[0039] 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.

[0040] In related technologies, clothing processing equipment circulates airflow through an impeller to dry clothes. However, the impeller's rotation axis is usually perpendicular to the base, resulting in a large space occupied by the impeller and insufficient airflow. Therefore, how to optimize the impeller arrangement and improve the airflow has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0041] 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.

[0042] According to the present invention, the base assembly 1 for a garment processing device includes: a base 10, the base 10 having a mounting cavity 103, the mounting cavity 103 communicating with the inner cylinder of the garment processing device and extending in a first direction; and an impeller 11, the impeller 11 being rotatably disposed on the base 10, the rotation axis of the impeller 11 extending in a second direction, the first direction being orthogonal to the second direction.

[0043] Specifically, the base assembly 1 for a clothing processing device of this application includes a base 10 and an impeller 11. The clothing processing device can be a dryer or a washing machine with a drying function, etc. An mounting cavity 103 is formed on the base 10, extending along a first direction, which can be the length direction of the base 10. The mounting cavity 103 communicates with the inner drum of the clothing processing device, and a clothing processing chamber is formed inside the inner drum. Clothes are placed in the clothing processing chamber. The impeller 11 rotates, driving the airflow within the mounting cavity 103 to flow into the clothing processing chamber to perform a drying operation. The impeller 11 is rotatably mounted on the base 10, and the rotation axis of the impeller 11 extends along a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction. The second direction can be the width direction of the base 10. By configuring the extension direction of the rotation axis of the impeller 11 to be orthogonal to the extension direction of the base 10, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the impeller 11 is placed vertically, which can save the space occupied by the impeller 11 installation. By saving the space occupied by the impeller 11 installation, multiple impellers 11 can be arranged at intervals in the second direction. By increasing the number of impellers 11, the flow rate of the airflow driven by the impeller 11 can be increased, so that the airflow can act more fully on the clothes, thereby improving the efficiency of clothes processing.

[0044] 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.

[0045] According to the present invention, the base assembly 1 for a garment processing device has a mounting cavity 103 formed on the base 10 for mounting an impeller 11. The mounting cavity 103 is connected to the inner cylinder of the garment processing device. The impeller 11 is rotatably disposed in the mounting cavity 103. The base 10 extends along a first direction, and the rotation axis of the impeller 11 extends along a second direction. The first and second directions are orthogonal. Through the above design, the space occupied by the impeller 11 is reduced, and multiple impellers 11 are spaced apart along the second direction in the mounting cavity 103, thereby improving the air guiding capacity of the impeller 11. By rotating multiple impellers 11, more airflow can be guided from the mounting cavity 103 into the inner cylinder and act on the garment, thereby increasing the air volume of the base assembly 1 and thus improving the garment processing efficiency.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the base assembly 1 further includes a heat exchanger 14, which is disposed on the base 10 and arranged sequentially with the impeller 11 in the direction of airflow along a first direction.

[0047] Specifically, the heat exchanger 14 can be configured as a condenser or an evaporator. The heat exchanger 14 is disposed on the base 10 and located within the mounting cavity 103. The heat exchanger 14 and the impeller 11 are arranged sequentially in the first direction. After the external airflow enters the mounting cavity 103, it first undergoes heat exchange through the heat exchanger 14. The airflow after heat exchange through the heat exchanger 14 flows through the impeller 11 and, guided by the impeller 11, flows into the inner drum to perform drying or blow-drying operations on clothing. This is achieved by placing the heat exchanger 14 upstream of the impeller 11 in the first direction. The heat exchanger 14 facilitates heat exchange of the airflow and its flow into the first air duct 171. By setting the heat exchanger 14, the temperature of the airflow can be controlled more precisely, thereby improving the efficiency of washing and drying. The heat exchanger 14 and the impeller 11 are arranged sequentially in the first direction, making the airflow in the entire mounting cavity 103 simpler and without unnecessary bends, reducing airflow resistance, increasing the air volume delivered by the impeller 11, and making the installation of the impeller 11 and the heat exchanger 14 more compact, which helps to reduce the volume of the base 10.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the base 10 includes: a housing 101, in which an installation cavity 103 is formed that opens toward the top; a cover plate 102, which is disposed on the top of the housing 101, and has a cavity outlet 163 that communicates with the inner cylinder; and an impeller 11 is disposed between the cover plate 102 and the housing 101 and is adapted to drive airflow to circulate between the installation cavity 103 and the inner cylinder.

[0049] Specifically, the base 10 includes a housing 101 and a cover plate 102. An installation cavity 103 that opens to the top is formed inside the housing 101. The impeller 11 and other structures (such as motors, heat exchangers 14, etc.) can be placed in the installation cavity 103. The cover plate 102 covers the opening of the installation cavity 103. At this time, the cover plate 102 and the housing 101 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 102, which connects the mounting cavity 103 and the inner drum. The rotation of the impeller 11 can drive the airflow in the mounting cavity 103 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 102 to connect the mounting cavity 103 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.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the base assembly 1 further includes: a volute 12, which is disposed in the mounting cavity 103. The volute 12 forms an airflow inlet 161 and an airflow outlet 162, as well as a first air duct 171 communicating with the airflow inlet 161 and the airflow outlet 162. The impeller 11 is rotatably disposed in the first air duct 171. The airflow inlet 161 is communicating with the mounting cavity 103, and the airflow outlet 162 is open toward the cavity outlet 163.

[0051] Specifically, the volute 12 is disposed in the mounting cavity 103 and can be fixed to the base 10 by fasteners to ensure the mounting cavity 103 of the volute 12 is in place. The impeller 11 is rotatably disposed in the volute 12 to drive airflow. 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, so that the clothes in the inner drum are subjected to more uniform force, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of clothing processing. The volute 12 has an airflow inlet 161 and an airflow outlet 162. The airflow inlet 161 allows airflow from the mounting cavity 103 to enter the volute 12. The airflow inlet 161 can be located on one or both sides of the volute 12 to control the airflow efficiency. The airflow outlet 162 is open to the cavity outlet 163 on the cover plate 102, so that the airflow can flow out of the volute 12 and enter the inner drum to dry the clothes, reducing the airflow path and improving the drying efficiency. At the same time, the volute 12 is fitted around the impeller 11 to isolate the impeller 11 from the outside, thereby reducing the noise generated by the rotation of the impeller 11 and improving the noise reduction effect.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the volute 12 includes: a first volute 121 and a second volute 122, the first volute 121 and the second volute 122 being spaced apart in a second direction, and an impeller 11 being respectively disposed in the first volute 121 and the second volute 122.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the volute 12 includes a first volute 121 and a second volute 122, which are spaced apart in a second direction. Impellers 11 are respectively provided in the first volute 121 and the second volute 122. By increasing the number of volutes 12 and impellers 11, the airflow can be increased, so that the clothes can be subjected to stronger wind force, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of clothes processing. The first volute 121 and the second volute 122 seal the impellers 11, which also helps to reduce the noise generated by the impellers 11 during operation. The first volute 121 and the second volute 122 are spaced apart. The impellers 11 installed inside the first volute 121 and the second volute 122 face each other in the second direction. The rotation shafts of the two impellers 11 extend in the same direction, which facilitates the simultaneous operation of the motor with both impellers 11 and the motor rotation. This increases the air volume while reducing the space occupied by the impellers 11 and the motor, thus improving space utilization. The air outlets 162 of the first volute 121 and the second volute 122 open in the same direction, both facing the inner drum, further increasing the air volume and improving the efficiency of clothing handling.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the base assembly 1 further includes: a first motor 131, which is disposed between the first volute 121 and the second volute 122. The first motor 131 has a first motor shaft 1311 and a second motor shaft 1312 that are opposite to each other and extend along a second direction on both axial sides. The first motor shaft 1311 is adapted to cooperate with the rotation shaft of the impeller 11 in the first volute 121 and drive the impeller 11 to rotate. The second motor shaft 1312 is adapted to cooperate with the rotation shaft of the impeller 11 in the second volute 122 and drive the impeller 11 to rotate.

[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a first motor 131 is disposed between the first volute 121 and the second volute 122. 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 toward the first volute 121 and the second volute 122 respectively, so that the first motor 131 can cooperate with the impeller 11 inside the first volute 121 and the impeller 11 inside the second volute 122 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 mounting cavity 103 saved, but the overall cost of the clothes processing equipment is also reduced.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the volute 12 includes: an arc-shaped plate 123, which is arranged around the radial outer periphery of the impeller 11 and spaced apart at one end and the other end in the extending direction of the arc-shaped plate 123 to define an airflow outlet 162; a first side plate 124 and a second side plate 125, which are respectively located on both sides of the arc-shaped plate 123 in a second direction and connected to the edge of the arc-shaped plate 123 to define a first air duct 171 between the first side plate 124, the second side plate 125 and the arc-shaped plate 123.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an arc-shaped plate 123 is arranged around the radial outer periphery of the impeller 11, forming an annular structure surrounding the impeller 11. The arc-shaped plate 123 is spaced apart at one end and the other end in the extending direction, thereby defining the airflow outlet 162. The rotation of the impeller 11 drives the airflow to flow out from the inside of the volute 12 through the airflow outlet 162 and into the inner cylinder. The first side plate 124 and the second side plate 125 are respectively located on both sides of the arc-shaped plate 123 in the second direction (i.e., the extending direction of the rotation axis of the impeller 11) and are connected to the edge of the arc-shaped plate 123. The first side plate 124 and the second side plate 125, together with the arc-shaped plate 123, jointly define the first air duct 171 inside the volute 12. The first air duct 171 defines the flow direction of the airflow inside the volute 12, making the airflow more concentrated and improving the airflow intensity. By combining the arc-shaped plate 123, the first side plate 124, and the second side plate 125, the volute 12 forms a closed or semi-closed structure for guiding and controlling the flow of air, ensuring that the airflow is fully guided inside the volute 12, reducing the flow resistance of the airflow, and ensuring the flow intensity of the airflow.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, airflow inlets 161 are respectively provided on the first side plate 124 and the second side plate 125.

[0059] Specifically, by providing airflow inlets 161 on the first side plate 124 and the second side plate 125 respectively, during the rotation of the impeller 11, the air in the mounting cavity 103 can be guided into the volute 12 through the airflow inlets 161 on both sides. Compared with a single-sided airflow inlet 161, the double-sided airflow inlets 161 can allow more airflow into the volute 12, thereby increasing the airflow volume and airflow intensity inside the volute 12. The large amount of airflow flowing into the inner drum and acting on the clothes can improve the drying effect.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, on the axial cross section of the volute 12, the portion of the surface of the arc plate 123 facing the airflow outlet 162 is recessed in a direction away from the airflow outlet 162.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, on the axial cross section of the volute 12, the part of the surface of the arc plate 123 facing the air outlet 162 is recessed in the direction away from the air outlet 162, thereby providing centrifugal force for the airflow flowing through the first air duct 171, so that the volute 12 can play a centrifugal acceleration role for the airflow flowing through the first air duct 171, reducing the flow resistance of the airflow and increasing the airflow intensity.

[0062] The following is a brief description of a garment processing device according to some embodiments of the present utility model.

[0063] The garment processing device according to the present invention includes: a housing 15, wherein an installation space 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 the base 10 has an installation cavity 103 for installing an impeller 11 and a cavity outlet 163 communicating with the inner tube.

[0064] Specifically, the outer casing 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 casing 15 is located on the top of the base 10 to seal and protect the inner drum and impeller 11 and other components. Since the base 10 is constructed as described in any of the above embodiments, an installation cavity 103 is formed on the base 10 for accommodating the impeller 11, motor, heat exchanger 14 and other structures. The extension direction of the rotation axis of the impeller 11 is orthogonal to the extension direction of the base 10, which helps to save space for the motor and facilitates the installation of more impellers 11, thereby increasing the airflow guided by the impeller 11 and improving the garment processing effect of the garment processing equipment.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the outer shell 15 includes: a rear cover 151, which extends in the height direction and the bottom of the rear cover 151 is adapted to be connected with the base 10. A first air vent 1511 and a second air vent 1512 are formed on the rear cover 151 at intervals in the height direction. The first air vent 1511 is located at the bottom end of the rear 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 communicates with the inner cylinder.

[0066] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, 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 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 103 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.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a second air duct 172 is formed inside the rear cover 151, which is connected to the first air vent 1511 and the second air vent 1512. A guide plate 152 is provided inside the second air duct 172, which is directly opposite to the first air vent 1511 and inclined toward the second air vent 1512.

[0068] 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.

[0069] 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.

[0070] 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. Figures 1 to 3 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.
