[0020] In daily life, it is very common that clothes are contaminated by hairs, no matter it is dust and hairs absorbed when people wear clothes to go out, or a large amount of hairs caused by pets in the home, which brings a lot of troubles to the cleaning of clothes. When these clothes contaminated by hairs are put into a clothes processing device (such as a clothes dryer, etc.) for processing, the existing clothes processing device is difficult to effectively process the hairs. The hairs on the clothes will continue to adhere to the surface of the clothes during the operation of the device, affecting the wearing experience after the clothes are dried, and may also drift to every corner inside the device, causing pollution of the device, and long-term accumulation may even affect the normal operation and service life of the device.

[0021] Based on the above considerations, the application provides a lifting rib assembly and a clothes processing device, which can effectively remove hairs on clothes during the operation of the clothes processing device, improve the cleaning effect and the durability of the device.

[0022] The embodiments of the application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the application.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 are structural schematic diagrams of the lifting rib assembly 100 of two embodiments of the application. It should be noted that Figure 1 the scraping teeth 1211 are not shown in Figure 2 the inclination direction of the scraping teeth 1211 in The lifting rib assembly 100 provided by the embodiments of the application comprises a seat body 110, a cleaning piece 120 and a cleaning felt 121.

[0024] When the clothes processing device 10 is running, the motor drives the drum 200 to rotate, and the lifting rib assembly 100 installed on the inner wall of the drum 200 rotates with it. The seat body 110 of the lifting rib assembly 100 plays a role in driving the clothes by virtue of its firm connection with the drum 200 during rotation. When the drum 200 rotates, the seat body 110 of the lifting rib assembly 100 contacts the clothes, and by virtue of its structure and friction, it drives the clothes to rise along the wall of the drum 200. As the clothes continue to rise, they fall freely under the action of gravity after reaching a certain height, forming a tumbling effect.

[0025] The seat body 110 is designed to be in the shape of the drum 200 inside the clothes treatment device 10, for example, in a long strip shape, extending along the axial direction of the drum 200, and the length thereof is close to the axial length of the drum 200, and the width thereof is determined according to the size of the drum 200 and actual needs. The seat body 110 can be provided with mounting holes, which are fixedly connected with the inner wall of the drum 200 by means of bolts or buckles, to ensure firm installation and prevent loosening during operation of the device. The bottom surface of the seat body 110 can be flat or can be designed to have a certain curvature to better fit the inner wall of the drum 200 and enhance the structural strength thereof, so as not to be easily broken during lifting of the clothes.

[0026] The cleaning piece 120 is mounted on the seat body 110.

[0027] In an example, the cleaning piece 120 can be fixedly mounted on the seat body 110, which can ensure the stability thereof during operation of the clothes treatment device 10. During continuous rotation of the drum 200, the clothes will continuously rub against and collide with the cleaning piece 120, and the fixedly connected cleaning piece 120 can always maintain accurate position and angle. This enables the scraping teeth 1211 on the cleaning felt 121 to stably act on the surface of the clothes, and each time the clothes can be contacted at the same force and angle, thereby achieving stable and efficient scraping effect. Moreover, such stability helps to prolong the service life of the cleaning piece 120, reduce wear and damage caused by loosening and displacement, and ensure the reliability of the overall performance of the lifting rib assembly 100.

[0028] In another example, the cleaning piece 120 can be movably mounted on the seat body 110, and the movable connection gives the cleaning piece 120 certain flexibility. When the drum 200 is in operation, the movement of the clothes in the drum 200 is complex and variable, and local accumulation and uneven distribution of the clothes can occur. The movably connected cleaning piece 120 can be self-adaptively adjusted according to the real-time state of the clothes. For example, when the clothes are concentrated in a certain area, the cleaning piece 120 can move to the area to increase the contact area with the clothes in this area, so as to more comprehensively scrape the hair; when the device is vibrated, the movable connection can buffer the external force acting on the cleaning piece 120, avoid damage of the cleaning piece 120 caused by excessive vibration, and also reduce the impact force on the seat body 110, thereby protecting the entire lifting rib assembly 100 and improving the adaptability and reliability of the assembly in a complex working environment.

[0029] In yet another example, the cleaning piece 120 can be detachably mounted on the seat body 110, which can provide great convenience for the user. During the clothes processing, the cleaning felt 121 will continuously absorb the hair, and as the number of uses increases, the excessive accumulation of hair will affect the scraping effect. The detachable connection enables the user to easily remove the cleaning piece 120 from the seat body 110, perform thorough cleaning, or directly replace a new cleaning piece 120. This not only restores the scraping performance of the lifting rib assembly 100 in a timely manner, but also enables the user to flexibly select cleaning pieces 120 of different materials and scraping teeth 1211 designs according to actual use conditions to meet different clothes material and hair cleaning needs, effectively prolonging the overall service life of the lifting rib assembly 100 and improving the user's experience.

[0030] The surface of the cleaning piece 120 connected to the seat body 110 is provided with the cleaning felt 121, and the cleaning felt 121 has scraping teeth 1211.

[0031] The cleaning piece 120 and the cleaning felt 121 are also arranged in a long strip shape and extend along the axial direction of the roller 200, so that the cleaning felt 121 can be more fully in contact with the clothes. The surface of the cleaning piece 120 connected to the seat body 110 is provided with the cleaning felt 121, which can completely cover the surface of the cleaning piece 120 connected to the seat body 110 to increase the coverage area of the cleaning felt 121, so that any part of the cleaning piece 120 in contact with the clothes can play a scraping role. The cleaning felt 121 can also partially cover the surface of the cleaning piece 120 connected to the seat body 110. Specifically, the cleaning felt 121 can be arranged at the position of the cleaning piece 120 with the highest contact frequency with the clothes. For example, the cleaning felt 121 can be arranged on the surface of the cleaning piece 120 away from the inner wall of the roller 200.

[0032] The cleaning felt 121 can be fixed on the cleaning piece 120 by hot pressing or sewing. For the hot pressing method, the temperature and pressure can be controlled to firmly attach the felt to the surface of the cleaning piece 120. For the sewing method, high-strength sewing thread can be selected, and fine stitches can be used to ensure that the felt does not fall off during use.

[0033] The material of the cleaning felt 121 is not limited, and polyester fiber felt can be used, or wool felt can be selected. Taking wool felt as an example, wool felt has good adsorption and wear resistance, and its fiber structure can effectively absorb hair and is not easy to fall off or deform during long-term use, ensuring the shape and function stability of the scraping teeth 1211.

[0034] The shape of the scraping teeth 1211 is not limited and can be designed as a cylinder, a triangle, etc. The tooth height and tooth spacing of the scraping teeth 1211 are not limited to ensure that the scraping effect is guaranteed and the clothes are not excessively damaged.

[0035] In actual implementation, when the drum 200 rotates, the seat body 110 of the lifting rib assembly 100 contacts the clothes, and by virtue of its own structure and friction, drives the clothes to ascend along the wall of the drum 200. As the clothes continuously ascend, after reaching a certain height, the clothes freely fall under the action of gravity, forming a tumbling effect. During the tumbling of the clothes, the scraping teeth 1211 on the cleaning felt 121 contact the surface of the clothes, and as there is relative motion between the clothes and the cleaning felt 121, the scraping teeth 1211 can effectively scrape the hair on the clothes and adsorb the hair on the cleaning felt 121.

[0036] According to the lifting rib assembly 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application, by arranging the cleaning felt 121 on the surface of the cleaning member 120 other than the surface connected with the seat body 110, the assembly can contact the clothes in all directions when the clothes processing equipment 10 is running, greatly increasing the contact area with the hair on the clothes and improving the hair cleaning efficiency. The scraping teeth 1211 arranged on the cleaning felt 121 can more accurately grasp the hair on the surface of the clothes, can penetrate into the texture of the clothes, effectively remove stubbornly adhered hair, improve the cleaning degree of the clothes, and improve the durability of the equipment.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present application, the scraping teeth 1211 and the surface of the cleaning member 120 can be arranged at an angle, and the inclination direction of the scraping teeth 1211 can be opposite to the movement direction of the clothes.

[0038] Based on the principle of efficiently scraping hair. When the clothes move in the rotating process of the drum 200, the scraping teeth 1211 inclined in the opposite direction of the movement direction can better "meet" the hair, increase the contact opportunity and friction force between the scraping teeth 1211 and the hair, and thus more effectively scrape the hair from the surface of the clothes and adsorb the hair on the cleaning felt 121.

[0039] In the laundry treating apparatus 10, the direction of the laundry movement is generally generated by the rotation of the drum 200. Generally, when the drum 200 rotates clockwise, the laundry moves clockwise upward along the inner wall of the drum 200, and then falls down under the action of gravity; when the drum 200 rotates counterclockwise, the direction of the laundry movement is opposite. Therefore, before the installation of the lifting rib assembly 100, the rotation direction of the drum 200 needs to be determined to determine the direction of the laundry movement. According to the determined direction of the laundry movement, the lifting rib assembly 100 is installed on the inner wall of the drum 200 to ensure that the inclination direction of the scraping bristles 1211 is opposite to the direction of the laundry movement. During the installation process, positioning marks or molds can be used to ensure that the installation position of the lifting rib assembly 100 is accurate. For example, positioning holes corresponding to specific positions of the inner wall of the drum 200 can be provided on the seat body 110, and the seat body 110 is fixed at the correct position by bolts or buckles to ensure that the direction of the scraping bristles 1211 meets the design requirements.

[0040] The angle between the scraping bristles 1211 and the surface of the cleaning member 120 is not limited in size and can be set according to the actual situation, and the angles between different scraping bristles 1211 on the same cleaning felt 121 and the surface of the cleaning member 120 can be the same or different.

[0041] For example, the angle between the scraping bristles 1211 and the surface of the cleaning member 120 can be between 30° and 60°, such as 30°, 45°, 60°, etc.

[0042] When the angle is 30°, the scraping bristles 1211 relatively gently contact the laundry. This setting is suitable for processing some soft-textured and less tightly attached hair clothes, such as silk and gauze clothes. The relatively gentle angle can reduce the damage to the clothes, and at the same time, the hair can be gently scraped off.

[0043] When the angle is 60°, the scraping bristles 1211 are relatively upright. This setting is suitable for processing hard-textured and tightly attached hair clothes, such as jeans and thick-woven sweaters. The relatively upright angle can provide more scraping force and more effectively remove stubbornly attached hair.

[0044] In actual execution, after the laundry treating apparatus 10 is started, the drum 200 starts to rotate to drive the laundry to move in the drum 200. The lifting rib assembly 100 rotates with the drum 200, and the scraping bristles 1211 on the cleaning member 120 contact the surface of the laundry. Since the inclination direction of the scraping bristles 1211 is opposite to the direction of the laundry movement, when the laundry passes through the scraping bristles 1211, the scraping bristles 1211 will scrape the hair from the root like a small comb, and the hair will be absorbed on the cleaning felt 121. With the continuous rotation of the drum 200, the laundry continuously contacts the scraping bristles 1211, and the hair is continuously scraped off and collected.

[0045] According to the design of the scraping teeth 1211 in the embodiment of the present application, the scraping teeth 1211 can make full use of the force of the clothes movement, increase the contact area and friction with the hair, thereby significantly improving the scraping efficiency. Compared with the case where the scraping teeth 1211 are arranged vertically or in the same direction as the direction of the clothes movement, the hair scraping rate is greatly improved, the amount of residual hair on the clothes treated by using the lifting rib assembly 100 is significantly reduced, and the cleanliness and wearing comfort of the clothes are improved. Moreover, the reasonable angle and inclined direction arrangement minimizes the damage to the clothes in the process of scraping the hair by the scraping teeth 1211. The scraping teeth 1211 can precisely act on the hair without excessive pulling or friction on the clothes, thereby prolonging the service life of the clothes.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present application, the seat body 110 can include a base 111 and a shell 112, the shell 112 being mounted on one side of the base 111, and the shell 112 can be provided with a mounting cavity, and the shell 112 can be provided with an opening 1121 for the scraping teeth 1211 to extend out.

[0047] The base 111 is used to connect with the inner wall of the drum 200, and plays a role in stabilizing the entire seat body 110, so that it can be firmly mounted on the inner wall of the drum 200. The shell 112 is mounted on the side of the base 111 away from the inner wall of the drum 200, and by providing a mounting cavity in the shell 112, a relatively independent space is provided for the cleaning piece 120, which avoids interference of external factors on the cleaning piece 120 during operation, and ensures the normal operation of the lifting rib assembly 100.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning piece 120 can include two cleaning pieces 120, and the inclined directions of the scraping teeth 1211 of the two cleaning pieces 120 are opposite.

[0049] The two cleaning pieces 120 can be symmetrically distributed along the width direction of the seat body 110, and by arranging the inclined directions of the scraping teeth 1211 of the two cleaning pieces 120 to be opposite, when the drum 200 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, one cleaning piece 120 is always in the best state for scraping.

[0050] Taking the case where the two cleaning pieces 120 are distributed along the left-right direction as an example, the scraping teeth 1211 of the cleaning piece 120 on the left side are inclined to the left, and the scraping teeth 1211 of the cleaning piece 120 on the right side are inclined to the right. When the drum 200 rotates clockwise, the scraping teeth 1211 of the cleaning piece 120 on the left side are inclined to the left, facing the direction of the clothes movement, and maximizing the scraping effect; the scraping teeth 1211 of the other cleaning piece 120 are inclined to the right, and almost do not come into effective contact with the clothes for scraping. When the drum 200 rotates counterclockwise, the working states of the scraping teeth 1211 of the two cleaning pieces 120 are exchanged.

[0051] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It should be noted that Figure 3 The inclination direction of the scraping teeth 1211 in the first cleaning member 120a is only schematic. According to some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning member 120 includes a first cleaning member 120a, a second cleaning member 120b and a third cleaning member 120c adjacent to each other, and the inclination direction of the scraping teeth 1211 of at least two of the first cleaning member 120a, the second cleaning member 120b and the third cleaning member 120c is different.

[0052] The first cleaning member 120a, the second cleaning member 120b and the third cleaning member 120c are adjacent to each other, so that the first cleaning member 120a, the second cleaning member 120b and the third cleaning member 120c are distributed in a triangular shape.

[0053] The inclination direction of the scraping teeth 1211 of at least two of the first cleaning member 120a, the second cleaning member 120b and the third cleaning member 120c is different, that is, the scraping teeth 1211 of the at least two cleaning members 120 are directed to different directions with respect to the seat body 110, so that at least one cleaning member 120 is always in the best state of scraping during the forward rotation or reverse rotation of the drum 200. For example, the scraping teeth 1211 of the three cleaning members 120 can be directed to different directions respectively; or the directions of two of the cleaning members 120 are the same, and the scraping teeth 1211 of the other cleaning member 120 are directed to a direction different from those of the first two cleaning members 120.

[0054] In this case, the inclination angle of the scraping teeth 1211 on different cleaning members 120 with respect to the surface of the cleaning member 120 can be the same, and the inclination direction of the scraping teeth 1211 on different cleaning members 120 can be changed by changing the installation angle of the cleaning member 120. The inclination angle of the scraping teeth 1211 on different cleaning members 120 can be different, so that the inclination direction of the scraping teeth 1211 on different cleaning members 120 is different, so that the three cleaning members 120 can play different degrees of cleaning during work, and the missed hair can be captured more fully, and the overall cleaning effect can be improved.

[0055] In an example, the first cleaning member 120a and the second cleaning member 120b can be arranged side by side on one side of the third cleaning member 120c close to the base 111, and this arrangement can enable the three cleaning members 120 to fully contact the clothes during the rotation of the drum 200. In this case, the inclination direction of the scraping teeth 1211 on the first cleaning member 120a and the second cleaning member 120b is different, and the inclination direction of the scraping teeth 1211 on the third cleaning member 120c is the same as that of one of the first cleaning member 120a and the second cleaning member 120b.

[0056] Referring to Figure 4 ,Figure 4 The seat body 110 is hidden. According to some embodiments of the present application, the lifting rib assembly 100 can further include a detachment accessory 130 arranged on one side of the cleaning piece 120, and the detachment accessory 130 can be provided with a detachment hair strip 131 on the side facing the cleaning piece 120; the detachment accessory 130 and the cleaning piece 120 can move relatively, so that the detachment hair strip 131 can detach and clean the cleaning felt 121. The detachment hair strip can be made of various fiber materials, such as wool and cotton fiber in natural fiber, and polypropylene and nylon in chemical fiber.

[0057] The detachment accessory 130 is installed on one side of the cleaning piece 120 and is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the installation cavity through buckling or bolts, to ensure firm installation and accurate position. Specifically, the shell 112 is provided with support plates 1122 at both ends in the axial direction of the roller 200, the detachment accessory 130 can extend in the axial direction of the roller 200, and the two ends of the detachment accessory 130 are fixedly connected with the two support plates 1122 respectively. The side of the detachment accessory 130 facing the cleaning piece 120 can be designed with a groove matching the shape of the cleaning felt 121, and the detachment hair strip 131 is tightly embedded in the groove, so that the detachment hair strip 131 can fully adhere to the cleaning felt 121 when they contact, improving the detachment efficiency.

[0058] The detachment hair strip 131 can be made of high-density and high-elasticity polyester fiber felt. Such felt not only has good adsorption performance and can effectively adsorb hair and sundries on the cleaning felt 121, but also has high elasticity, which can better adhere to the surface of the cleaning felt 121 when it contacts the cleaning felt 121, improving the detachment effect and also having good wear resistance, prolonging the service life of the detachment hair strip 131.

[0059] The cleaning piece 120 and the detachment accessory 130 can move relatively. When the cleaning felt 121 of the cleaning piece 120 and the detachment hair strip 131 of the detachment accessory 130 are opposite, the relative movement of the cleaning piece 120 and the detachment accessory 130 is converted into the relative movement of the cleaning felt 121 and the detachment hair strip 131, and the detachment hair strip 131 cleans the cleaning felt 121 by scraping and washing, so that the hair attached to the cleaning felt 121 is detached, ensuring the cleaning of the cleaning felt 121 itself and thus ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning felt 121 on clothes.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning piece 120 and the detachment accessory 130 can be installed in the installation cavity and can rotate relatively, and when the cleaning felt 121 and the detachment hair strip 131 are rotated to the opposite state, the detachment hair strip can detach and clean the cleaning felt 121.

[0061] It can be understood that when the clothes treatment apparatus 10 is normally operated, the cleaning felt 121 on the cleaning member 120 needs to be exposed in the drum 200 to contact and clean the laundry in the drum 200, and at this time, the cleaning felt 121 and the detachment hair 131 are in a dislocation state. After the laundry is cleaned, the cleaning felt 121 needs to be cleaned, and the cleaning felt 121 needs to be opposite to the detachment hair 131 to achieve cleaning.

[0062] By setting the cleaning member 120 and the detachment member 130 to be relatively rotatable, specifically, the cleaning member 120 and the detachment member 130 can be relatively rotated around a rotation axis parallel to the axis of the drum 200, thereby reducing the activity range of the relative rotation of the cleaning member and the detachment member 130, and the relative movement of the cleaning member 120 and the detachment member 130 in a small range can achieve cleaning.

[0063] Among them, the cleaning member 120 and the detachment member 130 can be driven to rotate simultaneously, or the cleaning member 120 or the detachment member 130 can be driven to rotate alone, and both can achieve the rotation of the cleaning felt 121 and the detachment hair 131 to the opposite state.

[0064] In some examples, the cleaning member 120 can be rotatably installed in the housing 112 through a separate rotation shaft, specifically, both ends of the cleaning member 120 are rotatably installed on two support plates 1122. Among them, the rotation shaft of the cleaning member 120 and the support plate 1122 can be provided with a damping structure, or the cleaning member 120 and the housing 112 are provided with a clamping structure, so that during the operation of the clothes treatment apparatus 10, the cleaning member 120 will not be randomly rotated due to the vibration of the drum 200 or the touch of the laundry, and the stability of the cleaning felt 121 on the cleaning member 120 is guaranteed, thereby guaranteeing the scraping effect.

[0065] When the cleaning felt 121 needs to be cleaned, the cleaning member 120 can be manually rotated to overcome the damping or clamping resistance, and when the cleaning member 120 is rotated, the cleaning felt 121 is rotated to a position close to the detachment hair 130 in the seat body 110. Because the detachment hair 131 is in close contact with the cleaning felt 121, in the process of rotating the cleaning member 120, the detachment hair 131 will detach the hair and impurities adsorbed on the cleaning felt 121 by its own adsorption force and friction force. The high elasticity of the detachment hair 131 enables it to adaptively adjust according to the surface shape of the cleaning felt 121 when it contacts the cleaning felt 121, ensuring comprehensive and effective cleaning of the cleaning felt 121.

[0066] In actual implementation, after the clothes treatment device 10 completes a clothes treatment program, if the cleaning felt 121 needs to be cleaned, the cleaning member 120 can be self-cleaned by manually rotating the cleaning member 120 without disassembly. The user only needs to open the maintenance opening (if any) of the clothes treatment device 10 or observe the position of the cleaning member 120 through the transparent shell 112, and then manually rotate the cleaning member 120 by using a specially equipped rotating tool (such as a handle with a clamping groove that can be clamped with the rotating shaft of the cleaning member 120) to overcome the damping and clamping resistance. During the rotation, the detached hair 131 continuously performs detached cleaning on the cleaning felt 121. The user can rotate the cleaning member 120 several times according to the actual situation until the hair and debris on the cleaning felt 121 are cleaned, thereby prolonging the maintenance period of the cleaning member 120 and improving the convenience of use for the user.

[0067] In other examples, the detached member 130 can be arranged to rotate around the cleaning member 120 and be mounted on the shell 112 through a rotating support. When the cleaning felt 121 needs to be cleaned, the rotating support is driven to rotate, and the detached member 130 is driven to rotate out of the mounting cavity to perform detached cleaning on the cleaning felt 121.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning felt 121 can be a circular arc shape with the rotating axis of the relative rotation between the cleaning member 120 and the detached member 130 as the axis, and the detached hair 131 can be a circular arc shape coaxial with the cleaning felt 121.

[0069] Designing the cleaning felt 121 as a circular arc shape with the rotating axis of the relative rotation between the cleaning member 120 and the detached member 130 as the axis can reduce damage to clothes to some extent and provide a suitable basis for subsequent self-cleaning processes. During self-cleaning, the circular arc-shaped cleaning felt 121 can be more fully in contact with the detached hair 131 during rotation. Compared with a planar cleaning felt 121, this design can increase the contact area and ensure that the hair and debris on each part of the cleaning felt 121 can be effectively cleaned during the detachment process.

[0070] The detached hair 131 is also designed as a circular arc shape coaxial with the cleaning felt 121. When the cleaning member 120 and the detached member 130 rotate relative to each other to drive the cleaning felt 121 to approach the detached hair 131, the coaxial characteristic of the two ensures that the detached hair 131 closely fits the cleaning felt 121 on the entire contact surface. Regardless of the position of the cleaning felt 121, the fixed detached hair 131 can perform detached operation on the cleaning felt 121 in the best state by virtue of its circular arc design, effectively avoiding detached dead angles caused by shape mismatch, and greatly improving the detachment efficiency.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 5According to some embodiments of the present application, a driving motor 140 can be mounted on the seat body 110, and the output end of the driving motor 140 is coupled to the cleaning member 120 or the detachment member 130 to drive the relative rotation of the cleaning member 120 and the detachment member 130.

[0072] The driving motor 140 is mounted on one side of the seat body 110. In order to ensure the structural stability of the seat body 110 and the rationality of the overall layout, the driving motor 140 can be mounted close to the rotating shaft of the cleaning member 120 or the detachment member 130. During installation, the motor can be fixed on the seat body 110 by a specially designed motor support. The motor support is made of high-strength aluminum alloy material and is precisely machined to ensure that the output shaft of the motor can be accurately aligned with the rotating shaft of the cleaning member 120 or the detachment member 130 after installation. At the same time, the motor support also plays a role in heat dissipation and shock absorption, prolonging the service life of the motor.

[0073] Taking the coupling of the output end of the driving motor 140 to the cleaning member 120 as an example, the coupling is described in detail.

[0074] The output end of the driving motor 140 can be directly coupled to the rotating shaft of the cleaning member 120 through a shaft coupling, or can be coupled to the rotating shaft of the cleaning member 120 through a gear or a belt drive.

[0075] When the clothes treatment apparatus 10 enters the self-cleaning program, the control system sends a start signal to the driving motor 140, and the driving motor 140 is powered on and starts to operate. The torque output by the motor is transmitted to the rotating shaft of the cleaning member 120 through the shaft coupling, thereby driving the cleaning member 120 to rotate. During rotation, the arc-shaped cleaning felt 121 is close to the fixed detachment wool 131, and the two are coaxially connected to achieve detachment cleaning.

[0076] The application of the driving motor 140 realizes the automatic control of the relative rotation of the cleaning member 120 and the detachment member 130, greatly improving the self-cleaning efficiency compared with manually rotating the cleaning member 120 for self-cleaning. And through the stable speed control of the driving motor 140, the contact pressure and speed between the cleaning felt 121 and the detachment wool 131 are more uniform, and the stability of the detachment effect is significantly enhanced.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning member 120 can be provided in plurality, and the detachment member 130 can be provided in plurality corresponding to the plurality of cleaning members 120.

[0078] The provision of multiple cleaning members 120 increases the contact area with the clothes, making the hair cleaning on the clothes more comprehensive, and the hair cleaning rate is greatly improved compared with a single cleaning member 120.

[0079] By setting one-to-one correspondence of a plurality of detachment accessories 130, it is ensured that each cleaning piece 120 can be timely and effectively detached and cleaned. A plurality of cleaning pieces 120 simultaneously perform self-cleaning, greatly shortening the self-cleaning time and improving the self-cleaning efficiency. Moreover, since the detachment process is more accurate and efficient, the stability of the detachment effect is improved.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning piece 120 includes a first cleaning piece 120a, a second cleaning piece 120b and a third cleaning piece 120c, the first cleaning piece 120a and the second cleaning piece 120b are arranged side by side on one side of the third cleaning piece 120c close to the base 111; the detachment accessory 130 includes a first detachment accessory 130a and a second detachment accessory 130b, the first detachment accessory 130a is arranged on the side of the first cleaning piece 120a away from the third cleaning piece 120c, and the second detachment accessory 130b is arranged on the side of the second cleaning piece 120b away from the third cleaning piece 120c; wherein the driving motor 140 is coupled to the first cleaning piece 120a, the second cleaning piece 120b and the third cleaning piece 120c through the gear set 150, and the cleaning felt 121 of the first cleaning piece 120a or the second cleaning piece 120b is detached and cleaned when rotating.

[0081] The first cleaning piece 120a and the second cleaning piece 120b are arranged side by side on one side of the third cleaning piece 120c close to the base 111, which fully considers the space structure inside the seat body 110 and reasonably utilizes the limited space. The three cleaning pieces 120 are connected to the seat body 110 through independent rotating shafts, wherein the rotating shafts of the three cleaning pieces 120 are connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 140 through the gear set 150, ensuring that each cleaning piece 120 can stably rotate under the driving of the driving motor 140.

[0082] The detachment accessory 130 includes a first detachment accessory 130a and a second detachment accessory 130b, and due to space limitations, the third cleaning piece 120c does not have a separate corresponding detachment accessory 130, and the detachment work of its cleaning felt 121 will be indirectly completed through the first cleaning piece 120a or the second cleaning piece 120b adjacent thereto.

[0083] It can be understood that through the ingenious design of the gear set 150, one driving motor 140 can drive the three cleaning pieces 120 to rotate in the same direction or in different directions, and the respective rotating speeds can be the same or different, thereby achieving the purpose of effective self-cleaning.

[0084] When the laundry treating apparatus 10 enters the self-cleaning program, the driving motor 140 is started to drive the three cleaning members 120 to rotate simultaneously. First, the third cleaning member 120c rotates so that the cleaning furs 121 thereof come into contact with the cleaning furs 121 of the adjacent first cleaning member 120a or second cleaning member 120b. Since the furs of the two are adjacent and closely fitted, the hair and foreign matter on the third cleaning member 120c are transferred to the first cleaning member 120a or second cleaning member 120b in contact therewith. Then, the first cleaning member 120a and second cleaning member 120b continue to rotate so that the cleaning furs 121 thereof approach the first and second detaching members 130a and 130b, respectively. During the rotation of the cleaning members 120, the detaching bristles 131 detach the hair and foreign matter on the cleaning furs 121, thereby achieving self-cleaning of the three cleaning members 120.

[0085] Although the third cleaning member 120c does not have an independent detaching member 130, it can still achieve efficient detaching cleaning through the cooperation with the first cleaning member 120a and second cleaning member 120b. By optimizing the layout of the cleaning members 120 and detaching members 130, the problem of limited actual arrangement space is effectively solved, and the functions of the lifting rib assembly 100 are ensured to be realized in a small space.

[0086] Referring to Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present application, the lifting rib assembly 100 can further include a collection box 160, which is detachably installed in the installation cavity. The collection box 160 is arranged on the side of the cleaning member 120 close to the base 111, and the side of the collection box 160 facing the cleaning member 120 is provided with a collection opening.

[0087] The collection box 160 can be detachably installed in the installation cavity through a buckle structure. Exemplarily, a buckle groove matched with the buckle of the collection box 160 is arranged at the corresponding position of the bottom of the installation cavity. When installing, the buckle of the collection box 160 is only needed to be aligned with the buckle groove, and the installation can be completed by pressing. When disassembling, the collection box 160 can be taken out of the installation cavity by gently pressing the elastic parts on both sides of the buckle. This installation method is simple and convenient, and the user can easily disassemble and clean the collection box 160.

[0088] The collection box 160 can be provided with a finger slot 161 for the fingers to enter, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0089] During the self-cleaning process of the cleaning member 120, the detaching bristles 131 detach the hair and foreign matter on the cleaning furs 121. Since the position of the collection opening of the collection box 160 is matched with the rotation path of the cleaning member 120, the detached hair and foreign matter enter the inside of the collection box 160 under the action of the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the cleaning member 120 and the gravity thereof.

[0090] When the hair and debris in the collecting box 160 accumulate to a certain extent, the user can take out the collecting box 160 from the mounting cavity for cleaning according to the frequency of use of the clothes treatment equipment 10, for example, after 5-10 times of use. The arrangement of the collecting box 160 avoids the scattered hair and debris in the mounting cavity, ensures that the cleaning piece 120 is always in a relatively clean working environment, is beneficial to improve the self-cleaning efficiency of the cleaning piece 120, and further ensures the cleaning effect of the cleaning piece 120 on clothes in subsequent use. The detachable collecting box 160 makes it more convenient for the user to clean the hair and debris, reduces the frequency of deep cleaning of the entire lifting rib assembly 100, and reduces the maintenance cost and time cost

[0091] Please refer to Figure 7 According to some embodiments of the present application, the surface of the cleaning piece 120 connected with the seat body 110 includes at least one flat part, and the cleaning felt 121 is arranged on the flat part.

[0092] The surface of the cleaning piece 120 includes a flat part, and the cleaning felt 121 arranged on the flat part is also arranged in a planar manner, which is simple in structure, easy to produce, low in production cost and easy to popularize.

[0093] Among them, the cleaning piece 120 can include multiple flat parts, and the number of flat parts is not limited and is set according to actual needs.

[0094] In an example, the cleaning piece 120 can be designed in a cuboid shape, the mounting plane of the cleaning piece 120 is fixedly connected with the seat body 110, and the other three flat parts around the long axis direction of the cleaning piece 120 can be provided with the cleaning felt 121. The design of multiple flat parts enables the cleaning piece 120 to contact clothes from different angles and directions, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of hair cleaning.

[0095] According to some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning piece 120 is detachably mounted on the seat body 110.

[0096] In an example, multiple elastic buckles can be arranged on the side of the cleaning piece 120 connected with the seat body 110. The buckles are uniformly distributed on the edge of the cleaning piece 120 and matched with the corresponding buckle slots on the seat body 110. When the cleaning piece 120 needs to be installed, the cleaning piece 120 is aligned with the mounting position of the seat body 110, and pressed to make the buckles enter the buckle slots of the seat body 110, so that the installation is completed. This method utilizes the elastic deformation of the elastic buckles to achieve quick and firm connection. When disassembling, the elastic part of the buckle is pressed slightly to make it separate from the buckle slot, so that the cleaning piece 120 can be easily removed.

[0097] In another example, dovetail-shaped protrusions are arranged at the bottom of the cleaning piece 120, and dovetail-shaped grooves are arranged in the mounting cavity of the seat body 110. During mounting, the dovetail-shaped protrusions of the cleaning piece 120 are aligned with the dovetail-shaped grooves of the seat body 110, and then pushed along the direction of the dovetail-shaped grooves until the cleaning piece 120 is completely mounted in place. The design of the dovetail-shaped grooves can provide a larger contact area and friction force, ensuring that the cleaning piece 120 does not displace during the operation of the laundry treatment apparatus 10. During dismounting, the cleaning piece 120 is pushed in the opposite direction so as to slide out of the dovetail-shaped grooves.

[0098] The detachable mounting of the cleaning piece 120 makes the maintenance work more convenient. When the cleaning felt 121 needs to be replaced due to excessive absorption of hair or wear and tear, the user does not need to disassemble the entire lifting rib assembly 100 complicatedly, but only needs to dismount the cleaning piece 120 from the seat body 110, so as to replace the cleaning felt 121 or perform individual maintenance on the cleaning piece 120. This greatly shortens the maintenance time and reduces the maintenance cost.
