[0026] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the garment processing device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a garment processing device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the internal circulation air of the clothing processing device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0027] The clothing processing device 100 provided in this application embodiment can be a washing machine, a dryer, or a washer-dryer combo, etc. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clothing processing device 100 provided in this application embodiment includes an outer shell 20 and a tubular part 10. The tubular part 10 is disposed inside the outer shell 20, and the clothing to be cleaned can be put into the tubular part 10 for cleaning.

[0028] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The tubular part 10 includes an outer tubular body 11 and an inner tubular body 12. The outer tubular body 11 is sleeved on the outside of the inner tubular body 12. One end of the tubular part 10 along the axial direction forms a clothing inlet 13. In some embodiments, the tubular part 10 also includes a drive motor. The drive motor is located at the end of the outer tubular body 11 away from the clothing inlet 13. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the inner tubular body 12. When the drive motor is working, it can drive the inner tubular body 12 to rotate relative to the outer tubular body 11.

[0029] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The garment processing equipment 100 also includes a drying device 30, which is connected to the drum section 10 and is used to dry the garments inside the drum section 10.

[0030] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The drying device 30 includes a dehumidifying disc 31 and a disc dehumidification structure 32. The dehumidifying disc 31 is used to dehumidify the air passing through it. Specifically, the dehumidifying disc 31 has an adsorption zone and a regeneration zone. When humid air passes through the adsorption zone of the dehumidifying disc 31, the moisture-absorbing material on the dehumidifying disc 31 adsorbs the moisture in the air. The regeneration zone of the dehumidifying disc 31 is exposed to hot air, that is, hot air is generated and blown towards the regeneration zone to evaporate the moisture on the moisture-absorbing material in the regeneration zone. The process of the dehumidifying disc 31 adsorbing moisture is called adsorption, and the process of the moisture being evaporated from the dehumidifying disc 31 is called regeneration. After regeneration, the regeneration zone of the dehumidifying disc 31 can be rotated to form an adsorption zone, so that moisture in the air passing through the dehumidifying disc 31 can be continuously adsorbed.

[0031] In some embodiments, the dehumidifying disc 31 can be a honeycomb or corrugated disc carrying a desiccant, capable of adsorbing and desorbing absorbed water vapor to achieve repeated desorption and regeneration. In other embodiments, the dehumidifying disc 31 includes an inorganic / organic fiber carrier (such as ceramics, glass fibers, MOFs, COFs, cordierite, etc.), coated with a desiccant such as a molecular sieve. The desiccant is uniformly distributed between and on the surface of the fiber carrier to achieve adsorption of moisture in the airflow. The desiccant can be, for example, zeolite, modified / synthetic zeolite, molecular sieves (including but not limited to single-crystal or mixed-crystal molecular sieves such as A-type molecular sieves, X / Y-type molecular sieves, ZSM molecular sieves, Beta molecular sieves, etc.), polymeric desiccant, alkali metal aluminosilicates (X molecular sieves), lithium chloride, silica gel, modified silica gel, activated alumina, and other materials with hygroscopic properties.

[0032] Regarding the rotary dehumidification structure 32, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 3The rotary dehumidification structure 32 includes a heater 321, a second drive fan 322, and a cooler 323. Driven by the second drive fan 322, the air heated by the heater 321 flows to the regeneration zone, and the airflow in the regeneration zone is dehumidified by the cooler 323 and then flows to the heater 321.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 The drying device 30 also includes a first driving fan 33, which drives the airflow to circulate between the drum section 10 and the dehumidification turntable 31. Specifically, the flow direction of the circulating air in the clothing processing equipment is as follows: Driven by the first driving fan 33, the circulating air is heated into high-temperature dry air after passing through the adsorption zone of the dehumidification turntable 31, and then enters the drum section 10 to remove the moisture from the clothes. After passing through the filter screen 60, the air flows again through the first driving fan 33 to the adsorption zone of the dehumidification turntable 31, and so on.

[0034] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 The garment processing equipment 100 also includes an ion generator 40, and there is at least one ion generator 40. The ions ionized by the ion generator 40 can sterilize the interior of the garment processing equipment 100.

[0035] There is at least one ion generator 40, meaning that the number of ion generators 40 can be set to one or more.

[0036] In some embodiments, the ion generator 40 is a plasma generator, an ozone generator, or a negative ion generator. During the washing or drying process of the clothing treatment equipment 100, the ion generator 40 can be controlled to work. The ion generator 40 boosts the low voltage to a high voltage through a boost circuit. The high voltage electric field ionizes the air inside the clothing treatment equipment 100 to generate positive ions, negative ions, or ozone molecules. This can effectively remove odors, formaldehyde, benzene, and other harmful gases from the air inside the clothing treatment equipment 100, while also killing bacteria and viruses in the air. The ions can also mix with the water in the drum section 10 to sterilize the clothes being washed.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 The ion generator 40 provided in this application embodiment includes an ionization end 41, wherein at least one of the cylindrical part 10 and the drying device 30 is provided with at least one mounting hole 50, and the ionization end 41 is mounted in the mounting hole 50.

[0038] The ionization terminal 41 of the ion generator 40 is a key component that converts molecules in the air into charged ions. When the ion generator 40 is powered on, the internal boost circuit generates a DC voltage of several thousand volts, which is applied to the electrode of the ionization terminal 41 to generate a high-voltage electric field. The high-voltage electric field ionizes the air inside the clothing processing equipment 100.

[0039] At least one of the cartridge section 10 and the drying device 30 is provided with a mounting hole 50. That is, the mounting hole 50 can be provided on the cartridge section 10, or only on the drying device 30, or both the cartridge section 10 and the drying device 30 can be provided with mounting holes 50 for mounting the ion generator 40 respectively.

[0040] It should be noted that when the mounting hole 50 is provided on the cylindrical part 10, the mounting hole 50 is located on the outer cylinder 11, the ionization end 41 is inserted into the mounting hole 50 and there is a gap between the ionization end 41 and the inner cylinder 12, so as not to affect the rotation of the inner cylinder 12.

[0041] In this embodiment, by defining that at least one of the tubular part 10 and the drying device 30 is provided with a mounting hole 50 and the ionization end 41 of the ion generator 40 is installed in the mounting hole 50, the ion generator 40 can directly ionize the air inside the tubular part 10 and / or the drying device 30. The generated ions sterilize the internal environment of the clothing processing equipment 100, avoiding the situation in related technologies where the ions generated by the ion generator are blown into the tubular part by an air pump, which makes the structure of the clothing processing equipment complex and the cost high.

[0042] Please see Figures 4-7 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the drying apparatus 30 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the drying apparatus 30 and the ion generator 40 provided in some embodiments of this application; Figure 6 This is a top view schematic diagram of the drying apparatus 30 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the sectional view along the AA direction.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The drying device 30 also includes a drying housing 34, see [link to details]. Figure 6 The dehumidifying turntable 31 is rotatably connected inside the drying housing 34. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The drying housing 34 is provided with mounting holes 50, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The ionization end 41 is installed in the mounting hole 50 and is positioned close to the dehumidification turntable 31.

[0044] It should be noted that when the ionization end 41 is installed on the drying shell 34, there should be a gap between the part of the ionization end 41 inserted into the drying shell 34 and the dehumidification turntable 31, so as to avoid the ionization end 41 affecting the rotation of the dehumidification turntable 31.

[0045] Regarding the setting of the ionization end 41 close to the dehumidification turntable 31, for example, the ionization end 41 can be set directly above or directly below the dehumidification turntable 31 to achieve the setting of the ionization end 41 close to the dehumidification turntable 31.

[0046] When the ion generator 40 is working, the ion concentration near the ionization end 41 is relatively high. Therefore, in this embodiment, the ionization end 41 is positioned close to the dehumidification turntable 31 to facilitate better sterilization of the dehumidification turntable 31. In addition, when the airflow circulates within the dehumidification turntable 31 and the drum section 10, the ionized ions can flow into the drum section 10 with the internal circulation, which can also sterilize the clothes inside the drum section 10.

[0047] It should be noted that when sterilization is required on the dehumidification turntable 31 separately, since the ionization end 41 is positioned close to the dehumidification turntable 31, only the ion generator 40 can be controlled to operate to sterilize the dehumidification turntable 31.

[0048] For example, in some embodiments, when the ionization terminal 41 is positioned close to the dehumidification turntable 31, the clothing treatment device 100 includes a first sterilization mode. The first sterilization mode is used to sterilize only the dehumidification turntable 31, that is, the sterilization method includes: In response to a command to sterilize the dehumidification turntable 31 separately; Control the ion generator 40 to operate in the first sterilization mode.

[0049] It should be noted that the instruction to sterilize the dehumidification turntable 31 separately can be a user-input instruction or an instruction triggered by the clothing processing device 100 itself based on preset logic.

[0050] In some embodiments, the sterilization method further includes: In response to a command to sterilize the dehumidification turntable 31 separately; The ion generator 40 is controlled to operate, and the dehumidification turntable 31 is controlled to rotate to run the first sterilization mode.

[0051] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 The structure of the drying apparatus 30 provided in some embodiments of this application is simplified. Figure 1 .

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 A first air duct 341 and a second air duct 342 are formed inside the drying shell 34. The first air duct 341 is connected to the air inlet 37 of the drying device 30, and the second air duct 342 is connected to the exhaust end 38 of the drying device 30. The dehumidification turntable 31 is located between the first air duct 341 and the second air duct 342. The airflow in the first air duct 341 can flow to the second air duct 342 after passing through the dehumidification turntable 31.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first drive fan 33 is positioned near the air inlet 37, meaning the first drive fan 33 is located on the first air duct 341; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 8 The arrows indicate the direction of airflow. When the first drive fan 33 is in operation, air enters from the air inlet 37 of the drying device 30 and flows to the first air duct 341. The airflow in the first air duct 341 flows upward, passes through the dehumidification turntable 31 for dehumidification, and then flows to the second air duct 342. Through the second air duct 342, it flows to the exhaust end 38 of the drying device 30.

[0054] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 8 The mounting hole 50 can be set close to the dehumidification turntable 31 and connected to the first air duct 341, or the mounting hole 50 can be set close to the dehumidification turntable 31 and connected to the second air duct 342.

[0055] When the mounting hole 50 is close to the dehumidification turntable 31 and connected to the first air duct 341, if the ion generator 40 and the first drive fan 33 are in working condition, the ions generated by the ion generator 40 are distributed in the first air duct 341. As the airflow in the first air duct 341 flows through the dehumidification turntable 31 to the second air duct 342 under the drive of the first drive fan 33, the airflow will carry away the ions through the dehumidification turntable 31 to sterilize the dehumidification turntable 31.

[0056] When the mounting hole 50 is connected to the second air duct 342, if the ion generator 40 is in operation, the ion concentration in the second air duct 342 is relatively high, which can sterilize the dehumidification disc 31. When the mounting hole 50 is close to the dehumidification disc 31 and connected to the second air duct 342, the position of the mounting hole 50 can be set as far away as possible from the exhaust end 38 of the drying device 30.

[0057] It should be noted that when there are two or more mounting holes 50, in some embodiments, some mounting holes 50 may be connected to the first air duct 341 and some mounting holes 50 may be connected to the second air duct 342.

[0058] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the same mounting hole 50 can be configured to connect to both the first air duct 341 and the second air duct 342.

[0059] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 The structure of the drying apparatus 30 provided in some embodiments of this application is simplified. Figure 2 .

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 9The drying shell 34 forms an inlet air duct 343, an intermediate air duct 344, and an outlet air duct 345. The inlet air duct 343 is connected to the air inlet end 37 of the drying device 30, and the outlet air duct 345 is connected to the exhaust end 38 of the drying device 30. The dehumidification turntable 31 separates the inlet air duct 343, the intermediate air duct 344, and the outlet air duct 345. The airflow in the inlet air duct 343 flows to the intermediate air duct 344 after passing through the dehumidification turntable 31, and the airflow in the intermediate air duct 344 flows to the outlet air duct 345 after passing through the dehumidification turntable 31.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 The first drive fan 33 is positioned near the air inlet end 37, meaning the first drive fan 33 is located on the inlet air duct 343; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 9 The arrows indicate the direction of airflow. When the first drive fan 33 is in operation, air enters from the air inlet 37 of the drying device 30 and flows into the air duct 343. The airflow in the air duct 343 flows upward through the dehumidification turntable 31 and then into the middle air duct 344. The airflow in the middle air duct 344 flows downward through the dehumidification turntable 31 and then into the exhaust air duct 345. The airflow in the exhaust air duct 345 flows into the exhaust end 38 of the drying device 30.

[0062] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 50 is located near the dehumidification turntable 31, and the mounting hole 50 can be configured to communicate with the inlet air duct 343; or, please refer to Figure 9 The mounting hole 50 can be connected to the intermediate air duct 344; or the mounting hole 50 can be connected to the exhaust air duct 345.

[0063] For example, when the mounting hole 50 is close to the dehumidification turntable 31 and the mounting hole 50 is connected to the intermediate air duct 344, the ions generated by the ion generator 40 are distributed in the intermediate air duct 344. When the first drive fan 33 is in working condition, the airflow in the intermediate air duct 344 flows through the dehumidification turntable 31 to the exhaust air duct 345. The airflow will carry away the ions through the dehumidification turntable 31 to sterilize the dehumidification turntable 31.

[0064] It should be noted that when there are two or more mounting holes 50, in some embodiments, some mounting holes 50 may be connected to the inlet air duct 343, and / or some mounting holes 50 may be connected to the intermediate air duct 344, and / or some mounting holes 50 may be connected to the outlet air duct 345.

[0065] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the mounting hole 50 may be configured to communicate with at least two of the inlet air duct 343, the intermediate air duct 344, and the outlet air duct 345. For example, the mounting hole 50 may be configured to communicate with both the inlet air duct 343 and the outlet air duct 345.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figures 10-12 The drying device 30 is located above the drum section 10, wherein, please refer to Figure 11 The mounting hole 50 can be located on the bottom surface of the drying housing 34 facing the cylindrical part 10, and the ion generator 40 can be located directly below the dehumidification turntable 31; or, please refer to Figure 10 The mounting hole 50 can be located on the top surface of the drying housing 34 on the side opposite to the cylindrical part 10, and the ion generator 40 can be located directly above the dehumidification turntable 31; or, please refer to Figure 12 The mounting hole 50 can be located on the circumferential side of the drying housing 34, with the ion generator 40 close to the dehumidification turntable 31. In other words, the mounting hole 50 can be positioned at a suitable location on the drying housing 34 according to requirements.

[0068] In some embodiments, when there are two or more ion generators 40, an ion generator 40 may be provided that is connected to a mounting hole 50 located on the bottom surface of the drying housing 34, and an ion generator 40 may be provided that is connected to a mounting hole 50 located on the top surface of the drying housing 34.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the mounting hole 50 is located on the bottom surface of the drying housing 34 facing the cylindrical portion 10, the mounting hole 50 is connected to the first air duct 341; when the mounting hole 50 is located on the top surface of the drying housing 34 away from the cylindrical portion 10, the mounting hole 50 is connected to the second air duct 342.

[0070] In some embodiments, the mounting hole 50 is provided on the bottom surface of the drying housing 34 facing the cylindrical part 10, and the vertical section passing through the axis of the cylindrical part 10 is defined as the reference surface, and the mounting hole 50 is provided away from the reference surface.

[0071] Please see Figure 11The reference surface is roughly indicated by a dashed box A. The mounting hole 50 is provided in a radial direction parallel to the tubular part 10 away from the reference surface, so that the mounting hole 50 and the tubular part 10 have more space in the height direction. That is, in this embodiment of the application, by limiting the mounting hole 50 to be set away from the reference surface, it is convenient for the ionization end 41 of the ion generator 40 to be installed in the mounting hole 50 on the bottom surface of the drying shell 34, so that the height of the drying shell 34 will not need to be increased due to the installation of the ionization end 41 at the bottom of the drying shell 34, thereby increasing the height of the clothing processing equipment 100.

[0072] In some embodiments, the mounting hole 50 is provided on the top surface of the drying housing 34 on the side opposite to the cylindrical part 10, and the height of the ionization end 41 protruding from the drying housing 34 is not greater than the maximum height value of the top surface of the drying device 30.

[0073] The maximum height of the top surface of the drying device 30 can be understood as the height corresponding to the highest position among all components of the drying device 30.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, by limiting the height of the ionization end 41 protruding from the drying shell 34 to no greater than the maximum height of the top surface of the drying device 30, it is possible to prevent the height of the clothing processing device 100 from being increased due to the installation of the ionization end 41 of the ion generator 40 on the top surface of the drying shell 34.

[0075] Please see Figures 13-14 , Figure 13 A partial structural diagram of the garment processing device provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 14 This is a right-side schematic diagram of a garment processing device provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0076] In some embodiments, see Figure 13 The cylindrical part 10 is provided with a mounting hole 50 on its circumferential side, and a liquid inlet hole 111 is also provided on the circumferential side of the cylindrical part 10. The detergent box of the clothing treatment device 100 is connected to the liquid inlet hole 111 through a pipe, and the mounting hole 50 is located close to the liquid inlet hole 111.

[0077] Regarding the liquid inlet 111 on the tubular part 10, that is, the liquid inlet 111 is provided on the outer tubular body 11 of the tubular part 10. Usually, the garment processing equipment 100 is provided with a water inlet valve, which is used to connect to an external faucet through a pipe. The water inlet valve is connected to the detergent box through a pipe inside the garment processing equipment 100. The detergent box is connected to the liquid inlet 111 through a pipe. When water enters the detergent box, the water can rinse the detergent in the detergent box. The water mixed with detergent can flow into the tubular part 10 through the pipe and the liquid inlet 111.

[0078] The mounting hole 50 is located close to the liquid inlet hole 111. Since the ionization end 41 of the ion generator 40 is installed in the mounting hole 50, the ion concentration around the mounting hole 50 is relatively high. Therefore, when the mounting hole 50 is located close to the liquid inlet hole 111, it is beneficial to have enough ions flowing to the detergent box, so as to sterilize and deodorize the detergent box and the pipes connected to the detergent box.

[0079] In some embodiments, see Figure 13 The cylindrical part 10 has a first mounting joint 112 and a second mounting joint 113. The first mounting joint 112 and the second mounting joint 113 are connected to the interior of the outer cylinder 11. The first mounting joint 112 has a liquid inlet hole 111 and the second mounting joint 113 has a mounting hole 50. The ionization end 41 of the ion generator 40 is inserted into the second mounting joint 113.

[0080] In this embodiment, a first mounting connector 112 and a second mounting connector 113 are formed on the cylindrical part 10 to facilitate the connection of the pipe connected to the detergent box to the first mounting connector 112, and to facilitate the installation of the ionization end 41 of the ion generator 40 on the second mounting connector 113.

[0081] In some embodiments, the distance between the first mounting connector 112 and the second mounting connector 113 is in the range of 10mm to 50mm, so that the mounting hole 50 is positioned close to the liquid inlet hole 111.

[0082] In some embodiments, the axis of the mounting hole 50 is on the same horizontal plane as the axis of the liquid inlet hole 111, or the axis of the mounting hole 50 is located above the axis of the liquid inlet hole 111.

[0083] Please see Figure 14 The diagram shows that the distance between the center of the mounting hole 50 and the center of the liquid inlet hole 111 is d. d can be set to 0, that is, the axis of the mounting hole 50 and the axis of the liquid inlet hole 111 are on the same horizontal plane; or, the axis of the mounting hole 50 can be set to be above the axis of the liquid inlet hole 111, in which case the distance d is greater than 0.

[0084] Assuming the mounting hole 50 is located directly below the liquid inlet hole 111, the close proximity of the two makes it relatively easy for water entering from the liquid inlet hole 111 to flow downwards to the ionization end 41 of the ion generator 40, which is not conducive to the ionization of air by the ion generator 40. In this embodiment, by limiting the axis of the mounting hole 50 to be on the same horizontal plane as the axis of the liquid inlet hole 111 or the axis of the mounting hole 50 to be above the axis of the liquid inlet hole 111, it is possible to prevent water entering from the liquid inlet hole 111 from easily flowing to the ionization end 41 of the ion generator 40.

[0085] Please see Figure 15 , Figure 15Schematic diagram of the internal structure of the garment processing device provided in some embodiments of this application Figure 2 .

[0086] In some embodiments, see Figure 15 The tubular part 10 has a clothing inlet 13 at one end, and a tubular inlet pipe 114 is formed on its circumferential side, positioned close to the clothing inlet 13. The drying device 30 includes a drying outlet pipe 35, one end of which is connected to the drying housing 34, and the other end forming an exhaust end 38 of the drying device 30. The exhaust end 38 is connected to the tubular inlet pipe 114, and mounting holes 50 are provided on the drying outlet pipe 35 and / or the tubular inlet pipe 114. (See also...) Figure 15 The diagram shows the ionization terminal 41 of the ion generator 40 connected to the drying discharge pipe 35.

[0087] The drying discharge pipe 35 and / or the cylinder inlet pipe 114 are provided with mounting holes 50. That is, the mounting holes 50 can be provided on the drying discharge pipe 35, or on the cylinder air outlet 115, or on both the drying discharge pipe 35 and the cylinder inlet pipe 114.

[0088] It should be noted that when the cylinder enters the pipe 114, the mounting hole 50 is provided, which can be understood as the mounting hole 50 being provided on the cylinder part 10; when the drying discharge pipe 35, the mounting hole 50 is provided, which can be understood as the mounting hole 50 being provided on the drying discharge pipe 35 and being far away from the dehumidification turntable 31 of the drying device 30.

[0089] In this embodiment, by providing mounting holes 50 on the drying discharge pipe 35 and / or the drum inlet pipe 114, the first drive fan 33 of the clothing processing equipment 100 itself can be used to blow ions generated by the ion generator 40 into the drum section 10.

[0090] Please see Figure 16 , Figure 16 Schematic diagram of the internal structure of the garment processing device provided in some embodiments of this application Figure 3 .

[0091] In some embodiments, see Figure 16 The circumferential side of the tubular section 10 has a tubular air outlet 115, which is located away from the clothing inlet 13; please refer to Figure 16 and Figure 11The drying device 30 includes a drying inlet pipe 36, one end of which is connected to the drying housing 34, and the other end of which forms the air inlet 37 of the drying device 30. The air inlet 37 of the drying inlet pipe 36 is connected to the air outlet 115 of the cylinder. Mounting holes 50 are provided on the drying inlet pipe 36 and / or the air outlet 115 of the cylinder. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 16 The diagram shows the ionization terminal 41 of the ion generator 40 connected to the air outlet 115 of the cylinder.

[0092] The installation hole 50 is provided on the drying inlet pipe 36 and / or the cylinder outlet 115. That is, the installation hole 50 can be provided on the drying inlet pipe 36, or on the cylinder outlet 115, or on both the drying inlet pipe 36 and the cylinder outlet 115.

[0093] It should be noted that when the mounting hole 50 is provided on the air outlet 115 of the cylinder, it can be understood that the mounting hole 50 is provided on the cylinder part 10; when the mounting hole 50 is provided on the drying inlet pipe 36, it can be understood that the mounting hole 50 is provided on the drying device 30 and is far away from the dehumidification turntable 31 of the drying device 30.

[0094] In this embodiment, by providing mounting holes 50 on the drying inlet pipe 36 and / or the drum outlet 115, the first drive fan 33 of the clothing processing equipment 100 itself can be used to blow the ions generated by the ion generator 40 toward the dehumidification turntable 31 and into the drum section 10.

[0095] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
