[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a clothing care machine, comprising an indoor box and an outdoor box;
[0023] A compressor 1 and a liquid storage tank 3 are arranged inside the outdoor box;
[0024] The indoor box is provided with a condenser 2, a throttling element 5 and an evaporator 6;
[0025] The compressor 1, the condenser 2, the liquid storage tank 3, the throttling element 5 and the evaporator 6 constitute a temperature and humidity control system of a clothing care machine having a refrigerant circulation medium.
[0026] When installing the clothing care machine in this embodiment, by placing the noisy compressor 1 and the liquid storage 3 in the outdoor box, that is, outside the room, and placing the condenser 2, the throttling element 5 and the evaporator 6 in the indoor box, that is, inside the room, the indoor noise of the clothing care machine during operation can be effectively reduced. Moreover, in the clothing care machine in this embodiment, only the indoor box part is arranged indoors, which can effectively reduce the floor space occupied by the clothing care machine indoors compared to placing the entire clothing care machine indoors. In addition, both the outdoor box and the indoor box can be hung on the wall, which can effectively save the floor space used in the user's home.
[0027] In this embodiment, the exhaust port of the compressor 1 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 2 through a high-pressure connecting pipe, the outlet of the condenser 2 is connected to the inlet of the liquid reservoir 3 through a high-pressure connecting pipe, the outlet of the liquid reservoir 3 is connected to the inlet of the throttling element 5 through a low-pressure connecting pipe, the outlet of the throttling element 5 is connected to the inlet of the evaporator 6, and the outlet of the evaporator 6 is connected to the return air port of the compressor 1 through a low-pressure connecting pipe.
[0028] Obviously, based on the above, the compressor 1, condenser 2, liquid storage tank 3, throttling element 5 and evaporator 6 circulate inside the various components of the temperature and humidity control system of the clothing care machine through the refrigerant, and the gas circulates outside the device. The refrigerant circulation absorbs or releases heat and transfers it to the gas. The water vapor in the gas is retained after condensing on the surface of the evaporator 6. The gas is heated by the surface of the condenser 2 and becomes a high-temperature and low-humidity gas, thereby achieving the purpose of regulating the temperature and humidity of the gas entering the clothing storage room.
[0029] In this embodiment, the diameter of the high-pressure connecting pipe is smaller than the diameter of the low-pressure connecting pipe.
[0030] Obviously, based on the above, since the diameter of the high-pressure connecting pipe is smaller than the diameter of the low-pressure connecting pipe, the flow rate of the medium is changed, thereby improving the refrigeration effect.
[0031] In another embodiment, the diameter of the high-pressure connecting pipe is equal to the diameter of the low-pressure connecting pipe, that is, the high-pressure connecting pipe and the low-pressure connecting pipe can be pipes of the same specification to reduce costs.
[0032] In this embodiment, a drying filter 4 is arranged between the liquid storage tank 3 and the throttling element 5 .
[0033] Obviously, by setting up a drying filter, the moisture and various impurities in the refrigerant circulation medium, such as metal powder, dirt, etc., can be effectively removed to prevent ice blockage and dirty blockage, thereby protecting key components such as the compressor, ensuring the normal operation of the temperature and humidity control system of the clothing care machine and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0034] In this embodiment, the indoor box has a clothing storage room, and an air inlet connected to the clothing storage room is opened on one side of the indoor box close to the evaporator 6, and an air outlet connected to the clothing storage room is opened on one side of the indoor box close to the condenser 2. The air in the clothing storage room is dehumidified by the temperature and humidity adjustment system of the clothing care machine and then introduced into the clothing storage room.
[0035] In this embodiment, a fan 7 is installed in the indoor box near the air outlet, and the fan 7 accelerates the circulation of gas.
[0036] In this embodiment, a water supply system is also provided inside the indoor box, and the water supply system includes a water inlet pump, a water inlet box and a steam generator. The water inlet of the water inlet pump is connected to the inside of the water inlet box, the water outlet of the water inlet pump is connected to the inlet of the steam generator, and the outlet of the steam generator is connected to the air inlet of the indoor box. By setting the steam generator in the water supply system to work, the clothes are cared for to achieve the purpose of removing wrinkles and odors. In this embodiment, the humidification clothing care process is run first and then the clothing drying process is run.
[0037] In this embodiment, a drainage system is provided at the bottom of the condenser 2, and the drainage system includes a condensation water collecting pan, a drainage pump and a drainage box. The condensation water collecting pan is arranged below the condenser 2, the inlet of the drainage pump is connected to the inside of the condensation water collecting pan, and the outlet of the drainage pump is connected to the inside of the drainage box. The water generated in the temperature and humidity adjustment system of the clothing care machine is collected and discharged into the drainage box through the drainage pump and then discharged.
[0038] As another embodiment of the present application, this embodiment proposes a clothing care machine, including the clothing care machine in any of the above embodiments, the clothing care machine also including a first temperature sensor 8, a temperature and humidity sensor 9, a second temperature sensor 10, and a controller. The first temperature sensor 8 is arranged at a position near the air outlet of the indoor box, the temperature and humidity sensor 9 is arranged at a position near the air inlet of the indoor box, and the second temperature sensor 10 is arranged at the exhaust pipe of the compressor 1. The signal output ends of the first temperature sensor 8, the temperature and humidity sensor 9, and the second temperature sensor 10 are connected to the signal input ends of the controller, and the signal output end of the controller is connected to the signal input end of the temperature and humidity adjustment system of the clothing care machine. By monitoring the temperature at the indoor box near the air outlet, the temperature at the exhaust pipe of the compressor 1, and the temperature and humidity at the indoor box near the air inlet, the temperature and humidity adjustment system, the water supply system, and the drainage system of the clothing care machine are controlled to form a complete drying control system.
[0039] In this embodiment, the clothing care machine also includes a human sensing module, and the signal output end of the human sensing module is connected to the signal input end of the controller. After the human body signal is sensed by the human sensing module, the operation display page is awakened to facilitate user operation.
[0040] In order to more clearly illustrate the scheme and effect of this implementation, examples are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The high-temperature and high-humidity gas converted by the steam generator contacts the evaporator 6 through the air inlet to achieve the dehumidification result, and becomes medium-temperature and low-humidity gas. After being heated by the condenser 2, it becomes high-temperature and low-humidity gas and enters the clothing storage room to blow the clothes. The gas in the clothing storage room circulates back and forth and enters the temperature and humidity adjustment system of the clothing care machine, taking away the moisture in the clothing storage room, thereby achieving the drying of the clothes in the indoor box.
