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 dryers, washer-dryer combos, and other garment processing devices are household or commercial appliances that utilize mechanical, electronic, and thermodynamic technologies to clean, dry, and care for clothing. As consumers' living standards improve, their demands for garment 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 evaporator cools the airflow by condensing it, while the condenser heats it. As the airflow passes over the evaporator and condenser, lint easily adheres to the surfaces, making it 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

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clothing processing device for pre-filtering lint and improving the filtration effect of lint.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a clothing processing device is provided, comprising: a housing forming the outer shell of the clothing processing device; a cylindrical assembly disposed within the housing, the cylindrical assembly having a clothing processing chamber formed therein; an air inlet and an air outlet respectively provided on the outer wall of the cylindrical assembly communicating with the clothing processing chamber; a mounting base disposed above the cylindrical assembly; the mounting base having two chambers; the mounting base having an air inlet and an air outlet respectively communicating with the two chambers; the air inlet communicating with the air outlet, and the air outlet communicating with the air inlet. A lint filter is provided between the air inlet and the two chambers to filter lint from the air flowing through it. The lint filter has an air inlet facing the air inlet and an air outlet near the two chambers. A baffle is provided between the air inlet and the air outlet. The baffle includes multiple baffles arranged sequentially and at intervals between the air inlet and the air outlet. Air flowing out of the air inlet can pass through the baffle and the air inlet sequentially into the lint filter for filtration, and then flow into the two chambers through the air outlet.

[0008] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By cooperating with the two chambers of the mounting base and the air inlet and outlet, the garment processing chamber can be connected through the air inlet and return air outlet respectively, thus forming a drying air duct to achieve garment drying. A lint filter device is installed between the air inlet and the two chambers to filter lint in the air, trapping it inside the filter. A baffle effectively blocks larger lint or fibers, pre-filtering the air entering the lint filter device and blocking them on the side near the air inlet with multiple baffles. Due to gravity, larger lint or fibers fall off the baffles and then fall back into the drum assembly through the air inlet and return air outlet, facilitating discharge and collection from the bottom of the drum assembly. This reduces the amount of lint entering the lint filter device and the two chambers, improving the filtration effect of the lint filter device and ultimately increasing the drying efficiency of the garment processing device.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, in the direction from the air inlet to the air intake, the end of the baffle near the air intake is higher than the end of the baffle near the air inlet.

[0010] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By setting the end of the baffle near the air inlet higher than the end near the air inlet, it is easy for lint or hair to fall off the baffle and fall towards the direction of the air inlet, and then flow downwards to the air inlet, and then fall back into the cylinder assembly through the air inlet and return air inlet.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the top surface of the baffle is an inclined surface; in the direction from the air inlet to the air outlet, the top surface of the baffle is inclined upward.

[0012] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the inclined arrangement structure of the top surface of the baffle makes it easy for lint or hair to fall off from the top surface of the baffle and flow downwards along the top surface of the baffle to the air inlet.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the blocking portion is disposed on the periphery of the air inlet, and at least a portion of the blocking strip is higher than the height of the air inlet.

[0014] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: Since the height of the baffle is higher than the height of the air inlet, when larger lint or hair falls from multiple baffles, it can fall downward into the air inlet, and then easily fall back into the cylinder assembly through the air inlet and return air inlet.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting base is provided with a mounting cavity, which is located in the area between the air inlet and the two chambers; the lint filter is detachably arranged in the mounting cavity; and the plurality of baffles are arranged vertically and at intervals between the air inlet and the mounting cavity.

[0016] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By arranging baffles between the air inlet and the mounting cavity, when the lint filter is removed from the mounting cavity, the multiple baffles of the baffle can block the space between the mounting cavity and the air inlet, preventing the user from inserting their hand into the air inlet through the baffle when cleaning the mounting cavity, thereby reducing the risk of burns to the user and improving the user's safety.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the baffle is arranged laterally between the air inlet and the mounting cavity.

[0018] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by arranging the baffles laterally between the air inlet and the mounting cavity, a laterally extended air passage can be formed between adjacent baffles, which can facilitate the smooth flow of air through the air passage and into the lint filter device for filtration through the air inlet.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the blocking portion is detachably arranged between the air inlet and the mounting cavity.

[0020] The above-described technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the blocking part allows for installation and removal between the air inlet and the mounting cavity, facilitating a detachable modular design. In specific implementations, the blocking part can be positioned at a specific location between the air inlet and the mounting cavity. This design provides convenient conditions for the installation and removal of the blocking part.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the top wall of the mounting base is provided with an insertion port communicating with the mounting cavity; the top wall of the housing is provided with an installation port, and the installation port and the insertion port are arranged vertically opposite each other; the lint filter device can extend downward into the insertion port through the installation port to be arranged in the mounting cavity.

[0022] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by arranging the mounting port and the insertion port vertically opposite each other, the lint filter can extend downward into the insertion port through the mounting port and be placed in the mounting base, so that the lint filter is placed in the mounting base, which facilitates the placement of the lint filter in the area between the air inlet and the two chambers.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting base includes: a base disposed above the cylindrical assembly, the mounting cavity and the two device cavities being arranged adjacently on the top surface of the base; a top cover disposed on the top surface of the base, the top cover covering the mounting cavity and the two device cavities; and an insertion port disposed on the top cover, the insertion port being located above the top of the mounting cavity.

[0024] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the mounting cavity and the two-cavity assembly can be sealed between the base and the top cover, which facilitates the installation of the condenser and evaporator in the two-cavity assembly. The insertion port on the top cover facilitates the placement of the lint filter within the mounting base, and also facilitates the placement of the lint filter in the area between the air inlet and the two-cavity assembly.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the lint filtering device includes: a collection box disposed between the air inlet and the two chambers, the collection box having a lint collection chamber; an air inlet disposed at one end of the collection box facing the air inlet, and an air outlet disposed on the side wall of the collection box near the two chambers; and a filter assembly disposed within the collection box, on the side wall of the collection box near the two chambers, and blocking the air outlet; the filter assembly is configured to filter lint in the air flowing from the lint collection chamber to the two chambers.

[0026] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by using an air inlet arranged at one end of the collection box, it is easy for air to enter the lint collection chamber inside the collection box from the air inlet; and by using a filter assembly at the air outlet, it is easy to filter lint from the air flowing through the air outlet.

[0046] 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.

[0047] 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.

[0048] 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.

[0049] Please see Figures 1 to 2 As 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.

[0050] 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.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 2As 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.

[0052] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0053] 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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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.

[0058] In some embodiments, the tubular assembly 2 may include a door seal ring 23. The door seal ring 23 may be located 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 assembly 21, thereby sealing the gap between the clothing inlet of the housing 1 and the opening of the outer tubular assembly 21. Thus, when the door 11 closes the clothing inlet at the front of the housing 1, the door 11 can make sealed contact with the door seal ring 23. The door seal ring 23 prevents water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from entering the housing 1, while the door 11 prevents water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from overflowing from the clothing inlet of the housing 1.

[0059] 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.

[0060] 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.

[0061] 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.

[0062] 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.

[0063] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As 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.

[0064] 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.

[0065] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A partial structural diagram. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0066] 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.

[0067] 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.

[0068] 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.

[0069] 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.

[0070] 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.

[0071] 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.

[0072] 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.

[0073] 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 on 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] 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.

[0076] 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.

[0077] 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.

[0078] 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.

[0079] 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.

[0080] 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.

[0081] 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.

[0082] 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 mounting cavity 310 and the lint collection cavity 340 in the length direction may communicate with the air inlet 311.

[0083] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the housing 1 may be provided with an installation port 101. 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.

[0084] 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.

[0085] 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.

[0086] Figure 10 yes Figure 9 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0087] 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 two chambers 30. 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.

[0088] 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.

[0089] 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 of the lint collection chamber 340 along its length. A filter assembly 341 is disposed 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.

[0090] 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.

[0091] 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.

[0092] 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.

[0093] 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.

[0094] 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.

[0095] 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 be detachably inserted into the slide 3401 through the loading / unloading port 3402. In this way, the filter assembly 341 can be conveniently installed in the slide 3401 through the loading / unloading port 3402 and covered at the air outlet 3422.

[0096] 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.

[0097] 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.

[0098] like Figure 10 As 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.

[0099] like Figure 5 and Figure 8As 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.

[0100] 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.

[0101] 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.

[0102] 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.

[0103] 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.

[0104] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As 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.

[0105] 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.

[0106] Figure 11 yes Figure 7 Partially decomposed structure diagram.

[0107] like Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, a blocking part 37 may be provided inside the mounting base 3. The blocking part 37 may be located between the air inlet 311 and the air inlet 3421 of the lint filter device 34. The blocking part 37 can effectively block larger lint or fluff. The air flowing out of the air inlet 311 can flow into the lint filter device 34 through the blocking part 37. Specifically, the air flowing out of the air inlet 311 can pass through the blocking part 37 and the air inlet 311 in sequence into the lint filter device 34, be filtered by the filter assembly 341, and then flow into the two chambers 30 through the air outlet 3422. When the air flowing out of the air inlet 311 flows through the blocking part 37, the blocking part 37 can pre-filter the flowing air, blocking larger lint or fluff on the side of the blocking part 37 near the air inlet 311. Due to gravity, larger lint or hair can fall off the blocking part 37 and then fall back into the cylinder assembly 2 through the air inlet 311 and the return air inlet 202. This facilitates discharge and collection from the bottom of the cylinder assembly 2, which helps reduce the amount of lint entering the lint filter device 34 and the two chambers 30, improves the filtration effect of the lint filter device 34, and improves the drying efficiency of the garment processing device.

[0108] Figure 12 yes Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the structure of the middle blocking part 37.

[0109] like Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the blocking part 37 may include multiple baffles 371. The multiple baffles 371 may be arranged sequentially and at intervals between the air inlet 311 and the air inlet 3421 of the lint filter device 34. When air flowing from the air inlet 311 passes through the blocking part 37, the airflow can pass through the gaps between the multiple baffles 371, allowing the airflow from the air inlet 311 to smoothly pass through the air inlet 3421 and enter the lint filter device 34 for filtration. Larger lint particles can be blocked on the side of the multiple baffles 371 closest to the air inlet 311. Due to gravity, larger lint particles or fibers can fall off the multiple baffles 371 and then fall back into the cylinder assembly 2 through the air inlet 311 and the return air inlet 202.

[0110] like Figure 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the baffle 37 may be located on the periphery of the air inlet 311. At least some of the baffles 371 may be higher than the height of the air inlet 311. When larger lint or hair falls from the multiple baffles 371, it may fall downward into the air inlet 311, and then easily fall back into the cylinder assembly 2 through the air inlet 311 and the return air inlet 202.

[0111] like Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, an air passage 372 can be formed between adjacent baffles 371. The airflow from the air inlet 311 can flow through the air passage 372 and then smoothly enter the lint filter 34 for filtration through the air inlet 3421.

[0112] like Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, multiple baffles 371 can be arranged vertically at intervals between the air inlet 311 and the mounting cavity 310. When the lint filter 34 is removed from the mounting cavity 310, the multiple baffles 371 of the blocking part 37 can block the space between the mounting cavity 310 and the air inlet 311, preventing the user from inserting their hand into the air inlet 311 through the blocking part 37 when cleaning the mounting cavity 310, thereby reducing the risk of burns to the user and improving user safety.

[0113] like Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the baffle 371 is arranged laterally between the air inlet 311 and the mounting cavity 310. The baffle 371 can be arranged horizontally. The two ends of the baffle 371 can be fixed in the mounting base 3. A laterally extending air passage 372 can be formed between adjacent baffles 371, which can facilitate the smooth flow of air through the air passage 372 and into the lint filter device 34 for filtration through the air inlet 3421.

[0114] In some other embodiments, the baffle 371 may also be arranged laterally and obliquely between the air inlet 311 and the mounting cavity 310. In this case, the baffle 371 may have a certain angle with the horizontal direction.

[0115] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the blocking part 37 can be detachably arranged between the air inlet 311 and the mounting cavity 310. The blocking part 37 allows for installation and removal between the air inlet 311 and the mounting cavity 310, facilitating a detachable modular design. In specific implementations, the blocking part 37 can be positioned at a specific location between the air inlet 311 and the mounting cavity 310. This design provides convenient conditions for the installation and removal of the blocking part 37.

[0116] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the blocking part 37 may also be integrally formed between the air inlet 311 and the mounting cavity 310.

[0117] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the blocking portion 37 may include a vertical connecting strip 373. The vertical connecting strip 373 may extend vertically. Two vertical connecting strips 373 may be provided. The two vertical connecting strips 373 may be respectively disposed on opposite sides of the plurality of baffles 371 in the lateral direction. One end of the plurality of baffles 371 may be connected to one vertical connecting strip 373, and the other end of the plurality of baffles 371 may be connected to another vertical connecting strip 373, thereby fixing the plurality of baffles 371 laterally in the area between the two vertical connecting strips 373 and fixing the spacing between the plurality of baffles 371.

[0118] In some embodiments, a slide rail and a slide rail groove may be provided on the outer wall of the vertical connecting bar 373 and the corresponding inner wall of the mounting base 3, respectively. For example, the slide rail is provided on the inner wall of the mounting base 3 corresponding to the blocking part 37, and the slide rail groove is provided on the outer wall of the vertical connecting bar 373. By cooperating with the slide rail and the slide rail groove, the vertical connecting bar 373 of the blocking part 37 can be detachably fixed inside the mounting base 3, thereby allowing the blocking part 37 to be positioned at a specific position between the air inlet 311 and the mounting cavity 310.

[0119] Figure 13 yes Figure 6 A cross-sectional structural diagram. Figure 14 yes Figure 13 A magnified view of the local structure.

[0120] like Figure 9 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, in the direction from the air inlet 311 toward the air outlet 3421, or in the direction from the air inlet 311 toward the mounting cavity 310, the end of the baffle 371 near the air outlet 3421 may be higher than the end of the baffle 371 near the air inlet 311. Thus, by having the end of the baffle 371 near the air outlet 3421 higher than the end of the baffle 371 near the air outlet 311, it is easier for lint or hair to fall from the blocking part 37, fall towards the air inlet 311, and then flow downwards toward the air inlet 311, and then fall back into the cylinder assembly 2 through the air inlet 311 and the return air outlet 202.

[0121] In some embodiments, the top surface of the baffle 371 can be an inclined surface. The top surface of the baffle 371 can be arranged inclined upwards in the direction from the air inlet 311 towards the air outlet 3421, or in the direction from the air inlet 311 towards the mounting cavity 310. Thus, the inclined arrangement of the top surface of the baffle 371 facilitates the falling of lint or hair from the top surface of the blocking portion 37, allowing it to flow downwards along the top surface of the baffle 371 towards the air inlet 311.

[0122] In some other embodiments, the bottom surface of the baffle 371 may also be an inclined surface. The bottom surface of the baffle 371 may also be arranged inclined upward in the direction from the air inlet 311 toward the air outlet 3421, or in the direction from the air inlet 311 toward the mounting cavity 310.

[0123] In some embodiments, the tilt angle of the top surface of the baffle 371 may be greater than 0°. With the tilt angle of the top surface of the baffle 371 greater than 0°, it is convenient for lint or hair to fall off from the top surface of the blocking part 37.

[0124] In some embodiments, the tilt angle of the top surface of the baffle 371 can be less than 45°. By having the top surface of the baffle 371 tilted at less than 45°, it is easier to reduce the resistance of the baffle 371 to the airflow without affecting the efficiency of airflow circulation.

[0125] In some embodiments, the tilt angle of the top surface of the baffle 371 can be greater than 0° and less than 45°. Thus, by setting the top surface of the baffle 371 to have a tilt angle greater than 0° and less than 45°, it is possible to facilitate the falling of lint or hair from the top surface of the blocking part 37, and at the same time, it can reduce the resistance of the baffle 371 to the airflow. This not only effectively traps lint but also does not affect the efficiency of airflow circulation.

[0126] like Figure 5 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the air inlet 311 may be located on the top surface of the base 31. The mounting base 3 may include an air inlet cover 36. The air inlet cover 36 may be placed over the opening on the top surface of the air inlet 311. In this way, the air inlet 311 can be sealed between the base 31 and the air inlet cover 36. When it is necessary to clean the air inlet 311, only the air inlet cover 36 needs to be opened separately, which makes it convenient for the user to clean the air inlet 311 separately and simplifies the operation.

[0127] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the air intake cover 36 can also be integrally formed on the top cover 32.

[0128] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As 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.
