[0002] With social progress and technological development, garment processing devices have become common household appliances. As living standards improve at a faster pace, people are using garment processing devices more frequently and have increasingly higher requirements for them.

[0003] Currently, during the drying process of clothing processing devices, clothing, especially cotton and velvet garments, will produce lint due to the drying and fluffing. This lint is discharged through the drain valve, where a filter screen is installed to filter and collect the lint.

[0004] The filter device mainly forms a dense filter hole by setting multiple baffles, or forms a multiple mesh structure through the filter structure, which can achieve a relatively good filtration effect. However, the dense mesh and filter holes in the filter device often cause problems for users to clean, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a garment processing device to solve the problem that residual lint is difficult to clean in the drainage filter structure of existing garment processing devices.

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

[0007] One aspect of this application provides a garment processing device, including a housing forming the outer shell of the garment processing device; a cylindrical assembly disposed within the housing, the cylindrical assembly forming a garment processing chamber; the cylindrical assembly having a water outlet for draining water; and a drainage filtration assembly, the drainage filtration assembly including: a housing disposed within the housing, the housing having a mounting cavity; an inlet and a outlet respectively communicating with the mounting cavity on the outer wall of the housing, the inlet being connected to the water outlet; and a filter element disposed within the mounting cavity; the filter element extending along the length of the mounting cavity; the filter element including: a bottom wall disposed at the bottom of the filter element and extending along the length of the mounting cavity. The direction extends; a first partition rib, comprising multiple first partition ribs arranged in parallel at intervals, with a first filter hole formed between any adjacent first partition ribs; wherein, one end of the first partition rib is a fixed end, the fixed end being connected to one side of the bottom wall; the other end of the first partition rib is a suspended end, the suspended end extending from the fixed end toward the other side of the bottom wall, and the suspended end being spaced apart from the other side of the bottom wall; when water in the clothing processing chamber is discharged through the outlet, the discharged water can enter the mounting chamber through the inlet, and the water in the mounting chamber can flow through the first filter hole to the drain outlet and be discharged through the drain outlet.

[0008] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By using parallel and spaced first baffle ribs to form the first filter holes, hair, clothing fibers, etc. in the water flow can be blocked on the first baffle ribs when flowing through the bottom wall, and the water flows out of the installation cavity through the first filter holes. Furthermore, by setting one end of the first baffle rib as a fixed end so that the first baffle rib can be fixedly connected to the bottom wall, and the other end of the first baffle rib is a suspended end, extending from one side of the fixed end to the other side of the bottom wall, and thus spaced apart from the bottom wall to form an interval space, this not only ensures the connection strength between the first baffle rib and the bottom wall, but also allows the user to more easily clean up impurities such as hair that are wrapped around or trapped on the bottom wall through the interval space.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided. The filter element includes a first sidewall disposed on one side of the filter element and extending along the length direction of the mounting cavity; a second sidewall disposed on the side of the filter element opposite to the first sidewall and extending along the length direction of the mounting cavity; a first end wall disposed at one end of the filter element, the first end wall being connected between one end of the first sidewall and one end of the second sidewall; the bottom of the first end wall being connected to the bottom wall; a second filter section disposed on the first sidewall, the second filter section including a plurality of second filter holes; and a third filter section disposed on the second sidewall. The third filter section includes a plurality of third filter holes; the fourth filter section is disposed on the first end wall and includes a plurality of fourth filter holes; wherein, the bottom wall, the first side wall, the second side wall and the first end wall form a filter cavity, and the filter cavity is connected to the liquid inlet; when the water in the clothing processing cavity is discharged through the water outlet, the discharged water can enter the filter cavity through the liquid inlet, and the water in the filter cavity can flow to the drain outlet through the first filter hole, the second filter hole, the third filter hole and the fourth filter hole respectively, and be discharged through the drain outlet.

[0010] Another technical solution described above has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By providing a second filter section on the first sidewall of the filter element, a third filter section on the second sidewall, and a fourth filter section on the first endwall, when water flows from the outlet of the cylindrical assembly to the drainage filter assembly, the water flows through the filter chamber formed by the bottom wall, the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the first endwall. The filter element can filter the water flow from multiple directions and angles, thus preventing impurities from accumulating in one place after entering the filter chamber. It also more efficiently intercepts large particles such as hair and clothing fibers in the water flow, achieving highly efficient water filtration. In this way, the water flow inside the cylindrical assembly, after passing through the filter element, can trap impurities such as lint in the filter chamber before flowing to the drain outlet and being discharged from the machine body, effectively preventing drainage blockage.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided. The second filter section includes a plurality of vertically and parallelly arranged second baffles, which are spaced apart, and a second filter hole is formed between any adjacent second baffles. The third filter section includes a plurality of vertically and parallelly arranged third baffles, which are spaced apart, and a third filter hole is formed between any adjacent third baffles. The fourth filter section includes a plurality of vertically and parallelly arranged fourth baffles, which are spaced apart, and a fourth filter hole is formed between any adjacent fourth baffles. The top ends of the second sidewall and the first endwall enclose an open opening communicating with the filter cavity, and the second filter hole, the third filter hole, and the fourth filter hole are respectively communicating with the open opening.

[0012] Another technical solution described above has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by enclosing the tops of the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the first endwall to form an open opening, and with the filter holes on each wall surface communicating with the open opening, hair and other impurities entangled on each wall surface can be directly removed through the open opening. Specifically, the open opening provides another cleaning outlet for the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the first endwall, allowing users to quickly clean the impurities in the filter chamber by brushing the hair and debris towards the top-mounted open opening.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided, wherein the spacing width between any adjacent first partition ribs is greater than the spacing width between any adjacent second partition ribs.

[0014] Another technical solution described above has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by making the width of the first filter hole greater than the width of the second filter hole, filter holes of different sizes are formed on the bottom wall and the first side wall. The larger spacing of the first baffle ribs effectively reduces the pressure of large-diameter impurities on the filter element, preventing their accumulation and clogging. The smaller spacing of the second baffle ribs provides filtration space for fine impurities, which is beneficial for achieving graded filtration of impurities in the water flow, resulting in a more refined filtration effect.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided, wherein the spacing width between any adjacent first partition ribs is greater than the spacing width between any adjacent third partition ribs.

[0016] Another technical solution described above has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by setting the width of the first filter hole to be greater than the width of the third filter hole, filter holes of different sizes are formed on the bottom wall and the second side wall. The larger spacing of the first baffle ribs effectively reduces the pressure of large-diameter impurities on the filter element, preventing their accumulation and clogging. The smaller spacing of the third baffle ribs provides filtration space for fine impurities, which is beneficial for achieving graded filtration of impurities in the water flow, resulting in a more refined filtration effect.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided, wherein the upper end of the first sidewall is inclined toward the side where the second sidewall is located, the plane where the bottom wall is located is a first reference plane, the plane where the first sidewall is located is a second reference plane, and the included angle between the first reference plane and the second reference plane is 45°~90°.

[0018] Another technical solution in the above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by tilting the first sidewall toward the second sidewall, the area of ​​the first sidewall can be increased, the space for the first filter part to be distributed along the first sidewall can be increased, thereby increasing the effective filtration area space of the filter chamber and further improving the filtration effect of the filter element on the water flow.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided, wherein the upper end of the second sidewall is inclined toward the side where the first sidewall is located, the plane where the bottom wall is located is a first reference plane, the plane where the second sidewall is located is a third reference plane, and the included angle between the first reference plane and the third reference plane is 45°~90°.

[0020] Another technical solution in the above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by tilting the second sidewall toward the first sidewall, the area of ​​the second sidewall can be increased, the space for the second filter part to be distributed along the second sidewall can be increased, thereby increasing the effective filtration area of ​​the filter chamber and further improving the filtration effect of the filter element on the water flow.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided, wherein the liquid inlet is located on a side wall of the mounting cavity in the lateral direction; a water outlet is provided on the first side wall, the water outlet is connected to the filter cavity, and the water outlet is arranged opposite to the liquid inlet; the water discharged from the outlet can sequentially pass through the liquid inlet and the water outlet into the filter cavity.

[0022] Another technical solution in the above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by setting the liquid inlet of the shell on one side wall of the installation cavity, and the water outlet provided on the first side wall is arranged opposite to the liquid inlet, the water discharged from the outlet can directly and quickly enter the filter cavity through the liquid inlet and the water outlet, reducing the detour and stagnation of the water flow and further improving the drainage efficiency.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided. The drainage filter assembly further includes a knob, which is disposed on the end of the filter element away from the first end wall. The water outlet is located on the end of the first side wall near the knob. One end of the housing is provided with a mounting port, which communicates with the mounting cavity. The filter element can be detachably extended into the mounting cavity through the mounting port. When the filter element is extended into the mounting cavity, the water outlet and the liquid inlet are arranged opposite each other, and the knob can close the mounting port.

[0024] Another technical solution described above has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the knob facilitates user operation in removing or installing the filter element from the housing, and also serves to seal the installation port. Furthermore, when the knob seals the installation port, the water inlet on the filter element and the liquid inlet on the housing are aligned, allowing water in the cylinder assembly to flow unobstructed from the liquid inlet through the water inlet to the filter chamber during operation. This ensures that the water flows along the length of the filter element through the filter holes, effectively improving the guidance of water flow within the filter chamber.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided, the garment processing device further including a reinforcing member disposed on the side wall of the housing; one end of the housing having the mounting port is connected to the reinforcing member, and the other end of the housing extends downward at an angle.

[0026] Another technical solution described above has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by incorporating reinforcing components, the structural strength of the housing is enhanced, preventing deformation or damage caused by water flow impact or long-term use. This ensures the drainage filter assembly is securely fixed to the housing, preventing loosening or detachment. Furthermore, by arranging the other end of the housing in a downward-sloping configuration, liquid flow is effectively guided. When the user needs to disassemble the filter assembly, even if a small amount of residual liquid remains inside the housing, it will flow towards the drain outlet due to the inclined layout, rather than towards the user or other parts of the equipment. This avoids backflow of liquid, which could negatively impact the user experience, and reduces the cleaning work required after disassembling and cleaning the filter assembly.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, a garment processing device is provided, wherein the length extension direction of the housing is a reference line, the plane containing the horizontal plane is a fourth reference plane, and the angle between the reference line and the fourth reference plane is in the range of 2°~8°.

[0028] Another technical solution in the above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by setting the angle between the reference line of the length extension direction of the housing and the fourth reference surface to a range of 2°~8°, the lower end of the housing is tilted downwards. When the filter element is removed, the residual liquid in the filter element can flow back into the mounting cavity of the housing along the tilted direction, avoiding the liquid in the filter element being brought out during the removal process and causing operational inconvenience.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0054] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a garment processing device according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A partial exploded view.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 1 can form the outer shell of the garment processing equipment, and the internal space of the housing 1 can provide installation space for components such as the drum assembly 2, the base (not shown in the figure), and the heat pump system (not shown in the figure). It should be noted that the garment processing equipment can be a dryer, a washer-dryer combo, or other garment processing equipment.

[0056] In some embodiments, a clothing loading port (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the front surface of the box 1, which connects to the internal space of the box 1. A door (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the front side of the box 1, which is used to open and close the clothing loading port on the front side of the box 1, thereby opening and closing the space inside.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the door and the body 1 can be connected by a hinge, and the door can rotate around the axis of the hinge to open and close the door and open and close the clothing loading port.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the drum assembly 2 can be disposed inside the housing 1. A drum opening 201 is formed on the front end face of the drum, which is directly opposite the clothing inlet and the door of the housing 1. A clothing processing chamber 202 is formed inside the drum. The drum opening 201 can communicate with the clothing processing chamber 202. The clothing processing chamber 202 can serve as a storage location for clothing washing, drying, and other processing procedures. After the door is opened, clothing can be sequentially placed into the clothing processing chamber 202 inside the drum through the clothing inlet on the front side of the housing 1 and the drum opening 201 for drying.

[0059] In some embodiments, the drum assembly 2 is rotatably disposed within the housing 1. During the clothes drying process in the clothes processing chamber 202, the drum assembly 2 can drive the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 202 to rotate, thereby improving the drying uniformity and drying efficiency of the clothes.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the tub assembly 2 may be provided with a water outlet 203. The water outlet 203 can be used for drainage. Specifically, during washing, spin-drying, drying, etc., water in the tub assembly 2 can be discharged through the water outlet 203, thereby preventing water from stagnating or accumulating in the tub assembly 2.

[0061] Figure 3 for Figure 2 A three-dimensional view of the drainage filtration components in the middle; Figure 4 for Figure 3 Exploded view.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment processing device may include a drainage filter assembly 4. The drainage filter assembly 4 can be used to control the discharge of water within the tubular assembly 2 and guide the drainage process, thereby realizing the drainage control function of the garment processing device.

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the drainage filter assembly 4 may include a housing 41. The housing 41 may be disposed inside the housing 1, and the housing 41 may have an installation cavity 401. The outer wall of the housing 41 may have an inlet 402 and an outlet 403 respectively communicating with the installation cavity 401, and the inlet 402 is connected to the outlet 203.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the drainage filter assembly 4 may include a filter element 42. The filter element 42 may be disposed within the mounting cavity. The filter element 42 may extend along the length direction of the mounting cavity. By extending the filter element 42 along the length direction of the mounting cavity 401, the extended arrangement allows water to contact the filter element 42 for a longer period of time when it flows through it, thereby more effectively removing impurities, fibers, hair, and other contaminants from the water.

[0065] Figure 5 for Figure 4 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the filter element; Figure 6 for Figure 5 Top view of the filter element; Figure 7 for Figure 5 A cross-sectional view.

[0066] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter element 42 may include a bottom wall 421. The bottom wall 421 may be disposed at the bottom of the filter element 42 and extends along the length direction of the mounting cavity 401.

[0067] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter element 42 may include a first filter section 426. The first filter section 426 may be disposed on the bottom wall 421. The first filter section 426 may include a plurality of first filter holes 404. By providing the first filter section 426 on the bottom wall 421, when water flows through the bottom wall 421, the plurality of first filter holes 404 on the first filter section 426 can intercept large particles such as hair and clothing fibers in the water flow.

[0068] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first filter section 426 may include a plurality of parallel first baffle ribs 4261. The plurality of first baffle ribs 4261 may be arranged at intervals. A first filter hole 404 may be formed between any adjacent first baffle ribs 4261.

[0069] Specifically, the first filter section 426 employs parallel, spaced-apart first baffle ribs 4261 to form first filter holes 404. Hair, clothing fibers, and other debris in the water flow can be blocked by the first baffle ribs 4261 as they pass through the bottom wall 421, while the water flows out of the mounting cavity 401 through the first filter holes 404. Moreover, the first filter section 426 uses multiple spaced-apart first baffle ribs 4261, forming elongated first filter holes 404, which makes it easier for users to clean and remove hair, clothing fibers, and other impurities from the filter element 42 compared to existing perforated filter structures.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of first baffle ribs 4261 can be arranged at intervals along the length of the bottom wall 421. By uniformly arranging the first baffle ribs 4261 along the length, the pressure of water flowing through the bottom wall 421 can be dispersed, and the filtration area of ​​the bottom wall 421 can be increased, further improving the filtration effect.

[0071] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the plurality of first baffle ribs 4261 may be distributed only on a portion of the bottom wall 421. Of course, in other embodiments, the plurality of first baffle ribs 4261 may cover the entire bottom wall 421.

[0072] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the first partition rib 4261 can be a fixed end 42611. The fixed end 42611 can be connected to one side of the bottom wall 421. The other end of the first partition rib 4261 can be a suspended end 42612. The suspended end 42612 can extend from the fixed end 42611 toward the other side of the bottom wall 421, and the suspended end 42612 and the other side of the bottom wall 421 can be spaced apart.

[0073] Current filter elements primarily filter large particles such as hair and clothing fibers from the water flow by setting dense baffles or forming multiple mesh structures through a filter screen. However, during daily cleaning, the dense filter pore structure makes it difficult for hair and debris to be removed from the filter element, resulting in cleaning difficulties.

[0074] In this application, by setting one end of the first partition rib 4261 as a fixed end 42611, the first partition rib 4261 can be fixedly connected to the bottom wall 421. The other end of the first partition rib 4261 is a suspended end 42612, extending from one side of the fixed end 42611 to the other side of the bottom wall 421, thereby forming a gap space 400 between it and the bottom wall 421. This not only ensures the connection strength between the first partition rib 4261 and the bottom wall 421, but also allows the user to more easily clean up impurities such as hair that are wrapped around or trapped on the bottom wall 421 through the gap space 400. Specifically, the gap space 400 provides a cleaning outlet for hair and other impurities wrapped around the first partition ribs 4261 on the bottom wall 421. The user can remove impurities from the filter element by brushing the hair towards one side of the gap space 400.

[0075] Furthermore, the spacing between the suspended end 42612 and the bottom wall 421 provides more transition space for the water flow. During the use of the clothing processing equipment, there may be large particles of debris. The spacing space 400 helps to prevent these debris from directly clogging the first filter hole. In addition, it can reduce the direct impact of large particles on the filter hole and reduce the risk of clogging the filter hole.

[0076] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the spacer space 400 can be an elongated through-hole, and the spacer space 400 can extend along the length of the bottom wall 421. Since the first baffle ribs 4261 are arranged at intervals along the length of the bottom wall 421, and the direction of each first filter hole 404 is the same as the extension direction of the spacer space 400, the user can more quickly clean the impurities trapped on each first baffle rib 4261 through the spacer space 400 to remove the impurities in the mounting cavity 401.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first partition rib 4261 has a fixed end 42611 on the side of the bottom wall 421 near the first side wall 422, and the first partition rib 4261 has a suspended end 42612 on the side of the bottom wall 421 near the second side wall 423.

[0078] In some other embodiments, both ends of the first partition rib 4261 are suspended ends 42612. The first partition ribs 4261 are connected to each other. The first partition rib 4261 located near the first end wall 424 can be connected to the bottom end of the first end wall 424, and the first partition rib 4261 located near the second end wall 425 can be connected to the bottom end of the first end wall 424.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the drain filter assembly 4 may include a valve assembly (not shown) and a pump assembly 43. The pump assembly 43 can move the valve assembly to open or close the drain port 403. When the drain port 403 is open, water can flow through the mounting cavity 401 and be discharged from the drain port 403. Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter element 42 may include a first sidewall 422. The first sidewall 422 may be disposed on one side of the filter element 42 and extend along the length direction of the mounting cavity 401.

[0080] In some embodiments, the filter element 42 may include a second filter section 427. The second filter section 427 may be disposed on the first sidewall 422. The second filter section 427 may include a plurality of second filter holes 405. By providing the second filter section 427 on the first sidewall 422, when water flows through the first sidewall 422, the plurality of second filter holes 405 on the second filter section 427 can intercept large particles such as hair and clothing fibers in the water flow.

[0081] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter element 42 may include a second sidewall 423. The second sidewall 423 may be disposed on the side of the filter element 42 opposite to the first sidewall 422 and extend along the length direction of the mounting cavity 401.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first sidewall 422 and the second sidewall 423 may be disposed on opposite sides of the bottom wall 421, and the first sidewall 422 and the second sidewall 423 may be arranged to extend upward from the plane on the side where the bottom wall 421 is located.

[0083] In some embodiments, the filter element 42 may include a third filter section 428. The third filter section 428 may be disposed on the second sidewall 423. The third filter section 428 may include a plurality of third filter holes 406. By providing the third filter section 428 on the second sidewall 423, when water flows through the second sidewall 423, the plurality of third filter holes 406 on the third filter section 428 can intercept large particles such as hair and clothing fibers in the water flow.

[0084] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter element 42 may include a first end wall 424. The first end wall 424 may be disposed at one end of the filter element 42. The first end wall 424 may be connected between one end of the first side wall 422 and the second side wall 423. The bottom of the first end wall 424 may be connected to the bottom wall 421.

[0085] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter element 42 may include a fourth filter section 429. The fourth filter section 429 may be disposed on the first end wall 424. The fourth filter section 429 may include a plurality of fourth filter holes 407. By providing the fourth filter section 429 on the first end wall 424, when water flows through the first end wall 424, the plurality of fourth filter holes 407 on the fourth filter section 429 can intercept large particles such as hair and clothing fibers in the water flow.

[0086] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom wall 421, the first side wall 422, the second side wall 423, and the first end wall 424 can form a filter cavity 408, which is connected to the liquid inlet 402. When water in the clothing processing chamber 202 is discharged through the water outlet 203, the discharged water can enter the filter cavity 408 through the liquid inlet 402. The water in the filter cavity 408 can flow to the drain outlet through the first filter hole 404, the second filter hole 405, the third filter hole 406, and the fourth filter hole 407, respectively, and be discharged through the drain outlet.

[0087] Specifically, by providing a first filter section 426 on the bottom wall 421, a second filter section 427 on the first side wall 422, a third filter section 428 on the second side wall 423, and a fourth filter section 429 on the first end wall 424, when water flows from the outlet 203 of the cylindrical assembly 2 to the drainage filter assembly 4, the water flows through the filter chamber 408 formed by the bottom wall 421, the first side wall 422, the second side wall 423, and the first end wall 424. The filter section 42 can filter the water flow from multiple directions and angles, thus preventing impurities from accumulating in one place after entering the filter chamber 408. It can also more efficiently trap large particles such as hair and clothing fibers in the water flow, achieving highly efficient water filtration. In this way, after the water flow in the cylindrical assembly 2 passes through the filter section 42, impurities such as lint can be trapped in the filter chamber 408 before flowing to the drain outlet and being discharged from the machine, effectively preventing drainage blockage.

[0088] Regarding the cleaning of impurities from the filter element, the space 400 also provides a cleaning outlet for lint wrapped around the first sidewall 422, second sidewall 423, and first endwall 424. Users can sweep the lint from the first sidewall 422, second sidewall 423, and first endwall 424 towards the side where the space 400 is located, and then remove the lint from the suspended end of the first baffle rib for quick and easy cleaning of the filter element. In this way, to achieve a good filtration effect, multiple densely packed filter holes can be provided on each wall surface of the filter element. Users can then quickly clean the lint from the filter element through the space 400, which not only achieves a better filtration effect and reduces the risk of clogging the drain outlet due to poor filtration, but also makes it convenient for users to clean the hair from the filter element.

[0089] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter element 42 may be elongated. The filter element 42 may also include a second end wall 425, which may be disposed at the other end of the filter element 42, that is, the end of the filter element 42 away from the first end wall 424. In this way, the bottom wall 421, the first side wall 422, the second side wall 423, the first end wall 424, and the second end wall 425 can form a filter cavity 408.

[0090] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the second filter section 427 may include a plurality of vertically and parallelly arranged second baffle ribs 4271. The plurality of second baffle ribs 4271 may be arranged at intervals. A second filter hole 405 may be formed between any adjacent second baffle ribs 4271.

[0091] Specifically, the second filter section 427 uses parallel, spaced-apart second baffle ribs 4271 to form second filter holes 405. Hair, clothing fibers, etc., in the water flow can be blocked by the second baffle ribs 4271 when they flow through the bottom wall 421, and the water flows out of the filter chamber 408 through the second filter holes 405. Moreover, the second filter holes 405 formed by the multiple spaced-apart second baffle ribs 4271 in the second filter section 427 are elongated, which makes it easier for users to clean and remove hair, clothing fibers, and other impurities from the filter element 42 compared to existing perforated filter structures.

[0092] In some embodiments, a plurality of second baffle ribs 4271 may be arranged at intervals along the length of the first sidewall 422. By uniformly arranging the second baffle ribs 4271 along the length of the first sidewall 422, the pressure of water flowing through the first sidewall 422 can be dispersed, and the filtration area of ​​the first sidewall 422 can be increased, thereby further improving the filtration effect.

[0093] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the plurality of second baffle ribs 4271 may be distributed only on a portion of the first sidewall 422. Of course, in other embodiments, the plurality of second baffle ribs 4271 may cover the entire first sidewall 422.

[0094] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the third filter section 428 may include a plurality of vertically and parallelly arranged third baffle ribs 4281. The plurality of third baffle ribs 4281 may be arranged at intervals. A third filter hole 406 may be formed between any adjacent third baffle ribs 4281.

[0095] Specifically, the third filter section 428 employs parallel, spaced-apart third baffles 4281 to form third filter holes 406. Hair, clothing fibers, and other debris in the water flow can be blocked by the third baffles 4281 as they pass through the bottom wall 421, while the water flows out of the filter chamber 408 through the third filter holes 406. Moreover, the third filter holes 406 formed by the multiple spaced-apart third baffles 4281 in the third filter section 428 are elongated, which makes it easier for users to clean and remove hair, clothing fibers, and other impurities from the filter element 42 compared to existing perforated filter structures.

[0096] In some embodiments, a plurality of third baffle ribs 4281 may be arranged at intervals along the length of the second sidewall 423. By uniformly arranging the third baffle ribs 4281 along the length of the third sidewall, the pressure of water flowing through the second sidewall 423 can be dispersed, and the filtration area of ​​the second sidewall 423 can be increased, thereby further improving the filtration effect.

[0097] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the plurality of third baffle ribs 4281 may be distributed only on a portion of the second sidewall 423. Of course, in other embodiments, the plurality of third baffle ribs 4281 may cover the entire second sidewall 423.

[0098] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the fourth filter section 429 may include a plurality of vertically and parallelly arranged fourth baffle ribs 4291, the plurality of fourth baffle ribs 4291 being spaced apart, and a fourth filter hole 407 being formed between any adjacent fourth baffle ribs 4291.

[0099] Specifically, the fourth filter section 429 employs vertically spaced fourth baffle ribs 4291 to form fourth filter holes 407. Hair, clothing fibers, and other debris in the water flow can be blocked by the fourth baffle ribs 4291 as they pass through the bottom wall 421, while the water flows out of the filter chamber 408 through the fourth filter holes 407. Moreover, the fourth filter holes 407 formed by the multiple spaced fourth baffle ribs 4291 in the fourth filter section 429 are elongated, which makes it easier for users to clean and remove hair, clothing fibers, and other impurities from the filter element 42 compared to existing perforated filter structures.

[0100] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of fourth baffle ribs 4291 can be arranged at intervals along the planar extension direction of the first end wall 424. The planar extension direction of the first end wall 424 can be understood as the radial cross-sectional direction of the mounting cavity 401. By uniformly arranging the fourth baffle ribs 4291 along the planar extension direction of the first end wall 424, the pressure of the water flowing through the first end wall 424 can be dispersed, and the filtration area of ​​the first end wall 424 can be increased, further improving the filtration effect.

[0101] In some embodiments, the plurality of fourth partition ribs 4291 may cover the entire first end wall 424. Of course, in other embodiments, the plurality of fourth partition ribs 4291 may be distributed only on a portion of the first end wall 424.

[0102] In some embodiments, the first filter section 426, the second filter section 427, the third filter section 428 and the fourth filter section 429 are all arranged with baffles at intervals to form a filter structure, and the baffles form corresponding filter holes, which can not only effectively intercept impurities such as lint and clothing fibers, but also prevent individual filter holes from being blocked due to the accumulation of impurities.

[0103] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the top ends of the first sidewall 422, the second sidewall 423, and the first endwall 424 can be enclosed to form an open opening 4100, and the second filter hole 405, the third filter hole 406, and the fourth filter hole 407 are respectively connected to the open opening 4100.

[0104] In this embodiment, an opening 4100 is formed by enclosing the top ends of the first sidewall 422, the second sidewall 423, and the first endwall 424, and the filter holes on each wall surface are respectively connected to the opening 4100, so that hair and other impurities wrapped around each wall surface can be directly removed through the opening 4100. Specifically, the opening 4100 provides another cleaning outlet for the first sidewall 422, the second sidewall 423, and the first endwall 424, and the user can quickly clean the impurities in the filter chamber 408 by brushing the hair and lint towards the opening 4100 at the top.

[0105] In some embodiments, the spacing width between any adjacent first partition ribs 4261 may be greater than the spacing width between any adjacent second partition ribs 4271.

[0106] In this embodiment, by making the width of the first filter hole 404 greater than the width of the second filter hole 405, filter holes of different sizes are formed on the bottom wall 421 and the first side wall 422. The larger spacing of the first baffle ribs 4261 effectively reduces the pressure of large-particle impurities on the filter element 42, preventing their accumulation and clogging. The smaller spacing of the second baffle ribs 4271 provides filtration space for fine impurities, facilitating the graded filtration of water flow impurities by the filter element 42, resulting in a more refined filtration effect.

[0107] In some embodiments, the spacing between any two adjacent first partition ribs 4261 may be greater than the spacing between any two adjacent third partition ribs 4281.

[0108] Thus, the width of the first filter hole 404 is greater than the width of the third filter hole 406, resulting in filter holes of different sizes being formed on the bottom wall 421 and the second side wall 423. The larger spacing of the first baffle 4261 effectively reduces the pressure of large-particle impurities on the filter element 42, preventing their accumulation and clogging. The smaller spacing of the third baffle 4281 provides filtration space for fine impurities, facilitating the graded filtration of water flow impurities by the filter element 42, resulting in a more refined filtration effect.

[0109] In some embodiments, the spacing between any adjacent second baffle ribs 4271 can be greater than the spacing between any adjacent third baffle ribs 4281. This results in filter holes formed on the oppositely disposed first sidewalls 422 and second sidewalls 423 having different sizes.

[0110] In some embodiments, the sizes of the first filter hole 404, the second filter hole 405, the third filter hole 406, and the fourth filter hole 407 are all different. By providing filter holes of different sizes on multiple surfaces of the filter element 42, the filter element 42 can filter impurities of different particle sizes. For example, the first filter hole 404 can be set to a larger size to filter out larger particles of debris, such as fibers, fabric fragments, etc.; the second filter hole 405 can be set to a smaller size to filter out lint, hair, etc.

[0111] Figure 8 for Figure 4 A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the filter element; Figure 9 for Figure 8 Front view of the filter element; Figure 10 for Figure 8 A cross-sectional view.

[0112] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the upper end of the first sidewall 422 may be inclined toward the side where the second sidewall 423 is located. The plane where the bottom wall 421 is located is the first reference plane. The plane where the first sidewall 422 is located is the second reference plane. The included angle between the first reference plane and the second reference plane may be 45° to 90°. By inclining the first sidewall 422 toward the second sidewall 423, the area of ​​the first sidewall 422 can be increased, and more space can be provided for the first filter section 426 along the first sidewall 422, thereby increasing the effective filtration area of ​​the filter chamber 408 and further improving the filtration effect of the filter element 42 on the water flow.

[0113] It should be noted that the first reference plane can be the plane where the top surface of the bottom wall 421 is located, and the second reference plane can be a side of the first side wall 422 facing the second side wall 423.

[0114] In some embodiments, the angle between the first reference plane and the second reference plane can be greater than 45°. This can avoid the space inside the filter cavity 408 being compressed due to the angle between the first sidewall 422 and the bottom wall 421 being too small, thus avoiding wasting space in the mounting cavity 401 inside the housing 41.

[0115] In some embodiments, the angle between the first reference plane and the second reference plane can be less than 90°. This allows the filter element 42 to better fit the space of the mounting cavity 401 inside the housing 41, and avoids occupying space at the bottom of the garment processing device due to an excessively large angle between the first side wall 422 and the bottom wall 421.

[0116] like Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the upper end of the second sidewall 423 may be inclined toward the side where the first sidewall 422 is located. The plane where the bottom wall 421 is located is the first reference plane, and the plane where the second sidewall 423 is located is the third reference plane. The angle between the second sidewall 423 and the third reference plane may be 45° to 90°. By inclining the second sidewall 423 toward the first sidewall 422, the area of ​​the second sidewall 423 can be increased, and more space can be provided for the second filter section 427 along the second sidewall 423, thereby increasing the effective filtration area of ​​the filter cavity 408.

[0117] It should be noted that, Figure 10 In the cross-sectional view, M1 represents the third reference plane, which is the side of the second sidewall 423 facing the first sidewall 422. M2 represents the first reference plane in the cross-sectional view, which is the plane where the top surface of the bottom wall 421 is located. The angle θ1 between M1 and M2 represents the angle between the first reference plane and the third reference plane.

[0118] In some embodiments, the angle between the second reference plane and the third reference plane can be greater than 45°. This allows the filter element 42 to better match the space of the mounting cavity 401 inside the housing 41, and avoids occupying space at the bottom of the garment processing device due to an excessively large angle between the second side wall 423 and the bottom wall 421.

[0119] In some embodiments, the angle between the second reference plane and the third reference plane may be less than 90°. This allows the filter element 42 to better fit the space of the mounting cavity 401 inside the housing 41, and avoids occupying space at the bottom of the garment processing device due to an excessively large angle between the second side wall 423 and the bottom wall 421.

[0120] In some embodiments, the upper end of the first sidewall 422 may be inclined toward the side where the second sidewall 423 is located, and the upper end of the second sidewall 423 may be inclined toward the side where the first sidewall 422 is located.

[0121] In some other embodiments, the plane containing the first sidewall 422 is a second reference plane, which can be perpendicular to the first reference plane. The plane containing the second sidewall 423 is a third reference plane, which can also be perpendicular to the first reference plane. This optimizes the spatial shape of the filter chamber 408, allowing water to flow more smoothly through each filter section in multiple directions, avoiding dead corners or water stagnation areas within the filter chamber 408, and enhancing the filtration effect.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first end wall 424 may be disposed perpendicular to the plane in which the bottom wall 421 is located.

[0123] like Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of second filter holes 405 and a plurality of third filter holes 406 can be arranged in a staggered manner. By staggering the arrangement of the second filter holes 405 and the third filter holes 406, the path of water flow through the filter chamber 408 to the drain outlet becomes more complex and dispersed, thereby increasing the effective filtration area and allowing impurities such as lint in the water to have more opportunities to be intercepted by the filter holes, further improving the filtration efficiency.

[0124] Figure 11 for Figure 3 The main view; Figure 12 for Figure 11 A cross-sectional view. For example... Figure 11 and 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the inlet 402 may be located on one side wall of the mounting cavity 401. A water outlet 409 may be provided on the first side wall 422. The water outlet 409 may communicate with the filter cavity 408, and the water outlet 409 and the inlet 402 may be arranged opposite each other. Water discharged from the outlet 203 can sequentially pass through the inlet 402 and the water outlet 409 into the filter cavity 408.

[0125] When the water in the clothing processing chamber 202 is discharged through the outlet 203, the discharged water can enter the filter chamber 408 through the liquid inlet 402 and the water outlet 409 in sequence, and then flow to the drain outlet for discharge.

[0126] By setting the liquid inlet 402 of the housing 41 on one side wall of the mounting cavity 401, and the water outlet 409 on the first side wall 422 being arranged opposite to the liquid inlet 402, the water discharged from the outlet 203 can directly and quickly enter the filter cavity 408 through the liquid inlet 402 and the water outlet 409, reducing the detour and stagnation of the water flow and further improving the drainage efficiency.

[0127] Furthermore, by arranging the inlet 402 and outlet 409 facing each other and combining them with the filter element 42 extending along the length of the mounting cavity, the water flow can enter the filter cavity 408 along a straight path after being discharged from the outlet 203, and then flow along the filter cavity 408 set along the length of the housing 41. This can further extend the flow path of the water in the filter cavity 408, which not only improves the drainage efficiency but also helps to enhance the filtration effect.

[0128] like Figure 9 and 12As shown, in some embodiments, the water outlet 409 may be located on the end of the first sidewall 422 away from the first endwall 424. A blocking portion 420 may be provided on the second sidewall 423. The blocking portion 420 and the second filter portion 427 may be arranged adjacent to each other. The blocking portion 420 may be located on the end of the second filter portion 427 away from the first endwall 424. The blocking portion 420 may be arranged directly opposite the water outlet 409.

[0129] Specifically, the housing 41 has an inlet 402 and an outlet 403 at its two transverse ends, and the first end wall 424 is located near the outlet 403. By setting the water inlet 409 on the end of the first side wall 422 away from the first end wall 424, the water can flow fully along the length of the filter element 42 when it enters the filter chamber 408, thereby improving the flow path of the water in the filter chamber 408.

[0130] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, by providing a blocking part 420 on the second sidewall 423, which is adjacent to the second filter part 427, water flow can be prevented from directly impacting the second filter part 427 and flowing away through the third filter hole 406. The blocking part 420 is located on the end of the second filter part 427 away from the first endwall 424 and is arranged directly opposite the water outlet 409. The function of the blocking part 420 is to adjust the flow direction and speed of the water flow, so that the water flow entering the filter chamber 408 from the water outlet 409 can change its flow direction after contacting the blocking part 420, so that the water flow can flow along the second sidewall 423 towards the first endwall 424, thereby distributing more evenly throughout the filter chamber 408, further improving the filtration efficiency and reducing the residue of impurities in the water.

[0131] Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of yet another embodiment of the four filter elements.

[0132] like Figure 13 As shown, in some other embodiments, the top wall of the filter element 42, which is opposite to the bottom wall 421, can be configured as an opening 4100, and the opening 4100 can be configured as a water outlet 409. The liquid inlet 402 of the housing 41 can be located at the top, and the liquid inlet 402 and the water outlet 409 can be arranged facing each other.

[0133] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the drainage filter assembly 4 may include a knob 44. The knob 44 may be located on the end of the filter element 42 away from the first end wall 424. The water outlet 409 may be located on the end of the first side wall 422 near the knob 44. One end of the housing 41 may be provided with a mounting port 410. The mounting port 410 may communicate with the mounting cavity 401. The filter element 42 can be detachably extended into the mounting cavity through the mounting port 410; when the filter element 42 is extended into the mounting cavity, the water outlet 409 and the liquid inlet 402 are arranged opposite each other, and the knob 44 can close the mounting port 410.

[0134] Specifically, the knob 44 can be set on one side of the second end wall 425. The setting of the knob 44 not only makes it convenient for the user to take out or install the filter 42 from the housing 41, but also serves to seal the installation port 410, ensuring the sealing of the drainage filter assembly 4.

[0135] Furthermore, after the knob 44 closes the mounting port 410, the water outlet 409 on the filter element 42 and the liquid inlet 402 on the housing 41 are arranged facing each other. This allows the water in the cylinder assembly 2 to flow unimpeded from the liquid inlet 402 through the water outlet 409 to the filter chamber 408 during the operation of the drainage filter assembly 4. This ensures that the water flow can flow along the length of the filter element 42 through the filter holes, effectively improving the effect of guiding the water flow in the filter chamber 408 and ensuring the fluidity and filtration efficiency of the drainage.

[0136] In some embodiments, one of the inner surface of the mounting port 410 and the peripheral side surface of the knob 44 may have a protrusion (not shown in the figure), and one of the inner surface of the mounting port 410 and the peripheral side surface of the knob 44 may have an adapter groove (not shown in the figure), with the protrusion and the adapter groove fitting together. Thus, the filter element 42 can be installed entirely on the housing 41 by screwing the protrusion into the adapter groove, or the filter element 42 can be removed from the housing 41 by rotating the knob 44 to disengage the protrusion from the adapter groove, making the installation and removal of the filter element 42 simpler.

[0137] Figure 14 for Figure 1 A side view.

[0138] like Figure 2 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment handling device may include a reinforcing member 5. The reinforcing member 5 may be disposed on the side wall of the housing 1. One end of the housing 41, which has a mounting port 410, may be connected to the reinforcing member 5, and the other end of the housing 41 extends downward at an angle.

[0139] The garment processing equipment incorporates a reinforcing component 5, which is mounted on the side wall of the housing 1. The reinforcing component 5 primarily enhances the structural strength of the housing 1, preventing deformation or damage due to water flow impact or prolonged use. This ensures the drainage filter assembly 4 is securely fixed to the housing 1, preventing it from loosening or falling off.

[0140] Furthermore, such as Figure 14 As shown, by arranging the other end of the housing 41 to extend downwards at an angle, the flow of liquid is effectively guided. Specifically, the housing 41 extends downwards at an angle, and the filter element 42 extends downwards along the length of the housing 41, allowing liquid entering the filter chamber 408 to drain downwards at an angle, reducing the possibility of accumulation inside the housing 41. When the user needs to disassemble the filter element 42, even if there is a small amount of residual liquid inside the housing 41, it will flow to the drain outlet due to the angled arrangement, rather than flowing towards the user or other parts of the equipment. This avoids backflow of liquid and affects the user experience, reducing the cleaning work required after disassembling and cleaning the filter element 42.

[0141] like Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the length extension direction of the housing 41 is a reference line, and the plane containing the horizontal plane is the fourth reference plane. The angle between the reference line and the fourth reference plane can be in the range of 2° to 8°.

[0142] It should be noted that, please refer to the appendix. Figure 14 For ease of display, the housing 41 is tilted within the garment processing equipment. Figure 14 The structure of the housing is concealed, and only the internal structure of the garment processing equipment is shown. The axis at the bottom of the housing 41 is used as a reference line; L1 indicates the reference line for the length extension direction of the housing 41; M3 indicates the plane containing the horizontal plane—the fourth reference plane; and the angle θ2 between L1 and M3 indicates the angle between the reference line and the fourth reference plane.

[0143] Specifically, by setting the angle between the reference line extending along the length of the housing 41 and the fourth reference surface to a range of 2° to 8°, the lower end of the housing 41 is tilted downwards. When the filter element 42 is removed, the residual liquid inside the filter element 42 can flow back into the mounting cavity 401 of the housing 41 along the tilted direction, thus avoiding the removal of liquid from the filter element 42 during the removal process and preventing operational inconvenience.

[0144] In some embodiments, the angle between the reference line and the fourth reference plane is greater than 2°. This effectively prevents residual liquid from flowing out of the mounting cavity 401 in the direction of removal when the filter element 42 is removed.

[0145] In some embodiments, the angle between the reference line and the fourth reference plane is less than 8°. This avoids occupying longitudinal space of the garment processing equipment or increasing the height of the garment processing equipment due to an excessively large downward tilt angle of the housing 41.

[0146] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of this application is limited only by the appended claims.
