Detailed implementation manners

[0027] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the technical solutions provided by the present utility model. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the technical solutions provided by the present utility model can be implemented without one or more of these details.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present utility model. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should also be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they specify the presence of the described features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0029] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present utility model will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited only to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present utility model is thorough and complete, and the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a laundry treatment device 100. Among them, the laundry treatment device 100 at least has a drying function, that is, the laundry treatment device 100 can be a dryer or a washer-dryer.

[0031] It can be understood that the laundry treatment device 100 is mostly in the form of a drum, and the capacity of the laundry treatment device 100 can be small, 3 - 5 kilograms, medium, 6 - 8 kilograms, large, 9 kilograms and above, mini, less than 3 kilograms, etc.

[0032] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a laundry treatment device 100, including: a housing assembly 110; a laundry treatment tub 120, the laundry treatment tub 120 is installed inside the housing assembly 110, and the laundry treatment tub 120 is provided with a laundry treatment cavity 121; a drying duct 130, the drying duct 130 is connected to the housing assembly 110 and is located between the housing assembly 110 and the laundry treatment tub 120, and the drying duct 130 has a drying channel communicating with the laundry treatment cavity 121.

[0033] Among them, the laundry treatment tub 120 can include various forms to meet the requirements of different structures and capacities of the laundry treatment device 100. Specifically, the laundry treatment tub 120 can include an outer tub 122 and an inner tub 123 rotatably disposed within the outer tub 122. During the working process, the inner tub 123 rotates relative to the outer tub 122. At the same time, the outer tub 122 also rotates slowly. The two cooperate with each other to realize operations such as drying of clothes. Alternatively, the laundry treatment tub 120 can be of a single-tub structure. During the working process, the laundry treatment tub 120 rotates to realize operations such as drying of clothes. It can be understood that the laundry treatment chamber 121 is provided in the laundry treatment tub 120. The laundry treatment chamber 121 is used to accommodate clothes. Further, the laundry treatment chamber 121 includes a laundry inlet. Clothes are put into or taken out of the laundry treatment chamber 121 through the laundry inlet.

[0034] Among them, the laundry treatment tub 120 is installed inside the housing assembly 110, so that the housing assembly 110 can provide good support and protection for the laundry treatment tub 120, and improve the reliability of the laundry treatment tub 120.

[0035] Among them, the drying duct 130 is mainly used for conveying a fluid medium (such as air). The inside of the drying duct 130 is of a hollow structure, that is, the inside of the drying duct 130 is a drying channel. The drying channel enables the fluid medium to flow inside it. In the embodiment of the present utility model, for the convenience of understanding, through this drying duct 130, a treatment medium required for drying clothes is conveyed, such as conveying a drying air flow.

[0036] Further, the laundry treatment device 100 further includes components disposed in the drying duct 130. For example, the components in the drying duct include a drying fan. Usually, the drying fan is located in the drying duct 130. As a power source, the drying fan can convey the drying air flow in the drying duct 130.

[0037] The clothing treatment device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing assembly 110, a clothing treatment barrel 120, and a drying channel 130. The drying channel 130 is connected to the housing assembly 110 and is located between the housing assembly 110 and the clothing treatment barrel 120. The drying channel 130 has a drying channel communicating with the clothing treatment cavity 121. Thus, through the drying channel 130, drying air flow can be conveyed into the clothing treatment cavity 121 to perform a drying operation on the clothing. Since during the working process of the clothing treatment device 100, the housing assembly 110 has relatively high stability compared to the clothing treatment barrel 120, that is, the housing assembly 110 generally does not rotate, and the clothing treatment barrel 120 generally rotates. The rotating clothing treatment barrel 120 will drive the drying channel 130 to shake. And the components (such as the drying fan) in the drying channel 130 work under the shaking condition, which will cause relatively large wear on the fan bearing, reduce the service life of the fan, and increase the noise during the operation of the fan. Therefore, in the present utility model, by connecting the drying channel 130 to the housing assembly 110, that is, fixing the drying channel 130 on the housing assembly 110, compared with the related art where the drying channel is fixed on the clothing treatment barrel, the possibility of the drying channel 130 shaking can be reduced, the influence of the shaking of the drying channel 130 on the drying fan in the drying channel 130 can be reduced, and further the service life of the fan can be improved and the working noise of the fan can be reduced.

[0038] Further, the components of the clothing treatment device 100 located in the drying channel 130 may further include a heater. The heater is installed on the drying channel 130 to heat the drying air flow in the drying channel 130. Thus, it can be ensured that the drying air flow conveyed into the clothing treatment cavity 121 through the drying channel 130 has a relatively high temperature or a suitable temperature to ensure good drying effect and drying efficiency.

[0039] In the clothing treatment device in the related art, the drying channel is fixed on the clothing treatment barrel, making the overall distance between the drying channel and the clothing treatment barrel relatively close. For example, along the flowing direction of the drying channel, part of the outer surface of the drying channel will be in contact with the clothing treatment barrel, and further the distance between the heater in the drying channel and the clothing treatment barrel is relatively close. The high temperature of the heater will have a certain impact on the reliability of the clothing treatment barrel. For this reason, it is usually necessary to set a heat insulation member between the clothing treatment barrel and the drying channel to reduce the influence of the high temperature of the heater on the clothing treatment barrel.

[0040] However, for the laundry treatment device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, since the drying channel 130 is connected to the housing assembly 110, except for the part of the drying channel 130 that communicates with the laundry treatment chamber 121, the distance between the other parts of the drying channel 130 and the laundry treatment tub 120 is relatively large. For example, along the flow direction of the drying channel, the outer surface of the drying channel 130 is spaced apart from the laundry treatment tub 120. Compared with the related art where the drying channel is fixed on the laundry treatment tub, this setting can increase the distance between the heater in the drying channel 130 and the laundry treatment tub 120, thereby reducing the influence of the high temperature of the heater on the reliability of the laundry treatment tub 120, simplifying the setting of the heat insulation member, being beneficial to extending the service life of the laundry treatment tub 120, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the laundry treatment device 100, which is suitable for popularization and application. It can be understood that the spacing distance between the outer surface of the drying channel 130 and the laundry treatment tub 120 can be comprehensively set along the flow direction of the drying channel according to factors such as heat insulation requirements and the volume of the laundry treatment device 100.

[0041] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present utility model, the housing assembly 110 includes an outer shell 111, and the outer shell 111 is provided with ventilation holes; the drying channel 130 includes an air inlet end 131 and an air outlet end 133. The air inlet end 131 is provided with an air inlet 132. The air inlet end 131 is in contact with the outer shell 111 so that the air inlet 132 communicates with the ventilation holes 1111. Thus, the air inlet end 131 of the drying channel 130 is communicated with the external environment, and the air outlet end 133 is communicated with the laundry treatment chamber 121, thereby realizing the communication between the drying channel 130 and the laundry treatment chamber 121.

[0042] In the laundry treatment device in the related art, the laundry treatment tub rotates during the working process. Since the drying channel is connected to the laundry treatment tub, and the air inlet of the air inlet end of the drying channel needs to communicate with the ventilation holes of the outer shell, in order to ensure the reliability of the connection between the air inlet end of the drying channel and the outer shell, it is usually necessary to set a flexible corrugated pipe or the like to connect the air inlet end and the housing to communicate the air inlet and the ventilation holes. For this purpose, it is necessary to set enough space between the outer shell and the laundry treatment tub to accommodate the flexible corrugated pipe so that the air flow can smoothly flow through the flexible corrugated pipe. In this way, the distance between the outer shell and the laundry treatment tub is relatively large, and the overall volume of the laundry treatment device is relatively large.

[0043] In the present embodiment, the air inlet 132 and the vent 1111 are connected by contacting the air inlet end 131 with the outer shell 111. For example, the air inlet end 131 abuts against the outer shell 111 to connect the air inlet 132 with the vent 1111. Therefore, compared with the related art in which the drying tunnel is connected to the outer shell through a flexible bellows, the arrangement of the flexible bellows is simplified and the manufacturing cost is reduced. At the same time, there is no need to leave enough space between the outer shell 111 and the clothing treatment barrel 120 to accommodate the flexible bellows, that is, the distance between the outer shell 111 and the clothing treatment barrel 120 can be as small as possible, so that when the volume of the clothing treatment barrel 120 remains unchanged, the design requirements of the three-dimensional molding equipment with a compact structure and a small size can be met, thereby improving the market competitiveness of the product.

[0044] The air inlet end 131 contacts the housing 111 so that the air inlet 132 communicates with the vent 1111. Alternatively, the air inlet end 131 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 111 so that the air inlet 132 communicates with the vent 1111. Alternatively, a sleeve is provided on the inner wall of the housing 111, the vent is located in the sleeve, and the air inlet end 131 is inserted or embedded in the sleeve so that the air inlet 132 communicates with the vent 1111. Specifically, the clothing processing device 100 further includes a base 112. The housing 111 can be pre-positioned with the base 112 by plugging, snapping, abutting, etc., so that the air inlet end 131 abuts against the housing 111 and communicates with the air inlet 1311 and the vent 1111. Then, the housing 111 and the base 112 are locked by bolts, etc., so that the reliability and stability of the contact between the housing 111 and the air inlet end 131 can be ensured.

[0045] Further, the drying tunnel 130 includes an air outlet 133 , and the air outlet 133 is in communication with the clothes processing chamber 121 , for example, the air outlet 133 is in communication with the clothes processing chamber 121 through a flexible tube.

[0046] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clothing processing barrel 120 includes a clothing loading port connected to the clothing processing chamber 121, and the clothing processing device 100 also includes a door seal 150 and a door body 160. The door seal 150 is connected to the clothing processing barrel 120 and is located at the clothing loading port. The door body 160 rotates relative to the clothing processing barrel 120 until it is sealed and connected to the door seal 150, and can close the clothing loading port. The door body 160 rotates relative to the clothing processing barrel 120 until it is separated from the door seal 150, and can open the clothing loading port.

[0047] The door seal 150 is provided with an air outlet connected to the clothing processing chamber 121. The air outlet end 133 of the drying channel 130 is connected to the air outlet of the door seal 150 through a flexible tube, so that the drying air flow in the drying channel 130 flows into the clothing processing chamber 121 through the air outlet end 133 and the air outlet of the door seal 150.

[0048] Further, the drying tunnel 130 extends along the front - rear direction of the laundry treating apparatus 100. The front - rear, left - right, top - bottom directions of the laundry treating apparatus 100 are as shown Figures 1 to 7 below. Since the laundry loading opening is usually arranged at the front of the laundry treating apparatus 100, the air outlet end 133 of the drying tunnel 130 is usually communicated with the air outlet on the door seal 150 located in front of the laundry treating apparatus 100. The air inlet end 131 of the drying tunnel 130 contacts the outer shell 111 behind the laundry treating apparatus 100, that is, the ventilation holes 1111 are usually arranged on the outer shell 111 behind the laundry treating apparatus 100. This can improve the aesthetic appearance of the laundry treating apparatus 100. And since various connecting pipelines and the like are usually arranged behind the laundry treating apparatus 100, it can ensure that there is a certain distance between the ventilation holes 1111 and the surrounding walls, thereby ensuring a good ventilation effect.

[0049] As shown Figure 2 below, in some possible embodiments provided by the present utility model, the housing assembly 110 further includes a base 112 and a support frame 113. The outer shell 111 and the support frame 113 are installed on the base 112. The support frame 113 is located between the outer shell 111 and the laundry treating tub 120 for supporting the laundry treating tub 120. The drying tunnel 130 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 111 and / or the support frame 113.

[0050] In this embodiment, the setting of the support frame 113 can realize the support of the laundry treating tub 120. It can be understood that the support frame 113 can also support other installed components. Since the outer shell 111 is arranged on the periphery of the support frame 113, the outer shell 111 plays a good protective role for the support frame 113, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the support frame 113 and improving the reliability of the laundry treating apparatus 100.

[0051] Further, the outer shell 111 and the support frame 113 can be separately assembled on the base 112. There can be a distance between the outer shell 111 and the support frame 113. The support frame 113 constitutes the carrier of the laundry treating apparatus 100. The outer shell 111 is the appearance surface of the product. In the case where the outer shell 111 is damaged, even under the condition that the outer shell 111 is completely cut around, it will not affect the support of the laundry treating tub 120 by the support frame 113, enabling the product to still operate independently, without loss of the performance and functions of the product, and having good practicability.

[0052] It can be understood that in some examples, the housing assembly 110 can also simplify the setting of the support frame 113, that is, the housing assembly 110 includes the base 112 and the outer shell 111, and the base 112 and the outer shell 111 simultaneously realize the support of the laundry treating tub 120, with the outer shell 111 being the appearance surface of the product.

[0053] Among them, the drying tunnel 130 can be fixedly connected to the outer shell 111, or the drying tunnel 130 can be fixedly connected to the support frame 113, or the drying tunnel 130 can be fixedly connected to both the outer shell 111 and the support frame 113. Thus, the requirements for different structures of the housing assembly 110 and different fixing methods of the drying tunnel 130 can be met.

[0054] In some possible embodiments provided by the present utility model, both ends of the drying tunnel 130 are fixedly connected to the front and rear side walls of the outer shell 111 respectively. Thus, the fixed connection between the drying tunnel 130 and the outer shell 111 is realized. Compared with the related art where the drying tunnel is fixed on the laundry treatment barrel, the possibility of the drying tunnel 130 shaking can be reduced, the influence of the shaking of the drying tunnel 130 on the drying fan in the drying tunnel 130 can be reduced, and further, the service life of the drying fan can be prolonged, and the working noise of the drying fan can be reduced. At the same time, the influence of the high temperature of the heater in the drying tunnel 130 on the reliability of the laundry treatment barrel 120 can be reduced, and the setting of the heat insulation member can be simplified, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the laundry treatment barrel 120 and reducing the manufacturing cost of the laundry treatment device 100.

[0055] It can be understood that in the laundry treatment device 100 of this embodiment, the housing assembly 110 can include the outer shell 111 and the base 112, or the housing assembly 110 includes the outer shell 111, the base 112 and the support frame 113. Both types of housing assemblies 110 can implement the solution of fixedly connecting both ends of the drying tunnel 130 to the opposite two side walls of the outer shell 111 respectively.

[0056] Furthermore, the drying tunnel 130 is detachably connected to the side wall of the outer shell 111 to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the drying tunnel 130 and the outer shell 111, which is convenient for maintenance and improves the maintenance efficiency. Specifically, both ends of the drying tunnel 130 can be detachably connected to the front and rear side walls of the outer shell 111 through at least one of a bolt structure, a clamping structure, a mortise and tenon structure, and a magnetic attraction structure.

[0057] Furthermore, by fixedly connecting both ends of the drying tunnel 130 to the front and rear side walls of the outer shell 111 respectively, that is, the part near the air outlet end 133 of the drying tunnel 130 is connected to the front wall of the outer shell 111, and the part near the air inlet end 131 of the drying tunnel 130 is connected to the rear wall of the outer shell 111, the air outlet end 133 of the drying tunnel 130 can be smoothly connected to the air outlet of the door seal 150 in front of the laundry treatment device 100, and the air inlet 1311 of the air inlet end 131 of the drying tunnel 130 is communicated with the ventilation hole 1111 on the outer shell 111 at the rear of the laundry treatment device 100.

[0058] Such as Figure 7As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present utility model, both ends of the drying tunnel 130 are fixedly connected to the front and rear brackets of the support frame 113 respectively. Thus, the fixed connection between the drying tunnel 130 and the support frame 113 is achieved. Compared with the related art where the drying tunnel is fixed on the laundry treatment tub 120, the possibility of the drying tunnel 130 shaking can be reduced, the influence of the shaking of the drying tunnel 130 on the drying fan in the drying tunnel 130 can be reduced, and thus the service life of the drying fan can be increased, and the working noise of the drying fan can be reduced. At the same time, the influence of the high temperature of the heater in the drying tunnel 130 on the reliability of the laundry treatment tub 120 can be reduced, the setting of the heat insulation member can be simplified, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the laundry treatment tub 120, and the manufacturing cost of the laundry treatment device 100 can be reduced.

[0059] Furthermore, the drying tunnel 130 is detachably connected to the brackets of the support frame 113 to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the drying tunnel 130 and the support frame 113, which is convenient for maintenance and improves the maintenance efficiency. Specifically, both ends of the drying tunnel 130 can be detachably connected to the front and rear brackets of the support frame 113 by at least one of a bolt structure, a clamping structure, a mortise and tenon structure, and a magnetic attraction structure.

[0060] Furthermore, by fixedly connecting both ends of the drying tunnel 130 to the front and rear brackets of the support frame 113 respectively, that is, the part near the air outlet end 133 of the drying tunnel 130 is connected to the front frame of the support frame 113, and the part near the air inlet end 131 of the drying tunnel 130 is connected to the rear frame of the support frame 113, the air outlet end 133 of the drying tunnel 130 can be smoothly connected to the air outlet of the door seal 150 in front of the laundry treatment device 100, and the air inlet 1311 of the air inlet end 131 of the drying tunnel 130 is communicated with the ventilation hole 1111 on the outer shell 111 at the rear of the laundry treatment device 100.

[0061] As Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present utility model, the laundry treatment device 100 further includes: a fixing frame 140, the drying tunnel 130 is installed on the fixing frame 140, and the fixing frame 140 is connected to the outer shell 111 and / or the support frame 113.

[0062] Among them, the setting of the fixing frame 140 can play a good supporting role for the drying channel 130. At the same time, the structure of the fixing frame 140 is relatively simple compared to the drying channel 130. The fixing frame 140 can be disassembled and assembled with the outer shell 111 and / or the support frame 113 quickly and conveniently, and the drying channel 130 can be disassembled and assembled with the fixing frame 140 quickly and conveniently. Compared with the complex structure of the drying channel 130 directly connected to the outer shell 111 and / or the support frame 113, it can facilitate the disassembly and assembly operation. In addition, the fixing frame 140 can strengthen the frame structure strength, improve the frame load strength, and thus enhance the overall product safety.

[0063] Among them, the fixing frame 140 can be fixedly connected to the outer shell 111, or the fixing frame 140 can be fixedly connected to the support frame 113, or the fixing frame 140 can be fixedly connected to the outer shell 111 and the support frame 113 to meet the requirements of different structures of the fixing frame 140 and different connection methods between the drying channel 130 and the housing assembly 110.

[0064] Furthermore, the drying channel 130 can be detachably connected to the fixing frame 140 in a detachable manner, and the fixing frame 140 can be detachably connected to the outer shell 111 and / or the support frame 113 in a detachable manner. Specifically, the detachable connection between components can be realized by at least one of a bolt structure, a clamping structure, a mortise and tenon structure, and a magnetic attraction structure.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the drying channel 130 needs to be repaired, the drying channel 130 can be disassembled and separated from the fixing frame 140, and there is no need to disassemble and separate the fixing frame 140 from the outer shell 111 and / or the support frame 113; when the outer shell 111 and / or the support frame need to be repaired, the fixing frame 140 can be disassembled and separated from the outer shell 111 and / or the support frame 113, and there is no need to disassemble and separate the drying channel 130 from the fixing frame 140. Thus, the disassembly and assembly times of the drying channel 130 and the fixing frame 140, and the disassembly and assembly times of the outer shell 111 and / or the support frame 113 and the fixing frame 140 can be minimized, the influence of the disassembly and assembly operation on the drying channel 130, the outer shell 111, and the support frame 113 can be reduced, the service life of the drying channel 130, the outer shell 111, and the support frame 113 can be improved, and thus the reliability of the clothing treatment device 100 can be improved.

[0066] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present utility model, both ends of the fixing frame 140 are connected to two opposite brackets of the support frame 113. For example, both ends of the fixing frame 140 are connected to the front and rear brackets of the support frame 113, or both ends of the fixing frame 140 are connected to the left and right brackets of the support frame 113. It can be understood that in this case, the fixing frame 140 can be linear.

[0067] Among them, the fixing frame 140 is arranged crosswise or oppositely to the drying channel 130. Specifically, when both ends of the fixing frame 140 are connected to the front and rear brackets of the support frame 113, the drying channel 130 and the fixing frame 140 can be arranged oppositely, so that the fixing frame 140 can play a good supporting role for the drying channel 130, realizing uniform support for the drying channel 130. At the same time, there is a large avoidance space between the laundry treatment tub 120 and the outer shell 111 to realize the layout of other components. Moreover, with this setting, the air outlet end 133 of the drying channel 130 can be smoothly connected to the air outlet of the door seal 150 in front of the laundry treatment device 100, and the air inlet 1311 of the air inlet end 131 of the drying channel 130 is communicated with the ventilation hole 1111 on the outer shell 111 behind the laundry treatment device 100.

[0068] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, when both ends of the fixing frame 140 are connected to the left and right brackets of the support frame 113, the drying channel 130 and the fixing frame 140 can be arranged crosswise to ensure that the air outlet end 133 of the drying channel 130 can be smoothly connected to the air outlet of the door seal 150 in front of the laundry treatment device 100, and the air inlet 1311 of the air inlet end 131 of the drying channel 130 is communicated with the ventilation hole 1111 on the outer shell 111 behind the laundry treatment device 100. At the same time, the fixing frame 140 can play a good supporting role for the drying channel 130. Among them, the drying channel 130 and the fixing frame 140 can be arranged in an inclined crosswise manner or a vertical crosswise manner. Among them, Figure 4 and Figure 5 the fixing frame 140 and the drying channel 130 in

[0069] As Figure 6 shown, in some possible implementation embodiments provided by the present utility model, both ends of the fixing frame 140 are connected to two adjacent brackets of the support frame 113, such as both ends of the fixing frame 140 are connected to the front frame and the side frame of the support frame 113; or, both ends of the fixing frame 140 are connected to the rear frame and the side frame of the support frame 113, where the side frame can be the left frame or the right frame of the support frame 113.

[0070] Among them, the fixing frame 140 can be straight or the fixing frame 140 can be provided with a bending structure, thereby meeting the requirements of different structures of the fixing frame 140.

[0071] Specifically, when the fixing frame 140 is linear, since the drying channel 130 extends along the front-back direction of the clothing treatment device 100, the fixing frame 140 and the drying channel 130 are arranged in an inclined and intersecting manner, that is, the linear fixing frame 140 is inclinedly arranged on two adjacent brackets of the support frame 113. When the fixing frame 140 is of a bent structure, since the drying channel 130 extends along the front-back direction of the clothing treatment device 100, a part of the fixing frame 140 can be arranged opposite to the drying channel 130, that is, a part of the fixing frame 140 extends along the front-back direction of the clothing treatment device 100 to ensure that the fixing bracket plays a good supporting role for the drying channel 130, and the other part of the fixing frame 140 and the side frame of the support frame 113 can be arranged vertically or inclinedly.

[0072] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, both ends of the fixing frame 140 are respectively connected to the front frame and the right frame of the support frame 113. The fixing frame 140 is of a bent structure. A part of the fixing frame 140 is arranged vertically with respect to the front frame, and the other part of the fixing frame is arranged vertically with respect to the right frame, so that a part of the fixing frame 140 extends along the front-back direction of the clothing treatment device 100 and is opposite to the drying channel 130 extending along the front-back direction of the clothing treatment device 100. Thus, a good supporting role is played for the drying channel 130, ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection between the drying channel 130 and the fixing frame 140.

[0073] In some possible embodiments provided by the present utility model, at least part of the fixing frame 140 is connected to the outer shell 111.

[0074] That is to say, for the embodiment in which the housing assembly 110 includes the support frame 113, the fixing frame 140 can be integrally fixed on the outer shell 111, or part of the fixing frame 140 can be fixed on the outer shell 111. Specifically, both ends of the fixing frame 140 can be respectively fixed on the outer shell 111, and the drying channel 130 is installed on the fixing frame 140 to realize the fixed connection between the drying channel 130 and the outer shell 111. Or, one end of the fixing frame 140 can be connected to the outer shell 111, the other end of the fixing frame 140 is connected to the support frame 113, and the drying channel 130 is installed on the fixing frame 140, so that the drying channel 130 is connected to the outer shell 111 and the support frame 113 through the fixing frame 140.

[0075] Among them, the fixing frame 140 can be linear or provided with a bent structure. It can be understood that the linear fixing frame 140 can extend along the opposite two side wall directions of the outer shell 111, or can extend along the adjacent two side walls of the outer shell 111. The fixing frame 140 provided with a bent structure can extend along the adjacent two side wall directions of the outer shell 111.

[0076] In some possible embodiments provided by the present utility model, when the housing assembly 110 includes the outer shell 111 and the base 112 and does not include the support frame 113, the laundry treatment device 100 may further include a fixing frame 140. The drying channel 130 is installed on the fixing frame 140, and the fixing frame 140 is connected to the outer shell 111, so that the drying channel 130 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 111 through the fixing frame 140.

[0077] Among them, the setting of the fixing frame 140 can play a good supporting role for the drying channel 130. At the same time, the structure of the fixing frame 140 is relatively simple compared with the drying channel 130. The fixing frame 140 can be disassembled and assembled with the outer shell 111 quickly and conveniently, and the drying channel 130 can be disassembled and assembled with the fixing frame 140 quickly and conveniently. Compared with the direct connection between the complex drying channel 130 structure and the outer shell 111, it can facilitate the disassembly and assembly operation.

[0078] Furthermore, the drying channel 130 can be detachably connected to the fixing frame 140 in a detachable manner, and the fixing frame 140 can be detachably connected to the outer shell 111 in a detachable manner. Specifically, the detachable connection between components can be realized by at least one of a bolt structure, a clamping structure, a tenon and mortise structure, and a magnetic attraction structure.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the drying channel 130 needs to be repaired, the drying channel 130 can be disassembled and separated from the fixing frame 140, and there is no need to disassemble and separate the fixing frame 140 from the outer shell 111; when the outer shell 111 needs to be repaired, the fixing frame 140 can be disassembled and separated from the outer shell 111, and there is no need to disassemble and separate the drying channel 130 from the fixing frame 140. Furthermore, the disassembly and assembly times of the drying channel 130 and the fixing frame 140, and the disassembly and assembly times of the outer shell 111 and the fixing frame 140 can be minimized, the influence of the disassembly and assembly operation on the drying channel 130 and the outer shell 111 can be reduced, the service life of the drying channel 130 and the outer shell 111 can be improved, and thus the reliability of the laundry treatment device 100 can be improved.

[0080] In the above embodiment, both ends of the fixing frame 140 are connected to the opposite two side walls of the outer shell 111. For example, both ends of the fixing frame 140 are connected to the front and rear two side walls of the outer shell 111, or both ends of the fixing frame 140 are connected to the left and right two side walls of the outer shell 111. It can be understood that in this case, the fixing frame 140 can be linear.

[0081] Among them, the fixing bracket 140 is arranged crosswise or oppositely to the drying channel 130. Specifically, when both ends of the fixing bracket 140 are connected to the front and rear side walls of the outer shell 111, the drying channel 130 and the fixing bracket 140 can be arranged oppositely, so that the fixing bracket 140 can play a good supporting role for the drying channel 130, realizing uniform support for the drying channel 130. At the same time, there is a large avoidance space between the laundry treatment tub 120 and the outer shell 111 to realize the layout of other components. Moreover, with this setting, the air outlet end 133 of the drying channel 130 can be smoothly connected to the air outlet of the door seal 150 in front of the laundry treatment device 100, and the air inlet 1311 of the air inlet end 131 of the drying channel 130 communicates with the ventilation hole 1111 on the outer shell 111 behind the laundry treatment device 100.

[0082] When both ends of the fixing bracket 140 are connected to the left and right side walls of the outer shell 111, the drying channel 130 and the fixing bracket 140 can be arranged crosswise to ensure that the air outlet end 133 of the drying channel 130 can be smoothly connected to the air outlet of the door seal 150 in front of the laundry treatment device 100, and the air inlet 1311 of the air inlet end 131 of the drying channel 130 communicates with the ventilation hole 1111 on the outer shell 111 behind the laundry treatment device 100. At the same time, the fixing bracket 140 can play a good supporting role for the drying channel 130. Among them, the drying channel 130 and the fixing bracket 140 can be arranged crosswise in an inclined manner or crosswise vertically.

[0083] In some possible embodiments provided by the present utility model, both ends of the fixing bracket 140 are connected to two adjacent side walls of the outer shell 111, such as both ends of the fixing bracket 140 are connected to the front wall and the left wall, the front wall and the right wall, the rear wall and the left wall, or the rear wall and the right wall of the outer shell 111.

[0084] Among them, the fixing bracket 140 can be linear or the fixing bracket 140 can be provided with a bending structure, thereby meeting the requirements of different structures of the fixing bracket 140.

[0085] Specifically, when the fixing bracket 140 is linear, since the drying channel 130 extends along the front-rear direction of the laundry treatment device 100, the fixing bracket 140 and the drying channel 130 are arranged crosswise in an inclined manner. When the fixing bracket 140 has a bending structure, since the drying channel 130 extends along the front-rear direction of the laundry treatment device 100, part of the fixing bracket 140 can be arranged oppositely to the drying channel 130, that is, part of the fixing bracket 140 extends along the front-rear direction of the laundry treatment device 100 to ensure that the fixing bracket plays a good supporting role for the drying channel 130.

Or, as Figure 5 shown, the drying tunnel 130 is located on the side of the fixing frame 140 facing the laundry treatment tub 120, that is, the drying tunnel 130 can be located between the fixing frame 140 and the laundry treatment tub 120, and the drying tunnel 130 is located below the fixing frame 140. Thus, the relative position of the drying tunnel 130 and the fixing frame 140 can be reasonably set according to the specific structure between the laundry treatment tub 120 and the outer shell 111 in the laundry treatment device 100.
