Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electrical equipment technology, specifically relating to a garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Lint is generated when clothes are washed or dried in garment processing equipment. Lint is distributed throughout the garment processing area by the airflow, affecting the cleanliness of the clothes and the garment processing equipment itself.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical issues, a related technology involves installing filters in the airflow circulation path to filter lint generated during the washing or drying process of clothes in the garment processing equipment. However, after the garment processing equipment has been operating for a period of time, the filters can become clogged with lint, affecting the airflow circulation and consequently impacting the drying effect of the clothes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a garment processing device, which aims to at least partially solve the technical problem that filter elements are clogged by lint, affecting the circulation of the drying airflow and the drying effect.

[0005] A garment processing device includes: a drying module located at the top of the garment processing device; a first cylinder located below the drying module; a second cylinder located below the first cylinder; and an air inlet duct including a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a third connecting portion, wherein the first connecting portion of the air inlet duct is connected to the second cylinder, the second connecting portion of the air inlet duct is connected to the first cylinder, and the third connecting portion of the air inlet duct is connected to the drying module; a filter element located inside the third connecting portion of the air inlet duct, the filter element filtering lint from the airflow; and a spray pipe having spray holes, the spray holes spraying the filter element to clean lint from the filter element, wherein the airflow exits from at least one of the first cylinder and the second cylinder.

[0006] The garment processing device provided in this application has a filter element located in the third connection part of the air outlet duct. Before entering the drying module, the airflow from at least one of the first and second cylinders passes through the filter element to filter out lint. Therefore, lint clogging occurs on the filter element. The spray nozzles of the spray pipe spray the filter element to clean the lint on the filter element, thereby improving the lint clogging phenomenon at least to a certain extent, ensuring smooth airflow circulation, and improving the drying effect. It has good practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] Traditionally, a washing machine is a household appliance used to wash clothes. However, as living standards have improved, consumers' demands for washing machines have increased. Different sizes, types, and materials of clothing require different washing environments. Therefore, twin-tub washing machines have been introduced to the market, allowing a single machine to wash different types of clothing.

[0039] In related technologies, when a garment processing device with a dual-drum and drying function is running, the washing programs executed by the two drums may be inconsistent when both drums are running simultaneously. For example, one drum may be performing a washing program while the other is performing a drying program. This causes the timing of the drying module of the garment processing device providing drying airflow to the two drums to be inconsistent. How to solve the airflow distribution problem of the drying module of the garment processing device is a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0040] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides an airflow distribution device, which aims to solve the airflow distribution of the drying module to at least a certain extent, so as to adapt to the operation of the two drums of the clothing processing equipment.

[0041] The design concept of this application is as follows: By setting an airflow distribution device to connect the drying module and two drums of the garment processing equipment, when both drums are running the drying program, the airflow distribution device is controlled to be in a first working state, so that the drying module is connected to the two drums and the drying airflow generated by the drying module is delivered to the two drums; when one drum is running the drying program, the airflow distribution device is controlled to be in a second working state, so that the drying module is connected to the drum running the drying program and isolated from the other drum, and the drying airflow generated by the drying module is delivered to the drum running the drying program; when neither drum is running the drying program, the airflow distribution device is controlled to be in a third working state, so that the drying module is isolated from the two drums and the drying airflow generated by the drying module is not delivered to the two drums.

[0042] Based on the above design concept, this application provides an airflow distribution device. The airflow distribution device uses a rotatable valve plate to block the air outlet of the valve chamber of the valve body, thereby achieving airflow distribution within the drying module. Now, by way of the attached... Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 The specific details of the airflow distribution device are further described.

[0043] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the airflow distribution device 10 of this application is shown. Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 It shows Figure 1 The diagram shows the state of the airflow distribution device 10 with its valve plate 200 blocking the first air outlet 102 and the first air outlet 103. (Combined with...) Figures 1-3The airflow distribution device 10 includes a valve body 100 and a valve plate 200. The valve body 100 has a communicating air inlet 101, a first air outlet 102, and a first air outlet 103. The valve plate 200 can rotate within the valve body 100 to block at least a portion of the first air outlet 102 or the first air outlet 103. In actual use, depending on the different operating programs of the garment processing equipment's drum, the valve plate 200 is controlled to move within the valve body 100 to block at least a portion of the first air outlet 102 or the first air outlet 103. This allows the opening and closing of the air outlet communicating with the drum to introduce drying airflow into the drum performing the drying program, or to prevent drying airflow from being introduced into the drum not performing the drying program, thus satisfying the airflow distribution of the drying module 20.

[0044] Combination Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 In one embodiment, the air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 103 of the valve body 100 can be arranged opposite each other on the periphery of the valve body 100, and the first air outlet 102 is disposed between the air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 103. The plane containing the air inlet end of the first air outlet 102 is perpendicular to the plane containing the air outlet end of the air inlet 101 and the air inlet end of the first air outlet 103. In another embodiment, the angle between the plane containing the air inlet end of the first air outlet 102 and the plane containing the air outlet end of the air inlet 101 and the air inlet end of the first air outlet 103 can also be an acute angle or an obtuse angle, and this application does not limit this.

[0045] Figure 4 It shows Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of the valve body 100 of the airflow distribution device 10 is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 4According to one embodiment of this application, the valve body 100 includes a mounting portion 104 disposed between two air outlets 103, and a valve plate 200 is rotatably connected to the mounting portion 104. The valve plate 200 can be controlled to rotate to block at least a portion of the first air outlet 102 or the first air outlet 103. For example, the first air outlet 102 of the airflow distribution device 10 is connected to the first cylinder 30, and the first air outlet 103 is connected to the second cylinder 40. When both cylinders are performing the drying program, the control valve plate 200 rotates to the area between the air inlet ends of the first air outlet 102 and the first air outlet 103. The angles between the valve plate 200 and the air inlet ends of the first air outlet 102 and the first air outlet 103 are both acute angles. The first air outlet 102 and the first air outlet 103 of the valve body 100 are both in the open state. At this time, the airflow distribution device 10 is in the first working state, so that the drying module 20 is connected to both the first cylinder 30 and the second cylinder 40. The drying airflow generated by the drying module 20 is delivered to the first cylinder 30 and the second cylinder 40. When one cylinder is performing a drying process (e.g., the first cylinder 30 is not performing a drying process, but the second cylinder 40 is), the control valve plate 200 rotates, causing the valve plate 200 to cover the first air outlet 102 communicating with the first cylinder 30, thus opening the first air outlet 103. This connects the drying module 20 to the second cylinder 40 performing the drying process, while isolating the drying module 20 from the first cylinder 30 which is not being dried. The airflow distribution device 10 is in a second working state, and the drying airflow generated by the drying module 20 is delivered to the second cylinder 40 performing the drying process (e.g., ...). Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 (As shown). When neither the first cylinder 30 nor the second cylinder 40 is executing the drying program, the drying module 20 can be stopped from working. The drying module 20 will not generate a drying airflow, and correspondingly, it will not introduce a drying airflow into the first cylinder 30 and the second cylinder 40.

[0046] According to one embodiment of this application, the airflow distribution device further includes a drive member 300, which includes a base 301 and a motor 302. The base 301 is connected to the valve body 100, and the motor 302 is connected to the side of the base 301 facing away from the valve body 100. The drive shaft of the motor 302 is connected to the valve plate 200 to drive the valve plate 200 to rotate within the valve body 100.

[0047] Based on the same design concept, in a second aspect of this application, this application also provides a garment processing device. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the garment processing equipment of this application is shown. Figure 6 It shows Figure 5 An internal diagram. Combined with... Figure 5 as well as Figure 6The garment processing equipment includes a drying module 20, a first drum 30, a second drum 40, an air outlet duct 80, and the aforementioned airflow distribution device 10. The drying module 20 has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air outlet duct 80 has three ports, which are respectively connected to the drying module 20, the first drum 30, and the second drum 40. The aforementioned airflow distribution device 10 is located in the port where the air outlet duct 80 connects to the drying module 20, so as to distribute the drying airflow generated by the drying module 20 by controlling the rotation of the valve plate 200 of the airflow distribution device 10.

[0048] Combination Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 In one embodiment, the drying module 20 is disposed at the top of the clothing processing equipment. A first cylinder 30 and a second cylinder 40 are arranged vertically, with the first cylinder 30 positioned below the drying module and the second cylinder 40 positioned below the first cylinder 30. The air outlet of the drying module 20 is connected to the air inlet 101 of the airflow distribution device 10. The first air outlet 102 of the airflow distribution device 10 is connected to the first cylinder 30, and the second air outlet is connected to the second cylinder 40. The drying airflow generated by the drying module 20 during operation is distributed by the airflow distribution device 10 and flows into at least one of the first cylinder 30 and the second cylinder 40, which are executing the drying program, to dry the clothing inside the cylinders. In another embodiment, the drying module 20 may also be disposed below the first cylinder 30; alternatively, the two cylinders may be arranged side-by-side horizontally, with the drying module 20 positioned below or above the two cylinders. This application does not impose any limitations on this arrangement.

[0049] Figure 7 It shows Figure 5 Another structural diagram from a different perspective, combined with Figure 7In one embodiment, the garment processing equipment further includes an air inlet duct 50 and another airflow distribution device 10. The air inlet duct 50 includes a first connecting portion 801, a second connecting portion 802, and a third connecting portion 803. The first connecting portion 801 of the air inlet duct 50 is connected to the second cylinder, the second connecting portion 802 of the air inlet duct 50 is connected to the first cylinder, and the third connecting portion 803 of the air inlet duct 50 is connected to the air inlet end of the drying module 20. The other airflow distribution device 10 is disposed within the third connecting portion 803 of the air inlet duct 50, and the air inlet 101 of the other airflow distribution device 10 is... The air inlet of the drying module 20 is connected through the third connecting part 803. The first air outlet 102 of the other air distribution device 10 is connected to the first cylinder 30, and the first air outlet 103 is connected to the second cylinder 40. During the operation of the clothing processing equipment, by controlling the rotation of the valve plate 200 of the other air distribution device 10 in the valve body 100, the first air outlet 102 or the first air outlet 103 on the valve body 100 can be opened or closed. Then, the humid airflow in one of the cylinders that is executing the drying program can flow back to the drying module 20, instead of entering the other cylinder, so that the airflow flows in a predetermined direction.

[0050] In one embodiment, the airflow distribution device 10 connected to the air outlet of the drying module 20 is connected to the front side of the two cylinders respectively, and the airflow distribution device 10 connected to the air inlet of the drying module 20 is connected to the rear side of the two cylinders respectively. That is, the cylinders of the clothing processing equipment have air inlet on the front and air outlet on the rear. In another embodiment, the airflow distribution device 10 connected to the air outlet of the drying module 20 is connected to the rear side of the two cylinders respectively, and the airflow distribution device 10 connected to the air inlet of the drying module 20 is connected to the front side of the two cylinders respectively. That is, the cylinders of the clothing processing equipment have air inlet on the rear and air outlet on the front. This application does not limit this.

[0051] In related technologies, lint is generated when clothes undergo washing or drying processes in garment processing equipment. This lint is distributed throughout the garment processing area along with the flow of humid air, affecting the cleanliness of both the clothes and the equipment itself. After the garment processing equipment has been operating for a period of time, the filter in the air outlet duct 80 connecting the drying module and the drum becomes clogged with lint, affecting the airflow circulation of the garment processing equipment and consequently impacting the drying effect.

[0052] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a lint cleaning device, which aims to at least partially solve the technical problem that the filter element is clogged by lint, affecting the circulation of the drying airflow and the drying effect.

[0053] Combination Figure 7In one embodiment, the lint cleaning device 60 is disposed in the third connection portion 803 of the air outlet duct 80 to clean the airflow entering the drying module 20 and prevent lint from entering the drying module 20 and affecting its operation. Now, by way of the attached... Figure 8 -Appendix Figure 13 Further details of the dander cleaning device 60 are described below.

[0054] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the dander cleaning device 60 provided in this application is shown. Figure 9 It shows Figure 8 An explosion diagram. Figure 10 It shows Figure 9 A schematic diagram of the structure of the spray pipe 500. (Combined with...) Figures 8-10 The lint cleaning device 60 provided in this application is used to clean lint from the humid airflow in a garment processing device. The lint cleaning device 60 includes a filter element 400 and a spray pipe 500. The filter element 400 is located inside the third connection part 803 of the air inlet duct 50 to filter lint introduced into the airflow of the drying module. The spray pipe 500 has spray holes 501. If there is lint clogging on the filter element 400, the spray holes 501 of the spray pipe 500 spray cleaning water onto the filter element 400 to rinse and clean the lint on the filter element 400, thereby at least to a certain extent preventing the filter element from being clogged by lint, ensuring smooth airflow circulation, improving the drying effect, and having good practicality.

[0055] In addition, the filtered airflow is heated by the drying module to produce dry airflow, which is then transported through the air inlet duct 50 to at least one of the first drum 30 and the second drum 40 to dry the clothes in the drum that have undergone the drying process.

[0056] Combination Figure 9 as well as Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this application, a portion of the third connecting part 803 of the air inlet duct 5050 protrudes outward, so that a filter chamber with a large cross-section is formed inside the third connecting part 803 of the air inlet duct 5050. The filter element 400 has a mesh structure and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter chamber to span across the filter chamber, thereby improving the filtration effect on lint and preventing lint from entering the drying module 20 and affecting the normal operation of the drying module 20.

[0057] Combination Figure 10According to one embodiment of this application, the spray pipe 500 is generally cylindrical in shape and rotatably spans the filter chamber. The projection of the spray pipe 500 on the filter element 400 is preferably located in the middle of the filter element 400. The distance between the spray pipe 500 and the filter element 400 and the rotation angle of the spray pipe 500 are set accordingly. During the rotation of the spray pipe 500, the cleaning water sprayed by the spray pipe 500 can radiate to the entire filter element 400, thereby improving the rinsing and cleaning effect on the filter element 400.

[0058] Combination Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this application, a plurality of spray holes 501 are provided, and the plurality of spray holes 501 are spaced apart along the length direction of the spray pipe 500 so that the plurality of spray holes 501 are arranged in a straight line direction parallel to the central axis of the spray pipe 500, so that cleaning water is sprayed from the plurality of spray holes 501, thereby increasing the rinsing intensity of the cleaning water and thus improving the rinsing and cleaning effect of the cleaning water on the lint on the filter element 400.

[0059] Combination Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this application, the lint cleaning device 60 further includes a water limiting part 502, which is mounted above the spray hole 501. In specific implementation, the water limiting part 502 is connected to the periphery of the spray pipe 500. Along the circumference of the spray pipe 500, water limiting parts 502 are provided on both sides of the spray hole 501. The water limiting part 502 can be a plate-shaped structure, integrally formed on the periphery of the spray pipe 500, so as to guide the flow direction of the cleaning water sprayed from the water outlet, increase the rinsing range and intensity of the cleaning water, and improve the rinsing and cleaning effect of the cleaning water on the lint on the filter element 400.

[0060] Combination Figure 10 In one embodiment, a water-limiting section 502 is provided on both sides of each spray hole 501 along the circumference of the spray pipe 500 to guide the flow of cleaning water from the spray hole 501 between the two water-limiting sections 502, thereby increasing the rinsing range and intensity of the spray hole 501. In another embodiment, a single water-limiting section 502 can be provided on both sides of the multiple spray holes 501, that is, the two water-limiting sections 502 guide the flow of cleaning water from the multiple spray holes, thereby increasing the rinsing range and intensity of the multiple spray holes 501.

[0061] Figure 11 It shows Figure 10 A diagram showing the view from below. Figure 12 It shows Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the AA cross section, combined with Figure 11 as well as Figure 12According to one embodiment of this application, the spray pipe 500 has a built-in spray chamber 503, and the spray pipe 500 is provided with a water inlet 504. The water inlet 504 and a plurality of spray holes 501 all flow out of the spray chamber 503. Cleaning water is introduced into the spray chamber 503 from the water inlet 504 of the spray pipe 500 and sprayed from the plurality of spray holes 501.

[0062] Combination Figure 12 Because the spray holes 501 on the spray pipe 500 that are far from the water inlet 504 are relatively weak, their spray range and intensity of cleaning water are also weak. To improve this, along the length of the spray pipe 500, the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the spray cavity 503 decreases as the distance from the water inlet 504 increases. That is, the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the spray cavity 503 decreases in the direction away from the water inlet 504. In other words, by reducing the area of ​​the spray cavity 503, the spray range and intensity of cleaning water from the spray holes 501 are increased. In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the spray cavity 503 decreases sequentially in the direction away from the water inlet 504. In another embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the spray cavity 503 can also be reduced in segments, which can also ensure the spray range and intensity of cleaning water from multiple spray holes 501. This application does not limit this.

[0063] In another embodiment, the range and intensity of the cleaning water spray from the spray holes 501 can be increased by changing the diameter of the spray holes 501. The diameter of the multiple spray holes 501 decreases as the distance from the water inlet 504 increases, that is, the radial direction of the multiple spray holes 501 decreases away from the water inlet 504. In specific implementation, the radial direction of the multiple spray holes 501 away from the water inlet 504 decreases sequentially. In another embodiment, the diameter of the multiple spray holes 501 can also be reduced in segments, which can also ensure the range and intensity of the cleaning water spray from the multiple spray holes 501. This application does not limit this.

[0064] Combination Figure 12 According to one embodiment of this application, the two ends of the spray pipe 500 in the longitudinal direction pass through the side wall of the air inlet pipe 5050, wherein the water inlet 504 is opened at one end of the spray pipe 500 in the longitudinal direction for connecting to a water source.

[0065] Combination Figures 10-12According to one embodiment of this application, the dander cleaning device 60 further includes a water inlet 600, which is rotatably connected to one end of the spray pipe 500 along its length. The water inlet 600 communicates with the water inlet section 504, that is, the third connecting section 803 is connected to the water inlet through the water inlet section of the spray pipe, so as to deliver cleaning water to the spray pipe 500 through the water inlet 600. In a specific implementation, the water inlet 600 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the third connecting section 803 of the air inlet duct 5050. A connecting hole 602 is provided on the inner side of the water inlet 600. One end of the spray pipe 500 along its length passes through the side wall of the air inlet duct 5050 and is rotatably connected to the connecting hole 602 of the water inlet 600, so that the spray pipe 500 can rotate relative to the water inlet 600.

[0066] Combination Figure 12 According to one embodiment of this application, a sealing element 700 is provided between the water inlet 600 and the spray pipe 500 to prevent the clean water delivered by the water inlet 600 from leaking out through the gap between the water inlet 600 and the spray pipe 500. In a specific implementation, the sealing element 700 is disposed in the connecting hole 602 of the water inlet 600. The inner wall of the connecting hole 602 may be stepped. The sealing element 700 is adapted to be disposed between the connecting hole 602 and the spray pipe 500 to improve the sealing effect between the water inlet 600 and the spray pipe 500.

[0067] Combination Figures 10-12 According to one embodiment of this application, a water inlet pipe 601 is connected to the periphery of the water inlet 600. Cleaning water is input into the spray chamber 503 of the spray pipe 500 through the water inlet pipe 601 and the water inlet 600, and is sprayed from the spray section of the spray pipe 500 to clean and wash the lint on the filter element 400.

[0068] Combination Figures 10-12 According to one embodiment of this application, the third connecting part 803 is also connected to the driving member 800 via the connecting shaft 505 of the spray pipe 500, and the driving member 800 drives the spray pipe 500 to rotate via the connecting shaft 505. In a specific implementation, a connecting shaft 505 is provided at the other end of the spray pipe 500 in the longitudinal direction. The connecting shaft 505 passes through the side wall of the pipe connecting the air inlet of the drying module 20 and another airflow distribution device 10, and is connected to the driving member 800 of the lint cleaning device 60. The driving member 800 can be a motor, which drives the spray pipe 500 to rotate.

[0069] According to one embodiment of this application, the spray pipe 500 can be controlled to reciprocate so that the spray holes 501 of the spray pipe 500 are always facing the filter element 400, which can improve the cleaning efficiency of the lint of the filter element 400.

[0070] Figure 13 A partial water circuit diagram of a garment processing device is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 13 The water inlet 600 of the lint cleaning device 60 can be connected to the water inlet valve assembly 70 of the garment processing equipment via a pipeline to introduce cleaning water into the spray pipe 500 of the lint cleaning device 60. Additionally, the cleaning water sprayed through the spray pipe 500, as well as the lint on the cleaned filter element 400, can re-enter the first cylinder 30 or the second cylinder 40 through the airflow distribution device 10 and be discharged from the drain of the first cylinder 30 or the second cylinder 40. That is, by controlling the valve plate of the airflow distribution device 10 to open at least one of the air outlets on the valve body that communicate with the two cylinders, the cleaning water sprayed by the spray pipe 500 and the lint on the filter element 400 pass through the airflow distribution device 10 and enter the corresponding cylinder, and are discharged from the drain of the corresponding cylinder.

[0071] It should be noted that the lint cleaning device 60 provided in this application can operate at the beginning or end of the washing program in the drum, or it can be actively controlled by the user to start. This application does not impose any restrictions on this. Furthermore, the lint cleaning device 60 is also suitable for garment processing equipment with only one drum. In the case of garment processing equipment with only one drum, the aforementioned airflow distribution device 10 can be omitted, and the lint cleaning device 60 can be connected to the pipe connecting the drying module 20 to the drum.

[0072] In summary, the garment processing equipment provided in this application can meet the airflow distribution of the drying module through the airflow distribution device and ensure smooth airflow through the lint cleaning device 60, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the drum and enhancing the user experience, and has good practicality.
