It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0054] The specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different combinations of specific technical features can form different embodiments and technical solutions. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in this invention will not be described separately.

The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0056] In related technologies, the drying system is fixedly installed in the drum, which bears the weight of the drying system. During operation, such as when processing clothes, the drum causes the drying system to vibrate at high speed. Therefore, the components and electrical parts of the drum and drying system, such as terminals, are prone to loosening and generating abnormal noises, requiring higher assembly standards for the drum and drying system. In addition, to reduce collisions between the drying system and the drum or housing during vibration, a large safety gap needs to be reserved between the parts of the drying system not connected to the drum and the drum, and a large installation gap also needs to be reserved between the drying system and the housing of the clothes processing equipment.

[0057] In this embodiment, "multiple" refers to a quantity including two or more. Clothing includes, but is not limited to, underwear, socks, trousers, and shirts, and may also include other textiles such as bed sheets.

[0058] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a garment processing device, which includes a housing assembly 10, a plurality of first drum assemblies 1 and a first drying system 3.

[0059] Please continue reading. Figures 1 to 4 The housing assembly 10 has a receiving cavity 5a, in which a plurality of first cylindrical assemblies 1 are located. The plurality of first cylindrical assemblies 1 are arranged at intervals along a first direction, which intersects with the vertical direction. A first drying system 3 is located in the receiving cavity 5a and is used to provide drying function for the plurality of first cylindrical assemblies 1. The first drying system 3 is connected to the housing assembly 10.

[0060] The first drying system 3 can provide hot air, and through the hot air, heat and mass exchange with the clothes inside the first drum assembly 1, the clothes are dried.

[0061] The first drum assembly 1 can be used to hold clothes. In some embodiments, the first drum assembly 1 can be used to wash and / or spin-dry clothes, etc., that is, the first drum assembly 1 has the function of cleaning clothes. The first drying system 3 can provide a drying function for the first drum assembly 1. In this embodiment, the clothes in the first drum assembly 1 can be washed, spin-dryed and dried.

[0062] The number of first cylindrical components 1 can be two, three, or more.

[0063] The specific method of connecting the first drying system 3 and the housing assembly 10 is not limited. The first drying system 3 and the housing assembly 10 can be directly connected or indirectly connected. Indirect connection means that the first drying system 3 and the housing assembly 10 can be fixed to other components respectively, using other components as an intermediate medium for connection. Direct connection, as opposed to indirect connection, means that there are no other components between the first drying system 3 and the housing assembly 10, and no other components are used as an intermediate medium for connection.

[0064] The first drying system 3 and the cabinet assembly 10 can be detachably or non-detachably connected. Detachable connections include, but are not limited to, screw connections, bolt connections, and / or snap-fit ​​connections. Non-detachable connections include, but are not limited to, welding and / or riveting connections.

[0065] The first drying system 3 can be fixedly connected to the housing assembly 10. In some embodiments, the first drying system 3 and the housing assembly 10 can be connected by fasteners.

[0066] In some embodiments, vibration damping elements may be provided at the connection between the fastener and the housing assembly 10.

[0067] Fasteners include, but are not limited to, screws, bolts, or rivets.

[0068] Taking screws as an example, vibration isolators can be clamped between the housing assembly 10 and the nut of the fastener.

[0069] Taking bolts as an example, vibration isolation components can be clamped between the housing assembly 10 and the nuts of the fasteners, and vibration isolation components can also be clamped between the nuts and the housing assembly 10.

[0070] Vibration isolators can be roughly block-shaped structures made of flexible materials, such as rubber and / or silicone. They absorb vibrations through their own elastic deformation.

[0071] In some embodiments, the connection between the fastener and the housing assembly 10 may not be equipped with vibration isolation components.

[0072] The garment processing device provided in this application embodiment can process garments using multiple first cylindrical components 1, enabling zoned processing of garments. A single garment processing device can simultaneously or sequentially perform multiple different garment processing activities. For example, the multiple first cylindrical components 1 can separately process underwear and socks. Furthermore, the multiple first cylindrical components 1 are spaced apart along a first direction, reducing interference and decreasing the vertical height of the garment processing device, thus facilitating overall center of gravity balance. A first drying system 3 provides drying functionality for the multiple first cylindrical components 1, meaning it can be used to dry the garments within the multiple first cylindrical components 1. The first drying system 3 is connected to a housing component 10. Specifically, the housing component 10 bears the weight of the first drying system 3. Fixing the housing component 10 and the first drying system 3 together increases the overall mass, reduces vibration frequency and amplitude, and lowers assembly requirements for components of the first drying system 3. It also reduces or even eliminates the safety gap between the first drying system 3 and the first cylindrical components 1, and reduces the installation gap between the first drying system 3 and the housing component 10.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 The garment processing equipment includes a second cylindrical assembly 2, which is located inside the receiving cavity 5a and is disposed below a plurality of first cylindrical assemblies 1.

[0074] All the first cylinder assembly 1, the second cylinder assembly 2, and the first drying system 3 are located inside the housing assembly 10, which provides protection for the first cylinder assembly 1, the second cylinder assembly 2, and the first drying system 3.

[0075] The number of second cylindrical components 2 can be one, two, or more.

[0076] For ease of description, this application embodiment uses two first cylindrical components 1 and one second cylindrical component 2 as an example for illustration.

[0077] In some embodiments, a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction is used as the projection plane, and the projections of the axes of all first cylindrical components 1 are parallel to but do not coincide with the projections of the axes of second cylindrical components 2.

[0078] In some embodiments, the lowest point of the first cylindrical assembly 1 may be lower than the highest point of the second cylindrical assembly 2. That is, the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 1 and the axis of the second cylindrical assembly 2 may be misaligned in a first direction, and the first cylindrical assembly 1 may not be located directly above the second cylindrical assembly 2.

[0079] The second cylindrical assembly 2 is disposed below the two first cylindrical assemblies 1. For example, one of the first cylindrical assemblies 1 is located to the upper left of the second cylindrical assembly 2, and the other first cylindrical assembly 1 is located to the upper right of the second cylindrical assembly 2.

[0080] The second drum assembly 2 can be used to hold clothes. In some embodiments, the second drum assembly 2 can be used to wash clothes and / or spin-dry them, etc. That is to say, the second drum assembly 2 has the function of cleaning clothes.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first direction may be perpendicular to the vertical direction. Taking the first direction as the left-right direction as an example, multiple first cylinder assemblies 1 and second cylinder assemblies 2 are arranged along the vertical direction, while multiple first cylinder assemblies 1 are arranged along the left-right direction.

[0082] The garment processing device provided in this application embodiment can process garments using multiple first cylindrical components 1 and second cylindrical components 2, enabling zoned processing of garments. A single garment processing device can perform multiple different garment processing activities simultaneously or sequentially. For example, the second cylindrical components 2 can process tops or bed sheets, while the multiple first cylindrical components 1 can process underwear and socks respectively. Furthermore, the multiple first cylindrical components 1 are arranged at intervals along a first direction, reducing interference and decreasing the vertical height of the garment processing device, thus facilitating overall center of gravity balance. The second cylindrical components 2 are positioned below the multiple first cylindrical components 1, and this vertical stacking design reduces the lateral space of the garment processing device, resulting in a suitable overall size.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first drying system 3 is rigidly connected to the housing assembly 10, and the first drying system 3 is flexibly connected to the first cylinder assembly 1.

[0084] The first drying system 3 is rigidly connected to the housing assembly 10. Specifically, the connection between the first drying system 3 and the housing assembly 10 is essentially motionless; for example, there is no displacement, angular deviation, or deformation. This essentially motionless connection means that the first drying system 3 and the housing assembly 10 form a fixed whole, restricting relative movement between them and improving the stability of the first drying system 3.

[0085] The first drying system 3 is flexibly connected to the first cylinder assembly 1. Specifically, the connection between the first drying system 3 and the first cylinder assembly 1 can move; for example, it can generate at least one of displacement, angular deviation, and deformation. This movable connection can absorb deformation and compensate for vibration and impact.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first drying system 3 is rigidly connected to the housing assembly 10. Specifically, the connection between the first drying system 3 and the housing assembly 10 is essentially stationary, forming a fixed whole and restricting relative movement between them, thus improving the stability of the first drying system 3. The first drying system 3 is also flexibly connected to the first cylindrical assembly 1. The first cylindrical assembly 1 does not bear the weight of the first drying system 3. Specifically, the connection between the first drying system 3 and the first cylindrical assembly 1 can move, absorbing deformation and compensating for vibration and impact.

[0087] In some embodiments, there are two first cylindrical components 1 and one second cylindrical component 2. The two first cylindrical components 1 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis of the second cylindrical component 2, with the plane perpendicular to the vertical direction as the projection plane.

[0088] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the symmetrical arrangement helps to make the entire garment processing equipment more stable during operation, and when one or both of the two first cylinder components 1 work at the same time, the power of the two first cylinder components 1 can be more balanced; on the other hand, the symmetrical arrangement can also make the layout more reasonable and increase the aesthetic appeal.

[0089] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The first drying system 3 includes multiple first ventilation pipes 31 and multiple first corrugated pipes 34, each first corrugated pipe 34 being connected to an air inlet 1a of a first cylinder assembly 1 and a first ventilation pipe 31.

[0090] The number of first ventilation ducts 31 can be two, three, or more.

[0091] The number of first bellows 34 can be two, three, or more.

[0092] The first ventilation duct 31 and the first corrugated pipe 34 correspond one-to-one; in other words, the number of the first ventilation duct 31 and the first corrugated pipe 34 are equal.

[0093] The first ventilation duct 31 is a structure used for airflow.

[0094] The air inlet 1a of the first cylinder assembly 1 is used to send airflow from the first ventilation duct 31 into the first cylinder assembly 1, thereby drying clothes.

[0095] In this embodiment, the first corrugated pipe 34 has a wavy pleated structure. The first corrugated pipe 34 can deform through the wavy pleats to compensate for displacement, absorb vibration or transmit pressure, and realize a flexible connection between the first ventilation pipe 31 and the air inlet 1a of the first cylinder assembly 1.

[0096] The first bellows 34 is a component capable of elastic deformation. The material of the first bellows 34 is not limited. For example, it can be a component made of flexible materials such as soft plastic, silicone and / or rubber.

[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 Multiple first ventilation ducts 31 are located between two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1.

[0098] For example, all the first ventilation ducts 31 may be located between two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1.

[0099] Multiple first ventilation ducts 31 may be located above the second cylinder assembly 2. Exemplarily, all first ventilation ducts 31 may be located above the second cylinder assembly 2.

[0100] In this embodiment, multiple first ventilation pipes 31 are accommodated in the space between two adjacent first cylinder components 1, making the overall structure layout compact. This is beneficial for providing drying function for the first cylinder component 1 without increasing the size of the existing box component 10 or meeting the standard size of the box component 10.

[0101] In some embodiments, the standard-sized enclosure assembly 10 may have a height of 800 mm in the vertical direction and a width of 600 mm in the horizontal direction. This standard-sized enclosure assembly 10 can basically meet the installation requirements of indoor spaces.

[0102] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The first cylindrical assembly 1 includes a first outer cylinder, a first inner cylinder, and a first door seal ring 11. The first inner cylinder is rotatably disposed inside the first outer cylinder. The first door seal ring 11 is disposed at one end of the first outer cylinder along the second direction, and the first door seal ring 11 forms an air inlet 1a. The first direction, the second direction, and the up and down direction intersect each other.

[0103] The first inner drum is used to hold clothes. Specifically, the first inner drum has a first clothing cavity, and the first outer drum has a first insertion port that communicates with the first clothing cavity. Users can put clothes into or take them out of the first clothing cavity through the first insertion port.

[0104] The rotation of the first inner drum causes the clothes to move, thereby changing the posture of the clothes in the first garment cavity to achieve the purpose of washing, dehydration and / or drying.

[0105] The axis of the first inner cylinder and the axis of the first outer cylinder can coincide. The axis of the first inner cylinder can be horizontal or inclined. The inclined direction is when the axis of the first inner cylinder intersects the horizontal direction at an angle.

[0106] For example, the garment handling device includes a first door for covering or opening a first dispensing port.

[0107] Taking the first direction, the second direction, and the up and down direction as being perpendicular to each other as an example, the first direction can be the left and right direction, and the second direction can be the front and back direction. The front end of the first outer barrel has a first feeding port, and the first door seal ring 11 can be set at the front end of the first outer barrel. The axis of the first outer barrel and the axis of the first inner barrel are both roughly along the front and back direction.

[0108] The first door seal ring 11 is generally a closed ring structure and can surround the first dispensing opening. When the first door body is covering the first dispensing opening, the first door body presses the first door seal ring 11 tightly against the first outer barrel. That is, the first door seal ring 11 is used to seal the gap between the front end of the first door body and the first outer barrel, thereby preventing water and / or airflow in the first outer barrel from leaking into the housing assembly 10.

[0109] In some embodiments, the first outer tub can be used to hold water, and the first inner tub can be used to hold clothes. In this embodiment, the first inner tub holds water through the first outer tub, and the wall of the first inner tub has holes for water flow and air flow. The first inner tub can also be called a perforated inner tub.

[0110] In this embodiment, the first door seal ring 11 is disposed at one end of the first outer barrel along the second direction. The first door seal ring 11 forms an air inlet 1a. The airflow from the air inlet 1a can directly enter the first inner barrel through the first door seal ring 11 without having to pass through the space between the first outer barrel and the first inner barrel and then through the hole in the first inner barrel to enter the first inner barrel, which can reduce wind resistance.

[0111] The first door seal ring 11 is a seal that can undergo elastic deformation. The first door seal ring 11 can be a seal made of flexible materials such as silicone and / or rubber.

[0112] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The first bellows 34 is pre-compressed and connected to the air inlet 1a of the first cylindrical assembly 1 and the first ventilation duct 31. Specifically, the length of the first bellows 34 in the assembled state is less than the length of the first bellows 34 in the free state.

[0113] The first bellows 34 in the assembled state refers to the state in which the first bellows 34 is connected to the air inlet 1a of the first ventilation duct 31 and the first cylinder assembly 1.

[0114] The first bellows 34 in a free state refers to the state in which the first bellows 34 is not subjected to deformation forces such as compression and tension, and the wavy folds of the first bellows 34 are in a state of natural extension and no deformation.

[0115] In this embodiment, the first corrugated pipe 34 is pre-compressed and connected to the air inlet 1a of the first cylindrical assembly 1 and the first ventilation duct 31. That is, the first corrugated pipe 34 is assembled between the first cylindrical assembly 1 and the first ventilation duct 31 in a state of compression deformation, which can generate initial elastic force. During the operation of the first cylindrical assembly 1, the first cylindrical assembly 1 will vibrate, and the displacement between the first cylindrical assembly 1 and the first ventilation duct 31 will be at least partially offset by the pre-compression deformation.

[0116] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 The first drying system 3 includes multiple first air outlet pipes 33. The first air outlet pipes 33 are flexible structures. Each first air outlet pipe 33 is connected to an air outlet of a first cylinder assembly 1 and a first ventilation pipe 31.

[0117] The number of first air outlet ducts 33 can be two, three, or more.

[0118] The first cylindrical assembly 1, the first ventilation duct 31, and the first air outlet duct 33 can correspond one-to-one. In other words, the number of the first cylindrical assembly 1, the first ventilation duct 31, and the first air outlet duct 33 is equal.

[0119] The first air outlet duct 33 is a device used to condense and dehumidify the airflow. In other words, the airflow flowing through the first air outlet duct 33 will reduce the temperature and humidity.

[0120] A flexible structure is a component that can undergo elastic deformation without breaking under stress. Flexible structures can absorb energy and achieve displacement compensation through material elasticity and / or geometric deformation.

[0121] The air outlet of the first cylindrical assembly 1 is used to send the airflow inside the first cylindrical assembly 1 into the first air outlet duct 33, thereby discharging the airflow inside the first cylindrical assembly 1.

[0122] In this embodiment, the first air outlet duct 33 is a flexible structure. The first air outlet duct 33 can absorb energy through material elasticity and / or geometric deformation to achieve displacement compensation, thereby absorbing vibration or transmitting pressure and achieving a flexible connection with the air outlet of the first cylinder assembly 1.

[0123] The material of the first air outlet duct 33 is not limited. For example, it can be a component made of flexible materials such as soft plastic, silicone and / or rubber.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first air outlet duct 33 can also be a rigid structure. Unlike flexible structures, rigid structures maintain their shape under stress, meaning they do not undergo significant deformation. In this embodiment, the first air outlet duct 33 and the first cylindrical assembly 1 can be flexibly connected via a second corrugated pipe. Compared to a rigid structure, a flexible structure for the first air outlet duct 33 eliminates the need for a second corrugated pipe, saving components. The distance between the first air outlet duct 33 and the first cylindrical assembly 1 is relatively shorter, resulting in a more compact structure that meets the assembly requirements of the standard-sized housing assembly 10. It also facilitates rapid airflow into the first air outlet duct 33 for condensation and dehumidification, shortening the airflow path.

[0125] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The first drying system 3 includes multiple first fan housings 32, each of which is connected to a first air outlet duct 33 and a first ventilation duct 31.

[0126] The number of first fan casings 32 can be two, three, or more.

[0127] The first fan casing 32, the first ventilation duct 31, and the first air outlet duct 33 can correspond one-to-one. In other words, the number of the first fan casing 32, the first ventilation duct 31, and the first air outlet duct 33 is equal.

[0128] The first fan housing 32 is a component used to house the wind turbine and guide airflow, wherein the wind turbine is located inside the first fan housing 32.

[0129] In this embodiment, each first fan housing 32 is connected to a first air outlet duct 33 and a first ventilation duct 31. The airflow within the first cylinder assembly 1 flows sequentially through the first air outlet duct 33, the first fan housing 32, and the first ventilation duct 31, before returning to the first cylinder assembly 1, achieving airflow circulation. This circulating airflow dries the clothes. Specifically, a heater can be installed in the first ventilation duct 31 to heat the airflow into a dry, hot airflow. This dry, hot airflow enters the first cylinder assembly 1 and contacts the damp clothes for heat exchange, forming a humid, hot airflow. This humid, hot airflow enters the first air outlet duct 33, where it condenses and dehumidifies the humid, hot airflow, forming a dry, cold airflow. This dry, cold airflow then passes through the heater again to form a dry, hot airflow, returning to the first cylinder assembly 1, thus completing one airflow cycle. During the drying process, multiple airflow cycles continuously remove moisture from the damp clothes, ultimately drying them. The first fan housing 32 connects to the first air outlet duct 33 and the first ventilation duct 31, which can, to a certain extent, prevent the impeller from contacting the dry, hot airflow, protecting the components.

[0130] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8The first air outlet duct 33 has an exchange chamber, a cooling water inlet 333, a connecting port 332, and a venting port 331. The cooling water inlet 333, the connecting port 332, and the venting port 331 are all connected to the exchange chamber. The connecting port 332 is connected to the first cylindrical assembly 1, such as the first outer barrel. Cooling water enters the exchange chamber through the cooling water inlet 333. The hot and humid airflow from the air outlet of the first cylindrical assembly 1 enters the exchange chamber through the connecting port 332. The cooling water and the hot and humid airflow come into contact and exchange heat in the exchange chamber. The cooling water absorbs the heat of the hot and humid airflow. The water vapor in the hot and humid airflow is cooled and condenses from the airflow into condensate. The condensate mixes with the cooling water and is discharged to the first outer barrel through the connecting port 332, and then discharged through the drain outlet of the first outer barrel. The dry and cold airflow enters the first fan casing 32 through the venting port 331. In this way, the effect of dehumidifying and cooling the hot and humid airflow is achieved.

[0131] Cooling water includes, but is not limited to, tap water. For example, the main water inlet valve and cooling water inlet 333 of the garment processing equipment can be connected by a pipeline, and the main water inlet valve can be used to connect to a tap water pipeline. In this way, the tap water pipeline is used to supply cooling water to the first air outlet duct 33.

[0132] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The first fan casing 32 can be a volute, and the impeller can be a centrifugal impeller.

[0133] In some embodiments, the wind turbine may also be an axial flow wind turbine or a cross-flow wind turbine.

[0134] The type of heater is not limited; for example, heaters include, but are not limited to, PTC semiconductor heaters or resistance wire heaters, etc.

[0135] It is understandable that hot dry air, cold dry air, and hot humid air are relative terms. Hot humid air has a higher humidity than hot dry air, and hot dry air has a higher temperature than cold dry air.

[0136] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The first air outlet duct 33 includes an air vent 331, which has at least one pleat 3311. The air outlet of the first cylinder assembly 1 and one of the first fan housing 32 are connected to the air vent 331.

[0137] As an example, in some embodiments, the air outlet of the first cylindrical assembly 1 is connected to the vent port 331. In other embodiments, the first fan housing 32 is connected to the vent port 331.

[0138] The folds 3311 can be one, two, three, or more, etc.

[0139] In this embodiment, the pleated portion 3311 has a wave-like undulating structure. The pleated portion 3311 can achieve elastic deformation through the compression and unfolding of the waveform, thereby compensating for displacement, absorbing vibration or transmitting pressure.

[0140] In some embodiments, the vent port 331 is pre-compressed and connected to the first fan housing 32. Specifically, the length of the vent port 331 in the assembled state is less than the length of the vent port 331 in the free state.

[0141] In the assembled state, the ventilation port 331 refers to the state in which the ventilation port 331 is connected to the first fan casing 32.

[0142] The vent port 331 in the free state means that the vent port 331 is not assembled and is not subjected to deformation forces such as compression and tension. The pleats 3311 of the vent port 331 are in a naturally stretched and undeformed state.

[0143] In this embodiment, the ventilation port 331 is pre-compressed and connected to the first fan housing 32. That is, the ventilation port 331 is assembled to the first fan housing 32 in a state of compression deformation, which can generate initial elasticity. During the operation of the first cylinder assembly 1, the first cylinder assembly 1 will vibrate, and the displacement between the first air outlet duct 33 and the first fan housing 32 will be at least partially offset by the pre-compression deformation.

[0144] In some embodiments, the vent 331 is a pre-compressed air outlet connected to the first cylindrical assembly 1.

[0145] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The garment processing equipment includes a clamp 8, and the first fan housing 32 includes an inlet and a flange. The inlet extends in the vertical direction, and the flange surrounds the outer periphery of the inlet. The ventilation port 331 is fitted on the outer periphery of the inlet and the flange. The clamp 8 clamps the outer periphery of the ventilation port 331 and is located above the flange.

[0146] The entrance can be roughly cylindrical in shape, extending vertically, such as a hollow cylinder, a hollow prism, etc.

[0147] The outer periphery of the inlet is the outer part of the straight line extending in the vertical direction around the inlet. The flange surrounds the outer periphery of the inlet. The vent port 331 is fitted on the outer periphery of the inlet and the flange. That is, at least a part of the inlet and the flange are located inside the vent port 331.

[0148] In this embodiment, the clamp 8 clamps the outer periphery of the vent port 331. Specifically, the clamp 8 is located outside the vent port 331 and presses the vent port 331 against the inlet. In this way, the inner surface of the vent port 331 can press against the outer surface of the inlet, achieving a seal. The clamp 8 is located above the flange, which can provide upward support for the clamp 8, reducing the risk of the clamp 8 slipping off under vibration or other conditions.

[0149] The specific structure of the clamp 8 is not limited. Exemplarily, the clamp 8 includes a ring band and two adjusting ears. The ring band is open and elastic, and the two adjusting ears are located at both ends of the ring band opening. The ring band is fitted around the outer periphery of the vent port 331 and clamps the vent port 331 using its own elastic deformation. When it is necessary to open the ring band, the two adjusting ears can be pressed to enlarge the ring band opening, thereby widening the ring band. This releases the pressure applied to the vent port 331, facilitating adjustment of the position of the vent port 331 or disassembly of the vent port 331. When it is necessary to clamp the vent port 331, the adjusting ears can be released, the ring band opening narrows, thereby narrowing the ring band to clamp the vent port 331. Here, clamping can be achieved using the deformation of the ring band itself. In some embodiments, a bolt can also pass through the two adjusting ears, and a nut can be threadedly connected to the bolt to adjust the distance between the two adjusting ears to achieve locking.

[0150] In some embodiments, clamps 8 may also be used to clamp the first bellows 34. Exemplarily, one clamp 8 is located outside the first bellows 34 and presses the first bellows 34 against the air inlet 1a of the first cylinder assembly 1, and another clamp 8 is located outside the first bellows 34 and presses the first bellows 34 against the first ventilation duct 31.

[0151] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 Multiple first air outlet ducts 33 and multiple first fan casings 32 are located between two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1.

[0152] For example, all the first air outlet ducts 33 and the first fan housing 32 can be located between two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1.

[0153] In this embodiment, multiple first air outlet pipes 33 and multiple first fan housings 32 are accommodated in the space between two adjacent first cylinder components 1, making the overall structure layout compact. This is beneficial for the first cylinder component 1 to provide drying function without increasing the size of the existing box component 10 or meeting the standard size of the box component 10.

[0154] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 At least a portion of the first air outlet duct 33 is located below the correspondingly connected first fan housing 32.

[0155] Specifically, with a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction as the projection plane, at least a portion of the connected first air outlet duct 33 and the first fan casing 32 overlap.

[0156] As an example, a portion of the structure of the first air outlet duct 33 is located below the corresponding connected first fan housing 32, or the entire structure of the first air outlet duct 33 is located below the corresponding connected first fan housing 32.

[0157] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the first air outlet duct 33 is located below the correspondingly connected first fan housing 32, with a compact layout. The first air outlet duct 33 generates dry and cold airflow and condensate. The condensate can flow downwards, and the dry and cold airflow flows upwards into the first fan housing 32.

[0158] In some embodiments, the first cylindrical assembly 1 includes a first outer barrel, and the peripheral sidewall of the first outer barrel is formed with an air outlet.

[0159] In this embodiment, the peripheral sidewall of the first outer barrel is a circumferential sidewall surrounding its axis. The axis of the first outer barrel is approximately along the second direction. The air outlet is located on one side of the first outer barrel along the first direction. The first air outlet duct 33 can be located on one side of the first outer barrel along the first direction. This design can, to a certain extent, avoid the first air outlet duct 33 occupying the size of the first outer barrel along the second direction, such as the front-to-back direction, resulting in a compact structure.

[0160] In some embodiments, the lowest point of the air outlet is higher than the lowest point of the first inner cylinder. Condensate from the first air outlet duct 33 enters the first outer cylinder through the air outlet. As the condensate flows along the air outlet, the lowest point of the air outlet is higher than the lowest point of the first inner cylinder, which can reduce the risk of condensate contacting the first inner cylinder.

[0161] In some embodiments, the lowest point of the air inlet 1a is higher than the axis of the first outer tub. Thus, during the washing process in the first inner tub, the relatively high position of the air inlet 1a reduces the risk of the washing water inside the first outer tub coming into contact with the air inlet 1a.

[0162] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first drying system 3 is connected. This could mean that at least a portion of the drying system of the first cylinder assembly 1 is connected, while the drying system of another portion of the first cylinder assembly 1 is not connected; or at least a portion of the drying system of all the first cylinder assemblies 1 is connected.

[0163] In some implementations, since there are multiple first cylinder components 1, the number of first cylinder components corresponding to the sub-drying systems is also multiple. In other words, the first drying system can include multiple sub-drying systems. The following explanation uses two sub-drying systems as an example.

[0164] It should be noted that the connection method of at least two sub-drying systems is not limited, and the at least parts of multiple sub-drying systems can be directly or indirectly connected. Indirect connection means that the at least parts of multiple sub-drying systems can be fixed to other components, using other components as an intermediate medium for connection. Direct connection, as opposed to indirect connection, means that there are no other components between the at least parts of multiple sub-drying systems, and no other components are used as an intermediate medium for fixation.

[0165] For example, at least a portion of the at least two sub-drying systems may be an integral structure, a detachable connection, or a non-detachable connection, etc. Here, detachable connections include, but are not limited to, screw connections, bolt connections, and / or snap-fit ​​connections, etc. Non-detachable connections include, but are not limited to, welding and / or riveting, etc.

[0166] An integrated structure refers to a structure formed through a one-piece molding process. For example, at least a portion of at least two sub-drying systems may be integrally molded into an integrated structure. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the two sub-drying systems may be integrated together with other intermediate media, such as a connecting plate or base, to form an integral structure that secures the at least a portion of the two sub-drying systems. Having at least a portion of at least two sub-drying systems as an integrated structure reduces the number of assembly steps for multiple sub-drying systems and the need for fixing structures such as fasteners.

[0167] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 At least some of the first fan casings 32 are connected.

[0168] The connection of at least a portion of the plurality of first fan housings 32 means that at least a portion of the plurality of first fan housings 32 are integrated together and fixed as a whole.

[0169] For example, when there are two first fan housings 32, at least a portion of the two first fan housings 32 may be connected.

[0170] For example, when there are three first fan housings 32, at least two first fan housings 32 may be connected; or all three first fan housings 32 may be connected.

[0171] It may be that at least a portion of the first fan casing 32 is connected, while another portion of the first fan casing 32 is not connected.

[0172] It can be at least a partial connection of all the first fan casings 32.

[0173] It should be noted that the connection method of at least two first fan casings 32 is not limited. The at least parts of multiple first fan casings 32 can be directly or indirectly connected. Indirect connection means that the at least parts of multiple first fan casings 32 can be fixed to other components respectively, using other components as intermediate mediums for fixing. Direct connection, as opposed to indirect connection, means that there are no other components between the at least parts of multiple first fan casings 32, and no other components are used as intermediate mediums for fixing.

[0174] For example, at least a portion of at least two first fan housings 32 may be an integral structure, a detachable connection, or a non-detachable connection, etc. Here, detachable connections include, but are not limited to, screw connections, bolt connections, and / or snap-fit ​​connections, etc. Non-detachable connections include, but are not limited to, welding and / or riveting, etc.

[0175] An integral structure refers to a structure formed through an integral molding process. For example, at least a portion of at least two first fan housings 32 is an integrally molded structure. Having at least a portion of at least two first fan housings 32 as an integral structure reduces the number of assembly steps for multiple first fan housings 32 and reduces the number of fixing structures, such as fasteners, required for multiple first fan housings 32.

[0176] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 At least a portion of the multiple first ventilation ducts 31 are connected.

[0177] The connection of at least a portion of the multiple first ventilation ducts 31 means that at least a portion of the multiple first ventilation ducts 31 are integrated together and fixed as a whole.

[0178] For example, if there are two first ventilation ducts 31, then at least a portion of the two first ventilation ducts 31 may be connected.

[0179] For example, when there are three first ventilation ducts 31, at least two first ventilation ducts 31 may be connected in part; or all three first ventilation ducts 31 may be connected.

[0180] It may be that at least a portion of the first ventilation duct 31 is connected, while another portion of the first ventilation duct 31 is not connected.

[0181] It can be at least a partial connection of all the first ventilation ducts 31.

[0182] It should be noted that the connection method of at least two first ventilation ducts 31 is not limited. At least portions of multiple first ventilation ducts 31 can be directly or indirectly connected. Indirect connection means that at least portions of multiple first ventilation ducts 31 can be fixed to other components, using other components as intermediate media for fixing. Direct connection, unlike indirect connection, means that there are no other components between at least portions of multiple first ventilation ducts 31, and no other components are used as intermediate media for fixing.

[0183] For example, at least a portion of at least two first ventilation ducts 31 may be an integral structure, a detachable connection, or a non-detachable connection, etc. Here, detachable connections include, but are not limited to, screw connections, bolt connections, and / or snap-fit ​​connections, etc. Non-detachable connections include, but are not limited to, welding and / or riveting, etc.

[0184] For example, at least a portion of at least two first ventilation ducts 31 is a one-piece structure. Having at least a portion of at least two first ventilation ducts 31 as a one-piece structure reduces the number of assembly steps for multiple first ventilation ducts 31 and reduces the number of fixing structures, such as fasteners, required for multiple first ventilation ducts 31.

[0185] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 6 The housing assembly 10 includes a frame 5 and at least one crossbeam 6. The frame 5 has a receiving cavity 5a. The crossbeam 6 is disposed at the upper end of the frame 5 and connects the two side walls of the frame 5 along a first direction. The first drying system 3 is connected to the crossbeam 6 by fasteners 7.

[0186] There can be one, two, three or more crossbeams.

[0187] Fastener 7 is used to secure the first drying system 3 to the crossbeam 6. Fastener 7 is a rigid component, and by way of example, fastener 7 includes, but is not limited to, screws, bolts and / or rivets, etc.

[0188] For example, the crossbeam 6 can be disposed at the top of the frame 5, and the crossbeam 6 can be connected to the top surface of the side wall of the frame 5.

[0189] In this embodiment, the crossbeam 6 connects the two side walls of the frame 5 along the first direction, and the crossbeam 6 and the frame 5 have good structural strength; the fastener 7 suspends the first drying system 3 to the crossbeam 6, realizing a rigid connection between the first drying system 3 and the box assembly 10, and the force of the first drying system 3 can be transmitted to the crossbeam 6 and the frame 5 to improve structural stability.

[0190] The material of frame 5 is not limited; it can be made of metal, such as stainless steel.

[0191] The material of the crossbeam 6 is not limited; it can be made of metal, such as stainless steel.

[0192] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 6 The first drying system 3 includes a first ventilation duct 31, the fastener 7 includes a first fastener 71, the crossbeam 6 includes a first beam 61, at least a portion of the first ventilation duct 31 is located below the first beam 61, and the first fastener 71 passes through the first beam 61 and the first ventilation duct 31.

[0193] As an example, a portion of the structure of the first ventilation duct 31 may be located below the first beam 61, or the entire structure of the first ventilation duct 31 may be located below the first beam 61.

[0194] Taking the first fastener 71 as a screw as an example, the first ventilation pipe 31 can form a first stud, and the first fastener 71 is threadedly connected to the first stud.

[0195] In this embodiment, the first ventilation duct 31 is rigidly connected to the first beam 61 using the first fastener 71, so that the first ventilation duct 31 can be stably suspended below the first beam 61.

[0196] It should be noted that when there are multiple first ventilation ducts 31, each first ventilation duct 31 can be fixed to the first beam 61 by at least one first fastener 71.

[0197] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 6 The first drying system 3 includes a first fan housing 32, fastener 7 includes a second fastener 72, crossbeam 6 includes a second beam 62, at least a portion of the first fan housing 32 is located below the second beam 62, and the second fastener 72 passes through the second beam 62 and the first fan housing 32.

[0198] As an example, a portion of the structure of the first fan casing 32 may be located below the second beam 62, or the entire structure of the first fan casing 32 may be located below the second beam 62.

[0199] Taking the second fastener 72 as a screw as an example, the first fan housing 32 can form a second stud, and the second fastener 72 is threadedly connected to the second stud.

[0200] In this embodiment, the first fan casing 32 is rigidly connected to the second beam 62 using the second fastener 72, so that the first fan casing 32 can be stably suspended below the second beam 62.

[0201] It should be noted that when there are multiple first fan housings 32, each first fan housing 32 can be fixed to the second beam 62 by at least one second fastener 72.

[0202] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 6 The first beam 61 and the second beam 62 can be arranged at intervals along the second direction. For example, the second beam 62 can be located behind the first beam 61, and the first fan casing 32 can be located behind the first ventilation duct 31.

[0203] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 6 The fastener 7 includes a third fastener 73, the crossbeam 6 includes a third beam 63, the third beam 63 is located on one side of the second beam 62 along the second direction, a portion of the first fan housing 32 is located below the third beam 63, and the third fastener 73 passes through the third beam 63 and the first fan housing 32.

[0204] Specifically, a portion of the first fan casing 32 is located below the second beam 62, and another portion of the first fan casing 32 is located below the third beam 63.

[0205] Taking the third fastener 73 as a screw as an example, the first fan housing 32 can form a third stud, and the third fastener 73 is threadedly connected to the third stud.

[0206] In this embodiment, the first fan casing 32 is rigidly connected to the third beam 63 using the third fastener 73, and the first fan casing 32 is supported by the second beam 62 and the third beam 63, so that the first fan casing 32 can be stably suspended below the second beam 62 and the third beam 63.

[0207] It should be noted that when there are multiple first fan casings 32, each first fan casing 32 can be fixed to the third beam 63 by at least one third fastener 73.

[0208] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 6 The first beam 61, the second beam 62, and the third beam 63 can be arranged sequentially at intervals along the second direction. For example, the second beam 62 can be located behind the first beam 61, and the third beam 63 can be located behind the second beam 62.

[0209] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 At least one crossbeam 6 has at least one first snap-fit ​​portion 64, and at least one first drying system 3 has at least one second snap-fit ​​portion 35, with each first snap-fit ​​portion 64 and each second snap-fit ​​portion 35 snapping together.

[0210] For example, a single beam 6 may form one or more first snap-fit ​​portions 64; alternatively, multiple beams 6 may each form one or more first snap-fit ​​portions 64.

[0211] For example, the first drying system 3 may form one or more second snap-fit ​​portions 35.

[0212] In this embodiment, each first snap-fit ​​part 64 and each second snap-fit ​​part 35 snap-fit ​​together, that is, the mechanical constraint and elastic deformation between the first snap-fit ​​part 64 and the second snap-fit ​​part 35 form a detachable connection, which can realize the initial positioning and fixing between the first drying system 3 and the crossbeam 6, reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0213] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The second beam 62 can form multiple first snap-fit ​​portions 64, which can be arranged at intervals along the first direction. The first fan housing 32 can form multiple second snap-fit ​​portions 35, which can be arranged at intervals along the first direction. The second beam 62 is located near the middle of the housing assembly 10 along the second direction. With the first fan housing 32 initially positioned and fixed by the first snap-fit ​​portions 64 and the second snap-fit ​​portions 35, the first drying system 3 is subjected to balanced force, which is conducive to convenient assembly of fasteners 7.

[0214] In some embodiments, the first beam 61 may form a plurality of first snap-fit ​​portions 64, and each first ventilation duct 31 may form a second snap-fit ​​portion 35.

[0215] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 One of the first latching part 64 and the second latching part 35 is a latch, and the other of the first latching part 64 and the second latching part 35 includes a support part and a support piece. The support piece is connected to the support part and extends in a horizontal direction. The support part passes through the latch and the support piece supports the area above or below the periphery of the latch.

[0216] As an example, the first latching part 64 is a latch, and the second latching part 35 includes a support part and a support piece. The support piece is connected to the support part and extends in a horizontal direction. The support part passes through the latch and the support piece supports the area above the periphery of the latch.

[0217] As an example, the second latching part 35 is a bayonet, and the first latching part 64 includes a support part and a support piece. The support piece is connected to the support part and extends in a horizontal direction. The support part passes through the bayonet and the support piece is supported below the periphery of the bayonet.

[0218] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 Multiple first fasteners 71 are spaced apart along a first direction. This allows for the fixing of one or more first ventilation ducts 31 and improves the uniformity of force distribution.

[0219] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 Multiple second fasteners 72 are spaced apart along the first direction. This allows for the fixing of one or more first fan housings 32 and improves the uniformity of force distribution.

[0220] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 Multiple third fasteners 73 are spaced apart along the first direction. This allows for the fixing of one or more first fan housings 32 and improves the uniformity of force distribution.

[0221] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 A first fastener 71, a first snap-fit ​​part 64, and a third fastener 73 are spaced apart along a second direction and form a fixed assembly. With a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction as the projection plane, the two fixed assemblies are symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the second cylinder assembly 2. In each fixed assembly, the first fastener 71, the first snap-fit ​​part 64, and the third fastener 73 are arranged approximately along a first straight line, which is parallel to the axis of the second cylinder assembly 2. This more securely fixes the first drying system 3 to the housing assembly 10 and improves the uniformity of force distribution.

[0222] In some embodiments, the second cylindrical assembly 2 includes a second outer cylinder, a second inner cylinder, and a second door seal ring, wherein the second inner cylinder is rotatably disposed inside the second outer cylinder; and the second door seal ring is disposed at one end of the second outer cylinder along a second direction.

[0223] The second inner tube is used to hold clothes. Specifically, the second inner tube has a second clothing cavity, and the second outer tube has a second loading port, which communicates with the second clothing cavity. Users can put clothes into or take them out of the second clothing cavity through the second loading port.

[0224] The rotation of the second inner drum causes the clothes to move, thereby changing the posture of the clothes in the second garment cavity, achieving washing, dehydration and drying of the clothes.

[0225] The axis of the second inner cylinder and the axis of the second outer cylinder can coincide. The axis of the second inner cylinder can be horizontal or inclined. The inclined direction is when the axis of the second inner cylinder intersects the horizontal direction at an angle.

[0226] For example, the garment handling device includes a second door for concealing or opening a second loading port.

[0227] Taking the first direction as the left-right direction and the second direction as the front-back direction as an example, the front end of the second outer barrel has a second inlet, and the second door seal ring can be set at the front end of the second outer barrel. The axis of the second outer barrel and the axis of the second inner barrel are both roughly along the front-back direction.

[0228] The second door seal is roughly a closed loop structure and can surround the second dispensing opening. When the second door body covers the second dispensing opening, the second door body presses the second door seal tightly against the second outer barrel. That is, the second door seal is used to seal the gap between the front ends of the second door body and the second outer barrel, thereby preventing water and / or airflow from the second outer barrel from leaking into the housing assembly 10.

[0229] In some embodiments, the second outer tub can be used to hold water, and the second inner tub can be used to hold clothes. In this embodiment, the second inner tub holds water through the second outer tub, and the wall of the second inner tub has holes for water and air flow. The second inner tub can also be referred to as a perforated inner tub. Thus, the second tub assembly 2 can have the function of washing clothes.

[0230] The second door seal is a sealing element that can undergo elastic deformation. The second door seal can be a sealing element made of flexible materials such as silicone and / or rubber.

[0231] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,in, Figure 4 and Figure 5 The image only shows a portion of the structure of the second inner cylinder assembly. The diameter of the first inner cylinder can be smaller than the diameter of the second inner cylinder. The second inner cylinder assembly 2 can handle larger or bulkier garments, such as shirts and bed sheets, while the first inner cylinder assembly 1 can handle smaller or smaller garments, such as socks, underwear, or baby clothes.

[0232] In this embodiment, the volume of the second inner cylinder is larger than that of the first inner cylinder, and the weight of the second cylinder assembly 2 located below is heavier, which can help lower the overall center of gravity of the clothing processing equipment, thereby increasing the stability of the clothing processing equipment. The second cylinder assembly 2 can also offset the vibration from above based on its own weight, thereby increasing the overall balance performance of the clothing processing equipment.

[0233] In some embodiments, the frame 5 includes multiple beams that form a hollow hexahedron, and the hollow space of the hexahedron is a receiving cavity 5a.

[0234] The crossbeams 6, such as the first beam 61, the second beam 62, and the third beam 63, can be fixed to the two beam bodies.

[0235] The beams can be made of metal, such as stainless steel.

[0236] In some embodiments, frame 5 further includes a top plate, a bottom plate, a rear plate, a front sealing door, and two side plates. The top plate can be located at the top opening of the hollow hexahedron, the bottom plate at the bottom opening, the front sealing door at the front opening, the rear plate at the rear opening, and the two side plates at the left and right openings of the hollow hexahedron. The top plate, bottom plate, rear plate, front sealing door, and two side plates can serve as exterior panels to enhance the aesthetics of the garment processing equipment.

[0237] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The garment processing equipment includes a second drying system 4, which provides drying function for the second drum assembly 2. A portion of the second drying system 4 is located between the first drying system 3 and the second drum assembly 2.

[0238] The second drying system 4 is located inside the receiving cavity 5a.

[0239] The second drying system 4 can provide hot air, which exchanges heat and mass with the clothes inside the second drum assembly 2 to dry the clothes.

[0240] The second cylinder assembly 2 and the second drying system 4 can correspond one-to-one; in other words, the number of the second cylinder assembly 2 and the second drying system 4 is the same.

[0241] In some embodiments, the axes of two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1 are aligned, and at least a portion of the second drying system 4 is lower than the axes of the two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1. It is understood that the distance between the peripheral sidewalls of two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1 gradually increases from the axis of the first cylinder assembly 1 to the lowest point of the first cylinder assembly 1, thereby facilitating the placement of the second drying system 4 between the two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1.

[0242] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second drying system 4 includes a second ventilation duct 41 and a second air outlet duct 43. At least a portion of the second ventilation duct 41 is located between the first drying system 3 and the second cylinder assembly 2. The second air outlet duct 43 is connected to the second ventilation duct 41, and at least a portion of the second air outlet duct 43 is located at one end of the second cylinder assembly 2 along a second direction.

[0243] The number of the second ventilation duct 41 and the second air outlet duct 43 can correspond one-to-one; in other words, the number of the second ventilation duct 41 and the second air outlet duct 43 is equal.

[0244] The second ventilation duct 41 is a structure for circulating airflow. For example, a heating element is provided inside the second ventilation duct 41 to heat the airflow flowing through the second ventilation duct 41. The heated dry airflow flows into the second cylinder assembly 2 to achieve the drying function.

[0245] The type of heating element is not limited. For example, the heating element includes, but is not limited to, PTC semiconductor heating elements or resistance wire heating elements, etc.

[0246] As an example, part of the structure of the second ventilation duct 41 is located between the first drying system 3 and the second cylinder assembly 2, or the entire structure of the second ventilation duct 41 is located between the first drying system 3 and the second cylinder assembly 2.

[0247] As an example, a portion of the structure of the second air outlet duct 43 is located at one end of the second cylindrical assembly 2 along the second direction, or the entire structure of the second air outlet duct 43 is located at one end of the second cylindrical assembly 2 along the second direction. For example, at least a portion of the second air outlet duct 43 is located at the rear end of the second cylindrical assembly 2.

[0248] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second drying system 4 includes a second fan housing 42, which is connected to a second ventilation duct 41 and a second air outlet duct 43. At least a portion of the second fan housing 42 is located at one end of the second ventilation duct 41 along a second direction and is located above the second cylinder assembly 2.

[0249] The second fan casing 42, the second ventilation duct 41, and the second air outlet duct 43 can correspond one-to-one. In other words, the number of the second fan casing 42, the second ventilation duct 41, and the second air outlet duct 43 is equal.

[0250] The second fan casing 42 is a component used to house the impeller and guide airflow, wherein the impeller is located inside the second fan casing 42.

[0251] As an example, part of the structure of the second fan housing 42 is located at one end of the second ventilation duct 41 along the second direction, or the entire structure of the second fan housing 42 is located at one end of the second ventilation duct 41 along the second direction.

[0252] In this embodiment, each second fan housing 42 is connected to a second air outlet duct 43 and a second ventilation duct 41. The airflow within the second cylinder assembly 2 flows sequentially through the second air outlet duct 43, the second fan housing 42, and the second ventilation duct 41, before returning to the second cylinder assembly 2, achieving airflow circulation. This circulating airflow dries the clothes. Specifically, a heating element can be installed in the second ventilation duct 41 to heat the airflow into a dry, hot airflow. This dry, hot airflow enters the second cylinder assembly 2 and contacts the damp clothes for heat exchange, forming a humid, hot airflow. This humid, hot airflow enters the first air outlet duct 33, where it condenses and dehumidifies to form a dry, cold airflow. This dry, cold airflow then passes through a heater to form a dry, hot airflow, which returns to the second cylinder assembly 2, thus completing one airflow cycle. During the drying process, multiple airflow cycles continuously remove moisture from the damp clothes, ultimately drying them. The second fan housing 42, connected to the second air outlet duct 43 and the second ventilation duct 41, can, to a certain extent, prevent the second impeller from contacting the dry, hot airflow, protecting the components.

[0253] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The second fan casing 42 can be a volute, and the impeller can be a centrifugal impeller.

[0254] In some embodiments, the impeller may also be an axial flow impeller or a cross flow impeller.

[0255] In some embodiments, the second air outlet duct 43 has a condensation chamber, an inlet, a delivery port, and an airflow outlet. The inlet, delivery port, and airflow outlet are all connected to the condensation chamber. The delivery port is connected to the second outer barrel. Cooling water enters the condensation chamber through the inlet. The hot and humid airflow from the second outer barrel enters the condensation chamber through the delivery port. The cooling water and the hot and humid airflow come into contact and exchange heat in the condensation chamber. The cooling water absorbs the heat from the hot and humid airflow. The water vapor in the hot and humid airflow is cooled and condenses into water droplets. The water droplets mix with the cooling water and are discharged to the second outer barrel through the delivery port. The dry and cold airflow enters the second fan casing 42 through the airflow outlet. In this way, the effect of dehumidifying and cooling the hot and humid airflow is achieved.

[0256] Here, cooling water includes, but is not limited to, tap water. For example, it can be connected to the main water inlet valve and injection port of the clothing processing equipment through a pipeline, so that the tap water pipeline can be used to supply cooling water to the second air outlet duct 43.
