[0003] In the related art, the clothing processing device is connected to the heat pump assembly through a hose, which is then connected to the barrel assembly through a ventilation duct. Air circulation is then achieved through the connection between the hose and the ventilation duct. Due to the complex structural design and the heavy weight of the components, during assembly, the hose needs to be connected to the heat pump assembly first, then installed into the housing of the clothing processing device, and then the barrel assembly pre-connected with the ventilation duct is hoisted into the housing. Finally, the hose is connected to the ventilation duct through the installation port on the housing. However, due to the limited space inside the housing, the assembly space available is small. During actual operation, the assembly of the hose and the ventilation duct is difficult, which affects the assembly efficiency and effect. Utility Model Content

[0036] The realization of the objectives, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] The clothing processing device 100 involved in this application can be a clothes dryer with only a drying function, or a washer-dryer with both washing and drying functions, etc., without specific limitation herein. During the assembly process of some clothing processing devices 100, particularly washer-dryers, we found that due to the large number of components that need to be accommodated within the body, the available operating space within the body is relatively small, resulting in significant inconvenience for the assembler during actual operation, which can easily affect the assembly quality and assembly time. In particular, regarding the connection process between the elastic hose and the ventilation duct, since the elastic hose is an elastic member that is easily deformed and made of a flexible material, and its nozzle for connection to the ventilation duct is generally designed to be non-circular, while the ventilation duct is made of a rigid material that is not easily deformed, this makes it difficult to align the two during assembly. Furthermore, due to the limited operating space, the assembly difficulty is further increased, and the sealing connection between the two is also easily affected.

[0039] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a clothes processing device 100 that can solve the problem of difficulty in assembling the elastic hose and the ventilation duct that is often encountered in the actual assembly process of the existing clothes processing device 100. The following will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of a clothes processing device 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clothing processing device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a housing 1 and an air duct assembly 2.

[0041] The housing 1 may be the outer structure of the clothing processing device 100, or may be a partial shell structure component existing in the shell that constitutes the outer structure. The housing 1 has a front side and a rear side. Taking the use state of the clothing processing device 100 as an example, the side of the clothing processing device 100 facing the user in the use state is the front side, and the side away from the user is the rear side. It can be understood that the front and rear of any component herein are also based on the front and rear orientation of the housing 1 as a reference standard. A cavity is defined in the housing 1, and the cavity is used to install the components of the clothing processing device 100, such as the barrel assembly 3, the heat pump assembly 4, the air duct assembly 2, etc. In order to facilitate the installation of these internal components, an installation port 11 is provided on the rear side of the housing 1, and the installation port 11 is connected to the cavity, so that the assembler can assemble and repair the internal components in the housing 1 through the installation port 11.

[0042] In some embodiments, the laundry processing device 100 may further include a rear cover, which may be disposed on the rear side of the housing 1 to seal the mounting opening 11 to prevent internal components from being exposed to the outside.

[0043] The air duct assembly 2 is provided with an air duct inside, and the air duct can be used for air circulation. The air duct constitutes a part of the air circulation channel of the clothes processing device 100. Specifically, the air duct assembly 2 is provided in the cavity, such as Figure 3 As shown, the air duct assembly 2 includes an air duct structure 21, an adapter 22 and a hose 23. One end of the adapter 22 is connected to the hose 23, and the other end is connected to the air duct structure 21. The air duct structure 21, the adapter 22 and the hose 23 together define the air guide duct. Particularly, at least a portion of the connection between the adapter 22 and the air duct structure 21 is exposed to the mounting port 11, or the entire structure of the connection between the adapter 22 and the air duct structure 21 is exposed to the mounting port 11. It can be understood that the so-called "exposed" means that the projection of the connection on the rear side of the box body 1 is at least partially located within the mounting port 11, or in other words, if observed from the rear side of the box body 1 in a direction perpendicular to the rear side surface of the box body 1, at least a portion of the connection can be seen through the mounting port 11.

[0044] In the clothing processing device 100 provided in the present application, the air duct structure 21 and the hose 23 are connected by the adapter 22. During actual assembly, the adapter 22 and the hose 23 can be connected first, then placed in the barrel, and finally the adapter 22 and the air duct structure 21 can be assembled. In this way, the assembly step of the hose 23 pipe mouth can be carried out outside the box body 1, and is no longer restricted by the narrow space in the box body 1, which helps to reduce the difficulty of assembly and improve the sealing effect after assembly; at the same time, since the connection between the adapter 22 and the air duct structure 21 is exposed at the installation port 11, the practical difficulty of connecting the air duct structure 21 and the adapter 22 from the installation port 11 is also reduced, so that the assembly sealing effect between the two components can also be guaranteed, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the air duct assembly 2 in many aspects, improving the assembly effect, and helping to improve product production efficiency and quality stability.

[0045] In some embodiments, the hose 23 may be a corrugated tube, and its material may be a flexible material such as rubber, silicone, etc. The air duct structure 21 may be made of a material that is not easily deformed, such as metal, plastic, etc.

[0046] In some embodiments, the adapter 22 is a rigid member, and its material can be a non-deformable material such as metal or plastic. Thus, the connection between the adapter 22 and the air duct structure 21 is like that between rigid members, which reduces the connection difficulty and easily ensures the sealing of the connection. The adapter 22 and the air duct structure 21 can be made of the same material.

[0047] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the air duct structure 21 includes an air duct portion 211 and a first shell portion 212, wherein the first shell portion 212 extends outward from one end of the air duct portion 211. The adapter 22 includes a connecting tube 221 and a second shell portion 222, wherein one end of the connecting tube 221 is connected to the hose 23, and the wall of the other end of the connecting tube 221 extends outward to form the second shell portion 222. In terms of positional relationship, the second shell portion 222 is located behind the first shell portion 212 and covers the first shell portion 212, thereby enclosing and defining a section of the transition air duct with the first shell portion 212. At the same time, the second shell portion 222 also abuts against the air duct portion 211, allowing the transition air duct to communicate with the space defined within the air duct portion 211. In this way, the space defined within the air duct portion 211, the transition air duct, and the space defined within the hose 23 can be sequentially connected, thereby forming the air guide duct.

[0048] The first shell 212 and the second shell 222 can be connected by mutual engagement. For example, a snap-fit ​​portion is provided on the first shell 212, and a corresponding mating portion is provided on the second shell 222. The snap-fit ​​portion and the mating portion are engaged with each other to achieve the connection between the first shell 212 and the second shell 222. In addition, the first shell 212 and the second shell 222 can also be connected by bolts 6, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, screw holes can be provided on the first shell part 212 and the second shell part 222 respectively. In this way, after the second shell part 222 is covered on the first shell part 212, bolts 6 can be installed in the screw holes to achieve a fixed connection between the two.

[0049] The air duct portion 211 can be configured as an integrated tubular structure, or as a tubular body assembled from multiple components. Figure 5 In some embodiments, the air duct structure 21 includes a long plate 214 and a short plate 213 arranged relatively to each other, wherein the long plate 214 has a first section 2141 corresponding to the short plate 213 and a second section 2142 smoothly connected to the first section 2141. When the short plate 213 is covered on the long plate 214, the first section 2141 and the short plate 213 are mutually enclosed to define a tube body. The first section 2141 and the short plate 213 together constitute the air duct portion 211, and the second section 2142 constitutes the first shell portion 212.

[0050] The connecting tube 221 can be designed as a tubular structure having an orifice adapted to the shape of the orifice of the hose 23. The second shell portion 222 includes a bottom wall 2221 and side walls 2222, wherein the bottom wall 2221 is disposed opposite the first shell portion 212, and the side walls 2222 are formed by extending from the periphery of the bottom wall 2221 toward the first shell portion 212. The side wall 2222 can be designed as a semi-enclosed structure, and the side wall 2222 itself can define an opening, which is arranged opposite to the bottom wall 2221. When the adapter 22 is installed on the air duct structure 21, the first shell portion 212 can cover the opening to form the air duct wall of the transfer air duct; at the same time, the side wall 2222, the bottom wall 2221 and the first shell portion 212 can be enclosed to form an interface, which is the interface of the transfer air duct and can be connected to the air duct portion 211 to connect the space defined by the air duct portion 211 with the transfer air duct.

[0051] In some embodiments, the connecting tube 221 and the second shell portion 222 are integrally formed.

[0052] To ensure that the air duct has good sealing performance and stable airflow, the adapter 22 is sealed to the air duct structure 21. The connection between the adapter 22 and the air duct structure 21 is mainly reflected in the connection between the first shell 212 and the second shell 222, and the connection between the second shell 222 and the air duct portion 211.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first shell portion 212 and the second shell portion 222 are sealed. Figure 6 As shown, in the second shell portion 222, the side wall 2222 has an abutting end away from the bottom wall 2221; accordingly, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the first shell portion 212 has an abutting portion corresponding to the abutting end. When the adapter 22 is installed to the air duct structure 21, the abutting end and the abutting portion abut against each other.

[0054] See also Figure 4 A first mounting groove 24 is provided on one of the abutting end and the abutting portion, and a first pressure rib 25 is provided on the other one of the abutting end and the abutting portion; for example, a first mounting groove 24 is provided on the abutting end, and a first pressure rib 25 is provided at a corresponding position on the abutting portion corresponding to the first mounting groove 24, or a first mounting groove 24 is provided on the abutting portion, and a first pressure rib 25 is provided at a corresponding position on the abutting end corresponding to the first mounting groove 24. The air duct assembly 2 also includes a first sealing member 26, which is provided in the first mounting groove 24 and abuts against the first pressure rib 25. In this way, when the adapter 22 is installed to the air duct structure 21, the first pressure rib 25 and the first sealing member 26 cooperate with each other, thereby achieving a seal between the abutting end and the abutting portion. The first sealing member 26 can be a rubber sealing strip.

[0055] In order to obtain a better sealing effect and prevent the first sealing member 26 from falling off, the first mounting groove 24 may be filled with glue to adhere the first sealing member 26 to the first mounting groove 24 .

[0056] In some embodiments, the second shell portion 222 is sealed to the air duct portion 211. Figure 8As shown, the air duct portion 211 has a connecting portion that abuts the second shell portion 222. When the adapter 22 is installed in the air duct structure 21, the edge of the interface of the second shell portion 222 overlaps the connecting portion, and the two abut each other. A second mounting groove 27 is provided on one of the edge of the interface and the connecting portion, and a second pressure rib 28 is provided on the other. For example, the second mounting groove 27 is provided on the edge of the interface, and the second pressure rib 28 is provided at a corresponding position on the connecting portion corresponding to the second mounting groove 27. Alternatively, the second mounting groove 27 is provided on the connecting portion, and the second pressure rib 28 is provided at a corresponding position on the edge of the interface corresponding to the second mounting groove 27. The air duct assembly 2 also includes a second sealing member 29, which is disposed in the second mounting groove 27 and abuts the second pressure rib 28. Thus, when the adapter 22 is installed in the air duct structure 21, the second pressure rib 28 and the second sealing member 29 cooperate with each other to achieve a seal between the interface and the connecting portion. The second sealing member 29 may be a rubber sealing strip.

[0057] In order to obtain a better sealing effect and prevent the second sealing member 29 from falling off, the second mounting groove 27 may be filled with glue to adhere the second sealing member 29 to the second mounting groove 27 .

[0058] In addition, to prevent the hose 23 from falling off, the outer wall of the connecting tube 221 may be provided with anti-slip ribs 223 circumferentially. The anti-slip ribs 223 abut against the inner wall of the hose 23 to prevent the hose 23 from falling off. The anti-slip ribs 223 can be provided in a closed ring shape, an open ring shape, or a plurality of circumferentially spaced arc-shaped protrusions. In some embodiments, one, two, or more anti-slip ribs 223 may be provided. When multiple anti-slip ribs 223 are provided, the multiple anti-slip ribs 223 may be spaced apart along the length of the connecting tube 221.

[0059] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device 100 may further include a barrel assembly 3 and a heat pump assembly 4. The barrel assembly 3 is disposed within the cavity and is provided with a drying air duct having a first air outlet and a second air outlet. The barrel assembly 3 is configured to heat the airflow and perform heat exchange on the clothing. The heat pump assembly 4 is disposed within the cavity and below the barrel assembly 3 in the direction of gravity. The heat pump assembly 4 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The heat pump assembly 4 includes a condenser and an evaporator for dehumidifying the hot and humid airflow.

[0060] Exemplarily, the tub assembly 3 may include an inner tub 31, a door seal 32, a drying duct assembly 33, and an air outlet duct 34. The inner tub 31 defines an inner space for holding clothing. The front side of the inner tub 31 includes a tube opening that connects to the inner space. The air duct assembly 2 may be disposed at the rear side of the inner tub 31. The door seal 32 can be opened and closed to seal the tube opening. The door seal 32 includes a first channel, one end of which connects to the inner space and the other end connects to the drying assembly. The drying assembly includes a second channel and a heater for heating the gas in the second channel. The air outlet duct 34 connects to the inner space. The outlet of the air outlet duct 34 constitutes a first air outlet, and the end of the second channel away from the first channel constitutes a second air outlet.

[0061] The air duct assembly 2 can be provided in multiple configurations. Figure 3 As shown, the air duct assembly 2 includes a first air duct assembly 2a and a second air duct assembly 2b, and the first air duct assembly 2a and the second air duct assembly 2b can be symmetrically arranged on the rear side of the inner cylinder 31. The structures of the first air duct assembly 2a and the second air duct assembly 2b can refer to the above embodiment, and the specific structures of the two can be the same or different. The first air duct assembly 2a forms a first air guide duct, and the second air duct assembly 2b forms a second air guide duct. One end of the first air guide duct is connected to the first air port, and the other end is connected to the air inlet. One end of the second air guide duct is connected to the second air port, and the other end is connected to the air outlet. For example, it can be set that the hose 23 is connected to the heat pump assembly 4 to achieve the connection between the air guide duct and the air inlet or the air outlet, and the end of the air duct portion away from the adapter 22 is connected to the first air port or the second air port. The air flow enters the second channel from the second air outlet, is heated by the heating element and becomes high-temperature dry gas, flows to the door seal 32, enters the space inside the drum through the first channel, passes through the clothes and dries them, and then passes through the air outlet pipe 34 and is discharged from the first air outlet. At this time, it is low-temperature humid air (relative to high-temperature dry gas). After passing through the first air guide duct, it enters the heat pump component 4 from the air inlet, becomes dry hot air and is discharged from the air outlet, enters the second air guide duct, and finally flows through the second air outlet to the second channel, completing a cycle.

[0062] See also Figure 7 The adapter 22 of the first air duct assembly 2a is a first adapter 22a, and the adapter 22 of the second air duct assembly 2b is a second adapter 22b. The first adapter 22a is connected to the second adapter 22b. Specifically, the first adapter 22a and the second adapter 22b can be directly connected or connected through a connecting plate 5. The first adapter 22a and the second adapter 22b can be screwed or fixed. In some embodiments, the first adapter 22a and the second adapter 22b can also be integrally formed, which can simplify the components and improve assembly efficiency.
