[0014] In some embodiments, the garment handling device includes a water inlet valve located behind the fan assembly;

[0015] The water pipe connects the water inlet valve and the detergent dispenser. The top structure of the fan assembly is partially recessed near one end of the air duct to form at least a portion of the clearance space. A portion of the water pipe extends in the front-rear direction and passes through the recessed portion of the fan assembly.

[0016] In some embodiments, the fan assembly includes a volute and an impeller disposed within the volute. The volute includes a body and a cover. The cover is disposed on the top side of the body.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a garment processing device 1000. The garment processing device 1000 includes a drum assembly 10, a base 20, a heat exchange assembly 30, a fan assembly 50, and a detergent box 60.

[0038] The tubular assembly 10 has a clothing processing chamber 10a for accommodating clothing to be processed. The specific construction of the tubular assembly 10 is not limited. Exemplarily, the tubular assembly 10 includes an outer tub and an inner tub, with the outer tub fitted over the inner tub. The outer tub is used to hold water, and the inner tub is used to hold clothing. In this embodiment, the inner tub holds water through the outer tub, and the inner tub can also be referred to as a perforated inner tub. In other embodiments, the inner tub holds water on its own, and can also be referred to as a non-perforated inner tub. The outer tub may or may not be provided outside the inner tub.

[0039] The base 20 is disposed above the tube assembly 10. Exemplarily, the garment handling device 1000 includes a housing 100, and both the base 20 and the tube assembly 10 are disposed within the housing 100.

[0040] For example, the housing 100 has sufficient structural strength to serve as a load-bearing component, providing vertical load-bearing capacity and resisting external impacts. The base 20 and the cylindrical assembly 10 are supported within the housing 100, and the housing 100 can at least bear the weight of the cylindrical assembly 10 and its load. Of course, in other embodiments, a support can also be provided within the housing 100 to support the weight of the cylindrical assembly 10 and its load.

[0041] The base 20 has an air duct that communicates with the garment processing chamber 10a. A heat exchange assembly 30 is disposed within the air duct and is used to dehumidify and heat the airflow passing through the air duct. A fan assembly 50 is disposed on the base 20 and is used to drive the airflow through the air duct.

[0042] For example, the tube assembly 10 has an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with the clothing processing chamber 10a, and the base 20 has a return air inlet and a supply air inlet communicating with the air duct. The return air inlet is connected to the air outlet, and the supply air inlet is connected to the air inlet.

[0043] The drying principle of the garment processing equipment 1000 is as follows: the hot and humid airflow in the garment processing chamber 10a flows from the air outlet to the air return port, and then enters the air duct. The heat exchange component 30 in the air duct first condenses and dehumidifies the hot and humid airflow, and then heats it. The heated dry hot airflow flows from the air supply port to the air inlet, and then flows to the garment processing chamber 10a. When the dry hot airflow exchanges heat with the clothes, it becomes hot and humid airflow. The hot and humid airflow flows from the air outlet to the air return port again. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous drying of the clothes.

[0044] The fan assembly 50 is located upstream of the heat exchange assembly 30 along the airflow direction. During operation, the fan assembly 50 generates a significant negative pressure at the return air inlet, allowing the hot and humid airflow in the garment processing chamber to enter the air duct more quickly and in larger quantities. Furthermore, the fan assembly 50 generates positive pressure on the air inlet side of the heat exchange assembly 30, providing a strong driving force for the airflow through the heat exchange assembly 30. This ensures the speed and flow rate of the airflow through the heat exchange assembly 30, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and enhancing the drying effect of the garments. In addition, because the fan assembly 50 is located upstream of the heat exchange assembly 30, the hot airflow heated by the heat exchange assembly 30 does not flow through the fan assembly 50, which also helps with heat dissipation and extends the service life of the fan assembly 50.

[0045] The detergent dispenser 60 is used to hold detergent needed for washing clothes. Exemplarily, the detergent dispenser 60 includes a container and a drawer, the drawer being retractable or extendable within the container. The user can pull out the drawer, add detergent to it, and then return the drawer to its original position. During the washing process, the detergent in the drawer dissolves in water and is delivered to the clothes handling chamber 10a. The form of detergent is not limited, and includes, but is not limited to, laundry liquid, fabric softener, laundry powder, and detergent salts.

[0046] The detergent dispenser 60 is located in front of the fan assembly 50. That is, the detergent dispenser 60 and the fan assembly 50 are arranged along the front-to-back direction of the garment handling equipment.

[0047] For example, the clothing processing device 1000 in this application embodiment can be used for both washing and drying clothes.

[0048] Please see Figure 2 The detergent dispenser 60 and the fan assembly 50 are located on the same side of the heat exchange assembly 30 in the left-right direction of the garment handling device 1000. Viewed from above in the top projection of the garment handling device 1000, the fan assembly 50 and the detergent dispenser 60 are located on the same side of the heat exchange assembly 30. That is, in embodiments where the detergent dispenser 60 is located on the left side of the heat exchange assembly 30, the fan assembly 50 is also located on the left side of the heat exchange assembly 30; in embodiments where the detergent dispenser 60 is located on the right side of the heat exchange assembly 30, the fan assembly 50 is also located on the right side of the heat exchange assembly 30.

[0049] In this embodiment, since the fan assembly 50 and the detergent box 60 are located on the same side of the heat exchange assembly 30, and the fan assembly 50 is located behind the detergent box 60, the fan assembly 50 can utilize the space directly behind the detergent box 60. This allows for a larger size of the fan assembly 50, resulting in a stronger driving force for the airflow through the heat exchange assembly 30. This ensures the speed and flow rate of the airflow through the heat exchange assembly 30, thus improving the drying effect of the clothes. Furthermore, this not only improves the space utilization within the clothing processing equipment 1000 but also optimizes the installation position of the fan assembly 50, making it more convenient to install it from above the housing 100.

[0050] In one embodiment, for example, the heat exchange assembly 30 includes an evaporator 31 and a condenser 32, and the garment processing device 1000 also includes a compressor and a refrigerant circuit. The condenser 32 and the evaporator 31 are connected in series in the refrigerant circuit. The garment processing device 1000 uses the principle of a heat pump to dry the garments. Sufficient space is provided within the air duct to house the evaporator 31 and the condenser 32.

[0051] The working principle of a heat pump system is as follows: The compressor draws in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, compresses it, and discharges it as high-pressure gas. The discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser 32, where it is cooled by the ambient air around the condenser 32 and condenses into a high-pressure liquid (simultaneously transferring heat to the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the condenser 32 is heated. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through a throttling device to reduce pressure, becoming a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture. This mixture enters the evaporator 31, where the liquid refrigerant evaporates and cools (simultaneously absorbing heat from the surrounding air). In other words, the air around the evaporator 31 is cooled. The refrigerant is then drawn back into the compressor and pressurized. This cycle repeats continuously, achieving heat exchange.

[0052] The heat exchange component 30 can also be in the form of a heating coil, etc., which uses the principle of condensation to dry clothes.

[0053] For some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The laundry processing device 1000 also includes a water pipe 70. A clearance space 70a is formed in the top structure of the base 20 and / or the top structure of the fan assembly 50. That is, the clearance space 70a can be formed by the top structure of the base 20, the top structure of the fan assembly 50, or both. The water pipe 70 passes through the clearance space 70a and is connected to the detergent dispenser 60 to provide water to the detergent dispenser 60. After the liquid water enters the detergent dispenser 60, it mixes with and dissolves the detergent to form a detergent mixture solution.

[0054] The structure of the clearance space 70a is not limited; for example, it can be a groove formed by a structural recess or a space connected by a hole penetrating the structure.

[0055] The clearance space 70a allows the water pipe 70 to pass through the top of the base 20 or the top of the fan assembly 50. The water pipe 70 does not necessarily have to be installed along the inside of the housing 100, making the wiring of the water pipe 70 more flexible.

[0056] In related technologies, due to the vibration of the garment processing equipment during operation, the water pipes are also vibrated by the vibration energy, making them prone to friction or compression with surrounding structures, thus affecting their lifespan. However, in this embodiment, the clearance space 70a ensures a large safe distance between the water pipe 70 and the surrounding structures. The vibration amplitude generated by the water pipe 70 makes it difficult for it to come into contact with the surrounding structures, thereby reducing friction on the water pipe 70, extending its lifespan, and improving the reliability of the garment processing equipment.

[0057] For example, a portion of the water pipe 70 passes through the clearance space 70a in the front-back direction of the garment handling device 1000, which helps to shorten the wiring length of the water pipe 70 and also reduces the size of the clearance space 70a, thereby reducing its encroachment on the internal structure of the base 20 or the fan assembly 50.

[0058] For example, in one embodiment, the water pipe 70 is positioned no higher than the highest point of the fan assembly 50. Thus, the water pipe 70 does not additionally occupy the clearance between the fan assembly 50 and components above it (e.g., the top cover of the housing 100). The clearance area reserved between the fan assembly 50 and the components above it does not require increasing the distance between them to accommodate the water pipe 70. In other words, the distance between the fan assembly 50 and the components above it can remain substantially unchanged while allowing the water pipe 70 to pass through. This allows the original dimensions of the housing 100 to remain unchanged, while designing components such as the fan assembly 50 to be as large as possible.

[0059] For example, in one embodiment, the water pipe 70 is positioned no higher than the highest point of the base 20. Thus, the water pipe 70 does not additionally occupy the clearance between the base 20 and components above it (e.g., the top cover of the housing 100). The clearance area reserved between the base 20 and the components above it does not require increasing the distance between them to accommodate the water pipe 70. In other words, the distance between the base 20 and the components above it can remain essentially unchanged while allowing the water pipe 70 to pass through. This allows the original dimensions of the housing 100 to remain unchanged, while designing the base 20 and other components to be as large as possible.

[0060] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 1000 also includes a control panel 90 and a cable 80. The control panel 90 is located on the front side of the base 20, the detergent dispenser 60 is arranged in the left-right direction with the control panel 90, and the cable 80 passes through the clearance space 70a and is electrically connected to the control panel 90.

[0061] The control panel includes at least a motherboard, which is used to control the operating parameters and status of the garment processing equipment 1000.

[0062] It should be noted that the control panel 90 transmits information to the corresponding mechanisms, such as the thermostat, motor, and solenoid valve, via the cable 80 to control and adjust these mechanisms. The cable 80 can also pass through the clearance space 70a, meaning that the cable 80 and water pipe 70 are arranged side-by-side in the clearance space 70a. This method not only reuses the clearance space 70a, but also ensures that the water pipe 70 and cable 80, being different types of wire harnesses, do not interfere with each other, further improving space utilization. It also makes the wiring of the garment processing equipment 1000, at least at its top, relatively simple and aesthetically pleasing, facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0063] For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The top structure of the base 20 and / or the top structure of the fan assembly 50 are provided with at least one cable organizer 70a-1. The cable organizer 70a-1 is located in the clearance space 70a and protrudes from the bottom wall of the clearance space 70a. The cable 80 and the water pipe 70 are located on opposite sides of the cable organizer 70a-1 in the left-right direction. The cable organizer 70a-1 separates the water pipe 70 and the cable 80, serves to organize the cables, and also facilitates the fixing of the water pipe 70 and the cable 80.

[0064] It should be noted that the number of cable organizers 70a-1 can be one or more. In embodiments with multiple cable organizers 70a-1, the multiple cable organizers 70a-1 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the clearance space 70a, for example, at intervals along the front-to-back direction. The form of the cable organizers 70a-1 is not limited, and can be, for example, a clip, a partition, etc.

[0065] For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The garment processing equipment 1000 includes a water inlet valve 40, which is located behind the fan assembly 50 to facilitate connection to an external water supply device, such as a tap.

[0066] Water pipe 70 connects water inlet valve 40 and detergent dispenser 60. A portion of the top structure of the fan assembly 50 near the air duct is recessed to form at least a portion of the clearance space 70a. A portion of the water pipe 70 extends in the front-rear direction and passes through the recessed portion of the fan assembly 50. That is, at least a portion of the clearance space 70a is formed by the fan assembly 50, and this portion is as close as possible to the air duct, located at the location corresponding to the gas outlet of the fan assembly 50, reducing the encroachment of the recessed portion on the internal space of the fan assembly 50 and minimizing the impact on gas flow.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fan assembly 50 includes a volute 51 and an impeller (not shown) disposed within the volute 51. The volute 51 includes a body 512 and a cover 511. The cover 511 is disposed on the top side of the body 512. The body 512 has a receiving cavity 512a and an air outlet passage that are interconnected. The impeller is disposed in the receiving cavity 512a.

[0068] At least a portion of the cover 511 located above the air outlet duct is lowered to form at least a portion of the clearance space 70a.

[0069] The impeller rotates to facilitate airflow. The volute 51 can be designed to be streamlined, and the outline of the casing 512 is the same as or similar to the Archimedean spiral, resulting in low airflow resistance. Airflow in the outlet channel can enter the air duct. In this embodiment, the fan assembly 50 is located upstream of the heat exchange assembly 30 along the airflow direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the fan assembly 50 can also be located downstream of the heat exchange assembly 30 along the airflow direction, with airflow in the air duct entering the fan assembly 50.

[0070] The cover 511 is located on the top side of the body 512. That is, the cover 511 is detachably installed on the body 512 along the height direction of the garment processing equipment 1000, and the assembly direction is the same as that of the top cover of the box 100, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of the fan assembly 50.

[0071] Exemplarily, the base 20 includes an upper cover and a lower cover, with the upper cover located on top of the lower cover, and the upper and lower covers together forming an air duct. In some embodiments, the shell cover 511 and the base 20 are separate structures. The shell cover 511 is connected to the base 20 as an independent component. Exemplarily, in another embodiment, the shell cover 511 and part of the base 20 are integral structures. That is, the shell cover 511 and part of the base 20, such as the upper cover, are processed by an integral molding process, which helps to simplify the process and improve the sealing of the air duct.

[0072] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The fan assembly 50 is located upstream of the heat exchange assembly 30 along the airflow direction, and the air outlet of the fan assembly 50 sends the airflow into the air duct. In a plane projection perpendicular to the height of the garment processing equipment 1000, the projection of the fan assembly 50 and the projection of the air outlet are located in two areas diagonally arranged in the housing 100.

[0073] It should be noted that you should refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 In a plane projection perpendicular to the height of the garment processing equipment, the projected outline of the housing 100 is divided into four regions by the vertical first reference line p1 and the second reference line p2. These four regions can also be understood as the four quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate system in mathematics. The first reference line p1 is parallel to the front-back direction of the garment processing equipment, and the second reference line p2 is parallel to the left-right direction of the garment processing equipment. The first reference line p1 and the second reference line p2 pass through the center of the housing 100.

[0074] The two diagonally arranged areas mentioned above refer to two areas located diagonally within the four quadrants of the top-view projection of the clothing processing area. For example, please refer to... Figure 2 The division of the center dashed line, taking the four quadrants as the first quadrant, second quadrant, third quadrant, and fourth quadrant in a clockwise direction as an example, the two areas set diagonally can be the first quadrant and the third quadrant, or the second quadrant and the fourth quadrant.

[0075] The fan assembly 50 is diagonally positioned opposite the air outlet, which increases the distance between the fan assembly 50 and the air outlet. This helps to increase the airflow path, making the heat exchange of the airflow more complete and improving the heat exchange effect of the airflow, thereby helping to improve the drying effect of clothes.

[0076] In some embodiments, the return air vent faces the bottom side of the base 20, and the fan assembly 50 is located above the return air vent. The aforementioned "fan assembly 50 is located above the return air vent" means that its position is higher than the return air vent, and in a plane projection perpendicular to the height direction, the projection of the fan assembly 50 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the return air vent; for example, the projection of the impeller of the fan assembly 50 overlaps with the projection of the return air vent.

[0077] In this embodiment, the fan assembly 50 is located above the return air inlet, which makes the fan assembly 50 located on the air outlet side of the return air inlet and helps to reduce the distance between the fan assembly 50 and the return air inlet along the height direction. This helps to increase the negative pressure generated at the return air inlet during the operation of the fan assembly 50, thereby making it more conducive for the fan assembly 50 to draw as much humid and hot airflow in the clothing processing chamber 10a as possible into the air duct.

[0078] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without creating contradictions.

[0079] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
