[0037] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other, and the detailed descriptions in the specific implementation methods should be understood as explanations of the purpose of the present application and should not be regarded as improper limitations on the present application.

[0038] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, down refers to the direction of the ground, and up is opposite to down; front refers to the direction toward the user, and back is opposite to front; the up and down directions are perpendicular to the front and back directions. In the embodiments of the present application, the orientations or positional relationships of "up", "down", "front", and "back" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] In the related art, the sensor is arranged on the front support of the clothing processing device, and the front support is located at the front side of the clothing drum. The sensor is relatively far away from the load such as the clothing in the clothing cavity, which easily leads to the problem of inaccurate judgment.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a clothing processing device. The clothing processing device includes a clothes drum 1, a lifting rib 2 and a conductivity detection device 3. The clothes drum 1 has a clothes cavity 1a, and the lifting rib 2 is arranged in the clothes cavity 1a; at least part of the conductivity detection device 3 is arranged on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2.

[0041] The clothes processing device has a drying function, and the clothes processing device can be used to dry clothes. The clothes processing device can be a clothes drying device or a washing and drying device. The clothes drying device refers to a device with a drying function. The washing and drying device refers to a device that integrates the drying function and the washing function, and the clothes holding chamber 1a can be used for washing and drying. The washing function can include cleaning and dehydration.

[0042] The clothes holding chamber 1a can be used to place and dry loads such as clothes. The clothes holding drum 1 can rotate, and the lifting ribs 2 can contact the clothes in the clothes holding chamber 1a and drive the clothes to rotate along with the clothes holding drum 1. For example, the clothes move from bottom to top under the action of the lifting ribs 2, and then move downward under the action of gravity and / or centrifugal force, so that the clothes constantly change their posture in the clothes holding chamber 1a.

[0043] The conductivity detection device 3 can detect the conductivity of the load such as clothes in the clothing chamber 1a. The clothing processing device can determine the degree of drying according to the conductivity detected by the conductivity detection device 3. As an example, the principle of the conductivity detection device 3 can be: the load in the clothing chamber 1a contacts the two electrode members of the conductivity detection device 3, so that the conductivity detection circuit is turned on, and the resistance values ​​of the loads with different moisture levels are different, that is, the moisture level of the load is related to the conductivity, and the degree of drying is determined according to the conductivity.

[0044] In the clothing processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the conductivity detection device 3 is arranged on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2. The conductivity detection device 3 can contact the load such as clothes in the clothing chamber 1a, so as to sense the drying degree of the clothes at a close distance, effectively improving the accuracy of judging the dryness degree of the clothes in the clothing drum 1.

[0045] In one embodiment, the rotation axis of the clothes drum 1 may be along the horizontal direction, that is, the clothes treating apparatus may be a drum-type clothes treating apparatus.

[0046] For example, the rotation axis of the clothes drum 1 is in the horizontal direction, and the front side of the clothes drum 1 has a clothes taking-in and putting-out opening, and the user puts clothes into or takes out clothes from the front of the clothes chamber 1a. During the rotation of the clothes drum 1, the clothes are driven to move from the bottom to the top; under the action of gravity, the clothes fall from the top to the bottom, so that the clothes are scattered, thrown and changed in posture under the combined action of the clothes drum 1 and gravity.

[0047] For some examples, see Figure 2 The clothes holding tube 1 is roughly in the shape of a hollow cylinder.

[0048] In one embodiment, the clothes drum 1 may be a single drum structure, that is, the clothes processing device has only one drum body, the clothes drum 1 .

[0049] In one embodiment, an outer barrel may be provided outside the clothes holding drum 1. In other words, the clothes processing device has two barrels.

[0050] The clothes holding drum 1 can be made of metal material, such as stainless steel.

[0051] In the related art, the conductivity sensor is usually composed of two metal strips. The wet load contacts the two metal strips to achieve circuit conduction, thereby judging the degree of drying of the clothes. The two metal strips can be regarded as having only a single resistor. The conductivity detection sensitivity of the two metal strips is low, and problems may occur in some scenarios. For example, if the load is coral fleece, the coral fleece may not be dried properly. For another example, for a mixed load composed of cotton, linen and chemical fiber, due to the different conductivity values ​​of cotton, linen and chemical fiber when drying, problems such as over-drying of cotton and linen may occur.

[0052] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 8 to 11The conductivity detection device 3 includes a first electrode member 31 and a second electrode member 32, both of which are located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2, and the first electrode member 31 includes a first connecting portion 311 and a first tooth 312 connected to the first connecting portion 311. The second electrode member 32 includes a second connecting portion 321 and a second tooth 322 connected to the second connecting portion 321, and the first tooth 312 and the second tooth 322 are arranged at intervals. The first tooth 312 can extend toward the second connecting portion 321, and the second tooth 322 can extend toward the second connecting portion 321. The distance between the first tooth 312 and the second tooth 322 is greater than zero.

[0053] In this embodiment, a first tooth 312 and a second tooth 322 constitute an electrode pair, and the distance between the first tooth 312 and the second tooth 322 can be small to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of the conductivity detection device 3 .

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 8 to 11 The number of the first teeth 312 and the number of the second teeth 322 are both at least two, and the first teeth 312 and the second teeth 322 are alternately arranged along the axial direction of the clothes barrel 1. That is, there is a second tooth 322 between any two adjacent first teeth 312.

[0055] The first teeth 312 and the second teeth 322 are arranged uniformly or unevenly in the axial direction of the clothes drum 1. The distance between adjacent first teeth 312 and second teeth 322 is L, and the uniform arrangement of the first teeth 312 and the second teeth 322 in the axial direction of the clothes drum 1 means that any two distances L are equal. The uneven arrangement of the first teeth 312 and the second teeth 322 in the axial direction of the clothes drum 1 means that at least two distances L are not equal.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first teeth 312 and the second teeth 322 are alternately arranged to form a fork structure, a first tooth 312 and a second tooth 322 constitute an electrode pair, the conductivity detection device 3 has at least two electrode pairs, the clothes are in contact with at least two electrode pairs, each electrode pair is conductive and can be regarded as a resistor, at least two electrode pairs can be regarded as at least two resistors in parallel, so that the detection of conductivity changes is more sensitive, which improves the accuracy and sensitivity of the conductivity detection device 3, can avoid problems such as under-drying or over-drying to a certain extent, and improve the drying performance.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first teeth 312 and the second teeth 322 are arranged evenly or unevenly in the front-to-back direction. In other words, the axial direction of the clothes drum 1 may be consistent with the front-to-back direction.

[0058] It can be understood that the axial direction of the clothes drum 1 refers to the extending direction of the rotation axis of the clothes drum 1 .

[0059] The specific structural form of the first tooth 312 is not limited, and can be in the form of a sheet or a column, etc. The specific structural form of the second tooth 322 is not limited, and can be in the form of a sheet or a column, etc. Among them, the cross-sectional shape of the column is not limited, and can be a circle or a polygon, etc. The polygon is, for example, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, etc. It is understood that the polygon can include a rounded polygon.

[0060] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 8 to 11 , the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 321 are both linearly extended in parallel, and all the first teeth 312 and all the second teeth 322 are located between the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 321. In other words, the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 321 are both substantially in a straight line structure or a curved line structure. Exemplarily, the shape of the first tooth 312 is substantially the same as the shape of the second tooth 322, the first tooth 312 is substantially parallel to the second tooth 322, and the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 321 are both in a straight line structure and are substantially parallel.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 have simple and compact structures and neat and beautiful appearances.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 8 to 11 , the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 are substantially in the same plane. Thus, the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 are both substantially flat, occupying a small space, thus saving space in the clothing chamber 1a.

[0063] The first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 are both made of conductive material. For example, the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 are both made of metal material.

[0064] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.11 The first teeth 312 are partially protruded in a direction away from the lifting rib 2 to form a first protrusion 3121. The first protrusion 3121 can not only enhance the structural strength of the first teeth 312, but also facilitate contact with clothing and increase the contact area with clothing.

[0065] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.11 The second teeth 322 are partially protruded in a direction away from the lifting rib 2 to form a second protrusion 3221. The second protrusion 3221 can not only enhance the structural strength of the second teeth 322, but also facilitate contact with clothing and increase the contact area with clothing.

[0066] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.11The surface of the first tooth 312 away from the lifting rib 2 is an arc surface. The surface of the first tooth 312 away from the lifting rib 2 needs to contact with the clothes, and the arc surface can avoid hooking the clothes to a certain extent, reducing the mutual wear between the clothes and the first tooth 312.

[0067] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.11 The surface of the second tooth 322 away from the lifting rib 2 is an arc surface. The surface of the second tooth 322 away from the lifting rib 2 needs to contact with the clothes, and the arc surface can avoid hooking the clothes to a certain extent, reducing the mutual wear between the clothes and the second tooth 322.

[0068] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.11 The first protrusion 3121 may be in a convex arc shape. The surface of the first protrusion 3121 away from the lifting rib 2 is in an arc shape.

[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.11 The second protrusion 3221 may be in a convex arc shape. The surface of the second protrusion 3221 away from the lifting rib 2 is in an arc shape.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 ,as well as Figures 8 to 11 The conductivity detection device 3 includes a fixed terminal 33, which is connected to the first connection portion 311, and the clothes barrel 1 is connected to the fixed terminal 33. When the fixed terminal 33 is connected to the clothes barrel 1, and the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 are conductive, the clothes barrel 1 can be used as a part of the first electrode member 31, thereby reducing the measurement error caused by polarization.

[0071] The fixed terminal 33 may be made of a conductive material, for example, the fixed terminal 33 may be made of a metal material.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first electrode member 31 may be an integrally formed structure, that is, the first connecting portion 311 , the first teeth 312 , etc. may be integrally formed and manufactured.

[0073] In some embodiments, the second electrode member 32 may be an integrally formed structure, that is, the second connecting portion 321 , the second teeth 322 , etc. may be integrally formed and manufactured.

[0074] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6The lifting rib 2 is formed with a receiving groove 2a and a reinforcing member 21, the reinforcing member 21 is located in the receiving groove 2a, the fixed terminal 33 extends into the receiving groove 2a, and the fastener is provided through the clothes holding barrel 1, the fixed terminal 33 and one of the reinforcing members 21. The fastener can fix the fixed terminal 33 to one of the reinforcing members 21, and can also fix the lifting rib 2 to the clothes holding barrel 1. The reinforcing member 21 can strengthen the structural strength of the lifting rib 2, and the reinforcing member 21, the fixed terminal 33 and the fastener can be hidden in the receiving groove 2a, which can prevent the clothes from contacting the fastener and the fixed terminal 33 to cause damage to the fastener and the fixed terminal 33 to a certain extent, thereby improving safety and reliability.

[0075] The type of fasteners is not limited, and fasteners include but are not limited to screws or bolts, etc.

[0076] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The reinforcement member 21 includes a partition plate 211 and a fixing portion 212. The partition plate 211 divides the receiving groove 2a into a first sub-groove 2aa and a second sub-groove 2ab. The fixing terminal 33 extends into the first sub-groove 2aa. The first sub-groove 2aa is located on the side of the second sub-groove 2ab away from the peripheral side wall 12 of the clothes drum 1. The fixing portion 212 is located in the second sub-groove 2ab and connected to the partition plate 211. The fastener is provided through the fixing portion 212 and the peripheral side wall 12 of the clothes drum 1. In other words, the first sub-groove 2aa is located on the side of the second sub-groove 2ab close to the rotation axis of the clothes drum 1.

[0077] It can be understood that the peripheral side wall 12 of the clothes drum 1 is a side wall surrounding the rotation axis of the clothes drum 1 .

[0078] Exemplarily, the first sub-groove 2aa may also be used to place electrical components.

[0079] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the first sub-groove 2aa can extend from the front end of the lifting rib 2 to the rear end of the lifting rib 2, so that the first sub-groove 2aa can be used to place a relatively long electrical component or other structural member. On the other hand, the fastener is inserted through the fixing portion 212 and the peripheral side wall 12 of the clothes drum 1, and the fixing portion 212 is located in the second sub-groove 2ab, so that the fastener and the fixing portion 212 can be prevented from interfering with the layout of the electrical components.

[0080] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The partition plate 211 may be substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the clothes drum 1, thereby dividing the receiving groove 2a into a first sub-groove 2aa and a second sub-groove 2ab distributed radially along the clothes drum 1. The partition plate 211 may connect the groove wall surface of the receiving groove 2a along the circumferential direction.

[0081] Compared with dividing the receiving groove 2a into a plurality of sub-grooves distributed along the front-to-back direction, in this embodiment, the volume of the first sub-groove 2aa can be larger to facilitate the placement of electrical components and other structural parts. The volume of the second sub-groove 2ab can be larger to facilitate the placement of fasteners and fixing parts 212. The second sub-groove 2ab is close to the peripheral side wall 12 of the clothes holding drum 1, reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0082] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The reinforcing member 21 includes a reinforcing rib 213 located in the second sub-groove 2ab, and the reinforcing rib 213 connects the partition plate 211 and the groove wall surface of the second sub-groove 2ab. The reinforcing rib 213 is used to further increase the structural strength of the lifting rib 2.

[0083] For some examples, see Figure 5 There can be multiple reinforcing members 21, and multiple reinforcing members 21 are arranged at intervals along the front-to-back direction. In this way, the structural strength of the lifting rib 2 at multiple positions along the front-to-back direction can be effectively increased, and the electrical components and other structural parts located in the first sub-groove 2aa can be easily placed in or taken out.

[0084] In one embodiment, the clothes processing device includes a control board, which is arranged on the lifting rib 2, and the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 are both connected to the control board. The control board can control the start and stop of the conductivity detection device 3. The control board and the conductivity detection device 3 are both arranged on the lifting rib 2 to facilitate the connection between the two.

[0085] The control board can be used to implement input functions such as signal acquisition and processing, as well as output functions such as issuing control instructions to control the operation of the actuator. For example, the control board can control the on and off of the power supply.

[0086] In some embodiments, the control board may include an MCU, ie, a Microcontroller Unit.

[0087] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 11 The lifting rib 2 is formed with a receiving groove 2a, the clothing processing device includes a control board located in the receiving groove 2a, the conductivity detection device 3 includes a first terminal 34 and a second terminal 35, the first terminal 34 is connected to the first electrode member 31, the second terminal 35 is connected to the second electrode member 32, and the first terminal 34 and the second terminal 35 both extend into the receiving groove 2a and are connected to the control board.

[0088] For example, the control board may be located in the first sub-slot 2 aa . The first terminal 34 is connected to one of the first teeth 312 , and the second terminal 35 is connected to one of the second teeth 322 .

[0089] In this embodiment, the first terminal 34 and the second terminal 35 are connected to the control board to transmit electrical signals between the control board and the conductivity detection device 3. The first terminal 34, the second terminal 35 and the control board are all located in the receiving groove 2a, and the first terminal 34, the second terminal 35 and the control board are avoided from contacting the load as much as possible, which can improve safety.

[0090] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 , the distance L between adjacent first teeth 312 and second teeth 322 is 2mm to 8mm. Exemplarily, the distance L between adjacent first teeth 312 and second teeth 322 is 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm or 8mm, etc. The smaller the distance between the first tooth 312 and the second tooth 322, the higher the detection sensitivity, but the greater the material usage of the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32, the higher the cost. The distance between adjacent first teeth 312 and second teeth 322 is 2mm to 8mm, which not only takes into account the detection sensitivity and cost, but also has a good anti-static interference effect, and to a certain extent avoids the problem of excessively high conductivity values ​​during chemical fiber drying.

[0091] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The clothing processing device includes a wireless power receiving module 4 disposed on the clothes drum 1, and the wireless power receiving module 4 can supply power to the conductivity detection device 3. The wireless power receiving module 4 receives power wirelessly, so that the wireless power receiving module 4 does not need to be connected to an external power source by a conductive wire, thereby avoiding interference with the conductive wire during the rotation of the clothes drum 1. The wireless power receiving module 4 can provide power to the conductivity detection device 3 to maintain the energy required for the conductivity detection device 3 to work.

[0092] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the wireless power receiving module 4 is located at the rear side of the clothes drum 1. Exemplarily, the wireless power receiving module 4 is located in the central area of ​​the rear side wall 11 of the clothes drum 1. The wireless power receiving module 4 is located outside the clothes chamber 1a to prevent the loads such as clothes in the clothes chamber 1a from contacting the wireless power receiving module 4, thereby improving safety.

[0093] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The clothing processing device includes a cable 5 and a control board arranged on the lifting rib 2, the conductivity detection device 3 is connected to the control board, the cable 5 connects the wireless power receiving module 4 and the control board, the lifting rib 2 is formed with a receiving groove 2a, and at least a part of the cable 5 is located in the receiving groove 2a.

[0094] The cable 5 can transmit electrical signals. The control board can control the power supply on and off, for example, the control board can conduct or cut off the power transmission between the wireless power receiving module 4 and the conductivity detection device 3. The control board can also be used to implement other control functions.

[0095] In this embodiment, the wireless power receiving module 4, the control panel, the cable 5 and the conductivity detection device 3 all move synchronously with the clothes drum 1, and the rotation of the clothes drum 1 will not cause the cable 5 to be entangled or other problems. The cable 5 transmits the power of the wireless power receiving module 4 to the control panel and the conductivity detection device 3, and has high reliability. At least part of the cable 5 is located in the receiving groove 2a, which can reduce the probability of the load such as clothes in the clothes drum 1 contacting the cable 5, thereby improving safety.

[0096] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The wireless power receiving module 4 is located at the rear side of the clothes drum 1. The rear side wall 11 of the clothes drum 1 is formed with a wire hole 11a. The lifting rib 2 includes an extension portion 22. The extension portion 22 covers the wire hole 11a. The cable 5 passes through the wire hole 11a and extends into the receiving groove 2a. With the plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction as the projection plane, the projection of the wire hole 11a can be located within the projection range of the extension portion 22.

[0097] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the wire hole 11a is provided on the rear side wall 11 of the clothes holding drum 1, one end of the cable 5 is connected to the wireless power receiving module 4, and the other end of the cable 5 passes through the wire hole 11a and enters the receiving groove 2a, and the distance between the wireless power receiving module 4 and the wire hole 11a can be short, which can reduce the situation of the cable 5 winding. On the other hand, the extension part 22 covers the wire hole 11a, which can prevent the wire hole 11a from being exposed, so that the lifting rib 2 can block the cable 5 entering the clothes holding cavity 1a, and prevent the cable 5 from contacting the clothes as much as possible.

[0098] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The clothes processing device includes a box body and a wireless power transmitting module 6, the clothes drum 1 is located in the box body, and the wireless power transmitting module 6 can be arranged on the back plate 7 of the box body. The wireless power transmitting module 6 and the wireless power receiving module 4 transmit electric energy contactlessly, that is, the wireless power transmitting module 6 and the wireless power receiving module 4 can realize electric energy transmission without being connected by wires.

[0099] Exemplarily, the wireless power transmitting module 6 includes a transmitting coil, and the wireless power receiving module 4 includes a receiving coil, and energy can be transmitted between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil through a magnetic field. For example, the transmitting coil can generate a changing magnetic field, and the receiving coil can generate a current through electromagnetic induction, thereby achieving energy transmission.

[0100] In this embodiment, when the clothes drum 1 is in a rotating state, the wireless power transmitting module 6 and the wireless power receiving module 4 can still provide relatively high-power electric energy to the electrical devices such as the conductivity detection device 3 to meet the power demand.

[0101] In some embodiments, the wireless power transmitting module 6 may be located at the front side of the back plate 7 of the box. Exemplarily, the wireless power transmitting module 6 may be located at a portion of the back plate 7 of the box corresponding to the central area of ​​the clothes drum 1, and the wireless power transmitting module 6 may be aligned with the wireless power receiving module 4. With the plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction as the projection plane, the projection of the wireless power transmitting module 6 and the projection of the wireless power receiving module 4 at least partially overlap.

[0102] Exemplarily, the wireless power receiving module 4 includes a shell, which is annular in shape, and the receiving coil is accommodated in the shell. The shell can be used to protect the receiving coil.

[0103] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The lifting rib 2 includes a main body 23, which is arranged on the circumferential surface of the clothing chamber 1a, and the conductivity detection device 3 is arranged on the main body 23. The main body 23 is arranged on the circumferential surface of the clothing chamber 1a, and the main body 23 extends along the front-to-back direction. The length direction of the main body 23 is consistent with the front-to-back direction. The size of the main body 23 can be large to facilitate the installation of the conductivity detection device 3.

[0104] It can be understood that the circumferential surface of the garment holding chamber 1a is the circumferential surface of the garment holding chamber 1a around the rotation axis.

[0105] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 ,as well as Fig.11 , at least part of the conductivity detection device 3 is located on one side of the main body 23 along the circumferential direction. For example, the entirety of the conductivity detection device 3 is located on one side of the main body 23 along the circumferential direction. For another example, part of the conductivity detection device 3 is located on one side of the main body 23 along the circumferential direction, and the other part of the conductivity detection device 3 is located on the top side of the main body 23 away from the circumferential side wall along the radial direction of the clothes drum 1. During the rotation of the clothes drum 1, when the clothes and the lifting ribs 2 move relative to each other, the clothes are easy to rub against the top side of the main body 23. Since the diameter of the clothes chamber 1a is limited, the size of the main body 23 is limited, the area of ​​the top side of the main body 23 is small, and the area of ​​the side of the main body 23 along the circumferential direction is relatively large, which is convenient for arranging the conductivity detection device 3. At least part of the conductivity detection device 3 is located on the side of the main body 23 along the circumferential direction. The size of the conductivity detection device 3 can be larger, and the number and density of the first teeth 312 and the second teeth 322 can be increased to improve the detection accuracy, and the wear between the clothes and the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 can also be reduced.

[0106] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 7The main body 23 includes two side plates 231, a top plate 232 and an end plate 233. The two side plates 231 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction. The bottom ends of the two side plates 231 are connected to the circumferential side wall 12 of the clothes holding drum 1, the top plate 232 is connected to the top ends of the two side plates 231, and the end plate 233 is connected to the front ends of the two side plates 231. The internal space defined by the top plate 232, the end plate 233 and the two side plates 231 is part of the accommodating groove 2a. At least part of the conductivity detection device 3 is located on the outer surface of the side plate 231, and the first electrode member 31 and the second electrode member 32 are roughly in the same plane to facilitate the fitting of the side plate 231.

[0107] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 , the distance between the top ends of the two side plates 231 is smaller than the distance between the bottom ends of the two side plates 231, that is, with the plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction as the projection surface, the projection profile of the main body 23 is roughly trapezoidal.

[0108] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The lifting rib 2 includes an extension portion 22 connected to the rear end of the main body portion 23, and the extension portion 22 is arranged on the rear surface of the clothing chamber 1a. Without increasing the radial dimension of the lifting rib 2 as a whole, the extension portion 22 is arranged on the rear surface of the clothing chamber 1a to increase the volume of the receiving groove 2a, thereby accommodating structures such as the cable 5 and the control panel; the extension portion 22 can cover a part of the rear surface of the clothing chamber 1a, so as to cover structures such as the wire hole 11a of the rear side wall 11 of the clothing barrel 1.

[0109] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The extension part 22 opens toward the rear side, and the rear surface of the clothing storage cavity 1a can shield the rear opening of the extension part 22. The inner space of the extension part 22 can be a part of the receiving groove 2a.

[0110] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The extension portion 22 can extend toward the rotation axis of the clothes drum 1, and in the radial direction of the clothes drum 1, the vertex of the extension portion 22 protrudes from the vertex of the main body portion 23. That is, the outer contours of the main body portion 23 and the extension portion 22 are generally L-shaped.

[0111] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The rearward surface of the extension part 22 is in contact with the rear surface of the clothing chamber 1a. In this way, the gap between the extension part 22 and the rear surface of the clothing chamber 1a can be reduced, and the hair scraps in the clothing chamber 1a are prevented from entering the receiving groove 2a through the gap.

[0112] In one embodiment, the lifting ribs 2 can be in sealing contact with the surface of the clothing holding cavity 1a. For example, the extension portion 22 is in sealing contact with the surface of the clothing holding cavity 1a, and the main body portion 23 is in sealing contact with the surface of the clothing holding cavity 1a. Specifically, the two side plates 231 and one end plate 233 are in sealing contact with the circumferential surface of the clothing holding cavity 1a. With such a design, the receiving tank 2a is roughly a sealed chamber. In the case where the clothing processing device is a washing and drying device, the probability of water and the like entering the receiving tank 2a is reduced to avoid affecting the electrical components such as the first terminal 34, the second terminal 35, the cable 5 and the control panel in the receiving tank 2a.

[0113] In some embodiments, the cable 5 can be sealed and passed through the wire hole 11a. In other words, the gap between the cable 5 and the hole wall of the wire hole 11a can be sealed. For example, the gap between the cable 5 and the hole wall of the wire hole 11a is sealed by a sealing ring or other sealing structure. In this way, when the clothing processing device is a washing and drying device, water leakage or air leakage in the gap between the cable 5 and the hole wall of the wire hole 11a can be avoided.

[0114] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The clothes drum 1 includes a drum body 101 and a rear end cover 102. The front side of the drum body 101 has a clothes delivery port, and the rear end cover 102 closes the rear end opening of the drum body 101. The wire hole 11a can be formed in the rear end cover 102, and the wireless power receiving module 4 can be arranged on the rear side of the rear end cover 102.

[0115] In one embodiment, the clothing processing device includes a circulating air duct, and the rear side wall 11 of the clothing drum 1 is formed with at least one air inlet connected to the clothing cavity 1a, and the circulating air duct connects the air inlet and the air outlet of the clothing cavity 1a. For example, the rear end cover 102 is formed with an air inlet. The circulating air duct is used to provide a circulating airflow that repeatedly flows through the clothing cavity 1a. The airflow of the circulating air duct can enter the clothing cavity 1a through the air inlet, and the airflow in the clothing cavity 1a enters the circulating air duct through the air outlet. The airflow can circulate between the circulating air duct and the clothing cavity 1a.

[0116] It is understandable that the number of the air inlets may be one or more, for example, two, three, four or five, etc.

[0117] In one embodiment, the clothing processing device includes a housing, an air hood and a base, wherein the base is located in the housing and below the clothes drum 1, and the rear side wall 11 of the housing is formed with a return air port and an air supply port connected to the air inlet, wherein the height of the return air port is lower than the height of the air supply port. A heat exchange channel is formed in the base, and the two ends of the heat exchange channel are respectively connected to the air outlet and the return air port. The air hood is arranged around the air supply port and the return air port, and defines the air supply channel together with the rear side wall 11 of the housing. The heat exchange channel and the air supply channel together constitute a circulating air duct. The heat exchange channel is located upstream of the air supply channel along the air flow direction in the circulating air duct, and the air flow flows through the air outlet, the heat exchange channel, the return air port, the air supply channel, the air supply port and the air inlet in sequence.

[0118] The number of air supply outlets is not limited, and the air supply outlet can be one or more, for example, the number of air supply outlets is two, three, four or five, and so on.

[0119] In one embodiment, the clothing processing device includes a heat exchange component located in the heat exchange channel, and the heat exchange component is used to exchange heat with the airflow in the heat exchange channel, thereby dehumidifying and heating. The humid hot airflow in the clothing storage chamber 1a can enter the heat exchange channel through the air outlet, and after heat and mass exchange with the heat exchange component, it is converted into a dry hot airflow, and the dry hot airflow enters the air supply channel through the return air port, and then flows back to the clothing storage chamber 1a through the air supply port and the air inlet.

[0120] In some embodiments, the heat exchange component includes a condenser and an evaporator, and the clothing processing device also includes a compressor and a throttling device. The compressor, condenser, throttling device and evaporator are connected through pipelines to form a heat pump system, and the refrigerant can circulate in the heat pump system. The airflow in the circulating air duct exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator and the condenser to form a dry hot airflow. The evaporator is used to cool and dehumidify the hot and humid airflow from the clothing chamber 1a into a dry cold airflow; the condenser heats the dry cold airflow into a dry hot airflow and refluxes it into the clothing chamber 1a.

[0121] The working principle of the heat pump system is as follows: the compressor sucks in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and compresses it into high pressure before discharging; the discharged high-pressure refrigerant enters the condenser, and the refrigerant in the condenser transfers heat to the airflow to condense into high-pressure liquid; the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the throttling device to throttle and reduce pressure, and then becomes a low-pressure and low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture and enters the evaporator; the refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs the heat of the airflow and becomes a low-pressure gas; the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is sucked in by the compressor again; this cycle is repeated to achieve heat exchange. In other words, the evaporator is used to cool and dehumidify the humid and hot airflow from the clothing chamber 1a to form a dry and cold airflow, and the condenser heats the dry and cold airflow into a dry and hot airflow and then flows back to the clothing chamber 1a. The dry and hot airflow flowing back to the clothing chamber 1a contacts the wet clothes and forms a humid and hot airflow again, completing a drying cycle. By repeatedly running the drying cycle, the circulating airflow is continuously provided to the clothing chamber 1a to dry the clothes.

[0122] Exemplarily, both the evaporator and the condenser may be fin-tube heat exchangers.

[0123] Exemplarily, the throttling device includes but is not limited to an electronic expansion valve and the like.

[0124] In one embodiment, the clothes processing device includes a wind wheel, which is used to drive the airflow. Exemplarily, the wind wheel is located in the heat exchange channel and between the heat exchange component and the return air port. In the process of drying clothes, the wind wheel is used to drive the airflow flowing through the clothes to flow through the evaporator and the condenser in sequence, and then blow to the clothes to form circulating wind. The wind wheel can speed up the airflow and improve the drying efficiency.

[0125] In some embodiments, the box may be substantially in the shape of a hexahedron, for example, a cube or a cuboid.
