[0048] The embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this application, but should not be used to limit the scope of this application.

[0049] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the "vertical direction" orientation or positional relationship is based on Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The orientation or positional relationship shown, the "first direction" orientation or positional relationship is based on Figures 1 to 6 The orientation or positional relationship shown, the "second direction" orientation or positional relationship is based on Figures 1 to 6 The orientation or positional relationship shown is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation on the embodiments of this application.

[0050] The various specific technical features and embodiments described in the detailed embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different combinations of specific technical features / embodiments can form different implementation methods. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of various specific technical features / embodiments in this application will not be described separately. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0051] It should be noted that in this application, "down" refers to the direction facing the ground, and "up" is the opposite direction, i.e., the direction facing the sky; "front" refers to the direction facing the operator during the use of the clothing processing equipment, and "back" is the opposite direction; "left" refers to the side where the operator's left hand is when the operator is in front of the clothing processing equipment, and "right" is the opposite direction.

[0052] The first direction, the second direction, and the up and down direction intersect each other. They can be oblique or perpendicular. For example, the first direction, the second direction, and the up and down direction are perpendicular to each other and together form a three-dimensional vertical coordinate system.

[0053] In this application, "multiple" refers to a quantity of two or more. The unit "mm" stands for millimeter.

[0054] In related technologies, since each drum structure is equipped with an independent drying structure, in other words, there is no connection between each drying structure. The drying structure is connected to the drum structure. During the operation of the drum structure, i.e. during the processing of clothes, the drum structure will cause the drying structure to vibrate. A large safety gap needs to be maintained between each drying structure to prevent the risk of collision caused by the vibration generated by the operation of multiple drying structures along with the drum structure.

[0055] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a garment processing device, including multiple first drum assemblies 1 and multiple drying systems. The multiple first drum assemblies 1 are arranged at intervals along a first direction, which intersects with the vertical direction.

[0056] Multiple first drum components 1 can all be used to hold clothes. It is understood that the multiple first drum components 1 can be used to perform the same clothes handling function, or they can be used to perform different clothes handling functions. In one embodiment, the multiple first drum components 1 can be used to wash or dry the same type of clothes, or they can be used to wash or dry different types of clothes. For example, one first drum component 1 can wash or dry underwear, socks, etc., while another first drum component 1 can be used to wash or dry outerwear, etc. This allows for corresponding washing or drying of clothes of different sizes or with different washing or drying requirements, increasing clothes handling efficiency and improving user experience. In another embodiment, one first drum component 1 is used to wash clothes, while another first drum component 1 is used to dry clothes, thus providing multiple clothes handling functions. In still some embodiments, the multiple first drum components 1 can have only a washing function, only a drying function, or both washing and drying functions.

[0057] The number of first cylindrical components 1 can be two, three, or more.

[0058] The number of drying systems can be two, three, or more. Each drying system and the first cylinder assembly 1 can correspond one-to-one; that is, the number of drying systems and the number of first cylinder assembly 1 can be the same.

[0059] For ease of description, this application uses two first cylindrical components 1 as examples in its embodiments.

[0060] It should be noted that multiple first cylinder components 1 can operate simultaneously or separately.

[0061] Each drying system is used to provide a drying function for a first drum assembly 1. Exemplarily, the drying system is able to provide a hot dry airflow to exchange heat and mass with the clothes inside the first drum assembly 1, thereby drying the clothes.

[0062] At least partial connection of multiple drying systems means that at least part of the multiple drying systems are integrated together and fixed as a whole. For example, when there are two drying systems, it can be that at least partial connection of the two drying systems is made.

[0063] For example, when there are three drying systems, two drying systems may be at least partially connected; or all three drying systems may be connected.

[0064] It may be that at least part of the drying system is connected, while another part of the drying system is not connected.

[0065] It can be at least partially connected to all drying systems.

[0066] It should be noted that the connection method of at least two drying systems is not limited, and the at least parts of multiple drying systems can be directly or indirectly connected. Indirect connection means that the at least parts of multiple 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 drying systems, and no other components are used as an intermediate medium for connection.

[0067] For example, at least a portion of the at least two 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.

[0068] An integrated structure refers to a structure formed through a one-piece molding process. For example, at least a portion of at least two drying systems may be integrally molded into an integrated structure. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the two drying systems may be integrated together with other intermediate media to form an integrated structure. For instance, at least a portion of the two drying systems may form an integrated structure with an intermediate media, which may be a connecting plate or a base, as long as it can relatively fix the at least a portion of the two drying systems. Having at least a portion of at least two drying systems as an integrated structure reduces the number of assembly steps for multiple drying systems and reduces the number of fixing structures, such as fasteners, required for multiple drying systems.

[0069] The garment processing equipment provided in this application embodiment has several advantages. First, multiple first drum assemblies 1 can provide zoned garment processing, increasing garment processing efficiency and improving user experience. Second, at least some of the multiple drying systems are integrated together and fixed as a whole. Firstly, compared to related technologies where each drum structure is connected to a separate drying structure, in this application, since at least some of the multiple drying systems are connected, there is no need to reserve safety gaps, making the overall structure of the garment processing equipment more compact and improving market competitiveness. Secondly, it can reduce the assembly steps of multiple drying systems and the fixed structures required for multiple drying systems. Thirdly, multiple drying systems can be assembled into a whole first, and then the whole consisting of multiple drying systems can be assembled into the garment processing equipment, thus reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The garment processing equipment includes a second cylindrical assembly 2 and a housing assembly. The second cylindrical assembly 2 is located below or above a plurality of first cylindrical assemblies 1. The housing assembly has a receiving cavity 5a. The plurality of first cylindrical assemblies 1, the second cylindrical assembly 2 and a plurality of drying systems are all located in the receiving cavity 5a. Parts of the plurality of drying systems are connected to the housing assembly.

[0071] The second drum assembly 2 can be used to hold clothes. In some embodiments, the second drum assembly 2 can be used to wash and / or spin-dry clothes, that is, the second drum assembly 2 has the function of cleaning clothes. The second drying system 4 can provide a drying function for the second drum assembly 2. In this embodiment, the clothes in the second drum assembly 2 can be washed, spin-dryed, and dried.

[0072] The number of second cylindrical components 2 can be one, two, or more.

[0073] For ease of description, this application embodiment uses the second cylindrical component 2 as an example for illustration.

[0074] For example, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second tubular assembly 2 being located below the first tubular assembly 1 means that, in the vertical direction, the axis of the second tubular assembly 2 is lower than the axis of the first tubular assembly 1. For example, the first tubular assembly 1 can be located directly above, to the upper left, or to the upper right of the second tubular assembly 2, etc. This allows for increased garment handling capacity without increasing floor space, facilitating independent operation of the first tubular assembly 1 and the second tubular assembly 2, or sequential operation to achieve different functions.

[0075] It is understandable that the second cylindrical assembly 2 being located above the first cylindrical assembly 1 means that, in the vertical direction, the axis of the second cylindrical assembly 2 is higher than the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 1. For example, the second cylindrical assembly 2 can be located directly above, to the upper left, or to the upper right of the first cylindrical assembly 1, etc.

[0076] It should be noted that the first cylinder assembly 1 and the second cylinder assembly 2 can be operated simultaneously or separately. Multiple first cylinder assemblies 1 can be operated simultaneously or separately.

[0077] All first cylinder assembly 1, second cylinder assembly 2, and drying system are located within the housing assembly, which provides protection for the first cylinder assembly 1, second cylinder assembly 2, and drying system.

[0078] The drying system is connected to the housing assembly, which provides load-bearing support and improves the stability of the drying system. For example, both the first drying system 3 and the second drying system 4 are rigidly connected to the housing assembly. Specifically, the connection points between the first drying system 3 / 2 and the housing assembly are essentially immobile; for example, there is no displacement, angular deviation, or deformation. This immobility of the connection points forms a fixed whole between the first drying system 3 / 2 and the housing assembly, restricting relative movement between them and further enhancing their stability.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The drying system includes a ventilation duct 10, which is connected to the air inlet and air outlet of the first cylinder assembly 1. At least a portion of the ventilation ducts 10 of multiple drying systems are connected.

[0080] The ventilation duct 10 is used to circulate airflow. For example, the dry and hot airflow in the ventilation duct 10 flows into the first cylinder assembly 1 through the air inlet of the first cylinder assembly 1. The dry and hot airflow flows over the surface of the damp clothes, exchanges heat and mass with the damp clothes, absorbs the moisture in the clothes, and becomes a humid and hot airflow. The humid and hot airflow enters the ventilation duct 10 through the air outlet of the first cylinder assembly 1. This cycle repeats to dry the clothes.

[0081] The connection of at least a portion of the ventilation ducts 10 of the multiple drying systems means that at least a portion of the ventilation ducts 10 of the multiple drying systems are integrated together and fixed as a whole.

[0082] It may be that at least a portion of the ventilation duct 10 is connected, while another portion of the ventilation duct 10 is not connected.

[0083] It can be at least a partial connection of all ventilation ducts 10.

[0084] It should be noted that the connection method of at least a portion of the ventilation ducts 10 of at least two drying systems is not limited. For example, at least a portion of the ventilation ducts 10 of at least two drying systems can 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.

[0085] At least a portion of the ventilation ducts 10 of at least two drying systems is an integral structure. In some embodiments, this integral structure fixes at least a portion of the two ventilation ducts in the two drying systems, meaning the distance between the two ventilation ducts is fixed. This reduces the assembly steps of multiple ventilation ducts 10 and the required fixing structures. Furthermore, multiple ventilation ducts 10 can be assembled into a single unit before being assembled into the garment processing equipment, reducing assembly difficulty and improving efficiency. Additionally, by designing the ventilation ducts 10 of the two drying systems as an integral structure, compared to separate configurations, the integral structure eliminates the need to reserve space for vibrations or shaking of the two ventilation ducts 10; only a safety gap is required. This saves installation space for the first connector 341 and the second connector, providing more space for other components.

[0086] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The multiple drying systems include a first drying system 3 and a second drying system 4. The first drying system 3 provides drying function for a first cylinder assembly 1. The ventilation duct 10 of the first drying system 3 includes a first air inlet duct 34 and a first fan assembly 32. The second drying system 4 provides drying function for another first cylinder assembly 1. The ventilation duct 10 of the second drying system 4 includes a second air inlet duct 44 and a second fan assembly 42. At least a portion of the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 are connected.

[0087] For details, please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 are respectively connected to the air inlets of the two corresponding first drum assemblies 1. The dry and hot airflow in the two ventilation ducts 10 flows into the two first drum assemblies 1 through the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44, respectively. In this way, the drying process of the two first drum assemblies 1 is independent and does not affect each other, realizing independent operation and improving the efficiency of clothing processing.

[0088] The connection of at least part of the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 means that at least part of the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 are integrated together and fixed as a whole.

[0089] It can be that a portion of the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 are connected, while the other portions of the two are not connected.

[0090] It can be the connection of all parts of the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44.

[0091] In this way, on the one hand, the assembly steps of the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 can be reduced, as can the fixing structures required for the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 be reduced. On the other hand, the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 can be assembled into a whole first, and then the whole formed by the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 can be assembled into the garment processing equipment. This can reduce the assembly difficulty and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0092] It should be noted that the connection method of at least part of the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 is not limited. For example, at least part of the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 can be an integral structure, a detachable connection, or a non-detachable connection, etc.

[0093] In this embodiment, the first air inlet pipe 34 and the second air inlet pipe 44 have a wavy pleated structure. The first air inlet pipe 34 and the second air inlet pipe 44 can deform and compensate for displacement through the wavy pleats, absorb vibration or transmit pressure, and realize flexible connection between the first drying system 3 and the second drying system 4 and the air inlets of the two first cylinder components 1.

[0094] For example, the first air inlet duct 34 can be a first corrugated pipe, and the second air inlet duct 44 can be a second corrugated pipe. The first and second corrugated pipes are components that can undergo elastic deformation. The materials of the first and second corrugated pipes are not limited. For example, they can be components made of flexible materials such as soft plastic, silicone and / or rubber.

[0095] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 At least a portion of the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42 are connected.

[0096] The first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42 are components used to house the drive structure and guide airflow. Exemplarily, the first drying system 3 includes a first impeller, and the second drying system 4 includes a second impeller; both the first and second impellers are used to drive airflow. The first impeller is disposed within the first fan assembly 32, and the second impeller is disposed within the second fan assembly 42.

[0097] In one embodiment, the first and second wind turbines can be centrifugal wind turbines.

[0098] In another embodiment, the first and second wind turbines may also be axial flow wind turbines or cross flow wind turbines.

[0099] The at least partial connection of the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42 means that at least a portion of the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42 are integrated together and fixed as a whole.

[0100] It is possible that a portion of the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42 are connected, while the other portions of the two are not connected.

[0101] It can be that all parts of the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42 are connected.

[0102] In this way, on the one hand, the assembly steps of the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42 can be reduced, as can the fixing structures required for the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42. On the other hand, the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42 can be assembled into a whole first, and then the whole formed by the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42 can be assembled into the garment processing equipment, which can reduce the assembly difficulty and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0103] In one embodiment, the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42 can be a volute.

[0104] In some embodiments, the first drying system 3 is flexibly connected to the corresponding first cylinder assembly 1. Specifically, the connection between the ventilation duct 10 of the first drying system 3 and the first cylinder assembly 1 can move, for example, it can produce at least one of displacement, angular deviation, and deformation. This movable connection can absorb deformation and compensate for vibration and impact.

[0105] In some embodiments, the second drying system 4 is flexibly connected to the corresponding first cylinder assembly 1. Specifically, the connection between the ventilation duct 10 of the second drying system 4 and the first cylinder assembly 1 can move, for example, it can produce at least one of displacement, angular deviation, and deformation. This movable connection can absorb deformation and compensate for vibration and impact.

[0106] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 are arranged in parallel along the first direction and are located between the two first cylinder assemblies 1. The parallel arrangement of the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 means that the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 are basically kept at the same height, rather than being staggered.

[0107] For example, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 An installation space 1a is defined between the two first cylindrical components 1, and the first air inlet duct 34 and the second air inlet duct 44 are located within the installation space 1a. Thus, the overall structure of the first air inlet duct 34, the second air inlet duct 44, and the two first cylindrical components 1 is compact and does not significantly increase the size of the garment processing equipment along the first direction.

[0108] The garment processing equipment provided in this application embodiment utilizes the installation space 1a between the two first cylinder components 1 to accommodate the first air inlet pipe 34 and the second air inlet pipe 44, making the overall structure layout compact. This facilitates the addition of the first cylinder component 1 to the garment processing equipment and the provision of a drying function for the first cylinder component 1 without increasing the size of the existing box component or meeting the standard size of the box component.

[0109] For example, the standard dimensions can be a height of 850mm in the vertical direction and a width of 600mm in the horizontal direction.

[0110] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first fan assembly 32 includes a first upper shell 322 and a first lower shell 321, and the second fan assembly 42 includes a second upper shell 422 and a second lower shell 421. The first upper shell 322 and the first lower shell 321 together define a first chamber. The second upper shell 422 and the second lower shell 421 together define a second chamber. The first lower shell 321 and the second lower shell 421 are an integral structure.

[0111] Specifically, a first impeller is disposed in the first chamber to drive the airflow within the ventilation duct 10 of the first drying system 3. A second impeller is disposed in the second chamber to drive the airflow within the ventilation duct 10 of the second drying system 4.

[0112] The first lower shell 321 and the second lower shell 421 are an integral structure, meaning they are manufactured using a one-piece molding process and integrated together to form a whole. The first upper shell 322 and the second upper shell 422 share a single lower shell structure, i.e., the lower shell structure formed by the first lower shell 321 and the second lower shell 421. This has several advantages: Firstly, during assembly, the first upper shell 322 and the second upper shell 422 are mounted on a single lower shell structure, reducing the number of assembly steps required between the first upper shell 322 and the second upper shell 422 and the second lower shell 421, thus reducing the need for additional fixing structures. Secondly, the first upper shell and the second upper shell 422 can be assembled onto the lower shell structure first, and then the entire structure can be assembled into the garment processing equipment, reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.

[0113] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The ventilation duct 10 of the first drying system 3 includes a first drying tunnel 31, and the ventilation duct 10 of the second drying system 4 includes a second drying tunnel 41. At least a portion of both the first drying tunnel 31 and the second drying tunnel 41 extends along a second direction. The first air inlet duct 34 connects the first drying tunnel 31 and the air inlet of one of the first cylinder components 1. The second air inlet duct 44 connects the second drying tunnel 41 and the air inlet of the other of the first cylinder components 1. The end of the first drying tunnel 31 away from the first air inlet duct 34 is connected to the first chamber, and the end of the second drying tunnel 41 away from the second air inlet duct 44 is connected to the second chamber. The first direction, the second direction, and the up and down direction intersect each other.

[0114] The first drying tunnel 31 and the second drying tunnel 41 are structures for airflow. For example, each of the first drying tunnel 31 and the second drying tunnel 41 is provided with a heater. The two heaters heat the airflow flowing through the first drying tunnel 31 and the second drying tunnel 41 respectively. The heated dry airflow flows into the two first cylinder assemblies 1 to achieve the drying function.

[0115] The type of heater is not limited; for example, heaters include, but are not limited to, PTC semiconductor heaters or resistance wire heaters, etc.

[0116] Please see Figure 2 At least a portion of both the first drying duct 31 and the second drying duct 41 extends along a second direction, such that the flow path of the airflow within the first drying duct 31 and the second drying duct 41 is approximately along the second direction, resulting in less flow resistance to the airflow.

[0117] Taking the first air inlet duct 34, the first drying tunnel 31, and the first chamber as an example, the airflow flowing out from the first cylinder assembly 1 enters the first chamber, and after being driven by the first impeller, flows into the first drying tunnel 31. The heated dry heat enters the first cylinder assembly 1 through the first air inlet duct 34, forming a circulation. It can be understood that the flow pattern of the airflow in the second air inlet duct 44, the second drying tunnel 41, and the second chamber is roughly the same as described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0118] For example, please refer to Figure 3The first drying tunnel 31 and the second drying tunnel 41 are arranged in parallel along the first direction and are located between the two first cylinder assemblies 1. The parallel arrangement of the first drying tunnel 31 and the second drying tunnel 41 means that the first drying tunnel 31 and the second drying tunnel 41 are basically at the same height, rather than being staggered. That is to say, the first drying tunnel 31 and the second drying tunnel 41 are located within the installation space 1a. In this way, the overall structure of the first drying tunnel 31, the second drying tunnel 41 and the two first cylinder assemblies 1 is compact, which is beneficial for providing drying function from the first cylinder assembly 1 without increasing the size of the existing box assembly or meeting the standard size box assembly.

[0119] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The first upper shell 322 and the second upper shell 422 are arranged in parallel along the first direction and are located between the two first cylindrical body assemblies 1.

[0120] The parallel arrangement of the first upper shell 322 and the second upper shell 422 means that the first upper shell 322 and the second upper shell 422 are basically at the same height, rather than being staggered. That is to say, the first upper shell 322 and the second upper shell 422 are located within the installation space 1a. In this way, the overall structure of the first upper shell 322, the second upper shell 422 and the two first cylinder assemblies 1 is compact and will not increase the size of the clothing processing equipment along the first direction.

[0121] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The ventilation duct 10 of the first drying system 3 includes a first air outlet duct 33, and the ventilation system of the second drying system 4 includes a second air outlet duct 43. The first air outlet duct 33 connects the first fan assembly 32 and the air outlet of one of the first cylinder assemblies 1, and the second air outlet duct 43 connects the second fan assembly 42 and the air outlet of the other of the first cylinder assemblies 1. At least a portion of both the first air outlet duct 33 and the second air outlet duct 43 is located below the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42.

[0122] For details, please continue reading Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first air outlet duct 33 connects the first lower shell 321 and the air outlet of one of the first cylindrical components 1, and the first air outlet duct 33 connects to the first chamber; the second air outlet duct 43 connects the second lower shell 421 and the air outlet of the other one of the first cylindrical components 1, and the second air outlet duct 43 connects to the second chamber.

[0123] The first air outlet duct 33 is a device for condensing and dehumidifying the airflow; that is, the airflow flowing through the first air outlet duct 33 will reduce its temperature and humidity. For example, the first air outlet duct 33 may be a first condenser.

[0124] The second air outlet duct 43 is a device used to condense and dehumidify the airflow; that is, the airflow flowing through the second air outlet duct 43 will reduce the temperature and humidity. For example, the second air outlet duct 43 may be a second condenser.

[0125] Taking the first air outlet duct 33 and the first fan assembly 32 as examples, the first air outlet duct 33 has an exchange chamber, a cooling water inlet, a connecting port, and a venting port. The cooling water inlet, the connecting port, and the venting port are all connected to the exchange chamber. The connecting port is connected to the first cylinder assembly 1. Cooling water enters the exchange chamber through the cooling water inlet. The hot and humid airflow from the air outlet of the first cylinder assembly 1 enters the exchange chamber through the connecting port. 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 water droplets. The water droplets mix with the cooling water and are discharged to the cylinder assembly through the connecting port. The dry and cold airflow enters the first fan assembly 32 through the venting port. In this way, the effect of dehumidifying and cooling the hot and humid airflow is achieved.

[0126] Taking the first air outlet duct 33 and the first fan assembly 32 as examples, the first air outlet duct 33 has an exchange chamber, a cooling water inlet, a connecting port, and a venting port. The cooling water inlet, the connecting port, and the venting port are all connected to the exchange chamber. The connecting port is connected to the first cylindrical assembly 1. Cooling water enters the exchange chamber through the cooling water inlet. The hot and humid airflow from the air outlet of the first cylindrical assembly 1 enters the exchange chamber through the connecting port. 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 water droplets. The water droplets mix with the cooling water and are discharged to the first cylindrical assembly 1 through the connecting port. The dry and cold airflow enters the first fan assembly 32 through the venting port and then flows into the first drying tunnel 31 through the first chamber. In this way, the effect of dehumidifying and cooling the hot and humid airflow is achieved.

[0127] Cooling water includes, but is not limited to, tap water. For example, the main water inlet valve of the garment processing equipment and the first cooling water inlet 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.

[0128] The first drying system 3 in this embodiment can adopt a condenser drying method. The principle of the condenser drying method is as follows: hot dry air enters the first cylinder assembly 1 from the first drying tunnel 31 through the air inlet of the first cylinder assembly 1. In the first cylinder assembly 1, the hot dry air flows over the surface of the wet clothes, exchanges heat and mass with the wet clothes, absorbs the moisture in the clothes, and becomes hot humid air. The hot humid air enters the first air outlet duct 33 through the air outlet of the first cylinder assembly 1. The first air outlet duct 33 condenses and dehumidifies the hot humid air to form a cold dry air. The cold dry air enters the first drying tunnel 31 and is heated into a hot dry air. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous drying of clothes.

[0129] It should be noted that dry, cold airflow is relative to humid, hot airflow, and the temperature of dry, cold airflow is lower than that of humid, hot airflow. In the embodiments of this application, low temperature can be room temperature.

[0130] It is understandable that the second air outlet duct 43 can have the same structure as the first air outlet duct 33 mentioned above. In this way, the process of the hot and humid airflow flowing from the air outlet of the first cylinder assembly 1 through the second air outlet duct 43 and the second fan assembly 42 is roughly the same as described above. That is to say, the second drying system 4 can also adopt the condenser drying method, which will not be elaborated here.

[0131] At least a portion of both the first air outlet duct 33 and the second air outlet duct 43 is located below the first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42. Specifically, with a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction as the projection plane, at least a portion of the projections of the first air outlet duct 33 and the second air outlet duct 43 overlaps with the projections of the interconnected first fan assembly 32 and the second fan assembly 42.

[0132] As an example, a portion of the structure of the first air outlet duct 33 is located below the corresponding connected first fan assembly 32, or the entire structure of the first air outlet duct 33 is located below the corresponding connected first fan assembly 32.

[0133] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the first air outlet duct 33 is located below the correspondingly connected first fan assembly 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 can flow upwards into the first fan assembly 32.

[0134] As an example, a portion of the structure of the second air outlet duct 43 is located below the corresponding connected second fan assembly 42, or the entire structure of the second air outlet duct 43 is located below the corresponding connected second fan assembly 42.

[0135] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the second air outlet duct 43 is located below the correspondingly connected second fan assembly 42, with a compact layout. The second air outlet duct 43 generates dry and cold airflow and condensate. The condensate can flow downwards, and the dry and cold airflow can flow upwards into the second fan assembly 42.

[0136] In some embodiments, both the first air outlet duct 33 and the second air outlet duct 43 are flexible structures.

[0137] 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.

[0138] In this embodiment, the first air outlet duct 33 and the second air outlet duct 43 are flexible structures. The first air outlet duct 33 and the second air outlet duct 43 can absorb energy through material elasticity and / or geometric deformation to achieve displacement compensation, thereby absorbing vibration or transmitting pressure, and respectively achieving flexible connection with the air outlets of the two first cylinder components 1.

[0139] The materials of the first air outlet duct 33 and the second air outlet duct 43 are not limited. For example, they can be components made of flexible materials such as soft plastic, silicone and / or rubber.

[0140] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The first air outlet duct 33 and the second air outlet duct 43 are arranged parallel to each other along the first direction and are located between the two first cylindrical body assemblies 1. The arrangement of the first air outlet duct 33 and the second air outlet duct 43 means that the first air outlet duct 33 and the second air outlet duct 43 are basically at the same height, rather than being staggered. That is to say, the first air outlet duct 33 and the second air outlet duct 43 are located within the installation space 1a. In this way, the overall structure of the first air outlet duct 33, the second air outlet duct 43 and the two first cylindrical body assemblies 1 is compact, which is beneficial for providing condensation and dehumidification function for the hot and humid airflow flowing out of the first cylindrical body assembly 1 without increasing the size of the existing housing assembly or meeting the standard size housing assembly.

[0141] In some embodiments, the first lower shell 321 and the second lower shell 421 are located above the second cylindrical assembly 2.

[0142] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The outer contour of the first cylindrical assembly 1 is cylindrical. As an example, the axes of two adjacent first cylindrical assemblies 1 are aligned, and in the vertical direction, at least a portion of the first drying tunnel 31 and the second drying tunnel 41 are higher than the axes of the two adjacent first cylindrical assemblies 1. It is understood that the distance between the peripheral sidewalls of two adjacent first cylindrical assemblies 1 gradually increases from the axis of the first cylindrical assembly 1 to its highest point, thus facilitating the placement of the first drying tunnel 31 and the second drying tunnel 41 between two adjacent first cylindrical assemblies 1.

[0145] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 Taking the first drying tunnel 31 and the first air inlet pipe 34 as examples, the first drying tunnel 31 includes a first heating section 311, and the first air inlet pipe 34 includes a first connector 341. The first heating section 311 extends along a second direction, and the first connector 341 connects the first heating section 311 and the air inlet of the first cylindrical assembly 1. The end of the first heating section 311 away from the first connector 341 is connected to the first chamber. Specifically, the airflow in the first chamber flows into the first connector 341 through the first heating section 311, and then flows into the first cylindrical assembly 1 through the first connector 341 and the air inlet of the first cylindrical assembly 1, thereby realizing airflow circulation.

[0146] For example, the heater is disposed within the first heating section 311, such that the first heating section 311 can heat the airflow passing through it. The first heating section 311 extends along a second direction, that is, the flow path of the airflow within the first heating section 311 is approximately along the second direction, resulting in low flow resistance and smooth flow.

[0147] The first connector 341 can improve the connection stability between the first heating section 311 and the first cylinder assembly 1. Furthermore, the first connector 341 can also change the direction of airflow to facilitate the arrangement of the first drying tunnel 31 and the first air inlet pipe 34.

[0148] The first heating section 311 can be made of metal, for example, the first heating section 311 can be a sheet metal structural component.

[0149] The first heating section 311 can be made of plastic; for example, the first heating section 311 can be a plastic structural component.

[0150] It should be noted that the second drying tunnel 41 and the second air inlet duct 44 can have the same structure as the aforementioned first drying tunnel 31 and first air inlet duct 34. That is, the second drying tunnel 41 has a second heating section, and the second air inlet duct 44 has a second connector.

[0151] In one embodiment, the first connector 341 and the second connector can be an integral structure. In some implementations, the integral structure can fix at least a portion of the two connectors, that is, fix the distance between the first connector and the second connector. Exemplarily, the first connector 341 and the second connector can be manufactured using an integral molding process. Taking the first connector 341 and the second connector as being made of plastic as an example, they can be integrally injection molded. This can save assembly steps and improve structural strength. Furthermore, by designing the first connector 341 and the second connector as an integral structure, compared to a separate arrangement, the integral structure eliminates the need to reserve space for the first connector 341 and the second connector in case of vibration or shaking of the cylinder; only a safety gap is required. This saves installation space for the first connector 341 and the second connector to some extent, providing more space for other components.

[0152] For example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The opening of the first heating section 311 faces the end in the second direction, the air inlet of the first cylindrical assembly 1 faces the end in the first direction, and part of the first connector 341 is bent toward the air inlet of the first cylindrical assembly 1. In this way, the first heating section 311 and the air inlet of the first cylindrical assembly 1 are connected by the bent first connector 341. This not only makes it convenient to set up the first heating section 311 and the first cylindrical assembly 1, but also makes the overall structure of the first heating section 311, the first connector 341 and the first cylindrical assembly 1 compact and reduces the space occupied.

[0153] In some embodiments, the first cylindrical assembly 1 includes a first outer cylinder and a first inner cylinder, with the peripheral sidewall of the first outer cylinder forming an air outlet; the first inner cylinder is rotatably disposed inside the first outer cylinder. That is, the first cylindrical assembly 1 can be a double-cylinder structure.

[0154] 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. The first insertion port is connected to the first clothing cavity, and the user can put clothes into or take them out of the first clothing cavity through the first insertion port. During the rotation of the first inner drum, the clothes are moved from bottom to top. Under the action of gravity, the clothes fall from top to bottom. In this way, the clothes are repeatedly dispersed, shaken, and have their posture changed under the combined action of the first inner drum and gravity.

[0155] The first outer barrel is fitted over the first inner barrel, and the first outer barrel is used to hold water. In this embodiment, the first inner barrel holds water through the first outer barrel, and the first inner barrel can be referred to as a perforated inner barrel.

[0156] For example, please refer to Figure 4 Taking two first cylindrical components 1 as an example: there are two first outer barrels, and both air outlets are formed on the peripheral sidewalls of the two first outer barrels near the installation space 1a. In other words, the two air outlets face the space between the two first cylindrical components 1, i.e., the installation space 1a. This makes it easier for operators to install the two first air outlet pipes 33 between the two first cylindrical components 1, reducing assembly difficulty.

[0157] In one embodiment, the outline shape of both the first inner cylinder and the first outer cylinder can be cylindrical.

[0158] In one embodiment, the garment handling device includes a first door for covering or opening a first loading port.

[0159] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The first cylindrical assembly 1 includes a first door seal ring 11, which is disposed at one end of the first outer cylinder along the second direction, and forms an air inlet.

[0160] The first door seal 11 is generally a closed loop 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 11 tightly against the first outer barrel. That is, the first door seal 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 inside the first outer barrel from leaking into the housing assembly.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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. The airflow from the air inlet 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] For example, please refer to Figure 1 Taking two first cylindrical body components 1 as an example: there are two first door seal rings 11, and both air inlets are formed on the peripheral sidewalls of the two first door seal rings 11 near the installation space 1a. In other words, the two air inlets are roughly oriented towards the space between the two first cylindrical body components 1, i.e., the installation space 1a. This makes it easier for operators to set the two first drying tunnels 31 between the two first cylindrical body components 1, reducing assembly difficulty.

[0165] In some embodiments, taking the first air outlet duct 33 and the first lower shell 321 as examples, the first air outlet duct 33 includes a ventilation port, the ventilation port is formed with at least one pleat, and the first lower shell 321 is connected to the ventilation port.

[0166] There can be one, two, three, or more folds, etc.

[0167] In this embodiment, the pleats are undulating structures in a wave-like manner. The pleats can achieve elastic deformation through the compression and unfolding of the waveform, thereby compensating for displacement, absorbing vibration, or transmitting pressure.

[0168] In some embodiments, the vent port is pre-compressed and connected to the first lower housing 321. Specifically, the length of the vent port in the assembled state is less than the length of the vent port in the free state.

[0169] The vent port in the assembled state refers to the state in which the vent port is connected to the first lower shell 321.

[0170] In its free state, the vent port refers to a state where the vent port is not assembled and is not subjected to deformation forces such as compression and tension. The wavy folds of the vent port are in a naturally relaxed and undeformed state.

[0171] In this embodiment, the vent port is pre-compressed and connected to the first lower shell 321. That is, the vent port is assembled to the first lower shell 321 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 lower shell 321 will be at least partially offset by the pre-compression deformation.

[0172] It should be noted that the second air outlet duct 43 and the second lower shell 421 can be connected in the same way as the aforementioned first air outlet duct 33 and first lower shell 321, which will not be described again here.

[0173] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The housing assembly 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 drying system is connected to the crossbeam 6 by fasteners.

[0174] For example, the first drying system 3 and the second drying system 4 are connected to the crossbeam 6 by fasteners.

[0175] There can be one, two, three or more crossbeams.

[0176] Fasteners are used to securely connect the first drying system 3 and the second drying system 4 to the crossbeam 6. The fasteners are rigid components; exemplary, fasteners include, but are not limited to, screws, bolts, and / or rivets, etc.

[0177] 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 fasteners suspend the first drying system 3 and the second drying system 4 to the crossbeam 6, realizing a rigid connection between the first drying system 3, the second drying system 4 and the box assembly, and the force of the first drying system 3 and the second drying system 4 can be transmitted to the crossbeam 6 and the frame 5 to improve structural stability.

[0178] The material of frame 5 is not limited; it can be made of metal, such as stainless steel.

[0179] The material of the crossbeam 6 is not limited; it can be made of metal, such as stainless steel.

[0180] For ease of description, the following embodiments use the first drying system 3 as an example. It should be noted that the connection method between the second drying system 4 and the crossbeam 6 can be the same as the connection method between the first drying system 3 and the crossbeam 6.

[0181] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first drying system 3 includes a first drying tunnel 31, a fastener includes a first fastener, the crossbeam 6 includes a first beam 61, at least a portion of the first drying tunnel 31 is located below the first beam 61, and the first fastener passes through the first beam 61 and the first drying tunnel 31.

[0182] As an example, part of the structure of the first drying tunnel 31 is located below the first beam 61, or the entire structure of the first drying tunnel 31 is located below the first beam 61.

[0183] Taking the first fastener as a screw as an example, the first drying tunnel 31 can form a first stud, and the first fastener is threadedly connected to the first stud.

[0184] In this embodiment, the first drying tunnel 31 is rigidly connected to the first beam 61 using a first fastener, so that the first drying tunnel 31 can be stably suspended below the first beam 61.

[0185] It should be noted that when there are multiple first drying tunnels 31, each first drying tunnel 31 can be fixed to the first beam 61 by at least one first fastener.

[0186] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fasteners include a second fastener, the crossbeam 6 includes a second beam 62, at least a portion of the first lower shell 321 is located below the second beam 62, and the second fastener passes through the second beam 62 and the first lower shell 321.

[0187] As an example, part of the structure of the first lower shell 321 is located below the second beam 62, or the entire structure of the first lower shell 321 is located below the second beam 62.

[0188] Taking the second fastener as a screw as an example, the first lower shell 321 can form a second stud, and the second fastener is threadedly connected to the second stud.

[0189] In this embodiment, the first lower shell 321 is rigidly connected to the second beam 62 using a second fastener, so that the first lower shell 321 can be stably suspended below the second beam 62.

[0190] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first beam 61 and the second beam 62 can be arranged at intervals along a second direction. For example, the second beam 62 can be located behind the first beam 61, and the first lower shell 321 can be located behind the first drying tunnel 31. In this embodiment, the second direction can be a front-rear direction.

[0191] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fasteners include a third fastener, 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 lower shell 321 is located below the third beam 63, and the third fastener passes through the third beam 63 and the first lower shell 321.

[0192] Specifically, a portion of the first lower shell 321 is located below the second beam 62, and another portion of the first lower shell 321 is located below the third beam 63.

[0193] Taking the third fastener as a screw as an example, the first lower shell 321 can form a third stud, and the third fastener is threadedly connected to the third stud.

[0194] In this embodiment, the first lower shell 321 is rigidly connected to the third beam 63 using a third fastener, and the first lower shell 321 is supported by the second beam 62 and the third beam 63, so that the first lower shell 321 can be stably suspended below the second beam 62 and the third beam 63.

[0195] In some embodiments, a plurality of first fasteners are spaced apart along a first direction. This can be used to secure one or more first drying tunnels 31 and improve the uniformity of force distribution.

[0196] In some embodiments, multiple second fasteners are spaced apart along the first direction. This enhances the connection stability of the first lower housing 321 and improves the uniformity of force distribution.

[0197] In some embodiments, multiple third fasteners are spaced apart along the first direction. This enhances the connection stability of the first lower housing 321 and improves the uniformity of force distribution.

[0198] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The garment processing equipment includes a second drum assembly 2 and multiple drying systems including a first drying system 3, a second drying system 4 and a third drying system 7. The third drying system 7 is used to provide drying function for the second drum assembly 2, and part of the third drying system 7 is located between the first drying system 3, the second drying system 4 and the second drum assembly 2.

[0199] The third drying system 7 can provide hot air, which exchanges heat and mass with the clothes inside the second drum assembly 2 to dry the clothes.

[0200] The second cylinder assembly 2 and the third drying system 7 can correspond one-to-one; in other words, the number of the second cylinder assembly 2 and the third drying system 7 is the same.

[0201] For example, please refer to Figure 3 The first drying system 3, the second drying system 4, the third drying system 7, and the second cylinder assembly 2 are arranged vertically. The third drying system 7 is located between two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1. This makes full use of the installation space 1a between the first drying system 3, the two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1, and the second cylinder assembly 2, which is beneficial for providing drying function for the second cylinder assembly 2 without increasing the size of the existing box assembly or meeting the standard size box assembly.

[0202] In one embodiment, the axes of two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1 are aligned, and at least a portion of the third drying system 7 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 third drying system 7 between the two adjacent first cylinder assemblies 1.

[0203] 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.

[0204] The second inner drum is used to hold clothes. Specifically, the second inner drum has a second clothing cavity, and the second outer drum has a second loading port that 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.

[0205] 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.

[0206] In some embodiments, the diameter of the first inner cylinder may be smaller than the diameter of the second inner cylinder. The second cylinder assembly 2 is capable of handling larger or larger quantities of clothing, such as coats and bed sheets, while the first cylinder assembly 1 is capable of handling smaller or smaller quantities of clothing, such as socks, underwear, or baby clothes.

[0207] 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 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.

[0208] For example, the garment handling device includes a second door for concealing or opening a second loading port.

[0209] The second door seal is roughly a closed loop structure, encircling the second dispensing opening. When the second door body covers the second dispensing opening, it presses the second door seal tightly against the second outer barrel. In other words, the second door seal seals 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.
