[0051] In related technologies, clothes dryers are gradually being used by more and more families. To improve the user experience, clothes dryers are equipped with aromatherapy functions, which release scented gases into the clothes through aromatherapy boxes, allowing the fragrance to adhere to the clothes.

[0052] In view of this, this application aims to provide an aromatherapy box 100 that can be used in clothing processing equipment, such as a washing machine, a dryer (also known as a clothes dryer), or a washer-dryer combo. This application uses a dryer as an example for illustration. The dryer includes a drying chamber where clothes are placed for drying, and the aromatherapy box 100 emits a scent that can enter the drying chamber and adhere to the clothes.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 The aromatherapy box 100 includes a box body 10 and an adjustment plate 20. The box body 10 has a receiving cavity 10a and a vent hole 10b communicating with the receiving cavity 10a; the adjustment plate 20 is movably connected to the box body 10 so that the adjustment plate 20 can switch between blocking at least part of the vent hole 10b and opening at least part of the vent hole 10b to adjust the ventilation area of ​​the vent hole 10b. The ventilation area refers to the area of ​​the vent hole 10b not blocked by the adjustment plate 20, so that the receiving cavity 10a can communicate with the outside of the box body 10 through the vent hole 10b, allowing the scent to diffuse onto clothing.

[0054] The receiving cavity 10a is used to hold the fragrance diffuser. When the adjusting plate 20 completely blocks the vent 10b, the fragrance diffuser will not diffuse its scent outward through the vent 10b, thereby reducing wear and tear on the fragrance diffuser when the garment processing equipment is not performing a drying operation. The adjusting plate 20 can be moved to adjust the exposed area of ​​the vent 10b, allowing the scent of the fragrance diffuser to diffuse onto the clothing through the vent 10b.

[0055] For example, aromatherapy diffusers can be manufactured in granular, solid, or powder form. When the aromatherapy diffuser is in granular or powder form, it can be wrapped in a cloth bag. When the aromatherapy diffuser is in solid form, it can have a gripping part to facilitate daily maintenance by the user.

[0056] The structure of the adjusting plate 20 is not limited, as long as it can adjust the ventilation area of ​​the vent 10b. For example, at least a portion of the contact surface between the adjusting plate 20 and the box body 10 can be fan-shaped, circular, or square.

[0057] The adjustment plate 20 can move in any way, as long as it can change its position relative to the box body 10, thereby changing the area of ​​the vent hole 10b that the adjustment plate 20 can block, and thus changing the ventilation area of ​​the vent hole 10b. For example, please refer to... Figure 1 The adjusting plate 20 can rotate relative to the box body 10. In some other embodiments, not shown, the adjusting plate 20 can move relative to the box body 10, for example, along a straight line.

[0058] For example, the total area of ​​the vent 10b is S1, the maximum area of ​​the vent 10b that the adjusting plate 20 can block is S2, and the minimum area of ​​the vent 10b that the adjusting plate 20 can block is S3. In some embodiments, S2 equals S1, and S3 is 0. Thus, the area of ​​the vent 10b that the adjusting plate 20 moves relative to the box body 10 to is S3, which can completely avoid the vent 10b, allowing the vent 10b to be fully exposed to diffuse the scent onto the clothes; the adjusting plate 20 can also block part of the vent 10b and avoid another part of the vent 10b, and can adjust the position and / or area of ​​the blocked vent 10b; it can also completely block the vent 10b, reducing the wear and tear of the fragrance unit when the clothes processing equipment is not performing a drying operation.

[0059] The number of vent holes 10b is unlimited and can be adapted to one, two, or more as needed. For example, please refer to [link to example]. Figure 2 The vent holes 10b can be multiple through holes spaced apart, for example, twelve. When the vent holes 10b are multiple through holes spaced apart, the area of ​​each vent hole 10b can be the same or different. For example, there are multiple vent holes 10b of the same size, arranged in an array on the box body 10.

[0060] The shape of the vent 10b is not limited and can be adapted to be circular, square, oval, rectangular, zigzag, or wavy, etc., as needed. For example, please refer to [link to example]. Figure 2 The vent 10b is a circular through hole.

[0061] The adjustment method of the adjustment plate 20 is not limited; it can be achieved through manual or automatic adjustment. For example, the user can manually change the position of the adjustment plate 20 to adjust the ventilation area of ​​the vent 10b. Alternatively, in some embodiments not shown, the aromatherapy box 100 also includes a driving component, which is drivenly connected to the adjustment plate 20 to move the adjustment plate 20 relative to the box body 10, thereby changing the ventilation area of ​​the vent 10b without the need for manual control of the adjustment plate 20. Exemplarily, the clothing processing device includes a control center, which is controlled and connected to the driving component to automatically adjust the ventilation area of ​​the vent 10b according to the amount of clothing in the clothing processing device, so as to improve the aromatherapy effect and prevent the scent from being too strong or too weak, thus affecting the user experience.

[0062] The aromatherapy box 100 provided in this embodiment has an adjustment plate 20 movably connected to the box body 10. By changing the position of the adjustment plate 20 relative to the box body 10, the ventilation area of ​​the vent 10b can be adjusted, thereby regulating the intensity of the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy component. By setting the adjustment plate 20 movably connected to the outside of the box body 10, the structural design of the aromatherapy box 100 is simplified.

[0063] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-3 The box body 10 includes a box body 11 and a baffle 12. The box body 11 has a receiving cavity 10a and a vent 10b communicating with the receiving cavity 10a; the baffle 12 is connected to the box body 11 to surround at least a portion of the periphery of the adjusting plate 20. By providing the baffle 12, the portion surrounding the periphery of the adjusting plate 20, for example, surrounding the side facing the clothes, reduces the adverse effects of clothes touching the adjusting plate 20 during the handling or drying of clothes, thereby altering the ventilation area. Exemplarily, the baffle 12 and at least a portion of the box body 11 can be configured to form a recessed platform, with the adjusting plate 20 located within the recessed platform, to reduce the impact of clothes on the adjusting plate 20.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-3 The box body 11 includes a frame 111 and a first cover 112. The frame 111 has an open receiving cavity 10a at the top; the first cover 112 is connected to the open end of the frame 111, and the first cover 112 has a clearance space 112a. A baffle 12 is connected to the first cover 112 and surrounds the clearance space 112a. An adjusting plate 20 is located within the clearance space 112a.

[0065] The first cover 112 can be integrally formed with the frame 111. For example, the lower end of the frame 111 can be an open structure, or a detachable second cover can be installed. The first cover 112 can also be detachably placed on the frame 111. For example, when the lower end of the frame 111 is a closed structure, the aromatherapy component can be taken out and placed into the receiving cavity 10a by removing and installing the first cover 112.

[0066] For example, the box body 11 includes a vent plate 113, which is connected to the baffle 12 and located in the clearance space 112a. The vent plate 113 has vent holes 10b, and the adjustment plate 20 is movably connected to the vent plate 113.

[0067] Thus, by placing the adjustment plate 20 at the upper end of the box body 11, the ventilation plate 113, the baffle 12, and the clearance space 112a can prevent the user from operating the adjustment plate 20. The ventilation plate 113 can form ventilation holes 10b and also support the adjustment plate 20 to facilitate the operation of the adjustment plate 20.

[0068] For example, the aromatherapy box 100 is disposed on the first mounting cavity of the main body of the clothing processing equipment, and the structure of the frame 111 is adapted to the first mounting cavity of the main body of the equipment.

[0069] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The first cover 112 has an arc-shaped plate 1121, and the portion of the arc-shaped plate 1121 that connects to the baffle 12 smoothly transitions to the baffle 12. The arc-shaped plate 1121 is connected to a portion of the periphery of the ventilated plate 113, and the baffle 12 is connected to another portion of the periphery of the ventilated plate 113. The arc surfaces of the arc-shaped plate 1121 and the baffle 12 provide clearance for the rotational adjustment of the adjusting plate 20.

[0070] For example, the baffle 12, the arc plate 1121 and the vent plate 113 can be arranged to form a sunken platform, with the vent plate 113 located inside the sunken platform.

[0071] The outer surface structure of the first cover 112 is not limited in form. To improve the overall appearance, it can be configured to adapt to the surrounding structure. For example, when the aromatherapy box 100 is placed on the main body of the clothing processing device, the peripheral portion of the main body of the device located on the aromatherapy box 100 is curved. In order to adapt to the structure of the main body of the device, in some embodiments, the outer surface of the first cover 112 is curved.

[0072] For example, the outer surface of the first cover 112 and the outer surface of the device body are flush with the outer surface of the connection portion of the first cover 112 to achieve a smooth transition.

[0073] The structure of the ventilated plate 113 is not limited and can be square or circular. In some embodiments, the side of the ventilated plate 113 facing the adjusting plate 20 is circular. Thus, when the adjusting plate 20 is rotatably mounted on the box body 10, the projection formed by the adjusting plate 20 during its rotation stroke lies on the ventilated plate 113, and the ventilated plate 113 can adapt to the movement stroke of the adjusting plate 20 during rotation. For example, to improve space utilization, the outer periphery of the projection formed by the adjusting plate 20 during its rotation stroke coincides with the outer periphery of the ventilated plate 113.

[0074] For example, please refer to Figure 3 The side of the breathable plate 113 that is away from the adjustment plate 20 and abuts against the frame 111 is a straight edge.

[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The box body 10 has a rotating hole 10c. The adjusting plate 20 includes a plate body 21 and a rotating shaft 22. The rotating shaft 22 is connected to the plate body 21 and is mounted in the rotating hole 10c so that the plate body 21 can rotate along the rotating shaft 22. It can switch between blocking at least part of the vent hole 10b and opening at least part of the vent hole 10b to adjust the ventilation area of ​​the vent hole 10b. In this way, the adjusting plate 20 is rotatably mounted on the box body 10 through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 22 and the rotating hole 10c.

[0076] For example, the box body 10 includes a vent plate 113, and vent holes 10b are formed on the vent plate 113. The surface of the plate 21 facing the vent plate 113 can be attached to the surface of the vent plate 113 facing the plate 21 so that the plate 21 can block the vent holes 10b.

[0077] For example, the side of the ventilated plate 113 facing the adjusting plate 20 is circular, the rotating hole 10c is located at the center of the ventilated plate 113, and the plate body 21 is at least partially fan-shaped so that when the plate body 21 rotates, it blocks the ventilated hole 10b to adjust the ventilation area. In another embodiment not shown, the plate body is circular and has a through hole. The through hole and the ventilated hole can be completely offset to close the ventilated hole; the through hole and the ventilated hole can be partially offset to adjust the ventilation area of ​​the ventilated hole; the through hole and the ventilated hole can be completely aligned to maximize the ventilation area of ​​the ventilated hole.

[0078] For example, the rotating hole 10c is located at the center of the vent plate 113, and a plurality of vent holes 10b are spaced apart from the rotating hole 10c in a direction away from the rotating baffle plate 12. In this way, the impact of lint on the vent holes 10b is reduced.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2The adjustment plate 20 also includes a handle 23 connected to the plate body 21 and located on the side of the plate body 21 away from the rotating shaft 22. This allows the user to apply force to rotate the adjustment plate 20.

[0080] For example, the handle 23 can be strip-shaped and positioned above the plate 21 to facilitate the user's rotation or removal of the adjustment plate 20. The handle 23 can also be ring-shaped or have small protrusions.

[0081] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3-4 The rotating shaft 22 includes a shaft post 221 and an annular first buckle 222. The first buckle 222 is arranged around the shaft post 221. The shaft post 221 has a slot 222a that passes through the shaft post 221 and the first buckle 222 respectively along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 22. The slot 222a can provide deformation space for the deformation of the shaft post 221 so that the first buckle 222 can pass through the rotating hole 10c.

[0082] The adjustment plate 20 is attached and detached from the box body 10 by engaging with the first snap-fit ​​222 and the rotating hole 10c. The groove 222a provides deformation space for the first snap-fit ​​222, which reduces assembly difficulty and the possibility of damaging the first snap-fit ​​222 during disassembly and assembly.

[0083] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The box body 10 includes a box body 11 and a second cover 13. The box body 11 has a receiving cavity 10a open at the lower end and a vent 10b communicating with the receiving cavity 10a; the second cover 13 is placed on the open end of the box body 11 so that the receiving cavity 10a is closed at the open end side of the box body 11. In this way, the aroma of the fragrance diffuser is allowed to escape through the vent 10b as much as possible, reducing the possibility of the aroma of the fragrance diffuser leaking from the lower end of the box body 11 and reducing the wear and tear of the fragrance diffuser.

[0084] For example, the box body 11 and the second cover body 13 are detachably connected to replace or add aromatherapy components.

[0085] In other embodiments not shown, the lower end of the box body 11 is open, the box body 10 is mounted on the main body of the garment processing equipment, and the open end of the box body 11 can abut against the main body of the equipment, thus closing the open end side of the box body 11.

[0086] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-3The box body 11 includes a frame 111, which has an open receiving cavity 10a and a vent 10b communicating with the receiving cavity 10a. The inner wall of the frame 111 has a snap 111a. The second cover 13 includes a cover plate 131 and a second buckle 133. The second buckle 133 is disposed on the cover plate 131, which covers the open end of the frame 111. The second buckle 133 is engaged with the snap 111a and located within the receiving cavity 10a. Exemplarily, the frame 111 includes a vent plate 113, and the vent 10b is formed on the vent plate 113.

[0087] Thus, the second buckle 133 is engaged with the slot 111a to achieve a fixed connection between the box body 11 and the second cover body 13.

[0088] For example, the box body 11 further includes a first flange 114 connected to the open end of the frame body 111; the second cover 13 includes a second flange 132 disposed on the cover plate 131, the cover plate 131 covering the open end of the frame body 111, and the second flange 132 surrounding the outside of the first flange 114.

[0089] By surrounding the first flange 114 with the second flange 132, the sealing effect can be improved, reducing the possibility of odor leakage from the fragrance component.

[0090] For example, the latch 111a is a blind hole, provided on the inner wall of the frame 111. For instance, the depth of the latch 111a extending from the inner wall to the outer wall of the frame 111 is half the thickness of the frame 111, in order to reduce the impact on the structural strength of the frame 111 and prevent the odor of the fragrance component from leaking out from the latch 111a. Here, the inner wall refers to the side wall of the frame 111 facing the receiving cavity, and the outer wall refers to the side wall of the frame 111 facing outward.

[0091] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The second buckle 133 includes a support part 1331, a snap-fit ​​part 1332, and a reinforcing part 1333. The snap-fit ​​part 1332 and the reinforcing part 1333 are disposed on both sides of the support part 1331. The snap-fit ​​part is used to snap into the snap-fit ​​opening 111a. The reinforcing part 1333 is connected to the cover plate 131 and the support part 1331 respectively to improve the structural strength.

[0092] For example, the box body 11, the second cover 13 and the adjustment plate 20 are all integrally molded parts, so as to facilitate processing and manufacturing, and to facilitate parts management and assembly.

[0093] For example, the box body 11 is a soft plastic part, and the second cover 13 is a soft plastic part, so as to facilitate the removal of the second cover 13 from the box body 11 and reduce the possibility of damaging the second cover 13 when removing it.

[0094] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 The box body 11 also includes a protrusion 115, which is connected to the frame 111 and the first flange 114 respectively, and is located on the outside of the first flange 114; the second flange 132 has a stop 132a, and when the second cover plate 131 is placed on the open end of the frame 111, the protrusion 115 is inserted into the stop 132a.

[0095] By setting the protrusion 115 to cooperate with the stop 132a, it is easier for users to align and reduce the difficulty of assembly. At the same time, it can reduce the impact on the structural strength caused by the excessively small vertical dimension of the part of the frame 111 located between the protrusion 115 and the stop 111a.

[0096] For example, please refer to Figure 5 The protrusion 115 is located below the bayonet 111a, which is a blind hole. This reduces the possibility of damage to the part of the frame 111 located between the protrusion 115 and the bayonet 111a when the second cover 13 is removed.

[0097] This application also provides a clothing treatment device, including a device body and an aromatherapy box 100 as described in any of the embodiments of this application, which is disposed on the device body.

[0098] The aromatherapy box 100 can be installed at any location on the main body of the device as needed. The main body includes a drying drum with an open end, a front support disposed at the open end of the drying drum, and a door cover mounted on the front support. The open end of the drying drum is used for loading and unloading clothes, and the door cover is used to close the open end of the drying drum. For example, the aromatherapy box can be disposed on the door cover or the front support. For example, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 6 The main body of the device includes a front support 200, and the aromatherapy box 100 is detachably mounted on the front support 200.

[0099] For example, the front support 200 has a first mounting cavity 200a, and the aromatherapy box 100 is mounted in the first mounting cavity 200a. The first mounting cavity 200a is located on the annular surface 201 of the front support 200 or on the support surface 202 outside the door ring.

[0100] For example, please refer to Figures 6-7 The main body of the device includes a front support 200 and a filter assembly 300. The front support 200 has a first mounting cavity 200a and a second mounting cavity 200b. The aromatherapy box 100 is mounted in the first mounting cavity 200a, and the filter assembly 300 is mounted in the second mounting cavity 200b. The filter assembly 300 is located in the middle of the front support 200. The first mounting cavity 200a is located on at least one side of the second mounting cavity 200b. For example, please refer to... Figure 6The first mounting cavity 200a is located on one side of the second mounting cavity 200b. In some other embodiments (not shown), the two first mounting cavities 200a are disposed on both sides of the second mounting cavity 200b.

[0101] Thus, the airflow speed is higher in the middle of the drying chamber of the clothing processing equipment. Since the filter component 300 is located in the middle of the front support 200, the airflow is more concentrated at the filter component 300. The aromatherapy box 100 is located to the side of the filter component 300, not on the main path of the airflow, which can reduce the damage of the airflow to the aromatherapy component.

[0102] For example, please refer to Figure 6 The front support 200 also includes a baffle 203, which is located on the inner side of the annular surface 201 to intercept the airflow that blows directly toward the aromatherapy box 100 and reduce the possibility of hair entering the aromatherapy box 100 and blocking the vent 10b.

[0103] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
