Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and more specifically, to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, to address the need for separate washing of clothes, twin-drum washing machines have emerged. In these machines, clothes in the drum are dried via a drying unit, which typically includes a drying channel connected to the drum. Air from the drum is treated in this drying channel before being returned to the drum for further drying. In these related technologies, the drying channel in twin-drum washing machines is not independent. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a garment processing apparatus in which the drying channels of each roller are independent of each other.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a garment processing device, comprising:

[0005] First roller;

[0006] A second roller is disposed to the side and above the first roller, and the diameter of the second roller is smaller than that of the first roller; and

[0007] The drying device includes a drying module disposed above the first drum and located to the side of the second drum, the drying module including a first drying channel and a second drying channel that are independent of each other;

[0008] The drying device further includes a first channel extending to the rear of the first drum and a second channel extending to the rear of the second drum. The first drying channel is connected to the first drum through the first channel, and the second drying channel is connected to the second drum through the second channel. This arrangement ensures that the drying channels of the first and second drums are independent of each other, preventing gas exchange and avoiding cross-contamination of gases and bacteria between the two drums, thus achieving more thorough hygiene isolation.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the second drying channel is located between the first drying channel and the second drum. This implementation can save on the length of the pipeline connecting the second drying channel to the second drum.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the first channel extends from the first drying channel toward the side opposite to the second drum, and the second channel extends from the second drying channel toward the second drum. This implementation avoids interference between the first and second channels, resulting in a more rational spatial arrangement of the first and second channels.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the drying module includes a box body with a partition inside the box body to divide the box body into a first drying channel and a second drying channel. This implementation allows the first drying channel and the second drying channel to be positioned more centrally, saving space in the garment processing equipment.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the drying apparatus further includes a third channel and a fourth channel. The third channel is connected to the first door seal vent of the first drum and the first drying channel, respectively, and the fourth channel is connected to the second door seal vent of the second drum and the second drying channel, respectively. This implementation allows the first drying channel to be connected to the first drum via the third channel, and the second drying channel to be connected to the second drum via the fourth channel.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the drying apparatus further includes a first fan and a second fan, the first fan connecting the first channel and the first drum, and the second fan connecting the second channel and the second drum. The first fan connects the first channel and the first drum, allowing gas to flow between them, and the second fan connects the second channel and the second drum, allowing gas to flow between them.

[0014] In some possible implementations, the first fan is located on the side of the first roller away from the second roller, and the second fan is located behind the second roller and above and to the side of the first roller. This arrangement allows for more efficient use of the surrounding space of the first and second rollers.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the drying module further includes a first heat exchange component disposed in the first drying channel and a second heat exchange component disposed in the second drying channel. The first heat exchange component is configured to dehumidify and heat the gas flowing through the first drying channel, and the second heat exchange component is configured to dehumidify and heat the gas flowing through the second drying channel. This implementation can dehumidify and heat the gas in the first and second drying channels, and the two heat exchange components can independently process the gas in the first and second drying channels without interference.

[0016] In some possible implementations, the first heat exchange assembly includes a first condenser and a first evaporator, wherein the first evaporator is used to dehumidify the gas entering the first drying channel to remove moisture from the gas in the first drying channel, and the first condenser is used to heat the dehumidified gas; and / or

[0017] The second heat exchange assembly includes a second condenser and a second evaporator. The second evaporator is used to dehumidify the gas entering the second drying channel to remove moisture from the gas in the second drying channel. The second condenser is used to heat the dehumidified gas.

[0018] In some possible implementations, the first fan is configured to draw gas from the first drum through the first door seal vent and allow it to flow sequentially through the third channel, the first drying channel, the first fan, and the first channel before returning to the first drum. This allows the first fan to draw gas from the first drum, dehumidify and heat it before introducing it back into the first drum to dry the clothes inside; and / or

[0019] The second fan is configured to draw gas from the second drum through the second door seal vent and flow sequentially through the fourth channel, the second drying channel, the second fan, and back to the second drum. This allows the second fan to draw gas from the second drum, dehumidify and heat it before introducing it back into the second drum to dry the clothes inside.

[0020] According to the above technical solution, the garment processing equipment includes a first drum, a second drum, and a drying device. The second drum is located above and to the side of the first drum, and the diameter of the first drum is smaller than that of the second drum. The drying device includes a drying module located above the first drum and on the opposite side of the second drum. The drying module includes a first drying channel and a second drying channel that are independent of each other. The drying device also includes a first channel extending to the rear of the first drum and a second channel extending to the rear of the second drum. The first drying channel is connected to the first drum through the first channel, and the second drying channel is connected to the second drum through the second channel. Through the aforementioned independent first drying channel and second drying channel, gas exchange between the first drum and the second drum during drying can be avoided, and cross-contamination of gases and bacteria between the first drum and the second drum can be avoided, resulting in more thorough hygiene isolation.

[0021] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0030] In this disclosure, directions are defined for the garment processing equipment. The up-down direction refers to the up-down movement of the garment processing equipment during actual use; the left-right direction refers to the direction of the user's left and right hands when facing the garment processing equipment during actual use; and the front-back direction refers to the front-back movement of the garment processing equipment during actual use. The rotational axis of both the first and second rollers extends along the front-back direction. Unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the component or structure itself. Terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not indicate sequence or importance.

[0031] This disclosure provides a garment processing device, including but not limited to a washing machine. For example... Figures 1 to 4As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a first roller 10, a second roller 20, and a drying device 30. The second roller 20 is located above and to the side of the first roller 10, and the diameter of the second roller 20 is smaller than that of the first roller 10. The drying device 30 includes a drying module 31 located above the first roller 10 and to the side of the second roller 20. The drying module 31 includes a first drying channel 311 and a second drying channel 312 that are independent of each other. The drying device 30 also includes a first channel 32 extending to the rear of the first roller 10 and a second channel 33 extending to the rear of the second roller 20. The first drying channel 311 is connected to the first roller 10 through the first channel 32, and the second drying channel 312 is connected to the second roller 20 through the second channel 33.

[0032] In the above embodiments, the first drying channel 311 and the second drying channel 312 are independent of each other, which can isolate the gas used for drying the first drum 10 and the gas used for drying the second drum 20 from each other, prevent gas exchange, avoid cross-contamination of gas and bacteria between the first drum 10 and the second drum 20, and make the hygiene isolation more thorough.

[0033] It should be noted that the first drying channel 311 is used for dehumidifying and heating the gas introduced into the first drum 10, and the second drying channel 312 is used for dehumidifying and heating the gas introduced into the second drum 20. The specific treatment of the gas will be described below.

[0034] In some embodiments, to better illustrate the positional relationship of the components, a first plane A can be defined, wherein the first plane A is a plane passing through the rotation center axis of the first roller 10 and parallel to the vertical direction, wherein the second roller 20 is located on one side of the first plane A (e.g., one of the left and right sides), and at least part of the drying module 31 is located on the opposite side of the first plane A (e.g., the other of the right and left sides). This arrangement makes the weight distribution of the garment processing equipment more uniform in the left and right directions, which is beneficial to the stable operation of the garment processing equipment.

[0035] Furthermore, it should be noted that the drying module 31 can also be combined with other mechanisms in the garment processing equipment to jointly participate in the counterweight between the second drum 20. For example, other mechanisms can be detergent dispensing boxes, dedicated counterweights, etc., and there are no restrictions here.

[0036] It should be understood that the garment processing equipment also includes a housing 100, and the first roller 10, the second roller 20, and the drying device 30 are all located inside the housing 100.

[0037] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second drying channel 312 is located between the first drying channel 311 and the second drum 20, so that the second drying channel 312 is closer to the second drum 20, reducing the length of the pipe connecting the second drying channel 312 to the second drum 20. For example, as mentioned above, the second drying channel 312 can be connected to the second drum 20 through the second channel 33. When the second drying channel 312 is closer to the second drum 20, the length of the second channel 33 can be reduced, thereby saving pipe length and cost.

[0038] Furthermore, based on the fact that the second drying channel 312 is located between the first drying channel 311 and the second roller 20, the first channel 32 can extend from the first drying channel 311 toward the side away from the second roller 20, and the second channel 33 can extend from the second drying channel 312 toward the second roller 20. This can avoid interference between the first channel 32 and the second channel 33, so that the spatial layout of the second channel 33 and the second channel 33 in the housing 100 of the garment processing equipment is more reasonable.

[0039] It should be noted that the aforementioned extension of the first channel 32 from the first drying channel 311 toward the side away from the second drum 20 and the extension of the second channel 33 from the second drying channel 312 toward the second drum 20 refer to a general trend in the extension of the first channel 32 and the second channel 33. For example, while extending toward the side away from the second drum 20, the first channel 32 can also adaptively extend downwards (i.e., toward the direction of the first drum 10). Similarly, while extending toward the second drum 20, the second channel 33 can also adaptively extend toward the rear of the second drum 20; this is not limited here.

[0040] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drying device 30 also includes a third channel 36 and a fourth channel 37. The third channel 36 is connected to the first door seal vent 11 of the first drum 10 and the first drying channel 311, respectively, so that the first drying channel 311 is also connected to the first drum 10 through the third channel 36. The second channel 33 is connected to the second door seal vent 21 of the second drum 20 and the second drying channel 312, respectively, so that the second drying channel 312 is also connected to the second drum 20 through the fourth channel 37.

[0041] In the above embodiments, the first door seal vent 11 is a vent located at the door seal of the first roller 10 and communicating with the interior of the first roller 10, and the second door seal vent 21 is a vent located at the door seal of the second roller 20 and communicating with the interior of the second roller 20. These will not be described in detail here.

[0042] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the drying device 30 also includes a first fan 34 and a second fan 35. The first fan 34 is used to connect the first channel 32 and the first drum 10, enabling gas to flow between the first channel 32 and the first drum 10. The second fan 35 is used to connect the second channel 33 and the second drum 20, enabling gas to flow between the second channel 33 and the second drum 20.

[0043] In some embodiments, one end of the first drying channel 311 is connected to the first drum 10 via the first channel 32 and the first fan 34, and the other end of the first drying channel 311 is connected to the first drum 10 via the third channel 36, so that the third channel 36, the first drying channel 311, the first channel 32 and the first fan 34 form a drying circuit of the first drum 10. The gas used for drying clothes in the first drum 10 can circulate between the drying circuits of the first drum 10. The end of the third channel 36 away from the first drying channel 311 is connected to the first door vent 11 of the first drum 10, and the end of the first fan 34 away from the first channel 32 can be connected to the rear area of ​​the first drum 10 via the fifth channel 391. With this arrangement, the flow path of the gas used for drying in the first drum 10 is longer in the front-back direction of the first drum 10, so that the drying gas can fill the entire space of the first drum 10 more quickly, which is convenient for quickly drying the clothes in the first drum 10.

[0044] For example, when the first fan 34 is working, it can allow gas to enter the first drying channel 311 through the third channel 36, and then the gas is processed in the first drying channel 311 before entering the first drum 10 through the first channel 32 and the first fan 34 to form a cycle; or, when the first fan 34 is working, it can allow gas to enter the first drying channel 311 through the first fan 34 and the first channel 32, and then the gas is processed in the first drying channel 311 before entering the first drum 10 through the third channel 36. There is no limitation here.

[0045] In some embodiments, one end of the second drying channel 312 is connected to the second drum 20 via the second channel 33 and the second fan 35, and the other end of the second drying channel 312 is connected to the second drum 20 via the fourth channel 37, so that the fourth channel 37, the second drying channel 312, the second channel 33 and the second fan 35 form a drying circuit of the second drum 20. The gas used for drying clothes in the second drum 20 can circulate between the drying circuits of the second drum 20. The end of the fourth channel 37 away from the second drying channel 312 is connected to the second door vent 21 of the second drum 20, and the end of the second fan 35 away from the second channel 33 is connected to the rear area of ​​the second drum 20 via the sixth channel 392. With this arrangement, the flow path of the gas used for drying in the second drum 20 is longer in the front-to-back direction of the second drum 20, so that the drying gas can fill the entire space of the second drum 20 more quickly, which is convenient for quickly drying the clothes in the second drum 20.

[0046] For example, when the second fan 35 is working, the gas in the second drum 20 can enter the second drying channel 312 through the fourth channel 37. Then, after being processed in the second drying channel 312, the gas can enter the second drum 20 again through the second channel 33 and the second fan 35 to form a cycle. Alternatively, when the second fan 35 is working, the gas can enter the second drying channel 312 through the second fan 35 and the second channel 33. Then, after being processed in the second drying channel 312, the gas can enter the first drum 10 through the fourth channel 37. There are no restrictions here.

[0047] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first fan 34 is located on the side of the first roller 10 away from the second roller 20, and the second fan 35 is located behind the second roller 20 and above the side of the first roller 10, which can make more reasonable use of the surrounding space of the first roller 10 and the second roller 20.

[0048] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, the end of the second fan 35 away from the second channel 33 can be connected to the rear area of ​​the second drum 20 through the fifth channel 391. The connection between the fifth channel 391 and the second drum 20 can be located on the side of the second drum 20 away from the drying module 31. That is, the connection between the fifth channel 391 and the second drum 20 is located between the second drum 20 and the side wall of the box 100 adjacent to the second drum 20 in the left and right direction, so as to make more reasonable use of the surrounding space of the second drum 20.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first drying channel 311 and the second drying channel 312 can be formed in any suitable form. For example, the drying module 31 may include a housing 313, within which a partition 314 is provided to divide the housing 313 into the first drying channel 311 and the second drying channel 312. This arrangement allows the second drying channel 312 to be more concentrated in the housing 100 of the garment processing equipment, saving space in the housing 100 of the garment processing equipment.

[0050] In some embodiments, the drying module 31 further includes a first heat exchange component 315 disposed in the first drying channel 311 and a second heat exchange component 316 disposed in the second drying channel 312. The first heat exchange component 315 is configured to dehumidify and heat the gas flowing through the first drying channel 311, and the second heat exchange component 316 is configured to dehumidify and heat the gas flowing through the second drying channel 312. The two heat exchange components allow the gases in the first drying channel 311 and the second drying channel 312 to be processed independently without interference.

[0051] In the above embodiments, when the first fan 34 draws gas from the first drum 10 into the first drying channel 311, the gas typically has a high moisture content. Dehumidifying the gas in the first drying channel 311 using the first heat exchange component 315 reduces the moisture content. The dehumidified gas in the first drying channel 311 is then heated by the first heat exchange component 315 before being introduced into the first drum 10 for drying the clothes inside. Similarly, when the second fan 35 draws gas from the second drum 20 into the second drying channel 312, the gas typically has a high moisture content. Dehumidifying the gas in the second drying channel 312 using the second heat exchange component 316 reduces the moisture content. The dehumidified gas in the second drying channel 312 is then heated by the second heat exchange component 316 before being introduced into the second drum 20 for drying the clothes inside.

[0052] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first heat exchange assembly 315 includes a first condenser 3151 and a first evaporator 3152. The first evaporator 3152 is used to dehumidify the gas entering the first drying channel 311 so that the moisture in the gas condenses into liquid water and is discharged, thereby removing the moisture in the gas. The first condenser 3151 is used to heat the gas after the moisture is removed so that the gas temperature in the first drying channel 311 increases, and then the gas is introduced into the first drum 10 to dry the clothes in the first drum 10.

[0053] In the above embodiment, a first condensate drip tray (not shown) can be provided in the first drying channel 311. The first condensate drip tray can be connected to the drain pipe of the clothing processing equipment (e.g., a washing machine with drying function) through a pipe. The first condensate drip tray can be located below the first evaporator 3152. The water condensed by the first evaporator 3152 can be collected in the first condensate drip tray. The water in the first condensate drip tray is discharged into the drain pipe through a pipe.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second heat exchange assembly 316 includes a second condenser 3161 and a second evaporator 3162. The second evaporator 3162 is used to dehumidify the gas entering the second drying channel 312 so that the moisture in the gas condenses into liquid water and is discharged, thereby removing the moisture in the gas. The second condenser 3161 is used to heat the gas after the moisture has been removed so that the temperature of the gas in the second drying channel 312 increases, and then the gas is introduced into the second drum 20 to dry the clothes in the second drum 20.

[0055] In the above embodiment, a second condensate drip tray (not shown) can be provided in the second drying channel 312. The second condensate drip tray can be connected to the drain pipe of the clothing processing equipment (e.g., a washing machine with drying function) through a pipe. The second condensate drip tray can be located below the second evaporator 3162. The water condensed by the second evaporator 3162 can be collected in the second condensate drip tray. The water in the second condensate drip tray is discharged into the drain pipe through a pipe.

[0056] In some embodiments, the drying device 30 is a heat pump drying device. The drying device 30 also includes a compressor 38 and an expansion valve (not shown in the figure) located in the housing 100 of the clothing processing equipment, as well as other components necessary for the heat pump system. There may be two expansion valves. After the refrigerant exits from the compressor 38, it can be divided into two paths: one path connects to the first condenser 3151, one of the two expansion valves, the first evaporator 3152, and then flows back to the compressor 38; the other path connects to the second condenser 3161, the other of the two expansion valves, the second evaporator 3162, and then flows back to the compressor 38.

[0057] In addition, in some possible implementations, the number of compressors 38 may also be two (the positions of the two compressors are not shown in the figure, but can be adjusted according to actual needs). The first condenser 3151, the first evaporator 3152, one of the two expansion valves and one of the two compressors 38 can form a heat pump cycle loop; the second condenser 3161, the second evaporator 3162, the other of the two expansion valves and the other of the two compressors 38 can form another heat pump cycle loop.

[0058] In some possible embodiments, the drying device 30 may also be an electrically heated drying device. In the case of an electrically heated drying device 30, the first heat exchange assembly 315 includes a first electric heater and a first condensing plate for condensing humid gas. The first condensing plate is used to dehumidify the gas entering the first drying channel 311, removing moisture from the gas. The first electric heater is used to heat the gas after moisture removal. The second heat exchange assembly 316 includes a second electric heater and a second condensing plate for condensing humid gas. The second condensing plate is used to dehumidify the gas entering the second drying channel 312, removing moisture from the gas. The second electric heater is used to heat the gas after moisture removal.

[0059] In the above embodiments, both the first and second condensing plates can be configured as coils for the flow of refrigerant (e.g., water). When the humid gas passes through the first or second condensing plate, it can condense into liquid water, allowing the first condensing plate to dehumidify the humid gas flowing through the first drying channel 311, and the second condensing plate to dehumidify the humid gas flowing through the second drying channel 312. Of course, the first and second condensing plates can also be replaced with other devices capable of condensing moisture in the gas; this is not limited here.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first fan 34 is configured to draw gas from the first drum 10 through the first door seal vent 11 and flow sequentially through the third channel 36, the first drying channel 311, the first channel 32 and the first fan 34 before flowing back to the first drum 10.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first fan 34 draws out the gas from the first drum 10, and after dehumidification and heating in the first drying channel 311, the gas is then introduced into the first drum 10 through the first channel 32 and the first fan 34 to dry the clothes in the first drum 10.

[0062] In some implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the end of the first fan 34 furthest from the first channel 32 can be connected to the rear part of the first drum 10 through the fifth channel 391. After flowing through the first fan 34, the gas in the first drum 10 can flow into the rear part of the second drum 20 through the fifth channel 391. In this case, the first evaporator 3152 provided in the first drying channel 311 can be set close to the third channel 36, and the first condenser 3151 provided in the first drying channel 311 can be set close to the first channel 32. The hot and humid gas drawn from the first drum 10 by the first fan 34 enters the first drying channel 311 through the third channel 36. After entering the first drying channel 311, the hot and humid gas first passes through the first evaporator 3152 to remove moisture from the gas, and then passes through the first condenser 3151 to heat the gas after the moisture has been removed. The heated gas can then flow back into the first drum 10 through the first channel 32, the first fan 34, and the fifth channel 391 to dry the clothes in the first drum 10.

[0063] In some embodiments, the second fan 35 is configured to draw gas from the second drum 20 through the second door seal and allow it to flow sequentially through the fourth channel 37, the second drying channel 312, the second channel 33, and the second fan 35 before returning to the second drum 20. This allows the second fan 35 to draw gas from the second drum 20, dehumidify and heat it in the first drying channel 311, and then send it back to the second drum 20 through the second channel 33 and the second fan 35 to dry the clothes in the second drum 20.

[0064] In some implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the end of the second fan 35 furthest from the second channel 33 can be connected to the rear of the second drum 20 via the sixth channel 392, and the connection between the sixth channel 392 and the second drum 20 is located between the second drum 20 and the side wall of the housing 100 adjacent to the second drum 20 in the left-right direction. In this case, the second evaporator 3162 provided in the second drying channel 312 can be located close to the fourth channel 37, and the second condenser 3161 provided in the second drying channel 312 can be located close to the second channel 33. The warm gas drawn from the second drum 20 by the second fan 35 first enters the second drying channel 312 through the fourth channel 37. The humid gas entering the second drying channel 312 first passes through the second evaporator 3162 to remove moisture from the gas, and then passes through the second condenser 3161 to heat the gas after the moisture has been removed. The heated gas can then pass through the second channel 33, the second fan 35, and the sixth channel 392 before being sent back to the second drum 20 to dry the clothes in the second drum 20.
