The filter assembly is mounted at the air outlet, and the scraping mechanism is located at the second end of the housing. The scraping mechanism is movable along the first direction toward the first end of the housing to push lint inside the housing toward the air inlet of the housing. The scraping mechanism is provided with a rolling member that contacts the housing and is capable of rolling along the housing, so that the scraping mechanism can move smoothly along the first direction relative to the housing.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the above-described lint collection device, the scraping mechanism includes a scraping component and a handle, the rolling component is disposed on the scraping component and / or the handle, the scraping component is located inside the housing, and the handle is located outside the housing.

[0009] The scraping member is provided with a first component, and the handle is provided with a second component. At least one of the first component and the second component has a magnetic force, so that the first component and the second component attract each other, thereby enabling the handle to drive the scraping member to move together along the first direction toward the first end of the housing, thereby enabling the scraping member to push the lint inside the housing toward the air inlet.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned lint collection device, the outer shell is provided with a first guide structure and the handle is provided with a second guide structure. The first guide structure and the second guide structure cooperate to enable the handle to move only in the first direction.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned wire chip collection device, the wire chip collection device further includes a first guide member disposed on the scraping member and a second guide member disposed on the housing.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned lint collection device, the scraping member is provided with a strip-shaped channel extending along the first direction, the first guiding member includes a plurality of strip-shaped ribs extending along the first direction disposed on the inner wall of the strip-shaped channel, the plurality of strip-shaped ribs are distributed circumferentially at intervals along the strip-shaped channel and together form the guiding channel, the second guiding member is a guide rod extending along the first direction, the guide rod is adapted to the guiding channel and passes through the guiding channel.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned wire scraping device, the scraping member is provided with a through hole for the guide rod to pass through. The through hole is located at one end of the strip channel near the first end of the housing. The diameter of the through hole matches the diameter of the guide rod so that the scraping member can scrape the wire scraping off the guide rod.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned lint collection device, the scraping component includes a body and a flexible scraper disposed on the body. The flexible scraper is arranged in a circle along the edge of the body and contacts the inner wall of the housing and the filter assembly. The first component is installed on the body.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the above-described lint collection device, the rolling member includes a first rolling member disposed on the handle, the first rolling member contacting the outer surface of the housing and capable of rolling along the outer surface of the housing, so that the handle can move smoothly relative to the housing along the first direction; and / or the rolling member includes a second rolling member disposed on the scraping member, the second rolling member contacting the inner surface of the housing and capable of rolling along the inner surface of the housing, so that the scraping member can move smoothly relative to the housing along the first direction.

[0016] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned lint collection device, both the first component and the second component are magnets; and / or the first rolling component is a roller, ball bearing, or drum; and / or the first direction is the length direction of the outer casing.

[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a garment processing device, including the aforementioned lint collection device.

[0018] With the above technical solution, the lint collection device of this utility model has a scraping mechanism on the outer shell. When it is necessary to clean the lint inside the shell, the scraping mechanism can push the lint inside the shell toward the air inlet of the shell, which is convenient for cleaning the lint and helps to improve the cleaning efficiency and enhance the user experience. In addition, the scraping mechanism can also scrape the lint off the filter screen. Furthermore, by setting a rolling component on the scraping mechanism to roll along the outer shell, the friction between the scraping mechanism and the outer shell can be reduced, making the scraping mechanism move more smoothly, making the user operation less strenuous and the user experience better.

[0019] Furthermore, by setting a first component and a second component on the scraping component and the handle respectively, the scraping component can be moved by the attraction between the first component and the second component, without the need for the handle to directly contact the scraping component, which can effectively avoid air leakage and wire shavings leakage.

[0020] Furthermore, this utility model guides the handle by setting a first guide structure and a second guide structure, which facilitates the operation of the handle to move with the scraping component and prevents the handle from deviating.

[0021] Furthermore, by providing a first guide member and a second guide member on the scraping member and the outer casing respectively, this utility model can prevent the scraping member from shifting during movement, thereby enabling the scraping member to effectively clean up lint.

[0022] Furthermore, this utility model, by setting a strip-shaped channel on the scraping component and setting multiple spaced strip-shaped ribs in the strip-shaped channel to guide and cooperate with the guide rod, helps to prevent the scraping component and the guide rod from getting stuck due to wire debris near the guide rod.

[0023] Furthermore, this invention provides a through hole on the front side of the scraping component, with the diameter of the through hole matching the diameter of the guide rod. This allows the scraping component to scrape away the wire debris on the guide rod, which is more conducive to preventing the wire debris near the guide rod from jamming the scraping component and the guide rod.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, although the embodiments described below are introduced in conjunction with a washer-dryer combo, the technical solution of the present invention is equally applicable to other types of clothing processing equipment, such as dryers.

[0044] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "top," "bottom," "left," and "right," which indicate direction or positional relationships, are based on the direction or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0045] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connect," and "install" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0046] Specifically, this utility model provides a washer-dryer combo machine, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the washer-dryer of this utility model includes a housing 1 and a clothes handling drum and a drying device installed inside the housing 1. The drying device can deliver hot air into the clothes handling drum to dry the clothes inside the clothes handling drum.

[0047] The garment handling drum includes an outer drum 2 and an inner drum that is rotatably installed in the outer drum 2. The drying device is directly connected to the outer drum 2. The inner drum is used to hold clothes. The inner drum wall is provided with multiple perforated structures. When the drying mode is executed, the perforated structures can be used for ventilation. When the washing mode is executed, the perforated structures can be used for water flow.

[0048] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drying device of this utility model includes a drying air duct 31, a fan 32, and a heat pump module. The air inlet of the drying air duct 31 is connected to one end of the outer cylinder 2, the air outlet of the drying air duct 31 is connected to the air intake of the fan 32, and the air exhaust of the fan 32 is connected to the other end of the outer cylinder 2. The evaporator and condenser of the heat pump module are installed inside the drying air duct 31, with the evaporator located upstream of the condenser.

[0049] The heat pump module also includes a compressor, refrigerant piping connecting the evaporator and condenser to the compressor, and a throttling element installed on the refrigerant piping. The compressor is located outside the drying duct 31.

[0050] For example, the drying air duct 31 is located above the outer cylinder 2. An air outlet is provided on the cylinder wall of the outer cylinder 2. The air outlet is close to the rear end of the outer cylinder 2. A window gasket 21 is installed at the cylinder opening of the outer cylinder 2. A return air port is provided on the window gasket 21. The air inlet of the drying air duct 31 is connected to the air outlet on the outer cylinder 2 through a corrugated pipe 33. The exhaust port of the fan 32 is connected to the return air port on the window gasket 21 through a rubber tube 34.

[0051] When the drying mode is executed, the fan 32 is started, and the humid air in the clothes handling drum is discharged through the air outlet on the outer drum 2 and enters the drying air duct 31. After being condensed and dehumidified by the evaporator, the air is heated by the condenser and then flows back to the clothes handling drum through the return air vent on the window pad 21, completing one cycle.

[0052] It should be noted that this utility model is not limited to placing the drying air duct 31 above the clothes processing drum. For example, the drying air duct 31 can also be placed below or behind the outer drum 2. Such adjustments and changes to the specific installation position of the drying air duct 31 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model. Of course, this utility model preferably places the drying air duct 31 above the clothes processing drum, which is beneficial for making full use of the space above the clothes processing drum and optimizing the layout.

[0053] Furthermore, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can also interchange the positions of the air outlet and the air return on the outer cylinder 2, so that the front end of the clothing treatment cylinder is the outlet and the rear end is the inlet. Alternatively, the air outlet can be set on the rear wall of the outer cylinder 2, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0054] Furthermore, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can also omit the heat pump module in practical applications and use other types of dehumidifying and heating components to dehumidify and heat the airflow in the drying duct 31. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0055] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the washer-dryer of this utility model also includes a lint collection device 4, which is installed inside the drying air duct 31.

[0056] The lint collection device 4 is used to filter the airflow entering the drying duct 31. When the airflow in the drying duct 31 flows through the lint collection device 4, the lint and other impurities carried by the airflow are intercepted by the lint collection device 4. The filtered lint is stored in the lint collection device 4. The lint collection device 4 is preferably located upstream of the evaporator.

[0057] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lint collection device 4 of this utility model is detachably installed in the drying air duct 31. The drying air duct 31 is provided with an insertion interface 3111, and the lint collection device 4 is inserted into the drying air duct 31 through the insertion interface 3111.

[0058] When it is necessary to clean the lint in the lint collection device 4, the lint collection device 4 can be removed from the drying air duct 31. A pressure sensor can be installed upstream and downstream of the lint collection device 4. The pressure difference between the two sensors determines whether the lint collection device 4 needs cleaning. When cleaning is required, a prompt message can be sent to the user to remind them to clean the lint collection device 4.

[0059] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can set the connector 3111 on the side of the drying duct 31, or the connector 3111 on the top surface of the drying duct 31, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting position of the connector 3111 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model, and should all be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0060] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drying air duct 31 is provided with an interface 3111 on the side facing the front panel of the housing 1. The front panel is provided with a disassembly port opposite to the interface 3111, and the lint collection device 4 can be pulled out from the disassembly port.

[0061] When it is necessary to clean the lint collection device 4, the user can pull out the lint collection device 4 from the disassembly port on the front panel of the housing 1 for easy operation. After cleaning the lint collection device 4, the user can then insert the lint collection device 4 back in through the disassembly port.

[0062] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the drying air duct 31 of this utility model includes a first air duct 311 and a second air duct 312 that are connected to each other. The first air duct 311 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the second air duct 312 extends in the left-to-right direction and is close to the front end of the clothes processing drum. The air inlet of the drying air duct 31 is located in the first air duct 311, and the air outlet of the drying air duct 31 is located in the second air duct 312. The lint collection device 4 is installed in the first air duct 311, and the evaporator and condenser of the heat pump module are installed in the second air duct 312.

[0063] For example, both the first air duct 311 and the second air duct 312 are located above the outer cylinder 2. The first air duct 311 is located at the upper left of the outer cylinder 2 and extends from the rear end of the outer cylinder 2 to the front end. An air inlet is provided on the bottom wall of the rear end of the first air duct 311. An air outlet on the outer cylinder 2 is located directly below the air inlet. The air outlet is connected to the upper air inlet through a corrugated pipe 33. An insertion interface 3111 is provided at the front end of the first air duct 311. The lint collection device 4 is inserted into the first air duct 311 from the front end of the first air duct 311. The left end of the second air duct 312 is connected to the first air duct 311. An air outlet is provided at the right end of the second air duct 312. A fan 32 is located at the upper right of the outer cylinder 2. The air inlet of the fan 32 is connected to the air outlet on the second air duct 312.

[0064] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art may also place the first air duct 311 on the upper right of the clothing processing drum, and correspondingly place the fan 32 on the upper left of the clothing processing drum. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model, and should all be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0065] Of course, in this utility model, the first air duct 311 is preferably located at the upper left of the outer cylinder 2. A detergent dispensing device is generally also provided at the upper left corner. In this utility model, the first air duct 311 is preferably located directly above the detergent dispensing device.

[0066] Preferably, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the lint collection device 4 of this utility model includes a housing 41 and a filter assembly installed on the housing 41. The housing 41 has an air inlet 411 at its first end along a first direction, and an air outlet 412 between the first end and the second end of the housing 41. The filter assembly is installed at the air outlet 412.

[0067] For example, the outer shell 41 is a cuboid structure, with the first direction being the length direction of the outer shell 41. The first end of the outer shell 41 has an air inlet 411, and the second end of the outer shell 41 is sealed. An air outlet 412 is located on the side plate between the first end and the second end. A filter assembly is installed at the air outlet 412. After the airflow enters the first air duct 311, it enters the outer shell 41 from the air inlet 411 and then exits from the air outlet 412 before entering the second air duct 312. When the airflow passes through the filter assembly at the air outlet 412, the lint carried by the airflow is intercepted by the filter assembly and remains inside the outer shell 41.

[0068] Preferably, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the filter assembly of this utility model includes a first filter assembly and a second filter assembly. The first filter assembly and the second filter assembly are both installed at the air outlet 412 of the housing 41 and are distributed at intervals. Furthermore, along the airflow direction, the first filter assembly is located upstream of the second filter assembly.

[0069] In other words, the second filter component is located outside the first filter component. The airflow entering the housing 41 first flows through the first filter component for filtration, and then flows through the second filter component for filtration. By setting two filters, the filtration effect of the lint collection device 4 can be improved.

[0070] Preferably, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the first filter assembly of this utility model includes a first bracket 451 and a first filter screen (not shown in the figure) mounted on the first bracket 451.

[0071] The first bracket 451 is used to support the first filter screen, and the first filter screen is laid flat on the first bracket 451.

[0072] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first filter assembly of this utility model can be pulled out from the top of the housing 41.

[0073] For example, the top cover 414 of the housing 41 can be removed from the housing 41. The housing 41 is provided with a vertically extending first slot and a second slot. The first slot and the second slot are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction. The first bracket 451 of the first filter assembly can be inserted from top to bottom between the first slot and the second slot, and can also be pulled out from between the first slot and the second slot to remove the first filter assembly from the housing 41.

[0074] Preferably, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the second filter assembly includes a second bracket 452 and a second filter screen (not shown) mounted on the second bracket 452.

[0075] The second bracket 452 is used to support the second filter screen, which is laid flat on the second bracket 452.

[0076] Preferably, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second filter assembly of this utility model can move relative to the housing 41 along the first direction, and the second filter assembly can be pulled out from the first end of the housing 41.

[0077] For example, the housing 41 is provided with a third slot and a fourth slot extending in a first direction. The third slot and the fourth slot are arranged opposite each other in a vertical direction. The second bracket 452 of the second filter assembly can be inserted between the third slot and the fourth slot from right to left, and can also be pulled out from between the third slot and the fourth slot to remove the second filter assembly from the housing 41.

[0078] Preferably, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the first filter assembly is provided with a first scraping structure 453 at its first end along the first direction. The first scraping structure 453 extends from the first filter assembly toward the second filter assembly. The second filter assembly is provided with a second scraping structure 454 at its second end along the first direction. The second scraping structure 454 extends from the second filter assembly toward the first filter assembly. The first scraping structure 453 and the second scraping structure 454 are respectively located near the first end and the second end of the housing 41. During the process of pulling the second filter assembly outward, the first scraping structure 453 and the second scraping structure 454 can respectively scrape off the lint on the second filter assembly and the first filter assembly.

[0079] The first scraping structure 453 is disposed on the first support 451 of the first filter assembly, and the second scraping structure 454 is disposed on the second support 452 of the second filter assembly. Figure 6 Looking at the top, the first scraping structure 453 is located at the right end of the first bracket 451, and the second scraping structure 454 is located at the left end of the second bracket 452. When the second filter component is pulled outward, the second filter component moves from left to right along the first direction. The first scraping structure 453 can scrape off the lint on the inner side of the second filter screen, and the second scraping structure 454 can scrape off the lint on the outer side of the first filter screen.

[0080] Preferably, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first scraping structure 453 of this utility model includes a first scraper 4531 and a first flexible scraper 4532 disposed on the side of the first scraper 4531 near the second filter assembly.

[0081] For example, the first scraper 4531 is disposed on the first support 451 of the first filter assembly. The first scraper 4531 is fixedly connected to or integrally disposed with the first support 451. The first scraper 4531 extends from the first support 451 toward the second filter assembly. A first flexible scraper 4532 is disposed at the end of the first scraper 4531 away from the first support 451. The first flexible scraper 4532 contacts the second filter screen of the second filter assembly. During the process of pulling the second filter assembly outward, the first flexible scraper 4532 scrapes off the lint on the second filter screen.

[0082] Preferably, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the second scraping structure 454 of this utility model includes a second scraper 4541 and a second flexible scraper 4542 disposed on the side of the second scraper 4541 near the first filter assembly.

[0083] For example, the second scraper 4541 is disposed on the second bracket 452 of the second filter assembly. The second scraper 4541 is fixedly connected to or integrally disposed with the second bracket 452. The second scraper 4541 extends from the second bracket 452 toward the first filter assembly. A second flexible scraper 4542 is disposed at the end of the second scraper 4541 away from the second bracket 452. The second flexible scraper 4542 contacts the first filter screen of the first filter assembly. During the process of pulling the second filter assembly outward, the second flexible scraper 4542 scrapes off the lint on the first filter screen.

[0084] Preferably, the mesh count of the second filter screen is greater than that of the first filter screen.

[0085] In other words, the airflow entering the outer casing 41 first passes through the first filter screen for coarse filtration, and then passes through the second filter screen for fine filtration, which can further improve the filtration effect of the lint collection device 4.

[0086] Preferably, such as Figures 3 to 15 As shown, the wire scraping collection device 4 of this utility model also includes a scraping mechanism. The scraping mechanism is located at the second end of the housing 41. The scraping mechanism can move along the first direction toward the first end of the housing 41 to push the wire scraping inside the housing 41 toward the air inlet 411 of the housing 41.

[0087] By providing a scraping mechanism inside the housing 41, when it is necessary to clean the lint inside the housing 41, the scraping mechanism can push the lint inside the housing 41 toward the air inlet 411 of the housing 41, which facilitates the cleaning of lint, improves the cleaning effect of lint, and enhances the user experience. In addition, as the scraping mechanism moves toward the first end of the housing 41, it can also scrape off the lint on the filter assembly (specifically the first filter).

[0088] Preferably, such as Figures 3 to 15As shown, the scraping mechanism of this utility model includes a scraping component 421 and a handle 422. The handle 422 is used to drive the scraping component 421 to move along a first direction toward the first end of the housing 41.

[0089] The scraping component 421 is located inside the housing 41. When it is necessary to clean the lint inside the housing 41, the scraping component 421 can be driven to move toward the first end of the housing 41 by the handle 422. The scraping component 421 pushes the lint inside the housing 41 toward the air inlet 411. Preferably, the scraping component 421 is made to fit against the inner wall of the housing 41 to improve the cleaning effect of the lint.

[0090] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the specific structural form of the scraping component 421. For example, the scraping component 421 can be set as a plate structure, a block structure, or a frame structure, etc.

[0091] Preferably, such as Figures 3 to 15 As shown, the scraping component 421 of this utility model is located inside the outer shell 41. A first component 431 is provided on the scraping component 421. The handle 422 is located outside the outer shell 41. A second component 432 is provided on the handle 422. At least one of the first component 431 and the second component 432 has magnetic force so that the first component 431 and the second component 432 attract each other, thereby enabling the handle 422 to drive the scraping component 421 to move along the first direction toward the first end of the outer shell 41.

[0092] In other words, the handle 422 does not contact the scraping member 421. This eliminates the need to make holes in the housing 41 to connect the handle 422 and the scraping member 421. This design avoids air leakage, which helps ensure drying efficiency and prevents lint from leaking out.

[0093] For example, the handle 422 is located on the top of the housing 41 and is mounted on the top cover 414 of the housing 41.

[0094] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art can set one of the first component 431 and the second component 432 as a magnet or electromagnet, and set the other of the first component 431 and the second component 432 as a metal component (such as an iron block) that can generate an attractive force with a magnet. Alternatively, both the first component 431 and the second component 432 can be set as magnets or electromagnets, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0095] Preferably, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, both the first component 431 and the second component 432 are magnets.

[0096] By setting both the first component 431 and the second component 432 as magnets, the attraction between the first component 431 and the second component 432 is stronger, which is conducive to the smooth movement of the handle 422 with the scraping component 421.

[0097] Preferably, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the present invention has a first guide structure 413 on the outer shell 41 and a second guide structure 4221 on the handle 422. The first guide structure 413 and the second guide structure 4221 cooperate to make the handle 422 only able to move back and forth in the first direction.

[0098] The handle 422 is guided and limited by the first guide structure 413 and the second guide structure 4221, which facilitates the operation of the handle 422.

[0099] For example, the first guide structure 413 is disposed on the top cover 414 of the housing 41. With the cooperation of the first guide structure 413 and the second guide structure 4221, the handle 422 can only move along the length direction of the housing 41, and cannot move along the width direction of the housing 41 or along the height direction of the housing 41.

[0100] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the specific structural form of the first guide structure 413 and the second guide structure 4221. For example, the first guide structure 413 and the second guide structure 4221 can be configured as a structure in which the guide groove and the guide rib cooperate, or as a structure in which the guide rod and the guide hole cooperate, or as a structure in which the guide groove and the guide post cooperate, etc.

[0101] Preferably, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, a strip-shaped groove 415 is provided on the top of the outer shell 41. The strip-shaped groove 415 extends along the first direction. The first guide structure 413 is a guide groove formed on the side wall of the strip-shaped groove 415. The guide groove extends along the first direction. The second guide structure 4221 is a guide rib adapted to the guide groove. The guide rib is inserted into the guide groove.

[0102] For example, a strip groove 415 is formed on the upper surface of the top cover 414 and extends along the length of the top cover 414. A guide groove is formed on each of the two side walls of the strip groove 415. A guide rib is provided on each side of the handle 422, and the two guide ribs are respectively inserted into the corresponding guide grooves.

[0103] Preferably, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the scraping mechanism of this utility model is provided with a rolling member. The rolling member contacts the outer shell and can roll along the outer shell, so that the scraping mechanism can move smoothly relative to the outer shell along the first direction.

[0104] By setting a rolling component on the scraping mechanism to roll along the outer casing 41, the friction between the scraping mechanism and the outer casing 41 can be reduced, allowing the scraping mechanism to move more smoothly relative to the outer casing 41, making it easier for the user and more convenient to operate.

[0105] It should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art may provide a rolling member on only one of the scraping member 421 and the handle 422, or they may provide a rolling member on both the scraping member 421 and the handle 422.

[0106] Preferably, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the rolling member includes a first rolling member 423 disposed on the handle 422. The first rolling member 423 contacts the outer surface of the housing 41 and can roll along the outer surface of the housing 41 so that the handle 422 can move smoothly relative to the housing 41 in a first direction.

[0107] By setting a first rolling member 423 on the handle 422 to roll along the outer shell 41, the friction between the handle 422 and the outer shell 41 can be reduced, so that the handle 422 can move more smoothly relative to the outer shell 41, which saves the user effort and makes operation more convenient.

[0108] For example, the first rolling member 423 is a roller. Four rollers are installed on the handle 422. The four rollers are located at the four corners of the handle 422 respectively. Rotating shafts are provided on both sides of the rollers. The rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the handle 422. All four rollers are located in the strip groove 415 of the top cover 414. All four rollers are in contact with the bottom wall of the strip groove 415 and can roll along the bottom wall of the strip groove 415.

[0109] It should be noted that the number of rollers is not limited to the four mentioned above. For example, it can also be set to one, two, three or more, etc. In addition, the first rolling member 423 is not limited to the rollers mentioned above. For example, it can also be set to a ball or a roller, etc.

[0110] Preferably, such as Figure 4 and Figure 11As shown, the rolling member includes a second rolling member 424 disposed on the scraping member 421. The second rolling member 424 contacts the inner surface of the housing 41 and is able to roll along the inner surface of the housing 41 so that the scraping member 421 can move smoothly relative to the housing 41 in the first direction.

[0111] For example, the second rolling member 424 is also a roller. Two rollers are installed on the top of the scraping member 421. Rotating shafts are provided on both sides of the rollers. The rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the scraping member 421. Both rollers are in contact with the inner surface of the top cover 414 and can roll along the inner surface of the top cover 414.

[0112] It should be noted that the number of rollers is not limited to the two mentioned above. For example, it can also be set to one, three, four or more, etc. In addition, the second rolling member 424 is not limited to the rollers mentioned above. For example, it can also be set to a ball or a roller, etc.

[0113] Preferably, such as Figure 5 , Figures 11 to 15 As shown, the lint collecting device 4 of this utility model also includes a guiding mechanism, which is used to guide the scraping mechanism as it moves along the first direction.

[0114] Specifically, the guiding mechanism is used to guide the scraping component 421 of the scraping mechanism so that the scraping component 421 can only move in the first direction.

[0115] Preferably, such as Figure 5 , Figures 11 to 15 As shown, the guiding mechanism of this utility model includes a first guiding member disposed on the scraping member 421 and a second guiding member 44 disposed on the outer shell 41. The first guiding member and the second guiding member 44 are guided and cooperated to guide the scraping member 421 as it moves along the first direction.

[0116] For example, the scraping member 421 is provided with two first guide members, which are located at the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the scraping member 421, respectively. Inside the housing 41, there are two second guide members 44, which are located at the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the housing 41.

[0117] It should be noted that the number of the first guide member and the number of the second guide member 44 are not limited to the two mentioned above. For example, they can also be set to one, three or four, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0118] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in practical applications, those skilled in the art may configure the first guide member and the second guide member 44 as a structure in which the guide rod and the guide cylinder cooperate, or as a structure in which the guide rod and the guide hole cooperate, or as a structure in which the guide groove and the guide plate cooperate, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structural forms of the first guide member and the second guide member 44 do not deviate from the principles and scope of this utility model and should all be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.

[0119] Preferably, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 11 to 16 As shown, the scraping component 421 of this utility model is provided with a strip channel 42111 extending along the first direction. The first guide component includes a plurality of strip ribs 42112 extending along the first direction and disposed on the inner wall of the strip channel 42111. The plurality of strip ribs 42112 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the strip channel 42111 and together form the guide channel. The second guide component 44 is a guide rod extending along the first direction. The guide rod is adapted to the guide channel and passes through the guide channel.

[0120] During the movement of the scraping component 421 along the first direction, the scraping component 421 is prevented from shifting due to the cooperation of multiple strip-shaped ribs 42112 and the guide rod.

[0121] By setting a strip channel 42111 on the scraping member 421 and setting multiple spaced strip ribs 42112 in the strip channel 42111 to guide and cooperate with the guide rod, it is beneficial to prevent the scraping member 421 and the guide rod from getting stuck due to wire debris near the guide rod.

[0122] Specifically, multiple strip-shaped ribs 42112 are distributed circumferentially along the strip channel 42111. A chip removal groove 42114 is formed between two adjacent strip-shaped ribs 42112. During the process of the scraping member 421 moving along the guide rod, the wire chips that enter the strip channel 42111 will enter the chip removal groove 42114 to prevent the guide rod from getting stuck on the inner wall of the strip channel 42111.

[0123] For example, two guide rods are provided inside the housing 41, located at the upper left and lower right corners of the housing 41 respectively. The guide rods have a circular cross-section. The scraping member 421 has a strip channel 42111 at a position corresponding to the two guide rods. The strip channel 42111 has a circular cross-section. Each strip channel 42111 has four strip ribs 42112, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the strip channel 42111. Each strip rib 42112 protrudes from the inner wall of the strip channel 42111 toward the center of the strip channel 42111. The middle area of ​​the four strip ribs 42112 forms a guide channel. The guide rod is inserted into the guide channel, and the ends of the four strip ribs 42112 are in contact with the surface of the guide rod. Preferably, the ends of the strip ribs 42112 are provided with arc surfaces to increase the contact area with the guide rod.

[0124] It should be noted that the cross-section of the guide rod is not limited to a circle. For example, it can also be set to a square, etc. Of course, it is preferred to set it to a circle. In addition, the number of strip ribs 42112 is not limited to the four mentioned above. For example, it can also be set to two, three or more, of course, it is preferred to set it to four.

[0125] Preferably, such as Figure 4 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the scraping component 421 of this utility model is provided with a through hole 42113 for the guide rod to pass through. The through hole 42113 is located at one end of the strip channel 42111 near the first end of the outer shell 41. The diameter of the through hole 42113 matches the diameter of the guide rod so that the scraping component 421 can scrape off the lint on the guide rod.

[0126] The through hole 42113 is provided on the first end of the scraping member 421 near the outer shell 41. The diameter of the through hole 42113 can be equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the guide rod. In this way, it can prevent the wire debris from entering the strip channel 42111 of the scraping member 421. The scraping member 421 can push the wire debris on and near the guide rod forward.

[0127] Preferably, such as Figures 11 to 16 As shown, the scraping component 421 of this utility model includes a body 4211 and a flexible scraper 4212 disposed on the body 4211. The flexible scraper 4212 is disposed in a circle along the edge of the body 4211, and the flexible scraper 4212 contacts the inner wall of the outer shell 41 and the filter assembly (specifically the first filter assembly).

[0128] During the process of pushing the scraping member 421 toward the first end of the housing 41, the flexible scraper 4212 can scrape off the lint on the inner wall of the housing 41, and can also scrape off the lint on the first filter assembly (specifically the first filter screen), and push the lint inside the housing 41 toward the air inlet 411 through the body 4211 of the scraping member 421.

[0129] The first component 431 is disposed on the body 4211 of the scraping component 421, specifically on the top of the body 4211. The second rolling component 424 is also mounted on the body 4211. The first guide component (specifically, multiple strip-shaped ribs 42112) is also disposed on the body 4211. The strip-shaped channel 42111 and the through hole 42113 are also disposed on the body 4211.
