[0055] The embodiments of the first aspect of the present application provide a wind guide device for clothes processing equipment, wherein the clothes processing equipment can be a clothes dryer, a washing and drying integrated machine, etc.

[0056] Please refer toFigure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 The air guide device 10 comprises an air guide cover 11, an air guide plate 12 and a driving member 13. The air guide cover 11 is used to be connected to the cabinet 20 of the clothes treatment apparatus 100 and enclose an air guide passage with the cabinet 20. The air guide cover 11 comprises a first cover body part 111 and a second cover body part 112 which are in communication with each other. The first cover body part 111 is used to be arranged corresponding to the air inlet end of the clothes treatment drum 30 of the clothes treatment apparatus 100. The second cover body part 112 is used to be arranged corresponding to the air outlet end of the air outlet device 40 of the clothes treatment apparatus 100. The air guide plate 12 is rotatably installed in the first cover body part 111. The driving member 13 is connected to the air guide plate 12 and is used to drive the air guide plate 12 to rotate in the first cover body part 111.

[0057] The air guide cover 11 is connected to the cabinet 20 of the clothes treatment apparatus 100. It can be understood that the air guide cover 11 can be fixed to the cabinet 20 by fastening, clamping, welding or the like. The air guide cover 11 is located outside the cabinet 20.

[0058] The air guide cover 11 is of a groove shape. The cross section of the air guide cover 11 can be U-shaped or several Chinese character-shaped. The air guide cover 11 has an opening facing the cabinet 20. After the air guide cover 11 is connected to the cabinet 20, the cabinet 20 covers the opening of the air guide cover 11 and encloses an air guide passage with the air guide cover 11. The cabinet 20 is provided with a ventilation hole corresponding to the first cover body part 111. The ventilation hole is in communication with the air guide passage and the air inlet end of the clothes treatment drum 30. The flow direction of the air in the air guide passage is shown by the arrow in Figure 4 .

[0059] The air guide cover 11 comprises the first cover body part 111 and the second cover body part 112 which are in communication with each other, i.e. the air can flow from the second cover body part 112 to the first cover body part 111.

[0060] The first cover body part 111 is arranged corresponding to the air inlet end of the clothes treatment drum 30 of the clothes treatment apparatus 100, i.e. the air flowing into the first cover body part 111 can enter the clothes treatment drum 30 through the air inlet end of the clothes treatment drum 30. The first cover body part 111 and the door for putting clothes are respectively located at the axial two ends of the clothes treatment drum 30, i.e. the air guide cover 11 is located at the rear side of the clothes treatment apparatus 100.

[0061] The second cover body part 112 is arranged corresponding to the air outlet end of the air outlet device 40 of the clothes treatment apparatus 100. In some embodiments, the air outlet device 40 is a fan. The fan comprises an impeller. The second cover body part 112 is a shell of the impeller. During the rotation of the impeller, the air is sent from the second cover body part 112 to the first cover body part 111 and then enters the clothes treatment drum 30 to dry the clothes.

[0062] The application does not limit the manner in which the air deflector 12 is rotatably installed in the first cover body part 111. For example, a first support and a second support are provided on the bottom wall of the first cover body part 111, and the two ends of the air deflector 12 are rotatably installed on the first support and the second support through a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft respectively; or a first support is provided on the bottom wall of the first cover body part 111, and the two ends of the air deflector 12 are rotatably installed on the first support and the side wall of the first cover body part 111 through a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft respectively.

[0063] The driving member 13 is connected to the air deflector 12 to drive the air deflector 12 to rotate in the first cover body part 111. It can be understood that the driving member 13 can be directly connected to the air deflector 12 or indirectly connected to the air deflector 12. The driving member 13 can be a motor, an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, etc.

[0064] The air deflector device 10 provided by the application has the beneficial effect that, since the air deflector cover 11 has a groove-shaped structure, the air deflector cover 11 is connected to the cabinet 20 of the clothes treatment equipment 100 to form an air deflector passage with the cabinet 20, so that the air generated by the air outlet device 40 can flow to the first cover body part 111 through the second cover body part 112 and finally flow into the clothes treatment drum 30 to dry the clothes.

[0065] The air deflector 12 can rotate in the first cover body part 111 under the drive of the driving member 13 to adjust the direction of the air entering the clothes treatment drum 30. For example, in wall-hugging drying (e.g. drying clothes made of wool, silk, etc.), the air can be guided to the clothes attached to the drum wall of the clothes treatment drum 30; in non-wall-hugging drying (e.g. drying ordinary clothes), the air can be guided to the clothes in the middle of the clothes treatment drum. In this way, the drying efficiency can be improved.

[0066] In some embodiments, at least one air deflector 12 is provided, and each air deflector 12 is connected to one driving member 13.

[0067] It can be understood that the air deflector 12 can be one, two, three or more than four, and correspondingly, the driving member 13 can be one, two, three or more than four.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 2 The air deflector 12 can be provided with two, and the driving member 13 can be provided with two, wherein one air deflector 12 is connected to one driving member 13, and the other air deflector 12 is connected to the other driving member 13.

[0069] The driving member 13 can be a motor, and the output shaft of the motor can be directly connected to the rotating shaft of the air deflector 12, or the output shaft of the motor can be connected to the rotating shaft of the air deflector 12 through a gear mechanism.

[0070] Based on the above technical scheme, each air deflector 12 works independently, which is conducive to controlling the clothes drying area; and when one of the driving members 13 is damaged, the other air deflectors 12 can still work normally, ensuring the normal progress of the drying process.

[0071] In some other embodiments, a plurality of air deflectors 12 are provided, and the plurality of air deflectors 12 are connected with the driving member 13. The plurality of air deflectors 12 share one driving member 13, which reduces the number of driving members 13 and is conducive to reducing costs.

[0072] In some embodiments, based on the condition that the plurality of air deflectors 12 share one driving member 13, the plurality of air deflectors 12 are connected with the driving member 13 through a chain transmission mechanism.

[0073] The driving member 13 can be a motor, and the chain transmission mechanism includes a driving sprocket, a chain, and a plurality of driven sprockets. The driving sprocket is arranged on the output shaft of the driving member 13, the driven sprockets are arranged on the rotating shafts of the air deflectors 12, and the chain is wound around the driving sprocket and the plurality of driven sprockets, so as to realize synchronous rotation of the plurality of air deflectors 12 driven by the driving member 13 at the same time.

[0074] In some other embodiments, the plurality of air deflectors 12 are connected with the driving member 13 through a belt transmission mechanism.

[0075] The driving member 13 can be a motor, and the belt transmission mechanism includes a driving pulley, a synchronous belt, and a plurality of driven pulleys. The driving pulley is arranged on the output shaft of the driving member 13, the driven pulleys are arranged on the rotating shafts of the air deflectors 12, and the synchronous belt is wound around the driving pulley and the plurality of driven pulleys, so as to realize synchronous rotation of the plurality of air deflectors 12 driven by the driving member 13 at the same time.

[0076] In some other embodiments, the plurality of air deflectors 12 are connected with the driving member 13 through a gear transmission mechanism.

[0077] The driving member 13 can be a motor, and the gear transmission mechanism includes a driving pulley and a plurality of driven pulleys. The driving pulley is arranged on the output shaft of the driving member 13, the driven pulleys are arranged on the rotating shafts of the air deflectors 12, and the driving pulley is engaged with the plurality of driven pulleys, so as to realize synchronous rotation of the plurality of air deflectors 12 driven by the driving member 13 at the same time.

[0078] Based on the above technical scheme, the driving member 13 drives the plurality of air deflectors 12 to work through the chain transmission mechanism, the belt transmission mechanism, or the gear transmission mechanism, which can ensure synchronous rotation of the plurality of air deflectors 12 and is conducive to uniform drying of the clothes attached to the barrel wall.

[0079] In other embodiments, the plurality of air deflectors 12 can also be connected with the driving member 13 through a connecting rod mechanism.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, the air deflector 12 is a straight plate extending along the arrangement direction of the first cover portion 111 and the second cover portion 112.

[0081] The number of the air deflectors 12 can be two, and the two air deflectors 12 are arranged in parallel. Among them, the air deflectors 12 extend along the arrangement direction of the first cover portion 111 and the second cover portion 112, so as to facilitate the wind entering between the two air deflectors 12.

[0082] Based on the above technical solution, the air deflector 12 is designed as a straight plate, which is simple in structure and convenient to process.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, based on the air deflector 12 being a straight plate, the air deflector 12 has an open state and a closed state. When the air deflector 12 is in the open state, the air deflector 12 is at a set angle with the bottom wall of the first cover portion 111. When the air deflector 12 is in the closed state, the air deflector 12 is parallel to the bottom wall of the first cover portion 111.

[0084] The air deflector 12 is at a set angle with the bottom wall of the first cover portion 111. The set angle is not limited, as long as it can meet the requirement of drying clothes attached to the cylinder wall. The set angle can be 20-70°, for example, the set angle can be 20°, 30°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 60° or 70°, etc.

[0085] The air deflector 12 is parallel to the bottom wall of the first cover portion 111, that is, the air deflector 12 is perpendicular to the center line of the clothes treatment cylinder 30. Among them, the air deflector 12 can be as close as possible to the bottom wall of the first cover portion 111, so as to reduce the influence of the air deflector 12 on the wind entering the clothes treatment cylinder 30.

[0086] Among them, at least for a period of time in the open state, the clothes to be dried in the clothes treatment cylinder 30 are in a wall-attached state. In some embodiments, the clothes to be dried are wool, silk, etc.

[0087] Based on the above technical solution, when drying precious clothes (such as clothes made of wool, silk, etc.), the clothes are attached to the cylinder wall, the air deflector 12 is at a set angle with the bottom wall of the first cover portion 111, the wind can be inclined to the clothes attached to the cylinder wall, and the drying efficiency is improved. When drying ordinary clothes, there is no need to attach to the wall, the air deflector 12 is parallel to the bottom wall of the first cover portion 111, which does not affect the drying of ordinary clothes.

[0088] In other embodiments, when the air deflector 12 is in the closed state, the air deflector 12 can be perpendicular to the bottom wall of the first cover portion 111, that is, the air deflector 12 is parallel to the center line of the clothes treatment cylinder 30.

[0089] In some embodiments, the air deflector 12 is an arc-shaped plate.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 6 The air deflector 12 can be a circular arc-shaped plate arranged along the circumference of the clothes treatment cylinder 30, and the center line corresponding to the air deflector 12 coincides with the center line corresponding to the clothes treatment cylinder 30.

[0091] It can be understood that the air deflector 12 can be provided with one or more. When the air deflector 12 is provided with multiple, the multiple air deflectors 12 are arranged along the circumference of the clothes treatment cylinder 30.

[0092] Based on the above technical solution, when the air deflector 12 is an arc-shaped plate arranged along the circumference of the clothes treatment cylinder 30, it is beneficial to uniformly guide the air to the clothes attached to the cylinder wall, and beneficial to uniformly dry the clothes.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first cover portion 111 is provided with a first fixed flange 1111 for connecting with the cabinet 20, and the second cover portion 112 is provided with a second fixed flange 1121 for connecting with the cabinet 20.

[0094] It can be understood that the first fixed flange 1111 and the second fixed flange 1121 can be connected to form an annular fixed flange. Alternatively, the first fixed flange 1111 and the second fixed flange 1121 can also be not connected, that is, the first fixed flange 1111 and the second fixed flange 1121 are two independent C-shaped fixed flanges.

[0095] It can be understood that a plurality of first fixing holes 11111 can be provided on the first fixed flange 1111, and a plurality of second fixing holes 11211 can be provided on the second fixed flange 1121. The air deflector 11 is fixed on the cabinet 20 by cooperating with the plurality of first fixing holes 11111, the plurality of second fixing holes 11211 and the threaded fasteners. Alternatively, a plurality of first clamping portions can be provided on the first fixed flange 1111, and a plurality of second clamping portions can be provided on the second fixed flange 1121. The air deflector 11 is fixed on the cabinet 20 by cooperating with the plurality of first clamping portions, the plurality of second clamping portions and the clamping grooves on the cabinet 20.

[0096] Based on the above technical solution, by providing the first fixed flange 1111 on the first cover portion 111 and the second fixed flange 1121 on the second cover portion 112, it is beneficial to fix the air deflector 11 on the cabinet 20.

[0097] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the driving member 13 is located in the first cover portion 111.

[0098] It should be noted that the position of the driving member 13 in the first cover portion 111 should not affect the air flow from the second cover portion 112 to the first cover portion 111.

[0099] Based on the above scheme, compared with arranging the driving member 13 outside the first cover portion 111, the scheme does not need to make an opening on the first cover portion 111 and seal the opening, simplifying the structure while ensuring the sealing.

[0100] In other embodiments, the driving member 13 can also be arranged outside the first cover portion 111, for example, a first support is arranged on the bottom wall of the first cover portion 111, both ends of the air deflector 12 are rotatably arranged on the first support and the side wall of the first cover portion 111 through a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft respectively, the second rotating shaft penetrates the side wall of the first cover portion 111, the driving member 13 is arranged outside the first cover portion 111 and connected with the second rotating shaft to drive the air deflector 12 to rotate; wherein the second rotating shaft and the side wall of the first cover portion 111 are sealed.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the connection between the first cover portion 111 and the second cover portion 112 is provided with a volute tongue 14. Wherein the volute tongue 14 is formed by the recess on one side of the air deflector 11.

[0102] Wherein the air outlet device 40 is outside the casing 20, the air outlet device 40 is a fan, the fan includes an impeller, and the second cover portion 112 is a volute of the impeller. The volute tongue 14 is a "tongue-like" structure at the air outlet of the volute, which mainly prevents part of the gas from circulating in the volute. For example, the volute tongue 14 can divide the air generated by the air outlet device 40 into two parts, most of the air flows to the first cover portion 111, and a small part of the air flows back to the second cover portion 112, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency.
