For example, different combinations of specific technical features can form different embodiments and technical solutions. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in this application will not be described separately.

[0040] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used merely to distinguish different objects and do not indicate that the objects have the sameness or relationship. It should be understood that the directional descriptions "above," "below," "front," "back," "outside," and "inside" refer to the directions under normal use.

[0041] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element. "A plurality of" indicates a quantity of two or more.

[0042] In this embodiment, the type of clothing processing equipment is not limited, and it can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo, etc., and is not restricted here. Exemplarily, this embodiment uses a dryer as an example for description.

[0043] Please see Figures 1-2 The garment processing equipment includes a housing 11 and a garment processing cylinder 10, with the garment processing cylinder 10 rotatably disposed inside the housing 11.

[0044] The housing 11 is used to house structural components such as the clothing processing cylinder 10. As an external component of the clothing processing equipment, the housing 11 can protect the internal clothing processing cylinder 10.

[0045] The clothes processing tube 10 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 11. The clothes processing tube 10 has a clothes processing cavity 10a, which can be used to place and dry clothes. The clothes processing tube 10 can drive the clothes to rotate.

[0046] For example, taking a tumble dryer as an example, the rotation axis of the clothes handling drum 10 is horizontal, and the front side of the clothes handling drum 10 has a clothes inlet communicating with the clothes handling chamber 10a. The user puts or takes out the clothes handling chamber 10a through the clothes inlet. During the rotation of the clothes handling drum 10, it moves the clothes from bottom to top. Under the action of gravity, the clothes fall from top to bottom. In this way, the clothes are dispersed, shaken and changed in shape under the combined action of the clothes handling drum 10 and gravity.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 The garment processing cylinder 10 can be a single cylinder structure, meaning that the garment processing equipment has only one cylinder, the garment processing cylinder 10.

[0048] Of course, in other examples, the garment handling device may also include an outer cylinder disposed circumferentially outside the garment handling cylinder 10.

[0049] This application describes an example of a garment processing device with a single-tube structure.

[0050] For example, the garment processing drum 10 is generally hollow and cylindrical. The garment processing drum 10 may be made of metal, such as stainless steel, etc., and there is no limitation on this.

[0051] This application provides a garment processing device, which includes a box assembly and / or a tube assembly as described in any embodiment of this application.

[0052] Please see Figures 1-5The housing assembly provided in this application embodiment is used for a garment processing device. The housing assembly includes a housing 11 and a transmitting module 12. The housing 11 has a protrusion 11a. The transmitting module 12 includes a first bracket 122, which includes an annular body 1221 and a connecting ear 1222. At least a portion of the protrusion 11a is located on the inner periphery of the annular body 1221, and the connecting ear 1222 is connected to the outer periphery of the annular body 1221 and is connected to the housing 11.

[0053] The transmitting module 12 is part of a wireless power supply assembly, which is used to transmit energy. The wireless power supply assembly is a structure that provides electrical power and / or signals to the electrical components of a garment handling device wirelessly. Exemplarily, the wireless power supply assembly may be a structure that generates an induced current through electromagnetic induction to provide electrical power and / or signals.

[0054] Please see Figure 5 The annular body 1221 has a ring structure. For example, the annular body 1221 can be an open ring or a closed ring.

[0055] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The fact that at least a portion of the protrusion 11a is located on the inner periphery of the annular body 1221 means that at least a portion of the protrusion 11a is located within the enclosing area 1221b of the annular body 1221.

[0056] In some embodiments, a portion of the structure of the protrusion 11a is located on the inner periphery of the annular body 1221. That is, a portion of the structure of the protrusion 11a is located within the enclosing region 1221b of the annular body 1221, while another portion of the structure of the protrusion 11a may be located outside the enclosing region 1221b of the annular body 1221.

[0057] In other embodiments, the entire structure of the protrusion 11a is located on the inner periphery of the annular body 1221. That is, the entire structure of the protrusion 11a is located within the enclosing region 1221b of the annular body 1221, and the annular body 1221 surrounds the outer periphery of the protrusion 11a.

[0058] The connecting ear 1222 is connected to the outer periphery of the annular body 1221, meaning that the connecting ear 1222 is located outside the enclosing area 1221b of the annular body 1221.

[0059] The connection method between the connecting ear 1222 and the housing 11 is not limited; the connecting ear 1222 and the housing 11 can be detached or non-detached. The first bracket 122 is fixed to the housing 11 via the connecting ear 1222.

[0060] It is understood that detachable connections include, but are not limited to, snap-fit ​​or fastener connections. Non-detachable connections include, but are not limited to, welding, riveting, or bonding.

[0061] The housing assembly provided in this application embodiment has two aspects. First, the transmitting module 12 is part of a wireless power supply assembly. The transmitting module 12 is used to emit energy. The wireless power supply assembly is a device that can transmit energy in a contactless manner, which facilitates the installation of electrical components on the clothing processing drum 10 for close-range detection of clothing and close-range execution of specific functions, thereby increasing the reliability of the clothing processing equipment. Second, at least a portion of the protrusion 11a is located on the inner circumference of the annular body 1221. That is, at least a portion of the protrusion 11a is located within the enclosed area 1221b of the annular body 1221. During the assembly of the first bracket 122 to the housing 11, the protrusion 11a constrains the installation position of the first bracket 122, and the protrusion 11a plays a role in positioning and limiting the first bracket 122. The connecting ear 1222 is connected to the outer circumference of the annular body 1221. The connecting ear 1222 can avoid the protrusion 11a so that the connecting ear 1222 can be connected to the housing 11. This design reduces the assembly difficulty and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0062] Please see Figures 1-7 The cylindrical assembly provided in this application embodiment is used in a garment processing device. The cylindrical assembly includes a garment processing cylinder 10 and a receiving module 13. The garment processing cylinder 10 has an air inlet zone 10b and a first non-air inlet zone 10c. The air inlet zone 10b has an air inlet 100a, which is adapted for airflow to pass through and enter the garment processing cylinder 10. The air inlet zone 10b surrounds the outer periphery of the first non-air inlet zone 10c. The receiving module 13 includes a second support 132, which includes an annular portion 1321 and a connecting portion 1322. The connecting portion 1322 is connected to the inner periphery of the annular portion 1321 and is connected to the first non-air inlet zone 10c.

[0063] The air inlet 100a can deliver airflow into the clothes processing drum 10. In other words, the air inlet 100a is connected to the clothes processing chamber 10a, and the airflow enters the clothes processing chamber 10a through the air inlet 100a for drying clothes.

[0064] The first non-air intake zone 10c refers to the area where airflow cannot pass through and enter the clothing processing drum 10.

[0065] The air intake zone 10b surrounds the outer periphery of the first non-air intake zone 10c, that is, the air intake zone 10b surrounds the first non-air intake zone 10c.

[0066] The receiving module 13 is part of the wireless power supply module and is used to receive energy from the transmitting module 12.

[0067] For example, a wireless power supply component is a device that can transfer energy in a contactless manner. For instance, the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 can be wirelessly connected by electromagnetic induction, and the receiving module 13 can receive electrical energy wirelessly.

[0068] For example, the transmitting module 12 can be electrically connected to the main control board of the garment processing equipment. The main control board is used to control the operation of the garment processing equipment and supply power to various parts within the garment processing equipment, enabling the circuits of each part to work normally, so as to realize functions such as drying control. For example, the main control board can be fixed to the housing 11, and the transmitting module 12 can be electrically connected to the main control board through a conductive wire harness to receive the power supplied by the main control board and transmit electromagnetic signals to the receiving module 13.

[0069] The transmitting module 12 is wirelessly connected to the receiving module 13, meaning that the transmitting module 12 can wirelessly transmit power to the receiving module 13. Thus, the electrical components installed in the clothing handling drum 10 can be electrically connected to the receiving module 13, which supplies power to the components to meet their power needs.

[0070] It should be noted that an electrical component can be a structural element capable of performing an electrical function and / or used in a circuit to perform at least one electrical function. The number of electrical components can be one, two, three, or more.

[0071] The electrical components can be units for detecting the condition of the clothing, as well as other units that can have specific functions to improve drying performance. For example, the unit for detecting the condition of the clothing can be for detecting the temperature, conductivity, etc. of the clothing.

[0072] For example, at least a portion of the receiving module 13 is disposed in the garment processing drum 10. Electrical components, such as units for detecting the state of the garments, can be disposed within the garment processing drum 10 and electrically connected to the receiving module 13 to obtain electrical energy. When the garment processing drum 10 rotates, the receiving module 13 and the electrical components rotate synchronously. The electrical connection between the receiving module 13 and the electrical components is relatively stable, and the receiving module 13 can also receive electrical energy transmitted from the transmitting module 12 during rotation. Thus, the electrical components disposed within the garment processing drum 10 can sense the state of the garments at close range and perform specific functions, thereby improving the working performance of the garment processing equipment. For example, this can improve the judgment performance of the garment processing equipment.

[0073] The annular portion 1321 has a ring structure. For example, the annular portion 1321 can be an open ring or a closed ring.

[0074] The connection portion 1322 is connected to the inner peripheral side of the annular portion 1321, meaning that the connection portion 1322 is located within the enclosure area 1321b enclosed by the annular portion 1321. In other words, the annular portion 1321 surrounds the outer peripheral side of the connection portion 1322.

[0075] The connection method between the connecting part 1322 and the first non-air intake zone 10c is not limited; the connecting part 1322 and the first non-air intake zone 10c can be detachably connected or non-detachably connected. The second bracket 132 is fixed to the clothing processing drum 10 through the connecting part 1322.

[0076] The cylinder assembly provided in this application embodiment has two aspects. First, the receiving module 13 is part of the wireless power supply assembly. The receiving module 13 receives electrical energy wirelessly, which facilitates the installation of electrical components on the clothing processing cylinder 10 for close-range detection of clothing and execution of specific functions, thereby increasing the reliability of the clothing processing equipment. Second, the connecting part 1322 is connected to the inner circumference of the annular part 1321 so that the connecting part 1322 can be connected to the first non-air inlet zone 10c. The first non-air inlet zone 10c does not need to supply airflow into the clothing processing cylinder 10. The connection of the connecting part 1322 to the first non-air inlet zone 10c will not interfere with the airflow supply and will also provide sufficient space for connecting and fixing the second bracket 132.

[0077] Understandably, in some examples, the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 can transmit signals in addition to transmitting electrical energy. That is, the clothing information detected by the electrical components can be transmitted to the receiving module 13, and the receiving module 13 can then transmit the information to the transmitting module 12.

[0078] Of course, in other embodiments, the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 may only transmit electrical energy. The clothing processing device may be equipped with a wireless transmission unit for transmitting signals such as clothing detection information. The receiving module 13 can provide electrical energy to the wireless transmission unit, and the wireless transmission unit can receive clothing information detected by electrical components and transmit it wirelessly.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The garment processing drum 10 has a second non-air intake zone 10d, which surrounds the outer periphery of the air intake zone 10b. That is, the second non-air intake zone 10d surrounds the air intake zone 10b. Specifically, the second non-air intake zone 10d refers to the area where airflow cannot pass through and enter the garment processing drum 10.

[0080] In some embodiments, the housing assembly includes a bearing housing, and a protrusion 11a is used to receive the bearing housing, which can be connected to the housing 11. In other words, at least a portion of the bearing housing is received within the space formed by the protrusion 11a.

[0081] The bearing housing is used to mount the bearing. For example, the garment processing equipment includes a support shaft, which can be connected to the bearing housing via a bearing. The bearing housing can be fixed to the housing 11, and the support shaft is fixedly connected to the garment processing drum 10. The bearing can be a rolling bearing to reduce frictional losses between the support shaft and the bearing housing during the rotation of the garment processing drum 10.

[0082] In this embodiment, the connecting ear 1222 is connected to the outer periphery of the annular body 1221, and the connecting ear 1222 will not interfere with the installation of the bearing seat into the protrusion 11a.

[0083] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The transmitting module 12 includes a transmitting coil 121, which has a ring structure and is disposed on the ring-shaped body 1221.

[0084] The transmitting coil 121 is used to generate a changing magnetic field, thereby emitting energy.

[0085] In this embodiment, both the transmitting coil 121 and the annular body 1221 are annular structures to facilitate the fixing of the transmitting coil 121 to the annular body 1221. The annular structure of the transmitting coil 121 can reduce the length of the wires used in the transmitting coil 121, reduce resistance and power loss, and also confine the electromagnetic field to the vicinity of the core, reducing electromagnetic interference to other devices.

[0086] It should be noted that the outer contour shape of the ring structure in this application example is not limited. For example, the outer contour of the ring structure can be circular, elliptical, polygonal, or irregular, etc. In other words, the ring structure can be a circular ring structure, an elliptical ring structure, a polygonal ring structure, or an irregular ring structure, etc.

[0087] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1-5 The housing 11 includes a rear plate 111, a first bracket 122 disposed on the front side of the rear plate 111, and an annular body 1221 forming a first annular groove 1221a. The first annular groove 1221a has an opening on the side away from the rear plate 111, and the transmitting coil 121 is disposed in the first annular groove 1221a.

[0088] The rear panel 111 refers to the component on the rear side of the housing 11 along the front-to-back direction. The rear side is the side away from the user after the clothing handling equipment is installed, that is, the side away from the clothing inlet of the clothing handling drum 10. The rear panel 111 is located on the rear side of the clothing handling drum 10.

[0089] The first bracket 122 is located on the front side of the back plate 111, that is, the first bracket 122 is located on the side of the back plate 111 near the clothing processing cylinder 10.

[0090] Specifically, the first annular groove 1221a is an annular space defined by the structure of the annular body 1221 itself. The second annular groove 1321a is open on the side away from the rear plate 111, and the first annular groove 1221a is closed on the side close to the rear plate 111.

[0091] The first annular groove 1221a opens on the side away from the rear plate 111, that is, the first annular groove 1221a opens towards the front. In other words, the first annular groove 1221a opens towards the side where the clothing processing drum 10 is located.

[0092] In this embodiment, the first bracket 122 is disposed on the front side of the rear plate 111, and the first annular groove 1221a is open on the side away from the rear plate 111, which facilitates the relative arrangement of the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131, thereby achieving effective power transmission. The side of the first annular groove 1221a facing the rear plate 111 can be closed to provide support for the transmitting coil 121 and reduce the probability of the transmitting coil 121 detaching from the first annular groove 1221a.

[0093] It is understood that the outer contour shape of the annular body 1221 can be adapted to the outer contour shape of the transmitting coil 121; in other words, the outer contour shape of the annular body 1221 can be approximately the same as the outer contour shape of the transmitting coil 121. For example, if the outer contour of the transmitting coil 121 is circular, the outer contour shape of the annular body 1221 can also be circular. Or, for example, if the outer contour of the transmitting coil 121 is polygonal, the outer contour shape of the annular body 1221 can also be the same polygonal. In this way, the spatial size of the first annular groove 1221a matches the transmitting coil 121, so that the transmitting coil 121 can be placed within the first annular groove 1221a.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first bracket 122 may be disposed on the rear side of the rear plate 111. That is, the first bracket 122 may be disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 away from the clothes handling drum 10.

[0095] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1-5 The number of connecting ears 1222 is multiple, and the multiple connecting ears 1222 are arranged at intervals along the outer periphery of the annular body 1221.

[0096] In this embodiment, multiple connecting ears 1222 are connected to the housing 11 to improve the stability of the connection between the first bracket 122 and the housing 11.

[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The connecting ear 1222 is detachably connected to the housing 11 via fasteners.

[0098] Fasteners include, but are not limited to, screws or bolts.

[0099] In this embodiment, the connecting ear 1222 and the housing 11 are detachably connected by fasteners. The installation method is simple and the operation is convenient. It also makes it easy to remove the first bracket 122 from the housing 11 when maintenance or replacement of the transmitter module 12 is required, reducing the difficulty of installation and removal.

[0100] In some embodiments, the transmitting module 12 includes a transmitting circuit board, and the transmitting coil 121 is electrically connected to the transmitting circuit board.

[0101] For example, the transmitting circuit board includes a modem circuit and a power supply circuit. The modem circuit can convert signals, and the power supply circuit can transmit electrical energy to the receiving module 13. The transmitting module 12 can be electrically connected to the main control board through the transmitting circuit board.

[0102] In some embodiments, the transmitting circuit board can be disposed on the rear plate 111. For example, the transmitting circuit board can be connected to the rear plate 111 by means of screw connection or soldering, thereby increasing the installation stability of the transmitting circuit board.

[0103] In some embodiments, the transmitting circuit board may also be disposed on the first bracket 122. Of course, in other embodiments, the transmitting circuit board may not be disposed on the first bracket 122.

[0104] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4-7 The receiving module 13 includes a receiving coil 131, which has a ring structure and is disposed in the ring portion 1321.

[0105] The receiving coil 131 is used to receive the electromagnetic signal emitted by the transmitting coil 121 and generate an induced current. Specifically, the transmitting coil 121 generates a changing magnetic field, and the receiving coil 131 generates an induced current through electromagnetic induction, receiving electrical energy from the transmitting coil 121 and outputting electrical energy.

[0106] In this embodiment, both the receiving coil 131 and the annular portion 1321 are annular structures to facilitate fixing the receiving coil 131 to the annular portion 1321. The annular structure of the receiving coil 131 can reduce the length of the wire used in the receiving coil 131, reduce resistance and power loss, and also confine the electromagnetic field to the vicinity of the core, reducing electromagnetic interference to other devices.

[0107] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 4-7 The clothing processing tube 10 includes a back cover 102, a second bracket 132 disposed on the rear side of the back cover 102, an annular portion 1321 forming a second annular groove 1321a, the second annular groove 1321a opening on the side away from the back cover 102, and a receiving coil 131 disposed in the second annular groove 1321a.

[0108] The back cover 102 refers to the component on the rear side of the garment handling tube 10 in the front-to-back direction.

[0109] The second bracket 132 is located on the rear side of the rear cover 102, that is, the second bracket 132 is located on the side of the rear cover 102 near the rear plate 111.

[0110] Specifically, the second annular groove 1321a is an annular space defined by the structure of the annular portion 1321 itself. The second annular groove 1321a is open on the side away from the rear cover 102 and closed on the side close to the rear cover 102.

[0111] The second annular groove 1321a opens on the side away from the rear cover 102, that is, the second annular groove 1321a opens towards the rear. In other words, the second annular groove 1321a opens towards the side where the rear plate 111 is located.

[0112] In this embodiment, the second annular groove 1321a has an opening on the side away from the rear cover 102, which facilitates the relative arrangement of the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121, enabling efficient power transmission. The side of the second annular groove 1321a facing the rear cover 102 can be closed to provide support for the receiving coil 131 and reduce the probability of the receiving coil 131 detaching from the second annular groove 1321a.

[0113] It is understood that the outer contour shape of the annular portion 1321 can be adapted to the outer contour shape of the receiving coil 131; in other words, the outer contour shape of the annular portion 1321 can be approximately the same as the outer contour shape of the receiving coil 131. For example, if the outer contour of the receiving coil 131 is circular, the outer contour shape of the annular portion 1321 can also be circular. Or, for example, if the outer contour of the receiving coil 131 is polygonal, the outer contour shape of the annular portion 1321 can also be the same polygonal. In this way, the spatial size of the second annular groove 1321a matches the receiving coil 131, so that the receiving coil 131 can be placed within the second annular groove 1321a.

[0114] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4-7 The number of connecting parts 1322 is multiple, and the multiple connecting parts 1322 are arranged at intervals along the inner periphery of the annular part 1321.

[0115] In this embodiment, multiple connecting parts 1322 are connected to the first non-air inlet zone 10c to improve the connection stability between the second bracket 132 and the clothing processing tube 10.

[0116] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The connecting part 1322 is detachably connected to the first non-air intake zone 10c via fasteners.

[0117] In this embodiment, the connecting part 1322 is detachably connected to the first non-air intake zone 10c by fasteners. The installation method is simple and the operation is convenient. It also makes it easy to remove the second bracket 132 from the clothing processing tube 10 when maintenance or replacement of the receiving module 13 is required, reducing the difficulty of installation and removal.

[0118] In some embodiments, the receiving module 13 includes a receiving circuit board electrically connected to the receiving coil 131.

[0119] For example, the receiving circuit board includes a modem circuit and a power output circuit. The modem circuit can convert signals, and the power output circuit can output electrical energy.

[0120] In some embodiments, the receiving circuit board may be fixed inside the lifting rib 14 or the rear cover 102. In this way, the receiving circuit board rotates synchronously with the clothing handling drum 10.

[0121] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The garment processing tube 10 includes a tube body 101, which has a cylindrical structure with openings on both the front and rear sides, and a rear cover 102 that closes the rear opening of the tube body 101.

[0122] Specifically, the front opening of the tube body 101 forms a clothing loading port, and the rear end of the tube body 101 cooperates with the rear cover 102 to jointly define the clothing processing chamber 10a.

[0123] For example, the rear end of the cylinder body 101 can be detachably or non-detachably connected to the rear cover 102.

[0124] It is understandable that the side of the rear cover 102 away from the cylinder body 101 is sealed to the rear plate 111, and the rear cover 102 can rotate relative to the rear plate 111 to form a dynamic sealing connection.

[0125] In some embodiments, the second bracket 132 may also be disposed on the side of the rear cover 102 near the body 101. That is, the second bracket 132 and the receiving coil 131 may be located inside the clothing processing cavity 10a.

[0126] In some embodiments, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are arranged at a distance from each other. In other words, there is a certain gap between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131, and the projection of the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 at least partially overlap with the projection of the receiving coil 131 on a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction.

[0127] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are arranged at a relative interval, which can reduce the impact of the rotating clothes handling drum 10 on the transmitting coil 121 and increase installation safety.

[0128] For example, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 can always remain coaxial and relative to each other, that is, no matter where the clothes handling drum 10 rotates to, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 always remain coaxial and relative to each other. The transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 can also be coaxial and relative to each other at a specific position, that is, the receiving coil 131 can move to the set position and be coaxial and relative to the transmitting coil 121 as the clothes handling drum 10 rotates.

[0129] In some embodiments, the transmitting coil 121, the receiving coil 131, and the clothing handling tube 10 are arranged coaxially.

[0130] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the clothing processing drum 10, regardless of the position of the receiving coil 131 as it rotates with the clothing processing drum 10, the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121 always maintain a relative state. This allows the receiving coil 131 to continuously and stably receive the electrical energy transmitted by the transmitting coil 121, thereby continuously providing power to the electrical components of the clothing processing drum 10. In other words, during the rotation of the clothing processing drum 10, the receiving coil 131 can always provide effective and sufficient power to the electrical components, eliminating the need for additional auxiliary power supply structures and increasing the power supply reliability of the clothing processing equipment.

[0131] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 The garment processing equipment includes a detection unit 15, which is used to detect parameters of the garments inside the garment processing drum 10. The detection unit 15 is electrically connected to the receiving module 13. Specifically, the detection unit 15 is disposed inside the garment processing drum 10.

[0132] It is understood that the detection unit 15 is one of the aforementioned electrical components.

[0133] The parameters of clothing include, but are not limited to, at least one of electrical conductivity and temperature.

[0134] The detection unit 15 can detect the conductivity of the load, such as clothing, within the clothing processing chamber 10a. The clothing processing equipment can determine the degree of drying based on the conductivity detected by the detection unit 15. For example, the detection principle of the detection unit 15 can be as follows: when the load, such as clothing, within the clothing processing chamber 10a comes into contact with the two detection electrodes 151 of the detection unit 15, the detection circuit of the detection unit 15 is activated. Since the resistance values ​​of the load, such as clothing, differ depending on its moisture level, the degree of moisture is related to its conductivity; therefore, the degree of drying is determined based on the conductivity.

[0135] In this embodiment, the detection unit 15 is disposed inside the clothing processing drum 10, and the receiving module 13 provides power to the detection unit 15. The detection electrode 151 of the detection unit 15 can contact the clothing and other loads in the clothing processing chamber 10a, thereby sensing the degree of drying of the clothing at close range and effectively improving the accuracy of judging the degree of drying of the clothing and other loads in the clothing processing drum 10.

[0136] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 The detection unit 15 includes a detection electrode 151 and a detection circuit that are electrically connected to each other. The detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14, and the detection circuit is disposed inside the lifting rib 14. The detection circuit is electrically connected to the receiving module 13.

[0137] For example, the receiving circuit board may have a detection circuit. The receiving circuit board may be disposed within the lifting rib 14.

[0138] The lifting rib 14 protrudes radially from the circumferential inner wall of the clothing processing cylinder 10. The lifting rib 14 can contact the clothing in the clothing processing cavity 10a and drive the clothing to rotate with the clothing processing cylinder 10.

[0139] Specifically, the detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14, which facilitates close contact with loads such as clothing. The detection circuit is disposed inside the lifting rib 14. That is, while the lifting rib 14 can be used to move the clothing in the clothing processing cavity 10a, it can also provide installation space for the detection circuit, thereby reducing the probability of the detection circuit contacting the clothing to a certain extent and increasing the installation and working reliability of the detection unit 15.

[0140] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The rear cover 102 includes a core 1021, an outer ring structure 1022, and multiple support arms 1023. The outer ring structure 1022 surrounds the outer periphery of the core 1021, and the multiple support arms 1023 are radially distributed along the circumference of the core 1021. The support arms 1023 connect the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022. The core 1021 is a first non-air inlet area 10c, the outer ring structure 1022 is a second non-air inlet area 10d, and the area of ​​the rear cover 102 between the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022 is an air inlet area 10b. The core 1021, the support wall, and the outer ring structure 1022 together define an air inlet 100a.

[0141] The air inlet 100a is used to supply airflow into the clothing processing chamber 10a.

[0142] The core 1021 is located approximately in the central area of ​​the back cover 102. The support arm 1023 connects the core 1021 to the outer ring structure 1022, which enables the back cover 102 to have sufficient structural strength and increases the structural stability of the clothing treatment tube 10.

[0143] For example, the support arm 1023 can be integrally formed with the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022; or, the support arm 1023 can be connected to the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022 by means of rivets, welding, threaded connection, etc., without limitation.

[0144] For example, the annular portion 1321 may be disposed on the core portion 1021, and the connecting portion 1322 is connected to the core portion 1021. That is, the annular portion 1321 is disposed approximately in the central region of the back cover 102, so that the receiving coil 131 can be coaxially disposed with the clothing handling drum 10, and the stability of the receiving coil 131 as it rotates with the clothing handling drum 10 is increased.

[0145] In this embodiment, the core 1021 is approximately located in the central region of the back cover 102, the annular portion 1321 can be disposed on the core 1021, the connecting portion 1322 is connected to the core 1021, and the core 1021 provides support for the second bracket 132, thereby increasing installation stability.

[0146] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 Multiple support arms 1023 are distributed circumferentially along the core 1021 to define the space between the core 1021 and the outer ring structure 1022 as multiple air inlets 100a.

[0147] In this embodiment, multiple air inlets 100a are spaced out by multiple support arms 1023, which can not only meet the structural strength requirements of the clothes processing drum 10, but also meet the air volume requirements during the clothes drying process.

[0148] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The second support 132 includes an extension structure 1323, which is connected to the outer periphery of the annular portion 1321. The extension structure 1323 is located on the side of the support arm 1023 away from the clothing processing cavity 10a, and the receiving circuit board is located on the extension structure 1323.

[0149] In this embodiment, the receiving circuit board is located outside the clothing processing tube 10, the extension structure 1323 provides space for the receiving circuit board, and the support arm 1023 provides support for the extension structure 1323, thereby increasing the installation stability of the receiving circuit board.

[0150] In some embodiments, the garment processing device includes a rear cover that covers the rear surface of the rear plate 111 and together with the rear plate 111 defines an air supply channel. The rear plate 111 has an air outlet, and the rear cover 102 has an air inlet 100a. The airflow in the air supply channel flows through the air outlet and the air inlet 100a to the garment processing chamber 10a.

[0151] Exemplarily, the garment processing drum 10 also has an air outlet, and the garment processing chamber 10a connects the air inlet 100a and the air outlet. Dry hot air enters the garment processing chamber 10a from the air inlet 100a, and humid hot air leaves the garment processing chamber 10a from the air outlet. The rear plate 111 has a return air inlet, the height of which is lower than the height of the air supply inlet. A rear cover is disposed around the air supply inlet and the return air inlet, and together with the rear plate 111, defines an air supply channel. The air supply channel connects the return air inlet and the air supply inlet, and the dry hot air enters the garment processing chamber 10a through the return air inlet, the air supply channel, and the air supply inlet to dry the clothes.

[0152] For example, the garment processing equipment may also include a base with a drying tunnel inside the base. The air supply channel and the drying tunnel together form a circulating air duct. The drying tunnel is located upstream of the air supply channel along the airflow direction in the circulating air duct. The drying tunnel is connected to the air outlet. The airflow after heat and moisture exchange with the garment can enter the drying tunnel through the air outlet. Condensation, dehumidification and heating are completed in the drying tunnel to form a new dry hot airflow. The new dry hot airflow then enters the garment processing chamber 10a through the return air inlet, the air supply channel and the air supply outlet.

[0153] There is no limit to the number of air outlets; there can be one or more air outlets, for example, two, three, four, or five air outlets.

[0154] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment also includes a heat exchange component located within the drying tunnel. The heat exchange component is used to exchange heat with the airflow within the drying tunnel, thereby dehumidifying and heating. The humid and hot airflow within the garment processing cylinder 10 can enter the drying tunnel through the air outlet and exchange heat with the heat exchange component to be converted into dry hot airflow. The dry hot airflow enters the air supply channel through the return air inlet and then flows back into the garment processing chamber 10a through the air supply outlet and air inlet 100a.

[0155] In some embodiments, the heat exchange assembly includes a condenser and an evaporator, and the garment handling device also includes a compressor and a throttling device. The compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator are connected by pipes to form a heat pump system, and the refrigerant can circulate within the heat pump system. The airflow in the circulating duct exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator and condenser to form a dry hot airflow. The evaporator is used to cool and dehumidify the humid hot airflow from the garment handling chamber 10a into a dry cold airflow; the condenser heats the dry cold airflow into a dry hot airflow and returns it to the garment handling chamber 10a.

[0156] The working principle of a heat pump system is as follows: The compressor draws in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and compresses it into high-pressure gaseous state before discharging it. The discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, where it transfers heat to the airflow, causing it to condense into a high-pressure liquid. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant is then throttled and depressurized by a throttling device, becoming a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture that enters the evaporator. The refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the airflow, becoming a low-pressure gaseous state, which is then drawn back into the compressor. This cycle repeats, achieving heat exchange. In other words, the evaporator cools and dehumidifies the humid airflow from the clothing processing chamber 10a, forming a dry, cool airflow. The condenser heats the dry, cool airflow into a dry, hot airflow, which then flows back into the clothing processing chamber 10a. The dry, hot airflow returning to the clothing processing chamber 10a comes into contact with the damp clothing, forming a humid, hot airflow again, completing one drying cycle. By repeatedly running the drying cycle, circulating airflow is continuously supplied to the clothing processing chamber 10a to dry the clothes.

[0157] For example, both the evaporator and the condenser can be finned tube heat exchangers.

[0158] For example, throttling devices include, but are not limited to, electronic expansion valves.

[0159] In some examples, the garment handling equipment also includes an impeller for driving airflow. Exemplarily, the impeller is located within the drying duct and between the heat exchange components and the return air vent. During the drying process, the impeller drives the airflow through the garments sequentially through the evaporator and condenser before blowing it back onto the garments to create a circulating airflow. The impeller can accelerate airflow and improve drying efficiency.
