DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0040] The embodiments of the present utility model are described below in combination with Figures 1-9 The laundry treating apparatus according to the embodiments of the present utility model is described below.

[0041] The laundry treating apparatus according to the embodiments of the present utility model is described below.

[0042] According to the clothes processing device of the embodiment of the utility model, through setting first processing cylinder 1, second processing cylinder 2 and third processing cylinder 3 in the casing 4, different clothes or other articles to be processed can be placed in first processing cylinder 1 to third processing cylinder 3 for processing, and the common setting of first processing cylinder 1 to third processing cylinder 3 effectively improves the space utilization ratio of the casing 4 in the height direction. In addition, the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 are arranged between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, which can make full use of the space between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, and is conducive to reducing the size of the casing 4 in the up-down direction and the front-back direction, and also facilitates forming an air duct communicating with at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, which not only is easy to install, but also can reduce the length of the air duct and reduce energy loss. Therefore, the parts in the clothes processing device of the embodiment of the utility model are arranged compactly, which is conducive to improving the space utilization ratio in the casing 4 and reducing the size of the whole machine.

[0043] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 1 The size of the first processing cylinder 1 is equal to that of the second processing cylinder 2, and the two are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vertical plane where the axis of the third processing cylinder 3 is located. The volume of the first processing cylinder 1 is equal to that of the second processing cylinder 2 and less than that of the third processing cylinder 3, the axial size of the first processing cylinder 1 is equal to that of the second processing cylinder 2 and less than that of the third processing cylinder 3, and the front edge of the first processing cylinder 1, the front edge of the second processing cylinder 2 and the front edge of the third processing cylinder 3 are aligned.

[0044] In some embodiments, at least part of the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 is lower than the lowest point of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2. At this time, the air duct formed for accommodating the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 is closer to the third processing cylinder 3. When the air duct is communicated with the third processing cylinder 3, the length of the air duct can be designed to be shorter, thereby reducing the energy loss in the air duct and effectively reducing the size of the whole machine.

[0045] For example, when the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 are arranged in the up-down direction, at least part of the first evaporator 511 or the first condenser 512 located at the lower position is lower than the lowest point of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2.

[0046] For example, the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 are arranged along the front-back direction of the casing 4, and the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 are both lower than the lowest point of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 are arranged along the front-back direction or the up-down direction of the casing 4.

[0048] By arranging the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 in the front-rear direction, the space between the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2 can be fully utilized, so that the width of the machine shell is not increased or the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2 are not reduced due to the need to additionally increase the size in the left-right direction, effectively providing structural compactness of the arrangement of components in the machine shell 4. By arranging the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 in the up-down direction, the space between the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2 can be fully utilized, so that the width of the machine shell is not increased or the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2 are not reduced due to the need to additionally increase the size in the front-rear direction or the left-right direction, effectively providing structural compactness of the arrangement of components in the machine shell 4.

[0049] As shown in Figures 2-5 , the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 are arranged in the up-down direction. As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 are arranged in the front-rear direction.

[0050] In some embodiments, the heat pump system 5 further comprises a first air duct 513 and a first fan 514, the first evaporator 511, the first condenser 512 and the first fan 514 are arranged in the first air duct 513, and the first air duct 513 is in communication with at least one of the first processing drum 1, the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3.

[0051] Thus, the application range of the clothes treatment equipment can be expanded, and the flexibility of drying different processing drums is improved.

[0052] For example, the first air duct 513 is in communication with the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2. Alternatively, the first air duct 513 is in communication with the first processing drum 1 and the third processing drum 3. Alternatively, the first air duct 513 is in communication with the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3. Alternatively, the first air duct 513 is in communication with each of the first processing drum 1, the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3.

[0053] That is, at least two of the first processing drum 1, the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3 share a first air duct 513, thereby reducing the arrangement of at least one air duct and the evaporator and condenser inside it, effectively reducing the size and cost of the entire machine.

[0054] Alternatively, the first air duct 513 is in communication with one of the first processing drum 1, the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3. That is, the heat exchange airflow in the first air duct 513 dries the clothes in one of the first processing drum 1, the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3, ensuring the drying independence of at least one processing drum, and the clothes treatment equipment has higher functionality.

[0055] For example, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the first air duct 513 communicates with the first processing cylinder 1.

[0056] For another example, as shown in FIG. 5, the first air duct 513 communicates with the second processing cylinder 2. Figure 3

[0057] For yet another example, as shown in FIG. 6, the first air duct 513 communicates with the third processing cylinder 3. Figure 4

[0058] In some embodiments, the heat pump system 5 further comprises a second evaporator 521 and a second condenser 522, which are located at any one of the upper side of at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, the rear side of at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, between at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, and the lower side of the third processing cylinder 3.

[0059] In this way, the arrangement of the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 within the casing 4 is flexible and convenient, and the air ducts in which the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located can respectively communicate with different processing cylinders, so as to ensure that the drying treatment operations of different processing cylinders are independent of each other, and the drying operation of the entire machine is more energy-saving.

[0060] It can be understood that, among the "second evaporator 521 and second condenser 522 are located at any one of the upper side of at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, the rear side of at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, between at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, and the lower side of the third processing cylinder 3", taking the case where the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located at the rear side of at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2 as an example, at least the following cases are included:

[0061] (1) The second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located at the position of the rear side of the first processing cylinder 1, the position of the upper rear side of the first processing cylinder 1, the position of the lower rear side of the first processing cylinder 1, the position of the left rear side of the first processing cylinder 1, or the position of the right rear side of the first processing cylinder 1.

[0062] (2) The second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located at the position of the rear side of the second processing cylinder 2, the position of the upper rear side of the second processing cylinder 2, the position of the lower rear side of the second processing cylinder 2, the position of the left rear side of the second processing cylinder 2, or the position of the right rear side of the second processing cylinder 2.

[0063] ​​(3) The second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located at a rear side position between the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2, in which case, in a projection plane orthogonal to the front-rear direction of the casing 4, the projection plane of the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 can or can not overlap with the projection plane of the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2.

[0064] Meanwhile, taking the case where the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located between at least one of the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3, there are at least the following cases:

[0065] (1) The second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are lower than the lowest point of the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2 and higher than the highest point of the third processing drum 3 in the height direction of the casing 4.

[0066] (2) The second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located at a lower side center position, a lower side left position or a lower side right position of the first processing drum 1 or at a lower side center position, a lower side left position or a lower side right position of the second processing drum 2, and at an upper side center position, an upper side left position or an upper side right position of the third processing drum 3.

[0067] (3) In a projection plane orthogonal to the left-right direction of the casing 4, the projection of the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 can partially overlap with the projection of the first processing drum 1 to the third processing drum 3, or can not overlap with each other. When there is partial overlap, it means that a part of the projection of the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 overlaps with the projection of the lower half of the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2 and / or the upper half of the third processing drum 3.

[0068] In some embodiments, the heat pump system 5 further comprises a first air duct 513, a second air duct 523, a first air fan 514 and a second air fan 524, the first evaporator 511, the first condenser 512 and the first air fan 514 are arranged in the first air duct 513, the second evaporator 521, the second condenser 522 and the second air fan 524 are arranged in the second air duct 523, the first air duct 513 and the second air duct 523 are independent of each other and respectively communicate with at least one of the first processing drum 1, the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3.

[0069] In this way, the heat exchange airflow in the first air duct 513 and / or the second air duct 523 performs independent drying operation on the clothes in one processing drum, the working independence between the processing drums is stronger, and the functionality of the clothes treatment apparatus is higher.

[0070] For example, the first air duct 513 communicates with any one of the first treatment drum 1, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3, and the second air duct 523 communicates with any one of the remaining two of the first treatment drum 1, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3. That is, the heat exchange air flow in the first air duct 513 and the second air duct 523 respectively performs independent drying operation on the clothes in one treatment drum, thereby further improving the working independence between the treatment drums and the functionality of the clothes treatment apparatus.

[0071] For another example, the first air duct 513 communicates with any two of the first treatment drum 1, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3, and the second air duct 523 communicates with the remaining one of the first treatment drum 1, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3.

[0072] For yet another example, the first air duct 513 communicates with any one of the first treatment drum 1, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3, and the second air duct 523 communicates with the remaining two of the first treatment drum 1, the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3.

[0073] Therefore, there are always two treatment drums sharing the first air duct 513 or the second air duct 523, and the heat exchange air flow in the first air duct 513 or the second air duct 523 simultaneously dries the clothes in the two treatment drums, the number of components of the heat pump system 5 is smaller, the space occupied in the cabinet 4 is smaller, and the cost is lower.

[0074] In some embodiments, the heat pump system 5 further comprises a second evaporator 521, a second condenser 522, a third evaporator 531 and a third condenser 532, the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located at any one of the upper side of at least one of the first treatment drum 1 and the second treatment drum 2, the rear side of at least one of the first treatment drum 1 and the second treatment drum 2, between the first treatment drum 1 and the second treatment drum 2, between at least one of the first treatment drum 1 and the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3, and the lower side of the third treatment drum 3, and the third evaporator 531 and the third condenser 532 are located at any one of the upper side of at least one of the first treatment drum 1 and the second treatment drum 2, the rear side of at least one of the first treatment drum 1 and the second treatment drum 2, between the first treatment drum 1 and the second treatment drum 2, between at least one of the first treatment drum 1 and the second treatment drum 2 and the third treatment drum 3, and the lower side of the third treatment drum 3.

[0075] Therefore, the arrangement of the second evaporator 521, the second condenser 522, the third evaporator 531 and the third condenser 532 in the cabinet 4 is flexible and convenient, and the arrangement of the air duct in which the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located and the air duct in which the third evaporator 531 and the third condenser 532 are located ensures that the drying treatment operations of more treatment drums in the cabinet 4 are independent of each other, the drying energy consumption of the whole machine is lower, the working independence of each treatment drum is stronger, and the functionality of the clothes treatment apparatus is higher.

[0076] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located between the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2, and the third evaporator 531 and the third condenser 532 are located between the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2. Figures 5 to 7

[0077] In some embodiments, the heat pump system 5 further comprises a first air duct 513, a second air duct 523, a third air duct 533, a first air fan 514, a second air fan 524 and a third air fan 534, the first evaporator 511, the first condenser 512 and the first air fan 514 are arranged in the first air duct 513, the second evaporator 521, the second condenser 522 and the second air fan 524 are arranged in the second air duct 523, the third evaporator 531, the third condenser 532 and the third air fan 534 are arranged in the third air duct 533, and the first air duct 513, the second air duct 523 and the third air duct 533 are independent of each other.

[0078] In this way, the first processing drum 1, the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3 all independently complete the drying operation of the clothes by using the condensing drying mode, the drying efficiency is higher, the energy consumption is lower, and the working independence of the three processing drums is higher.

[0079] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the third air duct 533 is located between the first air duct 513 and the second air duct 523 in the left-right direction of the cabinet 4. Figures 5-7

[0080] In some embodiments, the first air duct 513 communicates with the first processing drum 1, and the second air duct 523 and the third air duct 533 respectively communicate with the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3. Alternatively, the first air duct 513 communicates with the second processing drum 2, and the second air duct 523 and the third air duct 533 respectively communicate with the first processing drum 1 and the third processing drum 3.

[0081] In this way, the first air duct 513 is closer to the first processing drum 1, the length of the first air duct 513 is smaller, the space occupied in the cabinet 4 is smaller, and the cost of the heat pump system 5 is lower.

[0082] At this time, the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located at any one of the upper side of at least one of the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2, the rear side of at least one of the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2, between the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2, and between at least one of the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3, the third evaporator 531 and the third condenser 532 are located at any one of the rear side of at least one of the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2, between the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2, between at least one of the first processing drum 1 and the second processing drum 2 and the third processing drum 3, and the lower side of the third processing drum 3. ​​

[0083] Thus, the second air duct 523 in communication with the second processing cylinder 2 or the first processing cylinder 1 is prevented from extending below the third processing cylinder 3, the third air duct 533 in communication with the third processing cylinder 3 is prevented from extending above at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, the lengths of the second air duct 523 and the third air duct 533 are smaller, the space occupied in the casing 4 is smaller, and the cost of the heat pump system 5 is lower.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first air duct 513 is in communication with the third processing cylinder 3, and the second air duct 523 and the third air duct 533 are in communication with the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, respectively.

[0085] Since the air inlet and the air outlet of the third processing cylinder 3 are both located at the upper end of the third processing cylinder 3, the length of the first air duct 513 in communication between the air inlet and the air outlet can also be designed to be smaller, thereby effectively reducing the cost of the heat pump system 5.

[0086] At this time, the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522 are located at any one of the upper side of at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, the rear side of at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, and between at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3, and the third evaporator 531 and the third condenser 532 are located at any one of the upper side of at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, the rear side of at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, and between at least one of the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2 and the third processing cylinder 3. Thus, the second air duct 523 in communication with the first processing cylinder 1 is prevented from extending below the third processing cylinder 3, the third air duct 533 in communication with the second processing cylinder 2 is prevented from extending below the third processing cylinder 3, the lengths of the second air duct 523 and the third air duct 533 are smaller, the space occupied in the casing 4 is smaller, and the cost of the heat pump system 5 is lower.

[0087] In some embodiments, the heat pump system 5 includes a two-cylinder air duct 55, a first branch air duct 56, a second branch air duct 57, and a third branch air duct 58, the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512 are arranged in the two-cylinder air duct 55, the first branch air duct 56 is in communication with the first processing cylinder 1, the second branch air duct 57 is in communication with the second processing cylinder 2, the third branch air duct 58 is in communication with the third processing cylinder 3, and the two-cylinder air duct 55 is selectively in communication with at least one of the first branch air duct 56, the second branch air duct 57, and the third branch air duct 58. Thus, the flexibility of the first processing cylinder 1, the second processing cylinder 2, and the third processing cylinder 3 during drying can be improved, the number of evaporators and condensers arranged can be reduced, and the size and cost of the entire machine can be effectively reduced.

[0088] The first branch air duct 56, the second branch air duct 57, and the third branch air duct 58 are independent of each other and are respectively connected to the first treatment cylinder 1, the second treatment cylinder 2, and the third treatment cylinder 3. The two-phase air duct 55 can be selectively connected to the first branch air duct 56, the second branch air duct 57, and the third branch air duct 58 to guide the heat exchange airflow into different treatment cylinders.

[0089] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, an electrically controlled reversing valve can be installed in the dual-evaporator air duct 55 to selectively connect with at least one of the first air duct 513, the second air duct 523, and the third air duct 533. Simultaneously, the dual-evaporator air duct 55 can also house a second evaporator 521, a third evaporator 531, a second condenser 522, and a third condenser 532; that is, all evaporators and condensers are located within the dual-evaporator air duct 55. This reduces the space occupied by the air ducts, evaporators, and condensers, which helps to improve the compactness of the component arrangement within the casing 4 and reduce the overall size of the machine.

[0090] like Figure 9 As shown, the heat pump system 5 also includes a compressor 54. The first evaporator 511, second evaporator 521, third evaporator 531, first condenser 512, second condenser 522, and third condenser 532 are all connected to the compressor 54 via refrigerant piping. It can be understood that there are three sets of refrigerant piping: one set connects to the first evaporator 511 and the first condenser 512; another set connects to the second evaporator 521 and the second condenser 522; and yet another set connects to the third evaporator 531 and the third condenser 532. It can be understood that the three sets of evaporators and condensers share one compressor 54. This reduces the number of components used, lowering the production cost of the clothing processing equipment. Furthermore, it saves space within the casing 4, allowing for a more compact arrangement of components within the casing 4.

[0091] It should be noted that the refrigerant pipeline connected to the compressor 54 is equipped with components such as an electronic expansion valve 55, a reversing valve, and a capillary tube, which will not be described in detail in this utility model.

[0092] For example, the compressor 54 is located above the third processing cylinder 3, so that the compressor 54 can make full use of the space above the third processing cylinder 3 and is close to the three sets of evaporators and condensers, so as to facilitate the arrangement of refrigerant pipelines.
