[0086] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the combined washer-dryer washing machine 1000 includes a garment storage device 1100 for storing garments to be processed ("processing" here refers to either washing or drying). The garment storage device 1100 may be a storage cylinder, a storage basket, or other device capable of storing garments. For example, the garment storage device 1100 may be configured as a drum. The drum consists of an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder. The inner cylinder is used to store garments to be processed and rotates under the action of a drive mechanism, while the outer cylinder is fixed to the main body by a suspension. The inner cylinder has water and air permeable holes. The outer cylinder is impermeable to water and air and has a first air outlet. The diameter of the inner cylinder is smaller than that of the outer cylinder. A door main body 1110 is opened at a position corresponding to the garment storage device 1100 in the housing 1200 of the combined washer-dryer washing machine 1000. The door main body 1110 is pivotally connected to the housing 1200. The opening and closing of the door body 1110 may be controlled manually by a user or with the aid of an electronic controller.

[0087] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the combined washer-dryer washing machine 1000 includes a drying device 2000 for drying clothes in a clothing storage device 1100. The drying device 2000 is disposed above the clothing storage device 1100. The relative positions of the clothing storage device 1100 and the drying device 2000 are not fixed, and they may be disposed facing each other vertically or front to back. For example, the drying device 2000 may be disposed above the clothing storage device 1100 (Figure 6), or behind the clothing storage device 1100, or below the clothing storage device 1100, or to the side of the clothing storage device 1100 (not shown).

[0088] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in the embodiment of the present application, the drying device 2000 includes a moisture absorption passage, a regeneration passage, a circulation fan 2100, a moisture absorption and dehumidification member 2200, a moisture absorption and dehumidification rotary disk drive unit 2300, and a regeneration fan 2400.

[0089] As shown in Fig. 6, the first air inlet 2901 of the moisture absorption passage communicates with the air outlet duct 1300 of the clothing storage apparatus 1100. The first air outlet 2902 of the moisture absorption passage communicates with the air inlet duct of the clothing storage apparatus 1100. As shown in Fig. 9, the first air outlet 2902 communicates with the air inlet duct of the clothing storage apparatus 1100 (not shown in Fig. 9) via the connecting member 1400. The circulation fan 2100 is located in the moisture absorption passage and is used to form a circulating airflow within the clothing storage device 1100 and the moisture absorption passage. The regeneration fan 2400 is located in the regeneration passage and is used to form a dehumidification airflow within the regeneration passage.

[0090] 6 and 9, the clothing storage apparatus 1100 has a first airflow inlet and a first airflow outlet. The first airflow inlet is a connection between the air inlet duct and the clothing storage apparatus 1100. Alternatively, the first airflow inlet on the clothing storage apparatus 1100 is in communication with the drying apparatus 2000 via the air inlet duct. The first airflow outlet is a connection between the air outlet duct 1300 and the clothing storage apparatus 1100. Alternatively, the first airflow outlet on the clothing storage apparatus 1100 is in communication with the drying apparatus 2000 via the air outlet duct 1300.

[0091] A portion of moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 is located on the moisture absorption passage, and another portion is located on the regeneration passage, so that the circulating airflow in the moisture absorption passage and the dehumidifying airflow in the regeneration passage all flow through moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200. Moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotary disk driver 2300, which may be, for example, a drive motor, is used to move (e.g., rotate) moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 relative to the moisture absorption passage and the regeneration passage. During the rotation of moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200, moisture in the circulating airflow is absorbed and discharged via the dehumidifying airflow.

[0092] In one embodiment, moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 may include moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201. A moisture absorbent for absorbing moisture is provided on moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201. The moisture absorbent may be, for example, zeolite (molecular sieve), alkali metal silica aluminate (13X molecular sieve), lithium chloride, silica gel, modified silica gel, activated alumina, or the like.

[0093] Moisture absorption and dehumidification rotating disk drive unit 2300 is used to drive moisture absorption and dehumidification rotating disk 2201 to rotate relative to the moisture absorption path and the regeneration path. A circulating airflow and a dehumidification flow simultaneously flow over moisture absorption and dehumidification rotating disk 2201. Here, the region of moisture absorption and dehumidification rotating disk 2201 that is circulated by the circulating airflow is moisture absorption region 2907, and the region that is circulated by the dehumidification flow is regeneration region 2908.

[0094] A first separating member 2725 is provided on the first housing (e.g., lower housing 2700), and a second separating member 2822 is provided on the second mounting portion 2821. After the first housing and the second housing (e.g., upper housing 2820) are fixedly connected, the second separating member 2822 and the first separating member 2725 face each other, thereby dividing the space formed by the first housing (e.g., lower housing 2700) and the second housing (e.g., upper housing 2820) in which the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 is located into a moisture absorbing region 2907 and a regenerating region 2908; that is, the first separating member 2725 and the second separating member 2822 divide the moisture absorbing turntable 2201 into the moisture absorbing region 2907 and the regenerating region 2908.

[0095] 8 and 9, the drying device 2000 further includes a regeneration heating module 2500 and a condenser 2600 provided on the regeneration passage. The regeneration heating module 2500 covers the regeneration area of ​​the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 (moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201) and is used to heat the regeneration area of ​​the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 (moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201) and desorb moisture absorbed by the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 (moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201). The condenser 2600 condenses the dehumidified stream flowing out from the regeneration area of ​​the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 to dry the dehumidified stream.

[0096] In one embodiment, a rotary disk detection device may be provided at the position of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, which is detected by the current of the rotary disk driving motor, and the rotation speed of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 may be monitored and transmitted to the control device of the clothing treatment device, thereby maintaining continuous rotation of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 during the drying process and avoiding continuous heating of the area where the regenerative heating module 2500 is located, which would damage the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201. The control device of the clothing treatment device controls the heating power of the regenerative heating module 2500, the circulating power of the circulating fan 2100, the regenerative power of the regenerative fan 2400, etc., based on feedback of the rotation speed of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201.

[0097] In one embodiment, drying apparatus 2000 may further include an upper housing and a lower housing (for example, when drying apparatus 2000 is arranged horizontally). The upper housing and the lower housing cover and secure the various components of drying apparatus 2000, making drying apparatus 2000 an integrated module. In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, drying apparatus 2000 further includes a housing. The housing includes a first housing (lower housing 2700) and a second housing (upper housing 2820) that house moisture absorbing / dehumidifying rotary disk 2201. In one embodiment, two separating members, first separating members 2725-1 and 2725-2 shown in FIG. 10, are provided on the first housing, and two separating members, second separating members 2822-1 and 2822-2 shown in FIG. 11, are provided on the second housing. A short shaft 2721 and a receiving portion for attaching the short shaft 2721 may be provided at a central position of the first housing (lower housing 2700), and one separating member 2725-1 of the first housing may be configured to extend from the inner peripheral wall of the housing to the housing receiving portion. Another separating member 2725-2 of the first housing (lower housing 2700) may be configured to extend from another position on the inner peripheral wall of the housing to the housing receiving portion. At least two separating members do not intersect with the short shaft 2721 and divide the internal space formed by the docking of the first and second housings into two spaces, i.e., a first space and a second space, or a quick-wicking space and a regenerating space, or a quick-wicking region 2907 and a regenerating region 2908. In some examples, the receiving portion has a circular ring shape, and the at least two separating members are provided tangentially to the outer periphery of the circular receiving portion. At least one third separating member 2726 may be further provided on the first mounting portion 2720 of the lower housing 2700. At least one third separator 2726 divides the absorbent region 2907 into at least two portions, a first absorbent region 2907-1 and a second absorbent region 2907-2, thereby dividing the circulating airflow entering the absorbent region 2907.

[0098] A first sealing member is provided between the moisture absorbing / dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 and the first separation member 2725 of the lower housing 2700, and the first sealing member is fixed to the upper end surface of the first separation member 2725 (for example, by screws, fasteners, adhesive, etc.). The first sealing member may include, for example, a sealing strip 2728 and a metal pressing piece 2727. The sealing strip 2728 may be made of a material such as rubber, foam, or leather strap. The metal pressing piece 2727 may be connected to the sealing strip 2728 by screws or adhesive to fix the sealing strip 2728 on the first separation member 2725.

[0099] A second sealing member is provided between moisture absorbing / dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 and second separating member 2822 of upper housing 2820, and the second sealing member is fixed to the lower end surface of second separating member 2822 (for example, by screws, fasteners, adhesive, etc.) and is located directly above first sealing members 2727 and 2728. The second sealing member may include, for example, a sealing ring 2824 and a metal pressing piece 2823. Sealing ring 2824 may be made of a material such as rubber, foam, or leather strap. The metal pressing piece 2823 is connected to the sealing ring 2824 by screws or adhesive to fix the sealing ring 2824 on the second separating member 2822 .

[0100] The first sealing members 2727, 2728 and the second sealing members 2823, 2824 can realize dynamic sealing between the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 and the lower housing 2700, that is, during the rotation process of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200, the moisture absorbing region 2907 and the regenerating region 2908 are separated and a relative seal is maintained.

[0101] 10 and 11, a housing seal ring 2724 is provided at the connection portion of the first mounting portion 2720 of the upper housing 2820 and the lower housing 2700. The housing seal ring 2724 is used to maintain the sealing property of the space in which the moisture absorption and dehumidification member 2200 is located. The housing seal ring 2724 may be, for example, a rubber gasket or a silicone gasket.

[0102] In one embodiment, the upper and lower housings of drying apparatus 2000 may be separate housings corresponding to a single component of drying apparatus 2000, or may be integrated housings corresponding to multiple components of drying apparatus 2000. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, lower housing 2700 of drying apparatus 2000 is an integrated housing. On integrated lower housing 2700, a mounting portion for mounting circulation fan 2100, a mounting portion for mounting moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 (i.e., a first mounting portion), a mounting portion for mounting regenerative fan 2400, and a mounting portion for mounting condenser 2600 are provided. As shown in FIG. 8, the upper housing of drying apparatus 2000 is a separate housing and includes upper housing 2810 for mounting circulation fan 2100, upper housing 2820 for mounting moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200, and upper housing 2830 for mounting condenser 2600. Condenser 2600 may further have a water inlet 2610 and a water outlet 2620.

[0103] 7 to 9, a plurality of fourth mounting portions 2701 are provided on lower housing 2700 of drying device 2000, and a fifth mounting portion 2801 is provided on upper housing 2820. Fourth mounting portions 2701 and fifth mounting portions 2801 are fixed to housing 1200 of integrated washer-dryer washing machine 1000 with a wrap fastener, thereby realizing the mounting and fixing of entire drying device 2000. In this embodiment, there is no direct rigid connection between drying device 2000 and clothing storage device 1100, so that vibrations during the operation of clothing storage device 1100 are prevented from being transmitted to drying device 2000 (especially moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200), thereby improving the stability and reliability of drying device 2000.

[0104] The upper housing 2820 includes a circular second mounting portion 2821 for mounting the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200, and further includes a first air outlet 2902 of the moisture absorption passage. The moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 is rotatably connected on the minor axis 2721 of the first mounting portion 2720, such that the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200 is rotatably connected in the substantially cylindrical space formed by the first mounting portion 2720 and the second mounting portion 2821.

[0105] In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, the first air inlet 2901 of the moisture absorption passage of the drying device 2000 communicates with the air outlet duct 1300 of the clothing storage device 1100 via a flexible tube (e.g., a corrugated hose) 2903. In one embodiment, the air outlet duct 1300 may be provided with a filter (e.g., a filtering net) for filtering out dust and clothing lint. Furthermore, the connecting member 1400 may communicate with the air inlet duct of the clothing storage device 1100 via a flexible tube (not shown in FIGS. 6 and 9). This prevents vibrations from the clothing storage device 1100 from being transmitted to the drying device 2000 (especially the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200), thereby improving the stability and reliability of the drying device 2000.

[0106] 8 and 9, the components of drying device 2000 (including circulation fan 2100, moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200, moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotary disk drive unit 2300, regeneration fan 2400, regeneration heating module 2500, condenser 2600, etc.) are arranged horizontally, and the rotation axes of the rotating components (including circulation fan 2100, moisture absorbing and dehumidifying member 2200, moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotary disk drive unit 2300, and regeneration fan 2400) are substantially parallel and substantially perpendicular to the rotation axes of upper housing of combination washer-dryer washing machine 1000 and clothing storage device 1100. According to this embodiment, the height of combination washer-dryer washing machine 1000 can be minimized, thereby saving space.

[0107] In one embodiment, the dehumidification module 20 includes a moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201. As shown in FIG. 12, the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 has a plurality of first holes 2202 that allow airflow to pass through and dry the airflow passing through the plurality of first holes 2202. The structure of the first holes 2202 is not limited and may be through-holes of any shape (e.g., circular, elliptical, etc.) or rotary holes with any angle. The arrangement of the first holes 2202 is also not limited and may be an arrangement in which multiple curved surfaces are intertwined, or an arrangement in which arc surfaces and wave surfaces are alternately arranged. The extension direction of the first holes 2202 has a fixed extension distance, i.e., the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 has a fixed thickness, ensuring that the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 has good dehumidification performance.

[0108] The filter mesh 601 is installed in the air outlet duct 1300 to filter airflow, filtering out lint and impurities caught in the airflow and blocking or attaching the lint and impurities to the filtering surface of the filter mesh 601. As shown in FIG. 13 , the filter mesh 601 has a plurality of second holes 6013 that allow airflow to pass through. The structure of the second holes 6013 is not specifically limited and may be through-holes of any shape or rotated holes with any angle. The specific structural form of the second holes 6013 is also not specifically limited and may be a square structure, a rectangular structure, a diamond structure, a circular structure, or other polygonal structures, such as a hexagonal structure, a regular hexagonal structure, an octagonal structure, or a regular octagonal structure. When designing the structure of the filter mesh 601, the material, mesh size, aperture, and aperture ratio of the filter mesh 601 must be taken into consideration. The mechanical strength, service life, and filtering effect of the filter mesh 601 must also be fully considered, and the specific structure of the second holes 6013 in the filter mesh 601 must be reasonably determined.

[0109] Furthermore, the second holes 6013 have a certain extension distance in the extension direction, i.e., the filtration mesh 601 also has a certain thickness, which ensures the filtration effect of the filtration mesh 601 against lint and impurities. Furthermore, to balance the filtering effect and dehumidifying effect of the clothing treatment device, the distance of the second holes 6013 along the extension direction of the second holes 6013 may be set to be smaller than the distance of the first holes 2202 along the extension direction of the first holes 2202.

[0110] The area of ​​the second holes 6013 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202, which reduces, prevents or avoids clogging of the first holes 2202 in the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201. The airflow from the clothing storage device is guided to the drying device 2000 by the air outlet duct 1300, and a filter screen 601 is provided in the air outlet duct 1300 to filter the airflow. Therefore, the airflow first passes through the multiple second holes 6013 of the filtering mesh 601, and then passes through the multiple first holes 2202 in the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, and the area of ​​the second holes 6013 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202, which helps the filtering mesh 601 to filter smaller lint and impurities, reduces the content of lint and impurities in the airflow passing through the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, avoids clogging of the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, and improves the dehumidification efficiency of the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201.

[0111] In this embodiment, the clothing treatment device includes a plurality of first holes 2202 provided in the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 and a plurality of second holes 6013 provided in the filter net 601, the area of ​​the second holes 6013 being smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202, so that the airflow can be sufficiently filtered as it passes through the second holes 6013 of the filter net 601, filtering out lint and impurities in the airflow. Furthermore, because the lint and impurities in the airflow are sufficiently filtered after passing through the filter net 601, the airflow can be sufficiently dehumidified as it passes through the first holes 2202, which have a larger cross-sectional area, improving the dehumidification efficiency of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201.

[0112] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the second holes 6013 is less than one-tenth the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202. In this embodiment, the size relationship between the area of ​​the second holes 6013 and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202 is a more appropriate range that the inventors arrived at through multiple experiments. The inventors first considered limiting the size of the first holes 2202 of the filter net 601 to prevent clogging of the first holes 2202 of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, taking into consideration factors such as the effectiveness of removing lint and impurities, and airflow pressure / impact.

[0113] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the second holes 6013 is smaller than 1 / 10 of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202. The area of ​​the second holes 6013 is set to 1 / 50 to 1 / 900 of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202.

[0114] Furthermore, when the area of ​​the second hole 6013 is 1 / 100 to 1 / 900 of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first hole 2202, the adhesion / blocking action of the filtration mesh 601, the risk of clogging of the filtration mesh 601, the service life of the filtration mesh 601, the dehumidification efficiency of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, the failure rate of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 and the service life of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 are better among them.

[0115] In one embodiment, the first hole 2202 is a hole formed by an arc surface and a wave surface, and the wave height between the wave surface and the arc surface is 1.5 mm to 3 mm. Preferably, the wave height between the wave surface and the arc surface is 1.7 mm to 1.8 mm.

[0116] The dehumidification module 20 may include a moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, which may include a moisture absorbent such as a molecular sieve, alkali metal silica aluminate (13X molecular sieve), lithium chloride, silica gel, modified silica gel, activated alumina, etc. The following description will be given taking a moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 using a molecular sieve as an example.

[0117] The moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 has first holes 2202, which may be holes formed by a circular arc surface and a triangular surface, or holes formed by a large circular arc surface and a small circular arc surface, or holes formed by a circular arc surface and a wave surface. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, showing four complete circular arc surfaces, each of which has substantially the same center. In the first region 2210 shown in FIG. 12, the first holes 2202 are holes formed by a circular arc surface and a triangular surface. In the second region 2220 shown in FIG. 12, the first holes 2202 are holes formed by a circular arc surface and another circular arc surface (a quarter circular arc surface or an arc surface of another length). In the third region 2230 shown in FIG. 12, the first holes 2202 are holes formed by a circular arc surface and a wave surface. The wave surface may be a surface formed by stretching in a sine / cosine pattern.

[0118] The wave height between the wave front and the arc surface is the distance between two adjacent concentric circles, i.e., d1 shown in FIG. 12, d1 may be set to 1.5 mm to 3 mm. For example, it may be set to 1.6 mm, 1.9 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.7 mm, or 2.9 mm. Preferably, the wave height between the wave front and the arc surface (i.e., d1 shown in FIG. 12), d1, may be set to 1.7 mm, 1.75 mm, or 1.8 mm.

[0119] The moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 has a constant extension distance in the extension direction of the first holes 2202, i.e., the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 has a constant thickness, which is set to 20 mm to 35 mm, preferably 22 mm to 30 mm. The diameter of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 is set to 260 mm to 400 mm, preferably 300 mm to 350 mm. In one embodiment, the thickness of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 is set to 25 mm, and the diameter of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 is set to 320 mm. The thickness and diameter of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 may be selected depending on factors such as the magnitude of the airflow, the material of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, and the structure and size of the first holes 2202 of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201.

[0120] In this embodiment, different structures and sizes of the first holes 2202 are provided in the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201. The above structure and size design can significantly improve the dehumidifying efficiency of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201.

[0121] 13 has a rectangular structure, and the side length of the rectangle ranges from 40 μm to 200 μm. Preferably, the side length of the rectangle ranges from 80 μm to 120 μm.

[0122] The quadrangular structure may be a square structure, a rectangular structure, a diamond structure, or another quadrangular structure. When the second hole 6013 is rectangular, the side length of the quadrangular structure is the side length of the long side or the short side of the rectangle, and the side lengths of the long side and the short side are all in the range of 40 μm to 200 μm. For example, the side length of the rectangle may be set to 80 μm, 83 μm, 87 μm, 92 μm, 97 μm, 103 μm, 107 μm, 114 μm, 118 μm, or 120 μm. In other embodiments, the second holes 6013 may have a circular structure, and the radius of the circular structure is 40 μm to 200 μm, preferably 80 μm to 120 μm. In other embodiments, the second holes 6013 may have other polygonal structures, such as a hexagonal structure, a regular hexagonal structure, an octagonal structure, or a regular octagonal structure. When the second holes 6013 have a rectangular structure, a hexagonal structure, an octagonal structure, or other structure with unequal side lengths, the longest side length of the second holes 6013 may be in the range of 40 μm to 200 μm, preferably 80 μm to 120 μm.

[0123] In this embodiment, the structural installation combination of the above-mentioned first hole 2202 matches any side length range of the structure forming the second hole 6013. When the first hole 2202 and the second hole 6013 all satisfy the above range, on the one hand, the clothing treatment device can better avoid system abnormalities caused by clogging of the filter mesh 601; on the other hand, the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 has better dehumidifying function, and the drying efficiency of the clothing treatment device is ensured.

[0124] In one set of embodiments, the present application further provides a clothing treatment device, comprising at least a clothing storage device, a drying device 2000, and an air outlet duct 1300. The air outlet duct 1300 connects the clothing storage device and the drying device 2000, and is configured to guide airflow from the clothing storage device to the drying device 2000. The drying device 2000 includes a moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201. A filtering screen 601 is provided in the air outlet duct 1300 to filter the airflow.

[0125] The moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 has a plurality of first holes 2202 that allow air to pass through, and the air is dried as it passes through the first holes 2202. The filter net 601 has second holes 6013 that allow air to pass through. The first holes 2202 are holes formed by arcuate and wavy surfaces, and the second holes 6013 have a rectangular structure, and the ratio of the wave height between the wavy and arcuate surfaces to the side length of the rectangle is 10 to 30.

[0126] As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 , the ratio of d1 to d2 is in the range of 10 to 30, and may be, for example, d1:d2=13, 15, 17, 19, 23, 26, 28, or 30. In one specific example, the first hole 2202 has a wave height between the wave front and the arcuate surface of 1.8 mm, and the second hole 6013 has a rectangular side length of 90 μm. d1:d2=20. In one specific example, the first hole 2202 has a wave height between the wave front and the arcuate surface of 1.7 mm, and the second hole 6013 has a rectangular side length of 80 μm. d1:d2=21.25. In one specific example, the first hole 2202 has a wave height between the wave front and the arcuate surface of 1.8 mm, and the second hole 6013 has a rectangular side length of 100 μm. d1:d2=18.

[0127] In this embodiment, airflow from the clothing storage device is guided to the drying device 2000 by the air outlet duct 1300, and a filter net 601 is provided in the air outlet duct 1300 to filter the airflow. The airflow first passes through a plurality of second holes 6013 in the filter net 601, and then passes through a plurality of first holes 2202 in the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201. The ratio of the wave height d1 in the first holes 2202 to the side length d2 in the second holes 6013 is between 10 and 30, allowing the filter net 601 to filter smaller lint and impurities, reducing the amount of lint and impurities in the airflow passing through the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 and preventing clogging of the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201. Meanwhile, the larger second holes 6013 allow sufficient contact between the moist airflow and the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, improving the dehumidifying efficiency of the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201.

[0128] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the second holes 6013 may be smaller than 1 / 10 of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202. Preferably, the area of ​​the second holes 6013 is smaller than 1 / 50 of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202, and for example, the area of ​​the second holes 6013 may be set to 1 / 50, 1 / 100, 1 / 400, 1 / 900, etc. of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202.

[0129] In this embodiment, the structural arrangement of the first holes 2202 and the second holes 6013 is further optimized, so that the airflow can be sufficiently filtered when it passes through the second holes 6013 of the filter mesh 601, filtering out lint and impurities in the airflow. Furthermore, because the lint and impurities in the airflow are sufficiently filtered after passing through the filter mesh 601, the airflow can be sufficiently dehumidified when it passes through the first holes 2202 with a large cross-sectional area, improving the dehumidification efficiency of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201. The structure and size of the first holes 2202 in the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 and the second holes 6013 in the filter mesh 601 can balance the adhesion / blocking effect of the filter mesh 601, the risk of clogging of the filter mesh 601, the service life of the filter mesh 601, the dehumidification efficiency of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, the failure rate of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, and the service life of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201.

[0130] In one set of embodiments, the present application further provides a clothing treatment device comprising a clothing storage device, a drying device 2000, and an air outlet duct 1300. The air outlet duct 1300 connects the clothing storage device and the drying device 2000 and is configured to guide airflow from the clothing storage device to the drying device 2000. The drying device 2000 includes a moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201. The moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 has a first hole 2202 that allows airflow to pass through and dries the airflow as it passes through, and the filtration screen 601 has a second hole 6013 that allows airflow to pass through. The filtration screen 601 is installed at an angle to the flow direction of the airflow. As shown in Figures 14(a) and (b), the filtration net 601 is set at an angle to the airflow direction, and there is an angle between the setting direction of the filtration net 601 and the airflow direction, and the angle is set to a range of 30° or more, and preferably the angle between the setting direction of the filtration net 601 and the airflow direction is in the range of 70° to 80°.

[0131] The projected area of ​​second hole 6013 on a plane perpendicular to the airflow direction (airflow direction indicated by the black arrows in FIGS. 14(a) and 14(b)) is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​first hole 2202. Note that the projected area of ​​second hole 6013 on a plane perpendicular to the airflow direction in FIG. 13 is smaller than the area of ​​second hole 6013 itself. The cross-sectional area of ​​first hole 2202 is the area of ​​the smallest surface consisting of the arc surface and the wave surface, and the black portion in third region 2230 in FIG. 12 is the cross-sectional area of ​​first hole 2202.

[0132] In this embodiment, the filter net 601 is installed at an angle relative to the airflow direction, which differs from conventional filter nets 601 installed perpendicular to the airflow direction. In this embodiment, the size relationship between the first holes 2202 and the second holes 6013 is limited so that the projected area of ​​the second holes 6013 in a plane perpendicular to the airflow direction is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202. On the one hand, when the airflow passes through the second holes 6013 of the filter net 601, the airflow is sufficiently filtered, filtering out lint and impurities in the airflow. On the other hand, because the lint and impurities in the airflow are sufficiently filtered after passing through the filter net 601, the airflow is sufficiently dehumidified when passing through the first holes 2202 with a larger cross-sectional area, improving the dehumidification efficiency of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201.

[0133] In one embodiment, the air outlet duct 1300 has a mesh 601 attachment area 1361, and the plane on which the mesh 601 lies is inclined at an angle of 30° or more relative to the cross section 1360 of the mesh 601 attachment area 1361.

[0134] 15(a) and 15(b) show the mounting area 1361 of the filter screen 601 and the cross section 1360 of the mounting area 1361. FIG. 16 further shows the inclination angle θ of the plane on which the filter screen 601 is located relative to the cross section 1360 of the mounting area 1361 of the filter screen 601, where the inclination angle θ is 30° or greater. Since different installation angles of the filter screen 601 directly affect its filtering effect, this embodiment provides a settable angle for the filter screen 601 in the air outlet duct 1300 under the premise that the filtering effect reaches 80% or more.

[0135] In one embodiment, the inclination angle θ is 70°≦80°. Under the premise that the second holes 6013 and the first holes 2202 have the same structure and size, the filtering effect can be improved by 10% or more by installing the filtering screen 601 at the inclination angle provided in this embodiment.

[0136] In one embodiment, the projected area of ​​the second holes 6013 in the airflow direction is also smaller than 1 / 10 of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202, and preferably the projected area of ​​the second holes 6013 in the airflow direction is smaller than 1 / 50 of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202. For example, the projected area of ​​the second holes 6013 in the airflow direction may be 1 / 50, 1 / 100, 1 / 400, 1 / 900, etc. of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202.

[0137] In this embodiment, the relationship between the projected area of ​​the second holes 6013 in the airflow direction and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first holes 2202 is limited from another perspective. On the one hand, when the airflow passes through the second holes 6013 of the filtration mesh 601, the airflow can be sufficiently filtered, filtering out lint and impurities in the airflow. On the other hand, because the lint and impurities in the airflow are sufficiently filtered out after passing through the filtration mesh 601, the airflow can be sufficiently dehumidified when passing through the first holes 2202 with a large cross-sectional area, improving the dehumidification efficiency of the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201.

[0141] In one embodiment, the filtration mesh 601 covers more than half of the length of the air outlet duct 1300. As shown in Figure 14, the length of the air outlet duct 1300 is L0, and the length of the portion of the air outlet duct 1300 that the filtration mesh 601 covers is L1, where L1 > 1 / 2 * L0.

One end of the filtration mesh 601 is located at the first end 1301, and for example, one end of the filtration mesh 601 may be located at position 0, 1 / 5*L0, 1 / 6*L0, 1 / 8*L0, 3 / 10*L0, 2 / 5*L0, etc. The other end of the filtration mesh 601 is located at the second end 1302, and for example, the other end of the filtration mesh 601 may be located at 3 / 5*L0, 7 / 10*L0, 4 / 5*L0, 9 / 10*L0, L0, etc. If one end of the filtration mesh 601 is located at 3 / 10*L0 and the other end of the filtration mesh 601 is located at 9 / 10*L0, the filtration mesh 601 covers a length of 3 / 5*L0.

The central axes of the first and second cylinders can overlap. The air outlet duct 1300 is sealingly attached to the rear wall of the outer cylinder. The rear wall of the outer cylinder, the air outlet duct 1300, and the side wall of the outer cylinder together form an air outlet flow path. The rear wall of the outer cylinder is flat, and the side wall of the outer cylinder is an arcuate surface.

[0170] 15, the air outlet duct 1300 includes a vertical passage communicating with the drying device 2000 and an arc-shaped passage communicating with the clothing storage device. When the air outlet duct 1300 is provided with a filtration screen 601, the filtration screen 601 may be provided only in the vertical pipe, or in both the vertical pipe and the arc-shaped pipe.

[0171] In one embodiment, the curvature of the arcuate passage is equal to or less than the curvature of the sides of the garment containment device, ensuring that the air outlet duct 1300 is located entirely within the rear wall of the barrel.

[0172] In one embodiment, a filter screen 601 is provided in the air outlet duct 1300 to filter the airflow, and the filter screen 601 covers more than half of the vertical passage length. In this embodiment, the filter screen 601 is provided only in the vertical duct, which simplifies the installation and fixing process of the filter screen 601. Furthermore, the area of ​​the filter screen 601 is larger when the filter screen 601 is installed in the vertical passage than when it is installed in the arc-shaped passage. Specifically, the filter screen 601 covers more than half of the vertical passage length. For example, the filter screen 601 covers four-fifths of the vertical passage length.

[0173] In one embodiment, the inner cylinder is a cylinder. The outer cylinder is a polyhedron, preferably a tetrahedron, pentahedron, hexahedron, etc. The air outlet duct 1300 is sealingly attached to the rear wall or side wall of the outer cylinder.

[0174] When the air outlet duct 1300 is attached to the side wall of the outer cylinder, the air outlet duct 1300 is attached to one side of the side wall of the outer cylinder. For example, if the outer cylinder is a pentahedron, the rear wall of the outer cylinder is one base of the pentahedron, and the surface opposite the rear wall of the outer cylinder is the other base of the pentahedron, which corresponds to the clothing drop opening of the clothing storage device. The air outlet duct 1300 is attached to one side of the five side walls of the outer cylinder. The rear wall of the outer cylinder, the air outlet duct 1300, and the side wall of the outer cylinder together form a sealed air outlet flow path.

[0175] In one set of embodiments, the present application further provides a garment treatment device comprising a garment storage apparatus, a drying apparatus 2000, a water supply assembly 3000, an air outlet duct 1300, and a filtration screen 601. The air outlet duct 1300 is configured to direct airflow from the garment storage apparatus to the drying apparatus 2000.

[0176] The filter mesh 601 is provided between the air outlet of the clothing storage device and the air inlet of the drying device 2000 to filter the airflow. The water supply assembly 3000 has at least a first water supply line and a second water supply line. The first water supply line supplies water to the clothing storage device through the detergent cartridge, and the second water supply line supplies water to the clothing storage device through the filter mesh 601. The drum water inlet 3200 (the water inlet of the clothing storage device) in the water supply assembly 300 communicates with the first water supply line. The filter mesh water inlet 3300 in the water supply assembly 300 communicates with the second water supply line.

[0177] At least during the same water supply process, both the first water supply line and the second water supply line supply water. The laundry treatment device may include one or more of a washing operation, a rinsing operation, and a drying operation. Specifically, the washing operation includes a first washing stage and / or a second washing stage. The rinsing operation includes a first rinsing stage and / or a second rinsing stage (final rinsing stage). The drying operation includes a heating stage, a main drying stage, and a cooling stage. For example, water supply during the washing operation is measured, detergent is dispensed based on the measurement result, and then water is supplied through a first water supply line to wash the dispensed detergent into the clothing container. The device may be configured to open the second water supply line simultaneously with opening the first water supply line, or may be configured to open the second water supply line a short time after opening the first water supply line. After the detergent is completely washed into the clothing container, the first water supply line is closed, and any remaining water in the clothing container is supplied through the second water supply line.

[0178] For example, the water supply for the second rinse stage or the final rinse stage may be measured, and after dispensing fabric softener based on the measurement result, the water may be supplied through the first water supply line to wash the dispensed fabric softener into the clothing container. The second water supply line may be opened simultaneously with the first water supply line, or the second water supply line may be opened a short time after the first water supply line is opened. After the fabric softener has been completely washed into the clothing container, the first water supply line is closed, and all remaining water in the clothing container is supplied through the second water supply line.

[0179] In this embodiment, by providing the first water supply line and the second water supply line, on the one hand, the water filling time of the clothing storage device is shortened and the water supply efficiency of the clothing storage device is improved; on the other hand, the second water supply line supplies water to the clothing storage device through the filter screen 601, and at the same time cleans the filter screen 601, thereby avoiding clogging of the filter screen 601 and affecting the system drying performance.

[0180] In one embodiment, a filter screen 601 is provided between the air outlet of the clothing storage device and the air inlet of the drying device 2000 to filter the airflow. The second water supply line supplies water to the clothing storage device through the filter screen 601. Therefore, the diameter of the second water supply line may be set larger. For example, the diameter of the second water supply line may be larger than the diameter of the first water supply line. In this way, the amount of water supplied by the second water supply line is greater than the amount of water supplied by the first water inlet line within the same time period. In addition, because the first water supply line is closed after the detergent and / or fabric softener has been completely washed into the clothing storage device, the amount of water supplied by the second water supply line is greater than the amount of water supplied by the first water supply line.

[0181] In this embodiment, the installation of the second water supply pipe reduces the amount of water supplied through the first water supply pipe, thereby extending the use time of the first water supply pipe. Since the amount of water supplied through the second water supply pipe is greater than the amount of water supplied through the first water inlet pipe, more washing water enters through the second water supply pipe and can sufficiently filter the filter screen 601. spray It is possible.

[0182] In one embodiment, if a laundry treatment process does not require the addition of detergent and / or fabric softener to the laundry container, the addition line can be rinse There is no need to open the first water supply line, and the water supply required for the clothing storage device may be supplied only from the second water supply line.

[0183] In one embodiment, the amount of water supplied from the first water supply line and the second water supply line, the order of water supply, and the time of water supply are all adjustable. When there is a small amount of laundry to be washed, there may be cases where the washing water can be filled directly from the first water supply line by a water filling process that completely washes the detergent and / or fabric softener into the clothing storage device. When there is a small amount of laundry to be washed, there may be cases where the washing water can be filled by simultaneously supplying water from the first water supply line and the second water supply line until the detergent and / or fabric softener is completely washed into the clothing storage device from the first water supply line.

[0184] In one embodiment, during a washing operation, the water supply assembly 3000 supplies water to the garment containment apparatus via the second water supply line, providing wash water while filtering the filter screen 601. rinse It is configured to:

[0185] In one embodiment, during a rinse operation, the water supply assembly 3000 supplies water to the garment containment apparatus via the second water supply line, providing rinse water while simultaneously filtering the filter screen 601. rinse It is configured to:

[0186] In one embodiment, the water supply assembly 3000 supplies water to the garment containment apparatus through the second water supply line and the filter screen 601 during the cooling phase of the drying operation or after complete cooling. rinse However, it is configured to prevent the time between washes from being too long, causing lint and impurities to dry on the filter screen 601 and resulting in unpleasant odors or poor cleaning.

[0187] In one embodiment, the water supply assembly 3000 further comprises a step of opening the second water supply line to remove the filter screen 601 if a blockage of the filter screen 601 is detected during the main drying stage. rinseThe method for detecting whether the filter screen 601 is clogged specifically includes providing a pressure sensor to detect pressure changes in the air outlet duct 1300, providing a temperature sensor to detect temperature changes at the air inlet of the clothing storage device and / or the air outlet of the clothing storage device, providing a temperature sensor to detect temperature changes at the inlet and outlet of the condenser 2600, or providing a load current detector to detect current changes in the fan.

[0188] In the above embodiment, the water supply assembly 3000 of the clothes treatment device can open the second water supply line at different stages, so that on the one hand, water can be supplied to the clothes storage device, and on the other hand, the filter screen 601 can be opened. rinse The above design in this embodiment can timely remove lint and impurities adsorbed / attached to the filter net 601 at different stages, avoiding odors caused by clogging or missed cleaning of the filter net 601 and improving the user experience. Since the second water supply line can be opened at different stages, the filter net 601 can perform appropriate filtering at each operating stage of the device and improve the operating efficiency of the device.

[0189] In one embodiment, a flow dividing device is provided in the second water supply line. rinse To make the water flow directly to the drain outlet through a drain pipe without flowing back into the clothing storage device.

[0190] In this embodiment, in the main drying stage, the water flow can be directly introduced into the drain pipe without passing through the clothes container by controlling the flow diverter. rinse This prevents the water from flowing back into the clothing storage device, prevents the lint and impurities filtered by the filter net 601 from re-entering the clothing storage device, and indirectly improves the filtering efficiency of the filter net 601.

[0191] In one set of embodiments, the present application further provides a control method for a clothing treatment apparatus. The clothing treatment apparatus includes a clothing storage device, a drying device 2000, a water supply assembly 3000, and an air outlet duct 1300 connecting the clothing storage device and the drying device 2000. The air outlet duct 1300 is configured to guide the air flow from the clothing storage device to the drying device 2000.

[0192] A filter screen 601 is provided in the air outlet duct 1300. The filter screen 601 is provided in the air outlet duct 1300 for filtering the air flow. The water supply assembly 3000 has at least a first water supply pipeline and a second water supply pipeline. The first water supply pipeline supplies water to the clothing storage device through a detergent cartridge. The second water supply pipeline supplies water to the clothing storage device through the filter screen 601.

[0193] The control method of the clothing treatment apparatus includes the following: In at least the same water supply process, it is controlled that the first water injection volume of the first water supply pipeline is not more than the second water injection volume of the second water supply pipeline. For example, in the washing stage, if the total water supply volume of the clothing storage device is V, it is controlled that the first water injection volume V1 of the first water supply pipeline (for example, V1 = 2 / 5 * V) is smaller than the second water injection volume V2 of the second water supply pipeline (for example, V2 = 3 / 5 * V). On the premise of satisfying V1 < V2, the values of V1 and V2 may be other numbers.

[0194] In this embodiment, by setting the first water injection volume to be not more than the second water injection volume, on the one hand, the simultaneous water supply of the two pipelines shortens the water injection time of the clothing storage device and improves the water supply efficiency of the clothing storage device. On the other hand, the second water supply pipeline with a larger water injection volume supplies water to the clothing storage device, so that the filter screen 601 can be spray simultaneously, and it can be avoided that the clogging of the filter screen 601 affects the system drying performance.

[0195] In one embodiment, the second water supply volume is greater than 50% of the total water supply volume of one water supply cycle of the clothing treatment device, i.e., V2>50%*V. When water is supplied to the clothing storage device only through the first water supply line and the second water supply line, the second water supply volume through the second water supply line is greater than 50%. Of course, in other embodiments, the addition of a third water supply line is not excluded. The water supply amount from the third water supply line to the clothing storage device is the third water supply amount. At this time, it is necessary to balance the three water supply lines and further set the relationship between the first water supply amount, the second water supply amount and the third water supply amount.

[0196] In this embodiment, different amounts of water are set to the first water supply pipe and the second water supply pipe 6105, so that the amount of water supplied to the detergent cartridge can be adjusted. rinse It not only realizes the function but also achieves the maximum / longest time for washing the filter screen 601, and optimizes the function of the filter screen 601 in the laundry treatment device.

[0197] In one embodiment, during a washing operation, a first water supply amount is determined according to the amount of detergent added before washing. In the first rinse stage, the first water supply amount is 0. At this time, all water to the laundry treatment device is supplied through the second water supply line, i.e., the second water supply amount is V. In the second rinse stage, the first water supply amount is determined according to the amount of fabric softener added before rinsing.

[0198] In this embodiment, in the water supply in different laundry treatment processes, the second water supply amount is greater than the first water supply amount, so that the washing time of the filter screen 601 is extended, the washing flow rate and the washing flow rate are increased, and the filter screen 601 is washed more thoroughly. spray It is possible.

[0199] In one embodiment, the water supply assembly 3000 further includes a flow divider disposed in the second water supply line.

[0200] During the main drying stage, the water flow in the second water supply pipe is entirely directed into the drainage pipe without passing through the clothing storage device by controlling the diversion device, thereby avoiding secondary filtration and improving the filtering efficiency of the filter net 601, while at the same time preventing moisture from the filtered water from penetrating into the drying clothes, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0201] In one set of embodiments, the present application further provides a method for controlling a garment treatment device, the garment treatment device comprising a garment storage device, a drying device 2000, a water supply assembly 3000 and an air outlet duct 1300 connecting the garment storage device and the drying device 2000, the air outlet duct 1300 being configured to guide airflow from the garment storage device to the drying device 2000.

[0202] The air outlet duct 1300 is provided with a filter mesh 601, which is provided within the air outlet duct 1300 to filter the airflow. The water supply assembly 3000 has at least a first water supply line and a second water supply line. The first water supply line supplies water to the clothing storage device through the detergent cartridge, and the second water supply line supplies water to the clothing storage device through the filter mesh 601.

[0203] A method for controlling a clothing treatment device includes the following steps: S1, determine whether to add detergent and / or fabric softener.

[0204] S2, open the first water supply line to wash the detergent and / or fabric softener.

[0205] S3, No. 1 water supply pipeline rinse At the end of the process or after the completion of the process, open the second water supply pipe and remove the filter net 601. rinse do.

[0206] In this embodiment, three different opening time nodes for the second water supply line are set, which can be applied to different water supply processes. Opening the second water supply line at the three different time nodes produces different effects. (1) Opening the second water supply line before S1 shortens the time required to supply water to the clothing storage device and increases the time required to clean the filter screen 601. (2) Opening the second water supply line while opening the first water supply line allows the first and second water supply volumes to be monitored simultaneously, making it easy to dynamically adjust the water supply speeds of the two water supply lines. (3) Closing the first water supply line while opening the second water supply line allows the first water supply volume to be determined and then the water supply process of the second water supply line to be controlled. This prevents the sum of the first and second water supply volumes from exceeding the total water supply volume during the clothing processing process.

[0207] In one set of embodiments, the present application further provides a garment treatment device comprising a garment storage device, a drying device 2000, a water supply assembly 3000, and an air outlet duct 1300 connecting the garment storage device and the drying device 2000, wherein the air outlet duct 1300 is configured to direct airflow from the garment storage device to the drying device 2000.

[0208] The air outlet duct 1300 is provided with a filter net 601, which is installed in the air outlet duct 1300 to filter the airflow. The laundry treatment device further includes a water film determination device and a water film removal device.

[0209] The water film determining device is used to detect changes in system parameters in the laundry treatment device and determine whether a water film exists on the filtration net 601 according to the changes in the system parameters. The system parameters include one or more of temperature, pressure, and current. The water film removal device is used to remove the water film from the filter mesh.

[0210] The water film determination device is used to detect and determine whether a water film exists on the filtration net 601. The water film determination device may be implemented in various ways, such as by detecting system parameters such as the temperature, pressure, current, and fan power within the treatment device. The laundry treatment device has multiple temperatures, and the specific temperature used to detect whether a water film has formed on the filtration net is specially designed by the inventors to achieve accurate detection. The water film removal device is activated when a water film exists on the filtration net 601 and is used to remove the water film from the filtration net in a timely manner. The water film removal device may be implemented in various ways, such as by removing the water film through the active movement of the filtration net 601, by assisted water film removal by another device, or by using an existing device to remove the water film.

[0211] In this embodiment, by installing a water film detection device and a water film removal device, the filtering state of the filter net 601 can be detected immediately during the operation of the device. Once a water film is present on the filter net, it will be detected in a timely manner and removed promptly, ensuring that the filter net 601 always operates in a filtering state.

[0212] In one embodiment, the water film determination device is a temperature sensor that is installed at the air outlet of the clothing storage device and is used to detect the temperature at the air outlet of the clothing storage device and determine whether a water film exists on the filtration net 601 according to the magnitude of the temperature.

The regeneration module 30 includes a regeneration fan 2400 and a regeneration heating module 2500. The regeneration heating module 2500 is used to heat the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 and the regeneration airflow. The condensation module 40 is connected to the regeneration air outlet of the regeneration fan 2400, and the high-temperature, high-humidity regeneration airflow output from the regeneration air outlet is condensed to form a low-temperature, dry airflow. The area on the moisture-absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 that is circulated by the circulating airflow is the dehumidifying section, and the area that is circulated by the regeneration airflow is the regeneration area.

[0215] The water film determination device is a temperature sensor provided at the air inlet and / or air outlet of the condensation module 40. The water film determination device detects the temperature at the air inlet and / or air outlet of the condensation module 40 and determines whether a water film is present on the filtration net 601 based on changes in the temperature at the air inlet and / or air outlet of the condensation module 40. In this embodiment, when a water film forms on the filtration net 601, the flow of air is restricted, the temperature of the circulating airflow (the circulating airflow that has entered the clothing storage device) rises, and as the temperature of the dehumidifying section rises, the temperature of the regeneration area (where the regeneration heating module 2500 is located) also rises, resulting in an increase in both the temperatures at the inlet and outlet of the condenser 2600. In this embodiment, when the temperature near the air inlet of the condenser 2600 is equal to or higher than a certain temperature threshold, for example, 100°C, the system may be configured to determine that a water film is present on the filtration net 601 and that it needs to be removed. Alternatively, when the temperature near the air outlet of the condenser 2600 is equal to or higher than a certain temperature threshold, for example, 90°C, the system may be configured to determine that a water film is present on the filtration net 601 and that it needs to be removed.

[0216] In one embodiment, the water film determining device is a load current detector, which is used to detect the magnitude of the load current of the circulation fan 2100. In this embodiment, when the load current of the circulation fan 2100 decreases in the constant speed mode, it is determined that a water film exists on the filtration screen and needs to be removed. When the load current of the circulation fan 2100 increases in the constant power mode, it is determined that a water film exists on the filtration screen and needs to be removed.

[0217] In one embodiment, the water film determination device is a pressure sensor, and is provided in the filtration screen 601 and the air outlet duct 1300 of the drying device 2000. In this embodiment, the position of the pressure sensor may vary. The water film determination device is used to detect whether the pressure change rate in the air outlet duct 1300 has reached a predetermined threshold, for example, whether the pressure change rate has reached a certain threshold, for example, 20%.

[0218] In one embodiment, the water film removal device is a filter mesh 601 oscillator, connected to the filter mesh 601 and configured to remove water films by controlling the vibration frequency of the filter mesh 601 oscillator. In this embodiment, the filter mesh 601 oscillator is configured as a strip and is installed on the non-filtering side of the filter mesh 601. The filter mesh 601 oscillator includes a control motor and a vibration piece, and the vibration piece is attached to the non-filtering side of the filter mesh 601. The vibration piece has a third hole, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the second hole 6013. When the presence of water films on the filter mesh is detected, the control motor of the filter mesh 601 oscillator is activated and the vibration piece is controlled to vibrate at a specific frequency, thereby removing the water films on the filter mesh 601. In this embodiment, the filter mesh 601 can resonate at the same frequency as the vibration piece, achieving good water film removal effect.

[0219] In one embodiment, the water film removal device is a power applicator. The power applicator includes a power generation module and at least one power ball. The power generation module is connected to the at least one power ball and is used to generate power of different frequencies. The power ball is spaced apart from the filtration mesh 601, and the distance between them is related to the movement distance of the power ball. The movement distance of the power ball is equal to or greater than the distance between them.

[0220] If a water film is detected to exist on the filtration mesh 601, when the power applicator is activated, there is a moment when the power ball comes into contact with the surface (non-filtering surface) of the filtration mesh 601, and the power ball applies a force to the filtration mesh 601 that is enough to break through the water film on the filtration mesh 601 in order to remove the water film.

The at least two separators do not intersect with the minor axis 2721, dividing the internal space formed by the first and second housings docking into two spaces, i.e., a first space and a second space, or a moisture absorption space and a regeneration space, or a moisture absorption region and a regeneration region. In some embodiments, the receiving portion is annular, and the at least two separators are arranged tangentially to the outer periphery of the annular receiving portion.

[0229] Moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 rotates around the rotation axis under the action of moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk drive unit 2300. When moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 rotates to the moisture absorption region, it can sufficiently adsorb moisture in the airflow from the clothing storage device, and when moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 rotates to the regeneration region, it can sufficiently desorb the moisture absorbed by moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201, thereby restoring the moisture absorption function of moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201.

[0230] The regeneration fan 2400 is used to form a regeneration airflow and restore the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 to a dry state. The area of ​​the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 that is circulated by the airflow is the dehumidification area, and the area that is circulated by the regeneration airflow is the regeneration area. The regeneration heating module 2500 is used to heat the moisture absorbing and dehumidifying rotating disk 2201 and the regeneration airflow in the area where the regeneration area is located.
