The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0039] Refer to Figures 1 to 3The present application proposes a clothes processing device 100, which can be a washing machine, a dryer, a washer-dryer, etc., for washing and dehydrating various types of clothes. In an embodiment of the present application, the clothes processing device 100 includes a box, a barrel assembly 50, a drying channel shell 20, a fan 70, a heat pump system 30 and an inverter 40.

[0040] The housing constitutes the outer shell of the clothes processing device 100, and can provide a mounting base for the barrel assembly 50, the drying tunnel housing 20, the fan 70, and the heat pump system 30, and play a protective role. At the same time, the surface of the housing also constitutes the main appearance of the clothes processing device 100. The housing has a base 10, which is used to be supported on the ground or the mounting surface, and the barrel assembly 50, the drying tunnel housing 20, the fan 70, and the heat pump system 30 are all arranged on the base 10.

[0041] The barrel assembly 50 is a structure in the clothing processing device 100 mainly used to provide clothing processing functions. The barrel assembly 50 defines a clothing processing chamber and a loading port connected to the clothing processing chamber. Clothes can be put into the clothing processing chamber through the loading port, or taken out of the clothing processing chamber through the loading port.

[0042] The drying channel shell 20 is connected to the base 10, and defines the drying channel 60 and the first and second air outlets connecting the drying channel 60 and the clothing processing chamber together with the base 10. It should be noted that the drying channel 60 can also be directly formed by the drying channel shell 20 itself, so as to facilitate the control of the specific shape of the drying channel 60. It can be understood that the gas can flow into the clothing processing chamber through the drying channel 60 to dry the clothes. The drying channel shell 20 is made of metal or other high-temperature resistant materials to have sufficient strength and good tolerance to high-temperature airflow, thereby improving the service life of the drying channel shell 20.

[0043] The fan 70 is connected to the base 10, and includes a motor 71 and an impeller 72. The impeller 72 is disposed in the drying tunnel 60 and is connected to the output end of the motor 71 so as to rotate under the drive of the motor 71. The rotating impeller 72 drives the airflow into the clothing processing chamber through the first air port, and after processing the clothing, the airflow flows into the drying tunnel 60 from the second air port. Optionally, the first air port is disposed near the bottom of the clothing processing chamber, and the second air port is disposed near the loading port.

[0044] The heat pump system 30 can form a refrigerant cycle and is used to heat the air flowing through the drying tunnel 60. The heat pump system 30 includes a compressor 31, a condenser 33, an evaporator 32, and an expansion valve 34. The compressor 31, the condenser 33, the expansion valve 34, and the evaporator 32 are arranged in series in sequence. The compressor 31 is connected to the condenser 33, the condenser 33 is connected to the expansion valve 34, and the expansion valve 34 is connected to the evaporator 32 through corresponding refrigerant pipelines respectively. The specific type of the refrigerant is not limited and can be selected and determined according to the actual operating conditions. It should be noted that in another embodiment, the expansion valve 34 described above can be a capillary tube. The compressor 31, the condenser 33, and the evaporator 32 are all arranged on the base 10, and along the flow direction of the air flow in the drying tunnel 60 (from the second air outlet to the first air outlet), the evaporator 32 and the condenser 33 are arranged at intervals in sequence.

[0045] The working principle of the heat pump system 30 is as follows: The compressor 31 sucks in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, compresses it and discharges it at high pressure. The discharged high-pressure refrigerant enters the condenser 33 and is cooled by the normal-temperature air and condenses into high-pressure liquid (while transferring heat to the surrounding air); after the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the expansion valve 34 for throttling and pressure reduction, it becomes a low-pressure and low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture and then enters the evaporator 32. The liquid refrigerant in it evaporates and refrigerates in the evaporator 32 (while absorbing the heat in the surrounding air), and the generated low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is sucked in by the compressor 31 again for pressurization, and so on, cycling continuously to achieve heat exchange.

[0046] Therefore, the working process of the laundry treatment device 100 during the laundry drying operation is as follows: The condenser 33 heats the air flow in the drying tunnel 60 to generate high-temperature drying air at about 40°C - 65°C. The drying air enters the laundry treatment chamber through the first air outlet; in the laundry treatment chamber, the drying air flows through the surface of the wet laundry, conducts heat and moisture exchange with the wet laundry, absorbs the moisture in the laundry, and becomes high-temperature and high-humidity gas. The high-temperature and high-humidity gas is discharged from the laundry treatment chamber through the second air outlet, and then passes through the evaporator 32. The high-temperature and high-humidity air is cooled and becomes low-temperature and low-humidity gas, and flows towards the condenser 33. By circulating and operating like this, continuous and efficient drying of the laundry is achieved.

[0047] The treatment of cooling and dehumidifying the warm and humid gas in the evaporator 32 is achieved through heat exchange between the refrigerant. The circulation of the refrigerant in the closed refrigerant circuit is realized by the operation of the compressor 31. In the embodiment of the present invention, the frequency converter 40 is electrically connected to the compressor 31 of the heat pump system 30. The frequency converter 40 can control the operating frequency of the compressor 31, and the compressor 31 operates at different operating frequencies in different stages. That is to say, the frequency of the compressor 31 is adjustable. When the frequency converter 40 adjusts the frequency of the compressor 31, the refrigerant flow rate in the system and the operating time of the compressor 31 can be adjusted, thereby affecting the operating conditions of the evaporator 32 and the condenser 33. For example, when more cooling capacity is required, the frequency converter 40 will increase the frequency of the compressor 31, resulting in more refrigerant being compressed and delivered to the evaporator 32, thereby enhancing the refrigeration effect of the evaporator 32. On the contrary, when it is necessary to reduce power consumption or adapt to low-load requirements, the frequency conversion control board 42 will decrease the frequency of the compressor 31, reduce the refrigerant flow rate, and reduce the operating time of the system to achieve the purpose of energy saving. It should be noted that the frequency converter 40 of the present application can also be used to control other structures of the laundry treatment device 100, such as the blower 70, etc., to control the output power of the blower 70.

[0048] In the related art, the frequency converter is usually fixed on the base. However, the space of the base is usually limited, and placing the frequency converter may be restricted by the space. The frequency converter will be restricted by the surrounding components on the base, resulting in the problem that the frequency converter is not easy to install.

[0049] Referring to Figure 3 , to solve the above problems, the frequency converter 40 of the present application is electrically connected to the compressor 31, and the frequency converter 40 is arranged on the drying chamber housing 20. Along the flow direction of the air flow in the drying chamber 60, the frequency converter 40 is located on the upstream side of the condenser 33.

[0050] In the laundry treatment device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the drying chamber housing 20 and the base 10 jointly construct the drying chamber 60. The frequency converter 40 is directly arranged on the drying chamber housing 20, so as to avoid occupying the space of the base 10 by the frequency converter 40. Compared with the traditional scheme of directly setting the frequency converter 40 on the base 10, the present application effectively utilizes the space near the drying chamber housing 20 of the laundry treatment device 100, improves the compactness of the overall structure of the laundry treatment device 100, and after installation, the frequency converter 40 does not interfere with the various structures on the base 10, is convenient to install, and can ensure the reliability of the installation of the frequency converter 40.

[0051] In addition, the evaporator 32 and the condenser 33 of the heat pump system 30 are arranged at intervals in the drying tunnel 60 in sequence and are arranged along the flow direction of the air flow in the drying tunnel 60. In this layout, the installation position of the frequency converter 40 is on the upstream side of the condenser 33, and the temperature of the air flow in the drying tunnel 60 on the upstream side of the condenser 33 is relatively low. Therefore, setting the frequency converter 40 close to this position can help dissipate heat from the frequency converter 40, thus effectively improving the heat dissipation conditions of the frequency converter 40 and prolonging the service life of the frequency converter 40.

[0052] It should be noted that the frequency converter 40 can share part of the housing with the drying tunnel housing 20. In this way, the drying tunnel housing 20 can be used to protect the components inside the frequency converter, and at the same time, the air flow in the drying tunnel 60 can also dissipate heat from the internal components of the frequency converter. By integrating a part of the housing of the frequency converter 40 onto the drying tunnel housing 20, the complexity of the housing of the frequency converter 40 and the material usage can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall cost of the laundry treatment device 100. Of course, in another structural form, the housing of the frequency converter 40 can be abutted against the outer wall surface of the drying tunnel housing 20. Since the air after passing through the condenser will be hotter than the air that has not passed through the condenser, setting the frequency converter 40 on the upstream side of the condenser 33 can also help dissipate heat from the frequency converter 40 compared to setting it on the downstream side of the condenser 33.

[0053] Optionally, along the flow direction of the air flow in the drying tunnel 60, the frequency converter 40 is at least partially located between the condenser 33 and the evaporator 32. It should be noted that the frequency converter 40 can be directly placed above the condenser 33 and the evaporator 32 and located between them. Or it can also be that the projection of the frequency converter 40 on the base 10 is located between the condenser 33 and the evaporator 32. In this way, the frequency converter 40 is at least partially located behind the evaporator 32 and in front of the condenser 33. The air flow after passing through the evaporator 32 is a low-temperature and low-humidity gas. Since the function of the evaporator 32 is to cool the high-temperature gas into a low-temperature and low-humidity gas, the air flow after passing through the evaporator 32 has a lower temperature and smaller humidity. When such a low-temperature and low-humidity air flow passes through the heat dissipation member 43, the cooling effect on the frequency converter 40 can be further improved.

[0054] In order to further improve the installation convenience and efficiency of the frequency converter 40, a limiting groove (not shown) can be selectively recessed on the outer surface or inner surface of the drying tunnel shell 20 so that the frequency converter 40 can be embedded therein. Through the setting of this limiting groove, the frequency converter 40 can be effectively positioned to ensure its stable installation on the drying tunnel shell 20. This design not only simplifies the installation process but also reduces potential installation errors or instability factors, improving the overall reliability of the device. In addition, there are various fixing methods for the frequency converter 40, and a suitable method can be selected according to specific requirements. For example, it can be fixed with screws, which is simple and reliable and is suitable for situations with strict requirements for the position of the frequency converter 40; it can also be fixed with buckles, which is easy to operate and is suitable for scenarios that require frequent replacement or maintenance; additionally, bonding and other methods can also be considered, which can reduce the damage to the drying tunnel shell 20 and provide a more secure fixing effect. By flexibly selecting the fixing method, the requirements in different scenarios can be better met to ensure the stability and safety of the frequency converter 40.

[0055] Referring to Figure 4 , in some structural forms, the drying tunnel shell 20 includes a top shell 21 and a side shell 22. The side shell 22 is connected between the top shell 21 and the base 10 to jointly enclose a drying tunnel 60. The frequency converter 40 is installed on the top shell 21, and the frequency converter 40 is connected to the outer surface of the top shell 21. Among them, the top shell 21 and the side shell 22 can adopt an integral structure, which can not only ensure the stability of the overall structure of the drying tunnel shell 20 but also simplify the assembly process, saving time and labor costs. The cover shell 41 can be separately connected to the top shell 21, or separately connected to the side shell 22. Even the cover shell 41 can be simultaneously connected to the top shell 21 and the side shell 22. In this way, by directly installing the cover shell 41 on the top shell 21 or the side shell 22, the space on the top shell 21 and the side shell 22 can be utilized, avoiding the cover shell 41 directly occupying the installation position on the base 10. Such a design not only optimizes the space layout inside the clothing treatment device 100, reduces the installation interference between the cover shell 41 and other components on the base 10, but also improves the overall aesthetics and practicality of the device.

[0056] Furthermore, the frequency converter 40 is connected to the outer surface of the top shell 21 so that it can be directly repaired from the outer surface of the top shell 21 after subsequent maintenance processes, reducing the number of times of disassembling other components due to maintenance needs, saving maintenance time and labor costs, and improving the convenience of maintenance. And the orthographic projection of the frequency converter 40 on the top shell 21 is located inside the top shell 21, so as to avoid the frequency converter 40 protruding into the space outside the top shell 21, thereby reducing the connection and wiring space occupied by other components, making the structure inside the clothing treatment device 100 more compact, reducing the manufacturing cost of the clothing treatment device 100, and improving the overall reliability. It is not easily damaged by collision.

[0057] Optionally, the frequency converter 40 is arranged in a flat shape. The frequency converter 40 includes at least one mounting surface which is connected to the outer surface of the top shell 21. Herein, the mounting surface is the end surface in the thickness direction of the frequency converter 40. The frequency converter 40 arranged in a flat shape can reduce the occupied space in the height direction within the laundry treatment device 100. Meanwhile, the flat design of the frequency converter 40 also helps to improve the heat dissipation effect. Due to its relatively large surface area, it can dissipate heat more effectively, improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the frequency converter 40, and further ensure its stable operation. Therefore, this design can not only save space, but also improve the performance and reliability of the device.

[0058] Optionally, the frequency converter 40 is located between the top shell 21 and the tub assembly 50. Thus, the space between the top shell 21 and the tub assembly 50 is utilized to further distance from other components on the base 10, thereby reducing the installation interference between the frequency converter 40 and other components on the base 10. Meanwhile, the internal structure of the laundry treatment device 100 is made more compact, and the space utilization rate is further improved.

[0059] Referring to Figure 5 , in some structural forms, the base 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and side plates 12 detachably connected to the edge of the bottom plate 11. Herein, the bottom plate 11 and the side plates 12 can be detachably connected by means of screws or snaps, etc., to ensure firm connection and convenient disassembly. The frequency converter 40 is installed on the outer surface of the side shell 22 and is located between the side shell 22 and the side plates 12. After the side plates 12 are disassembled during the subsequent maintenance process, the frequency converter 40 can be directly exposed, and thus the frequency converter 40 can be directly disassembled from the outer surface of the side shell 22 for maintenance without having to disassemble the entire drying channel shell 20. Through such a design, not only the maintenance process is simplified, but also the difficulty and cost of maintenance are reduced, and the convenience of maintenance is improved.

[0060] Further, the frequency converter 40 is arranged in a flat shape. The frequency converter 40 includes at least one mounting surface which is connected to the outer surface of the side shell 22. Herein, the mounting surface is the end surface in the thickness direction of the frequency converter 40. The frequency converter 40 arranged in such a flat shape can reduce the occupied space in the width direction within the laundry treatment device 100. Meanwhile, the flat design of the frequency converter 40 also helps to improve the heat dissipation effect. Due to its relatively large surface area, it can dissipate heat more effectively, improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the frequency converter 40, and further ensure its stable operation. Therefore, this design can not only save space, but also improve the performance and reliability of the device.

[0061] Optionally, the surface of the side plate 12 facing the side shell 22 abuts against the frequency converter 40. Thus, the installation stability of the frequency converter 40 can be further improved by the abutment of the side plate 12 against the frequency converter 40.

[0062] Referring to Figure 5, in some structural forms, the frequency converter 40 includes a housing 41 and a frequency conversion control board 42. The housing 41 is connected to the side shell 22. One side of the housing 41 facing away from the side shell 22 is open. The side plate 12 is connected to the housing 41 and covers the opening. The side plate 12 and the housing 41 jointly define an accommodation cavity 10A, and the frequency converter 40 is arranged in the accommodation cavity 10A. Among them, the housing 41 can be fixed to the drying tunnel shell 20 or fixed to the base 10. Of course, the housing 41 can be fixed to both the drying tunnel shell 20 and the base 10 at the same time. The housing 41 can be made of a non-metallic material such as plastic. Non-metallic materials such as plastic are lighter than metallic materials and can effectively reduce the overall mass of the frequency converter 40, making installation and operation more convenient. The frequency conversion control board 42 is arranged in the housing 41. Specifically, the frequency conversion control board 42 can be connected to the inner wall of the housing 41 by bonding or screws. The frequency conversion control board 42 can be a PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly). Due to the adoption of PCBA technology, the electronic components on the frequency conversion control board 42 can be highly integrated, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the board and improving the overall reliability.

[0063] Furthermore, the frequency converter 40 further includes a sealing member (not shown). The sealing member is arranged between the housing 41 and the side plate 12 to seal the gap between the housing 41 and the side plate 12. The existence of such a sealing member reduces the possible interference caused by potential external influences on the frequency conversion control board 42 in the housing 41. Such potential influences may include temperature changes, humidity changes, and the intrusion of dust and impurities, all of which may pose a threat to the stable operation of the frequency conversion control board 42. The setting of the sealing member can provide a more stable and safe working environment for the frequency conversion control board 42. During the operation of the laundry treatment device 100, a relatively high temperature may be generated inside the laundry treatment device 100. Therefore, the sealing member needs to be able to withstand these high-temperature environments without being damaged or failing. Secondly, the sealing member needs to have good elasticity and compressibility. This can ensure that the sealing member can closely fit the wall of the communication port 20a and the heat dissipation substrate 431 when filling the gap, forming an effective seal. At the same time, it also needs to be able to withstand compression and stretching without losing its sealing performance.
