[0037] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0038] In related technologies, clothing processing equipment such as dryers use impellers to drive airflow circulation to dry clothes. However, the limited space for impeller arrangement results in limited airflow. Therefore, how to optimize the structure of clothing processing equipment, increase the impeller arrangement space, and increase the impeller airflow has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0039] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 This invention describes a base assembly for a garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] The base assembly 1 for a garment processing device according to the present invention includes: a base 10, the base 10 having a mounting cavity 101 communicating with the inner cylinder of the garment processing device, the edge of the base 10 having a mounting protrusion 102 protruding in a first direction, and an expansion cavity communicating with the mounting cavity 101 being formed in the mounting protrusion 102; and an air supply member 103, the air supply member 103 being disposed on the base 10 and at least a portion of the air supply member 103 being housed in the expansion cavity.

[0041] Specifically, a mounting cavity 101 for mounting an air supply component 103 is formed on the base 10. The mounting cavity 101 is connected to the inner drum of the clothes handling equipment. The clothes handling equipment can be configured as a dryer or a washing machine with a drying function. The air supply component 103 can guide the airflow in the mounting cavity 101 to flow into the inner drum to dry or blow-dry the clothes. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a mounting protrusion 102 protruding in a first direction is formed on the edge of the base 10. The mounting protrusion 102 protrudes from the edge of the base 10 and forms an expansion cavity communicating with the mounting cavity 101. The air supply component 103 is disposed in the mounting cavity 101. The pivot axis of the air supply component 103 can extend along a second direction. The second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the air supply component 103. At least a part of the air supply component 103 protrudes from the base 10 and is housed in the expansion cavity. The expansion cavity provides a larger installation space for the air supply component 103, which helps to increase the air duct volume of the air supply component 103, thereby increasing the air supply volume of the air supply component 103.

[0042] According to the present invention, the bottom shell assembly for a garment processing device has a mounting cavity 101 formed on the base 10 for accommodating an air supply component 103. The mounting cavity 101 is connected to the inner cylinder of the garment processing device. The air supply component 103 is adapted to drive airflow to circulate between the mounting cavity 101 and the inner cylinder. A mounting protrusion 102 protruding in a first direction is formed on the edge of the base 10. An expansion cavity communicating with the mounting cavity 101 is formed in the mounting protrusion 102. At least a portion of the air supply component 103 is accommodated in the expansion cavity. The expansion cavity provides extra space for the installation of the air supply component 103, which is beneficial to increase the air duct volume of the air supply component 103 and increase the air supply volume of the air supply component 103.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air supply component 103 includes: a volute 12, which is disposed on the base 10 and at least a portion of the volute 12 is located within the mounting protrusion 102. The volute 12 has an airflow outlet 162 that opens toward the inner cylinder and an airflow inlet 161 that opens toward both axial sides. The airflow outlet 162 and the mounting protrusion 102 are directly opposite each other in the height direction; and an impeller 11, which is rotatably disposed within the volute 12.

[0044] Specifically, the volute 12 is disposed on the base 10, and at least a portion of the volute 12 is housed within the expansion cavity of the mounting protrusion 102. The volute 12 can be fixed to the base 10 by fasteners to ensure the mounting cavity 101 of the volute 12 is complete. The impeller 11 is rotatably disposed within the volute 12 to drive airflow. The mounting protrusion 102 provides additional space and fixing points for the installation of the volute 12, which helps to ensure the stability of the volute 12 installation. By setting the volute 12 on the outer periphery of the impeller 11, the airflow can be more concentrated and the direction of airflow can be facilitated, making the clothes in the inner drum more evenly stressed, thus improving the efficiency and quality of clothing processing. At the same time, the volute 12 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the impeller 11, isolating the impeller 11 from the outside, thereby reducing the noise generated by the rotation of the impeller 11 and improving the noise reduction effect.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the volute 12 includes: a main body 121, which is disposed in the mounting cavity 101 and adapted to house the impeller 11, with airflow inlets 161 formed on both axial sides of the main body 121; and an extension 122, which is connected to the main body 121 and housed in the expansion cavity, extending along the height direction and forming an airflow outlet 162; wherein the main body 121 and the extension 122 together define a first air duct 171 communicating with the airflow inlets 161 and the airflow outlet 162, and the impeller 11 is rotatably disposed in the first air duct 171.

[0046] Specifically, the main body 121 is disposed within the mounting cavity 101 and is adapted to house the impeller 11. The impeller 11 is rotatably disposed within the main body 121. The rotation of the impeller 11 can guide the airflow in the mounting cavity 101 into the volute 12. Airflow inlets 161 are respectively provided on both sides of the main body 121 in the axial direction (i.e., the second direction). The rotation of the impeller 11 can guide the airflow in the mounting cavity 101 into the main body 121 through the airflow inlets 161 on both sides, which is beneficial to improving the airflow volume and airflow efficiency of the air supply component 103. The extension 122 is connected to the main body 121 and together with the main body 121 defines the first air duct 171. An airflow outlet 162 is formed at the end of the extension 122. The airflow outlet 162 is open towards the inner cylinder, ensuring that the airflow can flow smoothly out of the volute 12 and effectively enter the inner cylinder of the garment processing equipment. The extension 122 is housed within the expansion cavity, so that the volute 12 can make full use of the space provided by the expansion cavity while maintaining the compactness of the volute 12 structure.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the volute 12 is constructed in multiple ways, and the multiple volutes 12 are spaced apart in a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction.

[0048] Specifically, the volute 12 is constructed as multiple volutes spaced apart axially, each containing an impeller 11. By increasing the number of volutes 12 and impellers 11, the airflow can be increased, allowing clothes to be subjected to stronger airflow, thus improving the efficiency and quality of clothes handling. The volute 12 also seals the impellers 11, reducing noise generated by their operation. The multiple volutes 12 are spaced apart axially (i.e., in the second direction), with the impellers 11 inside each volute 12 facing each other in the second direction. The rotation axes of the multiple impellers 11 extend in the same direction, facilitating simultaneous motor operation and rotation with multiple impellers 11. This increases airflow while reducing the space occupied by the impellers and motor, improving space utilization. The airflow outlets 162 of the multiple volutes 12 all open in the same direction towards the inner drum, further increasing airflow and improving clothes handling efficiency.

[0049] The "orthogonal" mentioned in this scheme is not necessarily strictly perpendicular orthogonal. The angle between the first direction and the second direction can be between 85° and 95°, as long as the angle between the first direction and the second direction does not exceed this limit.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the base assembly 1 further includes: a first motor 131, the first motor 131 being configured as at least one and disposed between two adjacent volutes 12, the first motor shaft 1311 having a first motor shaft 1311 and a second motor shaft 1312 extending in a second direction respectively on both sides, the first motor shaft 1311 and the second motor shaft 1312 being adapted to drive the impeller 11 to rotate.

[0051] Specifically, a first motor 131 is provided between two adjacent volutes 12. The first motor shaft 1311 forms a first motor shaft 1311 and a second motor shaft 1312 on both sides. The first motor shaft 1311 and the second motor shaft 1312 extend towards the volutes 12 on both sides of the axial direction, so that the first motor 131 can cooperate with the impeller 11 in the volute 12 and drive the impeller 11 to rotate. By driving the two impellers 11 to rotate simultaneously by the first motor 131, the rotation speed of the two impellers 11 can be guaranteed to be the same, thereby optimizing the airflow and ensuring that the airflow can act more evenly on the clothes in the inner drum, ensuring drying efficiency. Furthermore, by driving the two impellers 11 to rotate by a single motor, not only is the space utilization of the installation cavity 101 saved, but the overall cost of the clothes processing equipment is also reduced.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the base assembly 1 further includes: a cover plate 104, which is disposed on the top of the base 10 and connected to the edge of the base 10. A cavity outlet 163 is formed on the cover plate 104, which is directly opposite to the airflow outlet 162, and the cavity outlet 163 is connected to the inner cylinder.

[0053] Specifically, an installation cavity 101 with an opening towards the top is formed in the base 10. Structures such as impellers and motors can be placed in the installation cavity 101. A cover plate 104 is placed over the opening of the installation cavity 101. At this time, the cover plate 104 and the base 10 can serve as a sound insulation structure for the impeller 11, which helps to reduce the noise generated by the impeller 11 during operation and improve the noise reduction performance of the clothing processing equipment. A cavity outlet 163 is formed on the cover plate 104 to connect the mounting cavity 101 with the inner drum. The rotation of the impeller 11 can drive the airflow in the mounting cavity 101 to flow through the cavity outlet 163 into the impeller 11, thereby drying the clothes inside the inner drum. By providing a cavity outlet 163 on the cover plate 104 to connect the mounting cavity 101 and the inner drum, the airflow path can be reduced and the drying efficiency can be improved. The cavity outlet 163 is open towards the inner drum, so that the airflow can flow directly into the inner drum. The impeller 11 is located near the cavity outlet 163, which can improve the airflow efficiency and further improve the clothes handling efficiency.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the base 10 has a cavity inlet 164 communicating with the mounting cavity 101. A heat exchanger 14 suitable for exchanging heat with the airflow in the mounting cavity 101 is provided in the mounting cavity 101. The heat exchanger 14 is disposed between the cavity inlet 164 and the airflow inlet 161 and is arranged sequentially with the air supply component 103 in the first direction.

[0055] Specifically, external airflow can enter the mounting cavity 101 through the cavity inlet 164. A heat exchanger 14 is provided between the cavity inlet 164 and the airflow inlet 161. The heat exchanger 14 can be constructed as a condenser or an evaporator. The heat exchanger 14 and the air supply component 103 are arranged sequentially in the first direction. After the airflow enters the mounting cavity 101, it flows through the heat exchanger 14. After being cooled or heated by the heat exchanger 14, it flows into the air supply component 103 and is then sent into the inner drum by the air supply component 103 to dry or blow-dry the clothes inside the inner drum. This allows for precise control of the airflow temperature and improves the efficiency of clothes processing. By setting the heat exchanger 14 in the mounting cavity 101 to exchange heat with the airflow, and by placing the heat exchanger 14 between the cavity inlet 164 and the airflow inlet 161 and arranging it sequentially with the air supply component 103 in the first direction, the heat exchange path of the airflow is reduced, the heat exchange efficiency is improved, and the installation of the heat exchanger 14 and the air supply component 103 is made more compact, which helps to reduce the volume of the base 10.

[0056] The following is a brief description of a clothing processing device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] The garment processing device according to the present invention includes: a housing 15, wherein an installation space suitable for accommodating an inner tube is formed inside the housing 15; a base 10, wherein the base 10 is constructed as described in any of the above embodiments, the base 10 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 15 to enclose the installation space, and an installation cavity 101 suitable for installing an air supply component 103 and a cavity outlet 163 communicating the installation cavity 101 with the inner tube are formed on the base 10.

[0058] Specifically, the outer shell 15, as the main structure of the garment processing equipment, provides installation space for the inner drum, can seal and protect the inner drum, and can reduce the noise generated by the inner drum during operation. The outer shell 15 is located on the top of the base 10 to seal and protect the inner drum and components such as the air supply component 103. Since the base 10 is constructed as described in any of the above embodiments, by forming mounting protrusions protruding from the edges on the base 10, additional space is provided for the installation of the air supply component 103, which is beneficial to increasing the air duct volume of the air supply component 103, thereby increasing the air supply volume of the base assembly 1 and helping to improve the garment processing efficiency of the garment processing equipment.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the garment processing device further includes: a back cover 151, which extends in the height direction and whose bottom is adapted to be connected with the base 10. The back cover 151 is provided with a first air vent 1511 and a second air vent 1512 at intervals in the height direction, and a second air duct 172 connecting the first air vent 1511 and the second air vent 1512. The first air vent 1511 is located at the bottom end of the back cover 151 and is directly opposite to the cavity outlet 163. The second air vent 1512 is located above the first air vent 1511 and is connected to the inner cylinder.

[0060] Specifically, a rear cover 151 is provided above the base 10. The rear cover 151 extends along the height direction. A first air vent 1511 and a second air vent 1512 are provided at intervals along the extension direction of the rear cover 151. The first air vent 1511 is directly opposite the cavity outlet 163, and the second air vent 1512 is connected to the inner cylinder. During the operation of the impeller 11, the impeller 11 rotates and guides the airflow. The airflow flows through the air outlet 162 to the cavity outlet 163 and into the first air vent 1511. Then, the airflow flows through the second air duct 172 and into the inner cylinder through the second air vent 1512. The rear cover 151 guides the airflow, making it easier to control the airflow between the mounting cavity 101 and the inner cylinder. The rear cover 151 and the base 10 can isolate the impeller 11 from the external space of the clothing processing equipment, reduce the noise generated by the impeller 11, reduce the operating noise of the clothing processing equipment, and improve the user experience.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a guide plate 152 is provided in the second air duct 172, and the guide plate 152 is directly opposite to the first air outlet 1511 and is inclined toward the second air outlet 1512.

[0062] Specifically, an air guide plate 152 is inclinedly arranged inside the second air duct 172. The air guide plate 152 is directly opposite the first air outlet 1511 and inclined towards the second air outlet 1512. This allows the airflow to be guided by the air guide plate 152 and flow towards the second air outlet 1512 when it enters the second air duct 172 from the first air outlet 1511. This facilitates the control of the concentrated airflow to the second air outlet 1512 and then to the inner cylinder. This helps to optimize the airflow path and reduce the eddies and turbulence generated by the airflow, thereby reducing noise and energy consumption. By setting the air guide plate 152 inside the second air duct 172, the garment processing equipment can more effectively control the direction and speed of the airflow, which helps to improve the processing efficiency of the garment processing equipment.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the garment processing device further includes: a second motor, which is disposed on the base 10 and / or the outer casing 15 and is adapted to drive the inner drum to rotate.

[0064] Specifically, the second motor can be mounted on the base 10, or on the housing 15, or the second motor can be fixed to both the housing 15 and the base 10 to ensure the stability of the second motor. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second motor mounting position 18 can be provided on the base 10 to fix the second motor. The second motor drives the cylinder to rotate, and the first motor 131 drives the impeller 11 to rotate. The first motor 131 and the second motor work independently to avoid mutual interference and help reduce the noise of the whole machine.
