DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] A wardrobe with clothes care function, according to Figure 1 、 2 , 3, comprising wardrobe body 1 and cabinet door component, wardrobe body 1 is divided into storage area 101 and clothes care area 102, clothes care area 102 is provided with the runner type dehumidifier for drying clothes, the air inlet end and the air outlet end of the runner type dehumidifier are communicated with clothes care area 102, in the embodiment, clothes care area 102 is built-in fixed clothes care machine, and the clothes care machine includes machine body 2 and machine door 3, and machine body 2 is divided into care room 201 and equipment room 202, and the runner type dehumidifier is arranged in the equipment room 202, and the air inlet 4 and the air outlet 5 communicated with the runner type dehumidifier are arranged in the care room 201.

[0035] According to Figure 5 、 8 , the runner type dehumidifier includes the dehumidification runner 6 of rotation setting, and the dehumidification runner 6 is the disc structure of thin plate material with good water absorption performance, and the rotation of the dehumidification runner 6 is controlled by a motor 7, in the embodiment, the dehumidification runner 6 is provided with a toothed disc 8 outside, and the rotating shaft of the motor 7 is provided with a gear 9 engaged with the toothed disc 8, and the dehumidification runner 6 is driven to rotate by the engagement of the gear 9 and the toothed disc 8 when the motor 7 rotates, and the air inlet module is docked on the dehumidification runner 6 and the docking place forms a moisture absorption area, according to Figure 6As shown, the air inlet module includes an air inlet channel 10 arranged between the air inlet 4 and the moisture absorption area, and a fan component 11 is arranged in the air inlet channel 10, which can blow the air in the nursing room 201 into the air inlet channel 10 until the moisture absorption area. The input end of the fan component 11 is connected with the air inlet 4, and the output end faces the moisture absorption area. The backflow channel 12 is arranged between the moisture absorption area and the air outlet 5. In this embodiment, in addition to the dehumidification runner 6, the motor 7, and the fan component 11, an outer shell 13 is arranged. The air inlet channel 10 and the backflow channel 12 are part of the outer shell 13.

[0036] The dehumidification runner 6 is connected with the regeneration module, and the connection part forms a regeneration area. According to Figure 5 、 6 , 8, 9, the regeneration module includes a partial heating component 14 for heating the regeneration area. The regeneration area is connected with a dehumidification assembly, which includes a condensation box 15 arranged in the equipment room 202. The condensation box 15 is divided into a plurality of condensation areas 16. The condensation box 15 is connected with a condensate collection box 25. The condensation box 15 is connected with a heat dissipation fan 17 for dissipating heat from the outer surface of the condensation area 16. The regeneration module further includes a regeneration air duct 18 connecting the regeneration area and the condensation box 15 to form a closed loop. The regeneration air duct 18 is provided with a regeneration fan 19 for circulating the air in the regeneration area between the heating component 14, the regeneration area, and the condensation box 15 to form an air flow. In this embodiment, the regeneration air duct 18 is integrally formed with the outer shell 13. The outer shell 13 is provided with a connection port 20 connected with the condensation box 15 and communicating with the regeneration air duct 18. The heating component 14 is arranged in the regeneration air duct 18 close to the regeneration area.

[0037] In combination with the above structure, referring to Figures 1 to 9 , it can be known that the wardrobe with clothes care function in this embodiment uses a rotary dehumidifier to dry the air. The specific process is as follows.

[0038] The fan component 11 drives the wet air in the care room 201 to enter the air inlet channel 10 from the air inlet 4, and then flows to the moisture absorption area and contacts the dehumidification runner 6. At this time, the moisture in the wet air is adsorbed by the material of the dehumidification runner 6, and the air after the dehumidification runner 6 is dehumidified. The air is dried, and then flows back to the care room 201 through the backflow channel 12 to dry the clothes. The dehumidification runner 6 can quickly absorb the moisture in the wet air to dry it. The air after the dehumidification treatment can reflow into the care room 201 from the backflow channel 12. When the dehumidification runner 6 rotates to the regeneration area, the heating component 14 can evaporate the moisture in the part of the dehumidification runner 6 in the regeneration area after being heated. The water vapor enters the condensing box 15 along with the airflow, and is naturally condensed after contacting the inner wall of the condensing area 16, so that the air is dried again. The dried air is blown to the heating component 14 by the regeneration fan 19 to be heated, and then contacts the dehumidification runner 6 again to form a circulating dehumidification effect. The high-temperature water vapor is condensed in the condensing box 15 to release heat, and the surface of the condensing box 15 is cooled by the cooling fan.

[0039] In this embodiment, the clothes cabinet with clothes care function uses the dehumidification runner 6 to absorb the moisture in the air during drying, and the moisture is collected by natural condensation. The heat released during condensation is carried away by the airflow generated by the cooling fan 17. Compared with the existing clothes care machine, the necessity of setting a compressor in the condensing system is reduced, and the noise generated during drying clothes can be significantly reduced.

[0040] Because the part of the dehumidification runner 6 in the regeneration area is affected by the heating component 14 and the temperature is increased, when the dehumidification runner 6 rotates to the moisture absorption area again, the heat can be transferred to the air passing through the moisture absorption area, so that the temperature of the dried air is higher than before, and the drying effect of the clothes is better.

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] Based on embodiment 1, the clothes cabinet with clothes care function is further limited in this embodiment. According to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the cabinet door component of the clothes cabinet includes a door panel 21 fixedly arranged outside the machine door 3 of the clothes care machine. When the machine door 3 is closed, the door panel 21 is flush with the cabinet body 1. When the machine door 3 is opened, the door panel 21 moves synchronously with the machine door 3 to open the cabinet body 1. The machine door 3 is provided with a boss 22, and the boss 22 is provided with an operation panel 23 for the clothes care machine. The door panel 21 is provided with a mounting slot, and the boss 22 can pass through the slot 24 and protrude outside the door panel 21.

[0043] In combination with the above structure, it can be known that in the embodiment, the clothes care machine is fixedly arranged in the interior of the wardrobe, and the cabinet door part of the wardrobe is fixedly connected with the machine door 3 of the clothes care machine, so that the clothes care machine is completely integrated into the wardrobe to form an integral whole, and the setting mode not only increases the space utilization rate in the room, but also makes the clothes care machine more convenient to use.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and not for limiting the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application have been described in detail, for those skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement.
