Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more particularly to a garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Garment processing equipment contains internal pipelines, and in some related technologies, pipeline supports are used to support these pipelines. When the pipeline supports are installed across the frame, their ends are connected to the outer frame of the equipment. The weight of the pipelines themselves exerts a downward force on the supports, making them prone to deformation due to insufficient support, thus affecting the fixation effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in the related technologies, this disclosure provides a garment processing device.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a garment processing apparatus is provided, comprising: A drying air box is disposed between the garment processing drum and the rear panel to connect the drying air duct with the external environment; A pipeline support is provided above the drying air box along the front-back direction of the clothing processing equipment. Both ends of the pipeline support are connected to the outer frame of the clothing processing equipment to fix the pipeline. The drying air box is provided with a support part, which supports the lower surface of the pipeline bracket.

[0005] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure can include the following beneficial effects: The clothing processing equipment provided by this disclosure includes a drying air box and a pipeline support. The drying air box connects the drying air duct to the external environment and integrates an air duct inside for introducing fresh air for drying into the clothing processing drum and / or for discharging the hot and humid gas inside the clothing processing drum to the external environment. The pipeline support is used to fix the pipeline. The drying air box is provided with a support portion that supports the lower surface of the pipeline support. Using the support portion to support the lower surface of the pipeline support helps improve the reliability of the pipeline support for fixed installation. Furthermore, while ensuring the drying function, the drying air box can be reused as a support carrier for the pipeline support using its own structure. This eliminates the need for additional support components for the pipeline support, reducing the number of parts, simplifying the internal structure of the equipment, and avoiding the space occupied by additional support components, making the internal structure of the equipment more compact.

[0006] In some possible implementations, the support includes a screw post, and the pipeline bracket has mounting holes corresponding to the screw post for bolts to pass through. The screw post design of the support allows it to effectively support the lower surface of the pipeline bracket while achieving a rigid connection between the bolt and the screw post through the threaded engagement.

[0007] In some possible implementations, the garment handling device further includes a plurality of first reinforcing ribs disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the screw post, the plurality of first reinforcing ribs being spaced apart circumferentially along the screw post. The first reinforcing ribs can disperse the stress on the screw post when bearing the weight of the pipeline support and equipment vibration, thereby enhancing the screw post's resistance to bending and deformation.

[0008] In some possible implementations, a second reinforcing rib extends from the upper surface of the drying air box, and the first and second reinforcing ribs are continuously arranged along the extending direction and form an integral structure. The second reinforcing rib, through its connection with the upper surface of the drying air box, further diffuses stress throughout the entire drying air box.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the garment processing device includes a first cylinder, a second cylinder disposed above the left side of the first cylinder, and a third cylinder disposed above the right side of the first cylinder. A drying air box is disposed in the front-rear direction between the second and third cylinders and the rear panel of the garment processing device. A pipeline support is disposed in the left-right direction between the second and third cylinders. The front-rear orientation of the drying air box between the second and third cylinders and the rear panel of the garment processing device allows the drying air box to provide air ducts for drying the second and / or third cylinders, enabling independent control and supply of drying airflow to the second and third cylinders. The pipeline support utilizes the space between the two cylinders to fix the pipelines, thus avoiding obstruction of the cylinder structure and optimizing the internal space layout of the device.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the pipeline includes a first water inlet pipe communicating with the second cylinder and a second water inlet pipe communicating with the third cylinder. The drying air box is provided with a clearance groove to allow passage for the first and second water inlet pipes. The clearance groove provides a passage for the first and second water inlet pipes, preventing them from contacting and being squeezed by the drying air box, ensuring the stable operation of the water supply system for the second and third cylinders, and ensuring that the air passage function of the drying air box is not affected.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the pipeline includes a first inlet pipe communicating with the second cylinder and a second inlet pipe communicating with the third cylinder; The pipeline support includes a first cable tray and a second cable tray for arranging the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe. The first cable tray and the second cable tray are spaced apart, and the mounting hole is disposed between the first cable tray and the second cable tray.

[0012] By setting up the first and second cable trays, the first and second water inlet pipes are made to run independently during the cable routing process, avoiding entanglement or interference caused by loosening or friction between different pipelines. Even if the equipment vibrates, the pipelines can remain relatively fixed, reducing problems such as loosening and wear caused by vibration.

[0013] In some possible implementations, a plurality of third reinforcing ribs are provided between the first and second cable trays. These third reinforcing ribs connect the first and second cable trays on both sides, and are spaced apart along the extension direction of the pipeline support. Mounting holes are located between two of the third reinforcing ribs. The multiple third reinforcing ribs, spaced apart along the extension direction of the pipeline support and connecting the cable trays on both sides, help resist the torsional and deformation forces generated by the weight of the pipeline and equipment vibration on the support, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the pipeline support.

[0014] In some possible implementations, the pipeline also includes electrical wiring, and the pipeline support further includes a third wiring channel for arranging the electrical circuitry, the third wiring channel being disposed between the first wiring channel and the second wiring channel. By providing the third wiring channel, the electrical wiring is isolated from the two inlet pipes, avoiding entanglement or interference problems caused by loosening or friction between different pipelines, and reducing loosening and wear caused by vibration.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the drying air box includes two sub-boxes corresponding to the second cylinder and the third cylinder, respectively, wherein the two sub-boxes are symmetrically arranged relative to the support. This symmetrical arrangement makes the forces acting on both sides of the support more even, helps to reduce local stress concentration, and ensures the stability of the connection between the drying air box and the pipeline support.

[0016] In some possible implementations, the sub-box contains an air intake channel and an exhaust channel. The sub-box includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed opposite to each other. The first sidewall extends in a straight line, and the second sidewall is inclined relative to the first sidewall. The sub-box also contains a first partition and a second partition. The first partition is parallel to the first sidewall and forms one of the air intake channel and the exhaust channel with the first sidewall. The second partition is parallel to the second sidewall and forms the other of the air intake channel and the exhaust channel with the second sidewall. Constructing the drying air box with two sub-boxes allows the second and third cylinders to each correspond to one of the sub-boxes. This helps avoid interference between the drying airflow from different cylinders within the drying air box, ensuring the independence of the drying airflow supply to each cylinder. Furthermore, the parallel relationship between the sidewalls and the partitions defines the air passages without requiring complex structural design. Simultaneously, the partitions are integrally constructed within the drying air box, which helps ensure structural stability. Even under the impact of airflow during operation, it prevents air passage deformation or airflow leakage due to structural loosening, ensuring the reliability of the air intake / exhaust function. In some possible implementations, a mounting beam is provided on the front side of the garment processing equipment. The extension direction of the mounting beam is perpendicular to the extension direction of the pipeline support, and the end of the pipeline support away from the support portion is connected to the mounting beam. Utilizing the high structural strength of the mounting beam itself, the connection strength of the pipeline support to the outer frame is enhanced, improving the structural strength of the pipeline support and further increasing the reliability of the pipeline support in fixing the pipeline.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this disclosure provides an exemplary embodiment of a garment processing device. The garment processing device includes, but is not limited to, a single-drum dryer, a single-drum washer-dryer combo, a twin-drum dryer, a twin-drum washer-dryer combo, a triple-drum dryer, and a triple-drum washer-dryer combo.

[0028] The garment processing equipment disclosed herein includes a drying air box 1 and a pipeline support 2. The drying air box 1 is disposed between the garment processing cylinder and the rear panel, and is used to connect the drying air duct 8 to the external environment. The pipeline support 2 is spanned above the drying air box 1 along the front-to-back direction of the garment processing equipment. Both ends of the pipeline support 2 are connected to the outer frame 10 of the garment processing equipment to fix the pipeline. The drying air box 1 is provided with a support part 121, which supports the lower surface of the pipeline support 2. It should be noted that in the description of this disclosure, up, down, front, back, left, and right are defined in the normal operating state of the equipment, that is, in the normal operating state, the side facing the user is the front side.

[0029] The drying air box 1 connects to the drying air duct 8 and the external environment. It integrates an air duct inside for introducing fresh air for drying into the clothes processing drum and / or for expelling hot, humid air from the drum to the external environment. The pipeline support 2 is used to fix the pipeline. The drying air box 1 is equipped with a support part 121, which supports the lower surface of the pipeline support 2. This support improves the reliability of the pipeline fixation. Furthermore, while ensuring the drying function, the drying air box 1 can be reused as a support carrier for the pipeline support 2, eliminating the need for additional support components. This reduces the number of parts, simplifies the internal structure, and avoids the space occupied by additional support components, resulting in a more compact internal structure.

[0030] The drying duct 8 typically includes a fan section and a heating section. Under the action of the fan in the fan section, ambient air enters the drying duct through the air inlet channel. After being heated by the heating wires in the heating section, the resulting dry, hot gas enters the garment processing drum. Upon contact with the garments to be dried, it becomes humid, hot gas, which is then discharged to the external environment through the exhaust channel. In other words, the garment processing equipment of this disclosure uses an external circulation method for drying, unlike the internal circulation method where humid, hot gas is condensed into dry gas by a condenser and then re-enters the drying process. Because external circulation introduces fresh air from outside, it helps improve drying efficiency. It should be noted that the external environment refers to the exterior of the equipment housing, distinct from the internal environment of the equipment housing.

[0031] The drying air box 1 integrates multiple air passages, including an air inlet passage 111 and / or an air outlet passage 112. That is, the drying air box 1 can have multiple air inlet passages 111, or multiple air outlet passages 112, or multiple air inlet passages 111 and air outlet passages 112 simultaneously. Integrating the air inlet passages 111 and / or air outlet passages 112 within the drying air box 1 eliminates the need for separate air inlet and air outlet passages 111 and 112 within the equipment, simplifying the internal airflow structure. Furthermore, integrating the air inlet and air outlet passages 111 and 112 onto the drying air box 1 avoids the need for separate positioning and installation of multiple independent pipes. Instead, the air inlet and air outlet passages can be laid out through the installation of this single component, simplifying the assembly process and reducing production and maintenance costs.

[0032] The drying air box 1 disclosed herein can be used in both single-drum and multi-drum devices. Taking a device comprising three garment processing drums as an example, it includes a first drum body and a second drum body 6 located on the upper left side and a third drum body 7 located on the upper right side of the first drum body. Multiple air ducts are connected to the second drum body 6 and the third drum body 7 to facilitate air intake and / or exhaust from at least one of the second drum body 6 and the third drum body 7. Integrating the air intake / exhaust of the second drum body 6 and the third drum body 7 into the drying air box avoids the need for separate, dispersed piping for the two drum bodies within the complex design space of a three-drum device, further optimizing the internal airflow of the three-drum device and improving the space utilization rate of the equipment.

[0033] For example, the multiple air passages may include two air intake passages 111, which are respectively connected to the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7; or the multiple air passages may include two exhaust passages 112, which are respectively connected to the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7; or the multiple air passages may include at least one set of air intake passages 111 and exhaust passages 112, wherein the air intake passages 111 and exhaust passages 112 are connected to one of the second cylinder 6 or the third cylinder 7; or the air intake passage 111 is connected to one of the second cylinder 6 or the third cylinder 7, and the exhaust passage 112 is connected to the other of the second cylinder 6 or the third cylinder 7.

[0034] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support part 121 includes a screw post, which may have internal threads, for example. The pipeline bracket 2 has a mounting hole 21 for the bolt to pass through, corresponding to the position of the screw post. The support part 121 adopts a screw post structure design, which enables the support part 121 to effectively support the lower surface of the pipeline bracket 2 while achieving a rigid connection between the two through the threaded engagement of the bolt and the screw post. The threaded connection combines the pipeline bracket 2 and the drying air box 1 into a whole, improving the structural strength of the connection between the two, helping to resist the vibration and impact during equipment operation, preventing the support part from loosening or displacement, and further ensuring the reliability of pipeline fixation.

[0035] Optionally, the garment handling equipment also includes a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 1211 disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the screw post, the plurality of first reinforcing ribs 1211 being spaced apart circumferentially along the screw post. The arrangement of a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 1211 spaced apart circumferentially on the outer peripheral wall of the screw post further strengthens the structural performance of the support portion 121. The first reinforcing ribs 1211 can disperse the stress on the screw post when bearing the weight of the pipeline support 2 and equipment vibration, thereby enhancing the screw post's resistance to bending and deformation.

[0036] Furthermore, a second reinforcing rib 122 extends from the upper surface of the drying air box 1. The first reinforcing rib 1211 and the second reinforcing rib 122 are continuously arranged along the extending direction and form an integral structure. When the screw post bears the weight of the pipeline support 2 and the stress generated by equipment vibration, the first reinforcing rib 1211 first transfers part of the stress to the second reinforcing rib 122, and the second reinforcing rib 122, through its connection with the upper surface of the drying air box 1, further diffuses the stress to the entire drying air box 1. Because the drying air box 1 itself has stronger structural strength, it can better bear these stresses and avoid stress concentration at the connection between the screw post and the drying air box 1, which could lead to localized damage.

[0037] As consumers' demands for personalized clothing care increase, clothing processing equipment capable of zoned washing and care is gaining attention. Taking a clothing processing device with three washing drums as an example, it includes a first drum, a second drum 6 located on the upper left side of the first drum, and a third drum 7 located on the upper right side of the first drum. The first drum typically has a larger diameter and greater depth than the second and third drums 6 and 7. For different usage scenarios, the first drum is mostly used for washing everyday clothes, while the second and third drums 6 and 7 can be used to process underwear and baby clothes, meeting the needs of zoned processing for different types of clothing.

[0038] The drying air box 1 is positioned in the front-to-back direction between the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7 and the rear panel of the garment processing equipment, while the pipeline support 2 is positioned in the left-to-right direction between the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7. The front-to-back positioning of the drying air box 1 between the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7 and the rear panel of the garment processing equipment allows it to provide air ducts for drying the second cylinder 6 and / or the third cylinder 7, enabling independent control and supply of drying airflow to both cylinders. The pipeline support 2 utilizes the space between the two cylinders to fix the pipelines, thus avoiding obstruction of the cylinder structure and optimizing the internal space layout of the equipment.

[0039] In some embodiments, the pipeline includes a first water inlet pipe 3 communicating with the second drum 6 and a second water inlet pipe 4 communicating with the third drum 7. The drying air box 1 is provided with a clearance groove 123 for avoiding the first water inlet pipe 3 and the second water inlet pipe 4. In a device including three washing drums, the water inlets of the second drum 6 and the third drum 7 are usually located on the front side of the drum, while the water valves supplying water to them are located on the rear side of the device housing. The first water inlet pipe 3 communicating with the second drum 6 and the second water inlet pipe 4 communicating with the third drum 7 need to be led out from the rear side of the housing to the front side and connected to the water inlet. When the water inlet pipes pass through the area between the drum and the rear panel, they form a spatial intersection with the drying air box 1. The clearance groove 123 provided in the drying air box 1 provided in this disclosure can reserve a passage for the first water inlet pipe 3 and the second water inlet pipe 4 to pass through, avoiding contact and compression with the drying air box 1. This design helps to solve the interference problem between the water inlet pipe and the drying air box 1 in the multi-cylinder layout, ensures the stable operation of the water supply system of the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7, and ensures that the air passage function of the drying air box 1 is not affected.

[0040] In some embodiments, the pipeline includes a first water inlet pipe 3 communicating with the second cylinder 6 and a second water inlet pipe 4 communicating with the third cylinder 7. The pipeline support 2 includes a first cable tray 22 and a second cable tray 23 for arranging the first water inlet pipe 3 and the second water inlet pipe 4. The first cable tray 22 and the second cable tray 23 are spaced apart, and a mounting hole 21 is provided between the first cable tray 22 and the second cable tray 23. By setting the first cable tray 22 and the second cable tray 23, the first water inlet pipe 3 and the second water inlet pipe 4 are made independent of each other during the cable routing process, avoiding entanglement or interference problems caused by loosening or friction between different pipelines. Even if the equipment vibrates, the pipeline can remain relatively fixed, reducing problems such as loosening and wear caused by vibration.

[0041] The garment processing equipment also includes electrical control devices such as junction boxes, for example, for controlling the front panel. Therefore, there is a need to route the electrical wiring from the rear to the front of the equipment. In some embodiments, the conduit also includes electrical wiring, and the conduit bracket 2 also includes a third wiring trough 28 for arranging the electrical circuits. The third wiring trough 28 is disposed between the first wiring trough 22 and the second wiring trough 23. By providing the third wiring trough 28, the electrical wiring is isolated from the two water inlet pipes, avoiding entanglement or interference caused by loosening or friction between different pipes, and reducing loosening and wear caused by vibration.

[0042] Cable trays can be formed in various ways; in some implementations, such as Figure 4As shown, the garment processing equipment includes multiple partition bars 25 connected to the end face of the pipeline support 2. Each partition bar 25 extends along the length of the pipeline support 2, and adjacent partition bars 25 are spaced apart along the width of the pipeline support 2 to form a cable tray. The partition bars 25 divide the pipeline support 2 into multiple independent cable trays, allowing different pipelines to be placed in different cable trays, thus achieving orderly separation of the pipelines.

[0043] Inside the garment processing equipment, due to limited space and numerous components, the pipelines need to be rationally planned to avoid mutual interference. Therefore, the two outermost separators 25 have a first notch 251 and a second notch 252 respectively. The first notch 251 and the second notch 252 are used for the pipelines housed in the cable trays to pass through. The first notch 251 and the second notch 252 provide dedicated entry and exit channels for the pipelines housed in the cable trays. The pipelines can be smoothly led out or entered from the cable trays in a predetermined direction, making the wiring more orderly and avoiding the pipelines from being randomly bent or tangled at the ends of the pipeline brackets 2, thereby reducing the difficulty of the installation process. The first notch 251 and the second notch 252 can be formed at the ends of the separators 25 or in the middle of the separators 25, depending on the actual assembly scenario.

[0044] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the garment processing equipment also includes multiple locking blocks 26. One end of each locking block 26 is connected to a separator strip 25, and the other end of the locking block 26 is bent upwards towards the cable tray. After the cable is installed into the cable tray, the locking blocks 26 bent upwards towards the cable tray can abut against the outer surface of the cable, thereby binding and fixing the cable and preventing the cable located in the cable tray from moving or detaching from the cable tray due to vibration during the operation of the garment processing equipment.

[0045] Optionally, a plurality of third reinforcing ribs 24 are provided between the first cable tray 22 and the second cable tray 23. The third reinforcing ribs 24 connect the first cable tray 22 and the second cable tray 23 on both sides, and the plurality of third reinforcing ribs 24 are spaced apart in the extending direction of the pipeline support 2. The mounting hole 21 is located between two third reinforcing ribs 24. The plurality of third reinforcing ribs 24 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the pipeline support 2 and connect the cable trays on both sides, which helps to resist the torsional and deformation forces generated by the weight of the pipeline and the vibration of the equipment on the support, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the pipeline support.

[0046] In some possible implementations, the drying air duct 8 includes a first drying air duct disposed in the second cylinder 6 and a second drying air duct disposed in the third cylinder 7. The drying air box 1 includes two sub-boxes 110 corresponding to the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7, respectively, and the two sub-boxes 110 are respectively connected to the first drying air duct and the second drying air duct. The two sub-boxes 110 are symmetrically arranged relative to the support portion 121. This symmetrical arrangement makes the forces acting on both sides of the support portion 121 more even, helps to reduce local stress concentration, and ensures the stability of the connection between the drying air box 1 and the pipeline support 2.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sub-box 110 includes a first sidewall 113 and a second sidewall 114 disposed opposite to each other. The first sidewall 113 extends in a straight line, and the second sidewall 114 is disposed at an inclination relative to the first sidewall 113. The sub-box 110 is provided with a first partition 115 and a second partition 116. The first partition 115 is parallel to the first sidewall 113 and forms one of an air intake channel 111 and an exhaust channel 112 with the first sidewall 113. The second partition 116 is parallel to the second sidewall 114 and forms the other of an air intake channel 111 and an exhaust channel 112 with the second sidewall 114.

[0048] The drying air box 1 is constructed with two sub-boxes 110, allowing the second cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 7 to each correspond to one of the sub-boxes 110. This helps prevent interference between the drying airflows of different cylinders within the drying air box 1, ensuring the independence of the drying airflow supply to each cylinder. Furthermore, the air passage is defined by the parallel relationship between the sidewalls and the partition, eliminating the need for complex structural design. Simultaneously, the partition is integrally constructed within the drying air box 1, contributing to structural stability. Even under the impact of airflow during operation, it prevents air passage deformation or airflow leakage due to structural loosening, ensuring the reliability of the intake / exhaust function.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing equipment provided in this disclosure may further include a mounting beam 5 disposed on the front side of the garment processing equipment. The extension direction of the mounting beam 5 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the pipeline support 2, and the end of the pipeline support 2 away from the one where the support part 121 is disposed is connected to the mounting beam 5. By utilizing the high structural strength of the mounting beam 5 itself, the connection strength of the pipeline support 2 on the outer frame 10 is enhanced, the structural strength of the pipeline support 2 is improved, and the reliability of the pipeline support 2 in fixing the pipeline is further improved.

[0050] For example, one end of the pipeline support 2 has a flange 27, which overlaps the upper surface of the front mounting beam 5 of the outer frame 10. The flange 27 design increases the contact area between the pipeline support 2 and the outer frame 10. A larger contact area can more evenly distribute these forces, reduce local stress concentration, and improve the stability of the entire equipment structure. In addition, the garment processing equipment generates torsional forces during operation, especially under high-speed rotation conditions such as dehydration. The flange 27 overlapping the upper surface of the mounting beam 5 can effectively resist this torsional force, making it less likely for the pipeline support 2 to rotate or deform under torsional force, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the pipeline support 2 and the outer frame 10, and further enhancing the overall stability of the equipment.

[0051] The second end of the pipeline support 2, corresponding to the rear side of the equipment, can be formed as a flange 27 structure, or it can be suspended below the rear transverse beam by fasteners. Here, the rear transverse beam is the beam that is set at the front and rear ends of the outer frame 10 relative to the mounting beam 5. The stability of the connection to the outer frame 10 by suspension is slightly weaker than that of the connection by flange 27, but the support part 121 set in the drying air box 1 can make up for the lack of support strength.

[0052] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein.
