[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, clothing processing devices are no longer limited to automatic washing machines such as drum washing machines, pulsator washing machines and agitator washing machines. Clothes processing devices can have a drying function to heat dry air and blow it to wet clothes, so that the moisture in the wet clothes can be vaporized, and the wet clothes can be directly dried without drying. In the related art, the base of the clothing processing device has a water collecting member for temporarily storing condensed water generated by the evaporator, and a water pump is used to pump the condensed water in the water collecting member into a water box for storage.

[0003] However, if the water box is arranged inside the whole machine, the design volume of the water box is limited based on the diameter of the processing chamber of the clothes processing device, and the frequency of pouring water during the drying process is high, which affects the user's use. If the water box is arranged outside the clothes processing device, the water box directly connected to the water inlet pipe and the overflow pipe is not convenient to take out and pour water, so a drainage structure needs to be arranged inside the water box to guide the overflow water to be discharged without affecting the water inlet and the laying of the water pipe, and the water box structure is relatively complicated. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a clothes processing device to solve the technical problem of how to increase the design volume of the water box and simplify the water box structure at the same time.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The present invention provides a clothes processing device, which includes a box 101, and a processing chamber 10 (refer to Figure 4 ), wherein, in the schematic diagram illustrated in the embodiment of the present utility model, the box body 101 only retains the front sealing door 30, and the structure of other parts except the front sealing door 30 is omitted.

[0035] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of clothing processing device. The clothing processing device may be a device that performs one or more operations of soaking, washing, rinsing, dehydrating, drying, and disinfecting clothing, but at least the clothing processing device is a device that can dry clothing. For example, the clothing processing device may be an automatic clothes dryer with only a drying function, or may be a washer-dryer with both a drying function and a washing function. It is understandable that the application scenario type of the embodiments of the present utility model does not limit the structure of the clothing processing device.

[0036] For ease of understanding, the working principle of a clothes processing device using heat pump drying technology is briefly described below:

[0037] Reference Figure 4 The clothing treatment device includes a housing 101, a door 1, a water box 2 and a water guide 3, wherein the housing 101 includes a treatment chamber 10 for treating clothing and an air circulation duct 20 connected to the treatment chamber 10, and both opposite ends of the air circulation duct 20 along the air flow direction are connected to the treatment chamber 10; the air circulates in the air circulation duct 20 and the treatment chamber 10, wherein, Figure 4The direction of the dotted arrow in the schematic diagram indicates the direction of the airflow, and the airflow channels between the components together constitute the airflow circulation duct 20. The evaporator 201 and the condenser 202 are arranged in the airflow circulation duct 20, and the condenser 202 is located downstream of the evaporator 201 along the airflow direction. In other words, the airflow flowing out of the processing chamber 10 enters the airflow circulation duct 20, and the airflow in the airflow circulation duct 20 first flows through the evaporator 201 and then flows through the condenser 202. The evaporator 201 is used to cool and dehumidify the airflow, and the condenser 202 is used to heat the airflow after cooling and dehumidification. The working process of the clothing processing device of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the dry hot air flow in the air circulation duct 20 enters the processing chamber 10 from the downstream of the air circulation duct along the air flow direction. In the processing chamber 10, the dry hot air flow flows through the surface of the wet clothes, exchanges heat and moisture with the wet clothes, absorbs moisture in the clothes, and becomes a humid hot air flow. The humid hot air flow enters the upstream of the air circulation duct 20, and flows through the evaporator 201 and the condenser 202 in sequence. In the process of flowing through the evaporator 201, the water vapor in the humid hot air flow is separated from the air flow due to the temperature drop and condenses into water droplets, that is, condensed water. The humid hot air flow is condensed and dehumidified by the evaporator 201 to form a low-temperature dry air flow. The low-temperature dry air flow is heated to a dry hot air flow when passing through the condenser 202. The dry hot air flow enters the processing chamber 10 again from the downstream of the air circulation duct 20, and the cycle is run in this way to achieve continuous and efficient drying of clothes.

[0038] A water collecting member 203 is provided below the evaporator 201 to temporarily store condensed water generated by airflow passing through the evaporator 201. The water collecting member 203 may be the base portion of the housing 101. A driving member such as a water pump 204 may also be provided in the housing 101 to transport the water flow in the water collecting member 203 to the water box 2 for storage. When the water in the water box 2 is full, the user may take it out and pour it out. Figure 4 The solid arrow in the middle indicates the direction of the water flow. It should be noted that a timing device can be used to control the water pump 204 to pump condensed water into the water box 2; a water level sensor can also be used to sense the water level of the condensed water in the water collecting member 203. After the condensed water in the water collecting member 203 reaches the water level line, the water pump 204 pumps condensed water into the water box 2. However, no matter what control method the water pump 204 is controlled by, the water pipe connected to the water outlet of the water pump 204 is connected to the water guide 3, and the water pump 204 guides the condensed water into the water box 2 through the water guide 3.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 The door body 1 is movably connected to the box body 101, and the water box 2 is detachably connected to the door body 1 (such as Figure 3 The door 1 opens or closes the treatment chamber 10 of the box. A water storage chamber 211 is formed inside the water box 2 (as shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown), the water box 2 is provided with a water inlet connected to the water storage chamber 211. The water storage chamber 211 is used to collect condensed water in the clothing treatment device. When the condensed water in the water storage chamber 211 accumulates to a preset water level, the user can take out the water box 2 to pour out the water. Compared with the embodiment in which the water box 2 is arranged adjacent to the control panel and arranged inside the clothing treatment device, the water box 2 is arranged on the door body 1 in the present application, so that the user can intuitively see the water level of the condensed water, and the design volume of the water box 2 is not limited by the width of the control panel and the size of the treatment chamber 10, which is conducive to increasing the design volume of the water box 2 according to user needs. The water guide 3 is arranged on the box body 101 or the door body 1 (as shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the water guide 3 is at least used to transport condensed water, that is, the water guide 3 is a component or assembly with a water guide function, and may include a water pipe connected to the water outlet of the water pump 204. The water guide 3 may be fixed on the housing 101, or may be fixed on the door body 1 and move with the door body 1 so as to be able to partially extend out of the treatment chamber 10, as long as the water guide 3 can guide the condensed water in the water collecting member 203 into the water storage chamber 211 of the water box 2 when the door body 1 is closed. In the embodiment in which the water guide 3 is installed on the housing 101, the water box 2 and the water guide 3 can be freely separated by opening the door body 1, so that the user can take out the water box 2 and pour water without interference from accessories such as water pipes and / or valve bodies.

[0040] Specifically, when the door body 1 is closed and the door body 1 is installed with the water box 2, the water guide 3 is connected to the water box 2, the water guide 3 communicates with the water storage chamber 211 and the water collecting member 203, and the water guide 3 guides the condensed water in the water collecting member 203 into the water storage chamber 211 of the water box 2 (such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown), that is, as long as the door body 1 is closed and the water box 2 is not taken out, the water flow channel in the water box 2 and the water flow channel in the water guide 3 are both in a connected state, and the condensed water in the water collecting member 203 is pumped into the water guide 3 through the water pump 204, and then pumped into the water storage cavity 211 of the water box 2 through the water guide 3 for storage. The water flow introduction of the water box 2 is realized through the water guide 3, so the water pipe connected to the water outlet of the water pump 204 and the valve body and other accessories are also connected to the water guide 3 accordingly, and there is no need to reserve the installation position of the water pipe or valve body on the water box 2, and there is no need to set the drainage structure inside the water box 2, so that the water box 2 has a relatively simple structure, which is convenient for users to take out the water box 2 and reduces the design difficulty of the water box 2.

[0041] It should be noted that the above does not limit the manner in which the door body 1 and the housing 101 are movably connected. For example, the door body 1 can be translated and / or rotated relative to the housing 101. Regardless of the manner of movable connection, as long as the door body 1 can be moved relative to the housing 101 to open and close the treatment chamber 10, it will be sufficient. Then, when putting wet clothes into the treatment chamber 10 or taking out dried clothes from the treatment chamber 10, it can be achieved by opening the door body 1. Only after the water level in the water box 2 rises to the preset water level line, the user needs to take out the water box 2 to pour water. The water box 2 is connected to the door body 1, so it can be understood that no matter whether the water guide 3 is connected to the housing 101 or the door body 1, when the user does not take out the water box 2, closing the door body 1 can connect the water box 2 with the water guide 3.

[0042] It is understandable that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the manner in which the water box 2 is detachably connected to the door body 1. For example, the water box 2 can be snap-fitted and / or threadedly connected to the door body 1. Regardless of the detachable connection method, as long as the user can detach the water box 2 from the door body 1 to pour water, and the water box 2 is connected to the door body 1 and connected to the water guide 3 when the door body 1 is closed. In some embodiments shown in the schematic diagram of the present application, refer to Figure 5 The door body 1 includes a door ring 11 and a door glass 12, which are connected to form a component (i.e., the door body 1) by bolts and threads, and the door body 1 is movably connected to the box body 101. The door ring 11 is generally annular and has a through opening to accommodate the door glass 12, and an installation cavity is formed inside the door glass 12 to install the water box 2. Figure 5 As shown, a snap-fitting protrusion 24 is provided at the bottom of the water box 2, and a snap-fitting groove 111 capable of accommodating and snap-fitting the snap-fitting protrusion 24 is provided at the door ring 11, and the door glass 12 has a through hole 121 connected to the snap-fitting groove 111, and the snap-fitting protrusion 24 of the water box 2 extends into the snap-fitting groove 111 via the through hole 121, so that the water box 2 and the door body 1 can be detachably connected.

[0043] The present application provides a clothes processing device, which includes a housing 101, a door 1, a water box 2 and a water guide 3. The housing 101 has a processing chamber 10 for processing clothes and an air circulation duct 20 connected to the processing chamber 10. The air circulation duct 20 is provided with an evaporator 201 and a water collecting member 203 arranged below the evaporator 201. The door 1 is movably connected to the housing 101, and the water box 2 is detachably connected to the door 1. The door 1 opens or closes the processing chamber 10 of the housing 101. A water storage chamber 211 is formed inside the water box 2, and the water box 2 is provided with a water inlet connected to the water storage chamber 211. When the door 1 is closed and the water box 2 is installed on the door 1, the water guide 3 connects the water storage chamber 211 and the water collecting member 203 to guide the condensed water in the water collecting member 203 into the water storage chamber 211. The water box 2 is arranged on the door body 1, and the design volume of the water box 2 will not be limited by the width of the control panel and / or the volume of the processing chamber 10, so that the design volume of the water box 2 can be increased according to the needs of the user, so as to reduce the frequency of the user taking out the water box 2 to pour water during the drying process. When the door body 1 is closed and the water box 2 is not removed, the water guide 3 is located at the water inlet and connected to the water box 2, and the water flow channel in the water guide 3 is connected to the water flow channel in the water box 2. The water pipe connected to the water outlet of the water pump 204 is connected to the water guide 3, and the condensed water in the water collecting part 203 is pumped into the water guide 3 through the water pump 204, and enters the water box 2 through the water guide 3. The water flow introduction of the water box 2 is realized by the water guide 3, and the water pipe connected to the water pump 204 is connected to the water guide 3 and accessories such as the valve body. There is no need to reserve the installation position of the water pipe or the valve body on the water box 2, so that the user can take out the water box 2 to pour water without interference from the accessories. There is no need to reserve a drainage structure inside the water box 2, and the water box structure is relatively simple. This arrangement not only increases the design volume of the water box 2, but also simplifies the structure of the water box 2, making it more convenient for users to use.

[0044] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 3 The housing 101 includes a front sealing door 30. The door body 1 and the front sealing door 30 are movably connected. The treatment chamber 10 can be opened or closed by opening or closing the door body 1. The water box 2 is installed on the door body 1. Therefore, when the door body 1 is closed, the water box 2 moves to a set position with the door body 1 to achieve the connection between the water box 2 and the water guide 3. The water box 2 is arranged on the side of the front sealing door 30 away from the treatment chamber 10, that is, the water box 2 is arranged outside the clothing treatment device. Then, the user can take out the water box 2 to pour water without opening the door body 1, which is convenient for the user to take and put the water box 2. It should be noted that, referring to Figure 3 , the opening of the front sealing door 30 on the side (left side) facing the processing chamber 10 is larger, while the opening of the front sealing door 30 on the side (right side) away from the processing chamber 10 is smaller, so Figure 2 In the embodiment, the front sealing door 30 includes, in addition to the square frame portion, an annular frame portion (such as Figure 3 shown).

[0045] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 The water guide member 3 includes a main body 31 and a first connecting pipe 32. The main body 31 is connected to the box body 101, and the first connecting pipe 32 is arranged on the main body 31. That is to say, the water guide member 3 is installed on the box body 101, and the water pipe connected to the water outlet end of the water pump 204 is connected to the first connecting pipe 32. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The front sealing door 30 and the door body 1 are omitted. Figure 8 for Figure 7 Cross-sectional view in the BB direction, refer to Figure 8 A first water inlet channel 321 is formed inside the first connecting pipe 32. The first connecting pipe 32 guides the condensed water in the water collecting member 203 into the water storage chamber 211 through the first water inlet channel 321. The condensed water flows along the first water inlet channel 321. Figure 8 The solid arrows shown flow from the water collecting part 203 into the water storage chamber 211, where condensed water accumulates and the water level of the condensed water gradually rises. When the condensed water reaches the preset water level line in the water storage chamber 211, the water box 2 can be taken out and poured out.

[0046] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 The water guide 3 also includes a second connecting pipe 33, which is arranged on the body 31 and is spaced apart from the first connecting pipe 32. A first overflow channel 331 is formed inside the second connecting pipe 33, and the second connecting pipe 33 is connected to the water collecting member 203 through a water pipe. The first connecting pipe 32 is spaced apart from the second connecting pipe 33, so that the first water inlet channel 321 is spaced apart from the first overflow channel 331. The second connecting pipe 33 guides the condensed water overflowing from the water storage chamber 211 to the water collecting member 203 through the first overflow channel 331 under set conditions. The second connecting pipe 33 is below the first connecting pipe 32, and the condensed water flows along the first water inlet channel 321. Figure 8 After the solid arrow shown in the figure flows from the water collecting member 203 into the water storage chamber 211, the condensed water is stored in the water storage chamber 211, and the water level of the condensed water gradually rises. After the condensed water overflows from the water storage chamber 211, the overflowed condensed water can flow along the first overflow channel 331. Figure 8 The dotted arrows shown flow out to the water collecting part 203 for circulation. When the user fails to take out the water box 2 in time to pour out the water, the condensed water in the water box 2 will not overflow to the outside of the clothes processing device, and / or overflow to the inside of the clothes processing device to cause a short circuit, the clothes processing device is safer, and the overflowed condensed water re-enters the water collecting part 203 for circulation, so that water resources can be fully utilized.

[0047] In some embodiments, reference Fig. 9 The main body 31 forms a docking cavity 311. When the door 1 is closed, part of the water box 2 is located in the docking cavity 311 (such as Figure 8As shown), that is, the first connecting pipe 32 and / or the second connecting pipe 33 are connected to the water storage chamber 211 of the water box 2 in the docking chamber 311, that is, the position where the water box 2 is connected to the water guide 3 is at least partially in the docking chamber 311, so that the water box 2 and the water guide 3 are "docked", and there is no contact between the water box 2 and the water guide 3. When the user opens or closes the door body 1, the water box 2 smoothly connects to or disconnects from the water guide 3 along with the door body 1, and the relative position change between the water box 2 and the water guide 3 will not affect the opening and closing of the door body 1. In addition, the setting of the docking chamber 311 provides another anti-overflow space. When condensed water overflows at the position where the water box 2 and the water guide 3 are connected, the condensed water overflows into the docking chamber 311 instead of overflowing into the inside and outside of the clothing treatment device, so that the overflow water guide process of the water guide 3 will not affect the clothing drying process, and it is also convenient for the storage space of the clothing treatment device and the outside of the clothing treatment device to remain dry, and the clothing treatment device and the storage space for storing the clothing treatment device are not easily affected by moisture.

[0048] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 and Figure 8 The water box 2 includes a box body 21, a third connecting pipe 22 and a fourth connecting pipe 23, and a water storage chamber 211 (such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the third connecting pipe 22 and the fourth connecting pipe 23 are both arranged on the box body 21, and the fourth connecting pipe 23 is spaced apart from the third connecting pipe 22 and is located below the third connecting pipe 22. A second water inlet channel 221 is formed inside the third connecting pipe 22 to connect the water storage chamber 211 and the first water inlet channel 321, and the opening of the second water inlet channel 221 is the aforementioned "water inlet formed by the water box 2 and connected to the water storage chamber 211"; a second overflow channel 231 is formed inside the fourth connecting pipe 23 to connect the water storage chamber 211 and the first overflow channel 331. It can be understood that the second overflow channel 231 is below the second water inlet channel 221, and the setting condition at least includes that the water level of the condensed water in the water storage chamber 211 rises to the height where the second overflow channel 231 is located. The condensed water introduced into the first water inlet channel 321 enters the water storage chamber 211 through the second water inlet channel 221, and the condensed water gradually accumulates in the water storage chamber 211 until the water level of the condensed water in the water storage chamber 211 rises to the height of the second overflow channel 231, and the overflowed condensed water enters the first overflow channel 331 through the second overflow channel 231.

[0049] Specifically, the third connecting pipe 22 and / or the fourth connecting pipe 23 extend into the docking cavity 311, and can be Figure 8As shown, only the fourth connecting pipe 23 extends into the docking cavity 311; of course, only the third connecting pipe 22 may extend into the docking cavity 311, or the third connecting pipe 22 and the fourth connecting pipe 23 may extend into the docking cavity 311 together. The water box 2 is "docked" with the docking cavity 311 through the third connecting pipe 22 and / or the fourth connecting pipe 23, so that the user can smoothly open and close the door body 1.

[0050] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 The docking cavity 311 may have an opening to avoid the third connecting pipe 22 and / or the fourth connecting pipe 23; the docking cavity 311 may also be provided with no opening so that the water guide 3 is hollow, so that the docking cavity 311 can fully cover the third connecting pipe 22 and / or the fourth connecting pipe 23. In some embodiments shown in the schematic diagram of the present application, referring to Fig. 9 The docking cavity 311 has an opening, which avoids the third connecting pipe 22 and / or the fourth connecting pipe 23, so that the water box 2 can be smoothly connected to or separated from the water guide member 3. In addition, the setting of the opening provides a larger operating space, which is convenient for the processing and molding of the water guide member 3.

[0051] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 One end of the first connecting pipe 32 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 204 through a water pipe, so that the water guide 3 is connected to the water collecting member 203; the other end of the first connecting pipe 32 extends into the second water inlet channel 221 or extends into the water storage chamber 211 through the second water inlet channel 221. It can be understood that the outer diameter of the first connecting pipe 32 is smaller than the inner diameter of the third connecting pipe 22. The first connecting pipe 32 can be as follows Figure 8 As shown, the first connecting pipe 32 extends into the second water inlet channel 221, or it can extend into the water storage chamber 211 through the second water inlet channel 221. However, no matter which of the above-mentioned embodiments the first connecting pipe 32 is arranged in, the water outlet position of the first connecting pipe 32 is inside the water box 2. Even if water flows out from the water outlet position of the first connecting pipe 32, the overflowing water flows inside the water box 2 and directly enters the water storage chamber 211 or enters the water storage chamber 211 through the second water inlet channel 221. The water guide 3 will not pour the condensed water into the inside or outside of the clothes processing device during the process of guiding the condensed water into the water box 2, and will not affect the drying process of the wet clothes, and it is not easy to make the clothes processing device or the space for storing the clothes processing device damp.

[0052] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 One end of the fourth connecting pipe 23 is connected to the water storage chamber 211, and the other end of the fourth connecting pipe 23 extends into the docking chamber 311 or extends into the first overflow channel 331 via the docking chamber 311. It can be understood that the outer diameter of the fourth connecting pipe 23 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second connecting pipe 33. Figure 8As shown, the fourth connecting pipe 23 extends into the water storage chamber 211, and can also extend into the first overflow channel 331 through the water storage chamber 211. However, no matter which of the above-mentioned embodiments the fourth connecting pipe 23 is arranged in, the water outlet position of the fourth connecting pipe 23 is in the water guide member 3, so even if water flows out of the water outlet position of the fourth connecting pipe 23, the overflowing water flows still in the water guide member 3 and directly enters the first overflow channel 331 or enters the first overflow channel 331 through the water storage chamber 211, that is, the water guide member 3 will not pour the condensed water into the inside or outside of the clothes processing device in the process of re-introducing the condensed water overflowing the outside of the water box 2 into the water collecting member 203.

[0053] Reference Figure 8 Although there is no contact between the water box 2 and the water guide member 3, the diameters and lengths of the first connecting pipe 32 and the fourth connecting pipe 23 are specifically designed so that the first connecting pipe 32 discharges water inside the water box 2, and the fourth connecting pipe 23 discharges water inside the water guide member 3. When the water guide member 3 guides condensed water into the water box 2 or guides condensed water overflowing from the water box 2, the condensed water will not be spilled to the inside or outside of the clothing treatment device. Without affecting the normal use of the clothing treatment device, the water box 2 can be smoothly connected to or separated from the water guide member 3 with the movement of the door body 1, so that the user can smoothly open and close the door body 1.

[0054] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 , the first overflow channel 331 is connected to the docking chamber 311. When the door body 1 is closed, the second connecting pipe 33 is located below the fourth connecting pipe 23, that is, the second connecting pipe 33 is not docked with the fourth connecting pipe 23, and the condensed water flowing out of the second connecting pipe 33 flows into the fourth connecting pipe 23 through the docking chamber 311. The height of the fourth connecting pipe 23 is less than that of the second connecting pipe 33, and there is a height difference between the second connecting pipe 33 and the fourth connecting pipe 23. The condensed water discharged from the fourth connecting pipe 23 falls under the action of gravitational potential energy and automatically flows to the second connecting pipe 33. The potential energy between the second connecting pipe 33 and the fourth connecting pipe 23 is converted into the kinetic energy of the condensed water. The condensed water is accelerated to enter the second connecting pipe 33 through the docking chamber 311, and is discharged to the water collecting member 203 through the first overflow channel 331. The condensed water from the fourth connecting pipe 23 to the second connecting pipe 33 will not be accumulated in the docking chamber 311 due to the acceleration, so the water flow in the docking chamber 311 will not be poured out of the water guide 3.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 6As shown, when the door body 1 closes the treatment chamber 10, the water guide 3 and the water box 2 are plugged in the horizontal direction. The horizontal direction represents the direction of the clothing treatment device in the normal use state and located in the three-dimensional absolute coordinate system. It can be understood that in the normal use state, the door body 1 is located at the front end of the box body, and the water guide 3 and the water box 2 are plugged in the front-to-back direction. For example, the water inlet connected to the water storage chamber 211 in the water box 2 extends in the horizontal direction, and the component (first connecting pipe 32) in the water guide 3 that guides the condensed water to the water storage chamber 211 also extends in the horizontal direction, so that the water guide 3 guides the condensed water in the horizontal direction, and the water box 2 introduces the condensed water in the horizontal direction through the water inlet. That is to say, when the door body 1 opens or closes the treatment chamber 10, the water box 2 is connected to or disconnected from the water guide member 3 in the horizontal direction, and the connection direction between the water guide member 3 and the water box 2 is not in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the water guide member 3 guides the condensed water into the water box 2, the condensed water is not affected by the gravitational potential difference and there is no gravitational acceleration, which reduces the possibility of condensed water splashing in the process of being introduced into the water box 2. At the same time, the water box 2 is disconnected from or connected to the door body in the horizontal direction, which is consistent with the plug-in direction of the water box 2 and the water guide member 3. Therefore, in the process of installing the water box 2, the water box 2 and the water guide member 3 can be docked synchronously, and the structure is simple and easy to implement. In addition, the water box 2 and the water guide member 3 are coaxially sleeved and serve as a reference to each other, which facilitates the accurate and smooth docking of the water box 2 and the water guide member 3.

[0056] It should be noted that the ground used to place the clothing processing device is generally a horizontal plane, so the horizontal direction is the direction parallel to the horizontal plane, and the vertical direction is the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane; of course, the ground may have bumps or slopes in some areas, that is, the horizontal plane is not required to be absolutely horizontal, so the corresponding horizontal direction is not required to be absolutely horizontal, and the vertical direction is not required to be absolutely vertical. It is allowed to have ground levelness errors, ground bumps and ground slopes, as long as it is roughly horizontal and vertical under normal use.

[0057] It can be understood that the first connecting tube 32 extends in the horizontal direction, that is, the maximum dimension direction of the first connecting tube 32 is in the horizontal direction. Therefore, even if the water box 2 is slightly misaligned in the horizontal direction, the longer first connecting tube 32 can be used to connect with the water box 2 without affecting the connection between the water box 2 and the water guide 3, so that the water flow channel in the water box 2 and the water flow channel in the water guide 3 can be smoothly and accurately connected, reducing the risk of condensed water spilling during the process of being introduced into the water storage chamber 211.

[0058] In some embodiments, reference Fig.10 The clothing treatment device further includes a micro switch 4, which is disposed on the door body 1 and the front sealing door 30 of the box body 101 (eg Figure 2As shown in the figure, the micro switch 4 is used to sense the installation state of the water box 2 on the door body 1, that is, the micro switch 4 is used to sense whether the water box 2 is installed in place on the door body 1. Specifically, when the water box 2 is separated from the door body 1 (for example, the user takes out the water box 2) or the water box 2 is loose on the door body 1, the micro switch 4 is used to send a stop signal to the water pump 204 connected to the water collecting member 203, that is, when the user takes out the water box 2 to pour water or the water box 2 is loose, the water pump 204 connected to the water collecting member 203 will not work and will not continue to pump condensed water into the water guide member 3, so that no condensed water will be poured from the water guide member 3 to the inside or outside of the clothing treatment device.

[0059] It is explained that the micro switch 4 is a common electrical switch device, also known as a limit switch or contact switch. It is usually composed of a movable arm and a fixed contact. When the movable arm is subjected to an external force, it triggers the switch action, thereby changing the state of the circuit. In some possible embodiments, an induction switch can also be used to sense the position of the water box 2, but the induction switch cannot accurately sense whether the water box 2 is installed in place without being loose, and there is a risk of water spilling. The micro switch 4 has a higher reliability. When the door body 1 is closed, it can determine whether the water box 2 is installed in place according to the signal of the micro switch 4, so that the user can reliably use the water box 2 to store condensed water.

[0060] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig.11 , the front sealing door 30 has a first connection structure 301, and the water guide member 3 has a second connection structure 34. The first connection structure 301 and the second connection structure 34 are detachably connected. The first connection structure 301 can be a threaded connection structure and / or a clamping structure. The second connection structure 34 cooperates with the first connection structure 301. The water guide member 3 is detachably connected to the front sealing door 30, which is convenient for assembly and subsequent maintenance of the water guide member 3. Specifically, the first connection structure 301 can be a threaded connection structure such as a bolt or a screw that is sleeved on the front sealing door 30, and the second connection structure 34 is adaptively configured to be a threaded hole opened on the water guide member 3. The first connection structure 301 can also be a special-shaped groove as shown in the schematic diagram of the present application (such as Figure 2 ) structure, the water guide 3 has a small diameter portion 341 and a large diameter portion 342 with different diameters, and the circumferential surface of the small diameter portion 341 and the end surface of the large diameter portion 342 together constitute a second connecting structure 34 (such as Figure 8 ). Among them, reference Fig.11 The peripheral surface of the small diameter portion 341 is clamped in the special-shaped groove (first connection structure 301), and the end surface of the large diameter portion 342 is abutted against the inner side of the end wall forming the special-shaped groove (first connection structure 301), so that the water guide 3 is clamped on the front sealing door 30. It can be understood that the aforementioned "special-shaped groove is special-shaped" means that the special-shaped groove is a U-shaped groove with different diameters (refer to Figure 2 ), the diameters of the two sides of the special-shaped groove are different, which is convenient for axial positioning of the water guide 3. Of course, the special-shaped groove can also be other special-shaped structures, such as triangle, diamond or irregular lace.
