[0043] Please refer to Figures 3 to 10 , an embodiment of the present application provides a base device 10, including a base 11, a cover 16 and a heat absorption component.

[0044] The base 11 has an air duct for air circulation. Figure 5 and Figure 7 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The arrows in the figure indicate the flow path of the air in the duct.

[0045] See also Figure 8 The base 11 has a drainage channel 116 , the air duct includes a first area 115 , and the drainage channel 116 is located on one side of the first area 115 along the first direction of the base device 10 .

[0046] For example, the first direction is Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The direction shown in the first direction.

[0047] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 A communication port 1161 is provided on one side of the drainage channel 116 close to the first area 115 , and the communication port 1161 connects the first area 115 and the drainage channel 116 , so that the liquid on the upper surface of the bottom wall 115 a of the first area 115 flows to the drainage channel 116 through the communication port 1161 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the heat absorption component is at least partially located in the first area 115. That is, after a portion of the liquid generated by the heat absorption component during the condensation and dehumidification process is discharged to the bottom wall 115a of the first area 115, it flows to the drainage channel 116 through the communication port 1161 and is then discharged to the outside of the base device 10 through the drainage channel 116, which helps to timely discharge the liquid generated by the condensation and dehumidification of the heat absorption component.

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, the cover plate 16 is disposed on the drainage channel 116 to prevent the liquid in the drainage channel 116 from forming water vapor under the negative pressure of the airflow and entering the downstream of the air duct.

[0050] In some embodiments, the cover plate 16 is provided with a liquid outlet 161, or the liquid outlet 161 is formed in at least a portion of the area of ​​the drainage channel 116 not covered by the cover plate 16. In other words, the liquid outlet 161 only needs to be located on the top side of the drainage channel 116, and there is no particular restriction on how the liquid outlet 161 is formed. The provision of the liquid outlet 161 helps ensure that liquid on the upper surface of the cover plate 16 flows directly into the drainage channel 116 through the liquid outlet 161.

[0051] It should be noted that the cover plate 16 is provided with a liquid outlet 161, and the shape of the liquid outlet 161 is independently defined by the cover plate 16. The area not covered by the cover plate 16 refers to the area where the liquid outlet 161 is located outside the overall outline of the cover plate 16. For example, if the drainage channel 116 is 100 cm long and the cover plate 16 is 80 cm long, and there is a 20 cm gap between the end of the cover plate 16 and the end of the drainage channel 116, then this gap constitutes the aforementioned liquid outlet.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cover plate 16 has an inclined plate portion 162 that extends downwardly toward the liquid outlet 161, guiding liquid on the upper surface of the inclined plate portion 162 toward the liquid outlet 161. In other words, the inclined plate portion 162, by virtue of its downwardly extending tendency toward the liquid outlet 161, can guide liquid on its upper surface, allowing liquid on the upper surface of the inclined plate portion 162 to pass through the liquid outlet 161 and enter the drainage channel 116. In other words, the inclined plate portion 162 can provide a certain degree of guidance for liquid on the upper surface of the cover plate 16, thereby helping to improve the drainage capacity of the base assembly 10.

[0053] It should be noted that the number of inclined plate portions 162 is not limited, and they may be provided around the periphery of the liquid outlet 161 , or only on one side or multiple sides of the liquid outlet 161 .

[0054] It is understood that the inclined plate portion 162 refers to a plate-like structure that extends obliquely downward toward the liquid outlet 161. The plate portion may be a flat plate structure or a non-flat plate structure, such as a curved plate structure or a wavy plate structure. The upper surface of the inclined plate portion 162 may be smooth or may be provided with protrusions.

[0055] It should be noted that the heat absorption component absorbs the heat of the air flow and cools the air flow. During the cooling process, the water vapor of the air flow will be condensed into water, thereby realizing the condensation and dehumidification function of the air flow, that is, the heat absorption component is used to condense and dehumidify the air flow.

[0056] In some embodiments, the base device 10 further includes a heat release device, which is disposed downstream of the heat absorption component along the airflow direction, and is used to heat the airflow.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 The present invention also provides a laundry processing device, comprising a first drum assembly 20 and a base device 10 according to any embodiment of the present invention. The first drum assembly 20 has a first laundry processing chamber 21, and an air duct is connected to the first laundry processing chamber 21. The first drum assembly 20 is used to care for laundry.

[0058] The laundry treating apparatus can at least be used to dry laundry.

[0059] The drying principle of the clothing processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the hot and humid air flow discharged from the first clothing processing chamber 21 enters the air duct, is condensed and dehumidified by the heat absorption component, the condensed and dehumidified air flow is heated by the heat release device, and the heated air flow returns to the first clothing processing chamber 21 through the air duct, and this cycle is repeated to achieve continuous drying of the clothes.

[0060] It should be noted that the low-temperature dry airflow is relative to the moist hot airflow, and the temperature of the low-temperature dry airflow is lower than that of the moist hot airflow. The low temperature in the embodiment of the present application may be room temperature.

[0061] For some examples, see Figure 1 The clothes processing device includes a box body, a second barrel assembly 30 and a frame 40 arranged in the box body.

[0062] The frame 40 is a main supporting structure for fixing and supporting other components of the clothes processing device.

[0063] The base device 10 is mounted on the frame 40 , and the base device 10 and its load transmit the force to the frame 40 .

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the frame 40 includes at least four columns 41, and the four columns 41 extend in the height direction. In horizontal plane projection, the four columns 41 are distributed at the four vertices of a quadrilateral.

[0065] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the base device 10 can be connected to the four pillars 41 respectively. The base device 10 is located in the area defined by the four pillars 41.

[0066] The base device 10 divides the space in the box into at least a first space and a second space along the height direction. The first barrel assembly 20 is disposed in the first space, and the second barrel assembly 30 is disposed in the second space.

[0067] It should be noted that if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the height direction of the clothes processing device is the top-bottom direction, which can also be called the up-down direction, including both the direction from top to bottom and the direction from bottom to top.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first laundry processing chamber 21 can at least dry the laundry. The second drum assembly 30 has a second laundry processing chamber 31, which can at least wash the laundry.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first space is located above the second space, that is, the first barrel assembly 20 is located higher than the second barrel assembly 30. In other embodiments, the first space may also be located below the second space, that is, the second barrel assembly 30 is located higher than the first barrel assembly 20.

[0070] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device includes a heat pump system, which includes components such as a compressor, an evaporator 13, and a condenser 14. The compressor, the condenser 14, and the evaporator 13 are connected in series in a refrigerant circuit.

[0071] The working principle of the heat pump system is as follows: the compressor inhales low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is compressed by the compressor and discharged as high-pressure gas. The discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser 14, and the refrigerant is cooled by the room temperature air around the condenser 14 and condensed into a high-pressure liquid (at the same time, the heat is transferred to the surrounding air). That is to say, the air around the condenser 14 will be heated and heated; the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the throttling device to throttle and reduce pressure, and becomes a low-pressure and low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture. The gas-liquid two-phase mixture enters the evaporator 13, and the liquid refrigerant therein evaporates and cools in the evaporator 13 (at the same time, absorbing heat from the surrounding air). That is to say, the air around the evaporator 13 will be cooled and cooled, and the refrigerant is sucked into the compressor again and pressurized. This cycle repeats continuously to achieve heat exchange.

[0072] In this embodiment, the evaporator 13 can be a component of the heat absorption component, and the condenser 14 can be a heat release device.

[0073] In other embodiments, the heat release device may also be an electric heating element.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the heat absorption assembly includes a liquid cooling device 12 for circulating a cooling liquid.

[0075] Specifically, cooling liquid can be introduced into the liquid cooling device 12. When the cooling liquid flows in the liquid cooling device 12, it is beneficial to keep the outer surface of the liquid cooling device 12 at a relatively low temperature. When the air flow in the air duct flows through the outer surface of the liquid cooling device 12, the liquid cooling device 12 exchanges heat with the air flow. The liquid cooling device 12 absorbs the heat of the air flow and transfers the heat to the cooling liquid in the liquid cooling device 12. The cooling liquid heats up, while the air flow temperature drops. The water vapor in the air flow reaches a saturated state and condenses into condensed water on the outer surface of the liquid cooling device 12. The condensed water is discharged to the bottom wall 115a of the heat absorption component installation area 115, thereby achieving the purpose of condensation and dehumidification of the air flow by the liquid cooling device 12.

[0076] The specific type of the coolant is not limited. In some embodiments, the coolant is water, which can be tap water, salt water, etc. In other embodiments, the coolant can also be other liquids.

[0077] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the heat absorption component may only include the evaporator 13; in some embodiments, the heat absorption component may only include the liquid cooling device 12; in some embodiments, the heat absorption component may include both the liquid cooling device 12 and the evaporator 13.

[0078] In the embodiments of this application, a heat-absorbing assembly comprising a liquid cooling device 12, an evaporator 13, and a condenser 14 is used as an example for description as a heat-releasing device. In this embodiment, the condenser 14 is located downstream of the evaporator 13 and the liquid cooling device 12 along the airflow direction. It is understood that the condenser 14 being located downstream of the evaporator 13 and the liquid cooling device 12 along the airflow direction means that the airflow in the air duct must first pass through the evaporator 13 and the liquid cooling device 12 before entering the condenser 14, but the order in which the airflow passes through the evaporator 13 and the liquid cooling device 12 is not limited.

[0079] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the evaporator 13 can be located upstream of the liquid cooling device 12 along the direction of air flow, that is, the air flow first flows through the evaporator 13 and then flows through the liquid cooling device 12; the evaporator 13 can also be located downstream of the liquid cooling device 12 along the direction of air flow, that is, the air flow first flows through the liquid cooling device 12 and then flows through the evaporator 13.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the evaporator 13 is located downstream of the liquid cooling device 12 along the airflow direction. In this embodiment, the airflow first flows through the liquid cooling device 12, then flows through the evaporator 13, and then enters the condenser 14.

[0081] In this embodiment, liquid cooling device 12 performs a primary condensation and dehumidification process on the airflow entering the air duct, reducing its temperature and humidity and intercepting some impurities such as lint. After the primary condensation and dehumidification, the airflow passes through evaporator 13 for a secondary condensation and dehumidification process, further condensing and cooling the airflow. Because the airflow has already undergone the primary condensation and dehumidification process before passing through evaporator 13, this process helps lower the evaporation temperature of evaporator 13 while ensuring the condensation and dehumidification effect on the airflow, thereby reducing the power consumption of the heat pump system.

[0082] In some embodiments, a portion of the heat sink assembly is positioned above the inclined plate portion 162. This allows liquid generated during the condensation and dehumidification process of the heat sink assembly to be guided by the inclined plate portion 162 and then drained through the liquid port 161 into the drainage channel 116. Furthermore, positioning a portion of the heat sink assembly above the inclined plate portion 162 fully utilizes the space above the drainage channel 116, helping to reduce the space occupied by the heat sink assembly in the first area 115 in the first direction, thereby contributing to a compact structure for the base device 10.

[0083] That is to say, the liquid generated during the condensation and dehumidification process of the heat absorption component can be discharged to the drainage channel 116 through the connecting port 1161, and can also be guided by the inclined plate portion 162 and discharged to the drainage channel 116 through the liquid port 161, which helps to discharge the liquid generated during the condensation and dehumidification process of the heat absorption component in a timely manner.

[0084] In some embodiments, the liquid cooling device 12 has a drain port 1212, which is located above the inclined plate portion 162. Alternatively, in a horizontal projection, the projection of the drain port 1212 is located within the projection of the liquid outlet 161. Specifically, when the drain port 1212 is located above the inclined plate portion 162, the coolant discharged from the drain port 1212 can first be discharged into the inclined plate portion 162. The inclined plate portion 162, by virtue of its tendency to extend downwardly toward the liquid outlet 161, can guide the liquid on its upper surface, thereby directing the coolant discharged from the drain port 1212 to the liquid outlet 161. This reduces the size and location requirements for the liquid outlet 161 and the drain port 1212. When the projection of the drain port 1212 is within the projection range of the liquid outlet 161 in the horizontal plane projection, the coolant discharged from the drain port 1212 along the height direction of the clothing processing equipment can directly flow through the liquid outlet 161 under the action of gravity into the drainage channel 116, which helps to improve the drainage efficiency and no longer needs to arrange a drainage pipe from the drain port 1212 to the liquid outlet 161, which helps to save layout space and layout costs.

[0085] It is understandable that the positional relationship between the liquid discharge port 1212 and the liquid transfer port 161 can be selected from the two above according to actual conditions.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, one end of the liquid cooling device 12 near the drainage channel 116 is supported by the cover plate 16, and the other end is supported by the bottom wall 115a of the first area 115. In other words, the cover plate 16 can also provide support for the liquid cooling device 12, helping to improve the installation stability of the liquid cooling device 12.

[0087] In an embodiment where a liquid outlet 161 is formed in an area where the cover plate 16 does not cover the drainage channel 116, and in a horizontal plane projection, the projection of the drain port 1212 is located within the projection range of the liquid outlet 161, the cover plate 16 can provide support for a portion of the end of the liquid cooling device 12 close to the drainage channel 116, as long as the cover plate 16 does not affect the direct discharge of the coolant discharged from the drain port 1212 to the liquid outlet 161.

[0088] In some embodiments, one end of the evaporator 13 along the first direction is at least partially located above the inclined plate portion 162. This effectively utilizes the space above the drainage channel 116, helping to reduce the space occupied by the evaporator 13 in the first area 115 in the first direction, thereby making the base device 10 more compact. Furthermore, a portion of the condensed water generated by the evaporator 13 during dehumidification of the airflow can be directed through the inclined plate portion 162 to the liquid outlet 161.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the base 11 includes a bottom wall portion 11a, a portion of which is recessed downward to form a drainage channel 116. Liquid flows through the space within the drainage channel 116. At this time, the bottom wall 116a of the drainage channel 116 is located lower than the bottom wall 115a of the first area 115, allowing water in the first area 115 to flow into the drainage channel 116.

[0090] It should be noted that the bottom wall 116a of the drainage channel 116 and the bottom wall 115a of the first region 115 refer to surfaces. That is, the bottom wall 116a of the drainage channel 116 refers to the upper surface of the bottom wall 116a of the drainage channel 116, and the bottom wall 115a of the first region 115 refers to the upper surface of the bottom wall 115a of the first region 115. The bottom wall portion 11a of the base 11 refers to a solid structure.

[0091] For example, Figure 8 As shown, the drainage channel 116 includes a first side wall 1162 and a second side wall 1163 arranged opposite to each other along a first direction. The first side wall 1162 and the second side wall 1163 both extend along a second direction that intersects with the first direction, for example, is substantially perpendicular.

[0092] The cover plate 16 is supported on the top ends of the first side wall 1162 and the second side wall 1163 . That is, the first side wall 1162 and the second side wall 1163 can provide support for the cover plate 16 .

[0093] The first sidewall 1162 is located on the side of the second sidewall 1163 that is close to the first area 115, and the communication port 1161 is provided on the first sidewall 1162. In other words, the first sidewall 1162 is the boundary between the first area 115 and the drainage channel 116. The communication port 1161 is provided on the first sidewall 1162 so that water in the first area 115 can be directly drained into the drainage channel 116 through the communication port 1161.

[0094] For example, the second direction is Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The direction shown in the second direction.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the bottom wall 115a of the first region 115 includes a first portion 1151 and a second portion 1153. Figure 6 As shown, the liquid cooling device 12 is at least partially located above the second portion 1153 , that is, part of the condensed water precipitated during the condensation and dehumidification process of the liquid cooling device 12 can be directly discharged to the second portion 1153 .

[0096] The position of the second part 1153 is lower than the first part 1151, so that the liquid in the first part 1151 can be discharged to the second part 1153, and then flow to the drainage channel through the second part 1153. The second part 1153 plays a role in drainage and diversion; at the same time, it also ensures that the condensed water generated by the liquid cooling device 12 in the process of air flow condensation and dehumidification will not flow back to the first part 1151 as much as possible, thereby minimizing the impact of the liquid in the second part 1153 on the components installed in the first part 1151.

[0097] One end of the second portion 1153 extends to the communication port 1161. That is, the liquid in the second portion 1153 is discharged directly into the drainage channel 116 through the communication port 1161, while the liquid in the first portion 1151 is first discharged into the second portion 1153 and then discharged into the drainage channel 116 through the communication port 1161. In this embodiment, no additional diversion structure is required, which helps save space in the first area 115 and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the second part 1153 is inclined downward along the first direction close to the connecting port 1161, so that the liquid in the second part 1153 can be discharged to the drainage channel 116 more smoothly. At the same time, it also makes the distance between the end of the second part 1151 close to the drainage channel 116 and the cover plate 16 larger, which helps to make the connecting port 1161 larger in the height direction, and helps the liquid in the second part 1153 to be discharged to the drainage channel 116 more promptly.

[0099] In some embodiments, the dimension a1 of the communication opening 1161 along the second direction (see Figure 7 ) is larger than the dimension a2 of the liquid cooling device 12 along the second direction (see Figure 5 In this way, the size of the communication port 1161 in the second direction is prevented from being too small, which may cause the liquid in the second portion 1153 to be discharged poorly. Instead, the liquid in the second portion 1153 can be discharged in time through the communication port 1161 .

[0100] In some embodiments, the height dimension h1 of the communication opening 1161 (see Figure 8 ) is the depth h2 of the drainage channel 116 (see Figure 8 ), that is, 1 / 4*h2≤h1≤2 / 3*h2, for example, 1 / 4, 1 / 2, 2 / 3, etc. In this way, the liquid in the second portion 1153 can be discharged promptly through the communicating port 1161, so as to avoid the communication port 1161 being too small in the height direction so as to prevent the liquid in the second portion 1153 from being discharged smoothly.

[0101] The depth of the drainage channel refers to the minimum dimension of the drainage channel in the height direction of the base device within the length range of the communication port.

[0102] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the liquid cooling device 12 is located higher than the interface between the first portion 1151 and the second portion 1153, where the interface refers to the edge of the first portion 1151 near the second portion 1153. This reduces the likelihood of the liquid cooling device 12 blocking condensed water flowing from the first portion 1151 to the second portion 1153 and also reduces the likelihood of condensed water flowing from the first portion 1151 to the second portion 1153 eroding the liquid cooling device 12.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a step structure 1154 is formed at the junction of the first portion 1151 and the second portion 1153. The step structure 1154 can effectively block the water in the second portion 1153, preventing the water in the second portion 1153 from flowing back to the first portion 1151 with the air flow, thereby improving the drainage effect of the base device 10.

[0104] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 Bottom wall 115a of first region 115 further includes a flat portion 1152, which is located on a side of second portion 1153 away from drainage channel 116. Flat portion 1152 is positioned higher than second portion 1153. Flat portion 1152 supports one end of liquid cooling device 12 in the first direction away from drainage channel 116, while the other end of liquid cooling device 12 in the first direction is supported on cover plate 16. In other words, flat portion 1152 and a portion of the top surface of cover plate 16 support bottom surface 12b of liquid cooling device 12.

[0105] In this embodiment, the second portion 1153 extends downwardly in a direction from the flat portion 1152 to the communication opening 1161 .

[0106] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, evaporator 13 is located downstream of liquid cooling device 12 along the airflow direction, and evaporator 13 is at least partially located above first portion 1151. Condensate generated by evaporator 13 condensing and cooling the airflow is discharged through first portion 1151 to second portion 1153, and then directed to drain channel 116 through second portion 1153.

[0107] In some embodiments, the base assembly 10 includes a protrusion protruding from the surface of the first portion 1151. The evaporator 13 is supported on the protrusion so that the bottom surface of the evaporator 13 is spaced apart from the first portion 1151. This facilitates the timely discharge of condensed water from the space and reduces the risk of the lower portion of the evaporator 13 being soaked by the condensed water.

[0108] It should be noted that the specific shape of the protrusion is not limited, as long as it can form a gap between the bottom surface of the evaporator 13 and the first portion 1151 .

[0109] For example, Figure 7 As shown, the protrusion includes a plurality of ribs 114 , that is, the plurality of ribs 114 jointly support the evaporator 13 .

[0110] In some embodiments, the plurality of ribs 114 are arranged at intervals, and the interval between two adjacent ribs 114 can also guide the condensed water precipitated from the evaporator 13 .

[0111] For example, Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, a plurality of ribs 114 are arranged at intervals along the first direction.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first direction is the left-right direction of the clothes processing apparatus. The liquid cooling device 12 and the evaporator 13 are arranged along the front-back direction of the clothes processing apparatus.

[0113] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the base device further includes a spray device 17 , which is at least partially located in the first area 115 . The spray device 17 has a spray port for spraying liquid toward at least one of the liquid cooling device 12 and the bottom wall 115 a of the first area 115 .

[0114] In some embodiments, the spray port can spray liquid toward the liquid cooling device 12 to remove impurities such as lint attached to the surface of the liquid cooling device 12. In some embodiments, the spray port can spray liquid toward the bottom wall 115a of the first region 115 to clean the bottom wall 115a of the first region 115. In some embodiments, the spray port can spray liquid toward both the liquid cooling device 12 and the bottom wall 115a of the first region 115 simultaneously.

[0115] In the embodiment having the evaporator 13, the spray device 17 can also spray liquid toward the evaporator 13 to remove impurities such as lint attached to the surface of the evaporator 13. In this embodiment, the spray port can simultaneously spray liquid toward the evaporator 13, the liquid cooling device 12, and the bottom wall 115a of the first region 115. Alternatively, the spray port can selectively spray liquid toward any one or two of the three, without limitation.

[0116] In addition, the liquid sprayed from the spray port can also directly contact the airflow, which helps to cool the airflow, thereby helping to condense and dehumidify the airflow. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the airflow does not need to flow through the spray device 17.

[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the liquid cooling device 12 includes a liquid cooling pipe 121 for circulating the coolant. The end of the liquid cooling pipe 121 forms a drain port 1212. The liquid cooling pipe 121 also includes a liquid inlet 1211. The liquid inlet 1211 and the drain port 1212 are located on the same side of the liquid cooling device 12 along the first direction. The liquid inlet 1211 and the drain port 1212 are located on the same side of the liquid cooling device 12 to facilitate piping.

[0118] Moreover, the liquid inlet 1211 needs to be connected to the water supply component. The liquid inlet 1211 and the liquid discharge port 1212 are both arranged above the drainage channel 116. The area above the drainage channel 116 can provide sufficient space for the liquid inlet 1211 and the water supply component.

[0119] In some embodiments, the liquid inlet 1211 is located higher than the liquid outlet 1212. The height difference between the liquid inlet 1211 and the liquid outlet 1212 allows the water in the liquid cooling circuit 121 to flow under its own gravity, thereby reducing the water pressure requirement of the water flowing into the liquid inlet 1211.

[0120] In some embodiments, the liquid cooling device 12 further includes fins, through which liquid cooling pipes 121 extend. The liquid cooling pipes 121 transfer their cooling energy to the fins, which, when in contact with the airflow, transfer the cooling energy to the airflow. The fins help increase the contact area between the liquid cooling device 12 and the airflow, thereby improving the condensation and dehumidification effect.
