[0053] Embodiment 1

[0054] As Figures 1-5 shown, the present embodiment provides a steam generating device, comprising:

[0055] Water injection port 17, the water injection port 17 is arranged on the front support 10, the front support 10 is provided with clothes putting port 18, the clothes putting port 18 is communicated with washing barrel, for putting clothes, the water injection port 17 is located in the side wall of clothes putting port 18;

[0056] Heating device 100, the water injection port 17 is connected with heating device 100 through water injection port water pipe 13, the heating device 100 can store and heat the water injected by water injection port 17 to generate steam, and make steam injection to washing barrel.

[0057] The present application sets up water injection port 17 on the side wall of clothes putting port 18, which can hide or expose water injection port 17 by opening and closing the upper sealing door, improve the overall aesthetic, while reducing the position of water injection port 17 in steam generating device, facilitate user to add water for heating device 100, improve the convenience of user operation.

[0058] As a preferred example of the present application, the bottom wall of the clothes putting port 18 is provided with a filter box 16, and the water injection port 17 is located on one side of the filter box 16.

[0059] The water inlet 17 of the heating device 100 is separately arranged with the filter box 16 on the front support 10, and the position near the filter box 16 on the front support 10 is used as the design position of the water inlet 17, and the structural workpiece on the front support 10 is reasonably utilized. When the door on the front support 10 is opened, the water inlet 17 is exposed. This arrangement can make full use of the space on the front support 10, and also facilitate the user to pour water into the water inlet 17.

[0060] As a preferred example of the present application, the heating device 100 is provided with a water storage compartment 101, and the water inlet 17 is arranged at a position higher than the water storage compartment 101.

[0061] The water inlet 17 is arranged at a position higher than the water storage compartment 101, which simplifies the water flow path, avoids unnecessary pipelines or complex water flow structures, improves the compactness of the equipment, and enables the injected water to flow smoothly into the water storage compartment 101 by gravity. The user can more intuitively observe the water level when adding water, and the risk of water overflow is avoided.

[0062] As a preferred example of the present application, the water inlet 17 is provided with a sealing cover 11 for sealing the water inlet 17.

[0063] This arrangement further ensures the reliability of water injection, prevents foreign matter from entering the heating device 100 through the water inlet 17, damages the heating device 100 or affects the steam quality, and effectively prevents water in the heating device 100 from splashing out, reducing the electrical safety hazard.

[0064] As a preferred example of the present application, the water inlet 17 is provided with a third filter structure for blocking clothes from entering the water inlet 17.

[0065] The third filter structure can effectively filter out impurities in the water, prevent impurities from entering the water storage compartment 101 or the heating device 100, avoid the heating device being blocked, corroded or damaged by impurities, ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment, and also avoid clothes entering the inside of the heating device 100 during the water injection process, improving the reliability of the use of the heating device 100.

[0066] As a preferred example of the present application, the clothes treatment apparatus includes a heat pump system and a circulating air duct cover plate 8 arranged in cooperation with the heat pump system. The heat pump system includes a condenser arranged in a circulating air duct formed by the circulating air duct cover plate 8. The steam generated by the heating device 100 is directly input into the washing tub or input into the washing tub through the circulating air duct.

[0067] This design can effectively shorten the distance of steam transmission, reduce heat loss, enable the steam to quickly and efficiently reach the washing tub, improve the heating effect, reduce the heating time, and improve the overall work efficiency.

[0068] A steam exhaust pipe 501 is arranged at the steam exhaust outlet of the heating device 100, one end of the steam exhaust pipe 501 is connected with the heating device 100, the other end is connected with the inner side of the circulating air duct cover plate 8, and the connection point of the steam exhaust pipe 501 and the circulating air duct cover plate 8 is located on the downstream side of the condenser.

[0069] The downstream side means that the air in the circulating air duct first passes through the condenser and then reaches the connection point of the steam exhaust pipe 501 and the circulating air duct cover plate 8. In the prior art, even if a steam generating structure is arranged in the clothes treatment equipment, the generated steam is usually directly discharged into the clothes drying cavity. On the one hand, when the steam is generated, part of the unevaporated water droplets will be directly sent to the surface of the clothes, which will form water stains on the surface of the clothes, affect the drying effect of the clothes, and even cause damage to the clothes. On the other hand, the steam conveying distance is long, which makes the steam temperature drop a lot, and the water in the steam also forms water droplets, which is easy to form water stains on the clothes, affects the drying effect of the clothes, and even causes damage to the clothes. In the present application, the circulating air duct cover plate 8 is used to form a circulating air duct. Since the heating device 100 is arranged on the circulating air duct cover plate 8, the steam exhaust pipe 501 can convey the steam into the circulating air duct by penetrating the circulating air duct cover plate 8, which greatly shortens the conveying distance. On the other hand, when the steam exhaust pipe 501 discharges the steam into the circulating air duct cover plate 8, the circulating air duct also has high-temperature dry air, so that the steam is further heated, and the water droplets contained in the steam are also converted into steam, which significantly reduces the water content of the steam, thereby avoiding the formation of water stains on the clothes and significantly improving the drying effect of the clothes.

[0070] As a preferred example of the present application, the front support 10 is provided with a steam nozzle 15 located on the upper side of the water inlet 17. The steam nozzle 15 is connected with the heating device 100 through a connecting water pipe 14 and can spray the steam generated by the heating device 100 into the washing tub.

[0071] The steam nozzle 15 can atomize the steam into fine water vapor particles, so that the steam can be more uniformly diffused into the washing tub. In this way, the steam can cover every corner of the clothes, ensuring that the treatment of the clothes by the steam is more uniform, thereby more effectively removing wrinkles, odors or stains on the clothes. Since the atomized steam particles can quickly contact and evaporate on the surface of the clothes, water droplets are prevented from condensing on the surface of the clothes, thereby improving the drying effect and use efficiency of the steam.

[0072] As a preferred example of the present application, the heating device 100 comprises a support seat 1, which is provided with a water storage bin 101 and a heating bin 104, a water conveying pipe 103 is arranged between the water storage bin 101 and the heating bin 104, and the water conveying pipe 103 is used for conveying water in the water storage bin 101 to the heating bin 104; a heater 5 is arranged in the heating bin 104, the heater 5 is used for heating water to form steam, the water storage bin 101 is used for storing water, and the water in the water storage bin 101 is heated to form steam after being conveyed into the heating bin 104, the steam is conveyed into a clothes treatment equipment, and is used for eliminating wrinkles on clothes when drying clothes, and a support seat cover plate 9 is arranged in the support seat 1, so that the water storage bin 101 and the heating bin 104 each form an independent sealed space.

[0073] Through the arrangement of the heating device 100, steam is conveyed into the clothes treatment equipment, and the steam can have a certain ironing effect due to containing a certain amount of water, so as to eliminate wrinkles on clothes, and the dried clothes can be directly worn, thereby improving the use experience of a user.

[0074] The water storage bin 101 is used for centrally storing water, and the heating bin 104 is used for heating the water, so that the water source and the heating process can be effectively managed in a centralized manner, and the overall structure of the heating device 100 is more simple and efficient.

[0075] Preferably, a water pump 2 is further arranged in the heating bin 104, a water inlet of the water pump 2 is connected with the water conveying pipe 103, and a water outlet of the water pump 2 is connected with the heater 5. Specifically, the specific structure of the heater 5 can refer to the structure of the prior art for heating water to generate steam, and details are not described herein again. The water pump 2 is used for driving water to flow from the water storage bin 101 into the heating bin 104, thereby improving the generation efficiency of steam.

[0076] As one of the optional embodiments, a second filter structure 4 is arranged at a water inlet of the water storage bin 101. The second filter structure 4 is used for filtering water entering the water storage bin 101. Preferably, the second filter structure 4 is also arranged at a connection position of the water conveying pipe 103 and the water storage bin 101. Therefore, the second filter structure 4 can filter water entering and flowing out of the water storage bin 101, so as to ensure the normal work of the heater 5. Optionally, the second filter structure 4 is a filter sponge.

[0077] As one of the embodiments of the present application, a water level sensor 3 is further arranged in the water storage bin 101, and the water level sensor 3 is used for detecting the water level in the water storage bin 101. Optionally, the water level sensor 3 is linked with an alarm device to remind a user when the water amount is insufficient or the water amount is full.

[0078] As one of the preferred embodiments, the overflow pipe 102 is arranged on the water storage bin 101, which is used to drain the excess water in the water storage bin 101. When the user fills water, the overflow pipe 102 can drain the excess water to ensure the normal operation of the steam ironing system.

[0079] As one of the optional embodiments, the support seat cover plate 9 is fixedly connected with the support seat 1 through the screw connection structure and the buckle structure. After the buckle structure is matched and clamped, the screw connection structure can be automatically aligned, thereby improving the assembly speed and improving the production efficiency.

[0080] As one of the preferred embodiments, the wiring seat 901 is arranged on the upper side of the side of the support seat cover plate 9 close to the heating bin 104, and the wiring seat 901 is used for the wiring of the heater 5 and the water pump 2 and the outside. The arrangement of the wiring seat 901 is conducive to the quick plug-in of the external wiring, thereby improving the assembly speed.

[0081] As an embodiment of the utility model, the clothes treatment equipment further includes a pullable condensate water box support 7, a water inlet groove 701 is arranged on the condensate water box support 7, the bottom of the water inlet groove 701 is connected with one end of the water inlet pipe 6, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 6 is connected with the water storage bin 101. In the prior art, the steam generation structure of part of the clothes treatment equipment uses the condensate water in the condensate water box as the water source. Since a large amount of lint is generated when clothes are dried, the condensate water also contains a large amount of lint. The lint entering the steam generation structure will seriously affect the normal operation of the steam generation structure, thereby causing a high failure rate of the steam generation structure. The condensate water box support 7 is used to detachably arrange the condensate water box. When it is necessary to add water to the water storage bin 101, the condensate water box support 7 is pulled out, the condensate water box is removed, and then pure water is injected into the water inlet groove 701. The connection position of the water inlet pipe 6 and the water inlet groove 701 has a large drop, so that the water level of the water pump 2 is low. The water pump 2 with the low water level makes the water storage bin 101 have little residual water after each water injection, reduces the problem that the long-time residual water gathers and emits odor, and affects the clothes in the barrel. It should be noted that when the condensate water box is arranged on the condensate water box support 7, the condensate water box shields the water inlet groove 701. This arrangement makes the structure more compact and prevents foreign matters from entering the water inlet groove 701, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the heating device 100.

[0082] As one of the preferred embodiments, a first filtering structure 702 is arranged at the connecting position of the water inlet groove 701 and the water inlet pipe 6. The first filtering structure 702 is used for filtering the water entering the water storage bin 101, so as to avoid sundries entering the water storage bin 101. Optionally, the first filtering structure 702 is a filter screen, a sponge or other structure capable of filtering sundries in water.

[0087] The first accommodating groove 2501 provides a stable guiding position, ensuring that the water storage box 20 can be accurately and firmly assembled in place, avoiding displacement or loosening of the water storage box 20 during use, and ensuring the stability of long-term operation of the equipment.

[0088] As the preferred example of the present application, the first accommodating groove 2501 and the water storage box 20 are communicated through the one-way valve 21 of the plug and the socket.

[0111] The steam spray head 15 can atomize the steam into fine water vapor particles, allowing the steam to uniformly diffuse into the washing drum 27 and cover every corner of the clothes. This not only effectively removes wrinkles, odors, and stains from the clothes, but also avoids water droplets from condensing on the surface of the clothes, improves the steam drying effect and use efficiency, and eliminates wrinkles through the ironing effect of the steam, allowing the clothes to be directly worn after drying and improving the user experience.

[0112] As a preferred example of the present application, the spray head is arranged as a second atomizing spray head 22 capable of spraying water into the washing drum 27 in the form of atomized water vapor.

[0113] The second atomizing nozzle 22 sprays the water into the washing barrel 27 in the form of atomized water vapor, which can quickly spread and uniformly cover each part of the clothes, ensuring the penetration effect of the atomized water vapor and avoiding concentration on a certain part, so as to more comprehensively wet the clothes and help improve the decontamination, wrinkle removal and disinfection effects and better meet the clothes treatment requirements; in the present application, the nozzle can be set as a steam nozzle or an atomizing nozzle according to the needs of different models, without the need to change the position of the nozzle, and the type of the nozzle can be used to determine whether the heating device 100 delivers high-temperature steam to the steam nozzle or water to the atomizing nozzle, without the need to adjust the position of the heating device 100, which is convenient for production and processing.

[0114] As a preferred example of the present application, a water pump is arranged on the connecting water pipe 14, and the water pump is arranged on the front support 10, which is used to deliver the water in the heating device 100 to the second atomizing nozzle 22.

[0115] The water pump is used to deliver the water in the heating device 100 to the second atomizing nozzle 22, which can ensure that the water stably and continuously reaches the nozzle, and then the second atomizing nozzle 22 stably sprays the water into the washing barrel 27 in the form of atomized water vapor, ensuring the stability and continuity of the clothes treatment effect, and at the same time, the water pump is arranged on the front support 10, which is cooperated with the nozzle, the heating device 100 and other components to make the structure inside the whole device more compact and reasonable, fully utilize the internal space of the device, and help improve the integration and aesthetics of the whole device.

[0116] As a preferred example of the present application, the heating device 100 comprises a support seat 1, which is provided with a water storage compartment 101 and a heating compartment 104, and a water delivery pipe 103 is arranged between the water storage compartment 101 and the heating compartment 104, which is used to deliver the water in the water storage compartment 101 to the heating compartment 104; a heater 5 is arranged in the heating compartment 104, which is used to heat the water to form steam, the water storage compartment 101 is used to store water, and the water in the water storage compartment 101 is heated in the heating compartment 104 to form steam, which is sprayed into the washing barrel 27 through the steam nozzle 15.

[0117] It is emphasized that when the nozzle is set as an atomizing nozzle, the heating device 100 is only designed as a water storage box to store water and supply water to the atomizing nozzle, and when the nozzle is set as a steam nozzle, the heating device 100 is provided with a water storage compartment 101 and a heating compartment 104, which is used to deliver high-temperature steam to the steam nozzle.

[0118] The water storage compartment 101 centrally stores the water source, and the heating compartment 104 is specially responsible for heating, and such partitioning makes the management of the water source and the heating process more efficient, the overall structure is simple, steam can be quickly generated and delivered to the steam nozzle, the heating time is reduced, and the working efficiency is improved.

[0119] As a preferred example of the present application, the heater 5 transports steam into the circulating air duct through the steam exhaust pipe 501 passing through the circulating air duct cover plate 8.

[0120] Under this arrangement, the steam exhaust pipe 501 exhausts steam into the circulating air duct, and the high-temperature dry drying gas in the circulating air duct can further heat the steam, so that the water droplets carried by the steam are converted into steam, significantly reducing the water content of the steam, avoiding water stains on the clothes, and improving the drying effect of the clothes. Secondly, the steam exhaust pipe 501 transports steam into the circulating air duct by passing through the circulating air duct cover plate 8, shortening the steam transmission distance and reducing the loss of heat energy in the transmission process. At the same time, the steam is heated again by the gas in the circulating air duct, achieving secondary utilization of energy, improving energy utilization efficiency, reducing equipment energy consumption, and on the other hand, introducing steam into the circulating air duct reduces the independent steam exhaust structure, making the internal structure of the equipment more compact, reducing the complexity of equipment design and manufacturing, and saving internal space of the equipment, which helps to improve the overall integration of the equipment.
