Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and in particular to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] This section provides only background information relevant to this disclosure and is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] Currently, garment processing equipment, such as drum-type washer-dryer combos, typically involves heat exchange between cooling water entering through the inlet valve and hot fluid in the circulating air duct. The condensate from the hot fluid is then discharged to the outside of the garment processing equipment.

[0004] During the drying process, cooling water can easily enter the circulating air duct of clothing processing equipment, reducing the drying efficiency of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0015] In some embodiments of this utility model, the clothing treatment device further includes a spraying component, which has a spraying chamber that is connected to the water inlet pipe and the second channel.

[0016] In some embodiments of this utility model, the spraying component includes a first plate and a first enclosure plate connected to each other, one end of the first enclosure plate is connected to the first plate, the first plate is connected to the water inlet pipe, and the first plate is provided with a third through hole communicating with the water inlet pipe.

[0023] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water collecting element is sealed to the heat exchanger body.

[0024] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water collecting element and the heat exchanger body are sealed together by a sealing strip.

[0025] In some embodiments of this utility model, the size of the flow cross section of the first channel is larger than the size of the flow cross section of the second channel. Attached Figure Description

[0055] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, according to an embodiment of this utility model, a clothing processing device 100 is proposed, wherein, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a garment processing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a partial enlarged view of the garment processing device 100 at point A. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the garment processing device 100 from a second-view perspective. Figure 4 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the garment processing device 100 from a third-person perspective (part of the side wall 60 of the circulating air duct 10 is not shown). Figure 5 for Figure 4 The diagram shows a partially enlarged view of the garment processing device 100 at point B. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The diagram shows the structure of the heat exchanger body 31 and the spray element 50 of the clothing treatment device 100 shown. Figure 7 for Figure 6 The diagram shows a second-view structural schematic of the heat exchanger body 31 and spray element 50 of the garment processing device 100 (the first plate 52 of the spray element 50 is not shown). The garment processing device 100 includes a circulating air duct 10, a heat exchanger assembly 30, a water inlet assembly 20, and a washing tub assembly 40. The washing tub assembly 40 has a garment processing chamber 422, which is connected to the circulating air duct 10. The water inlet assembly 20 includes a water inlet pipe 21, on which a water inlet valve 22 is provided. The water inlet valve 22 is used to control the connection of the water inlet pipe 21 from... Cooling water can be supplied to the water inlet pipe 21. The heat exchanger assembly 30 includes a heat exchanger body 31, which is located in the circulating air duct 10. The heat exchanger body 31 has a first channel 311 extending in a first direction and a second channel 312 extending in a second direction. The first channel 311 and the second channel 312 are not connected to each other. The first channel 311 is connected to the circulating air duct 10 for the flow of heating fluid. The second channel 312 is connected to the water inlet pipe 21. The first direction and the second direction are intersected.

[0056] The clothing processing equipment 100 here can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. The dryer can be a drum dryer, that is, the rotation axis of the washing tub assembly 40 is roughly horizontal; the dryer can also be a pulsator dryer, that is, the rotation axis of the washing tub assembly 40 is roughly vertical. There are no restrictions here.

[0057] The heat fluid here can be humid and hot air, which can exchange heat with cooler water at a lower temperature and become condensate. The cooler water is supplied by the inlet pipe 21.

[0058] The specific type of drying equipment in the embodiments of this application is not limited. For example, it can be a pulsator-type drying equipment or a drum-type drying equipment, such as a drum washer-dryer combo or a drum dryer.

[0059] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the first direction in this utility model is Figure 6 The ZZ direction, the second direction is Figure 6 In the YY direction, that is, the first channel 311 is a through hole along the first direction, the second channel 312 is a through hole along the second direction, and the size of the flow cross section of the first channel 311 is larger than the size of the flow cross section of the second channel 312.

[0060] It should be explained that the size of the flow cross section of the first channel 311 being larger than the size of the flow cross section of the second channel 312 means that the size of the hole cross section of the first channel 311 is larger than the size of the hole cross section of the second channel 312. Considering that the shapes of the flow cross sections of the first channel 311 and the second channel 312 can be the same or different, the following will explain in detail with reference to the attached drawings the size of the flow cross section of the first channel 311 being larger than the size of the flow cross section of the second channel 312.

[0061] Continue to refer to Figure 6 As shown, the flow cross-section of the first channel 311 is rectangular, that is, the flow cross-section of the first channel 311 along the YY direction is rectangular, and the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 is rectangular, that is, the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 along the ZZ direction is rectangular. The size of the flow cross-section of the first channel 311 along the YY direction is larger than the size of the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 along the ZZ direction. In this case, the outline of the second channel 312 can be located within the outline of the first channel 311.

[0062] Alternatively, the flow cross-section of the first channel 311 is circular, that is, the flow cross-section of the first channel 311 along the YY direction is circular, and the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 is circular, that is, the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 along the ZZ direction is circular. The size of the flow cross-section of the first channel 311 along the YY direction is larger than the size of the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 along the ZZ direction. In this case, the outline of the second channel 312 can be located within the outline of the first channel 311, and the diameter of the first channel 311 is larger than the diameter of the second channel 312.

[0063] Alternatively, the flow cross-section of the first channel 311 and the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 can also adopt different shapes. For example, the flow cross-section of the first channel 311 can be circular, that is, the flow cross-section of the first channel 311 along the YY direction is circular, and the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 can be rectangular, that is, the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 along the ZZ direction is rectangular. In this case, the size of the flow cross-section of the first channel 311 along the YY direction is larger than the size of the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 along the ZZ direction. In this case, the outline of the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 can be located within the outline of the flow cross-section of the first channel 311, that is, the size of the flow cross-section of the first channel 311 along the YY direction is larger than the size of the flow cross-section of the second channel 312 along the ZZ direction.

[0064] Alternatively, the flow cross section of the first channel 311 can also be elliptical or polygonal, and the flow cross section of the second channel 312 can also be elliptical or polygonal. As long as the outline of the flow cross section of the second channel 312 is located within the outline of the flow cross section of the first channel 311, the size of the flow cross section of the first channel 311 can be larger than the size of the flow cross section of the second channel 312.

[0065] It is important to emphasize that by making the cross-sectional area of ​​the first channel 311 larger than that of the second channel 312, the number of first channels 311 can be reduced, thus reducing the resistance encountered by the hot and humid air during flow. This also increases the number of second channels 312, thereby increasing the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchanger body 31 and improving the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling water and the hot and humid air.

[0066] Continue to refer to Figure 6 As shown, there are two first channels 311, and the two first channels 311 are spaced apart. There are multiple second channels 312, which are independent of each other and arranged in an array. Figure 6 In the middle, the second channel 312 has a multi-row and multi-column structure, and cooling water can flow through each second channel 312, thereby increasing the heat exchange area between the cooling water and the humid air, and thus increasing the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling water and the humid air.

[0067] The heat exchanger body 31 can be implemented using multiple plates spaced apart. A first channel 311 is formed between adjacent plates, and a second channel 312 is provided on each plate. This ensures that the first channel 311 and the second channel 312 are not interconnected and are independent of each other. Figure 6In this heat exchanger, three spaced-apart plates can be used to form the heat exchanger body 31. A first channel 311 is formed between two adjacent plates, and multiple second channels 312 are provided on each plate, thereby forming... Figure 6 The structure of the heat exchanger body 31 in the middle.

[0068] Optionally, the heat exchanger body 31 can be made of materials with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum alloy or copper alloy, so that the heat exchanger body 31 can have high thermal conductivity.

[0069] Alternatively, the heat exchanger body 31 can be composed of more plates. In this case, the heat exchanger body 31 can be provided with three or more second channels 312 to facilitate the flow of hot and humid air.

[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, Figure 8 for Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the garment processing device 100 from a fourth-person perspective. Figure 9 for Figure 8 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the garment processing device 100 along section CC. The washing tub assembly 40 includes an outer tub 41 and an inner tub 42. The outer tub 41 includes a tub bottom 411 and a tub body 413. A portion of the tub bottom 411 is recessed in a direction away from the inner tub 42 to form the sidewall 60 of the circulation duct 10.

[0071] The inner tub 42 is located inside the outer tub 41. The inner tub 42 has a loading port 421 and a clothes handling chamber 422 inside. A portion of the circulating air duct 10 is located in the rear half of the washing tub assembly 40 along the XX direction, where the XX direction is the axial direction of the washing tub assembly 40.

[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the clothing treatment device 100 also includes a spraying component 50, which has a spraying chamber 51. The spraying chamber 51 is connected to the water inlet pipe 21 and the second channel 312. That is, the spraying chamber 51, the water inlet pipe 21, and the second channel 312 are all in a connected state. Cooling water enters the spraying chamber 51 after passing through the water inlet pipe 21, and then enters the second channel 312.

[0073] By providing a spraying element 50, the cooling water from the inlet pipe 21 can be sprayed into the second channel 312. When the cooling water flows through the second channel 312, it can exchange heat with the humid air flowing through the first channel 311. This allows the humid air to exchange heat with the cooling water without direct contact with the cooling water, reducing the chance of cooling water entering the circulating air duct 10 and thus improving the drying efficiency of the clothing processing equipment 100.

[0074] The cooling water here can be low-temperature tap water, which can quickly pass through the heat exchanger body 31 to maintain the low temperature of the cooling water inside the heat exchanger body 31, thereby better exchanging heat with the hot and humid air.

[0075] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the spraying component 50 includes a first plate 52 and a first surrounding plate 53 connected to each other. The first plate 52 has a plate-like structure and a third through hole 521 on it, which is connected to the water inlet pipe 21. The first surrounding plate 52 can be a rectangular cylindrical structure with openings at both ends, and can be formed by connecting four plates in sequence. One end of the first surrounding plate 53 is connected to the first plate 52. The side wall 60 includes a first wall 61, and the other end of the first surrounding plate 53 is connected to the first wall 61. In this case, the first wall 61 and the first plate 52 are arranged relatively parallel to each other, and the first plate 52, the first surrounding plate 53, and the first wall 61 form a spraying cavity 51. The first wall 61 has a fourth through hole 611, which is connected to the second channel 312.

[0076] It should be noted that, as Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple fourth through holes 611. The shape of the fourth through hole 611 can be the same as the shape of the second channel 312. When the second channel 312 is a rectangular hole, the fourth through hole 611 is also a rectangular hole. Alternatively, the shape of the fourth through hole 611 can also be different from the shape of the second channel 312. For example, when the second channel 312 is a rectangular hole, the fourth through hole 611 is a circular hole.

[0077] By providing a fourth through hole 611 on the first wall 61 and connecting the fourth through hole 611 with the second channel 312, the cooling water entering the water inlet assembly 20 can pass through the fourth through hole 611 and enter the second channel 312, introducing the cooling water into the heat exchanger body 31 and realizing heat exchange between the cooling water and the humid air.

[0078] Continue to refer to Figure 7As shown, there are multiple fourth through holes 611, and each fourth through hole 611 is respectively arranged opposite to a second channel 312. That is to say, the number of fourth through holes 611 is the same as the number of second channels 312, and each fourth through hole 611 is arranged opposite to a second channel 312, so that the cooling water can flow into the corresponding second channel 312 in a timely manner after flowing out of the fourth through hole 611.

[0079] It should be noted that the heat exchanger body 31 is fitted to the first wall 61, that is, the heat exchanger body 31 and the first wall 61 are in contact, so that the cooling water can flow out from the fourth through hole 611 as soon as possible and enter the second channel 312.

[0080] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing device 100 also includes a drainage component 70, which includes a first drainage pipe 71 connected to a second channel 312.

[0081] By setting up a drainage component 70, the cooling water flowing out of the second channel 312 can be discharged to the outside of the clothing processing equipment 100, thereby realizing the recycling of the cooling water.

[0082] Optionally, the drainage assembly 70 further includes a drain valve 72, wherein the drain valve 72 is disposed on the first drain pipe 71 and can control the connection of the first drain pipe 71, thereby enabling the discharge of cooling water.

[0083] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the clothing processing device 100 also includes a water collection component 80, which is located on opposite sides of the heat exchanger body 31, and the water collection component 80 is connected to the first drainage pipe 71.

[0084] Here, by setting up a water collection component 80 and placing the water collection component 80 and the spray component 50 on opposite sides of the heat exchanger body 31 along the YY direction, and connecting the water collection component 80 to the first drain pipe 71, the cooling water flowing out of the second channel 312 can be collected through the water collection component 80 and discharged through the first drain pipe 71.

[0085] The water collection element 80 here has a box-shaped structure with an opening at one end, wherein the opening is positioned facing the heat exchanger body 31.

[0086] Optionally, the drainage assembly 70 further includes a second drainage pipe 73, wherein the second drainage pipe 73 is connected to the interior of the inner tub 42, allowing condensate generated after the humid and hot air is condensed to flow through the second drainage pipe 73 to the position of the drain valve 72 and then be discharged.

[0087] Optionally, the sidewall 60 of the circulating air duct 10 also includes a second wall 62 and a third wall 63 connected to each other. The second wall 62 is connected to the first wall 61, and the third wall 63 is arranged opposite to the first wall 61. Specifically, the third wall 63 and the first wall 61 can be arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The water collecting component 80 has an open circumferential edge connected to the third wall 63, so that the water collecting component 80 and the third wall 63 can form an integral sealed structure.

[0088] Optionally, the water collection component 80 and the third wall 63 are integrated into one piece, which can reduce the leakage that is likely to occur when the water collection component 80 and the third wall 63 are separate.

[0089] Optionally, the spraying component 50 and the first wall 61 are integrated into one piece, which can reduce the processing steps of the clothing treatment equipment 100 and reduce the probability of water leakage at the connection between the spraying component 50 and the first wall 61.

[0090] Optionally, the sidewall 60 of the circulating air duct 10 is a one-piece structure, that is, the first wall 61, the second wall 62 and the third wall 63 are a one-piece structure, which can be produced in one piece by injection molding process, thereby improving the production efficiency of the entire outer barrel 41 and reducing the production cost of the outer barrel 41.

[0091] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the water collection component 80 and the heat exchanger body 31 are sealed together, which can reduce the probability of hot and humid air flowing from the circulation duct 10 into the drainage component 70 and prevent circulation air leakage.

[0092] The sealing connection here can be achieved by using a sealing ring structure, with the sealing ring placed on the contact surface between the heat exchanger body 31 and the water collection component 80 to achieve the sealing effect.

[0093] Alternatively, the water collecting element 80 and the heat exchanger body 31 are sealed together by a sealing strip 81, and the sealing effect is achieved by setting a sealing strip 81 between the water collecting element 80 and the heat exchanger body 31.

[0094] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing equipment 100 also includes a fan assembly 91 and a drying assembly 92. The drying assembly 92 is provided with a drying tunnel and a heating element is provided in the drying tunnel to further heat the condensed airflow. The fan assembly 91 is provided with a fan wheel. The rotation of the fan wheel can generate negative pressure at the inlet of the drying tunnel to draw the airflow in the circulating air duct 10 into the drying tunnel, providing power for the flow of airflow.

[0095] It should be noted that the circulating air duct 10 includes multiple components. The interior of the drying component 92 and the interior of the clothes handling chamber 422 are both part of the circulating air duct 10. Another part is located in the heat exchange chamber between the inner tub 42 and the outer tub 41. The heat exchanger body 31 is located in the heat exchange chamber.

[0096] The movement of hot and humid air Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown by the first arrow 101, the hot and humid air flows out of the clothes handling chamber 422 of the inner tub 42 and enters the drying assembly 92 for heating. The heated airflow enters the circulation duct 10 located at the rear of the washing tub assembly 40, where it undergoes sufficient heat exchange with the cooling water. The heat-exchanged airflow then enters the clothes handling chamber 422, where it circulates under the action of the fan assembly 91.

[0097] The flow of cooling water is like Figure 1 As shown by the second arrow 102, after entering through the inlet valve 22, the cooling water sequentially passes through the inlet pipe 21 of the inlet assembly 20, the spray chamber 51, the second channel 312, the water collector 80, and the first drain pipe 71 before being discharged through the drain valve 72, thus achieving the discharge of cooling water. In addition, the condensate generated after heat exchange with humid air can also be discharged through the drain valve 72.
