[0002] With the improvement of living standards, many household appliances with drying functions have emerged to dry objects, providing great convenience for people's lives. In household appliances that use dehumidifiers with heating and desorption properties such as molecular sieves as dehumidification modules, dry air passes through the object to be dried, takes away the moisture in the object to be dried, and becomes high-humidity air; the high-humidity air passes through the dehumidification module, absorbs moisture, becomes dry air again, and is then transported back to the object to be dried for dehumidification; the heating module precipitates moisture in the dehumidification module through high-temperature gas, thus forming a drying cycle.

[0048] 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.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the drying module 10 includes a heating module 100, a dehumidification module 200 and a regeneration module 300. The air outlet of the dehumidification module 200 is connected to the air inlet of the clothing treatment drum 20, and the air inlet 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 provided by the regeneration module 300, and the heated airflow passes through the moisture absorption and dehumidification component in the dehumidification module 200 to dehumidify and dehydrate the moisture absorption and dehumidification component, so that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component has the ability to absorb moisture again; during the rotation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component, 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. The moisture absorption and dehumidification component may be a turntable, which is convenient for passing through the dehumidification area of ​​the dehumidification module 200 and the dehydration area of ​​the heating module 100 through rotation.

[0050] In one embodiment, Figure 3 to Figure 5As shown, the regeneration module 300 includes: a regeneration shell 310, a regeneration fan 320 and a guide member 330. The regeneration shell 310 forms an air duct with an air duct inlet 311 and an air duct outlet 312. The regeneration fan 320 is arranged at the air duct inlet 311; the guide member 330 is arranged in the air duct, and the guide member 330 is configured to guide the airflow in the air duct so that the air outlet 312 has uniform air flow.

[0051] In the regeneration module 300 provided in the present disclosure, the gas provided by the regeneration fan 320 is transported through the regeneration shell 310. When being transported through the regeneration shell 310, the air volume at each position of the air duct outlet 312 is different; by arranging a guide member 330 in the air duct, the gas in the air duct can be guided so that the air outlet of the air duct outlet 312 is relatively uniform, thereby improving the uniformity of the air outlet of the air duct outlet 312 and enhancing the air outlet effect.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, the guide member 330 extends from the duct inlet 311 toward the duct outlet 312. By extending the guide member 330 from the duct inlet 311 toward the duct outlet 312, the duct can be divided into a plurality of sub-ducts in the width direction to achieve the distribution of the air volume in the duct. For example, in the width direction, if the air volume on one side is greater than the air volume on the other side, the inlet area on the side with a larger air volume can be relatively reduced, and the inlet area on the side with a smaller air volume can be relatively increased; the outlet areas of the plurality of sub-ducts can be the same, so that the air volume in the duct can be adjusted by the wind uniformizer, so that the air volume at the duct outlet 312 tends to be uniform.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the regeneration fan 320 can be a centrifugal fan, and the rotating shaft of the centrifugal fan is arranged along the height direction of the regeneration shell 310; in the rotation direction around the rotating shaft, the guide member 330 divides the air duct into two sub-air ducts having a first air duct inlet, a second air duct inlet, a first air duct outlet and a second air duct outlet, the second air duct inlet is located on the side of the first air duct inlet facing the rotation direction, and the second air duct outlet is located on the side of the first air duct outlet facing the rotation direction.

[0054] The ratio of the area of ​​the first air duct inlet to the area of ​​the second air duct inlet is e, the ratio of the area of ​​the first air duct outlet to the area of ​​the second air duct outlet is k, and e>k.

[0055] When the regeneration fan 320 adopts a centrifugal fan, the air flow blown out by the centrifugal fan is output along the direction of its impeller, which will cause different air volumes on both sides of the air duct in the rotation direction S, and the air volume on the side of the air duct facing the rotation direction S will be greater than the air volume on the other side; when the air flow passes through the heater and enters the dehumidification component, the heat on the side of the dehumidification component facing the rotation direction S will be higher than the other side, which will cause uneven heating of the dehumidification component, reduce the dehumidification effect, and ultimately affect the drying effect of the drying module 10.

[0056] In the present invention, in the rotation direction around the rotating shaft of the centrifugal fan, the air duct is divided into two sub-air ducts with a first air duct inlet, a second air duct inlet, a first air duct outlet and a second air duct outlet by a flow guide member 330, and the ratio of the area of ​​the first air duct inlet to the area of ​​the second air duct inlet is greater than the ratio of the area of ​​the first air duct outlet to the area of ​​the second air duct outlet. The area of ​​the air duct outlet 312 of the sub-air duct on the side of the rotation direction S is relatively increased, thereby improving the uniformity of the air flow rate of the air duct outlet 312 around the rotation direction S, so that the air outlet of the air duct outlet 312 tends to be uniform, so that the moisture absorption and dehumidification component is heated evenly, thereby improving the dehumidification effect.

[0057] Among them, the area of ​​the first air duct inlet can be made larger than the area of ​​the second air duct inlet, thereby increasing the air intake of the first air duct and improving the gas flow of the first air duct; when the area of ​​the first air duct inlet is larger than the area of ​​the second air duct inlet, the area of ​​the first air duct outlet can be made smaller than or equal to the area of ​​the second air duct outlet, and the area of ​​the first air duct outlet can be relatively reduced to increase the gas flow of the first air duct outlet, thereby improving the uniformity of the air flow at the air duct outlet 312 in the rotation direction S.

[0058] Among them, the area of ​​the first air duct outlet can be made smaller than the area of ​​the second air duct outlet, thereby relatively increasing the gas flow rate at the first air duct outlet; when the area of ​​the first air duct outlet is smaller than the area of ​​the second air duct outlet, the area of ​​the first air duct inlet can be made greater than or equal to the area of ​​the second air duct inlet, so as to increase the air intake of the first air duct and improve the gas flow of the first air duct, thereby improving the uniformity of the air flow at the air duct outlet 312 in the rotation direction S.

[0059] Among them, the area of ​​the first air duct inlet can also be made smaller than the area of ​​the second air duct inlet, and the area of ​​the first air duct outlet can be made smaller than the area of ​​the second air duct outlet, so that the area ratio e of the first air duct inlet to the second air duct inlet is greater than the area ratio k of the first air duct outlet to the second air duct outlet.

[0060] like Figure 5As shown, the guide member 330 may be in a flat plate shape. The use of the flat plate guide member 330 can make the airflow in the air duct more inclined to horizontal flow, reduce the turbulent gas in the air duct, and thus better achieve the uniformity of the airflow in the air duct. Of course, the guide member 330 may also be in a curved or irregular shape, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0061] It should be noted that the ratio e of the area of ​​the first air duct inlet to the area of ​​the second air duct inlet and the ratio k of the area of ​​the first air duct outlet to the area of ​​the second air duct outlet can be designed according to the actual size and shape of the air duct and the difference in flow rate of the airflow provided by the centrifugal fan in the rotation direction S, as long as the effect of achieving uniform airflow is achieved. The present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0062] Among them, in the direction from the air duct inlet 311 to the air duct outlet 312, the length of the guide member 330 can be the same as the length of the air duct, that is, the two ends of the guide member 330 are respectively located on the air duct inlet 311 and the air duct outlet 312; of course, the length of the guide member 330 can also be less than the length of the air duct, one end of the guide member 330 is respectively located on the air duct inlet 311 and the air duct outlet 312, and the other end can be located in the air duct, or both ends of the guide member 330 are located in the air duct.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, the regeneration shell 310 includes an upper shell 3110 and a lower shell 3120 in the height direction, and the guide member 330 is connected to the upper shell 3110 and / or the lower shell 3120 .

[0064] In the height direction, the bottom end of the guide member 330 is fixedly connected to the lower shell 3120, and the top end of the guide member 330 is spaced or abutted against the upper shell 3110; or, the top end of the guide member 330 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 3110, and the bottom end of the guide member 330 is spaced or abutted against the lower shell 3120; or, the top end of the guide member 330 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 3110, and the bottom end of the guide member 330 is fixedly connected to the lower shell 3120. When the top end of the guide member 330 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 3110, and the bottom end of the guide member 330 is fixedly connected to the lower shell 3120, the guide member 330 can form a supporting effect for the upper shell 3110 and the lower shell 3120 to approach each other, and can improve the structural strength of the regeneration shell 310.

[0065] The guide member 330 may be fixedly connected to the regeneration housing 310 by plugging, bonding, welding, etc., or the guide member 330 may be formed into an integrated structure with the regeneration housing 310 by an integrated molding process.

[0066] In one embodiment, Figure 6As shown, the regeneration module 300 further includes: a support member 340, which is disposed in the air duct; along the height direction of the regeneration housing 310, at least one end of the support member 340 is connected to the regeneration housing 310. By arranging the support member 340 in the air duct, the air duct can be supported, the structural strength of the regeneration housing 310 is improved, and deformation of the housing is prevented.

[0067] At least one end of the support member 340 is detachably connected to the regeneration housing 310. In the height direction, the bottom end of the support member 340 is fixedly connected to the lower housing 3120, and the top end of the support member 340 is spaced or abutted against the upper housing 3110; or, the top end of the support member 340 is fixedly connected to the upper housing 3110, and the bottom end of the support member 340 is spaced or abutted against the lower housing 3120; or, the top end of the support member 340 is fixedly connected to the upper housing 3110, and the bottom end of the support member 340 is fixedly connected to the lower housing 3120. When there is a gap between the top or bottom end of the support member 340 and the regeneration housing 310, the gap is relatively small, for example, less than 5 mm, so that the support member 340 can be used to support the regeneration housing 310 in time when slight deformation occurs.

[0068] The support member 340 may be fixedly connected to the regeneration housing 310 by threaded connection, bonding, welding, etc., or the support member 340 may be formed into an integrated structure with the regeneration housing 310 by an integrated molding process.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, in the direction from the duct inlet 311 toward the duct outlet 312, the duct includes a first guide section 3130 and a second guide section 3140, the extension direction of the first guide section 3130 intersects with the extension direction of the second guide section 3140, and the support member 340 is supported at the position where the first guide section 3130 and the second guide section 3140 are connected.

[0070] Since the air inlet of the heating shell is fan-shaped, the air duct outlet 312 of the regeneration shell 310 needs to match the shape and size of the air inlet on the heating shell of the heating module 100, so the air duct outlet 312 and the air duct inlet 311 of the regeneration shell 310 are different in shape and size. By setting the first guide section 3130 and the second guide section 3140, the air duct inlet 311 is located on the first guide section 3130, and the air duct outlet 312 is located on the second guide section 3140; by setting the first guide section 3130 and the second guide section 3140, the air duct outlet 312 and the air duct inlet 311 of different shapes and sizes are satisfied, and the airflow in the air duct can be made to tend to laminar flow as much as possible, reducing turbulence, which is conducive to the purpose of uniforming the airflow in the air duct. Among them, the first guide section 3130 can be rectangular, and the second guide section 3140 can be fan-shaped.

[0071] By supporting the support member 340 at the position where the first guide section 3130 and the second guide section 3140 are connected, on the one hand, the strength of the regeneration shell 310 at the position where the first guide section 3130 and the second guide section 3140 are connected can be improved, and on the other hand, the influence of the setting of the support member 340 on the airflow in the flow channel can be reduced.

[0072] The regeneration module 300 may include a plurality of support members 340, which are arranged at intervals in the air duct. By arranging a plurality of support members 340 at intervals, a better support effect can be provided to the regeneration housing 310; for example, two, three or more support members 340 may be arranged in the air duct, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0073] When a plurality of support members 340 are provided, the support members 340 may be provided at the position where the first guide section 3130 and the second guide section 3140 are connected in the regeneration shell 310 , or may be provided at various positions in the regeneration shell 310 , and the present disclosure does not impose any limitation on this.

[0074] The support member 340 is in a column shape. By setting the support member 340 in a column shape, while providing support to the regeneration housing 310 , the influence of the setting of the support member 340 on the airflow in the air duct can be reduced.

[0075] The cross section of the support member 340 along the direction perpendicular to the height may be circular, elliptical, teardrop-shaped, etc., so that the support member 340 has a lower wind resistance. Of course, the cross section of the support member 340 along the direction perpendicular to the height may also be rectangular, triangular, pentagonal or irregular, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0076] In one embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the drying module 10 includes: a dehumidification module 200 and a heating module 100. The dehumidification module 200 includes a moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 and a dehumidification shell, the dehumidification shell forms a receiving space, and at least part of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 is arranged in the receiving space; the dehumidification shell is provided with a hot air inlet, and the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 is configured to absorb moisture in the gas entering the receiving space; the heating module 100 includes: a heating shell and a heater, the heating shell forms a receiving space, and the heating shell is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with the receiving space; the heater is arranged in the receiving space, and the heater is configured to heat the gas in the receiving space. The heating module 100 is fixed on the dehumidification shell, and at least part of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 is arranged opposite to the air outlet on the heating module 100, and the heating module 100 is configured to dehydrate the part of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 located at the air outlet.

[0077] The dehumidification shell may be provided with a connecting portion, on which a hot air inlet is formed, and the heating module 100 is assembled on the connecting portion so that the air outlet is connected to the hot air inlet.

[0078] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the drying module 10 is also connected to a circulation module 400, 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 supply the gas to be dehumidified in the clothing treatment drum 20 into the dehumidification module 200; or, the air inlet of the air blower is connected to the air outlet of the dehumidification module 200, and whose air inlet is connected to the air outlet of the clothing treatment drum 20, so as to form a negative pressure in the dehumidification module 200 by the air blower, so as to introduce the gas to be dehumidified in the clothing treatment drum 20 into the dehumidification module 200.

[0079] The dehumidified gas is processed by the dehumidification module 200 to form dry gas, so that the wet circulating gas becomes dry circulating gas. The dry gas enters the clothing processing drum 20 through the air inlet of the clothing processing drum 20 and contacts the clothes, thereby achieving the purpose of circulating dehumidification of the clothes in the clothing processing drum 20.

[0080] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the drying module 10 is also connected to a condensation module 500, which can condense and dehydrate the hot and humid gas after the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230 has been used for water desorption. The water vapor in 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 320 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 500 may include a tubular condenser, and the hot and humid gas is cooled by the tubular condenser, so that the water vapor in 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.

[0081] Among them, the gas delivered to the heating module 100 through the regeneration fan 320 can be dry cold gas after moisture is desorbed by the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230, that is, the gas is recycled, and the humidity of the delivered gas is relatively low, which can improve the drying efficiency and reduce energy consumption; or, the regeneration fan 320 of the heating module 100 can also directly inhale gas from the outside.

[0082] In one embodiment, Figure 7As shown, the dehumidification shell 201 includes a first dehumidification shell 210 and a second dehumidification shell 220, and 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 dehumidification component 230 is located; one of the first dehumidification shell 210 and the second dehumidification shell 220 is provided with an air inlet, and the other is provided with an air outlet, and the dehumidification component 230 is configured to be able to absorb moisture in the gas entering the accommodating space; a hot air inlet is formed on the first dehumidification shell 210.

[0083] Among them, 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.

[0084] Among them, the air outlet of the heating module 100 is connected to the hot air inlet on the first dehumidification shell 210, that is, a third gas flow channel is formed between the heater 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.

[0085] 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.

[0086] 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.

[0087] The moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 is 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. 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.

[0088] 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.

[0089] The moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 may be a honeycomb or corrugated moisture absorption and dehumidification member carrying a desiccant, which can adsorb and desorb / desorb the absorbed water vapor to achieve repeated desorption and regeneration.

[0090] The moisture absorption and dehumidification member 230 includes 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.

[0091] The present disclosure does not limit the specific material of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component 230. Any moisture absorption and dehumidification component that can achieve the moisture absorption and dehumidification effect belongs to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0092] The drying module provided in the present disclosure can be used in clothing processing equipment, and the clothing processing equipment can be, for example, a washing and drying machine; of course, the drying module provided in the present disclosure can also be applied to household appliances that require moisture absorption / drying, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and dishwashers.
