Description

[Technical Field]

[0002] This utility model relates to the field of clothing care equipment technology, and in particular to a clothing care machine that prevents airflow from directly blowing onto clothing. [Background Technology]

[0004] With the increasing demand for refined clothing care in modern life, garment care machines integrating functions such as drying, wrinkle removal, sterilization, and deodorization are becoming increasingly popular. These devices are mostly vertical cabinets with a built-in care chamber, using an internal air circulation and treatment system to care for the garments. A typical system includes air handling components such as a fan and a heat pump. During operation, air is drawn out of the care chamber, treated to regulate temperature and humidity, and then returned by the fan through vents at the bottom of the care chamber, creating a circulating airflow that acts on the garments.

[0005] However, this commonly used design often leads to an inherent flaw: the treated airflow is usually concentrated and high-speed, sprayed directly vertically upwards from the bottom air outlet. This strong, direct airflow can not only damage delicate fabrics such as silk and wool, causing physical or thermal damage or even deformation, but also, due to the concentrated airflow, it is difficult to form a uniform distribution in the treatment room, resulting in inconsistent treatment effects on different parts of the garment and affecting the overall quality and efficiency of the treatment.

[0006] To attempt to mitigate this problem, some existing technologies do incorporate airflow guiding structures at the air outlet, such as simple grilles or fixed louvers. However, these structures primarily provide basic protection or minor turbulence; they typically lack the ability to effectively block the core high-speed direct airflow and are also relatively weak in guiding airflow to diffuse evenly. Therefore, these existing solutions have limited effectiveness in fundamentally addressing the risk of direct airflow and improving the uniformity of care. [Utility Model Content]

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a garment care machine that prevents airflow from directly blowing onto clothes, in order to solve the problem that concentrated airflow directly sprayed from the bottom air outlet of existing garment care machines may damage clothes and lead to uneven care effects.

[0009] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] A garment care machine for preventing direct airflow from blowing directly onto clothes includes a cabinet. The upper part of the cabinet has a care chamber with an air outlet and an air return outlet. Below the air outlet is a centrifugal fan located at the bottom of the cabinet. The air return outlet is connected to a return air channel located at the bottom of the cabinet. A heat pump assembly is provided between the centrifugal fan and the return air channel. At the air outlet, a wind deflector is provided to guide the rising airflow from below to the sides to prevent it from blowing directly onto the clothes.

[0011] As described above, a garment care machine that prevents airflow from directly blowing onto clothing includes a wind deflector, with multiple connecting parts evenly arranged around the wind deflector. There is a clearance between the wind deflector and the bottom of the care chamber to allow airflow to move laterally from the air outlet.

[0012] In the garment care machine described above, which prevents airflow from directly blowing onto clothing, the projected area of ​​the baffle relative to the bottom of the care chamber is larger than the area of ​​the air outlet.

[0013] As described above, in a garment care machine that prevents airflow from blowing directly onto clothing, a plurality of first guide ribs are evenly provided on any two opposite sides of one end face of the baffle plate facing the air outlet, and a plurality of second guide ribs are evenly provided on the remaining two opposite sides of the end face.

[0014] As described above, in a garment care machine that prevents airflow from directly blowing onto clothing, the thickness of the wind deflector decreases radially from its center.

[0015] As described above, in a garment care machine that prevents airflow from directly blowing onto clothing, the wind deflector has multiple pressure relief holes.

[0016] As described above, a garment care machine for preventing direct airflow from blowing onto clothes has a connecting flange between the centrifugal fan and the air outlet. The shape of the connecting flange is adapted to the air outlet. The connecting flange is detachably fixed to the edge of the air outlet housing of the centrifugal fan and connects the centrifugal fan to the air outlet.

[0017] As described above, in a garment care machine that prevents airflow from directly blowing onto clothing, the connecting flange is provided with multiple assembly parts that can be disassembled and fixed in conjunction with the connecting part, for installing and fixing the windproof device.

[0018] As described above, in a garment care machine that prevents airflow from directly blowing onto clothes, the heat pump assembly includes a heat exchange chamber adjacent to the centrifugal fan, a heat exchange base connected below the heat exchange chamber, a condenser and an evaporator mounted on the heat exchange base, the condenser being adjacent to the heat exchange chamber, a return air duct being adjacent to the evaporator, and a compressor being piped to both the condenser and the evaporator.

[0019] As described above, in a garment care machine that prevents airflow from directly blowing onto clothing, a heating element is provided at the air outlet of the centrifugal fan, and an air intake port for increasing air volume is provided on the side wall of the housing near its air outlet.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0021] By installing a wind deflector at the air outlet, concentrated, high-speed airflow directly from below can be effectively intercepted and forced to diffuse in all directions. This prevents the airflow from directly impacting the hanging garments, significantly reducing the risk of physical damage, thermal damage, or deformation to delicate and sensitive fabrics such as silk and wool. Furthermore, the wind deflector transforms the concentrated vertical airflow into a gentle, diffused airflow, contributing to a more uniform and thorough airflow distribution throughout the treatment room. This allows heat, dry air, or other treatment media generated by heat pump components to more evenly cover and penetrate all parts of the garments, significantly improving the uniformity and overall efficiency of drying, wrinkle removal, sterilization, and deodorization processes.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0035] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects clearer, this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 10 This embodiment provides a garment care machine that prevents airflow from directly blowing onto clothing. The garment care machine includes a vertical cabinet 10, with a care chamber 11 on the upper part for holding clothing. The bottom of the care chamber 11 has an air outlet 12 for blowing out the treated airflow and an air return outlet 13 for recovering the airflow.

[0037] An air circulation and treatment system is installed at the bottom of the cabinet 10. This includes a centrifugal fan 14 located below the air outlet 12, which drives the airflow. The return air outlet 13 is connected to the air handling unit via a return air duct 15, which is also located at the bottom of the cabinet 10.

[0038] Air handling is handled by a heat pump assembly 16, which includes a heat exchange chamber 161 adjacent to the air inlet side of the centrifugal fan 14; a heat exchange base 162 connected below the heat exchange chamber 161; a condenser 163 mounted on the heat exchange base 162 and adjacent to the heat exchange chamber 161; an evaporator 164 also mounted on the heat exchange base 162 but adjacent to the return air duct 15; and a compressor 165 connected to the condenser 163 and the evaporator 164 via pipes, forming a complete cooling / heating cycle. The air circulation path of this system is roughly as follows: air enters the return air duct 15 from the nursing room 11 through the return air inlet 13, flows through the evaporator 164 for cooling and dehumidification, then flows through the condenser 163 for heating, and then enters the heat exchange chamber 161. After being pressurized by the centrifugal fan 14, it is then returned to the nursing room 11 through the air outlet 12. It should be noted that the above-mentioned air circulation and treatment system is existing technology, so it will only be briefly described and will not be elaborated further, as those skilled in the art should know.

[0039] However, simply providing the aforementioned circulating airflow may result in the airflow being too concentrated and intense, directly upward from the air outlet 12, potentially damaging clothing or causing uneven care. To address this common technical problem in the prior art, this embodiment specifically designs and installs a wind deflector 17 at the air outlet 12.

[0040] This air deflector 17 is located on the airflow path rising from the centrifugal fan 14 below through the air outlet 12. Its physical structure can be designed as an upwardly protruding conical cover, a ring-shaped component with guide ribs, or a flat plate at a specific angle, etc., to effectively intercept the vertically upward, concentrated airflow and forcibly guide it to the sides of the air outlet 12 or diffuse it upward at a certain angle, so that it finally enters the nursing room 11 in a more diffuse state.

[0041] By installing the wind deflector 17 at the air outlet 12, the high-speed airflow (whether hot or cold) driven by the centrifugal fan 14 and processed by the heat pump assembly 16 no longer directly and violently impacts the hanging clothes, greatly reducing the risk of physical damage, thermal damage or deformation to delicate or sensitive fabrics such as silk and wool.

[0042] Furthermore, the wind deflector 17 transforms the originally concentrated rising airflow at the air outlet 12 into a more diffused airflow that spreads outwards. This change in airflow pattern directly contributes to a more uniform and seamless airflow distribution throughout the entire care room 11. This allows the heat, dry air, or other care media generated by the heat pump assembly 16 to more evenly cover and penetrate all parts of the garment, significantly improving the uniformity and overall efficiency of the drying, wrinkle removal, sterilization, and deodorization processes.

[0043] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the wind deflector 17 includes a wind deflector 171. This wind deflector 171 can be designed as circular, square, or other shapes suitable for covering the air outlet 12, and its material can be heat-resistant plastic or metal. To stably fix the wind deflector 171 above the air outlet 12 and to achieve lateral airflow guidance, a plurality of connecting portions 172 are evenly provided on the periphery of the wind deflector 171, i.e., its edge portion. These connecting portions 172 can be short columns, L-shaped brackets, clips, or reinforcing ribs extending from the edge of the wind deflector, etc. One end of them is connected to the edge or lower surface of the wind deflector 171, and the other end is fixed to the bottom surface of the care room 11, or fixed to the structural members around the air outlet 12. Supported by the connecting portions 172, a deliberately reserved clearance of a specific height is formed between the wind deflector 171 and the bottom of the care room 11 or the air outlet structure it covers, throughout the entire periphery of the wind deflector 171. This gap ensures a passage for airflow.

[0044] During operation, the rising airflow from the air outlet 12 first impacts the lower surface of the baffle 171 and is blocked, preventing it from continuing to blow vertically upwards onto the clothing. Because the vertical path is blocked, the airflow is forced to flow laterally along the lower surface of the baffle 171. Finally, the airflow diffuses evenly from the edge of the baffle 171 outwards through the clearance between the periphery of the baffle 171 and the bottom of the care room 11, entering the main space of the care room 11. The even distribution of the connecting parts 172 helps ensure that the clearance is continuous in the circumferential direction and has a substantially uniform height, thus promoting a relatively even airflow from all sides.

[0045] Furthermore, the geometry and size of the baffle 171 are designed such that its projected area on the bottom plane of the nursing room 11 is larger than the opening area of ​​the air outlet 12 directly below it. For example, if the air outlet 12 is a circular opening with a diameter of D, then the baffle 171 can be circular, but its diameter d must be larger than the diameter D of the air outlet 12. Essentially, when viewed vertically downwards from directly above the air outlet 12, the outline of the baffle 171 completely covers and extends beyond the outline of the air outlet 12.

[0046] Because the baffle 171 is larger than the air outlet 12, it ensures that all airflow rising from the entire area of ​​the air outlet 12 is intercepted by the lower surface of the baffle 171. No part of the airflow can escape from the edge of the baffle 171 and continue its vertical upward path. This achieves complete blockage of the direct airflow, maximizing the effect of preventing airflow from directly impacting clothing.

[0047] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution, and not a limitation thereof, a specific flow-guiding structure is provided on the lower surface of the baffle 171, i.e., the side facing the air outlet 12 and the side where the airflow first impacts. Specifically, on the lower surface of the baffle 171, a plurality of first flow-guiding ribs 173 are evenly distributed along any selected pair of opposite sides, such as the lower surface area corresponding to the front and rear edges. At the same time, on the lower surface of the baffle 171, adjacent to the aforementioned sides, a plurality of second flow-guiding ribs 174 are evenly distributed on the remaining pair of opposite sides, such as the lower surface area corresponding to the left and right edges. It should be noted that, in order to clearly describe the "opposite sides" mentioned above, the baffle 171 in this embodiment has a roughly square or rectangular outline; baffles 171 of other shapes may also be suitable for defining two pairs of opposite sides according to actual conditions.

[0048] The aforementioned guide ribs are slender strip-shaped structures protruding downwards from the lower surface of the wind deflector 171. They can start from near the center of the wind deflector 171 or a certain specific position and extend in a roughly radial or parallel pattern towards the corresponding edge of the wind deflector 171. Within their respective side regions, the distance between these guide ribs is approximately equal, and they are arranged neatly.

[0049] When airflow rises from the air outlet 12 and impacts the lower surface of the baffle 171, it is forced to flow laterally in all directions, flowing along the channels between these guide ribs. Since the first guide rib 173 and the second guide rib 174 can be designed with different directions or different shapes and structures, they can produce different guiding effects on the air flowing over them. For example, the first guide rib 173 can be designed to generate a straighter and smoother lateral airflow, while the second guide rib 174 can be designed to introduce a certain rotation, turbulence, or a specific outflow angle. Of course, the second guide rib 174 can also be designed to generate a lateral airflow perpendicular to the direction of the first guide rib 173. By setting first guide ribs 173 and second guide ribs 174 with different structures or functions on different sides of the lower surface of the baffle 171, the basic anti-direct-blow and lateral airflow guidance of the baffle device 17 is further enhanced by adding a means to finely zone and control the characteristics of the lateral outflow airflow, optimizing the airflow organization within the nursing room 11, thereby improving overall nursing performance or achieving specific advanced nursing effects.

[0050] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the thickness of the wind deflector 171 decreases radially from its center. This means that the wind deflector 171 is thickest in its central region, and its thickness decreases towards its periphery. Compared to a uniformly thick plate with the same center thickness, the thicker central region ensures sufficient structural rigidity to withstand airflow impact, while the thinner edges significantly reduce the amount of material required to manufacture the wind deflector 171, thereby effectively reducing the component's weight and material costs. The gradually thinning shape of the wind deflector 171 from the center to the edge also has a positive impact on airflow guidance. When airflow is forced to turn below the wind deflector 171 and flows out through the surrounding clearances, a gradually thinning, streamlined edge guides the airflow more effectively to smoothly "attach" to the edge surface and turn, compared to a thick, blunt vertical edge. This helps reduce the possibility of severe airflow separation and vortex formation at corners, thereby reducing energy loss and aerodynamic noise. In other words, this thickness distribution facilitates a smooth transition of airflow from vertical ascent to lateral diffusion, helping to form a more orderly and uniform lateral jet, thereby indirectly enhancing the overall airflow efficiency of the wind deflector 17 and improving the airflow distribution within the nursing room 11.

[0051] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, a plurality of pressure relief holes 175 are formed on the body of the wind deflector 171. These pressure relief holes 175 are channels that penetrate the entire thickness of the wind deflector 171. The location, size, shape, and number of pressure relief holes 175 can be determined according to specific aerodynamic design requirements. For example, they can be concentrated in the area of ​​the wind deflector 171 near the geometric center where the airflow impact pressure is usually the greatest, or they can be evenly distributed on the entire surface of the wind deflector 171, or they can be linearly arranged on one side. The shape of the pressure relief holes 175 can be circular, elongated, or other irregular shapes.

[0052] When a high-speed airflow impacts the lower surface of the baffle 171, a localized high-pressure zone is formed below the baffle. The pressure relief hole 175 allows some gas to "leak" upwards directly from this high-pressure zone, effectively reducing the peak pressure below the baffle 171. This helps reduce the aerodynamic load acting on the baffle 171 and its connecting part 172, improving its structural stability and service life. Simultaneously, the pressure reduction and the avoidance of airflow whistling that might result from complete blockage also help reduce operating noise.

[0053] In addition, although the main purpose of the wind deflector 17 is to prevent strong direct airflow, the pressure relief hole 175 allows a small amount of airflow to flow upward in a dispersed, multi-hole jet form, creating a central upward airflow with a controllable total volume, significantly reduced intensity, and highly diffuse shape. This airflow is relatively gentle, avoiding the impact of the original airflow, but still provides a certain degree of airflow coverage to the central area of ​​the nursing room 11, especially the lower center of the hanging clothes, which helps to initiate and maintain air circulation throughout the nursing room 11 and prevents the formation of a dead zone in the central area.

[0054] Furthermore, to achieve a more regular and reliable connection between the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 14 and the air outlet 12 at the bottom of the nursing room 11, a connecting flange 18 is provided between the two. This connecting flange 18 is a transitional connecting component and can be annular, rectangular, or other shapes that match the contour of the air outlet 12. The lower end of the connecting flange 18 is designed to mate with the edge of the air outlet housing of the centrifugal fan 14 and can be detachably secured by, for example, bolts, clips, or other fasteners.

[0055] Its upper end has a shape and size that precisely matches the air outlet 12 at the bottom of the nursing room 11. It can be inserted into the air outlet 12, flush with it, or cover the edge of the air outlet 12, forming a smooth and well-sealed airflow channel to ensure that the airflow generated by the centrifugal fan 14 can be smoothly introduced into the air outlet 12. In addition, the connecting flange 18 also serves to install and fix the wind deflector 17. The connecting flange 18 has assembly parts 181 corresponding to the number of connecting parts 172 on the wind deflector 17. These assembly parts 181 are used to cooperate with the connecting parts 172 on the wind deflector 17 and achieve detachable fixation. The specific form of the assembly part 181 can be:

[0056] Threaded holes are opened on the inner wall or upper surface of the flange for fixing the connection part 172 by screws;

[0057] The groove or snap-fit ​​structure provided on the flange is used to engage with the corresponding structure on the connecting part 172;

[0058] Locating pins or locating holes provided on the flange are used for precise positioning and to assist in fixing the connection part 172.

[0059] During assembly, the wind deflector 17 is connected to the mounting portion 181 on the connecting flange 18 via its connecting portion 172, thereby being securely and precisely installed and fixed onto the connecting flange 18. Since the connecting flange 18 itself is precisely positioned at the air outlet 12, the wind deflector 17 is stably placed above the air outlet 12, precisely in the path of the rising airflow, effectively performing its functions of preventing direct airflow and guiding airflow.

[0060] Compared to directly fixing the air deflector 17 to the thinner or more complex floor plate of the nursing room 11, the transition connection via the connecting flange 18 provides stronger support and a more stable fixation, better resisting airflow impact and the effects of long-term use. It also ensures that the center position, height, and angle of the air deflector 17 relative to the air outlet 12 meet design requirements, thereby guaranteeing its optimal airflow guiding performance.

[0061] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, a heating element 19 is installed at the outlet port of the centrifugal fan 14, that is, directly downstream of the air leaving the fan impeller and about to enter the outlet 12. This heating element 19 can be a high-efficiency PTC heater, a conventional resistance wire heater, or other suitable electric heating device.

[0062] The heating element 19 complements or replaces the heating function of the heat pump assembly 16, which is mainly located in the return air path. It can achieve rapid heating and high temperature achievement, providing additional and powerful heat output when special procedures such as quickly reaching the care temperature, drying, or high-temperature sterilization are required. Due to its position close to the final air outlet, it can perform very direct and rapid temperature fine-tuning of the airflow delivered into the care room 11.

[0063] Additionally, one or more air intake vents 20 are provided on the casing of the centrifugal fan 14, particularly on the side wall near its outlet, i.e., the area where air is about to enter the care room. These air intake vents 20 are used to increase the total intake air volume of the final mixed airflow, thereby affecting the output air volume. Utilizing the local negative pressure or ejection effect generated by the high-speed airflow near the outlet area of ​​the centrifugal fan 14, ambient air from the bottom space of the garment care machine casing is drawn into the fan casing through the air intake vents 20, mixing with the main airflow from the heat pump assembly 16 to adjust the outlet airflow parameters and increase the circulating air volume.

[0064] Working principle of this utility model:

[0065] This embodiment proposes a garment care machine that prevents direct airflow from blowing directly onto clothing. Its core working principle lies in optimizing the airflow organization within the care chamber through a cleverly designed wind deflector, thus solving the problems of garment damage and uneven care that can occur with traditional direct airflow. First, the air circulation and processing system at the bottom of the device operates normally: air from the care chamber is drawn in through the return air vent, undergoes necessary cooling, dehumidification, and heating treatment by the heat pump system, and is then pressurized by a centrifugal fan, ready to be sent back to the care chamber. The key innovation occurs when the treated airflow leaves the outlet. The wind deflector, preferably a baffle plate with an area larger than the outlet, is suspended and fixed above the outlet via a connecting part, effectively intercepting the strong, vertically upward-spraying airflow. The obstructed airflow is forced to diffuse outwards along the lower surface of the baffle plate and ultimately enters the care chamber more gently and evenly through the pre-reserved clearance between the edge of the baffle plate and the bottom of the care chamber. This structure not only prevents the direct impact of high-speed airflow on clothing from the source, protecting sensitive fabrics, but also transforms concentrated airflow into a more uniform airflow field with a wider coverage area, significantly improving the uniformity and efficiency of drying, wrinkle removal, and sterilization processes. To further optimize performance, the baffle can be designed with guide ribs on the lower surface to finely control lateral airflow characteristics. A variable thickness structure with a thicker center and thinner edges is used to balance strength, lightweight, and aerodynamic efficiency. Pressure relief holes are also included to stabilize airflow, reduce noise, and activate airflow in the central area. Furthermore, a connecting flange ensures the baffle is stable and precisely positioned, supplementary heating elements enable rapid heating, and the air intake introduces additional air to increase the circulating air volume, collectively forming an efficient and safe garment care solution.

[0066] The above are implementation methods provided in conjunction with specific content, and it is not intended that the specific implementation of this application is limited to these descriptions. Any methods or structures that are similar to those of this application, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of this application, should be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
