Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clothing processing, in particular to a clothing processing device. Background Art

[0002] With rising living standards, modern residents are increasingly concerned about the need for quick and damage-free drying of clothes. Clothes treatment devices have become common household appliances. Currently available heat pump dryers perform well, drying clothes at low temperatures of 50-60°C. In principle, after being treated by the condenser, high-temperature, low-humidity air is drawn into the bottom of the dryer drum through the air duct assembly at the back, dehumidifying the clothes. The dehumidified, high-temperature, high-humidity air is then returned to the evaporator at the dryer's opening, where it is treated and converted to low-temperature, low-humidity air before being recirculated through the condenser. In common dryers, air is drawn in from the rear of the dryer drum and discharged from the front. After passing through the evaporator and condenser, it enters the drum from the rear. In such dryers, the filter is typically placed at the front of the drum, where the door and clothing loading port are located. This results in a smaller air duct and a smaller filter area. Currently, there are few solutions for exhausting air from the rear of the drum and inletting it from the front, resulting in a lack of a suitable filtration solution. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "height", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "front", "back", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0040] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment discloses a clothing processing device 100, which may include a drum 110 and a filter device 180. The drum 110 may include a rear cover 172, and the filter device 180 may include a connector 181 and a filter (not shown in the figure), wherein the connector 181 is detachably provided at the rear cover 172 of the drum 110 of the clothing processing device 100. The filter is provided at the connector 181 and connected to the drum 110 via the connector 181, so that the gas in the drum 110 is filtered by the filter from the rear side of the drum 110 before flowing out.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the filter device 180 is disposed at the rear cover 172 of the barrel 110, which can well adapt to the structure of the clothing processing device 100 with air intake from the front and air outlet from the rear. The gas in the barrel 110 of the clothing processing device 100 with air intake from the front and air outlet from the rear is filtered before it flows out, thereby preventing the hair debris in the barrel 110 from entering other locations and causing contamination or blockage. In addition, in this embodiment, the filter device 180 is disposed at the rear cover 172. Since the area of ​​the rear cover 172 is larger and the filter device 180 needs to cover the entire rear side of the barrel 110, the area of ​​the filter device 180 is also larger, which improves the ability to collect hair debris, reduces the frequency of cleaning the filter net, reduces the number of times the filter device 180 is disassembled and assembled, increases the service life, and improves the user experience.

[0042] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the laundry processing device 100 of this embodiment may further include an air duct and an evaporator 121 and a condenser 122 disposed within the air duct. The air duct is connected to the drum 110. The evaporator 121 is disposed behind the condenser 122, so that the gas flowing out of the rear side of the drum 110 passes through the evaporator 121 and the condenser 122 in sequence before flowing into the drum 110 from the front side of the drum 110.

[0043] The air duct specifically includes a heat exchange and dehumidification duct 120, an air inlet duct 140 located at the front of the barrel 110, and an air outlet duct 130 located at the rear of the barrel 110. A drive element 123 is provided within the duct to circulate the gas within the duct. The evaporator 121 and condenser 122 are disposed within the heat exchange and dehumidification duct 120. The gas, dehumidified by the evaporator 121 and heated by the condenser 122, enters the barrel 110 from the front through the air inlet duct 140 and then flows back into the heat exchange and dehumidification duct 120 through the air outlet duct 130 at the rear of the barrel.

[0044] Specifically, the laundry processing device 100 of this embodiment is a laundry processing device 100 with air intake from the front side and air outlet from the rear side of the drum 110. The filter device 180 of this embodiment is disposed on the rear cover 172, ensuring that all gas within the drum 110 passes through the filter device 180 located at the rear side of the drum 110 before entering the air duct. This prevents hair debris within the drum 110 from directly entering the air duct, thereby blocking and contaminating the air duct, increasing cleaning difficulty, and affecting the performance of the evaporator 121 and condenser 122.

[0045] The filter device 180 of this embodiment is detachably connected to the rear cover 172, and the filter device 180 can be removed from the rear cover 172 when the filter device 180 needs to be cleaned. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, at least one slot 178 is provided on one side of the rear cover 172, and at least one latch 177 is provided on the opposite side. During installation, first insert the filter 180 directly into the slot 178, then press the latch 177 to install the filter 180 there. To remove the filter 180, first press the latch 177 to remove one side of the filter 180, then remove the filter 180 from the slot 178 to complete the removal process.

[0046] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the connecting member 181 of this embodiment may include a shell 182, on which at least one air permeable area is provided, and each air permeable area is provided with at least one air hole 183, so that the gas in the cylinder 110 passes through the air hole 183 and then flows to the filter.

[0047] The connector 181 of this embodiment may include a housing 182, which connects to the filter and is located on the rear cover 172 of the barrel 110. Since the housing 182 is in direct contact with the interior of the barrel 110, if it were directly formed into an open structure, the clothes would directly come into contact with the lint in the filter, which would be detrimental to cleaning the lint. In this embodiment, to prevent the clothes from coming into contact with the lint, the housing 182 is formed into a disc shape, and a ventilation area is provided on the disc-shaped housing 182. Each ventilation area is provided with a ventilation hole 183. This prevents the clothes from coming into contact with the lint in the filter 180 while not affecting the air flow.

[0048] Specifically, this embodiment provides multiple ventilation areas on the housing 182, each of which is provided with multiple ventilation holes 183. Preferably, this embodiment provides five ventilation areas on the housing 182, each of which has multiple ventilation holes arranged in a predetermined shape. The number of ventilation areas is determined based on actual conditions.

[0049] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the connecting member 181 of this embodiment may further include a connecting portion 184, which is openably connected to the side of the shell 182 away from the cylinder 110, and each connecting portion 184 is formed into a frame-type structure and is correspondingly arranged at one of the air permeable areas, and a filter is connected to the side of the connecting portion 184 away from the shell 182.

[0050] Specifically, the connection portion 184 of this embodiment is connected to the filter, and the connection portion 184 and the filter can form a box body for filtering lint while also collecting lint in the box body. The connection portion 184 can connect the filter to the housing 182 in an openable and closable manner, making it easier to clean lint from the filter.

[0051] Specifically, since there are five ventilation areas in this embodiment, the number of connecting portions 184 and the number of filters can also be five. Each connecting portion 184 and the corresponding filter form a collection box. The frame structure of each connecting portion 184 is formed into a quadrilateral structure, with the outer side matching the outer side of the housing 182 to form an arc-shaped structure, and the inner side is formed into an arc shape, with both sides extending radially.

[0052] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, one side of each connecting portion 184 is rotatably connected to the housing 182, and the other side is engaged with the housing 182 so that the connecting portion 184 can be snapped on and off relative to the housing 182. By opening and closing the connecting portion 184, the connecting portion 184 can be rotated relative to the housing 182, thereby cleaning the hair debris in the box body.

[0053] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the housing 182 of this embodiment further includes at least one rib 185, each rib 185 wrapping around the periphery of the corresponding ventilation area. Each connecting portion 184 is openably connected to the corresponding rib 185.

[0054] By providing the rib 185 on the shell 182, on the one hand, it is convenient to connect the connecting portion 184 with the shell 182, and on the other hand, it can increase the space for collecting hair debris, thereby collecting more hair debris and reducing the frequency of disassembly and assembly.

[0055] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​structure 186 is provided at the rib 185 and the connecting portion 184 , so that the connecting portion and the rib 185 can be snapped together and opened through the snap-fit ​​structure 186 .

[0056] More specifically, the snap-fit ​​structure 186 of this embodiment may include a buckle 187 and a slot 188. Buckle 187 is provided on the connection portion 184, opposite the rotational connection location. Slot 188 is provided on the rib 185. The engagement of slot 188 and buckle 187 allows the connection portion 184 to engage and disengage with the rib 185.

[0057] Specifically, when the connection portion 184 is engaged with the protrusion, the buckle 187 is engaged in the slot 188. When the connection portion 184 needs to be opened to clean the lint, the buckle 187 is pressed to disengage the buckle 187 from the slot 188, thereby opening the connection portion 184. Of course, in other embodiments, the positions of the buckle 187 and the slot 188 can be swapped, that is, the buckle 187 is provided at the rib 185, and the slot 188 is provided at the connection portion 184.

[0058] As a specific embodiment, the number of ventilation areas, ribs 185, and connecting portions 184 in this embodiment is equal and multiple, and each connecting portion 184 is located on a corresponding rib 185 outside one of the ventilation areas. Specifically, the number of ventilation areas, ribs 185, and connecting portions 184 in this embodiment is five. The cross-sectional structure of each connecting portion 184 is identical to that of the rib 185. This ensures that the connecting portions 184 and ribs 185 are fully engaged, preventing lint from escaping through the gap between the ribs 185 and the connecting portions 184.

[0059] As a specific example, Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the rear side of the barrel 110 of this embodiment includes at least one supporting rib 175, and each supporting rib 175 is provided with a protrusion 176 extending toward the interior of the barrel 110. A groove is formed between two adjacent protrusions 185. When the filter device 180 is disposed on the rear side of the barrel 110, the groove engages with the supporting rib 175, and the protrusion 176 abuts against the filter device 180, so that the filter device 180 rotates with the barrel 110.

[0060] Specifically, this embodiment also has five support ribs 175, and disc-shaped connecting plates 174 are disposed between the five support ribs 175. Together, the support ribs 175 and the connecting plates 174 form a hollow structure 173 with the rear side of the barrel 110. A filter 180 is positioned between these connecting plates 174 and the support ribs 175. The grooves formed between the ribs 185 engage the outside of the support ribs 175, while the protrusions 176 abut against the filter 180, allowing it to rotate with the barrel 110. The protrusions 176 of this embodiment not only abut against the filter, but also increase the strength of the support ribs 175.

[0061] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or deduced from the contents disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and deemed to cover all such other variations or modifications.
