[0037] As described in the background, the laundry treating apparatus is an apparatus for performing various treating operations on laundry. In the related art, the laundry treating apparatus includes a drying module including an impeller, a moisture absorbing and removing member, a drying air duct, a first driving motor, and a second driving motor, wherein the impeller is installed in the drying air duct and is rotatable in the drying air duct to flow air in the drying air duct, the moisture absorbing and removing member is installed in the drying air duct and is movable in the drying air duct to absorb moisture, the first driving motor is drivingly connected with the impeller, and the second driving motor is drivingly connected with the moisture absorbing and removing member. However, the above-described driving method requires two driving motors, which occupies a lot of space.

[0038] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 In order to solve the above problems, according to one aspect of the present application, the embodiments of the present application provide a drying module, the drying module includes a moisture absorbing and removing member 100, an air circulating member 200, and a drying air duct 300, the moisture absorbing and removing member 100 and the air circulating member 200 are both installed in the drying air duct 300; the drying module further includes a driving assembly 500, the driving assembly 500 includes a driving member 510 and an output member 520, one end of the output member 520 is drivingly connected with the driving member 510, and the other end of the output member 520 is connected with the moisture absorbing and removing member 100 and the air circulating member 200.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present application, the drying module is used in a clothes treatment device, such as a clothes dryer. The drying module further comprises a base 400, and a drying air duct 300 is arranged on the base 400 and is made of metal (such as galvanized steel plate) or plastic. The shape and size of the drying air duct 300 can be determined according to the actual requirements of the drying module, and are not limited herein. The air circulation member 200 can be an impeller or a fan and is capable of rotating in the drying air duct 300 to drive air to flow in the drying air duct 300. Some components of the moisture absorption and removal member 100 are capable of rotating in the drying air duct 300 and are capable of absorbing moisture. The driving member 510 is a driving motor or a driving motor, and the output member 520 can be a single output shaft. The output shaft is mounted on the driving member 510 and is capable of rotating under the driving action of the driving member 510. The air circulation member 200 and the moisture absorption and removal member 100 are drivingly connected to the output shaft.

[0040] In the present application, the driving member 510 is drivingly connected to the air circulation member 200 and the moisture absorption and removal member 100 through the output member 520, which means that the driving of two key components can be achieved through one driving assembly 500. This design reduces the number of driving motors, which not only helps to make the overall structure of the drying module more compact, thereby reducing the size of the drying module in the width direction, length direction or height direction, but also reserves space for other components, effectively improving the space utilization efficiency of the drying module, and at the same time, helps to reduce costs. In addition, the air circulation member 200 and the moisture absorption and removal member 100 are driven by the same driving assembly 500, which makes the rotation of the air circulation member 200 and the moisture absorption and removal member 100 more synchronized and coordinated, thereby improving the coordination of the drying module.

[0041] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment, the output member 520 comprises a first output shaft 521 and a second output shaft 522. The first output shaft 521 is drivingly connected to the moisture absorption and removal member 100, and the second output shaft 522 is drivingly connected to the air circulation member 200.

[0042] In the present embodiment, the first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 522 can be located on the same side of the driving member 510. In other embodiments, the first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 522 can be located on opposite sides of the driving member 510.

[0043] When one of the first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 522 fails, the other one can still work normally, thereby avoiding the complete paralysis of the entire drying module and effectively enhancing the reliability of the drying module. At the same time, the structure design of the double output shafts also facilitates the separate maintenance and disassembly of the air circulation member 200 and the moisture absorption and removal member 100, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance and disassembly operations.

[0044] Referring toFigures 1 to 6 In an embodiment, the drying module further comprises a transmission member 600, which is drivingly connected between the first output shaft 521 and the moisture absorbing and removing member 100.

[0045] In the present embodiment, the transmission member 600 can be a gear transmission structure, a belt transmission structure or a chain transmission structure. On the one hand, as an intermediate link connecting the first output shaft 521 and the moisture absorbing and removing member 100, the transmission member 600 can optimize the power transmission path. For example, by using a suitable belt transmission structure and reasonably selecting the type of belt (such as a synchronous belt) and the degree of tension, the energy loss in the power transmission process can be reduced, and the power generated by the driving member 510 can be efficiently transmitted to the moisture absorbing and removing member 100, thereby improving the energy utilization rate of the entire drying module. On the other hand, in the case where the rotational speed or torque of the first output shaft 521 may fluctuate, the transmission member 600 can play a buffering and stabilizing role, making the operation of the moisture absorbing and removing member 100 more stable. In addition, during the operation of the drying module, if the moisture absorbing and removing member 100 encounters a sudden overload, the transmission member 600 can also play a certain protective role, avoiding damage to the driving member 510 due to overload, and reducing the possibility of damage to the moisture absorbing and removing member 100 due to excessive torque.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment, the transmission member 600 comprises a transmission wheel 610 and a transmission belt 620, the transmission wheel 610 is sleeved on the first output shaft 521; the moisture absorbing and removing member 100 comprises a moisture absorbing and removing body 110 and a driving shaft 120 for driving the moisture absorbing and removing body 110 to rotate, the transmission belt 620 is sleeved on the transmission wheel 610 and the outer ring of the driving shaft 120.

[0047] In the present embodiment, the transmission wheel 610 is coaxial with the first output shaft 521 and is fixedly sleeved and installed on the first output shaft 521; in other embodiments, the transmission wheel 610 can also be an integral molded part with the first output shaft 521.

[0048] The moisture absorbing and desorbing member 100 is a desiccant rotating disc structure, and the desiccant rotating disc in the desiccant rotating disc structure is a moisture absorbing and desorbing body 110. The desiccant rotating disc can be a honeycomb or corrugated rotating disc loaded with a moisture absorbent, which can adsorb and desorb the absorbed water vapor to realize repeated desorption and regeneration. The desiccant rotating disc includes inorganic / organic fiber carriers (such as ceramic, glass fiber, MOFs, COFs, cordierite, etc.), and the fiber carriers are coated with a molecular sieve and other moisture absorbents. The moisture absorbents are uniformly distributed between the fiber carriers and the surface of the fiber carriers to realize adsorption of the moisture in the air flow. The moisture absorbent can be, for example, a zeolite, a modified / synthetic zeolite, a molecular sieve (including but not limited to a single-crystal molecular sieve or a mixed-crystal molecular sieve such as an A-type molecular sieve, an X / Y-type molecular sieve, a ZSM molecular sieve, a Beta molecular sieve, etc.), a high-molecular-weight moisture absorbent, an alkali metal aluminosilicate (13X molecular sieve), lithium chloride, silica gel, modified silica gel, activated alumina, and other materials with moisture absorption performance.

[0049] Meanwhile, the driving shaft 120 is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the moisture absorbing and desorbing body 110 to drive the rotation of the moisture absorbing and desorbing body 110. In other embodiments, the transmission belt 620 can also be replaced by a transmission chain, which is sleeved on the outer ring of the driving shaft 120 and the transmission wheel 610.

[0050] In addition, the moisture absorbing and desorbing member 100 further includes a mounting shell 130, which is divided into an adsorption zone (or a moisture absorbing zone) and a regeneration zone (or a desorption zone), and the moisture absorbing and desorbing body 110 is arranged in the mounting shell 130 as long as it can function to absorb and remove moisture.

[0051] The shape of the mounting shell 130 can be designed according to actual working conditions, and it only needs to include at least two functional zones of the moisture absorbing zone and the regeneration zone. The shape of each functional zone can also be designed according to actual needs, and it can be a square, a triangle, a circle, or a sector, as long as the moisture absorbing zone and the regeneration zone are isolated from each other. In some embodiments, the sector can more effectively and reasonably utilize the space.

[0052] The shape of the moisture absorbing and desorbing body 110 is not limited in the application, and it can be a polygon such as a triangle or a square, or a wheel disc. The design of the wheel disc-shaped moisture absorbing and desorbing body 110 can make the wheel disc move circularly between the moisture absorbing zone and the regeneration zone. The part of the wheel disc moving to the moisture absorbing zone adsorbs the moisture in the air, and then the part of the wheel disc adsorbing the moisture moves to the regeneration zone for desorption of the moisture. The part of the wheel disc after desorption moves to the moisture absorbing zone again to adsorb the moisture, so as to repeatedly remove the moisture in the air and achieve the effect of moisture absorption and desorption.

[0053] In the operation of the drying module, the air in the drying air duct 300 is dehumidified by the rotating dehumidification body 110 in the drying air duct 300. Compared with the static dehumidification body 110, the rotating dehumidification body 110 can not only increase the contact area between the dehumidification body 110 and the air, thereby improving the dehumidification efficiency, but also promote the diffusion of the absorbed moisture in the dehumidification body 110, thereby avoiding the situation that some parts of the dehumidification body 110 are saturated with moisture while other parts are not fully utilized, and ensuring the effective performance of the dehumidification body 110 as a whole.

[0054] The transmission belt 620 not only can absorb and buffer the impact and vibration caused by the start, stop or load change of the driving member 510, thereby effectively reducing the impact of such impact force on the driving shaft 120 and the dehumidification body 110, and further protecting the driving shaft 120 and the dehumidification body 110, but also facilitates installation and maintenance. In addition, by changing the size of the transmission wheel 610 or the position of the transmission belt 620 on the transmission wheel 610, the rotation speed of the dehumidification body 110 can be adjusted. In addition, when the dehumidification body 110 is subjected to excessive resistance (such as the internal rotating wheel being stuck by foreign matter), the transmission belt 620 may slip. Such slipping can avoid damage to the driving member 510 and other transmission components due to overload, thereby protecting the components.

[0055] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 In an embodiment, the dehumidification body 110 is coaxial with the driving shaft 120 and perpendicular to the direction of gravity. The above design can enable the dehumidification body 110 to be installed vertically in the drying air duct 300, which helps to increase the contact area between the dehumidification body 110 and the air in the drying air duct 300, thereby effectively improving the dehumidification efficiency of the dehumidification body 110.

[0056] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment, the driving member 510 and the first output shaft 521 are located outside the drying air duct 300. The drying air duct 300 is provided with an opening 310, and part of the structure of the transmission belt 620 passes through the opening 310 into the drying air duct 300.

[0057] By arranging the driving member 510 and the first output shaft 521 outside the drying air duct 300, the driving member 510 and the first output shaft 521 can work in a normal temperature environment, avoiding the direct influence of high temperature in the drying air duct 300 on the driving member 510 and the first output shaft 521, effectively prolonging the service life of the driving member 510 and the first output shaft 521. Meanwhile, by opening the opening 310 to allow part of the structure of the transmission belt 620 to pass into the drying air duct 300, the transmission belt 620 can be kept dry, thus ensuring the friction performance and elasticity of the transmission belt 620 and prolonging the service life of the transmission belt 620, and the drying module can be more compact to some extent, reducing the overall volume of the drying module.

[0058] With reference to Figure 1 and Figures 7 to 9 In an embodiment, a blocking member 700 is arranged in the opening 310, and the blocking member 700 blocks the opening 310. The blocking member 700 is provided with two through openings 710 arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the driving shaft 120. The transmission belt 620 passes in and out of the drying air duct 300 through the two through openings 710.

[0059] In the embodiment, the drying air duct 300 is a closed air duct, and the connecting line direction of the two through openings 710 is parallel to the direction of gravity. The blocking member 700 can not only control the heat loss in the drying air duct 300 at a low level, thus saving energy and ensuring the drying effect, but also effectively prevent external impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the drying air duct 300, ensuring the cleanliness of the drying air duct 300. In addition, the two through openings 710 arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the driving shaft 120 can position and guide the transmission belt 620, limit the deviation of the transmission belt 620, and make the transmission belt 620 pass in and out of the drying air duct 300 along a predetermined path, thus ensuring the normal operation of the transmission belt 620.

[0060] With reference to Figure 1 and Figures 7 to 9 In an embodiment, the inner wall surface of the through opening 710 is provided with a sealing structure 720, and the sealing structure 720 is in interference fit with the transmission belt 620.

[0061] In the embodiment, the sealing structure 720 can be a gasket, a brush, or a rubber curtain, etc. The through opening 710 has a plurality of inner wall surfaces, and the sealing structure 720 is fixedly installed or integrally formed on the plurality of inner wall surfaces. The sealing structure 720 can strengthen the sealing effect of the drying air duct 300, not only control the heat loss in the drying air duct 300 at a lower level, thus better saving energy and ensuring the drying effect, but also effectively prevent external impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the drying air duct 300 to the greatest extent, ensuring the cleanliness of the drying air duct 300.

[0062] Referring to Figure 1 and Figures 7 to 9 In an embodiment, the blocking member 700 is detachably mounted on the drying air duct 300. In the embodiment, the blocking member 700 is detachably mounted on the drying air duct 300 by magnetic attraction, plug-in, screw connection or clamping.

[0063] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment, the first output shaft 521 is located on the side of the second output shaft 522 close to the driving shaft 120. The above design can shorten the transmission path of the transmission belt 620, thereby shortening the length of the transmission belt 620, which helps to reduce the cost, improve the transmission efficiency, and make the structure of the drying module more compact.

[0064] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment, the axis of the first output shaft 521 is parallel to the axis of the driving shaft 120. The above design not only can further shorten the transmission path of the transmission belt 620, but also can ensure the efficiency of power transmission, and ensure the accuracy and stability of transmission.

[0065] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment, the air circulating member 200 is an impeller, and the impeller is sleeved and mounted on the second output shaft 522.

[0066] In the embodiment, the impeller is sleeved and mounted on the second output shaft 522 by key connection, interference fit, bearing or coupling. The above design not only can improve the stability of the rotation of the air circulating member 200, but also reduces the additional connecting components and complex transmission structure, so that the drying module can be more compact. In other embodiments, the air circulating member 200 can also be a fan, and the air circulating member 200 can also be driven connected with the second output shaft 522 by adopting a gear transmission structure, a belt transmission structure or a chain transmission structure.

[0067] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment, the first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 522 are coaxial and oppositely arranged.

[0068] The above design not only can realize bidirectional power output of the driving assembly 500 in a relatively small axial space; compared with the design of non-coaxial double output shafts, the layout is more compact, which reduces the horizontal space occupied by the driving assembly 500 in the drying module, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the drying module. At the same time, the coaxial and opposite double output shaft structure can provide relatively symmetrical power output, thereby realizing torque balance, and further improving the stability and reliability of the operation of the air circulating member 200 and the moisture absorbing and removing member 100.

[0069] Referring toFigures 1 to 6 In an embodiment, the first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 522 rotate independently of each other.

[0070] In the embodiment, the driving member 510 can be a dual-shaft extension permanent magnet synchronous motor, which has two shaft extensions as output shafts, and usually has one rotor and one stator inside; in terms of motor control, advanced independent control technology is adopted, such as dual-vector control or multi-degree-of-freedom control method; through setting multiple independent control windings on the motor stator winding or adopting a complex inverter topology structure, the magnetic field and the current corresponding to the first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 522 can be independently controlled, so that the rotation of the first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 522 is independent of each other. In other embodiments, the driving member 510 can also be a dual-output shaft brushless DC motor or a dual-output shaft switched reluctance motor.

[0071] Since the first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 522 can rotate independently of each other, the drying module can have multiple operating modes. For example, in some cases, only the air circulation member 200 needs to be operated, and the moisture removal member 100 is stationary; in other cases, only the moisture removal member 100 needs to be operated, and the air circulation member 200 is stationary. The first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 522 used in combination can adjust the operating mode of the drying module according to the actual use demand, thereby meeting the diversified needs of users.

[0072] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment, the driving member 510 is a dual-rotor motor, and the first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 522 are respectively connected to a rotor.

[0073] In the embodiment, the dual-rotor motor is usually composed of one stator and two inner and outer rotors; the two rotors are located inside and outside the stator, forming a nested structure, and can rotate independently when operating; the working principle of the dual-rotor motor is based on the interaction of magnetic fields; the two rotors are respectively controlled by independent magnetic fields, and greater torque and power are generated through the interaction between the magnetic fields. The first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 522 are respectively and correspondingly arranged with the two rotors, and can be connected by interference fit, key connection or flange connection.

[0074] The dual-rotor motor arranged can be simultaneously driven and connected with the air circulation member 200 and the moisture removal member 100, which not only reduces the number of driving motors, but also enables the rotation speed and direction of the air circulation member 200 and the moisture removal member 100 to be freely changed without affecting each other, thereby meeting different use demands.

[0075] Referring to Figures 1 to 9According to another aspect of the present application, the embodiments of the present application further provide a clothes processing apparatus, which comprises the drying module as described above.

[0076] In the embodiments of the present application, the clothes processing apparatus is a clothes dryer. In the present application, the driving member 510 is drivingly connected to the air circulation member 200 and the moisture absorption and removal member 100 through the output member 520, which means that the driving of the two key components can be realized through one driving assembly 500. This design reduces the number of driving motors, which not only helps to make the overall structure of the drying module more compact, so that the size of the drying module in the width direction, length direction or height direction can be reduced, but also reserves space for other components, effectively improving the space utilization efficiency of the drying module.

[0077] In summary, the drying module and the clothes processing apparatus provided by the embodiments have at least the following beneficial technical effects: in the present application, the driving member 510 is drivingly connected to the air circulation member 200 and the moisture absorption and removal member 100 through the output member 520, which means that the driving of the two key components can be realized through one driving assembly 500. This design reduces the number of driving motors, which not only helps to make the overall structure of the drying module more compact, so that the size of the drying module in the width direction, length direction or height direction can be reduced, but also reserves space for other components, effectively improving the space utilization efficiency of the drying module. At the same time, it also helps to reduce the cost. In addition, the air circulation member 200 and the moisture absorption and removal member 100 are driven by the same driving assembly 500, which makes the rotation of the air circulation member 200 and the moisture absorption and removal member 100 more synchronous and coordinated, improving the cooperativity of the drying module.

[0078] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and should not be used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
