[0059] In existing garment treatment equipment with steam care function, the steam generator is mounted on the front support with the help of a mounting box. Due to the limitations of the front support itself and other components on the front support, the installation position of the mounting box is limited, and the steam generator cannot be flexibly set according to the steam nozzle, which increases the difficulty and complexity of disassembling and assembling the steam generator.
[0060] This utility model creatively provides a garment processing device, including a housing assembly, a front support, a roller, and a steam generating assembly. The housing assembly includes a housing and a frame, with a housing cavity formed inside the housing. The front support, roller, and frame are all disposed within the housing cavity. The front support is located in front of the roller, and the frame surrounds the roller and the front support as a whole. The steam generating assembly includes a connected steam nozzle and a steam generator. The steam nozzle is disposed on the front support, and the steam generator is disposed in front of the front support, with the steam generator and steam nozzle arranged adjacent to each other. The steam generator is disposed on the housing or the frame; or, a water collection box is provided between the upper side of the roller and the housing, and the steam generator is disposed on the water collection box. The steam generator is not limited by the structure of the front support itself or other components on the front support, making the installation position more flexible and the disassembly and assembly of the steam generator more flexible.
[0061] Example 1
[0062] like Figures 1a to 10 As shown, this embodiment provides a steam generating assembly 7, which includes:
[0063] The mounting box includes a mounting box body 781 and a mounting cover 783. The mounting box body 781 is made of heat-resistant material and has a mounting cavity 782 inside. The top of the mounting box body 781 has an opening communicating with the mounting cavity 782. The mounting cover 783 is placed over the opening and can be detachably connected to the mounting box body 781 or used to fix the mounting box.
[0064] The steam generator 75 is installed in the mounting cavity 782 through an opening, and is used to provide steam to the drum 2 of the garment processing equipment to care for the garments; that is, the steam generator 75 is installed in the mounting cavity 782, and the mounting box 781 and the mounting cover 783 are connected and fixed together.
[0065] Insulation cotton 81 is disposed between steam generator 75 and mounting cover 783.
[0066] The heat insulation shell in the prior art has been eliminated. The top of the steam generator 75 is insulated by heat insulation cotton 81 to prevent the heat emitted by the evaporator from being directly transferred to the mounting cover 783. Other parts of the steam generator 75 are insulated by the mounting box 781. While achieving full heat insulation for the steam generator 75, the structure of the heat insulation components has been simplified and the number of heat insulation components has been reduced, making it more convenient to install the water inlet pipe, steam outlet pipe and wiring terminals of the steam generator.
[0067] Furthermore, the mounting box 781 can withstand temperatures greater than or equal to 200°C, preventing the heat emanating from the steam generator 75 from affecting the lifespan of the mounting box 781.
[0068] The following further describes the specific structure of the mounting box 781 and the steam generator 75. The mounting box 781 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure and is a heat-resistant injection molded part. Support platforms are set at the four corners of the mounting cavity 782 for placing the steam generator 75. The mounting box 781 includes a first sidewall 785 and a second sidewall 786 arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction. The first sidewall 785 forms a first clearance groove 787, and the second sidewall 786 forms a second clearance groove 788. Both the first clearance groove 787 and the second clearance groove 788 are connected to the mounting cavity 782. Specifically, the first sidewall 785 and the second sidewall 786 are arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction. Both the first clearance groove 787 and the second clearance groove 78 are elongated and extend in the vertical direction. The first clearance groove 787 extends to the top of the first sidewall 785, and the second clearance groove 78 extends to the top of the second sidewall 786.
[0069] The steam generator 75 includes a generator body, a generator water inlet connector 751, and a generator steam outlet connector 752. A generator water inlet is formed on one side of the generator body, and a generator steam outlet is formed on the other side. One end of the generator water inlet connector 751 is located at the generator water inlet, and the other end passes through the first clearance groove 787 and is located outside the mounting cavity 782. One end of the generator steam outlet connector 752 is located at the generator steam outlet, and the other end passes through the second clearance groove 788 and is located outside the mounting cavity 782.
[0070] Furthermore, a terminal hole is formed on the bottom wall of the mounting box 781; a first terminal interface is formed on the bottom of the generator body; and a second terminal interface is formed on the side of the generator body near the first side wall 785.
[0071] The steam generator 75 also includes a first terminal 791 and a second terminal 792. One end of the first terminal 791 is located at the first terminal interface, and the other end passes through the terminal hole and is located outside the mounting cavity 782. One end of the second terminal 792 is located at the second terminal interface, and the other end passes through the first clearance groove 787 and is located outside the mounting cavity 782. Specifically, when the generator body is installed in the mounting cavity 782, the positions of the generator water inlet connector 751 and the first clearance groove 787 are aligned, and the positions of the generator steam outlet connector 752 and the second clearance groove 788 are aligned. The generator body, the generator water inlet connector 751, and the generator steam outlet connector 752 are installed as a whole in the mounting cavity 782 through the opening.
[0072] The following further describes the specific structure of the mounting cover 783. The mounting cover 783 is made of metal and includes a cover body 7831 and a cover mounting part 7832. The cover body 7831 covers the opening. The cover body 7831 has a first connecting structure, and the top of the mounting box 781 has a second connecting structure. The first connecting structure and the second connecting structure cooperate to make the mounting cover 783 and the mounting box 781 detachably connected. Specifically, both the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure are fixing holes. After the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure are cooperated, they are connected by screws.
[0073] One end of the cover mounting portion 7832 is connected to the cover body 7831, and the other end of the cover mounting portion 7832 extends upward toward the cover body 7831; the cover mounting portion 7832 forms a third connecting structure, which is used to fix the mounting box; specifically, the cover body 7831 and the cover mounting portion 7832 are integrally formed and form an L-shaped structure, the cover body 7831 extends in the horizontal direction, and the cover mounting portion 7832 extends in the vertical direction; the third connecting structure is a fixing hole.
[0074] Furthermore, the length of the cover body 7831 is greater than the length of the mounting box 781, which is used to cover the second wiring terminal 792 to prevent the external water flow channel from causing circuit failure; specifically, the cover body 7831 extends from the second side wall 786 to the first side wall 785 and exceeds the mounting box 781.
[0075] The cover body 7831 also has heat dissipation holes 784 to accelerate the heat dissipation after the steam generator 75 stops working and prevent excessive residual heat from entering the drum 2 through the steam nozzle 77; specifically, the heat dissipation holes 784 are elongated holes, and the extension direction of the heat dissipation holes 784 is consistent with the length direction of the mounting box 781.
[0076] In other embodiments, the bottom wall of the mounting box 781 is formed with a terminal hole, and an external terminal is provided in the terminal hole. The diameter of the terminal hole and the diameter of the external terminal are matched. A first terminal interface is formed at the bottom of the generator body, and an internal terminal is provided on the first terminal interface. The external terminal and the internal terminal are electrically connected to prevent the heat emitted by the steam generator 75 from being discharged through the terminal hole.
[0077] The following further describes other components of the steam generating assembly 7. The steam generating assembly 7 also includes a water collection box 71, a water pump 72, a water pump 73, a generator inlet pipe 74, a steam outlet pipe 76, and a steam nozzle 77. The water collection box 71, water pump 72, water pump 73, generator inlet pipe 74, steam generator 75, steam outlet pipe 76, and steam nozzle 77 are sequentially connected to form a steam flow path. The steam generator 75 and the steam nozzle 77 are arranged adjacent to each other. The steam flow path is used to transport water in the water collection box 71 to the steam generator 75, so that the water is converted into steam under the action of the steam generator 75. Then the steam is sprayed into the drum 2 through the steam nozzle 77.
[0078] Specifically, the water pump 72 is a telescopic pipe, and the water pump 73 is an electromagnetic pump.

[0081] The steam generating assembly 7 includes a steam nozzle 77 and a steam generator 75. The steam nozzle 77 is mounted on the front support 3 and is close to the cylinder opening 21 of the roller 2. The steam generator 75 is mounted in front of the front support 3 and is arranged adjacent to the steam nozzle 77. The steam nozzle 77 and the steam generator 75 are connected by a steam outlet pipe 76. The steam generated by the steam generator 75 can enter the steam nozzle 77 through the steam outlet pipe 76 and then be sprayed onto the roller 2. Shortening the length of the steam outlet pipe 76 reduces steam heat loss and steam condensation, thereby improving the steam treatment effect.
[0082] Steam generator 75 is mounted on housing 1 or frame 6; or,
[0083] A water collection box 71 is provided between the upper side of the drum 2 and the box 1, and a steam generator 75 is installed on the water collection box 71. The steam generator 75 is not limited by the structure of the front support itself or other components on the front support, making the installation position more flexible and the disassembly and assembly of the steam generator more flexible.
[0084] Furthermore, when the steam generator 75 is mounted on the housing 1, the housing 1 includes a front panel 11, which is located in front of the front support 3; the steam generator 75 is mounted on the front panel 11; or,

[0087] The following further describes the specific structure of the mounting box. The steam generating assembly 7 also includes a mounting box, which includes a mounting box body 781 and a mounting cover 783. The mounting box body 781 has a mounting cavity 782 inside, and the top of the mounting box body 781 has an opening communicating with the mounting cavity 782. The steam generator 75 can be installed in the mounting cavity 782 through the opening.
[0088] The mounting cover 783 includes a cover body 7831 and a cover mounting part 7832. The cover body 7831 covers the opening and is connected to the mounting box 781. The cover mounting part 7832 is provided on the front panel 11, the front upper crossbeam 61, or the box mounting base 711.

[0091] The vertical and / or horizontal position of the cover mounting part 7832 on the front panel 11 can be adjusted. By adjusting the position of the cover mounting part 7832 on the front panel 11, the length and / or extension direction of the steam outlet pipe 76 can be adjusted.
[0092] Specifically, the cover mounting part 7832 has a hook, and the front panel 11 has a groove, with the hook engaging in the groove.
[0093] Second, such as Figures 7a to 7bAs shown, the cover mounting part 7832 is located in front of the cover body 7831, and the cover mounting part 7832 is connected to the front upper crossbeam 61. The cover mounting part 7832 is located on the upper side front of the steam nozzle 77.

[0098] Specifically, the cover mounting part 7832 has a cover fixing hole, the box mounting base 711 has a box fixing hole, the cover fixing hole and the box fixing hole correspond to each other and are connected by screws.
[0099] To address the issue of varying connection structures required for the cover mounting portion 7832 depending on the installation location of the steam generator 75, thus complicating its structure, this embodiment proposes that the cover mounting portion 7832 has a cover connection structure, with any one of the front panel 11, the upper front crossbeam 61, or the box mounting base 711 having a mating connection structure 9. The cover connection structure connects with the mating connection structure 9 on the front panel 11, connecting the cover mounting portion 7832 to the front panel 11; the cover connection structure connects with the mating connection structure 9 on the upper front crossbeam 61, connecting the cover mounting portion 7832 to the upper front crossbeam 61; and the cover connection structure connects with the mating connection structure 9 on the box mounting base 711, connecting the cover mounting portion 7832 to the box mounting base 711. This simplifies the structure of the cover mounting portion 7832, allowing the steam generator 75 to be flexibly installed in different locations.
[0100] To address the issue that the connection structure of the cover mounting portion 7832 cannot be adapted when the installation position of the steam generator 75 is different, this embodiment proposes that the cover mounting portion 7832 is formed with a first cover connecting structure, a second cover connecting structure, and a third cover connecting structure; a first mating connecting structure is formed on the front panel 11; a second mating connecting structure is formed on the front upper crossbeam 61; and a third mating connecting structure is formed on the box mounting base 711. The first cover connecting structure and the first mating connecting structure are connected to achieve the connection between the cover mounting portion 7832 and the front panel 11; the second cover connecting structure and the second mating connecting structure are connected to achieve the connection between the cover mounting portion 7832 and the front upper crossbeam 61; and the third cover connecting structure and the third mating connecting structure are connected to achieve the connection between the cover mounting portion 7832 and the box mounting base 711.
[0101] At least two of the first cover connection structure, the second cover connection structure, and the third cover connection structure have different shapes; the cover connection structure of the corresponding shape can be selected according to the installation position, so that the same mounting cover 783 can be installed in different positions, thereby expanding the applicability of the mounting cover 783.
[0102] Example 3
[0103] like Figures 1a to 5d As shown, based on implementations 1 and 2, this embodiment provides a steam nozzle 77, which has a buffer chamber 776 formed inside, and a nozzle steam inlet and a nozzle steam outlet 775 formed on the side wall of the steam nozzle 77.
[0104] The nozzle inlet connects the steam generator 75 and the buffer chamber 776, and is used to transport the steam discharged from the steam generator 75 to the buffer chamber 776. This allows the steam discharged from the steam generator 75 to first pass through the buffer chamber 776, where it is buffered to reduce its temperature and pressure before entering the roller 2. This prevents damage to clothing and avoids excessively high steam pressure, temperature, and velocity from the steam generator 75 directly spraying onto the clothing, which could cause damage. The nozzle outlet 775 connects the buffer chamber 776 and the roller 2, and is used to transport the steam in the buffer chamber 776 to the roller 2.
[0105] A guide rib 777 is provided at the steam outlet 775 of the nozzle to guide the steam, so that the steam is dispersed into the drum 2, thereby increasing the steam coverage area and enhancing the steam treatment effect.
[0106] Furthermore, the angle between the guiding direction of the guide rib 777 and the axis of the drum 2 is θ, where θ satisfies: 10° < θ < 60°, so as to facilitate the steam flow to the diagonal of the drum 2 and the steam nozzle 77;
[0107] To maximize the drainage range of the guide rib 777 and meet diverse nursing needs, this embodiment proposes the following two methods:
[0108] First, the guide ribs 777 are detachably installed at the steam outlet 775 of the nozzle. The appropriate structure of the guide ribs 777 can be selected and installed at the steam outlet 775 of the nozzle according to actual needs. This allows the direction of the steam sprayed from the steam nozzle 77 to match the position of the clothes inside the roller 2, so that the steam reaches different areas inside the roller 2 and makes full contact with the clothes, achieving comprehensive and thorough care and improving the care effect. The guide ribs 777 have greater guiding accuracy and can meet different care needs.
[0109] Secondly, the position of the guide rib 777 at the steam outlet 775 of the nozzle can be adjusted according to actual needs; so that the direction of the steam sprayed by the steam nozzle 77 matches the position of the clothes in the roller 2, so that the steam reaches different areas in the roller 2 and makes full contact with the clothes, achieving comprehensive and thorough care and improving the care effect; the guide rib 777 has greater guiding accuracy to meet different care needs;
[0110] Third, the guide ribs 777 are oscillatingly set at the steam outlet 775 of the nozzle, and the guiding direction of the guide ribs 777 can be adjusted according to the distribution of clothing in the roller 2; wherein, the distribution of clothing in the roller 2 includes the distribution position and distribution volume of the clothing; so that the direction of the steam sprayed by the steam nozzles 77 is adapted to the position of the clothing in the roller 2, so that the steam reaches different areas in the roller 2 and makes full contact with the clothing, achieving comprehensive and thorough care and improving the care effect; the guiding accuracy of the guide ribs 777 is greatly improved to meet different care needs.
[0111] This embodiment also proposes optimization of the structure and position of the nozzle steam outlet 775. Along the depth direction of the nozzle steam outlet 775, from the inside of the buffer chamber 776 to the outside, the flow area of the nozzle steam outlet 775 gradually decreases; or,
[0112] The nozzle has multiple steam outlets 775, which are distributed in a divergent manner on the side wall where they are located. That is, with the center of the side wall where the nozzle is located as the center, the multiple nozzles 775 are distributed in a divergent manner from the inside to the outside, so that the steam coverage area is wider.
[0113] Preferably, the steam outlet 775 of the nozzle faces downwards from the rear wall 22 of the roller 2, so as to guide the steam into the roller 2 and act directly on the clothes.
[0114] In addition, the steam nozzle 77 includes a nozzle box 771 and a nozzle cover 772, which are fastened together to form a buffer cavity 776; the nozzle box 771 has a nozzle steam inlet, and the nozzle cover 772 has a nozzle steam outlet 775; both the nozzle steam inlet and the nozzle steam outlet 775 are connected to the buffer cavity 776.
[0115] A steam inlet connector 778 is provided at the steam inlet of the nozzle, and the steam inlet connector 778 and the steam generator 75 are connected through a steam outlet pipe 76.
[0116] A nozzle mounting port 313 is formed on the front support 3, and the nozzle box 771 is fixed to the nozzle mounting port 313 by fasteners 773; a sealing element 774 is provided between the nozzle box 771 and the nozzle mounting port 313. The sealing element 774 is sealed by the squeezing action of the fasteners 773, so that the air in the roller 2 is prevented from being discharged through the gap between the nozzle box 771 and the nozzle mounting port 313.
[0117] Specifically, fastener 773 is a nut, and seal 774 is a sealing ring.

The back panel 14 has a back panel air outlet 141. One end of the rear air duct 151 is connected to the drum air inlet 221 through the back panel air outlet 141. A rotatable drying fan blade 52 is provided inside the rear air duct 151.
[0123] The two-device assembly 4 includes a two-device box 41 and two devices. The two-device box 41 is disposed on the base 53 and located below the drum 2. The two-device box 41 forms a box channel 411, which connects the front air duct 321 and the rear air duct 151, so that the front air duct 321, the box channel 411, the rear air duct 151 and the drum 2 are sequentially connected to form a drying flow path. The two devices are disposed in the box channel 411 and include an evaporator 42 and a condenser 43. The evaporator 42 is used to dehumidify the flowing drying air, and the condenser 43 is used to heat the flowing drying air.
