[0028] The garment processing apparatus of this application will be described in detail below through the following embodiments.

[0029] Example 1: like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a clothing processing device, which mainly includes a main frame 1, a panel 11, a roller 2, a heat pump module 3, a heating furnace module 4, a water storage box 5, a dispensing box assembly 6, a filter assembly 7, and a flip-top assembly 8. The whole device adopts an embedded design and can be embedded in a home cabinet or reserved space in the wall, saving floor space.

[0030] The main frame 1 serves as a support structure, with a panel 11 installed on its front side. A drum 2 is fixedly installed in the center of the drum 2 for washing, drying, and steaming clothes. The inner wall of the drum 2 has lifting ribs that can rotate the clothes to ensure even processing. The bottom of the main frame 1 has an installation chamber, which is divided into a first installation chamber (located on the left) and a second installation chamber (located on the right) along the left-right direction. A heat pump module 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the main frame 1 for dehumidifying and drying clothes in the drum 2. Near the heat pump module 3 on the top of the main frame 1, there is a heating furnace module 4 for generating steam and a water storage box 5 for storing the water required by the heating furnace module 4. The water storage box 5 is connected to the water inlet of the heating furnace module 4 through a pipe to provide a stable water source for steam generation.

[0031] For heat pump module 3, when the equipment enters the drying mode, heat pump module 3 starts. The hot and humid airflow in drum 2 first enters the evaporator. The refrigerant in the evaporator evaporates and absorbs heat, causing the water vapor in the hot and humid airflow to condense into water. The condensate is discharged from the equipment through the pipe, thus dehumidifying the airflow. The dehumidified airflow then enters the condenser. The refrigerant in the condenser condenses and releases heat, heating the dry and cold airflow to form a hot and dry airflow. Finally, the hot and dry airflow is sent back into drum 2 through the air duct to exchange heat with the clothes, absorb the moisture from the clothes, and then enters the evaporator again to complete one drying cycle.

[0032] For different fabrics (such as cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers), users can select the corresponding drying mode through the display screen on the control panel 11. The equipment will automatically adjust the operating parameters of the heat pump module 3 to achieve different drying modes.

[0033] The heating furnace module 4 is fixed to the bottom of the heat pump module 3 by a fixing plate. It has a heating tube (power of 800-1200W) inside. The water storage box 5 is fixed to the front side of the heat pump module 3. The water outlet of the water storage box 5 is connected to the water inlet of the heating furnace module 4 through a pipe, and the water inlet of the water storage box 5 is connected to the water outlet of the filter element assembly 7 through a pipe. When the device enters the steam care mode, the soft water filtered through the filter element 7 first flows into the water storage box 5. After the water level sensor in the water storage box 5 detects that the water level has reached the preset value, the water supply stops. Then, the heating furnace module 4 starts, and the heating tube is powered on to heat the incoming soft water to generate low-temperature saturated steam. The steam is then transported to the inside of the roller 2 through a dedicated pipe and is evenly sprayed out from the steam nozzles on the wall of the roller 2, penetrating into the clothing fibers. The heat of the steam can soften the fibers, and together with the slow rotation of the roller 2, it can remove wrinkles from the clothes. At the same time, the steam can remove odor molecules from the fibers, achieving an odor removal effect. After the care is completed, the heating furnace module 4 stops heating, and the residual steam is discharged through the air duct of the heat pump module 3 to prevent water accumulation inside the roller 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, to optimize the deep dehumidification of the clothes inside the drum 2 and improve the dehumidification efficiency, a rotary dehumidification assembly is also provided. The high-temperature and high-humidity airflow inside the drum 2 undergoes primary dehumidification after passing through the evaporator, and then passes through the rotary dehumidification assembly. The moisture-absorbing material (such as silica gel or molecular sieve) of the rotary dehumidification assembly further adsorbs the residual moisture in the airflow for secondary dehumidification. The airflow after secondary dehumidification then enters the condenser and is heated. This method effectively improves the drying efficiency of the heat pump module 3 through secondary dehumidification.

[0035] Example 2: This embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiment 1.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a panel 11 is installed on the front side of the main frame 1, and a flip cover assembly 8 is disposed at the port of the mounting chamber at the bottom of the main frame 1. The panel 11 and the flip cover assembly 8 are arranged vertically.

[0037] The flip assembly 8 includes a cover plate 81 and a flip cover 82; The cover plate 81 is a rectangular plate structure, and its left and right ends are fixed to the left and right side walls of the main frame 1 by screws. The cover plate 81 has a first port 811 (left side, corresponding to the first mounting cavity) and a second port 812 (right side, corresponding to the second mounting cavity). The flip cover 82 is a rectangular plate that fits the cover plate 81. Its lower end is hinged to the bottom edge of the cover plate 81. The flip cover 82 can be flipped upward around the hinge point to open the installation chamber. When it is flipped downward to fit against the cover plate 81, the installation chamber is closed.

[0038] In addition, a locking structure is provided between the flip cover 82 and the cover plate 81. The locking structure includes: an elephant trunk lock 813 (elastic locking tongue structure) fixed in the upper middle position of the cover plate 81, and a locking hook 821 fixed in the corresponding position of the flip cover 82. When the flip cover 82 is closed, the locking tongue of the elephant trunk lock 813 is engaged in the locking hook 821 under the action of elasticity, so as to lock the flip cover 82 and the cover plate 81 and prevent the flip cover 82 from loosening when the equipment is running. When the user needs to open it, he only needs to press the unlock button of the elephant trunk lock 813, the locking tongue disengages from the locking hook 821, and the flip cover 82 can be flipped up.

[0039] In this embodiment, it should be noted that connecting the cover plate 81 directly to both sides of the main frame 1 is not only more convenient and stable than the traditional method of installing the cover plate on the panel, but also improves stability as the support point is the more rigid main frame. Furthermore, it reduces the difficulty of panel processing (there is no need to open an installation groove on the panel to fit the cover plate) and enhances the aesthetics of the entire garment processing device.

[0040] Example 3: This embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiment 2.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the dispensing box assembly 6 is disposed in the first mounting cavity, including a dispensing box 61 and a storage box 62: the dispensing box 61 is a hollow box with a first opening at one end near the cover plate 81. The dispensing box 61 is fixed to the first port 811 of the cover plate 81 by screws, and the first opening is aligned with the first port 811; the storage box 62 is used to store laundry treatment liquid. The storage box 62 can be made of transparent plastic material to facilitate observation of the remaining liquid volume. It is embedded in the dispensing box 61 through the first opening. The top of the storage box 62 is provided with a handle 621 to facilitate removal of the storage box 62 from the dispensing box 61. The interior of the storage box 62 is divided into four independent storage chambers along the front-to-back direction (used to store laundry detergent, fabric softener, disinfectant, and fragrance liquid, respectively). Each storage chamber has a filling port at its upper end, and a first sealing cap 622 is threaded onto the filling port to prevent liquid evaporation or leakage.

[0042] When the user needs to add laundry detergent, open the flip cover 82, grasp the handle 621 of the liquid storage box 62 to pull it out of the dispensing box 61, open the first sealing cover 622 of the corresponding liquid storage chamber, inject the required detergent, close the sealing cover tightly, and then put the liquid storage box 62 back into the dispensing box 61. When the device enters the washing mode, the solenoid valve (not shown in the figure) in the dispensing box 61 opens the outlet of the corresponding liquid storage chamber in sequence according to the preset program, and delivers the laundry detergent, fabric softener (added in the later stage of washing), and disinfectant (added in the early stage of washing) to the drum 2 through the pipe to achieve automatic dispensing. The transparent material of the liquid storage box 62 allows the user to observe the remaining liquid level in real time, avoiding the washing effect being affected by insufficient liquid.

[0043] Example 3: This embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiment 2.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the filter element assembly 7 is disposed in the second mounting cavity, including a filter element box 71, a filter element (not shown in the figure), and a second sealing cover 72. The filter element box 71 is a hollow box with a second opening at one end near the cover plate 81. The filter element box 71 is fixed to the second port 812 of the cover plate 81 by screws, and the second opening is aligned with the second port 812. The filter element is a columnar structure and is embedded in the filter element box 71 through the second opening. The second sealing cover 72 is connected to the second opening of the filter element box 71 by a snap fastener to achieve a seal on the filter element box 71, or a seal can be achieved by a threaded connection.

[0045] When the equipment needs water replenishment (such as when the water level in the water storage box 5 is lower than the preset value, or before the user starts steam treatment), external tap water enters the inlet of the filter cartridge box 71 through the inlet pipe. The water flows into the filter cartridge and is filtered. The filtered soft water flows out from the inside of the filter cartridge and is transported to the water storage box 5 through the outlet of the filter cartridge box 71 and the pipe to complete the water replenishment. After the filter cartridge has been used for a period of time, the user can open the flip cover 82, open the second sealing cover 72, take out the old filter cartridge from the filter cartridge box 71, replace it with a new filter cartridge, and then close the sealing cover again.

[0046] The various embodiments of this disclosure have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
