward or upward to be unfolded or retracted along the extension direction of the guide rails 33. In particular, the guide rails 33 can extend from one side (e.g., the top) of the care cavity 12 to the opposite side (e.g., the bottom) thereof when unfolded.
[0063] For example, Figure 4As shown, when the partition structure 3 is designed as a rolling door, the partition 31 can be at least partially woven from strip metal. As a result, the deployment and folding of the partition 31 can be more flexible. Additionally, the front surface and / or the rear surface of the partition 31 can also be covered with a layer structure 311 for heat preservation and / or sealing, thereby facilitating the clothing care operation from the perspectives of energy utilization, fluid utilization, and independence of each care subspace.
[0064] Figure 5 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a partition structure according to another exemplary embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 5 As shown, the partition 31 of the partition structure is hinged to a side wall of the care cavity 12 by a hinge 34. With the help of the hinge 34, the partition 31 can be moved to the opposite side of the care cavity 12 corresponding to the hinge 34 during use, thereby abutting against the side wall of the care cavity on the opposite side, thereby separating two care sub-spaces along the depth direction of the care cavity 12, namely the front sub-space and the rear sub-space.
[0065] Additionally, the separator 31 can also be folded toward the hinge 34 when not in use to release the partition of the care cavity 12. Preferably, the separator 31 can at least partially fit on the side wall of the care cavity 12 where the hinge 34 is located when folded, thereby reducing the occupancy of the care cavity 12. Exemplarily, the separator 31 itself can be designed to be a plurality of parts connected by hinges to achieve the folding of the separator 31 so as to adapt to the depth of the care cavity 12 (i.e., the width of the side wall of the care cavity). This is particularly suitable for the case where the lateral extension of the care cavity 12 is significantly larger than its depth extension, because in this case, in order to be able to separate the care cavity 12, the length (component) of the separator 31 in the lateral extension direction of the care cavity 12 needs to be equal to the lateral extension of the care cavity 12.
[0066] It is worth noting that in the embodiments shown, the partition structure 3 is arranged to separate the front subspace and the rear subspace along the depth direction of the care cavity 12, but the scope of the embodiments of the utility model is not limited to this. The partition structure 3 can also be arranged in various directions according to the overall design requirements of the clothing care cabinet, and multiple partition structures 3 can also be arranged for one clothing care cabinet.
[0067] Furthermore, the clothing care cabinet may also include a control unit 5 for controlling the partition structure 3 to separate the care cavity 12. In this way, the user can open or unfold the partition structure 3 to separate the care cavity 12 by operating the control unit 5, and retract the partition structure 3 to return the care cavity 12 to its original spatial form. Additionally, the control unit 5 may also be configured to control a care atmosphere generating device to establish a corresponding care atmosphere in at least one subspace where clothing care is required. Therefore, scene switching can be conveniently achieved. Preferably, the control unit 5 is arranged on the outer surface of the housing 1 and / or the door body 2 for the convenience of manual operation by the user.
[0068] Through the embodiment of the utility model, the clothing care cabinet can reduce the space volume for clothing care by forming separated subspaces in the care cavity, thereby realizing fast and efficient clothing care operations. In addition, the mutually separated care subspaces can also perform multiple clothing care operations in parallel. Thus, the user's clothing care operation experience can be improved.
