[0042] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0043] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 9 This invention describes a garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the garment processing device of this utility model embodiment includes: a housing 4, a first processing cylinder 1, a second processing cylinder 2, a third processing cylinder 3, and a heat pump system 5. The first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 are all disposed inside the housing 4. The second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are both located above the first processing cylinder 1. The second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The heat pump system 5 is disposed inside the housing 4.
[0045] The heat pump system 5 comprises a first air duct 531, a first evaporator 511 and a first condenser 521, the first air duct 531 is communicated with the first treatment drum 1, the first air duct 531 comprises a first pipe 5311, a second pipe 5312 and a third pipe 5313 communicated in sequence, the first pipe 5311 extends along the front-rear direction of the machine shell 4, the second pipe 5312 and the third pipe 5313 both extend along the up-down direction of the machine shell 4 and are arranged side by side, the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 are arranged along the up-down direction of the machine shell 4 and are arranged in any one of the second pipe 5312 and the third pipe 5313.
[0046] According to the embodiments of the utility model, different clothes or other articles to be treated can be placed in the first treatment drum 1, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 for treatment, and the three treatment drums arranged above do not occupy a large space in the height direction of the machine shell 4.
[0047] Since the space arrangement of the heat pump system 5 in the machine shell 4 is limited, the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 are arranged in an up-down arrangement mode, the second pipe 5312 and the third pipe 5313 extend along the up-down direction of the machine shell 4 and are arranged side by side according to the arrangement mode of the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 in the up-down direction, so that the first air duct 531 is generally in the shape of a Chinese character 'j', thereby reducing the occupied space of the heat pump system 5 in the machine shell 4, making the arrangement of parts in the clothes treatment equipment compact, and ensuring smooth airflow in the first air duct 531, which is beneficial to improving the drying effect of clothes in the first treatment drum 1.
[0048] According to the embodiments of the utility model, the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 are arranged in the up-down direction, so that the arrangement direction of the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 is the same as the extension direction of the second pipe 5312 and the third pipe 5313, thereby reducing the overall size of the combination of the first air duct 531, the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521. Compared with the scheme of "arranging the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 horizontally", the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 of the utility model do not increase the size of the machine shell 4 in the front-rear direction or the left-right direction, which is beneficial to improving the structural compactness of the arrangement of parts in the machine shell 4.
[0049] Optionally, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 The second pipe 5312 and the third pipe 5313 are arranged at the rear side of at least one of the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3.
[0050] It is understood that "the second tube 5312 and the third tube 5313 are located on the rear side of at least one of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3" includes at least the following situations:
[0051] (1) The second tube 5312 and the third tube 5313 are located at the position directly behind the second processing tube 2, the position slightly above the rear of the second processing tube 2, the position slightly below the rear of the second processing tube 2, the position slightly to the left of the rear of the second processing tube 2, or the position slightly to the right of the rear of the second processing tube 2.
[0052] (2) The second tube 5312 and the third tube 5313 are located at the position directly behind the third processing cylinder 3, the position slightly above the rear of the third processing cylinder 3, the position slightly below the rear of the third processing cylinder 3, the position slightly to the left of the rear of the third processing cylinder 3, or the position slightly to the right of the rear of the third processing cylinder 3.
[0053] (3) The second tube 5312 and the third tube 5313 are located at the rear side between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. In this case, in the projection plane orthogonal to the front and rear direction of the housing 4, the projection plane of the second tube 5312 and the third tube 5313 may or may not overlap with the projection plane of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3.
[0054] The garment processing device of this utility model has the second tube 5312 and the third tube 5313 located on the rear side of at least one of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, which can make full use of the rear space of the second processing cylinder 2 and / or the third processing cylinder 3, and is beneficial to reducing the size of the casing 4 in the vertical and horizontal directions.
[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the axial dimension (i.e., the dimension in the front-to-back direction) of the second processing cylinder 2 (third processing cylinder 3) is smaller than the axial dimension of the first processing cylinder 1, and the extraction port at the front end of the second processing cylinder 2 (third processing cylinder 3) is roughly flush with the extraction port at the front end of the first processing cylinder 1. Thus, the upper side of the first processing cylinder 1, the rear side of the second processing cylinder 2 (third processing cylinder 3), and the rear wall plate of the casing 4 define a first receiving area 41. The first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 are vertically arranged in the first receiving area 41 to utilize the rear space of the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3.
[0056] In another example, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second tube 5312 and the third tube 5313 are disposed between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. The garment processing device of this embodiment places the second tube 5312 and the third tube 5313 between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, which can fully utilize the space between the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3 and helps to reduce the overall size of the machine.
[0057] Optionally, such asFigures 2 to 4 As shown, the second pipe 5312 and the third pipe 5313 are arranged along the front-rear direction of the housing 4. For example, the second pipe 5312 is arranged in front of the third pipe 5313, or the second pipe 5312 is arranged behind the third pipe 5313. By arranging the second pipe 5312 and the third pipe 5313 along the front-rear direction of the housing 4, the clothing processing device of this embodiment of the present invention facilitates the arrangement of other components on the left and right sides of the first air duct 531, thereby facilitating the arrangement of components around the first air duct 531 and improving space utilization.
[0058] Optionally, the second tube 5312 and the third tube 5313 are arranged along the left-right direction of the housing 4. For example, the second tube 5312 is arranged to the left of the third tube 5313, or the second tube 5312 is arranged to the right of the third tube 5313. By arranging the second tube 5312 and the third tube 5313 along the left-right direction of the housing 4, the garment processing device of this embodiment of the present invention helps to reduce the size of the housing 4 in the front-back direction.
[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the second pipe 5312 is located upstream of the third pipe 5313. Both the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 are located on the second pipe 5312, with the first condenser 521 positioned above the first evaporator 511. It can be understood that when the heat exchange airflow flows through the first air duct 531, the heat exchange airflow in the second pipe 5312 flows towards the third pipe 5313. Since both the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 are located on the second pipe 5312, the arrangement of the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 can be optimized, resulting in a compact overall layout of the heat pump system 5. Furthermore, the aforementioned arrangement of the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 provides better dehumidification and heating effects on the airflow, which is beneficial for improving drying efficiency.
[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the heat pump system 5 also includes a first fan 541, which is located at the connection point of the second pipe 5312 and the second pipe 5312, or, as... Figure 3 As shown, the first fan 541 is located in the third pipe 5313. By arranging the first fan 541 in the above manner, the clothing processing device of this embodiment of the present invention can improve the flow rate of the heat exchange airflow entering the first processing cylinder 1, thereby improving the efficiency of drying clothes in the first processing cylinder 1.
[0061] In another example, such as Figure 4As shown, the second pipe 5312 is arranged upstream of the third pipe 5313, the first evaporator 511 is arranged on the second pipe 5312, and the first condenser 521 is arranged on the third pipe 5313. The clothes treatment apparatus of the embodiment of the present application has the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521 arranged in the above structure, which is beneficial to improve the heat exchange performance of the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521, and can further improve the effect of airflow dehumidification and heating.
[0062] Optionally, the first pipe 5311 is located on the upper side of the first treatment drum 1 and on the lower side of at least one of the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3. As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 As shown, the second treatment drum 2 (the third treatment drum 3) has a certain size interval with the first treatment drum 1 when arranged in the up-down direction to form a second containing area 42, and the first pipe 5311 is arranged in the second containing area 42, so that the space between the second treatment drum 2 (the third treatment drum 3) and the first treatment drum 1 can be utilized, thereby making the arrangement of components in the cabinet 4 more compact and being beneficial to reduce the overall size.
[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in the drawings, Figure 5 As shown, the heat pump system 5 further comprises a second air duct 532, a second evaporator 512 and a second condenser 522, the second evaporator 512 and the second condenser 522 are arranged in the second air duct 532, the second air duct 532 communicates with the second treatment drum 2, and the second air duct 532 and the second treatment drum 2 are located on the same side of the cabinet 4 in the left-right direction of the cabinet 4. It can be understood that the second air duct 532 and the second treatment drum 2 can be located on the left side of the cabinet 4 at the same time, or on the right side of the cabinet 4 at the same time, so as to shorten the extension path of the second air duct 532 and reduce the occupied space of the second air duct 532 in the cabinet 4.
[0064] Exemplarily, the second condenser 522 is arranged on the upper side of the second evaporator 512, and the second condenser 522 and the second evaporator 512 are both located on the rear side of the second treatment drum 2, so as to utilize the space on the rear side of the second treatment drum 2.
[0065] Optionally, as shown in the drawings, Figure 5 As shown, the second air duct 532 comprises a second air outlet pipe 5321, a second intermediate pipe 5322 and a second air inlet pipe 5323, the second air outlet pipe 5321, the second intermediate pipe 5322 and the second air inlet pipe 5323 are sequentially communicated, the second air outlet pipe 5321 and the second air inlet pipe 5323 both extend in the front-rear direction of the cabinet 4, the second air outlet pipe 5321 is arranged between the second treatment drum 2 and the first treatment drum 1, the second air inlet pipe 5323 is arranged on the upper side of the second treatment drum 2, the second intermediate pipe 5322 extends in the up-down direction of the cabinet 4 and is located on the rear side of the second treatment drum 2.
[0066] It can be understood that the second air outlet pipe 5321 is arranged upstream of the second intermediate pipe 5322, and the second intermediate pipe 5322 is arranged upstream of the second air inlet pipe 5323, that is, the air in the second treatment drum 2 can flow back into the second treatment drum 2 again after passing through the second air outlet pipe 5321, the second intermediate pipe 5322 and the second air inlet pipe 5323.
[0067] Since the second intermediate pipe 5322 extends along the up-down direction of the cabinet 4 and is located at the rear side of the second treatment drum 2, the second intermediate pipe 5322 can make full use of the space at the rear side of the second treatment drum 2 to optimize the arrangement of components in the cabinet 4, thereby reducing the overall size of the clothes treatment apparatus.
[0068] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 , the second evaporator 512 and the second condenser 522 are arranged in the second intermediate pipe 5322, and the second condenser 522 is located at the upper side of the second evaporator 512. Exemplarily, the second evaporator 512 and the second condenser 522 are both located inside the second intermediate pipe 5322. Since the second evaporator 512 and the second condenser 522 are arranged in the second intermediate pipe 5322, and the second intermediate pipe 5322 extends along the up-down direction, the second evaporator 512 and the second condenser 522 can make full use of the space in the second intermediate pipe 5322 to make the structure arrangement of the second air duct 532, the second evaporator 512 and the second condenser 522 more compact, and the heat exchange efficiency is higher.
[0069] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 , the heat pump system 5 further includes a third air duct 533, a third evaporator 513 and a third condenser 523, the third evaporator 513 and the third condenser 523 are both arranged in the third air duct 533, the third air duct 533 communicates with the third treatment drum 3, and along the left-right direction of the cabinet 4, the third air duct 533 and the third treatment drum 3 are located on the same side in the cabinet 4.
[0070] It can be understood that, as shown in Figure 6 , the third air duct 533 and the third treatment drum 3 can be located at the left side position in the cabinet 4 at the same time, or located at the right side position in the cabinet 4 at the same time, thereby shortening the extension path of the third air duct 533 and reducing the occupied space of the third air duct 533 in the cabinet 4.
[0071] Exemplarily, the third condenser 523 is arranged at the upper side of the third evaporator 513, and the third condenser 523 and the third evaporator 513 are both located at the rear side of the third treatment drum 3, thereby making full use of the space at the rear side of the third treatment drum 3.
[0072] Optionally, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the third air duct 533 includes a third air outlet pipe 5331, a third intermediate pipe 5332, and a third air inlet pipe 5333. The third air outlet pipe 5331, the third intermediate pipe 5332, and the third air inlet pipe 5333 are connected in sequence. The third air outlet pipe 5331 and the third air inlet pipe 5333 both extend along the front-rear direction of the housing 4. The third air outlet pipe 5331 is located between the third processing cylinder 3 and the first processing cylinder 1. The third air inlet pipe 5333 is located on the upper side of the third processing cylinder 3. The third intermediate pipe 5332 extends along the vertical direction of the housing 4 and is located on the rear side of the third processing cylinder 3.
[0073] It is understandable that the third air outlet duct 5331 is located upstream of the third intermediate duct 5332, and the third intermediate duct 5332 is located upstream of the third air inlet duct 5333. That is, the air in the third treatment cylinder 3 can flow back into the third treatment cylinder 3 after passing through the third air outlet duct 5331, the third intermediate duct 5332 and the third air inlet duct 5333.
[0074] Since the third intermediate tube 5332 extends along the vertical direction of the housing 4 and is located behind the third processing cylinder 3, the third intermediate tube 5332 can make full use of the space behind the third processing cylinder 3 to optimize the arrangement of the components inside the housing 4 and reduce the overall size of the clothing processing equipment.
[0075] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the third evaporator 513 and the third condenser 523 are disposed on the third intermediate tube 5332, with the third condenser 523 located above the third evaporator 513. Exemplarily, both the third evaporator 513 and the third condenser 523 are located inside the third intermediate tube 5332. Since the third evaporator 513 and the third condenser 523 are disposed on the third intermediate tube 5332, which extends vertically, the third evaporator 513 and the third condenser 523 can fully utilize the space within the third intermediate tube 5332, resulting in a more compact structural arrangement of the third air duct 533, the third evaporator 513, and the third condenser 523, and higher heat exchange efficiency.
[0076] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first air duct 531 is located between the second air duct 532 and the third air duct 533. This allows for optimization of the arrangement of the first air duct 531, the second air duct 532, and the third air duct 533. On the one hand, it reduces the length of the first air duct 531, the second air duct 532, and the third air duct 533, lowering the complexity of the air duct design. On the other hand, since the first air duct 531 is located within the second air duct 532 and the third air duct 533, and their left-right arrangement is consistent with the arrangement of the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3, the arrangement of the first air duct 531, the second air duct 532, and the third air duct 533 is more regular, facilitating subsequent assembly of other components.
[0077] As shown in Figure 9 The heat pump system 5 further comprises a compressor 55, and the evaporators (the first evaporator 511, the second evaporator 512 and the third evaporator 513) and the condensers (the first condenser 521, the second condenser 522 and the third condenser 523) are all communicated with the compressor 55 through refrigerant pipelines. It can be understood that the refrigerant pipelines are three groups, one group of refrigerant pipelines is communicated with the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 521, another group of refrigerant pipelines is communicated with the second evaporator 512 and the second condenser 522, and the last group of refrigerant pipelines is communicated with the third evaporator 513 and the third condenser 523. It can be understood that the three groups of evaporators and condensers share one compressor 55, on the one hand, the number of parts used can be reduced, and the production cost of the clothes treatment equipment can be reduced, on the other hand, the space in the cabinet 4 can be saved, so that the compactness of the arrangement of parts in the cabinet 4 is improved.
[0078] It should be noted that the refrigerant pipelines communicated with the compressor 55 are provided with electronic expansion valves 56, reversing valves, capillary tubes and other parts, which are not described herein.
[0079] Exemplarily, the compressor 55 is arranged above the first treatment drum 1, so that the compressor 55 can make full use of the space above the first treatment drum 1, and is close to the evaporators and condensers, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the refrigerant pipelines.
[0080] For example, the compressor 55 can be arranged at the rear side of the second treatment drum 2 or the third treatment drum 3, and is arranged at a position deviated to the left or right of the second accommodating area 42, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the evaporators, condensers and surrounding pipelines.
[0081] In the examples of the present application, the second treatment drum 2 is located above and left of the first treatment drum 1, and the third treatment drum 3 is located above and right of the first treatment drum 1, so that the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 can make full use of the space above and left of the first treatment drum 1 and the space above and right of the first treatment drum 1 respectively.
[0082] In other examples, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 can be located above and left of the first treatment drum 1 at the same time. Alternatively, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 can be located above and right of the first treatment drum 1 at the same time.
[0083] As shown in Figure 1 The second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 are respectively located at the left and right sides of the first treatment drum 1, and the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 are arranged symmetrically. For example, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the axis of the first treatment drum 1, and for another example, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the center of the cabinet 4.
[0084] Therefore, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 are located at the same horizontal height, and the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 are located at the same distance from the axis of the first treatment drum 1 in the left-right direction. On the one hand, the structure of the three treatment drums can be more regular, and on the other hand, the center of gravity of the three treatment drums can be located at the middle position of the cabinet 4, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the clothes treatment equipment during operation.
[0085] As shown in Figure 1 , the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 are the same in size and shape. Therefore, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 do not need to be prepared respectively during the assembly process of the clothes treatment equipment, that is, the materials of the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 are universal, thereby reducing the production cost and facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.
[0086] In other examples, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 can also be different in size and shape, which is not limited in the present application.
[0087] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the axes of the second treatment drum 2, the third treatment drum 3 and the first treatment drum 1 are parallel to each other, and the material outlets of the second treatment drum 2, the third treatment drum 3 and the first treatment drum 1 are all arranged forward, thereby facilitating the daily use of the user.
[0088] As shown in Figure 1 , the capacity of any one of the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3 is less than the capacity of the first treatment drum 1, thereby facilitating the reduction of the center of gravity of the clothes treatment equipment, so that the clothes treatment equipment operates more stably, and the overall size of the clothes treatment equipment can be reduced.
