Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] The garment processing equipment includes a housing and multiple processing drums located within the housing. These drums are used to process different types of garments separately, facilitating garment sorting. In related technologies, the garment processing equipment also includes air ducts and a switching device. The air ducts are located within the housing, and the switching device directs the airflow within the ducts to different processing drums, achieving drying in each drum.

[0003] However, the switching devices in related technologies are prone to incomplete switching during the switching process, which affects drying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This disclosure aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure propose a garment processing device in which multiple air ducts are independent of each other, resulting in high drying efficiency.

[0006] The garment processing device of this disclosure includes: a housing; a plurality of processing cylinders disposed within the housing; and a drying system disposed within the housing and including a plurality of independent air ducts, each air duct corresponding to at least one of the processing cylinders, at least one air inlet of the air duct communicating with the corresponding at least one of the processing cylinders, and at least one air outlet of the air duct communicating with the corresponding at least one of the processing cylinders.

[0007] In the garment processing device of this disclosure, any air duct is connected to at least one processing cylinder, and the multiple air ducts are independent of each other. The air in the multiple air ducts flows to the corresponding processing cylinders respectively, so as to avoid the air entering the multiple processing cylinders from affecting each other, thereby improving the reliability of air entering the multiple processing cylinders, improving drying efficiency, and reducing energy consumption and cost.

[0008] In some embodiments, the drying system further includes a refrigerant circuit, which includes a compressor, multiple evaporators and multiple condensers. The multiple evaporators are connected in series, the multiple condensers are connected in series, and the multiple evaporators and multiple condensers are connected in series with each other. The multiple evaporators correspond one-to-one with the multiple air ducts, and the multiple condensers correspond one-to-one with the multiple air ducts. The evaporators and the condensers are respectively located in the corresponding air ducts.

[0009] The clothing processing device of this disclosure forms a refrigerant circuit by connecting multiple evaporators in series in multiple air ducts and connecting multiple condensers in series in multiple air ducts. The refrigerant circuit is used to heat the air in multiple air ducts, which can improve the evaporation efficiency and heat exchange efficiency. The multiple evaporators and multiple condensers are connected in series and share a single compressor, which can reduce the number of refrigerant circuits and the number of compressors, thereby improving the structural compactness of the clothing processing device.

[0010] In some embodiments, the drying system further includes multiple refrigerant circuits, each refrigerant circuit including an evaporator and a condenser, and multiple refrigerant circuits sharing a single compressor. Each of the multiple refrigerant circuits corresponds one-to-one with a multiple air duct, and the evaporator and condenser of each refrigerant circuit are located in the corresponding air duct.

[0011] In the clothing processing device of this disclosure, multiple evaporators of multiple air ducts are connected in parallel, and multiple condensers of multiple air ducts are connected in parallel, so that each air duct corresponds to a refrigerant circuit, and each refrigerant circuit is only used to heat the air in the air duct corresponding to the refrigerant circuit, thereby making the drying of multiple processing drums independent of each other and improving the drying efficiency of multiple processing drums.

[0012] In some embodiments, the drying system further includes multiple refrigerant circuits, each including an evaporator and a condenser. Multiple refrigerant circuits share a single compressor, with multiple condensers of the multiple refrigerant circuits connected in parallel and multiple evaporators of the multiple refrigerant circuits connected in series.

[0013] The clothing processing apparatus of this disclosure uses multiple evaporators connected in series and multiple condensers connected in parallel, which reduces the flow resistance of the refrigerant in the pipes of adjacent condensers, improves drying efficiency, and reduces the complexity of the drying system.

[0014] In some embodiments, the drying system further includes multiple refrigerant circuits, each including an evaporator and a condenser. Multiple refrigerant circuits share a single compressor, with multiple condensers of the multiple refrigerant circuits connected in series and multiple evaporators of the multiple refrigerant circuits connected in parallel.

[0015] The clothing processing device of this disclosure uses multiple evaporators connected in parallel and multiple condensers connected in series. Compared with multiple evaporators connected in series, this reduces energy consumption and the complexity of the refrigerant circuit, thereby reducing the cost of the drying system.

[0016] In some embodiments, the drying system further includes multiple refrigerant circuits, the multiple refrigerant circuits sharing a single compressor, the multiple refrigerant circuits including at least one first refrigerant circuit, each first refrigerant circuit corresponding to at least two air ducts, the first refrigerant circuit including at least two evaporators connected in series and at least two condensers connected in series, the at least two evaporators and at least two condensers of each first refrigerant circuit being respectively disposed in the corresponding air ducts.

[0017] The clothing processing device of this disclosure improves evaporation efficiency and heat exchange efficiency by sharing a first refrigerant circuit with at least two air ducts and connecting at least two evaporators and at least two condensers in the first refrigerant circuit in series. This ensures that the flow rate of refrigerant flowing through the at least two condensers and at least two evaporators is the same, preventing refrigerant from flowing out of the at least two condensers and at least two evaporators. It also reduces the number of refrigerant circuits and improves the structural compactness of the clothing processing device.

[0018] In some embodiments, the plurality of refrigerant circuits include at least one second refrigerant circuit, the second refrigerant circuit including an evaporator and a condenser, the second refrigerant circuit corresponding to a duct, the evaporator and condenser of the second refrigerant circuit being disposed in the corresponding duct, and the second refrigerant circuit and the first refrigerant circuit being connected in parallel with each other.

[0019] The garment processing device of this disclosure connects the second refrigerant circuit and the first refrigerant circuit in parallel, making the second refrigerant circuit independent of the first refrigerant circuit. This avoids the refrigerant in the first refrigerant circuit affecting the temperature of the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circuit, ensuring that the second refrigerant circuit is only used to heat the air in the air duct corresponding to the second refrigerant circuit, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0020] In some embodiments, the plurality of refrigerant circuits include at least one second refrigerant circuit, the second refrigerant circuit including an evaporator and a condenser, the second refrigerant circuit corresponding to an air duct, the evaporator and condenser of the second refrigerant circuit being disposed in the corresponding air duct, and the evaporator of the second refrigerant circuit being connected in series with the evaporator of the first refrigerant circuit.

[0021] The garment processing apparatus of this disclosure connects the evaporators of multiple air ducts in series and connects the condenser of the second refrigerant circuit in parallel with the condenser of the first refrigerant circuit. This allows the refrigerant to flow to the condensers of the second and first refrigerant circuits respectively, preventing the refrigerant in the first refrigerant circuit from affecting the refrigerant temperature of the condenser in the second refrigerant circuit. This ensures the heating effect of the condenser in the second refrigerant circuit on the air in the air duct, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0022] In some embodiments, the plurality of refrigerant circuits include at least one second refrigerant circuit, the second refrigerant circuit including an evaporator and a condenser, the second refrigerant circuit corresponding to an air duct, the evaporator and condenser of the second refrigerant circuit being disposed in the corresponding air duct, and the condenser of the second refrigerant circuit being connected in series with the condenser of the first refrigerant circuit.

[0023] The clothing processing device of this disclosure uses an evaporator in the second refrigerant circuit connected in parallel with the evaporator in the first refrigerant circuit, and multiple condensers in the air ducts connected in series, so that the refrigerant flows to the compressor through the evaporators in the second refrigerant circuit and the first refrigerant circuit respectively, thereby increasing the flow speed of the refrigerant and improving the drying efficiency.

[0024] In some embodiments, the plurality of processing cylinders include a first processing cylinder, a second processing cylinder, and a third processing cylinder, wherein the capacity of the first processing cylinder and the capacity of the second processing cylinder are both smaller than the capacity of the third processing cylinder, the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder are respectively associated with at least two air ducts corresponding to the first refrigerant circuit, and the third processing cylinder is associated with one air duct corresponding to the second refrigerant circuit.

[0025] In the garment processing device of this embodiment, when the third processing drum is a large drum and the first and second processing drums are small drums, the third processing drum is connected to the air duct corresponding to the second refrigerant circuit. The two air ducts corresponding to the first refrigerant circuit are respectively connected to the first and second processing drums. That is, the large drum has one refrigerant circuit and the two small drums share one refrigerant circuit, thereby ensuring the drying efficiency of the large drum.

[0026] In some embodiments, the drying system further includes multiple refrigerant circuits, which share a single compressor. Each refrigerant circuit includes at least one first refrigerant circuit and at least two second refrigerant circuits connected in parallel with the first refrigerant circuit. Both the first and second refrigerant circuits include an evaporator and a condenser. Each first refrigerant circuit corresponds to at least one air duct. The evaporator and condenser of each first refrigerant circuit are located in a corresponding air duct. At least two evaporators of at least two second refrigerant circuits are connected in series, and at least two evaporators of each second refrigerant circuit are respectively located in corresponding air ducts. Alternatively, at least two condensers of at least two second refrigerant circuits are connected in series, and at least two condensers of each second refrigerant circuit are respectively located in corresponding air ducts.

[0027] The garment processing apparatus of this disclosure connects the evaporator and condenser of the first refrigerant circuit in parallel with the evaporator and condenser of the second refrigerant circuit, making the first refrigerant circuit and the second refrigerant circuit independent of each other. This avoids the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circuit affecting the temperature of the refrigerant in the first refrigerant circuit, ensuring that the refrigerant in the first refrigerant circuit is only used to heat the air in the air duct corresponding to the first refrigerant circuit, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0028] In some embodiments, the plurality of processing cylinders include a first processing cylinder, a second processing cylinder, and a third processing cylinder, wherein the capacity of the first processing cylinder and the capacity of the second processing cylinder are both smaller than the capacity of the third processing cylinder, the third processing cylinder corresponds to one air duct corresponding to the first refrigerant circuit, and the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder respectively correspond to at least two air ducts corresponding to the second refrigerant circuit.

[0029] In the garment processing device of this embodiment, when the third processing drum is a large drum and the first and second processing drums are small drums, the third processing drum is aligned with an air duct corresponding to the first refrigerant circuit, so that the large drum has a refrigerant circuit and the two small drums share a refrigerant circuit, thereby ensuring the drying efficiency of the large drum.

[0030] In some embodiments, the plurality of air ducts include at least one first air duct and at least one second air duct, the drying system further includes an evaporator and a condenser disposed in the first air duct, and the drying system further includes a heater for heating the air in the second air duct.

[0031] The garment processing apparatus of this disclosure uses a refrigerant circuit to heat air in at least one first air duct and a heater to heat air in at least one second air duct. By setting up the refrigerant circuit and the heater, the drying efficiency of multiple processing drums is improved.

[0032] In some embodiments, the drying system further includes a housing, the inner cavity of which is divided into a plurality of chambers, the plurality of chambers being independent of each other and corresponding to a plurality of air ducts, the air ducts communicating with the corresponding chambers, the drying system further including an evaporator and a condenser, the evaporator and condenser being disposed in the air ducts, the evaporator or condenser of the air duct being disposed in the chamber corresponding to the air duct.

[0033] The clothing processing device of this disclosure has multiple independent chambers, which can house multiple evaporators or multiple condensers. This protects the evaporators or condensers from external forces and isolates them from the external environment, reducing the impact of the external environment on the evaporators or condensers.

[0034] In some embodiments, the evaporator is a single unit and includes multiple evaporation sections corresponding to multiple air ducts, with the evaporation sections of the air ducts disposed in the chambers corresponding to the air ducts; or, the condenser is a single unit and includes multiple condensation sections corresponding to multiple air ducts, with the condensation sections of the air ducts disposed in the chambers corresponding to the air ducts.

[0035] The garment processing apparatus of this disclosure sets the evaporation section in multiple chambers as one evaporator, and dries the air in the corresponding air duct through multiple parts (multiple evaporation sections) of one evaporator, which can reduce the number of evaporators and improve assembly efficiency; or, by setting the condensation section in multiple chambers as one condenser, and heating the air in the corresponding air duct through multiple parts (multiple condensation sections) of one condenser, the number of condensers can be reduced and assembly efficiency can be improved.

[0036] In some embodiments, the drying system further includes a first housing and a second housing. The inner cavity of the first housing is divided into a plurality of first chambers, which are independent of each other and correspond to a plurality of air ducts. The inner cavity of the second housing is divided into a plurality of second chambers, which are independent of each other and correspond to a plurality of air ducts. The air ducts communicate with corresponding first chambers and corresponding second chambers. The drying system further includes an evaporator and a condenser, which are disposed in the air ducts. The evaporator of the air duct is disposed in a first chamber corresponding to the air duct, and the condenser of the air duct is disposed in a second chamber corresponding to the air duct.

[0037] The clothing processing apparatus of this disclosure has multiple independent first chambers for placing multiple evaporators, which protect the evaporators from external forces and isolate them from the external environment, reducing the impact of the external environment on the evaporators. It also has multiple independent second chambers for placing multiple condensers, which protect the condensers from external forces and isolate them from the external environment, reducing the impact of the external environment on the condensers.

[0038] In some embodiments, the evaporator is a single unit and includes multiple evaporation sections corresponding to multiple air ducts, the evaporation sections of the air ducts being disposed in a first chamber corresponding to the air ducts; the condenser is a single unit and includes multiple condensation sections corresponding to multiple air ducts, the condensation sections of the air ducts being disposed in a second chamber corresponding to the air ducts.

[0039] The garment processing apparatus of this disclosure reduces the number of evaporators and condensers and improves assembly efficiency by setting the evaporation section in a plurality of first chambers as one evaporator and the condensation section in a plurality of second chambers as one condenser, and by drying the air in the corresponding air duct through multiple parts (multiple evaporation sections) of one evaporator and heating the air in the corresponding air duct through multiple parts (multiple condensation sections) of one condenser.

[0040] In some embodiments, the plurality of air ducts correspond one-to-one with the plurality of processing cylinders.

[0041] In the garment processing device of this disclosure, multiple air ducts are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple processing cylinders, so that each processing cylinder corresponds to one air duct, thereby allowing the air in the multiple air ducts to flow to the corresponding multiple processing cylinders respectively, improving the drying efficiency of the processing cylinders.

[0042] In some embodiments, at least one of the air ducts corresponds to at least two of the processing cylinders.

[0043] The garment processing device of this disclosure has at least one air duct corresponding to at least two processing cylinders, so that the air in the at least one air duct can flow to at least two processing cylinders respectively, thereby reducing the number of air ducts and the number of evaporators and condensers, and improving the structural compactness of the garment processing device.

[0044] In some embodiments, at least one air duct corresponds to a single processing cylinder.

[0045] The garment processing device of this disclosure corresponds at least one air duct to at least two processing cylinders, and at least one air duct to a single processing cylinder, such that the single processing cylinder corresponds to a single air duct, while at least two processing cylinders share a single air duct. This ensures the drying effect of the single processing cylinder while reducing the number of air ducts, thereby improving the structural compactness of the garment processing device.

[0046] In some embodiments, the drying system further includes a heater for heating air within at least one air duct.

[0047] The clothing processing device of this disclosure reduces the complexity of the clothing processing device and thus reduces costs by installing a heater in the air duct and heating the air in the air duct with the heater.

[0048] In some embodiments, there are multiple heaters, and each of the multiple heaters corresponds to a multiple of the air ducts.

[0049] The garment processing device of this disclosure, by setting up multiple heaters, can heat the air in multiple air ducts respectively, so as to achieve simultaneous drying of multiple processing drums and improve drying efficiency.

[0050] In some embodiments, the drying system further includes a plurality of fans corresponding to the plurality of air ducts, the fans being disposed in the corresponding air ducts.

[0051] In the garment processing apparatus of this disclosure, multiple fans are used to deliver air from multiple air ducts to multiple processing drums. By setting up multiple fans, the circulation efficiency of the air in the air ducts is improved, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the multiple processing drums.

[0052] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a plurality of filters corresponding to a plurality of air ducts, the filters being disposed in the corresponding air ducts and adjacent to the air outlet of the processing cylinder.

[0053] The clothing processing device of this disclosure, through the arrangement of multiple filters, can respectively intercept impurities in the clothing in multiple processing drums, preventing impurities from entering the evaporator and condenser, and ensuring the normal operation of the drying process.

[0054] In some embodiments, the plurality of processing cylinders include a first processing cylinder, a second processing cylinder, and a third processing cylinder. The first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder are disposed above the third processing cylinder. The first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The capacity of the first processing cylinder and the capacity of the second processing cylinder are both smaller than the capacity of the third processing cylinder.

[0055] The clothing processing device of this disclosure has at least three processing drums, which allows users to process different clothes through at least three different processing drums and dry the clothes in at least three processing drums through at least three independent air ducts, thereby improving the drying efficiency of multiple processing drums.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder share a common air duct, and the third processing cylinder corresponds to a single air duct.

[0057] In the clothing processing device of this embodiment, since the first and second processing drums have smaller capacities and the third processing drum has a larger capacity, by having the two small drums share a common air duct and each large drum correspond to a separate air duct, the number of air ducts can be reduced, saving space, while ensuring the drying effect of the large drum.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first processing cylinder, the second processing cylinder, and the third processing cylinder correspond one-to-one with three air ducts.

[0059] The garment processing device of this disclosure improves the drying effect of the first, second, and third processing drums by corresponding the first, second, and third processing drums to three air ducts, with the three air ducts being independent of each other, so as to avoid mutual interference between the air entering the first, second, and third processing drums.

[0060] In some embodiments, one of the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder shares an air duct with the third processing cylinder, and the other of the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder corresponds to a single air duct.

[0061] In the clothing processing device of this embodiment, since the first and second processing drums have smaller capacities and the third processing drum has a larger capacity, by sharing an air duct with the large drum, one of the two small drums can utilize the larger air volume of the air duct corresponding to the large drum, allowing the small drum to borrow part of the air from the air duct corresponding to the large drum. This achieves drying of the small drum while reducing the number of air ducts and improving space utilization. Attached Figure Description

[0091] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, with examples of these embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0092] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-14 The garment processing device of this embodiment will be described in detail.

[0093] The garment processing device of this disclosure includes a housing 1, a plurality of processing drums 2, and a drying system 3. The plurality of processing drums 2 are disposed within the housing 1. The drying system 3 is disposed within the housing 1 and includes a plurality of independent air ducts 31. Each air duct 31 corresponds to at least one of the processing drums 2, and at least one air inlet of the air duct 31 is connected to the corresponding at least one processing drum 2, and at least one air outlet of the air duct 31 is connected to the corresponding at least one processing drum 2. Here, "corresponding to a processing drum" means that the air duct and the processing drum are connected.

[0094] In the garment processing apparatus of this disclosure, each air duct 31 corresponds to at least one processing cylinder 2, and the multiple air ducts 31 are independent of each other. The air in the multiple air ducts 31 flows to the corresponding processing cylinder 2 respectively, so as to avoid mutual interference between the air entering the multiple processing cylinders 2, improve the reliability of air entering the multiple processing cylinders 2, improve drying efficiency, and reduce energy consumption and cost. Here, "independent air ducts" means that the air ducts are not connected, and the gas flow in different air ducts does not interfere with each other.

[0095] Specifically, the processing cylinder 2 has an air inlet 21 and an air outlet 22. At least one air outlet end of the air duct 31 is connected to the air inlet 21 of the corresponding at least one processing cylinder 2, and at least one air inlet end of the air duct 31 is connected to the air outlet 22 of the corresponding at least one processing cylinder 2. The airflow in the air duct 31 is directed to the at least one processing cylinder 2 for drying, and the airflow in the at least one processing cylinder 2 returns to the air duct 31. The air circulates between the air duct 31 and the one or more processing cylinders corresponding to the air duct 31 to form a ventilation loop.

[0096] Any air duct 31 corresponds to at least one processing cylinder 2, which can be understood as one air duct 31 corresponding to one processing cylinder 2, or one air duct 31 corresponding to multiple processing cylinders 2.

[0097] Optionally, the plurality of treatment cylinders 2 are three, including a first treatment cylinder 23, a second treatment cylinder 24 and a third treatment cylinder 25, and the plurality of air ducts 31 include a first air duct 311, a second air duct 312 and a third air duct 313. The first air duct 311 is connected to the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22 of the first treatment cylinder 23 to form a first ventilation circuit. The second air duct 312 is connected to the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22 of the second treatment cylinder 24 to form a second ventilation circuit. The third air duct 313 is connected to the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22 of the third treatment cylinder 25 to form a third ventilation circuit. The first ventilation circuit, the second ventilation circuit and the third ventilation circuit are independent of each other.

[0098] In some embodiments, the drying system 3 further includes a refrigerant circuit 32, which includes a compressor 321, multiple evaporators 322 and multiple condensers 323. The multiple evaporators 322 are connected in series, the multiple condensers 323 are connected in series, the multiple evaporators 322 and the multiple condensers 323 are connected in series with each other, the multiple evaporators 322 correspond one-to-one with multiple air ducts 31, the multiple condensers 323 correspond one-to-one with multiple air ducts 31, and the evaporators 322 and condensers 323 are respectively disposed in the corresponding air ducts 31.

[0099] The clothing processing device of this embodiment forms a refrigerant circuit 32 by connecting multiple evaporators 322 in series with multiple air ducts 31 and multiple condensers 323 in series with multiple air ducts 31. The refrigerant circuit 32 is used to heat the air in the multiple air ducts 31, which can improve the evaporation efficiency and heat exchange efficiency. The multiple evaporators 322 and multiple condensers 323 are connected in series and share a single compressor 321, which can reduce the number of refrigerant circuits 32 and the number of compressors 321, thereby improving the structural compactness of the clothing processing device.

[0100] Specifically, multiple evaporators 322 correspond one-to-one with multiple air ducts 31 and are respectively located in multiple air ducts 31, and multiple condensers 323 correspond one-to-one with multiple air ducts 31 and are respectively located in multiple air ducts 31. That is to say, each air duct 31 has one evaporator 322 and one condenser 323. The air in the air duct 31 first flows through the evaporator 322 and then flows through the condenser 323.

[0101] Specifically, Figure 1 A first embodiment of the refrigerant circuit 32 is shown, wherein a plurality of condensers 323 include a first condenser 3231, a second condenser 3232 and a third condenser 3233, and a plurality of evaporators 322 include a first evaporator 3221, a second evaporator 3222 and a third evaporator 3223. The first evaporator 3221 and the first condenser 3231 are disposed in a first air duct 311, the second evaporator 3222 and the second condenser 3232 are disposed in a second air duct 312, and the third evaporator 3223 and the third condenser 3233 are disposed in a third air duct 313. The first evaporator 3221, the third evaporator 3223, and the second evaporator 3222 are connected in series. The first condenser 3231, the third condenser 3233, and the second condenser 3232 are connected in series. The compressor 321 has an inlet 3211 and an outlet 3212. The inlet 3211 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first evaporator 3221, and the outlet 3212 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first condenser 3231. The second evaporator 3222 and the second condenser 3232 are connected in series to form a refrigerant circuit 32, and the refrigerant circuit 32 is a single circuit.

[0102] The inlet 3211 of compressor 321 is connected to evaporator 322, and the outlet 3212 of compressor 321 is connected to condenser 323 to form refrigerant circuit 32. Compressor 321 delivers high-pressure gaseous refrigerant to condenser 323. The high-pressure gaseous refrigerant condenses and liquefies in condenser 323 into high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and releases a large amount of heat in condenser 323 to heat the air in air duct 31 (humid air flowing out from handling cylinder 2). The high-pressure liquid refrigerant becomes low-pressure liquid refrigerant after passing through throttling element 6. The low-pressure liquid refrigerant then condenses and liquefies in evaporator 322. After absorbing heat in the evaporator 322 to form gaseous refrigerant, it flows to the compressor 321. The humid air flowing out of the processing cylinder 2 is sent to the evaporator 322, where the moisture in the humid air is liquefied, and the humid air becomes dry air. The dry air flows to the condenser 323 for heating to form dry hot air. The dry hot air enters the processing cylinder 2 and carries away the moisture on the clothes inside the processing cylinder 2. The dry hot air forms humid air and flows out of the processing cylinder 2, returning to the evaporator 322 and the condenser 323. This cycle repeats to dry the clothes.

[0103] Optionally, the garment handling equipment also includes a throttling element 6, which is disposed between the evaporator 322 and the condenser 323.

[0104] In some embodiments, the drying system 3 further includes multiple refrigerant circuits 32, each including an evaporator 322 and a condenser 323, and the multiple refrigerant circuits 32 share a compressor 321. The multiple refrigerant circuits 32 correspond one-to-one with multiple air ducts 31, and the evaporator 322 and condenser 323 of the refrigerant circuit 32 are located in the corresponding air ducts 31.

[0105] In this embodiment of the garment processing equipment, multiple evaporators 322 of multiple air ducts 31 are connected in parallel, and multiple condensers 323 of multiple air ducts 31 are connected in parallel, so that each air duct 31 corresponds to a refrigerant circuit 32, and each refrigerant circuit 32 is only used to heat the air in the air duct 31 corresponding to the refrigerant circuit 32, thereby making the drying of multiple processing cylinders 2 independent of each other and improving the drying efficiency of multiple processing cylinders 2.

[0106] Specifically, Figure 2A second embodiment of the refrigerant circuit 32 is shown. The first evaporator 3221, the third evaporator 3223, and the second evaporator 3222 are connected in parallel. The first condenser 3231, the third condenser 3233, and the second condenser 3232 are also connected in parallel. The inlet 3211 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first evaporator 3221, the second evaporator 3222, and the third evaporator 3223, respectively. The outlet 3212 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first condenser 3231, the second condenser 3232, and the third condenser 3233, respectively. The first evaporator 3221 and the first condenser 3231 are connected to form the first refrigerant circuit 32. The second evaporator 3221... 222 is connected to the second condenser 3232 to form a second refrigerant circuit 32, and the third evaporator 3223 is connected to the third condenser 3233 to form a third refrigerant circuit 32. The three refrigerant circuits 32 are independent of each other. That is, the first refrigerant circuit 32 is only used to heat the air in the first air duct 311, the second refrigerant circuit 32 is only used to heat the air in the second air duct 312, and the third refrigerant circuit 32 is only used to heat the air in the third air duct 313. This makes the drying of the first processing cylinder 23, the second processing cylinder 24 and the third processing cylinder 25 independent of each other, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the first processing cylinder 23, the second processing cylinder 24 and the third processing cylinder 25.

[0107] In some embodiments, the drying system 3 further includes multiple refrigerant circuits 32, each including an evaporator 322 and a condenser 323. The multiple refrigerant circuits 32 share a single compressor 321. The multiple condensers 323 of the multiple refrigerant circuits 32 are connected in parallel with each other, and the multiple evaporators 322 of the multiple refrigerant circuits 32 are connected in series with each other.

[0108] The clothing processing device of this disclosure reduces the flow resistance of the refrigerant in the pipes of adjacent condensers 323 by connecting multiple evaporators 322 in series and multiple condensers 323 in parallel, thereby improving drying efficiency and reducing the complexity of the drying system 3.

[0109] Figure 3A third embodiment of the refrigerant circuit 32 is shown. The first evaporator 3221, the third evaporator 3223, and the second evaporator 3222 are connected in series. The first condenser 3231, the third condenser 3233, and the second condenser 3232 are connected in parallel. The inlet 3211 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first evaporator 3221, and the outlet 3212 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first condenser 3231, the second condenser 3232, and the third condenser 3233, respectively. The first condenser 3231 and the second evaporator 3222 are connected to form the first refrigerant circuit 32. The second condenser 3232 and the second evaporator 3222 are connected to form the second refrigerant circuit 32. The third condenser 3233 and the second evaporator 3222 are connected to form the third refrigerant circuit 32. The first refrigerant circuit 32 is used to heat the air in the first air duct 311. The second refrigerant circuit 32 is used to heat the air in the second air duct 312. The third refrigerant circuit 32 is used to heat the air in the third air duct 313.

[0110] In some embodiments, the drying system 3 further includes multiple refrigerant circuits 32, each including an evaporator 322 and a condenser 323. The multiple refrigerant circuits 32 share a single compressor 321. The multiple condensers 323 of the multiple refrigerant circuits 32 are connected in series with each other, and the multiple evaporators 322 of the multiple refrigerant circuits 32 are connected in parallel with each other.

[0111] In this embodiment, multiple evaporators 322 are connected in parallel and multiple condensers 323 are connected in series. Compared with multiple evaporators 322 connected in series, energy consumption is reduced and the complexity of the refrigerant circuit 32 is reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the drying system 3.

[0112] Specifically, Figure 4 A fourth embodiment of the refrigerant circuit 32 is shown, in which the first condenser 3231, the third condenser 3233, and the second condenser 3232 are connected in series, and the first evaporator 3221, the third evaporator 3223, and the second evaporator 3222 are connected in parallel. The inlet 3211 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first evaporator 3221, the third evaporator 3223, and the second evaporator 3222, respectively. The outlet 3212 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first condenser 3231, and the second condenser 3232 is connected to the first evaporator 3221, the third evaporator 3223, and the second evaporator 3222, respectively, so that the refrigerant passing through the second condenser 3232 flows to the first evaporator 3221, the third evaporator 3223, and the second evaporator 3222, respectively.

[0113] In some embodiments, the drying system 3 further includes a plurality of refrigerant circuits 32, which share a compressor 321. The plurality of refrigerant circuits 32 include at least one first refrigerant circuit 324, each first refrigerant circuit 324 corresponding to at least two air ducts 31. The first refrigerant circuit 324 includes at least two evaporators 322 connected in series and at least two condensers 323 connected in series. The at least two evaporators 322 and at least two condensers 323 of each first refrigerant circuit 324 are respectively disposed in the corresponding air ducts 31.

[0114] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, at least two air ducts 31 share a first refrigerant circuit 324, and at least two evaporators 322 and at least two condensers 323 in the first refrigerant circuit 324 are connected in series, so that the flow rate of refrigerant flowing through the at least two condensers 323 and the at least two evaporators 322 is the same, avoiding the refrigerant from flowing out of the at least two condensers 323 and the at least two evaporators 322. This can improve evaporation efficiency and heat exchange efficiency, and also reduce the number of refrigerant circuits 32, thereby improving the structural compactness of the clothing processing equipment.

[0115] In some embodiments, the plurality of refrigerant circuits 32 include at least one second refrigerant circuit 325, the second refrigerant circuit 325 includes an evaporator 322 and a condenser 323, the second refrigerant circuit 325 corresponds to an air duct 31, the evaporator 322 and the condenser 323 of the second refrigerant circuit 325 are disposed in the corresponding air duct 31, and the second refrigerant circuit 325 and the first refrigerant circuit 324 are connected in parallel with each other.

[0116] This embodiment of the present disclosure connects the second refrigerant circuit 325 and the first refrigerant circuit 324 in parallel, making the second refrigerant circuit 325 independent of the first refrigerant circuit 324. This avoids the refrigerant in the first refrigerant circuit 324 affecting the temperature of the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circuit 325, ensuring that the second refrigerant circuit 325 is only used to heat the air in the air duct 31 corresponding to the second refrigerant circuit 325, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0117] Specifically, Figure 5A fifth embodiment of the refrigerant circuit 32 is shown. The third evaporator 3223 is connected in series with the second evaporator 3222 and in parallel with the first evaporator 3221. The third condenser 3233 is connected in series with the second condenser 3232 and in parallel with the first condenser 3231. The inlet 3211 of the compressor 321 is connected to both the first evaporator 3221 and the third evaporator 3223. The outlet 3212 of the compressor 321 is connected to both the first condenser 3231 and the third condenser 3233. The first condenser 3231 and the first evaporator 3221 are connected to form a second refrigerant circuit 325. The second condenser 3232 and the second evaporator 3222 are connected to form a first refrigerant circuit 324. The second refrigerant circuit 325 is used to heat the air in the first air duct 311. The first refrigerant circuit 324 is used to heat the air in the third air duct 313 and the second air duct 312.

[0118] In some embodiments, the plurality of refrigerant circuits 32 include at least one second refrigerant circuit 325. The second refrigerant circuit 325 includes an evaporator 322 and a condenser 323. The second refrigerant circuit 325 corresponds to an air duct 31. The evaporator 322 and the condenser 323 of the second refrigerant circuit 325 are disposed in the corresponding air duct 31. The evaporator 322 of the second refrigerant circuit 325 is connected in series with the evaporator 322 of the first refrigerant circuit 324.

[0119] This embodiment connects the evaporators 322 of multiple air ducts 31 in series, and connects the condenser 323 of the second refrigerant circuit 325 in parallel with the condenser 323 of the first refrigerant circuit 324. This allows the refrigerant to flow to the condensers 323 of the second refrigerant circuit 325 and the first refrigerant circuit 324 respectively, preventing the refrigerant in the condenser 323 of the first refrigerant circuit 324 from affecting the refrigerant temperature in the condenser 323 of the second refrigerant circuit 325. This ensures the heating effect of the condenser 323 of the second refrigerant circuit 325 on the air duct 31, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0120] Specifically, Figure 6 A sixth embodiment of the refrigerant circuit 32 is shown. The third condenser 3233 and the second condenser 3232 are connected in series and in parallel with the first condenser 3231. The first evaporator 3221, the third evaporator 3223 and the second evaporator 3222 are connected in series with each other. The inlet 3211 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first evaporator 3221. The outlet 3212 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first condenser 3231 and the third condenser 3233. The first condenser 3231 and the first evaporator 3221 are connected to form a second refrigerant circuit 325. The second condenser 3232 and the second evaporator 3222 are connected to form a first refrigerant circuit 324. The second refrigerant circuit 325 is used to heat the air in the first air duct 311. The first refrigerant circuit 324 is used to heat the air in the second air duct 312 and the third air duct 313.

[0121] In some embodiments, the plurality of refrigerant circuits 32 include at least one second refrigerant circuit 325. The second refrigerant circuit 325 includes an evaporator 322 and a condenser 323. The second refrigerant circuit 325 corresponds to an air duct 31. The evaporator 322 and the condenser 323 of the second refrigerant circuit 325 are located in the corresponding air duct 31. The condenser 323 of the second refrigerant circuit 325 is connected in series with the condenser 323 of the first refrigerant circuit 324.

[0122] In this embodiment, the evaporator 322 of the second refrigerant circuit 325 is connected in parallel with the evaporator 322 of the first refrigerant circuit 324, and the condensers 323 of the multiple air ducts 31 are connected in series. This allows the refrigerant to flow to the compressor 321 through the evaporators 322 of the second refrigerant circuit 325 and the first refrigerant circuit 324, respectively, thereby increasing the flow rate of the refrigerant and improving the drying efficiency.

[0123] Specifically, Figure 7 A seventh embodiment of the refrigerant circuit 32 is shown. The third evaporator 3223 and the second evaporator 3222 are connected in series and in parallel with the first evaporator 3221. The first condenser 3231, the third condenser 3233 and the second condenser 3232 are connected in series with each other. The inlet 3211 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first evaporator 3221 and the third evaporator 3223 respectively. The outlet 3212 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first condenser 3231. The first condenser 3231 and the first evaporator 3221 are connected to form a second refrigerant circuit 325. The second condenser 3232 and the second evaporator 3222 are connected to form a first refrigerant circuit 324. The second refrigerant circuit 325 is used to heat the air in the first air duct 311. The first refrigerant circuit 324 is used to heat the air in the second air duct 312 and the third air duct 313.

[0124] In some embodiments, the plurality of processing cylinders 2 include a first processing cylinder 23, a second processing cylinder 24 and a third processing cylinder 25. The capacity of the first processing cylinder 23 and the capacity of the second processing cylinder 24 are both smaller than the capacity of the third processing cylinder 25. The first processing cylinder 23 and the second processing cylinder 24 correspond to at least two air ducts 31 corresponding to the first refrigerant circuit 324, respectively, and the third processing cylinder 25 corresponds to one air duct 31 corresponding to the second refrigerant circuit 325.

[0125] In this embodiment, when the third processing cylinder 25 is a large cylinder and the first processing cylinder 23 and the second processing cylinder 24 are small cylinders, the third processing cylinder 25 is connected through the air duct 31 corresponding to the second refrigerant circuit 325, and the two air ducts 31 corresponding to the first refrigerant circuit 324 are connected to the first processing cylinder 23 and the second processing cylinder 24 respectively. That is, the large cylinder has one refrigerant circuit 32, and the two small cylinders share one refrigerant circuit 32, thereby ensuring the drying efficiency of the large cylinder.

[0126] In some embodiments, the drying system 3 further includes a plurality of refrigerant circuits 32, which share a single compressor 321. Each refrigerant circuit 32 includes at least one first refrigerant circuit 324 and at least two second refrigerant circuits 325 connected in parallel with the first refrigerant circuit 324. Both the first and second refrigerant circuits 324 and 325 include an evaporator 322 and a condenser 323. Each first refrigerant circuit 324 corresponds to at least one air duct 31. The evaporator 322 and condenser 323 of each first refrigerant circuit 324 are located in a corresponding air duct 31. At least two evaporators 322 of at least two second refrigerant circuits 325 are connected in series, and the at least two evaporators 322 of each second refrigerant circuit 325 are respectively located in corresponding air ducts 31. Alternatively, at least two condensers 323 of at least two second refrigerant circuits 325 are connected in series, and the at least two condensers 322 of each second refrigerant circuit 325 are respectively located in corresponding air ducts 31.

[0127] This embodiment connects the evaporator 322 and condenser 323 of the first refrigerant circuit 324 in parallel with the evaporator 322 and condenser 323 of the second refrigerant circuit 325, making the first refrigerant circuit 324 and the second refrigerant circuit 325 independent of each other. This avoids the refrigerant in the second refrigerant circuit 325 affecting the temperature of the refrigerant in the first refrigerant circuit 324, ensuring that the refrigerant in the first refrigerant circuit 324 is only used to heat the air in the air duct 31 corresponding to the first refrigerant circuit 324, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0128] Figure 8 An eighth embodiment of the refrigerant circuit 32 is shown, in which the third evaporator 3223 is connected in series with the second evaporator 3222 and in parallel with the first evaporator 3221; the first condenser 3231, the third condenser 3233, and the second condenser 3232 are connected in parallel with each other; the inlet 3211 of the compressor 321 is connected to both the first evaporator 3221 and the third evaporator 3223; and the outlet 3212 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first condenser 3231, the third condenser 3233, and the second condenser 3232. 3231 is connected to the first evaporator 3221 to form a first refrigerant circuit 324. The second condenser 3232 is connected to the second evaporator 3222 to form a second refrigerant circuit 325. The third condenser 3233 is connected to the second evaporator 3222 to form another second refrigerant circuit 325. The first refrigerant circuit 324 is used to heat the air in the first air duct 311. One second refrigerant circuit 325 is used to heat the air in the second air duct 312. Another second refrigerant circuit 325 is used to heat the air in the third air duct 313.

[0129] Figure 9A ninth embodiment of the refrigerant circuit 32 is shown, in which the third condenser 3233 is connected in series with the second condenser 3232 and in parallel with the first condenser 3231; the first evaporator 3221, the third evaporator 3223, and the second evaporator 3222 are connected in parallel with each other; the inlet 3211 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first evaporator 3221, the third evaporator 3223, and the second evaporator 3222 respectively; and the outlet 3212 of the compressor 321 is connected to the first condenser 3231 and the third condenser 3233 respectively. 3231 is connected to the first evaporator 3221 to form a first refrigerant circuit 324. The second condenser 3232 is connected to the second evaporator 3222 to form a second refrigerant circuit 325. The second condenser 3232 is connected to the third evaporator 3223 to form another second refrigerant circuit 325. The first refrigerant circuit 324 is used to heat the air in the first air duct 311. One second refrigerant circuit 325 is used to heat the air in the second air duct 312. Another second refrigerant circuit 325 is used to heat the air in the third air duct 313.

[0130] In some embodiments, the plurality of processing cylinders 2 include a first processing cylinder 23, a second processing cylinder 24 and a third processing cylinder 25. The capacity of the first processing cylinder 23 and the capacity of the second processing cylinder 24 are both smaller than the capacity of the third processing cylinder 25. The third processing cylinder 25 corresponds to one air duct 31 corresponding to the first refrigerant circuit 324. The first processing cylinder 23 and the second processing cylinder 24 correspond to at least two air ducts 31 corresponding to the second refrigerant circuit 325, respectively.

[0131] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the third processing cylinder 25 is a large cylinder and the first processing cylinder 23 and the second processing cylinder 24 are small cylinders, by corresponding the third processing cylinder 25 with an air duct 31 corresponding to the first refrigerant circuit 324, the large cylinder has a refrigerant circuit 32 and the two small cylinders share a refrigerant circuit 32, thereby ensuring the drying efficiency of the large cylinder.

[0132] In some embodiments, the plurality of air ducts 31 include at least one first air duct 311 and at least one second air duct 312, the drying system 3 further includes an evaporator 322 and a condenser 323, the evaporator 322 and the condenser 323 are disposed in the first air duct 311, and the drying system 3 further includes a heater for heating the air in the second air duct 312.

[0133] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the air in at least one first air duct 311 is heated by a refrigerant circuit 32, and the air in at least one second air duct 312 is heated by a heater. By setting up the refrigerant circuit 32 and the heater, the drying efficiency of the multiple processing cylinders 2 is improved.

[0134] In some embodiments, the drying system 3 further includes a housing 33, the inner cavity of which is divided into a plurality of chambers 331. The plurality of chambers 331 are independent of each other and correspond to a plurality of air ducts 31. The air ducts 31 are connected to the corresponding chambers 331. The drying system 3 further includes an evaporator 322 and a condenser 323. The evaporator 322 and the condenser 323 are disposed in the air ducts 31. The evaporator 322 or the condenser 323 of the air duct 31 is disposed in the chamber 331 corresponding to the air duct 31.

[0135] The clothing processing device of this disclosure has multiple independent chambers 331, which can house multiple evaporators 322 or multiple condensers 323. This protects the evaporators 322 or condensers 323 from external forces and isolates them from the external environment, reducing the impact of the external environment on the evaporators 322 or condensers 323.

[0136] It should be noted that the chamber 331 can be part of the corresponding air duct 31; or, the air duct 31 has a connecting part, which is located between the air outlet end and the air inlet end of the air duct 31, and the chamber 331 is connected to the connecting part.

[0137] Specifically, such as Figure 10 As shown, when there are three condensers 323 and three evaporators 322, the inner cavity of the shell 33 is divided into three chambers 331. The three chambers 331 are arranged sequentially, and the partition is provided with through holes so that pipes connecting the evaporators 322 in two adjacent chambers 331 can pass through, or pipes connecting the two condensers 323 in two adjacent chambers 331 can pass through. The three chambers 331 correspond to three air ducts 31, and the air flowing through the three chambers 331 is not interconnected. The air in the first air duct 311 flows through the first chamber 331 and is dried by the first evaporator 3221 or heated by the first condenser 3231. The air in the third air duct 313 flows through the third chamber 331 and is dried by the third evaporator 3223 or heated by the third condenser 3233. The air in the second air duct 312 flows through the second chamber 331 and is dried by the second evaporator 3222 or heated by the second condenser 3232.

[0138] like Figure 11 As shown, the inner cavity of the casing 33 is divided into three chambers 331, which are arranged at intervals. A first connecting pipe 7 is provided between the three chambers 331, which is used to connect the evaporator 322 in two adjacent chambers 331 or the condenser 323 in two adjacent chambers 331. By accommodating the three chambers 331 at intervals, different arrangements of evaporators 322 or condensers 323 can be accommodated, improving flexibility.

[0139] In some embodiments, the evaporator 322 is a single unit and includes a plurality of evaporation sections corresponding to a plurality of air ducts 31, wherein the evaporation section of the air duct 31 is disposed in the chamber 331 corresponding to the air duct 31; or, the condenser 323 is a single unit and includes a plurality of condensation sections corresponding to a plurality of air ducts 31, wherein the condensation section of the air duct 31 is disposed in the chamber 331 corresponding to the air duct 31.

[0140] Specifically, each chamber 331 is provided with an evaporation section. By setting the evaporation sections in multiple chambers 331 as one evaporator 322, the air in the corresponding air duct 31 can be dried by multiple parts (multiple evaporation sections) of one evaporator 322, thereby reducing the number of evaporators 322 and improving assembly efficiency.

[0141] Specifically, each chamber 331 is provided with a condenser section. By setting the condenser sections in multiple chambers 331 as a condenser 323, the air in the corresponding air duct 31 can be heated by multiple parts (multiple condenser sections) of a condenser 323, thereby reducing the number of condensers 323 and improving assembly efficiency.

[0142] In some embodiments, the drying system 3 further includes a first housing 34 and a second housing 35. The inner cavity of the first housing 34 is divided into a plurality of first chambers 341, which are independent of each other and correspond to a plurality of air ducts 31. The inner cavity of the second housing 35 is divided into a plurality of second chambers 351, which are independent of each other and correspond to a plurality of air ducts 31. The air ducts 31 are connected to the corresponding first chambers 341 and the corresponding second chambers 351. The drying system 3 further includes an evaporator 322 and a condenser 323, which are disposed in the air ducts 31. The evaporator 322 of the air duct 31 is disposed in the first chamber 341 corresponding to the air duct 31, and the condenser 323 of the air duct 31 is disposed in the second chamber 351 corresponding to the air duct 31.

[0143] The clothing processing device of this embodiment can house multiple evaporators 322 through multiple independent first chambers 341, which protect the evaporators 322 from external forces and isolate them from the external environment, thereby reducing the impact of the external environment on the evaporators 322. It can also house multiple condensers 323 through multiple independent second chambers 351, which protect the condensers 323 from external forces and isolate them from the external environment, thereby reducing the impact of the external environment on the condensers 323.

[0144] It should be noted that the first chamber 341 and the second chamber 351 can be part of the corresponding air duct 31; or, the air duct 31 has a connecting part, which is located between the air outlet end of the air duct 31 and the air inlet end of the first air duct 311, and the first chamber 341 and the second chamber 351 are connected to the connecting part.

[0145] Specifically, such as Figure 12 As shown, the inner cavity of the first housing 34 is divided into three first chambers 341, which are arranged sequentially. Through holes are provided on the partitions to allow pipes connecting the evaporators 322 in adjacent chambers 331 to pass through. The three first chambers 341 correspond to three air ducts 31, and the air flowing through them is not interconnected. Air in the first air duct 311 flows through the first first chamber 341 and is dried by the first evaporator 3221; air in the third air duct 313 flows through the third first chamber 341 and is dried by the third evaporator 3223; and air in the second air duct 312 flows through the second first chamber 341 and is dried by the second evaporator 3222.

[0146] The second housing 35 is located downstream of the first housing 34 in the direction of airflow. The inner cavity of the second housing 35 is divided into three second chambers 351, which are arranged sequentially. Through holes are provided on the partitions to allow pipes connecting the condensers 323 in adjacent chambers 331 to pass through. The three second chambers 351 correspond to three air ducts 31, and the airflow through the three second chambers 351 is not interconnected. The airflow in the first air duct 311 flows through the first second chamber 351 and is heated by the first condenser 3231; the airflow in the third air duct 313 flows through the third second chamber 351 and is heated by the third condenser 3233; and the airflow in the second air duct 312 flows through the second second chamber 351 and is heated by the second condenser 3232.

[0147] like Figure 13 As shown, the inner cavity of the first housing 34 is divided into three first chambers 341, which are arranged at intervals. A second connecting pipe 8 is provided between the three first chambers 341 to connect the evaporators 322 in two adjacent first chambers 341. By arranging the three first chambers 341 at intervals, different arrangements of evaporators 322 can be accommodated, improving flexibility.

[0148] The inner cavity of the second housing 35 is divided into three second chambers 351, which are arranged at intervals. A second connecting pipe 8 is provided between the three second chambers 351 to connect the condensers 323 in two adjacent second chambers 351. The three second chambers 351 arranged at intervals can accommodate condensers 323 with different arrangements, thus improving flexibility.

[0149] In some embodiments, the evaporator 322 is a single unit and includes multiple evaporation sections corresponding to multiple air ducts 31. The evaporation sections of the air ducts 31 are disposed in the first chamber 341 corresponding to the air duct 31. The condenser 323 is a single unit and includes multiple condensation sections corresponding to multiple air ducts 31. The condensation sections of the air ducts 31 are disposed in the second chamber 351 corresponding to the air duct 31.

[0150] Specifically, each first chamber 341 contains an evaporator section, and each second chamber 351 contains a condenser section. By setting the evaporator sections in the multiple first chambers 341 as one evaporator 322 and the condenser sections in the multiple second chambers 351 as one condenser 323, the number of evaporators 322 and condensers 323 can be reduced and the assembly efficiency improved by drying the air in the corresponding air duct 31 through multiple parts (multiple evaporator sections) of one evaporator 322 and heating the air in the corresponding air duct 31 through multiple parts (multiple condenser sections) of one condenser 323.

[0151] In some embodiments, a plurality of air ducts 31 correspond one-to-one with a plurality of processing cylinders 2.

[0152] In the garment processing device of this embodiment, multiple air ducts 31 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple processing cylinders 2, so that each processing cylinder 2 corresponds to one air duct 31, thereby allowing the air in the multiple air ducts 31 to flow to the corresponding multiple processing cylinders 2 respectively, improving the drying efficiency of the processing cylinders 2.

[0153] In some embodiments, at least one air duct 31 corresponds to at least two processing cylinders 2.

[0154] In the clothing processing device of this embodiment, at least one air duct 31 corresponds to at least two processing cylinders 2, so that the air in the at least one air duct 31 can flow to at least two processing cylinders 2 respectively. This reduces the number of air ducts 31, while also reducing the number of evaporators 322 and condensers 323, thereby improving the structural compactness of the clothing processing device.

[0155] Specifically, at least one air duct 31 includes a main duct and at least two branch ducts, with each branch duct corresponding to at least two processing cylinders 2. Correspondingly, the air duct 31 has at least two outlet ends. The ends of the at least two branch ducts furthest from the main duct are the outlet ends of the air duct 31, and the ends of the main duct furthest from the at least two branch ducts are the inlet ends of the air duct 31. The air inlet ends of the air duct 31 can be set to one or two. Evaporators 322 and condensers 323 are located on the main duct. A switching device is installed on the main duct to deliver the air in the main duct to different branch ducts, and then to different processing cylinders 2.

[0156] For ease of description, we will take the case of air duct 31 corresponding to two processing cylinders 2, with two air inlets as an example for detailed description. The first air outlet of air duct 31 is connected to the air inlet 21 of the first processing cylinder 2, the first air inlet of air duct 31 is connected to the air outlet 22 of the first processing cylinder 2, the second air outlet of air duct 31 is connected to the air inlet 21 of the second processing cylinder 2, and the second air inlet of air duct 31 is connected to the air outlet 22 of the second processing cylinder 2.

[0157] In some embodiments, at least one air duct 31 corresponds to a single processing cylinder 2.

[0158] The garment processing device of this disclosure corresponds at least one air duct 31 to at least two processing cylinders 2, and at least one air duct 31 to a single processing cylinder 2, such that the single processing cylinder 2 corresponds to a single air duct 31, while at least two processing cylinders 2 share a single air duct 31. This ensures the drying effect of the single processing cylinder 2 while reducing the number of air ducts 31, thereby improving the structural compactness of the garment processing device.

[0159] In some embodiments, the drying system 3 further includes a heater for heating air within at least one air duct 31. By providing a heater within the air duct 31 and using it to heat the air within the air duct 31, the complexity of the garment handling equipment can be reduced, thereby lowering costs.

[0160] In some embodiments, there are multiple heaters, each corresponding to a multiple air duct 31. By setting multiple heaters, the air in the multiple air ducts 31 can be heated separately, enabling simultaneous drying of multiple processing cylinders 2 and improving drying efficiency.

[0161] In some embodiments, the drying system 3 further includes a plurality of fans 5 corresponding to a plurality of air ducts 31, the fans 5 being disposed in the corresponding air ducts 31.

[0162] In the garment processing apparatus of this embodiment, multiple fans 5 are used to deliver air from multiple air ducts 31 to multiple processing cylinders 2 respectively. By setting multiple fans 5, the circulation efficiency of air in the air ducts 31 is improved, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the multiple processing cylinders 2.

[0163] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fan 5 includes a first fan 51, a second fan 52, and a third fan 53. The first fan 51 is located in the first air duct 311 and downstream of the first condenser 3231, and is used to transport the air heated by the first condenser 3231 to the first processing cylinder 23. The second fan 52 is located in the second air duct 312 and downstream of the second condenser 3232, and is used to transport the air heated by the second condenser 3232 to the second processing cylinder 24. The third fan 53 is located in the third air duct 313 and downstream of the third condenser 3233, and is used to transport the air heated by the third condenser 3233 to the third processing cylinder 25.

[0164] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment further includes a plurality of filters 4 corresponding to a plurality of air ducts 31. The filters 4 are disposed in the corresponding air ducts 31 and adjacent to the air outlet 22 of the processing cylinder 2. The arrangement of the plurality of filters 4 can respectively intercept impurities in the garments in the plurality of processing cylinders 2, preventing impurities from entering the evaporator 322 and condenser 323, and ensuring the normal operation of the drying operation.

[0165] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multiple filters 4 include a first filter 41, a second filter 42 and a third filter 43. The first filter 41 is located in the first air duct 311, the second filter 42 is located in the second air duct 312, and the third filter 43 is located in the third air duct 313.

[0166] In some embodiments, the drying system 3 further includes a plurality of fans 5 corresponding to a plurality of air ducts 31, the fans 5 being disposed in the corresponding air ducts 31.

[0167] In the garment processing apparatus of this embodiment, multiple fans 5 are used to deliver air from multiple air ducts 31 to multiple processing cylinders 2 respectively. By setting multiple fans 5, the circulation efficiency of air in the air ducts 31 is improved, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the multiple processing cylinders 2.

[0168] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the fan 5 includes a first fan 51, a second fan 52, and a third fan 53. The first fan 51 is located in the first air duct 311 and downstream of the first condenser 3231, and is used to transport the air heated by the first condenser 3231 to the first processing cylinder 23. The second fan 52 is located in the second air duct 312 and downstream of the second condenser 3232, and is used to transport the air heated by the second condenser 3232 to the second processing cylinder 24. The third fan 53 is located in the third air duct 313 and downstream of the third condenser 3233, and is used to transport the air heated by the third condenser 3233 to the third processing cylinder 25.

[0169] In some embodiments, the plurality of processing cylinders 2 include a first processing cylinder 23, a second processing cylinder 24 and a third processing cylinder 25. The first processing cylinder 23 and the second processing cylinder 24 are disposed on the upper side of the third processing cylinder 25. The first processing cylinder 23 and the second processing cylinder 24 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The capacity of the first processing cylinder 23 and the capacity of the second processing cylinder 24 are both smaller than the capacity of the third processing cylinder 25.

[0170] Specifically, such as Figure 14 As shown, the first processing cylinder 23 and the second processing cylinder 24 are located on the left and right sides of the third processing cylinder 25, respectively. That is, the first processing cylinder 23 is located on the upper left of the third processing cylinder 25, and the second processing cylinder 24 is located on the upper right of the third processing cylinder 25. The arrangement of the three processing cylinders 2 allows users to process different clothes through the three different processing cylinders 2, and dry the clothes in the at least three processing cylinders 2 through at least three independent air ducts 31, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the three processing cylinders 2.

[0171] In some embodiments, the first processing cylinder 23 and the second processing cylinder 24 share a common air duct 31, and the third processing cylinder 25 corresponds to a single air duct 31.

[0172] In the clothing processing device of this embodiment, since the first processing drum 23 and the second processing drum 24 have smaller capacities and the third processing drum 25 has a larger capacity, by having the two small drums share a single air duct 31 and each large drum correspond to a separate air duct 31, the number of air ducts 31 can be reduced, saving space, and the drying effect of the large drum can be ensured.

[0173] In some embodiments, the first processing cylinder 23, the second processing cylinder 24, and the third processing cylinder 25 correspond one-to-one with the three air ducts 31.

[0174] The garment processing device of this disclosure improves the drying effect of the first processing cylinder 23, the second processing cylinder 24, and the third processing cylinder 25 by corresponding one-to-one with three air ducts 31, with the three air ducts 31 being independent of each other, so as to avoid mutual interference between the air entering the first processing cylinder 23, the second processing cylinder 24, and the third processing cylinder 25.

[0175] In some embodiments, one of the first processing cylinder 23 and the second processing cylinder 24 shares an air duct 31 with the third processing cylinder 25, and the other of the first processing cylinder 23 and the second processing cylinder 24 corresponds to a single air duct 31.

[0176] In the clothing processing device of this embodiment, since the first processing drum 23 and the second processing drum 24 have smaller capacities and the third processing drum 25 has a larger capacity, by sharing an air duct 31 with one of the two small drums and the large drum, the small drum can take advantage of the larger air volume of the air duct 31 corresponding to the large drum, so that the small drum can borrow part of the air from the air duct 31 corresponding to the large drum. This achieves drying of the small drum while reducing the number of air ducts 31 and improving space utilization.
