With respect to the arrangement mode of the present embodiment, the fixing base 22 of the specific embodiment is directly fixedly arranged on the top of the inner container 12, instead of being arranged on the fixing support 31.
[0044] In some specific embodiments, the damper assembly 2 comprises a damper mechanism 21, but does not comprise the fixing base 22 described above, and the damper mechanism 21 is directly fixedly arranged on the top of the inner container 12; further, the base 213 of the damper mechanism 21 is fixedly arranged on the top of the inner container 12.

With respect to the arrangement mode of the present embodiment, the damper assembly 2 of the specific embodiment does not comprise the fixing base 22 in the present embodiment, and the base 213 of the damper mechanism 21 is directly fixedly arranged on the fixing support 31.
[0046] The clothes care machine provided by the utility model, through the ventilation air duct 4, the air outside the clothes care machine and the air inside the care cavity 121 can be exchanged through the ventilation air duct 4, so that the freshness of the air inside the care cavity 121 is ensured, and the suffocation of organisms trapped in the closed care cavity 121 is avoided, and the use safety of the clothes care machine is improved. Meanwhile, the clothes care machine provided by the utility model is also provided with the air door assembly 2 in the ventilation air duct 4, under the condition that the clothes care machine is working, the air door assembly 2 blocks the ventilation air duct 4, so that the heat and moisture in the care cavity 121 are prevented from being lost during the care process; under the condition that the organisms exist in the care cavity 121, the air door assembly 2 connects the ventilation air duct 4, so that the care cavity 121 is communicated with the outside of the clothes care machine, the air in the care cavity 121 flows smoothly, and the oxygen is sufficient. Through the above setting, the clothes care machine can adjust the communication state of the ventilation air duct 4 according to the actual use state, so that the ventilation air duct 4 improves the equipment safety without affecting the care effect of the clothes care machine.
[0047] The clothes care machine also comprises a control module and an organism detection module, the organism detection module is used for detecting whether organisms exist in the care cavity 121, and the control module is connected with the air door assembly 2 and the organism detection module. The control module is configured to: based on the detection result of whether organisms exist in the care cavity 121 measured by the organism detection module, the air door assembly 2 is selectively connected or blocked to the ventilation air duct 4.
[0048] For example, if the organism detection module measures that organisms exist in the care cavity 121, the air door assembly 2 is connected to the ventilation air duct 4, so that the air in the care cavity 121 flows; if the organism detection module measures that no organisms exist in the care cavity 121, the air door assembly 2 is blocked to the ventilation air duct 4.
[0049] It should be noted that the organism detection module can be an infrared sensor, an infrared camera device and the like, which can detect and identify organisms. It can be understood that the organism detection technology is very mature, and will not be described here.
[0050] Since the existing organism detection module usually has some misjudgment conditions, for example, after the completion of the care program, the temperature of the internal environment of the care cavity 121 is relatively high, at this time, the organism detection module receives more non-organism signal noise, thereby affecting the detection accuracy.

The control module is configured to: based on the detection result of whether the living body exists in the care cavity 121 measured by the living body detection module and the measurement result of the weighing module, control the air door assembly 2 to selectively open or block the ventilation air duct 4.
[0052] For example, if the living body detection module measures that the living body exists in the care cavity 121, and the weight of the object at the bottom of the care cavity 121 exceeds the preset threshold, the air door assembly 2 is caused to open the ventilation air duct 4 to make the air in the care cavity 121 circulate; if the living body detection module measures that the living body exists in the care cavity 121, but the weight of the object at the bottom of the care cavity 121 does not exceed the preset threshold, the air door assembly 2 is caused to block the ventilation air duct 4.
[0053] It should be noted that the weighing module can be a gravity sensor, a pressure sensor, or any other device capable of obtaining the weight of an object. It can be understood that the technology for obtaining the weight of an object is already very mature, and therefore will not be described here.
[0054] So far, the technical scheme of the present application has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features without deviating from the principles of the present application, and the technical schemes after these changes or replacements will all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
