[0045] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 11 A clothes treating device according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0046] The laundry processing device according to the embodiment of the present utility model may include: a housing 1 , a laundry processing tub assembly, a compressor 2 , an evaporator 3 and a condenser 4 .

[0047] The housing 1 defines a receiving chamber, and the clothes treatment drum assembly, the compressor 2, the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4 are all arranged in the receiving chamber, and the drum mouth of the clothes treatment drum assembly is arranged to face forward. Among them, the compressor 2 can absorb and compress the high-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant from the evaporator 3 into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid, and transport it to the condenser 4. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the external airflow of the condenser 4 at the condenser 4, and the refrigerant is converted into a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid. The refrigerant then enters the evaporator 3, absorbs external heat at the evaporator 3, and the refrigerant is converted into a high-temperature and low-pressure gas, and then returns to the compressor 2.

[0048] Since the compressor 2 needs to inhale the high-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant from the evaporator 3 and deliver the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant to the condenser 4, a refrigerant pipe 5 needs to be respectively provided between the compressor 2 and the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4 for connecting and transferring the refrigerant. The compressor 2 is located below the clothing treatment barrel assembly, and the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4 are located above the clothing treatment barrel assembly. The evaporator 3 and the condenser 4 are respectively connected to the compressor 2 through the refrigerant pipe 5. At least part of the refrigerant pipe 5 needs to be provided across the clothing treatment barrel assembly provided between the compressor 2, the condenser 4 and the evaporator 3. The provision of this part of the refrigerant pipe 5 needs to avoid the clothing treatment barrel assembly. Since the clothing treatment barrel assembly is provided in the middle of the accommodating cavity, the refrigerant pipe 5 needs to be provided in the portion close to the edge of the accommodating cavity to avoid the provision of the refrigerant pipe 5 affecting the normal operation of the clothing treatment barrel assembly.

[0049] In some embodiments, the refrigerant pipe 5 is arranged on the front side of the clothing processing drum assembly. Since the space on the front side of the clothing processing drum assembly is relatively narrow, the arrangement of the refrigerant pipe 5 is limited, and the strength of the fixing parts used to fix the refrigerant pipe, as well as the fixing and protection effects are also limited by the space. The refrigerant pipe 5 cannot be better fixed and protected, and the risk of fixing failure of the refrigerant pipe 5 is relatively high. The refrigerant pipe 5 is easily damaged by external forces.

[0050] To this end, the embodiment of the utility model designs a clothing processing device in which a part of the refrigerant pipe 5 is used to cross the vertically extending pipe section of the clothing processing drum assembly and is installed on the rear wall 11 of the outer shell 1. As a result, more space can be reserved for the installation of the refrigerant pipe 5 while avoiding the clothing processing drum assembly, and thus there is more space for designing the fixing and protection structure of the refrigerant pipe 5, so as to better fix and protect the refrigerant pipe 5, reduce the risk of fixing failure of the refrigerant pipe 5, and make the refrigerant pipe 5 more stably arranged and not easily damaged by external force.

[0051] The refrigerant pipe 5 includes a first pipe section 51, which extends vertically. The first pipe section 51 can cross the clothes treatment tub assembly between the compressor 2 and the condenser 4 and the evaporator 3, so as to realize the refrigerant communication between the compressor 2 and the condenser 4 respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the clothes treatment tub assembly and the refrigerant communication between the compressor 2 and the evaporator 3 respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the clothes treatment tub assembly. The first pipe section 51 is installed on the rear wall 11 of the housing 1 to reserve more space for the installation of the refrigerant pipe 5 while avoiding the clothes treatment tub assembly, so as to have more space to design the fixing and protection structure of the refrigerant pipe 5, so as to better fix and protect the refrigerant pipe 5, reduce the risk of failure of fixing the refrigerant pipe 5, and make the refrigerant pipe 5 more stable and not easy to be damaged by external force.

[0052] According to the clothing processing device of the embodiment of the utility model, the refrigerant pipe 5 of the clothing processing device is more reasonably arranged, the refrigerant pipe 5 can be better protected and fixed, the risk of failure of fixing of the refrigerant pipe 5 is reduced, and the refrigerant pipe 5 is not easily damaged by external force.

[0053] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The shell 1 includes a rear wall 11 and a first side wall 12 and a second side wall 13 which are arranged opposite to each other in the left and right directions, and the rear wall 11 is arranged between the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13. Since the clothing treatment drum assembly is formed as a drum extending axially in the horizontal direction or inclined relative to the horizontal direction, the corners at the junction of the rear wall 11 and the first side wall 12 and the corners at the junction of the rear wall 11 and the second side wall 13 in the accommodating cavity are farther away from the clothing treatment drum assembly, and more space can be used to arrange the refrigerant pipe 5. Therefore, by making the first pipe section 51 close to one of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13, that is, the refrigerant pipe 5 is arranged at the corner at the junction of the rear wall 11 and the first side wall 12 of the shell or at the corner at the junction of the rear wall 11 and the second side wall 13, so that the refrigerant pipe 5 is away from the clothing treatment drum assembly and more space is reserved for the installation of the refrigerant pipe 5.

[0054] Specifically, the first pipe section 51 may be selected to be disposed close to the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13 according to the spatial positions of the compressor 2 , the evaporator 3 , and the condenser 4 in the accommodating chamber.

[0055] For example, when the compressor 2 is disposed near the first side wall 12, the first pipe section 51 is installed on the side of the rear wall 11 of the housing 1 near the first side wall 12 to reduce the distance of the connecting pipe between the compressor 2 and the first pipe section 51. When the compressor 2 is disposed near the second side wall 13, the first pipe section 51 is installed on the side of the rear wall 11 of the housing 1 near the second side wall 13 to reduce the distance of the connecting pipe between the compressor 2 and the first pipe section 51.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first pipe section 51 for connecting the compressor 2 and the condenser 4 and the first pipe section 51 for connecting the compressor 2 and the evaporator 3 can be respectively installed on the rear wall 11 of the outer shell 1. For example, the first pipe section 51 for connecting the compressor 2 and the condenser 4 and the first pipe section 51 for connecting the compressor 2 and the evaporator 3 can be respectively installed on the rear wall 11 of the outer shell 1 and respectively installed on the side of the rear wall 11 of the outer shell 1 close to the first side wall 12 and the side of the rear wall 11 of the outer shell 1 close to the second side wall 13.

[0057] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the refrigerant pipe 5 includes a first pipe section 51 and a second pipe section 52. The first pipe section 51 is arranged near one of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13. The connecting pipeline between the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4 and the first pipe section 51 should avoid the top structure of the accommodating cavity, that is, the structure between the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4 and the rear wall 11, or the structure between the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4 and one of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13. In order to better avoid the top structure, at least a part of the connecting pipeline between the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4 and the first pipe section 51 should also be arranged close to the wall. Optionally, the connecting pipeline between the first pipe section 51 and the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4 can be selected to be arranged near the rear wall 11, or the connecting pipeline between the first pipe section 51 and the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4 can be selected to be arranged near one of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13.

[0058] In some embodiments, the extension direction of the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4 extends in the front-to-back direction. In order to facilitate the setting of the refrigerant pipe 5, the interface between the evaporator 3, the condenser 4 and the refrigerant pipe 5 is set toward the rear, that is, the interface between the evaporator 3, the condenser 4 and the refrigerant pipe 5 is close to the rear wall 11 of the outer shell 1, and the first pipe section 51 is installed on the rear wall 11 of the outer shell 1. Therefore, the connecting pipeline between the first pipe section 51 and the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4 can be selected to be set close to the rear wall 11 to shorten the length of the connecting pipeline and facilitate the mutual avoidance between the pipeline and the surrounding structure.

[0059] Specifically, the refrigerant pipe 5 also includes a second pipe section 52, one end of which is connected to the upper end of the first pipe section 51 and the other end is arranged along the rear wall 11 toward the other of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 to cross and avoid the structure between the first pipe section 51 and the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4, and is connected to the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4.

[0060] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The first pipe section 51 is arranged on the rear wall 11 of the shell and is close to one of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13. The setting position of the first pipe section 51 can be designed according to the setting position of the compressor 2. The compressor 2 is arranged close to one of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 to avoid the clothing processing drum assembly located in the middle. When the compressor 2 is arranged close to the first side wall 12, the first pipe section 51 is arranged on the rear wall 11 of the shell and is close to the first side wall 12. When the compressor 2 is arranged close to the second side wall 13, the first pipe section 51 is arranged on the rear wall 11 of the shell and is close to the second side wall 13.

[0061] The first pipe section 51 is arranged on the rear wall 11 of the shell, and the connecting pipeline between the compressor 2 and the first pipe section 51 should avoid the internal structure of the accommodating cavity, that is, the structure between the compressor 2 and the rear wall 11 of the shell and the structure between the compressor 2 and one of the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13.

[0062] In order to better avoid the internal structure of the accommodating chamber, at least a portion of the connecting pipeline between the compressor 2 and the first pipe section 51 should also be set close to the wall. Optionally, the connecting pipeline between the first pipe section 51 and the compressor 2 can be set close to the rear wall 11, or the connecting pipeline between the compressor 2 and the first pipe section 51 can be set close to one of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13.

[0063] Since the compressor 2 is arranged close to one of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13, the refrigerant pipe 5 does not need to consider avoiding the structure between the compressor 2 and one of the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13, and the compressor 2 is located in the middle of the accommodating cavity in the front-to-back direction. Therefore, the setting of the refrigerant pipe 5 needs to consider avoiding the structure between the compressor 2 and the rear wall 11, and the connecting pipeline between the compressor 2 and the first pipe section 51 can be selected to be set close to one of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13.

[0064] Specifically, the refrigerant pipe 5 also includes a third pipe section 53, one end of which is connected to the lower end of the first pipe section 51, and the other end extends forward along the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13 to cross and avoid the structure between the compressor 2 and the rear wall 11 and connect with the compressor 2.

[0065] Combination Figure 1-Figure 11 In the illustrated embodiment, the clothing processing device further includes a pipe bracket 6, which is disposed on the rear wall 11 of the outer shell 1. The first pipe section 51 cooperates with the pipe bracket 6 to be installed on the rear wall 11 of the outer shell 1 through the pipe bracket 6. On the one hand, the pipe bracket 6 can fix and protect the refrigerant pipe 5 to prevent the refrigerant pipe 5 from contacting with other structures and causing damage and leakage of the pipe, and stably fix the first pipe section 51 in the refrigerant pipe 5 on the rear wall 11. On the other hand, the pipe bracket 6 can limit the pipeline direction of the refrigerant pipe 5 to ensure that the setting of the refrigerant pipe 5 will not affect the normal operation of other structures inside the clothing processing device.

[0066] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The pipe bracket 6 defines a mounting groove 601 extending vertically, and the first pipe section 51 is arranged in the mounting groove 601. The groove walls on both sides of the mounting groove 601 can limit the first pipe section 51 of the refrigerant pipe 5 to limit the vertical extension of the first pipe section 51 and the pipeline direction of the refrigerant pipe 5, so as to ensure that the setting of the refrigerant pipe 5 will not affect the normal operation of other structures inside the clothing processing device. The groove wall of the mounting groove 601 can also protect the refrigerant pipe 5 to prevent the refrigerant pipe 5 from contacting with other structures and causing pipeline damage and leakage. The bottom wall of the mounting groove 601 can be arranged in a close fit with the rear wall 11 of the shell, so that the first pipe section 51 can be arranged close to the rear wall 11 of the shell, so as to better avoid the internal structure of the accommodating cavity.

[0067] In some embodiments, the pipe bracket 6 simultaneously fixes the refrigerant pipe 5 for connecting the condenser 4 and the compressor 2 and the refrigerant pipe 5 connecting the evaporator 3 and the compressor 2. The first pipe sections 51 of multiple refrigerant pipes 5 are simultaneously arranged in the installation groove 601. In order to avoid mutual friction between two adjacent refrigerant pipes 5 and cause damage to the refrigerant pipe 5, a dividing rib 61 is provided in the installation groove 601 to divide the installation groove 601 into multiple installation areas arranged in the direction of the groove width. The multiple installation areas are used to place the first pipe sections 51 of multiple refrigerant pipes 5 respectively to better protect the safety of the setting of the first pipe sections 51 of each refrigerant pipe 5.

[0068] The separation rib 61 may be a continuous vertical rib extending in the vertical direction, or the separation rib 61 may be a plurality of intermittently arranged vertical ribs extending in the vertical direction.

[0069] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the shell 1 includes a rear wall 11 and a first side wall 12 and a second side wall 13 arranged opposite to each other in the left and right directions, and the rear wall 11 is arranged between the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13. Since the clothing processing drum assembly is formed as a drum extending axially in the horizontal direction or inclined relative to the horizontal direction, the corners at the junction of the rear wall 11 and the first side wall 12 and the corners at the junction of the rear wall 11 and the second side wall 13 in the accommodating chamber are farther away from the clothing processing drum assembly, and there is more space available for arranging the refrigerant pipe 5. Therefore, the pipe bracket 6 is arranged close to one of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13, that is, it is arranged at the corner at the junction of the rear wall 11 of the shell and the first side wall 12 or the corner at the junction of the rear wall 11 and the second side wall 13, so as to ensure that the pipe bracket 6 has sufficient installation space and avoid the setting of the pipe bracket 6 affecting the normal arrangement and operation of other structures in the accommodating chamber.

[0070] Among them, since the first pipe sections 51 of multiple refrigerant tubes 5 are simultaneously arranged in the installation groove 601, that is, multiple refrigerant tubes 5 are arranged in parallel in the installation groove 601, only one of the first pipe sections 51 of the refrigerant tubes 5 is arranged close to the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13, and the first pipe sections 51 of the remaining refrigerant tubes 5 are spaced apart from the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13, and the connecting pipeline between the compressor 2 and the lower end of the first pipe section 51 should be arranged close to the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13 to ensure that the pipeline can better avoid the structure between the compressor 2 and the rear wall 11.

[0071] Therefore, the lower portion of the mounting groove 601 narrows from top to bottom toward one of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13, so that the first pipe section 51 is at least partially inclined, so that the lower end of the first pipe section 51 spaced apart from the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13 can extend obliquely toward the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13, be connected to the connecting pipeline arranged near the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13, and fix one end of the connecting pipeline to ensure the stability of the overall setting of the refrigerant pipe 5.

[0072] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the installation groove 601 has a notch, and the first pipe section 51 of the refrigerant pipe 5 can be installed in the installation groove 601 through the notch, that is, the notch is used for installing and removing the first pipe section 51 of the refrigerant pipe 5.

[0073] Combination Figure 7-10 In the illustrated embodiment, the pipe bracket 6 is provided with a limit member, and the limit member is at least partially arranged opposite to the notch of the installation groove 601 to limit the first pipe section 51, so as to stop the refrigerant pipe 5 at the notch after the first pipe section 51 of the refrigerant pipe 5 is installed, so as to prevent the refrigerant pipe 5 from detaching from the installation groove 601 from the notch.

[0074] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the limiting member includes a plurality of baffles 621, which can reduce the slot width without interfering with the normal disassembly and assembly of the refrigerant pipe 5, thereby preventing the refrigerant pipe 5 from being separated from the installation groove 601 from the slot.

[0075] The baffles 621 include multiple ones to limit different positions of the first pipe section 51 of the refrigerant pipe 5 respectively. The multiple baffles 621 are arranged on both sides of the slot of the mounting groove 601 to prevent the refrigerant pipe 5 from detaching from the mounting groove 601 from the gap between the baffles 621 and the slot, ensuring that both sides can be limited by the baffles 621, and the multiple baffles 621 are arranged in the extension direction of the mounting groove 601 so that each position on the first pipe section 51 can be limited in the mounting groove 601, preventing part of the structure of the refrigerant pipe 5 from detaching from the mounting groove 601, and ensuring the stability of the setting of the refrigerant pipe 5.

[0076] In some embodiments, the limit member includes at least one limit buckle 622, one end of the limit buckle 622 is rotatably disposed on one side of the slot of the mounting slot 601, and the other end is detachably connected to the other side of the slot of the mounting slot 601 by being clamped. During the disassembly and assembly process of the refrigerant tube 5, the limit buckle 622 is disconnected from the other side of the slot, and can be rotated along one end to the outside of the slot to open the slot, so that the refrigerant tube 5 can be easily disassembled and assembled. After the refrigerant tube 5 is installed, the limit buckle 622 can be rotated along one end of the limit buckle 622 until the other end of the limit buckle 622 is clamped to the other side of the slot of the mounting slot 601. At this time, the limit buckle 622 can stop the refrigerant tube 5 at the slot to prevent the refrigerant tube 5 from detaching from the slot of the mounting slot 601.

[0077] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9-11 In order to ensure the connection stability between the pipe bracket 6 and the rear wall 11 of the shell 1, the pipe bracket 6 is connected to the rear wall 11 of the shell 1 through a fastener. Specifically, the pipe bracket 6 is provided with a first connection hole, and the rear wall 11 of the shell 1 is provided with a second connection hole 111. The pipe bracket 6 is connected to the shell 1 through a fastener and the fastener is passed through the first connection hole and the second connection hole 111 to achieve a fixed connection between the pipe bracket 6 and the shell 1. In some embodiments, the second connection hole 111 can also be provided on the first side wall 12 or the second side wall 13 of the shell 1.

[0078] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, a first fixing column 64 is integrally formed on the pipe bracket 6 and the first fixing column 64 defines a first connecting hole. The fastener is threadedly engaged with the first connecting hole to provide space for the arrangement of the fastener on the pipe bracket 6, thereby preventing the arrangement of the fastener from affecting the installation of the refrigerant pipe 5 on the pipe bracket 6, and utilizing the first fixing column 64 to improve the strength of the fastener connection to avoid damage to the pipe bracket 6 during the connection process.

[0079] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8-Figure 11 The pipe bracket 6 is made of plastic to reduce its own weight. Since the plastic itself has low strength, it is easy to damage the pipe bracket 6 during the connection process of the fastener. Therefore, the clothing processing device also includes a reinforcement 65. The reinforcement 65 can be made of a metal part with higher strength. The reinforcement 65 is detachably arranged on the pipe bracket 6 to facilitate production and installation. In addition, the reinforcement 65 includes a second fixing column 651, which defines a matching hole 652 that is opposite to and connected to the first connecting hole. The fastener is threadedly matched with the matching hole 652. Therefore, the reinforcement 65 can improve the strength of the connection between the pipe bracket 6 and the fastener to prevent the pipe bracket 6 from being damaged during the connection process.

[0080] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9-11 One of the pipe bracket 6 and the rear wall 11 of the housing 1 is provided with a clamping portion and the other is provided with a clamping hole 112 , and the clamping portion is clamped and matched with the clamping hole 112 to fix the pipe bracket 6 to the housing 1 .

[0081] In some embodiments, the cooperation between the clamping portion and the clamping hole 112 can pre-fix the pipeline support 6 so that the fastener can fix the pipeline support 6 and the housing 1 through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole 111 .

[0082] The clamping portion includes a fixing buckle 661 and / or an elastic clamping tongue 662. In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The clamping part includes a fixed buckle 661 and an elastic clamping tongue 662. The fixed buckle 661 and the elastic clamping tongue 662 cooperate with a clamping hole 112 at the same time, and the fixed buckle 661 cooperates with the lower edge of the clamping hole 112, and the elastic clamping tongue 662 cooperates with the upper edge of the clamping hole 112, so as to use the upper and lower edges of the clamping hole 112 to limit the pipeline support 6 on both the upper and lower sides at the same time, thereby ensuring the stability of the setting of the pipeline support 6.

[0083] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, a buffer pad 67 is provided between the pipe bracket 6 and the rear wall 11 of the housing 1. The provision of the buffer pad 67 can prevent the pipe bracket 6 from vibrating and colliding with the rear wall 11 to generate noise, and can also prevent the pipe bracket 6 from colliding with the rear wall 11 to cause damage to the pipe bracket 6 and affect the installation stability of the refrigerant pipe 5. In some embodiments, the buffer pad 67 can also prevent the heat inside the refrigerant pipe 5 from transferring to the rear wall 11, thereby reducing heat energy loss.

[0084] Specific embodiments of the clothes treating device will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0085] Reference Figure 1-Figure 11 The clothes processing device of the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a shell 1, a clothes processing drum assembly, a refrigerant pipe 5, a pipe bracket 6, a compressor 2, an evaporator 3 and a condenser 4.

[0087] Among them, the compressor 2 can absorb the high-temperature, low-pressure gas refrigerant from the evaporator 3 and compress it into a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid, and transport it to the condenser 4. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the air flow outside the condenser 4 at the condenser 4, and the refrigerant is converted into a low-temperature, high-pressure liquid. The refrigerant then enters the evaporator 3, absorbs external heat at the evaporator 3, and is converted into a high-temperature, low-pressure gas, and then returns to the compressor 2. Refrigerant pipes 5 need to be respectively arranged between the compressor 2, the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4 for connecting and transferring the refrigerant.

[0088] The refrigerant pipe 5 includes a first pipe section 51, a second pipe section 52 and a third pipe section 53. The first pipe section 51 extends vertically and cooperates with the pipe bracket 6 to be installed on the rear wall 11 of the outer shell 1 through the pipe bracket 6 and is arranged close to the second side wall 13. The first pipe section 51 can cross and avoid the structure between the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4 and the compressor 2, such as the clothing processing drum assembly, and the upper end is connected to the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4, and the lower end is connected to the inlet or outlet of the compressor 2.

[0089] The extension direction of the evaporator 3 and the condenser 4 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the interface between the evaporator 3, the condenser 4 and the refrigerant pipe 5 is set toward the rear. One end of the second pipe section 52 is connected to the upper end of the first pipe section 51 and the other end is set along the rear wall 11 towards the direction close to the first side wall 12 to cross and avoid the structure between the first pipe section 51 and the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4, and be connected to the evaporator 3 or the condenser 4.

[0090] The compressor 2 is located in the middle of the accommodating cavity in the front-to-back direction and is arranged close to the second side wall 13. One end of the third pipe section 53 is connected to the lower end of the first pipe section 51, and the other end extends forward along the second side wall 13 to cross and avoid the structure between the compressor 2 and the rear wall 11 and connect with the compressor 2.

[0091] The pipe bracket 6 defines an installation groove 601 extending vertically, and a dividing rib 61 is provided in the installation groove 601 to divide the installation groove 601 into two installation areas arranged in the groove width direction. The first pipe section 51 of the refrigerant pipe 5 connecting the condenser 4 and the compressor 2 and the first pipe section 51 of the refrigerant pipe 5 connecting the evaporator 3 and the compressor 2 are respectively arranged in the two installation areas.

The first pipe section 51 installed in the mounting area on the side away from the second side wall 13 extends obliquely toward the direction close to the second side wall 13 through the narrowing area to be connected with the corresponding third pipe section 53 arranged near the second side wall 13.

[0093] The installation groove 601 has a notch, and the first pipe section 51 of the refrigerant pipe 5 can be installed in the installation groove 601 through the notch. That is, the notch is used for installing and removing the first pipe section 51 of the refrigerant pipe 5.

[0094] The pipe support 6 is provided with a plurality of baffles 621, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the slot, and the baffles 621 on both sides are arranged in a staggered manner. The baffles 621 can reduce the slot width without interfering with the normal disassembly and assembly of the refrigerant pipe 5, thereby preventing the refrigerant pipe 5 from being separated from the mounting slot 601 at the slot. The plurality of baffles 621 are arranged in the extending direction of the mounting slot 601, so that each position on the first pipe section 51 can be limited in the mounting slot 601, thereby preventing the partial structure of the refrigerant pipe 5 from being separated from the mounting slot 601, and ensuring the stability of the setting of the refrigerant pipe 5.

[0095] The pipeline bracket 6 is provided with a limit buckle 622, one end of the limit buckle 622 is rotatably arranged on one side of the slot of the mounting groove 601, and the other end is detachably connected to the other side of the slot of the mounting groove 601. During the disassembly and assembly of the refrigerant pipe 5, the limit buckle 622 is disconnected from the other side of the slot, and can be rotated along one end to the outside of the slot to open the slot, so that the refrigerant pipe 5 can be easily disassembled and assembled. After the refrigerant pipe 5 is installed, the limit buckle 622 can be rotated along one end of the limit buckle 622 until the other end of the limit buckle 622 is connected to the other side of the slot of the mounting groove 601. At this time, the limit buckle 622 can stop the refrigerant pipe 5 at the slot to prevent the refrigerant pipe 5 from detaching from the slot of the mounting groove 601.

[0096] In which, at least one limiting buckle 622 is provided at the narrowed portion to limit the first pipe section 51 provided at the narrowed portion.

[0097] A buffer pad 67 is provided between the pipe bracket 6 and the rear wall 11 of the housing 1. The buffer pad 67 can prevent the pipe bracket 6 from vibrating and colliding with the rear wall 11 to generate noise, and can also prevent the pipe bracket 6 from colliding with the rear wall 11 to cause damage to the pipe bracket 6 and affect the installation stability of the refrigerant pipe 5. In some embodiments, the buffer pad 67 can also prevent the heat inside the refrigerant pipe 5 from transferring to the rear wall 11, reducing heat energy loss.

[0098] A clamping portion is provided on the pipeline bracket 6, which includes a fixed buckle 661 and an elastic tongue 662. The fixed buckle 661 and the elastic tongue 662 cooperate with a clamping hole 112 at the same time, and the fixed buckle 661 cooperates with the lower edge of the clamping hole 112, and the elastic tongue 662 cooperates with the upper edge of the clamping hole 112, so as to use the upper and lower edges of the clamping hole 112 to limit the pipeline bracket 6 on both the upper and lower sides at the same time, thereby ensuring the stability of the setting of the pipeline bracket 6.

[0099] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8-Figure 11The pipe bracket 6 is made of plastic to reduce its own weight. Since the plastic itself has low strength, it is easy to damage the pipe bracket 6 during the connection process of the fastener. Therefore, the clothing processing device also includes a reinforcement 65. The reinforcement 65 can be made of a metal part with higher strength.

In addition, the reinforcement 65 includes a second fixing column 651, which defines a matching hole 652 that is opposite to and connected to the first connecting hole. The fastener is threadedly matched with the matching hole 652. Therefore, the reinforcement 65 can improve the strength of the connection between the pipe bracket 6 and the fastener to prevent the pipe bracket 6 from being damaged during the connection process.
