[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] An embodiment of the present application provides a barrel assembly and a clothing processing device. In order to more clearly illustrate the structure of the barrel assembly and the clothing processing device, the barrel assembly and the clothing processing device will be introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Please refer to Figure, Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the barrel assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 Another structural schematic diagram of the barrel assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application. The barrel assembly 100 provided in the present application includes a barrel 10 and a condenser 20, wherein the condenser 20 includes a base 21, a cover 22, a first condensation plate 23, and a second condensation plate 24. The base 21 is installed on the barrel 10, and the cover 22 is covered on the base 21. The first condensation plate 23 is installed between the base 21 and the cover 22, and the second condensation plate 24 is installed on the side of the cover 22 away from the base 21. For details, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of a barrel assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 for Figure 3 An enlarged schematic diagram of a part A of the barrel assembly is shown. The clothing processing device 200 also includes a drying tunnel (not shown in the figure), in which a fan is provided, and the drying tunnel is used to heat the air. The fan is used to blow the hot air in the drying tunnel into the barrel body 10, so as to achieve the drying function of the clothes in the barrel body 10. One end of the base 21 is used to communicate with the inside of the barrel body 10, and the other end is used to communicate with the drying tunnel. During the operation of the fan, a negative pressure is formed in the drying tunnel, so that the hot and humid air in the barrel body 10 flows through the condensation air duct and re-enters the drying air duct, and the hot and humid air exchanges heat with the condenser 20. In the prior art, since the condenser 20 is small in size, the hot air is not fully in contact with the water flow, and its heat exchange effect is limited, and the drying efficiency is low. In this embodiment, two condensation plates are provided, the first condensation plate 23 is provided between the base 21 and the cover 22, and the second condensation plate 24 is installed on the cover 22. Compared with the two condensation plates being arranged closely together, the present application can further increase the heat exchange area and heat exchange space of the hot and humid air, so that the high-temperature and high-humidity gas flowing into the condenser 20 and located near the cover 22 condenses on the condensation plates, precipitates water, and reduces the temperature at the same time. Among them, the first condensation plate 23 can be partially or entirely installed between the cover 22 and the base 21, and the second condensation plate 24 can also be partially or entirely installed on the cover 22. Compared with installing the two condensation plates inside the condenser 20, when the number of condensation plates increases, the two condensation plates can be easily disassembled and assembled. The humid hot air becomes dry cold air after passing through the condenser 20 and flows back into the drying tunnel. The heating device in the drying tunnel reheats the dry cold air entering the drying tunnel into hot air and blows it into the barrel body 10. This cycle is repeated to take away the moisture from the clothes in the barrel body 10, thereby achieving the effect of drying the clothes in the barrel body 10.

[0040] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the condenser provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 for Figure 5The schematic diagram of the structure of the base shown. The base 21 is provided with a notch 211 facing the cover 22, the cover 22 includes a protrusion 221, and the protrusion 221 is correspondingly inserted into the notch 211, so that the base 21 and the cover 22 cooperate to form a condensation space, the first condensation plate 23 includes a folded edge 231 and a body 232 connected to each other, the body 232 is located in the notch 211, and is sandwiched between the base 21 and the protrusion 221, the folded edge 231 is connected to one end of the body 232 away from the accommodating chamber 11, and is bent away from the cover 22 and attached to the base 21. Specifically, the notch 211 is matched with the protrusion 221 so that the protrusion 221 can be inserted into the notch 211. The condensation plate is L-shaped, and the base 21 and the cover 22 sandwich the body 232 in the middle. A mounting groove can be provided on the base 21, and the folded edge 231 is bent away from the cover 22 and installed in the mounting groove, so as to facilitate the upward withdrawal of the first condensation plate 23. The first condensation plate 23 is arranged between the base 21 and the cover 222, which not only helps the high-temperature and high-humidity gas to enter and cool down and precipitate moisture, but also facilitates the removal of the first condensation plate 23.

[0041] Exemplarily, the barrel body 10 is provided with a accommodating chamber 11 inside, the base 21 includes a mounting portion 212 and a connecting portion 213, the mounting portion 212 is mounted on the barrel body 10, the connecting portion 213 is connected to the side of the mounting portion 212 away from the barrel body 10, and is connected to the cover body 22, the connecting portion 213 is provided with an air inlet 2133 connecting the accommodating chamber 11 and the condensation space, the cover body 22 includes a cover plate 222 arranged away from the barrel body 10, the cover plate 222 is provided with an installation opening facing the air inlet 2133, and the second condensation plate 24 is installed at the installation opening. Specifically, the mounting portion 212 and the connecting portion 213 are an integrally formed structure, and the high-temperature and high-humidity airflow enters from the air inlet 2133, flows toward the first condensation plate 23 and the second condensation plate 24, and performs heat exchange to reduce the temperature, wherein the second condensation plate 24 can be installed at the installation opening by plugging, bonding, etc., which is not limited in this application.

[0042] Exemplarily, the connection portion 213 includes a peripheral edge forming the air inlet 2133, the peripheral edge is located on a side of the connection portion 213 away from the cover plate 222, the peripheral edge includes a bottom edge 2131 away from the notch 211, and the base 21 also includes a water baffle 2132, the water baffle 2132 is connected to the bottom edge 2131 and extends toward one side of the notch 211. Specifically, in the prior art, when the condensed water inflow rate is relatively high, the bottom edge 2131 is a portion of the edge of the peripheral edge away from the notch 211, and the water baffle 2132 is connected to the bottom edge 2131 to prevent the condensed water from flowing back into the accommodating chamber 11.

[0043] Exemplarily, the barrel body 10 includes a side wall of the barrel body 10, the mounting portion 212 includes a bottom wall 2121, the bottom wall 2121 includes a first portion 2122 and a second portion 2123, the first portion 2122 is attached to the side wall of the barrel body 10, the second portion 2123 is connected to the side of the first portion 2122 away from the barrel body 10, and is tilted toward the air inlet to prevent impurities in the airflow from remaining. Specifically, the first portion 2122 of the bottom wall 2121 is attached to the side wall of the barrel body 10, and the second portion 2123 protrudes from the barrel body 10. When the second portion 2123 is a straight structure, the lint and thread scraps carried by the airflow are easily retained in the second portion 2123, and the provision of a tilted structure obliquely downward can reduce the residual impurities and prevent the impurities from re-entering the accommodating chamber 11.

[0044] For example, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of the cover provided in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 8 Another structural schematic diagram of the cover body provided in the embodiment of the present application. The cover body 22 includes an end face 223 and a water inlet member 224, the cover plate 222 includes a bottom 2221 facing the air inlet 2133, the end face 223 is connected to a side of the cover plate 222 away from the bottom 2221, and protrudes toward the barrel body 10, the water inlet member 224 is convexly arranged on the end face 223 and is recessed toward the end face 223 to form a water inlet groove, a plurality of water leakage holes 2231 are formed on the end face 223, and the plurality of water leakage holes 2231 are arranged in the water inlet groove, and water flows through the water leakage holes 2231 into the condensation space. Specifically, during the condensation process of the condenser 20, condensate water needs to be introduced, and the condensate water is introduced through the water inlet groove. After the humid hot air enters the condenser 20, it exchanges heat with the condensate water entering the condensation space. The humid hot air releases heat and condenses into liquid, and is discharged from the condensation space together with the condensate water. At the same time, the humid hot air becomes dry air and enters the drying tunnel to complete the heat exchange process. The present application sets a water inlet groove horizontally on the water inlet part 224, and the water flows through multiple water leakage holes 2231 to form a water curtain. The water curtain further increases the spraying area, which not only improves the heat exchange efficiency, but also further flushes the wire scraps remaining in the condenser 20. In addition, since the first condensation plate 23 of the present application is set between the cover plate 222 and the base 21, the first condensation plate 23 can also prevent the water curtain from being sucked into the fan and affecting the normal operation of the drying tunnel.

[0045] For example, see Fig. 9 , Fig. 9Another structural schematic diagram of the barrel assembly provided for the embodiment of the present application. The cover 22 forms a water outlet at one end away from the end face 223, and the barrel 10 forms a barrel 10 drain port on the side away from the condenser 20, and the barrel assembly 100 includes a drain pipe, one end of the drain pipe is connected to the water outlet, and the other end is connected to the barrel 10 drain port. In the prior art, condensed water flows out of the condenser 20, passes through the side wall of the barrel 10, and is discharged from the drain port in front of the barrel 10. Affected by the temperature inside the barrel 10, the water will evaporate again during the flow, affecting the drying efficiency. However, the present application is provided with a drain pipe, which is spaced apart from the barrel 10 to reduce water evaporation and avoid affecting the drying efficiency.

[0046] Exemplarily, the periphery of the base 21 facing the cover 22 forms a first clamping structure, the periphery of the cover 22 facing the base 21 forms a second clamping structure, and the second clamping structure is correspondingly clamped to the first clamping structure, so that the cover 22 is installed on the base 21. Specifically, the first clamping structure is a convex edge provided on the periphery of the base 21, and the second clamping structure is a groove provided on the periphery of the cover 22, and the convex edge is correspondingly clamped to the groove, so that the cover 22 is clamped to the base 21. The clamping structure is convenient for disassembly and easy to install. Those skilled in the art can change the specific structure of the clamping structure according to actual conditions, and this application does not limit it here.

[0047] Exemplarily, the first condensation plate 23 and the second condensation plate 24 are both metal condensation plates. Specifically, the first condensation plate 23 and the second condensation plate 24 can be made of stainless steel or sheet metal. Existing condensation plates are mostly made of plastic parts. Since the thermal conductivity of metal materials is much higher than that of plastic materials, the heat exchange efficiency is high. Therefore, the metal condensation plate can further improve the heat exchange efficiency between the condensation plate and the high-temperature and high-humidity airflow.
