TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a clothes processing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to cope with the limitations of time, weather and other factors, using a clothes dryer to dry clothes has become one of the common choices of people. The clothes dryer can dry clothes in a short time and can also cope with rainy days without relying on sunlight to dry clothes.

[0003] Moreover, the existing clothes dryer is equipped with an atomizer, which generates water mist. In this way, during the drying process of the clothes dryer, water molecules can penetrate into the fibers of the clothes, so that the clothes remain fluffy after drying and the wrinkles of the clothes are removed.

[0004] However, when the existing clothes processing device configures an atomizer to generate water mist, a separate water pump is needed to pump in external water sources to provide water for the atomizer. The overall structure of the clothes processing device is relatively complex, and the energy consumption and cost are relatively high. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The embodiment of the present application discloses a clothes processing device which uses condensed water to provide water for the ultrasonic generator to generate water mist. The overall structure of the clothes processing device is relatively simple, and the energy consumption and cost are relatively low.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, on the one hand, the present application discloses a clothes processing device, comprising:

[0007] a cabinet;

[0008] a drying barrel, which is rotatably arranged in the cabinet;

[0009] a heat pump system, which is arranged in the cabinet;

[0010] a water box, which is arranged in the cabinet and is used to collect the condensed water generated by the heat pump system;

[0011] The water box comprises a water storage box and a condensed water box. The water storage box is detachably arranged at the top of the cabinet, and the condensed water box is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet. The condensed water box is communicated with the water storage box, and is used to collect the condensed water generated by the heat pump system and pump the condensed water to the water storage box.

[0012] The clothes processing device further comprises:

[0013] An ultrasonic generator is arranged in the cabinet, the ultrasonic generator has a water inlet and a water outlet, the water inlet is communicated with the condensate water box, the water outlet is communicated with the condensate water box, the ultrasonic generator is used for receiving the condensate water pumped by the condensate water box through the water inlet, generating water mist in the drying barrel by using the condensate water, and discharging the unused condensate water to the condensate water box through the water outlet.

[0014] The water box further comprises a lower supporting box arranged in the cabinet and located above the ultrasonic generator along the height direction of the cabinet, the lower supporting box is communicated with the condensate water box and the water inlet, and the lower supporting box is used for receiving the condensate water pumped by the condensate water box and discharging the condensate water to the water inlet.

[0015] The condensate water generated by the heat pump system is collected by the condensate water box and pumped to the lower supporting box, the condensate water in the lower supporting box can be discharged to the water inlet of the ultrasonic generator by using the lower supporting box located above the ultrasonic generator along the height direction of the cabinet, so that the ultrasonic generator can generate water mist by using the condensate water, and the clothes dried by the clothes treatment equipment can be fluffy and wrinkle-free.

[0016] In addition, since the amount of condensate water generated by the clothes treatment equipment during operation is much larger than the amount of water required for the ultrasonic generator to generate water mist, when the condensate water generated by the clothes treatment equipment is used as the water source of the ultrasonic generator, the design of receiving the condensate water by the lower supporting box and then discharging the condensate water to the ultrasonic generator can temporarily store part of the condensate water, compared with the way of directly providing the condensate water from the condensate water box to the ultrasonic generator, the speed and amount of condensate water entering the ultrasonic generator can be reduced to match the amount of water required for the ultrasonic generator to generate water mist.

[0017] On the other hand, the application discloses a clothes treatment equipment, comprising:

[0018] a cabinet;

[0019] a drying barrel rotatably arranged in the cabinet;

[0020] a heat pump system arranged in the cabinet;

[0021] a water box arranged in the cabinet, the water box being used for collecting condensate water generated by the heat pump system;

[0022] The water box comprises a water storage box and a condensate water box, the water storage box is detachably arranged at the top of the cabinet, the condensate water box is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet, the condensate water box is communicated with the water storage box, and the condensate water box is used for collecting the condensate water generated by the heat pump system and pumping the condensate water to the water storage box;

[0023] The clothes treatment device further comprises:

[0024] The ultrasonic generator is arranged in the cabinet, the ultrasonic generator has a water inlet and a water outlet, the water inlet is communicated with the condensate water box, the water outlet is communicated with the condensate water box, the ultrasonic generator is used for receiving the condensate water pumped by the condensate water box through the water inlet, generating water mist in the clothes drying barrel by using the condensate water, and discharging the unused condensate water to the condensate water box through the water outlet.

[0026] The condensate water generated by the heat pump system is collected by the condensate water box and pumped to the lower supporting box, and the condensate water in the lower supporting box can be automatically discharged to the water inlet of the ultrasonic generator by using gravity. In this way, the ultrasonic generator can generate water mist by using the condensate water, and the clothes dried by the clothes treatment device can keep fluffy after the water mist enters the clothes drying barrel, so that the clothes can be de-wrinkled. Moreover, the condensate water in the lower supporting box does not need to be discharged to the water inlet of the ultrasonic generator by using a water pump, the overall structure of the clothes treatment device is relatively simple, and the energy consumption and cost are relatively low.

[0027] In addition, since the amount of condensate water generated by the clothes treatment device during operation is much larger than the amount of water required for the ultrasonic generator to generate water mist, when the condensate water is used as the water source of the ultrasonic generator, the design of receiving the condensate water by the lower supporting box and then discharging the condensate water to the ultrasonic generator can temporarily store part of the condensate water. Compared with the mode of directly providing the condensate water from the condensate water box to the ultrasonic generator, the speed and amount of condensate water entering the ultrasonic generator can be reduced to match the amount of water required for the ultrasonic generator to generate water mist.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the clothes treatment device further comprises a functional device arranged between the lower supporting box and the water inlet, and the functional device comprises one or more of a sterilization component, a clothes care component and a filter component.

[0029] The sterilization assembly is configured to add sterilization components to the condensed water discharged from the lower tray to the water inlet, the clothes care assembly is configured to add clothes care components to the condensed water discharged from the lower tray to the water inlet, and the filtering assembly is configured to filter the condensed water discharged from the lower tray to the water inlet.

[0030] The condensed water discharged from the lower tray to the water inlet is processed by the functional device, so that the ultrasonic generator can generate water mist by using the processed condensed water. Moreover, by providing a plurality of different functional devices, selection can be made according to actual conditions to meet different use requirements. For example, the sterilization assembly is used to add sterilization components to the condensed water, so that the water mist generated by the condensed water under the action of the ultrasonic generator has sterilization function; the clothes care assembly is used to add clothes care components to the condensed water, so that the water mist generated by the condensed water under the action of the ultrasonic generator has clothes care function; the filtering assembly is used to filter the condensed water, which can avoid the situation that lint and other impurities enter the ultrasonic generator along with the condensed water to affect the operation of the ultrasonic generator, thereby prolonging the service life of the ultrasonic generator.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the ultrasonic generator comprises:

[0032] A shell is arranged in the cabinet, and the shell has a spray port, the water inlet and the water outlet, and the spray port is arranged towards the drying barrel;

[0033] A vibration piece is arranged in the shell and located at the spray port, and the vibration piece is used to generate vibration to convert the condensed water into water mist and spray the water mist out of the spray port.

[0034] The condensed water is received by the water inlet, and after the condensed water enters the shell, the condensed water can generate spray under the action of the vibration piece and be sprayed out of the spray port to the drying barrel, and the unused condensed water can be discharged out of the shell from the water outlet.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the clothes treatment device further comprises an electric control box arranged in the cabinet, and a circuit board is arranged in the electric control box, and the circuit board is electrically connected to the vibration piece by wires.

[0036] The circuit board is arranged in the electric control box, which can provide installation space for the circuit board, and the circuit board is electrically connected to the vibration piece, so that the circuit board can control the vibration piece.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the ultrasonic generator further comprises a water absorbing component arranged in the shell, and the water absorbing component is used to absorb the condensed water.

[0038] The condensed water is absorbed by the water absorption component, so that sufficient water can be kept in the shell for atomization.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the ultrasonic generator further comprises a water level detection component arranged in the shell.

[0040] The water level detection component detects the amount of condensed water in the shell, so that the ultrasonic generator can work when there is sufficient condensed water.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the lower box is provided with a water blocking part, a first space on one side of the water blocking part of the lower box is used to receive the condensed water pumped by the condensed water box, and the condensed water flows to a second space on the other side of the water blocking part of the lower box, the lower box is provided with a water outlet pipe communicating with the second space, and the water outlet pipe communicates with the water inlet to discharge the condensed water to the water inlet.

[0042] The water blocking part hinders the condensed water, slows down the speed of the condensed water received by the first space flowing to the second space, reduces the speed of the condensed water discharged from the water outlet pipe, and makes the condensed water pass through the ultrasonic generator for atomization as much as possible, so that the utilization rate of the condensed water is high.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the lower box is provided with a water outlet pipe, and the water outlet pipe communicates with the water inlet to discharge the condensed water received by the lower box to the water inlet.

[0044] The inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe close to the lower box is greater than the inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe close to the water inlet.

[0045] The inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe close to the lower box is greater than the inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe close to the water inlet, the water outlet pipe is roughly trumpet-shaped, and the inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe communicating with the inside of the lower box is larger, which can avoid the formation of water droplets due to tension at this position and cause blockage, slow down the flow of condensed water from the water outlet pipe to the water inlet, and effectively ensure that sufficient condensed water enters the shell through the water inlet for use by the ultrasonic generator.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, the water box further comprises:

[0048] The three-way structure is arranged on the cover body, and the three-way structure is used to communicate the condensed water box, the water storage box and the lower box, so that the condensed water pumped by the condensed water box can be distributed to the water storage box and the lower box.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, the condensed water generated by the heat pump system is collected by the condensed water box and pumped to the lower supporting box. The lower supporting box is located above the ultrasonic generator in the height direction of the cabinet, and the condensed water in the lower supporting box can be discharged to the water inlet of the ultrasonic generator. In this way, the ultrasonic generator can generate water mist using the condensed water, and the water mist enters the clothes drying barrel, so that the clothes dried by the clothes treatment equipment can be kept fluffy, and the clothes can be de-wrinkled. Moreover, the condensed water in the lower supporting box does not need to be discharged to the water inlet of the ultrasonic generator by means of a water pump, and the overall structure of the clothes treatment equipment is relatively simple, and the energy consumption and cost are relatively low.

[0051] In addition, since the amount of condensed water generated by the clothes treatment equipment during operation is much larger than the amount of water required for the ultrasonic generator to generate water mist, when the condensed water in the condensed water box is used as the water source of the ultrasonic generator, the design of receiving the condensed water by the lower supporting box and then discharging it to the ultrasonic generator can temporarily store part of the condensed water. Compared with the way of directly providing the condensed water from the condensed water box to the ultrasonic generator, the speed and amount of condensed water entering the ultrasonic generator can be reduced to match the amount of water required for the ultrasonic generator to generate water mist.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application.

[0090] Before the technical solutions of the present application are explained, the inventive concept of the present application will be explained.

[0091] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a clothes processing apparatus 1000 provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 is an exploded structural schematic diagram of a clothes processing apparatus 1000 provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 is a principle schematic diagram of a clothes processing apparatus 1000 provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0092] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , generally, during the process that the drying tub 200 of the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 rotates relative to the cabinet 100 to drive the clothes to be flung, the heat pump system (not shown) can work simultaneously to transfer the heat energy in the air to the clothes, which is conducive to realizing the rapid drying of the clothes, so as to dry the clothes. The condensed water generated when the heat pump system works can be collected into the condensed water box 31 at the bottom of the cabinet 100, and the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 pumps the condensed water in the condensed water box 31 to the water storage box 30 at the top of the cabinet 100 by using a water pump. By designing the water storage box 30 to be detachable relative to the cabinet 100, the user can detach the water storage box 30 from the cabinet 100 and pour out the condensed water in the water storage box 30.

[0093] In order to avoid wrinkles on the clothes after drying, the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 is usually configured with an ultrasonic generator 400 to generate water mist and spray it into the drying tub 200. In this way, during the process of drying the clothes, the water molecules can penetrate into the fibers of the clothes, so that the clothes remain fluffy after drying, thereby removing wrinkles from the clothes.

[0094] Since the ultrasonic generator 400 needs to be provided with a water source when generating water mist, if an external water source is connected, an additional pipeline needs to be designed for the ultrasonic generator 400. If the condensed water in the condensed water box 31 is used as the water source of the ultrasonic generator 400, an additional water pump is needed to pump the condensed water in the condensed water box 31 to the ultrasonic generator 400, or an additional water pump is needed to pump the condensed water in the water storage box 30 to the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0095] In summary, the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 in the related art has the problems of complex overall structure, high energy consumption and cost when configuring the ultrasonic generator 400 to generate water mist, especially when connecting an external water source to the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0096] The technical solutions in some embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in some embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 includes a cabinet 100.

[0098] For example, the housing 100 can adopt a hollow shell structure or a frame structure, and the external shape of the housing 100 can be designed as needed. The housing 100 can provide assembly positions and housing space for the dryer 200, heat pump system, etc.

[0099] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device 1000 further includes a drying drum 200, which is rotatably disposed within the housing 100.

[0100] For example, the drying drum 200 can hold clothes, and by rotating the drying drum 200 relative to the casing 100, the clothes can be tumbled and processed.

[0101] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 1000 further includes a heat pump system disposed within the housing 100.

[0102] For example, a heat pump system includes a compressor, condenser, evaporator, etc. Based on the reverse Carnot cycle, a heat pump system uses heat pump technology to transfer heat from the air to a drying chamber, thereby achieving the drying of clothing.

[0103] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 1000 further includes a water tank (not shown), which is disposed in the housing 100 and is used to collect condensate generated by the heat pump system.

[0104] The condensate generated by the heat pump system is collected by a water box. The condensate is effectively collected and discharged, which avoids the increase of humidity inside the casing 100, thereby improving the drying efficiency and drying effect of the clothing processing equipment 1000.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the water box includes a water container 30, which is detachably mounted on the top of the housing 100.

[0106] By setting up a water collection box 30, when the water collection box 30 contains condensate, the user can remove the water collection box 30 from the casing 100 and pour out the condensate inside the water collection box 30, thus making it convenient for the user to clean it regularly.

[0107] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the water tank package also includes a condensate tank 31, which is located at the bottom of the housing 100. The condensate tank 31 is connected to the water collection tank 30 and is used to collect the condensate generated by the heat pump system and pump the condensate to the water collection tank 30.

[0108] In this way, the condensate generated by the heat pump system is collected through the condensate box 31. The condensate is effectively collected, which avoids the increase of humidity inside the casing 100, thereby improving the drying efficiency and drying effect of the clothing processing equipment 1000.

[0109] The condensed water collected in the condensed water box 31 is pumped to the water storage box 30 by the water pump, and the condensed water can be effectively discharged by the water storage box 30, and the humidity in the cabinet 100 is also avoided from increasing, thereby improving the drying efficiency and drying effect of the clothes treatment apparatus 1000.

[0110] In some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 further includes a water storage box 30. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 further includes an ultrasonic generator 400 provided in the cabinet 100.

[0111] The ultrasonic generator 400 is configured to generate water mist by ultrasonic atomization, and the water mist is generated by high-frequency resonance of a ceramic atomizing sheet, without heating or adding any chemical reagent.

[0112] The water mist is generated by the ultrasonic generator 400 and sprayed into the drying drum 200, so that the water molecules can penetrate into the fibers of the clothes during the drying process of the clothes, so that the clothes can be kept fluffy after drying, thereby removing wrinkles of the clothes.

[0113] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 has a water inlet 400a connected to the condensed water box 31. The ultrasonic generator 400 is configured to receive the condensed water pumped from the condensed water box 31 through the water inlet 400a, and generate water mist in the drying drum 200 by using the condensed water.

[0114] The condensed water pumped from the condensed water box 31 is received through the water inlet 400a, and the condensed water can be used by the ultrasonic generator 400 when entering the ultrasonic generator 400, thereby generating water mist in the drying drum 200.

[0115] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 has a water outlet 400b connected to the condensed water box 31, and the ultrasonic generator 400 is configured to discharge the unused condensed water to the condensed water box 31 through the water outlet 400b.

[0116] In this way, the ultrasonic generator 400 discharges the unused condensed water to the condensed water box 31 through the water outlet 400b, so that the unused condensed water can be avoided from remaining in the ultrasonic generator 400 for a certain period of time, thereby avoiding the situation that the unused condensed water smells.

[0117] And, the condensed water from the water inlet 400a enters the ultrasonic generator 400, and the non-atomized part is discharged from the water outlet 400b. The ultrasonic generator 400 can be designed without a cavity to store the condensed water, thereby saving the cavity to reduce the overall volume of the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0118] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 The water box further includes a lower supporting box 32, which is arranged on the cabinet 100 and located above the ultrasonic generator 400 along the height direction x of the cabinet 100. The lower supporting box 32 is connected to the condensed water box 31 and the water inlet 400a, and is used to receive the condensed water pumped by the condensed water box 31 and discharge the condensed water to the water inlet 400a.

[0119] The condensed water generated by the heat pump system is collected by the condensed water box 31 and pumped to the lower supporting box 32. By arranging the lower supporting box 32 above the ultrasonic generator 400 along the height direction x of the cabinet 100, the condensed water in the lower supporting box 32 can be discharged to the water inlet 400a of the ultrasonic generator 400. In this way, the ultrasonic generator 400 can generate water mist using the condensed water, and the water mist can enter the drying barrel 200, so that the clothes dried by the clothes treatment equipment 1000 can be kept fluffy, thereby achieving the wrinkle removal of the clothes. Moreover, the condensed water in the lower supporting box 32 can be discharged to the water inlet 400a of the ultrasonic generator 400 without the help of a water pump, which simplifies the overall structure of the clothes treatment equipment 1000 and reduces the energy consumption and cost of the clothes treatment equipment 1000.

[0120] In some embodiments, the lower supporting box 32 is arranged on the cabinet 100 and connected to the condensed water box 31 and the water inlet 400a. The lower supporting box 32 is used to receive the condensed water pumped by the condensed water box 31 and automatically discharge the condensed water to the water inlet 400a by gravity.

[0121] The condensed water generated by the heat pump system is collected by the condensed water box 31 and pumped to the lower supporting box 32. By arranging the lower supporting box 32 above the ultrasonic generator 400 along the height direction x of the cabinet 100, the condensed water in the lower supporting box 32 can be discharged to the water inlet 400a of the ultrasonic generator 400. In this way, the ultrasonic generator 400 can generate water mist using the condensed water, and the water mist can enter the drying barrel 200, so that the clothes dried by the clothes treatment equipment 1000 can be kept fluffy, thereby achieving the wrinkle removal of the clothes. Moreover, the condensed water in the lower supporting box 32 can be discharged to the water inlet 400a of the ultrasonic generator 400 without the help of a water pump, which simplifies the overall structure of the clothes treatment equipment 1000 and reduces the energy consumption and cost of the clothes treatment equipment 1000.

[0122] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 further comprises a functional device 500, which is arranged between the lower holding box 32 and the water inlet 400a, and is used to treat the condensed water discharged from the lower holding box 32 to the water inlet 400a.

[0123] By treating the condensed water discharged from the lower holding box 32 to the water inlet 400a by the functional device 500, the ultrasonic generator 400 can generate water mist by using the treated condensed water.

[0124] In some embodiments, the functional device 500 comprises a sterilization component, which is used to add sterilization ingredients to the condensed water discharged from the lower holding box 32 to the water inlet 400a.

[0125] For example, the sterilization component can contain hydrogen peroxide, anions and other ingredients. In this way, after the condensed water treated by the sterilization component is discharged to the water inlet 400a, the water mist generated by the ultrasonic generator 400 has sterilization function and can sterilize the clothes in the drying barrel 200.

[0126] In some embodiments, the functional device 500 comprises a clothes care component, which is used to add clothes care ingredients to the condensed water discharged from the lower holding box 32 to the water inlet 400a.

[0127] For example, the clothes care component can contain aromatherapy liquid, care liquid and other ingredients. In this way, after the condensed water treated by the clothes care component is discharged to the water inlet 400a, the water mist generated by the ultrasonic generator 400 has clothes care function and can care the clothes in the drying barrel 200.

[0128] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9 The clothes care component is used to filter the condensed water discharged from the lower holding box 32 to the water inlet 400a.

[0129] For example, the filter component can include filter screens, filter cotton and the like. In this way, after the condensed water treated by the filter component is discharged to the water inlet 400a, it can avoid the situation that lint and other impurities follow the condensed water into the ultrasonic generator 400 and affect the operation of the ultrasonic generator 400, thereby prolonging the service life of the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0130] By providing a plurality of different functional devices, the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 can select appropriate functional devices according to actual conditions to meet different use requirements.

[0131] In some embodiments, referring again to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cabinet 100 comprises a box body 10, which is provided with a dropping opening 10a.

[0132] By providing the drop opening 10a on the cabinet 10, clothes can be dropped into the drying drum 200 in the cabinet 10 from the drop opening 10a.

[0133] In some embodiments, the machine housing 100 further comprises a cabinet door (not shown). The cabinet door is movably connected to the cabinet 10, and the cabinet door can be moved relative to the cabinet 10 to open or close the drop opening 10a.

[0134] By movably connecting the cabinet door to the cabinet 10, when the cabinet door is moved relative to the cabinet 10 to open the drop opening 10a, clothes can be dropped into the drying drum 200 in the cabinet 10 from the drop opening 10a, or clothes in the drying drum 200 can be taken out from the drop opening 10a. When the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 is running, the cabinet door can close the drop opening 10a to ensure that the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 can run reliably.

[0135] In some embodiments, the machine housing 100 further comprises a support 11, which is arranged in the cabinet 10 and located between the drying drum 200 and the drop opening 10a. The support 11 has an opening 11a that communicates the drying drum 200 and the drop opening 10a.

[0136] By providing the support 11 in the cabinet 10, on the one hand, the support 11 can be used to mount the water box and the ultrasonic generator 400. On the other hand, by communicating the drying drum 200 and the drop opening 10a through the opening 11a of the support 11, the support 11 can avoid the clothes, so that the clothes can smoothly enter the drying drum 200 from the drop opening 10a, and the clothes in the drying drum 200 can be taken out from the drop opening 10a.

[0137] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 is arranged on the support 11.

[0138] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 is arranged on the side of the cabinet door facing the drying drum 200.

[0139] By providing multiple different arrangement positions for the ultrasonic generator 400, the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 can select the arrangement position of the ultrasonic generator 400 according to the actual situation, so that the ultrasonic generator 400 is arranged on the support 11 or the cabinet door.

[0140] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 The ultrasonic generator 400 has a spray opening 400c for spraying water mist.

[0141] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 is arranged on the side of the support 11 facing the drying drum 200, and the spray opening 400c is arranged towards the drying drum 200.

[0142] By placing the ultrasonic generator 400 on the side of the support 11 facing the drying drum 200, the spray nozzle 400c can spray water mist toward the drying drum 200, thereby simplifying the structure of the clothing processing equipment 1000 and improving the compactness of the structure of the clothing processing equipment 1000.

[0143] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the ultrasonic generator 400 is located on the side of the support member 11 away from the dryer tub 200. The support member 11 is provided with a through hole 11b, which passes through the two opposite sides of the support member 11 to connect the spray nozzle 400c and the dryer tub 200.

[0144] By placing the ultrasonic generator 400 on the side of the support 11 away from the drying tub 200, interference between the drying tub 200 and the ultrasonic generator 400 can be avoided when the drying tub 200 rotates relative to the housing 10. Furthermore, the through hole 11b connects the spray nozzle 400c and the drying tub 200, ensuring that the water mist sprayed from the spray nozzle 400c can smoothly reach the drying tub 200.

[0145] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 is provided with a first seal (not shown), which is disposed around the spray nozzle 400c, and the side of the first seal opposite to the ultrasonic generator 400 abuts against the side of the support member 11 opposite to the dryer tub 200.

[0146] By surrounding the spray nozzle 400c and pressing the first seal between the ultrasonic generator 400 and the support member 11, the first seal can seal the connection between the spray nozzle 400c and the through hole 11b while the spray nozzle 400c and the through hole 11b are connected, thus achieving waterproofing.

[0147] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the ultrasonic generator 400 also includes a housing 40, which is disposed in the housing 100. The housing 40 has a spray nozzle 400c, a water inlet 400a and a water outlet 400b. The spray nozzle 400c is disposed facing the inside of the dryer 200.

[0148] In this way, the ultrasonic generator 400 receives condensate through the inlet 400a. After the condensate enters the housing 40, the water mist generated by the ultrasonic generator 400 can be sprayed out from the spray nozzle 400c, while the unused condensate can be discharged from the housing 40 through the outlet 400b.

[0149] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 further includes a vibrating plate 41 disposed within the housing 40 and located at the spray nozzle 400c. The vibrating plate 41 is used to generate vibration to convert condensed water into water mist and spray it out from the spray nozzle 400c.

[0150] By setting a vibrating plate 41 at the spray nozzle 400c, the condensate entering the housing 40 can be sprayed out from the spray nozzle 400c to the dryer 200 under the action of the vibrating plate 41.

[0151] In some embodiments, the inlet 400a and the outlet 400b are located on different sides of the housing 40.

[0152] For example, the inlet 400a is located on the side of the housing 40 near the lower tray 32, while the outlet 400b is located on the side of the housing 40 near the condensate box 31.

[0153] By placing the inlet 400a and outlet 400b on different sides of the housing 40, the garment handling device 1000 can be configured to adjust their positions according to actual needs. This shortens the length of the pipe connecting the inlet 400a and the lower tray 32, and reduces the degree of bending required in the pipe. Furthermore, it also shortens the length of the pipe connecting the outlet 400b and the condensate box 31, and reduces the degree of bending required in the pipe.

[0154] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the housing 40 is provided with a partition 40a, which is used to divide the interior of the housing 40 into a first cavity 40b and a second cavity 40c that are connected. The inlet 400a is connected to the first cavity 40b, and the outlet 400b is connected to the second cavity 40c.

[0155] The housing 40 is divided into a first cavity 40b and a second cavity 40c by the partition 40a. This allows the condensate entering the first cavity 40b through the inlet 400a to be obstructed by the partition 40a, thus enabling the condensate to flow slowly from the first cavity 40b to the second cavity 40c and then be discharged from the outlet 400b. In other words, the speed at which the condensate is discharged from the outlet 400b is reduced, allowing as much condensate as possible to be atomized by the ultrasonic generator 400, thereby improving the utilization rate of the condensate.

[0156] In some embodiments, the diameter of the inlet 400a is larger than the diameter of the outlet 400b.

[0157] For example, the inlet 400a and the outlet 400b are circular. The diameter of the inlet 400a is the same as the diameter of the circular inlet 400a, and the diameter of the outlet 400b is the same as the diameter of the circular outlet 400b.

[0158] By setting the caliber of the water inlet 400a to be larger than the caliber of the water outlet 400b, the flow rate of the condensed water entering the shell 40 from the water inlet 400a is larger, while the flow rate of the condensed water exiting the shell 40 from the water outlet 400b is smaller during the operation of the ultrasonic generator 400. In this way, a portion of the condensed water can be always stored in the shell 40 for atomization, so as to generate the water mist.

[0159] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 the shell 40 comprises a bottom shell 401, and the bottom shell 401 is provided with the water inlet 400a and the water outlet 400b.

[0160] In some embodiments, the shell 40 further comprises a top cover 402, and the top cover 402 is connected to the bottom shell 401 in a covering manner, and the top cover 402 is provided with the spray opening 400c.

[0161] For example, the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402 can be detachably connected, so as to facilitate assembly and disassembly, and reduce the difficulty of maintenance of the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0162] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 further comprises a second sealing member 60, and the second sealing member 60 is compressed between the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402.

[0163] By compressing the second sealing member 60 between the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402, waterproof sealing of the connection between the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402 can be achieved.

[0164] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14 the bottom shell 401 is provided with a first positioning portion (not shown), and the top cover 402 is provided with a second positioning portion 402a, and the second positioning portion 402a is used for cooperating with the first positioning portion to position the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402.

[0165] By cooperating the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion 402a to position the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402, the assembly difficulty of the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402 can be reduced, so as to improve the assembly efficiency of the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402.

[0166] In some embodiments, one of the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion 402a is a recessed portion, and the other is a protruding portion.

[0167] By cooperating the recessed portion and the protruding portion to assemble the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402, the structure of the shell 40 is simplified, and the design difficulty of the shell 40 is reduced.

[0168] In some embodiments, the clothes treating apparatus 1000 further comprises an electric control box 70 which is arranged in the cabinet 100. The electric control box 70 is provided with a circuit board 71 which is electrically connected to the vibration piece 41 through a wire.

[0169] By arranging the circuit board 71 in the electric control box 70, the electric control box 70 can provide installation space for the circuit board 71, and by electrically connecting the circuit board 71 and the vibration piece 41, the circuit board 71 can control the vibration piece 41.

[0170] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 12 , the electric control box 70 is provided with a receiving groove 70a in which the circuit board 71 is arranged, and the receiving groove 70a is filled with an adhesive. For example, the adhesive can be glue.

[0171] By arranging the circuit board 71 in the receiving groove 70a, the space occupied by the circuit board 71 can be reduced. Moreover, by filling the receiving groove 70a with the adhesive and using the adhesive to fix the circuit board 71, the circuit board 71 can be sealed with glue to achieve waterproofing.

[0172] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14 , the housing 40 is further provided with a wire groove 40d, one end of the wire is electrically connected to the circuit board 71, and the other end of the wire extends into the housing 40 to be arranged in the wire groove 40d and electrically connected to the vibration piece 41.

[0173] By extending the other end of the wire into the housing 40 and arranging the wire in the wire groove 40d to position the wire, the connection between the wire and the vibration piece 41 can be avoided from being affected by the vibration of the vibration piece 41, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the wire and the vibration piece 41.

[0174] In some embodiments, the electric control box 70 and the housing 40 are integrally formed.

[0175] By adopting the design of integral forming, the electric control box 70 and the housing 40 are formed as a whole, so that the wire connection between the circuit board 71 of the electric control box 70 and the vibration piece 41 in the housing 40 can be performed first, and then the electric control box 70 and the housing 40 are integrally installed to the cabinet 100, thereby facilitating the reduction of assembly difficulty.

[0176] In some embodiments, the side of the housing 40 away from the electric control box 70 is provided with a first connecting portion 403 which is detachably connected to the cabinet 100. The side of the electric control box 70 away from the housing 40 is provided with a second connecting portion 701 which is detachably connected to the cabinet 100.

[0177] By placing the first connecting portion 403 on the side of the housing 40 away from the electrical control box 70, and the second connecting portion 701 on the side of the electrical control box 70 away from the housing 40, the first connecting portion 403 and the second connecting portion 701 are located on opposite sides of the housing 40 and the electrical control box 70 as a whole. In this way, when the housing 40 and the electrical control box 70 are connected to the casing 100, the force is more evenly distributed, avoiding stress concentration that could damage the housing 40 or the electrical control box 70.

[0178] For example, the detachable connection between the first connecting part 403, the second connecting part 701 and the housing 100 can be a snap-fit ​​connection, a bolt connection, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0179] In some embodiments, the control box 70 and the housing 40 are spaced apart, a third connecting part 404 is provided between the control box 70 and the housing 40, and the control box 70, the third connecting part 404 and the housing 40 are integrally formed. The third connecting part 404 is detachably connected to the housing 100.

[0180] By spacing the control box 70 and the housing 40 apart, the distance between the housing 40 and the circuit board 71 can be increased, thereby preventing condensate from the housing 40 from accidentally seeping into the circuit board 71 and causing a short circuit in the circuit board 71. Furthermore, by connecting the third connecting part 404 to the housing 100, the assembly strength between the control box 70 and the housing 40 as a whole and the housing 100 can be increased.

[0181] For example, the detachable connection between the third connecting part 404 and the housing 100 can be a snap-fit ​​connection, a bolt connection, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0182] In some embodiments, the control box 70 has a first surface 70b, which is disposed opposite to the bottom surface of the receiving groove 70a. The housing 40 has a second surface 40e, which abuts against the housing 100 and is disposed parallel to the first surface 70b.

[0183] By setting the first surface 70b and the second surface 40e to be parallel, it is convenient to assemble the housing 40 and the electrical control box 70 into the housing 100 as a whole. Furthermore, when filling the receiving groove 70a of the electrical control box 70 with adhesive using a dispensing device, the housing 40 and the electrical control box 70 can be laid flat as a whole for horizontal dispensing.

[0184] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 further includes a water-absorbing component 42 disposed inside the housing 40, which is used to absorb condensate.

[0185] By absorbing condensate through the water-absorbing component 42, sufficient moisture can be continuously maintained inside the housing 40 for atomization.

[0186] For example, the water absorption component 42 can be water absorption cotton, and can adopt a cylindrical shape, a block shape, etc., which can be selected according to actual conditions. By using water absorption cotton, a filtering effect can be achieved, so as to avoid that hair and other sundries block the micropores of the vibrating reed 41, thereby improving the atomization effect of the ultrasonic generator 400 and prolonging the service life of the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0187] In some embodiments, the projection of the water absorption component 42 in the shell 40 is arranged to overlap the projection of the vibrating reed 41 in the shell 40.

[0188] By arranging the projection of the water absorption component 42 in the shell 40 to overlap the projection of the vibrating reed 41 in the shell 40, the water absorption component 42 can be aligned with the vibrating reed 41 as much as possible, which is beneficial to shorten the distance from the condensed water absorbed by the water absorption component 42 to the vibrating reed 41, so that the vibrating reed 41 can more efficiently utilize the condensed water absorbed by the water absorption component 42.

[0189] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the shell 40 further comprises a mounting groove 40f, and the water absorption component 42 is arranged in the mounting groove 40f. Figure 15

[0190] By arranging the water absorption component 42 in the mounting groove 40f, the water absorption component 42 can be positioned, so as to prevent the water absorption component 42 from being deviated due to the vibration generated when the ultrasonic generator 400 is running.

[0191] In some embodiments, the depth of the mounting groove 40f is h, and h>1 mm.

[0192] It should be noted that if the depth h of the mounting groove 40f is ≤1 mm, the size of the water absorption component 42 accommodated in the mounting groove 40f is small, so that the contact area between the water absorption component 42 and the mounting groove 40f is small, and the positioning stability is poor. Therefore, the depth h of the mounting groove 40f can be h>1 mm, so that the size of the water absorption component 42 accommodated in the mounting groove 40f is large, the contact area between the water absorption component 42 and the mounting groove 40f is large, and the positioning stability is better.

[0193] For example, the depth h of the mounting groove 40f can be 1.1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.9 mm, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0194] In some embodiments, the depth of the mounting groove 40f is h, and h<3 mm.

[0195] ​It should be noted that if the depth h of the mounting groove 40f is greater than or equal to 3 mm, the size of the water absorption component 42 accommodated in the mounting groove 40f is large, the contact area between the water absorption component 42 and the mounting groove 40f is large, and the connection strength between the water absorption component 42 and the mounting groove 40f is high, which may cause the water absorption component 42 to be difficult to disassemble and replace. Therefore, the depth h of the mounting groove 40f can be less than 3 mm, so that the size of the water absorption component 42 accommodated in the mounting groove 40f is small, the contact area between the water absorption component 42 and the mounting groove 40f is small, and the connection strength between the water absorption component 42 and the mounting groove 40f is low, so that the water absorption component 42 is easy to disassemble and replace.

[0196] For example, the depth h of the mounting groove 40f can be 2.9 mm, 2.5 mm, 2 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.1 mm, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0197] In some embodiments, the housing 40 is also provided with a protruding structure 405, which is configured in an annular shape to form the mounting groove 40f.

[0198] By configuring the protruding structure 405 in an annular shape to form the mounting groove 40f, the forming method of the mounting groove 40f is simplified, and the design difficulty of the mounting groove 40f is reduced. Moreover, the annular protruding structure 405 has a certain deformation ability and can be connected with a water absorption component 42 of a slightly larger size, so that the annular protruding structure 405 can be deformed to press the water absorption component 42, thereby fixing the water absorption component 42.

[0199] In some embodiments, the thickness of the protruding structure 405 along its own radial direction is t, and t>0.5 mm.

[0200] For example, t refers to the single-side thickness of the protruding structure 405 along its own radial direction.

[0201] It should be noted that if the thickness t of the protruding structure 405 along its own radial direction is less than or equal to 0.5 mm, the thickness t of the protruding structure 405 is small, and the structural strength is low, so that the protruding structure 405 is easy to deform and damage. Therefore, the thickness t of the protruding structure 405 along its own radial direction can be greater than 0.5 mm, so that the thickness t of the protruding structure 405 is large, and the structural strength is high, so that the protruding structure 405 is not easy to deform and damage.

[0202] For example, the thickness t of the protruding structure 405 along its own radial direction can be 0.6 mm, 0.75 mm, 1 mm, 1.25 mm, 1.4 mm, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0203] In some embodiments, the thickness of the protruding structure 405 along its own radial direction is t, and t<1.5 mm.

[0204] It should be noted that if the thickness t of the protruding structure 405 along its own radial direction is ≥ 1.5 mm, then the thickness t of the protruding structure 405 is relatively large, making it difficult to deform. In this case, the deformation of the protruding structure 405 cannot be used to compress the water-absorbing component 42 to fix it. Therefore, the thickness t of the protruding structure 405 along its own radial direction can be t < 1.5 mm. In this way, the thickness t of the protruding structure 405 is relatively small, and its deformation ability is relatively strong. In this case, the deformation of the protruding structure 405 can be used to compress the water-absorbing component 42 to fix it.

[0205] For example, the thickness t of the protrusion structure 405 along its own radial direction can be 1.4mm, 1.25mm, 1mm, 0.75mm, 0.6mm, etc., and this embodiment does not make a specific limitation on it.

[0206] In some embodiments, the protrusion 405 is provided with a notch 405a, which is used to disconnect the protrusion 405.

[0207] By setting a notch 405a to disconnect the protruding structure 405, the difficulty of the protruding structure 405 deforming can be reduced, so that the protruding structure 405 can use its own deformation to squeeze the water-absorbing component 42 to fix the water-absorbing component 42.

[0208] In some embodiments, the protrusion structure 405 is provided with a plurality of notches 405a, which are spaced apart to divide the protrusion structure 405 into a plurality of portions.

[0209] By setting multiple notches 405a to divide the protruding structure 405 into multiple parts, the difficulty of the protruding structure 405 to deform can be reduced, so that the protruding structure 405 can use its own deformation to squeeze the water-absorbing component 42 to fix the water-absorbing component 42.

[0210] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 includes a water level detection component (not shown) disposed within the housing 40.

[0211] By setting a water level detection component, the amount of condensate water inside the housing 40 can be detected, thereby preventing the ultrasonic generator 400 from operating when there is insufficient condensate water.

[0212] In some embodiments, such as Figure 16 As shown, the water container 30 is nested inside the lower tray 32, and the water container 30 is detachable from the lower tray 32.

[0213] By nesting the water container 30 within the lower tray 32, the space occupied by the water container 30 can be reduced. Furthermore, the water container 30 can be detached from the lower tray 32 to drain the condensate inside, facilitating regular cleaning by the user.

[0214] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 As shown, the lower tray 32 has a receiving cavity 32a.

[0215] By providing a receiving cavity 32a to accommodate the water container 30, the space occupied by the water container 30 can be reduced.

[0216] In some embodiments, the lower tray 32 has an opening 32b communicating with the receiving cavity 32a, and the water container 30 can be moved relative to the lower tray 32 through the opening 32b into or outside the receiving cavity 32a.

[0217] By providing an opening 32b, the water container 30 can be moved into the receiving cavity 32a through the opening 32b, thus enabling the assembly of the water container 30 and the lower tray 32. When it is necessary to empty the condensate from the water container 30, the water container 30 can be moved out of the receiving cavity 32a through the opening 32b. This reduces the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the water container 30.

[0218] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the lower tray 32 is provided with a water-retaining part 32c. A first space in the lower tray 32 located on one side of the water-retaining part 32c (e.g., the side away from the opening 32b) is used to receive condensate pumped by the condensate box 31 and allow the condensate to flow into a second space in the lower tray 32 located on the other side of the water-retaining part 32c (e.g., the side closer to the opening 32b). The lower tray 32 is also provided with a water outlet pipe 321 communicating with the second space. The water outlet pipe 321 is connected to the water inlet 400a to discharge condensate into the water inlet 400a.

[0219] By setting up a water-blocking part 32c to obstruct the condensate, the speed at which the condensate received in the first space flows to the second space can be slowed down, thereby reducing the speed at which the condensate is discharged from the outlet pipe 321, allowing the condensate to be atomized by the ultrasonic generator 400 as much as possible, and improving the utilization rate of the condensate.

[0220] In some embodiments, the lower tray 32 is provided with a water outlet pipe 321, which is connected to the water inlet 400a to discharge the condensate received by the lower tray 32 to the water inlet 400a. The inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe 321 near the lower tray 32 is larger than the inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe 321 near the water inlet 400a.

[0221] For example, if the water outlet pipe 321 is circular, the inner diameter of the water outlet pipe 321 is the diameter of the circular water outlet pipe 321.

[0222] By setting the inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe 321 close to the lower supporting box 32 to be larger than the inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe 321 close to the water inlet 400a, the water outlet pipe 321 is substantially trumpet-shaped, and the inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe 321 communicating with the inside of the lower supporting box 32 is larger, which can avoid the condensate water from forming water droplets due to tension at this position and causing blockage, thereby slowing down the flow of condensate water from the water outlet pipe 321 to the water inlet 400a, so as to ensure that sufficient condensate water enters the shell 40 through the water inlet 400a for use by the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0223] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17 , the water box further comprises a cover body 33, and the cover body 33 is connected to the lower supporting box 32 in a covering manner.

[0224] In some embodiments, the cover body 33 is provided with a three-way structure for communicating the condensate water box 31, the water containing box 30 and the lower supporting box 32, so as to receive the condensate water pumped by the condensate water box 31 and deliver it to the water containing box 30 and the lower supporting box 32.

[0225] By providing the three-way structure on the cover body 33, the condensate water box 31, the water containing box 30 and the lower supporting box 32 can be communicated by the three-way structure, so that the condensate water pumped by the condensate water box 31 can be distributed to the water containing box 30 and the lower supporting box 32.

[0226] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 19 , the three-way structure comprises a connecting pipe 34, and the connecting pipe 34 and the cover body 33 are integrally formed.

[0227] By adopting the design of integrally forming the connecting pipe 34 and the cover body 33, the number of installed components can be reduced, the structural compactness of the water box is improved, and the assembly difficulty of the water box is reduced.

[0228] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 34 has a first interface 34a, a second interface 34b and a third interface 34c communicating with each other, the first interface 34a communicates with the condensate water box 31, the second interface 34b communicates with the water containing box 30, and the third interface 34c communicates with the lower supporting box 32.

[0229] By communicating the first interface 34a with the condensate water box 31, the first interface 34a can receive the condensate water pumped by the condensate water box 31 and distribute it to the second interface 34b and the third interface 34c, so that the condensate water can flow to the water containing box 30 and the lower supporting box 32 through the second interface 34b and the third interface 34c, respectively.

[0230] In some embodiments, the cover body 33 is further provided with a first delivery pipe 331, one end of the first delivery pipe 331 communicates with the second interface 34b through a first hose, and the other end of the first delivery pipe 331 communicates with the water containing box 30.

[0231] By setting the first delivery pipe 331 on the cover 33, and connecting the first delivery pipe 331 and the second interface 34b by the first hose, the second interface 34b can be connected to the water tank 30.

[0232] In some embodiments, the cover 33 is further provided with a second delivery pipe 332, the second delivery pipe 332 is connected to the third interface 34c by a second hose, and the other end of the second delivery pipe 332 is connected to the lower supporting box 32.

[0233] By setting the second delivery pipe 332 on the cover 33, and connecting the second delivery pipe 332 and the third interface 34c by the second hose, the third interface 34c can be connected to the lower supporting box 32.

[0234] In some embodiments, the cover 33 is further provided with a first guide slot 33a, the first guide slot 33a is arranged corresponding to the first delivery pipe 331, and the first guide slot 33a is used to accommodate at least part of the first hose.

[0235] By setting the first guide slot 33a to accommodate at least part of the first hose, the first hose can be protected, and the difficulty of connecting the first hose and the first delivery pipe 331 can be reduced, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the water tank.

[0236] In some embodiments, the cover 33 is further provided with a second guide slot 33b, the second guide slot 33b is arranged corresponding to the second delivery pipe 332, and the second guide slot 33b is used to accommodate at least part of the second hose.

[0237] By setting the second guide slot 33b to accommodate at least part of the second hose, the second hose can be protected, and the difficulty of connecting the second hose and the second delivery pipe 332 can be reduced, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the water tank.

[0238] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 20 and Figure 21 The tee structure is configured as a first flow channel 333 formed by fusion on the cover 33.

[0239] In this process, the filler material (such as metal wire, powder, etc.) is melted under the action of an energy source (such as laser, electron beam, electric arc, etc.), and then according to the pre-designed path and shape, the melted material is accumulated on the workbench or the surface of the formed part, layer by layer, to finally form the required part shape.

[0240] The first flow channel 333 is formed by welding, which facilitates the setting of the tee structure on the cover 33 and improves the setting reliability of the tee structure on the cover 33. In this way, the forming process of the tee structure is simplified, the assembly difficulty of the water box is reduced, and the risk of water leakage of the water box is reduced.

[0241] In some embodiments, the first flow channel 333 has a fourth interface 333a, a fifth interface 333b and a sixth interface 333c that are in communication with each other. The fourth interface 333a is in communication with the condensate box 31 and is used to receive the condensate pumped by the condensate box 31. The fifth interface 333b is in communication with the water tank 30, and the sixth interface 333c is in communication with the lower supporting box 32.

[0242] By connecting the fourth interface 333a to the condensate box 31, the fourth interface 333a can receive the condensate pumped by the condensate box 31 and be distributed to the fifth interface 333b and the sixth interface 333c, so that the condensate can flow to the water tank 30 and the lower supporting box 32 through the fifth interface 333b and the sixth interface 333c, respectively.

[0243] In some embodiments, the fourth interface 333a is in communication with the condensate box 31 through a third hose. The cover 33 is also provided with a third guide slot 33c corresponding to the fourth interface 333a, which is used to accommodate at least part of the third hose.

[0244] By arranging the third guide slot 33c to accommodate at least part of the third hose, the third hose can be protected while the difficulty of connecting the third hose to the fourth interface 333a is reduced, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the water box.

[0245] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 22 The water tank 30 is provided with a second flow channel 30a, which is located inside the water tank 30 and is not in communication with the inside of the water tank 30. One end of the second flow channel 30a is in communication with the condensate box 31, and the other end of the second flow channel 30a is in communication with the lower supporting box 32.

[0246] For example, the second flow channel 30a is not in communication with the inside of the water tank 30, which means that the condensate in the second flow channel 30a will not flow into the water tank 30. The second flow channel 30a can be arranged through the water tank 30.

[0247] By setting the second flow channel 30a in the water containing box 30, the second flow channel 30a is used to communicate the condensate water box 31 with the lower supporting box 32, so that the condensate water pumped by the condensate water box 31 can be delivered to the lower supporting box 32. Moreover, by using the water containing box 30 itself to form the second flow channel 30a, the setting of the pipeline can be reduced, so that the overall structure of the water box can be simplified, and the assembly difficulty of the water box can be reduced.

[0248] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the second flow channel 30a near one end of the lower supporting box 32 is greater than the inner diameter of the second flow channel 30a near one end of the water containing box 30.

[0249] For example, the second flow channel 30a is circular, and the inner diameter of the second flow channel 30a is the diameter of the circular second flow channel 30a.

[0250] By making the inner diameter of the second flow channel 30a near one end of the lower supporting box 32 greater than the inner diameter of the second flow channel 30a near one end of the water containing box 30, the second flow channel 30a is roughly trumpet-shaped, and the inner diameter of the end of the second flow channel 30a communicating with the condensate water box 31 is larger, which can avoid the condensate water from forming water droplets due to tension at this position, causing blockage, and thus slowing down the flow of condensate water from the second flow channel 30a to the lower supporting box 32, so that sufficient condensate water can enter the lower supporting box 32 through the second flow channel 30a.

[0251] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 17 The communication position of the condensate water box 31 and the water containing box 30 is provided with a first filtering component 301.

[0252] By setting the first filtering component 301 to filter the condensate water, it can be avoided that the lint and other impurities enter the water containing box 30 along with the condensate water, so that the blockage and pollution of the water containing box 30 can be avoided.

[0253] For example, the first filtering component 301 can be a filter screen, filter cotton, etc., which is not specifically limited in the present embodiment.

[0254] In some embodiments, the communication position of the condensate water box 31 and the lower supporting box 32 is provided with a second filtering component 302.

[0255] By setting the second filtering component 302 to filter the condensate water, it can be avoided that the lint and other impurities enter the lower supporting box 32 along with the condensate water, so that the blockage and pollution of the lower supporting box 32 can be avoided.

[0256] For example, the second filtering component 302 can be a filter screen, filter cotton, etc., which is not specifically limited in the present embodiment.
