[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the embodiments of this application is realized as follows:

From the direction of the installation hole to the air outlet, the distance between the guiding surface and the axis of the air outlet in the height direction of the clothing treatment device gradually decreases.

[0013] In one implementation, in the height direction of the clothing treatment device, the bottom end of the exhaust installation part is not lower than the top end of the guiding surface.

[0014] In one embodiment, a transition surface is provided on the bottom plate. The transition surface is connected to one end of the guiding surface close to the mounting hole, and the transition surface extends along the height direction of the laundry treating device.

[0016] In one embodiment, a supporting surface is further provided on the guiding structure. The supporting surface is located on a side of the guiding surface away from the mounting hole and extends along the axial direction of the mounting hole.

[0017] In one embodiment, when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the laundry treating device, the projection of the air outlet is within the projection range of the supporting surface.

[0018] In one embodiment, when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the mounting hole, the shape of the projection of the supporting surface is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the exhaust duct.

[0039] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] An embodiment of the present application provides a clothing treatment device. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the clothing treatment device includes a cabinet 10, a volute 20, an exhaust duct 30, and a guiding structure 40.

[0041] It should be noted that the clothing treatment device can be a dryer, a washing and drying integrated machine, etc., and the present application does not limit this here. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the clothing treatment device is taken as an example of a dryer for illustration.

[0042] The cabinet 10 can be understood as the external supporting structure of the clothing treatment device, and its specific shape is not limited. Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the cabinet 10 is generally a cubic structure, and the cabinet 10 is placed on the ground, and its stability is relatively better.

[0043] The cabinet 10 defines an accommodation space, and the accommodation space can be used for the installation of other components of the clothing treatment device.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , the clothing treatment device further includes a cylinder assembly 50, and the cylinder assembly 50 is arranged in the accommodation space and is used to perform functions such as washing, dehydrating, or drying clothes.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , the clothing treatment device further includes a heating element 60. The air heated by the heating element 60 enters the cylinder assembly 50, removes the moisture of the clothes in the cylinder assembly 50, and then enters the volute 20. A turbine 70 is arranged in the volute 20, and the turbine 70 rotates to discharge the air after heating the clothes to the outside of the clothing treatment device through the exhaust duct 30.

[0046] The volute 20 is provided with an air outlet 21a and an exhaust air installation part 21, and the exhaust air installation part 21 is located in the accommodation space; the cabinet 10 is provided with an installation hole 122a, and the installation hole 122a communicates with the inside and outside of the cabinet 10; one end of the exhaust duct 30 passes through the installation hole 122a and is connected to the exhaust air installation part 21 and communicates with the air outlet 21a.

[0047] The air in the volute 20 is discharged to the exhaust duct 30 through the air outlet 21a and is discharged to the outside of the clothing treatment device through the exhaust duct 30. It can be understood that the air outlet 21a is also located in the cabinet 10.

[0048] The shape of the air outlet 21a is not limited. Exemplarily, the air outlet 21a is a circular hole. It can be understood that the exhaust duct 30 is generally a circular pipe, and the air outlet 21a adopts a circular hole, so as to be more adapted to the lumen of the exhaust duct 30, and the air in the volute 20 can be discharged to the outside of the laundry treatment device more quickly through the exhaust pipe, that is, the air flow circulation system for drying clothes of the laundry treatment device is smoother, which is beneficial to improving the drying efficiency of clothes.

[0049] The mounting hole 122a is used for mounting the exhaust duct 30. The shape of the mounting hole 122a is also not limited. Exemplarily, the mounting hole 122a is also a circular hole, so as to be more adapted to the shape of the exhaust duct 30.

[0050] The exhaust air mounting part 21 can facilitate the installation of the exhaust duct 30 on the volute 20.

[0051] The guiding structure 40 is arranged in the accommodating space and is used to guide the exhaust duct 30 to the exhaust air mounting part 21.

[0052] It should be noted that the installation structure of the guiding structure 40 in the accommodating space is not limited. Exemplarily, the guiding structure 40 is arranged on the box body 10.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 , in the related art, one end of the exhaust duct 30' extends into the box body through the mounting hole 122a' on the rear plate 122' located at the rear side of the box body, and then is mounted on the volute 20' located at the front side of the box body. During the installation of the exhaust duct 30', visual installation is required through the mounting hole 122a' on the rear plate 122', and the vision of the installer is relatively limited. Therefore, the installation of the exhaust duct 30' is relatively difficult, which may lead to incorrect installation of the exhaust duct 30', and dust will leak to the bottom inside the laundry treatment device and accumulate, contacting electrical components such as heating elements and motors of the turbine, resulting in a fire risk. In order to be easier to see during installation, generally, the size of the mounting hole 122a' is designed to be much larger than that of the exhaust duct 30'. After the exhaust duct 30' is installed, the gap between the mounting hole 122a' and the exhaust duct 30' is closed by the exhaust duct cover 80'. In this way, the number of parts to be installed will be increased, resulting in a relatively low overall installation efficiency.

[0054] In the clothes treatment device according to the embodiment of the present application, a guiding structure 40 is provided in the accommodation space. During the installation process of the exhaust duct 30, the guiding structure 40 can guide the exhaust duct 30 to the exhaust air installation part 21, and then the exhaust duct 30 can be installed on the exhaust air installation part 21. Installers no longer need to install the exhaust duct 30 by visual inspection. Therefore, it is beneficial to reduce the installation difficulty of the exhaust duct 30, and the exhaust duct 30 can also be installed on the exhaust air installation part 21 more accurately and reliably, which is conducive to reducing the electrical safety hazards of the clothes treatment device. In addition, after installers no longer need to install by visual inspection, the aperture of the installation hole 122a can also be appropriately reduced to be closer to the size of the exhaust duct 30. After the exhaust duct 30 is installed, the gap between the installation hole 122a and the exhaust duct 30 is relatively small, and it is even no longer necessary to set an exhaust duct cover to seal the gap between the installation hole 122a and the exhaust duct 30. That is, the number of parts to be installed is reduced, thereby improving the overall installation efficiency and the production efficiency of the clothes treatment device is also higher.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the box body 10 includes a bottom plate 11, and the guiding structure 40 is arranged on the side of the bottom plate 11 facing the accommodation space; a guiding surface 41 is provided on the guiding structure 40, and the installation hole 122a, the guiding surface 41, and the air outlet 21a are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the installation hole 122a. From the direction of the installation hole 122a to the air outlet 21a, the distance between the guiding surface 41 and the axis of the air outlet 21a in the height direction of the clothes treatment device gradually decreases.

[0056] One end of the exhaust duct 30 moves along the axial direction of the installation hole 122a towards the direction close to the air outlet 21a. When one end of the exhaust duct 30 touches the guiding surface 41, the exhaust duct 30 continues to move, and under the action of the guiding surface 41, the height is lifted, so that the end of the exhaust duct 30 extending into the box body 10 can reach the exhaust air installation part 21 more accurately and is installed on the exhaust air installation part 21.

[0057] In this embodiment, by guiding the movement of the exhaust duct 30 through the guiding surface 41, the guiding structure 40 provided with the guiding surface 41 is relatively simple and occupies a relatively low space inside the clothes treatment device.

[0058] In some other embodiments, the guiding structure 40 includes a guiding channel that extends along the axial direction of the installation hole 122a and is respectively communicated with the installation hole 122a and the air outlet 21a at both ends. During the installation process of the exhaust duct 30, it is guided to the exhaust air installation part 21 through the guiding channel. For the guiding structure 40 with such a structure, the exhaust duct 30 can be guided by the guiding channel inside the box body 10, which is more conducive to the accurate installation of the exhaust duct 30.

[0059] In one embodiment, the side of the volute 20 facing the mounting hole 122a protrudes towards the mounting hole 122a to form an exhaust air mounting portion 21. The exhaust air mounting portion 21 surrounds and forms an air outlet 21a, and one end of the exhaust air pipe 30 is sleeved on the exhaust air mounting portion 21.

[0060] The exhaust air pipe 30 and the exhaust air mounting portion 21 are installed by socket connection, so that the installation of the exhaust air pipe 30 is more convenient.

[0061] In addition, the exhaust air pipe 30 is sleeved on the exhaust air mounting portion 21, that is, the air outlet 21a is also located in the lumen of the exhaust air pipe 30, and the airtightness of the air outlet 21a is better. The airflow discharged through the air outlet 21a will basically be discharged to the outside of the laundry treatment device through the exhaust air pipe 30, which is beneficial to reducing the probability of the humid and hot airflow leaking into the interior of the cabinet 10.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , in the height direction of the laundry treatment device, the bottom end of the exhaust air mounting portion 21 is not lower than the top end of the guiding surface 41.

[0063] More specifically, there is a certain height difference between the bottom end of the exhaust air mounting portion 21 and the top end of the guiding surface 41 in the height direction of the laundry treatment device. It can be understood that the height of the top end of the guiding surface 41 is equivalent to the height of the bottom end of the exhaust air pipe 30. In the embodiment where the exhaust air pipe 30 is sleeved on the exhaust air mounting portion 21, this height difference can meet the installation space of the pipe wall of the exhaust air pipe 30.

[0064] Of course, when the exhaust air pipe 30 and the exhaust air mounting portion 21 are installed by butt joint and fitting, the bottom end of the exhaust air mounting portion 21 can also be at the same horizontal height as the top end of the guiding surface 41. The guiding surface 41 can guide the bottom end of the exhaust air pipe 30 to a position at the same horizontal height as the bottom end of the exhaust air mounting portion 21, so as to realize the installation of the exhaust air pipe 30.

[0065] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the cabinet 10 includes a front panel 121 and a rear panel 122. Specifically, both the front panel 121 and the rear panel 122 belong to the side enclosure panels 12 of the cabinet 10. The front panel 121 and the rear panel 122 are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction of the laundry treatment device on the bottom plate 11, the air outlet 21a is located on the front side of the laundry treatment device, and the mounting hole 122a is provided on the rear panel 122.

[0066] Furthermore, the side enclosure panel 12 further includes a side panel 123, and both sides of the side panel 123 in the front-rear direction are respectively connected to the front panel 121 and the rear panel 122.

[0067] Generally speaking, the front side of the laundry treatment device is the side where the laundry inlet is located, and the side opposite to the front side is the rear side of the laundry treatment device.

[0068] The user needs to pick up and place clothes through the clothes inlet located on the front side. Therefore, the mounting holes 122a are provided on the rear panel 122. When the user operates the clothes processing device, the hot and humid air flow discharged to the outside of the clothes processing device through the exhaust duct 30 will not directly blow towards the user, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , a transition surface 111 is provided on the bottom plate 11. The transition surface 111 is connected to one end of the guiding surface 41 close to the mounting hole 122a, and the transition surface 111 extends along the height direction of the clothes processing device.

[0070] It should be noted that "the transition surface 111 extends along the height direction of the clothes processing device" means that the transition surface 111 has a certain dimension in the height direction of the clothes processing device.

[0071] In this embodiment, one end of the guiding surface 41 close to the mounting hole 122a is lifted in height through the transition surface 111. When the height of the end of the guiding surface 41 away from the mounting hole 122a remains unchanged, the inclination angle of the guiding surface 41 relative to the horizontal direction of the clothes processing device is smaller. During the process of the installer pushing one end of the exhaust duct 30 to move on the guiding surface 41, the reaction force exerted by the guiding surface 41 on the exhaust duct 30 is smaller. Therefore, the guiding effect of the guiding surface 41 is better and the installer is more labor-saving.

[0072] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , both the guiding surface 41 and the transition surface 111 are inclined relative to the horizontal direction of the clothes processing device, and the inclination angle of the guiding surface 41 is smaller than that of the transition surface 111.

[0073] In this embodiment, the transition surface 111 can also produce a certain guiding effect. After one end of the exhaust duct 30 touches the transition surface 111, when the installer continues to push the exhaust duct 30, the transition surface 111 can also guide the movement of the exhaust duct 30 and guide the exhaust duct 30 to the guiding surface 41. Therefore, the operation of installing the exhaust duct 30 is more convenient.

[0074] It can be understood that since the transition surface 111 is more used to lift the height of one end of the guiding surface 41 close to the mounting hole 122a. If the inclination angle of the transition surface 111 is set larger than that of the guiding surface 41, then the dimension of the transition surface 111 along the axial direction of the mounting hole 122a will be smaller. That is, along the axial direction of the mounting hole 122a, the sum of the extension lengths of the transition surface 111 and the guiding surface 41 is smaller, and the required space is also smaller, which is beneficial to reducing the interference probability between the transition surface 111 and other components of the clothes processing device.

[0075] In some other embodiments, the extending direction of the transition surface 111 may also be parallel to the height direction of the laundry treating device, that is, the transition surface 111 is parallel to the height direction of the laundry treating device.

[0076] In this embodiment, after the installer pushes one end of the exhaust duct 30 to touch the transition surface 111, if the exhaust duct 30 is continuously pushed, since the exhaust duct 30 is resisted by the transition surface 111, it cannot move forward anymore. At this time, the installer can control one end of the exhaust duct 30 to swing slightly along the height direction of the laundry treating device, that is, one end of the exhaust duct 30 can reach the guiding surface 41, and then the exhaust duct 30 is continuously pushed, and the guiding surface 41 can guide the exhaust duct 30 to continue to move in the direction closer to the exhaust installation part 21.

[0077] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 , a supporting surface 42 is further provided on the guiding structure 40. The supporting surface 42 is located on the side of the guiding surface 41 away from the mounting hole 122a and extends along the axial direction of the mounting hole 122a.

[0078] After one end of the exhaust duct 30 crosses the guiding surface 41, it can be supported by the supporting surface 42. Thus, the guiding structure 40 can more stably guide the exhaust duct 30 to move in the direction closer to the exhaust installation part 21.

[0079] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the mounting hole 122a, the shape of the projection of the supporting surface 42 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the exhaust duct 30.

[0080] Exemplarily, the shape of the projection of the supporting surface 42 is arc-shaped. Since the exhaust duct 30 is generally a round pipe, the arc-shaped supporting surface 42 is more adapted to the exhaust duct 30.

[0081] Of course, when the exhaust duct 30 is square or other shapes, the shape of the projection of the supporting surface 42 can be consistent with the shape of the exhaust duct 30.

[0082] In this embodiment, the supporting surface 42 can also have a certain limiting effect on the exhaust duct 30. After the exhaust duct 30 is located above the supporting surface 42, under the action of gravity, it is supported on the supporting surface 42, and the supporting surface 42 reduces the swinging probability of the exhaust duct 30. Thus, it is beneficial for the exhaust duct 30 to reach the exhaust installation part 21 more accurately, so as to realize the connection with the exhaust installation part 21.

[0083] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the laundry treating device, the projection of the air outlet 21a is within the projection range of the supporting surface 42. That is to say, the air outlet 21a is directly above the supporting surface 42.

[0084] The connection position between the exhaust duct 30 and the exhaust installation part 21 can also be supported by the support surface 42, and the installation stability and reliability of the exhaust duct 30 on the exhaust installation part 21 are better.

[0085] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , the guiding structure 40 and the bottom plate 11 are integrally formed.

[0086] It should be noted that the specific method of integrally forming the guiding structure 40 and the bottom plate 11 is not limited. For example, by stamping one side of the sheet metal part, one side of the sheet metal part protrudes to form the transition surface 111 and the guiding structure 40, and the part of the sheet metal part that is not stamped is the other structure of the bottom plate 11 except the transition surface 111; another example is that the bottom plate 11 and the guiding structure 40 can also be integrally formed by injection molding or the like.

[0087] For the integrally formed bottom plate 11 and guiding structure 40, during the assembly process of the laundry treatment device, fewer parts need to be assembled, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the laundry treatment device.

[0088] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , the guiding structure 40 and the bottom plate 11 are of a split structure, and the guiding structure 40 is connected to the bottom plate 11.

[0089] The guiding structure 40 can be connected to the bottom plate 11 by an irreversible connection method such as welding; of course, the guiding structure 40 can also be connected to the bottom plate 11 by a detachable connection method such as fastening connection with fasteners, plugging, or clamping.

[0090] When the bottom plate 11 and the guiding structure 40 are of a split structure, the structures of both are relatively simple, and thus, it is convenient for production and forming.

[0091] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , along the axial direction of the mounting hole 122a, the distance between the guiding surface 41 and the exhaust installation part 21 is less than the distance between the guiding surface 41 and the mounting hole 122a.

[0092] It can be understood that the mounting hole 122a can support the end of the exhaust duct 30 far from the exhaust installation part 21. In this embodiment, the distance between the guiding surface 41 and the exhaust installation part 21 is smaller, that is, the guiding structure 40 is closer to the exhaust installation part 21, and the guiding structure 40 can support the end of the exhaust duct 30 close to the exhaust installation part 21. That is to say, both ends of the exhaust duct 30 can be well supported, and thus, it is beneficial to improve the installation stability and reliability of the exhaust duct 30 on the exhaust installation part 21.

[0093] In addition, the line connecting the center of the mounting hole 122a and one end of the guiding surface 41 close to the mounting hole 122a is the first connecting line, and the line connecting the center of the mounting hole 122a and the other end of the guiding surface 41 far from the mounting hole 122a is the second connecting line. If the guiding surface 41 is closer to the mounting hole 122a, the distance between the guiding surface 41 and the mounting hole 122a is relatively small, and the included angle between the first connecting line and the second connecting line is relatively large. During the movement of one end of the exhaust duct 30 on the guiding surface 41, both the change amount and the change rate of the inclination angle of the exhaust duct 30 are relatively large. When the installer pushes the exhaust duct 30 to move, the reaction force given by the guiding surface 41 to the exhaust duct 30 is relatively large, resulting in a poor guiding effect of the guiding surface 41.

[0094] In this embodiment, the guiding surface 41 is closer to the exhaust air mounting portion 21, the included angle between the first connecting line and the second connecting line is smaller, and during the movement of one end of the exhaust duct 30 on the guiding surface 41, both the change amount and the change rate of the inclination angle of the exhaust duct 30 are smaller. When the installer pushes the exhaust duct 30 to move, the reaction force given by the guiding surface 41 to the exhaust duct 30 is relatively small. Thus, the guiding effect of the guiding surface 41 is better, which is conducive to the installation of the exhaust duct 30.
