[0020] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the clothing processing equipment further includes a clothing processing agent dispensing device, which is located between the drying air duct and the clothing processing drum, and is connected to the supporting member.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the clothing processing equipment of this utility model fixes the drying air duct to the box body by setting a support component, and the stability of the drying air duct can be improved by supporting the drying air duct with the support component.

[0022] Furthermore, by providing a reinforcing structure on the plate-shaped body, this utility model can improve the structural strength of the plate-shaped body, which helps to prevent deformation of the plate-shaped body, thereby further improving the stability of the drying air duct.

[0023] Furthermore, by providing a third flange on the side of the plate-shaped body, this utility model can improve the structural strength of the plate-shaped body, which helps to prevent deformation of the plate-shaped body, thereby further improving the stability of the drying air duct.

[0024] Furthermore, this utility model improves assembly efficiency by providing a matching first plug-in structure and a second plug-in structure on the supporting component and the box body, respectively.

[0025] Furthermore, the lint collection device of this utility model has a scraping component inside the housing. When it is necessary to clean the lint inside the housing, the scraping component can push the lint inside the housing toward the air inlet of the housing, which facilitates the cleaning of lint and improves the cleaning efficiency and user experience. In addition, the scraping component can also scrape off the lint on the filter screen. Moreover, by setting a first component and a second component on the scraping component and the handle respectively, the attraction between the first component and the second component can drive the scraping component to move, without the handle directly contacting the scraping component, which can effectively avoid air leakage and lint leakage.

[0026] Furthermore, this invention, by setting a button, can lock the scraping component in its initial position to prevent it from moving automatically. By setting an elastic reset component between the outer shell and the button, the button can be automatically reset, and the first locking structure on the button and the second locking structure on the scraping component can be prevented from automatically separating.

[0043] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, although the embodiments described below are introduced in conjunction with a washer-dryer combo, the technical solution of the present invention is equally applicable to other types of clothing processing equipment, such as dryers.

[0044] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "left" and "right," which indicate direction or positional relationship, are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. This is merely for ease of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0045] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connect," and "install" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0046] Specifically, this utility model provides a washer-dryer combo machine, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the washer-dryer of this utility model includes a housing 1, a clothes handling drum and a drying system installed inside the housing 1. The drying system can deliver hot air into the clothes handling drum to dry the clothes inside the drum.

[0047] The garment handling drum includes an outer drum 2 and an inner drum that is rotatably installed in the outer drum 2. The drying system is directly connected to the outer drum 2. The inner drum is used to hold clothes. The inner drum wall is provided with multiple through holes. When the drying mode is executed, the through holes can be used for ventilation. When the washing mode is executed, the through holes can be used for water flow.

[0048] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the drying system of this utility model includes a drying device, which includes a drying duct 31, a fan 32, and a heat pump module. The air inlet 3111 of the drying duct 31 is connected to one end of the outer cylinder 2, the air outlet 3121 of the drying duct 31 is connected to the air intake of the fan 32, and the air exhaust port of the fan 32 is connected to the other end of the outer cylinder 2. The evaporator 33 and the condenser 34 of the heat pump module are installed in the drying duct 31, with the evaporator 33 located upstream of the condenser 34.

[0049] The heat pump module also includes a compressor 35, a refrigerant pipe 38 connecting the evaporator 33 and the condenser 34 to the compressor 35, and a throttling element installed on the refrigerant pipe 38. The compressor 35 is located outside the drying duct 31.

[0050] For example, the drying air duct 31 is located above the outer cylinder 2. An air outlet is provided on the cylinder wall of the outer cylinder 2. The air outlet is close to the rear end of the outer cylinder 2. A window gasket 22 is installed at the cylinder opening of the outer cylinder 2. A return air port is provided on the window gasket 22. The air inlet 3111 of the drying air duct 31 is connected to the air outlet through a corrugated pipe 36. The exhaust port of the fan 32 is connected to the return air port through a rubber pipe 37.

[0051] When the drying mode is executed, the fan 32 is started, and the humid air in the clothes handling drum is discharged through the air outlet and enters the drying air duct 31. After being condensed and dehumidified by the evaporator 33, it is heated by the condenser 34 and then flows back to the clothes handling drum from the return air outlet, completing one cycle.

[0052] It should be noted that this utility model is not limited to placing the drying air duct 31 above the clothes processing drum. For example, the drying air duct 31 can also be placed below or behind the outer drum 2. Such adjustments and changes to the specific installation position of the drying air duct 31 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model. Of course, this utility model preferably places the drying air duct 31 above the clothes processing drum, which is beneficial for making full use of the space above the clothes processing drum and optimizing the layout.

[0053] Furthermore, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can also interchange the positions of the air outlet and the air return on the outer cylinder 2, so that the front end of the clothing treatment cylinder is the outlet and the rear end is the inlet. Alternatively, the air outlet can be set on the rear wall of the outer cylinder 2, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0054] Furthermore, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can also connect the air intake of the fan 32 to the air outlet on the clothes processing drum, and then connect the exhaust port of the fan 32 to the air inlet 3111 of the drying duct 31. Alternatively, the drying duct 31 can be set into two sections, with the fan 32 installed between the two sections. Or, the fan 32 can be directly installed inside the drying duct 31, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the installation position of the fan 32 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should all be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0055] Furthermore, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can also omit the heat pump module in practical applications and use other types of dehumidifying and heating components to dehumidify and heat the airflow in the drying duct 31. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0056] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the drying system of the washer-dryer of this utility model also includes a lint collection device 4, which is installed in the drying air duct 31.

[0057] The lint collection device 4 is used to filter the airflow entering the drying duct 31. When the airflow in the drying duct 31 flows through the lint collection device 4, the lint and other impurities carried by the airflow are intercepted by the lint collection device 4. The filtered lint is stored in the lint collection device 4. The lint collection device 4 is preferably located upstream of the evaporator 33.

[0058] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the lint collection device 4 of this utility model is detachably installed in the drying air duct 31. The drying air duct 31 is provided with an insertion interface 3112, and the lint collection device 4 is inserted into the drying air duct 31 through the insertion interface 3112.

[0059] When it is necessary to clean the lint in the lint collection device 4, the lint collection device 4 can be removed from the drying air duct 31. A pressure sensor can be installed upstream and downstream of the lint collection device 4. The pressure difference between the two sensors determines whether the lint collection device 4 needs cleaning. When cleaning is required, a prompt message can be sent to the user to remind them to clean the lint collection device 4.

[0060] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can place the connector 3112 on the side of the drying duct 31, or on the top surface of the drying duct 31, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific location of the connector 3112 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model, and should all be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0061] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drying air duct 31 is provided with an interface 3112 on the side facing the front panel of the housing 1. The front panel is provided with a disassembly port opposite to the interface 3112, and the lint collection device 4 can be pulled out from the disassembly port.

[0062] When it is necessary to clean the lint collection device 4, the user can pull out the lint collection device 4 from the disassembly port on the front panel of the housing 1 for easy operation. After cleaning the lint collection device 4, the user can then insert the lint collection device 4 back in through the disassembly port.

[0063] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the drying air duct 31 of this utility model includes a first air duct 311 and a second air duct 312 that are connected to each other. The first air duct 311 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the second air duct 312 extends in the left-to-right direction and is close to the front end of the clothes processing drum. The air inlet port 3111 of the drying air duct 31 is located in the first air duct 311, and the air outlet port 3121 of the drying air duct 31 is located in the second air duct 312. The lint collection device 4 is installed in the first air duct 311, and the evaporator 33 and condenser 34 of the heat pump module are installed in the second air duct 312.

[0064] For example, both the first air duct 311 and the second air duct 312 are located above the outer cylinder 2. The first air duct 311 is located at the upper left of the outer cylinder 2 and extends from the rear end of the outer cylinder 2 to the front end. An air inlet port 3111 is provided on the bottom wall of the rear end of the first air duct 311. An air outlet on the outer cylinder 2 is located directly below the air inlet port 3111. The air outlet is connected to the upper air inlet port 3111 through a corrugated pipe 36. An insertion interface 3112 is provided at the front end of the first air duct 311. The lint collection device 4 is inserted into the first air duct 311 from the front end of the first air duct 311. The left end of the second air duct 312 is connected to the first air duct 311. An air outlet port 3121 is provided at the right end of the second air duct 312. A fan 32 is located at the upper right of the outer cylinder 2. The air inlet of the fan 32 is connected to the air outlet port 3121 on the second air duct 312.

[0065] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art may also place the first air duct 311 on the upper right of the clothing processing drum, and correspondingly place the fan 32 on the upper left of the clothing processing drum. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model, and should all be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0066] Of course, in this utility model, the first air duct 311 is preferably set in the upper left of the outer cylinder 2. A clothing treatment agent dispensing device is generally also set in the upper left corner. In this utility model, the first air duct 311 is preferably set directly above the clothing treatment agent dispensing device, that is, the clothing treatment agent dispensing device is located between the drying air duct 31 and the outer cylinder 2.

[0067] Preferably, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lint collection device 4 of this utility model includes a housing 41 and a filter screen installed on the housing 41. The housing 41 has an air inlet 411 at its first end along a first direction, and an air outlet 412 between the first end and the second end of the housing 41. The filter screen is installed at the air outlet 412.

[0068] For example, the outer shell 41 is a cuboid structure, with the first direction being the length direction of the outer shell 41. The first end of the outer shell 41 has an air inlet 411, and the second end of the outer shell 41 is sealed. An air outlet 412 is located on the side plate between the first end and the second end. A filter screen is installed at the air outlet 412. After the airflow enters the first air duct 311, it enters the outer shell 41 from the air inlet 411, and then exits from the air outlet 412 and enters the second air duct 312. When the airflow passes through the filter screen at the air outlet 412, the lint carried by the airflow is intercepted by the filter screen and remains inside the outer shell 41.

[0069] Preferably, such as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the wire scraping collection device 4 of this utility model also includes a scraping component, which is located at the second end of the housing 41. The scraping component can move along the first direction toward the first end of the housing 41 to push the wire scraping inside the housing 41 toward the air inlet 411.

[0070] By providing a scraping component inside the housing 41, when it is necessary to clean the lint inside the housing 41, the scraping component can push the lint inside the housing 41 toward the air inlet 411 of the housing 41, which facilitates the cleaning of lint, improves the cleaning effect of lint, and enhances the user experience. In addition, as the scraping component moves toward the first end of the housing 41, it can also scrape off the lint on the filter screen.

[0071] Preferably, such as Figures 4 to 8As shown, the scraping assembly of this utility model includes a scraping component 42 and a handle 43. The scraping component 42 is located inside the outer casing 41, and a first component 44 is provided on the scraping component 42 (see details). Figure 6 The handle 43 is located outside the housing 41, and a second component 45 is provided on the handle 43 (see details). Figure 6 At least one of the first component 44 and the second component 45 has a magnetic force, so that the first component 44 and the second component 45 attract each other, thereby enabling the handle 43 to drive the scraping component 42 to move along the first direction toward the first end of the housing 41, thereby causing the scraping component 42 to push the wire debris inside the housing 41 toward the air inlet 411.

[0072] In other words, the handle 43 does not contact the scraping member 42. This eliminates the need to make holes in the housing 41 to connect the handle 43 and the scraping member 42. This design avoids air leakage, which helps ensure drying efficiency and prevents lint from leaking out.

[0073] For example, the edge of the scraping member 42 is attached to the inner wall of the housing 41, and the handle 43 is located on the top surface of the housing 41. As the handle 43 moves with the scraping member 42, the scraping member 42 pushes the wire debris inside the housing 41 toward the air inlet of the housing 41. By making the edge of the scraping member 42 attached to the inner wall of the housing 41, it is beneficial to clean the wire debris inside the housing 41.

[0074] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the specific structural form of the scraping component 42. For example, the scraping component 42 can be set as a plate structure, a block structure, or a frame structure, etc.

[0075] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can set one of the first component 44 and the second component 45 as a magnet or electromagnet, and set the other of the first component 44 and the second component 45 as a metal component (such as an iron block) capable of generating an attractive force with a magnet. Alternatively, both the first component 44 and the second component 45 can be set as magnets or electromagnets, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0076] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, both the first component 44 and the second component 45 are magnets.

[0077] By setting both the first component 44 and the second component 45 as magnets, the attraction between the first component 44 and the second component 45 is stronger, which helps the handle 43 to move smoothly with the scraping component 42.

[0078] Preferably, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the scraping component 42 of this utility model is provided with a first receiving and limiting groove 423 on the side facing the handle 43, and the first component 44 is located in the first receiving and limiting groove 423. The handle 43 is provided with a second receiving and limiting groove on the side facing the scraping component 42, and the second component 45 is located in the second receiving and limiting groove.

[0079] By installing the first component 44 and the second component 45 in the first receiving limiting groove 423 and the second receiving limiting groove respectively, it is possible to prevent the first component 44 from moving relative to the scraping component 42 and to prevent the second component 45 from moving relative to the handle 43, which is more conducive to the smooth movement of the handle 43 with the scraping component 42.

[0080] For example, the handle 43 is located above the scraping member 42, the first receiving and limiting groove 423 is provided on the top of the scraping member 42, the first receiving and limiting groove 423 is a rectangular groove, and a rectangular magnet block (i.e., the first member 44) is installed in the first receiving and limiting groove 423. The second receiving and limiting groove is provided on the lower surface of the handle 43, the second receiving and limiting groove is also a rectangular groove, and a rectangular magnet block (i.e., the second member 45) is also installed in the second receiving and limiting groove.

[0081] Preferably, such as Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the outer casing 41 is provided with a first guide structure 414, and the handle 43 is provided with a second guide structure 431. The first guide structure 414 and the second guide structure 431 cooperate to enable the handle 43 to reciprocate only in the first direction.

[0082] The handle 43 is guided and limited by the first guide structure 414 and the second guide structure 431, which facilitates the operation of the handle 43.

[0083] For example, the first guide structure 414 is disposed on the top of the housing 41. With the cooperation of the first guide structure 414 and the second guide structure 431, the handle 43 can only move along the length direction of the housing 41, and cannot move along the width direction of the housing 41 or along the height direction of the housing 41.

[0084] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the specific structural form of the first guide structure 414 and the second guide structure 431. For example, the first guide structure 414 and the second guide structure 431 can be configured as a structure in which the guide groove and the guide rib cooperate, or as a structure in which the guide rod and the guide hole cooperate, or as a structure in which the guide groove and the guide post cooperate, etc.

[0085] Preferably, such as Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, a strip-shaped groove 415 is provided on the top of the outer shell 41. The strip-shaped groove 415 extends along the first direction. The first guide structure 414 is a guide groove formed on the side wall of the strip-shaped groove 415. The guide groove extends along the first direction. The second guide structure 431 is a guide rib adapted to the guide groove. The guide rib is inserted into the guide groove.

[0086] For example, a strip groove 415 is formed on the upper surface of the housing 41 and extends along the length of the housing 41. A guide groove is formed on each of the two side walls of the strip groove 415. A guide rib is provided on each side of the handle 43, and the two guide ribs are respectively inserted into the corresponding guide grooves.

[0087] Preferably, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the scraping component of this utility model also includes a button 46 installed on the housing 41. The button 46 is provided with a first locking structure 461, and the scraping component 42 is provided with a second locking structure 422. The first locking structure 461 and the second locking structure 422 cooperate to lock the scraping component 42 in the initial position.

[0088] By setting button 46, it is possible to prevent the scraping component 42 from moving automatically in the first direction.

[0089] For example, a mounting hole is provided on the top of the housing 41, and a mounting cavity 416 is provided inside the housing 41 (see details). Figure 6 The mounting cavity 416 is located directly below the mounting hole. The button 46 is inserted vertically into the mounting cavity 416 through the mounting hole. The top surface of the button 46 is basically flush with the top surface of the outer shell 41. When it is necessary to scrape the wire debris inside the outer shell 41 by scraping the scraping member 42, press the button 46 down to separate the first locking structure 461 on the button 46 from the second locking structure 422 on the scraping member 42. Then, the scraping member 42 can be moved along the first direction by the handle 43.

[0090] It should be noted that in order to prevent air leakage at the mounting hole, a sealing structure needs to be set. For example, a rubber sleeve can be installed on the top of button 46, and the rubber sleeve can be sealed and fitted to the inner wall of the mounting hole, etc.

[0091] Furthermore, it should be noted that this utility model does not limit the structural form of the first locking structure 461 and the second locking structure 422. For example, it can be configured as a structure in which the lock hook and the lock hole cooperate, or as a structure in which two lock hooks cooperate, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structural forms of the first locking structure 461 and the second locking structure 422 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model, and should all be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0092] Preferably, such as Figure 6As shown, the first locking structure 461 is a first locking hook, and the second locking structure 422 is a second locking hook that cooperates with the first locking hook.

[0093] For example, the button 46 is provided with two first hooks, which are distributed vertically at intervals and both facing upwards. The scraping member 42 is provided with two second hooks, which are distributed vertically at intervals and both facing downwards. The two first hooks hook the corresponding second hooks respectively.

[0094] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, the scraping assembly of this utility model also includes an elastic reset member 47 installed between the housing 41 and the button 46. After the button 46 is pressed, the elastic reset member 47 is compressed or stretched, and the elastic reset member 47 resets the button 46 after the button 46 is released from pressure.

[0095] For example, the elastic reset member 47 is configured as a vertical spring. A limiting post 417 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 416 of the housing 41. The bottom end of the button 46 is provided with a slot 462, which extends along the length of the button 46. The elastic reset member 47 is inserted into the slot 462. The top end of the elastic reset member 47 abuts against the top wall of the slot 462, and the bottom end of the elastic reset member 47 is sleeved on the limiting post 417 and abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 416. When the user presses the button 46 down, the button 46 moves vertically downward, and the elastic reset member 47 is compressed. When the user stops pressing the button 46, the elastic reset member 47 pushes the button 46 upward, so that the button 46 is reset.

[0096] It should be noted that the elastic reset component 47 is not limited to the spring mentioned above. For example, it can also be set as a rubber column or an elastic rope. If it is an elastic rope, the top end of the elastic rope can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 41, and the bottom end of the elastic rope can be fixedly connected to the button 46. When the button 46 is pressed down, the elastic rope is stretched. After the button 46 is released, the elastic rope contracts, thereby resetting the button 46. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structural form of the elastic reset component 47 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0097] Preferably, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the scraping component 42 of this utility model is provided with a guide cylinder 421, and the outer shell 41 is provided with a guide rod 413 adapted to the guide cylinder 421. The guide rod 413 extends along the first direction, and the guide cylinder 421 is sleeved on the guide rod 413. The guide cylinder 421 and the guide rod 413 are guided and cooperated to guide the scraping component 42 during its movement along the first direction.

[0098] For example, three guide rods 413 are provided on the outer shell 41, two of which are located at the top, near the top of the outer shell 41 and spaced apart along the width direction of the outer shell 41, and the remaining guide rod 413 is located at the bottom, near the inner bottom wall of the outer shell 41 and in the middle of the inner bottom wall. That is, the three guide rods 413 are distributed in an inverted triangular shape. The number of guide cylinders 421 is also three, and the distribution is the same as that of the guide rods 413, that is, they are also distributed in an inverted triangular shape.

[0099] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can also arrange the three guide cylinders 421 and the three guide rods 413 in a triangular pattern. Furthermore, the number of guide cylinders 421 and the number of guide rods 413 are not limited to the three mentioned above. For example, they can also be set to one, two, or four, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0100] During the movement of the scraping component 42 along the first direction, the guide cylinder moves along the length of the guide rod to prevent the scraping component 42 from shifting.

[0101] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the scraping assembly of this utility model also includes an elastic driving member 48 disposed between the scraping member 42 and the housing 41. The elastic driving member 48 extends along a first direction. When the scraping member 42 is in the initial position, the elastic driving member 48 is compressed or stretched. When the first locking structure 461 on the button 46 is separated from the second locking structure 422 on the scraping member 42, the elastic driving member 48 can push or pull the scraping member 42 to move along the first direction toward the first end of the housing 41.

[0102] In other words, when button 46 is pressed, the scraping member 42 can also move along the first direction under the action of the elastic drive member 48.

[0103] For example, the elastic drive member 48 is configured as a spring, which is sleeved on the guide rod 413. The elastic drive member 48 is located between the guide cylinder 421 and the outer shell 41, specifically between the second end of the guide cylinder 421 and the outer shell 41. The two ends of the elastic drive member 48 abut against the guide cylinder 421 and the outer shell 41, respectively. When the scraping member 42 is in the initial position, the elastic drive member 48 is in a compressed state. After the user presses down the button 46, the first locking structure 461 on the button 46 separates from the second locking structure 422 on the scraping member 42, and the elastic drive member 48 pushes the scraping member 42 to move toward the first end of the outer shell 41.

[0104] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can also place the elastic drive member 48 between the guide cylinder 421 and the first end of the housing 41. In this case, when the scraping member 42 is in the initial position, the elastic drive member 48 is in a stretched state. After the user presses down the button 46, the first locking structure 461 on the button 46 separates from the second locking structure 422 on the scraping member 42, and the elastic drive member 48 pulls the scraping member 42 toward the first end of the housing 41.

[0105] Furthermore, it should be noted that the elastic drive component 48 is not limited to the spring described above. For example, it can also be an elastic component such as a rubber column, a rubber sleeve, or an elastic rope. Of course, this invention preferably uses a spring as the elastic drive component 48.

[0106] Furthermore, it should be noted that when multiple guide rods 413 are provided, it is preferable to sleeve an elastic driving member 48 on each guide rod 413. For example, there are three guide rods 413 and three elastic driving members 48, which are respectively sleeved on the corresponding guide rods 413. Such flexible adjustment and change do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0107] Preferably, such as Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the washer-dryer of this utility model also includes a support member 5. The top of the support member 5 is fixedly connected to the drying air duct 31, and the bottom of the support member 5 is fixedly connected to the housing 1.

[0108] By fixing the drying duct 31 to the housing 1 with the support member 5, the stability of the drying duct 31 can be improved. The support member 5 is preferably made of metal.

[0109] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the specific structural form of the support member 5. For example, the support member 5 can be set as a support plate, support frame or support column, etc.

[0110] For example, a clothing treatment agent dispensing device is provided below the first air duct 311, and the support member 5 is installed at the position of the first air duct 311, that is, the top of the support member 5 is fixedly connected to the first air duct 311.

[0111] Preferably, the support member 5 is also connected to the garment treatment agent dispensing device.

[0112] In other words, the top of the support member 5 is fixedly connected to the drying duct 31, the middle position of the support member 5 is connected to the garment treatment agent dispensing device, and the bottom of the support member 5 is fixedly connected to the box 1, which can further improve the stability of the drying duct 31.

[0113] For example, a latch 57 is provided on the support member 5, and a claw adapted to the latch is provided on the clothing treatment agent dispensing device, and the claw engages with the latch 57.

[0114] It should be noted that the connection between the support member 5 and the clothing treatment agent dispensing device is not limited to the above-mentioned connection via claws and slots. For example, the two can also be fixedly connected by fasteners such as screws.

[0115] Furthermore, it should be noted that the present invention does not limit the number of supporting components 5. For example, it can be set to 1, 2 or more. The supporting components 5 are mainly set at the position where there is a certain vertical gap between the drying air duct 31 and the box 1. For the position where there is no vertical gap between the drying air duct 31 and the box 1, the drying air duct 31 and the box 1 can be directly fixedly connected by fasteners such as screws.

[0116] Preferably, such as Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the support member 5 of this utility model includes a vertically arranged plate-shaped body 51, a first flange 52 is provided on the top of the plate-shaped body 51, the first flange 52 is arranged horizontally and fixedly connected to the drying air duct 31, and a second flange 53 is provided on the bottom of the plate-shaped body 51, the second flange 53 is arranged horizontally and fixedly connected to the box body 1.

[0117] For example, a long strip-shaped first flange 52 is provided on the top of the plate-shaped body 51, and a connecting boss 3113 is provided on the first air duct 311. The first flange 52 fits into the connecting boss 3113, and the two are fixedly connected by multiple screws. Two second flanges 53 are provided at the bottom of the plate-shaped body 51. The two second flanges 53 are respectively located near the left and right sides of the plate-shaped body 51, and the second flanges 53 are also fixedly connected to the housing 1 by screws.

[0118] Preferably, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the bottom of the support member 5 is provided with a first plug-in structure 56, and the box body 1 is provided with a second plug-in structure. The first plug-in structure 56 and the second plug-in structure are plugged into each other.

[0119] By setting a first plug-in structure 56 and a second plug-in structure that cooperate with each other on the support member 5 and the box 1 respectively, it is beneficial to improve the assembly efficiency.

[0120] Specifically, during assembly, the support member 5 can be fixedly connected to the drying air duct 31 first, and then the first plug-in structure 56 on the support member 5 can be made to cooperate with the second plug-in structure on the box 1 to place the drying air duct 31 on the top of the box 1. Then, the other positions of the support member 5 and the drying air duct 31 can be fixedly connected to the box 1 by fasteners.

[0121] For example, the first plug-in structure 56 is a plug-in plate disposed at the bottom of the plate-shaped body 51, the plug-in plate being located between the two second flanges 53, and the second plug-in structure is a plug-in interface formed on the housing 1, wherein during assembly, the plug-in plate is vertically inserted into the plug-in interface.

[0122] It should be noted that the first plug-in structure 56 and the second plug-in structure are not limited to the above-mentioned plug-in plate and plug-in interface matching structure. For example, they can also be set as matching plug-in post and plug-in interface or matching plug-in plate and plug-in slot, etc.

[0123] Preferably, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the side of the plate-shaped body 51 of the support member 5 is provided with a third flange 54.

[0124] By providing a third flange 54 on the side of the plate-shaped body 51, the structural strength of the plate-shaped body 51 can be improved, which helps to prevent the plate-shaped body 51 from deforming, thereby further improving the stability of the drying air duct 31.

[0125] Preferably, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a reinforcing structure 55 is provided on the plate-shaped body 51 of the support member 5. The reinforcing structure 55 is formed by one surface of the plate-shaped body 51 being recessed towards the other surface.

[0126] By providing a reinforcing structure 55 on the plate-shaped body 51, the structural strength of the plate-shaped body 51 can be improved, which helps to prevent the plate-shaped body 51 from deforming, thereby further improving the stability of the drying air duct 31.

[0127] Preferably, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the reinforcing structure 55 is strip-shaped and there are multiple reinforcing structures 55. Some of the multiple reinforcing structures 55 extend in the vertical direction, and another part of the multiple reinforcing structures 55 extends in the horizontal direction.

[0128] For example, three vertically extending reinforcing structures 55 and three horizontally extending reinforcing structures 55 are provided on the plate-shaped body 51.

For example, any of the claimed embodiments in the claims of this application can be used in any combination.

[0130] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
