Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clothing care equipment, and particularly relates to a clothing care machine. Background Art

[0002] A clothing care machine is a clothing processing device that is driven by a compressor to remove wrinkles and odors from clothes in a closed cavity and has one or several functions such as sterilization, mite removal, allergen removal, and drying.

[0003] At present, the clothing care machines on the market generally only have an integral chamber. Although the large capacity of the chamber can accommodate more clothes at one time, the feedback from users' actual experience does not meet the expectations. Under home conditions, the clothes processed at one time are more often distinguished not only by quantity, but also by different categories or functions. Due to different fabric properties of different categories of clothes, the same set of care processes cannot be used for treatment, which means that they cannot be put into the clothing care machine for treatment at one time. In addition, for clothes with different functions, customers also need to distinguish the treatment. For example, close-fitting clothes and coats may need to be treated separately. Due to similar needs, it is difficult to simultaneously process a batch of clothes through one chamber. Therefore, even though the existing clothing processing equipment has a large-capacity processing chamber, the chamber space is difficult to be effectively utilized. Obviously, a single chamber is also difficult to meet the above-mentioned diverse and personalized customer needs, resulting in customers being difficult to put all the clothes into the machine for treatment at one time and still having to spend extra energy. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The existing clothing care machines only have an integral clothing processing chamber, which cannot meet the need for simultaneous processing of clothes with different categories and functions during home use, resulting in the user experience not meeting the expectations.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0029] The following combines the drawings and specific embodiments to detail the type of this patent. In this specification, the dimensions of the drawings do not represent the actual size ratio. The drawings are only used to reflect the relative positional relationship and connection relationship between components. Components with the same name or the same reference numeral represent similar or the same structures, and are for illustrative purposes only.

[0030] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the comparison between the clothing care machine of the present application and the prior art. Figure 1Sub - figure (a) shows the prior art. In the prior - art clothing care device, only a single undivided treatment chamber 1 is provided. During use, all clothes are placed in the treatment chamber 1 without distinction. As described in the background art, due to the single chamber, although a large number of clothes can be accommodated, the differentiated treatment of clothes cannot be achieved, thus failing to meet the needs of users' home life.

[0031] Figure 1 Sub - figure (b) shows the structural schematic diagram of the clothing care machine of the present application. In order to meet the user's need to process different - requirement clothes simultaneously, the clothing care machine includes a chamber main body and at least one compartment integrally connected to the chamber main body. In the existing treatment chamber 1, a plurality of (at least two) different compartments 11 are partitioned by a partition 12, and the environments between the compartments are independent during operation. Preferably, the foaming space in the chamber main body is connected to the foaming space in the partition to optimize the heat - preservation effect of the compartment 11, reduce heat dissipation, and improve the accuracy of temperature control in the compartment 11. Another reason for applying the foaming material for the partition 12 is to ensure the heat - insulation effect between adjacent compartments 11, so as to facilitate the independent environmental control of the compartment 11.

[0032] During application, the customer can hang different clothes in different compartments 11 for treatment, which preferably solves the problem of simultaneously treating clothes that are not suitable for combined treatment. In order to achieve separate control of the compartments 11, environmental sensors 19 for detecting the internal environmental conditions of the compartments 11 can be respectively provided in the respective compartments 11. The environmental sensors 19 are generally used to detect the temperature and / or humidity in the compartment 11, that is, the environmental sensors can include temperature sensors, humidity sensors, or temperature - humidity sensors. Through the feedback of the environmental sensors 19, the system can control each compartment 11 to work under corresponding set conditions respectively, realizing precise control of the temperature and humidity in each compartment 11.

[0033] Figure 2Schematic layout diagram of the side view of a laundry treatment device. Generally, the compartment 11 is located in the upper layer of the laundry treatment device, and the part below the compartment 11 in the laundry treatment device is the equipment room 13. In order to achieve environmental control in the compartment 11, especially the supply of hot air, a complete heat pump system is included in the equipment room 13. The heat pump system consists of at least a compressor 15, a condenser 16, and an evaporator 17. The heat pump system has a heat pump air outlet 111 and a heat pump air inlet 112. The gas flow direction is to enter the heat pump system from the heat pump air inlet 112, and after being processed in the heat pump system, it is discharged from the heat pump air outlet 111. In the heat pump system, the condenser 16 is connected to the heat pump air outlet 111, the evaporator 17 is connected to the heat pump air inlet 112, and the condenser 16 and the evaporator 17 are connected to each other, which is the heating circuit. An additional heat exchange circuit independent of the heating circuit is formed between the evaporator 17, the condenser 16, and the compressor 15, and the heat exchange medium circulates between the condenser 16 and the evaporator 17 in this circuit under the drive of the compressor.

[0034] As Figure 3 shown, each compartment 11 forms at least its own compartment air inlet 110. Optionally, it can also form its own independent compartment air outlet 116. The heat pump air outlet 111 of the aforementioned heat pump system is connected to each compartment air inlet 110 to achieve continuous supply of hot air into the compartment 11, thereby drying the clothes in the compartment 11. Preferably, the heat pump air inlet 112 of the heat pump system can also be connected to each compartment air outlet 116. At this time, a closed-loop heating circuit can be formed between the heat pump system and each compartment. During operation, the gas discharged from the compartment is cooled and dried in the evaporator 17, and then reheated in the condenser 16 and input into the compartment 11.

[0035] In order to achieve independent regulation of the compartment 11, an electric damper 114 is provided at each compartment air inlet 110 of the laundry care machine to control the opening degree of the compartment air inlet 110, thereby controlling the flow rate of the heating gas entering each compartment 11. The electric damper 114 can also merely control the opening and closing of the compartment air inlet 110. Usually, the electric damper 114 is electrically connected to the controller of the device. Based on the instructions of the controller, the electric damper 114 performs corresponding operations to change the flow state of the compartment air inlet 110. The system can control the electric damper 114 based on a preset or user-set execution of a preset program. Preferably, an environmental sensor 19 can be arranged in each compartment 11 to detect the environmental state in each compartment 11, such as the temperature and humidity states. The controller can perform targeted control on the electric damper 114 at the corresponding compartment air inlet 110 of the compartment 11 based on the above environmental state of the compartment 11 so that the environmental state meets the expectations. The compartment air inlet 110 and the compartment air outlet 116 are preferably arranged at the bottom of the compartment 11 to simplify the system layout.

[0036] To achieve steam treatment, the heat pump system further includes a water tank 14 and a steam generator 18 disposed in the equipment room 13. The steam generator 18 is used to generate and supply steam to the compartment 11. By delivering steam to the compartment 11, the clothes in the compartment 11 can be ironed. The steam generator 18 has a water suction pipeline connected to the water tank 14 and also has a steam pipeline.

[0037] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the steam pipeline of the steam generator 18 is communicated with the heat pump air outlet (111) to realize the sharing of the steam pipeline and the hot air pipeline of the heat pump system at the heat pump air outlet 111. The hot air pipeline and the steam pipeline are both communicated with the compartment air inlets 110 of each compartment 11 through the heat pump air outlet 111. The electric dampers 14 at each compartment air inlet 110 can control the on-off of each compartment 11 with the hot air pipeline and the steam pipeline, so as to realize the independent control of the temperature in each compartment 11.

[0038] In another embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, a steam port 113 is opened on each compartment 11, and the steam pipeline is communicated to each steam port 113 to supply steam to the compartment 11. Preferably, in order to realize the independent control of the steam supply in different compartments 11, a steam valve 115 is provided on the steam pipeline communicated to each steam port 113. The hot air pipeline is communicated with the inside of the compartment 11 through the heat pump air outlet 111 and the compartment air inlets 110 of each compartment 11. The on-off of each compartment and the hot air pipeline is controlled by the electric damper 14. The steam pipeline is directly communicated with the inside of the compartment through the steam port 113 on each compartment 11. The on-off of each compartment 11 and the steam pipeline is controlled by the steam valve 115 on each steam pipeline, so as to realize the independent control of the temperature in each compartment 11. Among them, the steam port 113 can be provided on the top surface or the side surface of the compartment 11.

[0039] The environmental control of different compartments can also be independently set through the control interface of the device, which means that for different compartments, the processing environment therein can be flexibly set according to needs. When the processing requirements are the same and the clothes are only separated because of the needs of the customers, different compartments can be set to the same environmental conditions. When the processing requirements of the clothes are different, different compartments can be set to different environmental conditions to adapt to different clothes, which is especially applicable to the situation where there are many clothes worn in spring and winter seasons and the variety span is large. The above settings realize the different control of the temperature and humidity of multiple compartments, so as to realize the care of multiple different types of clothes at the same time. In the embodiment, it further includes a human sensing module connected to the main control system. After the human sensing module senses the human body signal, it sends it to the main control system, and the main control system controls the water storage module, the heat pump module, and the drying module after receiving the human body signal. The control system interacts with the user through the interaction interface provided on the outer side of the door panel.
