Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing processing technology, specifically to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous progress of society and the economy, people have higher requirements for the washing quality and hygiene safety of clothes. Therefore, in recent years, washing or drying different types of clothes separately has become a trend. In related technologies, clothing processing equipment such as drum washing machines has multiple processing drums to process different types of clothes separately. However, the air inlet and outlet of the processing drums are not designed properly, resulting in an unreasonable layout of the exhaust pipes and other components that cooperate with the air inlet and outlet, leading to low space utilization within the processing equipment and a large overall size. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of this utility model propose a garment processing device. The components within this garment processing device are arranged compactly, which helps to improve the space utilization within the machine casing and reduce the overall size of the machine.

[0005] The garment processing device of this utility model embodiment includes:

[0006] chassis;

[0007] At least one first processing cylinder is disposed inside the housing, and the first processing cylinder is provided with a first air inlet and a first air outlet;

[0008] At least one first air outlet duct is connected to a first air outlet and extends along at least one of the outlines of the front cover of the first processing cylinder, the first door seal, and the first clothing loading / unloading opening.

[0009] The first air outlet duct of the garment processing device of this embodiment is adjacent to at least one of the outlines of the front cover, the first door seal, and the first garment loading / unloading port of the first processing cylinder. The front cover, the first door seal, and the first garment loading / unloading port of the first processing cylinder are all located at the front end of the first processing cylinder, and there is a receiving space at the front cover, the first door seal, and the first garment loading / unloading port. This allows the first air outlet duct to utilize the space at the front end of the first processing cylinder within the housing. Consequently, the components within the garment processing device of this embodiment are arranged compactly, which is beneficial for improving the space utilization rate within the housing and reducing the overall size of the machine.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first air outlet is located at the front end of the first processing cylinder and on the upper side of the axis of the first processing cylinder;

[0011] The garment processing equipment further includes a heat pump system and at least one first air duct. The first air duct includes at least one first air outlet pipe and an air duct pipe. The first air outlet pipe extends downward from the first air outlet, and the outlet of the first air outlet pipe is connected to the inlet of the air duct pipe. The outlet of the air duct pipe is connected to the first air inlet. At least a portion of the heat pump system is located within the air duct pipe. The first air outlet pipe extends downward from the first air outlet and is connected to the air duct pipe, thereby allowing the first air duct to utilize the space below and behind the first processing cylinder without occupying the space at the top of the casing, thus improving the structural compactness of the component arrangement within the casing.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first air outlet is located on the first door seal, and the first air outlet duct extends downward along the first door seal. The first air outlet duct is close to the front end of the first processing cylinder, thereby enabling the garment processing equipment to have a compact layout and reduce its footprint.

[0013] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first air outlet duct is abutted against the first door seal. This allows for a closer distance between the first air outlet duct and the first door seal, resulting in a compact component layout and enabling the first door seal to support the first air outlet duct.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first air outlet is located on the upper left side of the axis of the first processing cylinder, and at least a portion of the first air outlet pipe is located on the left side of the axis of the first processing cylinder.

[0015] Alternatively, the first air outlet is located on the upper right side of the axis of the first processing cylinder, and at least a portion of the first air outlet pipe is located on the right side of the axis of the first processing cylinder. The first air outlet pipe and the first air outlet are located on the same side of the axis of the first processing cylinder in the left-right direction. This allows the top of the first air outlet pipe to be located on the upper side of the first processing cylinder, reducing the height of the top of the first air outlet pipe and reducing the space occupied by the first air outlet pipe in the vertical direction, making the layout of the clothing processing equipment more compact.

[0016] In some embodiments, the first air outlet duct includes a first arc-shaped section and a first straight section. The first arc-shaped section extends downward from the first air outlet along an arc-shaped axis, and the first straight section extends vertically. The lower opening of the first arc-shaped section is connected to the upper opening of the first straight section. This results in a compact layout of the first air outlet duct and the first treatment cylinder, reducing the space occupied.

[0017] In some embodiments, the air duct includes a first air duct and a second air duct, with at least a portion of the first air duct located below the first processing cylinder and at least a portion of the second air duct located behind the first processing cylinder. The first air outlet duct is connected to the first air duct, and the first air duct and the second air duct are connected. The first and second air ducts can utilize the space below and behind the first processing cylinder, without occupying space at the top of the housing, thereby improving the structural compactness of the component arrangement within the housing.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first air inlet is located at the top of the first processing cylinder and adjacent to the rear end of the first processing cylinder, and the outlet of the second air duct is connected to the first air inlet. This allows the first air inlet to be located close to the heat pump system, reducing the distance between the heat pump system and the first air inlet, thereby reducing heat loss from the airflow. It also prevents water from seeping into the second air duct from the first air inlet located at the top of the first processing cylinder.

[0019] In some embodiments, the heat pump system includes a first evaporator and a first condenser, the first evaporator being located in a first air duct and / or a second air duct, and the first condenser being located in the first air duct and / or the second air duct, the first condenser being disposed downstream of the first evaporator on the first air duct. The heat pump system can utilize the space under or behind the first processing cylinder, thereby allowing for a compact layout of the clothing processing equipment.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first processing cylinder includes a first outer cylinder, the front end face of the first outer cylinder forming the front cover of the first processing cylinder, and the first door seal is connected to the first outer cylinder;

[0021] The first air inlet is located on the first outer cylinder;

[0022] The opening of the first air outlet is tilted upwards. This prevents water from seeping out of the first air outlet, and the tilted first air outlet facilitates connection to the first air outlet duct.

[0023] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a second processing cylinder disposed within the housing, wherein the first processing cylinder is located directly above or to the side above the second processing cylinder;

[0024] The second processing cylinder is provided with a second air inlet and a second air outlet. The second air outlet is located at the front end of the second processing cylinder and above its axis. The clothing processing equipment includes multiple processing cylinders, allowing different garments or other items to be processed to be categorized and placed into the first and second processing cylinders for processing.

[0025] In some embodiments, there are two first processing tubes, one of which is located on the upper left side of the second processing tube, and the other of which is located on the upper right side of the second processing tube. The two first processing tubes are arranged side-by-side in a horizontal direction, allowing different garments or other items to be processed to be categorized and placed into the left first processing tube, the right first processing tube, and the second processing tube for processing. Furthermore, the above-described arrangement of the three processing tubes does not occupy a large space in the height direction of the casing, thus reducing the dimensions of the casing in both the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0026] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the duct is located vertically between the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder. This allows the duct to utilize the space between the first and second processing cylinders, thereby improving space utilization within the housing.

[0027] In some embodiments, the heat pump system of the clothing processing equipment includes two first air ducts, which are respectively connected to the first air outlet of the first processing cylinder on the left and the first air outlet of the first processing cylinder on the right.

[0028] Alternatively, the heat pump system of the garment processing equipment includes a first air duct that communicates with the first air outlet of the first processing drum on the left and the first air outlet of the first processing drum on the right. Each first processing drum has a corresponding first air duct to improve drying efficiency. The two first processing drums share a single air duct, thereby reducing space requirements.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first air outlet of the first processing cylinder on the left is located on the upper left side of the axis of the first processing cylinder on the left, and the first air outlet of the first processing cylinder on the right is located on the upper right side of the axis of the first processing cylinder on the right.

[0030] The first air outlet duct connected to the first processing cylinder on the left is located near the left side of the housing, and the first air outlet duct connected to the first processing cylinder on the right is located near the right side of the housing. The first air outlet is located on the side of the first processing cylinder adjacent to the housing, and the first air outlet duct is located on the side of the first processing cylinder adjacent to the housing. This allows for the utilization of the space between the first processing cylinder and the housing, thereby improving the space utilization rate within the housing.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first air duct further includes a second air outlet, and the second air outlet, the second air outlet pipe, the air duct pipe, and the second air inlet are connected in sequence. Both the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder can be supplied with air using the air duct pipe, thereby saving costs and space.

[0032] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a second air duct, the two ends of which are connected to a second air inlet and a second air outlet, respectively, and at least a portion of the heat pump system is located within the second air duct. The second air duct is designed to cooperate with the second processing drum; a separate air duct facilitates the drying of the garments within the second processing drum, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0033] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the second air duct is located vertically between the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder. This allows the second air duct to utilize the space between the first and second processing cylinders, improving space utilization within the housing.

[0034] In some embodiments, the heat pump system includes a second evaporator and a second condenser located in the second air duct, wherein the second condenser is disposed downstream of the second evaporator in the second air duct;

[0035] The second evaporator is located between the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder in the vertical direction, and / or the second evaporator is located on the rear side of the first processing cylinder;

[0036] The second condenser is located vertically between the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder, and / or the second condenser is located behind the first processing cylinder. The second evaporator and the second condenser can utilize the space between the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder, or behind the first processing cylinder, thereby allowing for flexible placement of the second evaporator and the second condenser and improving the space utilization within the casing.

[0037] In some embodiments, the second processing cylinder includes a second outer cylinder and a second door seal connected to the second outer cylinder;

[0038] The second air inlet is located at the rear end of the second outer cylinder, and the second air outlet is located on the second door seal. This increases the airflow path in the front-to-back direction within the second processing cylinder, thereby improving the drying effect. Attached Figure Description

[0051] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0052] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 5 This invention describes a garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the clothing processing device of this embodiment includes: a housing 3, at least one first processing cylinder 1, and at least one first air outlet duct 41. The first processing cylinder 1 is disposed inside the housing 3, and the first processing cylinder 1 is provided with a first air inlet 11 and a first air outlet 12. The high-temperature airflow in the air duct of the clothing processing device of this embodiment enters the first processing cylinder 1 through the first air inlet 11, and the airflow in the first processing cylinder 1 can be discharged into the air duct through the first air outlet 12. During this process, the airflow dries the clothes in the first processing cylinder 1.

[0054] The first air outlet duct 41 is connected to the first air outlet 12, and the first air outlet duct 41 extends along at least one of the outlines of the front cover 16, the first door seal 14, and the first clothing access opening 15 of the first processing cylinder 1. Specifically, the first air outlet duct 41 extends along one or more of the outlines of the front cover 16, the first door seal 14, and the first clothing access opening 15 of the first processing cylinder 1. The shape of the first air outlet duct 41 is adapted to at least one of the outlines of the front cover 16, the first door seal 14, and the first clothing access opening 15 of the first processing cylinder 1, so that the first air outlet duct 41 extends along at least one of the outlines of the front cover 16, the first door seal 14, and the first clothing access opening 15 of the first processing cylinder 1, thereby making the first air outlet duct 41 adjacent to at least one of the front cover 16, the first door seal 14, and the first clothing access opening 15 of the first processing cylinder 1.

[0055] The front cover 16, the first door seal 14, and the first clothing loading / unloading port 15 of the first processing cylinder 1 are all located at the front end of the first processing cylinder 1, and the outer diameters of the front cover 16, the first door seal 14, and the first clothing loading / unloading port 15 are all smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the first processing cylinder 1, thus providing accommodating space at the front cover 16, the first door seal 14, and the first clothing loading / unloading port 15 of the first processing cylinder 1. The first air outlet duct 41 extends along the structure at the front end of the first processing cylinder 1, so that the first air outlet duct 41 is adjacent to the front end of the first processing cylinder 1, thereby allowing the first air outlet duct 41 to utilize the space at the front end of the first processing cylinder 1 within the housing 3. This results in a compact arrangement of components within the clothing processing equipment of this embodiment, which is beneficial for improving the space utilization rate within the housing and reducing the overall size of the machine.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first air outlet 12 is located at the front end of the first processing cylinder 1 and above the axis of the first processing cylinder 1. The first air outlet 12 is located above the axis of the first processing cylinder 1 in the vertical direction, which can prevent water in the first processing cylinder 1 from seeping into the air duct through the first air outlet 12.

[0057] Understandably, the heat pump system is generally located closer to the first air inlet 11 and farther from the first air outlet 12. This shortens the distance between the first air inlet 11 and the heat pump system, resulting in a shorter air duct between them and a shorter flow path for the heated airflow within the duct. Consequently, heat loss from the airflow entering the first processing cylinder 1 is minimized, leading to better drying performance. Therefore, the first air outlet 12 is located at the front end of the first processing cylinder 1, facilitating the placement of the first air inlet 11 near the rear end of the first processing cylinder 1. This allows at least a portion of the heat pump system to be located on the rear side of the first processing cylinder 1, utilizing the space there. In this case, the heat pump system at least partially utilizes the space behind the first processing cylinder 1 and can be positioned close to the first air inlet 11, improving thermal efficiency and / or drying effect. This results in a compact arrangement of components within the garment processing equipment, improving space utilization within the casing and reducing the overall size of the machine. For example, the first processing cylinder 1 is located at the top of the casing 3.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the garment processing equipment also includes a heat pump system 6 and at least one first air duct 4, the first air duct 4 including at least one first air outlet duct 41 and an air duct 42. The first air outlet duct 41 extends downward from the first air outlet 12, the outlet of the first air outlet duct 41 is connected to the inlet of the air duct 42, the outlet of the air duct 42 is connected to the first air inlet 11, and at least a portion of the heat pump system 6 is located in the air duct 42.

[0059] Specifically, the airflow discharged from the first processing cylinder 1 can be discharged from the first air outlet 12, then passed through the first air outlet pipe 41 into the air duct pipe 42 and heated by the heat pump system 6, and then passed through the first air inlet 11 back into the first processing cylinder 1 to dry the clothes in the first processing cylinder 1.

[0060] The first air outlet duct 41 extends downward from the first air outlet 12 and is connected to the air duct 42, so that the first air duct 4 (air duct 42) can utilize the space on the lower side and the rear side of the first processing cylinder 1 without occupying the space on the top of the housing 3, so as to improve the structural compactness of the component arrangement inside the housing 3 and reduce the overall size of the machine.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first processing tube 1 includes a first outer tube 13, and the front-facing end face of the first outer tube 13 forms the front cover 16 of the first processing tube 1. A first door seal 14 is located on the front side of the front cover 16, and the first door seal 14 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the front end of the first outer tube 13. The outline of the first garment loading / unloading opening 15 is the outer surface of the front end structure of the first processing tube 1 that forms the first garment loading / unloading opening 15. For example, the outline of the first garment loading / unloading opening 15 is the outline of the front opening of the first outer tube 13.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first air outlet 12 is formed on the first door seal 14, and the first air outlet duct 41 extends downward along the first door seal 14. Compared to having the first air outlet 12 formed on the first outer cylinder 13, having the first air outlet 12 formed on the first door seal 14 increases the flow path of the airflow in the front-to-back direction inside the first processing cylinder 1, making it easier for the drying airflow to pass through the clothes inside the first outer cylinder 13, thereby improving the drying effect. The first air outlet duct 41 extends downward along the outer peripheral surface of the first door seal 14 to make the first processing cylinder 1 have a compact layout.

[0063] Optionally, at least a portion of the first air outlet duct 41 is fitted to the first door seal 14, thereby allowing at least a portion of the first air outlet duct 41 to connect with the first door seal 14, so that the first air outlet duct 41 and the first door seal 14 are close together, thereby making the component layout compact and allowing the first door seal 14 to support the first air outlet duct 4.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first air outlet duct 41 includes a first arc-shaped section 411 and a first straight section 412. The first arc-shaped section 411 extends downward from the first air outlet 12 along an arc-shaped axis, and the first straight section 412 extends vertically. The lower opening of the first arc-shaped section 411 is connected to the upper opening of the first straight section 412. Specifically, the first arc-shaped section 411 extends downward along the first door seal 14, and the shape of the first arc-shaped section 411 is adapted to the outer periphery of the first door seal 14 so that the first arc-shaped section 411 fits snugly against the first door seal 14, thereby making the layout of the first air outlet duct 41 and the first treatment cylinder 1 compact and reducing the space occupied. For example, the first arc-shaped section 411 is an arc-shaped section.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first air outlet 12 is located on the upper left side of the axis of the first processing cylinder 1, and at least a portion of the first air outlet duct 41 is located on the left side of the axis of the first processing cylinder 1. Alternatively, the first air outlet 12 is located on the upper right side of the axis of the first processing cylinder 1, and at least a portion of the first air outlet duct 41 is located on the right side of the axis of the first processing cylinder 1. The first air outlet 12 is located on the upper side of the first processing cylinder 1, and the first air outlet duct 41 and the first air outlet 12 are located on the same side of the axis of the first processing cylinder 1 in the left-right direction. This allows the top of the first air outlet duct 41 to be located on the upper side of the first processing cylinder 1, reducing the height of the top of the first air outlet duct 41 and reducing the space occupied by the first air outlet duct 41 in the vertical direction, making the layout of the clothing processing equipment compact.

[0066] In some embodiments, the opening of the first air outlet 12 is tilted upward, thereby preventing water from seeping out of the first air outlet 12, and the tilted first air outlet 12 is convenient to be connected to the first air outlet pipe 41.

[0067] like Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the air duct 42 includes a first air duct 421 and a second air duct 422. At least a portion of the first air duct 421 is located below the first processing cylinder 1, and at least a portion of the second air duct 422 is located behind the first processing cylinder 1. A first air outlet duct 41 is connected to the first air duct 421, and the first air duct 421 and the second air duct 422 are connected. The airflow discharged from the first processing cylinder 1 can pass sequentially through the first air outlet duct 41, the first air duct 421, and the second air duct 422. The first air duct 421 and the second air duct 422 utilize the spaces below and behind the first processing cylinder 1, respectively, without occupying the space at the top of the housing 3, thereby improving the structural compactness of the component arrangement within the housing. For example, the first air duct 421 extends in a front-to-back direction, and at least a portion of the second air duct 422 extends in a vertical direction. The first air outlet duct 41, the first air duct 421, and the second air duct 422 are integrally formed, which facilitates the installation of the air duct 42 and makes the air duct 42 less prone to water leakage.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first air inlet 11 is located at the top of the first processing cylinder 1 and adjacent to the rear end of the first processing cylinder 1, and the outlet of the second air duct 422 is connected to the first air inlet 11. This allows the first air inlet 11 to be located close to the heat pump system 6, reducing the distance between the heat pump system 6 and the first air inlet 11, thereby reducing heat loss from the airflow. It also prevents water from seeping into the second air duct 422 from the first air inlet 11 located at the top of the first processing cylinder 1.

[0069] Specifically, the first air inlet 11 is located at the top of the first outer cylinder 13 and near the rear end of the first processing cylinder 1. A portion of the second air duct 422 is located on the upper side of the first outer cylinder 13 and connected to the first air inlet 11. This allows the first air inlet 11 to be closer to the heat pump system 6 for drying the clothes inside the first processing cylinder 1.

[0070] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the heat pump system 6 includes a first evaporator 61 and a first condenser 62, with the first condenser 62 located downstream of the first evaporator 61 in the first air duct 4. Specifically, in the flow direction of the airflow within the first air duct 4, the airflow first passes through the first evaporator 61 and then through the first condenser 62. The humid airflow in the first processing cylinder 1 can be condensed by the first evaporator 61 to remove condensate from the airflow, and then it can enter the first condenser 62 for heating to increase the temperature of the airflow. That is, the humid airflow in the first processing cylinder 1 can be converted into dry hot airflow by the first evaporator 61 and the first condenser 62 to dry the clothes in the first processing cylinder 1.

[0071] The first evaporator 61 is located in the first air duct 421 and / or the second air duct 422. The first condenser 62 is located in the first air duct 421 and / or the second air duct 422. Specifically, the first evaporator 61 and the first condenser 62 are located in at least one of the first air duct 421 and the second air duct 422. This allows the heat pump system 6 to utilize the space below and / or behind the first processing cylinder 1, thereby enabling a compact layout of the clothing processing equipment. For example, a first fan 65 is located at the top of the second air duct 422, downstream of the first condenser 62.

[0072] For example, the first evaporator 61 and the first condenser 62 are located in the first air duct 421; or, the first evaporator 61 and the first condenser 62 are located in the second air duct 422; or, the first evaporator 61 is located in the first air duct 421 and the first condenser 62 is located in the second air duct 422.

[0073] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a second processing cylinder 2, which is disposed within the housing 3, with the first processing cylinder 1 located directly above or to the side of the second processing cylinder 2. The second processing cylinder 2 has a second air inlet 21 and a second air outlet 22, with the second air outlet 22 located at the front end of the second processing cylinder 2 and above its axis. Specifically, the garment processing device includes multiple processing cylinders, allowing different garments or other items to be processed to be categorized and placed into the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2 for processing. For example, the outer diameter of the first processing cylinder 1 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second processing cylinder 2, and at least a portion of the heat pump system 6 is located behind the first processing cylinder 1.

[0074] The second air outlet 22 is located at the front end of the second processing cylinder 2, which allows for more flexible placement of the second air inlet 21. This allows the second air inlet 21 to be adjacent to the rear heat pump system 6, resulting in a shorter air duct between the second air inlet 21 and the heat pump system 6, and consequently, a shorter flow path for the heated airflow within the air duct. This minimizes heat loss from the airflow entering the second processing cylinder 2, leading to better drying performance.

[0075] In some embodiments, the second processing cylinder 2 includes a second outer cylinder 23 and a second door seal 24 connected to the second outer cylinder 23. A second air inlet 21 is located at the rear end of the second outer cylinder 23, and a second air outlet 22 is located on the second door seal 24. Specifically, compared to having the second air outlet 22 located on the second outer cylinder 23, having the second air outlet 22 located on the second door seal 24 increases the flow path of the airflow inside the second processing cylinder 2 in the front-to-back direction, facilitating the drying airflow to pass through the clothes inside the second outer cylinder 23, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0076] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, there are two first processing cylinders 1, one of which is located on the upper left side of the second processing cylinder 2, and the other is located on the upper right side of the second processing cylinder 2. Specifically, the two first processing cylinders 1 include a left first processing cylinder 1 and a right first processing cylinder 1, which are horizontally spaced apart and located on the upper left and upper right sides of the second processing cylinder 2, respectively. This allows different garments or other items to be processed to be categorized and placed into the left first processing cylinder 1, the right first processing cylinder 1, and the second processing cylinder 2 for processing. Furthermore, the above-described arrangement of the three processing cylinders does not occupy a large space in the height direction of the housing 4, which helps to reduce the size of the housing 3 in both the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0077] In some embodiments, the heat pump system 6 of the garment processing equipment includes two first air ducts 4, which are respectively connected to the first air outlet 12 of the left first processing cylinder 1 and the first air outlet 12 of the right first processing cylinder 1. Specifically, the first air outlet pipes 41 of the two first air ducts 4 are respectively connected to the first air outlet 12 of the left first processing cylinder 1 and the first air outlet 12 of the right first processing cylinder 1. That is, each first air outlet 12 of the first processing cylinder 1 has a corresponding first air duct 4. This allows each set of first air ducts 4 to supply air to the corresponding first processing cylinder 1 during drying, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0078] Alternatively, the heat pump system 6 of the garment processing equipment includes a first air duct 4, which is connected to the first air outlet 12 of the left and right first processing cylinders 1. Specifically, there is one first air duct 4, which includes two first air outlet pipes 41. The outlets of both first air outlet pipes 41 are connected to an air duct pipe 42, and the inlets of both first air outlet pipes 41 are respectively connected to the first air outlet 12 of the left and right first processing cylinders 1. Thus, the first air outlets 12 of the two first processing cylinders 1 (the left and right first processing cylinders) can share a single air duct pipe 42, thereby reducing space occupation and production costs.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the air duct 42 is located vertically between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2. This allows the air duct 42 to utilize the space between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, thereby improving the space utilization within the housing 3.

[0080] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the first air outlet 12 of the left first processing cylinder 1 is located on the upper left side of the axis of the left first processing cylinder 1, and the first air outlet 12 of the right first processing cylinder 1 is located on the upper right side of the axis of the right first processing cylinder 1. The first air outlet duct 41 connected to the first air outlet 12 of the left first processing cylinder 1 is adjacent to the left side of the housing 3, and the first air outlet duct 41 connected to the first air outlet 12 of the right first processing cylinder 1 is adjacent to the right side of the housing 3. That is, the first air outlet 12 is opened on the side of the first processing cylinder 1 (axis) adjacent to the housing 3, and the first air outlet duct 41 is located on the side of the first processing cylinder 1 adjacent to the housing 3. Thus, the space between the first processing cylinder 1 and the housing 3 can be utilized to improve the space utilization rate within the housing 3. For example, at least a portion of the first air outlet duct 41 connected to the first air outlet 12 of the left first processing cylinder 1 is located on the left side of the axis of the left first processing cylinder 1, and at least a portion of the first air outlet duct 41 connected to the first air outlet 12 of the right first processing cylinder 1 is located on the right side of the axis of the right first processing cylinder 1.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first air duct 4 further includes a second air outlet duct (not shown in the figure), and the second air outlet 22, the second air outlet duct, the air duct 42, and the second air inlet 21 are connected in sequence. This allows both the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2 to be supplied with air via the air duct 42, thereby saving costs and space.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a second air duct 5, the two ends of which are connected to a second air inlet 21 and a second air outlet 22, respectively. At least a portion of the heat pump system 6 is located in the second air duct 5. That is, the second air duct 5 is an air duct that cooperates with the second processing cylinder 2. The separate air duct facilitates the drying of the garments inside the second processing cylinder 2, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0083] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the second air duct 5 is located vertically between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2. This allows the second air duct 5 to utilize the space between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, thereby improving the space utilization rate within the housing 3.

[0084] In some embodiments, the heat pump system 6 includes a second evaporator 63 and a second condenser 64 located in the second air duct 5, the second condenser 64 being disposed downstream of the second evaporator 63 in the second air duct 5.

[0085] Specifically, in the airflow direction within the second air duct 5, the airflow first passes through the second evaporator 63 and then through the second condenser 64. The humid airflow within the second processing cylinder 2 can be condensed in the second evaporator 63 to remove condensate, and then enter the second condenser 64 for heating to increase the airflow temperature. In other words, the humid airflow within the second processing cylinder 2 can be converted into dry, hot airflow through the second evaporator 63 and the second condenser 64 to dry the clothes within the second processing cylinder 2. For example, a second fan 66 is provided downstream of the second condenser 64 within the second air duct 5.

[0086] The second evaporator 63 is located vertically between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, and / or, the second evaporator 63 is located behind the first processing cylinder 1. Specifically, the second evaporator 63 being located vertically between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, and / or the second evaporator 63 being located behind the first processing cylinder 1 includes: a. the second evaporator 63 being located vertically between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2; b. the second evaporator 63 being located behind the first processing cylinder 1; c. the second evaporator 63 being located vertically between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, and the second evaporator 63 being located behind the first processing cylinder 1.

[0087] The second condenser 64 is located vertically between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, and / or, the second condenser 64 is located behind the first processing cylinder 1. Specifically, the second condenser 64 being located vertically between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, and / or the second condenser 64 being located behind the first processing cylinder 1 includes: a. the second condenser 64 being located vertically between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2; b. the second condenser 64 being located behind the first processing cylinder 1; c. the second condenser 64 being located vertically between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, and the second condenser 64 being located behind the first processing cylinder 1.

[0088] The second evaporator 63 and the second condenser 64 can utilize the space between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, or the space behind the first processing cylinder 1, thereby allowing for flexible placement of the second evaporator 63 and the second condenser 64 and improving the space utilization rate within the casing 3.

[0089] For example, the second evaporator 63 and the second condenser 64 are located between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2; or, the second evaporator 63 and the second condenser 64 are located behind the first processing cylinder 1; or, the second evaporator 63 is located between the first processing cylinder 1 and the second processing cylinder 2, and the second condenser 64 is located behind the first processing cylinder 1.
