[0047] In washing machine related technologies, such as washer-dryer combos, there are mainly heat pump washer-dryers and electric heating washer-dryers. These washing machines all have a certain drying effect, but they generally have the problem that the filter screen of the drying air duct is not effective in blocking lint, resulting in too much lint in the drying air duct, affecting the drying efficiency, and lint can easily enter other components through the drying air duct.

[0048] Based on this, the following embodiments are proposed.

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 6, 7, and 8, this embodiment provides a filter assembly for use in a flow channel to filter fluid flowing through the flow channel; the filter assembly includes:

[0051] A mesh frame 1 and a filter screen 2 are provided, wherein the mesh frame 1 has a mesh frame opening and the filter screen 2 is disposed at the mesh frame opening;

[0052] Filler 3, which is used to fill the assembly gap between the space frame 1 and the flow channel.

[0053] In this embodiment, the filter assembly can be installed in the flow channel of the fluid being filtered, i.e., the flow channel of the washing machine's drying air duct. The installation method is to connect the mesh frame 1 to the inner wall of the flow channel, so that the filter assembly is fixed inside the flow channel. Thus, the filter assembly can filter the airflow flowing in the drying air duct and block the lint carried in the airflow. With the mesh frame 1 connected to the inner wall of the flow channel, the filler 3 is squeezed between the mesh frame 1 and the inner wall of the flow channel. Preferably, the filler 3 is made of an elastic absorbent material, such as an elastic absorbent sponge. The filler 3 fills the assembly gap between the mesh frame 1 and the inner wall of the flow channel, preventing lint from entering other parts of the washing machine through the assembly gap. The setting of the filler 3 improves the lint blocking effect of the filter assembly, improves the cleanliness and operational stability of the drying air duct, and effectively prevents lint from affecting the drying efficiency. Meanwhile, the filler 3 has a certain water absorption capacity. The airflow in the drying duct sometimes carries a certain amount of water vapor. The water vapor easily forms a water film on the filter screen 2. When the filter screen 2 is in a ventilated state, the water film can be pushed to the periphery of the filter screen 2 by the wind and absorbed by the filler 3. Thus, the filler 3 plays a role in accelerating the removal of the water film.

[0054] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown,

[0055] The filler 3 is disposed around the outside of the space frame 1 and can cover at least a portion of the surface of the space frame 1.

[0056] The filler 3 covers at least a portion of the surface of the mesh frame 1, so that the filler 3 itself can fully perform its function of filling the assembly gaps and adsorbing the water film on the filter screen 2.

[0057] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown,

[0058] The space frame 1 includes an inner ring wall 101 and an outer ring wall 102;

[0059] The inner ring wall 101 is configured to form the mesh frame opening, and the filter screen 2 is provided at the mesh frame opening; the outer ring wall 102 is used to be disposed on the flow channel, and the outer side wall of the outer ring wall 102 is connected to the filler 3, and the filler 3 abuts against the flow channel.

[0060] In this embodiment, the filter screen 2 is connected to the inner ring wall 101 of the mesh frame 1. The filter screen 2, as the main filter component in the filter screen assembly, is located inside the mesh frame 1, which facilitates the connection between the outer side of the mesh frame 1 and the flow channel. The filler 3 is connected to the outer ring wall 102 and covers at least part of the surface of the mesh frame 1. The mesh frame 1 is connected to the flow channel, and the filler 3 fits against the flow channel. The connection method between the filler 3 and the outer ring wall 102 allows the filler 3 to fully play its role in filling the assembly gaps and adsorbing the water film on the filter screen 2.

[0061] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown,

[0062] The outer ring wall 102 has a first connecting part 5, and the wall surface where the filler 3 is connected to the outer ring wall 102 has a second connecting part 6 that fits with the first connecting part 5. The first connecting part 5 and the second connecting part 6 cooperate to connect the filler 3 and the outer ring wall 102.

[0063] Preferably, the first connecting part 5 is a groove, and the second connecting part 6 is a protrusion, with the protrusion fixedly bonded to the groove.

[0064] In this embodiment, both the mesh frame 1 and the filler 3 are annular, and the filter screen 2 is circular. By adding adhesive to the grooves or protrusions, the grooves and protrusions are bonded to each other, thereby fixing the filler 3 to the outer contour line of the mesh frame 1. This connection method not only makes the connection between the filler 3 and the outer ring wall 102 firm, but also makes it easy for the filler 3 to cover the surface of the mesh frame 1. Thus, when the mesh frame 1 is connected to the flow channel, the filler 3 fits against the flow channel. The filler 3 can fully play its role in filling the assembly gaps and adsorbing the water film on the filter screen 2, effectively preventing lint from passing through the assembly gap between the mesh frame 1 and the inner wall of the flow channel and accumulating on the rear section of the drying air duct, the fan blades of the drying fan, and other washing machine components such as the two-piece assembly. This avoids the lint affecting the drying performance of the washing machine, ensures the cleanliness of the drying air duct, and effectively improves the drying efficiency.

[0065] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figures 3-8 As shown,

[0066] The sprayer 7 includes a spray head 701, a water inlet pipe 702 communicating with the spray head 701, and an assembly plate 703 connected to the water inlet pipe 702; the assembly plate 703 is used to set the spray head 701 on the flow channel, and the spray head 701 is set close to the filter screen 2.

[0067] The spray head 701 has a spray nozzle, which can spray water onto the filter screen 2.

[0068] In this embodiment, water is supplied to the water inlet pipe 702, and the water is sprayed out from the spray nozzle 704 along the spray head 701 and sprayed onto the filter screen 2, which cleans the filter screen 2. The mounting plate 703 makes it easy to fix the entire sprayer to the mounting surface, so that the entire sprayer is fixed on the upper side of the filter screen 2.

[0069] In this embodiment, by setting up the sprayer 7, lint on the filter screen 2 can be washed and cleaned from multiple directions during the clothes drying process of the washing machine, ensuring the cleanliness of the drying air duct and effectively improving drying efficiency. The sprayer 7 enables automatic cleaning of the filter screen 2, eliminating the need for manual cleaning, making the cleaning operation convenient and improving the user experience.

[0070] In addition, the filter assembly is located in the flow channel and its shape matches the flow channel. In addition to rinsing and cleaning the filter 2 by the sprayer, the washing water can also be agitated by the clothes treatment drum 15 during operation to wash away the residual clothes lint on the filter 2, thus achieving a rinsing effect.

[0071] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, as shown in 1, 2, 5-7,

[0072] The filter screen 2 has a center and an edge. From the edge to the center, the mesh of the filter screen 2 protrudes towards the spray head 701.

[0073] In this embodiment, the design of the center of the filter screen 2 being raised compared to the periphery makes it easier for the water film on the filter screen 2 to disperse to the periphery under the action of airflow or its own weight. Thus, whether the water film is formed during the spraying process or formed by water vapor in the drying air duct, it is easy to disperse to the periphery under the action of airflow or its own weight, and be absorbed by the filler 3 or fall and be discharged along the drying air duct.

[0074] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, as shown in 1-3,

[0075] The mesh frame 1 is provided with ribs 8, which are attached to one side of the mesh surface of the filter screen 2, and the spray head 701 is located on the other side of the mesh surface of the filter screen 2.

[0076] The two ends of the rib 8 are fixedly connected to two opposite points on the inner ring wall 101. The rib 8 reinforces the mesh surface of the filter screen 2, so that the mesh surface of the filter screen 2 maintains the shape of the middle convexity and prevents the mesh surface of the filter screen 2 from deforming.

[0077] Example 2

[0078] like Figures 6-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a garment processing device.

[0079] The garment processing drum has a flow channel 15, and its drum wall is provided with an air outlet flow channel 4, which is connected to the garment processing drum flow channel 15.

[0080] The filter assembly according to any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the filter assembly is disposed in the air outlet flow channel 4.

[0081] An installation port communicating with the flow channel is provided on the side wall of the flow channel. A mounting bracket 9 is provided at the installation port. The assembly plate 703 is provided on the mounting bracket 9. The spray head 701 enters the interior of the flow channel through the installation port.

[0082] Furthermore, an installation port channel 10 is provided on the side wall of the air outlet channel 4, which communicates with the air outlet channel 4. An installation bracket channel 9 is provided at the installation port channel 10. The assembly plate channel 703 is provided on the installation bracket channel 9. The spray head channel 701 enters the interior of the air outlet channel 4 through the installation port channel 10.

[0083] In this embodiment, the sprayer 7 is fixed to the air outlet duct 4 by connecting the assembly plate 703 and the mounting bracket 9 with screws, ensuring that the spray nozzle 704 faces the filter screen 2. This design allows the filter screen assembly to be firmly fixed to the air outlet duct 4. The sprayer 7 is located above the filter screen 2, facilitating spraying and cleaning of the filter screen 2. The spray head 701 in the sprayer 7 is connected to the air outlet duct 4 by a pin, making assembly convenient. The sprayer 7 can wash and clean the lint on the filter screen 2 during the drying process of clothes in the washing machine, improving the cleanliness of the drying air duct and increasing drying efficiency. The advantages of the filter screen assembly in Embodiment 1 are also present in this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0084] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown,

[0085] The garment processing equipment also includes:

[0086] Drying components and water supply components;

[0087] The opening of the garment processing cylinder 15 is provided with an air inlet channel 401, which is connected to the garment processing cylinder.

[0088] The drying assembly is located outside the clothing processing drum 15 and includes an air passage 19, a two-piece box, and a drying fan 21; the two-piece box contains two pieces 20, and the air inlet duct 401, air passage 19, two-piece box, drying fan 21, and air outlet duct 4 are connected in sequence.

[0089] The water supply assembly includes a water valve 17 and a water supply pipe 16; the water valve 17, the water supply pipe 16, and the water inlet pipe 702 are connected in sequence.

[0090] The drying fan 21 operates, causing the drying airflow to enter the clothes processing drum 15 along the air inlet channel 401 to dry the clothes. After being filtered by the filter assembly, the drying airflow continues to circulate through the air outlet channel 4.

[0091] By opening the water valve 17, water enters the water supply pipe 16, flows through the water supply pipe 16 to the water inlet pipe 702, then into the spray head 701, and finally sprays out from the spray nozzle 704 onto the filter screen 2. This allows the sprayer 7 to spray and rinse the filter screen 2, removing lint from the filter screen.

[0092] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5,

[0093] The mesh frame 1 is provided with screw connectors 11 and / or snap-fit ​​connectors 12. The mesh frame 1 is connected to the air outlet channel 4 through the screw connectors 11 and / or snap-fit ​​connectors 12. The filler 3 fills the assembly gap between the mesh frame 1 and the air outlet channel 4.

[0094] The screw connector 11 has a screw hole. By screwing the screw into the screw hole and the mounting surface, the screw connector 11 is fixed to the mounting surface, thereby fixing the mesh frame 1 to the mounting surface. Preferably, the screw connector 11 and the snap-fit ​​connector 12 can be used simultaneously. The snap-fit ​​connector 12 can be directly snapped into the snap-fit ​​position on the mounting surface, which is convenient for disassembly and can maintain a firm connection between the mesh frame 1 and the mounting surface. The mounting surface is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air outlet duct 4.

[0095] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, as shown in 1, 2, and 5,

[0096] The mounting bracket 9 has a sealing ring groove 13, and a sealing ring 14 is provided at the sealing ring groove 13. The inner side wall of the sealing ring 14 abuts against the hole wall of the mounting port 10. The mounting plate 703 has a protrusion 18 that abuts against and cooperates with the sealing ring 14.

[0097] The sealing ring groove 13 provides a mounting position for the sealing ring 14. The sealing ring 14 is partially installed in the sealing ring groove 13, making the sealing ring 14 more firmly connected to the mounting bracket 9. The connection between the sealing ring 14 and the sealing ring groove 13 has an annular protrusion that fits the shape of the sealing ring groove 13. The annular protrusion is stuck in the sealing ring groove 13. The inner sidewall of the sealing ring 14 abuts against the hole wall of the mounting port 10. The inner sidewall of the sealing ring 14 can be fixedly bonded to the hole wall of the mounting port 10. Thus, the inner sidewall of the sealing ring 14 provides a good sealing effect at the mounting port 10. When the assembly plate 703 is connected to the mounting bracket 9, the protrusion 18 holds the inner sidewall of the sealing ring 14 between itself and the hole wall of the mounting port 10. Thus, the setting of the sealing ring 14 can effectively prevent the spray water or hot air flow inside the flow channel from escaping from the mounting port 10.

[0098] In summary, the ingenious design of the filter assembly lies in:

[0099] First, by setting up fillers, the assembly gap between the mesh frame and the inner wall of the flow channel is filled, preventing lint from entering other parts of the washing machine through the assembly gap. In addition, the fillers have a certain water absorption capacity. When the filter screen is in a ventilated state, the water film can be pushed to the periphery of the filter screen by the wind and absorbed by the fillers. The fillers play a role in accelerating the removal of the water film.

[0100] Secondly, the design of the filter screen with a raised center compared to the periphery makes it easier for the water film on the filter screen to disperse to the periphery under the action of airflow or its own weight. Thus, whether the water film is formed during the spraying process or formed by water vapor in the drying duct, it is easy to disperse to the periphery under the action of airflow or its own weight, and be absorbed by the filling material or fall and be discharged along the drying duct.
