Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and more particularly to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, taking a clothes dryer as an example, since the clothes processing drum is in a rotating state, considering the issues of power supply and signal transmission, electrical components such as units that detect the status of clothes and units that perform specific functions cannot be directly placed inside the clothes processing drum. If it is necessary to determine whether the clothes are completely dried, the unit that detects the status of clothes can only be placed at the air inlet and outlet of the clothes processing drum. The difference in airflow at the air inlet and outlet is used to determine whether the clothes are dried. This method has low detection accuracy, and the electrical components cannot sense the status of clothes at close range and perform specific functions. Utility Model Content

[0045] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The type of clothing processing device 1 is not limited; it can be a dryer or a washer-dryer combo, etc., and is not restricted here. Exemplarily, this application embodiment uses a dryer as an example for illustration.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The garment processing cylinder 10 can be a single-cylinder structure, meaning that the garment processing device 1 has only one cylinder, the garment processing cylinder 10. Of course, in other examples, the garment processing device 1 may also include an outer cylinder, which is located circumferentially outside the garment processing cylinder 10.

[0047] This application describes an example of a garment processing device 1 with a single-tube structure.

[0048] For example, the garment processing drum 10 is generally hollow and cylindrical. The garment processing drum 10 may be made of metal, such as stainless steel, etc., and there is no limitation on this.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clothing processing cylinder 10 has a clothing processing chamber 10a.

[0050] The garment handling chamber 10a is used for placing and drying clothes, and the garment handling drum 10 can rotate the clothes. Taking a tumble dryer as an example, the rotation axis of the garment handling drum 10 is horizontal, and the front of the garment handling drum 10 has a garment inlet, through which the user puts or takes out the garment handling chamber 10a. During the rotation of the garment handling drum 10, the clothes are moved from bottom to top, and under the action of gravity, the clothes fall from top to bottom. In this way, the clothes are dispersed, shaken, and their posture is changed under the combined action of the garment handling drum 10 and gravity.

[0051] Please see Figures 1 to 10 This application provides a clothing processing device 1, which includes a housing 11, a clothing processing tube 10, a wireless power supply component, and an installation component 19.

[0052] The garment processing tube 10 is disposed inside the housing 11. Specifically, the garment processing tube 10 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 11.

[0053] The housing 11 is an external component of the clothing processing equipment 1, which can protect the internal clothing processing drum 10.

[0054] The wireless power supply component includes a transmitter module 12 and a receiver module 13. The receiver module 13 is used to receive electromagnetic signals emitted by the transmitter module 12 and generate induced current.

[0055] As an example, at least a portion of the receiving module 13 is disposed in the clothing handling tube 10.

[0056] The fact that at least a portion of the receiving module 13 is disposed in the clothing processing tube 10 means that a portion of the structure of the receiving module 13 is disposed in the clothing processing tube 10; or, the entire structure of the receiving module 13 is disposed in the clothing processing tube 10.

[0057] The transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 can achieve wireless connection through electromagnetic induction.

[0058] Exemplarily, the transmitting module 12 can be electrically connected to the main control board of the clothing processing device 1. The main control board is used to control the operation of the clothing processing device 1 and supply power to various parts within the clothing processing device 1, enabling the circuits of each part to work normally, so as to realize functions such as drying control. Exemplarily, the transmitting module 12 is electrically connected to the main control board via a cable to receive the power supplied by the main control board, thereby enabling it to transmit electromagnetic signals to the receiving module 13.

[0059] The transmitting module 12 is wirelessly connected to the receiving module 13, meaning that the transmitting module 12 can wirelessly transmit power to the receiving module 13. Thus, the electrical components installed in the clothing handling drum 10 can be electrically connected to the receiving module 13, which supplies power to the components to meet their power needs.

[0060] It should be noted that an electrical component can be a structural element capable of performing an electrical function and / or used in a circuit to perform at least one electrical function. The number of electrical components can be one, two, three, or more.

[0061] The electrical components can be units for detecting the condition of the clothing, as well as other units that can have specific functions to improve drying performance. For example, the unit for detecting the condition of the clothing can be for detecting the temperature, conductivity, etc. of the clothing.

[0062] For example, at least a portion of the receiving module 13 is disposed in the garment processing drum 10. Electrical components, such as units for detecting the state of the garments, can be disposed within the garment processing drum 10 and electrically connected to the receiving module 13 to obtain electrical energy. When the garment processing drum 10 rotates, the receiving module 13 and the electrical components rotate synchronously. The electrical connection between the receiving module 13 and the electrical components is relatively stable, and the receiving module 13 can also receive electrical energy transmitted from the transmitting module 12 during rotation. Thus, the electrical components disposed within the garment processing drum 10 can sense the state of the garments at close range and perform specific functions, thereby improving the working performance of the garment processing device 1. For example, this can improve the judgment performance of the garment processing device 1.

[0063] Mounting member 19 is connected to housing 11, and at least a portion of the transmitting module 12 is disposed on mounting member 19. That is, at least a portion of the transmitting module 12 is assembled to housing 11 via mounting member 19.

[0064] For example, at least a portion of the transmitter module 12 may be assembled with the mounting component 19 first, and then the whole assembly may be assembled into the housing 11. Alternatively, the mounting component 19 may be assembled into the housing 11 first, and then at least a portion of the transmitter module 12 may be assembled into the mounting component 19.

[0065] It should be noted that at least a portion of the transmitting module 12 is disposed on the mounting component 19. This could mean that a portion of the structure of the transmitting module 12 is disposed on the mounting component 19, or that the entire structure of the transmitting module 12 is disposed on the mounting component 19.

[0066] The garment processing device 1 provided in this application embodiment has several advantages. First, the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 can transmit electrical energy without contact, eliminating the need for wire connections and ensuring high reliability. Furthermore, the electrical components of the garment processing device 1 can be housed within the garment processing drum 10, with the receiving module 13 supplying power to them. This facilitates meeting the power requirements of the electrical components and allows for close-range sensing of the garment's condition, thereby improving the overall performance of the garment processing device 1. Second, the transmitting module 12 is connected to the housing 11 via the mounting component 19, enhancing installation flexibility and reducing the design complexity associated with a direct connection between the transmitting module 12 and the housing 11.

[0067] Understandably, in some examples, the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 can transmit signals in addition to transmitting electrical energy. That is, the clothing information detected by the electrical components can be transmitted to the receiving module 13, and the receiving module 13 can then transmit the information to the transmitting module 12.

[0068] Of course, in other embodiments, the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 may only transmit electrical energy. The clothing processing device 1 may be equipped with a wireless transmission unit. The receiving module 13 can provide electrical energy to the wireless transmission unit, and the wireless transmission unit can receive clothing information detected by electrical components and transmit it wirelessly.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 The housing 11 includes a rear plate 111, and a mounting member 19 is connected to the rear plate 111. At least a portion of the transmitting module 12 is disposed on the mounting member 19, that is, at least a portion of the transmitting module 12 is assembled to the rear plate 111 via the mounting member 19.

[0070] It should be noted that the rear panel 111 refers to the component of the housing 11 located on the rear side of the garment processing equipment 1 in the front-to-back direction. The rear side is the side of the garment processing equipment 1 that is furthest from the user after installation.

[0071] For example, at least a portion of the transmitter module 12 may be assembled as a whole with the mounting member 19 before the whole assembly is assembled to the rear panel 111. Alternatively, the mounting member 19 may be assembled to the rear panel 111 before at least a portion of the transmitter module 12 is assembled to the mounting member 19.

[0072] In this embodiment, the transmitting module 12 is connected to the rear plate 111 via the mounting component 19, which can improve installation flexibility and reduce the design difficulty caused by directly connecting the transmitting module 12 and the rear plate 111.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 The garment processing tube 10 includes a tube body 101 and a rear cover 102. The rear cover 102 is located at the rear end of the tube body 101, and at least a portion of the receiving module 13 is located on the rear cover 102.

[0074] Specifically, the front of the tube body 101 is open to form a clothing loading port, and the rear end cooperates with the rear cover 102. The tube body 101 and the rear cover 102 together define the clothing processing chamber 10a. Exemplarily, the rear end of the tube body 101 can be detachably connected to the rear cover 102.

[0075] It is understandable that the side of the rear cover 102 away from the cylinder body 101 is sealed to the rear plate 111, and the rear cover 102 can rotate relative to the rear plate 111 to form a dynamic sealing connection.

[0076] It should be noted that at least a portion of the receiving module 13 is disposed on the rear cover 102. In this case, the entire structure of the receiving module 13 may be disposed on the rear cover 102, and the receiving module 13 may be disposed on the side of the rear cover 102 facing the rear plate 111 or the side of the rear cover 102 facing the cylinder body 101. Alternatively, a portion of the receiving module 13 may be disposed on the rear cover 102, and this portion may be disposed on the side of the rear cover 102 facing the rear plate 111 or the side of the rear cover 102 facing the cylinder body 101. The other portion of the receiving module 13 may be disposed inside the cylinder body 101 or in other locations, without any restrictions.

[0077] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the transmitting module 12 is fixed to the rear plate 111 by the mounting member 19, and at least a portion of the receiving module 13 is disposed on the rear cover 102. While providing sufficient installation space and installation safety for the transmitting module 12, the distance between the transmitting module 12 and the receiving module 13 can be shortened, increasing the reliability of power transmission. At the same time, it can also reduce the probability of interference between the electrical connection between the transmitting module 12 and the main control board and the clothing handling tube 10, increasing the reliability of the electrical connection between the transmitting module 12 and the main control board.

[0078] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the transmitting module 12 and the mounting member 19 are located on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the rear cover 102. For example, the transmitting module 12 is an integrated component, with the transmitting module 12 and the mounting member 19 disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the rear cover 102. As another example, a portion of the structure of the transmitting module 12 and the mounting member 19 are disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the rear cover 102, while other components of the transmitting module 12 are disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 away from the rear cover 102. That is, the various components of the transmitting module 12 are distributed across different locations on the rear plate 111.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The transmitting module 12 includes a transmitting coil 121, and the receiving module 13 includes a receiving coil 131. The receiving coil 131 is used to receive the electromagnetic signal emitted by the transmitting coil 121 and generate an induced current. The transmitting coil 121, the receiving coil 131 and the clothing processing tube 10 are coaxially arranged.

[0080] Specifically, the transmitting coil 121 generates a changing magnetic field, and the receiving coil 131 generates an induced current through electromagnetic induction, receiving electrical energy from the transmitting coil 121 and outputting electrical energy.

[0081] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the clothing processing drum 10, regardless of the position of the receiving coil 131 as it rotates with the clothing processing drum 10, the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121 always maintain a relative state. This allows the receiving coil 131 to continuously and stably receive the electrical energy transmitted by the transmitting coil 121, thereby continuously providing power to the electrical components of the clothing processing drum 10. In other words, during the rotation of the clothing processing drum 10, the receiving coil 131 can always provide effective and sufficient power to the electrical components, eliminating the need for additional auxiliary power supply structures and increasing the power supply reliability of the clothing processing device 1.

[0082] In some embodiments, for example, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are generally in a ring-shaped structure.

[0083] In some embodiments, the mounting member 19 may be disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the rear cover 102, or the mounting member 19 may be disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 away from the rear cover 102.

[0084] In some embodiments, the transmitting coil 121 may be disposed on the side of the mounting member 19 near the rear plate 111, or the transmitting coil 121 may be disposed on the side of the mounting member 19 away from the rear plate 111.

[0085] It is understood that the transmitting coil 121 can be directly connected to the mounting component 19, or it can be indirectly connected to the mounting component 19. For example, the transmitting coil 121 can be connected to the first bracket 122, and the first bracket 122 is connected to the mounting component 19. In this way, the transmitting coil 121 is fixed to the mounting component 19 through the first bracket 122.

[0086] In some embodiments, the receiving coil 131 may be disposed on the side of the rear cover 102 facing the rear plate 111, or the receiving coil 131 may be disposed on the side of the rear cover 102 away from the rear plate 111.

[0087] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 can be arranged at a relative interval.

[0088] The transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 can be arranged relatively at intervals, which means that there is a certain interval between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131, and with a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction as the projection plane, the projection of the transmitting coil 121 and the projection of the receiving coil 131 overlap at least partially.

[0089] For example, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 can always remain coaxial and relative to each other, that is, no matter where the clothes handling drum 10 rotates to, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 always remain coaxial and relative to each other. The transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 can also be coaxial and relative to each other at a specific position, that is, the receiving coil 131 can move to the set position and be coaxial and relative to the transmitting coil 121 as the clothes handling drum 10 rotates.

[0090] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are arranged opposite each other, so as to reduce the impact of the rotating clothes handling drum 10 on the transmitting coil 121 and increase installation safety.

[0091] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The clothing handling tube 10 includes a back cover 102, a transmitting module 12 includes a transmitting coil 121, a receiving module 13 includes a receiving coil 131, a mounting member 19 is disposed on the side of the back plate 111 facing the back cover 102, the transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the side of the mounting member 19 away from the back plate 111, and the receiving coil 131 is disposed on the side of the back cover 102 facing the back plate 111.

[0092] Mounting member 19 is located on the side of rear panel 111 facing rear cover 102, that is, mounting member 19 is located on the front side of rear panel 111.

[0093] The transmitting coil 121 is located on the side of the mounting member 19 away from the rear plate 111, that is, the transmitting coil 121 is located on the front side of the mounting member 19.

[0094] The receiving coil 131 is located on the side of the rear cover 102 facing the rear plate 111, that is, the receiving coil 131 is located on the rear side of the rear cover 102.

[0095] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 121 can be positioned close to the receiving coil 131, reducing the distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131. There are no structures such as the back plate 111, the mounting piece 19, or the back plate 111 obstructing the transmission coil 121 and the receiving coil 131, thus improving reliability.

[0096] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The receiving module 13 includes a receiving coil 131 and a receiving circuit board 133. The receiving coil 131 is disposed on the rear cover 102, and the receiving circuit board 133 is electrically connected to the receiving coil 131.

[0097] For example, the receiving circuit board 133 includes a modulation / demodulation circuit and a power output circuit. The modulation / demodulation circuit can realize signal conversion, and the power output circuit can realize the output of electrical energy.

[0098] In some embodiments, the receiving circuit board 133 and the receiving coil 131 can be electrically connected via conductive wires.

[0099] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The garment processing device 1 includes a lifting rib 14, which protrudes radially from the circumferential inner wall of the garment processing cylinder 10, and a receiving circuit board 133 is disposed within the lifting rib 14.

[0100] Specifically, the lifting rib 14 can contact the clothes inside the clothes processing chamber 10a and drive the clothes to rotate with the clothes processing cylinder 10. For example, the clothes move upward under the action of the lifting rib 14, and then move downward under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, so that the clothes continuously change their posture inside the clothes processing chamber 10a.

[0101] In this embodiment, the lifting rib 14 provides mounting space for the receiving circuit board 133, reducing the chance of the receiving circuit board 133 coming into contact with clothing and increasing the installation reliability of the receiving circuit board 133. Of course, electrical components can also be housed within the lifting rib 14, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0102] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 The garment processing device 1 includes a conical cap 18, one end of which is connected to the side of the rear cover 102 near the cylinder 101, and the receiving circuit board 133 is located inside the conical cap 18.

[0103] Specifically, a conical cap 18 is disposed on the clothes processing drum 10. One end of the conical cap 18 is connected to the side of the rear cover 102 near the drum body 101, and the other end extends toward the inside of the drum body 101. The conical cap 18 can disperse the clothes during the rotation of the clothes processing drum 10, reducing the chance of clothes tangling or knotting, making the drying of clothes more uniform and improving the drying effect of clothes.

[0104] For example, the conical cap 18 can be connected to the portion of the rear cover 102 that is approximately at the center.

[0105] In this embodiment, the receiving circuit board 133 is disposed inside the conical cap 18. The conical cap 18 provides installation space for the receiving circuit board 133, and the conical cap 18 can reduce the probability of the receiving circuit board 133 coming into contact with clothing to a certain extent, thereby increasing the installation reliability of the receiving circuit board 133.

[0106] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10The transmitting module 12 includes a transmitting coil 121 and a transmitting circuit board 123. The transmitting circuit board 123 is electrically connected to the transmitting coil 121. The transmitting circuit board 123 is disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 away from the clothes handling drum 10. The mounting member 19 is disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the clothes handling drum 10. The transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the mounting member 19.

[0107] For example, the transmitting circuit board 123 includes a modem circuit and a power supply circuit. The modem circuit can convert signals, and the power supply circuit can transmit electrical energy to the receiving module 13. The transmitting module 12 can be electrically connected to the main control board through the transmitting circuit board 123.

[0108] In some embodiments, the transmitting circuit board 123 and the transmitting coil 121 can be electrically connected via conductive wires.

[0109] In this embodiment, both the transmitting coil 121 and the transmitting circuit board 123 are disposed on the rear plate 111, which facilitates shortening the connection distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the transmitting circuit board 123, reducing the probability of electromagnetic interference and reducing power loss.

[0110] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The transmitting module 12 includes a transmitting coil 121, a transmitting circuit board 123 and a first bracket 122. The transmitting circuit board 123 is electrically connected to the transmitting coil 121. The transmitting circuit board 123 and the transmitting coil 121 are integrated into the first bracket 122. The first bracket 122 is connected to the mounting component 19.

[0111] In this embodiment, the transmitting coil 121 and the transmitting circuit board 123 are integrated by the first bracket 122, eliminating the need for electrical connections between them via wires. This reduces the high assembly load caused by interlaced wires, facilitates power transmission, and minimizes power loss and electromagnetic interference. With the transmitting coil 121 and the transmitting circuit board 123 positioned on the same plane, the overall structure of the transmitting module 12 is simple and compact, and the installation and maintenance of each component are highly convenient. The first bracket 122 provides mounting support for the transmitting coil 121 and the transmitting circuit board 123, increasing their installation stability.

[0112] In some embodiments, the mounting member 19 may be disposed on the side of the rear plate 111 facing the garment handling drum 10, the first bracket 122 may be disposed on the side of the mounting member 19 away from the rear plate 111, and the transmitting coil 121 may be disposed on the side of the first bracket 122 away from the mounting member 19. When the receiving coil 131 is disposed on the rear cover 102, the distance between the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 is relatively close, so that the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131 are arranged relatively spaced apart.

[0113] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 6 The receiving module 13 includes a receiving coil 131, a receiving circuit board 133, and a second bracket 132. The receiving circuit board 133 is electrically connected to the receiving coil 131, and the receiving circuit board 133 and the receiving coil 131 are integrated in the second bracket 132.

[0114] In this embodiment, the receiving coil 131 and the receiving circuit board 133 are integrated by the second bracket 132, eliminating the need to connect them with wires. This reduces the assembly complexity caused by intertwined wires, facilitates power transmission, and minimizes filtering losses and electromagnetic interference. Since the receiving coil 131 and the receiving circuit board 133 are mounted on the same plane, the overall structure of the receiving module 13 is simple and compact, and the installation and maintenance of each component are highly convenient. The second bracket 132 provides mounting support for the receiving coil 131 and the receiving circuit board 133, increasing their installation stability.

[0115] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The garment processing equipment 1 includes a detection unit 15, which is used to detect the electrical conductivity of the garments in the garment processing chamber 10a. The detection unit 15 is electrically connected to the receiving module 13.

[0116] Specifically, the detection unit 15 is located in the garment processing drum 10.

[0117] It is understood that the detection unit 15 is one of the aforementioned electrical components.

[0118] The detection unit 15 can detect the conductivity of the load, such as clothing, within the clothing processing chamber 10a. The clothing processing equipment 1 can determine the degree of drying based on the conductivity detected by the detection unit 15. For example, the detection principle of the detection unit 15 can be as follows: the load, such as clothing, within the clothing processing chamber 10a contacts the two detection electrodes 151 of the detection unit 15, causing the detection circuit of the detection unit 15 to conduct. The resistance values ​​of the load, such as clothing, have different levels of moisture; that is, the degree of moisture of the load, such as clothing, is related to its conductivity, and the degree of drying is determined based on the conductivity.

[0119] In this embodiment, the detection unit 15 is disposed inside the clothing processing drum 10, and the receiving module 13 provides power to the detection unit 15. The detection electrode 151 of the detection unit 15 can contact the clothing and other loads in the clothing processing chamber 10a, thereby sensing the degree of drying of the clothing at close range and effectively improving the accuracy of judging the degree of drying of the clothing and other loads in the clothing processing drum 10.

[0120] The installation position of the detection unit 15 inside the garment processing drum 10 is not limited.

[0121] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The garment processing device 1 includes a lifting rib 14, which protrudes radially from the circumferential inner wall of the garment processing cylinder 10. The detection unit 15 includes a detection electrode 151 and a detection circuit that are electrically connected to each other. The detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14, and the detection circuit is disposed inside the lifting rib 14. The detection circuit is electrically connected to the receiving module 13.

[0122] The lifting rib 14 protrudes radially from the surface of the garment processing cavity 10a in order to agitate the garment.

[0123] Specifically, the detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14, which facilitates close contact with loads such as clothing. The detection circuit is disposed inside the lifting rib 14. That is, while the lifting rib 14 can be used to move the clothing in the clothing processing cavity 10a, it can also provide installation space for the detection circuit, thereby reducing the probability of the detection circuit contacting the clothing to a certain extent and increasing the installation and working reliability of the detection unit 15.

[0124] For example, the receiving circuit board 133 may have a detection circuit, and the receiving circuit board 133 may be disposed within the lifting rib 14.

[0125] In this embodiment, the detection circuit can be disposed within the lifting rib 14, and the lifting rib 14, including the detection circuit, is not affected by the clothing or other loads within the clothing processing cavity 10a. The detection electrode 151 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14 so that the detection electrode 151 can contact the clothing.

[0126] For example, in some embodiments, the detection electrode 151 may be entirely located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14 along the circumferential direction, while in other embodiments, a portion of the detection electrode 151 may be located on one outer side of the lifting rib 14 along the circumferential direction, and another portion may be located on the top side of the lifting rib 14 radially away from the peripheral sidewall of the clothing processing tube 10.

[0127] The specific structure of the detection electrode 151 is not limited.

[0128] For example, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8The detection electrode 151 includes a first electrode and a second electrode, both located on the outer surface of the lifting rib 14. The first electrode includes a first connecting structure 1511 and at least two first teeth 1512 connected to the first connecting structure 1511. The second electrode includes a second connecting structure 1513 and at least two second teeth 1514 connected to the second connecting structure 1513. The first teeth 1512 and the second teeth 1514 are arranged alternately. That is, there is one second tooth 1514 between any two adjacent first teeth 1512, and the distance between the first teeth 1512 and the second teeth 1514 is greater than zero.

[0129] In this embodiment, the first tooth 1512 and the second tooth 1514 are arranged alternately to form an interdigitated structure. One first tooth 1512 and one second tooth 1514 constitute an electrode pair. The detection electrode 151 has at least two electrode pairs. The clothing contacts at least two electrode pairs. The conduction between each electrode pair can be regarded as a resistor. At least two electrode pairs can be regarded as at least two resistors in parallel, thereby making the detection of changes in conductivity more sensitive, improving the detection accuracy and sensitivity of the detection electrode 151, reducing problems such as incomplete drying or over-drying to a certain extent, and improving drying performance.

[0130] The specific structural form of the first tooth 1512 is not limited; it can be plate-shaped or columnar, etc. The specific structural form of the second tooth 1514 is not limited; it can be plate-shaped or columnar, etc. Among them, the cross-sectional shape of the columnar shape is not limited; it can be circular or polygonal, etc. Polygons include quadrilaterals, pentagons, etc. It can be understood that polygons can include rounded polygons.

[0131] Both the first electrode and the second electrode are made of conductive materials; for example, both the first electrode and the second electrode are made of metal.

[0132] In some embodiments, the first electrode element can be a one-piece molded structure. That is, the first connecting structure 1511 and the first tooth 1512, etc., can be manufactured as a single piece.

[0133] In some embodiments, the second electrode can be a one-piece molded structure. That is, the second connecting structure 1513 and the second tooth 1514, etc., can be manufactured as a single piece.

[0134] The specific structure of the first support 122 is not limited.

[0135] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The first bracket 122 includes an annular body 1221 and a connecting ear 1222 connected to the annular body 1221. The transmitting coil 121 is disposed on the annular body 1221, and the connecting ear 1222 is connected to the rear plate 111.

[0136] In this embodiment, the annular body 1221 provides installation space for the transmitting coil 121, and the connecting ear 1222 is connected to the rear plate 111. The annular body 1221 and the connecting ear 1222 stabilize the installation position of the transmitting coil 121 in the clothing processing equipment 1, reduce the probability of damage to the transmitting coil 121, and increase the working stability of the transmitting coil 121.

[0137] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The annular body 1221 has a first annular groove 1221a, which is open on the side facing the clothing processing tube 10, and the transmitting coil 121 is housed in the first annular groove 1221a.

[0138] Specifically, the first annular groove 1221a is an annular space defined by the structure of the annular body 1221 itself. The side of the first annular groove 1221a facing the clothing processing drum 10 is open, which facilitates the relative arrangement of the transmitting coil 121 and the receiving coil 131, and realizes effective power transmission. The side of the first annular groove 1221a facing the rear plate 111 can be closed to provide support for the transmitting coil 121 and reduce the probability of the transmitting coil 121 detaching from the first annular groove 1221a.

[0139] The connecting ear 1222 can be detachably connected to the rear plate 111. For example, the connecting ear 1222 can be connected to the rear plate 111 by screws, which is not limited here.

[0140] The specific structure of the second support 132 is not limited.

[0141] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,as well as Figures 4 to 6 The second bracket 132 includes an annular portion 1321 and a connecting portion 1322. The connecting portion 1322 is connected to the annular portion 1321. The receiving coil 131 is disposed on the annular portion 1321. The connecting portion 1322 is connected to the rear cover 102.

[0142] In this embodiment, the annular portion 1321 provides installation space for the receiving coil 131, and the connecting portion 1322 is connected to the rear cover 102. The annular portion 1321 and the connecting portion 1322 stabilize the installation position of the receiving coil 131 in the clothing processing equipment 1, reduce the probability of damage to the receiving coil 131, and increase the working stability of the receiving coil 131.

[0143] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The second bracket 132 includes an extension structure 1323, which is connected to the annular portion 1321. The receiving circuit board 133 is disposed on the extension structure 1323. The extension structure 1323 provides mounting space for the receiving circuit board 133.

[0144] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,as well as Figures 4 to 6 The annular portion 1321 has a second annular groove 1321a, which is open on the side facing the rear plate 111, and the receiving coil 131 is housed in the second annular groove 1321a.

[0145] Specifically, the second annular groove 1321a is an annular space defined by the structure of the annular portion 1321 itself. The side of the second annular groove 1321a facing the rear plate 111 is open, which facilitates the relative arrangement of the receiving coil 131 and the transmitting coil 121, thereby achieving effective power transmission. The side of the second annular groove 1321a facing the rear cover 102 can be closed to provide support for the receiving coil 131 and reduce the probability of the receiving coil 131 detaching from the second annular groove 1321a.

[0146] The connecting part 1322 can be detachably connected to the rear cover 102. For example, the connecting part 1322 can be connected to the rear cover 102 by screws, which is not limited here.

[0147] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The garment processing device 1 includes a rear cover 17, which covers the rear surface of the rear plate 111 and together with the rear plate 111 defines an air supply channel. The rear plate 111 has an air outlet, and the rear cover 102 has an air inlet. The airflow in the air supply channel flows to the garment processing chamber 10a through the air outlet and the air inlet.

[0148] Exemplarily, the garment processing drum 10 also has an air outlet, and the garment processing chamber 10a connects the air inlet and the air outlet. Dry hot air enters the garment processing chamber 10a from the air inlet, and humid hot air leaves the garment processing chamber 10a from the air outlet. The rear plate 111 has a return air inlet, the height of which is lower than the height of the air supply inlet. The rear cover 17 covers the area around the air supply inlet and the return air inlet, and together with the rear plate 111, defines an air supply channel. The air supply channel connects the return air inlet and the air supply inlet, and the dry hot air enters the garment processing chamber 10a through the return air inlet, the air supply channel, and the air supply inlet to dry the clothes.

[0149] For example, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10The garment processing equipment 1 may also include a base 16, which has a drying tunnel, an air supply channel and a drying tunnel together to form a circulating air duct. The drying tunnel is located upstream of the air supply channel along the airflow direction in the circulating air duct. The drying tunnel is connected to the air outlet. The airflow after heat and moisture exchange with the garment can enter the drying tunnel through the air outlet, complete condensation dehumidification and heating in the drying tunnel, and form a new dry hot airflow. The new dry hot airflow then enters the garment processing chamber 10a through the return air port, the air supply channel and the air supply port.

[0150] There is no limit to the number of air outlets; there can be one or more air outlets, for example, two, three, four, or five air outlets.

[0151] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 1 further includes a heat exchange component located within the drying tunnel. The heat exchange component is used to exchange heat with the airflow within the drying tunnel, thereby dehumidifying and heating. The humid and hot airflow within the garment processing cylinder 10 can enter the drying tunnel through the air outlet and exchange heat with the heat exchange component, transforming into dry and hot airflow. The dry and hot airflow enters the air supply channel through the return air inlet and then flows back into the garment processing chamber 10a through the air supply outlet and air inlet.

[0152] In some embodiments, the heat exchange assembly includes a condenser and an evaporator. The clothing processing device 1 also includes a compressor and a throttling device. The compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator are connected by pipes to form a heat pump system, and the refrigerant can circulate within the heat pump system. The airflow in the circulating duct exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator and condenser to form a dry hot airflow. The evaporator is used to cool and dehumidify the humid hot airflow from the clothing processing chamber 10a into a dry cold airflow; the condenser heats the dry cold airflow into a dry hot airflow and returns it to the clothing processing chamber 10a.

[0153] The working principle of a heat pump system is as follows: The compressor draws in low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and compresses it into high-pressure gaseous state before discharging it. The discharged high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, where it transfers heat to the airflow, causing it to condense into a high-pressure liquid. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant is then throttled and depressurized by a throttling device, becoming a low-pressure, low-temperature gas-liquid two-phase mixture that enters the evaporator. The refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the airflow, becoming a low-pressure gaseous state, which is then drawn back into the compressor. This cycle repeats, achieving heat exchange. In other words, the evaporator cools and dehumidifies the humid airflow from the clothing processing chamber 10a, forming a dry, cool airflow. The condenser heats the dry, cool airflow into a dry, hot airflow, which then flows back into the clothing processing chamber 10a. The dry, hot airflow returning to the clothing processing chamber 10a comes into contact with the damp clothing, forming a humid, hot airflow again, completing one drying cycle. By repeatedly running the drying cycle, circulating airflow is continuously supplied to the clothing processing chamber 10a to dry the clothes.

[0154] For example, both the evaporator and the condenser can be finned tube heat exchangers.

[0155] For example, throttling devices include, but are not limited to, electronic expansion valves.

[0156] In some examples, the garment handling apparatus 1 also includes an impeller for driving airflow. Exemplarily, the impeller is located within the drying duct and between the heat exchange components and the return air vent. During the drying process, the impeller drives the airflow passing through the garments sequentially through the evaporator and condenser before being blown back onto the garments to create a circulating airflow. The impeller can accelerate airflow and improve drying efficiency.
