[0042] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a clothing processing device according to some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The front view.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the garment processing device provided in this embodiment of the present invention may include a housing 1. The housing 1 may be constructed as the outer shell of the garment processing device. The housing 1 may typically have a hollow cuboid structure. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the external shape of the housing 1 may be designed as needed, and is not limited here. The interior of the housing 1 may be used to provide installation space.

[0044] In some embodiments, a clothing inlet 10 may be provided on the front side wall of the housing 1. The clothing inlet 10 can communicate with the internal space of the housing 1. Clothes can be placed into the housing 1 through the clothing inlet 10 for washing.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a door cover (not shown) may be provided on the front side wall of the housing 1. The door cover can be used to open and close the clothing inlet 10 on the front side wall of the housing 1, thereby opening and closing the space inside the housing 1 through the door cover.

[0046] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Internal structural diagram. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The front view.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the garment processing device may include a drum assembly 2. The drum assembly 2 may be disposed inside the housing 1. The drum assembly 2 may extend along the front-rear direction of the housing 1. A garment processing chamber 20 may be formed inside the drum assembly 2. A drum opening may be formed on the front end face of the drum assembly 2. The drum opening communicates with the interior of the garment processing chamber 20. The drum opening is directly opposite the garment inlet 10 and the door cover of the housing 1. After the door cover is opened, the garments can be sequentially placed into the garment processing chamber 20 inside the drum assembly 2 through the garment inlet 10 on the front side of the housing 1 and the drum opening at the front end of the drum assembly 2 for washing, dehydration, and other operations. When the housing 1 is closed, the housing 1 can simultaneously close the garment inlet 10 and the garment processing chamber 20.

[0048] In some embodiments, the tub assembly 2 may include an outer tub 21. The outer tub 21 may be disposed inside the housing 1. The outer tub 21 may be configured as a tub for containing washing water. The internal space of the outer tub 21 can be used to hold washing liquids, such as water, detergent, fabric softener, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments, the tubular assembly 2 may include an inner tubing 22. The inner tubing 22 may be disposed inside the outer tubing 21. A clothes handling chamber 20 may be formed inside the inner tubing 22. The clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tubing 22 is used to hold clothes to be washed. A water passage hole (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the peripheral wall of the inner tubing 22. The clothes handling chamber 20 can connect the space between the inner tubing 22 and the outer tubing 21 through the water passage hole. The washing liquid in the outer tubing 21 can enter the clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tubing 22 through the water passage hole, that is, the washing liquid in the space between the inner tubing 22 and the outer tubing 21 can enter the clothes handling chamber 20 within the inner tubing 22 through the water passage hole.

[0050] In some embodiments, the inner drum 22 may be rotatably disposed inside the outer drum 21. When the inner drum 22 rotates relative to the outer drum 21, the inner drum 22 can drive the clothes to rotate relative to the outer drum 21, thereby realizing the washing function of the clothes in the clothes processing chamber 20 of the inner drum 22 and improving the uniformity of washing and dehydration of the clothes.

[0051] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the clothing processing chamber 20 can also be used to dry clothes, such as in a dryer or washer-dryer combo.

[0052] In some embodiments, the outer cylinder 21 and the inner cylinder 22 may also be arranged coaxially inside and outside. The front end of the outer cylinder 21 and the front end of the inner cylinder 22 may be provided with openings arranged opposite to each other. The front end opening of the outer cylinder 21 and the front end opening of the inner cylinder 22 can be combined to form the cylinder opening of the cylinder assembly 2.

[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, a drive device (not shown in the figure), such as a drive motor, may be provided inside the housing 1. The drive device may be located outside the outer drum 21, for example, the drive device may be located on the rear wall of the outer drum 21. The output end of the drive device is connected to the inner drum 22 for transmission. When the drive device can drive the inner drum 22 to rotate relative to the outer drum 21, the washing or dehydration function of the clothes processing chamber 20 in the inner drum 22 can be realized.

[0054] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the drum assembly 2 may include a door seal 23. The door seal 23 may be located at the front opening of the drum assembly 2. The door seal 23 may be an annular structure. The door seal 23 may be located between the clothes inlet 10 and the opening of the drum assembly 2. The door seal 23 can be used to seal the gap between the clothes inlet 10 of the housing 1 and the opening of the drum assembly 2. Thus, the door seal 23 can prevent washing water from entering the interior of the housing 1.

[0055] In some embodiments, the door seal 23 may be made of a resilient sealing material. The door seal 23 has an annular structure and is arranged around the periphery of the clothing inlet 10 and the periphery of the tube opening of the tube assembly 2. The peripheral edge of the front end of the door seal 23 is sealed to the peripheral edge of the clothing inlet 10 of the housing 1, and the peripheral edge of the rear end of the door seal 23 is sealed to the peripheral edge of the tube opening of the outer tube 21, thereby sealing the gap between the clothing inlet 10 of the housing 1 and the tube opening of the outer tube 21. Thus, when the door closes the clothing inlet 10 at the front of the housing 1, the door seal 23 can prevent water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from entering the housing 1, and the door can prevent water in the clothing processing chamber 20 from overflowing from the clothing inlet 10 of the housing 1.

[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the garment handling apparatus may include a drying duct assembly 3. The drying duct assembly 3 may be disposed within the housing 1. The drying duct assembly 3 may also be disposed outside the drum assembly 2. A drying duct (not shown) may be provided inside the drying duct assembly 3. The drying duct is configured to provide a drying airflow into the garment handling chamber 20, thereby drying the garments within the garment handling chamber 20 and achieving the garment drying function.

[0057] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, an air outlet 201 may be provided on the outer wall of the cylindrical assembly 2, and the air outlet 201 connects to the clothing processing chamber 20. The air outlet 201 is located at one end of the drying air duct assembly 3, so that one end of the drying air duct assembly 3 is connected to the air outlet 201, and thus connects to the interior of the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air outlet 201. In this way, the drying airflow in the drying air duct can enter the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air outlet 201 to dry the clothes in the clothing processing chamber 20.

[0058] In some embodiments, the air outlet 201 may be located at the door seal 23. The air outlet 201 may be connected to the opening of the inner tube 22, thereby allowing the air outlet 201 to be connected to the clothing processing chamber 20 inside the inner tube 22.

[0059] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the air outlet 201 may also be located at other positions on the outer wall of the cylinder assembly 2, such as other positions on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 21.

[0060] In some embodiments, a return air vent 202 may be provided on the outer wall of the outer cylinder assembly 2. The return air vent 202 may be located in the top region of the rear wall of the outer cylinder 21. The return air vent 202 can pass through the internal space of the outer cylinder 21, thereby connecting the return air vent 202 to the clothing processing chamber 20 inside the inner cylinder 22. The return air vent 202 is located at the other end of the drying air duct assembly 3, so that the other end of the drying air duct assembly 3 is connected to the return air vent 202, thereby connecting the inside of the clothing processing chamber 20 through the return air vent 202.

[0061] Thus, when the drying air duct supplies drying airflow into the garment handling chamber 20 through the air inlet 201, the air in the garment handling chamber 20 can enter the outer cylinder 21 and return to the drying air duct through the return air inlet 202, thereby achieving airflow circulation within the drying air duct and the garment handling chamber 20. This allows airflow to circulate within the drying air duct, air inlet 201, garment handling chamber 20, and return air inlet 202, achieving air circulation between the drying air duct and the garment handling chamber 20.

[0062] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the return air vent 202 may also be located at other positions on the outer wall of the cylinder assembly 2, such as other positions on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 21.

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the drying duct assembly 3 may include a fan 31. The fan 31 may be disposed within the drying duct. The fan 31 is configured to provide airflow for the circulation of drying air. The fan 31 may be disposed at one end of the drying duct near the air outlet 201. The suction side of the fan 31 may be oriented towards the return air outlet 202. The outlet side of the fan 31 may be oriented towards the air outlet 201. Thus, when the fan 31 is running, the suction side of the fan 31 can generate a negative pressure suction, thereby drawing air from inside the outer cylinder 21 and the clothing processing chamber 20 through the return air outlet 202. The drawn air enters the drying duct and is then delivered to the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air outlet 201.

[0064] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the fan 31 may also be located at other positions in the drying air duct.

[0065] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the drying duct assembly 3 may include an evaporator (not shown) and a condenser (not shown). The evaporator and condenser may be arranged adjacent to each other in the drying duct. The evaporator may be located on the side of the condenser near the return air inlet 202. The condenser may be located on the side of the evaporator near the air supply outlet 201. In this way, the humid and hot air in the clothing processing chamber 20 can sequentially enter the drying duct through the return air inlet 202, be condensed by the evaporator, heated by the condenser, and then return to the clothing processing chamber 20 through the air supply outlet 201 to dry the clothes in the clothing processing chamber 20.

[0066] In some embodiments, a compressor (not shown) may be housed within the casing 1. The compressor, condenser, and evaporator are connected sequentially via piping to form a heat pump system. The refrigerant circulates within the piping of this heat pump system. After being compressed by the compressor, the refrigerant enters the condenser, causing it to heat up and thus heating the surrounding air. The refrigerant then flows into the evaporator, allowing it to absorb heat and thus condense and cool the surrounding air.

[0067] Figure 5 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the middle door seal 23 and the extension component 4.

[0068] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the garment processing device may include an extension component 4 disposed within the garment processing chamber 20. One end of the extension component 4 is connected to an air outlet 201. The other end of the extension component 4 is disposed within the garment processing chamber 20 and communicates with the interior of the garment processing chamber 20. The air outlet 201 can precisely deliver air into the garment processing chamber 20 through the extension component 4. Thus, when drying footwear, the end of the extension component 4 furthest from the air outlet 201 can be directed towards or inserted into the shoe, thereby precisely delivering air into the shoe and achieving precise drying of the shoes within the garment processing chamber 20. Hot air will be continuously blown into the shoe through the extension component 4, improving the drying efficiency of footwear.

[0069] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A decomposed structure diagram. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of the middle extension component 4.

[0070] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the extension component 4 may include an extension tube 41 disposed within the garment processing chamber 20. One end of the extension tube 41 is connected to the air outlet 201, and the other end of the extension tube 41 is disposed within the garment processing chamber 20 and communicates with the interior of the garment processing chamber 20. The air outlet 201 can precisely deliver air through the extension tube 41 into the garment processing chamber 20.

[0071] In some embodiments, the extension assembly 4 may include a connecting pipe 42 disposed within the garment processing chamber 20. The connecting pipe 42 is made of a flexible material to facilitate bending and insertion into the shoe. One end of the connecting pipe 42 is connected to the end of the extension pipe 41 furthest from the air outlet, and the other end of the connecting pipe 42 is disposed within the garment processing chamber 20 and communicates with the interior of the garment processing chamber 20. The drying air duct assembly 3 can deliver hot air into the garment processing chamber 20 through the air outlet 201, the extension pipe 41, and the connecting pipe 42. When drying footwear, the shoes can be placed anywhere within the garment processing chamber 20. The connecting pipe 42 can extend, retract, or bend, allowing the end of the connecting pipe 42 away from the extension pipe 41 to smoothly extend into the shoe. This enables the drying air duct assembly 3 to precisely deliver air into the shoe through the air outlet 201, extension pipe 41, and connecting pipe 42, achieving precise drying of the shoes within the garment processing chamber 20. Hot air will be continuously blown into the shoe through the extension pipe 41 and connecting pipe 42, improving the drying efficiency for footwear.

[0072] In related technologies, when drying footwear, the shoes are typically placed directly into the garment processing chamber 20, preventing the drying air from being directly blown into the shoe's interior, resulting in low drying efficiency and a long drying time. This application, however, connects an extension pipe 41 to the air outlet 201, and a connecting pipe 42 extends into the shoe's interior, thereby enabling the drying air to be directly delivered into the shoe's interior. The hot drying air is continuously blown into the shoe's interior, thus improving the drying efficiency for footwear.

[0073] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the extension tube 41 is detachably connected to the air outlet 201, so that the extension assembly 4 is detachably connected to the air outlet 201, and thus the extension assembly 4 is detachably disposed in the garment processing chamber 20. In this way, when garment drying is not required, the extension tube 41 can be separated from the air outlet 201, allowing the extension assembly 4 to be removed from the garment processing chamber 20, so that garments can be placed in the garment processing chamber 20 for washing or drying without affecting the normal use of the garment processing device. The extension assembly 4 can be used as an auxiliary functional component, installed and used only when drying footwear products.

[0074] In some embodiments, one end of the extension tube 41 can be interference-fitted into the air outlet 201. By interfering with the fit, one end of the extension tube 41 can be fixed in the air outlet 201, thereby fixing one end of the extension tube 41 to the inner side of the seal, so as to maintain the structural stability of the extension tube 41 in the clothing processing chamber 20, and to maintain the stability of the connection between the extension tube 41 and the air outlet 201.

[0075] In some embodiments, a first snap-fit ​​portion (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the end of the extension tube 41 connected to the air outlet 201. For example, the first snap-fit ​​portion may be a snap-fit ​​rib or a snap-fit ​​groove. A second snap-fit ​​portion (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the inner wall of the door seal 23 corresponding to the air outlet 201. The second snap-fit ​​portion is arranged correspondingly to the first snap-fit ​​portion and can snap-fit ​​with each other. For example, the second snap-fit ​​portion may also be a snap-fit ​​rib or a snap-fit ​​groove. By aligning and snapping together the first snap-fit ​​portion on the outer wall of the extension tube 41 and the second snap-fit ​​portion on the inner wall of the air outlet 201, one end of the extension tube 41 can be snapped and fixed inside the air outlet 201.

[0076] Figure 8 yes Figure 7 A structural diagram from another perspective. Figure 9 yes Figure 7 A decomposed structure diagram.

[0077] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the extension pipe 41 furthest from the air outlet 201 may be provided with a connecting section 411, which communicates with the interior of the extension pipe 41 and may be tubular. One end of the connecting pipe 42 is fitted onto the connecting section 411, and the connecting pipe 42 communicates with the interior of the extension pipe 41 through the connecting section 411. The connecting section 411 facilitates the connection of one end of the connecting pipe 42 to the connecting section 411, thereby maintaining a stable connection between the connecting pipe 42 and the extension pipe 41.

[0078] In some embodiments, multiple connecting pipes 411 may be provided, and the multiple connecting pipes 411 may be arranged at intervals at the end of the extension pipe 41 away from the air outlet 201. Multiple connecting pipes 42 may be provided, and the multiple connecting pipes 42 may be respectively connected to the multiple connecting pipes 411. By cooperating with the multiple connecting pipes 42 and the multiple connecting pipes 411, the multiple connecting pipes 42 can simultaneously deliver air to the interior of multiple shoes, and the hot air blown out of the air outlet 201 can be blown simultaneously to the interior of different shoes, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0079] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the extension tube 41 extends into the door seal 23 and is connected to the air outlet 201, while the other end of the extension tube 41 is bent and extended toward the inside of the garment processing cavity 20. By bending and extending the extension tube 41 toward the inside of the garment processing cavity 20, the connecting tube 42 at the other end of the extension tube 41 can extend into the internal space of the garment processing cavity 20, making it easier for the connecting tube 42 to extend into the inside of the shoe within the garment processing cavity 20.

[0080] In some embodiments, the extension tube 41 may include a first extension section 412 and a second extension section 413 bent and connected. The first extension section 412 is disposed within the door seal 23 and extends toward the air outlet 201. One end of the first extension section 412 is connected to the air outlet 201. One end of the second extension section 413 is bent and connected to the other end of the first extension section 412, and the other end of the second extension section 413 extends obliquely toward the interior of the garment processing cavity 20. By bending and connecting the first extension section 412 and the second extension section 413, the first extension section 412 and the second extension section 413 are connected at an angle, which facilitates one end of the extension tube 41 extending through the first extension section 412 into the door seal 23 and connecting with the air outlet 201, while the other end of the extension tube 41 extends obliquely toward the center of the interior of the garment processing cavity 20 through the second extension section 413.

[0081] In some embodiments, the connector 411 may be located at the end of the second extension 413 that is away from the first extension 412. The extension direction of the connector 411 may be consistent with the extension direction of the second extension 413.

[0083] like Figure 4 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, a support frame 5 may be provided inside the garment processing chamber 20. The support frame 5 can be detachably fixed to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 22, and the top of the support frame 5 may have a support surface for placing shoes. In this way, through the garment processing chamber 20, shoes can be placed on the support surface of the support frame 5 for drying, improving the stability of the shoes inside the inner cylinder 22, facilitating the insertion of the connecting tube 42 into the shoes, and thus improving the stability of the connection between the connecting tube 42 and the shoes.

[0084] In some embodiments, the support frame 5 may include a support top plate 51 and a plurality of support legs 52 disposed below the support top plate 51. The top ends of the support legs 52 are connected to the support top plate 51, and the bottom ends of the support legs 52 are used to fix them to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 22. The support surface may be formed on the top surface of the support top plate 51.
