[0035] 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.

[0036] In the related art, the internal space of the lifting rib has many reinforcing ribs and a complex internal structure. For example, multiple reinforcing ribs isolate the internal space of the lifting rib into multiple chambers distributed along the length direction of the lifting rib. The volume of each chamber is very small and it is difficult to place electrical components or other structural parts.

[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The clothing processing device includes a clothes holding drum 1 and a lifting rib 2. The clothes holding drum 1 has a clothes holding cavity 1a. The lifting rib 2 is disposed in the clothes holding cavity 1a, and a connecting channel 2a extending along the length direction is formed in the lifting rib 2. Specifically, the connecting channel 2a extends along the length direction of the lifting rib 2, that is, the length direction of the connecting channel 2a is consistent with the length direction of the lifting rib 2. The connecting channel 2a is uninterrupted along the length direction of the lifting rib 2, and the connecting channel 2a can be a channel that passes through along the length direction.

[0038] The clothes processing device is a device with 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] In the clothing processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application, a connecting channel 2a extending in the length direction is formed in the lifting rib 2, so that the size of the connecting channel 2a in the length direction can be larger, so as to facilitate the placement of the electrical components 3 or other structural parts. The connecting channel 2a can provide an installation position for the electrical components 3 or other structural parts, and the electrical components 3 or other structural parts located in the connecting channel 2a can move with the clothes holding barrel 1. The lifting rib 2 can be used to move the clothes in the clothes holding cavity 1a, and can also be reused to provide installation space for the electrical components 3, which can protect the electrical components 3 located in the connecting channel 2a from contacting with the clothes to a certain extent, and can improve the convenience of assembling the electrical components 3.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The clothes processing device comprises electrical components 3, and at least a portion of at least one electrical component 3 is disposed in the communicating channel 2a.

[0042] The electrical component 3 may be a structural component that can realize at least one electrical function and / or is used in a circuit to realize at least one electrical function.

[0043] At least part of the electrical component 3 is disposed in the communication channel 2a. The electrical component 3 may be completely located in the communication channel 2a, or part of the electrical component 3 may be located in the communication channel 2a.

[0044] The number of the electrical components 3 can be one, two, three or more.

[0045] In this embodiment, at least a portion of at least one electrical component 3 is disposed in the communication channel 2 a so as to provide an installation position for the at least one electrical component 3 .

[0046] 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.

[0047] 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.

[0048] For some examples, see Figure 2 The clothes holding tube 1 is roughly in the shape of a hollow cylinder.

[0049] 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 .

[0050] 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.

[0051] The clothes holding drum 1 can be made of metal material, such as stainless steel.

[0052] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 6 The clothes processing device comprises a cable 4 and a wireless power receiving module 5, wherein the wireless power receiving module 5 is arranged in the clothes holding drum 1, and the cable 4 connects the wireless power receiving module 5 and at least one electrical component 3. The cable 4 can transmit electrical signals.

[0053] The wireless power receiving module 5 receives electrical energy wirelessly, and the cable 4 connects the wireless power receiving module 5 and at least one electrical component 3. The cable 4 can transmit the electrical energy of the wireless power receiving module 5 to the electrical component 3, that is, the wireless power receiving module 5 can provide electrical energy for the electrical component 3.

[0054] In this embodiment, the wireless power receiving module 5 receives electric energy wirelessly, so the wireless power receiving module 5 does not need to be connected to an external power source through a conductive wire, thereby avoiding interference between the conductive wire and the clothes drum 1 during rotation.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the wireless power receiving module 5 is located at the rear side of the clothes drum 1. Exemplarily, the wireless power receiving module 5 is located in the central area of ​​the rear side wall 11 of the clothes drum 1. The wireless power receiving module 5 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 5, thereby improving safety.

[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The lifting rib 2 includes an extension portion 21 disposed on the rear surface of the clothing chamber 1a, the wireless power receiving module 5 is disposed on the rear side of the clothing barrel 1, the rear side wall 11 of the clothing barrel 1 is formed with a wire hole 11a, the extension portion 21 covers the wire hole 11a, and the cable 4 passes through the wire hole 11a and extends into the connecting channel 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 21.

[0057] 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 4 is connected to the wireless power receiving module 5, and the other end of the cable 4 passes through the wire hole 11a and enters the communication channel 2a, and the distance between the wireless power receiving module 5 and the wire hole 11a can be short, which can reduce the situation of the cable 4 winding. On the other hand, the extension part 21 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 4 entering the clothes holding cavity 1a, and avoid the cable 4 from contacting the clothes as much as possible.

[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The electrical component 3 includes a control board located in the communication channel 2a, and the cable 4 connects the wireless power receiving module 5 and the control board, and at least a part of the cable 4 is located in the communication channel 2a.

[0059] The control board can control the power supply on and off, for example, the control board can turn on or off the power transmission of the wireless power receiving module 5. The control board can also be used to implement other control functions.

[0060] In this embodiment, the wireless power receiving module 5, the control panel and the cable 4 all move synchronously with the clothes drum 1, and the rotation of the clothes drum 1 will not cause the cable 4 to be entangled or other problems. The cable 4 transmits the power of the wireless power receiving module 5 to the control panel, and has high reliability. At least part of the cable 4 is located in the communication channel 2a, which can reduce the probability of the load such as clothes in the clothes drum 1 contacting the cable 4, thereby improving safety.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The clothing processing device includes a box body and a wireless power transmitting module 7, the clothes drum 1 is located in the box body, and the wireless power transmitting module 7 can be arranged on the back plate 8 of the box body. The wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 transmit electric energy contactlessly, that is, the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 transmit electric energy wirelessly, and the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 can realize electric energy transmission without being connected by conductive wires.

[0062] Exemplarily, the wireless power transmitting module 7 includes a transmitting coil, and the wireless power receiving module 5 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.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the clothes drum 1 is in a rotating state, the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the wireless power receiving module 5 can still provide relatively high-power electric energy to the electrical devices such as the conductivity detection device 6 to meet the power demand.

[0064] In some embodiments, the wireless power transmitting module 7 may be located at the front side of the back plate 8 of the box. Exemplarily, the wireless power transmitting module 7 may be arranged at a portion of the back plate 8 of the box corresponding to the central area of ​​the clothes drum 1, and the wireless power transmitting module 7 may be aligned with the wireless power receiving module 5. With the plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction as the projection plane, the projection of the wireless power transmitting module 7 and the projection of the wireless power receiving module 5 at least partially overlap.

[0065] Exemplarily, the wireless power receiving module 5 includes a housing, which is annular in shape, and the receiving coil is accommodated in the housing. The housing can be used to protect the receiving coil.

[0066] In one embodiment, the electrical component 3 includes at least one of a control board and a wireless receiving circuit board. For example, the control board may be located in the communication channel 2a; the wireless receiving circuit board may be located in the communication channel 2a; or both the control board and the wireless receiving circuit board may be located in the communication channel 2a.

[0067] 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.

[0068] The wireless receiving circuit board may include at least one of a modulation and demodulation circuit and a power output circuit. The modulation and demodulation circuit can realize signal conversion. The power output circuit can realize electric energy output.

[0069] In this embodiment, at least one of the control board and the wireless receiving circuit board is arranged in the connecting channel 2a to protect the control board and / or the wireless receiving circuit board from contacting the clothes, thereby reducing the risk of damage.

[0070] In some embodiments, the control board may include an MCU, ie, a Microcontroller Unit.

[0071] In some embodiments, the wireless receiving circuit board can be arranged on the cable 4 between the control board and the wireless power receiving module 5. That is, the cable 4 can be divided into two sections, one of which connects the wireless power receiving module 5 and the wireless receiving circuit board, and the other of which connects the wireless receiving circuit board and the control board. The wireless receiving circuit board can process the electrical signal from the wireless power receiving module 5 and transmit it to the control board. Exemplarily, the voltage of the control board is relatively low, and the wireless receiving circuit board can reduce the voltage from the wireless power receiving module 5 to 12V or 5V and then transmit it to the control board.

[0072] It should be noted that the unit "V" stands for volt.

[0073] In the related art, the dryness of clothes is judged by sensors, and the sensors are arranged on the front support of the clothes processing equipment, and the front support is located on the front side of the clothes holding drum. The distance between the sensors and the loads such as clothes in the clothes holding cavity is relatively far, which may easily lead to inaccurate judgment.

[0074] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The clothing processing device includes a conductivity detection device 6 , at least part of which is arranged on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2 .

[0075] The conductivity detection device 6 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 6. As an example, the principle of the conductivity detection device 6 can be: the load in the clothing chamber 1a contacts the two electrode members of the conductivity detection device 6, 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.

[0076] In this embodiment, the conductivity detection device 6 is arranged on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2. The conductivity detection device 6 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.

[0077] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , at least part of the conductivity detection device 6 is located on an outer side surface of the lifting rib 2 along the circumferential direction. For example, the entirety of the conductivity detection device 6 is located on an outer side surface of the lifting rib 2 along the circumferential direction. For another example, part of the conductivity detection device 6 is located on an outer side surface of the lifting rib 2 along the circumferential direction, and the other part of the conductivity detection device 6 is located on the top side surface of the lifting rib 2 radially away from the circumferential side wall 12 of the clothes holding drum 1. During the rotation of the clothes holding drum 1, when the clothes and the lifting rib 2 move relative to each other, the clothes are easy to rub against the top side surface of the lifting rib 2. Since the diameter of the clothes holding cavity 1a is limited, the size of the lifting rib 2 is limited, the area of ​​the top side surface of the lifting rib 2 is small, and the area of ​​the outer side surface of the lifting rib 2 along the circumferential direction is relatively large, which is convenient for arranging the conductivity detection device 6. At least part of the conductivity detection device 6 is located on the outer side surface of the lifting rib 2 along the circumferential direction. The size of the conductivity detection device 6 can be large, so as to improve the detection accuracy and reduce the wear between the clothes and the conductivity detection device 6.

[0078] In the related art, the 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.

[0079] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 10 The conductivity detection device 6 includes a first electrode member 61 and a second electrode member 62, both of which are located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 2, and the first electrode member 61 includes a first connecting portion 611 and at least two first teeth 612 connected to the first connecting portion 611. The second electrode member 62 includes a second connecting portion 621 and at least two second teeth 622 connected to the second connecting portion 621, and the first teeth 612 and the second teeth 622 are arranged alternately. In other words, there is a second tooth 622 between any two adjacent first teeth 612, and the distance between the first tooth 612 and the second tooth 622 is greater than zero.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first teeth 612 and the second teeth 622 are alternately arranged to form a fork structure, a first tooth 612 and a second tooth 622 form an electrode pair, the conductivity detection device 6 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 6, can avoid problems such as under-drying or over-drying to a certain extent, and improve the drying performance.

[0081] The specific structural form of the first tooth 612 is not limited, and can be in the form of a sheet or a column, etc. The specific structural form of the second tooth 622 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 can be understood that the polygon can include a rounded polygon.

[0082] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 8 to 10, the first connection part 611 and the second connection part 621 are both linearly extended in parallel, and all the first teeth 612 and all the second teeth 622 are located between the first connection part 611 and the second connection part 621. In other words, the first connection part 611 and the second connection part 621 can both be roughly in a straight line structure or a curved line structure. Exemplarily, the shape of the first tooth 612 is roughly the same as the shape of the second tooth 622, the first tooth 612 is roughly parallel to the second tooth 622, and the first connection part 611 and the second connection part 621 are both in a straight line structure and roughly parallel.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first electrode member 61 and the second electrode member 62 have simple and compact structures and neat and beautiful appearances.

[0084] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 8 to 10 , the first electrode member 61 and the second electrode member 62 are substantially in the same plane. Thus, the first electrode member 61 and the second electrode member 62 are both substantially flat, occupying a small space, thus saving space in the clothing chamber 1a.

[0085] The first electrode member 61 and the second electrode member 62 are both made of conductive material. For example, the first electrode member 61 and the second electrode member 62 are both made of metal material.

[0086] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 , a portion of the first tooth 612 protrudes in a direction away from the lifting rib 2 to form a first protrusion 6121. The first protrusion 6121 can not only enhance the structural strength of the first tooth 612, but also facilitate contact with clothing and increase the contact area with clothing.

[0087] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 The second teeth 622 are partially protruded in a direction away from the lifting rib 2 to form a second protrusion 6221. The second protrusion 6221 can not only enhance the structural strength of the second teeth 622, but also facilitate contact with clothing and increase the contact area with clothing.

[0088] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 The surface of the first tooth 612 away from the lifting rib 2 is an arc surface. The surface of the first tooth 612 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 612.

[0089] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 The surface of the second tooth 622 away from the lifting rib 2 is an arc surface. The surface of the second tooth 622 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 622.

[0090] In one embodiment, the first protrusion 6121 may be in a convex arc shape. The surface of the first protrusion 6121 away from the lifting rib 2 is in an arc shape.

[0091] In one embodiment, the second protrusion 6221 may be in a convex arc shape. The surface of the second protrusion 6221 away from the lifting rib 2 is in an arc shape.

[0092] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 ,as well as Figures 8 to 10 The conductivity detection device 6 includes a fixed terminal 63, which is connected to the first connection portion 611, and the clothes drum 1 is connected to the fixed terminal 63. When the fixed terminal 63 is connected to the clothes drum 1, and the first electrode member 61 and the second electrode member 62 are conductive, the clothes drum 1 can be used as a part of the first electrode member 61, thereby reducing the measurement error caused by polarization.

[0093] The fixed terminal 63 may be made of a conductive material, for example, the fixed terminal 63 is made of a metal material.

[0094] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 10 The conductivity detection device 6 includes a first terminal 64 and a second terminal 65. The first terminal 64 is connected to the first electrode member 61, and the second terminal 65 is connected to the second electrode member 62. The first terminal 64 and the second terminal 65 both extend into the connecting channel 2a and are connected to the control board.

[0095] For example, the first terminal 64 is connected to one of the first teeth 612 , and the second terminal 65 is connected to one of the second teeth 622 .

[0096] In this embodiment, the first terminal 64 and the second terminal 65 are connected to the control board to form an electrical circuit. The first terminal 64, the second terminal 65 and the control board are all located in the communication channel 2a, and the first terminal 64, the second terminal 65 and the control board are avoided from contacting the load as much as possible, which can improve safety.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first electrode member 61 may be an integrally formed structure, that is, the first connecting portion 611 and the first teeth 612 may be integrally formed and manufactured.

[0098] In some embodiments, the first electrode member 61 , the first terminal 64 and the fixed terminal 63 may be an integrally formed structure.

[0100] In some embodiments, the second electrode member 62 and the second terminal 65 may be an integrally formed structure.

[0101] It can be understood that, unless otherwise stated, the circumferential direction in the embodiment of the present application is the direction around the rotation axis of the clothes drum 1, and the radial direction is the direction along the radius of the clothes drum 1. The circumferential side wall 12 of the clothes drum 1 is the side wall around the rotation axis of the clothes drum 1. The circumferential surface of the clothes chamber 1a is the circumferential surface of the clothes chamber 1a around the rotation axis.

[0102] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lifting rib 2 includes a main body 22 and an extension 21, the main body 22 is arranged on the circumferential surface of the clothing holding cavity 1a, the extension 21 is connected to the rear end of the main body 22 and is arranged on the rear surface of the clothing holding cavity 1a, and the communication channel 2a extends from the main body 22 to the extension 21. For example, the communication channel 2a can extend from the main body 22 to the extension 21 without interruption. The space in the main body 22 and the space in the extension 21 are both the communication channel 2a.

[0103] In this embodiment, without increasing the radial dimension of the lifting rib 2 as a whole, the extension portion 21 is arranged on the rear surface of the clothing cavity 1a to increase the volume of the connecting channel 2a, thereby accommodating structures such as the cable 4 and the control panel; the extension portion 21 can cover a partial area of ​​the rear surface of the clothing cavity 1a, so as to shield structures such as the wire hole 11a of the rear side wall 11 of the clothing barrel 1.

[0104] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 7 ,as well as Fig.10 , at least part of the conductivity detection device 6 is located on a side surface of the main body 22 along the circumferential direction. The area of ​​the side surface of the main body 22 along the circumferential direction is relatively large, which is convenient for arranging the conductivity detection device 6. At least part of the conductivity detection device 6 is located on the side surface of the main body 22 along the circumferential direction. The size of the conductivity detection device 6 can be larger, and the number and density of the first teeth 612 and the second teeth 622 can be increased to improve the detection accuracy, and the wear between the clothes and the first electrode member 61 and the second electrode member 62 can also be reduced.

[0105] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 ,as well as Figures 5 to 7 The extension portion 21 has an opening toward the rear side, and the rear surface of the clothing storage chamber 1a can cover the opening of the extension portion 21 toward the rear side.

[0106] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The extension portion 21 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 21 protrudes from the vertex of the main body portion 22. That is, the outer contours of the main body portion 22 and the extension portion 21 are substantially L-shaped.

[0107] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The rearward surface of the extension part 21 is in contact with the rear surface of the clothing chamber 1a. In this way, the gap between the extension part 21 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 communication channel 2a through the gap.

[0108] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 ,as well as Figures 4 to 7 The main body 22 includes two side plates 221, a top plate 222 and an end plate 223. The two side plates 221 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction. The bottom ends of the two side plates 221 are connected to the circumferential side wall 12 of the clothes holding drum 1, the top plate 222 is connected to the top ends of the two side plates 221, and the end plate 223 is connected to the front ends of the two side plates 221. The internal space defined by the top plate 222, the end plate 223 and the two side plates 221 is part of the communication channel 2a. The first electrode member 61 and the second electrode member 62 are both located on the outer surface of the side plate 221, and the first electrode member 61 and the second electrode member 62 are roughly in the same plane to facilitate the fitting of the side plate 221.

[0109] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 , the distance between the top ends of the two side plates 221 is smaller than the distance between the bottom ends of the two side plates 221, that is, with the plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction as the projection surface, the projection profile of the main body 22 is roughly trapezoidal.

[0110] 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 clothing access opening, 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 5 can be arranged on the rear side of the rear end cover 102.

[0111] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 6The lifting rib 2 includes a partition plate 201 located in the connecting channel 2a, and the partition plate 201 divides the connecting channel 2a into a first sub-groove 2aa and a second sub-groove 2ab. The first sub-groove 2aa is located on the side of the second sub-groove 2ab radially away from the peripheral side wall 12 of the clothes drum 1. Exemplarily, the first sub-groove 2aa can be a through groove that runs through in the length direction. At least one electrical component 3 is located in the first sub-groove 2aa. 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.

[0112] In this embodiment, the partition plate 201 divides the communication channel 2a into a first sub-groove 2aa and a second sub-groove 2ab distributed in the radial direction, rather than multiple sub-grooves distributed in the front-to-back direction. 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 long electrical component 3 or other structural parts.

[0113] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The lifting rib 2 includes a fixing portion 202, which is located in the second sub-groove 2ab and connected to the partition plate 201, and a fastener is provided through the fixing portion 202 and the peripheral side wall 12 of the clothes holding drum 1. The fastener is provided through the fixing portion 202 and the peripheral side wall 12 of the clothes holding drum 1, and the fixing portion 202 is located in the second sub-groove 2ab, so that the fastener and the fixing portion 202 can avoid interfering with the layout of the electrical components 3.

[0114] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The partition plate 201 may be substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the clothes drum 1, thereby dividing the communication channel 2a into a first sub-groove 2aa and a second sub-groove 2ab distributed along the radial direction of the clothes drum 1. The partition plate 201 may connect the groove wall surface of the communication channel 2a along the circumferential direction.

[0115] Compared with the related art in which the internal space in the lifting rib is divided 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 the electrical components 3 and other structural parts. The volume of the second sub-groove 2ab can be larger to facilitate the placement of the fastener and the fixing part 202. The second sub-groove 2ab is close to the peripheral side wall 12 of the clothes drum 1, reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0116] Fasteners include but are not limited to screws or bolts and the like.

[0117] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6The lifting rib 2 includes a reinforcing rib 203 located in the second sub-groove 2ab, and the reinforcing rib 203 connects the partition plate 201 and the groove wall surface of the second sub-groove 2ab. The reinforcing rib 203 is used to further increase the structural strength of the lifting rib 2.

[0118] For some examples, see Figure 5 There can be multiple partition plates 201, and multiple partition plates 201 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. In this way, the structural strength of the lifting rib 2 at multiple positions in the front-to-back direction can be effectively increased, and the electrical components 3 and other structural parts located in the first sub-groove 2aa can be easily placed in or taken out.

[0119] In one embodiment, the lifting ribs 2 can be in sealing contact with the surface of the clothing chamber 1a. For example, the extension portion 21 is in sealing contact with the surface of the clothing chamber 1a, and the main body portion 22 is in sealing contact with the surface of the clothing chamber 1a. Specifically, the two side plates 221 and one end plate 223 are in sealing contact with the circumferential surface of the clothing chamber 1a. With such a design, the connecting channel 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 connecting channel 2a is reduced to avoid affecting the electrical components such as the first terminal 64, the second terminal 65, the cable 4 and the control panel in the connecting channel 2a.

[0120] In some embodiments, the cable 4 can be sealed and passed through the wire hole 11a. That is, the gap between the cable 4 and the hole wall of the wire hole 11a can be sealed. For example, the gap between the cable 4 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 4 and the hole wall of the wire hole 11a can be avoided.

[0121] 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.

[0122] It is understandable that the number of the air inlets may be one or more, for example, two, three, four or five, etc.

[0123] In one embodiment, the clothing processing device includes a housing, an air hood and a base. The base is located in the housing and below the clothes drum 1. The rear side wall of the housing is formed with a return air port and an air supply port connected to the air inlet. The height of the return air port is lower than that of the air supply port. The base is formed with a heat exchange channel. 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 together with the rear side wall of the housing, defines the air supply channel. 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.

[0124] 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.

[0125] 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.

[0126] 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.

[0127] 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.

[0128] Exemplarily, both the evaporator and the condenser may be fin-tube heat exchangers.

[0129] Exemplarily, the throttling device includes but is not limited to an electronic expansion valve and the like.

[0130] 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.
