Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] Clothes processing equipment is a common household appliance used for washing and drying clothes.

[0003] In the related art, the clothes processing device includes a drum, a fan, a drying duct and a condenser. The fan sends air to the inside of the drum through the drying duct, and the airflow takes away the moisture on the clothes and turns into hot and humid air. After the hot and humid air passes through the condenser, liquid is condensed and discharged, thus turning into dry air. The air inlet of the fan is connected to the condenser, so the fan sucks in the dry air and blows it into the inside of the drum again, thereby drying the clothes.

[0004] However, in the clothes processing apparatus in the related art, the hot and humid air discharged from the drum will enter the condenser regardless of whether it is in the drying state. Since the hot and humid air contains water vapor and lint, impurities such as water vapor and lint will enter the drying air duct along with the air flow, thereby affecting the normal operation of the fan.

[0046] The present disclosure provides a laundry processing device, such as Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, the clothes processing device includes a drum 1, a fan 2, a drying air duct 3, a condenser 4 and a baffle assembly 5. The air outlet of the fan 2, the drying air duct 3, the drum 1 and the condensing air duct 40 of the condenser 4 are connected in sequence, and the condensing air duct 40 of the condenser 4 is connected to the air inlet of the fan 2. The baffle assembly 5 is located in the condensing air duct 40, and the baffle assembly 5 is configured to open the condensing air duct 40 in the drying mode of the clothes processing device. In the non-drying mode of the clothes processing device, the condensing air duct 40 is closed.

[0047] Among them, the clothing processing device can also be called a washing machine, and the washing machine has the functions of washing and drying clothes. The drum 1 includes an inner drum 11 and an outer drum 12. The side wall of the inner drum 11 is in the shape of a filter screen. The inner drum 11 is located inside the outer drum 12, and the airflow in the inner drum 11 passes through the side wall and enters the outer drum 12. The drying air duct 3 extends to the front side of the inner drum 11, and is used to input dry air into the inner drum 11. The air inlet of the condenser 4 is connected to the outer drum 12, and the humid hot air in the inner drum 11 enters the outer drum 12 through its side wall, and then enters the condenser 4. The condenser 4 condenses the water in the humid hot air into liquid, and then discharges it from the drain pipe, and the humid hot air becomes dry air at the same time. The dry air is then sucked in by the fan 2 and enters the inner drum 11 through the drying air duct 3.

[0048] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with a baffle assembly 5 in the condensing air duct 40 of the condenser 4. When the clothing processing device is in a non-drying mode (such as high-speed dehydration), the baffle assembly closes the condensing air duct 40, that is, disconnects the fan 2 and the condenser 4. In this way, impurities such as water vapor and lint mixed in the hot and humid air discharged from the drum 1 will not enter the fan 2 and the drying air duct 3. When the clothing processing device is in a drying state, the baffle assembly 5 opens the condensing air duct 40, that is, connects the fan 2 and the condenser 4, so that the dry air discharged from the condenser 4 can enter the fan 2 and the drying air duct 3.

[0049] In some examples, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the baffle assembly 5 includes a plurality of first baffles 51, a plurality of second baffles 52 and a drive assembly 53. The plurality of first baffles 51 are located inside the condensing air duct 40 and are arranged at intervals, with at least one second baffle 52 between two adjacent first baffles 51. The drive assembly 53 is in transmission connection with the second baffles 52, and the drive assembly 53 is configured to drive the second baffles 52 to separate from the first baffles 51 in the drying mode, and to drive the second baffles 52 to abut against the first baffles 51 on both sides in the non-drying mode.

[0050] The folds of the first baffle plate 51 and the second baffle plate 52 are perpendicular to the condensation air duct 40. Both ends of the first baffle plate 51 abut against the inner wall of the condensation air duct 40, and both ends of the second baffle plate 52 abut against the inner wall of the condensation air duct 40. In this way, the baffle assembly 5 can completely close the condensation air duct 40 in the drying mode.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in the drying mode, the condensation air duct 40 is opened. The air flow can pass through the gap between the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 52. When the air in the condensation air duct 40 passes through the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 52, the water vapor in the air will gather into liquid when colliding with the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 52. This will make the air entering the fan 2 drier, which is more conducive to drying clothes. At the same time, the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 52 can also act as a filter to filter impurities such as lint in the air in the condensation air duct 40, so as to prevent impurities such as lint from entering the fan 2 and the drying air duct 3 and affecting the drying function.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, in the non-drying mode, the second baffle plate 52 abuts against the first baffle plate 51, thereby closing the condensing air duct 40. In this way, the airflow driven by the rotation of the drum 1 will not enter the fan 2 and the drying air duct 3 through the condensing air duct 40, thereby preventing foreign matter such as lint in the airflow from entering the fan 2 and the drying air duct 3.

[0053] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the drying mode, the first baffle 51 has a first convex rib 511 and a first concave rib 512, and the second baffle 52 has a second convex rib 521 and a second concave rib 522. In the drying mode, the first convex rib 511 is opposite to the second concave rib 522, and the first concave rib 512 is opposite to the second convex rib 521, so that the gap between two adjacent second baffles 52 is open. In the non-drying mode, the first convex rib 511 is opposite to the second convex rib 521, and the first concave rib 512 is opposite to the second concave rib 522, so that the gap between two adjacent second baffles 52 is closed.

[0054] In some examples, the driving assembly 53 is used to drive the second baffle plate 52 to move axially along the condensation air duct 40 to adjust the relative position of the first convex edge 511 and the second concave edge 522 to open the gap between two adjacent second baffle plates 52.

[0055] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the driving assembly 53 includes a motor assembly 531 and an eccentric shaft 532. The motor assembly 531 is used to drive the eccentric shaft 532 to rotate, and the eccentric shaft 532 has an eccentric shaft section 5321 parallel to the rotation axis.

[0056] The eccentric shaft 532 also includes two support shaft segments 5322, which are located at both ends of the eccentric shaft segment 5321, and the eccentric shaft segment 5321 protrudes to one side relative to the support shaft segment 5322. The motor assembly 531 is in transmission connection with one support shaft segment 5322, and is used to drive the eccentric shaft 532 to rotate, and the support shaft segment 5322 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the condensation air duct 40. When the support shaft segment 5322 rotates, the highest point and the lowest point of the eccentric shaft segment 5321 change at any time. Since the two ends of the second baffle plate 52 are against the inner wall of the condensation air duct 40, the second baffle plate 52 can only move along the axis of the condensation air duct 40.

[0057] In some examples, the motor assembly 531 includes a motor 5311 and a worm 5312, and the motor 5311 and the worm 5312 are in driving connection. One end of the eccentric shaft 532 has a worm gear 5323, and the worm 5312 is in driving connection with the worm gear 5323.

[0058] In other examples, the motor assembly 531 may also include a motor 5311 and a gear, and the support shaft section 5322 of the eccentric shaft 532 has a gear structure. The gear is meshed with the gear structure of the support shaft section 5322, and the motor 5311 drives the eccentric shaft 532 to rotate through the gear.

[0059] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the eccentric shaft 532 is an integral structure. The second baffle plate 52 has a through hole 520, and the eccentric shaft 532 passes through the through hole 520. The width of the through hole 520 along the radial direction of the condensation air duct 40 is greater than or equal to the width of the eccentric shaft 532 along the radial direction of the condensation air duct 40. Therefore, the eccentric shaft 532 can smoothly pass through the second baffle plate 52.

[0060] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the condensation air duct 40 is in an arc shape. Since the folds of the baffles are straight lines, the outermost first baffle 51 or the second baffle 52 cannot completely fit the condensation air duct 40. Therefore, in the non-drying mode, the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 52 cannot completely close the condensation air duct 40.

[0061] Therefore, the baffle assembly 5 further includes two filling pieces 54, and the side surfaces of the filling pieces 54 include an arcuate surface 541 and a plane surface 542. The arcuate surface 541 of the filling piece 54 abuts against the inner wall of the condensation air duct 40, and the plane surface 542 of the filling piece 54 abuts against a first baffle 51 or a second baffle 52. In this way, the arcuate surface 541 of the filling piece 54 is completely fitted with the inner wall of the condensation air duct 40, and the plane surface 542 of the filling piece 54 is fitted with the fold of the first baffle 51 or the second baffle 52.

[0062] In some examples, such as Figure 2As shown, the baffle assembly 5 further includes a fixing rod 55 . The fixing rod 55 penetrates the first baffle plate 51 , and both ends of the fixing rod 55 are fixed to the side walls of the condensation air duct 40 .

[0063] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the baffle assembly 5 includes two fixing rods 55 .

[0064] In other examples, both ends of the first baffle plate 51 may be directly fixed to the inner wall of the condensation air duct 40. For example, the first baffle plate 51 and the condensation air duct 40 may be fixed together by gluing or welding.

[0065] In some examples, the number of the first baffles 51 is 4 to 10. Thus, in the non-drying mode, the first baffles 51 and the second baffles 52 can both allow the airflow to pass smoothly and filter impurities in the airflow.

[0066] In some examples, such as Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, both sides of each second baffle plate 52 are provided with first baffle plates 51. That is, the first baffle plates 51 are in contact with the inner wall of the condensation air duct 40 or the filler 54. In this way, when the second baffle plates 52 move, they will not contact with the inner wall of the condensation air duct 40 or the filler 54, thereby preventing the second baffle plates 52 from being damaged.

[0067] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the principles of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
