Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, and in particular to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing devices such as dryers and washer-dryer combos are household or commercial appliances that use mechanical, electronic, and thermodynamic technologies to clean, dry, and care for clothes. As consumers' living standards improve, their requirements for clothing processing devices are also increasing.

[0003] Clothing handling devices typically consist of a housing and a drum assembly. The drum assembly contains a clothing handling chamber. A drying air duct is formed within the housing; both ends of the drying air duct connect to the clothing handling chamber, creating a circulating drying airflow within the drying air duct and the clothing handling chamber to achieve the drying function for the clothing within the clothing handling chamber.

[0004] Clothing handling devices with drying functions typically include a heat pump system. This system comprises a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser. The compressor compresses the refrigerant, the evaporator condenses and cools the airflow, and the condenser heats the airflow. When airflow passes over the evaporator and condenser, lint easily adheres to the surfaces and is difficult to clean. This accumulation of lint on the evaporator and condenser surfaces creates excessive air resistance, affecting airflow and thus drying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0056] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a clothing processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of the internal structure of a clothing processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the garment processing device provided in this embodiment of the present invention may include a housing 1. The housing 1 may be constructed as the outer shell of the garment processing device. The housing 1 may typically have a hollow cuboid structure. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the external shape of the housing 1 may be designed as needed, and is not limited here. The interior of the housing 1 may be used to provide installation space.

[0058] In some embodiments, a clothing inlet (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the front side wall of the housing 1. This clothing inlet can connect to the internal space of the housing 1. Clothes can be placed into the housing 1 through the clothing inlet for washing.

[0059] Please see Figures 1 to 2As shown, in some embodiments, a door 11 may be provided on the front side wall of the box body 1. The door 11 can be used to open and close the clothing inlet on the front side wall of the box body 1, thereby opening and closing the space inside the box body 1 through the door 11.

[0060] In some embodiments, the door 11 and the body 1 can be connected by a hinge, and the door 11 can rotate around the axis of the hinge, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the door 11 and opening and closing the clothing inlet.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment handling device may include a tubular assembly 2. The tubular assembly 2 may be disposed within the housing 1. The tubular assembly 2 may extend along the front-rear direction of the housing 1. A garment handling chamber 20 may be formed within the tubular assembly 2. A tubular opening may be formed on the front end face of the tubular assembly 2. This tubular opening communicates with the interior of the garment handling chamber 20. This tubular opening is directly opposite the garment inlet and the door 11 of the housing 1. When the door 11 is opened, garments can be sequentially placed into the garment handling chamber 20 within the tubular assembly 2 through the garment inlet at the front of the housing 1 and the tubular opening at the front end of the tubular assembly 2 for washing, dehydration, and other operations. When the housing 1 is closed, the housing 1 can simultaneously close the garment inlet and the garment handling chamber 20.

[0062] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the tub assembly 2 may include an outer tub 21. The outer tub 21 may be disposed inside the housing 1. The outer tub 21 may be configured as a tub for containing washing water. The internal space of the outer tub 21 can be used to hold washing liquids, such as water, detergent, fabric softener, etc.

[0064] In some embodiments, the tubular assembly 2 may include an inner tubing 22. The inner tubing 22 may be disposed inside the outer tubing 21. A clothes handling chamber 20 may be formed inside the inner tubing 22. The clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tubing 22 is used to hold clothes to be washed. A water passage hole (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the peripheral wall of the inner tubing 22. The clothes handling chamber 20 can connect the space between the inner tubing 22 and the outer tubing 21 through the water passage hole. The washing liquid in the outer tubing 21 can enter the clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tubing 22 through the water passage hole, that is, the washing liquid in the space between the inner tubing 22 and the outer tubing 21 can enter the clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tubing 22 through the water passage hole.

[0065] In some embodiments, the inner drum 22 may be rotatably disposed inside the outer drum 21. When the inner drum 22 rotates relative to the outer drum 21, the inner drum 22 can drive the clothes to rotate relative to the outer drum 21, thereby realizing the washing function of the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 20 of the inner drum 22 and improving the uniformity of washing and dehydration of the clothes.

[0066] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the clothing processing chamber 20 can also be used to dry clothes, such as in a dryer or washer-dryer combo.

[0067] In some embodiments, the outer cylinder 21 and the inner cylinder 22 may also be arranged coaxially inside and outside. The front end of the outer cylinder 21 and the front end of the inner cylinder 22 may be provided with openings arranged opposite to each other. The front end opening of the outer cylinder 21 and the front end opening of the inner cylinder 22 can be combined to form the cylinder opening of the cylinder assembly 2.

[0068] In some embodiments, the tubular assembly 2 may include a door seal ring 23. The door seal ring 23 may be disposed at the front opening of the tubular assembly 2. The door seal ring 23 may be an annular structure. The door seal ring 23 may be made of an elastic sealing material. The door seal ring 23 is arranged around the periphery of the clothing inlet and the periphery of the opening of the tubular assembly 2. The periphery of the front end of the door seal ring 23 is sealed to the periphery of the clothing inlet of the housing 1, and the periphery of the rear end of the door seal ring 23 is sealed to the periphery of the opening of the outer tubular 21, thereby sealing the gap between the clothing inlet of the housing 1 and the opening of the outer tubular 21. Thus, when the door 11 closes the clothing inlet at the front of the housing 1, the door 11 can seal against the door seal ring 23. The door seal ring 23 can prevent water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from entering the housing 1, while the door 11 can prevent water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from overflowing from the clothing inlet of the housing 1.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the cylinder assembly 2 may be provided with an air inlet 201 and an air return outlet 202. The air inlet 201 and the air return outlet 202 may be connected to the clothing processing chamber 20. Drying air can enter the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes inside the clothing processing chamber 20. During the drying process, the drying air can remove moisture from the clothes, thereby forming hot and humid air, which can be discharged from the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air return outlet 202, thus realizing the clothing drying function.

[0070] In some embodiments, the air inlet 201 and the air return outlet 202 may be respectively located at the front and rear ends of the cylindrical assembly 2. The air inlet 201 may be located on the outer wall of the front end of the cylindrical assembly 2. The air inlet 201 may be located at the door seal ring 23. The air return outlet 202 may be located on the outer wall of the rear end of the cylindrical assembly 2. The air inlet 201 connects to the front end of the clothing processing chamber 20, and the air return outlet 202 connects to the rear end of the clothing processing chamber 20.

[0071] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the air inlet 201 may also be located on the outer wall of the rear end of the tubular assembly 2, thereby connecting to the rear end of the clothing processing chamber 20. The air return outlet 202 may also be located on the outer wall of the front end of the tubular assembly 2, thereby connecting to the front end of the clothing processing chamber 20.

[0072] Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the mounting base 3. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0073] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment processing device may include a mounting base 3. Two cavities 30 are formed within the mounting base 3. The two cavities 30 can be respectively connected to an air inlet 201 and an air return outlet 202, thereby forming a drying air duct within the mounting base 3. The drying air duct is connected to the garment processing chamber 20, thereby forming a drying air circulation.

[0074] For example, the dry hot air (i.e., drying air) generated in the two chambers 30 can enter the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes. The humid hot air generated in the clothing processing chamber 20 can return to the two chambers 30 through the return air inlet 202, be condensed and dehumidified, and then reheated to form dry hot air, which then re-enters the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes, thus realizing the circulation of drying air.

[0075] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A partial structural diagram. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0076] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment handling device may include a heat pump system. The heat pump system may include a compressor 14, a condenser 12, and an evaporator 13. The compressor 14, condenser 12, and evaporator 13 may be connected sequentially via piping. For example, the outlet of the compressor 14 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 12, the outlet of the condenser 12 is connected to the inlet of the evaporator 13, and the outlet of the evaporator 13 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 14, thus creating a refrigerant circulation channel within the compressor 14, condenser 12, and evaporator 13. After being compressed by the compressor 14, the refrigerant enters the condenser 12, causing the condenser 12 to heat up, thereby heating the air surrounding it. The refrigerant in the condenser 12 flows into the evaporator 13, allowing the evaporator 13 to absorb heat, thereby condensing and cooling the air surrounding it.

[0077] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the evaporator 13 can also be replaced by other condensing devices, such as a water condenser, which can also condense and cool the surrounding air.

[0078] In some other embodiments, the condenser 12 may be replaced by other heating devices, such as an electric heater, which can also heat the surrounding air.

[0079] In some embodiments, the evaporator 13 may be disposed within the mounting base 3. The evaporator 13 may be disposed within the two chambers 30. The evaporator 13 may be disposed on the side of the two chambers 30 near the return air inlet 202. When humid and hot air from the clothing processing chamber 20 enters the two chambers 30 through the return air inlet 202, the humid and hot air can contact the evaporator 13 and exchange heat. The evaporator 13 condenses and cools the humid and hot air, causing the moisture in the humid and hot air to condense on the surface of the evaporator 13, thereby removing the moisture from the humid and hot air. In this way, the humid and hot air entering the two chambers 30 can be condensed by the evaporator 13 to form dry and cold air.

[0080] In some embodiments, the condenser 12 may be disposed within the mounting base 3. The condenser 12 may be disposed within the two chambers 30. The condenser 12 may be disposed on the side of the two chambers 30 closest to the air inlet 201. After the humid, hot air entering the two chambers 30 is condensed by the evaporator 13 to form dry, cold air, the dry, cold air can contact the condenser 12 and exchange heat, using the condenser 12 to heat the dry, cold air to form dry, hot air. Thus, the condenser 12 can be used to form dry, hot air within the two chambers 30, and then this dry, hot air can be introduced into the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes, achieving the clothing drying function.

[0081] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting base 3 may be provided with an air inlet 311 and an air outlet 312 on opposite sides. The air inlet 311 and the air outlet 312 may be connected to opposite sides of the two chambers 30 respectively. The air inlet 311 may be used to connect with the return air inlet 202 of the cylinder assembly 2. The air outlet 312 may be used to connect with the air inlet 201 of the cylinder assembly 2. In this way, the clothes processing chamber 20 can be connected to the two chambers 30 through the return air inlet 202 and the air inlet 311. The two chambers 30 can be connected to the clothes processing chamber 20 through the air outlet 312 and the air inlet 201. The humid and hot air in the clothes processing chamber 20 can enter the two chambers 30 sequentially through the return air inlet 202 and the air inlet 311, be condensed by the evaporator 13 and heated by the condenser 12, and then return to the clothes processing chamber 20 sequentially through the air outlet 312 and the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 20.

[0082] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the evaporator 13 and the condenser 12 can be arranged adjacently within the two chambers 30. The evaporator 13 can be located on the side of the condenser 12 near the air inlet 311 and the air return outlet 202. The condenser 12 can be located on the side of the evaporator 13 near the air outlet 312 and the air inlet 201. In this way, by arranging the evaporator 13 and the condenser 12 adjacently, the internal structure of the two chambers 30 can be made compact, improving the space utilization of the two chambers 30.

[0083] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting base 3 may include a base 31 and a top cover 32. Two cavities 30 may be disposed on the top surface of the base 31. The top surfaces of the two cavities 30 are open. The top cover 32 may be placed on the top surface of the base 31 and cover the openings in the top surfaces of the two cavities 30. In this way, the two cavities 30 can be sealed between the base 31 and the top cover 32. When the top cover 32 is removed from the base 31, the evaporator 13 and the condenser 12 can be installed into the two cavities 30 respectively.

[0084] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, an air outlet duct 313 may be provided inside the mounting base 3. The air outlet duct 313 may be provided on the base 31. The air outlet duct 313 may be located on one side of the two chambers 30. One end of the air outlet duct 313 may communicate with the two chambers 30. The condenser 12 may be located on the side of the two chambers 30 near the air outlet duct 313. The other end of the air outlet duct 313 may form an air outlet 312. In this way, the dry hot air generated by the condenser 12 in the two chambers 30 can flow out through the air outlet duct 313 and flow into the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201.

[0085] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a fan 3131 may be provided inside the mounting base 3. The fan 3131 may be located inside the air outlet duct 313. The fan 3131 may be located at the end of the air outlet duct 313 that communicates with the two chambers 30. The fan 3131 can be used to provide airflow, and the fan 3131 can actively draw air from the two chambers 30, so that the dry hot air formed in the two chambers 30 can actively flow out through the air outlet duct 313, forming dry hot air. The dry hot air can flow into the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes in the clothing processing chamber 20. In addition, the airflow of the fan 3131 can also cause the humid hot air in the clothing processing chamber 20 to flow out through the return air inlet 202 and return to the two chambers 30 through the air inlet 311.

[0086] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the air inlet 311 of the mounting base 3 can be arranged downwards, while the return air inlet 202 of the cylinder assembly 2 can be arranged upwards. The air inlet 311 can be located above the return air inlet 202. This facilitates vertical connection and communication between the air inlet 311 and the return air inlet 202.

[0087] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a return air duct 35 can be used between the air inlet 311 of the mounting base 3 and the return air inlet 202 of the cylinder assembly 2. The return air duct 35 can be vertically arranged between the air inlet 311 and the return air inlet 202. The lower end of the return air duct 35 can be sealed and connected to the return air inlet 202. The upper end of the return air duct 35 can be sealed and connected to the air inlet 311. In this way, the air inlet 311 and the return air inlet 202 can be connected vertically by the return air duct 35, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection between the air inlet 311 and the return air inlet 202.

[0088] Figure 8 yes Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of the medium-sized lint filter device 34. Figure 9 yes Figure 8 A structural diagram from another perspective.

[0089] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment processing apparatus may include a lint filter 34. The lint filter 34 may be disposed within the mounting base 3. The lint filter 34 may be disposed on the side of the evaporator 13 near the air inlet 311. The lint filter 34 can be used to filter and collect lint. During the garment drying process, when the humid and hot air in the garment processing chamber 20 flows into the two chambers 30 through the return air inlet 202 and the air inlet 311, the airflow from the air inlet 311 can flow into the lint filter 34. After being filtered by the lint filter 34, it flows into the two chambers 30 and contacts the evaporator 13. In this way, lint in the air can be filtered by the lint filter 34, trapping lint inside the lint filter 34, which helps reduce the amount of lint entering the two chambers 30 and reduces lint adhesion to the evaporator 13 and condenser 12.

[0090] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter 34 may be located in the area between the air inlet 311 and the two chambers 30. The lint filter 34 may include a lint collection chamber 340. The lint collection chamber 340 may be formed inside the lint filter 34. One end of the lint collection chamber 340 may communicate with the air inlet 311. The two chambers 30 may be located on one side of the lint collection chamber 340. The side of the lint collection chamber 340 near the evaporator 13 may communicate with the two chambers 30. In this way, the humid and hot air in the clothing processing chamber 20 enters the lint collection chamber 340 directly through the air inlet 311, and then enters the two chambers 30 to contact the evaporator 13. When the air flows through the lint collection chamber 340, the lint in the air can be filtered and collected in the lint collection chamber 340.

[0091] In some embodiments, the mounting base 3 may have a mounting cavity 310. The mounting cavity 310 may be formed on the top surface of the base 31. The mounting cavity 310 may be located in the region between the air inlet 311 and the two-component cavity 30. The air inlet 311 may be located at one end of the mounting cavity 310. The two-component cavity 30 may be located on one side of the mounting cavity 310. The mounting cavity 310 may communicate with both the air inlet 311 and the two-component cavity 30. The mounting cavity 310 may be arranged adjacent to the two-component cavity 30. The mounting cavity 310 and the two-component cavity 30 may be arranged adjacent to each other on the top surface of the base 31. A top cover 32 may be provided on the top of the mounting cavity 310 and the two-component cavity 30. A lint filter device 34 may be provided in the mounting cavity 310. In this way, lint in the region between the air inlet 311 and the two-component cavity 30 can be collected by the lint filter device 34.

[0092] In some embodiments, the mounting cavity 310 may be elongated and arranged adjacent to each other on one side of the two chambers 30. The lint collection cavity 340 may also be elongated. The length direction of the lint collection cavity 340 may be aligned with the length direction of the mounting cavity 310. The two chambers 30 may be located on one side of the length direction of the lint collection cavity 340. One end of the lint collection cavity 340 in the length direction may communicate with the air inlet 311.

[0093] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, an installation port 101 may be provided on the outer wall of the housing 1. The lint filter device 34 can be detachably mounted in the mounting base 3 through the installation port 101. The lint filter device 34 can be pulled out or inserted into the housing 1 and the mounting base 3 through the installation port 101. The lint filter device 34 can extend into the mounting cavity 310 through the installation port 101. In this way, the user can install and remove the lint filter device 34 from the outside of the housing 1, inserting the lint filter device 34 into the mounting base 3 of the housing 1 through the installation port 101, or removing the lint filter device 34 from the mounting base 3 of the housing 1 through the installation port 101, so that the user can clean the inside of the lint filter device 34 regularly.

[0094] In some embodiments, the mounting port 101 may be located on the top surface of the housing 1. This allows the user to install and remove the lint filter 34 from the top of the housing 1, facilitating user operation.

[0095] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, an insertion port 323 may be provided on the top wall of the mounting base 3. The insertion port 323 may be located on the top wall of the mounting base 3. The insertion port 323 may be located on the top cover 32. The insertion port 323 may be located above the top of the mounting cavity 310, and the insertion port 323 may communicate with the mounting cavity 310 inside the mounting base 3. The mounting port 101 and the insertion port 323 are arranged vertically opposite each other. The lint filter device 34 may extend downward into the insertion port 323 through the mounting port 101 and into the mounting cavity 310 arranged in the mounting base 3, so that the collection box 342 of the lint filter device 34 is arranged in the mounting cavity 310, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the lint filter device 34 in the area between the air inlet 311 and the two chambers 30.

[0096] Figure 10 yes Figure 9 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0097] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter device 34 may include a filter assembly 341. The filter assembly 341 may be disposed on the side of the lint filter device 34 near the evaporator 13. The filter assembly 341 may be disposed on the cavity wall near the two chambers 30 and the evaporator 13. The filter assembly 341 can be used to filter lint in the air flowing from the air inlet 311 to the evaporator 13. When hot and humid air flows through the lint collection cavity 340 and the filter assembly 341, the filter assembly 341 can filter out most of the lint in the hot and humid air, causing the lint to be blocked on the side wall of the filter assembly 341 facing the lint collection cavity 340, greatly reducing the amount of lint entering the two chambers 30, and thus reducing the amount of lint adhering to the surface of the evaporator 13.

[0098] It should be noted that, after being filtered by the filter assembly 341, most of the hair collected in the hair collection chamber 340 adheres to the side wall of the filter assembly 341 facing the hair collection chamber 340, and a small portion adheres to the other chamber walls of the hair collection chamber 340.

[0099] In some embodiments, an air outlet 3422 may be formed on the side of the lint filter device 34 near the two chambers 30. The air outlet 3422 may be located on the side of the lint collection chamber 340 near the two chambers 30. The air outlet 3422 may be formed on one side wall along the length direction of the lint collection chamber 340. A filter assembly 341 is located at the air outlet 3422. After hot and humid air enters the lint collection chamber 340 through the air inlet 311, it can flow into the two chambers 30 through the air outlet 3422. When the hot and humid air flows through the air outlet 3422, the filter assembly 341 can filter out most of the lint in the hot and humid air and retain the lint in the lint collection chamber 340.

[0100] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter device 34 may include a collection box 342. A lint collection cavity 340 may be formed within the collection box 342. The collection box 342 may be arranged between the air inlet 311 and the two chambers 30. The collection box 342 may have an elongated structure and be arranged adjacent to one side of the two chambers 30. The length direction of the collection box 342 may be consistent with the length direction of the mounting cavity 310.

[0101] In some embodiments, one end of the collection box 342 may be provided with an air inlet 3421. The air inlet 3421 may be located at one end of the collection box 342 along its length. The air inlet 3421 may be located at one end of the lint collection chamber 340 along its length. The air inlet 3421 may be arranged facing the air inlet 311 and communicate directly with the air inlet 311. The air inlet 3421 may be located at the end of the collection box 342 facing the air inlet 311. In this way, air flowing out of the air inlet 311 can easily enter the lint collection chamber 340 through the air inlet 3421.

[0102] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the air outlet 3422 may be located on the side wall of the collection box 342 facing the two chambers 30. The filter assembly 341 may be located on the side wall of the collection box 342 near the two chambers 30. The filter assembly 341 may be located between the lint collection chamber 340 and the air outlet 3422. The filter assembly 341 may be detachably located within the collection box 342, thereby allowing the filter assembly 341 to be detachably located at the air outlet 3422.

[0103] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the filter assembly 341 may also be fixedly installed inside the collection box 342, or integrally formed with the interior of the collection box 342.

[0104] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a groove 3401 may be provided inside the lint filter 34 near the air outlet 3422. The filter assembly 341 is slidably disposed within the groove 3401 and covers the air outlet 3422. Thus, the filter assembly 341 can be slidably installed along the groove 3401, facilitating its installation at the air outlet 3422 to filter lint from the air flowing through it. In this lint filter 34, the groove 3401, located near the air outlet 3422, guides and fixes the filter assembly 341. The filter assembly 341 can be slidably installed within the groove 3401, ensuring precise coverage of the air outlet 3422. With this design, when air flows through the air outlet 3422, the filter can effectively capture particulate matter such as lint, achieving highly efficient filtration of the flowing air.

[0105] like Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the lint filter device 34 may be provided with a loading / unloading port 3402. The loading / unloading port 3402 may be located on the outer wall of the collection box 342. The loading / unloading port 3402 may be located at one end of the slide 3401, and the loading / unloading port 3402 may communicate with the slide 3401. The filter assembly 341 can extend into the slide 3401 through the loading / unloading port 3402 and slide along the slide 3401 in the collection box 342 to cover the air outlet 3422. In this way, the filter assembly 341 can be easily slidably installed in the slide 3401 through the loading / unloading port 3402 and cover the air outlet 3422.

[0106] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter assembly 341 may include multiple layers of filters. The multiple layers of filters may include at least two layers. The multiple layers of filters may be arranged sequentially at intervals along the airflow direction at the location of the filter assembly 341. Thus, the multiple layers of filters can be arranged sequentially at intervals along the airflow direction within the filter assembly 341. When humid and hot air flows through the filter assembly 341, the humid and hot air can sequentially pass through the multiple layers of filters, undergoing multiple filtrations to improve the filtration effect and efficiency for lint.

[0107] In some embodiments, the pore density of the multi-layer filter screen can increase sequentially along the airflow direction within the filter assembly 341. Thus, when the multi-layer filter screen filters humid and hot air multiple times, it can sequentially filter lint of different sizes, which is beneficial for improving the filtration effect and efficiency.

[0108] Figure 11 yes Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the structure of the middle filter assembly 341. Figure 12 yes Figure 11 A structural diagram in another state.

[0109] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the multi-layer filter may include at least a first filter 3411 and a second filter 3412. The first filter 3411 and the second filter 3412 may be arranged sequentially at intervals along the airflow direction within the filter assembly 341. The first filter 3411 may be located on the side of the filter assembly 341 facing the lint collection chamber 340. The second filter 3412 may be spaced apart on the side of the first filter 3411 near the chamber 30. The pore density of the first filter 3411 may be greater than that of the second filter 3412. In this way, larger lint can be filtered and collected inside the lint collection chamber 340. Smaller lint can be filtered and collected on the side of the second filter 3412 facing the first filter 3411, accumulating in the area between the second filter 3412 and the first filter 3411.

[0110] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter assembly 341 may include a first flap 3413. The first filter 3411 may be disposed on the first flap 3413.

[0111] In some embodiments, the filter assembly 341 may include a second flap 3414. One end of the second flap 3414 may be flipped and connected to one end of the first flap 3413. A second filter 3412 may be disposed on the second flap 3414. When the second flap 3414 is flipped closed relative to the first flap 3413, the second flap 3414 and the first flap 3413 may fit together, and the first filter 3411 and the second filter 3412 may be arranged relatively parallel and spaced apart. At this time, when the filter assembly 341 is installed at the air outlet 3422, the first flap 3413 may be disposed on the side of the second flap 3414 facing the lint collection chamber 340, and the second flap 3414 may be disposed on the side of the first flap 3413 facing the two chambers 30. The flip-connection structure of the first flap 3413 and the second flap 3414 facilitates the parallel and spaced arrangement of the first filter screen 3411 and the second filter screen 3412, thereby facilitating multiple filtrations of the humid and hot air flowing through the filter assembly 341.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first filter screen 3411 may be disposed on the surface of the first flap 3413 facing the lint collection chamber 340. In this way, when the first filter screen 3411 filters lint, the first filter screen 3411 can block the lint on the surface of the first flap 3413 facing the lint collection chamber 340, which facilitates the scraping off of the lint on the first filter screen 3411 when cleaning the first filter screen 3411.

[0113] In some embodiments, the second filter 3412 may be disposed on the surface of the second flap 3414 facing the first flap 3413. The second filter 3412 may also be disposed on the surface of the second flap 3414 away from the two cavities 30. Thus, when the second filter 3412 filters lint, it can block lint on the surface of the second flap 3414 facing the first flap 3413. When the second flap 3414 is flipped open relative to the first flap 3413, the second filter 3412 can be easily cleaned from the surface of the second flap 3414.

[0114] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the first flap 3413 may be provided with a first filter port 34131. A first filter screen 3411 may cover the first filter port 34131. When air flows through the filter assembly 341, the air can pass through the first filter port 34131, and then the first filter screen 3411 filters the lint in the air.

[0115] In some embodiments, multiple first filter ports 34131 may be provided. A first filter screen 3411 may simultaneously cover multiple first filter ports 34131. The number and size of the first filter ports 34131 can be adjusted as needed and are not limited herein.

[0116] In some embodiments, the second flap 3414 may be provided with a second filter port 34141. A second filter screen 3412 may cover the second filter port 34141. When air flows through the filter assembly 341, the air can pass through the second filter port 34141 and then be filtered by the second filter screen 3412 to remove lint from the air.

[0117] In some embodiments, multiple second filter ports 34141 may be provided. A second filter screen 3412 may simultaneously cover multiple second filter ports 34141. The number and size of the second filter ports 34141 can be adjusted as needed and are not limited herein.

[0118] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the first flap 3413 that is flipped and connected to the second flap 3414 can be a first flipping end 34132. The end of the first flap 3413 away from the first flipping end 34132 can be provided with a first latch 34133. The end of the second flap 3414 that is flipped and connected to the first flap 3413 can be a second flipping end 34142. The end of the second flap 3414 away from the second flipping end 34142 can be provided with a second latch 34143.

[0119] When the second flap 3414 is flipped open relative to the first flap 3413, the first flip end 34132 of the first flap 3413 is connected to the second flip end 34142 of the second flap. The first buckle 34133 can be located at the end of the first flap 3413 away from the second flap 3414, and the second buckle 34143 can be located at the end of the second flap 3414 away from the first flap 3413.

[0120] When the second flap 3414 flips and closes relative to the first flap 3413, the first buckle 34133 and the second buckle 34143 can engage with each other, which can fix the first flap 3413 and the second flap 3414 relatively, thereby allowing the second flap 3414 and the first flap 3413 to fit together, and the first filter screen 3411 and the second filter screen 3412 can be arranged relatively parallel and spaced apart, and the first filter screen 3411 and the second filter screen 3412 can be relatively fixed.

[0121] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the first buckle 34133 may also be located at other positions of the first flap 3413, and the second buckle 34143 may also be located at other positions of the second flap 3414, with the first buckle 34133 and the second buckle 34143 arranged opposite to each other.

[0122] In some other embodiments, the filter assembly 341 may include multiple sets of first flaps 3413 and second flaps 3414. The multiple sets of first flaps 3413 and second flaps 3414 are arranged in parallel at the air outlet 3422, allowing multiple sets of first filters 3411 and second filters 3412 to be present at the air outlet 3422. The cooperation of the multiple sets of first filters 3411 and second filters 3412 can further improve the filtration effect on pet hair.

[0123] Figure 13 yes Figure 8 A structural diagram from another perspective. Figure 14 yes Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning component 345 and the handle 346.

[0124] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter device 34 may include a cleaning component 345. The cleaning component 345 is slidably disposed within the lint collection chamber 340. The cleaning component 345 may contact the surface of the filter assembly 341. The cleaning component 345 is configured to slide along the lint collection chamber 340, thereby scraping away lint from the surface of the filter assembly 341. For example, the cleaning component 345 may slide along the length of the lint collection chamber 340. During the sliding process, the cleaning component 345 may scrape away lint from the surface of the filter assembly 341 facing the lint collection chamber 340, thereby improving the cleaning effect on lint inside the lint filter device 34 and enhancing and maintaining the lint filtration effect of the lint filter device 34 for a longer period.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first filter screen 3411 may be disposed on the side of the filter screen assembly 341 facing the lint collection chamber 340. In this way, during the sliding process of the cleaning assembly 345, the cleaning assembly 345 can contact the surface of the first filter screen 3411, thereby scraping off the lint on the first filter screen 3411, which facilitates manual cleaning of the first filter screen 3411.

[0126] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 345 may contact the cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340. As the cleaning component 345 slides along the lint collection chamber 340, it can scrape off the lint on the cavity wall, thereby facilitating manual cleaning of the cavity wall and improving the cleaning effect on the lint inside the lint filter device 34, thus enhancing and maintaining the lint filtration effect of the lint filter device 34 for a longer period.

[0127] like Figure 9 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter device 34 may include a handle 346. The handle 346 may be exposed outside the collection box 342. The handle 346 may be elongated, and one end of the handle 346 may be flipped to connect with the cleaning assembly 345. The handle 346 can be flipped to the end of the cleaning assembly 345 away from the air inlet 3421. The handle 346 can push the cleaning assembly 345 to slide along the lint collection chamber 340, for example, along the length of the lint collection chamber 340, thereby enabling the cleaning assembly 345 to scrape lint from the surface of the filter assembly 341 and from the walls of the lint collection chamber 340.

[0128] Figure 15 yes Figure 8 A structural diagram in another state. Figure 16 yes Figure 15 A schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning component 345 and the handle 346. Figure 17 yes Figure 16 A structural diagram from another perspective.

[0129] like Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, a receiving groove 3423 may be provided on the bottom surface of the collection box 342. The receiving groove 3423 may be provided on the bottom surface of the lint filter device 34. When the cleaning component 345 moves to the end of the lint collection chamber 340 away from the air inlet 3421, the handle 346 can be flipped to the bottom of the collection box 342 and accommodated in the receiving groove 3423. In this way, when it is not necessary to clean the lint on the surface of the filter assembly 341 and the cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340, the cleaning component 345 can be moved to one end of the length direction of the lint collection chamber 340, avoiding the cleaning component 345 from affecting the airflow in the lint collection chamber 340. Furthermore, when it is not necessary to clean the surface of the filter assembly 341 and the lint on the wall of the lint collection chamber 340, the handle 346 can be flipped over and hidden in the receiving groove 3423 at the bottom of the lint filter device 34 to reduce the overall volume of the lint filter device 34, thereby not affecting the installation and disassembly of the lint filter device 34, and not affecting the overall appearance of the lint filter device 34.

[0130] In some embodiments, a locking protrusion 3461 may be provided on the outer wall of the end of the handle 346 that is flipped and connected to the cleaning component 345. When the handle 346 is flipped and received in the receiving groove 3423, the locking protrusion 3461 may contact the inner wall of the receiving groove 3423 to lock and limit the handle 346 in the receiving groove 3423, thereby fixing the handle 346 in the receiving groove 3423 and preventing the handle 346 from easily detaching from the receiving groove 3423.

[0131] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the receiving groove 3423 may be provided with a slot (not shown in the figure) that mates with the latching protrusion 3461. When the handle 346 is flipped and received in the receiving groove 3423, the latching protrusion 3461 can engage in the slot, thereby locking and limiting the handle 346 within the receiving groove 3423.

[0132] like Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, in some embodiments, an elastic arm 3462 may be provided on the outer wall of the end of the handle 346 that is flipped and connected to the cleaning assembly 345. A hook 3455 may be provided on the end wall of the cleaning assembly 345 facing the handle 346. When the handle 346 is flipped to the end of the cleaning assembly 345 away from the air inlet 3421, the elastic arm 3462 can engage with the hook 3455, thereby fixing the handle 346 to one end of the cleaning assembly 345 and arranging the handle 346 along the length direction of the lint collection cavity 340. In this way, by engaging the elastic arm 3462 with the hook 3455, the handle 346 can be stably fixed to one end of the cleaning assembly 345, allowing the handle 346 to stably push the cleaning assembly 345 to slide within the lint collection cavity 340. Furthermore, when the handle 346 pushes the cleaning component 345 to slide within the lint collection chamber 340, the handle 346 can gradually extend into the lint collection chamber 340 along its length, allowing the cleaning component 345 to slide from one end of the lint collection chamber 340 to the other end, thereby cleaning the lint on the entire surface of the filter assembly 341 and the lint on the entire wall of the lint collection chamber 340.

[0133] In some embodiments, the resilient arm 3462 may extend from the end of the handle 346 near the cleaning assembly 345 toward the end of the handle 346 away from the cleaning assembly 345. A retaining rib 34621 may protrude from the outer wall of the resilient arm 3462. When the handle 346 is flipped to one end of the cleaning assembly 345, the hook 3455 can engage with the retaining rib 34621 on the outer wall of the resilient arm 3462, thereby fixing the handle 346 to one end of the cleaning assembly 345.

[0134] like Figure 9 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, a telescopic opening 3424 may be provided on the end wall of the collection box 342 away from the air inlet 3421. The telescopic opening 3424 may be provided on the end wall of the lint filter device 34 away from the air inlet 3421. One end of the handle 346 can extend into the lint collection cavity 340 through the telescopic opening 3424 and be flipped to connect with the cleaning component 345. Thus, when the handle 346 is flipped to one end of the cleaning component 345, the handle 346 can gradually extend into the lint collection cavity 340 through the telescopic opening 3424, thereby pushing the cleaning component 345 to slide along the end of the lint collection cavity 340 toward the air inlet 3421.

[0135] Figure 18 yes Figure 16 A schematic diagram of its decomposition. Figure 19 yes Figure 18 A structural diagram from another perspective.

[0136] like Figure 16 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, in some embodiments, a connecting shaft 3456 may protrude from the end wall of the cleaning assembly 345 facing the telescopic opening 3424. One end of the handle 346 may be rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 3456 so that one end of the handle 346 can be flipped relative to the cleaning assembly 345 about the connecting shaft 3456.

[0137] In some embodiments, the end of the handle 346 near the cleaning assembly 345 may be provided with an upwardly bent connecting arm 3463. The handle 346 can be rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 3456 via the connecting arm 3463. Thus, when the handle 346 is flipped and hidden in the receiving groove 3423 at the bottom of the lint filter device 34, the connecting arm 3463 can be located at one end of the lint filter device 34, and one end of the handle 346 can be rotatably connected to the cleaning assembly 345 via the connecting arm 3463.

[0138] In some embodiments, the telescopic opening 3424 may communicate with one end of the receiving groove 3423. Thus, when the handle 346 is flipped over and hidden in the receiving groove 3423 at the bottom of the lint filter device 34, the connecting arm 3463 may extend from the telescopic opening 3424 and be arranged at the end of the receiving groove 3423.

[0139] Figure 20 yes Figure 13 A sectional view.

[0140] like Figure 17 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, a handle 34531 may protrude from the end wall of the cleaning component 345 facing the air inlet 3421. The handle 34531 can be held to insert the cleaning component 345 into the lint collection chamber 340 through the air inlet 3421, or to remove the cleaning component 345 from the lint collection chamber 340 through the air inlet 3421. For example, a user can use the handle 34531 to install the cleaning component 345 into the lint collection chamber 340 through the air inlet 3421. The user can also use the handle 34531 to remove the cleaning component 345 from the lint collection chamber 340 through the air inlet 3421, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the cleaning component 345 and improving the efficiency of installation and maintenance of the cleaning component 345.

[0141] like Figure 16 , Figure 18 and Figure 20As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 345 may include a cleaning blade 3451. At least a portion of the peripheral edge of the cleaning blade 3451 may contact the surface of the filter assembly 341. As the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the lint collection chamber 340, at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the cleaning blade 3451 may maintain sliding contact with the surface of the filter assembly 341, thereby scraping away lint from the surface of the filter assembly 341.

[0142] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the cleaning pad 3451 may contact the cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the lint collection cavity 340, at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the cleaning pad 3451 may maintain sliding contact with the cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340, thereby scraping away lint from the cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340.

[0143] like Figure 16 , Figure 18 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 345 may include a mounting housing 3452. The mounting housing 3452 is movably disposed within the lint collection cavity 340. The mounting housing 3452 can slide along the lint collection cavity 340, i.e., the mounting housing 3452 can slide along the lint collection cavity 340. A cleaning plate 3451 can be fixedly disposed on the mounting housing 3452. At least a portion of the peripheral edge of the cleaning plate 3451 can extend beyond the peripheral edge of the mounting housing 3452. Thus, when the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the length direction of the lint collection cavity 340, the portion of the peripheral edge of the cleaning plate 3451 extending beyond the mounting housing 3452 can maintain sliding contact with the surface of the filter assembly 341, thereby scraping away lint from the surface of the filter assembly 341. When the cleaning component 345 slides along the lint collection cavity 340, the peripheral edge of the cleaning plate 3451 extending beyond the mounting housing 3452 can maintain sliding contact with the cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340, thereby scraping away the lint from the cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340.

[0144] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 345 may include a clamping plate 3453. The clamping plate 3453 may be fixedly disposed on the mounting housing 3452. The clamping plate 3453 can clamp and fix the cleaning sheet 3451 to the mounting housing 3452, so that the cleaning sheet 3451 is clamped and fixed between the mounting housing 3452 and the clamping plate 3453. The clamping cooperation between the mounting housing 3452 and the clamping plate 3453 facilitates the installation and replacement of the cleaning sheet 3451, making it convenient for user use.

[0145] In some embodiments, the handle portion 34531 may protrude from the side wall of the clamping plate 3453 away from the mounting housing 3452. When the clamping plate 3453 is fixed to the mounting housing 3452, the handle portion 34531 may be provided on one end wall of the cleaning assembly 345.

[0146] like Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 345 may include a mounting bracket 3454. The mounting bracket 3454 may be disposed inside the mounting housing 3452. The mounting bracket 3454 may be clamped between the mounting housing 3452 and the clamping plate 3453. A hook 3455 may be disposed on the side wall of the mounting bracket 3454 away from the clamping plate 3453. A connecting shaft 3456 may be disposed on the side wall of the mounting bracket 3454 away from the clamping plate 3453. When the mounting bracket 3454 is clamped between the mounting housing 3452 and the clamping plate 3453, the hook 3455 may be disposed on the end wall of the cleaning assembly 345 away from the clamping plate 3453, and the connecting shaft 3456 may be disposed on the end wall of the cleaning assembly 345 away from the clamping plate 3453.

[0147] like Figure 16 and Figure 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting housing 3452 has a first notch 34521 arranged opposite to the hook 3455. The hook 3455 can pass through the first notch 34521 and protrude from the mounting housing 3452. When the fixing bracket 3454 is clamped between the mounting housing 3452 and the clamping plate 3453, the hook 3455 can pass through the first notch 34521 and be arranged on the end wall of the cleaning assembly 345 away from the clamping plate 3453.

[0148] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the hook 3455 may also be formed directly on the outer wall of the mounting housing 3452, so that the hook 3455 can be directly arranged on the end wall of the cleaning assembly 345 away from the clamping plate 3453.

[0149] like Figure 16 and Figure 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting housing 3452 has a second notch 34522 arranged opposite to the connecting shaft 3456. The connecting shaft 3456 can pass through the second notch 34522 and be exposed outside the mounting housing 3452. When the fixing bracket 3454 is clamped between the mounting housing 3452 and the clamping plate 3453, the connecting shaft 3456 can pass through the second notch 34522 and be arranged on the end wall of the cleaning assembly 345 away from the clamping plate 3453.

[0150] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the connecting shaft 3456 may also be formed directly on the outer wall of the mounting housing 3452, so that the connecting shaft 3456 can be directly arranged on the end wall of the cleaning assembly 345 away from the clamping plate 3453.

[0151] like Figure 18 and Figure 20As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning plate 3451 may have a first scraping portion 34511 on the side facing the filter assembly 341. The first scraping portion 34511 extends beyond the edge of the mounting housing 3452 near the filter assembly 341. The first scraping portion 34511 can contact the surface of the filter assembly 341. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the length of the lint collection cavity 340, the first scraping portion 34511 of the cleaning plate 3451 can maintain sliding contact with the surface of the filter assembly 341, thereby scraping away lint from the surface of the filter assembly 341.

[0152] like Figure 18 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, a second scraping portion 34512 may be provided on the side of the cleaning plate 3451 facing away from the filter assembly 341. The second scraping portion 34512 extends beyond the edge of the mounting housing 3452 away from the filter assembly 341. The second scraping portion 34512 can contact the cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340 away from the filter assembly 341. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the lint collection cavity 340, the second scraping portion 34512 of the cleaning plate 3451 can maintain sliding contact with the cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340 away from the filter assembly 341, thereby scraping away lint from the cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340 away from the filter assembly 341.

[0153] like Figure 18 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the cleaning plate 3451 may be provided with a third scraping portion 34513. The third scraping portion 34513 extends beyond the top edge of the mounting housing 3452. The third scraping portion 34513 can contact the top wall of the lint collection cavity 340. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the lint collection cavity 340, the third scraping portion 34513 of the cleaning plate 3451 can maintain sliding contact with the top wall of the lint collection cavity 340, thereby scraping away lint from the top wall of the lint collection cavity 340.

[0154] like Figure 18 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the cleaning plate 3451 may be provided with a fourth scraping portion 34514. The fourth scraping portion 34514 extends beyond the bottom edge of the mounting housing 3452. The fourth scraping portion 34514 can contact the bottom wall of the lint collection cavity 340. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the lint collection cavity 340, the fourth scraping portion 34514 of the cleaning plate 3451 can maintain sliding contact with the bottom wall of the lint collection cavity 340, thereby scraping away lint from the bottom wall of the lint collection cavity 340.

[0155] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the cleaning sheet 3451 may only contact the surface of the filter assembly 341, in which case the cleaning sheet 3451 may only be used to scrape off the lint on the surface of the filter assembly 341.

[0156] In some other embodiments, the cleaning sheet 3451 may also contact only one or more walls of the lint collection chamber 340, in which case the cleaning sheet 3451 may be used only to scrape lint off the walls of the lint collection chamber 340.

[0157] like Figure 18 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 345 may include a roller 3457. The roller 3457 may be rotatably protruding from the peripheral edge of the mounting housing 3452. The roller 3457 may extend beyond the corresponding peripheral edge of the mounting housing 3452. The roller 3457 may be used to abut against the cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides within the lint collection chamber 340, the roller 3457 can roll along the cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340, while the cleaning disc 3451 can scrape lint off the surface of the filter assembly 341 or the cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340. This allows the cleaning component 345 to slide more smoothly within the lint collection chamber 340, and helps maintain the distance between the cleaning plate 3451 and the surface of the filter assembly 341 or the cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340. This, in turn, maintains the sliding contact between the cleaning plate 3451 and the surface of the filter assembly 341 or the cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340, allowing the cleaning plate 3451 to stably scrape away lint from the surface of the filter assembly 341 or the cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340.

[0158] In some embodiments, the roller 3457 may be rotatably disposed at the peripheral edge of the mounting bracket 3454. When the mounting bracket 3454 is clamped and fixed inside the mounting housing 3452, the roller 3457 may extend beyond the corresponding peripheral edge of the mounting housing 3452, that is, the roller 3457 may protrude from the peripheral edge of the mounting housing 3452, thereby facilitating the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the roller 3457.

[0159] like Figure 18 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the roller 3457 may include a first roller 3457a disposed at the bottom of the mounting bracket 3454. The first roller 3457a may abut against the bottom cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides within the lint collection chamber 340, the first roller 3457a can roll along the bottom cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340, making the sliding of the cleaning assembly 345 within the lint collection chamber 340 smoother.

[0160] In some embodiments, a support platform 3403 may be provided on the bottom cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340. The support platform 3403 may extend along the lint collection cavity 340. A first roller 3457a may abut against the top surface of the support platform 3403. The cleaning assembly 345 may slide along the lint collection cavity 340, causing the first roller 3457a to roll along the top surface of the support platform 3403. In this way, the support platform 3403 and the first roller 3457a cooperate to slidably support the cleaning assembly 345 within the lint collection cavity 340, maintaining the distance between the cleaning assembly 345 and the bottom surface of the lint collection cavity 340, allowing the bottom of the cleaning pad 3451 to maintain sliding contact with the bottom surface of the lint collection cavity 340, thereby scraping away lint from the bottom cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340.

[0161] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the support platform 3403 can be arranged at intervals with the left and right side walls of the lint collection cavity 340. The bottom of the cleaning plate 3451 may be provided with two fourth scraping portions 34514. The two fourth scraping portions 34514 can be respectively arranged in the interval area between the support platform 3403 and the side walls of the lint collection cavity 340, thereby contacting the bottom surface of the lint collection cavity 340. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the lint collection cavity 340, the two fourth scraping portions 34514 can respectively maintain sliding contact with the bottom side walls of the lint collection cavity 340 in the two interval areas, thereby scraping away lint from the bottom side walls of the lint collection cavity 340.

[0162] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the mounting bracket 3454 may be provided with two first rollers 3457a. The two first rollers 3457a may be arranged at a left-right interval. The two first rollers 3457a may abut against the top surface of the support platform 3403 respectively. When the cleaning component 345 slides along the lint collection cavity 340, the two first rollers 3457a can roll along the top surface of the support platform 3403 respectively, making the sliding of the cleaning component 345 in the lint collection cavity 340 more stable. In addition, the rolling of the two first rollers 3457a along the top surface of the support platform 3403 helps to maintain the distance between the fourth scraping part 34514 and the bottom surface of the lint collection cavity 340, thereby maintaining the sliding contact between the fourth scraping part 34514 of the cleaning plate 3451 and the bottom wall of the lint collection cavity 340, so that the fourth scraping part 34514 can stably scrape off the lint on the bottom wall of the lint collection cavity 340.

[0163] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, more than three first rollers 3457a may be provided. The number of first rollers 3457a can be adjusted as needed and is not limited here.

[0164] In some embodiments, the bottom of the cleaning pad 3451 may be provided with a fifth scraping portion 34515. The fifth scraping portion 34515 may be located in the area between the two fourth scraping portions 34514. The fifth scraping portion 34515 may be arranged in the area between the two first rollers 3457a. The two first rollers 3457a may be supported on the left and right sides of the top surface of the support platform 3403, respectively. The fifth scraping portion 34515 may contact the top surface of the support platform 3403. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the lint collection cavity 340, the fifth scraping portion 34515 may slide in contact with the top surface of the support platform 3403, thereby scraping off the lint on the top surface of the support platform 3403. Furthermore, the rolling of the two first rollers 3457a along the top surface of the support platform 3403 helps to maintain the distance between the fifth scraping part 34515 and the top surface of the support platform 3403, thereby maintaining the sliding contact between the fifth scraping part 34515 of the cleaning plate 3451 and the top surface of the support platform 3403, so that the fifth scraping part 34515 can stably scrape off the hair on the top surface of the support platform 3403.

[0165] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the roller 3457 may include a second roller 3457b disposed on top of the mounting bracket 3454. The second roller 3457b may abut against the top cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides within the lint collection chamber 340, the second roller 3457b can roll along the top cavity wall of the lint collection chamber 340, making the sliding of the cleaning assembly 345 within the lint collection chamber 340 smoother.

[0166] In some embodiments, the top of the mounting bracket 3454 may be provided with two second rollers 3457b. The two second rollers 3457b may be arranged at a left-right interval. The two second rollers 3457b may abut against the top cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340 respectively. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the lint collection cavity 340, the two second rollers 3457b can roll along the top cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340 respectively, making the sliding of the cleaning assembly 345 in the lint collection cavity 340 smoother, and helping to maintain the distance between the cleaning assembly 345 and the top surface of the lint collection cavity 340, thereby maintaining the sliding contact between the third scraping part 34513 of the cleaning plate 3451 and the top wall of the lint collection cavity 340, so that the third scraping part 34513 can stably scrape off the lint on the top wall of the lint collection cavity 340.

[0167] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, more than three second rollers 3457b may be provided. The number of second rollers 3457b can be adjusted as needed and is not limited here.

[0168] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the roller 3457 may include a third roller 3457c disposed on the side of the mounting bracket 3454 facing the filter assembly 341. The third roller 3457c may abut against the side wall of the lint collection chamber 340 near the filter assembly 341. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides within the lint collection chamber 340, the third roller 3457c can roll along the side wall of the lint collection chamber 340, making the sliding of the cleaning assembly 345 within the lint collection chamber 340 smoother.

[0169] In some embodiments, the side of the mounting bracket 3454 facing the filter assembly 341 may be provided with two third rollers 3457c. The two third rollers 3457c may be arranged vertically at intervals. The two third rollers 3457c may respectively abut against the side wall of the lint collection cavity 340 near the filter assembly 341. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the lint collection cavity 340, the two third rollers 3457c can roll along the side wall of the lint collection cavity 340 respectively, making the sliding of the cleaning assembly 345 in the lint collection cavity 340 smoother, and helping to maintain the distance between the cleaning assembly 345 and the surface of the filter assembly 341, thereby maintaining the sliding contact between the first scraping part 34511 of the cleaning plate 3451 and the surface of the filter assembly 341, so that the first scraping part 34511 can stably scrape off the lint on the surface of the filter assembly 341.

[0170] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, more than three third rollers 3457c may be provided. The number of third rollers 3457c can be adjusted as needed and is not limited here.

[0171] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, roller 3457 may include a fourth roller 3457d disposed on the side of the mounting bracket 3454 facing away from the filter assembly 341. The fourth roller 3457d may abut against the side wall of the lint collection cavity 340 away from the filter assembly 341. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides in the lint collection cavity 340, the fourth roller 3457d can roll along the side wall of the lint collection cavity 340, so that the third roller 3457c and the fourth roller 3457d can roll along the laterally opposite side walls of the lint collection cavity 340 respectively, thereby making the sliding of the cleaning assembly 345 in the lint collection cavity 340 smoother.

[0172] In some embodiments, two fourth rollers 3457d may be provided on the side of the fixing frame 3454 facing away from the filter assembly 341. The two fourth rollers 3457d may be arranged vertically at intervals. The two fourth rollers 3457d may abut against the side wall of the lint collection cavity 340 away from the filter assembly 341. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides along the lint collection cavity 340, the two fourth rollers 3457d can roll along the side wall of the lint collection cavity 340, making the sliding of the cleaning assembly 345 in the lint collection cavity 340 smoother and helping to maintain the distance between the cleaning assembly 345 and the side wall of the lint collection cavity 340. This, in turn, maintains the sliding contact between the second scraping part 34512 of the cleaning plate 3451 and the cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340 away from the filter assembly 341, so that the second scraping part 34512 can stably scrape off the lint on the cavity wall of the lint collection cavity 340 away from the filter assembly 341.

[0173] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, more than three fourth rollers 3457d may be provided. The number of fourth rollers 3457d can be adjusted as needed and is not limited here.

[0174] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter device 34 may include a sealing ring 343. The sealing ring 343 may be arranged around the periphery of the top of the collection box 342. When the lint filter device 34 is inserted downward into the mounting cavity 310 through the mounting port 101 and the insertion port 323, the sealing ring 343 can seal the insertion port 323, thereby sealing the collection box 342 within the mounting cavity 310 and encapsulating the lint filter device 34 inside the mounting base 3.

[0175] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter device 34 may include a top cover 344. The top cover 344 may be disposed on top of the collection box 342. The sealing ring 343 may be disposed below the bottom of the top cover 344. When the lint filter device 34 is inserted downward into the mounting cavity 310 through the mounting port 101 and the insertion port 323, the collection box 342 may be located inside the mounting base 3, the top cover 344 may protrude from the top surface of the top cover 32, and the top cover 344 may cover the mounting port 101, thereby encapsulating the lint filter device 34 inside the housing 1.

[0176] In some embodiments, when the lint filter device 34 is inserted downward into the mounting cavity 310 through the mounting port 101 and the insertion port 323, the top surface of the top cover 344 can be flush with the top surface of the housing 1, thereby keeping the appearance of the housing 1 flat.

[0177] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the top cover 344 may be provided with a lifting opening 3441. The user can reach into the lifting opening 3441 to lift the lint filter device 34 as a whole, and then remove the lint filter device 34 from the mounting base 3 through the mounting port 101.

[0178] In some embodiments, the top cover 344 may be provided with a flip cover 3442. The flip cover 3442 may be rotatably disposed at the lifting opening 3441. The flip cover 3442 may seal the lifting opening 3441. When the user needs to disassemble the lint filter device 34, the flip cover 3442 may be rotated and inserted into the lifting opening 3441 to lift the lint filter device 34 as a whole.

[0179] In some embodiments, the top surface of the flip cover 3442 may be flush with the top surface of the cover 344, thereby keeping the appearance of the housing 1 flat.

[0180] Figure 21 yes Figure 12 A sectional view. Figure 22 yes Figure 20 A magnified view of the local structure.

[0181] like Figure 20 , Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, a downwardly arranged first positioning rib 3404 may be provided on the top wall of the lint collection cavity 340 near the air outlet 3422. The top of the chute 3401 may be formed between the first positioning rib 3404 and the side wall where the air outlet 3422 is located. Thus, the chute 3401 can be located in the gap area between the first positioning rib 3404 and the side wall where the air outlet 3422 is located, providing a reliable support base for subsequent installation through precise dimensional control. The top of the filter assembly 341 can be slidably installed at a predetermined position between the first positioning rib 3404 and the side wall where the air outlet 3422 is located.

[0182] In some embodiments, a second positioning rib 3405 arranged upwards may be provided on the bottom wall of the lint collection cavity 340 near the air outlet 3422. The bottom of the chute 3401 may be formed between the second positioning rib 3405 and the side wall where the air outlet 3422 is located. Thus, the chute 3401 is formed in the gap area between the second positioning rib 3405 and the side wall where the air outlet 3422 is located, providing a reliable support base for subsequent installation through precise dimensional control. The bottom of the filter assembly 341 can be slidably installed at a predetermined position between the second positioning rib 3405 and the side wall where the air outlet 3422 is located.

[0183] In some embodiments, the top of the chute 3401 may be formed in the gap area between the first positioning rib 3404 and the side wall where the air outlet 3422 is located. The bottom of the chute 3401 may be formed in the gap area between the second positioning rib 3405 and the side wall where the air outlet 3422 is located. The filter assembly 341 can be slidably installed between the first positioning rib 3404, the second positioning rib 3405 and the side wall where the air outlet 3422 is located. This installation method ensures both the stability of the filter assembly 341 and the smooth operation of the entire device.

[0184] like Figure 20 , Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting groove 3406 may be provided on one side wall of the top of the slide groove 3401. The limiting groove 3406 may extend along the direction of the slide groove 3401. A limiting rib 34136 may be protruding from one side of the top of the filter assembly 341. The limiting rib 34136 may extend along the length direction of the filter assembly 341. When the filter assembly 341 is slidably installed in the slide groove 3401, the limiting rib 34136 may be slidably installed in the limiting groove 3406, thereby accurately limiting the filter assembly 341 inside the slide groove 3401, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and stability of the filter assembly 341.

[0185] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the first flap 3413 may be provided with a first top sidewall 34134. The bottom of the first flap 3413 may be provided with a first bottom sidewall 34135. When the second flap 3414 is flipped closed relative to the first flap 3413, the second flap 3414 can be accommodated in the area between the first top sidewall 34134 and the first bottom sidewall 34135. At the same time, the first top sidewall 34134 may extend beyond the second flap 3414, and the extended portion may form a limiting rib 34136, so that when the filter assembly 341 is installed in the slide groove 3401, the limiting rib 34136 can slide into the limiting groove 3406. Thus, the design length of the first top sidewall 34134 may extend beyond the top edge of the second flap 3414, and the extended portion constitutes the limiting rib 34136. When the filter assembly 341 and the slide 3401 are installed, the limiting rib 34136 can be guided to slide smoothly into the limiting groove 3406, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the filter assembly 341.

[0186] Figure 23 yes Figure 10 A partial structural diagram. Figure 24 yes Figure 23 A magnified view of the local structure.

[0187] like Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the limiting groove 3406 can extend to the loading / unloading port 3402. This design facilitates the installation of the filter assembly 341. Specifically, when the filter assembly 341 is installed in the slide groove 3401 through the loading / unloading port 3402, the limiting rib 34136 can smoothly pass through the end of the limiting groove 3406 at the loading / unloading port 3402 and enter the limiting groove 3406, thereby achieving slidable guided installation of the filter assembly 341. With this optimized design, the installation process of the filter assembly 341 is more efficient and smooth, reducing the complexity of manual operation and improving the overall installation efficiency.

[0188] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the second flap 3414 may be provided with a second top sidewall 34144. The second top sidewall 34144 may extend toward the first flap 3413. The bottom of the second flap 3414 may be provided with a second bottom sidewall 34145. The second bottom sidewall 34145 may extend toward the first flap 3413. When the second flap 3414 is flipped closed relative to the first flap 3413, the second top sidewall 34144 and the second bottom sidewall 34145 may be accommodated in the area between the first top sidewall 34134 and the first bottom sidewall 34135, so that the second flap 3414 and the first flap 3413 are kept apart, thereby keeping the first filter screen 3411 and the second filter screen 3412 arranged at intervals.

[0189] like Figure 10 and Figure 24 As shown, in some embodiments, a snap-fit ​​arm 3407 extending along the direction of the slide groove 3401 may be provided on the top side wall of the slide groove 3401. One end of the snap-fit ​​arm 3407 may be connected to the top side wall of the slide groove 3401, and the other end of the snap-fit ​​arm 3407 may be a free end, extending toward the other end of the slide groove 3401. A snap-fit ​​groove 34137 may be provided on the top side wall of the filter assembly 341. The snap-fit ​​groove 34137 may be provided on the top surface of the first top side wall 34134. When the filter assembly 341 is assembled, the filter assembly 341 may be slidably installed in the slide groove 3401 in a predetermined direction, so that the snap-fit ​​arm 3407 can snap into the snap-fit ​​groove 34137. By engaging the snap-fit ​​arm 3407 with the snap-fit ​​groove 34137, the filter assembly 341 can be precisely positioned in the slide groove 3401, confining the filter assembly 341 within the slide groove 3401 and preventing it from easily detaching from the slide groove 3401. This ensures that the filter assembly 341 maintains a stable position within the slide groove 3401, thereby ensuring the reliability of the system during operation.

[0190] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​arm 3407 may also be provided on other sidewalls of the slide groove 3401. Correspondingly, the snap-fit ​​groove 34137 may also be provided on other outer sidewalls of the filter assembly 341.

[0191] like Figure 10 and Figure 24 As shown, in some embodiments, a positioning port 3408 may be provided on the bottom side wall of the slide groove 3401. A positioning part 34138 may protrude from the bottom side wall of the filter assembly 341. When the filter assembly 341 is assembled, the filter assembly 341 can be slidably installed in the slide groove 3401 in a predetermined direction, so that the positioning part 34138 can be engaged in the positioning port 3408. By cooperating with the positioning part 34138 and the positioning port 3408, the filter assembly 341 can be accurately positioned in the slide groove 3401. Positioning the filter assembly 341 in the slide groove 3401 can ensure the stable installation of the filter assembly 341, prevent the filter assembly 341 from easily coming out of the slide groove 3401, and enable the filter assembly 341 to maintain a stable position in the slide groove 3401, thereby ensuring the reliability of the system operation.

[0192] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the positioning port 3408 may also be provided on other sidewalls of the slide groove 3401. Correspondingly, the positioning part 34138 may also be provided on other outer sidewalls of the filter assembly 341.

[0193] like Figure 10 and Figure 24 As shown, in some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​arm 3407 can be disposed on the top sidewall of the loading / unloading port 3402. The positioning port 3408 can be disposed on the bottom sidewall of the loading / unloading port 3402. When the filter assembly 341 is slidably installed in the slide groove 3401, the top of the outer end of the filter assembly 341 can be snapped with the snap-fit ​​arm 3407 through the snap-fit ​​groove 34137, and the bottom of the outer end of the filter assembly 341 can be snapped with the positioning port 3408 through the positioning part 34138, thus stably limiting the filter assembly 341 inside the slide groove 3401. This structural arrangement can effectively provide a stable installation platform, ensuring that the filter assembly 341 will not loosen or shift during use. The cooperative design of the snap-fit ​​arm 3407 and the positioning port 3408 can realize the quick loading and unloading of the filter assembly 341, greatly improving the efficiency of maintenance and replacement. In addition, the bidirectional snap-fit ​​design at the top and bottom can distribute the force evenly, avoiding the tilting or deformation problems that may occur in the filter assembly 341 during the process.

[0194] During actual installation, users can follow these steps: First, guide the filter assembly 341 into the inlet end of the slide 3401, ensuring that the outer end of the filter assembly 341 is correctly aligned with the snap-fit ​​arm 3407 and the positioning port 3408. Then, smoothly push the filter assembly 341, allowing it to move slowly along the inner wall of the slide 3401 until it is fully embedded. Finally, check whether the snap-fit ​​arm 3407 and the positioning port 3408 are fully engaged to ensure the stability and sealing of the filter assembly 341. This design not only improves the reliability and service life of the equipment but also greatly facilitates daily maintenance and replacement of the filter assembly 341. In practical applications, the wear of the snap-fit ​​arm 3407 and the positioning port 3408 can be checked periodically, and they can be replaced or adjusted as needed to ensure the long-term stable operation of the device.

[0195] like Figure 22 and Figure 24 As shown, in some embodiments, the first scraping part 34511 can be located between the first positioning rib 3404 and the second positioning rib 3405. The first scraping part 34511 can extend into the sliding groove 3401 and contact the surface of the filter assembly 341. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides in the lint collection cavity 340, the first scraping part 34511 can move smoothly in the area between the first positioning rib 3404 and the second positioning rib 3405. This movement path design allows the first scraping part 34511 to fully utilize its surface to make sliding contact with the filter assembly 341, effectively achieving the cleaning function of lint adhering to the surface of the filter assembly 341, ensuring the integrity of the cleaning path and the stability of the cleaning effect. At the same time, this structural arrangement can also effectively reduce residual lint on the surface of the filter assembly 341, thereby improving the overall filtration efficiency.

[0196] like Figure 16 , Figure 22 and Figure 24As shown, in some embodiments, two third rollers 3457c may be provided. The two third rollers 3457c may be arranged vertically at an interval. The two third rollers 3457c may abut against the first positioning rib 3404 and the second positioning rib 3405, respectively. The first scraping part 34511 may be located in the area between the two third rollers 3457c. When the cleaning assembly 345 slides in the lint collection cavity 340, one third roller 3457c can roll along the first positioning rib 3404, and the other third roller 3457c can roll along the second positioning rib 3405. This design can effectively improve the stability and accuracy of the cleaning assembly 345. Under this structural arrangement, the position of the first scraping part 34511 is also reasonably optimized, which is conducive to maintaining the distance between the first scraping part 34511 and the surface of the filter assembly 341. This not only ensures the smooth operation of the cleaning assembly 345 during the cleaning process, but also improves the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning assembly 345. Furthermore, when the cleaning assembly 345 slides within the lint collection chamber 340, each third roller 3457c can roll in cooperation with the corresponding limiting rib 34136, which can effectively improve the durability of the cleaning assembly 345.

[0197] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a spray device 33 may be provided within the mounting base 3. The spray device 33 may be arranged within the two chambers 30. The spray device 33 may be located on the side of the evaporator 13 near the air inlet 311. The spray device 33 may be located between the lint filter 34 and the evaporator 13. The spray device 33 may spray towards the surface of the evaporator 13, and the spray device 33 may be used to clean the surface of the evaporator 13. In this way, the humid and hot air in the clothing processing chamber 20 will carry a certain amount of lint into the two chambers 30. After the humid and hot air is filtered by the lint filter 34, some small lint will still enter the two chambers 30. When the humid and hot air condenses on the surface of the evaporator 13, a certain amount of lint will adhere to the surface of the evaporator 13. If the lint on the surface of the evaporator 13 is not cleaned in time, it will affect the drying airflow and drying efficiency. The spray device 33 can wash away the lint on the surface of the evaporator 13 to avoid affecting the drying airflow and drying efficiency.

[0198] In some embodiments, the spray device 33 may be arranged on one side edge of the two chambers 30 near the air inlet 311 and the air return outlet 202. The evaporator 13 may be arranged adjacent to and spaced apart from the spray device 33. In this way, the spray device 33 can spray and rinse the evaporator 13 nearby, thereby optimizing the structural layout of the two chambers 30.

[0199] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the garment handling device may include a soap tray assembly 4. The soap tray assembly 4 may be disposed within the housing 1. The soap tray assembly 4 may be located above the top of the drum assembly 2. The soap tray assembly 4 may be located below the mounting base 3. The soap tray assembly 4 can be used to add washing liquids such as detergent, fabric softener, or water. The user can add washing liquids such as detergent, fabric softener, or water to the soap tray assembly 4, allowing the washing liquid to flow along the soap tray assembly 4 into the garment handling chamber 20. When it is necessary to wash clothes, the soap tray assembly 4 can deliver laundry detergent (such as detergent, fabric softener, etc.) into the garment handling chamber 20 via a water flow.

The top of the water inlet box 41 may be fixed to the bottom of the mounting base 3, and the side of the water inlet box 41 may be fixed to the side wall of the housing 1, thereby improving the installation stability of the water inlet box 41. An external water source may enter the water inlet box 41, and the water inlet box 41 may be connected to the laundry processing chamber 20 through a pipe, thereby delivering water into the drum assembly 2 to supply water to the interior of the laundry processing chamber 20.

[0201] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the valve port of the inlet valve 15 can be connected to the inlet box 41 via a pipeline. The inlet valve 15 can supply water to the inside of the inlet box 41.

[0202] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the soap dish assembly 4 may include a soap dish 42. The soap dish 42 may be removably disposed inside the water inlet box 41. The interior of the soap dish 42 may be used to store laundry detergent. The laundry detergent in the soap dish 42 may enter the water inlet box 41, and then be delivered into the drum assembly 2 by the water flow in the water inlet box 41, so as to provide laundry detergent into the clothes handling chamber 20.

[0203] In some embodiments, the front end of the water inlet box 41 may be provided with an opening. The soap dish 42 may be slidably disposed inside the water inlet box 41 through the front opening of the water inlet box 41.

[0204] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the soap dish 42 may be exposed outside the housing 1. When the soap dish 42 is pulled out of the water inlet box 41, the soap dish 42 may be exposed on the front side wall of the housing 1 to facilitate the replenishment or addition of laundry detergent into the soap dish 42.
