DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the schemes of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0044] In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0045] Some embodiments of the present application provide a clothes processing equipment, which can be a washing machine, a clothes dryer, a washer-dryer, etc.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1 to 14 As shown, some embodiments of the clothes processing equipment provided by the present application include a box body 1, a barrel body 2, a door body 6 and a filter device 4.

[0047] Wherein, the box body 1 is provided with a clothes putting port 12; the barrel body 2 is arranged in the box body 1, and the barrel body 2 has a clothes processing cavity in communication with the clothes putting port 12, so that a user can put clothes into the clothes processing cavity through the clothes putting port 12. The door body 6 is connected to the box body 1, and the door body 6 is used to close or open the clothes putting port 12.

[0048] The filtering device 4 comprises a mounting body 41 having a first communication port communicated with the clothes treatment cavity and a filtering screen 42 detachably mounted in the mounting body 41. In this way, during the treatment of clothes, the lint generated in the clothes treatment cavity can enter the mounting body 41 through the first communication port to be filtered by the filtering screen 42 mounted in the mounting body 41.

[0049] The filtering screen 42 is capable of being connected with the door body 6 and rotating with the door body 6, and the filtering screen 42 is extracted from the mounting body 41 when the door body 6 is opened and is inserted into the mounting body 41 when the door body 6 is closed. That is, the filtering screen 42 is capable of being extracted from the mounting body 41 when the door body 6 is opened and is capable of being inserted into the mounting body 41 when the door body 6 is closed.

[0050] In this way, the filtering screen 42 is linked with the door body 6, and the filtering screen 42 can be extracted with the door body 6 when the door body 6 is opened, so that the user can intuitively know the dirt degree of the filtering screen 42 and clean the filtering screen 42 in time, and the cleaning of the filtering screen 42 will not be forgotten, so that the cleanliness of the filtering screen 42 is ensured, and the problem of excessive attachment of lint on the filtering screen 42 and blockage is effectively avoided. In addition, the door body is opened to take clothes after each washing or drying, and the filtering screen 42 is extracted at the same time, and the filtering screen 42 does not need to be additionally detached, so that the operation of the user is more convenient.

[0051] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the filtering screen 42 can be fixedly connected to the door body 6, so that the filtering screen 42 can be linked with the door body 6 at any time. In specific implementation, the filtering screen 42 can be fixed to the door body 6 by means of bonding, screw connection, buckle connection and the like. In order to facilitate the cleaning of the filtering screen 42, the filtering screen 42 can be connected to the door body 6 in a detachable manner, so that the filtering screen 42 can be detached for cleaning, and after cleaning, the filtering screen 42 is mounted on the door body 6, so that the filtering screen 42 can be linked with the door body 6 at any time.

[0052] In other embodiments, the filter screen 42 may not be directly connected to the door body 6, or the filter screen 42 may be detachably connected to the door body 6. For example, the filter screen 42 and the door body 6 are connected magnetically. In specific implementations, a magnetic suction element can be provided on one of the door body 6 and the filter screen 42, and a magnetic induction element can be provided on the other. The user can place the filter screen 42 in the mounting body 41. When the door body 6 is closed, the magnetic suction element and the magnetic induction element are magnetically connected, thus connecting the door body 6 and the filter screen 42. When the door body 6 is opened, the door body 6 will pull the filter screen 42 out of the mounting body 41, allowing the user to observe the degree of dirt on the filter screen 42 and easily remove it from the door body 6 for cleaning. After cleaning, the user can directly place the filter screen 42 into the mounting body 41 for convenient installation. Alternatively, the filter screen 42 can be magnetically attached to the door body 6, and when the door body 6 is closed, the filter screen 42 is inserted into the mounting body 41. In addition, the door 6 and the filter screen 42 are not limited to magnetic connection. They can also be connected by hooks or other means, as long as the filter screen 42 can be pulled out of the mounting body 41 by opening the door 6.

[0053] In some embodiments, the mounting body 41 has an insertion port 413 for inserting a filter screen 42, and the insertion port 413 is positioned facing the door body 6 when the door body 6 is closed. That is, when the door body 6 is closed, the insertion port 413 is positioned facing the door body 6, so that the filter screen 42 can be inserted into the mounting body 41 through the insertion port 413, or pulled out of the mounting body 41 through the insertion port 413.

[0054] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with an installation port 11 that corresponds to and communicates with the insertion port 413. The filter screen 42 is detachably installed in the installation body 41 through the installation port 11 and the insertion port 413. When the door 6 is closed, the installation port 11 is sealed.

[0055] It should be understood that, in order to ensure the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance, the mounting body 41 is usually hidden inside the housing 1. The setting of the mounting port 11 forms a channel structure connecting the inside and outside of the housing 1, so that the filter screen 42 can be inserted into the mounting body 41 installed in the housing 1 through the mounting port 11, and can also be pulled out from the mounting body 41 inside the housing 1 through the mounting port 11.

[0056] It should be noted that the clothing processing equipment provided in this application embodiment can be a washing machine, a washer-dryer combo, or a dryer.

[0057] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the garment processing equipment is a washing machine or a washer-dryer combo. The garment processing equipment includes a cabinet 1, a drum 2, a drain pump 3, and a filter device 4.

[0058] The box body 1 is provided with a laundry feeding opening 12; the tub body 2 is arranged in the box body 1, and the tub body 2 has a laundry treatment cavity in communication with the laundry feeding opening 12; the tub body 2 is provided with a drain opening 20 in communication with the laundry treatment cavity; and the drain pump 3 is connected at the drain opening 20 to drain the water flow in the tub body 2 by using the drain pump 3. In a specific implementation, in order to facilitate smooth drainage of the water in the tub body 2, the drain opening 20 can be arranged at a bottom position of the tub body 2.

[0059] The filter device 4 is arranged between the tub body 2 and the drain pump 3 to filter the water flow drained from the tub body 2 by using the filter device 4, that is, to filter the water flow before entering the drain pump 3, thereby avoiding that the clumped lint generated in the laundry treatment process or the relatively large materials falling from the clothes are accumulated at the drain pump 3 when being drained with the water flow, causing the drain pump 3 to be blocked and resulting in machine operation error.

[0060] Specifically, the filter device 4 includes a mounting body 41 and a filter screen 42; the mounting body 41 is a box-shaped body, and the mounting body 41 is provided with a first communication opening 411 in communication with the drain opening 20 and a second communication opening 412 in communication with the drain pump 3; and the filter screen 42 is detachably mounted in the mounting body 41 and located between the first communication opening 411 and the second communication opening 412. In this way, the water flow drained from the drain opening 20 of the tub body 2 first enters the mounting body 41, is filtered by the filter screen 42, and is then drained by the drain pump 3.

[0061] Specifically, the box body 1 is provided with a mounting opening 11 corresponding to the mounting body 41, and the filter screen 42 is detachably mounted in the mounting body 41 through the mounting opening 11 and located between the first communication opening 411 and the second communication opening 412. That is, the filter screen 42 can be mounted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting opening 11 of the box body 1, or can be detached from the mounting body 41 through the mounting opening 11 of the box body 1. In this way, the filter screen 42 can be periodically detached from the mounting body 41 for cleaning, to ensure the cleanliness of the filter screen 42, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of blockage of the drain pump, and further avoiding that, when the drain pump is cleaned after being blocked, the water flow of the drain pump wets the ground outside, which is troublesome to clean and causes poor user experience.

[0062] In specific implementation, taking a drum washing and drying integrated machine as an example, the cabinet 1 has a front door 13, the front door 13 is provided with a laundry dropping opening 12, and the door body 6 is rotatably installed on the front door 13 and used for closing or opening the laundry dropping opening 12. In order to facilitate the dismounting operation of the filter screen 42, the mounting opening 11 can be arranged on the front door 13 of the cabinet 1. Specifically, the mounting opening 11 can be located in the cover area of the door body 6, and when the door body 6 is closed, the mounting opening 11 on the cabinet 1 can be covered by the door body 6 to avoid the exposure of the mounting opening 11 and improve the appearance of the laundry treatment equipment.

[0063] In addition, due to the arrangement of the filter device 4, the blockage of the drainage pump 3 can be effectively avoided, and in specific implementation, the removable cover plate at the position corresponding to the drainage pump 3 of the front door 13 can be omitted, so that one exposed hole is saved on the surface of the cabinet 1, and the whole is more beautiful.

[0064] It should be noted that in specific implementation, the tub 2 can include an inner tub 21 and an outer tub 22 sleeved outside the inner tub 21, the inner tub 21 forms a laundry treatment cavity inside, and the drainage opening 20 is arranged at the bottom of the outer tub 22. Of course, the tub 2 can also include only one tub, the inner tub of the tub 2 forms a laundry treatment cavity, and the drainage opening 20 is arranged at the bottom of the tub 2.

[0065] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drainage opening 20 of the cabinet 1 is connected with the drainage pump 3 through the drainage pipeline 5, that is, the drainage pipeline 5 is connected between the drainage opening 20 and the drainage pump 3. In specific implementation, the filter device 4 can be arranged on the drainage pipeline 5. Specifically, the drainage pipeline 5 can include a first flexible pipe 51 and a second flexible pipe 52, the mounting body 41 of the filter device 4 has a first communication opening 411 and a second communication opening 412, the first communication opening 411 is communicated with the drainage opening 20 through the first flexible pipe 51, and the second communication opening 412 is communicated with the drainage pump 3 through the second flexible pipe 52. In this way, the flexibility of the installation position of the mounting body 41 can be improved, and the precision requirement of the installation position of the mounting body 41 can be reduced.

[0066] In specific implementation, the first flexible pipe 51 can be a bellows pipe, and the second flexible pipe 52 can be a connecting hose, that is, the first communication opening 411 can be communicated with the drainage opening 20 through the bellows pipe, and the second communication opening 412 can be communicated with the drainage pump 3 through the connecting hose. Of course, in specific implementation, the first communication opening 411 of the mounting body 41 and the drainage opening 20 are not limited to be connected by the bellows pipe, but can also be connected by the connecting hose or other flexible pipes, and the second communication opening 412 of the mounting body 41 and the drainage pump 3 are not limited to be connected by the connecting hose, but can also be connected by the bellows pipe or other flexible pipes.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 5 As shown in the drawings, the laundry treating apparatus includes a door body 6 rotatably connected to the cabinet 1, and the cabinet 1 is provided with a laundry dropping opening 12, and the door body 6 is used to close or open the laundry dropping opening 12. Specifically, the filter screen 42 is connected to the door body 6 and rotates with the door body 6, and when the door body 6 is opened, the filter screen 42 is pulled out of the mounting body 41 through the mounting opening 11, and when the door body 6 is closed, the filter screen 42 is inserted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting opening 11. That is, the filter screen 42 is pulled out of the mounting body 41 with the opening of the door body 6, and the filter screen 42 is inserted into the mounting body 41 with the closing of the door body 6.

[0068] In this way, when the door body 6 is opened, the filter screen 42 can be pulled out together with the door body 6, so that the user can intuitively understand the degree of dirt of the filter screen 42 and clean the filter screen 42 in time, and the cleaning of the filter screen 42 will not be forgotten, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the filter screen 42 and effectively avoiding the problem of blockage of the drain pump 3. Moreover, after each washing or drying is completed, the door body 6 needs to be opened to take out the laundry, at this time the filter screen 42 is pulled out at the same time, without the need for additional action to disassemble the filter screen 42, so that the user operation is more convenient.

[0069] In addition, the conventional scheme of leaving a detachable cover plate at the position corresponding to the drain pump of the front door is not obvious, and most users do not know about this function, and when a problem occurs, it is easy to report to the after-sales department at the first time, which causes the problem of delaying the use of the laundry treating apparatus. In the above embodiments of the present application, the filter screen 42 is connected to the door body 6, and when the door body 6 is opened, the filter screen 42 can be pulled out with the door body 6, which is more intuitive and eye-catching, and the user can intuitively understand the degree of dirt of the filter screen 42 and clean the filter screen 42 in time, so that the filter screen 42 is not easy to be forgotten to be cleaned, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of blockage of the drain pump 3 and not affecting the normal use of the laundry treating apparatus.

[0070] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figure 4 As shown in the drawings, the cabinet 1 has a front door 13, and the laundry dropping opening 12 and the mounting opening 11 are both provided on the front door 13, and the mounting opening 11 is located below the laundry dropping opening 12. Specifically, the filter screen 42 is connected to the side surface of the door body 6 facing the laundry dropping opening 12 and is flush with the mounting opening 11 in the height direction of the laundry treating apparatus. That is, the filter screen 42 connected to the door body 6 is located at the same height position as the mounting opening 11 provided on the cabinet 1, and is arranged in this way to ensure that when the door body 6 is closed, the filter screen 42 can be inserted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting opening 11.

[0071] In addition, the installation opening 11 is arranged below the clothes feeding opening 12, which not only facilitates the arrangement of the drainage opening 20 and the drainage pump 3 on the cabinet 1, but also ensures that the arrangement of the installation opening 11 and the filter screen 42 does not affect the normal operation of the user to take and put clothes through the clothes feeding opening 12. In addition, when the door body 6 is closed, the installation opening 11 on the cabinet 1 can be covered by the door body 6, so as to avoid the exposure of the installation opening 11 and improve the appearance of the clothes treatment equipment.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the filter screen 42 has opposite connecting ends and a plug-in end, the connecting ends are connected with the door body 6, and the plug-in end is suspended away from the door body 6 relative to the connecting ends. In specific implementation, in order to facilitate the smooth insertion of the filter screen 42 into the installation main body 41, the plug-in end of the filter screen 42 can be horizontally suspended away from the door body 6 relative to the connecting ends.

[0073] It should be noted that the "suspension" in the above embodiments means that the plug-in end of the filter screen 42 is formed as a free end and is arranged away from the door body 6 relative to the connecting ends.

[0074] Continuing to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the door body 6 is rotatably connected with the cabinet 1 through a rotating shaft, and the filter screen 42 has opposite first and second side portions, the first side portion is arranged away from the rotating shaft relative to the second side portion, and the first side portion is formed as an arc-shaped structure 421. In this way, during the rotation of the door body 6, the filter screen 42 can be smoothly inserted into the installation main body 41 through the installation opening 11.

[0075] In specific implementation, the installation main body 41 can adopt a rectangular structure, and the installation opening 11 is formed as a rectangular installation opening 11 matching the shape of the installation main body 41. If the filter screen 42 adopts a rectangular structure matching the shape of the installation main body 41, during the rotation of the door body 6, the filter screen 42 cannot be smoothly inserted into the installation main body 41 through the installation opening 11. In the above embodiments of the present application, the side portion of the filter screen 42 away from the rotating shaft is arranged as an arc-shaped structure 421, so as to ensure that the filter screen 42 can be smoothly inserted into the installation main body 41 through the installation opening 11.

[0076] Specifically, by arranging the side portion of the filter screen 42 away from the rotating shaft as an arc-shaped structure 421, the first side portion of the filter screen 42 gradually approaches the second side portion of the filter screen 42 in the direction from the connecting end to the plug-in end, that is, the width of the filter screen 42 gradually narrows in the direction from the connecting end to the plug-in end of the filter screen 42. In this way, during the rotation of the door body 6, the first side portion of the filter screen 42 does not interfere with the installation opening 11 on the cabinet 1, so as to ensure that the filter screen 42 can be smoothly inserted into the installation main body 41.

[0077] Of course, in specific implementation, the shape of the filter screen 42 is not limited to the above definition, and can be reasonably set according to actual conditions, as long as the filter screen 42 can be smoothly inserted into the installation main body 41 through the installation port 11.
