Detailed Implementation

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to Figures 1 to 9.

[0050] According to an embodiment of this application, a water supply assembly is provided, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, including a water tank 1, a water collection box 2, a water filter assembly 3, and a water pump 4. The water tank 1 is connected to a steam generator of a garment care machine, enabling the steam generator to use the water in the water tank 1 to evaporate the water into hot steam, which is then introduced into the inner tank 9 of the garment care machine.

[0051] The water collection box 2 is connected to the water receiving box 12 of the garment care machine. After the steam is drawn out from the inner tank 9 of the garment care machine and condensed, the condensed water is collected in the water receiving box 12 and then flows to the water collection box 2 for collection.

[0052] The water filter assembly 3 is connected to the water collection box 2, and the water filter assembly 3 is also connected to the water tank 1 through the water pump 4. In this way, after the water pump 4 is started, the water pump 4 can transport water from the water collection box 2 to the water collection box 2. At this time, the water in the water collection box 2 first flows through the filter assembly, and after being filtered and purified by the filter assembly, it flows into the water tank 1.

[0053] When using the garment care machine, add water to water tank 1. The water in water tank 1 supplies water to the steam generator, which evaporates the water into steam and introduces it into the inner tank 9 of the garment care machine to clean and care for the clothes hanging inside. After cleaning and care, the steam is drawn out and condensed into wastewater that drips into the water collection box 12 of the garment care machine. The wastewater in the water collection box 12 flows into the water collection box 2. Start the water pump 4 to pump the wastewater in the water collection box 2 into water tank 1, so that the wastewater in the water collection box 12 is first filtered into clean water by the filter assembly before flowing into water tank 1 to replenish it.

[0054] In this way, the water supply component realizes the recycling of water, which not only eliminates the need to pour out wastewater, but also continuously purifies wastewater into clean water to replenish water tank 1, thereby reducing the frequency of users replenishing water tank 1 and making it more convenient to use.

[0055] In some embodiments, a water level sensor is installed in the water collection box 2. The water level sensor is communicatively connected to the control module, and the control module is communicatively connected to the water pump 4. Thus, when the water level sensor detects that the water level in the water collection box 2 is higher than a preset value, it sends a signal to the control module, which then controls the water pump 4 to start, pumping water from the pump 4 into the water tank 1.

[0056] This prevents excessive water from entering the water collection box 2.

[0057] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 7, the water filtration assembly 3 includes a mounting base 31 and a filter element 32. The mounting base 31 is provided with an inlet port 311 and an outlet port 312. The filter element 32 has an inlet connector 321 and an outlet connector 322. The filter element 32 is detachably connected to the mounting base 31. When the filter element 32 is connected to the mounting base 31, the inlet connector 321 is inserted into the inlet port 311, and the outlet connector 322 is inserted into the outlet port 312. Thus, water entering through the inlet port 311 flows through the filter element 32, is filtered and purified, and then discharged from the outlet connector 322.

[0058] The water inlet 311 on the mounting base 31 is connected to the water collection box 2 through a pipe, and the water outlet 312 on the mounting base 31 is connected to the water pump 4 through a pipe. The water pump 4 is connected to the water tank 1 through a pipe.

[0059] Before using the garment care machine, connect the filter element 32 to the mounting base 31, and then add water to the water tank 1. The water in the water tank 1 supplies water to the steam generator, which evaporates the water into steam and introduces it into the inner tank 9 of the garment care machine to clean and care for the clothes hanging inside. After cleaning and care, the steam is drawn out and condensed into wastewater that drips into the water collection box 12 of the garment care machine. The wastewater in the water collection box 12 flows into the water collection box 2. Start the water pump 4 to pump the wastewater in the water collection box 2 into the water tank 1, so that the wastewater in the water collection box 12 is first filtered into clean water by the filter element 32 before flowing into the water tank 1 to replenish it.

[0060] When the filter element 32 fails after prolonged use, the old filter element 32 can be removed from the mounting base 31, and the new filter element 32 can be connected to the mounting base 31 to facilitate the replacement of the filter element 32 and ensure the water filtration and purification capabilities of the water filtration assembly 3.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the mounting base 31 has a plug-in hole 313. A water inlet 311 and a water outlet 312 are located at the bottom of the plug-in hole 313. The water inlet connector 321 and the water outlet connector 322 on the filter element 32 are both located on one end face of the filter element 32.

[0062] After inserting part of the filter element 32 into the insertion hole 313 on the mounting base 31, the filter element 32 is detachably connected to the mounting base 31. At this time, the water inlet connector 321 on the filter element 32 is inserted into the water inlet interface 311, and the water outlet connector 322 on the filter element 32 is inserted into the water outlet interface 312.

[0063] When filter element 32 fails after prolonged use, the old filter element 32 can be pulled out from the insertion hole 313 on the mounting base 31, and then the new filter element 32 can be partially inserted into the insertion hole 313 on the mounting base 31, so that the water inlet connector 321 of the new filter element 32 is inserted into the water inlet port 311 and the water outlet connector 322 is inserted into the water outlet port 312, thus completing the replacement of filter element 32. The insertion method makes replacing filter element 32 more convenient.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6, a positioning groove 314 is provided on the wall of the insertion hole 313, and the extending direction of the positioning groove 314 is consistent with the depth direction of the insertion hole 313. Correspondingly, a positioning slider is provided on the outer wall of the filter element 32. When the filter element 32 is inserted into the insertion hole 313, the positioning slider needs to be aligned with the positioning groove 314. Thus, after the filter element 32 is partially inserted into the insertion hole 313, it is positioned and slidably inserted into the positioning groove 314. This ensures that the filter element 32 is installed in place, thereby ensuring that the water inlet connector 321 of the filter element 32 is inserted into the water inlet interface 311 and the water outlet connector 322 is inserted into the water outlet interface 312, making it more convenient to replace the filter element 32.

[0065] When the filter element 32 is inserted into the insertion hole 313, the positioning slider is slidably inserted into the positioning groove 314. When replacing the filter element 32, the filter element 32 is pulled out of the insertion hole 313, and the positioning slider is also dislodged from the positioning groove 314 accordingly.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the water supply assembly further includes a receiving cavity 5 and a cover 6. The receiving cavity 5 has an opening. The opening is located in the extending direction of the insertion hole 313 on the mounting base 31. Thus, the filter element 32 can enter the receiving cavity 5 through the opening and partially insert into the insertion hole 313 on the mounting base 31, thereby engaging with the insertion hole 313. At this time, the portion of the filter element 32 outside the insertion hole 313 is located inside the receiving cavity 5. The opening and the filter element 32 are arranged sequentially along the insertion direction of the filter element 32. The filter element 32 can be pulled out from the insertion hole 313 and then removed from the receiving cavity 5 through the opening.

[0067] The cover 6 is connected to the accommodating cavity 5 and can switch between a first state and a second state. When the cover 6 is switched to the first state, it closes the opening; when the cover 6 is switched to the second state, it leaves the opening.

[0068] When installing filter element 32, switch the cover 6 to the first state so that the cover 6 leaves the opening of the receiving cavity 5. Then, insert the rear part of filter element 32 into the insertion hole 313 on the mounting base 31, so that the water inlet connector 321 of filter element 32 is inserted into the water inlet port 311 and the water outlet connector 322 is inserted into the water outlet port 312, thereby completing the installation of filter element 32.

[0069] After installation, switch the cover 6 to the second state, so that the cover 6 seals the opening of the receiving cavity 5. This seals the filter element 32 inside the receiving cavity 5, keeping the appearance clean while protecting the filter element 32.

[0070] When the filter element 32 needs to be replaced, switch the cover 6 to the first state so that the cover 6 leaves the opening of the receiving cavity 5. Then pull the filter element 32 out of the insertion hole 313 on the mounting base 31 and remove the filter element 32 from the opening of the receiving cavity 5.

[0071] Then, the new filter element 32 is inserted into the receiving cavity 5 through the opening and then inserted into the insertion hole 313 of the mounting base 31. Then the cover 6 is switched to the second state, so that the cover 6 closes the opening of the receiving cavity 5, thus completing the replacement of the filter element 32.

[0072] This not only effectively protects filter element 32 but also maintains a clean appearance.

[0073] The cap 6 is rotatably connected to the side of the opening of the accommodating cavity 5, so that the cap 6 can flip between a first state and a second state. When the cap 6 is flipped to the first state, it closes the opening, and when the cap 6 is flipped to the second state, it leaves the opening.

[0074] The cap 6 and the accommodating cavity 5 should be provided with corresponding snap-fit ​​parts so that when the cap 6 is flipped to the first state, the cap 6 and the accommodating cavity 5 can be snapped together and fixed.

[0075] Water tank 1 can be installed on water tank bracket 8, and accommodating cavity 5 is set on water tank bracket 8.

[0076] In a further embodiment, as shown in FIG6, the cover 6 is provided with an abutment portion 61. After the filter element 32 is inserted into the insertion hole 313 on the mounting base 31, the cover 6 is switched to the second state to close the opening of the accommodating cavity 5. At this time, the abutment portion 61 on the cover 6 abuts against the side of the filter element 32 away from the mounting base 31, thereby preventing the filter element 32 from detaching from the insertion hole 313 on the mounting base 31, making the filter element 32 more stable. This prevents the filter element 32 from detaching due to excessive water pressure and becoming inoperable.

[0077] The abutting part 61 can be a protrusion or rib provided on the cover 6.

[0078] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 8, the water supply assembly also includes a filter element 7. A collection port 121 is provided on the water collection box 2, and the collection port 121 communicates with the water receiving box 12. The filter element 7 is positioned at the collection port 121 and covers it, so that when water flows from the water receiving box 12 to the collection port 121, it must first be filtered by the filter element 7 to prevent impurities in the water from entering the water collection box 2. Thus, before the water is purified by the filter element 32, the filter element 7 performs a pre-filtration, increasing the service life of the filter element 32 and preventing excessive impurities in the water from clogging the filter element 32.

[0079] The filter element 7 can be a filter screen.

[0080] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 and 8, a insertion groove 122 is provided on the side wall of the collection port 121. The filter element 7 is detachably inserted into the insertion groove 122, so that the filter element 7 seals the collection port 121. When the filter element 7 is pulled out from the insertion groove 122, the filter element 7 leaves the collection port 121, at which point the filter screen can be cleaned or replaced.

[0081] In some embodiments, a guide groove 51 is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 5, such that the guide groove 51 is aligned with the insertion slot 122. This allows the filter screen portion to pass through the guide groove 51 and be inserted into the insertion slot 122. When the filter screen needs to be replaced or maintained, the portion of the filter screen outside the guide groove 51 is held, and the filter screen can be pulled out of the insertion slot 122 and away from the guide groove 51, after which the filter screen can be replaced or maintained.

[0082] According to an embodiment of this application, another aspect provides a garment care machine, as shown in Figures 1 and 9, which includes any of the above-mentioned water supply components, as well as an inner tank 9, a steam generator, a return air chamber 10, an evaporator 11, and a water receiving box 12.

[0083] The inner wall of the inner liner 9 is provided with an air inlet, an air outlet, and a steam inlet. A steam generator is connected to the water tank 1 and the steam inlet. The return air chamber 10 is provided with a return air inlet 101, the air outlet is connected to the return air inlet 101, and the water collection box 12 is connected to the return air chamber 10. The steam generator can be a boiler, and the evaporator 11 is connected to the return air chamber 10.

[0084] After the clothes are placed in the inner liner 9, the steam generator is started. The water in the water tank 1 supplies water to the steam generator. The steam generator evaporates the water into hot steam. The hot steam is discharged into the inner liner 9 from the steam inlet to clean and care for the clothes. After the care is completed, airflow is introduced into the inner liner 9 from the air inlet. The hot steam is mixed in the airflow and discharged into the return air chamber 10 through the air outlet. At this time, the evaporator 11 exchanges heat with the return air chamber 10 to cool the return air chamber 10. The hot steam in the return air chamber 10 condenses into wastewater and drips into the water collection box 12. The water in the water collection box 12 flows into the water collection box 2.

[0085] Start water pump 4 to pump wastewater from water collection box 2 to water tank 1, so that the wastewater in water collection box 12 is first filtered into clean water by the filter assembly and then flows into water tank 1 to replenish it.

[0086] In this way, water can be recycled and reused. Not only is there no need to pour out wastewater, but the wastewater can also be continuously purified into clean water and added to water tank 1, thereby reducing the frequency of users adding water to water tank 1 and making it more convenient to use.

[0087] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the garment care machine further includes an air inlet chamber 13, a circulating fan, and a condenser 14. The air inlet chamber 13 is provided with an exhaust port 131, which communicates with the air inlet. The circulating fan is rotatably disposed within the air inlet chamber 13 and is connected to a drive device. When the drive device drives the circulating fan to rotate, the circulating fan guides the airflow within the air inlet chamber 13 to the air inlet.

[0088] The compressor 15, condenser 14, throttling device and evaporator 11 are connected to form a refrigeration system. The condenser 14 is connected to the air inlet cavity 13.

[0089] After the hot steam has finished drying the clothes in the inner liner 9, the drive device drives the circulating fan to rotate, while the condenser 14 heats the air in the air inlet chamber 13. This allows the hot airflow to enter the inner liner 9 from the air inlet, drying the clothes inside. The hot steam mixed in the hot airflow is discharged through the air outlet into the return air chamber 10. At this time, the evaporator 11 exchanges heat with the return air chamber 10 to cool it, causing the hot steam in the return air chamber 10 to condense into wastewater and drip into the water collection box 12. The water in the water collection box 12 flows into the water collection box 2.

[0090] In this way, the air is heated by the condenser 14 in the cooling system to dry the clothes.

[0091] Although embodiments of this application have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
