[0041] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the utility model. Instead, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the utility model as detailed in the attached claims.

[0042] The existing clothing processing equipment currently needs to manually clean the filter before each use, which is very cumbersome. The embodiment of the utility model proposes a filter component and clothing processing equipment that can be automatically cleaned. When the door body of the clothing processing equipment adopts the filter component, the user can drive the cleaning part to clean the filter by opening and closing the door, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of the filter, avoiding the user from disassembling to clean the hair debris, improving the cleaning efficiency, reducing the user's operation, and thus improving the user experience.

[0043] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6 The technical solution of this embodiment is elaborated in detail. In the absence of conflict, the following implementation methods and embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0044] Example

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a filter assembly for installation on a clothing processing device and for use in conjunction with a door body hinged at a clothing loading port, the filter assembly comprising:

[0046] A filter bracket 1, wherein a filter mounting position is formed on the filter bracket 1;

[0047] Filter 2, installed at the filter installation position;

[0048] A cleaning member 3 is movably arranged on the filter support and can rub against the filter when moving; the cleaning member 3 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other in its moving direction;

[0049] An elastic member 4, one end of the elastic member 4 is connected to the filter support 1, and the other end is connected to the first side of the cleaning member 3; preferably, the elastic member 4 is a spring;

[0050] A pulling member 5, which is a flexible member, one end of which is connected to the second side of the cleaning member 3 and the other end of which is formed as a free end for connecting to the door body of the clothes processing device; preferably, the pulling member is a belt;

[0051] in;

[0052] The pulling member 5 is used to drive the cleaning member 3 to move relative to the filter screen 2 to the side away from the clothing delivery port according to the position change of the door body when it is opened, and the elastic member 4 is used to drive the cleaning member 3 to move relative to the filter screen 2 to the side close to the clothing delivery port according to the position change of the door body when it is closed, or

[0053] The elastic member 4 is used to drive the cleaning member 3 to move toward the clothing inlet relative to the filter 2 according to the position change of the door body when it is opened, and the pulling member 5 is used to drive the cleaning member 3 to move toward the clothing inlet relative to the filter 2 according to the position change of the door body when it is closed.

[0054] When the door body of the clothing processing equipment is connected to the pulling piece of the filter assembly, the user's door opening and closing operation can drive the cleaning piece 3 to move back and forth relative to the filter net 2, so as to clean the filter net 2, thereby realizing the automatic cleaning function of the filter net, avoiding the user from disassembling to clean the hair debris, improving the cleaning efficiency, reducing the user's operation, and thus improving the user experience.

[0055] A belt and a spring are respectively added to the door body and the filter bracket of the clothing processing equipment, and the pulling force of the user opening and closing the door and the contraction force of the spring are used to drive the cleaning device to clean the hair debris. This does not consume electricity or water, achieves automatic cleaning, reduces user operations, and improves user experience.

[0056] Further, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the filter support 1 is formed with an air inlet side and an air outlet side opposite to each other and an air flow channel between the air inlet side and the air outlet side, and the filter 2 is arranged in the air flow channel and opposite to the air inlet side;

[0057] The cleaning member 3 comprises a plate-shaped cleaner 31 arranged parallel to the airflow direction and attached to the filter screen 2;

[0058] A force is applied to the cleaner 31 , so that the cleaner 31 can move in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the airflow.

[0059] When a force is applied to the cleaner 31 in the embodiment of the utility model, it can move perpendicular to the direction of the airflow, so as to scrape the surface of the filter screen 2. Specifically, the force applied to the cleaner 31 comes from the pulling member 5 and the elastic member 4. At the same time, the cleaner 31 in the embodiment of the utility model is set in a plate-like form, and when the airflow passes through the filter assembly, it will not be subject to a large resistance, thereby ensuring the self-cleaning function and the air supply effect.

[0060] Further, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning member 3 also includes a connecting rod 32 connected to the cleaning device 31;

[0061] A guide rail 11 is provided on the filter support 1 , and the connecting rod 32 is slidably disposed in the guide rail 11 .

[0062] In the embodiment of the utility model, the guide rail 11 is arranged on the filter support 1 to prevent the connecting rod 32 from falling out during the sliding process.

[0063] In any of the above embodiments, if Figure 1 As shown, the filter support 1 includes a main frame 1a formed with a filter installation position and a sub-frame 1b fixedly connected to the main frame 1a and formed with a portion for fixing the elastic member 4;

[0064] One end of the elastic member 4 is fixed to the auxiliary frame 1 b , and the other end passes through the main frame 1 a and is connected to the cleaning member 3 .

[0065] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the second aspect of the embodiment of the utility model further provides a clothing processing device, which includes the above-mentioned filter assembly.

[0066] Specifically, the clothes processing device includes a door body 6 hinged at the clothes loading port by a hinge, and the clothes processing device has a drying air duct;

[0067] The filter bracket 1 is fixed in the drying air duct of the clothes processing equipment, and the pulling member 5 is connected to the door body 6;

[0068] When the door body 6 is controlled to be opened and closed, the connection position of the pulling member 5 and the door body 6 can be changed relative to the position of the filter bracket 1, so that the cleaning member 3 can be driven to reciprocate relative to the filter 2 through the pulling member 5 and the elastic member 4.

[0069] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the pull member 5 is connected to the hinge position 61 of the door body 6, and the hinge position 61 moves toward the side close to the clothing loading port when the door body 6 is opened, and moves toward the side away from the clothing loading port when the door body 6 is closed;

[0070] The flexible pulling member 5 is designed to be pulled by the elastic member 4 to present a straight state when the door body 6 is opened, and to be pulled by the door body 6 to present a straight state when the door body 6 is closed, so that the pulling member 5 can present a straight state no matter what state the door body is in, thereby avoiding the bending of the flexible pulling member to affect the effect of opening and closing the door;

[0071] When the door body 6 is switched from a closed state to an open state, the pulling member 5 can be pulled by the elastic member 4 to drive the cleaning member 3 to move relative to the filter net 2 toward the side close to the clothing input port. When the door body 6 is switched from an open state to a closed state, the pulling member 5 can be pulled by the door body 6 to drive the cleaning member 3 to move relative to the filter net 2 toward the side away from the clothing input port.

[0072] Furthermore, the door body 6 has a maximum opening angle when fully opened;

[0073] The elastic member 4 is designed to undergo elastic deformation when the door body 6 is less than the maximum opening angle, and to eliminate the elastic deformation when the door body 6 is at the maximum opening angle.

[0074] Taking the pulling member 5 as a belt and the elastic member 4 as a spring as an example, the clothes processing device of the utility model is specifically described:

[0075] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, when the door body 6 is in a fully open state, the spring is in a contracted state, and at this time the connecting rod and the cleaner lean against one side of the filter bracket; when the user closes the door body 6, the door body 6 drives the belt to pull the cleaning piece 3 to clean the filter 2, and the spring is stretched at this time. When the user opens the door, the spring contracts due to its own elastic force and drives the cleaning piece 3 to reset, and also plays a role in reverse cleaning the filter 2, that is, the cleaning piece 3 is driven to move back and forth by the user opening and closing the door, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning hair debris without consuming other energy.

[0076] It is worth noting that, in order to support the flexible pulling member 5 and provide stability for the pulling member 5 when moving, in the embodiment of the utility model, a support member 62 is rotatably provided on the door body 6 , and the pulling member 5 is supported and provided on the support member 62 .

[0077] In summary, through the above-mentioned filter assembly and clothing processing equipment {preferably, the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment is a clothes dryer}, it can be known that the cleaning part 3 in the embodiment of the utility model can realize automatic cleaning by utilizing the force of the user opening and closing the door to act on the cleaning part 3; each time the user opens and closes the door, it can drive the cleaning part 3 to clean the hair on the filter 2, ensuring that the filter 2 is in a clean state before each use of the clothing processing equipment, so that the drying effect remains unchanged, while reducing the number of times the user cleans the filter, thereby improving the user experience.

[0078] After considering the specification and practicing the embodiments disclosed herein, those skilled in the art will easily think of other embodiments of the utility model. This application is intended to cover any variation, use or adaptation of the utility model, which follows the general principles of the utility model and includes common knowledge or customary technical means in the technical field not disclosed in the utility model.
