For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0037] Based on the problem pointed out in the background technology that the lint accumulation in the air duct of the existing clothing treatment device affects the drying efficiency, the present utility model provides a clothes dryer, aiming to set a collection box communicated with the air duct. When it is necessary to clean the lint in the air duct, the fan can discharge the air in the collection box, causing a negative pressure in the collection box, so as to suck the lint in the air duct into the collection box, avoiding the influence of lint accumulation on the air flow in the air duct, and thus ensuring the drying efficiency of the clothes dryer.
[0038] Specifically, first refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a partial structural schematic Figure 1 of the clothing treatment device of the present utility model, Figure 2 is a partial structural schematic Figure 2 of the clothing treatment device of the present utility model.
[0039] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the dryer of the present utility model includes an air duct 1, a collection box 2, and a fan 3. The air duct 1 is provided with an opening, the collection box 2 is communicated with the opening, the collection box 2 is provided with an air outlet, the fan 3 is installed on the air outlet, and the fan 3 can discharge the air in the collection box 2 to generate negative pressure in the collection box 2, thereby sucking the lint in the air duct 1 into the collection box 2.
[0040] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the present utility model is provided with an opening at the bottom of the air duct 1, the top of the collection box 2 is communicated with the opening on the air duct 1, the bottom of the side wall of the collection box 2 is provided with an air outlet, the fan 3 is installed on the air outlet. When it is necessary to clean the lint in the air duct 1, the fan 3 is started. The fan 3 can discharge the air in the collection box 2, thereby generating negative pressure in the collection box 2. The lint in the air duct 1 enters the collection box 2 through the opening along with the air, thereby sucking the lint in the air duct 1 into the collection box 2, avoiding the influence of lint accumulation on the air flow in the air duct 1 and ensuring the drying efficiency of the clothing processing equipment.
[0041] It should be noted that the present utility model does not limit the setting position of the air outlet. For example, those skilled in the art can also set the air outlet at the middle position or the top of the collection box 2, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting position of the air outlet do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model and should be limited within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0042] Preferably, as Figure 2 shown, the dryer of the present utility model further includes a collection net, and the collection net is installed in the collection box 2. The collection net is used to collect the sucked lint.
[0043] Exemplarily, as Figure 2 shown, the collection net of the present utility model is installed in the collection box 2, and the net opening of the collection net is fixed at the connection between the top of the collection box 2 and the opening of the air duct 1. When it is necessary to clean the lint in the air duct 1, the fan 3 is started. The fan 3 can discharge the air in the collection box 2 to generate negative pressure in the collection box 2, thereby sucking the lint in the air duct 1 into the collection net and avoiding the lint in the collection box 2 being discharged along with the fan 3.
[0044] Preferably, the dryer of the present utility model further includes a filtering device installed in the air duct 1. The filtering device is arranged close to the opening and is located downstream of the opening. The filtering device can filter the lint in the air duct 1.
[0045] Exemplarily, the filtering device of the present utility model is installed in the air duct 1 and perpendicular to the direction of air flow. The filtering device is installed downstream of the opening of the air duct 1. When the dryer dries clothes, when the circulating air carries debris such as lint through the filtering device, the lint is filtered out by the filtering device and accumulates on the filtering device, and accumulates together near the opening. Thus, when it is necessary to clean the lint in the air duct 1, the blower 3 is turned on, and the collection box 2 can quickly suck out the lint by relying on negative pressure, improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0046] It should be noted that the present utility model does not limit the type of the filtering device. For example, those skilled in the art can also set the filtering device as a filter mesh or a filter, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific type of the filtering device do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model and should all be limited within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0047] Preferably, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the dryer of the present utility model further includes a connecting air duct 4. One end of the connecting air duct 4 is communicated with the opening, and the other end of the connecting air duct 4 is communicated with the collection box 2.

The top of the box body 21 is communicated with the connecting air duct 4, and an air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the box body 21 opposite to the access opening.
[0055] It should be noted that the cover body 22 of the dryer of the present utility model is arranged in the same plane as the outer shell of the dryer. That is to say, the cover body 22 is a part of the outer shell of the dryer.
[0056] Preferably, as Figure 2 shown, a convex structure 221 is arranged on the outer side wall of the cover body 22 of the present utility model.
[0057] Exemplarily, as Figure 2 shown, a cylindrical convex structure 221, that is, the handle of the cover body 22, is arranged at the middle position of the outer side wall of the cover body 22 of the present utility model. By arranging the convex structure 221 on the cover body 22, the cover body 22 can be conveniently removed from the box body 21, thus facilitating the cleaning work of the collection box 2.
[0058] Preferably, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the dryer of the present utility model further includes a heat pump module. The evaporator and condenser of the heat pump module are arranged in the air duct 1, the air outlet faces the compressor 5 of the heat pump module, and the blower 3 can blow air towards the compressor 5.
[0059] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the evaporator and condenser of the heat pump module of the present utility model are arranged in the air duct 1 and are used to heat and dehumidify the air in the air duct 1. The compressor 5 is arranged vertically on one side of the collection box 2, and the air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the collection box 2 adjacent to the compressor 5. When the fan 3 is turned on, the fan 3 can suck out the air in the collection box 2 and blow it towards the compressor 5, so as to dissipate heat and cool down the compressor 5, thereby improving the working efficiency of the compressor 5.
[0060] Those skilled in the art can understand that although some of the embodiments described herein include certain features included in other embodiments rather than other features, the combination of the features of different embodiments means that it is within the scope of the present application and forms different embodiments.
