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 contains a clothing handling chamber. A drying air duct is formed within the housing; both ends of the drying air duct connect to the clothing handling chamber, creating a circulating drying airflow within the drying air duct and the clothing handling chamber to achieve the drying function for the clothing 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 garment processing device to improve the filtration effect of lint during the drying process.

[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 forming a clothing processing chamber; 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; an air inlet and an air outlet respectively provided on the mounting base, the air inlet and the air outlet communicating with the two chambers; the air inlet communicating with the air return outlet, and the air outlet communicating with the air inlet; an evaporator disposed within the two chambers, and disposed on the side closer to the air inlet; and a condenser disposed within the two chambers, and disposed on the side closer to the air outlet. A lint filter is disposed within the mounting base and on the side of the evaporator near the air inlet. A filter assembly is provided on the side of the lint filter near the evaporator. The filter assembly is used to filter lint from the air flowing from the air inlet into the two chambers. The filter assembly includes: a first flap; a second flap; one end of the second flap being flipped and connected to one end of the first flap; a first filter screen disposed on the first flap; and a second filter screen disposed on the second flap. When the second flap is flipped closed relative to the first flap, the first and second filters are arranged with a relative gap. When air flows through the filter assembly, the air can flow sequentially through the first and second filters.

[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, thus forming a drying air duct to achieve the drying process for clothing. The evaporator can condense and cool the humid air, causing the moisture in the humid air to condense on the evaporator surface, thereby removing the moisture from the humid air. The condenser can heat the dry, cold air to form dry, hot air. A lint filter device located on the side of the evaporator near the air inlet can filter lint from the air, trapping it inside the lint filter device. The flip-connection structure of the first and second flaps facilitates the installation of the first and second filters, and allows for their relative spacing, thus facilitating multiple filtrations of the humid, hot air flowing through the filter assembly, thereby improving the filtration effect of lint during the drying process.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the lint filter is disposed between the air inlet and the two chambers, one end of the lint filter is connected to the air inlet, and an air outlet is formed on the side of the lint filter near the two chambers; the filter assembly is disposed at the air outlet.

[0018] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: When the first filter screen filters lint, it can block the lint on the surface of the first flap facing the lint collection chamber, making it easy to scrape off the lint on the first filter screen during cleaning. When the second filter screen filters lint, it can block the lint on the surface of the second flap facing the first flap. When the second flap is flipped open relative to the first flap, it is easy to clean the second filter screen from the surface of the second flap.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the garment processing apparatus includes a spray device disposed between the lint filter and the evaporator; the spray device is used to spray water toward the evaporator.

[0020] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the spray device can wash away the lint on the surface of the evaporator to avoid affecting the drying air volume and drying efficiency.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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.

[0058] 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.

[0059] 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.

[0060] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0061] 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.

[0062] 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.

[0063] 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.

[0064] 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.

[0065] 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.

[0066] 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.

[0067] 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.

[0068] 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.

[0069] 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.

[0070] 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.

[0071] 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.

[0072] 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.

[0073] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A partial structural diagram. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0074] 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.

[0075] 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.

[0076] 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.

[0077] 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.

[0078] 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.

[0079] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting base 3 may be provided with an air inlet 311 and an air outlet 312 on opposite sides. The air inlet 311 and the air outlet 312 may be connected to opposite sides of the two chambers 30 respectively. The air inlet 311 may be used to connect with the return air inlet 202 of the cylinder assembly 2. The air outlet 312 may be used to connect with the air inlet 201 of the cylinder assembly 2. In this way, the clothes processing chamber 20 can be connected to the two chambers 30 through the return air inlet 202 and the air inlet 311. The two chambers 30 can be connected to the clothes processing chamber 20 through the air outlet 312 and the air inlet 201. The humid and hot air in the clothes processing chamber 20 can enter the two chambers 30 sequentially through the return air inlet 202 and the air inlet 311, be condensed by the evaporator 13 and heated by the condenser 12, and then return to the clothes processing chamber 20 sequentially through the air outlet 312 and the air inlet 201 to dry the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 20.

[0080] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the evaporator 13 and the condenser 12 can be arranged adjacently within 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. In this way, by arranging the evaporator 13 and the condenser 12 adjacently, the internal structure of the two chambers 30 can be made compact, improving the space utilization of the two chambers 30.

[0081] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As 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.

[0082] 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.

[0083] 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.

[0084] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As 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.

[0085] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As 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.

[0086] Figure 8 yes Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of the medium-sized lint filter device 34. Figure 9 yes Figure 8 A structural diagram from another perspective.

[0087] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment processing apparatus may include a lint filter 34. The lint filter 34 may be disposed within the mounting base 3. The lint filter 34 may be disposed on the side of the evaporator 13 near the air inlet 311. The lint filter 34 can be used to filter and collect lint. During the garment drying process, when the humid and hot air in the garment processing chamber 20 flows into the two chambers 30 through the return air inlet 202 and the air inlet 311, the airflow from the air inlet 311 can flow into the lint filter 34. After being filtered by the lint filter 34, it flows into the two chambers 30 and contacts the evaporator 13. In this way, lint in the air can be filtered by the lint filter 34, trapping lint inside the lint filter 34, which helps reduce the amount of lint entering the two chambers 30 and reduces lint adhesion to the evaporator 13 and condenser 12.

[0088] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter 34 may be located in the area between the air inlet 311 and the two chambers 30. The lint filter 34 may include a lint collection chamber 340. The lint collection chamber 340 may be formed inside the lint filter 34. One end of the lint collection chamber 340 may communicate with the air inlet 311. The side of the lint collection chamber 340 near the evaporator 13 may communicate with the two chambers 30. In this way, the humid and hot air in the clothing processing chamber 20 enters the lint collection chamber 340 directly through the air inlet 311, and then enters the two chambers 30 to contact the evaporator 13. When the air flows through the lint collection chamber 340, the lint in the air can be filtered and collected in the lint collection chamber 340.

[0089] Figure 10 yes Figure 9 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0090] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter device 34 may include a filter assembly 341. The filter assembly 341 may be disposed on the side of the lint filter device 34 near the evaporator 13. The filter assembly 341 may be disposed on the cavity wall near the two chambers 30 and the evaporator 13. The filter assembly 341 can be used to filter lint in the air flowing from the air inlet 311 to the two chambers 30. When hot and humid air flows through the lint collection cavity 340 and the filter assembly 341, the filter assembly 341 can filter out most of the lint in the hot and humid air, causing the lint to be blocked on the side wall of the filter assembly 341 facing the lint collection cavity 340, greatly reducing the amount of lint entering the two chambers 30, and thus reducing the amount of lint adhering to the surface of the evaporator 13.

[0091] It should be noted that, after being filtered by the filter assembly 341, most of the hair collected in the hair collection chamber 340 adheres to the side wall of the filter assembly 341 facing the hair collection chamber 340, and a small portion adheres to the other chamber walls of the hair collection chamber 340.

[0092] In some embodiments, an air outlet 3422 may be formed on the side of the lint filter device 34 near the two chambers 30. The air outlet 3422 may be located on the side of the lint collection chamber 340 near the two chambers 30. A filter assembly 341 is located at the air outlet 3422. After hot and humid air enters the lint collection chamber 340 through the air inlet 311, it can flow into the two chambers 30 through the air outlet 3422. When the hot and humid air flows through the air outlet 3422, the filter assembly 341 can filter out most of the lint in the hot and humid air and retain the lint in the lint collection chamber 340.

[0093] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the filter assembly 341 may be detachably disposed at the air outlet 3422. Alternatively, the filter assembly 341 may be fixedly disposed at the air outlet 3422.

[0094] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter device 34 may include a collection box 342. A lint collection cavity 340 may be formed within the collection box 342. The collection box 342 may be arranged between the air inlet 311 and the two chambers 30. The collection box 342 may have an elongated structure and be arranged adjacent to each other on one side of the two chambers 30.

[0095] In some embodiments, one end of the collection box 342 may be provided with an air inlet 3421. The air inlet 3421 may be located at one end along the length of the collection box 342. The air inlet 3421 may be arranged facing the air inlet 311 and communicate directly with the air inlet 311. In this way, air flowing out of the air inlet 311 can easily enter the lint collection chamber 340 through the air inlet 3421.

[0096] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the air outlet 3422 may be located on the side wall of the collection box 342 facing the two chambers 30. The filter assembly 341 may be located inside the collection box 342, thereby allowing the filter assembly 341 to be located at the air outlet 3422.

[0097] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a groove 3401 may be provided inside the lint filter 34 near the air outlet 3422. The filter assembly 341 is slidably disposed within the groove 3401 and covers the air outlet 3422. Thus, the filter assembly 341 can be slidably installed along the groove 3401, facilitating its installation at the air outlet 3422 to filter lint from the air flowing through it. In this lint filter 34, the groove 3401, located near the air outlet 3422, guides and fixes the filter assembly 341. The filter assembly 341 can be slidably installed within the groove 3401, ensuring precise coverage of the air outlet 3422. With this design, when air flows through the air outlet 3422, the filter can effectively capture particles such as lint, achieving highly efficient filtration of the flowing air.

[0098] like Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the lint filter device 34 may be provided with a loading / unloading port 3402. The loading / unloading port 3402 may be located on the outer wall of the collection box 342. The loading / unloading port 3402 may be located at one end of the slide 3401, and the loading / unloading port 3402 may communicate with the slide 3401. The filter assembly 341 can be inserted into the slide 3401 through the loading / unloading port 3402. In this way, the filter assembly 341 can be conveniently installed in the slide 3401 through the loading / unloading port 3402 and covered at the air outlet 3422.

[0099] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter assembly 341 may include multiple layers of filters. The multiple layers of filters may include at least two layers. The multiple layers of filters may be arranged sequentially at intervals along the airflow direction at the location of the filter assembly 341. Thus, the multiple layers of filters can be arranged sequentially at intervals along the airflow direction within the filter assembly 341. When humid and hot air flows through the filter assembly 341, the humid and hot air can sequentially pass through the multiple layers of filters, undergoing multiple filtrations to improve the filtration effect and efficiency for lint.

[0100] In some embodiments, the pore density of the multi-layer filter screen can increase sequentially along the airflow direction within the filter assembly 341. Thus, when the multi-layer filter screen filters humid and hot air multiple times, it can sequentially filter lint of different sizes, which is beneficial for improving the filtration effect and efficiency.

[0101] Figure 11 yes Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the structure of the middle filter assembly 341. Figure 12 yes Figure 11 A structural diagram of another state.

[0102] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the multi-layer filter may include at least a first filter 3411 and a second filter 3412. The first filter 3411 and the second filter 3412 may be arranged sequentially at intervals along the airflow direction within the filter assembly 341. The first filter 3411 may be located on the side of the filter assembly 341 facing the lint collection chamber 340. The second filter 3412 may be spaced apart on the side of the first filter 3411 near the chamber 30. The pore density of the first filter 3411 may be greater than that of the second filter 3412. In this way, larger lint can be filtered and collected inside the lint collection chamber 340. Smaller lint can be filtered and collected on the side of the second filter 3412 facing the first filter 3411, accumulating in the area between the second filter 3412 and the first filter 3411.

[0103] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter assembly 341 may include a first flap 3413. The first filter 3411 may be disposed on the first flap 3413.

[0104] In some embodiments, the filter assembly 341 may include a second flap 3414. One end of the second flap 3414 may be flipped and connected to one end of the first flap 3413. A second filter 3412 may be disposed on the second flap 3414. When the second flap 3414 is flipped closed relative to the first flap 3413, the second flap 3414 and the first flap 3413 may fit together, and the first filter 3411 and the second filter 3412 may be arranged relatively parallel and spaced apart. At this time, when the filter assembly 341 is installed at the air outlet 3422, the first flap 3413 may be disposed on the side of the second flap 3414 facing the lint collection chamber 340, and the second flap 3414 may be disposed on the side of the first flap 3413 facing the two chambers 30. The flip-connection structure of the first flap 3413 and the second flap 3414 facilitates the parallel and spaced arrangement of the first filter screen 3411 and the second filter screen 3412, thereby facilitating multiple filtrations of the humid and hot air flowing through the filter assembly 341.

[0105] In some embodiments, the first filter screen 3411 may be disposed on the surface of the first flap 3413 facing the lint collection chamber 340. In this way, when the first filter screen 3411 filters lint, the first filter screen 3411 can block the lint on the surface of the first flap 3413 facing the lint collection chamber 340, which facilitates the scraping off of the lint on the first filter screen 3411 when cleaning the first filter screen 3411.

[0106] In some embodiments, the second filter 3412 may be disposed on the surface of the second flap 3414 facing the first flap 3413. The second filter 3412 may also be disposed on the surface of the second flap 3414 away from the two cavities 30. Thus, when the second filter 3412 filters lint, it can block lint on the surface of the second flap 3414 facing the first flap 3413. When the second flap 3414 is flipped open relative to the first flap 3413, the second filter 3412 can be easily cleaned from the surface of the second flap 3414.

[0107] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the first flap 3413 may be provided with a first filter port 34131. A first filter screen 3411 may cover the first filter port 34131. When air flows through the filter assembly 341, the air can pass through the first filter port 34131, and then the first filter screen 3411 filters the lint in the air.

[0108] In some embodiments, multiple first filter ports 34131 may be provided. A first filter screen 3411 may simultaneously cover multiple first filter ports 34131. The number and size of the first filter ports 34131 can be adjusted as needed and are not limited herein.

[0109] In some embodiments, the second flap 3414 may be provided with a second filter port 34141. A second filter screen 3412 may cover the second filter port 34141. When air flows through the filter assembly 341, the air can pass through the second filter port 34141 and then be filtered by the second filter screen 3412 to remove lint from the air.

[0110] In some embodiments, multiple second filter ports 34141 may be provided. A second filter screen 3412 may simultaneously cover multiple second filter ports 34141. The number and size of the second filter ports 34141 can be adjusted as needed and are not limited herein.

[0111] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the first flap 3413 that is flipped and connected to the second flap 3414 can be a first flipping end 34132. The end of the first flap 3413 away from the first flipping end 34132 can be provided with a first latch 34133. The end of the second flap 3414 that is flipped and connected to the first flap 3413 can be a second flipping end 34142. The end of the second flap 3414 away from the second flipping end 34142 can be provided with a second latch 34143.

[0112] When the second flap 3414 is flipped open relative to the first flap 3413, the first flip end 34132 of the first flap 3413 is connected to the second flip end 34142 of the second flap. The first buckle 34133 can be located at the end of the first flap 3413 away from the second flap 3414, and the second buckle 34143 can be located at the end of the second flap 3414 away from the first flap 3413.

[0113] When the second flap 3414 flips and closes relative to the first flap 3413, the first buckle 34133 and the second buckle 34143 can engage with each other, which can fix the first flap 3413 and the second flap 3414 relatively, thereby allowing the second flap 3414 and the first flap 3413 to fit together, and the first filter screen 3411 and the second filter screen 3412 can be arranged relatively parallel and spaced apart, and the first filter screen 3411 and the second filter screen 3412 can be relatively fixed.

[0114] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the first buckle 34133 may also be located at other positions of the first flap 3413, and the second buckle 34143 may also be located at other positions of the second flap 3414, with the first buckle 34133 and the second buckle 34143 arranged opposite to each other.

[0115] In some other embodiments, the filter assembly 341 may include multiple sets of first flaps 3413 and second flaps 3414. The multiple sets of first flaps 3413 and second flaps 3414 are arranged in parallel at the air outlet 3422, allowing multiple sets of first filters 3411 and second filters 3412 to be present at the air outlet 3422. The cooperation of the multiple sets of first filters 3411 and second filters 3412 can further improve the filtration effect on pet hair.

[0116] Figure 13 yes Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of the spray device 33. Figure 14 yes Figure 13 A structural diagram from another perspective.

[0117] like Figure 6 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As 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 the side of the evaporator 13 near the air inlet 311. The spray device 33 may be located between the lint filter 34 and the evaporator 13. 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. After the humid and hot air is filtered by the lint filter 34, some small lint will still enter 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.

[0118] 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.

[0119] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the spray device 33 may have spray nozzles 331 arranged facing downwards. The spray nozzles 331 may be arranged at intervals above the top 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.

[0120] Figure 15 yes Figure 7 Cross-sectional view of the spray device 33, evaporator 13 and condenser 12. Figure 16 yes Figure 15 A magnified schematic diagram of the central part of the structure.

[0121] like Figure 15 and Figure 16As 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 above 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 inlet 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, and then easily discharged through the bottom of the two chambers 30, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the evaporator 13.

[0122] like Figure 16 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 bottom port 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.

[0123] like Figure 16 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.

[0124] 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.

[0125] like Figure 16As 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.

[0126] like Figure 16 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.

[0127] like Figure 16 As 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. This ensures that some of the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 331 can reach the top and sides of the evaporator 13, thereby increasing the area of ​​the top and sides of the evaporator 13 that is reached by the spray nozzle 331, and thus 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, and consequently affecting the cleaning efficiency and effect of the evaporator 13.

[0128] like Figure 5 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 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.

[0129] 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.

[0130] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As 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.

[0131] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 15 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] like Figure 7 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As 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.

[0134] like Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the spray nozzles 331 can be elongated. The spray nozzles 331 can be arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the evaporator 13. The elongated design of the spray nozzles 331 increases the spray area of ​​the spray nozzles 331 towards the surface of the evaporator 13, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect on the evaporator 13.

[0135] 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.

[0136] like Figure 16 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 3111 can be arranged inclined towards the direction of the isolation grid 333. In this way, when the spray nozzle 331 sprays water towards the top surface of the evaporator 13, the lint on the top surface of the evaporator 13 can fall towards 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.

[0137] like Figure 16 As shown, in some embodiments, the sidewall of the spray nozzle 331 near the evaporator 13 can be a second inclined wall 3112. In the top-to-bottom direction, the second inclined wall 3112 can be arranged inclined towards the direction of the evaporator 13. Thus, when the spray nozzle 331 sprays water towards the top surface of the evaporator 13, the water sprayed from the spray nozzle 331 can thoroughly wash away lint on the side of the evaporator 13, effectively removing lint from the sidewall of the evaporator 13, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the surface of the evaporator 13.

[0138] Figure 17 yes Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of the evaporator 13.

[0139] like Figure 7 , Figure 15 and Figure 17As 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.

[0140] 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 top-to-bottom 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 top-to-bottom 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. This allows the spray nozzle 331 to simultaneously spray towards both the top surface and the sidewalls of the multiple evaporator plates 132, enabling lint adhering to the top and sidewalls of the multiple evaporator plates 132 to be washed downwards and fall to the bottom of both chambers, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the evaporator.

[0141] 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.

[0142] Figure 18 yes Figure 5 Assembly structure diagram of the central spray device 33 and the top cover 32.

[0143] like Figure 5 and Figure 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the top cover 32 may have an insertion port 323. The insertion port 323 may be located on the top wall of the mounting base 3. The insertion port 323 may communicate with the interior of the mounting base 3. The lint filter device 34 may extend downward through the insertion port 323 and be arranged inside the mounting base 3, thereby positioning the lint filter device 34 between the air inlet 311 and the two chambers 30.

[0144] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 18As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the housing 1 may be provided with an installation port 101. The installation port 101 may be arranged vertically opposite to the insertion port 323, and the installation port 101 may communicate with the insertion port 323. The lint filter device 34 may extend downward into the insertion port 323 through the installation port 101, or be taken out sequentially from the insertion port 323 and the installation port 101, and then inserted into or removed from the mounting base 3, and then removed from or inserted into the housing 1. In this way, the user can install and remove the lint filter device 34 from the outside of the housing 1, inserting the lint filter device 34 into the mounting base 3 of the housing 1 through the installation port 101 and the insertion port 323, or removing the lint filter device 34 from the mounting base 3 of the housing 1 through the installation port 101 and the insertion port 323, so that the user can clean the inside of the lint filter device 34 regularly.

[0145] In some embodiments, the mounting port 101 may be located on the top surface of the housing 1. This allows the user to install and remove the lint filter 34 from the top of the housing 1, facilitating user operation.

[0146] like Figure 5 and Figure 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting base 3 may have a mounting cavity 310. The mounting cavity 310 may be formed on the top surface of the base 31. The mounting cavity 310 may be arranged between the air inlet 311 and the two chambers 30. The mounting cavity 310 may have an elongated structure and be arranged adjacent to one side of the two chambers 30. The insertion port 323 may be located above the top of the mounting cavity 310 and may communicate with the mounting cavity 310. The top cover 32 may be placed on the top of the mounting cavity 310. The lint filter device 34 may extend downward through the insertion port 323 and be arranged in the mounting cavity 310, so that the collection box 342 of the lint filter device 34 is arranged in the mounting cavity 310, and thus the collection box 342 may be arranged between the air inlet 311 and the two chambers 30.

[0147] In some embodiments, the lint filter device 34 may include a sealing ring 343. The sealing ring 343 may be arranged around the periphery of the top of the collection box 342. When the lint filter device 34 is inserted downward into the mounting cavity 310 through the mounting port 101 and the insertion port 323, the sealing ring 343 can seal the insertion port 323, thereby sealing the collection box 342 within the mounting cavity 310 and encapsulating the lint filter device 34 inside the mounting base 3.

[0148] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 18As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filter device 34 may include a top cover 344. The top cover 344 may be disposed on top of the collection box 342. The sealing ring 343 may be disposed below the bottom of the top cover 344. When the lint filter device 34 is inserted downward into the mounting cavity 310 through the mounting port 101 and the insertion port 323, the collection box 342 may be located inside the mounting base 3, the top cover 344 may protrude from the top surface of the top cover 32, and the top cover 344 may cover the mounting port 101, thereby encapsulating the lint filter device 34 inside the housing 1.

[0149] In some embodiments, when the lint filter device 34 is inserted downward into the mounting cavity 310 through the mounting port 101 and the insertion port 323, the top surface of the top cover 344 can be flush with the top surface of the housing 1, thereby keeping the appearance of the housing 1 flat.

[0150] In some embodiments, the top cover 344 may be provided with a lifting opening 3441. The user can reach into the lifting opening 3441 to lift the lint filter device 34 as a whole, and then remove the lint filter device 34 from the mounting base 3 through the mounting port 101.

[0151] In some embodiments, the top cover 344 may be provided with a flip cover 3442. The flip cover 3442 may be rotatably disposed at the lifting opening 3441. The flip cover 3442 may seal the lifting opening 3441. When the user needs to disassemble the lint filter device 34, the flip cover 3442 may be rotated and inserted into the lifting opening 3441 to lift the lint filter device 34 as a whole.

[0152] In some embodiments, the top surface of the flip cover 3442 may be flush with the top surface of the cover 344, thereby keeping the appearance of the housing 1 flat.

[0153] Figure 19 yes Figure 17 A structural diagram from another perspective.

[0154] like Figure 5 , Figure 18 and Figure 19As shown, in some embodiments, the spray device 33 can be fixed to the top cover 32. The spray device 33 can be arranged on one side of the insertion port 323. When the top cover 32 is placed on the base 31, the spray device 33 can be arranged between the mounting cavity 310 and the evaporator 13 in the two gas chambers, and the spray device 33 can shield the side of the mounting cavity 310 near the evaporator 13. When the lint filter device 34 is inserted downward into the mounting cavity 310 through the mounting port 101 and the insertion port 323, the spray device 33 can be arranged between the lint filter device 34 and the evaporator 13. In this way, when the lint filter device 34 is pulled out through the mounting port 101 and the insertion port 323, the isolation grille 333 can block the side of the mounting cavity 310 near the evaporator 13, which can prevent the user from reaching through this point to touch the surface of the evaporator 13 and causing a safety accident.

[0155] Figure 20 yes Figure 19 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0156] like Figure 18 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] like Figure 18 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] like Figure 18 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As 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 the spray system through the pipe interface 336.

[0162] 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.

[0163] Figure 21 yes Figure 2 A structural diagram from another perspective.

[0164] like Figure 7 and Figure 21 As shown, in some embodiments, a drain outlet 301 may be provided at the bottom of the two chambers 30. An inlet 203 communicating with the interior of the cylinder assembly 2 may be provided on the outer wall of the cylinder assembly 2. The drain outlet 301 is positioned higher than the inlet 203, and the drain outlet 301 can be connected to the inlet 203 via a pipe. In this way, the condensate in the two chambers 30 can flow sequentially into the cylinder assembly through the drain outlet 301 and the inlet 203, condensing on the inner wall of the cylinder assembly 2, which helps improve the efficiency of clothes drying.

[0165] In some embodiments, the drain outlet 301 may extend to the outside of the mounting base 3. The inlet 203 may extend to the outside of the cylinder assembly 2. In this way, it is easy to connect and communicate with the drain outlet 301 and the inlet 203 via a pipeline.

[0166] Figure 22 yes Figure 21 A schematic diagram of the drainage component.

[0167] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment handling device may include a drain pipe 16. The drain pipe 16 may be located below the bottom of the tubular assembly 2. One end of the drain pipe 16 may communicate with the garment handling chamber 20.

[0168] In some embodiments, the garment processing apparatus may include a drain filter 17. The drain filter 17 may be located below the bottom of the tubular assembly 2. The drain filter 17 may be connected to the other end of the drain pipe 16. Liquid in the garment processing chamber 20 can flow through the drain pipe 16 to the drain filter 17, and be discharged from the housing 1 after being filtered by the drain filter 17.

[0169] like Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the drain filter device 17 furthest from the drain pipe 16 may be provided with a discharge pipe 18, which may extend downwards. A discharge valve 181 may be provided on the discharge pipe 18. The discharge valve 181 can be used to open and close the discharge pipe 18. For example, when the discharge valve 181 opens the discharge pipe 18, water in the clothing processing chamber 20 can flow into the drain filter device 17 through the drain pipe 16 and be discharged from the housing 1 through the discharge pipe 18. When the discharge valve 181 closes the discharge pipe 18, water in the drain filter device 17 cannot be discharged from the housing 1 through the discharge pipe 18.

[0170] In some embodiments, the drain filter device 17 may be arranged at an angle. The end of the drain filter device 17 connected to the drain pipe 16 is higher than the end of the drain filter device 17 connected to the discharge pipe 18. In this way, the drain filter device 17 can be arranged at an angle downward toward the discharge pipe 18, which facilitates the discharge of water from the drain filter device 17.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.
