As shown in FIG. 8, Figure 2-4As shown, in some embodiments, the clothes treatment apparatus 100 further comprises a cover 80 disposed at the vent 70, the cover 80 being configured to be controlled to move to open or close the vent 70. Specifically, the movement of the cover 80 can be a translation or a rotation. When the cover 80 is controlled to move, the vent 70 can be opened or closed. When the cover 80 is opened, the gas can flow into or out of the vent 70. When the cover 80 is closed, the cover 80 can prevent the gas from flowing into or out of the vent 70.

[0055] This embodiment can control the opening or closing of the vent 70, and thus the flow of the gas, by controlling the movement of the cover 80. In some embodiments, the cover 80 is controlled to move, e.g., translate. In other embodiments, the cover 80 can be controlled to rotate.

[0056] In addition, the exposure of the vent 70 can affect the appearance of the clothes treatment apparatus 100 and the integrity of the front side, and can easily accumulate dust. When the fresh air is closed, the cover 80 blocks the vent 70, which can improve the appearance of the vent 70 and prevent dust from entering the vent 70.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the cover 80 closes the vent 70, the outer surface of the cover 80 is in the same plane as the control panel 40, the cover 80 has the same size as the detergent box 50 in the horizontal direction, and the lower end surface of the cover 80 is flush with the lower end surface of the control panel 40. Specifically, referring to Figure 3 The cover 80 has the same size as the detergent box 50 in the horizontal direction, so that the cover 80 can completely cover the vent 70 below the detergent box 50. When the cover 80 closes the vent 70, the lower end surface of the cover 80 is flush with the lower end surface of the control panel 40, which can ensure that the vent 70 is closed and improve the overall integrity and appearance of the clothes treatment apparatus 100.

[0058] In some embodiments, the cover 80 can be driven by a linear drive assembly to move away from or close to the vent 70. Specifically, the linear drive assembly can include a motor, a push rod, etc.

[0059] In other embodiments, the cover 80 can be driven by a rotary drive assembly to rotate around the rotation shaft 81 of the drive assembly to open or block the vent 70. This embodiment uses a rotary drive assembly as the drive assembly, which can adjust the folding angle of the cover 80 to drive the selection of different gears of the ventilation range. In addition, the rotary drive assembly has a simple structure and is easy to install.

[0060] In some embodiments, the clothes treatment apparatus 100 further comprises a driving motor and a rotating shaft 81. The rotating shaft 81 is connected with the driving motor and the cover 80 respectively, so as to drive the cover 80 to rotate around the rotating shaft 81 under the driving of the driving motor. Specifically, the driving motor is fixed on the inner wall of the cabinet 20, one end of the rotating shaft 81 is connected with the driving motor, and the other end is connected with the cover 80. In this way, the driving motor can conveniently control the rotation of the cover 80.

[0061] The driving motor drives the rotating shaft 81 to drive the cover 80 to rotate, so as to open or cover the air vent 70, to introduce fresh air into the drum 10 of the clothes treatment apparatus 100, or to discharge the moisture in the drum 10 of the clothes treatment apparatus 100, to provide fresh air or deodorization for clothes.

[0062] In this embodiment, the cover 80 rotates under the driving of the driving motor and the rotating shaft 81, which can reduce the space occupied by the cover 80 during movement, and the air vent 70 does not need to have too much space for the movement of the cover 80, which is beneficial to the size design of the air vent 70.

[0063] In some embodiments, the cover 80 comprises a rotating part 82 and a shielding part 83. The rotating part 82 is connected with the rotating shaft 81. The shielding part 83 is connected with the rotating part 82, so as to open or close the air vent 70 under the driving of the rotating part 82. Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , the cover 80 is substantially L-shaped in cross section, and the rotating part 82 and the shielding part 83 are substantially perpendicular to each other. The shielding part 83 can completely cover the air vent 70, so as to close the air vent 70. The two ends of the rotating part 82 along the extending direction thereof are connected with the rotating shaft 81 respectively, which can improve the stability of the cover 80 during rotation, thereby improving the structural stability of the clothes treatment apparatus 100.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the clothes treatment apparatus 100 needs to open or cover the air vent 70, the cover 80 rotates around the rotating shaft 81. By limiting the position of the rotating shaft 81 and the positional relationship between the cover 80 and the rotating shaft 81, the movement track of the cover 80 can be controlled, so as to avoid that the space required by the movement of the cover 80 is too large, thereby increasing the overall size of the air vent 70, which is beneficial to the installation of the cover 80 on the clothes treatment apparatus 100.

[0065] Figure 5 is a schematic structural view of the fan 61 according to one specific embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the ventilation opening 70 is an air outlet, and the air duct assembly 60 includes a fan 61, an air supply duct 62, and an air outlet duct 63.
