[0043] This embodiment provides a wall-mounted clothes handling device. Specifically, in this embodiment, the wall-mounted clothes handling device is a washing machine.

[0044] Specifically, see Figure 1-Figure 3 The wall-mounted clothing handling device includes a box 1, a washing tub 2, and a drying rack 3.

[0045] The container 1 is configured to be mounted on the wall.

[0046] The washing tub 2 is installed inside the cabinet 1, and the side of the cabinet 1 is provided with a door that can open or close the washing tub 2.

[0047] The drying rack 3 is movably mounted on the lower surface of the box 1, allowing it to be switched between the usage position and the storage position.

[0048] In this embodiment, the wall-mounted clothing handling device is used such that the housing 1 is hung on the wall, and there is a certain distance between the lower surface of the housing 1 and the ground. The washing tub 2 can wash the clothes. After washing the clothes, the door is opened, and the drying rack 3 is switched to the use position. The washed clothes in the washing tub can be directly hung on the drying rack 3 using the space under the housing 1, which is convenient for the user. In the use position, the drying rack 3 is suspended from the lower surface of the housing 1; in the storage position, the drying rack 3 is attached to the lower surface of the housing 1.

[0049] When you no longer need to use the drying rack 3, simply switch it to the storage position.

[0050] Specifically, see Figure 1 The drying rack 3 includes a hanging rod 31 and a connecting arm 32.

[0051] A connecting arm 32 is provided at each end of the hanging rod 31. The end of the connecting arm 32 that is not connected to the hanging rod 31 is rotatably set on the lower surface of the box 1. In the use position, the hanging rod 31 is set at a distance from the lower surface of the box 1. In the storage position, the connecting arm 32 drives the hanging rod 31 to rotate to fit the lower surface of the box 1.

[0052] The upper end of the connecting arm 32 is rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the housing 1, enabling the drying rack 3 to switch between the use position and the storage position, making it convenient for users to operate.

[0053] Optionally, both the connecting arm 32 and the hanging rod 31 can be magnetically attached to the lower surface of the housing 1.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lower surface of the box 1 is provided with a storage slot 11 that engages with the drying rack 3. In the use position, the drying rack 3 is disengaged from the storage slot 11, and in the storage position, the drying rack 3 is engaged with the storage slot 11.

[0055] In the storage position, the drying rack 3 is snapped into the storage slot 11, so that the drying rack 3 can be attached to the lower surface of the box 1, ensuring that the drying rack is stably in the storage position.

[0056] Optionally, in some embodiments, the depth of the storage slot 11 is the same as the thickness of the drying rack 3, and the lower surface of the box 1 is provided with an avoidance groove that communicates with the storage slot 11. When the user needs to switch the drying rack 3 to the use position, he can insert his finger into the avoidance groove and bend the drying rack 3.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the depth of the storage slot 11 is less than the thickness of the drying rack 3. Thus, when the drying rack 3 is snapped into the storage slot 11, part of the drying rack 3 protrudes from the storage slot 11, eliminating the need for an avoidance groove. This reduces processing costs and also prevents the bottom plate of the box 1 from being too thick, which would result in a heavy wall-mounted clothing handling device.

[0058] Since some users choose to install wall-mounted clothes drying devices in the bathroom, where ventilation is generally poor, clothes hung on drying rack 3 are difficult to dry quickly. Therefore, in this embodiment, see... Figures 3-5 The wall-mounted clothing handling unit also includes a clothing care system 4.

[0059] The garment care system 4 includes an air duct component 41 and a switching valve 42.

[0060] The air duct component 41 is installed inside the housing 1. The upper end of the air duct component 41 is provided with an air inlet 411 and a first opening 414. The first opening 414 can selectively communicate with the washing tub 2. The lower end of the air duct component 41 is provided with a second opening 412 and a third opening 413. The third opening 413 can selectively communicate with the washing tub 2. The lower surface of the housing 1 is provided with an air outlet 12 that is directly opposite to the second opening 412.

[0061] The switching valve 42 is located inside the air duct component 41 and can control the opening of either the second opening 412 or the third opening 413.

[0062] Furthermore, the washing tub 2 is provided with a fourth opening 21 and a fifth opening 22. The fourth opening 21 can be selectively opened to communicate with the first opening 414, and the fifth opening 22 can be selectively opened to communicate with the third opening 413.

[0063] Understandably, the washing tub 2 is equipped with a first valve capable of opening or closing the fourth opening 21, and a second valve capable of opening or closing the fifth opening 22. Optionally, the first valve is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the inner drum of the washing tub 2, and the user can choose to slide the first valve by hand. The second valve is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the inner drum of the washing tub 2, and the user can choose to slide the second valve by hand.

[0064] Understandably, when the washing tub 2 is washing clothes, it rotates around its own axis, at which time both the first and second valves are closed. The air duct component 41 will not interfere with the rotation of the washing tub 2 around its own axis.

[0065] With this configuration, the garment care system 4 can form two independent air ducts.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first air duct is a circulating air duct formed by sequentially connecting the air duct component 41, the first opening 414, the washing tub 2, and the third opening 413.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second air duct is a unidirectional air duct formed by sequentially connecting the air inlet 411, the washing tub 2, the second opening 412, and the air outlet 12.

[0068] When the wall-mounted clothing handling device detects that the user has not removed the clothes that have been washed in the washing tub 2 within the set time, the care airflow circulates along the first air duct to care for the clothes in the washing tub 2, preventing the clothes in the washing tub 2 from developing odors or wrinkles.

[0069] Since some users install the wall-mounted clothes drying device in the bathroom, the clothes hanging on the drying rack 3 are difficult to dry quickly. In this case, the drying air is guided to flow along the second air duct to dry the clothes on the drying rack 3.

[0070] Furthermore, in order to achieve airflow circulation within the first air duct, a fan (not shown in the figure) is installed inside the air duct component 41 to achieve airflow circulation.

[0071] Furthermore, in order to achieve the flow of the drying air along the second air duct, a heating element (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the housing 1, and an exhaust element (not shown in the figure) is provided at the second opening 412. Optionally, the heating element can be a heating fan.

[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, an intake valve 4111 is provided at the air inlet 411, and the intake valve 4111 can control the flow rate through the air inlet 411.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the wall-mounted clothing handling device has a first care mode and a second care mode. In the first care mode, the airflow circulates along the first air duct; in the second care mode, the drying airflow flows along the second air duct.

[0074] When the wall-mounted clothes handling device detects that the user has not removed the clothes that have been washed in the washing tub 2 within the set time, the wall-mounted clothes handling device executes the first care mode. Optionally, the set time can be greater than 30 minutes. Of course, in other embodiments, the length of the set time can also be set as needed.

[0075] Specifically, see Figure 5In the first care mode, the air inlet valve 4111 controls the air inlet 411 to close, the switching valve 42 controls the second opening 412 to close, and controls the third opening 413 to open. The fan operates, causing airflow to follow the first air duct. When the user needs to quickly dry the clothes hanging on the drying rack 3, the wall-mounted clothes handling device executes the second care mode.

[0076] Specifically, see Figure 6 In the second care mode, the switching valve 42 controls the second opening 412 to open and the third opening 413 to close. The hot air generated by the heating element enters the washing tub 2 through the air inlet 411, and then flows to the air outlet 12 through the second opening 412, thereby drying and caring for the clothes on the drying rack 3.

[0077] Furthermore, an air guide 5 is provided between the second opening 412 and the air outlet 12, and the flow area of ​​the air guide 5 gradually increases along the airflow direction. With this arrangement, the air guide 5 can slow down the airflow velocity, so that the airflow can be blown evenly onto the clothes on the drying rack 3.

[0078] Furthermore, an air distribution element 6 is also provided between the air guide 5 and the air outlet 12. The flow area of ​​the air distribution element 6 is a fixed value and is larger than the flow area of ​​the outlet of the air guide 5. With this arrangement, the air distribution element 6 can further stabilize the flow velocity of the airflow led out by the air guide 5, thereby allowing the airflow to be blown more evenly onto the clothes on the drying rack 3, improving the uniformity of drying the clothes on the drying rack 3.

[0079] Preferably, the air outlet 12 is in the shape of a grille so that the airflow can flow evenly to the clothes on the drying rack 3.

[0080] Preferably, a filter screen is provided at the second opening 412. This arrangement prevents lint from the washing tub 2 from being blown onto the clothes on the drying rack 3.

[0081] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
