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] In related garment processing devices, when the drum assembly is rotating at high speed for washing, a turbulent water flow is formed inside the drum. The washing water from this turbulent water flow passes through the return air vent above the drum assembly and enters the drying air duct, resulting in a decrease in heat exchange efficiency and affecting drying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a garment processing device to solve the problem of washing water entering the drying duct from the return air inlet during high-speed rotating washing, thereby avoiding affecting heat exchange efficiency and drying efficiency.

[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 garment processing device is provided, comprising: a housing forming the outer shell of the garment processing device; a tubular assembly comprising: an outer tubular assembly disposed within the housing, wherein an air inlet and an air outlet are respectively provided on the outer wall of the outer tubular assembly; an inner tubular assembly rotatably disposed inside the outer tubular assembly; a garment processing chamber formed within the inner tubular assembly; the air inlet and the air outlet respectively communicating with the garment processing chamber; and a mounting base disposed above the tubular assembly; the mounting base having two chambers; and an air inlet and an air outlet on the mounting base. The air inlet and the air outlet are respectively connected to the two chambers of the device; the air inlet is connected to the return air inlet, and the air outlet is connected to the air inlet; wherein, the lower port of the return air inlet is located at the intersection of the side wall of the return air inlet and the inner wall of the outer cylinder, and the upper port of the return air inlet extends upward from the lower port of the return air inlet; a transition component is provided in the return air inlet, the transition component includes: a transition part, which is provided in the return air inlet and extends downward along the return air inlet; and a water-blocking part, which is formed at the lower end of the transition part and extends beyond the lower port of the return air inlet.

[0008] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By cooperating with the air inlet and outlet of the mounting base, the garment processing chamber can be connected through the air inlet and return air outlet respectively, thus forming a drying air duct and achieving garment drying. The adapter blocks the agitated water flow generated during the washing stage before it enters the return air outlet. When the inner drum rotates at high speed, the rotation agitates the water inside the outer drum, causing the agitated water flow inside the outer drum to flow upwards and pass through the return air outlet. The water flow is then splashed against the water-blocking part, which disperses the water flow, preventing it from entering the drying air duct through the return air outlet, thereby avoiding affecting the heat exchange efficiency and drying efficiency of the drying air duct. The water-blocking part can be fixed inside the return air outlet through the adapter, allowing it to be relatively fixed at the lower end of the return air outlet, thus achieving the function of blocking the agitated water flow.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the water-blocking portion is located above the top of the inner cylinder, and there is a gap between the water-blocking portion and the top of the inner cylinder.

[0010] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: when the inner cylinder rotates inside the outer cylinder, the water-blocking part is arranged at intervals between itself and the top of the inner cylinder, which can prevent the inner cylinder from colliding with the water-blocking part.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the minimum distance between the bottom end of the water-blocking part and the top of the inner cylinder is greater than 8 mm.

[0012] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: Since the minimum distance between the bottom of the water-blocking part and the top of the inner drum is greater than 8mm, collisions between the inner drum and the water-blocking part can be avoided during the washing stage when the inner drum rotates at high speed. If the minimum distance between the bottom of the water-blocking part and the top of the inner drum is less than 8mm, it cannot be ensured that the inner drum will not collide with the water-blocking part when it rotates.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the water-blocking part is located on the lateral side of the lower port of the return air inlet, facing the rotation direction of the inner cylinder.

[0014] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: when the inner cylinder rotates clockwise or counterclockwise inside the outer cylinder, the water baffle can be located on the corresponding side of the lower port of the return air vent, facing the turbulent water flow, so that the turbulent water flow can hit the water baffle, thereby preventing the washing water of the turbulent water flow from entering the return air vent.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the adapter includes: a mounting portion, the mounting portion being disposed on the top of the adapter and extending from the top of the adapter towards the outer periphery of the return air vent, the mounting portion being fixed to the peripheral sidewall of the upper port of the return air vent.

[0016] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by setting the hanging part on the top of the adapter, the adapter can be fixed to the peripheral wall of the upper port of the return air vent through the hanging part. This can make full use of the structural strength of the peripheral wall of the upper port of the return air vent, which can ensure the connection reliability of the adapter and the structural stability of the adapter, and ensure the stability and safety of the hanging part in long-term use.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, an upwardly extending hanging groove is provided on the bottom surface of the hanging part, and the hanging part is hung and fixed on the peripheral side wall of the upper port of the return air vent through the hanging groove.

[0018] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the mounting part can be quickly and stably mounted and fixed on the peripheral wall of the upper port of the return air vent through the mounting groove, which not only ensures the accurate docking of the mounting part and the return air vent, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the entire adapter.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the top of the outer cylinder is provided with an upwardly extending return air pipe, the return air inlet is formed inside the return air pipe, and the top port of the return air pipe extends to the top opening inside the return air pipe; the hanging part is fixed to the peripheral wall of the top of the return air pipe through the hanging groove, and the adapter part is provided inside the return air pipe.

[0020] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the mounting part can be quickly and stably mounted and fixed on the top periphery of the return air pipe through the mounting groove, ensuring accurate connection between the mounting part and the return air pipe.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, a return air pipe is provided between the air inlet and the return air outlet, and the air inlet and the return air outlet are arranged vertically opposite each other; the upper end of the return air pipe is sealed to the air inlet, and the lower end of the return air pipe is sealed and fitted around the outer periphery of the return air pipe and the hanging part.

[0022] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by sealing the lower end of the return air duct with a sleeve around the outer periphery of the return air duct and the connecting part, the connection sealing between the air inlet and the return air outlet can be improved.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the adapter is attached to the peripheral wall of the return air inlet, the adapter is arranged in an arc shape on the peripheral wall of the return air inlet, and the water-blocking part is arranged in an arc shape below the peripheral edge of the lower port of the return air inlet.

[0024] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: through the arc-shaped structure of the transition part and the water-blocking part, the transition part can be better attached to the peripheral wall of the return air inlet, thereby reducing the impact on the airflow of the return air inlet.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the lower port of the return air inlet is located in the top region of the inner rear wall of the outer cylinder; a water-blocking rib is protruding on the inner rear wall of the outer cylinder, the water-blocking rib extends in the vertical direction, and the water-blocking rib is located on the side of the lower port of the return air inlet facing the rotation direction of the inner cylinder.

[0026] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: When the inner drum rotates at high speed inside the outer drum for washing, the washing water of the turbulent water flow hits the water baffle rib from one side of the lower port of the return air vent. The water baffle rib is located on the side of the lower port of the return air vent facing the rotation direction of the inner drum, so that the water baffle rib can disperse the turbulent water flow and keep the water flow away from the return air vent, thereby effectively preventing the washing water of the turbulent water flow from entering the return air vent.

[0044] 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] 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.

[0047] 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.

[0048] 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.

[0049] 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.

[0050] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0051] 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.

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] In some embodiments, the tubular assembly 2 may include a door seal ring 23. The door seal ring 23 may be located 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 assembly 21, thereby sealing the gap between the clothing inlet of the housing 1 and the opening of the outer tubular assembly 21. Thus, when the door 11 closes the clothing inlet at the front of the housing 1, the door 11 can make sealed contact with the door seal ring 23. The door seal ring 23 prevents water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from entering the housing 1, while the door 11 prevents water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from overflowing from the clothing inlet of the housing 1.

[0057] 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.

[0058] 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.

[0059] 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.

[0060] 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.

[0061] 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.

[0062] 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.

[0063] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A partial structural diagram. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A schematic diagram of its decomposition.

[0064] 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.

[0065] 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.

[0066] 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.

[0067] 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.

[0068] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As 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.

[0069] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As 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.

[0070] 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.

[0071] 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.

[0072] 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.

[0073] 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.

[0074] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 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.

[0075] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As 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. The lint collection chamber may be formed inside the lint filter. One end of the lint collection chamber may communicate with the air inlet 311. The two chambers 30 may be located on one side of the lint collection chamber. The side of the lint collection chamber 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 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, it can filter and collect the lint in the air within the lint collection chamber.

[0076] 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 located in the region between the air inlet 311 and the two-component cavity 30. The air inlet 311 may be located at one end of the mounting cavity 310. The two-component cavity 30 may be located on one side of the mounting cavity 310. The mounting cavity 310 may communicate with both the air inlet 311 and the two-component cavity 30. The mounting cavity 310 may be arranged adjacent to the two-component cavity 30. The mounting cavity 310 and the two-component cavity 30 may be arranged adjacent to each other on the top surface of the base 31. A top cover 32 may be provided on the top of the mounting cavity 310 and the two-component cavity 30. A lint filter device 34 may be detachably disposed in the mounting cavity 310. In this way, lint in the region between the air inlet 311 and the two-component cavity 30 can be collected by the lint filter device 34.

[0077] In some embodiments, the mounting cavity 310 may be elongated and arranged adjacent to each other on one side of the two chambers 30. The lint collection cavity may also be elongated. The length direction of the lint collection cavity may be aligned with the length direction of the mounting cavity 310. The two chambers 30 may be located on one side of the length direction of the lint collection cavity. One end of the mounting cavity 310 and the lint collection cavity along their length directions may communicate with the air inlet 311.

[0078] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the housing 1 may be provided with an installation port 101. The lint filter device 34 can be detachably mounted in the mounting base 3 through the installation port 101. The lint filter device 34 can be pulled out or inserted into the housing 1 through the installation port 101. The lint filter device 34 can extend into the mounting cavity 310 through the installation port 101. 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, or removing the lint filter device 34 from the mounting base 3 of the housing 1 through the installation port 101, so that the user can clean the inside of the lint filter device 34 regularly.

[0079] 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.

[0080] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, an insertion port 323 may be provided on the top wall of the mounting base 3. The insertion port 323 may be located on the top wall of the mounting base 3. The insertion port 323 may be located on the top cover 32. The insertion port 323 may be located above the top of the mounting cavity 310, and the insertion port 323 may communicate with the mounting cavity 310 inside the mounting base 3. The mounting port 101 and the insertion port 323 are arranged vertically opposite each other. The lint filter device 34 may extend downward into the insertion port 323 through the mounting port 101 and into the mounting cavity 310 arranged in the mounting base 3, so that the lint filter device 34 is arranged in the mounting cavity 310, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the lint filter device 34 in the area between the air inlet 311 and the two chambers 30.

[0081] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the lint filtering device 34 may include a filter assembly. The filter assembly may be disposed on the side of the lint filtering device 34 near the evaporator 13. The filter assembly may be disposed on the cavity wall near the two chambers 30 and the evaporator 13. The filter assembly 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 chamber and the filter assembly, the filter assembly 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 facing the lint collection chamber, 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.

[0082] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 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 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.

[0083] 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.

[0084] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the air inlet 311 may be located on the top surface of the base 31. The mounting base 3 may include an air inlet cover 36. The air inlet cover 36 may be placed over the opening on the top surface of the air inlet 311. In this way, the air inlet 311 can be sealed between the base 31 and the air inlet cover 36. When it is necessary to clean the air inlet 311, only the air inlet cover 36 needs to be opened separately, which makes it convenient for the user to clean the air inlet 311 separately and simplifies the operation.

[0085] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the air intake cover 36 can also be integrally formed on the top cover 32.

[0086] Figure 8 yes Figure 3 Partial structural diagram of the inner and outer cylinder 21. Figure 9 yes Figure 8 The front view.

[0087] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the return air vent 202 can be located in the top area of ​​the outer drum 21. During the washing process in the garment processing chamber 20, if the inner drum 22 rotates at high speed during the washing phase, the rotation of the inner drum 22 agitates the water inside the outer drum 21, easily creating a turbulent water flow inside the outer drum 21. This water flow will travel along the gap between the outer drum 21 and the inner drum 22, and upwards in the direction of rotation of the inner drum 22. When the agitated washing water passes through the return air vent 202 above the outer drum 21, it easily enters the drying duct through the return air vent 202, and then enters the two chambers 30, causing a decrease in the heat exchange efficiency inside the drying duct and affecting the drying efficiency.

[0088] Figure 10 yes Figure 9 Cross-sectional structural diagram along the AA direction.

[0089] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a connector 24 may be provided at the return air inlet 202. The connector 24 can be used to block the turbulent water flow before it enters the return air inlet 202, preventing the washing water from the turbulent water flow from entering the filter screen of the lint filter device 34 and the two chambers 30.

[0090] In some embodiments, the lower end of the adapter 24 may extend downward and into the interior of the outer cylinder 21 to form a water-blocking portion 241 inside the outer cylinder 21. The water-blocking portion 241 may extend beyond the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202. The lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202 may be located at the intersection of the return air vent 202 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 21, and the upper port of the return air vent 202 may be arranged to extend upward from the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202. The lower end of the adapter 24 may extend beyond the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202, and the water-blocking portion 241 may be the portion of the lower end of the adapter 24 that extends beyond the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202. When the inner drum 22 is rotating at high speed for washing, the turbulent water flow inside the outer drum 21 flows upward and passes through the return air inlet 202. The water flow will hit the water-blocking part 241 and be dispersed by the water-blocking part 241, so that the water flow is away from the return air inlet 202 and falls back to the bottom of the outer drum 21, thereby preventing the washing water of the turbulent water flow from entering the drying air duct through the return air inlet 202.

[0091] like Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the water-blocking part 241 is located above the top of the inner cylinder 22, and there is a gap between the water-blocking part 241 and the top of the inner cylinder 22. In this way, when the inner cylinder 22 rotates inside the outer cylinder 21, the gap between the water-blocking part 241 and the top of the inner cylinder 22 can prevent the inner cylinder 22 from colliding with the water-blocking part 241.

[0092] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the bottom end of the water-retaining part 241 and the top of the inner drum 22 can be greater than 8 mm. Thus, by ensuring that the minimum distance between the bottom end of the water-retaining part 241 and the top of the inner drum 22 is greater than 8 mm, collisions between the inner drum 22 and the water-retaining part 241 can be avoided during the washing cycle when the inner drum 22 rotates at high speed. If the minimum distance between the bottom end of the water-retaining part 241 and the top of the inner drum 22 is less than 8 mm, it cannot be ensured that collisions between the inner drum 22 and the water-retaining part 241 are avoided when the inner drum 22 rotates.

[0093] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the water-blocking portion 241 may be located on one side of the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202. The water-blocking portion 241 may be located on the side of the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202 facing the rotation direction of the inner cylinder 22. For example, in... Figure 9When the inner drum 22 rotates clockwise from left to right inside the outer drum 21, the agitated water flow can flow clockwise upward along the inner wall of the outer drum 21. At this time, the water-blocking part 241 can be located on the right side of the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202. When the agitated water flow rises to the top area inside the outer drum 21, the washing water of the agitated water flow can hit the water-blocking part 241 clockwise from right to left. Therefore, the water-blocking part 241 can block the washing water of the agitated water flow from entering the return air vent 202 from the right side area of ​​the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202.

[0094] For example, in other embodiments, when the inner cylinder 22 rotates counterclockwise from right to left inside the outer cylinder 21, the agitated water flow can flow counterclockwise upwards along the inner wall of the outer cylinder 21. At this time, the water-blocking part 241 can be located on the left side of the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202. When the agitated water flow rises to the top area inside the outer cylinder 21, the washing water of the agitated water flow can hit the water-blocking part 241 counterclockwise from left to right. Therefore, the water-blocking part 241 can block the washing water of the agitated water flow from entering the return air vent 202 from the left side area of ​​the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202.

[0095] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the adapter 24 may include an adapter portion 242. The adapter portion 242 may be disposed inside the return air inlet 202. The adapter portion 242 may extend downward along the return air inlet 202. The lower end of the adapter portion 242 may extend beyond the lower port 2021 of the return air inlet 202 and into the outer cylinder 21, forming a water-blocking portion 241. That is, the water-blocking portion 241 may be formed at the lower end of the adapter portion 242, and the water-blocking portion 241 may be the portion of the lower end of the adapter portion 242 that extends beyond the lower port 2021 of the return air inlet 202. Specifically, the adapter portion 242 is disposed inside the return air inlet 202, and the adapter portion 242 is arranged to extend downward along the return air inlet 202. Based on this, the lower end portion of the adapter portion 242 extends into the outer cylinder 21, and a water-blocking portion 241 with a dedicated function is formed there. Thus, the water-blocking part 241 can be fixed inside the return air vent 202 through the adapter part 242, thereby allowing the water-blocking part 241 to be relatively fixed at the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202, thereby achieving the function of blocking the turbulent water flow.

[0096] Figure 11 yes Figure 8 A decomposed structure diagram. Figure 12 yes Figure 11 Structural diagram of intermediate connector 24.

[0097] like Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the adapter 24 may include a mounting portion 243. The mounting portion 243 may be formed on the top of the adapter 24. The mounting portion 243 may be disposed on the top of the adapter 242, and may extend from the top of the adapter 242 towards the outer periphery of the return air vent 202. The mounting portion 243 may be fixed to the peripheral wall of the upper port of the return air vent 202. Specifically, by setting the mounting portion 243 on the top of the adapter 242, the adapter 242 can be fixed to the peripheral wall of the upper port of the return air vent 202 through the mounting portion 243. This fully utilizes the structural strength of the peripheral wall of the upper port of the return air vent 202, ensuring both the connection reliability of the adapter 242 and the structural stability of the adapter 24, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the mounting portion 243 during long-term use.

[0098] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 243 may extend beyond the peripheral sidewall of the upper port of the return air vent 202. When the mounting portion 243 is fixed to the peripheral sidewall of the upper port of the return air vent 202, the mounting portion 243 can be fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the upper port of the return air vent 202, thereby improving the structural strength and connection reliability of the mounting portion 243 and the peripheral sidewall of the upper port of the return air vent 202.

[0099] In some embodiments, an upwardly extending mounting groove 244 may be formed on the bottom surface of the mounting portion 243. The mounting groove 244 may be located on the outer periphery of the top of the adapter portion 242. The mounting portion 243 can be mounted and fixed to the peripheral sidewall of the upper port of the return air vent 202 through the mounting groove 244. In this way, by pre-processing, the shape of the mounting groove 244 can be made to match the shape of at least part of the peripheral sidewall of the upper port of the return air vent 202, so that the mounting portion 243 can be quickly and stably mounted and fixed to the peripheral sidewall of the upper port of the return air vent 202 through the mounting groove 244. This not only ensures the accurate docking of the mounting portion 243 and the return air vent 202, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the entire adapter 24.

[0100] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the outer cylinder 21 is provided with an upwardly extending return air pipe 211. In this case, a return air inlet 202 is formed inside the return air pipe 211. The upper port of the return air inlet 202 extends to the top opening inside the return air pipe 211. That is, the return air inlet 202 can extend upward from its lower port 2021 to the top opening inside the return air pipe 211. The mounting part 243 can be mounted and fixed to the peripheral wall of the top of the return air pipe 211 via the mounting groove 244. The adapter part 242 can be provided inside the return air pipe 211. Thus, by pre-processing, the shape of the mounting groove 244 can be made consistent with the shape of at least a portion of the peripheral wall of the top of the return air pipe 211, allowing the mounting part 243 to be quickly and stably mounted and fixed to the peripheral wall of the top of the return air pipe 211 via the mounting groove 244, ensuring accurate connection between the mounting part 243 and the return air pipe 211.

[0101] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the top of the outer cylinder 21 may not have a return air pipe 211. In this case, the space of the return air inlet 202 may only include the space within the peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 21. The return air inlet 202 may extend upward from its lower port 2021 to the outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 21. Simultaneously, the lower end of the return air pipe 35 may be sealed onto the outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 21 and over the upper port of the return air inlet 202. The mounting portion 243 may be fixed to the inner wall of the return air pipe 35, or fixed between the lower end of the return air pipe 35 and the outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 21.

[0102] In some embodiments, the mounting part 243 can be fixed to the peripheral wall of the upper port of the return air vent 202 by dispensing or gluing, that is, the mounting part 243 can be fixed to the peripheral wall of the top of the return air pipe 211, so as to improve the connection stability and reliability of the mounting part 243.

[0103] In other embodiments, the adapter 242 can also be fixedly bonded to the peripheral wall of the return air inlet 202 by dispensing or adhesive, that is, the adapter 242 can be fixedly bonded to the inner peripheral wall of the return air pipe 211 to improve the connection stability and reliability of the adapter 242.

[0104] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, a return air duct 35 may be provided between the air inlet 311 and the return air outlet 202. The air inlet 311 and the return air outlet 202 may be arranged vertically opposite each other. The upper end of the return air duct 35 may be sealed to the air inlet 311, and the lower end of the return air duct 35 may be sealed around the outer periphery of the return air pipe 211 and the connecting part 243. By sealing the lower end of the return air duct 35 around the outer periphery of the return air pipe 211 and the connecting part 243, the connection sealing between the air inlet 311 and the return air outlet 202 can be improved.

[0105] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the adapter 242 can be a baffle. The baffle can be attached to the peripheral wall of the return air inlet 202. The baffle can also be attached to the inner peripheral wall of the return air duct 211. In this way, the adapter 242 can be prevented from affecting the airflow of the return air inlet 202, and the influence of the adapter 24 on the airflow of the return air inlet 202 can be reduced.

[0106] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the adapter 242 may also adopt a structure such as an adapter rod or an adapter frame.

[0107] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the peripheral wall of the return air vent 202 is arc-shaped. A baffle can be arc-shaped and arranged on the peripheral wall of the return air vent 202. A water-blocking portion 241 can be arc-shaped and located below the peripheral edge of the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202, and the water-blocking portion 241 can extend along the peripheral edge of the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202. The arc-shaped structure of the baffle and the water-blocking portion 241 allows the baffle to better adhere to the peripheral wall of the return air vent 202, thereby reducing the impact on the airflow rate of the return air vent 202.

[0108] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202 can be located in the top region of the inner rear wall of the outer cylinder 21. A water-blocking rib 212 can be protruding from the inner rear wall of the outer cylinder 21. The water-blocking rib 212 can extend vertically. The water-blocking rib 212 is located on one side of the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202. The water-blocking rib 212 is located on the side of the lower port 2021 of the return air vent 202 facing the rotation direction of the inner cylinder 22. Thus, when the inner drum 22 is rotating at high speed inside the outer drum 21, the turbulent water flow flows upward clockwise or counterclockwise along the inner wall of the outer drum 21. When the washing water of the turbulent water flow hits the water baffle 212 from one side of the lower port 2021 of the return air port 202, the water baffle 212 can disperse the turbulent water flow, causing the water flow to move away from the return air port 202 and fall back to the bottom of the outer drum 21, thereby effectively preventing the washing water of the turbulent water flow from entering the return air port 202.

[0109] 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.

[0110] 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.

[0111] 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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.
