[0002] The dryer has an evaporator and a condenser installed in the circulating air duct. The humid and cold airflow from the clothes processing chamber is converted into dry and hot airflow through the evaporator and condenser. The dry and hot airflow flows back to the clothes processing chamber to dry the clothes.

[0003] During the heat exchange process of the humid and cold airflow in the circulating air duct, condensate will form. This condensate is usually collected in a water collection pan for secondary use.

[0004] In related technologies, the connecting pipes used to transport condensate are in a loose state. The connecting pipes are prone to swaying due to the vibration of the dryer during operation, which affects the reliability of the connection between the connecting pipes and other components, and also generates more noise, thus affecting the user experience of the dryer.

[0009] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the constraint structure is disposed in the circumferential direction of the duct housing.

[0010] In some embodiments, the height of the constraint structure does not exceed the height of the top of the duct housing.

[0011] In some embodiments, the constraint structure includes a limiting structure and a limiting direction groove, the limiting structure engaging the delivery pipeline, and the limiting direction groove being configured to restrict the direction of the delivery pipeline.

[0012] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the limiting groove extends in a horizontal direction.

[0014] In some embodiments, the condensate treatment device includes a water storage box and a nozzle assembly; the delivery assembly further includes a water circuit switching valve, the delivery pipeline includes a first connecting pipe, a second connecting pipe and a third connecting pipe, the pump is connected to the inlet of the water circuit switching valve through the first connecting pipe, one end of the second connecting pipe is connected to the first outlet of the water circuit switching valve, and the other end is connected to the water storage box; the nozzle assembly is connected to the second outlet of the water circuit switching valve through the third connecting pipe.

[0015] In some embodiments, the limiting structure includes a first limiting structure, which is a retaining ring, and the first connecting pipe is engaged with the retaining ring; the second connecting pipe is disposed in the limiting direction groove.

[0016] In some embodiments, the delivery assembly further includes a sleeve fitted over the outside of the first connector, at least a portion of which is located within the retaining ring.

[0039] The principles and features of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a base 400, a water collection component 500, a condensate treatment device, and a conveying assembly 600. The water collection component 500 is connected to the base 400 and is used to collect condensate. The conveying assembly 600 includes a pump 610 and a conveying pipeline 611, which is used to convey the condensate in the water collection component 500 to the condensate treatment device. The base 400 is provided with a constraint structure 410, which is configured to constrain the conveying pipeline 611.

[0041] In this embodiment, the base 400 is the base of the clothing processing device, and the water collecting component 500 is connected to the base 400. The water collecting component 500 can collect the condensate water condensed from the evaporator 200 in the clothing processing device. Typically, as... Figure 1 As shown, an inner tub 100 is installed on the base 400. The inner tub 100 has a clothing processing chamber 110 for placing clothes inside. The inner tub 100 can also rotate around the rotation axis 120 to improve the drying effect of clothes.

[0042] The conveying assembly 600 includes a pump 610 and a conveying pipeline 611. The pump 610 can be, for example, a centrifugal pump, a gear pump, a plunger pump, etc. The condensate in the conveying pipeline 611 can be conveyed to a condensate treatment device under the drive of the pump 610. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the condensate treatment device may include at least one of a water storage box 700 and a spray nozzle assembly 300. The water storage box 700 can be used to discharge condensate from the delivery pipe 611 to the outside through a drain pipe. For example, the water storage box 700 may be detachable, allowing condensate to be discharged to the outside by periodically removing the water storage box 700; alternatively, the water storage box 700 may also be used to generate steam from the condensate from the delivery pipe 611 and spray it onto clothing for ironing. This application does not impose any limitations on this. The spray nozzle assembly 300 is used to spray the delivered condensate onto the outer surface of the heat exchanger, particularly the evaporator 200, thereby rinsing the outer surface of the evaporator 200.

[0043] In this embodiment, the water collecting component 500 is connected to the base 400. Furthermore, the base 400 is provided with a constraint structure 410, which is configured to constrain the conveying pipe 611. Thus, when the garment processing equipment vibrates during operation, such as when the pump 610 is working, the compressor of the garment processing equipment is working, or the inner tub 100 is rotating, the conveying pipe 611 can be limited by the constraint structure 410. This improves the problem of the conveying pipe 611 swaying due to vibration, thereby improving the connection reliability of the conveying pipe 611, reducing the probability of water leakage in the conveying assembly 600, and also reducing the noise of the conveying pipe 611, thus improving the comfort and reliability of the garment processing equipment for users.

[0044] In some embodiments, the constraint structure 410 is integrally formed with the base 400. This configuration allows the constraint structure 410 to be formed simultaneously with the base fabrication, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the constraint structure 410 and improving manufacturing convenience while ensuring the constraint of the delivery pipeline 611 is achieved.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7As shown, the base 400 includes a bottom shell 450 and a duct shell 460 connected to the bottom shell 450. A constraint structure 410 is disposed on either the bottom shell 450 or the duct shell 460. Typically, the garment processing equipment also includes a condenser 220 and an evaporator 200. The bottom shell 450 and the duct shell 460 are fitted together to form a receiving cavity 461 for accommodating the condenser 220 and the evaporator 200. The garment processing equipment also includes a compressor 210. The compressor 210, evaporator 200, and condenser 220 constitute a heat pump system. The working principle of the garment processing equipment is as follows: humid, cold air flowing out of the garment processing cavity 110 of the inner drum 100 exchanges heat with the heat pump system, thereby converting the humid, cold air into dry, hot air, which is then resupplyed into the garment processing cavity 110, thus continuously circulating to dry the clothes. The heat pump system has a high energy efficiency, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0046] In this embodiment, the constraint structure 410 is disposed on the bottom shell 450 or the air duct shell 460, so that the constraint structure 410 can be formed at the same time as the bottom shell 450 or the air duct shell 460 is manufactured, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the constraint structure 410 and improve the manufacturing convenience.

[0047] Optionally, the constraint structure 410 may be integrally formed with the bottom shell 450; or, the constraint structure 410 may be integrally formed with the air duct shell 460, and this application does not limit this.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, at least a portion of the constraint structure 410 is disposed in the circumferential direction of the air duct housing 460. This arrangement ensures that the constraint structure 410 does not occupy too much space on the top of the air duct housing 460, thereby reducing the probability of interference between the constraint structure 410 and the components on the air duct housing 460, and thus improving the convenience of the constraint structure 410 arrangement.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the height of the constraint structure 410 does not exceed the height of the top of the duct housing 460. This further reduces the probability of interference between the constraint structure 410 and the components on the duct housing 460, thereby improving the ease of arrangement of the constraint structure 410.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the constraint structure 410 includes a limiting structure 411 and a limiting direction groove 412. The limiting structure 411 engages with the conveying pipe 611, and the limiting direction groove 412 is configured to restrict the direction of the conveying pipe 611. In this embodiment, the constraint structure 410 includes a limiting structure 411 and a limiting direction groove 412. By setting the limiting structure 411, the position of the conveying pipe 611 can be fixed, preventing it from swinging. By setting the limiting direction groove 412, the direction of the conveying pipe 611 can be changed, thereby improving the convenience of connecting the conveying pipe 611 with other components.

[0051] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the limiting channel 412 extends horizontally. This configuration creates a water-retaining section on the conveying pipe 611 when it is positioned within the limiting channel 412. A portion of water remains in this section, blocking the air between the water-retaining section and the pump 610. This water-retaining section effectively isolates the conveying assembly 600 from gas exchange, thereby reducing the probability of external air entering the pump 610. This significantly reduces the probability of the pump 610 running dry, further improving the reliability and stability of the pump 610 and extending its service life.

[0052] In some embodiments, the limiting channel 412 is disposed on the base 400 and close to the water collection member 500. Since the conveying pipe 611 is used to convey the condensate stored in the water collection member 500, disposing of the limiting channel 412 on the base 400 and close to the water collection member 500 can improve the convenience of connecting the conveying pipe 611 and the water collection member 500, and also improve the convenience of connecting the conveying pipe 611 and the limiting channel 412.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown and referenced Figure 5 and Figure 6 The condensate treatment device includes a water storage box 700 and a nozzle assembly 300. The delivery assembly 600 also includes a water circuit switching valve 620. The delivery pipeline 611 includes a first connecting pipe 630, a second connecting pipe 640, and a third connecting pipe 660. The pump 610 is connected to the inlet 621 of the water circuit switching valve 620 through the first connecting pipe 630. One end of the second connecting pipe 640 is connected to the first outlet 622 of the water circuit switching valve 620, and the other end is connected to the water storage box 700. The nozzle assembly 300 is connected to the second outlet 623 of the water circuit switching valve 620 through the third connecting pipe 660.

[0054] In this embodiment, the water circuit switching valve 620 can be, for example, an electromagnetic multi-way valve, such as a three-way valve or a four-way valve. The water circuit switching valve 620 can select one of multiple outlets to discharge condensate. Specifically, one end of the second connecting pipe 640 is connected to the first outlet 622 of the water circuit switching valve 620, and the other end is connected to the water storage box 700; one end of the third connecting pipe 660 is connected to the second outlet 623 of the water circuit switching valve 620, and the other end is connected to the nozzle assembly 300. Thus, when the water circuit switching valve 620 connects the inlet 621 and the first outlet 622, the condensate drawn by the pump 610 from the water collection unit 500 can be discharged sequentially through the water circuit switching valve 620 and the second connecting pipe 640 into the water storage box 700. When the water circuit switching valve 620 connects the inlet 621 and the second outlet 623, the condensate pumped by the pump 610 from the water collection unit 500 can be discharged into the nozzle assembly 300 through the water circuit switching valve 620 and the third connecting pipe 660 in sequence.

[0055] The nozzle assembly 300 is used to rinse the evaporator 200. It is easy to understand that the humid, cold air in the clothing handling chamber 110 is blown onto the evaporator 200, and this airflow carries lint. Therefore, after prolonged use, lint easily adheres to the evaporator 200. If the lint is not removed promptly, it will not only severely affect the heat exchange performance but also easily produce odors. This embodiment, by providing the nozzle assembly 300, can rinse the surface of the evaporator 200. In this way, the lint on the evaporator 200 can be washed away by the condensate water, thereby improving the cleanliness of the evaporator 200. This ensures that the heat exchange performance of the evaporator 200 is not affected by lint, thus extending the service life of the evaporator 200.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the limiting structure 411 includes a first limiting structure 4111, which is a retaining ring 4111a, and a first connecting pipe 630 is engaged with the retaining ring 4111a. A second connecting pipe 640 is disposed in the limiting guide groove 412.

[0057] This embodiment describes a specific method for connecting the first limiting structure 4111, the limiting directional groove 412, and the conveying pipeline 611. The first limiting structure 4111 is a retaining ring 4111a, used to engage the first connecting pipe 630, thereby improving the constraint effect on the first connecting pipe 630 and reducing the probability of the first connecting pipe 630 swaying. The limiting directional groove 412 is used to arrange the second connecting pipe 640. This allows for the restriction and limiting of the direction of the second connecting pipe 640, thereby improving the convenience of arranging the direction of the second connecting pipe 640.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, the retaining ring 4111a can be positioned approximately at the center of the first connecting pipe 630, thereby further enhancing the fixing effect of the retaining ring 4111a on the first connecting pipe 630. In this case, only one retaining ring 4111a needs to be set to complete the limiting of the first connecting pipe 630, thereby reducing the cost of setting the first limiting structure 4111.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the conveying assembly 600 also includes a sleeve 650 fitted over the outside of the first connecting pipe 630, with at least a portion of the sleeve 650 located within the retaining ring 4111a. By providing the sleeve 650, and with at least a portion of the sleeve 650 located within the retaining ring 4111a, the wear between the retaining ring 4111a and the outer wall of the first connecting pipe 430 can be improved, reducing the probability of leakage due to wear in the first connecting pipe 630, thereby improving the service life and reliability of the first connecting pipe 630.

[0060] In other embodiments, the first limiting structure 4111 may also be other structures. For example, the first limiting structure 4111 may be a slot (not shown in the figure) formed in the circumference of the air duct housing 460 and a spring piece (not shown in the figure) connected to the slot. The slot and the spring piece surround each other to engage the first connecting pipe 630. This application does not limit this.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the limiting structure 411 also includes a second limiting structure 420, which is configured to constrain the second connecting pipe 640. The second limiting structure 420 includes a slot 421 and a blocking piece 423 connected to the slot 421. The blocking piece 423 and the slot 421 surround to form a through hole, and the second connecting pipe 640 passes through the through hole (not shown in the figure).

[0062] In this embodiment, the limiting structure 411 further includes a second limiting structure 420, which is configured to constrain the second connecting pipe 640. Specifically, the second limiting structure 420 includes a slot 421 and a blocking piece 423, and the second connecting pipe 640 passes through the through hole formed by the blocking piece 423 and the slot 421. That is, the second connecting pipe 640 can be simultaneously limited in the through hole formed by the blocking piece 423 and the slot 421 and in the limiting groove 412, thereby further improving the reliability and stability of the limiting structure 410 in limiting the second connecting pipe 640, and thus improving the comfort and reliability of personnel using the clothing processing equipment.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown and referenced Figures 4 to 6The second connecting pipe 640 includes a first section 641, a second section 642, a first bent section 643 connecting the first outlet 622 and the first section 641, and a second bent section 644 connecting the first section 641 and the second section 642. The second section 642 extends along the height direction of the base 400 and is connected to the water storage box 700. The first section 641 is located below the water circuit switching valve 620 and is engaged with the limiting direction groove 412.

[0064] As mentioned above, under the constraint of the limiting channel 412, the second connecting pipe 640 will form a special shape with a water storage section. The first section 641 is located below the water circuit switching valve 620. The first section 641 and the second section 642 are connected by the second bend section 644, and the first section 641 and the first outlet 622 are connected by the first bend section 643. Thus, the first section 641 located between the first bend section 643 and the second bend section 644 constitutes the aforementioned water storage section. This helps to reduce the probability of external air entering the pump 610, greatly reducing the probability of the pump 610 running dry, and further improving the reliability and stability of the pump 610's operation, and extending its service life.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the slot 421 is located on the side of the limiting guide groove 412 away from the water circuit switching valve 620. That is to say, after the second pipe 640 comes out of the water circuit switching valve 620, it is first guided and limited by the limiting guide groove 412, and then limited by the slot 421 and the blocking plate 423. The advantage of this setting is that the tail end of the second pipe 640 needs to be connected to the water storage box 700 located above the base 400. If the second pipe 640 is first inserted through the through hole, then snapped into the limiting guide groove 412, and finally extended upward to connect to the water storage box 700, then the part of the pipe that is snapped into the limiting guide groove 412 is easily dislodged from the limiting guide groove 412 due to the upward external force. Conversely, if the second connector 640 is first snapped into the limiting groove 412 according to the arrangement of this embodiment, then passed through the through hole, and finally extended upward to connect to the water storage box 700, then the upward external force on the second connector 640 will be transmitted to the through hole. The anti-detachment capability of the through hole far exceeds the anti-detachment capability of the limiting groove 412, so that the second connector 640 can still be well constrained within the through hole and the limiting groove 412, thereby further improving the reliability and stability of the limiting of the second connector 640.

[0066] In some embodiments, both the water path switching valve 620 and the nozzle assembly 300 are located on the top of the air duct housing 460. This arrangement improves the ease of connecting the water path switching valve 620 and the nozzle assembly 300.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first outlet 622 of the water circuit switching valve 620 is higher than the limiting directional groove 412. With this configuration, when the second connecting pipe 640 is connected to the first outlet 622 and engaged in the limiting directional groove 412, the second connecting pipe 640 creates a height difference in the base 400 between the first outlet 622 and the limiting directional groove 412. This causes the portion of the second connecting pipe 640 engaged in the limiting directional groove 412 to form a water storage section. This water storage section reduces the probability of external air entering the pump 610, thereby reducing the probability of the pump 610 running dry, and further improving the reliability and stability of the pump 610's operation, and extending its service life.

[0068] Since the water circuit switching valve 620 and the nozzle assembly 300 are located on the same component, the length of the third connecting pipe 660 can be designed to be shorter. Specifically, in some embodiments, the length of the third connecting pipe 660 is greater than or equal to 10 cm and less than or equal to 30 cm. In this way, the water circuit switching valve 620 and the nozzle assembly 300 can be connected through the third pipe 660, while the length of the third connecting pipe 660 is not too long. Therefore, it is not necessary to set a pipe constraint structure on the outside of the third connecting pipe 660, and the probability of the third connecting pipe 660 swinging is reduced, thereby improving the connection reliability of the third connecting pipe 660.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the bottom shell 450 includes a bottom plate 430, a first side plate 440 connected to the bottom plate 430, a second side plate 470 disposed opposite to the first side plate 440, and a third side plate 480 connecting the first side plate 440 and the second side plate 470. The first side plate 440, the second side plate 470 and the third side plate 480 are arranged to form an accommodating space for accommodating the air duct shell 460.

[0070] In this embodiment, the bottom shell 450 includes a bottom plate 430, a first side plate 440, a second side plate 470, and a third side plate 480. The second side plate 470 and the first side plate 440 are disposed opposite each other, and the third side plate 480 connects the second side plate 470 and the first side plate 440. That is, the bottom plate 430, the first side plate 440, the second side plate 470, and the third side plate 480 enclose an accommodating space with an opening on one side, within which the duct housing 460 can be disposed. This improves the ease of arrangement of the duct housing 460. Optionally, a compressor 210 can also be disposed within this accommodating space, and the compressor 210 can be located on one side of the duct housing 460.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 7As shown, the garment processing equipment also includes an inner tub 100, which is mounted on a base 400. A first air vent 810 is formed by a first side plate 440 and an air duct housing 460, and a second air vent 820 is formed by a second side plate 470. The first air vent 810, the receiving cavity 461, and the second air vent 820 are connected in sequence, and the inner tub 100 is connected to the first air vent 810 and the second air vent 820 respectively.

[0072] This embodiment describes the specific structure of the circulating air duct of a garment processing device. The receiving cavity 461 formed by the air duct outer shell 460 and the bottom shell 450 is part of the circulating air duct. The air duct outer shell 460 and the first side plate 440 form a first air vent 810, which can be, for example, an air outlet. The second side plate 470 forms a second air vent 820, which can be, for example, an air inlet. The inner tub 100 communicates with both the first air vent 810 and the second air vent 820, thereby forming a complete circulating air duct.

[0073] Furthermore, in one embodiment where the duct housing 460 and the first side plate 440 form the first air vent 810, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the duct housing 460 is a split type, comprising an upper housing and a lower housing. The lower housing is sealed to the first side plate 440, the second side plate 470, and the third side plate 480, forming the lower half of the receiving cavity 461. Simultaneously, the first side plate 440 and the lower housing form part of the first air vent 810. The upper housing is fastened to the lower housing, the first side plate 440, the second side plate 470, and the third side plate 480, thus forming the receiving cavity 461 while simultaneously forming a complete first air vent 810 with the first side plate 440 and the duct housing 460. Of course, in some other embodiments, the first air vent 810 may also be entirely formed within the first side plate 440; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0074] In addition, such as Figure 7 As shown, the second air vent 820 is formed on the second side plate 470. Of course, in some other embodiments, the second air vent 820 may also be formed by the air duct housing 460 and the second side plate 470 together, and this application does not limit this.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the water collecting component 500 and the base plate 430 are an integral structure. The pump 610 includes a pump housing 611, which is attached to the water collecting component 500. In other words, in this embodiment, the water collecting component 500 and the base plate 430 are integrated, and the pump 610 is connected to the base plate 430 through the water collecting component 500, thereby fixing the pump 610. This improves the ease of installation of the pump 610 and the water collecting component 500 and reduces manufacturing costs.
