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] To cope with limitations such as time and weather, using a clothes dryer has become a common choice for drying clothes. Clothes dryers can dry clothes quickly and efficiently, even on rainy days, eliminating the need for sunlight.

[0003] Furthermore, some dryers are now equipped with atomizers, which use the condensate produced when the dryer is drying clothes as the water source for the atomizer. The atomizer can use the condensate to produce water mist, so that water molecules can penetrate into the clothing fibers during the drying process, keeping the clothes fluffy after drying and removing wrinkles.

[0004] However, the amount of condensate water produced by the dryer during operation is far greater than the amount of water required for the ultrasonic generator to produce water mist. If the condensate water is directly supplied to the ultrasonic generator, the excess condensate water cannot be discharged. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application discloses a garment processing device. A first flow channel is formed by welding a cover. Condensed water is diverted to an ultrasonic generator and a water collection box. The condensed water entering the ultrasonic generator is used to generate water mist, while the excess condensed water is stored in the water collection box and discharged.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a garment processing device, comprising:

[0007] chassis;

[0008] A clothes drying drum, which is rotatably disposed within the housing;

[0009] A heat pump system, wherein the heat pump system is disposed within the housing;

[0010] A water box, located in the housing, is used to collect condensate generated by the heat pump system;

[0011] The water box includes a water holding box and a condensate box. The water holding box is detachably mounted on the top of the housing, and the condensate box is mounted on the bottom of the housing. The condensate box is connected to the water holding box. The condensate box is used to collect the condensate generated by the heat pump system and pump the condensate to the water holding box.

[0012] The garment processing equipment also includes:

[0013] An ultrasonic generator is disposed inside the housing. The ultrasonic generator has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the condensate box, and the outlet is connected to the condensate box. The ultrasonic generator is used to receive condensate pumped from the condensate box through the inlet, and to generate water mist in the dryer drum using the condensate. It is also used to discharge unused condensate to the condensate box through the outlet.

[0014] The water tank also includes:

[0015] The lower tray is disposed on the housing and connected to the water inlet. The lower tray is used to discharge condensate to the water inlet.

[0016] The cover is connected to the lower tray and is fused together to form a first flow channel. The first flow channel is used to connect the condensate box, the water container and the lower tray to receive the condensate pumped by the condensate box and deliver it to the water container and the lower tray.

[0017] The condensate generated by the heat pump system is collected in a condensate box and pumped to the cover. The condensate is then diverted to the ultrasonic generator and the water collection box via a first flow channel in the cover. The condensate entering the ultrasonic generator is used to generate water mist, while any excess condensate is stored in the water collection box and discharged. Furthermore, the first flow channel is formed by fusion bonding, improving the reliability of its placement on the cover. This simplifies the molding process of the first flow channel, reduces the assembly difficulty of the water box, and lowers the risk of leakage.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the first flow channel has a first interface, a second interface, and a third interface that are interconnected. The first interface is connected to the condensate box and is used to receive condensate pumped by the condensate box. The second interface is connected to the water container and the third interface is connected to the lower tray.

[0019] The first interface is connected to the condensate box, which can receive the condensate pumped by the condensate box and divert it to the second and third interfaces, so that it flows to the water container and the lower tray box respectively through the second and third interfaces.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the first interface is connected to the condensate box via a first flexible tube, and the cover is provided with a first guide groove, which is provided corresponding to the first interface and is used to accommodate at least a portion of the first flexible tube.

[0021] By accommodating at least part of the first hose through the first guide groove, the first hose can be protected while reducing the difficulty of connecting the first hose to the first delivery pipe, thus making the assembly process easier.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the water container is nested within the lower tray, and the water container is detachably disposed relative to the lower tray.

[0023] By nesting the water tank within the lower tray, the space occupied by the water tank can be reduced. Furthermore, the water tank can be detached from the lower tray to drain any condensate, making it convenient for users to clean regularly.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the lower tray has a receiving cavity and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity, and the water container can be moved relative to the lower tray through the opening into or outside the receiving cavity.

[0025] The water container can be moved into the receiving cavity through the opening to complete the assembly of the water container and the lower tray. When it is necessary to pour out the condensate in the water container, the water container can be moved out of the receiving cavity through the opening. The assembly and disassembly of the water container is relatively simple.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, the lower tray is provided with a water-blocking part. The first space of the lower tray located on one side of the water-blocking part is used to receive the condensate transported by the first flow channel and flow to the second space of the lower tray located on the other side of the water-blocking part. The lower tray is provided with a water outlet pipe that communicates with the second space. The water outlet pipe is connected to the water inlet to discharge the condensate to the water inlet.

[0027] By blocking the condensate, the flow rate of the condensate received in the first space to the second space is slowed down, thereby reducing the speed at which the condensate is discharged from the outlet pipe. This allows the condensate to be atomized by the ultrasonic generator as much as possible, resulting in a higher utilization rate of the condensate.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the lower tray is provided with a water outlet pipe, which is connected to the water inlet to discharge the condensate received by the lower tray to the water inlet.

[0029] The inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe near the lower tray is larger than the inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe near the water inlet.

[0030] The inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe near the lower tray is larger than the inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe near the inlet. The water outlet pipe is roughly funnel-shaped, and the inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe that connects to the inside of the lower tray is larger. This can prevent condensate from forming water droplets and causing blockage due to surface tension, and slow down the flow of condensate from the water outlet pipe to the inlet. This effectively ensures that a sufficient amount of condensate enters the housing through the inlet for use by the ultrasonic generator.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, the water container is provided with a second flow channel, which is located inside the water container and is not connected to the water container. One end of the second flow channel is connected to the condensate box, and the other end of the second flow channel is connected to the lower tray.

[0032] A second flow channel is created by setting up a water collection box, which connects the condensate collection box and the lower tray, allowing the condensate pumped by the condensate collection box to flow to the lower tray. Furthermore, by utilizing the water collection box itself to form the second flow channel, the amount of piping required is reduced, and the overall structure of the water collection box is relatively simple and easy to assemble.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the inner diameter of the end of the second flow channel near the lower tray is larger than the inner diameter of the end of the second flow channel near the water container.

[0034] The inner diameter of the second flow channel near the lower tray is larger than that of the end near the water container. The second flow channel is roughly funnel-shaped, and the inner diameter of the end of the second flow channel that connects to the condensate box is larger. This can prevent condensate from forming water droplets due to surface tension and causing blockage, thus slowing down the flow of condensate from the second flow channel to the lower tray and effectively ensuring that a sufficient amount of condensate enters the lower tray through the second flow channel.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, a first filter component is provided at the connection between the first flow channel and the water container, the first filter component being used to filter the condensate flowing from the first flow channel to the water container, and a second filter component is provided at the connection between the first flow channel and the lower tray, the second filter component being used to filter the condensate flowing from the first flow channel to the lower tray.

[0036] By installing a first filter to filter the condensate, it is possible to prevent impurities such as lint from entering the water collection box with the condensate, thus preventing blockage and contamination. Similarly, by installing a second filter to filter the condensate, it is possible to prevent impurities such as lint from entering the lower tray with the condensate, thus preventing blockage and contamination.

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

[0038] In this embodiment, condensate generated by the heat pump system is collected in a condensate box and pumped to the cover. The condensate is then diverted to the ultrasonic generator and the water collection box via a first flow channel in the cover. The condensate entering the ultrasonic generator is used to generate water mist, while any excess condensate is stored in the water collection box and discharged. Furthermore, the first flow channel is formed by fusion bonding, resulting in a simple molding process, assembly, and low risk of leakage. Attached Figure Description

[0061] The technical solutions of the 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.

[0062] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "middle," "vertical," "horizontal," "lateral," and "longitudinal" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0063] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0064] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0065] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, elements, or components. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0066] Before explaining the technical solution of this application, the inventive concept of this application will be explained first.

[0067] Figure 1 This 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.

[0068] 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, which facilitates rapid drying. The condensate produced 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 inside.

[0069] 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.

[0070] Since the ultrasonic generator 400 can use the condensate in the condensate box 31 as the water source when generating water mist, and the amount of condensate generated by the dryer during operation is much greater than the amount of water required by the ultrasonic generator 400 to generate water mist, if the condensate is directly supplied to the ultrasonic generator 400, the excess condensate cannot be discharged.

[0071] In summary, when the garment processing device 1000 in the related technology is equipped with an ultrasonic generator 400 and uses condensate to generate water mist, there is a problem that the amount of condensate generated exceeds the amount of water required by the ultrasonic generator 400 to generate water mist, and a portion of this water cannot be discharged.

[0072] 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.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the garment processing equipment 1000 includes a housing 100.

[0074] 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.

[0075] In some embodiments, the clothing processing device 1000 further includes a drying drum 200, which is rotatably disposed within the housing 100.

[0076] 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.

[0077] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 1000 further includes a heat pump system disposed within the housing 100.

[0078] 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.

[0079] 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.

[0080] 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.

[0081] In some embodiments, the water box includes a water container 30, which is detachably disposed on the top of the housing 100.

[0082] 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.

[0083] In some embodiments, the water box includes a condensate box 31, which is located at the bottom of the housing 100 and is connected to the water container 30. The condensate box 31 is used to collect the condensate generated by the heat pump system and pump the condensate to the water container 30.

[0084] 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.

[0085] 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.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the garment processing equipment 1000 also includes an ultrasonic generator 400, which is located inside the housing 100.

[0087] 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.

[0088] The ultrasonic generator 400 generates water mist, which is then sprayed into the drying drum 200. In this way, during the drying process, water molecules can penetrate into the clothing fibers, keeping the clothes fluffy after drying and thus removing wrinkles.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the ultrasonic generator 400 has a water inlet 400a, which is connected to the condensate box 31. The ultrasonic generator 400 is used to receive the condensate pumped by the condensate box 31 through the water inlet 400a and use the condensate to generate water mist in the dryer tub 200.

[0090] In this way, the ultrasonic generator 400 receives the condensate pumped by the condensate box 31 through the water inlet 400a. The condensate enters the ultrasonic generator 400 and can be used by the ultrasonic generator 400 to generate water mist in the drying drum 200.

[0091] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 400 has an outlet 400b connected to a condensate box 31, and the ultrasonic generator 400 is used to discharge unused condensate into the condensate box 31 through the outlet 400b.

[0092] In this way, 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.

[0093] Furthermore, after the condensate enters the ultrasonic generator 400 from the inlet 400a, the un-atomized portion is discharged from the outlet 400b. Therefore, the ultrasonic generator 400 can be designed without a cavity to store the condensate, thus saving this cavity and reducing the overall volume of the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the water box includes a lower tray 32, which is located on the housing 100. The lower tray 32 is connected to the condensate box 31 and the water inlet 400a. The lower tray 32 is used to receive the condensate pumped by the condensate box 31 and discharge the condensate to the water inlet 400a.

[0095] The condensate generated by the heat pump system is collected by the condensate box 31 and pumped to the lower tray 32. In this way, the ultrasonic generator 400 can use the condensate to generate water mist. The water mist enters the drying drum 200, so that the clothes dried by the clothes treatment equipment 1000 can remain fluffy and achieve wrinkle removal.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 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.

[0097] 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.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the lower tray 32 has a receiving cavity 32a.

[0099] By providing a receiving cavity 32a to accommodate the water container 30, the space occupied by the water container 30 can be reduced.

[0100] 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.

[0101] 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.

[0102] In some embodiments, the water box includes a cover 33, which is connected to the lower tray 32.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the cover 33 is welded to form a first flow channel 331, which is used to connect the condensate box 31, the water container 30 and the lower tray 32 to receive the condensate pumped by the condensate box 31 and deliver it to the water container 30 and the lower tray 32.

[0104] The formation of the first flow channel 331 in the cover 33 refers to the use of a fusion molding method when forming the first flow channel 331. Fusion molding is a material forming technology based on the principle of fusion. It is a process of building a three-dimensional entity by fusion molding material layer by layer, similar to a forming method in 3D printing technology. 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 the molten material is piled up on the worktable or the surface of the already formed part according to a pre-designed path and shape, layer by layer, to finally form the required part shape.

[0105] A first flow channel 331 is formed by welding the cover 33 together. This first flow channel 331 connects the condensate box 31, the water container 30, and the lower tray 32, allowing condensate pumped by the condensate box 31 to be distributed to the water container 30 and the lower tray 32. Furthermore, forming the first flow channel 331 by welding improves the reliability of its placement on the cover 33, thereby simplifying the molding process of the first flow channel 331, reducing the assembly difficulty of the water container, and lowering the risk of leakage.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first flow channel 331 has a first interface 331a, a second interface 331b and a third interface 331c that are interconnected. The first interface 331a is connected to the condensate box 31 and is used to receive condensate pumped by the condensate box 31. The second interface 331b is connected to the water container 30 and the third interface 331c is connected to the lower tray 32.

[0107] The first interface 331a is connected to the condensate box 31. The first interface 331a can receive the condensate pumped by the condensate box 31 and divert it to the second interface 331b and the third interface 331c, so that it flows to the water container 30 and the lower tray 32 respectively through the second interface 331b and the third interface 331c.

[0108] In some embodiments, the first interface 331a is connected to the condensate box 31 through a first hose, and the cover 33 is provided with a first guide groove 33a, which is provided corresponding to the first interface 331a. The first guide groove 33a is used to accommodate at least part of the first hose.

[0109] By accommodating at least part of the first hose through the first guide groove 33a, the third hose can be protected while reducing the difficulty of connecting the first hose to the first interface 331a, thus making the assembly process easier.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, 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.

[0111] 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.

[0112] 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 inlet 400a. The water outlet pipe 321 is roughly funnel-shaped, and the inner diameter of the end of the water outlet pipe 321 that connects to the interior of the lower tray 32 is larger. This can prevent the condensate from forming water droplets due to tension and causing blockage, thus slowing down the flow of condensate from the water outlet pipe 321 to the inlet 400a. This ensures that a sufficient amount of condensate can enter through the inlet 400a for use by the ultrasonic generator 400.

[0113] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the lower tray 32 is provided with a water-blocking part 32c. The first space in the lower tray 32 located on one side of the water-blocking part 32c (e.g., the side away from the opening 32b) is used to receive the condensate water transported by the first flow channel 331 and to allow the condensate water to flow into the second space in the lower tray 32 located on the other side of the water-blocking part 32c (e.g., the side near the opening 32b). The lower tray 32 is provided with a water outlet pipe 321 that connects to the second space. The water outlet pipe 321 is connected to the water inlet 400a to discharge the condensate water into the water inlet 400a.

[0114] 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.

[0115] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the water container 30 is provided with a second flow channel 30a. The second flow channel 30a is located inside the water container 30 and is not connected to the inside of the water container 30. One end of the second flow channel 30a is connected to the condensate box 31, and the other end of the second flow channel 30a is connected to the lower tray box 32.

[0116] For example, the second flow channel 30a is not connected to the water collection box 30, meaning that the condensate in the second flow channel 30a will not flow into the water collection box 30. The second flow channel 30a can be installed through the water collection box 30.

[0117] A second flow channel 30a is provided in the water container 30, which connects the condensate container 31 and the lower support box 32, allowing the condensate pumped by the condensate container 31 to flow to the lower support box 32. Furthermore, by using the water container 30 itself to form the second flow channel 30a, the number of pipes can be reduced, the overall structure of the water container is relatively simple, and the assembly difficulty is low.

[0118] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the end of the second flow channel 30a near the lower tray 32 is larger than the inner diameter of the end of the second flow channel 30a near the water container 30.

[0119] 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.

[0120] The inner diameter of the end of the second flow channel 30a near the lower tray 32 is larger than the inner diameter of the end of the second flow channel 30a near the water container 30. The second flow channel 30a is roughly funnel-shaped, and the inner diameter of the end of the second flow channel 30a that connects to the condensate box 31 is larger. This can prevent the condensate from forming water droplets due to surface tension and causing blockage, thus slowing down the flow of condensate from the second flow channel 30a to the lower tray 32. This effectively ensures that a sufficient amount of condensate enters the lower tray 32 through the second flow channel 30a.

[0121] In some embodiments, a first filter element 301 is provided at the connection between the first flow channel 331 and the water container 30.

[0122] By setting the first filter component 301 to filter the condensate, it is possible to prevent impurities such as lint from entering the water collection box 30 with the condensate, thus avoiding blockage and contamination of the water collection box 30.

[0123] For example, the first filter element 301 can be a filter screen, filter cotton, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0124] In some embodiments, a second filter element 302 is provided at the connection between the first flow channel 331 and the lower tray 32.

[0125] By setting a second filter component 302 to filter the condensate, it is possible to prevent impurities such as lint from entering the lower tray 32 with the condensate, thus avoiding blockage and contamination of the lower tray 32.

[0126] For example, the second filter element 302 can be a filter screen, filter cotton, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit it.
