Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, and in particular to a clothing processing device. Background Technology
[0002] Clothing dryers, washer-dryer combos, and other garment processing devices are household or commercial appliances that utilize mechanical, electronic, and thermodynamic technologies to clean, dry, and care for clothing. As consumers' living standards improve, their demands for garment processing devices are also increasing.
[0003] Clothing handling devices typically consist of a housing and a drum assembly. The drum assembly is located inside the housing and includes an outer drum and an inner drum. The inner drum is rotatably mounted inside the outer drum, forming a clothing handling chamber. A drying air duct is formed inside the housing; both ends of the drying air duct are connected to the clothing handling chamber, and a heater is installed inside the drying air duct to create a drying airflow circulation within the drying air duct and the clothing handling chamber, thereby achieving the clothing drying function within the clothing handling chamber.
[0004] Clothing handling devices with drying functions typically include a heat pump system. This system comprises a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser. The evaporator cools the airflow by condensing it, while the condenser heats it. As the airflow passes over the evaporator and condenser, lint easily adheres to the surfaces, making it difficult to clean. This accumulation of lint on the evaporator and condenser surfaces creates excessive air resistance, affecting airflow and thus drying efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clothing treatment device to improve the cleaning effect on the evaporator.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a clothing processing device is provided, comprising: a housing forming the outer shell of the clothing processing device; a cylindrical assembly disposed within the housing, the cylindrical assembly having a clothing processing chamber formed therein; an air inlet and an air return outlet respectively provided on the outer wall of the cylindrical assembly communicating with the clothing processing chamber; a mounting base disposed above the cylindrical assembly; the mounting base having two chambers respectively communicating with the air inlet and the air return outlet; an evaporator disposed within the two chambers and located on the side near the air return outlet; and a condenser disposed within... The two chambers are located within the evaporator and are situated on the side near the air inlet. A spray device is located within the mounting base and is situated on the side of the evaporator near the return air inlet. The spray device has spray nozzles with downward-facing openings. The spray nozzles are spaced apart above the top of one side edge of the evaporator. The vertical direction of the clothing treatment device, from top to bottom, is the first direction. A portion of the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle in the first direction is located on the top surface of the evaporator, and another portion of the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle in the first direction extends beyond the side of the evaporator near the return air inlet.
[0008] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: The two chambers can be connected to the clothing processing chamber through air inlets and return air outlets respectively, thereby forming a drying air duct to achieve the drying treatment of clothing. The evaporator can condense and cool the humid air, causing the moisture in the humid air to condense on the evaporator surface, thus removing the moisture from the humid air. The condenser can heat the dry, cold air to form dry, hot air. When the spray device sprays water through the spray nozzles, the spray device can spray downwards towards the evaporator to rinse it, allowing the lint adhering to the evaporator to be washed to the bottom of the evaporator and discharged through the bottom of the two chambers. By arranging a portion of the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle in the first direction on the top surface of the evaporator, and another portion of the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle in the first direction extending beyond the side of the evaporator near the return air inlet, the spray nozzle can spray simultaneously toward the top surface and side wall of the evaporator. This allows the lint adhering to the top and side wall of the evaporator to be washed downwards and fall to the bottom of the two chambers, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the evaporator.
[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the ratio of the width of the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle on the top surface of the evaporator to the total width of the spray nozzle is greater than 1 / 3 in the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle in the first direction.
[0010] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by having a ratio greater than 1 / 3, it can be ensured that when water is sprayed downwards from the spray nozzle, part of the water sprayed from the spray nozzle can wash the top surface of the evaporator, while another part of the water sprayed from the spray nozzle can wash the side surface of the evaporator. If the ratio is less than 1 / 3, the amount of water sprayed from the spray nozzle onto the top surface of the evaporator is insufficient, and the top surface of the evaporator cannot be thoroughly cleaned.
[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the spray device is located on the edge of the two chambers near the return air inlet, and the evaporator is arranged adjacent to and spaced apart from the spray device.
[0012] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by arranging the evaporator and the spray device adjacent to each other and spaced apart, the spray device can spray and rinse the evaporator nearby, thereby optimizing the structural layout of the two chambers.
[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the spray device includes: a spray housing, which is spaced apart above the top surface of the evaporator, and a spray channel is formed inside the spray housing; an isolation grid, which is located at the bottom of the spray housing and spaced apart on the side of the evaporator near the return air inlet; air in the clothing processing chamber can flow sequentially through the return air inlet and the isolation grid before flowing to the evaporator; a portion of the bottom surface of the spray housing extends beyond the isolation grid toward the top surface of the evaporator, and a spray nozzle is located on the bottom surface of the extended portion of the spray housing, the spray nozzle communicating with the spray channel.
[0014] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By arranging the spray housings at intervals above the top surface of the evaporator, external water can enter the spray channel and then be sprayed downwards onto the evaporator surface through the spray nozzles, cleaning the lint and debris from the evaporator surface. By periodically installing isolation grilles on the side of the evaporator near the return air inlet, the grilles partially block lint and debris from flowing into the evaporator, preventing users from touching the evaporator surface through this area and thus avoiding safety accidents.
[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the spray housing includes: a spray bottom shell connected to the top of the isolation fence; a spray cover covering the top of the spray bottom shell; a spray channel formed between the spray bottom shell and the spray cover; and a spray nozzle disposed on the bottom surface of the spray bottom shell.
[0016] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By connecting the spray bottom shell to the isolation grid and splicing the spray cover to the spray bottom shell to form a spray channel, it is beneficial to simplify the manufacturing mold of the spray device and reduce the production cost of the spray device.
[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the spray housing extends along the length of the evaporator; a plurality of spray nozzles are provided on the bottom surface of the spray housing, and the plurality of spray nozzles are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the evaporator.
[0018] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: multiple spray nozzles can be arranged on the spray shell, and the multiple spray nozzles can be arranged sequentially and at intervals along the length of the evaporator, so that the multiple spray nozzles can spray different areas of the evaporator surface, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the evaporator surface.
[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the side wall of the spray nozzle near the evaporator is a first inclined wall, which is arranged inclined downward from the top port of the spray nozzle toward the direction of the isolation grid in a first direction.
[0020] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by arranging the first inclined wall at an angle toward the isolation grid, when the spray nozzle sprays water toward the top surface of the evaporator, the lint on the top surface of the evaporator can fall toward the side wall of the evaporator, making it easier for the lint on the surface of the evaporator to fall off, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect on the surface of the evaporator.
[0021] In some embodiments of this application, a pipe interface is provided on the outer wall of the spray housing, and the pipe interface is connected to the spray channel; the clothing treatment device includes a water inlet valve; the pipe interface is exposed on the mounting base and is used to connect the water inlet valve.
[0022] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by exposing the pipe interface to the mounting base, it is easy to connect the pipe interface to the valve port of the water inlet valve through the pipeline, thereby facilitating the supply of water to the inside of the spray channel.
[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting base includes: a base disposed above the top of the cylinder assembly; a top cover covering the top surface of the base; the two chambers enclosed between the base and the top cover; a positioning post protruding from the bottom surface of the top cover, and a positioning groove recessed from the top surface of the spray housing, wherein the positioning post is aligned and engaged within the positioning groove.
[0024] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by aligning and engaging the positioning pins with the positioning grooves, the spray device can be fixed on the top cover. When water flows in the spray channel, it can prevent the water flow from impacting the spray housing, causing the spray housing to shake, thereby avoiding affecting the spray angle and spray range of the spray nozzles.
[0025] According to another aspect of the present invention, a clothing processing device is also provided, comprising: a housing forming the outer shell of the clothing processing device; a cylindrical assembly disposed within the housing, the cylindrical assembly having a clothing processing chamber formed therein; an air inlet and an air return outlet communicating with the clothing processing chamber respectively provided on the outer wall of the cylindrical assembly; a mounting base disposed above the cylindrical assembly; the mounting base having two chambers; the two chambers communicating with the air inlet and the air return outlet respectively; and an evaporator disposed within the housing. The evaporator is located within the two chambers and is positioned near the return air inlet; the condenser is located within the two chambers and is positioned near the air inlet; the spray device is located within the mounting base and is positioned on the side of the evaporator near the return air inlet; the spray device has spray nozzles with downward-facing openings; wherein the spray nozzles are spaced apart above the top of one side edge of the evaporator, and when the spray nozzles spray water downwards, the spray nozzles can simultaneously spray water towards the side wall and the top surface of the evaporator.
[0026] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: When the spray device sprays water through the spray nozzle, it can spray and rinse the evaporator downwards, allowing the lint adhering to the evaporator to be washed to the bottom of the evaporator and discharged through the bottom of the two chambers. The spray nozzle can simultaneously spray water towards the top surface and side walls of the evaporator, allowing the lint adhering to the top and side walls to be washed downwards and fall to the bottom of the two chambers, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the evaporator.

[0051] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a clothing processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of the internal structure of a clothing processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the garment processing device provided in this embodiment of the present invention may include a housing 1. The housing 1 may be constructed as the outer shell of the garment processing device. The housing 1 may typically have a hollow cuboid structure. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the external shape of the housing 1 may be designed as needed, and is not limited here. The interior of the housing 1 may be used to provide installation space.
[0053] In some embodiments, a clothing inlet (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the front side wall of the housing 1. This clothing inlet can connect to the internal space of the housing 1. Clothes can be placed into the housing 1 through the clothing inlet for washing.
[0054] Please see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a door 11 may be provided on the front side wall of the box body 1. The door 11 can be used to open and close the clothing inlet on the front side wall of the box body 1, thereby opening and closing the space inside the box body 1 through the door 11.
[0055] In some embodiments, the door 11 and the body 1 can be connected by a hinge, and the door 11 can rotate around the axis of the hinge, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the door 11 and opening and closing the clothing inlet.
[0056] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, in some embodiments, the garment handling device may include a tubular assembly 2. The tubular assembly 2 may be disposed within the housing 1. The tubular assembly 2 may extend along the front-rear direction of the housing 1. A garment handling chamber 20 may be formed within the tubular assembly 2. A tubular opening may be formed on the front end face of the tubular assembly 2. This tubular opening communicates with the interior of the garment handling chamber 20. This tubular opening is directly opposite the garment inlet and the door 11 of the housing 1. When the door 11 is opened, garments can be sequentially placed into the garment handling chamber 20 within the tubular assembly 2 through the garment inlet at the front of the housing 1 and the tubular opening at the front end of the tubular assembly 2 for washing, dehydration, and other operations. When the housing 1 is closed, the housing 1 can simultaneously close the garment inlet and the garment handling chamber 20.
[0057] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.
[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the tub assembly 2 may include an outer tub 21. The outer tub 21 may be disposed inside the housing 1. The outer tub 21 may be configured as a tub for containing washing water. The internal space of the outer tub 21 can be used to hold washing liquids, such as water, detergent, fabric softener, etc.
[0059] In some embodiments, the tubular assembly 2 may include an inner tubing 22. The inner tubing 22 may be disposed inside the outer tubing 21. A clothes handling chamber 20 may be formed inside the inner tubing 22. The clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tubing 22 is used to hold clothes to be washed. A water passage hole (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the peripheral wall of the inner tubing 22. The clothes handling chamber 20 can connect the space between the inner tubing 22 and the outer tubing 21 through the water passage hole. The washing liquid in the outer tubing 21 can enter the clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tubing 22 through the water passage hole, that is, the washing liquid in the space between the inner tubing 22 and the outer tubing 21 can enter the clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tubing 22 through the water passage hole.
[0060] In some embodiments, the inner drum 22 may be rotatably disposed inside the outer drum 21. When the inner drum 22 rotates relative to the outer drum 21, the inner drum 22 can drive the clothes to rotate relative to the outer drum 21, thereby realizing the washing function of the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 20 of the inner drum 22 and improving the uniformity of washing and dehydration of the clothes.
[0061] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the clothing processing chamber 20 can also be used to dry clothes, such as in a dryer or washer-dryer combo.
[0062] In some embodiments, the outer cylinder 21 and the inner cylinder 22 may also be arranged coaxially inside and outside. The front end of the outer cylinder 21 and the front end of the inner cylinder 22 may be provided with openings arranged opposite to each other. The front end opening of the outer cylinder 21 and the front end opening of the inner cylinder 22 can be combined to form the cylinder opening of the cylinder assembly 2.
[0063] In some embodiments, the tubular assembly 2 may include a door seal ring 23. The door seal ring 23 may be disposed at the front opening of the tubular assembly 2. The door seal ring 23 may be an annular structure. The door seal ring 23 may be made of an elastic sealing material. The door seal ring 23 is arranged around the periphery of the clothing inlet and the periphery of the opening of the tubular assembly 2. The periphery of the front end of the door seal ring 23 is sealed to the periphery of the clothing inlet of the housing 1, and the periphery of the rear end of the door seal ring 23 is sealed to the periphery of the opening of the outer tubular 21, thereby sealing the gap between the clothing inlet of the housing 1 and the opening of the outer tubular 21. Thus, when the door 11 closes the clothing inlet at the front of the housing 1, the door 11 can seal against the door seal ring 23. The door seal ring 23 can prevent water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from entering the housing 1, while the door 11 can prevent water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from overflowing from the clothing inlet of the housing 1.
[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the cylinder assembly 2 may be provided with an air inlet 201 and an air return outlet 202. The air inlet 201 and the air return outlet 202 may be connected to the clothing processing chamber 20. Drying air can enter the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes inside the clothing processing chamber 20. During the drying process, the drying air can remove moisture from the clothes, thereby forming hot and humid air, which can be discharged from the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air return outlet 202, thus realizing the clothing drying function.
[0065] In some embodiments, the air inlet 201 and the air return outlet 202 may be respectively located at the front and rear ends of the cylindrical assembly 2. The air inlet 201 may be located on the outer wall of the front end of the cylindrical assembly 2. The air inlet 201 may be located at the door seal ring 23. The air return outlet 202 may be located on the outer wall of the rear end of the cylindrical assembly 2. The air inlet 201 connects to the front end of the clothing processing chamber 20, and the air return outlet 202 connects to the rear end of the clothing processing chamber 20.
[0066] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the air inlet 201 may also be located on the outer wall of the rear end of the tubular assembly 2, thereby connecting to the rear end of the clothing processing chamber 20. The air return outlet 202 may also be located on the outer wall of the front end of the tubular assembly 2, thereby connecting to the front end of the clothing processing chamber 20.
[0067] Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the mounting base 3. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.
[0068] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the garment processing device may include a mounting base 3. Two cavities 30 are formed within the mounting base 3. The two cavities 30 can be respectively connected to an air inlet 201 and an air return outlet 202, thereby forming a drying air duct within the mounting base 3. The drying air duct is connected to the garment processing chamber 20, thereby forming a drying air circulation.
[0069] For example, the dry hot air (i.e., drying air) generated in the two chambers 30 can enter the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes. The humid hot air generated in the clothing processing chamber 20 can return to the two chambers 30 through the return air inlet 202, be condensed and dehumidified, and then reheated to form dry hot air, which then re-enters the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes, thus realizing the circulation of drying air.
[0070] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A partial structural diagram. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.
[0071] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment handling device may include a heat pump system. The heat pump system may include a compressor 14, a condenser 12, and an evaporator 13. The compressor 14, condenser 12, and evaporator 13 may be connected sequentially via piping. For example, the outlet of the compressor 14 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 12, the outlet of the condenser 12 is connected to the inlet of the evaporator 13, and the outlet of the evaporator 13 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 14, thus creating a refrigerant circulation channel within the compressor 14, condenser 12, and evaporator 13. After being compressed by the compressor 14, the refrigerant enters the condenser 12, causing the condenser 12 to heat up, thereby heating the air surrounding it. The refrigerant in the condenser 12 flows into the evaporator 13, allowing the evaporator 13 to absorb heat, thereby condensing and cooling the air surrounding it.
[0072] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the evaporator 13 can also be replaced by other condensing devices, such as a water condenser, which can also condense and cool the surrounding air.
[0073] In some other embodiments, the condenser 12 may be replaced by other heating devices, such as an electric heater, which can also heat the surrounding air.
[0074] In some embodiments, the evaporator 13 may be disposed within the mounting base 3. The evaporator 13 may be disposed within the two chambers 30. The evaporator 13 may be disposed on the side of the two chambers 30 near the return air inlet 202. When humid and hot air from the clothing processing chamber 20 enters the two chambers 30 through the return air inlet 202, the humid and hot air can contact the evaporator 13 and exchange heat. The evaporator 13 condenses and cools the humid and hot air, causing the moisture in the humid and hot air to condense on the surface of the evaporator 13, thereby removing the moisture from the humid and hot air. In this way, the humid and hot air entering the two chambers 30 can be condensed by the evaporator 13 to form dry and cold air.
[0075] In some embodiments, the condenser 12 may be disposed within the mounting base 3. The condenser 12 may be disposed within the two chambers 30. The condenser 12 may be disposed on the side of the two chambers 30 closest to the air inlet 201. After the humid, hot air entering the two chambers 30 is condensed by the evaporator 13 to form dry, cold air, the dry, cold air can contact the condenser 12 and exchange heat, using the condenser 12 to heat the dry, cold air to form dry, hot air. Thus, the condenser 12 can be used to form dry, hot air within the two chambers 30, and then this dry, hot air can be introduced into the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes, achieving the clothing drying function.
[0076] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, air inlets 311 and air outlets 312 can be formed on opposite sides of the mounting base 3, respectively. Air inlets 311 and air outlets 312 can connect to opposite sides of the two chambers 30, respectively. Air inlet 311 can be connected to the return air inlet 202 of the cylinder assembly 2. Air outlet 312 can be connected to the air inlet 201 of the cylinder assembly 2. Thus, the clothing processing chamber 20 can be connected to the two chambers 30 via the return air inlet 202 and air inlet 311. The two chambers 30 can be connected to the clothing processing chamber 20 via the air outlet 312 and air inlet 201. The humid and hot air in the clothing processing chamber 20 can sequentially enter the two chambers 30 through the return air inlet 202 and air inlet 311, be condensed by the evaporator 13 and heated by the condenser 12, and then sequentially return to the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air outlet 312 and air inlet 201 to dry the clothes in the clothing processing chamber 20.
[0077] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the evaporator 13 and the condenser 12 can be arranged adjacent to each other in the two chambers 30. The evaporator 13 can be located on the side of the condenser 12 near the air inlet 311 and the air return outlet 202. The condenser 12 can be located on the side of the evaporator 13 near the air outlet 312 and the air inlet 201.
[0078] Figure 8 yes Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of the spray device 33, the evaporator 13 and the condenser 12.
[0079] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a spray device 33 may be provided within the mounting base 3. The spray device 33 may be arranged within the two chambers 30. The spray device 33 may be located on one side of the evaporator 13. The spray device 33 may be located on the side of the evaporator 13 near the air inlet 311. The spray device 33 may spray towards the surface of the evaporator 13, and the spray device 33 may be used to clean the surface of the evaporator 13. In this way, the humid and hot air in the clothing processing chamber 20 will carry a certain amount of lint into the two chambers 30. When the humid and hot air condenses on the surface of the evaporator 13, a certain amount of lint will adhere to the surface of the evaporator 13. If the lint on the surface of the evaporator 13 is not cleaned in time, it will affect the drying airflow and drying efficiency. The spray device 33 can wash away the lint on the surface of the evaporator 13 to avoid affecting the drying airflow and drying efficiency.
[0080] In some embodiments, the spray device 33 may be arranged on one side edge of the two chambers 30 near the air inlet 311 and the air return outlet 202. The evaporator 13 may be arranged adjacent to and spaced apart from the spray device 33. In this way, the spray device 33 can spray and rinse the evaporator 13 nearby, thereby optimizing the structural layout of the two chambers 30.
[0081] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a lint filter 34 may be provided inside the mounting base 3. The lint filter 34 may be located on the side of the spray device 33 near the air inlet 311. The lint filter 34 may also be located on the side of the spray device 33 away from the evaporator 13. A filter screen may be provided inside the lint filter 34. In this way, when the humid and hot air in the clothing processing chamber 20 enters the two chambers 30 through the air inlet 311, it will first be filtered by the lint filter 34 before entering the two chambers 30 and contacting the evaporator 13. The lint filter 34 can filter out most of the lint in the humid and hot air, preventing lint from entering the two chambers 30, thereby reducing the adhesion of lint to the surface of the evaporator 13.
[0082] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting base 3 may include a base 31 and a top cover 32. Two cavities 30 may be disposed on the top surface of the base 31. The top surfaces of the two cavities 30 are open. The top cover 32 may be placed on the top surface of the base 31 and cover the openings on the top surfaces of the two cavities 30. In this way, the two cavities 30 can be sealed between the base 31 and the top cover 32. When the top cover 32 is removed from the base 31, the evaporator 13 and the condenser 12 can be installed into the two cavities 30 respectively.
[0083] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, an air outlet duct 313 may be provided inside the mounting base 3. The air outlet duct 313 may be provided on the base 31. The air outlet duct 313 may be located on one side of the two chambers 30. One end of the air outlet duct 313 may communicate with the two chambers 30. The condenser 12 may be located on the side of the two chambers 30 near the air outlet duct 313. The other end of the air outlet duct 313 may form an air outlet 312. In this way, the dry hot air generated by the condenser 12 in the two chambers 30 can flow out through the air outlet duct 313 and flow into the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201.
[0084] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a fan 3131 may be provided inside the mounting base 3. The fan 3131 may be located inside the air outlet duct 313. The fan 3131 may be located at the end of the air outlet duct 313 that communicates with the two chambers 30. The fan 3131 can be used to provide airflow, and the fan 3131 can actively draw air from the two chambers 30, so that the dry hot air formed in the two chambers 30 can actively flow out through the air outlet duct 313, forming dry hot air. The dry hot air can flow into the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes in the clothing processing chamber 20. In addition, the airflow of the fan 3131 can also cause the humid hot air in the clothing processing chamber 20 to flow out through the return air inlet 202 and return to the two chambers 30 through the air inlet 311.
[0085] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the air inlet 311 of the mounting base 3 can be arranged downwards, while the return air inlet 202 of the cylinder assembly 2 can be arranged upwards. The air inlet 311 can be located above the return air inlet 202. This facilitates vertical connection and communication between the air inlet 311 and the return air inlet 202.
[0086] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, a return air duct 35 can be used between the air inlet 311 of the mounting base 3 and the return air inlet 202 of the cylinder assembly 2. The return air duct 35 can be vertically arranged between the air inlet 311 and the return air inlet 202. The lower end of the return air duct 35 can be sealed and connected to the return air inlet 202. The upper end of the return air duct 35 can be sealed and connected to the air inlet 311. In this way, the air inlet 311 and the return air inlet 202 can be connected vertically by the return air duct 35, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection between the air inlet 311 and the return air inlet 202.
[0087] Figure 9 yes Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of the spray device 33. Figure 10 yes Figure 9 A structural diagram from another perspective.
[0088] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the spray device 33 may have spray nozzles 331 arranged with their openings facing downwards. The spray nozzles 331 may be arranged at intervals above the top of one side edge of the evaporator 13. In this way, the spray device 33 can spray and rinse the evaporator 13 downwards through the spray nozzles 331, so that the lint adhering to the evaporator 13 can be washed to the bottom of the evaporator 13 and discharged through the bottom of the two chambers 30.
[0089] Figure 11 yes Figure 9 A schematic diagram of its decomposition. Figure 12 yes Figure 8 A sectional view. Figure 13 yes Figure 12 A magnified schematic diagram of the central part of the structure.
[0090] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the spray nozzle 331 may be located above the top of the evaporator 13 on the side away from the condenser 12. The direction from top to bottom in the height direction of the clothing treatment device is the first direction. A portion of the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle 331 in the first direction may be located on the top surface of the evaporator 13. Another portion of the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle 331 in the first direction may extend beyond the side of the evaporator 13 near the return air vent 202 and the air inlet 311, or another portion of the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle 331 in the first direction may extend beyond the side of the evaporator 13 away from the condenser 12. In this way, when the spray nozzle 331 sprays water downward, the spray nozzle 331 can spray water simultaneously towards the side wall and the top surface of the evaporator 13, so that the lint adhering to the top and side wall of the evaporator 13 can be washed downward and fall to the bottom of the two chambers 30, thereby facilitating discharge through the bottom of the two chambers 30, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the evaporator 13.
[0091] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the width of the orthographic projection of the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 onto the top surface of the evaporator 13 in the first direction can be X. The overall width of the spray nozzle 331 can be L, where L is the width of the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331. X can satisfy: X / L > 1 / 3. That is, the ratio of the width of the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle 331 onto the top surface of the evaporator 13 to the total width of the spray nozzle 331 is greater than 1 / 3. In this way, it can be ensured that when the spray nozzle 331 sprays water downwards, part of the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 331 can wash the top surface of the evaporator 13, while another part of the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 331 can wash the side surface of the evaporator 13. If X / L is less than 1 / 3, the amount of water sprayed from the spray nozzle 331 onto the top surface of the evaporator 13 is insufficient, and the top surface of the evaporator 13 cannot be thoroughly cleaned.
[0092] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 is arranged horizontally. L can then be the maximum width of the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331, i.e., L is the diameter of the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331.
[0093] In some other embodiments, if the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 is not horizontally arranged, then L can be the maximum width of the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 projected onto the horizontal plane.
[0094] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the point closest to the condenser 12 at the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 can be a first reference point P. The projection of the first reference point P onto the top surface of the evaporator 13 in the first direction can be a second reference point Q. The side of the evaporator 13 near the return air inlet 202 and the air inlet 311 can be a reference surface R. The vertical distance from the second reference point Q to the reference surface R can be the width X of the orthographic projection of the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 onto the top surface of the evaporator 13 in the first direction. The value of width X can be the vertical distance from the second reference point Q to the reference surface R.
[0095] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the value of LX is the width of the portion of the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 that extends beyond the side of the evaporator 13 near the return air inlet 202 in the orthographic projection of the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 in the first direction. That is, the value of LX is the orthographic projection portion of the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 that extends beyond the reference plane R in the orthographic projection of the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 in the first direction.
[0096] like Figure 13As shown, in some embodiments, the distance between the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 and the top surface of the evaporator 13 can be Y. Y can satisfy: Y > 2mm. Thus, by Y > 2mm, there is sufficient distance between the bottom port of the spray nozzle 331 and the top surface of the evaporator 13, allowing the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 331 to disperse in time, ensuring that some of the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 331 can reach the top and sides of the evaporator 13. This helps to increase the area of the top and sides of the evaporator 13 that is reached by the spray nozzle 331, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency of the evaporator 13. If Y is less than 2mm, due to the surface tension of water, the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 331 cannot be dispersed in time, and some of the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 331 cannot be fully sprayed onto the top and sides of the evaporator 13, thus affecting the area of the top and sides of the evaporator 13 that is reached by the spray nozzle 331, thereby affecting the cleaning efficiency and effect of the evaporator 13. Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the spray device 33 may include a spray housing 332. The spray housing 332 may be spaced apart above the top surface of the evaporator 13. A spray channel 330 may be formed inside the spray housing 332. A spray nozzle 331 may be provided on the bottom surface of the spray housing 332. The spray nozzle 331 may communicate with the spray channel 330. In this way, an external water source can enter the spray channel 330 and then be sprayed downwards onto the surface of the evaporator 13 through the spray nozzle 331 to clean the lint on the surface of the evaporator 13.
[0097] In some embodiments, the spray device 33 may include an isolation grid 333. The isolation grid 333 may be disposed at the bottom of the spray housing 332. The top of the isolation grid 333 may be connected to a portion of the bottom surface of the spray housing 332. The spray nozzle 331 may be disposed on another portion of the bottom surface of the spray housing 332. The isolation grid 333 may be spaced apart on the side of the evaporator 13 near the return air inlet 202 and the air inlet 311. The isolation grid 333 may also be spaced apart on the side of the evaporator 13 away from the condenser 12. The isolation grid 333 may have a perforated structure. The isolation grid 333 allows air to flow through it. Air in the clothing processing chamber 20 can flow sequentially through the return air inlet 202 and the air inlet 311, and then through the isolation grid 333 before flowing to the evaporator 13. The isolation barrier 333 can block some of the lint in the air flowing towards the evaporator 13, so that the lint is blocked at the isolation barrier 333, thereby reducing the lint from sticking to the surface of the evaporator 13.
[0098] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the spray device 33 can be located on one side edge of the two chambers 30 near the return air inlet 202, so that the isolation grille 333 can also be located on one side edge of the two chambers 30 near the return air inlet 202. Air in the clothing processing chamber 20 can flow sequentially through the return air inlet 202 and the air inlet 311, and must pass through the isolation grille 333 before entering the two chambers 30. Thus, the isolation grille 333 can block the air inlet of the two chambers 30, preventing users from touching the surface of the evaporator 13 through this area and causing a safety accident.
[0099] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter 34 is detachably disposed on the side of the spray device 33 away from the evaporator 13. When the lint filter 34 is pulled out for cleaning, the user's hand can easily reach into the spray device 33. Therefore, the isolation grille 333 can be used to block this area, which can prevent the user from reaching through this area to touch the surface of the evaporator 13 and causing a safety accident.
[0100] like Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a portion of the bottom surface of the spray housing 332 may extend beyond the isolation grid 333 toward the top surface of the evaporator 13. The spray nozzle 331 may be located on the bottom surface of the extended portion of the spray housing 332. This allows the spray nozzle 331 to be positioned above the top surface of the evaporator 13.
[0101] like Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the spray housing 332 can be arranged in an elongated shape. The spray housing 332 can extend along the length direction of the evaporator 13. Multiple spray nozzles 331 can be provided on the bottom surface of the spray housing 332. The multiple spray nozzles 331 can be arranged sequentially and at intervals along the length direction of the evaporator 13. Thus, multiple spray nozzles 331 can be arranged on the spray housing 332, and by arranging the multiple spray nozzles 331 sequentially and at intervals along the length direction of the evaporator 13, the multiple spray nozzles 331 can spray different areas of the evaporator 13 surface, improving the cleaning effect on the evaporator 13 surface.
[0102] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the spray nozzle 331 can be elongated. The spray nozzle 331 can extend along the length of the evaporator 13. The elongated design of the spray nozzle 331 increases the spray area facing the surface of the evaporator 13, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect on the evaporator 13.
[0103] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the spray nozzle 331 may also be in other shapes such as a round hole or an elliptical hole.
[0104] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the multiple spray nozzles 331 may include first spray nozzles 331a and second spray nozzles 331b of different lengths. Multiple first spray nozzles 331a and multiple second spray nozzles 331b may be provided. The multiple first spray nozzles 331a and multiple second spray nozzles 331b may be arranged alternately along the length of the evaporator 13. By designing different lengths for the first spray nozzles 331a and the second spray nozzles 331b, the water spray volume and spray force of the first spray nozzles 331a and the second spray nozzles 331b can be different; with the multiple first spray nozzles 331a and multiple second spray nozzles 331b alternately arranged, the rinsing effect on the surface of the evaporator 13 can be improved, allowing lint on the surface of the evaporator 13 to be thoroughly rinsed off.
[0105] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the sidewall of the spray nozzle 331 near the evaporator 13 can be a first inclined wall 3311. In a first direction, the first inclined wall 3311 can be arranged inclined downward from the top port of the spray nozzle 331 toward the direction near the isolation grid 333. In this way, when the spray nozzle 331 sprays water toward the top surface of the evaporator 13, the lint on the top surface of the evaporator 13 can fall toward the sidewall of the evaporator 13, making it easier for the lint on the surface of the evaporator 13 to fall off, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect on the surface of the evaporator 13.
[0106] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the sidewall of the spray nozzle 331 near the evaporator 13 can be a second inclined wall 3312. In the first direction, the second inclined wall 3312 can be arranged inclined downwards from the top port of the spray nozzle 331 toward the direction near the evaporator 13. In this way, when the spray nozzle 331 sprays water toward the top surface of the evaporator 13, the water sprayed by the spray nozzle 331 can thoroughly wash away the lint on the side of the evaporator 13, and thoroughly remove the lint from the sidewall of the evaporator 13, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect on the surface of the evaporator 13.
[0107] Figure 14 yes Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of the evaporator 13.
[0108] like Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 14As shown, in some embodiments, the evaporator 13 may include an evaporator tube 131 and evaporator plates 132 sleeved on the evaporator tube 131. Multiple evaporator plates 132 may be provided. Multiple evaporator plates 132 may be arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the evaporator 13. When water is sprayed from the spray nozzle 331 toward the surface of the evaporator 13, the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 331 may be sprayed toward the evaporator plates 132 or toward the gaps between adjacent evaporator plates 132, allowing lint on the evaporator plates 132 to fall out from the gaps between adjacent evaporator plates 132, thereby thoroughly rinsing the lint on the surface of the evaporator 13 and improving the cleaning effect of the evaporator 13 surface.
[0109] like Figure 10 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, multiple evaporator plates 132 can be arranged side by side. The sidewalls of the multiple evaporator plates 132 near the air inlet 311 and the air return port 202 are located on the same plane, thus forming the sidewall of the evaporator 13 near the air return port 202. A portion of the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle 331 in the first direction can be located on the top surface of the evaporator plate 132. Another portion of the orthographic projection of the spray nozzle 331 in the first direction can extend beyond the sidewall of the evaporator plate 132 near the air return port 202 or beyond the sidewall of the evaporator plate 132 away from the condenser 12. In this way, the spray nozzle 331 can simultaneously spray towards the top surface and sidewalls of the multiple evaporator plates 132, allowing lint adhering to the top and sidewalls of the multiple evaporator plates 132 to be washed downwards and fall to the bottom of the two chambers, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the evaporator.
[0110] In some embodiments, the evaporator 13 may be arranged in an elongated shape on one side edge of the two chambers 30 near the air inlet 311. The length direction of the evaporator 13 may be the extension direction of one side edge of the two chambers 30 near the air inlet 311.
[0111] Figure 15 yes Figure 5 Assembly structure diagram of the central spray device 33 and the top cover 32. Figure 16 yes Figure 15 A structural diagram from another perspective. Figure 17 yes Figure 16 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.
[0112] like Figure 9 , Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, in some embodiments, a positioning groove 334 may be recessed on the top surface of the spray housing 332. A positioning post 321 may be protruded on the bottom surface of the top cover 32. The positioning post 321 can be aligned and engaged within the positioning groove 334. By aligning and engaging the positioning post 321 with the positioning groove 334, the spray device 33 can be fixed on the top cover 32. When water flows within the spray channel 330, it can prevent the water flow from impacting the spray housing 332, causing the spray housing 332 to shake, thereby avoiding affecting the spray angle and spray range of the spray nozzle 331.
[0113] In some embodiments, the top surface of the spray housing 332 may be provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 334. The plurality of positioning grooves 334 are arranged at intervals. The bottom surface of the top cover 32 may be provided with a plurality of positioning posts 321. The plurality of positioning posts 321 can be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of positioning grooves 334. The plurality of positioning posts 321 can be respectively aligned and engaged with the plurality of positioning grooves 334 to fix the spray device 33 on the top cover 32, thereby improving the accuracy of the structural stability of the spray device 33 on the top cover 32.
[0114] like Figure 10 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, a fixing part 335 may be protruding from the side wall of the spray housing 332. The fixing part 335 can be detachably fixed to the bottom surface of the top cover 32. In this way, the spray device 33 can be fixed to the top cover 32 by means of the fixing part 335.
[0115] In some embodiments, the fixing part 335 may be provided with a first mounting hole 3351. The bottom surface of the top cover 32 may be provided with a second mounting hole 322. When the positioning post 321 is aligned and engaged in the positioning groove 334, the first mounting hole 3351 can communicate directly with the second mounting hole 322, so that the fixing part 335 can be fixed to the bottom surface of the top cover 32 by screws or bolts passing through the first mounting hole 3351 and the second mounting hole 322, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the spray device 33 and improving the structural stability of the spray device 33.
[0116] In some embodiments, a plurality of fixing portions 335 may be provided on the side wall of the spray housing 332. A plurality of second mounting holes 322 may be provided on the bottom surface of the top cover 32. The plurality of fixing portions 335 may be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of second mounting holes 322.
[0117] like Figure 9 , Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, in some embodiments, a pipe interface 336 may protrude from the outer wall of the spray housing 332. The pipe interface 336 can connect to the spray channel 330 inside the spray housing 332. The clothing treatment device may include a water inlet valve 15. The water inlet valve 15 can be connected to an external water source. The pipe interface 336 can be used to connect to the water inlet valve 15. The water inlet valve 15 can be connected to the pipe interface 336, thereby supplying water to and from the spray system via the pipe interface 336.
[0118] In some embodiments, the pipe interface 336 of the spray housing 332 may be exposed outside the top cover 32. The pipe interface 336 of the spray housing 332 may also be exposed outside the mounting base 3. This facilitates the connection and communication between the pipe interface 336 and the valve port of the water inlet valve 15 via a pipeline.
[0119] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the spray housing 332 may include a spray bottom shell 3321 and a spray cover 3322 that are spliced together. The spray bottom shell 3321 may be integrally formed and connected to the top of the isolation grid 333. The spray cover 3322 may be spliced and placed on the top of the spray bottom shell 3321. The spray channel 330 may be formed between the spray bottom shell 3321 and the spray cover 3322. The spray nozzle 331 may be provided on the bottom surface of the spray bottom shell 3321. In this way, by integrally connecting the spray bottom shell 3321 with the isolation grid 333, and splicing the spray cover 3322 with the spray bottom shell 3321 to form the spray channel 330, it is beneficial to simplify the manufacturing mold of the spray device 33 and reduce the production cost of the spray device 33.
[0120] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the spray cover 3322 can be sealed and connected to the spray bottom shell 3321 by a cladding process, thereby sealing the spray channel 330 between the spray bottom shell 3321 and the spray cover 3322, which is beneficial to improving the sealing performance of the spray channel 330.
[0121] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing part 335 can be disposed on the side wall of the spray bottom shell 3321. When the fixing part 335 is fixed on the bottom surface of the top cover 32, the fixing part 335 can clamp and fix the spray cover 3322 between the bottom surface of the top cover 32 and the spray bottom shell 3321, thereby improving the structural stability of the spray shell 332.
[0122] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the width of the spray channel 330 can be greater than the height of the spray channel 330. In this way, the spray channel 330 can form a flat channel structure.
[0123] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment handling device may include a soap tray assembly 4. The soap tray assembly 4 may be disposed within the housing 1. The soap tray assembly 4 may be located above the top of the drum assembly 2. The soap tray assembly 4 may be located below the mounting base 3. The soap tray assembly 4 can be used to add washing liquids such as detergent, fabric softener, or water. The user can add washing liquids such as detergent, fabric softener, or water to the soap tray assembly 4, allowing the washing liquid to flow along the soap tray assembly 4 into the garment handling chamber 20. When it is necessary to wash clothes, the soap tray assembly 4 can deliver laundry detergent (such as detergent, fabric softener, etc.) into the garment handling chamber 20 via a water flow.
[0124] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the soap dish assembly 4 may include a water inlet box 41. The water inlet box 41 may be disposed inside the housing 1. The top of the water inlet box 41 may be fixed to the bottom of the mounting base 3, and the side of the water inlet box 41 may be fixed to the side wall of the housing 1, thereby improving the installation stability of the water inlet box 41. An external water source may enter the water inlet box 41, and the water inlet box 41 may be connected to the laundry processing chamber 20 through a pipe, thereby delivering water into the drum assembly 2 to supply water to the interior of the laundry processing chamber 20.
[0125] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the valve port of the inlet valve 15 can be connected to the inlet box 41 via a pipeline. The inlet valve 15 can supply water to the inside of the inlet box 41.
[0126] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the soap dish assembly 4 may include a soap dish 42. The soap dish 42 may be removably disposed inside the water inlet box 41. The interior of the soap dish 42 may be used to store laundry detergent. The laundry detergent in the soap dish 42 may enter the water inlet box 41, and then be delivered into the drum assembly 2 by the water flow in the water inlet box 41, so as to provide laundry detergent into the clothes handling chamber 20.
[0127] In some embodiments, the front end of the water inlet box 41 may be provided with an opening. The soap dish 42 may be slidably disposed inside the water inlet box 41 through the front opening of the water inlet box 41.
[0128] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the soap dish 42 may be exposed outside the housing 1. When the soap dish 42 is pulled out of the water inlet box 41, the soap dish 42 may be exposed on the front side wall of the housing 1 to facilitate the replenishment or addition of laundry detergent into the soap dish 42.
[0129] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
