Clothing processing equipment that uses direct exhaust drying will cause lint, dust, and debris to fall off the clothes during the drying process and accumulate in the air duct with the hot air. After long-term use, this will affect ventilation efficiency, breed bacteria, and even produce odors. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of this application aim to provide a garment processing device that can reduce the possibility of lint and other loose material accumulating in the air duct. The garment processing device includes:

[0004] The outer cylinder has interconnected air outlets and receiving cavities;

[0005] An air duct assembly is disposed on the outer cylinder. The air duct assembly has an air duct or the air duct assembly and the outer cylinder surround to form an air duct. The air duct communicates with the receiving cavity through the air outlet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the filter assembly is disposed in the second housing and abuts against the first housing, or the filter assembly is disposed in the first housing and abuts against the second housing, so that the airflow entering the duct passes through the filter assembly.

[0012] In some embodiments, the duct assembly includes:

[0013] A first housing is disposed on the outer cylinder and integrally formed with the outer cylinder;

[0014] The second housing is disposed on top of the first housing, and the first housing, the second housing, and the outer cylinder surround the air duct to form the air duct. The filter assembly is disposed within the air duct.

[0015] In some embodiments, the duct assembly further includes a baffle plate connected to the first housing and the outer cylinder, and a filter assembly disposed in the second housing, the filter assembly abutting against the baffle plate so that airflow entering the duct passes through the filter assembly.

[0016] In some embodiments, the air inlet of the air duct is formed in the first housing and the outer cylinder, the air outlet of the air duct is formed in the first housing, and the filter assembly is disposed in the second housing.

[0017] In some embodiments, the filtering component includes:

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine the different embodiments or examples described in this application, as well as the features of those different embodiments or examples.

[0045] In related technologies, conventional washer-dryer combos use a direct-vent drying principle, heating ambient air and blowing it into the drum. The hot air then carries the moisture from the clothes through the air duct into the environment. However, during the drying process, lint, dust, and debris (hereinafter referred to as lint) fall off the clothes. This lint enters the air duct with the hot air and accumulates there over time, affecting ventilation efficiency, breeding bacteria, and even producing odors.

[0046] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a garment processing device capable of intercepting lint and other loose materials, and using washing water to rinse and discharge these materials from the garment processing device. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-3 The garment processing device 100 includes an outer cylinder 10, an air duct assembly 20, and a filter assembly 30. The outer cylinder 10 has an air outlet 10a and a receiving cavity 10b that are interconnected. The air duct assembly 20 has an air duct 20a, or the air duct assembly 20 and the outer cylinder 10 surround to form an air duct 20a. The air duct assembly 20 is disposed on the outer cylinder 10, and the air duct 20a communicates with the receiving cavity 10b through the air outlet 10a. The filter assembly 30 is disposed on the air duct 20a and is located near the air outlet 10a. Exemplarily, the height of the filter assembly 30 from the bottom of the receiving cavity 10b is less than or equal to half the height of the receiving cavity 10b.

[0047] The garment processing equipment 100 is used to wash and dry clothes, shoes, socks, curtains, fabrics, backpacks, and other items, hereinafter collectively referred to as garments. The garment processing equipment 100 can be a washer-dryer combo with both washing and drying functions. Exemplarily, the garment processing equipment 100 also includes a main body and an inner drum. The main body serves as a support frame for the outer drum 10, and the inner drum is located inside the outer drum 10. The inner drum has a cylindrical inner cavity for holding the garments.

[0048] For example, the inner drum has a water passage hole on its wall, and the outer drum 10 can hold washing water. When washing is performed, the inner drum can rotate relative to the outer drum 10 along the X-axis to wash clothes, and the water passage hole allows washing water to enter the inner drum and contact the clothes for washing.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1-3 Z represents the upward direction, which is the direction away from the ground; X is the axial direction of the outer cylinder, which can be understood as the rotation axis of the inner cylinder installed inside the outer cylinder 10; Y represents the direction perpendicular to X and Z.

[0050] The air duct 20a can be divided into an air inlet and an air outlet along the airflow direction, with the air inlet located at the end of the air duct 20a near the air outlet 10a. For example, the filter assembly 30 is disposed at the air inlet of the air duct 20a, closer to the air inlet 20c than the air outlet 20b; it can be disposed at or near the air inlet 20c. The filter assembly 30 can be installed by inserting it into the air duct 20a from the outside of the air duct assembly 20, or it can be disposed within the air duct 20a by disassembling the air duct assembly 20.

[0051] For example, please refer to Figures 1-3 The air duct assembly 20 and the outer cylinder 10 together form the air duct 20a, that is, the air duct assembly 20 and the outer cylinder 10 are combined to form the air duct 20a. In this way, the equipment can be simplified, the size of the equipment along the Y direction can be reduced, and the compactness of the structural layout can be improved. The filter assembly 30 is set close to the air inlet 20c.

[0052] In some embodiments not shown, the air duct assembly 20 has an air duct 20a, meaning that the air duct assembly 20 can form an integral air duct 20a. This reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the outer cylinder.

[0053] For example, the filter assembly 30 is located at the air inlet 20c or is positioned close to the air inlet 20c to improve the rinsing effect of the washing water on the filter assembly 30.

[0054] For example, the filter assembly 30 includes a filter screen 32 capable of trapping lint on the side of the filter assembly 30 facing the air outlet 10a. For example, the mesh size of the filter screen 32 is 50 to 100. In this way, the requirements for both airflow and lint trapping can be met simultaneously.

[0055] For example, the filter assembly 30 is detachably disposed in the air duct 20a, which facilitates the later disassembly and assembly of the filter assembly 30 for maintenance.

[0056] Please see Figures 3-5 The filter assembly 30 can divide the air duct 20a into a first air duct 20a1 and a second air duct 20a2. In some embodiments, the first air duct 20a1 is connected to the second air duct 20a2 through the filter assembly 30. That is, the airflow must pass through the filter assembly 30 before entering the second air duct 20a2 and reaching the air outlet 20b. In this way, lint can be intercepted on the side of the filter assembly 30 facing the air outlet 10a. In other embodiments, the filter assembly 30 can be adjusted so that part of the airflow from the first air duct 20a1 passes through the filter assembly 30 before entering the second air duct 20a2, while part of the airflow directly enters the second air duct 20a2.

[0057] The height of the filter assembly 30 from the bottom of the receiving cavity 10b should be understood as the height of the highest point of the filter assembly 30 along the Z direction from the bottom of the receiving cavity 10b. The height of the receiving cavity 10b can be understood as the height of the inner wall of the top of the receiving cavity 10b along the Z direction from the inner wall of the bottom of the receiving cavity 10b.

[0058] During the next washing cycle, washing water enters the air duct 20a from the air outlet 10a of the outer drum 10. Since the filter assembly 30 is located at the air inlet of the air duct 20a, close to the air outlet 10a, the filter assembly 30 can be submerged in the washing water, reducing the requirement for water level. The washing water washes away the lint trapped in the first air duct 20a1. When the washing water is discharged, the lint is discharged with the washing water to the outside of the garment processing equipment 100.

[0059] The garment processing equipment 100 can also be equipped with a self-cleaning program. Through the self-cleaning operation, the cleaning water washes down the lint that is trapped in the first air duct 20a1 in the air duct 20a. When the cleaning water is discharged, the lint is discharged to the outside of the garment processing equipment 100 along with the cleaning water.

[0060] The garment processing device 100 provided in this application embodiment uses a filter assembly 30 to intercept lint on the side of the filter assembly 30 facing the air outlet 10a. Since the height of the filter assembly 30 from the bottom of the receiving cavity 10b is no more than half the height of the receiving cavity 10b, the next wash water or self-cleaning water can wash away and discharge the lint from the garment processing device, reducing the possibility of lint accumulating in the air duct after long-term use and affecting ventilation efficiency. The wash water enters the air duct 20a through the air outlet 10a, washes away the lint, and discharges it to the outside of the garment processing device 100, which can reduce production costs and simplify the equipment structure.

[0061] It is understandable that, since the height of the filter assembly 30 from the bottom of the receiving cavity 10b is no more than half the height of the receiving cavity 10b, washing water can be used to enter the air duct 20a through the air outlet 10a to wash away the lint, without the need for additional devices to clean the air duct 20a. In other embodiments, devices for cleaning the air duct 20a may also be provided. For example, the top of the air duct assembly 20 may have a conduit that can be connected to an external water supply device, allowing external cleaning water to be introduced into the air duct to rinse the filter assembly 30 and the air duct 20a.

[0062] For example, the height of the filter assembly 30 from the bottom of the receiving cavity 10b is no more than one-third of the height of the receiving cavity 10b.

[0063] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3At least a portion of the filter element 30 is adjacent to the upper edge of the air outlet 10a. This shortens the path of water flow through the air outlet 10a to the filter element 30, improving the flushing effect of the washing water on the filter element 30.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 Along the axial direction X of the outer cylinder 10, the projection of the filter assembly 30 at least partially coincides with the projection of the upper edge of the air outlet 10a. This allows washing water to be guided directly to the filter assembly 30 via the upper edge of the air outlet 10a, rinsing the filter assembly 30 and improving the rinsing effect on lint. Furthermore, it allows airflow to be guided directly to the filter assembly 30 via the upper edge of the air outlet 10a, improving ventilation efficiency.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air duct assembly 20 includes a first housing 21 and a second housing 22. The first housing 21 is disposed on the outer cylinder 10; the second housing 22 covers the first housing 21, and the first housing 21, the second housing 22 and the outer cylinder 10 together form an air duct 20a, and the filter assembly 30 is disposed inside the air duct 20a.

[0066] For example, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are detachably connected, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the filter assembly 30 for later maintenance, and facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the structure of the air duct assembly 20 located in the air duct 20a.

[0067] For example, the first housing 21 and the outer cylinder 10 are integrally formed. This improves the fixing strength between the first housing 21 and the outer cylinder 10, and utilizes part of the external space of the outer cylinder 10 to improve the compactness of the structural layout. It also reduces relative vibration and lowers the possibility of the first housing 21 loosening after long-term use. For example, a portion of the structure of the first housing 21 may overlap with a portion of the structure of the outer cylinder 10; that is, a portion of the structure of the outer cylinder 10 can be understood as part of the first housing 21. This allows the external contour of the outer cylinder 10 to be used as part of the air duct 20a, further improving the compactness of the structural layout.

[0068] For example, the air duct assembly 20 also includes fasteners, the second housing 22 has a fastening hole 22a, and at least one of the outer cylinder 10 and the first housing 21 has a fastening groove 10c. The fasteners pass through the fastening hole 22a and are fixed in the fastening groove 10c to fix the second housing 22 and the first housing 21 to form an air duct 20a.

[0069] For example, the number of fastening grooves 10c is at least two, which are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the first housing 21 to improve the fixing effect of the second housing 22 and the outer cylinder 10.

[0070] In some embodiments, the air duct assembly 20 and the outer cylinder 10 are arranged to form an air duct 20a. The air duct assembly 20 also includes a partition 23 connected to the first housing 21 and the outer cylinder 10. A filter assembly 30 is disposed in the second housing 22 and abuts against the partition 23 so that the airflow entering the air duct 20a passes through the filter assembly 30.

[0071] Thus, the filter assembly 30 and the baffle 23 together trap lint within the first air duct 20a1. The filter assembly 30 is disposed on the second housing 22. After the second housing 22 is removed from the first housing 21, the filter assembly 30 can be removed together with the second housing 22, facilitating inspection and maintenance of the filter assembly 30. Part of the baffle 23 is connected to the outer cylinder 10, which reduces the structural complexity of the filter assembly 30 in adapting to the external contour of the outer cylinder 10.

[0072] For example, please refer to Figure 3 At least a portion of the periphery of the air outlet 10a is connected to the partition 23.

[0073] For example, the partition 23 and the first housing 21 are integrally formed, which can improve structural strength, reduce the number of parts, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0074] In some embodiments not shown, the air duct assembly 20 has an air duct 20a, and the air duct assembly 20 further includes a partition 23 disposed within the air duct 20a. The filter assembly 30 abuts against the partition 23 so that the airflow entering the air duct 20a passes through the filter assembly 30. A portion of the partition 23 is connected to the air duct assembly 20 and is adapted to the structure of the air duct assembly.

[0075] In some embodiments not shown, the duct assembly 20 has a duct 20a. The duct assembly 20 includes a first housing and a second housing, with the second housing covering the first housing to enclose and form the duct. The first housing and the second housing are detachably connected. In some embodiments not shown, the structure of the first housing 21 forming the duct 20a is independent of the outer cylinder 10, i.e., the outer cylinder 10 is not part of forming the duct 20a. A filter assembly 30 is disposed on the second housing 22 and abuts against the first housing 21 to allow airflow entering the duct 20a to pass through the filter assembly 30. Alternatively, the filter assembly 30 is disposed on the first housing 21 and abuts against the second housing 22 to allow airflow entering the duct 20a to pass through the filter assembly 30. In this way, no additional partition is required to abut against the filter assembly 30. For some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4The air inlet 20c of the air duct 20a is formed in the first housing 21 and the outer cylinder 10, the air outlet 20b of the air duct 20a is formed in the first housing 21, and the filter assembly 30 is disposed in the second housing 22. In this way, the splicing length of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be reduced, the molding difficulty and sealing requirements can be reduced, and the strength of the air outlet 20b can be improved, so as to facilitate fastening and installation with other pipe fittings.

[0076] In some embodiments not shown, the duct assembly 20 has a duct 20a, with an air inlet 20c and an air outlet 20b both formed in the first housing 21. This reduces the splicing length between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, lowers the molding difficulty and sealing requirements, and increases the strength of the air outlet 20b, facilitating fastening installation with other pipe fittings.

[0077] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5-7 The filter assembly 30 also includes a mounting member 31. The mounting member 31 has a cutout portion 31a and is detachably disposed between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22; the filter screen 32 is disposed on the mounting member 31 and covers the cutout portion 31a.

[0078] Mounting component 31 is used to fix filter screen 32, which covers the perforated portion 31a to intercept lint in the first air duct 20a1.

[0079] For example, the filter screen 32 is disposed on the side of the mounting member 31 facing the air outlet 10a. This makes it easier for lint on the filter screen 32 to be washed away with washing water, reducing the possibility of lint accumulating in the corner where the mounting member 31 and the filter screen 32 meet.

[0080] For example, the ventilation area of ​​the perforated portion 31a is less than or equal to the ventilation area of ​​the air outlet 20b of the air duct 20a. In this way, the perforated portion 31a can be guaranteed to have sufficient ventilation area, reducing the possibility that the ventilation area of ​​the perforated portion 31a is too small and will affect the ventilation efficiency.

[0081] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The mounting component 31 includes a frame 311 and reinforcing ribs 312. The frame 311 has channels for airflow, and the reinforcing ribs 312 are disposed on the frame 311 and divide the channels to form multiple hollow portions 31a. By providing reinforcing ribs 312, the structural strength of the mounting component 31 can be improved and the deformation of the filter screen 32 can be reduced.

[0082] For example, the stiffeners 312 are cross-shaped to improve structural strength.

[0083] For example, the frame 311 and the reinforcing rib 312 are provided separately.

[0084] For example, the frame 311 and the reinforcing rib 312 are integrally molded parts, which can improve structural strength, reduce the number of parts, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3-6 The filter assembly 30 also includes a seal 33 disposed on the mounting member 31 and abutting against the air duct assembly 20, for example, against at least one of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. For example, it abuts against the first housing 21. It is understood that the seal 33 may be disposed between the mounting member 31 and the first housing 21, abutting against the first housing 21; or it may be disposed between the mounting member 31 and the second housing 22, abutting against the second housing 22; or, seals 33 may be disposed between the mounting member 31 and the first housing 21 and between the mounting member 31 and the second housing 22, with one seal 33 abutting against the first housing 21 and the other seal 33 abutting against the second housing 22.

[0086] By setting the seal 33, the fixing effect of the filter assembly 30 can be improved, and the possibility of lint entering the second air duct 20a2 from between the mounting part 31 and the air duct assembly 20 can be reduced.

[0087] For example, the seal 33 is an elastic element sandwiched between the mounting member 31 and the first housing 21. The elastic element undergoes elastic deformation under pressure, tightly fitting the mounting member 31 and the first housing 21 to reduce the possibility of lint passing between the mounting member 31 and the first housing 21 into the second air duct 20a2.

[0088] For example, the seal 33 is an elastic element sandwiched between the mounting member 31 and the second housing 22. The elastic element undergoes elastic deformation under pressure, tightly fitting the mounting member 31 and the second housing 22 to reduce the possibility of lint passing between the mounting member 31 and the second housing 22 into the second air duct 20a2.

[0089] For example, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The mounting component 31 also includes an extension 313, which is disposed at one end of the frame 311 facing the first housing 21. The seal 33 is sleeved on the extension 313 to facilitate the installation of the seal 33.

[0090] In other embodiments not shown, the extension 313 is provided at one end of the frame 311 facing the second housing 22.

[0091] For example, the extension 313 and the frame 311 are integrally molded parts, which can improve structural strength, reduce the number of parts, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0092] In other embodiments, the extension 313 and the frame 311 are manufactured separately.

[0093] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The air duct assembly 20 includes two rib grooves 24 located within the air duct 20a, and both ends of the mounting member 31 are detachably disposed within the corresponding rib grooves 24. By providing the rib grooves 24, fasteners such as screws are not required, making it easy to assemble and disassemble the mounting member 31.

[0094] For example, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Two rib grooves 24 are respectively provided in the second shell 22.

[0095] In other embodiments not shown, two rib grooves 24 are respectively disposed on the two first shell walls 221 of the two second shells 22.

[0096] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The rib groove 24 has a chamfered guide portion 241 for guiding the mounting part 31. This reduces assembly difficulty and the possibility of damage to the rib groove 24 and the mounting part 31 structure when the mounting part 31 is inserted into the rib groove 24.

[0097] For example, the guide portion 241 is disposed at one end of the rib groove 24 facing the first housing 21.

[0098] In some embodiments, the filter assembly 30 further includes a protrusion 34 disposed in at least one of the rib groove 24 and the mounting member 31, and abutting against the other of the rib groove 24 and the mounting member 31. For example, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the protrusion 34 is provided on the mounting part 31 and abuts against the rib groove 24.

[0099] In this way, after installation, the mounting part 31 and the rib groove 24 can be made to have an interference fit, thereby improving the fixing effect of the mounting part 31.

[0100] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The filter assembly 30 is set at an angle to the horizontal plane. For example, the direction of extension of the filter assembly 30 from one end near the air outlet 10a to the other end is set at an angle to the horizontal plane L0. This increases the filter area and improves ventilation efficiency.

[0101] Understandably, if it is necessary for the filter assembly 30 to be at a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane, the angle of the filter assembly 30 can be controlled by setting the position of the rib groove 24. Furthermore, the support angle of the rib groove can be adaptively set.

[0102] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
