[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other

[0033] A laundry treatment device, such as a dryer, a washer-dryer, or a garment care cabinet, etc., includes an equipment body and a heat pump system. A pipeline component is provided inside the equipment body, and the evaporator of the heat pump system is arranged inside the pipeline component so that the air flow inside the pipeline component exchanges heat with the evaporator when passing through the evaporator. When the laundry treatment device dries clothes, lint on the clothes will enter the pipeline component with the air flow and adhere to the evaporator. Currently, a water spraying device is mainly arranged at the evaporator to spray the lint to reduce lint accumulation and bacterial growth

[0034] However, the water spraying device is restricted by the space of the pipeline component and the water pressure, and the spraying of the evaporator is not thorough, resulting in poor lint removal effect on the evaporator

[0035] In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, an embodiment of the present application provides an evaporator installation structure and a laundry treatment device. The evaporator installation structure is provided with an installation cavity in a pipe member of the device. The evaporator is detachably connected to the installation cavity through an opening of the installation cavity, and a pipe cover is provided to seal the opening. By setting the evaporator installation structure in this way, when the evaporator needs to be cleaned, the evaporator can be completely taken out of the device, and the evaporator can be comprehensively and thoroughly cleaned, making the disassembly, assembly and cleaning operations of the evaporator convenient and fast, and ensuring good cleaning effect of lint on the evaporator.

[0036] The following will describe the content of the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings, so that those skilled in the art can understand the content of the present utility model more clearly and in detail.

[0037] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an evaporator installation structure for a device with a heat pump system. The evaporator installation structure includes a pipe member 100, an evaporator 200, a pipe cover 300, and a first connection assembly 220. The pipe member 100 is configured to be disposed in the device. An installation cavity 110 is provided in the pipe member 100. Part of the pipeline of the heat pump system is located in the installation cavity 110. An opening 120 communicating with the installation cavity 110 is provided on one side of the pipe member 100. The pipe cover 300 is disposed on the opening 120 and is detachably connected to the opening 120;

[0038] The evaporator 200 is disposed in the installation cavity 110 through the opening 120. The first connection assembly 220 is provided on the evaporator 200, and the first connection assembly 220 is detachably connected to the pipeline of the heat pump system.

[0039] It can be understood that the device with a heat pump system can be a laundry treatment device, such as a dryer, a washing and drying integrated machine or a clothing care cabinet, or can also be a device such as an air conditioner or a water heater.

[0040] The evaporator installation structure includes a pipe member 100, an evaporator 200 and a pipe cover 300 disposed in a device with a heat pump system. An installation cavity 110 for installing the evaporator 200 is provided in the pipe member 100. An opening 120 communicating with the installation cavity 110 is provided on one side of the pipe member 100, and a window corresponding to the opening 120 is provided on the housing of the device body 400, so that the installation cavity 110 communicates with the outside through the opening 120 and the window.

[0041] The evaporator 200 can be detachably connected to the installation cavity 110 through the opening 120, and a pipe cover 300 is also provided. The pipe cover 300 is adapted to the opening 120 and is detachably connected to the opening 120. When lint needs to be cleaned on the surface of the evaporator 200, the pipe cover 300 can be removed, so that the connection between the first connection assembly 220 on the evaporator 200 and the pipeline of the heat pump system is disconnected, and the evaporator 200 can be taken out from the installation cavity 110 through the opening 120, and the lint on the surface of the evaporator 200 can be directly rinsed and cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, the evaporator 200 can be reinstalled into the installation cavity 110 through the opening 120, the connection assembly 220 can be connected to the pipeline of the heat pump system, and then the pipe cover 300 can be installed on the opening 120.

[0042] Therefore, the evaporator installation structure provided by the embodiment of the present application sets the installation cavity 110 in the pipeline component 100 of the device, and opens an opening 120 on one side of the installation cavity 110, so that the evaporator 200 can be detachably connected to the installation cavity 110 through the opening 120, and a pipe cover 300 is set to cover the opening 120, so that the evaporator 200 is connected to the pipeline of the heat pump system through the first connection assembly 220. By setting the evaporator installation structure in this way, when the evaporator 200 needs to be cleaned, the evaporator 200 can be completely taken out of the device, and the evaporator 200 can be comprehensively and thoroughly cleaned, making the disassembly, installation and cleaning operations of the evaporator 200 convenient and fast, and ensuring good lint cleaning effect of the evaporator 200.

[0043] It should be noted that the installation cavity 110 is divided into two parts, a first sub-cavity 111 and a second sub-cavity 112. The first sub-cavity 111 and the opening 120 are respectively located on opposite sides of the second sub-cavity 112. The first sub-cavity 111 is used to accommodate part of the pipe cover 300, and the second sub-cavity 112 is used to accommodate the evaporator 200, realizing a sub-cavity design, optimizing the spatial distribution of the installation cavity 110, and making the evaporator installation structure relatively compact.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The evaporator installation structure provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes a second connection assembly 230. The second connection assembly 230 is used to be arranged on the pipeline, and the second connection assembly 230 is detachably connected to the first connection assembly 220. By setting it in this way, the first connection assembly 220 is connected to the pipeline of the heat pump system through the second connection assembly 230, which can make the connection between the evaporator 200 and the pipeline of the heat pump system more convenient, reliable and easy to operate.

[0045] A first connection assembly 220 is provided on the evaporator body 210, and a second connection assembly 230 is provided on the pipeline of the heat pump system, so that the first connection assembly 220 and the second connection assembly 230 are detachably connected. When the evaporator 200 is operating normally, the first connection assembly 220 and the second connection assembly 230 can be kept connected, ensuring the stable and reliable connection between the evaporator 200 and the heat pump system, and ensuring the stable and reliable connection between the evaporator 200 and the second sub-chamber 112. When it is necessary to disassemble the evaporator body 210, the first connection assembly 220 and the second connection assembly 230 can be disconnected from each other, making the disassembly of the evaporator 200 convenient and fast. Avoid setting disassembly and assembly structures on the evaporator body 210, making the structure of the evaporator body 210 simple and compact.

[0046] Further, referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first connection assembly 220 includes two first quick-release parts 222, and the second connection assembly 230 includes two second quick-release parts 232;

[0047] The evaporator 200 includes an evaporator body 210, a refrigerant inlet 211 and a refrigerant outlet 212 provided on the evaporator body 210. The two first quick-release parts 222 are respectively connected to the refrigerant inlet 211 and the refrigerant outlet 212, and the two second quick-release parts 232 are respectively connected to the outlet and inlet of the pipeline. The first quick-release part 222 and the second quick-release part 232 are detachably connected correspondingly.

[0048] It can be understood that both the first quick-release part 222 and the second quick-release part 232 can be quick-release nuts. By screwing the quick-release nuts, the connection or separation between the evaporator and the pipeline of the heat pump system can be realized. The required operating space is small, and the screwing operation can be realized without the help of tools, making the detachable connection operation between the evaporator and the pipeline of the heat pump system convenient and fast.

[0049] In a specific implementation, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the first connection assembly 220 further includes two first stop valves 221, and the second connection assembly 230 further includes two second stop valves 231;

[0050] The two first stop valves 221 are respectively arranged on the refrigerant inlet 211 and the refrigerant outlet 212, and the two first stop valves 221 are respectively communicated with the refrigerant inlet 211 and the refrigerant outlet 212. The two first quick-release parts 222 are respectively arranged on the first stop valves 221;

[0051] The two second stop valves 231 are respectively arranged on the outlet and inlet of the pipeline, and the two second stop valves 231 are respectively communicated with the outlet and inlet of the pipeline. The two second quick-release parts 232 are respectively arranged on the two second stop valves 231.

[0052] By setting up a connection assembly composed of a stop valve and a quick-release part, the installation and fixation of the evaporator 200 can be achieved, and the on-off control of the pipeline between the evaporator 200 and the heat pump system can be realized, avoiding refrigerant leakage, making the structure of the evaporator installation structure simple and compact, and easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0053] Two first stop valves 221 are fixedly installed on the evaporator body 210 through fasteners, such as bolts, and one end valve ports of the two first stop valves 221 are respectively communicated with the refrigerant inlet 211 and the refrigerant outlet 212 on the evaporator body 210. In this way, by controlling the opening and closing of the first stop valve 221, the on-off control of the refrigerant entering and leaving the evaporator body 210 can be realized. A first quick-release part 222 is installed on the other valve port of the two first stop valves 221. A connecting pipe 240 is connected to the first quick-release part 222. The other end of the connecting pipe 240 away from the first quick-release part 222 is connected to a second quick-release part 232. Both the first quick-release part 222 and the second quick-release part 232 can be quick-release nuts. The second quick-release part 232 is arranged on the second stop valve 231. Similarly, the two second stop valves 231 are respectively connected to the pipeline of the heat pump system through fasteners. Specifically, the second stop valve 231 corresponding to the refrigerant inlet 211 is connected to the pipeline of the throttling device of the heat pump system, and the second stop valve 231 corresponding to the refrigerant outlet 212 is connected to the compressor return pipe of the heat pump system. By controlling the opening and closing of the second stop valve 231, the on-off control of the refrigerant entering and leaving the heat pump system can be realized.

[0054] In this way, when the evaporator 200 needs to be disassembled, the two first stop valves 221 can be closed first, and then the two second stop valves 231 can be closed to disconnect the refrigerant flow circuit at the evaporator 200. Then, the first quick-release part 222 and the second quick-release part 232 are screwed to disconnect the connection between the evaporator 200 and the pipeline of the heat pump system and avoid refrigerant leakage. When the evaporator 200 needs to be reinstalled after being cleaned, the above operations can be carried out in reverse. Exemplarily, the closing operations of the first stop valve 221 and the second stop valve 231 are as follows: unscrew the valve top cap on the stop valve, and then tighten the pressing screw inside the stop valve to close the stop valve.

[0055] In some embodiments, a guiding part is provided on the installation cavity 110, and a sliding part is provided on the evaporator 200. The sliding part is slidably connected to the guiding part.

[0056] With such a setting, the evaporator body 210 is slidably connected to the first sub-cavity 111 and the second sub-cavity 112, realizing the quick disassembly and assembly of the evaporator 200, and facilitating the thorough cleaning of the lint on the surface of the evaporator 200 after the evaporator body 210 is removed.

[0057] Specifically, one of the guiding part and the sliding part is a slide rail, and the other of the guiding part and the sliding part is a chute adapted to the slide rail.

[0058] With such a setting, the evaporator body 210 can slide along the first sub-cavity 111 and the second sub-cavity 112 under the cooperation of the chute and the slide rail, making the sliding of the evaporator 200 in the installation cavity 110 smoother and more labor-saving, and improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the evaporator 200.

[0059] And in some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 As shown, a handle 213 is provided on one side of the evaporator 200 facing the first sub-cavity 111. With such a setting, the handle 213 can provide a force application point, and when disassembling and assembling the evaporator 200, it is convenient to apply force by holding the handle 213, simplifying the disassembly and assembly of the evaporator 200.

[0060] In addition, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pipe cover 300 includes a cover body 310 and a ventilation member 320 provided on the cover body 310. The cover body 310 is detachably connected to the opening 120, and the ventilation member 320 is located in the installation cavity 110 and communicates with the installation cavity 110.

[0061] With such a setting, the cover body 310 of the pipe cover 300 can be used to seal the opening 120, preventing foreign objects from entering the pipe member 100 through the opening 120, protecting the pipe member 100 and its internal components, reducing the possibility of failures, and making the ventilation member 320 located in the first sub-cavity 111 and communicating with the first sub-cavity 111, and also avoiding the ventilation member 320 occupying too much space in the first sub-cavity 111 and thus affecting the air flow in the pipe member 100, ensuring the stability and reliability of the evaporator installation structure.

[0062] Specifically, the structure of the ventilation member 320 can be determined according to the air flow path of the pipe member 100 and the structure of the first sub-cavity 111. This application does not limit this, and the ventilation member 320 can occupy a part of the space of the first sub-cavity 111, or on the premise of not affecting the air circulation in the first sub-cavity 111, make the shell of the ventilation member 320 completely fit with the inner wall of the first sub-cavity 111, and use the ventilation member 320 to realize the air circulation in the first sub-cavity 111. This application does not limit this.

[0063] And a buckle 340 is further provided on the cover body 310 to facilitate applying force through the buckle 340 to separate the cover body 310 from the opening 120.

[0064] Among them, referring to Figures 1 to 3As shown, the pipe cover 300 also includes at least two locking members 330, which are spaced apart on the circumferential side of the cover body 310, and the locking members 330 are rotatably connected to the cover body 310. A locking groove 121 corresponding to the locking member 330 is provided on the opening 120, and the locking member 330 is engaged with or disengaged from the locking groove 121 by rotation.

[0065] By providing a rotating locking piece 330 to cooperate with the locking groove 121 on the opening 120, a detachable connection between the cover body 310 and the opening 120 is achieved, which is convenient for ensuring the stability of the connection between the cover body 310 and the opening 120 and also convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the cover body 310 relative to the opening 120.

[0066] In a specific implementation, at least one locking member 330 is disposed around the cover body 310 to improve the reliability of the connection between the cover body 310 and the opening 120. The locking member 330 includes a locking portion and an operating portion disposed on opposite sides of the rotating shaft. By moving the operating portion, the operating portion can drive the locking portion to rotate around the rotating shaft, so that the locking portion is engaged with or disengaged from the locking groove 121. The structure is relatively simple and the operation is easy.

[0067] In addition, in some embodiments, the duct cover 300 further includes a filter element, which is disposed on the ventilation element 320 , and an angle is formed between the filter element and the extension direction of the duct element 100 .

[0068] By setting a filter element that has an angle with the extension direction of the pipe element 100, that is, setting a filter element on the flow path of the airflow, the filter element can be specifically perpendicular to the flow direction of the airflow, so that the airflow can first contact with the filter element before flowing to the evaporator 200, and then be filtered by the filter element once, thereby reducing the lint content in the airflow flowing to the evaporator 200, and thereby reducing the lint adhesion on the surface of the evaporator 200 to a certain extent, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator 200.

[0069] When cleaning the evaporator 200 for wire scraps later, the filter element on the duct cover 300 can be removed and cleaned at the same time.

[0070] The filter element may be a conventional filter screen or filter element, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0071] An embodiment of the present application further provides a clothing processing device, comprising a device body 400 and any one of the above-mentioned evaporator mounting structures, wherein the evaporator mounting structure is arranged on the device body 400 .

[0072] The evaporator installation structure has been described in detail in the above embodiments and will not be described again here.

[0073] The laundry treatment device provided by the embodiment of the present application, by setting an evaporator installation structure, the evaporator installation structure sets an installation cavity 110 in the pipeline component 100 of the device, and opens an opening 120 on one side of the installation cavity 110, so that the evaporator 200 is arranged in the installation cavity 110 through the opening 120, the evaporator 200 is connected to the pipeline of the heat pump system through the first connection component 220, and a pipeline cover 300 is set to cover the opening 120.

[0074] When lint needs to be cleaned on the surface of the evaporator 200, the pipeline cover 300 can be removed, so that the connection between the first connection component on the evaporator 200 and the pipeline of the heat pump system is disconnected, and the evaporator 200 is taken out of the installation cavity 110 through the opening 120, and the lint on the surface of the evaporator 200 can be directly rinsed and cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, the evaporator 200 can be reinstalled into the installation cavity 110 through the opening 120 and connected to the pipeline of the heat pump system, and then the pipeline cover 300 is installed on the opening 120.

[0075] By setting the evaporator installation structure in this way, when the evaporator 200 needs to be cleaned, the evaporator 200 can be completely taken out of the device, and the evaporator 200 can be comprehensively and thoroughly cleaned, making the disassembly, installation and cleaning operations of the evaporator 200 convenient and fast, and ensuring good lint cleaning effect of the evaporator 200.
