[0072] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 1 As shown, the clothing processing device includes a drying module 10 and a clothing processing drum 20. The clothing processing drum 20 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air outlet of the drying module 10 is connected to the air inlet of the clothing processing drum 20, and the air inlet of the drying module 10 is connected to the air outlet of the clothing processing drum 20, so that the gas in the clothing processing drum 20 is continuously dehydrated through the drying module 10, thereby achieving the purpose of drying the clothes in the clothing processing drum 20.
[0073] Specifically, Figure 3 to Figure 8 As shown, the heating module 100 includes: a module shell, a heating component 130 and a regeneration fan 150. The module shell includes a first end 101 and a second end 102 opposite to each other. The first end 101 is formed with an air inlet 103, and the second end 102 is formed with an air outlet 104. An air duct connecting the air inlet 103 and the air outlet 104 is formed between the first end 101 and the second end 102. The heating component 130 is arranged in the air duct, and the regeneration fan 150 is connected to the air inlet 103 of the module shell.
[0074] Among them, Figures 4 to 10 As shown, in the second direction Z perpendicular to the first direction X pointing from the first end 101 to the second end 102, the height of the area in the air duct where the heating component 130 is provided is greater than the height of the area where the heating component 130 is not provided; the first direction X can be the length direction of the module shell, and the second direction Z is the height direction of the module shell.
[0075] The heating module 100 provided in the present disclosure, at the position where the heating component 130 is set, by making the height of the area where the heating component 130 is set in the air duct greater than the height of the area where the heating component 130 is not set, when the regeneration fan 150 delivers cold air to the position where the heating component 130 is located, since the height of the air duct here is larger than the height of other areas, the air duct with a larger height is conducive to the airflow converging to the heating component 130 for a period of time and then entering the dehumidification module through the air outlet 104, thereby improving the heating effect of the heating module 100 on the airflow, so that the heating temperature of the heated airflow is suitable for desorbing moisture from the moisture absorption and dehumidification component.
[0076] Specifically, the module housing includes an upper housing 110 and a lower housing 120, which are buckled together to form an air duct having an air inlet 103 and an air outlet 104. A protrusion 121 protruding toward a side away from the upper housing 110 is formed on the large surface of the lower housing 120, and the heating assembly 130 is located between the protrusion 121 of the lower housing 120 and the upper housing 110.
[0077] The convex portion 121 of the lower shell 120 forms a accommodating space for the heating component 130 so that the heating component 130 can be installed in the air duct. Due to the downward flow of the air flow, the air volume in the upper part of the air duct is smaller than that in the lower part. Increasing the space in the lower part of the air duct where the heating component 130 is set can make the heat generated by the heating component 130 be more in the lower part close to the larger air volume, thereby improving the effect of heating the air flow.
[0078] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a protruding structure 111 that protrudes toward a side away from the lower shell 120 may also be provided on the upper shell 110 to cooperate with the protruding portion 121 on the lower shell 120 to form an enlarged air duct for accommodating the heating assembly 130 .
[0079] In one embodiment, Fig. 9 , Figure 12 to Figure 14 As shown, the heating module 100 further includes: a heat insulating member 160, which is arranged in the air duct and located between the heating assembly 130 and the air outlet 104, and the heat insulating member 160 is arranged adjacent to the inner wall of the module housing. The module housing is usually a plastic part, and the high-temperature hot air heated by the heating assembly 130 has the risk of melting the plastic part. By arranging the heat insulating member 160 in the air duct, the hot air passes through the heat insulating member 160 and then transfers the heat to the module housing, which can greatly reduce the temperature rise of the module housing by the high-temperature hot air; for example, the high-temperature hot air directly blows to the module housing, which will cause the module housing to heat up to 200° to 300°. By arranging the heat insulating member 160, the temperature of the module housing can be kept at about 150°, thereby avoiding damage to the module housing by the high-temperature gas, and at the same time reducing the requirements for the heat resistance of the module housing, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the module housing.
[0080] Among them, the thermal insulation member 160 can be formed of thermal insulation materials such as aluminum and sheet metal, or can be formed of mica sheets, asbestos or high-temperature resistant plastics (polyimide PI, polyetheretherketone PEEK, polyamideimide PAI, polybenzimidazole PBI, polyetherimide PEI, polyphenylene sulfide PPS, nylon 46, polysulfone PSU, polyethersulfone PES, polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE, polyvinylidene fluoride PVDF, etc.). The present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this, and any changes in the insulating materials are within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0081] The heat insulating member 160 may be attached to the inner wall of the air duct of the module housing, or may be arranged at a smaller preset distance, so that the high-temperature airflow heated by the heating assembly 130 can flow out through the heat insulating member 160 .
[0082] like Figure 12 to Figure 14 As shown, the thermal insulation member 160 forms an insulating air duct, the inlet of the insulating air duct is arranged adjacent to the heating component 130, and the outlet of the insulating air duct is connected to the air outlet 104; in the second direction Z, at least part of the insulating air duct is reduced along the first direction X, that is, the cross-sectional height of the insulating air duct formed by the thermal insulation member 160 close to the heating component 130 is greater than the cross-sectional height of the end away from the heating component 130, and the cross-sectional height gradually decreases to prevent turbulence from forming on the side away from the heating component 130, and hot air gathers to cause local overheating.
[0083] like Fig.12 ~ Fig.14 As shown, in the second direction Z, the heat insulating member 160 includes a heat insulating top plate 161 and a heat insulating bottom plate 162 that are arranged opposite to each other, and at least a portion of the heat insulating bottom plate 162 is inclined along the first direction X toward a side close to the heat insulating top plate 161, so that at least a portion of the heat insulating air duct is reduced along the first direction X. Alternatively, at least a portion of the heat insulating top plate 161 is inclined along the first direction X toward a side close to the heat insulating bottom plate 162, so that at least a portion of the heat insulating air duct is reduced along the first direction X; or, at least a portion of the heat insulating top plate 161 and the heat insulating bottom plate 162 are inclined toward each other along the first direction X; through the heat insulating top plate 161 and the heat insulating bottom plate 162, it is convenient to set a reduced heat insulating air duct.
[0084] Among them, Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the side of the heat insulation bottom plate 162 close to the heating assembly 130 includes an inclined portion 1621 , through which the heat insulation air duct is reduced in the first direction X. The heat insulation top plate 161 is an overall inclined surface, so that the airflow can flow out through the air outlet 104 better.
[0085] Among them, Fig.14 As shown, the side of the heat-insulating bottom plate 162 close to the heating component 130 abuts against or has a small gap with the shell of the heating component 130. Due to the setting of the inclined portion 1621, when the high-temperature airflow passes through the heating component 130 and flows between the heat-insulating bottom plate 162 and the heat-insulating top plate 161, it needs to rise at the position of the inclined portion 1621, and the flow rate of the high-temperature airflow is relatively fast; making the side of the heat-insulating bottom plate 162 close to the heating component 130 abut against the shell of the heating component 130 can prevent the relatively fast airflow from passing through the gap between the heat-insulating bottom plate 162 and the shell of the heating component 130 and causing high-temperature damage to the module shell.
[0086] In one embodiment, Figures 4 to 17 As shown, the heating module 100 also includes an air uniforming member 140, which is disposed at the air outlet 104 of the air duct, or near the air outlet 104 of the air duct. The heated gas flows out through the guidance of the air uniforming member 140. The air uniforming member 140 can make the heated gas flow out more evenly, so as to enhance the dehumidification effect of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member.
[0087] The wind uniforming member 140 includes a first part and a second part, and the sum of the areas of the plurality of air outlet holes per unit area of the first part is greater than the sum of the areas of the plurality of air outlet holes per unit area of the second part.
[0088] like Fig.10 and 15 As shown, the air leveling member 140 includes a first air leveling plate 141 located in the air duct, and a plurality of first air outlet holes 1410 are provided on the first air leveling plate 141. The large surface of the first air leveling plate 141 intersects with the first direction X. In one embodiment, the first air leveling plate 141 is arranged perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first direction X. It should be clear to those skilled in the art that since the air leveling plate is a plate-shaped member, it usually has an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface connecting the upper surface and the lower surface. The large surface referred to in this application is the upper surface or the lower surface with the largest area.
[0089] The first air uniforming plate 141 is arranged in the air duct to uniformize the airflow in the air duct. Since the regeneration fan 150 is usually a centrifugal fan, affected by factors such as the rotation direction S of its impeller and the sinking of the airflow, the heated airflow has different flow velocities and / or unit heat at various positions of the air duct interface, which leads to uneven heating of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component, affecting the drying effect of the drying module.
[0090] Specifically, in the third direction Y intersecting both the first direction X and the second direction Z, the first air leveling plate 141 includes a first side and a second side opposite to each other; the regeneration fan 150 is a centrifugal fan, and the rotating shaft of the centrifugal fan extends along the second direction Z; an impeller of the centrifugal fan rotates in a direction from the first side to the second side at a position close to the first air leveling plate 141, the first part is arranged in a first area close to the first side, and the second part is arranged in a second area close to the second side, that is, the second side of the first air leveling plate 141 is located on the side of the first side facing the rotation direction S, and the sum of the areas of the plurality of first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the first area 1411 close to the first side on the first air leveling plate 141 is greater than the sum of the areas of the plurality of first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the second area 1412 close to the second side. Among them, the third direction Y may be perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Z, and the third direction Y may be the width direction of the module housing.
[0091] Among them, the regeneration fan 150 usually adopts a centrifugal fan. The airflow blown by the centrifugal fan is output along the direction of its impeller, which will cause the air volume on both sides of the air duct in the rotation direction S to be different, and the air volume on the second side of the air duct is greater than the air volume on the first side; when the gas provided by the regeneration fan 150 passes through the heating component 130 and enters the moisture absorption and dehumidification component, it will cause the temperature on the second side of the first air uniforming plate 141 to be too high, which is easy to cause uneven heating of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component. The present disclosure makes the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the first area 1411 close to the first side on the first air uniforming plate 141 greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the second area 1412 close to the second side, so that the wind resistance on the first side of the first air uniforming plate 141 is smaller than that on the second side, so that the air volume on the first side and the second side can be uniformized, so that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component is heated evenly, and the dehumidification effect is improved.
[0092] Specifically, in the second direction Z, the first air uniforming plate 141 includes opposite third and fourth sides, the third side is close to the top of the module shell, that is, close to the upper shell 110; the fourth side is close to the bottom of the module shell, that is, close to the lower shell 120; the first part is arranged in a third area close to the third side, and the second part is arranged in a fourth area close to the fourth side, that is, the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the third area close to the third side on the first air uniforming plate 141 is greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the fourth area close to the fourth side.
[0093] Due to the influence of factors such as gas sinking, the air volume of the heated airflow in the air duct near the lower shell 120 is greater than the air volume near the upper shell 110, which leads to uneven heating of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component, affecting the drying effect of the drying module. The present invention makes the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the third region near the third side on the first air uniforming plate 141 greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the fourth region near the fourth side, so that the wind resistance on the third side of the first air uniforming plate 141 is smaller than that on the fourth side, so that the air volume on the third and fourth sides can be uniformized, so that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component is heated evenly, and the dehumidification effect is improved.
[0094] Specifically, Fig.16As shown, in the third direction Y, the first wind uniforming plate 141 also includes a middle area 1413 located between the first side and the second side; the wind uniforming member 140 also includes a third part, and the sum of the areas of the multiple air outlet holes per unit area of the first part and the sum of the areas of the multiple air outlet holes per unit area of the second part are both greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple air outlet holes per unit area of the third part, that is, the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the first area 1411 close to the first side and the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the second area 1412 close to the second side are both greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the middle area 1413.
[0095] When the regeneration fan 150 adopts a wide-mouth centrifugal fan (the width of the regeneration fan 150 outlet 104 is basically the same as the width of the regeneration fan 150 / air duct), the air volume in the middle of the air duct is the largest, and the air volume on one side is greater than the air volume on the other side. The present disclosure makes the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the first area 1411 close to the first side and the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the second area 1412 close to the second side greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the middle area 1413, so that the wind resistance of the first side and the second side of the first air uniforming plate 141 is smaller than the wind resistance of the middle area 1413, so that the air volume of the first side, the second side and the central area 1425 can be uniformed, so that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component is heated evenly, and the dehumidification effect is improved.
[0096] The diameter of the first air outlet hole 1410 on the first part is greater than the diameter of the first air outlet hole 1410 on the second part, and the diameter of the first air outlet hole 1410 on the second part is greater than the diameter of the first air outlet hole 1410 on the third part. A plurality of first air outlet holes 1410 are arranged in an array on the first part, the second part and the third part. By making the diameter of the first air outlet hole 1410 on the first part greater than the diameter of the first air outlet hole 1410 on the second part, and making the diameter of the first air outlet hole 1410 on the second part greater than the diameter of the first air outlet hole 1410 on the third part, when the distribution density of the first air outlet holes 1410 is equal, the wind resistance on the first side is smaller than the wind resistance on the second side, and the wind resistance on the second side is smaller than the wind resistance on the third side, so that the air volume on the first side can be increased and the air volume near the second side can be reduced, so that the air volume on the first side is equal to that on the second side and the third side, and a uniform wind effect is achieved.
[0097] Of course, the diameter of the first air outlet hole 1410 on the first part can also be made equal to the diameter of the first air outlet hole 1410 on the second part and the third part, and the wind resistance on the first side can be made smaller than that on the second side by increasing the distribution density of the first air outlet holes 1410 on the first part; the wind resistance on the second side can be made smaller than that in the middle area 1413 by increasing the distribution density of the first air outlet holes 1410 on the second part; or, the diameter and distribution density of the first air outlet holes 1410 on the first part, the second part and the third part can also be adjusted at the same time, so that the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the first area 1411 close to the first side on the first air uniforming plate 141 is greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the second area 1412 close to the second side; the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the second area 1412 on the second side is greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple first air outlet holes 1410 per unit area in the middle area 1413, and the present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0098] Among them, more areas can be set on the first wind uniforming plate 141 to set first air outlet holes 1410 with different air outputs in different areas to achieve a uniform wind effect, and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0099] Specifically, Fig.15 As shown, the wind uniforming member 140 includes a second wind uniforming plate 142 located at the air outlet 104, and the large surface of the second wind uniforming plate 142 intersects with the second direction Z; in one embodiment, the first wind uniforming plate 141 is arranged perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the second direction Z; and a plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 are provided on the second wind uniforming plate 142.
[0100] The wind uniforming member 140 further includes a third part, the sum of the areas of the plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area of the first part is greater than the sum of the areas of the plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area of the second part, and the sum of the areas of the plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area of the first part and the second part is less than the sum of the areas of the plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area of the third part. The second wind uniforming plate 142 includes a central area and an edge area surrounding the central area, the first part is arranged in the central area, and the second part and the third part are arranged in the edge area.
[0101] like Fig.17 As shown, in the first direction X, the second wind uniforming plate 142 includes a first edge region 1421 and a second edge region 1422 that are opposite to each other and a central region 1425 located between the first edge region 1421 and the second edge region 1422 .
[0102] The wind uniforming member 140 further includes a fourth portion, and the sum of the areas of the plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area of the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion is greater than the sum of the areas of the plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area of the fourth portion. The fourth portion is disposed in the first edge region 1421, and the second portion is disposed in the second edge region 1422, i.e., the sum of the areas of the plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the central region 1425 is greater than the sum of the areas of the plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the first edge region 1421 and the sum of the areas of the plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the second edge region 1422, respectively.
[0103] When the high-temperature gas provided by the heating module 100 enters the moisture absorption and dehumidification component as hot air, the air outlet 104 of the air duct corresponds to the position of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component, and the temperature in the middle of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component is required to be higher to achieve a better dehumidification effect. The present disclosure makes the sum of the areas of the multiple second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the central area 1425 greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the first edge area 1421 and the second edge area 1422, so that the high-temperature gas flow rate in the central area 1425 is larger, which can better heat the middle of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component and improve the dehumidification effect of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component.
[0104] Specifically, Fig.17 As shown, the first edge area 1421 is located on the side of the second edge area 1422 close to the heating component 130, the fourth part is arranged in the first edge area 1421, and the second part is arranged in the second edge area 1422, that is, the sum of the areas of the multiple second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the second edge area 1422 is greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the first edge area 1421.
[0105] The first edge area 1421 is close to the outlet air, and the wind resistance of the heated airflow in the first edge area 1421 is smaller than that in the second edge area 1422, resulting in a relatively large air volume in the first edge area 1421. The present disclosure increases the wind resistance of the first edge area 1421 and reduces the wind resistance of the second edge area 1422 by making the sum of the areas of the plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the second edge area 1422 greater than the sum of the areas of the plurality of second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the first edge area 1421, thereby achieving uniformity in the air volume of the first edge area 1421 and the second edge area 1422, so that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component is heated uniformly, thereby improving the dehumidification effect.
[0106] Specifically, Fig.17As shown, in the third direction Y intersecting the first direction X and the second direction Z, the second air leveling plate 142 includes a third edge area 1423 and a fourth edge area 1424 opposite to each other. The air outlet 104 of the heating module 100 is used to be arranged opposite to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component of the drying module, and the rotation axis of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component extends along the second direction Z. The same position of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component rotates along the third edge area 1423 toward the fourth edge area 1424 at the position of the second air leveling plate 142.
[0107] Among them, the third part is arranged in the third edge area 1423, the second part is arranged in the fourth edge area 1424, and the sum of areas of the multiple second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area of the third part is greater than the sum of areas of the multiple second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area of the second part, that is, the sum of areas of the multiple second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the third edge area 1423 is greater than the sum of areas of the multiple second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the central area 1425.
[0108] When the moisture absorption and dehumidification component rotates, each part along the rotation direction is sequentially opposite to the air outlet 104 of the heating module 100, so as to heat and dehumidify through high-temperature airflow; the temperature of the part corresponding to the air outlet 104 is relatively low at first, and gradually rises in temperature during the rotation process until it rotates away from the position corresponding to the air outlet 104 after heating and dehumidification. The heating module 100 provided by the present disclosure makes the sum of the areas of the multiple second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the third edge area 1423 greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the central area 1425, and greater than the sum of the areas of the multiple second air outlet holes 1420 per unit area in the fourth edge area 1424, so that the upstream air volume of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component is larger during dehumidification, and the downstream air volume is relatively small, so that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component that has just entered the dehumidification position can be quickly heated to improve the dehumidification effect; at the same time, it is prevented that the downstream temperature is too high to cause the shell component to melt.
[0109] Among them, the diameter of the second air outlet hole 1420 on the first part is larger than the diameter of the second air outlet hole 1420 on the second part, the diameter of the second air outlet hole 1420 on the third part is larger than the diameter of the second air outlet hole 1420 on the first part, and the diameter of the second air outlet hole 1420 on the second part is smaller than the diameter of the second air outlet hole 1420 on the fourth part; multiple second air outlet holes 1420 are arranged in an array on the first part, the second part, the third part and the fourth part, and when the distribution density of the second air outlet holes 1420 is similar, the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the first part is larger than the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the second part, the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the third part is larger than the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the first part, and the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the second part is smaller than the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the fourth part.
[0110] Of course, the diameters of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the first part, the second part, the third part, and the fourth part may be the same, and the distribution density of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the first part, the second part, the third part, and the fourth part may be adjusted so that the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the first part is greater than the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the second part, the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the third part is greater than the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the first part, and the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the second part is less than the sum of the areas of the second air outlet holes 1420 on the fourth part. The sum of the areas of the air holes 1420; or, the diameters and distribution densities of the second air holes 1420 on the first part, the second part, the third part, and the fourth part may be adjusted simultaneously, so that the sum of the areas of the second air holes 1420 on the first part is greater than the sum of the areas of the second air holes 1420 on the second part, the sum of the areas of the second air holes 1420 on the third part is greater than the sum of the areas of the second air holes 1420 on the first part, and the sum of the areas of the second air holes 1420 on the second part is less than the sum of the areas of the second air holes 1420 on the fourth part, and the present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0111] Specifically, Figure 12 to Figure 15 As shown, the wind uniforming member 140 also includes a wind guide side plate 143. The wind uniforming member 140 is arranged on the air outlet 104 of the module housing. Since the air outlet 104 faces the moisture absorption and dehumidification member, by arranging the wind guide side plate 143 on the wind uniforming member 140, the high-temperature airflow can enter the moisture absorption and dehumidification member through the second wind guide plate, thereby improving the dehumidification effect.
[0112] The wind guiding side plate 143 connects the first wind uniforming plate 141 and the second wind uniforming plate 142 , thereby improving the structural strength of the wind uniforming member 140 .
[0113] The air uniforming member 140 can be integrally formed by bending a metal plate, and a plurality of first air outlet holes 1410 and second air outlet holes 1420 are formed on the metal plate by punching, so as to facilitate edge forming and drilling of the metal plate.
[0114] Among them, the wind uniform component 140 and the thermal insulation component 160 can be made of the same material, for example, the wind uniform component 140 and the thermal insulation component 160 are both made of aluminum alloy; of course, the wind uniform component 140 and the thermal insulation component 160 can also be made of different materials, for example, the wind uniform component 140 is made of metal plate, and the thermal insulation component 160 is made of thermal insulation materials such as mica sheets.
[0115] The air leveling member 140 may be a splicing structure, and the air leveling member 140 is formed by splicing a plurality of plates, which reduces the difficulty of the manufacturing process and reduces the manufacturing cost. For example, the first air leveling plate 141 and the second air leveling plate 142 may be formed by punching a whole plate, and the air guide side plate 143 may be formed by splicing a plurality of side plates.
[0116] The heat insulating member 160 may be a splicing structure, and the wind uniforming member 140 is formed by splicing a plurality of plates, which reduces the difficulty of the manufacturing process and reduces the manufacturing cost. For example, the heat insulating top plate 161 and the heat insulating bottom plate 162 of the heat insulating member 160 are formed by splicing a plurality of mica sheets, and the heat insulating top plate 161 may also be formed by splicing a plurality of mica sheets, and the heat insulating bottom plate 162 may also be formed by splicing a plurality of mica sheets.
[0117] Specifically, the heating component 130 may include a component housing and an electric heating element, the electric heating element includes a heating wire and a thermostat, the heating wire is arranged in the component housing, the component housing forms a heating air duct, the airflow input by the regeneration fan 150 is heated through the heating air duct; the thermostat is connected to the heating wire, the thermostat is used to monitor the heat value generated by the heating wire, and can control the heating value of the heating wire according to the heat value, so that the heating wire heats the gas input by the regeneration fan 150 to a preset temperature output.
[0118] The thermostat can be arranged in the accommodation space of the component housing to obtain the heat value generated by the heating wire more accurately. Of course, the thermostat can also be arranged outside the component housing, and a connection hole is provided on the component housing to connect the thermostat to the heating wire.
[0119] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drying module 10 includes: a dehumidification module 200 and a heating module 100 provided in the above embodiment. Fig. 20 As shown, the dehumidification module 200 includes a dehumidification housing and a moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230. The dehumidification housing is formed with a receiving space having an air suction port and an air discharge port. At least a portion of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 is disposed in the receiving space. The moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 is configured to absorb moisture in the gas entering the receiving space. At least a portion of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 is disposed opposite to the air outlet on the housing of the heating module 100. The heating module 100 is configured to dehydrate the portion of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 located at the air outlet. The moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 may be a rotating disk, and gear teeth may be disposed on the edge of the rotating disk so as to mesh with the gear teeth of the rotating disk through the gear connected to the output shaft of the motor, thereby driving the rotating disk to rotate.
[0120] Specifically, the exhaust port of the dehumidification module 200 is connected to the air inlet of the clothing treatment drum 20, and the air intake port of the dehumidification module 200 is connected to the air outlet of the clothing treatment drum 20, so as to continuously adsorb the moisture in the gas in the clothing treatment drum 20 through the dehumidification module 200; the heating module 100 can heat the airflow and / or the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230, and the heated airflow passes through the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 in the dehumidification module 200 to dehumidify and dehydrate the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230, so that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 has the ability to absorb moisture again; during the rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230, it passes through the dehumidification area of the dehumidification module 200 and the dehydration area of the heating module 100, and continuously performs a cycle of adsorbing and desorbing moisture, thereby achieving the purpose of drying the moisture of the clothes in the clothing treatment drum 20. Among them, Figure 5 As shown, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 may be a rotating disk with meshing teeth on the edge thereof, and may pass through the dehumidification zone of the dehumidification module 200 and the dehydration zone of the heating module 100 by rotating.
[0121] Among them, Fig. 20 As shown, the dehumidification shell includes a first dehumidification shell 210 and a second dehumidification shell 220. The first dehumidification shell 210 and the second dehumidification shell 220 are enclosed to form a accommodating space, in which at least part of the accommodating space of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 is contained; the first dehumidification shell 210 and the second dehumidification shell 220 are respectively provided with ventilation holes to serve as air intake and air exhaust; wherein, a heating air hole 211 is formed on the first dehumidification shell 210.
[0122] Among them, a fan-shaped heating air hole 211 is formed on the first dehumidification shell 210, and the heating module 100 is installed on the fan-shaped heating air hole 211. The heating module 100 is located above the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230. Through the fan-shaped heating air hole 211, a larger heating area is provided between the heating module 100 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230.
[0123] Specifically, there is a first gas flow channel between the first dehumidification shell 210 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230, and there is also a second gas flow channel between the second dehumidification shell 220 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230. The first gas flow channel and the second gas flow form a dehumidification area of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230. The humid gas in the clothing treatment drum 20 can enter the first gas flow channel, absorb moisture through the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230, and then be discharged through the second gas flow; or, the humid gas in the clothing treatment drum 20 can enter the second gas flow channel, absorb moisture through the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230, and then be discharged through the first gas flow.
[0124] Among them, the air outlet of the heating module 100 is connected to the heating air hole 211 on the first dehumidification shell 210, that is, a third gas flow channel is formed between the heating module 100 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230; a fourth gas flow channel is formed between the second dehumidification shell 220 and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230, and the fourth gas flow channel of the second dehumidification shell 220 is separated from the second gas flow channel by a barrier to separate the dehumidification area from the dehydration area. The heated high-temperature dry gas enters the third gas flow channel to desorb moisture from the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230, and the humid gas after passing through the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 enters the fourth gas flow channel. During the rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230, various parts in the circumferential direction continuously pass through the dehumidification area and the dehydration area, thereby continuously performing a cycle of adsorbing and desorbing moisture, and finally achieving the purpose of drying the clothes in the clothing treatment drum 20.
[0125] The dehumidification area and the dehydration area are relatively isolated so that the dehumidification airflow in the first gas flow channel and the second gas flow and the dehydration airflow in the third gas flow channel and the fourth gas flow channel are not connected to each other, thereby ensuring the dehydration effect on the humid gas.
[0126] In one embodiment, the heating module 100 also includes a heat-resistant component, which is arranged at the air outlet 104 of the module shell, located on the side of the air outlet 104 close to the heating component 130, and the heat-resistant component is located between the module shell and the dehumidification shell, and is arranged opposite to the edge area of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230.
[0127] like Fig.18 and Fig.19 As shown, there is a gap 170 between the lower shell and the first dehumidification shell 210. When the dehumidification component 230 is stationary and the heating component 130 is still turned on in an abnormal state, heat can easily be transferred through the gap 170 to the first dehumidification shell 210 on the outer circle of the dehumidification component 230, resulting in the risk of the first dehumidification shell 210 being melted by heat.
[0128] The present invention provides a heat-isolating component in the gap 170 to prevent heat from being transferred to the first dehumidification shell 210 at the gap, thereby protecting the first dehumidification shell 210 outside the dehumidification component 230 from being melted by heat in an abnormal state where the dehumidification component 230 does not turn but the heating component is still turned on.
[0129] Specifically, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 can be made of a material with good moisture absorption performance to improve the moisture absorption capacity of humid gas, thereby improving the drying effect of the clothes in the laundry treatment drum 20. The material of the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 includes, for example, lithium chloride, silica gel, zeolite, molecular sieve, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.
[0130] The moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 may be provided with a moisture absorbent for absorbing moisture. The moisture absorbent may be, for example, zeolite, modified / synthetic zeolite, molecular sieve (including but not limited to zeolite molecular sieve, A / X / Y type molecular sieve, ZSM molecular sieve, Beta molecular sieve, etc.), polymer moisture absorbent, alkali metal aluminosilicate (13X molecular sieve), lithium chloride, silica gel, modified silica gel, activated alumina, and other materials with moisture absorption properties. Among them, the polymer moisture absorbent is also called a polymer adsorbent, which has a lower regeneration temperature than traditional silica gel, activated carbon, and molecular sieve adsorbents.
[0131] The moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 may be made of porous materials such as zeolite, molecular sieve, metal organic framework (MOF) material, covalent organic framework (COFs), nanocarbon, silicon dioxide, etc. In one embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 may also be formed by granular solid or particle filling including at least one of the above-mentioned porous materials.
[0132] The moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 may be a honeycomb or corrugated moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 carrying a desiccant, which can adsorb and desorb / desorb the absorbed water vapor to achieve repeated desorption and regeneration.
[0133] The moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 may include an inorganic / organic fiber carrier (such as ceramic, glass fiber, MOFs, COFs, cordierite, etc.), and the fiber carrier is coated with a moisture absorbent such as a molecular sieve, and the molecular sieve is evenly distributed between the fiber carriers and on the surface of the fiber carrier to achieve the adsorption of airflow moisture. The molecular sieve may include single crystal molecular sieves or mixed crystal molecular sieves such as A-type molecular sieve, X / Y-type molecular sieve, ZSM molecular sieve, and Beta molecular sieve.
[0134] The present disclosure does not limit the specific material of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230. Any moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 that can achieve the moisture absorption and dehumidification effect belongs to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0135] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drying module 10 is also provided with a circulation module 300, which includes an air blower, whose air inlet is connected to the air outlet of the clothing treatment drum 20, and whose air outlet is connected to the air inlet of the dehumidification module 200, so as to feed the gas to be dehumidified in the clothing treatment drum 20 into the dehumidification module 200; the gas to be dehumidified is formed into dry gas after being processed by the dehumidification module 200, so that the wet circulating gas is converted into dry circulating gas, and the dry gas enters the clothing treatment drum 20 through the air inlet of the clothing treatment drum 20 and contacts the clothes, thereby achieving the purpose of circulating dehumidification of the clothes in the clothing treatment drum 20.
[0136] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drying module 10 is also provided with a condensation module 400, which can condense and dehydrate the hot and humid gas after the moisture is desorbed by the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230, and the water vapor of the hot and humid gas is cooled to form condensed water and discharged from the condenser, and becomes dry and cold gas to be heated and enters the regeneration fan 150 of the heating module 100, so that the gas forms a closed loop. Of course, the dry and cold gas to be heated formed after the condenser treatment can also be directly discharged into the atmosphere, and the present disclosure does not limit this. Among them, the condensation module 400 may include a tubular condenser, and the hot and humid gas is cooled by the tubular condenser, so that the water vapor of the hot and humid gas is cooled to form condensed water and discharged from the condenser; the present disclosure does not limit the specific composition of the condensation module.
