The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0054] Referring to Figure 14 The laundry treating apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a laundry treating drum 3 and the lifting rib assembly in any one of the embodiments of the present application. The laundry treating drum 3 has a laundry treating cavity 3a. The lifting rib 1 is arranged in the laundry treating cavity 3a.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, the type of the laundry treating apparatus is not limited, which can be a clothes dryer or a washer-dryer, etc., and is not limited herein. Exemplarily, the laundry treating apparatus is taken as a clothes dryer for illustration.

[0056] The laundry treating drum 3 is rotatable, the laundry treating cavity 3a can be used to place and dry loads such as clothes, and the laundry treating drum 3 can drive the clothes to rotate.

[0057] Exemplarily, the laundry treating drum 3 is taken as a drum-type clothes dryer for illustration, the rotation axis of the laundry treating drum 3 is along the horizontal direction, the front side of the laundry treating drum 3 has a clothes feeding opening communicating with the laundry treating cavity 3a, and the user feeds or takes out the clothes from the clothes feeding opening to the laundry treating cavity 3a. In the rotation process of the laundry treating drum 3, the clothes are driven to move from the lower side to the upper side, and the clothes fall from the upper side to the lower side under the action of gravity, so that the clothes are dispersed, beaten and changed in posture under the joint action of the laundry treating drum 3 and gravity.

[0058] Referring to Figure 14 The laundry treating drum 3 can be a single-drum structure, that is, the laundry treating apparatus has only the laundry treating drum 3 as a drum body.

[0059] In other examples, the laundry treating apparatus can further include an outer drum arranged at the circumferential outer side of the laundry treating drum 3.

[0060] The embodiments of the present application are described by taking the laundry treating apparatus with a single-drum structure as an example.

[0061] Exemplarily, the laundry treatment drum 3 is substantially in a hollow cylindrical shape. The laundry treatment drum 3 can be made of metal material, such as stainless steel material, without limitation.

[0062] Exemplarily, the lifting rib 1 can be disposed on the circumferential surface of the laundry treatment cavity 3a, and the lifting rib 1 protrudes radially from the circumferential surface of the laundry treatment cavity 3a. Specifically, the lifting rib 1 can contact the laundry in the laundry treatment cavity 3a and drive the laundry to rotate with the laundry treatment drum 3. For example, the laundry moves upward under the action of the lifting rib 1, and then moves downward under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, and so on. In this way, the laundry constantly changes its posture in the laundry treatment cavity 3a.

[0063] It can be understood that the circumferential surface of the laundry treatment cavity 3a is the side surface around the rotation axis of the laundry treatment drum 3.

[0064] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 14 and Figure 16 , the laundry treatment apparatus includes a cabinet 6, and the laundry treatment drum 3 is rotatably disposed in the cabinet 6.

[0065] The cabinet 6 is used to accommodate structural members such as the laundry treatment drum 3, and the cabinet 6 serves as an appearance component of the laundry treatment apparatus and protects the laundry treatment drum 3.

[0066] In some embodiments, the cabinet 6 can be substantially in a hexahedral shape, such as a square or cuboid shape.

[0067] Referring to Figures 1-2 , the present application provides a lifting rib assembly, which includes the lifting rib 1 and the power receiving device 2. The power receiving device 2 is used to detect a parameter of a load in the laundry treatment cavity 3a and / or process the load; at least part of the power receiving device 2 is embedded in the lifting rib 1, and the power receiving device 2 and the lifting rib 1 together constitute an insert injection molding structure.

[0068] The load in the laundry treatment cavity 3a includes but is not limited to laundry and the like, and the parameter can be used to represent the washing and / or drying state of the load such as laundry.

[0069] The power receiving device 2 is a structural member capable of achieving an electrical function and / or used in an electrical circuit to achieve at least one electrical function. The power receiving device 2 can receive power and be used to detect a parameter of a load and / or process the load.

[0070] The parameter includes but is not limited to at least one of temperature, electrical conductivity, and pressure and the like.

[0071] The structure of the power receiving device 2 for detecting the temperature, electrical conductivity, and pressure parameters is not limited, and exemplarily, the power receiving device 2 can detect the temperature through a temperature sensor, detect the electrical conductivity through an electrical conductivity sensor, and detect the pressure through a pressure sensor.

[0072] The manner in which the power receiving device 2 handles the load includes, but is not limited to, heating the load, generating ozone to disinfect and / or emitting ultraviolet light to disinfect, and the like.

[0073] The structure of the power receiving device 2 for heating the load is not limited, and the power receiving device 2 can heat the load by a resistive heating module, an infrared heating module, or a graphene heating module, for example.

[0074] The structure of the power receiving device 2 for generating ozone and ultraviolet light is not limited, and the power receiving device 2 can generate ozone by a known ozone-generating module or emit ultraviolet light by an ultraviolet light-emitting module.

[0075] As an example, the parameters include, but are not limited to, at least one of temperature and electrical conductivity, that is, the power receiving device 2 can be used to detect at least one of temperature and electrical conductivity. The power receiving device 2 can be used to detect one of temperature and electrical conductivity, and the power receiving device 2 can also be used to detect temperature and electrical conductivity, for example. For ease of description, the present application is described by taking drying clothes as an example. If the temperature detection is not accurate enough, the temperature distribution in the clothes treatment cavity is uneven, which can easily lead to insufficient drying or over-drying, and the problem of uneven drying of clothes. The temperature is high, which can damage the fibers of the clothes, cause the clothes to deform, fade, or shorten the service life, and the like. Therefore, the temperature has a greater impact on the drying effect of the clothes. The electrical conductivity is related to the water content of the clothes, and the electrical conductivity detection is not accurate enough, which can lead to inaccurate detection of the water content of the clothes, and can also easily cause problems such as insufficient drying or over-drying.

[0076] The power receiving device 2 is arranged on the lifting rib 1, and the power receiving device 2 can directly contact the load such as clothes in the clothes treatment cavity 3a, and can judge the drying degree of the clothes through the temperature of the clothes or the humidity of the clothes, for example. For example, the power receiving device 2 can be used to detect the temperature, and the drying degree of the clothes can be judged through the temperature, so as to avoid insufficient drying or over-drying. For another example, the power receiving device 2 can detect the electrical conductivity, and the water content of the clothes can be judged through the electrical conductivity, so as to avoid over-drying or insufficient drying. For another example, the power receiving device 2 can detect the temperature of the clothes and the electrical conductivity of the clothes, and thus the accuracy of the judgment can be further improved. In this way, the lifting rib 1 provides a mounting position for the power receiving device 2, so that the power receiving device 2 can closely contact the clothes and other loads in the clothes treatment cavity 3a, and the accuracy of judging the drying degree of the clothes can be improved.

[0077] The power receiving device 2 and the reinforcing rib 1 jointly constitute an insert injection molding structure, which means that the power receiving device 2 is used as an insert and formed through an insert injection molding process. Specifically, the power receiving device 2 is placed in an injection mold as an insert, and then material is injected into the injection mold. After the material cools and solidifies, the reinforcing rib 1 is formed. In this way, at least part of the power receiving device 2 is embedded in the reinforcing rib 1.

[0078] The power receiving device 2 and the reinforcing rib 1 jointly constitute an insert injection molding structure, which means that the power receiving device 2 is used as an insert and formed through an insert injection molding process. Specifically, the power receiving device 2 is placed in an injection mold as an insert, and then material is injected into the injection mold. After the material cools and solidifies, the reinforcing rib 1 is formed. In this way, at least part of the power receiving device 2 is embedded in the reinforcing rib 1.

[0079] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2-13 , the power receiving device 2 includes a detection unit 21, and the detection unit 21 includes two detection electrodes 211. The detection electrodes 211 have positioning structures 211a, which are used for positioning cooperation with the injection mold of the reinforcing rib 1.

[0080] The detection unit 21 can be used for detecting electrical conductivity.

[0081] For a single detection unit 21, one of the two detection electrodes 211 is a positive electrode, and the other is a negative electrode. The principle of the detection unit 21 can include that a load in the clothes treatment cavity 3a contacts the positive electrode and the negative electrode, so that an electrical conductivity detection circuit is turned on. The resistance values of loads with different moisture levels are different. That is, the moisture level of the load is related to the electrical conductivity, and the drying degree is determined according to the electrical conductivity.

[0082] The positioning cooperation between the positioning structure 211a and the injection mold means that the positioning structure 211a cooperates with a positioning part of the injection mold, which is used to limit the detection electrode 211 to a set position of the injection mold.

[0083] In this embodiment, during the insert injection molding process, the detection electrode 211 is placed in the injection mold and positioned by the positioning structure 211a. This avoids displacement or deformation of the detection electrode 211 under the impact of the material, and can improve the yield.

[0084] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3-10 , the positioning structure 211a has a hole structure 211aa or a groove structure 211ab with an opening.

[0085] The positioning structure 211a is a space defined by the physical structure of the detection electrode 211, specifically, a positioning column of the injection mold can be inserted into the hole-shaped structure 211aa or the slot-shaped structure 211ab to achieve plug-in positioning.

[0086] As an example, the positioning structure 211a is a hole-shaped structure 211aa, which can be a through hole penetrating through both ends along the extension axis of the positioning structure 211a, or a blind hole with one end closed and the other end penetrating along the extension axis of the positioning structure 211a. The hole-shaped structure 211aa has one or two openings.

[0087] As an example, the positioning structure 211a is a slot-shaped structure 211ab with an opening, which means that at least one end of the positioning structure 211a along the extension axis has an opening, and also has an opening along the direction perpendicular to the extension axis. That is, the slot-shaped structure 211ab has two openings or three openings.

[0088] In this embodiment, the positioning structure 211a is a hole-shaped structure 211aa or a slot-shaped structure 211ab with an opening, and the positioning structure 211a is simple in form. In the insert injection molding process, the positioning column of the injection mold can be inserted into the hole-shaped structure 211aa or the slot-shaped structure 211ab, and the installation method is simple. Moreover, the positioning structure 211a is a space defined by the physical structure of the detection electrode 211, which can reduce the material of the detection electrode 211, and the injection mold can not need to be provided with a hole or a slot for positioning, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty.

[0089] The detection electrode 211 can be made of a conductive material, for example, the detection electrode 211 is made of a metal material, such as stainless steel.

[0090] In some embodiments, the detection electrode 211 can be an integrally formed structure. The detection electrode 211 has good strength.

[0091] In some embodiments, the detection electrode 211 is a sheet metal structure.

[0092] The sheet metal structure refers to a structure formed by cold working such as stamping, shearing or bending of a metal plate.

[0093] As an example, the hole-shaped structure 211aa or the slot-shaped structure 211ab can be formed on the detection electrode 211 by stamping.

[0094] In this embodiment, the detection electrode 211 is a structure formed by cold working of a metal plate, which has good structural strength and low manufacturing cost.

[0095] In related technologies, conductivity sensors typically consist of two metal strips. Damp clothing contacts these strips, creating a conductive circuit that determines the degree of dryness. However, the two metal strips can be considered as having only a single resistance. This low conductivity detection sensitivity can lead to problems in certain scenarios, such as under-drying of coral fleece clothing, or over-drying of cotton-linen and synthetic fabrics due to their different conductivity values.

[0096] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-13 The detection electrode 211 includes a connecting portion 2111 and a tooth assembly 2112. The tooth assembly 2112 includes multiple finger-shaped teeth 21121, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along a first direction. All finger-shaped teeth 21121 of the tooth assembly 2112 are connected to the connecting portion 2111. The finger-shaped teeth 21121 of the two detection electrodes 211 are arranged alternately at intervals along the first direction. The connecting portion 2111 and / or the finger-shaped teeth 21121 form a positioning structure 211a.

[0097] The connection portion 2111 and / or the finger teeth 21121 having a positioning structure 211a includes the following embodiments: In one embodiment, the connection portion 2111 has a positioning structure 211a, while the finger teeth 21121 does not have a positioning structure 211a. In another embodiment, the connection portion 2111 does not have a positioning structure 211a, while the finger teeth 21121 has a positioning structure 211a. In yet another embodiment, both the connection portion 2111 and the finger teeth 21121 have positioning structures 211a.

[0098] It is possible that some of the finger teeth 21121 have a positioning structure 211a, while other finger teeth 21121 do not have a positioning structure 211a. Alternatively, all finger teeth 21121 may have a positioning structure 211a.

[0099] Preferably, the connecting portion 2111 and each finger tooth 21121 are provided with a positioning structure 211a. In this way, the connecting portion 2111 and all finger teeth 21121 can be positioned, reducing the risk of deformation or displacement of the finger teeth 21121.

[0100] For ease of description, the positioning structure 211a on the finger teeth 21121 is defined as the first positioning structure, and the positioning structure 211a on the connecting part 2111 is defined as the second positioning structure.

[0101] The first positioning structure can be a hole-shaped structure 211aa or a groove-shaped structure 211ab with an opening.

[0102] The second positioning structure can be a hole-shaped structure 211aa or a groove-shaped structure 211ab with an opening.

[0103] For ease of description, please refer to Figures 3-13 The two detection electrodes 211 are defined as the first electrode 211' and the second electrode 211', respectively. The finger teeth 21121 of the first electrode 211' are defined as the first teeth 21121', the connecting part 2111 of the first electrode 211' is defined as the first connecting part 2111, the finger teeth 21121 of the second electrode 211' are defined as the second teeth 21121", and the connecting part 2111 of the second electrode 211' is defined as the second connecting part 2111. The finger teeth 21121 of the two detection electrodes 211 are arranged alternately along the first direction, which means that there is a second tooth 21121' between any two adjacent first teeth 21121'. The distance between the first teeth 21121' and the second teeth 21121' is greater than zero.

[0104] In this embodiment, the finger-shaped teeth 21121 of the two detection electrodes 211 are arranged alternately along the first direction to form an interdigitated structure. A first tooth 21121' and a second tooth 21121" constitute a pole pair. The detection unit 21 has at least two pole pairs. When the clothing comes into contact with at least two pole pairs, the conduction between each pole pair can be regarded as a resistor. At least two pole pairs can be regarded as at least two resistors in parallel, thereby making the detection of changes in conductivity more sensitive, improving the accuracy and sensitivity of the detection unit 21, and to a certain extent avoiding problems such as incomplete drying or over-drying, thus improving the drying performance.

[0105] The specific structural form of the finger teeth 21121 is not limited; they can be plate-shaped or columnar, etc. Among them, the cross-sectional shape of the columnar shape is not limited; it can be circular or polygonal, etc. Polygons include quadrilaterals, pentagons, etc. It can be understood that polygons can include rounded polygons.

[0106] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 2111 has a notch, and the lifting rib 1 has a filling portion that fills the notch.

[0107] For example, during insert injection molding, material can enter the notch, and after solidification, the material can form a filler portion.

[0108] It is understandable that there is no limit to the number of gaps; there can be one or more gaps.

[0109] In this embodiment, the solid structure of the connecting portion 2111 defines a notch, which can reduce the material used for the detection electrode 211 and lower costs. The filling portion fills the notch, which can increase the bonding force between the lifting rib 1 and the detection electrode 211, making the connection between the detection electrode 211 and the lifting rib 1 more stable.

[0110] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 2111 may not have a notch.

[0111] The connection position between the finger teeth 21121 and the connecting portion 2111 is not limited. For example, the connecting portion 2111 can connect to any position along the length direction of the finger teeth 21121. In some embodiments, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 13 The connecting portion 2111 is connected to one end of the finger teeth 21121 along the length direction. As an example, all the finger teeth 21121 of the tooth group 2112 are located on the same side of the connecting portion 2111. In this way, the connecting portion 2111 and the individual tooth group 2112 are approximately comb-shaped.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first positioning structure may be located at the end of the finger tooth 21121 away from the connecting portion 2111.

[0113] Taking the first positioning structure as a groove-shaped structure 211ab as an example, please refer to... Figures 10-13 The first positioning structure can be a groove-shaped structure 211ab with an opening on the side away from the connecting part 2111. In this way, during the insert injection molding process, the positioning post of the injection mold can enter the groove-shaped structure 211ab through the opening of the groove-shaped structure 211ab, and then the positioning post is inserted into the second positioning structure, reducing the assembly difficulty. After the injection molding is completed, the injection mold can also be separated from the lifting rib assembly more easily, realizing rapid demolding.

[0114] It is understandable that each finger tooth 21121 may have one or more first positioning structures. Considering positioning requirements and assembly difficulty, it is better for each finger tooth 21121 to have one first positioning structure.

[0115] In some embodiments, the second positioning structure may be located at the end of the connecting portion 2111 along the first direction. For example, the second positioning structure may be formed at both ends of the connecting portion 2111 along the first direction.

[0116] It is understandable that each connecting part 2111 may have one or more second positioning structures. Considering positioning requirements and assembly difficulty, it is better for each connecting part 2111 to have two second positioning structures.

[0117] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 7-9 The detection electrode 211 includes two tooth groups 2112 and a sheet group 2113. The two tooth groups 2112 are arranged at intervals along a second direction, and the first direction intersects the second direction. The sheet group 2113 includes multiple sheet portions 21131, which are arranged at intervals along a first direction. The sheet portions 21131 are connected to the finger teeth 21121 of the two tooth groups 2112.

[0118] In some embodiments, one tooth assembly 2112 is connected to the connecting portion 2111, while another tooth assembly 2112 is not connected to the connecting portion 2111.

[0119] The first direction and the second direction can intersect perpendicularly or obliquely.

[0120] The finger teeth 21121 connecting the plate body 21131 to the two tooth groups 2112 refer to: each plate body 21131 is connected to two finger teeth 21121, and these two finger teeth 21121 are any one of the two tooth groups 2112.

[0121] For example, please refer to Figures 7-9 The number of finger teeth 21121 in the two tooth groups 2112 is the same and they are arranged in parallel pairs. Each plate part 21131 can connect two pairs of finger teeth 21121.

[0122] In this embodiment, the detection electrode 211 includes two sets of teeth 2112 arranged at intervals along the second direction. Without significantly increasing the size of the detection electrode 211 along the first direction, the number of finger teeth 21121 can be further increased. Each sheet portion 21131 connects to the finger teeth 21121 of the two sets of teeth 2112, so that the detection electrode 211 becomes a whole and the detection accuracy is improved.

[0123] In some embodiments, the distance L between adjacent first teeth 21121' and second teeth 21121" is 2mm to 8mm. Exemplarily, the distance L between adjacent first teeth 21121' and second teeth 21121" is 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, or 8mm, etc. A distance of 2mm to 8mm between adjacent first teeth 21121' and second teeth 21121" not only balances detection sensitivity and cost but also provides good anti-static interference, to some extent avoiding the problem of excessively high conductivity values ​​during the chemical fiber drying process.

[0124] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 7-9 The sheet portion 21131 has a positioning structure 211a.

[0125] For ease of description, the positioning structure 211a on the sheet portion 21131 is defined as the third positioning structure. The third positioning structure may be a hole-shaped structure 211aa (see [link to documentation]). Figure 7 ) or it has a groove-shaped structure with an opening 211ab.

[0126] In this embodiment, the sheet portion 21131 is formed with a positioning structure 211a, which can further limit the detection electrode 211 and reduce the risk of displacement and deformation during injection molding.

[0127] The following are exemplary descriptions of the three detection units 21 provided in this application:

[0128] The first detection unit 21 includes a first electrode 211' and a second electrode 211". (See also...) Figures 2-6 The first electrode 211' includes a first connecting portion 2111 and a tooth set 2112, and the second electrode 211" includes a second connecting portion 2111 and a tooth set 2112. Both the first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2111 are linear and extend along a first direction. All first teeth 21121' and all second teeth 21121" are located between the first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2111. That is, both the first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2111 are generally linear in structure and approximately linear. Exemplarily, the shape of the first tooth 21121' is approximately the same as the shape of the second tooth 21121" and is generally parallel to the second tooth 21121". Both the first tooth 21121' and the second tooth 21121" have a first positioning structure with a hole-shaped structure 211aa. Both the first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2111 have a second positioning structure with a hole-shaped structure 211aa.

[0129] The second type of detection unit 21 includes a first electrode 211' and a second electrode 211". Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 7-9 The first electrode 211' includes a first connecting portion 2111, two tooth groups 2112, and a sheet group 2113. The second electrode 211" may include a second connecting portion 2111, two tooth groups 2112, and a sheet group 2113. For a description of the tooth groups 2112 and the sheet group 2113, please refer to the foregoing description; it will not be repeated here. Both the first tooth 21121' and the second tooth 21121" have a first positioning structure with a hole-shaped structure 211aa. Each sheet portion 21131 has a third positioning structure with a hole-shaped structure 211aa.

[0130] Please see Figures 10-13 The third detection unit 21 is mostly the same as the first detection unit 21 in structure, and will not be described in detail here. The difference between the third detection unit 21 and the first detection unit 21 is that the first positioning structure is a slot-shaped structure 211ab with an opening.

[0131] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The power receiving device 2 includes a detection unit 21, at least a portion of which is located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 1.

[0132] As an example, at least a portion of the detection electrode 211 is located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 1.

[0133] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the detection unit 21 is located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 1. The detection unit 21 can contact the load such as clothes in the clothes processing chamber 3a, thereby sensing the degree of drying of the clothes at close range and effectively improving the accuracy of judging the degree of drying of the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 3a.

[0134] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 14 There are two detection units 21, which are located on two opposite outer sides of the lifting rib 1. For example, the two detection units 21 are located on two outer sides of the lifting rib 1 along the circumference of the garment processing drum.

[0135] As an example, the detection unit 21 includes two detection electrodes 211, each of which includes a connecting portion 2111 and a tooth assembly 2112.

[0136] In this embodiment, the positive terminals of the two detection units 21 can be electrically connected, and the negative terminals of the two detection units 21 can be electrically connected. This increases the number of finger teeth 21121, thereby improving detection accuracy.

[0137] It should be noted that the number of detection units 21 can also be one, three or more.

[0138] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3-13 The detection electrode 211 includes a connecting part 2111 and a tooth group 2112. The tooth group 2112 includes a plurality of finger teeth 21121, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along a first direction. All the finger teeth 21121 of the tooth group 2112 are connected to the connecting part 2111.

[0139] The finger tooth 21121 includes a main body 211211 and a stamped part 211212. The stamped part 211212 is connected to the main body 211211 and protrudes in a direction away from the lifting rib 1.

[0140] In this embodiment, the forming part 211212 is formed by stamping, that is, the forming part 211212 can be formed by stamping process, which can improve the strength and rigidity of the finger teeth 21121. The forming part 211212 protrudes away from the lifting rib 1, that is, the forming part 211212 and the main body 211211 are not in the same plane, which facilitates the contact between the forming part 211212 and the clothing, increases the contact area between the forming part 211212 and the clothing, and improves the detection accuracy.

[0141] In some embodiments, the corners of the detection electrode 211 are rounded. For example, the corners of the main body 211211 and the corners of the connecting portion 2111 are rounded. By reducing the sharp corners of the detection electrode 211, stress concentration points are reduced, and the risk of snagging on clothing is also reduced.

[0142] In some embodiments, the surface of the forming portion 211212 is curved. Since the surface of the forming portion 211212 needs to come into contact with clothing, the curved surface can, to some extent, prevent snagging on the clothing, reduce mutual wear between the clothing and the surface of the forming portion 211212, and also reduce stress concentration.

[0143] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 The molding section 211212 includes a contact wall 211212a and a transition wall 211212b. The contact wall 211212a is located on the side of the main body 211211 away from the lifting rib 1. The transition wall 211212b surrounds the contact wall 211212a and connects the contact wall 211212a and the main body 211211. The transition wall 211212b forms a trumpet-shaped space that opens towards the side away from the contact wall 211212a and gradually expands.

[0144] The transition wall 211212b encloses a funnel-shaped space that opens away from the contact wall 211212a and gradually expands. In other words, the cross-sectional area of ​​the space enclosed by the transition wall 211212b gradually expands away from the contact wall 211212a.

[0145] In this embodiment, during the process of forming the die-cut section 211212 by stamping with a stamping tool, the transition wall 211212b surrounds and forms a funnel-shaped space that opens away from the contact wall 211212a and gradually expands, which facilitates the stamping tool to detach from the die-cut section 211212 in the direction away from the contact wall 211212a, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty.

[0146] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The power receiving device 2 includes a temperature detection element 22, which is disposed on the detection electrode 211.

[0147] Temperature sensing element 22 is used to detect temperature.

[0148] In this embodiment, the temperature sensing element 22 and the sensing electrode 211 are integrated together, and the sensing electrode 211 can provide an installation position for the temperature sensing element 22.

[0149] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7The lifting rib 1 includes a main body 11, which is disposed on the circumferential surface of the garment processing chamber 3a, and the power receiving device 2 is disposed on the main body 11. The main body 11 is disposed on the circumferential surface of the garment processing chamber 3a, and extends in the front-to-back direction. The length direction of the main body 11 is consistent with the front-to-back direction. The size of the main body 11 can be relatively large to facilitate the installation of the power receiving device 2.

[0150] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 7-9 The detection electrode 211 includes two tooth groups 2112, which are located on two outer sides of the main body 11 along the circumferential direction. The sheet group 2113 is located on the top side of the main body 11 along the radial direction away from the circumferential sidewall. Thus, one detection unit 21 can be mounted on one lifting rib 1.

[0151] In some embodiments, the main body 11 includes two side plates, a top plate, and an end plate. The two side plates are spaced apart circumferentially, and the bottom ends of both side plates are connected to the peripheral sidewalls of the garment processing tube 3. The top plate is connected to the top ends of the two side plates, and the end plate is connected to the front ends of the two side plates. The internal space defined by the top plate, end plate, and two side plates is the portion within the lifting rib 1. The tooth assembly 2112 and the connecting portion 2111 can both be located on the side plates. The two side plates, the top plate, and the end plate can all be injection molded as a single piece, and the connections can all be smoothly transitioned.

[0152] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 The lifting rib 1 includes an extension 12 connected to the rear end of the main body 11, and the extension 12 is disposed on the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 3a. Without increasing the radial dimension of the lifting rib 1 as a whole, the extension 12 disposed on the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 3a can increase the volume inside the lifting rib 1, thereby accommodating structures such as the conductive wire harness 7 and the receiving circuit board; the extension 12 can cover a part of the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 3a, so as to cover structures such as the wire hole 3b on the rear side wall of the garment processing tube 3.

[0153] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 14 The extension 12 opens to the rear, and the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 3a can cover the opening of the extension 12 to the rear.

[0154] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 14 The extension 12 can extend toward the rotation axis of the garment processing cylinder 3, and the apex of the extension 12 protrudes from the top side of the main body 11 in the radial direction of the garment processing cylinder 3. That is to say, the outer contours of both the main body 11 and the extension 12 are roughly L-shaped.

[0155] In some embodiments, the rearward-facing surface of the extension 12 is fitted to the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 3a. This reduces the gap between the extension 12 and the rear surface of the garment processing cavity 3a, preventing lint and debris from entering the lifting rib 1 through the gap.

[0156] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 14-16 The garment processing device includes a transmitting module 4 and a receiving module 5. The receiving module 5 is located in the garment processing cylinder 3, and the transmitting module 4 is located outside the garment processing cylinder 3. The receiving module 5 is used to receive the electromagnetic signals emitted by the transmitting module 4 and generate an induced current. The receiving module 5 is electrically connected to the power receiving device 2.

[0157] The components other than the clothing processing cylinder 3 refer to components that are independent of and located outside the clothing processing cylinder 3. These components can remain stationary when the clothing processing cylinder 3 rotates, thus keeping the transmitting module 4 stationary. For example, the components other than the clothing processing cylinder 3 could be the housing 6 (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 16 Alternatively, it could be a base located below the clothing processing drum 3, etc., which is not limited here.

[0158] The location of the receiving module 5 in the clothing processing tube 3 is not limited. For example, the receiving module 5 can be set on any side wall of the clothing processing tube 3. For instance, the receiving module 5 can be set on the peripheral side wall of the clothing processing tube 3, or the receiving module 5 can be set on the rear side wall of the clothing processing tube 3 facing the rear, etc.

[0159] The peripheral sidewall of the garment processing drum 3 refers to the sidewall of the garment processing drum 3 around the axis of rotation.

[0160] The receiving module 5 is used to receive the electromagnetic signals emitted by the transmitting module 4 and generate induced current. That is, the transmitting module 4 and the receiving module 5 are wirelessly connected, and the transmitting module 4 can wirelessly transmit power to the receiving module 5.

[0161] The receiving module 5 is electrically connected to the power receiving device 2, and supplies power to the power receiving device 2 through the receiving module 5 to meet the power demand.

[0162] For example, the receiving module 5 is disposed on the garment processing drum 3, and the power receiving device 2 is disposed on the lifting rib 1 and electrically connected to the receiving module 5. When the garment processing drum 3 rotates, the receiving module 5 and the power receiving device 2 rotate synchronously. The electrical connection between the power receiving device 2 and the receiving module 5 is relatively stable, and the receiving module 5 can also receive electrical energy transmitted from the transmitting module 4 during rotation. In this way, the power receiving device 2 can sense the status 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.

[0163] In this embodiment, the transmitting module 4 and the receiving module 5 can transmit electrical energy without contact, achieving high reliability without wire connection. The receiving module 5 is located in the clothing processing drum 3. The receiving module 5 can receive electrical energy and / or signals emitted by the transmitting module 4. In this way, the receiving module 5 supplies power to the receiving device 2, meeting the power requirements of the receiving device 2 and improving the overall performance of the clothing processing equipment.

[0164] In some embodiments, the transmitting module 4 includes a transmitting coil, and the receiving module 5 includes a receiving coil. The receiving coil receives the electromagnetic signal emitted by the transmitting coil and generates an induced current. Specifically, the transmitting coil generates a changing magnetic field, and the receiving coil generates an induced current through electromagnetic induction. The receiving coil receives electrical energy transmission from the transmitting coil and outputs electrical energy.

[0165] In some embodiments, the receiving coil and the transmitting coil are arranged relatively spaced apart along the axial direction of the garment processing tube 3. That is, the receiving coil and the transmitting coil are spaced apart in the axial direction, and the projection of the transmitting coil overlaps at least partially with the projection of the receiving coil on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction.

[0166] In this embodiment, the receiving coil and the transmitting coil are arranged at intervals relative to each other along the axial direction of the garment processing drum 3. For example, the transmitting coil and the receiving coil can always remain coaxial and relative, meaning that no matter where the garment processing drum 3 rotates, the transmitting coil and the receiving coil always remain coaxial and relative. Alternatively, the transmitting coil and the receiving coil can also be arranged coaxially and relative at a set position, meaning the receiving coil can move to that set position and be coaxial and relative to the transmitting coil as the garment processing drum 3 rotates. This design reduces the impact of the rotating garment processing drum 3 on the transmitting coil and increases installation safety.

[0167] In some embodiments, the transmitting coil, the receiving coil, and the clothing handling tube 3 are coaxial.

[0168] With a plane perpendicular to the axis as the projection plane, the projections of the transmitting coil and the receiving coil form a coaxial ring structure.

[0169] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the clothing processing drum 3, regardless of the position of the receiving coil as it rotates with the drum 3, the receiving coil and the transmitting coil always maintain a relative state. This allows the receiving coil to continuously and stably receive the electrical energy transmitted by the transmitting coil, thus continuously providing power to the receiving device 2. In other words, during the rotation of the clothing processing drum 3, the receiving coil can always provide effective and sufficient power to the receiving device 2, eliminating the need for additional auxiliary power supply structures and increasing the power supply reliability of the clothing processing equipment.

[0170] In some embodiments, the receiving module 5 is located on the rear side of the garment processing tube 3. Exemplarily, the receiving module 5 is located in the central region of the rear sidewall of the garment processing tube 3. The receiving module 5 is located outside the garment processing cavity 3a to prevent garments or other loads inside the garment processing cavity 3a from contacting the receiving module 5, thus improving safety.

[0171] In some embodiments, the garment handling device includes a receiving circuit board disposed within the lifting rib 1, and the power receiving device 2 is electrically connected to the receiving circuit board.

[0172] 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.

[0173] The receiving circuit board can be manufactured separately from the lifting rib assembly. The receiving circuit board can be fixed to the lifting rib 1 by means of non-removable or detachable connection.

[0174] In this embodiment, the receiving circuit board is placed inside the lifting rib 1. The lifting rib 1 provides protection for the receiving circuit board, reduces the probability of the receiving circuit board coming into contact with clothing, and increases the installation reliability of the receiving circuit board.

[0175] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 13-15 The garment processing equipment includes a conductive wire harness 7, which is electrically connected to a receiving module 5 and a receiving circuit board. The detection electrode 211 is electrically connected to the receiving circuit board.

[0176] For example, please refer to Figure 10 The detection electrode 211 includes a power terminal 2114, which can be connected to the receiving circuit board.

[0177] The power terminal 2114 can be connected to the finger tooth 21121, or the power terminal 2114 can be connected to the connecting part 2111.

[0178] The conductive wire harness 7 can be a single complete cable or a combination of multiple cable segments; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0179] The conductive wire harness 7 can transmit electrical energy and / or signals. The receiving circuit board can control the power supply on / off; for example, the receiving circuit board can conduct or cut off the power transmission between the receiving module 5 and the powered device 2. The receiving circuit board can also be used to implement other control functions.

[0180] In this embodiment, the receiving module 5, the receiving circuit board, the conductive wire harness 7, and the power receiving device 2 all move synchronously with the clothing processing drum 3. The rotation of the clothing processing drum 3 will not cause problems such as tangling of the conductive wire harness 7. The conductive wire harness 7 transmits the electrical energy of the receiving module 5 to the receiving circuit board and the power receiving device 2, ensuring high reliability.

[0181] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 The receiving module 5 is located at the rear of the clothing processing tube 3. A wire-passing hole 3b is formed on the rear side wall of the clothing processing tube 3. The lifting rib 1 includes an extension 12 that covers the wire-passing hole 3b. The conductive wire bundle 7 passes through the wire-passing hole 3b and extends into the lifting rib 1. Taking a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction as the projection plane, the projection of the wire-passing hole 3b can be located within the projection range of the extension 12.

[0182] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the wire passage hole 3b is provided on the rear side wall of the clothing processing tube 3. One end of the conductive wire bundle 7 is connected to the receiving module 5, and the other end of the conductive wire bundle 7 passes through the wire passage hole 3b and enters the lifting rib 1. The distance between the receiving module 5 and the wire passage hole 3b can be relatively short, which can reduce the possibility of the conductive wire bundle 7 getting tangled. On the other hand, the extension 12 covers the wire passage hole 3b, which can prevent the wire passage hole 3b from being exposed, so that the lifting rib 1 can block the conductive wire bundle 7 from entering the clothing processing cavity 3a, and minimize the contact between the conductive wire bundle 7 and the clothing.

[0183] As an example, the transmitting module 4 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 equipment, enabling the circuits to function properly and achieve functions such as drying control. Exemplarily, the transmitting module 4 is electrically connected to the main control board via a wire to receive power supplied by the main control board. Both the transmitting module 4 and the main control board can be housed in the enclosure 6. The transmitting module 4 remains stationary to ensure stable power reception from the main control board, increasing the reliability of the electrical connection between the transmitting module 4 and the main control board.

[0184] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 13-16 The housing 6 includes a rear plate 61, and the clothing processing tube 3 includes a rear cover and a tube body. The rear cover is located at the rear end of the tube body to jointly define the clothing processing cavity 3a. The transmitting module 4 is located on the rear plate 61, and the receiving module 5 is located on the rear cover. Specifically, the rear cover has a rear sidewall of the clothing processing tube.

[0185] The rear panel 61 refers to the component of the housing 6 located on the rear side of the garment handling equipment along the front-to-back direction. The rear side is the side of the garment handling equipment furthest from the user after installation. The rear panel 61 is located on the rear side of the garment handling drum 3.

[0186] The front of the tube is open to form a clothing loading port.

[0187] As an example, the transmitting module 4 can be located on the side of the rear plate 61 away from the clothing processing cylinder 3, that is, on the rear side of the rear plate 61; or, the transmitting module 4 can be located on the side of the rear plate 61 facing the clothing processing cylinder 3, that is, on the front side of the rear plate 61.

[0188] As an example, the receiving module 5 can be located on the side of the rear cover facing the rear plate 61, that is, on the rear side of the rear cover; or, the receiving module 5 can be located on the side of the rear cover away from the rear plate 61, that is, on the front side of the rear cover.

[0189] In some embodiments, the transmitting module 4 includes a transmitting bracket, a transmitting coil is disposed on the transmitting bracket, and the transmitting bracket is connected to the housing 6, for example, the rear plate 61. The transmitting coil is fixed to the housing 6 via the transmitting bracket.

[0190] In some embodiments, the receiving module 5 includes a receiving bracket, a receiving coil is disposed on the receiving bracket, and the receiving bracket is connected to the clothing processing tube 3, for example, the back cover. The receiving coil is fixed to the clothing processing tube 3 via the receiving bracket.

[0191] In some embodiments, the transmitting module 4 may be located on the front side of the rear panel 61, and the receiving module 5 may be located on the rear side of the rear cover, with the plane perpendicular to the front-back direction as the projection plane, and the projections of the transmitting module 4 and the receiving module 5 at least partially overlap. For example, the transmitting module 4 may be located on the rear panel 61 of the housing 6 corresponding to the central area of ​​the clothing processing tube 3, and the transmitting module 4 may be aligned with the receiving module 5.

[0192] For example, the transmitting bracket includes an annular body, which is ring-shaped, and the transmitting coil is housed within the annular body. The annular body can be used to protect the transmitting coil.

[0193] For example, the receiving bracket includes an annular portion, which is ring-shaped, and the receiving coil is housed within the annular portion. The annular portion can be used to protect the receiving coil.

[0194] In some embodiments, the garment handling device includes a circulating air duct, and the rear sidewall of the garment handling cylinder 3 has at least one air inlet communicating with the garment handling chamber 3a. The circulating air duct connects the air inlet and the air outlet of the garment handling chamber 3a. For example, the rear cover has an air inlet. The circulating air duct is used to provide circulating airflow that repeatedly flows through the garment handling chamber 3a. The airflow in the circulating air duct can enter the garment handling chamber 3a through the air inlet, and the airflow in the garment handling chamber 3a can enter the circulating air duct through the air outlet. The airflow can circulate between the circulating air duct and the garment handling chamber 3a.

[0195] Understandably, the number of air inlets can be one or more, such as two, three, four, or five, etc.

[0196] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment includes a housing 6, a fan hood, and a base. The base is located inside the housing 6 and below the garment processing cylinder 3. A rear plate 61 forms a return air inlet and a supply air inlet connected to the air inlet. The height of the return air inlet is lower than the height of the supply air inlet. The base forms a heat exchange channel, with its two ends connected to the air outlet and the return air inlet, respectively. The fan hood surrounds the air outlet and the return air inlet and, together with the rear plate 61, defines the supply air channel. The heat exchange channel and the supply air channel together constitute a circulating air duct. The heat exchange channel is located upstream of the supply air channel along the airflow direction within the circulating air duct, and the airflow sequentially flows through the air outlet, the heat exchange channel, the return air inlet, the supply air channel, the supply air inlet, and the air inlet.

[0197] 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, etc.

[0198] In some embodiments, the garment processing device includes a heat exchange component located within a heat exchange channel. The heat exchange component exchanges heat with the airflow within the heat exchange channel, thereby dehumidifying and heating. The humid and hot airflow within the garment processing chamber 3a can enter the heat exchange channel through the air outlet, and after heat and mass exchange with the heat exchange component, it is converted into dry and hot airflow. The dry and hot airflow enters the air supply channel through the return air inlet, and then flows back into the garment processing chamber 3a through the air supply inlet and air inlet.

[0199] In some embodiments, the heat exchange assembly includes a condenser and an evaporator. 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, within which the refrigerant can circulate. The airflow in the circulating duct exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator and condenser to form a dry, hot airflow. The evaporator cools and dehumidifies the humid, hot airflow from the garment handling chamber 3a 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 3a.

[0200] 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 airflow before discharging it. The discharged high-pressure 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 then flows through a throttling device to reduce pressure, 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 gas. This low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is then drawn back into the compressor, and the cycle repeats, achieving heat exchange. In other words, the evaporator cools and dehumidifies the hot, humid airflow from the clothing processing chamber 3a, forming a dry, cool airflow. The condenser heats the dry, cool airflow into a hot, dry airflow, which then flows back into the clothing processing chamber 3a. The hot, dry airflow returning to the clothing processing chamber 3a comes into contact with the damp clothing, forming a hot, humid airflow again, completing one drying cycle. By repeatedly running this drying cycle, circulating airflow is continuously supplied to the clothing processing chamber 3a to dry the clothes.

[0201] For example, both the evaporator and the condenser can be finned tube heat exchangers.

[0202] For example, throttling devices include, but are not limited to, electronic expansion valves, etc.

[0203] In some embodiments, the garment handling apparatus includes a fan wheel for driving airflow. Exemplarily, the fan wheel is located within a heat exchange channel and between the heat exchange components and the return air vent. During the drying process, the fan wheel drives the airflow passing through the garment sequentially through the evaporator and condenser before blowing it onto the garment to create a circulating airflow. The fan wheel can accelerate airflow and improve drying efficiency.
