[0046] With the improvement of living standards, household dryers have gradually become an important device for clothing care due to their convenience. Traditional dryers remove moisture by drying at high temperatures, but prolonged high temperatures can easily cause wrinkles in clothes, requiring additional ironing. To address this, existing technologies have introduced ultrasonic atomization wrinkle removal solutions: high-frequency oscillating atomizing plates decompose water into micron-sized water mist, which is sprayed onto the surface of the clothing to moisten the fibers, and then combined with the drying process to smooth out wrinkles. However, this technology has significant drawbacks: during the dryer's operation, lint, debris, and other impurities generated by the friction of clothes inside the drum are easily carried by the airflow and adhere to the exposed atomizing plate surface. Long-term accumulation can lead to a decrease in atomization efficiency or even malfunction, requiring users to frequently disassemble and clean, seriously affecting the user experience and the lifespan of the device.

[0047] Existing solutions mostly rely on filter interception or regular cleaning and maintenance. However, filter designs can hinder atomization diffusion and cannot completely isolate micron-sized impurities. Frequent disassembly and reassembly of the atomization component increases operational complexity and maintenance costs. Therefore, an innovative protective structure is needed that can effectively block lint contamination in dynamic drying environments while ensuring atomization efficiency, thereby improving the reliability of the wrinkle removal function of dryers and enhancing the user experience.

[0048] This application provides a garment processing device to solve the problem that the atomizing device of existing clothes drying equipment easily accumulates lint and leads to failure. The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1-8 Please provide an explanation.

[0049] The garment processing equipment provided in this application embodiment is referenced. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the device includes a main body 100, an atomizing device 200, and a flip cover 300. The main body 100 forms a drying chamber 101. The atomizing device 200 is disposed on the main body 100, and the atomizing port 210 of the atomizing device 200 is disposed facing the drying chamber 101. The flip cover 300 is disposed corresponding to the atomizing port 210, and the flip cover 300 is adapted to flip from a first position to a second position under the action of water vapor sprayed from the atomizing port 210. In the first position, the flip cover 300 covers the atomizing port 210. In the second position, the flip cover 300 opens the atomizing port 210.

[0050] It is understood that in this embodiment, the device body 100 forms a drying chamber 101 for accommodating clothes that need to be dried. The atomizing device 200 is installed on the device body 100, with its atomizing port 210 facing the drying chamber 101. The atomizing device 200 can convert water into fine water mist particles through ultrasonic vibration or other means for humidifying and wrinkle-removing clothes.

[0051] The atomizing port 210 is externally equipped with a flip-up cover 300, which is directly driven to flip by the water vapor sprayed from the atomizing device 200. Users do not need to manually open the cover 300 before activating the atomizing function, nor do they need to worry about forgetting to close it; the opening and closing of the cover 300 is entirely controlled automatically by the atomizing process. Users only need to select the desired atomization program (such as steam treatment, humidification and drying), and the device will automatically handle the opening and closing of the cover 300, reducing operational complexity.

[0052] When atomization is not in operation, the flip cover 300 is closed to prevent impurities such as lint and debris from entering and clogging the atomization port 210. This ensures that the atomization port 210 is clean every time atomization is started. The opening and closing of the flip cover 300 is directly driven by the sprayed water vapor, eliminating the need for additional complex mechanical or electrical control structures such as motors, linkages, and sensors.

[0053] For example, when the atomizing device 200 starts working, it must generate a sufficiently high initial water vapor pressure to overcome the weight of the flip cover 300 itself, possible slight adhesive forces, and the force required to push the flip cover 300 open. This pressure can be tested and verified in advance. The flip cover 300 should be as lightweight as possible to reduce the inertial forces and gravity that need to be overcome.

[0054] In some embodiments, the water vapor ejected from the atomizing port 210 drives the flip cover 300 to flip to the second position. After the atomizing device 200 stops working, the flip cover 300 can automatically fall back to the first position under the action of gravity to cover the atomizing port 210.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the garment processing device is further provided with an elastic element (not shown in the figure), one end of which is connected to the flip cover 300 and the other end is connected to the device body 100 or the atomizing device 200, so as to drive the flip cover 300 to a first position when the atomizing device 200 stops working.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the atomizing device 200 stops working, the water vapor spray stops, and the force that pushes the flip cover 300 to open is lost. At this time, the elastic element will generate a force according to its installation method, pulling or pushing the flip cover 300 back to its initial closed position (first position), covering the atomizing port 210.

[0057] The elastic element can be a coil spring, leaf spring, etc. Compared with relying solely on gravity for the flip cover 300 to reset, the elastic element provides a more direct and reliable reset force. This ensures that the flip cover 300 can quickly and stably return to the closed state after atomization stops.

[0058] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the flip cover 300 is provided with a rotating shaft 310, which is hinged to the device body 100, and the flip cover 300 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 310.

[0059] The hinged and fixed connection ensures that the flip cover 300 can rotate smoothly and controllably about a fixed axis. This allows the flip cover 300 to be opened and closed, covering or exposing the atomizing port 210.

[0060] The water vapor acts on the flip cover 300, generating a torque that overcomes gravity, the elastic force of the elastic element, and the initial resistance of the limiting element, causing the flip cover 300 to rotate around the pivot 310 and open. When the water vapor stops, the torque generated by the elastic element causes the flip cover 300 to rotate around the pivot 310 and close the atomizing port 210.

[0061] In other embodiments, a small motor may be installed near the pivot 310 to drive the flip cover 300 to rotate via gears or other transmission mechanisms, thereby achieving more precise control.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the rotating shaft 310 is fitted with a torsion spring (not shown in the figure), which is used to drive the rotating shaft 310 to rotate when the atomizing device 200 stops working, so that the flip cover 300 moves to a first position.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the atomizing device 200 is operating, the water vapor pressure acts on the flip cover 300, overcoming the restoring torque of the torsion spring and pushing the flip cover 300 open to the second position (open state). The greater the water vapor pressure, or the softer the torsion spring, the easier it is to open the flip cover 300. When the external driving force (water vapor pressure) disappears, the elastic potential energy stored in the torsion spring is released, generating a torque that actively pushes the flip cover 300 back to the closed position (first position). Installing a torsion spring on the rotating shaft 310 provides a simple and effective automatic reset mechanism for the flip cover 300. It ensures that the flip cover 300 can be reliably closed when the atomizing device 200 stops operating.

[0064] In one alternative embodiment, the pivot 310 is fixed to the upper side of the flip cover 300, and the atomizing port 210 is disposed on the lower side of the flip cover 300.

[0065] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 310 is located on the upper side of the flip cover 300, and the atomizing port 210 is located on the lower side of the flip cover 300. This arrangement facilitates the automatic opening of the flip cover 300 by water vapor pressure. When water vapor is ejected from the atomizing port 210 on the lower side, the point of application of its thrust (which can be approximated as the center of the atomizing port 210) is a relatively long distance from the rotating shaft 310 on the upper side, thereby generating a larger torque. This larger torque can more easily overcome the weight of the flip cover 300 itself.

[0066] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the garment processing equipment is also equipped with a return air pipe 400, which is connected to the atomizing device 200 and is used to remove the bubbles generated during the atomization process of the atomizing device 200.

[0067] When the atomizing device 200 is working, the atomizing plate atomizes water into tiny droplets. During this process, due to the surface tension of the liquid and the entrainment of air, tiny bubbles are generated on the surface of the atomizing plate. If these bubbles cannot be expelled in time, they will accumulate inside the cavity of the atomizing device 200. As the bubbles accumulate, the pressure inside the cavity will gradually increase. When the water pressure inside the cavity is too high, there is a risk of water leakage from the atomizing plate, which will affect the atomization effect and may even damage the atomizing plate.

[0068] In this embodiment, the return air pipe 400 is a conduit with one end connected to the atomizing device 200 and the other end leading to the outside of the atomizing device 200. Its function is to remove the air bubbles generated by the atomizing device 200, effectively solving the problem of air bubble generation during atomization and preventing the risk of increased water pressure inside the chamber and water leakage from the atomizing plate. This design improves the stability and reliability of the atomizing device 200, extends its service life, and enhances the overall performance of the clothes drying equipment.

[0069] The return air pipe 400 provides a channel to guide these air bubbles out of the atomizing device 200, thereby preventing bubble accumulation, maintaining normal pressure within the chamber, and avoiding water leakage due to excessive water pressure. The diameter and length of the return air pipe 400 need to be designed according to the air production of the atomizing device 200 and the overall structure of the equipment to ensure that the bubbles can be discharged smoothly. The connection point of the return air pipe 400 can be located near the area where the bubbles are generated, such as near the atomizing plate. The design of the return air pipe 400 needs to prevent liquid from being discharged with the air bubbles, which can be achieved by installing a liquid seal, a one-way valve, or other structures in the return air pipe 400.

[0070] In related technologies, since the atomizing device 200 requires the user to manually add purified water, and the space inside the dryer is limited, how to place the water box is also a problem.

[0071] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing equipment includes a first water storage box 500, which is installed on the top of the equipment body 100 and located above the atomizing device 200. The first water storage box 500 is connected to the atomizing device 200 through a pipeline.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first water storage box 500 is used to store purified water added by the user, serving as the water source for the atomizing device 200. The first water storage box 500 is connected to the atomizing device 200 via a pipeline. The first water storage box 500 is designed to be detachably or fixedly installed on the top of the device body 100. Utilizing the gravity of the water itself, water can be more easily transported from the storage box to the atomizing device 200 through the pipeline, reducing the need for an additional water pump 800 and simplifying the water supply system. Placing the large-volume water storage box on top allows for more space for other internal components (such as the drum, motor, heating element, etc.). For users, inserting or removing the water storage box from the top is generally more convenient, especially in drum dryers.

[0073] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the clothing processing equipment also includes a condensate box 600. The first water storage box 500 and the condensate box 600 are arranged side by side, which can make more effective use of the limited space inside the dryer and improve space utilization.

[0074] In another optional embodiment, the garment processing device further includes a condensate tray 600, which has a first cavity and a second cavity. The first cavity is used to collect condensate, and the second cavity forms a first water storage box 500. This integrates water storage and condensate collection functions into a single box, saving space and simplifying the overall structure.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the main body of the equipment 100 is provided with a front support 110. The clothing processing equipment also includes a second water storage box 700 and a water pump 800. The second water storage box 700 is installed on the front support 110. The water pump 800 is connected to the second water storage box 700 and the atomizing device 200 to deliver water from the second water storage box 700 to the atomizing device 200.

[0076] In this embodiment, the front support 110 is a support structure at the front of the device body 100 (near the user side). The second water storage box 700 is installed on the front support 110, so that the user can easily take it out to add water after opening the door without opening the main body of the dryer.

[0077] It should be noted that the atomizing device 200 only needs to be equipped with one of the first water storage box 500 and the second water storage box 700.

[0078] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the front support 110 is provided with a retrieval port 111, and the retrieval port 111 is surrounded by a lip 112. The lip 112 is provided with a mounting hole 113, and the second water storage box 700 is detachably installed in the mounting hole 113.

[0079] In this embodiment, the front support 110 is provided with a retrieval opening 111 for easy insertion and removal of clothing. A lip 112 is provided around the retrieval opening 111, which can be formed by a protruding structure around the opening 111 to enhance its structural strength. The lip 112 has a mounting hole 113, into which the second water storage box 700 is detachably installed. This detachable installation of the second water storage box 700 facilitates maintenance and replacement, improving the maintainability of the device. The lip 112 design strengthens the retrieval opening 111 and serves as a positioning and support structure for the second water storage box 700, preventing accidental detachment.

[0080] It is understood that the clothing processing equipment in this embodiment may include, but is not limited to, dryers, tumble dryers, and washer-dryer combos.

[0081] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.
