[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority based on patent applications filed in China on September 29, 2022 (application numbers: 202211196228.3, 202222637068.3), the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] Technical Field The present invention relates to the field of clothing care, and more particularly to clothing care devices. [Background technology]

[0003] As people's quality of life improves, the demand for clothing care continues to increase, and clothing care devices are increasingly widely used in daily life to perform one or more of the functions of dust removal, ironing, wrinkle removal, and sterilization of clothing.

[0004] In related technology, a clothing care device uses a fan to blow air onto clothes to remove wrinkles, and a clothes rack for hanging clothes is installed inside the clothing care device, and the clothes rack may work with the fan to remove wrinkles by spreading out the clothes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals always refer to the same or similar elements, or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and are only used to interpret the present application, and should not be construed as limitations on the present application.

[0028] Next, a clothing care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 1, 9-10 and 13-17, a clothing care device 1 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a box assembly 10 and a first fan 20.

[0030] The box assembly 10 comprises a first air blowing section 101, a first air blowing section 103 and a maintenance chamber 105, and the first air blowing section 101 and the first air blowing section 103 are both connected to the maintenance chamber 105. A first blower 20 is installed in the box assembly 10, and the blowing inlet 201 of the first blower 20 is connected to the first air blowing section 103 and the blowing outlet 202 of the first blower 20 is connected to the first air blowing section 101.

[0031] When the first fan 20 is operating, at least a portion of the air in the treatment chamber 105 is driven to be blown out from the first air blowing section 103 and enter the first fan 20 through the air blowing inlet 201 of the first fan 20, or the air in the first fan 20 is blown out from the air blowing outlet 202 of the first fan 20 and blown into the treatment chamber 105 through the first air blowing section 101. In this way, the air circulates and reciprocates.

[0032] The maintenance room 105 is provided with a first position suitable for attaching a clothes rack, and the first air blowing section 101 is located at a second position, the first position and the second position being spaced apart.

[0033] In the clothing care device 1 according to the embodiment of the present application, the first position and the second position are spaced apart, so that the first air blowing section 101 is located on at least one side of the clothes rack. The air that enters the care chamber 105 from the first air blowing section 101 on at least one side of the clothes rack does not enter the inside of the clothes directly, but flows on at least one side of the outside of the clothes. The air flowing on the outside of the clothes can shake the clothes, thereby improving the dust removal effect on the clothes. In addition, when combined with the drying or ironing function of the clothing care device, it becomes possible to dry or iron the clothes from the outside, thereby further improving the drying or ironing effect on the clothes, which in turn improves the care effect of the clothing care device 1 and improves the user's usage experience.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the first air blowing section 101 has a plurality of first air blowing ports 1011, and the plurality of first air blowing ports 1011 are respectively located at a plurality of second positions, and the first position is located between at least two of the second positions, so that at least two first air blowing ports 1011 are located at both ends of the clothes rack.

[0035] In one example, multiple first air inlets 1011 may be installed at intervals along a preset direction (left and right direction as shown in Figure 13), multiple mounting portions 1121 are provided on the top wall of the maintenance room 105, multiple mounting portions 1121 are arranged at intervals along the preset direction, the mounting portions 1121 are used to attach clothes racks, at least one first air inlet 1011 is installed between two adjacent mounting portions 1121, and one mounting portion 1121 is installed between two adjacent first air inlets 1011.

[0036] When at least two first air inlets 1011 are installed on both sides of the clothes rack, the air blown into the care chamber 105 from the first air inlets 1011 on both sides of the clothes rack does not directly enter the inside of the clothes but flows to both sides of the outside of the clothes, and the air flowing on both sides of the outside of the clothes can shake the clothes, thereby improving the effect of removing dust from the clothes and further improving the effect of drying or ironing the clothes, thereby improving the care effect of the clothes care device 1 and improving the user's experience.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 15, in some embodiments of the present application, the clothing care device 1 further includes a ventilation shell 30, which defines at least one passage 301, through which the air outlet 202 of the first fan 20 communicates with the first air blowing section 101, and at least a portion of the width of the passage 301 narrows along the direction of the airflow.

[0038] In other words, the width of at least a part of the passage 301 gradually decreases from the air outlet 202 of the first fan 20 to the first air blowing section 101. For example, the width of a part of the passage 301 approaching the first air blowing section 101 gradually decreases from the air outlet 202 of the first fan 20 to the first air blowing section 101, thereby increasing the wind speed in the first air blowing section 101.

[0039] Therefore, by installing the ventilation shell 30 between the air outlet 202 of the first fan 20 and the first air-blowing section 101, an airflow guidance effect can be achieved, making it convenient to arrange the first fan 20 on the box assembly 10. The width of at least a portion of the passage 301 defined by the contour of the ventilation shell 30 is set to decrease along the airflow direction, which may increase the air speed at the first air-blowing section 101, which is beneficial to improving the usage efficiency of the garment care device 1 and enhancing the user experience.

[0040] As shown in Figure 20, in some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of partition bars 31 are provided at the outlet of the passage 301, and the plurality of partition bars 31 are spaced apart along the length of the outlet of the passage 301, so that the outlet of the passage 301 is divided into a plurality of small air outlets. In this way, the effect of air dispersion is achieved, and the partition bars 31 can also serve as wind guides, so that the direction of the partition bars 31 can be set according to demand, and ventilation requirements can be met.

[0041] As shown in Figures 17-20, in some embodiments of the present application, the passage 301 has a passage main body 3011 and a plurality of branching portions 3012, the inlet of the passage main body 3011 is connected to the air outlet 202 of the first blower 20, the outlet of the passage main body 3011 is connected to the inlets of the plurality of branching portions 3012, the first air blowing portion 101 has a plurality of first air blowing ports 1011, and the plurality of first air blowing ports 1011 are connected to the outlets of the plurality of branching portions 3012 in a one-to-one relationship.

[0042] Specifically, the air blown out from the air outlet 202 of the first blower 20 enters the inside of the passage main body 3011 through the entrance of the passage main body 3011, then branches into the multiple branching parts 3012, is blown out from the exits of the multiple branching parts 3012, and is blown into the treatment room through the multiple first air blowing ports 1011. The exits of the multiple branching parts 3012 can be arranged according to a preset pattern, and can be arranged according to the arrangement pattern of the first air blowing ports 1011, for example.

[0043] Therefore, by configuring the passage 301 to have a passage main body 3011 and multiple branching sections 3012, the airflow can be diverted through the multiple branching sections 3012, which helps to increase the occupation area of ​​the first air blowing section 101, and the airflow blowing into the care chamber 105 through the first air blowing section 101 can be quickly diffused to various positions in the care chamber 105, further improving the use effect of the clothing care device 1.

[0044] In some embodiments, the width of each branch portion 3012 decreases along the direction of the airflow to increase the blowing velocity of the airflow at the outlet of each branch portion 3012. For example, the cross section of one end of the branch portion 3012 that joins with the passage main body 3011 may be made wider rectangular, and the cross section of the other end of the branch portion 3012 may be made flatter rectangular.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first fan 20 has a plurality of air outlets 202 and a plurality of ventilation shells 30, and the plurality of air outlets 202 of the first fan 20 communicate with the plurality of ventilation shells 30 in a one-to-one relationship.

[0046] When the first fan 20 is operating, the air blown out of the treatment chamber 105 through the first air blowing section 103 enters the first fan 20 under the action of the first fan 20, and the air inside the first fan 20 is blown out from the multiple air blowing outlets 202 of the first fan 20, flows through the passages 301 of the multiple ventilation shells 30, and finally blows into the treatment chamber 105 through the multiple first air blowing ports 1011 of the first air blowing section 101. In this way, the air circulates and reciprocates.

[0047] 19-20, in some embodiments, the first fan 20 includes an electric motor 21, two fan shells 22, and two impellers, the electric motor 21 has two electric motor shafts, the two air outlets 202 of the first fan 20 are installed on the two fan shells 22, the outlets on the two fan shells 22 are connected to the two ventilation shells 30 in a one-to-one relationship, and a rotatable impeller 23 is installed inside each fan shell 22, i.e., the two impellers 23 are arranged inside the two fan shells 22 in a one-to-one relationship and the two impellers are connected to the two electric motor shafts in a one-to-one relationship. In other words, the electric motor 21 of the first fan 20 is a double-shaft electric motor, and when the electric motor 21 is operating, the two impellers 23 can be driven to rotate simultaneously, which makes control more convenient.

[0048] In some embodiments, the fan shell 22 is connected to the ventilation shell 30 via a plurality of fasteners.

[0049] 19, a plurality of first connecting holes 221 are provided on the periphery of each air outlet 202 of the first fan 20, and the plurality of first connecting holes 221 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the air outlet. A plurality of second connecting holes 302 are provided on the periphery of the entrance of the passage 301 of each ventilation shell 30, and the plurality of second connecting holes 302 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the entrance. The positions of the plurality of first connecting holes 221 and the plurality of second connecting holes 302 correspond one-to-one. The periphery of each air outlet 202 of the first fan 20 is connected to the ventilation shell 30 via a plurality of fastening members. By inserting each fastening member into the corresponding first connecting holes 221 and second connecting holes 302, the structure is simple and assembly and disassembly are convenient.

[0050] In some embodiments, the impeller 23 is a centrifugal impeller 23. By installing the impeller 23 as a centrifugal impeller 23, air can be blown in along the axial direction and air can be blown out along the circumferential direction, which reduces the occupied space and provides good ventilation effect.

[0051] As shown in Figures 14-15 and 17, in some embodiments of the present application, the box assembly 10 comprises an outer housing 111 and an inner housing 112, the inner housing 112 is installed inside the outer housing 111, the inner housing 112 defines the contours of the maintenance chamber 105, the maintenance chamber 105 has a front opening, and an installation space is provided between the outer housing 111 and the top wall of the inner housing 112.

[0052] In it, the first fan 20 and the ventilation shell 30 are installed between the outer housing 111 and the top wall of the inner housing 112. That is, the first fan 20 and the ventilation shell 30 are installed in the above-mentioned installation space, and the first air blowing part 101 is installed on the top wall of the inner housing 112, so that the effect of air blowing from the top of the maintenance chamber 105 is achieved, allowing the airflow to blow into the maintenance chamber 105 from top to bottom.

[0053] In order to ensure the heat insulating performance of the box assembly 10, it is possible to install a foam layer between the outer housing 111 and the inner housing 112. Of course, it is also possible to install other heat insulating material sandwiched between them.

[0054] As shown in Figures 1-8, 15 and 17, in some embodiments, the box assembly 10 further includes an airflow blocking member 113, which is installed inside the inner housing 112, and the space between the airflow blocking member 113 and the rear wall of the inner housing 112 defines a first ventilation chamber 11302 that communicates with the maintenance chamber 105, i.e., the first ventilation chamber 11302 is located behind the maintenance chamber 105, and the air inlet 201 of the first blower 20 communicates with the first air blowing section 103 via the first ventilation chamber 11302.

[0055] Specifically, when the first blower 20 is operating, at least a portion of the air in the treatment chamber 105 flows backward and is blown into the first ventilation chamber 11302 through the first air blowing section 103, and at least a portion of the air blown into the first ventilation chamber 11302 flows upward and enters the first blower 20 through the air inlet 201 of the first blower 20, and the air in the first blower 20 is blown out from the air outlet 202 of the first blower 20 into the passage 301 of the ventilation shell 30, then passes through the first air blowing section 101 into the treatment chamber 105, and flows from top to bottom. In this way, the air circulates and reciprocates.

[0056] Therefore, by installing the airflow shielding member 113 on the rear wall of the inner housing 112, the outline of the first ventilation chamber 11302 can be defined using such a simple structure, and the first ventilation chamber 11302 can be used to connect the air inlet 201 of the first fan 20 to the first air blowing section 103, allowing the air in the care chamber 105 to circulate under the action of the first fan 20, which helps to improve the effectiveness of using the clothing care device 1.

[0057] If the distance between the first air blowing section 103 and the first blower 20 is too large, the first blower 20 will not have enough power to blow the air in the care chamber 105 from the first air blowing section 103 into the first ventilation chamber 11302, and the air will not be driven to circulate quickly between the care chamber 105 and the first ventilation chamber 11302.If the distance between the first air blowing section 103 and the first blower 20 is too small, only a small amount of air at the top of the care chamber 105 may circulate between the care chamber 105 and the first ventilation chamber 11302.It is understandable that this will result in uneven care effects from the clothing care device 1, as a large amount of air will not be able to circulate between the care chamber 105 and the first ventilation chamber 11302.

[0058] Therefore, as shown in Figures 9-10 and 13-14, in some embodiments, the first air blowing section 103 is installed in the middle part of the air flow shielding member 113 in the vertical direction, so that a large amount of air in the upper middle part of the care chamber 105 can circulate between the upper middle part of the care chamber 105 and the first ventilation chamber 11302 under the driving of the first fan 20, thereby ensuring the ventilation effect of the clothing care device 1 and improving the care effect of the clothing care device 1.

[0059] It should be understood that the vertical middle part of the airflow shielding member 113 refers to the part of the airflow shielding member 113 excluding the upper and lower ends, and may be the central part of the airflow shielding member 113 or a part of the airflow shielding member 113 close to the upper or lower part.

[0060] As shown in FIGS. 7-8, in some embodiments, first ventilation sections 1146 are installed on the left and right sides of the airflow blocking member 113, respectively, and the first ventilation chamber 11302 communicates with the maintenance chamber 105 via the first ventilation sections 1146.

[0061] When the first blower 20 is operating, some of the air in the maintenance chamber 105 may be blown out of the maintenance chamber 105 through the first air blowing section 103 and enter the first ventilation chamber 11302, or may be blown out through the first ventilation sections 1146 on the left and right sides of the air flow shielding member 113 and enter the first ventilation chamber 11302.

[0062] Therefore, by installing the first ventilation section 1146 on the left and right sides of the air flow shielding member 113, the outline of the first ventilation chamber 11302 can be defined using such a simple structure, and by using the first ventilation section 1146 to connect the first ventilation chamber 11302 to the care chamber 105, air can be blown out on the left and right sides of the air flow shielding member 113, preventing the existence of blind spots in local areas of the care chamber 105, ensuring the ventilation effect of the care chamber 105, making the care effect more uniform, and improving the user experience of the clothing care device 1.

[0063] In some alternative embodiments, the first ventilation section 1146 has a band-shaped ventilation opening, and the length of the band-shaped ventilation opening extends along the length direction of the airflow blocking member 113.

[0064] Specifically, when the garment care device 1 is in operation, it forms air curtains that extend vertically on both the left and right sides of the care chamber 105, thereby increasing not only the ventilation volume per unit time but also the ventilation strength. This ensures a more effective ventilation of the care chamber 105, a more uniform care effect, and an improved user experience of the garment care device 1.

[0065] As shown in Figures 2-3, in some alternative embodiments, the first ventilation section 1146 has a plurality of first ventilation openings 11461, and the plurality of first ventilation openings 11461 are spaced apart along the length of the air flow blocking member 113.

[0066] Therefore, by configuring the first ventilation section 1146 to have multiple first ventilation ports 11461, not only can the ventilation volume per unit time be increased, but the structural shape and size of the multiple first ventilation ports 11461 can be individually designed according to demand, which helps to meet custom designs and ventilation requirements.

[0067] For example, the first ventilation openings 11461 may be designed as round holes, square holes or rectangular holes, or the arrangement density of the first ventilation openings 11461 may be set according to the height position, thereby meeting the ventilation requirements.

[0068] As shown in Figures 9-10, in some implementations, the space between the airflow shielding member 113 and the rear wall of the inner housing 112 defines the outline of a second ventilation chamber 11301 that communicates with the maintenance chamber 105, the front part of the bottom wall of the inner housing 112 has a second air blowing section 104, and the rear part of the bottom wall of the inner housing 112 has an airflow passage 107 that communicates with the second ventilation chamber 11301.

[0069] Furthermore, the clothing care device 1 further includes a drying channel assembly 40, which is installed below the inner housing 112 and defines the contours of an air flow channel 401, an inlet 4011 of which communicates with the second air blowing section 104, and an outlet 4012 of which communicates with the air flow opening 107, and a heating element and a second blower 43 are installed inside the air flow channel 401.

[0070] When the second blower 43 is operating, air blown out of the maintenance chamber 105 from the second air blowing section 104 enters the air flow passage 401, is heated by the heating element, and may enter the second ventilation chamber 11301 through the air flow passage 107, and a portion of the air that has entered the second ventilation chamber 11301 may pass through the second ventilation section 1145 and be blown out of the second ventilation chamber 11301 into the maintenance chamber 105. In the technical means in which the first ventilation chamber 11302 is connected to the second ventilation chamber 11301, a portion of the air that has entered the second ventilation chamber 11301 may enter the maintenance chamber 105 through the first air blowing section 101 under the action of the first blower 20.
