[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0051] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a clothing processing device 100, which includes a housing 20, a roller 30, a heat exchange assembly 40, and a door assembly 10. The housing 20 includes a front air duct 201, a heat exchange air duct 202, and a rear air duct 203 connected in sequence. The roller 30 is installed inside the housing 20 and has a clothing processing chamber 301 and a loading port 101 connected to the clothing processing chamber 301. The clothing processing chamber 301 is connected to the rear air duct 203. The heat exchange assembly 40 is disposed inside the heat exchange air duct 202. The door assembly 10 is movably installed on the housing 20 for opening and closing the loading port 101, and the receiving cavity 11 of the door assembly 10 is connected to the front air duct 201.
[0052] Optionally, the housing 20 also has a mounting cavity inside, and the roller 30 is disposed in the mounting cavity and rotatably mounted on the housing 20, so that the roller 30 can rotate relative to the housing 20, such as... Figure 3As shown, the door assembly 10 has an air inlet 12 that communicates with the receiving cavity 11. When the door assembly 10 is closed over the delivery port 101, the air inlet 12 can communicate with the clothing processing cavity 301 of the roller 30, so that the clothing processing cavity 301, the receiving cavity 11 and the front air duct 201 are connected in sequence. Thus, the clothing processing cavity 301, the front air duct 201, the heat exchange air duct 202 and the rear air duct 203 can be connected in sequence. Since the rear air duct 203 is also connected to the clothing processing cavity 301, the airflow can flow back into the clothing processing cavity 301 after passing through the clothing processing cavity 301, the front air duct 201, the heat exchange air duct 202 and the rear air duct 203 in sequence.
[0053] The heat exchange assembly 40 may include a condenser and an evaporator, with the condenser located downstream of the evaporator. Figure 1 The arrows indicate the direction of airflow. The working process of the clothing processing equipment 100 is as follows: the condenser heats the air in its space to generate high-temperature (e.g., temperature range of 40℃-65℃) dry air. The fan of the clothing processing equipment 100 can drive the high-temperature dry air to flow sequentially to the rear air duct 203, clothing processing chamber 301, receiving chamber 11, and front air duct 201 and then back to the heat exchange air duct 202. In the clothing processing chamber 301, the dry air flows over the surface of the wet clothes and exchanges heat and moisture with the wet clothes, absorbing the moisture in the clothes and becoming high-temperature and high-humidity gas, which is discharged from the clothing processing chamber 301. The high-temperature and high-humidity gas first passes through the evaporator, where it is cooled into low-temperature and low-humidity gas. Then it passes through the condenser, where it is heated back into high-temperature dry gas and enters the next cycle. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous and efficient drying of clothes.
[0054] It should be noted that lint is generated during the drying process of clothes. This lint flows with the airflow within the duct of the clothes processing equipment 100, accumulating on the surfaces of the fan, condenser, and evaporator. This can cause duct blockage and reduce the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser and evaporator, thus affecting the drying effect of the clothes processing equipment 100. The door assembly 10 in this embodiment can filter lint from the airflow and also clean up the filtered lint, eliminating the need for direct user contact with the lint and enabling convenient cleaning.
[0055] Please see Figures 2 to 4This application provides a door assembly 10, which includes a door 1, an internal cavity 11, and an air inlet 12 communicating with the cavity 11. The door 1 can be hinged to the housing 20 of the garment processing device 100, so that the door 1 can rotate relative to the housing 20. This allows the door 1 to switch between a closed state covering the loading port 101 and an open state opening the loading port 101. In the closed state of the door 1 covering the loading port 101, the air inlet 12 communicates with the garment processing cavity 301 of the garment processing device 100, so that the airflow in the garment processing cavity 301 can flow from the air inlet 12 into the cavity 11.
[0056] The door assembly 10 also includes a filter structure 2 and a cleaning structure 3. The filter structure 2 is disposed in the receiving cavity 11 and detachably installed on the door 1, and the filter structure 2 has a filter surface 210 facing the air inlet 12. The cleaning structure 3 is installed on the door 1 and includes a cleaning element 31. The cleaning element 31 is disposed in the receiving cavity 11 and contacts the filter surface 210 for cleaning the filter surface 210.
[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, the air inlet 12 and the filter surface 210 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the filter surface 210, and the filter surface 210 is set at an angle to the axial direction of the air inlet 12, so that the airflow flowing from the air inlet 12 into the receiving cavity 11 can blow towards the filter surface 210. When the airflow carrying lint flows into the receiving cavity 11 from the air inlet 12, the filter surface 210 can filter out the lint in the airflow, preventing the lint from continuing to flow with the airflow into the front air duct 201 and the heat exchange air duct 202.
[0058] In this embodiment, the cleaning component 31 is configured to contact the filter surface 210. When there is a lot of lint on the filter surface 210 that needs to be cleaned, the filter surface 210 can be cleaned by the relative movement of the cleaning component 31 and the filter surface 210, so that the lint falls off the filter surface 210. The user only needs to use the cleaning component 31 to clean the filter surface 210 without directly touching the lint with their hands, which can achieve convenient cleaning.
[0059] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the cleaning component 31 can be a rotating cleaning component. The cleaning structure 3 also includes a pivot 32 and a handle 33. The pivot 32 is rotatably mounted on the door body 1 about the axis of the pivot 32. The pivot 32 includes a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite to each other along the axis of the pivot 32. The first end of the pivot 32 extends into the receiving cavity 11 and is connected to the cleaning component 31. The handle 33 is connected to the second end of the pivot 32. The handle 33 is located outside the receiving cavity 11. The handle 33 is used for the user to hold and drive the pivot 32 to rotate about the axis of the pivot 32, thereby driving the cleaning component 31 to rotate about the axis of the pivot 32 to scrape and clean the filter surface 210.
[0060] Optionally, the door body 1 may be provided with a rotating hole communicating with the receiving cavity 11. The rotating shaft 32 passes through the rotating hole and can rotate relative to the door body 1 around the axis of the rotating shaft 32. The first end of the rotating shaft 32 can extend into the receiving cavity 11 and connect with the cleaning component 31. The second end of the rotating component is connected to the handle 33 located outside the receiving cavity 11. When it is necessary to clean the lint on the filter surface 210, the door body 1 can be rotated to the open state of opening the dispensing port 101. At this time, the handle 33 is in a position that can be held by the user. The user can rotate the handle 33 by hand to drive the rotating shaft 32 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 32, thereby driving the cleaning component 31 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 32, so that the cleaning component 31 can move relative to the filter surface 210 to scrape and clean the filter surface 210. It is very convenient to clean the lint on the filter surface 210.
[0061] Combination Figure 3 In some embodiments, the surface of the door body 1 with the air inlet 12 is recessed to form a receiving groove 16. The bottom surface of the receiving groove 16 is provided with a rotating hole, which communicates with the receiving cavity 11. The rotating shaft 32 passes through the rotating hole, and at least a part of the handle 33 is provided in the receiving groove 16, so that the handle 33 can be installed in the receiving groove 16 and hidden. When the door body 1 is in the closed state, the handle 33 will not obstruct the airflow in the clothing processing cavity 301.
[0062] In this embodiment, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32 can be perpendicular to the filter surface 210. When the rotating shaft 32 drives the cleaning component 31 to rotate, the cleaning component 31 can rotate around a direction perpendicular to the filter surface 210, so that the cleaning component 31 is always in contact with the filter surface 210 during the rotation process, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning component 31. The rotating shaft 32 can also be rotated in both directions to drive the cleaning component 31 to clean the filter surface 210 back and forth, so as to thoroughly remove the lint on the filter surface 210.
[0063] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6In other embodiments, the door body 1 has an insertion port 13 communicating with the receiving cavity 11, and the side wall with the insertion port 13 is set at an angle to the side wall with the air inlet 12. The filter structure 2 extends into the receiving cavity 11 from the insertion port 13, and a portion of the filter structure 2 is disposed in the insertion port 13. The filter structure 2 is installed on the door body 1. The cleaning member 31 acts on the portion of the filter structure 2 disposed in the receiving cavity. When the filter structure 2 is moved relative to the insertion port 13, the cleaning member 31 acts on the filter surface 210, which can scrape and clean the lint attached to the filter surface 210.
[0064] Optionally, the door body 1 includes a first side wall and a second side wall connected to the first side wall. The first side wall and the second side wall are set at an angle. The first side wall is provided with an insertion port 13 and the second side wall is provided with an air inlet 12. The insertion direction of the insertion port 13 is set at an angle to the air inlet direction of the air inlet 12. When the filter structure 2 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 from the insertion port 13, the filter surface 210 of the filter structure 2 is set at an angle to the air inlet direction of the air inlet 12, so that the filter surface 210 can contact the airflow entering the receiving cavity 11 from the air inlet 12 to the maximum extent. Thus, the filter surface 210 can filter out the lint in the airflow more fully. When the filter structure 2 is pulled out from the insertion port 13, the cleaning component 31 can also scrape and clean the lint attached to the filter surface 210.
[0065] In other embodiments, one of the cleaning components 31 can be a scraping cleaning component. At least a portion of the scraping cleaning component is fixed within the insertion port 13. When the filter structure 2 is withdrawn from the insertion port 13, the filter surface 210 moves relative to the scraping cleaning component, allowing the scraping cleaning component to scrape and clean the filter surface 210, thereby removing lint from the filter surface 210 and making it easy to clean the lint from the filter surface 210. Alternatively, the filter structure 2 can be repeatedly inserted and withdrawn within the insertion port 13, allowing the scraping cleaning component to move back and forth on the filter surface 210, thereby cleaning the lint from the filter surface 210 more efficiently.
[0066] Please see Figure 6In some embodiments, the scraping cleaning element is fixed to the inner side of the insertion port 13 and is located between the filter surface 210 and the air inlet 12. It is understood that the filter surface 210 is positioned facing the side where the air inlet 12 is located, so that the airflow entering the receiving cavity 11 from the air inlet 12 can directly blow onto the filter surface 210, facilitating the filter surface 210 to filter out lint from the airflow, with the filtered lint mainly concentrated on the filter surface 210. By fixing the scraping cleaning element to the inner side of the insertion port 13 and positioning it between the filter surface 210 and the air inlet 12, the filter surface 210 can contact and move relative to the scraping cleaning element when the filter structure 2 extends into the receiving cavity 11 from the insertion port 13 and when the filter structure 2 is withdrawn from the receiving cavity 11 from the insertion port 13, allowing the scraping cleaning element to remove lint from the filter surface 210.
[0067] Please see Figures 7 to 10 In some embodiments, the filter structure 2 may include a plurality of filter elements 21, all of which are installed in the receiving cavity 11. The filter surfaces 210 of the plurality of filter elements 21 are parallel, and the plurality of filter elements 21 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the filter surfaces 210, with adjacent filter elements 21 spaced apart.
[0068] In this embodiment, the filter structure 2 may include two filter elements 21, each filter element 21 having a filter surface 210. The two filter surfaces 210 are arranged in parallel, and the two filter elements 21 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the filter surface 210, and the two filter elements 21 are spaced apart. Both filter surfaces 210 can be used to filter out lint in the airflow entering the receiving cavity 11 from the air inlet 12. By increasing the number of filter surfaces 210, the filter surface area can be increased, further improving the filtration efficiency. In other embodiments, the filter structure 2 may include three filter elements 21, which can be arranged in a direction perpendicular to the filter surface 210. Of course, the filter structure 2 may also include other numbers of filter elements 21.
[0069] It should be noted that the two adjacent filter elements 21 are spaced apart, so that there is a gap between the two adjacent filter elements 21, and the airflow can flow through the gap, thereby reducing the resistance of the filter structure 2 to the airflow, so that the clothing processing equipment 100 can maintain a high air volume during the drying process and improve the drying efficiency.
[0070] It is understandable that multiple filter surfaces 210 are arranged at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the filter surface 210. The filter surface 210 closest to the air inlet 12 is the first to come into contact with the airflow and is also the first to filter the airflow. Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, along the direction from the air inlet 12 toward the filter structure 2, the area of the filter surface 210 closest to the air inlet 12 is smaller than the area of the filter surface 210 furthest from the air inlet 12. For ease of description, the filter surface 210 closest to the air inlet 12 is defined as the first filter surface 210, and the filter surface 210 furthest from the air inlet 12 is defined as the second filter surface 210. When the area of the first filter surface 210 is smaller than the area of the second filter surface 210, even if the first filter surface 210 is clogged with lint, it will not completely block the second filter surface 210. The airflow can still bypass the first filter surface 210 and flow to the second filter surface 210, allowing the second filter surface 210 to continue filtering the airflow. This improves filtration efficiency and prevents the first filter surface 210 from completely blocking the airflow after being clogged with lint.
[0071] In some embodiments, at least one of the plurality of filter elements 21 is detachably connected to the door body 1, and each filter element 21 has a magnetic element 214. The plurality of magnetic elements 214 are magnetically connected in sequence to connect the plurality of filter elements 21 together. Optionally, the plurality of filter elements 21 are magnetically connected together in sequence by the plurality of magnetic elements 214, so that only one of the plurality of filter elements 21 needs to be detachably connected to the door body 1 to install all the filter elements 21 on the door body 1, which simplifies the structure of the door body 1 and the structure of the filter elements 21. Furthermore, when removing the plurality of filter elements 21 from the door body 1, only one of the plurality of filter elements 21 needs to be disconnected from the door body 1 to remove the plurality of filter elements 21 from the door body 1, which simplifies the disassembly process.
[0072] In some embodiments, each filter element 21 includes a filter screen 212. Along the arrangement direction of the plurality of filter elements 21, the distance between two adjacent filter screens 212 is d, where d satisfies: 20mm ≥ d ≥ 12mm. Within this distance range, airflow can pass through the plurality of filter screens 212 in sequence, so that the plurality of filter screens 212 can filter the airflow. When the distance d between two adjacent filter screens 212 is greater than 20mm, the size of the filter structure 2 will be large, making it inconvenient to place the filter element 21 in the receiving cavity 11. When the distance d between two adjacent filter screens 212 is less than 12mm, the gap between two adjacent filter screens 212 will be too small, resulting in greater resistance to airflow passing through the plurality of filter screens 212, making it difficult for the airflow to flow smoothly, which will affect the drying efficiency of the clothing processing equipment 100.
[0073] In some embodiments, the filter element 21 includes a bracket 211 and a filter screen 212 disposed on the bracket 211. The bracket 211 is used to provide support for the filter screen 212. The side of the filter screen 212 facing the air inlet 12 is a filter surface 210. The bracket 211 is detachably connected to the door shell 1. The bracket 211 includes a sealing part 2111 and a supporting part 2112. The sealing part 2111 is disposed in the insertion port 13, and the supporting part 2112 is disposed in the receiving cavity 11. The supporting part 2112 has two guide surfaces 2110. The two guide surfaces 2110 are arranged opposite each other in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the filter structure 2 is inserted into the insertion port 13. Each guide surface 2110 extends along the direction in which the filter structure 2 is inserted into the insertion port 13.
[0074] Optionally, the bracket 211 is provided with a hook, and the door body 1 is provided with a locking member that cooperates with the hook. After the filter element 21 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the hook and the locking member engage, so that the filter element 21 can be installed on the door body 1. When the filter element 21 needs to be pulled out from the receiving cavity 11, it is only necessary to disengage the hook and the locking member.
[0075] The bracket 211 mainly includes two parts: a sealing part 2111 and a support part 2112. The sealing part 2111 is located at the insertion port and is detachably connected to the door body 1. The support part 2112 is used to provide support for the filter screen 212, or in other words, the filter surface 210 is installed on the support part 2112. The support part 2112 is provided with a guide surface 2110.
[0076] In this embodiment, the support 2112 has two guide surfaces 2110. The two guide surfaces 2110 are arranged opposite each other in a direction parallel to the filter surface 210 and perpendicular to the insertion direction of the insertion port 13. Each guide surface 2110 extends along the direction in which the filter structure 2 is inserted into the insertion port 13, and the two guide surfaces 2110 are inclined toward each other. During the process of the support 2112 extending into the insertion port 13, the two guide surfaces 2110 can contact the inner surface of the insertion port 13 respectively to guide the support 2112 to extend into the insertion port 13, so as to facilitate the insertion of the filter element 21 into the receiving cavity 11.
[0077] In other embodiments, the two guide surfaces 2110 may be arranged opposite each other in a direction perpendicular to the filter surface 210. Similarly, the two guide surfaces 2110 can also guide the support portion 2112 to extend into the insertion port 13, facilitating the insertion of the filter element 21 into the receiving cavity 11. Of course, the support portion 2112 may also be provided with other numbers of guide surfaces 2110. For example, the support portion 2112 may be provided with four guide surfaces 2110, which are located on four different sides of the support portion 2112.
[0078] Please see Figure 4In some embodiments, the filter element 21 further includes a sealing strip 213, which is disposed on the bracket 211 and is used to seal the gap between the bracket 211 and the door body 1.
[0079] Optionally, the sealing strip 213 can be provided along the periphery of the bracket 211. When the filter element 21 is provided in the receiving cavity 11, the sealing strip 213 can be compressed on the side wall of the bracket 211 and the door body 1 that defines the insertion port 13, so that the sealing strip 213 can block the gap between the bracket 211 and the door body 1 and prevent airflow from flowing out of the insertion port 13.
[0080] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the door 1 includes a main door 14 and an inner door panel 15 connected to the main door 14. The main door 14 and the inner door panel 15 enclose a receiving cavity 11. The main door 14 is closably installed on the inlet 101. The inner door panel 15 is provided with an air inlet 12. The plane where the air inlet 12 is located is inclined relative to the filter surface 210. When the main door 14 is closed on the inlet 101, at least a portion of the inner door panel 15 is located inside the inlet 101.
[0081] Optionally, the main door 14 can be hinged to the housing 20, so that the main door 14 can rotate relative to the housing 20. Thus, the main door 14 can switch between a closed state that covers the delivery port 101 and an open state that opens the delivery port 101. When the main door 14 is rotated to the closed state, the main door 14 can cover the delivery port 101, and the inner door panel 15 connected to the main door 14 is located inside the delivery port 101, so that the air inlet 12 on the inner door panel 15 can communicate with the clothing processing chamber 301.
[0082] In this embodiment, the plane where the air inlet 12 is located can be inclined relative to the filter surface 210. So even if the area of the air inlet 12 is larger than the area of the filter surface 210, the projection of the air inlet 12 along the direction perpendicular to the filter surface 210 can be located on the filter surface 210, so that the filter surface 210 can fully contact the airflow entering the receiving cavity 11 from the air inlet 12, which can further improve the efficiency of filtering lint.
[0083] Please see Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, at least one of the main door body 14 and the inner door panel 15 is provided with a snap-fit portion, and at least the other of the main door body 14 and the inner door panel 15 is provided with a slot portion. The snap-fit portion and the slot portion snap-fit together to assemble the main door body 14 and the inner door panel 15 into one piece so that the two can move together.
[0084] Optionally, the outer contour of the inner door panel 15 is circular. Two latching parts can be provided on the periphery of the inner door panel 15, and the two latching parts can be distributed at intervals along the circumference of the inner door panel 15. Two slots can be provided on the main door body 14, and the two slots can correspond one-to-one with the two latching parts. The inner door panel 15 can be rotated to make the two latching parts engage with the two slots respectively, thereby installing the inner door panel 15 on the main door body 14. When it is necessary to remove the inner door panel 15, simply rotate the inner door panel 15 in the opposite direction to disengage the two latching parts from the two slots respectively, thereby making it easy to remove the inner door panel 15.
[0085] Of course, the inner door panel 15 can also be provided with a slot, and the main door body 14 can be provided with a snap-fit part. It is only necessary to ensure that the inner door panel 15 and the main door body 14 can be connected together by snap-fit parts and slots.
[0086] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the door assembly 10 further includes a collection box 4, which is detachably disposed on the door 1 and has a collection port communicating with the receiving cavity 11, the collection port being located below the filter structure 2.
[0087] Optionally, the door 1 may have an installation port, and the collection box 4 may be detachably installed at the installation port. The collection box 4 is located directly below the filter structure 2, so that the collection port of the collection box 4 can be used to receive the lint cleaned from the filter structure 2. When the collection box 4 collects a lot of lint, the collection box 4 can be removed and cleaned.
