[0026] The multiple drums are arranged horizontally and in the same direction. This horizontal arrangement can reduce the height of the whole machine of the clothes processing equipment with drying function and can maximize the volume of the drums. That is, when the volume of the drums is enlarged, it will not be limited by the height of the whole machine. Therefore, the volume of the drums distributed side by side horizontally is large, and the drying efficiency is higher than that of the vertically stacked drums. The horizontal arrangement of the drums can reduce the vibration amplitude. The lower the amplitude, the smaller the impact on the heat pump and fan components in the main drying duct. It has strong reliability, more compact structure and small space occupation. The main drying duct can be provided between the drums, or between every two drums. The branch duct components send the dry hot air flow into the inlet of each drum. The air outlet dries the wet clothes, and the wet cold air flow after contacting the wet clothes returns to the branch duct assembly from the return air outlet of each drum, so that a set of main drying duct can be used to dry multiple drums of clothing processing equipment with drying function individually or simultaneously. At the same time, for the transportation of drying airflow, although the horizontally arranged air duct is longer than the vertically arranged air duct, the air flow transportation of the horizontally arranged air duct does not need to be transported from bottom to top, so the fan power will be lower. In this way, in actual applications, the drying working noise of multiple drums with a shared heat exchange device in the horizontal layout will be smaller; it can also make the overall structure of the clothing processing equipment with drying function simple, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve work efficiency.

[0043] Furthermore, the plurality of drums 1 are arranged horizontally and in the same direction. This horizontal arrangement can reduce the height of the whole machine of the clothes processing device with drying function and can maximize the volume of the drum 1, that is, when the volume of the drum 1 is enlarged, it will not be limited by the height of the whole machine, so the volume of the drums 1 arranged side by side horizontally is large, and the drying efficiency is higher than that of the vertically stacked drums; the horizontal arrangement of the drums 1 can reduce the vibration amplitude, and the lower the amplitude, the smaller the impact on the heat pump and the fan components in the main drying duct 4, the stronger the reliability, the more compact the structure, and the smaller the space occupied; the main drying duct 4 can be provided between the drums 1, and the main drying duct 4 can also be provided between every two drums 1; the branch duct component 5 sends the dry hot air flow into The air inlet 2 of each drum 1 dries the wet clothes, and the wet cold airflow after contacting the wet clothes returns to the branch duct assembly 5 from the return air port of each drum 1, so that a set of main drying ducts 4 can be used individually or simultaneously to dry multiple drums of clothing processing equipment with drying function. At the same time, for the transportation of the drying airflow, although the ducts with a horizontal layout are longer than those with a vertical layout, the air flow transportation of the ducts with a horizontal layout does not need to be transported from bottom to top, so the fan power will be lower. In this way, in actual applications, the drying working noise of multiple drums with a shared heat exchange device in a horizontal layout will be smaller; it can also make the overall structure of the clothing processing equipment with a drying function simple, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve work efficiency.

[0044] like Figure 1-4As shown, preferably, the multiple drums 1 include a first drum 11 and a second drum 12, the air inlet and air distribution assembly 61 includes an air inlet and air distribution shell 611 and an air inlet and air distribution component 612, the air inlet and air distribution component 612 is arranged in the air inlet and air distribution shell 611, the air inlet and air distribution shell 611 is provided with an air inlet and air distribution inlet connected with the air flow outlet of the main drying air duct 4 and a first air inlet and air distribution outlet and a second air inlet and air distribution outlet for connecting with the air inlet and air distribution inlet, the first air inlet and air distribution outlet and the second air inlet and air distribution outlet are located on both sides of the air inlet and air distribution shell 611 in the lateral direction; the first air inlet and air distribution outlet is connected with the inlet of the first drum 11, and the second air inlet and air distribution outlet is connected with the inlet of the second drum 12, and the air inlet and air distribution component 612 can move relative to the air inlet and air distribution shell 611, so that at least one of the first air inlet and air distribution outlet can be selectively connected with the air inlet and air distribution inlet.

[0045] Combination Figure 3 Furthermore, the air distribution component 6 includes an air distribution shell 63, an end cover 64 and an air distribution adjustment baffle 65 arranged in the air distribution shell 63. Rotating the air distribution adjustment baffle 65 can enable targeted air intake of a single drum or multiple drums of the clothing processing equipment with a drying function, so that a set of main drying air ducts 4 can supply air to dry the wet clothes in the drum separately or simultaneously, thereby reducing heat exchange energy and improving drying efficiency.

[0046] like Figure 1-4 As shown, preferably, the air inlet and air separation component 61 also includes an air inlet driving member (not shown in the figure) connected to the air inlet and air separation component 612, and the air inlet driving member is used to drive the air inlet and air separation component 612 to rotate to the first air inlet position 7, the second air inlet position 8 and the third air inlet position 9. When the air inlet and air separation component 612 rotates to the first air inlet position 7, the first air inlet and air separation outlet is connected to the air inlet and air separation inlet, and the connecting passage between the second air inlet and air separation outlet and the air inlet and air separation inlet is blocked by the air inlet and air separation component 612; when the air inlet and air separation component 612 rotates to the second air inlet position 8, the first air inlet and air separation outlet and the second air inlet and air separation outlet are both connected to the air inlet and air separation inlet; when the air inlet and air separation component 612 rotates to the third air inlet position 9, the second air inlet and air separation outlet is connected to the air inlet and air separation inlet, and the connecting passage between the first air inlet and air separation outlet and the air inlet and air separation inlet is blocked by the air inlet and air separation component 612.

[0047] Furthermore, the driving member can be a stepper motor 17. When the stepper motor 17 drives the air inlet and air separation component 612 to rotate to the second air inlet position 8, which is the middle position, the air inlet is not blocked, so that the air separation is uniform; by driving the air inlet and air separation component 612 to rotate by the stepper motor 17, the opening and closing of multiple different drying ducts can be accurately controlled, so that a set of main drying ducts 4 can simultaneously supply air to dry wet clothes in multiple drums, thereby reducing heat exchange energy and improving drying efficiency.

[0048] like Figure 1-3 and Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the multiple drums 1 include a first drum 11 and a second drum 12, the return air distribution assembly 62 includes a return air distribution shell 621 and a return air distribution component 622, the return air distribution component 622 is arranged in the return air distribution shell 621, the return air distribution shell 621 is provided with a return air distribution inlet connected to the main drying air duct air flow inlet and a first return air distribution outlet and a second return air distribution outlet for connecting to the return air distribution inlet, the first return air distribution outlet and the second return air distribution outlet are located on both sides of the return air distribution shell 621 in the lateral direction; the first return air distribution inlet is connected to the outlet of the first drum 11, and the second return air distribution inlet is connected to the outlet of the second drum 12, and the return air distribution component 622 can move relative to the return air distribution shell 621, so that at least one of the first return air distribution outlet and the second return air distribution outlet can be selectively connected to the return air distribution inlet.

[0049] Furthermore, the air distribution assembly 6 includes an air distribution shell 63, an end cover 64 and an air distribution adjustment baffle 65 arranged in the air distribution shell 63. Rotating the air distribution adjustment baffle 65 can enable a single drum or multiple drums of the clothing processing equipment with a drying function to return air in a targeted manner, so that a set of main drying air ducts 4 can return air to the wet clothes in the drum individually or simultaneously, thereby reducing heat exchange energy and improving drying efficiency.

[0050] like Figure 1-3 and Figure 5As shown, preferably, the return air distribution component 62 also includes a return air drive (not shown in the figure) connected to the return air distribution component, and the return air drive is used to drive the return air distribution component 622 to rotate to the first return air position 10, the second return air position 15 and the third return air position 12. When the return air distribution component 622 rotates to the first return air position 10, the first return air distribution outlet is connected to the return air distribution inlet, and the connecting passage between the second return air distribution outlet and the return air distribution inlet is blocked by the return air distribution component 622; when the return air distribution component 622 rotates to the second return air position 15, the second return air distribution outlet and the first return air distribution outlet are both connected to the return air distribution inlet; when the return air distribution component 622 rotates to the third return air position 12, the second return air distribution outlet is connected to the return air distribution inlet, and the connecting passage between the first return air distribution outlet and the return air distribution inlet is blocked by the return air distribution component 622. Preferably, when the return air distribution component 622 rotates to the second return air position 15, the return air distribution component 622 extends toward the second return air position 15 and is located at the middle position of the return air distribution inlet in the lateral direction.

[0051] Furthermore, the driving component can be a stepper motor 17. When the stepper motor 17 drives the return air distribution component 622 to rotate to the second return air position 15, which is the middle position, the return air is not blocked, so that the air distribution is uniform; by driving the return air distribution component 622 to rotate by the stepper motor 17, the opening and closing of multiple different drying air ducts can be accurately controlled, and a set of main drying air ducts 4 can be used to return air to wet clothes in multiple drums at the same time, thereby reducing heat exchange energy and improving drying efficiency.

[0052] Combination Figure 1 Preferably, the air inlet branch duct 51 includes a first air inlet branch duct and a second air inlet branch duct, one end of the first air inlet branch duct is connected to the air inlet of the first drum 11, and the other end of the first air inlet branch duct is connected to the first air inlet outlet; one end of the second air inlet branch duct is connected to the air inlet of the second drum 12, and the other end of the second air inlet branch duct is connected to the second air inlet outlet; preferably, the return air branch duct 52 includes a first return air branch duct and a second return air branch duct, one end of the first return air branch duct is connected to the return air inlet of the first drum 11, and the other end of the first return air branch duct is connected to the first return air outlet; one end of the second return air branch duct is connected to the return air inlet of the second drum 12, and the other end of the second return air branch duct is connected to the second return air outlet.

[0053] Furthermore, the first drum 11 is connected to the first channel, and the second drum 12 is connected to the second channel. The first channel and the second channel can be ventilated separately or simultaneously, so that a set of main drying ducts 4 can provide air to dry the wet clothes in the drum separately or simultaneously, thereby reducing heat exchange energy and improving drying efficiency.

[0054] Combination Figure 1-3Preferably, multiple drums 1 can be dried simultaneously or individually; the air inlet branch assembly 61 and the return air branch assembly 62 respectively include an air branch adjustment baffle 65, an air branch shell 63 and a stepper motor 17, wherein the air branch adjustment baffle 65 is rotatably arranged in the air branch shell 63, and the rotation angle of the air branch adjustment baffle 65 is controlled by the stepper motor 17, so that the air inlet branch duct 51 and the return air branch duct 52 of one or more drums 1 form one or more drying circuits with the main drying duct 4.

[0055] Furthermore, the main drying duct 4 can be arranged in the main duct, which can be formed by a pipe, or by the shell of a clothing processing device with a drying function, or can be arranged outside the shell of the clothing processing device with a drying function. The hot air heated by the heat pump component 13 is sent into each drum through the fan component 14 to form one or more drying circuits, and multiple drums 1 can be ventilated and dried separately or simultaneously, which solves the problem that traditional multi-drum clothing processing devices with drying functions require multiple heat exchange systems to achieve multi-drum drying, and realizes that a set of main drying duct 4 can provide air to dry the wet clothes in the drum separately or simultaneously, thereby reducing heat exchange energy and improving drying efficiency.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] According to the clothes treating device with drying function of embodiment 1, a drying adjustment mode is proposed as follows:

[0058] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model can realize three drying modes in a double-drum clothing processing device with a drying function, including the first drum 11 drying alone, the second drum 12 drying alone and the double-drum drying at the same time.
