[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0035] The specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different combinations of specific technical features can form different embodiments and technical solutions. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in this application will not be described separately.

[0036] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used merely to distinguish different objects and do not indicate that the objects have the sameness or relationship. It should be understood that the directional descriptions "above," "below," "outside," and "inside" refer to the directions under normal use.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element. "A plurality of" indicates a quantity of two or more.

[0038] In this embodiment, the type of clothing processing equipment is not limited, and can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo, etc., and is not restricted here. Exemplarily, this embodiment uses a dryer as an example for description.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 The garment processing cylinder 10 can be a single-cylinder structure, meaning that the garment processing device has only one cylinder, the garment processing cylinder 10. Of course, in other examples, the garment processing device may also include an outer cylinder, which is located circumferentially outside the garment processing cylinder 10.

[0040] This application describes an example of a garment processing device with a single-tube structure.

[0041] For example, the garment processing drum 10 is generally hollow and cylindrical. The garment processing drum 10 may be made of metal, such as stainless steel, etc., and there is no limitation on this.

[0042] This application provides a garment processing device; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The garment processing equipment includes a housing 11, a garment processing drum 10, and a wireless power supply component.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 5The garment handling tube 10 has a garment handling cavity 10a. The wireless power supply assembly includes a bracket 20 and a conductive wire 30. At least one of the garment handling tube 10 and the housing 11 is provided with the bracket 20. The bracket 20 includes a wire bundle structure 21, and at least a portion of the conductive wire 30 is disposed in the wire bundle structure 21.

[0044] The housing 11 is the exterior component of the garment processing equipment, which can protect the internal garment processing drum 10.

[0045] The clothes handling drum 10 is rotatably disposed within the housing 11. The clothes handling chamber 10a is used for placing and drying clothes, and the clothes handling drum 10 can rotate the clothes. Taking a tumble dryer as an example, the rotation axis of the clothes handling drum 10 is horizontal, and the front side of the clothes handling drum 10 has a clothes inlet, through which the user puts or takes out the clothes handling chamber 10a. During the rotation of the clothes handling drum 10, the clothes are moved from bottom to top, and under the action of gravity, the clothes fall from top to bottom. In this way, the clothes are dispersed, shaken, and their posture is changed under the combined action of the clothes handling drum 10 and gravity.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 Conductive wire 30 is a wire harness capable of conducting electrical energy and electrical signals.

[0047] The fact that at least one of the clothing processing drum 10 and the box 11 is provided with a support 20 means that only the clothing processing drum 10 is provided with a support 20; only the box 11 is provided with a support 20; or both the clothing processing drum 10 and the box 11 are provided with a support 20.

[0048] At least a portion of the conductive wire 30 is disposed in the wire bundle structure 21, meaning that either a portion of the conductive wire 30 is disposed in the wire bundle structure 21, or the entire structure of the conductive wire 30 is disposed in the wire bundle structure 21.

[0049] The wire bundle structure 21 is used to constrain the conductive wire 30. The wire bundle structure 21 can provide support and constraint for the conductive wire 30 located thereon, reduce assembly difficulty, and reduce the risk of displacement and misalignment of the conductive wire 30.

[0050] A wireless power supply component is a structure that provides electrical power and / or signals to the electrical components of a garment handling device wirelessly. For example, a wireless power supply component may be a structure that generates an induced current through electromagnetic induction to provide electrical power and / or signals.

[0051] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The wireless power supply component includes a transmitting module 12 and a receiving module 13. The receiving module 13 is used to receive electromagnetic signals emitted by the transmitting module 12 and generate induced current. At least one of the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 is electrically connected to the conductive wire 30.

[0052] At least one of the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 is electrically connected to the conductive line 30. The number of conductive lines 30 may be the same as or different from the number of both the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13. For example, one of the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 may be provided with conductive lines 30, or both the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 may be provided with conductive lines 30.

[0053] Conductive wire 30 can improve the stability and anti-interference ability of power and / or signal transmission.

[0054] Conductive wire 30 transmits electrical energy and / or signals. For example, if transmitting module 12 is electrically connected to conductive wire 30, then transmitting module 12 can receive electrical energy and / or signals through conductive wire 30; or, for example, if receiving module 13 is electrically connected to conductive wire 30, then receiving module 13 can transmit electrical energy and / or signals to electrical components through conductive wire 30.

[0055] Taking the bracket 20, which includes a first bracket 122 and a second bracket 132, as an example, at least a portion of the transmitting module 12 is disposed on the first bracket 122, which is disposed on the housing 11. The second bracket 132 is disposed on the clothing handling tube 10, and at least a portion of the receiving module 13 is disposed on the second bracket 132. At least one of the first bracket 122 and the second bracket 132 includes a wire harness structure 21. At least one of the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 is provided with a conductive wire 30.

[0056] The fact that at least a portion of the transmitting module 12 is disposed on the first support 122 means that a portion of the structure of the transmitting module 12 is disposed on the first support 122; or, the entire structure of the transmitting module 12 is disposed on the first support 122.

[0057] The fact that at least a portion of the receiving module 13 is disposed on the second support 132 means that a portion of the structure of the receiving module 13 is disposed on the second support 132; or, the entire structure of the receiving module 13 is disposed on the second support 132.

[0058] At least one of the first support 122 and the second support 132 includes a wire harness structure 21. For example, the first support 122 includes a wire harness structure 21 while the second support 132 does not have a wire harness structure 21; or, for another example, the first support 122 does not have a wire harness structure 21 while the second support 132 includes a wire harness structure 21; or, for yet another example, both the first support 122 and the second support 132 include a wire harness structure 21.

[0059] The transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 can achieve wireless connection through electromagnetic induction.

[0060] For example, the transmitting module 12 can be electrically connected to the main control board of the garment processing equipment. The main control board is used to control the operation of the garment processing equipment and supply power to various parts within the garment processing equipment, enabling the circuits of each part to work normally and realize functions such as drying control. For example, the transmitting module 12 is electrically connected to the main control board through the conductive wire 30 to receive the power supplied by the main control board, thereby transmitting electromagnetic signals to the receiving module 13.

[0061] The transmitting module 12 is wirelessly connected to the receiving module 13, meaning that the transmitting module 12 can wirelessly transmit power to the receiving module 13. Thus, the electrical components installed in the clothing handling drum 10 can be electrically connected to the receiving module 13, which supplies power to the components to meet their power needs.

[0062] It should be noted that an electrical component can be a structural element capable of performing an electrical function and / or used in a circuit to perform at least one electrical function. The number of electrical components can be one, two, three, or more.

[0063] The electrical components can be units for detecting the condition of the clothing, as well as other units that can have specific functions to improve drying performance. For example, the unit for detecting the condition of the clothing can be for detecting the temperature, conductivity, etc. of the clothing.

[0064] For example, at least a portion of the receiving module 13 is mounted on the garment processing drum 10 via the second bracket 132. Electrical components, such as units for detecting the state of the garments, can be disposed within the garment processing drum 10 and electrically connected to the receiving module 13 via conductive wire 30 to obtain electrical energy. When the garment processing drum 10 rotates, the receiving module 13 and the electrical components rotate synchronously. The electrical connection between the receiving module 13 and the electrical components is relatively stable, and the receiving module 13 can also receive electrical energy transmitted from the transmitting module 12 during rotation. Thus, the electrical components disposed within the garment processing drum 10 can sense the state of the garments at close range and perform specific functions, thereby improving the working performance of the garment processing equipment. For example, this can improve the judgment performance of the garment processing equipment.

[0065] The garment processing device provided in this application embodiment has two advantages. First, the wireless power supply component enables high reliability by transmitting power wirelessly. Electrical components can be installed in the garment processing drum 10, and the wireless power supply component supplies power to these components, thus facilitating the fulfillment of their power needs and enabling close-range sensing of the garment's condition, thereby improving the overall performance of the garment processing device. Second, at least a portion of the conductive wires 30 are disposed in the wire bundling structure 21. The wire bundling structure 21 constrains the conductive wires 30, providing support and constraint to the conductive wires 30, reducing tangling and other issues during the arrangement of the conductive wires 30, and lowering the difficulty of wiring.

[0066] Understandably, in some examples, the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 can transmit signals in addition to transmitting electrical energy. That is, the clothing information detected by the electrical components can be transmitted to the receiving module 13, and the receiving module 13 can then transmit the information to the transmitting module 12.

[0067] Of course, in other embodiments, the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 may only transmit electrical energy. The clothing processing device may be equipped with a wireless transmission unit for transmitting signals. For example, the receiving module 13 may provide electrical energy to the wireless transmission unit, and the wireless transmission unit may receive clothing information detected by electrical components and transmit it wirelessly.

[0068] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The wire harness structure 21 includes a support plate 211 and two limiting plates 212. The two limiting plates 212 are connected to opposite sides of the support plate 211. At least a portion of the conductive wire 30 is placed on the support plate 211 and located between the two limiting plates 212.

[0069] In this embodiment, the support plate 211 provides support for the conductive wire 30, reducing the risk of the conductive wire 30 collapsing and deforming, and the two limiting plates 212 restrict the range of movement of the conductive wire 30, reducing the risk of the conductive wire 30 deviating.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The wireless power supply component includes a receiving module 13 with a receiving coil 131. The bracket 20 includes a second bracket 132 with a wire bundle structure 21. The second bracket 132 is disposed on the clothing handling tube 10. The receiving coil 131 is disposed on the second bracket 132 and is electrically connected to the conductive wire 30.

[0071] In this embodiment, the receiving coil 131, the second bracket 132, and the conductive wire 30 can all rotate synchronously with the clothing processing drum 10. The receiving coil 131 is electrically connected to the conductive wire 30, and the conductive wire 30 can improve the stability and anti-interference capability of power and / or signal transmission so that power and / or signals can be stably transmitted to electrical components.

[0072] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The wireless power supply component includes a transmitter module 12 disposed in the housing 11. The transmitter module 12 has a transmitter coil 121 and a receiver coil 131 for receiving electromagnetic signals emitted by the transmitter coil 121 and generating induced current.

[0073] Specifically, the transmitting coil 121 generates a changing magnetic field, and the receiving coil 131 generates an induced current through electromagnetic induction, receiving electrical energy from the transmitting coil 121 and outputting electrical energy.

[0074] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 can transmit electrical energy without contact, realizing the transmission of electrical energy between the rotating clothes processing drum 10 and the stationary box 11. The transmission of electrical energy can be achieved without the need for wire connection, which has high reliability.

[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The housing 11 includes a rear plate 111, the clothing handling tube 10 has a rear side wall 10c opposite to the rear plate 111, the transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the rear side wall 10c, and the receiving coil 131 is disposed on the side of the rear side wall 10c facing the rear plate 111.

[0076] It should be noted that the rear panel 111 refers to the component on the rear side of the housing 11 along the front-rear direction.

[0077] The rear side is the side of the garment processing equipment that is furthest from the user after installation.

[0078] The rear side wall 10c of the garment processing drum 10 refers to the side wall of the garment processing drum 10 facing the rear plate 111 in the front-back direction.

[0079] The transmitting coil 121 is located on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the rear sidewall 10c, that is, the transmitting coil 121 is located on the front side of the rear plate 111.

[0080] The receiving coil 131 is disposed on the side of the rear sidewall 10c facing the rear plate 111, that is, the receiving coil 131 is disposed on the rear side of the rear sidewall 10c.

[0081] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the rear sidewall 10c, and the receiving coil 131 is disposed on the side of the rear sidewall 10c facing the rear plate 111. That is, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are opposite each other in the front-back direction. This results in a smaller distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131, which is beneficial for stable and reliable power transmission. The fact that the receiving coil 131 is disposed on the side of the rear sidewall 10c facing the rear plate 111 reduces the probability of clothing in the clothing handling cavity 10a coming into contact with the receiving coil 131.

[0082] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The bracket 20 includes a second bracket 132 with a wire harness structure 21. The second bracket 132 is disposed on the rear side wall 10c of the clothing processing tube 10. The wire harness structure 21 of the second bracket 132 is provided with conductive wires 30.

[0083] In this embodiment, the second bracket 132 is disposed on the rear side wall 10c of the clothing processing tube 10, which facilitates the conductive wire 30 to run from the rear side wall 10c and reduces the probability of the conductive wire 30 interfering with other structural components.

[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The garment processing tube 10 includes a tube body 101 and a rear cover 102. The rear cover 102 is located at the rear end of the tube body 101 and has a rear side wall 10c of the garment processing tube 10. The receiving coil 131 is located on the side of the rear cover 102 away from the tube body 101.

[0085] Specifically, the front of the tube body 101 is open to form a clothing loading port, and the rear end cooperates with the rear cover 102. The tube body 101 and the rear cover 102 together define the clothing processing chamber 10a. Exemplarily, the rear end of the tube body 101 can be detachably connected to the rear cover 102.

[0086] It is understandable that the side of the rear cover 102 away from the cylinder body 101 is sealed to the rear plate 111, and the rear cover 102 can rotate relative to the rear plate 111 to form a dynamic sealing connection.

[0087] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The garment processing equipment includes electrical components. The garment processing cylinder 10 forms a wire hole 10b. The electrical components are disposed inside the garment processing chamber 10a. The second bracket 132 is disposed outside the garment processing chamber 10a. The conductive wire 30 passes through the wire hole 10b and is electrically connected to the electrical components.

[0088] The threading hole 10b connects the garment processing chamber 10a and the outside of the garment processing tube 10. That is, the threading hole 10b penetrates the wall of the garment processing tube 10.

[0089] For example, the thread hole 10b can pass through the body 101 or the back cover 102 of the clothing handling tube 10.

[0090] In this embodiment, the electrical components are disposed within the clothing processing chamber 10a, facilitating synchronous rotation of the electrical components with the clothing processing drum 10. The second support 132 is disposed outside the clothing processing chamber 10a, reducing the risk of clothing and airflow contacting the second support 132. The conductive wire 30 passes through the wire hole 10b and is electrically connected to the electrical components. For example, the conductive wire 30 passes through the wire hole 10b and is electrically connected to the receiving coil 131 and the electrical components. Thus, the wire hole 10b reduces the difficulty of arranging the conductive wire 30 within the clothing processing drum 10.

[0091] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The garment processing device includes a lifting rib 14, which protrudes radially from the circumferential inner wall of the garment processing cavity 10a, and at least a portion of at least one electrical component is disposed within or on the lifting rib 14.

[0092] The lifting rib 14 can contact the clothes inside the clothes processing chamber 10a and drive the clothes to rotate with the clothes processing cylinder 10.

[0093] At least a portion of the electrical component is disposed within the lifting rib 14. This can mean that the entire structure of the electrical component is located within the lifting rib 14, or that only a portion of the electrical component is located within the lifting rib 14.

[0094] At least a portion of the electrical component is disposed on the lifting rib 14. This means that the entire structure of the electrical component may be located on the lifting rib 14, or only a portion of the electrical component may be located on the lifting rib 14.

[0095] The number of electrical components can be one, two, three, or more.

[0096] In this embodiment, at least a portion of at least one electrical component is disposed within the lifting rib 14, which provides a mounting position and protection for the at least one electrical component. The conductive wire 30 is electrically connected to the electrical component and can provide the electrical component with the function of transmitting electrical energy and / or electrical signals.

[0097] In some embodiments, the lifting rib 14 covers the threading hole 10b. By using the lifting rib 14 to shield the threading hole 10b, the risk of fluid, such as airflow, inside the garment processing cavity 10a leaking to the outside through the threading hole 10b can be reduced. The lifting rib 14 can be used to move the garment inside the garment processing cavity 10a, and can also be reused to provide shielding protection for the threading hole 10b, thus protecting the threading hole 10b from contact with the garment to a certain extent and improving reliability.

[0098] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the conductive wire 30 passes through the threading hole 10b and extends into the lifting rib 14. For example, a portion of the conductive wire 30 is located outside the garment handling drum 10 and is electrically connected to the receiving coil 131, while another portion of the conductive wire 30 passes through the threading hole 10b and extends into the lifting rib 14.

[0099] It can be understood that the conductive wire 30 located in the garment processing cavity 10a can be shielded by the lifting rib 14. That is to say, the conductive wire 30 located in the garment processing cavity 10a can extend into the lifting rib 14.

[0100] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the conductive wire 30 is hidden within the lifting rib 14, which reduces the risk of clothing contacting and abrading the conductive wire 30 within the clothing processing cavity 10a, thus solving the problem of difficult wiring of the conductive wire 30 within the clothing processing tube 10. The lifting rib 14 can be reused to provide shielding protection for the conductive wire 30, protecting it from contact with clothing to a certain extent and improving reliability.

[0101] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3The garment processing tube 10 includes a back cover 102, which includes a core 1021, an outer ring structure 1022, and multiple support arms 1023. The outer ring structure 1022 surrounds the outer periphery of the core 1021, and the multiple support arms 1023 are radially distributed along the periphery of the core 1021. The support arms 1023 connect the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022, and the wire harness structure 21 is disposed on the support arm 1023.

[0102] The core 1021 is located approximately in the central area of ​​the back cover 102. The support arm 1023 connects the core 1021 to the outer ring structure 1022, which enables the back cover 102 to have sufficient structural strength and increases the structural stability of the clothing treatment tube 10.

[0103] For example, the support arm 1023 can be integrally formed with the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022; or, the support arm 1023 can be connected to the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022 by means of rivets, welding, threaded connection, etc., without limitation.

[0104] For example, the annular portion 1321 may be disposed on the core portion 1021, that is, the annular portion 1321 is disposed approximately in the central region of the rear cover 102, so that the receiving coil 131 can be coaxially disposed with the clothing handling tube 10, and the stability of the receiving coil 131 rotating with the clothing handling tube 10 can be increased.

[0105] The wire harness structure 21 is disposed on the support arm 1023. It can be that the wire harness structure 21 abuts against the support arm 1023, or the wire harness structure 21 is connected to the support arm 1023.

[0106] In this embodiment, the wire harness structure 21 is disposed on the support arm 1023, and the support arm 1023 provides support for the wire harness structure 21, thereby increasing installation stability.

[0107] In some embodiments, the core 1021, the outer ring structure 1022, and the support arm 1023 together define an air inlet. The air inlet is used to allow airflow into the garment processing chamber 10a.

[0108] In some embodiments, multiple support arms 1023 are distributed circumferentially along the core 1021 to define the space between the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022 as multiple air inlets.

[0109] In this embodiment, multiple air inlets are spaced out by multiple support arms 1023, which not only takes into account the structural strength requirements of the clothes processing drum 10, but also the air volume requirements during the clothes drying process.

[0110] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5The second support 132 includes an annular portion 1321, a receiving coil 131 disposed in the annular portion 1321, and a wire bundle structure 21 connected to the outer periphery of the annular portion 1321.

[0111] Specifically, the receiving coil 131 has a ring-shaped structure, and the shape of the receiving coil 131 can be approximately the same as the shape of the ring portion 1321.

[0112] In this embodiment, the wire bundle structure 21 is connected to the outer periphery of the annular portion 1321 so that the conductive wire 30 can extend to the outer periphery of the receiving coil 131, thereby facilitating the electrical connection of the conductive wire 30 with the electrical components.

[0113] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The second bracket 132 includes a connecting portion 1322, which is connected to the inner circumferential side of the annular portion 1321. The connecting portion 1322 is used to install and fix the second bracket 132. For example, the connecting portion 1322 can be connected to the rear cover 102 of the clothing processing tube 10.

[0114] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The annular portion 1321 has a second annular groove 1321a, which is open on the side facing the rear plate 111, and the receiving coil 131 is housed in the second annular groove 1321a.

[0115] Specifically, the second annular groove 1321a is an annular space defined by the structure of the annular portion 1321 itself. The side of the second annular groove 1321a facing the rear plate 111 is open, which facilitates the relative arrangement of the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121, thereby achieving effective power transmission. The side of the second annular groove 1321a facing the rear cover 102 can be closed to provide support for the receiving coil 131 and reduce the probability of the receiving coil 131 detaching from the second annular groove 1321a.

[0116] The connecting part 1322 can be detachably connected to the rear cover 102. For example, the connecting part 1322 can be connected to the rear cover 102 by screws, which is not limited here.

[0117] In some embodiments, the transmitting module 12 includes a transmitting circuit board, and the transmitting coil 121 is electrically connected to the transmitting circuit board.

[0118] For example, the transmitting circuit board includes a modem circuit and a power supply circuit. The modem circuit can convert signals, and the power supply circuit can transmit electrical energy to the receiving module 13. The transmitting module 12 can be electrically connected to the main control board through the transmitting circuit board.

[0119] In some embodiments, the transmitting circuit board can be disposed on the rear plate 111. For example, the transmitting circuit board can be connected to the rear plate 111 by means of screw connection, soldering or other connection methods, thereby increasing the installation stability of the transmitting circuit board.

[0120] In some embodiments, the transmitting circuit board may also be disposed in the first bracket 122.

[0121] In some embodiments, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are arranged at a distance from each other. In other words, there is a certain gap between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131, and the projection of the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 at least partially overlap with the projection of the receiving coil 131 on a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction.

[0122] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are arranged at a relative interval, which can reduce the impact of the rotating clothes handling drum 10 on the transmitting coil 121 and increase installation safety.

[0123] For example, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 can always remain coaxial and relative to each other, that is, no matter where the clothes handling drum 10 rotates to, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 always remain coaxial and relative to each other. The transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 can also be coaxial and relative to each other at a specific position, that is, the receiving coil 131 can move to the set position and be coaxial and relative to the transmitting coil 121 as the clothes handling drum 10 rotates.

[0124] In some embodiments, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are generally in a ring-shaped structure.

[0125] In some embodiments, the transmitting coil 121, the receiving coil 131, and the clothing handling tube 10 are arranged coaxially.

[0126] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the clothing processing drum 10, regardless of the position of the receiving coil 131 as it rotates with the clothing processing drum 10, the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121 always maintain a relative state. This allows the receiving coil 131 to continuously and stably receive the electrical energy transmitted by the transmitting coil 121, thereby continuously providing power to the electrical components of the clothing processing drum 10. In other words, during the rotation of the clothing processing drum 10, the receiving coil 131 can always provide effective and sufficient power to the electrical components, eliminating the need for additional auxiliary power supply structures and increasing the power supply reliability of the clothing processing equipment.

[0127] In some embodiments, the receiving module 13 includes a receiving circuit board electrically connected to the receiving coil 131.

[0128] For example, the receiving circuit board includes a modem circuit and a power output circuit. The modem circuit can convert signals, and the power output circuit can output electrical energy.

[0129] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The garment processing equipment includes a detection unit 15, which is used to detect the electrical conductivity of the garments in the garment processing chamber 10a. The detection unit 15 is electrically connected to the receiving module 13. Specifically, the detection unit 15 is disposed in the garment processing cylinder 10.

[0130] It is understood that the detection unit 15 is one of the aforementioned electrical components.

[0131] The detection unit 15 can detect the conductivity of the load, such as clothing, within the clothing processing chamber 10a. The clothing processing equipment can determine the degree of drying based on the conductivity detected by the detection unit 15. For example, the detection principle of the detection unit 15 can be as follows: when the load, such as clothing, within the clothing processing chamber 10a comes into contact with the two detection electrodes 151 of the detection unit 15, the detection circuit of the detection unit 15 is activated. Since the resistance values ​​of the load, such as clothing, differ depending on its moisture level, the degree of moisture is related to its conductivity; therefore, the degree of drying is determined based on the conductivity.

[0132] In this embodiment, the detection unit 15 is disposed inside the clothing processing drum 10, and the receiving module 13 provides power to the detection unit 15. The detection electrode 151 of the detection unit 15 can contact the clothing and other loads in the clothing processing chamber 10a, thereby sensing the degree of drying of the clothing at close range and effectively improving the accuracy of judging the degree of drying of the clothing and other loads in the clothing processing drum 10.

[0133] The installation position of the detection unit 15 inside the garment processing drum 10 is not limited.

[0134] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The detection unit 15 includes a detection electrode 151 and a detection circuit that are electrically connected to each other. The detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14, and the detection circuit is disposed inside the lifting rib 14. The detection circuit is electrically connected to the receiving module 13.

[0135] For example, the receiving circuit board may have a detection circuit.

[0136] Specifically, the detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14, which facilitates close contact with loads such as clothing. The detection circuit is disposed inside the lifting rib 14. That is, while the lifting rib 14 can be used to move the clothing in the clothing processing cavity 10a, it can also provide installation space for the detection circuit, thereby reducing the probability of the detection circuit contacting the clothing to a certain extent and increasing the installation and working reliability of the detection unit 15.

[0137] The specific structure of the first support 122 is not limited.

[0138] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The first bracket 122 includes an annular body 1221 and a connecting ear 1222 connected to the annular body 1221. The transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the annular body 1221, and the connecting ear 1222 is connected to the rear plate 111.

[0139] In this embodiment, the annular body 1221 provides installation space for the transmitting coil 121, and the connecting ear 1222 is connected to the rear plate 111. The annular body 1221 and the connecting ear 1222 stabilize the installation position of the transmitting coil 121 in the clothing processing equipment, reduce the probability of damage to the transmitting coil 121, and increase the working stability of the transmitting coil 121.

[0140] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The annular body 1221 has a first annular groove 1221a, which is open on the side facing the clothing processing tube 10, and the transmitting coil 121 is housed in the first annular groove 1221a.

[0141] Specifically, the first annular groove 1221a is an annular space defined by the structure of the annular body 1221 itself. The side of the first annular groove 1221a facing the clothing processing drum 10 is open, which facilitates the relative arrangement of the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131, and realizes effective power transmission. The side of the first annular groove 1221a facing the rear plate 111 can be closed to provide support for the transmitting coil 121 and reduce the probability of the transmitting coil 121 detaching from the first annular groove 1221a.

[0142] The connecting ear 1222 can be detachably connected to the rear plate 111. For example, the connecting ear 1222 can be connected to the rear plate 111 by screws, which is not limited here.

[0143] In some embodiments, the garment processing device includes a rear cover that covers the rear surface of the rear plate 111 and together with the rear plate 111 defines an air supply channel. The rear plate 111 has an air outlet, and the rear cover 102 has an air inlet. The airflow in the air supply channel flows through the air outlet and the air inlet to the garment processing chamber 10a.

[0144] Exemplarily, the garment processing drum 10 also has an air outlet, and the garment processing chamber 10a connects the air inlet and the air outlet. Dry hot air enters the garment processing chamber 10a from the air inlet, and humid hot air leaves the garment processing chamber 10a from the air outlet. The rear plate 111 has a return air inlet, the height of which is lower than the height of the air supply inlet. A rear cover is disposed around the air supply inlet and the return air inlet, and together with the rear plate 111, defines an air supply channel. The air supply channel connects the return air inlet and the air supply inlet, and the dry hot air enters the garment processing chamber 10a through the return air inlet, the air supply channel, and the air supply inlet to dry the clothes.

[0145] For example, the garment processing equipment may also include a base with a drying tunnel inside the base. The air supply channel and the drying tunnel together form a circulating air duct. The drying tunnel is located upstream of the air supply channel along the airflow direction in the circulating air duct. The drying tunnel is connected to the air outlet. The airflow after heat and moisture exchange with the garment can enter the drying tunnel through the air outlet. Condensation, dehumidification and heating are completed in the drying tunnel to form a new dry hot airflow. The new dry hot airflow then enters the garment processing chamber 10a through the return air inlet, the air supply channel and the air supply outlet.

[0146] There is no limit to the number of air outlets; there can be one or more air outlets, for example, two, three, four, or five air outlets.

[0147] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment also includes a heat exchange component located within the drying tunnel. The heat exchange component is used to exchange heat with the airflow within the drying tunnel, thereby dehumidifying and heating. The humid and hot airflow within the garment processing cylinder 10 can enter the drying tunnel through the air outlet and exchange heat with the heat exchange component to be converted into dry hot airflow. The dry hot airflow enters the air supply channel through the return air inlet and then flows back into the garment processing chamber 10a through the air supply outlet and air inlet.

[0148] In some embodiments, the heat exchange assembly includes a condenser and an evaporator, and the garment handling device also includes a compressor and a throttling device. The compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator are connected by pipes to form a heat pump system, and the refrigerant can circulate within the heat pump system. The airflow in the circulating duct exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator and condenser to form a dry hot airflow. The evaporator is used to cool and dehumidify the humid hot airflow from the garment handling chamber 10a into a dry cold airflow; the condenser heats the dry cold airflow into a dry hot airflow and returns it to the garment handling chamber 10a.

[0149] The working principle of a heat pump system is as follows: The compressor draws in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and compresses it into high-pressure gaseous state before discharging it. The discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, where it transfers heat to the airflow, causing it to condense into a high-pressure liquid. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant is then throttled and depressurized by a throttling device, becoming a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture that enters the evaporator. The refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the airflow, becoming a low-pressure gaseous state, which is then drawn back into the compressor. This cycle repeats, achieving heat exchange. In other words, the evaporator cools and dehumidifies the humid airflow from the clothing processing chamber 10a, forming a dry, cool airflow. The condenser heats the dry, cool airflow into a dry, hot airflow, which then flows back into the clothing processing chamber 10a. The dry, hot airflow returning to the clothing processing chamber 10a comes into contact with the damp clothing, forming a humid, hot airflow again, completing one drying cycle. By repeatedly running the drying cycle, circulating airflow is continuously supplied to the clothing processing chamber 10a to dry the clothes.

[0150] For example, both the evaporator and the condenser can be finned tube heat exchangers.

[0151] For example, throttling devices include, but are not limited to, electronic expansion valves.

[0152] In some examples, the garment handling equipment also includes an impeller for driving airflow. Exemplarily, the impeller is located within the drying duct and between the heat exchange components and the return air vent. During the drying process, the impeller drives the airflow through the garments sequentially through the evaporator and condenser before blowing it back onto the garments to create a circulating airflow. The impeller can accelerate airflow and improve drying efficiency.
