Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, and more particularly to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Some dryers are now equipped with atomizers that generate water mist. This allows water molecules to penetrate the clothing fibers during the drying process, keeping clothes fluffy and removing wrinkles. Furthermore, the atomizers use condensate from a heat pump system, eliminating the need for an external water source.

[0003] However, when the ultrasonic generator is running, the condensate enters the ultrasonic generator and is then discharged. Because the condensate is discharged at a relatively fast speed, most of the condensate cannot be atomized by the ultrasonic generator, resulting in low condensate utilization. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application discloses a clothing treatment device in which the condensate is discharged slowly, and the condensate is atomized by an ultrasonic generator as much as possible, resulting in a high utilization rate of the condensate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a garment processing device, comprising:

[0006] The garment processing equipment includes: a housing; a drying drum rotatably disposed within the housing; a heat pump system disposed within the housing; a water box disposed within the housing for collecting condensate generated by the heat pump system; and an ultrasonic generator comprising: a housing having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet for receiving condensate pumped by the water box, and the outlet for discharging condensate.

[0007] The housing has a partition that divides the interior of the housing into a first cavity and a second cavity that are connected to each other. The water inlet is connected to the first cavity and the water outlet is connected to the second cavity.

[0008] The interior of the housing is divided into a first cavity and a second cavity by a partition. The condensate entering the first cavity through the inlet is obstructed by the partition, and the condensate can flow from the first cavity to the second cavity relatively slowly, and then be discharged from the second cavity through the outlet. That is, the speed at which the condensate is discharged from the outlet can be reduced, so that as much condensate as possible is atomized by the ultrasonic generator, resulting in a high utilization rate of condensate.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the water box includes:

[0010] A water container, which is detachably mounted on the top of the housing;

[0011] A condensate box is located at the bottom of the housing and is connected to the water container and the water inlet. The condensate box is used to collect the condensate generated by the heat pump system and pump the condensate to the water container and the water inlet.

[0012] The outlet is connected to the condensate box, and the outlet is used to discharge unused condensate into the condensate box.

[0013] The condensate water collected by the heat pump system is effectively collected and pumped to a collection tank. This efficient drainage prevents increased humidity inside the machine, improving drying efficiency and user comfort. Furthermore, the condensate water is pumped to the inlet to provide water for the ultrasonic generator's mist production. Unused condensate water from the ultrasonic generator is discharged back to the condensate water box through the outlet, preventing residual condensate water from accumulating inside the generator and developing an unpleasant odor over time.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the water inlet is located above the water outlet along the height direction of the housing.

[0015] By positioning the inlet above the outlet, a height difference is created between the inlet and outlet. Gravity allows condensate entering the housing through the inlet to automatically exit through the outlet, preventing condensate residue inside the housing and promoting the circulation of condensate within the housing and condensate box.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the housing includes:

[0017] The bottom shell is provided with the partition, the water inlet and the water outlet;

[0018] The top cover is connected to the bottom shell and is provided with a spray nozzle for spraying water mist.

[0019] Condensate is received through the inlet. After entering the housing, the condensate is located in the bottom shell and is slowly discharged from the outlet due to obstruction by the partition. At this time, the ultrasonic generator uses the water mist generated by the condensate to spray out from the spray nozzle on the top cover.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the ultrasonic generator further includes a first seal that is pressed between the bottom shell and the top cover.

[0021] By pressing the first sealing element between the bottom shell and the top cover, a waterproof seal can be achieved at the connection between the bottom shell and the top cover.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, one of the water inlet and the water outlet is located on the radial side of the housing, and the other is located on the axial side of the housing.

[0023] By placing the inlet and outlet on the radial and axial sides of the casing respectively, i.e., the inlet and outlet are located on different sides of the casing, their positions can be set according to actual conditions. This shortens the length of the pipe connecting the inlet and the condensate box, and the pipe requires less bending. Similarly, it shortens the length of the pipe connecting the outlet and the condensate box, and the pipe requires less bending.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the inner diameter of the inlet is larger than the inner diameter of the outlet.

[0025] By making the inner diameter of the inlet larger than that of the outlet, the ultrasonic generator allows condensate to flow at a higher velocity into the housing from the inlet and at a lower velocity when it exits the housing from the outlet. This ensures that a portion of the condensate is always buffered inside the housing for atomization to generate water mist.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, the housing includes:

[0027] The container is equipped with a dispensing port;

[0028] A container door is movably connected to the container body, and the container door can move relative to the container body to open or close the dispensing port.

[0029] A support member is disposed inside the box and located between the dryer tub and the dispensing port, the support member having an opening connecting the dryer tub and the dispensing port;

[0030] The housing is located on the side of the support or the door facing the drying tub.

[0031] The cabinet is movably connected to the cabinet body via a door. When the door moves relative to the cabinet body to open the loading port, clothes can be loaded into the drying drum inside the cabinet through the loading port, or clothes can be removed from the drying drum through the loading port. When the clothing processing equipment is in operation, the door can close the loading port to ensure safe operation. Furthermore, a support structure is installed inside the cabinet. This support structure can be used to install a water tank and an ultrasonic generator. Additionally, the opening in the support structure connects the drying drum and the loading port, allowing for easy passage of clothes into or out of the drying drum.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the housing is provided with a partition, and the housing also has a spray nozzle for spraying water mist;

[0033] The housing is located on the side of the support member away from the dryer tub. The support member has a through hole that extends through both opposite sides of the support member to connect the spray nozzle and the dryer tub.

[0034] By positioning the housing on the side of the support away from the dryer drum, interference between the housing and the super-housing shell can be avoided when the dryer drum rotates relative to the main body. Furthermore, the through-hole connects the spray nozzle and the dryer drum, ensuring that the water mist from the spray nozzle reaches the dryer drum smoothly.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the housing is provided with a second seal, the second seal being disposed around the spray nozzle, and the side of the second seal opposite to the housing at least partially abutting against the side of the support opposite to the dryer drum.

[0036] A second seal is provided around the spray nozzle, and the second seal can be pressed between the housing and the support. The second seal can seal the spray nozzle and the through hole at the same time, thus achieving waterproofing.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0038] In this embodiment, the interior of the housing is divided into a first cavity and a second cavity by a partition. The condensate entering the first cavity through the inlet is obstructed by the partition, and the condensate can flow from the first cavity to the second cavity relatively slowly, and then be discharged from the second cavity through the outlet. That is, the speed at which the condensate is discharged from the outlet can be reduced, so that as much condensate as possible is atomized by the ultrasonic generator, and the utilization rate of condensate is high.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0068] Before explaining the technical solution of this application, the inventive concept of this application will be explained first.

[0069] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a garment processing device 1000 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the principle of a clothing processing device 1000 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0070] Normally, as the drying drum 200 of the clothing processing equipment 1000 rotates relative to the casing 100 to tumble the clothes, the heat pump system operates simultaneously, transferring heat energy from the air to the clothes, thus facilitating rapid drying. The condensate generated by the heat pump system is collected in a condensate tray 31 at the bottom of the casing 100. The clothing processing equipment 1000 then uses a water pump to pump the condensate from the condensate tray 31 to a water collection box 30 at the top of the casing 100. By designing the water collection box 30 to be detachable from the casing 100, the user can remove the water collection box 30 from the casing 100 and empty the condensate from it.

[0071] To prevent wrinkles from forming after drying, the garment processing equipment 1000 is typically equipped with an ultrasonic generator 400. The ultrasonic generator 400 generates water mist and sprays it into the drying drum 200. In this way, during the drying process, water molecules can penetrate into the garment fibers, keeping the clothes fluffy after drying and thus removing wrinkles.

[0072] When the ultrasonic generator 400 generates water mist, it can use the condensate in the condensate box 31 as the water source for the ultrasonic generator 400. After the condensate enters the ultrasonic generator 400, it is discharged. Since the condensate is discharged quickly, most of the condensate cannot be atomized by the ultrasonic generator 400, resulting in low condensate utilization.

[0073] In summary, the clothing processing equipment 1000 in the related technology has a problem of low utilization rate of condensate when equipped with an ultrasonic generator 400 and using condensate to generate water mist.

[0074] The technical solutions of some embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing equipment 1000 includes a housing 100.

[0076] 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.

[0077] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device 1000 further includes a drying drum 200, which is rotatably disposed within the housing 100.

[0078] For example, the dryer drum 200 can hold clothes, and by rotating the dryer drum 200 relative to the casing 100, the clothes can be tumbled and processed.

[0079] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 1000 further includes a heat pump system disposed within the housing 100.

[0080] 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.

[0081] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 1000 further includes a water tank disposed in the housing 100, which is used to collect condensate generated by the heat pump system.

[0082] 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.

[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the garment processing equipment 1000 includes an ultrasonic generator 400, which is disposed in the housing 100.

[0084] Among them, the ultrasonic generator 400 uses ultrasonic atomization to break the molecular bonds between liquid water molecules through the high-frequency resonance of the ceramic atomizing plate, which is 1.7MHz or 2.4MHz, exceeding the range of human hearing and causing no harm to humans or animals. This produces a naturally drifting water mist without the need for heating or adding any chemical reagents.

[0085] The ultrasonic generator 400 generates water mist and sprays it into the drying drum 200. In this way, during the drying process, the water molecules can penetrate into the clothing fibers, making the clothes fluffy after drying and removing wrinkles.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the ultrasonic generator 400 includes a housing 40, which is disposed within the housing 100.

[0087] In some embodiments, the housing 40 has a water inlet 400a.

[0088] Condensate is received through inlet 400a and enters the housing 40, where it can be used by ultrasonic generator 400 to generate water mist in the drying drum 200.

[0089] In some embodiments, the housing 40 has a water outlet 400b.

[0090] Discharging unused condensate through outlet 400b prevents it from remaining inside housing 40 and developing an unpleasant odor over time. Furthermore, since the condensate enters housing 40 through inlet 400a and the un-atomized portion exits through outlet 400b, housing 40 can be designed without a cavity for storing condensate, thus saving this cavity and reducing the overall size of the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 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.

[0092] 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.

[0093] In some embodiments, the housing 40 is provided with a partition 40a, the inlet 400a and the connection point inside the housing 40 are located on one side of the partition 40a, and the outlet 400b and the connection point inside the housing 40 are located on the other side of the partition 40a.

[0094] The inlet 400a connects to the housing 40 at one side of the partition 40a. After receiving condensate, the condensate flows into the housing 40 through the connection between the inlet 400a and the housing 40. At this point, the condensate, located on one side of the partition 40a, is obstructed by the partition 40a and flows slowly from one side to the other. Then, the condensate can flow out through the outlet 400b at the connection between the outlet 400b and the housing 40. This reduces the rate at which the condensate is discharged from the outlet 400b, allowing as much condensate as possible to be atomized by the ultrasonic generator 400, resulting in higher condensate utilization.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the water box includes a water container 30, which is detachably mounted on the top of the housing 100.

[0096] 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.

[0097] In some embodiments, the water box further includes a condensate box 31, which is located at the bottom of the housing 100. The condensate box 31 is connected to the water container 30 and is used to collect condensate generated by the heat pump system and pump the condensate to the water container 30.

[0098] The condensate generated by the heat pump system is collected by 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.

[0099] The condensate collected in the condensate box 31 is pumped to the water collection box 30 by a water pump. The condensate can be effectively discharged through the water collection box 30, which can also prevent the increase of humidity inside the casing 100, thereby improving the drying efficiency and drying effect of the clothing processing equipment 1000.

[0100] In some embodiments, the inlet 400a is connected to the condensate box 31 and is used to receive the condensate pumped by the condensate box 31.

[0101] The condensate pumped by the condensate box 31 is received through the inlet 400a. The condensate enters the housing 40 and can be used by the ultrasonic generator 400 to generate water mist in the dryer 200.

[0102] In some embodiments, the outlet 400b is connected to the condensate box 31, and the outlet 400b is used to discharge unused condensate into the condensate box 31.

[0103] The ultrasonic generator 400 discharges unused condensate into the condensate box 31 through the outlet 400b, which can prevent unused condensate from remaining in the ultrasonic generator 400 and thus prevent the unused condensate from becoming smelly after a certain period of time.

[0104] Furthermore, after the condensate enters the ultrasonic generator 400 through the inlet 400a, the un-atomized portion is discharged through the outlet 400b. The ultrasonic generator 400 can be designed without a cavity for storing condensate, thus saving this cavity and reducing the overall size of the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, along the height direction x of the casing 100, the inlet 400a is located above the outlet 400b.

[0106] By positioning the inlet 400a above the outlet 400b, a height difference is created between the inlet 400a and the outlet 400b. Gravity allows the condensate entering the housing 40 from the inlet 400a to automatically exit the housing 40 from the outlet 400b, preventing condensate residue in the housing 40 and promoting the circulation of condensate within the housing 40 and the condensate box 31.

[0107] Furthermore, since the condensate is automatically discharged from the housing 40, the residence time of the condensate after entering the housing 40 is shortened. Therefore, in order to avoid the condensate not being effectively utilized to generate water mist due to its short residence time in the housing 40, this embodiment provides a partition 40a inside the housing 40.

[0108] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the housing 40 includes a bottom shell 401, a partition 40a of the bottom shell 401, and an inlet 400a and an outlet 400b.

[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the housing 40 also includes a top cover 402, which is connected to the bottom housing 401. The top cover 402 is provided with a spray nozzle 400c, which is used to spray water mist.

[0110] For example, the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402 can be detachably connected, which facilitates assembly and disassembly and reduces the difficulty of maintenance of the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0111] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 includes a first seal 41 that is pressed between the bottom housing 401 and the top cover 402.

[0112] By pressing the first seal 41 between the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402, a waterproof seal can be achieved at the connection between the bottom shell 401 and the top cover 402.

[0113] In some embodiments, one of the inlet 400a and the outlet 400b is located on the radial side of the housing 40, and the other is located on the axial side of the housing 40.

[0114] For example, the inlet 400a is located on the side of the housing 40 near the lower tray, while the outlet 400b is located on the side of the housing 40 near the condensate box 31.

[0115] By placing the inlet 400a and outlet 400b on the radial and axial sides of the housing 40 respectively, i.e., 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 condensate box 31, 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.

[0116] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the inlet 400a is larger than the inner diameter of the outlet 400b.

[0117] For example, the inlet 400a and the outlet 400b are circular. The inner diameter of the inlet 400a is the same as the diameter of the circular inlet 400a, and the inner diameter of the outlet 400b is the same as the diameter of the circular outlet 400b.

[0118] By setting the inner diameter of the inlet 400a to be larger than the inner diameter of the outlet 400b, during the operation of the ultrasonic generator 400, the flow rate of condensate entering the housing 40 from the inlet 400a is relatively high, while the flow rate exiting the housing 40 from the outlet 400b is relatively low. In this way, a portion of condensate is always buffered inside the housing 40 for atomization to generate water mist.

[0119] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the housing 100 includes a box 10, and the box 10 is provided with a loading port 10a.

[0120] By providing a dispensing port 10a on the housing 10, clothes can be dispensed from the dispensing port 10a into the drying drum 200 inside the housing 10.

[0121] In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a door (not shown), which is movably connected to the housing 10 and can move relative to the housing 10 to open or close the delivery port 10a.

[0122] The door is movably connected to the housing 10. When the door moves relative to the housing 10 to open the loading port 10a, clothes can be loaded into the drying drum 200 inside the housing 10 through the loading port 10a, or the user can remove clothes from the drying drum 200 through the loading port 10a. When the clothing handling equipment 1000 is running, the door can close the loading port 10a to ensure the reliable operation of the clothing handling equipment 1000.

[0123] In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a support member 11 disposed within the housing 10 and located between the dryer tub 200 and the dispensing port 10a. The support member 11 has an opening 11a communicating between the dryer tub 200 and the dispensing port 10a.

[0124] By providing a support member 11 inside the housing 10, the support member 11 can be used to install the water box and the ultrasonic generator 400. On the other hand, the support member 11 connects the drying tub 200 and the loading port 10a through its opening 11a, allowing the support member 11 to avoid obstructing the movement of clothes, so that clothes can smoothly enter the drying tub 200 from the loading port 10a, and clothes in the drying tub 200 can be taken out from the loading port 10a.

[0125] In some embodiments, the housing 40 is disposed on the support member 11.

[0126] In some embodiments, the housing 40 is located on the side of the cabinet door facing the drying tub 200.

[0127] By providing multiple different installation positions for the housing 40, the garment processing equipment 1000 can select the installation position of the housing 40 according to the actual situation, thereby placing the ultrasonic generator 400 on the support member 11 or the door.

[0128] In some embodiments, the housing 40 is disposed on the side of the support 11 facing the dryer 200, and the spray nozzle 400c is disposed facing the dryer 200.

[0129] By placing the housing 40 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.

[0130] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the housing 40 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 penetrates the two opposite sides of the support member 11 to connect the spray nozzle 400c and the dryer tub 200.

[0131] By positioning the housing 40 on the side of the support 11 away from the drying tub 200, interference between the drying tub 200 and the housing 40 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.

[0132] In some embodiments, the housing 40 is provided with a second seal, which is disposed around the spray nozzle 400c, and the side of the second seal opposite to the housing 40 at least partially abuts against the side of the support 11 opposite to the dryer tub 200.

[0133] By surrounding the spray nozzle 400c and pressing the second seal between the housing 40 and the support member 11, the second 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.

[0134] The above provides a detailed description of a garment processing device disclosed in this application. This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the garment processing device and its core ideas in this application.
