[0054] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the clothes treatment equipment further comprises an air supply device installed in the cabinet 1, and the air supply device is located in front of the drum 2 and can supply air to the inner bottom of the drum 2.

[0055] During the execution of the drying program, the air supply device supplies air to the inner bottom of the drum 2, so that the air directly blows on the clothes located at the bottom of the drum 2, which is beneficial to improve the heat and moisture exchange efficiency between the clothes and the drying air flow, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the clothes treatment equipment, accelerating the drying speed, and reducing the rotation speed of the drum 2, so that the clothes in the drum 2 can be dried, in some cases (for example, in the case of less clothes), the drum 2 can even not be rotated, so that the mechanical wear of the clothes can be greatly reduced, and in addition, since the air supply device is installed in front of the drum 2, the air can be directly blown into the drum 2 through the drum port of the drum 2, the air force is stronger, so that the air supply device can provide strong air to impact the clothes in the drum 2, which is beneficial to make the clothes more fluffy, and the user wears more comfortable, and the strong air is also beneficial to strip the dust, hair and other impurities on the clothes.

[0056] Preferably, as Figure 1 As shown, the air blown by the air supply device of the utility model first flows towards the rear end of the drum 2 after entering the drum 2, and then flows towards the front end of the drum 2 after turning back, and then enters the air supply device after being discharged from the drum port of the front end of the drum 2.

[0072] Exemplarily, the fixing member 6 is fixedly connected with the cabinet 1 and located between the drum 2 and the front panel of the cabinet 1, and the fan 5 is fixedly installed on the fixing member 6. Among them, the lint collecting box 4 can also be installed on the fixing member 6.

[0073] It should be noted that the fixing member 6 can also be cancelled in the actual application by those skilled in the art, in which case the fan 5 can be installed on the front panel of the cabinet 1, or can also be installed on the door body, or can also be installed on the window cushion between the door body and the drum 2, etc., and the adjustment and change of the specific installation position of the fan 5 do not deviate from the principles and scope of the utility model, and should be limited within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0074] Preferably, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 ​As shown, the fixing member 6 is provided with a receiving cavity and an air outlet 61 communicating with the receiving cavity, and the fan 5 is fixedly installed in the receiving cavity, and the air outlet of the fan 5 faces the air outlet 61 on the fixing member 6.

[0075] After the airflow in the drum 2 is discharged from the drum opening, the airflow first flows through the lint collecting box 4 at the drum opening, is filtered by the lint collecting box 4, is sucked into the fan 5, and the airflow discharged from the air outlet of the fan 5 blows to the inner bottom of the drum 2 through the air outlet 61 on the fixing member 6, wherein the air outlet of the fan 5 is inclined downward.

[0076] It should be noted that the shape of the air outlet 61 is not limited in the utility model, for example, the air outlet 61 can be circular, square or offset nozzle-shaped, and the like, and the adjustment and change of the specific shape of the air outlet 61 do not deviate from the principles and scope of the utility model, and should be limited within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0077] Preferably, as shown in the drawings, Figure 5 The fixing member 6 is provided with a blocking rib 62 in the air outlet 61 to prevent the clothes in the drum 2 from entering from the air outlet 61.

[0078] By arranging the blocking rib 62 in the air outlet 61 of the fixing member 6, the situation that the clothes enter the air outlet 61 can be prevented, and the clothes can be more effectively prevented from entering the fan 5 through the air outlet 61.

[0079] Preferably, as shown in the drawings, Figure 5 The number of the blocking ribs 62 is multiple, and the multiple blocking ribs 62 are distributed along the radial direction of the air outlet 61.

[0080] Exemplarily, the air outlet 61 is circular, the number of the blocking ribs 62 is three, the blocking ribs 62 are horizontally arranged and distributed along the diameter direction of the air outlet 61. Further, a vertical blocking rib 62 is arranged at the middle position of the three blocking ribs 62, and the vertical blocking rib 62 is perpendicular to the three horizontal blocking ribs 62.

[0082] Preferably, the air supply device further comprises a filter screen (not shown in the drawings), and the filter screen is installed at the air inlet of the fan 5 to prevent the lint from entering the fan 5.

[0083] By installing a filter screen at the air intake of the fan 5, lint can be prevented from entering the fan 5. Especially when a lint collection box 4 is installed, the airflow is filtered twice before entering the fan 5, resulting in a better filtration effect.

[0084] Preferably, such as Figures 6 to 11 As shown, the air supply device of this utility model also includes a damper assembly, which is used to shield the exhaust port of the fan 5.

[0085] When the air supply device is not required to operate, the exhaust port of the fan 5 can be blocked by the damper assembly to prevent water inside the drum 2 from splashing into the outer casing of the fan 5. In addition, during the operation of the drying device, the drying airflow can be prevented from entering the outer casing of the fan 5 from the exhaust port, thereby preventing impurities such as lint from entering the fan 5.

[0086] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can configure the damper assembly as a wind-driven damper, that is, the damper assembly opens by the air blown out from the exhaust port of the fan 5. Alternatively, the damper assembly can be configured as an electric damper, that is, the damper is opened by a motor. Such adjustments and changes to the specific type of damper assembly do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0087] Preferably, such as Figures 6 to 11 As shown, the damper assembly of this utility model includes an annular fixing plate 71 and a damper 72, with the damper 72 pivotally connected to the fixing plate 71.

[0088] For example, the fixing plate 71 is fixedly connected to the housing of the fan 5, and the through hole in the middle area of ​​the fixing plate 71 is aligned with the exhaust port of the fan 5. The shape and size of the through hole match the shape and size of the exhaust port of the fan 5.

[0089] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art may also fix the fixing plate 71 to the fixing component 6 for installing the fan 5 or set it as an integral part, or they may also cancel the setting of the fixing plate 71 and directly pivot the damper 72 to the outer shell of the fan 5, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should all be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0090] In addition, it should be pointed out that, such as Figure 6 As shown, if an electrically operated damper is used, a motor 73 needs to be installed on the fixed plate 71. The motor 73 drives the damper 72 to open, as shown. Figure 7 As shown, if a wind-powered damper is used, there is no need to install a motor 73. The damper 72 can be opened by the air blown out of the exhaust port of the fan 5.

[0091] Preferably, such as Figures 6 to 9As shown, the number of dampers 72 is multiple, and the multiple dampers 72 are independent, and the multiple dampers 72 jointly shield the air outlet of the air blower 5.

[0092] As shown, when the damper 72 is in the closed state, Figure 9 As shown, preferably, the two adjacent dampers 72 have an overlapping part, so that the air outlet of the air blower 5 can be better shielded.

[0093] It should be noted that if the damper 72 is electric, as shown, Figure 6 As shown, preferably, each damper 72 is provided with a motor 73, and each damper 72 can be independently opened by the motor 73. For example, the number of dampers 72 is four, and the number of motors 73 is also four, and the four motors 73 independently drive the four dampers 72.

[0094] As shown, preferably, Figures 6 to 11 As shown, the damper 72 is provided with a limiting structure, and the limiting structure abuts against the fixed plate 71 after the damper 72 is opened to limit the damper 72 at a set opening position.

[0095] By limiting the damper 72 at the set opening position through the limiting structure, the opening angle of the damper 72 can be limited, so as to avoid that the opening angle of the damper 72 is too large to cause the airflow discharged from the air outlet of the air blower 5 to be greatly scattered, and in addition, for the wind type damper, by limiting the damper 72 at the set opening position through the limiting structure, the situation that the damper 72 cannot be closed by its own gravity because the opening angle of the damper 72 is too large can be avoided.

[0096] As shown, preferably, Figure 8 As shown, the multiple dampers 72 are parallel to each other when they are at the set opening position, and a wind guide channel is formed between the two adjacent dampers 72, and the wind guide channel is directed to the air outlet 61, that is, to the inner bottom of the drum 2.

[0097] After the damper 72 is opened, each damper 72 is limited at the set opening position by the respective limiting structure, and a wind guide channel is formed between the two adjacent dampers 72, and the airflow discharged from the air outlet of the air blower 5 flows along the wind guide channel to the air outlet 61 on the fixed member 6, and then flows to the inner bottom of the drum 2 after passing through the air outlet 61, so as to more effectively prevent the airflow from being scattered, and make the wind force stronger.

[0098] As shown, preferably, Figures 6 to 11 As shown, the damper 72 comprises a plate-shaped body 721 and a rotating shaft 722 provided on the plate-shaped body 721, the rotating shaft 722 is pivotally connected with the fixed plate 71, and the limiting structure is arranged on the rotating shaft 722.

[0099] Exemplarily, a plurality of clamping grooves 711 are arranged on the fixing plate 71, and each of the two sides of the plate-shaped body 721 of the air door 72 is provided with a rotating shaft 722, each rotating shaft 722 is rotationally connected with a corresponding clamping groove 711, when the air door 72 is opened, the limiting structure rotates along with the rotating shaft 722, when the limiting structure abuts against the fixing plate 71, the rotating shaft 722 is prevented from continuing to rotate, thereby limiting the air door 72 at a set opening position, and the plurality of plate-shaped bodies 721 are arranged in parallel, and a wind guiding channel is formed between two adjacent plate-shaped bodies 721.

[0100] It should be noted that the shape of the plate-shaped body 721 of each air door 72 can be the same or different, and preferably, the shape of the plate-shaped body 721 of each air door 72 is arranged according to the shape of the air outlet of the air blower 5.

[0101] For example, if the shape of the air outlet is square, the shape of the plate-shaped body 721 of each air door 72 can be arranged to be the same, and if the shape of the air outlet is circular, the shape of the plate-shaped body 721 of each air door 72 is preferably matched with the shape of the air outlet at the mounting position of the air door 72.

[0102] In addition, it should be noted that the specific structure of the limiting structure is not limited in the utility model, for example, the limiting structure can be arranged as a limiting block, a limiting plate or a limiting column, etc.

[0103] Preferably, as shown in Figures 6 to 11 the limiting structure is a limiting block 723, and the limiting block 723 has a stop surface 7231, and when the air door 72 is opened to a set opening position, the stop surface 7231 abuts against the fixing plate 71.

[0104] Exemplarily, the shape of the limiting block 723 is approximately sector-shaped, and the end surface of the top of the limiting block 723 is the stop surface 7231.

[0105] Preferably, the limiting block 723 is provided with a hollow structure (not shown in the figure), and the hollow structure is arranged close to the stop surface 7231.

[0106] By arranging the hollow structure close to the stop surface 7231, the weight of the lower part of the limiting block 723 is greater than that of the upper part, which is more conducive to closing the air door 72 by relying on its own gravity.
