TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electrical appliances, and particularly relates to a clothes processing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the related art, when the clothes processing device with double cylinders and with a drying function is running, the washing programs performed by the double cylinders may not be consistent in the case that the double cylinders are running at the same time, for example, one cylinder of the double cylinders performs washing forming, and the other cylinder performs drying forming, but the double cylinders are conveyed with drying air flow by the same drying module, so that the timing at which the drying module of the clothes processing device provides the drying air flow to the two cylinders is also inconsistent. Therefore, the air flow distribution of the drying module of the clothes processing device is a technical problem to be solved.

[0003] Based on the above technical problems, the applicant designs an air flow distribution device, which comprises a ventilation part and a valve rotatably arranged in the ventilation part. By controlling the rotation of the valve, the air flow of the drying module of the clothes processing device can be distributed to the cylinder performing the drying program. However, how to confirm that the valve is rotated in place is a technical problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a clothes processing device, which aims to at least partly solve the in-place detection of the valve of the air flow distribution device of the clothes processing device.

[0005] In the first aspect of the present application, a clothes processing device is provided, which comprises a drying module located at the top of the clothes processing device, a first cylinder located below the drying module, a second cylinder adjacent to the first cylinder, and an air outlet pipeline comprising a first connecting part, a second connecting part and a third connecting part, the first connecting part of the air outlet pipeline being connected to the first cylinder, the second connecting part of the air outlet pipeline being connected to the second cylinder, and the third connecting part of the air outlet pipeline being connected to the drying module.

The first detection assembly comprises a first trigger and a first position confirming member. The first trigger is connected to the first valve, and the first position confirming member is connected to the first ventilation part. When the first valve rotates in the first ventilation part, the first trigger triggers the first position confirming member to confirm that the first valve is rotated in place.

[0006] In a second aspect, the present application provides another laundry treating apparatus, comprising: an air inlet duct comprising a fourth connecting portion, a fifth connecting portion and a sixth connecting portion, the fourth connecting portion of the air inlet duct connecting the first drum, the fifth connecting portion of the air inlet duct connecting the second drum, and the sixth connecting portion of the air inlet duct connecting an air inlet end of the drying module; wherein the sixth connecting portion comprises: a second ventilation portion provided with a second air inlet, a third air inlet and a third air outlet in communication, the second air inlet communicating with the fourth connecting portion, the third air inlet communicating with the fifth connecting portion, and the third air outlet communicating with the air inlet end of the drying module; and a second valve rotating in the second ventilation portion to adjust the air flow flux of the second air inlet or the third air inlet; and a second detection assembly comprising a second trigger and a second position confirming member, wherein the second trigger is connected to the second valve, and the second position confirming member is connected to the second ventilation portion, and when the second valve rotates in the second ventilation portion, the second trigger triggers the second position confirming member to confirm that the second valve is rotated to a position.

[0007] The laundry treating apparatus provided by the present application adjusts the air flow flux of the first air outlet and the second air outlet of the ventilation portion by rotating the valve in the second ventilation portion; since the trigger is connected to the valve and the position confirming member is connected to the ventilation portion, the trigger and the valve rotate synchronously in the process of rotating the valve, the trigger triggers the position confirming member on the ventilation portion to confirm that the valve is rotated to a position, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0008] In a third aspect, the present application also provides a laundry treating apparatus, comprising: a drying module located at the top of the laundry treating apparatus; a first drum located below the drying module; a second drum adjacent to the first drum; and a ventilation duct comprising a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion and a third connecting portion, the first connecting portion of the ventilation duct connecting the first drum, the second connecting portion of the ventilation duct connecting the second drum, and the third connecting portion of the ventilation duct connecting the drying module, wherein the third connecting portion is provided with a first air outlet, a second air outlet and an air inlet in communication; a valve rotating in the third connecting portion to adjust the air flow flux of the first air outlet or the second air outlet; and a detection assembly comprising a trigger and a position confirming member, wherein the trigger is connected to the third connecting portion, and the position confirming member is connected to the valve, and when the valve rotates in the third connecting portion, the trigger triggers the position confirming member to confirm that the valve is rotated to a position.

[0009] The laundry treating apparatus provided in the application controls the valve to rotate at the third connecting part of the ventilation duct, and adjusts the air flow of the first air outlet and the second air outlet of the third connecting part by using the rotating valve core; since the trigger connects the valve and the position confirming part connects the third connecting part, the trigger and the valve rotate synchronously in the process of rotating the valve core, the trigger triggers the position confirming part on the third connecting part to confirm that the valve core rotates to the right position, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0043] In order to make the person skilled in the art to which the present application belongs more clearly understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] The traditional washing machine is a household appliance that can wash clothes. With the gradual improvement of living standards, consumers' demand for washing machines has gradually increased. The size, type and material of different clothes determine that the washing environment of different clothes is not the same. Therefore, the market has launched a double-cylinder washing machine, that is, a washing machine with the function of washing different clothes.

[0045] In the related art, the laundry processing device with double cylinders and drying function may not be consistent when both cylinders are running, for example: one cylinder of the double cylinder performs washing forming, and the other cylinder performs drying forming, but the double cylinder is transported by the same drying module. Drying airflow, in turn, causes the drying module of the laundry processing device to provide drying airflow to the two cylinders at different times, so the airflow distribution of the drying module of the laundry processing device is a technical problem to be solved.

[0046] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides an airflow distribution device, a clothing processing equipment and its control method, which aims to solve the airflow distribution of the drying module to at least a certain extent, so as to adapt to the operation of the two drums of the clothing processing equipment.

[0047] The design concept of this application is as follows: An airflow distribution device connects the drying module and two drums of a garment processing equipment. When both drums are running a drying program, the airflow distribution device is controlled in a first operating state, allowing the drying module to communicate with both drums, and the drying airflow generated by the drying module is delivered to both drums. When one drum is running a drying program, the airflow distribution device is controlled in a second operating state, allowing the drying module to communicate with the drum running the drying program, while isolating the drying module from the other drum, and the drying airflow generated by the drying module is delivered to the drum running the drying program. When neither drum is running a drying program, the airflow distribution device is controlled in a third operating state, isolating the drying module from the two drums, and the drying airflow generated by the drying module is not delivered to the two drums. Based on this design concept, and through the attached... Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 14 The specific details of the airflow distribution device are further described.

[0048] Figure 1 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the airflow distribution device in a first state according to one or more embodiments of this application. Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates the airflow distribution device in its second state. Figure 3 It shows Figure 1 The diagram shows the airflow distribution device in its third state. (Combined with...) Figures 1-3 For ease of description, the airflow distribution device 10 is defined as a first airflow distribution device 10a, including a ventilation section 100. The ventilation section 100 has a communicating air inlet 102 and an air outlet 103. The drying airflow generated by the drying module is injected into the ventilation section 100 through the air inlet 102, and then led out to the corresponding communicating cylinder through the air outlet 103. Therefore, when the cylinder is in different operating programs, opening or closing the air outlet 103 communicating with the cylinder can introduce the drying airflow into the cylinder performing the drying program, or prevent the drying airflow from being introduced into the cylinder not performing the drying program.

[0049] Combination Figures 1-3In one embodiment, the ventilation section 100 has a columnar structure and a ventilation cavity 101, which is also columnar. An air inlet 102 and an air outlet 103 are spaced apart on the periphery of the ventilation section 100 and are both connected to the ventilation cavity 101. In another embodiment, the ventilation section 100 may also have a frustum-shaped, square, or other structural form, and the ventilation cavity 101 within the ventilation section 100 may also be frustum-shaped, allowing the components within the ventilation cavity 101 to rotate around the central axis of the ventilation cavity 101.

[0050] Combination Figures 1-3 In one embodiment, the air inlet 102 on the periphery of the ventilation section 100 is used to communicate with the output end of the drying module. Two air outlets 103 are provided at intervals on the periphery of the ventilation section 100. The two air outlets 103 are defined as the first air outlet 1031 and the second air outlet 1032, respectively. The cylinder communicating with the first air outlet 1031 is defined as the first cylinder, and the cylinder communicating with the second air outlet 1032 is defined as the second cylinder.

[0051] Combination Figures 1-3 The first airflow distribution device 10a provided in this application further includes a valve 200, which is rotatably connected within the ventilation section 100, i.e., the valve 200 is rotatably connected within the ventilation chamber 101. During valve rotation, the valve blocks either the first air outlet 1031 or the second air outlet 1032 to achieve the aforementioned airflow distribution purpose. Specifically, when the valve 200 blocks the first air outlet 1031, the air inlet 102 communicates with the second air outlet 1032; and when the valve 200 blocks the second air outlet 1032, the air inlet 102 communicates with the first air outlet 1031.

[0052] Figure 4 It shows Figures 1-3 The diagram shows the structure of valve 200. Valve 200 has a built-in distribution chamber 201. Ventilation ports 202, communicating with the distribution chamber 201, are spaced apart on the periphery of valve 200. The portion of valve 200 without ventilation ports 202 is defined as a blocking part 203. During the rotation of valve 200 within the ventilation chamber 101, the blocking part 203 partially blocks the air inlet 102 or a certain air outlet 103. The opening of the ventilation ports 202 of valve 200 connected to the air inlet 102 or a certain air outlet 103 of ventilation section 100 decreases, thereby adjusting the airflow at the air outlet 103 of ventilation section 100.

[0053] That is, when the valve 200 partially blocks the first air outlet 1031, the second air outlet 1032 is in communication with the air inlet 102, the air flow flux of the second air outlet 1032 is greater than that of the first air outlet 1031, thereby increasing the air flow flux of the cylinder body in communication with the second air outlet 1032; and when the valve 200 partially blocks the second air outlet 1032, the air flow flux of the first air outlet 1031 is greater than that of the second air outlet 1032, thereby increasing the air flow flux of the cylinder body in communication with the first air outlet 1031.

[0054] It should be noted that the air flow flux refers to the volume of gas transported through the pipeline per unit time. By adjusting the air flow flux of the air outlet 103 of the ventilation part 100, the air flow flux introduced into the cylinder body can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the drying temperature in the cylinder body and ensuring the drying effect.

[0055] In combination Figure 4 In an embodiment, three air vents 202 are arranged at intervals on the circumferential side of the valve 200. In a counterclockwise direction along the circumference of the valve 200, the three air vents 202 are defined as the first air vent 2021, the second air vent 2022, and the third air vent 2023, respectively. The circumferential side of the valve 200 between the first air vent 2021 and the second air vent 2022 is defined as the blocking part 203 of the valve 200.

[0056] In combination Figure 1 When the first cylinder body 3001 and the second cylinder body 3002 both perform the drying program, the valve 200 is controlled to rotate in the ventilation cavity 101. The first air vent 2021 of the valve 200 is in communication with the air inlet 102 of the ventilation part 100, the second air vent 2022 of the valve 200 is in communication with the first air outlet 1031 of the ventilation part 100, and the third air vent 2023 of the valve 200 is in communication with the second air outlet 1032 of the ventilation part 100. The first air flow distribution device 10a is in the first working state, so that the drying module 20 is in communication with the first cylinder body 3001 and the second cylinder body 3002, and the drying air flow generated by the drying module 20 is delivered into the first cylinder body 3001 and the second cylinder body 3002.

[0057] In combination Figure 2When one of the two drum performs the drying program, the control valve 200 rotates in the ventilation cavity 101, the second ventilation hole of the valve 200 communicates with the air inlet 102 of the ventilation part 100, the blocking part 203 of the valve 200 blocks the first air inlet 102 of the ventilation part 100, the first ventilation hole of the valve 200 communicates with the second air inlet 102 of the ventilation part 100, and the first airflow distribution device 10a is in the second working state, so that the drying airflow generated by the drying module is transported to the second drum communicated with the second air inlet 102 through the first airflow distribution device 10a; or, the third ventilation hole of the valve 200 communicates with the air inlet 102 of the ventilation part 100, the second ventilation hole of the valve 200 communicates with the first air inlet 102 of the ventilation part 100, the blocking part 203 of the valve 200 blocks the second air inlet 102 of the ventilation part 100, and the first airflow distribution device 10a is also in the second working state, so that the drying airflow generated by the drying module is transported to the first drum communicated with the first air inlet 102 through the first airflow distribution device 10a.

[0058] In combination Figure 3 When neither the first drum 3001 nor the second drum 3002 performs the drying program, the control valve 200 rotates in the ventilation cavity 101, the blocking part 203 of the valve 200 blocks the air inlet 102 of the ventilation part 100, so that the first airflow distribution device 10a is in the third working state, and the drying module 20 is isolated from the first drum 3001 and the second drum 3002, and the drying airflow generated by the drying module 20 cannot be transported into the first drum 3001 and the second drum 3002.

[0059] In combination Figure 4 In an embodiment, the three ventilation holes 202 and the blocking part 203 can be arranged at equal angles around the central axis of the valve 200, and the first airflow distribution device 10a can be in different working states by rotating the control valve 200 by 90°. In another embodiment, the three ventilation holes 202 and the blocking part 203 can also be arranged at unequal angles around the central axis of the valve 200, and the first airflow distribution device 10a can be in different working states by rotating the control valve 200 by a corresponding angle.

[0060] In combination Figure 4 The valve 200 of the present application is consistent with the shape of the ventilation cavity 101. In an embodiment, the valve 200 is a cylindrical structure matched with the ventilation cavity 101. In another embodiment, the valve 200 is a frustum structure matched with the ventilation cavity 101, which is not limited in the present application.

[0061] In order to avoid the leakage of the drying airflow between the outer circumferential side of the valve 200 and the inner side wall of the ventilation cavity 101, a sealing member is further arranged between the valve 200 and the ventilation part 100, i.e. the sealing member is arranged between the outer circumferential side of the valve 200 and the inner side wall of the ventilation cavity 101.

[0062] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of valve 200 equipped with first seal 300 is shown. Figure 6 It shows Figure 5 Front view diagram, Figure 7 It shows Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the AA cross-section. Combined with... Figures 5-7 In one embodiment, a first sealing element 300 is connected to the outer peripheral side of the valve 200. The first sealing element 300 is parallel to the axial direction of the valve 200, and its length is approximately the same as the axial length of the valve 200. The first sealing element 300 is connected to both sides of the vent 202 of the valve 200. This prevents leakage of the drying airflow between the outer peripheral side of the valve 200 and the inner side of the ventilation cavity 101 when the vent 202 of the valve 200 is connected to the air inlet 102 or air outlet 103 of the ventilation section 100. Specifically, a first connecting groove 204 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the valve 200. This first connecting groove 204 is arranged along the length of the valve 200, and its cross-section is T-shaped. The first sealing element 300 is also T-shaped and is embedded in the first connecting groove 204. The head of the first sealing element 300 protrudes from the outer peripheral side of the valve 200 and flexibly abuts against the inner wall of the ventilation cavity 101.

[0063] In another embodiment, the first seal 300 can also be connected to the inner wall of the ventilation cavity 101, or the first seal 300 can be connected to both the outer periphery of the valve 200 and the inner wall of the ventilation cavity 101, which can also achieve the technical effect of preventing the drying airflow from leaking between the outer periphery of the valve 200 and the inner side of the ventilation cavity 101. With the first seal 300 connected to the inner wall of the ventilation cavity 101, the first seal 300 is connected to both sides of the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103. As for the arrangement of the first seal 300 on the inner wall of the ventilation cavity 101, the arrangement of the first seal 300 on the outer wall of the valve 200 can be referred to, and will not be elaborated here.

[0064] Figure 8 It shows Figure 5 Another structural diagram from the perspective of Figure 9 It shows Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the BB cross-section. Combined with... Figure 8 as well as Figure 9In an embodiment, a second sealing member 400 is further arranged between the outer circumferential side of the axial two ends of the valve 200 and the inner side wall of the ventilation cavity 101 to avoid leakage of the drying air flow between the end of the valve 200 and the inner side of the ventilation cavity 101. In a specific implementation, a ring-shaped second connecting groove 205 is arranged on the outer circumferential side of the axial two ends of the valve 200, the cross section of the second connecting groove 205 is also T-shaped, the second sealing member 400 is also T-shaped, the second sealing member 400 is embedded into the second connecting groove 205, the head of the second sealing member 400 protrudes from the outer circumferential side of the valve 200 and flexibly abuts against the inner side wall of the ventilation cavity 101.

[0065] In combination Figure 8 and Figure 9 The lengthwise two ends of each first sealing member 300 abut against the second sealing member 400 of the axial two ends of the valve 200 to form a plurality of chambers corresponding to the ventilation ports 202 on the circumferential side of the valve 200 by the first sealing member 300, and each chamber is provided with a ventilation port 202 to enable independent output or input of the air flow.
