DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below, obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0047] The laundry treatment drum is prone to bacteria and mold breeding due to long-term closed and humid state, which will affect the washing effect of the laundry and cause harm to the human body.

[0048] Therefore, the laundry treatment device is provided, the fresh air structure is arranged between the cabinet and the laundry treatment drum, the fresh air shell of the fresh air structure is connected to the side wall of the cabinet, the air inlet of the fresh air shell is communicated with the inner cavity of the cabinet, the air outlet of the fresh air shell is communicated with the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum through the ventilation pipe, and the air in the cabinet can enter the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum through the air inlet, the air outlet and the ventilation pipe under the action of the fan, so that the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum is dried, and the problem of bacteria and mold breeding in the laundry treatment drum can be avoided to a certain extent.

[0049] The laundry treatment device provided by the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0050] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 The laundry treatment device provided by the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0051] The laundry treatment drum 2 and the fresh air structure 3 are both located in the cabinet 1, and the fresh air structure 3 is located outside the laundry treatment drum 2.

[0052] The fresh air structure 3 includes a ventilation pipe 31, a fresh air shell 32 and a fan located in the fresh air shell 32. The fresh air shell 32 is connected to the side wall 11 of the cabinet 1, the fresh air shell 32 has an air inlet 321 and an air outlet 322 in communication, the air inlet 321 is communicated with the inner cavity of the cabinet 1, and the two ends of the ventilation pipe 31 are respectively communicated with the air outlet 322 and the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 2, so that the air in the cabinet 1 can enter the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 2 through the air inlet 321, the air outlet 322 and the ventilation pipe 31 under the action of the fan.

[0053] Specifically, the cabinet 1 is the shell of the entire laundry treatment device, the laundry treatment drum 2 is located in the cabinet 1, and the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 2 is used for placing laundry and performing washing or drying operations on the laundry.

[0054] The fresh air structure 3 is located in the cabinet 1 and outside the entire laundry treatment drum 2, and is used to realize the fresh air function in the laundry treatment drum 2, that is, to dry or purify the laundry treatment drum 2.

[0055] Specifically, the fresh air structure 3 includes a fresh air shell 32, a fan, and a ventilation pipe 31. The fan is located in the inner cavity of the fresh air shell 32. The fresh air shell 32 is provided with an air inlet 321 and an air outlet 322 that are in communication with each other. The air outlet 322 is in communication with the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 2 through the ventilation pipe 31, so that the air in the cabinet 1 can enter the fresh air shell 32 through the air inlet 321 under the suction of the fan, and then be transported to the laundry treatment drum 2 through the air outlet 322 and the ventilation pipe 31, so as to dry the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 2, thereby avoiding the problem that the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 2 is prone to breeding bacteria or mold due to long-term humid environment, so as to ensure the washing effect and avoid the harm of bacteria and mold residues to the human body.

[0056] Since the cabinet 1 is relatively stable relative to the laundry treatment drum 2 when the laundry treatment device is in use, and the structure of the cabinet 1 itself is relatively stable, compared with the mode of connecting the fresh air structure 3 on the detergent box 4 in a hanging posture or on the laundry treatment drum 2, directly connecting the fresh air shell 32 on the cabinet 1 can effectively improve the connection stability of the fresh air structure 3.

[0057] Exemplarily, the fresh air structure 3 can be arranged in a posture substantially parallel to the side wall 11 of the cabinet 1, so as to effectively utilize the internal space of the cabinet 1 and conveniently and stably realize the reliable connection between the fresh air shell 32 and the side wall 11.

[0058] Exemplarily, the cabinet 1 includes a front wall and a rear wall which are oppositely arranged along a front-rear direction (the front refers to the direction facing the user when in use, that is, the direction in which the laundry putting opening of the laundry treatment drum 2 faces, and the specific front-rear direction is shown in Figure 1 Exemplarily, the cabinet 1 includes a front wall and a rear wall which are oppositely arranged along a front-rear direction (the front refers to the direction facing the user when in use, that is, the direction in which the laundry putting opening of the laundry treatment drum 2 faces, and the specific front-rear direction is shown in

[0059] For example, the fan can be a centrifugal fan, with the air inlet and outlet directions perpendicular, meaning the plane of the air inlet 321 and the plane of the air outlet 322 are perpendicular. If the fresh air structure 3 is arranged parallel to the side wall 11 of the housing 1, the air inlet 321 can be located on the side of the fresh air housing 32 closest to the side wall 11 of the housing 1, and the plane of the air inlet 321 can be parallel to the side wall 11. The air outlet 322 can be located on the top of the fresh air housing 32.

[0060] Alternatively, in other implementations, the air inlet 321 can be located at the top of the fresh air housing 32, while the air outlet 322 can be located on the side of the fresh air housing 32 away from the side wall 11.

[0061] In addition, in other implementations, the fan can also be an axial flow fan.

[0062] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a specific implementation, a detergent box 4 can also be installed inside the housing 1. Compared with the solution of connecting the fresh air structure to the detergent box, the air outlet 322 in this embodiment is directly connected to the inner cavity of the clothes handling drum 2 through the ventilation pipe 31. Therefore, it is not necessary to connect the inner cavity of the detergent box between the air outlet of the fresh air structure and the inner cavity of the clothes handling drum through a pipe. Thus, the air flow path can be simplified to a certain extent, and the air flow resistance can be reduced to a certain extent, so as to increase the air volume and improve the fresh air efficiency.

[0063] For example, the ventilation duct 31 can be a flexible tube made of flexible material, such as rubber or silicone, so as to adjust the direction of the ventilation duct 31, thereby facilitating the connection between the air outlet 322 and the clothing processing tube 2, and saving internal space of the box 1 to a certain extent, which is conducive to the miniaturization of clothing processing equipment.

[0064] Alternatively, in other implementations, the ventilation duct 31 can also be a bendable plastic tube or an alloy tube with bending points, etc., so that the ventilation duct 31 can be bent according to the direction, thereby realizing the connection between the air outlet 322 and the clothing handling tube 2.

[0065] The clothing processing device in this embodiment can be a washing machine, such as a front-loading washing machine or a top-loading washing machine. Alternatively, the clothing processing device can also be a washer-dryer combo, etc., but this embodiment is not limited to these.

[0066] The laundry treatment device provided by the embodiment comprises a box body 1, a laundry treatment drum 2 and a fresh air structure 3. The laundry treatment drum 2 and the fresh air structure 3 are arranged in the box body 1, and the fresh air structure 3 is arranged outside the laundry treatment drum 2. The fresh air structure 3 comprises a fresh air shell 32, a ventilation pipe 31 and a fan. The fresh air shell 32 is connected to the side wall 11 of the box body 1, and the air inlet 321 of the fresh air shell 32 is in communication with the inner cavity of the box body 1. The air outlet 322 of the fresh air shell 32 is in communication with the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 2 through the ventilation pipe 31. Thus, the air in the box body 1 can enter the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 2 through the air inlet 321, the air outlet 322 and the ventilation pipe 31 under the action of the fan, so as to at least dry the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 2, thereby avoiding the problem that bacteria and mold are easily bred in the laundry treatment drum 2 to a certain extent, so as to ensure the washing effect and avoid the harm to the human body caused by the residues of bacteria and mold.

[0067] At the same time, compared with the scheme that the fresh air structure 3 is connected to the detergent box 4, the fresh air structure 3 of the embodiment is directly connected to the box body 1, so that the connection stability of the fresh air structure 3 can be greatly improved to avoid the risk of falling.

[0068] In addition, the fresh air structure 3 is directly communicated with the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 2 through the ventilation pipe 31, without the need that the inner cavity of the detergent box 4 is communicated between the air outlet 322 of the fresh air structure 3 and the inner cavity of the laundry treatment drum 2 through a pipeline, so that the air circulation path can be simplified to a certain extent, and the air circulation resistance can be reduced to improve the fresh air efficiency.

[0069] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the side wall 11 has a reinforcing piece 5, and the fresh air shell 32 is connected to the reinforcing piece 5.

[0070] Specifically, the fresh air shell 32 can be connected to the reinforcing piece 5, or the fresh air shell 32 can be connected to both the reinforcing piece 5 and the side wall 11, so as to further improve the stability of the installation position of the fresh air structure 3.

[0071] For example, the reinforcing piece 5 can be located on the top surface of the side wall 11 of the box body 1 and be screwed to the side wall 11, or the reinforcing piece 5 can be partially located on the top surface of the side wall 11 of the box body 1 and partially be arranged on the top surface of the rear wall of the box body 1, so as to ensure that the position of the reinforcing piece 5 on the box body 1 is highly reliable.

[0072] For example, the reinforcing piece 5 can be a reinforcing rib plate, a reinforcing block or the like.

[0073] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the detergent box 4 is connected to the reinforcing piece 5.

[0074] That is, the detergent box 4 can be connected with the reinforcing member 5 for connecting the fresh air duct 32 at the same time, so that no additional structure is needed to be arranged to assemble the detergent box 4, thus the internal structure of the clothes treatment apparatus can be simplified, and meanwhile, the reliable assembly of the detergent box 4 in the cabinet 1 can be realized.

[0075] Specifically, the detergent box 4 and the reinforcing member 5 can be connected in a screwing manner.

[0076] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 It is shown that the fresh air duct 32 and the detergent box 4 are sequentially arranged in the direction from the rear wall of the cabinet 1 to the front wall of the cabinet 1.

[0077] That is, the fresh air duct 32 can be located at the rear side of the detergent box 4, that is, the detergent box 4 and the fresh air duct 32 are sequentially arranged in the direction from the front wall to the rear wall of the cabinet 1, so that the space at the rear side of the detergent box 4 can be effectively utilized to accommodate the fresh air duct 32, so as to improve the space utilization in the cabinet 1.

[0078] In some embodiments, at least one positioning member 41 for positioning the ventilation pipe 31 is arranged in the cabinet 1.

[0079] By cooperating the positioning member 41 with the ventilation pipe 31, the running direction of the ventilation pipe 31 can be constrained to a certain extent, so as to further improve the stability of the whole fresh air structure, to stably provide fresh air to the clothes treatment drum, and make the running direction of the ventilation pipe 31 more regular, so as to further save the internal space of the cabinet 1, and avoid the position interference between the ventilation pipe 31 and other components.

[0080] Exemplarily, the positioning member 41 can be a cable tie or a buckle, etc.

[0081] Specifically, the positioning member 41 can be arranged on the detergent box 4, so as to effectively utilize the position on the detergent box 4 to arrange the positioning member 41.

[0082] Exemplarily, the positioning member 41 can be arranged in a plurality, and the plurality of positioning members 41 can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the detergent box 4, so as to constrain the running direction of the ventilation pipe 31 through the plurality of positioning members 41, further improve the stability of the fresh air structure, and make the running direction of the ventilation pipe 31 more regular, so as to avoid the problem of pipe disorder.

[0083] Exemplarily, the positioning member 41 can be adhered to the outer side of the detergent box 4, or can be fixed to the outer side of the detergent box 4 in a clamping manner.

[0084] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the clothes treatment drum 2 is provided with a return air port 21 which is in communication with the inner cavity of the clothes treatment drum 2, and the return air port 21 is in communication with the pipeline of the detergent box 4.

[0085] That is, after the air in the cabinet 1 is sequentially delivered into the clothes treatment drum 2 through the air inlet 321, the air outlet 322 and the ventilation pipe 31 by the fan, the air can be sequentially discharged out of the cabinet 1 through the return air port 21 and the detergent box 4 after flowing in the clothes treatment drum 2, so as to realize the circulation of the air and then accelerate the drying efficiency in the clothes treatment drum 2.

[0086] By providing the return air port 21 on the outer wall of the clothes treatment drum 2 in communication with the detergent box 4, the air in the clothes treatment drum 2 can be discharged through the return air port 21, without the need to additionally provide an exhaust pipe in the clothes treatment drum 2, so as to simplify the structure and avoid the problem of disorder caused by too many pipelines. In addition, the provision of the return air port 21 can also play a role in maintaining the air pressure balance in the clothes treatment drum 2.

[0087] In specific implementation, the clothes treatment drum 2 includes an inner drum and an outer drum sleeved outside the inner drum, and a water passing gap is formed between the inner drum and the outer drum. Specifically, the return air port 21 can be provided on the top wall of the outer drum to a certain extent to avoid the washing water or washing foam from being discharged out of the clothes treatment drum 2 through the return air port 21.

[0088] In order to further prevent the washing water or washing foam from entering the return air port 21, a control valve can also be provided in the return air port 21, which can control the opening of the return air port 21 when the fan is started.

[0089] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the cabinet 1 is provided with a support 9, and the fresh air shell 32 is connected to the side wall 11 of the cabinet 1 through the support 9. In this way, the assembly of the fresh air shell 32 is more convenient, and the stability of the connection of the fresh air shell 32 is improved.

[0090] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the support 9 is located between the air inlet 321 and the side wall 11, and is connected to the fresh air shell 32 and the side wall 11 respectively. The support 9 is provided with a ventilation port 91 corresponding to the air inlet 321, which is in communication with the air inlet 321 and the inner cavity of the cabinet 1 respectively.

[0091] When it is necessary to dry the clothes in the clothes treatment drum 2, the air in the cabinet 1 can be sequentially introduced into the fresh air shell 32 through the ventilation port 91 and the air inlet 321, and then delivered into the clothes treatment drum 2 through the air outlet 322 and the ventilation pipe 31, so as to perform the drying operation.

[0092] In addition, by arranging the support 9 between the air inlet 321 and the side wall 11, the support 9 can separate the air inlet 321 and the side wall 11 to a certain extent, so as to ensure that there is enough gap between the air inlet 321 and the side wall 11, that is, the air inlet 321 is not too close to the side wall 11, so as to reduce the air resistance of the air entering the fresh air shell 32 through the air inlet 321, thereby improving the fresh air efficiency.

[0093] In some embodiments, the projection of the air inlet 321 on the support 9 is located within the area surrounded by the air vent 91.

[0094] By arranging the projection of the air inlet 321 on the support 9 to be within the area surrounded by the air vent 91, that is, the air vent 91 has a large caliber, a large amount of air in the cabinet 1 can enter the air vent 91 and then enter the air inlet 321, so as to ensure the fresh air efficiency, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of too small air volume entering the air inlet 321 due to too small caliber of the air vent 91.

[0095] Specifically, the air vent 91 is provided with a wind guide 92 located on the side of the air vent 91 facing the air inlet 321, and the wind guide 92 is provided with a wind guide hole 93 communicating with the air vent 91 and the air inlet 321.

[0096] That is, in order to make a large amount of air entering the air vent 91 fully enter the air inlet 321, the wind guide 92 can be arranged on the side of the air vent 91 facing the air inlet 321, so that the air entering the air vent 91 is gathered and guided by the wind guide 92 and then enters the air inlet 321, thereby further improving the air volume at the air inlet 321.

[0097] Referring to Figures 3 to 7 As shown in the figure, the fresh air shell 32 is provided with a first connecting hole 323, the support 9 is provided with a second connecting hole 94, and the side wall 11 is provided with a third connecting hole. The fresh air shell 32, the support 9 and the side wall 11 are connected together by a first fastener penetrating the first connecting hole 323, the second connecting hole 94 and the third connecting hole.

[0098] Specifically, by directly connecting the fresh air shell 32, the support 9 and the side wall 11 together through the first fastener, the connection operation can be simplified and the assembly efficiency can be improved.

[0099] For example, the first connecting hole 323, the second connecting hole 94 and the third connecting hole can all be light holes, and the first fastener can be a fastening pin matched with the light holes. Alternatively, the first connecting hole 323 and the second connecting hole 94 can be light holes and the third connecting hole can be a threaded hole, and the first fastener can be a fastening screw or bolt.

[0100] Exemplarily, the first connecting hole 323 can be at least two, and the second connecting hole 94 and the third connecting hole are arranged one by one corresponding to the first connecting hole 323, so as to further improve the mounting stability of the fresh air shell 32 in the cabinet 1.

[0101] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the extension plate 328 can be arranged on the fresh air shell 32, and the first connecting hole 323 is arranged on the extension plate 328.

[0102] Further, in addition to being connected by the first fastener, the support 9 and the fresh air shell 32 are also connected by the second fastener, so as to further improve the connection stability between the two.

[0103] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the support 9 is provided with the lap joint part 96, which is arranged on the reinforcing part 5 of the side wall 11, and the lap joint part 96 and the reinforcing part 5 are connected by the third fastener.

[0104] That is, in addition to being connected to the side wall 11 by the first fastener, the support 9 can also be connected to the reinforcing part 5 on the side wall 11 by the lap joint part 96 arranged on the support 9, that is, by being connected to the cabinet 1 and the reinforcing part 5 at the same time, so as to further improve the mounting stability of the support 9, and then realize the mounting stability of the fresh air shell 32 in the cabinet 1.
